As the American arcade steadily faded from the recreational landscape, fighting games migrated to dedicated hardware. Consoles, and later portables, offered an outlet for pugilism that would endure for generations of hardware. But steadily, a number of perceptive publishers also began porting their titles to PC. With games like Arcana Heart 3 LOVE MAX!!!!!, Battle Fantasia -Revised Edition-, and Guilty Gear Xrd –Sign-, Arc System Works has been at the forefront of this trend. With the release of Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late, the Yokohama-based firm continues their tradition of proficient ports poised to please fighting game devotees.
Originally released across Japanese arcades in 2012, Under Night was subsequently tweaked and ported to the PlayStation 3, with a stateside localization following three years later. And with this largely competent PC adaptation, Windows-based gamers are now able to enjoy In-Birth Exe:Late's numerous virtues. From a mechanically rich, but not convoluted gameplay to character art that converges on the exquisite, this is another adept collaboration between Ecole Software and French Bread- the teams behind both Melty Blood: Actress Again and Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax. As such, genre fans will certainly want to add the title to their wish list.
Recently, fighting games like Xrd Sign have provided players with protracted storylines which help to provide a context for all of the ensuing conflict. Given Under Night's elaborate backstory, it's a bit surprising to not find a dedicated narrative that explains what's going on in this original IP. Instead players will either have to grab exposition from the conversational fragments provided before fights in the Arcade Mode, or seek out a FAQ. Either way, they'll discover that during monthly phases known as a Hollow Night, cloaked creatures known as Voids clandestinely gather a resource referred to as Existence. While most people can't see the beings, the few who can are often attacked. For most, this leads to insanity, while the rare survivors are referred to as In-Births, and harness the ability to control Existence.
To add another layer of depth to the plotline, no less than three different factions each have their own policy on Hallow Night, Voids, and humans. In execution, there's a lot of narrative implanted in Under Night. While those interested in the conflict can eek out exposition, those more interested in fighting can either skip past the dialog sequences, or opt to play another, conversation-free mode.
But before venturing into a confrontation, a quick trip to the game's training mode might help to understand some of its distinctive nuances. While there's plenty of fighting game convention, with the customary health bars and EXS meters which regulates the special attacks that complement every character's unique repertoire. But peer between each combatant's EXS bar and you'll spy Under Night's most transformative mechanic, the Grind Grid.
Shortened as 'GND', the multi-block gauge reacts to each fighter's technique. Play aggressively, block proficiently and you'll swell the meter, while if you backtrack and flail around, you can expect it to shirk. Periodically, a clock-like meter rewards the players with something called a Vorpal state. While in this condition, the player gets a blue aura around them, signifying increased damage output, as well as converting GND blocks into an EXS refill and canceling out of attacks. In execution, it's an intriguing system that rewards tactical play and re-energizes matches every seventeen seconds with its mid-round tug-of-war sessions.
Visually, the game makes for a proficient port, although there a few minor blemishes are apparent. Wholly, character design is spotless, extending characters like Nanase, a nimble sword-carrying schoolgirl with a mobile phone fixation or Waldstein, a hulking, hairy man whose carries humungous gauntlets. Whether players prefer speed, reach, or power there's a combatant to be found, and with the game's consistently fluid animation and delicately-drawn details, it would be hard to not be enamored by at least a few fighters among the roster of sixteen. Unfortunately, the level of fidelity doesn't apply to the polygonal backdrops, which can be sparse and flaunt only a modicum of movement. Musically, the game runs the gamut, so expect everything from J-pop, searing metal, and even a bit of dub-step to supplement the on-screen skirmishes.
Although Under Night doesn't brandish beloved GGPO middleware, online matches exhibited minimal lag and smooth execution. While only a few fighters were online at any given part of the day or night, creating or hopping into a competition was painless, allowing for a breezy play session. Given the quality of the title, it would be great to see the game cultivate at least a modest community, as the roster shows a solid sense of balance.
With the release of Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late, Ecole Software and French Bread demonstrate their unblemished record to PC players, with a fighting games that absorbing, attractive, and mildly addictive. If Windows-based machines can continue to receive reasonably-priced titles like this, players might have abandon their console allegiances for a machine with a burgeoning library of essential fighting games.

Her parents were John Parsons and Fanny (Skinner) Warren, the former
from Somersetshire, and the latter from Yorkshire, England. The family of
David Milligan had removed to near Pittsburg, Pa., and the mother, worn
out with the care of a large family and the hard work incident to the life of a
pioneer woman, died of consumption when Thomas was but two and a half
years of age. He grew up on the home farm to the age of fourteen years, a
timid, sensitive, proud boy. He then came to Waveland, Ind., to help his
brother John in a country store. When about sixteen years of age, after
much mental suffering and gloom, he came out into the clear light of Chris-
tian faith. He always felt that he owed much to the prayers of his mother,
and to the faithful labors of his pastor. Rev. John Thomson, of Waveland.
With the question of his soul's salvation settled, he determined to study for
the ministry, and entered the new school established fourteen miles away, by
cultivated Christian scholars from New England. This was Wabash College.
There Thomas was a most faithful student from 1833 to 1839, when he gradu-
ated in the second class that left the college, a class of four young men, all
of whom entered the ministry. These six years represent a period of great
self-denial, as the $400 patrimony could not cover much of the way. But his
thirst for knowledge was something unusual. He won a reputation for
scholarship, specially in the languages, of which he never tired. He con-
tinued his studies in Greek, Latiri and Hebrew till his death. After gradua-
tion he spent one year in Wabash College as tutor of Latin. He then entered
Lane Seminary, Cincinnati, for a three years' course in theology, under Dr.
Lyman Beecher, Dr. Calvin Stowe, etc. When the young minister was ready for
active service, he was presented with a fine thoroughbred horse, saddle, bridle
and saddle-bags, the gift of a wealthy Kentucky gentleman to Home Missions.
Mounted on " Zeno " Thomas Milligan traversed the marshes of northern
Indiana, preaching in schoolhouses, barns, private houses, and organizing
churches. For a while he was settled at Rochester, as first pastor of a church
that he organized.
In 1846 he removed to Green Castle, where he had been pastor a few
months. There he spent almost eight years. One year of this time he was
agent for the American Board, an ofiice that required laborious travel over
new country in Illinois and Indiana. In the course of his travels he visited
the county south of Green Castle, — Owen, — a county that had one old Presby-
terian Church, established in 1820. This was a country church, once strong
in every sense, but at this time depleted by large colonies that had gone from
it to Iowa and Texas. The "few sheep in the wilderness " appealed to this

sensitive, self-sacrilicin^ man, and in 1853 he settled in the little lu^ cabin
parsonage of Bethany, five miles from the liost-olhce and railway staticjn at
Gosport. He then had a young wife and three little children. In time a
new and comfortable home was built, land purchased, orchard and vineyard
set out. For years Thomas Milligan was the only I'resbyterian minister in
C)wen County, but he was a power, lie travelled tirelessly, carrying bibles,
tracts, and religious papers in his saddle-bags ; setting up family altars, per-
suading parents to educate their children — even taking the children home
with him that he might teach them — preaching the gospel of the kingdom
wherever men would hear him. Mow he labored and prayed, organized circles
of Bible study and the study of natural sciences, lectured, taught school, put
his children through college, wrote for the press, organized churches, kept a
happy home, carried on favorite studies, communed with nature, entertained
as a charming host, — this and much more would fill a volume. He was a
favorite with his alma mater, usually attended her commencement, and con-
tributed from his fund of ready wit and humor to her festive occasions, his
toasts being long remembered. In the eulog}' passed upon him at the time
of his death, by the president of Wabash College, he was called the best all-
round scholar that had then left the college. His children remember him as
a man of the highest and noblest ideals, of elevated conversation, of fine
nature, of deep but repressed affection, of intensest energ)% indomitable will,
full of uncomplaining self-sacrifice for the home and the cause of Christ.
So intense was his nature, that he wore himself out too soon, dying a few-
days before he was sixty, on Oct. 7, 1876. He lived such an elevated religious
life of consecrated service that Heaven would seem more natural to him than
earth. He had issue four children, all living, names with 4th generation.

The first company to ever issue an ICO on Ethereum has partnered with a new decentralized dark pool exchange to allow digital asset investors to trade their assets for DGX tokens, a gold-guaranteed cryptocurrency, on a hidden order book to minimize price slippage.
Republic Protocol, a new anticipated decentralized 'dark pool' for cryptocurrency trading, has partnered with Digix, the first company to conduct an ICO on the Ethereum blockchain and the maker of gold-backed DGX tokens. Republic customers will be able to trade BTC, ETH or ERC20 based digital assets on a hidden order book directly with DGX tokens, which are redeemable for 1 gram of 99.99% LBMA standard gold per token.
"It's an honor for Republic Protocol to partner with a such a prestigious, veteran company such as Digix," said Taiyang Zhang, CEO of Republic Protocol. "Our goal is to allow the customers on our platform the flexibility to easily move their digital assets without adversely affecting the overall stability of the markets. By partnering with Digix, we will now be providing them with the opportunity to transfer their assets to the one of the most stable storages of wealth throughout history: traditional gold."
A dark pool is a private exchange where financial assets and instruments are traded and matched by an engine running on a hidden order book. These exchanges are primarily created to serve institutional or HNW retail investors who require a system where significant volumes of assets can be block traded with minimal price slippage. Dark pools are estimated to represent approximately 10–15% of the trading volume of all US stock trades.
Republic Protocol is building a decentralized open-source dark pool protocol for the trading of cryptocurrency pairs across the Bitcoin and Ethereum blockchains. Trades on Republic will be placed on a hidden order book and are matched through an engine built on a multi-party computation protocol.
"We are thrilled to be one of the first asset to be made available on the Republic Protocol platform," said Shaun Djie, COO of Digix. "DGX tokens will provide a stable, gold-backed digital asset for investors looking to secure their wealth and hedge against the volatile markets. Large holders of DGX tokens will also be able to invest their assets with minimal price slippage."
Digix was the first company in history to issue an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) on the Ethereum blockchain in early 2016 when they created the Digix Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DigixDAO) and released DGD tokens. Since then, they have pioneered a range of blockchain technologies involving digital assets, including the Proof of Asset (POA) Protocol and creation of the DGX token — a stable digital currency backed by physical gold bullion.
Together, Digix and Republic Protocol will be offering digital currency investors a secure, private and stable way for them store or invest their assets when the trading platform launches on the Ethereum Mainnet in Q3 of 2018.

An article by Margot Hill in The Bermudian of February 1949 gives usa clear idea of his personality. "Undisputed patriarch of his little king-dom, his life had a certain Biblical quality of grandeur and simplicity.The Foxes are a big family, and their holdings in St. David's accountedfor a good deal of the island. There were no boundary marks; any rela-tive could come and live on King Fox's land anywhere. His chief loveand life, naturally, was the sea, but he farmed too and there was alwaysenough to go round, not only the swollen family circle but for friendsand strangers too."Her article actually focusses on Tommy Fox's nephew, "War Baby"Charles Fox, who said, "He [ Tommy] had a heart as big as his body andhe was crazy about children.

According to Hill, "War Baby maintains that it was being dispos-sessed of his land that killed this king of a lost empire. 'After we leftthe place, he never went there again, not once till he died.

Lear how to improve your backyard crops with simply using a vegetable trellis.
Before cultivating vegetables or providing support for your vegetable crops, know that there are three kinds of climbers. Having a good knowledge of the three types of climbing vegetables and the vegetable trellis support required will make your garden management successful. Climbing vegetables likes to grow vertically, but the thing is different vines climb as well as spread in many different ways.
Basically, we have three types of climbing vegetables. They include vegetables with:
However, to choose the right support, growers need to know the differences in the growing tendencies of these vegetables.
Common Vining Vegetables
Pole beans
Sweet potatoes
The fact is, one vegetable support structure might not fit all. So when you have sound knowledge of their growing tendencies, you can then provide the right support.
Trellis for the 3 types of climbing vegetables
An example of a twiner is pole beans. As the vining stem of the plant grows upward, it wraps around anything it touches. Trellising twiners are not much of a problem because they are not selective. They grow and twine in an anticlockwise direction.
Tomatoes and sweet potatoes belong to the category of non-climbing scrambling vines. Though they do not belong to the same family, but require the same support technique. You can support them with cages or tie to a trellis. In fact, trellising is a common practice used for vegetable support.
Plants that falls into this category include squash varieties, cucumbers, and peas. They produce tendrils from the stem, which is what they use to grab and climb. These tendrils are selective. They prefer to grab and climb something that is organic or not metallic.
Benefits of trellising vegetables
Gardeners benefit a lot from training or supporting vegetables. Encouraging crops like tomatoes to grow upright will make the plant to channel its energy towards producing more tomatoes than making more roots. Growers can also seize the opportunity to cultivate more crops in a small piece of land. Harvesting is also done easily when this trellis is used to grow crops. Trellising also encourages proper circulation which reduces the spread of diseases. It allows growers to cultivate healthy crops and achieve better fruit quality.
Another interesting reason while trellising vegetables should be encouraged is that it exposes vegetables to an adequate amount of sunlight. Light is very vital to the growth of vegetable crops and is needed for the plant to make their own food. When plants do not receive or are deprived of adequate sunlight, they tend to have stunted growth or may even wither and die.
HORTOMALLAS® offers a well known trellis netting to be used with commercial vegetables plantations. This net comes on a roll that is easily unwound directly in the field, the net is fastened (with or without a tensioning wire on top of the support poles that will allow the net to stand above the plants). The net is generally installed either before the transplant of the nursery plants or after the direct seeding in the furrows.
Some plants, especially solanaceous are better supported with a double wall of nets along both sides of the row of plants. As the plants develop and grow upwards spreading their branches horizontally thru the meshes of the plastic net, the horizontal strings of the net will act as catchers of the weight of the plant loaded with fruits.
Allowing the plant to be trained naturally using trellising net without human intervention will also increase the yield, as the plant will be saved from pathogens transmitted by the hands of the workers. HORTOMALLAS® trellis net for vegetables will last many growing seasons while its cost will be easily recouped during the first cuts of the crop.

Ponte Vedra FL Family Photographer {An evening on the beach}
This family contacted me several months ago. They had seen my work and were coming down to spend a week for vacation and really wanted to have photos taken. I felt completely honored and in awe that another out of town family found me and wanted me to do their photos. It made my whole day.
Since they were only visiting for a week we knew we didn't have many days to really work with. Of course, that entire week it rained and poured and I was so nervous that we weren't going to be able to do the session. The day of, it rained again. After talking for a bit, we decided to just try it and see how it went. If it rained, we'd work around it. So, off I went. It rained all the way down there, but as I pulled in to their location, the rain stopped. Thank heavens! Then I stepped out of the car and started freezing. Yup, a cold front. Oh well, it was on.
We headed out to the beach. It was so windy and so chilly. I was worried that this sweet little girl wouldn't like it, but thankfully she LOVED it. She was all smiles and silly giggles. Let me tell you, you could totally tell she is the apple of her momma and daddy's eyes, too. We played around on the beach for a while, then headed up to the boardwalk and the lawn of their rental for a few more images.

Okay, so this may be one of my all time favorite sessions now. I've shot downtown often, but mainly stuck to the friendship fountain area and nearer to San Marco. When this mom contacted me, she said she wanted super urban: graffiti, grunge, brick, etc. I can't tell you how psyched I was to do this session. I love trying new locations and when I do I feel totally inspired and creative. We discussed where exactly we were to meet and decided to work around the old library and Florida theater.
When I met this family at the location I was stoked. They were totally hipster feeling and I could just feel that it was going to be a great session. We walked all over downtown and when we spotted a fun wall or cool detail we totally stopped and took a few photos. It was fantastic. But, enough talk. I'll let the images speak for themselves!

This adorable family came to me for family photos. They mentioned they wanted something rustic, but with buildings and large trees. Immediately, we all decided that Walter Jones park fit the bill pretty much perfectly. We met up on Saturday morning and the weather was so nice. It wasn't too hot, it wasn't too cold, it was just perfect. We ended up walking around a ton since it was pretty packed with other families but we found perfect little areas to get gorgeous images.
We played, we laughed, I sang silly songs to get cute gummy baby grins. All in all, it was just a wonderful morning with a super sweet family! I can't wait to work with them again!

Jacksonville FL Family Photographer {The G Family}
I recently worked with the Jacksonville Mom's Blog at their annual Pumpkin Playdate and had such a great time. The coordinator was super fun and we got along great. This family here came to me after seeing my work there and asked for a beach session. After chatting back and forth we decided on the day and time.
The day came and we met up and it was kismet. We all got along great and the kiddoes were absolutely adorable. We played on the beach and got some insanely gorgeous images for their home. I love using family sessions to get posed family portraits, but also candid playful images. The playful shots are always my favorite since they show what life is really like for these families. And this family's life must be amazingly fun! They had smiles the entire time and I just couldn't help but pull mom and dad away for a few couples shots as well. You can tell where these kiddoes learned to love because mom and dad were so cute together.
I cannot wait to work with this gorgeous family again in the future!

Jacksonville FL Family Photographer {An evening on the beach with the A Family}
I met this gorgeous family on the beach for a fun sunset session! It couldn't have been better weather and the kiddoes couldn't have been more adorable. We started out with the traditional family images and moved to more candid and lifestyle images to get those fun, playful shots.
We ended the evening with some photos on the boardwalk where the sunset put on a spectacular show. It was simply perfection.

Researchers have found that a technique used to visualize amyloid fibers in the laboratory might have the potential to destroy them in the clinic. The technique involves zapping the fluorescently-tagged fibers with a laser, which can inhibit their growth and degrade them.
This study, appearing in the Jan. 9, 2009 issue of JBC, may offer a non-drug alternative to treat amyloid-based disorders like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Huntington's diseases.

They say it matters more if there is money on it - not true, not even close, writes James Toney at Longchamp.
Too often racing frames its narrative through the prism of fractions and a baffling lexicon designed to confuse.
Yes, Enable is the hottest of hotpots and the jolliest of jollies in today's Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe but forget about the ground, the trends, the conspiracy theories about the draw and what you might invest. Just enjoy the ride.
And, besides, if your interest is principally governed by how many Euros or pounds you'll stick in your pocket today, then do something else because this is no Sunday to be a heathen.
Because you don't have to know one end of a horse from another to appreciate what could unfold this afternoon, it'll be drama undiluted on the grandest of stages.
It's the final chapter of a story that has transfixed racing, the symbiotic partnership between the greatest race mare of her generation - possibly the greatest ever - and seemingly forever young jockey who has long transcended his sport.
Frankie Dettori and Enable have combined to win 12 straight races, including ten Group Ones, racing's biggest prizes.
RELATED: Enable's story: Aristocratic Longchamp to down to earth Newcastle, the racetrack where it all began
RELATED: Nervous Frankie frets ahead of Enable's date with destiny
They've won Europe's richest race at Longchamps twice before - and only one horse, Treve, has even attempted to bag a third, ironically a bid Dettori denied.
They've enjoyed success at home and aboard, last year winning in Paris and then crossing the ocean to claim an unprecedented double in the Breeders' Cup. This mercurial and marvellous pair are big over here and big over there.
Stars of flat racing burn bright and brilliant and fade frustratingly fast, the biggest names earning the real money when retired safely to a field to do what comes naturally and create the next generation.
It's a credit to Enable's owner Khalid Abdullah, whose love of French racing dates back to his time as a student in Paris, that he has kept Enable running into her five-year old season.
Though when you're as rich as Croesus, the chance of making history means the chance of making money can surely wait just a little longer?
The season of mists and mellow fruitfulness is now upon us and it'll soon be time for the jumps, where all roads lead to Cheltenham, that sporting behemoth that dominates the weeks to come and too often sucks the oxygen from the conversation.
If National Hunt has one towering monument then a flat season enjoys many peaks, the early season Classics, the pomp and circumstance of Royal Ascot, midsummer showpieces and big-money finales, none bigger or better than the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe with its century of history.
They say jumps is about heart and flat is about the head - today turns that age old equation a total 360.
Dettori, enjoying his most successful season just a few weeks short of his 49th birthday, knows this chance will not come again, his tension palpable in recent weeks.
If Enable has fleet of foot then Detorri has the turn of phrase - giddily comparing success in Longchamps this Sunday to the moon landing.
It certainly could be one giant leap for man and horse, so strap yourselves in, it's time for takeoff.

How ironic that Democrat gubernatorial candidate Chris Bell will take $5 million dollars from trial lawyer John O'Quinn. The party that always clamors that Republicans are "for the rich" is taking money from a super-wealthy man who owns 600 cars worth $100 million. Why doesn't he practice what Democrats preach and redistribute that wealth to the poor in Texas? George Soros, the Hollywood crowd and John O'Quinn all have one thing in common: They want the taxpayers to be the ones footing the bill for wasteful social welfare programs as long as they get to keep their mansions and porsches. This is the height of hypocrisy inherent in the Democrat party's philosophy.

I'd like to first thank you all for being here, and for deciding to become active with ISI. I'd like to talk today about the current climate on college campuses, and what that means for our civilization. I'd also like to discuss the title of your club, The John Adams Society. First, please allow me to read an excerpt from my book The Conservative Revolution: How to Win the Battle for College Campuses. "Leftists have been the loudest and most successful activists on college campuses since the 1960's. Their infamous protests of the Vietnam War were exceptional in their magnitude. The demonstrations were so successful that communist Vietnamese leaders admitted that their efforts to win the war hinged upon the success of the so-called "anti-war protestors." They knew that their only hope was a divided America. Public opinion was vital to the American leadership as well, as indicated by the political decisions that prevented a successful end to the war. The lesson from this sad history is that students do matter, and always have. Students have the time and the means to organize for their causes. More importantly, college campuses are the battlegrounds for the ideas that shape public opinion. While conservatives have introduced ideas onto college campuses for decades, they have traditionally not been as successful at getting exposure for these ideas. But, this has been changing over the course of the last few years. National movements that seek to address the problem of the biased and blatantly Leftist universities are already making progress. "For over a half-century, the Intercollegiate Studies Institute (ISI) has worked against the collectivist ideas on college campuses and has countered with the mission to further in successive generations of American college youth a better understanding of the economic, political, and spiritual values that sustain a free society." As I wrote on the back of my book, "College campuses today have become bastions of Marxism and political correctness." The former radicals of the sixties have comfortably moved themselves in to the academy, along with their ideologies. Since academia is a place where ideas are not tested against reality, this seems the perfect place for their failed Marxist economic beliefs and for the deconstruction of postmodernism. When one can insulate oneself against reality, he does not have to face the inconvenience of determining whether is ideas work. Rather, he can lecture and write about the failings of the market economy and the potentialities of socialism. Young students who challenge his views on history, economics and politics are naïve, conditioned by their parents and that oppressive religion, Christianity, to think a certain way. Their minds have not been opened, and they have not thought outsight the dominant paradigm, which is controlled by the dominant (ie: white, male, Christian) culture. All the so-called classics, from Homer, to Aristotle, Aquinas to Shakespeare, can be deconstructed and discarded. And they should be replaced with Foucoult and Derrida, Chomsky and Marx. The West's culture was superior only because it violently victimized non-Western, third-world peoples of color. It's imperialism, racism, capitalism and sexism go hand-in-hand and are the driving forces of its dominance. Not its ideas. Well, I say hogwash. In Texas there is another less polite word for it, and it starts with "bull." The Intercollegiate Studies Institute is a non-profit educational foundation that began in the fifties when a small cadre of students gathered together to counter the collectivism that had entrenched itself in American politics and culture. From the New Deal to communist sympathizers, Frank Chodorov and his friends realized that the academy was the battleground for ideas in America, and they began a mission that continues today: to Educate for Liberty. With the post-war conservative movement beginning to flourish, they tapped into the minds of men like Russell Kirk and William F. Buckley, and began holding small meetings like this one where they simply discussed ideas and great books. Although their small enterprise has grown into a huge institution that has thousands of members, their work is unfinished. The academy is now controlled by those tenured professors like Ward Churchill, Peter Singer, Noam Chomsky and Robert Jensen that seek to destroy the Western tradition steeped in Judeo-Christian values, ordered liberty, the free market, individual responsibility and rights. I do not use this term "destroy" imprecisely. When you read their texts or discuss their ideas with them, such academics are not ashamed to say that the West, and more specifically These United States, are what is wrong with the world. They seek to replace the Western tradition with something else, something ostensibly progressive. If progress is moral relativism, collectivistic economics, abortion, the end of gender, atheism, narcotics and democratic despotism, then I want none of it. The fact that these ideas not only permeate, but dominate, the liberal arts on college campuses, is what is so frightening, and why it is so important that groups like ISI continue their work. As Russell Kirk wrote in The Roots of American Order, "Our time of troubles is like the disorder of the Roman republic in the first century before Christ, and like the catastrophic collapse of Roman civilization in the fifth century after Christ. As individuals and as a civilization we people in the twentieth century grope for order." I assure you the radical professors in the academy aim at disorder, moral anarchy and throwing the ideas of St. Augustine, of Plato, of the founding fathers, into the dustbin of discredited ideas. Because these ideas are the foundation upon which the West and ultimately the American Republic was founded, they must be destroyed. Ergo, we see curricula filled with the ideas that run counter to the West. Only by replacing Western culture with postmodern culture can the radical innovators bring about the zenith of their counter cultural utopian vision of man's paradise on Earth. For, if one does not believe in God or his heavenly rewards, nor humanity's fallen nature, then surely this Earthly existence can and must progress toward perfection. That, my friends, is the difference between us, and them. Hopefully I have clarified the struggle of ideas that we are facing every day in our culture. John Adams and Ordered Liberty  Now I want to turn to one of the greatest founding fathers, whom you have chosen to honor by naming your club after him. Kirk has called John Adams "the founder of true conservatism in America." Kirk writes in The Conservative Mind, "the American Revolution was not an innovative upheaval, but a conservative restoration of colonial prerogatives…Thus, men essentially conservative found themselves triumphant rebels." It was Kirk's thought that inspired me to write an essay called "Is there such a thing as a conservative revolution?" In this essay, I wrote, "Who could argue that this was a revolution whereby the colonists rebelled precisely to preserve their rights as British citizens? When listing the grievances in the Declaration of Independence that brought forth the revolution, Thomas Jefferson mentioned policies that the King and Parliament had instituted that had violated the colonists' rights. Most of these policies were recently enacted, after the French and Indian War. It was the King and the Parliament, and not the colonists, who were changing things. Therefore, the revolution that ensued sought to restore things as they were before the innovations of the British government. This was a conservative revolution." John Adams was indeed a conservative revolutionary. Adams knew the importance of religion in the polity. He wrote, "Is there a possibility that the government of nations may fall into the hands of men who teach the most disconsolate of all creeds, that men are but fireflies, and that this all is without a father?" "Give us again the gods of the Greeks." It seems today that the academy is filled with people who would replace belief in a higher power with belief in the supremecy of consumption, self-gratification and secular humanism. Adams' views of man's equality might be pertinent for those today who worship at the alter of "equality." He wrote, "That all men are born to equal rights is clear. Every being has a right to his own, as moral, as sacred, as any other has. But to teach that all men are born with equal powers and faculties, to equal influence in society, to equal property and advantages through life, is as gross a fraud, as glaring an imposition on the credulity of the people as ever was practiced by monks, by Druids, by Brahmins, by priests of the immortal Lama, or by the self-styled philosophers of the French Revolution. For honor's sake, for truth and virtue's sake, let American philosophers and politicians despise it." This indictment of equality should ring true in light of today's push for social leveling and redistribution of wealth and status. Adams preserved the Western tradition and its search for the truth. He reflected Aristotle's Ethics when he wrote, "All sober inquirers after truth, ancient and modern, pagan and Christian, have declared that the happiness of man, as well as his dignity, consists in virtue." What were these virtues that good men should seek to cultivate? Certainly not the virtues espoused by our intellectual elites today. What were his views on power in light of his understanding of human nature? "My opinion" he writes "is, and always has been, that absolute power intoxicates alike despots, monarchs, aristocrats, and democrats, and Jacobins, and sans culottes." It was the political genius of Adams and other founders that led Kirk to call our Constitution "the most successful conservative device in the history of the world." Others can and have said much more about John Adams and his contributions to American liberty than I can. I highly recommend The Conservative Mind and The Roots of American Order, both by Russell Kirk, and both which describe the intellectual and moral tradition of what he called "The American Cause." The point I'd like to leave you with is that you should immerse yourselves in the ideas and stories of the Western tradition stretching from the plains of Homer's Troy, to Dante's journey to hell, to Hamlet's struggle with the grief of his father's murder. These ideas and stories are worth reading, and re-reading, and telling and preserving. The literature, art, architecture and political philosophy of the West is the story of who we are today. I fear that if we do not defend our culture, both from radicals in the academy and barbarians at our gates, we could lose it. And despite what some intellectuals might have you believe, the world would most certainly not be better off if the West were to fall. You are the remnant that has the ability to preserve the ideas that influenced our founders at the creation of the Republic. Take it as a personal responsibility to speak out in class, to meet and discuss the great books, to introduce other students to these ideas and to continue the mission that ISI has been pursuing for over fifty years. Keep the torch of liberty lit, and carry on the traditions of the West, and of our country, what has been called "the last best hope for mankind." Thank you for your attention.Brendan Steinhauserhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735290.post-1159237670023481002006-09-25T22:24:00.000-04:002006-09-25T22:27:50.050-04:00Busy WeekThis week I travelled to Iowa and Massachusetts. I joined FreedomWorks Chairman Dick Armey in Iowa for an event hosted by Iowans for Discounted Taxes. Armey talked about the need for Presidential candidates to discuss big issues like a flat tax, government spending restraint and personal retirement accounts for young workers. I then flew to Massachusetts to teach a grassroots seminar for The Leadership Institute. We travelled to Smith College in Northampton, MA to teach students from that school and others in the area about how to be effective in youth politics. Next week I head to California to take on the Leftists in LA about FCC media ownership rules. We will be testifying at a hearing and also handing out literature promoting free speech and free enterprise.Brendan Steinhauserhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735290.post-1158344672257159072006-09-15T14:21:00.000-04:002006-09-15T14:26:46.696-04:00Teacher Tears Down '911 Never Forget' Flyer at San Francisco Catholic School..

For some, this phrase flies in the face of traditional conservatism like that expressed by Edmund Burke in his Reflections on the Revolution in France. Conservatives, we are told, reject revolutions as radical and bloody innovations. While this may be the case in a political context such as the French Revolution, revolutions are not all the same. In this essay I hope to provide three examples where revolutions were in fact conservative, and one scenario where a future revolution could be conservative. First, let us look at the American Revolution. Who could argue that this was a revolution whereby the colonists rebelled precisely to preserve their rights as British citizens? When listing the grievances in the Declaration of Independence that brought forth the revolution, Thomas Jefferson mentioned policies that the King and Parliament had instituted that had violated the colonists' rights. Most of these policies were recently enacted, after the French and Indian War. It was the King and the Parliament, and not the colonists, who were changing things. Therefore, the revolution that ensued sought to restore things as they were before the innovations of the British government. This was a conservative revolution. The Texas Revolution that began in 1835 was also a conservative revolution. The Texian rebels led by cult heroes like Davy Crockett, William B. Travis and Sam Houston were fighting to restore their rights that had been trampled by the Mexican dictator Santa Anna. In fact, the flag that flew over the Alamo was the flag of 1824, which represented the Mexican Constitution of 1824 abolished by Santa Anna. It was Santa Anna, and not the Texians, that was the radical innovator. The Texians did seek their independence, but only because the government that they had consented to had become tyrannical. They sought to restore their rights that had existed prior to Santa Anna, but in doing so, launched a new nation, the Republic of Texas. Suppose that years from now our own government grew in power and began to dismantle our Constitution. Many on the left and right believe that this is already happening today, although I think we are far from it. If our government declared martial law, forced a national identification card, instituted a draft, jailed dissidents and launched wars of conquest around the globe, would Americans continue to want to "conserve" that government? Those on the left and the right might actually join forces to overthrow the government through revolution and restore it to its constitutional foundations. Would this revolution be a conservative revolution? It seems to me that if the effect of the revolution was not bloodshed and anarchy, but ordered liberty and a return to constitutionalism, one could call this revolution "conservative." Let us hope we never come to such a scenario. But I think the example is helpful in understanding the term "conservative revolution." How does the use of the phrase "conservative revolution" apply to college campuses today? When free speech is violated, conservative newspapers are destroyed and Western Civilization is torn down every day why should conservatives "conserve" the campus culture? Conservative students are facing an intellectual battle daily in lecture halls, dormitories and administration buildings. Conservative students are fighting on campuses to restore the campus to a culture of free inquiry, intellectual pluralism and academic freedom. Since the takeover of the campuses by the sixties radicals, the academy has become a bastion of Marxism, multiculturalism and political correctness. Again, the radical innovators are the professors and administrators, and not the conservative students. When choosing to describe the battle for college campuses a "conservative revolution" I deliberately chose this phrase. Conservative students who revere Edmund Burke and Russell Kirk should be comfortable with this term. And those students who read Locke, Hayek and Rand should be equally comfortable in this description of our goal. When I called for the launching of a "conservative revolution" to take back our campuses from the grip of the far Left, I was not calling for the use of bullets, bombs nor the guillotine. Rather, I was calling for an intellectual battle that holds no punches, that seeks to tear down multiculturalism, political correctness and Marxism. In their place, I urge my fellow conservative "revolutionaries" to promote the ideas of Western Civilization, the great books, Judeo-Christian values, the free market and ordered liberty. Students should be organizing on campuses, starting clubs and newspapers, and hosting debates. The end game is not to destroy the institutions of higher education themselves. Rather, it is to destroy with the power of truth the failed ideologies of Marxism and collectivism, and return the campuses to an environment that upholds the ideas that have preserved Western Civilization. Nothing short of an intellectual and political revolution against entrenched Leftists on campuses will suffice. Therefore, I declare that the conservative revolution should continue to be the battle cry for conservative students everywhere.

David Horowitz's group, Students for Academic Freedom, has been having a lot of success the past year. I encourage all new SAF chapters to get a copy of The Conservative Revolution and use it to organize on their campus.Brendan Steinhauserhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735290.post-1157934078748718812006-09-10T20:18:00.000-04:002006-09-13T08:33:21.136-04:00Update: Accusations of bigotry

"Nevertheless, we have decided to disinvite Dr. Jensen. We do not want to jeopardize this conference which has always been such a wonderful opportunity for people to grow and learn. Have you ever attended one of the 18 conferences we have held? Perhaps we missed a great opportunity to evangelize Dr. Jensen. I hope he doesn't think that Catholics are closed minded and bigots."

Apparently some in the Diocese office are not too fond of me now.

They did not seem to pleased about the incident. They received dozens of calls and emails about this, and decided not to let Jensen speak to over 600 Catholics in the Diocese. Thanks to everyone for your support and ideas concerning this matter. Only by standing up to speak truth to power can we win in the battle for our culture. The discussion continues over at Free Republic. --- Some of you have written and asked about Dr. Jensen's specific comments on religion, abortion and homosexuality. Professor Jensen's article "Why I am a Christian, sort of" begins with the following statements:
"I don't believe in God. I don't believe Jesus Christ was the son of a God that I don't believe in, nor do I believe Jesus rose from the dead to ascend to a heaven that I don't believe exists… My decision to join a church was more a political than a theological act."

We appreciate your concern, and we do not want to make an issue of this. I will attend his presentation and expect him to stick to the topic of media. This is incredible to me. This is an officially sanctioned Church event. Sad, indeed.Brendan Steinhauserhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735290.post-1157602751555536622006-09-07T00:14:00.000-04:002006-09-08T11:11:40.946-04:00Catholic Church invites atheist, pro-abortion professor to speakIt is sad to report, but a local parish in the Victoria, Tx Diocese invited UT professor Robert Jensen to speak to the faithful at the end of the month. I have contacted the church office and informed them of Jensen's views on abortion and homosexuality, but they have not decided to cancel his appearance. I have initiated an email campaign to urge Catholics to call the parish and the diocese and ask why someone with his views would be invited to speak. I have not determined yet whether he will receive payment, nor whether the Bishop knows about his views. I will post updates as I get them.Brendan Steinhauserhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735290.post-1157488810294127682006-09-05T16:37:00.000-04:002006-09-05T17:05:04.650-04:00Armey going to IowaI already posted the story about Armey's trip to Iowa here. Here is the entry on ABC's The Note.  Dick Armey goes to Iowa You may have to get out your 2008 GOP scorecards and add another name to the mix. . . Well, maybe not just yet. But, former House Majority Leader Dick Armey (R-TX) is clearly displeased with the lack of attention being paid but the current crop of '08ers to fiscal issues such as Social Security solvency and a fundamental overhaul of America's tax policy. So, Dick Armey is heading to Iowa to "set the stage for what I think is a much needed, more serious real debate on the issues," said Armey in an exclusive interview with The Note. "I have absolutely no interest in Dick Armey as President, but the ideas are very important. . . And I don't see anybody out there right now who has taken on the big ideas," Armey said. "You never say never in politics," he added. Armey is the chairman of FreedomWorks, a grassroots issue-based organization, and it is in that role he will address "Iowans for Discounted Taxes" on September 19 in Des Moines, IA. Trips to New Hampshire and South Carolina are likely as well. On President Bush's Social Security effort, Armey said "He's so bogged down in the war, he did not give it the leadership attention he should have. I don't think you can mark that as a failure just because it didn't get done. . . It didn't get done because the President was so wrapped up with the war in Iraq that he didn't get the chance to spend the time on it and assert the leadership."Brendan Steinhauserhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735290.post-1157142162962812712006-09-01T16:18:00.000-04:002006-09-01T16:53:15.396-04:00Response to Professor Henson's commentsFirst, I appreciate Professor Henson's sense of humour. Here is my original article about the Professor who labeled SMU YCT the "KKK." Here is my response to his article in the SMU student newspaper: Look, we are engaged in a battle on college campuses for the hearts and souls of young people who vote, work for candidates, and eventually will make policy, influence public opinion and raise families. It is imperative that the ideas that made this nation great are defended. College campuses tend to be hotbeds of political discussions and activity, and are where the great books are not read, but should be. I fight hard to introduce students to the works of Ayn Rand, Russell Kirk, Frederic Bastiat and Milton Friedman because their professors refuse to do so. I teach students how to organize an "army" to do intellectual and political battle with Leftists because it's important that our ideas reach both the leaders and the masses. As for terrorist-sympathizing professors, David Horowitz has written extensively about their support for Hezbollah, Hamas and even al Qaeda. Finally, to the question of supporting the war against Islamic fascism and secular terror in Iraq and Afghanistan. Professor Henson should be glad, as a Leftist, that military decision-making and policy debates are not closed to civilians, but open to them. What about being a civilian disqualifies someone from commenting on foreign policy? We have a volunteer army, navy, coast guard and air force that operate with great skill and courage. I applaud them and support them at home precisely because I support their mission and am not overseas fighting alongside them in Iraq or Afghanistan. The war of public opinion at home is just as important as the war of bullets and bombs overseas. I think that most military commanders would agree with me on that point. I hope that my use of martial metaphors and my sense of urgency are now clearer to Professor Henson. I'd be happy to elaborate further on these and other points if he so desires.Brendan Steinhauserhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735290.post-1157141339731970642006-09-01T16:05:00.000-04:002006-09-01T16:09:24.076-04:00SMU Professor Calls me a Parvenu...I admit that I learned a new word today. A professor at SMU said that I was perhaps a "parvenu," one who is up-and-coming. It doesn't surprise me that a leftist professor used a word that is French in origin. Just kidding, professor Henson. The piece is here. Of course, having financial and organizational assistance from The Collegiate Network has to make things easier. Not to mention the invaluable input from a conservative warrior like Brendan Steinhauser, who penned the feature article in the debut issue. Conservative phenom (or parvenu), Steinhauser is a graduate of the University of Texas, former executive director of Young Conservatives of Texas and author of "The Conservative Revolution: How to Win the Battle for College Campuses."  Mr. Steinhauser, it seems, has a penchant for using militaristic metaphors, not to mention hyperbole. Everything is a battle or a war. Everything is epic or revolutionary. Everything is a casus belli. To Mr. Steinhauser Democrats are not merely liberals; they are 'leftists' waging war on the American way of life, which Mr. Steinhauser and his fellow 'protest warriors' are more than happy to let other men and women, mostly college-aged, die in Iraq to protect. Meanwhile, Steinhauser and his band of merry men fight make-believe battles raging on college campuses against would-be terrorist sympathizers disguised as mild-mannered college professors.  But enough about Mr. Steinhauser. I'm here to talk about conservatives--true conservatives.Brendan Steinhauserhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735290.post-1156899153811010812006-08-29T20:51:00.000-04:002006-08-29T20:52:33.826-04:00ISI Debate on ImmigrationVictor Davis Hanson laid out a great case for dealing with illegal immigration.

Want to know the enemy? Want to know their goals? Watch this propaganda video and you will understand why the terrorists kidnapped Western journalists in Gaza. The Washington Post has a story about the kidnapping here. The journalists were forced to indict the West for its "crimes" against Islam. They say that they were not forced to convert to Islam, but that Islam is the true religion for all times and all people. This is frightening stuff, and Americans should watch this video to understand the enemy we face. The Islamic fascists seek to convert the world to their sick ideology, and re-take their caliphate. Nothing less will satisfy their demented demands.Brendan Steinhauserhttp://email@example.com

How fanboys ruin the thing they love for other people. OR How did you become more annoying than a sparkling vampire?
The guy who makes the Oatmeal made a comic extolling the virtues of Tesla. Like a lot of comics it was full of exaggerations. Like most things involving Tesla, it demonized Thomas Edison and regurgitated a bunch of things that have long since proven to be not true. Or, as we say in my business, lies. Forbes called him on it. The Oatmeal made a very weak response. And he goes on about that goddamn elephant. The one they were going to kill anyway… the one that had already killed three people… and they'd fed a bunch of cyanide to before hitting the switch. And Edison didn't even flip the switch, or personally record the event.
And if Edison was a bastard (hint – he was actually) why is it never mentioned that Tesla was a nut?
In short, I get seriously irked when people tell me that Tesla invented everything that Leonardo DaVinci didn't invent. Mostly because, when you look into it… he didn't. He invented several things, a towering genius perhaps, but he didn't invent anything like the list his fanboys claim he did. Edison wasn't nearly as evil as Tesla fanboys (who need a villain for the story) claim he was. If you're lying to big your hero up, and put the other guy down YOU ARE STILL LYING! It does neither side any good when you lie. It makes people ignore everything you have to say. Even if this is just a comic, it's a comic trying to tell people about how Tesla was awesome and Edison was a dick.
If you're going to present facts, present facts. Otherwise, you will get called on it. Tesla was a great guy, a wonderful inventor, and a hell of a humanitarian that chose to save an entire company and all the people who worked for it instead of getting paid. The reason no one lauds Tesla like they're supposed to is because once they start looking into claims people make, they find out most of they were told is lies and exaggeration. After they discover that the death ray and the communication with aliens is a lie, and the radar story is at best an exaggeration, they will decide that he probably didn't really have anything to do with the electric motor. I've met a person that didn't believe he had anything to do with perfecting Alternating Current because, "The death ray is a lie, the aliens thing is a lie, the transporter is a lie, everything anyone says about the guy is a lie."
And that's sad, because it's the enthusiasm gone into overdrive for the thing they love that tends to push people who aren't already fans away. It killed Firefly, it harmed Star Trek severely for decades, and now it's ruining Tesla. And here we really come to my point, that fanboys have been slowly killing the things they love by driving people away. The internet has made this worse, because it focuses everyone into little bubbles where everyone agrees with them. That creates a slanted world view in which one side is the good guys and the other side is the bad guys and you are either on one side or the other. There is no middle ground between hating Twilight and being on Team Whoever… probably Abraham.
In fact, the guy writing the oatmeal makes the worst error possible. Near the end, he tells people they have to Pick a Side. NO! You don't have to pick a goddamn side you stupid arrogant fuck. You can, in fact, straddle the mighty chasm you've artificially created and admire things about both men while deploring things about both men. You don't have to drive away someone just because they admit there are things about Edison that they like. You can encourage learning about one man without having to tear the other down. In fact, it is that tear down that turns people off the most.
Again, allow us to talk about Twilight for a moment. On one side, you have people who pant after a sparkling vampire, on the other side you have these people who foam at the mouth and rant and rave about how horrible it is, how awful, how girls aren't smart enough not to act like Bella unless we burn all those worthless books that this evil Mormon bitch (not that you're a bigot mind) has wrought upon our world and smite the unbelievers.
The other side has a sparkling vampire. How did you become more annoying than a sparkling vampire? Seriously, take a good hard look at yourself and ask how you became more of an irritant to me than a vampire that… sparkles. That has to be one of the stupidest monster traits I have ever heard of, and you just got yourself pegged lower on the list than THAT! Come to think of it, the Jar-Jar haters become far more annoying than Jar-Jar ever was, because that movie only ran 2 hours where as the ranting goes on to this day.
We need to have a serious discussion about how the uber-fan and the anti-fan are hurting their own cause. So there should probably be a part two at some point.
