Rental Property Insurance
If you have homeowners insurance, you may be inclined to think your home is completely covered in the case of a fire.
If you're living in your own home – it will.
But, if you're renting out a house, think again.
Dwelling fire insurance is specifically designed to protect landlords from losing rental income lost as a result of a fire. In most cases, this coverage will provide you with a year's worth of rental income, allowing you the time and resources to rebuild and rent.
Contact 123 Insurance Agency today to find out more about dwelling fire insurance.

"Sin, Death, and Hell have set their Marks on Him"
Tuesday, February 5th, 2013The bones of Richard III, Shakespeare's greatest villain and the last King of England to be killed in battle have been discovered and identified by DNA testing:
….There were cheers when Richard Buckley, lead archaeologist on the hunt for the king's body, finally announced that the university team was convinced "beyond reasonable doubt" that it had found the last Plantagenet king, bent by scoliosis of the spine, and twisted further to fit into a hastily dug hole in Grey Friars church, which was slightly too small to hold his body.
But by then it was clear the evidence was overwhelming, as the scientists who carried out the DNA tests, those who created the computer-imaging technology to peer on to and into the bones in raking detail, the genealogists who found a distant descendant with matching DNA, and the academics who scoured contemporary texts for accounts of the king's death and burial, outlined their findings.
….Richard died at Bosworth on 22 August 1485, the last English king to fall in battle, and the researchers revealed how for the first time. There was an audible intake of breath as a slide came up showing the base of his skull sliced off by one terrible blow, believed to be from a halberd, a fearsome medieval battle weapon with a razor-sharp iron axe blade weighing about two kilos, mounted on a wooden pole, which was swung at Richard at very close range. The blade probably penetrated several centimetres into his brain and, said the human bones expert Jo Appleby, he would have been unconscious at once and dead almost as soon.

The injury appears to confirm contemporary accounts that he died in close combat in the thick of the battle and unhorsed – as in the great despairing cry Shakespeare gives him: "A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse!"
Richard III, usurper and probable regicide of his nephew the boy King, was the last truly medieval King of England. Had Richard lived to rule, his reign would have been characterized by the same bloody uprisings and civil strife that marked the War of the Roses. England was fortunate in his successor who had bested him in battle, Henry Tudor who became King Henry VII was an energetic and far seeing monarch who restored a war-wracked and bankrupt England to peace and fiscal health and set the foundations of the modern United Kingdom and the future world-spanning British Empire. It was Henry who started the Royal Navy and curtailed the ability of the nobility to wage war as they pleased with large private armies, by taxing them for each man at arms, thus ending bastard feudalism ; recalcitrant rebels were executed and justices of the peace established in every shire to enforce the law of the realm rather than the corrupt whims of manorial courts.
Richard III has his devoted fans as well his detractors. Except for his impatient ruthlessness, Richard probably was little worse, morally speaking, than his fellow medieval monarchs in an age when brutality and the rule of the strong was the norm. However, unlike the brilliant Henry, Richard would have done little to improve the situation and might have made life in England more savagely violent.

This is an excerpt from Complete Conditioning for Rugby by Paul Pook.
During the past few years technology has started to play an increasingly important role in the search for the competitive edge and for optimising player management. This section describes a few examples of what is being used and what may become prevalent in the future.
Global Positioning Systems (GPS)
The concept of GPS has been around for a while, but only during the past two years has its use become prevalent in rugby. The purpose is to scrutinise matches and training sessions to better understand the type and intensity of movements that players are being exposed to, allowing coaches to better understand the demands of training so they can plan sessions that specifically address the demands of the game.
Key Point
Some coaches like the big brother concept of GPS, whereby players know they are being monitored and work harder as a result.
The great benefit of using GPS units during training is the ability to accurately monitor players' training effort, push players to an optimal level of work duration and intensity, and simulate match scenarios.
The benefits of GPS are maximised when teams are provided dispensation by the International Rugby Board (IRB) to wear the units during matches. This is already happening in the English Premiership, where a joint venture between Chester University and the RFU is generating fascinating data on the demands of the game. This is allowing coaches, medical professionals and sport scientists to fine-tune preparation and injury prevention strategies. Players are also keen to see how far and how fast they have run.
Player Monitoring and Management Software
The increasing amount and variety of data that teams are collecting have led to the creation of software packages and websites that examine these data. For example, at www.rugbytrain.com, players enter well-being data such as sleep quality, injury history and perceived energy levels plus training and game load feedback. Coaches and players can access these data at the press of a button to review player status, monitor the effects of training and predict the chances of injury. The system also facilitates the creation of communication pathways for managing training schedules and caters to virtual coaching (e.g., sending important updates and individual player messages).
Body Composition
The assessment of body fat via skinfold measurement is useful but is often subject to measurement error. A gold standard for assessing body composition analysis is dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). This system separates the body into fat, bone and lean mass while also calculating data about the arms and legs.
A major benefit of DXA is its ability to measure lean mass and the differences between limbs. Players can set targets for fat loss and muscle gain, and DXA scans can be used to assess their progress.
DXA scans can be used to compare measures between the start and end of pre-season, thereby assessing the effect of this phase of concentrated complete conditioning on body composition. Another key question answerable via DXA scanning is how the in-season phase of the year affects player body composition. As competition takes priority and players are exposed to greater levels of physical contact, it is important to ascertain whether they are experiencing significant losses in muscle mass.
Virtual Reality
Virtual reality is fast becoming a way to enhance complete conditioning by creating realistic simulations of a rugby environment with audio, tactile and other forms of feedback.
The CAVE (Cave Automatic Virtual Environment) is an advanced system for immersive virtual reality that was developed at the University of Michigan. Researchers and coaches are using the CAVE to simulate the American football stadium environment and exposing players to specific aspects of a game to enhance visual perception (e.g., estimate distances, enhance awareness of other players and speed up reactions). In the future, rugby teams likely will employ this type of technology as well.
Portable Testing Devices
Accurately measuring the health and fitness of players to determine whether they are ready to train or peak for performance are gold dust to coaches. This knowledge can also enhance player longevity, which is high on the agenda given the increasing injury rates and demands of the sport.
One device that has been used for such measurement is the Omegawave Sport Technology System. This system monitors the function of multiple biological systems and provides a comprehensive picture of changes in athletes as they respond to training, life choices and emotional stress. The assessments are non-invasive, are mostly done at rest and can be performed anywhere in as little as two minutes. As a result, athletes can be tested as often as desired.
The Omegawave system is based on a deep scientific understanding of human responses to physical and mental stress. It assesses the functional state of the organs and systems (cardiovascular, metabolic, neurohumoral, neuromuscular and sensorimotor) that either define or limit physical work capacity.
The system generates a report that identifies any limiting factors that may need to be taken into consideration when planning the day's training activities. It is also helpful for determining the cumulative effect of past workouts.

San Jose, California-Following an oversubscribed and successful pre-ICO last month, Gameflip, the veteran Silicon Valley gaming marketplace, has officially launched its highly-anticipated ICO.
Crypto and global media have been buzzing about Gameflip, which has been highlighted as a prime example of a successful Silicon Valley startup turned ICO.
Gameflip's digital goods marketplace has 2+ million gamers with millions of USD in transactions each month. With FLIP, its digital token and ecosystem, Gameflip is extending its proven marketplace onto the blockchain – creating significant value for gamers and game publishers.
The Gameflip ICO is now live and will run through January 29, 2018, accepting ETH contributions. Given the early pre-sale success, the ICO has a targeted goal of 15,000 ETH for the duration of the sale, with a trigger to end the sale 72 hours after reaching 30,000 ETH. –
Minimum contributions for the campaign will be 0.1 ETH with no maximum purchase amount. Bonuses will start at 25% and stagger down to 15% and 10% for later contributions, incentivizing early FLIP supporters to invest earlier in the ICO.
One way Gameflip stand out from other ICOs is with its focus on game publishers. Gameflip has reserved 40% of the total supply of FLIPs to incentivize publishers by allowing them to sell these FLIPs to their community and keep up to 100% of the proceeds. Gamers will also be incentivized by having access to a liquid marketplace that is safe, transparent and reliable.
"Publishers are the key to success in this market. Our competitors are trying to build marketplaces on the blockchain without an established platform behind them, an experienced team among them, or an outward focus on publishers guiding them – and that's simply impossible", said JT Nguyen, CEO of Gameflip.
Gameflip's publisher-centric model is the product of decades of combined experience in the gaming industry. Prior to founding Gameflip, the company's core team built the global games publishing business Aeria Games from the ground up, cultivating a community of 40 million gamers.
"The Gameflip team is excited to hit the ground running in this ICO. We have built out an amazing community of FLIP supporters, beyond our existing user base, that are passionate about gaming and creating a better gaming experience for everyone transacting digitally", added JT Nguyen.
Gameflip will use the ICO proceeds to extend its already successful digital goods marketplace onto the blockchain and to onboard a handful of innovative publishers in a beta period before proceeding with top global publishers. The additional capital, together with the company's existing financing from Silicon Valley VC firms, will let Gameflip quickly scale and expand its platform.

text: How profitable were foreign investments in plantation agriculture in the Netherlands Indies during the late colonial era? We use a new dataset of monthly quoted stock prices and dividends of international companies at the Brussels stock exchange to estimate the returns to investment in tropical agriculture (1919–1938). We adopt the Dimson–March–Staunton method to compute real geometric annual average rates of return and assess our estimates in an international comparative perspective. We find that returns to colonial FDI in the Netherlands Indies during 1919–1928 were impressive (14.3 %), being almost 3 percentage points higher than the world average. In the following decade 1929–1938 fortunes reversed, with a rate of return of -2.8 % compared to a world average of 2.2 %. Over the entire period the returns to colonial FDI (5.4 % in 1919–1938) were about a factor 2.5 higher than returns to investment in the Dutch domestic economy (2.1 % in 1920–1939). We argue that these returns should be interpreted in a colonial context of systematic labour repression, but that they may also partly reflect a higher risk-premium of investments in colonial commodities.

Gameloft announces Asphalt 8 and 14 more games for Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 [Updated]
As mobile Xbox gamers probably know, Halfbrick recently released a new version of Fruit Ninja and Square Enix's Chaos Rings became available to all Windows Phone 8 users last week. Beyond that however, we aren't aware of too many game developers with plans to support Xbox Windows Phone in the future. Microsoft has been dark on the subject all year, and nobody else is really talking…
Nobody except Gameloft, that is. Last year, the publisher announced 12 Xbox Windows Phone 8 games – 10 of which have launched so far. Today Gameloft has reaffirmed its commitment to mobile Windows platforms by promising 15 more games for Windows Phone and Windows 8! Only four new Windows Phone games have actually been revealed, but it's exciting news regardless… especially for Windows 8, which will be seeing much more support from Gameloft in the near future.
Head past the break for exclusive details on today's announcement!
Coming to Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 in 2013
As I just mentioned, Gameloft has largely been cool towards Windows 8 since the tablet and PC OS launched last year. The publisher has released only one game so far: physics puzzler Shark Dash. Arcade racer Asphalt 7: Heat is due out this month as well. After that, the 15 games in the announcement will follow.
News of those games coming to Windows Phone and Windows 8 would be great enough on its own, but it doesn't stop there. Gameloft also promised that several of the announced games will feature cross-platform multiplayer between phone and tablet! We don't know if Play/Pause/Resume support via cloud saves is on the table, but let's hope so. And let's also hope that hit MMORPG Order & Chaos Online makes its way to Windows 8 with cross-platform multiplayer. Dare we dream?
Asphalt 8: Airborne
Previous series entry Asphalt 7 made a huge splash on Windows Phone 8 for a variety of reasons. One, it was the first game for the platform to feature 3D impressive graphics and real-time online multiplayer. Two, it cost only a buck, ensuring a large online player base. And three, Asphalt 7 is one of the fastest, most intense racing games on Windows Phone.
Thankfully we'll be getting the sequel as well, presumably with cross-platform multiplayer between Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8. Asphalt 8 boasts the best mobile racing graphics yet, with new particle effects including dust, snow, and rain. That's right, weather effects – and they will impact car handling. A new physics engine promises to provide more realistic handling to boot.

All the latest news, reviews, and guides for Windows and Xbox diehards.
Asphalt 8 is set to include 8 brand new tracks and one returning track from the last game: Monaco. Online multiplayer returns with two new game types: Gate Drift and Infected. Multiplayer won't be limited to real-time, either; this one adds asynchronous multiplayer to the mix. Asphalt 8 won't be a sim-style racer, but it certainly should entertain arcade racing fans (like me!) for hours on end.
Despicable Me: Minion Rush
On top of cloning popular console and PC games, Gameloft also produces some quality licensed titles. Amazing Spider-Man, Dark Knight Rises, and Ice Age Village were all good-great games. Despicable Me: Minion Rush should maintain that same pedigree when it comes later this year.
As the name implies, Minion Rush is a 3D endless running game similar to Temple Run. It will be the first Xbox-enabled game of its kind on Windows Phone. Players will control one of the Cheeto-like Minions from the animated films as he dashes through the city and former supervillain Gru's lab. Any good endless runner needs long-term goals to complete, and this one brings plenty. It promises tons of costumes and weapons to unlock and over 300 missions to complete.
Minion Rush has already been downloaded over 50 million times on other platforms. Let's see how Windows Phone and Windows 8 can add to that tally. It will of course be free.
Dungeon Hunter 4
Windows Phone and Windows 8 aren't exactly overflowing with action-RPGs; only The Harvest comes to mind. Soon the latest entry in the popular Dungeon Hunter series will take care of that problem. Players will take on the roles of amnesiac warriors who are forced to defend their kingdom from a demonic invasion. Think of it as a mobile clone of Diablo.
On top of a strong story and four playable classes, Dungeon Hunter 4 boasts strong combat, item crafting, and character customization. But most exciting of all are the four-player online co-op and PvP modes. This one should certainly give Order & Chaos Online players something to do while they wait for the next content update.
Dungeon Hunter 4 will be free to play. That's mostly a good thing, especially as far as creating a large online player base. Expect more than a few encouragements to purchase premium currency though.
Total Conquest
This one is a clone of Clash of Clans, a popular iOS city building/RTS game that has yet to arrive to arrive on Windows platforms. It takes place during Roman times. Players must build and fortify their own city, populating it with citizens and gathering resources.
Unlike your average city building game, this one also has a strong focus on combat. You can hire a variety of warriors to join your army and then take them out to raid other villages. The combat happens in real-time, allowing players to direct their army in the heat of battle. Total Conquest should be a hit with history and strategy buffs.
Six Guns
We already knew Six Guns would be coming to Windows Phone 8. In fact, I've played the Windows Phone version and can testify to its greatness. The news today is that Six Guns will arrive on Windows 8 as well!
Six Guns closely resembles popular Wild West open-world console game Red Dead Redemption. You'll play as a gunslinger who takes on missions for the citizens of frontier towns. The West is vast, so thankfully you can call a horse to ride at any time. A map and radar will aid in navigating those distances as well.
The combat will be easy for gamers accustomed to using a virtual stick and buttons. Auto-aim makes targeting a snap, and you can also lean against objects for cover. You won't just be fighting NPC banditos, either. Like the game that inspired it, Six Guns has a full online multiplayer mode.
Six Guns will be free to play when it arrives on Windows platforms
Kingdoms & Lords
Again, Kingdoms & Lords was already announced for Windows Phone 8 and will now be coming to Windows 8 too.
This game resembles Total Conquest in that it blends city building with combat. But Kingdoms & Lords is a less serious, more mainstream game. The graphics are much cuter and medieval themed; and the combat resembles an RPG more than an RTS. It also has some social elements like challenging friends or coming to their aid when called.
Like most of the games announced today, Kingdoms & Lords will be free to play.
UNO & Friends
Were you disappointed that UNO & Friends for Windows Phone can't play against other versions of the game? Well, now that it's coming to Windows 8 we should have even more players to compete against.
UNO & Friends is a free online multiplayer version of the popular card game. Check out our recent review of the Windows Phone 8 version and you'll know what to expect from the tablet/PC game. Hopefully Gameloft adds chat to both versions by the time the Windows 8 game rolls around!
Bright time ahead
Gameloft promised 15 new games for both Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8, but today they only revealed the seven titles above. The other eight games will arrive in 2014.
Gameloft informed us today that most of these games will NOT be Xbox enabled. We'll have more details very soon.

Statement by Counsellor Mr. Li Yang from the Chinese Delegation on the Issue of Nuclear Disarmament and Reduction of the Risks of Nuclear War at the Third Session of the Preparatory Committee for the 2010 Review Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons |
2009-05-06 18:40 |
New York, 6 May 2009 Mr. Chairman, The complete prohibition and thorough destruction of nuclear weapons and elimination of the threat of nuclear war is the common aspiration of the international society. China is pleased to note that since the beginning of this round of review process, the call for the realization of a nuclear- weapon-free world has enjoyed broad support and response. This has been in conformity with China's longstanding position of the complete prohibition and thorough destruction of nuclear weapons. Mr. Chairman, The thirteen practical steps on nuclear disarmament which were adopted in the 2000 Review Conference are still of great relevance. These principles, including "maintaining international strategic balance and stability" and "undiminished security for all" are conducive to realizing the goal of nuclear disarmament. China advocates that the international society should continue to make the following efforts to promote the nuclear disarmament process. 1. To foster a cooperative and stable international security environment, and promote global strategic stability, in order to lay a good foundation for the advancement of nuclear disarmament. 2. All nuclear-weapon states should commit themselves unequivocally to complete prohibition and thorough destruction of nuclear weapons. In this respect, they should negotiate and conclude an international legal instrument at an early date. 3. Nuclear disarmament should abide by the principle of fairness, justice, gradual reduction and downward balance. The related measures should be guided by the principles of "promoting international strategic balance and stability" and "undiminished security for all". 4. Two countries possessing the largest nuclear arsenals bear special and primary responsibility for nuclear disarmament. They should implement the current nuclear weapons reduction treaties in good faith and further cut their nuclear arsenals drastically in a verifiable and irreversible manner, in order to create conditions for the ultimate comprehensive and thorough nuclear disarmament. In this regard, China welcomes the launch of negotiations on a new bilateral nuclear disarmament treaty between the United States and the Russian Federation. 5. Pending the achievement of complete prohibition and thorough destruction of nuclear weapons, the most realistic intermediate nuclear disarmament measures are for nuclear-weapon states to undertake unequivocally not to be the first to use nuclear weapons at any time and under any circumstances, and not to use or threaten to use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear-weapon states or nuclear-weapon-free zones unconditionally, and conclude an international legal instrument in this respect. 6. To reduce the role of nuclear weapons in national security policy, abandon the nuclear deterrent policy based on the first use of nuclear weapons as well as the policy of reducing the threshold to use nuclear weapons. 7. To stop research and development of new types of nuclear weapons. 8. All reduced nuclear weapons shall be destroyed. 9. Do not target any nuclear weapons against any other countries, and do not list any other countries as nuclear strike targets. 10. Those countries that have deployed nuclear weapons abroad should withdraw all their nuclear weapons to their own territories, and forfeit the practice of nuclear umbrella and nuclear sharing policy. It should be pointed out that the global ballistic missile defense program will undermine international strategic balance and stability. It is detrimental to international and regional security, as well as the nuclear disarmament process. Meanwhile, the prevention of an arms race in outer space and nuclear disarmament efforts are mutually reinforcing. The progress in the field of PAROS is not only conducive to preserving security in outer space, but also to the promotion of strategic mutual trust among different countries, thus will create favorable conditions for the advancement of nuclear disarmament. In this respect, China advocates that the Conference on Disarmament shall negotiate and conclude at an early date a treaty on the prevention of the deployment of weapons in outer space, and prohibition of threat or use of force against outer space objects. China believes that we should reach consensus on above mentioned measures in the next year's Review Conference. Mr. Chairman, China has long actively supported international nuclear disarmament efforts, fulfilled its nuclear disarmament obligations in good faith, and make important contributions in its own way to promote nuclear disarmament. 1. China is firmly committed to the policy of no-first-use of nuclear weapons at any time and under any circumstances. China also undertakes unconditionally not to use or threaten to use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear-weapon states or nuclear-weapon-free zones. 2. China adheres to a self-defensive nuclear strategy. China never and will not ever participate in nuclear arms race. China has never deployed nuclear weapons in any other countries. 3. China supports the early entry into force of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty and will continue to make efforts to this ends. China will maintain its moratorium on nuclear tests. China actively supports and takes part in the preparatory work of the CTBTO. China has completed the building of eighty percent of its CTBTO stations. China's National Data Center has been connected to the international Data Center. China will hold an international NDC seminar with CTBTO in Beijing this month. 4. China supports the negotiations on a non-discriminatory, multilateral, effectively and internationally verifiable Fissile Materials Cut-Off Treaty. The Conference on Disarmament should start FMCT negotiations at an early date on the basis of an agreed Programme of Work. 5. China has signed and ratified relevant Protocols of the Treaty for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons in Latin America and the Caribbean, the African Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone Treaty, and the South Pacific Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone Treaty. China has reached consensus with ASEAN on the issues concerning the protocol of the Treaty on the Southeast Asia Nuclear Weapon Free Zone, and is willing to sign the protocol when it is open for signature. China supports the efforts of the five Central Asian countries to establish a nuclear-weapon-free zone in the region and welcomes the entry into force of the Treaty on a Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone in Central Asia. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. |

A Pact With Death? Why the Christian Worldview Matters
Jenni Murray has made her pact with death. The popular and controversial presenter of "Woman's Hour," a popular program on the BBC, stated her views on a recent television program called "Don't Get Me Started," broadcast in Great Britain.
Murray, who is a member of the Order of the British Empire, announced on the program that she had entered into a "suicide pact" with two friends who agreed to kill each other if illness or incapacity should leave them unable to commit suicide.
"When my time comes I want to be able to decide about my destiny," Murray stated, offering her own "personal rant" about the issues of euthanasia, assisted suicide, and mercy killing. Murray's two friends, Sally Feldman and Jane Wilton, discussed how they came to this conclusion and then agreed to seal their pact with a formal document of agreement.
As the friends discussed their plans to end each other's lives, Feldman told Murray that she would be willing to help her die only if she were suffering extreme pain or had "lost her marbles." According to The Times [London], Murray, Feldman, and Wilton discussed possible methods of bringing about death such as "injections or smothering one another with a pillow."
In delivering her "personal rant" Murray complained that assisted suicide is illegal in Great Britain only because it is demanded by a "religious minority" who hold to outdated views concerning the value of human life. Furthermore, this "religious minority" also holds to the quaint belief that children have a moral obligation to care for elderly parents.
Murray began her argument by suggesting that she did not want to be a burden to her own two children as she reaches advanced years. Nevertheless, she shocked her television audience by suggesting that she does not want to be "trapped" into caring for her own mother who is currently ill with Parkinson's disease.
In response to controversy, a BBC spokesperson said: "Jenni is angry that, having fought so hard to become liberated and independent, woman are now being trapped into caring for dependent parents."
Without doubt, this dimension of Murray's argument–and the revealing statement released by the BBC–demonstrates the true nature of her pact with death. It is not just about ending her own life, but the obligation of others to die and get out of the way, lest they interfere with her own life plans.
Increasingly, arguments for "assisted suicide" and euthanasia are moving from claims of a supposed "right" to die to an obligation to die. The argument reflects the fact that, according to its proponents, an inordinate percentage of medical costs are directed towards the end stages of terminal diseases and the final years of life. With a rapidly aging population, the escalation of these costs is a fact that must be faced by all advanced societies.
Beyond this, the developing argument for a "duty to die" moves directly toward the concerns of Jenni Murray–concerns related to lifestyle issues and the question of whether there is any obligation to care for dependent parents.
Controversies over assisted suicide and euthanasia are now raging on both sides of the Atlantic. Of course, there are plenty of intellectuals and professional bioethicists ready to help make the case for a right or obligation to end one's life.
In Great Britain, the most significant of these advocates is Mary Warnock, one of Britain's most influential philosophers and, since 1985, Baroness Warnock of Weeke.
Warnock first came to international attention when she served as chair of the official British committee that established the basic framework for rules on in vitro fertilization in 1984. Now, after establishing herself as a major secular figure pushing the limits of modern morality, she has turned to the question of euthanasia and suicide.
In an interview published in Philosophy Now, Baroness Warnock declares that "it is high time that people spoke honestly about assisted dying." In her view, the law ought to be changed so that persons can gain legal assistance in committing suicide. "What horrifies me most is that people, mostly old people, who are not competent anymore, are just allowed to wither away," she stated. "Nobody has any policy about this at all; it just happens."
Of course, there is a current policy–a policy that declares assisted suicide to be illegal. Speaking of herself, Baroness Warnock revealed that she would rather commit suicide than die in a "very slow process."
In her own words: "I simply couldn't bear to get into the position where my children began to feel, 'Oh God, I think we better go and see her.' I couldn't bear it. And I see no point in living if one were ga-ga. I wouldn't want to. One way or another I'd much rather die."
For a woman whose academic work is marked by specificity and careful argument, this is particularly slippery. What is the medical definition of "ga-ga?"
Apparently, Baroness Warnock is, at least for now, ready to let individuals decide if they are burdens or not. But, she concedes that some elderly persons may feel the need to end their own lives, feeling, rightly or wrongly, that they have become a burden to their families.
When asked about the possibility that an elderly person might wrongly believe they are considered to be a burden by their families, Baroness Warnock responded: "This is one of those 'slippery slope' arguments. One can't rule it out that they might feel they ought to. But then, I don't know if that's such a terribly bad outcome, because their family if they're nice will say 'you're not a burden' even if they are really. I don't see why people should particularly want to stay alive if they're not enjoying themselves. But if they are enjoying themselves, put up with it. I think that's the criterion I'd use."
In Baroness Warnock's view, "I don't think people any longer ought to suppose they should go on living the whole of their possible natural lives, because we all live so much longer these days."
In Baroness Mary Warnock, we meet the face of the modern secular worldview. She is undoubtedly intelligent and clever, having served in a variety of illustrious and respected positions in academia and public life. There are few issues of public policy and debate in Great Britain which are not marked by her influence or leadership.
Interestingly, on the issue of assisted suicide Baroness Warnock is uncomfortable with the idea of a "right" to die. In her view, rights do not exist unless they are written into the positive law.
In other words, she rejects the entire structure of natural law argument, suggesting that there are virtually no natural rights. Of course, given the fact that she denies any divine or natural law, she is put in a position of great difficulty when she suggests that there is any basic "ought" to a moral question. In the end, the Baroness seems to suggest that euthanasia should not be a debate over either religion or rights. Instead, persons should simply be allowed this option, perhaps in light of the larger social obligation.
"I believe that people who are competent and suffering and who say they want to die should be able to do so, but I don't think I base that belief on their autonomy, or not in any very general sense," she insists. "I think that the decision should be theirs because they are the people who are suffering." Finally, "I'm not particularly keen on a morality of rights anyway: given the many conflicting rights, one doesn't quite know what one can claim as a right."
In her view, objections to euthanasia or assisted suicide must be rooted in some form of religious argument. "I know a lot of people have religious objections to it, and of course they're entitled to them; but I don't see any reason why the religious view should be imposed on the people who aren't religious." In other words, a secular view should simply be imposed upon public policy. Yet, the most basic question remains: how can one construct a workable policy on a matter as significant as human dignity from an entirely secular worldview?
Moving beyond these questions, Baroness Warnock even suggests that the medical profession has "had too much input into the whole discussion." As she sees it, the crucial issues are not medical, but social. In an article published in The Guardian [London], Baroness Warnock complained that many medical doctors seemed to be squeamish about the issue of assisted suicide. Indeed, the vast majority of British doctors are publicly opposed to current efforts to legalize euthanasia and assisted suicide.
As Baroness Warnock recalled, "One imminent physician to whom I spoke said: 'I would not be able to do it. I am programmed not to kill.'" Responding with the case of an elderly person who wished to have her ventilator turned off, Baroness Warnock stated this: "We should be grateful to the medical profession that, on the whole, we can trust them to try to keep us alive rather than kill us. Yet there is something chilling about a doctor 'programmed' to disregard the serious desire of an intelligent and far-sighted woman, even though compliance with her wish has been deemed lawful."
These arguments reveal the great divide that separates the modern secular mind and the Christian worldview. Indeed, it is hard to imagine a more unbridgeable gulf than that which stands between the belief that human beings, made in the image of God, possess both an inherent right to natural life and an obligation to care for others and, on the other hand, the view that some lives are simply not worth living or keeping alive.
Jenni Murray and Baroness Mary Warnock know exactly what they mean to argue. Murray's suicide pact and Warnock's public argument may indicate a shift in public opinion in both Great Britain and the United States. Will individuals understand what is at stake when Baroness Warnock declares, "In other contexts sacrificing oneself for one's family would be considered good. I don't see what is so horrible about the motive of not wanting to be an increasing nuisance . . . . I am not ashamed to say some lives are more worth living than others?" Will the viewers of Jenni Murray's television program rise up in indignation when she declares that she does not want to be "trapped" into caring for her mother? Will the BBC face outrage when its spokesperson defends this statement by suggesting that the care of elderly parents threatens to limit the lifestyles and professional careers of "liberated and independent" women?
All that remains to be seen, though this debate seems to be taking an ominous turn on both sides of the Atlantic. In the meantime, these arguments should demand the attention of all persons who believe in the inherent dignity of human life. We are witnessing the embrace of a pact with death.

Atlantic City Vintage Pennant – Navy
We struck gold.
Our buddies at Oxford Pennant really hooked it up this time. Though they typically design and create vintage sporting pennants themselves, they also spent years scouring the continent to collect these authentic vintage ones. They found 'em at estate sales, antique shows, and lots of other off-the-beaten-path places they know to look to strike sweet felt gold. The oldest of these are from the 30's, and from typeface to illustration, they all express an optimistic kind of retrofuturism. And since a lot of 'em are older than most of our coworkers, they've developed a ton of character in their travels. Grab one of these and add some history to your walls.

Septic tank replacement in Thurnscoe, South Yorkshire
Domestic sewage treatment plants for South Yorkshire homes - what you need to know
If you own or intend to buy a home in Thurnscoe or South Yorkshire which is not connected to a mains sewer, your property will utilise an off-mains domestic drainage system. While this has traditionally taken the form of a septic tank or cesspit - also called a cesspool, both are not without their drawbacks and increasingly it is the domestic sewage treatment plant that is winning favour.
Here's why...
Cesspit replacement: why you should do this
Let's start by looking at the problems with cesspits, which are single watertight chambers that collect effluent and wastewater and hold it. The waste is not treated in any way and the cesspit needs to be emptied once full.
Cesspits are banned in Scotland, and in England it is the property owner's responsibility to ensure that it does not leak or overflow. Given that cesspits are a bygone approach to household sewage treatment, many are old and have become porous as a result. In fact, some are intentionally damaged so they discharge waste illegally to the reduce costs of emptying - which the Environment Agency will fine and prosecute for if discovered.
Septic tank alternatives may be necessary with 2020 regulation change
Septic tanks are widely used in rural homes in South Yorkshire to treat domestic sewage and provide a tried and tested solution. But they are not without their issues.
If your home uses a septic tank, is it 2020 ready? The new regulations brought about by the 2015 Environment Agency septic tank general binding rules mean that they can now (as of 1st January 2020) no longer discharge wastewater into adjacent water courses, as many had done to date, and instead need a sufficient soakaway to be compliant. This is not going to be possible for many rural homeowners as it requires a sizeable garden or field, making septic tank replacement with a domestic sewage treatment plant the only viable option.
Septic tank replacement cost
The best alternative to a septic tank or a cesspit is a domestic sewage treatment plant. Whilst their name may imply something large and complicated, the great thing about today's generation of sewage treatment plants for your home is that they do not require large amounts of space or a complex installation.
The cost to replace a septic tank with a domestic sewage treatment plant in South Yorkshire will typically be far more cost effective compared with the alternatives. Plus, the cost to install sewage treatment plants within a new build development may well be even less, particularly if the development consists of several properties located close together.
As approved installers of sewage treatment plants from many of the world's leading manufacturers, including Klarjester, Sweeting Bros Ltd will provide all the guidance you need to arrive at the best sewage treatment solution. We will advise on the type of plant you will need for your home, which will depend on the amount of material that the plant needs to process.
How a domestic sewage treatment plant works
Sewage treatment plants are relatively similar in concept to septic tanks, but they apply a more modern method to treating the waste. Septic tanks usually consist of two chambers, which simply separate the waste over time and have no mechanical components or need for an electricity supply.
A sewage treatment plant has three chambers with mechanical components that require a permanent electricity supply. Its additional chamber makes use of an air diffuser to circulate air that encourages the growth of bacteria to break down sewage. This ultimately results in the discharge of much cleaner, more environmentally friendly effluent - the quality of which is compliant with the 2015 Environment Agency septic tank general binding rules.
Just like a septic tank, a domestic sewage treatment plant does still need to be emptied but not as regularly. Keeping it maintained annually is important too, as sludge can also build up in the system.
Helping off-mains customers in Thurnscoe and across South Yorkshire
As a Yorkshire based company, Sweeting Bros Ltd has a thorough understanding of the heritage of South Yorkshire, its rural character and the challenges that many homeowners and property developers face when it comes to domestic sewage solutions.
We have a strong track record of septic tank replacement and domestic sewage treatment plant installation in the South Yorkshire which is home to more than 1.4 million people. With a broad mix of rural and urban areas, the county has a rich heritage across its 600 sq miles with a great many properties being off mains sewerage in towns and cities like Wombwell, Bolton Upon Dearne, Wath upon Dearne, Barnsley, Goldthorpe and Stocksbridge.
Wherever your property is located, you can be assured that we know your area well, and that we have the best possible range of domestic sewage systems and services that are right for you.
Take a look at our case studies to see how our customers in South Yorkshire have benefited from our services.

Disengaged Workers Are More Stressed With Longer Commutes
A long commute to work may make it harder for American workers who are "actively disengaged" at work, but commuting isn't linked to daily stress and worry for "engaged"workers, according to a new Gallup Poll.
The percentages of actively disengaged workers who admitted to stress and worry in their lives without great amounts of happiness and enjoyment increases from 15.5 percent for those with short commutes to 27.1 percent for those with long commutes.
Contrastingly, engaged workers low worry and stress levels did not change significantly regardless of commute time.
Employees who are "not engaged" experienced poorer mood as commute time increased, especially if the commute was 45 minutes or more, which is the commute time for 14 percent of Americans. Results are based on data from the Gallup-Healthways Well-being Index and include data from special Gallup Daily tracking series that was ran throughout 2011.
In the fourth quarter of 2011, fewer than one in three American workers was engaged (29 percent), 52 percent were not engaged, and 19 percent were actively disengaged, which was the same from earlier in the year.
Results of the study are based on telephone interviews conducted by Gallup Daily tracking survey from January 2 to December first of 2011. A random sample of 8,585 adults, 18 years of age and older, living in the United States were used to gather statistics.

The Inya Institute is a Yangon-based higher learning institute dedicated to advancing the social sciences, the arts and humanities as they are related to Myanmar. It is a non-political, non-religious, non-profit, and non-degree granting organization.
It seeks to build research and intellectual capacity for young local researchers, to foster scholarly exchange between local and international researchers, and to create original scholarship for international and local scholars. It further aims to raise the general public's understanding of the country's multi-faceted cultural, ethnic and linguistic legacy.
While Myanmar-based, the institute is very much open to collaborative work with institutions sharing similar commitments and operating in neighboring countries: Thailand, Northeast India (especially Nagaland and Manipur), Bangladesh, and China (especially Yunnan).
The Inya Institute is a member of the Council of American Overseas Research Centers (CAORC).
The institute's daily activities are managed and coordinated by a Yangon-based group of Myanmar and International researchers. The institute which is accountable and transparent to its donors and sponsors is responsible for drafting proposals submitted to grant-giving institutions, grant-reporting, and annual accounting and reporting of the institute's general activities.
The development of the institute's training and research activities is overseen by an Academic Board composed of fourteen internationally recognized academics (5 academics at US universities, 3 at Japanese universities, 2 at Australian universities, 1 at a UK university, 1 at a French university, 1 at a Swiss University, and 2 academics in Myanmar).
An Advisory Board is being formed so as to strengthen the financial and operational capacities of the institute and define its strategic orientations.

What is a Fifth Metatarsal Fracture?
Fractures (breaks) are common in the fifth metatarsal – the long bone on the outside of the foot that connects to the little toe. Two types of fractures that often occur in the fifth metatarsal are:
Other types of fractures can occur in the fifth metatarsal. Examples include mid-shaft fractures, which usually result from trauma or twisting, and fractures of the metatarsal head and neck.
Avulsion and Jones fractures have the same signs and symptoms. These include:
Anyone who has symptoms of a fifth metatarsal fracture should see a foot and ankle surgeon as soon as possible for proper diagnosis and treatment. To arrive at a diagnosis, the surgeon will ask how the injury occurred or when the pain started. The foot will be examined, with the doctor gently pressing on different areas of the foot to determine where there is pain.
The surgeon will also order x-rays. Because a Jones fracture sometimes does not show up on initial x-rays, additional imaging studies may be needed.
Non-surgical Treatment
Until you are able to see a foot and ankle surgeon, the "R.I.C.E." method of care should be performed:
The foot and ankle surgeon may use one of these non-surgical options for treatment of a fifth metatarsal fracture:
When is Surgery Needed?
If the injury involves a displaced bone, multiple breaks, or has failed to adequately heal, surgery may be required. The foot and ankle surgeon will determine the type of procedure that is best suited to the individual patient.

[Video] @WavyBanx 'My Fault'
Eric Johnson, also known as Wavy Banx is a Greensboro, North Carolina native currently residing in Atlanta, GA.
After graduating from college in North Carolina, Banx wasn't surrounded around much motivation. Many of his childhood friends either turned to drugs or the streets, so Banx had to make a decision on the type of person who he wanted to become.
Isolating himself, he began to pursue and practice music as a way to channel his frustrations. Many people who graduated knew what they wanted to do, but it just wasn't the same for Banx. Music opened up another avenue for him to express himself.
He practiced the craft by taking up freestyling and other styles of music. He also found lots of inspiration from his childhood when his dad would send him CDs to listen to while he was deployed. Fast-forward, Banx has released a few singles to the public and plans to release more music and videos to garner the attention of industry heads.
When asked about his inspiration, he says he's inspired by many artists but most importantly, Lil Wayne, Tupac, and Juicy J. Versatility is important to Banx, so he says he loves to create music that can put you into various moods. He plans to release his first project "Rachet and Rewarding" and also plans to roll-out more content for his growing fanbase.
"This year, I'm going to make people feel me. Just watch. ".
Checkout the single 'My Fault' from the new EP 'Rachet and Rewarding'. Coming soon!

Yes of course! Why didn't I think of that, imyourwoman And then again you can't really see the tight chains.. *rrr*imyourwoman wrote:Or is it the moon?Pearlvoice wrote: Unfortunately in the video the light's too bright
There is a another nice report about the concert online here
http://burnyourears.de/artikel-menue/li ... olmar.html
I tried to translate it as good as I could as follows. Unfortunately I didn't manage to translate the whole thing (yet) as I'm a bit in a hurry. But there's just a tiny bit at the end missing and I'll supply that later. (I made the translation in the office and working time is over now *lol*) Sorry for any mistakes.
A year ago I already had the opportunity, to see LEONARD COHEN live. But since at that time I worked at the "Stimmen Festival" in Lörrach, back then I could only hear the concert but not see it. And I am still impressed by the great slender man who greeted everyone in the backstage area so friendly – from the kitchen aid to the tour manager. The "Live In London 'DVD and CD impressed me further more, so it was no difficult decision [that I'd attend] when I heard of Cohen's concert at the Wine Fair in Colmar, just 50 kilometres away.
16.08.09 - Wine can hardly be found on the outer grounds of the fair. Instead, one has the feeling that all the commercials from the teleshopping channel have come alive.From the knives to kitchen machines up to leather jackets, there is pretty much everything that you do not absolutely need.
Admission to the exhibition hall is still an hour away so you can spend some time between the various food stalls, which sell more or less authentic French specialties. A Burger in a baguette is quite some idea.Colmar Expo arena itself is a functionally designed venue but totally free of any ambiance in the form of an amphitheater. Since all the seats are roofed, one doesn't have to worry about severe weather warnings. Since all the balconies (seating accomotations) have already largely been filled, the choice for the standing room is not difficult and it turns out to be a brilliant decision. I'm just 10 meters away from the musicians, who enter the stage on time at 8.30 pm.
As Leonard Cohen enters the stage I get goose bumps for the first time, because everyone in the arena gives a standing ovation. Even Cohen himself seems to be touched. He lifts his hat and enjoys the attention of his audience. Then the band starts playing "Dance Me To The End Of Love". Cohen sings the first verse kneeling to his genius guitarris Javier Mas and then skips over to his background singers. I hope I'll be that fit when I'm almost 75 – or even on some days nowadays.
At the beginning, the setlist is based largely on the one of the "Live In London" DVD. And where a year ago I was impressed, I'm absolutely thrilled now. I have never experience such a dense melancholy at a concert. Still Leonard Cohen does never, not for a single moment, slide into whining[/tearfulness]. Yet when I look around I'm not the only one who has to fight against a lump in the throat. In fact, everyone around me has tears in their eyes. And yet it is also always Cohen who, when the melancholy in the audience threatens to overwhelm, saves us with a little irony and a little faster and a bit angrier song. And so – after the incredible "There Is not No Cure For Love" and the deeply sad "Bird On A Wire" it is "Everybody Knows" that revives me (the first of three songs, that the background singer Sharon Robinson has co-written and co-produced). Incidentally this is also by far the best of these three songs. The following "[In] My secrete life" is too shallow and the later "Boogie Street" is justifiable as Sharon's song, but certainly not a highlight of the concert.
After returning to the dark side with "Who By Fire", we've come to the first two surprises in the setlist with "Lover Lover" and "Waiting For The Miracle". And then, with "Anthem" one of my absolute favorites. Before Leonar Cohen and his band leave for a 15 minute break all the musicians are being presented. To each of his fellow musicians Leonard Cohen leaves their applaus and bows down before he finally leaves the stage.
Meanwhile it became much more crowded in the standing area, and since the air here in the Expo Colmar Arena became really sticky I am grateful, that everyone around me tries to get outside for their cigarettes. Besides it is a good opportunity to get a few meters closer to the stage. When two roadies, wearing the hats so typical for Cohen, put a keyboard in the middle fo the stage I already know that I can look forward to one of my other favourites. And exactly – the second half of the set starts with "Tower Of Song" and with u"Suzanne" and "Sisters Of Mercy" kind of a "Greatest Hits" Phase is being heralded.
The set goes on with "Hey That's No Way To Say Good Bye and when Cohen sings a verse of "The Partisan" in French the athmosphere almost explodes. Generally the applauding audience does not let Cohen get a word edgewise and so his announcements are very rare. "Boogie Street" is the song by Sharon Robinson, who probably played quite a role in Cohen's return to the stage. Cohen himself remains in the background [while Sharon Robinson sings] and sings the background vocals himself. With alle due respect for Sharon Robinsons skills, but the soul-number is just a foreign body [?] in the set.
To make up for it, now comes the greatest hit of Cohen and probably the most covered. As the chorus of "Hallelujah" is accompanied b the estimated 8000 people in the audience I need a little time to recover myself. Whereas the song in the London version could not bear comparison with the studio recording it is all perfect here [in Colmar]. It's then time to brighten up the mood and during the following "I'm your man" a fan causes laughter by throwing to Cohen at first a pair of boxing gloves ("If you want a boxer..." ) and then a Stethoskop ( "If you want a doctor..." ), which Cohen immediately wears, respectively throws over his shoulder. Finally the second set closes with "Take This Walz" and the audience wildly applaudes Cohen and his musicians. Of course they have to return to the stage because there are still some major hits missing. [translation to be continued]

Re: CONCERT REPORT: Foire aux Vins de Colmar Festival, August 16
Well, thanks for sharing, Henning - the only thing I agree with in this article is that the clapping along to the beat was somewhat dis-concerting (pun intended). Apart from that, well, maybe the critic really didn't like the concert, but all in all, he rather sounds like someone trying by all means to be original and provocative... BORING and sickeningly sweet?! He must have been to a different concert from the rest of us!!

A year ago I once had the opportunity to experience live to LEONARD COHEN. But since I have used to work at the "Festival of Voices", I could not hear the concert only see them. And yet impressed me the great gaunt man who everyone in the backstage area of the kitchen help to the tour manager greeted him kindly. The 'Live In London 'DVD and CD impressed me more, and so it was not a tough decision when I heard of Cohen's concert at the Wine Fair in Colmar, 50km away.
Wine can be found on the outer grounds of the fair, however, hardly. Instead, one has the feeling that awakens all the clips on the tele to life are. From the kitchen knives on machines up to leather jackets, there is pretty much what you do not need mandatory.
Admission to the exhibition hall there is also about an hour before the concert begins to wait a while for him. You can while away the time with various food stalls that offer more or less authentic French cuisine. Come on hamburgers in bread must be erstmal.
The Expo Arena Colmar itself is indeed a very practical thought-out, but completely atmosphärefreier venue, a small amphitheater for example in the form. Since all sites are completely sheltered from the sidelines until the interior, you have to make the issued severe weather warnings for the time being not to worry. Since the ranks are already largely occupied, the decision is not difficult for the interior, and is proving to be spot-on. Almost 10 meters distance separating me from the musicians who present themselves on time at 20:30 on the clock with waving white cloths draped stage.
As Leonard Cohen takes the stage, I had goose bumps the first time, because in the whole arena now sits nobody. Even Cohen himself seems touched, moves as so often this evening, his hat and enjoys the attention of his audience.
Then the band enters with "Dance Me To The End Of Love". The first stanza sings COHEN, kneeling next to his, by the way genius, guitarist Javier Mas and then dances to his Backround singers. Thus, in good shape with just under 75 I would also like to be , and on some days even today.
First, the setlist is based largely on the program that most viewers will be aware of the "Live In London" recording. And where I was struck a year ago, I'm absolutely thrilled. I have never at a concert so dense melancholy experience without LEONARD COHEN here only for a moment to slip into the lachrymose. And when I look around me so I'm not the only one who has to struggle constantly with a tennis ball in my throat Klos. In fact, all have around me always tears in his eyes. And yet, Cohen succeeds again and again, when the melancholy threatens to overwhelm the audience, one with a tick faster, a little ironic or save a little bit angry piece.
And so it is after the incredible "There Is not No Cure For Love" and the deeply sad "Bird On A Wire," "Everybody Knows" has given me new co-written (the first of three plays that Backround singer Sharon Robinson and produced). Incidentally, this is also by far the strongest of these three pieces. The following "My Secret Life" has become too shallow, and later placed in the set "Boogie Street" is acceptable, although as Sharon's song, but certainly not a highlight of the concert.
Once you are with "Who By Fire" slipped back to the dark side to come up with "Lover Lover" and "Waiting For The Miracle", the first two surprises in the setlist. And then with "Anthem", one of my absolute favorite.
Before LEONARD COHEN with his band, then withdraws into an approximately fifteen-break, which will present all the musicians. This makes each of his fellow COHEN his applause and bows to his musicians, before he finally leaves the stage.
Meanwhile it is in the interior has become much fuller, and there in the Expo Colmar Arnea the humid air has been standing for hours, I am grateful when everything around me pushing for smoking to outside. Moreover, even a welcome opportunity for a few yards in front for good.
When two roadies to carry all the way, the typical COHEN hat, place a keyboard in the middle of the stage, I already know that I can look me straight to another favorite. And sure enough, with "Tower of Song" opens the second half of the set, and with "Suzanne" and "Sisters of Mercy" virtually a Greatest Hits-heralded passage.
"Hey That's No Way To Say Good Bye", from the London bloggers actually expected in the first half, set on the list of feats, and when Cohen on "The Partisan," sings a verse in French, cook the arena through definitive. In general, the applauding fans COHEN leave this evening hardly have a voice, so announcements are extremely rare.
"Boogie Street" is ultimately the song from Sharon Robinson, who was probably in no small part in Leonard Cohen's return to the world stage. COHEN itself runs behind in the background, and now even controls Backround-in vocals. With all due respect prior to the skill of Mrs Robinson, but the soul is simply a foreign object number in the set.
That comes after probably the biggest hit of Cohen, and probably meistgecoverte. Is sung as the chorus of "Hallelujah" from an estimated 8,000 people, I do not need a while to get the text again. Could this particular song in the London version does not compete with the studio recording, now agrees with everything.
It is time to loosen the mood of something, and the following "I'm Your Man" provides a fan for the laughs, the first boxing gloves COHEN match the text ( "If you want a boxer ...") and a stethoscope (" If you want a doctor ...") throws, which also creates LEONARD COHEN immediately or throw over your shoulder.
Finally, include "Take This Walz" from the second part of the set, and the crowd celebrate Cohen and his musicians. That they would come back on stage, it is clear, because some immortal hits are missing.
And so the addition begins with "So Long Marianne" and probably the tanzbarsten piece of the evening "First We Take Manhattan", another favorite of mine. "Famous Blue Raincoat" is the next "surprise" in the set. The recitation of an exchange of letters turns into "If It Be Your Will", says the first verse of the COHEN, before Charley and Hattie Webb, the "sublime Webb Sisters", the song in a heart-rending duet - accompanied by harp (Charly) a guitar (Hattie) and Neil Larsen in the divine Hammond B3 complete -.
Now it is too late again, which suggests the following title "Closing Time", which again shows the more upbeat side of LEONARD COHEN. When he leaves the stage, celebrating him Colmar concluded with a standing ovation.
And so can the grand old man also draw attention back to the stage to perform with the situation quite ironic "I Tried To Leave You" finally come to the end. But first the band members are allowed to show a small solo part again, adopt what they can, and be rewarded with applause from the audience. After gathering all the musicians, roadies and part of the crew to the a cappella piece "Wither Thou Goest" on stage and is now really the spectators in the Colmar Expo.
One should be careful with superlatives, but I am so far to call this concert as the best of my recent life. How and who is said to surpass that, I can not imagine at the moment. Each artist will have a hard time in the coming months.
Without question, I was emotionally taken so far no other concert as this. So beautifully sad, I felt before, and even one days later, the melancholy is not yet evaporated.
Whoever has the opportunity to see Leonard Cohen live, they should use, so long as it goes. Eventually, these legends will be their last concert.
Remains so in the end only a great conclusion to draw, even if the evening in Colmar for some reason should have been my last concert ... somehow that would be OK.

There was a brief period of respite at the beginning of August between the end of the Outsound New Music Summit and the start of a new job. Time was tight, so there wasn't time for an extended odyssey in the deserts of southeastern California. But the north coast, specifically Humbolt County and the area around Eureka, were well within range for a two-day trip. I have never been that far north on the coast. I got an Airbnb in Eureka. I researched a mixture of industrial and natural spaces for photography and exploration. I even got a new lens for the big camera. And early on Saturday morning (or at least early by CatSynth standards), I was ready to go.
Eureka is a direct shot up US 101 from San Francisco, about a four-hour trip in good conditions. It's a major freeway up to the border between Sonoma and Mendocino counties, and then a mixture of an expressway and a two-lane road through the redwoods, with spots of freeway near major towns.
I never made it to Eureka.
The beginning of the trip was enjoyable and largely uneventful – and the Russian River gorge section after crossing into Mendocino County is spectacular. North of Ukiah, I felt like I was actually transitioning into exploration, as this was somewhat novel territory (technically, I had been as far north as Legget in 2013, but that was in the evening and rushed). Once CA 20 joins with 101 north of Ukiah, the combined route begins a long, steep grade into the hills. It is here where things started to go a bit wrong. The temperature gauge on the car, usually quite steady, suddenly shot up beyond the red "H". This is definitely not good. I shut off the air conditioning and things calmed down a bit as we got into the new Willits bypass, a Super-2 limited access highway. North of the bypass, 101 becomes a steep windy road through the woods; the temperature gauge shot up again. This was definitely not good. I limped back to Willits to give the car a break and figure out next steps.
I've been through Willits a few times, but never really stopped there. The little downtown has some cute old brick buildings. But I had no time to play – I needed to find a repair shop. Nothing showed up in Yelp as open. I probably should have called AAA at this time, but I did find an open shop in Ukiah, so I limped back. I drove conservatively, with the windows open, the vent fully open, and one eye on the temperature gauge.
I was relieved when I finally pulled into Tony Lopez Automotive. It was out a strange little industrial side-street south of downtown. Tony was clearly not pleased to have someone wander in with car trouble just as he was getting ready to close, but he was also chivalrous and ready to help out a damsel in distress. We got the car cooled down; and after a bit of diagnosis, he identified a small but pernicious radiator leak. The diagnosis took some time, and while I was sitting I noticed a rather interesting pile of old car parts. I snapped an iPhone photo, which became a Wordless Wednesday featured a couple of weeks ago.
I regret not grabbing my better camera out of the car to get a higher-quality image, but it was not my priority at the time. And I do like the abstract quality the pixelation provides. Tony did notice the fancier equipment still in the car, though, and it sparked a conversation about my writing and photography and about this site. I wonder if he has checked it out.
Once things were ready, I left town – I would have loved to stay, but I was eager and anxious to get home. I also left Tony Lopez a glowing Yelp review. If you on 101 in the vicinity of Ukiah and need auto help, please patronize his shop and tell him that Amanda from San Francisco sent you.
The trip back to San Francisco was sad but uneventful, and in this case uneventful was good. I didn't record the trip back on Highway☆, but here is the exact same trek that I did record on a short but happier trip in July.
The engine temperature stayed within an acceptable range, and it was fine over the next few days in San Francisco, but the radiator definitely needed to repaired ASAP. This experience also cured me of any sort of "fun with highways" wanderlust for a while and I have remained close to home since then (except for μHausen). But the bug is starting to come back, and I might have to start exploring again. I might even make it to Eureka one of these days…
