Open Thread: Talk About What Matters Most to You
Discuss and debate the issues that mean the most to you.
Almost a year ago, I finally filed the legal paperwork to change my name.
But outwardly, nothing really changed. Professionally, most people know me by my initials, which I maintained through the name change, and personally, a fair number of people also use my initials. Which isn't to say that people don't use my first name (Simon, for the record) at all, it's just that now I don't cringe when I hear it, unlike in the past.
Names hold a lot of power, as Nico Lang observes at Thought Catalog, and it's especially interesting to navigate the world as a writer with a gender-neutral name. Writers occupy a somewhat unique position in that we can choose how much of ourselves to disclose to our readers; radio personalities have voices that tend to be a giveaway, television broadcasters obviously appear on set, but writers are voices behind a pen.
Writing under my initials for a very long time has allowed me to observe the way people relate to a writer on the basis of perceived gender, because people seem to have an urgent, desperate need to slot each other into gender categories. It's very unsettling and upsetting for readers to be confronted with a writer whom they can't categorize that way.
Look at "The Economist," which pointedly doesn't use bylines, yet includes women and men on its masthead. It creates a sense of imbalance in some readers -- who wrote this, a man or a woman? Does it matter? Many people seem to think it does, ascribing all sorts of motivations and undertones to a piece on the basis of the perceived or believed gender of the author.
For the bulk of my career, long before I started discussing my gender, I was assigned female. Like Nico, that was, I suspect, because of the sorts of things I wrote about. I covered women's and gender issues and other social justice topics. I talked about sexuality, about disability politics, about pop culture, and was relentlessly read as a woman even though I hadn't given a whisper of my gender, nor did any pictures of me exist online.
Intriguingly, those ridiculous little tests you can use to test the alleged gender of a writer from a sample of that person's work almost always turn up male for me.
Every now and then I'd see someone referring to me as a "he" and I'd get a little frisson of delight that stirred deeper thoughts about my own relationship to my gender, but for the most part? Lady, across the board, and it got even worse once I did start talking about my own relationship with gender, and publishing pictures of myself.
I'm assumed to be a woman now because of what I write about and what I look like -- even though my own gender narrative, like Nico's, is much more complex.
And, I think, the use of a gender-neutral names also adds to why people think of me as female. There's a certain expectation that women hide themselves as writers, and thus that people writing under initials or under ambiguous names are probably women.
I understand where this assumption comes from. There's a long history of women writing under assumed male names or initials because they knew they'd never be widely read, discussed, or respected if they wrote as women. George Eliot, for example, is widely considered to be one of the foremost authors of the 19th century -- I doubt Mary Ann Evans would have been subject to the same reception.
Nico notes that he occupies an interesting place, with his name giving him an opportunity to see firsthand how women are torn apart on the Internet, and how sex and gender are used to discredit people:
When someone wants to tear apart my writing -- because I had the gall to suggest that society is racist or sexist -- they often bring up my presumed gender to do so. I'm interpellated as "that girl," "a chick on the internet," "this whore" or just "some c*nt," and my femaleness is never mentioned with respect. No one ever says, "O' wise woman, thou hast shown me why fat-shaming is bad form." They say, "Stop being so easily offended, bitch." Femaleness is used to discredit me in a way that maleness is not. No one has ever said, "This guy is an asshole" or "Dude doesn't know what he's talking about." Because maleness is our societal default setting, it's never mentioned.
There is nothing so quick and so easy to use when putting someone down than femaleness. Nothing so easy to dismiss someone's commentary, work, and thoughts with -- just call that person a bitch and wash your hands of the matter. If she won't shut up, crack a rape joke, because that ought to send her crawling back to whatever hole she slithered out of.
Men, though, are rarely dismissed so neatly, except through being feminized, as Nico notes, because being a woman is the worst thing ever and if you want to silence a male columnist, you can always just call him a girl.
His observations as a man on another point of the gender-neutral spectrum fascinate me, because he enjoys a certain amount of power as a male writer -- he loses nothing by explicitly outing himself as a man, while a woman who wrote under a gender-neutral name and never specified her gender would be crucified if she "came out."
And those of us who are neither are insistently and repeatedly slotted into one box or the other, with most people choosing the "feminine" box, perhaps because that's the one that's easiest to silence us in. Slap down the lid and stick a shipping label on it, and consider the job done.
Writing under a name that can be interpreted in any number of ways has provided a fascinating education in how people construct gender on the basis of very few social cues, and how they're willing to overlook cues in order to maintain their idea of a writer's gender. It's also illustrated how important it seems to be to many people to know what someone's gender is, to force someone into a tight category before relating to that person's work.
Yet, our social construction and approach to gender is so warped and limiting that this approach is inherently flawed and troubling. There are so many people who occupy liminal, complex spaces, who are in transition, who don't have easily-defined genders, that this insistence on knowing the gender behind the name can be tremendously damaging. It makes me wonder sometimes if perhaps "The Economist" has the right idea, allowing the writing to stand on its own as part of a collective.
At the same time, the tremendous history of imbalance makes it hard to advocate for erasing the identities of writers; we need more women writing, we need more voices of women of color, we need more disabled people and queer people and religious minorities. And to do that, we do need demographic information about writers, we need to know who is represented and who is not. How do we keep this see-saw in balance?
People infer things about my gender based on who they think I am, which is rooted in what they read, which is a rather selective presentation of me. Those expectations in turn rebound on me -- there are expectations about what I should cover, how I should think about things, who I will associate with, how I will express myself. There is a sense almost of ownership and I wonder if male writers experience the same thing from their readers, or if this is unique to writers who are assumed to be female.
I think of Daisy, with a clearly gendered name, a woman who writes openly about the fact that she's a lady, who catches flak for covering sports. I think of Tynan, a man who clearly identifies himself as such who could be dismissed through feminization. I think of Marianne, who frequently talks about femininity and performances of gender.
And I wonder, I think to myself: What would happen if their articles went up without bylines? Because your reception to them would change, and you'd be forced to look past your perception of the author and into the actual content of the article.
Is there even such a thing as a "gender-neutral" name when so much is read into names?
Gender is sticky, messy, ooky stuff sometimes. It's oobleck, seeming solid but treacherously fluid once you start manipulating it. Names are one of the cues we, as a society, use to filter people by perceived gender, yet they don't always yield a satisfactory, let alone correct, outcome.
How much does a name really tell us about the person behind it? And how many of the writers you're currently assuming are women actually are?

Riddle: What's the Difference Between a Sikh and a Ay-rab?
Aw, sheeit, Clem, them swarthy furriners all look alike. They both have beards and wear turbans. They both talk funny and they both attacked us on 9/11.
When you combine racial hatred with bone-stupid ignorance, this is what happens.
Last March in Elk Grove, CA, two elderly Sikh men were gunned down while they were out strolling (in the daytime) in their own neighborhood. Since the 9/11 attacks there's been a huge increase in the number of hate crimes against Sikhs. A spokesman for the Sikh Coalition, a civil rights group, said:
"When people look at me with a turban and beard, the first thing that comes to mind is, 'that guy looks like Osama bin Laden.'"
Sikhs are from India and practice their own 500-year-old religion — Sikhism — which is completely unrelated to Islam. But try explaining that to a mouth-breathing redneck.
And today's redneck story out of Arizona (or is that a redundancy?): Arizona state rep. Lori Klein was showing off her gun to a journalist who was interviewing her. They were talking about her views on gun control, and right in the middle of their conversation, she pulled out her raspberry-pink .380 Ruger and said "isn't it cute" while pointing it at the reporter's chest.
The gun was loaded and she didn't have the safety on. But not to worry — "I just didn't have my hand on the trigger."

"Nothing is more hallowing than the union of kindred spirits in art. At the moment of meeting, the art lover transcends himself. At once he is and is not. He catches a glimpse of Infinity, but words cannot voice his delight, for the eye has no tongue. Freed from the fetters of matter, his spirit moves in the rhythm of things. It is thus that art becomes akin to religion and ennobles mankind. It is this which makes a masterpiece something sacred. "

Japan born Yamamoto began photographing in 1975. Strong themes in his work are nature, the passing of time and memory. The work also bears relation to the idea of Haikus, short poems that present a single experience, a single moment. Like Haikus, Yamamoto's images present a single subject that appear to leave something unsaid or undefined, the viewer is given the chance to complete the idea and thus become part of the work, reaffirming their relationship with themselves. For example a cobbled street, a bird, a window, a naked woman. In his exhibition "Nakazora" (meaning "the space between the sky and earth") Yamamoto insists the empty space between the photos is as important as the photos themselves. This idea is seen in Buddhism, all things being of equal value, here the viewer should experience themselves in the spaces as well as viewing the images. "When looking at my installation, I would like the viewer not only to try to understand. Rather, as with a landscape, for example, please just view or take a look." In other exhibitions Yamamoto has not only hung work on the walls but also provided for some to be contained in old wooden boxes that the viewer can rummage through. Like rummaging through beautiful moments we may have thought forgotten, here are captured and presented for us to experience again.
"I try not to think when I take photographs, I let myself be drawn to a subject; the photograph is a record of my feelings in the moment."

A Polaroid a day...
Even though the Polaroid is no more, we can still sit back sometimes and revel in its weird, fragile, chemical beauty. One of the best collections of Polaroids I've seen is by the following photographer:
Jamie Livingston (Oct 25, 1956 - Oct 25, 1997) was a New York based photographer and film maker. Between March 31, 1979 and October 25, 1997, the day of his death, he took a single picture nearly every day with a Polaroid camera. His photographic diary started at Bard College, USA and though some photos have gone missing from the collection, 6,697 Polaroids remain - maintained today by two of his close friends. An absolutely amazing collection of photographs that you can look at for hours. Its hard to pick a few favourites because nearly every snap is brilliant.

Drew Matott and Drew Cameron, the founders of Combat Paper Project say on their website, "The story of the soldier, the Marine, the men and the women and the journeys within the military service in a time of war is the basis for this project. The goal is to utilize art as a means to help veterans reconcile their personal experiences as well as broaden the traditional narrative surrounding service, honor and the military culture.
Through papermaking workshops veterans use their uniforms worn in combat to create cathartic works of art. The uniforms are cut up, beat and formed into sheets of paper. Veterans use the transformative process of papermaking to reclaim their uniform as art and begin to embrace their experiences as a soldier in war.
The Combat Paper Project is based out of Green Door Studio in Burlington, VT and has traveled throughout the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, providing veterans' workshops, exhibitions, performances and artists' talks. This project is made possible by a multifaceted collaboration between artists, art collectors, academic institutions and combat veterans."

A-League Preview: City seek to avenge derby defeat
Melbourne City will be keen to make amends for their derby embarrassment when they host Adelaide United in the A-League on Friday.
John van 't Schip's men led twice but were thrashed 5-2 by Melbourne Victory on Saturday night - as the situation surrounding guest player David Villa appeared to worsen.
Spanish striker Villa is leaving Melbourne for New York following City's hosting of Adelaide, and reports have suggested he will not return to the A-League - with all eyes to be on the former Barcelona and Atletico Madrid man approaching the final whistle at AAMI Park.
Adelaide, meanwhile, have few concerns after an unbeaten opening to the 2014-15 campaign.
Most recently, Josep Gombau's men easily accounted for Perth Glory 2-0, after drawing with Melbourne Victory and beating Brisbane Roar.
On Saturday, Perth will be looking to bounce back from dropping points for the first time this season when they host Newcastle Jets.
Glory's back-to-back wins to start the campaign were put paid to by Adelaide, although Perth boss Kenny Lowe will like the look of their head-to-head record against the Jets.
Perth have won seven of their past eight outings against Newcastle in all competitions, including a 2-0 FFA Cup win in August.
On Sunday, Graham Arnold will be up against his old side for the first time, as his Sydney FC host the Central Coast Mariners.
Arnold steered Central Coast to the premiership in 2011-12 and clinched the championship with the Mariners in 2013.
At Allianz Stadium, he will be opposing former assistant Phil Moss in the technical area, hoping to preserve Sydney's unbeaten start to the season - and inflict a second straight loss on the Mariners.
League leaders Melbourne Victory host Wellington Phoenix on Monday.
Victory are level with Sydney and Adelaide on seven points but have a superior goal difference, while the Phoenix are just one point back after stringing together consecutive wins.
If last season's clashes between the two are anything to go by, there will be goals at AAMI Park.
Despite losing two of the three clashes, Phoenix outscored Victory 8-7 on the back of their 5-0 rout in January - which was preceded by a 3-2 Victory win in Melbourne, and followed by a 4-1 Melbourne rout in Wellington.

The upstart New York-based label's debut 12-inch also features cuts from Line Cook.
The label is a new offshoot of Soul 2 Seoul, a New York-based DJ duo whose Facebook profile describes them as "half Korean, half African, half American." From the sound of it, Basement Floor is an apt name for their new label: their first release features stripped-down, staunchly analog house and techno that should sound right at home in one of Brooklyn's less-than-legal party spaces. Self-described prince of dance music Elbee Bad, billed here as "eLBee BaD vs. L.B. GooD," presides over the A-side, and the B-side is cut with two tracks from a mysterious producer named Line Cook.
A1 eLBee BaD vs. L.B. GooD - These Mutha Fukin Djs (Club Mixx)
A2 eLBee BaD vs. L.B. GooD - Tracks Drop
B1 Line Cook - Never
B2 Line Cook - Zero
Basement Floor Records will release These Mutha Fukin Djs (Club Mixx) / Never on July 30th, 2013.

In its title, cover art and mythic back story, Brian Wilson's ``SMiLE'' carries the promise of being the most uplifting, triumphantly joyous album in the history of popular music.
But this has proved a disappointingly impossible proposition. Though many hear in ``SMiLE'' the lushly orchestrated, deliriously happy realization of Wilson's late-'60s dream of creating a ``teenage symphony to God and laughter,'' others hear sorrow, creepiness and utter nonsense. Offering little middle ground, the disc is one man's intriguing Zen parable, another's drink coaster.

As TV shows like The Walking Dead rise in popularity, the fandom community breaks out to re-enact their own versions of popular comics, historical eras and games in fantasy role-playing situations.
- Ashley Eberhardt
Ashley Eberhardt of Rockrimmon works at Zeezo's.
Are you familiar with live action role playing? Yes, I've done Dungeons & Dragons role playing, but not mixed with cosplay. I've gone to a lot of conventions and competed in cosplay contexts.
What's involved with cosplaying as far as hair, makeup and costumes are concerned? It's really up to the cosplayer. With Rainbow Dash [My Little Pony], I saw a little girl in a blue tank top, a tutu and some ears. When I was Rainbow Dash, I did a full body suit with makeup and paint. As long as you find somebody at the convention who knows your fandom, they're going to know who you are.
What are your favorite fandoms to cosplay? For sure Star Wars, just because everybody knows it. Pokemon, a lot of things that kids really enjoy, superheroes because you see a lot of other adults and that's fun. But when a little kid is left speechless because they saw Thor, that's the coolest thing.
Why do you think LARPing is an appealing pastime? Our heroes are what we relate to. You see something going on in the world, Captain America makes it better. You could be stressed out beyond belief and sit down with a comic book. We all see parts of ourselves in our favorite character. I feel like we're not hiding ourselves under a costume — we're showing the best parts.
- Albert Welch
Albert Welch of Fountain is a student at UCCS.
Are you familiar with live action role playing? I'm aware of it. I've talked about it with friends but never done it myself.
Would you ever participate in a game? If I had friends who were interested in doing it, and if the content of the session was interesting, I would.
What character would you choose? Probably a paladin — it's more of a lawful good/lawful neutral character. It generally tends to be in medieval or fantasy things, but it could be applied to anything. As a history major, I would definitely do a medieval game because the values and traditions get lost and abstracted in modern, futuristic settings.
Why do you think LARPing is an appealing pastime? If people are more active, traditional role playing can be extremely cerebral. I had some friends who did some, and it was a good excuse to go roaming in the parks.
- Nick Gochas
Nick Gochas of Security-Widefield works at Ka-Pow Coffee and. Comics
Are you familiar with live action role playing? I am. I've done some of it in college. I went to Iowa State University, and we used to go and play.
What type of games did you participate in? They were a modified Dungeons & Dragons scenario where you got to choose from five different classes. We had colored balls, so it was basically like a color dash where we would throw them at each other and if you got paint on you, you were hit by a spell.
Who was your favorite character to play? Warriors were the most fun because I had the most ammunition that way.
Why do you think LARPing is an appealing pastime? I think it's appealing because you get role playing in a more public forum. It's positive for the geeky community to meet other people in a setting that's entertaining.

Ceremonies.Scot is a partnership between Bryan Begg and Louise McAllister; we plan, choreograph and co-ordinate non-religious, Humanist ceremonies throughout Scotland. Working together, we provide high quality, personal wedding, vow renewal, welcoming and funeral ceremonies.
Based in Aberdeenshire, we are happy to travel anywhere from Cape Wrath to the Scottish Borders and, naturally, we love trips to our beautiful islands! We have also helped many couples from Australia, the USA and further afield through the legal requirements of getting married here. Happily, and following the recent change in legislation, we are proud that non religious Humanist wedding ceremonies are available to everyone in Scotland. (See our Legal Marriage page for more details)
All our ceremonies are unique and personal, with your wishes receiving priority - the ceremony can be traditional or modern, formal or informal, inside or outside. Our wedding ceremonies are normally around thirty minutes in length however they may be longer or shorter depending on the content you wish to have included.
Working together with you on your ceremony, we are happy to guide
you through the legalities and to help with your choices of words, poetry, music and the involvement of your guests, should you wish.
We usually meet with couples around three months before their wedding ceremony date to begin detailed arrangements and this can also be via Skype, Face-time, email or phone if this is more convenient. We are also happy to meet earlier for an informal chat and we are available at all times to answer any questions or concerns you may have.
Our aim is to ensure your ceremony, and day, is all you wish it to be for you and your guests and we work alongside venues and other parties, such as florists, photographers and planners, to ensure a seamless and relaxed day for all.
Below are just two of the reviews from some of our happy couples – these, and several others, can also be seen on our Facebook page.
"Bryan and Louise made our ceremony so special to us and everyone commented on what a lovely ceremony it was. They portrayed our story from start to now in the most perfect way and it is still one of my favourite parts of the day. We 'tied the knot' which is something we be able will keep forever and I would highly recommend Bryan and Louise to anyone considering a humanist wedding ceremony. Thank you!"
"Bryan and Louise were everything you would want on your Wedding Day. Fun and engaging whilst holding the room's attention and being completely charismatic and professional throughout. We couldn't have asked for more. Their prep work and ideas really helped us and it was a great part of our day!"
Our purpose is to take your wishes and dreams and transform them into reality - beyond your expectations and regardless of convention - nothing is impossible!
I was born in Aberdeen, lived and worked there until moving to Huntly in 2000. My background is in teaching and training, formerly as a college lecturer and latterly as a self employed IT trainer. Everyone's beliefs are important and I defend their right to hold them.
Originally from Northern Ireland, I have lived in Scotland for the last 25 years. My background is in teaching and training in further education, teaching English as a second language. I hugely enjoy the freedom and pleasure of the humanist perspective.
Wedding days are special days, where a couple make a commitment and promises in front of their family and friends. Your day, and ceremony, is unique and personal - celebrating your marriage and your beliefs. It is with pride we can now offer this service to all Scotland's people. Be it an affirmation, vow renewal, or legal marriage we are pleased to help.
Whether you live in Scotland or abroad we are always available and happy to guide you through the process - from booking a Wedding Celebrant to notifying the Registrar. See our Ceremonies Page for more details.
All life is valuable and worth celebrating – coming together to recall the events of a person's life is often an uplifting time for families and friends. So, whilst we cannot take away the pain of loss; we hope we can help make the time of loss just a little bit easier…We believe all life has value and is worth celebrating.
We are spokesperson for the deceased and their family; delivering their message to the wider gathering of mourners. The ceremony is always personal and not necessarily bound by convention, but within the constraints of venue and time. See our Ceremonies page for more details.

In today's Academic Minute, Dr. Connie Shemo of the State University of New York, Plattsburgh, explains the connection between the women's foreign mission movement of the early twentieth century and two pioneering female doctors.
Connie Shemo is an associate professor of history at the State University of New York, Plattsburgh. Her teaching and research interests include U.S. women's history, Chinese history, and the history of medicine. She holds a Ph.D. from SUNY Binghamton.
Dr. Connie Shemo – Female Missionary Physicians
How can two women, who gained fame on two continents in the early twentieth century and helped inspire a new career for women in China, be forgotten today?
In 1896, two Chinese girls, both 24 years old, graduated from the medical school at the University of Michigan. Known in China as Kang Cheng and Shi Meiyu and in the United States as Dr. Ida Kahn and Dr. Mary Stone, their graduation received a lot of attention in both countries. They went back to China and established hospitals for women and children and nursing schools, treating hundreds of thousands of patients in the course of their career. They became leaders in establishing a nursing profession in China. Their example was also a factor in inspiring untold numbers of Chinese women to pursue careers as physicians themselves.
While they practiced in China, in the early 1900s, they were well known in the United States as well. Ida Kahn and Mary Stone were Methodist missionary physicians. They traveled to the United States and spoke in front of hundreds of American audiences in fundraising tours. The women's foreign mission movement was the largest women's movement at this time. Ida Kahn and Mary Stone were famous heroines in this movement. One Smith college graduate remembers a "hot argument" about whether Mary Stone or the progressive reformer Jane Addams was "the greatest living woman." But, after the decline of the foreign mission movement in the 1920s, Ida Kahn and Mary Stone were gradually almost completely forgotten in the United States. In part because of their opposition to Communism, they are no longer known in China.
The woman's foreign mission movement has rightly been criticized for its "cultural imperialism," its ethnocentrism and disrespect towards other religious traditions. But it needs to be studied as an important part of both American history and Chinese history, and the shared history between these two countries, currently the two biggest economies in the world. Remembering Dr. Ida Kahn and Dr. Mary Stone, or Kang Cheng and Shi Meiyu, is a good starting point for this history.

I couldn't cook without my cast iron skillet! It's rare to find one in the thrift stores here. A cast iron skillet is the only thing Grannie would use to bake her pineapple upside down cake in....maybe one day my granddaughter will have that same memory of me.

Jeff DeBuys posted for Independence December 12: We are living right here on the Independence, as the ride home has been nothing short of spectacular. I think we should have no problem meeting our 0530 E T A on Saturday. Here is what worked for us this trip plain and simple time at the rail, as always, sound rigging, connections are key. The jig guys have their own agenda, as some use the heavy ones, Salas PL 68, and some use lighter ones Salas pdq , and super 6X, all modified of course with different hooks. The weather for the most part was not on our side, but we did have a few good days. We caught fish on everything, man baits, sardines, mackerel, chunks, flyers, jigs, kites, sinkers, puffers, salamis, squid, and sea horses. We had as many chances at big ones as one could ask for, and our group did very well this trip. The Raider jigs and Capt. Jimmy Wahoo bombs were the way to go for Wahoo this trip. If all goes well at the scale we should have 16 cows and a super cow Saturday morning.
Everything But The Fat Lady
This morning when we began filtering out on deck around 3AMish there were dozens of small but hungry sharks swimming around the boat, said the report for Royal Polaris December 11.
It made it impossible to fish with a skipjack until they dissipated unless you wanted to try it with only half a bait which of course we did not. Eventually they departed but only Eddy Sisom was successfully able to catch both a whole skipjack and a tuna around 150 pounds. That was the entire morning bite. During the course of the day the bait bite as well as the kite failed to live up to yesterday's standards number wise, but the fish we landed were very nice quality 60 to 150 pounds with more of the bigger size than the smaller. Aki Higashi scored his personal best tuna of around 160 pounds. By late afternoon every thing had gone completely dead and nothing had been hooked for a few hours. The fat lady was on the first verse, the crew was beginning to clean the battle area, and the showers were doing a brisk business. Ed Delaney who continues to be red hot, had been on a kite just shy of forever and just killing time until they brought him in, soaking two dead baits on a double trouble rig. You can no doubt see where this is heading. He wound up landing a 208-pounder in the bottom of the ninth for the sole cow of the day. Wind was stronger today than it was yesterday, and we had rain on and off most of the day. Last night when the crew was catching flyers, it rained very hard, at least that's what they told us. All we passengers know was it was nice and dry down in our bunks while they were hard at work. We will try it again here tomorrow.
Vagabond Wrap
Big congrats on the catch of a lifetime, posted Vagabond December 9: Larry King returned today on our 10-Day Cows trip with his first two cows of 291, 235, then backed it up with a 336-pound super cow.
We fished some beautiful weather with lots of action the first couple of day on fish up to 90 pounds but finally settled in on the anchor for the big fish. Action was slow but when it came, it was amazing! Added in some yummy Wahoo for the holiday tables.
Second place went to Phil Howard with a 252-pound cow and third place goes to David Vahorvich with a 192-pounder.
Hurricane Hoos!
Fishing for Wahoo & Big Tuna On Q-105 At Hurricane Bank
Hot rail action on the Hurricane Bank in this prequel to the very popular 300-Pound Tuna! This video is stuffed with info to help anglers catch bigger tuna and wahoo. Technical angler Gary Teraoaka shows how to straighten a wire wahoo leader and how to thread a big tuna leader to Spectra for smooth as silk casting and the extreme strength required to take giant yellowfin. Accurate Jack Nilsen gives the lowdown on how to fish the kite, and shows how to finish a big tuna. Heres plenty of wild action on skinnies and tuna, and host Bill Roecker has tips for baitfishing both. Youll see the anticipation of the bite, leaping wahoo, the tension of bringing big fish to gaff, and the latest deep jigging techniques with knife jigs. Catch the electric action and the excitement of fishing on the Hurricane Bank, one of the most remote and productive long range fishing spots in the world!

I was so moved by the turnout for the Orlando Sentinel 2012 space shuttle calendar signing events that took place in December and last week. I want to thank our online and print readers that I had the privilege to meet and share stories with.
Everyone who waited in line to have calendars signed wanted to share a story. I took in every word they said. NASA family members asked me sign handfuls of calendars for astronauts back in Houston. Generations of space workers spanning back to the Mercury program came by.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Enlarge
COLUMBUS — Christian Ehrhoff and Marcus Foligno scored short-handed goals to lead the Buffalo Sabres to a 5-2 victory over Columbus on Saturday night, ending the Blue Jackets' franchise-record winning streak at eight.
Ryan Miller was almost flawless in goal for the Sabres, making 38 saves — standing particularly tall on the Blue Jackets' four fruitless power plays.
Matt Ellis, Steve Ott and Cody Hodgson also scored for the Sabres.
Derek MacKenzie had a goal and an assist and Mark Letestu also scored for the Blue Jackets.
Sergei Bobrovsky, who came in 9-0-0 with a 1.80 goals-against average and .940 save percentage in his past nine starts, was pulled after giving up three goals — including both short-handed tallies.

What is Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)?
Social and emotional learning (SEL) provides a foundation for healthy development. It is the process children, youth, and adults go through to develop the skills to engage with others, manage their emotions, show empathy, handle stress, set goals, make responsible decisions, and in the long run to succeed in work and life.
Social and Emotional Learning can improve students' academic performance, decrease problem behavior, and increase college and career success. The resources collected here highlight a wide range of research on SEL, and cover how teachers, parents, schools and others can all support the social emotional development of young people.

200. I think we should recall that we first
started hearing the wonderful word "subsidiarity" from
the Maastricht treaty, which I recall Bill voted quite a few times
against. Let's look at the history of it. We had a sense there
where the government of the UKa Conservative government
at the timewas claiming subsidiarity from Brussels while
it was centralised in its own country. It was not practising in
its own country its own subsidiarity. When we first heard of subsidiarity,
it was subsidiarity of decision making to Member States and not
down to the regions. We have moved on from thererightly
so. But one of the difficulties that we must look atand
I am sure you must appreciate itcoming from understanding
or trying to understand your point of view, is that we have 250
regions in the Union of 15 states now. We have got another 40
regions coming in. Therefore it is how you can effectively get
real subsidiarity, democratic devolutioncall it what you
willwith so many regions and how you administer that, what
sort of bureaucracy administers that, and how you get best value
from that. That is the challenge to us all. There are no easy
answers to how we do that. I think, in fairness, the way that
the Commission and the European Union is doing it at present is
helpful and encouraging, but I am sure the Convention will look
closely at it, and there is going to be no easy answer how you
achieve what you understand from your own political perspective
but understanding that there is another number of peoplemaybe
100, 200 regionsthroughout Europe arguing for the same
things that you are arguing for.
(Professor MacCormick) I think it is perfectly clear
in all my answers that if you want a democratic Europe that is
a Europe of equal citizenship, then your right to be heard in
the construction of laws at the European level should not be a
function of whether you live in X or in Y. That is absolutely
clear, as clear as a bell. Part of the trouble is that where the
regions are self-represented in the machinery of the Union, they
are done so on a very odd principle. The Committee of the Regions,
when you think of it, was set up to compensate for, in some degree,
to adjust for the fact that there are in big states significant
regions which are less significant in terms of most of the constitutional
architecture than small states. But what was done when the Committee
of the Regions was set up was they repeated that principle. It
is a very good idea, for example, that Luxembourg should have
six members of the European Parliament. The reason for it is that
if you have much fewer than that you cannot represent the political
diversity of a country. Luxembourg with six can have its different
party positions represented, just as the UK with 87 can. The UK
being a big state, it does not need proportionately exactly as
many as Luxembourg. If we had proportionately as many as Luxembourg,
practically the whole parliament would compose of the UK representatives
or it would be a parliament of several thousand. So that is a
good principle. In the same way, Denmark has five million citizens,
16 Members of the Parliament at the moment; Scotland has five
million citizens, eight Members of the Parliament at the moment.
Under the principle of degressive proportionality, that is as
it should be. Why does that principle apply to the Committee of
the Regions? Surely the opposite should apply, in order that the
regions as regions are fairly and proportionately represented.
That would be a situation which would make much more sense, saying,
"What is the population base of the different regions?"
For this purpose, is not Luxembourg a state which has regions
but a state which is a region? While Bavaria is a non-state which
is a region, or perhaps comprises several regions, depending on
how the Bavarians want to set their own principles of self-government.
You can do some arithmetic on that, by the way. If you say that
roughly 2.5 million people would entitle you to three seats on
the Committee of the Regions, with or without substitute arrangements,
but that no state should have fewer than three, you end up with
a Committee of the Regions a bit smaller than the existing Parliament,
comparable in size with the present one, but you would have some
equity among the regions of Europe. The argument from equality
of citizenship operates in exactly the opposite direction. If
you want the regions to self-represent on an equal basis here
in Brussels, you need to rethink the Committee of the Regions.
201. Two or three questions on the issue of
greater openness and transparency, something on which we have
touched a number of times today already. In your view, how much
difference would it make to the European Parliament and other
parliaments and assemblies if the Council actually met in public?and
I am only talking here as far as when it is legislating. How important
is it to open up the system of working groups, for example, and
"comitology" so that there is far greater public scrutiny
there? Finally, would you agree that the conciliation process
should be more public, without making the negotiations which take
place there much more difficult? Where possible, should it take
place in public?
(Professor MacCormick) I am certain about the Council
of Ministers acting as the primary legislative house of the European
Union, that it should deliberate in public. Of course everybody
around this table is awaremost of you much better aware
of than I amthat even a legislature which deliberates in
public cannot get its business done unless there is a fair amount
of talking in private places. That is also right. The idea that
people should be allowed to do deals in private and talk to each
other is obviously sensible, but, at the end of the day, when
you stand in front of the citizen body and say, "These are
the laws we propose to make and these are the reasons why we propose
to make them," it is outrageous that that be done behind
closed doors. So, as far as the Council is concerned, that seems
to me to be perfectly clear. I think at the comitology level there
is a presumption, though it is less overwhelming, provided that
there are recall mechanisms, and I think that the recall mechanisms
should be to the Parliament (rather in the way in which the Houses
of the UK Parliament can exercise reasonably effective control
over statutory instruments and other legislation), and I think
the European Parliament, not the Council, is the right one to
do that task. So there should be greater publicity. As far as
conciliation is concerned, I have only taken part in one, but
it was an epic. It was the one about the take-over directive which
ended up 8:7 in the Conciliation Committee on the Parliament sideand
I was the eighth, I am glad to sayand then became a vote
of 273 to 273 in the Parliament and the thing fell at that point.
Two Members of a certain political party had forgotten that the
vote was happening and were secreted in the Members' bar talking
to a journalist at the time. But that is a private grief.
202. Not now it is not, Neil.
(Professor MacCormick) I am sorry . . . But I do think
that the case again for the final stage of the Conciliation Committee
being public would be a good idea, although there is actually
a less compelling case. It is the third reading in Parliament
and the final deliberation in Council whether to accept the result
of conciliation, and I do not think conciliation is as compellingly
requiring the full glare of publicity, and I am not sure whether
it will do any particular good. I equally do not think it will
do any particular harm. I do not have a strong view on that.
203. Could I ask as a supplementary whether
you would go as far as me in saying that repeat offenders should
be made to watch comitology meetings and look at conciliation
(Professor MacCormick) A cruel and unusual punishment.
204. Should the Commission President be elected
by the European Parliament?
(Professor MacCormick) There is quite a case for it.
There is absolutely no case at all for a Europe-wide election
for the Executive President. There is no country, not even France,
in the Union which has a tradition of electing an executive president
in the full American sense. If there is a need to elect the President
of the Commission, it should be done through Parliament, not otherwise.
I am more favourably inclined than most people are to the existing
arrangement which is indirect election and direct dismissability.
The fact that direct dismissability works is sufficiently demonstrated
by its having been done once. It has had a transforming effect
on the relations between the Commission and the Parliament. Why
I think there is a good case for the existing set up, is that
I think it actually is favourable to representative democracy
in a kind of Burkean sense. The European Parliament is a parliament
in which no part of it sits on purpose to keep a government in
office. It therefore follows that Members of the European Parliament
have a liberty of action unknown to Members of the House of Commons.
There are Whips, but the Whips are relatively weak and even in
the big parties they are divided, at least in part, along national
lines. It follows that there is no continuous standing majority
in the Parliament over the hill there. On each issue a majority
forms. That really does mean that a critical power of scrutiny
is exercised by the Parliament collectively and by its members
as individual Members. This is an advantage, because the role
which the direct elected house plays here is actually, when you
reflect upon it, the role of the second chamber. The primary legislative
chamber is the Council of Ministers, and, if you like the idea
of the European Union as a confederationand I doyou
should keep that primary legislative house, the Council of Ministers,
with some agreed basis of majority voting, qualified majority
voting, but then your house of Scrutiny should not be cluttered
up with the task of keeping a government in power. The difficulty
about it is that it turns out that relatively few European citizens
know about or believe in Burkean democracy. The idea of an elected
legislature whose members exercise critical scrutiny on behalf
of their electorate and come to a wise judgment about the interests
of the body politic turns people off in huge numbers. The task
of closing the democratic deficit is somehow, I honestly think,
a task of getting people to appreciate that at the Continental
level that is the kind of legislature you should have, but you
do not know that you need.
205. Burke would not have approved of part of
this, if I could just challenge you on that question. I do not
think it is Burkean in that sense at all. I mean, a constituency-based
organisational direct line to the constituency itself is quite
(Professor MacCormick) I think I would meet you half
way. If Burke had known of single transferable votes and multi-member
constituencies, he probably would have been even more enthusiastic
206. They had them but they were all owned by
the individual
(Professor MacCormick) It is unfortunate that the
Marquis of Salisbury owned them all.
207. Neil, thank you very much. Unfortunately,
we have run out of time. Thank you very much. I hope you have
enjoyed it as much as we have.
(Professor MacCormick) I think probably more.
208. I would congratulate you on your responses
to our questions and I am sure they will be helpful to us when
we form our report.
(Professor MacCormick) Thank you very much.

Episode 47: The secret to successful divestitures
In this episode, Ahmad Filsoof, a Principal at Strategy& based in Chicago, describes a methodology for companies looking to divest a part of their business that centers on the capabilities that come with that asset. He explores the importance of a capabilities-centered approach and discusses in detail the five steps that comprise such a process: capability scoping, baseline analysis, option analysis, transition planning, and buyer engagement. This approach was first addressed in a recent strategy+business article.

How To Retrieve Your Password
This article describes the process of getting a new password for your login.
What you have to know:
This process works when we have an account linked to your mail address. This is the case when:
- You have registered for EuroHash 2017. In this case, we will automatically create a community account for you. This process takes some days after you have registered and you will be notified by email.
- You have contacted us using the contact form before May 2016. Up to this date, we have automatically integrated all mail addresses that contacted us to the community. After May 2016, this has been stopped and you have to sign up for the community to be on the mailing list. (See HowToSignUpMailingList)
This "How To" describes how you can retrieve the password for your account. All you need to know is the email address that you have provided us upon registration.
Step 1:
To start the process, please navigate to the community page and click on the "Forgot Login" link in the Login module.
The Login module and the "Forgot Login" Link:
This will lead you to step 2.
Step 2: The "Lost-Your-Password" screen
This is the page, where you have to enter the email address that you have used for registration/sign up. Enter this email address.
If you have entered an email address that is not known to the system, which means, that does not have a user account, you will get a message like this:
But usually you should get this message telling you, that your new password has been sent to your given email address.
Step 3: Your new password and first login:
You will receive an email that looks like this:
The email gives you the password that you will need to login. Please note, the login name is your email address.
Please Note:
The Password that you will get might contain "0" (the number Zero) or "O" (capital letter O). In most cases your email system will display this correctly (the digit with a dot inside). But we have reports, that some systems do not show a difference. This is a setting of your system and can not be influenced by us.
Go back to the website and navigate to the community page. Enter your email address and your new password in the appropriate fields and click the "Log In" Button.
Step 4: You have made it - Welcome to EuroHash Community!
After you logged in, the system will show a message telling you that you have successfully logged in. You will also see the community menu.
Step 5: What to do when this process did not work:
In case you experience problems please come back to us with your questions ( use the contact [at] Eurohash.... address or the contact form). If possible, please also send us a screen shot of the error you get as well as information on your operating system and browser type and version.
- This process can be repeated as often as you want (with a maximum of 3 times per hour for spam protection purposes). So whenever you forgot your password, just retrieve a new one. But please make sure, you always use the newest one!

Type Functions: Implementation Status
Back to TypeFunctions.
- For Tom: Construct
TyConfor type equation in
tcFamInstDecl1. This needs to be a synonym tycon, which still needs to be extended to include family information.
- Dictionary handling for equational constraints:
- Where do we check the details of the formation of equational constraints? (In
- In the case for ordinary instances in
TcInstDcls.tcInstDecl2, filter the ids of the super class equalities out of
map instToId sc_dicts. (They don't appear explicitly in the `Hs' representation of the methods binding.)
- Similarly with
map instToId meth_dictsin
TcClassDcl.tcMethodBindMaybe we just need a special function to replace all occurences of
map instToId? Occurs also in
- We also have
map instToIdin
TcUnify.tcGen, but here I am not sure yet whether we cans imply drop the coercion variables or have to do something else.
- Where do we check the details of the formation of equational constraints? (In
- Add type synonym instances to ifaces
TcSimplify: Handle the presence of
EqPreds in the given set, due to appearing in signature contexts. (Including that
instToIddoesn't work on
- Well-formedness checks for equational constraints (i.e., anything beyond the type arguments being boxed, rank 0 types)
Parsing and Renaming
Todo (low-level): None.
Todo (high-level):
- Defaults for associated type synonyms. (Having both a kind signature and vanilla synonym is problematic as in
RnNames.getLocalDeclBindersits hard to see that not both of them are defining declarations, which leads to a multiple declarations error. Defaults are quite different from vanilla synonyms anyway, as they usually have tyvars on their rhs that do not occur on the lhs.)
- Parsing and renaming of kind signatures (toplevel and in classes).
- Parsing and renaming of indexed type declarations (toplevel and in classes).
- Using new syntax with
instanceon top level.
- Added
- Allowing
typetag in export lists to list associated types in the sub-binder list of an import/export item for a class.
- Import/export lists: ATs can be listed as subnames of classes and the data constructors of instances of a data family are subnames of that family.
- Parsing and renaming of equational constraints in contexts.
Type Checking
Todo (low-level):
- RHS of a
type instancemust be a tau type.
- Check that patterns of type indexes don't contain type functions.
- Implement the equation of
conflict, which is local to
FamInst.addLocalFamInst, for synonyms; ie, check that the left hand sides coincide under the substitution.
- If an associated synonym has a default definition, use that in the instances. In contrast to methods, this cannot be overridden by a specialised definition. (Confluence requires that any specialised version is extensionally the same as the default.)
- It should be ok to allow newtype instances for data families. (NB: the rhs of a newtype is guaranteed to be a lifted type.) Is this desirable?
Todo (high-level):
- Type checking of type functions (and hence, associated type synonyms); routines in
TcUnifythat need to be extended:
boxySplitTyConApp: The second argument (
BoxyRhoType) can be a synonym family application. Then, we must produce a wanted coercion and return a
HsWrappervalue that applies that coercion.
boxySplitAppTy: Basically, the same deal as the previous.
boxySubMatchType: Not sure yet. Do we need to handle the case where in
goone type is
FunTyand the other a synonym family application? But the function doesn't handle the case where a
FunTymeets a tyvar either, so its probably ok to ignore.
boxy_match: Not sure yet. Do we have to handle the case where
t_tyis a synonym family application? On the other hand, this prematching seems to be an approximation. How much does it hurt if we just ignore this?
boxy_lub: Unclear. Also seems to approximate.
tcSubExp: Defer to boxy matching if we have a synonym family application.
uVar, and their intefaces
unifyTheta, and
unifyTypeList: Generate wanted equalities and produce coercion(s). !!!Still need to check usage patterns!!!
HsWrappervalue (unless the unification fails), which is
WpHolewhenever the coercion is empty. The disadvantage is that this blows the tree between type checking and desugaring up. An alternative is to return the coercion only when needed, but write some auxilliary functions that take the result of
boxySplitTyConAppand friends and turn the optional coercion result in an always present (real Haskell) function that we always apply to the type-checked pattern (in
TcPat) or expression. It is simply
idwhen we don't need a coercion.
- Arguments and results of synonym families are always tau types. Then, boxy subsumption becomes easy to handle. When we have a synonym family application, we defer to boxy matching (i.e., unification) and if that comes up with a coercion, we return it as the subsumption coercion.
- Type checking in the presence of associated synonym defaults. (Default AT synonyms are only allowed for ATs defined in the same class.)
- Type check functional dependencies as type functions.
- Kind and type checking of kind signatures.
- Kind and type checking of instance declarations of indexed types.
- Wrapper generation and type checking of pattern matching for indexed data and newtypes.
- Consistency checking for family instances.
Todo (low-level): None.
Todo (high-level):
- Extend interface files to include equality axioms:
- How do we exactly want to represent type equations in interface files?
- SPJ pointed out that instances are maintained in
InstEnv.InstEnvwith different values for the home packages and others. Type instances may have to be maintained in a similar way, as they are also incrementally collected during compiling a program. (We probably include them in the same structure, as they will also be of type
IfaceInstcontains the instance declaration information for interfaces.
IfaceInstlist in
ModIfaceand the
Instancelist in
ModDetailsfrom the interface declarations and type environment, respectively. I.e., it is the type instances that carry the whole payload. Update: We may actually want to put a rough match signature in the iface seperate from the full instance declaration, so we can delay type checking the full instance declaration until we get a rough match. (This makes only sense for
type instances, not for
data instances, as the latter are loaded when their constructors are mentioned. Well actually, it does make sense for
data instances as far as loading them for overlap checking is concerned.)

since but I've always felt that it was really neat to use a
glass wall to separate his living space from his bedroom.
Ever since seeing his talent and gorgeous rooms in Queer
Eye for the Straight Guy, I've been a fan of his. He now has
his own show called Dress My Nest.
sense of design that I really admire and appreciate.
He has a gorgeous canopied bed in his bedroom.
And a very polished bachelor's bathroom.
He has a really classy way of bringing the
eclectic, the functional and the luxe together.
He also has a great way of bringing color together.
I really loved this make-over he did on
Dress My Nest. Can you believe the before
versus the after which looks like an incredibly
chic and glamorous space?
Thom Filicia also gave Guiliana Rancic (from
E! News) a makeover for her living room.
More examples of the wonderful make
overs that Thom has done for so many.
I especially loved this makeover which has a very Palm Beach
style and feel. The stripes, the headboard, and the very comfortable
lounge chair in the corner totally made me drool over this room.
It would be like living in a Palm Beach vacation room permanently.
Doesn't that sound great?
This pad became dramatic, modern and super chic.

If you like Thom's creative rooms, you'll
really like his book. His book shows his

There! It's out!
The official reasons.
The Malacca Chief Minister's record-setting wedding banquet for his son and 130,000 guests was paid for by......(insert fanfare here)...Tataaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!......
Apparently, caterers and "other businesses" sponsored the event. I will bet that you never knew that the Malacca CM, Mohd. Ali Rustam is sooooooooo loved by Malaccans. The CM insisted that the banquet was not a lavish affair and that nobody was forced to attend. But 130,000 guests is still a mind-boggling number. However, according to the CM's special secretary the reason for the high attendance was very simple. Okay, I think you better sit down for this...ready?
"This is the first wedding ceremony for the chief minister's family and every Malaccan wanted to take part. Even estate workers wearing slippers stood in line to shake hands with the bride and bridegroom."
Does that make you want to scream NIAMAH!!! ?
Go ahead. Stick your head out the car window. Open your office door.
Feel better now? Thank you.
