Opinion and Commentary on state, regional and national news articles from a conservative feminist point of view expressed and written by conservative moderate: Tina Hemond

ISIS beheads U.S. Journalist – similar to Mexican Beheadings of Journalist - Theory - Is it Possible ISIS is Operating on the US Border?
In a graphic video released by the terrorist organization ISIS, American journalist, James Wright Foley, was beheaded after being held captive for two years. (New York Daily News). The organization, middle eastern, Radicalized Muslim, uses the practice of beheading on a regular basis, be it men, women, and yes, even children who are of Christian or what they believe to be heretical Muslims. What is interesting in this schematic is the war in Mexico, where similar tactics are used.
During the past decade long war, examples of murder, specifically of journalist has been catalogued by Justice in Mexico.org, the method favored by those who would stifle the press is – beheading. (Justice in Mexico)
In looking at the culture in Mexico now, going back centuries to cultures that no longer exist, there are no specific references made to the practice of beheading. There is only one place in the world where it is a cultural norm and that is the Middle East. Which begs some questions as to what has brought the practice to Mexico? One might look to the trends of criminal organizations (cartels, etc.) working hand in hand with paramilitary extremists from other nations in a mutually advantageous arrangement – the drug money being used to fund further purchases of arms and weapons by those "strongmen" who would aid the drug (or alcohol, what have you) cartels.
With the open borders now in evidence, and the decade where this border has been porous – is it truly a stretch of the imagination for anyone to believe that ISIS may have a presence in the US, and are the threats being made now, evidence of that fact. A note of caution, however, as jumping to conclusions rather than theorizing can occur, should a video of a protestor emerge, holding an ISIS banner in Missouri (CNN news broadcast) – that individual may not actually know what the banner stands for, or any flag for that matter. This is referring to a news report video form CNN showing exactly that, and, as a result, causing a bit of discomfort for those who actually watch the news. What one might find more worrisome is the theoretical connection between the two organization of ISIS and the Mexican Drug Cartels, considering again, that a methodology for dispatching one's enemies that has never been a part of a specific culture or continent is now prevalent.

Format: E-Galley, 400 pages
Release Date: March 7, 2017
Publisher: Entangled: Teen
Source: Publisher
Genre: Young Adult, Mystery
Some secrets are best kept hidden…Anastasia Phoenix has always been the odd girl out, whether moving from city to international city with her scientist parents or being the black belt who speaks four languages.
And most definitely as the orphan whose sister is missing, presumed dead.
She's the only one who believes Keira is still alive, and when new evidence surfaces, Anastasia sets out to follow the trail—and lands in the middle of a massive conspiracy. Now she isn't sure who she can trust. At her side is Marcus, the bad boy with a sexy accent who's as secretive as she is. He may have followed her to Rome to help, but something about him seems too good to be true.
Nothing is as it appears, and when everything she's ever known is revealed to be a lie, Anastasia has to believe in one impossibility. She will find her sister.
"How far would you go to save the only person you have left?"
Proof of Lies is the first installment in author Diana Rodriguez Wallach's Anastasia Phoenix series. 17-year old Anastasia Phoenix lost her parents to an apparent car crash 3 years ago. At the time, they both worked for the Dresden Chemical Corporation and were preparing for yet another move; a move that caused some major animosity and hurt words by Anastasia. The reason for the animosity lies in the fact that her family has been to 9 different cities, 5 different countries, and 4 different continents.
The only plus side is that she can speak 4 different languages. After losing their parents, Keira gave up her own future as a Doctor in order to protect and take care of her sister. You could say that there was a bit of resentment on Keira's part for having to give up her life & to take care of her younger sister, and on Anastasia's part after Keira threw herself into reckless parties, and meaningless sex. Then, yet another tragedy strikes the Phoenix household which now includes their friend and roommate Charlotte.
After Anastasia returns from the store to find that her sister is missing, all signs indicate that she may have met with a bad ending. Anastasia loses herself to major depression, and heart break, until she learns of a video showing Keira and a beau has been discovered. A beau who she last seen the night Keira went missing. A video that may prove that Keira is still alive. Anastasia receives yet another shock when family friend Randolph Urban, CEO of Dresden, makes a claim that her parents were under investigation by the FBI, and they may not be who she thought they were.
With financial support from Urban, and new friend Marcus Rey, another Dresden kid, alongside, Anastasia travels to Italy in hopes of learning more about what really happened to Keira, and why she was really taken. What she discovers there, will have major repercussions for the rest of the series.
One of my favorite characters in this story besides Anastasia, is Charlotte. Her support, her computer prowess, her unwillingness to let Anastasia run into trouble alone, and her courage to stand by Anastasia when she checked out for several months, made her someone to love and keep an eye out throughout this series.
From beginning to end, Anastasia goes through some major growing. She has to in order to discover things about her sister, her parents, and even herself that would have remained secret otherwise. Oh sure, she may have had Marcus alongside for the ride, and oh sure, Marcus own issues may be just important as hers, but Anastasia is someone who can take care of herself. She's got a black belt for a reason folks, and yes, she knows how to use it in order to get what she wants from those who hold deep, dark, dangerous secrets. There are a whole lot of twists in this book. Twists that left me wondering what will happened next.

When 14-year-old Michal Blicharz organized video gaming events at internet cafes in his native Kielce, Poland, he never imagined that his passion would turn into a global and cultural phenomenon.
Today, Blicharz is the director of the Electronic Sports League (ESL) and he's the energetic and logistical wizard behind Intel Extreme Masters (IEM), the oldest and most prestigious eSports tournament.
Blicharz is responsible for pulling off IEM events in cities across the globe. And this is no small feat. At the IEM World Championships 2015 in Katowice, Poland earlier this year, 104,000 fans lined up to see the action.
Yes, more than a hundred-thousand fans came to watch other people play video games.
"I never imagined that we would have a stadium entirely full of people," said Blicharz. "You go onto the stage, and as far as the eye can see, up to the rafters, on top of the nosebleeds and standing on the stairs there are people. There are people outside the stadium waiting to get in."
The massive explosion in eSports popularity inspired director Patrick Creadon to make All Work All Play, a feature-length documentary that chronicles the lives of eSports personalities. For a year, Creadon and his team travelled the world, following Blicharz, various eSports personalities and several international teams as they mouse-clicked their ways across the globe.
"A lot of people may not know what eSports is, but I can tell you they're about it to," said Creadon who, along with his wife and business partner Christine O'Malley, produced the charming crossword puzzle documentary WordPlay, which launched to high acclaim at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival.
Creadon admits when he began the All Work All Play project he knew very little about eSports. "When this story came to us, we fell in love with it," he said. They liked the idea of a competition and wanted to show the human side of an emerging phenomenon.
"The crazy thing about documentaries is that you don't have a script and you only get one take," he said. "You never really know where the story's going to go when you start."
It started with the film crew tagging along behind Blicharz, who Creadon says is a "human tornado." Blicharz, a legendary gamer and respected gaming journalist, literally grew up with the video game industry.
"He loves the fact that this genuine love of his has become his life's work," said Creadon. "I think that's one of my favourite things about the movie."
In the late-1990s, Blicharz and his buddies/team mates travelled around Poland, carrying their headsets and joysticks to local Internet cafés and taking on anyone who would play.
He likens those times to the movie The Hustler, where Paul Newman plays a pool shark increasingly pushed up against better competition and higher stakes.
"I got really sucked into the local Internet café scene where people would go to play online games and network games with each other," he said. "I didn't used to have a PC back then and people didn't have Internet at the time."
Creadon's decision to have Blicharz be the protagonist in the film was an easy one because of the Pole's passion for gaming and his intimate knowledge of the industry.
Blicharz took over running IEM in 2009 and has steadily grown both its following and its extravagant production values, including filling giant sports stadiums and livestreaming events to millions of people.
"This is an extremely stressful occupation, with the amount of travelling, with the amount of moving elements that are involved with every single event," said Blicharz, who is now 35 and living in Los Angeles with his wife and 2-year-old daughter.
"We're developing IEM every single year, there's something new happening where you have to adapt constantly, because everything around us changes," he said.
Creadon said he intentionally made a movie that would appeal to both gamers and non-gamers, to shed light into a world that's often misunderstood.
"We've made a story that's going to be a defining portrait of eSports at this point in time," he said. "What we really wanted to do was celebrate the passion that these young people have."
He said that the video gaming world is much different than the oft-stereotyped idea of 17-year-olds squirrelling away junk food and playing in their parents' basements.
"It's very much a global story," said Creadon. "It's a very warm and human story. It's a movie about people with a passion to be the best."
To show that passion, the film crew followed several eSports teams including Cloud9 and Team Solomid from the US, Fnatic from Europe and the costume-clad Koo Tigers (formerly GE Tigers) from Korea.
Among the eSports players that they followed was Kai Lam, a Cloud 9 gamer from Michigan who lived with his four team mates in Santa Monica, California. Lam said he and his team mates would play 10 to 15 hours per week.
Lam said that IEM has helped legitimise eSports by creating big tournaments and making pro gaming more accessible to more people. The film, he said, does a good job of showing the excitement and passion of those big events.
"It shed a nice light into the world of professional gaming," Lam explained. "It's really cool for people to see what we do for a living, to show that we're normal people that just want to be the best at what we do."
Due to a chronic wrist injury (a common affliction for gamers), the 22 year-old Lam recently retired from pro eSports competition and is now Cloud 9's new "Chief Gaming Officer" where he'll scout new games and hot players.
For Creadon, who remembers being a 5 year-old kid when American chess prodigy Bobby Fischer beat the Russians in 1972, eSports is becoming a world-wide story with a local appeal. American eSports teams are coming to that tipping point of being viable opponents on a world stage, which is usually dominated by Koreans and Europeans.
He points out that eSports have been featured on the cover of the New York Times three times and that, like televised poker, it's making its way into the mainstream.
"More people watched these kids play video games than watched NFL playoff games or MLB playoffs," said Creadon, who grew up playing games like Pong and Donkey Kong. "It's really fun to watch these kids play and follow in their passion."

In July 2010 the government published a white paper setting out their long term visiion for the NHS. The subsequent bill published in January 2011 aims to put patients at the heart of the NHS, focus on improving outcomes and empower local organisations and professionals.
As a result, all GP practices need to be part of a GP consortium. The consortia have been assigned budgets and be responsible for commissioning the majority of local primary care and hospital services. This work was being done by the primary care trusts which was dissolved in April 2013. Individual practices are not required to take commissioning and financial decisions by themselves. Patients have a stronger say in making decisions about their health and well-being and are more actively involved in commisioning decisions.
Little Venice Medical Centre is proud to have been an active member of the local GP Consortium, Central London Healthcare (CLH), since its formation in 2006. Our Doctors and staff regularly attend meetings and patients from the practice sit on the CLH patient user panel. CLH is a non profit organisation comprising of local NHS practices who work together to deliver high quality primary health care with the ability to commission new community based healthcare services for its 130,000 patients.

Chassis selections for Dover: see the list of many teams and what chassis were selected by the team to run at Dover International Speedway:
MISSING? why are some teams missing? like the #4, #11, #16 or others? those teams do not report what chassis in the race previews or prs.
#1-Jamie McMurray: Crew Chief Kevin "Bono" Manion and the No.1 McDonald's team will bring chassis #1104 to Dover this weekend. This chassis has already been used four times this season, including both races at Michigan International Speedway, both events (The All-Star Race and Coca-Cola 600) at Charlotte Motor Speedway in May.
#2-Brad Keselowski: and the #2 Miller Lite Dodge Charger team will race chassis PRS-748 during Sunday's AAA 400 at Dover International Speedway. Keselowski last raced this chassis to a ninth-place finish in the Brickyard 400 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in July.
#5-Mark Martin: crew chief Lance McGrew has chosen Hendrick Motorsports Chassis No. 5-672 for Sunday's race at Dover. This is the same chassis that Martin has driven four times this season to an average 12th-place finish. Notably, Martin piloted the car twice at Michigan International Speedway, finishing ninth in June and fourth in August.
#6-David Ragan: Primary: RK-744 last ran Bristol and finished 20th. Backup chassis RK-711 last ran Darlington and finished 21st.
#9-Marcos Ambrose: The #9 RPM team has prepared chassis No. 754 for the 400-mile event at Dover International Speedway. This Stanley Ford Fusion has been run previously this season at Martinsvill Speedway the Dover spring race and both Pocono events. Australian Word of the Week: Tea = Supper.
#14-Tony Stewart: Chassis No. 14-564 debuted at Texas in November 2009, where it qualified fourth and finishing sixth. The 2009 season finale at Homestead marked the car's second career start. There, it qualified fifth and led twice for 43 laps before two separate on-track incidents with Juan Pablo Montoya relegated it to a 22nd-place finish. It saw action during the offseason when it was used for a Goodyear tire test at Texas Jan. 19-20. It returned to competition in February at Auto Club Speedway, where it started 16th and finished ninth. It returned to Texas in April where it qualified on the pole and led five times for 74 laps before a late-race accident relegated it to an undeserved 32nd-place finish. It was repaired and fitted with a new body for the series' June stop at Michigan, where it qualified 17th and finished a solid fifth. It sat idle until it returned to Michigan in August, qualifying fourth and leading three times for 36 laps before finishing sixth. The October race at Auto Club marked its seventh career start and second at Fontana, and there it delivered Stewart's 39th career Sprint Cup win and his first at Fontana. The same car returned to action in November at Texas, where it qualified 11th and finished 11th. With a new body honed in the wind tunnel, Chassis No. 14-564 got its first start of 2011 and the ninth of its career at Fontana where it qualifying fifth and leading four times for 11 laps. In the waning laps, however, it dropped from third to 13th after a late-race restart. Its next start came in May at Charlotte in the All-Star Race, where it started sixth and finished fourth. It action in June at Michigan, where it qualified sixth and finishing seventh. Chassis No. 14-564 returned to Michigan in August rallying to ninth after starting 18th. Now the car makes its 13th career start, but first on a track only a mile in length when it rolls off for the AAA 400 this weekend at Dover.
#17-Matt Kenseth: will run primary chassis RK-763 which last run at Pocono, this chassis won the Dover spring race. This weekend, Kenseth will pilot the #17 Crown Royal Ford Fusion.
#18-Kyle Busch: Chassis No. 308 will make its fourth-ever start in Sunday's AAA 400 at Dover International Speedway. No. 308 made its debut in June at Kansas Speedway, where Busch started third and finished 12th. In its most recent start, Busch drove No. 308 to victory lane after starting first in July at the Inaugural Sprint Cup race at Kentucky Speedway. Most recently, this chassis was brought three races ago to Richmond International Raceway, where Busch started 13th and finished a solid sixth.
#22-Kurt Busch and his Steve Addington-led Penske Racing "Double-Deuce" team will be racing their "PRS-758" Shell-Pennzoil Dodge this weekend at Dover. This chassis has been raced only once before; in the August 7 race at Pocono. In that race, Busch qualified fifth and led four times for a total of 38 laps en route to a third-place finish. The race will be remembered most, perhaps, for the exciting last-lap battle for third between Busch and defending series champion Jimmie Johnson. The "PRS-746" (last raced in May's Sprint "All Star" Race at Charlotte) will serve as the backup Dodge Charger this weekend at Dover.
#27-Paul Menard will pilot Chassis No. 351 from the Richard Childress Racing NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stable. This #27 Menards/Pittsburh Paints Chevy was a brand new addition to the RCR fleet for the 2011 season and was last seen in competition at Kansas Speedway (June) where he started ninth and finished 19th. Menard also raced this Chevrolet at Texas Motor Speedway in April where he brought home a fifth-place result after starting from the 19th position.
#29-Kevin Harvick: will race chassis No. 353 from the Richard Childress Racing NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stable. Prior to this weekend the team utilized this #29 Chevy twice in 2011 to score a win in the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway in May and a seventh-place finish at Atlanta Motor Speedway in early September.
#31-Jeff Burton will race chassis No. 359 from the Richard Childress Racing NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stable. Built new for 2011, this is the same Caterpillar Chevy Burton qualified fifth and drove to a 21st-place finish at Charlotte Motor Speedway in May and qualified 22nd and drove to a 19th-place effort at Kentucky Speedway in July.
#33-Clint Bowyer: will pilot chassis No. 350 from the Richard Childress Racing NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stable this weekend at "The Monster Mile." This Chevy, built new in 2011, has seen action three times this season, posting top-15 efforts at Texas Motor Speedway (started-third, finished-second), at the Coca-Cola 600 in May (started-10th, finished-15th) and Michigan International Speedway in June (started-27th, finished-eighth).
#36-Dave Blaney will pilot the No. 910 chassis this weekend. TBR last ran this chassis at Bristol in August. Blaney also drove the chassis at Auto Club Speedway, Texas Motor Speedway, Darlington Raceway and Pocono. He wheeled the chassis to a chassis-high 24th-place finish at Darlington in May.
#42-Juan Pablo Montoya: crew chief Jim Pohlman and the #42 Target team has selected chassis #1003 for the AAA 400 at Dover. This will be the fourth race of 2011 for this chassis, after it was used in both races at Bristol and in the Spring race at Dover. This car also ran five times last year (Charlotte-May, Chicago-July, Atlanta-September, Fontana-October and Texas-November).
#43-A.J. Allmendinger: The #43 RPM team has prepared chassis No.752 for this weekend's event at Dover International Speedway. This Best Buy Ford has been run previously this season at Texas, Charlotte, Indianapolis and Atlanta.
#48-Jimmie Johnson: will drive chassis No. 669 in Sunday's event. He finished second in that car at Michigan International Speedway in August. Johnson finished second in backup chassis No. 650 at Atlanta Motor Speedway in September.
#88-Dale Earnhardt Jr.: Crew chief Steve Letarte and the #88 team will unload Hendrick Motorsports Chassis No. 88-657 this weekend at Dover. Earnhardt most recently raced this chassis to a 16th-place finish at Bristol Motor Speedway in August. Earnhardt also raced this chassis to a second-place finish at Kansas Speedway in June. The car also saw action at Darlington Raceway and Kentucky Speedway.
#99-Carl Edwards: The #99 team will be unloading chassis RK-788 this weekend. This car last raced at Chicago where Edwards finished fourth.

Why post-traumatic stress and chronic pain lands in some people, and not others.
Imagine you have two people who both get into an identical, and minor, fender bender (car accident).
>> Person A walks away with zero post-traumatic stress – no chronic pain, no lasting whiplash, no fear to drive and get back behind the wheel. They go back to their life and resume their good health, like nothing ever happened.
>> Person B however, starts to have massive declines in their physical function – chronic pain becomes their norm, they are afraid to drive, their digestion goes all wonky, their emotions become erratic, depression with minor doses of anxiety plague them. Not even massive amounts of physical therapy, pain clinic visits or even pain meds help them. They feel broken and unfixable.
What do you think is the cause of this difference?
Here's the answer in this new vlog:
Do you know someone who might benefit from this knowledge? If so, I'd love for you to share this post with them — or, share it on your social media accounts to really get the word out.
I believe it's so important for people to understand what's going on inside of themselves, physiologically, so they don't think they're crazy.
(And, people DO believe they're going crazy when no one, not even their doctors, can explain why they're falling apart in both body and mind.)
Thanks for being here and being interested in your nervous system health and healing at this very deep level.
PS. This scenario baffles the medical community and insurance companies: why does Person B go into a downward spiral of chronic and debilitating fear, pain and disability from a car accident that occurred at only five miles per hour?
(Many think, "they must be faking it so they get time off of work" or "it's all in their head, they didn't even need to go to the hospital", etc.)
Watch the video to learn more about what's actually going on under the surface.

Pump it up 2
Today I connected up the pump to the power and tested it with some water from a bottle. It's great and a lot quieter than I thought it would be. I also devised a way of switching the indicators on all together which means Althea now has hazard lights for the first time ever. I'm sure they'll get used.

I just read your entire blog in one go this morning. What fun, I miss your wry sense of humour so this was a good dose.
I just have a normal dodge van, but I've always had a nagging urge to convert it, so far all I have managed is taking the middle row of seats out and throwing my drums and sleeping bag back there. Haha.

WHILST - Everything there was was there Ep - Optimo Music
Compass Point, Muscle Shoals, Sun Studios, Studio One, Cargo Studios, Spaceward Studios : all seminal recording studios. Here in Glasgow we are very fortunate to have Green Door Studio which is a free thinking hub for wild, original creativity and great sounding analogue recordings. Several Optimo Music releases including Golden Teacher were born out of recording sessions there and indeed, this will be the 6th release on Optimo Music to be recorded at Green Door. They deserve credit as my secret A&R division occasionally getting in touch and saying "we think you might like this" which inevitably leads to me scraping my brain off the floor and deciding I have to release it as a record asap. This 5 track EP by Whilst was the latest transmission from Green Door that my ears fell in love with. How to describe it? I have no idea except to say that it is wildly inventive and incredibly free music made by several individuals who are unnervingly young to be making these sounds. They describe themselves as follows -
"Formed originally as a jam-based project in the ever-fertile analogue studio 'Green Door', Whilst jump seamlessly between free jazz, primitive electronics, dubby post-punk, North African and motorik stlyings, underpinning their sound with a strong punk ethos".

Cameron: The Rise Of The New Conservative
by Francis Elliott and James Hanning
342pp, Fourth Estate, £18.99
Eighteen months ago, when David Cameron was an outside bet for the Conservative leadership rather than slight favourite to become prime minister at the next election, the Tory MP John Bercow set out publicly why he thought Cameron was not a good prospect. "In the modern world," Bercow said, "the combination of Eton, hunting, shooting and lunch at White's is not helpful when you are trying to appeal to millions of ordinary people."
Explaining how a Tory with such a background and interests could turn himself into apparently Britain's most modern and most promising politician is an enticing task for a biography. This is the first on Cameron. If he wins in 2009 or 2010, a Blair-sized personal literature may follow. Yet explaining Cameron has its challenges. Most obviously, there is the speed of his recent rise: instant biographies are rarely as revelatory as they promise. But there is also the smooth opaqueness of the man himself, seemingly always composed in public, rarely leaving much of a paper trail. Political biographies, even unauthorised ones such as this, are usually thick with quotes from their subject's speeches and writings from adolescence or young adulthood onwards; here, the first such contribution from Cameron does not comes until he is 36 and the book more than half gone.
The early chapters struggle to find conclusive evidence of his character, or any other interesting patterns, in the years between his birth in 1966 and his graduation from Oxford in 1988. Cameron comes from a wealthy Conservative family, successful in stockbroking and politics for generations. He grew up in Berkshire - "There can be no more quintessentially English country village than Peasemore," write Elliott and Hanning in the slightly awestruck, sales-brochure prose that mars this section of the book - with a family nanny, tennis court and swimming pool. In 1974, as the carpenter's son Edward Heath was clinging on as Conservative leader, Cameron was starting at Prince Andrew and Prince Edward's prep school. In 1979, the year the grocer's daughter Margaret Thatcher became prime minister, Cameron entered Eton. In 1987, now at Oxford, he finally did something of note politically. He "held a party in his college room to celebrate [her] third successive victory".
The Cameron that emerges from these sluggish pages is untroubled, likable, clever, occasionally cunning and ambitious, but "philosophically incurious". Like his family and friends he is a "deeply tribal Tory", but he is not active in student politics, preferring to drink and study hard and charm female undergraduates. Before his finals he applied for jobs in management consultancy and banking.
He did not get them. Shortly afterwards, in the summer of 1988, the deputy director of the revered Conservative Research Department (CRD) received a mysterious phonecall. "The voice announced that it was calling from Buckingham Palace," write Elliott and Hanning. The anonymous caller went on: "I understand that you are to see David Cameron ... I am ringing to tell you that you are about to meet a truly remarkable young man." A few weeks later, Cameron started work at the CRD and began a swift ascent of the party bureaucracy.
The authors do not quite nail the source of the phonecall - Cameron has royal connections both through his family and through Berkshire neighbours - but from this point on the book improves sharply. The authors are both Independent On Sunday journalists and knowledgeable guides to the swamps and thickets of Tory politics since Thatcher. They explain well how Cameron's clear mind and air of calm became rapidly appreciating commodities in the panicky marketplace of Conservative Central Office in the John Major years. By the 1992 election, at 25, Cameron was briefing the prime minister for his daily campaign press conference. Almost alone, Cameron seemed to know how to present the Tory cause to hostile journalists: "Ministers began asking for Cameron by name when a date with the media loomed."
But then the limits of his abilities became apparent. Politics is not solely presentation; as special adviser to the chancellor Norman Lamont after the election, Cameron wrote face-saving speeches but did nothing to challenge the policies that led to the collapse of the pound on Black Wednesday. Now associated with a failure - a failure Labour may one day be keen to remind us of - Cameron's trajectory turned downwards. After a year as a more junior adviser to the home secretary Michael Howard, dissenting from his authoritarian law-and-order initiatives only in private, Cameron stepped away from full-time politics. Between 1994 and 2001 he acted as corporate spin doctor for the television company Carlton Communications.
The authors chronicle the embarrassing blunders and ethical blindspots that tainted his time there. Yet Cameron learned useful things about modern showbiz and the changing Britain outside Westminster. He also missed the Conservatives' worst years, retaining a fresh-faced confidence in the party that would prove useful when the political tide began to turn.
In 2001, he won the safe seat of Witney after its MP Shaun Woodward defected to Labour. Luck, connections, good timing and a fine instinct for exploiting all three - each have marked Cameron's rise. In 2003, his old boss Howard became party leader. In 2005 Howard resigned, and his first choice as successor - revealed here as the younger, then more enthusiastic Conservative moderniser George Osborne - chose not to try for the job.
Cameron then transformed his own leadership chances by boldly deciding, in Elliott and Hanning's words, to "act as if he were already the leader and do and say those things necessary to ... win the general election". Cameron has maintained this level of political chutzpah to startling effect since. The authors never quite explain where he got it from. But people may be combing these pages for clues for quite a while.

After coming under criticism, former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama released a statement on Tuesday condemning the alleged sexual harassment of Harvey Weinstein, The Hill reports.
"Michelle and I have been disgusted by the recent reports about Harvey Weinstein," the statement said. "Any man who demeans and degrades women in such fashion needs to be condemned and held accountable, regardless of wealth or status."
The New York Times broke the story on Friday about the fallen Hollywood mogul. The investigative report said the Oscar-winning producer settled at least eight sexual harassment complaints over the past three decades. Several more alleged victims have come forward since Friday.

Weinstein has been a major donor to Democrats. According to The Hill, he contributed more than $5,000 to Obama for America and more than $66,000 to the Obama Victory Fund in 2012. He also hosted or co-hosted fundraisers for the former president that raked in huge donations.
The producer also raised money for Hillary Clinton and was a major supporter of former President Bill Clinton.
Critics blasted the Obamas and Clintons for their silence after revelations surfaced of Weinstein's alleged sexual misconduct.
Chris Cillizza, writing for CNN, observed on Tuesday that "neither Bill or Hillary Clinton nor Barack Obama has said a single word about the incidents."
He updated his post to note that Hillary Clinton released a statement after his article appeared. In the statement, Clinton said she "was shocked and appalled by the revelations about Harvey Weinstein."

Alexeeff has never seen the movie Shine. In fact, it's
hard for Alexeeff, one of the world's premier amateur pianists,
to understand why the story of a Rachmaninoff-playing prodigy
would be appealing. Yet when Alexeeff plays Colorado Springs'
Louisa Center for Performing Arts, on Feb. 1, he will be marking
another chapter in an improbable, Hollywood-esque story of his
The co-winner
of last year's 2nd Annual Amateur Pianists International grand
prize, Alexeeff could be considered the poster boy for prodigious
musical talent. The son of a Russian father and Irish mother,
he began studying at Toronto's Royal Conservatory at age 6,
immediately demonstrating his virtuosity on the piano.
"He was
obviously considered something of a wunderkind," says promoter
David Sckolnik, and it was clear that Alexeeff's abilities stretched
far beyond technical chops.
tried to interpret things how they should be," recalls Alexeeff,
"I tried to let my personality reveal itself."
their pupil's tremendous stylistic potential, Alexeeff's instructors
forbade him from listening to any professional recordings, hoping
to cultivate his instinctive feel for the instrument. "I still
don't listen to much music," says Alexeeff, "maybe just [Vladimir]
Horowitz and a few others, but definitely no radio." For him,
any music worth hearing must also be worth playing.
His glib
denunciation of fame and his extraordinarily apt playing are
what most separate Alexeeff from his peers. "Will I ever find
a career in this? Probably not," he confesses. "I don't need
a record label or a million dollars."
Yet his highly
energetic, visceral playing style has certainly raised eyebrows.
At last year's Amateur Pianists International Competition, Alexeeff
stunned the audience with an emotionally cathartic performance
of Rachmaninoff, raising the bar ever higher for his competitors.
"The judges were really split," says Sckolnik, "half of them
thought Victor's interpretation was brilliant, and the other
half cared more about technical accuracy."
As it turned
out, Alexeeff wound up sharing the grand prize, which was perfectly
fine with him. "There's just a tremendous joy in playing; that's
all that matters," he says.
As part of
the reward for his brilliant performance, the Amateur Pianists
International is inviting Alexeeff back to Colorado Springs
for a Feb. 1 encore performance. Though it all might have never
happened, says Alexeeff, if not for the patience of a little
insect. While playing his final piece at the competition, a
fly landed on the piano almost unnerving him. "I was hoping
that it didn't land on my hand, because that could have been
a disaster," recalls Alexeeff. Subjected to such a cruel twist
of fate, Alexeeff fell back on his unique philosophical approach
to get him through the piece. "I just tried to find that zone,
and become completely absorbed not even aware what's going on,"
he says. The fly, after all, probably just got close for a better
At home in
California, Alexeeff is hoping his success as an amateur pianist
can pay off, but he's not counting on it. Using his performance
experience as a springboard, Alexeeff is highly involved in
scoring music for commercial use. With the eventual goal of
composing pieces for film and television, he's content to be
utilizing his musical talent in one way or another. "I love
performing and composing, but they are very different concepts.
You have to love doing it for the sake of doing it, not for
any other reason ... it's like flying kites," he says.
For Alexeeff
and his kites, the sky's the limit.

Dear FeynCalc users,
the new commit
to the git repository of FeynCalc introduces a lot of changes to the
structure of FeynCalc that we would like to introduce in details here:
1) You might have been wondering, why FeynCalc must be installed to the
directory "HighEnergyPhysics" and not just "FeynCalc". Well, this used
to be liked that for some legacy reasons but is actually not necessary
nowadays. From now on FeynCalc lives in "FeynCalc" and
it is started simply via "<<FeynCalc`"
2) The internal structure of FeynCalc got completely refactored to
simplify the maintenance and avoid problems with Mathematica's
autocompletion. Before that FeynCalc actually consisted of hundreds of
separate packages (each .m file was a package). Loading that number of
packages in one session was freezing Mathematica's auto-complete. This
should not occur anymore. Now FeynCalc is just one package and all its
objects live in the context HighEnergyPhysics`FeynCalc`. This allows us
to get rid of the (error-prone) tricks with MakeContext and CheckContext
that we had in the source code before. Furthermoe, the directory
structure was adjusted to be compatible with the standard layout in
Wolfram Workbench, which is the state of the art tool to develop large
Mathematica packages.
3) Much of the source code (although not everything yet) is now nicely
4) The directory structure inside HighEnergyPhysics is now organized in
the following way
* "AddOns": small user addons for FeynCalc
* "Database" : contains cached results for user's computations
* "Dirac": tools for Dirac algebra
* "Documentation": contains package documentation
* "Examples": sample computations with FeynCalc that reproduce known
results from the literature
* "ExportImport": tools for exchanging results between FeynCalc and
other tools
* "FeynArts": contains patched FeynArts
* "Feynman" : tools for dealing with S-matrix elements, including
derivation of Feynman rules and computation of the matrix element squared
* "Kernel": related to the way Mathematica loads packages
* "LoopIntegral": tools for loop integrals
* "Lorentz": tools for working with quantities that carry Lorentz
indices and for dealing with the kinematics
* "Misc" : for routines that don't fall into any other category.
* "NonComAlgebra": general functions for non-commutative objects
* "Phi": contains Frederik Orellana's PHI
* "QCD" : tools for QCD OPE calculations (still poorly tested and
* "Shared": general objects (e.g. Pair, DiracGamma, SUNF) and functions
(e.g. FreeQ2, SelectFree, Factor2) that are widely used by other parts
of the FeynCalc code.
* "SUN": tools for SU(N) algebra
* "Tables": database with various analytic expressions
* "Phi": contains TARCER by Rolf Mertig and Rainer Scharf
5) Since FeynCalc now always loads all its .m files, we squashed some
(short) functions into common files. For example, Apart1, Apart2 and
Apart3 now live in Apart.m. This is done to keep the time FeynCalc needs
to load reasonably small.
6) Options parsing in many functions have been improved to use the
modern MMA's OptionsPattern - OptionValue paradigm.
7) The number of unit tests have been increased. Although we are still
far away from the full code coverage, with more than 2700 unit test we
are doing quite good.
8) FeynCalc tabulates many expressions that can be requested by the
user, e.g. Lagrangians. To make it easy for the user to work with these
expressions, FeynCalc returned them with indices and variables in the
Global` context. However this also means that when FeynCalc is loaded,
it puts a lot of objects into the Global` context where they may clash
with user-defined functions. To solve this problem we introduced a new
object: FCGV which is acronym for FeynCalc Global Variable. The syntax
is FCGV[x_String]. From now on, variables that used to be returned as
Global`VariableName will be outputted as FCGV["VariableName"]. You will
nottice them in your expressions as having FCGV around them, i.e.
FCGV["p"] will be displayed as FCGV(p). You can always convert such
objects to "normal" variables via the replacement rule {FCGV[x_String]
:>ToExpression[x]} We understand that this additional step may pose some
inconveniences to you, but from the point of view of Mathematica
programming and interoperability between different packages, this
solution seems to be the cleanest way to avoid troubles in future.
For example, Lagrangian["QCD"] now returns
-(1/4) FieldStrength[FCGV["\[Alpha]"], FCGV["\[Beta]"],
FCGV["a"]].FieldStrength[FCGV["\[Alpha]"], FCGV["\[Beta]"],
instead of
-(1/4) FieldStrength[\[Alpha], \[Beta],
a].FieldStrength[\[Alpha], \[Beta], a]
as it used to be. Now suppose that before invoking Lagrangian["QCD"] you
defined \[Alpha] = 1/137. With the new output using FCGV nothing
changes. With the old output
you would have got
-(1/4) FieldStrength[1/137, \[Beta], a].FieldStrength[1/137, \[Beta], a]
which is clearly not what you want.
9) To circumvent problems related to the patching of FeynArts, from now
on FeynCalc will look for FeynArts only in the directory "FeynArts"
inside "HighEnergyPhysics". Nevertheless, it is still possible to
specify an alternative directory by setting
FeynCalc`$FeynArtsDirectory="path" before loading FeynCalc. The patching

10) The TARCER notebook have been converted into a source file
("TARCER.m"). Furthermore, generated TARCER*.mx files are not
distributed anymore with the source code. When you first try to load
TARCER, a dialog will appear with the suggestion to generate the .mx
file now. This process has to be done only once and takes only a couple
of minutes. After that, the generated .mx will be automatically loaded
whenever you want to use TARCER.
11) Prior to this commit FeynCalc used to switch the format of output
cells to TraditionalForm. Now it will only issue a
warning message suggesting the user to do this by himself or herself.
Such messages can be disabled by setting $FCAdvice to False.
So if you despise all the fancy typesetting and prefer to work with
StandardForm, FeynCalc will respect your decision.
12) To avoid clashes with built-in functions of recent Mathematica
versions, we had to rename
some FeynCalc functions:
PartialD -> FCPartialD
Symmetrize -> FCSymmetrize
AntiSymmetrize -> FCAntiSymmetrize

DescriptionNo longer encumbered by gravity, the Angry Birds flock have taken to the freezing interplanetary void to continue waging their war on egg-stealing pigs. While a constant gravity pulling down plays a major role in the ballistic gameplay of the earlier games in the series, here in a zero-gravity environment it is now orbital interaction with the gravity wells of objects of varying mass that influences the birds' trajectories when they are aimed and propelled forward at their target -- ramshackle shelters of craven egg-guzzling pigs, fit only to be smashed by the debris or the bodies or special powers of astronomical birds. Yes, the birds are all back, but strangely altered for their new, cosmic context, with sci-fi powers like ice and laser beams. The destructive gang of birds rains destruction down upon pigs across 60 new levels, studded with such new set dressing as satellites and mines.

It's also funny when someone requests to be mentioned in your blog. Poor Brandi, she thinks she's going to become famous from Food Beautiful, but that's really only for Lucy.
Pommery Brut Royal, sounds fancy, right? Well, I felt pretty fancy drinking it. I believe champagne should make you feel a bit special. Even when you drink it in your 10-yr old sweats while doing work by the fire. It makes those sweats feel like fancy pants. So here's what the experts say about this bottle:
critical acclaim:
All I know is that this drink was yum! It tasted light but special and all around good. Definitely on the hunt to buy a couple more bottles...you, know so I can put on those 10-yr old sweats, sit by the fire and make the night a little more special!
"Lightly toasty, with a lively bead and flavors of poached pear, dried apricot, brioche and honey. Displays chalkiness without being too angular, and culminates in a lasting, apple-tinged finish."

A sad sight - the demolition of the Regent Cinema
Image reproduced with kind permission of The Royal Pavilion and Museums Brighton and Hove
I remember sitting in a near-empty Regent auditorium one afternoon in the dog days of the summer school holidays, surrounded by opulence, the faint smell of chewing gum filtering up from under the seats, and watching Lawrence of Arabia for the first time. Thank goodness I got to see David Lean's masterpiece in 70mm in such fabulous surroundings. The experience has remained ever since. And how can I forget watching the 'Battle of Britain' as part of a mob of howling, cheering schoolboys.
More poignantly, I have a memory of breaking into the half demolished cinema one evening with a mate from school. The auditorium ceiling was down, as was the roof of the ballroom, but suspended across the void, was this incredible intricate mesh of the sprung ballroom floor. It was like looking up at the inside of a vast mattress. The acrid smell of burnt timber and plaster dust pervaded then, the aroma of chewing gum was a thing of the past. The screen was long gone, and the stage behind revealed, all blackened brick, along with its fly tower; was it ever used?
In the front of house area, revealed by the stripping off of more modern additions, were miraculously surviving glass fronted poster displays for long forgotten films Mary Pickford in 'Pollyanna' and HB Warner in 'The White Dove' were two that I can remember. I bet they did not survive, and I wonder what would they be worth now? The Regent - a pearl in the pig trough cast. And if it had survived, people would flock to it in hordes now.
I saw Lawrence of Arabia in Brighton when on holiday in the 60s, so I suppose it must have been at the Regent, as it was the time of its first release. The Cinema was full, despite being in the afternoon, and a great film it was, too. But I lost interest in the cinema as an entertainment, and have never returned due to hearing difficulties. Judging by the stuff repeated on TV, I don't think I have missed much!
I attended the Saturday Morning Club at the Regent cinema, it must have been around 1948/49. We saw 2 short films and of course Dick Barton Special Agent, with Snowy White his right hand man. Of course we also saw cartoons. I also remember the organist coming up from below and the girls coming around with drinks and a few goodies. I still have my photo taken on stage with the organist and the rest of the children. Greetings from Canada.
If ever there was a case for preserving a building then the Regent was it. Was it really necessary to demolish it? It wasn't done for road widening as the Boots store occupies the same site. It surely could have been converted to a night club or concert venue. I wonder if any artifacts were saved.
The upstairs was turned into a cabaret bar - it was one of the first drag act bars in Brighton in the 1960s. It had a sprung floor for dancing and I remember seeing the Kinks there, that corner sight was the very first Virgin Record Store where you were able to go and listen to the records before you bought them. You could sit on large floor cushions with headphones on. The Hippie days of the 60s
If they ever wanted to rebuild the Regent, I know who has the original plans, they were found in a tiny room behind the main screen, just before its demolition.
I'm sure the Galleon bar was below the cinema. We used to go and watch the drag acts on a friday night - Bunny Lane etc.

General Mills (NYSE:GIS) has been an outperformer on the stock market for the past five years, but that doesn't mean it's been an easy road for the company. New competitors are eating into market share, and international growth isn't going as planned. Still, the company keeps pumping out a strong dividend, which now yields 3%, and with investors looking for safety, the stock seems like a wise pick. But there may be more risk than there appears to be in General Mills' stock.
Financial performance won't impress anyone
You can see below that the last five years haven't been great for General Mills financially. Net income has plunged, primarily because of natural and organic competition and a drop in demand for cereals. The company has made acquisitions like Annie's and Epic to stem the loss in sales, but that strategy could take years to make a big dent in financials.
The risk here is that negative trends continue. And I don't see why they won't. Breakfast cereal isn't the staple it once was, General Mills is having trouble growing internationally, and new organic and natural brands are taking market share. There's not much to indicate that those trends won't continue, and that means flat results may be the best investors can expect.
Is a high stock price deserved?
The factors surrounding General Mills that I've outlined above paint a fairly negative picture of the company. So, why is the stock outperforming the market over the past five years? This chart gives the answer.
General Mills' price to earnings ratio has been climbing as financials have been deteriorating. In an odd twist, investors have given the company a higher valuation while I think it has deserved the opposite.
In the long run, this doesn't make much sense, even for a fairly steady company like General Mills. The company doesn't have a lot of big growth options and will likely see continued pressure on operations as consumer tastes change.
If General Mills stock is going to fall, it'll likely be because that benefit of the doubt the company has gotten from the market evaporates -- and that's why investors should rethink just how safe this stock is. There may be more risk than meets the eye.
