UPDATE: I've just learned that the debate has been postponed — not sure why.
Tribune file photos of Ben Chavis and Yvette Felarca
Let's just say that when I chose my furlough dates last month, I had no idea that the below event would be happening in the middle of my time away.
Ben Chavis, the infamously temperamental, "Bay Area liberals"-loathing former director of the American Indian Public Charter Schools is taking on Yvette Felarca, a likewise outspoken leader of BAMN (Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action, Integration & Immigrant Rights And Fight for Equality By Any Means Necessary) and her colleague, Shanta Driver, in a debate about charter schools.
I wonder if OUSD is taking any additional security precautions.
With school board member Chris Dobbins moderating, Felarca and Driver are going to argue "that charter schools are part of a new Jim Crow system of education that forces an increasing number of black and Latino students into separate, inferior schools." (I don't know which system they consider to be separate and inferior, as more than 80 percent of Oakland's charter school students are black or Latino — and some of the city's charter schools are better than others — but I suppose they are referring to district schools.)
Chavis is slated to take the opposite position, which is interesting because I don't think he's necessarily pro-charter as much as he is for his particular brand of education — and as much as he is against groups like BAMN. Here's the flier:
Charter Schools: A Step Forward or Backward for Public Education?
A debate between opponents and advocates of charter schools is scheduled to take place Thursday, February 26th, at 5:00 PM in the OUSD Administration Building, Hunter Hall. In Oakland, and nationally, the growth of charter schools has been one of the most hotly contested changes in the educational system over the past ten years.
Arguing that charter schools are part of a new Jim Crow system of education that forces an increasing number of black and Latino students into separate, inferior schools will be Shanta Driver and Yvette Felarca, representatives of the civil rights group Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action, Integration and Immigrant Rights and Fight for Equality by Any Means Necessary (BAMN).
Arguing that charter schools provide students with an education to enhance their academic skills in order to compete and be productive members of society will be Ben Chavez (sic), founder of the American Indian Charter School in Oakland, and Janet Roberts, current Principal of the American Indian Charter School.
Oakland Unified School Board Director Chris Dobbins will be moderating the event. Hunter Hall is located at 1025 2nd Avenue, near Laney College. The public is invited to attend and will have ample opportunities to pose questions to the speakers in what is sure to be a hotly contested debate.

"Celebrity Apprentice" cast announcedContinue reading.
Disturbing video of Mindy McCready on 'Celebrity Rehab' one more reason for the VH1 show to quit
Mindy McCready's apparent suicide on Sunday makes her the fifth "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew" cast member to die in the past two years.
The troubled country singer appeared on season three, a season in which three cast members have died, including Evergreen Park native Joey Kovar. The former "Real World" star was found dead last summer in a home in Chicago Ridge at the age of 29. The Cook County medical examiner's office ruled his death, due to "opiate intoxication," an accident.
Former Alice in Chains bassist Mike Starr, 44, died in 2011 reportedly from a prescription drug overdose. He, too, was on season three.
McCready is the latest fatality from that season, which aired in 2010 on VH1. The extremely unsettling video below is a clip from her stint on the program. It shows her having a seizure while the cameras rolled. Castmate Heidi Fleiss is laughing at first because she thinks McCready is faking it. Former Chicago Bulls star Dennis Rodman runs out to the ambulance to comfort McCready as she's being taken away from the Pasadena Recovery Center where the show was filmed.
McCready, who died of a suspected self-inflicted gunshot to the head, clearly was a deeply troubled person. The Associated Press reported that the 37-year-old mother of two had attempted suicide at least three times since 2005. I don't think being on "Celebrity Rehab" led to her — or any of her castmates' — untimely demises. But that doesn't make the show feel any less exploitative, especially when you watch the disturbing clip in this post.
The Hollywood Reporter had a story in January 2012 that VH1 had no plans to air "Celebrity Rehab" or its spin-off, "Celebrity Rehab Presents Sober House" last year. Dr. Drew Pinsky did have a show last fall that focused on rehabbing regular folks as opposed to celebrities.
VH1 hasn't made an official statement on the fate of its "Rehab" franchise, but in my opinion, McCready's death is one more reason in a long list of reasons to quit this series.

The one word our testers would use to describe the Kelty Cosmic Down sleeping bag is "OK". This bag is just ok at everything. It is the least expensive down bag we tested, which makes it a good value for a budget conscious lady looking to purchase her first mummy-style down bag for a backpacking trip. It has low quality 550 fill duck down, that is heavier than would have liked. We discovered that the Cosmic Down incorporates synthetic materials into its neck baffle and draft tube, which also contributes to its weight and bulk.
During our testing period, we ran into a woman on the John Muir Trail who was using the Kelty Cosmic Down. We polled her for her opinion, and she said "so far so good, good value for the money."

OutdoorGearLab Editors' Hands-on Review
Performance Comparison
The Kelty Cosmic Down bag is EN tested to 32°F. We did not experience temperatures that cold while testing this bag, but we don't think we would want to. We felt like this bag was just warm enough when the temperatures were approaching the low forties.
Although we tested heavier bags, the Cosmic Down is by far the heaviest of the down bags tested. We were disappointed by how heavy this bag is because one of the great advantages of down is its high warmth-to-weight ratio. The Cosmic Down is 2lbs 7.7 oz, and we hoped at this weight it would be warmer and have a higher fill power.
This bag is relatively comfortable. It fits our 5'5 tester well, and she has a enough room to put on additional layers without it feeling too restrictive.
Packed Size
This bag compresses relatively well because it is down, but does not compress as well as the other down bags we tested, like the REI Joule. It comes with a small stuff sack, but not a compression sack.
Making the Cosmic Down smaller and narrower is the only attempt that Kelty makes at a women's specific feature. The zipper seems low quality, and has a tendency to catch on the shell material. We like the different thicknesses of drawcords for the hood and chin baffle. so it is easy to tell them apart in the dark.
This bag is somewhat versatile. Paired with a high R-Value sleeping pa, it could be stretched from late spring to early fall use in warmer climates. But it is heavier than the other down sleeping bags we tested, such as the Rab Neutrino 400 - Women's and we would not want to carry this with us on extended backpacking trips.
Best Application
This inexpensive bag works best car camping, during sleepovers, and on short backpacking trips.
At $149.59 the price tag on this bag is hard to beat. It is a great value for a budget conscious camper who wants a down sleeping bag and needs a go-to bag for all of her camping needs.

I read it somewhere, but now that I think about it I think it was MWM, not
TWM. Nonetheless, FVWM used to (probably not now) have smaller footprint
than TWM: http://www.fvwm.org/documentation/faq/#1.6
Note that FVWM (version 1) vs. FVWM2 issue is an interesting one, so from
certain perspectives you might consider them to be two separate window
managers, like in the above URL. I won't go into the details here.

Mozilla *is* slow, but the scrolling problem exists in other applications

Maybe. But I used to use Diamond Stealth S220 video card and it was
really slow. I read in the X documentation and found that acceleration
wasn't supported yet. It was "yet" for many years until I got tired and
got a Voodoo 3. Maybe that's not a problem for newer video cards as far
as 2D acceleration is concerned... but it seems like to me it was an issue
for older video cards.

Just a past experience with slow X, and a glitchy console system. Both
problems were related to the X server so I figured it's a improperly
supported video card... frame buffer is just a guess, since many platforms
fall back to frame buffer if it can't find a supported X server. But it
could be a bad (or beta) implementation of an X server module.

Academic Staff: Katharine Dommett
Dr Katharine Dommett, BA (Hons), MA (Distinction), PhD (University of Sheffield)
Lecturer in the Public Understanding of Politics
Deputy Director of the Crick Centre for the Public Understanding of Politics
Telephone: +44 (0)114 222 1682
Room: 211
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Katharine is lecturer in the Public Understanding of Politics and Deputy Director of the newly created Sir Bernard Crick Centre within the Department for Politics. This is the world's first research centre for the study and promotion of the public understanding of politics (for more see: www.crickcentre.org). Within the Centre Katharine leads a research strand on Political Institutions and Democratic Reform, and has developed training courses for practitioners and academics designed to promote and enhance political engagement.
Katharine joined the Department in August 2012 as a Research Fellow on the ESRC funded project 'Shrinking the State'. She completed her doctorate in 2012 which explored ideology, processes of ideological change and modernisation in relation to contemporary political parties.
In terms of research, Katharine is particularly interested in politics as a practical activity. This motivates an interest in political parties, political ideology, political institutions, new democratic innovations and political communication.
Current Research
Currently I am interested in the challenges political disengagement and disaffection pose for contemporary democracy. It is widely acknowledged that levels of political engagement are falling, and that many traditional political institutions are facing a democratic deficit. In this context I am interested in the notion of democratic renewal, considering whether established institutions, specifically political parties and the NHS, can be revitalised to encourage greater democratic participation. Working alongside practitioners my research therefore evaluates whether traditional power structures can be adapted to promote a more inclusive, democratic politics.
My teaching philosophy is based on a belief in curiosity. University offers students the chance to learn in a completely different way to school and college. Rather than being focused on the answers for exams and assessment, University allows us to develop our own thinking. I encourage my students to explore the way that they view the world, considering which side of political conflicts they stand, why they hold those positions, and why they might be right or wrong. Politics is about passion, conflict and ideas and I use my lectures and seminars to encourage students to explore their own opinions, discover new ideas and be curious about the way the world is run.
The study of politics is all about marshalling facts and ideas to make an argument, therefore I expect students to read widely. I encourage students to spend time browsing through the library and to bring their own ideas and questions to seminars to stimulate discussion. As a lecturer I do not profess to offer all the answers, rather I introduce ideas and debates that students have the freedom to explore. One of the most stimulating parts of being a lecturer is having the opportunity to hear new perspectives and ideas, and I find interactions with students provide a constant fuel for my own passion for the study of politics.
I currently teach on two modules:
- POL231 - Never Mind the Ballots! State and Society in the UK Today
- POL6320 - Comparative Governance and Public Policy
- Dommett, K. 'Ideological Quietism? Ideology and Party Politics in Britain', forthcoming.

Report: Pregnant section of Mesa yearbook draws ire
A yearbook is a large part of the high school experience.
Most people save theirs to look back on as they go through life. It's a snapshot of one year of their life, likely when they made lifelong friends and grew into the adults they are today.
But according to USA Today, a yearbook decision at Mesa High School is drawing a lot of ire.
Pages 40 and 41 of the school's 255-page yearbook, Superstition Vol. 105, feature photographs and a description of how difficult it is to raise children and attend high school at the same time. The pages are titled "I'm working a double shift."
The feature prompted plenty of angry parents to call the school. Many felt the section painted teenage pregnancy in the same light as sports and school clubs.
Helen Hollands, a Mesa Public School spokesperson, said the district is "100 percent" behind expectant students and supports their academic career. She said she does not believe the controversy will result in changes to district yearbook policy.

A geo-engineering/ chemtrails experiment using a balloon to spray sulfur particles into the sky to reflect solar radiation back into space is planned for New Mexico within a year by scientist David Keith. Keith manages a multimillion dollar research fund for Bill Gates. Gates has also gathered a team of scientist lobbyists that have been asking governments for hand-outs to for their climate manipulation experiments with taxpayer money.

There has been a tremendous amount of discussion for the past two and one half year about what has really gone on here in the Gulf of Mexico in the wake of the BP oil spill.
Here's the 'inside' story.
The official response to the BP Gulf Oil Spill has been controlled like no other response in American history to an environmental catastrophe. The US Government, to include the EPA, NOAA, Energy, Interior, the White House, has colluded with BP et al. to keep the lid on what has really been taking place in our waters, on our beaches and with our seafood.
The French prime minister announced on September 15, 2012 that France would maintain a ban on Monsanto's MON810 maize, the only genetically modified organisim (GMO) currently allowed in Europe. Thanks to activism by French citizens and serious political outcry, Monsanto is now effectively blocked from Europe's gigantic marketplace. This is even more true when you consider that France is the largest agricultural producer in Europe.
But that's not all. Following the ground-breaking French study that graphically linked the lifetime consumption of Monsanto's GMO corn in rats to massive tumors and direct organ failure, Russia's premiere consumers rights organization has suspended both the importation and use of Monsanto's GMO corn within the nation's borders.

You Tell Us! Which Revenge Guy Looks Hotter Shirtless: Jack or Daniel?
There are two types of shirtless hotties in this world, and Revenge has prime examples of both.
Daniel "Rich Shirtless Hottie" Grayson (Joshua Bowman): Daniel's abs are svelte and sculpted from countless hours spent manning the jib on his sail boat and rowing crew at Harvard. He's tall, dark, freshly lotioned, and always on team "skins" during a competitive game of beach volleyball.
Jack "Working Man Shirtless Hottie" Porter (Nick Wechsler): Jack earned his six pack oiling down the Amanda, building porch swings with his bare hands, and presumably hunting and killing his own meals. Some might call his abs second-class citizens, but not us.
So, which six pack has you drooling? It all boils down to whether you like your men waxed or hairy. (Check out a video of the guys shirtless below then cast your vote!)

SK-II Facial Treatment Mask
The winter weather is killing my skin– I mean, literally killing it. My otherwise balanced and smooth (as a baby's butt) face is now covered in dead skin- TMI- but true. There is nothing more dangerous for your complexion than flaky skin. The flakes get stuck into your pores, dull your natural glow and create gross patchy areas when applying makeup.
Desperate times call for desperate measures and in this war against winter I had to pull out the big guns. In beauty terms this could only mean the SK-II Facial Treatment Mask. There isn't a beauty editor or fanatic in the world who doesn't have or wish they had the SK-II FTM in their arsenal. Unfortunately, this kind of protection doesn't come cheap. Coming in at $12.50 a pop (10 pack/$125) one needs to think very carefully before committing to using her. But let me tell you ladies, if you do...you will be victorious. Your face will become instantly transformed and it will last for days! Also, OURtip: save the extra essence in the pack and apply it nightly like a regular serum in your routine (lasts for about three days). It's the gift that keeps on giving.

This has been such a fabulous 21 day adventure. It was a little sad to get up today and not find a new message. I joined the program on a whim and as an attempt to stop using half and half in my coffee. But in this 3 weeks I've done way more than give up dairy.
I've found it easy to follow the meal plan and inspiring to read everyone's posts. The puffiness around my eyes (that I've attributed to age) has receded, I've lost more than 4 pounds and I have more energy than ever. I love this! I'll definitely be signed up for March.
I've eaten more starch--brown rice, whole wheat pasta, pita pizzas and bread than I've eaten in years (probably since 1993!). I have to say that it made me anxious; for so long I've thought that I need to eat lean protein and avoid anything starchy.I still worry about it but that doesn't keep me from happily dining on my new fare. (Seriously, I went low-fat in the early 1990s. But then it was all white bread, fat-free Entemenn's coffee cake and far free Snackwell cookies.) This feels different. I'm reading everything I can find about a plant-based diet.
Sorry for writing such a long post. I just want to say thank you for such a potentially life changing experience. The journey continues!
PS--The live broadcast/chat about exercise quickies was great too.
Who says you have to stop the way you've been eating just because the 21 days are up? The "magic formula"? It varies somewhat depending on individual tastes and preferences, but here's mine for an example:
Breakfast: Oatmeal with cinnamon & soy milk or Vegan french toast or waffles or pancakes, or a smoothie.
Lunch & Supper: a grain, a green vegetable and a legume. (ex: rice or pasta, kale or broccoli, etc.,red or black or pinto beans, etc.) Sometimes I treat myself to a yummy stir fry with tofu (that counts as the legume) and assorted vegetables (cabbage, brocolli, celery, carrots, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, etc.)
Snacks can be fruit, seeds & nuts, raw veggies with hummus, etc.
It's easy! Daily try to work in 2 servings of legumes, 3 of fruit, 4 vegetables, and 5 grains.
Good luck!Jennifer
THANK YOU SO MUCH for being a part of this and for sharing your experience. I never get tired of reading people's success stories with the 21-day Kickstart. So inspiring! See you in March (and here until then!).
Susan Levin, MS, RDPCRM Director of Nutrition Education
If you appreciate the "community" offered here, you may also like some of the Happy Herbivore facebook groups. There are Herbie Parents, New Herbies, Senior Herbies, maybe more. I'm new to the kickstart program and am loving the additional resources and community it's providing!

For three uncertain, unsettled seasons he has operated as the manager.
Now, finally, Don Mattingly is the boss.
In a move that will certify his credibility in the clubhouse and presence in the dugout, the Dodgers have smartly given Mattingly a two-year contract extension through 2016 in a move that works for everyone.
A combustible team equally capable of championship and circus now has one less major distraction, while a solid guy who has led this team with a feather duster has finally been given a hammer.
The Dodgers no longer have to worry about the stability of their leadership, and Mattingly no longer has to worry about his freedom to lead.
Although nobody will talk about Monday's deal until it is officially announced later this week, the genesis for this extension lies in Mattingly's weariness over his lack of job security. Not once during his three seasons here has he felt truly secure, with massive changes in ownership and roster resulting in a dizzying lame-duck ride that resulted in last fall's memorable crash-and-burn news conference.
While speaking at what was supposed to be a routine season wrap-up, Mattingly confirmed that the club's one-year option on his contract had automatically vested, but said he wasn't sure he would return. He essentially challenged the Guggenheim group to either give him the strength of a long-term deal or let him walk.
"With the payroll and the guys that you have, it puts you in a tough spot in the clubhouse,'' Mattingly said at the time, referring to a one-year deal. "Really, what it does, it puts me in a spot where everything that I do is questioned because I'm basically trying out or auditioning to say, 'Can he manage or can he not manage?' To me it's at that point where, three years in, either you know or you don't.''
The Dodgers knew he could manage players. What they questioned was his ability to manage a game. They didn't know whether he would eventually grow into the sort of strategist necessary to win big games in October. They wanted another year to find out, but Mattingly made it clear that he had been dangling long enough.
The Dodgers got the message. While they were greatly irritated that Mattingly chose to publicly air his grievances, the highest levels of the organization decided he was worth the extra two seasons. They replaced bench coach Trey Hillman with Tim Wallach so Mattingly could have the benefit of a new viewpoint in late-inning situations, then threw Mattingly his anchor.
They are still concerned about his ability in such postseason situations as last fall in Atlanta, when, in a National League division series, he walked Reed Johnson to pitch to Jason Heyward in a Game 2 loss to the Braves. Then there was his decision to pinch-run for Adrian Gonzalez in the eighth inning of a loss to the St. Louis Cardinals in the 13-inning opener of the Championship Series.
But overall they feel Mattingly, who has a 260-225 record with one division title in three years, is the best manager to lead baseball's highest-paid team through what is certain to be a drama-filled future. Mattingly can now navigate that future on firm footing, which is good, because he'll need it, beginning now.
This season's Dodgers are dealing with the expiring contracts of stars Clayton Kershaw and Hanley Ramirez. They are dealing with four star outfielders for three outfield spots. They are dealing with a schedule that begins with a series in Australia against the vengeful Arizona Diamondbacks and ends shortly after a 10-game trip in the middle of September.
This season's Dodgers are going to require the sort of unwavering vision that this contract gives their manager, and Mattingly will need that sort of vision if he has to bench Yasiel Puig for not paying attention, or replace closer Kenley Jansen with Brian Wilson, or pull Kershaw early from a game to protect his arm.
There are many tough choices ahead. Don Mattingly has always been unafraid to make those choices, but now he will be making them with the clear endorsement of his billion-dollar owners.
Donnie Baseball is now Donnie Boss.

Deep Roots in a Time of Frost
13th November 2014: Deep Roots in a Time of Frost published
Patrick Curry's new book, Deep Roots in a Time of Frost, Essays on Tolkien is now released. The new volume collects essays that were all previously published (some of them by us) but some of which may be difficult to track down, and which have never been released in one volume before.
In this collection of his published essays, Patrick Curry explores two themes in Tolkien's great work: enchantment, the Elves and Faërie, and the natural world of Middle-earth. He considers their different effects on both readers and literary critics, and brings to light the deep connections between these two subjects, as well as between them and Tolkien's ultimate concern ...

The Monster Specialist
18th September 2014: Sir Severus Le Brewse is back!
dward S. Louis' new book, The Monster Specialist is finally available. The book's Part 1, "Sir Severus le Brewse" was first published in 2005 by another publisher and is now republished by us in a single volume jointly with the previously unpublished parts 2 and 3, "Severus and the Two Kings" and "Lilava in Search of Severus".
The Monster Specialist tells the adventures of Sir Severus le Brewse and his lovely lady, Lilava, as they quest against monsters of all descriptions. In contrast to other knights, Severus is not keen to slay his monster opponents, but will seek out a more amicable solution wherever possible. But he is gradually drawn into a confrontation with his nemesis, King Abra, and through him into the darker events of the wider world and the conflict between Arthur and Mordred.
In the picture on the left below, the new book is shown alongside the original Sir Severus Le Brewse. On the right, the book is opened to show one of ten black and white illustrations by Anke Eissmann (click on pictures to enlarge).
A free download of the first two chapters is available here.
More information, including some high-profile reviews, can be found here.

Tolkien and Philosophy
16th July 2014: Announcing Tolkien and Philosophy
We are proud to announce a new publication, the 32nd of the Cormarë Series, Tolkien and Philosophy, edited by Roberto Arduini & Claudio A. Testi.
"Tolkien and Philosophy" is a theme that has not yet been studied with the "philological" accuracy and the textual knowledge that are required to avoid squeezing the Professor's works inside conceptual frameworks that, rather than exposing their intrinsic value, risk losing both their profound meaning and their inherent beauty. What is the relationship between Tolkien's work and Philosophy? The question, if taken seriously, is by no means trivial. For these reasons we wish this book to become, in both method and content, an essential point of reference for anyone interested in better understanding the significant elements that sometimes link, sometimes divide, the "philologist" Tolkien from proper speculative philosophy.

Musik in Mittelerde
25th February 2014: Musik in Mittelerde published
We are pleased to announce that the German version of Music in Middle-earth is now published.
Musik in Mittelerde and Music in Middle-earth were produced as a joint effort by Edition Stein und Baum and Walking Tree Publishers, with those articles originally written in English translated into German and vice versa. Due to unforeseen delays, the German version could not be launched jointly with Music in Middle-earth as initially planned. However, we are very pleased to announce that Musik in Mittelerde is now available.
Musik in Mittelerde can be bought directly from Edition Stein und Baum (ISBN 978-3-932683-14-5).

In the Nameless Wood, Explorations in the Philological Hinterland of Tolkien's Literary Creations
11th September 2013: New book – In the Nameless Wood
Following in the footsteps of the previous publication, Tolkien's View: Windows into his World, Professor J.S. Ryan in this latest collection of essays pursues Professor Tolkien's narrow path through the Nameless Wood of uncharted territory between academic research and mythcreation culminating in the writing of the 20th century's masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings.
Having himself studied under Professor J.R.R. Tolkien and having written for no less than 50 years on his inspirational teacher, his sources and the applicability of his writings, J.S. Ryan is uniquely placed to reflect not only on Tolkien the Scholar or Tolkien the Author, but equally on Tolkien the Man. ... (more)

The nine articles of stimulating literary criticism collected in this volume view Tolkien's work from a variety of medieval perspectives: the device of entrelacement employed in Arthurian romances is used to throw light on the narrative design of The Lord of the Rings; the cultures of Middle-earth are described with the aid of medieval orality and literacy studies; the epic figure of the queen is recalled to reveal the significance of women in Tolkien's trilogy; the character of Éowyn is analyzed in terms of the epic warrior code and the romance chivalric ethos; the role of Elbereth is shown to ...

Tolkien's Poetry
2nd April 2013: New publication – Tolkien's Poetry
J.R.R. Tolkien is best known for his prose work, especially his novels The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Although there are many poems included in his novels that add depth to the narrative, Tolkien's talent as a writer of poetry has scarcely been appreciated and in-depth studies of Tolkien's verses are rare. This collection edited by Julian Eilmann and Allan Turner presents ten papers and an introduction by Michael Drout that deal with specific aspects of Tolkien's poetry. Some papers focus on one particular poem, while others examine a group of poems with a specific thematic approach [read more]
Tolkien's Poetry will be presented at the upcoming DTG conference (26-28 April, Aachen, Germany), but is already available from our booksellers.

Sub-creating Middle-earth – Constructions of Authorship and the Works of J.R.R. Tolkien
20th November 2012: New publication – Sub-creating Middle-earth
Authorship in the works of J.R.R. Tolkien is a subject of many facets. Within the mythology and history of Middle-earth, many story-tellers, bards, annalists and poets contribute to the weaving of an enormous tapestry of tales. Sub-creation, as Tolkien practiced it, involves an abundance of traditions, including different modes of authorship and literary creation – and some depart strikingly from the common modern notions. Instead of proposing a unified perception, the six articles in this collection therefore examine the web of authorial presence and authorship concepts in Tolkien's works from diverse angles, to trace a polyphonous dialogue between the writer of the texts and the many voices within that shape Middle-earth in concert.

Wagner and Tolkien: Mythmakers
20th June 2012: New publication – Wagner and Tolkien, Mythmakers
"Both Rings were round and there the resemblance ceases", wrote J.R.R. Tolkien about the rings in his epic The Lord of the Rings and Richard Wagner's opera cycle The Ring of the Nibelung. Or did he? The answer is not as straightforward as many Tolkien fans believe, whether they agree with the statement or consider it misguided. Nor is the statement itself as transparently defensive as some Wagner buffs suggest.
Much has been said and written about Wagner and Tolkien, a subject that tends to generate a certain amount of heat, mostly due to the former's controversial status as Hitler's favourite composer. But until now the various, often contradictory opinions and the facts and perceptions on which they are based were rarely discussed at length or analysed in depth. [read more]

5 Ways To Provide Excellent Customer Service Classes
An integral part of a job lies in customer service. It should not just be seen as an extension of our job. The most vital asset to a company is its customers. With them, businesses would cease to exist. When customers are satisfied, they not only help our business grow by continuing their relationship with us, but they will soon be recommending the business to their friends and associates. No matter what kind of job you have or what your aspirations are, one of the best skills you can cultivate is excellent customer service. Keeping customers happy may happen to be a mainstay of your customer service job. No matter if you deal with them in person, on the telephone or online, this is not something that is simple to do. You will find that when you have an unreasonable customer, it may be very easy to give in to them. However, if you are a good customer service representative, this is not an option. Below are some customer service pointers for you to consider no matter who you are dealing with.
Customer Service 1. Smile!
Even if a customer is on the telephone and cannot see you, they can always detect a smile even in your voice. A smile is a set of muscle movements that your body associates with happiness. You can feel your spirits lift when you smile. A smile will put your customers at ease so that they will be more comfortable and open with you in the future.
Customer Service 2. Be as friendly as your schedule allows If you have to talk a person through something, you will find that there is some 'down time' between when your computer is processing and when you can resume your business. Take time to be friendly and chat with your customer and ask how their day is going. A customer is usually pleasantly surprised when this is asked by a stranger. You will find that this will make it a great deal easier to deal with this customer in the future.
Customer Service 3. Do as much as you can for them
We all know that the time comes when we have to say 'No' to a customer. This is not ideal, even if the customer is gracious about it. If you cannot go about giving them what they want, you can still give them something no matter if it is another option to try again or just a coupon. Make sure that your customer always leaves with something. This is not only great for your customers but is a good business practice as well.
Customer Service 4. Get personal
Whether you have an email response set up, or you can simply put a work order through, you'll find that something as simple as calling your customer and reassuring them that things are going smoothly is a good way to make a connection. You'll find that if you are able to give them at least a voice to put to the message, they'll be much easier to work with.
Customer Service 5. Keep your promises.
If you say that you will do it, then you need to do it! While you can always say things like 'I'll check to see if that's possible,' or 'I'm not sure, but I'll ask for you,' if you say, 'Yes, this can happen,' you need to make sure that it does. Even if you are simply calling back to check in, you'll find that keeping promises is an extremely important part of customer service.

To the winners go the spoils, but the Oakland A's are making us all feel like winners. The A's awarded a full playoff share worth $34,325.16 to charity on Monday, reportedly at the behest of new Red Sox outfielder Jonny Gomes. According to the San Francisco Chronicle's Susan Slusser, Gomes suggested that the A's set aside a full share of their playoff winnings for charity, and his teammates unanimously agreed. Gomes, who has a reputation as a good clubhouse guy, is only going to reinforce that belief with more actions like this as he prepares for the next two years in Boston with the Sox. Major League Baseball awarded playoff shares to the 10 lucky clubs who qualified for the postseason on Monday, with the World Series champion San Francisco Giants each earning $377,002.64. The players vote on who to dole out full and partial shares to, which normally is used to judge a reflection of a player's impact on the team despite only participating for only part of a year. For the A's, however, the impact will be felt beyond the clubhouse.

Irvine, CA (PRWEB) July 17, 2014
DrSkinSpa.com, a top-tier skin care web-based store, places its primary focus on bringing clinically tested, skin care innovations made with naturally-derived ingredients. The company proudly markets an extensive line of natural and effective anti-wrinkle aging skin care products. Anti-aging skin care serums are just one of the many categories of body products sold here, and DrSkinSpa.com has just added Elemis Spa at Home Frangipani Monoi Body Oil, 3.4 oz. to its product line.
Elemis Spa at Home Frangipani Monoi Body Oil, 3.4 oz., uses a form of cocusnucifera (coconut oil) derived from the tropical regions of the world. This is Monoi, a moisturizing humectant from Polynesia that helps the skin retain water. It is made by soaking Tiare Tahiti blossoms in coconut oil. It has nutrients that help the skin diminish scarring, such as those found from acne or stretch marks from pregnancy, for example. This ingredient also has anti-bacterial activities and can remove toxins from skin, alleviating blemishes. It also works as a mild exfoliant, ridding the skin of the surface layer of dead cells in order to smooth and enlighten. This natural plant extract in Elemis Spa at Home Frangipani Monoi Body Oil, 3.4 oz., also aids in wrinkle care as it prevents premature skin aging.
The fragrance of Elemis Spa at Home Frangipani Monoi Body Oil, 3.4 oz., comes from the tropical plant species, Plumeriarubra, also called Frangipani. It has a sweet smell with soft fruity notes and a more heavy flowery scent with slight musky undertones. Overall, the fragrance is quite complex and sensual. The Frangipani plant has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Its fragrance evokes calm and euphoria as it soothes skin for a complete spa experience at home.
Dr. FaridMostamand, owner of DrSkinSpa.com, says, "Elemis Spa at Home Frangipani Monoi Body Oil, 3.4 oz., gives skin a silky feeling and extreme moisturization. But it is not only for use on the skin. The Elemis Spa at Home Frangipani Monoi Body Oil, 3.4 oz., can also be used to great benefit on hair, nails and the feet to nurture and protect with an exotic fragrance."
DrSkinSpa.com is doctor-operated and owned. The company studies and chooses for sale only the finest products, with clinically proven and natural ingredients. DrSkinSpa.com extends to customers a two-week money-back guarantee for every product sold on their web site. The site also provides customers with a 120% price protection warranty in addition to no cost shipping. Complimentary aesthetician consultations are also available. DrSkinSpa.com is owned by Crescent Health Center and is based in Anaheim, California.

If not for NCLC's history of advocacy Americans would not enjoy many of the basic consumer protections we now take for granted.
- The Credit Card Reform Law is bringing consumers real relief from years of abusive, confusing fine print, junk fees, and penalty charges from the credit card industry. NCLC played a key role in advising lawmakers and pushing important reforms that have eliminated many of the worst credit card abuses, especially on retroactive interest rates, fee harvester charges, interest on payment balances, and reasonable penalty fees.
- After years of advocacy by NCLC and a widely circulated NCLC investigative report that brought national attention to financial scams aimed at military personnel and veterans, Congress passed a law placing a 36 percent interest rate cap on certain loans made to active duty members of the armed forces and their dependents.
- NCLC and a team of attorneys obtained injunctive relief settlements that essentially reversed the presumption of non-dischargeability that the three major credit reporting agencies had been applying to debts that were almost always automatically discharged in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
- As co-counsel in a series of national class action lawsuits brought under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, NCLC helped to transform car financing practices across the car financing industry. The suits charged some of the country's largest auto finance companies and banks with maintaining policies that permitted car dealers to mark-up loan finance rates based on subjective criteria unrelated to credit-worthiness, a policy that had a disparate impact on African-American and Hispanic customers. The lawsuits put an end to discriminatory loan practices that had operated secretly for over 75 years that had resulted in higher-interest rate car loans for minorities.
- The 2003 Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act contained significant amendments to the Fair Credit Reporting Act on a broad range of topics. NCLC focused, in particular, on important gains for consumers in advancing the accuracy of furnisher reports, ensuring the meaningfulness of risk-based pricing notice, and ensuring that debt collectors were not permitted to avoid requirements of the Act.
- We take special pride in our leadership role in the development of consumer law as an area of legal expertise - and in the increasing numbers of attorneys who practice in this field. The National Association of Consumer Attorneys, for example, was conceived at one of NCLC's national conferences. We look with much satisfaction at the increasing legal resources NCLC has helped to make available on behalf of low-income consumers.
- We made certain that the Truth in Lending Act and Regulation Z were there for consumers by defending them from numerous attempts to undercut their effectiveness.
- NCLC's design and evaluation of affordable energy programs for low-income consumers were critical to making them a reality. We were the primary advocate for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and pioneered the Percentage of Payment Plan (PIPP) that targeted LIHEAP funds to those households most in need.
- Our leadership and shocking report on home improvement and second mortgage abuses led to the enactment of the Home Ownership & Equity Protection Act of 1994 and legal remedies for thousands of unsophisticated homeowners who risked losing their homes because of equity skimming scams.
- Our expert testimony was crucial to the court's decision that a loan is unconscionable where repeated financings are structured for the benefit of the lender in Besta v. Beneficial Loan Co.
- We set the standard for third party debt collection with our Model Consumer Credit Code that was the foundation for the federal Fair Debt Collections Practices Act and the credit codes of Wisconsin, West Virginia, and Iowa.
- NCLC led the way in training attorneys in the practice of consumer law by publishing our NCLC Consumer Law Manual in 1971, and now publishes an 18-volume Consumer Credit and Sales Legal Practice Series for attorneys, and numerous consumer books for consumers and advocates. Since our first National Consumer Law Specialist Conference in 1976, thousands of attorneys have attended our trainings, workshops, and at what is now the largest annual consumer law conference in the country.
- NCLC made sure the FTC's Credit Practice Rules abolished many of the most outrageous, commonplace creditor abuses consumers were experiencing.
- We led the fight for the FTC's Holder in Due Course Rule that removed many of the obstructions consumers faced when seeking relief from creditors and forced financiers to take responsibility for policing the market.
- The most fundamental of protections - due process - has not always been available to consumers. NCLC played a key role in the courts' recognition of due process in consumer cases. Our participation in Swarb v. Lennox, Fuentes v. Shevin, and Memphis Light, Gas & Water Division v. Craft was critical to the development of consumer due process.
Although NCLC's achievements are many, there is much yet to be done. We must both guard those rights consumers already have and seek new marketplace protections for emerging problems.

The White Tecumseh: A Biography of General William T. Sherman
Wiley, Apr 9, 1997 - History - 496 pages
"Extraordinarily readable." --Paul D. Casdorph, author of Jackson and Lee
Best remembered as the man who burned Atlanta and marched his army to the sea, cutting a swath of destruction through Georgia, William Tecumseh Sherman remains one of the most vital figures in Civil War annals. In The White Tecumseh, Stanley Hirshson has crafted a beautiful and rigorous work of scholarship, the only life of Sherman to draw on regimental histories and testimonies by the general's own men. What emerges is a landmark portrait of a brilliant but tormented soul, haunted by a family legacy of mental illness and relentlessly driven to realize a powerful military ambition.
"Sympathetic yet excellent . . . insight into how Sherman's own troops felt about him and his relationships with fellow generals, especially Grant. . . . Highly recommended." --Library Journal

1998 TVR Chimaera 4.0 from UK and Ireland
Only a couple of minor things, the windscreen wiper motor needed replacing along with the oil pressure gauge - both under warranty.
General Comments:
From the moment I drove it out of the show room the car has just got better and better. Yes it's had a few annoying little problems, but the sound of the engine, the handling and performance out weigh any such gremlins.
I've been bitten back once in the wet, a quick spin by over use of my right foot! I was warned to respect it in the wet however.
In the dry nothing can beat it especially on an open country road.
Other than that I use it every day, with a fuel consumption better than my V6 Golf and a boot big enough for 3 sets of clubs it's brilliant.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Chinese oil giant acquires Canada's Nexen
ALBERTA, Canada — China National Offshore Oil Co. (CNOOC) has reached an agreement to acquire Alberta-based oil and gas producer Nexen Inc. in a transaction valued at $15.1 billion.
According to a press release, Nexen will complement CNOOC Limited''s large offshore production footprint in China and extends CNOOC Limited''s global presence with a high-quality asset base in many of the world''s most significant producing regions — including Western Canada, the U.K. North Sea, the Gulf of Mexico and offshore Nigeria — focused on conventional oil and gas, oil sands and shale gas.
"The acquisition reflects our strong belief in Nexen''s rich and diverse portfolio of assets and world-class management and employees," said Wang Yilin, chairman of CNOOC Limited. "This is an exciting opportunity for us to build on our existing joint venture relationship with Nexen in Canada, and to acquire a leading international platform in the process.

Over the life of the Adventure 40 several commenters have lamented that the boat, as envisioned, does not bring back the halcyon days of the 1970s when more people could afford an offshore boat…or at least that's how the argument goes.
But in fact, the Adventure 40 would be very competitive when priced against boats built in 1975 since even US$200,000 in today's dollars would be equivalent to just $50,000 back then.
By way of comparison, in 1975 an Allied Seawind Ketch, pictured above, cost US$75,000 (just over US$300,000 in 2010 dollars) for a substantially smaller and dramatically slower boat. And if the Adventure 40 is built the way I'm thinking, it will be both stronger and cheaper to maintain than the Seawind.
Of course the Adventure 40 won't fix the erosion of real wealth in the boat's target market (the middle class) caused by 40 years of government mismanagement, excessive debt, crazed consumption and unregulated greed, but she might make a nice way to take a break from that reality.
Sign-up if you are seriously interested in buying an Adventure 40.

Amphibious vehicles have made appearances in the movies, allowing more than one hero to travel through land and water in pursuit of, or being pursued by, the bad guys. One of its most notable appearances was as James Bond's vehicle, the amphibious Lotus Esprit. Those who've watched him zoom by in this vehicle has surely thought how cool it would be to own one.
The designers of Gibbs Sports Amphibians were probably part of those that thought the same. They took this idea and thought that they can also do this in real life – and so, the QuadSki was born.
The unique and extraordinarily cool QuadSki was revealed in Detroit. It is a single-seat ATV (all-terrain vehicle) that also has the ability to travel over water, which takes the term "all-terrain" up a notch.
Riders on the QuadSki can ride the vehicle from land into the water, where the QuadSki's wheels fold up into the wells for what is assumed would be better hydro-dynamics.
The QuadSki is powered by a 1.3-liter four-cylinder motorcycle engine that was sourced from well-renowned automobile manufacturer BMW. It can go a respectable maximum speed of 45 mph on both land and water. However, the vehicle likely won't fit in a pick-up bed or a roof rack, as it weighs 1,300 pounds and is 10.5 feet long.
Manufacturing and sales of the QuadSki begins next month, so those who are interested to own the once fictional vehicle will not have long to wait. The QuadSki will come in the colors of black, silver, yellow, red, and blue.
The price? There is no final figure out just yet, but Gibbs estimates that it would cost customers around $40,000 to own one. Its in a different price range than your regular ATV or Jet Ski for sure, but it isn't a regular vehicle by any means anyway.

Shame. I could definitely see you in that sort of role. Making witticisms off the fly seems to be your forte and that sort of talent is what I could listen to and never get bored with. If I've planted seeds of interest in your head with this new prospect, you could always pull a Boogeyman and lie about your resume.
Can't say as that I've ever put any thought into that.
Considering that I've been out of school for almost a decade now and done absolutely nothing in broadcasting, I'd say I'd have about as likely a chance of doing that as I do joining the roster of in-ring performers.
Have you ever considered becoming a WWE commentator? With your journalism background, it might help you out.
No problem. Thanks for resolving the issue peacefully.
Yeah, it was just a mix-up that's been all sorted out. Cool of you to vouch for him ,though.
According to this, as long as I'm well versed in a user's history, I can stick up for them in case they get banned. I was wondering if that was okay with kingblingbla. He's not a bad dude. Trust me.
Nah, I can think of, like, a half-dozen other comic book/superhero movies that are just as good (or maybe even better).
There's no real benefit to being so absolute, anyways. Art shouldn't be treated like a sack race.
Those are my exact thoughts to a tee. But since we both agree the Spider-Man 2's the best of them, would you go even further and say it's the best superhero movie of all time?
Yeah, Spiderman 2 is far and away the best Spiderman movie thus far (the direction is absolutely aces, and it's the only one thus far to have a villain that's really better than just serviceable). I'd put the first movie and TASM as being about on the same level of good (though they have entirely different strengths), whereas I don't really have any use whatsoever for Spiderman 3 (I'd rather pretend that movie never even happened).

Everything, very pleasant staff, great room, good price.
The hotel is in the best location for visiting Pamplona. It is a mere 5 minute walk (if that) to the bull running course and located directly behind a park where there is lots of entertainment during San fermin. Very competitively priced too.
Breakfast was absolutely horrid and ridiculously overpriced. The eggs were salty and there was no bread to make toast. I didn't eat much at all through lack of options. I then received the bill which came to a disgraceful 25 euros per person!
Close to the bus station and old town but away from the noise. Good Wifi. Nice sheets and towels. Quiet room.

Journal Indexing Project Update - Nov 2014
Update - 13 Nov 2014: over 10,000 more Names and over 2,000 Places have been added. The structure of how these indexes are accessed has been changed, using a table format rather than a page with a list of downloadable documents. Each entry in the table will open a pdf file in a new browser window. It is hoped this will make it less cumbersome for researchers. (The previous method is still available on the main Publications page.)
Access the online index from the main menu, under Publications > NCGS Journal > NCGS Journal Index. Currently, the total is 40,342 Name entries and 5,154 Place entries.
NCGS Journal - November 2014
The latest issue of the NCGS Journal (Vol. 40, No. 4) is now available. Remember, you must be logged in as a member to access it. The print edition should be mailed out early in November.

North Carolinians were active participants in the Revolutionary War, providing men, supplies, and support for the revolutionary cause. Records were created before, during, and after the war. There is more to research than compiled military service records and pension application files, such as public claims, pension ledgers, and pension payment vouchers. Records are found in the National Archives, Ancestry.com, Fold3.com, the State Library and Archives, and in some unexpected places. Clues to information on ancestors and descendants can be found in the lineage application papers of the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Sons of the American Revolution.

Taxation in the Americas began within the colonies for the crown. By the time, the constitution was written in 1787, all colonies were taxing citizens on property, capitation (head), livestock, and other properties. The constitution gave specific authority to the state to levy and collect taxes. For purposes of our discussion, we will focus on the levy on people (poll tax), property and other personalty (personal property).
