I just wanted to say "Hi" and add that it's nice to be back in the SVG WG after a multi-year break! I know many of you already and hope to get to know the rest of you soon. For those that do not know me I was one of the two IBM reps to the original SVG WG and I was very "hands on" coding up tests, samples and one of the very first SVG viewing applications. Along with Rich Schwerdtfeger, I have rejoined the SVG WG so that we can discuss some thoughts we have about what it would take to make SVG more accessible to screen readers and the like. Despite being away from the WG for a long time, SVG remains in my blood and I have continued to follow its evolution and create samples and demos. Cheers Kelvin Kelvin R.

Keith Richards' first solo album since 1992 opens like a fever dream, with the 71-year-old rock god croaking acoustic blues like Robert Johnson after burning down a half-ounce spliff. But it's a feint. "All right, that's all I got," he snaps just under two minutes in, before upshifting into his most eccentric and best-ever solo set. Crosseyed Heart is the sound of Richards following his pleasure wherever it leads, with a lean, simpatico team including longtime session pals Steve Jordan, Ivan Neville and Waddy Wachtel backing him up all the way.
Naturally, there's a dip into roots reggae: Gregory Isaacs' 1974 lovers' rock signature, "Love Overdue," complete with brass and Neville's sweet backing vocals. There's also a straight read of "Goodnight Irene," a folk standard that Richards likely heard as a kid when the Weavers' version charted in 1950. Two originals are as strong as any Stones songs of recent decades: "Robbed Blind," a "Dead Flowers"-scented outlaw-country ballad that echoes Merle Haggard's "Sing Me Back Home," and "Trouble," all hiccup-riff swagger with a slide-guitar mash note from Wachtel to ex-Stone Mick Taylor. There's a charmingly cheeky duet with Norah Jones ("Illusion"), and some beautifully telling moments (see "Amnesia") where Keith's guitar is nearly everything — his sublime grooves sprouting melodic blooms and thorny leads. It's proof that, at core, dude's an army of one.

Literary Elements Part 2
Foreshadowing is a warning or indication of a future event to create suspense.
Often appears at the beginning of a story or chapter.
The author may use dialogue, action, or even
the title of the chapter
as clues.
Movie Example:
Examples in literature:
The Lightening Thief
"You shall go west, and face the god who has turned,
You shall find what was stolen, and see it safely returned,
You shall be betrayed by one who calls you a friend,
And you shall fail to save what matters most, in the end."
Examples in literature:
Maniac Magee
"Maniac loved almost everything
about his new life.
But everything did not love him back."
Literary Elements
A flashback is a scene in a story, novel, movie, etc. that is set in a time earlier than the main story.
Flashbacks are used to retell events that happened before the story's time, but that are important to understanding the story.
The use of figurative language to create a mental picture.
Helps readers to experience the story through all five senses (sight, sound, smell, taste, touch).
Literary Examples:
I could hear the popping and crackling as mom dropped the bacon into the frying pan, and soon the salty, greasy smell wafted toward me.
Symbolism is the use of symbols to represent ideas or qualities.
Symbolism adds depth and meaning to a story to make it more interesting to read.
Movie examples:
The 'bad guys' are darker
than the 'good guys'
Literary Example: Harry Potter
-Harry's scar is like a badge of honor because he survived a battle. It also stands for emotional sensitivity, since it hurts when someone directs hate towards him.
-The name of Albus Dumbledore: Dumbledore means bumblebee in Old English and he liked to hum. Albus means "white" which may symbolize a white wizard or good wizard.
-Veritaserum: 'verity' means truth and 'serum' means fluid, so this potion makes people tell the truth.
-Knockturn Alley: Knockturn sounds like nocturnal and the Dark Arts are practiced at night.
Literary Example:
The Hunger Games
-The mockingjay represents defiance in the novel
-The dresses Cinna designs for Katniss symbolize her spirit.
An allusion direct or indirect reference to something historical, literary, religious, or mythical.
The author usually uses references that will be understood by his or her audience, such as an event, book, myth, place, or work of art.
You can also make allusions to pop culture.
Allusions can help people see unique connections between two ideas.
The reference can help the audience better understand a subject.
Allusions can also be surprising and funny, and are a favorite tool for rappers to prove their extensive knowledge of many topics.
Maniac Magee
"Then they went to the library book-sale rack and bought about twenty old picture books, such as
The Story of Babar
Mike Mulligan's Steam Shovel
, and
The Little Engine that could
"Then they went to Woolworth's for a small portable blackboard and a piece of chalk."
Irony is spoken or written words that mean the opposite of their usual meaning.
Irony makes a reader think hard and analyze a situation in the story.
By comparing and contrasting the reader is able to arrive at a better understanding of the author's meaning.
Harry Potter
Snape despises Harry and thinks that he wouldn't be anyone or anything special if it weren't for his fame and his story. However, Snape is the one who jumpstarted Harry's fame by telling Voldemort about the prophecy that lead to his downfall.

My husband is an internet marketer, so he hears about all these cool and new things online. One such cool and new thing is Jott.com where you can call a phone number and dictate a message to yourself or anyone in your contact list.
Basically, you create a Jott account using your phone number. You call (866) JOTT- 123 (or the number in the image to the left) and they ask, "Who do you want to Jott?" You say, "Myself," or anyone else in your contact list. Then you start talking! Here's something I jotted the other day, straight from my Jott inbox:
Fun and happiness are not the same things. You can buy fun, you cannot buy happiness, says Dave Ramsey.
I was in the car listening to Dave Ramsey and couldn't write down this line, but I wanted to remember it. I have Jott's phone number in my phone contacts, so I called up and Jotted myself!
After you finish your message, the prompt will ask you if you want a reminder, which will come via email and/or text. If you want a reminder, you tell them what day and time you want it. When you're finished with that, it asks you if you want to Jott someone else.
So this service is AWESOME because it's free and sooo convenient. I have called up many times while I was in the car or otherwise unable to physically write something down. Now instead of having a flash of brilliance and forgetting it, I Jott myself and they write it for me! I don't know if their transcribers are real people or electronic, but they do a really good job.
And you can Jott other people also. If I want to tell my sister something, but I'm not near a computer to email her, I can Jott her!
There are so many great features with this service, I love it! You should try it out and let me know if you like it!

Take a flying leap!
April 29th, 2012 by Marianne McCann
With all the network troubles over the last couple days, and a fix planned for Monday, it is time for us Residents to be part of the solution. We must make the ultimate sacrifice, and take a leap of faith into Mt. G'al.
Join me tomorrow, Sunday the 29th at 1:00 p.m. SLT/PDT. Bring a noob, dress like a noob, or wear your best devotional gear. Or whatever. Just make the jump.
The Grid depends on us!

President Obama has released his Chanukah message, in which he states that the holiday teaches that "faith and perseverance are powerful forces that can sustain us in difficult times and help us overcome even the greatest odds":
Michelle and I send our warmest wishes to all who are celebrating Hanukkah around the world. The Hanukkah story of the Maccabees and the miracles they witnessed reminds us that faith and perseverance are powerful forces that can sustain us in difficult times and help us overcome even the greatest odds.
Hanukkah is not only a time to celebrate the faith and customs of the Jewish people, but for people of all faiths to celebrate the common aspirations we share. As families, friends and neighbors gather together to kindle the lights, may Hanukkah's lessons inspire us all to give thanks for the blessings we enjoy, to find light in times of darkness, and to work together for a brighter, more hopeful tomorrow.
Meanwhile, we've got a few details on the much-discussed Chanukah party at the White House next Wednesday, according to a White House official. The University of Maryland Jewish a cappella group Kol Sasson will perform at the kosher event, and the children of a U.S. soldier deployed overseas will light the candles on, as earlier reported, a menorah created in 1873 on loan from the Jewish Museum of Prague.
The White House, as noted in the New York Times article Ami linked to below, says that 550 guests have been invited to the Dec. 16 event, and in the Times piece, administration officials point to records that the most number of guests at a George W. Bush Chanukah party was 584.

Need a book to read? We have no shortage of those. Here's what we were looking at for February 2012.
Alexander, Prince of Macedon, is the terror of the world. Persia, Egypt, Athens . . . one after another, mighty nations are falling before the fearsome conqueror. Some say Alexander is actually the son of Zeus, king of the gods, and the living incarnation of Hercules himself. Worse yet, some say Alexander believes this . . . . The ambitious prince is aided in his conquest by unstoppable war-machines based on the forbidden knowledge of his former tutor, the legendary scientist-mage known as Aristotle. Greek fire, mechanical golems, and gigantic siege-engines lay waste to Alexander"s enemies as his armies march relentlessly west–toward the very edge of the world. Beyond the Pillars of Hercules, past the gateway to the outer ocean, lies the rumored remnants of Atlantis: ancient artifacts of such tremendous power that they may be all that stands between Alexander and conquest of the entire world. Alexander desires that power for himself, but an unlikely band of fugitives-including a Gaulish barbarian, a cynical Greek archer, a cunning Persian princess, and a sorcerer"s daughter-must find it first . . . before Alexander unleashes godlike forces that will shatter civilization. The Pillars of Hercules is an epic adventure that captures the grandeur and mystery of the ancient world as it might have been, where science and magic are one and the same.
The coin changed Ephraim's life. But how can he change it back?
Sixteen-year-old Ephraim Scott is horrified when he comes home from school and finds his mother unconscious at the kitchen table, clutching a bottle of pills. The reason for her suicide attempt is even more disÂturbing: she thought she'd identified Ephraim's body at the hospital that day.
Among his dead double's belongings, Ephraim finds a strange coin–a coin that grants wishes when he flips it. With a flick of his thumb, he can turn his alcoholic mother into a model parent and catch the eye of the girl he's liked since second grade. But the coin doesn't always change things for the better. And a bad flip can destroy other people's lives as easily as it rebuilds his own.
The coin could give Ephraim everything he's ever wanted–if he learns to control its power before his luck runs out.
Destroyer of Worlds, by Mark Chadbourn: It is the beginning of the end …The end of the axe-age, the sword-age, leading to the passing of gods and men from the universe. As all the ancient prophecies fall into place, the final battle rages, on Earth, across Faerie, and into the land of the dead. Jack Churchill, Champion of Existence, must lead the Brothers and Sisters of Dragons in a last, desperate assault on the Fortress of the Enemy, to confront the ultimate incarnation of destruction: the Burning Man. It is humanity's only chance to avert the coming extinction. At his back is an army of gods culled from the world's great mythologies – Greek, Norse, Chinese, Aztec, and more. But will even that be enough? Driven to the brink by betrayal, sacrifice and death, his allies fear Jack may instead bring about the very devastation he is trying to prevent …
The Book of Eador, Abjurations 12:14, is very clear: Suffer ye not the life of a witch. For a thousand years, the Church Knights have obeyed that commandment, sending to the stake anyone who can hear the songs of the earth. There are no exceptions, not even for one of their own.
Novice Knight Gair can hear music no one else can, beautiful, terrible music: music with power. In the Holy City, that can mean only one thing: death by fire—until an unlikely intervention gives him a chance to flee the city and escape the flames.
With the Church Knights and their witchfinder hot on his heels, Gair hasn't time to learn how to use the power growing inside him, but if he doesn't master it, that power will tear him apart. His only hope is the secretive Guardians of the Veil, though centuries of persecution have almost destroyed their Order, and the few Guardians left have troubles of their own.
For the Veil between worlds is weakening, and behind it, the Hidden Kingdom, ever-hungry for dominion over the daylight realm, is stirring. Though he is far from ready, Gair will find himself fighting for his own life, for everyone within the Order of the Veil, and for the woman he has come to love.
Once she was Adrienne Satti. An orphan of Davillon, she had somehow escaped destitution and climbed to the ranks of the city's aristocracy in a rags-to-riches story straight from an ancient fairy tale. Until one horrid night, when a conspiracy of forces—human and other—stole it all away in a flurry of blood and murder.
Today she is Widdershins, a thief making her way through Davillon's underbelly with a sharp blade, a sharper wit, and the mystical aid of Olgun, a foreign god with no other worshippers but Widdershins herself. It's not a great life, certainly nothing compared to the one she once had, but it's hers.
But now, in the midst of Davillon's political turmoil, an array of hands are once again rising up against her, prepared to tear down all that she's built. The City Guard wants her in prison. Members of her own Guild want her dead. And something horrid, something dark, something ancient is reaching out for her, a past that refuses to let her go. Widdershins and Olgun are going to find answers, and justice, for what happened to her—but only if those who almost destroyed her in those years gone by don't finish the job first.
Cayden Silversun is part Elven, part Fae, part human Wizard—and all rebel. His aristocratic mother would have him follow his father to the Royal Court, to make a high society living off the scraps of kings. But Cade lives and breathes for the theater, and he's good—very, very good. With his company, he'll enter the highest reaches of society and power, as an honored artist—or die trying. Cade combines the talents of Merlin, Shakespeare, and John Lennon: a wholly charming character in a remarkably original fantasy world created by a mistress of the art.
Although Touchstone can stand alone, it is the first book of a brilliant, utterly engaging new fantasy series from the author of the bestselling Dragon Prince series.
Something is wrong with the souls of Chicago's dead. Ghosts are walking the streets, and Agent of Death Madeline Black's exasperating boss wants her to figure out why. And while work is bad enough, Maddy has a plethora of personal problems too. Now that Gabriel has been assigned as her thrall, their relationship has hit an impasse. At least her sleazy ex-fiance Nathaniel is out of the picture–or so she thinks…
Global warming has transformed the Earth, and it's about to get even hotter. The Arctic Ice Cap has all but melted, and the international community is racing desperately to claim the massive amounts of oil beneath the newly accessible ocean.
Enter the Gaia Corporation. Its two founders have come up with a plan to roll back global warming. Thousands of tiny mirrors floating in the air can create a giant sunshade, capable of redirecting heat and cooling the earth's surface. They plan to terraform Earth to save it from itself—but in doing so, they have created a superweapon the likes of which the world has never seen.
Anika Duncan is an airship pilot for the underfunded United Nations Polar Guard. She's intent on capturing a smuggled nuclear weapon that has made it into the Polar Circle and bringing the smugglers to justice.
Anika finds herself caught up in a plot by a cabal of military agencies and corporations who want Gaia Corporation stopped. But when Gaia Corp loses control of their superweapon, it will be Anika who has to decide the future of the world. The nuclear weapon she has risked her life to find is the only thing that can stop the floating sunshade after it falls into the wrong hands.
Koschei the Deathless is to Russian folklore what giants or wicked witches are to European culture: the villain of countless stories which have been passed on through story and text for generations. Valente's take on the legend brings the action to modern times, spanning many of the great developments of Russian history in the twentieth century.
Deathless, however, is no dry, historical tome: it lights up like fire as the young Marya Morevna transforms from a clever peasant girl to Koschei's beautiful bride, to his eventual undoing. Along the way there are Stalinist house elves, magical quests, secrecy and bureaucracy, and games of lust and power. All told, Deathless is a collision of magical history and actual history, of revolution and mythology, of love and death, that will bring Russian myth to life in a stunning new incarnation.
Andre Norton was one of the best known writers of science fiction in the genre's history, and the subject of especially fervent loyalty and enthusiasm. One of her greatest triumphs is the Forerunner series, which has earned a place of legend among fans with such books as The Time Traders, Galactic Derelict, Sargasso of Space, and many more. Forerunner is the definitive novel in that series. It also holds a special place in the history of Tor, as it is the first book Tor ever published.
"Kuxortal has always been," Forerunner begins. This ancient port was established in the time of antiquity and has built and rebuilt itself on the ruins of former civilizations. Kuxortal is inhabited by a lowly race of Burrowers, who tunnel and excavate beneath the city's towers and sometimes discover artifacts from the past. Simsa is a Burrower who has spent her entire life in the service of an older, crippled mentor, Ferwar, who had reputedly rescued Simsa from a trash heap when she was an infant. Simsa, with her blue-black skin and platinum hair, clearly comes from different stock than the other Burrowers, but Ferwar never revealed her origin.
When scavengers attempt to loot the treasures that Ferwar had left behind, it becomes clear that Simsa must flee. Especially when they discover that the scavengers consider Simsa one of the treasures that they have come to steal….
From veteran graphic novel writer Will Pfeifer and stellar newcomer Germán Torres, a darkly comic science fiction thriller sure to grip readers!
Zack McKinley was just another twenty-something pizza delivery boy before he discovered that his pop culture idols are actually the advance team of an alien invasion.
Now, encouraged and aided by his (probably insane) uncle, Zack must track them down, one by one, and kill them before the invasion can begin. But the advance team has no intention of letting Zack get in their way, and soon the authorities are hunting for a celebrity serial killer in a pizza delivery jacket.
As his life slips out of control, Zack finds only more questions. Why are the aliens here? What do they have to do with him? Is it too late to stop them before the Earth is conquered? And what if he has simply lost his mind?
When wizards threaten Glorianna Belladonna and her work to keep Ephemera balanced, her brother Lee sacrifices himself in order to save her-and ends up an asylum inmate in the city of Vision.
But a darkness is spreading through Vision, perplexing the Shamans who protect it. And Lee is the only one who can shed any light on its mysteries…
A bishop is dead. As Detective Inspector Adam Ferguson picks through the rubble of the tiny church, he discovers that it was deliberately bombed. That it's a terrorist act is soon beyond doubt. It's been a long time since anyone saw anything like this. Terrorism is history….After the Middle East wars and the rising sea levels—after Armageddon and the Flood—came the Great Rejection. The first Enlightenment separated church from state. The Second Enlightenment has separated religion from politics. In this enlightened age there's no persecution, but the millions who still believe and worship are a marginal and mistrusted minority. Now someone is killing them. At first, suspicion falls on atheists more militant than the secular authorities. But when the target list expands to include the godless, it becomes evident that something very old has risen from the ashes. Old and very, very dangerous…
The year is 2035. After ecological disasters nearly destroyed the Earth, 26 survivors—the last of humanity—are trapped by an alien race in a sterile enclosure known as the Shell. Fifteen-year-old Pete is one of the Six—children who were born deformed or sterile and raised in the Shell. As, one by one, the survivors grow sick and die, Pete and the Six struggle to put aside their anger at the alien Tesslies in order to find the means to rebuild the earth together. Their only hope lies within brief time-portals into the recent past, where they bring back children to replenish their disappearing gene pool. Meanwhile, in 2013, brilliant mathematician Julie Kahn works with the FBI to solve a series of inexplicable kidnappings. Suddenly her predictive algorithms begin to reveal more than just criminal activity. As she begins to realize her role in the impending catastrophe, simultaneously affecting the Earth and the Shell, Julie closes in on the truth. She and Pete are converging in time upon the future of humanity—a future which might never unfold. Weaving three consecutive time lines to unravel both the mystery of the Earth's destruction and the key to its salvation, this taut adventure offers a topical message with a satisfying twist.
A quest of epic reach spans the globe under the mythologies of five great cultures
After a long journey across the ages, Jack Churchill has returned to the modern world, only to find it in the grip of a terrible, dark force. The population is unaware, mesmerized by the Mundane Spell that keeps them in thrall. With a small group of trusted allies, Jack sets out to find the two "keys" that can shatter the spell.
But the keys are people—one with the power of creation, one the power of destruction—and they are hidden somewhere among the world's billions. As the search fans out across the globe, ancient powers begin to stir. In the bleak north, in Egypt, in Greece, in all the Great Dominions, the old gods are returning to stake their claim. The odds appear insurmountable, the need desperate…. This is a time for heroes.

This redesigned EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM Zoom Lens from Canon ups the ante for optical performance for a professional standard zoom lens. It has one Super UD lens element and two UD lens elements that minimize chromatic aberration in the periphery at wide-angle, as well as reducing color blurring around the edges of the subject. In addition, two types of aspherical lenses are combined to help reduce spherical aberration over the entire image area, as well as through the full zoom range. Optimized lens coatings help ensure exceptional color balance while minimizing ghosting.
A ring-type USM and high-speed CPU with optimized AF algorithms ensure silent, fast autofocusing. The lens is constructed with improved dust sealing and water resistance, while fluorine coatings on the front and rear lens reduce fingerprints and smearing. A circular 9-blade diaphragm gives beautiful, soft backgrounds. A zoom lock lever locks the zoom position at the wide end for safe transporting while attached to an EOS DSLR camera over the shoulder.

GNOME: Can this Linux desktop be saved?
Once upon a time, GNOME, along with KDE, ruled the Linux desktop. Then, in 2010, GNOME's designers decided to ignore their users' wishes and introduced a radically new desktop interface: GNOME 3.
Many users hated it. Not even two years later, even GNOME's programmers were wondering if their interface was "staring into the abyss?" Now, GNOME developers have woken up and are offering a way for GNOME users to go back to a GNOME 2.x style interface.
But is it too little, too late? Will GNOME actually be offering a real, return-to-the-past desktop interface?

Michel Houellebecq's novel Submission raises important questions about the cultural crises of modernity. It reflects on the dialectics of post-secularism and post-democracy in ways that have become particularly salient in light of the terror attacks in Paris and San Bernadino. Today on TELOSscope, we continue our series of discussions of the novel with the following contribution by Alex Dubilet. See also the earlier posts by Vincent Lloyd and Michael Allan.
A miasma of exhaustion and obsolescence pervades Michel Houellebecq's Submission. It is occasionally punctured by explicit expressions of a pornographic libidinality, but these, in the end, serve only as desperate manifestations of increasingly temporary respites. The end is nigh, if it didn't already happen. Houellebecq's universe remains what it has been repeatedly—a universe of male libidinal desire, its intensifying frustrations and anxieties monumentally projected onto the background of the specters of the civilizational decline of the West. Houellebecq is at the tired end of the secular liberal dream of possessive individualism and sexual freedom, or, as the narrator puts it rather succinctly: "In the end, my cock was all I had" (81).
The Islam conjured up by Houellebecq is a highly ambivalent phantasmatic playing-out of this libidinal imaginary. Notwithstanding the novel's insistence on the purportedly political nature of Islam—after all, this future France is being run by a Muslim political party and the Sorbonne has become a Saudi-sponsored Islamic university—the Islam it generates is a kind of hyper-intensified Orientalist Islam that is nothing if not libidinal. Fears over the quasi-apocalyptic defeat of Western civilization by Islam are largely displaced by scenes of a purloined libidinal economy: Houellebecq's future France is populated by Muslim men possessing multiple young and submissive wives—an image compulsively reiterated throughout the novel with what seems to be a kind of hypnotic envy.
Indeed, the narrator's climactic conversion to Islam—and the preceding conversions of various intellectual figures throughout the novel—enacts a singular shift of theoretical perspectives. It suggests an imaginary transition from a clash of civilizations thesis (which one would expect from a conservative author) and the existential enmity between the spectral unities of the West and Islam, to a quite different relation. Islam becomes an agent of salvation, a source of a surprising and unexpected second life of the West. The Self is not endangered by the Other, but is saved through a submission to that Other. One could say that there is something almost perversely Levinasian about the whole thing. The conversion is a production of a future, a new future that didn't exist and couldn't be expected, a miraculous resurrection in the flesh. But what is being saved and where does the submission lead?
Houellebecq's Islam enacts a curious reversal. If for Freud the mythical act of patricide was necessary to form an egalitarian collective by, so to speak, distributing the jouissance that the primal father was hoarding, then Houellebecq is a son who insists that egalitarian jouissance has never been enough. Islam is imagined as a site of redemption from the failure and frustration of that brotherhood and its desiccated libido: Thanks to the titillations of polygamy and rigid gender subjection, Islam becomes the instrument to enact the fantasy of regaining, in a new form, the jouissance of the primal father, a fantasy whose name, for Houellebecq, secular liberalism dares no longer speak. Here Islam is envisioned as fundamentally patriarchal, not only because of the submission of women to men and the reassertion of the primacy of depoliticized private space of family and morality, but also precisely in the fact that the male position can claim its lost identity not only as son, but as father, owner, and possessor of the unlimited pleasure. As Islam transitions in the novel from being a threat to a bearer of redemption, it becomes a kind of theologically-inspired sex trafficking, the production machine of brown female flesh for, among others, decrepit white male libidos.
Islam is rendered an instrument for the salvation and rebirth of a society of male enjoyment, and thus becomes the means for the realization of the dream of an alternative, regressive modernity. In other words, it becomes the future of what modernity once was—a society of men—their desire, symbolic status, and public agency—with women re-associated with the private and the sexual. This is why the novel repeatedly draws connections between a certain conservative European "nativism" and Islam. Houellebecq intuits Joan Scott's and others' insight that the supposedly universalistic liberal secularism has been regulating and subjugating women's bodies from the get-go. Seeing those mechanisms fail, Houellebecq now imagines other tools for firing the machine back up—declaring that the religious-secular divide should hardly be seen as insurmountable divide when it is a question of the resurrection of the flesh and afterlife. Except that now this future modernity is prosthetically intensified by Orientalist spices, and its submission to God becomes the nominal price for the rejuvenation of male life, property, and desire. It is as though Submission acts out the admission that the antagonism between Europe and Islam is fabricated and ontologically unnecessary—just like critics of secularism have been saying—except here the insight is re-appropriated by the Houellebecqian anti-feminist and anti-left discourses. The West can be saved through the Other, not because salvation comes through self-abnegation towards transcendence, but because that Other reveals a repressed truth about the self; the Other is the intensified version of what the Self has disavowed within itself until the moments of its decline.
Throughout, the novel plays out the dialectic of (putatively secular) autonomy and submission (embodied in Islam). For the most part, however, submission is not rethought outside of the norms of autonomy. Sometimes, it is disparaged with disgust; at others, it is names a certain freedom revealed through the abdication of the burdens and frustrations of autonomy. As the narrator remarks, encountering the multiple young wives of an Arab businessmen on a train: "Obviously they had no autonomy, but as they say in English, fuck autonomy." This exclamation leads to dreams of abdicating of responsibility, agency, and achievement—and taking up a position of minority. Houellebecq sounds like an exhausted Kant who finds himself at a disappointing end of history: autonomy still burdens us with its normativity, but it can no longer be accomplished, and so we should allow ourselves the reluctant dream of residing in minority and tutelage. Forms of heteronomy never rise up to become places from which one can critique the realities of liberal autonomy, as has been suggested by anthropologists of Islam. Or rather, one could say that the string of conversions, including the narrator's own, seem to change the status of submission and heteronomy in the novel, allowing a model of agency through submission. But this is not imagined, as some anthropologists of Islam like Talal Asad or Saba Mahmood have proposed, as partaking in a program of ethical self-cultivation and alternative understandings of agency. Instead, the nominal submission to God becomes a mechanism for regaining power, power over women's bodies, and a certain kind of autonomy of the father and husband. Rather than an entry into ethical practice, submission becomes a moment in the dialectics of re-charged feelings of power and autonomy. This is confirmed not the least by the fact that for Houellebecq, in good secular fashion, forms of veiling can do nothing but signify, in an alternating and complementary ways, enduring child-like states of minority and sexual subjugation.
Yet it is worth stressing another aspect in relation to Houellebecq's universe: Autonomy and heteronomy form a closed dialectical dance radically at the expense of forms of collective life that might challenge the primacy of those concepts. For Houellebecq, the subject is either forced to remain in isolation or partake in modes of hierarchical subjugation: the possibility of communal life has been rendered invisible and impossible. As his narrator says at some point, I don't understand the point of friendship. On a large scale, the leftist imaginary of communal life is derided throughout the novel with a singularly vehement vitriol and aspersion. (Only in Houellebecq's libidinal-civilizational universe can a drastic reduction of state welfare and the near total redomestication of social life not be accompanied by a set of violent resistance and maintained through excessive police repression.) In the end, the novel performs a powerful act of foreclosure against all possibility of the common(s) and the communal: These are rendered as nothing but the forgettable failures of secularist-atheist imaginary—and this distortion and blindness is as powerful and consequential as the deformations that the novel enacts on Islam.

Neighborhood Centers seeks staff
Published 2:02 pm, Friday, April 4, 2014
Neighborhood Centers wants to meet passionate individuals who want to change the world through education. The agency is hosting a series of Teacher Appreciation Nights during the month of April in order to hire teachers and teacher's assistants, who will serve local community charter schools and head start programs.
Neighborhood Centers provides services to children, families and older adults in the communities where they live. By providing those the organization serves with stability, connectedness and access to opportunities, Neighborhood Centers is transforming entire neighborhoods, as well as lives.
The agency's teachers are more than just educators; they are heroes, role models, friends and neighbors who are changing the lives of their students and families every day.
"Teaching is a rewarding profession because you have the ability to change lives and touch the future," said Gina Seyl, assistant superintendent at Neighborhood Centers' Promise Community School.
Neighborhood Centers' Choices in Education Division consists of four Birth-to-Five Centers, five Head Start Centers, 11 HISD collaboration sites, one Childcare Center Collaboration, one Early Childhood Development Center and three Charter school campuses.
With a mission "to bring resources, education and connection to emerging neighborhoods," Neighborhood Centers has employed a place-based, community-centered approach since its founding in 1907. The agency has been recognized for innovation and programmatic excellence in community development. It is serving more than 525,000 clients each year in 67 counties throughout Texas.
In 1998, Neighborhood Centers was awarded a grant from the Administration for Children and Families to operate the Early Head Start and Head Start programs in southwest Harris County. The objectives of the Early Head Start and Head Start programs are to strengthen families and communities; promote good health; and ensure optimal development, social competence and school readiness in young children. Neighborhood Centers provides comprehensive Head Start services to 2,090 children and their families - 1,878 Head Start children and 212 Early Start children.
"Teaching can change an entire community," said Diane Stanton, Head Start and Senior Early Head Start director.
Register for Neighborhoods Centers' Teacher Appreciation Nights by visiting www.Eventbrite.com. Learn about the organization at www.neighborhood-centers.org. Teacher Appreciation Nights are 4:30-6:30 p.m. April 9 at Ripley House (Houston's East End); April 16 at Baker Ripley (southwest Houston); April 24 at Sharpview; and May 8 at Spring Branch.

One day there was a girl named Jesicca. She was a brave girl until they went to Morley. Morley was a scary place with ghosts souls.
One day Jesicca was in Morley she went to the haunted house people call it the ghost house and others called it Haunted house, so Jesicca went inside up the stairs and in to the attic and SCREAMED "AHHHHHHH'' and ran out and never went there again.
But one day she built enough courage and strength and went and went there again and to the attic and slept there, she was fine until she haerd a voice that said "im watching you" and she SCREAMD ''AHHHHHH'' but she dint run out she stayed in and went to investigate the house.
She went to the living room but no one was there, she looked in the kitchen but no one was there, she went to the attic, somebody was there! She could feel goose bumps going up her arm and shivers. She walked all around the attic and she saw a tall figure standing there saying "I told you'' she said ''Im not scared of you - your fake'' and the figure disappeared and she screamd of joy "YEAH'' and she never felt scared ever again.

Welch Elementary
I love the sight word and CVC materials, as well as math resources. Being my first year in Kindergarten, after 10 years in fifth and sixth grade math, I am aconstantly looking for ELA and math activities! I can always find fun engaging resources here that my kids enjoy! Thanks!
Alice Deal Middle School
I have used the resources for years and they have been a real blessing. This year in particular. I am working with Special Education , General Education, Autistic, and ESL students whose Reading levels range from K-4th grade and the students are in grades 6th-8th grade. I have not received any resources , and Jason's Online resources enabled me to set up my classroom and meet every student at their point of academic need. From Guided Reading materials , ESL language practice materials to holiday packets that we used before our winter break every resource was engaging , exciting and enabled me to move all of my student closer to proficiency . With 30 middle school students with varying levels of behavioral challenges and academic need, I would not have been able to successfully navigate the first two advisories of the school year without these resources!
Herman L. Horn Elemenary
Having tpt materials as as a resource that is always available, has been a lifesaver to a teacher that has switched grade levels three times in the last five years! Thank you for the wonderful activities and ideas!❤📚✏🎨🍎😀

Ottawa River Elementary
I have been using Teachers Pay Teachers for years. The resources are great! When I need something I can "use today" or "plan for a unit", I can find it on this website. Teachers have created these resources, which means they are student friendly. I teach in math centers, and this is a great resource for finding math games or math art activities for my centers. It's nice that you can look up materials and the standards they cover are listed right on the resource. This is my "go to" website for worksheets, foldables, activities and games, even though I am connected to many other websites. This website seems to be the most comprehensive, partly because teachers are adding things every day. They have the whole world working on this website, to make it better. Genius!
American Leadership Academy
We loved using your rounding I have, who has game! It's such a fun way for the kiddos to review what they have learned and see how fast they can complete each additional round of playing!
Overhills Elementary
The resources are great! I have found numerous games and activities to engage my students so they continue to learn more and grow. Thanks for all you do to help teachers everywhere!
St. James Catholic School
Whenever I visit teacherspayteachers.com Jason's Online Classroom is always my first stop. I have used many of his great resources on numerous occasions and they were amazing. When I switched grade levels 2 years ago, I immediately came to download the ELA standards for both 4th and 5th grade. They are colorful as well as child friendly. The best part is that all the resources are always reasonably priced. Best store out there for your classroom needs.
Daggett Middle School
Teaching middle school can be very challenging but with the use of resources from the TpT site, it has been so much fun being able to engage them again. My students love them and they make planning so much easier. Thank you for your invaluable resources.
Findley CLC
My students love your seasonal writing prompts! They are high-interest, relatable, and easy for me to scaffold with sentence frames. Thank you for a wonderful resource!
Seneca Highlands Intermediate Unit #9, Pennsylvania
My elementary Special Ed students LOVE the 'I have, Who has' games. We play then EVERY DAY!!! I search TPT and Jason's site to find new ways to incorporate skills with these fun games. They teach social skills like turn taking and attention to detail, as well as key concepts from as simple as colors and shapes, to elements of language like antonyms and sight words. I love these products!
Brentwood Elementary
I've absolutely loved using the "All About Me" page as part of our weekly VIP routine in first grade. I assign that page as their first homework assignment at the beginning of the year. I laminate them and it goes into a special sharing binder. Each child presents their page when they are chosen as the weekly VIP. I have them complete the same "All About Me" page at the end of the year and they get to compare their responses and also goes into a time capsule. They share so many giggles by doing so. It's so simple yet so fun. The best part is that Jason offers many different themes of this page and in Spanish! Love it!
Anderson Elementary School
Your website helped me survive student teaching and is now helping me with my first year as a teacher. I can't thank you enough for all the "free" resources for a small budget. Thank you!
Heidelberg Elementary School
Wonderful! You guys are always my go to when needing resources. Thanks for the support. Being an educator, you always need additional support and could always use extra money. Thanks for the chance to win!
Jason's Online Classroom produces amazing products!! I have purchased a few over the years and could not be happier!! I love the core content success criteria "I Cans". They are very student friendly and have been used time and time again!! You will not go wrong purchasing products created from here!
Avalon Elementary
My class absolutely loves your "I have who has" games. They beg to play after we are finished reading our daily guided reading book. I love how I can differentiate based on the needs of my students. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Claysville Elementary School
I have used Jason's Online Resources for 2 years now. I have used everything from the start of school packets, holiday packets, to reading and math centers. One of the best resources I have ever found here is the reading connected with math packets. They are very interesting for my students and they don't feel like it's "work," but I can tell it's working. I wish these resources were available when I first started teaching!

Suze Yalof Schwartz, executive fashion editor at large for Glamour magazine, joined Chris Cuomo and Deborah Roberts in the "Good Morning America" studio today to show them some denim looks that will work on a variety of different shapes.
Three models wore the same jeans. A plus-sized, pear-shaped and petite-sized model all looked good in Old Navy's "universal" jean. The actual style is called "The Flirt," and Schwartz says it can look good on shapes from "size 0 to size 20." The price? $29.50.
Schwartz also showed a jean style she said all the celebrities are now wearing -- the "boyfriend."
It's the antithesis of the skinny jean, she said, a throwback to the 1950s Levi's 501. They're comfortable, they're cool, they're modern. But they're not the most flattering jeans on everyone. They're good if you're average-sized or thin.
The jean showcased is by Current/Elliott and costs more than $200, but other makers have it, as well. American Eagle sells its version for $49.50.
Like what our models wore? Here's the skinny on their outfits:
Petite Model
Top: Alisha Levine
Jeans: The Flirt, Old Navy
Plus-sized Model
Top: H&M
Jeans: The Flirt, Old Navy
Pear-shaped Model
Top: Martin + Osa
Jeans: The Flirt, Old Navy
Boyfriend Jean Model
Jacket: Topshop
Jeans: Current/Elliott
Counterintuitive tips for finding the perfect pair of jeans:
If you have shorter legs, don't wear cropped jeans; wear longer ones.
If you are plus-sized, stay away from the bigger jean. Dark denim that has stretch works great.
If you're pear-shaped, wear a jean with a tighter waist. And look for pocket placement that can lift your rear end without going under the knife.

Good Questions: Where to Go for Crown Moulding?
I am considering putting up some crown moulding in our master bedroom and our baby's room. I have no idea where to start. We will probably hire someone to put it up, but the initial question is where can we go to purchase the crown moulding? We are not looking for anything too complicated or fancy. Any ideas on where to purchase would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Dear Pam,
The first thing to pop up in our search was Moulding & Millwork, which seems to have a large presence nationwide (so we're hoping someone might have a firsthand review). This family-owned company was established in 1926, and "has become one of the largest suppliers of wood mouldings in North America, including pine, oak, hemlock, mahogany, maple, cedar and MDF mouldings."
Locally, they're at:
777 Chase Ave; Elk Grove Village, IL 60007 (t. 847.640.6500)
Any other suggestions?

By the time songwriter Jimmy Webb first met pop-country performer Glen Campbell in person, they had already won a pair of Grammys (for "By the Time I Get to Phoenix"). Sharing more than 100 collaborative recordings, the Webb-Campbell partnership remains one of the most fruitful in popular music.
To commemorate Campbell turning 80 years old on April 22nd and pay tribute to his longtime friend, Webb will present a special edition of his national touring show, "Jimmy Webb: The Glen Campbell Years," at Nashville's City Winery. Set for Tuesday, May 3rd, the multi-media concert includes virtual duets and stories of how such iconic songs as "Galveston" and "Wichita Lineman" were created.
Additionally, Webb will share the stage with three of Campbell's children — Ashley, Shannon, and Cal — for this event only.
"I created this show to honor my friend and collaborator," Webb said in a statement announcing the special performance. "I know that Glen would want us to concentrate on having a good time and enjoying the music, Ashley, Shannon and Cal are tremendous musicians, they take after their dad. I am glad to have them as part of this one-night only performance."
With paths that were seemingly fated to cross, Webb recalls growing up in Oklahoma, hearing Campbell's voice on the radio and praying that one day he might hear that voice singing his songs. A few years later, Campbell heard one of Webb's tunes coming from his radio. Recognizing the song's commercial potential, Campbell covered it and earned a Grammy for his performance. Their first meeting took place during the recording of an advertising jingle.
"I walked in with Jesus length hair and a beard and my flowered shirt on and my old jeans and put out my hand and said, 'Mr. Campbell, I'm…' and he looked up from tending his guitar and he sort of cut me with those bright blue eyes and he said, 'When you gonna get a haircut?'" Webb told Delaware Public Media.
Campbell was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2011 and is in the final stages of the disease. He is living in a memory care facility and receiving treatment that includes music therapy.


text: The first time I read Judy Blume's "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret" was on an eight-hour road trip over the winter holidays. I was 7. We were on our way to visit cousins and I was squeezed in the backseat with my two older brothers, sandwiched between a collection of teenage arms and legs. The weather was dicey that day, the roads slick. My brothers were asleep, and I was off in another world. New Jersey, to be precise, where sixth-grader Margaret Simon was encountering the first, exciting, uncertain moments of puberty and performing exercises accompanied by the hopeful chant: "I must — I must — I must increase my bust!"

I am reminded of a book called ENERGY FUTURE, written some years ago by two Harvard economists. They evaluated various sources or energy (coal, gas, nuclear, solar etc.) and came up with relative costs expressed as barrels of oil. When conservation was evaluated as an energy source, it turned out to be cheaper than any other. I think databases are to science what conservation is to energy. Yes, databases don't generate new data per se. However, a tremendous amount of the data that IS generated is effectively lost to the research community. The passage of time is probably the main factor that makes scientific data gradually fade away. The sheer volume of the literature means that a given piece of published data is more likely to be missed. Along these lines, the explosion in the numbers of journals, and their costs, is well along the way to destroying the usefulness of institutional libraries. Today, the launch of a new journal doesn't bring any more information to our library. On the contrary, it makes the percentage of data that we will never see that much higher. Indicies like Current Contents on Disk are more of a band-aid than a solution. The actual information that is indexed in these sources is limited, relative to what appears in the paper itself. Furthermore, obtaining articles, either by mail or interlibrary FAX, is slow. The development of Internet-accessible databases is a way to increase the efficiency with which data is used, to preserve its value over longer times, and to make it useful to a larger portion of the research community. In these respects, databases could be said to greatly decrease the entropic loss of data that occurs in a print-oriented distribution system. I recently submitted a grant to Canada's Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) specifically intended for the creation of a database for cruciferous plants, other than Arabidopsis. These would include canola, radish, mustard, cabbage and so on. The economic importance of canola (rapeseed) to Canada made it easy to get letters of support from numerous commercial firms from the canola industry. Every crucifer researcher I talked to was enthusiastic about the idea. Unfortunately, this grant was not even sent out for review. The only reason given was that, although a postdoc position was included in the grant, it still did not meet the Mission Statement requirement for training highly specialized personel, since that postdoc would not be doing any actual experiments. Funding databases in science makes the same sense as conserving energy. (If you don't think conservation makes good economic sense, just think about the fact that your gas and electric companies are always urging consumers to conserve.) With databases, the data generated by each research project gets more bang for the buck. Additionally, the ease with which future researchers can access that data saves an awful lot of reinvention of the wheel. This is nowhere more apparent than in areas such as map-based cloning or marker- assisted selection, for which the cumulative knowledge of all prior mapping projects can greatly speed up progress. Both the economic upheavals and technological advances of recent years should be causing us to re-think the way we structure the process of scientific research. I can not visualize a future in which databases to not play a central role in every day science. =============================================================================== Brian Fristensky | Department of Plant Science | Life doesn't imitate art, University of Manitoba | it imitates bad television.

@BitFlipper: I think that Metro apps are about all that are needed by most users, so I don't they'll notice.
I don't share the opinion that the desktop has been crippled, but YMMV. The way I use the Windows 8 desktop is unchanged from the way I was using Windows 7: Search for everything, pin lots of stuff to the task bar. Adding more applications within easy striking distance on the Start screen is just a bonus.

I'd Buy That…Maui
People run around like crazy trying to find sunscreen before they leave yet almost every store sells it in Maui. It seems some stores almost even have it on sale indefinitely, a spray can runs for about $9.99 on sale or $12.99 regular price. Coming from Canada it is harder to find in the winter(…)

Reports are surfacing that thirty-five-year-old actor and singer Mark Salling of GLEE fame was found dead of an apparent suicide today (Jan. 30) in Los Angeles, CA.
The official cause has not yet been released but TMZ reports he may have hung himself.
In a statement to People, attorney Michael Proctor confirmed Salling's passing.
"I can confirm that Mark Salling passed away early this morning. Mark was a gentle and loving person, a person of great creativity, who was doing his best to atone for some serious mistakes and errors of judgement."
It was in October of 2017 that Salling pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography involving a prepubescent minor. A formal sentencing hearing was scheduled for March 7th.
More as the story develops.
