CELEBRATING 15 – The Barnstable High School girls varsity volleyball team – Head Coach Tom Turco, Stephanie Martin, Holly Wilson, Olivia Brodt, Hannah Andres, Colleen Kenney, Ciara Bruning, Emma Glover, Nicole Derosier, Liz Gorrill, assistant coaches Marylou Martin and Jessi Goode and captains Anna Strock, Meghan Mamlock, Regan Bristol, Kayla Crook and Colleen Koen – celebrates winning its 15th State Championship title after defeating Newton North 3-1 Nov. 17.Raiders claim 15th state volleyball title
The noise in the gym at Algonquin Regional High School in Northborough was already at the upper decibels at the start of the MIAA Div. 1 South State Championships Nov. 17, but when the Barnstable Red Raiders recorded the winning point the roar was simply deafening.
Moments later the girls volleyball team hoisted aloft its 15th State Championship Trophy, capping off head coach Tom Turco's 25th year at the helm in true Red Raider style.
"It feels good," Turco said. "It feels great. I'm happy for the kids."
It wasn't an easy victory for Turco's team, which fell dramatically in the opening game of the state finals 13-25 to Newton North, the only team that served Barnstable a loss in regular season play.
Rather than give in and go home, though, the Raiders regrouped and battled to a 25-16 Game 2 before fighting to a 25-23 Game 3 and a 25-17 final game.
It was an evening of top-notch performances for the Barnstable girls, who determinedly fought to carry on the program's winning tradition.
There was one play that Turco felt was the true game-changer.
"We were down 13-18 and Regan made two incredible digs in the back row and we eventually won that point on a Hannah Andres kill," Turco said. "The energy shifted and the momentum was with us."
Senior captain Regan Bristol shined across the court, netting 14 kills, five digs, a block and a service ace. Teammate and fellow senior captain Colleen Koen was also stellar with 11 kills, five blocks and a dig, while junior Hannah Andres added nine kills, five blocks and a stellar 16 digs overall. Senior captain Kayla Crook recorded 14 digs and a whopping 34 assists, and junior Colleen Kenney added six kills, while junior Stephanie Martin added nine digs.
Crook also soared past the 2000 career assists mark this year, and became the first setter to set three State Championships since Carrie Bosworth in 1995-97.
Martin came through in a big way for the Raiders in Game 4, peeling off four straight service points (two aces) to help dig Barnstable out of a 16-9 deficit and put them on the path to glory.
There was one play that Turco felt was the true game-changer.
"We were down 13-18 and Regan made two incredible digs in the back row and we eventually won that point on a Hannah Andres kill," Turco said. "The energy shifted and the momentum was with us."
The victory was a fine feather in the quarter-century cap for Turco, who said that winning is a terrific product of his dedicated teams.
"I enjoy coaching and seeing a group of individuals mold into a core group working towards a single purpose," Turco said. "They take the risk of setting their team goals very high and that is what drives them during the season. Winning is just a byproduct of that."
In his 25 years coaching, Turco has seen many changes in the world of high school volleyball, including its level of competition, as evidenced by Barnstable's two matches against Newton North this season.
"Volleyball in Massachusetts has gotten progressively better over the years," he said. "We certainly knew that Newton North was a very good team and the only team to beat us this year."
Turco said a look at the numbers boosted his team's confidence prior to the championship match.
"Although they won the match back in October we had more cumulative points, which only means that we knew we could score on them," Turco said. "We just had to do it when it really mattered."
Although his team struggled in that ominous Game 1, once they regrouped they proved a powerful force.
"What turned it around in Game 2 was the realization that we could not make unforced errors and score points for them," Turco said. "That message was conveyed by the seniors prior to taking the floor for the second set."
Turco's seniors definitely hold a special place in his heart each year, and 2012 is no different.
"I am very proud of my seniors. They provided tremendous leadership in a variety of ways," Turco said. "I thought Kayla and Regan took their years of experience, coupled with their work ethic and drive, and showed the younger players what it takes to achieve at the championship level. Colleen was both a positive and productive force on the team. She handled the big pressure moment. Meghan did a great job for us on the right side blocking and Anna played great defense all year. They impacted the team in a positive way. I will miss them but I know they will be successful in the path that they choose."
Even with the seniors leading the way, however, Turco stressed that the team's 15th championship was a team effort.
"This indeed was a total team accomplishment," Turco said. "They pride themselves in being '16 players deep,' meaning any one on the roster can and does contribute to the success of the team whether in practice or during a match."Experience, Turco said, paid off in the end.
"There is no teacher like experience and it seems year after year we return players who have tournament experience and know what it takes to achieve success," he said. "That is the one value passed on every year. The leaders, seniors, reinforce to the younger players that hard work, sacrifice and teamwork will pay off."

I have used LDN and Topiramate for a couple of years after being told (wrongly) I have CFS. LDN is an Immune Modulator and Topiramate is for Migraines. I have just started taking Thyroxine 25mg, and don't good at all! I am not sure if this is because I have started taking Thyroxine or because I am taking the other medication. I missed my morning dose of Topiramate yesterday and felt a bit brighter for a while, and when I took it again this morning I felt horrible again...... shaky, feeling faint, fuzzy headed, racing heart, just not good.
Oh, and the chest pain. I have had this for a while, but it has got worse over the last few days. I suspect my low Iron level might be playing a part here.
Does anyone have similar experience of this medication combo please? Many thanks.

The Fifth Estate
View all events in this series
We're supposed to live in a country of equal opportunity for women and men.
Australian women have contributed to every area of our national life and beyond – including science, medicine, the judiciary, the armed forces and, just once, the highest office in the land. Every day millions of Australian women go to work in every imaginable type of employment.
Yet, from the moment they enter the workforce, women are disadvantaged. Their workforce participation and economic security remains starkly out of sync with men's. Women earn less, they receive nearly half of superannuation payments, and they remain hugely underrepresented in management and leadership. In 2014 there is just a single female in the federal government cabinet. When Foreign Minister Julie Bishop is away, there are none.
How can this be so in a modern, democratic nation of equal opportunity? And what can be done about it?
Join Fifth Estate host Sally Warhaft and guests Judith Troeth (former Liberal senator), Paula Matthewson (political blogger) and Danielle Green (Victorian Labor MP) to take a long hard look at women in the workforce – and in government – in Australia today.
Paula Matthewson
Paula Matthewson (aka Drag0nista) is a corporate communications specialist who moonlights as a blogger and writer on federal politics.
Judith Troeth
Judith Troeth AM, was Liberal Senator for Victoria in the Federal Government for 18 years. She was the first female Member of Parliament in the Agricultural portfolio, as Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry from 1997 to 2004.
Danielle Green
Danielle Green is a Victorian Labor politician. She has been the member for Yan Yean for 11 and a half years, and is the Shadow Minister for the Prevention of Family Violence, Shadow Minister for Women and Shadow Minister for Health Promotion. She also sits on the Board of VicHealth.
Sally Warhaft
Sally Warhaft is a Melbourne broadcaster, anthropologist and writer and the host of the Wheeler Centre's live journalism series, the Fifth Estate, now in its sixth year. She is a former editor of the Monthly magazine and the author of the bestselling book Well May We Say: The Speeches that Made Australia.
The Fifth Estate
Sally Warhaft has been the Wheeler Centre's in-house news anchor since 2012. In 2018 – over 100 episodes in – the anthropologist, broadcaster and intrepid interviewer's fortnightly live series continues, as she responds to the most important debates of the day and reignites stories that have fallen off the front pages.
Every second Tuesday, Sally hosts a dizzying array of guests from the worlds of politics, culture, international relations and beyond, in a witty and revealing analysis of current affairs.

These 5 Boston Shops Are a Must for Food-Lovers
One of the best parts about travel is coming back home with treats in tow. As you carefully unpack your various finds, you can remember your journey and savor it in the comfort of your own kitchen. That bottle of Chianti from Italy, wrapped a few times over in a sweater or tucked inside a shoe for safe travels, is possibly more delicious when enjoyed with your favorite pizza takeout.
That's why we're asking locals to share the best shops for food-lovers in their home towns. We're kicking things off in Boston with the talented food photographer and blogger Betty Liu. Here, she shares five must-visit stops, including a stylish general store, cheese shop, and bakery with gorgeous provisions like spice blends and house-made preserves.
1. Boston General Store
Whenever anyone, foodie or not, comes to visit, I take them here. This charming shop, which is exactly what the name says — a general store — has something for everyone: staplers and leather notebooks, artisan honey and gorgeous local ceramics.
Every item is displayed with a skilled eye (April, the owner, is an architect, so there you go) and, when you step into the store, you're greeted with subtle scents of their signature candle. Even if you don't buy anything (although I highly recommend you do), the atmosphere is cozy, comfortable, and inviting.
2. Shop Pod
I could live in this treasure of a shop in Cambridge, which stocks a curated selection of Japanese home goods, including Shop Fog Linen napkins, tea cozies, and beautiful brass spoons. As a food photographer, I'm always on the lookout for props and pieces for food styling, and I have yet to leave this store without a purchase.
3. Curio Spice Co.
I've been a fan of Claire Cheney's signature spice blends since she founded Curio Spice Co. in 2015. So I'm thrilled that she's opened a brick-and-mortar store with a whole wall of intriguing selections, including sweet paprika farmed in Massachusetts, thyme from Vermont, and sea salt from Maine.
4. Formaggio Kitchen
Do you like cheese? If so, immediately make your way to Formaggio Kitchen (there are two locations — one in the South End and one in Cambridge). In addition to an amazing selection of cheeses, they also stock artisan spices, salts, oils, vinegars, dried pastas, and other incredible edible treats. I buy whole green cardamom pods, Hungarian paprika, and fragrant Sichuan peppercorns there, as well as edible gifts!
5. Sofra Bakery & Café
This bakery and café also has a truly wonderful selection of provisions, including oils, vinegars, spice blends, and preserves made in house. Sofra is also a wonderful place to while away time in. I could stay there for hours and it seems others could, too, so make sure to get there early to grab a spot!
What's your favorite shop for food-lovers in Boston? Share with us in the comments.

These wedding photos of an African man marrying an elderly foreign woman is currently trending online.
The young man has been labelled 'a real hustler' by online users who questioned his love for the aged woman.
Many believe he is just going to use and then dump the woman after the marriage.
Many social media users are making this insinuation because of the obviously gloomy look on the man's face on what should be one of the happiest days of his life.
The location and nationalities of the couple were not revealed but sketchy reports have it that the woman is over 60 years already while the man is still in his early 30s.

Because I had started the year answering direct questions, that left me only six months to choose from and still it was difficult picking just three favourites. I had to leave out The Master and the Priest, Directing Your Life and Because We Love The Children. But that also means I really love the three I do get to bring you. And we'll start off with this little piece of practicality: How about if we all just gave each other a little more room to be human? Enjoy.

(This article was first published on Brokering Closure » R, and kindly contributed to R-bloggers)
It turned out that I wrote the last post on "intergraph" package too hastily. After some feedback from CRAN maintainers and deliberation I decided to release the updated version of the "intergraph" package under the original name (so no new package "intergraph0″) with version number 1.2. This version relies on legacy "igraph" version 0.5, which is now called "igraph0″. Package "intergraph" 1.2 is now available on CRAN.
Meanwhile, I'm working on new version of "intergraph", scheduled to be ver. 1.3, which will rely on new version 0.6 of "igraph".
I am sorry for the mess.

Stop, Thief! Strategies for Deterring Office Lunch Thieves
How many lunches have been ruined the minute you open the office fridge and see that your lunch has disappeared? It's annoying, frustrating, and baffling. While we'll never understand how grown adults can steal each others lunches, here are a few strategies to hopefully keep it from happening to you.
• Use a Lunch Bag - Whether you buy a re-usable bag or use a paper one, make sure it's opaque and seal it closed. It's not fail-safe, but people are far less likely to go rummaging through a closed bag for food than when the same food is in plain sight.
• Require Some Assembly - Swiping an already-made sandwich is one thing, but stealing all the fixings is another. Try keeping the components and ingredients for your lunch separate and then assembling on the spot.
• Buy in Bulk (or Hide It Well) - This is good advice in general, but anything that comes individually pre-packaged from the store is also just begging to be stolen: individual containers of yogurt, those small packages of baby carrots, cans of soda, and so on. If it's something like yogurt or carrots, keep a larger container at home and use a small reusable container to bring portions to work. If it's something like soda, bring one can every day instead of storing several in the fridge at once and keep it out of sight in your lunch bag.
What doesn't seem to work? Writing your name on your food or its container. We'd like to think that the co-worker we say hello to every day in the halls might not steal our food if they know it's ours, but unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be the case.
Alas, no method is truly guaranteed. What thief-deterring tips do you have?

The discussion of socialist and Marxist attitudes to antisemitism . . . has often been confused by the erroneous and illogical assumption that left-wing parties are immunized against racial, religious, or ethnic prejudice. So says Robert Wistrich in his latest book, From Ambivalence to Betrayal: the Left, the Jews, and Israel , another of his invaluable contributions to the scholarship on anti-semitism.
Dr. Wistrich, a professor at Hebrew University and head of its Vidal Sassoon Center for the Study of Antisemitism, is a leading scholar on anti-semitism whose immediately preceding book, A Lethal Obsession: Antisemitism from Antiquity to the Global Jihad is perhaps the best history of the subject. He has long had an interest in the relationship of the left and Jews, back at least as far as his doctoral dissertation at the University of London in 1974.
Dr. Wistrichs range in this study is most impressive, going back to Marx before he developed his ideology of dialectical materialism. He deals with important personalities as well as movements. All the while, he takes differences and even nuances into account. He also does not ignore the pro-Zionism of some socialists. The carefulness of the analysis matches the extensiveness of the history. The author recognizes the prominent Jewish presence on the left and, notably, does not try to shy away from considering the strange and ugly phenomenon of Jewish anti-semitism.
For many preoccupied with current events, the final section of the book, Anti-Zionist Mythologiesespecially the last chapter The Marxist-Islamist Alliancewill be the payoff, but it is a payoff precisely because Dr. Wistrichs conclusions are not impressionistic nor based upon sloppy generalizations but arise from an insightful examination of the historical record.
Thus, on the fraught issue of the relationship between anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism, he writes:
Anti-Zionism, like antisemitism, has developed its own version of occult, sinister Jewish influences, working to undermine the international political order. Thus, among Islamists as well as on the far left, it has increasingly become an ideology imbued with irrational conspiracy theories, mythical symbols, and a culture of hatred. Whether the rhetoric of anti-Zionism happens to be Marxist, Muslim, Christian, Third Worldist, fascist, or openly neo-Nazi, it is replete with stereotypical notions of the perfidy and diabolical cunning of the Jews . . . The more radical anti-Zionists no less than the classical anti-Semites are obsessed with the ubiquity and malignant impact of the Jews on the modern world.
And further on: Anticapitalist antisemitism underpinning radical anti-Zionism is an integral part of the Marxist-Islamist ideological axis which seeks to redeem the contemporary world from the sinister plots of American imperialism and the yoke of Zionist oppression.
Still, this is not, I think, an anti-leftist book. At its best, the left seeks to relieve the sufferings of the poor and the yoke of the oppressed, but no human being or human movement is always at its best.

Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays - OOP Collection -
I'll be posting things from my collection with high-quality (300dpi) scans of all the artwork. I won't be posting things that are still available (except for my own releases). I did some math on my stuff, and I can last almost two years at this rate, and by that time I'll be able to post more stuff.
Tuesdays & Thursdays - Current stuff, Flyers, Pictures, Interviews, Internet Goodies
The other two weekdays will kind of be a grab bag. There are some cool things I'm finding that are free on the internet that I want to share, as well as flyers and pictures that I have. Also, I will be translating and possibly conducting some interviews with current and past bands. One thing that I think there is waaaaaaay to little of is Japanese bands speaking in their own voice (in English), so hopefully I can help change this a bit. And finally, there are so many weird internet goodies floating around. The wayback machine is one of the best inventions ever, and I've found some things lying around in those databases that are fun to look at.
Saturdays & Sundays - Rest
I play video games and do homework. You do something other than expect me to post on here.
And that is the format I'm going to try to keep up with. The Band & Label links are constantly being updated as I find new bands. I really appreciate your comments, so if you got something to say or like what I'm doing, let me know!

GAL Gadot admits she is still overwhelmed by the impact of her Wonder Woman.
The Israeli model-turned-actor made her debut as the beloved Amazonian demigoddess in last year's Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice, injecting some much-needed brightness into what was otherwise a rather dour affair.
Despite the general consensus that she stole the show from her better known co-stars — Henry Cavill's Man Of Steel and Ben Affleck's Caped Crusader — the jury was out as to whether audiences would embrace her first solo Wonder Woman outing when it was released in June.
The answer was an emphatic and ecstatic yes. Not only did it earn more than $1 billion at the box office, but at this year's Comic Con in San Diego — ground zero for global nerd and pop culture — the streets were dotted with fans of all ages, sizes and even genders sporting the famous red and blue costume with the crown and lasso.
"It feels so great and what gets me even more excited is to see boys and men dress like Wonder Woman because it feels like she broke all gender barriers," Gadot says, seated alongside her Justice League co-stars as the Comic Con chaos unfolds just metres away.
"Ever since the movie was released, I'm kind of still overwhelmed with the way that it was received."
DC Entertainment, the studio and comic book company behind the much anticipated Justice League, couldn't have hoped for a better lead-in to the all-star superhero team-up, which opens tomorrow. Despite boasting arguably the most famous superheroes in the world — Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman are collectively known as the Big Three — DC has struggled to carve out a coherent cinema world in the same way rivals Marvel have with their hugely successful solo movies dovetailing into the even bigger Avengers movies.
Smartly, Gadot and Affleck are front and centre in Justice League (Cavill's Superman was presumed dead at the end of Batman v Superman), assembling a super-team of lesser known heroes — Ezra Miller's wisecracking The Flash, Jason Momoa's rock 'n' roll Aquaman and Ray Fisher's mysterious Cyborg — to battle an army of alien invaders.
Affleck, who says it was much easier playing the iconic superhero this time without the "rage and resentment" of the previous film, describes Bruce Wayne's role in Justice League as "herding the superpower kittens".
"I do think it will be comfortable to see the character in the form that we are most used to seeing him and it certainly gives me a lot of room to play," he says. "It's such a great character and it's the reason it's been around for so long and is so iconic because the character works so well. So staying close to this genesis of who Batman is has been fun and rewarding.
"The irony is that he's not a particularly collaborative guy and yet here he's thrust into the position of not only having to work with a team, but having to actually put the team together."
Newcomer Fisher, making his feature film debut as Victor Stone, who is transformed into the hugely powerful half-man, half-robot Cyborg after an accident, describes Wonder Woman and Batman as the parents of the group.
Miller, as whip-smart and wisecracking in person as his on screen Flash persona, agrees.
"Ben's my dad and Gal's my mum," he says. "They're really nice to me until I do something wrong."
But does that mean super-sparks fly between Wonder Woman and Batman, with some kind of heroic hook-up on the cards?
"I think he's fixated on Diana in some ways," Affleck says, admitting to playing up the sexual tension. "There's a nice, warm, tension with Wonder Woman. It's not like she's some floozy — she's this very substantial, powerful female character in his life. I don't think he's used to that."
As if expectations weren't high enough in creating a linchpin for the DC Extended Universe that will springboard its characters into future solo movies — Aquaman has just wrapped on the Gold Coast and a Flash movie is also in the works — Justice League had something of a troubled production.
Most of the $US300 million movie was directed by Zack Snyder before he had to step back after the tragic death of his daughter. The task of overseeing post-production, reshoots and reportedly injecting a lighter tone into proceedings went to Avengers main man, Joss Whedon. Whedon had already jumped ship from Marvel to DC to write and direct a future Batgirl film.
Fisher says the two directors had very different styles, "but at the end of the day, we all want the same thing, which is just to tell the best story we possibly can".
Miller describes the transition between the two different but complementary directors, made under the most difficult of circumstances, as "a beautiful thing to watch" and a perfect metaphor for Justice League.
"One of the most beautiful things you can do is help to bring another artist's work to fruition at a time when, for one reason or another, they cannot," he says. "And that's kind of the plot of our film — in times that are dire, uniting, finding each other and goodness in each other and trusting each other and each other's talents and abilities."
Affleck says Justice League also reflects modern times and real-life global threats. Filming was done at the height of terrorism threat from Islamic State and other militant jihadists around the world and perceived East-West return to Cold War hostilities, with Russia and Vladimir Putin pitched as global villain.
"Batman is emblematic of this whole idea of multilateralism and organising people to protect the common good," he says. "So we draw from different backgrounds, different ages and obviously a woman. I think that's one of the things that makes this genre and group hero movies appealing is that the more threatening the times are, the more uncertain they seem, the stronger the desire there is to see and have heroes, to have saviours, to have these larger-than-life characters play out dramas and save the day in ways that things don't necessarily get saved in our real lives."
Justice League opens on November 16.

For many people opening the first door of an advent calendar marks the beginning of the pre-Christmas buzz.
Not for me however! My Christmassy feelings begin with the annual return of It's A Wonderful Life to the Showroom's screens. Every year, people revisit this classic with family and friends, sharing it with newcomers and revelling in the nostalgic and heart-warming Christmas tale.
Sheffield's classic Christmas-film fans will not be disappointed this year, there is plenty on offer across the city to get people in a festive mood. Along with It's a Wonderful Life, the Showroom will also be screening Elf, Home Alone and The Muppet Christmas Carol, Sharrow Reels are screening Die Hard and Village Green screenings at 94 Burton Road include Edward Scissorhands and Miracle on 34th Street. Definitely something for everyone under the cinema Christmas tree this year.
Last week the independent cinema sector congregated in Glasgow at This Way Up, a conference dedicated to exploring successes, innovations, adaptations and areas of focus for our industry in the future as well as the opportunity to share case studies, take notes and catch up with colleagues from across the country.
Also launching alongside this conference was the BFI 2022 strategy. As lead body for film in the UK, the British Film Institute has shown in its plans from 2017-22 a major commitment to young audiences, diversity across the industry and a greater devolution of development and support to the regions. It will be an exciting five years if this plan is anything to go by and the Showroom will be working hard to bring great film to more people across the region.
On the subject of the British film industry, independent British films are often hard to see and with limited marketing budgets can struggle to find space in the noisy world of film promotion. However, this week there are two such films at the Showroom for you to discover. The Incident, the debut feature film from BAFTA nominated Jane Linfoot was filmed in Yorkshire and we are delighted to be able to welcome members of the cast and crew for a Q&A after the screening on Friday December 9, 6pm. Norfolk – a story about PTSD and its ability to warp the world view of a man and his son who are cut off from the real world – is on at the Showroom on Wednesday, December 14, 6.30pm.

I'd like to pick up the thread again of discussing at a conceptual level creating Nova Earth. As I said earlier, I can only pursue this as a blue-sky, conceptual discussion. There isn't enough of me to go around to pursue it at a more detailed level.
What's becoming apparent to me, as awareness dawns and the insights arise one by one in consciousness, is that building Nova Earth is an activity that proceeds entirely newly, entirely from scratch, as the saying goes.
I don't know anyone incarnate who knows the whole of the Divine Plan as it relates to building Nova Earth. I don't think we're supposed to.
I think this is an opportunity for us to learn to fly, so to speak, by repaying the kindness of our Mother Gaia, who's suffered from the way we've treated her for eons. (1)
We learn to fly by seeing to her needs and those of the communities that live upon her, learning from each success and failure.
We learn to fly by doing unto others as we'd have others do unto us, rather than doing others in, as we did all too often in the Third. We learn by building an harmonious round of life on Mother Earth.
Now that we see that Nova Earth will be created newly – by us – where do we go from here?
Several teachings arise in my mind that illustrate possible ways to proceed, hints at what to do next. Of course all of this is at the highest levels of abstraction. You'll need to apply them to the situation of unworkability you agree to address.
Est trainer Dennis Percy used to say that the path starts at the trailing edge of our leading foot.
Think of that. Take a step or two and see that the next step you take begins at the trailing edge of your leading foot. Each step begins at the same place. That's how we walk.
What Dennis is really saying is that we create "the path" with each step we take. There is no path outside our own creation.
So, here, with building Nova Earth, it may simply turn out to be a question of "What's next?" "What's next?" "What's next?"
No one will know beforehand what lies very far down the road. All of us will be making our best possible guesses, and, as long as we acknowledge that they're guesses, they may prove beneficial.
Moreover, in my view, we're always creating the path. We're never following one, though we may think we are. Nothing could stop us creating, in this life or the next.
So Dennis advises us just to begin and stop looking for a template or another person's vision of "the path." The path will be created by the steps we take.
Besides Dennis' teaching, there's another that's germane here, from his boss, Werner Erhard, which I've cited many times before. If a train is headed for disaster, (2) it won't make a difference to matters if the passengers all go to the right side of the train or to the left side. Taking sides will not stop a train headed for disaster from continuing on to where it's going.
What the passengers need to do if they don't want to end up in disaster is to stop the train, get off, and lay new track.
And that's what we need to do here too: lay new track.
At this moment these are the only two clues I have about what to do next in building Nova Earth.
(1) We create the path with each step we take.
(2) If we want to avoid ending up in disaster in a train that's headed for it, we must stop the train, get out in front and lay new track.
The next question is: Where shall we go next?
Where do we want to go?
How do we even think about these subjects? No one has gone here before.
It's at this point that a circular argument develops, beyond which few ideas survive. This is the point at which resolve dies away; flash-in-the-pan interest subsides and the real work begins – or not.
It's at this point that we hear a second voice from inside saying that we have to be careful; we have to proceed cautiously because no one has ever been here before. This is new territory and we'd better watch ourselves. Caution sets in and with it fear.
Meanwhile the first voice repeats that the path we need to create will be created with each new step we take. We may want it to be the best step, time after time. And it'll have to be a different path than the one we've been taking because that one was headed for disaster.
This first voice of resolve confronts the voice of fear and a tug of war ensues. Back and forth the argument goes between fear and resolve, fear and resolve, until, in the worst case, we drop our forward motion.
Our job in all of this is simply to see, acknowledge and let go of the core issues that arise. We'll need to do this constantly in the weeks ahead as change gradually or swiftly ramps up in intensity.
All of this knowledge is impressing itself upon me. Just as the path starts from the trailing edge of the leading foot, so also I know what I'm about to say only as the very next thought comes hot off the press – no other thought or step in the process is obvious before the fact.
(1) What Jesus says here is fairly representative of the view that rebuilding (in this case, cleaning up) Gaia is our responsibility:
"As you awaken you will find yourselves offered boundless assistance in the task of cleansing and renewing the planet by those who have watched over you for eons, and who will provide you with fantastic technologies, way beyond anything you have ever imagined, which will make the task of planetary repair and renewal swift, effective, and easy. And of course they will provide or demonstrate to you new ways to access the energy you need to run all your essential services without the collateral damage and pollution that has always seemed to be unavoidable with your present vast complex of industrial systems. …
"What has been occurring on Earth under your stewardship has been a complete disregard for the responsibilities that living on Earth involved. You have been operating a system of rape, pillage, and destruction, and when all of value had been extracted from a site you just moved on. No wonder the Earth is in such a parlous state.
"This will all change. You are finally becoming ready to take on the responsibilities that living peacefully, abundantly, and joyfully on Earth rightfully demand of you. And when, ably assisted by those who have come to help you, you do so, you will find that it is not a task of time-consuming drudgery but a most creative and inspiring experience that will bring you inordinate satisfaction." (Jesus through John Smallman, May 13, 2012, at http://wp.me/p1B8dY-42.)

Roy J. Plunkett
Polytetrafluoroethylene Molecule (PTFE)
Roy J. Plunkett was born on June 26, 1910, in New Carlisle, Ohio. Plunkett received his bachelor's degree in chemistry from Manchester College in 1932 and his doctoral degree in chemistry from The Ohio State University in 1936.
Upon graduation, Plunkett accepted a position with DuPont in Deepwater, New Jersey. One of his first assignments was to find a non-toxic, non-flammable coolant to be used in refrigerators. One of his attempts led to the creation of a slippery powder now called Teflon. Teflon's scientific name is Polytetrafluoroethylene. The powder proved capable of withstanding temperatures as cold as minus four hundred degrees Fahrenheit and as warm as five hundred degrees Fahrenheit.
It took several years for scientists to discover ways to use Teflon. During World War II, designers of the atomic bomb utilized Teflon to manufacture gaskets and linings that could resist the bomb's corrosive components. In 1954, two French engineers discovered that cookware coated in Teflon prevented food from sticking to the pots and pans. This discovery led to the first widespread commercial use of Teflon. Later in the twentieth century, scientists began to develop ways to utilize Teflon in the practice of medicine, as well as in numerous other industries.
Plunkett remained at DuPont until his retirement in 1975. He participated in the development and improvement of numerous products, including tetra-ethyl lead gasoline and freon. Because of Plunkett's discovery of Teflon, the Plastics Hall of Fame and the Inventors Hall of Fame honored the scientist in 1973 and 1985 respectively. Plunkett died on May 12, 1994.

Forgive me father, for I have sinned,
For a second or two, I went with the wind.
Thinking that you were proud of me.
But now there's an otherwise, now I want to flee.
Free from the shame, away from the guilt,
Of discontinuing to be the 'perfect child' you built.
With bricks of love, support and care.
I'm sorry for filling you with despair.
However, my apologies are in vain.
Because you compare, time and again.
You look away, you fail to see.
You shut your ears to my plea.
You do not wish to hear,
The problems I face, the pain I bear.
When despite my hard work, I always fall.
When life stops taking my side at all.
Now here I am, amidst this storm,
of expectations to follow the 'scholar' norm.
Tell me, can your 'scholars' do this,
Use words as bullets and never miss?

Police Appeal For More Central Station Shooting Witnesses
Detectives call for more witnesses
Image: Andreas Booth/Twitter
Detectives investigating the shooting death of a man during a police confrontation in Sydney CBD last week are seeking to identify further witnesses.
Police were called to Eddy Avenue, Haymarket, just before 6.45pm last Wednesday following reports of an armed robbery at a business near the entrance to Central Railway Station.
Officers arrived soon after, where a 30-year-old man was shot and later died at the scene.
A critical incident team from the State Crime Command's Homicide Squad is investigating all circumstances surrounding the incident.
As part of their on-going investigation, detectives are appealing for any witnesses or anyone with relevant information, and who have not yet spoken to police to make contact as soon as possible.
In addition, they are urging anyone who may have filmed the incident to provide a copy of the video to investigators.
The investigation will be subject to independent review and all information will be provided to the Coroner.
Anyone with information can contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or provide their contact details to their local police to have a member of the critical incident team to make contact.
Videos and photos can be uploaded onto the Crime Stoppers online reporting page: https://nsw.crimestoppers.com.au/

I've blissfully spent the morning in Istanbul with Greer, Adelaide and the other characters of my latest WIP. Now it's time to attend to the day's other responsibilities.
The valiant Barb S. sent through the cover art for two of the novels in the Liberty series. Here's the first book that will appear on Amazon for the Kindle:
I'm not sure yet about the sidebar copy, although "Liberty safeguards the cherished heart" is an important clue during Birdie's search for hidden treasure.
The second novel, which should be up on Amazon by late May, takes the reader back in time before Birdie's appearance in the town of Liberty:
Of course, the sidebar copy isn't correct. Another item for the old "to do" list!

Posted at Jul 25, 2014 6:30 pm in Activate, Claire Cavanaugh, Craft, Revision, Robin Perini, Showing, Workshops, Writing
What an amazing time at the Romance Writers of America® National Conference this year. I was so honored that I was asked to do a workshop with my dear friend and supremely talented writer, Claire Cavanaugh. Our topic was The Secret to Powerful Writing – Activate, Activate, Activate. The workshop was scheduled from 4:30-5:30 and I didn't really expect that many people to attend – so many events on Thursday night – but we had a full house. Actually beyond full. Not only were all the chairs taken, but some true stalwart writers sat in the floor at the front, at the back, in the aisle, and even outside the door. I was blown away by all the fantastic questions, eagerness and talent. Several writers read passages they wrote on the fly that were absolutely fabulous. So much talent!!! Awesome!!!
I *promised* the attendees that I would provide them the handout and presentation, so here it is, guys! (a bit late…sorry about that). Thanks for being there (or for asking about the handouts)
Oh, if you want to join my mailing list – which is getting revamping based on all the amazing information I learned at this year's RT, just go to the home page at http://www.robinperini.com. I'd love to have you. I'm also working on supercharging my Rockin' Robins Street Team which should be a blast. We'd love to have you. Click here to join!
The Secret to Powerful Writing: Activate, Activate, Activate (CRAFT)
Speakers: Claire Cavanaugh and Robin Perini
Learn the techniques of active writing that will teach you how to "show" your story instead of simply "telling" it. Find out how in this practical, hands-on workshop. Learn the skills that turned Robin Perini's contest winners to RT Top Pick and Seal of Excellence nominated fiction that Publishers Weekly calls "refresh(ing) romantic suspense" and RT Book Reviews calls "riveting … and remarkable."

Your power point presentation was my most valuable take-away from the 2014 RWA Conference. Thanks so much for posting it on your site.
Thanks SO much!!! That means the world to me. I really appreciate it!
Thank you SO much! This made my day 🙂
Robin – so I wasn't lucky enough to go to RWA last year, but I bought the recording and listened to your class the other day. Can I just say wow!! I'm totally jazzed and love the idea of SPICED. I'm doing rough draft sprints right now where I have two 50k rough drafts done (in two months no less), and working on a third for a slightly longer book then I'm going to circle back and flesh them out and get them SPICED up. I can't tell you how much I love the idea, and I'm almost looking forward to editing.
Thank you for this class and the awesome PDF!
Hi Melisa! I'm SO gratified that you enjoyed the class. I hope your revisions go wonderfully! THANK YOU!!! Happy Writing!

text: Hi All, I'm starting to play with sous-vide and made a few batches of steaks. I do enjoy the fact that they are beautifully medium rare though out the thickness, but I can't figure out how to give them a nice crust. When I sear raw meat, after quite some practice, I manage to get that reddish/brown, which is neither grey nor burnt and tastes awesome. I tried searing sous-vided tenderloin on a skillet at roughly 500F (measured the surface of the skillet with an IR thermometer) and they are either grey (if I leave them for 30s or so) or burnt black (if I leave them for a minute or so). I tried with a blowtorch, same result, either grey or black. I tried dusting with powdered sugar, to help the Maillard reaction happen, but it did not help. I tried brushing with sugar syrup, but again, did not help a lot. Any advice on getting a good crust on sous vide? Is it even possible? An additional question: when do you season? Before or after sous-videing? Thanks in advance! Have a great evening!

Letters to the Editor
- April 29, 2011

Wind article was incomplete
To the Editor,
This article appropriately conveys that land-based commercial wind energy projects in Virginia confront "a lot of conflicting land uses" ["Harnessing the wind and sun," April issue].
However, it does its readers a disservice by showcasing Highland New Wind while ignoring the numerous problems faced by this proposed project, including a pending complaint under the Endangered Species Act, potential issues with the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, the proximity to a National Register Civil War battlefield/encampment and pollution problems associated with extensive earth disturbance in the headwaters of Laurel Fork, one of Virginia's highest quality and most-pristine native brook trout streams.
Rick Webb
Nuclear's real impediment is its huge cost
To the Editor,
All power sources have environmental impacts ["Quake doesn't shake nuclear support in Virginia," April issue]. Current information seems to indicate that the contamination released from the Japanese plants will cause significantly less human health impact than a similar sized coal- or oil-fired plant would have in normal operation. It is also straightforward to build new plants to be more resistant to this type of event.
Most people understand nuclear provides clean, safe and reliable energy. Those who live closest to them report the greatest support, because they know it from personal experience.
The only real impediment to new nuclear construction is the huge and unnecessary cost imposed by our outdated regulatory system. That is the main reason Asian countries can build them in half the time and at half the cost. They don't spend decades with very high-paid people doing make-work reviews that have no real effect on safety.
Why not just require every power plant of any kind to have insurance to compensate anyone whose property or health they harm? Insurance systems are much more efficient than our command and control bureaucrats, and many billions can be shaved off the federal deficit to boot.
Dwight E. Baker, PE

Do we own the things we buy, or do they own us?
Life is such a spending spree of stuff gathering. (Or as George Carlin says: "Mine is My Stuff, yours is Your Sh*t!"
Everything we own requires care. Cleaning, maintainance, a place to put it.
Own a farm? Ya gotta till it.
Own a dog? Ya gotta walk it, feed it, love it.
Own a collection? Ya gotta build shelves, pay rent or mortgage for the space, dust em, and whatever.
The things we own control what we do with our time, and thus dictate our very lives.
Own a computer?
Gotta Blog?
Some things enhance our lives, while others load us down. Like the Janis Joplin tune says: "Freedom's just another word for nothin left to lose."
What stuff do you have that enhances your life?

Scottish independent ice cream production
- Cate Devine
- 17 September 2010
Enterprising dairies keep the Scottish-Italian tradition alive
The availability of quality produce from diversifying dairy farms has fuelled a taste for ice-cream from our independent makers, writes Cate Devine.
The Scots-Italian culture may be alive and licking in Scotland but when it comes to making ice-cream it seems that tradition is dying out. Our taste for the old-fashioned milk-ice, brought to us by postwar Italian immigrants and made with milk, sugar and cornflour, is being overtaken by a preference for the creamy stuff – thanks to an unprecedented availability of top quality high-fat milk and double cream from Scottish farms. 'Even the Italians who come to visit us are amazed by the tremendous quality of our milk and cream,' says David Equi, whose fourth-generation ice-cream company, Equi of Hamilton, won top awards in six categories at this year's Royal Highland Show. 'Italian gelato is lighter because the quality of milk in Italy isn't that good. Their good milk all goes to making mozzarella.'
Equi produces some 300,000 litres of 14 per cent fat dairy ice-cream each year to a recipe adapted from his Italian great-grandfather's, and supplies bespoke flavours to the G1 Group and Rogano in Glasgow, as well as 12 Asda stores and 130 wholesalers. He also part-owns the famous Nardini's café in Largs, which makes its own luxury ice-cream using butter.
Ironically, the low prices that supermarkets pay for milk have helped to boost the independent ice-cream sector. Arran Dairies Ice Cream, for example, began in a desperate attempt to develop a market for the milk from the island's three remaining dairy farms (at one time there were 30). Sales have increased ten-fold in ten years to around 2400 litres a week. 'We doubled our market on the island in the first year alone, proving demand was certainly there,' says Alastair Dobson, managing director of Arran Dairies and the founder of Taste of Arran, a group of 11 food and drink producers on the island. Clients for his 14 per cent fat dairy ice-cream include the Macdonald hotel group throughout the UK, National Trust for Scotland properties and Dobbies garden centres. The supermarket trade is not an avenue Dobson chooses to go down.
Instead, a new business in bespoke ice-creams is developing. Dobson has so far created 70 flavours – including Scottish rhubarb ripple and Arran lemon verbena for the recent Open Golf at St Andrews. However, vanilla is the most popular: it's made up of three parts milk to one part cream. Arran milk has an unusually high fat content of up to 4.6 per cent; the cream 48 per cent, and the end product contains 12 per cent fat.
Bespoke ice-cream is popular with modern chefs who want to help to keep local, traditional skills alive and who get a kick out of being able to name-check not only their supplier but in some cases even the cows that provided the necessaries. Which makes smaller artisan producers increasingly sought-after.
Meanwhile, at Thorntonhall Farmhouse Ice Cream (based at the delightfully named Meikle Dripps Farm on the south side of Glasgow), Micki Henderson churns out some 270 litres of her bespoke handmade 8 per cent fat ice-cream each week to supply retail outlets and some of Glasgow's top restaurants including Crabshakk, Gamba, the Dining Room, Urban Brasserie and Red Onion. Flavours include black pepper, gingerbread, balsamic vinegar and liquorice. The business began four years ago as a way of supplementing income from Micki's husband John's dairy farm at a time when milk prices paid by supermarkets were plummeting. She now uses the farm's milk, cream and eggs. As a result, the company is unlikely to go down the supermarket route. 'We wouldn't want to grow too big because it would change our USP and we'd become just like everybody else,' says Micki.

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) — An American man sought in the U.S. on child sex allegations has been convicted in Cambodia on charges he sexually abused five boys at a Christian orphanage he ran.
The Phnom Penh Municipal court sentenced Daniel Johnson to one year in prison for abusing five boys, aged 11 to 15, at the Hope Transitions orphanage where he served as director, the child protection group Action Pour Les Enfants said.
Johnson, 35, was arrested in December on a request from the FBI, which had tracked him to Cambodia as part of a U.S. investigation into his alleged sexual assault of minors at home.
Cambodian authorities launched their own investigation and criminal case against Johnson.
He is expected to be extradited to the U.S. after serving his sentence.

This is an amazing tour! We will hit 8 of the Top 10 Birding Hotspots in the State of Washington (according to eBird "Explore a Region" – July 2015). We will start at the northerly tip of the Kitsap Peninsula in Puget Sound. This is the top birding hotspot in the State of Washington according to eBird's Explore a Region. Over 160 species have been recorded in the month of October. This includes more than 20 species of waterfowl, 4 species of loons, 6 species of grebes, 13 species of gulls, all 3 jaegers, and an amazing 6 species of alcids. One of the greatest allures here is the possibility of seeing alcids—birds usually only found at sea by boat—from dry land. We'll be looking for Common Murre, Pigeon Guillemot, Marbled Murrelet, and Rhinoceros Auklet. Ancient Murrelet winter here and we'll be on the cusp of their arrival here. Wow! What a start!
We will drive along the north edge of the Olympic Peninsula and bird at the northwest corner of the state at Neah Bay where we will look for more alcids, gulls, and waterfowl. We'll back through the Kitsap Peninsula and out to the Pacific Ocean at Grays Harbor. This place is not only terrific for waterfowl and gulls, but is a powerful magnet for shorebirds.
Finally we'll head back up to the southern end of Puget Sound and bird one of the best National Wildlife Refuges in the State—Nisqually. We'll finish up birding some of the very best local hotspots in the Seattle area.
Some of the birds we'll search for in addition to the birds listed above include Red-breasted Sapsucker, Chestnut-backed Chickadee, Pacific Wren, Hutton's Vireo, Varied Thrush, Northwestern Crow, Mew Gull, Glaucous-winged Gull, Heermann's Gull, Black-legged Kittiwake, Brandt's Cormorant, Pelagic Cormorant, Western Grebe, Parasitic Jaeger, Black Oystercatcher, Black Turnstone, Surfbird, Harlequin Duck, and Northern Shrike.
The scenery will be stunning! We will almost always have majestic mountains in view. And the fjords of the Puget Sound will make you feel like you are in a different land. And then there is the enchanting Pacific Coast along the Olympic Peninsula. The beauty is so rich and beautiful it just might make your eyes tear up. And I do hope you like eating good, fresh seafood!
