Salon: The GOP's new holy land: How libertarianism is changing the face of the Republican Party
Silicon Valley vanities demand a focus on the future. But the entrepreneurs and code writers attending San Francisco's Reboot 2014 this week would be wise to note the past of the conference's Libertarian sponsors as they and other right-wing Republicans are seeking to rebrand the GOP—in California and nationally.

Looking at my join date, it's only taken 8 years...
Here are some more images:
This new year's eve, I had to throw my gear together after returning from Melbourne for family Christmas and head out to Horseshoe bend, in the Little Dessert National Park to go camping with my...
I know there are pages of reading, I want to know how *this* list of materials is intended to be attached together. I've moved and mainly only get internet through my phone now, as well as not having...
With this equipment list, how do you suspend the top rail from the hinge?
two more "knots" that get mentioned around here a lot:
Marlin spike hitch and larkshead knot.
"back to the lab" - yep!
"practice at home" - tough when there is no trees... :(
Great responses everyone! I'll definitely have to get into it again. The weather is cooling down here and...
So, this is embarrassing.
Hammocks have been my hobby since high school. As I went through university I would spend ages on the forum, procrastinating about this and that and dreaming about...
the reason they cost more than a hammock (and also the tarps more than the hammock, if you're buying those separate) is the cost of the materials (good quality stuff, light stuff can be spendy) and...
Soft shackle: http://l-36.com/soft_shackle_9.php
bottom half as a bugnet means you lose some/most of the benefits of a sock- a water resistant /wind proof under.
a larkshead is really easy to undo and re do. Just push the long end back through the loop of the knot.
What tarp is that? :) OES standard maccat?
have PM'd some mods- we'll just have to wait until one of them logs on and cleans it all up
Those photos are great! :)
Hey Derek could you please link to that blog post?
I tried your website just now and got a "error establishing database connection"
Thanks for this Dejoha!
Request time: I really want to see one of these with a tarp set up- and the UQ.
four things you'll need:
1) a tarp. This is actually the shelter bit.
2) Tree straps. these are so important- 1 inch at least wide, used to attach hammock to the tree (with whatever bits of...
Shug should get one. Then it would be a shug rug.
or pick one up when you're over there?
woah woah- Melbourne Australia and afraid daughter being stolen?? And closing every door/window?
Time to get some security screens!
the ground pad you have should work, but you might get cold shoulders, where the hammock wraps up and touches you. Google ENO hotspot for a solution to that problem.
Dan S- what I call my winter rig is probably not that 'winter' - definitely not in Northern Hemisphere terms!
Theoretically the old rag mountain quilt I have is good at 5-10F (I think- Jacks...
rtroost I think there is some sort of form to fill out for the state parks guys- a survey of some sort. (have a look through the thread)
1. Sleep on a diagonal
2. You will need some sort of under insulation- on the outside of the hammock if it's crushable insulation (like down)
3. Check out theultimatehang.com and shug's...
if you can get them, merino (wool) long johns are pretty good. Or just some 'thermals' from an outdoors store, maybe 5-10 $ ?
moisture wicking is good- remember it's your body that we need to...
remember that's 11ft curved, not 11ft in a straight line.
Should be groovy. :)
synthetic UQ might be what you want? Try arrowheadequipment.com
except that they have popularised it and it's hard to separate the two in my mind.
Technically you don't NEED an underquilt, but some form of insulation. Eno Hotspot is a commercially available way of extending your pad that is based on the Speer Pad extender.
You can get by...
if you choose to not use it as a hammock, it should be great downproof material as it is calendared (correct me if I'm wrong, anybody!)
speer pad extender- give your pad wings so it stays and your shoulders don't get cold. I believe ENO sell these as a Hot spot.
this will work. Search for sleeping bag mod, or get one that already has holes in it, or fashion a sling for the bag.
You might need a blanket inside the hammock as well.
my gear isn't the best or light, but my weights are in the signature, further details in my profile.
get someone you trust (a lot!) to feel around for air gaps while you lie in the hammock. The bag should be snug up to the hammock body in all places.
You could contact Paul at Arrowhead and see if he'd make some supersize flamethrower socks for you?
as mentioned before, you need the circumference of your sock to be right: half of this is your hammock body, (the top half is normally air) and so double your hammock body width + a little to figure...
I use skins for the "not having a tarp blowing around like crazy when I'm tying it to a tree" factor- the extra weight penalty i can take. I put mine back into the stuff sack.
hang next to each other under the same tarp (so the two suspensions on the trees looks like |o| )
so you can check on him and make sure he's still warm. Make sure he's got suitable under...
if you want just one quilt:
make a summer weight and supplement it with a pad/IX/etc.
make a winter weight and 'open the windows' during summer. (meaning have it not so snug)
yes, 1.1 will work. It will be a bit stretchy than 1.9 (or 1.4) but should hold your weight. Some people like the stretchy, others don't. If you want, try getting twice as much and making a double...
No extra hardware needed- just get some webbing straps (ratchet straps?)
two bags? unzip one and tie it up under your hammock (or put it in some kind of undercover like a garlington insulator (www.garlington.biz/Ray/HammockInsulator/Insulator.htm)) and use the other...
Well, we have whoopie slings- but they are for something different. We try for a family friendly atmosphere here, so that's why it's not discussed. Years ago this was much discussed over at...
oooh, good point about the webbing.
try both, though I'm thinking more sag. Also, lay on a diagonal to the center line. The ridge line is just to make it less hassle- but you can vary the sag without one.
shrineclown, I believe this is referring to the footbox over the ridgeline- does it kick left or right, rather than what side you lay on (though of course it changes which side means you're pointing...
sorry to hear that!
Remember also, to quote Shug: whoopie goes on the knot, not the toggle!
nylon stretches. Use poly. 4 foot might be a bit short?
If you're using Dutch's system, you should be able to get it all from his website as an all in one?
Pav - the Garlington insulator is designed to hold other insulation- he experimented with bags of air, bags with crinkled space blankets in bags, (trapped air= warmth) and with a 'bag o'feathers' (a...
That's a garlington insulator! : ) (precursor to underquilts, basically.)

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. -- These are challenging times for video in the supermarket trade. That was the clear consensus of participants in the roundtable discussion on supermarket video held during the East Coast Video Show here. Harding's Friendly Markets, Plainwell, Mich. Because video makes up between 1% and 1.5% of the company's total business, "it just is not the priority that it needs to be for us to move forward," he said. "I think the biggest challenge is education," said Ed Sam, ...

Skip to comments.James Holmes - Cops Investigating Sex Site Profile
Posted on 07/20/2012 6:48:14 PM PDT by Free ThinkerNY
A man claiming to be James Holmes created a profile on a popular sex website just days before "The Dark Knight Rises" massacre ... in which he described his penis as "short/average" ... and law enforcement sources tell TMZ investigators are now looking at the site to determine its authenticity.
"Holmes" created the profile on AdultFriendFinder.com July 5 -- and included a picture of himself with reddish, orange hair ... just as officials in Aurora, CO said he looked when he was apprehended Friday morning.
"Holmes" -- who used the screen name classicjimbo -- included a cryptic message on the top of the profile which reads, "Will you visit me in prison?"
In his profile, "Holmes" says he's 6'0" and single ... with an athletic body. Note -- the FBI says Holmes is 6'3".
"Holmes" describes himself as a "light/social drinker" ... but in the section where he's asked if he smokes or does drugs, he answered, "I'd prefer not to say."
(Excerpt) Read more at tmz.com ...
He looks like a homosexual.
The boy looks and sounds like "prepetual student" material to me. He's never cut it in the TEA Party though. ABC's Brian Ross is a moron.
Well we know it wasn't John Holmes.
I disagree. He looks like the average TeaPartier. The hair color just confirms it.
(Channeling Brian "Objective Reporter" Ross)
I just hope these guys have the right person this time. Otherwise someone is in for some major embarrassment.
You are right he is not Tea Party material.
But he could be occupy material.
LOL! Maybe he's John's little brother.
it's definitely the same dude. Sounds like a sexually frustrated loner. Should've gone to a massage parlor or gone to backpage.com
Verrrrrry little.
Unemployed grad student into group sex and drugs, I'm betting this guy is OWS
On a hot summer night, in a jail cell somewhere in Colorado, Bubba reads Holmes' sex profile on TMZ — and waits.
There's probably 5,000 people in America named James Holmes. Right now I'd hate to be any one of them.
If he is a flaming red-orange homosexual then he is one of them liberals.
Have they released a mug shot image yet?
I'm sure his tweets would reveal some things. I just don't know his twitter account.
Something tells me he's not a Sarah Palin supporter.
Wow Drudge says he was collecting unemployment.
So maybe this is all Obama's fault!
'..these sorts of shenanigans'.
LOL....more here:
You can bet he is an Obama voter.
Statement by OccupyDenver:
"We have circulated this mans photo throughout our internal Occupy Denver discussion groups. No one knows the shooter or has ever seen him. It is important to note that this tragedy is not a left/right issue, and attempts from the extreme right wing blogs to link this tragedy to Occupy are unfounded, irresponsible and irreverent to those who are suffering, or lost their lives, from this act of violence."
Hmmmm. So the far left blames Sarah Palin for the Tucson shooting, but suddenly it's a different story for this one: "not a left/right issue."
Notice his tag: "Will you visit me in prison?"
I've been digging through all the twitter accounts and NOTHING. It might be easier to find him in a WoW forum.
Is this fella on drugs? His eyes look funny in both photos. That orange hair! *shudder*
and wonder what his DUmmy handle was.
Translation: We're pretty sure he's one of our ideological brethren, so please don't make this political (like we would have if he were a Romney supporter).
It very well could be him, but the nose on the left picture is much more pointy
There is a barrel distortion effect in the photo where his face is very close to his cheap webcam, which tends to exaggerate the image from the center out.
I wonder what the picture in the background is of...
Also, I think he has probably screwed up his chances to find a friend.
In the top half of the print on the wall behind him it looks like a face half-black on the left/bottom and half-white on the right/top with two white eyes. Could this be a movie poster of some kind?
Well, that explains it. He met someone online who didn't look at all like the picture she posted and it sent him over the edge. Happens all the time.
I guess that blows the normal, shy, average doctoral student theory. The conspiracy theorists are going crazy already and Chief Oates (sp?) and Gov. Hickenlooper are preparing the ground for anti-gun legislation.
I read at Scientific America the idea that the "mirror neurons" that normally permit empathy and compassion can also permit a troubled person to visualize the pain and agony the wish to inflict. They speculated that the Tucson killer's mind warped in this manner. He is likely reliving and enjoying his kills. This Holmes creep sure was not anxious to die himself. He may have done this purely for the twisted fame and to be able to relive his "exploits".
Orange hair doesn't mean anything. Lots of U/T students have orange hair. That's Tennessee or Texas.
It's all relevent.
To me it means it is ugly. Repulsive.
It looks like Batman to me. It looks like Batman's figure in front of what could be a face. I see the cowl, and it looks like bats swirling around the figure.
I agree. I went to UT in Austin. Then went to Tex A&M and the girls were so much prettier. I never saw any purple hair at A&M
That's one reason I am pushing my kids to go to A&M, plus now that they're in the SEC, they can get me tickets for when the Gators come to College Station.
Yeah, I don't get that.
My sons ex-girlfriend started dying her hair weird colors.
I couldn't figure out why as she had absolutely gorgeous hair!
The purple made her hair look more grey than lavender (blue was the best of the colors).
The only thing I could figure is it looks a bit like that anime stuff or video game characters?
I guess that means I'm old and not hip because I don't get it.
I've become my mother. *sigh*
Orange Hair = the Joker from Batman
Or are you too lazy to read the piece/profile because it would conflict with your predefined reality that he must be a homosexual pervert like the Columbine kids or Jeffrey Dahmer?
As other freepers recognized, since his first appearance in 1940, The Joker has always had GREEN hair including his film appearances.
Why not push your kids to go to U of F?
Need to correct myself. I didn't atttend A&M, I moved there and noticed, naturally, all the pretty co-eds then thought back to U of Tex and the purple haired women.

I am now in a situation which is taking some time to rectify leaving me frustrated, unhappy and feeling like a criminal. i do not know if it is because LITTLEWOODS now have a call centre in AFRICA and i keep getting through to them, I have spent several weeks trying to make them understand what has happened on my account is genuine but they just cannot see the wood for the trees. I purchased a pair of Kicker shoes last… Read Full Review

Like most big comapnies, when things go well everything is ok. The problems arise when things go wrong. Littlewoods are good at 'passing the book' and not sorting problems out. Every problem I have had with Littlewoods has been duplicated orders and carrier problems. I have complained numerous times about the carrier company they use, but there is never an apology or anything. Just at the moment I am having problems regarding the delivery of a Cooker, which for some reason Littlewoods… Read Full Review

From the award-winning author of the Mars Trilogy comes a thrilling new novel....
Kim Stanley Robinson, author of the Hugo and Nebula award-winning Mars trilogy, is one of the most original and visionary writers of fiction today. Now, in his latest novel, he takes us to a harsh, alien landscape covered by a sheet of ice two miles deep. This is no distant planet--it is the last pure wilderness on earth.
A stark and inhospitable place, its landscape poses a challenge to survival; yet its strange, silent beauty has long fascinated scientists and adventurers. Now Antarctica faces an uncertain future. The international treaty that protects the continent is about to dissolve, clearing the way for Antarctica's resources and eerie beauty to be plundered. As politicians and corporations move to determine its fate from half a world away, radical environmentalists carry out a covert campaign of sabotage to reclaim the land. The winner of this critical battle will determine the future for this last great wilderness....
About the Author
Kim Stanley Robinson's Three Californias trilogy -- "The Gold Coast", "The Wild Shore" and "Pacific Edge -- "has been observed as "an intriguing work, one that will delight and entertain you, and, most importantly, cause you to stop and think" ("The Santa Ana Register"). His many other novels include "Escape from Kathmandu" and "Green Mars -- "which won the Hugo and Locus Award for Best Novel.
Praise For…
"Forbidding yet fascinating, like the continent it describes...echoes Jon Krakauer's Into Thin Air."
"[Antarctica] should be included in any short-list of books about the frozen continent....Compelling characters...a rich and dense story...Robinson has succeeded not only in drawing human characters but also in bringing Antarctica to life. Whatever happens in the outer world, Antarctica--both the book and the continent--will become part of the reader's interior landscape."
--The Washington Post Book World
"The epic of Antarctica. This is the James A. Michener novel of the South Pole. If the meaty one-word title didn't give it away, the writing would. The whole human history of the continent is here."
"Antarctica will take your breath away."
--Associated Press
"A gripping tale of adventure on the ice."
--Publishers Weekly
"Passionate, informed...vastly entertaining."
--Kirkus Reviews
"Robinson writes about geography and geology with the intensity and unhurried attention to detail of a John McPhee."
--The New York Times Book Review

my event includes selling sponsorships that include multiple tickets in each package. In other words - an attendee can buy a "gold level sponsorship package" which includes 10 tickets. But if I create "gold level package" as a ticket type, and the person buys it, the next page says "you are purchasing 1 ticket" and then asks for the first/last name of the 1 attendee.
Can I skip this page, so that they go straight from selecting tickets on page 1 to confirmation and pay (page 3)?
alternatively, can I create "packages" in some way, so that if they buy a single package with 10 tickets, it says "you are buying 10 tickets"?
thanks for any help!

Some random thoughts as this presidential election continues to sort itself out.
One: The country will survive. The only nation ever to hold a presidential election during a Civil War has a tradition and respect for the law so strong it will find a way to get past this.
Two: Don't worry about all the rush to get on with the transition. Transitions were no big deal - until the government started paying for them.
Jack Kennedy put together his entire administration in his Georgetown home. Prospective cabinet members were ushered in the back door, interviewed in the living room, and those who made the cut were brought to the front porch and introduced to reporters waiting in the front yard.
Not only efficient, but cheap. Kennedy's daddy paid for the whole thing.
Three: Never try to figure out why people do what they do. In the famous 1824 race that was thrown to the House of Representatives to decide, John Quincy Adams needed the vote of the state of New York to secure the majority required to win the presidency.
But the New York delegation was split - and how Representative Steven Van Rensselaer voted would determine which candidate got New York's vote. Poor Van Rensselaer didn't know what to do and bowed his head in prayer. As he opened his eyes, he saw a ballot on the floor with Adams' name on it, took it as a sign from the Lord, and voted for Adams. That swung New York behind Adams and gave him the presidency.
I've seen no sign of divine intervention this time - but the way it's going, maybe we'd best be on the lookout.
Yes, We <i>Will</i> Survive

Portland/Gresham, Oregon – The Rockwood Weed and Seed Steering Committee is proud to present Rockwood Read and Seed Summertime Stories at select Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) sites. Rockwood Weed and Seed will provide storytellers and puppeteers to inspire creative imagining and will hold book give-aways to encourage reading during the summer break. Youth are also encouraged to participate in summer reading programs through their local libraries.
Read and Seed sites include Arbor Glen Apartments, Glenfair Elementary, Lynch View Elementary, Lynch Wood Elementary, The PAL Youth Center, and The Pines Apartments. On Friday, July 13, 2007 at 10:30 am, Penny the Puppeteer and per puppet friends will tell stories, educate and entertain kids and parents alike at Glenfair Elementary, 15300 NE Glisan.
The free lunch program, which starts serving daily at 11:30 am, is provided to all eligible children free of charge. No application or proof of income is needed in Rockwood target areas. Furthermore, children who are part of households that receive food stamps or benefits under the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR), or Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) are automatically eligible to receive free meals. Acceptance and participation requirements for the program and all activities are the same for all regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, religion, age or disability, and there will be no discrimination in the course of the meal service. Meals will be provided for all enrolled children. USDA and the State of Oregon are equal opportunity providers and employers.
SFSP is the single largest Federal resource available for local sponsors who want to combine a free lunch program with a summer activities. "Children in our community do not need to go hungry this summer," said Rockwood VITA Center Coordinator Sarah Broderick. "And inspiring their minds through storytelling activities is an added bonus!"
This program is intended to provide free lunch to children. However, in some cases, sites can sell meals to parents for a small fee, or provide free meals to parent volunteers. Check with staff at your local site. For locations and times across Oregon call SAFENET at 1-800-723-3638 or visit www.summerfoodOregon.org.

Luminaries, Locals Laud Steinbrenner
'We Have Lost Our Giant,' Schumer Says
(Please see Corrections and Amplifications below.)
On Tuesday, the flags outside of City Hall flew at half-staff to honor Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, who died in the morning in Tampa, Fla., at the age of 80.
"Thunderstorms. That's George and Billy together again," said Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly as it clouded over on Tuesday, referring to the infamous explosions between Mr. Steinbrenner and his four-time-fired-and-one-time-resigned manager Billy Martin.
Mr. Martin was hardly the only one to clash with Mr. Steinbrenner—or win championships with him. During Mr. Steinbrenner's controversial and often tumultuous ownership, the Yankees won 11 pennants and seven World Series—most recently last season.
As news of his death filtered across the city, Mr. Steinbrenner was lauded as the quintessential New Yorker by luminaries and locals—with all that implies. He was loud, impatient and demanding. He had a sometimes hidden heart. He was willing to take risks in the service of staggering ambition, not all of which paid off. He expected excellence and had little tolerance for anything else.
"He was a difficult man, no question about it," former Mayor Ed Koch said. "But nevertheless a big person for New York City."
In Washington, Sen. Charles Schumer—a self-described "rabid Yankee fan''—offered a resolution on the Senate floor honoring Mr. Steinbrenner's legacy.
"All New Yorkers and baseball fans owe George Steinbrenner a huge thank you," he said. "We have lost our giant."
But for a twist of fate, the city of Cleveland might have been the one mourning on Tuesday—in addition to their other troubles.
Mr. Steinbrenner attempted to buy the Indians in 1971 and believed he had a deal in place to buy the team for about $9 million. But the team's owner at the time, Vernon Stouffer, later rejected the offer, baffling Mr. Steinbrenner and causing the deal to fall through. Two years later Mr. Steinbrenner purchased the Yankees for nearly the same price. Estimates place the value of the team today at more than $1 billion.
"I just think about how things would have been so much different here had he bought the Cleveland Indians instead of the Yankees," said Rick Cerrone, a former Yankees media-relations director. "The Yankees would be completely different had he not purchased them."
Mr. Steinbrenner's reign was not without its bumps. He famously feuded with just about everyone, be it public relations executives or players. Outfielder Dave Winfield chose a Padres cap, not a Yankees hat, to wear to the Hall of Fame largely because Mr. Steinbrenner paid a small-time gambler $40,000 to dig up dirt on him—after Mr. Winfield sued the owner for failing to send $300,000 to his charity, as mandated by his contract.
In 1985, after promising Yogi Berra would close out the season as Yankees manager, Mr. Steinbrenner lasted only through the team's 6-10 start before sending a front-office executive to fire Mr. Berra. Furious that Mr. Steinbrenner didn't deign to meet him in person, Mr. Berra vowed to never step foot in Yankee Stadium again.
Fourteen years later, Mr. Steinbrenner finally apologized.

"He realized he'd have to live with these things if he never did anything to reconcile," said Mr. Cerrone. As they drove to Mr. Berra's museum for that first reunion, Mr. Cerrone was struck by "how nervous he was."
The rift was ultimately mended, said Mr. Berra on Tuesday as he addressed the media from the same museum. "Everyone makes mistakes," he said.
Mr. Steinbrenner made perhaps more than his share of those. But ultimately, he built the Yankees into one of the world's most formidable brands, exporting the interlocking NY around the world.
When long-time adviser and friend Marc Ganis traveled around the world he would frequently snap shots of unlikely locals decked out in Yankees gear—a young Indian child in London's Trafalgar Square; an elderly Chinese laborer in the middle of China—and show them to The Boss upon his return.
Remembering George Steinbrenner
Timeline: Steinbrenner's Life
Yankee Greats
The Boss in the News
"He was so proud of it," said Mr. Ganis, who recalled Mr. Steinbrenner crowing: "You see? All over the world they know the Yankees."
"Sure, it was a symbol of an organization he owned; it was a symbol of New York City," Mr. Ganis said. "But what gave him the most joy was that the Yankee brand evolved into a symbol of America all over the world."
Part of that was Mr. Steinbrenner's canny cross-over appeal. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, who recently finished a cameo on HBO's hit show "Entourage," pointed to Mr. Steinbrenner as the model who made such high-profile, media-stardom possible, saying he "redefined professional sports ownership."
Mr. Steinbrenner mocked his penchant for firing managers in beer commercials in the 1970s, he hosted "Saturday Night Live" in 1990 and his persona became a recurring character on "Seinfeld."
"I met the real George Steinbrenner on only one occasion when he actually came and played himself," said actor Jason Alexander, whose character George Costanza went to work for Mr. Steinbrenner in one of the show's most famous plotlines, in a statement. "He seemed to really enjoy himself. I did not get to know him, but the fact that he allowed himself and his beloved team to be satirized on our show is an indication to me of his true character."
When Donald Trump was searching for high-profile guests to help launch the first season of a new television show called "The Apprentice," Mr. Trump said he was rebuffed by nearly everyone he approached. "This was the first season, so it was taking a shot," he remembered. Then he called Mr. Steinbrenner.
"He was willing to take a chance to go on a show that maybe was going to be a bomb," Mr. Trump said. "He was an amazing guy, willing to take chances."
In other areas, though, he had clear, even rigid ideas about exactly how things should be.
That watchfulness continues through today, even when Mr. Steinbrenner is not there to implement it himself.
When A.J. Burnett ambled onto Tampa's Steinbrenner Field for the start of spring training earlier this year, Yankees general manager Brian Cashman hurried over. He eyed the Yankees' $82 million pitcher and asked worriedly, "Is your arm OK?"
Mr. Burnett, nodded, albeit a bit confusedly.
Mr. Cashman made a showy sigh, pointed to the scruff growing on Mr. Burnett's chin and said, "Good. I thought you couldn't lift a razor to your face."
Mr. Steinbrenner may have ceded day-to-day control of the Yankees in 2006, but his influence and philosophy—including on unruly facial hair—never waned. And for the foreseeable future, it never will.
Corrections and Amplifications
George Steinbrenner's full name was George Michael Steinbrenner III. In an earlier version of this article, his name was incorrectly given as Henry George Steinbrenner III.

Hello all. I'm new to Flickr and relatively new to Moleskine (I'm on my second.) My first was the first journal I kept for a whole year. I run hot & cold with my "photography" and my journal keeping. I seem to be in a warm spell with both right now. Looks like a great group here.
PMgD says:
I just bought my first Moleskine. One in a row of many to come, I'm sure of that. I've had many sketchbooks before but I forgot about them after a couple of pages or just lost the appetite to sketch. Now with my Moleskine, it's somehow different. Is asks me gently to sketch in it and if I ignore it it yells at me... SKETCH ME!

I'm Tina. I am a writer living in Newfoundland and Labrador on the east coast of Canada. I have lusted after a moleskine for a long time and bought one for the first time today. You know all those discussions about how intimidating the blank moleskine can be. I haven't even taken mine out of the bag yet. It is sitting there and I am waiting for the "right" time to take it out and open it. How silly is that?
behindthelens says:
Hi there! I'm Crystal and adore both my moleskine journals. One was a gift from a pal and is a blank paged one. The other the sketchbook type that I doodle craziness in.
redbricktudor [deleted] says:
An educator by profession, I am a longtime keeper of journals. In the past decade I started carrying Molekine notebooks on long trips because I knew they would withstand the wear and tear of switching from pocket to bookbag to suitcase back to pocket and even airplane dinner tray. The ability to pull a Moleskine out of a jacket pocket and jot down reflections during a retreat or conference has given those moments a enduring record.
Andrew McCaughan says:
Hey! I'm rather new to this group. In fact, I've been a member for five minutes. I'm a Computer Science student in Belfast. I have two moleskines. One is a small notebook for personal notes and the other is a regular notebook, full of sketches of website designs, notes, lecture notes and lots of other randomness that i write when travelling in trains or planes.
Adam Case says:
Well, my name is Adam, I'm an Illustration major at the Hartford Art School. I've been doodling in moleskine sketchbooks since the beginning of high school, I have three right now, one for drawings, one for watercolor, and the other is a journal about my life as an art student. I hope you enjoy the randomness of my drawings. Oh, and look at my page to see some of my artwork and let me know what you think.

Monkicat says:
Hello all! I'm Heidi and I was made aware of these fine little books years ago when a friend gave me "The Songlines" to read. Bruce Chadwick mentioned picking up a bunch of these books to take on his next journey. A couple of years later I came across them in a beautiful old stationary store while looking for a pump for my fountain pen (yes I love fountain pens!) and since then have a stack of them in my room. Haven't done much with them lately, but love them just the same.......
unclerib says:
Hi everybody! I just started using these radical notebooks in the analogification of my Getting Things Done workflow. The Palm PDA I used before is now relegated to keeping only my address book and calendar. All my lists--next actions, projects, goals, wishlists are now in a pocket-sized notebook that is always with me. I also keep a a sketch book in my satchel for doodles, and a notebook for other ruminations. My Moleskines will be the only things to survive the rabid depaperification of my life.

Hi, I'm Danh (pronounce "yon" like you're "yawning"). I'm like everybody else here.... LOVING the Moleskine and photography. Seems like Flickr and Moleskine were made to be together.
MikeOliveri says:
Hi all, I'm Mike. I work in IT full time and I'm part-time writer. I always carry a notebook with me for jotting down stray ideas, notes, dialog, etc. When a friend -- also a writer -- showed me his moleskine cahiers I got interested. I looked them up online, bought a pocket-sized sketchbook, and I have been hooked ever since. That was earlier this year and now I'm on my second, this time a standard lined notebook. Their durability is a huge plus for me. I'm looking forward to buying a Chicago city notebook soon.
Rejean Pellerin says:
I am Réjean Pellerin from Montréal. Normally, I use recycled memo books Blueline 7.5 X 4.75 inches. 192 pages. 27 lines each page. I am no longer able to buy them in my city. But everywhere I go, I see Moleskine books of all size. I will probably use them eventually. They are so beautiful and handy!
Good_Egg says:
Hi I'm Good_Egg, a prelaw student in Indiana, but originally from Portland, OR. I have a large collection of Moleskine, including a 2007 weekly planner, a mini-moleskine (unlined) and a personal lined diary currently in use).

Hello all. I go by Elsi. After journaling for several years in Watson-Guptill sketchbooks, I bought my first Moleskine the first of December. I'm joining the Embodiment paper journal group and will use the Moleskine for that. I've enjoyed looking through all the posted pages; this is indeed a talented group.

robin kibby says:
howdy do. last year, after seeing a post of velvetina's stack of moleskines from dick blick, i broke down and got a watercolor-paper moleskine (the bigger size). use it for sketchies on-the-go, but my recent happiness is to make web nav icons and mini-reproductions of my larger paintings for my website.

Hi. Long time lurker, first time contributor. I drew a lot as a child and just started again a few years ago. I felt it a necessity to have a moleskine to contain my sketchs...I don't know why. I use the pocket sketchbook as it does not overwhelm me with empty space.
heir2glory says:
I've been using moleskines since early 2002 but my desire for such a notebook can be traced back to 1980 watching Harrison Ford scribble in something similar in 'Raiders Of The Lost Ark'.

hey all, my name is nik. i've had moleskine notebooks here and there over the years but i've never really utilized them until just recently when i started making my own sudoku books. the squared notebooks are just perfect for it. but anyways, i'm glad to finally be a part of the community and i love you all :)

I'm Kata, 24 from London, Ontario, Canada. I'm attempting to recreate my life after dealing with a lot of drama and crap, and learning to be more independant. My moleskines have helped, I'm in Canada, and its hard to find them, but Chapters recently started stocking them. Only some stores have some books... the ones nearest to me have only the lined ones, I prefer the sketch and blank ones (which I can get in Toronto).

Hi! I've always been a bit of a journal person, recently discovered Moleskins and I've fallen madly in love! Haven't gotten any picks up yet, but they're in the works! Something about it's pages just beckons me to them, they inspire my creativity! I was just lurking about, saw the group and just had to join!

Hi! I'm Eyra. When I found this group I couldn't belive that my favorite notebook had a space in flickr. I love Moleskine like all the members in here. I love photography, and my moleskine is the subject of many pictures that I had taken.
muming15 says:
Hi! I'm Steve from Taipei, sorry if my English isn't perfect. I've recently "switched" to moleskines last November, and I find myself buying way more than just a simple notebook. I now carry it around everyday, and scribble down anything that just comes into my mind or anything worth putting down, and I love it so much that I even wrote a song for it called "little black book", which very luckily got noticed by moleskinerie the blog and featured it on the front page. Later on, the retail company in Hong Kong heard it, and awarded me a free mole for a new years present. I have to say that these were the best new years gift for me ever. I want to say thank you to Moleskinerie again, and to those who heard the song. Btw, I'm sort of a 22 yr old English teacher, but I'm greatly interested in all sorts of art. I've done indie filmaking, song writing, graphic design, graffiti street art and all sorts of related stuff. It's a long story, but in short I come from a environment lack of creativity, so I often find myself lonely in the design and art area. Whatever, it has been a great pleasure to see all of your work here on flickr. It has given me a reason to buy a decent notebook and tons of inspiration. Happy to find this place, Moles rock!

sarah hyndman says:
Hello, I'm Sarah from London and usually have a sketchbook of some sort (whether it's a Moleskine notebook, a handfull of bits of paper or a beermat) tucked in a pocket. This was something that began when I gave up smoking and needed a substitute and it turned out to be a much healthier addiction. I'm enjoying seeing everybody else's sketches and it's great to see that I'm not the only one that does this...
RED Letter Days says:
Hi All,
mucus*plug says:
hi everyone - i appreciate all of you sharing your moleskins. i'm fascinated by how my very utilitarian book (pages used to communicate with deaf brother-in-law, ancestry info, sketches of brain-farts, sketches of windows, doors, pieces of papers, and the coupon or three...) compares to yours : ) I use the small ones. Feel neked without it!
morbillina says:
Hello everyone. Sorry but I didn't see this discuss before.. I'm from Italy and I'm quite new to this group, but not new to Moleskine. I always use the pocket weekly notebook and for this 2007 I bought the RED one... (never seen before). Am I the only one? Do you think I offend its black dress?
savenije says:
Hi all,
Eudaemonian says:
Oh, I added this group when I independently bought 3 large notebooks for school in summer 2006 and posted my notes up for fun (I was taking some interesting classes). Then I discovered slowly that people really dig these particular notebooks, and also that they love to see my notes in biology on weird stuff like fungus. The notebooks held up nicely last semester, so this semester I bought a ton of moleskine stuff & so far I like that they're lighter in weight than the normal school notebooks. My Italian 101 notebook is this teeny grid one, it's so handy! I'm using the plain reporter style ones for lab classes.
cwessd says:
Hey all - I am a big fan of the skine as well. I got my first one (I am ashamed to admit it) at the Crystal Cathedral in LA. We were just visiting it as a touristy stop, but I saw a pocket sketchbook Moleskine and my friend who I was with bought it for me. That was 9.15.03 and I've been using them ever since.

Hi! I have been using my moleskine for only a few weeks, but have been looking at them through moleskinerie for much, much longer. I use the large squared notebook to record ideas I have for quilt blocks and layouts for crafty/sewing things, notes during my quilting classes, etc. I live in Tokyo.

Hi! I'm Kristen, I have been a fan of Moleskine's for just about 2 years now. I originally bought it to use as a travel journal only, but I've recently converted to using it in my most recent attempt to keep a daily journal. I also have a day planner and a small pocket lined journal.

I always doodled in random notebooks until I went to Arizona over winter break to visit some friends (I'm from Rhode Island). While I was out there a companion of mine, Brock, introduced me to Moleskines and when I got home he sent me the invite for this group.

Makes me angry? hahahahaahahahha Yeah, right..... you have the power to "make me" angry.... That's a good one, for a bullshit artist. I can't believe you even tried to claim fruitcake and fruitloops are not anti-gay epithets. You lie so often you can't tell the difference any more.<quoted text>
I call bullsh!t. I don't use anti gay epithets Miss Thing. Maybe you sense my contempt for you, but it's not because you're gay.
I have friends and family I love dearly that are homosexuals bla bla bla.
It's a NY thing. You're from Joisey. You never heard someone call another "fruitcake" or fruitloops"? It has no sexuality connotation. You have a huge chip on your shoulder.
If it has any meaning beyond "dude" or etc. It means you're crazy. Nuttier than a fruitcake.
Having said that fruitloops, Screw off you miserable old malcontent hypocrite. Glad it makes you angry.
Hope that helps.

And why would that prove polygamy shouldn't be allowed?
In your anger, don't shoot the messenger.
Awright then twinkletoes, you think about it and get back to me.
#181469 Feb 26, 2013
No, they are not anti gay epithats twinkletoes. Get that chip off your shoulder. Maybe someone you know uses them that way, but I don't.
And so what if they were? Does that prove polygamy should not be allowed fruitcake?
Your straw man that I am a homophobe is wearing real thin. After all it's a straw man. Try again. But not so dumb. Don't recycle the "you're a liar" straw man again!

You claim you don't use anti-gay epithets. I call you a liar. You call that a straw man and then you use another anti-gay epithet? Are you trying to make a joke, or are you really THAT stupid?

But screw that Fruitcake I am not interested in your loyalty test.
Lets entertain your newest straw man once again. So what if I was using them as "anti-gay epithets"?
Does that mean I am wrong about marriage rights for everyone, including people you disapprove of?

Ten-year old Wesley Morris loves to keep a step ahead of younger brother, Stuart. But he was slowed down two years ago by what his mom at first thought was an ear infection.
Instead, Lorinda Morris says, a blood test and found his white cell count was 240,000 when it should have been five-thousand. Wesley was diagnosed with cancer.
His chemotherapy put the family on the road to University of Kansas Hospital. Stormont-Vail nurse Nancy Pankratz, RN, says only adult chemotherapy was offered in Topeka.
Pankratz says that because children have different kinds of cancers, and they're treated with different medications at different amounts than adults.
As Wesley approached remission, his pediatrician approached Stormont with an idea. Why not train the nurses so the kids could stay close to home to get their chemo? Pankratz says the kids were going back and form to KU Med weekly for what amounted to a five-minute medication.
Pankratz says Stormont trained six nurses to do the job. Wesley was their first patient.
Staying close to home means kids can re-gain a sense of normal routine. They don't have to miss an entire day of school, and parents don't need to take an entire day off work.
Area kids still go to KU Med for chemotherapy until they're in remission. They'd then be referred to Stormont. Treatments there continue anywhere from 18 to 30 months.

First off... I don't even know if what I want is going to be possible yet, so if not I'd still be ahppy to hear that.
What I've been asked to do is create a set of themes for a client, and part of the deal is that I do updates to the themes as they are requested (at an extra charge). The problem that I'm facing is that the client wants the themes to use the standard WordPress update system, but doesn't want the themes to be publicly available.
From what I can see so far, the update system works with the WordPress servers, so in order for the automatic updates to work, I would need to have the themes hosting on the WordPress site, and have them be publicly available.
Is there a way that I can set my themes to be updated from our server or i sthis just not possible?

The House Armed Services Committee last week approved the 2014 National Defense Authorization Act, which includes billions of dollars to fund programs vital to a host of Connecticut companies, from jet fighter engines and helicopters to submarines.
The bill, approved by a bipartisan 59-2 vote, is expected to go to the House floor this week, said Congressman Joseph D. Courtney, D-2nd District.

Packers extend WR Driver's contract
Receiver satisfied with ending career in Green Bay
Green Bay — When he's 37 years old, Donald Driver might not be the same receiver he is now, but the Green Bay Packers know for sure that for the next three years he'll give them everything he has on the field and never offend anybody off it.
For those reasons, general manager Ted Thompson faced a no-brainer in extending Driver's contract for two years, thus taking the 35-year-old receiver off the free-agent market in 2011 and setting up the possibility that he would be able to retire having played for just one team.
The Packers don't usually announce contract extensions, but given Driver's lofty station in the organization and vast popularity in the community, the public relations department kept reporters around after the open locker room session Friday and brought Driver in to announce his new deal.
"It's very special," Driver said. "You don't see it too often, the opportunity to wear the green and gold (for an entire career), and the tradition behind the great organization is remarkable. My wife has always said she never wants to leave Green Bay. I always said I never want to leave here.
"Now (that) I get to finish my career here is remarkable. Hopefully, one day I get to be in the Packers Hall of Fame."
Driver won't have to worry about that.
He ranks first on the franchise's all-time reception list with 647 and is 607 yards short of the Packers record for receiving yards held by Pro Football Hall of Famer James Lofton. No one has more receptions (311) or receiving yards (4,285) at Lambeau Field than the 11-year pro from Alcorn State.
Driver's role may diminish even this year as fellow receivers Greg Jennings, James Jones and Jordy Nelson mature, but at 34 he caught 70 passes for 1,061 yards and six touchdowns last year and said he is feeling as good as ever after having both of his knees surgically cleaned out during the off-season.
"I feel so much better," he said. "The aches and pains, you're going to have those. I've been playing well. That's what you want, you want to continue to play at a high level."
Terms of the extension were not available, but it's likely Driver received some upfront money along with two more years at the back end of his contract. He was due a base salary of $4 million and a roster bonus of $2.8 million in 2010.
Signing Driver to an extension not only rewards him for what he has done on the field, it sends a message to fans that the Packers cherish players who are model citizens off it. After an off-season in which Johnny Jolly, Spencer Havner and Brandon Underwood were in the news for the wrong reasons, Thompson probably welcomed the chance to assure fans that he was committed to having a community-friendly team.
Driver, in turn, hasn't been shy about asking for extensions - he had them in '03, '06 and '07 previously - and with all the endorsement deals he has in the state, it wouldn't behoove him to play anywhere else.
"Since last year we talked about it, and they agreed to try to get a deal done," Driver said. "We got it done, and now I'm going to retire as a Packer. That's something I dreamed of for a long time. Now it's here, and my wife and kids love it.
"I went upstairs (in the Packers administration building) with the family and signed our extension so we know we're going to retire here. When it's all said and done, I'll be in green and gold."
The contract does not take Driver to age 40, which is the benchmark he has set for his playing career, but he said it wouldn't matter if he didn't make it that far. If he makes it through the end of his current deal, he'll assess where he is professionally and see if he can squeeze more years out of his superbly conditioned 6-foot, 194-pound body.
If he can't, he said he would gladly accept that his career was over. The main thing is that he has a very good shot at retiring with the team that drafted him in the seventh round 11 years ago.
"Now it's done and I'm happy about it," he said of the extension. "Now I'm a Green Bay Packer for life."

SOURCE: "Catholic Science Fiction and the Comic Apocalypse: Walker Percy and Walter Miller," in Renascence, Vol. XL, No. 2, Winter, 1987, pp. 95-110.
In the following excerpt, Young compares and contrasts the work of Walker Percy and Walter Miller, contending that both have authored science-fiction novels in the sense that science fiction deals with the effects of science on the human condition.
According to one prominent science fiction writer, science and technology together constitute the "dominant" object of worship of the modern world. "To put it simply," he remarks, "science is a god-thing: omniscient, omnipotent, master of that terrible trinity of hope, fear, and power" (Sturgeon, 99, 100). This portentous utterance adds a certain gravity to the familiar quip, "Science fiction is the religion of atheists." There is something surprising, then, in...
