I've been following 98B's FB page for a while and I've been eyeing their Monthly Market over at Escolta. With 98B being an independent artist-run initiative, I could only imagine the selection of items being sold (or in this case, the concessionaires they've allowed to sell at their Market). I was expecting nothing less than interesting, and I'm glad I wasn't disappointed.
July 2015 in Plays: Kung Paano ako Naging Leading Lady and No Filter: Let's talk about me
On Kung Paano ako Naging Leading Lady
- Managed to catch the last few runs of it in Greenbelt OnStage
- Was hoping to watch Bituin Escalante in the starring role but I get to watch Frenchie Dy instead.
- Frenchie's not bad, but I was hoping for an intense performance. She was quite believable as the good ate though.
- I actually liked Markki Stroem's performance as Leading Man. He plays the naive and earnest Inglisero Amboy convincingly – it was natural that Mely (Frenchie Dy's character) would really be friends with him.
- I really thought Vincent De Jesus played Senor Blanco – but it was someone by the name of Domi Espejo – benta sakin yung grammar punchlines niya.
- A month from watching the play, I could still recall Buhay Basahan and Kayumanggilas 's melody, but I can't say the same for the other songs. Not sure if I wasn't paying attention or if the songs sounded the same to me.
- "We have a maiiiiid!!" was one of the more awkward singing parts in Kung Paano ako Naging Leading Lady – at least for me personally.
- The code switching between Filipino and English was off-putting
On No Filter: Let's talk about Me
- I LOVED IT. Seriously. I doubt however if the parents and older people watching it with me at the Carlos P. Romulo Auditorium fully appreciated it since it mostly talks about Millennial Issues.
- I say this because considering the humor alone, I'm not sure if people outside the Millennial crowd get the skits about Tinder, the 5 people in an Instagram Picture, the Apps segment. It was written by Millennials and I think I really get the humor – I enjoyed every second of it.
- Much as I enjoyed it however, I can't help but think that the play is so burgis. All the themes discussed in the play wouldn't come to a person's mind if that person came from the lower income classes. Social Media Activism, the Icarus segment: i.e. Don't fly too high lest your wings melt off not Don't fly too low lest the waves swallow you whole, people who are trying to eke a living everyday – even if their ages will allow them to be considered a 'Millennial – just have no time to have these concerns. Can't help but think that people having these concerns are "privileged" in a way.
Cinemalaya X 2014 (Day 2): Dagitab, #Y – Generation Gap
Generation Gap is the wittiest thing that I could come up with right now regarding these two films that I've watched in today's Cinemalaya lineup. On one hand you have the story of two married UP professors in their midlives dealing with their issues in Giancarlo Abrahan's Dagitab, and on the other you have the the story of a teenager in crisis in Gino Santos' #Y. Both however are stories of personal struggle, albeit on the different points in one's life. One story ends with hope, and another ends tragically (Or did it? It will make you wonder, but I'm getting ahead of myself) – [SPOILER ALERT, by the way]
Cinemalaya X 2014 (Day 1): Kasal, The Janitor – Medyo Stress. Medyo lang.
On Jose Altarejos' Kasal (Directors Showcase):
On this year's Summer Komikon 2014
And I'm back! Been finding a reason to blog again after the office shenanigans, and this looks like the perfect opportunity to do so!
The last time I attended Komikon was way back 2012, and I missed it a bit. Primarily, I think it was that I didn't find enough motivation to go last year as compared to this year. This year, I was set on getting interesting titles: the Abangan Anthology, Manix's 10th Kikomachine Book, Tabi Po in its full color glory, and Eliza Victoria's Project 17 (which is technically not a comic, but since it was on sale, I thought of including it). Hence, I think I went to Komikon just to make Visprint rich, but I digress.
Another reason was to catch Arnold Arre's Animation Short, Milkyboy. I haven't seen any venues where this will be shown, and once the Komikon FB page announced that they'll be showing Andong Agimat and Milkboy, I knew I had to come this year.
MMFF 2013 Film #1: 10000 Hours
To put it simply: I loved it, and I'm glad I watched this first among this year's entries.
- The action scenes are not exactly as flashy as say, Asiong Salonga. Probably Not too artsy as OTJ. It's not overly stated. It's grey and gritty, but it kept me on my toes. Even though it was just a very long chase sequence at the end. It was crawling. The music probably helped.
- I haven't watched that much Joyce Bernal films, but I think she was allowed to be creative on this one with the handheld camera shots, the CCTV-like scenes, that Manila Day-to-Night shot transition, and it was fresh seeing things like those in an MMFF entry.
- Don't get me started on the casting. It's like they got the characters downright pat: Mylene Dizon as the wife, the casting of the Senator's kids, even the Madam President character and her Busangot-ness and her generals – not your typical contrabida faces, but unmistakably sinister. Bela Padilla as the spunky reporter Myra Limchauco was a surprise, and I wouldn't dismiss her again as another token Kapuso talent. Carla Humpries as the former Kidnap Victim turned diplomat was also a nice casting choice.
- But mehn, Pen Medina was it. Very generous with the cursing, and I loved it! Ang lutong mehn. He was very colloquial and very believable, like he's some street-hardened thug you could run into when you're walking down an alley in Manila.
- Alchris Galura. Even though he had a small role. That is all. (HAHAHAHAHA)
- Robin Padilla probably looks too fresh to be a seasoned Cop in his 50s (?) – it is a film loosely based on Panfilo Lacson's life – but he did well with the action scenes and his acting is okay so I guess I could live with it
- Speaking of acting, everything was subdued. No overly dramatic and dragging iyakan scenes in here. Which is the best.
- There were subplots which helpfully peppered the Main story. Without these scenes, it would've been just a fugitive story and it would've been boring if they weren't around. Myra Limchauco's plot rounded everything up nicely in the end.
- It would've looked cool if they've gone with the whole typography treatment – especially with the Newspaper headline clip scenes, but that's just me nitpicking
- The opening credits looked cool, even though it's just letters
- It really makes me wonder how much of the story is really fictional. So was there a reporter that helped Sen.Lacson when he was hiding and knew the whole story? Whatever that was?
- If there's a phrase that sums the movie for me, it's this. Just Right. The right amount of acting. The right amount of action (and humor, yes there were light moments). The right amount of holding back when you could've gone wild with the drama and the action scenes. And everything just, works.
Connoisseur Travels: The Farm at San Benito for the Non-Shushal (Being There)
So I arrived at The Farm around noon of Tuesday. I even remembered being greeted "Hello" by a caucasian foreign guest together with the staff once I approached the reception desk. The reception area reminded me of Japanese houses with adjoined rooms and no doors, while the interiors made me recall Manila's Coconut Palace, only Breezier as there weren't really doors that separate one room from another. I was immediately attended to by the reception staff, and the shuttle service that was supposed to pick me up was calling to check where I was (I hope I didn't keep them waiting). Fresh coconut juice served to me while the map of the resort and the day's activities were explained. Afterwards, I was escorted to one of the Sulu Terraces, which will be my room for the next 2 nights. Ms. Lally, the receptionist that I met on the way to the resort, carried my bag through the tastefully landscaped walkway.
It was awfully quiet, which prompted me to ask her if I arrived in the middle of the Resort's off-peak season. She said that the only way one can know if there were a lot of guests is when they start to arrive in droves in the reception area. After the guests disappear into their separate villas, you wouldn't even know if there are guests in the first place since the place was so vast. Staying there for almost 3 days, I had to agree. The only time I would run into people was when I eat Breakfast and Afternoon Snacks.
The cheapest rooms in The Farm are the Sulu Terraces, and staying in one was like having your own treehouse. The bath is located downstairs, separate from the room, and has an adjoining meditation pavilion.
The room was spacious enough for two people, and since I was alone, it was roomy enough for me. It was air-conditioned, had an electric kettle and a hair blower (which I used and abused, it's amazing how hair dryers do wonders for your hair!), bedroom slippers, your own safe, your own drinking water supply dispensed from a beehive looking glass container (very tasteful), and most importantly, a box of herbal tea and fruit basket. Now why are were the last two things important? Because you can get by dinnertime eating only this, and you wouldn't have to spend for dinner, that is, if you're keen on minimizing spending. And they also give every guest their own mini bayong where you can put your valuables in and carry it like a handbag, and the guest can take it home.
This is how the room looked like during the evening. Lighting really is a factor for interiors. I felt like I was staying in a posh hotel room.
Side story: I got really scared during the first night, because I started reading American Gods and someone in the story died and I started thinking about death and realized that I was really alone in the area, and nobody will know if ever something bad happened to me. Then there was a sudden sound, like someone was knocking or croaking but I didn't see anyone by the window. The knocking sounds were then replaced by "tu-ku", "tu-ku". Fuck, that was the first time I heard a tuko in my life, and it was eerie. Every night it'll do the same knocking sound followed by the tuku sound, so I got used to it.
The view from the door. Seems like I'm only person staying in the terraces for the day.
After arriving, my first urge was to inspect everything. Didn't really take a picture of the bath, but I was impressed how clean and complete it was. No visible grimes. The toilet had a bidet, no need for the friendly Filipino tabo. There were bath towels, hand towels, bathrobes, cotton buds, cotton balls, and organic toiletries made from coconut oil, which the resort also produces. The shower had hot and cold water, and it was running perfectly.
Each Sulu Terrace has its own Meditation Pavilion like this one. The other Sulu terraces have larger meditation pavilions, but I figured that this was given to me since I was alone anyway. I wrote journal entries here for about an hour after exploring the place. Probably due to Typhoon Maring's remnants, it got really windy and leaves and insects and water were being blown to my face, so I had to run upstairs and continue it.

'Bye Bye Brussels!' – Britain Votes to Leave the EUFriday, June 24th, 2016
British citizens are done with being one of many — 28, to be precise — and they made their views clear in a referendum Thursday with a vote to leave the European Union.
They wanted their borders back, their own British Pound Sterling, thank you, and the safety of being able to make their own security decisions.
The vote was called late Thursday night at 52 percent in favor of 'Brexit' as the leaving was called, and 48 percent against, according to ITV and the BBC.
Prime Minister David Cameron, who said his position would be 'untenable' if the country chose not to remain within the EU, now finds himself having to decide his next move. Cameron had warned there would be "no turning back" if the UK were to separate itself from the European body, looking at the impact on banks and other financial institutions as well as other issues.
UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage described a poster showing a line of asylum seekers as "a statement about the whole of the European Union," according to CNN. Farage delivered a victory speech to supporters upon hearing the news of the final results at a polling station in Birmingham.
The 'victory' may be a bit premature, however: Scotland warned from the outset that should England decide to leave the EU, the decision would launch a discussion about whether or not to hold another referendum on whether or not to secede from the United Kingdom.
Should Scotland vote for independence, the UK decision to leave the European Union — which may ultimately lead to the disintegration of the EU — will have led to its own dissolution as well.
Analysts around the world are now weighing the effect of the British decision on the world economy and it impacts individual nations along with their currencies, pension funds and banking systems. It is also not clear what effect this will have on the British Jewish community both in the United Kingdom and abroad.
In trading Thursday night, the British pound Sterling fell against the U.S. dollar and against the euro; however, the euro fell against the Japanese yen as well. All three stock markets dropped, and were set to open lower on Friday.
Political leaders in Europe are now deeply concerned that the split that exists in England may continue to divide other member states in the EU, prompting them to leave as well and perhaps lead to the dissolution of the entire European body.Hana Levi Julian

Bittersweet: Bait-averse cockroaches shudder at sugar
Date posted:
Sugar isn't always sweet to German cockroaches, especially to the ones that avoid roach baits.
In a study published May 24 in the journal Science, North Carolina State University entomologists show the neural mechanism behind the aversion to glucose, the simple sugar that is a popular ingredient in roach-bait poison. Glucose sets off bitter receptors in roach taste buds, causing roaches to avoid foods that bring on this taste-bud reaction.

National Immunization Awareness Month (NIAM), occurring every August, is a time to reflect on the many successes of vaccines, and the many challenges presented by vaccine-preventable diseases. On our NIAM website, we have a number of resources that you, your loved ones, and your patients can use to fully understand the protection provided by recommended vaccines.
Learn More about NIAM 2016
August is back-to-school month, and DSHS regularly receives questions relating to this topic. Below are some informational resources to answer some of the most common requests.
The DSHS Immunization Unit hosted the
2016 Texas Perinatal Hepatitis B Summit from July 19-20, 2016, in Austin, Texas. The Summit featured national and state experts presenting on a variety of hepatitis B topics, including recommend strategies to improve immunization rates.
Speaker presentations are available at the 2016 Perinatal Hepatitis B Summit webpage.
Senate Bill 200, 84th Legislature, Regular Session, 2015, charged the Health and Human Services Commission with developing a strategic plan to significantly reduce morbidity and mortality from human papillomavirus (HPV) associated cancer.
On June 3, 2016 Texas DSHS and HHSC conducted a public hearing to present the HPV strategic plan to stakeholders and the public, answer questions from those in attendance and collect public comments regarding HPV prevention, diagnosis and treatment.
The Texas Vaccines for Children (TVFC) Program was notified on November 30, 2015, by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention regarding a temporary manufacturing delay of Sanofi Pastuer's Pentacel® vaccine (Diphtheria and Tetanus Toxoids and Acellular Pertussis Adsorbed, Inactivated Poliovirus and Haemophilus b Conjugate Vaccine). The vaccine delay will result in immediate vaccine allocation of this project to all VFC programs nationwide. The vaccine delay is anticipated to last through the summer of 2016.
In order to ensure that all TVFC providers have access to this vaccine over the next few months, TVFC provider Maximum Stock Levels (MSLs) for Pentacel® will be reduced immediately. However, further vaccine allocation reductions could be implemented based on manufacture and CDC guidance.
Options to reduce the use of Pentacel® include the use of single vaccines for some populations and the use of alternative combination vaccines. Providers should continue to follow the recommended immunization schedule and ensure that patients receive all recommended doses of DTaP, Hib, and polio vaccines.

What does "beats" mean, in music?
I keep hearing others referring to "sick beats", or something similar, when describing certain music tracks. Every time I ask for an explanation of what "beats" means, I get a lot of hand waving and no satisfactory answer. I always took "beat" to mean a temporal unit that defines a discrete chunk of time. For example a 4/4 will have four beats, and so on. I thought it might have something to do with the rhythm of a track, but apparently it doesn't quite mean this ("beat" might mean this, but "beats" seems to mean something different). I've tried looking on google, but coming up surprisingly thin. Is this a bullshit term, or does it have a useful meaning?
Is there a name for this musical theme?
Is there a musical term for a very quick burst of strings in a song? Popular/dance music mainly, sounds very 80s. A couple of examples inside. [more inside]
What's the term for this vocal style?
What's the term for the vocal style in the bit from 0:55 to 1:18 in this cover of Happy?
What is this key change?
In More Than a Feeling, the chorus, a simple I IV iv V (G C e D), finished off with an Eb chord - totally not in the key - and then transitioning to em7. What is this transition to Eb, which is not at all part of the key of G, called?
Once / When I was little someone pointed out to me
In music, is there a term for when a vocalist starts singing (solo) and then the rest of the band starts playing a bar or two later? Also, what are some other songs that use this technique? [more inside]
When is a cover song not a cover song?
Is it still, technically, a cover song when the original songwriter records a track that they wrote for someone else? [more inside]
Songs with overlapping verses?
What is the musical term for songs that feature overlapping or simultaneous verses? The only two examples that I can think of to illustrate what I'm talking about are "All for the Best" from Godspell and Irving Berlin's "You're in Love." Anyone ever come across a list of songs of this type, specifically songs from the world of musical theater?

Check out the first three comments. The woman said she doesn't read Arabic and asked if they could translate it, and whomever is managing that page answers in Arabic. Honest mistake but funny nevertheless!
Thanks Dory's Wife!
Lebanese media and journalists have become so unprofessional in this country that it's really hard to believe any of them. The above picture was apparently shared by an LBCI reporter called Maroun Nassif (I couldn't find the post though) about a weapons cache found in Saida, but someone made the link to one of Dan Bilzerian's pictures and the Lebanese-Forces website quickly posted it and trashed the journalist. The picture is indeed taken from Battlefield Vegas which is one of the largest shooting ranges in the US.
Assuming that the journalist did upload the photos, since there's always a possibility in Lebanon that someone photoshopped them in the first place, it's good to know that he deleted them. In all cases, here's a post to remind all journalist in Lebanon on how to verify is a picture is authentic or not.
On another note, the sad part from this story is that there are bigger weapon caches than the one above being found while the Lebanese Army is still waiting for the billions in supplies and equipment that they were promised.
The pictures are taken from Tripoli's Facebook page and the videos from LBCI. I don't know why the fights renewed after a long calm period but the only way to end this is for the Lebanese army to keep fighting the terrorists till they are all killed. It's as simple as that. They shouldn't listen to anyone.
Can anyone explain what is this about?
It's not the first time I see a TV anchor laughing for no reason during the news, but I don't think it was appropriate from Ameen Abou Yehya, who's apparently Lebanese, to upload the video of himself laughing since he was reporting tragic news from Syria.
Lebanese architect Amale Andraos has been appointed as the new dean of the Graduate School of Architecture, Preservation and Planning at Columbia University (GSAPP) in New York City and will assume the position on September 1, replacing Mark Wigley who announced his retirement last year.
Amale is presumably the first woman to become a dean at the school.
An associate professor at GSAPP and a principal at the New York-based firm WORKac, Andraos is a leading voice on urbanism and globalization, and related environmental and social concerns. She has worked on such noteworthy projects as the Blaffer Museum in Houston, the Children's Museum of the Arts in Manhattan, and the Edible Schoolyards at P.S. 216 in Brooklyn and P.S. 7 in Harlem.
Born in Beirut, Lebanon, Andraos earned an MArch degree from Harvard's Graduate School of Design in 1999, and later worked with celebrated architect Rem Koolhaas (GSD Professor in Practice of Architecture and Urban Design) at OMA in Rotterdam and New York.
"The GSD was the first instance of a truly open, diverse, global and engaged model of education I experienced," Andraos said. "It was the most formative in what I looked for later in practice and teaching, and I am looking forward to continuing to build a strong conversation between the GSAPP at Columbia and the GSD, at an exciting and important moment for the field." [Link]
Annahar is saying Brazil may call off the friendly game they had planned with Lebanon on September 4, mainly for security reasons.
Since this is just the Olympic team, I don't think they will need that much protection but safety comes first I guess. In all cases, I hope they will make because a lot of people are excited about this game in Beirut.
Mahmoud Bazzi was arrested 3 weeks ago by the US authorities and will be deported to Lebanon after he dropped his opposition during an immigration court hearing in downtown Detroit.
Bazzi has been living in Detroit for over 10 years now and used to work as an ice cream man. He will get away from his crime if he comes back to Lebanon unless he flies through Europe and gets arrested there. So far, he's been denying the charges and claiming that "he falsely confessed to the slayings because he feared a Lebanese militia would kill him unless he lied".
I wish we'd give that much importance to justice in this country instead of promoting killers to become political leaders and MPs.

Journalists all over the world, not just in Lebanon, are handling rumors in a much worse fashion than 10 or 20 years ago. Speaking of Lebanon, there isn't one single source I can follow blindly, and there are more and more competing news portals and websites that just want to get more hits by publishing unreliable information and unfounded news. Most of them depend on rumors and gossip which is quite sad.
Take for example the current Arsal battle between the Lebanese Army and Islamists whereas we're seeing so many fake pictures and videos of dead Islamists and army soldiers. There's even a video of a decapitated army soldier that's been shared that has nothing to do with the current fight and took place in Syria two weeks ago apparently. This led the Lebanese Army to issue an official statement asking everyone to verify their sources and stop sharing misleading information.
Rumors are Poison via @MagdaAbuFadil
This being said, check out this nice article on the HuffingtonPost were Media consultant Dalal Saoud, former Arab affairs editor at CNN and one-time reporter at LBC TV Octavia Nasr and Télé Liban talk show host Shada Omar share their opinions on this matter.
Special thanks to the author Magda Abu-Fadil for mentioning BlogBaladi in the article!

Josh Freeman Arrives in Minnesota; What Should the Vikings Do at Quarterback?
News broke late last night that former Tampa Bay quarterback Josh Freeman had agreed to join the Minnesota Vikings after being courted by several NFL teams. I was watching the Raiders, Chargers game when that scrolled across my screen and I instantly thought, "goodbye Ponder". But, is that what will happen?

Law signed a pre-contract agreement at Ibrox that will see him officially become a Rangers player when their transfer embargo expires on September 1. McCall could soon follow him out of the door after holding talks with the Blades over their vacant managerial role this week.
Law came through the ranks at Bramall Lane when McCall was a player/coach and then assistant to manager Neil Warnock. He then signed for McCall twice, on loan at Bradford and at Motherwell in 2011.
Motherwell secured third and second in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League and played in the Champions League qualifiers in the ensuing two years and Law is not surprised that the npower League One side have earmarked McCall as a candidate to replace Danny Wilson.
"I'm certainly not and particularly at Sheffield United with the ties he has there," said Law as he was unveiled as a Rangers player on Friday.
"With Stuart, wherever he goes, he seems to leave there as a legend.
"He was only at Sheffield United as a player for two or three seasons but I was there with him and he is really loved by everybody at that football club, and the fans as well.
"I'm not too sure about the situation. From Motherwell's perspective it would be a massive blow to lose Stuart McCall.
"He's the manager of the year in the SPL and everyone can see what a fantastic job he has done there. To be the best of the rest two years on the spin is a fantastic achievement.
"He's a fantastic manager and I'm sure he is going to go on to bigger and better things. Unfortunately for Motherwell at some point they will lose him. Whether that's now I don't know but I would have thought at some point they will."

UPDATE: "The Flash" Hasn't Cast Savitar, Says Berlanti
TV, Comic Books
Censorship | During a panel at Comic-Con International, members of the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund criticized a student's attempt to have four graphic novels banned from her college campus. Crafton Hills College student Tara Shultz and her father, Craig Shultz, have called for Fun Home, Persepolis, the first volume of Y: The Last Man, and the second volume of The Sandman, all of which were included in a course on the graphic novel as literature, to be removed not only from the course but also from the college bookstore. The school has refused. CBLDF director Charles Brownstein noted that this is part of a troubling new trend: Graphic novel challenges at the college level. The CBLDF has been involved in 18 college cases so far this year, up from 10 in all of 2014. [Redlands Daily Facts]
Creators | "Opus's [voice] came screaming back at me — true— when I faced those four empty panels that I hadn't done since 1989," cartoonist Berkeley Breathed told Michael Cavna, explaining why he is returning to his comic strip Bloom County after a lengthy absence. He also discusses the possibility of self-publishing rather than going with a newspaper syndicate: "Dead-tree media requires constancy and deadlines and guarantees. This flattens the joy. It also presents a huge income. It's an interesting trade-off, isn't it?" [Comic Riffs]
Commentary | David Brothers critiques Marvel's plans to publish hip-hop themed variant covers, given that none of the newly announced creators for Marvel titles are black. [i am davidbrothers dotcom]
Creators | Kate Beaton talks about her family, webcomics, princesses, and her pony character's guest appearance on Adventure Time. [Time]
In December of last year, brothers Ethan and Malachai Nicolle concocted Axe Cop and posted the first five episodes as webcomics in January 2010. A mixture of factors–including being declared Entertainment Weekly's Site of the Day as well asa deluge of Tweets (as well as getting praised by Robot 6's Sean T. Collins of course)–allowed the buzz to build on the webcomic fairly quickly. The stories (aptly described by Dark Horse as "We live in a strange world, and our strange problems call for strange heroes. That's why Axe Cop–along with his partner Flute Cop and their pet T. rex Wexter–is holding tryouts to build the greatest team of heroes ever assembled.") were collected and released by Dark Horse in Axe Cop Volume 1 last week. For those who have not heard about Axe Cop before, I kind of buried my lead regarding Ethan's co-creator and brother: Malachai is six years old. I recently email interviewed Ethan about the collected edition and the creative process to date as well as going forward, including the three-issue Axe Cop: Bad Guy Earth miniseries that launches in March 2011.
Tim O'Shea: It's clear that you are careful to make sure your co-creator/six-year-old brother Malachai enjoys the creative experience and does not get burned out. How hard is it to involve him in the process while at the same time not burdening him?
Ethan Nicolle: I simply have to work at his pace. If he is burdened he simply will not write… he is not like writers in comics or in Hollywood who are writing to try to put food on the table. In fact thing he is kind of weirded out that I am still asking him "so then what happens?" a year later. He is just playing, and if it doesn't feel like play, his short attention span will switch him to something else in an instant. Since most of our writing is done on the phone, I have to wait until he has some inspiration (usually after he has seen a movie or cartoon or has not noticed an update on the site recently). For the Bad Guy Earth series I actually went and spent an entire month with him writing it in person, and it was all based on a month of actual play time together doing fake car chases in my car, in his room playing with toy dinosaurs and going to the playground. I just kept bringing our narrative back into the playtime. He will say "we need to work, Ethan" but that's him saying "let's play". The word work means play to Malachai. He is learning early why so many people want to be writers and comic artists.

Third Home from Burma: Minnesota's Karen Community
Produced by Marisa Helms
The fastest-growing refugee community in Minnesota over the past few years is a population from Southeast Asia most Minnesotans have never heard of—the Karen (pronounced Kuh-RENN). The nearly 7,000 Karen living here, mostly on the east side of St. Paul, have kept a low profile since they first started arriving in 2000. Their journey to Minnesota has been long and difficult. The Karen are an oppressed ethnic minority from Burma, the country also known as Myanmar, and for more than 60 years, innocent Karen men, women and children have become displaced by violence and civil war. Like many refugees who come to Minnesota, the Karen are here because they want to be safe and free from persecution. Most importantly, they want to give their children a better life and a good education. As producer Marisa Helms reports in this MinneCulture audio documentary, the story of the Karen is about resilience and the survival of a community and culture. Here in Minnesota, the Karen have found refuge, and finally, hope for the future.

In complete honesty, it's nice seeing Winnie the Pooh. I loved the books as a child and today I can see how eloquent and profound Milne was. It's a shame that one often sees his quotes--like Shakespeare, Pope and Emerson--wrenched from their context and aphorized, though there is undeniable wisdom and power even in his smaller phrases and passages. That said, I really don't like Catcher in the Rye. I read it a few years back and found Caulfield unbearable.
I was at the bookstore the other day and was tempted to pick up Notes from the Underground but put it down; one of these days I will get to it! Since Dostoevsky is at the top of your list: have you explored the other great Russians? Tolstoy and Chekhov of course, but also the harrowing Isaac Babel, and the deeply moving and intelligent Turgenev.
- Login to post comments
Completely agree with what you said about Winnie the Pooh: it's amazing how simple the style is, and yet it doesn't feel empty at all. It's the most unpretentious thing ever.
Re Catcher in the Rye: Hard to explain what's so great about it. I didn't mind Caulfield being unbearable...can't think of anything else to say right now. Maybe I'll be able to explain better after a re-read.
Re Notes from Underground: That's a pity :P Hope you'll get it soon. As for other Russians, I have neglected them to a shameful degree. I might have read Tolstoy's novella The Death of Ivan Ilyich (not sure about the spelling) long ago, but I don't remember much about it now!
I'm reading Frankenstein these days, planning to read the short story House of Asterion (recommended to me by Zacharyyy above) soon, along with several novels: In the Lighthouse, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Fathers and Sons, etc. Need to revisit Shakespeare's plays as well: I read a few when I was quite young, and I'm sure I didn't get them all that well!

Henry James Sr is reported to have said--half-exasperatingly, half-admiringly--to his friend Ralph Waldo Emerson, "O you man without a handle!" I think this description could be profitably applied to Shakespeare. Every time I return to his texts there is almost a feeling of unfamiliarity: I notice something new, and feel like I understand less. In the Lighthouse is yet another text I've neglected!... I like A Portrait but prefer Ulysses and sections I've read of Dubliners. Fathers and Sons is a full blown masterpiece.
It's nice seeing a list about literature around here!
- Login to post comments
You're making me even more excited to get started with Shakespeare :D
I've been thinking about making a list similar to AfterHours' "albums and their movie equivalents" list, but with novels and their album equivalents (or vice versa?) Perhaps I should save it for when I've explored literature and music much more than now. Meanwhile, suggestions are welcome of course :)

Only nine novels above 8.0? It seems you are hard to please :P .
The only Dostoevsky novel I've read so far (unfortunately) is one of my favorites of all time: Brothers Karamazov. I think it's going to be at least a 9 for you.
Another recommendation: my favorite book of the ones I've read, including novels, poetry and theatre (around 80 shamefully), is also by a russian author: Mikhail Bulgakov. The novel is The Master and Margarita.

It's not high standards, but underexposure that accounts for that. My experience with literature roughly amounts to the equivalent of watching a bunch of Pixar movies. Thanks for the recommendations by the way; hopefully this year I'll be able to manage my time well and improve this lift significantly.

Yes to Chekhov! One of my favourites. I'm very interested in Olivier's Uncle Vanya... Sadly, I haven't seen any dramatizations of Chekhov's plays.
While I'm here, I recommend Coetzee's Waiting for the Barbarians. I just reread it the other day (literally, it's only ~150pgs) and it was absolutely astonishing. One of the greats.
- Login to post comments
It was depressing but a great read nonetheless. I'm also very interested in Olivier's version but I don't know where to find it. [What's your opinion of the Wilde play btw?]
Thanks a lot for the recommendation, I'll definitely look for it whenever I visit a bookstore!

I didn't enjoy Importance at all, but that may not be Wilde's fault entirely. I saw a National Theatre screening of it and the sound was poorly done; everything seemed too loud, and consequently grated to the point I considered walking out. Although I clearly understood everything, there is no doubt this aspect had a negative impact on the entire experience. That said, I didn't find it funny at all; the humour just seemed really dated. I don't even remember the specifics of the narrative very well.

You should try it! :P

I may do that once Ive brought my other lists to a better point of relative completeness.
- Login to post comments
Meaning you'll never do it because relative completeness is an illusion.
- Login to post comments
Maybe, maybe not. It's not my priority right now but maybe I'll get into it at a later point.
Relative completeness ... in other words: when I feel more complete about my lists and they're all caught up to a satisfactory degree. Not an illusion really, but maybe the idea of reading all those novels and poetry would be for me...

Last season, Jennifer George developed into one of the Southeastern Conference's elite players.
She is expected to lead the Gators again this season.
Tuesday, George was named a preseason First Team All-SEC honoree. She is the first Gator to earn the recognition since MarshaeDotsonprior to the 2008-2009 season.
"It was a big honor," George said. "I'm just trying to work hard and get my game to the highest I can."
After averaging less than seven points per game during her first two years at Florida, the senior from Fresno, Calif., developed into an all-around player for the Gators last season.
She had a breakout campaign, setting career-high marks with 12.8 points and 8.8 rebounds per game. Both led the team.
George put together her best streak from Dec. 7 to Jan. 8, compiling a double-double in eight straight contests. After the regular season, she was named a First Team All-SEC selection.
"She has earned the reputation around the league as one of the best," coach Amanda Butler said. "She's worked hard to put herself in that situation."
George helped Florida to a 20-13 record, getting the Gators back to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2008-09. The team won its opening-round game against Ohio State before falling to Baylor.
Having lost many players from last season's nucleus, Florida will rely heavily on George, the only senior, for leadership.
"I expect Jennifer to have a phenomenal year — nothing short of that," Butler said. "She's got really high expectations for her individual performance this season and also our team's success."
George downplayed the significance of the individual award, instead attributing her success to her teammates and coaches, who helped her develop into a more confident and productive player.
However, teammates were quick to praise George for her accomplishment and for what she brings to the team.
"She's our best player," Carlie Needles said. "She did some crazy things last year, made some plays that I've never seen anyone do. I'm excited to see what she can do for us this year."
Kentucky's A'dia Mathies was the overwhelming selection for SEC Women's Basketball Player of the Year, receiving 20 of the 26 votes. George was one of three players to also receive at least one vote.
As a team, Florida was picked to finish ninth in the conference. The Gators were picked fifthbefore finishing eighth last season.
"It's great motivation for our team" Butler said. "We're just most worried about what our ranking will be at the end when we've played ballgames and had a chance to prove ourselves."

2003 Ford F-150 SuperCab 4dr SuperCab XLT Rwd Styleside SB (4.2L 6cyl 5M)
I really love my F-150. I have always wanted an F-150, and when I bought mine I haven't been let down. Around town or on the highway, it definitely does not disappoint.
Extended cab. I am 6' 2" and have plenty of room. I love the stereo system and the ability to turn off the passenger side air-bag.
Better gas mileage out of your 4.2 V-6.
I had a '97 f-150 4.6 ran great but
traded it in for a '03 f-150 5.4
because the '97 had 210,000 miles.
The '97 never had major problems.
The '03 I have pretty much sucks. Motor
knocks on a cold start, tranny shifts
funny, and the rear diff "grabs" when
making a sharpe turn. Needless to say
the '03 is for sale.
The power pedals and power rear window
in the '03 is pretty nice to have.
Although the quality of the 5.4 in my
opinion sucks, it pulls nice w/ a
6,000lbs trailer. The '97 w/ the 4.6
was underpowered but held up longer
than the 5.4
I've heard of other people not liking
the 5.4 due to problems. Same goes for
the rear diff. In fact I've heard bad
stories about all American trucks
except for the power stroke and duramax.
Love the truck. Simple, fun to drive,
and works for me. Looking for an all-
around truck, 2WD, extended cab, for
the family, can't do any better.
I have had Chevys since 1967 used to be
a Ford man. Chevy wouldn't give me a
good trade in so I went to Ford. I like
my new truck but have found something's
wrong. Work men ship is a little bad.
Seat belt put installed backward, Pedal
adjustment missing, Read door out of
adjustment, gap on dash board on drivers
side and no tinted windshield. . All in
all I like the truck, just have to get
used to driving a Ford.
(Could improve) Tilt steering, wheel
down and cannot see speed or turning
lights on dash. Post from roof block to
much and cause large blind spots. Gas
miles no better then my Chevy 8 Cyl.
Wind noise around doors. Tinted
windshield should be standard.
My last pickup was a 1988 F-150 regular
cab. Stick, no air, upgraded XL
package, that was 15 years ago when I
got it off the lot! WE are finishing
putting our kids through college so it
was time for me. I ordered exactly what
I wanted, 2 tone XLT, auto, air and
even a splurge of the Moon roof. It is
my dream truck, right down to the
colors I picked. I had the dealer add
the egg grate grill (same as the
heritage edition with chrome trim) and
chrome nurf bars to make it perfect!
We traveled on a 1400 mile trip to get
our daughter at college and it was very
Moon roof, factory installed. Well
worth the money and the 6 disk CD

Ever since that unseasonably strong storm system arrived last Friday, it hasn't quite felt like summer around here. While temps have recovered some since the weekend, we've remained below normal this week. In fact, the last time Colorado Springs and Pueblo cracked 80 degrees was last Thursday. That's six days in a row where temps have remained below 80 degrees. Pretty remarkable, especially for Pueblo. A cool stretch like this isn't completely unheard of, though. In August 2004, Colorado Springs spent 9 straight days below 80 degrees, including 14 out of 15 days where the mercury stayed below 80.
It looks like this current stretch of cool weather will come to and end today. An upper-level ridge of high pressure will bring a warmer, drier airmass to the region. This should allow daytime highs to climb into the mid-upper 80's in Colorado Springs, low-mid 90's in Pueblo, about five to eight degrees above average. So for those of you wishing for warmer temperatures, you're in luck!

Mr. Benson's role in this transaction, though not named in our loan agreement, is significant. He claims to be the owner of the KAY1 CMO, which Mr. Kosolcharoen has been attempting to monetize. It is his agreements with Mr. Kosolcharoen that were to enable Mr. Kosolcharoen's performance on the terms of the loan with my company. Mr. Kosolcharoen paid the money we loaned to Premier Funding USA, Inc., $1,688,000, to Mr. Benson in order to obtain all of the necessary rights to the CMO to enable him to employ the CMO strategy. Mr. Benson in turn used that money for, as he states, other investments and commitments. Additionally, Mr. Benson indicated that his company, Mondiaen Capital, is the recipient of the monthly interest coupon derived from the KAY1 CMO and that those monies would be transferred to Mr. Kosolcharoen and, in turn, to us as stipulated in the loan agreement. On several occasions, there have been written and verbal assurances made by both men that the monthly coupons due to my group were being deliveredeven as far as stating that the wire was being sent right now, or within the hour. We have yet to receive any money from either party and the excuses are far too many and way too outlandish to go into in this context.
Because of the myriad excuses, delays and misrepresentations, it is our belief that Mr. Kosolcharoen and Mr. Benson are co-orchestrators of what may be an even more elaborate scheme that may involve, but may not be limited to money laundering, Ponzi activity, securities fraud, internet fraud, tax fraud and loan fraud. We have filed or are in the process of filing formal complaints with the FBI, Securities and Exchange Commission, California Attorney General's Office, Arizona Attorney General's Office, California Mortgage Brokers Association, California Department of Real Estate, Better Business Bureau and the National White Collar Crime Center. We are also notifying the necessary authorities and regulatory agencies in The Netherlands and London.

John Kosolcharoen Proving To Be A Very Trusted Business Partner
AUTHOR: Qcreinvest - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, July 29, 2010POSTED: Thursday, July 29, 2010
The original report written herein was submitted by the author of this rebuttal. It was completed at a time when circumstantial evidence seemed to be pointing in several directions as to why the aforementioned transaction had gone awry.
Since then, it has become quite evident that the true and single perpetrator of this scheme is Mr. John Benson. His name and actions have come up in conversation with other investment groups...if you ever come across this scum, RUN straight to the police, sheriff and/or local FBI branch office.
To be very clear, though, John Kosolcharoen has proven to be both a victim of Mr. Benson's illegal and fraudulent schemes, as well as, a gentleman that is working exceptionally hard to help our investment group. John has and is doing whatever he can to make our situation whole, again. The sound investment opportunities he now delivers are done so through exceptional due diligence and with very knowledgable, trusted partners. I have no doubt that Mr. Kosolcharoen will make good on his two promises to our group...collect and repay the outlay of capital with a small return for our troubles, and to see to it that John Benson is put behind bars for a very long time.
If you are fortunate enough to have an opportunity to work with or invest with Mr. Kosolcharoen, I strongly urge you to do so.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
