Cogins Pomeranians was established in 2003. We began our venture into raising dogs many years ago with Maltese and we still raise them today. However, growing up all my life with Pomeranians I just couldn't tear myself away from the idea of raising these little "lion Kings and Queens". So my journey to "Pomerania" had begun.
We were blessed that all our foundation Poms came from very well known and sound lines and that they all turned out to be such intelligent and beautiful dogs and that they all possessed that typical sweet, lovable, willing to please temperament the Pomeranian is known for. Since than we have been dedicated to preserving all of these same qualities in Cogins Pomeranians dogs and puppies.
The most important thing to us is that each of our dogs become part of a loving family, so the primary objective in our breeding program is to maintain that wonderful temperament that our dogs are known for. We also strive for supreme
intelligence, versatility, soundness of mind and body, and overall beauty. With thoughtful consideration to pedigrees, careful genetic screenings, and selective breeding practices, we are making every effort to insure these qualities in all our dogs.
We invite you to take a tour through our website and meet some of our dogs that we love so dearly and share with us some memories of some of the wonderful dogs of our past that have brought us to where we are in our journey.

Game in Hobbiton, or, Bilbo demonstrates the neg
January 29, 2014 § 101 Comments
Sometimes a brass tacks example can be helpful, especially for those who prefer the concrete over high-falutin abstractions.
Backhanded or ambiguous compliments are a "tool" of charmers and rhetoricians which have been around since Hobbits tilled the soil of the Shire. Variations on the theme are as multifarious as the variety of human conversation. By creating some ambiguity and personalizing the interaction, they engage the mind and emotions of the listener. Whatever you may think of Bilbo's speech, he clearly had the attention of his audience.
They are also as obvious as the nose on your face: one would have to live in an isolation chamber or a bomb shelter to fail to encounter them from time to time. So we should attempt to distinguish between the neg, as a tool in the secret gnostosexual toolbox of Game, from conversationally ubiquitous backhanded or ambiguous compliments in general. In order to do so we shall consult The Prophet (content warning):
You'll also note that a lot of these unnervingly ambiguous observations focus on a girl's presumed inability to cut loose and have some fun. They are designed, in other words, to eradicate anti-slut defenses and persuade her to open up… to you, the fearless judger of her feminine worth. Some others focus on her social naivete, or her craving for attention. Sprinkle to taste. Some of these negs fall under the category of cold reads; the difference being that cold reads are usually unambiguous compliments worded to entrap a girl deeper into conversation by getting her to talk about herself.
Seduction is the art of contrived concealment. You want to seduce without revealing the machinery of your mind, or the purpose of your words. You introduce the dangerous idea, and if you are successful, she picks up the idea and joins you in her own seduction.
When it comes the to prescriptive canon labeled "Game"[1] (again, content warning) Christians know right off the bat that some things are off limits. For example "always keep two in the kitty" (that is, keep a harem of women and "spin plates" so that no one woman 'controls'[2] you) is clearly contrary to Christian doctrine and morality. Not to mention stupid and a sign of low self-esteem.
The problem arises with more subtle or ambiguous "tools". The "neg" as described by the putative experts on Game is obviously morally evil when it functions to eradicate anti-slut defenses. It is also morally wrong when it functions as a kind of lie. Without actually getting into the breakdown, here, what is clear is that open-eyed wise discernment is needed — if there is anything good left over here at all that Tolkien hadn't already demonstrated decades before Roissy was in diapers. Separating the gold from the dross in "Game" isn't just a matter of picking which tools are good and which are evil. Each tool has to be broken down and re-discerned, re-filtered, re-constructed so that the remainder after discernment is morally acceptable.
This brings me to what I would ultimately like to propose in this post. Lets call it Rule 36: Any man who has the wisdom and discernment required to extract what is good from "Game" without being perverted by what is not, does not need to go to perverts for advice.
Deficiencies in fatherhood cannot be filled in by the Church, and they cannot be replaced by the "wisdom" of sexual perverts. Note the word cannot. If the Red Pill is supposed to be about accepting reality as it actually is rather than as we would like it to be, then accepting this reality should be a part of it.
[1] That is, the tools – the concrete actions recommended by PUAs under the heading "Game", as distinguished from description and analysis.
[2] Only a man who is a pathetic slave to sex can be controlled, via sex, by a woman — or a harem of women, for that matter. Don't be that guy.

"Islam is a toolbox, Zippy" he told me. "You don't understand how badly liberalism has emasculated modern young men."
"It was the Mohammedans who taught me how to reject liberalism and discover my masculinity. They don't have to be right about everything. I can take what is right and good in the Holy Koran, and ignore the things which are not good."
How consent of the governed makes everybody gay
January 24, 2014 § 37 Comments
Some of my readers are no doubt finding this tedious, but the beatings must continue until rationality improves.
It has been suggested that modern women are attracted to bad boys (men who make poor fathers) because women themselves just have an inherently disordered nature in that respect. Women are basically all (or almost all) just like homosexuals inasmuch as their sex drives are intrinsically disordered.
It has been further suggested (repeatedly) that to the extent that men defer to bad boys it is because those bad boys get all the chicks. I suspect that this counter-empirical insistence reflects an obsessive focus on women and all things female. If you think that you aren't considered a bad boy because you don't get female attention like the bad boys, you are probably obsessed with female attention (or its lack) and you've badly misunderstood the situation.
Men generally do to some extent admire/fear/respect/defer to bad boys because the bad boys get female attention — the feedback loop John suggests. But women are not the only reason for male deference to other males, by any stretch of the imagination. Women are not even a primary reason why some men defer to other men. There may be a feedback loop, but it isn't an isolated self-referential system with no other inputs.
Female attention is one of the spoils of social dominance; it is not a primary cause of social dominance.
Men determine the de-facto deference hierarchy, and women respond to that determination. Women know that in a confrontation, contextual-alpha-dork is going to back down and submit to M Shadows — if M Shadows pays him any attention at all. Women know that in a knife fight Bill Gates is going to run away from Tommy Tats-n-Piercings. You can't fool them into thinking otherwise.
Men, not women, determine the masculine hierarchy. Modern liberal men – that is, almost all men in the modern West – deny the legitimacy of masculine hierarchy. Even where there is de-jure hierarchy (Bill Gates over his subordinates, say), it is (required to be) fully voluntary: Gates only exercises authority by consent of the governed, over 'subordinates' who can up and quit any time. There is no absolutely binding command to it, just mutual self-interest and free choice. De-jure hierarchy under liberalism is not like natural masculine hierarchy: it is a very effeminate cooperation, that is, cooperation backed by no real binding authority with teeth, acknowledged as such.
Because an attempt to deny masculine hierarchy is an attempt to deny nature, liberalism cannot actually prevent masculine hierarchy from emerging. All it can do is categorize masculine hierarchy as sociopathic.
So the masculine hierarchy which emerges under liberalism is sociopathic, and the result is that modern women are attracted to sociopaths.
Women full of blinders
January 21, 2014 § 88 Comments
I've been writing recently about the dangers of treating low-life sexual perverts as leaders of men. I've explained why modern men tend to think bad boys are cool, and I've proposed that women love bad boys because men love bad boys. This hypothesis either has or does not have merit as an objective explanation, and I laid it out this way in one of the comment threads:
Define "bad boy" = "men who make poor fathers".
The conventional hypothesis (CH) is that women like "bad boys" because bad boys are more objectively masculine. This hypothesis, I suspect, gives the female lizard brain too much credit for objectivity. The female lizard brain is built to be shaped by male leadership, not to operate "on its own" outside of the context of male leadership. It also begs the question[1] of what is "masculine" and fails to explain why women frequently go for the kind of bad boy Mark Richardson describes.
The Zippy hypothesis (ZH) is that men — who are not natural leaders simpliciter, but arrange themselves into hierarchies as both leaders and followers – determine the hierarchy. The female lizard brain keys in on this male hierarchy (the actual one, not the formal one, thus "cool" vs nerd-king) and is naturally attracted to the men that (other) men "love", that is, submit to, admire, judge to be dominant and high value, think are "cool", etc.
So women find themselves (unwittingly, really, since this is the lizard brain we are talking about) attracted to the men that other men love, fear, admire, etc. Women have some control over this just as men have some control over how they respond to a woman dressed like a slut; but at the visceral level there is an involuntariness to the way the flesh responds to temptation.
So the reason modern women find themselves (whether they like it or not) attracted to "bad boys" – defined, remember, as men who make poor fathers – is because modern men go for bad boys. And the reason modern men go for bad boys is because liberalism is pervasive, the hierarchy has been destroyed, the whole world is on fire with rebellion against nature and nature's God, and the bad boy rebel has been elevated to the highest point in the de facto hierarchy – a hierarchy which is not allowed to exist but which persists despite its prohibition.
In a combox below Dalrock writes the following insight:
One of the problems with convincing women that cads/players are low value in an attempt to discourage her having sex with him is the woman's ability to identify the cad/player prior to having sex with him. My wife encounters this when talking to young women; their definition of "player" is the beta guy who gives them the creeps by telling them how beautiful they are. I see this same pattern on Yahoo Answers. I strongly suspect this is related to the scientific research finding that ovulating women fool themselves into thinking cads would make great dads. Telling women cads are sexual losers plays right into their blind spot, because they already want to peg the sexual losers as the cads, freeing them to pursue "true love" with that really smooth and not at all caddish guy who makes her tingle.
This is certainly a problem when we are talking in general, abstract terms, because it applies to situations where the 'filtering' process is up to women. Women should make note of this inherent problem in their filters.
But when it comes to actual, specific cads that we know on-line or in person – men whose particular claim to 'expertise' is their notch-count of bar skanks – we either treat them with respect and deference qua cad, buying their books and giving them naming rights over masculinity ("Game"), or we state the truth plainly: that they are the bottom-feeding perverts of the sexual revolution, and men of good will owe them nothing.
This brings me to my final point, which is that a kind of stockholm syndrome seems prevalent among some men who came by the truth through reading online self-professed cads. That is all well and good, because God always brings forth good from the evil we do and experience. Some saints came by their sainthood through suffering terrible diseases.
But it is one thing to be grateful for one's enlightenment however it came about, and it is another thing entirely to make a demi-god of syphilis.
[1] Here I do mean actually "begs the question," not "raises the question", which is what the phrase is frequently misused to mean.

On the nature of good advice
January 18, 2014 § 20 Comments
Many commenters have misunderstood the situation and are still asking questions based on a fantasy.
I'm just a blogger who goes by the moniker Zippy. It is not in my power to fix society, to make churches preach masculinity (as if that were the Church's job as opposed to fathers' job), etc.
If I observe a girl getting screwed by a sociopath, I advise her that it isn't a good idea: she should not sleep with the sociopath. She answers "but what masculine man will love me?" because she, like many commenters, misunderstands the situation. It is not within my power to create a population of non-sociopathic masculine men for her.
(She shouldn't take advice on how to be feminine from whores either.)
Yet the advice I am giving her — (1) stop getting screwed by the sociopath and (2) repent of your liberalism — is still the very best practical advice, beyond "repent your sins and be saved by Christ," that anyone can give her under the circumstances.
It doesn't matter whether or not that leaves a "vacuum". By temperament I've never needed someone to lead me to the extent that most men feel, it is true, and therefore it is probably easier for me to see this than others. But "vacuum" or not, it isn't a good idea to take the pervert's disease into your person as a substitute for what is missing. This is true for everyone, not just those of us who aren't intimidated by vacuums.
Drop the fantasy. Nobody is going to fix society for you, and I certainly don't have the power to do it. All I can do is give you advice on what to do in your own small (like mine) life.
And my advice in that respect is to stop getting f***ed by bad boys.
Why are men in love with bad boys?
January 17, 2014 § 32 Comments
It is often said that women love bad boys, and the prevailing idea is that women love bad boys intrinsically: it is just inherent to the fallen female nature to find bad boys attractive. Some time ago I proposed an alternative theory that has taken the world by storm: that women, as natural followers, love whomever it is that men love. And in our modern liberal society men are in love with bad boys.
It is frequently said that men are natural leaders while women are natural followers. While it is true that women generally speaking are natural and even visceral followers – all the verbal reassurances in the world aren't going to speak to her hind brain, which knows what it sees no matter what you say – it is not true that men are natural leaders, full stop. Men are both natural leaders and natural followers, and the natural patriarchal society is a naturally hierarchical society.
But liberalism rejects social hierarchy, so the longing for masculinity can only be filled, in modern liberal society, by men who are sociopaths.

Liza Minnelli : biography
On the 12 of March in 1946 a girl named Liza was born in Los Angeles, and her origin doom he to a star life. Her mother was Judy Garland, a famous Hollywood actress and owner of "Oscar", and her father was Vincente Minnelli, also very famous director and scriptwriter of musicals, who also had two "Oscars" for his films. Liza was a desired baby in a rich and artistic family, but her childhood wasn't very happy and cloudless. Judy and Vincente's marriage ended when their daughter was only four years old, and the girl lived by turns with mother and with father. She loved both parents, but father was main in her life.
Many family friends claimed that Judy Garland deprived Liza of her childhood, because a very little girl had to perform with her mother, and at the age of five she started to learn to dance step dance with the help of Fred Astor. Besides, Liza didn't know what own house was – she was a real child of Hollywood and spent time in hotels, shooting areas, as they say, behind the scenes. Soon after parents' divorce mother married Sid Luft, and this short-term marriage brought Liza brother and sister. The family was always travelling, and the elder daughter had to do all home duties, including answering mother's letters from admirers. She had to look after Judy too, who was keen on alcohol and drugs, to hide pills, call doctors… The family was often hard up for money – mother didn't know who to economize. During years of Liza Minnelli's childhood she learnt in twenty schools and lived with four fathers-in-law.
But Liza didn't have problems with career in childhood. Her first work was a role in a film "In The Good Old Summertime", which appeared in 1949, when Liza was three years old. At the age of seven she danced on the New York stage, at the age of thirteen took part in a TV show, and at the age of seventeen she sang with mother in England. She decided to give up school at the age of sixteen and told parents that she wanted to be an actress. Father didn't have objections, but mother didn't like this idea. Probably, Judy considered daughter as a competitor, but she permitted her to enter the world of show business, though she refused to help her financially. So Liza began independent career with hundred dollars in a pocket. Life without parents wasn't at all sweet – once the girl was even evicted from a hotel, they took her belongings towards the repayment of her debt. This night, which she spent in New York Central Park, Liza Minelli swore that she would manage without outside assistance. When Frank Sinatra, godfather of her brother, sent Liza five hundred dollars, so that she could hold out for the first time, she sent it away. She found a work of a model and made some money on the side as an extra in New York theatres to keep herself and pay the rent.
Hard times finished quickly, two years later. In 1963 she was given a main role in a play, but before a premiere the girl broke her leg, and it didn't take place. But she recorded a song "You are made for love", and the record spread with a big number of copies. It happened in 1964, when Liza had already played in a musical under the name "Best Foot Forward" and got "The Theatre World Award", her first award. Owing to such successful record and prestigious award the young actress was noticed – solo concerts and tours around Europe started. In 1965 Liza got a role in a musical "Flora The Red Menace", and her play was noted with a theatrical award "Tony". The second work with "Flora" authors was also successful – a musical "Cabaret", made by John Cander and Fred Ebb, it was very popular and got eight nominations from eleven on "Tony" award.
Critics began to talk about Liza, comparing her with mother and promising that she would become more popular than Garland. Certainly, mother and daughter were very similar in a manner of playing, but Liza didn't like these comparisons – sometimes she even sang out of tune specially to avoid likeness. In November of 1964 Judy invited Liza to sing with her in London – and two joint concerts were called Judy Garland's decline and Liza Minnelli's ascent.

A New Year Begins
Before I get into all the announcements I have, let me first say...
Happy New Year!!!
I hope that you all had a great New Year, and are ready to start 2012 with a brand new, clean slate. Another 365 (or is it a leap year with 366 days?) days of opportunities, fun, adventures, voyages, and love. I look forward to the coming year, and I see great changes and wonderful gatherings in store for us. I have a lot of plans for this year, and I want to make sure that it is the best year that the Shadow Sorcerors will have yet! So, without further adue, here are some of the plans that I have in store for us.
January: Recruitment Month
I can't help but have noticed a slight decrease in our guild's activity lately. This is due in part to several things and I will get to more of them later; however, it has lead me to the decision that I think it is time to see the next generation of Shadow Sorcerors. While this is not meant to fix activity, I hope that it will boost it in addition to other plans I have that I will get to later. With all these fresh faces, I hope to see a new group of members to carry us forward; therefore, I am naming January of 2012 a Recruitment Month. I would like to see EVERYONE contributing to this. With our clean slate of 2012, I want to get some new members to start off the year with. These new members can hopefully help to make up our next group of veterans and officers. The same rules for recruitment, as always, apply now.
Events, Events, Events!
Events are a wonderful time for the guild to get together and interact with each other. It is a great time for new members to meet up with people and really get to know them. Events, in my opinion, are where players truly bond with each other. This is why I have decided to place more emphasis on events this year than in 2011. I will try my best to plan more events and more interesting events. I also would like to see them advertised more in the guild. This is not just for me, but for all of you as well to make sure that you are showing up to our events. If you show up to these events, then not just are you contributing to the amount of players there and the fun involved for you, but you are also making it more enjoyable for everyone else, especially our newer members. I would like to see EVERYONE reminding EVERYONE about our events, and to keep track of them. I also would like to see higher attendance at our Sorceror Event Nights, as these are our most frequent events. Because of their frequency, it makes for great bonding time with new members, and older ones too.
More Bonding
I would like to try much more this year for our members to get closer than ever. While we are already very close, I find that sometimes there are people that feel left out in the guild, and I want to place extra emphasis this year, and for all time, to make sure that that quiet person who's not really doing much feels included and part of our nation. So this year, I want all of you to try to come online just a little bit more, talk personally to that one person who you haven't talked to before. Ask if someone else needs help with their quest. Also, start out spontaneous Mini-Events. These can go from simple voyages or looting trips to intense role-playing adventures (and yes, I will try to work on the Guild Quest this year. ). This year, I want each and every one of you, myself included, to make sure that everyone is feeling included in this guild. For without unity, what are we? Without unity, we cannot be what we want to be.
Guild Pride and Showing Our Name
After two and a half years in the Caribbean, I would really like to try to get our names out there. Many people know who we are, but I think that we could get our name out there more. There are plenty of ways to do this, including exploring new regions of the Internet (Somewhat off-topic, but while I'm talking about the Internet, I would also like to have more people register on the guild site and on POF), and of course, Guild Pride! This year I would like to try to do a few more guild pride events; at least one event involving some every month. That's my goal, and I'd like to stick to it. This way we can let the Caribbean know who we are, and that we are some of the best!
More in Store...
Trust me, your faithful Guildmaster has a lot more in store for all of you. I plan to do a lot of fun things this year. Some things will be repeats of successes last year, others will be completely new things. I would like to explore some new methods of running a guild and I would like the guild itself to experiment a bit with some new ways of living. I'll definitely bring back certain hits (Yes Mr. Darkwalker, that means The Shadow Games) and try for some new types of events and activities as well. This year will be a great year for us, and I look forward to it all.
I look forward to the year of 2012! Let's make this year the best one yet! Happy New Year, and of course,
Hail to the Shadow Sorcerors!
Woo! *clap clap*
Sounds like it'll be a fun New Year in the Shadow Sorcerers. I'm exited! This will be my first full year in the Sorcerers.

A campaign has been launched to raise £1,000 to repair and replace a sign put up more than 40 years ago in Doncaster to celebrate the Queen's Silver Jubilee.
The village sign in Sprotbrough was originally erected in 1977 in the grounds of St Mary's Church Hall – but in recent years the sign has fallen into disrepair and was removed from the grounds last year on safety concerns.
Now community campaigners want to restore the sign to its former glory and have launched a fundraising drive to restore it to its former glory.
Spokesman Leanne Pratt said: "The sign depicts a knight and his lady, surrounded by the Copley-Fitzwilliam coat of arms, copied from a brass plaque in St Mary's Church.
"It was mounted on a tall solid wood frame on which Sprotbrough was enscribed.
"In November 2017 the plaque was removed from the grounds of the church hall, as it was decaying and deemed unsafe due to lack of maintainance.
"The Sprotbrough WI were hoping to raise funds for a new frame and maintenance, however a change in UK charity laws means they are no longer allowed to raise funds for projects of this nature.
"A quote has been obtained for £1,000 to repair and maintain the sign. We're looking to raise £1,100 to cover the cost and the just giving fees of raising the funds.
"You can donate anonymously if you wish and all donations even as small as a couple of pounds are a step closer to reinstating the sign back in its home in the hall grounds."

Gun violence can be an awkward subject at the Sundance Film Festival. Over the years, the event has helped popularize — some would say glamorize — extreme gun imagery in movies; Quentin Tarantino was incubated and hatched here.
But this year Sundance programmers, with deep commitment to freedom of expression, and their selected filmmakers seem to be taking a position that real guns, not the movie kind, ought to be more tightly policed.

If Sunday brunch feels incomplete without the sweet taste of syrup, then learning about the process of making maple syrup during a "Maple Weekend" in New York is for you.
For several weekends in the late winter and early spring, a number of New York's Sullivan County maple syrup producers allow travelers to come to open houses (actually "open farms") and witness just how it's done.
The Catskill Mountain Sugar House, owned by the Garigilano family, tapped more than 62-thousand trees on their 800-acre farm this year. The drive up to Sugar House Lane leads to acres of farmland, with trees entwined in a massive maze of plastic blue tubing running from tree to tree to tree.
A local guide explains that the timing of tapping maple trees varies based on elevation and location, but most are tapped in the late winter/early spring season. Why? Because this is a time when daytime temperatures rise above freezing, but fall back below freezing at night. Those alternating temperatures are needed to produce the flow of sap from the trees, and the sap usually flows for a month to six weeks.
A Sugar House
At the Catskill Mountain Sugar House, there are so many trees tapped that they've come up with a special "vacuum" system allowing for the sap to make it through the massive tubing system and into sap houses, and then giant vats. You'll be able to hike or snowshoe through the acres of land to witness this amazing system first hand.
To make one gallon of fresh maple syrup, it requires between 40 and 50 gallons of tree sap. (Easier to understand why good syrup is so expensive now!) Once collected, the sap then goes through reverse osmosis (and don't worry, you can get a quick science lesson on site). As the evaporation takes place, the sugar concentration can increase from about 1.5% to as much as 6% sugar. What's left goes into a massive boiler, resembling a shiny stainless steel freight train, where it's heated to approximately 216 degrees—and voila—maple syrup is made!
Making the Grades
Syrup is "classified" by color and taste—lines of test tubes filled with syrup appear almost as one would find paint samples in a home décor store—with the color of the syrup relating to the syrup's flavor intensity. The lighter the syrup, the more delicate the taste…the darker the syrup, the richer the taste.
Got Maple?
For those who crave even more than just syrup, you may also find other treats in store, including maple candy, granulated maple sugar, lollipops—even Bourbon maple syrup and maple mustard depending on where you end up!
Other Farms (and there are plenty to choose from!) you may want to visit include the Muthig Farm, which has been producing since 1958, Sara's Sugar Shack and Winterton Farms. Make sure to call first to let them know you're coming and may you have some sweet travels!

The histories of Blancpain's iconic Fifty Fathoms, the world's first modern diving watch, and diving itself have been intertwined ever since 1953. It's therefore fitting that Blancpain has brought these two stories together in a richly illustrated, collectible volume entitled Fifty Fathoms: The Dive and Watch History 1953-2013. Blancpain's editors enlisted experts from both fields to chronicle the twin evolutions and milestones of underwater time keeping and exploration. The result is a comprehensive portrait of pioneers and inventors never before assembled in a single album. The book, with its unique compilation of materials, has been conceived to become an authoritative historical resource for both divers and diving watch aficionados.
Made in France.
Size: 11.75 inches x 13 inches. Pages: 475. Illustrations: 500 color, 139 black and white. Numbered and limited to 2750 copies.
About the book: This new volume for the first time comprehensively charts the milestones in the 60 year history of Blancpain's Fifty Fathoms. From its birth in 1953, the Fifty Fathoms provided a formula so well conceived that it has defined the entire genre ever since. Innovation did not stop with the first watch and Blancpain has honored and enriched the legacy with numerous inventions and improvements that have continued to secure the pre-eminent position of the Fifty Fathoms in the world of diving watches. The book's chapters recount the stories of 24 of the most important adventurers who pioneered exploration of the world's oceans such as Hans Haas, Jacques-Yves Cousteau, and Stan Waterman. This never before assembled resource of horology and diving also includes a time line charting these two histories as well as an encyclopedia of terms.

After the bell, the traders pored over results from Hewlett-Packard looking to see if the drama surrounding the company would drag down sentiment.
But those worries were unfounded; the Street liked what HP had to say.
Shares climbed in extended trade after the computer giant raised its fiscal 2011 revenue and earnings forecasts with the firm citing strong computer sales as well as strong storage sales.
But perhaps more important results suggested that HP had not suffered any ill effects from the internal turmoil that has vexed the company since August, beginning with the abrupt departure of former chief Mark Hurd.
Wall Street is less focused on HP's typically solid results than they are on getting a better fix on new CEO Leo Apotheker, analysts say.
His most immediate task may be to restore stability and poise following a tumultuous four months that saw Hurd's departure and a nasty spat with one-time partner Oracle Corp.
Investors were also pleased to that HP did not highlight any impact from the government spending woes that plagued rival Cisco, assuaging fears that public sector budget cuts were beginning to hurt technology providers.

Ulster Council feels that the much-maligned McKenna Cup "serves a good purpose".
While questions have been raised over the value of continuing with the pre-season intercounty competitions in all four provinces, Ulster Council secretary Brian McAvoy is adamant that the Dr McKenna Cup is not going anywhere.
"I sit on the national CCC and there hasn't been any discussions about getting rid of the pre-season competitions at the national fixtures committee. It hasn't been a topic at all at CCC," the Down man told The Irish News.
"The McKenna Cup is very well supported for a pre-season competition. Counties would be looking challenge games in January anyway, and in Ulster I know the colleges - all three of them - value it as preparation ahead of Sigerson.
"It serves a good purpose and I have certainly detected no movement within Ulster to do away with it. There may be one or two voices barking in the wind but within the province of Ulster they're in a very small minority.
"I don't think anybody calling for a blanket ban on what is a very popular competition is really looking at the bigger picture. It's just a knee-jerk reaction – I don't think they're really thinking it through."
The 2019 Dr McKenna Cup is provisionally scheduled to commence on the weekend of December 28/29.Tweet

In 2015, two Kalamazoo Nature Center staff, Ashley Wick and Jennifer Brenneman, participated in the National Network for Ocean and Climate Change Interpretation's (NNOCCI) Study Circle. NNOCCI's goal with their Study Circles is to establish a network of professionals who are skilled in communicating climate science to the American public. Wick and Brenneman brought back knowledge on communicating climate science to different audiences by framing climate change in a context to which people can relate. We apply lessons learned to communications and educational opportunities in our work in the Great Lakes and suggest how others working in conservation can use everyday interactions to convey the importance of climate change action using the strategic framing method. Participants will leave the roundtable with an elevator speech they can use in their everyday lives and careers to clarify the "how" of climate change and inspire people to act and motivate around solutions. These interactions will focus on hope and community-level action to reduce our fossil fuel reliance rather than the doom and gloom message presented around climate change in the past.

gormless, aka. how i looked during the majority of my lectures
Hey everyone! Yasmin and I was very inspired by a Buzzfeed article we saw a few weeks ago with a collection of grad photos taken at In and Out. Sadly, my In'n'Out days are over since leaving California but London has plenty of Five Guys!
To say that my University experience has had it ups and downs is very generic, but also very true. It now feels surreal to say that I actually have a degree. The University process can feel so long sometimes and you get so stuck with the label of 'student' that when you finally receive that certificate, it doesn't quite seem real. I'll be updating my CV today to say that I officially graduated. Hopefully that will make it a little more real for me.
I studied at Royal Holloway for four years to receive my BA in English. It took one year extra because I chose to do an additional study abroad year at UCLA where I studied French and American Literature. A lot of people questioned my decision to make my degree longer. But it was absolutely the best year of my whole degree. If I could give any advice to students it would be to take a year or a semester out. Whether that's a study abroad, Erasmus, year in industry or just a break to go travel and learn independently in the middle of your degree. It's perfectly allowed and will make the world of difference mental health wise.
My other solid pieces of advice would be to get involved as much as you can. Heard it before? It's because it's tried, tested and true. Try all the clubs and sports that sound interesting to you and whittle them down as you move forward in your University career. You'll end up with lots of friends, with a variety of different interests even if you don't stay in those clubs/sports for a significant amount of time.
And so after four years, of tantrums, debt worry, heartbreak, laughs, tears because I've been laughing so hard, learning, failing to learn, reading and reading and writing and writing; I finish with a 2:1 from Royal Holloway. I couldn't be happier to be done and ready for this next chapter.

Jackeydawra Melford was really called Alice Bradshaw Jackeydora Melford. There are many ways to spell her name, but Melford herself wrote it as Jackeydawra. She was the daughter of theatre actor Mark Melford, who possibly named her after a popular comic opera that he wrote, and in an interview with Audrey Wadowska in 1963, Melford also claims that this opera was the basis of her father's film The Herncrake Witch (1912). It is an extraordinary name for an extraordinary woman. An audiotape interview from 1975 focuses on her beginnings performing on stage in her father's comedy sketches in music halls from the time she was very young. She may even have been born while his theatre company was on tour in Nottingham. Audrey Wadowska suggested to Tjitte de Vries that this videotaped interview was intended to be the start of a full autobiography, although there does not appear to be evidence of further work on such a project. As typed, the manuscript only amounts to three pages. Melford's brother Jack and sister Mavis were also actors and Jackeydawra acted in at least two motion pictures directed by her father, The Land of Nursery Rhymes (1912) and The Herncrake Witch, but she may have appeared in many more, we learn from an interview conducted with her on the Isle of Sheppey in 1963. She completed one film, The Inn on the Heath (1914), as director, producer, and actor after her father suddenly died in January 1914. Melford was an active suffragette and joined Emmeline Pankhurst's movement, the WSPU. Arthur Melbourne-Cooper displays a slight annoyance at having had to bail "his" star actress out of jail a couple of times for her violent protesting, he stated in an interview with Audrey Wadowska and other family members in 1956. She married Wallace Colgate in 1915 and together they lived a large part of their lives on the Isle of Sheppey in Kent, all of which is documented in sources held in the Arthur Melbourne-Cooper Archive.
Mark Melford was quite a famous theatre actor and playwright and as such was contracted to the Heron Film Company, probably around mid-1912. He directed many of his own short sketches, of usually around five hundred feet, in which he also acted. Joint managing director of the company with Andrew Heron at this time was animation film pioneer Arthur Melbourne-Cooper, and thanks to his daughter, Audrey Wadowska, who made reassembling Melbourne-Cooper's films her life's work, we have videotaped interviews of Jackeydawra Melford as well as Wadowska later interviewed about those interviews by Tjitte de Vries. Wadowska interviewed Melford many times and rescued some of the 35mm nitrate positive motion picture prints that Melford kept in precarious conditions in her house on the Isle of Sheppey. Among these films were the Heron Company The Herncrake Witch (1912) and the Brightonia film Flying from Justice (1913), both adaptations of plays written by Mark Melford. Jackeydawra Melford refers to The Herncrake in great detail in her interview with Wadowska in 1963, and remembers a lot about the process of filming it. She even criticizes the back-up camerman for his incapability of filming tricks, as she was used to Melbourne-Cooper's expertise. Prints of these films as well as the taped interviews are now in the Arthur Melbourne-Cooper archive in Rotterdam. Wadowska and Melford also had a regular correspondence, and many of Melford's letters have been preserved. Although Wadowska repeatedly encouraged Melford to remember details about her involvement with early cinema, Melford either did not remember, or, as Wadowska seems to think, was reluctant to share her knowledge. Another theory is that the senior Melford and Melbourne-Cooper apparently did not get along well. Mark Melford's tendency to overact, big star though he may have been on the stage, did not translate well onto the screen, and he was very demanding behind the scenes as well, something we glean from the 1963 interview that is confirmed by Wadowska, interviewed in 1981, and also by a 1913 article in the Cinema (37).
Mark and Jackeydawra Melford, father and daughter, were working together on a new film when he suddenly died in January 1914, and that film, The Inn on the Heath, was finally released in November 1914. We wonder exactly what stage they were at in the production in January, but the fact that Jackeydawra Melford has been credited with directing it suggests that it may not have been shot or was only partially shot. Since Mark Melford is credited as an actor, we wonder if he appeared on screen. In her interviews with Wadowska, Melford insists she only finished the film and that it was really her father's project. However, she does recall that it was she who asked her father to come up with a story for a highwayman film. The film was produced under the name Jackdaw Films, a company especially created by Melford to release it. Although some comedies were later issued by Jackdaw, Melford's claim was that someone had just used the name. The Inn on the Heath was distributed by R. Prieur & Company, and in the 1963 interview, Melford suggests that the original print of the film probably stayed at Prieur's office because they wanted to make more positive prints. However, when the war broke out, the person in charge enlisted, and this confused things, explaining why it was not among the nitrate prints she kept on the Isle of Sheppey.
In 1914 the trade magazine the Bioscope visited Melford at the Prieur offices to screen the film and in print exhibited enthusiasm for this "new British lady producer's" first effort, making it clear that she had been the director as well as the producer of The Inn on the Heath (253). A later review by the Bioscope included a film still, revealing it to be a costume film set in 18th century London that had been partly filmed on location at the Staple Inn. These settings were praised as "extremely picturesque" as were the romance, humor, and resourceful action. Although by all appearances a typical highwayman film, it is actually the girl, played by Melford, who rescues her highwayman lover from prison and prevents her stepfather from murdering him. The Bioscope critic concluded that although it was no masterpiece, "it reveals a surprisingly firm grasp of picture play technique besides real artistic sensibility on the part of its maker" (253). In her interviews from 1979, Wadowska recalls that Melford could remember going to the York castle museum to do research for a highwayman film, which supports the possibility that the film had really been her idea in the first place.
Even though we can only confirm one directorial credit, Melford has somehow become known as the first woman to direct a British film. She is even mentioned as such in the Guinness Book of Movie Facts and Feats (121). I would contest this because it is true that Ethyle Batley directed many motion pictures in the 1910s. Rather than making factual statements, however, it is more interesting to trace the assumption. In an interview with Tjitte de Vries in 1981, Audrey Wadowska suggests that it was Melford herself who promoted the idea that she was the "first woman," evident in the way she responded to the interviewers from the Bioscope and the Cinema. In 1913, the Cinema reported that Melford at that point was already "developing an ambition to master the mysteries of the camera" and that she had "acquired that technical knowledge of the art of film-making" that has made her "an invaluable assistant to her able chief" (37). In 1914, after her father's death and with her own film finished, Melford could have been promoting herself as unique in the film industry, defining herself without her father. Unfortunately we know of no other involvement she may have had in that industry, and the interviews imply that the outbreak of World War I was the end of it all. Tjitte de Vries's lecture at the Arthur Melbourne-Cooper Archive in 2005 is illuminating. There is a clue to be found in correspondence deposited in the Arthur Melbourne-Cooper in the form of a letter written by Melbourne-Cooper from the early 1920s in which he explains some techniques of animation filmmaking, complete with drawings of a set with camera positions and angles. This letter was written in reply to Jackeydawra Melford, who had written to him for advice because she had bought a camera and was planning to make her own animated film.

As Libyan rebels first captured an important military base just outside the city and then streamed towards Tripoli, it was doubtful they would be able to retain the ground they would soon occupy. On other occasions, rebels had captured urban areas only to be pushed back by forces loyal to Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi.
No doubt that was the scenario anticipated by Mr. Gadhafi and his spokesman, Musa Ibrahim, hours before Tripoli fell to the rebels.
A newscaster at the state run media appeared hopeful.
The government, Mr. Ibrahim crowed, demands "an immediate halt of NATO's aggression against our nation and for all parties to sit down and begin a peaceful way out of this crisis. We believe unless the international community heeds this appeal, many people will be killed and terrible crimes will be committed."
Threats of blood and mayhem have never lagged far behind calls made by Mr. Gadhafi's government for talks and reconciliation. And so, the newscaster, brandishing a pistol as he spoke, vowed to kill the rebels.
Mr. Gadhafi taunted the insurgents as rats, offered a cease fire and warned that atrocities would ensue if the rebel offensive continued.
Late Sunday night, Mr. Ibrahim described the rebels as "vengeful, hateful" tribes and prophesied that ""NATO will be held responsible morally and legally for the deaths" that might occur that night.
The night passed, the day dawned, three of Mr. Gadhafi's sons were captured by the rebels, and the search for Dad was on.

Glastonbury on course for record low crime level
This year's Glastonbury Festival is on course for a record low level of crime and arrests.
The 2015 festival saw the best ever crime rates for the music and arts celebration at Worthy Farm in Somerset and this year is poised for even lower figures.
There had been 40 arrests by 10am on Monday, compared with 72 in 2015, and 186 reported crimes, compared with 242 last year, Avon and Somerset Police said.
Some 114 of the reported crimes this year were thefts from tents.
The figures come as campers and revellers make their way home from the site, leaving behind tonnes of debris.
A major clean-up operation is under way on Worthy Farm as the 1,000 acre festival site is turned back into farm land, with 1,800 litter pickers scouring the grounds for rubbish while revellers pack up their tents and head for the exits.
The 135,000 festival-goers are expected to leave behind 500,000 sacks of rubbish, 57 tonnes of reusable items and 1,022 tonnes of recycling, according to the Glastonbury Free Press.
The muddy conditions which plagued arrivals on Wednesday and continued throughout the festival made things difficult for departing cars and camper vans and some vehicles have been towed out of the mud.
The AA said they were preparing for their busiest day of the festival but police said there had been no traffic incidents so far and more than half the cars had made it off the site by 9am.
On Sunday evening, headliners Coldplay closed the festival on the Pyramid Stage, bringing on special guests including festival founder Michael Eavis - who performed Frank Sinatra's My Way - and Bee Gees star Barry Gibb.
The group also paid tribute to the late band Viola Beach, who were killed in February.
They gave Viola Beach their posthumous Glastonbury debut by performing their song Boys That Sing.
Muse made a triumphant return to Glastonbury Festival when they played the Pyramid Stage on Friday, completing their hat-trick - having now headlined all nights of the festival.
Adele overcame her nerves about the size of the crowd to make her Glastonbury debut, which she hailed "the best moment of my life".
Between cackled anecdotes and rambling expletive-filled musings, Adele treated the crowd to hits from her career-making Hometown Glory to Send My Love and When We Were Young from her new album 25.
Glastonbury also paid tribute to David Bowie, with an Aladdin Sane lightning bolt suspended above the Pyramid Stage, as well as hosting flash mobs, singalongs, and a classical orchestra headline act on the Park Stage.
Across the festival, acts made sure to include many of Bowie's songs as parts of their set.

Undercover Investigations and Why I'm Torn
It has been awhile since I talked about animal rights on here, but after attending the recent New York City Veg Fest last weekend I am invigorated and impassioned to keep the dialogue going about the links between my most precious issues: women and animals. I alternate between listening to two weekly podcasts--one is Dan Savage's Love podcast that discusses current political news on sex and also does advice on sex/relationships and the other is Our Hen House which has a vegan and animal rights focus. So basically I alternate between these two every week and my head is starting to get dizzy from all the attacks on women and on animal rights activists/advocates. I can't go a week without hearing one of the podcasts ranting about new legislation that restricts the rights of those who are already oppressed.
I don't need to remind anyone of what is going on in this country to hurt family planning and sexual/reproductive rights, do I? Well, it seems an eerily parallel movement against animals is happening. Just last week Iowa passed the nation's first "Ag Gag" bill which you can read about HERE. The Iowa bill criminalizes those who obtain employment under false pretenses with the intent to harm the business, rather than the actual act of filming animal cruelty in a factory farm (that is redundant, right?). Well, that's the quick and dirty version.
So, here is my struggle...I want factory farms to be exposed for their cruelty (not only to animals, but also workers) more than anyone. I know deep down that undercover investigations in factory farms are NOT the same as anti-woman creeps like Lila Rose (and yes I feel bad giving any of her sites web traffic, but google her if you must). The footage and audio that people like Lila Rose obtain from abortion clinics is manipulated and taken out of context and at the end of the day just a downright lie. When it comes to undercover footage from factory farms there is little manipulation going on. I have seen enough of that footage to know that animal cruelty is commonplace in factory farms and no amount of photoshopping or editing can create the horrors I have seen. Watching sadistic factory farm workers anally rape cows or electrocute chickens is pretty clear cut, as opposed to the shades of grey that have come out of Lila Rose's undercover endeavors (re: abortion counseling with a minor who has an 18+ boyfriend).
My gut tells me they're not the same, but I still can't sit right with it. Let me be clear I do not support the ag gag laws by any means. The more factory farms are exposed then the more business they lose and the less animals suffer. There is just something about the deception that weirds me out and I can't place why or how. I don't have an answer about this....would love to hear thoughts from others.

Because of the deception? To whom? To people who torture and kill animals for money and to people who deceive the public with how animals are treated.ReplyDelete
Going back to the early 20th century, undercover investigations have been a crucial tool for exposing concealed abuse, corruption, and horror in the United States. From Upton Sinclair's The Jungle to Nellie Bly's investigation of women's treatment in insane asylums to John Howard Griffin's Black Like Me exposing the devastating daily effect of segregation on black people. Undercover investigation are and have been a venerable tool for exposing abuses of power.
Even if one has a problem with the "deception," this problem should pale in comparison to the problem one should have with the daily torture and exploitation of nearly 10 billion factory farmed animals in the United States.
Our WI gov Scott walker just introduced a bill "to increase milk production so farmers can buy WI milk for their cheese" which means factory farm subsidies. They do not say this outright because a majority of the people here vaguely hate factory as opposed to "family" farms. They use Mexican imported labor on these farms under the guise of "diversity" and pay them room and board.ReplyDelete
Here is the beginning of the post I wrote about being in a reproductive health demonstration against all the restrictions our repub legislatures put on abortion and contraception insurance yesterday. They already defunded Planned Parenthood:
I must say it was great. The post immediately below this one gives the issues we were protesting. This post is just about my feelings. I am glad I went.
The best of the old days - sisterhood. LOTS of women - serious women - at least half of them were my age and the other half much younger. We stood around the way you do when gathering at 11:30 am - smiling till our cheeks cracked as more and more women came.
We were at the WI State Capitol, on the steps up to the doors, filling up all those steps, shuffling closer and closer to the doors.
We could not get into the Capital gallery to watch those mother killers vote our rights away because the gallery WAS FILLED WITH THE WOLF PEOPLE. The wolf people were there protesting the passing of legislation allowing the just delisted wolf to be hunted with dogs and allowing trappers to make money by placing traps in our parks (to kill our dogs and cats) and allowing 12 year olds with bows and arrows to go killing in the parks. The wolf people are my people. I loved that they were there too.
They did pass the bill, making an Oct through Feb wolf hunting season here with dogs, the longest season in the state. The mother will be giving birth in March and they are killing her with dogs, traps, and bows and arrows in February – the Alpha - carrying the pack's only pups - with bow, arrows and dogs. And of course the entire pack will go down before they let her be taken – even the DNR biologists are screaming that no civilized country does this.
The same killers oppress both women and animals -- get their kicks doing the worst behavior imaginable. Sadists.
The steps up to the Capitol were full up. There was a statue of Lady Liberty (the boys call it Forward) on the first layer of steps and soon she was covered with signs saying "Stop the War on Women".
There was a band there - horns and other instruments - playing rocking versions of Solidarity Forever and the Battle Hymn of the Republic. A huge drummer man was there at the bottom of the steps with the war drum. Soon there was a sea of signs, people singing. Then another group led us all in singing; "we are a gentle angry people fighting fighting for our lives". And all the time the drum was pounding out the beat. I bet they heard that drum inside.
On my blog I have pictures of the crowd -- Prominently among the placards displayed is a huge sign with a wolf picture on it. I looked around and saw signs with animals in traps and realized that the wolf women had come outside to join us on the steps.
We are women, one with the female in every species on the planet - all of us oppressed by the same patriarchal spirit.
As for the deception -- just expose the lies if they misrepresent the facts - and sue. Far worse is the use of gag laws. All the sadistic torture is done where no one can see -- they do not want exposure because they know their product will gag the eaters if they knew.ReplyDelete
We have nothing to fear from exposure if we are smart.
I believe we should be reporting child sexual exploitation if we see it in the clinics. That a girl is being sexually exploited should be part of the counseling and after care. This would be a long post if I went into the details but the truth will not stop children from getting abortions they need and the sexual abuse should be stopped by the clinic is they are ethical. Nothing to fear from doing the right thing.
Look at this being proposed in WI #*%# Maybe we should get a few video cameras of our own.ReplyDelete
Bill Number:
SJR 28/AJR 34 [ view bill ]
Passed in Senate; Passed in Assembly
Sen. Kapanke and Rep. Jacque
"Unable to shut down legitimate women's centers, the anti-choice movement has built a network of fake clinics called "crisis pregnancy centers" (CPCs) that mislead women to convince them not to access abortion care. Now, extreme anti-choice politicians in Wisconsin have proposed a resolution to honor these centers throughout the month of October."
I suppose in all fairness I should admit I have left veganism for more sustainable pastures. However, your post reminds me of the quote "consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds." You don't have to have the same rules for both because they are not the same. We have critical thinking skills, use them. There's nothing wrong with applying rules differently to different situations. There is nothing wrong with disapproving of editing intended to skew the view as opposed to disapproving of all undercover journalism.ReplyDelete
*If you want to know what I mean by more sustainable you can read Meat: A Benign Extravagance or just contemplate how much of the animals' land we'd have to take to feed everyone on plants alone. I'm all for an end to animal mistreatment but I think universal vegetarianism may do more harm than good.
If you really are reading this and dont understand the abuse that the animals in factorys (and other places, everywhere) endure at the hands of man go to Earthlings.com. TRIGGER WARNING: There are EXTREMEMLY graphic images of animals being abused and tortured by factorys and people in general.ReplyDelete
I don't cry about much of anything, but this Trailor (and I only watched the trailor I couldn't stomach the movie) made me have to stop working that day because I was bawling. I had to go sit down in a more private area for like 10 minutes and my whole day felt like poop. So please be very careful with yourself and the content. I couldn't warn you enough about it.
P.S. For those of you who do watch it, that animal that has no skin and blinks at the camera, that's a fox.
This is not a debate forum -- there are hundreds of other sites for that. This is a safe space for abortion care providers and one that respects the full spectrum of reproductive choices; comments that are not in that spirit will either wind up in the spam filter or languish in the moderation queue.

Wow, this was brilliant, simply brilliant. I just hope that Harry will take advantage of the few minutes he has gained with his, let's call it distraction manoeuvre, sounds better than lie, doesn't it? My vote for the next challenge is 1, the prank. I even have an idea I like very much. Sadly, my writing skills are lacking.

My muse came through, after a few abandoned stories. Hopefully, they will eventually find their way to this august archive, even if not for this challenge. My vote is for the magical creature hunt.
JJamieDupane came out of the woodwork on 2017.03.27 - 04:13AM to say:
I'm up for all but option 2. But if I do have to choose then it's a toss up between 1 and 4. I want both but I guess if push comes to shove, I'll say 1 as it sounds more cheerful rather than angsty...

To paraphrase Maya Angelou "They won't remember what you say, they won't remember what you do – but they will remember how you make them feel".
I believe that this is some of the best guidance that a comedian could ever ask for. Combined with liberal application of Millican's Law, they should get you successfully through most of the angst filled, self directed inquests that we all conduct on a frequent basis.
They also explain what we sometimes know to be true but struggle to understand – why some comedians with weaker, less well written sets than ours get the bigger applause, the place in the competition final and the paid spot next month.
As clever as your words are, as perfectly as your set is structured, if the audience don't 'get' you then you've fallen short. You. Because they've felt something negative between you and them; awkwardness at your dark material, dissociation from your cultural references – "that Oyster Card routine usually works" – or confusion at the inconsistent character you present on stage.
So, ask yourself – how do you make the audience feel?
