A/N: I do not own these characters. They are the property of ABC and all others responsible for Body of Proof. A short one! Strongly based upon the brilliantly beautiful Chapel Song by We Are Augustines.
The gleaming light of the hot summer sun hit the white walls of the chapel hard. The brilliant blue sky shined with brightness, radiating promises of happiness to those who entered the small white build.
There was quite the turnout, Kate looked around carefully but she had to admit she barely knew half of the attendants. The blonde smiled at every single one of them though, as if she was trying to establish that she was indeed the happiest girl in the whole wide world.
Some of their close colleagues had come over to her and she had politely shaken their hands, synchronous with the trembling that had taken hold of her body as soon as she had opened her eyes that morning. Not that she had been able to get much sleep, Kate knew all too well that after today, things would never be the same again, this was a new beginning for the both of them.
Pretty soon all eyes, including Kate's, were fixed on the aisle. There she was, there was her girl. Megan had refused to wear white. Kate agreed, it was too common, too traditional for someone so vibrant as Megan.
Walking down the aisle, from her outrageously high heels till her lipstick and her veil, the redhead was dressed in the most beautiful shade of burgundy. Sighs of wonder spread through the guests like wildfire but Kate could not hear a thing for the rapid beating of her heart resonated like a drumbeat in her ears. She was sure she had never seen someone look so beautiful, ever.
Kate closed her eyes for a second to let her heartbeat synchronize with the distant sounds coming from the band playing a classic wedding song that could not even begin to describe the emotions that were currently running through her mind, forcing her to open her eyes again before she ended up as a heap on the floor. The sight of her girl, who had by now reached the end of the aisle, was almost too much for the blonde to handle.
The following hour was a blur. Kate's whole being was paralysed by Megan's beauty, eliminating all senses but her view. The only words she heard echo loud and clear through the chapel were the ones that mattered most.
"I do."
Kate stared at the photograph in her hands. The white chapel, the bright blue sky, her girl in burgundy.
A single tear landed right on Megan's face, blurring her features into a pastel shaded chaos. Kate wished she could do the same with all the images of Megan that were still trapped inside her head; blur them until she would be able to forget again what happiness and beauty looked like.
With one swift movement she tore the photograph apart, right through the person standing beside Megan,
mutilating his picture perfect face, like he had done to Kate,
when he married her girl.

Update (10/3/13): Black Button Distilling this week received its "Basic Federal Alcohol Permit" from the U.S. Alcohol Tax and Trade Bureau jujst before the government shutdown. "One license down, six more to go," says owner/distiller Jason Barrett. He credits Senator Charles Schumer. Rep. Louise Slaughter and the New York State Farm Bureau with helping squeeze the license through at the last minute.
(Originally published 7/17/13.)
ROCHESTER — If things go as planned, the city will have its first legal distillery since the end of Prohibition.
Jason Barrett is creating Black Button Distilling, located at 85 Railroad Street at the Rochester Public Market, next to Rohrbach's Brewing Company.
Barrett, who began homebrewing while in college, says he plans to use New York State-grown products for about 90% of the ingredients in distilling gin, vodka, bourbon and whiskey.
Under the state's new farm distilling law, that will qualify Black Button to sell its products on-site as well as offering up to a trio of quarter-ounce samples per tasting session. It also will sell to local bars and restaurants.
Rohrbach's Brewing, which has been in operation in the neighborhood for five years, recently won a tax relief package from Monroe County to renovate its building.

What is real? What is an illusion? What is true in my thoughts? What is a lie? I've come to feel that these questions do not have logical and rational answers, but instead the answers are a choice we have to make. There's no denying or avoiding this choice—denial and avoidance are simply various options.
Be brave enough to feel the urgency of this. In every moment, you are already making a choice, whether you are conscious of it or not. So what are you choosing? What reality are you living in? And why?
My choice is that the reality is love. What is real, is love. What is an illusion, is the absence of it. What is true, is that there is love. What is a lie, is that there is none.
And let me be clear—I am not talking about mamsy-pambsy feel good love like everything is all good so don't worry about it. I'm talking about the stark, irrational, deeply honest love that is unconditional. That's right, the un-conditional love, the love of the goddess, the love of the holy mother, the love of Jesus Christ our Savior, the love of the nameless one, the love of the holies of holies, that deep juicy rich transformative kind of love. This is the reality.
The love that requires me to drop my judgments and my opinions. The love that requires me to speak my truth, and assert my boundaries with passion and precision. The love that requires me to drop my projections onto others and accept myself fully.
The love that requires me to BE love rather than SEEK it. To speak love into being rather than bemoan its lack. The love that requires me to see my whole self, and reveal it to myself, so it can all be loved, for if any part of myself is withheld from my own consciousness, I am setting up a wall. I am forcing the love that is to be limited, conditioned upon my own hiding.
We are all narcissists, at times. A narcissist is anyone who believes that we should only love when there is merit. It is love withheld, love made conditional, it is the effort to control love. That we should love one another when they fulfill our ideas of what a lovable person should be. We begin this bargaining with ourselves. We try everything we can to keep ourselves from actually loving who and what we are. Instead we adopt long and complicated stories about what it would take to just love and accept ourselves. This is the emptiness that we all know too well, the loneliness even when we are never alone.
We must be brave enough to face what the alternative really means. Unconditional love. We've heard about it before but do we really have the strength to believe it?
That's right, Un-conditional. We say that, but do we understand it? No conditions.
Meaning, I love you even though you are pedophile. No conditions.
I will love you even though you are a murderer.
I will love you even though you are a psychopath.
I will love you even though you are a rapist.
I will love you even though you have abused your own family members.
I will love you even though you have molested your own family members.
I will love you even though you have abandoned your children.
I will love you even though you have refused the love of your partner.
I will love you even though you have rejected your gifts.
I will love you even though you are a terrorist.
Can we do it? Can we fathom it? Can we be it? Is it possible that there is love for even these people—and if we can't imagine it, then is there really love for any of us?
To love someone is not to accept their behavior, nor to trust them. To love is to believe that no matter what anyone has ever done, no matter how much damage they have caused, no matter how dark their road has been, there is a light that they can turn to. That there is a wound that can be healed, and a place where love can blossom once again. I'm willing to stand for love in this way, no matter how many times I'm rejected or told that I am being ridiculous. No matter how much I am taught that there is a right way and a wrong way to do things, that there are good people and bad people, and that I have to dole out my approval accordingly. That I have to open my heart to some and not others…no I am just not going to do it.
To be clear I am not saying let's all go wound ourselves by exposing our hearts to the whims of other people who are deeply wounded, and who have turned away so profoundly from the love inside of their very own hearts. Just because we remind people that the reality is love does not mean we then accept their behavior, one that is rooted in the lie that there is no love after all.
After all, this love I am talking about is not satisfied with surface level stuff, this love I am talking about, it is like a heat seeking missile and where it sees the absence of love, where it knows that there is someone lost in the illusion that love does not exist it is not afraid to call it out! To explode upon this illusion a bomb of truth, and to set up firm boundaries, lines in the sand, to demand, choose love is real on this side, or know that I will never be silenced until you do.
That's right I will not stand for anyone who wants to promote these lies any longer, and I will stand in peace and devotion, with my arm outstretched. Choose this reality with me. Stand on the side of the courageous, of the strong-willed, of the truth-tellers, of the mystery lovers, of the boundary pushers, of the artists, the wild eyed ones, and let us howl together as we build up this new world where yes, again and again yes, the reality is love.
If we are to be this kind of love, if we are to trust that this love is the reality, start within. Start within. Do whatever you need to do to make this reality alive inside of you. Don't take no for an answer. Don't take anyone else's needs a priority over your own. Work as hard as you know how to work on this love and believe that you will find it. That you will sow it. And that it will grow. And then once it grows, by its very nature, it will want to spread.
It will want to pour out of you, like the water going over the rocks, like the sprays coming out of the broken fire hydrants attracting the children like moths to a flame to play in its beautiful and messy and broken freedom.
Oh yes, this is the love I am talking about. Can we all decide today to choose it as our reality? What more will it take it make it real than our own collective determination? We are all making a choice, right here, right now. What is yours?

Spurs-Thunder Series Reignites Debate Between Star Power Versus SystemMay 29, 2014
The Western Conference Finals have been half about system and half about talent. The question is, which one will actually prevail?
The Oklahoma City Thunder sit tied at two with the San Antonio Spurs as the series heads back to Texas for Thursday's Game 5. And now, after winning the first two contests of the set, the Spurs have to be wondering if back-to-back blowouts to the star-studded Thunder are cause for concern.
San Antonio has great players on its own, but its offense relies on a more detailed system than Oklahoma City's. The Spurs screen like crazy, don't hold onto the ball much and depend on floor spacing and timely off-ball cuts to get their points. They need rhythm and consistent outside shooting, both of which can be mucked up whereas superstars can usually only be slowed down.
In two games against an OKC defense that was missing Serge Ibaka after the Thunder's best defender was ruled out for the season, San Antonio chiseled Oklahoma City like Michelangelo's David, and the offensive result was as beautiful as anything the Italian sculptor had ever made.
San Antonio averaged 123.4 points per 100 possessions over Games 1 and 2. That's such a high number that it would be a vast understatement to say it would be the best offensive efficiency in the NBA. But then we found out that Ibaka was not, in fact, out for the year, and everything changed.
All of a sudden, Oklahoma City got its athleticism advantage back with the return of yet another star to add to Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook. And coincidence or not, San Antonio hasn't been the same since.
In its simplest form, the Spurs bank on system and the Thunder lean on their talent and youth. But if the Spurs are the tortoise to the Thunder's hare, then why has OKC wrecked San Antonio with every step over the past two games?
Essentially, the Spurs have been caught out of their comfort zone.
If you rely on the system, then it actually has to work. As tremendous as the Thunder stars have been in Games 3 and 4 of this series (especially Westbrook, who went for 40 points, 10 assists, five rebounds and five steals in a 105-92 Game 4 victory), the Spurs' system has let down.
Go back and watch Games 1 and 2 against OKC, and the Spurs were spreading the ball around like peanut butter. The spacing was...well, it was Spurs-like to such a degree that I felt possessed enough to write 2,500 words chronicling exactly why it was so effective after Game 2.
You can credit Ibaka or Thunder adjustments, but the Spurs just looked different in Game 4. The spacing went away, and some of that was purely on them, like on this play that Coach Nick of BBall Breakdown pointed out, when San Antonio had two guys purposelessly standing right next to each other in the corner:
This isn't just on the Spurs losing their mojo or the Thunder's best defensive player making his return. Let's give some credit to the rarely lauded (and sometimes overly criticized) Scott Brooks, as well, who has crafted a dependable defense, which takes advantage of its freakish personnel. But let's not take all the credit away from Ibaka either, because the "star power," or more so the athleticism, is what can change this series.
Ibaka is the definition of a guy who defends the rim, but that doesn't always mean blocking shots. He was never the Serge Protector until this year.
In the past, he used to miss rotations, bite on every pump fake and find himself out of position far too often. Now, he's deterring shots and making some Spurs become particularly passive. Namely, Tiago Splitter looks like a bigger pushover than Donna Martin.
Plays like this, when Splitter should be shooting, have killed San Antonio:
That's just a Spur seeing Ibaka, getting scared and not taking a shot he should. Splitter has a few feet of free space to put up a four-footer and make a shot or possibly get fouled, but Ibaka's rotation throws him off completely:
That's just overpassing. It's the presence of Ibaka's athleticism changing the mentality of a team whose reputation says that its mind is near perfection.
It's possible Splitter actually feels too comfortable giving the ball up there, considering how fluid his big-to-big chemistry is with Tim Duncan, but if he isn't going to produce when he's in the post with his Hall of Fame counterpart, then maybe giving Boris Diaw some more minutes to stretch the floor wouldn't be the worst plan.
No, that's clearly not going to help counter OKC's athleticism, but the Spurs won't be able to do that anyway. Remember, for San Antonio this is all about scheme, and getting a little more spacing from a guy who knocked in 40.2 percent of his threes during the regular season may convince Ibaka to stray from the hoop a little more often.
Of late, the Spurs aren't playing their game. The problem is that when there are lapses, athleticism is often going to prevail.
Again, this isn't necessarily an issue of superstardom.
The Spurs have one of the 10 best players of all time in Duncan. They have a top-three or -four point guard in Tony Parker. They have another Hall of Famer in Manu Ginobili.
Just because those guys don't lead the NBA in endorsements or talk inappropriate amounts of trash doesn't mean they're not superstars. Duncan and Parker, especially, are the absolute definition of the word.
What they're not are top-tier athletes.
Westbrook is a martial artist. Parker is at the arts and crafts studio. And Duncan is the teacher overseeing all the kids at their tables.
But when the arts-and-crafts kids stop building with wood and start trying to chop through it, that's when you have your issues. And in Games 3 and 4, San Antonio has partly gotten away from what it does best. Basically, the Spurs just haven't looked as prepared as you'd expect.
That sounds insane to say about a Gregg Popovich-coached team, but maybe that's why Pop benched all his starters for the final 17 minutes of Game 4, keeping those guys in warm-ups even when it looked like the backups were within closing distance of the Thunder.
After the contest, Pop was his usually brief self. When asked if he considered bringing his starters back into the game, he responded, "Nope, because I didn't see any sense in it."
He went on to clarify that he was thinking about giving his best players some time to rest before Game 5.
And maybe it did have something to do with rest. Maybe it was a motivational tactic. Or maybe Pop was trying to get his guys to pay attention, something they didn't really do in Game 4.
Nothing tells the story of the Spurs' Game 4 struggles better than Parker's three turnovers. And it's not that he was reckless; he was just somewhat unaware.
Watch Westbrook trail Parker and knock away the ball from behind him on these plays:
Mostly, these are just tremendous plays from the most athletic guard in the league. The speed to catch up to Parker, along with the coordination and prediction to get to the ball, make both of those plays ones almost no other player can make. But Parker shouldn't be shocked by that move.
Actually, he should be surprised if he doesn't see it.
Lunging for the ball-handler from behind is one of Westbrook's favorite on-ball, defensive moves. That exact play is one of the reasons why he's earned the reputation of a "gambler" on the defensive end.
Parker, who's dribbling high and seems to be unaware of exactly what his defender is doing, has to know Russ is coming for him. Trying to get the steal from behind the ball-handler is often his first move, and like a gambling addict, when Russ gets it to work once in a game, he obsessively goes to that strategy even more, thinking he'll get the steal every time.
Normally, someone like Parker knows that. It's un-Spurs-like for him to have that sort of lapse. But over the past couple of games, San Antonio has made those sorts of plays.
When you don't have the athleticism advantage, you have to make sure to out-execute. And over the past two games, the Thunder defense, with its size, speed and quickness, has made sure to eliminate the grease of the Spurs attack.
All statistics current as of May 29 and from Basketball-Reference.com and NBA.com unless otherwise noted.
Fred Katz averaged almost one point per game in fifth grade, but he maintains his per-36-minute numbers were astonishing. Find more of his work at RotoWire.com, WashingtonPost.com or on ESPN's TrueHoop Network at ClipperBlog.com. Follow him on Twitter at @FredKatz.

From the Chronicle Kitchen:
This week's recipe comes from the gorgeous new Spanish cookbook Rustica, written by native Barcelonan Frank Comorra. His more than 100 recipes featured in the book come from all the varied corners of Espana. This is one of my favorites to date – perfect for a cool autumn evening (and of course feel free to substitute some of the vegetables below with more seasonal offerings).
Do you love the food of Spain and, if so, what in particular about it? Have you made a menestra before? Leave a comment and you'll be eligible to win a copy we'll be rewarding to one lucky person next week.
!Buen provecho!
Menestra de Verduras
Seasonal vegetables with garlic, tomato, and jamón
A menestra is a braise of vegetables in a jamón-infused tomato sauce. In Spain, it is eaten as a first course, perhaps before some meat. Menestras are always a seasonal dish and are made with whatever vegetables are plentiful, so don't be limited to the ones in the recipe. For some vegetables, the cooking times may seem quite long – don't worry, they are correct. That's simply the nature of some Spanish cooking. (I believe we have swung the other way and now actually undercook our vegetables!) The tang of the tomato sauce brings everything together, marrying the earthy flavor of the vegetables with the richness of the oil and jamón.
6 medias raciones
5 artichokes, halved and stems removed
1 large roasting potato, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
1 lb Brussels sprouts
2/3 lb baby carrots, peeled and trimmed
2/3 lb baby turnips, peeled, trimmed and halved
1/2 lb large green beans, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2-inch lengths
6 ripe tomatoes
2 garlic cloves, peeled
2 tablespoons fine sea salt
1 1/2 oz (about 3 tablespoons) jamón fat, finely chopped
3 tablespoons roughly chopped parsley
Extra virgin olive oil, to drizzle
Crusty bread, to serve
Bring a large saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the vegetables separately, beginning with the artichokes for 15 minutes, then the potato, Brussels sprouts, carrots and turnips for 10 minutes each, and 5 minutes for the beans. Remove the vegetables each time with a slotted spoon, drain well and spread out on a baking sheet to cool.
Meanwhile, place the tomatoes, garlic cloves and 1 teaspoon of the sea salt in a food processor and blend until roughly pureed.
Place the chopped jamón fat and 3 tablespoons of the olive oil in a small saucepan and cook over low heat for 15 minutes, or until the fat has rendered. Remove and discard any jamón pieces and reserve the fat. Place the drained vegetables, tomato puree and chopped jamón in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan and simmer over medium heat for 15 minutes. Pour in the remaining olive oil and cook for another 15 minutes, or until the flavor and texture of the vegetables are well integrated and the edges of the vegetables are just starting to break down.
Stir the melted jamón fat, remaining sea salt and the chopped parsley into the vegetables. Place on a warm serving dish, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and serve hot, with crusty bread.

I love, love, love Spanish food! A good Spanish friend of mine taught me to make authentic Tortilla. The secret is boiling thinly sliced potato in oil on a low setting. Do this in a wok and make sure the potato doesn't colour at all, just slow boil them til they melt in your mouth and then drain. Whisk eggs with some salt and put in small frying pan with drained potato slices and that is it! Do not add any other ingredients. Turn and cook on both sides. Yummy!

This is an awesome recipe for an awesome dish. I remember the many times I had this while in Spain.. absolutely delicious!

I love the flavor of pimenton de la vera — which is the flavor of Spanish cooking!

I do love the food of Spain. I love the chipirones (tiny squid), the Jamon. chorizo. morcilla, olive oil from siurana, pan tomate, the wine, the tapas (not like in America). Tapas is an amazing display of tasty tidbits and an entire social scene.

I love the amazing flavors in Spanish food, especially those from picadas and sofrito. If you have these two items in your freezer, you can cook food quickly that has complex, delicious flavors! But my all time favorite Spanish food has to be chocolate con churros!

Being from a spanish family I must love spanish food, but keeping my mine open for dishes like these that I have not tried and will do is what is great in life. Thank you for the classic stuff!

So…following their logic: If a penis is God's telephone, is premature ejaculation what happens when God has you on speed dial?
…and impotence means God dialed the wrong number? It all makes so much sense now!

More Yakuza 5 details unfold
Upcoming sequel set for PS3 featuring new engine; Sega to search for "Miss Yakuzas" to promote game.
We'll begin emailing you updates about %gameName%.
Last October, producer Toshihiro Nagoshi revealed a few small details about the upcoming fifth installment in the Yakuza (Ryu ga Gotoku) series. The producer shared more information on the game's setting in a recent issue of Japanese magazine Famitsu (via Andriasang).
The game's narrative picks up after the events of Yakuza 4, and the game's producer will be Masayoshi Yokoyama, who previously worked on scripts and scenarios for past Yakuza titles. Further details regarding multiple protagonists like in Yakuza 4 have yet to be revealed.
Producer Toshihiro Nagoshi said in the article that if the series were like a house, Yakuza 5 would be building a new house instead of adding an extension. The game will take place in a city from each of the five districts in Japan: Sapporo, Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, and Fukuoka. Nagoshi said that the cities will be just as big as the digital representations of Dotonburi and Ryukyu in previous titles. He also added that the game's engine will be improved to allow seamless battles and conversations, as well as improved camera work.
On a related note, Sega will be touring the aforementioned five cities early next year in search of female candidates for the game. The winning girls will appear in Yakuza 5 representing their respective cities and will promote the game throughout commercials. Eligible contestants in Japan will need to be 18 years or over to participate. After the initial screen test, the auditions will be held from February 18 to March 4, 2012. Sega will be holding an online poll from March to June, with the final winners to be announced in June.
Gamers can check out the recent promotional video of the tour here and the audition page here. A release date for the game has yet to be announced.

When are we going to do something about FM radio?
America has an amazing amount of incredible music, some even recorded before the 20th Century. But only occasionally do we hear a smattering of '20s and '30s jazz, vintage country & western, hillbilly, blues and folk recordings, and usually only at odd hours on non-commercial radio stations. Instead of providing its listeners with the rich tradition of American music (and other great music from around the world) FM radio permeates the airwaves with absolute rubbish.
As a truck driver I am constantly scanning the FM dial as I travel the country over the roads, far and wide. I have come to detect that music is roughly being corralled into genres of horribleness on the radio dial.
Toward the top of the dial you'll find top-forty schmaltz. What comes out of the speakers is some sort of cacophony of music-like sound, played by bands with names unknown to anyone much over 25 who play as if music has no past. It is fluff, built on nothing faintly solid. Listening for any length of time to this bitsy drivel makes me worry for future generations.
Next in line are a few "classic rock" stations. Instead of playing "the music of my (baby-boomer) life" we are treated to endless iterations of Eagles, Fleetwood Mac songs and the like. You are lucky to hear an occasional Beatles or Rolling Stone song (but always the same ones, never their more obscure and creative and interesting tunes). I guess the "classic" age of rock was the 70s and 80s. But as far as I'm concerned the most classic year for rock was 1967 – or any rock 'n' roll or doo-wop or (real) rhythm and blues from the 1950s through the early psychedelic era and up until about 1972.
As you continue down the dial you'll hear heavy metal, hard-driving, worn-out guitar riff-raff junk. Especially when I hear the hideous screaming that accompanies this headachy noise (that stands-in for lyrics) I sometimes think this stuff comes directly from the depths of hell, appreciated mostly by soldier-robots who have delighted in mindless killing out and about the Middle East, or by tow truck-driving grundoons who just plain hate to think about much of anything.
Around the middle of the dial are the "new country" stations. Here the listener is treated to the latest from representatives of the dumbed-down idiocracy, bleating in puerile-sounding glissandos, oft times rap-like, but with an affected country twang. I'd vote this genre as the most tasteless and degenerative. Its lyrics are banal and offensive to the ear. They have zero musicality. One gets the feeling that these tunes are contracted for by some factory that pumps this gruel for witless twits to mouth for deluded masses with bad eating habits whose brain cells have been misfiring since they began to teethe.
Sprinkled in the middle of the dial is the equally no-talent black, hip-hop stuff that hardly qualifies as music. This recorded, repetitive ignorance is more like a virus that implants mind parasites guaranteed to leech the goodness from the soul. There is also another brand of black music to be found around mid-to-low dial that is a caricature of earlier, real soul singers. These no-voice pretenders just swoon in a mock "black style". The music has no originality, let alone any true, heartfelt authenticity capable of stirring the soul of even a chipmunk.
Besides the burgeoning Spanish-speaking stations, as we continue down the dial we inevitably encounter what is termed "National Public Radio." In fact, this is the voice of your nanny government disguised as caring and concerned, complete with reasonable-sounding poseurs who are paid to spout the latest propaganda. It is a sugar-coated version of events from the perspective of those who stage-manage the actions of Empire, and who also control the media. You'll probably be best off if you accept the opposite of what is being preached here. The same goes for the BBC. True, (unlike NPR) the Brits broadcast for an audience on a higher level than a four-year old. So they are more intelligent in their delivery. And with their oh-so-authoritative British accents they offer up more believable hodge-podge of news and interviews. But be not fooled – it is more of the mind control of Empire coming at you. (This becomes especially noticeable when you hear a pompous, Brit Interviewer talking in a strident and hectoring manner to some "more indigenous" interviewee – who may even happen to be a deputy head of state.)
Also on the lower end of the dial are the preachers, most with Southern accents, pandering to the audience with such terms as "family radio" and "Bible-based theology". It seems mostly Baptist, but there is also Catholic radio to be had. I sometimes listen to their Bible stories and their moralizing. I used to enjoy listening to gospel music, occasionally, but there's not a whole lot of that left. Instead there is this something else going on – I cannot fathom the value of recently minted, so-called "Christian music" with its cloying and saccharin vibes and "Godly" (or should it be "goodly"?) sentiments.
Other than NPR, the BBC and the preachers, there is very little, if any, talk to be had on FM radio anymore. Mostly it comes in the form of morning radio shows, like the Bob and Mike show or Lisa and John in the morning – jackasses all, spewing their trash talk and mindlessly guffawing about nothing. One can occasionally tune in the deluded branch of the right wing, like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity or Mark Levin. The role of these dupes is to fire up the audience anxiety level and give the impression that We the People know what's going on. It's a game of blame shifting, usually to the puppets in Congress, instead of exposing their paymasters and handlers. This type of invective is noteworthy for what it leaves out in the overall calculus of corruption and deceit.
And so, as a purveyor of the FM dial I have come to some conclusions. Nanny government controls the otherwise freely accessible FM dial stations (recently known as music and talk radio). Commercial interests advertise their products here – even the latest TV shows and internet social media feeds are hawked on FM now. Disc jockeys and radio announcers are not allowed much discretion in analysis and presentation. It seems that Clear Channel (or its successor) runs the whole show now, together with the FCC. There seems to be a big suspicion and fear of real music and authentic, public discussions of issues. I've heard that real jazz (not the imitation, easy-listening variety) arouses the anarchist soul – and of course discussion kindles thinking (an anachronism no longer wanted or tolerated by our would-be, globo-masters). But I think there's really something more demonic going on than the mere political; I think the government wants to keep the populace who listen to FM radio in a state of demoralization or "vibrational deprivation," for lack of a better term. All I know is that there is some asinine desire by those who think of themselves as our controllers to deprive us of our rich musical legacy - those vibrations that soothe, educate, and please. Why?
When are we going to do something about FM radio?

Today's post is a question I really can't answer. Another essay in the Norton Critical Edition (1983) of Humphry Clinker is by Wolfgang Iser, "The Generic Control of the Aesthetic Response: An Examination of Smollett's Humphry Clinker." Iser examines the epistolary form of Humphry Clinker and compares it with that of Richardson's novels, and finds them different. According to the essay, "[t]he letter-form offered itself as a means whereby Richardson could capture the introspection he sought to portray" in "deal[ing] with the spiritual life of the characters." Iser claims that "[t]he letter-form facilitates this self-examination insofar as it externalizes inner emotions." On the other hand:
If Humphry Clinker is considered against this background, only the form of observation that we find in the different correspondents can be equated with that developed by Richardson. The individual personality of the letter-writer is present in everything he records. However, in Smollett the observations are no longer concerned with self-analysis, but with the changing situations that occur during the journey through town and country. For Richardson, the letter-form was a means of self-revelation to be achieved through a variety of situations, and it was on this central theme of self-discovery that the events of the epistolary novel were hinged. For Smollett, this central theme loses its importance. Richardson attached importance to the individual situation of his heroines only insofar as it led them to self-analysis and all the consequences resulting from it, but Smollett takes the situation itself as a theme.
Now, I should say that this is not a negative thing for Iser; he is not knocking Humphry Clinker here, in fact he seems to be saying that it makes HC more complex because it can deal with more than just its characters' inner moral life.
But my question is this: where is the self-analysis in Richardson? These claims about Richardson's novels were what I had been generally led to believe, before starting this project, that I should expect from epistolary fiction. The idea that the letter allows the author to "externalize inner emotions" is something I ran into…I don't know where, but that's the impression I had of at least one notion of the "point" of the epistolary form. And I may have been unfortunately blinded by my dislike of Pamela, but I really did not see this happening there much.
Yes, Pamela thinks about herself and her situation a lot. She spends a lot of time "talk[ing] about [her] vartue," agonizing over the awful way she's been treated, and wishing she could go home to her poor but honest parents. But is this self-analysis? Is there any self-discovery? The little tiny bit of self-discovery there is, where Pamela realizes that after all she's in love with Mr B., is minimized by her for obvious reasons—because it's absurd and embarrassing. And I just can't think of any more self-discovery than that. Pamela isn't on some kind of spiritual journey. Is she?
Now, admittedly, Iser talks more about Clarissa in this essay than about Pamela, and my understanding is that Clarissa and Charles Grandison are better-developed than Richardson's first novel. Maybe they really do show the self-analysis that's claimed; I hope so. But Pamela is not excluded from those claims here, and I just didn't see it. In fact, it was something I had expected to be able to write about after reading Pamela, since I'd expected it to be a major feature, but I didn't mention it because it didn't seem to be there.
I guess it's months now since I finished Pamela and maybe my prejudice combined with the elapsed time is making me forget; that's why this post is really a question. Did I miss it?

Travel season opened this year, in January
I used to be very urban and mostly loved visiting big cities, with their museums and outstanding architecture (still love that!) But people change – hopefully evolve Changing ways – now I love nature, too. Above all, places with "water". So in January I went to some places in South America, and was so amazed by what I saw! Cozy little cities, waterfalls, lakes, nice churches!
I was really impressed! Let's see some pictures! And why not some comfy outfits

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Also called: CO poisoning
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a gas that has no odor or color. But it is very dangerous. It can cause sudden illness and death. CO is found in combustion fumes, such as those made by cars and trucks, lanterns, stoves, gas ranges and heating systems. CO from these fumes can build up in places that don't have a good flow of fresh air. You can be poisoned by breathing them in. The most common symptoms of CO poisoning are
- Headache
- Dizziness
- Weakness
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Chest pain
- Confusion
It is often hard to tell if someone has CO poisoning, because the symptoms may be like those of other illnesses. People who are sleeping or intoxicated can die from CO poisoning before they have symptoms. A CO detector can warn you if you have high levels of CO in your home.

Daniel Cormier Wants Frank Mir Fight in San JoseJanuary 4, 2013
Strikeforce heavyweight kingpin Daniel Cormier will cap off his career with the promotion that made him famous this January 12. Then it's off to the UFC to play with the big boys.
Far from being intimidated by the impending move, Cormier is already looking forward to matching up with some of the best the UFC has to offer. Namely, he wants to have a go at perennial contender Frank Mir.
Cormier recently spoke to Fight Hub TV about his UFC intentions.
"When I come in [to the UFC], I am going to stay at heavyweight and I really want to fight Frank Mir," he explained. "That is the fight I want."
Cormier and Mir were originally slated for a Strikeforce showdown last year, but the bout was scrapped when Mir suffered an injury while training.
The Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix winner communicated his hopes that that a match with Mir could be rescheduled to go down in San Jose, where he trains at American Kickboxing Academy.
I would love for it to be on the FOX show here in San Jose. April 20th, fight Frank Mir, on FOX, have it be a free broadcast and that will help expose me and get more fans behind me who may not know me. That is what I want right now. That is the fight I have trained for, and would be excited to train for it again; Mir wants the fight, I think it would be a great fight. It's like we are doing Joe Silva's job for him.
Of course, first things first. Before Cormier can look ahead to April 20, he'll have to get past Dion Staring later this month. But the 33-year-old clearly has his sights set high with a name like Mir.
What say you? Is Cormier vs. Mir a heavyweight tussle you're interested in seeing? Leave it in the comments.

June 2012 Lookbook: Prep for the Rain
June 4th, 2012
This look is part of Omiru's June 2012 Lookbook series, which builds upon our 16-Piece June 2012 Capsule Wardrobe. See more information about this look.
June may mark the start of summer, but for most of us, it's not the end of the rainy season. What's the secret to a great summery rainy day look? As always - layers. Your foundation should feel seasonally appropriate - but you can be prepared to stay out of the rain with a few glamourous rainy day accessories. Here's how to get our East Coast prep version of the summery rainy day look:
1. Start with a classic preppy foundation - a pair of nantucket reds with a vibrant green blouse. The pink and green combo definitely feels feminine - but with a dose of American Trad.
2. Slip on your trenchcoat. No need to go fancy here - a classic double breasted style in a putty color will do. (Bonus points for playing with color here though!)
3. It's raining out - so grab your wellies (gold for a little glamour) and your umbrella before you hit the road.
How would you dress for a rainy day? Share your style in the comments!

Sylvia Krzysztofek's 'Beauty' photo set explores all aspects of feminine allure. From a wayward corkscrew curl to a bare ribcage or the palm of a hand, Sylvia Krzysztofek adeptly catalogues every aspect of a woman without delving into sexuality.
I'm particularly taken with Sylvia Krzysztofek's shots of movement. The woman behind the frosted panel, the jumping model and the slouched-over model in the gallery above are the ones I'm thinking of. Check out some more looks at beauty below.

We have never attempted to conceal our fascination with movies starring non-human primates. That quirk of our character shines through yet again in this week's Bad Movie Friday installment, featuring the 1951 Ronald Regan vehicle Bedtime for Bonzo.

A Taxidermist's Best Friend

Nearly a year ago, we marveled at the way in which ancient physicians used ant jaws as sutures. Blame our childhood Flintstones habit, but we have a soft spot for techniques that require the assistance of live animals. And so imagine our glee upon discovering the role that dermestid beetles play in the twin disciplines […]

This will be our last Ug99-related post, we promise. But before we ended our brief run of bonus material related to "The Red Menace", we thought we'd shout out one of the potential heroes of this story: the late A.E. Watkins, a British botanist who spent much of the 1930s roaming the globe in search […]
Nothing Like the First Time
February 25th, 2010 · 1 Comment
In researching our forthcoming Wired piece on drug and alcohol abuse, we've found ourselves keenly interested in the tales that addicts tell about their first inebriatory experiences. One common thread we've found is a sense that the first drink or dose provided something that the person had always been searching for—the intoxicant made them whole, […]

Already plugging away on our next Wired feature, this time about addiction rather than wheat-devouring fungi (or, for that matter, the creative benefits of social media.

Fortunately, we've got The Skatalites […]

Using the Red Menace Against the Reds
February 24th, 2010 · 3 Comments
One of the most interesting things about Ug99, the fungus that is currently threatening the world's wheat supply, is how it managed to sneak up on us. For nearly four decades, the disease that the Puccinis graminis pathogen causes, known as stem rust, was little seen in the wild, and certainly no great peril to […]

The Wired cover story this month is not our Ug99 opus, but rather a brilliant meditation on the future of money. A couple of years hence, you can forget about the ATM—just think "pay this man," and neural implants will automatically wire dough from your bank account to your creditor. Or something like that. In […]

It took over half-a-year, but the Wired piece that brought us out to Kenya last fall is finally live. It's the tale of a wheat-killing fungus called Ug99, which is currently sweeping across Central Asia. The pathogen is remarkable because it can easily overcomes the genetic defenses created by the Green Revolution. As a result, […]

An Applebee's recently opened up here in Atlah, and it's doing pretty decent business on a strip of 125th Street that attracts scant foot traffic at night. Perhaps we shouldn't be surprised at the restaurant's success, seeing as how we praised the chain's business acumen in a 2005 Slate column. But we do find it […]

Ending the Cycle of Blood
February 23rd, 2010 · 2 Comments
In reading about the persistence of clan feuding on Mindanao, we got to thinking about how governments can best end such cycles of revenge. Our natural assumption is that these feuds exist where organized justice is in short supply, and so familial units take over the role of punishing offenders. But a University of Maryland […]

Because so few potential clients are directly threatened by volcanoes, the insurance industry hasn't developed sophisticated models to estimate damage due to cataclysmic eruptions.

There's an old chestnut (of dubious veracity) about how more rock climbers perish in auto accidents to-and-from the cliffs than from accidental falls.

For the record, we think Harvey Keitel's performance in Bad Lieutenant is one of the most awesome acting jobs in cinematic history.

The lamentable advent of Bud Select 55 got us thinking about the history of nutritional science—or, rather, the ways in which dodgy scientific claims have been used to peddle all manner of food products.

Living in Europe during the Middle Ages was certainly no picnic, given the abundance of horrid diseases, the precariousness of the food supply, and the constant threat of having one's arms lopped off by a passing knight. Yet how much agony and anxiety did the denizens of Medieval fiefdoms really experience? Not bloody much, given […]

Our affection for the Indian sport of kabaddi is well-known around these parts. But our taste in the athletics of the subcontinent doesn't always run toward the brutal, as proven by the soft spot we've recently developed for kho-kho, which can perhaps be best described as a formalized version of freeze tag. We won't pretend […]

Nations at odds have long resorted to counterfeiting one another's currencies, on the theory that doing so can severely undermine a foe's economy. But the tactic just doesn't sting like it used to, in part because cash is so less essential today, but also because the increasing sophistication of anti-counterfeiting technology has made the gambit […]

Hanged Man is a puzzle in Silent Hill 2. You will find it after defeating Abstract Daddy.
This puzzle is divided into two parts. The first room will have six stuffed bodies with a note on their face. Examine each one to discover their respective crimes and make a note of their positions as they will be random. Their crimes can be any of the following:
- Counter fitting
- Arson
- Kidnapping
- Swindling
- Murder
- Thievery
- Bodily Injury
The second room will have six nooses hanging from the ceiling in the same order as the bodies from the first. Two signs will be next to the door. They first will give you a poem depending on the riddle difficulty. You need to figure out who the innocent man is based on this poem. The second sign tells you this:
"Notice! Pull ye balance on a rope's frayed end. Go and return and the error be mended. Beware ye though the punishment sended.
Only the sinless one can help you here. Mistakenly pull on a criminal's rope and your reward will be returned to you in a shape most wondrously strange."
Once you've figured out who the innocent man is, go to the noose that corresponds to his position in the first room and give it a tug. Return to the first room to find the Key of the Persecuted where the innocent man's body once hung.
EditEasy Difficulty
"He committed an evil crime. He turned a happy home into a pile of ash. For that, he should die.
They also committed crimes. They tried to fraud and trick others. So their reward too is natural.
Even he cannot be forgiven, My friend without his left hand. And so his death bothers me not.
And what of him? He also is not sinless. There is only one here who is innocent.
The missing child was nowhere to be found, And so there was no proof of his guilt. His death was a tragedy.
That is all I wish to say. It was neither justice nor retribution."
Solution: The correct answer is the Kidnapper.
EditNormal Difficulty
"Dead men, dead men
swinging in a tree
How many dead men
do you see?
Tongue turned blue and
face gone grey
Watch them as they
twist and sway.
The first one killed
the butcher man
Then cooked him in
the frying pan
Served him to his hungry guests
And gave them seconds on request
The next one with his smile
and sweets
Stole poor children off the streets
To men who dressed unsavory
He sold them into slavery
Breaking into a home at night
The thief he had a nasty fright
Filled his foolish head with ale
Woke in the morn
in the county jail
The artist with his daunting skills
Tried his hand at painting bills
But caught in rain he was undone
When the ink he'd use did
start to run
With promises of great return
Taking gold he did not earn
Bundled it up out of sight
Quietly slipped off into the night
Three houses into ashes burned
The sheriff with no place to turn
Did spy a stranger to his town
Locked him up and beat him down
Dead men, dead men
swinging in a tree
How many dead men
do you see?
Six feet long and
six men wide
Round their necks
the noose be tied."
Solution: The correct answer is the Arsonist. The sheriff picked a stranger off the street and charged him with the crime.

The 20th Anniversary Nighthawk Standard retains all the distinctive ingredients that make this unique breed of Gibson so special, including the 25-½ scale length for firm lows and chiming highs, the comfortable body contours, through-body stringing and unique Nighthawk bridge, and the superb versatility of a trio of different yet complementary pickups, with push-pull coil splitting for the bridge pickup. A high-gloss nitrocellulose finish in your choice of Antique Natural or Fireburst over a gorgeous figured Grade-AAA maple top, deluxe split parallelogram fingerboard inlays, gold-hardware, and a truss-rod cover hot-stamped in gold with œNighthawk 20th Anniversary all make this an extra special addition to the proud line.
Body and Neck
The 20th Anniversary Nighthawk Standard' body follows the Nighthawk' stylized take on Gibson' legendary Les Paul, with a scaled-down body with deeper cutaway, and ribcage contour for enhanced playing comfort. Its top is made from figured Grade-AAA maple, and its back is solid mahogany. A solid, quarter-sawn mahogany neck with a 25-½ scale length is glued into the body and carved in a comfortably rounded profile that measures .818 at the 1st fret and .963 at the 12th. The guitar has a bound fingerboard made from solid Grade-A rosewood, inlaid with split parallelogram position markers. A Corian nut cut on Gibson' computer-controlled PLEK helps to ensure optimum sustain and precise intonation.
Pickups and Electronics
Much of the 20th Anniversary Nighthawk Standard' unparalleled versatility is found in its trio of different yet complementary pickups. The Nighthawk Mini-Humbucker in the neck position offers a rich, throaty growl, but with plenty of definition; an NSX Nighthawk Single-Coil in the middle offers both snappy funk tones and thumping midrange; and the Nighthawk Lead Humbucker in the bridge position yields tones from mammoth crunch to articulate, singing lead sounds. Just pop up the tone control' push-pull switch to tap brighter single-coil sounds, and blend myriad combinations of these with the five-way switch. Master tone and volume controls make on-the-fly adjustments a breeze.
Hardware and Plastics
Through-body stringing and a rock-solid Nighthawk bridge lend superb resonance and massive sustain to this high-concept guitar. The bridge, strap buttons, and vintage-style œGibson Deluxe tuners are all gold-plated, as are the pickup' mounting rings and the neck pickup cover. Amber œtop-hat knobs lend an air of Gibson tradition, and the guitar wears no pickguard to obscure the beauty of its highly figured top.
Cases and Coverage
All guitars come protected in a black Gibson hardshell case, and include a Gibson owner' manual and adjustment literature.

AIJ Client Human Holdings Seeks Compensation for Losses as Shares Tumble
Human Holdings Co. (2415), the school and healthcare company that's plunged 9 percent since disclosing it was a client of suspended AIJ Investment Advisors Co. (0202964D), pledged to seek compensation for losses from the Japanese asset manager.
Human Holdings is speaking with its lawyers to see if it can claim damages for possible losses on the 330 million yen ($4.1 million) that AIJ managed for the company as of Dec. 31, Yusuke Kawashita, an executive officer, said in an interview.
Japan's Financial Services Agency suspended AIJ for a month on Feb. 24 while it finds out what happened to the more than $2 billion of assets managed by the firm. The impact on net income from any losses on Human Holdings' investment won't exceed 330 million yen, Kawashita said, without specifying an amount or when it would book any charge.
"We find it very regrettable that the reported performance was unrealistic and untrue," Kawashita said by telephone today. "We are now in discussions on how to legally claim as much compensation as possible."
Shares of Tokyo-based Human Holdings have fallen for six days since it disclosed its investment with AIJ on Feb. 29, the worst losing streak since Japan's record earthquake last March. They fell 1.8 percent to 32,900 yen at the trading close today, compared with a 1.6 percent gain in the benchmark Topix Index. The stock reached a 21-month high of 36,300 yen on Feb. 28.
Phone calls to AIJ today reached an automated recording that didn't take messages.
Investing Since 2002
Human Holdings was founded in 2002 and started investing money through AIJ that year, Kawashita said. The company is one of the few Japanese clients of AIJ that didn't invest pension assets. All except two of AIJ's 120 domestic contracts were with pension funds as of Dec. 31, 2010, according to a regulatory filing submitted by the fund manager last March.
In February, Human forecast net income will more than double to 692 million yen for the year ending March 31, on 50.9 billion yen of revenue. The company, which has about 2,000 employees and 15 subsidiaries in Japan and abroad, listed on the Jasdaq exchange in 2004.
Kawashita said Human may pursue legal action once the Securities and Exchange Surveillance Commission, the FSA's investigative arm, finishes inspecting AIJ.
The regulator may extend its one-month suspension as investigations into the asset manager expand to Hong Kong, two government officials with knowledge of the matter said. Japanese authorities called on their Hong Kong counterparts to help find out what happened to the 185.3 billion yen of assets managed by AIJ and determine any wrongdoing, one of the officials said.
Tokyo-based AIJ told regulators that its assets under management have dwindled to about 24 billion yen, including 4 billion yen in cash and deposits, one of the officials said.
