The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has designated 11 counties in Alabama as natural disaster areas because of losses caused by drought that began April 1, 2011, and continues.
The counties are: Baldwin, Barbour, Coffee, Covington, Dale, Escambia, Geneva, Henry, Houston, Mobile and Russell
Farmers and ranchers in the following counties in Alabama also qualify for natural disaster assistance because their counties are contiguous:
Bullock Butler Clarke Conecuh
Lee Macon Monroe Pike
Farmers and ranchers in the following counties in Florida, Georgia and Mississippi also qualify for natural disaster assistance because their counties are contiguous:
Escambia Holmes Jackson Okaloosa Santa Rosa Walton
Chattahoochee Early Quitman Stewart
Clay Muscogee Seminole
George Greene Jackson
All counties listed above were designated natural disaster areas Sept. 21, 2011, making all qualified farm operators in the designated areas eligible for low interest emergency (EM) loans from USDA's Farm Service Agency (FSA), provided eligibility requirements are met.
Farmers in eligible counties have eight months from the date of the declaration to apply for loans to help cover part of their actual losses.
FSA will consider each loan application on its own merits, taking into account the extent of losses, security available and repayment ability. FSA has a variety of programs, in addition to the EM loan program, to help eligible farmers recover from adversity.
USDA also has made other programs available to assist farmers and ranchers, including the Supplemental Revenue Assistance Program (SURE), which was approved as part of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008; the Emergency Conservation Program; Federal Crop Insurance; and the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program. Interested farmers may contact their local USDA Service Centers for further information on eligibility requirements and application procedures for these and other programs.
Additional information is also available online at http://disaster.fsa.usda.gov.

Where does the profit from the Arizona Lottery go?
PHOENIX (KSAZ) - The lottery is big business, we all know some of the money is given back to the community from education to parks, it amounts to millions of dollars.
The Arizona Lottery is making more than $1,700 a minute in ticket sales. It's not just from Jackpot winners and retailers who get a payday when people play the lottery. Profits from the sale of scratchers and drawings are used to pay for more than a dozen community programs and into the state's general fund.
In 2015 the Arizona Lottery made nearly $750 million in sales.
So what does the lottery do with all the profits? A lot of it goes tot he winners, some of it goes to lottery retailers, and a big chunk goes to state programs. For the past three years the lottery has given $176 million to the state.
More than $100 million went into the State General Fund. $18 million went into health programs. $11 million went into mass transit programs. $10 million went to the Arizona Game and Fish Department.

|Cella's Review
Politics, Culture, the Public Square
". . . And beer was drunk with reverence, as it ought to be." — G. K. Chesterton
Friday, April 30, 2004 My recent essay on censorship appeared in a revised form on TCS yesterday. posted by Paul Cella | 8:50 AM |
Daniel Pipes reports on an event encouraging in its aspirations, but more disappointing in its results. The fact that it has been two and a half years since September 11 and this is the first event, however small, of its kind, is perhaps the most disheartening fact of all. We blind ourselves willingly to its implications. posted by Paul Cella | 8:49 AM |
Wednesday, April 28, 2004 Sen. Zell Miller has a very good idea. (via Orrin Judd.) posted by Paul Cella | 6:36 PM |
Thursday, April 22, 2004 I spent some time yesterday morning listening to the peculiarly strenuous arguments of a triumvirate of radio disc jockeys; their indignation was directed against the recent gestures and indeed solid actions by our public officials to curtail the tiresome crassness that has burgeoned on public airwaves. The indignation of these DJs was palpable and quite sincere; they are, it seems, convinced that the dismissal of certain notorious personalities, and the chastisement through monetary fines of others, comprise in implication a profound threat to our liberty as Americans.
It is abundantly clear that these people do not quite grasp the significance of the event that precipitated what to them has become a horror show, namely, the half-time show of the Super Bowl. Full understanding eludes them; and it eludes them precisely because the half-time show, for them, barely rose to the level of significance. Things very much like it, in substance and certainly in vulgarity, were part of their daily beard of entertainment: It was a bit more flagrant, perhaps, but hardly different in kind from what appears hourly on MTV.
But — and this is important, so pay attention DJs — for a very sizable portion of the American citizenry, and in particular, for a very sizable portion of the voting citizenry, the half-time show was quite a shock indeed. More: it was as if Viacom (the corporation broadcasting both the game and the half-time debauchery) had pulled back the curtain for a moment, to reveal what goes back there in the gloom. The smoke cleared for a few minutes, and Americans did not like what they saw. The light shone in the darkness and the darkness knew it not.
In short, the class of people that still, even at this late date in the progress of egalitarian leveling, retains a considerable bulk of the political power in this country — that is, traditional families with children — got a good look at what awaits their children from the entertainment industry, and reacted as sober citizens of a republic do to brazen depravity. The revelation could not be undone by all the silver-tongued rhetoric about the First Amendment in the world. Clear-headed parents will not be argued into enslaving their children to vice. A predator is not beheld with equanimity by the prey.
Do our Libertines expect fathers to shred bitter tears when "shock jocks" are fired because of pressure from the FCC? Howard Stern fancied himself a victim of "McCarthyism," but what he really was the victim of was common sense. The American citizen tends to be a rather indulgent sort of fellow, but one cannot treat his standards of decency with contempt forever without incurring a penalty.
And that is precisely the point. There is no sense in an entertainer, and the corporation promoting him, going out of his way to shock and insult, and then recoiling in astonishment when his insults are returned with solid blows. Spit in a man's face and resent his irritation? That is behavior of an imbecile. Kick a man in the shin and begrudge him his anger? Could anything be more indicative of unmanly stupidity? Such a mentality is akin to that which imagines the slave as appreciative of his degradation; it conceives of slavishness in others to rival its own impiety and arrogance.
Someone will reply with shrill bombast by citing the First Amendment, as if the issue were beyond debate. Very well, but let him first acquaint himself with the debate as it unfolded in American history. Let him read of the history of loyal oaths and censorship in this country; of which side usually had the upper hand and why. He can begin with Leonard Levy's The Legacy of Suppression. Let him reflect on the fact that most of the same lionized legislators who passed the Bill of Rights also passed the Alien and Sedition Acts. Let him consider the specifically American derivation of phrases like "tarred and feathered" and "run out town on a rail." Let him calculate the settled opinion which allowed North Carolina to retain in her state constitution until 1876 the following clause: "That no person, who shall deny the being of God or the truth of the Protestant religion, or the divine authority of the Old or New Testaments, or who shall hold religious principles incompatible with the freedom and safety of the State, shall be capable of holding any office or place of trust or profit in the civil department within this State."
In fine, let it be noted that the First Amendment, whatever its intended meaning, is still contained within the larger context of the Constitution, which sets out its purposes, broadly conceived, in its Preamble:
At the least, I interpret this carefully worded preface or introduction, which is unaccountably ignored, as an admonition against absolutizing any isolated provision of the document to which it is affixed. By its guidance, the Republic is to be conceived in its motion as an ongoing public argument. If I may paraphrase: We the people, by constituting ourselves one people, declare that we are locked in argument as citizens under God, about the refinement, enhancement and perfecting of our political order. Our government shall be as a dialogue in classical political philosophy: a sober and very serious, though certainly not dull attempt to approximate the good (that is virtuous) life of political man. And the sky is the limit as regards legislation, subject to a variety of sagacious qualifiers and codicils, so long as it emerges from the deliberate sense of the community (Publius's words) acting through assemblies of representative citizens to whom We the People have vouchsafed our authority.
The First Amendment ought not be made to trump the Preamble simply because its stirring language appeals to the sentiment of a certain faction. For it was precisely factionalism that provoked in the Framers the greatest fear. The faction that captures through some beguiling sophistry the legislation of the country, and removes a large and crucial issue from consideration by placing it above the public debate, has subverted the Constitution; and made of itself the nation's illegitimate Legislator. It is not that free speech should be obliterated, but rather that its lineaments should be subject, like every other issue between men of good faith, to the deliberation and scrutiny of the Republic — as, indeed, it has usually been — with the attendant imperfections and errancy of any activity of men here below.
The greatest of Legislation is that which adds virtue onto vice, thus mitigating the injury of the latter by habituation to the former. Edmund Burke explains this principle as it applies to inherited property: "The power of perpetuating our property in our families is one of the most valuable and interesting circumstances belonging to it, and that which tends the most to the perpetuation of society itself. It makes our weakness subservient to our virtue; it grafts benevolence even upon avarice." But today's First Amendment jurisprudence grafts depravity upon liberty; and puts liberty at the mercy of those most likely to abuse it and despise its authentic fruits. For who, if he really treasures Liberty, would countenance the relentless invasion of the precious liberty of the family which the Super Bowl half-time show exposed? There is no greater liberty than that which is embodied in the mother and father who raise their children as good citizens of a Republic, in the love of the truth as that love is reflected in an ongoing public conversation or dialogue which begins with the ringing phrase: "we hold these truths."
Let the DJs say what they will, no adamantine abstraction, rent free of the larger context of this Republic's Constitution, should be made to prejudice that liberty, and have its base prejudice protected by law.posted by Paul Cella | 12:47 PM |
Tuesday, April 20, 2004 Everyone who cares about hockey reads Colby Cosh's NHL playoffs page, right? If you don't, start. Even if you don't know much about hockey, start reading it. Mr. Cosh is a writer of rare skill and fecundity; and like all such writers, the declared topic under consideration frequently operates as a bridge to broader insight. Yesterday Cosh praised the announcing faculties of a certain Canadian Broadcasting Corporation hockey announcer, a comment which occasioned this digression:
Now that is solid stuff; and it applies to most sports. It is rather astonishing how rarely an intelligent former athlete develops into an able announcer. And it is all the more astonishing because the problem seems not so much to be a failure to acquire broadcasting skills, but an inability to provide astute analysis of the game.
Mr. Cosh is also a columnist for Canada's National Post. His most recent column is here.posted by Paul Cella | 6:50 PM |
Friday, April 16, 2004 Mere rumors are enough to cause all this. Could there be a clearer and more resounding rebuttal of the glib and self-serving argument that there is no way to stop illegal immigration? All that is needed in the will to enforce the law. posted by Paul Cella | 11:42 AM |
There are few men writing today with as unflinching an eye for the depraved as Theodore Dalrymple. The narrative he relates here is representative: the detached view, almost clinical, the brilliant prose, calm authority; most importantly, the refusal to lapse into deadening cynicism, that is, the refusal to abandon the moral imagination. Dalrymple's world is a wasteland, but his imagination is alive and his eye is mercifully free of all the cant and obscurantism of modern social science. He chronicles the slow, excruciating decay of Civilization into Barbarism. If this world is what we hope to bring to Iraq, the great glorious ideal of modern liberal democracy, then we bring a plague. posted by Paul Cella | 11:38 AM |

Thursday, April 15, 2004 Noah Millman is back from a Passover hiatus with a pair of brilliant blogs (here and here): hard-headed, incisive, fair, well-written pieces. Both are rather lengthy for the format, but I urge everyone to read them carefully. posted by Paul Cella | 2:25 PM |
It appears that Osama bin Laden (assuming this latest tape was indeed him) has taken the logical step of trying to pry Europe loose from the anti-terror coalition. Moreover, he is shrewd enough to recognize that he is best served by appealing directly to the enervated and languid European populace. Europe's leaders have of course rejected his offer, but it must be tempting even to them. Orrin Judd thinks they should take it. "Europe has no dog in a fight between Judeo-Christianity and Islamicism," he writes. But his language belies the emollients which he applies to the stark face of reality. It may be that there is no "Islamicism" but just Islam; that our age has simply witnessed the resumption of a confrontation nearly as ancient as the two great faiths which have struggled for the soul of human civilization for 1400 years.
It is comforting to think of Judeo-Christianity as a disembodied essence, detached from solid forms of reality: a church, a community, a nation or civilization; it is easy to make of it a Platonic ideal, which we approach but never attain, and which at the moment is best approached in America. It is comforting and easy — and it is naturally American — but it is wrong, I fear. St. Paul's words in the Epistle to the Romans comprise a stirring rebuke to this tendency: "We are members one of another." Or again in 1 Corinthians: "For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ." The concrete, physical imagery here is unmistakable: Christianity is not only a set of ideas, but community of souls, stretching across time and space. To be a Christian is, yes, to assent to the doctrines of the faith, but also it is to be part of that community, a member of that community.
Christianity cannot be torn free from its historical body Christendom without the most violent of surgeries. The blow we would sustain if we were to simply give up on Europe — the Europe of which Hilaire Belloc once wrote, "Europe is the Faith, and the Faith is Europe" — is severe. To allow Islam — or Islamicism, if you insist — to retake what was once the Western Roman Empire, as it did the Eastern Roman Empire, is to bow supinely before catastrophe. The catastrophe may indeed come, but let us not be silent or cynically mild about it. Let us not pretend that if Chartres were replaced by a mosque it would be none of our business. Let us not forget the prophetic office.
There is no denying that Europe is decadent; some will say she is dying, though Europe has seen dark days before — some of which lasted so long they achieved the appellation of Dark Age. But can we deny that her decadence is merely a more advanced form of our own; that her death merely presages our own? And neither is there any denying that to sever ourselves from this our parent would be as traumatic as cutting off a limb, for we are members one of another.posted by Paul Cella | 1:10 PM |
Tuesday, April 13, 2004 I have a column up on The American Spectator website which will be familiar to regular readers. I cannot take credit for the wonderfully clever headline, though. posted by Paul Cella | 3:41 PM |
Saturday, April 10, 2004 Most people familiar with contemporary films know that Groundhog Day is among the very best — a "sleeper" movie, which achieved its lasting and deserved fame in large part by word of mouth. It is a classic example of Chesterton's quip that funny is not the opposite of serious; it is merely the opposite of unfunny. Michael P. Foley, writing in Touchstone magazine, examines the film's seriousness with supple intelligence and insight, though I fear that he neglects its funniness, which is unfortunate but understandable. So let it be said: Groundhog Day is good for quite a number of healthy laughs; not chuckles, but solid laughs. posted by Paul Cella | 11:20 AM |
Friday, April 09, 2004 Another excellent article on the stupidity of the 9/11 Commission: George Neumayr at The American Spectator has the deceitfulness of liberal outrage dead-to-rights:
He goes on to point out that only one member of the Commission even asked the hard (i.e., the important) questions. As for the others? A lot of sound and fury . . . you know the rest.

Saturday, April 03, 2004 Come to California illegally, and you will be awarded, at tax-payer expense, an in-state tuition at California state universities; come to California legally, or from another state in the Union, and you will have to pay full fare.

Thursday, April 01, 2004 Two new books committed to a serious attempt to reconcile Reason and Revelation — books written by thinkers of a school which tends toward the view that such a reconciliation is impossible — have received some fascinating reviews. Joseph Bottum and Albert Keith Whitaker are representative. The question is whether Socratic "pure" philosophy can penetrate and thus illuminate Revelation without demystifying and thus undermining it. St. Thomas Aquinas stands, of course, as the great figure affirming the possibility, indeed the necessity, of reconciliation, but he followed Aristotle to critique the Platonic Socrates. I'm already in over my head; go read the reviews. The stakes could hardly be higher. posted by Paul Cella | 9:39 AM |
Mark Krikorian's illuminating NRO essay on the coalitions shaped by the immigration debate concludes rather pointedly:
Mr. Kirkorian marshals substantial evidence to support that last contention. It is an ugly record of dubious associations that the Open Borders ideologues have amassed.posted by Paul Cella | 9:35 AM |

Dave Matthews loped out onto the Meadows Music Theatre stage, where he will be closing his record- setting, two-year tour this weekend as the most popular rock act in America, and looked up quizzically at the cheering crowd, as if he were as perplexed by his overwhelming popularity as outside observers must be.
After selling out the Meadows four times in three years, Matthews has sold it out three times this year. The run of shows, through Sunday, marks the biggest engagement by a rock act in Hartford history.

May 29, 2016 – 2nd Sunday after Pentecost
This morning we start five Sundays on the stories of the prophet Elijah found in the first and second book of Kings. As we get started, here's some of the backstory to help you have a better sense of what's going on in this morning's reading.
After the reign of King David and then his son Solomon, the kingdom of Israel was divided. There are a series of kings who rule in each kingdom. Many of whom are bad. But King Ahab, who we hear about in today's reading, is one of the worst. The story says he "did evil in the sight of God—more than had all the kings of Israel who were before him." (16.30) Chief among his failings was his marriage to a Canaanite princess who was a Baal worshiper and then Ahab's own allegiance to the Canaanite god Baal rather than the God of Israel.
During Ahab's reign, there is a long drought in Israel and with it widespread famine. About three years into the drought, Elijah, the prophet of the God of Israel, and King Ahab meet up. They both blame the other for being the source of the drought. Ahab blames Elijah because Elijah said early on that there would be a drought. Elijah blames Ahab because Ahab has broken the covenant relationship with the God of Israel by worshiping Baal.
So Elijah proposes a contest between their gods. With the people of Israel as witnesses, 450 prophets of Baal meet Elijah on Mount Carmel. Each side will prepare a sacrifice and then call on their god to send fire from heaven to burn the sacrifice. The god that sends the fire will prevail.
This sort of competition between gods is typically not in our direct experience so let me say a few words about it. In a world where there are multiple gods, there's always a tension about which god is the most powerful. We have multiple gods in our culture including status, money, power, family, beauty, material possessions; but they don't typically have a face-off in this manner.
In the ancient world, each god had a particular responsibility or trait and there were frequently competitions between them. Baal was the god of fertility and storms. Agrarian people, as the Canaanites and Israelites were, needed rain each year for their crops. A drought would signal the powerlessness of Baal. When there was rain it would be presumed that Baal was powerful.
So the prophet Elijah tells King Ahab, "Let's see whose god—yours or mine—is more powerful."
Read: 1 Kings 18.20-39
Now if your eyes slid on to verse 40 you saw that the end of this particular story is that Elijah slays all the prophets of Baal. (A detail the lectionary would like us to skip over.) Presumably this is in retribution for all the prophets of the God of Israel who were killed by Ahab's wife, Queen Jezebel.
In our day of interfaith dialogue and in our city where the Festival of Faiths just took place, I hope this story feels terrible to you. Two sides jousting (almost literally) to see whose god is more powerful. An adherent of one faith mocking the god of another. The losers of the religious competition being killed by the victor. This is not the kind of religion we want to be part of. The last thing we need in our world is more violence between people of different religious traditions.
Let me first say I don't see the point of the two stories, from 1 Kings and Luke, as being about a difference between the God portrayed in the Old Testament and the portrayal of God in the New Testament or a comparison between Jews and Christians. I don't think that is what this story is about.
Let me give you a little context for 1 Kings. The final form of the Book of Kings came about during the exile of the Israelites in Babylon. I think that is really important to understanding its stories. In the time of exile, those who are exiled often become strict about their identity, fearing assimilation with their captors. It is important for maintaining culture, tradition and religion for those who are exiled to band together, to shun any move toward syncretism or pluralism. And so a militancy about behavior and belief, a sharp drawing of the boundaries, a precise understanding of who is good and who is evil often comes about.
Exile is an experience of enormous upheaval. And there are other circumstances of upheaval where people take a similar defensive and exclusive posture.
We see that in our Book of Confessions in the PC(USA). The statements of belief in that book from the time of the Reformation—statements we say we will be guided by—are replete with horrible words about Catholics and Jews; words most of us would never say today. But in a time of enormous upheaval as the Reformation was, it was important for the Protestants—those who were leaving what had been THE church—it was important for them to say "We are not THAT." And we know that people were killed over the things they believed—or didn't believe—during the Reformation. I'm not condoning any of it. I am saying it is a too often a consequence in times of stress and change. It's kind of an adolescent developmental stage—coming into our own we often draw strict lines about what we're not and will never be (although the truth is we'll probably discover we're a lot more of what we think we don't ever want to be than we want to admit).
Look at what's happening in Germany right now. Last year more than a million refugees and migrants arrived in Germany. Now, people in Germany are asking, "What is German—and how German do you have to be to belong to Germany?"[1] And not surprisingly a very vocal answer is coming from Germany's right-wing party that is advocating for a homogeneous, Christian and "pure" German culture that they experience to be under threat from immigrant cultures.[2]
Or look at what's happening in our own country with political talk of building a wall at our southern border to keep Mexicans out, deporting 11 million people who are undocumented and excluding Muslims from entering our country at all.
In the story from Luke's gospel, a Roman centurion reaches out to Jesus on behalf of his slave who was ill and near death. The centurion—a commander of a division of the Roman army—is a Gentile but he appears to worship the God of Israel and obviously knows something about Jesus. He sends some of his Jewish friends to Jesus on his behalf to ask Jesus to heal his slave. Jesus is on his way to the centurion's house when the Roman leader sends word, "You don't need to come to my house. I'm not worthy of that. I know how my world works. I say the word and things happen. All you need to do is say the word and my servant will be healed." And Jesus is amazed at the faith of the centurion. And when the people returned to the centurion's house, the servant had been restored to good health.
The centurion doesn't trust in the miracle working power of Jesus. He trusts in Jesus' person and Jesus' authority. Like Elijah, Jesus too is a prophet of Israel. The centurion recognizes the Divine power at work in Jesus. Jesus speaks and with his words he subdues death-dealing forces with the power of God's word.[3]
In this story it is a Roman centurion, one who is an enforcer of the oppressive and occupying Roman empire, who approaches Jesus. It is a Gentile, not a Jew, whose request for healing Jesus answers.
Occupation is a circumstance of upheaval and fear—a time when the boundaries can get drawn narrowly. Who can be included and who must be excluded. Who is right and who is wrong. Who is good and who is evil. In the ordinary course of things, it would not be unexpected for Jesus to have said, "I have only come for the house of Israel. I don't go to the house of Roman centurions." But he doesn't. As the Roman centurion recognizes the person and power of Jesus, Jesus recognizes the person and faith of the Roman centurion.
"When the political rhetoric of [our] day is so charged with fear of those who are different—from a different country, professing a different faith, living in a different neighborhood, looking different from us, having different needs or hopes,"[4] or being required to use a different restroom—here we have a story where Jesus is amazed at the faith of a person many might say he should shun.
David Lose, the president of Lutheran Theological Seminary reminds us that all through the bible there is a theological thread running through that says "God loves everyone. God works through everyone…And we may be surprised who God chooses, who God works through, and who God commends."
Now that's a fairly familiar liberal theological posture. But I think even we liberal Christians can be quick to draw the lines about who God is working through and whose faith is commended by God. We too can be threatened and fearful and allow that fear to take us to places where we draw the boundaries tightly. When the boundaries are determined about who's right and who's wrong, I wonder if we aren't more likely to miss the presence of God because we think we know what to expect.
I'm not suggesting sloppy thinking or an everything goes mentality.
Think back in your own experience. I imagine there was a time when there was someone—or a community of someones—whose faith surprised you; whose witness opened your heart and mind to new possibilities. Maybe it was someone who was gay or transgender and Christian. Maybe it was a woman called to ministry in the church. Maybe it was a conservative Christian. Maybe a Buddhist from Vietnam or a Muslim from Iraq or a young African American man from West Louisville.
Where have you been surprised?
Perhaps, following the way of Jesus, we can continue to cultivate our ability to be amazed, to be impressed and awed by "whom God is using and [the people who are] similarly committed to sharing the good news of God's love for all."[5]

I just tested this, and it is still possible to assign AP's to an Auto-banned account. I don't know if it's meant to be this way, but this could certainly be abused to balance out assignments.
IIRC, you cannot assign AP's to a antipoint-banned account. This should probably be the same.

Pain On The Top Of Your Foot
Generally, pain on the top of the foot is an inflammation of the tendons that straighten the toes, which run along the top of the foot and are called extensor tendons. Thus, the clinical name for this injury is extensor tendonitis.
Extensor tendonitis is most often caused by lacing your shoes too tightly or having an ill-fitting shoe, in which case the lace creates a pressure point along the top of the foot. Swelling can often occur and it's very likely you see a large bump or nodule somewhere on the tendon itself.
As with black toenails, extensor tendonitis can be extremely painful as the tendon will rub against the shoe with almost every step. Luckily, despite the presence of a nodule and swelling, this "injury" is not very serious.
RELATED: Prevent Injury Now, Avoid It Later
Treatment And Prevention
The most effective treatment is to change your shoe lacing pattern and loosen your laces slightly, especially while you're bothered by the pain. Arthur Lydiard developed a lacing pattern called ladder lacing, which reduces pressure on the top of the foot by not allowing the laces to cross over the middle of the metatarsals. Click here for detailed instructions on how to lace your shoes this way.
You can also ice the top of your foot frequently to reduce the inflammation. Once the tendon is no longer inflamed or tender to the touch, you'll be relatively pain-free.
This is as an "injury" that you can run through if the pain is not impacting your gait. If you do find running in shoes to be too painful, even after switching up your lacing, you can try running barefoot in the grass. Just be sure not to overdo it if your feet aren't accustomed to barefoot running. You don't want to develop a more serious injury.

Equality is such a simple concept at a high level, but don't fool yourself. The devil is in the details. Correctly implementing equality is actually much harder than you'd think, and most code I've seen has done it wrong. There are a lot of very subtle rules you should obey when implementing equality that are easy to forget or to implement incorrectly.
Pragmatic Languages
I was influenced heavily early on in my career by the book The Pragmatic Programmer: From Journeyman to Master1. One of the best pieces of advice given in that book was to learn new languages. That's a continuous process. You should never stop learning new languages. Most developers basically learn a single language and spend their career programming in it, but the pragmatic programmer knows that this is a mistake. There's the obvious problem: languages come and go, and thus so can your career. This even happens to programmers that use languages "that will never go away." For instance, COBOL is still used pretty heavily, and I'm not about to predict when it will ever truly disappear. Despite that, I saw many a COBOL developer who's career ended in the late 80s and early 90s as the demand for the language waned. That's a silly position to be in, since demand for programmers was on the rise.
Over on the Wyam Gitter Jamie Phillips (@phillipsj) made a casual remark about using my PowerShell script I use in this blog's source for creating new blog posts, and how he was trying to modify it for draft usage. That blossomed into a whole new project under the Wyamio organization called PoshWyam that I've been hacking at for a few days now. It's in preliminary (read "alpha", not even "beta") state right now, but it is ready enough for people to use and provide feedback. Once we are ready this will go up on PowerShell Gallery, but until then if you want to use it you'll need to clone the repo.

Stolen Summer by S.A. Meade at Pride Publishing

|Gay / Contemporary / Romance

The horror of Evan and Colin's stolen summer may be over but the nightmares remain. Can their love survive the fallout?
The last thing journalist Evan Harrison expects to hear, when he returns from covering the war in Afghanistan, is that his best friend, Colin Williams, is in love with him.
Colin, an Oxford Professor with a poet's soul and a roving eye, turns out to be a temptation Evan can't resist. What he discovers is that sex with Colin is hot, wild and relentless. The two of them embark on a passionate affair and Evan knows he's going to spend his days with Colin - after one last assignment.
A western journalist in Pakistan is too tempting a target for local insurgents. Evan's 'Oh-shit' sense fails dismally when he is taken hostage and spends four months refusing to let his captors grind him down by clinging to memories of the lover he left behind. Freedom from captivity, however, doesn't bring freedom from terror. The legacy of Evan's ordeal results in meltdowns and nightmares that threaten to destroy his life with Colin. He can't even seek comfort in lovemaking because the pills intended to save his sanity kill his desire.
Evan seizes a chance to put his nightmares behind him by taking one final assignment, covering unrest in Jordan. Colin sees Evan's decision as the end of a relationship he fought hard to save. If Evan makes it back to England in one piece, winning Colin back will be the toughest assignment he's ever faced.
This story has a very "real" feel to it, and an extremely "real" message behind it: do not take your life for granted, and never assume your lover will understand or accept your priorities and decisions. One of the things that fascinated me about this book was the difference between Evan's point of view (not to mention his lack of readiness to change it even the tiniest bit) and Colin's opposing opinion which, to most people, seemed the more rational of the two. Yet every time I got to see things from Evan's point of view, he seemed as rational as Colin.
Evan is a photo journalist who is stubborn, tends to shy away from confrontation, and is loyal to a fault. He follows his nose until the story is written, but because he cannot give up, he also puts himself into danger professionally. He is so focused on his job that there is almost no time left for a personal life, and Colin is one of the few partners who accepts that. When Evan finally manages to officially break things off with his girlfriend (whom he hasn't been close to in a long time – he just didn't want to face her), the relief of being with Colin is palpable. They are truly right for each other. The description of Evan's time in captivity during his kidnapping in Pakistan is awful, his recovery is long and painful – and then he goes back to another dangerous assignment? I was yelling at him not to be so stupid. He is one of those people who think they are invincible – even though the episode in Pakistan should have taught him better.
Colin is an amazing man who clearly loves Evan more than his own life (or sanity). The way he takes care of Evan and helps him recover marks him for sainthood, as far as I am concerned. At the same time, he also enables Evan to continue with his (sorry) idiotic pursuit of covering "just one more story". Yes, he may have gone on this last assignment for the money and so he never has to go back – but to Colin (and a large part of me) those are all excuses.
This is a great book, with characters that have a lot of struggling to do before they can find a balance. Evan's growth is significant, and, unfortunately, comes with a lot of pain. I liked the realism of the story, the depth of the emotions both Evan and Colin go through, and the fact that it wasn't easy for them to figure out how to make it work. If you like struggling, flawed characters, men who know what they want but have to accept that their goals may need to change, and if you want to follow them as they battle it out both inside and outside the bedroom, you will probably like this novel.

College basketball results, March 3
Trey Burke stole the ball from Keith Appling near midcourt and went in alone for a dunk with 22 seconds remaining, then made another steal in the final seconds to give No. 4 Michigan a pulsating 58-57 win over No. 9 Michigan State on Sunday.
The visiting Spartans (22-7, 11-5 Big Ten) had the ball with the shot clock off at 56-all, but Burke's first big defensive play enabled Michigan (24-5, 11-5) to take the lead. After State's Derrick Nix made one of two free throws and Mitch McGary missed the front end of a 1-and-1 for Michigan, Burke stole a pass by Gary Harris to end it.
The Michigan State loss clinches at least a share of the Big Ten title for Indiana.
The Wolverines avenged a 75-52 loss at Michigan State last month.
Burke had 21 points and eight assists. Michigan won despite going 0-for-12 from three-point range, which seemed like an impossible turn of events after the defensively maligned Wolverines lost at Penn State on Wednesday night.
Adreian Payne had 17 points and Harris added 16 for the Spartans.
Purdue 69, #17 Wisconsin 56:
D.J. Byrd scored 16 of his 22 points in the second half and the visiting Boilermakers got the upset. ... Terone Johnson added 16 points for Purdue (14-15, 7-9 Big Ten), which had lost three straight road games and four of five overall. Purdue took control with a 21-3 run in the second half during which Byrd had nine points and Johnson eight. ... Jared Berggren scored 13 points and Ryan Evans and Sam Dekker had 10 apiece for the Badgers (20-9, 11-5).
#23 Pittsburgh 73, Villanova 64:
Talib Zanna scored nine of his 14 points in overtime for the host Panthers (23-7, 11-6 Big East). ... Zanna added a career-high 19 rebounds for Pitt. ... Ryan Arcidiacono led Villanova with 23 points but the Wildcats (18-12, 9-8) lost a chance to pad their NCAA Tournament resume.
Washington 72, Washington St. 68:
Scott Suggs hit a tiebreaking three-pointer with 4 minutes remaining and finished with 23 points, and the Huskies handed the visiting Cougars their ninth straight loss. ... It was Suggs' fifth three-pointer, tying his career high, and he added four more free throws as the Huskies (16-13, 8-8) took a 65-57 lead with 2:28 remaining. ... Brock Motum and Royce Woolridge led Washington State (11-18, 2-14) with 18 points each.
Top 10 women
#5 Duke 65, #15 North Carolina 58:
Freshman Alexis Jones scored a season-high 22 points and the host Blue Devils racked up their ACC-record 17th regular-season league victory. ... Elizabeth Williams added 13 points for the Blue Devils (27-2, 17-1), who overcame a season-high 29 turnovers.
#7 Penn State 82, #20 Nebraska 67:
Maggie Lucas scored 34 points to lead the Lady Lions (24-4, 14-2) to their second straight outright Big Ten championship and end the host Cornhuskers' 10-game win streak.
#10 Kentucky 78, #8 Tennessee 65:
A'dia Mathies scored 13 second-half points, including back-to-back three-pointers during the host Wildcats' 19-6 run. ... Mathies, Kentucky's No. 2 career scorer, finished with 16 points in her home finale. ... Jennifer O'Neill added four three-pointers for 16 points for Kentucky (25-4, 13-3).
#9 Maryland 88, Wake Forest 61:
Tianna Hawkins scored 18 points, Alyssa Thomas added 16, and the host Terps snapped their first losing streak of the season. ... Coming off losses to Top 25 foes Duke and Florida State, the Terrapins (23-6, 14-4 ACC) led 38-22 at halftime.

The biggest Frank Ocean story Friday, before news broke that Chipotle is suing him, was the impending arrival of a new Converse-sponsored collaboration with Diplo and Clash members Mick Jones and Paul Simonon. That song is here now. It's called "Hero," and it presents a classic Ocean vocal against a retro-futurist sound that might work as a prom theme from 1961 or 2027. The West Los Angeles Children's Choir also features. Download it below.

Accuser Calls Cain "Pathological Liar" With "Complete Amnesia"
Sharon Bialek says Herman Cain is lying about not remembering her.
Cain told reporters Tuesday that he had never seen Sharon Bialek, of Mundelein, before a news conference at which she accused him of inappropriate conduct 14 years ago. Bialek says that's not true.
Bialek told WFLD-Channel 32 on Wednesday that Cain has "complete amnesia." She says, "Pathological liars usually do those kinds of things."Click here for reuse options!

Ever sent an email you really wish you hadn't? Enter Pluto - the self-destructing email service created by two Harvard law students.
Pluto allows users to unsend emails at any time, unlike Gmail which currently only offers their users five seconds to stop any embarrassing errors being sent. With Pluto, you also have the ability to edit sent emails if the recipient has not yet opened the email.
Pluto currently has a lengthy waiting list, but we've tested out its main features to see if and how it can really protect you from the embarrassment of silly typos.
When you sign up to the service, you send emails from Pluto's main page using your own email client such as Gmail, Apple Mail or Android. There is no need to download any other apps or programs, which is a huge benefit.
In terms of sending emails from Pluto's homepage itself, I find the design rather off-putting. However, the service is still in beta stage and no doubt the service will be developing in the future.
You can also set up your email client to send emails (including Gmail. Apple Mail, Android amongst others) directly from Pluto. This sets firstname.lastname@example.com as the email sender, which you can use from your email service still with your settings on Pluto. Pluto has a lengthy tutorial explaining how to do this here.
When you send emails to others, the text in the email displayed as an image. I assume that this has been done to stop recipients copying and pasting the content of the message. While this is a bonus to privacy, it does make the text slightly unclear. At one point, the image could not be displayed at all:
Another downside is that it seems as if the email can be viewed as text and then copied and pasted if you click "view this email as text". This therefore makes the image feature seem rather pointless – but perhaps there is a technical reason behind it.
In terms of unsending emails, the emails did not disappear from my recipient's inbox once expiring. However, it did say that the message had expired once it was clicked on:
You can also edit the email once it has been sent – as long as the person has not opened the email. Once editing, Pluto displayed the message: "Unsending & expiration does not get rid of the email subject - only the email body and all attachments". Although it looks like there's no room for error in the subject of emails, this is an extremely helpful feature.
An excellent, and undoubtedly my favourite, feature of Pluto is that when you do send an email, you are able to see when the person opens the email. It's an excellent way to keep tabs on who's responding to you, and who's not so eager.
Overall, Pluto is an excellent idea that addresses possible concerns over email privacy. Although there are definitely improvements to be made in terms of the design and functionality, there is no doubt that the two founders have created a unique product.

This free online greatest common factor tool will find the GCF of 2, 3, or 4 numbers at once with the click of a button.
Plus, in addition to displaying the GCF, the calculator will also display the GCF divisors and all factors for the numbers entered.
Also, if you would ever like to save some time when attempting to find the least common multiple (LCM) for up to 4 numbers, be sure to check out my Least Common Multiple Calculator.
The factors of a number is the set of all non-zero numbers that divide into the number evenly. For example, the factors of the number 12 would be as follows:
Common factors occur when two or more numbers share one or more of the same factors. For example, the numbers 12 and 20 have the following factors, with the common factors appearing in orange:
The greatest common factor (A.K.A: GCF, Greatest Common Divisor, GCD) is the highest factor that two or more numbers share. Referring back to the numbers 12 and 20, the GCF would be 4 based on the following set of common factors:
The most common use of finding the GCF is for reducing or simplifying fractions, which we will cover on the various fraction calculator pages.
With that, let's use the Greatest Common Factor Calculator to find the GCF of up to 4 different numbers.

Laura asks Joe, the in-house chef at Gozney, what's the big deal with Roccbox?
Having worked for years in Gastro pubs and a host of award-winning fine dining restaurants across the UK, Joe has a wealth of experience cooking in a range of professional catering environments.
Now a Gozney team member, Joe spends his time developing custom Roccbox ready recipes and training experienced and novice chef's in the use of Gozney commercial ovens. Joe also plays a part in the innovation and development of new products at Gozney, adding a chef's valuable opinion to the innovative developments taking place at Gozney HQ.
So Joe, what is Roccbox?
Roccbox is an ingenious, compact, high-heat stone oven. Capable of a totally unique range of cooking techniques, Roccbox is basically a large, professional stone oven, condensed down into a nifty piece of cooking equipment.
Tell me then Joe, what's the big deal with Roccbox? What makes it so special?
Apart from the obvious social benefits of cooking in Roccbox (when I cook in Roccbox at home, it's not long before someone wants to get involved as soon as you switch it on!) it brings me so much pleasure and it's not long before you have company. Cooking on the stove does not have the same inclusive appeal!
So, apart from the social and novel appeal of cooking in Roccbox, everyone's talking about pizza, what's the low down?
Roccbox has earnt its name as the best pizza oven, but it offers so much more than that.
We've had some incredible and experienced pizza chefs work with us down at Gozney HQ (Franco Manca, et al) and they laugh at the idea of an oven this compact performing in the same way as their professional equipment – but every single one of them is won over after one Roccbox pizza!
Neapolitan pizza is regarded as an art form for some, with ingredients and authenticity in cook taken very seriously. Roccbox has the incredible ability to produce authentic Neapolitan pizza at home, this is due to its stone floor and ability to reach 500°C/ 932°F.
Apart from pizza, Roccbox's unique dry heat environment is incredible for baked goods, such as breads and desserts. Professional chefs and bakers attempt to create similar results using water techniques in conventional ovens but Roccbox does it effortlessly. I challenge anyone to bake a better loaf than what can be achieved in Roccbox.
"Roccbox has earnt its name as the best pizza oven, but it offers so much more than that."
Apart from pizza, what are the specific benefits you experience as a chef when you use Roccbox?
The ability to use this compact stone oven at varying temperatures brings many benefits, especially if you are looking to experiment or broaden your horizons when cooking meat dishes.
At the high, dry temperatures in Roccbox something fantastic happens to meat! Fat renders down and caramelises, producing incredible flavour that anyone would be pushed to achieve without Roccbox.
Similar cooking results can be achieved in professional kitchens using commercial high temperature chargrills, however, Roccbox brings this specialist cooking technique home.
I cooked short ribs and steak with Roccbox just last week, these were infinitely better when cooked in Roccbox than in any other way I have cooked the dish previously.
"At the high, dry temperatures in Roccbox something fantastic happens to meat!"
So Roccbox is impressive when handling meat dishes, what about veggie options?
Roccbox has a lot to offer for unique meat cooking ability, but that is by no means restricted to just red meat. I have never worked with anything that can cook ingredients so quickly. Meats are seared to lock in flavour swiftly, but the same happens when cooking vegetables. Veggie dishes retain their crispiness and nutrients, whilst rapidly charring and browning adding additional flavours. High water content vegetables such as mushrooms and spinach are vastly improved with faster cook times as they don't steam in their own liquids.
So you noticed speedier meals cooked by Roccbox?
Definitely! The speed of which you can knock up meals is incredible. It serves to enthuse and entertain a hungry family with its faster results. However, as a chef used to working long, anti-social hours, I want to be able to share amazing food in the brief time I have to share with friends and family, Roccbox is perfect for that.

Idris Elba's Luther Will Be Back for a Third Season
The second season starts airing in the U.S. next month.
Idris Elba's imported police drama Luther will be back for a third season — or, since it's a British show, a third "series." Joy! Elba's Stringer Bel–ness is drastically diminished when he speaks with his native British accent, and lingering Wire vibes largely disappear when he plays the distraught, secretly vulnerable detective with a dark side. Luther is a police procedural, but it shares more of its creative and stylistic DNA with Dexter: It can be gory, certainly, and it's also visually distorted, which gives the show a sinister current of disorientation. Dexter is often supernaturally bright — in the Miami sunshine, maybe, or under Dex's surgical lights — while Luther goes for darkness and intense claustrophobia that make narrow London streets feel completely suffocating. The first season is on Netflix; the second season starts airing on BBC America September 28; and the third season starts filming in the next few months. [Shadow and Act/Indiewire]

ORANGEBURG, S.C. — An Orangeburg man has been arrested and charged with killing his girlfriend several months ago.
The Times and Democrat of Orangeburg reported (http://bit.ly/OpCJEX) 26-year-old Carlos Kemp has been charged with beating 28-year-old Ebony Renne Bryant in May.
Bryant's body was found last week under a pile of trash.
Orangeburg County Sheriff Leroy Ravenell said officers had been contacted in late June by Bryant's father, who said he had not heard from his daughter in more than a month.
Ravenell says officers questioned Kemp then and says Kemp provided information about Bryant that was later determined to be false.
Kemp appeared before a magistrate Tuesday who advised him on his rights. It was not clear if he has an attorney.

Before you take your children out the door and on to a ski trail to go cross-country skiing, you will need skis, boots, bindings and poles for a basic equipment package. Properly fitting equipment is key to a happy outing, so be ready to size the kids up correctly.
How to Size Cross-Country Skiing Equipment for Children
Find the proper length skis. In years past, proper cross-country ski length was determined by having the ski shopper raise one arm. A ski of the right length would match the distance from the wrist of the raised arm to the ground. Today, however, ski manufacturers have specific sizing for their skis based on a skier's weight and skiing ability. The more the skier weighs, the longer a ski will be needed. At a specialty ski store, the technician will measure your child's height and weight and take into account how advanced a skier the child is to determine the right length ski. Generally, a beginner skier will want a ski with more flexibility and width for more stability. A more advanced skier will want a stiffer ski and narrower width for speed and maneuverability. You will most likely want a touring/recreational ski for your child. The ski should measure 10 to 30 cm longer than your child's height. However, for young skiers, you will want to buy or rent skis no longer than the child's height. If you are a do-it-yourselfer, you might want to calculate out the measurements. Use this formula: (child's height in inches) x 2.54 + 20. Example: Billie stands 4 feet , 3 inches (51 inches x 2.54) + 20 = 129.54 + 20 = 149.54 cm. Billie will need a ski about 150 cm in length. If Billie is lighter than average, chose a ski one size smaller. If Billie is heavier than average, chose a ski one size larger.
Choose the boots. Sizing cross-country ski boots is the same as sizing your child for tennis shoes. Consider comfort and stability. For more ankle support, go with a mid-ankle cuff. Have your child wear the socks they will ski in when trying on ski boots. Have the child wear one pair of lightweight or medium-weight wool socks. For added warmth, the child can wear a liner sock made of synthetic materials or silk beneath the wool sock. The boot should fit snug. The child should be able to wiggle their toes, but the heel should have no slippage.
Select the proper bindings. If you are renting skis, the shop will fit your skis with the proper bindings. If you are buying from a specialty ski store, the bindings will be fit onto the ski at the time of purchase. More than one boot/binding system is available. If you are mix-matching boots/skis at garage sales, make sure the boot is compatible with the binding. Boot/binding systems are not interchangeable.
Select the poles. To find the right-sized poles, have your child lift an arm horizontal to the floor. With the pole tip on the floor, the handle should hit between the child's armpit and the middle of the shoulder.

It's officially a year since the coven's first ritual. I'm way too busy today (and tomorrow!) to write much immediately, but I do want to write up a "What I've learned this year" sort of post.
If there's anything you're particularly interested in seeing me discuss, please do let me know. (Comments here, on LiveJournal, or by email are more reliable than telepathy, smoke signals, or Morse code.)
L and I are spending the evening not in ritual, but in making music. Seems appropriate. (One of the musical groups whose concerts we regularly attend is doing a workshop at a local library: we're going. Should be fun!)

UNIVERSITY PARK -- Rowing isn't the only Olympic sport coming to Manatee-Sarasota.
The area will host four major pentathlon events, including the World Cup Finals in 2014 and 2016, a World Cup first-round event in 2015 and the Olympic team trials in 2016, the sport's international governing body announced Tuesday.
The Union International de Pentathlon Moderne chose Manatee-Sarasota over such cities as Cairo, Rome and Budapest that submitted bids. Most of the five pentathlon events -- equestrian show-jumping, fencing, swimming, running and pistol shooting -- will be held at the newly constructed Nathan Benderson Park, site of the 2017 World Rowing Championships.
"For the first time in over 40 years, the international championship for one of the oldest and grandest Olympic sports will return to the United States," said USA Pentathlon Executive Director Rob Stull in a statement. "Sarasota-Bradenton's cohesive vision and exceptional presentation secured World Cup events in each of the next three years; an amazing feat and a significant opportunity for the growth of Pentathlon in the United States and throughout North America."The 2014 World Cup Final will showcase the top 36 male and 36 female pentathlon athletes from around the world. Future events will include preparation for competitors in the 2016 Summer Olympics in Brazil.
A local committee headed up by former Congresswoman Katherine Harris and Paul Blackketter, head of the Suncoast Aquatic and Nature Center Associates, helped lead the charge to bring the events to the area.
"Winning these prestigious events constitutes a seminal moment in the evolution of Sarasota and Bradenton into truly world-class communities," Harris said. "The Pentathlon brings together a diverse array of Olympic sports and their associated communities, giving our region a tremendous opportunity for exposure to a broad global audience.
"Sarasota and Bradenton offer a unique sense of scale to this event. We have grown large enough to provide the necessary resources and support, but our small-town hearts will ensure that Pentathletes and fans never receive greater attention or a warmer welcome."

The Subaru Centre Differential or Viscous coupling performs the specific task of regulating torque between the front and rear wheels. During normal driving, the relationship of drive forces between the front and rear wheels is 50 : 50, when slip occurs and the speed of the front or rear wheels increases, torque is transmitted from the high-speed side to the low-speed side in accordance with the viscous coupling characteristics, and the driving force on the low side will increase.
1. Common Subaru Viscous coupling failures include; Vehicle drive line vibration that increases with temperature, vehicle binding or locking on turns, no all wheel function.
2. Causes for Subaru viscous coupling failure include: Incorrect tyre sizes front to rear, Extreme off road use, Exceeded life expectancy, Incorrect drive line ratios, poor repair method.
3.Subaru Gearbox stock a wide range of Subaru Viscous couplings for both 5 and 6 speed Gearboxes to suit all street and motorsport applications.

Jet Propulsion Laboratory is a well-known innovator in outer space, particularly in its search for "life out there". JPL is now innovating in the physical space to improve "life here". AWS IoT is critical to their innovations. See a re:Invent preview about how JPL, as an early adopter of AWS IoT, has prototyped voice control to ask questions of the room, the budget, or the system. They've also used it for controlling lights and sound to detect cyber security threats, rapid prototyping of robots, low-cost virtual windows to the outside, and much more. The results have been excellent. JPL will demonstrate and talk about these prototypes, including what worked and what didn't. They will also share the promise integrated serverless computing holds.

"Blog" is a Dirty Word
The post on his particular blog said that the entry I was reading would be his last. The gist of it was he said that his blog, like most of the blogosphere (who comes up with these names?) is really a waste and that he'd rather spend his time writing something he'd get paid for (he's a television writer in his real life (that's not an oxymoron is it?)).
This depressed me and in a way, I felt rather diminished for spending time on this little blog here. When I started this, my specific goal was to learn how to write in this format well, and secondly, simply to write in a medium conducive to my child raising and health recuperating schedule. Because of the kids, I haven't even spent the time on this that I'd like; getting more than forty five seconds of uninterrupted time is a rarity and with that kind of shattered concentration, it's hard to do anything well.
I understand where carving out the time to write something worth writing for a mere blog can be difficult and of course if he no longer wants to do it he be all means should quit. But it doesn't sit right when he says that most of the blogs out there are a waste of time, although I'm sure he's right. So who am I to argue that his isn't one of them?
At the bottome of his post were a number of comments from his readers wishing him well in the future as they wished he weren't going. This means he had READERS.
We all write because we want to be read. We want to do it well, we want other people to enjoy it and agree we do it well, and we want to be recognized, at least on some level, for doing it at all. The fact that he had READERS, however many, meant that to them, at least, his words on that blog were something other than a waste.
The decision of whether or not he has the time to continue writing it is his alone to make, of course. It's entirely up to him. When I poke around his personal web site as well as some of his earlier blog postings, he comes across as a knowledgable, humorous, and capable writer (at least of those things). Because he has READERS, others must agree. In a significant and real way, the fact that someone reads something gives it a certain validity and I don't think it should be scoffed at no matter what the intention may be.
It's easy in some circles to disparage people who read chest bearing, pulse throbbing, Fabio covered romance novels, or comic books, and even Martha Stewart magazines and horoscope predictions but AT LEAST THEY'RE READING. And that's the important thing.
So I'm sorry that this gentleman has decided to quit blogging, and I'm really sorry that he considers the remaining bloggers mostly wasters of effort, but I'm still writing this one in the hopes that one day, I may have READERS, and they may find at least in some small measure, that they've been interested in something I've said. Even if it doesn't include a lusty lord, a stable, and a buxom chambermaid. But who knows, tomorrow is another day...
