Trancefusion 4.1.99
by Sabrina Sexton Weil
Venue: The Vault - Atlanta, GA
Arriving at the Vault around 10 pm, we were pleasantly surprised to find a nice group of people already waiting in the parking lot. We were greeted with Sweet Tarts and wishes of "Love from Birmingham" to make our wait more enjoyable. When the doors finally opened, the anticipation could be felt as people streamed into the club...paying their measly $3 to hear some fine tunes.
The front room of the Vault was hosted by Shapeshifter Productions. They usually provide a showcase of Atlanta dj's every Thursday night at Transit. This evening, they had teamed with Mirage to provide the makeup party for Moda and Jazz-e's abbreviated set at the Tabernacle, which had been cut short by some guy playing Tarzan.
We took a moment to speak with Maxwell and Kevin of Mirage, and Maxwell shared with us what he expected from the evening: "We just hope people have fun and that the people who come here realize that the vibe is the most important thing any party can have, and that we've got people we really respect coming in. Moda and Jazz-e are incredible musicians, and they're the kind of music we love. We hope that everyone enjoys the evening!"
Mirage resident dj Mike B. opened the evening as the crowd streamed in. He then released the decks to Mr. Scarey! We marveled at how long it had been since we'd heard him play out three years at least during the old Madhouse days. He played all kinds of music, ranging from classic tracks to an unreleased Rabbit in the Moon track. He played to an ever-growing crowd...the club was rapidly filling with happy, excited people eager to have a good time on a Thursday night.
Then, around 12:15 am, magic began. Moda and Jazz-e's live set rocked the house! Their funky blend of acid trance got the crowd pumped. Their soon-to-be-released track "Funkin' Acid" was a hit...sending the dancefloor into a sea of throbbing, jumping bodies. People were dancing everywhere from the pit in the center of the main room to the stage behind Trancefusion Music's duo and everyone seemed to be loving it. Some idiot set off a string of firecrackers in the middle of their set, but the vibe was so positive, that jerk's antics were quickly forgotten. (He or she is just lucky nobody got hurt.)
After their exciting live performance (complete with Moda's facial expressions that corresponded to the music's builds and peaks), Jazz-e retreated to the dj booth to lay down some funky, groovy tunes. The dancefloor was momentarily cleared to make way for a pair of extremely strong breakdancers who mesmerized everyone with their acrobatics. Enthusiastic dancers, however, soon filtered into the middle of the circle to return the club to its "okay, now everybody dance" regularly scheduled programming.
Moda took over the tables after Jazz-e's rousing set, and he proceeded to break out some of the most impressive progressive trance we've heard in a long time. The sweeping melodies that washed over the crowd were reminiscent of Paul Van Dyk's set in Miami at the Winter Music Conference. Note: we need more progressive trance played out in Atlanta. Everybody loved it! Moda kept the dancefloor moving until 4 am, and we were quite impressed by the number of people left who were still eager to get their groove on. Two girls even got up on the bar next to the dj booth and precariously swung their Jnco-clad hips around to the beat until the lights came on.
One thing that really stands out about Moda and Jazz-e, beyond their amazing musical talents, is how genuine they are. They took the time to speak with fans about the equipment they used to make their incredible music, and they accepted all compliments with a sincere smile. To top off the incredible vibe of the evening, it was great to see not only the performers having a great time, but Maxwell and Kevin of Mirage as well. They ran around that night with big grins on their faces, truly enjoying the music, the people and the spirit of the evening.
We stayed until the very end of the evening, when Vault security began saying "Bye bye" to us. The atmosphere of the club, the smiles on everyone's faces, and the fabulous music presented that night will remain in the hearts of many who attended for a long, long time. Smaller scale events do tend to have a special personality, and we think that this evening was a perfect example of how to do it right.

Shin Dolseok – Ascending the Weolsong Pavilion, I Worry About the Country
Shin Dolseok (申乭錫, 신돌석, 1878-1908) was a Korean independence activist. He was of the Pyeongsan Shin Clan (平山申氏, 평산신씨); his original name was Taeho (泰浩, 태호); his courtesy name (字, 자) was Sun'gyeong (舜卿, 순경); and his nickname was "the Tiger of Mount Taebaek"(太白山- 虎狼-, 태백산의 호랑이). In 1905, he joined the irregular army (義兵, 의병), in response to the Japanese colonial administration's order to cut the top-knots of hair (斷髮令, 단발령). Unlike many other irregular army leaders, he was of the commoner class (平民, 평민) and the first general that was of the commoner class. He fought the Japanese in various locations mostly in the southern half of the Korean peninsula, with varying degrees of success. In 1908, Shin Dolseok was betrayed and murdered by one of his subordinates' brothers, who wanted to collect Japanese bounty placed on him. Even though he was of the commoner class, Shin Dolseok also composed a few poems in Classical Chinese. It should be noted that by the 18th and 19th centuries, Classical Chinese literacy was not as strong of a marker of socioeconomic class in Chosun as it did prior centuries. There were many commoners (平民, 평민) and even those of formerly of the slave caste (賤民, 천민) that were literate and even composing poetry; and conversely there were plenty of aristocratic Yangban class (兩班, 양반) that were not literate. The following was written in 1904 when Shin Dolseok turned 27.
登越松亭憂國 등월송정우국
Ascending the Weolsong Pavilion, I Worry About the Country
登樓遊子却行路 등루유자각행로
可歎檀墟落木橫 가탄단허락목횡
男兒二七成何事 남아이칠성하사
暫倚秋風感慨生 잠의추풍감개생
Having ascended the tower, a wanderer had forgotten his way.
It is pitiful that in Dangun's ruins a fallen tree lies widthwise.
When a boy reaches twenty-seven years of age, what affairs ought he to achieve?
I briefly lean against the Autumn winds and a resentful feeling forms.
To ascend • tower • wandering • person • to forget • to travel • road
Can • to sigh • birch tree • ruins • to fall • tree • widthwise
Male • child • two • seven • to achieve • what • affair
Briefly • to lean • Autumn • winds • to feel • to resent • to form
- This blogger was only able to find the translated title of this poem into Korean. The title as it appears in the post is his back-translation.
- 越松亭(월송정) – Weolsong Pavilion is a pavilion in Pyeonghae (平海, 평해), in modern day Uljin (蔚珍, 울진).
- 檀(단) – Refers to Dangun (檀君, 단군, 2333BC-?), the semi-legendary founder of Korea and Gojoseon (古朝鮮, 고조선, 2333BC-108BC). In context, 檀墟(단허) refers to Korea.

Only problem now is that I don't have time to do all the exciting DC stuff that lured me up here in the first place.
Or my laundry.
I did, however, briefly meet Ralph Nader while waiting for a table on a recent Saturday night at Busboys & Poets.
Here's some of the other things that have kept me from blogging/sanity in the last few months.
|Reporting on the public media as an intern with Current newspaper.
|Avoiding hooligans on dangerous city streets.
|Lots of commuting.
|Investigative journalist David Kirby spoke about his book Death at Seaworld: Shamu and the Dark Side of Killer Whales in Captivity.
Also present were Dr. Naomi Rose, a senior scientist at Humane Society International, and Courtney Vail, campaign director for the Whales and Dolphin Conservation Society, who addressed how damaging it is for orcas to be kept as play things for human entertainment.
|Ocean Doctor David E. Guggenheim gave a presentation on ocean life, how we landlubbers are wrecking it, and how it may be possible for us to one day live under the sea.
He also mentioned an excellent app for those who want to consume seafood responsibly.

Since the show has gone on for so long, we've been wondering who the first star to leave Teen Mom 2 will be, and one seems a bit more likely than the others. Kailyn Lowry is not going to the Teen Mom 2 reunion show, and we're really worried about what it might mean for her future with MTV.
In an interview with Radar Online, Kail revealed that heading to NYC to catch up with her costars just isn't in the cards this year. She didn't offer up too many details, but it does sound like Baby Lo -- who is now officially known as Lux Russell -- is playing a pretty big role in her decision.
"I don't really plan on going," Kail said. "It's not something I really want to participate in. I'm not going to leave the baby."
Wait a second -- wasn't Kail just in NYC the other day? The excuse that she doesn't want to travel because of her baby doesn't really hold up, because he's already visited the Big Apple. More and more, we're thinking this is just one fo those times Kail is totally over the show.
More from CafeMom: Kailyn Lowry's Pregnancy Advice for Kendall Jenner Is Kind of Depressing
The reunion isn't something she wants to participate in? That sounds like she's tired of being on the show to us. And when you add that statement, her growing family, her recent graduation from college, and the fact that she's working on a pilot of a new show on her own time, the evidence just keeps piling up.
We really, really don't want Kail to leave, though. We love seeing her day-to-day drama, and watching Isaac, Lincoln, and eventually Lux grow up over the years. Kail, please stay!

Our family recently planned a trip to Sunriver, Oregon. Meaning, we planned to go there but we didn't take the time to plan what we would do or see while in the area (as is our usual habit). We're typically big on planning and preparedness but in this case, we decided to fly by the seat of our pants.
On our way to our vacation rental we passed a sign for Lava Lands and figured we'd check that out, only to discover that it was already closed for the day. Feeling a little bit frustrated (already) by our lack of foresight, we saw a sign that pointed to Benham Falls. Waterfalls are beautiful things and so we recalculated and headed off in the direction of water. We parked at the trail head for both Benham Falls and the Old Mill Interpretive Trail.
We began our explorations with the Old Mill Interpretive Trail. This trail took us along the Deschutes River. Along the way there were signs explaining the river's historic uses and it's ecology. This is a rather quiet and peaceful trail. It is marked as being "easy" which we can affirm.
There are many trails which connect and spread out around the area. We followed the path closest to the Deschutes for a ways. As this was our first outing in the area, we enjoyed the unique landscape and the kids had fun collecting pinecones.
We were pleased with how well the paths are maintained. It made traversing the area terrifically easy with the children.
Along the trail you'll find signs describing the mill work that took place near the turn of the century along the river. We enjoyed reading about the history of the area and talking about what life might have been like for people working in the mill back in the day.
After exploring the Old Mill Interpretive Trail a bit, we turned around and headed towards the "falls" which we discovered weren't quite what we had pictured in our mind's eye. The falls here are rapids located between Sunriver and Bend, Oregon. The rapids were created by the eruption of the nearby Lava Butte and, despite not being as expected, were fun to check out.
We found these two trails to be a great introduction to the area. We ended up having a very pleasant evening out. The trail is quite wide (enough for a large group of people to spread out and fellowship while walking) and remarkably easy to navigate. We had no troubles and did not find the hiking difficult at all. Our two year old moved about quite easily. There is no guardrail along the river bank (should you be expecting such a thing) but just the beautiful sound of the rushing of water. Keep an eye on your kids, certainly, but there's no real cause for worry or danger.
This is a perfect hike for families in general, but quite doable for young children especially. While it was a happy accident that we went on this particular hike, we are glad for it.
Note: Due to the fact that there are a lot of shady areas and flowers, there are also a lot of mosquitoes. We did slap at a few, but not so many to find them a huge bother. You might wish to apply some bug spray before heading out.
For more information about the location of Benham Falls see HERE.

Ferrellgas Partners, L.P., one of the nation's largest propane distributors, will be among the first to add the ROUSH Liquid Propane Injected Ford F-250 pickup truck to their alternative fuel fleet.
The propane-powered 2010 Ford F-250 is manufactured in Livonia, Mich., by ROUSH Performance. Ferrellgas President and Chief Operating Officer Steve Wambold will be taking the truck on a "Road Show" through the Midwest June 15-18. The Ferrellgas "Road Show" will make several stops as it travels from Michigan to Kansas to educate consumers about the economic and environmental benefits of using propane as a motor fuel.
Propane is the most widely used alternative fuel today, powering more than 10 million vehicles around the world. Operating costs typically range from 5 percent to 30 percent less than those of a gasoline-powered fleet, and, on average, create 20 percent less nitrogen oxides, up to 60 percent less carbon monoxide and fewer particulate emissions, according to the Propane Education & Research Council (PERC). Federal tax incentives are available through 2010 for both new alternative fuel vehicles and vehicles converted to run on an alternative fuel. These incentives include a credit of up to 50 cents per gallon for each gallon of alternative fuel used, as well as incentives for incremental vehicle costs and infrastructure credits. Many states also offer additional incentives.
Motorsports legend Jack Roush, founder and chairman of the board of directors for ROUSH Enterprises, will present the keys to the new ROUSH Liquid Propane Injected F-250 to Wambold during a special presentation at the ROUSH Automotive Collection facility in Livonia, Mich. The ceremony will take place on June 11 at 4:30 p.m. (Eastern) and will be followed by a news conference in which Roush and Wambold will answer questions about the new truck and the work the two companies are doing to promote the use of propane as an alternative fuel. The doors are open to anyone interested in attending the event.
Following the launch event, Wambold will drive the new ROUSH Liquid Propane Injected F-250 from the ROUSH manufacturing plant to Ferrellgas headquarters in Overland Park, Kan. The "Road Show" will include stops in various markets, including Columbus, Ohio; Indianapolis; and St. Louis. News conferences will be conducted in each market to give media and consumers a preview of the new truck and help raise awareness about the environmental and economic advantages of using propane as a motor fuel.

Transformation into 'Grove Village' gives the estate 1,300 good quality homes, new community and shopping facilities and a radically improved quality of environment.
Design failings of the existing estate
Plymouth Grove, in south east Manchester, was built in the 1970s and consisted of 1,090 two-storey flats and houses. The original design was based on a planned urban layout known as Radburn housing. This approach deliberately keeps pedestrians and vehicles apart, confining cars to access roads, cul-de-sacs and parking areas and pedestrians to separate footpaths, often as part of an extensive network of green space.
The Radburn layout meant that cars were vulnerable as they were parked far from homes. Cul-de-sacs and poorly overlooked walkways and green spaces discouraged walking through the estate. The proportion of public to private space was high, but the density of housing low. These problems meant it was hard for any shops or services to survive within the estate.
The standard of housing for residents had deteriorated quickly since the estate was built. Homes needed modernisation and recladding. Gardens, rarely enclosed, were small and lacked a sense of privacy.
A regeneration strategy
The masterplan commissioned by Grove Village Consortium included physical interventions to balance selective demolition, refurbishment and new-build. It emphasised changing the pattern of movement and restructuring the relationship between public and private space.
The Consortium based its approach to the estate on the concept of a single 'managed village':
- a one-stop shop manages the housing, repairs and neighbourhood and provides an excellent community centre
- additional income generated through the PFI funded development process allows the maintenance of high quality public environment
- to help the estate remain a coherent whole, similar materials have been used for new buildings and refurbished properties
Improved streets
The new scheme introduces an east-west Green Route which links three neighbourhood parks and serves as a central spine through the estate. It is shared space for pedestrians, cyclists and cars with no kerb, a 10mph speed limit and a raised table entry for cars at junctions. All other residential streets adjoining the Green Route are traffic calmed.
Remodelled housing
The scheme addresses the several design challenges presented by the Radburn layout by:
- creating a traditional street layout through 'reversing' some houses (changing fronts to backs and vice-versa)
- adding windows to blank gable walls to increase natural surveillance of the street and parking areas
- giving two-storey blocks new windows, individual private entrances and an enclosed threshold
- converting maisonettes over separately let garages (which had long been unpopular with residents) into three storey houses.
The converted maisonettes, now with ground floor entrances and an additional bedroom or integrated garage, have proved to be particularly popular.

Playground sounds
We have been talking about our five senses in the preschool. On this beautiful day we spent time discovering different sounds on our playground. We recorded the sound of our feet crunching through the dried leaves and made drumming sounds on our slide.
We recorded the squeaky sound the gate makes and the loud sound a metal bucket makes when dragged across cement.

In order to adequately serve these changing demographics, health care organizations must provide all persons with the ability to obtain, process, and understand basic health information and services needed to make appropriate health decisions. The authors of a new discussion paper write that in order to accomplish this, health care organizations must promote, sustain, and advance an environment that supports principles of health literacy. This paper discusses how establishing an Office of Diversity, Inclusion, and Health Literacy is critical to operationalize health literacy across an organization and enhance its viability, focus, and sustainability.

The Regulation Of Compensation Explained
The query as to what precisely constitutes regulation", as a selected social phenomenon, is an important one, but solely within sure methodological limits. Parts 1 and a couple of of this submit examined 9 observations relating to the authorized job market: (1) layoffs; (2) hiring freezes; (3) pay freezes and bonus cuts; (four) elevated bureaucracy in lateral hiring choices; (5) busy small firms; (6) hot follow areas; (7) geographical variance amongst practice areas; (8) a gradual moving hiring process; and (9) importance of legislation faculty grades.
Law has been deployed to elaborate differences between financial organizations (principally companies, partnerships and different entities), political organization (the state, supra-nationwide, international, and non-governmental organizations), spiritual, ethnic and family organization. Located in downtown Houston, house to one of many nation's largest authorized communities, we provide unparalleled entry to internships and job alternatives. Both caselaw and the widespread regulation courts and statute law, as distinct from fairness which has been developed separately from the time of the 13th century. So, so as to entice money to you, you should costume in a approach that makes you look 'rich'.
Worldwide jurists embraced new scientific theories akin to economic liberalism and positivism and mentioned goodbye to the pure regulation as an interpretative paradigm. Of scholarship that critically addresses key issues and theoretical debates in comparative and transnational regulation. As a starting definition that is useful, as an indisputable basis upon which to start an analysis, but it clearly can't give us a correct definition of law is. A specialized dictionary masking phrases used in the various branches of the authorized occupation, as civil law, felony legislation, and company legislation.
Recent research has taken vital steps in direction of investigating the development of worldwide law within the period before 1870, for instance, by highlighting its contribution to the abolition of the slave commerce and slavery, the influence of political economy, the function of the Holy Alliance and the growth of international maritime regulation and warfare.
In case you stay in a state where it's time to your child assist to finish on a number of of your youngsters, contact Child Help Enforcement to make an official request to switch or discontinue the help order at the least 60 days previous to the date. So essentially, since bars are already coated by the 51% law and it is already illegal for a license holder to hold whereas intoxicated, the hypothetical state of affairs of drunk faculty youngsters operating round and capturing one another is a nonissue. It is because you carry a damaging vitality which can repel any positive vitality from coming your approach from the universe. Defining regulation as social regulation with a authorized character does look like tautological.

Rarely has gender parity in sport been so freaking fun!
New England Women of Strength (N.E.W.S.) has a deep sister tie with the Next Level and PhysiQademy, and what this incredibly fun organization brings to the world of competition in New England (and arguably across the country) is irreplaceable and exciting.
And today – 2-22 – is considered "N.E.W.S. Day." The organization is one year old and started from the dreams of a few women – most notably Gina Melnik and Gina Cravedi – to have an organization that helps promote and gather into meaningful community the women who love lifting and competing in strength competition.
What started as a fun idea has literally exploded, and seems to have no prediction of slowing up! Which proves two things simultaneously: a lot more women – like A FREAKING LOT more – are interested in serious, hardcore lifting for it's own enjoyment than the "industry" and the popular pundits might have you believe. And also this is proof that the need for vibrant, active (and fun) community among such women was long over due.
It's beyond us why it is so hard for some cave-dwellers to understand that women might enjoy heavy lifting for it's own sake, as opposed to only as a means to some appearance end-goal. That attitude is a myth, and under the mighty (and fun – did we mention fun?) charge of N.E.W.S., such thinking will grow gradually more extinct in lifting communities. It's not so much that the women "have arrived" as it is that they always belonged but were perhaps more marginalized in lifting sports than most noticed.
N.E.W.S. offers these words of encouragement and suggestion for N.E.W.S. Day:
Consider doing something special this week to honor N.E.W.S. Day, Feb 22nd. (E.g., Learn something new related to training or sports nutrition, share your own knowledge/experience with someone that wants to learn from you, build strongwoman community, try a new event or go after a new PR during training, set a new goal and make a plan to go after it, fire up your passions by doing something that inspires you to be a better athlete...)
What will you do?
Well, I, for one, know I am now ready to go attack the best thing in life!
Happy Birthday, N.E.W.S.!

How Did We Win? With Guns – and Other Things by Kevin Kelly
On this 241st birthday of the United States of America, we remember the toil and blood it took for this nation's first citizens to guard its independence. That toil and blood required use of the most modern weaponry of the late 18th century from pistols and grenades to bayonets and long rifles. A common argument among those who believe that we need more gun control today is that our own versions of these weapons are too obsolete to mount a meaningful rebellion.
At first glance it would seem that they are right. Suppose our government did become an oppressive authoritarian regime like the government of King George III, or worse. Then what chance would a rag-tag militia armed only with pistols, assault rifles and maybe rocket launchers stand against the tanks, fighter jets, bomber planes and nuclear bombs that our current government possesses?
However, that visualization greatly misses the point. If George Washington and his newly-formed Continental Army had only guns and bayonets at their disposal, the British would've swiftly crushed them. They needed to make use of their several other assets to win the war and our independence. We will explore them here, and we will use the Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan from 1979 to 1988 as a parallel example.
- Geography
This one's a given. The area of colonial America massively outsized that of England, and of course the Continentals knew the American landscape best. This not only gave the American forces plenty of escape room and forced the British to stretch their military resources. It also made the British subject to many surprise attacks and maneuvers. The Continental militias would often attack the imperial troops and then retreat into the forests nearby. General Nathanael Greene used America's geographical expanse to pick off and exhaust the pursuing British led by Lord Cornwallis before drawing him to defeat in Yorktown.
This is similar to the situation of the Soviets' war in Afghanistan, except of course that it involved a much smaller country and far more advanced weaponry. The USSR, despite being stocked with planes, helicopters, tanks and bombs, couldn't compete with the mujahedeens' knowledge of the mountainous terrain. No matter how much the Soviets pounded their mountain hideouts with artillery and aerial fire, they never were able to root out the rebels fighting against their communist allies in Kabul.
2. Alliances
We all know that the French helped us end the Revolutionary War by blocking Lord Cornwallis' escape to sea from Yorktown with their fleet. But they did very much more than that. They provided much-needed weapons, training and soldiers as well. That's not to mention the contribution of Major General Marquis de Lafayette in leading the Continental army under Washington and lobbying his home country to give their assistance. The rebels also had help from Spain and the Netherlands later in the war.
Despite not having any help in the battlefield against the Soviets, the mujahedeen had many friends on the outside. Among them were the US, the UK, China, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. Because Afghanistan was a front in the Cold War, we naturally provided a great deal covert aid to the mujahedeen through the CIA. This aid was given as about 65,000 tons of arms – and 700 million dollars – per year by 1987.
3. Popular support
Any rebellion needs a good base of support among the people to be successful. Historian Robert M. Calhoon estimates that between 15 to 20 percent of white male colonists were Loyalists while 40 to 45 percent were Patriots. According to U.S. News and World Report, between 5,000 to 7,000 blacks fought with the Patriots, despite being outnumbered by their counterparts on the British side by at least three thousand. Blacks at the time made up about 20 percent of the population. Taken together, this means that the revolutionary cause enjoyed widespread support across the states. This support allowed the Continental Army and militias to receive food, shelter, supplies and even intelligence from civilians all around the country.
In Afghanistan, the communist government in Kabul being propped up by the Soviets was unpopular. One reason for this was that communist ideology is antithetical to religion. Despite the assurances of the Soviet-backed Marxist President Karmal that he would respect Islam, the deeply Muslim Afghans were not convinced. The various tribes and factions of the country united under the banner of Islam and thus confronted the communists with a force of popularity incapable of being contained.
- Attainment of heavy arms
The Continental military knew that they needed heavy artillery to confront the military might of British. This need was answered in part with the Green Mountain Boys' capture of Fort Ticonderoga, which was used as a depot of mortars, howitzers and cannons for the British. These were later moved by the Americans to Boston, where Washington put them to use during the siege and eventual capture of the city. They also obtained these weapons from their French allies.
The mujahedeen received such heavy weapons from the US as the FIM-92 Stinger missile, which was fired from the shoulder and hampered the Soviet army's helicopters in the mountains of Afghanistan.
- Training
The militia, despite how effective they were in guerilla warfare, were not known for their discipline or courage in the open battlefield. Congress needed to raise an army of professional soldiers that could meet the seasoned British Redcoats in combat. The Prussian Baron Friedrich von Steuben is well-known for his role as a drillmaster for the Continental army, whipping the gaggle of mostly untrained farmers into a formidable fighting force.
Pakistan's secret service, the ISI, provided training to the mujahideen in their fight against the USSR. Because they too were against the Soviets' incursion into the neighboring country, they gave the Afghan militants a safe haven in which they could receive training and then return across the border when ready.
Like the British in the American Revolutionary War, the Soviets in Afghanistan were eventually defeated due to all of these factors helping the rebels. But would any of them have mattered had the American and Afghan rebels not been in possession of any firearms? That's clearly improbable.
So yes, it's true that a few average untrained neighborhood guys won't have much chance at all against a modern advanced military. That's not a reason, however, to take their guns away. It's a reason to let them keep their guns so they can be used in complement with the factors described above, should the unlikely but real possibility of the need for a new rebellion ever come.
Therefore, in celebrating our nation's birthday today, we should also celebrate our right to bear arms as is spelled out in the 2nd Amendment of our cherished Constitution.

It's 1989. I'm 14 years old. Half way up the Grand Canyon. My brother and two cousins are a good distance ahead of us. My mom is struggling. "I need one of those mules," she says.
"I'm not going to make it," she says. Groups of people that had opted to take a mule-guided tour kept passing us. There were no riderless mules that she could catch a ride back up the canyon with. So she pressed on. It wasn't pretty but we made it. Though not without a good dose of regret. "I should have known better. I should have gotten the mule." She still talks about that trip to this day.
For hundreds of years mules have helped people with tedious back-breaking work. If you're reading this now - chances are that's not the type of work you do. So while fighting through the fear and physical exertion required to make it the top of the Grand Canyon without the help of a mule at least has the upside of building character, pushing personal boundaries, and overcoming fear - doing repetitive mindless busy work while sitting in a cubicle does none of these. We should know - we used to do that work every day - and as a group we are totally devoid of character and are plagued by fear*.
Anyway - to make a short story long, we built the Mule because we needed to. We were making the same reports. Day after day after !@#$%^&* day. Nathan said - there has to be a better way. Cody said - trust me, we've looked, there isn't. I agreed with her. Nathan said - fine I'll build it myself. And he did.
*Don't judge.
Report Mule is a DIY utility to help you put reports together yourself. If you're interested in the professional services company that's behind Report Mule - at ITK Information Services we create media monitoring reports for companies which have a significant amount of press coverage on a daily basis. Fun? Yeah... we love what we do. And so do our clients.

4 Ways I Traveled - Chinese Bus Tours (Part 1)Suppose taking a trip is as simple as confirming travel plans, packing bags, and flying to a new city in a new country. Forget all the other nuances like deciding what the best places to eat are, which hotel would be the most ideal, or where the most popular attractions are. Does such an easy way of exploring really exist?
Traveling abroad can be really daunting. Potential problems vary depending on the destination in mind. If I go somewhere foreign, will people there speak or at least understand English? How much universal sign language and hand-flapping should I brush up on? What kinds of transportation are there to take? Which is the cheapest and safest?
Of course, these sorts of scenarios shouldn't ever keep anyone from gallivanting through the big world we call Earth. Our phones are a great resource nowadays. If not, the good old trusty travel guide books are a safe bet as well. Otherwise, the simplest answer for those who are hesitant of their own abilities and prefer a guided experience is a bus tour. This is the preferred method for my mom and many other older immigrants who haven't really traveled much before and have in recent years had the capabilities and wish to do so. It is also the solution to the biggest hurdle that might stop them from actually booking the trip: language.
I cannot attest to all bus tours because there probably are many different styles and many different price points within the travel category itself. My experiences mentioned here are going to be specific to Chinese budget bus tours abroad.
These are the kind of tours that are booked mostly through a travel agent at one of the many Chinese travel agencies that are open in the Chinatowns throughout the world. (Yes, I am going to make that bold statement because all the fellow bus tour members I have met in Thailand, Taiwan, and China did, in fact, come from all over the world. Whether they were from the USA, Canada, Australia, or Malaysia they all found their way to where we were because of a travel agency in their respective Chinatowns.) Somehow, the deals are always undeniably captivating: BOGO Free, BOGO 50%, ~$200 roundtrip flight to Asia + food + room & board + mandatory tour around Shanghai and neighboring cities, etc.
When promotions sound like that, how could one possibly resist? Sometimes a couple hundred dollars could land a person thousands of miles away. Participants don't have much to worry about since tour guides almost always speak Chinese, whether Cantonese or Mandarin varies and English is a plus not a must for tour guides. Everyone is bussed from one location to the next. Hotel and food are already part of the itinerary and mostly paid for. What a steal and it is headache-free!
Tallest buildings. Longest structures. Natural glories. Man-made beauties. Museums. Memorials. Floating markets. Night markets. Bangkok. Pattaya. Taipei. Hualien. Taitung. Kaohsiung. Tainan. Shanghai. Hangzhou. Wuxi. Nanjing. Suzhou. Beijing. Chengde. Nanjing.
If simply being to the most number of places in one trip is a priority, there is probably nothing like what the bus tour could offer. No matter if the tour is 6 days, 7 days, or 8 days, the sheer quantity of places and cities the tours can manage to fit in the itinerary is praiseworthy. On days where it was attraction-heavy, the guides would take us to 3+ photo-worthy spots. Other days, it may be one attraction and a bunch of shopping stops in addition to the travel time needed to reach a new city that is hundreds of miles away.
The places on the travel itinerary are usually ones that are relatively famous and/or tourist hotspots. The Grand Palace in Bangkok, Great Wall in Beijing, Taipei 101 in Taipei, and West Lake in Hangzhou. Sometimes it was to a lesser traveled to yet historically significant and interesting sights nonetheless. The Shakadang Trail in Hualien and Mountain Resort in Chengde. Regardless, the common point across all tours, no matter the country it is in, is the limited amount of time spent at all the attractions. The reason is pretty obvious. The only way to be able to visit all the places and see so much in a limited timeframe is by sacrificing the chance to slowly absorb the surrounds and move around at a relaxing pace. It is a tight line that tours usually try to stretch so attendees don't feel like they aren't getting their money's worth in terms of sights that are seen.
Shows and performances on the itineraries are interesting, for a lack of a better word at this moment. Cultural recitals, drag shows, and tease shows in Thailand and acrobatic shows in Beijing. It is a difficult topic to explain in a way without being contradictory. Having to go to performances that I had no say in picking keeps me open to other cultures. Yes, it is (usually) a representation of their customs and lifestyles and definitely unique from what I would ever get to normally see. But a majority of the performances we were taken to were filled to the brim with only other Chinese tourists. The shows were lacking the authenticity of the local art and culture that I would personally prefer. Something that people who live there are excited to see and give praise to instead of something that is more-or-less manufactured to profit from outsiders with.
The greatest and worst thing that comes with bus tours is the bus itself. Greatest because if anyone is the type, like me, that can fall asleep anywhere, the bus rides will add countless hours of naps to your schedule. Which is great because wake up calls are usually pretty early in the morning. Buses can be the best because there is no worrying about safety and transportation and money, just make sure your butt is with the rest of the group when the bus is ready to get a rollin'. Then there is the bad because not all buses or tours are the same. Some vehicles might have tons of leg room while others have barely any (which is saying a lot because I am a short girl). Some tour groups are larger than others (buh-bye double seats). Then there is the absolute worst because most of the time anyone spends on a tour is on the bus itself. Whether it is being driven 30+ minutes between stops or 2+ hours to reach the next city on the trip, your butt is in for a long long ride.
Food is one of the main reasons I travel; being able to eat and taste things that I wouldn't normally try or be able to try at home is a big driver. But on bus tours, food is more of an afterthought. All of the tour guides I met all joked that food on the tours were not to taste good but to survive on; it would not be anything particularly outstanding, just edible. What this actually meant was lots of buffet food from the hotel or family style Chinese stir-fried meals. Hungry, I was not. Yet I didn't get to taste very many local delicacies outside of what the hotel buffet line had to offer. Again, it is just an issue I personally have with authenticity to the local culture versus something tailored towards a foreign visitor. Why would I travel to a place like Beijing, Shanghai, Thailand, or Taiwan to have southern style Chinese food? The 2 exceptions to the buffet and southern-style Chinese food meals were once when the Beijing tour included a Peking Duck dinner and once when the Taiwan tour included a street-food themed sit-down meal.
As everyone's preferences are different, so are the way food is fit into tour itineraries. Some would include time at markets so that travelers could walk around and buy local snacks for the bus ride. Others would organize night market time as a dinner replacement. Certain occasions the guides would upsell meals after the included meals so that they could bring you to a "special local spot" for things like turtle soup in Taiwan or shark fin soup in Thailand.
Shopping stops are the single most shocking experience across all the tours. There were many stops to buy jewels, jade, pearls, tea leaves, teapots, animal-skinned goods, silk bedding, and dried fruits and candies. I had mentally prepared myself to fight off the temptations of just wanting things that look nice. I also readied to dissuade my mom from doing the same. Yet the tactics and sheer numbers of shopping stops got the best of us. There is always something that looks too good to resist. Case in point for me, local food and snacks.
I should clarify what these "shopping shops" are first in order to paint the full picture. The budget tours are so glaringly cheap because of the various sponsors who probably negotiate deals with travel agencies to provide food and hotel in exchange for customers who would be willing to buy a lot of stuff at their establishments. Establishments which aren't really open to the general public, from what I could tell. They are usually in seemingly remote places where the only other people you'd see, besides the employees, were tons of other bus tour groups members. The main goals of these shopping stops were so the sponsors would basically earn back the "investment" they made on the travelers. The better way of putting this would be to say they offer good prices for luxury goods to visitors.
There have been shows and reports, especially in Asia, that talk of how sometimes the establishment would force travelers to buy things before they can pass the doors to leave. I can say that I mostly didn't experience that particular style of sales on the tours but what I saw could be almost on par. The more typical approach was to offer steep promotions. Sometimes manager types would offer freebies as a way to entice. Then the penultimate maneuver is the story.
Oh, the power of a story! Each busload of people is usually brought into their own rooms with their own manager to explain the various kinds of things that they sell. Then there is the noteworthy "this is the one and only of it's kind," the strategic "best and safest investment," or the sympathy-inducing "I didn't really want to work for the family business but my dad is ill so here I am" scenarios that happen all too frequently. When the story is paired with the freebies or steep promotions, or better yet both, that is when the magic happens. Something in the minds of the people turns them into customers. The ability to make someone believe in something that may or may not be true is really something else. The sponsors and the guides bank on the affirmation that the formula works and that all bus groups are separate from beginning to end so the stories are never shared until it is too late. Now whether to call this a form of forcing is probably arguable. Saying it is the power of a story is being nice. Calling it deceit is the extreme.
Earlier I mentioned "I mostly didn't experience any forcing to purchase" because there is one scenario where it did sort of happen to a certain degree. At a shopping stop, there were only a few couples and families purchasing. A majority didn't see a need for the product or had particular excellent self-control that occasion. Many sales girls stood around with no sales to make. Despite the lack of interest, our tour guide hadn't suggested we leave any earlier. So we stood and sat around. Perhaps a manager noticed and started pushing a bit. While travelers who came as pairs were able to shrug off the advances more easily, a big group didn't fare the pestering as well and eventually gave into buying and all was well for everyone else. The reasoning? If enough people buy enough things, it would cover for what the non-buyers did not spend.
Yet with all that said, I don't think I want to completely condemn the idea of these Chinese budget bus tours. It is definitely not my preferred style of traveling: the time spent on the bus, the time wasted for me at the shopping stops, and the low freedom to roam. However, it is extremely difficult to deny how cheap it is. While the included tour is mandatory, it is still possible to get away with buying a very limited amount of things. It is especially easy if you don't speak Chinese or don't look Chinese. In exchange for the tour, the flight tickets are usually open for a long period of time; if holiday time allows the shopping tour does not have to be the only destination! I met a couple who took advantage of the cheap package price to also stop in Hong Kong for a week or so for their honeymoon. My mom and I, on the other hand, utilized the air ticket as a way to go to not only Hong Kong, but also my families' hometowns in Southern China, Japan, Singapore, and Korea all in one go. Hint, how there can be 3 more parts to this series to come.

Blogging for free is like writing Open Source software
April 15, 2011 1 Comment
As some of you may already know there's a class action lawsuit against Arianna Huffington and AOL underway, filed by a group of HuffPost bloggers who think they're owed up to $100 million for the money that Mrs Huffington made after selling the Huffington Post to AOL.
The merits and basis of the case are shaky at best but it's an interesting situation nonetheless.
In any case, I liked how GigaOm compared writing Open Source software with blogging for free, and I think that it's a relevant comparison, even if not perfect.
The analogy with writing for outlets like Huffington Post isn't perfect, but it has a lot of similarities. As founder Arianna Huffington noted in her response to the Tasini lawsuit, writers for the site maintain the rights to their content; in other words, they can post it wherever they like, and make money from it in other ways if they wish. The site also doesn't collect money from those who read this freely-submitted content, although it does make money from the ads that run alongside the content.
In a similar way, there are companies such as MySQL — which was acquired by Sun Microsystems for $1 billion in 2008 — that are corporate entities, even though much of what they sell is based on open-source software. Red Hat has built a billion-dollar business on support and other services related to open-source software. One could argue that The Huffington Post does something similar: it produces its own content, but it also aggregates and distributes free content, and that is a value-added service.
And there will always be people who are willing to write for free — whether they are doing it on their own blogs, for Wikipedia, or for a site like The Huffington Post — just as there will always be people who are willing to create open-source software. Would it nice if everyone could get paid a handsome salary for everything they do? Sure. But one of the strengths of the web is that it allows other methods of compensation to flourish, and the HuffPo is just another example of that in action.

Lokmanya Tilak Municipal Medical College and General (Sion) Hospital becomes first government hospital in Mumbai to get Autism Intervention Centre. It was inaugurated on December 20 at hospital's Urban Health Centre.
"It is a first-of-its-kind Autism Intervention Centre in government hospital where severe and mild-moderate autism children can avail of multimodal treatment at reasonable cost. There are many private centres in Mumbai, but autism children of economically-weaker sections cannot afford them. So, we decided to set-up this centre," said Dr Mona P Gajre, in charge of Paediatric Neurodevelopmental Centre, Sion Hospital.
Centre will function six days a week, from 9am to 5pm. "At this centre, a team from occupational department comprising Dr Sushant Sarang and Dr Rashmi Yeradkar will provide occupational therapy where self-care activities will be taught. Speech and language therapy will help in improving a child's communication and conversational skills," said Gajre.
Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder affecting development of brain in children. Autism is common in India, affecting all strata of society, with a high prevalence of about 1 in every 250 children being affected. Every year, hospital receives 80-90 cases of autistic children.
Centre has capacity of handling 40-50 children. Apart from usual therapies, it also has audio-video assisted technology for better learning.
"Autistic children can improve significantly with proper training and therapy. We will have a team of experts who will observe their development," added Gajre.
Centre will also conduct autism awareness workshops for school teachers, parents and community leaders with an aim to create acceptance and integration of this condition in society.
"It is observed that these children are good with technology. Keeping this in mind, with help of videos, a child will be taught basic numeric, alphabets and poems," said Gajre.
Centre is funded by Warke's Hi Media laboratories through CSR activities.
"Mission of our department is to ensure that every child gets optimal care and our vision is to provide quality care to all. Autism spectrum disorder needs comprehensive team care, which will now be made available to all children," said Dr Mamta Manglani, Professor and Head of the Department of Paediatrics, Sion hospital.

BEANO and DANDY, for all their quirky creativity during the 'glory years' of the 50s/60s decades, were printed on poor-quality newsprint up until around 1988, when glossier paper stock entered the fold. Presumably the use of lower-grade paper kept the costs down during the mass-production of the 1950s, when copies of BEANO hit the almighty 2 million-mark: however, readers were treated to glossier delights --at least within the BEANO/DANDY releases, in 1963, which saw the release of the first-ever SUMMER SPECIAL, basically assembled from existing summer-themed artwork from the two comic titles......this amalgamation of the two comics in a one-off 'special' was put together by future SPARKY editor Ian Chissolm.

I, just want to take the time out and thank you all for following me on my journey, as I have shared some of the most private details in my life, in which I have just come to grips in sharing with the public. My life has been met with many obstacles, trials and tribulations, defeats and victories, but at the end of it all, it has been a learning experience and a motivating factor in helping me to strive for the best for my latter self, and most importantly my children. "Life is short and you only have one to live", is one of the most frequently used adages that is becoming quite popular now, as us once high school kids, are now pushing our early to middle thirties and some of us are parents.
My stories that I have shared with you have provided three purposes. The first purpose was an outlet for me. As mentioned earlier it has been hard for me to come to grips in sharing my stories. I have given you all a piece of me by allowing you into my heart, mind, and soul. The second purpose of me sharing my stories with you is in hopes of being some one's strength to draw from. To let anyone, know that if they have been or are going through the same struggles in which I have shared from my stories that they are not alone. If someone can read my life experiences that I have shared and use it as a sense of motivation, a driving force in their life to know that through the storm there lies a rainbow, I felt I have done my purpose. The events that I have shared with you has only been a sneak peek into my life. There is much more that I have finally found the strength in sharing.
The third and final purpose of my blogs were stepping stones in getting me to be able to write and release a book detailing the events of my life. I felt that in writing short stories about my life and opening myself up a bit at a time free from judgement, that I would share my life's story in its entirety up till the present point.
If you have been following my blogs I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart in instilling the confidence in me, and being my motivation and driving factor to help others. I will keep you posted on the release date of the book, and I can only ask of you to continue to support me in purchasing my memoirs so I may continue to support you and others as well.

As part of Teacher Appreciation Week, we're spotlighting some of the wonderful teachers in MPS!
Positivity and passion are two qualities Rebecca Sweeney says she loves to bring to her work. Rebecca is an Early Childhood Special Education teacher at Hayes Bilingual School who is wrapping up her second year of teaching and her first year with Milwaukee Public Schools.
"My mother was a high school Spanish teacher, and she was always an inspiration to me," Rebecca shared. "She exudes passion and positivity in her life, which I share and admire. I have always been impressed with how she saw the best in every student, even the most challenging ones."
Rebecca grew up in Shorewood and credits her AP English teacher, Mr. Wiswall, for helping her to be prepared for college. "He had a great sense of humor, helped me gain a deeper appreciation for literature, and prepared me more for college than all of my other teachers combined."
When she is not in the classroom, Rebecca enjoys running, and volunteers with Girls on the Run. She will be a Running Buddy for the fourth time this spring. She also loves to travel, and plans to visit Kenya this summer.
Rebecca believes that her most important role as a teacher is to build positive relationships. She is fond of a quote by Maya Angelou that sets the tone for her work with her students: "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

Saudi Gazette report
Riyadh — The Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) will now issue e-bills on the 28th of each Gregorian month.
The move follows a royal decree issued earlier this month according to which utility bills should only be issued after the payment of monthly salaries to government staff on 27th of each Gregorian month.
The SEC will also stop issuing paper bills starting this month.
Electricity bills can be accessed on SEC's electronic channels, including the company's website (se.com.sa), through its app, SMS services, and through registered email.
Enquiries about e-bills can also be made through customer service number 920001100, according to Chairman of the SEC Subscribers Services sector Eng. Sultan Al-Matrafi.
Earlier this year, the Saudi Electricity Company launched a series of modern electronic channels to facilitate and speed up the process of communication with subscribers through WhatsApp (0533991100), Twitter (alkahrabafriend), Alkahrabacare subscriber account, subscriber service center (920001100), SMS (500120), website (se.com.sa), and app.
The SEC also signed a deal with Japanese Tokyo Electric Power Co (TEPCO), Nissan Motor Co and Takaoka Toko for the first electric vehicle (EV) pilot project.
Under the agreement, fast-charger stations will be developed to charge EVs in 30 minutes. SEC will borrow three EVs from Nissan while TEPCO and Takaoka Toko will provide three fast chargers. Such a move is part of the company's strategy to reduce reliance on oil and cut emissions, SEC said in a statement.

We've surveyed and assessed more than 35,000 leaders from thousands of companies across more than 100 countries, and found that 73% of leaders feel distracted from their current task either "some" or "most" of the time.
We also found that 67% of leaders describe their minds as cluttered, which means they have a lot of thoughts and a lack of clear priorities. As a result, 65% of respondents fail to complete their tasks. The biggest sources of distraction are: demands of other people (26%); competing priorities (25%); general distractions (13%); and too big of a workload (12%). Not surprisingly, 96% of leaders we surveyed said that "enhanced focus" would be valuable or extremely valuable.

British lags are using new online dating site to try and meet a partner (but not many reveal why they're banged up)
Prison Dating has both male and female lags looking for love from behind bars
A DATING website has been launched to help British lags in their quest to find love from behind bars.
Prison Dating calls itself the "future of online dating" and claims it is "tailored to particular interests, hobbies, or clearly specified member needs".
The website boasts both male and female lags looking for love and even features pictures of the prisoners seemingly taken from behind bars.
Users can upload profile pictures of themselves and create a profile based on their interests and backgrounds to attract a new partner.
They can even specify what their perfect first date would involve and whether they'd like kids.

Some even go as far as to tell potential lovers when their release date is – although most avoid the subject of why they've ended up in jail.
A user going by the name of 'bigpetep' says he is "single male" with two and a half years left in prison.
Do you know any of the prisoners looking for love? Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 0207 782 4368
One profile – under the name of Jacko – says he is a "care free guy" who likes to "drink and socialise".
He describes himself as six foot two and states his perfect first date would be a "meal then maybe a walk round a park".
His idea of fun is "going to a theme park all day" before going for something to eat and a club.
Some inmates are even more direct posting their prison address, complete with cell and block, on the site.
The website claims to be part of "the fastest growing co-operative of online-dating sites in the world".
It claims to have helped "many single female and male prisoners to find a date online".
The website goes on: "Obviously the nature of this site and the vast majority of those people on it mean that this is not your average dating site.
"But just because your situation may dictate that you cannot just go out on a date tonight, that does not mean that you can be denied the opportunity to find romance and happiness - and that is where our site comes in.
"In fact, many of our members are more than happy to be patient and wait to meet to meet the person that they have become friendly with.
"We have already helped many single prisoners from all over the UK to find companionship, both with single men and women on the outside but also with other single prisoners.
"We even have a lot of members on our site that are ex prisoners but who would very much like to meet others that have either been in their situation and understand prison life or those who are still in jail."
It comes after we revealed the first British inmate has signed up with American site Inmate Connection.
Gregory Dike, who is serving 11 years for armed robbery at HMP Dovegate in Staffordshire, has appeared on the site described as a "relaxed open-minded male" with a "great personality".
Inmate Connection, a website based in the United States, allows prisoners to advertise themselves – as well as their crimes – on the web in an attempt to find friendship, and if they're lucky, a romantic relationship.
Sun Online has contacted the Ministry of Justice for comment.

It is like an old tape recording. You can't do that because....
I am working on a short series on health care issue videos. It has been a struggle. I have everything I need to put it together. Equipment, software and I can't complain about time; I have plentyof time on the weekends.
It has been a struggle. I fix one problem and then I discover two more.
I fix those problems and find out the sound is crap. I pull out the expensive microphone and do it all over again. Still crap. I get another microphone and it is better.
Then I look at all of the infographic videos created with After Effects. I almost want to give up. I'm not an After Effects expert and dont'want to be. I'm just trying to tell a story with words, graphic and audio. It is crazy to think that I can do this but it hurts more if I don't try.
If I could just strangle the internal voice of doom. In the meantime I plod along and hope that I can make a working prototype soon.
