|I wonder what the Alphas intend to do inside St Albans church. This is what they did to a Grade 1 listed church in Reading:
'The church's interior was reordered and modernised. The Victorian pews were replaced with movable seating to allow greater flexibility in the building's use, such as the large dinners which launch the church's Alpha Courses. The pulpit was moved to the rear of the nave. A baptistery was also installed, so that new believers may be welcomed into the church family through adult baptism.'
Most newly acquired Alpha churches are 'reordered' in this way at considerable expense, generally removing pews and choir stalls to make their interiors more 'flexible' and to increase their income from other users. I doubt if we'll recognise the place when it's finished!

InFocus M330 review: To let you shift your focus
Decent design
Vivid display
Splendid performance
Built-in NFC support
Fair enough battery power
4G LTE support absent
Inferior auto-focusing on rear camera
Dated Android version
Heats-up a bit
The InFocus M330 has all the things that one demands in an affordable smartphone today. However, its competitors have more features and some popular branding to easily persuade buyers.
When it comes to the affordable range of smartphones, each new company tries to do its best to grab some market share. However, there are still a handful of smartphone vendors available in the market that are offering the best experience under affordable segment. US-based InFocus entered India with launching its entry-level InFocus M2 and has recently launched the InFocus M330 in the Indian market to compete against those handful of smartphone vendors. The new smartphone comes almost at the same price at which we already seen some of the powerful smartphones such as Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G and Yu Yureka. But the company claims that it has something different. We started using the InFocus M330 a couple of days before its launch in the country to test its performance on our benchmarks. So here begins our in-depth review.
What's in the Box
Similar to its competitors, the InFocus M330 does not come in a box full of goodies. The box itself is quite sober and simple to easily make customers judge its price. Moreover, it has InFocus branding on top and all the similar design aspects that we previously noticed on its even cheaper model.
Opening the box shows the InFocus M330 unit and some related content, including a microUSB-to-USB data cable, AC charger, headset and a quick start guide. The quality of in-box content justifies the price of the smartphone.
Although we were hoping for at least a screen protector inside the box, it has not been included to maintain the cost of the smartphone.
Watch InFocus M330 unboxing video:
InFocus tries to compete against market leaders with using a high-grade plastic material for designing the InFocus M330. Furthermore, there is a silver, brushed metal finish and matte plastic presence to persuade buyers.
The front of the InFocus M330 shows a large-size display panel with Corning Gorilla Glass 2 protection on top. There are three touch-sensitive keys below the display and an earpiece, ambient and proximity sensors and an RGB LED notification light are available on its top.
On the left side, the InFocus M330 has a volume rocker with metal finish.
The right side has a power/lock key with the same finish that also available on the volume rocker on the left.
The top of the Infocus M330 has a 3.5mm jack for extending its audio support.
On the bottom, there is a microUSB port and a primary microphone.
The rear side of the InFocus M330 has a matte-finished plastic rear cover in white color. The cover has InFocus logo and a room for the loudspeaker grill. The rear cover additionally has an NFC chip to let users easily share content using the built-in NFC connectivity. Besides, there is a primary camera sensor along with an LED flash and a secondary microphone are available on the rear.
As the rear side of the InFocus M330 has a removable cover, it hides a battery compartment and has two SIM card slots and a microSD card slot.
Overall, the design of the InFocus M330 is as impressive as of any other affordable Android smartphones in the market. Each and every material that the company used on the designing front just makes the smartphone an attractive piece under Rs. 10,000 price bracket.
The InFocus M330 has 78.1mm height, 153.4mm width and 9.3mm thickness on the part of its dimensions. In addition, it weighs 167 grams with its removable battery pack.

Blake's Visions
Michael O'Sullivan
Blake denigrates the visual, and sensory experience generally, as incapable of yielding genuine insight. Yet he cites his own "visions" as sources of spiritual insight. How does he conceive of visions such that they escape the limitations of the sensory? I argue that he has a coherent solution to this problem, combining an empiricist view of sense experience with an anti-empiricist view of experience in general.
There is an apparent tension in William Blake's attitude to the visual. Blake denies the value of sense perception, and of perceptible natural objects, as sources of genuine insight. And he is dismissive of "natural religion" (as natural theology was called in the period) on the grounds that natural objects as present to the senses are insufficient to ground religious experience.
Blake's own spiritual experiences are, however, typically described in intensely visual terms. As a child of eight, he saw "a tree filled with angels" on the common at Peckham Rye in south London, and throughout his life reports "visions" as a source of insight. The narrative of "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell" is largely composed of reports of what the narrator "saw" in hell. What observation of nature lacks is, it seems, to be supplied by visions undergone by Blake himself and by others.
This generates a puzzle. Given the limitations of the senses, as they are conceived by Blake himself, how can he have understood his visions such that they transcend these limitations? Why do such experiences not yield merely more of the same?
In this paper I argue that the tension can be resolved by attention to Blake's implicit conception of what a vision is. There is an important sense in which Blake does not conceive of visions as primarily visual experiences at all. I begin in section one by exploring Blake's doubts about the scope and value of sense perception. We find that these arise from a conception of sense perception which is fundamentally empiricist. In section two I explore how Blake conceives of visions, and find that he adheres to an anti-empiricist conception of the nature of visions or hallucinations. In the third section I explore some implications of this contrast for how Blake understands human beings and human cognition.
§ 1. Blake on the senses
Blake conceives of spiritual insight in terms of knowledge, and insists that knowledge is to be gained through experience. He declares, in "All Religions Are One" (p. 98), that "As the true method of knowledge is experiment, the true faculty of knowing must be the faculty which experiences" (1). But he denigrates mere sense perception, saying in "There is No Natural Religion" (p. 97) that "None could have other than natural or organic thoughts if he had none but organic perceptions". And, in a passage from "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell" to which we will return (p. 153), he has the prophet Isaiah deny that his experiences of God were "finite organical perceptions". The distinction between the mere sense perception that he denigrates, and the visions to which he attributes such spiritual significance must therefore be a difference between kinds of experience.
Sensory experience is impoverished, in the first instance, because of the finitude of its objects. Those things which we can perceive through the senses are all of them finite. In distinguishing mere sensory experience from those perceptions which he held to be of value, Blake emphasised the finitude of the former. "The bounded is loathed by its possessor", but "He who sees the Infinite in all things, sees God" (There is No Natural Religion, p. 98).
As a result, Wordworth's claim to "see into the life of things" through the observation of nature is suspect. In his annotations to the first volume of Wordsworth's collected poems (1815), Blake writes (p. 783): "Natural Objects did & now do weaken, deaden & obliterate Imagination in Me. Wordsworth must know that what he writes valuable is not to be found in nature." Blake holds that genuine artistic inspiration cannot be derived from nature. We should note here the strength of Blake's criticism. One might argue that an experience of natural objects, if described in merely naturalistic terms, is of little spiritual value. The poet has to do more than describe the natural properties of the world in order to capture the value of such experiences. But Blake's position is much stronger: valuable experience does not arise from confrontation with natural objects at all. Though Wordsworth's poetry is of value, its value is not founded in Wordsworth's experiences of nature: such experiences lack value because they have the wrong sort of object.
Writers of the period had, under the rubric of "natural religion", attempted to justify inferences from the observation of natural objects to the existence or attributes of God. The inference is typically meant as an explanatory one. God qua craftsman is required to explain the presence of certain phenomena in nature. Blake holds that such arguments are futile. The problem is not that positing a divine craftsman fails as explanation. Instead, the problem stems once again from the finitude of natural objects. Since these are finite, any craftsman whose existence could be required to explain them need not be other than finite, and a finite craftsman is not genuinely divine. "He who sees the Infinite in all things, sees God. He who sees the Ratio only, sees himself only" (p.98).
In this Blake echoes a criticism of natural religion made by David Hume in his Enquiry concerning Human Understanding: "if the cause be known only by the effect, we never ought to ascribe to it any qualities, beyond what are precisely requisite to produce the effect: Nor can we, by any rules of just reasoning, return back from the cause, and infer other effects from it, beyond those by which alone it is known to us" (2). The finite and imperfect objects (however impressive) to be found in nature do not provide a basis for a sound inference to the existence of God, if by "God" we mean something either perfect or infinite. The argument from design, assuming it to be valid, would prove at most that nature is the product of a clever craftsman.
This is problematic in two ways. First, apparent imperfections in nature would have also to be ascribed to the creator. One could not legitimately explain away such apparent imperfections by invoking an unknown divine plan, since would have no grounds to assume that God is any more perfect than natural phenomena themselves. It is inconsistent to claim that apparent imperfections in nature will be made good by God in the end, while one's argument for God is itself based on the putative excellence of nature. Second (and most pertinently in this context), even in the absence of apparent imperfections, one would not be justified in inferring the existence of a greatest possible being. That is, even if one were justified in affirming a craftsman skilful enough to design a plant or animal, one would not be justified in denying that a greater craftsman again could not exist. Naturalistic inference cannot bring us to the God that the natural theologian had in his sights to begin with. Similarly, Blake denies that one can cognise the infinite through the observation of finite particulars.
In his conception of sense perception, Blake echoes his predecessors in the tradition of British empiricism, who also held that it is limited to finite particulars. The parallels between Blake and Hume on natural religion should therefore be unsurprising. He does the same in his conception of reason. Reason is limited by what is afford to it by the deliverances of the senses.
In the series of etchings "There is No Natural Religion" (circa 1788), Blake writes that man, if limited in "desires and perceptions" by the organs of sense would be "unable to do other than repeat the same dull round over again" (p. 97). Reasoning based on sensory perception does nothing to extend the range of things we can know.
The concept of reason is connected with that of a ratio: "the ratio of all we have already known" (p. 97). Reason is considered merely as an operation on what is given to the senses: nothing new can be known through reason. Thus Blake's conception of reason follows that of the British empiricists (particularly Locke and Berkeley, both of whom he seems to have read): reason does not originate knowledge. It is because of reason's merely comparative or analytical function that man limited by the organs of natural perception is condemned merely "to repeat the same dull round over again".
The notion of the ratio connects reason with finitude. What can be seen is what can be divided.
The notion of the ratio may remind us of Blake's figure of Newton, dividing geometrical figures with a compass while crouching, gazing downward. In "The Song of Los", Blake's narrative of modernity, we find that (p. 246)
the terrible race of Los & Enitharmon gaves
Laws & Religions to the songs of Har, binding them more
And more to Earth, closing and restraining,
Till a Philosophy of Five Senses was complete.
Urizen wept & gave it into the hands of Newton & Locke.
More generally, Blake's delimitation of reason is a critique of Enlightenment thought. What had seemed to some a liberation was in reality a further imprisonment in the domain of the merely sensory.
§ 2. Blake's visions
How, then, does Blake conceive of his visions, if they are not to be limited in the same way as merely sensory experience? Isaiah in "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell" (p. 153), describes in this way his own experience of speaking to God to Blake's narrator: "I saw no God, nor heard any, in a finite organical perception." In Blake's words in propria persona in "There is No Natural Religion" (p. 97): "Man's perceptions are not bounded by organs of perception; he percieves more than sense (tho' ever so acute) can discover."
In "Marriage" (p. 153), Blake's narrator asks Isaiah and Ezekiel "how they dared so roundly to assert that God spake to them", and Isaiah answers: "I saw no God, nor heard any, in a finite organical perception, but my senses discover'd the infinite in everything, and as I was then perswaded, & remain confirm'd, that the voice of honest indignation is the voice of God, I cared not for consequences, but wrote."
In answer to the narrator's question "does a firm perswasion that a thing is so, make it so?", Isaiah replies : "All poets believe that it does, & in ages of imagination this firm perswasion removed mountains but many are not capable of a firm perswasion of any thing."
Isaiah's reference to persuasion – that is, conviction – make it plain that visions are not themselves merely sensory experiences. They are cognitive achievements. Indeed, they must be so, since a further sensory experience, even if not the product of eyesight or any of the other sense organs, would presumably be limited to the same domain of objects as is eyesight itself. Merely postulating a further sense organ would not explain how one can know more than the merely finite.
Blake sometimes uses the notion of the imagination to describe the human capacity for knowledge of the infinite. What is of value in Wordsworth's work is yielded not by perception but by imagination. In his annotations to Wordsworth (p. 783) Blake writes, "Imagination is the Divine Vision not of The World, or of Man, nor from Man, as he is a Natural Man, but only as he is a Spiritual Man. Imagination has nothing to do with Memory."
Blake's conception of the imagination contrasts with Wordsworth's. For Wordsworth, imagination reconciles man with nature; for Blake it allows him to transcend it. Wordsworth's imagination is the human analogue of that soul which he considers to be present in the nature.
Wordsworth had a transcendental conception of the imagination. He began with a certain conception of nature and ask what human capacities must be like in order to be equal to an experience of nature so conceived. For Blake, by contrast, the understanding of the mind as bearing a relation to natural objects is precisely the limitation which human beings must transcend and which the imagination allows them to transcend.
To appreciate the novelty of Blake's approach, we can usefully compare it to the accounts of hallucination offered by the British empiricists. Discussing Blake's visions under the rubric of "hallucination" is not wholly unproblematic. In particular, the term "hallucination" may connote a psychological style of explanation, according to which such experiences are pathologies either of the perceptual system or of the intellect. Such connotations are part of Blake's target, as I shall argue in section three. Nevertheless, the empiricists were interested in hallucinations understood as quasi-perceptual experiences without any natural object. Understood in this broad sense, it may be worthwhile to draw the comparison. In doing so, we find that Blake combines an empiricist account of sense perception with an anti-empiricist account of hallucination.
Two distinct accounts of hallucination can be found in the writings of the early modern empiricists. On one account, hallucinations are to be distinguished from perceptions through their faintness. A genuine perception involves the formation of a particularly vivid image. This view is notably expressed by Hume, according to whom the contents of the mind divide into what he calls "ideas" and "impressions". Impressions are more forceful and lively than ideas.
In general, Hume wishes to identify impressions with perceptual experiences, and ideas with other forms of mental imagery, including memory and imagination. But his effort to distinguish these mental events in this way breaks down. "In sleep, in a fever, in madness, or in any very violent emotions of the soul our ideas may approach to our impressions" (3). Hallucinations can be just as vivid as perceptual experiences, but Hume is independently committed to considering these as different sorts of experience.
On the second view, notably advocated by Berkeley (4), hallucinations are to be distinguished by virtue of their relative incoherence. Our sensory experiences are regular and ordered – I see the same things before and after closing my eyes for a moment, or before leaving them and on returning. But hallucinatory objects appear and disappear unpredictably. For Berkeley, then, the ingredients of hallucinations and of perceptual experiences are of the same sort. The difference is one of structure.
Either account assumes that sense perceptions and hallucinations have contents of the same sort. They have the same sort of object – I may either perceive or hallucinate a lion or London. On Hume's official account the two experience will differ in vividness; on Berkeley's the lion will be more stable if perceived than if hallucinated. But it will be a lion in either case. Currently dominant accounts have the same implication. In contemporary philosophy of mind, it is most often assumed that hallucinations have a representational content similar to that of perceptual experiences, but a representational content that misrepresents the state of the world. Thus perceptions and hallucinations are mental states of the same type, and with representational contents of the same type, but they differ according to the accuracy of that content. On Blake's conception this cannot be correct. Hallucinations have objects which are of a different order of significance from the objects of perception. Further, conviction enters into the having of hallucinations, which it does not into perceiving.
Given these points of contrast, it may be asked whether there is anything at all in common between sense perception and Blake's spiritual experiences. If not, it might be thought that referring to the latter as "visions" is nothing but misleading. However, there are two crucial elements of sense perception that are retained in visions as Blake understands them. First, there is an emphasis on clarity. Visions are distinguished from mere sensory perception by their greater determinacy. Where the senses give us blur, visions give us determinacy. Thus in visions we see more than we do in sense perception: in this respect, they are perfected perceptions.
In his notebooks around 1810 Blake criticises Pope and others for their confused and vague manner of expression, comparing it to the painting style of Titian and Rubens. "Ideas cannot be given but in their minutely Appropriate Words, nor can a Design be made without its minute Appropriate Execution" (p. 596). The same idea is, I think, at work here. Indeterminacy marks a failure of cognition; to see things clearly is to see more, just as to express oneself in a determinate way is to express more (5).
Second, Blake is insistent on the particularity of the objects of his visions. In his visions he apprehends particulars: "it is in particulars that wisdom consists and happiness too" (p. 611). In this respect too visions resemble sense perception, since that faculty yields awareness of particulars and not of generalities. This was a crucial theme of Berkeley (6), whom Blake read and admired. Thus, in denying that the objects of his visions are "finite particulars", it is their finitude and not their particularity that Blake wishes to deny.
§ 3. The psychological and the Satanic
Blake's visions, we have already seen, have two features which distinguish them from hallucinations as understood in the empiricist tradition. First, they are not merely sensory experiences, in as much as conviction enters into the having of them. Second, their objects are of a different nature. They are not limited to the finite, as natural perceptions are.
In these respects, Blake's visions may better be compared to the delusional experiences of the mentally ill, in particular of schizophrenics, than with ordinary perceptual experiences. These too come weighted with a significance which (it seems) a merely sensory experience could not bear. Schizophrenics see their experiences as revealing something about the world which is not revealed in ordinary sense experience. There is thus a sense in which Blake is a defender of the view that visions are a product of madness. They are neither pathologies of the visual system, nor are they misinterpreted by-products of it. Rather, they indicate a fundamentally different world view on the part of those who undergo the visions.
But there is a deeper sense in which Blake is a critic of the madness view. To see the point, we can return to his view of reason as a mere ratio of the deliverances of the senses. Since reason is limited in this way it cannot yield knowledge of the infinite. It follows that visions are not products of reason either. I wish to suggest that Blake's thought makes the following step: he concludes that just as visions are not pathologies of the sensory faculty, they are not pathologies of the intellect either.
In this way, Blake rejects a certain sort of account of visions which explains them in not just sensory but, more broadly, psychological terms. In rejecting psychological explanations of visions, Blake aligns himself with a pre-modern conception of them as either divine or Satanic in origin. Indeed, in the first instance Blake's concern is to defend the disjunction rather than either of the disjuncts. His visions have their origin not in human psychology as it is conceived within a scientific world-view, but rather in the domain which is shared by the divine and the Satanic. From this point of view, Blake's defence of hell in "Marriage" arises from his insistence that Satanic experience has a significance beyond that of quotidian perceptual experience.
A remark made by Blake in his annotations to Lavater's Aphorisms is relevant here. Lavater had written "He alone is good, who, though possessed of energy, prefers virtue, with the appearance of weakness, to the invitation of acting brilliantly ill." Blake remarks (p. 77): "Noble! But Mark! Active Evil is better than Passive Good."
Blake's defence of the Satanic as not psychological is a rejection of modernity, including both scientific and religious modernity. The priesthood is guilty, along with the scientist, of pathologising the Satanic and thus suppressing some of the spiritual insights that are available to human beings. The sinister priests of "Songs of Experience" are described in terms that echo Blake's criticisms of the merely sensory as limiting, binding and earthbound (p. 215):
And I saw it was filled with graves,
And tomb-stones where flowers should be;
And Priests in black gowns were walking their rounds
And binding with briars my joys & desires (7).

All Your Rock n Roll/Entertainment Events That I Find Interesting Enough To Post To My Blog!Read With Great Pleasure!
Monday, November 14, 2011
Interesting story appeared late Friday on Billboard.com, after I broke news via Twitter that Van Halen had ditched plans to sign to Columbia and chose LA based Interscope Records instead. Read below for a little more inside information on the signing.
Here's my take - I was told the band wanted a "hipper" label - they got that - but they also wanted a LA based label to be closer to the action and the decisions that would need to be made over the next 6 months (with the album and tour etc..)
Read through the insider comments below and it seems that was indeed the case, but I was surprised to read that it was singer David Lee Roth that was making this demand, as it seems the plan is to have him front and centre for upcoming PR push.
This to me is an interesting point. The Van Halen camp want us to believe that the band is a united team....but I see this more as the Van Halen Brothers being acutely aware that they must keep DLR happy, as he is their only option to move forward and continue touring/recording...or at the heart of it...making money!
The band simply had to fulfil fan demands for the DLR partnership from 2008 to continue and (finally) record a new album after 13 years wait. Going back to Sammy Hagar certainly wasn't an option. I can't see how that will ever work again after Sammy's book and continued comments on the state of VH....plus the fact Sammy won't return without Michael Anthony.
And moving forward with a 4th lead singer, or a collaboration of various singers on one album (something we've continually heard Eddie would like to do), would cause such a revolt amongst fans (still burnt from the Gary Cherone album/tour) that any hope of making big bucks on tour would be wiped clean.
So David Lee Roth is the lynch pin in this scenario, and therefore holds all the power. Signing to Interscope is an interesting decision and I for one hope that it comes together nicely for the band. If Roth is to do the bulk of the press, one wonders if Eddie will be available at all? After all, there is a lot of questions fans and press have for him.
It will be interesting to see if this VH/DLR relationship is authentic and if there is genuine chemistry between the guys on record and on stage. I for one think that is crucial.
And one thing remains absolutely vital. This new studio record must absolutely 100% kick some serious ass. On a lighter note - as a die-hard Van Halen fan, it's nice to see the light at the end of the tunnel. It's good to feel excited about new music coming our way.
From Billboard: Van Halen To Sign With Interscope / By Shirley Halperin, THR / www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/industry/record-labels/van-halen-to-sign-with-interscope-1005511802.story
"Iconic rock band Van Halen are set to sign with Interscope Records, says a source familiar with the negotiations. The deal is expected to be finalized next week, marking the first time in 35 years that the band will not release music through Warner Music, its longtime label home.
It had been rumored -- and reported -- that the band was joining the Columbia Records roster. In fact, an insider tells The Hollywood Reporter that the contract for the Sony deal was drawn up and approved but hadn't been signed when Universal Music stepped into the picture.
The signing was a group effort involving UMG chairman and CEO Lucian Grainge, UMG International COO Max Hole, Interscope Geffen A&M vice chairman Steve Berman and Interscope's Jimmy Iovine, who, says a source, "heard the band was available and wanted to work with them. It was decided at the 11th hour." What came next was a series of meetings that presented the band with a global plan that included extensive marketing, merchandising, touring and, of course, recordings.
So what derailed the Columbia deal? The usual rock band complications, says an insider. While the group reunited with original singer David Lee Roth in 2006, the Sony label could not come to terms with Roth, who has a separate management, legal and accounting team than the other three members, guitarist Eddie Van Halen and his son Wolfgang (who replaced bassist Michael Anthony) and drummer Alex Van Halen. The main issue for Roth? He was apparently adamant about being on a west coast label. "He was never on board [with Columbia]," says the source. "It was as complicated as anyone would imagine, when one side says black, the other says white. The label was pretty sceptical that things would work out."
It's expected that as frontman, Roth will have to carry much of the marketing burden and it seems the band members ultimately want their singer to be happy with the deal which is why they went with Universal's west coast-based Interscope.
A new album, their first studio effort since 1984, is believed to be nearly finished with the hope that it can be released in 2012. The band is expected to make a "special announcement" on Nov. 30 at the Grammy Awards nominations concert, which will air live on CBS from Los Angeles' Nokia Theater.
An Interscope rep had no comment."

Skip to comments.Scruggs, son, others charged with conspiring to bribe judge.( Trent Lott's Brother in Law )
Posted on 11/28/2007 7:23:30 PM PST by Leisler
A grand jury in North Mississippi has indicted Richard "Dickie" Scruggs, his son, Zach Scruggs, Scruggs Law Firm attorney Sidney A. Backstrom, attorney Timothy Balducci and former State Auditor Steve Patterson for conspiring to bribe a state court judge in North Mississippi over a case that involved funds from a settlement with State Farm insurance companies. The indictment, filed late Thursday, said Scruggs attempted to influence Lackey in the case by offering him $40,000 for an order that would resolve the lawsuit Jones vs. Scruggs in favor of Dickie Scruggs and the Scruggs Law Firm.
Dickie Scruggs also is accused of attempting to conceal his and the other attorneys' involvement in the alleged bribery attempt.
The Scruggeses were not in their law office Thursday afternoon and the law firm's attorney, Joey Langston, did not return telephone calls to comment.
Scruggs, whose brother-in-law is Sen. Trent Lott, R-Miss., earned millions from asbestos litigation and from his role in brokering a multibillion dollar settlement with tobacco companies in the mid-1990s. After Katrina hit on Aug. 29, 2005, the Gulf Coast native sued insurers on behalf of hundreds of policyholders whose claims were denied after the storm.
Dickie must be one dumb lawyer. Should have added a charge of felonious stupidity.
He should have sat on the hundreds of millions he probably made earlier from the tobacco and asbestos settlements.
He's not dumb.
Dickie Scrugg's WIKI
Richard "Dickie" Scruggs was hired by Mississippi Attorney General Mike Moore to assist with a lawsuit against thirteen tobacco companies in the 1990s. Prior to that he was known for his class action lawsuits against the asbestos industry. Settlement of the state's case against the tobacco companies was for 368 billion dollars (USD). His performance in this case was portrayed in the movie The Insider by Colm Feore. Scruggs also would lead and become a spokesman for the plaintiffs in the Ritalin class action lawsuits. He asserted that the Ritalin defendants, "manufactured a disease"...and "it has been grossly over-prescribed. It is a huge risk." All five class actions in five separate states were dismissed before trial.
Scruggs attended law school at the University of Mississippi with Mike Moore. He practiced law in Jackson, Mississippi and New York before opening his own private practice in Pascagoula, Mississippi.
Scruggs and his wife Diane are ardent supporters of the University of Mississippi, having made large donations to several organizations on campus. Scruggs Hall was named in their honor. It currently houses the Music department.
Scruggs' brother-in-law is Senator Trent Lott, former Majority Leader of the US Senate. Scruggs is currently representing Lott through the Scruggs Katrina Group in a lawsuit against insurance company State Farm because of damage stemming from Hurricane Katrina.
Robert Hood tapped Scruggs to file suit against on behalf of Mississippi against numerous insurance companies to recover damages in wake of Katrina. On June 15, 2007, U.S. District Court Judge William Acker, in an opinion recommending that Scruggs be prosecuted for criminal contempt, suggested high pressure tactics were unfairly used to pressure the insurance companies into settlement, and that documents were improperly sent to Hood's office "for the calculated purpose of ensuring noncompliance with or avoidance."[1]
On Wednesday, November 28, Scruggs was indicted by a federal grand jury on charges that he and a group of four others attempted to bribe Mississippi Third Circuit Court Judge Henry L. Lackey with around $40,000. This payment was allegedly in exchange for a favorable ruling in a case involving $26.5 million in disputed legal fees related to his Scruggs Katrina Group litigation team.
There's always a lawyer with a bigger yacht or younger third wife.
Trent Lott just resigned from the Senate. Makes a man wonder . . .
There are no coincidences...
I think I see the problem. Things are done a little differently north of I-10.
Regardless of his biography, a lawyer who attempts to bribe a judge is dumb.
I'm thinkin' Dickie went up against the wrong bunch this time. Don't mess with insurance companies. I'm sure Trent Lott knew what would come of messin' with State Farm, but he did what he thought was right. It must have been decided by some powers that be that it would be disastrous if insurance companies had to pay for damage that occurred during Hurricane Katrina. It was no big deal to take out big tobacco companies and their coffers. It was no big deal to take out asbestos companies. But don't mess with insurance.
Not that I'm a fan of Dickie Scruggs. Quite frankly, there are quite a few law firms in MS that give me the heebie-jeebies, no thanks to John Grisham novels.
Few people want to pay for a quality house, or quality insurance. You can get anything insured, under any circumstance. You just can't get it at any old price. I would imagine a glorified stick frame house, below flood level and on open water would be very expensive.
Which might be why the judge turned him in. But I have to disagree on the 'lots of bribing in law'. 30 years ago I worked in the law. I'm currently a paralegal student. From my experience, lawyers, for the most part, avoid ehtics violations like the plague.
MS Ping
True, but attempted bribe of a judge is coloring waaaaaaay outside the lines.
It is a bit gauche. Perhaps whispering of a Federal Judgeship would of been more in order. What with a state and Federal pension and all. Nothing on paper mind you, and all because of the agust judge coming to the lucky attentions of others.
A corrupt trial lawyer? Who would have thought!
Thanks, petitfour!

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23 (UPI) -- Former NBC Nightly News anchorman Brian Williams was mocked on Twitter Tuesday, after returning to television for live coverage of Pope Francis' highly anticipated visit to the United States.
Viewers on Twitter would not let Williams live down the falsified stories he reported on when he was in Iraq and started the trending hashtag #BrianWilliamsPopeStories as a way to joke about potential fake pope stories the journalist could produce.

Opinions, analysis and random musings from an independent filmmaker
Sunday, March 04, 2012
I am writing this on a plane on the way to the Byron Bay International Film festival. So far my phone hasn't caused a major failure in the plane's navigational system, but if you are now reading this newsletter posthumously, the jokes on me.
It's a cliche I know, but I actually worried about what I would wear to the red carpet opening night tonight. There is no getting past it though. In the film industry, where the entire product is based on pretend characters, played on false sets or locations, appearances matter.
But how much?
Last year I made an exploratory trip to Los Angeles, to see how the ideological centre of the industry operates. It was certainly eye opening, but not for the reason you think.
What struck me was how many disappointed tourists there were. They had grown up watching the glorious facades of Hollywood, only to get there and find out it was a working town. Hollywood is a lot like Detroit, extremely functional with only a few real tourist fun spots. The only difference is Detroit exports the blue collar car industry and Hollywood the glitz of entertainment. But that's not what they tell you on TV and the movies.
The same thing has happened at filmmaker "meet and greets" I've been too. There are always people at these events who put a lot of effort into looking 'successful' or appearing to be 'developing projects', when their film slate or CV shows they have barely finished a script or a short film. They try their best to look the part, can actually be quite rude (because they are trying to avoid being caught out) and have little experience to talk about and add to the knowledge of the other filmmakers in the room.
They certainly have 'cool' clothes though.
There is something to be said for good grooming, but even more to be said for authenticity. Lady gaga hasn't learned this lesson yet, but she's working on it.
The realisation for me, as I critiqued my way mercilessly through my own wardrobe, was that its easy to be distracted by appearing to be successful. It's much harder to actually be a success.
In the end, rather than trying to construct a veneer of impressive glamour, or pretending to be a major success, I decided to just dress like myself.
Jeans, a white tshirt and a suit jacket.
I'll impress them with my jokes.
Assuming the plane lands safely.

Seven years ago this morning at 4:09 AM, I became a mom of boys. Or one at the time. After we got over the shock of a blond hair, blue-eyed pale child (okay, so we're still not over the shock not.at.all.) we had to figure out a name for the little guy. This is how it went, at 16 weeks, I had an ultrasound that said I was having a boy. And we thought of names but Jeff was reluctant to agree to anything. By the time we got into the OR, we had it narrowed down to six. Eight hours after he was born, Jeff agreed to my choice of Joseph Patrick. Joseph meaning, "God will give another son" and we were thrilled to have a second child, and, wouldn't you know, we did get another son 20 months later. Patrick meaning, "noble." And out little guy well, he has noble intentions!
Seven years. Hard to believe, he's a first grader now. He can read now. He solves for "x" in math. He has permanent teeth.
Because Joseph's birthday falls early in the school year, we typically haven't had school parties, and he's okay with that. For this year we gave him a weekend of birthday and filled it with fun.
On Friday I downloaded one of his gifts, Minecraft to the iPad (which subsequently the cord died on…so we gotta replace that). They got to play that after school.
Saturday he got to play more Minecraft until my parents got here. They came for the afternoon/evening and got him Skylanders Swapforce. After mass we all went to Red Robin where Joseph got a sundae for his birthday and a special recognition.
This morning we let Joseph sleep in. The other kids got up and ate and eventually Joseph did get up and requested to open presents first. He got from us a Spiderman bag full of goodies. He got a Toothless plush dragon from How To Train Your Dragon he requested and a Skylanders water bottle he wanted. Since he got (along with Minecraft) everything he asked for from us I decided to fill the bag up with other goodies he would like. He got candy corn and pumpkins, pumpkin marshmallows, Cocoa Puffs (his favorite sugar cereal–we don't eat sugar cereal unless it's a special occasion), hot cocoa (he loves that his birthday coincides with the beginning of the fall and colder weather), a cool Halloween cup, and some fun candy. Jeff also found a larger size Mario figure that he knew Joseph would love.
This afternoon Jeff took both boys to the bowling alley per Joseph's request. They bowled a great game where Joseph bowled a 94 and then they played video games.
Jeff's dad and step-mom came over for dinner. They brought Pizza Hut as it's Joseph's favorite. From them he got a gift card to Gamestop and a family membership to the NC Zoo which also includes all three state aquariums and 1/2 price admission to a huge planetarium in Chapel Hill and a few other science centers/museums in our state and in other states there are reciprocal memberships. We've wanted to go the zoo for a while. And now they have a litter of lion cubs who just went on display full time. Our local aquarium also recently got a bald eagle who will be there permanently as he was injured and not able to be fully rehabilitated into the wild. There is also an aquarium at the beach we vacation at in the summer. I really look forward to using this pass and Joseph has been studying the zoo map intently!
We had cake, which Jeff made. Here it is:
We had these figures ahead of time except the mushroom and Mario, which were Joseph's presents he opened today. His Mario was too heavy to sit on the cake, but we loved making the cake ourselves and had fun with the idea. And it was delicious and Joseph really enjoyed it.
I cannot wait to see what this new year with our oldest boy has in store. If the first day is any indication, we have a lot of great stuff to look forward to!

For 17-year-old Seeker, Janie Grey, ridding the Baltimore streets of the undead is an inherited duty passed down from her Cherokee ancestors. Seeker Training Lesson #1: Never trust the undead. After her father's tragic death, Janie creates her own life lesson: Love isn't worth the risk. Both lessons are easy to follow until she encounters the flawed Kai Sterdam. At first, she believes he is the hybrid she is trained to hunt. But, when he has human traits, she determines she doesn't know what he is. As Janie's intrigue over who Kai is pushes her deeper into his mysterious past, she discovers a shocking truth that is even more harrowing than the evil they are up against. It's a secret Kai wants to keep hidden, especially from Janie.
"Cliché in the YA Genre"
The first cliché or misconception I think people have about the young adult genre is that it's only for teens. I'm a prime example of how this is not true. I've been reading YA since I was a teenager, and let's just say, I'm at least a decade past those years. I even think I started reading more YA when I was in my 20's. I believe the Twilight Saga helped show the world that young adult books are not just for teens. Especially since many Twi-Hards are the mothers of teenagers. So, thank you Stephenie Meyer for helping make YA the popular genre it is today, I love YA because it can cross many genres within one story. For instance, Across the Universe by Beth Revis is dystopian, sci-fi, mystery and romance all wrapped up into one great book.
Another cliché would be that all YA paranormal romance is filled with vampires, werewolves, fallen angels, etc. Yes, much of the market is saturated with these mythical creatures (which I happen to love), but there are still ways to make them new and exciting. For instance, Dark Seeker includes a new type of vampire called Daychildren – a demon/vampire hybrid. They are much more dangerous than your "average" vampire and also possess demonic abilities. So, yes, even thought the YA market is filled with mythical creatures there are still ways to make them fresh and exciting. I know I'm not ready to let them go.
Below is a little piece of the cover of the 2nd book in the series! Find more of the puzzles pieces on other stops of the tour to complete the cover!

text: when i'm thoroughly enjoying the book i'm reading, i've noticed that by the last 40 pages or so i pick up the book less and less in an effort to make it last. i drift away from the story wondering what i'll do when the book is finished – thinking nothing will ever compare. and all of a sudden i realize i've somehow missed the last 2 pages. as the story nears its end i don't mind reading the pages over and over again. i've always wondered... how is it possible to read while you're thinking? there is probably a simple answer but i've never gone so far as to figure it out. i think i like the mystery of it.... look at me, I can think and read at the same time!

This wreath was so simple to make - I mean seriously easy. It took me all about 15 minutes to make, but this simple wreath adds so much to my entry way! I just love it.
$2.00 wreath from AC Moore. I had already started stringing the lights when I took the pic.
Final product. I decided against the berry clusters.
Isn't it great?

Normally, I wait to upgrade over the weekend, but I was home sick last Thursday, so I did it then. But I finished downloading the official final torrent for the ISO a few minutes ago (still seeding, however) and installed it to a USB key for use on other computers. It comes in handy now and then. Later, I will burn a CD or two, but I don't want to do that while it is seeding.

Ingerman offers the shamanic perspective on illness, explaining how parts of the soul can be lost through personal tragedy, physical PDF injury, or the negative emotions of others. Through the ages, she teaches, shamans have used a simple, powerful process for returning people to their original wholeness and health.

ST. CHARLES – The Poblano Pepper Grill restaurant will remain closed during ongoing negotiations to reassign the lease, a leasing representative for the property said Wednesday.
Angela Gasbarro of Mid-America Asset Management, Inc., said she is working with a nephew of current owner Ruben Alonso to see if he will take over the lease. She said the nephew already owns a Mexican restaurant outside of St. Charles.
"If we can't agree to a deal, it will remain closed," Gasbarro said of the restaurant at 3677 E. Main St.
Gasbarro did not know when exactly the restaurant closed.
The Kane County Health Department placed a notice sticker on Poblano's front door in March after several attempts to reach its food service permit holder, said Tom Schlueter, the department's health communications coordinator.
The notice is routine for any restaurant that closes, Schlueter said. The notice informs the next tenant of the space that a permit is required if the business will involve handling food.
"We had nothing to do with them closing whatsoever," Schlueter said of Poblano. "Whatever reason that they closed, it's their business decision,"
Alonso on Wednesday did not respond to an email seeking comment.
The restaurant's phone number is picked up by an automated message that says the number has been temporarily disconnected.
Neither the restaurant's website, www.poblanopeppergrill.com, nor its Facebook page make any reference to the restaurant's closure. The restaurant's tables and chairs on Wednesday were unstacked and appeared from the outside of the business to be in their regular floor plan arrangement.
Poblano Pepper Grill opened in February 2012 in the Main Street Commons shopping center on the city's east side. The restaurant's menu included authentic Mexican food, and Alonso's family helped operate the business, according to its website.

Katherine and I became very good friends one Super Bowl Sunday when we were at the same party. We discovered we were both in the early stages of pregnancy and that we were due around the same time. From that moment on, we became great friends.
Through laughter and through tears and throughout many years, we shared secrets, we laughed, and we comforted each other through our divorces. We got together about three or four times a year, and I always called her or she called me several times throughout the year – especially at Christmas.
I know I started calling her about this time in 2006 to wish her a Merry Christmas and to see how she and her kids (now grown) were doing. For two months I kept getting messages that her voicemail was full.
Not until I found her son online the following February did I discover how ill she was and that she had died that following January.
Yesterday I saw a woman who reminded me of Katherine, the friend I have been missing for nearly four years. Last night I dreamed we were together again, and when it came time to say goodbye, I wrapped my arms around her in a tight hug, wiping tears that streamed down my face, telling her through sobs how much I missed her.
I'd like to think that on some level, our spirits connected last night in a dream.

IntroductionNew book explores contemporary understandings of nature.
A new volume exploring contemporary understandings of nature has been co-edited by Sarah Parry of Innogen and Egenis director John Dupré.
Nature After the Genome is a collection of essays on issues such as synthetic biology, agricultural biotechnology, stem cell research and biodiversity by academics including Gail Davies (University College London), Richard Milne (University of Sheffield) and Karen Throsby (University of Warwick).
Divided into six parts, the book explores themes such as 'Classifying biological entities', 'Remodelling nature' and 'Theorizing nature through genomics' to investigate what 'nature' is being constituted or transformed by genomics-related knowledge, how it is being transformed and by whom.
'We hope that the book will show just how far-reaching and radical the implications of (genomic) science are,' write the authors. 'The ways that we think about life, and the capacities we have for intervening in life processes, are being transformed. Neither our knowledge of life nor our capacities for affecting it may be quite what the scientists tell us they are.'
Nature After the Genome is published by Wiley-Blackwell and costs £17.99.
