Side Quests - Act 3
A Noble Agenda[edit]
Available only if you sided with Orsino at the beginning of Act 3 during their altercation. Start the quest by talking to Ser Marlein Selbrech in Hightown. After accepting the quest, head to Darktown and head into the Hidden Supply Depot. Clear out the mercenaries waiting within and continue on to Lowtown, where you find Ser Mettin. The Templar and his buddies attack the party without much provocation.
A letter gets sent to the Hawke Estate with details of the next step: a return to Lowtown at night. It'd be wise at this point to include an adequate healer in the group to keep the party revitalized as needed. Ser Marlein awaits your arrival. The ambush that ensues catches Marlein and the party by surprise (as is the nature of an ambush); protect the noble from these assailants, although that may be easier said than done. The Ser Edgert the Hound is a particularly dangerous foe, so pour your efforts into ousting him from the fight forthwith. The enemy continues to bog down the party with near endless waves of enemies that include a Templar Lieutenant as well. As a side note, if you haven't yet cleaned up the streets of Followers of She from the Kind of Want quest, you'll also have them to deal with in addition to the myriad of enemies in the first place.
Kind of Want[edit]
This gang called the Follower of She claims the dark streets of Lowtown as their territory. If you want to challenge them, you'll need to deplete their numbers until their leader deigns to fight you. Head into the Decrepit Alley to answer the challenge to kill off the gang leader, Hanker, who is also a Desire Demon. Once eliminated, head to The Hanged Man to claim the bounty from A Friend.
King Alistair[edit]
Rigid prerequisites here: You must have chosen the Hero of Ferelden back story or have an Origins save in which Alistair became king. With one of those chief conditions satisfied, you'll find the letter beginning this quest after completing On the Loose.
Walk into the Viscount's Keep to witness a scene between Meredith and Alistair. The quest ends after this short but amusing conversation with the king.
Red Run Streets[edit]
Another classic kill-them-all quest that involves brawling with Bloodrager Thrall enemies that hang around Hightown at night. They should give you no trouble at all save for possibly the mage among the group. Once the invitation has been thrown out there, enter the Suspicious House to square off against Jake "The Bleeder" Hall. Not surprisingly, Jake practices blood magic and can be quite the threat to the party. At this point, though, the methods of shackling a mage's ability to cast should become second-nature and characters like Fenris or Isabela are natural born mage destroyers, easily obliterating this foe. No contest.
Reining It In[edit]
The Slave Hunters at the Docks are just asking for a firm beating. Thin their numbers out on the streets until you are issued a challenge to visit their hideout at the Run Down Alley. The leader, Jess "Leashmaster" Varvel, isn't anything spectacular beyond the fact she's a mage. Do away with her and attend to her pesky lackeys. Remember that you need to completely rid this area of any remaining Slavers to finish the quest.
The Awiergan Scrolls[edit]
There are three scrolls lying on the ground in three specific locations. Finding these and reading them generates special encounters against more powerful versions of commonplace foes that, when defeated, would update the quest until the Pride Unbound quest begins proper (see below). All of the main opponents encountered excel at wreaking massive destruction upon an unprepared party and are all essentially mini-boss fights. Abandon the mindset of carelessly hammering away at them willy-nilly; you'll need a healer and/or any character possessing an impressive knack for locking down enemies with a variety of debuffs.
The First Aspect is located at The Wounded Coast, at a dead end not too far from the entrance. After inspecting it, proceed along the main path until a myriad of Corpses all of a sudden rise from the ground. These spawns pave the way toward the ultimate target: an Arcane Horror named Medan. Any magic-caster is useless if he's not casting magic, so make that the case for as long as possible here. Revoke its spell-casting rights with a variety of countermeasures against casting, like dispels (which more or less counterspell on top of removing buffs) to get the initial barrage of damage-enhancing debuffs and damage in.
The Second and Third Aspect are both located on Sundermount. Before attempting to grab these, we highly recommend grabbing a tank and a dedicated healer. The last battle is not only healing intensive but also necessitates a proper balance of smart positioning and single-target focus; it's just as taxing on your reserve of potions, so we also suggest stocking up a little bit.
The Third Aspect sits off to the side by the entrance when you first enter Sundermount. The encounter for this one happens at the first campfire site en route up the mountain, pitting you against another Arcane Horror. Again, it is of paramount importance to suspend its spell-casting and support your assault on it with aggressiveness and dutiful healing where needed. The Second Aspect is located behind the slab of rock here by the campsite. Proceed through the Caverns to the Mountain Graveyard area to trigger the final encounter.
This final encounter throws just three named foes against you. A lumbering and fairly weak Corpse named Bysmor, who is trailed by two powerful Revenants: Gifre and Beacon. Pour your energy into downing Bysmor as quick as humanly possible before turning your attention to one of the Revenants. Although the tank should work hard to keep both incredibly durable Revenants transfixed on him or herself, the rest of the party is advised to concentrate on just one at a time, digging deep into electricity and spirit magic reserves. The Revenants might be walking tree trunks of seeming impregnability, but they are surprisingly easy to afflict with various status effects, such as slows. Abuse Gravity Ring and the ice spells and keep most characters at a distance if possible. Any spells that attenuate damage from the Revenant should be cast on the tank occasionally as well. Don't be ashamed to be consuming potions; renew your aggression with potions as you see fit.
The Awiergan Scrolls: Pride Unbound[edit]
Each scroll acted as a constituent of a power trinity that contained the very evil and monstrous Hybris. Now with the force-field released, this personification of Pride resides under Kirkwall. While you can't suddenly burrow underground to face the monstrosity head-on, you can find the Hidden Lair very near Ander's clinic in Darktown. For this fight, we recommend bringing a stalwart tank and a dedicated healer.
Hybris boasts an intimidating health bar and his colossal size might easily cause any fledgling adventurer cowering in the corner, but a fledgling you are not! The most annoying aspect of this fight is the constant addition of Rage Demons and Shades despite there already being one or two present in the battle. This ploy to bog you down with more adds succeeds in taking your attention away from the primary target, Hybris. We recommend devoting the tank to just taking all the adds, including Hybis if possible, upon herself and keeping them from running amuck. Throw AoE spells towards the giant mob of monsters here and then to thin the numbers, but your true focus should stay on depleting Hybris' health through a combination of Hexes, Haste buffs, fire magic, etc. This Pride Demon is of nature affinity, therefore any fire spells are pretty effective. As well, Hybris is susceptible to many forms of speed impairments, so exploit this weakness with a vengeance to reduce its health to zero.
The Last Holdouts[edit]
Available only if you favored Meredith in the beginning altercation between her and Orsino. Start the quest by talking to the barmaid at The Hanged Man at night and then speak to Ser Mettin.
After agreeing to help, you are to travel to Darktown and head to the quest marker. The party is assaulted by a ragtag crew of Blood Mages and other enemies. Characters like Fenris and Isabela are mage destroyers. Now read all four of the Blood Mage Dispatches and move on to the Hawke Estate, where you'll receive a new letter from Ser Mettin on the desk.
Make off to Sundermount Caverns and traverse the windy area to reach the Blood Mage Base. Packs of Blood Mages to fend off here, though luckily you have Ser Mettin and Ser Agatha to fight by your side for a little while. Continue on to face Bancroft and more mages. Hone in on Bancroft's superior powers as a Blood Mage and remove him as quickly as possible. After the battle, Ser Mettin would wish to annihilate the other mages, much to the chagrin of Agatha, but you can plead to show mercy to the other mages. Otherwise, you'll have to fight Mettin himself with Agatha's aid. However, if you support the bloodthirsty Templar, you will have Agatha and her followers to answer to.
The Lost Swords[edit]
In order to partake in this quest, you'll need to have gained the Arishok's respect during Act 2 (which is done mainly through the discourse during Blackpowder Courtesy). A lone Qunari named Taarbas standing in Hightown has been tasked with collecting the swords of fallen Qunari soldiers scattered throughout the region. Find them and return them to him in any order. There are a total of 10 Qunari Swords to find.
- Hightown: Buy from Korval's Blade for 3 gold and 75 silver.
- Hightown (De Launcet Mansion): During the quest On the Loose, you'll find this in a chest in the northeast room. There are Master-grade traps to disarm as well.
- Lowtown: Buy from Weaponsmithy for 3 gold.
- Lowtown (Night): Under a pile of rubble in the Foundry.
- The Gallows: The Weapons Shop has it for 3 gold and 75 silver.
- Anders's Clinc: In a crate located at the back of the room behind Anders
- Docks (Night): There are two here. One in a pile of bones located behind a column in the Harbormaster's Office area; the second is inside a chest that requires 40 Cunning to unlock in the Warehouse.
- The Wounded Coast: The last two located here are a bit trickier to find. The first is hidden in a pile of bone that's in the northwest of the region, where the Tal-Vashoth camp was in Act 1. The second can be found by heading west from the main entrance until the path goes off to the right. It is found in a pile of bones on the western side of the loop.
Who Needs Rescuing?
As of this writing, this quest is still bugged and unable to be completed.
Accept this letter at your humble estate and head off to The Wounded Coast to find Orlanna (who appears if you've updated to the latest patch). You'll have to fight her captors, a few Bandits and their leader, to free her from captivity. Your standard run-of-the-mill encounter, but the quest cannot be completed at present due to a bug.

Transfer Admission Requirements
A transfer student is defined as any student new to UT Permian Basin who has ever enrolled at another college or university prior to attendance at UT Permian Basin and who has completed 24 or more semester hours of college-level work.
UT Permian Basin evaluates credit only from generally accepted academic institutions with regional accreditation. Applicants must submit records of all accredited institutions attended, even if they do not wish to transfer the credit to UT Permian Basin.
Transfer Students with 24 or more semester hours of college work must:
- Have a minimum grade point average of 2.0 (C) on a 4.0 grading system.
- Be eligible to re-enroll in the colleges previously attended.
- Must show evidence of having received the Bacterial Meningitis vaccination or qualified exemption. (Students who are 30 years of age or older or planning to take online courses only (no campus based courses) are exempt.)
Provisional Admission
In some cases, students that do not meet the minimum grade point requirement may be admitted provisionally. Students who are admitted provisionally must complete the first 12 semester hours with grades of "C" or better in each course in order to be removed from provisional status and in order to be allowed to enroll in subsequent terms.
Undergraduate Transfer of Credit
There is no limit to the number of credit hours that may be transferred provided they meet the rules governing transfer of credit listed below. However, students must complete a total of 54 hours of upper level credit and at least 30 of those credit hours must be taken at The University of Texas Permian Basin, with the last 24 hours taken in residence, in order to be eligible to receive a degree. In addition, at least 25% of the credits used to meet a degree requirement must be from U. T. Permian Basin. Course work shown on transcripts from other academic institutions is subject to two separate evaluations:
1. For Admission. Course work is evaluated to determine the transferable credit for admission. This evaluation is performed by an admissions officer during the admission process.
2. Applicability toward degree requirements. Course work is evaluated to determine whether the student's freshman/sophomore courses provide the necessary preparation for upper level courses at U. T. Permian Basin and to determine the applicability of previous upper level course work toward degree requirements at U. T. Permian Basin. This evaluation is performed by an academic advisor in the student's chosen field of study.
Rules Governing Transfer of Credit
1. The college or university from which the credit is to be transferred must be accredited by a regional accrediting agency.
2. Courses transfer to U. T. Permian Basin on the same level and with the corresponding number of credit hours earned at another institution. D grades may be included in the total number of credit hours to be accepted for transfer to U.T. Permian Basin. However, D grades will not be accepted to fulfill the requirements of a major, minor or any General Education requirement.
3. When a course has been repeated for credit, the most recent grade and credit hours will be used to determine the acceptance of the course and also to determine if the student meets the minimum grade point average entrance requirement.
4. The following are not accepted by the University toward admission or degree requirements:
a. Orientation, remedial English, remedial reading courses, remedial mathematics courses,remedial writing (composition).
b. General Education Development tests on high school or college level.
5. Sectarian courses in religion are counted for admission purposes but do not apply toward degree requirements. However, courses in the philosophy of religion, the Bible as a literary work or surveys of the Old and New Testament may be applicable as free electives.
6. Vocational and technology courses are not accepted as transfer credit by the Admissions Officer. Under special circumstances some of these courses may be accepted on an individual course basis by the faculty advisor with the approval of the Dean of the School or College.
7. Except for Kinesiology majors, up to 4 credit hours will be accepted in physical activity courses toward admission requirements and total credits toward a degree. Up to 4 upper level credits in ROTC can be accepted in lieu of physical education.
8. If The University of Texas Permian Basin does not accept lower division course credit earned by a student at another institution of higher education, U. T. Permian Basin shall give written notice to the student and the other institution that the transfer of the course credit is denied. The two institutions and the student shall attempt to resolve the transfer of the course credit in accordance with Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board rules and/or guidelines. If the transfer dispute is not resolved to the satisfaction of the student or the institution at which the credit was earned within 45 days after the date the student received written notice of the denial, U. T. Permian Basin shall notify the Commissioner of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board of its denial and the reason for the denial. The commissioner of higher education or the commissioner's designed shall make the final determination about a dispute concerning the transfer of course credit and give written notice of the determination to the involved student and institutions.
9. Correspondence or extension credit if appropriate to the curriculum and entered onto a transcript of a regionally and state accredited college or university, subject to the following limitations:
a. The maximum transferable credit is 15 semester hours of correspondence credit, 30 semester hours of extension credit or 30 semester hours of correspondence and extension credit combined.
b. A maximum of six semester hours in the major may be correspondence credit.
c. The School of Business does not accept transfer of any upper level business courses taken by correspondence.
d. Transfer credit is presented to the Office of Admissions at the time the student is applying to the University.

Students are invited and encouraged to seek advice about courses and degree programs from the admissions advisors and, if necessary, the student will be referred for consultation with faculty members in the student's prospective discipline.
Transfer Students from Non-Accredited Institutions
A transfer applicant from a non-accredited institution may be considered for conditional admission by the Admissions Review Committee. A transfer student admitted conditionally must achieve a grade point average of 2.0 or above for the first 30 hours of course work undertaken at U.T. Permian Basin and is subject to academic dismissal at any time the grade point average falls below 2.0.

Your mother was right -- she never stayed home.ReplyDeleteReplies
The more I think about it, the sadder a story it seems to become. Perhaps my wishing to know the rest of the story is rooted in a desire to hear that everything worked out alright in the end.Delete
Whether I ever find out or not, I hope it did, for Stella's sake.
A wild thing..now that could have meant many things. Misbehavior at a family function to running away and always testing rules. Perhaps her Father adored her and he indulged her...so she was spoiled rotten and she did whatever she liked. :).ReplyDeleteReplies
Now, that could be a real possibility, Far Side. Sounds reasonable to me.Delete
I'm with Far Side, "Wild thing" is hard to interpret!ReplyDelete
If Mabel lived in Sacramento until 1984 - she would have been 77 years old at that time. One would think she was retired by then... Deming, NM is pretty much the middle of nowhere - If this "is her" I wonder what drew her to Deming?Replies
Well, the only approach I can think of now is to rule out that Mabel Hines in Deming as a possibility. I had thought at one point that perhaps she married and had children of her own--but I can't find any sign of that.Delete
I also can't find any sign of her in the Sacramento area, either. Who knows what would have drawn her--if it is her--to Deming, New Mexico. Of course, who knows what would have brought her to Sacramento, either. It certainly wasn't so she could live closer to me ;)
Leroy Hines had a sister named Stella. Stella Mabel was named for her aunt and her mother. I have a picture of the three Hines children, Paul, Stella, and Leroy. Leroy graduated from VPI in 1903 as a Civil Engineer. I remember seeing him and his mother, my maternal grandmother's Aunt Sadie, when I was 3 or 4 years old.Delete
Kitty, thanks for sharing that information on the family. I knew Leroy was a civil engineer, but I didn't know who else Stella Mabel was named after (other than her mother, Mabel).Delete
It's so helpful to gather these recollections from those who've personally known our ancestors and family members we've never met. Thanks for commenting and sharing that!

Radicchio is an Italian chicory known for being bitter and spicy. Sadly, many people have bad encounters with it that scare them off from ever eating it again. Please don't be afraid of radicchio! Simply tame it by reining in its flavors. Set up this ingredient to shine and you and your family will be rewarded.

Osi Umenyiora is going home.
The veteran defensive end agreed to a two-year contract with the Atlanta Falcons on Wednesday, NFL.com's Steve Wyche reported Wednesday, citing a team source. The Falcons later confirmed the deal.
Fox Sports insider and NFL Network contributor Jay Glazer was the first to report the agreement.
NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported the two-year contract the Falcons gave Umenyiora is worth $8.5 million with a maximum value of $12.2 million. The contract also includes $5 million in the first year, according to Rapoport.
Umenyiora took to Twitter to announce the move, which has been expected for some time.
The Falcons were in need of a pass rusher to replace John Abraham. Umenyiora, who lives in Atlanta, made it clear in a radio interview last week that the Falcons were his first choice.
"There was nothing better than to be able to win (in New York)," Umenyiora said then, referring to his two Super Bowl wins with the Giants. "The only thing I can think of that would be better than being able to win in New York would be to be able to win here in Atlanta. We'll see how that plays out. Hopefully, it works out in a positive direction."
Umenyiora spent his first nine seasons with the Giants, collecting 75 sacks. He was a part-time player by his final season in the Meadowlands, finishing with six sacks, 43 tackles and two forced fumbles.
Umenyiora will help the Falcons' middling pass rush, but look for the team to seek more help in that department through the draft.
UPDATE: Umenyiora signed his contract on Thursday.

In the comments of BDE to DBX Blog Post I was made aware of three bugs in the BDEToDBXDataPump application.
I have fixed 2 of the 3 and made a blind attempt at the remaining one, since I can't reproduce.
The updates can be found in my googlecode SVN
The bug is most likely in an incorrect mapping here of currency fields. All of the mappings are done through a constant. See the code below, by my comments you can
tell how good I felt about it :-)
//Mapping Best Guess in 10 minutes of work, so I suspect there
//are problems but you could also change this to find tune for your

Hopefully my stab in the dark on the remaining issue of change ftCurrency to map to TDBXDatatypes.BCDType instead of CurrencyType is correct. I based it on the comments in dbxCommon.pas

CurrencyType = 25;
Anyway if anyone has any problems with BDEtoDBXDatapump please let me know by
posting an issue on Google Code that way I fix them. Please include the source and destination table/database types as it may be critical to figuring out the mapping problem.

"The Color Bind," Co-Authored by Erica Gabrielle Foldy, Debuts at NYU Wagner
Erica Gabrielle Foldy and Tamara R. Buckley's The Color Bind: Talking (and Not Talking) About Race at Work investigates a stubborn American phenomenon: The taboo nature of race in our work places – and how to transcend it.
Just published by the Russell Sage Foundation, The Color Bind was the focus of a well-attended dialogue held at NYU Wagner on Feb. 26. The conversation included the co-authors as well as Melody Barnes, Senior Fellow at NYU Wagner and Vice Provost for Global Student Leadership Initiatives at New York University. Wagner and its Research Center for Leadership in Action (RCLA) co-sponsored the book launch. More than 125 people attended, filling all the seats in the Rudin Family Forum for Civic Dialogue and enlivening the audience Q&A portion of the program.
Foldy is Associate Professor of Public and Nonprofit Management at Wagner; Buckley is Associate Professor of Counseling at Hunter College and Psychology at The Graduate Center, City University of New York. Their in-depth book grew out of Foldy's direct observation, over many months, of child welfare workers at one social services agency. At first she anticipated that, given the nature of their work, child welfare case workers would bring discussions of race into their team meetings readily. Instead, she found "the color bind" operating in full force, blunting the creativity, morale, and effectiveness of the teams.
One team at the agency, however, broached race and ethnicity regularly, without signs of defensiveness or worries of recrimination. Professors Foldy and Buckley dug into what made this team unique, gleaning some crucial lessons for social service organizations, advocacy groups, public agencies, schools, health providers, and many others.
In any organization, be it in the nonprofit, public, or private sector, the journey out of "the color bind" begins with mindfulness by its leaders that race matters. That's the initial step towards fostering an atmosphere where employees can discuss fraught topics freely, and where "cultural competency," or having the skills to communicate about race, ethnicity, and culture, can be developed, the authors said.
"Race is ever-present," said Buckley. "The taboo of it often keeps us quiet about it. What we're trying to do is show the assets that race brings to us in all the different kinds of conversations that we have."
Professor Buckley, who is African American, and Professor Foldy, who is white, surfaced their own sometimes-clashing perspectives about race during the writing process. But in crossing lines that often keep others separated, both of them found that they could deepen their knowledge and advance their shared mission.
Talking about race is rarely smooth or simple, Foldy explained. "If you are going to enter this territory, you have to live with the fact that you are going to make mistakes."
The Color Bind is published by the Russell Sage Foundation.

TipOne® filter tips have a hydrophobic filter made of ultra high-density polyethylene. The filter traps aerosols and airborne contaminants, greatly reducing the risk of sample carry-over and cross contamination. If your sample comes in contact with the filter, it will not be sealed within the tip. You may still dispense the sample for further use.
Each hinged rack is individually sealed in plastic and has a tear strip for easy opening without sharp instruments.
TipOne® racks have a contoured lid and base for easier handling. Tip volume, lot number, and other important information is laser-marked on the front of each wafer - no label required!
Any lab using air displacement pipettes is at risk for carryover of contaminants. Without filter tips, liquids that may aerosolize during aspiration can enter the air space within the pipette. Subsequent samples may be exposed to these aerosols as air is displaced during dispensing. Today's laboratory procedures are becoming increasingly sensitive, and any contamination can result in a significant loss of time and/or rare samples. The right filter tips can prevent this loss and save the cost of laboratory reagents for repeated experiments.
For more information comparing the blocking efficiency of various filter materials, please see our application note.

Snowden: Surveillance is 'setting fire' to the internet
Global mass surveillance conducted by the US and other governments is "setting fire to the future of the internet", Edward Snowden told a packed auditorium of technology innovators via video link in Austin at the South by Southwest Interactive conference on Monday.
He said: "You guys are all the firefighters, and we need you to help us fix this."
The former US National Security Agency (NSA) contractor, who fled the US last year after leaking thousands of documents that revealed his employer's extensive surveillance programmes, spoke to the audience through a choppy Google Hangout video connection running through multiple proxy servers to conceal his location.
Although Mr Snowden has granted a handful interviews to the media since his revelations made global headlines and led to his seeking asylum in Russia, it was one of his first live appearances before a general audience.
During his one-hour session moderated by his lawyer, Ben Wizner of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), Mr Snowden urged internet and computing experts to design and produce encrypted communication technology that the average user can use.
Often delving into the technical details of internet security, calling it "defence against the dark arts in the digital realm", he said the systems currently available, if used by the general public, would make NSA bulk surveillance programmes much more difficult.
Mr Snowden also denounced what he saw as a change in US priorities since the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks, focusing on breaking communication security rather than protecting information.
"When you are the one country in the world that is sort of a vault that is more full than anyone else, it doesn't make sense for you to be attacking all day rather and never defend your vault," he said.
He also criticised the NSA's mass data collection system as being ineffective and a waste of resources. Instead, he said, the agency should be focusing on the type of people who present a threat.
He cited Boston Marathon bombing suspects Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and his brother Tamerlan as individuals the government might have been able to catch if they had directed resources in the right areas.
"We spent all this money, we spent all this time hacking into Google's and Facebook's back end to look at their databases," he said. "What did we get out of that? We got nothing."
Mr Snowden received a warm reception from the audience, and the question-and-answer session included words of praise in an email from internet pioneer Sir Tim Berners-Lee, who said his actions were "profoundly in the public interest".
The former NSA contractor's appearance was not without critics, however. US Congressman Mike Pompeo of Kansas wrote an open letter to the conference's organisers on Friday, urging them to deny the NSA leaker a public platform to air his views.
Mr Snowden's "only apparent qualification", he writes, "is his willingness to steal from his own government and then flee to that beacon of first amendment freedoms, the Russia of Vladimir Putin".
At the start of the session, Mr Wizner, who serves as Mr Snowden's legal adviser, replied that although freedom of expression protections are generally stronger in the US than in Russia, "if there's one person for whom that's not true, it's Ed Snowden".
If Mr Snowden were still in the US, he said, he'd probably be held by the government in solitary confinement.
Mr Snowden's session is the latest event in a technology conference that has been dominated by talk of internet security, government surveillance and privacy rights.
On Saturday, Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, also speaking via video, called the NSA a "rogue agency" that "has dirt on everyone".
Later on Monday, journalist Glenn Greenwald - who has worked with Mr Snowden to report on information contained in his secret NSA documents - will also have a video session.
In his final question, Mr Snowden was asked to assess the importance of his revelations.
"Regardless of what happens to me, this is something we had a right to know," he said.
"I took an oath to support and defend the constitution, and I saw the constitution was violated on a massive scale.
The interpretation of the constitution had been changed in secret from 'no unreasonable search and seizure' to 'any seizure is fine, just don't search it'. That's something the public ought to know."

My tires came stock on my F150 4x4. I currently have 48,000 miles and have had no problems! Will be buying another set again.:)
Came on my truck new Have 63k mi on truck now Still have 5/32 tread Have noticed most neg reviews were 3/4 ton trucks
Factory issued tire, 52,000 miles and shopping for replacement set. Excellent tires for dry highway use, but after the "new" wore off the tread they are hopeless on wet pavement. Many reviews here estimate this is 10-20K which sounds fairly accurate. I'll be looking at Wrangler A/T adventure based on helpful reviews found here. I would purchase these again if all I was doing was driving on dry highways, but this is Minnesota!
I love these tires! I currently have 52k on the original set that came on my '13 GMC 2500, and I'm sure I will reach 65-75k in them before I have to replace them. That's even with pulling a 10k lb. 5th wheel around in the summers. I do keep them rotated, but other than that, I've done nothing to them but drive. I will definitely be buying another set when the time comes.
No tread confidence at 30k. Wimped out! 60k mi. treadlife warranty? NO WAY!
These tires came stock on my '12 Silverado. Before 40k miles, I had replaced 3 tires, 1 twice! Grip dry pavement fine, but mud or snow, forget it. OK on gravel as long as it's dry but still not great. Sidewalls are crap. First one just blew out the sidewall at 36k going down dry highway. If you rub a curb (mine is crew long so it happens) it WILL cause damage.
I was sinking about 1.5-2 inches in mud and could barely get out in 4x4. Any more than about an inch of snow, and I have to use 4x4, ridiculous.
I now have 50,200 miles on the pickup and one of the two remaining original tires is separating and I had to take it off. It still has pretty decent tread but is unsafe. At least with these tires, my spare gets some use! I've used it more than the one for my last pickup, a '98 that I had for 13 years and had 165k miles!
Bottom line, I will never purchase another one of these tires.
I put a lot of miles on my truck and have driven on several long road trips. I've been off road on the farm and I've driven 90+mph on highways. I've never lost traction, and in snow I've gone where other 4x4s have not (it helps that I know how to drive in the snow). This tire is a good mix of ability to go off road and yet have a very smooth drive on highways, which is important, since 97% of the miles on it have been highway driving. If I lived in snow country instead of just visiting, I would get better mud and snow tires, but yet I have driven through feet of snow with no problems whatsoever. The tire wear has been pretty even, but of course I get the wheels aligned often. I've got over 42k miles on them and I'm thinking about replacing two of the tires in a couple of months, since I don't want to buy four at once. I'll have well over 50k on them by winter, and will need four new tires by then, but I don't think 50+ miles on one set of tires is a bad deal.
Came stock on my F150. I have 100,000 km or 62,000 miles on them and could probably get another 10-20,000 out of them they are down too 5/32. I haul a 22ft travel trailer with 16ft boat moter and trailer in tandem and have had no issues with them. The first year I had the truck they were great in the snow however the second year after the first snowstorm I went out and bought snows. They have done me alright off road too. I have driven a lot of off road and hydro trails in northern Ontario up gravel and sand hills on those trails. The steepest I climbed was 71 degree hill. Not sure why others have had issues and I haven't.
These tires came stock on my new 2015 Chevy 2500HD High Country 4X4 diesel. I travel the country and did research because the tread design was a concern. Low and behold the ratings were marginal at best. I replaced them with 2000 miles with Goodyear Adventure which are night and day from the SR-A. They were't cheap but you can't put a price on safety and confidence. I've driven in every on road condition with absolutely no concerns. Unless you live in a sunny warm area stay clear of these tires.
Do not buy this tire! Good for 20,000 miles max.
I've read some of the reviews, and I don't understand it..I'm not having any issues with my SR-A tires that were factory mounted on my 2014 Chevy..I've gone offroad in the steep mountainous areas of my state, without any issues..
Tires came stock on truck. Decent when tread is new but wear poorly after about 10,000 miles. Absolutely horrible if there is any water or snow on the roads. Goodyear claims it is an all terrain tire but that is a joke. Taking them off pretty soon with just under 12,000 miles and switching to Cooper Discoverer AT3's which I hear are an awesome all around all terrain tire.
These tires are cheap with weak sidewalls that pick up nails. They are too soft and have worn out in 50,000 KM - pretty atrocious (many dealers install these garbage tires on a lot of 1/2 tons standard). Buying BF TA KO2 next 'cause I need a heavier, tougher tire.
Decently priced. Tread seems to be wearing evenly, but don't drive high miles.
Great tire.
I bought a used Jeep and the dealership I went to made installing these brand new tires a major selling point. I thought to myself that I won't have to buy new tires for a while. Boy was I wrong! In Maine, we have plenty of snow and I plow driveways on the side and haul a trailer. With these tires, I was all over the road. I turned a corner at 15mph and my 4x4 went sideways. My Jeep has 4 wheel drive full-time, unlike the Jeep I had previously had 4 wheel drive part-time. Even with 4x4, it doesn't help me if the tires can't move the snow out of the way to gain traction. For the first time ever, I jackknifed the trailer. These tires should be rated for dry and wet conditions only - definitely NOT snow. I've never felt so unsafe in my life! Now I have to look to purchase new winter tires before the next nor'easter. I'm very disappointed....
These tires came on the truck from factory. Had continual flats and they all were separating and needed to be replaced by 20,000 miles. Horrible tires that I will never buy.
Tread life is terrible. Wet and winter traction are terrible. Would NOT buy another set.
Awesome tires.
Tires came on truck from factory. Not a good tire for a 4x4. Alright for a 2wd. Have to use 4x4 in wet grass going up a hill. Truck has 20 inch wheels. Have 12,000 miles on them and already showing a lot of wear. The goodyear all terrain adventure would be a better tire for this truck.
Buyers beware! Purchased new a set of four Goodyear Wrangler SRA tires. Recently discovered serious side wall cracking on these tires which has less than 30,000km. I do not believe this cracking is normal and I think it will lead to tire failure. This is my first and last Goodyear tire purchase.
Great tire.
Pretty good tire all the way around.
Nice for factory tires. Start to get loud when worn.
Amazing tire
I haven't had a chance to drive in snow with these tires, but they've done very well for me in all other regards.
I have these tires on my Expedition and had a flat where the tire literally separated. Went flat instantly. Luckily it was on the back and I was not traveling over 30 mph.

Ahmad Mashlab
My name is Ahmad Mashlab. I have lived in Kuwait ever since childhood. I'm 25 years old and I'm working in the field of telecommunication companies, the section of sales and customer services.
I have suffered from severe obesity ever since childhood and I used to have a life full of physical and psychological disorders until I reached a final weight of 160 kilos.
I've tried several times to lose weight through various diets in different health clubs but in vain, so I lost hope.
Furthermore, I suffered lots of illnesses like: shortness of breath and difficulty in movement. I also suffered from my right knee which led to snapped cruciate ligaments and cartilage.
I met several doctors in Kuwait to do a surgery for my knee, but no one dared to do the operation because of my obesity. It was a shock for me, so I came back to Lebanon, did the surgery, and was able to walk again.
After that I decided to do the "Gastric Sleeve" surgery in order to lose weight. Thank God I met the BSC team who I owe them all the respect and appreciation and I always pray for them so that God Almighty would help them.
Because of this decision (The BSC team advised me to undergo the "Gastric Sleeve" surgery and I did it) my life changed completely .
After the surgery, thank God, I became a new person; a new Ahmad Mashlab not the one I knew before.
Few days after the surgery I did the following:
1. I followed the diet supplied by the BSC dietitian thoroughly,but after a while I skipped it and followed my own diet because I wanted to lose more weight in less time.
2. Daily after the surgery for a month I had only fluids like yoghurt, milk, juice, etc.
3. I jogged daily for a month about 10 to 15 km in the fresh air.
4. I have so far quit beverages and fast foods.
I have lost kilos in a record time which was five and a half months. Then I lost 10 extra kilos where I have reached 80 kilos now.
Now my physical, occupational, personal, and psychological life has changed drastically. Before the surgery, I didn't even think of a relationship with a girl, but after the surgery, I had more self-confidence.
Thank God I'm now engaged to the girl of my life and we are getting married at the end of 2014.
Finally, I ask all obese people who read my story to follow the above instructions and I advise them to undergo the surgery as soon as possible before it's too late.
Sorry to prolong the story ... Please accept me sincerely
Ahmad Mashlab

STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich. - The candy machines at Lakeside Mall are off limits after a pill was found intermixed with some other candy.
Sterling Heights police have asked the mall to cordon off the machines until they can get to the bottom of this. Two sisters were looking to get some Skittles from the machine when they found the pill.
The sisters snapped a photo of the pill that came out with the rest of the Skittles.
The machines are inside the mall in a bank. They are similar to gumball machines. You put your money in and individual candies come out, not packages.
"I opened up the tin, the little door on the machine, scooped them out and I went to just pop them in my mouth and I noticed a weird little brown pill," said Ann Mugless, who found the pill in the candy.
Mugless noticed the weird looking "Skittle" in her handful of the candy before she put it in her mouth. She showed her sister.
"It was literally like a needle in a haystack. It was so odd and strange. Of anything that could come out with the candy, it's a pill," said Mugless.
They alerted mall security and took the pill to the Sterling Heights Police Department. Police are taking this very seriously. The mall was told to take the machines offline until police can get a better look at what may or may not be inside.
"I have a 3-year-old son. They don't know what they're picking up, they don't know what they're eating, they'll eat anything. To think that you get home and it might be too late, God forbid, after they have already ingested something that serious. It's very scary. You can't even take you children to the mall without getting candy and a pill popping up," said Caitlin Zombo, Mugless' sister.
Police are in the process of contacting the vendor.

End-of-life notice: American Legal Ethics Library
As of March 1, 2013, the Legal Information Institute is no longer maintaining the information in the American Legal Ethics Library. It is no longer possible for us to maintain it at a level of completeness and accuracy given its staffing needs. It is very possible that we will revive it at a future time. At this point, it is in need of a complete technological renovation and reworking of the "correspondent firm" model which successfully sustained it for many years.
Many people have contributed time and effort to the project over the years, and we would like to thank them. In particular, Roger Cramton and Peter Martin not only conceived ALEL but gave much of their own labor to it. We are also grateful to Brad Wendel for his editorial contributions, to Brian Toohey and all at Jones Day for their efforts, and to all of our correspondents and contributors. Thank you.
We regret any inconvenience.

Connecticut Rules of Professional Conduct
Commentary - Rule 3.5
[1] Many forms of improper influence upon a tribunal are proscribed by criminal law. Others are specified in the ABA Model Code of Judicial Conduct, with which an advocate should be familiar. A lawyer is required to avoid contributing to a violation of such provisions.
[2] The advocate's function is to present evidence and argument so that the cause may be decided according to law. Refraining from abusive or obstreperous conduct is a corollary of the advocate's right to speak on behalf of litigants. A lawyer may stand firm against abuse by a judge but should avoid reciprocation; the judge's default is not justification for similar dereliction by an advocate. An advocate can present the cause, protect the record for subsequent review and preserve professional integrity by patient firmness no less effectively than by belligerence or theatrics.

Quinn McDonald's monsoon paper
Laurie O'Neill's blog post, here, for really beautiful pictures and more workshop descriptions from JournalFest, 2010.
Have a great weekend, xo Diana
I have been collecting old books or so many years, always intending to 'alter' them. But when it comes to the crunch, I cannot; cannot destroy what is old, and beautiful in its own right. I guess it goes back to world war two when I was a young child and books were so precious, and hard to come by. If it hadn't been for my librarian great-grandfather, I might never have know the joys of handling and owning a REAL book.
So now I still buy old books, and scan the pages and print them out on flimsy paper and distress them. Rip and tear and collage them onto cheesecloth. And still have my original beauties. But I've bought an old damaged bible, and that will be ripped up and .... what will it become ???
Yes, I know what you mean. I have some beautiful old books that will remain intact forever. For my rescue book journals, I like to use the less precious books that would be thrown out otherwise.
I agree, there are some too precious and I save them. Others I choose to 'honor' by making them in to art. Looks like a great class.
Oh I do so love your fun and whacky pictures!!! Old books are another love and I love honoring them and giving them new life!!! BRAVO!!!
that class looked like a lot of fun! i LOVE old books and paper and recycling old books into journals. :) i have a hard time using some of the paper, too. i've found color copies on my printer does the trick! ;)
How cool to see myself on your blog. Had a great time in both of your classes that I took!
Aloha, Kate

Weight Gain. Toxicity. Diabetes. Hyperactivity. Chemical Overload. Hungry Yet?
You worked hard for your poolside-ready body; why compromise it with misleading "low-calorie" foods? Did you know that most low-fat, low-calorie foods are made with an artificial sweetener called aspartame? A study conducted at The Yale University of Biology and Medicine observed a "positive correlation between artificial sweetener use and weight gain."1 Artificial sweeteners such as aspartame and sucralose actually enhance your appetite, and consuming artificial sweeteners has been shown to lead to even greater weight gain than sugar. Not to mention the toxic effects this sugary impostor has on your mind: Studies have shown that "the putative excitatory neurotransmitters and neurotoxin aspartate (Asp) destroy neurons in the brain."2 Ditch the artificially sweet snack foods and opt for something that works to improve mind, body and soul! Check out our naturally sweet superfood cereals, loaded with flavors such as acai, ginger and cacao.
Synthetic trans fats are common in trail mixes which contain partially hydrogenated oils that promote a longer shelf life and a desirable texture. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), "consuming trans fat increases low-density lipoprotein [LDL, or bad] cholesterol. This risk factor contributes to the leading cause of death in the U.S. – coronary heart disease."4 The study concludes with a profound statement: "…avoiding artificial trans fat could prevent 10,000-20,000 heart attacks and 3,000-7,000 coronary heart disease deaths each year in the U.S."4
What About MSG?
Monosodium Glutamate, known more commonly as "MSG," is a flavor enhancement often used in fast food and prepackaged snacks. MSG is an excitotoxin, which means it overexcites your cells to the point of damage or death, causing brain dysfunction and impairment to varying degrees. Take the risk out of your snacking! Choose an all natural, raw and organic trail mix – or better yet, create your own! We love the savory combination of Gopal's Wraps, Living Intentions Garlic Nut Blend, Organic Raw Cashews and Botija Olives!
Don't compromise your health for convenience—make your summertime snack experience unforgettable with these sweet and savory items!

Moved by Supervisor Cervantes and seconded by Supervisor Arcularius to approve the Use of Unanticipated Revenue Policy as recommended by the Financial Advisory Committee (FAC). Motion carried unanimously.
Integ. Waste/ South County Operations
Mr. Chuck Hamilton, Deputy County Administrator, provided and reviewed the detailed documentation pertaining to the south County solid waste operations, including the updated per-capita and curbside rate figures. The Board and Staff discussed in detail and at length the information contained in the Staff Report including the alternatives. Supervisor Cervantes reiterated his position that the operations should be left unchanged based on his assertion that the remote southeastern portion of the County does not receive full County services and this is a mitigating measure for any lack of services.
Supervisor Bilyeu indicated that he would support making no changes to the services, at this time, in order to address the solid waste operations countywide. Supervisors Cash, Arcularius and Brown concurred with Supervisor Bilyeu, explaining that while they were willing to postpone a decision on south County operations until a complete audit of the entire program was made and funding alternatives were addressed, it was strictly that, and they were not buying into the argument that their decision was to mitigate for lack of services in south County. They individually and collectively explained that (a) they felt south County received services such as libraries, law enforcement, social services, health services, senior services, etc., just like the other areas of the County; (b) that the County needs to address those state and federal regulations which are mandated at the landfills and if that requires a change in how the program is funded it should be shared uniformly throughout all areas of the County; and (c) there are concerns with using a per-capita formula as the basis for assessing delivery of services. Supervisor Bilyeu concurred with their assessment and explained further that he would like to see a complete evaluation of the solid waste operations within Inyo County in order to come up with a solution to the problem which is the fact that it's going to take general fund dollars away from all of our other projects to satisfy the State of California in taking care of our trash and garbage. He went on to say that once a countywide evaluation is conducted and as plans are developed for dealing with the countywide Solid Waste Program that would be the time to address the south County operations. The Board heard from Keeler Residents, Ms. Sophia Merk, Ms. Sherry Cosgrove and Mr. John Dukes, saying that they we're willing to pay their share and supporting no change in services and also having a meeting in South County on this issue.
Moved by Supervisor Cervantes and seconded by Supervisor Cash to continue to provide solid waste hauling services in south County without change until a countywide review and analysis of the solid waste operations throughout the County is conducted and a plan is developed on how the County will continue to provide services and fund its solid waste operations including regulatory mandates and capital improvements required by the federal and State governments; and direction to Staff to publish the Agenda for a Special Meeting of the Board for Thursday, August 4, 2007, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., at Stovepipe Wells, to discuss and receive ideas and input from those who are directly impacted by the south County solid waste operations.
The Chairperson recessed the regular meeting at 9:56 a.m., to reconvene at 10:05 a.m., with all Board Members present.
Resol. #2007-49/ Old B.P. Library Building Leased to B.P. Fire Dept.
Ms. Tanda Gretz, Senior Planner, reviewed the staff report and recommendation to lease the old Big Pine Library building and land to the Big Pine Fire Department. She reviewed in detail the findings upon which this recommendation was based. Ms. Nancy Master's, Independence Resident, addressed the Board to request that they delay their decision on this matter until further research is conducted into the historical status of the building. The Board and Ms. Master's discussed her suggestion. The Board conveyed their understanding that the old Big Pine Library building is historically significant, but qualified that understanding by explaining that it did not meet the level of significance, which required protection under the law. The Board noted that the State Office of Historic Preservation has verified in writing that the decision regarding the historic status of the building is the County's and that the action of the Board to lease the land to the Big Pine Fire Department provides for the health and safety of the Community of Big Pine and, in this instance, serves the greater good. The Board and Ms. Master's discussed that the District would be required to follow the process established in the law for the disposal of the building and there is still an opportunity for someone from the public to relocate the building. Supervisor Bilyeu noted for the record that in the three years he has been working on this transfer, no one has contacted him to oppose this action, all of his communications have been in support of the Big Pine Fire Department's utilization of this property. Supervisor Bilyeu also expressed his concern with the County finding the funds to maintain the old library building. The Board reviewed and concurred with the conclusions provided by staff and supported the recommendation. Ms. Geri Stout of the Big Pine Fire District Board of Fire Commissioners, addressed the Board to support this action, explaining how important this location is to the ongoing operations of the District. The Board and Ms. Dixon discussed how costly to the District taxpayers, it would be for the District to relocate its Fire Department which will be required if the District is not able to acquire the use of this property. Moved by Supervisor Arcularius and seconded by Supervisor Brown to A) declare the old Big Pine Library building and the land on which it sits surplus; B) adopt Resolution No. 2007-49, certifying the Negative Declaration for the proposed project and certifying that the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act have been met; and C) approve the 40-year Lease between the County of Inyo and the Big Pine Fire Department for the lease of the library land and building, making provision for the removal of the building by the Fire Department; and authorize the Chairperson to sign the lease contingent upon the appropriate signatures being obtained. Motion carried unanimously.

The Chairperson recessed closed session at 11:25 a.m., to reconvene in open session to receive a report on closed session. County Counsel reported that with regard to Agenda Item No. 11.

The Chairperson adjourned today's meeting in memory of Capt. Leonard Sluyter, a long-time Independence resident who passed away this weekend.

Cisco Helps Ensure that Bermuda is Connected to the Global Economy
Part of what makes the network so powerful is its ability to transform economies and enable countries to leverage their unique characteristics, no matter how remote. Recently on SP360, we discussed how Iceland is becoming a leader in green cloud computing because of its low-cost geothermal power and high speed connectivity back to Europe and North America.
Bermuda, another island nation, is also harnessing the power of the network to maintain its leading role in the international insurance, trading, and financial sectors. Earlier this month, Cisco announced with the Ministry of Government Estates and Information Services the launch of a Cisco Networking Academy in the island. The Networking Academy program, with over 1 million students worldwide, will now provide Bermudians with the opportunity to receive information and communications technology education to prepare students for careers in the 21st-century global economy.
Fortunately, these students may not have to leave the island to find work. This week, Bermuda Telephone Company announced that they've deployed a new fiber-based Carrier Ethernet network called PRISM based on Cisco technology, including the market-leading ASR 9000 Series and Cisco Prime for network management. The ASR 9000 is a good choice because it provides plenty of scale to help BTC grow while minimizing power consumption on an island that must import fuel to generate electricity. Cisco's Prime network management suite will facilitate faster provisioning of customer services and reduce operational costs.
Driven by customer demand for high-speed data connectivity and advanced collaboration services, the new network will provide both the highest capacity on the island and the end-to-end quality-of-service performance necessary to ensure that a single network can deliver a mix of voice, video, mobile, and data traffic along with mission critical business services. Other potential benefits to Bermudians include improved access to health care specialists off the island (telemedicine, reducing the need to travel) and greater educational opportunities through distance learning.
Watch how Bermuda Telephone sees their new ASR9000-based network enabling new services:
As a result of this deployment the island of Bermuda will have one of the most advanced and IPv6-ready networks in the Caribbean. More important, however, are the economic benefits provided for the citizens of Bermuda.
On behalf of Cisco, let me thank the entire Bermuda Telephone team for putting your trust in us.

The elites of Europe and America fawn over leaders such as Jose Luis Zapatero, Prime Minister of Spain, and Jacob Zuma, President of South Africa. But what are the men really like?
Zapatero is akin to Mr. Bean, and Jacob Zuma is reported on doing the following:
[Click to Enlarge picture of South African President Jacob Zuma dancing at his Polygamous Wedding]
Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words.
Mr. Bean is pictured below:
Jose Luis Zapatero below:
[Click to enlarge Zapatero]
Here is a smaller color version of the Financial Times photograph, cropped however to not show the incongruous mixture of athletic shoes and traditional tribal dress.
From the Financial Times website:
South Africa's President Jacob Zuma on Monday married Thobeka Madiba, his fifth wife, in a private ceremony at Nkhandla in KwaZulu Natal state.
Mr Zuma, 67, who was elected to the presidency in April, is a Zulu traditionalist who practices polygamy.
Ms Madiba – formerly known as Thoebeka Mabhija – is 36 and a socialite from Durban. She will be Mr Zuma's third current wife.
Mr Zuma's defence of polygamy and other Zulu values became more pronounced during the late 1990s and has been controversial among many liberal South Africans. So has the size – and cost – of his domestic establishment. He is thought to have 19 children. However, his latest marriage appears to have attracted virtually no critical comment.
"No-one seems to be shouting about it any more," said Jeremy Gordin, author of a biography of Mr Zuma.
Mr Zuma's second wife, Kate Mantsho Zuma, committed suicide in 2000. He divorced his third wife, Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, now the home affairs minister, in 1998.
Ms Madiba has attended a number of official events with Mr Zuma.
South Africa is already a disaster, with one in four men admitting rape, according to BBC reports, with those admitting rape reporting 75% had their first attack during their teens. Gang rape considered a form of male bonding. Widespread criminality make South Africa a place where almost no business can be done without the considerable expense of armed guards.
Spain, is not quite as bad as South Africa. But most of its recent economic growth over the past decade appears to be of the nature of a gigantic ponzi scheme akin to "flip that house." Nearly all of Spain's apparent wealth being connected to real estate. There are only so many houses on the Costa Del Sol for sun-starved English and Germans that can be built at a profit, after all. Unemployment is nearly 20%, and the investment in "green" initiatives has been a bust.
But a picture is worth a thousand words. South Africa is one of the "better governed" African nations, and its President dances around in a manner totally unsuited for a man of 67, much less one that age who is head of state. A man that age marrying a thirty something woman is ridiculous, and undignified. Polygamy, itself, is incompatible with any nation that wishes social stability and peace. South Africa's rape statistics are entirely predictable results of polygamy and tribalism. A nation that produces a President dancing around in a polygamous marriage ceremony is sure to be a place that is hell on earth for most of its people.
Spain is not as bad, but is among the worst managed nations in Europe. Something remarkable given Greece's chronic inability to budget within its means and Italy's rampant corruption. Zapatero is at least as bad a manager as Mr. Bean, while nowhere as funny.
These are the men routinely celebrated in the pages of the press and by elites such as David Brooks. Who feels that America's "stupid people" have quite unreasonably lost faith in public policy conducted by "serious intellectuals" in the Obama Administration and Democratic Party. After all, David Brooks, part of the educated class that he reckons superior to ordinary people, decided to support Obama based on the cut of Obama's pants. Seriously. The same folks assure us that Jacob Zuma and Jose Luis Zapatero are serious men worthy of respect.
Not clowns to be laughed off the stage, along with their nations and people. Remember, the world is in the best of hands. David Brooks said so.

Throughout the evening, music will be flowing through the air from the Varina High School Marching Band, the VCU Trombone Choir and Lite 98. Free horse and carriage rides will take you on a tour of Downtown to enjoy the lights. You might just see the Richmond Ballet Sugar Plum Fairy fluttering through the crowd as well!
Saturday, the Dominion Christmas Parade will continue the festivities throughout the weekend. The parade will kick off at the Science Museum making its way to Seventh Street.

In Reply to: The proverbial buffalo posted by David FG on April 17, 2010 at 08:44:
: : : : : : : A quick question - I'm translating a contemporary British novel, and ran into this sentence: "He will have to run headlong into it, like the proverbial buffalo into the storm." This seems to refer to some well-known idiom, but I can't think of any that would fit the bill. Any ideas?
: : : : : : You said the author is British, right? And there aren't any buffaloes native to Great Britain. Well, there are in the U.S. (although not in the northeast, where I live), and I've never heard such an expression. I can imagine buffaloes, like musk oxen, facing a storm, especially when protecting their young, but "run headlong" suggests a situation I'm not familiar with.
: : : : : : I do have a suggestion. Just translate what the author says, and don't worry about whether it makes sense or not.
: : : : : SS is of course right when he says there are no Buffalo in the British Isles, but then there are no lions or elephants either, and the Brits have phrases involving those...
: : : : : Having said that, I have never heard the phrase either, so if it is a genuine proverb it is presumably a fairly obscure one.
: : : : : I am led to suspect the original writer was using the word 'proverbial' in a 'loose' (ie 'wrong') sense, rather in the way some people use the word 'literally' when they actually mean nothing of the sort.
: : : An odd behavioural trait of the North American Bison (buffalo) is to stand and face into a storm rather than seeking shelter or turning away. With the thickest part of their coat being at the front and their massive head and shoulders to block the wind, this stance helps to protect their core temperature. I have heard the phrase "like a buffalo in a snow storm" to mean facing a challenge head-on rather than shying away or turning your back. This is the connection although it seems a little garbled. I can see no good coming from actually charging headlong into a prairie blizzard, even if I was a buffalo. That conjures up a sense of being foolhardy or fighting a battle that can't be won (farting against thunder?), instead of being steadfast.
: : I believe John when he says he has heard the phrase, "like a buffalo in a snow storm." The U.S Government (by way of the U.S. Cavalry) spent more than half a century trying to destroy all the buffalo on the continent. I'm surprised that there was enough interest to coin a phrase about buffalo behavior.
: : As to heading into the wind during a storm, I had the notion that that was a common behavior among bovines generally, even if there was no storm, but just a noticeable breeze. In any case, it's hard to imagine that prairie-swelling buffalo had any shelter to seek.
: : ..............................................
: : Not that I wish to flog a dead horse, but David has correctly pointed out that Brits have phrases referring to lions and elephants (although surely not many). There was a time when the sun never set on the British Empire, including lands where the lion and the elephant roamed. I have never heard, however, that the British flag ever flew over the North American prairie.
: Ah, Smokey, Smokey, Smokey...
: The Union Flag might not have fluttered over the US prairie, but you might be aware of what I believe is a fairly sizeable chunk of land a wee bit to the north, which I think is called Canada.
: There are bison/buffalo there...
: (And I am, of course, teasing you.)
Thanks for reminding me of the Canadian bison. Do they run headlong into the storm? I've seen the Canadian prairie (some of it), but not the Canadian bison.
