Beyond the Grassy Knoll Interview

SW being aimed at those who are already "awake" (a term I loathe) is what makes SW so enjoyable. I believe you've undertaken an honorable task and filled an important niche. I somewhat agree with you about respecting peoples' desire to remain ignorant and irresponsible. In your everyday encounters with these types of people, if the situation permits, I think you should at least try to plant a seed in hope that it germinates and sends them out seeking on their own. Beyond this there's nothing you can do for people blissful in their ignorance.

Hi Lance. In all seriousness could you clarify who you have in mind when you speak of the blissfully ignorant? Could you paint us a picture of the kind of people you mean? I am not trying to be combative here, and I am in fact trying to take as impersonal a stance as possible, but it seems to me that it is pejorative to say that someone is "blissfully ignorant" because that is a value judgement about them on our part when we say it (even when its not intended that way.) They may not be experiencing their ignorance as blissfull at all. Their ignorance may be one of anguish and despair. But that is the state they must bear until they are ready to receive new information. So I agree its important to try and plant seeds if it is appropriate to the situation, but I don't think it is correct to assume that ignorant people enjoy their state, or even that they don't know that they are ignorant (many people are perfectly aware that they are ignorant, they just don't know what to do about it.) As an example, and at the risk of being personal, many people where I live are so poor that they literally have to hunt for meat for their table...if they didn't get a couple of deer each year, their children would go hungry. How much energy do they have at the end of the day to worry about the Sorcerez, even though they would be some of the people to benefit most if we could get the Sorcererz off our backs? So I guess what I am saying is that people can only start from where they are given their circumstances and a person may have very important reasons of their own, that we can know nothing about, for being where they are (psychically speaking.) Looking at a person from the outside, it is impossible to tell why they have chosen to be in the state that they are in. Maybe their psyche NEEDS to experience whatever it is they are experiencing, even clinical paranoid schizophrenia. Such a person would deserve our kindness and protection (something in our current world they are not likely to get.) On the other hand, if someone truely is BLISSFUL in their ignorance, then that is the way they get to be, no matter how frustrating that may be for us. It is not for us to judge them. Who are we to disturb their tranquility?
To aeolus: on the subject of integrating parts the various parts of our psyches, are there not also portions of our psyches that need to be dis-integrated and ejected before we can truely be ourselves? The reason I ask is that this seems to me a very important subject that largely goes undiscussed. "Everyone" goes on and on about integration, but it seems to me that some aspects of our psyches (and which aspects they are depend entirely upon the person) deserve no more integration than they already have (I am thinking, for instance, of the submissive, "good girl" attitude that is hammered into women) and are in fact toxic and parasitical.

What may be perceived as education to one may be interpreted as prosthelatization to another. Aeolus has red pills, but he's not forcing them down anyone's throat. I know plenty of people blissful in their ignorance, I call them the "I don't want to know what's in my hot dog people", because my mother actually put her fingers in her ears and started chanting "I don't want to know what's in my hot dog!" when I attempted to inform her about it once. It has as much to do with socio-economics as one chooses to project upon it, or any topic for that matter. How many flavors of ignorance are there in the world, who would like to list them all for me?
It really struck a chord with me when Aeolus said, "I'm having a lot of ambivalence myself as a researcher of conspiracy as to how much I want to propagate these ideas which are actually being fed to me by the very powers that I'm ostensible exposing". I was thinking about this very thing last week as I was having lunch, and I bit my tongue so badly that I initially thought I had bit down on some sort of foreign object in my food. My mouth filled with blood gushing from the large hole I had put in my tongue. That was a week ago today, and my tongue is still healing. I've been contemplating the symbolism of the incident. J Man said it wasn't what you put in your mouth that makes one unclean, but what comes out. What do I really know about the affairs of men? I speak of things I do not know. My knowledge base is largely vicarious. I fool myself into believing that the clever lies found in books are better than the stupid lies found on television. The more I learn, the more I realized that I don't know what the fuck is really going on. I've been feeling a new sense of empowerment by keeping my mouth shut and chewing slowly.
Talk to you soon AK.

There's certainly a fine line between proselytization and education. Proselytization I would never advocate and education only when someone asks for it.
What I was referring to in my post is something very sublime and subtle. I liken proselytization as throwing the curtain open and forcefully pushing someone through it, education as simply opening the curtain and revealing what's been hidden, and I see planting seeds as just barely brushing up against the curtain (almost accidentally) which reveals what's on the other side for only a split second. If the person is inherently a seeker (something I think Aeolus touched on in the latest podcast) this will be enough to ignite a small spark in them and if they'd rather remain ignorant then that's fine too, the choice is always up to them.
As of late I've been keeping my mouth shut also (mostly) and I find it strangely liberating. There is in fact a very practical and occult purpose behind the saying "the wise remain silent" and I will share it with everyone when I figure out how to put it clearly into words.

Hi Cary, good to see you in this place
seems like you made yourself a blood offering as a reminder that our words really do have power: the power even of life and death?
it's been said that while the average man can take back his words but never his actions, the reverse is true for sorcerers: they can undo/rewrite their actions, but never their words
is this to do with language, Logos, pertaining to primary reality, and actions only to secondary, like shadows or side effects? To how the Magus speaks (sings) reality into being?
If so then "actions speak louder than words" would be true only in the human realm; becoz for sorcerers, words ARE actions.
No wonder we bite our tongue from time to time: to remind ourselves that, one way or another, our words always cause casualties.
Judgment invariably leads to sentence. Beliefs are constantly being "executed" - along with those blissful ignorant - in and by our divisive minds as a means to reform the kingdom of the psyche.
i have found of late that saying "I don't have a clue what i am talking about" is strangely empowering, as well as liberating.
Face it, we don't.
Best policy is to ask as many questions as possible and give as few answers. 'Course this isn't necessarily what I do running a podcast! : /
lots of intriguing points and questions being raised here, & I will try to get to them sooner or later, one way or another
to AG: yes, I think all unintegrated parts must either be integrated or DIS-integrated - but I wonder if even the latter don't need to integrated first, before being diss-ed?
- 12:34 pm, December 18, 2008
- Lance said...
I should add that I have no clue what I've been talking about in this thread. What I perceive as subtly planting a seed may be perceived by another as proselytization. Once again it all comes down to perception. Cheers all!
- 3:17 pm, December 18, 2008
Hi Cary. The situation was the same for me and my parents. I really wanted to clue them in to what is underneath our concensus reality because 1) I care for them very much 2) because I found it so exciting and wanted to share my excitment with them, but they just didn't want to know. More than merely blissful, their ignorance is willfull, but they seem to regard this as some sort of civic duty and seem to feel that they are doing the right thing by keeping themselves in the dark. It finally came down to one choice...did I want a relationship with them or not? I decided that I did, and so stopped trying to "educate" them. The responsibility for their decision is theirs, not mine, and so I don't worry about it any more. I have come to feel the same way about all other people too. Their awakening is not my responsiblity, although I am more than happy to talk to them about these things if they ask.
p.s. Perhaps we are too schooled in the ideal of democracy?
To AK: Perhaps. But these foreign bits feel like splinters in my psyche, like they were never mine and never belonged there. It always feels like what I actually integrate is the knowlege that these are foreign introjects and not the introject itself. Once I do that, I can decide if I want to leave them there or not, but I have to realize they are foreign first. Not saying that the way for everyone or whether thats the best way to go about it, but it seems to have helped me. And apologies if I've been too personal.
- 5:36 pm, December 18, 2008
"Judgment invariably leads to sentence." The dual connotation of the word 'sentence' seems numinous, and I have never thought about it before. Sentences, the execution of beliefs, words made flesh.
I have the right to remain silent, anything I say can and will be used against me.

You say, 'already awake', pleeasze
If you say you loathe it, I say go with that tip and stop thinking you are 'awake'.
By the by, I enjoyed your bit on the Hormones post, but auroragirl is right, you way overvalue your intellectualized treatment of the categories. As a generality this culture does quite well at locking our natural imagination into rigid conceptual boxes. Then the people with 'forced' intellect take over, (torturing the categories until there is no meaning left).
Also, having awareness does not mean you are awake, it only means you are able to handle a bit more cognitive dissonance. What you do to resolve that dissonance determines awareness.

I never said that I myself am "awake" or referred to myself in that way. I said the show is generally aimed in that direction, and that I enjoy it for that reason. The word in question is a very subjective term which in turn makes my post subjective, so I don't fault you for misinterpreting my intent in meaning.

Hey, what's up?
- 12:27 am, December 19, 2008
To Lance: It is natural for someone to assume you include yourself if the catagory of "awake" since you enjoy the show. That was my reading of your post, too.
To Sounder: Thankyou, I'm glad you understood what I meant. There is a wonderful book called "Emotional Genius" by a woman named Karla McLaren that basically says that the emotions are not some black sheep of the family, or second on some hierarchical scale the way Lance had listed. For instance, from page 194: ANGER: The Honorable Sentry...includes rage, fury, and the masking state of apathy...Gifts: Honor--Proper Bounderies--Healthy detatchment--Conviction--Protection (of self and other.) Anyway, that may give you some idea of the contents and format the book. The emotions are basically forms of conciousness all their own that are absolutley necessary; not only for survival but for navigating life every single day, (I think that the anti-anger dogma of the "New Age-ers" is extremely pernicious) and no one has the right to pass value judgements and say that someone is being "too" emotional. All anyone can say is "YOU are being too emotional for MY TASTE" (which is a perfectly legitimate attitude, by the way...then the negotiations begin.) I also think that the tendency for people to see the intellectual as somehow "higher" than the emotional is part of the masculine bias that is so unconcious and taken for granted in many people (including women).

it's true very few ignorant folk are blissfully so - but it's just a figure of speech! Underlining the undeniable fact that ignorance is a way to avoid unpleasant truths, and the discomfort that they cause us.
AG: the foreign installations or splinters that come from outside (castaneda's flyers?) still have to be integrated once they are inside us. I think the point is that all foreign elements will automatically DIS-integrate as a result of being integrated. Since they aren't intrinsic components of our totality but rather invasive or elements, they are like bacteria which the body assimilates in order to destroy.
Lance et al: Like anything else, "awake" is a relative term. On a moving scale between total catatonia, heightened awareness, and full lucidity, where are we - today?
I think it's safe to say only a small % of the population can "grok" the things we are discussing here, and that this is due to their being (by choice, tho not conscious choice) LESS AWAKE than we are. There needn't be any assumption of value judgment in this statement. Who's to say being asleep is less "real" than being awake? But it IS crucial to allow for a difference.
Ditto between "us" and the "ignorant masses" - provide we remember that we still have plenty in common with each other, regardless of our level of attention.
- 3:42 pm, December 19, 2008
"awake" means different things to different people so there's really no point in arguing about it, and i think we all know what the original poster meant anyways.
do you consider yourself "awake" sounder? i hope not because the energy you put into that personal attack went straight into the imaginal mouth of an inorganic being.
most of you are taking yourselves way to seriously, enjoy life and worry less about other people and pay more attention to yourselves.
actually, lance has been the only regular poster i've observed looking inwards (other than the blog owner aeolus and occasionally aurora).
i've listened to two stormy weather episodes and so far i'm enjoying it.
- 4:25 pm, December 19, 2008
And I think that everyone who tells someone they are taking themselves too seriously is guilty of taking themselves too seriously!
- 5:49 am, December 20, 2008
p.s. That was really a remark that belongs to the subject matter on a different discussion, but it will serve for this one, too.
To Kim: I am one of those who think that looking inward needs to be balanced by looking outward. The way I see it, what good is all this looking inward if I don't do something with it. I don't see looking inward as any kind of goal in itself. To me, the reason to look inward is to bring the treasures found back out, into relationship with people and with life. And finally, maybe the more extroverted amoung us need to project sometimes and see the results before we can integrate the unconcious. In other words, maybe "getting personal" is necessary for some people once in a while. That's why they invented the words "I'm sorry".

Thanks for your comment Kim, as I certainly do not want to feed the inorganic beings. (Not said facetiously)
This is an effort to clear up definitions. I consider that while everybody is aware to one degree or another, one is not be 'awake' unless one can connect the internal recognition with a set of correspondences that unites the inner and the outer. As I consider that the creation of this new set of correspondences or criterion for understanding is a social project, no I do not consider myself to be 'awake'. I do however 'project' the future criterion for understanding, that I dream as providing a picture of reality that will provide the basis for healthy expressions within society, into my own ontological speculations. On that count alone, I am doing something that not many aware folk seem willing to attempt.
Kim, it's a pickle because we all miss contextual elements as we jump on this or that thing and then miss all the other things. I did say that I liked Lances post, and would love to get into the details involved. But, and here is that pickle again, because intelligence is measured in this culture, by how well one orders the categories in terms of the current psychical conditioning system, the educated or 'forced' intelligence folk do not react well to a reordering of the categories. I have witnessed this at Rigorous Intuition for two years now. Lots of very smart folk, quite aware, but not very interested in becoming 'awake'.
I am here because of some top drawer posts provided by Aeolus at RI. Thanks Aeolus. If anybody is interested, a larger context for my ideas can be found in a thread titled; The Virus of Intellect or our Pompous Leaders, (should have been titled the Virus within Intellect). Please do comment.

Welcome to SW, Sounder. After reading through your blogs I'm looking forward to seeing what you have to say about some of the topics here and discussing them with you.
I don't think you have to worry about any educated or 'forced' intelligence people finding their way to SW. I think everyone here realizes categorization is simply a tool of communication, and obviously nothing truly fits in one category or another.

Interesting point in the Vyz show about David Bohm's implicate and explicate order as compared to the Imaginal realm & 'mundane' reality.
Alan Moore in his 'Miracleman' comic series used as a plot device a spoken word that was used to trigger a swapping of a character's superposition between two dimensions of differing 'attention', if you like.
Staying with comics, an episode in 'The Invisibles' by Grant Morrison had our heroes stopped in their tracks by the utterance of 'weaponized' words that were constructed from an expanded occult alphabet and were impossible for the uninitiated mind to process, causing unconsciousness.
How about a show dealing with language & the Logos, AK?

Tomorrow, Facebook will reveal to the press what it's been "building." What could it be? Zuck rarely invites us to his corporate home, so it must be special—and here are our best guesses.
The invitation itself is light on clues—Zuck & Co. need to take some pointers from the Cupertino Crew—so trying to decipher it like Apple invite-style hieroglyphics probably won't yield much. But the claim that Facebook has been building something suggests this is more than just another feature update or app refresh—in all likelihood, it's an entirely new thing. At least we hope. Or I am on a plane to San Francisco for nothing.
So what might Facebook be building? A hovercraft? New emoticons? Or maybe this stuff:
Facebook Search
Mark Zuckerberg wants Facebook to be the Internet, not just a big part of it. And you sure as hell can't conquer the web without search, an area where Facebook happens to be pretty deficient right now. Trying to search for anything other than your friends is a chore, frustrating to the point of trivial. But think of the potential: searching for music that's annotated with the music picks of your friends. Looking up local sushi for a business lunch with results that incorporate your coworkers' reviews. And so forth. Google's tried "social search," and it's ended up pretty terribly, because nobody uses its social network. But everyone you care about is already plugged (and deeply invested) into Facebook.
And it doesn't even have to be better than Google. If Facebook can offer us a pretty good way to search the web without leaving our social HQ, a lot of us will use it just because it's there and it's convenient. After all, Facebook Chat helped murder AIM, and Facebook Chat is garbage.
A Facebook Phone (For real, this time, seriously guys)
The Facebook phone is one of tech's great white whales, but Zuck might just be crazy enough to try it in 2013. He gave a half-denial back in September, saying it "didn't make sense," but what didn't make sense in September might make sense in January. Or maybe it's still a bad idea, and they're going to give it a go anyway. Or maybe he was lying. Sometimes execs do that.
But what would a Facebook Phone mean? Most likely, the company would go the Kindle Fire route and make a version of Android that barely looks or feels anything like Android for someone else's hardware, centered around Facebook features—your friends are your default address book, Instagram is your camera app, FB Chat is your default IM client, FB messages are your default email service, and so on. Although this would mean Facebook staking its mobile future on a competitor's technology, so maybe Zuck will pull a heroic move and pull WebOS out of its cold grave. The beloved-and-abandoned software is open source now, and ripe for the revamping—maybe Facebook can spin it into something people will actually, you know, buy. The underlying tech is certainly there, and solid. But does anyone really need this? Or even want it? The Facebook app across all platforms does it job pretty damn well, to the point of making a phone based entirely around it questionable. Why buy something new when your current thing already does it well?
Still, it's by no means out of the question—Facebook is under invisible pressures to sell us a phone just like Apple was under invisible pressures to sell us an iPad. Money makes companies do things, not ideals. And hell, if Android users are willing to go all in with Google services, there's no reason to think Facebook's zealots couldn't be persuaded to do the exact same thing.
Super Chat
Facebook and Skype teamed up two years ago, and then... nothing interesting happened. Sure, FB does rudimentary video chats that never work very well, but the whole thing is pretty meager, given how powerful (and popular) Skype is around the world.
So it's only natural that Facebook would go further with both voice and video, turning your browser into a telecom hub that skirts your phone entirely. Imagine this: Google Hangout-style group videochats (probably the only enjoyable part of Plus) plus free VOIP calls to landlines and cell phones (already teased with FB's latest app update). This wouldn't just be a boon for Facebook's one billion users, it'd be a big blow to Facebook's competitors. Like search, a video and voice superchat would be something that draws us away from things that aren't Facebook, and into the blue and white maw—and hey, now you're looking at more Facebook ads.
New News Feed
The way we learn what all of our friends and exes are doing with their lives has looked more or less the same since 2006. But Facebook has become massively more complicated over the past half-decade, and the misalignment shows: your feed is getting pretty awkward to navigate. You've got friends, close friends, acquaintances, recent posts, tweets, "top stories," photos, videos, Spotify playlists, statuses, wall-to-walls, and a scattershot of other life fragments. There's no easy way to sort it, and there are plenty of easy ways to get lost in it. And just wait until everything everyone watches on Netflix gets dumped into the mix.
In the era of linked accounts and 2,000 friend online social groups, Facebook needs to build a simplified, streamlined way of seeing what the people you care about are doing, and just piling on new features to the same stream we've had since the Bush Administration is only making things worse. The brain can only comprehend so much. A news feed that's as radically redesigned as Timeline was for the profile will curb the sensory overload, and maybe actually give you insight into your buddies once more.
So, maybe they'll do that. Maybe they won't. We don't know.
But we will know exactly what Facebook is building tomorrow, when we post live from Zuckerberg's lair at 1 PM Eastern Time. Maybe I'll give you a call from my Facebook phone.

The Moon is the natural satellite orbiting the Earth. At an average distance of 384,403 kilometers (or nearly a quarter million miles) from the Earth, the moon serves as a source of illumination at night, but only through reflected light from the Sun.
With its tendency to light up the night sky, and its ability to eclipse the sun, the Moon has long held a fascination for humankind. However, while some might like to visit for one afternoon, outside of professional astronauts, some have stated that they don't think they'd like to live there. Notable space exploration agencies include NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and its counterpart WASA, the Worm Aeronautics and Space Administration.
In 1969, NASA launched the Apollo 11 mission, which became the first such mission to successfully land Earth's inhabitants. Commander Neil Armstrong became the first man on the moon, and lunar module pilot Buzz Aldrin became the second. Aldrin's experience gave him great insight into the moon's geological structure; in Sesame Street Episode 4090, he shares that expertise with Cookie Monster, assuring him that the moon is made of rock and is not, in fact, a cookie. Not to be outdone by Aldrin and the human race, in 1997, WASA sent Slimey the Worm on a space mission, making him the first worm on the moon.
The Moon as a character
The moon, due to its round shape and topographical craters which at times resemble facial features, has often prompted anthropomorphic representations, such as The Man in the Moon and the moon in "Elmo's World: Sky." It is believed that the one true moon is in fact Luna, good friend to Bear on Bear in the Big Blue House. The moon, in its crescent phase, resembles a letter C. It is not, however, a cookie.
Characters who have been to the Moon
The Moon as seen from Earth
References to the Moon
- The first Grouch landed on the moon as reported in Oscar's 1978 newspaper in A Special Sesame Street Christmas.
- The Starship Surprise visits the Moon in a Sesame Street sketch.
- Awake in his bed at night, Grover imagines that he's on the moon.
- John Crichton calls his father on a cell phone from the moon in the Farscape episode "Bad Timing".
- Floyd Pepper believes that the Earth revolves around the moon (which causes Winter) in The Muppets episode "The Ex-Factor."

Perhaps Eliot Cutler should consider running for the United States Senate instead of the Governorship next year. After all, as he proved on WGAN on Thursday, he's very good at filibustering.
When asked a simple question by host Ken Altshuler, "What's your view on raising the minimum wage to 9 dollars an hour?" Cutler launched into a three-minute, 400-word soliloquy indicting both parties for their partisanship and lack of focus.
Finally, host Mike Violette asked "So is that a no on minimum wage raising?"
To which Cutler replied "You know Mike, I honestly don't know."
The Press Herald the next day reported that Cutler (like Governor LePage and unlike his potential Democratic gubernatorial rivals) opposes a minimum wage increase, but even in that article Cutler tried to have it both ways. He said he would support an increase if it were part of some undefined package of reforms and that his goal would be to make the wage debate "irrelevant and immaterial."
I am baffled by Cutler's tap dancing. You shouldn't be able to come this far in politics, losing one election for our state's highest office by only a few thousand votes and now ramping up for another run, without having a real position on something as elemental as the minimum wage.
Either you believe that it's absurd that the minimum wage hasn't kept pace with basic necessities even as productivity and corporate profits have increased and you understand the scientific evidence showing that such a policy would have a positive general economic impact (Saturday's Press Herald editorial on the subject lays out this case well), or you subscribe to a more libertarian viewpoint that government shouldn't be making these kinds of decisions, that businesses should have the freedom to pay their workers what they want and that the market will sort things out and reward those who are deserving.
Maine's Governorship is not an imperial office. You don't get to proclaim your perfect, utopian vision for the state and then make everyone else in government swear fealty to it. A governor uses the power, resources and opportunities he or she has to make incremental steps forward in the direction they think is best. It's important, therefore, for them to have a guiding philosophy and a real vision for where they want to go. If they have that, taking a position on something as basic as a minimum wage increase should be simple.
If the gubernatorial campaign does end up featuring Cutler and Congressman Mike Michaud competing for the same pool of moderate and left-leaning voters, it will be interesting to see how this kind of issue affects the race. It could help to define a class divide between the two candidates and make that part of the election less about left vs. right and more about the Congressman and former fork-lift driver vs. the millionaire former corporate lawyer.
The Maine House voted 86-58 last week along party lines to raise the minimum wage to $9 an hour by 2016 and index it to CPI. The Senate will take up the measure this week. If they pass it, the bill will head to Governor LePage's desk. If he realizes it's there, it will almost certainly be vetoed.

The Mayans may be right. The world may be coming to an end in a few short days.
Maybe, on December 21, everything will cease to exist. Or transform into a whole new realm of matter. Or the world might just change into myriad rainbow colors, and we'll all ride around in a yellow submarine…no, never mind, that's a different apocalypse, isn't it.
But maybe the world is coming to an end. There's no other way to explain why Kirkus Reviews decided to take a look at Mecha Rogue, my latest novel under the Brett Patton pseudonym.
Yes, you read that right. Kirkus. Giant robots. Review.
And there's no other way to explain why, well, the guys are Kirkus seemed to, well, kinda like the book:
In style and violence, a hybrid of the movies Transformers and Independence Day: the sequel to Mecha Corps (2011)…
Slam-bang action with never a dull moment: imagine a 21st century Lensman series, if anybody still remembers E.E. "Doc" Smith, without the latter's lofty black-and-white moral tone and awful prose.
Yes, that's right. Mecha Rogue is a New and Notable book on Kirkus Reviews. Check it out!
What's more, Kirkus decided to talk with me a bit about the Mecha Rogue universe, my writing, and general SF stuffs. You can check out the interview here.
Aaaand…you all know what you gotta do.

Today, AMD has announced its next-generation of APUs (Accelerated Processing Unit) for users who need more computing power.
AMD offers the new A-series of APUs in two dual-core and five quad-core flavors. The clock speed of these APUs start from 1.9GHz and go all the up to 2.5GHz, under Turbo mode. The Turbo mode kicks in automatically under conditions of heavy load.
The AMD A-Series APU represents an inflection point for AMD and is perhaps the industry's biggest architectural change since the invention of the microprocessor,said Rick Bergman, senior vice president and general manager, AMD Products Group. It heralds the arrival of brilliant all-new computing experiences, and enables unprecedented graphics and video performance in notebooks and PCs. Beginning today we are bringing discrete-class graphics to the mainstream.
The A4 range of APUs come with a Radeon HD 6250G clocked at 400Mhz, while the A6 range of chips pack in a Radeon 6250G clocked at 400Mhz. The top rung A8 range of APUs comes with a Radeon HD 6620G, running at 444MHz.
The Radeon chips inside the A series APU are DirectX 11 compatible, and even support standards like HDMI 1.4a, Display Port 1.1 and USB 3.0 and multi-monitor support.
AMD also claims that an A-series APU powered notebook will provide users with a staggering battery life of 10.5 hours. HP has already announced 11 new laptops powered by these new APUs from AMD, scheduled to be launched sometime in June-end, early July.

Industry Updates
Material uses mineral-enhanced, hydrophobic smart fibers
Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 19 June, 2014 - Xcel announces its upcoming launch of TDC Thermo Dry Celliant®, the first and only clinically proven, smart fiber wetsuit lining set to make its market debut for Fall 2014. An Xcel exclusive, TDC is a responsive textile that actively works with the wearer. Its mineral-enhanced, naturally-hydrophobic smart fibers recycle body heat into infrared energy for a full range of benefits that include greater warmth, increased endurance, faster recovery, and enhanced overall athletic performance.
"TDC is the warmest wetsuit lining ever in over thirty years of Xcel product development," says Lance Varon, Xcel Design Director. "From the moment you put it on, TDC transforms your body into a renewable source of warmth, while improving your ability to achieve peak performance."
Celliant's effectiveness, tested rigorously in and out of the water by Xcel's athletes and R&D teams, has also been demonstrated in numerous independent clinical studies and third-party clinical trials.
"The results of TDC's extensive testing far exceeded our expectations, and have redefined what Xcel can achieve in terms of wetsuit warmth and performance," continues Varon. "Comparing TDC to other materials, we could literally see and measure the significant increase in warmth. We're excited to partner with Celliant and to be bringing this groundbreaking technology – and its real-world benefits – to market."
"TDC is an exciting alliance of Xcel's wetsuit expertise and Celliant's proven science," says David Horinek, Celliant inventor. "The infrared energy delivered by TDC improves circulation and increases tissue oxygen levels, which in turn increase warmth, fend off fatigue, improve stamina, and quicken recovery times in everyone from non-athletes to professionals alike."
Continues Horinek, "The cold air and/or water conditions that necessitate a wetsuit are the same conditions in which you'll benefit from improved circulation and greater tissue oxygen. So for surfers, this means quick and easy access to these performance benefits, simply by putting on their wetsuit."
TDC's smart fiber technology is driven by Celliant's patented, proprietary mineral blend and unique manufacturing process. Naturally occurring and thermo-reactive, the minerals are embedded into staple fibers, which are then spun into Celliant yarn to create the final TDC smart fiber lining.
"What's also unique about TDC is that, since the Celliant mineral blend is embedded at the fiber level, TDC technology will never wear off or wash out, so its benefits last for the lifetime of the wetsuit," adds Varon.
TDC will be available exclusively in Xcel's Fall 2014 Drylock, Revolt, and Infiniti fullsuit series; and in Xcel's full line of Fall 2014 Drylock accessories.
"I couldn't believe how warm I was during my first surf in the new Drylock with TDC," says Xcel team athlete Mike Gleason. "Hands down, it's the warmest suit I've ever worn. Plus, after a few very long, very cold East Coast winter sessions, it was amazing to realize how consistently strong and comfortable I felt. It really made a world of difference."
In addition to enhancing warmth and overall performance, TDC is a lightweight, all-way stretch material, with an exceptionally quick drying time and water repellent properties.
"Because TDC is so versatile, we now have the potential to develop products that use less foam and are even more lightweight, while still delivering unparalleled warmth and built-in hydrophobic properties," adds Lance Varon. "It's a truly revolutionary breakthrough with exciting future applications."
"Xcel has been a product driven brand since we hand-made our first wetsuit in 1982," continues Varon. "TDC represents a huge leap forward in our continued commitment to designing wetsuits as complete systems that use proven technologies to deliver real-world benefits."

AN up-and-coming magician wowed some of the country's top illusionists to take the Young Magician of the Year title.
Ben Proos, 16, from Brockhall Village, Ribble Valley, stole the show at the Magic Circle's hotly fought contest to take the coveted award.
His fast moving act saw him make cards appear from thin air, billiard balls multiply and he also performed an 'amazing' routine with sunglasses that appeared and vanished in a flash.
And Ben, who attends Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School in Blackburn, pulled a final trick out of the bag when he remembered the final part of his act - a trick using three metal link rings- that he had left in the dressing room before the heats.
Ben, who specialises in close up magic and aspires to become like his hero American magician Jeff McBride, will keep the award for the next two years.
Past winners include master Illusionist Russ Stevens, Johnny Hart who has a successful career in America, and Michael Jordan.
Ben, who hopes to perform in Las Vegas, has been learning magic tricks for two and a half years and has been perfecting his winning route for a year by practicing on a daily basis.
He said "I'm speechless. I was surprised because I had left my metallic link rings in the dressing room when I performed during the heats but I must of had that little bit extra for the final."
"It was the most amazing, overwhelming and terrifying experiences of my life but also one of the most rewarding.
"I'm deeply honoured to win this prestigious award competing against some truly formidable competition."
The Magic Circle president Jack Delvin said "Ben has magically manipulated his way to the title Young Magician of the Year 2011 and a great career awaits."

UPDATE: On February 7, 2014, President Obama signed the Farm Bill. The bill includes a provision making it a federal crime to attend or bring a child under the age of 16 to an animal fighting event, based on the Animal Fighting Spectator Prohibition Act, which will fortify the federal law against organized and barbaric dogfighting and cockfighting rings. Spectator admission fees and high-stakes gambling dollars finance this criminal industry and without spectators, it will be more difficult for dogfighting and cockfighting rings to make a profit. Read our press release here»
The Farm Bill also jettisoned the dangerous and overreaching "King amendment," which sought to nullify state laws setting standards for agricultural production and threatened so many laws on animal welfare around the country.
Defeating the King amendment and enacting the animal fighting spectator legislation were top priorities for The HSUS. Thank you for helping us achieve these two important victories.

I like it when I can report something improving, as opposed to just making notes about things that don't work.
And even better this time, it's a rather cranky piece of hardware that I wanted very badly to be able to use about six months ago, but was having next to no luck — the sassy Corega wireless card that was spewing forth "noise floor calibration errors" at every turn.
I never really did find out what the error was, or if it was something I was doing, but I can say that since I moved up with kernels — I'm running 126.96.36.199 at the moment — the errors and dropped connections and spooling messages have all disappeared without sending a postcard.
And good riddance. "Annoying" would be an understatement, given that I couldn't figure out what to do to shut it up. I do remember tracking down a developer's note about those messages, that they were somehow enabled or triggered at the code level and ought to be turned off. But I did nothing (that I am aware of) other than install newer kernels, and I haven't seen a complaint from it in the week I've been testing it, so probably somebody else, somewhere on the planet, commented out the code that was making it chatter at me.
Yes, I plugged it in sometime a week ago, when I wanted to use the WPC11 card as a crutch for installing the Broadcom-based wireless in the 600m. So basically, sometime while I was playing musical chairs with my spare networking connections, the Atheros 5K-based card suddenly started behaving itself.
And since it sat quiet and polite for a week without giving me any issue, I'm content to call it "improved." Of course, now that I've typed those words, it will probably start hiccupping again. That's how these things work, you know. 🙄

Can You See What I See?: Toyland Express: Picture Puzzles to Search and Solve by Walter Wick. Scholastic / Cartwheel Books (October 2011); ISBN 9780545244831; 40 pages
Book Source: Review copy provided by publisher
Wick is a genius at creating and capturing incredible, imaginative scenes -- so many fabulous trinkets and toys are all captured in his photographs. The beauty of a Walter Wick search and find puzzle book lies in the dizzying variety of objects and the impressive sets. What my kids wouldn't give to live in his studio and play with all those elaborate sets!
Like Wick's other books, Toyland Express is full of all sorts of delightful finds. Besides the Toyland Express train, readers get a chance to search for more than 250 hidden objects in this fun, photographic adventure that portrays the life of a little blue toy train. The train is created and painted in a workshop. Then it goes from store window display on to become a beloved birthday gift. Later, forgotten in the attic, it finally ends up in a yard sale and finds another loving home. The toy train storyline unites all the photographs in the book and gives the book an interesting fictional depth.
Toyland Express is the first Can You See What I See? series book my family has read though we've read many of Wick's I Spy books together. We really enjoyed watching the story of a toy train unfold in the photographs. We also learned about a new-to-us Wick character, a "bead boy" named Seymour! Seymour is a cute character that Wick hides in all the Can You See What I See? books. (Here's a little fun tidbit: Seymour is *gasp* "naked" (devoid of paint) in parts of the Toyland Express book!)
So where did Wick get the fabulous wooden train in the book? According to the endnotes, he designed the train himself and his workshop team created the models. For those kids with interlocking wooden train sets of their own, the layouts in the book provide a ton of track layout inspiration. We wish we had a set of Tinkertoys so we could try creating our own Tinkertoy train bridge like the one shown on the Mountain Pass page. The Toyland page (shown in the photograph to the right) depicts a really neat city layout using blocks and cardboard box buildings. See the word "Toyland" under the tracks spelled out with alphabet blocks? Amazingly creative!
My son and I couldn't resist creating our own wooden train toyland. Here's our version, inspired by the book:
By the way, the book would make a perfect gift companion to a train set. Snatch up your own hardcover copy right away -- it's selling for an unbeatable price of only $6.99 (MSRP $13.99) at Amazon.com.

Earlier today, I sauntered into a Sephora and found the exact right shade of red that made me look like Rose McGowan's fat, hip grandma*. It's a good look, but one that required me to try on about fifty shades of red before I landed on a color that didn't make me look like Ronald McDonald's fatter, less hip cousin. The luxury of sauntering up to a makeup counter is one of the reasons living in the sprawling shitbox of an American metropolis is all worth it. However, in Kenya, finding decent quality makeup —that doesn't come from evil empires like Unilever, Procter & Gamble, and L'Oréal — is not as easy as strolling into Sephora.
Luckily, Suzie Wokabi is looking to change all that. After moving back to her native Kenya in 2007, she noticed that there wasn't tons of high caliber makeup available, and the stuff that did exist was super expensive and in short supply. Wokabi thought this was bullshit (cause it is), raised 16 million Kenyan shillings (about $187,000), and started her own cosmetics company, SuzieBeauty.
Wokabi said her research showed that SuzieBeauty products were the only Kenyan-designed cosmetics on the market. "SuzieBeauty is for the African woman," she said. "It's the first Kenyan cosmetics line, and I've created it for us. For the first time, we have something that belongs to us."
The colors used by international brands are not always good for African women, she said. Also, "the humidity levels, the climate, the sun, the African sun, it changes something. I've had to take all of that into consideration."
Cool! Or, uh, hot, as it were.
The beauty industry in the Middle East and Africa, estimated at about $20.4 billion in 2011, isn't a huge slice of the International beauty pie — comparatively, the Asian market was estimated at $114 billion in 2011 — but "Africa is the next frontier for global luxury goods brands, said Fflur Roberts, Euromonitor's global head of luxury goods, noting that the continent is projected to have double-digit economic growth by the end of the next decade."
Another emerging African beauty brand, Africology, is finding success with its the organic, hippie vibe. So much so, that it's even started to be carried in high-end and resorts all over Africa. They plan a debut in the United States next year.
Although it seems like investments might take awhile to pan out, as Africa XX, Wokabi is far from worried. According to the New York Times, "[s]he conducted focus groups that showed the average Kenyan woman was willing to spend as much as 20 percent of her salary on beauty products."
Jeez, that's a lot. Is that how much Americans spend? The report, Beauty at any Cost, noted U.S. women spent some $7 billion a year, or an average of about $100 a month each, on cosmetics and beauty products. That's a lot, too, and I think it's probably more if you factor in stuff like salon visits and all that jazz. I'm of two minds. Part of me is upset at what feels like the gross spreading of Western beauty norms into other areas; when I was in Uganda in 2003, the main radio ads I heard were for weight loss pills and skin lightening creams, and that bummed me out.
But this is different, it's bringing good quality products that make people feel pretty, and looking good is part of feeling good! And when you feel good, you can conquer the whole damn world. Or at least feel like conquering the world is a possibility, right? And, as it stands, the imported makeup in Africa looks like it's either garbage or it's hella expensive and hard to find, so it's exciting that the market is opening up, especially with African women leading the way.
*Vincent Longo Lip Vinyl in Fellini Red is divine on red heads, and HEAVEN KNOWS NOT MUCH IS. Jkjk, being a ginger is the very best because hanging out with the devil is hella fun. The hottest parties, you guys. Seriously. So hot. I'll stop now.

A good jobs report? Sure, if one is 55 and over. In December the American jobs gerontocracy continued its relentless course, and as the two charts below summarize since Obama's first term, some 2.7 million jobs in the 16-55 year old category have been lost. The "offset": 4 million jobs for Americans between 55 and 69. For all those young people graduating from college (with $150,000 in student loans) who are unable to get a job, here is our advice: tell your parents, and grandparents, to retire already. Oh wait, they can't because Bernanke destroyed their savings. Oops - better luck next time.

With only two episodes left after tonight, it's nice to see American Horror Story: Asylum wrapping up the myriad plotlines in favor of bringing the major arcs to a satisfying conclusion. We've already said goodbye to a few of the main players but more and more characters just keep popping up. Also returning for this episode is my favorite stand-out director of the series, Alfonso Gomez-Rejon.
American Horror Story: Asylum stars Jessica Lange, Zachary Quinto, Evan Peters, Sarah Paulson and Lily Rabe, along with newcomers Adam Levine, Jenna Dewan-Tatum, James Cromwell, Joseph Fiennes, Chloe Sevigny, Lizzie Brochere and Clea Duvall. Hit the jump for the recap and review of tonight's episode,"Spilt Milk."
[You have entered spoiler territory. Turn back now or commit yourself to the insanity.]
Last week, we waved goodbye to the dearly departed Dr. Arden and the Devil-possessed Sister Mary Eunice. Cromwell and Rabe turned in some of the best performances this season, especially considering the lengths they were asked to go. But tonight's episode belongs to Paulson, whose arc is just about at an end. Before we get into the characters, I want to make a special mention of Gomez-Rejon again. From the outset of this episode, I knew that there was something pleasant and familiar about the way it was shot: the dramatic angles, the atmospheric use of lighting and shadow, the lens selection for certain sequences…it all pointed to Gomez-Rejon. Fans of the director will remember me calling out his aesthetic choices in a previous recap and I'm happy to see him back to work on this episode. As a side note, he'll also direct the season's last episode, "Madness Ends." Now onto the characters!
"Spilt Milk" had what is easily the most uncomfortable opening of the season so far, though the title is explained pretty quickly. We get a bit more backstory on Dylan McDermott's character Johnny Morgan here as he nurses on a prostitute with ample assets before going into a "Mommy issue" fueled rage. There's a great flashback/forward sequence that occurs between these two and Lana and Thredson, who have a stand-off in Thredson's apartment. The ties between Thredson, Lana, their baby and Johnny Morgan are being strengthened in each successive episode.
Let's wrap up Lana and Thredson while we're at it because the show has certainly tied up the majority of their storylines. After being rescued from Briarcliff thanks to the intervention of Jude (and some quick thinking by Kit), Lana turns in evidence against Thredson/Bloody Face but decides to break into his home and wait within until the police arrive (…okay). Obviously this doesn't end well…for Thredson, who now has a particularly bloody face of his own. However, his lineage lives on because Lana cannot allow herself to be surrounded by any more death (thus forgoing the abortion) and also cannot abandon the child, who is conveniently allergic to the infant formula at the hospital. Lana's only other purpose, after putting Wendy's ashes to rest (what an awful way for Duvall to make a guest appearance – a necrophilia scene, really?), was to attempt to liberate Jude from the nuthouse. Too bad that the Monsignor tells Lana and her court-appointed lawmen that Jude hung herself (lies!).
A quick note on Jude since she's only in this episode for a few blinks. It seems she's been able to shake off the electroshock effects long enough to come to her senses about the medication she's being forced to take. Lange turned in a great scene as she stands up to the Monsignor before she's hauled off to solitary. Jude is really the only major character left to get a chance to complete her arc, as the others are either done or nearing the finish line.
Speaking of finish lines, what a (mostly) happy episode for Kit and Grace! Sure, Kit was innocent all along and the evidence of Thredson as Bloody Face proved that, but baby Thomas was hauled off to the children's home and Grace was still in the asylum for being an ax murderer. Some quick thinking on Kit's part managed to get Thomas back while also getting himself and Grace out of Briarcliff; don't underestimate good old fashioned blackmail, kids! While the newly engaged Kit and Grace made their way to Kit's old home with the baby in tow, a big surprise awaited them. Well, technically two surprises, because Alma (who Kit had presumed dead due to Grace's story about her abduction) and their baby were seated comfortably in the dining room. If three's company and four's a crowd, what's five? It's either a Mormon household or an episode of Maury. Can't wait to see where this one ends up.
As for where this season is going to end up, I have some speculations. I think we all know more or less how Lana's baby and Johnny are going to be connected, though I'm less certain about the fates of Kit, Grace, Alma and even Jude. Even less certain is just what the creators of the show have in store for next season. You guys made some great guesses in the comments last week about what the theme and location of season three might bring: some thought perhaps the Vatican, others think we're headed to Congress (or at least Washington, D.C.) and still more think we'll be seeing some witches, possibly in Salem. The only thing that stood out to me in this particular episode was the song "Love Potion No. 9," which could lend itself to witchcraft. Although, others have reported that the clue is more of a visual one, so if that's the case, I missed it. Feel free to continue your speculations below!
Rating: 7/10 Bottles of Formula (I was going to go with "Triple Ds," but an odd number would just make that too weird…even for this show.)

It seems there could be a Publix Super Market in the works for Cotswold, directly across Randolph Road from a longstanding Harris Teeter.
A rezoning application filed for the 2.2 acre site between Randolph and Colwick roads seeks permission to build up to 65,000 square feet of retail space, constructed above a parking garage. The site (map below) is currently occupied by a nearly 50-year-old office building. The rezoning application was filed in conjunction with Stiles, a Florida-based developer building several new Publix locations in Charlotte.
A Stiles representative couldn't immediately be reached. Jeff Brown, a lawyer representing the developer, said that the site is intended primarily for a grocery store, but declined to name the tenant. Publix spokeswoman Kim Reynolds said she could not confirm the possible location. The Florida-based grocer has a policy of not commenting on potential sites until a lease is signed.
Publix and Stiles have joined to build supermarkets in Ballantyne, Mint Hill and South End. Stiles opened a Charlotte office last year, in part to help facilitate Publix's planned spread across North Carolina. The company has announced locations for 14 planned supermarkets in and around Charlotte.
The rezoning site is directly across from a Harris Teeter, one of Publix's main competitors as it tries to muscle into Charlotte. But Publix hasn't been shy about locating near Harris Teeter. Its McKee Farms location in Matthews is directly across from a Harris Teeter, for example.
The proposed retail establishment in the rezoning site plan looks as though it would be similar to the Whole Foods in the SouthPark area, which also has parking located under a supermarket accessible by escalator and elevator.
A public hearing on the rezoning request is scheduled for Dec. 15.

Near misses
Things have been utterly non-stop recently. I haven't seen the inside of my flat for more than about 5 minutes this week while not sleeping or trying to forget about the day's events and attempting to sleep. This isn't to say that anything has been bad, just very busy. I'm finishing up some work which has to be done really very soon and have written a couple of long posts about how I got to be where I am now (not in the Darwinian sense) and a little background to what I do, or maybe why I do it.
In the mean time I've been helping friends move house and running round the city saying goodbye to people leaving Beijing, teaching, attempting to start learning Spanish and continuing with the Chinese. Tomorrow I go out of town for a party, back on Sunday, take a friend to the airport and then straight back to work. September is looking to be very full with three couchsurfers staying at my place for a continuous period of 10 days. Also we have the string cosmology conference coming up all month at the KITPC, which I'm very much looking forward to. (first week's lectures here).
Today as I ran out of the office and caught a cab to get to my friend's house to help her move house my blood began to boil as the Beijing roads mingled with my already high pressure state.
I usually spend my time in a state of calm chaos, but just occasionally it boils over - in fact in the UK it very very rarely happens but the bloody stupidity on the roads in China just got my goat today. I love cycling and I know that I'm not a very safe cyclist. This has improved since I learnt to drive and realised how much I must terrify drivers as I speed around as fast as possible. Anyway, with however many million non-driving cyclists on the roads in Beijing combined with 3 million cars all of whom think that they have the right to get from A to B faster than everyone else, cutting up all who are in their way and slowing the roads down for all, the situation is often unbearably frustrating.
After several near misses (both my driver's fault and that of others) he got out of the car and had a fight with another road hog - a full on slamming each other against the bonnet fight, red-faced arm waving and general macho nonsense. I was either going to laugh or cry as I waited in the car for the frivolities to end so I laughed at them and they split up and got back in their respective cars.
So, we continued to weave our way through the ever-honking traffic and an hour later had deposited more clothes than you can possibly imagine to their temporary residence. The taxi driver left and I went back to the office.
As we reached the traffic lights I saw something which I so often see here in Beijing. A cyclist somehow forgetting that there are two sides to a road. She looked left, seeing that there was a gap in the traffic and pulled out to cross the road. However, she seemed hypnotised by the lack of traffic on the left, presumably thinking this to be a good enough omen. As she got to the middle of the road without appearing to slow down I looked in horror as the speeding oncoming car didn't notice her behind the central bollard. She pulled out, still looking left as the car slammed on its break, turning the wheel as it did so. The car screamed to a halt, in a haze of tyre smoke centimeters from the girl on the bike, who just sat there, looking puzzled at the car.
The police driving the police car, which had been the offending missile, shouted at her as she sat in the middle of the road, still looking unperturbed but a little angry at being shouted at.
The police car sped off and she stayed, sat in the middle of the road as other cars honked at her to move. Normally I would have put this down to shock, but Beijing cyclists get into these situations so damned often that she just seemed annoyed at the whole affair and couldn't be bothered to move.
I'm writing this having let myself calm down a little. My heart has left my throat and my pulse has dropped below 200.
ok, rant over - it just winds me up no end and sometimes I need to vent.

APD relying heavily on security cameras to combat crime
Official: APD can monitor more than 200 cameras
The first glimpse that the public saw of the suspected Boston bombers was all thanks to surveillance cameras in Boston.
In a city as heavily populated as Boston, surveillance cameras are everywhere. But what about in Albuquerque?
According to T.J. Wilham, the manager of Albuquerque Police Department's Real Time Crime Center, APD can monitor more than 200 cameras, scattered throughout the city.
"In light of the events in Boston, we're realizing the importance of video intelligence," said Wilham.
At the RTCC, the glow of TV screens is everywhere. From traffic cameras on Coors to surveillance video from a Blake's Lotaburger, APD is able to pull up various sources of surveillance video in real time.
According to Wilham, APD does not own any of the cameras. Private companies like Blake's Lotaburger team up with APD so that when a criminal strikes, officers can identify the suspect as the crime is occurring.
"The more cameras that we have, the better information that we can give to the officer responding to a call. It's a huge advantage," said Wilham.

|"You look ridiculous, fighting with kids. It's not dignified."
|— Lightning Bolt Zolt to Shady Shin.[1]
"Lightning Bolt" Zolt is the former leader of the Triple Threat Triad.[3] He was infamous in Republic City for crimes against nonbenders and was also known to solicit recruits for his triad operations at Central City Station. One of the most notorious crime bosses in the city, he was the first person to have his bending removed by Amon at the Equalist rally.[4][5] Soon after, Zolt also lost his position as the triad's leader to Viper.[6]
Rule as crime boss
As the leader, Lightning Bolt Zolt worked to make the Triple Threat Triad one of the most prominent organized crime syndicates in Republic City, using fear and violence to extort shopkeepers, steal shipments, and blackmail public figures.[3] Around this time, the crime boss met Mako, who was working for the gang as an accountant, and taught the young boy lightning generation and redirection.[5]
In 167 AG, Zolt, along with Shady Shin, Mako, and Bolin, watched a pro-bending match featuring the Black Quarry Boar-q-pines, inclusive of legendary competitor Toza, whom Shin had paid off to take a dive. However, after the pro-bender completed a knockout, Zolt glared angrily at the ring while Bolin revealed that he had told Toza not to throw the match. Outraged about this revelation, Shin stormed off, chasing the fleeing siblings. Zolt followed the group, and eventually found his recruiter facing off against Mako, Bolin, and Toza in the latter's gym. Slamming his fist into the wall, the crime boss angrily put a stop to the fight. Zolt proceeded to chastise his associate for fighting kids, and the pro-bender for costing him money and not acting honorably. Zolt grimly watched as Toza offered the young brothers a chance to live in the Pro-bending Arena and walked away after they accepted the offer.[1]
The Anti-bending Revolution
At the beginning of the Anti-bending Revolution in autumn 170 AG, Lightning Bolt Zolt was among five bending mobsters taken after the Equalist raid on the Triple Threat Triad's headquarters. During an Equalist gathering, Amon, who recounted Lightning Bolt Zolt's many acts of oppression over nonbenders, presented the bound crime boss to the booing crowd of nonbending Equalist supporters. Zolt, unmoved and annoyed by the situation, simply said that the nonbenders should "boo [themselves]." Much to his surprise, an Equalist proceeded to release him, while Amon challenged him to a duel to keep his bending. At first Zolt was confused that someone, especially a nonbender, would face him out of free will, but he soon grinned and accepted the challenge. Self-confident, he predicted that Amon would regret freeing him.
Lightning Bolt Zolt started the duel by sending multiple rounds of fire blasts at Amon, who dodged every attack, consequently nearing Zolt after each maneuver. Realizing that he needed more to kill the Equalist leader, Zolt enhanced his attack on Amon with a steady stream of lightning. However, the revolutionary leader easily overpowered him while evading all of his attacks. Amon caught Zolt's arm to control his lightning, and placed two fingers on his forehead with his other hand on the back of Zolt's neck, stripping him of his bending. In an impressive spectacle, Zolt's stream of lightning degraded into firebending and finally extinguished. After taking his bending, the Equalist leader let go of Zolt, who collapsed onto the ground. The crime boss, however, quickly regained his consciousness. Refusing to give up, he attempted to firebend at Amon, but to no avail. Shocked of the loss of his bending abilities, the Triple Threat Triad leader asked Amon what he had done to him. The revolutionary leader told Zolt, "Your firebending is gone. Forever."[4] In the course of the next six months, Zolt was replaced by Viper as the triad's leader.[6]
Lightning Bolt Zolt is known to be a blunt and often merciless man who does not hesitate to cut down his enemies. Self-confident, he is unconcerned of what others think of him, evidenced by his callous attitude toward the booing nonbender crowd that gathered at Amon's rally. He also proved to be proud and unyielding, as he accepted Amon's challenge without hesitation and even tried to attack the Equalist leader when he was defeated and lying on the ground.[4]
Zolt was very skilled in the art of firebending, having mastered the difficult and dangerous techniques of lightning generation and redirection at a high level, and was one of the few known firebenders to be able to rapidly generate lightning. Zolt also proved to be a capable teacher, as he passed his lightning techniques down to Mako.[5] The extent of Zolt's abilities became apparent during his duel with Amon, as he employed quick bursts of fire before resorting to powerful lightning strikes. He was also able to maintain a steady stream of lightning, using it to cut through multiple metal structures with ease. The crime boss is also relatively physically strong, as he was able to stand up immediately after Amon's removal of his bending, and also regained consciousness very quickly.[4]
Republic City Hustle
The Legend of Korra
Book One: Air (气)
- 103. "The Revelation"
Book Four: Balance (平衡)
- 408. "Remembrances" (flashback, no lines)
- Zolt's line after Amon removed his bending was the same as Ozai's when Aang removed his bending: "What did you do to me?"[7]
- Zolt is the third known person to lose his bending in the Avatar universe, but the first to do so in The Legend of Korra, and the first known person to have his bending taken away by someone who is not an Avatar.
- Zolt's teachings of lightning generation and redirection to Mako were cut out of the show to save time.[8]
- Zolt possesses an accent similar to that of an Italian mobster.
- Zolt is shown on a most wanted poster along with Amon in the police headquarters in the online game, Welcome to Republic City.
- When he was still the leader of the Triple Threat Triad, Zolt used children to pass along secret messages between his triad members.[9]

The basket the dishwasher came with was useless - leaving holes at the bottom for the cutlery to slide through. So I need to go for an updated model or a different brand of basket.
