Last year sort of sucked for me. I spent a lot of it in pain or stressed over our finances. I had a goal that was to get The Shadow Prince published. I'd even started to save a nice sum for its editing and cover. Sadly, a series of events conspired to not let that be so. I've mixed feeling on that, as I am now in process of adding the AToCaH chapters.
I had to let go of my car as it just started swallowing money. I've been driving my father's secondary vehicle ever since my daughter switched schools, which is a bit of a blessing as the other car would've also been heinously expensive to travel back and forth in all the time. We do have another car, but we're still working on making that road legal.
Our debts are finally settling. We've now got a working internet connection that doesn't cost the earth. Paying $99 for 12GB is, quite frankly, ridiculous, especially when our five-person house managed to chew through $600's worth in one month... Now we pay $99 for a month. And it doesn't throw hissy fits if it rains. Yay!
I discovered I'm lactose intolerant now. Years of eating the stuff and, after a suspected ulcer, my body goes "nope!" But it's amazing how much I don't miss a lot of things (although it's equally surprising what does have lactose in it) and how I actually enjoy rabbit food... I mean, salads. Some of them, anyway. I'm not a full convert.
I haven't had caffeine for a whole year as I now drink mostly water and decaffeinated tea. I got addicted to apples. Specifically the Envy variety, of which no one stocks here until later on in the year. Red Delicious just isn't the same, but they'll do.
So yeah... that's been my year.
Here's to hoping I actually reach a damn goal this year, because I'm gunning for getting one of these damn books published.

That sucks about the car, but yay for the stable internet connection! I'm lactose intolerant too, but since I don't consume a lot of dairy, it doesn't affect me much. But occasionally, I'll have a nice cream sauce on my pasta, and then pay for it a half-hour later. Apples...mmmm...ReplyDeleteReplies
Ugh, I remember how my soy hot chocolate was accidently made with normal milk... Spend hours in agony.Delete
But I've these tablets for whenever I go out to eat with the family. They come in this handy little dispenser and I take three before I eat any dairy. I think the benefits last about an hour, but I was so pleased when I found out about them.
Yes, apples. I must eat one mid-afternoon or I get terribly snakey.

The glaring fact about the immigration issue at this point is that the president has outmaneuvered the House GOP leadership. House Speaker John Boehner's unwise decision to delay debate on the Senate bill has backfired on him and his party.
President Obama is threatening to tackle the increasingly complex immigration problem by decree. What are, then, the likely political consequences for the president if he, indeed, takes action?
From the liberals, who seem to be less troubled by constitutional violence, 100-percent approval. From Hispanics, desperate and exhausted by the wait, 100-percent gratitude and Democratic loyalty at the voting booth. I urge Republican friends to reach out to Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart or be ready to pay dearly for the incompetent handling of the issue.

Happy Meow-lloween: Top 8 Hilarious and Adorable Cat Pictures to Illustrate my Week
I haven't been sleeping well this week. Actually, that's an understatement. I can't seem to stay asleep between the hours of 4 am and 6:30 am, no matter how hard I try. I'm sure it's nature's way of preparing me for 2 am, 4 am, and 6 am feedings. But it still bites.
I decided to illustrate my week with cat pictures. Well, actually, I found a bunch of great pictures at www.cuteoverload.com and decided to use this as a flimsy excuse to post them.
1.) Trying to hide from the sad reality of Monday morning.
2.) How I felt while trying to get out of bed when the alarm went off.
3.) Seemed like a handy solution when I couldn't go back to sleep EVERY morning this week. (Not really--Guinness smells way too gross to ever consider drinking any, pregnant or not. But isn't the little drunkard adorable?)
4.) Are you trying to tell me I have four more days of this this week?
5.) I give up. I wanna go home!
6.) I've been trying to keep my head above water all week. (But I'm not nearly as cute doing it.)
7.) Looking forward to a nice long soak once we get to the coast.
8.) How I'd feel if someone told me I couldn't go on vacation this weekend.
Happy Meow-lloween, everyone!

First Campanula Complete
This is posted over at http://campanulaforthecure.blogspot.com/ and you can still get the pattern there...
Monday, November 26, 2007
First Hedera Done!
Yes, I finally finished the first Hedera sock. I had trouble with the lace pattern in the beginning and I think that put some bad vibes into the yarn and kept me from working on it as much as I should have. (Bad vibes? Did I really say that?) Anywho, the sock is done and it fits wonderfully, I can't wait for the second one to be done so I can wear these babies!
The yarn is Crystal Palace's Maizy (82% Corn Fiber - 18% elastic nylon), the fabric feels great and it was nice to work with except when it came time to kitchner the toe. Oh how the yarn fought me! But I still love this yarn and will be continuing to collect it and pack it in the sock yarn box like a squirrel. Oooh, and there are going to be some new colors for Spring, I'm really excited about "stormy purple" and "earth."

They DON'T Need To Match
Pretty cool pajama pants, aren't they? I bought them for myself as a birthday present. There are bats in them, and the eyes and teeth of the bats glow in the dark. Sweeeet!

Cascade Elite cotton socks!
I received a lovely skein of colorgrown Cascade Elite Nature's Palette cotton from Ellie along with a pattern for a lace rib sock, and lovely Brittany needles. I normally prefer to use two circs but this time I decided to use all the materials she'd given me (including lovely sock stitch markers) and follow the pattern exactly. I'm onto the foot of the first sock and I love how the rib lace looks.

First ever Toe-Up Heel
I think I'm going to have plenty of yarn for this sock and it's mate - I wish I had done the Monkey's as toe up socks - then they could have been a shorter version and all matched. Oh well...

FO - Monkey
...and another sort of funny thing - I'll be back in Bismarck this weekend and could get more yarn - we'll see if I want to bother ripping back and completing with the 'right' yarn...
I like them a lot - they're comfy and they fit well and they look good with blue jeans - I think they'll be nice with shorts next summer too...
Now it's on to the Campanula socks - remember I wanted something nice and lacey for the Bernat Cotton - I think the pattern is still available for a donation...

Spiral Boot Socks
Sorry for the crazy pictures, really hard to take a picture of one's own legs :)
All in all, I'm really happy with these socks. They are a bit too big but otherwise fine. The yarn is nice and shiny, not very stretchy (100% cotton).

So...What Puked These?
Remember the Blueberry Puke- socks? The Puke-socks series got a sequel today when these got knit. Though it's still not clear what puked these up. I used the same yarn as in the Blueberry socks, except naturally not the same colour. 100% acrylic. They took me two days to knit. Not bad.
One Monkey off my back
Now - on to sock #2...

Yarn Substitution
and at 10¢ each - I will spend about 60¢ to finish my sock.
I have an old drop spindle and I plied the yarn - it's a pretty close match - but in natural light I can see that the blue is brighter and the olive is darker than the original - the lime is still a good match. I shouldn't have tried to match under 'stuff mart's' flourescent lights.
Stuff Mart = walmart - if you watch the Veggie Tales Madame Blueberry - that's the store she gets all her 'stuff' at - so we've called it that since the Man-Cub was little - very appropriate...

Black Stitch Yarn
Ok. This is totally unfair as this Hibiscuitsgirl is no longer making this yarn. But I loved it so maybe I can get a few tips from her on where she got the yarn to dye.
The Black Stitch yarn was a fingering weight 100% cotton sock yarn dyed in several colorways. Pictured above is "stronghold" which Hibiscuits girl was kind enough to send to me free in exchange for trying it out since it was new.
I knit some basic ankle socks using a mock cable pattern for the leg and a stockinette top of foot and reverse stockinette on the sole.
This yarn is shiny and soft to the touch. It is very smooth so at times using the Addi Turbos was trying but it would have been great on bamboo needles. It does not split easily at all - the plies were very tight and held together well. I made the socks for my big fat size 10 feet with just a few yards leftover from a single skein, which at $12 normally was a great deal. I'm very sorry I didn't order more while she was still making it.
Monkey Sock Update
Good thing I never wear socks with sandals...
Bernat Cool Crochet - One more Review
This is Bernat's description:
Cool Crochet
All Shades (161074)
26 sts - 36 rows = 4" (10 cm)
Suggested Knitting Needle
3.75 mm, US - 5
Suggested Crochet Hook
3.75 mm, US - F/5
Machine washable. Lay flat to dry.
All Shades (161074)
Content: 70% Cotton - 30% Nylon
Put-up: 1.75 oz / 50 g, 3 Balls / Package
Length: 200 yd / 182 m
The yarn is very soft and has a slight shimmer - it glides on the needles - which is nice after the stiff Baby Denim...
I swatched on size 2 needles and the shimmer is not so apparent in the stockinette stitch - but still a very nice drapey fabric.
So - if you know of a nice lacey summer sock pattern - send it my way...

The Pick-Me-Up Socks/ yarn review: Rowan RYC Classic Bamboo Soft
Rowan RYC Classic Bamboo Soft100% Bamboo viscose50g/ 201 m (112 yds)25 sts x 30 rows= 10cm/4inches3,75mm needles/ size 5 US
+ just feel the yarn! it is so soft you'd want to run the skein on your
cheek over and over and over again
+ it comes in fabulous (a little metallic) shades of colours. too bad my
LYS didn't carry the darker grey..
- as a fan of cheap things I wouldn't mind if it would cost a little
less. (my LYS selss it for 4,45€/skein)
+ knitting with this yarn is almost dreamy. it slides through your fingers
like a little river of satin.
- it splits into strands a little too easily to my taste
+ since it is so thick knitting socks with it does not take too long
- I don't think it'll prove to be the most durable sock-yarn
+ wearing socks knitted with this yarn will feel like your feet would be
surrounded with kittens
+ most importantly the yarn and the socks succeeded in their task of providing
me the pick-me-up I needed!

Bright Pink Comfy Sock
Classic Elite FLASH - Yarn Review
I was pleasantly surprised - the shop owner came over (of course) to see if she could help me and when I told her that I didn't use animal fibers - she graciously switched gears without even batting an eye and steered me over to some cottons - then she left and came back with a sample book and offered to order anything that I wanted...
I explained that I was on vacation and appreciated the offer - at least with a sample book you can touch the yarn and see the colors - as opposed to internet shopping - but I chose Classic Elite Flash in the Gulf Green colourway - this is their description of the yarn:
"fiber: 100% Mercerized Cotton gauge: 4.5 - 5
manufacturer: Classic Elite yards per skein: 93
recommended needle: 7 machine washable: yes
This soft tweedy multi color cotton that is perfect for any spring or summer project. Flash is made up from 3 strands of different colors. Great for kids-- it is machine washable."
The Gulf Green colourway is three distinct strands - olive green - lime green and sea blue...
As soon as I finished the tennis socks as cast on for 'Monkey' socks at Kala's suggestion http://vegansockkal.blogspot.com/2007/07/opinions.html
I've only completed the first pattern set - but I love the yarn
It has a silky feel and a little shimmer - but it does tend to split pretty easily...
Yarn review - Schachenmayr Bambino
Anyhow. One I loved to knit with was this wonderful baby-yarn I'm now reviewing.

Tennis Socks - Finished
...a couple of bad light hotel room photos...
...and here they are with shoes...
...nice and soft... comfy...
Aunt Lydia's® "Baby Denim" Yarn Review
This is the Coats and Clark description of the yarn:
Super-soft worsted weight 8-ply crochet thread. Ideal for babies, toddlers, apparel, and home décor. Versatile 75% cotton/25% acrylic blend medium weight thread. 8.64 oz / 246g / 400 yd / 366m ball. Machine wash. Imported. Knit gauge in stockinette stitch, size 8 (5mm) needles: 20 sts and 25 rows = 4" (10cm). Crochet gauge in single crochet, size H-8 (5mm) hook: 20 sc and 25 rows = 4" (10cm).
and at $5.75 US for a 400 yard ball - it's quite a bargain.
When I chose this yarn for the tennis socks I was hoping for a sturdy, soft, absorbent yarn - and I think that this yarn meets all of these requirements...
I found the yarn a little bit difficult to work with as it's sort of stiff - and I wouldn't recommend using less than a size 3 US needle. You can see the 8 plys of cotton thread and it does have a tendency to split. The finished sock certainly seems sturdy (the pair is finished and I'll post pics later) and after washing and wearing they are very soft - I have not played tennis in them yet - but I think they will hold up well...

Yarn Review: Rowan Calmer
Jannette's Rare Yarns who is selling some of the older colorways at US$6.25-6.50 and shipping to the US (which is by air, i.e. fast) is $4 for the first ball, $1 for each additional. You might be interested to know there's a cute pattern for ballet slippers called Twinkletoes using Calmer, which is kind of pushing the definition of socks but hey they're footwear so I think it's relevant. :)
Bernat Sox Yarn Review
It's available in plain colours and variegated (links are to the Yarndex pages of the yarn). You can see the Sox Multi projects on Ravelry here and the Sox Plain projects here.
Examples of Sox socks:
There are 203 yards per ball meaning that you will need 2 for an adult pair of socks.
Some people like acrylic yarn, personally this yarn makes my teeth itch and I only used it as the variety of vegan sock yarn a few years ago was terrible. I do like the socks I've made with it and they appear to be lasting forever, but I won't be buying any more.
Anna in Liverpool England
Elann Esprit Yarn Review
Fibre Content: 98.3% Cotton 1.7% Elastic
Made In: Brazil
Care: Hand Wash/ Dry Flat
Gauge: 25 st/4 inches 4.5 mm (US 7)
Yardage: 91m/ 100 yds (relaxed) - 170m/186 yds (stretched)
Size: 50g (1.75 oz) ball
Price: $2.75 USD
It's available in plain colours and prints.
Again the needle size is a bit big for socks I think, and it knits well on 3.25mm needles which is what most Fixation patterns call for.
Having used both the Esprit and the Fixation I really couldn't tell much, if any, difference between the two and the Esprit wears and washes as well as the Fixation does. If Elann didn't have such stupid shipping rates to England I'd be stocking up on the prints for sure!

Australia's Packer Ups Ten TV Holdings
SYDNEY -- Australian billionaire James Packer has upped his stake in television network Ten Network Holdings to nearly 18%, signaling a return to media investments for the tycoon.
Packer's Consolidated Press Holdings increased its stake in Ten to 17.88%, according to a substantial shareholder notice filed with the Australian Securities Exchange late Wednesday. Ten said the stake had risen from 16.46%.
Packer would need at least a 19.9% stake to trigger any takeover offer under Australian law. Local media said Packer was more likely to seek a board seat on Ten rather than launch a full bid.
The filing confirmed local media reports that Packer, who controls casino operator Crown Ltd. and a 50.5% stake in Consolidated Media Holdings, was buying into Ten.
Earlier, newspapers reported that Packer had acquired a 15.6% stake worth A$245 million ($237 million) from the market at a 6.4% premium to Ten's closing share price on Tuesday.
In a statement on Wednesday, Ten said it was aware of the media reports identifying Packer as the buyer of the 15.6% stake, but it "has yet to be formally advised" as to the identity of the acquirer.
Ten shares closed 9.6% higher at A$1.54 on Wednesday in response to the share raid in a weak market.
In August, Ten forecast a 37% increase in fiscal year earnings, boosted by a new digital channel. Ten is due to report profits on Thursday.
Packer had sold out of his last free-to-air television interest in Channel Nine parent company PBL Media in 2008, to private equity firm CVC.

I hope you are all enjoying the wonderful weather over the last few days. As it's summer I think it's quite fitting to make something from Nigella's Forever Summer cookbook. Now, I can't remember the last time I ate a trifle let alone made a trifle, but after watching Nigella make this on her Forever Summer tv show I was tempted to give it a try.
This trifle uses both English and Italian influences ammerti and limoncello -Italian and sponge fingers as the English influence. As I love Italian food and Italian ingredients, I thought I would give this trifle a shot. The only problem I could foresee was a) converting all the american cup ingredients into grams (I have an American version of the book, I blame the Works bookstore and my love of discounted cookbooks), and b) converting rum into limoncello or a lemon infused rum (refused to buy limoncello just to use 275 ml and will probably not use it again.......) .
For my first time making a trifle I don't think I did too bad.
Instead of reprinting the recipe I will share the three main ingredients I changed. Firstly, I used fresh cranberries (150g) instead of (675g) blackberries. Fresh cranberries do not have a sweet taste like cranberry sauce; fresh cranberries can be sour, so I cut the cranberries in half, added sugar and extra jam (in the heating the fruit over the pan stage). I suggest using other seasonal fruit available if you can not find fresh blackberries. Also I used my own homemade blueberry jam (recipe from Nigella's Kitchen book p.285) and I used 200 ml white rum mixed with half a lemon and three tablespoons of granulated sugar instead of 250 ml limoncello. The original recipe can be found here: Anglo Italian trifle

We all need support sometimes. If you are in a mental health crisis, or know someone who is, then here are some ways you can get help.
If someone is in immediate danger
If you, or someone you know, are at immediate risk of harming themselves or others, then please ring 999.
For other crisis situations
The first step in getting help can often be speaking to your GP. All GP surgeries will have a 'duty GP' to deal with emergencies, and you can contact the surgery to make an emergency appointment to see them or speak to them on the phone. Outside of normal working hours, you can access the out-of-hours GP service by ringing 111.
If you, or the person you're concerned about, is already in contact with NHS mental health services, then you should have a care plan which outlines what to do in a crisis. This might be to contact your GP or the Adult Mental Health Team that supports you. For contact details for the local mental health services click here to visit the Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust website.
Someone to talk to
The Samaritans offer emotional support and a listening ear 24 hours a day, 365 days a year:
- 01865 722122

Elefriends is an online, supportive community provided by national Mind:
Signposting and information
The Oxfordshire Mind Information Line can signpost you to local mental health services. Our line is open Mondays to Fridays, 9.30am to 4.30pm (closed Bank Holidays).
Oxfordshire County Council has information on services and support for people with mental health needs and their carers.
If you are worried that a friend or relative will not seek help for a mental health problem, Mind nationally publishes some helpful guidance as well as information about mental health problems. If you are thinking of calling the Information Line this is a good place to start.
Options Sessions
When you are looking for support or wish to access Oxfordshire Mind's services, we start with an Options session with a Wellbeing Service Worker to discuss your mental health and wellbeing, and help you to find the right support. Visit our Information Service page for more information and to request a call-back to book an Options Session.

Virtual Rock Band Corresponds With Fans Via Text Messaging
EMI Group PLC in Singapore is promoting a rock band whose members don't exist and whose album sales it doesn't care all that much about.
The reason? The record label is trying to achieve something that no company has pulled off: Turning the mobile phone into a powerful personal marketing tool that lets businesses dialogue directly with their customers.

It's been a couple of weeks since we last posted on the ThinkInk blog, not because we've had nothing to say but because we've been crazy busy. Summer is usually a time when a lot of businesses wind down, but it's been the opposite around here.
New people, new clients and lots of new ideas…stay tuned for more on that but, in the meantime, we have a lot to say about last weekend's announcement of the Omnicom-Publicis merger.
You know corporate news is serious when two things happen: the story breaks sometime between 5pm on Friday and 7am on Monday (slowing down media response and giving in-house spin doctors time to go into information-management mode) OR if said news is lampooned by comedians.
In the case of advertising agencies Omnicom Group, based in Manhattan, and Publicis Groupe SA, based in Paris, both have occurred. Last Sunday, in a lovely photo-op embrace, the agencies' head chiefs announced the intended merger, valued at $35 billion. Meanwhile, a July 29 headline in The Onion read: "Merger of Advertising Giants Brings Together Largest Collection Of People With No Discernible Skills."
Gibe aside, a merger of this magnitude is no laughing matter. If approved, it will have a profound impact on the advertising industry – and far beyond. Whether the fallout is "good" or "bad," however, is up for debate.
Camp A: Spooked
On one side is the "spooked" camp, with words like "monopoly," "behemoth," and "stifled competition" on the tips of its members' tongues. Considering that the new company (will it be called Publiomnicomis?!) will have spent a combined $3.31 billion in media placements during 2012 accounting for nearly half of the world's top 10 media agencies' efforts, it's more than a fair concern and one that I appreciate.
Camp B: Rosy-Eyed
Then there's the other camp, those who see opportunity – an opportunity for smaller firms to capture new business as some disgruntled clients flee, industry pricing/digital ad value and KPI standardization, as well as increased resources to acquire, manipulate and act on big data. The latter point will help adland better compete against Silicon Valley natives like Google, Facebook, Salesforce and Adobe, among many others.
Camp C: Vanessa
My camp falls somewhere in the middle. If the proposed mega-company survives the scrutiny of both US and French regulators, the bigger question becomes "what type of precedent does Publicis Omnicom's soon-to-be-existence establish?" Just as the airline, automobile, entertainment and pharmaceutical industries have endured mergers and acquisitions for decades, what will the advertising landscape look like in five or ten years? Will there be room for corporate and creative independence or will the specialized firms of today, like ThinkInk, be relics of a bygone era?
I really don't know. Some 46 countries must ultimately give their blessing and the final merger may not be complete until early 2014. So there is lots of time for positing and pontification.
But don't let your head and screen be your own echo chambers. Share your views with the ThinkInk community: do you think the advertising world will embrace this new corporate marriage or will it leave executives across the media landscape po'd and just plain scared?

Standing at the curb on a recent sunny afternoon in Davidson, Junious Ward repeatedly looked right, then left, in an effort to cross Main Street.
Despite a break in traffic, Ward went to the crosswalk, bypassing an opportunity to jaywalk for a more conventional path.
Ward's writings don't usually show that conformity; the Davidson poet's resume includes "Life Power Soul - A Compilation of Poetry and Spoken Word," his first book of poetry.
His free-flowing style does not follow straight lines. "I'm a believer that any kind of art form should be in the moment," Ward said. "Raw emotion."
Influenced by 1980s hip-hop lyrics and spoken free verse, Ward is discovering his "Life Power Soul."
"As any kind of artist, you have power, you have influence. Your work is usually about your life," Ward said. "The soul part is, if you can move people with what you write or paint or draw, that's power in the art itself.
"I love writing. A lot of it is enjoyment of doing it. Commercial success, if it comes, is great, but I like to write."
Ward, a 35-year-old husband and father of three, juggles his day job as project manager for Verizon with marketing his book, research on a black history sports book, songwriting, a sports blog and serving as host to a private poetry group.
His interests involve introducing younger generations to the "Life Power Soul" of the written word.
"Any kind of artistic expression will help kids in their lives: how to express themselves, how to appreciate art and culture of the world," he said. "That could be a big part of their education if it's taught right.
"One of the main goals I have right now is to influence more kids. I have a date in June to speak at Hofstra University to faculty and staff to figure out a way to get kids more involved."
Good luck, Ward was told when setting up the talk at Hofstra: There's a problem with getting kids involved in poetry.
When he asked what the problem was, he was told: Poetry does not include a joystick.
Despite that mindset, Ward said he will still try to make a connection through more traditional forms of expression.
"One of the tools I'm using is music," Ward said. "I want to take a cross-section of hip-hop music, soul, country and show the lyrics of good songs and how they relate to poetry, get them to understand that poetry is all around them."
Ward was born in Rich Square, a small town in eastern North Carolina, he said. He and his family - wife Tracey; children Andrea, 16, Michael, 14, and Naticia, 12; and mother-in-law Charlotte - settled in Davidson four years ago.
"We have a full house; we work real hard to keep things together," Ward said.
When asked how he wrote while living in a full house, Ward said, "They kind of know me by now, so if I need some space, they give it to me."
Are there other poets in the family?
"Our youngest," Ward said, beaming with pride. He said Naticia wrote a couple poems recently that are very good.
For Ward, influencing a younger generation on the value of verse is his "Life Power Soul."

The central aim of the Friends of Parkinsons Park is to ensure a well-maintained public 'landscape' park that honours its social, cultural and environmental heritage. Frank and Albert Parkinson (F & A Parkinson Ltd ) brought the land in 1936/37 and established a Park for the employees of Crompton Parkinson and the people of Guiseley: they saw themselves as "trustees' of their 'possessions", and determined to use them for the public good. This is the inheritance FOPP will continue. More on the History of the Park is here.
Friends of Parkinson's Park was formed in October 2011 to save the Park from degeneration, and vandalism. From 4th March 2016 they registered the group as a Community Interest Company Friends of Parkinson's Park CIC, incorporated under the Companies Act 2006 (Registration Number 10044868) and regulated by the Community Interest Company Regulator. A list of Directors of the Company is here.
The purpose of FOPP CIC and the Park is to continue the work of Frank and Albert Parkinson to enhance the quality of life for the residents of Aireborough:
- to provide a facility to improve physical and mental health
- to inspire personal growth,
- to act as a means for bringing people together.

On March 25, 1965, Martin Luther King, Jr. spoke to the largest civil rights demonstration in Southern history: more than 25,000 people at the capitol in Montgomery, Alabama, at the end of a 5-day voting rights march from Selma. King's analysis of the roots of racial segregation drew on C. Vann Woodward's The Strange Career of Jim Crow, first published by Oxford University Press in 1955. Woodward joined the Yale faculty in 1961. He was in Montgomery that day with other historians organized by John Hope Franklin to support the march.

Chapter: Follow Me, Set Me Free
I'm especially proud of how that middle panel turned out.
Note the Death Egg, Angel Island, Perfect Chaos, and Crisis City in the background.
But yeah – this comic is basically my response to everyone who hates on Sonic Generations for irrational reasons. Sadly, as we all know, the Internet attempts to be immune to logic.
Also, I will concede that my argument omits all the handheld sidescroller games of late, like Sonic Rush or even the Game Gear games. But I specifically said "CONSOLE" games – if anything the 3DS version should be honoring those sidescrollers (which it doesn't seem to be doing).
Which naturally blows, because Nack the Weasel/Fang the Sniper and all.

A program of the Center for Inquiry
The following article is from the Secular Humanist Bulletin, Volume 25, Number 1 (Spring 2009).
I have seen the future, and it contains a battle among sociologists over the fast-growing minority of Americans who list their religious affiliation as "none." At least the argument about whether this minority is growing is over. Now sociologists argue about what the 45,900,000 to 49,266,000 religiously unaffiliated Americans do—or don't—believe. Specifically, does the rapid growth in the ranks of the unaffiliated indicate similarly rapid growth in the ranks of the nonreligious—atheists, agnostics, secular humanists, freethinkers, and so on?
It doesn't if you listen to Rodney Stark, codirector of the Baylor Institute for Studies of Religion at Baylor University, a Baptist institution. He told one journalist that the religiously unaffiliated "tend to be unchurched, but they are believers and prayers." And yes, Dr. Stark will happily produce research results in which a significant number of atheists and agnostics hold religious beliefs and even pray. On the other hand, Dr. Stark also has research in which the percentage of Americans who are atheists or agnostics has barely moved since (hang on tight now) the 1940s.
Sociologists of religion and public-opinion pollsters are forming two camps. In an essay for the Washington Post online, I called the two camps "meerkats" and "ostriches." "Consider the meerkat, standing vigilant astride its burrow," I wrote. "Then the ostrich—well, everyone knows what ostriches do."
The meerkats have been tracking a marked rise in the number of religiously unaffiliated and unbelieving Americans since around 1990. First to note the phenomenon were Barry Kosmin and Ariela Keysar, then with the City University of New York, whose original American Religious Identification Survey (ARIS 1990) found a then-surprising 8.2 percent of respondents claiming no religious affiliation. When Kosmin and Keysar re-ran their study in 2001, that number had skyrocketed to 14.2 percent. Now based at Trinity College, they ran a third study last year: ARIS 2008 found that the number had edged yet higher, to 15 percent. Studies by the Pew Forum, Harris, and other organizations have shown similar results using a range of methodologies. A 2004 study by Pew and the University of Akron found the highest number yet recorded: 16.1 percent unaffiliated. (Thus the figures 45,900,000 and 49,266,000 I threw around above. The smaller figure represents ARIS 2008's 15 percent of all Americans and the larger one Pew/Akron's 16.1 percent.)
The ostrich camp is smaller: it consists essentially of the Baylor Institute for Studies of Religion and its director, Rodney Stark. You may recognize the name: Stark has authored best sellers analyzing how Christianity spread under the Roman Empire, why America is so much more religious than Europe, etc. (Thanks to Stark, most people you encounter at cocktail parties believe that American religion is so robust because unlike those European countries with their state churches, America has a free market in religious ideas, hence invigorating competition among sects and congregations. Never mind that professional sociologists discredited that theory starting around 2003.) Stark and his Baylor collaborators have conducted their own series of studies of American religion in conjunction with the Gallup Organization; some of this work has been funded by (three guesses) the John Templeton Foundation. Instead of issuing a stuffy research report, Stark reported his group's latest findings in a book, What Americans Really Believe. In its pages you will find those claims about unbelievers who pray and atheism not growing since the 1940s—alongside "proof" that over the same period, belief in God has held rock-steady at nearly 90 percent.
The Baylor group's methodology is, to say the least, questionable. In fact, the Council for Secular Humanism has released a research paper by independent scholar and frequent Free Inquiry writer Gregory S. Paul that dissects this research in vast detail. I can give you only a taste here. In order to show that atheism was not growing, Baylor workers handpicked Gallup polls from the forties and fifties and lumped those merely unsure God existed in with the atheists. That way they could boost the percentage of atheists back then. They used other methods to minimize the percentage of atheists in later studies. Plot these mutually incompatible data points on a graph, and presto: the percentage of atheists does not grow over time.
But back to our main question: granted that the population of religiously unaffiliated Americans is way up, does that tell us anything about the number of actual unbelievers? Rodney Stark will take his head out of the sand long enough to say no, and he has numbers to prove it (depending on your definition of "proof"). Unfortunately for Dr. Stark, the meerkats (which is to say, almost everyone in the field who doesn't work at Baylor University) have relevant—and far more impressive—data of their own.
That 2004 Pew/Akron study analyzed the 16.1 percent of its respondents who were unaffiliated in considerable detail. About two-thirds of them emerged as atheists, agnostics, or "hard seculars" whose stated beliefs and lifestyles left no room for religion. The merely unchurched and spiritually searching—the folks Rodney Stark would have you believe predominate among the unaffiliated —made up only a third. As for ARIS 2008, though Kosmin and Keysar found only a small percentage of declared atheists and agnostics (1.6 percent), a whopping 12 percent of their respondents qualified as atheists or agnostics based on their stated beliefs, though they didn't embrace the labels. Another 12 percent held beliefs that qualified them as deists: that is, they believe in a vague higher power but not in a personal God. Let's see: 1.6 percent plus 12 percent plus 12 percent—that's 25.6 percent. In other words, there are more atheists, agnostics, and deists than there are religiously unaffiliated Americans!
With that, I guess I owe Rodney Stark a small apology. If not quite in the way his data shows, yes, some number of American atheists, agnostics, or deists (specifically, 32,436,000 of them) state a denominational affiliation. I suppose some of them go to church, and who knows? Maybe a few of them pray.
But I'm going to reserve judgment until these folks show up in some meerkat's numbers.

We went through about 10 IUI's and 3 IVF's to no avail. Then one day we heard Dr. Braverman on the radio and said we have nothing to lose in trying another doctor. He was very charming and very knowledged in what he does. We tried an IVF right away and got pregnant but lost the pregnancy very early due to a clotting problem which Dr. Braverman found out through various bloodwork. We tried again and got pregnant with the help of therapy along with the IVF. Our little boy was born at 28 weeks at 2lbs. and 15oz. He was an absolute godsend and Dr. Braverman coudln't of done a better job. We highly recommend anyone considering reproductive immunology. We would like to thank Dr. Braverman and his staff.

Travis and his crew gutted and did a complete remodel on our two bedroom, two bath condo. We are beyond thrilled with the final results. Travis was very prompt responding to our request for a meeting and an estimate. He finished this project on time and on budget. We loved that he was on the job every day from the day he began until they were completely finished. They did an expert job on everything from the demolition, the framing, the dry wall, the painting, the flooring and tiling. When Travis called in subcontractors he made sure they were the best and was there to supervise. While many of our friends had horror stories to tell about their experiences with other contractors, working with Travis was the best. We are telling everyone we know what a great job Titan Home Improvements did for us.

This is a repeat of the review I posted on yelp. I had contacted Travis through the Titan Home improvement website to get a quote on various things I wanted to get done around the house. After some very curt email exchanges (should have gotten the clue that He was not serious or interested then), We decided to meet at said time. I moved things around at work so I could meet him in the middle of the day. I show up on time and there is no sign of him. I wait around for 20 minutes and then googled up his number (yeah, he never furnished his phone number in the emails although I had given him mine). He picked up his phone after 3/4 attempts and casually mentioned He was in Best buy and We had to re-schedule. What the H***? He doesn't have the professionalism to show up as promised, nor the decency to call if He cannot, even though I confirmed with him that morning about the appointment. Unless you like to be stood up by someone that doesn't care for your business or any regards for your time, run away......and find someone that actually wants your business !!

i am sorry you are upset and can not understand like i told you on the phone the reason i was at best buy is because my phone was not work this is why i was not able to answer the first you had called because it was down and also the reason i was not able to call you perhaps you should be a little more understanding as i had no way to communicate with you.

We had been let down by the previous contractor working on our house (since November 2012, I'm not kidding you) and were in need of help in getting our kitchen and powder room finally finished ASAP! I found Titan Home Improvements on Kudzu and I'm so glad I did. Travis did an amazing job installing a beautiful tile floor in our powder room. Originally he quoted us for a herringbone tile pattern, but I informed him the night before he started the job that the tile we were going to buy was no longer available and we had to buy a different (but in the end much prettier) tile in a versailles pattern. Some contractors would get irritated at the last minute change, but not Travis! He also reset the toilet and installed a vanity (which was a last minute add on that he was so nice to do and with a smile). In the kitchen, he installed 3 pendants, 1 chandelier, a range hood, a cooktop, 2 wall ovens, 4 A/C registers, 6 outlets, 8 trim kits for our recessed lighting, and a dimmer switch. He ran into a hiccup because the electrician that did the rough in work left us some mysteries to solve, but Travis pulled through and contacted a buddy to troubleshoot the issue and what could have been a nightmare for us was quickly resolved. Travis did everything necessary to make the kitchen and powder room functional and beautiful for us again. He's in my phone contacts forever now and will be calling him promptly whenever I need his services.

We hired Travis to do several things to get a house ready to sell. He and Paul painted the entire house both inside and outside, installed some overhead light fixtures, fixed several plumbing problems, replaced the patio ceiling, and repaired several other miscellaneous items. After seeing his excellent work on that house, we hired him to remodel part of our own home. He installed cabinets in the pantry, installed new doors and baseboards, replaced both indoor and outdoor light fixtures, repaired drywall, and replaced many electrical switches and plug sockets. Travis is honest, prompt and charges a fair price. I'm sure we caused him many headaches due to several changes we made during the remodel, but he never gave any indication of it. My sister has now used him to repair several things at her home.

After meeting with and getting quotes from 4 licensed contractors, we went with Travis. We had a good feeling about him from the start and it turned out he did not disappoint. He showed up exactly when he said he would each day and kept us informed of anything that came up in the remodels. He was neat, respectful and most importantly a detail oriented, skilled craftsman. He completely tore out and remodeled two bathrooms from top to bottom. He was dealing with bathrooms that had been remodeled by the past homeowner so he had to fix bowed walls, bad drywall, move a drain, tear out concrete boards and tile etc. He finished on time and on budget. The bathrooms turned out amazing. As our daughter put it, "they look like out of a magazine". We also had him install a new water heater which went smoothly as well. We plan to use him to install a new irrigation system for our yard in the future, after finding out he does that type of work too. We have found our go to contractor and sincerely hope he never moves or leaves the field because it is truly hard to find a reasonable, high quality, reliable contractor.

Travis and Paul painted the exterior of our home and I have to say we now have the nicest looking house on the block! Travis reviewed the color choices we narrowed down too, gave us his advice on the tints and how it would actually look in the sun, and he was spot on! Very professional team, on time, great value for the price! I also had them wire up my 60gal air compressor in my garage. They kept the install very clean and added an outlet to the outside of the home. Wife and I already have plans to have them back for more projects!!! Thanks again guys!

Travis and Titan Home Improvements have always been there for us. Always reachable, making time for emergency type situations (broken water heater, fried circuit in breaker box, etc). And has been great for our other house projects. Most recently we moved into a new house, and I gave Travis a long list of work to do. Then I added to it every day. He was great - he adapted to whatever was going on, whatever became the priority for me. There were dozens of items - painting, plumbing, wiring, clogs, drywall, etc. Even lots of random items that he hooked up for us, like getting the built-in grill working - he had to track down some pretty random parts, which he managed to find and get that sucker working! Big-time bonus. He also recommended some really cool touches, like a timer switch for the front lights. There were lots of things that needed minor tweaks that I didn't even realize, all of which he took care of. All in all, the house is in great shape and we can't thank him enough. Highly recommend.

Garage insulation panels, which he's a whiz at putting in incredibly neatly - the garage door repairman actually commented on them!

It was time to remodel so I did my research and found Titan Home Improvements. They started in the kitchen and worked their way upstairs to the master bath. Travis and Paul are both honest and reliable. They arrive on time and follow through on their word . Their rates are reasonable and they are easy to work with. I couldn't be more pleased with the quality of their workmanship. My kitchen and bath are gorgeous! I have recommended them to my family and neighbors.

IGP Postcard from Russia:
Takeaways from Russia's "Summer Davos" –
The 2016 St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF)
Kesarev Consulting, a member of the Interel Global Partnership (IGP), and Interel participated in Russia's flagship economic forum in St. Petersburg on June 16-18. The SPIEF is an annual event that attracts global government and business leaders for three days of discussions and deal-making. Here's our report from the city of the midnight summer sun:
Signs of Economic Rapprochement with Russia?
After two years of economic sanctions, the forum – which attracted 12,000 participants from 133 countries according to its newly unveiled international conference center – showed signs of re-emerging engagement between Russia and international business community.
Some of the high-level international attendees included EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker (whose last-minute decision to attend ruffled political feathers in Brussels), Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, and former French President Nicolas Sarkozy. (Juncker's remarks here.)
China and India were well-represented and hosted special side-line events and a long list of growth markets – including Iran – sent high-level government delegations.
Global businesses were warmer to the northern forum this year with more than 300 foreign C-suite executives and board members in attendance, including CEOs from the oil majors Exxon, Shell, Total and BP; global Chinese companies Alibaba and Huawei; European food companies Nestlé and Danone; and international consultancies McKinsey and PWC (click here for a full list of C-suite participants).
It was also rumored that many U.S. and European multinationals "unofficially" attended the forum under the political radar to meet with Russian government officials in restaurants and hotel lobbies in town, while telling their home country governments they did not "officially" participate in order to keep in good grace.
According to organizers of SPIEF, investment and trade deals concluded at the forum totaled $15 billion, with $1.3 billion specifically in agreements between Russian and Italian businesses (including a major contract between Rosneft and Italian ship builder Fincatieri).
Looking west, but staring east
The eastward-facing head of Russia's double-headed eagle set a heavy gaze this year with an increased focus on business relations with Asia. In fact, the attention to China was immediately noticeable at St. Petersburg's international airport where the flight arrivals and departures board alternated between screens of Russian, English, and Chinese.
Jack Ma of Alibaba was the headlining participant from China. Driven by a traditionally robust consumer culture and tech savvy population, Russia's e-commerce market is currently estimated at valued at $10 billion. This growing market makes Russia particularly appealing e-commerce companies in China, which is the already the source of 80% of its cross-border parcels.
Several sessions in the program were dedicated to China, including a day 2 discussion on "Transforming the Chinese Economic Model" which focused on strategies to stimulate economic growth policies and the future of Russian-Chinese economic ties. Strengthening infrastructure links between the two countries including roads (OBOR – "One Belt, One Road") and pipelines (adding a second line to the ESPO – East Siberia-Pacific Ocean – to deliver an estimated $270 billion worth of crude of the next 25 years) was another key topic of Russian-Chinese cooperation.
However, one of the biggest announcements was Putin's proposal at the forum to China and India to partner with the fledgling Eurasian Economic Union (EEU), a single economic space comparable to the EU which consists of Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia and Belarus.
Although to critics the EEU expansion proposal seemed rhetorical, the announcement at SPIEF was immediately followed by Putin's subsequent state visit to China to meet Xi Jinping, and the visit of both leaders to Tashkent, Uzbekistan, for the summit of the expanding Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) at which India and Pakistan were officially admitted.
Two other notable oriental events at SPIEF came in the form of an official delegation from Iran to the forum, and open discussions of offering a 19.5% stake in Rosneft to China and India.
Wither Sanctions?
While there was noticeable "sanction fatigue" amongst attending Russian and foreign businessmen, there also seemed to be a sober acceptance of working in the "new reality" and that the current sanctions will not be lifted anytime soon.
At the same time, Putin's remarks at the SPIEF plenary struck a more conciliatory tone and expressed a desire to resolve differences with the EU and build a new focus on cooperation. There were also signs of longer term optimism from Western executives who, by their very presence (official or unofficial), demonstrated continued interest in Russia and who also seemed to share – off the record – the opinion that the sanctions will not be in place forever. It was clear that to them, being well-positioned in advance of the sanctions being lifted will undoubtedly be an advantage.
IGP Tips for Public Affairs in Russia:
Even with the current sanctions, a majority of Fortune 500 companies continue to do business – and do well – in Russia. A good public affairs strategy is key to their success. Here are our 5 tips on public affairs in this dynamic market:
- Be proactive about stakeholder mapping and engagement. Russia is an 'economy of relationships', and investing in them wisely yields long-term benefit.
- Work with associations and business chambers. While it's important to maintain bilateral relations with key government officials and other stakeholders, business association voices are respected and heard in Russia – and are often a better option than direct lobbying. Not being engaged with key associations may make your business the odd man out and a target if unlucky.
- Be sure to focus on engagement beyond Moscow and build local ties with regional and municipal officials. Russia is an enormous country of 11 time zones. Working in Moscow to solve a problem in Russia's far east will not be effective.
- Do not overlook opportunities in CSR to build good will with national and local governments. The Russian government puts a heavy focus on social development programs and is often open to private sector collaboration.
