return of a political jedi knight ...
Molly Ivins tells us desparate democrats what we should do. I think it's a great idea. If only we could convince him. My very inside source says it's unlikely but not unheard of. If he were four years younger, I'm told, he would jump at it. Therefore, I think we need to tell him why four years in age dont matter as much as four years in office. Below are excerpts from Ivins' article. Please click on the link above and read in its entirety:
Here's what we do. We run Bill Moyers for president.
I am serious as a stroke about this. It's simple, cheap and effective, and it will move the entire spectrum of political discussion in this country. Moyers is the only public figure who can take the entire discussion and shove it toward moral clarity just by being there....Do I think Bill Moyers can win the presidency? No, that seems like a very long shot to me. The nomination? No, that seems like a very long shot to me. Then why run him? Think, imagine, if seven or eight other Democratic candidates, all beautifully coiffed and triangulated and carefully coached to say nothing that will offend anyone, stand on stage with Bill Moyers in front of cameras for a national debate … what would happen? Bill Moyers would win, would walk away with it, just because he doesn't triangulate or calculate or trim or try to straddle the issues. ... He is not afraid of being called "unpatriotic." And besides, he is a wise and a kind man who knows how to talk on TV....One time in the Johnson years, LBJ called on Moyers to say the blessing at a dinner. "SPEAK UP, Bill," Lyndon roared. "I can't hear you." Moyers replied, "I wasn't speaking to you, sir." That's the point of a run by Moyers: He doesn't change to whom he is speaking just because some president is yelling at himTo let Moyers know what you think of this idea, write him at PO Box 309, Bernardsville, NJ, 07924.

Description: The following scene of Helmut Huxley and Antony Lorca was filmed for and scheduled as part of "Last Summer in Greece" But I was being geographically incorrect as these scenes were filmed in Africa.
I was descended upon by the purists annoying me into cancelling it I wonder if the director of Chicago, who filmed it in Canada, had this issue? So, you will have to 'suffer' with having this scene – featuring two beautiful guys with big dicks- here. Somehow, you'll manage.

Try Bibliotherapy Instead of the Bible
2 comments:
Bibliotherapy + psychotherapy + "philosophical counseling" (http://npcassoc.org/) might just cover this terrain, and dismantle the "subjectivity" objection.ReplyDelete
"What better way to learn how to accept and think about our shared doom than through the experience of those, both fictional and real, who have faced death before us?"ReplyDelete
^^ And through their experiences that I read about, it's weird to think I am also experiencing something of my very own. I really like the term bibliotherapy, and what is stands for. Eager to see what you find and discuss next to psychotherapy, and possibly philosophical counseling.

( Tazi ) Dear Miree, I am looking for good night spot - with good music and dance. I have to many places in Jakarta but no one seems to dance - except occasionally some do in Bats (Shangrila). Well, I don't like that place very much as it famous for its 'pick up' girls, which sometimes is a problem for female -as they give a look at any female goes there.
So, please give me tips - where can I and my girl friends go for a good and clean fun 'where people actually use the dance floor'...just want pure fun and girls night out. Thanks!
( Miree ) Dear Tazi, You can check WhatsNewJakarta.com new page WHAT'S HOT LIST for recommendations. Goodluck!

Mark Twain - But who prays for Satan? Who, in eighteen centuries, has had the common humanity to pray for the one sinner that needed it most?
Byron Katie - I have simply stopped arguing with reality. How do I know the wind should blow? It's blowing. How do I know this is the highest order? It's happening. Arguing with 'what is' is like teaching a cat to bark. It's not very fulfilling. I am my friend and no longer confused. The way I know that reality is good is that when I argue the point I experience tension, fear and frustration. I lose - not sometimes, but 100% of the time. It just doesn't feel natural inside: no balance, no connection. I want reality to change? Hopeless. Let me change my thinking. Some of us mentally argue with 'what is.' Others of us attempt to control and change 'what is,' and then tell ourselves and others that we actually had something to do with any apparent change that took place. This leaves no connection or room for God in my life. In the peaceful experience of no opposition to God, I remain aware of my nature: clear, vibrant, a friend, a listener.
Sadhguru - When you become meditative, you will see, your intellectual capabilities will increase many times more than what it is right now. Not because meditation makes you intelligent, but because meditation clears up the mess, the muck that's gathered on the glass of the flashlight. As your meditation deepens, it just clears up the muck more and more and the flashlight becomes more and more powerful. It shows you things more and more clearly.

The two-day dip in oil stocks as the calendar turned over was brief and shallow. Visions of real profit taking giving us an entry into a couple energy positions were dashed by the comments from the OPEC Secretary about $80 oil. Immediately stocks roared off to new highs as out entry targets were left in the dust.
However, there was one good side to the flurry of oil news. Chevron Texaco was rumored to be on the acquisition trail for Unocal. CVX stock was not exactly hammered for a loss but it did fail to follow the others higher and that may be the best entry we are going to get. I am going to hold my nose and jump on the train this weekend. Chevron is cash rich, has very little debt and trades at a PE of 11. Even if they did bid high for Unocal that oil in the ground will be worth about twice today's price before they can get it out.
The Jobs report was favorable to bonds and that knocked interest rates back off their highs and gave new life to the homebuilders. TOL and RYL both returned to their highs, which means a ripe PE of 10 for TOL. The homebuilders should be seen as land banks and just like oil they are not making any new land.
Unfortunately the tech sector is feeling unloved with all the money going to commodities and housing. Our tech plays are languishing and with Intel and the three dwarfs, TXN, XLNX and ALTR, all issuing mid quarter updates next week it may be time to consider an exit. I am going to drop the LEAP call on IBM and continue holding the April $90 put.
I dropped the Apple Leap Put idea last week after getting several negative emails and AAPL fell from $44.50 to $41.25 on Thursday. Friday saw a small rebound but the trend may have changed. I had several readers' email that they had taken the play anyway and were looking for guidance on an exit. I would exit on a touch of the 100-day average currently $33 but it might converge with the price just over $35. Just keep an eye on it.
I am still hesitant to add any new plays given the weakness in the Nasdaq. The stocks that I would like to buy are too high and need to pull back and the tech sector is still telegraphing weakness ahead. I will continue to be selective until the time is right and then back up the truck.

Coding wise, nothing too new to report. I finished off the lower level SDL interface objects and created the skeleton for the main gaming loop. Although I made a remark about Game Dev's "One Line Main" program, I am starting to see its usefulness in limiting scope and reducing the need for some type of global variables. At least now I can provide a context for most of active game data so that process events and rendering cleanly.
Tomorrow, I start up with the Tile and Board objects. I am not sure if I will have anything complete to release on Friday, but we will see what I do over the holiday weekend.
From a design perspective, I have given more thought about what I am trying to achieve and about how long it should take. I spent some time on RogueBasin and seeing what has been done before.
I definitely plan on spending my time on my strengths. That is mostly in engine development and game logic. For this project it will be a 2D Iso tile based game. How interesting the tiles and maps become depend on how much time I spend on art. I don't plan on going to far past some fairly basic graphics.
But it should end up to be a small but complete game. It will just be a simple dungeon delve of some depth. Though I am much better at creating story so I might put some meaning into the crawl.

Anime NYC Brings Celebration of Japanese Culture & Anime to Javits Center on Nov. 17-19
September 21, 2017 by Colin Solan
Filed under Animation, Anime, Convention News, Manga, Movies, New York, Science Fiction and Fantasy, Television, Video Games
Press Release:
LeftField Media will present a massive three-day celebration of Japanese animation and culture this fall at the inaugural Anime NYC convention powered by Crunchyroll, coming to New York City's Javits Center from Friday, November 17 through Sunday, November 19. Attendees will be able to view exclusive anime screenings and meet major guests courtesy of international animation and manga publishers like Aniplex, Bandai Visual, Crunchyroll, Funimation, Sentai Filmworks, Sunrise, Yen Press, and VIZ Media; play the latest in Japanese gaming technology; chow down on Japanese delicacies and fusion cuisine; rock out to musical guests direct from Tokyo; and more. Tickets are currently available at www.animenyc.com with general admission tickets priced from $35-60, and with VIP tickets priced at $275 guaranteeing access to premiere programming and special guests.
LeftField Media looks to fill a void with Anime NYC. While most major cities in America play host to anime-specific conventions, New York City – America's largest city – has no large, dedicated celebration of Japanese animation and culture. Anime NYC powered by Crunchyroll has been in planning for over a year with tremendous support from partners in both America and Japan, and anticipates bringing together almost 20,000 fans at its inaugural convention. Anime has had a presence in American entertainment for decades in the form of beloved series like Pokemon, Dragon Ball Z, and Sailor Moon and films from acclaimed directors like Hayao Miyazaki and Satoshi Kon, and has seen broader audiences tuning in recently to watch hits like Attack on Titan, One-Punch Man, and Yuri!!! on Ice on services like Netflix, Hulu, and Crunchyroll.
Anime NYC powered by Crunchyroll puts Japanese culture and animation on a massive international stage in New York City, at a time when the anime industry is burgeoning worldwide. The Anime Industry Report 2016 from the Association of Japanese Animators estimated the overseas anime industry (excluding Japan) generated $288.4 million USD in 2015, an increase of over $125 million from 2014. Anime represents a growing stake in the entertainment industry both worldwide and notably in America, with the Anime Industry Report 2016 reporting more anime licensing contracts filed in 2015 in the United States than in any other country.
Special Guests and Events:
- Sailor Moon Crystal Cast Panel and Screening with Stephanie Sheh (Sailor Moon), Kate Higgins (Sailor Mercury), Cristina Vee (Sailor Mars), Amanda Celine Miller (Sailor Jupiter), Cherami Leigh (Sailor Venus), Sandy Fox (Chibi-Usa), Erica Mendez (Sailor Uranus), Lauren Landa (Sailor Neptune), Christine Marie Cabanos (Sailor Saturn), and Robbie Daymond (Tuxedo Mask)
- US Premiere of the film Gundam Thunderbolt: Bandit Flower and concert lead by composer Naruyoshi Kikuchi
- Anime Diva Night powered by Anisong World Matsuri concert featuring Japanese singers Yoko Ishida, Chihiro Yonekura, and TRUE
- NY Ramen Summit featuring a discussion between famed ramen chefs from around NYC
- Talk from LeSean Thomas, an NYC native who has successfully worked in the anime industry in Japan and whose Children of Ether is now on Crunchyroll and whose Cannon Busters will be debuting next year on Netflix
Anime NYC is New York City's anime convention! A showcase of the best of Japanese pop culture in the biggest city in America, Anime NYC brings anime fans and publishers together for three days of unique exhibits, exclusive screenings, extensive panels, and appearances by some of the biggest creators in Japan. Join us for a celebration of Japanese animation, manga, cosplay, movies, food, fashion, travel, technology, toys, and games in the heart of NYC! For more, visit animenyc.com.

What is Fandom Society?
The main idea behind Fandom Society is that everyone is a fan of something. Whether it be video games, anime, webcomics, comics, etc. someone's a fan of something. Fandom Society is a way to meet new people within these fandoms and even to meet and interact with people you who would normally be behind a signing booth. The main goal behind Fandom Society is to break down that barrier between the fan and the content creators (because even Dante Basco can be a fanboy). We also want to show mainstream media what it is to be in a fandom and to be into cosplay (let's pretend HoC didn't happen).
Cosplay ball means… Cosplay! If you want to create an entirely new cosplay for this party alone, go ahead. Or if you want to recycle one you're really proud of, do that too! We're going to have a lot of coverage of this event so bring your best foot forward. The hosts will also be going around looking for the best costumes and you will be put front and center in a fashion show for the entire party to see. I don't know about you, but that's some motive to bring a great cosplay.
Now what are you doing? Go and buy your tickets and bring your friends too!
6675 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood, CA 90028

Coming off a high from my Sirius NFL Radio gig on Tuesday, I was back giving One on One punting lessons on Wednesday.
I picked up University of Virginia punter Ryan Weigand at the airport and we went right to work. Ryan is really a nice young man with a big leg. He averaged 45.2 yards a punt his senior year! He was the open field punter and Chris Gould (Robbie Goulds brother), was the field goal kicker and pooch punter.
Ryan's knows he needs to show NFL special teams coaches that he can handle all the duties that are asked of him at the next level. Ryan has been a long time participant at Chris Sailor's kicking camps but wants to take his instruction to the highest level. That's why he's here.
During our lesson I showed him some slight flaws he had in this drop. We worked several drills and he experienced immediate results. He now knows, if he can get the ball on the table quicker he will have a more consistent drop and his punting consistency will improve.
We finished the day with a video session. He saw first hand what my eyes had seen on the field.
One of my favorite sayings is; "The eye in the sky, never lies." Ryan is a student of the game and picked up my explanations and coaching concepts quickly.
Tomorrow, Ryan will get better. He's going back to the hotel to practice his drop. "I pity the poor people staying below his room" He'll be dropping the ball all night long on the floor. He's committed to getting better, and wants to be ready for his college pro day next week.
You can hear my Sirius NFL interview by going to my blog on March 11th.

Former Arkansas senator gets 18 months in prison in fraud case
By Dave Hughes

FORT SMITH — Former state senator Jake Files was sentenced Monday to 18 months in federal prison and was ordered to pay more than $83,000 in restitution on wire fraud, bank fraud and money laundering charges.
Files pleaded guilty in January to wire fraud and money laundering for misdirecting nearly $27,000 in state General Improvement Fund money from a baseball-softball complex project he was involved in building for Fort Smith and using the money for personal purposes.
The bank-fraud charge accused him of pledging a forklift he did not own as collateral for a bank loan.
Files resigned Feb. 9 from his Senate seat representing District 8. He had announced last year, before he was charged in court, that he would not seek re-election to the seat he'd held since 2011.
Files was chairman of the Senate Revenue and Taxation Committee and served on the Senate Transportation, Technology and Legislative Affairs Committee, the Senate Efficiency Committee, the Arkansas Legislative Council and the Joint Budget Committee.
Gov. Asa Hutchinson said Monday he was saddened by Files' case.
"It is always a sad day when a public official violates the public trust," Hutchinson said. "I have known Jake most of his life, and when he was charged, he resigned and accepted responsibility. ... It is up to all of us in public service to do right and restore public confidence."
Read Tuesday's Arkansas Democrat-Gazette for full details.

And how are you going to do that Asa? You who have been utterly silent while these crimes were being committed right under your nose, possibly by your own nephew. You who are still allowing the state to pour money into the very companies used by Cranford to rip us off. You don't have enough credibility left to convince we the people of anything. The best way to restore our confidence in these offices is for you and all the rest to join Files in resigning. But, of course, you won't do that because you are all about you. Self-promotion is your biggest concern, not the people of Arkansas. I'm sure you are lining up to run for the U.S. Senate. Rest assured, there are those of us out here who will not let people forget your abdication of duty to us. Time for you and your clan to go home and let us have a fresh start.

CFTC finds that relatively few companies (like Vitol) have have driven oil futures speculation
Relatively few entities may have a much larger influence on the oil market than had been previously thought. The Washington Post reports today, in a story by David Cho, "A Few Speculators Dominate Vast Market for Oil Trading." The link is here.
There was particular attention to the futures contracts purchased by a Swiss energy company Vitol, which the Commodities Futures Trading Corporation found involved in inordinate activity buying futures contracts for profit rather than delivering oil. For example, look at this complaint (PDF) There are others that can be found by searching for Vitol there.
In 2007, the AP ran a story (now in the International Herald) that Vitol had paid a $17.5 million fine after pleading guilty in an oil-for-food case, link here.

Leaving the west
So, there we are, at the border between Finland and Russia. That's where our trip really starts to get interesting. We left Denmark on July 3rd, after a BBQ party with Anders' friends by a very fine weather (but the Danes warned me that I didn't get the real Danish experience: it's supposed to be cold and rainy; well, I don't mind). Then a long ride through Sweden, spend the night on the deck of the ferry to Finland, and look around Helsinki for a good set of knobby tyres. Not very exciting really.
I actually crossed 4 countries without seeing any custom officer (Austria, Germany, Denmark, Sweden), and a very informal one in Finland (thank you EU) but now this is different: Russia means quite a bit of red tape. Of course they don't speak English, and they don't try to help you (except this young soldier who was bored to death) but the female custom officers are attractive and we have time, so eventually we enter this huge country spanning no less than a quarter of the earth!
First stop right after the border to get some petrol (half price compared to Finland), and we find a couple blonde girls very lightly clothed to fill up our tanks; as the saying goes, you don't have a second chance to make a good first impression, and those Russians do it the right way..

Teleportation Is Real – But Don't Try It at Home
Posted by kayms99 on January 29, 2009
By Danielle Dowling TIME MAGAZINE
Physics and magic aren't often mistaken, but increasingly, physicists themselves seem to be trying to change that. Last year, a team at the University of California, Berkeley, announced that it had developed materials that could lead to an invisibility cloak. Last month, a group of researchers at Harvard University and the National Institutes of Health reported that it had accomplished something not unlike levitation, causing a microscopic sphere of gold to rise above a glass surface. Now, according to a paper published in the Jan. 23 issue of Science, a team of scientists from the Joint Quantum Institute (JQI) at the University of Maryland and the University of Michigan has joined the fun. The current bit of legerdemain?
Depending on your favorite sci-fi yarns, teleportation is either a very, very bad idea (see: The Fly) or a very, very cool one (see: Star Trek). For scientists, it's just very, very complex, so much so that at this point, teleportation is not a matter of moving matter, but of transporting information. Already, physicists have been able to exchange information between light particles — or photons — or between atoms so long as they were right next to each other. The current experiment marks the first in which information has traveled a significant distance — 1 meter, or a little more than 3 ft. — between two isolated atoms. It's also the first time the powers of a photon, which is good at traveling over long distances, and an atom, which is prized for its ability to retain information, have been jointly exploited.
Using a pair of ions, or charged particles, group leader Christopher Monroe and his team place each in a vacuum and keep them in position with electric fields. An ultrafast laser pulse triggers the atoms to emit photons simultaneously. If the photons interact in just the right way, their parent atoms enter a quantum state known as entanglement, in which atom B adopts the properties of atom A even though they're in separate chambers a meter apart. When A is measured, the information that had been previously encoded on it disappears in accordance with the quirky rules of the quantum world. But all is not lost: Because B is entangled with A, B now contains the information that was once carried on A. That information, in a very real sense, has been teleported.
OK, so parents might not be inviting the JQI team to perform at their kids' birthday parties any time soon, but what the quantum trick lacks in showmanship, it makes up in practical applications for future computers. In 1965, Intel co-founder Gordon Moore predicted that the number of transistors that could be placed on a computer chip would double every two years — which is precisely what has happened. He was rewarded for his prescience with a sort of immortality — the famed "Moore's Law" is one of the venerable truths of the computer world. The rest of us were rewarded with ever-faster and ever-smaller computers. At some point soon, however, miniaturization will reach a point that's too tiny to be practical. It's then, many hope, that what's known as quantum computing — based on information-sharing particles — will take over.
Quantum-computing technology is currently being used to encrypt data, but it holds a lot more potential than that — if only because of its massive information-storage capacity. One of the marvelous little wrinkles of the quantum world is a condition known as superposition, in which a particle can occupy two states at the same time. (Don't ask; it just can.) For this reason, a quantum bit, or qubit, can store two numbers at once. Each qubit added to a quantum computer doubles the size of the system, so if you want to know the capacity of a computer that contained 300 qubits, take the number 2 and multiply it by itself 300 times. "That's more than the number of particles in the universe," Monroe says.
The next step for the JQI team is to improve the photons' precision and the rate of communication between the particles. What we won't see any time soon — or ever, according to Monroe — is a contraption that can teleport humans from one point to another. Sorry, Captain Kirk, but beaming up is a pleasure strictly reserved for atoms. "There's way too many atoms," says Monroe. "At the other end of the transporter, you need to have some blob of atoms that represents Captain Kirk but has no information in it. I mean, what would that look like?"

Couldn't the 'blob of atoms' simply be the existing air in the space at the destination? I'm sure it's probably more complex than that but how many scientists in the past have done the previously impossible?

Birding - 06/05/09
Dropped Ma B off at the station for her journey back to the UK and decided to try some sea-watching. The wind had picked up to quite a westerly blow during the day. Three hours at Yttre Kattvik, sitting in the car produced a few things but nothing exceptional. Twelve gannets drifted through and a summer-plumage black-throated diver on the sea was nice. I suspect a morning session would have produced more migrant waders and ducks.

My Training Schedule
The half marathon training is going pretty well so far. Some days are harder than others to find (or make) the time to run. I have been going to the gym after work to hit the treadmill, run my neighborhood streets on the cold weekends and I have even been running before work at 6 am. I know, I'm crazy. I even saw 3 other runners out that early, it was dark and they were wearing head lamps and reflectors on their shirts. They are smart. I was wearing an over sized Arizona Cardinals sweatshirt that I got for free, ha!
I have been doing pretty good with getting in the right mileage each week, so that's good. Scott and i are going to go on a longer run one of these days and see how our paces are, etc.... We just need to get our schedules to match up one day, hopefully a warmer day. I would love to go run up City Creek again, they have awesome trails up there. Hopefully some of you have signed up for the Half Marathon, it's a good race with an excellent course.

I was in Downtown area yesterday to go somewhere from there and got myself a cup of coffee from McDonald's and started a very slow walk, window shopping, minding my own business. There were lots of Natives around as usual, many of them intoxicated, again, as usual but paid not much attention. I stopped for a second to see something and I was holding my coffee when I felt a push on my back and I was thrown forward!
Under normal circumstances I would have landed on the ground with my coffee first and my nose and head after that and I would have broken my nose, maybe my forehead too! Also it was a great chance that I would have been burnt by that coffee. But none of those happened. I quickly got myself together and realised that a drunk Native man in his late 20s and early 30s was walking by saying I was in front of him! I swore at the guy and could easily drop him with a punch like a bag of dirt but felt bad for him and just scared him by showing him my mobile telephone and saying that I would call the cups on him and kept swearing!
he took a few steps toward me but when he heard that he walked off while still being sworn at.
I always knew these guys are crazy and I always avoided them but I never had a pleasant contact like that with them. Downtown Calgary and especially the east side of it most of the time crowded with Natives hanging out with shabby cloths and asking you for change. It is quite similar to Vancouver Downtown East-side, of course not that bad. There difference is that in Vancouver they are kind of segregated but in Calgary they are floating!
(Photo: I decided to post a photo of the nice side of the Downtown instead of the homeless, drunk and addicted! This is a sort of sculpture installed on high as can be seen around Bankers Hall. Suncor Energy centre and a little portion of the Bow can be seen on the back)

I grew up on the remote Orkney islands in the north of Scotland, IT would probably be one of the last occupations to consider up there, only to move down to central England when I was 18 and never look back! I have worked out it would be quicker to drive to Turin in Italy than it would be for me to drive back up to Orkney to my parents house from my current location which is just outside Oxford!

7/3/06 Thursday
It is amazingly quiet in this apartment now, other than the sound of thunder as a cold front moves in. This is because it is now cool enough that I turned off the air conditioning and all the fans we had circulating the air around. It is storming and raining outside. We don't need the rain because this city has been flooding and the ground is saturated which will contribute to more flooding. The farmers have been hit from this pretty hard so I know they hate to see it. Wish I could send the rain to West Texas where they desperately need it. Cool is welcome though. The heat has been hard on the old folks without air and those who work outside. Yesterday a construction worker died from the heat as he worked.
Allen called this morning at 6:30. Cherie took the call and Allen was surprised I wasn't up. I had told him that our alarm is set for 5:30 but Cherie lets me sleep in. I still usually wake up by 7:00. I called Allen back to see what was up. Actually I talked with him yesterday so have a good idea of what is going on. He mostly could use a friend to talk to and help him correct the thought patterns that develop because of his depression and pain. Allen told me that he could use some help moving possessions out of a friends garage cause the guy is moving. I told Allen that I would be taking Wayne to the MS lunch bunch support group at 11:00 so would call him when I was free.
I will probably see Denise at the Lunch Bunch. Still haven't taken the computer Jeff donated to her yet. Been thinking about it but never got around to it. That seems to be the Bob way of not doing things. Perhaps seeming her will spur me to action.
I turned off and unplugged Cherie's computer because of the lightning. Also disconnected the phone lines to this laptop also. When the lightening cracked as I talked to Allen it flickered the lights. That will spur me to make up a back up disc so I won't lose valuable information. All of my pictures are in this laptop and no where else so if they get gone they are gone for good.
I will risk going online to post this cause the storm has settled down a little.
Another example of getting lost. The MS luncheon is not today. I had not marked it on the calendar so my brain seemed to have the idea it was to be on the first Thursday of the month. Nope. Looking in the calendar at past meetings I find that it is on the second Thursday. Got Wayne up and was late getting to his place so when he asked to stop by his mail box I told him "We're running late. Let's pick it up when we come back".
Then I loaded him in the truck and hurried to the Ground Round where the luncheon is held. Going in the waitress got quite confused when I said we were here for the luncheon. I looked in the room it is usually held in and only saw four old ladies playing cards. Damn. The waitress came back and said they had nothing on the calendar. Embarrassed we left and I took Wayne home.
He had a letter from Social Security so I made him read the whole thing instead of just glancing at it and deciding what it said without knowing. Then I asked him to get his lawyers phone number I had given him before we went to Texas. He searched through the various piles of papers with notes scribbled on them and couldn't find it. I got on his case a little telling him he has to get organized. I have bought him folders and manila envelops for that purpose. He has a phone number section in the organizer I bought him so I said he needs to start using it.
I am frustrated. While trying to post a picture of Cherie and I on the Homestead website I somehow disappeared an entire folder of pictures that I had sized at 800 pixels for downloading to the blog. It is gone. Ran a search and it does not appear to exist anymore. I think I will go visit Allen now.

Stormy morning

You know what? I'm no longer a Londoner. No longer must I trek to work past cheeky street urchins, charming cockneys, screeching teenagers, drug runners, prophets of doom, doe-eyed starlets, braying Sloanes, baffled tourists, drunks of every stripe, malignant lawyers, and the Queen. Or any of the other things years of reading have led me to believe fill this city.
Not because Manchester won't have any of these things, you understand (except the Queen, presumably): it's just that I won't be trekking to work any more. It is time, for a short and thrilling year, to invert my proportions of leisure and survival: now I'll publish in the dark, nameless hours, and spend most of the day writing and writing and writing.
Now is the time for the expensive replacing all the duff things I've bashed holes in and not bothered replacing over the past four years: keyboard, trainers, socks, bedside lamp, alarm clock, soul. I have assembled this list as a result of Saturday afternoon, when I wrapped my troubles in dreams and my books in cardboard boxes, preparing for my deLondonification. Now, lurking in Bath for a week with my parents before hitting the motorways and heading north, I have assessed my possessions and have determined that my life, according to the tenets of advanced consumer capitalism, consists of:
- Books: many. And much as I like small presses, why must their paperbacks be a different height to the rest?
- Socks: simultaneously too many and not enough.
- Things that need ironing: apparently infinite.
- Cuboid objects: the box I am proud of.
- Non-cuboid objects: the box I despise. Does this make me alarmingly OCD?
- Cuddly toy, x2. The womble might have to retire to the attic, now I'll be half a country away from an SW postcode.
- Stationery: couldn't possibly say where all this came from. And no, I wouldn't believe those rumours about me and the stationery cupboard on my last day at work. People say all sorts.
- Equipment for sports I don't play any more. My equivalent of 'dancing shoes, never worn'.
My brain's bouncing all over the place like a puppy on a coffee drip. Next stop, Manchester. Actually, no: next stop, buying lots of cutlery. Last stop, Manchester. No, that sounds too final. Oh, sod it, you know what I mean. I'll have to stop using third-hand train metaphors, now that I'm going to a city without an underground.

Ok once again these pics are a little late in being posted. This was the first Sunday in January and the first meet up of 2008 of the Amida knitters.
Welcome to Stephanie who joined us for the first time and also to our visitor Heather (Army of Knitters) who was back over from the pond to renew her visa and as she had an appointment in town on the Monday morning was also able to come along too! Hurray for Heather.
It was a bit dark but you can get the general idea and feel for the place. Can you spot the swimmer in distance behind us. It is a gym and we do excercise there sometimes.
Heather also gave me a run down on the magic loop method for sock knitting so I will be trying that when I cast on my next pair of socks.
She has also written detailed instructions in her book, Not Your Mamas Knitting.
Thanks to Robynn who brought along a preview of her lovely new yarn stocks. We got to touch and squeeze and admire before it all went live on her website on the 11th January. Go on, take a look you know you want to. The colours are gorgeous and the textures are so, so soft. I know what is on my wish list.
What I want is the colour of the Great Big Sea in the Camel spin. Now that is just gorgeous yarn.
The next meeting for interested knitters is on Sunday 20th January at 7.30pm.

Key Developments Concerning SARS
Key developments in places affected by severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS:
_TAIWAN: The SARS crisis surged in Taiwan with eight new fatalities and a record jump of 23 new cases. The fatalities raised the island's death toll to 27 out of 207 cases.
_ FINLAND: The University of Turku Central Hospital said a Finnish man who had been on vacation in SARS-hit Toronto in late April had probably contracted the illness. Canadian officials disputed the Toronto link.
_ MALAYSIA: German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder continued with a Southeast Asia tour despite the fact that Malaysian officials announced a 10-day quarantine on students and workers arriving from SARS-affected areas.
_ HONG KONG: About 250,000 primary students headed back to class after a six-week school closure, while health officials reported five new cases and three more fatalities, bringing the death toll to 218.
_ SOUTH KOREA: Officials reported the country's second case of SARS after an American man in his 80s showed symptoms of the disease after arriving the previous day from the Philippines.
_ CHINA: The World Health Organization visited a poor and medically backward Chinese province that could be fertile ground for a future epidemic.
_WORLDWIDE TOLL: SARS has killed at least 559 people worldwide, out of more than 7,300 infected. Mainland China has reported 252 deaths, Hong Kong 218, Singapore 28, Taiwan 27, Canada 23, Vietnam five, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand two each.

Apple stock got hit in late March, along with the broader tech sector, but remains up for the year.
Apple News is now a free app that delivers a personalized selection of content from a choice of publishers, with the ability to follow certain topics as well as subscribe to magazines and newspapers directly through news.
Apple's fastest growing revenue segment is now their services division so it makes sense for them to attempt to grab some of the low-hanging fruit in the form of news subscriptions.
Apple did not respond to request a comment on the report. Apple Music is now charging $9.99 a month and Texture is also offering the same subscription plan for the new users.
Integrating the current Apple News app and recently acquired Texture service, the new Apple news subscription service would give magazine publishers a slice of the revenue. This offers millions of songs for $9.99 per month, and now has more than 40 million subscribers.
Now costing $9.99 a month, the service will eventually be managed by Apple's own news team. Today's report states that similar to Texture, the revised Apple News will charge one monthly price that will allow subscribers to read any of the magazines and newspapers available for perusal. Apple has said that it is targeting annual service revenue of $50 billion by 2021. During a recent earnings conference call, Apple told analysts it had a total of 240 million paid subscriptions, with 58 percent year-over-year growth. Apart from this, Apple is generating revenues from a variety of their services such as Apple Pay transactions, App Store downloads, iTunes music, movie, and TV show purchases, and digital book downloads, reported on Bloomberg. The company could also choose to turn its original video content efforts into its own Netflix-like video subscription service. Apple rarely cuts positions, but after the company acquired Beats, it laid off about 200 people. Texture previously had about 100 staff members. After the acquisition, 20 people were made redundant while the rest of the team was part of Apple News.
