We Are All Connected
Electronic musician John Boswell's project The Symphony of Science sets scientific knowledge to music, exploring our relationship with one another and with the universe.
Combining his love of science and music, musician John Boswell uses the audio processor Auto-Tune to sample lectures, television shows, and interviews with scientists.
In "We Are All Connected," Boswell remixes the words of Carl Sagan, Richard Feynman, Bill Nye, and Neil deGrasse Tyson with music and images from sources including Powers of Ten, Stephen Hawking's Universe, and Cosmos. It is one of four videos in the Symphony of Science project, which combines scientific knowledge and philosophy with music. His first video, "A Glorious Dawn," went viral on YouTube in the fall of 2009.
Neil deGrasse Tyson:
We are all connected;
To each other, biologically
To the earth, chemically
To the rest of the universe atomically
- Richard Feynman:
I think nature's imagination
Is so much greater than man's
She's never going to let us relax
- Carl Sagan
We live in an in-between universe
Where things change all right
But according to patterns, rules,
Or as we call them, laws of nature
- Bill Nye:
I'm this guy standing on a planet
Really I'm just a speck
Compared with a star, the planet is just another speck
To think about all of this
To think about the vast emptiness of space
There's billions and billions of stars
Billions and billions of specks
- Carl Sagan:
The beauty of a living thing is not the atoms that go into it
But the way those atoms are put together
The cosmos is also within us
We're made of star stuff
We are a way for the cosmos to know itself
Across the sea of space
The stars are other suns
We have traveled this way before
And there is much to be learned
I find it elevating and exhilarating
To discover that we live in a universe
Which permits the evolution of molecular machines
As intricate and subtle as we
- Neil deGrasse Tyson:
I know that the molecules in my body are traceable
To phenomena in the cosmos
That makes me want to grab people in the street
And say, have you heard this??
- Richard Feynman:
There's this tremendous mess
Of waves all over in space
Which is the light bouncing around the room
And going from one thing to the other
And it's all really there
But you gotta stop and think about it
About the complexity to really get the pleasure
And it's all really there
The inconceivable nature of nature

Gilbert was born on January 22, 1921, in Lincoln Township, Iowa, the son of Julius & Marie (Ohrt) Niedermann. He grew up in Dinsdale and attended school there. In 1943, Gilbert enlisted in the U.S. Army, serving in the Pacific until 1946.

Fields, The (UK - DVD R2)
Marcus wanders through the cornfields waiting to get scared by Tara Reid...
The Fields is a psychological thriller based on true events that occurred in the fall of 1973... sort of. It's a story of young boy, Steven (Joshua Ormond) who stays on his grandparent's small farm while his parent sort out their problems. After venturing into the cornfields (despite being told not to), a mysterious presence begins to threaten the family. The "based on true events" part is that there is media coverage of the Charles Manson murders and they are weighing on the small boy's mind. So "based on true events" is loose at best but the false advertising doesn't stop there.
The flashy lenticular cover with the the hooded figures making their way through the cornfields is a crock of shit really. This movie is about mood and the threat is largely unseen. There's a question as to is the boy generating this menace as he deals with the horror he's watching on the news but even that is down to personal assumption The Fields is largely a thriller but for most of the runtime is actually a drama, albeit one that feels a bit scary and odd.
For all of its let downs (mainly iffy acting a lot of the time) The Fields is well paced. The pay off is pretty lousy but directors Tom Mattera and David Mazzoni are good at holding onto their audience with their grasp of tension and suspense and I appluad them for not explaining every little detail as the film travels in to ever more weird territory.
Wrapping up, those wondering how Tara Reid plays in this flick and in a genre outside of what we know her for to boot, well about ten minutes of screen time doesn't really warrant her name on the box art. She's giving it a go and she's pushing to show her emotions but don't be expecting a miracle here guys. She's kept to a minimum and it's probably a good thing.
Shot digitally (what low budget horror isn't nowadays), colours are a little odd, bordering on being a little too warm and a little bit off in places. There's an abundance of beige and brown tinted colouring and that pattern continues throughout. That said, textures are very good, as is detail in general. Clothing, wrinkles, set dressing, the natural lighting lends itself to the overcast look and low budget of the film, even if the colouring is a tad on the dark side.
The image isn't particularly sharp but the digital photography helps it outreach the usual low budget visuals that can come with the genre. Once in the cornfields, colours boost with blues and greens glowing off the screen nicely. It's an okay looking film for the limitations but it still has that cheap air to it.
The opening title sequence attempts to overbear with sound and everything is off to a good start. Slow building score and the cracking of corn fields and crickets all building an unsettling mood to get us going. Dialogue is crisp and central with atmospheric sounds such as muffled voices from downstairs sounding a little too clear sometimes and having a slight echo to them. The score rumbles along throughout, often adding depth with weighty bass and sometimes managing not to sound as synthy as it actually is.
As well as colour boosts, the corn field scenes brings heightened audio. Crickets chirp away and grow which each creaking step through the corn. Flies buzz, birds chirp. Its all build, build, build with the score supporting the mood. More than 50% of what works in The Fields is the sound and without it this flick really could have fallen flat.
The disc opens with a trailer for The Shrine and that's your lot.
The Fields has something about it and it's mainly in the mood department. It's hard to recommend because nothing all that interesting really happens but it felt slicker than a lot of low budget horror/thrillers despite the fact nothing really pays off after the well handled build ups. Video and audio are good, there's no extras and really there's no real hook or highlight to hype up. The Fields is maybe a good hint that something better might come from the directors down the line but it's too early to pin hopes on that really.

Ok, this isn't a take-off on a previous discussion, here. It's just that I'm really beginning to get a bit concerned. It seems to be in style these days to declare that one does not want children, and quite frankly, I'm finding it rather depressing. I've always wanted to get married and have a family, and it seems my chances are getting steadily thinner. There just seems to be so much hostility around; merely mentioning that you want kids is liable in most places to get you nasty comments, which, ironically enough, usually come from women who themselves have children. A nice bit of hypocrisy, there, if you appreciate that sort of thing.
I'm really hoping that this anti-child attitude is the exception rather than the rule among women today. It is, isn't it? Anyone?
Views: 1326
FYI, people *should* ask women that question. Anyone who wants to have children should have to answer if they can emotionally, physically, and financially provide for them. People should critically examine if they can provide for children when they decide to have them. However, because the desire to have children is inherently an emotional rather than rational decision, people rarely stop to think about it.
Also, is there a reason you're resorting to name calling?
Yes, I'm calling a spade a spade. When you stop attacking, I'll stop saying that you're attacking.
It's interesting that not once in all this have you ever actually addressed the question I originally posted. Everything has just been a criticism of my choices.
As to your proposed question: It sounds good, but the problem is that no one can ever completely predict what will happen 5, 10, 15 or 30 years from now. You can plan really well, and unpredictable things can still happen. I agree with you that it would be great if everyone thought about things BEFORE having kids but most don't.
However, *I* have. I'm healthy, have an excellent income, a home that's paid off, and in general, am in a very good position to have and raise children. Certainly a lot better than if I was 22 and just starting out.
How about you? Did you plan your kids beforehand? Did you wait until your were financially prepared for them? (Honest question, here.)
I really don't understand why you are so angry that someone else would want children. Didn't YOU want children?
My goodness. It seems you aren't even bothering to differentiate between the people you're arguing with anymore. You're just mindlessly lashing out at any and everyone.
I have no children and want no children. I do, however, have a kitten who I very thoroughly planned for and knew I could support. He's absolutely adorable, even if he does have a penchant for jumping up on the kitchen counter and on top of my PC.
My apologies, I must indeed have gotten mixed up on that one.
Very well, I will modify my response:
I really don't understand why you are so angry that someone else would want children. You seem utterly incensed that I would want to have a family. Do you walk around lashing out at everyone you see who is pushing a baby carriage? No? Then why are you so critical of me for wanting such a normal thing?
I'm hardly angry that anyone wants children, so I've not a clue where you're even getting that from. I do think it's absolutely irresponsible to have children when you're unable to provide from them, though. I don't see how that's an angry position at all, only a reasonable and rational one.
What I'm angry about are the assumptions you made when broaching this topic. Whether or not you intended to, you came off as quite offensive. You made a women's reproductive choice seem like a personal offense to you and a detriment to society. The fact that you used the word "hostility" when describing women who expressed a desire to not have children, and then went on to describe women who didn't want more children as hypocrites set the tone as entirely antagonistic without question.
Go back and consider what you wrote with an unbiased eye and then you'll understand why you're getting the response you are.
Once again, you are deliberately mis-stating everything I said, in an apparent effort to make it look wrong.
I used the word 'hostility' when describing someone who was being critical of my desire to have children. Whether they themselves had children or not was not the issue.
I described as 'hypocritical' women who have children themselves, yet criticize other people who make the same choice. That IS hypocrisy.
If you (or anyone else) doesn't want children is fine by me. Just stop attacking me for not agreeing with you!
It's pretty obvious that I'm getting these responses from you because you were itching to pick a fight. Please note that the one person who simply stated a preference, and did not attack mine, got no argument. You did, because you chose to find fault with my preferences.
I misread your post. I thought you said something about many women already have children are angry at the mention of having children and they do not wish to have anymore. I was giving a reason to why they don't want to have anymore children. But...that wasn't even your question. Sheesh. My bad.
Depending on how you're going about announcing you want the wife and kids part of marriage, I might see where you're getting nasty comments. After all, if you're assuming the kids part comes with the marriage part, well... have you considered adoption as a single parent if you're really wanting to have kids that badly?
See, declining birth rates might just correspond to women having more options than just being the de facto home/baby maker. While I'm not trying to be antagonistic in pointing this out, women really do have a lot more to do these days. Women are more educated, more career driven, and are able to plan a life apart from depending on a man to be the breadwinner (or even co-breadwinner). Once you leave behind the biblical imperative to go forth, multiply, and submit to the head of your household, I'm sure it's a much bigger challenge to find someone who just blindly wants children without considering the implications.
I, personally, have no desire to have children. I have a home to maintain, a career to pursue, and find value in my life in a myriad of other ways. I know that children are a huge obligation and expense. For me (someone who values being rational and reasonable) having children does not make sense. I have no biological imperative screaming at me to pass along my genes. I take responsibility for my own birth control to make sure that I don't inadvertently get pregnant. Should I ever make the decision to become a parent, I would likely adopt. I'm observant enough to see what motherhood has done to those around me, both successful and otherwise. While I know many mothers who wouldn't trade their children for anything, I also see many mothers who are stressed, financially strapped, and who struggle with a feeling of being trapped by the circumstance of having children.
So, if you have the real desire and means to become a parent, embrace it. Adopt. There are so many children who need homes and support that you could make a real difference. However, if this is just about being a "manly/real man" and passing on your genes, I would re-evaluate your position.
You have completely missed the point.
First of all, adoption is not an option for single men. Adoption agencies are free to write their own rules, and can discriminate on any basis they care to, and single men are simply not allowed to adopt. At all. I know, I checked. The agency simply states that it's "in the best interests of the child", and that is that.
Second, your response completely ignores everything I said, and is not helpful. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the desire to have children, and it has nothing to do with "being manly", as most women feel the same way.
Adoption is not an option for single men:
A quick Google search indicated that there are currently no legal issues with singles of either gender adopting. Adoption does not occur only through an agency. Now, perhaps the cultural mindset is changing and this has been the case since you last pursued the issue, but it seems that I can think of several notable adoptive parents (granted this is all pop culture periphery on my part) who happened to be both male and single.
Quite frankly, I'm not convinced you're not trolling. You seem to discount everyone who doesn't agree with you. You approach (I'm assuming) women for their input on your question, which, intended or not, came off as rather abrasive. You essentially wave a red flag and go "WIMMINS, Y U NO WANT BABY?" (hyperbole, but I'm striving to make a point).
A more constructive way to have a conversation would be this:
It seems that the cultural emphasis on child bearing is diminishing. As someone who would like to, at some point, get married and have a family, what are some of the issues that are impacting women today and the choices they might make when considering to have children?
As it stands, I'm somehow not shocked women aren't lined up to take you up on your offer.
I said nothing about LEGAL issues. Adoption agencies may write their own rules in this case; they can arbitrarily disqualify anyone, for any reason, or none at all. I'm not going to spend hours arguing with you, it's their rule, not mine, and I'm not defending it.
You aren't disagreeing with me, nor are you agreeing - you're simply attacking me, and criticizing. Please stop.
I was seeking either some encouragement, sympathy, helpful suggestions or at least validation. Instead, it's been all personal attacks, hostility, criticism, snide remarks and snotty comments.
Take this as you will: I was trying to explain to you that your approach has been exactly what you're accusing everyone else of doing. While none of the responses to you (save my last) have been in the least deliberately antagonistic, you've played the victim at every turn and downplayed every response.
Let me interpret what your reply came across as:
"I was seeking either some encouragement, sympathy, helpful suggestions or at least validation."
Translation: I wanted someone to say what I wanted to hear.
Sorry, it just doesn't work like that. If you want to have a discussion with women about why we may not want to have kids, try approaching us in a far less antagonistic manner and be willing to listen to what we say.

But just wait until you catch your first glimpse of sunrise over the Asian Steppe. There's no other view on Earth quite like it: mile after mile of rolling grassy tundra, dotted with white-domed Gers and broken up with golden dunes or the craggy peaks of Tavan Bogd. It's probably no surprise that our Mongolia tours are all about the wilderness – soaking in the hot springs of Tsenkher or riding camels through the Khogno Khan Mountains – but you'll find there's more to this country than just good views.

There is no visa on arrival in Mongolia at land or air borders.
Most embassies do not require a LOI. However, should you be required to present one with your visa application please contact us. There may be a fee for this service. In order for us to provide a LOI through our local partners we will require a clear, colour scan of your passport along with an indication of at which embassy you will be applying for your visa.

Tipping isn't a local custom in Mongolia; however, the bars and cafes of Ulaanbaatar are used to receiving tips from tourists. Use your discretion and tip if you feel like it.
Internet access is widely available in Ulaanbaatar. Some cafes and coffee houses have Wi-Fi, while many hotels and guesthouses have internet connectivity. Internet availability is far less common outside of Ulaanbaatar, so expect no access when leaving the city.
Mobile phone coverage is generally good in Mongolia, although coverage may be patchy in remote or mountainous areas.
Flushable, European-style toilets are common in the hotels and restaurants of Ulaanbaatar. Throughout the rest of the country, squat toilets are the standard, with the exception of some ger camps and homestays, where toilets may be simple holes in the ground. Please be aware that, in most cases, soap and toilet paper aren't provided, so make sure you come prepared.
Can of beer = 1500 MNT
Simple meal in a local restaurant = 4000 MNT
Dinner at an international restaurant = 10,000 MNT
Drinking tap water isn't recommended in Mongolia. For environmental reasons, try to avoid buying bottled water. Fill a reusable water bottle or canteen with filtered water. Ask your leader where filtered water can be found. It's also advisable to avoid ice in drinks and to peel fruit and vegetables before eating.
Major credit cards are usually accepted by most large hotels and restaurants in Ulaanbaatar and other large cities, however smaller establishments may not have credit card facilities. Ensure you have other payment options when visiting small shops and markets, and when travelling through rural areas.
Travellers can access ATMs in Ulaanbaatar; however, rural regions run on a cash economy, so prepare for this when leaving the city.
Absolutely. All passengers travelling with Intrepid are required to purchase travel insurance before the start of their trip. Your travel insurance details will be recorded by your leader on the first day of the trip. Due to the varying nature, availability and cost of health care around the world, travel insurance is very much an essential and necessary part of every journey.

3. Before entering a place of worship, ask permission, remove your shoes and cover your shoulders with a jacket or wrap.
4. For environmental reasons, try to avoid buying bottled water. Fill a reusable water bottle or canteen with filtered water instead.
5. Always dispose of litter thoughtfully, including cigarette butts.
6. When bargaining at markets, stay calm, be reasonable and keep a smile on your face. It's meant to be fun!
7. Learn some local language and don't be afraid to use it - simple greetings will help break the ice.
8. Shop for locally made products. Supporting local artisans helps keep traditional crafts alive.
9. Refrain from supporting businesses that exploit or abuse endangered animals.
10. Please ask and receive permission before taking photos of people, including children.
11. When on community visits or homestays, refrain from giving gifts or money to locals.

Submitted: 02/08/2013
Three Lakes
- Figuring out how to make a living can be hard. The Three Lake School District tried to helped students make that decision today.Twenty-nine expert speakers came to give students their professional advice.District Guidance Director Gene Welhoefer makes a living by giving students a direction. He's worked since last February to make this a special day for his kids."An activity like this gives them the first hand knowlege of people who are in career fields. They're in small groups they get to ask questions they would not ask if there were twenty kids in the room. And the people coming in are experts." Culinary Arts is Senior Bridgette Schmitt's dream job. She's glad to have a school that makes career planning a top priority."That's something my life and my work experience in the community and also the school has helped me to decide. And the career fair as well, because they've had speakers, business owners, restuant owners. A lot of the tourism around here is definitely the hospitality industry."One of the Career Day's speakers was our very own Ryan Michaels. He had the opportunity to teach kids about both Meteorology and news reporting.

Wanted Man Nabbed by Police After Being Spotted in McDonald's Drive-Thru
A man described by police as armed and dangerous was taken into custody early Monday morning in Bangor.
Police on Sunday issued an advisory after 42-year-old Jason Trickett allegedly stole a vehicle and loaded gun from a home in Machiasport.
Police said they believed Trickett was heading for Bangor, specifically the First Street area, in search of drugs.
An observant citizen reported seeing Trickett early Monday morning in the missing vehicle in the McDonald's drive-thru on Broadway in Bangor, according to a release from the Bangor Police Department.
Bangor police were able to take him into custody around 5:30 a.m. without incident. Trickett was arrested on an active warrant related to the Machiasport case.
The vehicle's other occupant, Joshua White, 34, was arrested and charged with Operating After Suspension.
The Maine State Police are investigating the case from Machiasport and will determine any criminal charges to be filed against Trickett.
In Septermber, Trickett was found not guilty on charges he stabbed a Bangor man to death last year in a fight on First Street.

Getting to the Heart of Interfaith
They came together after 9/11—a Christian pastor, a Jewish rabbi, and a Muslim sheikh. They believe that in the face of today's immense global challenges, it is imperative that we work together to solve common problems. "It's a matter of our survival," they say, and thus begins the captivating story of their shared journey.
Beginning with the assumption that all major religious traditions are authentic and share important core values, the authors present what they believe are the five stages of genuine engagement with those of other faiths:
- Move beyond suspicion.
- Learn more about other traditions.
- Acknowledge the difficult parts of your own.
- Confront challenging topics.
- Share spiritual practices.
Fundamentally, this is a book about relationships. It is also both a call to action and a manual for success. We cannot take an interfaith journey simply by reading a book, not even this one. And we will not solve the big problems of this world alone. Instead, we must take up the mantle of this work in our own communities, never forgetting that "it's a matter of our survival."
- : Read an excerpt from the book.
- blog weekly at YES! Magazine.
- : The Interfaith Amigos, a rabbi, a minister, and an imam, brought together by 9/11 and what followed, discover new spiritual depths from their dialogue and friendship.

I own a 2002 Mitsubishi Diamante LS, which has served me well for close to 10 years. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for Mitsubishi service. While driving South on I-77 in Ohio, my car lost all power and would not restart. I was towed to Waikem Mitsubishi in Massillon, OH, where I spent roughly 6 hours waiting for repairs. After 6 hours, I was told that I simply had a bad battery and that it needed replaced, which they did and sent me on my way. 400 miles later, this time in the dark on I-77 in upstate North Carolina, the car lost power again. Driving, albeit briefly, with no headlights or dash lights is scary.
The next day, an Auto Zone correctly diagnosed my problem as an alternator issue, and I had the alternator replaced. The car drove without problems for 3 months until the low battery light warning started again. I had the problem diagnosed again, and it was identified as a cracked battery, causing corrosion and a bad connection. In short, not only did Waikem Mitsubishi's misdiagnosis of the problem nearly get me killed on the highway, they replaced my good battery with a bad one.
I contacted my local Mitsubishi dealership in Charleston, SC, and asked if they would honor a battery's warranty, since it was a Mitsubishi dealership who gave me the faulty battery in the first place. I was told that Charleston Mitsubishi would NOT replace my battery because it wasn't a Mitsubishi brand battery; it didn't have a Mitsubishi sticker on it.
All in all, Mitsubishi Customer Service has provided me with the most scary 45 seconds of my life while I drove in the dark with no lights desperate for the next exit to appear. The cause of this was a misdiagnosis of the car's power problem. They also created more headaches by causing me to have re-replace a battery they sold me, 4 months after getting it. Lastly, they elected not to make it right by fixing the situation because it wasn't "their" battery. While I have liked my car, I would NEVER purchase another Mitsubishi vehicle and will recommend to everyone I know that they don't either. The customer service is terrible.
I have had repeated problems with my 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse. Initially, I assumed these problems were a result of normal wear and tear. After my most recent defect I began investigating possible recalls for my vehicle. I found that several applied to the problems I was experiencing and contacted Mitsubishi so they could inspect my vehicle for my own safety as well as that of other owners of the same model.
Mitsubishi determined not to investigate my concerns after less than one week and without even seeing my vehicle. I offered to provide pictures and they declined. For the safety of their consumer, I would have hoped Mitsubishi would have taken an interest in a claim that occurred not as a result of the care I give my car, but the poor craftsmanship that endangers me while I drive.
HANFORD, CALIFORNIA -- Buyer beware if you buy a vehicle form Mitsubishi. Be prepared to throw away a lot of money if buying new because when you drive the vehicle off the lot it will automatically depreciate so much that you will owe more than the vehicle is worth longer than any other vehicle on the market.
If you like the vehicle and want to keep it, go ahead and buy it. Just don't forget the upside down insurance because it will take well over half the life expectancy of the vehicle if you want any hope of recouping any money or breaking even. I suggest buying used. There's plenty of idiots out there that will throw their money away to lease it for a couple years. Then you can pick it up for half the price.
I own an 2005 Eclipse and like the car. However, the paint all over my car is peeling off. That's not normal. I approached Mitsubishi about it and they refused to do anything. I am extremely disappointed. It'll cost me a few thousand to fix, and I'll never buy a Mitsubishi again. I'll also be sure to encourage my friends to do the same.

March, 2013
Culver's LIFT group is celebrating its second anniversary. Established in 2011, LIFT is Marshall County Community Foundation's (MCCF) first affinity group, and it is an association of volunteer women whose mission is to collectively support the advancement of women in the Culver area. LIFT does this through mentoring, volunteering, and providing resources to other women.
A donor-advised fund at the MCCF that members contribute to annually allows the group to support women in the Culver area to succeed in both their personal and professional lives. Co-chair Joan Bess says, "We want to reach women who need that extra lift to help them succeed by providing a support system and our friendship. We work with them through one-on-one interactions that can leverage our group's experiences and skills, and, we do that by offering our friendship." Co-chair Kathy Lintner adds, "Although we do have some ability to help financially, our hope is to provide more than financial resources. We try to provide our collective experiences and talents so that the women we help might gain what they need to succeed in their own circumstances."
LIFT is an acronym for Lending, Inspirational Friendship Together. Members of the group endeavor to use their skills, talents, and friendship to "lift" other women to success. Bess says, "Friendship has proven to be the most important aspect of what we do. To date, we have helped two women by developing relationships with them to learn about their circumstances. We can then assess how we might use our skills to help. We think we have been able to contribute to their lives through our friendships with them. It has been a rewarding experience for all of us."
LIFT members plan to help more women this year and are encouraged by their successes to date. Sue Roth, the group's historian, says, "As a group, we represent a variety of backgrounds. Some of the women in our group are business-oriented, whereas others have worked as educators, social workers, or in another industry. Several of the members of LIFT also know what a challenge it is to balance family life with work life and other demands. We draw on all of our experiences when connecting with other women who want our help."
The LIFT group is currently accepting applications from those who might be interested in the group's help. Bess says, "If you know a woman who might benefit from our group, we'd love to hear from her." You can learn more about LIFT and contact the group through LIFT's website at www.culverlift.com. You can download an application from the website at LIFT Information Sheet. You can also write to LIFT at: LIFT, P.O. Box 105, Culver, IN 46511 or write to email@example.com.

Update: Annie's recap is live.
SPOILER ALERT: Surprising elimination tonight, rock stars. After a results show featuring performances by Kiss (it's Heavy Metal, I mean Rock Week!) and Gotan Project, the couple shimmying out of the ballroom tonight is….
Sherri Shepherd and Val Chmerkovskiy.
Roshon Fagan and Chelsie Hightower joined Sherri and Val in the bottom two.
As for that bottom two Dance Duel the judges teased last week, it'll start up next Tuesday. Just as well, because the judges would have selected Roshon to stay over Sherri anyway.
Stay tuned for my full recap later on. Update: Here it is!
The SHEP-HERD letters on Val's knuckles would like to remind you to kindly appraise Your Hidden Gems of Week 4.

Filed under: Milwaukee area, update | Tags: CCC, communization, discussion, french, milwaukee, reading, supplementary, texts, the imaginary party, the invisible committee, tiqqun
Especially with these ideas it can be very helpful to have a more thorough preliminary reading of texts which have influenced the Invisible Committee / TIQQUN / the Imaginary Party and other things they've written. Introduction to Civil War is coming out in a few weeks, so maybe it's a bit silly to have this on the list, but since it came out before Call or The Coming Insurrection it should hopefully offer some further insight into and give a more rounded understanding of the ideas. Some other good places to focus on as a start would be: Foucault's History of Sexuality volume 1: the Introduction, The Coming Community (of which the title of TCI references) and Other texts by Giorgio Agamben.
If people have other suggestions please share them. Texts that specifically deal theoretically with communization would be helpful. The first issue of Endnotes is a good place to start for a general understanding of the idea and history, but this isn't exactly the same place that the Invisible Committee is coming from.
Supplementary Readings:
–The Coming Insurrection by The Invisible Committee (book)
–Introduction to Civil War by TIQQUN (book)
–Invisible Politics: An Introduction to Contemporary Communization by John Cunningham
–Human Strike After Human Strike by Johann Kaspar (from Occupied London #4)
–Bring Out Your Dead by the Endnotes Collective
