In recent months I have been taking more and more panoramic pictures, and I'm not 100% sure where its come from. It might be from memories of my childhood where I used to watch my Dad painstakingly sticky tape his 6"x4" prints together (long before digital was an option), or maybe its because it really is so easy now with modern Photo editing software. I think its most likely to be the fact I have been getting closer to the mountains, where just one shot isn't enough and I want to get as much detail into the picture.
I recently visited Haweswater in the Cumbrian Lake District, a location new to me, but I knew from research online and through books that the views were stunning and that there are a couple of abandoned/ruined cottages that would add some interesting foreground detail. Leaving my Travelodge accommodation at 6:30am I headed towards the exact spot I had decided upon. The forecast when I went to sleep the night before was for cold, clear blue skies with light winds, so the blizzard I had to drive through was both unexpected, but welcome.
Taking it steady because of the conditions I arrived at just after 7am, 5 minutes before sunrise. I usually get to a location a good 30-40minutes before sunrise, but this time I knew that it would take a while for the sun to clear the surrounding mountains, so there was little need to rush. I then had to make my way up the steep 'Old Corpse Road' to get the height needed to make the most of my surroundings, and maybe find those cottages I had read about. I assume that the path, all be it steep, is quite nice in the summer. When its covered in snow, frost and ice its a little bit more interesting and I did feel on more than one occasion that I was stretching my capabilities (I'm not great with heights and edges). 35 minutes after leaving the car I reached my goal.
The view really was superb, made so much better for the dusting of snow. The clouds were low and dramatic and the water on the reservoir surface was still. Having wandered around for 10 minutes trying to find the best position and composition, here the key elements of the picture (The cottages, the tree covered headland and the island in the lake) did not overlap, I fired off a number of shots with my 'go to' lens (Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L 2). I was really pleased with the result, but I felt I was missing out on what I could see before me. I wasn't 100% happy with the fact that the lake disappears out the side of the frame, I felt it made you wonder what was round there, it was only part of a view. I quickly swapped lenses to my 16-35mm f/2.8L 2 super wide angle lens and it helped, but now the distant mountains looked tiny and insignificant. There was only one option.
I swapped back to the previous lens, made sure the tripod was perfectly aligned (most tripods have a small spirit level bubble built in to help), then made sure that the camera was level. I use a cheap additional spirit level on the cameras hot-shoe to do this. With the camera and tripod level I panned the full extent of the scene to make sure there was no slope across the scene.
For my panoramas I always use the manual settings on the camera. Its important that the camera doesn't change aperture or shutter speed across the images used for the panorama. Its also important to take the white balance off auto. Set it for cloud or shade, shoot in RAW and you can always correct it once you get to your computer. With everything set, focused and ready, I fired off 5 frames, overlapping each one by at least 20%.
I spent as long as I thought I could get away with (I had to get back to work) enjoying the sunlight fill the valley and watching the clouds disappear, then I made the slightly treacherous decent back to the car, and onwards to home.
Later that evening I uploaded the RAW files to Lightroom6 (My editing software of choice) and allowed it to do its magic. It really is simple to photo merge images like this nowadays. So long as all the images have the same focal length, aperture, shutter speed and white balance, you have allowed enough overlap and some space for cropping, the software does the rest. It takes my mac about 5 minutes to do this, perfect time to put the kettle on and make a brew.
I was over the moon when I returned to find the stitching was complete and the image was just what I had intended when I was on the Fell earlier that morning.
I didn't think the image needed too much processing. I sharpened it, cleaned off two annoying dust spots, added a little bit of contrast and dropped in a slightly graduated sky, just to drag out some details in the clouds. Happy with the look, all that was left was to crop it to size. Aspect ratio is very important when you chose a crop for a panorama (in my opinion). I like 2:1 or 3:1, but nothing more than that. I have tinkered with super wide panorama's, but theres no way to view them properly unless you can print on roll paper or you have a HUGE monitor. In this instance I settled on 3:1. Heres the finished shot...
Making a panorama is a rewarding process and something I would urge all photographers to at least have a go at. In part 2 I will continue the journey from Fell to frame when I will be printing the image out, mounting and framing it, ready for the wall. In the meantime here are a few more recent lakeland panoramas that were created in exactly the same way. Thanks for reading, and for your continued support.

Most of the current pine timber acreage in Mississippi developed through the reversion of large acreages of agricultural cropland to forestry. Now that cropland retirement has ceased, management practices must provide· for pine regeneration on existing forest lands. Harvesting practices that remove higher-valued pine timber from private, nonindustrial pine lands have created large acreages of poorly stocked, low quality hardwood stands.

New York, NY (PRWEB) January 02, 2016
Smashpipe, an online magazine that takes things out of perspective, announced that it will continue to subvert expectations in the new year. The third edition of Smashpipe, which hit the internet at midnight Dec. 31, includes a breakdown of the brainwashing of the electorate, examines the lesser evils of the candidates, encourages holiday suicides and offers a comparative look at rising fascism in the West Bank. Smashpipe also continues to bring out the worst in New Yorkers, from crime blotters to long-forgotten films.
In its first two editions, Smashpipe broke news in pieces to reveal that candidate Donald Trump is actually the new incarnation of famed comedian Andy Kaufman and that Obama drunkenly admitted he would be moving back to Kenya if Trump gets into office. The magazine even previewed Trump's acceptance speech.
Publisher John Engstrom resumed publication of the alternative news and satire magazine on Thursday, Dec. 17, 2015, after over a year's hiatus. Smashpipe includes regular contributions from co-head writers Jim Knipfel and Tony Sokol and weekly horoscopes by Rob Brezsny.
"I'm proud to bring Smashpipe back to its New York City roots and that we are dedicated to publishing over than 500 original articles in the next year," Engstrom said in a statement.
Smashpipe publishes "the best writing we love twice a week including regular contributions from Jim Knipfel and weekly horoscopes by Rob Brezsny." Both writers made their bones at free weekly alternative paper The New York Press, which was the main competitor to The Village Voice in New York City from 1988 to 2011.
Jim Knipfel wrote the long-running and popular "Slackjaw" column for the New York Press. He also wrote the critically acclaimed memoirs "Slackjaw," "Quitting the Nairobi Trio" and "Ruining It for Everybody," as well as two novels, "The Buzzing" and "Noogie's Time to Shine."
"The thing that sets Smashpipe apart from so many of the other places I've written for is that there's no limit, no restrictions, no agenda," said Knipfel. "We have no target demographic, which means the writers have the freedom to say whatever the hell they want without worrying about who they might offend or what sacred cows they might be skewering. Most sacred cows deserve a good skewering. Plus they're delicious. Oh, and Smashpipe pays, too."
Brezsny was the first famous horoscope columnist to prognosticate in first-person language. Utne Reader described Brezsny's column Real Astrology as breathing "new life into the tabloid mummy of zodiac advice column," or so it says on Wikipedia. Brezsny wrote the books "Images Are Dangerous," "The Televisionary Oracle," and "Pronoia Is the Antidote for Paranoia: How the Whole World Is Conspiring To Shower You with Blessings."
Other contributors include Daniel Riccuito, publisher of the alternative film magazine The Chiseler, Christopher Longo, deputy editor at Den of Geek, as well as John Strausbaugh, Jennifer Matsui, Laura Brienza and Derek Davis.
Smashpipe describes itself as equal parts "irreverent, punk, and literary, but always unexpected. Smashpipe is home to ideas, opinions, reporting and interviews you won't find anyplace else, written by people with enough of an inside understanding of media, politics, history and the culture at large to peer through the fog of bullshit, and do so with style."
Now headquartered in NYC, Smashpipe publishes weekly on Thursdays.

Institutional redesign on at Contemporary Art Center
With new leadership in place, the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center is considering new directions, literally and figuratively.
The Contemporary on Tuesday announced that it has commissioned the New York design firm Familiar to launch an institutional redesign.
This "public-facing strategy," as an announcement termed it, will focus the long-time Westside institution's marketing, communications, technology and development efforts. The brand awareness campaign will include a visual design overhaul, including logo and way-finding signage.
Familiar also is advising on the visual identity and design of Contemporary signature programs and special events, the membership program, print collateral, website, Studio Artist Program and retail shop. A new website is being readied for an August launch.
The reconsidered brand identity and way-finding signage will be unveiled at the Contemporary's fall exhibition openings and the benefit ART PARTY on Aug. 29. The Contemporary announced that it will be closed from July 26 to Aug. 28 for exhibit installation, ART PARTY preparations and way-finding installation.
The designers and developers of Familiar have been collaborating with creative businesses, nonprofit organizations, artists and arts groups for more than a decade. Its recent credits include work for New York's New Museum of Contemporary Art.
A year ago, the Contemporary received a $200,000 capitalization grant from the Metropolitan Atlanta Arts Fund, the nonprofit's largest prize ever to a single arts organization. The grant was part of an Arts Fund initiative intended to help arts groups build a strong balance sheet that provides the resources for them to meet their artistic missions.
Julie Delliquanti, who headed the High Museum of Art's public programs and community engagement, was named the Contemporary's executive director last year, later joined by Daniel Fuller as curator. Fuller had served as director of the Institute of Contemporary Art at Maine College of Art.
Flux Night headed to MLK Historic Site
After taking a bye in 2014, Flux Night will return for its fifth edition on Oct. 3 in a new location: the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site.
The free night of public art and performance will take as its theme "Dream," in homage to the neighborhood that nurtured King through his boyhood.
"This exhibition is not itself nostalgic, as neither are dreams, but is instead a collective imaginative exploration of equity and justice," according to the announcement from nonprofit presenters Flux Projects.
"Dream" is being curated by Nato Thompson of Creative Time, known for producing temporary public art in the U.S. and internationally.
Flux Night previously has attracted more than 20,000 to its original Castleberry Hill neighborhood setting. fluxprojects.org.
Last chance for 'Storefront Church' at Theatrical Outfit
Early in its run, Theatrical Outfit witnessed enough interest to extend John Patrick Shanley's "Storefront Church" for a week. But the end is now nigh: the show closes Sunday.
In his AJC review, critic Wendell Brock called it "a powerhouse evening of theater.
"While Shanley's better-known "Doubt" used a sinister episode at a Catholic school to ponder the meaning of faith," Brock continued, ""Storefront Church" whips up a rich stew of religion, politics, finance, corruption, greed and redemption."
Final performances are at 7:30 p.m. Friday, 2:30 and 7:30 p.m. Saturday and 2:30 p.m. Sunday. Balzer Theater at Herren's, 84 Luckie St. N.W., Atlanta. 678-528-1500, www.theatricaloutfit.org.

As more of our towns and neighborhoods get turned into wastelands and as we pull the pieces of our dying dream from under the rubble, it's difficult not to be angry at a world that stood by and let it happen. All of this was foretold, the warning signs were clear, everything was taking place in full light of day, yet they all watched, while some gambled and hedged their bets by backing the killers, as the dream was slowly transformed into a nightmare. All demons are loose now, and heaven only knows when and how we could put the country back together. Still, we go on, going back has never and can never be a legitimate option.
Wednesday August 8, 2012

White House official says Syria no-fly zone not off table "rest assured that various options that are being talked about in the press, and sometimes being advocated, these are things that the United States government has been looking at very carefully, trying to understand the implications, trying to understand the advantages and the disadvantages," he said.
In Syria, Potential Threat to Government Air Power Emerges For the first time since the conflict in Syria began last year, an activist opposed to President Bashar al-Assad has publicly presented possible evidence that the antigovernment forces have obtained a heat-seeking, shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missile.
Russian general denies reports he was killed by rebels in Syria Vladimir Petrovich Kuzheyev meets reporters in Moscow after video statement from rebel group shows copy of his Syrian-army issued ID.
Syria military launches assault on key district in Aleppo Reports conflict on whether Syrian President Bashar Assad's forces or Syrian rebels have control of the Salahuddin district of Aleppo.
Al-Qaida fighters infiltrate Syria At least 262 al-Qaida militants are now operating in the border area between Turkey and Syria and rebels say another group of fighters are living in a tented camp just outside Aleppo, Syria's largest city. NBC's Richard Engel reports.
Seized Iranians in Syria Are Army Retirees, Salehi Says "We rejected reports saying these individuals are part of the Revolutionary Guards and explained that a number of retired individuals from several ministries and the guards had signed up to make the pilgrimage," Salehi said. "Pilgrimage trips to Syria had been interrupted but resumed recently as we can't stop people from visiting the holy shrine."
Neighbors pull dead from Syria house rubble Rebels have said Assad's forces have been attacking rural areas in an effort to put pressure on those opposition fighters who have rural backgrounds.
Syria border standoff a new front in Iraq-Kurdish rift The standoff, for a moment last week so close to confrontation, is the most dramatic illustration of a growing rift between Baghdad and the autonomous northern region of Kurdistan. Frictions over oil revenues are exacerbated now by conflicting views of the Syrian rebellion and by territorial disputes that pose questions about the unity of Iraq.
Op-Eds & Special Reports
Malcolm Rifkind, former Britain's defense minister and foreign secretary under Prime Minister John Major, writes: A Call to Arm Syria's Rebels The longer war drags on, the more likely a legitimate struggle for self-determination will descend further into a cycle of communal violence, poisoning the possibility of a mutually acceptable political settlement. Without such a settlement, Syrian and regional violence will continue — whether the Ba'athist regime survives or not.
The Washington Post Editorial Board explains how to "Get… around a dead-end in Syria" The only workable policy in Syria is one that aims at ending the civil war as quickly as possible with a victory for the opposition. A coup by regime elements that removes Mr. Assad may still be possible, but only if generals perceive that the war is lost. That means supplying the rebels with the arms they need to stop the tanks and planes of the Assad forces. To protect civilians, safe zones can be established along Syria's borders with Turkey and Jordan, with help from Turkey or NATO.
Echoes of Syria's War in the Golan Heights With close-knit families and clans here already divided, there is fear on both sides that a slide into bloodshed would be disastrous. Druse community leaders have acted quickly to broker understandings and restore calm.
Syria rebels see future fight with foreign radicals Some fighters who have come to Syria are idealists who believe in jihad, or holy war, for oppressed Muslims, and would probably return home in a post-Assad era. But others are al Qaeda-linked fighters who may want a base in Syria. Their numbers are still low, but enough to worry countries fearing Iraq-style bloodshed in Syria, a country straddling the lines of most ethnic and regional conflicts in the Middle East.
"We could not endure anymore," Aleppo refugee says Some 2,400 Syrians reached Turkey overnight, the state-run Turkish Anatolian news agency said on Wednesday, adding to the 45,000 who have fled to Turkey since the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad started 17 months ago.
Two days in Aleppo: Snipers, temporary graveyards and stairwell beds Account of what Wedeman saw in Aleppo, including his harrowing trip into the city past snipers, street vendors selling their wares as bombs fall, and a lack of enthusiasm for the rebels' battle among many civilians.
Assaults on Aleppo come in response to Syrian defections The massive bombardment of rebels in Syria's largest city aims to prove to supporters of Bashar Assad that his regime is in control despite defections of top officials, activists and experts said Wednesday.

CPW 2007: I Got Served, and It Felt Grrreat!!
Posted in: Visit
Neo: You ever have that feeling where you're not sure if you're awake or still dreaming?
Seleeke Flingai (me): All the time. It's called MIT, it's the only way to fly.
I don't care how you take it, but my CPW experience was one of the most liberating, invigorating, and awe-inspiring times of my life. That's no exaggeration -- my four days at MIT changed my life more than I'd ever expect. From the myriad of future classmates I met, to the numerous fraternities I visited, to the awesome trips to a breakdancing competition at Tufts University and my little venture to Chinatown, I'll never forget my time at CPW 2007.
Wait, breakdancing competition?! Chinatown?!?!?
You bet. You could spend your time at CPW relegated to the large, sprawling campus, where you'd definitely have loads of fun. But my best experiences involved plenty of exploration. On Friday, many prefrosh and I attended an hour-long breakdancing class, which involved none other than yours truly huffing and puffing after many failed attempts at six steps, set ups, and a number of other breakdancing moves. After conversing with the two MIT students who taught the class (and learning about the large breakdancing community at the school and at Boston), I decided to trek over to Tufts University and catch a sweet breakdancing/popping competition that put "You Got Served" in its place.
The atmosphere was insane as a bevy of schools, ranging from our own MIT to the folks at Harvard, Boston U., Tufts, Brown, and more, danced their asses off with move after mouth-opening move. You'd be surprised at how agile and flexible these guys were, just as you would at how organized and choreographed their routines were. The improvisation was top notch too. But enough with the breakdancing -- on to Chinatown.
On only my second trip on a subway EVER (my first was to the Breakdancing shindig the night before), I braved the Boston T train system and made my way down to Chinatown, where I went shopping crazy for my peeps back home. I brought home a Chinese newspaper and a few gifts for my special lady in Minnesota, along with a couple of trinkets for my family. My humble state of 10,000 lakes doesn't have anything even close to a Chinatown (and I live in Minneapolis, the state's epicenter), so I HAD to make my way to this area on my stay here. I loved it, and if you ever have the chance, please check out this version of Chi-Town.
Now, my entire time at CPW wasn't spent away from campus. I visited a few classes, including a pretty entertaining Differential Equations class (although I still have no idea what the Dirac delta-function is) and a likewise interesting Japanese II course. I went to a Study Abroad panel that happened to include blogger Sam, and at the awesome Battle of the Bands event on the last night of my stay, I caught a glimpse of blogger Bryan. But, as anyone else who went to the Battle of the Bands would tell you, the highlight of the show (other than the fantastic closer by Dirt Water Refuge, who very much reminded me of Zeppelin and other classic rock staples) was the inspired performance by the Ben + Marilee Jones Power Duo (this name is trademarked by me...NO STEALING!!).
Marilee sang her heart out with a magnificent performance of the Rolling Stones' classic "You Can't Always Get What You Want," while Ben rocked out (unplugged) with some great guitar work. The crowd went wild, swayed along with Marilee, and sang the lyrics in unison. Oh, and how could I forget the Beaver's (MIT's beloved and oh-so-cute-yet-not-very-intimidating mascot) crowd surfing later in the night? It was the perfect end to a perfect CPW.
Will I remember CPW 2007 one, five, or even ten years from now? You betcha. My entire stay, which included my travels on campus and throughout Boston, is unlike anything I've ever done, and I can't wait to do more exploring come this August. See you in the fall!!
*If you didn't catch the Matrix quote at the top, shame on you.*

Wonder Water: 6 Unexpected Infused Water Ideas for Gorgeous Skin
While most dermatologists and doctors preach the benefits of drinking more water, water gets boring. Perhaps you've done just about everything to make your plain glass of water more enjoyable. If you're running out of ideas and are tempted to reach for a caffeinated beverage you're not alone. We talked to the experts who gave us six fresh infused water recipes that'll pack a punch of flavor and add health and beauty benefits to your H2O! If you're new to infused water it's easy. Chop up the ingredients, let them sit over night in your water pitcher and sip your way to healthy hydration inside and out.
Mango Ginger
This combo might seem weird, but adding the health benefits of ginger and the antioxidant power of mangoes is a surprisingly tasty mix! "Mangoes contain so many vitamins that help boost your immune system. It has antioxidants that maintain youthful glowing skin and aid in the production of blood cells," says Dr. Christopher Calapai D.O. an anti-aging expert and long-time health advisor to the New York Rangers hockey team. "Ginger is also helpful in fighting infection, has been linked to lower cholesterol levels, may reduce muscle aches, and helps digestion," adds Dr. Calapai.
Grapefruit Rosemary
Recently rosemary was found to be the main ingredient eaten by residents of an Italian village with one of the highest populations of people who live past 100! "Rosemary improves circulation and sends more blood to the brain which is linked to greater concentration and potentially reduces risk of Alzheimer's," says Dr. Calapai. Grapefruit is not only delicious but it's a natural fat burner, boosts metabolism and cleanses your liver.
Melon Mix
Cut up watermelon, honeydew and cantaloupe chunks and throw into your water over night. "This melon variety tastes great and is amazing for your skin," says Dr. Kally Papantoniou board certified dermatologist and clinical instructor at Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York. "Melons are immensely hydrating, meaning more hydration per cup of water. They are also chock-full of antioxidants that keep skin clear plus they contain vitamins that promote collagen production which helps skin cell turnover."
Citrus Mint
Pick your favorite citrus fruits, cut up into slices and add some crushed mint. "Adding mint to your water is not only extra refreshing but also improves digestive health and can speed up your metabolism," says Dr. Calapai. "Mint actually contains salicylic acid, a potent acne fighter," says Dr. Papantoniou. "It's also well known for it's anti-inflammatory properties which work to calm irritation both on your skin or internally," she adds.
Cucumber Lavender
"The reason so many spas use cucumber based treatments is because it contains many skin friendly minerals like magnesium, potassium and silicon," says Dr. Papantoniou. "This mix is especially healthy," says Dr. Calapai "Cucumbers are powerful detoxifiers, flushing out any waste in your system. Adding crushed lavender to the mix not only adds a beautiful aroma but can also help digestion as lavender contains polyphenols that reduce bad bacteria in your gut, making your system run smoother," he explains.
Pineapple Coconut Water
This one is almost cheating… almost. Get your favorite store bought raw coconut water and refrigerate over night with large chunks of pineapple. The coconut-pineapple flavor combo is delicious and reminiscent of a piña colada without all the sugar and calories. Although this is not pure H2O, coconut water contains electrolytes which plain water does not, which rehydrate you in record time. "Pineapple is yet another fruit that aids in collagen production," says Papantoniou "This is not just great for beautiful skin, collagen also has a major role in bone health and tissue repair."
Clearly there are benefits to keeping hydrated. Water does not have to be boring, it can be delicious. Drink up!

- Abstract
The article takes up the question of the distinctiveness of the Web as site of social and cultural research. First, it seeks to situate analytical associations between the Internet and ideas of cyberspace and the virtual. It seeks to demonstrate the current conceptual opportunities available for cyberspace in security studies and the virtual in game studies. It subsequently makes a plea for a shift in focus for research away from the Internet as bracketed realm. How to employ the Internet for research into more than online culture only? Subsequently, it asks, what opportunities are available for research that takes up the Web as source? In the event there are currently competing programs that seek to introduce the Web as well as other digital media as data sets to be studied for purposes unrelated to cyberculture or similar. After a brief synopsis of the debate surrounding the Web as data set, the contribution made here is an underlying media theory that seeks to treat the Internet as a specific medium in the sense of the methods it offers. Thus instead of digitizing and bringing online existing method from the humanities and social sciences, the proposal is to follow the methods in the medium, and repurpose them for rather traditional social and cultural research purposes.

Grilled Tuna Salad With Wasabi Dressing
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (+ 2 teaspoons)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (+ 2 teaspoons)
- 1 1/4 lb fresh tuna steak
- 4 teaspoon wasabi powder
- 2 tablespoon tahini (sesame paste)
- 2 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 salt & pepper to taste
- 7 oz alfalfa sprouts (2 cups)
- 7 oz trimmed enoki mushrooms
- 1/2 lb young spinach, stemmed
- 2 tablespoon slivered pickled ginger
1. Available at Asian Markets, well-stocked grocery stores and some health food markets.
(Note: In place of wasabi, you could use an equal amount of powdered dry mustard)
2. In a shallow glass dish, combine 1 T of the soy sauce and 1 t of the oil. Add the tuna and coat well. Refrigerate for about 15 minutes, turning fish twice.
3. Light grill or preheat broiler. In small bowl, mix wasabi powder with 4 t of hot water. Cover and set aside for 5 minutes.
4. In another bowl, stir 2 T of warm water into the tahini. Stir in the wasabi paste, vinegar, mustard, sugar, garlic and the remaining 2 t soy sauce and 4 t oil. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Season the tuna with salt and pepper; grill or broil until crusty on the outside and rare within, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the fish to a plate to rest for a few minutes, then slice it against the grain 1/3 inch thick.
6. In large bowl, toss the alfalfa sprouts with the enoki mushrooms and all but 2 T of the dressing. Scatter spinach leaves on 4 large plates and arrange tuna on top. Drizzle on the remaining 2 T dressing. Mound the sprout salad on the tuna, scatter the pickled ginger on top and serve.

As you know, on 13 July 2010, I wrote a farewell post titled "LAST CALL"
What you don't know, is that my blog is set to send an email to me, whenever a comment is made on a posting. There were 36 comments of a friendly or benign nature, and two hostile, for a total of 38. The 2 hostile comments came within seconds of each other. Indicating, in my opinion, they were written by the same person...
For the record, I submit EXHIBIT 1 into evidence:
If it pleases thecourt, I submit exhibit "B" into evidence:
To show what I mean, this is what "FEEDJIT" shows when I access my blog:
Since there is only 1 connection listed from El Cajon, And I know that is where I connect from. It is safe to assume this is me. The "0 secs ago" confirms this was the newest entry. And the "Some Things I Have Learned" confirms this "Screen Snapper" happened on my blog, and not say, at the one Heff has on his blog.
So Mr/Ms ANONYMOUS hails from Cary, North Carolina. And I made the "Screen Snapper" 12 minutes after the connection was made. 5 minute delay between the time Blogger sends the massage, and my POP (Post Office Protocol) client queries the Gmail server,. Another 5 minutes for me to hear the "Got Mail" chime, take a look, read and laugh at this jerk. And another 2 minutes to dicide on a plan and execute the steps needed to collect the "Screen Snapper."
Then at 9:55 AM 20 July 2010 Cornholio (aka Blase) leaves, the now infamous "Pfsst" comment:
30 comments:
- Your new background... I'm impressed! Has Ophhilia seen it? I hear she likes her some purple.
- ok...I'm not sure who let this "B.S." (Brittany Sommer,Yankee of some sort) on the loose, but somebody needs to throw her back in the pond or something. ..Damn!
- ..and who the hell is she talking too???
- HEY BS! Come over to my Blog. I've got a song for you that will make you let down your hair and shake your bootay like there is not tomorrow. Trust me.
- ..screw my misspelling, it's FRIDAY and I feel as groovy as a Tar Hell Muther F***er!
- Knock Knock Who's there? If you'd wouldn't worry so much about who is at the damn door all the time and just let me in...we could have as much fun as the "Whole Hee Haw Gang" WHOOOOooooo, Oh Yeah, Baby!
- What do you get when you cross a dead fish with a rotten corpse? It doesn't matter, just get rid of the shi*
- Why did the Chicken cross the road? TO GET TO THE OTHER SIDE. It ALWAYS has been that, and it always WILL be that.
- my back hurts...I'm going to go lie down somewhere.
- Seriously, HH, was this really necessary? I have never seen such a vicious and mean-spirited attack on the the blogosphere. He's not King of the hill, but who are we kidding, neither are you. Bullying your friends? If this isn't a classic case of the pot calling the kettle black then I don't know what is. And you didn't find that shit (aka NPD symptoms) in a book, you found it on Wikipedia. You could have handled this situation better. You don't like the guy? Fine, you don't have to. But declaring a state of war is going way overboard. Why are you doing this? Because you are not putting an end to this BS, you are the one who started it all by being offensive and insulting. Frankly, I expected better of you. Read your own words and tell me who's the real bully here. So yeah, I am taking sides. But I suppose that's what you wanted all along. For your readers to take sides. Your side. I'm sorry, but this has left a bad taste in my mouth.
- Easy there, Double D! I appreciate the love and you know you're my Girl and everything, but I've got this Old Timer inside of a bunker and I'm about to shovel dirt over it. Ain't going to be no white flag waving on Blasé's part.
- Double D, HH might have Ms Anthropy fooled...but that's ok. Everyone needs to be loved and that is where Ms A comes in.
- My back needs massaging and I wouldn't have Ms A touch it for all the money in the world. I got chicks that are COOL over at my Blog...
- I've turned over a new leaf...tomorrow Blasé shall start a new life.......reading BOOKS! The first book I read will have something to do with- "NPD" (whatever the hell that means...It is my current understanding that I've got the symptoms)
- Whenever I need the pages turned (on my books..duh!)...I will have my harem lick their fingers and turn them for me...preferably naked.
- Ms A is NOT invited...
- Blasé will now lean his back up against Forrest Gump and get some sleep tonight. I'll watch his back, and he'll watch mine. Tomorrow, unless enemy fire has overtaken us, I shall regroup my men and once again show the Blogosphere who THE MAN is around these here parts. Don't judge me, y'all don't know me. Peace and Love
- Ok I get it, You guys are setting this all up to get some good hits. Well its working, cause this has got me laughing my ass off...and that is a LOT of ass to laugh off. Hell this made my night. You two are so bad ass, no really very good stuff. Nice to Meet you KW...looking forward to more.
- yaaaawn [rubbing eyes, whiping snot off lips].. HEY MICHELLE! While you're shaking hands with the enemy/HH...keep your eyes on the hand you can't see (it's got a knife in it). North Korea ain't got shit on HH. FYI: Please don't laugh too much of your "ass off" because I like my women with some 'junk-in-the-trunk' (more to hold on to...)
- HEY HH! I've got more lint collecting in my navel than you've got comrades. Bring ON your Army...I'll take them on ONE by ONE. Your silly/sissy rules don't jive with me. Where is that Karen? Is she still taking pictures of all the men doing the work on her house? When is she going to lay down her camera and pickup a hammer or something?
- ..and why is it when I "publicly follow" 'Some Things I have Learned'...the whole damn list gets the boot?? You don't appreciate some FLAVOR in your blog?
- I'm such a STRAIGHT SHOOTER that I've lost more "followers" than you will ever COLLECT...MOFO! Do you think I care, OLD Bearded One? Haa HAA! You can have your "ChristyJesusLou" type of followeres. BIG DEAL/OR NO DEAL!
- ..and WHERE IS that preacher-woman? What is her name? OH YEAH.....Chatty Kelly. Is she still praying for me? Well, if she is...it ain't doing a damn bit of good. More fasting is needed, I'm sure.
- I need breakfast............. "HEY SWEETBABY..GET YOUR BIG ASS IN THE KITCHEN BEFORE I GET OUT MY BELT" ..ha..y'all should see her running
- That was good...damn good. They don't make women like SweetBaby, anymore. 'Today's Women' don't have a freakin' CLUE.
- HEY HH, I could play 'Hop-Scotch' wearing a tutu with makeup...and I would STILL be more manly than YOU. Just ask my women over at my Blog. My women don't wear training bras, and they aren't spoiled with sensitive feelings like your followers are.
- I got an idea...... How 'bout you and your women/Army have a Bible study and I'll come over and lead the prayer........................rightafter they do a strip-search on me.
- You might have the better looking blog background (I'm still impressed) and you might be more handsome than me (very,very debatable)....but I've got the better looking women over at my Blog. Trust me.
- My women will tell you straight UP- "If you don't follow Blasé, that is YOUR loss, not his". Go ahead, ask them.
- I read in a book-
"At Blasé's Blog, you get 'The Cream of the Crop' and 'The Gravy'.....but at HH's Blog, you get leftovers and crumbs"
but, you can't believe everything you read in a book.

I don't suffer from BFS, but my wife HAS been recently diagnosed following a brief, and rather dismissive, meeting with a neurologist, after about a year of seeing her GP.
The problem is my wife doesn't experience fasciculations, but amongst other things, does have a lot of myalgia centred largley in her legs, which varies from mildly annoying to almost disabling.
The neuro made no particular observation about this, despite it being the primary symptom, and in fact wasn't really sure if it could be attributed to BFS.
I don't feel my wife's evident pain, but it is horrible to sit there being useless.
Any thoughts?

An Open Letter To TMJ....

I love your postings keep it coming...ReplyDelete
Spot on! Love this post.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousApril 2, 2012 at 7:31 PM
Thumbs up gurlz!!!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousApril 3, 2012 at 4:42 AM
i followed the queen parody account. sometimes hilarious just taking another level, but somehow it reflects 50% of the person behaviour, yes? barking in the wrong alley sometimes causes you more harm than noises, i think TMJ forgot that being Prince himself should set a different attitude than people who doesnt born with silver spoon in his mouth. Being that, i reckon he's stamp with such a disgrace to Sultan Johor institution. i would like to see how stupid this issues gonna get, 'launching' a police report over a parody account, worried for imitation of his-already-bad-reputation? HA-HA. i pity this dude for stepping down to a dirty involvement with celebrity with history of punching other woman over a man. what a way to throw and waste all your God-given bless. i hope some well-educated-wise person would really clarify this consequences to him.ReplyDelete
and p/s, police in johor got not bigger issue/cases to handle isn't it? i wonder how TMJ's called his lawyer and explain this,is it with a cry 'someone just imitating me, do something!', the lawyer mustve a thick brain.
My dear Farah Harith, evidently you are NOT stupid at all. Thank you for elucidating the sentiment of a huge number of Malaysian tweeters. I'd like to link this entry to my blog if you don't mind.ReplyDelete
To HRH TMJ,
You have yet to gain the prerequisite level of importance so as to garner haters. (Hint: people who have haters are people who are awesome at what they do - such as, being good at tweeting and able to keep it within 140 characters, brevity being the soul of wit and all...) All you have are Malaysians who are annoyed that your childish antics online are infringing on our freedom of expression.
To be honest, HRH TMJ, aside from the sickeningly sycophantic Malaysians who are fawning on you on Twitter (and whose tweets to you get re-tweeted), most of us don't really care about what happens inside the world of royalties anymore. We have new heroes now. The heroes of today are Nobel prize winners, successful CEOs, brilliant scientists, commanding leaders who rise due to merit and intellect (not by birthright alone), and inspiring personalities such as Mother Theresa and microcredit system creator Muhammad Yunus. Seeing as you are yet to be among these illustrious figures, you might want to start by being a good leader to your own people. You might want to start by setting a good example - and staying away from badmouthing people by name in social media. Did you realize that the actress you mentioned by name, in such scathing terms not befitting of a royal prince, did not even bother to reply your tweet? How does that make you seem in comparison?
Seriously, it is a very sad day when someone who has been brought up with such privileges, such enviable access to good education, regrettably conducts himself in a manner that is no better than the rest of us who only get to attend regular schools.
"To know a man's true character, give him power."
What are you doing with the (actually) minimal power you have now? You have yet to be crowned as king, but we are already dreading the day THAT happens. That does not bode well for your character as a Muslim leader.
thank you for your kind compliments. i just write it as i see it.ReplyDelete
by the way Heidi, you can link this entry to your blog. not a problem. although i am curious as to why you said 'evidently i'm not stupid after all'. hahahaha of course i welcome all critiques with an open heart but you sound like someone has been saying im stupid and you came to conclusion im not. but then again, i can be stupid sometimes, and it is comments and criticisms that i receive, be it from people i know or strangers on the net, that make me a better person. compliments will only get one so far, but criticism will make one improve one's life.
so thank you everyone, for all your comments. i can't express how much i truly appreciate them all.
Well, TMJ keeps referring to people who condemns his disgraceful online conduct as 'stupid haters' - but many of the tweets against him which I have read are quite logical and moderate. You were also wondering in one of your posts about TMJ's statements and whether or not he puts you in that subset. Either that or I've been giving your posts too much subtext, in which case, I apologize. Heh.ReplyDelete
Anyway, you have nothing to worry re your intellect. Someone who can string together coherent sentences and arrange her arguments in a cogent and unbiased manner is not a 'stupid hater'. I think this is a case of a prince who slipped, showed his bad manners in public and is embarrassed to realize that some of his subjects may be smarter than he is. :)
Oh and I've changed my mind on the linking. I'll link this entry once I actually write my piece about TMJ. For the time being I'd rather not direct too much traffic to my blog. Your blog is quite the traffic magnet now, haha. For now I'm linking you to my Twitter instead!Replies
- AnonymousFebruary 1, 2013 at 1:02 AM
I have to agree with you, his Twitter Account may have closed but he left us with a lasting impression of his "behavior" as Prince. He is indeed embarrassed that his subjects are smarter then him, I will give you an example(read this twitter & in the few last tweets you will understand what I mean):Delete
Gaah! Grammatical error: ..people who condemn his disgraceful online conduct..ReplyDelete

very good reading n a late sunday evening. i wish there are more malaysians like yourself. i have not come across someone with sense like you for awhile now. the infection of stupidity and ignorance within our populace is getting to me, good to know there are still folks with values and are still sane! :)ReplyDeleteReplies
thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to read my thoughts :-) i just figured that amidst all the nonsense, we should somehow try to advocate common sense in whatever small way we can.Delete
thank you everyone for your compliments. all i ask is we spread common sense :-)ReplyDelete

I am Sporean living in JB. Everyday I have to travel back & forth fm SG to JB and from JB to SG. I love living here. I must admit, JB is a very good state but the only thing I hate the most, its when the royal family leaving the palace to SG or to any places they want to visit. Whenever these royal people leaving their palace, for sure there will be a massive jam!! Just imagine I was trapped for about 3 hrs from 6.45am to 9am!! Not once but couple of times. The police officers blocked the customs & road...DUH... In SG, whenever our Ministers or LKY passing by, the most we will see lots of traffic police convoyed our minister's car and "Shooo" the other road users to move to the other lane. In my heart was cursing this Johor Royal Family madly coz am late for work again. Ini namanya sudah menyusahkan rakyat and hukumnya berdosa. Just because they are from Royal Family? Kentut busuk jugak! Their blood is the same color as us unless if its blue than I will shut my mouth. Farah, I agreed on what you wrote above. He's not only a public figure but he's going to be a future ROYAL king! Nauzubillah. Cant he show good example and behave like someone more beradab! By behaving like this, there's a saying - ada ilmu takde akhlak. We are human being after all. Even he's borned in the Royal Family, in ALLAH's eye we are the same.ReplyDeleteReplies
I am sorry to hear about the ordeal you have to face in JB. I guess what we as the rakyat can do is to start demanding for better behaviour from them. Of course it won't happen in the blink of an eye, we can only pray that they stop menyusahkan the rakyat :-)Delete
well said tejaReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 21, 2013 at 1:14 AM
I really like your letter..ReplyDelete
To Farah,Anonymous Sporean & others who critisized the royals..my advice look at yourself first in the mirror..we are all humans and humans makes mistake...so stop badmouthing others even though..I presumed..you wanted to show off your skill in writing or to be one of the stupid bloggers... Show some respect to others privacy..ReplyDeleteReplies
- AnonymousJuly 18, 2013 at 3:07 AM
what privacy are you talking about? the author wasnt exposing any of TMJs private life. This is not badmouthing, encik. This is called a piece of an advice to your kerabat diraja who felt their standard is as high as the god knows what.Delete
bila banyak grammar error, org kata pergi belajar english dulu baru ambil hak nak advice the royals. bila dah bagus orang kata nak show off pula.
berpadalah dalam mengipas makhluk Tuhan.

VSU student with cerebral palsy plans to walk across the stage
Published date: May 17, 2017
Known around the campus of Virginia State University (VSU) as "The Mayor" or "KJ," VSU senior Keith Granderson is a young man who has not let life challenges define him.
Granderson was born three months prematurely and with cerebral palsy.
"I was born with a disability but through the grace of God I am still here." Granderson shared with a feeling of gratitude. "I have been through the fire and the storm."
Granderson earned the name "The Mayor" from VSU's President Makola M. Abdullah, Ph.D.
"Shortly after I was named the President of Virginia State University in December 2015, Keith was one of the first persons to reach out to me via social media," Abdullah said. "After meeting him, the name 'Mayor" just seem to fit him."
Now 25, Granderson will join the nearly 600 prospective Trojan graduates during the University's Spring Commencement on Saturday, May 13. The University will hold two ceremonies – 9 a.m. and at 2 p.m. in the VSU Multipurpose Center. Mr. Jeff Johnson, award-winning journalist and motivational speaker, will deliver the commencement address for both ceremonies.
Granderson will earn his bachelor's degree in criminal justice during the 9 a.m. ceremony.
"Everything feels so surreal," Granderson said with the biggest smile. "I am so blessed. I have had many challenges in my life but I would not let those challenges stop me. My family is amazing and have always kept me motivated, especially my mother."
His mother, Lisa Gill, who is a student at VSU, will graduate this December. They both wished they could have graduated together but Gill shared, "It is perfectly fine. I want KJ to have the spotlight. I always wanted to make sure KJ and his brother, Draykar, who graduated from Norfolk State University in 2013, received their college diplomas before me anyway."
As any proud mother would do, Gill continued by expressing her excitement
"Oh, I just know I am going to be an emotional wreck and full of emotions," said Gill with such pride and excitement. "This is one of KJ's greatest accomplishments and his graduation will be one of the greatest days of my life. I normally don't pat myself on the back but I think I may do just that after Saturday."
Granderson and his mother even had a class [development psychology] together this spring semester.
"It was alright having a class with my mother," said Granderson, who was looking side eyed at his mother when commenting. "We sat beside each other, shared notes and you know my mom made sure I did the work."
They both earned an "A" in the class.
Granderson, who has his own special video tribute produced by the University, has already secured a job. Following graduation, Granderson will work as a dispatcher for the Virginia State University's Police Department.
"I love Virginia State University," said Granderson, who almost shouted with so much pride. "I recruit for this University 24 hours, seven days a week. I am so proud to become an alumnus. God has given me so much to be thankful."

Thank you for your blog Linda. I so agree that music is for a lifetime. I am in my 60's now. Music reaches into my heart and influences my thinking as much now as ever, especially when going through difficult situations. To think that we can bring joy and comfort to others through music, as well as encouragement and empowerment. I understand how young people want to branch out and go into other directions, but I wish they would be able to make room for both. Yes, it takes discipline and sacrifice, but in the end they will reap so much more reward. As I look back on my youth, I regret that I didn't remain steadfast in my piano lessons. Today, when I sit down at the piano to play, I frequently think back to those days. Thank you for offering your gift of music to others, your students have such an opportunity to learn and share their gifts, too, and to make a difference in others lives as well.

Cruising Right Along!
Baby boy Cameron will be seven months along on Monday April 27th! I feel him move a lot and am starting to think it may be time to get to some of those birth preparedness classes! I think I may be starting to get a bit nervous about all that! We are all registered and have been scavenging garage / yard sales regularly and have found GREAT stuff!! I am still amazed every day when I "remember" my goodness, I really AM pregnant!! I know that may sound funny, but it happens. I still tell everyone how God has blessed me and Jason through Embryo Donation / Adoption!!
