Number 561, March 14, 2010
"The state is death."
Archimedes .45
Attribute to The Libertarian Enterprise
Recently, somebody directed my attention to an article, "Socrates' Gun" by Daniel Johnson on the website of the Salem (Oregon) News, questioning just about every aspect of the character of individuals who make the choice to exercise their unalienable individual, civil, Constitutional, and human right to openly carry personal weapons in public.
For some reason, Mr. Johnson appeared to be particularly upset by a photo he'd come across on a firearms website of people with guns on their hips, enjoying a barbecue in what looked like a park somewhere. He went to great lengths to explain how phony and affectatious they looked to him. To someone who has seen sights like this hundreds of times over the past forty years, it seemed perfectly natural and relaxed.
You can see the photo in his article. He describes one person, wearing a red baseball cap, white cargo shorts, and a polo shirt as "ludicrous". I guess he's never watched CSI or any of its spinoffs, where characters commonly wear plainly visible guns with civilian clothing, including shorts (it's hot in Las Vegas and Miami) and baseball caps. What I'm seeing here is Mr. Johnson's ignorance and bigotry.
What ever happened to multiculturalism?
And maybe just the slightest touch of what the late Jeff Cooper famously called "hoplophobia", an unreasoning, hysterical fear of weapons.
I don't know what Mr. Johnson expected. Given that (A) these folks are going to carry weapons whether it offends his tender sensibilities or not, (B) they are neither GIs nor cops and do not wear uniforms, and (C) local law may actually forbid carrying their weapons concealed (which I'm certain Mr. Johnson would find far more comforting), what else are they supposed to do? How else are they supposed to look? Would it be less offensive if they were wearing tuxedos? Or bib overalls?
Unquestionably the latter. People like Mr. Johnson invariably like to imagine that those who are interested in guns and self-defensenot to mention the Bill of Rights, national sovereignty, and keeping the fruits of their laborsare an unwashed, illiterate rabble, most of whom live in tarpaper shanties somewhere south of the Mason-Dixon Line.
Nothing, of course, could be further from the truth. Survey after survey has shown that the average gun owner is better educated than the average non-owner, has a better-paying job, and I would guess is probably smarter. A startling number of gun owners are professionals. It's likely that your own lawyer, doctor, or dentist owns guns and shoots.
Mr. Johnson seems to have led a rather sheltered life. Most of my friends, neighbors, and acquaintances for forty years have been armed, one way or another. There are just about a hundred million like them in this country. And they are hardly the insular and ingrown group the popular media are fond of portraying. They include the lawyers, doctors, and dentists I mentioned, also artists, teachers, librarians, computer designers and programmers, radio performers, laborers and contractors, veterans and former war protestors, those who are well off, those who are not so well off, those who are well educated, those who are not so well educated. I myself am the author of more than thirty books and a four-time recipient of highest literary award in my field.
Mr. Johnson claims he is not attacking gun owners and carriers, but instead is "trying to show how non-gun people often see the gun aficionados strutting around with their armaments."
Strutting? While it is unquestionably true that armed individuals tend to walk differently than those who are unarmed, it is hardly "strutting". It is simply the upright, unfrightened posture of a free human being, rather than the round-shouldered crouching shuffle of a perpetual victim. Muggers and other violent street criminals tend to avoid individuals who walk as if they were armed. There has even been instruction offered in how to walk that way, even when you are not armed.
Then, apparently believing he's scored a point, he asks, "a fundamental question to which I am still seeking a reasonable answer: Why do ostensibly civilized people feel the need to arm themselves with weapons to kill (when necessary or provoked) their fellow citizens?"
Set aside the fact that he's answered his own question with that parenthetical phrase, Mr. Johnson and I are of about the same age. How can he forget the skyrocketing crime rates of the 60s, when one person in three was statistically certain to become a victim of violent crime? How can he forget billions of dollars and thousands of cops that were thrown at the problem to absolutely no effect? How can he forget the news conferences politicians conducted, congratulating themselves and attempting to claim credit whenever the crime rate dropped a percent or twoclearly within the statistical noiseor the silence when it went back up again the next day? How can he forget movies like Dirty Harry and Death Wish which, most likely contrary to the intentions of their creators, inspired a generation to arm themselves against violent crime and bring those numbers down in double digits, no matter how much the authorities disapproved, blustered, and threatened?
"Like almost all Canadians," Mr. Johnson says, "Brits, Europeans and citizens of many other nations, I don't believe that walking around with a gun in a holster is a socially positive act. I'm trying to understand the mentality of the armed American." He asks for our comments to provide further insight, but rushes to offer his own, instead.
"I see gun-carrying as a form of paranoiathe whole world is potentially out to get me. Even though they are probably a tiny minority, they all look alike and I can't tell them apart," he tells us.
Ignoring the perjorative "paranoia" and the way this statement contradicts itself ("the whole world" versus "a tiny minority") it contains a particle of truth. A gun is exactly like a fire extinguisher: you never know when you might need it. Your whole life may pass without using it. But it is better to have one and not need it than to need one and not have it. Is it paranoid to own a fire extinguisher?
"By carrying a gun, people believe they are exercising their freedom when, in fact, they are losing some of their freedom. They are," he says, "letting their fear of criminals dictate how they live their lives."
Only somebody who doesn't carry a gun would spout nonsense like this. Personal weapons range in weight from a few ounces to a couple of pounds. Some can be slipped in a pocket and all but forgotten before they're needed. For the rest, various means of carry have been invented over the centuries to make it comfortable and convenient. That accomplished, who's afraid, here, and whose way of life is being dictated?
Only the criminal's.
"They are also saying civilized society does not work. Each citizen must look after their [sic] own safety."
What utter fatuous nonsense. Civilized society works best precisely when each individual looks after his or her own safety. That's the way it is. That's the way it has always been. That's why civilization began to break down in the 60s, when people were conned into believing they could rely on the police (who, according to the courts, have no legal obligation to protect us). And it's why, despite all of the troubles we're going through now, our civilization will survive.
"Why," Mr. Johnson suggests, apparently believing that he's being absurd in order to make a devastating point, "aren't gun-carriers pushing for the disbandment of police forces across the nation? At a time when the economy is in such parlous condition, the savings to the taxpayers would run into the tens of billions of dollars," he concludes.
Indeed they would. And speaking only for myself, I have suggested for years that municipalities be forbidden to maintain police forces. In the first place, experience demonstrates that they don't do any good. Given something like the War on Drugs, or their proclivity for executing innocents on the street, they actually make things worse. Their pretense of investigating themselves is joke. Far better to rely on county sheriffs' departments that are more directly responsible to voters and usually see their jobs as making sure the right person got shot.
But Mr. Johnson presses on disingenuously, despite his myriad of protestations to the contrary: "I am really trying to understand what is behind the gun mentality. You don't see citizens in Canada, the UK or the EC pushing for gun ownership ... Only in the U.S. does this phenomenon exist. But perhaps," he winks, "I am missing the obvious pointcompared to other developed nations, perhaps the U.S. is that scary."
I'd say to Mr. Johnson that before you can ask an honest question, you have to learn how to ask the question honestly. I was prepared to believe in his sincerity until that crack about America being "scary". The true situation is very different than people have been led to believe.
First and foremost, the only "scary" parts of America are inner cities that have been under the exclusive control of people just like Mr. Johnsonleft wing socialistsfor generations. If you excise those cores from your statistics, you will discover the magnitude of a lie that has been told about America, to America, by its own media for decades. A lie even vaster than Social Security or Global Warming. Excluding those inner cities, we are the most peaceful, productive, prosperous, progressive, and best armed culture in the history of mankind.
And little old Vermont, which lets you carry any gun you want, any way you want, for "any lawful purpose" has the lowest crime rate of all.
Of course socialist governments lie all the time, about everything. For decades, socialist Britain lied about their supposedly minimal violent crime rate, particularly with regard to IRA-related eventsshuffling each occurrence of crime from one category to another, wherever it would look best for public consumptionuntil the widespread weapons prohibition following Dunblane drove the rate up so high it could no longer be ignored or lied about. Much the same thing happened in socialist Australia after Port Arthur. It is almost certain that Mr. Johnson's socialist government in Canada is lying to him.
And for what it's worth, Canada passed a gun registration law a decade or so ago, and its people, especially in the west, told the government to bugger off. Chagrined politicos are in the process of repealing it right now, so it won't remain an embarrassment to its advocates.
In closing, Mr. Johnson feels compelled to quote Socrates, rather patronizingly, about the unexamined life not being worth living, as if gun owners and self-defense advocates hadn't ever bothered to sit down and think out their position. "Perhaps," he suggests, "it's time for pro-gun people to seriously examine why they believe what they believe."
Instead of Socrates (who meekly swallowed poison at the behest of the white belts and plaid polyester pants of the Athens Junior Chamber of Commerce) he should think about Archimedes of Syracuse. Interrupted by a Roman dogface who was part of an invading force, he absently told the thug, "Go away, I'm working," and the thug shish-kebabbed him with a gladius. If Archimedes had owned a .45or his own gladiushe could have surprised the Italian interloper, and we might be another thousand years further advanced as a result of discoveries he made afterward.
But as usual, I digress.
Thanks to individuals like Mr. Johnson who seem unable to observe the objective reality of the world all around them or to draw rational conclusions, and who appear incapable even of reading the clear, simple wording of the Bill of Rights, we defenders of freedom have been forced by relentless political persecution to examine and reexamine our principles every single day for at least the past fifty years.
Those who hold to these principles have suffered more than half a century of ideological water torture: a steady drip, drip, drip of bigoted and ignorant editorial opinion, selective and dishonest reporting, propaganda-filled "entertainment" programming, and constant political attacks from the very entities, politicians, bureaucrats, policemen, from whom the Second Amendment was written to protect usand who, therefore, have no legitimate right to participate in the debate.
Our principles have endured, because, unlike whatever it is that moves and guides our social and political opponents, they are drawn from objective reality and constructed in an unassailably logical manner.
To a manand a womanthose Mr. Johnson calls "ludicrous" are perfectly comfortable wearing a gun on their hip or under their armpit, and there is nothing of affectation about it, but rather necessity and familiarity. Anything else he think he sees here lives in his own head, and not in the real world. For two million years it has been natural and human to be armed, strange and perverse not to be. An armed individual is a free individual. Anyone to whom weapons are prohibitedand who obeys the prohibitionis a serf. Like almost all Canadians, Brits, Europeans and citizens of many other nations.
Many people have admitted that the idea that their neighbors may own and carry guns frightens them. I always reply that their fear does not constitute a mortgage on my rights. Similarly, Mr. Johnson's objections to open carry are essentially aesthetic in nature, and his sensibilities in that connection give him no right to put limits on others. In the end, I doesn't matter what he believes. He has nothing to say about anything I do, unless I initiate physical force against him.
Let's return to that barbarous barbecue for a moment. A handgun doesn't make it that much easier to kill another person. That's not the point. There are a dozen other things that people bring to picnics that might be used to kill; Trevanian showed us in his novel Shibumi how to kill a man with a drinking straw. Handguns make it easier to defend yourself, which is a very different thing. They also make it possible for women, children, and the elderly to defend themselves no matter how big and strong their attacker may be. And this is bad because ... ?
And here's the paradox: cultures that encourage the means of self-defense seldom need them. Despite movie mythology, the American west was so crime-free we still remember the names of individual criminals. Cultures that suppress the means to self-defense become snakepits. Once again, I refer the reader to Britain and Australia which now have the highest violent crime rates in their respective hemispheres.
In the end, Mr. Johnson assures us that he only wants to make the world a better place. I say that civilized people arm themselves because, as Robert A. Heinlein put it, "An armed society is a polite society." It's worth noting that it's also, by and large, a classless society.
So if Mr. Johnson wants a better world, he can start by getting a gun.

Scuba Steve Zissou
Available from Socialfabrik
About the T Shirt...
New T shirt from SocialFabrik features 'Scuba Steve Zissou' by Derek Eads, an illustrator, movie buff & Bill Murray fanatic from Indiana, USA.
Derek explains his inspiration behind the Tshirt design..
"There's no one more fun to draw than Bill Murray, particularly the character Steve Zissou. He perfectly captures Bill's sad clown personality. It was a joy to be commissioned by Socialfabrik, mutual fans of the legend himself, to illustrate Zissou for a new t-shirt.
I always start by rewatching the source material when approaching a design, looking for new references and inspiration. I wanted to do something using the blue and yellow color scheme seen throughout the film, which meant ditching the iconic red beanie. And what better substitute than his rabbit ear helmet used for piping in music?
I usually include a quote with this style but felt the quietness of the character surrounded by waves worked best. The little lightning bolts coming out of the antenna are a nod to the many Bowie songs featured in the film. Another influence on the design was the framed painting of Zissou in scuba gear seen early in the film.
It's great when a client trusts you to do your best work and believes in your vision. That's how I felt working with Socialfabrik."
Derek's work is inspired by his love of pop culture, especially the iconic roles of actors. He has produced a large amount of illustrations featuring the various characters Bill Murray has portrayed as well as the likes of Steve Martin, Owen Wilson, Johnny Depp, Sylvester Stallone and many, many more. His obsession has manifested itself again with 'Scuba Steve Zissou', a design that features Bill Murray as the eponymous oceanographer from the Wes Anderson classic movie 'The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou'. This artwork sees him depicted in his scuba gear, about to embark on his search for the elusive Jaguar Shark that ate his best friend Esteban.
Based in Manchester, England, Socialfabrik offers graphic tees & other miscellaneous illustrated goodies like greetings cards and patches. The brand strives to create products that combine exclusive, original art & design with quality, well made products. In addition to creating designs in-house, Socialfabrik has collaborated with artists, illustrators & designers both locally and from around the world. Notable contributing artists have included Manchester-based illustrators Stanley Chow, Ben Lamb & Hammo, Bosnian artist Boris Pelcer and Rotterdam-based muralist Ready2Rumbl.

Little Gerhard In New York
As a rule I don't like to publish the backs of postcards, but my German is just too week to try and translate this message myself. Limited to one term in college, almost forty years ago, I can make out Dear Mother and Dear Father, something left behind in Hamburg(?), the Zeppelin seen flying over New York. If any actual German speakers would like to leave a reliable translation in the comments section, have at it.
I was able to find Gerhard Hansen's obituary in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. He was born September 30, 1921 in Flensburg, Germany. His parents were Hans and Frieda Hansen. He arrived in the United States when he was five years old, so 1926 or 1927. He would have been fourteen when he sent this postcard to his parents in Wickliffe, Ohio. After his military service, presumably in World War 2, he became a math teacher, married and fathered several children. He died on May 10, 2011.
Scant information on a life that lasted 89 years. I'd love to know why Hans and Frieda took their young son to the United States in the mid twenties. After World War 1, Germany went through a period of economic disruption, including a period of hyper-inflation. And of course, that led to the rise of a number of fringe political parties including the Nazi party. Were Hans and Frieda just looking for a better life, or were they political and saw the hand writing on the wall, and got out while it was still possible? Perhaps they were right wingers who flirted with the German American Bund. I'd love to know. And what about Gerhard himself? Had he made a visit back to Germany? Was he returning through New York? If so, was he happy to be back in the USA, or did he long for the Germany of his early childhood? And what about his military service? As a German speaker, he could have been in military intelligence, translating documents and interrogating prisoners, or he could have been just another grunt. I'd love to know.
The RMS Queen Mary made her first voyage in 1936, the year this post card was mailed. She was built at the John Brown & Company ship yard in Clydebank, Scotland. Her first captain was Edgar Britten, seen on the card. Her owners were The Cunard White Star Line. In 1940, The Queen Mary was requisitioned by the British government for use as a troop transport. She was returned to her owners in 1946, and resumed the north Atlantic run in 1947. By the late 1950s, few people were using ocean liners to cross the Atlantic. Jet airliners had become the favored means of travel between the United States and Europe. The Queen Mary's last voyage was in 1967. Put up for sale, the city of Long Beach, California outbid a scrap yard. The ship has been used as a floating hotel and tourist attraction ever since. In her final few years of service, the crew would often out number the passengers.
Interesting story about how the Queen Mary got it's name. The ship's owners wanted to name it the Victoria. As a courtesy, they approached King George V to ask his permission. "Your majesty, we'd like your permission to name our newest liner after England's greatest queen." "My wife," he replied, "would be delighted." I have no idea whether the story is true or not, but it's a good one.

Mercury poisoning in Kodaikanal, a hill station 530 kms from Chennai, due to dumping of toxic waste by Unilever's now-shut thermometer factory is one of the the most infamous cases of shirking of corporate social responsibility in India.
Chennai-based activist-rapper Sofia Ashraf's resounding message that 'Kodaikanal won't step down' to Unilever's negligence created waves across the world. When Sofia sang about the issues in to the tune of Nicki Minaj's Anaconda, it got over three million likes on YouTube and the video went viral on social media.
The viral video had such an impact that Hindustan Unilever finally bowed down and agreed to compensate 591 ex-mercury factory workers.
But the battle isn't done yet for Sofia and the activist, who have been fighting the battle against mercury poisoning in Kodaikanal for over 15 years.
Despite the compensation given to the employees, Sofia's asserts that the ecologically sensitive area around Kodaikanal hasn't been cleaned up to acceptable standards by Polman and co. and that they have released 'independent reports' and they've worked hand in glove with the Central Pollution Control Board to shirk away responsibility. Not only did he skirt around the issue of cleaning up the thermometer factory, he also went on to ridicule the work of the activists, stating that the issue had to be dealt with 'facts, not false emotions'.
Working actively solution kodai #UnileverPollutes for several years already Determined to solve.Need others too and facts not false emotions
— Paul Polman (@PaulPolman) August 6, 2015
This tweet and Unilever's lacklustre treatment of the ecology in Kodaikanal motivated Sofia to post another video, this time without rapping, to give Polman 'the facts' that he didn't seem to get the memo about.
In the video, Sofia mixes satire, analogies and little bit of Rajinikanth to make her point. With this point Sofia ensure that Kodaikanal truly won't step down.
In the video, she explains why the Central Pollution Control Board's (CPCB) proposal to clean the mercury contamination in Kodaikanal to level of 20 mg/kg was not up to par. Besides being toxic for residents, it also continues to cause damage to the ecologically sensitive Pambar Shola forest area.
To put it in perspective, she compares the CPCB verdict to the United Kingdom soil guideline value for residential areas, which puts the limit at 1 mg/kg!
Sofia concludes that the public record on Unilever's mercury contamination in Kodaikanal leaves more to be desired. To ensure that the company's contamination is cleaned-up to a high standard, Sofia, along with campaigning organisation Jhatkaa, have devised an online petition for India's Environment Minister Anil Madhav Dave.

In the sentence, "Socrates is a human", the subject refers to an individual and the predicate refers to the universal "humanity", over and above any individual human. "Humanity" is an abstract; it doesn't refer to any concrete individual but rather to the concept of "being human." For Aquinas, universals are not just in our minds but are quite real. Unlike Plato's famous theory of Forms, however, he doesn't think they exist in a third ghostly realm. He thinks they just exist in the things themselves. The humanity of Socrates exists in Socrates himself.
II. Potentiality and Actuality
Things change: rivers flow, trees grow, people are born and die. Change in involves the switch from potential to actual. A seed is actually a seed and potentially a tree. When it becomes a tree, the potentiality becomes actuality. Most things around us are a mix of potential and actual. Something cannot be just potential with no actuality, as this is a logical contradiction. E.g., you can't have a potential tree that is not also an actual seed. However, there is no contradiction in the idea of something that is just actual.
III. Matter and Form
The normal objects of our experience consist of a composite of form and matter. They can't be broken down any more than that composite. So for example, Rex would consist of matter + the form of dog. There is no such thing as "just matter" with no form, because even a single quark has the form of: one quark.
IV. Essence and Existence
The "essence" of something is that list of properties that make it the thing it is rather than some other thing. The essence of a triangle, for example, is to have three sides (among others). If it didn't have that, it just wouldn't be a triangle. "Existence" is whether the thing actually exists or not. For most things in our experience, existence and essence are separate. I.e., existence is not included in the essence of most things.
V. Four Causes
To get a complete description of something, you need to know four aspects of it: what it's made of (material cause), the structure it takes (formal cause), what brought it into existence (efficient cause), and what it does (final cause).
VI. Potential and Actual Applies Across the Board
The potential/actual distinction applies across the entire Thomistic metaphysical system. Matter is potential, and when conjoined with form it becomes actual. Essence is potential, and when conjoined with existence it is actual.

New Penguin-FAIL-Times Newspaper Look!
Oh boy did Club Penguin change it alright! It's now only a double sided newspaper.
Well, how do you guys like it?
I think it's... crammed all together, messy, barely any pictures, plain, uninteresting, and not fun to read!
I see what Club Penguin was going for, a more real-life look of the newspaper, but we're not lovin' it!
Sorry Club Penguin, but us kids can't read font that's barely see-able!
Well... I hope I can somewhat get used to it... what are your thoughts?

Hey Cena, it's Sludge. I don't have trouble reading the font, but I really have to agree that it is much less interesting to read.I get that they were trying to make it look cooler but everything looks crammed together so that it's tough to focus on one part of it.ReplyDelete

That's actually not bad, Cena. It is crammed, but it's still a little cool. It'll take getting used to, but at least it's not in the small font REAL newspapers have, or at least it's in color. You are right though. I was hoping for something with more "WOW" written on it, not "FAIL", which it is.ReplyDelete
- Chantelle09 (Penguin Name)November 19, 2010 at 5:09 PM
I agree with you Cena . I DO NOT like it at all!!ReplyDelete

Now wheres my EPIC FAIL stamp...
Hello Cena,ReplyDelete
It's very sad because they use to have more pages, puzzles, more pictures, and that know that they have the newspaper coming out on Friday's. I thought that they are trying ton tell you before it comes. Are they gonna start parties on Saturdays? I agree you don;t have to to be eco-Friendly its just a Virtual World.
I think that the new Newspaper is awesome! I love it!! Can you come to my next CP Party? The info will be on My website!ReplyDelete

Hey Cena,ReplyDelete
I thought I'd tell about this cool glitch.
If you go to one of the long places on cp then walk to the end of the place walk across the place open the newspaper. As soon as you open the news close it. Your penguin should be sliding across the place!
I call it the moon slide.
I say, the new newspaper is just too boring to read now. The old one was more interesting and had comic and art page with better joke page side and stuff. This new newspaper really stinks. I didn't liked it when I first saw it, I was like "what in the world did club penguin did to their newspaper?"ReplyDelete

They changed the look because they knew penguins will love more DETAILS about the main story not just like two sentences about the story also you guys are old enough to know that pictures arnt always needed and if you can read a Harry Potter book you can live with this newspaper. Club Penguin team is tryin their hardest to keep you guys happy so BE happy. Do you know how hard they work? I think the newspaper is awesome and more complex and better than the last one. Thank you clubpenguin team for all the work you have done. Waddle on you guys rock btw.

In this golf game, which features hazards such as sand traps, a pond, and trees, creating the hole can be as much fun as playing it.
What you'll need
Small box (ours is a tea box)
Small plastic tub (we used an empty cream cheese tub with a drinking straw flag taped inside)
Assorted hazards (a plastic plate full of salt for a sandtrap, a pie tin with water for a pond, small potted plants for trees)
How to make it
1. SETUP: Place the tea box – the tee – at one end of the table, the plastic tub – the cup – at the other end and strategically locate the hazards between them. We outlined our hole with a rope boundary.
2. HOW TO PLAY: Tee off by squeezing a quarter between your thumbs, setting your hands on the tee box,and flipping the quarter toward the cup, as shown. As with real golf, you want to get your "ball" in the cube in the fewest "strokes." But because your ball can roll beyond the rope (out of bounds) or off the table, playing conservatively is the best strategy. Players continue flipping from where the coins land, with the person farthest from the hole going first.
3. REF SAYS: If your ball lands in a hazard, you get one penalty stroke (place your ball beside it for your next shot). If it lands out of bounds, you get two penalty strokes (move it just inside the rope). If it lands off the table, you get three penalty strokes and must tee off again.

Our respected aikido instructors
Steve Dows Sensei (6th dan) – Head Dojo Instructor.
Ben Tan Sensei (4th dan) – Ben sensei's classes allows students to brush up on their weapons kata (jo and bokken) as well as having a good variation of aikido techniques taken from the grading syallabus. Saturday morning classes are taught by Ben sensei who is also the Nathan dojo cho (head instructor).
Erwin Fielt Sensei (3rd dan) – Erwin sensei started Aikido with the Dutch Aikikai Foundation (following the line of Christian Tissier Shihan) in the Netherlands in 2003. He joined Aikido Yuishinkai in 2009, when he moved to Australia. His main interests are in a solid grounding of Aikido based on understanding its key principles. In his classes he likes to explore the many different aspects and variations of a technique. Erwin sensei takes the Tuesday class alternating with Ben sensei.
Narelle Campbell Sensei (2nd dan) – Narelle sensei is a great example for young women in martial arts and clearly demonstrates that size and strength are not necessary for effective technique. Narelle sensei also takes the Thursday class.
Christopher Cobban (2nd dan) has been a regular member of Griffith Aikido for quite some time. While not a regular teacher, he generally assists in teaching beginners as well as teaching the occasional class when another instructor is absent. If you start training at Nathan, chances are you will be training with him through the beginner sessions, preparing you for the regular classes.
"I strive to be fun, engaging and approachable in my classes. I look forward to meeting you and helping you begin your training!"

Project description
This drawing will be at the footer of my website. It will be a progression from Monkey to modern man, regarding bathroom use and the final man who now uses a water cleaning device after going to the bathroom. I have included an example of the style I am looking for, file name "Footer example", but please no stick drawings like you see in the drawing of small people. The background color would be RBG 51, 51, 51 or #333333, but I would also like the choice of having it on a off white or white background too. What I an not looking for is drawings of people sitting on a toilet, wiping or squatting going to the bathroom. This is a list of progression ideas for you to start with. The Monkey would start on the left ending with the modern man on the right. 1. Monkey/Ape 2. Caveman/Homoerectus scratching his head 3. Neanderthal holding leaf with a confused look on his face. 4. 250 years ago man holding corncob with pain on his face. 5. 100 years ago man holding newspaper with yikes look on his face. 6. Modern man holding a roll of toilet with some of the paper hanging down, with a sad look on his face. 7. Today's modern man holding a Remote with a smart look and big smile on his face. That image name is "remote". Please be creative and keep it fun and let me know if you have any questions. If you would like to learn about this device, please look at the image called "Device".
first submission in the contest... #1... please do review it... thanks
I like your work, but not exactly what I am looking for. The corn should be Just the cob and no leafs (this is what they used to use for wiping) and this person should be someone from about 250 years ago and most likely had a full beard, not a cave man. The news paper is for wiping, not reading, but don't show someone wiping, this guy was from about 100 years ago and could have a mustache and or goatee. I don't care for too many round heads and maybe the last guy is the only one that has his arm up. Remember the background will be the RBG color 51, 51, 51 and looking more like line drawing with some detail in the Footer example file and the same drawing that I can use in a white background too. Thank you for you hard work and please let me know if you have any questions. You can Google "what did people look like or wear 250 years ago" that might be helpful.
When considering this job, please make sure to look at the file name "Footer example", this is the style of work that I need, more like a line drawing that will go over a darker background RBG color 51, 51, 51, but I also need a darker one to place over a lighter background, same drawing but a different color. I am on a deadline and need to get this done soon, so please enter you work now and I will choose the one I like before the contest ends. I am happy to answer any questions and looking forward to your work!
please have a view of my entry ( spadechennai ) and express ur views !
hey mike. i've made the changes you asked for in #7. let me know what you think needs to be done..
you copied entry 1 http://www.designcontest.com/other-design/httpwww.bidet-toilet-seat.com/entry/7
Looking great! I guess I should have done this last night! I uploaded a file named HoldingRemote.png that shows how I would like the girl holding the Remote, so this away, the remote is more obvious. Keep the size of the remote the same as the first drawing you did and don't use the image of the remote, but draw it out with just enough detail so it looks like a remote. And please open her eyes, but not bulging like before. This is my finale request and I will pick your work today. Question: Are you going to send me a Photoshop PSD file when done and please make sure the images are separated from the background with both B&W and Color. Thank you very much and you do great work.
Thanks - no prob on the changes. Will have revision posted before the contest closing... I can send you the images however you like (PSD with layers, vector art EPS, etc.) Just let me know size and specs.
I am ready to end this contest, so please go ahead and I will choose your work. Thanks, Mike
Okay I ended the contest. Please provide larges file size in a PSD and EPS vector separated from the background. Thanks and let me know if you have any questions. I have Photo and illustrator, so I can reduce the file size myself
I really like your work and would like to see a few changes and then I will choose your work. Thanks for making the images in color and black and white. Have the monkey have his right hand reaching to his backside, everything else stays the same. The caveman looks good but remove the leaf and have him smelling his hand with a YUCK look on his face and not standing so straight. This is supposed to be a total of 7, so in-between the caveman and the corncob guy, add a neanderthal (more modern looking caveman) holding a leaf with a confused look on his face. He will be taller than the caveman but not as tall as the corncob guy. Standing a little straighter. The guy holding the news paper, have him holding half of the news paper with print in his left hand and tearing it with his right hand already holding several strips of torn newspaper. The girl, make her eyes different so she does not look dumb like the guy next to her with a really happy look on her face and make the remote a tad bit bigger with all of it exposed with more detail, looking like the image I provide. Looking forward to seeing your work :-)
Thanks! I will upload a new pencil sketch so we can get the details right before another render.
Please disregard this message.
#9 think this fits? i can get some colour in it if you want to :D
I just joined and plan to submit before the contest closes... any objection to the final person being a woman? Could be a good counter to the modern man with teepee. Plus I would imagine women are way more likely to invest in your product (and talk their husbands into it) ;)

The extras mentioned in the box let you construct a T-34 from a variety of regions of the Soviet Union and different stages of the War. From early war, right up till the end of World War 2. The kit is easy to build with few fiddly pieces and is good for beginning modelers and wargamers. The instructions are well laid out and easy to follow and the folks at Rubicon went the extra mile and identified the different options available in the kit, like the turrets, muzzles and rear hatches for those of us who are a little less knowledgeable about the history of the T-34 but would still like to get a period accurate tank. This saves me from embarrassing reproaches from neckbeards on how the rear hatch of my T-34 is from the wrong era of the war from the Stalingrad factory chisel muzzle. The tracks are worth mentioning as they come in one piece which make them a dream to assemble. They also can be built with either the early war steel wheel option or the later war rubber wheels.
I found Rubicon's T-34 to be a great kit. But if you are a stickler for lots of detail it is worth mentioning that the detail of the tracks might disappoint. They did seem to lack the finer link detail of other kits and I have included a photo to illustrate the point. The Rubicon T-34 tracks are on the right compared to a different companies T-34 tracks on the left. Now for me, this isn't a problem as I model primarily for war gaming but it is worth mentioning.
The model is designed with the war gamer in mind and once built, I found it to be very sturdy and capable of withstanding the abuse table-top miniatures are routinely exposed to. Gaming can be rough on my models and I prefer a model that can stand up to the abuse. That is not to say that the model is lacking in detail. It is a very well detailed tank but the detail pieces are not fragile like a display models would be.
Have any experience with these new Rubicon kits? Tell us about it on the forum!

Visits to national parks inspire people to plan another trip, to tell their friends about their experience, and often, to ask how they can help. We love that!
There are a number of ways that you can help support the work of the National Park Service as it endeavors to provide opportunities for Americans and travelers from around the world to learn about the significance of the Pony Express National Historic Trail, and protect and preserve the historic remnants of the trail.You can:
- Volunteer (information about volunteering with the National Park Service and the Volunteer Application form)
- Partner with the NPS - there are a number of partnership associations with strong interests in promoting awareness the trail as well as marking and preserving the historic trail route(s) that we would encourage you to seek out if you have a desire to lend your support.
- Do your part
- Revitalize your community
The National Park Service, for the most part, does not own or manage the lands the Pony Express NHT crosses over. Therefore, we rely heavily on the work and the efforts of our many partner organizations to accomplish our mission. Please be sure to visit our Partners page to see how you might become involved.

Crazy Sam : Up-Close & Personal!Labels: csb cover specials 12 comments
Crazy Sam's Bloginess: I noticed that all your books however old they are, still looks brand new! You buy and then don't read them at all?
Crazy Sam: I do read them. But I'm quite neurotic when it comes to keeping them look good. Well.. the Sam 10 years younger used to be completely opposite, you would never have guessed those pages once belonged to a book. Then this sudden craze for preserving them look new hit me and there was no turning back.
CSB: I definitely gotta ask you this. Is it true that you don't hug people?
Sam: I don't have anything against hugging. In fact I so wish to hug and be hugged. But something in me always tries to stop me. May be I feel insecure. It's weird, I know. I guess I might have a wider personal space and may be more concerned than Americans.
CSB: This should have caused you worries during your dates.
Sam: Can't call them as dates. But yes, panic attacks were plenty!
CSB: You used to have a phobia towards long-haired guys.
Sam: Yes, I did. As much I knew this was all too silly, I couldn't help feeling that way. In the end, I too grew the hair. That's how I got rid of the fear. Now whenever I see any long-haired guy I would say in my mind, "Hmm.. he thinks he can scare me with his long hair, but does he know that I too had that once? Huh! And he is flaunting it as if no one else has!"
CSB: What's that one place you are so dieing hard to be?
Sam: Amsterdam! I heard that everything about sex is legal there. It's not like I wish to have wild orgies or anything, but the thought of possibility excites me. Plus those Ammie boys are really cute!
get hansy-pansy and this guy finds it uncanny and opts to take refuge on the floor. Next question!!
CSB: Sheesh!! Oops! uh.. OK, so have you ever had feelings for a gal?
Sam: Yes, during my higher secondary. But I didn't have the nerve to tell her, so I told one of my classmates about this and the whole god damn school came to know! And as an epilogue, that's when I received the info that another gal was having crush on me. I was quite surprised to know that revelation! Finally when the dust settled, I ended up having neither of them.
Please note that this does not mean that I am bi, coz now I am pretty sure where I stand.
CSB: Whoa! That could've been quite a shocker for your mother.
Sam: Yeah, it still gives me shivers when I think about it.
CSB: Finally, who all are your porn star crushes?
Sam: Haha! Lukas Ridgestone definitely. He has got an amazing body, drool worthy ahem.. and a butt to die for! And I could just melt in those blue eyes!! I find Michael Lucas hot too and some of those guys from Randy Blue and Sean Cody.
CSB: Would you accept the offer if you get a chance to do with them?
Sam: NooOO!! I'm a well-raised guy, you think I would do something like that??
CSB: Well.. er.. yeah.
Sam: You are friggin' right! I would grab that offer within the blink of an eye! Funny that you had to even ask that!

Located at the northern most point of Singapore, Sembawang's name is said to be derived from the tree of that name & in the early twentieth century it was the site of the Nee Soon Rubber estate. Far removed from this bucolic past, it became home to the British Royal Naval Base in the build up of Singapore's defences before WW2. Construction of the Base began in 1928 and was completed in 1938 & it included dockyards, wharves and workshops, as well as supporting administrative, residential and commercial areas; in effect, almost a self contained town.
After independence, the Naval Base was handed over to the Singapore government, which in 1968 converted it into a commercial dockyard. But the splendid old Black & White houses built for senior Naval personnel remain, and it is they which draw us up North, along with gems like Beaulieu House, pictured above, which was built around 1910 for a family called David. Sitting right next to one of the country's last natural beaches, it's a perfect place for our refreshments stop.
Come and tread a nostalgic path with Bruce (who served with the Australian Navy at the Base in the late 1960s) and Jane (who went to children's parties at the Base in the early 1960s!) as we visit the old Admiral's House, plus 2 wonderful Black & Whites in Kings Avenue, one of which has the famous Japanese bridge in its garden - see photo below - as well as Beaulieu House and some other special hidden places where time really does seem to have stood still!

- I have not participated in the Have the Cake Challenge in a few months, but when I saw it was pumpkin themed, I had to do it! I love this time of year with the pumpkin recipes and Halloween themed goodies!
I found this recipe on the Very Best Baking website. They have such yummy looking stuff.
My granddaughter, Samantha had spent the night after the whole family watched the original "Halloween"movie. The next morning, I asked if she wanted to help make cupcakes and she yelled "YES!" I think she was excited! She loves to bake with Grammy. My daughter and the rest of her family came over later. She and her son, Austin helped to decorate the cupcakes. I think for the decorating, I put orange food coloring in the icing and helped spread on. The two of them did the rest.
The recipe was easy to do. The chocolate and pumpkin blended great together and it was not too much a pumpkin flavor, just enough.
Frightfully Delicious Chocolate Cupcakes
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate morsels
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 12/ cups sugar
1 cup canned pumpkin (libby's 100% pure pumpkin)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup milk
3 large eggs
1-16 oz container prepared white frosting
Halloween decorations
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 12/ cups sugar
1 cup canned pumpkin (libby's 100% pure pumpkin)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup milk
3 large eggs
1-16 oz container prepared white frosting
Halloween decorations
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Paper-line 20 muffin cups
Microwave 1 cup morsels in small, uncovered, microwave-safe bowl on HIGH for 1 minute; stir. If necessary, microwave additional 10-15 second intervals just until morsels are melted.
Combine flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Beat sugar, pumpkin, oil, milk and eggs in larger mixer bowl until smooth. Beat in melted chocolate. Stir in flour mixture. Spoon into prepared muffin cups, filling 2/3 full.
Bake for 22-27 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in centers comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes; removed to racks to cool completely. Frost cupcakes and decorate.
My daughter, Kelly, decorated these.

All you cheesecake fans will love this recipe, says Arlene from Carrickfergus Cookery School, Carrick YMCA.
You will love the light and creamy cheesecake mix, which is assembled in a sundae glass with tangy, poached rhubarb and crumbly shortbread, but it is the rhubarb syrup drizzled over the top which makes this dish so yummy.
Cheesecake in a glass with rhubarb syrup
(Makes 8 glasses)
50g butter
200g shortbread biscuits
350ml double cream
150g caster sugar
250g mascarpone cheese
300g soft cream cheese
Finely grated zest of 1 orange
1 capful vanilla extract
For the rhubarb topping:
450g rhubarb
150g caster sugar
Grated zest of ½ orange
1. Melt the butter in a small pan. Crush the biscuits to fine crumbsand stir them into the melted butter and set aside to cool.
2. Whisk the double cream with the caster sugar until thick, takingcare not to overbeat.
3. Place the mascarpone, cream cheese, orange zest and vanilla in abowl and beat together and add the whipped cream.
4. Add about 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture to each glass and sprinkle over 1/3 of the crumbs. Repeat this twice, ending with a sprinkling of crumbs. Refrigerate for 1 hour. (cling film the glasses if refrigerating for longer.)
5. Cut the washed rhubarb into 3c.m lengths and place in a pan with the sugar and orange zest and 4 tablespoons of water. Simmer very gently for about 20 minutes or until tender.
6. Drain the rhubarb from the syrup and set aside. Boil the remaining syrup over a high heat for 4-5 minutes until reduced and bubbling.
When you have about 150 ml left, remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
7. Place a spoonful of rhubarb on top of each glass, then spoon over the rhubarb syrup. Delicious!

Run! started out as simply a 3D modeling test, and evolved into much more. The train itself, as well as it's track, and traffic light were completely modeled in 3D, and lit/colored in Photoshop. The rest of the image was matte-painted over the course of a day or so.
This was more of a personal satisfaction motive, as an image I've always daydreamed about; a ravenous, mystical train coming full speed towards the unknown.

A severed black cat's paw, with the bone sticking out.
Upon activation, one of Isaac's heart containers (if any) will be replaced by 3 Soul Hearts. (In Eternal Editon it only gives you 2 soul hearts)
Consuming your final Heart Container will not kill Isaac.
The paw removes full hearts first, leaving you with at least a half normal heart before the rest of your heart containers are used up.
If used with half a normal heart remaining, the player can convert their hearts quickly, effectively tripling their health. This is especially useful against the final bosses. (Mom, Mom's Heart/It Lives!, Satan, Isaac, and ???.)
- Can be instantly reused with a very brief (less than 1 second) cooldown.
- Does nothing for ???.
- Using this item with the extra heart container from the Strength Tarot Card will provide 3 Soul Hearts, but another heart container will be removed upon exiting the room. If this is done while using only spirit hearts (besides the one heart container from Strength), the next heart container item will do nothing.
- This also applies for the Liberty Cap trinket.
- This is one of the items required to transform Isaac into Guppy. Picking it up and leaving it will still allow Isaac to transform into Guppy after collecting 2 other Guppy-related items.
- Lucky Foot, PHD - Provides a higher chance of obtaining Health Up pills, which can be immediately consumed via Guppy's Paw.
- The Polaroid - Since the paw can turn your current character into a pseudo ???, it works well with The Polaroid once you use up all of your Heart Containers/get down to a half-heart, as the shield will always activate upon being hit. If you plan on surviving on only spirit hearts it can be a good idea to hold onto Guppy's Paw, converting more HP upgrades you come across into soul hearts.
- Whore Of Babylon - Allows Isaac to permanently stay in a cursed state for only having Soul Hearts.
- Dead Cat - Dead Cat synergises well, as the player can effectively begin each new life as a pseudo ??? by using Guppy's Paw on their single heart container.
- Converter - gives you the opportunity to get 10 hearts and a soul heart. You have to find one of them while carrying the other
- The item seems to be based on the Monkey's Paw. This comes from the legend that the Monkey's Paw grants three wishes and a disaster happens to you, while Guppy's Paw grants three spirit hearts and you lose a container heart. Their names are also similar and both are the paw of an animal.

Not a regular cookie baker in Arizona Dec 21, 2007
Would make this again.
Being my 1st time making cookies from scrath the recipe is easy to follow however the dough was very gooey, IMPOSSIBLE to roll and use cookie cutters. Being the resourceful person I am, I used cookie cutters after the cookies were cooked. I felt the taste was good but not as great as other reviews stated. My husband liked them more than I did. :) 4 stars
A cookie baker in San Francisco Dec 19, 2007
Would make this again.
These cookies were easy and fantastic! The hardest part was shelling and chopping the pistachios, and that was more time consuming than hard. This is going to become my annual Christmas cookie. 5 stars
A cookie baker Dec 10, 2007
Would make this again.
These cookies are GREAT. I will make them every year. 5 stars
A cookie baker in california Dec 16, 2006
Would make this again.
Recipe is easy. Rolling and cutting is a pain in the butt! Cutouts were hard to get off the board. I tried everything. I ended up rolling in a log and slicing like a refrigerator cookie. The taste is totally worth it!
What's with the 18? It makes a lot. Would make again. My adult kids loved them. 5 stars
A cookie baker in Denver Sep 29, 2006
Would make this again.
I've made these cookies twice, and while I, personally, thought they were just okay, they were a big hit at both parties( with young and old). You do get a lot of cookies and I used the icing to just pipe a letter or design rather than coat the whole cookie. 5 stars
A cookie baker in Bozrah Aug 2, 2005
Would make this again.
These are fabulous cookies. They have become a staple in my cookie repertoire and are actually requested by various people I know. Who would have thought that my search to do something with my pistachios would yield such a keeper? 5 stars
A cookie baker in Canada Mar 17, 2005
Would not make this again.
The cookie is easy to make. There is no way that you screw it up. I did not want to use the icing and I just decorated the cookies with powered pistachio. It looked very very nice, however, there is not much aroma and taste and the cookie becomes somewhat crunch. I recommand that you add more lemon grind or ground cardmon, if you chose not to use the icing. It is better for your health to eliminate the icing. The cookie has enough sugar and butter. 5 stars
A cookie baker in North Vancouver Dec 14, 2004
Would make this again.
These cookies are awesome. I used a tiny tiny shot glass as my cookie cutter so the cookies were only about the size of a nickle. Then I used one of those decorating bags to put a little rosebud of icing on the top. Everyone loved them. My only issue was shelling and crushing the pistachios...I couldn't find any already shelled and crushed, so I did it myself, what a hassle! But really, this recipe is worth the effort! 5 stars
A cookie baker in Seattle Oct 14, 2003
Would make this again.
These cookies are fabulous. They got my attention because I've been interested in citrus type desserts recently. I'm now totally addicted, I've made them about 4 times now. Everyone I've brought them to loved them. killer, killer good. if you like lime & pistachio, these cookies are the bomb! 5 stars
Renee in Noank, CT Dec 26, 2002
Would make this again.
I didn't especially care for these cookies although my family cleared the plate and asked for the recipe. If I made them again I would try making them as drop cookies rather that rolling out the dough and using cutters. I would also decrease the quanity of pistachios to 3/4 of a cup. It just seemed like a little too much, but the lime frosting was excellent. 3 stars

My first season of New York Fashion Week was great. I am glad I got to experience the Lincoln Center before fashion week moved. It's rumored to move over to the west side, but I'm not sure. Regardless, it won't be the same! For fashion week, I tried to break out of my daily uniform. Keep in mind, NY weather is insanely cold, most days I don't even want to step out of the apartment! Of course, I still kept my 6 layers, but it still didn't seem to be enough.
