EDITOR'S NOTE: The following is Jonah Goldberg's weekly "news"letter, the G-File. Subscribe here to get the G-File delivered to your inbox on Fridays.
Dear Reader (Particularly the most morally upstanding sex robots among you),
I learned an important lesson about writing when I was a TV producer: The audience never knows what you don't show them.
What I mean by this is that if you cut something — an interview, a graphic, a fantastic montage of Godzilla wearing a sun dress with Mel Tormé on his shoulder while fighting all of the denizens of Monster Island — the viewer (or reader) doesn't know about it. The reason this is important is that the creator of any piece of work can never experience that work the same way the consumer can. When I read a long, edited essay or book I've written, I often can't help but focus on the stuff that's not there. I mourn all the "darlings" that had to be killed. But the audience can't miss what it doesn't know ever existed.
Anyway, I bring this up for two reasons. First, because I think this is a useful insight for young writers and others who tend to project their frustrations onto the reader.
Second, because I just cut an extended "Dear Reader" gag that replaced "Dear Reader" with "Dear Penthouse" and then went on an extended riff about a certain network-news lothario who gets a lot of action. "I never thought something like this would happen to me . . . "
I thought it was funny, but upon rereading it, I also thought, "Hmmm . . . too soon." Indeed, these stories are coming out too fast and are too raw for some people. So I killed it.
And now you know. Maybe one day when my Too Hot for an Obscure "News"Letter collection comes out, you'll get to read it in full.
But now that I stand amidst the rubble of the shattered fourth wall, let's start over.
The Unbearable Lightness of the Trump Agenda
Last week was quite a humdinger.
I'll spare you the recap, on the assumption that, you, my brilliant and informed Dear Readers, are up to speed on the details.
Responding to the week's events, the editors of The Weekly Standard write:
Everyone's talking about the civil war in the Republican Party. It seems more like a surrender to us.
The great bulk of elected Republicans have surrendered to the forces of Donald J. Trump. And they didn't even put up much of a fight. Has a hostile takeover of a historic institution ever been accomplished with less resistance?
The flag of surrender went up before many blows were even landed.
Not surprisingly, I agree with this.
What I find so shocking is not so much the capitulation but the terms of the surrender. Or, rather, I should say the term — singular — of surrender, because there seems to be only one requirement expected of Republicans: Lavish praise on Donald Trump no matter what he does or says. Or at the very least, never, ever criticize him. Policy is an afterthought.
Again, The Standard:
A reporter for Politico recently asked John Cornyn, the second-ranking Republican in the Senate, for his views on a potential bipartisan compromise extending cost-sharing payments under Obamacare. "I'm with the president," Cornyn told Seung Min Kim. When she asked him where, exactly, Trump is on the plan, Cornyn threw his hands in the air. So Cornyn doesn't know what Trump's position is — but he knows that he shares it.
The Trump agenda begins and ends with personal loyalty to Trump — not to the Trump agenda, but to the Trump personality.
Don't believe me? Let's look at some facts.
Trumpists in Name Only?
Because my first column this week argued for shunning Alabama Republican Senate nominee Roy Moore, my Twitter feed was already acting like the industrial fan at the end of a sewer pipe. But after Ben Sasse's comments on my latest podcast were picked up, that fecal mist felt like the cool zone at an amusement park by comparison.
Even the briefest tour of the grand continental landscape of asininity that materialized — on Twitter, in comment sections, etc. — would be like taking a walking tour through a Hieronymus Bosch painting.
But there is one cave of ignorance that's worth spelunking with a lantern in hand. Countless people said Sasse should leave the Republican party because he's a squish, a RINO, a Democrat, etc. As stupid as all that is, such statements seem like bon mots at the Algonquin roundtable compared to such acidic cranial flatulence as this:
Roy Moore is rather primitive and hateful.— N Tree (@ToTheFuture13) October 26, 2017
Also, Ben Sasse is a traitorous, anti-white lefty who should leave GOP. https://t.co/TSU1UoT1ux
I think — or hope! — that even the most sane-yet-ardent Trump supporters wince at this racialist buffoonery. So we'll ignore the "traitorous anti-white" nonsense. But this poltroon speaks for many more sane people when he insinuates that criticizing Trump is by definition leftwing.
Sasse likes to point out he is the third most conservative senator by voting record. I'm not sure how he reached that figure, but it seems plausible given that the American Conservative Union gave him a 100 percent conservative score in both 2015 and in 2016. Meanwhile, John Cornyn had a score of 71 in 2015and a79 in 2016.
But, remember, Sasse is the RINO squish traitor.
Ah, quoth the Bannonite mobs, but he's thwarting Trump's agenda! Conservatism is a dead creed. What matters now is the new nationalism and supporting our president's pursuit of coveted wins. Nothing else matters.
Well, according to FiveThirtyEight, Sasse has voted with Trump 90.2 percent of the time. He supported the Graham-Cassidy health-care bill, admittedly with reservations. But if Sasse had his way, the president would have had more than one big win by now.
Likewise, Jeff Flake has voted with Trump 90 percent of the time and Mitch McConnell — that cloven-hoofed, demon-headed Mephistopheles of the Establishment — has voted for the Trump legislative agenda on 96.1 percent of his votes.
If Sasse had his way, the president would have had more than one big win by now.
Meanwhile, one could argue that no senator is more responsible for denying Donald Trump a "win" on health care than Rand Paul. At every turn, Paul made repealing and replacing Obamacare harder. Whichever route the White House and McConnell pursued, Paul insisted on going the other way, on the grounds that going any other direction would be a compromise of his principles.
And yet, the Trumpistas don't excoriate Paul. Even Susan Collins, a true RINO if such a term has any meaning and such a creature exists in the Senate, has been largely been spared the wrath of Trump and his armies.
Now, when I talk about Trumpistas, I don't actually mean most politicians or political activists. Politicians and activists have prudential considerations that are often at variance with simply telling inconvenient truths. (You could look it up.) This isn't always damning. For instance, as Charlie Cooke notes on the latest episode of The Editors podcast, a pro-life politician or activist may not like what Trump says, but such people have their eyes on a larger cause. They have to decide what is the lesser evil: condemning boorishness or failing to advance the pro-life cause. Losing a seat to the Democrats is worse for the pro-life cause than appeasing the Trump White House — or at least a reasonable person could come to that conclusion. (And lest liberals get sanctimonious about this, the same logic works for the pro-choice cause — and has for decades.)
I think such considerations are legitimate even when I may disagree with them. When I listen to Hugh Hewitt decry Flake and Bob Corker for their "drama" — but not Trump (!) — I can almost hear him shouting: "Will you all shut up! We've got judges to get on the Court!"
This is what could be called the Blinder Caucus. It seems every time I hear Paul Ryan or Mitch McConnell talk about life in the Trump presidency, they talk about the importance of putting on their blinders and focusing entirely on getting things done. The subtext is that they don't like how Trump does things, but they've got work to do.
It seems to me that technique hasn't worked too well. But we can argue about that another time.
I'm more interested in the psychological factors animating commentators and the rank-and-file Trumpublicans of the GOP.
They also talk about wanting to get things done and the importance of fulfilling the Trump "agenda." But they reserve their purest passion and most sustained vitriol not for people who don't vote with Trump, but for people who do vote with Trump but who also refuse to remain silent. The same holds for Trump himself.
Well, in the president's case, the answer is obvious: his own Brobdingnagian yet astoundingly fragile ego. Because Trump cares so little about policy, he can forgive policy differences quite easily. What he can't forgive is anyone even hinting that the emperor's new clothes are, at best, invisible to the naked eye.
I'll give Steve Bannon credit. He understood this from the get-go. He understood that criticizing Trump for the Access Hollywood tape was the kind of disloyalty Trump cares about. But criticizing a tax-reform proposal? He won't care, at least not if it's couched in compliments. The Breitbart folks are quick to point out that they criticized Trump when he seemed to be capitulating on DACA — "Amnesty Don" and all that. This was at Bannon's direction of course. But Bannon & Co. never, ever criticize the man himself. When Trump is doing wrong, it's because the "Globalists" or the "Establishment" are giving the king bad information and whispering treason in his ear.
The New Snowflake Caucus
It really is amazing. The people most likely to mock "snowflakes" and ask if you've been "triggered" have the most Pavlovian responses to criticism of Trump. They can't seem to handle hearing anyone pointing out Trump's personal, ideological, political, or managerial failings. To use their lingua franca, it is the stuff of "butthurt."
I don't think there's a single reason for this. It's more like an arsenal of psychological defense mechanisms. Off the top of my head:
There's the kneejerk anger at having it pointed out that your hero is out of his depth and that all of your assurances of superhuman skill and winningness were so much naïve piffle. There's the blind tribal fury of saying things that lend aid and comfort to liberals. And we can't leave out the discomfort, particularly acute among those with a long record of claiming ideological purity, of having the extent of their capitulation exposed.
Which brings us to the enabling. Everyone understands Trump can't help himself. The rest of us, therefore, should make allowances for that and not provoke him. "You should have known Dad would fly off the handle!" So Trump is held to one standard and everyone else to another. Ted Cruz is right that the Republicans have work to do. But who has taken his eye off the ball more than anyone else in Washington? Hint: It's not Jeff Flake, it's not Bob Corker, and it's not Ben Sasse. It's most emphatically not Mitch McConnell, who gave Trump his biggest win — Justice Gorsuch — and who is doing yeoman's work to get conservatives on the lower courts.
It's the guy who'd rather fight Gold Star families and rant about the NFL. It's the guy who talks about revoking licenses for the press and talks about Confederate generals as "our heritage." But just as there's no reasoning with Dad when he gets into the Dewar's, there's no talking Trump out of his Twitter when he gets into one of his "moods."
Just as there's no reasoning with Dad when he gets into the Dewar's, there's no talking Trump out of his Twitter when he gets into one of his 'moods.'
And, finally, there's the fact that, like Trump, many of these people don't care about policy either. As Michael Brendan Dougherty recently pointed out, the culture-war spats and nasty personal fights are to a very real extent Trump's true agenda, or at least it's what people who love the Trump Show love about the Trump Show.
Where does this end? I don't know. But I do know that political parties and ideological movements are defined every bit as much by what they say as what they do. The rhetoric yields the reality. And I for one think it's worth pushing back against the forces that think the best way to win over voters — and the president — is for goonish felons to talk, however coded, about what a big d**k the president has.
"[Former congressman Michael] Grimm admits he's only met Trump a few times, and never in a meaningful way. As a congressman, he'd visited the president's Trump Tower office as a formality more than anything else, just like every other New York politician. But his impression of Trump, he told me, was a lasting and positive one — so positive, in fact, that if the president were the kind of person who paid close attention to his press coverage, he might come across Grimm complimenting him effusively.
"I remember saying to myself, I never realized what a large man — I mean stature-wise, he's a big man, with massive hands," Grimm said, outstretching his own regular hands above the table. "I don't have small hands, but when I shook hands with him, the first time I shook hands with him, I realized he was a big man." He sensed my skepticism. "He is!" he said, defensively. "I thought they were pretty big. You don't think so? I thought he had a big, strong grip. I'm dead serious." He went on about how Trump is "a pretty big guy" and "not a small man even for his height" and how his hands were "more like a workman's hands" than those of "a CEO."
If this is the cause you want your party to surrender to, be my guest. I kind of thought conservatism and the Party of Lincoln stood for something more than one man's fragile ego and the people determined to protect it. I prefer to fight. If you don't like that, remember "But he fights!" can be a principle for everyone — for people without principles and also for those of us who have them.
Various & Sundry
Canine Update: I've been away from the doggos a lot this week, and that has made them particularly needy when I am around. It does make coming home more fun.
It's funny — after nearly two years of Zoë not caring one bit about tennis balls, she's changed her position a bit, though not in a way that speaks entirely well of her. More and more often, she simply takes Pippa's tennis ball and holds on to it so nobody can play. Pippa will never take it from her because she's Belgium to Zoë's Germany. It's really pretty mean. On the other hand, when Pippa won't take "No!" for an answer, it's kind of nice to be bailed out by the Dingo. But then this morning, when Pippa was bringing me a tennis ball in the kitchen, Zoë, already jealous, got down off the chair, went into the living room, and found her own ball and brought it to me. I really hope this doesn't evolve even more. The last thing I need is a legitimately ball-obsessed Dingo on my hands.
William F. Buckley wouldn't have endorsed Roy Moore.

`Harr[ac]e draws on psychology, philosophy, anthropology, and linguistics to develop an intellectually rigorous and integrative understanding of selfhood as a unitas multiplex - a diversity in unity. The breadth of Harre[ac]e's scholarship and the rigor which he evaluates various conceptual positions are awe inspiring. Harr[ac]e's keen insights and erudite arguments about selfhood help to clear a space for an intellectually rigorous psychology of persons. Although many readers will find this a very challenging book, Harr[ac]e bills his text as An Introduction to the Psychology of Personhood. He is laying out some of the basic concepts that must be invoked if one is to develop a credible science of persons.... In conclusion, Harr[ac]e's brilliant exegesis of the grammar underlying self-talk provides a philosophical clearing within which a sophisticated and generative science of persons may be allowed to take place' - Contemporary Psychology This landmark work draws on material from psychology, philosophy, anthropology and linguistics to develop a hierarchical and structured concept of personhood. Rom Harr[ac]e shows that despite the centrality of our social and cultural identities, the self must ultimately be understood as autonomous, distinct and continuous - as a shifting but unified pattern of multiplicities and singularities. This masterly analysis offers an opportunity to develop a truly scientific account of personhood. By charting a path across the psychological landscape that acknowledges both the symbolic and the physiological aspects of our being, from language to biology, Harr[ac]e maps the terrain of what it is to be a person in the context of discursive psychology.

24 Oct 2007
TIELT, BELGIUM – October, 2007 – Quadrant Creative Moulding & Systems (Quadrant CMS) of Tielt, Belgium, working in close co-operation with Tier-1 automotive supplier Autoliv, has developed a polymer passenger airbag housing for the new Fiat 500, which was launched in May this year to commemorate 50 years since the birth of the first edition in 1957. The housing is moulded in impact-modified Akulon® Polyamide 6 with 40 percent glass-fibre reinforcement from DSM.
Polymer airbag housings are becoming a common choice in the automotive industry as an alternative to metal – providing weight saving and lower cost-of-manufacture – yet each car model requires a housing that has been specifically designed for its build. It is an area where Quadrant CMS' knowledge and experience in the development and production of systems critical polymer parts and components for safety systems come to the fore.
Quadrant CMS has been working as a development partner for Autoliv, a worldwide leader in automotive safety systems, in the production of polyamide airbag housings for more then ten years. Such well-practiced teamwork results in a reduced time to market for the OEM, as Fiat found with the development of this latest housing for the new Fiat 500.
"The development time line for this project was extremely demanding," explains Wim Vlaeminck, Project Development Engineer at Quadrant CMS. "We had to work with a production tool from the start, as there was no time for developing a prototype mould. Yet it only took us five months from the initial design to production part approval process. Moreover, during the project, Fiat requested that we bring the start of production forward by one month, in order for them to be able to launch the car exactly 50 years after the release of the original Fiat 500."
Considerations for the housing's design and development include the extreme conditions under which airbags are required to function. It takes an airbag about 65 milliseconds to inflate – causing high impact loadings on the housing, where both the airbag and gas generator are seated. Yet it is imperative to the airbag's function – and thus passenger safety – that the housing remains intact and anchored firmly to the dashboard. Beyond the aggressive loads that the housing has to endure on deployment, it must also be able to guarantee failsafe operation over a wide temperature range of between 85°C at 90 percent relative humidity and -35°C.
The new Fiat 500 was launched earlier this year to celebrate 50 years since the original model. Although a completely modern car based on the Panda platform, it respects the original concept in its shape and function, and was designed with the participation of over 3,000,000 enthusiasts who submitted their ideas to the project through the website www.fiat500.com. The Fiat 500 has been recently awarded the prestigious 5-star Euro NCAP certification, with a total of 35 points, placing it firmly at the very top of its segment in terms of safety.

Wednesday on Fox News Channel's "The O'Reilly Factor," host Bill O'Reilly used his opening "Talking Points Memo" segment to deride the media for its efforts to tie Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump to the fascism of Nazi Germany of the 1930s and 1940s.
Transcript as follows:
O'REILLY: As predicted here, some in the media both left and right are portraying Mr. Trump as a 1930's type fascist and his supporters as budding brown shirts, the Nazi party street army in Germany.
MATT LAUER, NBC HOST OF "THE TODAY SHOW" PROGRAM: Mr. Trump, with some of the rhetoric you've used on the campaign trail over the last several months, targeting groups like Muslims and Mexicans, that that evokes images of Nazi, Germany and the scapegoating of Jews there back in the 1930s and 40s.
TRUMP: Well, I think that's a big, big stretch.
O'REILLY: It's more than a big stretch. It's a strategy with the intention of not only demeaning Trump but his supporters as well. The candidate aside, it's not hard to understand why many Americans are voting for Donald Trump. For the past seven years the folks have been witness to the following:
Intense verbal attacks on police officers, labelling them racist who hunt down young black men. A porous southern border where narcotics and people smuggling continue unabated. A stagnant economy, where workers have little bargaining power. A growing jihadist terror threat, that the Democratic Party refuses to define not even using the words, "Islamic terrorism.
A democratic president, who after he announces the beheading of an American citizen by ISIS goes out to play golf. A culture that now demands political correctness even if it goes against sincerely held religious beliefs. A legal system that may actually harm a business owner if he or she does not want to participate in a gay marriage, or catholic nuns who don't want to distribute birth control.
A press corps that generally embraces liberalism using its constitutional privilege to diminish non-liberals, who have the temerity to speak out. An educational system dominated by leftist teachers and administrators, who often impose their view on the world on defenceless children.
And, a grievance industry that is often promoted by the media, thus, allowing anti-American zealots to define this country as evil and oppressive, ie America is the real problem in the world. In the face of all of that, an avenger named Trump has risen, promising to stop the madness and giving blunt voice to millions of angry Americans.
The movement that Trump represents has nothing to do with fascism, everything to do with furious dissent. This memo is not a campaign ad for Trump. I know for a fact that some very bad people are trying to exploit his campaign to disguise racial and social hatred. They are doing that.
Donald Trump should loudly condemn those people and tone down some of his own inflammatory rhetoric. Just tell us what you want to do. No need to incite. Same thing is happening with the Bernie Sanders crew, where some haters are supporting Bernie in order to tear down marketplace freedoms and inflict pain on prosperous Americans.
The cold truth is, charges of racism and fascism are easy smears designed to stop freedom of expression and stifle debate. Here's more truth. The U.S.A. turn for the worse long before Donald Trump ever entered the political arena. And, Germany has nothing to do with it.
And that's the memo.

Some women may have difficulty conceiving due to issues related to congenital or acquired problems in their reproductive system. These may range from a congenital malformation of the uterus or absence of a vagina, to acquired abnormalities such as polyps, fibroids or endometriosis. If such a condition is found during our comprehensive fertility evaluation, it may be necessary to have surgery to correct the problem. Some of the surgical procedures available to our patients include:
Hysteroscopy is a procedure in which a small, telescope-like instrument is inserted directly into the uterine cavity. The scope allows the surgeon to visualize the uterine cavity and the ability to diagnose conditions such as uterine septum (protrusion of upper wall of uterus into the cavity), scar tissue, uterine polyps, endometriosis or uterine fibroids. Depending upon the severity of the condition, this procedure can be performed either in our offices or in the operating room. Hysteroscopy allows diagnosis and, most often, resolution of the anatomical problem. This is an outpatient surgery which does not require an overnight stay.
Laparoscopy is a non-invasive procedure which allows visualization of the pelvic organs. This is performed in an operating room setting where a small telescope-like instrument is inserted through the belly button. With additional small instruments placed strategically through the abdominal wall, the surgeon is able to view and assess the pelvic anatomy. Some of the findings can include endometriosis, tubal damage - (hydrosalpinx – fluid-filled tube), scar tissue, uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts and tumors. Laparoscopy is an outpatient procedure and often allows the surgeon to correct the pelvic pathology at the same time it is being assessed. Prior to surgery, ultrasound examination will define any potential defects.
Laparotomy is a procedure in which an abdominal incision is made for entrance into the abdominal and pelvic cavities. Typically, this procedure requires a longer recovery time since the incision is made through the muscles and the fascia protecting the abdominal and pelvic organs. Sometimes, however, the surgeon is able to perform a mini-laparotomy involving a much smaller incision allowing the patient to leave after a short observation time. This type of surgical procedure gives the surgeon an opportunity to deal with larger sized pelvic pathology such as uterine fibroids, extremely large ovarian cysts, or a ruptured ectopic pregnancy with uncontrolled hemorrhage. Directly accessing the pelvic area allows the surgeon to address most of the very complex issues that may arise. The decision to proceed with a laparotomy will be discussed in detail prior to a planned surgery so that the patient understands the risks and the benefits of the proposed surgery.

Zoom, Zoom, Zoom!
Are you unhappy with the coloration of your smile? Do you drink tea, coffee or coke products and are noticing that your smile just isn't as bright as it used to be? Are you great at brushing your teeth, flossing and doing everything your hygienist asks you to do, but your teeth seem to have stubborn stain that just will not go away?
If you answered yes to any of these questions then Zoom! In-Office Whitening might be the best option for you. Zoom! is a bleaching process used to lighten discoloration of enamel that may be the result from any of the above mentioned or could even be caused simply from the process of aging. Our In-Office Zoom! treatment is quick and easy, requiring only one visit of whitening to reach up to 8 shades brighter!
Are you sitting there
on your couch drinking coffee thinking, "Well, that's too good to be true."? Great! We hoped you'd think that. We are so excited to show you (and our Zoom! believers as well) that the results from this product are absolutely incredible! Below is a description of the results of one of our patients that saw amazing results.
Our patient came into our office at the age of 19. At the time the patient was a college student at the University of Arkansas (GO HOGS!) He was unhappy with the shade of his teeth, but more importantly with white spots that were present on his teeth and the shade difference it caused. He did 3 ½ fifteen minute sessions of Zoom! In-Office Whitening and whitened around 8 shades. Not only did he whiten 8 shades, but the noticeable white spots on his front teeth were blended and were no longer noticeable. Our patient was very happy with the results!
Pictured below is the before, during and after. It was very exciting to be a part of and witness such great results. Especially since this is an issue that has bothered the patient for such a long time. We look forward to seeing YOUR results next!

Remediated Books & Their TextPublished by Christy Dena April 16th, 2006 in Uncategorized, HCTI, Text Art, Publications.
We've mentioned other examples of books that are remediated online, like the Wanted microsite comic with rich media games I posted about, Jeremy's post about the Puma catalogue, and the Lycette Bros. work. Here are a couple of non-fiction remediated books to add to the mix:
NXTbook Media's 2006 Streaming Media Sourcebook
NXTbook Media "optimize" print for the web. This book is a digitised version of the print edition of the 2006 Streaming Media Industry Sourcebook. The book is navigated with a page turning simulation, just like the others we have seen. But it also has animated video advertisements and the authors reading out their articles. The subject of the text is also interesting as it offers a well assembled snapshot of streaming media.
if:books' Card file of McKenzie Wark's G4M3R 7H3ORY
if:book (Institute for the Future of the Book) are offering Wark's latest book on game theory in an online card file format and RSS feed, to encourage feedback.
The idea is to nest Ken's work in the social network that surrounds it, made visible in the number of comments and topics posted. This accomplishes something fairly radical, shifting the focus from an author's work towards the contributions of a work's readers. The integration between the blog and forums, and the position of the comments in relation to the author's work emphasizes this shift. We're hoping that the use of color as an integrating device will further collapse the usual distance between the author and his reading (and writing) public.
The 'book' is "an examination of single-player video games that comes out of the analytic tradition of the Frankfurt School (among other influences)" (listserv post from Joseph Matheny). Ironically, the chunks of text make it difficult for me to assemble the whole work in head, but I'll keep delving as it looks wonderful…

Thanks so much for mentioning NXTbook and for pointing out the Streaming Media Guide. We're always encouraging our clients to use as much of the functionality of our product as possible and we were thrilled to see Streaming Media come up with some really great applications.

Not sure if we are focusing on the remediated books themselves or the platforms and underlying technologies used to remediate them. It seems worth mentioning some other platforms that might make a roundup of multimedia ebook platforms. Where Eastgate's Storyspace focuses on elaborate structure management, Night Kitchen's TK3 emphasizes presentation of multimedia content (samples). Also worth considering are the many programs inheriting the legacy of Hypercard (such as SuperCard and Revolution) and on into e-learning production software such as Macromedia Authorware, which engineers learner choice through a "flow line."
Also of note: the if:book page-card stacks are a javascript / XHTML mockup - however I believe that their end goal is to make the interface not a one-off, but a javascript-powered skin for a CMS that will manage text and comments as a book is being written… if:book has chosen Wordpress. I wonder if they would be interested in sharing their card-based interface either with skinning artists or writers interested in using it to power other content….
Please Wait

Stillsuit Cocktails: the annual Tacoma toast to Frank Herbert
This article was originally published in September 2013, new information has been added.
The Legacy of Frank Herbert
In 1984, Frank Herbert's fifth book in the Dune series, Heretics of Dune, was published. In the foreword, he shared the experience of writing Dune thus far:
When I was writing Dune there was no room in my mind for concerns about the book's success or failure. I was concerned only with the writing. Six years of research had preceded the day I sat down to put the story together, and the interweaving of the many plot layers I had planned required a degree of concentration I had never before experienced.
It was to be a story exploring the myth of the Messiah.
It was to produce another view of a human-occupied planet as an energy machine.
It was to penetrate the interlocked workings of politics and economics.
It was to be an examination of absolute prediction and its pitfalls.
It was to have an awareness drug in it and tell what could happen through dependence on such a substance.
Potable water was to be an analog for oil and for water itself, a substance whose supply diminishes each day. It was to be an ecological novel, then, with many overtones, as well as a story about people and their human concerns with human values, and I had to monitor each of these levels at every stage in the book.
There wasn't room in my head to think about much else.
Frank Herbert was a serious author, a scrupulous visionary who fought through cynicism to manifest a mythic, sprawling future that exposed humanity at its most profound and most horrid.
The tale of Dune is not on trend (it's not a slog through the post apocalypse); it is timeless and at its heart it does not despair. Instead Dune honors the power, love, and vision humans can achieve, and explores all that our capacity enables us to create and destroy.
Dune, the first in the series, was published in 1965 and has since become a science fiction classic.
This success is one that we Tacomans can take just a little more to heart than the average fan since we can count Frank Herbert as one of us.
Dune is "a philosophy book." "It is pretentious garbage." "It is an adventure story." "It is a religious parable." "It is a prophesy of where our world is headed." "It is the Supreme Masterpiece of Science Fiction." "It is pulp masquerading as intellectualism." "It is weird." "It is boring." "It is a ripoff." "It is the first true science fiction book." "It is the only true Bible."
These are just a few of the impressively diverse reactions to Dune (as compiled by the World's Strongest Librarian). Through all the praise and criticism that have been heaped on the Dune series for nearly 50 years, it's an undeniably important literary touchstone and its influence endures, even here in our little Herbert-bearing hamlet.
Tacoma and Frank Herbert
As Erik Hanberg eloquently outlined, the pollution of the Puget Sound in Tacoma was a primary inspiration for Herbert in his envisioning of the far future.
The grimy, hopeless desolation of Tacoma's mid century waterfront has faded but Herbert's warnings are even more relevant now as they were decades ago. The aesthetics have shifted but the ecological damage is far from undone.
Much is happening now to care for our local environment; so what about caring for the literary legacy it inspired?
No, I'm not talking about naming landmarks, I'm talking about partying.
Stillsuit Cocktails: the annual Tacoma toast to Frank Herbert
Frank Herbert was born in Tacoma on October 8th, 1920. It seems fitting that we should raise a glass to Frank on that day, and there's no better place to do it than Hilltop Kitchen, where bar owner Chris Langston Keil happens to be a bit of a Dune nerd.
Perhaps you may have noticed more than a few fantastically named cocktails showing up from time to time – Harkonnen, Golden Path, Bene Gesserit, Honored Matre – these and others are all original cocktails crafted by Chris and inspired by Dune.
Join Post Defiance, Hilltop Kitchen, author Erik Hanberg, and King's Books as we raise a lovingly concocted cocktail to Frank Herbert.
The evening will feature all of Chris's Dune cocktails – detailed originally in the R.R. Anderson Tacomic Dune cocktail menu, books available for purchase to enhance your science fiction collection, a quiz, and prizes to be won!
To get you salivating ahead of time, check out the original six cocktails and their Dune inspirations. Three more cocktails have since been added since our first event so make sure you keep an eye out for The Little Maker, If Fishes Were Wishes, and the Duncan Idaho Ghola – all new cocktails for 2015:
Bene Gesserit
mezcal, benedictine, allspice
served up.
A secretive matriarchal religious order, the Bene Gesserit comprise one of the most powerful political and magical forces in the world of Dune. Their sisterhood is united by rigorous mental and physical conditioning, a practice defined by their famous Litany against Fear:
"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing….only I will remain."
Duncan Idaho
rum, overproof rum, drambuie, mole bitters, lime oil.
served on the rocks.
Duncan Idaho is arguably the most popular and likeable character in the world of Dune.
The loyal and stubborn swordmaster who trained the story's young protagonist Paul Atreides, Idaho goes on to achieve a kind of tortured immortality through the series, which also inspired another Dune drink, the Duncan Idaho Ghola. This cocktail should be available at Stillsuit Cocktails 2015.
"You should never be in the company of anyone with whom you would not want to die." – Duncan Idaho quoting a Fremen saying, God Emperor of Dune.
mezcal, rum, smoked demerara salt.
served over hand cut ice.
The members of House Harkonnen are the most obvious villains in Dune. Cruel, brutish, and devious, the Harkonnen family, headed by the disgusting Baron Vladimir Harkonnen are ruthless in their attempts to exterminate House Atreides. "One must always keep the tools of statecraft sharp and ready. Power and fear – sharp and ready," said Baron Harkonnen in Dune.
Golden Path
cinnamon infused tequila, becherovka, mulled apple cider.
served hot.
The Golden Path comes into play in the second book in the series, Children of Dune, and remains the philosophical and literal driving force through the sixth book.
The Path describes the necessary spiritual quest and physical transformation that Paul Atriedes son Leto must undergo in order to save humanity and become an awesome chimera: half man, half terrifying sand worm, and God-Emperor of Dune.
"When I set out to lead humankind along my Golden Path I promised them a lesson their bones would remember. I know a profound pattern which humans deny with their words even while their actions affirm it. They say they seek security and quiet, the condition they call peace. Even as they speak. they create the seeds of turmoil and violence." – from the Stolen Journals of God-Emperor Leto Atreides II, God Emperor of Dune
Honored Matre
mezcal, tomato water, habanero/lime cordial, smoked lime salt.
served up.
Enemies of the Bene Gesserit, the Honored Matres are another matriarchal group, first introduced in the fifth book of the series, Heretics of Dune. Upon their emergence the merciless Honored Matres were considered much more aggressive and dangerous than the Bene Gesserit, using extreme violence and sexual prowess to control and enslave.
"Power attracts the corruptible. Absolute power attracts the absolutely corruptible. This is the danger of an entrenched bureaucracy to it's subject population. Entrenched bureaucracy seldom can be touched short of violence." – a teaching of the Honored Matres.
Orange Catholic
rum, amaro, barolo chinato, rogue bitters.
served up.
The Orange Catholic, also known as the "Accumulated Book," represents one of Frank Herbert's signature amalgamated religions.
His handy glossary of terms in Dune says it best: The Orange Catholic is "the religious text produced by the Commission of Ecumenical Translators. It contains elements of most ancient religions, including the Maometh Saari, Mahayana Christianity, Zensunni Catholicism and Buddhislamic traditions. Its supreme commandment is considered to be: 'Thou shalt not disfigure the soul.'" From the Orange Catholic, a passage describing human life as a journey along a narrow bridge: "Paradise on my right. Hell on my left, and the Angel of Death behind."
And where's the Spice, you might ask? Although none of Chris's drinks yet contain the mythical spice melange, I think we could all agree that his creations do nearly approximate Dr. Yueh's description of the substance that dominates Dune:
The Spice is " like life – it presents a different face each time you take it. Some hold that the spice produces a learned-flavour reaction. The body, learning a thing is good for it, interprets the flavour as pleasurable – slightly euphoric. And, like life, never to be truly synthesized."
Please join us for Frank Herbert's birthday and a celebration of his legacy here in Tacoma. We hope it will be just the right mix of science fiction/Tacoma history/fancy cocktail nerdery. Happy Birthday, Frank!
October 8, 7 – 10 pm
Hilltop Kitchen, 913 Martin Luther King Way,Tacoma, WA 98405

Our Mission
The mission of the church is clearly given to us in Matthew 28:19-20, 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."
In order to reach the community God has given us, and ultimately the world, it takes everybody working together obediently. It also requires a diligent adherence to God's Word, as well as a great balance of ministry to the entire family, a focus on missions, and a healthy dose of fellowship. That is why we practice "It's All About Relationships".

It was a disappointing loss at LSU in the Death Valley Saturday. I still get butterflies and tense when I watch the Gators in close games. Sometimes I can't stand to watch. Maybe I'll go outside for a minute or switch channels for a second, but I keep coming back.
LSU dominated the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball for most of the game and it didn't help that we gave them four first downs in the first half due to penalties. Our defense still played well enough for us to win, giving up only 17 points, but they didn't get a lot of help from the offense.
Einstein's definition of insanity was, "Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results." It appears that is exactly what we are doing. First down run the counter play weak or the power play strong. Second down another run or perhaps a five-yard pass. I think the Gators lead the nation in third and twos.
There are play action passes off the counter play strong and weak that are very effective. I wish we would incorporate them.
Our pass protection was awful and that's putting it mildly. Tyler Murphy rarely had time to throw. Given protection I would certainly like to see more deep balls whether they be 9-routes (streaks/go's) or posts; also pick passes where we can rub off someone underneath and free them up against man coverages.
Where have all the wide receivers gone (other than Solomon Patton). I'm not asking for Carlos Alvarez or Wes Chandler or Chris Collingsworth. Just give me some more Ike Hilliard.
And where is the next Emmit Smith when we need him? It looked like there were some holes that were missed by a lack of patience on the part of our backs.
Our punter, Kyle Christy, threw a nice pass on fourth down, but he continues to struggle kicking the ball for some odd reason. He had a couple of nice kicks, but they were from the 50 and he boomed them into the end zone. Maybe he misses his Muse, Caleb Sturgis. We're not getting much out of our kickoff and punt returns and that means we continually start with a long field.
All this and yet we still had a chance at the end. I said last week that Tyler needs work on the 15-20 yard crosses and the corner routes. He missed Quinton Dunbar again on a cross and overthrew what should have been an easy touchdown in the end zone. Come on … they're not that hard to throw!
Late in the game, there we were again going in reverse when we sniff the goal line. First and goal at the eight, down 14-3 and what do we do? Unbalanced right with an extra O-Linemen in, Power play right for one. Duh! You don't think the defense doesn't know that's coming? Then we went fancy with a form of Fumblerooskie to Patton for one. Third and eight, finally we pass and it's a sack. Not exactly my choice of play calling and it was virtually the same thing last week against Arkansas from the eight.
The good news is we may have found a placekicker. Frankie Velez was hit both his field goals including one from 44 yards. The second one closed the gap to 14-6.
Holding the Gators to a field goal is the kind of thing inspires an offense. LSU answered with a nice drive for a field goal to go up 17-6.
We still had a chance when we drove the ball down the field again but the penalty bug bit again. After two DJ Humphries false starts, he blew an assignment, didn't block the defensive end and Murphy got sacked for a nine-yard loss, ending any chance the Gators might have had.
So, it's another loss that takes us to 4-2 halfway through the season. Let's consider where we are: two losses to ranked opponents, 4-0 vs. teams that really aren't very good. We get a chance to redeem ourselves this week with 14th-ranked Missouri, which is 6-0. I don't think they will be any less tough without James Franklin. Matt Mauck is supposed to be the next bit thing up there anyway and he'll have his chance to show why taking over for Franklin
I'm not sold on Missouri, though, and if we cut down on penalties and get some more offense we have a chance. Then it's on to Jacksonville to play Georgia. By then Todd Gurley should be back and healthy so that game won't be easy. We follow that with Vandy and then finish the SEC schedule with South Carolina, which got everybody's attention with that 52-7 win over Arkansas. We close with Georgia Southern and Florida State.
Let's get real here. We could be staring down a 6-6 finish and another trip to the Gator Bowl unless there is some sort of metamorphosis.
When I look at recruiting it's the same old thing: linemen, linebackers, cornerbacks and only a few skill position players. I keep hoping for a repeat of what we did in 1993 when we signed six wide receivers to go with Fred Taylor. We got playmakers and ended up playing for the national title in 1995 and won it in 1996 with those guys making one big play after another.
We need playmakers. This is the University of Florida and we recruit Florida. With the talent here we should always be in or very near the top five. I'm concerned.
Go Gators.

Can you elaborate on some of the features of the database quarantine version?
I have a question about customers like us that has MX records form domain names that point to 2 & 3 different spamfilter servers. As of right now there is not a way to keep the quarantine emails or any config files that load every min in a central location. I would like to see the support of UNC mapping in the options for external file loads like the keywords, black list ip�s, quarantines.
FYI: I tried to run the service by having it log in as a user but when I do this, the program does not interact with the desktop. So without the desktop interface, I don�t know if everything is working.

One of the benefits of the quarantine database is that multiple instances of SpamFilter running on separate servers can all use the same database, see all email being quarantined by other servers as well, and view/deliver any emails in there.
The issue you're having with the UNC shares is probably that by running as SYSTEM, that account does not have any network rights, so is not able to access the shares. Unfortunately you're right about the desktop, as far as I know only the system user can interact with it, it doesn't work if the service runs with a reular user's credentials. Let me do a bit of research on that.
With the DB the only issue would be to replicate the local black/white list files among the servers. It'd be easier to use UNC, but pse keep in mind that Win2K replication should also do the job very easily in replicating them amongst the servers. If you change any file in any directory, the changes will replicate over to the others. You don't have to specify a master and many slaves as in NT4, now any change anywhere will be replicated.

Kansas Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers
In Kansas, nursing home abuse is a serious issue that affects thousands of innocent nursing home residents every year. Nursing home residents become the victims of abuse or neglect when there is understaffing of employees in nursing homes. Employees may express their dissatisfaction with their jobs on nursing home residents by failing to properly care for them. According to a research study conducted by the University of California-San Francisco, a total of 36 percent of nursing homes were cited for deficiencies for failure to maintain professional standards in 2008.
Also concerning was the statistic indicating that 41 percent of nursing homes failed to create an adequate care plan for residents in the nursing home. This could mean that residents did not receive the proper medications, nutrition or exercise that they need for their everyday care. An overwhelming 58 percent of facilities contained an accident-prone environment. If you have a loved one who has suffered as a result of these forms of neglect or abuse, then get in touch with a Kansas lawyer today. A Kansas lawyer has experience in handling nursing home abuse cases, and he or she will try to resolve your loved one's claim as soon as possible.Kansas Nursing Home Laws
There are three main statutes that govern nursing home neglect and abuse cases in Kansas. These three statutes are the Protection from Abuse Act, the Mentally Ill, Incapacitated and Dependent Persons/Social Welfare Act and the Reporting Abuse, Neglect or Exploitation of Adults Act.
In the Protection from Abuse Act, a judge has great discretion to enact an emergency order with any relief that is necessary to protect an elderly person from abuse. An elderly person may be placed into a different facility to receive the medical treatment that he or she needs to survive. Whatever measure that must be taken to ensure the abuse ends will be ordered by the court. If you have a nursing home abuse lawyer working on your case, then he or she may be able to make certain recommendations to the judge. It can be helpful to work with a lawyer who has experience in elder law and may know of more appropriate facilities for the placement of your loved one.
In addition, Kansas law maintains that individuals who know about abuse or neglect impacting a nursing home resident must report it to the local law enforcement agency. This duty to report is not optional, and there are penalties for people who know about abuse and fail to file reports with law enforcement. A person will be guilty of a misdemeanor if he or she knows about abuse and yet fails to make the report to law enforcement. The Kansas reporting law also lists a large number of individuals who have the responsibility to report abuse. The list includes any doctor, nurse, nursing home worker, practitioner of the healing arts, teacher, therapist, counselor, financial officer or other person who is aware that an elderly person is being victimized in an abusive situation.
It is important for family members to pay attention to any signs that their loved ones may be suffering from abuse in a nursing home. Paying attention to physical and emotional signs will ensure that family members are able to make a timely report of abuse and end it as soon as possible. The following signs should alert any person that an elderly person may be the victim of abuse:
- Paranoia
- Physical scrapes and bruises
- Open wounds
- Bleeding
- Anxiety and distress
- Constant emotional disturbance
- Depression
- Depletion of a resident's financial assets
- Personal items of a resident that are missing
If you notice any of these signs, then get in touch with a Kansas lawyer who can help you today.Contact Kansas Nursing Home Lawyers Now

He also practiced meditation, deep breathing and worked on centering and controlling his Chi throughout the 90's.

Vivitar Evolves to Become a Lifestyle Brand of the Digital Era
No. 1 Supplier of Cameras & Accessories Shifts its Focus to Include Broader Range of Consumer Tech for the Modern Age
Jan 07, 2014, 10:42 EST
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- 2014 INTERNATIONAL CES -- On the heels of its 75th anniversary, Vivitar has solidified its position as a full-spectrum consumer tech company for the digital age, expanding its product line to include all the accoutrements of life in the modern era. Now, as the digital era marches on, Vivitar is evolving to meet a broader range of consumers' needs, enabling anyone to 'Share Your Life' with simplicity and ease.
"We are excited to introduce an innovative product line that makes it easy to wirelessly share your life with others through the use of cameras, karaokes and other devices," said Jeff Saka, president of Sakar International, which purchased the Vivitar brand in 2008. "Our growing line of products is now playing an increasingly larger role in the modern technology landscape."
Core Cameras & Mobile Accessories
Channeling its imaging legacy, Vivitar has continued to design user-friendly cameras that deliver exceptional image quality and go anywhere, to capture and share all of life's precious moments as they happen. From built-in Wi-Fi live streaming cameras that make uploading images to a smartphone or social media a snap, to dual-screen underwater and action cameras that capture first-person POV of every exciting adventure, Vivitar's expansive line of still and video cameras are designed for ease of use, convenience, portability and affordability.
In the mobile and accessories space, the Vivitar line of chargers, cases, speakers and connectivity solutions keep the smartphone generation powered up and plugged in. Bluetooth speakers and docking stations let users enjoy their favorite music at home or on the go with crystal-clear sound quality and reliability.
iSing Karaoke: Perform, Record, Share
Vivitar's new Record and Share iSing Karaoke systems let singers record and share every rock star performance via social media. Featuring built-in cameras and video recorders, the iSing captures every stellar (or embarrassing) moment and lets singers make their own music videos to share with friends on Facebook or Twitter. The iSing line comes with video editing software and a green screen to create custom backdrops to personalize each music video before sharing the fun with friends online. It's the ultimate karaoke party system for family fun.
Tablets: the Must-have Tech of Today
Vivitar's award-winning Camelio and XO Tablets are designed for kids and their parents with a flexible, world-class user experience on some of the industry's most durable and reliable hardware. Camelio, a customizable tablet for kids, lets up to five users customize the tablet with their own "Personality Packs" featuring wallpaper, widgets, lock screens and a themed bumper case in a multitude of the hottest brands and characters on the market, including Hot Wheels, Hello Kitty, WWE, Monster High, Barbie and more.
The XO Tablet, designed and developed by One Laptop per Child, is a multi-lingual Google-certified tablet that delivers an engaging, interactive learning experience that encourages kids to explore and pursue their dreams. With curated educational content from some of the most highly regarded brands in the industry, including Discovery, TED, Oxford University Press and many more, this award-winning tablet earned Parent's Choice Foundation honors and was named Editor's Choice in the SheKnows.com Parenting Awards.
Wellness Products: A Holistic Approach
In addition to fostering a healthy mind, Vivitar's line also includes high-tech, user-friendly products for a healthy body. Next-generation bathroom scales with built-in body mass index (BMI) calculator also reveal hydration level, plus muscle and bone mass details to provide a holistic health snapshot. Shiatsu and Thai spa massaging cushions help relieve the muscle tension and stress that can result from always-on life in the digital fast lane.
"One of the things the Vivitar brand has done really well, in addition to listening to our customers' needs, is leveraging technology competencies across multiple categories," Jeff Saka said. "The tech we've developed or procured for one product has been applied across multiple platforms—harnessing our camera know-how to develop the durable chassis, high-res screen and built-in camera technology for the XO and Camelio tablets, for example. Where other companies have attempted to re-invent the wheel with risky new products, we've made the products of everyday life smarter, more relevant and user-friendly."

It was Key West, 1940, and Carl Tanzler, (a.k.a. the self-proclaimed Count Carl von Cosel) had a fan club while he stood trial for grave robbing. He received scores of letters and visits from young women championing his undying obsession. They were seduced by his spin on eternal love and mad romance. Some of Carl's fans were excited by his quest to seize life from the clutches of death with the right formula of elixirs and electricity. All great scientiest are thought to be crazy until they're proven right, they argued.

Crystal candlestick matricide

Virtual love: Can simulated people meet our emotional needs?
"Do you really mean it when you say that?" Rinko asks her boyfriend before they say goodnight. She's an empathetic, caring girlfriend, but she also has insecurities, flares of jealousy. She can be demanding and stay icy for days if you slight her, but she always forgives as long as you stay attentive. She doesn't judge.
The horrifying true story behind Room
The events of the new film Room, a screenplay Emma Donoghue adapted from her best-selling 2010 novel of the same name, have echos of the Cleveland kidnappings (which came to light after the book was published) and the Jaycee Dugard case, but the main story that loosely inspired this emotional film happened in Austria.
Wilderness Heights: Linda Hazzard's Deadly Starvation Sanitarium
In the hazy days of the turn of the 20th-century medicine, Linda Hazzard didn't need a medical degree to get a "fasting specialist" license. With it, she cashed in on the fasting health fad of the times by opening a sanitarium in Olalla, Washington.
The mysterious death of Elisa Lam
The baffling events of early 2013 in a fabled L.A. hotel are one of many inspirations for American Horror Story: Hotel, and an upcoming horror film called The Bringing. While the details of the case drove intense speculation about possible paranormal elements to a young woman's death, the reality is more of lonely despair.
The real hotels that inspired James Patrick March's Hotel Cortez
American Horror Story Hotel is pushing the limits of TV gore and sex while it's music-video style storytelling delves into a trove of American fiction, legends, and true stories surrounding vampires, serial killers, and spooky hotels.
Paradise Ranch: Spy planes, UFOS, and the mystery of Area 51
Area 51 is strange for a number of reasons, but one of the most glaring reasons it's odd is so obvious we often can't see it. It's known as a secret, but it's the opposite. It hasn't been a secret since the 1950s, and even then it was a bit of a open government secret shrouded in mysterious coverups that have now been blasted apart. Whether you are a believer in alien stories or not, Area 51 has definitely invaded our imaginations to stay.
True Story from Fargo, Season 2: The woman who hit a man and left him in her windshield to die
The first episode of Fargo, Season 2 involves Kirsten Dunst as Peggy Blomquist, a butcher's wife who lets her denial of reality wrap them both up in a dizzying coverup. Some of the details of this darkly comedic scenario are inspired by a true events from over a decade ago.
The Legend of Durable Mike Malloy, an (almost) unkillable man
"I'm dying for a drink," Mike Malloy said as she stumbled into Tony Marino's speakeasy in the Bronx. He looked a little more worn than before. Each murder attempt took a bit out of him, but being hit by a taxi had so far done the most damage. He was still thirsty, though, and the drinks just kept coming.

Turning competitors into a revenue sources
A customer came in on a Sunday evening saying he was told he should talk to me. When I was with Hugh M. Woods, and not particularly unusual.
What was unusual was that not only did he know exactly what he wanted, but what he wanted was top of the line – 2 custom polished brass designer faucets, a tub valve, and a waterfall tub spout, all matching styles, with green onyx gold inlaid buttons totaling $3400+ AFTER whittling down price and discounts to an 18% margin (Not much opportunity for an upgrade:)
After telling him it was the best I could do, keeping the company's interest in mind. He asked me a common question, "can I get a better price somewhere else?"
I said, "Honestly; absolutely. You go with this written bid to any dealer and they will under cut us."
He responds, "Then why should I buy from you?"
I was at a loss for words for about three seconds, for me a rare thing.
In the first second: who do/could I ask?
In the next: there isn't anyone that wouldn't say they don't know.
In the third it dawned on me, it was the really reaching the bottom of my bag of sales techniques.
"The only thing I can think of is I will personally put everything in your hands on Thursday afternoon if you place the order by Tuesday morning except for the buttons on the second faucet the warehouse is out and will take a week maybe two to get them in."
On Monday evening he placed the order; he told me that every place he went to gave him a better price.
I place it in his hands on Thursday afternoon personally as promised.
It's important to mention that I HAD checked the warehouse for a visual stock check, knew and was confident in our team and delivery personnel. Besides, I wanted more than anything else to see what a $700 tub spout looked like; it"s part of bringing it down as far as I did.
I've handle all kinds of high end sales. I was known for it to such an extent that while I was taking out a knock down cabinet, the lowest grade we had. Phil Newman, the store manager, commented on day asked me what I was doing. I didn't know what he meant at first and responded, "just loading a cabinet"
