Jonathan Freedland wrote an article in the Guardian commenting on the response to a previous article he'd written. In this he suggested that the rest of the world will take a dim view if America elects McCain as President. As might be expected, a lot of responses centred around the frequently and vehemently expressed American view that it's their election and everyone else should keep their noses out.
Anyone who's read the nationalistic abuse heaped on non-citizens at dKos who dare to have an opinion on the USA won't be the least bit surprised that worse responses are likely from other quarters of the blogos. So really, what he said was no surprise (for us). But in amongst all of Freedland's disappointment at their reaction (and given what happened in Clark county in 2004 he really should know better) there was one sentence that struck me;-
So, Americans who say that since they don't poke their nose into our domestic affairs, we should stay out of theirs,
My immediate reaction was to ask where do they get the idea that the US govt doesn't poke its nose into our affairs ? Of course they interfere.
Ask the Irish about who funded Declan Ganley ? Or ask europe about him ? Why is there the widespread belief around europe that the UK merely acts as a trojan horse for US policies towards the EU ? How does the CIA operate rendition in europe with the complicity of european governments, even those supposedly in opposition to it ? How is it that europe is engaged in a spat with russia, in line with US policy, which is against europe's long term strategic interests ? NATO as the US Foreign Legion ? British military policy ? How many lobbyists stinking up Brussels are in the pay of US corporate and gevernmental interests ? You don't have to be remotely paranoid to recognise that it happens.
And this is just europe. I'm pretty sure that the 700+ military bases the US operates around the world are there to help encourage "conformity" and apply pressure where needed. As the Moon of Alabama commented on the latest US Army Field Manual for "Stability Operations" about the willingness of the US to aggresively interfere, or at least make it understood such inteerference is possible; -
The doctrine of military "stability operations" seems to be driven by two urges:-
i) to justify "intervention" in form of "stability operations" under the pretext of ill-defined "instability" whenever and wherever one likes.
ii) the U.S. military's organizational drive to encroach on foreign policy issues that should be the task of the State Department and to militarize all foreign aid
i) to justify "intervention" in form of "stability operations" under the pretext of ill-defined "instability" whenever and wherever one likes.
ii) the U.S. military's organizational drive to encroach on foreign policy issues that should be the task of the State Department and to militarize all foreign aid
After all, the support the US "offers" countries such as Pakistan is intended to steer policies as required by US domestic political needs, plus the reality of support for rebels in countries that don't play the game. The resentments of the Middle East are much more about the US' support of repressive and dictatorial regimes than it is about Israel/Palestine (tho' that doesn't help).
So, what is it that these American commentators understand of the last 60 years of world history if they don't think that the US is constantly interfering in the domestic affairs of practically every country in the world ? After all, it's the prerogative of empire, the British were sending n the gunboats for the purposes of "persuasion and encouragement" for centuries. It's just more honest if you admit that's what you're doing.
The US public needs to hear clear rebuke and trenchant criticism from our historic allies when the US is so demonstrably pushing events in the worst possible direction, as it usually is. We are like an alcoholic gambler on a drunken bender squandering the families life savings on a delusion. We are in need of intervention by anyone who still cares for us.
"It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
Well said.
I can swear there ain't no heaven but I pray there ain't no hell. _ Blood Sweat & Tears
So, Americans who say that since they don't poke their nose into our domestic affairs, we should stay out of theirs
This brings me back to my main critique of this site - it's too obsessed with viewing the world through the lens of nations. The time for that passed 100 years ago. Since we all live on this tiny enclosed planet, you're god damn right I'm interested in your political affairs, as you should be interested in mine.
I can barely tolerate the nationalism on this site, particularly the European inferiority complex, well honed and quite dysfunctional after decades of American ideological domination. Don't get me wrong - this site is as mild as it gets. For me, DailyKos is completely out of the question, as is every other politically themed community I've come across.
When I get defensive about the US in my comments, as I often do, a small chunk of it is indeed my American identity, but most of it is an infuriated human being watching us careen off the edge into the abyss while we split straws over meaningless medium term European advantages - meaningless if you give a shit about what might be going on in this planet beyond your own lifetime - which is fantastically short.
you are the media you consume.
But there are tectonic, or "Telluric" shifts going on - to wit, the pervasive spread of the Internet, and the direct "Peer to Peer" connections to which this gives rise.
IMHO these changes will make petty nationalism redundant except for ritual football/Olympic tribalism.
So I pretty much ignore such stuff as "fluff".
"The future is already here -- it's just not very evenly distributed"
William Gibson
This brings me back to my main critique of this site - it's too obsessed with viewing the world through the lens of nations.
I can barely tolerate the nationalism on this site
Interesting remarks.
I'd say viewing the world through the lens of nations is one of the ways one can analyse the world events, as when we analyse the nations' reactions to the financial crisis. So it's perfectly legitimate, as long as it's only one of the possible views - which I'd think is the case here. You'll find just as often here an analysis though the filter of social classes.
As to nationalism, if you define nationalism as "my country, right or wrong", I don't see that so prevalent here...
But you're right, I embed it on ProgressiveBlue and Docudharma far more than I embed it here.
I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.

text: From Shredz64 "Shredz64 is (will be if successful!) a game for the Commodore 64 that makes use the playstation guitar controller hooked through the PSX64 interface. It is in the beginning stages right now, with only button testing and some graphics routines done, but is on a steady track. There is a good chance Shredz64 will make use of SID and/or MID files for its music, though with channel constraints, SID files are more likely than MIDI files off the bat. Some obstacles to be worked through include presentation of music given the 3 voice nature of the 6581 and 8580. Calculation, whether static or dynamic, of fret button mappings to notes as well. Also, efficiency needed for quick polling of the guitar controller. Below is a screenshot of the beginnings of the game. I'm keeping the graphics very simple, confined to PETSCII and sprites during the early phases, since I want to save all the processing power I can for the music and response. If I have some extra cycles left over at the end, I'll tweak and polish up the graphics. Anyway, you can see the (very) beginnings of how the main screen will look." I love the fact that people still program for the C64 and beyond.

King of the Gods
This article does not cite any sources. (March 2018) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
In polytheistic systems there is a tendency for one deity, usually male, to achieve pre-eminence as King of the gods. This tendency is paralleled with the growth of hierarchical systems of political power, in which a monarch eventually comes to assume ultimate authority for human affairs. Other gods come to serve in a Divine Council or pantheon, usually linked by family ties from union of a single husband or wife, or else from an androgynous divinity who is responsible for the creation.
Historically, subsequent social events, such as invasions or shifts in power structures, cause the previous King of the gods to be displaced by a new divinity, who assumes the displaced god's attributes and functions. Frequently the King of Gods has at least one wife who is the Queen of the gods.
Examples of this displacement of Kings of the gods include:
- In the Mesopotamian Anunnaki, Enlil displaces Anu and is in turn replaced by Marduk.[1]
- The Ancient Egyptian Ennead and Ogdoad, where the deity Osiris assumes pre-eminence, to be displaced by Seth or Sutekh, who is in turn replaced by Horus, son to Osiris and Isis
- The Canaanite pantheon, in which Baʿal (Hadad) displaces El
- The Hurrian/Hittite pantheon in which Kumarbi is displaced by Teshub or Tarhunt or Arinna.
- In the Armenian Ar, later – Aramazd.
- In the Historical Vedic religion, the King of the gods was Indra. Though Indra still retains the title of the King of the gods and the Ruler of Heaven, the trinity of Brahma, Shiva and Vishnu assume his protective functions as the Vedic religion evolved into Brahmanical Hinduism. Indra is often considered inferior to the Trinity.
- The Ancient Greek Olympian Gods, in which Cronus displaces Uranus, and Zeus in turn displaces Cronus
There is also a tendency for Kings of the gods to assume more and more importance, syncretistically assuming the attributes and functions of lesser divinities, who come to be seen as aspects of the single supreme deity. Examples of this include:
- Ancient Iranian Ahura Mazda of the Zoroastrians
- Hinduism where Brahma, Shiva, and Vishnu are seen as comprising the essence of all other divinities, and are considered aspects of the same monist reality, an impersonal force called Brahman.
List of rulers of pantheons[edit]
The leaders of the various pantheons include:
- Australian Aboriginal pantheon: Baiame
- Algonquin pantheon: Gitche Manitou
- Ashanti pantheon: Nyame
- Aztec pantheon: Huitzilopochtli or Ometeotl or Quetzalcoatl
- Canaanite pantheon: Baʿal (now usually identified with Hadad)
- Carthaginian pantheon: Baʿal Hammon
- Celtic pantheon: Dagda
- Chinese pantheon: Yuanshi Tianzun, Jade Emperor, Shangdi, Tian

- Hittite pantheon: Arinna or Teshub
- Hopi pantheon: Angwusnasomtaka
- Inca pantheon: Viracocha
- Inuit pantheon: Anguta or Anigut but only among the Greenlandic Inuit
- Japanese pantheon: Amenominakanushi, Izanagi-no-Mikoto, then Amaterasu-Ōmikami
- Korean pantheon: Dangun
- Latin pantheon: Jupiter
- Lakota pantheon: Wakan Tanka or Inyan
- Lusitanian pantheon: Endovelicus
- Māori pantheon: Tāne
- Mayan pantheon: Hunab Ku
- Mbuti pantheon: Khonvoum
- Mesopotamian pantheon: Sumerian: An, later Enlil; Babylonian: Marduk

- Tagalog/Filipino pantheon: Bathala
- Vietnamese pantheon: Lạc Long Quân
- Vodou pantheon: Bondye
- Yoruba pantheon: Olorun
- Zulu pantheon: Unkulunkulu, Umvelinqangi
The following are the characteristics shared by virtually all Kings of the gods:
- Creation: Most of these gods derive their power from the fact that they created the world, formulated its laws and/or created life forms notably humans. Ex: Ra, Odin.
- Dominion over the sky: Many such deities hold control over all aspects of the sky, such as weather, rain, thunderstorms, air, winds and celestial objects like stars. They also control some aspects of earth like harvest, fertility, plants or mountains. Ex: Zeus, Indra, Perun.
- Lightning bolts as personal weapons: Commonly seen with sky gods.
- Divine Wisdom: Some Kings of Gods possess superior wisdom and clairvoyance, compared to most beings. Ex: Ra, Odin.
- God of the Sun, Daylight or Celestial Fire: Some kings of gods are associated with the Sun, as it is life giving and is a powerful symbol of order. They are said to be in charge of celestial fire which are purifying by nature. Daylight is also an important phenomenon as most events take place under its presence. Ex: Ra, Dyeus Pitr.
- Conquest, Law, Justice, Order, Time and Fate: Most kings of gods have the ability to control the events of battle and grant victory to those who deserve it. They are seen as paragons of law and promote order. They are seen as powerful manifestations of their respective civilizations. Some gods either possess great skill in war or tremendous physical strength. Some of them have some control over time and regulate it with seasons. Others have limited control over the fate of a human. Ex: Zeus, Odin, Ra, Indra.
- Divine authority over other gods: This may be because the concerned head of the pantheon is the father or creator of many gods and goddesses who swear allegiance to him. As a result, the king of the gods makes sure that all deities function properly, punish them for misdeeds, grant or take away immortality from lesser gods etc. Ex: Zeus, Odin.
- Divine Rival: In some cases, there may be another god, who is equal in supernatural power and thinks he can do a better job than the current king. This often results in conflict, and in extreme cases, war. Ex: Ra and Apophis; Osiris, Set and Horus; Perun and Veles; Indra and the Asuras; Zeus and Poseidon; Cronos and Uranus; Typhon and Zeus etc.

Sars Ladies to make history in Feile
Thurles Sarsfields Ladies Football U14 panel has just added to the already amazing roll of honour in the club.
This coming weekend they will become the first team from the club to represent the club and county Tipperary at Feile.
This great Journey began back in April with the Thurles girls first took on Aherlow in Bansha. After an explosive start by Sarfields the West Tipperary side started to take a foothold in the game. With possession of the ball very important, Sarsfields better use of the short pass game meant that they made Aherlow work very hard just to get near the football. This eventually broke their fight back and a second Eimear McGrath goal put the game out of reach as Sarsfields went on to win by 9 points. There were strong performances from Marie Creedon, Jade Byrne, Ciara Maher, Kayleen Kane Harris Caroline Tobin, Aoife Keogh and Roisin Ryan.
Sarsfields next match and Semi Final was against another team from the West Tipperary area. Lattin Cullen carried an obvious Physical advantage into this game and had a number of strong ball carriers in midfield and in their half forward line. The Sarsfields management team had to make changes to the way their team played and this plan was put in place to great effect by the team. Choking the centre of the pitch by bringing in all wide players meant that Lattin failed to get their ball carriers breaking into scoring positions in the Sarsfields half of the pitch. Once the Sarsfield team turned over possession they spread the ball wide and worked deep into the Lattin half, drawing out the backs and making space for players like Grace Cummins, and Jenny Irwin to score. But these scores would not have being possible without the great defensive display from Katelyn Ruddy, Eva Noonan, Sadhbh Leahy, Sophie Rafter, Lauren Murphy Emma Jordan and Ciara Cosgrave.
In the Final the mighty Moyle Rovers awaited. For the first time in this competition Sarsfields fell behind and were probably lucky not to be further behind come half time. Goal keeper Michelle Stapleton pulled off two brilliant saves to keep Thurles in the game at half time. But the wind had a greater impact than most people realised and Sarsfields drove forward and used this wind to help pull back the Moyle Rovers lead. Lauren McCormack was beginning to pull the strings in the forward line Sars chipped away until five minutes from the end when they eventually went into the lead. Panic started to show in the Moyle team and they gave up easy possession on a few attacks which gave Sarsfields the opportunity to get the scores that won them the Tipperary Feile title.
This was the first time Sarsfields have entered a team in Feile so to win the county phase on their first effort was quiet an achievement. The tournament proper will take place across Connacht on the weekend of the 27th/28th/29th of June. The competition is arranged in groups of four which all play each other once on Friday and Saturday. ¼ finals will take place on Saturday evening, semi finals on Sunday Morning with the Final on Sunday afternoon. In Sarsfields group are Clann Na Gael from Athlone, Old Mills from Limerick and Padraig Pearces from Roscommon. Clann Na Gael is the Host club for Sarsfields. The opening matches will take place in Ballyleague on Friday and Sars will play there hosts on Saturday morning in Johnstown.
It is a great honour and opportunity for this group of girls. But the ambition that they showed in winning the Tipperary competition is no surprise. Since the present management team started working with the u14 and u16 panels in early 2013 a fantastic style of football has evolved and many across the county and clubs that have played challenges have complemented the high standard of football that Sarsfields play. Three of the panel were on the 2014 Tipperary u14 squad and another three made the Tipperary primary schools squad.

MGA Entertainment sent us the Avery Moxie Girlz Doll.
Avery is Strong, Determined, and Energetic. She is my favorite because she believes that anyone can do anything if they just want it bad enough and go for it. She comes with a bike, red and yellow markers, and an extra outfit. The markers that are included allow children to give the doll their own sense of style.
These dolls are meant for children 4-8 years old. There are 4 dolls in the collection and they all come with their own positive personality. You can even visit their website for games and screen savers.
The doll looks so realistic. I love how they come with markers so that your child can personalize the boots and bike to really make them their own. The doll encourages children to be their self and not let anyone stand in their way. The message that these dolls are trying to express couldn't be better for this age group.

Online Sport Editor Matt Bugler analyses the success for GB over USA and looks at how far they can progress in the Davis Cup.
Great Britain are into the quarter-finals of the Davis Cup for the first time since 1986, beating USA 3-1 away in San Diego to cement the remarkable turnaround that coach Leon Smith has instigated since taking charge in 2010.
At that point, GB had reached a nadir with defeat to Lithuania and were threatened with relegation to the fourth tier of the international tournament. Success last weekend means that they are now guaranteed another season in the top flight, and can look ahead to progressing further and maybe even challenging for the illustrious title.
For USA, they are facing a fall from grace not too dissimilar to Britain's own a few years ago. The retirement of Andy Roddick has left them without a big name, and the options available are alarmingly limited for a country so large and with such a history of outstanding players. They may be doing well in the women's game, with Serena Williams dominating and Madison Keys and Sloane Stephens rising stars for the future, but the state of the men's game is of much embarrassment to American tennis aficionados.
Their top male, John Isner, is a solid if unspectacular player capable of causing the odd upset on a fast hard court. His omission was certainly a blow, and number two Sam Querrey has dropped down the rankings in the last year. His capitulation to world number 156 James Ward after leading by a break at two sets to one up smacked of a player devoid of confidence and ill at ease on the clay, where his biggest weapon, his serve, is not as effective.
The Bryan Brothers remain arguably the greatest doubles team of all time, but if Querrey had got the job done against Ward it would likely have forced Smith to play Andy Murray in the doubles, and tired him for the final singles. As for Donald Young, it can't have filled American hearts with optimism seeing a man who suffered 17 straight losses in 2012 take to the stage against multiple Grand Slam champion And Murray.
The decision to play on clay was a bizarre one, seeming to play to Britain's weaknesses rather than America's strengths. Murray may not be as dangerous on clay, but he can comfortably out-rally players from outside the top ten on the surface, and may have been more vulnerable to a fit Isner or even Querrey on a fast hard court.
Americans have traditionally struggled on clay, although it was still a huge upset when Querrey lost to James Ward, who has never won an ATP tour level match on clay. Ward is proving to be a valuable asset to GB's Davis Cup plans, following his comeback win over Dmitry Tursunov last year, and faces healthy competition from Dan Evans and Kyle Edmund.
However, with GB now amongst the final eight tennis nations, it may be too much to expect them to go further with only one singles player inside the top 100. Ward's win last weekend was a bonus, but it is almost unthinkable for him to defeat either Fabio Fognini or Andreas Seppi in Italy. Both are far more comfortable and experienced on clay, with the former especially successful, winning two tournaments on it last year and enjoying a career-high ranking of 15.
Thus, if GB are to defeat Italy then it will almost entirely come down to Andy Murray. Despite the great team spirit that Smith has installed, you need world class players to prosper in the latter rounds of the Davis Cup, and Murray will have to negotiate two very tough singles matches. Considering he only won two matches on clay last season, this is far from the guaranteed rubbers that we usually see when Murray plays in the cup. He will also have to assume doubles responsibilities, likely with Colin Fleming, and all three matches he plays will have to be won if Britain are to progress.
The rewards would be sweet. Assuming that Kazakhstan are overcome, it is Switzerland who lie in wait in the semi-finals. With a team of Roger Federer and Australian Open champion Stanislas Wawrinka, it would be a tantalising affair against Murray and a time for Ward or Evans to enjoy in the spotlight. Federer is loving the success of his compatriot, and it is a delight to see him playing and winning in the Davis Cup.
With Spain out and defending champions Czech Republic relying heavily on Tomas Berdych, Switzerland could well be considered favourites for the event. It would be great for tennis purists to watch, and a match-up against Britain would bring massive exposure to a format that is still largely unnoticed in the public eye. If Britain and Murray can complete their Italian job, then a Swiss rendezvous would be greatly looked forward to.

I usually take my best shots using my Canon camera, but didn't have it to hand for this sunset. This is a trial panorama using the iPhone and I especially liked the flare it caught from the setting sun.
Well worth standing in the freezing cold for half an hour…
It's been a couple of weeks since I last posted on my blog, so to all my readers, a belated Merry Christmas and wishing you all a fantastic New Year.
This panorama is a series of 4 photos which has been blended together using the free tool Hugin.

Mediocre Fight of the Day: Knife vs Gun Fight
I'm not sure who was originally bringing knives to gun fights, but c'mon. Seriously? Unless you're batman and/or that guy from V for Vendetta, you have no business bringing a knife to a gun fight. Unless it's like a squirt gun fight. Then I'm pretty sure it would be terrifying when some guy comes charging in with a knife… Yeah now that I think about it both knife fights and gun fights seem like pretty bad ideas. Stay in school, kids.
As always, if you have a mediocre fight you'd like to see contact us any way your little heart desires. Leave a comment here, tweet us @MediocreFight, find us on Facebook, shoot us an e-mail at The Mediocre Fight, or buy me enough shots until I pass out then write it on my forehead backwards so I see it the next morning.

By Matthew Elliott, Contributing Reporter
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Striking teachers from the local and state networks held a demonstration on Sunday, August 18th to protest the ultimatum issued by City Hall declaring penalties for those who continued to strike. According to the Military Police (PM), over a thousand educators and their supporters attended the rally, on Copacabanas' Avenida Atlântica, which concluded an acrimonious week between the parties.
The demonstration was organized by the State Union of Education Professionals (SEPE) which originally called the strike on August 8th. It followed last Wednesdays, August 14th, protest in Botafogo which saw an estimated 7,000 participants take to the streets.
SEPE is requesting a nineteen percent wage increase for municipal teachers as well as the direct election of school directors and job security for new hires. On Sunday, protesters mobilized in Leme around 11AM and marched to the Copacabana Fort. No traffic disruption occurred and the event passed peaceably. At the end of the demonstration a miniature replica of governor Sérgio Cabral's coffin was symbolically buried at the beach.
Last week Municipal Secretary of Staff Pedro Carvalho said that an increase of 6.75 percent had already been given to correct payment distortions between municipal teachers and declared; "we have reached a limit, and we see that they will not stop the strike at all. Starting Monday, for those who do not return to the classroom, we will discount the strike days. They will be considered missing and we are evaluating the illegality of the strike and other punishments." Teachers on probationary periods who did not return to work would be fired, he added.
The imposition of an ultimatum angered SEPE, with General Coordinator Ivanete Conceição commenting, "We reject the practice of an advance notice deadline even before a judicial decision on the legality of the strike."
Judge Eduardo Kalusner had previously denied relief from the injunction to the union because the city had not yet announced a cut off point for punishments. Following the ultimatum the union will now undertake further court action to guarantee the right to strike without being penalized beyond an imposed deadline. Industrial action is expected to continue this week with another rally scheduled outside City Hall on Tuesday, August 20th.
State professor Adilson Filho was supportive of the strike and keen to express there is a wider objective. "We would like society to understand that our struggle is not just salary…But against this policy that has transformed classrooms into production lines, dehumanizes education and promotes a climate of competition that only harms the young students."
He was also critical of perceived media coverage. "They leave in the background our legitimate demands and instead stress, as usual, the worsening of traffic in the city," he added.
It is the first time in over twenty years that municipal teachers have gone on strike in the city and the discord transpires amid wider protests that have gripped the nation in the past two months.
Last Monday a group of teachers briefly occupied Guanabara Palace after an unsuccessful meeting there to resolve the dispute. Violent scenes occurred outside when large numbers of unaffiliated protesters, including the Black Bloc anarchist group, arrived to voice their support.

Want to be a great film composer? Learn to be an actor first.
"When people ask me how to become a composer, I say you should go to drama college," said composer John Powell, whose credits include "The Bourne Ultimatum" (and its two predecessors), "Shrek" and "Happy Feet." "Studying drama is what's going to get you everywhere; your ability to understand a story and what music can do to push it, pull it [and] tweak it."
It may be a bit late for the 12 aspiring composers participating in the 21st annual ASCAP Television & Film Scoring Workshop to head back to school — most of them already have advanced degrees in music — but his point on the role music plays in propelling a story forward was well taken.
On July 16, the British-born, Los Angeles-based composer who also scored movies such as "Mr. & Mrs. Smith," "X-Men," "Ice Age" and "Bolt," discussed his background and scoring techniques. However, the red meat was in the lessons he learned along the way.
Never underestimate the power of bluffing, Powell said. "I don't want to tell you there's not a lot of bullshit in this business because there is. It's about your confidence. People are looking for someone to confidently lead them toward completion… If [the music] seems to be wrong, put the brake on and confidently go in another direction, whether you know where you're going or not."
Also, learn how to be a team player, even when it means swallowing your pride. He advised not talking to directors in musical terms, but in their own vocabulary. "On the whole, try not to talk in musical terms [because the director] will be thinking you're a wanker because you know more about music than they do… just make their movie work as well as possible."
That also means always remembering that what works better for the film, even if it means changing your music, is always in your best interest.
"It took me years and years to really see that," he said. By the time he scored the third installment in the "Bourne" series, he'd learned that lesson well. He spent four months on a score, only to have the director decide at the last minute that the temp score, taken from Powell's score for the second Bourne movie, worked much better in about 30% of the movie. "At a certain point, you have to [realize], it's a pragmatic art."
He also spoke of the struggle to stay away from the dubbing stage. "You're not welcome, don't let anyone tell you you are," he said. "I used to go to dubbing stages and could never understand why I didn't work with the same folks twice. I changed agents and she said, 'Jerry Goldsmith never went to the dub; don't ever go to the dub.' You're assaulted by the reality that you're a third of the sounds: there's dialogue, special effects and your music."
Then, after holding forth on the craft and answering questions for nearly two hours, Powell admitted in some ways he had no idea what he was talking about.
"It's magic," he said of the writing process. "I don't know how it works. Exactly how you do this is unknown and you shouldn't know how you do it."

It can be hard to know where to start in daily devotions or quiet times, so here are a few tools to get started with.
We love the Bible at St Mary's and it lies at the heart of all we do, however it is not always the easiest book to read and it helps to have a guide or plan when starting. The Bible is not designed to be read from cover to cover, it is a collection of 66 individual texts telling a story which runs for millennia. Here are some of our favourite Bible reading resources.
YouVersion bible app
This app really is a 'must have'. YouVersion is the world's most popular Bible app.
Not only does YouVersion provide a variety of translations in over a thousand languages but also offers audio versions of the Bible, the ability to highlight and make notes, and over 800 different Bible reading plans! More than enough to get started.
New to the Bible? In this 30 day Bible study Nicky Gumbel works through 30 passages which have impacted him.
Each day includes a reading and an explanation of the passage with practical comments to help relate the Bible to your own life. This book is ideal for those taking the Alpha Course or those exploring the Bible for the first time.
Bible in one year app
The Bible In One Year app covers the entire Bible in twelve months. Each day includes readings from the Old and New Testaments as well as a reflection on a topic or theme from the text.
This is a great way to really dig deep into God's word whilst reading it in manageable chunks.
Prayer plays a central role in the life of any Christian. Below are some prayer resources to help you draw closer to God. People pray in all kinds of ways, from running to meditating, however it is always useful to have some resources on hand with which to get started.
Prayer - Philip Yancey
In this excellent book Philip Yancey asks the question - "What is prayer, and does it make any difference?" The book is laced with amazing true stories of God at work in people's lives and Yancey's characteristically insightful reflections.
If you are new to the idea of praying or seeking to understand its purpose further then this would be a great place to begin.
Thy Kingdom Come is a global prayer movement pioneered by the Archbishops Justin Welby and John Sentamu. The vision is to see the renewal of the nations and the transformation of communities through the power of prayer.
The website is full of exciting ideas for how churches, individuals and families can draw closer to God in prayer.
24-7 prayer
The 24-7 Prayer movement has pioneered a creative approach to prayer. The 24-7 Prayer website is absolutely packed with ways to engage with prayer yourself.
Additionally the books "Red Moon Rising", "God on Mute", and "Dirty Glory" by founder Pete Greig are excellent ways into taking prayer further.

Space Furniture is a pioneer in multi-brand furniture retailing. They tasked us with creating visual experiences for their new 'store of the future' and a distinct visual language for the Space brand.
Our design response for the showroom was large-scale illuminated super-graphics, working in conjunction with Nik Karalis, Woods Bagot. Influenced by Superstudio, Branzi and Pop Art, the image series represents a Utopian city inspired by the futuristic architectural ideals of the 60's and 70's. Imaginary and optical space informed the theme of the second super-graphic that created the effect of an interior of multiple perspectives and levels.
This project also established the on-going use of retro-influenced collage as integral to the Space Furniture graphic vernacular and visual identity.

Launching a small business carries risks and there is no guarantee of success. 20 per cent of new businesses do not make it through their first year and 50 per cent fail within three years.
Don't let this put you off, but be ready for the challenges entrepreneurs face when starting a business. With hard work and awareness of the issues, a new business can be a great success.
Below are some of the most common mistakes new business owners. Bear these in mind as you prepare and plan your new venture to give yourself the best chance of survival and success!
Lack of market research
Researching your intended marketplace, recognising trends and planning to meet its needs are essential. This will prove that your business will be viable and sustainable. It will help you establish a competitive price point pricing and ensure that the return will provide the business with enough cash to continue and develop.
You can access key statistics for your business planning here:- https://apps.geowessex.com/stats/
Inadequate financial planning
Money is the life blood of all businesses. Without sufficient capital the business is unlikely to survive and prosper. You must aim to develop a high quality finance plan as part of your business plan in order to attract and secure the right type and amount of funding.
Ensure that you understand the minimum level of sales required to achieve break-even and allow for unforeseen situations that could have a detrimental effect.
Whilst a business can survive lean times, it cannot survive without cash. Ensure that your plan allows for up cash reserves to be established as soon as possible. This will enable the business to survive harder times or be in a position to invest in new products/services, stock or people to take advantage of a market upturn without having to strain creditors or be dependent on finding external finance under pressure.
It would be a rare thing for new business owners to be able to be expert in every part of their business. Consider using the services of an accountant or financial adviser to complete your finance plan. This will make it more professional, complete and credible, especially if it is to be used as part of your business plan in order to attract external finance.
Unrealistic targets
It is easy to create a plan that shows your new business dominating your chosen marketplace by the end of its first year of trading, but will it actually be able to achieve that? If you forecast that kind of success and you do not achieve it, the credibility of the business will be badly undermined in the eyes of suppliers and customers alike, with serious consequences likely.
You must also be realistic about your market size – what percentage of the market must you take to achieve your forecast? Is that achievable? Be very careful not to spend too much cash on equipment, premises, vehicles, staff etc. in the early days, when the sales have not been established that support these. Make your cashflow and sales forecasts as accurate as possible through detailed analysis and consideration and you will be more likely to avoid such problems.
It can be very tempting to pursue sales volume rather than profit, especially in the early days when trying to get a foothold in the market. You must try to avoid being distracted from the core business at all times. Diversification too early may dilute the strength of the business and increase the chances of failure, through straining resources, cashflow and staff, such that the main thrust of the business is neglected and declines.
Writing a marketing plan will also ensure that you take into account your target customers, your marketing objectives and will help you set goals to address these.
Market intelligence
During the busy start-up phase it can be easy to forget to set aside enough time to monitor the competition. They are quite likely to react to your activities in order to protect their customer base from your approaches. This might include aggressive pricing, but is just as likely to be an additional service or a new product. You need to be abreast of the markets needs for the future and in a position to take advantage of new trends and products.
Make sure that you can gather market intelligence easily through staff, contacts, suppliers and customers and use this in your marketing plan.
Use this along with your market research plan credible targets and deadlines, and allocate appropriate resources to exploit the opportunities you have identified. From this point you can decide who to sell to, how and how much. This will be the basis of your sales plan
Weak supplier & customer controls
Common mistakes for new businesses include setting up unsatisfactory credit arrangements and not taking due care when choosing suppliers. Choose carefully as your business' profitability and reputation could be at stake.
Obtaining your supplies at the right price is crucial, but so is reliability of supply. There is little merit in finding a competitive price point and then being unable to meet customer demand. Your customers are reliant on you as much as you are on your suppliers and trust is vital. Credit check them initially (and regularly in the future) to give an indication of their stability and the reliability of supply. Make sure that you understand their terms and they your needs, and that they can commit to this. Similarly ensure that the pricing structure is fully agreed and will not change suddenly. Consider making the commitment contractual.
Always credit check a new customer, and take up trade references, to make sure they can (and do) pay their bills. Delayed or even non-payment will reduce your cash available to run the business according to commitments to suppliers, banks, HMRC etc. leading in turn to refused orders, funding requests being turned down, heavy fines from the tax authorities. Credit ratings may also be affected, which will make it very difficult to find new suppliers on anything other than a "payment in advance" basis, which will further worsen the cash situation.
Lack of stock & asset management systems
Too much stock will tie up cash unnecessarily and can restrict your ability to trade effectively. This is made worse if the stock becomes obsolete, or goes out of date if perishable, at which point its value is reduced to zero. The ideal is to have the right amount of stock in the right place at the right time, so close monitoring of all movements is vital and a good control system will pay dividends by freeing up cash while still being able to meet demand.
Try to avoid buying too many fixed assets –machinery, vehicles, ICT, fittings etc. – as these will all have a detrimental effect on your capital reserves. Look at alternative methods of acquisition such as leasing, hp, or buying used equipment.
In the early years of your new business, you need to limit drawing on your cash reserves unnecessarily, try to spend cash only on items that are truly necessary for the business to continue.
Hiring the wrong people
The quality of your staff will be central to the success of the business. It is important to understand the skills and character traits required for each role before you recruit. Getting it right could make or break the business. Consider the job requirements – how will you group tasks, what are the time requirements for each, ongoing need or a one-off? From this you can determine whether or not the positions will be full or part time, permanent or temporary, fixed term or contractor?
Using family and friends in the business can be one solution but can throw up as many issues. If they don't have exactly the right mix of skills how much of a compromise can you afford to make? Will they feel they can pressure you into paying more for their services? If something goes wrong and you need to end their employment you may find pressure coming to bear from elsewhere.
The prospect of being independent is often a large part of starting your own business. However, knowing your own limitations and finding the right person for particular roles will be very important. It may be that your business will be based on your skills on the operations side but that will not necessarily make you the best sales person or administrator. Taking on tasks that you may be relatively inexperienced with can produce stress and demotivate you and your staff and possibly even leave your customers feeling that your business is not up to the task.

Hi Experts,
I am newbie, and used Odin to install Kyrillos on to my Samsung galaxy I5801. I have set the .OPs and .tar from the Odin and started the download. Download successfully into the phone, But when i reboot normally, the boot screen goes to infinite loop. I tried wiping the factory data. but no use.
When i go to 'Install from SD Card' to install the Kyrillos rom, that .ZIP file is not visible there.
So, I am stuck in between, and unfortunately i didnt take a back up.
Can any one of you please provide me the Root .ZIP file which should be used, so that i can download that directly on to the SD card, and boot it from there.
thanking you .
I have a strange bug. It appears in menu when I select any option in it.
For example I use ADW Launcher. When I open his preferences and then select any option I see that new window shows on previous window.
Can anyone confirm this?
Here is the screenshot
First off a big thank you for this rom, i got tired of my phone and now i don't have to buy a new one cause this feels new
However i ran into a problem and after reading nearly all related posts i still haven't found any good solution.
I was on holiday (greece FTW) and could get on any networks there, with the original soft i had no problem, so i doubt it's sim related problem. It seems like the roaming option is disabled, and no matter what settings I tried it didn't help anything. Does anyone have any idea how to resolve this?
EDIT: In the meantime I updated to V9.6 with 2.3 OC kernell, tho I can't test if the roaming is working atm since my holiday is over
the rom however is running smoothly, had no other problems so far.

Can't get ClockworkMod (CWM) recovery for your MediaTek device?
Getting a locally branded smartphone neither a tablet relatively gets a low number of developer for our device, that's why most android users can't really enjoy much of there devices. But thanks to XDA developers who contributed a lot to MediaTek device development, we at least solve some of our problems like getting root and porting a custom recovery like ClockworkMod for our own devices.
Going back to your problem, if you can't find a good resolution to your problem of getting a CWM recovery ported for your device, now, I have a way to fix your problem. Even though I have created an article previously regarding how to flash CWM recovery to any device with root-required, this article that I will show you does not require you root access anymore which is great!
You can create / make your own CWM recovery to any of your MediaTek device!Well, with this guide that I will provide you, you will learn how to make your own and flash ClockworkMod (CWM) recovery to any of your MediaTek devices. All you have to do is to carefully follow the steps so you can successfully do it well without problems.
How To make your own CWM Recovery and flash it without rooting your MTK android device using MTK Droid Tools and SP Flash Tool.
- Any MediaTek android device with ext4 type of block (rooted or not rooted, it doesn't matter):
MT6595, MT6592, MT6589, MT6582, MT6577, MT6575, MT6572, MT65xx
- computer running Windows operating system
- USB Cable
- MTK USB Drivers - Download here recommended
- MTK Droid Root and Tools - Get it here
- SP Flash Tool - Get it here (download the recommended or latest version)
- Scatter File for your MediaTek android device - Get it here
- Stock Boot image - if you don't have one, follow my separate guide how to get stock boot image
First, you have to prepare all necessary requirements and place it to the location where you are comfortable with. Download and install the MTK USB Drivers, wait for it to close itself because it includes 6 kinds of MTK USB drivers. Also, extract MTK Droid Tools to where you want it. You also need the scatter file for your device, you can easily make it yourself by just following the guide from the link and most importantly, make sure that you have your stock boot image for your device which we will use for creating the CWM recovery. If you don't have it, you have to follow the link above.
Make sure that USB Cable is disconnected or unplugged. Open MTK Droid Tools.exe (run as administrator) and go to root, backup, recovery tab. (if UBIFS warning appeared in the status message, this process will not work for you. Only ext4 supported.)
From the root, backup, recovery tab, the radio button To choose the boot.img file was selected by default. All you have to do is click on Recovery and Boot button.
After clicking Recovery and Boot button, a new windows will appear asking where is your existing boot.img. In my case, I placed it on my Tools folder. Now, select and open the boot.img of your android device.
Wait a few seconds and a prompt asking To make CWM recovery automatically will appear. Click YES.
Wait for the task to get completed, read the status messages on the right pane. If the task was successful, go to MTK Droid Tools -- recovery folder to check if the patching was done well. There will be two files, first is the patched boot image and the second is the recovery image which is the ClockworkMod (CWM) recovery.
Now that you have the CWM recovery already, we will proceed to flashing it through SP Flash Tool. Why? if you don't have root access, then use SP Flash Tool, otherwise if you are already rooted, use mobile uncle to update your recovery image.
To flash CWM recovery without rooting your android device, open SP Flash Tool.exe (run as administrator). Click on Scatter-loading, then find and open the Scatter file of your android device.
Now, the regions of your device will be loaded. You are only to flash the CWM recovery that you made earlier so click on Recovery. Navigate to MTK Droid Tools -- recovery folder and select the recovery image which is the CWM recovery that we have made earlier.
Wait for the download to be done. If done, it will look like the image below:
To verify if you have successfully flashed CWM Recovery on your unrooted android device, unplug or disconnect the USB Cable from your device and try to reboot to recovery (use the combo keys or rebooter app).

Elongate fibres of alkali feldspar intergrown with cristobalite which have nucleated and grown outwards from both sides of a linear fracture within rhyolitic glass. The fibres, which can be seen clearly only by using a petrological microscope, grow in the solid state during devitrification of the rhyolite glass, the linear fracture acting as the axis and nucleation point for crystals defining the structure.

Looks like Aircel and ICICI Bank have realized the potential of mobile banking. The two have joined hands to launch Mobile Money & Mobile Banking service. The service operates on Visa's Mobile Managed Service that hosts and manages the Mobile Money platform. This will prove to be a major time and resource saver for Aircel, which will mean instant, secure money transfers and easy bill payment services.
The service stresses more towards bank deprived areas of the country, where it is hard to manage finances such as reliability of intermediaries, distances of formal banking infrastructures, legitimate KYC and financial illiteracy.
The Mobile Money service will offer various financial services on a mobile phone such as cash deposits and cash withdrawals, money transfer to third parties, self-top-up of prepaid mobile credit and various other utility bill payments. The best thing is The Mobile Money is, the service is going to be instant and will require, no data connection.
Rajiv Sabharwal, Executive Director of ICICI Bank said, "ICICI Bank has been leveraging technology to provide conveniently accessible banking services in line with its financial inclusion initiative. The launch of Mobile Money is a part of this strategy, which will enable the Bank to provide reliable banking services through retail outlets of Aircel. These far-flung retail outlets will take the basic banking services to the doorsteps of the customers".
The Mobile Money service will first be available in Chennai, Tamil Nadu and will gradually be extended to other regions of the country.

The Telegraph is reporting that Woolrich murder suspect Michael Abedolajo walked into court on June 3 with a smile, kissed the Koran at one point, and "appeared to blow a kiss to a relative in the public gallery."
They also report that he asked to be called Mujaahid Abu Hamza–the name he took upon converting to Islam in 2003/2004.
When he kissed the Koran, he allegedly raised his arm and someone in the gallery kissed a Koran as well.
When asked to rise he remained seated, allegedly stating that if he was supposed to stand he would sit.
Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale are both charged with the murder of British soldier Lee Rigby on May 22. While Adebolajo appeared before the magistrate in person, Adebowale appeared via video link. Both men will appear in person for a hearing on June 28.
There is no bail and therefore no chance for release between now and then.

Politifact: Paul Krugman's "Fiscal Phony" Assessment of Chris Christie is True
June 4, 2012 Leave a comment Go to comments
Krugman in his NYT column: "There have been some job gains in the McMansion State since Mr. Christie took office, but they have lagged gains both in the nation as a whole and in New York and Connecticut, the obvious points of comparison."
Politifact compares statements made by Christie's spokesman and the jobs stats, and finds the Princeton-based economist's statements to be accurate. Job growth is indeed lagging behind the national average. In addition to the slow rate of growth, unemployment in NJ is at 9.1% (April, Bureau of Labor) while the national average is at 8.1%.
Heh. "McMansion State." Methinks Paul Krugman is a Redditor.

The long wait is over. Now that the Apple iPad is available, a lot of Mac-lovers have excitedly gotten their hands on Apple's newest product. Featuring the Apple trademark of clean, simple lines, a LED display, Wi-Fi and 3G, the Apple iPad has already become the techie toy to beat.
But, like all Apple products before it, this Apple tablet is best enjoyed if you enhance it with all the latest accessories. With over a hundred different add-ons to the iPad available all over the world, it's easy to waste money on accessories that don't deliver what they promise. To make it easier for you to pimp your Apple iPad, we're listing down and describing only the best ones below.
1. The Apple iPad Keyboard Dock. Although you can type straight on the iPad's screen, a keyboard can make composing documents and editing presentations much easier. The official Apple iPad Keyboard Dock allows you to prop up your iPad at the proper angle, much like a laptop screen. It runs on the iPad's battery and acts like a normal Apple keyboard, with all the function keys intact. Its major drawback, however, is that it doesn't allow you to prop up the iPad horizontally and that it doesn't provide attachments for a mouse–you'd have to still use the iPad's screen to perform a lot of functions.
2. The Official Camera Connection Kit for the iPad. Many people bemoaned the iPad's lack of USB ports, things that could have been easily included. There's no need to fret, though, the official Camera Connection Kit allows you to download and import photos and videos from your digital camera either through a USB connector or via memory card. You might also want to experiment with other USB-ready devices, since, as it turns out, Skype headsets and USB keyboards can work with the iPad Camera Connection Kit. There are no hiccups experienced with this accessory, although older cameras (those manufactured before 2005) have been reported to have problems connecting with it.
3. Trendy Digital Waterproof iPad Cover. People might think that buying a waterproof cover for an Apple iPad is impractical. But if you're the type who travels a lot and likes to use his techie toy in the beach or near water, then this accessory is for you. The Trendy Digital Waterproof Cover keeps your Apple tablet safe, dry and free from dust, sand and other elements. The cover is made from flexible, soft vinyl with a double-zip enclosure plus a Velcro lock. A nylon cord is also included so you can keep your Apple iPad safe on your chest. The cover allows you to easily use all of the iPad's functions and watch movies and videos clearly. The only downside to this product is that it sometimes leaves smears on your iPad when you take it out of the case.
4. Ten One Design Pogo Sketch Stylus. Say goodbye to finger prints, smudges and accidentally touched keys with the Ten One Design Pogo Sketch Stylus. Probably one of the most practical iPad accessories available today, this special stylus can make drawing, sketching and navigating through your Apple iPad easier and more enjoyable. Featuring a modern, aluminum base, the Pogo Sketch Stylus easily glides on the iPad's screen, giving you more control over your strokes and input on your iPad.
5. M-Edge Leather Moleskin Case. One of the most elegant iPad accessories out in the market today, this exquisite case features an elegant leather sleeve in an assortment of colors. A strap holds your beloved Apple iPad in place, while a cover keeps the screen protected. This beautiful case makes your iPad look like a traveler's journal or a book and is one of the most popular iPad accessories around.
With the long list of iPad accessories available worldwide, there is a huge chance of buying something you don't really need. Let the list above help you decide which accessory is the best and most practical for you and your Apple iPad.
