The War and Its Shadow: Spain's Civil War in Europe's Long Twentieth Century (The Canada Blanch / Sussex Academic Studies on Contemporary Spain)
Helen Graham explores the origins, nature, and long-term consequences of the exterminatory civil war in Spain, charting the resonant forms of political, social, and cultural resistance to it and the memory and legacy these have left behind in Europe and beyond. Not least is the growing sense of the enormity of what, in greater European terms, the Republican war effort resisted: Nazi adventurism and the continent-wide wars of ethnic and political purification it unleashed. In Spain today the civil war remains the past that will not pass away. The long shadow of the Second World War is now also bringing back center frame its most disquieting aspects, revealing to a broader public the stark truth already known by specialist historians that in Spain, as in the many other internecine wars soon to convulse Europe, war was waged predominantly upon civilians millions were killed not by invaders and strangers, but by their own compatriots, including their own neighbors. Across the continent, Hitler s war of territorial expansion after 1938 detonated myriad irregular wars, of culture as well as of politics, which took on a cleansing intransigence as those driving them sought to make homogeneous communities, whether ethnic, political, or religious. So much of this was prefigured with primal intensity in Spain in 1936, where, on 17 18 July, a group of army officers rebelled against the socially reforming Republic. Saved from almost certain failure by Nazi and Fascist military intervention, and by a British inaction amounting to complicity, these army rebels unleashed a conflict in which civilians became the targets of mass killing. The new military authorities authorized and presided over an extermination of those sectors associated with Republican change especially those who symbolized cultural change and thus posed a threat to old ways of being and thinking: progressive teachers, self-educated workers, new women. In the Republican zone, resistance to the coup also led to the murder of civilians. This extrajudicial and communal killing in both zones fundamentally made new political and cultural meanings that changed Spain s political landscape forever.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
It has been a banner year for performance cars, with the launch of about a dozen new models, including the Chevrolet Corvette, Ford Mustang and Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG.
Now it's BMW's turn.
The M3, stuff of legends and myths, is all new for 2015. It loses weight, gains torque and, perhaps most importantly for auto enthusiasts, gets a new engine, which is smaller, but turbocharged to deliver even more power. Fuel efficiency reportedly improves by an impressive 25 percent.
The M3 is the vaunted high-performance version of the 3 Series, which BMW recently split into two separate lines. The sedan continues to be called the 3 Series, while the coupe is now called the 4 Series, under a new naming convention that uses odd numbers for cars with four doors and even numbers for those with two doors.
So starting with the 2015 model year, there will be an M3 Sedan and an M4 Coupe. Both had previously been called the M3.
The two new vehicles make their debut at the Detroit auto show in January and go on sale in early summer.
In Pictures: 2015 BMW M3 Sedan and M4 Coupe
The rear-wheel drive M3 Sedan and M4 Coupe have undergone substantial changes when compared with the outgoing M3. One of the most notable is that they have gotten lighter, despite being several inches larger.
At 3,300 pounds, the 2015 BMW M4 Coupe is 176 pounds lighter than the previous version. But even more impressive, the M4 Coupe weighs 100 pounds less than the model from two generations ago (known by its codename E46 to hardcore enthusiasts).
Downsizing the engine to a turbocharged inline six-cylinder—another big change—saved 22 pounds. BMW says this new engine is 25 percent more efficient than the outgoing V8, which delivered 14/20 miles per gallon in city/highway driving.
Yet the six-cylinder also boasts more oomph by comparison. It produces 425 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque, making the 2015 coupe and sedan the most powerful versions of the car ever. Top speed is limited to 155 miles per hour.
Some are mourning the loss of the burly V8. Remaining inventory of 2013 M3s sold out quickly earlier this year because of rumors that the new version would offer a smaller engine.
But aficionados will appreciate the return of a six-cylinder, which is similar to the one used in the second and third generations of the M3. They also will relish in the standard manual six-speed transmission, a feature that is largely being abandoned by other automakers in favor of newfangled dual-clutch, paddle-shift transmissions. BMW says the 2015 coupe and sedan go from 0 to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds with the manual transmission, down from 4.6 for the outgoing M3.
Not to be left out, BMW is offering a seven-speed paddle-shift transmission as an option. This makes for a slightly faster sprint to 60 mph of 3.9 seconds.
The new manual transmission is 26.4 pounds lighter and considerably more compact than the one it replaces. It also includes a feature that automatically blips the throttle on downshifts, mimicking a technique used by race car drivers. (The newly redesigned 2014 Chevy Corvette also has this feature.)
Generally speaking, V8s sound better than six-cylinder engines, but BMW aims to ensure that the new M3 Sedan and M4 Coupe do not disappoint when it comes to their exhaust note. To that end, electrically actuated flaps in the exhaust pipes amplify the sound. The sound level can be controlled with different settings inside the car.
The 2015 models are loaded with impressive new technology, but the fact that they have dropped so much weight is critical, especially for performance cars, where added pounds can have a noticeable impact on handling dynamics and acceleration.

Shropshire Star petition for direct rail link to London
Hundreds of people have already backed a campaign launched by the Shropshire Star to introduce a direct rail link between the county and London
A petition has been set up, which will be delivered to officials in the capital who have blocked plans to set up services from Euston Station to Shrewsbury, Telford and Wellington.
To vote, click here.
Cross-party MPs in the county today backed the campaign, together with business leaders who say the link is vital for Shropshire's future.
Virgin Trains wants to re-establish the services, but its plans have been vetoed by the Government's Office of Rail Regulation.
Officials at the ORR have backed Network Rail's stance that the West Coast Main Line cannot yet cope with extra services.
Today the Shropshire Star is calling for a solution to be found as soon as possible so that train passengers in the county get the train service they deserve.
An online petition was today set up and you can also have your say by sending your support by post.
Copies of the petition will be presented to officials from the ORR when they meet with county MPs about the issue of Shropshire's rail link in September.
Shrewsbury & Atcham MP Daniel Kawczynski has also pledged to present a formally-worded version of the petition to the House of Commons, urging the Department of Transport and the ORR to work with Network Rail and the train operators to ensure a regular and direct service from Shrewsbury to London is established as soon as possible.
The campaign has also won the cross-party support of other Shropshire MPs.
David Wright, Labour MP for Telford, said: "I'm delighted that the Shropshire Star is setting up this community campaign. I'm a strong supporter of the direct rail link between London and Shropshire and have been working with the other MP on this issue. It is great to have the Star on board.
"I hope we can show the ORR the strength of community feeling on this."
Mark Pritchard, MP for The Wrekin, added: "I'm delighted the Shropshire Star is getting behind the campaign to restore a direct rail link to London. MPs will be working with the Star to try and persuade the ORR to change their minds.
"I encourage all my constituents to support the campaign."
Environment Secretary and North Shropshire MP Owen Paterson said he had been a long-standing campaigner for a direct service, dating back to the fight for the former Wrexham & Shropshire service.
"I strongly support any public move to put pressure on the relevant bodies to get Shropshire the direct rail link it deserves."
Philip Dunne, Tory MP for Ludlow, today urged his constituents to get behind the campaign. "I'm very happy to support this and I long campaigned for improved rail links to Shropshire," he said.

Lynda Ballard
Direct link to London from a major town like Shrewsbury should be a must.
Fact Man
Shrewsbury isn't even in the top 50 biggest towns in the UK. It is not a 'major town', hasn't been for centuries.
A huge well done to the Shropshire Star for campaigning on this very important issue for county.
Ian MacLennan
I find it astonishing that the major county of Shropshire does not have a direct link to London, and the rail regulator needs to work with Virgin to make this happen. The West Coast Mainline is full, but surely there are options. Perhaps extend a Wolverhampton service (acknowledging that it would have to be a diesel service as the line to Shrewsbury is not electrified). Or re-route the Wrexham to London service that Virgin started to compete with the fabulous Wrexham and Shropshire service.
There is another option, electrify the line, it's been talked about for years and many times its been close to being done but never had that final push to make it happen, Virgin could just be that final push to make it happen.
Hobson's choice. Where is the box to tick for a sustainable service on an alternate route.
Direct service to London Yes Virgin No Arriva/Chiltern Yes.
Absolutely right, Roger.
The way to get a service is lobby Arriva/Chiltern (Deutsche Bahn) to provide a service to either Marylebone or perhaps Paddington (via High Wycombe).
Remember also that as well as Chiltern, Arriva also owns the Cross Country franchise which has running rights throughout the West Midlands.
It could also see the reinstatement of the Cambrian Coast Express of BR days, with the early morning departure from London running through to Aberystwyth or even Pwhelli, returning to form the evening service from Shrewsbury to London. The morning 'up' train from Shrewsbury to London would then do two more 'round trips', meaning four services each way every weekday.
I'm pretty sure the Welsh Assembly would pressure for the through service and perhaps even subsidise it beyond Shrewsbury, although the trains would need to have ERTMS signalling fitted.
Keep dreaming, it will run twice a day make a loss as it wont be used as has been the case in the past, loss = no profit = no service.
Ian Bee
Whilst I am sure that a direct rail link from Shropshire to London will be beneficial to the county in some small way, who can afford to travel by train anymore? Currently, an 'anytime return' for Shrewsbury to London is £204.00 !! Also, it was abundantly clear from the old W&S operation that passenger numbers from the county alone cannot support a dedicated service to London in their own right. It is my opinion that this would ultimately be of benefit to a very small number of business users and this would suggest that, as the only UK county without a direct link to 'the smoke', vanity is a major element of this campaign. How hard is it to change trains anyway?
The current situation makes Shropshire unique in the UK. Perhaps we should be glad that we are not like all those other counties who are beholden to the capital.
Luke Davies
This should be a MUST! But they also should fix the signals at the same time aswell
Luke, you are very right.
Unfortunately the signal spacing south of Rugby is mostly still as per the 1970s 'modernisation' when the wires went up and speeds were only 90mph with perhaps 6 fast trains per hour - where now there are at least a dozen even in the off-peak.
To maintain the 'three signal sections safety separation' uses up to 50% more track distance than will be the case on the GWR lines out of Paddington when they are electrified and re-signalled over the next couple of years. So the number of trains is restricted and the slightest delay for any service soon 'knocks on' to everything behind it.
Chappy Shopper
The main benefit to a direct rail link I can think of would be that I'd not have to spend any more time in New Street Station, (although the facelift there is a real improvement). More to the point people in London should be campaigning for a direct link to Shropshire, as they come to their senses and realise paying a fortune for a small flat in an overcrowded, overpriced, polluted, crime-ridden sump full of dreadful people is madness!
Better things to spend the money on. This will not be a low price service for us ordinary mortals. HS2 will run the coffers dry anyway.
What we do is catch a train to Wolverhampton or Birmingham and then change onto our train of choice - Virgin or Arriva/Chiltern.
If we catch a train to Wolverhampton we just have to change platforms....now that's not difficult is it?
Economics have proved that a direct link from Shrewsbury to London is not needed.
I travel to London 2-3 times a month and usually drive to Wolverhampton and catch the Virgin train.
Its not like we can't get to London from Shropshire without a direct link, we have loads of choices.........................
I usually drive to Wolverhampton or Crewe too, not because it's the better option but rather that the train service between Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton is pathetic, I am sick and tired of the train service not running on time, the excuses range from drivers starting the service late because they were on a break or simply that the train is full and I cannot get on. That's right I remember many times getting the train from Telford where I work to then make my way to London, many trains would come and go with the train manager of each opening one set of doors at a time saying that they would let people off but would not let more than 1 or 2 new passengers back on to the train for H&S reasons, I'm surprised they don't take a leaf from Japan's book and hire people to push us on like cattle. Things have not improved much as I was on the same train only last week, had to stand the entire way like on a tube train in London's rush hour. Hardly a surprise, I can't see how Arriva expect time after time to fit a full platform of people (designed for the old intercity trains) to fit in 2 already full carriages, it happens every day yet they act surprised every time, now I am confused? So to answer your question, yes it is difficult to change at Wolverhampton because you have to get the train their first, or do as you and I now do and just drive there instead. We need a train with many more carriages just to take us between Shrewsbury & Wolverhampton/Birmingham let alone London and Virgin Trains could cater for both types of traveller with just 1 train. If there isn't enough capacity then cancel some of the Arriva trains instead, I'm sure all passengers would be pleased to not only have a choice of carriage to get onto but also have the unusual option of having a seat too. I am in full support of the idea, no more waiting in the rain and snow for the third or fourth train which might have capacity for me to squeeze on.
Just extend one of the Wolverhampton services per hour to Shrewsbury - Virgin have nice new efficient diesels that can do it no problem
Tony in BC
Oh dear... two hundred pounds to get to London. Back when I left Shrewsbury on vacation (albeit a long time ago) the return ticket to Vorarlberg in Austria was fourteen pounds. Today in BC my ticket to the "big smoke" (about 500k) is roughly 40 pounds.
Go figure!
The West Coast main line runs quite close to Shropshire and for business travel speed and convenience are important. If you live in Telford, Newport or Market Drayton it's quicker to drive to Stafford and pick up the Pendolino from there. From Bridgnorth it's quicker to drive to Wolverhampton. From Whitchurch it's quicker to drive to Crewe. That's accounts for around 55% of Shropshire's population, so the demand for a direct service is going to have to be met by the other 45%.
If Shrewsbury is not to remain a backwater restoration of this link is vital and must go ahead.
Mr H Christmas & Mrs I E Christmas & Mr B Christmas
Direct link is preferable to changing at Birmingham. Having to cart cases between platforms. The old Wrexham,Shropshire train to Paddington was marvellous.
Shirley Roberts
I would like to see a direct link to London on the Euston line as I travel to M.K. regularly and as an OAP I hate changing at Birmingham. It is time the line from Wolverhampton is electrified. As a youngster I could board a train at Gobowen and sit there until I reached London (Paddington) We seem to be going backwards. Shrewsbury is an important County Town.
bob dobbs
No it isn't.
Mr David Richards
Why don't Virgin run a couple of the Chester to Euston services via Wrexham and Shrewsbury of which would not increase the load on the network.
Mrs Karen Ellis
It would be great to have a rail link to run through Telford to London, I would definately use this service and would visit London more often.
it`s about time Shropshire/ telford had a direct rail link
I go to London regularly and it would save me keep going to Wolverhampton or Stafford I think it`s a great idea and about time to have a reliable company and service I would even go more often as I love london
It is just not going to happen, as a former Railway employee I have seen this all before, we had a service, you didn't use it enough and we lost it, you campaigned and petitioned and got it back, you didn't use it enough again and so you lost it again.
There are insufficient numbers of people in Shrewsbury who are prepared to use it on a regular basis, and no company will be prepared to run a service at a loss.
Sorry to be so negative but if the service returns, it will be lost again due to lack of use, and lets face it, long distance rail travel these days is for those with money, not the average person on the street.
If ticket prices are reduced to an affordable level, people might just be tempted back.

10 Signs You're Just Friends
There are few things as devastating as professing your undying love to someone only to find out they just think of you as a good friend.
Not that it isn't nice to find a great friend for good conversations and lots of laughter but if what you really want is a great lover to knock knees with, you should watch out for — and heed — these "friendly advances," signals that they like you but not in that way.
And if you think it can't happen to you (cue the chorus wailing: "Oh no no I can spot the signs") think again. I know one person who makes a career out of serially misreading friendly advances. It would be funny if it wasn't so tragic.
10. Let's Do What You Like (Again)
In any caring relationship there exists a delicate balance. One day you go to John Cusack's latest romantic comedy and in exchange the next time it's the international bass fishing derby. If you find yourself always doing the things that they like there is no balance. Why? You're not a lover, just a friend.
9. The Favor Game
Isn't funny how every time they suggest you do something, it involves doing some favor? Whether it's help moving, fixing their computer or keeping them company while they do laundry if they only call to ask for help, you're probably solidly in the friend category.
8. If Only I Wasn't So Busy
The flip side of the favor game, every time you call they're strangely busy watching the game, entertaining their fifth cousin or building a model ship.
7. The Pity Vibe
If they treat you like dirt, while their friends take pains to be super nice (often with a wounded, pitying look in their eyes) you are on the amigo train. The friends, being nice and knowing that you don't have a clue what's going on, are trying to soften the impending blow they see you heading towards. They're also likely telling your flame to stop leading you on but it's something they'll never come out and say, so pick up on the hint and get out with your pride intact.
6. The Touch-Flinch Reaction
When someone isn't into you romantically there is an invisible barrier to certain kinds of touching. Try putting your arm around them as you walk down the street. If you feel an immediate stiffening, or even worse a flinch, you've overstepped the physical barrier that separates friendship from romance and they, sensing the inappropriate touch, are sending you a physical signal to that effect.
5. Avoiding Public Appearances
Even worse than the touch-flinch is the "never being seen in public together." It's kind of like that friend you had in grade school who hung out and played with you on the weekend, even walking with you to school, only ditch you for the "in" crowd once you got to school. If you suddenly become invisible in social situations — my friend, you're a just friend.
4. Oh, They're Sooo Hot
While noticing attractive people around is natural, gushing about them to you is definitely not. If they constantly talk about hotties at work, on television, or even at the next table, they definitely think of you in a friendly way. This may be unconscious behavior but if they sense that you have the wrong idea about your relationship, they could also be trying to send a hint.
3. I Should Introduce You To…
Once they start trying to set you up on dates with friends, coworkers, or the lazy-eyed variety-store employee down the street, the die has been cast. They realize you think of them as more than a friend and are searching for a way out without hurting your feelings. Either make a graceful exit or, even better, see if you CAN get a date with one of their friends.
2. The Third Wheel
So you've worn them down. They're out of excuses. They agree to go on a date. But when you show up to the restaurant, they've brought along a friend for company. Once again, they want you to save face. Really, they can't be more obvious without telling you outright.
1. The F-Word
If all of the ploys, excuses and hints in the world won't work on you, they'll resort to the equivalent of dropping a grand piano on top of you from a four-story window. What's that, you ask? They'll add the "friend" word liberally into your next conversation. "You're such a good friend," for example.
Or, "Why can't all my friends be as great as you." Ouch.
If you ignore this last desperate attempt to give you a graceful out, then you'll give them no choice but to have the "friend talk."

Oh, TLC. Draw me closer into your mysterious embrace. Tangle me more intricately into your web of stories. Make me question your intentions with more shows like Wives With Beehives.
Now, before I explain exactly what that is, is it just me or are we at a point where it's legitimately impossible to tell what a TLC show is about because they've gone so far off the rails? When Jenni asked me to cover Wives With Beehives for Crushable, we had to look it up on their website to determine whether it was a reality show about professional beekeepers falling in love, or something Mormon-y because of the beehives. Turns out, neither. Wives With Beehives is about a community of ladies who like to dress up, act, and live like it's still the 1950s. You know, because that was such a fun time to be a lady. You got access to all those opportunities and birth control and equal-paying jobs and whatnot. It was paradise. But these women really think it was, and they're into all of it, but particularly the clothing, makeup, and gender roles. So let me introduce you to them, cone-bras and all.
There's Dollie, the blond pin-up girl who just got married, and Shelby, another blond pin-up girl who just got married. You can tell them apart because Dollie is a bitch who hates Shelby and the fact that she isn't the only blond of the group anymore. Also at the big party, Shelby is the one without any friends and Dollie is the one who refused to introduce her to anyone, hiding behind her husband and refusing to get backed into a conversation. Like…with anyone. It's very odd. You'd think in a community this small, you'd be grateful for others who share your lifestyle, but instead the girls are suuuuper competitive. Some of them say they don't want to live in the modern world so there isn't any form of "Keeping Up With The Joneses" as far as who has the newest computer or electronics, but the cattiness and pettiness between ladies more than makes up for it.
The other two women are Amber, who's a redhead, and the brunette, Leslie. Everyone on the show is married because WHAT ELSE IS THERE IN THE 50s, but these are the older two of the group. Amber is 37 and Leslie is 43. They get along — they went to an outdoor boot camp class together in full hair, makeup and dungarees — but are (of course) secretly judge-y of each other as well. You see, Amber is more the traditional fifties housewife. She makes everything from scratch and is always polite, organized, and on time. Whereas Leslie has help at home in the form of maids and gardeners, and frequently shows up late places because her hair and makeup are her main foci. Amber doesn't like that Leslie isn't traditional, and Leslie doesn't like Amber judging her just because she can afford a different lifestyle.
Oh and of course Dollie and Shelby both judge the older ladies for getting plastic surgery. They think you should let your body age naturally. They're all about doing things the natural way, obviously, since they dress up in corsets and gloves in California in 2012. Also you're twenty, so shut up, your time will come for surgical enhancement, you circus freaks. Whoa, sorry. My opinions really got away from me there for a second. I think it's because there's so much hypocrisy and back-stabbing in this group. You do whatever you want, but I'm not super into watching you be catty about your fellow castmates and complain about people paying attention to you and ruining your day while you're filming a reality TV show.
Oh and don't pretend you guys don't have email addresses. I know you. I see you. There's no way you taped your auditions on your vintage Victrolas and sent it by goddamn telegram. Did I go too far back in time? Well goddamn it. I mean…golly gee willickers.

text: What will Purgatory bring to Supernatural?Lauren Davis7/15/12 5:00pmFiled to: supernaturalSdcc 2012TelevisiontweetFb13EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink With two of Supernatural's characters trapped in Purgatory at the end of this past season, could we see some familiar faces returning? And how will the separation of Sam and Dean affect the rest of the show? The Supernatural cast and crew were on hand at San Diego Comic-Con to tease the possibilities for the upcoming season. Minor spoilers. Advertisement Series showrunner Jeremy Carver, consulting producer Ben Edlund, Jensen Ackles (Dean), Jared Padalecki (Sam), Misha Collins (Castiel), Jim Beaver (Bobby), and Mark Sheppard (Crowley) were on today's panel, ready to joke around. Hall H, according to Ackles, is a lot like Purgatory with all its red lights. I suspect that this morning, Purgatory had a shorter line.With the previous season just wrapped, there was no new footage to show, but the producers revealed a bit about the upcoming season. Much like previous stints in Hell, Dean's stay in Purgatory will be brief, and we'll see the scenes of Purgatory revealed mainly through flashbacks. When asked if we'll be seeing any familiar faces in Purgatory, Carver said that we'll meet up with some "real badasses" and hinted that "Purgatory makes strange bedfellows." Advertisement Sam and Dean will have to face the consequences of their separation. After years of being "emotional shut-ins," the pair will have formed their own relationships separate from one another, and will have to learn how to deal with each other's new relationships. Padalecki was asked whether Sam will get a romance this season, which he didn't deny. When Ackles was asked the same question, he quipped, "I think the only romance in Dean's life is the car."Given that Beaver was on the panel, can we expect the return of Bobby? "It's Supernatural. Anything can happen." Beaver said, and then added that he's said that phrase roughly 7,000 times over the course of this week's convention.There was no word on when Castiel will pop up again (despite the question being asked several times), but we do know that the boys and Crowley will be on the hunt for a power source that has already been hinted at. Carver says the Winchesters are getting less reactive and more proactive, "starting on offense." We'll also be seeing more mature Winchesters. Padalecki explained, "Now we get to see who they want to be, and we get to see who they are." Sponsored When asked if we're going to see God anytime soon, Carver said that they're moving away from the "heavy, heavy mythology," but that they are developing a little over-arching mythology that he hopes will carry forward for years to come.In lieu of new footage, the panel ended with a gag reel. Apparently, everyone does a crazy amount of dancing between takes. Also, at some point, they've donned wigs and done a head-banging tribute to Wayne's World.Reply13 repliesLeave a reply

While the recent studies based in Oregon found that the newly insured made more emergency room visits than those without insurance, Nielsen says that Massachusetts did not see a rise in emergency room use after instituting its statewide health insurance mandate.
"It remains to be seen where increases in services will occur, and it may be different in different regions," says Nielsen. "The issue is more complex than obtaining insurance for the first time, although we know that alone results in people seeking medical services. For example, if there is ready access to primary care, those will be the services that are sought by the newly insured who aren't acutely ill.
"If there is a shortage of available primary care or specific specialty areas in a region, then indeed the emergency department of hospitals may initially show an influx of patients. Hopefully those folks can then be linked with more appropriate settings for follow-up care."
Nielsen has served as senior advisor at the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
She notes that it is instructive to look at the behavior of uninsured people who are aging into Medicare; for example, a retired 63-year-old.
"It's well known that these people will typically delay seeking health services until Medicare coverage begins, and then there is an increase in services received for the first year afterward," she says. "After that, the demand for health services returns to a more normal level. That would predict a similar initial uptick in demand from those newly insured under Obamacare, with a return to more typical levels fairly soon afterward."
She adds that several other factors should be taken into account when assessing the Affordable Care Act.
"Prior to the implementation of Obamacare, acutely ill people without insurance got hospital care that all the rest of us paid for," Nielsen says. "Now there will be a third-party payer, which takes the burden from hospitals for uncompensated care and from everyone else who paid higher premiums to cover care rendered to the uninsured."
She adds that for those who obtain private insurance through state or federal exchanges, there are hefty co-pays, especially for emergency rooms, for the plans that have lower monthly premiums.
"Those hefty co-pays will cause people to pause before going to a higher cost site like a hospital emergency room unless it's really necessary," Nielsen says.
She adds that it also isn't yet known as to what proportion of the newly insured have chronic conditions.
"Once that becomes clear in about six months (since insurance has to be obtained by March to avoid the tax penalty), we can better evaluate the pressure points in a region's health care service network," she says.
"But the real news is what has been shown over and over again: lacking health insurance is hazardous to your health, so the 2.1 million newly insured Americans are in a much better place now, despite problems that will surely arise, than they were before Jan. 1."

Barcode Hero Lands the Best of Hearst
Barcode scanning applications are nothing new to iOS, and primarily iPhone users. The ability to flip a product over to the UPC and determine if you are being ripped off without even having to leave the store has been a groundbreaking evolution of the shopping experience. However, bargain hunting aside, what if from the same interface you could help you find product reviews from trusted professionals?
Barcode Hero is now going this route by not only providing price comparisons, but also adding in the ability to cross reference beauty products and video games with their respective review scores on Hearst's RealBeauty.com and 1Up.com. Both sites are trusted and well respected sources for professional reviews, so this seems like a perfect fit.
You can download Barcode Hero for free from the link below and potentially save yourself a significant amount of misery in the future. Trust us, bad makeup decisions can last for days, and bad video games can scar for life. Protect yourself and the ones you love.

Pope John Paul II(Karol Józef Wojtyla) |
His life, teachings, and legacy
Pope John Paul II was the first Polish pope and the first non-Italian since Adrian VI (1522–1523). The third longest reigning pope—26 years—he spoke eight languages and traveled more than any pope in history, visiting 129 countries. He was a champion of the poor, and many credit him with hastening in the fall of communism in Poland and other eastern bloc countries. On social issues, such as birth control, women's roles in the church, and homosexuality, he was staunchly traditional, which was a source of disappointment among the more liberal elements of the world's 1 billion–strong Catholic population. John Paul canonized 482 saints and beatified 1,338 people, believed to be more than all his predecessors combined. He also appointed nearly every member of the College of Cardinals, who will choose his successor. more »

The place to be....for the Characters, Places & Things on Television
Cast of Mystery Science Theater 3000
Tom Servo (voice of Kevin Murphy) was shot into space by mad scientists and forced to watch dreadful B movies with his friends, lab technician Joel Robinson (Joel Hodgson later replaced by Mike Nelson), the show's human host and another robot named Crow (voice of Trace Beaulieu).
Tom's body consisted of bits of an old bubble-gum machine, a penny bank and a flashlight. Crow's body was constructed from a Lacrosse face mask, a plastic bowling pin and a soap dish.
The robot's parts reflected the same poor quality of the movies shown on the program (for instance, Robots vs. the Aztec Mummy (1959), and The Giant Spider Invasion (1975).
Seen as silhouettes at the bottom of the screen, Tom, Crow and Joel spoofed the movies with a rapid fire delivery of hip, irreverent one-liners. Tom and his sharp-tongued sidekicks moved to the SCI-FI Channel in 1997.

Reviewer: DCR1
Thanks for the actual lyrics to this great song, I've seen the movie a few times and never tire of it., my first experience of it was frightening and message received. My thoughts on the song was this was about the visions one may see while going through an acid or LSD trip, I never did find out if whether or not it was based on a true story but now that I'm much older will revisit it again and see if I feel the same as I have felt about it., I do know however, a lot of times a song whether old or new will fit perfectly with a movie even if it was written for it or not, and this just happened to be one of those times., and I have to hand it to t3rry's review, it was sheer perfection!

Reviewer: Patrick
White rabbit is a great song performed by Grace Slick of Jefferson Airplane. It is taken from Lewis Carroll's book Alice in Wonderland. Alice is a metaphor for the questions we seek answers to as we progress through a drug trip.
"White Rabbit" lyrics review? |
Reviewer: arthur.scott
Wow! I was looking for something else and stumbled across this. My review of the song lyrics? There were a few reviews that were very constructive regarding the original premis. Several other reviews were pretty funny. Yet still others were annonymous bitching, which the world needs too.This free-for-all seems to have taken on a life of it's own. So be it. Songtitles are mistated and lyrics need correction. That is getting done. Now I can't wait to read-up on Lewis Carrol and Alice. Thank you all.
wow |
Reviewer: Anonymous
maybe hoppy should put that much insight into the state of the world today. It never ceases to amaze me..it never ceases to bum me out..that so many Americans will spew an overblown opinion out to the world over A SONG TITLE, and then just walk away. Thank You so much everyone for pointing out so many important miscalculations OVER A SONG. You save the music...WE'LL SAVE THE WORLD.
Idiots!! |
Reviewer: What?
If Jim Morrison were alive, he would call you all a bunch of FUCKEN IDIOTS! Yes, I know he had nothing to do with this song, but I just watched the movie the doors with Val Kilmer and just felt like saying this..........peace out.....
Wow ! |
Reviewer: Hugh
Is this thread for real?.... there are really people who grew up in the 60s that don't know that the name of this Jefferson Airplane classic is "White Rabbit". Did you live under a rock?
To the previous comment from 10/15/2012 |
Reviewer: Anonymous
You're an idiot! Go listen to the song, then read up on the history of Jefferson Airplane. Your comment clearly shows how you don't know s**t about anything about the music back in the 60's.
Not so good |
Reviewer: Andre
*I think this song isn't do good because well, it's too short, and missing a lot of details from the actual summary of the book/movie. Also, you should change the name of it, because the title "Go Ask Alice" is also the name of a book not for little kids. I don't even know the tempo/tune of the music, that goes with the lyrics.
*My strongest suggestion is that you change the name of the title.
Facts |
Grace Slick wrote the song because of the book which she thought was ironic parents read to their children as it involved drugs and then parents wondered why their children did drugs. The last line is feed your head and Lewis Carroll did indeed write the book.
The Unknown |
Reviewer: Anonymous
the book "go ask alice" isnt truly a diary. Did anyone who read it feel it didnt make as much sense as it could have? well i looked into it. alice wasnt the diarist's name...it was never mentioned.but the cloest assumtions is that her name was Carla. and there have been investigations that push that the editor of "Go Ask Alice" was also the author. and she alledgidly made over 50% of the book up.Which is a real bummer.But through her deception, she wrote another book (claimed to be a diary) called Jay's Journals. Everyone figured out it was a boy named Alden Barrett and only 21 of his 69 diary entries were used.The rest of the book was additions from other patients of the "editor" mixed with her own imagination. But truth is, Aldens family had to leave town because of the lies that were in the book. They just couldnt take the rumors.I think its wrong that the editor would screw around in other peoples lives.....

Hi, my name is t3rry. I am 62 years old. I bought the album Surrealistic Pillow whilst still a teenager. I liked the album and especially the song White Rabbit; the song is not titled Go Ask Alice although Grace Slick did coin the term in the song's lyrics.
The song is possibly the best representation of a description of an acid trip that I have ever heard, a difficult task at the best of times, and a task which I once heard described as "explaining color to a blind person."
The era was a time of spiritual, cultural, creative and personal exploration which I have not seen replicated since then, although some of the "raves" of the 90's might have steered in a similar direction.
It was a time when people, en masse, were voicing protest against war and the 9 to 5 lifestyle, cultural mediocrity, social stupidity and the inability to think freely, a time of breaking free of the bullshit of "normality;" a time that encouraged the beginning of the western Hare Krishnas, pop art and abstract painting, free form music, etc. Experimentation with psychedelics was merely a part of a non-violent widespread cultural revolution.
Personally, I loved acid, it helped me explore my own insecurities and priorities, but, I would not recommend LSD in any environment outside of the 60's and 70's as those times were an unparalleled wave of social and personal energies that nurtured the creativity that birthed; one cannot say the same about the current social demeanor.

The greatest era of our time |
I was there as the Jefferson Airplane sang this song. Nothing to do with the book. I still have all the Albums of the era of all the groups over 200.... I was a hippie and now my kids like to listen to the music of the greatest era of our time. All that mattered was music and love...MAKE LOVE NOT WAR...my children....
Correction |
4th verse, line 4
'And the Red Queen's "Off with her head!"
should read 'And the Red Queen's lost her head!'
The grammatical style of introducing a quotation after the verb 'is' did not exist in 1967.
Killing of America |
Reviewer: srmogo
I was there when this song came out but was just a kid. I keep hearing it in all the 60's Viet Nam movies so I wanted to find out a little more about it. I now understand that this kind of anti-cultural propaganda aided in bringing down the values of America, tumbling our credibility and produced a generation of entitlement minded lazy socialist. Acid popping liberal hippies are the scourge on American Greatness.
As the previous poster pointed out..... |
Reviewer: Hoppy
....some of you are COMPLETELY wrong, in your "what came first, the song or the book?" information.... The Jefferson Airplane song (White Rabbit), which is quite obviously referencing "Alice in Wonderland" in a lyrical description of shroom/acid-induced psychedelic imagery, was written in either late 1965 (when LSD first started getting popular with the counter-culture) or '66... The book (Go Ask Alice)was written 5 or 6 years later.. While the book is presented as an autobiographical account of an anonymous teenager, it is my opinion that it was another weak attempt by Big Brother to try to present young people with an anti-drug message from an apparently "hip" source... Nonetheless, the song, "White Rabbit" was written quite a while before the book, so the allegedly true accounts of the unnamed fifteen-year-old in the book, "Go Ask Alice" had absolutely no influence on the song... The song was influenced by "Alice in Wonderland" and LSD... Plain and simple... On a side note for Jillian, I too was 12 when I began smoking pot (14 or 15 when I first dropped acid)... While I am a staunch advocate of marijuana decriminalization and I believe marijuana is relatively harmless, it DOES in fact have some negative effects and shouldn't be messed around with at 12 years of age... Let your brain develop naturally in these very important formidable years... there is a time and a place for experimenting with mind expansion.... We call this time and place "college".... I honestly cannot say that I would never touch marijuana and LSD if I could go back a few decades and do it all again, but I definitely wish I would have waited until I was an adult... You only get to be a child once...

text: Board considers expanding John Adams to ease overcrowding By Mackenzie Mays November 11, 2012 CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- After months of parents voicing concerns about a redistricting plan proposed to let South Hills schools address overcrowding, the Kanawha County Board of Education is leaning more toward expanding John Adams Middle School instead of changing attendance zones in the area."I believe there is a majority of members on the board who would much rather enlarge the school than destroy a district," said Kanawha County school board President Pete Thaw. "If we add on to John Adams, that would solve the problem. We wouldn't have to redistrict at all."The John Adams expansion would cost about $1.5 million, and the board is determined to find ways to provide funding without burdening taxpayers, Thaw said.John Adams currently enrolls more students than any other middle school in the county, and when the board discussed redrawing elementary attendance zones to feed some of the overflow into the South Charleston district, many parents were outraged. At a board meeting last month, parents suggested establishing a bond to fund the John Adams expansion and offered to help find private funding as well.Thaw said private is the way to go."A bond won't sell. I am not interested in a bond issue at all. I believe we can raise the money privately, and I prefer that to taxing the people," he said. "We don't know exactly how we are going to raise the money yet, but there are ways to do it without indebting the taxpayers."Thaw said he knows one outlet the board will not get the money from: the School Building Authority. The agency, which distributes money to improve schools across the state each year, has denied the request for funding a John Adams expansion in the past. "We will have to go find the funding for this because it won't be from the SBA. They've made that very clear," Thaw said.That's because, Thaw said, state officials disagree with Kanawha County's cap on its excess levy, an additional property tax that provides millions in funding for the school system.Kanawha is the only county in the state with a cap on its excess levy, which prevents the board from spending more than $44 million of taxpayers' dollars each year."They don't like the fact we have a cap on our levy. They've said some derogatory things about it. But that cap is a godsend for the taxpayers. The county has zero bond indebtedness, and that's a wonderful place to be," Thaw said.Parents who showed up at George Washington High School's Local School Improvement Council meeting Thursday evening to address the overcrowding issue seemed skeptical about the board's plans for an expansion of the middle school."Most of the parents are skeptical because it sounds too good to be true, and I wish I could assure the families that we are not going to do anything without them knowing about it first. They think we're going to sneak up in the night and tack a sign up that says, 'redistricted.' We're not doing anything without them," Thaw said.Thaw said that while nothing is set in stone yet, the board has made the issue a top priority. "This is not urgent. It's not imminent. If we add on to John Adams, it's going to take some time because the work would be considerable," he said. "People want a timeline, but the bottom line is we don't have one. However, the board is going at this in a very deliberate manner."Reach Mackenzie Mays at email@example.com or 304-348-4814.

My brother went to school with Bill Weaver Jr; him and his father had a monster truck in the late 80s called Rambo. Bill Sr was on the original board of directors for the MTRA. Back in 1989 his truck alone was over 100 grand as it sat. That doesn't include the support trailer, tow rig, mechanics, licensing, spare parts etc.
By the time I was around, his truck was appearing regionally when the events came this way; but it was mostly used as a promotional tool. They built another truck 'Rambo Jr' which was a street legal lifted truck; his wife used to drive it to the store LOL. I spoke to Billy about 10yrs ago and they were trying to get funding to update the truck, but I don't think it ever happened. People really want that 'freestyle' stuff with backflips and blowing through campers...they can't afford to do that. Monster truck photo album |
Thanks guys for all the help, can someone tell me where or just tell me what a recipe for a 1500 hp blown alcohol Chevy (575ci limit) please? MUST HAVE FULL jackets too and be reliable Thanks everyone,
World Products - MERLIN BBC Engines At the bottom they have a drag engine lmited to 572 cubes for class racing. And offer 850 hp with out a blower. Hope this helps |
I don't know if this applies to monster trucks,but in Pro Stock there are lease deals on the engines where they are maned by the company the engine is leased from and tuned track side by the same.They install the engine track side and take it back out at the end of the race.By doing so they are protecting the tech they have in the engines.
Jim sold the business in NY.His shop is in the link in Florida.I heard rumors about the shop in NY not returning phone calls and their web site is up for renewal,but right now is off the web.
The rumors is Billy has been screwing people.Doing bad work that Mike Janis has been taking in to straighten out.
Mike Janis Racing Inc It's too bad that Billy which is a good car chief machinist is ruining Jim's rep which took yrs to establish.Guess Billy isn't a good business man. The link is useful to the O/P's question to build a blower motor. I brought up the lease idea because I am not sure of the O/P's abilities to tune a engine at that level. |

Let's hope that this time, finally, something can be done. I even heard a politician, Senator Manchin, like the #1 gun supporter in the country, say that people don't need assault weapons. About time.
The time for pacifying gun fanatics is past, and the president made that clear last night in Newtown lamenting that America had failed "to keep our children, all of them" safe and, without specifically mentioning gun control, pledged a fresh effort to curb violence. "We can't tolerate this anymore. These tragedies must end and to end them we must change," he said. "In the coming weeks, I'll use whatever power this office holds to engage my fellow citizens from law enforcement to mental health professionals to parents and educators in an effort aimed at preventing more tragedies like this. Because what choice do we have? We can't accept events like this as routine."
So what can really be done about gun violence in a country where its citizens cling desperately to their guns and bibles, relying on the United States Constitution to protect them from government intervention? The Week's Marc Ambinder offers these thoughts:
Doctors can't save every patient. But they must be able to tell the patient's family that they've done everything they can. Our politicians cannot say the same. Hollywood, by glorifying gun violence, can't say the same. If "guns don't kill people, people kill people," then make it harder for "people" to get guns. And make guns harder to be misused.
In 11 years of living in Washington, D.C., I knew one person who was mugged. In the six months since I've lived in LA, I've had a friend raped, two friends mugged at gunpoint, and another was the victim of a gay bashing attack. I take self-defense seriously. But getting a gun should be at least as hard as getting a driver's license.
A citizen who wants a gun and a concealed carry permit should go through exactly the same training and recertification as a cop would… it's easier to get a gun as a citizen than as a cop.
Criminal background checks, a basic mental health test and recertification, along with registration, limits on the types of guns available for purchase, and limits on the amount of ammo that can be bought. Guns bought and sold at hobby shows ought to be subject to the same regulations.
Hunting rifles are different than pistols and ought to be treated accordingly. One-shot-per-trigger-pull pistols ought to be as "semi-automatic" as semi-automatic can get. There ought to be a limit as to how much ammunition a gun can fire. Very rarely, if ever, will self-defense require a high-capacity clip.
If this costs money, then tax gun owners.
The NRA can set the standard for training. Their educational arm does a great job here. People who get NRA firearms training tend to be responsible with their weapons. Their political arm is opportunistic and craven, which of course it has every right to be.
Every gun bought ought to be registered with the state, just like every car you buy.
Finally, we need to examine the trade-offs between privacy and safety when it comes to mental health. Let's assume that everyone has at least some sort of crazy in them. So let's have people affirmatively prove their mental health in a psych test.
Criminals will always break laws and bad people will find ways to get guns. That's a given. But rarely in mass shootings are the perpetrators criminals before the fact; in most cases they obtain the gun legally. The argument that gun law violators are responsible for the negative externalities of gun violence ignores the fact that the black market in guns manufactured legally is enormous. The argument doesn't wash either way. The availability of guns now makes it easier for anyone, bad or good, to get them for any reason. Our concern ought to be with what can be reasonably done to mitigate the chances of mass shootings.
None of the suggestions I've made above will help the city of Chicago stem its gun murder rate, except for a lot more heavy and risky law enforcement, which costs a lot of money.
So step two is an aggressive shaming campaign to hold gun manufacturers accountable, at least in terms of being called out on it, for every criminal act their gun is used to effectuate.
The entertainment industry, movies and rap, bears responsibility for helping create a culture of permissiveness.
In terms of approbation, straw buyers of guns ought to be treated like we treat child rapists.
Start from there.

I mean no disrespect to those poor folk who lost their children and loved ones but I just can't read or watch anymore about it. It's dragging me down as well, so I need to take a break from it. No one can live in the dark without losing their ability to see.
Didn't we just debate this. I'll wait for James to start his rant.
I know it's not charitable, but every time I hear about one of these attacks, I keep hoping that the next one will happen at an NRA meeting. I'd like to see how fast any of those smartmouths react to some nut opening fire.
That would be cool wouldn't it.
How many times have we seen the NRA stand up when people of color are shot? You never once hear them say, well arm all the people of color and this will stop, nope they are the other and you should be a skeered of them. It's like missing white girl syndrome all over again. I was thinking all day today and yesterday about gun control and how we citizens can affect change from the bottom up. Hear me out, before you get to flaming me for wanting control. MADD is an example of what one person can do, against a big lobby to get dangerous people off the road. Mothers' against drunk driving if no one knows the abbreviation. This was one woman going against all kinds of stuff that managed to have something good come out of her sorrow. We need to have an uprising of responsible gun owners to come out and get the conversation going. Hubby cancelled his membership in NRA a while ago, after one of these massacres, and now I cannot think of which one, there have been so many.
I agree, and I think it's time for grassroots actions like the ones MADD used to start. Shame politicians who are in the NRA's pockets. Rally at NRA offices. Call them baby-killers. When a politician or the NRA runs a campaign ad glorifying guns and shooting, air an ad that shows what guns really do.
If people want to take things a little more radically, why not steal a page from PETA – dump blood-red paint at the doorsteps of NRA offices and smear it on the hands of members and owned politicians. Stage dead-ins. It may be the only way to prove it's what the people, not what Wayne LaPierre, want.
Jess, I have never belonged to the NRA but would quit if I had. Should I join just so I can quit in protest? Nah, that won't work.

Street Sweeping and Storm Drain Cleaning
Street Sweeping
Street sweeping is an important tool for keeping pollutants out of the storm drain system. It also keeps our neighborhoods clean! Street sweeping removes four major types of pollutants:
Natural (dirt, leaves)
Litter (trash, bottles, paper)
Sediment (dirt, soil)
Contaminants (oils, combustion byproducts, particles from tires and brake pads)
You can help keep our street sweeping program effective and efficient by following our street sweeping
and reviewing the street sweeping
for your neighborhood.A more detailed
is provided for each neighborhood.
If you live in Bay Point, your street sweeping program is managed by Delta Diablo Sanitation District. For more information call (925) 756-1900 or visit
DDSD's website
for a route map.
If you live in unincorporated Contra Costa County and would like to report problems with your schedule or missed service, please call theCounty Watershed Program's (CWP) Street Sweeping Manager at (925) 313-2236.
Storm Drain Cleaning
The CWP is also responsible for overseeing other aspects of municipal maintenance, including keeping storm drains, catch basins and drainage inlets free of pollutants such as trash and leaves, which also ensures that they function optimally and prevent localized flooding. Routine cleaning also reduces the amount of pollutants reaching our waterways.
CountyPublic Works Maintenance road crews maintain the storm drain inlets through a program of annual inspection and cleaning. Road culverts generally are not cleaned as part of this particular program. To report a clogged catch basin or drainage inlet please call Public Works Maintenance at (925) 313-7000.
The CWP also works with other Public Works Divisions to ensure thatroads are constructed and maintained using Best Management Practices (BMPs) for erosion and sediment control and to avoid introduction of pollutants into waterways.
Maps of the County's Municipal Separate Storm Sewer (MS4)/stormdrain system are available to the public for viewing at the Contra Costa County Public Works Department, 255 Glacier Drive, Martinez, CA 94553.

Evidence: Life After Death
What is the scientific evidence to support the survival of the consciousness after death. This could overlap with hauntings, mediumship and even re-incarnation, all important topics within the paranormal field, hinged on the belief of life after death. So, is there any evidence?
There's no obvious evidence from hauntings to suggest any link with the question of life after death.
I agree that there is no obvious evidence I know of that link it to hauntings. I'd say any evidence connected to hauntings points away from the possibility of Life After Death, but it is still a theory that some people follow so I put it on my list.
I agree that there is no obvious evidence I know of that link it to hauntings. I'd say any evidence connected to hauntings points away from the possibility of Life After Death, but it is still a theory that some people follow so I put it on my list.
How does the evidence point AWAY? I'm curious.
Away was not be the correct way of wording it. I think there is evidence pertaining to hauntings and ghosts that points towards them being hallucinations possibly induced by certain EMF's. There is a counter argument that spirits materialising produce these fields but there is no evidence of this as far as I am aware and I personally seriously doubt there will be and I don't know of any evidence to support the Life After Death argument where hauntings are concerned. Therefore I think the evidence is tipped more in favour of a natural explanation that one that supports the survival of consciousness.
The scientific reality is that there is no evidence from any aspect of research to support the notion of the survival of human consciousness after death.
There are some typical areas where certain researchers (some who should know better) try to shoe-horn a 'survivalist' type interpretation in. These areas include, but are not restricted to;
1 - Ghosts / Apparitions = despite over 150 years of research there is no evidence, even from good cases of haunting, for the survival of human consciousness. Most resports pertain to apparitions that appear to be oblivious to their surroundings. This is consistent with a brain-based account - but in addition - even if ghosts were real - the best evidence suggests that they are not intelligent.
2 - Psychics / Spiritualistic mediums = Perhaps the most controversial area and rife with fraud, misperception, wishful thinking and logical errors. This is the least convincing area of research in my opinion.
3 - OBEs / NDEs - these have been researched extensively since the late 1970s. To simplify things - there are two views. One is commnonly referred to as the dying-brain account for NDEs. By this account, the images seen etc are hallucinatory and the interpretations / memories are delusional. They provide no evidence for survival. Others (often referred to as survivalists / dualists / trancendental) think that NDEs do provide evidence for survival of bodily death. People such as Ken Ring, Michael Sabom, Peter Fenwick, Pim van Lommel all think that consciousness is not a brain driven thing. However, their arguments are based on false premises concerning what brain science has to say and logically fallacious reasoning concerning their own data. This does not make for a strong case.
I met an investigator and I cannot but agree with what he told me "the Afterlife, at least for the time being, is not something for science to debate since it's a matter of personal faith and that requires careful handling to say the least".
Bear in mind that the person who told me this is a "skeptic" (yes, written this way) and a self-proclaimed debunker.
OBEs and NDEs have been researched but the research has been biased to say the least. For example a few Red Army doctors were required during WWII to list the dying soldiers' final words and to carefully note if the person involved was an Orthodox Christian, a Muslim, an Atheist etc. This project was initiated to support the petty theories of some important Politburo members and has since been discredited as "heavily biased".
While at the moment we may be starting to understand the basic chemistry of life (which is much more complicated than we thought) there still is suspended judgement on what "consciousness" exactly is. Personally I think it's best to leave it that way until our knowledge is more adavnced in that direction.
"Louhi spoke in riddled tones of three things to achieve: find and catch the Devil's Moose and bring it here to me. Seize the Stallion born of Fire, harness the Golden Horse. He captured and bound the Moose, he tamed the Golden Horse. Still there remained one final task: hunt for the Bird from the Stream of Death"
-Kalevala, Rune XIII-
Maybe I'm being dim but what has consciousness got to do with life after death? Consciousness is just that part of the operation of the brain which puts together a simplified virtual picture of the world so that we can operate in it. When we're asleep it's not even operating (except perhaps for dreams). If consciousness is related to life after death, what happens if you die in your sleep?
As I understand it, there's still some pretty major questions as to the pecise mechanics of consciousness, and some have suggested collective conscious - whereby elements of an individual's conscious are "stored" outside of the human body - as the mechanism for the survival after death of memory, and how mediums etc "contact" the dead.
I agree there is still lots to learn about consciousness. However, given its known properties, it seems an unlikely vehicle for survival, as my 'sleep' paradox illustrated.
It's not a question of whether someone is asleep or awake, or even alive or dead. According to theories of collective conscious, certain elements of personality, memory etc are recorded completely independently of the physical body.

A particularly dangerous year for avalanches, Search and Rescue member says
CAROLYN GRANT/Daily Bulletin
One man is dead following an avalanche just above the Gray Creek Pass on Tuesday afternoon.
Peter Reid from Kimberley Search and Rescue says that both the Nelson and Kimberley search and rescue units responded.
"It appears that a father and his son-in-law went for a sled ride up in the Gray Creek Pass area," Reid said. "They were on a spur road, and went to turn their sleds around and triggered an avalanche. The father managed to get out and went down to Crawford Bay to call 911. The other was completely involved."
Reid says Nelson SAR was on the scene in about 15 minutes. It took Kimberley 45 minutes as they had to wait for a helicopter to come from Fernie.
"It took about an hour for the Nelson unit to locate the man," Reid said. "They located him from a RECO device on his sled. He was right beside his sled, less than a metre deep."
RECO devices, Reid says, are reflectors sewn into snowmobile clothing and located on sleds. Search and Rescue units and ski patrols are given the detectors.
"We use it when we know the subject doesn't have a beacon," Reid said.
Despite the victim being found only a meter deep, Nelson SAR members were unable to resuscitate him and he was pronounced deceased once he was transported to Nelson.
The BC Coroners Service had not yet released the name of the victim at press time.
Reid says the avalanche was not a particularly large one, perhaps 400 m wide and 600 m deep.
"It wasn't that big. I might class it as a 1.5 or 2. It was a cut block facing west and they were parked underneath it. Just the open cut block slid. They might have thought they were safe there but everything is dangerous. Just because you are on a logging road doesn't mean you are safe. Logging roads go through avalanche terrain."
Reid says avalanche terrain is particularly dangerous this year and he believes that sometimes people see a rating of "considerable" from the Avalanche Centre and think that means it's okay.
"People think considerable means safe, but it means avalanches are likely and human-triggered avalanches are very likely. People are misjudging what considerable means. There has been lots of discussion about maybe changing the word.
"There is also the thought that 'it can't happen to me' or 'I've been sledding up here for years and it's always been safe'. This year it isn't."
Kimberley SAR has a snocat, but Reid says they wouldn't take it out on a rescue right now because it's too dangerous.
"We are seeing slides taking out old growth, not just in cut blocks. That Revelstoke slide this week was massive."
He says that Kimberley and Cranbrook SAR units have built a snow study pit behind the ski hill.
"Basically you've got ball bearings under a snow pack. It takes quite a bit to trigger it — a skier might not, but a snowmobile would. But when it rips, it's big."
Reid urges backcountry users to take a good look at avalanche conditions, and if they must go out, go out prepared because it is unlikely rescue teams will reach you in time.
"Avalanche response is recovery," he said. "You need to save yourself. We can't respond fast enough."

For about 6 months now, I've been hearing a lot about The Head And The Heart from my Seattle friends. I was super excited that they were finally making their way down to CA. Last week, they played a FREE show at the Silverlake Lounge. Their energy was stupendous and the place was packed. It was nice getting to chat with them a little bit after the show and it made my day that they connected Le Grand Cru to Tommy. Hopefully they'll make it back to this area soon!

Mr. Delgardo Pitts has a passion for teaching history, but it hasn't always been easy. "It was rough my first year, almost like being initiated, but it's gotten better over time," Pitts said.
Mr. Pitts has been teaching at McKee Middle School for 8 years. He graduated from Alabama State University. He has a unique style to keep the kids attention. "Having a sense of humor takes the pressure off. Sometimes when I get a little silly they get silly too but we figure out the lesson together."
A student nominated Mr. Pitts for the Class Act award saying he's fun to talk to and he teaches so that all the students can understand. "I love it when my kids smile. It makes my day."
Congratulations Mr. Pitts on being a real Class Act.

Hipstamatic launches monthly iPad Magazine "Snap" and global art project, "Make Beautiful"
- 0
As Instagram becomes increasingly consumer, Hipstamatic holds quite a bit of promise for becoming the go-to provider for the more artistic breed of mobile users. Now, on its way to becoming a full-blown authority for iPhoneographers everywhere, the company is launching a free iPad magazine, Snap (available later today), and a global art project, Make Beautiful.
Of course, Snap isn't just a giant gallery of vintage-inspired images; it's a full-blown monthly culture and lifestyle magazine that explores artists, trends and tastemakers that span across industries and mediums. The iPad mag is entirely free, and will feature regular sections and three themed feature stories. After seeing it for ourselves, we're quite impressed.
Win a trip to Amsterdam!
We've teamed up with Product Hunt to offer you the chance to win an all expense paid trip to TNW Conference 2017!
From Lucas Buick, CEO of Hipstamatic:
We've been publishing content on our social media channels for the last two years, but we felt there was a more beautiful and cohesive way to share it with the world. That's how the idea of Snap was born. We're excited to share the breadth of our creativity through Snap, and it will be a great way to showcase some of the amazing photography coming from the Hipstamatic community.
As for Make Beautiful, the global art project was created to encourage Hipstamatic's community to make art and share beautiful moments through photos. Fueled by a manifesto, Make Beautiful has two main components: a live photo feed showcasing Hipstamatic #MakeBeautiful photos from around the world, and a library of Make Beautiful art and designs users can download and "Remix" for their own creations.
All in all, these are two major pushes from Hipstamatic to become even more involved in the creative community. Additionally, with a constant flow of content, the company certainly needed an outlet like Snap to share it with the world.

Each is closed with a tie, the bottom cut out and the rim of the bottom taped with aluminum or plastic tape to shape the lamp any way you want. With the introduction of an LED light, the bags become a light fixture.
