H. D. (Hilda Doolittle). (1956). Tribute to Freud. Writing on the Wall. Boston: D. R. Godine [1974]
IT WAS VIENNA, 1933-1934. I had a room in the Hotel Regina, Freiheitsplatz. I had a small calendar on my table. I counted the days and marked them off, calculating the weeks. My sessions were limited, time went so quickly. As I stopped to leave my key at the desk, the hall porter said, 'Some day, will you remember me to the Professor?' I said I would if the opportunity arose. He said, '-and ah, the Frau Professor! There is a wonderful lady.' I said I had not met the Frau Professor but had heard that she was the perfect wife for him and there couldn't be could there? - a greater possible compliment. The porter said, 'You know Berggasse? After the - well, later when the Professor is no longer with us, they will name it Freudgasse.' I went down Berggasse, turned in the familiar entrance; Berggasse 19 Wien IX~ it was. There were wide stone steps and a balustrade. Sometimes I met someone else coming down.
The stone staircase was curved. There were two doors on the landing. The one to the right was the Professor's professional door; the one to the left, the Freud family door. Apparently, the two apartments had been arranged so that there should be as little confusion as possible between family and patients or students; there was the Professor who belonged to us, there was the Professor who belonged to the family; it was a large family with ramifications, in-laws, distant relatives, family friends. There were other apartments above but I did not very often pass anyone on the stairs. except the analysand whose hour preceded mine.
My hours or sessions had been arranged for me, four days a week from five to six; one day, from twelve to one. At least, that was the arrangement for the second series of sessions which, I have noted, began the end of October 1934.1 left a number of books and letters in Switzerland when I left there actually after the war had begun; among them was my 1933 Vienna diary. I am under the impression that the Professor had arranged the second series to accord with the first, as I had often said to him that that near-evening hour was almost my favorite of the whole day. Anyhow, I had five weeks then. The last session was December 1, 1934. The first series began in March 1933 and lasted somewhat longer, between three and four months. I had not planned on coming back to Vienna, but a great deal had happened between the summer of 1933 and the autumn of 1934.1 had heard the news of the Dollfuss affair with some anxiety, but that had not caused any personal repercussions. I came back to Vienna because I heard about the man I sometimes met, coming down the stairs. He had been lecturing at a conference in Johannesburg. He flew his own plane there. On the way back, he crashed in Tanganyika.
I DID NOT always pass him on the stairs. He might be lingering on, prolonging his talk in the Professor's study or consulting room, in which case, after hanging up my coat in the hall, I might miss him. I would be ushered direct into the waiting room. Or it might happen that my predecessor emerged from the Professor's sanctum at the same time that I was about to enter. He would be reaching for his coat or his hat while I was disposing of mine. He was very tall, he looked English yet English with a catch. He had, it later appeared, spent some time at Oxford, before or after receiving his Continental degree - in any case, he was not German, not American; but how does one know these things? He was, as it happened, exactly what I thought him, 'English with a catch,' in fact, a Dutchman.
I did not know that his name was. J. van der Leeuw until afterwards. Once he spoke to me at the Professor's bidding, about exchanging hours. That was a summer day in the big house outside the town, at Döbling, where the family moved for the hot months. It would have been a day late in June or early July 1933. The arrangement for receiving us there was more informal, and one did not have quite the same sense of authenticity or reality as in the Professor's own home. However, I did not say good-bye to Vienna in the house of a stranger on its outskirts. I came back.
I told the Professor why I had come back. The Professor was seventy-seven at the time of our first sessions. I was forty-seven. Dr. van der Leeuw was considerably younger. He was known among them, the Professor told me, as the Flying Dutchman. He was an eminent scholar. He had come officially to study with the Professor with the idea of the application of the principles of psychoanalysis to general education, with the greater practical aim of international cooperation and understanding. He was wealthy, influential, well-born. He owned vast plantations in the Dutch East Indies and had traveled in India for the purpose of occult investigation. He had contacted a teacher or young devotee there, had been influenced by the Eastern teaching, but that had not satisfied him. He wanted to apply the laws of spiritual being to the acute problems of today. It seemed to me that he was the perfect man for the perfect job. The Professor had not told me that. J. van der Leeuw was himself aware of a deeply rooted desire or subconscious tendency connected with his brilliant aviation. The Flying Dutchman knew that at any given moment, in the air - his element - he was likely to fly too high, to fly too quickly. 'That was really what concerned me said the Professor. 'I can tell you now that that was really what concerned us both.' The Professor added, 'After he left, last time, I felt I had found the solution, I really had the answer. But it was too late.'
I said to the Professor, 'I always had a feeling of satisfaction, of security when I passed Dr. van der Leeuw on the stairs or saw him in the hall. He seemed so self-sufficient, so poised - and you had told me about his work. I felt all the time that he was the person who would apply, carry on the torch - carry on your ideas, but not in a stereotyped way. I felt that you and your work and the future of your work were especially bequeathed to him. Oh, I know there is the great body of the Psycho-Analytical Association, research workers, doctors, trained analysts, and soon! But Dr. van der Leeuw was different. I know that you have felt this very deeply. I came back to Vienna to tell you how sorry I am.'
The Professor said, 'You have come to take his place.'
I DID NOT consciously think about the Flying Dutchman or connect him with my own work or weave him into my reveries. My own problems, my own intense, dynamic interest in the unfolding of the unconscious or the subconscious pattern, did not seem to include him. He was so personable, so presentable, apparently so richly intellectually and materially endowed. I envied him, I think, his apparently uncomplicated personality. He was an intellectual type but externalized, the diplomatic or even business type; one did not think of him as tortured or troubled; there seemed nothing of Sturm und Drang about him. He appeared scholarly, yes, but not in a bookish introverted sense. You would have said that his body fitted him as perfectly and as suavely as the grey or blue cloth that covered it; his soul fitted his body, you would have said, and his mind fitted his brain or his head; the forehead was high, unfurrowed; his eyes looked perceptive with a mariner's blue gaze, the eyes were a shade off or a shade above blue-grey yet with that grey North Sea in them. Yes - cool, cold, perceptive yet untroubled, you would have said. When later I came to think of it, yes, then it did seem that he was mercurial, Mercury.
I do not think that the name of the winged messenger, Hermes of the Greeks, Mercury of the Romans, ever came up in my talks with the Professor, except once in a roundabout way when I had a dream sequence that included a figure from the famous Raphael Donner fountain in the Marktplatz. This is a very beautiful fountain with reclining figures of river gods, two women and two men. My dream was connected with a young man of my acquaintance in London; his name is not Brooks but his name does suggest streams and rivers so we may call him Brooks. I connected this young Mr. Brooks with the figure of the younger of the male river gods in my dream sequence. It was then that I said to the Professor that the reclining bronze fountain figure had certain affinities with the poised Bolognese Mercury. We agreed that the Raphael Donner figure was the more attractive and original of the two, but that if you should raise the reclining river god and stand him on his feet, he might faintly resemble the Mercury - or in reverse, set the Mercury down to lean on his elbow and he might almost take the place of the bronze fountain figure. It was in any case our Professor's charming way to fall in with an idea, to do it justice but not to overstress unimportant details. For this seemed unimportant at the time.
Perhaps it is not very important now. It is interesting, however, to note in retrospect how the mind hedges away. I connected the Raphael Donner figure, and by implication the Mercury, with a charming but not very important young London acquaintance, while the actual personable image is there in Vienna and was there - had been there - reclining on this very couch, every hour just before my own session. As I say, I did not consciously think about Dr. van der Leeuw or weave him into my reveries. Nor did I think of him as Mercury, the Messenger of the Gods and the Leader of the Dead, after he crashed.
He was a stranger. I did not really know him. We had spoken once in the house at Döbling, outside Vienna. The Professor waved him across the large, unfamiliar drawing room. Dr. van der Leeuw bowed, he addressed me in polite, distinguished German, would the gnadige Frau object to altering her hour for one day, tomorrow? I answered him in English, I would not mind at all, I would come at four, he at five. He thanked me pleasantly in friendly English, without a trace of accent. That was the first and last time I spoke to the Flying Dutchman. We had exchanged 'hours.'
THE PROFESSOR WAS seventy-seven. His birthday in May was significant. The consulting room in the strange house contained some of his treasures and his famous desk. The room looked the same, except for the desk. Instead of the semicircle of priceless little objets d'art, there was a carefully arranged series of vases; each contained a spray of orchids or a single flower. I had nothing for the Professor. I said, 'I am sorry, I haven't brought you anything because I couldn't find what I wanted.' I said, 'Anyway, I wanted to give you something different.' My remark might have seemed a shade careless, a shade arrogant. It might have seemed either of these things, or both. I do not know how the Professor translated it. He waved me to the couch, satisfied or unsatisfied with my apparently casual regard for his birthday.
I had not found what I wanted so I did not give him anything. In one of our talks in the old room at Berggasse, we had gone off on one of our journeys. Sometimes the Professor knew actually my terrain, sometimes it was implicit in a statue or a picture, like that old-fashioned steel engraving of the Temple at Karnak that hung above the couch. I had visited that particular temple, he had not. But this time it was Italy; we were together in Rome. The years went forward, then backward. The shuttle of the years ran a thread that wove my pattern into the Professor's. 'Ah, the Spanish Steps,' said the Professor. 'It was those branches of almond,' I said; 'of all the flowers and the flower baskets, I remember those best.' 'But,' said the Professor, 'the gardenias! In Rome, even I could afford to wear a gardenia.' It was not that he conjured up the past and invoked the future. It was a present that was in the past or a past that was in the future.
Even I could search Vienna for a single gardenia or a cluster of gardenias. But I could not find them. Another year, I wrote from London, asking a friend in Vienna - an English student there - to make a special effort to find a cluster of gardenias for the Professor's birthday. She wrote back, 'I looked everywhere for the gardenias. But the florists told me that Professor Freud liked orchids and that people always ordered orchids for his birthday; they thought you would like to know. I sent the orchids for you.'
IT WAS SOMETIME later that the Professor received my gardenias. It was not a birthday, it was not Vienna. I had been to see him in London, in new surroundings. He had arrived lately, an exile. It was a large house with a garden. There had been much discussion and anxiety concerning the Professor 5 famous collection of Greek and Egyptian antiquities and the various Chinese and other Oriental treasures. The boxes had at last arrived, although the family expressed some doubt as to whether or not the entire treasure-trove, or even any of it, would be found intact. At least, the boxes had come, due to the influence and generosity of the Professor's friend and disciple, Madame Marie Bonaparte, the Princess George of Greece; 'the Princess' or 'our Princess,' the Professor called her. I had expressed surprise at seeing several Greek figures on his desk. It seemed to be the same desk in a room that suggested that summer room in the house outside Vienna of my first visit in 1933. But this was autumn 1938. 'How did you manage to bring those from Vienna?' I asked him. 'I did not bring them,' he said. 'The Princess had them waiting for me in Paris, so that I should feel at home there.' It was a treacherous, evil world but there was yet loyalty and beauty in it. It had been a flying, frightening journey. He had told me, five years before in Vienna, that traveling was even then out of the question for him. It was distinctly forbidden him by the distinguished specialist who was always within beck and call. (If I am not mistaken, this devoted friend accompanied the Professor on his journey across the Continent.) It was difficult, seeing the familiar desk, the familiar new-old images on the desk there, to realize that this was London. Indeed, it was better to think of it in terms of a temporary slightly familiar dwelling, as that summer house at Döbling. This pleasant district was geographically, in a sense, to London, what Döbling had been to Vienna. But there was no return to Berggasse, Freudgasse that was to have been.
BUT IN IMAGINATION at least, in the mist of a late afternoon, I could still continue a quest, a search. There might be gardenias somewhere. I found them in a West End florist's and scribbled on a card, 'To greet the return of the Gods.' The gardenias reached the Professor. I have his letter.
20 Maresfield Gardens,
London, N. W 3
Nov. 28th, 1938
Dear H. D.,
I got today some flowers. By chance or intention they are my favourite flowers, those I most admire. Some words 'to greet the return of the Gods' (other people read. Goods). No name. I suspect you to he responsible for the gift. If have guessed right don't answer but accept my hearty thanks for so charming a gesture. In any case,
affectionately yours,
Sigm. Freud
(H.D., 1974, pp. 3-11)

Zooey - A Petfinder Happy Tail
Zooey - posted 01/30/2014
From Leslie of Raleigh, NC
We adopted Zooey (aka Gabby) right before Christmas. She has been a great addition to our house and her brother, Argo, loves to have a girl around to play with. Play, play, and more play are the main activities in our house these days. Petfinder was great in helping us find another fantastic match for our family. I kept visiting the site and seeing Gabby's profile because she was listed as a female, doberman mix. My husband and I had decided it would be best to adopt another doberman and agreed a female would probably get along with Argo the best. Although Zooey was at a shelter a bit of a distance from where we live, I kept thinking about driving down to meet her. Months went by and she had still not been adopted so we made the trip and immediately decided it was time to give this girlie a home. So glad we did! We love her. Thanks again FAPS and Petfinder.

The New Standard
Meet Thumb Keyboard, the revolutionary input method for both Android Tablets and Phones. The innovative split design (first introduced and designed by Beansoft in 2010) quickly set the industry standard for tablet input. Today, you will find many companies such as Apple, Microsoft as well as developers on the Android platform basing their keyboard designs off our original concept. But while the competition is catching up to our original design, we kept pushing forth our innovation! Thumb keyboard brings you more features than any other keyboard that's currently based off our split layout.
Thumb Keyboard was designed from the ground up to be extremely flexible; it puts the user in control to insure the best possible experience when using an Android tablet. But we didn't stop at tablets; we went on to create a custom split layout for Android(TM) Phones as well. Lets face it, phones these days seem to be getting bigger and bigger, so why not let the user decide which layout is best suited for their needs? The split design can drastically speed up your input time without having to learn a fancy new input method (or wait around for an input method to learn you!). Android is all about choice, and so are we. The choice is in your hands.
We're not quite done yet…
Like we said, we like pushing forth innovation! Let's highlight some of the advanced & exclusive features available to Thumb Keyboard users. Remember, these are only a few, out of the large list, of great features we have to offer in our keyboard. These features will show you what we are all about! We make it possible to type comfortably on a mobile device…ANY mobile device.
State of the art keyboard
First of all Thumb Keyboard is a state-of-the-art keyboard. Although flexible layouts for phones and tablets is our hallmark, it contains many advanced functions that makes this keyboard unique.
- Auto-correction and word prediction based on previous words
- Full color customization
- Continuous Voice Dictation (Android 4.x) / Normal Voice Dictation (Android 2.2+)
- (Customizable) Long press symbols and characters
- Keyboard shortcuts to navigate through text
- (customizable) swipe gestures
- And more
Adjustable size: width, height, space between keys
Hitting adjacent keys? No problem! Thumb keyboard allows you to adjust the spacing between the keys:
A layout for every screen size
The keyboard includes layouts that are optimized for every screen size. It provides optimized layouts for small phones, big phones, 7″ – 8.9″ tablets, 9.2″ – 10.1″ tablets, "phablets". We made sure that our keyboard feels natural on each of these screen sizes. Split, regular… we made them fit we high precision.
One-handed operation mode for large-screen phones
We know that you love your new large-screen phone. And you are right! It's a pleasure to browse, read and navigate on these devices. But you don't like it to be a two-handed phone all the time, right? Well here's our latest addition to the innovation we started with Thumb Keyboard: a one-handed (one-thumb) operated keyboard.
We added an easy toggle so you can switch fast between the normal portrait layout and this new one-handed layout.
Innovative split design for portrait mode
Yes we did it again! Inspiration from our landscape design lead to this cutting-edge split layout. This (patent pending) layout is ergonomically designed to give you the best typing experience while operating your Android phone in portrait mode. The keyboard is split into two blocks which are positioned diagonally from each rather than the traditional meththod
* Larger keys (so less errors due to hitting adjacent keys)
* A more natural layout for holding the phone while typing long messages
More than 25 Themes
Thumb Keyboard comes with 25+ themes (preinstalled and downloadable). To make the choosing a theme easy a coverflow viewer is included with previews of the selectable themes:
Long press symbols customization
With this release it is also possible to change the secondary symbols on the letter keys of thumb keyboard with a simple editor :
International users
It's also possible to assign accented characters like é å á î etc etc. Now you can just enter your specific language characters by just long pressing on a letter. What's best, you can decide which letter to use… And with multi-touch capitalizing that letter is a breeze… Just hold shift and long press on the letter key. Entering accented letters is now as fast as entering a regular letter. (Tip: you can additionally turn of the popup keyboards in the settings and customize the long press duration)
The coverflow browser and long press symbol editor in action (video)
Custom Wallpapers
Choose or create your own background image…
Taking the short route
But of course we don't just stop at words & phrases. Thumb Keyboard gives you an entire row of customizable keys:
Put the user back in control
As we mentioned earlier, we are all about choice. We let you, the user, choose which which layout you want to use in portrait and which one in landscape mode.
Thumb Keyboard puts you in charge of how you want to type. No need to conform to a static and unintuitive layout. Break free from the grasp of other inferior keyboards! Thumb Keyboard is the one keyboard app for all your Android devices!
Just want to keep it standard?
Typing by …. not typing
Madness!! But no, we are serious! We incorporated a whole new prediction model into our already feature-full keyboard. A prediction method that no competitor can rival. What exactly is this prediction method? Well just take a look at the picture above. Still don't get it? Here, We'll explain.
The prediction method (called Bigram prediction) uses a special algorithm to determine what your next word would be based on the previous word. You see, the traditional method of text prediction involves an algorithm that makes you enter at least 3 letters before the system will begin guessing what your trying to say. With Bigram prediction only need to enter ONE letter and it will begin finding the best possible match to the word your thinking of. This is a unique feature because this new prediction method not only looks at the previous word but also sees how the words are used in the context of the sentence. Don't worry though, it's just a computer doing it's job-big brother is NOT watching you. Clever right?
10. Text to speech
In addition to voice to text, our keyboard contains yet another innovative feature: text-to-speech. This (optional) feature will say the words you write the moment you enter them in your text. This way you can concentrate on what you write instead of monitoring the typos you make.
This is just one of the numerous features we've crammed into our keyboard. So before you make your choice on which keyboard to choose from, go ahead and glance at what we have to offer…We think you will agree, we're on a whole different level.

During times when I was lazy and didn't have a coach, I found that I could sort of maintain my skills skating once a week but barely and needed to skate at least twice a week to see any improvements.

My name is Robert Owen Cobb, I am a writer, and I studied history under Dr. George Troxler and Dr. Durward Stokes at Elon University during the 1970s. Some years ago, I became fascinated by a mysterious footnote in history that few Americans are familiar with, the Kirk-Holden War.I first learned of the War in my early schoolhood days as my bus circled the Caswell County Courthouse Square. There a state historical marker proudly tells of the assassination of Senator John Chicken Stephens and the coming of martial law to Caswell County. When I asked my middle and high school teachers about it, they always answered, Nice people don't like to talk about such things. My college history professors were no help either and I became determined to research it entirely on my own.After graduation from college, I began researching the Kirk-Holden War in earnest. I later completed Murder In The Court House, The Story of the Kirk-Holden War, a true-to-life historical creative non-fiction novel consisting of 456 double-spaced pages in standard format, taking place between 1865 and 1935. Granted, I am hardly a Margaret Mitchell, but the political drama and intrigue are such that I feel it is worthy of publication.The events happened and the characters actually lived. It is based upon extensive research conducted at the North Carolina Department of Archives and History. Those portions not researched in Raleigh are directly derived from North Carolinas legend and lore, which has been passed down to each of us in the state during the past one-hundred and thirty four years.As its author, I have taken my literary privilege in uncovering the historical facts, combining them with all the political conspiracy often associated with the Kirk-Holden War and then bringing the unusual participants to life through their powerful words. Murder in the Courthouse faithfully recreates a perfect crime and the failure of Southern Reconstruction. Any one and everyone must read this book.

Richmond-San Rafael, Antioch Bridges to Get Dedicated Carpool Lanes
Cash Tollpayers Must Stay Right on Richmond-San Rafael Approach
OAKLAND, Calif., June 1 — Toll plaza changes designed to speed travel for carpoolers are coming this month to the Antioch and Richmond-San Rafael bridges.
Beginning in mid-June, carpoolers who travel across the Antioch and Richmond-San Rafael bridges during peak commute periods will be able for the first time to take advantage of dedicated high-occupancy vehicle lanes at the far left side of the bridges' toll plazas — eliminating the need to stop at a staffed toll booth. Carpool commuters at these bridges currently use mixed-flow cash/FasTrak lanes, and must stop briefly at a staffed toll booth for occupancy verification.
In addition to the new dedicated carpool lane, work crews will restripe the westbound Interstate 580 approach to the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge toll plaza to add a second FasTrak-only lane. During peak commute periods, carpoolers and other FasTrak customers will share the far left lane, while the center lane will be reserved for drivers who pay their tolls with FasTrak. Drivers who use cash to pay their toll will be restricted to the right lane of the toll plaza approach. Cash tollpayers may experience additional delays as drivers become accustomed to the new configuration.
The carpool lane changes at the Antioch and Richmond-San Rafael toll plazas come several weeks before the July 1 start of a new toll schedule that includes a discounted $2.50 toll on weekdays from 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. and from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. for carpools at all seven of the Bay Area's state-owned toll bridges. Carpoolers must use a designated carpool lane and pay their toll with FasTrak® to qualify for the toll discount. FasTrak toll tags are available online at www.511.org or at Walgreens, Safeway and Costco locations around the Bay Area. New customers who pick up a FasTrak toll tag at a participating retailer before July 15 can get up to $10 in free tolls.
The new toll schedule also will include a $5 regular auto toll at six of the state-owned bridges; and "congestion pricing" at the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, with auto tolls varying based on the day of the week and/or the time of day. Bay Bridge tolls will be set at $6 during the weekday morning and afternoon peak periods, at $4 during weekday off-peak periods, and at $5 all day on Saturdays and Sundays.
Caltrans owns, operates and maintains the state highway system, including seven Bay Area toll bridges. BATA, which is directed by the same policy board as the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), administers toll revenues from the region's state-owned toll bridges. MTC is the transportation planning, financing and coordinating agency for the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area.

Cooperation between Austria and Germany on a basis of trust
Vienna, 5 December 2005 - Foreign Minister Ursula Plassnik met her German counterpart Frank-Walter Steinmeier for talks today.
"Austria, Finland and Germany hold the next three Presidencies of the EU. Cooperation on a basis of trust and coordination are therefore important, particularly in view of the wide spectrum of European issues. We have several things in common: Austria and Germany are net payers in the European Union and our two countries have already approved the EU Constitutional Treaty, but above all we are both committed to the European cause," said Plassnik.
"We are working together on a number of specific issues in the European Union: the reunification of Europe, the Financial Perspective, the neighbourhood policy and the question of the future of Europe," continued the Foreign Minister.
Other topics discussed included improved protection for Europeans both within and outside the Union and more effective crisis management: "All these issues give visible indication of the added value of Europe," stressed the Foreign Minister.
"I am interested in multilateral cooperation with Germany within the United Nations as well," added Plassnik.
"We also have shared interests with respect to the upholding of the subsidiarity principle. Our two countries have a federal structure and we are therefore both well aware that decisions should be made as close to the grass roots as possible," said the Foreign Minister.
"We shall study the British proposals regarding the Financial Perspective very carefully and discuss them at the extraordinary meeting of the foreign ministers in Brussels," concluded Plassnik.

Portlaoise tame Tullow at Togher
Having narrowly lost out to Wicklow, Portlaoise U-18s faced Tullow and the fact that Tullow had already beaten Wicklow made Portlaoise more nervous than usual.
Pre-match nerves vanished after the kick-off when Portlaoise's fast ball handling surprised Tullow and led to a practised running movement culminating in a converted try. This was no flash in the pan as soon afterwards the front row turned over possession and through a series of disciplined rucking movements took play into the opposition half. This set up another running movement with a converted try as the outcome.
No sooner did one movement collapse than Portlaoise lines were reformed in defence, ready for a break-away try.
Portlaoise dominated the line-out and their scrum clearance was speedy and accurate and ball handling was maintained right out to the wing. Quick tackling turned over possession from the opposition scrums. In one incident as the full-back was sprinting towards the try line a robust challenge was made by the opposition flanker at speed. The flanker literally bounced off the full back cartoon style and the full back ran on to score the try.
To crown the perfect day, place kicking success of seven from eight led to a score line of 54-5 in Portlaoise's favour from an impressive tally of eight tries.

I read Juneau Assembly member Jonathan Anderson's scholarly legal analysis of the lawsuit between Kensington Mine and Southeast Alaska Conservation Council.
Sound off on the important issues at
In reading his "legal" opinion of Sept. 19, he says the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled - final - there is nothing left to negotiate as the court found the "least environmentally damaging practicable alternative" to be unlawful. End of story. And yet the full panel 9th Circuit has in fact directed the environmentalists to respond to Coeur's, the State's, Goldbelt's and the Department of Justice's petition for rehearing.
Could it be in your haste to pass final judgment you forgot to mention the initial ruling by the three-panel San Francisco court is not final, but is in fact still pending in the 9th Circuit on the petition for rehearing brought by the Kensington operator, state of Alaska, Goldbelt, and the U.S. Government? Did Anderson also forget that after the petition for rehearing and possible rehearing on the merits, the losing side can still petition the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the issue? Anderson seems to forget that the district court dismissed the case as without merit. Perhaps he even forgot that the 9th Circuit Court is the most overturned court in America.
I was surprised by his comment that "there is nothing to negotiate." One must wonder, why did Juneau Mayor Bruce Botelho issue a press release saying all parties (including SEAAC) are in fact negotiating to find a solution to bring the Kensington Mine into production in a timely manner?
Anderson contends the SEAAC has no control over the legal situation. He fails to remind readers that SEAAC made the decision to appeal, not the court. He fails to remind readers that SEAAC knows that it can use the court system to delay the project and run up costs, perhaps to the point of making a sound project financially unviable. One must wonder why a member of the university's faculty and city Assembly is so interested in painting a picture of SEAAC as an innocent victim of the court system.
At least when we consider whether Anderson should remain on our Assembly, we should remember his dissertation on behalf of SEAAC and its attempt to shut down the Kensington Mine, which conveniently ignored many of the facts. Accountability may have been another thing he forgot.

Governor abolishes state's death penalty
Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn (D) signed into law Wednesday a ban on the death penalty in his state, and he commuted the sentences of 15 death-row inmates to life without parole.
The ban comes about 11 years after then-Gov. George Ryan declared a moratorium on executions after 13 condemned inmates were cleared since Illinois reinstated capital punishment in 1977.
Ryan, a Republican, cited a Chicago Tribune investigative series that examined each of the state's nearly 300 capital cases and exposed how bias, error and incompetence undermined many of them.
"Since our experience has shown that there is no way to design a perfect death penalty system, free from the numerous flaws that can lead to wrongful convictions or discriminatory treatment, I have concluded that the proper course of action is to abolish it," Quinn wrote in his signing statement. "With our broken system, we cannot ensure justice is achieved in every case."
"For the same reason, I have also decided to commute the sentences of those currently on death row to natural life imprisonment, without the possibility of parole or release," the governor wrote.
The death penalty ban will take effect July 1.

Man charged in King parade bomb attempt
The FBI arrested a man Wednesday in connection with an attempted bombing along the route of the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day parade in downtown Spokane.
Kevin William Harpham, 36, of Colville, Wash., was charged with two counts in the alleged bomb attempt on Jan. 17.
The bomb was found inside a backpack that had been left along the route of the King Day parade. Authorities said the device, had it gone off, would have sprayed the crowd with lead pellets coated with rat poison. Investigators say they think the bomb was placed in such a way as to maximize casualties.
The backpack was found by three sanitation workers 40 minutes before the parade was to begin.

On Wednesday 16th March, Commercial Contracts Partner, Claire Tonks, introduced the project which offers support to students to achieve their dreams – whether that is starring in a radio show, working for the government, starting a business or even hosting or taking part in a community charity event, the support is uncapped and can range from financial support, mentoring opportunities, or giving advice in the world of business.
Speaking at the event, Claire Tonks introduced University of Derby student Alex Webber, whose dream is to become a UN Peacekeeper. Alex pitched his heart-warming dream to a panel at Flint Bishop who have since pledged financial support to Alex to help make his dream come true.
It is stories like this that inspired Claire to write her opening introduction to the initiative saying: "When it's your turn to take a leap of faith and jump of a cliff edge into the unknown, Flint Bishop will help you build your own parachute to fulfil your dreams."
While Alex still has a way to go – local entrepreneurs sought out Alex at the event, which was hosted at the historic Derby Silk Mill, to request information for his Just Giving page, or to offer advice and fundraising ideas.
Andy Pearson, owner of Drive Like a Rock Star, which is a Derbyshire driving school business, approached Alex and has offered to teach him how to drive. This is a testament to the local entrepreneurs who have supported the University, the students and like-minded businessmen from around the region.
Local entrepreneur, Sean Price, has also pledged to support Alex with his social media campaign and advise him how best to target local businesses around the region. Sean has recently launched Derby.digital which is aimed at bringing businesses together with the use of digital marketing.
Andrew Cochrane, Senior Partner at Flint Bishop, said: "We're delighted to support the University of Derby with this initiative. As a business, we are fortunate enough to be in a position where we are able to make a difference to the lives of others -whether that is by offering support, giving advice or just listening to a pledge for financial support – we've always looked at ways to pay-it-forward. The hope is that our newest entrepreneurs coming through will then do the same in the future."

Green Chile White Queso
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: This simple, yet delicious dip has been a staple at many of the dinner parties and get-togethers I attended while growing up. The New Mexican green chile is the highlight of this dip, as it is in most of the state's cuisine, and makes much more of an impact if freshly roasted chiles are used instead of canned. When paired with fresh corn tortilla chips, this queso is the perfect starter for a true New Mexican meal. —Katie
Serves 8-10
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 Small onion- finely chopped
- 2 Cloves garlic- minced
- 1 cup Chopped Roasted Green Chiles-
- 1 20 oz jar Herdez Salsa Verde (green)
- 1 Bunch chopped cilantro (about a handful- no stems).
- 1 8 oz. block cream cheese
- 3/4 cup Heavy Cream
- Salt and Pepper
- Heat butter in skillet, add onion and garlic and sauté until onion is tender.
- Once onion is translucent, add Herdez salsa, chopped green chiles, cilantro, salt and pepper to skillet. Simmer gently for 10 minutes, uncovered.
- Add cream cheese. When cream cheese melts, add cream and heat thoroughly- do not boil.
- Once warm, serve immediately with fresh corn tortilla chips. Great Party Dip!

text: RE: Is there a special perceptual mechanism for speech sounds? The question itself is misleading because it implies that either a) There is a speech module which takes its input from the sound-processing front end (which answers the question with "no") or b) There is a two-channel system (one for speech, one for sound), and a switch that gets toggled according to the listening mode. Both are extreme simplifications, each has a grain of truth. In the act of seeing, we control what we see with the eye muscles, but there are no efferent pathways that terminate on the photoreceptors to modulate their activity. In contrast, the hearing system does employ an efferent system that, using the COCB as a final pathway, actually modulates the neurotransmitter transfer from inner hair cells to eighth nerve cells. In addition, the outer hair cells receive efferent signals which drive them to modulate the dynamics of the cochlear membrane! These "active processes" have been cited as being responsible for the (otherwise mechanically impossible) sharp frequency tuning of the cochlear membrane. But there is evidence that COCB (crossed-olivo-cochlear bundle) activity is affected by attention. It is even possible that the pattern of vibration of the cochlear membrane is different giving the same stimulation (say an orchestral passage) depending upon whether we are attending to the oboe part or the french horn part! Anyway, it seems at least plausible to me that listening in a "speech mode" means doing some reconfiguration of (the one) hearing system via some centralized process. - lonce XXX XXX Lonce Wyse | X X Center for Adaptive Systems \ | / X X Boston University \ / 111 Cummington St. Boston,MA 02215 ---- ---- X X X X "The best things in life / \ XXX XXX are emergent." / | \ | -- Domain: curtiss at umiacs.umd.edu Phillip Curtiss UUCP: uunet!mimsy!curtiss UMIACS - Univ. of Maryland Phone: +1-301-405-6710 College Park, Md 20742

Update: The man (YouTube) took down Janice's video that was posted originally… So we've replaced it with this two-parter. Part one above, part two below.
In last night's episode of The Daily Show With Jon Stewart, Jon Stewart addressed the Common controversy that Fox News has created. Much ado about nothing.
Jon Stewart and The Daily Show team do a great job questioning Fox News' intelligence with all the clips shown. Yeah, it's recorded off my laptop but I had to share this snippet with you all. Jon Stewart is hilarious. Props to Anna for giving me the heads up.

Conversation title: Meditation and the Sacred Mind.
Subtitles available in:
Q: What place has will in meditation?
Can you be choicelessly aware of this movement of desire, control, will, action? Can you watch it?
What is space? Do we have space? Can the mind have space? When the mind is occupied with family, with business, God, drink, or sex is there space? When knowledge occupies the whole field of the mind there is no space. And outward space is not going to give inner space.
There is no silence when there is direction. Can the mind empty itself of its content? Can the mind, the brain, the body be really silent? When the mind is utterly silent what is the immeasurable? In silence, time stops.

Since Alice and Wonderland made $1 billion last year producer Joe Roth has become involved with many new fairy-tale adaptations. He's producing Snow White and the Huntsman with Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth and Charlize Theron for Universal, Sam Raimi's Oz: The Great and Powerful with James Franco and Mila Kunis, and in March he came on-board as producer for a new version of Peter Pan with Channing Tatum.
Now according to Deadline Roth is in talks to produce Angelina Jolie's Maleficent, a live-action take on the wicked fairy godmother who cast the original spell on Sleeping Beauty.
Tim Burton was originally intending to direct, having hired his Alice in Wonderland screenwriter Linda Woolverton to write the script, but in the end he decided against it and Disney has since been searching for a director. Names such as The Fighter director David O. Russell, Harry Potter director David Yates, and Black Swan's Darren Aronofsky have been mentioned here and there, but none have been confirmed.
With Joe Roth coming on-board to produce the project is clearly a priority for Disney, so a director will likely be found soon. Disney won't want to keep Angelina Jolie waiting.

Intuitives: Are you a psychic sponge? Micara Link offers her suggestions…
The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift. ~ Albert Einstein
Lots of folks are working on being more sensitive, more aware, more empathic…and after a while, it works. Now comes a new thing – how do you handle picking up energy all around you?
Suddenly, it feels like everyone you pass on the street has left their psychic (and more, sometimes) energy with you. What can you do?
To check on this, we checked in with intuitive Micara Link for her suggestions:
Do you FEEL everything? Welcome to the club of Empaths! You are not alone.
Recently, I received an email from a lady who shared her concern for her sensitivities and how they can totally consume her. She tends to feel the energy and emotions of those around her and isn't sure how to manage these sensitivities.
I can totally relate and I know many of you can, too, so I thought I'd share our conversation with you in hopes that it helps you navigate and cope with your own empathic sensitivities.
Hi Micara,
For as long as I can remember, I've had this thing where when I look at people (strangers for the most part) I feel like I'm taking all the sadness that they have ever experienced in life and I feel it as though I'm going through the same thing. I've also noticed that I'm SUPER sensitive when it comes to sad news stories, sad movies etc…like the one about the lady in Utah that killed all of the 8 babies that she gave birth to that has been in the news that past couple of days. It seems to be getting worse and every time i hear something sad, I internalize it and it takes away from my concentration and I get this bad feeling in the pit of my stomach.
I hope this all makes sense because I'm kinda babbling.
Anyways, I'm wondering if you have any insight on it. It has really been bothering me over the past year and I'm just not sure what to do with it. I look forward to hearing back and thanks in advance!
My reply:
I can definitely relate and understand what you are going through. Your experiences are showing you how empathic you are. Empathic sensitivities can be difficult to handle at times, because they can be so intense and consuming. We have our own emotions to feel! So add on other people's and it's totally overwhelming.
Empathic sensitivities and clairsentience (clear-feeling) are intuitive abilities that allow you to pick up on and experience the energy of emotions and feelings in the people around you, places, and situations. In short: You're a feeler or psychic sponge.
One of the things that many people don't realize is that those who are highly empathic are usually very gifted healers. Your empathy gifts you the ability to truly feel and experience what the other person is going through so that you know best how to help them.
Although being empathic is a gift, I know it doesn't always feel like that. Here are a few suggestions to help cope with your sensitivities:
1) When you notice yourself start to feel another person's emotions, let them go. This all starts with awareness. When you become aware that you're tuning into someone's energy, pull back and remind yourself to let go of their energy.
(note: We don't always know when we are feeling someone else's energy, in this case, whenever you are feeling a strong emotion or energy and you are not sure where it's coming from, practice letting it go. Even if it is yours, you don't need to hold on to it.)
2) Imagine a protective bubble of energy around you throughout the day. Some people like to visualize a color that they love (like blue) or an image of a shield around their energy field. This thought and intention allows you to protect your own energy so you don't pick up as much of the energy around you
3) Ask your Angels and Spirit Guides to clear and cleanse your body, mind, and spirit. Do this throughout the day, especially before bed and on your way home from work.
4) Don't subject yourself to the news (or any other negative energy). The news is like a constant horror story! So much of that stuff we don't even need to know. Did we ALL need to know about that lady in Utah killing her babies?! No, it is not helpful to anyone to know that stuff. I personally have quit watching the news because it is just too much for me to handle every day. It's toxic. As sensitives, we need to keep our distance from that stuff.
Awareness is always the first and most helpful step. With the awareness you have about your sensitivities, you will find ways to help yourself move through it. Try some of the techniques above to see if they help. I know it can be hard! Stay aware and remember that you're in control of your own energy.
Blessings ~

Thanks, Micara, for your thoughts today!

Title reflects the bug.
I am using all current modules, plus Phone-7.x-2.x-dev
Tried twice, from within Redhen-Contact and a custom ContentType.
Thanks for the effort, this module is looking great.

Comment #1Елин Й. CreditAttribution: Елин Й. commented
I have also the same problem. I know that the 7.x-2.x is not production ready, but I would like to also help with the development. Any hints will be appreciated. I'll also look into the code but at the very first I don't know where to start :)
Comment #2PatchRanger CreditAttribution: PatchRanger commented
Here is the patch against 7.x-2.x.
The problem was in implicit dependency on rdf: it was assumed but not declared.
Patch fixes the issue.
Please review.
PS I've included mxwitkowski (Mark Witkowski) into patch credits as he is the sponsor of the patch: see http://www.freedomsponsors.org/core/issue/324/phone-extension-field-not-... .
Comment #3mxwitkowski CreditAttribution: mxwitkowski commented
I have applied the patch in #2 and unfortunately the issue persists. I had the rdf module installed, so that was in place already. I can confirm the following:
1. The field setting to allow extensions is checked in the field settings; the profile edit page for the user is showing an extension field.
2. The Drupal database for the element has the proper table field for the extension
3. When a user enters the extension and saves their profile, the database is not getting updated with the extension (but the main number and phone type changes are all working properly).
Comment #4PatchRanger CreditAttribution: PatchRanger commented
Please check your dblog for any errors, warnings or even info:
admin/reports/dblog .
You have all UI - but saving doesn't work. It looks like you don't have
libphonenumber-for-php library properly installed. Please make sure that you've downloaded the library from Git as described in
README.txt and placed it as
sites/all/libraries/libphonenumber-for-php . Also visit
admin/reports/status and check that there is no requirement error such as "Lib Phone Number" or similar. Sorry for this silly assumption if everything is ok :) As you understand, that are the steps that are "must done" in order to go further.
I've double-checked: in my case patched phone field with extension works in content type and in profile.
UPDATE: I've created .make-file to facilitate the process of installing dependencies: see #2069489: Create .make-file to ease installing dependencies and the library.

I have finally got the issue: "Extension" is not being saved! I thought the problem is with the element called "number type". Sorry for that. mxwitkowski did a lot to explain me what is the problem, thanks.
I haven't created tests but managed to fix the issue, since the root of the problem is trivial: we just passed empty extension to the library. Please review the re-rolled patch.
Comment #7Елин Й. CreditAttribution: Елин Й. commented
Hi PatchRanger, thanks for the spotting on the bug! I'll review your patch this week and give you a feedback.
Do you still think that the rdf module should be set as required?
Comment #8Елин Й. CreditAttribution: Елин Й. commented
I've just tested it shortly. It saves the extension now successfully, however on the display it doesn't show it, yet. I'll try to debug it and give a feedback.
Ah, one point to note that I don't have rdf module enabled.
UPDATE: My apologies, I didn't check the option in the display settings to display the extension. Your patch simply works!
P.S.: Maybe you want to update the patch so that the RDF module is not required, since it works also without RDF!
Thanks a lot!
Comment #9PatchRanger CreditAttribution: PatchRanger commented
Do you still think that the rdf module should be set as required?
Actually I don't, I've checked saving Phone extension and it works even without RDF - so here is the updated patch.
It saves the extension now successfully, however on the display it doesn't show it, yet.
What do you mean by "on the display"? I've checked
admin/structure/types/manage/{content_type}/display - and everything looks like it should. Looking forward your additional debug feedback.
UPDATE: Ah, I see :)
Comment #10mxwitkowski CreditAttribution: mxwitkowski commented
Nice work! I have tested the patch and all is working fine for me.
I did discover a new issue when using views to display the phone number and extension. Seems the code to manage the phone number extension is blocking the display of the extension. I checked the view options for the field and there are no controls to enable or disable the extension. Interestingly, these display options do appear in the display options when showing the field in a content type though. In any case, this matter appears to warrant a separate issue in the queue.

So I go ahead and set the status of the issue 'RTBC' :)
Comment #12Елин Й. CreditAttribution: Елин Й. commented
@mxwitkowski, I've posted a workaround patch for this issue, but I want to get some focus on this patch to find out the real problem. For the others reading this issue, please check my post on the relative issue at: https://drupal.org/node/2079503#comment-7926093

Woo, what an adventurous, crazy, frantic, happy, busy, and fun last month and a half it has been since I picked up and moved out of Davis. From apartment hunting, to spontaneous trips and daily adjustments, to a week-long vacation basking in the warm sun, it has been non-stop!
I have also gone to some events that I have not had time/been too lazy to share with you, but here they are (better late than never)!
Eat Real Festival – Oakland, CA
This food festival and street fair was created to promote all of the stages of where food comes from, who makes it, and how it gets to our table for us to eat. From endless rows of food trucks, to live demonstrations, to a youth cook-off (the cutest thing ever), this festival was a huge hit! My friend and I got to spend a couple hours there on the Saturday it was held. We wandered around, grabbed a beer that came in an awesome souvenier mason jar, ordered some grub, and watched the cooking contest for a little bit. Apparently, the kids in the contest were trained prior to the contest for a week by a chef to prep for this cook off! They were given a secret ingredient: basil. How cool is that?!
[The food item towards the top part of the pictures is a falafel sandwich with lemon and thyme marinated beets, rosemary peanuts, pickled red onion, and red cabbage with black sesame. We also ordered a mediterranean veggie tempura that was gluten free and vegan! The veggies included: sweet potatoes, chickpeas, onion, carrots, and a couple other things. Yum! Oh, and the bottom picture is of the kids' cook-off!]
Biketoberfest – Marin, CA
My group of friends and I all have a special place in our hearts for beer festivals. Great food, great beer tastings, fun themes, free swag–what's not to love?! This one was no different. With an assortment of cool bikes (um, a bike with an entirely wooden frame?!), cool gear, great food vendors, a sunny day, and great company, we had a blast. And plus, we're all from Davis (biggest biking community ever) so we were right in our element.
I mean, just look at this multi-person bike that was riding around! They looked like they were having too much fun…
Oh, and the paella, ohhh the paella…was delish. A friend and I decided to get both kinds and split it. Needless to say, we inhaled it.
Plus, the day's not complete without practicing your Zoolander face and busting out some modeling poses! I think they've got it down. What do you guys think??
We also got a bunch of free swag including a souvenir tasting glass, posters from 21st Amendment brewery, bottle cap magnets, a shirt, and even some tin signs!
All in all, it was a great day.
Hardly Strictly Bluegrass – San Francisco, CA
Was anyone else able to make it out to this?! If so, I think you can also vouch for how incredible it was. A sea of people filled Golden Gate Park for this event. And do you want to know how lucky my friends and I were? Yes, we got back stage passes thanks to our other friend! We felt like VIPs. Seriously. For the people who had back stage wrist bands, all we had to do was flash those pretty purple things and we'd get let into a private path to separate us from all the commonfolk and lead us straight to the front/back of the stage. We even saw EmmyLou Harris drive up in her van to the stage! Be jealous :)
Pics below: Our wristbands (I made them take that ridiculous picture) and one of the nice gated paths that led us up to the stage and around to the back!
Fleet Week – San Francisco, CA
And last but not least, Fleet Week in San Francisco. My first full weekend living in the city!! It was everything I dreamed it would be. Crowds of people on rooftops, white speckles of sailboats swarming the bay, tons of people everywhere, jam packed muni buses, and of course, The Blue Angels. The sun was shining, and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it! I was only able to snap one picture on my phone–and not a very good one at that–but if you look closely, you can see all the sail boats that were out in the bay that day AND a Blue Angel (squint!).
So many outings, so much fun, so little time! Gotta love it…
And tomorrow, I'll have a normal food/recipe post for you!! Stay tuned!
7 Responses to "Recap and New Beginnings"
Fun events you've been to Stephanie! Congratulations! Hope you didn't get too much beer, but then again, how is that a bad thing? Lol.
I feel like that the Eat Real Festival is awesome! I can see lotsa food, so that's definitely a great thing. Is that like an annual event? If it is, I'd like to catch it sometime, especially that whole thing about the youth cook-off. Sounds cute! :)
These events look like a blast – Thanks for sharing. Have an Awesome Day:)
I want to drink all beer in mason jars now.
