Like the bottle design
From nstperfume.com:
New at Colette in Paris is a fragrance in honor of actor Klaus Kinski, Kinski Eau de Toilette:
Produced under licence to the Kinski Foundation to mark the 20th anniversary of the actors death, KINSKI the fragrance is a richly decadent, textured scent with heady top notes including cassis, juniper and castoreum; a heart with oceanic notes inspired by Kinskis love of the sea; and a base of animalic and woody notes that reflect his own almost feral sensuality.
The bottle design is an expressionistic rendering of Kinskis own face, fragmented like the actors splintered personality.
Kinski Eau de Toilette is available in 100 ml, 117 exclu. VAT.

Def will try this if I come across it.
As a Kinski fan I look forward to sampling this!
What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence
The idea of a Kinski fragrance sounds awesome. I love the actor--but That being said, this may be marketing for film buffs.... the "oceanic" note in the heart makes me nervous....
This frag should have been called Wrath of God.
Lucky Scent lists the notes as follows.
Cassis, juniper berry, schinus molle (Peruvian pepper), castoreum, marijuana accord, nutmeg, plum, orchid, magnolia, orange flower, rose, benzoin, vetiver, cedar, patchouly, styrax, cistus, costus (ginger), musk, moss, ambergris.
Sounds really interesting.

2. Leather Oud by Christian Dior (31 wears)
3. M7 by Yves Saint Laurent (27 wears)
4. Oud Imperial (black) by Perris Monte Carlo (22 wears)
5. Russian Tea Ritual by Masque (20 wears)
6. Fate Man by Amouage (19 wears)
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
I'll give this sniff next week. Looks pretty wild to me.
It does look pretty wild! It has some of my favorite notes in it, I am so interested in this one. And with "a heart with oceanic notes", this sounds sort of strange, but Kinski was sort of a strange actor. Really want to sample this one.

Hey guys, so I bought Kinski about two weeks ago at Scent Bar. Now you have to bare with me because I am NO where near as smart the lot of you that I have been "talking" to about fragrances, BUT I'm going to try. I have used it four times and now I'm a little more confident about giving a review.
Kinski Notes
Cassis, juniper berry, schinus molle (Peruvian pepper), castoreum, marijuana acccord, nutmeg, plum, orchid, magnolia, orange flower, rose, benzoin, vetiver, cedar, patchouly, styrax, cistus, costus (ginger), musk, moss, ambergris
Kinski is odd and confusing and I hate and LOVE it all at the same time throughout the journey that it takes me on. This is a very bold complex textured scent. If you don't like woods or Vetiver, then I would pass, but I LOVE both.
The first five mins of putting this on I think to myself, "What the hell is this smell?" It's so completely different and I have no words. I will say last night I put it on and sat on the couch next to my perfect adorable Boxer Marley and she literally sat up and started to smell my arm, then started to lick me, LOL. She has never done that, now I know she's a dog and not a beautiful woman, but that had to be a compliment right, LOL. Anyway, the first 5 mins, I'm confused and think I hate it, but I believe it's a love hate thing, because from then on, I'm TOTALLY in love with Kinski. It has longevity and takes you on a multifaceted journey.
"Kinski begins boldly as cassis and juniper are met with a mix of castoreum and vetiver. The castoreum adds an early animalic touch and the vetiver seems like the vetiveryle from Escentric Molecules 03, full of smoky intensity. This is a mix of top notes which are better together than as their separate parts. This is slightly sweet berry over strongly dark notes to comprise a study in yin and yang. The heart is a quartet of floral notes; rose, magnolia, cistus, and orchid; which again provide a yin. The yang in the heart comes from nutmeg, pepper, ginger, benzoin, and styrax. Hr. Schoen accentuates the prickly, piquant nature of the latter set of notes, much like Hr. Kinski's famous temperament. They are layered over a traditional floral beauty, much like Hr. Kinski's acting talent. The base notes are the only thing in Kinski which are straightforward as Hr. Schoen gives my overworked olfactory receptors a break. Patchouli, musk, and ambergris are the surprisingly soothing finish to this fragrance."

I really wanted to love this, it only reminded me of reefer in the 80's, cheap incense, shag in the back of a van, not good at all.
The idea of this is very exciting. I would almost blind buy this based on the fact that Klaus Kinski is one of my favorite eccentrics.

Nobody need be concerned about oceanic. Maybe (Iso) ocEanic (Super). I like that with all the woods and incense it still manages to be very lightfooted. And there is a nice ongoing tension between the citrus peel and the wood.
I really wanted to like this one too. I've tried it a few times now and it smells great during the first couple hours when it smells herbal and green, but ultimately ends up smelling like very bitter and dried out stale weed. You've smelled this smell before - its not great.

Regrettably I too am chalking this up as a flop. It's like a paler, greener version of Encre Noire. Not sure how this is supposed to reflect the character of an eccentric genius.
Too bad about the negative reviews. I liked the bottle and the concept, but from the sound of it, it's none too exciting.
Hello there. This was an interesting release, wasn't it?
Well, the fragrance itself is just a bit of a disapointment. It's fairly well put together (Geza Schoen), but I wish it was more full-bodied with a few hundred meters more depth to it.
It's very green. Spicy and masculine tobacco. It's like a (wonderful) Creed's Vintage Tabarome hastily and blindly reformulated.
I smell mainly juniper berries, pepper, moss, tobacco and bay leaf. And yes, I know the two latter ones are not supposed to even be there.
Magnificent presentation with a mouthwatering concept (I'm probably the only one who was actually eagerly awaiting those oceanic notes between the animalics) but the scent is just...nice. And above nothing like the concept or list of notes makes you expect or even hope for.
I would serve this one with 2 stars out of five.
Worth to try, though.

Is it too simplistic of a review to think that this is essentially Escentric 01 plus vetiver and a marijuana accord? To me this is what it boils down to. The clarity of Kinski is almost disconcerting. I almost wish it were more dense.

From the best-selling author of The Working Poor, an impassioned, incisive look at the violations of civil liberties in the United States that have accelerated over the past decade—and their direct impact on our lives.
How have our rights to privacy and justice been undermined? What exactly have we lost? Pulitzer Prize–winner David K. Shipler searches for the answers to these questions by examining the historical expansion and contraction of our fundamental rights and, most pointedly, the real-life stories of individual men and women who have suffered. This is the account of what has been taken—and of how much we stand to regain by protesting the departures from the Bill of Rights.
With keen insight and telling detail, Shipler describes how the Supreme Court's constitutional rulings play out on the streets as Washington, D.C., police officers search for guns in poor African American neighborhoods, how a fruitless search warrant turns the house of a Homeland Security employee upside down, and how the secret surveillance and jailing of an innocent lawyer result from an FBI lab mistake. Each instance—often as shocking as it is compelling—is a clear illustration of the risks posed to individual liberties in our modern society. And, in Shipler's hands, each serves as a powerful incitement for a retrieval of these precious rights.
A brilliant, immeasurably important book for our time.
"Provocative . . . Shipler vividly describes a world wholly foreign not only to Supreme Court jurists but to most Americans . . . If the right of privacy is to survive, it will be because citizens, enraged by stories like those Shipler tells, recognize that it is not enough to shrug one's shoulders and say, 'I have nothing to hide.'"
-David Cole, The New York Review of Books
"Compelling . . . Shipler does a masterful job of interweaving poignant anecdotal accounts of his first-hand observations of the gun and narcotics units of the Washington Metropolitan Police department with trenchant, insightful, and spot-on legal analysis."
-Stephen I. Vladeck, Washington Independent Review of Books
"Important . . . I suspect Shipler's arguments will speak to . . . most Americans . . . The Rights of the People is timely, eloquent, solid, fair-minded and, on almost every page, upsetting."
-Craig Seligman, Bloomberg
"Vivid . . . A valuable reminder that we all suffer a loss of liberty when the government casts aside the safeguards of the Constitution."
-Ken Gormley, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"This powerful book demonstrates the reality behind abstract debates about liberty and security, and shows us what happens when liberty starts to erode."
-Linda Greenhouse, author of Becoming Justice Blackmun
"David Shipler has done something extraordinary. He took the guarantees in our Constitution and explored, on the ground, how they were actually being applied in the lives of Americans. The result is a wonderful book that shows how large a gap there is between constitutional promises and reality."
-Anthony Lewis, author of Gideon's Trumpet
"This is a book that all Americans should read carefully."
-Maxwell McKee, Sacramento News and Review
"An insightful analysis of the erosion of basic civil liberties within the past decade . . . A sobering look at the rights Americans take for granted."
-Starred review, Booklist
"Shipler's sure grasp of frequently impenetrable Supreme Court decisions (translated nicely for the non-lawyer), his engaged reporting and his generally evenhanded assessment of the reasons for these sometimes abrupt, mostly incremental intrusions on our freedoms make for an informed, persuasive argument. A timely call for vigilence."
"Provocative . . . Shocking."
-Publishers Weekly

The characteristics of carpets is put to the test by elements that are tracked in from footwear. This is magnified when it comes to Utah, particularly Park City floors, where you get sunshine one day, rain the next, and extreme snow during the winter.
Park City, Utah (PRWEB) June 30, 2014
A matted carpet is a common problem that many house owners have to contend with. Carpets which are kept in areas that have high movement such as the living room can get worn and old look quite fast. This matted appearance can also be seen in corners where furniture has been kept on the carpet for long periods of time. A recent survey by Kalia regarding Park City floors reveals that it takes regular cleaning and maintenance to ensure the best performance from a carpet.
Founder, Scott Heath, comments. "The term 'performance' with reference to carpets is a measure of how well a carpet maintains its original texture and appearance under normal traffic. Each carpet is different and has its own unique characteristics." He continues. "The characteristics of varying carpets is put to the test by the elements that are tracked in from footwear. This is magnified when it comes to Utah, particularly Park City floors, where you get sunshine one day, rain the next, and extreme snow during the winter."
These quality and characteristics of carpet depend on the raw materials used in construction and also on the design choices of the company. For example, natural fibers such as wool tend to wear gradually but this isn't the case with synthetic fibers. The study revealed the following as the primary causes of matted or premature wear on carpet.
Density of Carpet
The density references how close the strands of the carpet have been woven together. The denser a carpet is, the longer it will last. Density will also affect the appearance of a carpet and can even make a low quality product look grand. While it is best to keep away from carpets with a low face weight, high density can compensate for the lack of weight. For example, old nylon carpets last for years even after extensive use. This is because nylon is naturally a dense material. If the density of carpet were to be reduced, then it would need an increase in the amount of yarn and twist to maintain the same level of performance.
Tightness of Twist
This refers to how tightly the fibers have been wound around each other. Generally the more tight the twist is, the better will be the carpet's performance, though it will lead to a reduction in the total bulk. It can be thought of as analogous to a knot. If there are a number of twists and turns in the knot, then the chances of unravelling become much smaller. Similarly, a carpet with a high twist level will not get matted very fast. To judge the twist level of a carpet, carefully examine the cut ends of the individual yarns. If they are neat and clearly defined, then that means the carpet has a good tightness of twist.
Face Weight
This is the total weight of the fibers in the carpet measured in ounces per square yard. It provides a good idea of how much material is present in the carpet, and hence is an indicator of how quickly the carpet will wear out. Generally a carpet with a high face weight will not get matted fast as it tends to be more dense. But this might not always be the case. Sometimes when fibers of long length are used, the density of the carpet tends to be very less. It will lead to a good face weight but might not have the best quality.
With such variances in quality now defined it is important that consumers consider carpet that is best for their environment. This will provide for a long life and an efficient return on investment.

Wiper arms lead a hard life. They are continually exposed to the elements and can rust or corrode, even to the point where the motor shaft just spins and the arm goes nowhere. In some cases, you'll also need to remove the arms, such as replacing the wiper arm motor. In this article, I'll go over the steps involved with removing the arms.
Use a flathead screwdriver to carefully pry the plastic caps off the tops of the wiper arms (green arrows). I also recommend making a mark where each wiper blade sits on the windshield. You can even use a piece of blue painters tape. The idea is to have a reference point when installing the arms.
Under each plastic cap is a 13mm nut (green arrow) securing the wiper arm to the motor shaft. Loosen and remove the nuts. I recommend giving the connection a quick shot of penetrant spray to help loosen up the connection.
Removing the wiper arm can be a little difficult. VW says in the manual to push and pull the wiper arm back and forth to loosen it up. I tried this to no avail. In my case, I used a small two- arm puller as shown here.
Here's the finished result with the wiper arms removed. Installing the new arms is the reverse order of assembly, making sure to line each wiper blade up with the reference marks you made earlier.

Hurry Up and Wait
Yesterday I was driving. It was a two lane road, a typical fairly high speed state highway just out of town. I heard it first, a low rumbling sound like I imagine a bear makes before ripping a hiker to shreds for trying to get a selfie with its cubs. It startled me a little. Before I knew it this huge dark blue pickup truck comes screaming by me (likely using a half gallon of gasoline in the process). It proceeded to pass me and swerved back into our lane. When the ringing in my ears cleared I glanced down at the speedometer while pondering the location of the nearest muffler shop. I was going just about the speed limit, maybe slightly faster.
My former self may have been angry, perhaps interpreting this as an affront to my manliness, but as a happy philosopher I remained calm and just observed. The truck sped in front of me and almost immediately there were brake lights, as it came up against the 10 or 20 cars in front of me going almost the same speed I was. Incidentally my speed never changed. As we drove on for a half mile or so, we slowed to a stop at a red light. Mr. Monster Truck Man was exactly several feet in front of me now, not really in a much better place than he was when he was behind me.
This got me thinking.
How many of us live our lives like this?
Always in a Hurry to be Elsewhere
This used to be me. I was Monster Truck Man (although in an under-powered Honda Civic). I spent considerable resources and emotional energy speeding up my life, trying to get ahead. I was always racing to get somewhere other than where I was. Where I was, was not good enough, even if it was nearly the same.
Now to be fair, Mr. Monster Truck Man could have had a legitimate reason to get to where he was going. Maybe his wife was in labor in the passenger seat (although he was going in the opposite direction from the closest hospital). Maybe some life or death matter needed attention. I can't know, and I'm not judging him, but I imagine this was just a normal day for him. He was hurrying up to wait. He was not satisfied where he was.
Is this not the root of all human suffering?
The Cost of Hurrying
When I pondered the marginal gains of his limited progress down the road in comparison to me, I made a quick mental tally of the cost of his action.
- Rapid acceleration of two tons of metal and plastic used much more gasoline than he would have by maintaining his speed behind me. He has to work a few more seconds/minutes to pay for this.
- His actions were not riskless (to him or me). Passing people on two lane roads at 50 mph is one of the most dangerous activities we do in our cars. He may have misjudged oncoming traffic and caused himself or another car to run in to me and my daughter who was in the back seat.
- It likely released a bit of stress hormones into his blood stream, which probably is not all that great for the body.
- Wear and tear on his car from rapid acceleration and braking will cost him money down the road (no pun intended), just like the additional fuel.
Many tiny costs, but costs none the less. When I added up all these factors, I figure he actually LOST time from a vague meta actuarial sense; having to work a few more minutes in the future for the gas and maintenance money, the theoretical loss of time due to potential injury or death, the guilt from causing someone else harm in the instance he caused another accident. In other words, in the future world of infinite possibilities he is worse off if we consider all possible outcomes.
Death by a Thousand Cuts
In isolation this one event probably didn't really affect his life much. It didn't move the needle. It's imperceptible. But what happens when we do this all the time, every day, multiple times a day?
One tick bite is annoying.
1000 tick bites and you might need a transfusion.
Instead of hurrying up to wait, just stop every now and then. Slow down to the present moment. Be where you are. You will get to where you need to be soon enough. Sometimes going slower is faster in the long run.

Following the philosophy behind Nomad Factory's hit Magnetic plug-in, ECHOES not only sounds amazing, but it is designed to be very easy to use. Unlike many other delay plug-ins that have dozens of unnecessary knobs and confusing parameters, ECHOES has captured the essence of the original effects by keeping it simple. With the turn of a few knobs, the plug-in delivers musical results and instant analog delay satisfaction!
- A brief history of Analog Delay…
The world's first delay effects were achieved using tape loops improvised on reel-to-reel systems in the 1950's. The dawn of the analog delay came in the 1960's with the Maestro® Echoplex. Many guitarists embraced the technology as a way to enhance their sound including Robert Fripp, John Martyn and Jimi Hendrix.
Often incorporating vacuum tube-based electronics, vintage analog delay units are highly sought after by today's musicians who desire the unique timbres achievable with this technology. Solid-state delay units using transistors became available in the 1970s and were briefly a mainstream alternative to tape echo.
Though solid-state analog delays are less flexible than digital delays and generally have shorter delay times, several classic models such as the discontinued Boss® DM-2 are still regarded for their "warmer", more natural echo quality and progressively decaying delays.
Nomad Factory's ECHOS features 5 classic analog delay effects all in one plug-in:

Three questions with stand-up comic Radhika Vaz
A lot of fun. More Mumbai madness. This city has no boundaries, like me
Q. How was the performance on April 4 and what are you looking forward to for the one on April 10?
A. A lot of fun. More Mumbai madness. This city has no boundaries, like me.
Q. Have you ever had to change content based on audience's reaction?
A. Only if it's a corporate show, and even then, I will get a sense of the audience before the performance. With paid audiences, I believe that they are all sophisticated enough to listen to whatever I have to say — they may not always like it but they will listen. I like to believe that if a comedian's point of view is entertaining then it doesn't really matter what they are talking about. I like to say what I have to say, not tailor it to what people want to hear — I win some I lose some...it's all part of this game.
Q. Have you ever touched a wrong chord during any performance and then felt horrible? On another note, tell us about your most favourite performance till now.
A. Oh! of course, I have, but I never feel horrible — the only time I feel bad is if I didn't bring the energy to a performance. If I gave them a half-a**ed show, I feel crappy — apart from that, it's all good. My style of comedy is very edgy; it's about asking tough questions, making things a little uncomfortable — I have to go balls to the wall and not worry about anything — and most people get it.
My favorite performance is always the very first time I perform a show. The first time I take that one-hour of material out on stage, it's like flying, like jumping off a cliff, it's a rush — like getting high without the drugs.
On April 10, 8 pm onwards

My 8mm film to DVD conversion doesn't look at good as the 8mm filmAugust 3rd, 2009
8mm film has around 800 to 1000 lines of resolution. DVD only has 480 lines of resolution. So, any 8mm film transfer to DVD is going to turn out a DVD with significantly less resolution than the original film.
The best way to preserve the resolution on the film is to transfer your 8mm film to Blu-Ray instead of transferring your 8mm film to DVD. Because some customer's don't currently have a Blu-Ray player they order a DVD and Blu-Ray so they can play it now and play it on a Blu-Ray player when they get one. This is probably the best way to transfer your 8mm film today.
Some customers are interested in getting the best 8mm film to DVD transfer. The best master format would be HD-AVI. HD-AVI video is 1080 lines of resolution and is compressed about 4 times less than Blu-Ray DVDs.

WACO, Texas (release) -- Carson-Newman center Kevin Day (Soddy-Daisy, Tenn.) adds another honor to his postseason accolades after garnering all-American status from the American Football Coach's Association.
Day is Carson-Newman's first AFCA All-American since Eric Rice garnered the honor in 2007. The 6-0, 270 pound center is also a finalist for the Upshaw Award for lineman of the year, a first team all-SAC selection and the winner of the Jacobs Blocking Award.
Day started his final 46 games in a Carson-Newman uniform.
"He's undersized but over-hearted," Carson-Newman head coach Ken Sparks said. "One of the toughest players I've ever coached. There'd have to be a bone sticking out of him for him to take a play off and that's because we'd have to carry him off the field."
Day helped clear the way for the nation's top rushing offense in Division II. The Eagles piled up nearly 380 yards a game while scoring 52 rushing touchdowns. The 52 scores on the ground are the most among all schools in all divisions. Only FCS' Georgia Southern averaged more yards rushing a game than C-N.
Day is the 107th all-American in Carson-Newman history. Day is the 14th C-N player to make the AFCA squad. All told, the Eagles have 15 AFCA all-Americans (one player was named twice). That's the seventh most all time.

By Mortz C. Ortigoza
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, Quezon City – The former police chief of the Metro District Command in Cotabato City reminisce the rapport between the Philippine National Police and the Armed Forces of the Philippines during his stint there.
The reaction of Representative Leopoldo Bataoil (2nd District, Pangasinan) here was in relation to the controversy spawned by the gruesome death recently of the 44 police commandos because of the lack of coordination between the PNP and the AFP.
Bataoil, a former two –star police general, told the joint committees' on Public Order and Safety and Peace, Reconciliation and Unity last Wednesday that the PNP then followed order even from the military.
"There was brotherhood between the AFP and PNP during my time".
He said one of the acid tests of his leadership was when the brass at the Southern Command in Zamboanga City ordered him to meet the heavily armed troops of Moro National Liberation Front's Chairman Nur Misouri, who just returned from a long exile, at a wharf in Rio Grande River in Cotabato City.
"With 150 heavily armed elements in several vintas na pumasok doon sa Rio Grande I was right there with a platoon facing him. "Mr. Chairman, I was tasked by the SouthCom's commanders to meet you and ensure your arrival would be peaceful," he recalled telling the battle scarred MNLF's top honcho.
Bataoil, a former commander of the elite Special Action Force, said there was no Oplan between the police and the Armed Forces of the Philippines in some of his operations but he was supported by the latter.
"I wish the time will come na iyong samahan ng AFP and PNP will be enhanced".
He cited that he was aware of the situation of Police Deputy Director General Leonardo Espina, the acting Chief of the PNP, in the almost botched operation of the SAF. He added however that it was an isolated case.
In January 24, 392 British Special Action Service inspired commandos under PNP Director Getulio Napenas and Mamasapano SAS Operation commander Superintendent Raymond Train surreptitiously swept at the lair of the MILF, a rebel group that has an ongoing peace talks with the government, struck at the hut of Zulkifli bin Hir alias Marwan, a consummate Malaysian bomb maker and one of the most wanted terrorists in the world, and killed him.
The operation however was exposed when a commando tripped on a wire put by Marwan that trigger an explosion. It alarmed the rebels around 4 Am of January 25 who eventually cornered 78 SAF and pinned down and massacred 44 of them in a cornfield.
One of them however escaped and sprinted to his commander and gave the cut index finger from the right hand of Marwan for DNA examination by the U.S Federal Bureau of Investigation.


text: Hello. I have finished a molecular dynamics simulator for the SPC model of water. The core routines are essentially taken from: Allen-Tildesley, Computer Simulation of Liquids, and I added code for the coulomb force calculations, and the SPC model. It is, I think, more useful as a learning tool than a practical simulator, (although it does generate answers which match published data), for those like me, who are reading through Allen-Tildesley, and would like something which follows on from the Allen-Tildesley building blocks F.1-F.37, but not so complicated as a full-featured simulator such as Amber. If you are interested, send me email, and I will send you a copy. Regards. Doug Neubauer

So, your fans call themselves the Miguelitos. Any interesting fan stories?
The craziest thing was when a girl fainted when I was in New York! After a Daddy Yankee concert, we were coming out, and this girl was running after me. My dad and I told them to let her in. She hugged me, and when we were leaving, she fainted. I was like, "Ohmygod! What happened? What did I do?" That's the craziest thing I've ever seen.
Do you have a girlfriend?
No! I have a lot of girlfriends, actually.

Well, you can kiss any chances of Chael Sonnen being the next TUF coach goodbye. He's about to learn why being a compulsive liar is bad news, especially when you're under oath:
Chael Sonnen has been placed on suspension by the California State Athletic Commission and will be brought in for a hearing on 5/18.
The suspension is based on charges that Sonnen lied in his December hearing about having been cleared by Keith Kizer and the Nevada State Athletic Commission regarding an exemption to use testosterone in fights in that state.
Kizer noted the day of the hearing, while watching it, that he had never spoken to Sonnen in his life. Sonnen and Kizer did meet in an attempt by UFC to get him licensed in Nevada to coach the next season of Ultimate Fighter, and Sonnen admitted never meeting with Kizer, saying that he thought Matt Lindland, his manager, had spoken to Kizer on the subject. Kizer said Lindland brought the subject up, but never followed through nor did Lindland or Sonnen ever apply for an exemption.
And how serious could this be?
Coupled with questions regarding the veracity of Sonnen's testimony, Dodd is concerned the 34-year-old fighter is bringing "discredit to the mixed martial arts community," which is grounds for indefinitely suspending his license.
I suppose we shouldn't be surprised that basing your defense around an obvious lie involving another commission head would result in action. But what can I say … athletic commissions have been so lax and lazy in the past that no one would have been shocked if the issue never came up again. It has been 5 months since the lie, after all, and I didn't hear anyone making a fuss over it. I had just assumed the Chael situation got lost in the shuffle of a CSAC meeting after a motion to have an early lunch at Chili's passed.

I honestly don't know for sure but it seems that he was a vizier.
Another site describes him as "Bakenrenef (also known by the Greek form of his name, Bocchoris) was a king of the Twenty-fourth dynasty of Egypt. While Manetho considers him the sole member of the Twenty-fourth dynasty (frags. 64, 65), modern scholars include his father Tefnakhte in that dynasty. Also, while Sextus Julius Africanus quotes Manetho as stating that Bakenrenef ruled for six years, some modern scholars again differ and assign him a shorter reign."
And yet another site: "
Bakenrenef (also known by the Greek form of his name, Bocchoris) was a king of the Twenty-fourth dynasty of Egypt. While Manetho considers him the sole member of the Twenty-fourth dynasty (frags. 64, 65), modern scholars include his father Tefnakhte in that dynasty. Also, while Sextus Julius Africanus quotes Manetho as stating that Bakenrenef ruled for six years, some modern scholars again differ and assign him a shorter reign.
Manetho is the source for two events from Bakenrenef's reign. The first is the story that a lamb uttered the prophecy that Egypt would be conquered by the Assyrians, a story later repeated by such classical authors as Claudius Aelianus (De Natura Animalis 12.3). The second was that Bakenrenef was captured by Shabaka, a king of the Twenty-fifth dynasty, who executed Bakenrenef by having him burned alive.
Diodorus Siculus, writing about three centuries after Manetho, adds some different details. Diodorus states that although Bakenrenef was "contemptible in appearance", he was wiser than his precessors (1.65). The Egyptians attributed to him a law concerning contracts, which provided for a way to discharge debts where no bond was signed, and was observed down to Diodorus' time (1.79). For this, and other acts, Diodorus included Bakenrenef as one of the six most important lawgivers of ancient Egypt.
Despite the importance implied by these writers, few contemporary records of Bakenrenef have survived. The chief inscription of his reign concerns the death and burial of an Apis bull; the remainder are a few stelae Auguste Mariette recovered while excavating the Serapeum in Saqqara."
Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Hopefully someone a bit more knowledgable will come along.

Yes, there were two men called Bakenrenef in ancient Egypt: a vizier and and a pharaoh.
The vizier Bakenrenef lived during Psammetik I's rule. His tomb in Saqquara is used for their children for hundreds of years. (300, I think).
The king... well, I probably don't know as much as Mary, but I'll write down what I found:
Tafnakht was in a status as a king. It seems he and Bakenrenef(also known as Bocchoris, as Mary said)were the 24. dynasty. Bakenrenef's baze was in Sais but everyone knew his name from the Delta to Herakleopolis (I'm not sure with the city's right English name, but...)
After Bakenrenef, Peye ruled. We don't know much about their relationships, but Peye was a 25. dynasty king so they weren't a father and son or something like that.
The Nubians wanted to get Egypt, so Peye's son (?)
Sabaka (716-702 BC) conquered the country in 716 BC. In that times, they made Egypt and Kus together, and they killed Sabaka, Sebitka, Taharka and Tanutamon - even if archeologists think he was a 25 dynasty king. Manetho says they killed Bakenrenef, too.

We had a discussion on another board about Bakenrenef and this may be of interest:
I did find that there is
a statue of Bakenrenef (it's the one on the right)
. From what I read it's in Boston.
According to this site
Bakenrenef was the Vizier of Northern Egypt. Hence the tomb at Saqqara?
There's page from the University of Pisa that shows a reconstruction of the tomb of Bakenrenef:
A (poor) translation using google:
The great archaeological exploration of tomb (the rupestre one?) of the visir Bakenrenef (L 24) was begun in the 1974 from the Chair of Egyptology of the University of Pisa under the direction of Edda Bresciani. The jobs still continue, subsidize from a contribution of the Ministry Foreign policies you Italian, Office Cultural Relations. Situated to some hundred of meters to south-east of one of most famous monuments of the world, the pyramid (to gradoni) of Djozer Pharaoh of III the Dynasty (2617-2599 a.C.), the tomb is dug in falesia the north of Saqqara, that it faces the plain of Menfi. The owner of this monument is prince Bakenrenef, son of Padineit, and visir of Psammetico I, founding of XXVI saitica dynasty (664-624 to C). All the complex dug in the cliff, from the facade to the vestibolo, the long one knows it to pillars to knows it of the offered ones to the sanctuary placed side by side from the two small cells, had been originally covered of beautiful limestone blocks. The archaeological exploration undertaken to leave from 1974 had like scope the protection and the restoration of this monument therefore degraded and therefore important, nearly regale for its dimensions (measure 40 m of length and i its pools come down end beyond the 16 m. of depth) and for the original wealth of the decorations; the ipogeo is preceded from one short with the income flanked from the pylons; the court and the pylons have been discoveries from the pisana archaeological mission, but the pylons now are hidden under the asphalted road; sand and detritus cover the access and escarpment falesia to ipogee others tombe sottostanti.Dal time of the discovery from part of the Jumel French in 1820, the tomba have been admired from celebrate visitors of the slid century, like J. F. Champollion (the decoder of the geroglifici) and Ippolito Rosellini (father of the Italian Egittologia) when they guided their combined shipment, the franc-Tuscany Shipment in Egypt and Nubia between 1828 and 1829. Rosellini described the tomba in the its "most magnificent Newspaper" defining it "of the tombe of Saqqara"; in 1828 it had acquired to limestone Alexandria the sarcofago of Bakenrenef, and it carried it to Florence, where still it can be admired in the Archaeological Museum (Cat.1705/2182).

720-664Love those Google translations. Is there a translation for the translation?
Anyway, I was the one on the other forum who asked for information on Bakenrenef
the vizier,
and Merytre-Hatshepsut provided that valuable information. We have sections of inscribed walls in our exhibit at the Field from the Saqqara tomb of the vizier, and judging from that bit of digital recreation the Italians have on their website, a spectacular tomb it must have been.
Bakenrenef was vizier to Pharaoh Psamtik I Wahibre (664-610 BCE), Dynasty 26. This was when the government ruled from Sais, I think. Pstamik's cartouches are seen on the wall sections we have at the Field (minus his pronomen), and other inscriptions there tell us that Bakenrenef was also a governor and sem-priest.
But for all we know pencilbox1 was inquiring about Bakenrenef
the pharaoh,
who reigned at the end of the 24th Dyansty, about 60 years before the vizier. Well, there was only one other pharaoh then (Tefnakht), and neither was what you'd call a significant ruler.
Frankly I know more about the vizier Bakenrenef than the pharaoh. Hey, Merytre-Hatshepsut, maybe Martin will give us a writeup on the vizier's tomb in his sequel-book to
The Hidden Tombs of Memphis.
Yeah, that's right, I'm still on that kick. I really wish he would write another book on Memphite tombs because there's so much more to tell!

Thanks so much for that offer, maatkara, but I think I got the gist of it from the link Merytre-Hatshepsut provided. I read it months ago when she first directed me
to that web page
in another forum.
I just get a chuckle out of how Google translated it. I mean, I don't speak or read Italian, but it's a beautiful language, and the Google translation rendered it into humorous gibberish. But it works well enough to make sense of it, and I suppose that's the point, right?

Can Dominique Strauss-Kahn Claim Diplomatic Immunity?
Tuesday, May 17, 2011
Foreign diplomats have enjoyed diplomatic immunity for centuries. Following the weekend arrest of I.M.F. managing director Dominique Strauss-Kahn on charges of sexual assault, there have been questions as to whether he could be legally protected by diplomatic immunity. The answer is complicated as is the issue of diplomatic immunity.
Libyan Opposition Minister: Limited Funds Could Hinder Movement
Monday, May 16, 2011
Libya's main opposition group, the Libyan Transitional National Council, made significant gains in the last week against pro-Gadhafi forces when they retook the Western port city of Misrata. However, the group faced a political setback on Friday after meeting with members of President Obama's administration in Washington, D.C., and failing to be fully recognized by the United States as Libya's official and legitimate ruling council. The president of the Libyan Transitional National Council, Mahmoud Jibril, said financial constraints could threaten their progress as well.
Was Justice Served in Nazi Prison Guard Trial?
Friday, May 13, 2011
Former Nazi death camp guard John Demjanjuk was found guilty of nearly 30,000 counts of accessory to murder in a German prison. At age 91, Demjanjuk was sentenced to five years in prison, but will be released pending a possible appeal. Demjanjuk is accused of being a prison guard at the Sobibor camp in Nazi occupied Poland in 1943. Does he deserve an appeal? David Cesarani, professor of history at Royal Holloway, University of London, joins us for more on the story.
Iraq and Afghanistan Wars Back in News at Panetta Confirmation Hearing
Thursday, May 12, 2011
Since the shooting death of Osama bin Laden, the news has been dominated by stories of the former al-Qaida leader; but, the country's foreign policy priorities do not end with the discover of his Abbottabad compound. By the time that Leon Panetta takes the stand for his Senate confirmation hearing, politicians on the Left and the Right will be clamoring for their chance have their foreign policy issues back in the limelight. To preview some of the issues we that will make their way back into the news we speak with David Sanger, chief White House correspondent for The New York Times.
FEMA Wants $22 Million in Aid Back
Thursday, May 12, 2011
The Federal Emergency Management Agency, better known as FEMA, is asking thousands of Americans to return more than $22 million in government aid. The agency claims that it doled that money erroneously, to disaster victims ineligible for the support. In some cases, individual claimants will be asked to return up to $27,000.
Man vs. Nature Along the Mississippi Delta
Wednesday, May 11, 2011
Water is driven to find the shortest and quickest course from source to mouth and the Mississippi River is no exception. The river is fighting against modern engineering as it continues to crest. If it were allowed to flow freely, New Orlean's Atchafalaya River would capture the main flow of the Mississippi. However, thanks to a feat of modern engineering, the great river is forced to follow its current path through Baton Rouge and New Orleans. Some researchers believe the likelihood of major flooding increases each year due to this tension between water and engineering.
Life With Osama Bin Laden
Wednesday, May 11, 2011
Over a week after the shooting death of Osama bin Laden, Pakistan announced that it has yet to receive a formal request from the United States for access to his three widows left behind in the Abbottabad compound. The C.I.A. believes the three widows harbor valuable information about the terrorist leader. However, it is very possible that the wives were so sheltered that they don't have any information. For insight into life with the world's most renowned terrorist mastermind, we speak with Jean Sasson, author of "Growing Up Bin Laden: Osama's Wife and Son Take Us Inside their Secret World," a memoir of Osama bin Laden's son Omar and first wife Najwa bin Laden.
Mississippi River Crests Near Record Levels
Tuesday, May 10, 2011
The Mississippi River reached near record levels on Monday when it crested at 48 feet around 7 p.m. Experts, who have been watching as heavy rains swell the waterway's thousands of tributaries and feeder streams, expect the level to remain high for at least the next 48 hours. Memphis residents began to evacuate their homes over the weekend, for fear that the flood waters could rise high enough to become a serious threat. This flooding might prove more devastating than the 1927 floods, which killed hundreds and flooded tens of thousands of farmland acreage.
Did US Overstep Legal Bounds in Bin Laden Mission?
Friday, May 06, 2011
On Thursday, the head of Pakistan's army, Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani said that he would not tolerate future covert missions by the United States within his borders. Does that mean that the U.S. has overstretched its reach in the war against al-Qaida? That's the question international law experts have been addressing since Monday's covert operation, which ended with the death of former al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden.
Naming Osama Bin Laden's Successor
Thursday, May 05, 2011
Speculation continues regarding the future of al-Qaida's leadership following the killing of its leader Osama bin Laden. There are rules governing who is next in line, explains Leah Farrall. Farrall is the former Senior Counter-Terrorism Analyst for the Australian Federal Police and currently the author of the blog, All Things Counter-Terrorism. In a recent article for Foreign Policy magazine, she writes that "like any good corporation, the terror network has a strict series of rules and regulations it must adhere to in naming a successor. Rules that provide insight into how any future power struggles may play out." And these rules point to number two leader Ayman al-Zawahiri.
White House to Withhold Osama bin Laden Photos
Thursday, May 05, 2011
The White House has announced that it will not release photos of Osama bin Laden's death. Quoting the transcript of President Obama's upcoming interview with 60 Minutes, set to air this Sunday, White House Spokesperson Jay Carney told reporters that, "It is important for us to make sure that very graphic photos of somebody who was shot in the head are not floating around as an incitement to further violence or as a propaganda tool." Some very graphic photos from the raid have already been published by The Guardian. Is the release of graphic photos a good idea?
Osama Bin Laden and the Burden of Proof

Sunday's mission to infiltrate and extract Osama bin Laden was by all measures a success. But in the nearly decade-long process that led up to this moment, there's a new debate raging over how intelligence officials went about finding the world's most hunted terrorist. The latest reporting by journalists suggest detainees at Guantanamo Bay and in secret prisons in Europe were interrogated to obtain any information about bin Laden's whereabouts — including the identity of his courier.
Former Navy SEAL Team Six Sniper on Bin Laden Mission
Wednesday, May 04, 2011
In his new memoir, former Navy SEAL sniper Howard Wasdin writes, "When the U.S. Navy sends their elite, they send the SEALs. When the SEALs send their elite, they send SEAL Team Six." And that was certainly the case on Sunday, when a team of highly trained men overtook a a secure compound in Pakistan to eliminate the world's most wanted terrorist figure. They accomplished this mission, in the midst of crossfire, in under 40 minutes. We talk with Howard Wasdin, a former member of this clandestine unit, about what Team Six must have gone through to get face-to-face with Osama bin Laden.
The Making of a US Navy SEAL
Tuesday, May 03, 2011
On Sunday, a military operation lasting approximately 40 minutes, transformed an elite fighting force known for keeping a low profile, into the talk of the world. Former US Navy SEAL Michael Howard and Retired US Army Colonel Douglas MacGregor discuss what goes into training one of the most elite fighting force in the world.
Deadly Tornados Tear Through South States
Friday, April 29, 2011
This morning, survivors of the six southern states hit by Wednesday's rash of deadly tornadoes continue the hard work of surveying and cleaning the damage. We speak with Julie Steel, News reporter for WUTC in Chattanooga, Tennessee, a town that was hit repeatedly by waves of storms.
Tornadoes Rip Through South; Hundreds Dead
Friday, April 29, 2011
Deadly tornadoes that ripped through the South on Wednesday claimed some 284 lives. Entire neighborhoods were flattened in the wake of the 160 tornadoes that touched down in six states. We speak with Campbell Robertson, correspondent for our partner The New York Times, who joins us from Tuscaloosa Alabama, one of the areas hardest hit by the storms.
Growing Threat: Friendly Fire for Troops in Afghanistan
Thursday, April 28, 2011
For our troops fighting in Afghanistan, there may be a new threat, beyond the constant worry of enemy fire which occurs in the field. This new threat is growing behind friendly lines. According to Stars and Stripes, at least 38 coalition troops have been killed by Afghan Security forces undergoing routine training. Two weeks ago, 5 NATO troops were killed by a Taliban suicide bomber who enlisted as an Afghan National Army soldier.
Facing Long Term Unemployment
Wednesday, April 27, 2011
"If we don't get this unemployment rate down, eventually it's going to stick," former chairwoman of President Obama's Council of Economic Advisors Christina Romer warned on Monday's show. "We're going to have discouraged workers, people who have lost many skills. They may have a higher unemployment rate forever after, and that would be a true disaster."
Who Determines US Foreign Policy in the Middle East?
Tuesday, April 26, 2011
Since January 25, when a wave of popular protests began to sweep across the Middle East region, the U.S. has been put into several very precarious policy positions. The most obvious question is: should the U.S. stand on the side of revolution and support the protesters seeking new Democratic leadership; or, should we continue to support the incumbent, sometimes brutal, autocratic regimes that have been our long-time allies in the region? The answers aren't always clear.
Arab Spring and the Obama Doctrine
Tuesday, April 26, 2011
President Barack Obama is a different leader than candidate Barack Obama. What remains difficult to discern is just how different both men are on matters of U.S. foreign policy. Critics to both the left and the right of the president have voiced frustration at the administration's obstinate refusal to state a foreign policy doctrine. Ryan Lizza, Washington correspondent for The New Yorker describes how recent events in the Middle East may be creating an Obama doctrine on its own.

Men's Wearhouse Boosts Jos. A. Bank Offer 10%
Men's Wearhouse Inc. (MW) raised its bid for Jos. A. Bank Clothiers Inc. (JOSB) 10 percent to about $1.78 billion and offered to further increase the price if the target agrees to terminate a separate deal to buy Eddie Bauer.
The offer of $63.50 a share expires March 12, Houston-based Men's Wearhouse said today in a statement. The bid may increase to $65 a share, or about $1.82 billion, if Jos. A. Bank ends the Eddie Bauer deal and lets Men's Wearhouse conduct limited due diligence. Men's Wearhouse also sued Jos. A. Bank today, demanding that its poison pill takeover defense be declared invalid.
Men's Wearhouse is seeking to win a takeover battle that Jos. A. Bank started in October with its own offer for its larger rival. Men's Wearhouse turned down that proposal and countered with bids for Jos. A. Bank, including a previous offer of $57.50 a share, which were rejected as too low. Jos. A. Bank earlier this month agreed to buy Eddie Bauer in a deal that may create a company too big for Men's Wearhouse to acquire.
Opinion: Men's Wearhouse Messes With Jos. A. Bank's Plans for Khaki Dominance
"Men's Wearhouse boosted the offer to the point where it's so compelling, it's hard for Jos. A. Bank not to take it seriously," Mark Montagna, a Nashville, Tennessee-based analyst for Avondale Partners, said in a phone interview. "It eliminates the risk of reviving Eddie Bauer. This way, you get two companies who both know the men's tailored-clothing business."
Montagna has the equivalent of a hold rating on Jos. A. Bank shares.
Board Recommendation
Jos. A. Bank said in a statement today it will review "all aspects" of the offer and urged shareholders not to take action until the board makes a recommendation.
Jos. A. Bank, based in Hampstead, Maryland, rose 9.1 percent to $60.04 at the close of trading in New York. Men's Wearhouse gained 7.5 percent to $48.51.
Men's Wearhouse also said today that it would consider allowing Jos. A. Bank shareholders to receive a portion of the takeover payment in stock, letting them benefit from share gains of the combined company.
Eminence Capital LLC, a New York-based hedge fund that has an almost 10 percent stake in Men's Wearhouse and also holds Jos. A. Bank shares, supports the new bid, the company said in a statement today. Eminence Chief Executive Officer Ricky Sandler said in the statement that the offer "clearly represents a superior alternative" for shareholders over a combination with Eddie Bauer.
Lower Costs
Men's Wearhouse, a chain with more than 1,100 men's apparel stores, has said a combination with Jos. A. Bank, which has more than 600 stores, would result in lower costs, a greater reach and better customer service.
Jos. A. Bank has been told by five of its largest shareholders to start talking to its rival about a sale, people with knowledge of the matter said last month. Eminence sued Jos. A. Bank directors last month for rejecting the bid and for changing the trigger on its poison pill takeover defense.
Men's Wearhouse in today's lawsuit said that Jos. A. Bank's board breached its fiduciary duties by enacting the poison pill. The company has previously said it would nominate two directors to Jos. A. Bank's board.
"It's really up to the board of directors at Jos. A. Bank, given that they're still highly entrenched with the poison pill," John Kernan, a New York-based analyst at Cowen Securities, said in a phone interview today. Kernan has the equivalent of a hold on Men's Wearhouse shares.
"But keeping in mind their fiduciary duty to shareholders," he said, "this offer seems pretty sweet."

All over the world people take a couple of slices of bread. They combine it with some spread and some vegetables. By the end of the process, the makers have a tasty and wholesome meal. Some people like it with meat while others stick to simple tomatoes, onions and lettuce. They are prepared in many different ways, but the result of the preparation process is always a healthy and happy diner. We are talking about the humble sandwich and the many varieties that make it a favorite of hungry patrons all over the world.
A humble food like the sandwich has now become a staple snack and many times even a staple meal for millions of people all over the world. There are people experimenting with different kinds of sandwiches all the time in terms of the breads that are used and the stuffing that are put in the middle.
There is no limit to the experiments that can be done with the sandwich. Different sauces are used to add flavor. They can play with the vegetables and meat that are put in the middle. People can spray some herbs on top and decorate it artfully. The types of breads that are used vary in different cooking styles. Some are traditional favorites. They are made in the old methods even today. Other styles are inventions of the modern era. Today's generation does not have time for elaborate meals. They prefer to eat on the go, which is why the popularity of this dish is only going up.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Coyote concerns continue for a south Charlotte neighborhood. Families are on alert after multiple coyote sightings in 48 hours.
Some parents say they're thinking twice before letting their kids play by the woods and leaving their small pets outside.
"The coyote had come into the backyard here and was basically just kind of standing there looking at me," said Butch Barksdale, a Madison Park resident.
A picture posted on social media captures a coyote staring down a woman's camera. Moments later, the same coyote was in Butch Barksdale's backyard.
"Half a second," that's how long Butch says it took for his instincts to kick in. That's when he opened the door and chased after the coyote.
"He took off behind my neighbor's garage and I knew he was headed for the woods," said Barksdale.
The only problem with Butch chasing the coyote into the woods is that on the other side is Pinewood Elementary School.
"If there were an actual coyote sighting on the property of this school I would want to know," said Deidra Bragg, a Madison Park resident.
NBC Charlotte reached out to the Pinewood Elementary School to see if parents were notified; we're still waiting to hear back.
People living in the area say that's cause for concern.
"It's a wild feeling to have a coyote in your backyard," said Elaine Aldridge, a Madison Park resident.
A feeling that's all too familiar. Elaine Aldridge's husband caught a coyote on camera last fall. She says they're no stranger to coyotes.
"When I see a deer in the yard I'm just kind of awe struck, but when I see a coyote they just seem more dangerous, but I know if I leave it alone it'll leave me alone," said Aldridge.

Slam Magazine's MULTIPLE SOURCES* stated Portland Trail Blazers' LaMarcus Aldridge. may not be all-in on The Portland Trail Blazers' current situation. He reportedly wants a move to the Bulls. LaMarcus refuted those claims but, even if he's telling the truth, athletes' history in backtracking trade talks don't help. Additionally, there's no indication of a trade being influenced by his love for Chicago's deep dish pizzas.
Portland has one of the best young PG's today in Damien Lillard but have next to no bench support. However Chicago's bench isn't worlds better and Thibs makes his core guys work overtime. Aldridge would still log close to 40 minutes a game as he's been doing for five years running. Additionally, who knows how he'd play with Derrick Rose.
At the same time this rumor could open the opportunity for Chicago to make good on their puzzling 2006 Draft Day trade. The Bulls selected LaMarcus second overall but traded him for then-fourth pick Tyrus Thomas. Aldridge progressed one of the league's best power forwards while Tyrus became a dummy with hops.
Any inkling of Chicago improving their front line has to get their fans excited. So excited, in fact, they're probably heading to ESPN's Trade Machine to play desktop GM. What potential trades do you have lined up?
Personally, I can't see any deal without a Carlos Boozer exit strategy. The easy option calls for moving Boozer's acrylic hairline and Jimmy Butler to Portland for LMA. Chicago loves Jimmy but you have to give value to get value. Besides, seeing Boozer go should be a joyful event for the Madhouse faithful anyway. Possibly seeing LMA get traded back to Chicago tonight would be a cool, full-circle moment for basketball geeks as well.
* — Slam cited The Oregonian and Chicago's Daily Herald. I just couldn't let an opportunity to hike on Chris Broussard slip away.

Apps are increasingly becoming an essential tool for how citizens interact with their government. Government-created or supported mobile apps offer a wide range of opportunities for delivering services, such as finding parking spaces and paying for them, as well as engaging citizens in co-producing services, such as reporting potholes and damaged streetlights. Creative ways of using mobile apps for government continue to multiply, as can be seen through the many examples described in this report.
In this report, Dr. Ganapati documents the state of mobile apps at the federal, state, and local levels. He offers insights to government leaders on where trends are headed and which strategies government organizations might employ to both better serve and engage citizens, and their own employees, in the mobile world ahead. The report focuses on two types of apps which governments at all levels are now developing:
He concludes with three recommendations on the need to standardize data, data formats, and data standards that, he believes, will help further the growth of the use of mobile apps in government in years to come.
We hope this report serves as a useful overview of mobile apps, as well as an inspiration to leverage the use of mobile apps in the service of better government.

When you think of Italian horror cinema, chances are you envision fedora-wearing killers skulking in the shadows, black leather gloved hands brandishing gleaming switchblades, outrageous set pieces built solely around carefully choreographed murders, and imperilled women screaming for their lives while being slashed to ribbons. The likes of Barbara Steele, Daria Nicolodi and Edwige Fenech are but several distinct female faces invoked when contemplating vividly wrought Italian genre films and the decadent, fiendishly violent delights they offer. Moving behind the camera though, women are much less represented; in fact their presence is downright scant. There are however a few notable individuals who have braved the male-dominated industry, carving out their own distinctive niche and proving they're just as apt at helping to create cinematic shocks as the boys. One such woman is composer Nora Orlandi.
Born in Voghera in the north of Italy, Orlandi studied music and composition at the local music academy before forming the vocal harmony group 2 + 2. She scored her first film, the nautical adventure romp We Do Not Want to Die, in 1954 at the tender age of 20. From here she went on to score music for various Italian crime dramas and westerns before composing the haunting soundtrack for the proto-giallo, The Sweet Body of Deborah and Riccardo Freda's psycho-thriller Double Face. A self-confessed fan of thrillers, Orlandi would initially compose her scores without the aid of any instruments, only playing back what she had written when she felt the score was complete, creating, in her own words, "sound photography", to parallel the onscreen action.
She is perhaps best known for providing the provocative, jazz-infused score for Sergio Martino's twisted giallo, The Strange Vice of Mrs Wardh. With its dazzling array of style, mystery, violence and suspense, The Strange Vice tells of an ambassador's wife who suspects that one of the (many) men in her life may be a vicious serial killer. Featuring the irresistible triptych of Edwige Fenech, Ivan Rassimov and George Hilton – names now synonymous with the giallo – Martino's film has nods aplenty to the likes of Hitchcock, Tourneur, Argento and Bava, and stands as a shining, if often unfairly overlooked example of the film cycle.
Orlandi's score is constructed around variations of the main theme; a melodic and somewhat melancholy piano piece – The Strange Vice – that perfectly enhances the dark and dangerous sexuality at the heart of the tale. By varying the pace and instrumentation, the composer is able to reflect the jet-set elegance of the exotic locations, indulge in playful kitsch during light-hearted moments and conjure an unnerving atmosphere in the various suspense scenes. Erotically charged flashbacks in which Rassimov showers a reclining Fenech in broken glass (in glorious slow-motion of course) revealing her character's titular vice – she is equally repelled and aroused by the sight of blood – are underpinned by Orlandi's sensual and eerie score. The combination of these ravishing, perverse images and Orlandi's rousing music, fuses the film with an intoxicating malaise. Central to these moments is the track Dies Irae. With its sultry, wordless vocals and delicate woodwind, it's a tender love theme that is elevated to an almost ecclesiastical, spiritual pitch when a poignant organ dirge comes to climax. This beautiful, all too brief moment is repeated on Descending, where Orlandi demonstrates she's as capable as Bruno Nicolai and even Ennio Morricone when it comes to creating heart-melting melodies. For Fun Fact Fans, Tarantino used this piece in Kill Bill Volume 2 to stunning, desert-set effect.
Elsewhere the hedonism heats up on impossibly funky, mini-skirted tracks such as Shakin' With Edwige – vibes, sax, organ and fuzzy electric guitar strut their stuff with prog-tinged abandon – and the laid back Sophisticated Edwige – a playful reworking of the main theme with double bass, piano, organ, trumpet and electric guitar conspiring to sound oh so decadent. Orlandi creeps things up on Obscure Remembering – shrill woodwind flanked by moaning disembodied voices hinting at inevitable shadowy menace – and on Blood Heaven – skulking harpsichord licked by infernal electric guitar snarls. The sparse moodiness and chic shock of The Nights of All the Night with its shuddering Hammond organ and bongos filling in for stalking footsteps, recalls certain moments of Carlo Rustichelli's score for Blood and Black Lace.
I'll leave you with Shakin' With Edwige. Enjoy.

Reese Witherspoon's mom and dad are tangled up in a legal dispute, but it looks like the actress is on friendly terms with her father, Dr. John D. Witherspoon.
On Saturday, the 36-year-old pregnant star, daughter Ava, 12, and son Deacon, 8, were joined by John, 70, for a hike in Santa Monica. Calif.
The foursome, joined by two dogs, looked relaxed as they enjoyed their afternoon stroll. Witherspoon wore a baseball cap, sneakers, pink shorts and a gray T-shirt that showcased her growing bump. Ava looked low-key in a cap, gray tee, khaki shorts and sneakers, while Deacon kept it simple in khaki shorts, sneakers and a plain white T-shirt.
Reese's mother, Elizabeth "Betty" Witherspoon, filed a bigamy lawsuit against John earlier this month. Although Betty and John have been separated since 1996, they're still legally married. Despite this, John married Tricianne Taylor on Jan. 14.
Reese's mother believes that John is suffering from early-onset dementia and his new wife is taking advantage of his condition. In an affidavit, Betty said her husband "said he didn't know who Tricianne Taylor was and that he did not remember getting married."
Last Friday, Reese joined her parents in a Nashville courtroom for an emergency conservatorship hearing that Betty filed against John the week before.

Pray to God for Caesar
1 Timothy 2:1
Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we
can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity (v.2).
The Roman emperors demanded that their citizens
demonstrate allegiance by kneeling before their
image, pinching a bit of incense, and declaring,
"Caesar is Lord." Tertullian, a writer in the early
church, would have none of it. He told the emperor
that Christians would not pray to him as if he were
a god but instead would pray to God for him. In
so doing, the Christians were Caesar's most loyal
supporters, for they sought his prosperity from the only
God who could give it.
Tertullian dared Caesar to continue his persecution of
Christians. "With our hands thus stretched out and up to
God," he wrote, "rend us with your iron claws, hang us
up on crosses, wrap us in flames, take our heads from us
with the sword, let loose the wild beasts on us—the very
attitude of a Christian praying is one of preparation for
all punishment." Hmm. How can you kill someone who is
praying for you?
What might happen if Christians followed Tertullian's
example and Paul's command to "pray . . . for kings and
all who are in authority"? What if we asked God to grant
wisdom and courage to all of our leaders—not just the
ones who share our values? Our fellow citizens might not
agree with our politics, but they would have to concede
that we want our nation—not just the leaders we agree
with—to succeed.
It's easy to become cynical about the corruption and incompetence in
government. But rather than complain, let's trust God and pray for our leaders!
Your country's situation may seem hopeless. Your leaders may not believe in
Jesus, and they may get a lot wrong. Follow the command God gave to Jews living
in pagan Babylon: "Work for the peace and prosperity of the city . . . . Pray to the
Lord for it, for its welfare will determine your welfare" (Jer. 29:7). —Mike Wittmer
Not sure how to pray for your leaders? Read Psalms 72:1 to learn what King
Solomon said you should seek in prayer.
Write down the name of a leader whose character or values you greatly
dislike. Pray for that person now and every day this week. Why is
this important?

Edith Nesbit is more famously known as a writer of children's stories such as The Railway Children. But in this volume we explore her short stories of the macabre and ghostly sort. Born in 1858 in Kennington, then part of Surrey and now London, her early life was one of constant moving about until she met, at age 17, Hubert Bland whom she was to marry three years later – whilst she was seven months pregnant.
Thought of as the first modern writer for children she also wrote for adults producing over 50 books in total as well as collections of poetry which we shall explore in a separate volume. These stories are brought to your ears in eerie detail by Ghizela Rowe and Richard Mitchley.

"Scared my 11 year old"
My own fault: I should have thought about it before letting her listen. The first story kept her up all night in a fully lit room. We found all the stories great, except for maybe the second one: the reader is always swallowing and making other mouth noises, and his reading is sort of ponderous. Otherwise, fantastic! Last one is a treat in the line of "The Open Window."

A friend said to me one day that she couldn't image her commute to work without music, that talk radio show she loves so much or something to fill the quiet. She went on to say that she knew someone who actually rode with nothing on. Can you imagine that? !
Yes, actually I can. I find it interesting that we are a culture that attempts to fill every white space, almost every moment of every day. The Daily News reports that more than 80% of the world confesses that they can't do without their mobile devices.
This leaves us with little to no precious time to clear our heads, our thoughts, evaluate what we've learned without forces sucking us in to respond to some type of stimuli– begging us, beseeching us to buy or sell or react emotionally to some news, gossip or current event. Overloaded with information, we are often no better for it. We subconsciously take in stuff which produces no benefit in exchange for something, anything to fill our heads. It's kind of like eating when you are clearly not hungry.
We seldom give ourselves time to evaluate, ponder or consider whether information is useful before we are back at it taking in more—stuff. And even when we are conversing with others in real time, we often do more talking than listening always ready to pour out from our head what we know. It just seems the natural thing to do considering we know so much. Sigh.
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of sitting with a curmudgeon old lady who rarely smiles and is never up for small talk. She is not the one to chat about the weather –mentioning how unseasonably warm it is for the month of May. Her talk is purposeful and to the point. When she is done, she stops talking.
There was an incident which occurred with my son and her niece and she came to talk to me about it out of concern for her niece. My first reaction was one of defense. I wanted immediately to remind her that I have successfully raised three children and I've got this thank you. I wanted to tell her all I knew on child rearing. Did I mention I have three children? But something inside willed me to hush. Be silent. Listen. And so I did. I took in everything, immediately mentally applying it where it was necessary. No I didn't listen as we often do; we barely hear what the person is saying because we are awaiting our turn to share, to tell what we know, add meaning and depth when often none is needed. No, I emptied myself of preconceived opinions and drank in her words.
What I noticed is that truly listening is well…humbling. It is like sitting at the feet of a sage for the beauty of their knowledge. Assured that they have a perspective, you haven't considered or experience in an area where you lack.
I saw that day behind that droopy, leathery face and glassy eyes a women who'd truly lived. Her life hadn't been particularly exciting but she'd lived. It was the same kind of living I was doing. But the difference was she'd already been there. She wasn't condescending or mean. She was calm, with a slow, measured rhythm to her words. She wouldn't allow me to rush her But took her time to ensure I didn't miss anything.
As writers silence is powerful because it allows us to process knowledge in a way that makes it useful, instead of busy chatter clogging our minds. We began to know how an experience feels, what it tastes like, what it smells like and the way it leaves you in the aftermath. It allows us to compartmentalize what we know and apply it when and where it's needed and discard what is not needed or at least place it aside until the next time.
Silence is powerful because it shows control and discipline on our part. It forces us to think about what we are thinking about. It helps us to hear our inner voice. It is that voice—the spirit of a man, which guides us into truth, helps us to make sound decisions, not just based on how we feel, but what our spirit is revealing to us. It is the God part of us, because it is he who is feeding our spirit-man; yes. It is spirit to spirit.
The next time your emotions are screaming, or you are tempted to make a decision bred from some emotional high or low or you're incited to write some crazy, impulsive comment on Twitter or another form of social media, based on what some political blowhard has feed you, I ask you to be still. Be silent. Consider. Think about it. Listen. Simply listen.
