On our way to creating desired results in any significant area of our lives, many of us don't reach those ultimate goals. Why? I think the reason most of us fail to get what we want, is that we fail to complete the first unbreakable rule of getting what we want. That unbreakable rule is to clearly identify and describe in detail exactly what we want. That may seem like a very simple step, but it turns out to be the main obstacle standing in our way – failing to clearly and fully identify what we want. We may have an idea of what we want, or wish we could do, be, or accomplish something, but we fail to describe it all in detail. The funny thing is that we're pretty awesome at identifying what we don't want. Fortunately however, we can use truth as our guide. The truth is, where we focus our energy, is exactly where all our energy goes. So the cause effect relationship would be that what we focus on most – is also what we tend to create most in our lives.
Today, I want to focus in on this key area of what life coaching help with. That is, getting clear on and identifying exactly what we want in each significant area of our lives. Then once that is established, next we can we keep those goals in our focus as often as possible and thus we can concentrate on taking action towards their attainment.
Identify What You Want With These 10 Effective Questions
Can you be happy if you are wealthy but not healthy? Can you be happy if your job is fulfilling, but your spouse or significant others are always upset that you have little or no quality time together? An effective way to identify what you want is to ask yourself some effective questions.
Here are some simple questions that can help offer some balance. (You can customize them as you see fit.)
1) What is most important to me in my personal and family life?
2) What can I do to have an abundance of physical health and energy?
3) What are my short term and long term financial goals? What do I need to do to ensure I meet these goals and enjoy the process?
4) What is most important to me in relationships with my family and friends?
5) What is most important to me in my career and work life balance?
6) What is most important to me in my quality of life?
7) What skills do I need to master to increase the value I can contribute to the marketplace?
8) What is most important to me in my day-to-day living?
9) What obstacles stand between achieving each of my goals? What actions can I take to move past these obstacles and achieve my goals?

To Those Who Have no Time
Seeking for The Best Way To Use Our Energies
Carlos Cardoso Aveline
hile facing the tensions of daily life, we may feel we "have no time" to study sacred or philosophical topics and meditate upon them.
Whenever such an idea occurs, it is a safe indication that we must revise our list of priorities and stop losing undue amounts of time with issues whose real importance is scarce.
We know we are not immortals - at least from the point of view of physical life -, and wasting time with trivial or passing topics is tantamount to deluding ourselves with the idea that we will live for ever.
An old book of Jewish prayers makes a sober warning and reproduces a few sentences from Hillel, which deserve frequent examination:
"He who aggrandizes his name, loses his name; he who does not increase his knowledge, decreases it; he who does not seek to acquire wisdom, forfeits his life; and he who makes unworthy use of the crown of learning is wasting his powers. (…) If I am not for myself, who will be for me? Yet, if I am for myself only, what am I? And if not now, when?"
Elsewhere the book quotes these words from the same thinker:
"... And do not say, 'When I have leisure I will study'; you may never have the leisure."
Every minute lost is a minute gone for good.
One must take practical measures to create a habit of seeking for wisdom in daily life, while time is still available. Rabbi Tarphon said:
"The day is short, the work is much, the laborers are slothful, and the Master is urgent."
In order to make a wise use of time, one must remember it constitutes a natural resource of decisive importance. It is correct therefore to eliminate from our personal agenda any priorities which are in conflict with our main goal.
Roman philosopher Lucius Seneca wrote that life is not short, but it may seem to be not long enough if we lose too much time with topics of small importance. Indeed, one of the secrets to a good long walk is not to take too much luggage, and keep to the fundamentals.

Contrary to the right to education, the Education for All goals, and years of civil society campaigning — including that of RESULTS volunteers — to abolish school fees, the practice and acceptance of charging fees for primary school has crept back into the global education landscape. This trend has largely been driven by corporate providers, with some governments and donors now diverting funds towards fee-charging private schools rather than to quality improvements of free, public education systems.
In this context, the Global Campaign for Education (GCE) and its members, including RESULTS, are calling on governments to effectively and responsibly take up their roles as the primary duty-bearers in education. This week at the GCE World Assembly, a global event that saw the gathering of 190 education advocates from 91 countries gather in Johannesburg, the GCE movement passed a motion demanding governments to protect education from for-profit private companies, cease the channeling of public funds to private entities, and regulate private sector involvement in education.
The motion comes after mounting evidence that private schools, including those advertising themselves as low-fee and targeting the poor, are not reaching children of low-income families, not reaching out-of-school children, and, in many cases, not providing quality education — thereby not contributing to the global progress needed to achieve universal, quality education for all. Such evidence has been gathered and revealed by numerous efforts like the Privatisation in Education Research Initiative, various UN Committee review processes, actions taken at the World Human Rights Forum, and the most recent report of the UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Education.
The GCE World Assembly was also joined by Nobel Laureate Kailash Satyarthi and UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Education Dr. Kishore Singh.
In response to the expansion of fee-charging private schools, the GCE movement calls on governments to not rely on private providers to fulfill education obligations of the State:
GCE World Assembly Motion:
The Role of the State Regarding the Role of Private Actors and Providers
GCE further resolves and calls on States to take the following measures:
The GCE World Assembly was preceded by a Public Forum on the Right to Education and followed by a two-day Civil Society Education Fund Global Learning Event.

The Flowers of Italy
By Masaharu ANESAKI
Translated with an introduction by
Susanna FESSLER
Masaharu Anesaki (1873-1949) was a leading member of Japans most interesting generation: the second generation of Meiji scholars, who lived in a highly-educated if not rarefied world that blended Japanese and Western traditions in a way that made them unique in their countrys long history.
This neglected classic of travel writing, philosophy, history, and comparative religion has been out of print in Japan for nearly a century. Its publication in English translation will open a fascinating vista for scholars and general readers, into the mind of modern Japan — as it stood at the crossroads of modernity.

In their own words
Lock it up in Guantanamo!
"Climate Change Seen as Threat to U.S. Security" — Headline in New York Times, August 9.
User pays in danger?
"It's perhaps not the best in our system of democracy, where it means you can get better access to a minister if you can pay for it." — Robert Needham, head of Queensland's Crime and Misconduct Commission, planning to look into the practice of paying for time with politicians.
"I'm comfortable making use of all volunteers within the ALP." — Anthony Chisholm, secretary of the Queensland ALP. The "volunteers" were employees of lobbying firms assigned to help with the Labor state election campaign.
"We are very keen to talk to business and listen to what they have to say." — NSW Liberal Party director Mark Neeham, offering businesspeople the chance to meet with shadow ministers for $4000.
Only sober sailors need apply
"There's this assumption that everyone was like drunken sailors passing out money without regard to the consequences or without giving it any thought." — Robert A. Profusek, a lawyer with a firm representing major US banks, defending the payment of bonuses of more than $1 million to around 5000 bank executives and traders in 2008.
No one left to sack?
"The labour market, like the overall economy, is beginning to stabilise, with the expectation that job losses will approach zero by the end of the year." — The president of an economic advisory company, taking comfort from the fact that "only" 247,000 jobs were lost in the US in July.
Or take out to stop them saying it?
"'How many people do you bring in before the Afghans say, "You're acting like the Russians"?' said one senior military official, referring to the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan in the 1980s. 'That's the big debate going on in the headquarters right now.'" — Wall Street Journal, August 10.
No segregation in cemeteries
"Iraq has advanced the cause of full integration for women in the army by leaps and bounds." — Retired US Army Colonel Peter R. Mansoor.

AG: So I wanted to continue with (Walt) Whitman's children (one of them is in Russia, someone whom we'll pick up on later on (Velimir) Khlebnikov, the Futurist writer.
But before we get to Khlenbnikov, there's one other poem of Whitman's which I would like to add to our anthology). In one shortened form, there's about a five-line version of it in the regular Whitman books. Let's see if we can find that. I have it around here somewhere. Wait a minute.. It's called "Refusals", in my book, it's page 281 in a standard Whitman text - "Reversals", rather - "Let that which stood in front, go behind, let that which was behind advance to the front/ Let bigots, fools, unclean persons, offer new propositions!/ Let the old propositions be postponed!/ Let a man seek pleasure everywhere except in himself!/ Let a woman seek happiness everywhere except in her self!"
Well, that's a censored version of a big freak-out poem he wrote which he was so ashamed of (that) he didn't include in Leaves of Grass and (it) is only to be found in variant editions.
[to Student] - What's the edition you got it from? Can you give me the bibliographic?
Student: It's Riverside.
AG: Riverside what?
Student: Riverside Editions.
AG: What company and what year? - That's on the title-page you'll find it. I want the biblographic citation so people can get it if they want to look up the poem.
Student: Houghton Mifflin.
AG: Houghton Mifflin. What year? And what city?
Student: Boston..yeah..1959
AG: And what's the whole title?
Student: Complete Poetry and Selected Prose (by Walt Whitman) edited by James E.Miller
AG: James Miller. Okay. So this is the full version. Apparently, it's dated 1856-1876. I'm not sure where the text comes from or how it was first published - "Respondez" - Now the Whitman we've been reading so far has been a happy, healthy, affirmative, yeah-saying, expansive, sanguine, charming, balanced, even-tempered Whitman. This is Whitman freaking out
[Allen reads Whitman's poem, "Respondez" in its entirety] -
"Respondez! Respondez!/(The war is completed - the price is paid - the title is settled beyond recall!/Let every one answer! let those who sleep be waked! let none evade!/.."..""Let the limited years of life do nothing for the limitless years of death/ (What do you suppose death will do, then?)" -
So that was , I suppose, 18.. right after the war, the Civil War. But apparently he didn't feel that that was healthy. He didn't want to expose this in public. He didn't..
Student: I would guess, then, that that's probably in the "Drum Taps" edition..following the Civil War [1865 - incorporated in] the two-volume [1876] edition.. of Leaves of Grass.
AG: That would have..
Student: Yeah, there were two...
AG: Regular sized?
Student: I think so, yes. Two editions came out in two volumes... "Drum Taps"...
Student: (Did he read out loud at all?)
AG: Yes, he did. He read quite a bit and gave lectures.
Student: So it's possible that a poem like that could have been read right after the Civil War...
AG: Well, sure. [to Student] Could you check it in that book of yours where the provenance of that is? Does somebody know how to look it up in the book? Would there be any way of consulting the acknowlegements? (in the rear, generally, they sometimes have scholarly reference). You might look it up. If you can figure out where it came from. I'll try and...
Student: Whitman did quite a bit of that to Leaves of Grass?
AG: Yeah
Student: His editing days
AG: He was constantly changing it.
Student: Right.
AG: What I had originally here was called the 1890 edition. What I think we will do is I'll get this thing xeroxed up for everybody. It's a good addition to the Whitman canon, because it's one of his freak-out revelatory poems.
["Respondez!" originally appeared as "Poem of the Propositions of Nakedness" in the 1856 edition of Leaves of Grass. Lines 2 and 17-19 were added in 1871, the same year as Democratic Vistas. The poem appeared in all editions until 1881, when he eliminated it but transposed lines into the poems "Reversals" and "Transpositions".]
[Audio for the above can be heard here (starting at approximately nine-and-a-half minutes in - (Allen's reading of "Respondez" begins appproximately twelve-and-three-quarter minutes in) - through to approximately twenty-one-and three-quarter minutes in]

Lance Cpl. Darwin L. Judge, of Iowa, and Cpl. Charles McMahon Jr., of Massachusetts, were the last two men killed in Vietnam. They died on April 29, 1975, as Americans were evacuating Saigon.
They were guards at Tan Son Nhut Air Force Base as the North Vietnamese overtook Saigon. The base was hit by a mortar attack, killing the two men.
Ken Locke, a Warsaw resident, was a longtime friend of Judge's.
"He and I grew up together," Locke said. "Basically, we were Cub Scouts when we were 6 or 7 years old." They then became Eagle Scouts together, in Troop 310, in Marshalltown, Iowa, and went to high school together.
Judge was approximately a year older than Locke.
Locke remembers Judge came to the high school in his Marine Corps uniform one day. Because there were so many feelings against Vietnam then, many students made nasty comments or laughed at Judge as he passed them by. Judge had finished Marine Embassy Guard School and told Locke he was being sent to Saigon.
It was the last time Locke saw him.
"The thing I really remember most about him is he always wanted to be in the military. It's all he talked about," Locke said.
Looking back, Locke wonders if Judge knew he wasn't going to be in this world very long. Judge was a little guy, Locke said, but a leader and not afraid to try anything.
Locke said, "He being a year older, he was my hero." Whatever Judge achieved in Scouts, Locke worked to achieve.
The day Judge died was an emotional one for Locke.
"I was a senior in high school," he said. "I was working at one of the grocery stores in Marshalltown." He knew of the evacuation in Saigon. But then, over the radio, he heard that Judge was killed. Locke remembers going to the back room and crying until he couldn't cry anymore.
"It's one of those events that really shapes you, shapes your life," he said. "It feels like it was only yesterday. It doesn't go away."
The town had a memorial service for Judge a few days later in the high school gym. It was packed. Judge's body was not returned to the United States until a year later.
"I think it taught me, first, that life is short," Locke said. "You don't think about that when you're a senior in high school. From him, personally, I learned ... to set goals and go for them. He died doing what he wanted to do."
Whenever Locke goes home to Iowa, he said, he always puts an American flag on Judge's grave. Judge is buried near Locke's grandfather, who served in World War I, and Locke's father, who served in World War II.
Saturday, 25 years after the fall of Saigon and Judge's death, Locke will return to his hometown for a memorial service for Judge. Judge's parents will be there, with whom Locke has kept in touch over the years.
Thomas Vilsack, Iowa's governor, will be one of the speakers. National media outlets are expected, too.
"Right now, 50 percent of Darwin's unit is going to be there (at the memorial service) who were at the fall of Saigon," Locke said.
A Marine Embassy guard graveside service will be held for Judge, and Judge's family will be presented with awards for Judge, something that didn't happen years ago because his body was returned a year after he died in Vietnam.
While Judge's name may be mentioned many times during the ceremony, Locke said, "We're doing this to honor all the men and women who served in Vietnam." The theme of the ceremony will be "Honoring Those Who Served."
Tom Brokaw, "NBC Nightly News," will include a story on the fall of Saigon during the news broadcast Friday, featuring an interview with Locke on Judge.
There were 58,178 Americans who died in Vietnam. Of those, 1,532 were Hoosiers.
Along with the service, a commemorative patch has been developed with proceeds going to a permanent endowment in Judge's honor to provide scholarships for Scouts to attend camp.
Patches may be obtained by sending $2 and a self-addressed stamped envelope to Association of Christians Through Scouting (ACTS), P.O. Box 1473, Warsaw, IN 46581-1473, or by calling 269-7937 for more information. Locke organized ACTS in honor of Judge.
"Every once in a while I hear someone talking about Vietnam, saying 'what a waste' or something to that effect," said Locke. "My friend's death was not a waste. I worked at a Salvation Army camp in Kansas a few years ago where children of Vietnamese immigrants were attending. They were laughing and playing, enjoying the freedom we have in this country because of the thousands of Americans who served and some who never returned to their homes and families.
"We have the privilege of freedom today because of veterans. I miss my friend. He was the greatest this country has to offer and lived the Scouting ideals of duty, honor and country. We must never forget that freedom comes with a price."

Valentine Day …………Let's See Love This Year
As we all know that Valentine Day is going to come next week. It is a day when everyone expresses their love by gifting each other with flowers, cards, chocolates etc. Yes it celebrated in western countries but now from many years we the Indians also celebrate this day for expressing our feelings. It is a day of love and bonding. India being a country of different religions and castes, has also accepted this day as one of its own. A country that celebrates almost all the festivals of the world. It is a day for love, romance for youth to oldies
Young couples share their feelings by sharing gifts and spending full day together. On February 14, Valentine's Day restaurants, discos, Cineplex, pubs and pizza parlors see a particularly busy time as couples celebrate the day in togetherness. Many love birds even propose on this romantic day. People also express love to their friends, teachers, siblings and parents.
As India is a country where different religions are followed some people and political parties find this day as should not be celebrated in India as this day comes from western countries it should not be welcomed in our country and culture. Some Hindu and Muslim religious groups openly oppose the valentine day saying that this not the culture of the country. They protest and beat youths and couples seen together on this day. they destroy and ruin shops, galleries and places where these days celebrations happen.
Everyone has the right for privacy. No one has right to interfere in anyone's life. Shiv Sena every years protest this day by threatening people and beating couples any where together. In Mumbai couples spend more time together at bandstand by hiding themselves behind rocks enjoying private moments are ruined and are beaten by Shiv Sena. In all over India Shiv Sena people protest and make hell the whole day for couples and love birds.
Why it is wrong to celebrate Valentine Day?
Why Shiv Sena interferes in every single case?
How many of you think celebrating Love is not Indian culture?

It's very easy to get one-shotted, but there are ways to not die.
1. Check every rare creature's abilities (rmb>inspect), because rare creatures have classes like you do, and you want to know if you're dealing with a summoner, archmage or berserker.
2. Set damage shield to activate when enemies are visible. It may seem like a waste but it'smuch better than seeing your hp go from full to zero without knowing what hit you.
3. Vision is underrated. Improve your sight range to 11 (very few abilities have more than 10 range, and enemies see you at 10)
4. Resistances. It matters a great deal whether you have lightning res or not in daikara, and res all is really nice. I wouldn't have managed my last character if it wasn't for my 60% arcane and 20% res all.
Hope that helps.
One year has passed since the one the Orcs call the "Scourge from the West" came and single-handedly crushed the Orc Prides of Grushnak, Vor, Gorbat, and Rak'Shor. The Allied Kingdoms, now linked by farportal to their distant, long-lost Sunwall allies, have helped them conquer most of Var'Eyal. The few remnants of the ravaged Prides are caged... but one Pride remains. Kruk Pride, isolated on an island, is the last orcish settlement that stands; they, too, face their impending doom. The Sunwall has blockaded the only exit point from the island, and now, the technologically advanced civilization of Steam Giants have come down from the mountains to take their homeland with machines and weaponry unlike anything else on Eyal. Kruk Pride has reverse-engineered their technology before; their only hope is to do it again and rise up against the Pride's foes.

"The strength and determination you have shown throughout is remarkable."
These were the words that the Prime Minister, David "Call me Dave" Cameron reserved for Kate and Gerry McCann after they had apparently sent him a LETTER, imploring his personal intervention in ordering a review of the case involving their missing daughter.
Those words could equally have been applicable to any number of people who make up what has come to be dis-affectionately known as 'Team McCann', whose support and dedication appear limitless.
Certainly, the "strength and determination" of Brian Kennedy, whose elaborate intervention and finances have perpetuated Team McCanns efforts is "remarkable" indeed. Not only has the Multi-Millionaire financed MANY of the McCann exploits over the past few years, (and indeed, continues to DO so); but he has frequently and quite systematically taken it upon himself to interfere in many witnesses to the Madeleine McCann case, including Robert Murat, at a time when he was an official Arguido, to a degree where a number of the witnesses concerned expressed that they were effectively being harassed.
Remarkable determination also, in consistently donating hundreds and hundreds of THOUSANDS of Pounds to an assortment of dubious "Detective Agencies", including the infamous Metodo 3 whose operatives were flown all over the world in pursuing fake and fabricated sightings and tales of 'Kidnap to order' gangs in the mountain ranges of Morocco, to 'paedophile rings' in Saudi Arabia.
At least Kevin Halligen, awaiting trial for a $2 Million Dollar fraud in the US, elected NOT to bow down to the Dictats of Kennedy, ignoring his convoluted instructions to fabricate and create, preferring to merely drink away the estimated £500,000 PLUS that HE pocketed.
"Remarkable strength and determination" are what one would find etched through the very core of spinner extraordinaire Clarence Mitchell, like the shaky lettering in Seaside rock candy, were one to break him in two!
Here is a man who has made a most successful career moulding and controlling the populations' thoughts and notions, through his guise at the "Media Monitoring Unit"; a man so malleable and changeable, so utterly devoid of any belief, principle of moral that he has been a most effective Electioneer for both the Labour Party AND THE CONSERVATIVES!!
Whatever the message, Clarence is your man to spread it. (As long as the price is right).
But the "Strength and Determination" prize for the Decade must surely be awarded to that irascible old Mogul, Rupert Murdoch. For it merely only needed a single page in his most popular UK organ, the 'Sun', highlighting the 'Letter' from the McCanns imploring the Prime Minister for help, (Gerry McCann thoughtfully commenting that, seeing as Cameron had suffered anguish over the death of his six-year-old son Ivan in 2009,: 'He will understand what we've gone through."),
then the mighty forces of the British Government, its Metropolitan Police and its Home Office were mobilised, promising to "review" the whole evidence in the case.
Or, as "Britain's Soaraway 'SUN'"puts it:
"Yard will Hunt Missing Clues".
If the 'YARD' proves anywhere near as strong and determined, they shouldn't have too far to look for them. Then again, given that the PORTUGUESE are, as yet, stating that they have NOT been approached by the British authorities in the matter, then perhaps they'll rather need more than strength and determination to come up with anything.
"Sardine Munchers" and "Country Bumpkins" were just TWO popular epithets coined by "Fleet Street's finest" to vilify, firstly the Portuguese police, their authorities, their Government and finally their people.
Yet "Strength and Determination" were exactly what was shown by the many Portuguese locals who worked through the WHOLE of that summer night, and BEYOND, in 2007, on their hands and knees sifting for clues as to the whereabouts of a missing girl. People who did so instead of returning home to their families, or continuing with their own work and lives.
The same people, along with the police, at whom Kate McCann expresses anger and frustration at in her "truthful" book, for not helping to look for Madeleine.
"I simply cannot imagine the pain you must have experienced................."
That was the OTHER part of the quotation, directed at the McCanns by David Cameron.
If I might take something of a liberty, I'd like to reserve THAT sentiment for the estimated 110 families whose children have been reported as officially missing since 2007, whose "Strength and Determination" have indeed prevailed, in spite of NOT enjoying close to a £3 million budget to help find them, along with a whole gamut of multi-millionaire businessmen and celebrities, the entire British Media industry AND, it would appear, the undivided attention of Her Majesty's Government.

E-commerce giants like Flipkart, Amazon, e-bay, Snapdeal and few more are always in constant battle with each other. They are constantly in competition as to who can get the most number of customers and generate high sales. This ongoing competition has finally brought some fruit of success to Amazon as it has caught up pace with Flipkart and overtook Snapdeal in terms of monthly visitors in May. According to data from Internet analytics firm comScoreData, Amazon India had 23.6 million unique visitors in May, edging past Flipkart narrowly. Hurray! Jeff Bezos is celebrating probably.
Flipkart had 23.5 million unique visitors; Snapdeal had 17.9 million in May this year. When compared annually it shows that Amazon had 142 percent jump in the number of unique visitors since May 2014, flipkart had 80 percent and Snapdeal had 90 percent jump.
On the contrary last year same time Flipkart was much ahead of Snapdeal and amazon who were on an equal level with close to 10 million visitors to their sites.
According to PTI, industry experts caution that unique visitors are just another metric for ecommerce companies, and the 'loyalty and stickiness' of customers are a more reliable measure to go by. Another popular parameter ecommerce company follow is the gross merchandise value (GMV) to indicate the total sales value reflecting the volume of their business, Singhal said.
Currently, Flipkart, the country's highest valued ecommerce company said that it expects its GMV to touch Rs 76,000 crore in a year. Earlier, the company had said it expects to reach a GMV of USD 8 billion (over Rs 50,000 crore) by December. Snapdeal is aiming to reach GMV sales of USD 10 billion (about Rs 63,000 crore) by the end of this year.
Amazon India is offering more than 25 million products for sale through its online marketplace. It reportedly crossed USD 1 billion (Rs 6,300 crore) in sales in September last year while Flipkart reported a GMV of USD 3 billion for 2015. Snapdeal already crossed the USD 3.5 billion mark by May. GMV is a metric which depends on the size and scale of the company in e-commerce, but not the only one to measure the health of the business. Revenues which are a small margin of the sales, should also be taken into account for gauging the company's current position.

Never Exhausted
"The possibilities of wood engraving...as a sensitive medium of expression...
have never been exhausted by anyone."
— Paul Landacre
Paul Landacre, American (1893 - 1963). Black Stallion, 1940. Wood engraving on medium weight, moderately textured, beige paper. Bequest of Henry Latimer Seaver. Photography by Petegorsky/Gipe. SC 2011:26-9
Wood engraving is a slow process. An artist takes a burin, or sharp engravers' tool, and creates lines and hatches in the wood. When the wood block is inked and sent through the printer's press, the uncarved surfaces press ink onto the paper, creating the impression. Over the course of his life, Paul Landacre became a master of wood engraving, and a standard for those exploring this printmaking medium.
Paul Landacre's introduction to art came as a form of self-therapy. A student at Ohio State University, he was student of horticulture when a streptococcusinfection took away the use of his right leg, and severely limited the capacity of his arms. This sudden change in his health compelled him to return home to San Diego in 1917, where he took time to adapt to his new circumstances.
Attracted to the flora and fauna of California, he began to sketch the natural world around him, and discovered a latent aptitude for drawing. It was a period of self-discovery and experimentation: he explored many different printing methods until he finally settled on wood engraving as his preferred medium.

Detail of Some Ingredients
While most printmakers in the 1930s and 1940s did not print their own woodblocks, Lanacre was an exception, as he usually pulled his own prints (with the help of his wife, Margaret). His friend Willard Morgan had found a dilapidated iron hand press while he was exploring Bodie, a deserted mining camp, and Landacre rehabilitated it for his own use. Restoring the press was a grueling effort: each greasy part needed to be taken apart and cleaned, the rust removed, a process that took over two months. For Landacre, the difficult work was worth the end result: he could print his own blocks and control every stage of his artistic creation. He insisted that "The blacks should be black, the whites white, and every line or dot engraved on the block should show clean on the proof."

Landacre's devotion to the natural world shines through his prints. His careful lines and hatches, etched into the wood block, create a beautiful range of tone that can mimic the silky light of the moon on calm water, or the shadows on a head of garlic. His wood engraving Laguna Cove (above) reveals his technical mastery. About this work, Landacre said:
"The subject of this present engaving, Laguna Cove, is a favorite spot near Laguna Beach, California. One summer night the moon seemed to illuminate this particular scene and create a pattern of light and shadow that had to be recorded."

Paul Lanacre produced art for nearly four decades to great acclaim: art historian Carl Zigrosser dubbed him "the outstanding wood engraver on the west coast of the United States."

This is the twenty-ninth weekly episode of Lying In The Gutters and games are still afoot. Back to some of my favourite ground here, Marvel spinning, anti-spinning and readers dizzy. Right, let's crack on, this is a gossip and rumour column serving the comic book industry like you would witty remark. Now. Remember the rumour rules. Red light means it's probably bullshit, Yellow light means I think there's an element of truth and Green means you get bet your life on it. Or someone's life. Not mine, I've been wrong before. Take everything you read with a sense of scathing abuse - and if you do repost information here elsewhere, please include a warning to that effect. And a link. Man does not live by hits alone - but I could do with the attention.
A very handy (and unnamed) web resource has revealed a number of graphic files that appear to be from an upcoming Alan Moore project called Another Suburban Romance. Coming from Avatar, with Antony Johnston as adaptation monkey, these look really nice and should be a fine companion to the Magic Words volumes.
Earlier this week, as reported everywhere, Mike Doran send out an email asking about press conferences, to a bunch of online comics media types. Everyone soon noticed the chain of emails on the end that leaked a bunch of new Marvel titles. X-Fan reported the leak, Newsarama reported it while commenting on how the email seemed fake, Comicon Pulse took the piss by refusing to report it. Not exactly Marvel's plan there. And the Gus Beezer image was then sent out, and a handy Google search revealed it was a Gail Simone piece. The strap line said that it was part of a First Wave, coming in April.
So what exactly is the significance of Marvel's name for this new slew of mentioned titles? Well, a few sources seem to indicate that "First Wave" is just that, the first of many new titles to come this year. I understand that Marvel seem to be considering increasing their number of titles in the market in an attempt to regain market share. Currently, DC beat Marvel on total sales, when reorders are counted, but do so with many more titles than Marvel. Looks like it's time for the House Of Ideas to live up to its name again. Either that or go down the Bob Harras route of flooding the market till it collapses. Let's see which one they choose, shall we?
One title is "Mystique," which is what the "Change is Good" preview image seen around the place refers to. I understand another is a new "Inhumans" monthly, written by Sean McKeever, pencilled by Matthew Clark, edited by Tom Brevoort editing and with recent Inhumans artist Jae Lee providing covers.
Look for a host of miniseries and series being rescheduled for April, when they were originally scheduled to trickle out throughout the year. One's I've heard mentioned include:
New Mutants
B-Sides II
I was a big fan of the original series of "B-Sides," hopefully this second chance will see more than me and my granny buying a copy - and that was only due to her failing eyesight.
As for the fake leak e-mail from Mike Doran, was this the same man who was reportedly pretty peeved in conversations with Marvel employees a few years ago when Joe Quesada and Jimmy Palmiotti pushed their "Spider-Man is a mutant" April Fools joke years ago? Apparently not, it seems that was Matt Brady. Ah well. He posted on the Comicon thread that started much of this affair, "I was the pissy one when the Spider-X hoax came out, and I got all high and mighty, saying, "This is clearly a hoax and Another Universe [stop that snickering] doesn't cater to this kind of nonsense {huffle huffle huffle}." So I've been on both sides of this fence, but in that case, the information with the release was nonsense. In this one, as I mentioned in my original article on it, the title names released jibe with what I've heard and what Jemas has said is coming in April."
So who can you trust these days? Trust is certainly one of those words we've been hearing a lot, this week…
One series that won't be helping the Marvel line to gain domiance is the continuing "Earth X," now entering it's final arc as "Paradise X." This is Bob Harras regime title, kept going by already-signed contracts designed to keep Alex Ross sweet. Concerning alternative Marvel futures based heavily of past continuity, it's not a series that fits in with the new Marvel regime, and receives little publicity or promotion.
On the X-Fan message boards, Jim Krueger informed fans that Joe Quesada had cancelled the "A" special, which was to fit in the "Paradise X" maxi-series.
All the "Earth X" specials have been designed to fit together to tell a continual story. Already the text pages illustrated by Alex Ross were removed from the "Universe X" second series, to see Comics International and WizardWorld reproduce them independently. But with editorial changes to the "Ragnarok Special" as well, fans of the books aren't that happy.
First it was the distributors being banned from sending US-licensed comics overseas. Still, UK Transformers fans consoled themselves, we can buy them direct from American shops.
Not anymore, that little loophole is being closed right now.
Midtown Comics, one of the larger New York stores with a large mail order/online presence has just told international customers that it can no longer provide them with their Transformers fix.
Lying In The Gutters has been reporting the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" title by Peter David and LeSean Thomas from Dreamwave for a while now. But what's with the other Turtles comic being published?
It seems that Dreamwave have the licence for a colour title, while the black and white title will continue as normal.
Oh gods, the next comics revival on its way is "Ghostbusters." Run, run, I tell you. This can't end prettily. Look, I was the first person to tell you about "He-Man" and "Voltron." It's leading to the apocalypse, it really is. Anyway, recognise this face…?
And this piece looks awfully familiar..
Last week's red-lit rumour on a possible 'outing' of Connor Hawke, the young Green Arrow has been dismissed by DC. I'm told that Bob Schreck has given it a "no way" response.
Some creators, though, are not too sure. There have been hints dropped in previous issues about Connor's ambivalence towards women - so much so that Chuck Dixon, Connor's creator, has gone out of his way to introduce a little heterosexuality into his life. A recent example is Connor sleeping with a female ghost.
Dixon was emphatic that he saw no place for homosexuality in kids' comic books. In an earlier post on the Dixonverse Web site he wrote "I don't want to expect to be able to shield my kids from the subject of homosexuality as the media seems intent on bringing into my home and nothing short of cutting the electricity and boarding the windows will stop it. But I DON'T want my kids reading about it in comics. I don't want Judd Winnick or Grant Morrison or the nimrod who wrote this 'Rawhide Kid' comic informing my kids about the many facets and lifestyle choices out there in the world. I'd like to be the one to talk to them about it when they're older and I feel the time is right. I especially object to them using characters familiar to my kids to present this worldview. Could you please leave the Beast and Green Lantern alone?"
Fine words there. Remember that people, homosexuality is out - but heterosexual necrophilia is to be encouraged!!
One of those things you'd have thought more people would have picked up on.
Look what that damn fool Todd McFarlane's gone done now…
Out in April folks!
Paul Levitz officially became President of DC Comics in the eyes of AOL/Time Warner at the beginning of this year. As a result, he has given a five year extension on his contract. He's here to stay, folks!
There's nothing like a bit of Legion news to get the hits going. Well, the new ongoing artist for the "Legion" are Chris Batista and Mark Farmer, with cover artists Tony Harris and Tom Feister. Look for Darkseid to show up in "The Legion" on a fairly regular basis. Issue 19 is his first!
Remember chaps and chapesses, the official HTML link is http://litg.comicbookresources.com
I hear the new ongoing creative team for "Soldier X" after Darko Macan and Igor leave are Karl (Muties) Bollers and Arthur Ranson. Ranson, best known for his phenomenal "Button Man" work, recently drew the critically acclaimed "X-Factor" series.
There's a wedding rumour concerning "Uncanny X-men." It's rumoured that issue 425 will see the wedding of Polaris and Havok. Look for issue 420 or 421 for the engagement announcement. Also, issue 427 may well clear up once and for all whether Mystique is Nightcrawler's mother… or father!
So what have other old-rime Rawhide Kid creators been saying about his upcoming 'turn'? Clearly they'd be appalled at such a turnaround, right? Well, Stan Lee and John Severin clearly aren't but what about old time stalwart Dick Ayer?
On the Comic Art mailing list he wrote
"Ol' Rawhide has roused much publicity, that's for sure. Now, as I worked on his stories since the days when he carried a bull whip and when the hue and cry from the censors caused me to take the whip away and dress him in leather chaps so we could call him Rawhide Kid still, I, too, wondered about the relationship between Rawhide and the boy, Randy, who'd been in the stories even when Joe Maneely drew it before me. I wondered because the relationship between Robin and Batman had been cited.
"Is it possible Rawhide always was, but never talked about it and was more true to the times his stories took place? In the updated version of Rawhide there was no Randy. He wasn't the big hero type I'd have liked to have drawn (I did draw him bigger when I pencilled him, I think. )"
Earlier this week, a few people got a bee in their knickers about the Marvel fake leak that went out, each site having a different take on it. But that was nothing compared to the stream of countless emails when I shared certain information I'd received, with Comicon Pulse's Jen Contino.
The story went that Mike Doran, Head of Marketing Communications at Marvel Comics had shared private AOL Instant Messages between Doran and Contino over the fake leak affair, with head of Comicon rival Newsarama- and Doran's old partner in that operation - Matt Brady.
Now the material specified was fairly innocuous, and not too different to what had been expressed in Jen's article on Comicon about the fake leak, depending on your point of view. But it's been seen as a breach of both protocol and of trust. I understand that Comicon have been spitting teeth while Mike Doran has refused to see this as such a big deal.
The game continues.
The current Waiting For Tommy contains a challenge to me by Nick Barrucci. If I am successful, I'll be flown out to the USA for a Wizard World Convention, where a Lying In The Gutters Live will be conducted in the nearest bar. If not I'll be close to a thousand dollars down. Join in the fun, at Waiting For Tommy and watch this Wednesday's column to see if I fail at the first hurdle.
If you've got a story, talk to me. Your identity will remain anonymous unless you wish otherwise. You can choose a pseudonym and join the ranks of the Gutterati. Or be a demon reposter, join the Gutter Snipes and spread the word about stories in this column across the Internet, where relevant. Then tell me where you've put them up - the more mainstream the better!
You can contact me at:

The anti-vaccine camp and the effect of Fear, Inc.
I received this very heartfelt note from a friend who is torn over whether to vaccinate her 4-year-old son against the pandemic H1N1 flu:
I'm just so nervous about the vaccine since there's so much controversy. I don't know which is worse, taking our chances to not get the flu or getting the vaccine and it being new and untested and possibly harmful? I just want to do the right thing. I'm scared.
Her note came on the heels of a very spirited and interesting debate among members of the Association of Health Care Journalists. One of the health writers asked her colleagues to suggest a credible source to discuss why the swine flu vaccine might not be safe.
Several people offered up names like Dr. Joseph Mercola or Dr. Kent Holtorf, who was recently featured on Fox News as an infectious disease expert.
Within minutes, other health writers dissected the profit-driven conflicts of interest that people like Dr. Mercola and Dr. Holtorf have.
Dr. Holtorf is not an infectious disease expert, he is a California-based purveyor of bioidentical hormones and natural therapies. Much of the information he gives in the above Fox News report is flat-out wrong. For example, there are no adjuvants, or chemical boosters, in the U.S. H1N1 seasonal flu shot.
Futhermore, it is being made in several preservative-free formulations, for those who are concerned about exposure to Thimerosal.
My son James got one of them, the FluMist nasal spray.
Not that the preservative is the evil Holtorf describes. The type of mercury in Thimerosal is ethyl mercury not methyl mercury, and it is significantly less toxic and more quickly cleared from the body than methyl mercury. Historically, before Thimerisal, contamination in vaccines was a killer.
A stirring counter arguments to the anti-vaccine fear industry has just appeared in Wired Magazine. An excerpt from "How panicked parents skipping shots endanger us all:"
This isn't a religious dispute, like the debate over creationism and intelligent design. It's a challenge to traditional science that crosses party, class, and religious lines. It is partly a reaction to Big Pharma's blunders and PR missteps, from Vioxx to illegal marketing ploys, which have encouraged a distrust of experts. It is also, ironically, a product of the era of instant communication and easy access to information. The doubters and deniers are empowered by the Internet (online, nobody knows you're not a doctor) and helped by the mainstream media, which has an interest in pumping up bad science to create a "debate" where there should be none.
What bothers me most about the misinformation spread by Holtorf is that it terrifies people needlessly. It's good that people read skeptically. But why reserve your skepticism for the vaccine industry and not the fear industry? Jenny McCarthy, the former Playboy centerfold who has an autistic son, is surely sincere in her beliefs. But she's a not a physician. And Holtorf? He has built a thriving practice by hawking fear.

This sounds very simple but it's not actually. You would think "I just click the format button and all is done !" still remember a very special option you may not be looking at.
Every portable media player (like Walkman) have their specific file system which must not be changed. The file system is a method how the data is being stored in a device. If you change the file system while formatting a portable media player, it may result a device malfunctioning or get a restart every time you start, means it won't work as it should. Still you can change the file system as well. I'm telling that because such thing happened to me and it took days to figure out the problem.
Here is how you can format without changing the file system:
- If you change such options you may get a "Restore device defaults" button so just click it before starting.It is not a necessary but avoid changing name ("Volume Label") because in some case that causes a problem.
- Before clicking next make sure the file system is "Default"
you can format flash drive with different formats like NTFS,FAT32,exFAT………
Why are too many file systems in there ??? and What's different between them ???
FAT32 is an old file system which does not allows a single file bigger than 4294967295 (232−1) Byte (4gigs) it's commonly used as a primary file system with old Windows (like 98 and XP),check Wikipedia for more
NTFS allows much larger files than FAT32,and more popular now.So if you're having error on copying file >4 gig on flash drive that there's no space then format it with NTFS file system.
Find more on Wikipedia
There are lots more file system used in various types of digital devices,different OS,different device have different File Systems take a look About it.
I'd really appreciate a comment down below…….

Choose bulb type
Trillium recurvatum. Fully hardy, perennial. These are plants of the open woodland, filtered shade is needed, rather than full shade. They need humus rich soil that is well-drained but not to dry, peat moss added during planting will give them a boost. A marvellous plant to grace the shady areas of your garden. Over several years will produce a lovely carpet of colour during late spring.

text: Digital IAB's New Standardization Tools Just Might Mean You Won't See That Beer Ad 10 Times in a Row Suite includes functionality for technology like skippable advertisingBy Sam Thielman|April 10, 2012Share By Sam Thielman|April 10, 2012Share The Interactive Advertising Bureau is addressing a problem that's plagued tech-centric industries since the first Mac-vs.-DOS argument: standardization. The problem has become acute for Web video, an industry enjoying meteoric growth, and the growing pains that come with that growth. So the IAB is trying to make delivering video ads a whole lot simpler. Indeed, as more video is consumed in more places on the Web, it's that much harder to buy—since every publisher seems to use different technology and employ various tactics for delivering Web video ads. For a while now, the IAB has had a handful of tools aimed at helping content creators slot in ads to any video player they need to use, but Tuesday (April 10) marks the debut of a newer and better set of specs that addresses a much broader spectrum of advertiser needs. Here they are, in case you're just reading this for the link. "A few years back, we faced an interesting problem where video ads really required different formats for each site that could host video content," said IAB's vp of advertising technology, Steve Sullivan. "All the sites had their own players—some were common, but any that had inventory that they could fill with video were custom and unique." In encouraging the industry to standardize around these three formats, the IAB has the advantage of being a trade organization, rather than a single advertiser or publisher with a vested interest. The protocols are three detailed technical documents that explain how to create a video ad that any content publisher can easily embed to suit the advertiser. This eliminates the need to create one file for Flash, one for Silverlight, one for Quicktime, one for YouTube, etc. They come in three delicious flavors of jargon, and it is the third that really bodes well for the consumer. 1) VAST. The Video Ad-Serving Template is a straightforward XML schema that serves individual in-stream ads—pre-roll, mid-stream interruptions, whatever. One of the major updates in the 3.0 version is support for "podding," or what the TV community would think of as a traditional ad load'—a few advertisements run in a predetermined sequence, or pod. This works for standard-issue videos—all the creative can be contained in a standard digital video, like an MPEG or an AVI file. 2) VPAID. The Video Player Ad-Serving Interface Definition is a bit more complicated. It's a PDF file with a how-to for creating nonlinear and interactive video ads that can be loaded into most browser-based video players with no tweaking. For this, think of the dog-ear ads you see when you stream TV shows—those little flappy corners that peel away into a larger ad when you roll over them. There are other permutations here, too, but that's why this is an instruction manual rather than a template. 3) VMAP. This is the service that should excite the consumer the most. Again, it's an XML template for managing a lot of inventory remotely. The example Sullivan gives is that if you're ABC and you're running Wipeout on a site other than your own, with VMAP you can tell the third-party player when and where to play your advertisements. This might mean the end of seeing six of the same Chase Slate ad with the adorable couple who find out they're having triplets every single time there's an ad break on Hulu.

EAST LANSING – East Lansing police will have more information on Monday morning at 10 a.m. addressing the number of arrests, any potential injuries, and the damage caused during raucous celebrations near the Michigan State University campus early Sunday morning following the MSU football team's victory in the Big Ten championship game.
Police are calling the incident a "large civil disturbance" -- not a riot -- that resulted in multiple arrests. Shortly after the football game ended, celebrations erupted around the city with the wildest occurring at the Cedar Village Apartments.
Students poured into the streets outside of the complex to celebrate the victory over Ohio State, which sends the Spartans to the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1. Some shot off fireworks, and a larger group of partiers set fire to a couch while dancing around it and chanting in a large circle.
The crowd, which was estimated to be in the thousands, was loudly celebrating as MSU police officers blocked off traffic into the complex. Students stoked the fire by tossing lawn furniture, undergarments, tree limbs, a basketball hoop, and even a mattress with the fire lighting up the sky in a giant fireball.
Cedar Village has been home to post game rioting in the past, including the March 27, 1999 riot that spread through the streets of East Lansing following MSU's loss to Duke at that year's Final Four. That riot caused nearly $500,000 in damages and 132 people – including 72 students – were arrested.
Last night's disturbance was contained to the Cedar Village area by officers from MSU, East Lansing, Ingham County Sheriff's deputies, and Michigan State troopers. East Lansing police in riot gear were at the ready, but largely looked on before dispersing the crowd around 2:30 a.m. and fire crews were able to put out the fire.
Despite reports to the contrary, no tear gas was used to disperse the crowd. East Lansing police have not given any numbers of arrests but said that they will press charges against individuals deemed to have committed a crime.
Michigan State University also has warned of consequences for anyone affiliated with the university found to have broken the law after a review of the events.
Authorities released a brief statement Sunday and will go into further details during Monday's press conference. There were no reported injuries at the scene.

The RSPCA Bluebell Ridge Cat Rehoming Centre, Chowns Hill, Hastings was targeted by vandals on Sunday January 15.
The perpetrators approached the centre around 9:30pm, smashed external security lights and broke into the reception office.
Centre Manager, Myra Grove says thankfully none of the cats were harmed, adding: "However a lot of damage was done to the office where a window was forced open and another was damaged. The vandals entered the area and were scared off by the cattery's alarm system.
"It was really upsetting to arrive to such a mess, and to think that someone is so desperate for a few pounds that they'll steal from a charity.
"We are all very grateful that the cats are safe."
Anyone who has any information on this incident is asked to call Sussex police on 101.
The Bluebell Ridge is owned and operated by the Sussex East and Hasting branch of the RSPCA. It is a separate charity within the national body and is entirely self-financed. Each year the branch has to raise over £150,000 to keep the cattery open. www.bluebellridge.org.uk

Student or Learner
It is correct to use Faster and Fastly ? or I should use just Fast? in a comparative way and as an adjetive respectively.
Use "faster" as a comparative "a rabbit is faster than a snail", for example. Use "fast" as an adjective, "a fast car".
If you need the superlative it's "fastest"; "a rabbit is faster than a snail, but a car is the fastest of the three".
If you want an adverb, use "quickly"; "the rabbit moved quickly, for example. "Fastly" is incorrect.

Found-footage movies have had a mixed record lately, with the horror genre particularly taking its lumps.
Can a movie with that conceit and a time-travel premise break the streak?
We were all set to find out in a few weeks, on Feb. 28, exactly, with the release of "Welcome to Yesterday." But the film -- a movie with just that blend that's produced by Michael Bay's production company -- has been taken off that date for a new, as-yet undetermined one.
It's rare for a studio to pull a movie just three weeks before its release. Paramount had put out a trailer and shown the movie, which is complete, at industry screenings, where it has been warmly received. but things had not been moving apace for the marketing campaign -- a poster, for instance, had still not been released.
The film is now likely to get a release in either the latter part of the summer or early fall, though Paramount will have to navigate around its August release of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and the new "Paranormal Activity" film in October.
"Yesterday" (formerly titled "Almanac") has a low-budget feel that relies on concept more than pedigree to attract audiences to theaters. Though it does carry the Bay name, it's directed by South African newcomer Dean Israelite and includes upstart actors Jonny Weston, Sam Lerner and Allen Evangelista. Savvy marketing of its high concept is a more likely path to success, as it was for the movie that kickstarted the found-footage frenzy, "Paranormal Activity."
"Welcome to Yesterday" had originally been given a first-quarter date similar to "Chronicle," another coming-of-age genre-tinged movie that had a found-footage conceit. That film was a hit when it came out two years ago; this one is said to go lighter and contain more fun than that movie, which focused on superpowers and took a dark turn.
Paramount has struggled of late with two other movies it pushed back -- Tom Clancy adaptation "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit" and Jason Reitman drama "Labor Day," both of which underperformed. Delays don't always spell box-office doom, though. Paramount's own "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" was pushed from June 2012 to the following March and ended up grossing nearly $400 million worldwide.

Commission urges Environmental Protection Agency to Withdraw its Clean Power Plan Regulatory Scheme
Topeka, KS - Today, the Commissioners of the Kansas Corporation Commission (KCC) authorized their staff to file technical comments to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) calling on the agency to withdraw its proposed Clean Power Plan (also known as Rule 111(d)) regulatory scheme and return to the proven and historical regulatory framework of regulating air pollutants.
"The direct impact of the EPA's Clean Power Plan will be a complete transformation of Kansas' electrical utility industry resulting in a substantial increase in rates and a negative economic impact to the Kansas economy," said Chair Shari Feist Albrecht. "The EPA's attempt to make such monumental changes in a few short years is unrealistic."
Section 111 of the Clean Air Act establishes a mechanism for controlling air pollution from stationary sources. The Clean Power Plan is a federally mandated program that requires states to reduce carbon output from existing coal plants and develop a plan that meets a state-wide carbon reduction goal set by the EPA. The Plan is currently scheduled to become final by June of 2015.
In Kansas, the KCC is the state agency tasked with ensuring Kansas ratepayers are provided sufficient and efficient electric service at just and reasonable rates. The EPA has historically worked with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) to enforce the Clean Air Act. This has been accomplished by regulating stationary sources of air pollution through generation unit specific permits and the use of proven technologies that reduce pollution. The Clean Power Plan proposes a new regulatory scheme that sets a state-wide carbon emission limit and seeks to change the generation mix in Kansas to place more emphasis on natural gas combined cycle generation (NGCC), renewable resources, and energy efficiency. This new scheme creates jurisdictional issues, as well as concerns with reliability, affordability, and other issues.
The KCC's comments focus on key issues including, EPA's Legal Authority, Reliability, Affordability, Regulatory Obstacles, Stranded Costs, Over Reliance on Natural Gas, and Cap and Trade.
Legal Authority - The Clean Power Plan is an attempt by the EPA to regulate each state's mix of generation resources. The EPA's plan explicitly requires coal-fired generation to be used significantly less or completely shut down, while shifting generation to NGCC, renewable resources, and energy efficiency. The Commission questions whether EPA's has the authority to regulate generation mix, an area now clearly under state control.
Reliability - In Kansas, the Southwest Power Pool (SPP) is responsible for dispatching generation and the reliability of the grid. SPP has conducted a Reliability Impact Study, which demonstrates that the Clean Power Plan, as proposed, will result in significant reliability issues, including black out conditions in the SPP region. The reliability issues identified by SPP's study are primarily due to the Clean Power Plan requiring a significant reduction in the use of coal plants, while shifting generation to NGCC (Kansas currently has no NGCC plants), renewable energy and energy efficiency in such a short time period (15 years).
Affordability - Ratepayers have seen dramatic increases in their electric rates over the past eight years. To meet the new Clean Power Plan standards, Kansas must make significant investments in replacement base load generation (NGCC), renewable energy, transmission, and energy efficiency, all contributing to substantially increasing electric rates even further. Commission staff estimates a cost to Kansas of $5 to $15 billion.
Regulatory - The process of regulating carbon emissions on a statewide basis is very problematic. First, the KCC does not regulate all electric utilities in the state of Kansas. Also, Kansas utility companies have invested in environmental upgrades when required by EPA, while other states have been much slower to comply. Because the Clean Power Plan is a state-wide emission standard and not specific to affected generation units, if protective measures are not taken, the result most likely will be some utilities ratepayers paying for costs that actually lower another utilities ratepayers cost. It is also possible that Kansas' ratepayers could pay costs that lower other states' ratepayers' costs.
Stranded Costs - Kansas has invested billions of dollars recently for environmental upgrades to electric generating units in Kansas that burn coal. The Clean Power Plan will mandate that these coal units generate significantly less or that they are shut down before the end of their useful life. Despite the fact that the coal units will no longer be fully utilized or not utilized at all, ratepayers will still be legally required to pay for the coal units through the end of their projected useful life.
Over Reliance on Natural Gas - With an abundance of natural gas in the U.S., there will be a need to replace a large portion of coal generation with natural gas generation. Coal has the ability to be stored on site while natural gas must be delivered at the time of use through transmission pipelines. A study should be commissioned to understand the dynamics of substantial increase in natural gas usage for electrical generation and the effects on our current pipeline systems and what will be required for new infrastructure to meet the demand.
Cap and Trade - In its Clean Power Plan, the EPA encourages the use of a market based approach such as a Cap and Trade program. Cap and Trade programs interject too much uncertainty and risk into the utility planning process for new generation and related transmission projects that will be required under the Clean Power Plan. In addition to creating higher costs, a Cap and Trade program could lead to future stranded costs.
Kansas has achieved a 19.1% reduction in CO2 emissions from 2005 to 2012. This reduction was realized while Kansas's retail sales of electricity increased by 3.15%.
The KCC regulates public utilities including telecommunications, natural gas, electric and water companies, and oil and gas producers. The Commission's regulatory oversight of public utilities primarily pertains to rates and terms of service. In order to ensure that customers of regulated utilities are provided sufficient and efficient service at just and reasonable rates - jurisdictional utilities may not change rates without Commission approval.

You watching Bayern v Wolfsburg tonight Hill?I'm not really into the Bundesliga but it'll be a decent watch ahead of the second leg of the super cup.
Bilbao's goalkeeper just scored a header against 9 men Malaga in injury time to make it 1-1 and it's been disallowed for absolutely nothing.
Roma have sold Serie A's best defender Benatia to Bayern. That's not going to help their title hopes.

Isolationism is fool's gold
From the Parkville Luminary
What would post-earthquake Haiti look like today if the United States did not intervene, did not send any aid or troops, or did not send any food or doctors or medical supplies?
What would Israel's prospects look like if it was forced to go it alone, if the United States did not provide material, military or political support?
And, how would Al Qaeda react if the U.S. decided to abandon the war against terrorism?
Indeed, the world would be a much different, and scarier, place without leadership from the United States. Yet, frighteningly, support for a new isolationism is on the rise in America.
In a recent Pew Center survey, 49% of Americans agreed with the statement that the U.S. should "mind its own business and let others get along on their own". This was by far the highest percentage of Americans agreeing with this survey question since it was first asked in 1964. The "mind our own business" mentality was especially evident among those younger than 30, where 59 percent agreed with the isolationist sentiment. (www.pewresearch.org)
"The generation that fought World War II required little persuading that it was always better to fight a war in another country than to wait for one to erupt in your own," said John Pike of GlobalSecurity.org. "It was just self-evidently true…I'm not sure it's true for the Twitter generation." (KC Star, 1/10/2010).
In a related question, 44 percent said the U.S. should "go our own way" and not be concerned when other nations disagree with us. (www.pewresearch.org)
While the results are disheartening, they are certainly understandable. Some experts think the sentiments expressed in the poll don't reflect isolationism as much as they do a distaste for what respondents see as America's bullying. It's logical to think that a good deal of the "mind our own business" sentiment has been generated by the unjustified, immoral, and costly war in Iraq.
However, the survey results cross the line from anti-bullying to true isolationism when one examines the role of the right wing tea partiers. Columnist David Brooks writes, and I agree, that the tea partiers' isolationism is rooted in their anti-intellectualism. "The story is the same in foreign affairs. The educated class is internationalist, so isolationist sentiment is now at an all-time high, according to a Pew Research Center survey. The educated class believes in multilateral action, so the number of Americans who believe we should 'go our own way' has risen sharply." (http://www.nationalcenter.org/EditingDavidBrooks.pdf)
Of course, some of the isolationist sentiment is also being generated by far left wingers who never saw a trade agreement (NAFTA, for example) or foreign intervention that they liked.
Both the right and left wingers are wrong. The world needs America's leadership more than ever, particularly in the battle against Al Qaeda. Pakistan and Afghanistan would be instantly destabilized if the U.S. slinked home, and both countries would eventually become even safer places from which Al Qaeda could operate. Also, without a threat from the U.S., rogue states like Iran and North Korea would menace their neighbors.
Without funding from the United States, the United Nations would be unable to keep the peace, and would find it harder to deliver food, medicine, and education to the impoverished around the world. An isolationist America wouldn't sponsor the Peace Corps, and 7,671 Peace Corps volunteers wouldn't be deployed around the world making life better for countless thousands while demonstrating to the world the true American spirit.
Isolationism has always been fool's gold. For proof, look no further at America's isolation in the 1920's, an isolation that allowed Nazism to rise, isolation that threw up few barriers to an expansionist Japanese empire. America must be globally engaged. If our interventions are intelligently conceived and morally executed, America's security is enhanced by making the world a more stable, livable place.

California State Fair 2011
This is really old but I wanted to post it anyway.
Hubby and I enjoy visiting the state fair one night every year during the two week festivities. It's fun to see all the people, rides, food booths, displays, musical and theatrical productions, and exhibits. The exhibits are probably my favorite because so many people spent time in a creative way and offered to display if for everyone who is interested in viewing it. Ribbons are given so it isn't completely selfless but I think that improves the items displayed.
These were from the Craft exhibition:
Knit Tank top
We almost missed the exhibits with only 10 minutes to quickly browse two of the exhibit rooms it really wasn't enough time to really enjoy it. I was excited to find a lady with her spinning wheel cleaning up for the night. I would have loved to see her spinning.
For food tasting we first browsed the food booths before most of us decided to buy ears of corn. The fun thing about these is all the toppings provided. Chili powder, garlic, butter. Everything smothered and covered. Four of the six of us there then shared a helping of fried cheese curds which was plenty. Disappointingly they tasted like fried mozzarella instead of curds. Oh well. After that we headed to the traditional cinnamon roll booth. I shared one with hubby since I'm never able to finish a whole one myself.
The evening was wasting so the six of us meandered through the vendor booths where I picked up some right hand rings for cheap and was called to by a number of vendors hoping I'd buy a mattress, a set of knives or frying pans, or let them fry my hair with their fancy straight irons. I find it all a little ironic.
Toward 10pm we headed outside to view the nightly firework show. It isn't the most grand show but I Always love seeing the lights shimmer. For me it connects other strong memories in my past. The nostalgia and romance hang thick in the air for those few minutes and I'm 5 again lying in the grass with my parents and standing on the roof of my grandparents house at 21 knowing that in a year I'll be married to my new fiance and 30 wishing my parents were there enjoying the show with me instead of at the hospital wondering if my mom will survive to see another year. So many emotions are packed into every light show no matter how grand or how small.

Seven Day Suit is an artist-led collaborative exhibition, devised and curated by a group of emerging artists working in photography and moving image. In 2015 I was invited to mentor the group as part of the Redeye Lightbox programme. On meeting the group it was decided to work towards and propose an exhibition at Brighton Photo Biennial.
In response to the Biennial's theme of fashion and identity the artists have taken the tracksuit as their area of research and subject to explore identity and representation – personal and projected images, influences, gender, and politics of style, subcultures and the subversion of social and cultural norms. Through the tracksuit the new photographic and moving image work features identity, subcultures, politics and social and economic impact through the fashion of one garment. The tracksuit has become part of the identity of the wearer, individual and group/tribe. It is an example of fashion that transcends class and cultures, existing in both low and high fashion. The tracksuit has become historically significant, yet has remained relevant to this day, having been recurrent within developing fashion trends. Seven Day Suit opens at Brighton Photo Biennial on 1st October until 30th October 2016.
