The day is now upon us, the BBC 6 Music Festival is taking over Tyneside for three days and what a packed line-up there is in store.
The news the event would be heading to Newcastle and Gateshead was revealed in January and ever since then excitement has been building for it to start.
Tickets for the Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights were snapped up within half an hour of going on sale and there was also great demand for tickets for the daytime events and the late night session at The Boiler Shop on Saturday night.
It was the job of the North East's own and 6 Music presenter Lauren Laverne to let the festival cat out of the bag and she's ecstatic to be bringing it to home turf.
"Newcastle is such a vibrant place when it comes to music and culture," she commented.
"It has been for years there's legends like Bryan Ferry and then exciting new acts like Frankie & The Heartstrings.
"And then there's the amazing independent art galleries and record shops.
"The region has done amazing well to get some of the huge gigs at the Stadium of Light but I'm hoping the festival will put places like Ouseburn on the map- that's my old stomping ground and an area I'm still so passionate about.
"I'm still trying to get my head round the lineup; it's absolutely amazing!"
So what can you expect to see if you've got a ticket? Here's a roundup.
The 6 Music Festival action will get going at the O2 Academy on Westgate Road shortly after 5pm with come back rockers Interpol, Scottish rockers Mogwai, BRIT nominees The War on Drugs, who also won BBC 6 Music's album of the year accolade for 2014, and America's Sleater Kinney.
The pace really picks up for the second day of the festival with a packed programme of events starting from 11am.
One of the day's big highlights is Tyne and Wear born Roxy Music frontman Bryan Ferry who will be speaking to Lauren Laverne at The Cluny, with the Ouseburn hotspot also hosting interviews with the likes of Hot Chip and a discussion panel featuring Maximo Park's Paul Smith, Ross Millard of Futureheads and Frankie and The Heartstrings, Beth Jeans Houghton, Nadine Shah and Field Music's David Brewis.
A short distance away at The Cumberland Arms, Mark Radcliffe will be hosting a day of folk, with performances from Marika Hackman, Songhoy Blues, Stornoway, Moulettes, Kings of the South Seas, 6 Music's Tom Robinson and Gerry Diver while The Star and Shadow will host a conversation with Everything But The Girl legends Ben Watt and Tracey Thorn.
The Saturday night action will see thousands of people descend on Sage Gateshead to enjoy performances from the likes of Hot Chip, Royal Blood, Simian Mobile Disco and local lads Maximo Park before revellers head over to The Boiler Shop.
Like Saturday, there's events happening all day long. The Boiler Shop will host performances from North East acts Shields, Tessera Skies, Yellow Creatures and Hyde and Beast on the BBC Introducing stage before the curtain comes down on the festival back at the Sage will star turns from the likes of The Charlatans, Neneh Cherry and Jamie T.

An object-oriented approach is recommended. At a minimum, when designing the code, each component should have one or more classes that encapsulates the desired functionality. There are many ways to design software. Here are a few techniques, but by no means an exhaustive list:
- Design it with simple concrete classes which provides the advantages of simple design, fast coding, easy to understand, and easy maintenance.
- Design with inheritance one or more layers down. Break functionality down with subclasses that use polymorphic calls. The advantage of this approach is that if properly designed, it can make the code easier to understand and maintain for larger projects. However, some studies have shown that going down more than 3 levels of inheritance is counterproductive.
- Design it with a concrete class that incorporates algorithms. The advantage to this approach is that less code usually needs to be written and a very elegant solution can sometimes be found. Variations of algorithms are data driven design and pre-calculating all of the possible outputs of a long-running algorithm, writing them out to a file, and reading them into an array or container in memory at the start of the program. The advantage of this approach is performance. The drawbacks are it is harder to understand, maintain, and code.

SBS Tanks™ is proud to announce that our flagship Zincalume water storage tank, the 3.3 Megalitre has been nominated for the prestigious Southern African Institute of Steel Construction (SAISC) Steel Awards 2013.
Why Our 3.3 Megalitre Liquid Storage Tank Was Nominated
The SAISC recently called for nominations for their prestigious Steel Awards 2013, the 32nd celebration of excellence in the use of structural steel by South African steelwork contractors. Jim Martin, from Martin and Associates Consulting Engineers, answered the general call for nominations whereby anyone can enter/nominate a project and the project will be accepted as an entry provided it satisfies the criteria of Steel Awards. Jim explains that he nominated the 3.3 Megalitre Zincalume water storage tank manufactured, supplied and installed by SBS Tanks™ because "It is something out of the ordinary from normal steel structures and presented a whole new perspective to design for all the varying conditions. Although we are not the first to ever manufacture sheet steel tanks, we pushed the boundaries a bit."
Martin and Associates Consulting Engineers and SBS Tanks™ worked together on this project developing a range of water storage tanks that have been engineered to withstand the harsh South African climate. Martin states "Our main interest was to refine certain design of elements to maximise efficiency of production. It is a great challenge to comply with the design criteria for varying site conditions, different countries/regions, production requirements and transportation (containerisation). It was exciting to work on something new and different to the everyday building structures."
How Large is a 3.3 Megalitre Zincalume Water Storage Tank?
The tank has a diameter of 21.16 meters and measures 9.39 meters high. The wall panels and roof sheets are made of steel that is hot dipped and coated with a molten alloy of 55% aluminum, 43.5% zinc and 1.5% silicon, commonly referred to by its trade name Zincalume®, thus rendering SBS Tanks™ highly resistant to corrosion.
About the South African Institute of Steel Construction (SAISC) Steel Awards
Reneé Pretorius SAISC Communications Consultant & Editor explains the process and details of being nominated and wining an award. "The judges decide on the categories each year as we receive a different 'mix' of entries each year, however we will always have a Light Steel Frame Building and a Tubular Structures category. To win a category award means that your project has satisfied the judges in terms of 'showing excellence in the use of steel' in a specific category. The judges use a long list of criteria and the project must excel in all of these (that are relevant to the category). A project will never win an award if there is a trace of poor workmanship even if the project fairs well in the other criteria. For members of the team, they not only receive a certificate but a tremendous amount of media exposure and prestige among their peers."
SBS Tanks™ Managing Director "Honoured to be nominated" for Steel Awards
Delayne Gray, SBS Tanks™ Managing Director feels honoured the SBS Tank™ has been nominated for this award. "Although this is our first nomination for these awards, we hope it is not our last. We aspire to add value and provide products of quality and excellence into our industry. We are extremely proud of our product and know it is worthy of this nomination and look forward to attend the award ceremony in celebration of this."

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) historically has had broad reach when scrutinizing an employer's company policies; however, two recent memorandums set a new standard in determining whether company policies violate the National Labor Relations Act, which prohibits employers from "restraining, coercing, or interfering with" employees who are attempting to improve working conditions.
Over the last decade, facially neutral policies, including Social Media, Cell Phone and Pay policies have been deemed illegal, if they are overly restrictive and unlawfully interfere with the exercise of rights protected by the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA).
The previous standard was set by the Lutheran Heritage Village-Livonia, 343 NLRB 646 (2004), which found that workplace rules that do not explicitly prohibit protected activities, were not adopted in response to such activities, and were not applied to restrict such activities, if the rules would be "reasonably construed" by an employee to prohibit the exercise of NLRA rights.
In a recent decision in The Boeing Company, 365 NLRB No. 154 (Dec. 14, 2017), the NLRB set a new standard for determining when a work rule violates the Act. The Board eliminated the first aspect of Lutheran Heritage Standard, and replaced it with a new standard that balances the policy's negative impact on employees' rights under the act and an employers' right to maintain discipline and productivity in their workplace.
The Board's new test will evaluate if:
- the nature and extent of the potential impact on NLRA rights, and
- legitimate justifications associated with the rule.
The Board also provided guidance to offer greater clarity and certainty to employees, employers, and unions.
According to the NLRB:
- Category 1 will include rules that the Board designates as lawful to maintain, either because (i) the rule, when reasonably interpreted, does not prohibit or interfere with the exercise of NLRA rights; or (ii) the potential adverse impact on protected rights is outweighed by justifications associated with the rule. Examples of Category 1 rules are the no-camera requirement maintained by Boeing, and rules requiring employees to abide by basic standards of civility. Thus, the Board overruled past cases in which the Board held that employers violated the NLRA by maintaining rules requiring employees to foster "harmonious interactions and relationships" or to maintain basic standards of civility in the workplace.
- Category 2 will include rules that warrant individualized scrutiny in each case as to whether the rule would prohibit or interfere with NLRA rights, and if so, whether any adverse impact on NLRA-protected conduct is outweighed by legitimate justifications.
- Category 3 will include rules that the Board will designate as unlawful to maintain because they would prohibit or limit NLRA-protected conduct, and the adverse impact on NLRA rights is not outweighed by justifications associated with the rule. An example would be a rule that prohibits employees from discussing wages or benefits with one another.
While the Board held that maintaining certain rules may be permitted under the law, solely applying those rules to employees who have engaged in protected concerted activity may violate the Act, if the application of these rules is found to be retaliatory.
The Board recently applied this new standard in a decision in The Boeing Company, 365 NLRB No. 154 (Dec. 14, 2017), finding that Boeing lawfully maintained a no-camera rule that prohibited. Although, the Board ascertained that the rule could negatively impact employee NLRA rights, the impact was not significant and did not outweigh, comparatively, business justifications, such as national security concerns.
The new standard is discussed in greater detail here.

I wrote wrapper macros to achieve this to minimize code (and code copying).
My problem is that although these macros work fine as long as the label (text) does not
contain a , (comma) because thisÿ leads to a wrong number of arguments. (No surprise.)
Say, the macro has 3 arguments where the last argument defines the label, as
\mgoutputlabel[A,B,x_0^2]; works fine, but
\mgoutputlabel{A,B,D = (x_0,\;y_0)] does not work (error message issued), so I tried
\mgoutputlabel[A,B,D = (x_0\,\;y_0)] where the macro outputs the label without issuing an
error message, but the label output is D = (x_0 y_0) with the , ignored.
Anyway to fix this? I would like to get the output D = (x_0, y_0).)
The attached file contains the a simple complete case to illustrate this.
Your best,

Another Lazy Sunday . . .
We went to game night last night for the first time in a long while and had a ton of fun! We played "Cranium" and "Partini", and we didn't get home until after 2 a.m.! We did, however skip our workouts and drank alcohol, so I felt pretty guilty about that. I'm still pretty tired and doubt I'll make up my missed workout today. Naughty, naughty.
Oh! The Mr. spent several hours assembling a gazebo yesterday. It looks great, but it's too close to the Florida room door. He's outside moving it now, but said he'll be headed out to get a light for it. He's so great with that kind of thing . . . Gotta love him!
Well, it's time for church. That is all.

a conversation on contemporary Hebrew poetics with Zali Gurevitch[1]
This interview first appeared in the Full Stop Quarterly, Issue #6.
& what i was saying was i think there is something in common & the common
thing is a certain root in poetic modernism in the sense that there is a shift twd something around us or beside us or to language itself or to earth or to a certain social thing or but its all some kind of diversion from from centering or focusing on on expressing or understanding oneself even tho this is also you know you cannot without
it & maybe this is the first motive but but the poetic eh you know what you focus on what you you you in hebrew to pay attention which in english is pay attention you have to be in tension you have to be tense so you you pay -at- tension this is what you do you have to focus yrself & be tense but in hebrew it's to put yr heart tasim lev where do you put yr heart? putting yr heart some where so the poetic shift is where you put yr heart
yr heart is yr heart but the question is it's not that it's not about yr heart its about yr heart! but you put yr heart some where else you cannot put yr heart in yr heart & the heart you know if this is what if this is what what's coming up the heart as in english as in hebrew the heart is not just the center of emotion but the heart is the middle term like being in the middle you can say "the heart of the sea" in hebrew you can say "the heart of the matter" ha-ikar the heart of the matter yes I know you can say "the heart of the matter" lev ha inyan & you can say but you can say im im or "the shout was to the heart of the sky" ad lev ha shamayim so it's the middle its not some point it's just the middle of where the action is where things happen where you feel it where it aches where it comes from you know that's the heart the heart as a as a as a a more as a more abstract notion but still very concrete right in terms of body sure corporeal but yet abstract yeah so even this the focus the self- focus is yeah already in the middle you cannot pinpoint it & i think this something that is common to some of us there is this plurality that there is diversion from self to that which is around it's &- then the thing is not to express yrself even tho it's a part of the game because you cannot without it this -it is the fuel but but with that fuel y're trying to you are trying to make sense of all this put things together pull things a-part put yr heart put yr heart put yr heart here put yr heart there where is the heart? put yrself where the heart is or whatever you know but it's it's again it's a play sure it's a shift sure there's no narrative no there's no story no- no one-line story that begins here & goes there there's no clear ech omrim how to say addressee yeah receiver yeah receiver's end it's not the beloved not the people not you know something sure yeah something that's more the first book you read or the first poem yeah the first book was i think ar'ah[2] so that's seventy-nine yeah probably yes probably yeah but ar'ah was & you found it in a bookstore or you because he was in a different group than you of course
i mean you were with maya[3] no no no that's not the story first of all did you already know him? or did you meet him after? cause i never asked you that actually i've never known how you first inter- acted the fact is that I can't remember when was the first time but already in the 80s in the early 80s i'm trying to sortof bring back the pieces & trying to see what what cd be how did it all begin? What i remember is i mean there was the the tel aviv thing i was living in Jerusalem at the time very much so that is tel aviv was a foreign place for me & in tel aviv there was achshav[4] there was this group around a journal a literary journal achshav so maya was a part of that & at at a certain point four of the youngsters we were in our early-thirties late-twenties early-thirties so we we were given a a sortof a chance to to edit one one issue of achshav by ourselves that was some group there but we didn't even know what exactly we had in common but something around achshav & around you know each one was starting to pave her way & but in Jerusalem the interesting meeting was with shabtai[5] in the early 80's & he was a part of the jerusalemite group not really one of them but very close to them to amichai & schimmel & dennis & sachs[6] & what's that group there wasn't a name neither the jerusalem circle something like that but there was one there was one one piece of criticism & it was written by nissim calderon & it addressed all of them from amichai to aharon five of them it addressed i don't remember exactly if he named all of them & it was titled all the business of this jerusalemite sweetness kol ha inyan ha-yerushalmi ha-matok ha-zeh[7] zeh haya ha shem shel ha maamar ken this was the title of the essay so he was he was trying to make a a a sortof a distinction between poets in tel aviv & poets in jerusalem
& all this with other things you know thru that i i got to know schimmel cause
from the early-80s i mean when when did we move? we moved into this apartment in jerusalem in '83 i think '83 or so '83 or '84 when we just moved suddenly we had like five rooms even tho some of them were small & one of them we used to our own surprise as a dining room like a separate room for dining & the kitchen was like two rooms up & we enjoyed so much the idea that we had a dining room that we used to you know we enjoyed you know having people over & making & celebrating the dining room by using it this was in the greek colony in the greek colony in an old arab house with a round front you know built from stone very beautiful & special unique & for us for what we had at the time this was really like a break-thru for us & i remember that we had dinners that you know we prepared with shimmel & varda & aharon & colleen we wd sit around the table six of us which means that we were already befriended to a point where we cd you know so probably it's like something like forty years almost forty years more no exactly forty years ago & what about gabi?[8] gabi I remember more clearly cause gabi was a psychology student at the time he was doing this when i first met him he was doing his masters in psychology in clinical psychology in jerusalem & a good friend of mine knew him & talked about him & we were very young like twenty-five say & he introduced us & i understood gabi told me that he is doing poetry he is writing he is doing this & he is doing that & he is living in motza but not in motza in ein karem[9] & in ein karem he lives in a house just outside ein karem no electricity out there with his wife maria & one day on saturday we got a car from yuti's brother to use which was again something extraordinary for us that we had a car that we cd just go anywhere it was different times then you know so this car was a small used car like an old car called contessa & we took the contessa & i remember that we were sitting yuti & myself let's say & saying like where are we going to go? & I brought the idea let's go to ein karem let's go & visit gabriel but no telephone they had no telephone so you had his address? no he told me probably where it was yeah it was not just out there in the middle of nowhere no it was on the edge of ein karem but it was like on a hill & it looked it overlooked a valley & so she said OK so we drove there & we just appeared at the door & gabi & maria they were they were i think we met them first at some party if i remember correctly thru these guys there was little roger & big roger & little roger big roger he's still still he's still some businessman in america he just visited gabi after all these years & little roger was some guy he was macrobiotic macrobiotic was the thing at that time the thing for those priests of health & those preachers of herbs but not the kind not our herbs & he prepared food he was a friend of maria & gabi who were also macrobiotics gabriel levin was also macrobiotic which you can understand because in some ways he's macrobiotic to this day & maria was skinny as a thread & they were eating from little roger such wonderful food the first time i ate such food macrobiotic food seeds OK so we went there & gabi & maria prepared & we started it was in an old arab house i remember the living room was was arched & we were sitting there i don't think there were chairs it was only mattresses & we were sitting on the mattresses
& they prepared macrobiotic food & this was the first time that I heard the names of olson & ashbery[10] & i had no idea what wd i know? so that was from gabi & gabi started telling me at that time was telling me about these poets & what they are doing & this was this was let's say '76 '77 something like this cause
he started telling me & I started reading i don't remember how
I got the book maybe gabi got me the book or lent it to me i started & then i started translating self-portrait in a convex mirror[11] & when i started doing that shimon sandbank & ruth nevo who was a professor of english of shakespeare at the university & robert friend[12] & there was another one & they also heard that there is a guy this poet in new york called john ashbery & that he is writing & everybody is talking about him but they don't understand what's going on & & so & I was translating it & i was struggling with the english the english the english- my english at that time was not was much much poorer than it is today i mean as far as for sure as far
as translation of poetry goes so i needed i needed help in understanding the phrases especially ashbery phrases sometimes you know the way they waver & move any way so we formed a group of people who were interested in ashbery's poetry & we started reading self-portrait in convex mirror & then i published this book in achshav not the whole thing but the poem self portrait in a convex mirror & some other individual poems from the book & then they did a volume & gabriel & myself we together wrote an intro so this came out in 1982 so you can see that the whole thing it's a silver book almost a mirror exactly a mirror! ata roeh az yesh kan you see there is here at the beginning so they did it the magazine put out the book achshav & i think that i mean this was like you know when we were like from twenty-five to thirty-five something like this & I think that yeah then there was shirley kaufman[13] was around if you want to go there yeah you know this is the this is sortof the the mostly american or english-speaking world in jerusalem & it was part it was a side-part but it was a part of my let's say poetic upbringing & thru it thru gabi at the beginning gabi was my my introducer i mean he introduced to me that world that I knew little about & it's interesting because if you go far far back yeah if we consider what we know is the hebrew literature that remained sure this is what we have in hebrew there are canaanite things but i mean hebrew is hebrew itself
itself is among the semitic languages semitic languages & among the semitic languages it is a new language for us it's ancient & it's ancient yeah i mean in our terms but but it's actually a young it's actually a young ` a young one which means it evolved from basically from canaanite language which means that it is a canaanite language it's one of the branches of canaanite languages which also ech omrim how to say adopted or imported or absorbed other languages around absorbed or fused with but fused with it's not fused with because it's fused into it's like a human being like a human being self absorbed is a good word something that absorbs something that infiltrates whether you like it or not but do we have poetry in those proto-hebrew languages? it's also you know what we have what do we know what's poetry or not? & also in the bible as far as the bible goes there's a question you know even tho we can intuitively say what they considered poetry & what they did not consider poetry & what we now consider poetry but there are in the bible the first that we know the earliest poems which are evidently poems because they have a very specific beat & they sometimes rhyme & they use poetic parlance like for example the song of deborah
considered to be the oldest hebrew text & how far does it go? how far back does it go? i mean there are there is if you want to take a much clearer example for example there is a psalm a specific psalm which is exactly an old hymn to ra to the egyptian sun god but exactly like almost one-to-one & this is also the song of songs for instance there the amazing thing is i mean if y're looking for if y're looking for like pre-hebrew hebrew like where does it come from? so there is there is a magnificent example where in the history of the song of songs shir ha shirim which means at what point in time before the poem was written is there some some thing that the poem echoes or uses which is antecedent to it until today like how the song of songs has gone thru different versions of interpretation or the earliest thing is this writing a hieroglyphic writing which was which was found in egypt in a pyramid from i think if i'm right the 27th or 28th century bc meaning that if the poem if song of songs is believed to have been written in the 3rd century bce so we are talking something like 2000 years before song of songs something an echo is found & the thing is they found on the inner wall of the pyramid behind where the the mummy of pharaoh was placed a writing in hieroglyphic letters signs which had no meaning in egyptian & they looked for many years for someone who cd solve the riddle & the latest i heard there was a an article an essay written both in hebrew & in english by a professor an egyptologist & philologist etc from jts or yeshiva university & he interprets this as an ancient gevalian text from the city of gebal which was a city now at the northern shore where lebanon is it's somewhere between tyre & sarafand there there was a people called gebal & this gebal people their language was proto-canaanite & the way he he interprets it is that there was commerce going on between egypt & gebal & gebal the gebalians wd go in caravans of camels or who knows & they wd carry with them things that were found in lebanon lebanon of today that is of course which was glass that is they produced glass from the sand by the sea & also they cd produce from snails they wd produce color especially the color we call today either purple or light-blue tchelet & actually this purple or light-blue
is the meaning of the word canaanite & also phoenician they are named by the colors they created by their production of color so their tribe was called tchelet because they produced tchelet what we later use in tzitzit[14] but it's that color it's that color or maybe it's a range between that color & purple & it's directly related to hebrew it passes in yeah but the story here is that when they moved the caravans that made the commerce the merchants who wd go they had a shaman with them they had a holy man with them & the egyptians in order to have magic spells that worked they believed as we also believe today it's like all the israelis who are are are saying god forbid but god doesn't forbid! when they are saying kaddish[15] so they are using they are using aramaic & the aramaic of the kaddish makes it much more mysterious & because it's mysterious & because it's foreign maybe it is made powerful there is a magic thru it so they used the magician the egyptians the shaman to write but in hieroglyphic
transliteration a canaanite or gebalian spell in this there is the hymn now he gives the whole hymn he translates the hymn whether it's the true translation or not but it's a hymn there is a continuity & there the story that unfolds is that the speaker the one that utters the hymn is a mother snake & her name in gebalian is oom-reer-reer oom is like em is like mother & reer is in hebrew saliva or you know spit but it's also it comes down spittle like a dog spit saliva in mouth so it's reer oom reer but it also means the poison of the snake of the snake's venom the venom of the snake so it means both the saliva & the venom or you say now you have reer when y're very hungry & you see see food so you merayer to salivate in hebrew yeah right it has an animalistic tone yeah so it's oom-reer-reer the mother of & the mother is actually talking to her two lovers who are the guardians of the tomb & they are called dodim which are the lovers in the song of songs & she is calling her sons
the young snakes to come back to her that she will swallow them up so that they will not sting the corpse of the pharaoh so she defends the pharaoh the mother defends the father against the bitings of the little children the little snakes & she invites them into her & somehow & the whole hymn is an unfolding of this now in this thing in this thing it says yet dodi which yet means also in modern hebrew divert yr way or or to come to come to me yet y'dodi is come visit me so it's the same verb nata & yet & yet is another way of saying it it's like it's an invitation yet in shir ha-shirim it says brach dodim its the same expression different meaning but same expression so the idiom comes from 2000 years before song of songs from gebal it's a gebalian spell interestingly gebal it's another connection a whole other connection which is not associative it's historical
geval was a port where they the egyptians wd & from which the egyptians wd wd import how do you say ech omrim in english papyrus papyri so the egyptians wd export the papers the leaves the papyrus leaves export them to gebal & from gebal the greeks wd import them to greece now they gave the name the greek name for gebal is byblos & this was the name that was given to the bible
which is written on the paper which is the papyrus which came thru egypt thru
gebal now i know that you know that i know that you know where it comes from so there is a lot about breaking up the surface like creating a surface & breaking it up & the surface is I'll give you another example a metaphor that bialik[16] uses even tho he was not yet conscious of the modernist thinking in the western context not the kind that we begin with but he says what is the difference between prose & poetry? in gilui v'khisui b'lashon revealment & concealment in language[17] exactly the glacier & the ice flow so when he is talking about the flow it's breakage of the surface which is totally modernist & by breaking enjambment breaking the line & making a kind of jazz beat that is not ordered & it's like do do do di do & it gives a sense of arbitrariness & break-dance or the dance of the break but in bialik the thing is that it is in the language in bialik when you leap from one flow to another the basic thing is that the chasm is flickering from below & that flickering from below has to be felt even when the surface is the main thing that's the heart now when you use that y're on the surface when you don't use that it flickers & that that tap dance that crawling ache there is an arm's length you see that to write selflessly in a way like an anti-lyric or as olson called it that lyrical disruption of poetry but this is also its a way also to understand
the running to see what the running is isn't that the question is whether you are running because the selfless poetics makes you reject or despise even the self or the nefesh soul but when it's there you can have a poetics against it but when it's there what do you do with it? when it flickers what do you do? with the flickering do you say nahhhh that's not in my vein or do you use it as fuel & acknowledge it & that's the code of the poem maybe because when y're doing jews & anti-semites & i'm saying do in an american vein do as in doing poetry doing drugs all pragmatics but in the pragmatics in the doing of it has to be only & in yr poem maybe when a prophet writes it's different but but when you write a modernist poem or post-modernist say it has to be a-part of some
thing that justifies it & that something has to come from a & flicker all the time
snippets like one snippet after the other & whatever you mean by it it's running now run thru it this is the most difficult thing because usually what we want to do when we want to pass from one thing to another we want to grow up we want to change we want to i don't know you know improve so we think we can make a a crossing of the river let's call it by moving from one bank to the other so that actually we overlook by building a bridge or even by going by boat we are actually resisting the river if we are doing a bridge it's like OK now we walk as if there is no rivier but if you cross the river along the river from source to source the delta the mouth where the river pours into the sea kol henechalim holchim el a hayam vehayam eneinu maleh all the streams go to the sea & the sea is not full that means to cross life along to cross time along you cannot go from bank to bank cause time has no banks & in that matter you have to run thru along the running & not saying no I'm getting the running out of my thing it's how to run how to run yr business like a matter of manners there is also another aspect if we are in the direction of crossing the river along the river because when you cross the river a-long the river you are going fwd & always the power of the stream is created anew & you also & this is the way our minds work i think y're going fwd & sometimes you forget yrself but usually yre also going backward twd the source in order to understand or even to run yr business the right way you've got to understand where you come from & where y're going meayn ata ba ul'an ata holech that's the running but the thing is the running is also the notion of trance the notion of trance is for me critical to understanding any creation any kind of poetics because nevermind now what I am connecting is i think what happens in poetry or music is some form of transfiguration so there is the notion of transfiguration something that happens now in the kitchen cooking you can almost hear a free beat to it the notion of transfiguration where we have figure that's the frame we have the figure & we have the trance now the figure is a form that's already molded it has boundaries it's structured somehow it has features but the trance has nothing trance is a state without figure it's formless it's movement & the trance comes thru the figure & the figure without trance is dead so the whole notion is how to transfigure language how to transfigure the thing into words how to transfigure the word from everyday speech where it's just functional into something that trances you that you have a trance when uttering the word & the root of trance which is sanskrit for crossing the river the sound of the rudder whatever the thing is that the running is effective when it's descriptive of the process of transfiguration & the question is where is the source at every line & especially along the poem the source is that which flickers it can be hinted at for example in orpheus's gaze if you've read blanchot[18] orpheus the poet the archetype of poet who keeps on singing after his head is severed from his body & his head floats on the river & keeps on singing what is orpheus famous for? for looking back that looking back that gaze back & the absurdity of it & the fact that he loses everything by looking back he loses the dearest love his whole mission which was actually to save & salvage from the depth of death etc but he cannot not look back & the looking back is exactly twd the source it's the heart of it that's the heart of it & it doesn't matter which source & it's not one source but sources because the source is the other because y're born & whatever you hear & yr language is from the other & who cares for you is the other is yr mother & father who are the other
but the thing is at that moment when you absorb that other & you are because the source is also a fountain the source is also the source of the river spring ma zeh maayan kval in yiddish like gebal but keval bidiyuk bidiyuk exactly this is the spring so you drink from the spring but in order to drink from the spring you must yrself be a spring because the drinker is also a spring a spring of drinking not a spring of issuing water of emitting water or speech or music or whatever so it means in the context of what we are saying now that you can have a trance in one word it can be erotic it can be funny it can be serious it can be a comment about hebrew it can be a comment about desire it can be anything in one word you can have a trance if it works it can be just a sound it can be a sound but it has to have the flicker if it doesn't have the flicker it doesn't have the shake the transfiguration the shiver.

The Red Balloon
Here's a French film from the 1950s that I remember vaguely watching as a child. This short film from Albert Lamorisse is probably one of the most famous children's films of all time.
Animation, Comic Books, Media and Other Random Stuff
Here's a French film from the 1950s that I remember vaguely watching as a child. This short film from Albert Lamorisse is probably one of the most famous children's films of all time.
On Tuesday I saw Kung Fu Panda 2. I enjoyed the film a great deal, but I'd have to say that the original film is a bit better. I love Jack Black but think that James Hong as Po's father Mr Ping is hilarious.
One thing I thought was interesting was the use of 2D animation in different parts (mainly flashbacks) of the film.
Peter Falk has passed away at the age of 53. 'P' and I used to love watching episodes of Columbo on TV1 on Foxtel together. Columbo was one of those great characters. He had a lot of good movie roles in films such as It's a Mad Mad Mad World, The Great Race, and Murder By Death and of course The Princess Bride.
This excellent documentary by Leslie Iwerks (grand-daughter of Ub) is about the legendary animation pioneer Ub Iwerks, the man who not only created Mickey Mouse and single-handedly animated the mouses' first few cartoons, but made so many other technical contributions to movie making in general. This documentary was included as an extra on the Walt Disney Treasures' Oswald The Lucky Rabbit dvd box set.
The documentary rightly concentrates mostly on Ub's contribution to animation, thoroughly examining his first meeting with Walt Disney, his work on Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, Mickey Mouse and the Silly Symphonies, and then his branching out onto his own away from Disney. It gives a fascinating insight into the animation industry at its beginning, and about the relationship between Ub and Walt. It also examines the underhanded way that Charles Mintz stole Oswald and most of Disney's animators from Walt, although with the exception of Hugh Harmon, none of these other animators (Rudy Ising and Friz Freleng) are mentioned.
One thing that I was a little disappointed with was the way in which it skipped hurriedly through the technical innovations Iwerks made, such as the development of the multiplane animation camera, developing the processes for combining live action and animation, the xerographic process adapted for cel animation, the work he did to develop the rides at Disneyland, and the special effects work he did on Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds. These are mentioned briefly but get nowhere near as much time as his animation career does.
Overall it is a great documentary with a lot of information about one of the greats of animation. It is narrated by Kelsey Grammer and is a must watch for anyone who is interested in how the Disney story all began.
And while I am reviewing movies that I have seen recently I may as well review the latest installment of Pirates of the Caribbean, On Stranger Tides. I saw this about a month or so ago wiuth 'P', on the day it was released in cinemas. The best thing that I can say about the film is that it is much better than parts two and three but still nowhere as good as the original Pirates of the Caribbean. It's always good to see Johnny Depp playing Captain Jack Sparrow and I do like Geoffrey Rush as Captain Barbossa and Penelope Cruz as Angelica. Whilst the film is at times quite exciting it is rather over-long and a bit silly. It's still enjoyable, if only for Depp and Cruz, but it is not as great as the original film.
"I would like to say a few words about weddings. I've just been through one. Not my own. My daughter's. Someday in the far future I may be able to remember it with tender indulgence, but not now. I always used to think that marriages were a simple affair. Boy meets girl. Fall in love. They get married. Have babies. Eventually the babies grow up and meet other babies. They fall in love. Get married. Have babies. And so on and on and on. Looked at that way, it's not only simple, it's downright monotonous. But I was wrong. I figured without the wedding."
The other night I watched the Spencer Tracy/Elizabeth Taylor version of Father of the Bride. I thought it was very funny, especially Spence as the father Stan, who was losing his little girl to her new husband. I though that his dialogue was very witty and you could empathise with his feelings about his now grown up daughter.
"You fathers will understand. You have a little girl. She looks up to you. You're her oracle. You're her hero. And then the day comes when she gets her first permanent wave and goes to her first real party, and from that day on, you're in a constant state of panic."
Elizabeth Taylor is stunningly beautiful as Kay, Stan's only daughter who is about to be married off. Much credit has to be given to Vincent Minelli's direction, as when we see Kay in her wedding dress in three mirrors no less, she is just gorgeous. But Tracy is the real standout in the film. He brings great warmth, wit and empathy to the role of Stan. Some of the little one-liners that he made had me chuckling out loud. I think I prefer this version to the Steve Martin film from the 1990s.
I am a sucker for animal documentaries, although I am not such a big fan of those on Animal Planet for some reason. I do like the old school Disney documentaries from the True Life Adventure series. This film, which was released in American on April 22nd (Earth Day) won't be released in Australia until August. By that time it should already be available from Amazon on DVD.
And in 2012 more cute African animals will hit the screen with Disney's Chimpanzee.
I also did not know that my birthday is also Earth Day.

There is a lot of money in online marketing if it is approached intelligently. There are practically endless means to start a company on the Internet, but all of them take a measurable amount of time. If you are like many adults, you do not have a lot of time, so you need to make sure you are spending every minute wisely. This article contains several ways to quickly and efficiently get your business seen.
You can improve your website marketing by starting a blog and posting to it frequently. A blog is a great way to communicate with customers, and notify them of things such as new products. A blog is a great addition to your website. It adds variety. The blog encourages people to visit your website frequently in order to see your new insights, anecdotes or stories. It may also help attract search engines.
Be knowledgeable when it comes to your competitors. Hop on over to their site and look at what they're doing. You will be able to ascertain their visitor numbers, and this will give you a good comparison point for your own site.
The first step in Affiliate marketing is to develop a website that makes a statement. There are billions of websites, so if yours looks like all the others, you won't make many sales. A simple way to do this, is by highlighting a special service that you offer.
Whenever possible, avoid using AJAX and Flash on your website. Although it can help appearances on your site, it has no positive impact when it comes to increasing your search engine results. If you want to use Flash or Java script, integrate these elements in your page and use strong keywords to describe this content.
It's not imperative to spend thousands of dollars on a marketing consultant. A quick search on the internet can offer many free resources to help you with your marketing needs. Consider joining up with an online forum, groups in your hometown, or borrowing books from your local library.
Give your customers the appearance that they are in complete control of the content being delivered. This is important today in a marketing world full of spam and unwanted opinions. Be clear that their participation is optional and you will increase your credibility.
Internet promotion will go more smoothly for you if you create a viral video. Also, make sure you always include a link to your site in the description area of the video. You can significantly increase your website traffic by using this strategy.
If regular emails to customers and potential customers are part of your Internet promotion strategy, make sure to rotate the links you include in your emails. It is all too easy for customers to no longer even see the links that become too familiar.

The Brewster fire station project has received the stamp of approval from voters. The Town of Brewster held a special election on December 1 and the project passed.
Of the 7,654 eligible voters in town, only 1,470, or 20%, showed up at the special town election.
A new fire station hasn't been the easiest project for Brewster residents to support. The initial proposal to demolish the existing fire station and build a new one was knocked down by voters in 2014. Since then, the town's Building and Needs Assessment Committee has continued to rework the specs and attempt to garner support from Brewster voters for the revised $13M+ project.
The project passed Monday by only 26 votes, with 748 residents voting yes and 722 residents voting no.

Universal, Fox Film Ads Checked for Kids' Suitability
The Children's Advertising Review Unit referred cable-TV commercials for Universal Pictures' The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor and 20th Century Fox's The Rocker to trade group the Motion Picture Association of America for review.
CARU questioned if the ads for the two PG-13 films were in age-appropriate TV slots.
The Mummy ad ran during Nick Toons Avatar: The Last Airbender, and the ad for Rocker was telecast several times on Cartoon Network.
CARU's Self-Regulatory Program for Children's Advertisingstates that advertisers "should take care to assure that only age-appropriate videos, films and interactive software are advertised to children, and if an industry rating system applies to the product, the rating label is prominently displayed."

MoDOT Adds Highway 50 and Route 131 Project into Statewide Transportation Improvement Program
The Missouri Department of Transportation announced they will be adding a J-Turn project for Highway 50 and Route 131 in Johnson County to the Statewide Transportation Improvement Project next month.
After conducting a scoping study over the summer, MoDOT engineers concluded that J-turns were the safest solution to reduce or eliminate crashes at this intersection. The project will cost approximately $1.5 to $2 million and is expected to be under construction summer 2017.
The department has added several safety features already to the area to warn approaching motorists of cross route traffic, including intersection warning signs, flashing yellow light and offset lefts (installed in 2011) to facilitate safer left turns.
J-Turns were used on Highway 50 and Route 58 two years ago, a similar intersection that had 28 crashes from 2010 to 2014. Since they were installed in 2014, there have been zero reported crashes.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) voted last week to start dismantling 2015 rules that regulated internet service providers the same way as utilities. So what does that mean for your internet access"http://www.livescience.com/32847-what-is-net-neutrality-and-why-should-you-care.html">net neutrality. Net neutrality is the framework for an internet in which all data is treated equally. For example, a provider such as Comcast can't throttle back Netflix's streaming speeds because Netflix's video content competes with its cable offerings. Nor can a company block legal websites or apps, or require them to pay extra for a broadband boost. [6 Politicians Who Got the Science Wrong]
Net neutrality advocates argue that the regulations on internet service providers (ISPs) enacted under President Barack Obama's administration are necessary to ensure that providers don't try any of these strategies. Meanwhile, advocates of Thursday's FCC decision — including FCC Director Ajit Pai — argue that market forces and alternative rules could keep the internet neutral, and that the current FCC regulations stifle innovation.
Here's how we got here.
The net-neutrality debate is perhaps the biggest internet argument of all, and it's been going on since the late 1990s. In 1996, Congress passed the Telecom Act, leading the FCC to classify cable broadband providers as "information services" rather than "telecommunications services," which would have been subject to stricter regulation.
The FCC did, however, want to do some regulating. In 2010, it passed the Open Internet Order, which prohibited ISPs from blocking, throttling or offering paid prioritization. Blocking is cutting off access to legal websites, devices or apps; throttling is degrading the service to certain devices, websites or apps so as to render them unusable; and paid prioritization is offering sites, apps or device-makers the opportunity to pay for a speed boost for their traffic.
Net-neutrality advocates argue that without these rules, large, established companies will dominate the web, while startups without the cash to pay for access will struggle. Without regulation, ISPs could also block content from a particular political position or point of view, stymying free speech.
Unfortunately for the FCC, Comcast challenged the rules over whether the provider could slow down traffic through BitTorrent, peer-to-peer sharing software used to transfer large files like movies or audio clips.
In 2010, a federal appeals court ruled in that case that the FCC didn't have the authority to regulate ISPs such as Comcast. The FCC formalized the order as rules, but that workaround didn't fly in court either: In 2014, a lawsuit by Verizon also ended with the court ruling that the agency had overstepped its boundaries by trying to regulate ISPs as if they were old-fashioned phone companies, or "common carriers."
That ruling set the stage for the last net-neutrality fight in 2015. At the time, the Obama White House came out strongly advocating for reclassifying ISPs as common carriers — essentially, as utilities. The FCC under then-Chairman Tom Wheeler ended up taking this route, reclassifying ISPs under the auspices of Title II of the Communications Act of 1934, which was originally designed to regulate radios, telegraphs and telephones.
So far, the courts have given the Title II classification the nod. But now, with the FCC under new leadership, the debate is back.
On May 18, the FCC voted 2-1 to review the 2015 rules— the first step in the process of repealing and replacing them. Pai called the Obama-era regulations "a bureaucratic straitjacket," according to NPR.
What's not clear is what the replacement would be. There are several options, said Larry Downes, an internet industry analyst and co-author of "Big Bang Disruption: Strategy in the Age of Devastating Innovation" (Portfolio, 2014). The federal appeals court that previously struck down the FCC's non-Title II attempts to regulate ISPs suggested the agency try Section 706 of the Telecommunications Act, which focuses on broadband access but is not as comprehensive as Title II. That would be one option for removing the utility-like regulations but keeping net neutrality, Downes told Live Science.
However, many net-neutrality advocates think Section 706 isn't strong enough to ensure a neutral internet. [How Big Is the Internet, Really?]
"[S]ection 706 doesn't stand on the solid legal foundation of Title II when it comes to treating internet access providers as common carriers," Timothy Karr, a spokesman for the nonprofit Free Press, which advocates for net neutrality, wrote in an email to Live Science. "Title II has withstood several court challenges to that end. We don't believe section 706 would withstand such scrutiny."
Another possibility is that the FCC will revert back to the pre-2010 status quo, Downes said. Many advocates argue that this would be disastrous for the free flow of data online, but Downes disagrees. Between 1996 and 2015, there was only one court case over an alleged violation of net neutrality, Downes said. (That was the peer-to-peer file sharing Comcast case that killed the FCC's first attempt at regulation.)
"The reason it didn't happen was, the Federal Trade Commission was on the job," Downes said. "It's illegal to discriminate in terms of how we manage internet traffic if you are doing it for anti-competitive purposes."
If the FCC went back to pre-2010 regulations, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) would regain its status as the enforcer of those rules. But the FTC rules are not as strong as the FCC's, and many companies that provide internet and also provide a common carrier service (such as phone lines) would be exempt from FTC regulation, thanks to a ruling in a recent Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals case.
A final option, Downes said, would be to cut off the endless FCC squabbling with congressional action. A new law could give the FCC clear regulatory control over net-neutrality issues without regulating ISPs as utilities, Downes said.
That would be a fight in its own right. Advocates of managing ISPs the same way as utilities argue that ISPs otherwise behave monopolistically, and that consumers end up with poorer, more expensive internet service.
"What really matters is whether, someday, we'll take on as a country the issue of the dismal state of high-speed internet access in America," Harvard Law professor Susan Crawford wrote on the tech site Backchannel. "If the Title II reclassification holds, it's more likely that we will take that step sooner."
Meanwhile, opponents of regulating ISPs the same way as utilities say the extra rules stifle investment and innovation.
"The kinds of things that they [utilities] work for don't really reflect the nature of broadband, which is competitive, which changes all the time, which is consumer-driven," Downes argued.
A congressional battle would probably bring these issues to the forefront. In February 2015, three House members — Reps. John Thune, R-South Dakota; Greg Walden, R-Oregon; and Fred Upton, R-Michigan — released a draft bill that would have enshrined net neutrality into law while otherwise limiting FCC regulation of broadband providers. The draft law never went anywhere. Now, Recode reports that congressional Democrats are planning to take a stand on regulating ISPs, which could be a stumbling block to a bill like the one proposed by Thune, Walden and Upton.
That means the public can expect a lot more uncertainty over internet regulations, no matter how the FCC handles net neutrality this time around.
"Chairman Wheeler said Title II; Chairman Pai said not Title II," Downes said. "Guess what happens the next time a Democrat is the head of the FTC?"

(Jul. 23, 2017) — On Saturday evening, The Post & Email reported that Cody Robert Judy, the plaintiff in an Obama eligibility/forgery lawsuit, was able to raise the required $505 fee payable to the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah in order to proceed with his case.
On July 14, a three-judge panel of the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a brief order indicating that it deemed the case "frivolous" but that if Judy paid the fee, it could be pursued to a next step.
Judy had previously been granted by both the U.S. District Court and the Tenth Circuit "in forma pauperis" (IFP) status, which allows a plaintiff to proceed with a case without paying customary fees and copying costs after providing proof of "poverty."
Although the appellate court's most recent order was uploaded to the federal online docketing system, PACER, late on the afternoon of July 14, Judy was told by the U.S. District Court clerk's office that the order was not in their possession as of last Tuesday. "With the Tenth Circuit Court immediately putting it on PACER, there was no way that what the district court was telling me was true," Judy told us.
On Wednesday, in response to our question about how court orders are docketed and disseminated, a spokesman for the Tenth Circuit said, "We operate in real time here, so whenever we issue and post an order to our docket, notice is sent immediately to counsel/parties of record (and lower court clerks) and the order appears simultaneously on PACER."
Judy did not receive his hard copy of the order until retrieving his mail on Thursday. He told The Post & Email that although an email address is required of plaintiffs utilizing the federal courts and that he has provided one, he has never received notifications regarding his case via that method.
After paying the fee on Friday, he received an official acknowledgement in Saturday's mail.
Judy's current case was brought under 42 U.S. Code § 1983, "Civil action for deprivation of rights," and the Clayton Act and Sherman Anti-Trust Act alleging that in 2012, Obama, the Democratic National Committee (DNC), and political action committee Organizing for Action conspired to support a candidate for president who was constitutionally ineligible because he was not a "natural born Citizen."
In 2008, Judy filed documents to run for president himself as a Democrat and launched respective lawsuits challenging the eligibility of both Obama and Sen. John McCain. Both were ultimately dismissed without a hearing on the merits.
McCain was born in Panama to U.S.-citizen parents. Obama claims a birth in Honolulu, HI to a U.S.-citizen mother and British-citizen father at the time. Obama's father never became a U.S. citizen, but rather, returned to his home country of Kenya in 1964 following that country's declared independence from the British Crown.
The younger Obama's life narrative differs from a number of credible, mainstream news reports which previously claimed that he was born in Kenya or Indonesia, not Hawaii. A biographical sketch in pamphlet form published in 1991 and discovered by Breitbart News in May 2012 stated that Obama was "born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii."
Judy additionally sought the presidency in 2012 and 2016 and believes that his former circumstance as a presidential candidate enabled him to proceed with his cases without his legal "standing" having been challenged. Average citizens, after filing lawsuits questioning Obama's eligibility beginning in 2008, were told they lacked the "standing" to proceed as well as a particularized injury.
Under the federal anti-trust laws, Judy claims he has suffered irreparable harm by Obama's candidacy and election as an allegedly illegitimate chief executive.
Judy believes that the term "natural born Citizen" contained in Article II, Section 1, clause 5 of the U.S. Constitution means that a person is not only born in the United States, but also has parents who were U.S. citizens at the time of his birth. Judy has often expounded on the "time" requirement necessary for someone to claim "natural born" status. "It takes more than one generation for a person to develop complete loyalty to the United States," Judy told The Post & Email. "Being born here isn't enough; your parents must have been full participants in the society by being citizens themselves."
Like many other Americans, Judy became particularly concerned with the Obama eligibility question after an image purported to represent Obama's "long-form" birth certificate from Hawaii was posted on the White House website on April 27, 2011 and very quickly declared a forgery by several industry experts.
In August of that year, at the request of approximately 250 constituents, then-Maricopa County, AZ Sheriff Joseph Arpaio agreed to assign one of his volunteer posses whose members possessed experience in detective work and law enforcement to analyze the image, with Arpaio fully expecting that the matter would be quickly put to rest.
However, after a period of analysis, Cold Case Posse lead investigator Mike Zullo informed Arpaio that the image could not have originated with a real, paper document. Over the next five years and encompassing three press conferences, Zullo and Arpaio released evidence pointing to probable cause in the forgery of not only the birth certificate image, but also Obama's Selective Service registration form. That document, along with accompanying printouts, was mailed to an undetermined number of FOIA requesters beginning in late 2008 by the Selective Service System (SSS).
At the third and final presser on December 15, 2016, Zullo divulged that after agreeing to examine the image themselves, two forensic analysts working in two different disciplines reached conclusions very similar to his own, which were first made public on March 1, 2012.
The media either ignored the outcome of the press conference or stressed that the investigation was coming to a close as Arpaio prepared to leave office after six consecutive terms and a defeat in the polls on November 8.
After witnessing the release of the new information in December, Judy felt it his responsibility to resubmit his case, first filed in July 2014, to provide the newly-released evidence to a federal judge with the allegation that his complaint now encompassed criminal activity as well as civil injury.
As before, Judy began with the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah, which allowed him IFP status but dismissed the case in April. Judy then appealed to the Tenth Circuit and the newly-seated U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Neil Gorsuch. While the Supreme Court has issued no response despite Judy's proof of mailing, the Tenth Circuit labeled the appeal "frivolous" on July 14 with the caveat that it could proceed if Judy paid the filing fee.
In an interview on Saturday, The Post & Email asked Judy, "Now that the fee is paid, could the court simply reiterate its decision that the appeal is frivolous?" to which he responded:
Yes, they totally could. If they did that, I think it would be a very cruel standard. They could consider payment of the fee a self-imposed fine. But in the first paragraph in their ruling, they said, (paraphrased), "Because the district court ruled this is frivolous, we denied the IFP status."
He continued:
I don't think the judge is right or that the Tenth Circuit even paid attention to it. They included in their order "culpable" things such as "Mr. Judy has alleged…" mentioning Nancy Pelosi's and Sen. Reid's name, indicating that they've reviewed the case. But we don't really know if they ever reviewed the case. We'll never really know, but the clerks probably reviewed it and wrote the order, then the judges signed it.
We can assume now, because I have complied, that the justices no longer have a monetary excuse.
I really like the fact that in the last paragraph, they said, "If you don't pay the fees, the case will be dismissed for a lack of prosecution." That really stirred the pot for me, because there has been no time in nine years that I have failed to pursue my cases. They're not saying that the evidence or the facts are frivolous; they're saying it's my fault for failing to prosecute.
I totally disagree with where they said I had not made a serious effort to present the facts. What we're going to see now is that the justices will have to look more seriously at the facts of the case, which completely show that Nancy Pelosi disenfranchised the state of Hawaii by writing her own certificate of nomination for Obama. I think that's really important to notice because without that happening, Obama would not have been elected. He would have started to fail in the state of Hawaii where he claims to be have been born.
It's really important to the Democratic Party, of which I am a member, which supposedly elected him to be their nominee, that Pelosi disenfranchised the Democratic Party of Hawaii, which would not certify him as a qualified candidate.
The Post & Email then commented, "Yes, Hawaii has a law mandating that political candidates must be declared by their party to be 'legally qualified' to occupy the office they seek."
Yes, that's why Nancy Pelosi wrote her own; she disenfranchised the whole state of Hawaii. It comes down to whether a political party is able to disenfranchise whole states of the union. That's an infringement on my rights to be able to run a fair and equal race.
When you're in the Democratic Party, you have to function within their rules. That's what this is; the Democratic Party is not the United States of America. The same thing happens with any corporation; when that corporation violates the rules or someone's civil rights, that corporation is responsible in a court of law.
That's why it is so important that I was a Democratic candidate in the race objecting to Obama's constitutional qualifications for the office. I've never had a hearing on this, and the courts aren't able to sweep it under the rug. We get into this question: Is the Democratic Party too big to fail? There was a story the other day that the party is $3.3 million in the hole. Since May, it's gone downhill.
If the courts refuse to discipline the Democratic Party in its shenanigans against the Constitution of the United States, the party is the one that's suffering and all the people in it. The Republicans are just pleased as punch to see that happen. I am the one trying to work from within the Democratic Party to at least try to get it back on a constitutional track.
Justices are all supposed to be neutral. If a presidential candidate does not have the right to challenge another presidential candidate's qualifications, then absolutely nobody does. And that is basically trashing the Constitution and saying, "It doesn't matter," and if that doesn't apply, then their own judicial appointments don't matter because it all collapses. They're not really judges; they don't really have courts under the constitutional umbrella.
So we're asking the justices to uphold what Congress has upheld: that nine times since 2000 there have been motions, resolutions, and suggestions in Congress to change the "natural born Citizen" clause, and they've all failed. That should send a message to the courts that it's not open to interpretation, because the interpretations have been given to Congress, and they have been rejected.
That shows the courts that it's not up to their interpretation. Congress, the will of the people, has said no, and if the courts say, "Yes, somebody is able to run or occupy the office without the constitutional requirements being met," then they're in violation of their judgeships, the Constitution, and the will of the people.
