This information will be updated as time permits. My Great Granddad, and I believe his name was William also, was married to my Great Grandmother Susan J.They had three children: The oldest was William, my Granddad, and Lidia (sometimes referred to as Ida). Oliver was the third and youngest of the bunch.My dad was one of two children born of my Great Granddad William, and Daisy Yantis, who was a 'Knox from Ponca City. They had two children, one was my dad, William [NMI]. The other had the name of Harold, who died when he was young and is interred in Cushing with my Granddad. My dad and my mother were married twice. My Father was married a total of seven times, he married my mother [a Boyd] the first and last time. I was best man the second time in -+ 1945 at the Grand Canyon. Dad had my half brother, John who lives in Aptos, CA.
I have three children: Dixie, Stewart and Mickeal. Mike is the person establishing site and is responsible fot it's contnt. Eric, his son, will be assisting him. As for history, here's the way I remember it. Back when I was about 5 or 6 years old. My mother used to take me by bus from Cushing which is where I was born and raised, over to Stillwater about 27 miles away to visit Grandmother Susan. I dont remember much about these trips except I remember the house she lived in and the way it was laid out .I do remember seeing her laying on a sort of a Day-Type Bed. She was very sick. She had apparently put some hair curlers on a wood burning stove to curl her hair and her hair caught on fire. Which subsequently ended up killing her. I do remember my mother telling me that Susan would tell her (my mother) please dont ever let Lidia be alone with me. Mother said Susan was very scared of Lidia. Lidia was of some questionable character, as I recall a Dance-Hall girl. Mother would hardly talk about her. I have [some place] a letter I believe from a Lidia Campbell in California in the 1930s. It seems to me that she had written to the War Department trying to collect a pension of some kind for a Yantis relative that was as I recall apparently in the Union Army back in Ohio, maybe around Civil War time. I do have a copy of a will which Susan left Lydia $10 .
Of course by this time Uncle Oliver was already gone. I can remember my Dad used to get drunk and say he was going to sue the State of Oklahoma because the Federel Marshals had bushwhacked Uncle Oliver without giving him a chance to surrender or defend himself. There are two stories about that shootout. One is when he was walking from the house to the barn with a saddle he was bushwhacked by, I think, "Heck" and some other people including a witness who had been brought down from Kansas to identify Oliver as one of the Kansas bank robbers. The other one was that they offered him a chance to surrender. I believe that in both accounts Oliver did empty his six-shooter before they took him down and he lived for a while and was quite disrespectful to the people who shot him--like cussing and spitting at them. They threw him on a wagon and took him to Gutherie, which was sort of like the Oklahoma Territory Capitol. There is a picture of Uncle Oliver in a book that I have as he is laid out in a Casket. When I was about 35 years old, my Grandmother Daisy, who lived in Santa Cruz, CA. called me in and sat me down, and said to me Billy, I know that your going to be proud of what I am going to tell you, but it is nothing to be proud of, and that is the reason I have waited this long to tell you. She said to me that she was at that farm house whenever Oliver was shot, and that during all the commotion and confusion she grabbed a canvas bag that had US Government stamped on it, and brand new government (currency) inside and threw it in the stove. I remember saying Well Grandma, didnt you save at least a couple of them. She was not the kind that even thought that was amusing. I did not ask her any more questions about the shootout. The question I do have in my mind is since she was not a Yantis, [a Knox as I recall from Ponca City] How she got to be in that farm house at that time, I dont know. That is question that has always been in the back of my mind. Next we go to the All-Yantis Reunion which I believe was in 1996 at Arillington, just outside of Dallas. All of my family went back in Stewart's motor-home, including Stew and wife Mary, Mike and son Eric, and my half-brother John his wife Jan plus the lady I was living with at the time, June, who was trying to become a Yantis. At the reunion a Yantis From Germany discussed the three Yantis brother's ancestors before they came to the U. S. People kept getting up and extolling the virtues of the first two Yantis and very little was said about the third Yantis. There was only one other representative there, and he wasnt very communicative. So when they asked someone to talk about the third Yantis, I got up and told this story, There was five Yantis: The Old Man, Susan and the three kids. The oldest of which was William (my Grandfather), the second was Lidia (or Idia), and the third, the youngest was Oliver. And as I recall the story, one of the children was born in a what was called a stockade [ a Fort] in Kansas. Anyway, while in Oklahoma Territory [ I am sorry I have no idea what year this was], it is alleged that the old man was killed by Susan and perhaps the kids-- chopped up with a hatchet. As I recall the story, Susan and the kids were then taken to Arkansas because the alledged crime was in Oklahoma territory. The charges were dropped against the children, but Susan was tried and aquitted. This would be a reaal challenge for someone to research and find if there is a record of that trial in Arkansas [Fort Smith? Hangin Judge Bean?]. I have a tape of the Yantis reunion, including my speech. Several of the Yantis congeration went from Arlington TX North to Yantis, TX where we had lunch with the mayor who made a speech [good lookin Gal].
We then went on North to Cushing, Ok to visit my mother. Then we went over to Muhall to visit Uncle Olivers gravesite. At this time I think it was Mike who pointed out to me that that headstone had just been setting there for almost a hundred years on a pedistal with only a iron rod sticking very loosely into a hole from the base into the headstone itself. This was all that secured the headstone to the base. So , I can remember standing there and looking at the stone and gravesite trying to reverse roles. I asked myself: If I was there, as Oliver was, would I want that headstone to stay over the place where I was interred or would I prefer a loving family take it and cherish it. Obviously, I opted for the latter. That was long before I knew that there was such interest in Ol' history as there is now. In any event, I had three stones made which are much larger and are not real similar to the origianal stone that I know have sitting on my fireplace in my living-room. I gave one to my half-brother, John, and I gave one to my youngest ugly son Mike, and the other I had installed on Uncle Oliver's grave by the only monument man in Stillwater. Now I am told that that stone was damaged and has been repaired by a Historical Society there. I have made a donation in his memory.Now that I see there is such interest, I may return that stone to Uncle Olivers grave, I dont know. Maybe Mike will after I die. One other consideration is we visited a lady that was sorta the unofficial keeper of the records of the graveyard in Muhall. She said there had been some vandalism by kids. It may have been rationalization but this coupled with the fact the stone was not secured was enough for me to take the original stone. I left her a note confirming that I was taking Uncle Ol's stone. t secured and it was not too heavy, not nearly as heavy as the one I had replicated/duplicated, somebody could steal it. So this was another motivating factors for me to take the stone. Over the period of years I have aquired some books, at least two different books with information about Uncle Oliver. One has a picture of him laid out in a casket in Gutherie. He was in a suit that obviously didnt belong to him but a much bigger man. I believe the guy that wrote that book was named *Shirley* in Stillwater. I communicated with him, and told the story as I told it here. He said the money that Grandma burned accounted for the missing money was never found or accounted for. I am certain he was referring to the train robery at [OK town] I sent him a written statement verifying what I told him then and what I am telling now. I have a couple of friends who still live in Cushing: Carolyn Clark [ used to be Sutton), and Patti Brandel, both very good friends of mine. They used have fun running records in court houses and newspapers. They could not find a record of trial there in Stillwater [Payne County] My Dad said he thought there was a trial but there was no record.They did find a couple of newspaper articles which I hope I can find.One of the articles was about a hired hand at Grandmother Susans house in Stillwater, who apparently got a little fresh with her, and get this------ my Great Granddad [ according to this article] litterally mopped up the road with this hired hand. In other words, he whipped his ass. I dont know how to explain the difference between the chopping up in Oklahoma territory and this quite a few years later, Did Susans husband appear again or was it actually my granddad, not great- grandad? This is another question for someone if they really want to get into it. If so, please let me [or Mike] know. I would certainly like to know the answer to that question.
This information will be updated as time permits. My Great Granddad, and I believe his name was William also, was married to my Great Grandmother Susan J.They had three children: The oldest was William, my Granddad, and Lidia (sometimes referred to as Ida). Oliver was the third and youngest of the bunch.My dad was one of two children born of my Great Granddad William, and Daisy Yantis, who was a 'Knox from Ponca City. They had two children, one was my dad, William [NMI]. The other had the name of Harold, who died when he was young and is interred in Cushing with my Granddad.

I was best man the second time in -+ 1945 at the Grand Canyon. Dad had my half brother, John who lives in Aptos, CA.

Hey! Finally! Check out the GUESTBOOK!
The sample songs that were on this site before have been replaced with ones that actually work. Sorry that they didnt work for... Well, for the last 5 years. Check out the Stuff page to hear them.
New Pictures Uploaded! I finally got those pictures I took at the last Eugene Readymen show posted, and there's a pile of them - So many, I gave them their own page. To check them out, click here.
For the past 5 years or so, The Readymen have been one of Oregon's strongest and best Punk-Ska bands. Unfortunately, that's all at an end. The Readymen have officially broken up.
So what happened? Well, I suppose it was just time to move on. The band has been together for quite awhile, and there have been a lot of setbacks. Problems with touring (like having an engine blow up - That's not a good thing when you're a small DIY band), problems with labels (like not getting the money and promotion that they were promised for their last tour)... And myriads of other problems. But basically, it was just time to move on.
While the band was getting ready to move to San Francisco, they took a little vacation, and had time to think. J.P. is looking towards a possible career in Motorcycle racing. Alex is going to an Audio Engineering School. Dustin is living in San Francisco (I don't know what he's doing at this point). Brendan has moved to New York, where he's continuing to play guitar, and possibly join another band.
Anyway, to all those people out there who sent me e-mail asking for Readymen related info, I'm sorry it's taken me so long to get this posted. My most sincere apologies. But I don't feel like the page is quite finished yet, even if the band is... I have a few pages that I started making some major revisions on, but never finished. If there appears to be enough interest, I'll try my best to get that stuff done.
Another announcement! The page has been relocated to Tripod. Frankly, since the band is no longer together, I decided it would be best for me if I cleared out my web space and moved the site to this Tripod space, which was set up for this purpose. Sorry for any inconvenience this causes anyone.
The Eugene Register Guard interviewed The Readymen in an article published 7/3/98. The article talks a bit about the band. To check it out, click Here.
Rock and Roll R.I.P. webzine did a great interview with three out of four Readymen, to read it, click Here.
Bands and people across the country helped them out on their last tour - To check out the thank you list in progress, click here.
Their latest CD is called Restless, and it's on Kingpin Records. They also have another CD, called Show Hall Bound and also currently avaliable from Kingpin, and a 7" called Factory, available from Illumination Records. They've also got some stuff on a bunch of comps. To hear a few songs (in RealAudio format) or find out more about their recordings and band history in general, click here.
I now have lyrics up for every album The Readymen have released so far, even the impossible to get ones. To check out the lyrics and see what the band is writing about, click here.
I took a lot of pictures at the final Eugene Readymen show, at John Henry's on July 31st, 1998, and I finally got them uploaded. To see them and other pictures of the Readymen performing live, click here. And if you happen to have any pictures of the Readymen, I'd sure love to get copies.
To visit some other cool pages that deal with punk and/or ska, click here. There are even some other Readymen pages to check out!
The guestbook is finally working! Unfortunately, I've given up on trying to make a CGI guestbook and gone ahead and used a Guestworld guestbook. It was just the only way there was gonna be a guestbook on this page.
This page written, designed, and maintained by Jason Lewis.

InFocus Exhibit 2016
Just passing on the following release from InFocus for any interested club members:
August 11, 2015
For Immediate Release:
Alberta photographers invited to make their mark in contemporary Canadian photography
Until October 31, 2015, Alberta photographers can submit their images to be considered for a major photographic exhibition: InFocus Photo 2016. Students, amateurs, and professionals alike may enter for the chance to be featured in InFocus during Exposure Photography Festival.
This past February, 2015, witnessed the success of the inaugural InFocus Exhibit, which took place at Harcourt House Artist Run Centre, showing the best photography from Edmonton and area. Over 250 people visited the show during its three-day run. At the opening reception, Alexis Marie Chute, the organizer and curator of InFocus, made an important announcement. First, InFocus would become an annual event; and second, the 2016 exhibit would be even bigger and better.
"We have partnered with DC3 Art Projects, a commercial gallery in Edmonton," Chute says. "The exhibit will run the entire month of February, 2016 – and celebrate the amazing photographic talent from our entire province!"
The standard was set high in 2015, with notable alumni including Avenue Magazine photographer Curtis Trent, NAIT photography instructor Akemi Matsubuchi, and Gerry Dotto, one of only a few Alberta finalist in the current Salt Springs National Art Prize.
"InFocus is a noteworthy exhibit for contemporary Canadian photography," says Chute, who won the coveted John Poole Award for Promotion of the Arts in 2015 for her work with InFocus. "Our mission is to promote and exhibit innovative, thoughtful and provocative photography created by Alberta's contemporary image-makers."

France – and the world – are in chock after the horrifying attack on the journal Charlie Hebdo in Paris today where twelve people were assassinated and around ten people hurt.
It´s an attack on the open society, says the Editor-in-chief Peter Wolodarski at the daily Dagens Nyheter, one of all the people who have been writing about and condemning the attack today.
Tonight people gathered in Paris on Place de la République to stand up for the open society and condemn the killings.
People held up the sign "Je suis Charlie", crying out "Freedom" and "Charlie". The stream of people joining the manifestation of solidarity and grief seemed endless.

Never before have cultural journals been in the centre of the debate in Swedish media.
After the decision of the State Cultural Committee (Kulturutskottet) to cut the budget of the cultural journals with nearly 80%, the debate has been roaring.
Everyone: Cultural critics, journalists, writers; politicians from left to right (yes, even colleagues to Chair of the Committee, Per Bill, in the Conservative party have raised furious voices); professional organizations and interest groups, are writing articles, debating and arguing.
The decision has still not been changed to save the cultural journals.
But the Culture Minister who after the new election in March 2015 decides to reintroduce or even raise the support for the journals can only win. For a very small sum of money, this minister will gain respect and will be remembered as the one who saved the public critical dialogue and debate in Sweden.
For just a few of the articles, read (in Swedish) here, here, here, here, and here.

"A whole segment of critical debate is erased (…)" describes editor and critic Kim West in an article in Kunstkritikk where he writes about the outrage that hit Sweden on Friday (December 12th).
The coalition of Liberal-Conservatives is cutting the support for the rich variety of cultural journals in Sweden by around 80%. This means a whole art form is being closed down and killed. In one stroke of the red pen. No other European country has done the same.
This is possible due to the dramatic development in Swedish politics the last few weeks where the Sweden Democrats decided to vote for the opposition party's budget, instead of the ruling left-wing coalition's budget. This meant that the government's budget didn't win the election in parliament and therefore has to rule on the opposition party's budget in waiting for the new election on March 22 2015.
And apparently the coalition of Liberal and Conservatives now take the chance to fulfil cuts of 365 million SEK in the cultural budget. 15 million SEK of these are being cut in one area specifically: cultural journals. The support for this area is 19 million SEK in total today, cutting 15 million SEK of these leaves 4 million SEK left.
This means that a whole sector is sentenced to a sure death.
Cultural journals are already living on the economic edge. Editors, writers, and critics are getting very low payment for their articles. These people are magicians who have dedicated their time to make sure that critical journalism and quality texts are still produced. The wide variety of critical and intensifying perspectives have been a pride in Swedish democracy. The Liberal-Conservatives showed on Friday how easily this could be ruined.
This is also done in a time when the media crisis is being discussed (just lately in three articles in the daily Göteborgs-Posten), newspapers are closing down their cultural pages, and critical and culture journalism is being severely threatened.
These times calls for action!
Sign this petition just to start with: Rädda Kulturtidskriftsstödet (Save the support for cultural journals).

The Region Västra Götaland announced two cultural policy sensations on September 25 at Göteborg Book Fair, the largest Nordic book fair just taking place in the city.
The chairman of the Committee of Culture in Region Västra Götaland, Alex Bergström, together with vice chairman Lars Nordström, proudly presented the decision in the committee of establishing a fund for essays. The fund will give up to 500.000 SEK for essays published in a cultural journal. The fund is unique in Sweden.
The other new initiative is support for translation of literature written by immigrant authors living in Sweden.
The region has also decided to become a region for refuge authors and artists and has become a member of ICORN (International cities of refuge network).
Chairman of the Writer's Centre in West Sweden, Carl Forsberg, saw this as an important development and possibility for the small, often economically restrained, cultural journals and for authors.
The seminar was moderated by David Karlsson, chairman of Nätverkstan.

The debate on art and business or art and economics can be somewhat confusing.
It's complex and easy to get entagled along never-ending blind discussion- alleys with no emergency exit. The result being that the important discussion on cultural entrepreneurship and the possibilities for artists to live on their art is lost.
Nätverkstan, with author David Karlsson, has together with Region Västra Götaland tried to untangle some of these knots by producing this Questions&Facts booklet.
It's formed as a quick guide with focus on cultural entrepreneurship. Not art. Not business. But art and business.

Professor Justin O'Connor will soon host Göteborg and Stockholm discussing cultural and creative industries and the myth of the creative city.
In 2007, Professor Justin O'Connor wrote the report The cultural and creative industries: a review of the literature for the University of Leeds that might be useful background for the eager participant.
Are we in the moment of time where a need for "a refusal of creativity and its illusions in a spirit Adorno would recognise" and maybe "creativity" is the problem? Will the underlying tensions in the cultural industries between capitalism and cultural value call for another understanding of the concept?

In the middle of the roaring debate on the future of Lagerhuset, the Warehouse, a building in central Göteborg housing small-scale independent cultural organizations, publishers, and cultural journals, the digital journal Alba and Tidskriftsverkstan i Väst arranged a debate on cultural policy in the House of Literature (located in Lagerhuset).
It couldn't be better timing.
But let's start from the beginning. The old warehouse built in beginning of 1900 was for a long time a toll free warehouse for goods stored waiting for taxation to continue into the city. The building was then empty for a long time but in 1999 a group of small-scale publishers moved in together with Nätverkstan, Tidskriftsverkstan i Väst, the journals Ord&Bild, Glänta, and Paletten.
Other small businesses moved in, such as photographers, psychologists, architects, and editors.
In 2013 Frilagret started its cultural space for young people with dialogue processes and an active group of young cultural-interested people setting the agenda, an organization owned by the municipality. In October the same year the House of Literature opened its doors for readings, discussions on literature, space for writing, debates and discussions with authors, another of the municipality owned activities in the building.
And in March 2014 it was clear that the landlord, another part of the municipality, their own real-estate company Higab is chock-raising the rent for those in the house negotiating their contracts. One publishing house is leaving already in June.
The cluster of small-scale cultural organizations and entrepreneurs has taking long to create. And it can be destroyed in a second. No one can afford 30-35% higher rent.
With one hand the municipality is investing in a cultural house, while the other is pulling the rug under the feet of all the cultural organizations already in the building.
Of all the seminars, conferences, public debates and discussions on the cultural and creative city over the last ten years, Higab must have missed them all.
And they missed yesterday's debate as well. Where are they? Are they at all concerned of the context and society they work in?

Is there a need for a joint Capacity Building program within Art and Entrepreneurship on the regional level in East Africa, driven and run by the cultural field? If so, what could a program look like?
Those have been questions discussed on the second meeting with representatives from cultural organizations as well as artists from Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, and Rwanda. The meeting in Kampala on March 6–9, included several large questions.
What kind of competence building is needed among artists and cultural organizations? Is the perspective of livelihood a useful one? What are points of similarities in the context and cultural scene in the different countries, and what are the differences?
Three intense conference-days, with visits of cultural organizations in Kampala, ended in the conclusion that this process, discussion, and concrete ideas need to continue.
Three concrete points already happening is:
1) the GoDown Arts Centre start a term 1 course in Creative Entrepreneurship in May.
2) it might be possible to hold a facilitators' course and training-for-trainers with regional partners sometime between May and August,
3) another meeting on the East Africa level will be held, probably in August, this time hosted by either Tanzania or Rwanda and with local artists invited.
On the meeting in Uganda artists within performing arts, writing, and visual art was participating, as well as representatives from Bayimba Cultural Foundation (Uganda), Femrite (Uganda), 32°East (Uganda), Autumn Ventures Africa (Uganda), MUDA (Tanzania), Ishyo Arts Centre (Rwanda).
The meeting is part of the project "East Africa Capacity Building Program for Creative Entrepreneurs and Artists" funded mainly by the Swedish Institute and is a cooperation between GoDown Arts Centre (Kenya) and Nätverkstan (Sweden).

Writing a few words on an empty piece of paper can be the most difficult thing. The choices of words, constructions, meanings are endless. It seems like an impossible act to write anything of meaning. And yet, when you read a text that just flows it seems so easy. The choices of words and how they are put together becomes like a magic formula that touches your soul.
In the daily Dagens Nyheter last spring (27/4 2013), literary critic Åsa Beckman did an open analysis of one of Swedish poet Birger Sjöberg's (1885–1929) poems: Varje ord skall andas (my translation: Every word shall breathe). The poem is a beautiful text on the meaning of each word and how they should breathe, live, be strong. "At attention, each phrase!", he writes.
Perhaps this is when words become so dangerous to some.
Two Persian poets are now in prison in Iran for what they write; Fateme Ekhtesari and Mehdi Moosavi. And they are not the only ones. "Poets are highly dangerous", says the Chair of the Swedish PEN Association, Ola Larsmo, recently in the daily Göteborgs-Posten.
In many of the world's dictatorships writers, poets, journalists are in prison. The situation for writers around the world has worsened, Ola Larsmo states.
Let the new year of 2014 be the year when they are all set free.
Poem by Birger Sjöberg:
Varje ord skall andas
Varje ord skall andas och sin bröstkorg häva,
varje sats skall kunna ränna kring och stå,
skyldra, gå på tå,
svimma, trängta, sväva.
Det är ej så lätt, att liv av prickar väva,
att i typers prassliga små buskar
låta friska kinder sticka fram.
En sats skall ju bli ett träd, som ruskar,
en en fisk, som spritter,
en ett fågelkvitter,
en en sorgehögtid allvarsam.
Nu giv akt, vart ord!
Dra ej med er slarviga soldater.
Samlas på mitt bord,
alla, friska, starka, levande kamrater.
And a try for a quick translation, without any claim of poetic qualities but just for the English speaking readers to get an idea of the content of the poem:
Every word shall breathe
Every word shall breathe and its chest heave/every sentence shall run around and stow/arms present, tip on toe/faint, yearn, leave/It is not so easy, to life in dots weave/to in types' rustly small bushes/let fresh cheeks stick out brave/Why a sentence shall be a tree, that swooshes/one a fish, that jitter/one a bird twitter/one a mourning sermon so grave/Now, stand at attention, each phrase!/Don't pull with you careless soldiers/At my table embrace/all, healthy, strong, living comrades.

Kulturchock packed the suitcases with Swedish cultural journals and travelled to Helsinki Book Fair that just took place.
On the airport they met the first (that we have seen) print-on-demand machine for buying periodicals and journals, Meganews. It's time to check what the deal is and how cultural journals can be part of this very modern way of buying journals.

On a three day seminar in Stockholm at Museum of Modern Art in 2007 to celebrate a hundred years since philosopher Hannah Arendt's birth, the book on Eichmann in Jerusalem and the banality of evil was not mentioned, journalist and critic Ingrid Elam noticed in her review of the seminar in daily Dagens Nyheter. It was not until someone in the audience asked the key speaker, philosopher Agnes Heller, that this work was discussed. It was all good reasons for this; the focus was on Arendt's other important work.
Yet, reading Eichmann in Jerusalem (1963) it's difficult not to stay with her theories and reflect on their importance. They not only say something about the times in Europe during the Nazi era, they describe an on-going civil dilemma between bureaucratization and people.
Two things are especially terrifying and still today relevant.
One is the systematic way the in which the bureaucracy was built around, first emigration of the Jewish people from Germany, later the "final solution" to send Jews to death centers. The language used to describe this wasn't a mass-murderer's, Hannah Arendt reflects, it was instead in terms such of "programs" organizationally put under "administration and economy". Hitler and his men managed to build a bureaucracy in which the language around the "final solution" was not immediately offensive or against people's normal conscience. Finally, it seemed like a necessity, like an objective question that needed a solution.
The other is how she described Eichmann. He was not a monstrous murderer; he was not even particularly evil. She de-demonized him and he stands out neither as a diabolic character or a fanatic. He is just a dull bureaucrat with no ideas and a complete lack of critical thinking. He follows orders and is trying to do his job the best he can, wanting to climb to more important jobs and positions within the structure.
Since Arendt wrote this book in 1960s, even since the seminar in 2007, the European society has changed.
The economic crisis have had devastating effects in many countries with high unemployment rates and raise of poverty as a result. Art and culture has seen substantial cuts, of which effects for society we haven't yet seen. Where will critical thinking be practiced?
Racist parties around Europe are filling seats in parliaments, some of them with roots in neo-Nazism. They changed their shaved heads to slick hairstyles and proper suits to better fit in to the political corridors. Their language is changing to not being immediately offensive and therefore suit a larger group of the population. Their main point on the agenda is limiting immigration, keeping a nation "traditional" concerning everything from habits, culture and people.
As Ingrid Elam writes in her article (DN 15/1 2007), If Arendt had lived today she would have written about how today's stateless people and refugees are handled by very ordinary people.
Hanna Arendt wrote the book "Eichmann in Jerusalem" in 1963 and it is a collection of a series of articles written when she was covering the trial on Nazi Adolf Eichmann for the journal The New Yorker in Jerusalem in 1961. The book is translated into Swedish and published by Daidalos in 1996.
Article by Ingrid Elam in Dagens Nyheter (DN) on 15 of January 2007 can be found here.
In this year's Göteborg International Film Festival (January 2013) they showed the film on Hannah Arendt by director Margarethe von Trotta.
American artist Andrea Geyer did an interesting piece on the trial with Hannah Arendt's book as main base, Criminal Case 40/61: Reverb, 2009, which was shown, among other places, at Göteborg Konsthall in 2010.

Göteborg is the host city of one of the biggest book fairs in Northern Europe. The latest years, the need of finding another positioning has evolved and to meet this need Mediadagarna – The Media Days fires off for the second year in a row.
Nätverkstan and Kulturchock, who work vividly with different ideas and initiatives to meet up the needs of the cultural journals, see this platform as one way of putting the Swedish cultural journals on the map.
We are already convinced of the multi-dimensional spread in content as well as subjects presented in the printed cultural journals and their role in Swedish democracy. What we had not digged deeper into before was the sound of them. What would they sound like if it was sound? We decided to build a sound installation in order to make them "speak" in a new way.
From an old portable typewriter you hear the sound of typings from laptops as well as manual key buttons in a mxi with lead pencils writing on paper. "Typings" is a 7`48"tape recording played in a loop.
From the headphones attached to the installation play a variation of sound samples from cultural magazines that work with additional formats as sound. Some do radio, talking magazines or present sound art works along with their releases. For this special occasion we also did a special recording of a young girl reading poetry from the arty, literary, and philosophic edition of OEI.

To find the depth in culture journals you don't need 3D-glasses, but sometimes a little better exposure would help.
The team running the Nätverkstan project Kulturchock (Culture Chock), who are quoted above, are clever people. New this year is a cooperation with eleven specific bookshops to expose the cultural journals under the signature "Cultural Journals Weeks". Some of the best bookhops in the country are leaving their best marketing spot to cultural journals: the shopping-windows!
The Cultural Journals Week will be visable from South to North during January and February and some already started!

The 31st of December was a historic day. The very last printed issue of Newsweek was published and distributed. From now on the only way to read Newsweek is on the web.
Newsweek is an American weekly news magazine, published since 1933 in New York City and with US and international distribution. I
n October 2012 the editor Tina Brown announced that the weekly would end it's eighty years of printed publication to go only digital. It's an historic change and follows a period of changes within in printed press due to changing reading habits. Read more of the challenges and future of print here.
Nätverkstan managed to get the hands on a copy of the very last issue. And as the historic winds of change are blowing around us we continue our work to help small cultural journals and publicists to face the digital challenges and find solutions that are cost effective. This year the project Literature and digitization will take further steps in this direction with funding from Region Västra Götaland.

Ghanian writer Kojo Laing talks softly but with emphasis. Every word comes from the heart and touches the heart of the audience. It's the most generous and honest presentation I have heard in many years.
It's like a curse, he says about writing. He can't stop. He has tried to stop, but he just can't.
Coming from a Christian family in Ghana, his father was a priest, and with all his five siblings working within the church, he is the only one being a writer and also in pressing doubt in faith, something that is also topics in many of his books. He leans forward in his chair, looks over the audience, hitting his chest with his hand and asks, insisting on the honesty of this question: Am I a fool? Am I crazy having this doubt? Can anyone in the room say that they are anywhere near the doubt I have?
His writing is anything but a simple process, he tells us. One of the books took eight years to write. He wanted to write Ghanian and English, not for the sake of it, but because he wanted to squeeze out the English from the Ghanian languages. With his hands he shows us the guesture of thoroughly and hard squeezing water from wet laundry. And that took time. He picks up the book, shows it, and looks at it, exhausted. And goes quiet.
He answers each question posed by Kwani Trust Chairman Tom Maliti sometimes with a big smile of a question that he founds on the spot, then continues with a story and sometimes ends abruptly. The room gets quiet a short second before a new line of thought is unfolded.
Kojo Laing is like a ghost in his own country, he describes his situation. His books are mainly published outside of Ghana. But on the question if he would rather write something else, if he got the chance to re-do things, something less controversial that sold many, many copies of his books and made him more famous, his answer is distinct and clear. He couldn't write anything else. This is what he writes.
A young woman raises her hand and asks what he suggests a young writer should think about pursuing a career as a writer?
Be yourself, is his first answer. Read as much as your brain can contain. The more you read, the more complex you become. And it applies to experience as well. Paradoxical experience. Encourage many identities. It will be needed as the world goes smaller.
And he adds and laughs: And when you get advices you reject them.
Kwani? Litfest 2012 is a yearly literature festival run by Kwani Trust in Nairobi. This year the theme is Conversations with the Horn. Writers, artists in exchange.

In Copenhagen it is called "the book happening of the year". This is also why Kulturchock made the decision to participate at the event that during the years has expanded in favour for both dedicated readers and the book industry in Denmark.
For Kulturchock it is not only the purpose to improve the distribution and visibility for the Swedish cultural magazines within the country. It is also a beneficial opportunity to overbridge borders both internationally and linguistically to show the multifaceted goldmine that we possess. The 100 culture magazines that we represent impress many of the book fairs visitors, and the question is not why the swedish magazines are there, but why the danish aren´t? Ivan Rød, head of the organisation for danish cultural magazines, tells us that the granting for these magazines har been withdrawn and that they can not afford participating. Nevertheless, the danish literature magazine Standart was elected this year´s cultural magazine in the Nordic countries.
The showcase for cultural magazines at the book fair in Gothenburg this year was a collaboration between Kulturchock at Nätverkstan and Tidskriftscentralen in Finland. In addition to the Swedish and Finnish magazines you could also find Danish and Norwegian ones. Maybe this concept can evolve and be used at future events?
Thank you for this visit, BogForum, see you again in 2013?

Since 2009 large and small newspapers around the world have been facing difficulties with drop in profit, drop in sales with job cuts as a result.
The latest in the line of newspaper cuts is Newsweek announcing earlier this fall the end of printed publication, and only going digital. December 31 is the last printed issue being distributed changing an eighty year chain of printed publications. The Independent as another example of a troubled newspaper and in the US the newspaper scene has changed drastically with papers like The Seattle Post-intelligencer, The Detroit News, and The San Francisco Chronicle and more severely being reduced and some closed down.
The Swedish daily Dagens Nyheter has seen a drastic cut among employees and the latest news is that the other large daily Svenska Dagbladet has to save around 40 million SEK leading to cutting off it's cultural pages and having around 50–60 employees are loosing their jobs.
Smaller newspapers are facing the same future. Nerikes Allehanda and Vestmanlands Läns Tidning, who both have the same owner, are cutting with 75 people during this year (read more here).
Times for newspapers and journals are dramatically changing. What is the future of printed press? Will heaps of printed books, journals, newspapers just be stored in piles collecting dust while the readers are elsewhere?
Cultural critic Olav Fumarola Unsgaard addresses this challenge and the future of print in an article at A-Desk Critical Thinking. He writes:
To understand the media landscape of today we must change our point of viewpoint. The world of printed media is today going through very rapid changes. To make it simple all these changes are in one way or another connected to digitalisation and the Internet. First of all we must understand that these changes have an impact on the entire sector of print. This means newspapers, journals, magazines, books and comics. It will affect the worldwide media conglomerates as well as the small fanzines. In the words of Joseph Schumpeter is there a massive creative destruction going on. Someone will lose and someone will gain.
Read the full article here.
Olav Fumarola Unsgaard is cultural journalist, book editor and project manager, also a former project manager for the long tail-project at Nätverkstan. Today mostly working with the Swedish publishing house Atlas and the journals Fronesis and Ord&Bild.

It's almost unbearable to read.
Belarus writer Svetlana Aleksijevitj's book with Swedish title Kriget har inget kvinnligt ansikte (The war doesn't have a female face, my translation) is a remarkable project that took her years to finish. She has interviewed women all around Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, has loads of cassette tapes where these now elderly women tell their horrifying stories of joining the army at ages 16–18 years and the hardships and terrifying work as snipers, nurses, pilots, military seargents, soldiers, engineers, and as members of the partisans and resistance movement.
Women's role in the military during the Second World War in Russia has never been highlighted. They continued their life after the war, bearing their sorrows, trying to forget while the victory of the war has been contributed men. Aleksijevitj wants to let them be heard, wants to tell their stories, the choices they had to make, their everyday struggles in the war, in life, as daughters, wives, mothers, and soldiers.
At points I have to put it aside, but then I pick it up again. I'm obliged to listen to these women and what they went through during the war and nine hundred days of siege of Leningrad (St Petersburg) by the nazists during 1941-1944. Swedish journalist Ulrika Knutson writes in her resumé in Expressen last week that if you only read one book this year, this should be the one.
I read it as I am on my way to St Petersburg to speak on a seminar about women creativity. I am shaken.
Nätverkstan has been invited to St Petersburg to speak in connection to the opening of the exhibition Creative Women on October 23, exhibiting Inventions from Swedish women.
The exhibition is an initiative by Tekniska Museet (The Swedish National Museum of Science and Technology) where Museum Director Ann Follin realized when looking through the 55.000 objects in their collection that only 100 of these were made by women. It also showed when looking deeper that of all patent applications in Sweden only five percent came from women.
This raised questions of whether women are less inventive than men? Or perhaps less creative?
They didn't believe this to be true and put together the exhibition of women inventors, an exhibition that in cooperation with Swedish Institute has toured to around ten different countries raising questions of the role of women in innovation.
The St Petersburg-based organisation Social and Economic Institute arranges the seminar inviting a Swedish and a Russian speaker. Olga Gracheva gave a very interesting contribution of the NGO Kaykino Creative Projects she just started two years ago with the aim of promoting and develop interest for the rural area around St Petersburg. An amazing initiative.
The women in the book are with me.
The only connection between these two things is that it's about women and their hidden voices. Women in 1940s and women in 2012.
Swedish Institute supports the seminar and project, host organization in St Petersburg (run by two charismatic women) is the Social and Economic Institute, an institute focussing on educational initiatives, projects, conferences, and exchanges of experiences between women in the world. The exhibition is shown at the Water Museum, a museum examining the role of water with both an educational and interactive part for children and an open part for the public.
Svetlana Aleksijevit's book "Kriget har inget kvinnligt ansikte" is translated by Kajsa Öberg Lindsten (Ersatz 2012).

It was around 11:30pm on a Tuesday not too long ago, when after an extended day at the office, I find myself driving back home. All of a sudden I begin to feel something inside of me, and no I'm not trying to be spiritual, actually it was my stomach growling. It had totally slipped my mind, that due to my focus on work I had skipped lunch and dinner, and I was now very hungry. For the next moments I'm contemplating the idea if I rather go home and reheat leftovers or just go the nearest burger place and grab a bite. I decide to pass up my street and drive towards Whataburger. (Don't judge me, lol)
Thankfully that burger chain is 24 hours open and because it was so late I didn't have to wait long to get and start enjoying my food. A few minutes later I noticed a young man in blue jean shorts and a white muscle t-shirt enter and begin ordering. And when it came time for him to pay, I noticed he reached to his back pocket and then his front pocket and he couldn't find his wallet. While this is happening, I'm not able to hear a single word what he and the lady across the counter are saying to each but just by observing them, I'm connecting the dots in my head. He then pulls out his cell phone and signals to the lady that he is going to make a phone call and he steps outside to talk. Right when he walks out, I again begin to feel something inside of me, and this time it wasn't hunger but rather the Spirit of God leading me to get up and pay for this guy's food.
Honestly, at first I tried to not pay attention to what I was feeling. Reasons began to race through my mind about why I wasn't able to and why I shouldn't pay. I didn't know this guy, I don't know how much he had ordered, but I eventually gave up fighting and was obedient. I hadn't even finished my food yet but choose to take advantage of the guy being outside to pay now discreetly. As soon as I paid I mentioned to the cashier not to tell him I had paid for him I wanted it to be a surprise. I asked for my food to go and began walking to my car, the whole while I can still see him on the phone. In my car I wait for a couple of seconds to see if he ever went back inside (no I'm not a stalker), when all of a sudden a car pulls up next to him. I'm expecting for someone to roll down their window and hand him some cash but the surprise was on me when I saw him get into the car and began driving off.
I was in shock. How was God going to allow this? I had just paid and he didn't even go back inside to get his food. I'm not sure what rose up on the inside of me (and I warn you please don't try this at home) but I chose to follow him in my car. Again please don't do this and much less in the middle of the night, but I really wanted him to get his food. I tried flashing my lights, that didn't stop him. I tried honking, that didn't stop him either. But I was able to get his attention when he had to stop at the next red light.
And the following is a short version of our conversation that night.
Me: "Excuse me."
Him: "WHAT DO YOU WANT?!"
Me: (with shaky voice) "Hi, you don't know me but I was at the Whataburger you just left. I couldn't help but notice you didn't pick up your food and I just wanted to let you know your food is waiting for you."
Him: "But I didn't pay for it."
Me: "Ya but I think someone paid for you."
He stayed looking at me for a few seconds and then said: "You paid for it didn't you?"
Me: (hesitantly) "Yea."
When I said that I noticed his attitude and tone of voice changed towards me. And I too felt relieved.
Him: "Why did you do that?"
And it was there sitting at an intersection in La Joya, TX where I took the next few minutes telling him about why I did what I did and about my relationship with the Lord. After we said goodbye to each other, he made a U-turn to go back and pick up his food and I continued driving home with a smile on my face.
And it is in the front seat of my car where the Lord taught me a valuable lesson, which I want you to share with you now.
Many times when God calls us to do something or take a stand for Him, it's going to be outside of our comfort zone. If He calls us to do something that's in our reach and resources and we can accomplish it without Him, it won't really require faith. But if what He is calling us to do is bigger than us and we can't do it alone, we are going to have to rely on Him in faith.
And when we study the Bible all the examples of men and women who did something great for God; we can see that it took both faith and them stepping out of their comfort zone.
It was with faith in God that Jocabed was able to place her son in a basket and into a river to save his life; it was faith in God that Moses raised his staff and parted the Red Sea for the Israelites to cross; and it is with faith in God that you and I will also be able to do what God calls us to do.
I am convinced that it's time for us to be comfortable with being uncomfortable for God.
Was I kinda hesitant and fearful in following this guy and talking him, you better believe it. Was I out of my comfort zone while I did it, you better believe it. Did I learn something that day that I'll never forget, you better believe it.
Friend, I encourage and challenge you today to do what God has called you to do, even if it's outside your comfort zone, believing that He goes with you and make everything possible.

Golden Red Lentil Dal with Cilantro-Speckled Basmati

Today I will be taking my first Tai Chi class at a local health centre and Dave will be joining me. We have made a pact to change our lives for the better and try to do it in a way that will be sustainable because in the past we have failed spectacularly.
The first step is to attend a weekly beginners Tai Chi Course with the view to then move on to the Advanced Tai Chi.
Why Tai Chi?
My OT and Physio both recommended this form of exercise but only through a recommended class because if I follow a DVD then chances are I would be doing it wrong and causing myself harm. With having hypermobility EDS, ME and Fibro it is important that someone supervises and teaches me how to do the moves in the correct way to avoid damage to my joints, muscles and ligaments.
Dave is hoping the class will help to improve his back strength and wizened calf muscle on his left leg, by strengthening it and slowly increasing the weight~bearing so that he can apply the same pressure through each calf muscle and hope to have no more limping in the future.
I understand there are different forms of Tai Chi, the type we will be learning is Tai Chi as taught by Master Jason Chan. The class includes Chi King and flowing movement, which is perfect for us
As well as taking these classes we are changing our eating habits ~ something we struggled with in the past. This time however we have the girls to support our food choices and will make preparing food easier as 2 daughters are vegan and 1 Pescatarian and dairy free.
The diet I'll be following is vegetarian with the odd vegan day ~ with a possibility of then following a vegan diet in the future. I enjoy the vegan meals the girls make, so when we are cooking together the whole family will eat vegan. On other days I will be veggie because I find that easier to prepare quickly.
I have been left with residual weight after my stint on steroids ~ especially my upper belly which makes me look pregnant and my upper arms. I am have been surprised by my bum ~ it's not as big and baggy as I thought it was!
So today is day one.
I am 18 stone
Size 18 in clothes
Measurements are hefty, proper sturdy girl stuff of
Waist 42″
Bust 45″
Hips 49″
I will be taking photographs and measurements monthly, plus weigh myself fortnightly.
The main thing is ~ I am happy as I am now but would be happier still if I could lose some weight to take the pressure off my joints and hopefully reduce my pain and the swelling in my feet.
I am blogging my journey to share how it works ~ whether it helps or not. The struggles the highs and lows ~ but most of all that being big is nothing to be ashamed of. I am not looking to become thin, instead looking to drop down a clothes size or two and perhaps a few stone. I am not setting a target weight or a time to achieve it by.
What is important for me is to find the right balance of weight and shape to improve my health. To reduce the risk of diabetes, heart disease and stroke. As I approach my 50th birthday I am more aware than ever of my mortality. Nothing is a given, life is a gift and our bodies are incredible machines that go through some battering throughout our lives. I want to put some plasters across the cracks and slowly allow them to heal.
So this is me, in my Tai Chi outfit, no lump or bump is hidden ~ it's all me, every last little bit. Note the steroid tummy but also note the tight butt ~ I always look for the positive within the negatives.
Tummy = boo, hiss v Butt = not too shabby!

Read my short bio here: ** About John Exley **.
WHY I STARTED THE X FACTOR: read ** the whole story here **.
With this blog, I hope to share what I am learning with the world. That's why I started 'The X Factor' – to study the patterns of those who are successfully starting, building, and investing in startups. 'The X Factor' is that tough-to-describe element that sets apart the leader from the followers. The 'distinguishing component' might be different across every successful artist who has become a leader in her craft. With this site, I want to help you discover 'The X Factor' that will serve as a catalyst for your own success story.
I love God, my family, & my friends more than anything in the world. In three words, I am: loyal, compassionate, and dedicated. I think my background is somewhat unique: I was homeschooled by my mom until the 10th grade, am a born-again Christian, and grew up in the small town of Bristol, NY but spent much of my teenage years playing basketball in Rochester's inner city.
My personality is founded on my love for helping people: I love connecting with people and having unforgettable experiences with the people I love. God is my foundation, relationships are the center of my happiness, coffee (which I always double-cup) can be my fuel, technology is my muse, traveling = my source of discovery, fashion is my self-expression, and helping others is my cup of tea.
Meanwhile, I am a senior 'Interdisciplinary Engineering & Management' student at Clarkson University in northern New York. I was President of the Collegiate Entrepreneurs' Organization at Clarkson for 3 semesters, and I loved every second of it. As President, I helped organize Clarkson's first ever Elevator Pitch competition (author and serial entrepreneur Mike Michalowicz gave the keynote address). I also spoke on several panels at the National CEO Conference in Chicago during my junior year.
During the spring 2010 semester I studied abroad in Singapore at National University. In the fall of 2010 I studied 'International Business & Trade' at American University as part of the 'Washington Semester Program'. That November, I traveled across China (from Beijing to Shanghai to Hong Kong) with 14 other students, visiting companies and learning about the business and political culture.
In March 2012, the Washington Semester Program interviewed me to catch up on the aftermath of my experience in D.C. (thanks Chloë Troia!).
People. It is what sparked my imagination with technology in the first place – the idea that I could maintain relationships on a much grander scale, while also forming new friendships with almost anyone in the world. For example, the Internet has torn down barriers and made it much easier to learn from, have conversations with, and even become friends with successful leaders.
I am obsessed with staying in touch with my friends and family. Nevertheless, it is not always easy to. It is this problem – finding better ways to manage your relationships and remember who you know – that is always on my mind and will often keep me up late into the night.
Everything I worked for the past few years led me to one startup: Hashable. In fact, my journey to interning at Hashable this past summer is a pretty crazy story (detailed in full here). The summer changed my life. I was a User Support and Community Management intern, and I helped organize two events for interns in NYC that Hashable sponsored (*first event summary here).
We had around 120 interns attend each event, and brought in some very successful entrepreneurs as speakers (including my heroine Rachel Sklar of Change The Ratio, Alexis Ohanian of Reddit, Dina Kaplan of Blip.tv, and Christina Cacioppo of Union Square Ventures). I spearheaded a partnership with the NY Creative Interns and scored sponsorships from the likes of TechStars NY, Meetup, Shelby.tv, and Zaarly (*second event summary here).
After helping YouNow Founder/CEO Adi Sideman launch his startup onstage at TechCrunch Disrupt in San Francisco (story and video here) and demo onstage at the New York Tech Meetup (video here)… and then graduate from Clarkson… I'm now back in NYC. I joined up with Mike Yavonditte and team once again at his new startup, YieldMo, where we are rethinking advertising and monetization on mobile.
I don't know what will come next, but I promise to make a more concerted effort to share the story of all that I'm learning right here on The X Factor.
Shout out to the girl who inspired me to write…

With the calendar flipping from one year to the next this past week, it's only natural to wonder what the next 365 days have in store. It's even more understandable if you're a Mac fan. After all, Macworld Expo looms just a week or so away, and with that annual trade show comes the promise of new and exciting developments from Apple and beyond.
So for the past eight Januarys, we've broken out the crystal ball and indulged in a little soothsaying. We gather up the brightest minds of the Mac universe and ask them to dig deep into their reservoir of knowledge and expertise to determine which way the Mac market is headed.
Usually, they wind up just making wild guesses.
So without further ado, here's this year's edition of our fearless forecasts from four Mac observers hoping to be able to say the sweetest words in the English language by this time next year: I told you so.
Dan Frakes, Macworld senior editor
A Mac subnotebook: Apple will (finally) reintroduce a smaller, lighter laptop made for road warriors. Like older entries in this market, such as the PowerBook 2400c, the new model will forgo an internal optical drive to achieve a smaller size, but it will also feature new technologies that let it slim down while providing better performance and improved battery life, such as a solid-state hard drive, an LED screen, and a low-power processor.
A new desktop: Apple will (finally) give us a midrange, screenless Mac--something in between the Mac mini and the Mac Pro--for people who don't want an all-in-one desktop system. It will have a reasonably powerful processor, a decent (and upgradable) graphics card, and room for a PCI card and an additional hard drive. This machine will be great for "switchers" accustomed to such configurations on the Windows side, as well as for people who want upgradability but can't afford--or just don't need--a Mac Pro. It will also be an excellent second Mac for many in the Mac Pro market.
A new Mac market: The debut of Leopard, along with a general dissatisfaction with Windows Vista, will open doors for the Mac in the enterprise market. In fact, we'll see a few major U.S. companies switch to the Mac platform--some gradually, but at least a couple in a major public migration. We'll also see a resurgence of the Mac platform in higher education.
Andy Ihnatko, Chicago Sun-Times technology and computer columnist, and former Macworld columnist.
Apple's new platform: Look at the puzzle pieces. A sophisticated, gesture-based user interface. OS X running on nontraditional devices. A new developer environment and API for iDevices that was so tricky that Apple couldn't release it or even hint at it until three months after the iPhone was released... and even then, only under duress. Features embedded in Mac OS that help you invisibly tether two OS X devices' resources together, whether they're in the same room or merely on the same planet. A movement from Apple to put the bulk of its energy into consumer products and not computer products.
I'm fairly sure that 2008 will see an entire new platform. The iPhone is a phone, and the iPod touch is an iPhone without the phone stuff. The next i-Suffix will be a totally new thing. Not a Mac... not really. An iPhone, kind of, but sort of not. Take the screen off a MacBook and slice it in two vertically. That's the device. It'll play media--including Office documents, PDFs, and e-books--from its 16GB of flash storage. It'll have Wi-Fi and the Safari browser... maybe even 3G or EDGE, as with an iPhone. It will secure-tunnel back to your home Mac or PC, and you'll be able to use this thing to access any resources you might have left behind. It will put every digital resource you have at your fingertips, in one compact black slate.
It will run native software, too. Curious, isn't it, that in October Steve Jobs announced that Apple wouldn't be taking the wrapper off the iPhone developers' kit until February? It's almost as if the resources that are plainly available in the SDK would have spilled the beans on the device Steve intends to unveil during his Macworld Expo keynote in January.
Maybe I'm spot-on with this. Maybe not. But I'll make one prediction about Apple's hot new product of 2008 that I'll stand behind without any waffling: whatever it is, people will complain that it costs way too much money, and they'll happily stand in line for a minimum of 18 hours to get one.
Dan Moren, Macworld associate editor and MacUser co-editor
Why buy when you can rent?: People have become plenty comfortable with buying their music online, but sales of digital video have remained lukewarm. Despite its spats with content providers like NBC, I expect to see a strong push from Apple on the digital video front in 2008, probably involving a long-awaited update to the Apple TV and a video-rental download service. (Ed. Note: Mr. Moren submitted this prediction before reports surfaced of a possible Apple-Fox iTunes movie rental deal.) And perhaps even another open letter from Steve Jobs, containing a list of his all-time favorite romantic comedies.
Touching the Mac: We've seen an evolution in the Mac over the past couple of years, but it's been a while since we've had a real revolution. With all the work Apple has put into the multitouch interface, which has jumped from the iPhone to the iPod line, the Mac seems a likely next stop. I'm guessing we'll see it in a portable form factor rather than a desktop. Sorry Minority Report fans; you'll just have to wait.
More iPhone developments: Even if the iPhone isn't the best-selling product Apple has, it's still the most iconic device of the past year, in any industry. Look for Apple to capitalize on that momentum with a second-generation iPhone, based (at last) on 3G wireless technology. But the real question remains "Will the iPhone 2.0 cook me dinner?"
John Moltz, Crazy Apple Rumors Site editor in chief
A thinner laptop: At Macworld Expo in January, Steve Jobs will unveil a wafer-thin, 13-inch Mac laptop based on flash memory, giving it 12 hours of battery life. The resulting nerdgasm will shatter the glass exterior of Moscone West.
NBC finds allies: More entertainment companies will attempt to strong-arm Apple into raising prices at the iTunes Store. Apple will then be forced to create its own content, and Jobs will form "Stevie and the Apple Execs," a hip new boy band.
Look out, ModBook: Apple will release a tablet device with pen-based input capability. Strangely, the device will be called "The First Person To Call It a Newton Gets Socked in the Throat."
iPhone: The sequel: The next-generation iPhone will be released in the second quarter of the year. AT&T will prompt customers to upgrade by sending them frequent text messages informing them that their original iPhones are no longer cool.
And one more thing...: Apple will introduce another line of consumer products, this time in the realm of dental care. The Apple Toothbrush will include the first user-friendly application of DRM--dental rights management. Using its patented FairBrush technology, each Apple Toothbrush will be locked to a single Apple ID. The device will be wildly popular because nobody likes it when someone else uses their toothbrush. Even John Dvorak will hail Apple's move.

An Introduction to Social Entrepreneurship
Voices, Preconditions, Contexts
Edited by Rafeal Ziegler
Chapter 10: Social Entrepreneurship in the UK: From Rhetoric to Reality?
Paola Grenier
Paola Grenier INTRODUCTION 10.1 A growing band of social entrepreneurs, working at the grass roots of the welfare system in the space between the public and private sector, are developing innovative answers to many of Britain's most pressing social problems. Social entrepreneurs are leading innovation in the most dynamic parts of the voluntary sector and on the edge of the public sector, often with the help of private sector partners. They frequently use business methods to find new solutions to problems such as homelessness, drug dependency and joblessness. They create innovative services by taking under-utilised resources – particularly buildings and people – to address social needs left unmet by the public sector or the market. (Leadbeater, 1997: back cover) In the mid to late 1990s, the idea that individual 'social entrepreneurs' were critical to the successful tackling of social problems started to be taken seriously in policy circles in the UK. Social entrepreneurs were presented as similar to business entrepreneurs – visionary individuals with the drive, passion and skills that are generally associated with the private sector. Social entrepreneurs, however, were credited with creating social value and public benefit rather than private wealth, most often through non-profit or voluntary action. They were presented as a new kind of innovative leader, transforming existing institutions and introducing much needed social change at all levels of society. They were promoted as central to the modernisation of welfare and the effective provision of social services, especially in tackling those social issues where the state...

Founded on Quality and Convenience
Have you ever tried to order diabetes testing supplies through your insurance and had the process take weeks or months? Have you ever had to pay high co-payments or deductibles? Has your insurance forced you to jump through hoops or refused to pay for as many test strips as you need or want?
At Diathrive we have a new vision of healthcare. Healthcare today is a confusing hassle. When you order from Diathrive you'll encounter a totally different experience. You'll get top quality products, transparent pricing, convenient delivery direct to your door and world class customer service. Our subscription model means you can "set it and forget it" and get supplies every three months or pause your subscription and you won't be billed or shipped any product until you say so. With Diathrive you always know what you're getting and how much it costs. When was the last time your health insurance company or healthcare provider told you that?
The FDA ensures all meters meet the same accuracy standard. Our accuracy study proved that our meter ranks among the most accurate in the world.
Give us a try today and find out what many doctors, healthcare professionals, diabetes educators and thousands of other people across the country already know: Diathrive doesn't just conveniently deliver hospital quality diabetes testing supplies at affordable, transparent prices. We deliver peace of mind and confidence that you're getting the best, most convenient deal every time. Trust us. There's a 100% money back guarantee so you have nothing to lose.

The health care system is broken and it's only getting worse. Big pharma brands and insurance companies have taken control of the industry and have set the prices so that they make massive profits.
At Diathrive, we have a different approach. We don't work with insurance companies. Instead, we work directly with you. This allows us to have transparent pricing. That often times, is 80% to 90% less expensive than working through insurance.
You shouldn't have to choose between controlling your diabetes and your wallet. Diathrive makes diabetes management affordable and truly delivers confidence.

Slice the potatoes and onions; add them to the meat liquor, with the butter and pepper and salt to taste, and boil gently for one hour.
Then rub the soup through a wire sieve.
Put it into the saucepan again, and, when boiling, shake into it the semolina and cook for fifteen minutes, stirring occasionally.
When the semolina is cooked the soup is ready.
If this soup is used for children, water may be substituted for the meat liquor if the latter is not available.

Municipal Waste – The Fatal Feast
April 10th marks the return of Richmond, Virginia's metal masters, Municipal Waste with their fifth album, "The Fatal Feast."
As usual, when I listen to Municipal Waste I think I am listening to an exceptionally tasty Nuclear Assault album. Tony Foresta does an excellent job of channeling (and improving upon) the vocal stylings of John Connelly. No disrespect to John, I love the NA catalog, but something about Tony gels with the music better for me. I have always loved Municipal Waste because they sound like all the best things about late 80s thrash. I am glad they are still chugging along strong.
The early Municipal Waste albums seemed heavily focused on partying (and the sometimes hilarious consequences) and gore. They tend to focus more on the latter than the former these days, but "The Fatal Feast" still offers a few songs for those that partake. See tunes like "Covered in Sick – The Barfer", "You're Cut Off" and "12 Step Program."
For the uninitiated, let me describe the Municipal Waste sound. The music tends to be speedy thrash metal with punk-crossover flavorings. The sound is stripped down to bare-essentials which makes them fast and tight. The vocals, if you did not already guess by the Nuclear Assault comparison, tend to be an edgy barked scream reminiscent of early crossover bands. D.R.I. would be another reasonable comparison. The production is strong and clear and beyond reproach.
It should come as no surprise that I heavily endorse "The Fatal Feast." Before there was a real thrash revival these guys were tearing it up old school and they, along with Warbringer, still lead the pack. Check out the video below for the title track and get ready to bang your head…in space!
