How I Envy Those Confidence Men
Sadly for me, I empathize all too well - and I am so good at picking up non-verbal cues from people who want me to shut up that it can render me mute, almost as though as I have been bullied telepathically. Things would be so much simpler if I could project my wants and needs and self-interest onto the world without any self-consciousness. But I can't.
The people I envy most are not the Aspies, but the sociopaths. They not only lack the embarrassing geekiness of the Aspies (or, at least, what would be embarrassing to the Aspies if they could see themselves as others do) - but they are actually smoother, more charming and more seemingly clued in than the rest of us. And yet they get a free pass on empathy and self-consciousness, too. They don't let any consideration or even a sense of shame get between them and what they want. They just don't care! They have the best of both worlds, if total self-centeredness is your thing.
The smoothest of all the creatures in the slithering menagerie of the sociopathic is The Confidence Man. Here is the guy whose face never loses its winning smile, who is never at a loss for words. Whether it's a job interview or a girl he sets his sights on, he never fails to nail it - or her. He's the one I want to be like.
In pursuit of this ideal, I have deliberately faked my answers to Psychopath Tests and snorted gleefully when I scored on the high side. But never high enough, unfortunately, not even with all my attempts as psyching out the testers. I work hard to cultivate ruthless thoughts, so much so that I might one day vote Republican. I have taught myself to lie convincingly - without hemming or hawing, without either shifting my eyes or staring too fixedly. I have grown proud of my ability to lie. I treasure the occasions in my life on which I have cheated in some way - academically, sexually or just playing cards. To remember them makes me feel as comfortably worldly as mulling a glass of single malt whiskey before the fireplace.
And yet the true supreme confidence of the sociopath eludes me still. It surely must be because I am trying too hard. A real sociopath does not get up in the morning and say to himself, "Today I will behave without scruples or empathy". He just does it! Therein lies his secret. To become less self-conscious, I have let the fire of my own violent thoughts and fantasies blaze unchecked. I daydream of murderous payback and gratuitous malice. In my head, I plan out how to obtain a fake ID from China, how to purchase weapons with cash in red state pawn shops, even where to park my car as I scamper up to the house of my high school nemesis in my ninja suit, my Uzi in hand, and knock on his door... The vividness of my fantasies excites me, but do I act on them? No. Worse yet, those fantasies only inflame my anger, which steals away my smile and makes me charmless once again.

You Can Tell A Psychopath By How He Talks
Here are the five top tip-offs (along with my annotations):
1) They use words to suggest that their actions "had a logical cause and effect" that justified their goals. Words like "because" and "so that". Authority figures talk like that, especially politicians and business leaders, and it always sounds like they are excusing their actions simply by aggrandizing their own intellectual acumen. But then again narcissism is a trait of psychopaths, too.
2) They enjoy talking about the simple pleasures of life - the tangible things, especially food, as in what they had for dinner last night. I never thought a psychopath might talk like a foodie, but there you have it. The articles suggest that the discussion of food reflects their predatory nature. They talk about drinking and money, too - and also, presumably, sex. Folks like that could come across like any down-to-earth and unpretentious regular guy - or even just your garden variety suburban materialist. I bet they also like to talk about cars, iPhone apps, and mutual funds.
3) They tend to hem and haw, apparently in their attempts to disguise the truth about themselves. This one sounds like a sure give-away for a liar all right, but aren't psychopaths supposed to be smoother than that? Identifying people notorious for their powers of verbal manipulation by their inarticulateness seems counterintuitive. Convicted murderers may talk like that more because of their lack of education than for any other reason. Higher end psychopaths might hem and haw a little less, or a little better.
4) They don't like to talk about touchy-feely stuff like religion and family and moral values - anything that might trigger shame or guilt. I can see that. But isn't one of the rules of polite conversation that one should never talk about "religion or politics"? If so, how could one tell the difference between a psychopath and that suave fellow at the dinner party you attended last week who talked charmingly (if only) about horses, Jaguars and fine wine? And isn't the expulsion of anything resembling empathy from one's conversation the hallmark of a hard-headed pragmatist? Again we swing back to the businessman, the rationalist, the unsentimental alpha male.
5) They talk in the past tense a lot, explaining what they did (or what they want you to think they did) in a fait accompli kind of way. Certain former bosses of mine used to talk like that - emphasizing what was done, rather than was being done or what could be done, as though they wanted to assure you that you couldn't change any of it - and that you couldn't make them change it either. The article said this effect suggested "detachment", but I'd like to think it represents the desire of the speaker to strip control from the person they're talking to.

The Robin Hood Delusion
Ultimately, it is impossible to imagine some dude committing larceny for the greater good, and remaining charismatic in the process. Charisma, among thieves, is notoriously the sign of a sociopath, and sociopaths care for no one but themselves. Uncharismatic dudes who steal for The People evoke instead the specter of a socialist bureaucracy, and we can't have that either. Especially not nowadays. If anything, we cling to the myth of the inner goodness of the charismatic thief. He is, if nothing else, attractive. Tycoons, moguls and other persons of impossibly inflated wealth invariably imagine themselves to have come from "humble beginnings" - even if their Dads were law partners or something. Anything would seem humble compared to their multi-billionaire status. And, because they enrich others beside themselves - even if these others are their equally rich cronies or majority shareholders who share the same delusion of "humble beginnings" - they imagine themselves to actually be sharing what they steal. Because they can never really feel rich enough, they delude themselves into the role of a valiant and resourceful poor man reaping lucre from some faceless moneyed multitude. And they love that image, too - Robin Hood-ism is the icing on their cake. In this sense, we are all like these dudes. If you're a used car salesmen or a crooked building contractor with a wife and three kids, you can justify every lie you tell or corner you cut or palm you grease as your own little way of robbing from the rich and giving to the poor.
This is the Robin Hoodian dichotomy - you and your own, oppressed as you are even if only by your own human imperfection and mortality, are "The Poor", and "The Rich" are simply the rest of the world. Everyone else, to wit. Be you a mafioso, some Old West outlaw or even Whitey freakin' Bulger, that's what you think you are. A righteous avenger against what may be nothing more than the human condition. That is another hallmark of the sociopath - not just charm, but the sureness that one is being persecuted, or put upon or misunderstood.
Robin Hood may be nothing more than the projection of a pathology, the embodiment of how sociopaths see themselves - not what they really are or could ever be. They say that mental institutions are full of people who believe they are Jesus or Napoleon. I suspect there are also more than a few who see themselves as Robin Hood. Maybe Robin Hood is really just the front man for a syndrome that belongs in the next Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. But then again, the top dudes in psychiatry recently de-pathologized Narcissism (probably because of its embarrassing prevalence among their own) - so good luck with getting Robin Hood-ism on the books. There are lots of powerful people out there with a vested interest in seeing themselves as plucky underdogs.

Mayhem At Musto's
My remarks are as follows:
1) The robbery took place in a part of Woburn called Four Corners, where Lexington Street not only intersects with Route 3, but splits in two at the same time, spawning another road called Russell Street. For this and other reasons, this intersection can be a bitch to drive through, particularly if you're coming from the west along Lexington Street and want to turn left onto Route 3. I used to have to do that all the time during my daily commute a few years ago. Always made me afraid of being broadsided. Only idiot criminals would choose to stage a heist where the traffic patterns are so fucked-up.
2) As NECN notes, jewelry store robberies are part of an "alarming trend", in which miscreants are going for the gold rather than settling for mere cash, as gold prices have skyrocketed during The Great Recession. Yet again does "the economy" shape crime.
3) What idiot with a tattoo distinctive enough to be identified by it would commit a robbery without covering up his trademark? Jeez - grow a brain, amigo!
4) The perps were Hispanic, as they tend to be more and more these days, in keeping with their increasing demographic presence in Greater Boston. This is perhaps another "alarming trend" that does not get mentioned as it would not be politically correct to do so.
5) As always, it is exciting to learn of crimes committed on the grounds of one's old haunts. I'm just glad I wasn't driving through at the time, as all the confusion would have made that freakin' intersection worse than ever. Especially since I also drive a '98 Toyota.

Anybody Wanna Buy The Head Of A Banker?
When he was done, I followed him out of the bar. He was a slight guy, maybe about five-eight and a hundred and thirty pounds, but he was swaying like a flagpole in a strong wind. I maneuvered him into the alley by repeatedly accosting him with the question, "You got any change?" Once he was diverted, I bopped around him from the other side and accosted him again. I was sort of like a Border Collie nipping at the shins of a sheep to guide it into a pen. Once I got him into the alley, I withdrew my Stanley box-cutter, cried, "Downsize this!" and before he knew it, his head was lying on the pavement. During the kill, I made sure to wear a pair of my gun moll's latex gloves, which she uses to clean the cat box, so I wouldn't leave any prints behind. But I did take the head. I put it into a gym bag and took it home. Now it's in a freezer in my basement (next to the safe).
What am I going to do with the head of some junior investment banker? Good question... Actually, I thought I'd sell it. I read an article (at the link below) about that perverted German scientist, Gunther von Hagens, who plasticizes human cadavers. At first, he did it out of scientific curiosity, and then for art's sake - and, now, apparently, he's doing it for profit. According to the article, he "plans to sell bodies for some $97,000, torsos for $79,000 and human heads for $31,000." And he's going to do this through some kind of e-commerce website. Well, more power to him. I think I will do the same.
How much would a plasticized banker head go for? Consider the magnificent brains they once contained. Not to mention their expensive coiffures. I think $40,000 would be a good starting price. I wouldn't even need my own website. I could do it all through eBay. If my startup does well, maybe I could present a business plan to some other bankers and they could wangle me some venture capital. Hell, some of them might even become my customers.
Seriously, though. I didn't really decapitate a banker. I have utmost respect for such shining exemplars of our glorious meritocracy. I would only sell facsimile banker heads instead.
(P.S.: Do you think it's a coincidence that the makers of Breaking Bad blew off Gus Fring's face just three weeks before Halloween? It would make a great mask. I'll have to google "gus fring masks" to see if any are already available.)

Gloomy Gus
In the scene shown above, Gus Fring has managed to step away from a bomb that has just killed his right-hand thug and an old nemesis from his Mexican drug cartel days who has been for years incapacitated by a stroke. Fring, who has been shrewd to the point of clairvoyance throughout the entire series, has never been out-foxed until now. He seems in denial as much about this as about his imminent death. He nattily adjusts his tie, either because he thinks (for a moment) that he can return to business as usual - or because he imagines (laughably) that he'll be able to leave behind a beautiful corpse if he just neatens up a bit.
I have no idea how long a person can survive with so much of his face blown away, but I hope I never have to find out. I would guess that your system would go into shock almost immediately and you wouldn't feel much pain. That is, until you looked in a mirror. My gun moll, a theater person who once designed gory prosthetics for a Marine exercise at Camp Lejeune, claims she watched the episode two more times after I went to bed - just to admire the "no-face" make-up on poor old Gus. I ain't the only one in the family with a screw loose, let me tell ya.

Steve Jobs And The Erosion Of Situational Awareness
Last week I blogged about the science of being streetwise, which boils down to something called "situational awareness". I first encountered this term in a discussion about the differences between Nerds and Jocks. The author had observed that Nerds tended to be focused on their own private worlds, and were often clueless about changes in either their physical or their social environment. Jocks, on the other hand, were always on guard for a ball to catch, a girl to impress, a rival to overtake or a dollar to be made. That is "situational awareness", and it seems to be the main advantage of those guys so annoyingly classed by the pick-up gurus as "alpha males". It allows would-be entrepreneurs to sense "opportunity", athletes to score, and soldiers and policemen to do their jobs. Even if you're a nondescript pedestrian, situational awareness will keep you from getting mugged or run over or even just from falling into an open manhole. I prefer to think that I'm like that.
Most people, these days, aren't. One reason I don't feel a need to buy an Apple product is because I see them everywhere. Their utter ubiquity precludes any curiosity I might have had about them. On the T, on the streets - all around me I see people with iPods plugged into their ears, reading things on their iPads, clamping their iPhones to their faces - or, more often than not - just checking their email on the damn things with flicks of their soft little fingers or diddling with some infantile computer game. And I see them doing all this while they are dodging traffic, stumbling down alleyways and shuffling past shady-looking strangers (like, indeed, me). A lot of these folks are young, I know, and I've heard it said that the youngest among us are better at multi-tasking. But anyone should be able to do any task better if they pay full attention to that task while they're doing it. Instead, the young have turned themselves into an entire generation of blinkered Nerds.
A few weeks ago a young woman was assaulted at an inner city Orange Line station. Apparently, she was strolling along fiddling with some electronic device, and some dude came up on her and... You can imagine the rest. The news team reporting this item put a damper on their happy talk for a moment to warn the public about Paying Attention To Their Surroundings. Especially after dark, if you're a nubile young lady, in not the best of Boston neighborhoods. At least she wasn't driving - another venue where "situational awareness" has been eroded right and left by a biblical plague of electronic devices.
Violent crime is not as bad these days as it had sometimes been in previous decades, so sacrificing vigilance to the pleasure of being perpetually wired may not be as costly as it could be. But times change, and eventually the need for vigilance will return. All those people with their precious senses glued to their Jobs-ian iProducts, barely aware of where they're going - much less of what might stand in their way - will suddenly become vulnerable again. Their plight will give new meaning to the phrase "Electric Sheep" as a horde of unplugged-in wolves descends on them.

Abbott Comeback Inspiration
"I've just had an absolutely ball-tearing idea" announced Bill
"Please tell me" said Albo "it's not the one about teaching kids to eat fast food slowly so they don't gain weight as quickly"
"No" responded Bill "it's even more ingenious than that. It's time for action to fix my slump in the polls. It was caused by Malcolm dumping Tony so we've got to reverse that process and somehow get Tony reinstated. From now on I propose to refer to Malcolm as Tony Abbott. Then I can resume my highly effective trashing of Tony and watch my numbers soar again in the preferred prime minister polling"
"Forget it Bill" said Albo "people will just think you don't know who you're talking about"
"But there's no difference between the two of them" said Bill "Malcolm's retaining all Tony's policies while at the same time getting credit for being a breath of fresh air and driving my poll numbers down as low as Julia's were when I was forced to stab her"
"Now take a deep breath Bill" said Albo soothingly "I wouldn't want you to think I'm being unreasonably negative but I'd put your idea in the same category as the Malaysia Solution"
"Well I still think it's a brilliant idea' said Bill "because it would convince the public that Tony and Malcom are as alike as a flat white and a cappuccino"
"Malcolm and Tony come from different planets" said Albo "Malcolm's aim is to turn the Coalition into a sensible popular government like the Labor Party would be without the unions"
"He's pinching my pet policy" said Bill
"The only chance of a union-free Labor Party during a Shorten prime ministership" said Albo "is an operation to change your mind in a brain-transplant unit"
"I remain very confident" said Bill "that I could put down a resurgent Malcolm by resuming my anti-Abbott rhetoric describing him as a climate change denier, a misogynist, an enemy of working families, a liar, a closet work choices fanatic and a dangerous right-wing radical"
"If you started referring to Malcolm as Tony Abbott" said Albo "not only would you be forced to undergo tests for dementia but people would also start urging you to take advantage of the latest special offers from Specsavers"

2000 Recaps
DaveE*, Joe, Mike, Cal, MattK, Dale
We started out the night with a spirited game of Junta. In this game, you try to help rule some teeny banana republic (with all of the political intrigue associated with it) – with the end goal being putting the most money (out of the national budget which is itself from foreign aid) into your own personal Swiss bank account. After a quick summary of the rules, we were underway. DaveE managed to get assassinated in the first round – more by dumb luck than anything else – and this set the tone for the entire game. Virtually each round, someone was assassinated and a coup was attempted to overthrow the government. DaveE did have one streak of being president for 3 or 4 consecutive turns which allowed him to put many many dollars in the bank. In the end, he was clearly ahead of the rest of us. Overall, the game was greatly entertaining – however, in the future, I think the game would be better served by speeding it up (by doling out more money per turn) – our game went 4 hours!
Joe*, Cal, Dale, DaveE
We then turned to the great beer and pretzels game of WizWar. This game is a little like Magic the Gathering played on a board. Each of the players are wizards and you try to either collect two of your opponent's treasures or to just destroy the other wizards (via spells/attacks that you play on your turn). We were playing with both expansions in the deck. As it turned out, Joe drew the "Public Funds" card which made all treasures ownerless – thus he was able to bring his own treasure back to his home space to win the game. Eventhough he had to show us that he had this card, we basically forgot about it until it was too late and Joe basically stole the game from under us!
Joe*, Cal, Dale, DaveE
Once again, we pulled out this little gem for some struggles between the Roses and the Eagles. Joe and Cal had never played before, so we had to quickly go over the rules so that everyone could start on equal ground. Though a newbie to the game, Joe quickly took control of the game by being on the winning side of the first 6 battles (out of 8). He was so far ahead of the rest of us by the end of the game that it wasn't even funny.
Dale*, Cal, Joe, DaveE
Despite the late hour (about 3:15 AM), we plunged into one more game of Verrater. As we had just finished a game of Verrater, this one went quickly. Most of the group was rather tired at this time, and it proved to be very difficult to think straight while choosing the action cards and playing supply cards in battle. At the end of this exhausting night, Dale ended up on top of the last game – though no one could explain why. After 9 hours of gaming, we decided to call it a night – but not before tentatively agreeing to get together next weekend!

First Poetry Jukebox in New York
Poetry jukebox is just what it sounds like: a jukebox with poetry. In honor of Allen Ginsberg's 90th birthday anniversary, the New York poetry jukebox will play a selection of 20 beat generation poems by Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, Gregory Corso, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, and others.
The opening of the first American poetry jukebox on June 3 was the part of the HOWL! festival organized by Bowery Poetry Club. Through the poetry jukebox, which will be installed right in front of the Bowery Poetry Club, at the corner of CBGB, you can also listen to a poem by Patti Smith, a little tribute to the former music club CBGB.
This form of sound art installation is getting increasingly more popular. It is now possible to listen to the original voices of poets in several cities in the Czech Republic, but also in Russia, Ukraine (antiwar poetry) and The United Kingdom (young contemporary European poets) and even in Italy, where it has been a part of the contemporary art exhibition in Venice – Architecture Bienalle. Other cities, that are awaiting their own poetry jukebox is Berlin, Lodz and Brussels in the coming year.

"Jason X" would make the hundreds of straight to video, horror films proud. After all, it belongs in that category and not many in it get the privilege of being seen on the big screen. If it were not for the fact that this film carries with it an icon monster, it never would have made it so far.
Knowing what kind of audiences that this film would bring in they try their best to please. There are many very creative and demented ways for the innocent to die in this film as well as Jason, who seems to die many times only to rise again. As well as violence and gore this film also fills its quota of sex and language including a somewhat humorous affair involving a boy and his robot. Actually the entire film is quite humorous. Mostly just because of the fact that it thinks it is actually scary.
As a Christian, or any intelligent person, this film should not surprise you. "Jason X" was advertised to be what it is. Another poorly made horror film to follow up in a series that started without Jason as a killer at all. In fact, he was hardly in the original "Friday the 13th" and every film since that one has just been an exploitative scheme to make more money.
There is no moral content in all of this film and it doesn't even have the star power to attract audiences like past bombs such as "Halloween H20" did.
If watching a scary movie is your idea of fun, I suggest renting an old classic instead. Or go see "Frailty" which at least has some thought provoking matters. For all of you that enjoy Jason, cross your fingers because Freddy vs. Jason has been waiting for the green light and depending on the gross of "Jason X", it could get it in the not too distant future. God save us all.

Patino Furniture that can Save Space in your Balcony
There were numerous space saving designs here on Freshome, but this time here is something that we didn't covered until now. Designer Sandy Lam created a design that is not only useful because it saves space, it is also completely hidden with zero space invasion while not in use. The purpose of this design is to increase the functionality of balconies and to enhance the concrete city look. This system will help to maximize condo living space because residents can extend their indoor living into the outdoor. Even when fully assembled, the hide-away system is a minimalist lover's delight. The design is also flexible to its owner. If you were to move away, you can take the hide-away furniture with you and place it in the next balcony or living room. Here you can see with this design, that is simply called Spaceless below, and at the end a video with the design in action. Enjoy ! – Via – Yankodesign

A few hits have come out of The G.O.O.D. Music family such as Cruel from the album Cruel Summer which includes Big Sean, Jay-Z and Kanye West's Clique and "I Don't Like" the remix by Chief Keef's.
However, these were not the only rappers who offered there flows on the tracks. In an interview with Tim Westwood, Big Sean said "Grade A" rappers laid 16 bars to the songs but Kanye didn't select them for the final cut.
"What happened on 'Don't Like' is I got to it last. They didn't even want me on the song and I heard it and was like, 'Let me get a verse on this song,'" he said. "But look. There was other peple who did verses for that and they didn't keep that shit but they kept mine. I can't tell you [who]. A lot of people had verses to 'Clique' though. They were real legit verses, didn't make it. Real grade-A rappers. Didn't make it. Just me, 'Ye and Jay-Z."
Big Sean earlier expressed interest in partnering with Eminem to put together a track on his sophomore album Hall of Fame: Memoirs of a Detroit Player, and says that it's a possibility since Em extended an invitation for them to vibe in the studio.
"Let me tell you something. Em reached out to me and was like, 'Come to the studio, come hang out when you get a chance.' We gon' make that happen. He's the legend right there," he said.

eq? tables Marc Feeley 26 Apr 2005 14:04 UTC
Tables where the key comparison procedure is eq? are very useful for attaching information to objects. Since eq? tables are fundamental (in the sense that they are impossible to implement efficiently in R5RS), I expected SRFI-69 to support them. At the very least SRFI-69 should provide a hash procedure that is consistent with eq?. Marc

As an occupier of this mixed-use development – SKV own two units of the ground floor offices – how can I not nominate this, my place of work?
SKV have been here for over 4 years now, and every day when I arrive I love to see the tessellated forms of the apartment balconies, the quirky white canopy roof and the huge floor to window glass plates. Even the grey colouring looks stylish. There's something satisfyingly European about the whole look and feel of the building.
And I'm glad to report that the experience of working in the spacious office suites is very satisfying – clients are always impressed and the staff happy. Abito gets my vote.

Nūz: Santa Cruz County News Briefs
Cyclists ask for a sign on Mission Street; Ecology Action launches its green clearinghouse site and Santa Cruz's first Green Drinks party is a hit.
No Sign of Help
Galvanized by the April 8 death of cyclist Christopher Rock at the intersection of Mission and Bay streets, local bike activists are pedaling over the paperwork and installing safety signs on their own. Last week members of People Power and others printed out and put up 200 homemade signs reading "Bicycles allowed use of full lane: 21202," a reference to the article of the California Vehicle Code granting bicycles the right to ride in the center of the lane.
The signs were all over Mission Street last week, though by now they've mostly disappeared, except for a few remaining as memorials. Meanwhile, members of People Power and other bike activists continue to lobby the City Council for official signage indicating same.
The trouble is, the city can't do much to help them.
The City Council is on the side of the cyclists, but councilmembers' ability to get things done on Mission Street, like erecting signs, is limited because they don't have jurisdiction over it. Because it's technically a stretch of Highway 1, Mission Street falls under the aegis of the state Department of Transportation (DOT).
Further complicating matters is the fact that Mission Street is a commercial district, meaning it's illegal to ride on the sidewalk. That leaves cyclists stuck going it on the street--typically in some ill-defined region between the edge of the right-hand lane and the gutter.
Last October, following the death of Pacific Collegiate School instructor John Myslin, also at the Mission/Bay intersection, then-Mayor Emily Reilly wrote a letter to DOT district director Richard Krumholz and asked him to take eight steps toward making Mission Street safer for bicycle and foot traffic. The steps included adding additional "share the road" signs and notification that "bikes may use full lane."
It sounds like a simple enough order to Nu_z, but it seems red tape has jammed the works. In his letter, Krumholz wrote that, according to the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD), there could be no signs proclaiming the right of cyclists to use the entire lane because "bicycle and pedestrian-only zone" signs have not been adopted as a standard sign by the CA MUTCD.
Councilmember Mike Rotkin calls this a typical Caltrans response.
"To use a highly technical term, it's bullshit," said Rotkin over the phone. "The Caltrans position that it cannot be done is just not true."
Rotkin then listed a number of things on Mission Street that do not comply with the CA MUTCD, such as crosswalks that sit in the middle of the street and pedestrian warning signs. He said situations like this are always a battle.
Many in the community are saying the two deaths of the last six months were a sad inevitability. Ron Goodman works with People Power and has been involved with the Mission Street effort for a long time. In the late '90s he was on the Mission Street Widening Task Force, an advisory body to the Santa Cruz City Council, which was working with the DOT. The state was widening Mission Street, and Goodman, along with others, wanted bike lanes, but there wasn't enough space. To put in a bike lane would have meant removing Sylvan Music and several houses, or removing car lanes. Neither of those options went through and the bike lane was never created.
"The pressure to have more capacity was overwhelming," recalls Goodman. "We tried real hard to get that bike lane and warned that without bike lanes bicyclists would die in Mission Street, and unfortunately those warnings have come true."
However, many people have said that riding a bike in Mission Street traffic is suicidally dangerous because it's not only a street, it's a highway, and it's illegal to ride on the sidewalk. Goodman has responded to them by saying that while Mission Street is still dangerous, it's an important street, and people who don't use cars have to use it in order to get to, say, the bicycle stores that line Mission Street.
"The problem that people don't understand is that Mission Street is a major destination with businesses, jobs and schools. Just to make an analogy, Highway 17 is the most dangerous highway in California," he said. "But nobody would suggest banning cars on it for this reason."

Change A-Brewing
These days, any lecture attempting to predict the future of our planet is going to have a few painful moments. Whether the topic is climate change, strained natural resources or crashing biodiversity, the temptation to gobble up the nearest pain-relieving drug remains a constant. The oldest pain-reliever is, of course, booze, and in public settings it's the most acceptable drug to throw down the gullet. Lucky for Santa Cruzans, easing the pain of environmental destruction with a tall mug of beer or a sparkly glass of wine is now a regularly scheduled event.
Green Drinks is an idea that initially blossomed in 1989 in London but has since spread to 342 cities across five continents. Elizabeth Thompson, a climate specialist with Ecology Action, had her first Green Drinks experience in Berkeley last year when she was working as a documentary filmmaker. She was happy to toss one back at the local pub with professionals on the cutting edge of the green tech revolution, but by the time she made it down to Santa Cruz last year she'd decided there was a need to expand the concept beyond simply raising a toast to other environmentalists. There needed to be some education and practical advice on how to effect positive change.
"Initially I thought maybe we could gather at a local bar," remembers Thompson. "But then I had the idea to take it a step further and make it more active. I thought, 'Why not take it from a passive drinking experience to a more dynamic experience?' It can become a spinoff to further activism."
The fruit of Thompson's idea was visible last Friday afternoon as the Soquel Avenue sustainability shop Greenspace filled with over 60 slightly toasted city officials and environmental activists (Nu_z left before they got really drunk). On the stage was Mayor Ryan Coonerty, local permaculturist and business owner Ken Foster, Moss Landing Marine Laboratory marine biologist Stacy Kim and local author Chuck Tremper. The group was discussing Tremper's new book, As the Oceans Rise. The book delves into the history and science of emerging climate change solutions, including some from our very own back yard.
Coonerty, who was featured in the book, was more than happy to knock a few back and chat about Santa Cruz's role in transitioning to a more climate-friendly society. For Coonerty, who also heads up the yuppie group Santa Cruz Next, which co-sponsored the event, meeting up for drinks isn't just a way to dull the pain; it's also a practical way to come up with grassroots-based solutions.
"Not only is it great to have people come together and share these innovative ideas, but it's a way to bring together people who wouldn't normally meet each other to address such a pressing issue," said Coonerty, fixing himself a snack. "Really, that's the only way we're going to solve it."
Indeed, the Green Drinks idea sets itself apart from the usual civic- or business-oriented mixer by being explicitly about making connections between different spokes of the environmental movement--the researchers, policymakers and average citizens praying for change. As Thompson notes, there is also a generation gap within the local environmentalist movement that needs bridging. She's hoping Green Drinks can lay down the foundations.
"We really need a dialogue between the older hippie environmentalists and the younger environmentalists," says Thompson. "They have very different perspectives."
GREEN DRINKS takes place next on May 23 at Greenspace, 1122 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. A panel of green business entrepreneurs will be addressing the role of economics in the environmental movement and the question of local vs. green products.
One-Stop Browsing
Thank Gaia! Well-meaning citizens who can't decide whether they should spend their Saturday afternoon cleaning up the mess in their local river, learning how to distill biodiesel or planting a row of trees can now look to an easy, one-stop website for help. Ecocruz.org offers budding greenies a rational way to divvy up their time and money among the long list of nonprofit environmental groups and "green" businesses offering their services in Santa Cruz County.
The idea started back in November of 2006, when the folks at Ecology Action noticed there were a lot of nonprofit environmental groups within the county that were either offering overlapping services or were duplicating efforts. In a flash of inspiration, the nonprofit group decided to call together a Collaboration Summit, at which over 80 environmental groups agreed to buddy up, increase communication and present a unified front to the public through a website. A year and a half later, the digital seed planted at the summit has finally blossomed.
Ecocruz.org allows greenies to scan a calendar of all environmental events, see what fresh news has come out of local environmental groups, determine where their volunteer time would best be spent and decide which business deserves their greenbacks.
As if this wasn't enough, plans are also under way to allow environmental groups featured on the website to trade volunteers, program activities and other information to ensure efforts are not being duplicated and citizens looking for volunteer opportunities are not left idle. Being green was never so easy.
The website will be having its coming-out party at the Earth Day Santa Cruz festival, an event that has been revitalized this year through a partnership of the city of Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz County, Ecology Action and Save Our Shores. The official launch of the website will share the festival stage with an array of live entertainment acts, a selection of delicious food options and a plethora of environmentally themed educational booths.
EARTH DAY SANTA CRUZ is Sunday, April 27, 11am-4pm, at the corner of Lincoln and Cedar streets in downtown Santa Cruz.

Update on Karl Urban Q & A - Legal Issues
Alas, things sometimes don't turn out as we want them to..
We were under the distinct impression that we had permission to run the entire Karl Urban question and answer session, but were contacted and requested to remove it for legal reasons (both on our end, and in lieu of Karl's contract with New Line). We will continue to try and get permission to broadcast this full hour of fan interaction with Karl Urban--it's quite good!

Vision correction is a general term used to describe a variety of optometric techniques for correcting less-than-perfect vision. For your convenience, we have included a brief description of some of the most common vision correction procedures offered at River Region Vision Source in Millbrook. For more specific information about lenses and frames or contacts, please visit their respective pages.
NightLens Orthokeratology
Orthokeratology is a procedure for correcting your vision by gently reshaping the cornea with special corneal molds called NightLenses, which the patient places in his or her eyes overnight. Remove your NightLenses in the morning and experience clear vision without contacts, glasses, or surgery.
When successful, patients will experience clear vision during the day without contact lenses or eyeglasses. OrthoK has been studied to slow down or even stop the progression of nearsightedness via myopia control!
Visit www.sleepandsee.net for more information and call today and schedule a FREE CONSULTATION with Dr. Bryan Holman.
Vision Therapy/Vision Training
Vision Therapy is a series of treatment procedures prescribed by optometrists to improve certain types of vision problems that cannot be helped with only glasses or contact lenses. Vision Therapy can help a wide range of vision problems, such as: eyeturns, focusing problems, and amblyopia. Many kids with ADD/ADHD and dyslexia have issues with visual-auditory integrations; these problems can be helped with Vision Therapy. Vision is more than just 20/20!
Call today to schedule an evaluation with Dr. Amy Howell to see if your child may be suffering from under-developed visual skills. Learn more at www.littleeyescenter.com
LASIK (Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis) is a surgical procedure that uses a laser beam to reshape the cornea. Patients who are nearsighted, farsighted or astigmatic may benefit from this type of procedure.
While millions of patients have seen successful results from LASIK, the procedure is not right for everyone. Your optometrist will need to thoroughly examine your eyes to determine which type of vision correction best fits your needs.
River Region Vision Source has the experience and equipment necessary to provide treatment, consultation and referrals for the vision correction procedures and surgeries detailed above at our office in Millbrook. Schedule an appointment with your eye care provider, and we will be in touch with you shortly.

I will 'snatch' Nadowli/Kaleo seat from NDC — Bipuah
Mr Inusah Bipuah, a 43-year-old engineer who is vying for the vacant First Vice Chairman position of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has said that he will ensure that the party wins the Nadowli-Kaleo seat in the next election if he is elected.
"I will also work with the elected constituency and regional executive to grab the Nadowli-Kaleo seat in particular and launch an 'operation sweep all seats' in the UWR campaign".
In an interview in Wa, after a campaign tour last Wednesday, he said he was sure that the people would make a good choice if they voted for him.
National executives
The First Vice Chairmanship position became vacant following the decision of Mr Hafiz Bin Salih not to contest for the UWR Chairmanship position. Mr Bipuah is in contention with three others — Mr Alhassan Sulemana, Mr Lawrence Yiryel and Mr Aziz Abdul Rahaman.

Mr Bipuah further assured the President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo-Addo, and the national executive of the NPP that when he wins the race, they should forget about any campaign activity in the UWR and concentrate on the Volta Region for votes. "From a margin of zero, we succeeded in grabbing five parliamentary seats from the NDC which had all along held the entire 11 parliamentary seats, namely the Lawra, Nandom, Wa-East, Sissala East and West constituencies," he said.
Constitutional rule
He said the NDC had since the reintroduction of constitutional rule and the birth of the Fourth Republican Parliament in 1992 maintained the Nadowli-Kaleo Constituency seat, which had remained its stronghold, with Mr Alban Kinsford Bagbin as the MP.
He was surprised that after 25 years of his uninterrupted tenure as the MP for the area, the Nadowli-Kaleo Constituency, which doubled as one of the oldest in the UWR, was way behind most of the newly created districts in terms of availability of social amenities and infrastructural facilities.
"The fortunes of the NPP are enhanced in the region by the new leadership it now has and with the motto: 'Development In Freedom', the party is battle ready for election 2020," he said.
He said as a member of the party since 1992, with his vast experience and ideas, if elected to join the next executive, they would impart their words of wisdom into the party and electorate for the enrichment of lives.

What is it that can cause a person to be hateful... Is it the lack of confidence in themselves? What could make one person be so cruel to another that they cause them to break down? Who do these people think they are to be treating another human being with so much disrespect? I'm not a violent person, but I do believe some people seriously need to be bitch slapped!
We are all human beings... body, mind, and soul. We come equipped with a brain and emotions. USE THEM PEOPLE!!


text: The federal Energy Department's controversial plan to transport 474 spent nuclear fuel rods from Taiwan to South Carolina over the next two years is running behind schedule because of opposition from West Coast ports, officials say. Officials at Long Beach, Los Angeles and Seattle-Tacoma have refused to let the nuclear waste move through their ports. The Inland Waters Coalition in Washington state has filed suit in U.S. District Court in Tacoma to block the shipments until the Energy Department prepares an environmental impact report dealing with numerous safety issues that have been raised by opponents. The Energy Department had hoped to have the first shipment at its Savannah River nuclear processing plant in South Carolina by the end of March, spokesman Jim Garver said. However, it would take about two weeks for the material to be shipped to the West Coast and another week to be trucked across country.

Awakening Times, January 2017 Edition carries article on Baba Ganeshananda Giri written by Brahmarishi Mohanji
One who has mastered his mind is a true master. Here is an incarnation of supreme devotion and ultimate faith in his Guru. He walked the earth as a living example of selflessness. He left us the hope, faith and promise that the tradition of liberation always delivers
It was sometime in mid-2015, when Phaneendhar, an ardent Sai Baba devotee and my long-time follower, showed me a picture on his phone and said to me "This is Baba Ganeshananda Giri; he has lived with Shirdi Sai Baba as a young boy. A genuine master deeply connected to Shirdi Sai Baba. You should meet him." I was intrigued at the fact that someone who lived with Sai Baba is still in his body, but was not sure when the trip to Shirdi would materialize. I told Phaneendhar, "Check the schedule and fix the trip. We shall go – you and I."
However providence had other plans. In mid-December 2015, the Shirdi Sai Temple of Palakkad in Kerala, decided to make a documentary in Malayalam about the life and times of Shirdi Sai Baba. Sunil Nair, the producer of this documentary, a close friend and a long-time associate, suggested to me that I be part of this project. Anything related to Shirdi Sai Baba is always my first priority. I agreed to go to Shirdi and they decided to start the production schedule without further delay. Just then, at the most opportune time, Phaneendhar texted me from Dubai suggesting once again that I should meet Baba Ganeshananda Giri as he was also in Shirdi at that point in time! He gave me Babaji's mobile number. I was under the impression that Baba Ganeshananda Giri would be having many disciples organizing his schedules and looking after him. When my disciple called, to her utter surprise, she got him on line directly. The moment he heard my name, he immediately said he wants to meet me right away! I felt truly blessed and overwhelmed. An instant connection happened even before our first meeting. None of us knew that he was admitted in ICU due to difficulties in breathing and doctors had strictly warned him not to move until perfect recovery.
He was suffering from breathlessness and was on medication, yet he suggested that my disciples could wait at Gurusthan for the meeting. Now, since he is a great Guru, everyone assumed that he would probably send one of his disciples to greet us and then lead us to him. The way the situation played out was quite unbelievable! We learnt that Baba Ganeshananda Giri, despite his medical condition, discharged himself from the Intensive Care Unit and came to the Gurusthan to meet us…

New decor
I haven't been doing any weaving or dyeing like I should be but have been busy dealing with the roving order and then yesterday we worked on getting the new valances from Country Curtains up in the bedroom and bathroom. We live in the woods so don't really need window coverings but I had been looking at these valances for a few years.....finally I ordered them and am wondering why I didn't do it sooner. They're so sheer they don't take away from the view of the trees at all. I love them. Today we'll work on getting valances up in the guest room/office - they aren't sheer like this but will match the wallpaper border and matching paint job below the chair rail border.
Yesterday was spent mattress shopping - ours wasn't very old but broke down way too quickly. I spent a lot of time laying on mattresses in the store - too many choices but we made the decision to buy a Stearns & Foster, I think it will do wonders for my back when it arrives in around 10 days. Since we were on a roll we bought a Sealy for the guest room bed - I laid on that bed last month, it's the worst bed ever and I'm embarrassed I ever let anyone sleep on it. In 10 days time our guests will be sleeping well too.
Today I'm hoping to make some blueberry jam if I have enough sugar......I thought I had an extra bag but the hummingbirds have been devouring it. Am hoping to spin up some roving samples of the new colorways. Need to get back to dyeing but it's so danged hot - might have to resort to getting out to the dyepots at daybreak and just work until late morning.

Country curtains has some beauties and those look perfect there! I'm curious if you tried out the Temperpedic type mattresses? Glad you found something that will be comfortable for your back!!ReplyDelete

Cindie, I too have long admired those exact curtains. We have always bought from Country Curtains and have used their curtains in every house we have owned. Love your bedroom window view, very pretty with all the trees.ReplyDeleteReplies
We've used Country Curtains in 4 houses now and I love them but I hadn't used them in this house because I hadn't put in any curtains, the house came with beautiful blinds that I only put down in the summer for a couple hours in certain rooms to keep the sun out. We put the Country Curtains sheer seashell/starfish curtains in the beach cottage - they make the house.Delete
Hey, I thought the bed was plenty comfy.ReplyDelete

New Bridlington Town boss Curtis Woodhouse has made his fifth new signing in a week.
The Seasiders have snapped up defender Lloyd Henderson, who had a brief spell with Scarborough Athletic last season.
Since then, Henderson has been turning out for Scarborough League side Edgehill and Scarborough Sunday League Division Two outfit Angel Athletic.
Woodhouse said on social media: "I saw him last year and he instantly went into my little black book.
"A young man who was at Scarborough last season and was really thought highly of by Bryan Hughes and Paul Foot, he's big strong quick and good on the ball, he will go into my squad for tomorrow's game.
"I'm happy enough with the squad now, nobody else will be coming in unless people decide to move on."
Woodhouse has already brought in midfielders Nick McNamara and Jamie Forrester, left back Jack Walters and goalkeeper Charlie Holden.

Market research consultancy IHS is predicting the German government's energy storage subsidy will do for battery storage what the FiT program did for PV uptake in the country.
IHS research manager Sam Wilkinson said: "The German energy storage subsidy is forecast to kick-start the adoption of solar PV energy storage systems in a similar way as its feed-in tariff system ignited the PV industry eight years ago."
Under the terms of the subsidy, householders installing a battery-based storage system as part of a new PV system up to 30 kW in size can take out a low-interest loan from German state bank KfW for 600/kW (US$790/kW) with a ceiling of 30% of the system costs.
But households hoping to take advantage of the subsidy this year may already be too late with 18.7 million of this year's 25 million funding already allocated and German solar industry association the Bundesverband Solarwirtschaft (BSW) reporting in addition to the 1,100 PV systems for which the subsidy has been approved, there are a further 4,800 applications awaiting approval.
When announcing details of the subsidy in April, the German government said it anticipates a further 25 million of KfW funding to be allocated next year.
IHS' Wilkinson says the popular subsidy, together with falling storage system costs and a decreasing FiT in tandem with rising conventional electricty prices add up to self consumption becoming the preferred option for homeowners rather than generating electricity for the grid in return for FiT payments.
With Japan offering a similar storage subsidy for lith-ion based residential systems and California subsidizing 'advanced energy storage' in systems up to 3 MW, IHS is predicting energy storage will be worth $9 billion in revenue by 2013.
The consultancy says residential systems will dominate the German energy storage market with 30 MW already supported by the subsidy since its launch four months ago.

At common law, as well as under modern statutory codes, the crime of homicide was (and is) divided into various component crimes. In addition to the crime of murder, the most serious crime, there are other crimes (e.g., voluntary manslaughter, involuntary manslaughter, etc.). This lesson provides an overview of the crime of murder by examining how that crime was handled under the common law, as well as how it is handled under the Model Penal Code, and other modern statutory approaches. Subsequent lessons will provide more detailed examination of these topics. This lesson is intended for students who have studied the crime of murder in class, and who wish to refine and enhance their knowledge and understanding of the topic.

Pastor Tanya Muzzarelli has been involved with Marengo's First Presbyterian Church under a pastoral support agreement with Westminster Presbyterian Church in Rockford for a little over a year. She officially contracted with the church in September to become their pastor.
"A couple of pastors at Westminster were coming here to preach but the position ended up being offered to me," said Pastor Tanya.
"Everyone here liked Tanya and she seemed to like us," said Steve Kannaka. "So we offered her the position."
Muzzarelli trained at Dubuque Seminary. Since she began with Marengo's First Presbyterian Church, the church is showing evidence of growth and new energy. "It takes time," she said. "We want to maintain the Presbyterian Church for the community."
"We enjoy it very much here," said Pastor Tanya of herself and her husband. "The people here are wonderful and down to earth. New people are joining. It's exciting. We have made a home here. We are here and committed. It's up to God now."
The Presbyterian Church offers their Stone Soup program on Tuesdays from noon to 6 p.m. This free meal offers at least two types of homemade soup and the donated breads, rolls, sandwiches, cookies, and more vary each week.
In this way, the church provides a place for the community, family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers to gather, spend time together, discuss neighborhood, work, or family topics, and enjoy each other's company. It is also a time when those in need of a hot meal can enjoy one at no cost. After school, kids can stop in for a snack or a meal. "It's an outreach into the community and a ministry," Pastor Tanya said.
"We have an after school program where the kids make crafts. Michelle Gallant teaches clay pottery for three weeks and then there is a break. Lately, we have made clay bust self-portraits and Christmas ornaments. The program is offered throughout the school year. Please call for information at 815-568-7441.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx "The church also runs the Presbyterian Thrift Shop, 119 S State St. which is open six days a week.
"We are also about to open a Sharing Center. People can call to make an appointment to receive food items. It will be similar to the M.O.R.E. Center, but less rigorous. It is planned as another outreach and ministry into the community."
"We just want people to know that our doors are open and we are serving the community," she said. "On Christmas Eve we will hold our Candlelight Service at 10:30 in the morning. The church is located at 203 W. Washington St.
"The First Presbyterian Church invites you to come. We have a place for you here."

So get ready for more exciting news - GTA V Redux, one of the most extensive overhauls in textures and effects that San Andreas has over gone, has come out, and can be downloaded from their website.

The other major addition to the GTA world that Rockstar have finally announced is the upcoming Bikers addition. They have been teasing the idea that players can form biker gangs of up to 8 members for some time now - so now you can start thinking of names for your Biker Gang (we call dibs on The Dragon Pirates).
