Last weekend I taught a memoir workshop at the West Hollywood Book Festival. It's my second year doing so and it's one of my favorite gigs. The class overflows with enthusiastic attendees who are smart and ask great questions. One recurring question in most of my workshops is, "Are you liable if you write a memoir about a mean family member or unfortunate childhood situation?" In light of all the attention given to the exaggerations and falsehoods in James Frey's memoir, A Million Little Pieces, many people have begun to suspect memoir writers as a group, but I would like to set things straight.
The truth is when you write memoir, you are writing your truth as you remember it. It is no one else's truth. It's your own. You can be sued by a family member, but they might not be able to win the suit. They need to prove that what you wrote is a lie and often this is very difficult to do. When writing memoir, in either the short or long form, the best advice is to be as honest as possible. As I mentioned in last week's blog, our memories are not reliable and they tend to play tricks on us.
If Frey would have just written a caveat in the beginning of his book attesting to this, chances are he would have not received all the negative PR that he did. Most memoir instructors, myself included, will tell you that often times, the act of writing will help you remember and that's why I am such an advocate of keeping a journal. It is a place to practice your writing. In her book, Fearless Confessions, my colleague, Sue William Silverman coined a term, 'memory truth,' where she identifies memories as completely subjective. She says, "While it's not acceptable to make up facts willy-nilly when writing about your life, it is acceptable to convey your individual version of events—your memory-truth." I cannot agree more with this sentiment. This is great advice, particularly if you have already decided to head down the road to writing your memoir.


text: Dear Families, My name is Izabela, I'm 24 years old and I´m coming from Poland, the north-side beach resort called Sopot. I've spent 2 wonderful years in Madrid, Spain working as an Aupair. I was taking care of kids in the age of 6-months, after that of 4 and 6 year-old siblings and 11-year old twins. And since my mom is a kindergarten teacher, it´s something I grew up with and I feel comfortable with children. Currently I'm studying International Relations in Poland, but since I love to travel I would love to discover new culture, people, cuisine and new places so I could experience my break from studies in the best way and enjoy Summer 2016. My English is very good (C1 level) my Spanish is basic. My mother-tongue is Polish. I have graduated music school so I play piano. I am also a real fan of good movies, literature. I also like to cook. I am open minded, creative, calm and a very social person hence I care about free weekends. This Summer I would like also like to bring my sister along; her English is fluent, she's also experienced in babysitting and she's a very kind, 23-year-old girl, so I'm looking for 2 lovely families in the same zone. Please contact me via e-mail or whatsapp, cheers! :-)

Customer Reviews:
Horrrible controls!!!!, November 11, 2002
Reviewer: Brad from FL United States
The story line is your basic renegade cop. The graphics are good. The controls however are horrible!!! You can't control your aim, you have to pull the left trigger to automatically lock onto a target, thus if there are multiple enemies around you have to click the left trigger then fire, click the left trigger then fire,... repeatedly. It would have been a lot better to have a crosshair and move it with the right thumbstick. To me this game is unplayable. Get Max Payne instead it is the same basic plot and a great game!!!
Not even worth the rental, November 3, 2002
Reviewer: xx001a45 from Tampa, FL
Extra Extra
Corey Hart breaks out and becomes a cop with his sunglasses at night..,.,
So the folks at Namco played Max Payne and thought, we can do better, so here it is! I rented this at block buster and played it for about 4.2 minutes. The controls are too complicated for a shooter. I found myself once again putting in Halo to cleanse myself of that garbage. It makes sense that nobody has rated this game because it is so bad it doesn't merit a review. Why am I doing this you ask only to say I now have a stack of games but only Halo is worth the replay.
Only Gimmicks, October 19, 2002
Reviewer: Nate
The game is all aobut the gimmicks and that is its only star. the same is way too difficult to even try and get past the second board. i rented it for a week and played it once i also rented blinx and found it was one of the best platformers ever. don't play this game play halo or max payne. unless u r interested in gimicks
Frustration galore, October 18, 2002
Reviewer: hbj200 from New York, NY USA
Today is the 4th day I've had this game on rental from Blockbuster, and no doubt about it, it's way too frustrating to be fun. The graphics is good, the storyline stupid but tolerable, and lurking somewhere you can sense a fun factor, but the difficulty and insanely unpredictable controls make this game sadistically unpleasant to play. A total letdown.
Another thing that pisses me off is, this is a time exclusive title for the Xbox. While it's nice to have an Xbox-only game even if just for a few months, this game is so poorly programmed that I'm thinking we Xbox fans are being used as guinea pigs. If the PS2 version plays better than this one, I'll never buy another Namco game again.
What a disappoinment, October 16, 2002
Reviewer: John Weiland from Verona, PA United States
This game had the potional to be a great game, but it flopped. This game isnt worth [the price], maybe a nice [lower] price .... Game is loaded with problems from gliches to problems with viewing angels. Game seems like it was made by Helen Keller, by the angels you have the view the game in the fights scenes with. But this game is like crack its not good but you keep wanting more of it.
Great Action Game, October 11, 2002
Reviewer: Randall Fordham from Atlanta, GA
I have to admit when I first starting playing this game it took a while for me to get use to the controls. But, after you get use to them the game gets to be great. I really like the action scenes. It really gets you caught up in all the aciton. A lot of people try to compare this one with Max Payne. Other than the cool diving in slow motion and shooting people that's about it. This game goes a step further. First it has the one on one combat then you get use all the cool weapons. The camera angles can get kind of funky but, other than that the game really rocks. Oh yeah, you also get to use his dog shadow when things get out of hand. I nice touch if I say so myself.
Great game, but with a few flaws that shouldn't be there., October 9, 2002
Reviewer: A gamer from Texas
I think that the game is awesome, great graphics, great story line, great slow-motion action, but the in game character speach, could use some work, well, actully, they could atleast make it so the characters actully move there mouths when they talk. But other than that, the game rocks!
Gameboy, October 9, 2002
Reviewer: A gamer from New York, NY United States
Let me put it this way. There are four bad guys in a room. You get to dive on the bad guy in the middle while shooting the one next to him in slow motion, and -using his own weapon- disarm the now-without-backup dude with a cool move and immediately turn him into a human shield to protect yourself while killing the third guy behind him. At the end, before getting rid of the now useless human shield guy with one shot in the head, you will let your dog Shadow kill the fourth guy.
You might think that this should be an easy game then. No way! Try playing the same almost-impossible zone for three times just because you could not pick the freaking lock at the end. Your hands will sweat while trying to pick the lock the fourth time. This game is a masterpiece. It has a lot common with Max Payne, it is only simply way better.
Dead to Rights, October 7, 2002
Reviewer: MTD from Phoenix, Arizona United States
This game is just plain awesome. That is all I have to say. The graphics are great (not the best the Xbox can show) but otherwise are good. The diving forward in slow motion while shooting guys move never gets old. This game is difficult at times but is stilling fun and action packed. By playing this game it makes me want to keep going and going and keep trying and trying. This is not my favorite game of all time (which is Grand Theft Auto 3) but is definetly worth the money. If you want to play long, fun, cool game with a challenge than buy this.
Good Game - A Little Monotonous, October 3, 2002
Reviewer: A gamer from Chicago, IL United States
Good game - I had no problem with the controls. The auto-targeting feature will actual turn the character around for you making it easier to shoot subjects not in the direct field of view. Games get a lot worse than this but make no mistake about it - this is a Max Payne type game with much more violence, less plot, and more difficult. Sometimes the difficulty gets overwhelming but it is manageable if you are patient. Some levels I had to try 20 times to get past them which some people would view as excessive. I thought games were supposed to be challenging - sounds like many people want games they can breeze through in the few hours. There are standard ways to get through each level with practice.
Didnt like the lack of plot. Didnt like the number of people you had to constantly kill - it felt like a gauntlet a huge mass of people constantly come at you from every direction.

Sci-Fi: "Meltdown" : Earth's orbit decays after asteroid near miss
Here's a scenario for "global warming." What if the orbit of Earth were slowly deteriorating, edging closer to the sun by 1% a year, and "they just weren't telling us"? That's practically the premise of the Sci-Fi channel's "Meltdown: Days of Destruction" with some minor league remedial work for actor Casper Von Dien. The director is John Murlowski, and it is written by Rick Drew. There are stories that John Carpenter had written this story ahead of time, and that there were some legal wrangles before this cable movie got made. If true, this movie may provide an object lesson in why Hollywood studios enforce a "third party rule" on loglines and unsolicited spec screenplay submissions.
Actually, what happens is that a huge asteroid, a couple hundred miles across (Ceres has a diameter of over 400 miles) approaches earth. The fibbies knock it off course with a nuke (an break off some of it as if it were a worn tooth crown), but the gravitation changes the orbit of Earth. It starts warming up, by about 30 degrees Fahrenheit everywhere. "They do tell us" after a few days, and the president declares martial law.
The rest of the movie is an attempted escape from LA "to the North," which might not work since global warming affects polar latitudes a lot more than temperate, melting ice caps and rising sea levels. Will the gravity of the other planets pull Earth back into position?
I don't know whether the "science" here is plausible. This is a good question for a college physics class.
Curiously, the script makes reference to the film "Deep Impact" (1998, Touchstone) which was about a comet strike.

The First Episcopal Appointment of Pope Benedict XVI
. . .is Msgr Raymond Centène, Chancellor of the Diocese of Perpignan. The notice of the appointment of Msgr Centène as bishop of Vannes is on the Vatican's website here. If the early word about Msgr Centène is accurate this is extremely good news. Example: this link is to the website of the journal Kephas. The page linked shows the editorial board. The second name is that of Msgr Centène. Kephas is the French language journal of the Priestly Fraternity of St Peter. Other good things are being rumored here in the recusant corner of the Church. Indications are good. But, as always, we shall see. . . .

Early historyEdit
Phaidon was founded in Vienna in 1923 as a history and art-book publisher. The founders, Dr Bela Horovitz and Ludwig Goldscheider named the company Phaidon (the German form of Phaedo) after Phaedo of Elis, a pupil of Socrates, to reflect their love of classical antiquity and culture. Their first titles were on literature, philosophy and history. Phaidon's large-format art books first emerged in 1937 with the issue of high quality plates on works by Vincent van Gogh, Sandro Botticelli, and the French Impressionists. They successfully achieved their goal of beautifully designed yet affordable books by pioneering the international co-edition and doing large print runs.[3][4]
Move to England and revivalEdit
To avoid the effects of the Nazi annexation of Austria, Horovitz and Goldscheider moved their company to England in the late 1930s. In 1950, Phaidon published what would become one of the most influential titles in the art world and the best selling art book of all times.[5] The Story of Art by Ernst Gombrich has, since its publication in 1950, sold more than 7 million copies[5] and been translated into more than 20 languages.[6]
Following the sudden death of Horovitz in 1955, Phaidon was held at the helm by his son-in-law, Harvey Miller. A decade later in 1967, it was acquired by Encyclopædia Britannica. From 1974 to 1981, Phaidon was owned by Elsevier, when it was sold in a management buyout. It started to decline until it was acquired by entrepreneur Richard Schlagman in 1990.
Schlagman's goal was to return Phaidon to its original values of affordable, high quality publications. His program – which included new books, new editions, and a larger business operation – led to rapid growth and helped re-establish Phaidon as the premier publisher of the creative arts in content, design, and production.[7]
The design team at Phaidon played a key role in the company's success. Schlgmann brought in renowned designer Alan Fletcher to be the creative lead. In 1998 Fletcher hired the young German designer Julia Hasting[8], who changed the course and began focusing on conceptual book design, emphasizing the art book as an object. This approach was also translated into the architecture and photography books, as well as the cookery program[9].
In 1995 Iwona Blazwick conceived Phaidon's Contemporary Artists Series, a series of monographs on influential and emerging contemporary artists dubbed by Artforum as "The boldest, best executed, and most far-reaching publishing project devoted to contemporary art".[10]
In 2009, Phaidon acquired the film magazine Cahiers du cinéma.
In 2005, the editorial director of Phaidon Press, Emilia Terragni, worked on the translation of the Silver Spoon (Il cucchiaio d'argento) from its native Italian into English. The book sold more than a million copies[11] and quickly became an international bestseller thrusting Phaidon into cookery publishing and extending its reputation beyond its traditional subject areas.
Following the success of Silver Spoon, Terragni, dubbed as "Phaidon's Queen of Cookbooks" by the Wall Street Journal,[12] went on to match top photographers and designers with some of the biggest names in modern gastronomy. Some of its most notable books were written by the chefs from the World's 50 Best Restaurants including Andoni Luis Aduriz of Mugaritz, Magnus Nilsson of Fäviken and all three #1 winners: Noma's Rene Redzepi, elBulli's Ferran Adrià, and most recently[vague] Osteria Francescana's Massimo Bottura.
Phaidon was purchased by Leon Black and family in 2012 with the long term plan of ensuring its continued position as the leading publisher of the visual arts, cookery, and children books.[13]
Based in London and New York City, Phaidon has offices in Paris, Berlin, Madrid, Milan and Tokyo. With over 1500 titles in print, Phaidon sells its books in over 100 countries and publishes them in English, French, Spanish, Japanese and German.

1750 - 2100 masl
Washed / Natural
La Libertad, Huehuetenango
Bourbon, Caturra, Pacamara
Renardo Ovalle Vides
January - March
April - June
Las Terrazas is situated in the middle of a limestone valley in la Libertad, Huehuetenango. The valley creates a stable microclimate, protecting the farm from extreme weather conditions. This, along with the chalky soils contributes to the dense, syrupy body, and pronounced malic acidity in the cup. Coffee grows at up to 2100 masl here, giving the cup a very refined acidity and floral characteristics. Las Terrazas was purchased by Renardo Ovalle Vides in 2012, with the intention of growing different varietals such as SL28, pacas, pacamara, typical and geisha. Renardo has also been experimenting with honey and natural processing, and has built a parabolic drier in order to create a clean cup in the humid conditions.
Large parts of the farm are protected areas of wild forest, much of which is used to prevent soil erosion and reduce the plants exposure to winds. This is based on a permaculture model, with the intention of sustainability and respect for the environment, to try and recreate coffee's natural habitat in high altitude forests.
We have 6 lots available, representing small lots from around the farm. The 5 washed lots of coffee were fermented in tiled reservoirs for 18 hours before being washed and graded in channels. After grading the coffee was soaked in tanks for 12 hours.
There is also a traditional natural processed lot - FSC-1186 - that was dried on patio beds.

WASHINGTON -- NAFTA is out, USMCA is in.
President Trump formally announced a new trade deal with Mexico and Canada Monday morning.
Here's some of what's in the new deal:
The deal reached Sunday gives farmers greater access to the Canadian dairy market, a big win for the Trump administration.
Mexico and Canada will also get protections if the U.S. goes through with plans to impose tariffs on vehicles and auto parts.
The NAFTA dispute-resolution process will also be kept in the new deal.
The deal also upgrades environmental and labor regulations, meaning Mexican workers must have greater ability to unionize. The trucks that come from Mexico also have to abide by higher environmental standards.
U.S. drug companies will also now be able to sell products in Canada for 10 years before facing competition from generics, up from eight years.
President Trump, however, says he is not hopeful the next deal will be approved by Congress in the next year, saying 2020 election politics could hold up passage.
This is a developing story. Check back for the latest.

CoreLogic keeps data on cash sales as a percentage of all home sales. In June, the number was an extraordinary 29.3% nationwide. Some states have numbers much higher than that. In New York state, the figure is 45.3%
The national number is approaching housing bubble levels:
Prior to the housing crisis, the cash sales share of total home sales averaged approximately 25 percent. If the cash sales share continues to fall at the same rate it did in June 2016, the share should hit 25 percent by mid-2018.
Following New York, the largest percentages by state in June were Alabama (44.6%), Florida (40.6%), Oklahoma (38.6%) and Indiana (35.7%).
The cash sales level among states is highest in one of the cities with the cheapest housing prices: Detroit-Dearborn-Livonia, Michigan, had the highest cash sales share at 56.5%.
The balance of the top cities were cities crushed by the housing bubble implosion: West Palm Beach-Boca Raton-Delray Beach, Florida, (49.3%), Miami-Miami Beach-Kendall, Florida, (47.9%), North Port-Sarasota-Bradenton, Florida, (47.7%) and Cape Coral-Fort Myers, Florida, (46.1%).

Made only in exceptional years, this wine is a very limited production.
Terroir: A similar terroir to that of Chenas, this is a very small production wine of four separate parcels with vines averaging 65 years old, but with many over 100 years.
Vinification: Grapes are vinified separately until time for the final blending and bottling. The must is macerated in temperature controlled stainless steel vats for 12-15 days and then aged for 12-14 months in a combination of new and used oak casks.
Serious nose of concentrated black fruits. Impressive and inviting. Seductive black fruits woven with violets. Gorgeous velvety texture.

Holliston's 'Moon Tree'
If you have ever noticed the beautiful American Sycamore tree growing outside the Police Station, it is "The Holliston Moon Tree."
Publishers' Note: This article was contributed by Walter Thornton - a man who enjoys golf and trees (not at the same time).
If you have ever noticed the beautiful American Sycamore tree growing outside the Police Station, it is "The Holliston Moon Tree."
On January 31, 1971, Apollo 14 lifted off with astronauts Edgar Mitchell, Alan Shepard, and Stuart Roosa. This crew is most widely remembered as the ones who played golf on the Moon.
While Shepard and Mitchell were on the lunar surface, Roosa orbited the moon. In Roosa's personal gear were hundreds of tree seeds. Roosa had previously worked for the U.S. Forest Service and he wanted to know what effect space travel would have on seed germination.
Upon returning to earth the seeds were planted and indeed sprouted. Each state received two seedlings that sprouted from the 'moon' seeds. Holliston was selected to receive one to help celebrate the town's 250th anniversary and the other sapling went to Pembroke.
Holliston's first sapling did not survive its trip from Mississippi where the seeds had germinated. NASA quickly sent another seedling which arrived just in time for the town's 250th celebration.
The Holliston Garden Club was chosen to be the custodian of this prized specimen. The club decided it was too fragile to plant outside and sent it to Weston Nursery to mature. During the 250th ceremony, a 'body double' was planted while the NASA tree got stronger. This proved to be a wise choice for two reasons: Pembroke's sapling died within 18 months of arriving in the New England climate, AND the Holliston 'double' was stolen just six days after it was planted!!
When Holliston's moon tree was hardy enough to survive the weather, it was planted at the Police Station and a fence was erected around it. Also, a plaque identifying the 'moon tree' was placed at the base of the tree. It has since disappeared. The Holliston Garden Club will be replacing the plaque on Arbor Day 2019.
The plans for the new Police Station built in 2008, put the tree in the middle of the planned driveway. It was safely moved to its current location.
The moon trees were not affected by their space travel but, like any tree, many have succumbed to nature and only a few dozen have survived.
Holliston is fortunate to still have one of those original 450 seedlings. There may be a photo op for local photographers – an evening shot of the moon through the branches of our 'Moon Tree.'
Publishers' Note: This article was contributed by Walter Thornton - a man who enjoys golf and trees (not at the same time).
Does anybody seriously still think we actually landed on the moon? If you look up "moon landing fake" on YouTube there is irrefutable evidence that the government faked it. There is a globalist agenda to sterilize the male population through excessive soy consumption and feminism. We need to resist BIG SOY's efforts to infiltrate our strong American community.

For the first time in decades, a woman has been appointed ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran. She is Marzieh Afkham<\/a><\/strong>, 50-year-old diplomat with a political career of over 30 years, embodies a real turning point in\u00a0the Asian country's history. From the 1979 revolution, men have always been appointed similar charges.<\/p>\n
<\/iframe><\/div>\n
The decision has been announced on 8 November by Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif: \u201cAfkham will represent our country in Malaysia\u201d. Since 2013, when the moderate President Hassan Rohani was elected, the diplomat served as spokeswoman of the Foreign Minister. "Choosing Afkham as ambassador took a few minutes but choosing her successor took four months,\u201d Zarif said.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
The Minister also explained that the diplomat \u201chad carried out her duties for two years with dignity, bravery and particular insight,\u201d whilst the Iranian diplomacy was an international focus. According to Zarif, this choice demonstrates the \u201ctrust in women\u201d and represents an occasion of progress for the Iranian society.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
<img class="size-full wp-image-66359" src="\/app\/uploads\/Hassan-Rohani-Iran1.jpg" alt="NEW YORK, NY - SEPTEMBER 28: President of Iran Hassan Rouhani addresses the United Nations General Assembly at U.N. headquarters on September 28, 2015 in New York City. The ongoing war in Syria and the refugee crisis it has spawned are playing a backdrop to this years 70th annual General Assembly meeting of global leaders.

 <\/p>\n
In the aftermath of his election, Rohani in fact asked his ministers not to choose exclusively men for leading positions. He also previously declared to consider gender equality a key point of his mandate<\/a><\/strong>: \u201cDiscrimination\u00a0against women\u00a0will not be tolerated,\u201d he said in April 2014.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
However, there\u2019s still a long way to go. Indeed, Iran\u2019s law is way too far from \u201cequal opportunity\u201d, such as for marriage, divorce, and inheritance. Women are allowed to be elected in parliament, but they cannot be lawyers or run for for the election of the\u00a0president of the republic.<\/p>\n

Special Reports
Getting their kicks: Hale family uses soccer to stay close and stay fit
Jeff Hale said he and his wife, Janet, don't force the idea of staying fit on their children. But with all four of their children playing soccer, they don't really have to.
It just comes naturally.
Jeff Hale is an assistant coach for the girls soccer team at Stratford Academy, and his three daughters, Lauren, Allie and Katie, all play for the team. Janet Hale is present at the Stratford games, as well, and their son, Jeffery, also is active in soccer, playing in youth leagues.
"We don't necessarily put a big emphasis on (fitness), but we want the kids to keep busy and get out there running around and being active," Jeff Hale said. "Being sedentary isn't a good thing, and in today's lifestyle, everybody's sitting around watching TV and playing video games. We don't want that. We want them out having some activities, and getting out and running around is good, and soccer certainly helps with all that.
"Soccer helps make that part of it easy for our family as far as staying fit, and with me coaching, it is also nice to be able to spend time with the family."
Jeff Hale said the family's venture into soccer started with his wife. Janet Hale, he said, played youth soccer and wanted her children to play, as well. Lauren Hale started when she was 4 years old and enjoyed it, and the two Hale twins, Katie and Allie, started out young, also.
Jeffery Hale, who is in the fourth grade, played some soccer when he was young but then tried football and track and field. He has just started playing soccer again this year.
"I think he grew up on the soccer fields too much," Jeff Hale said with a laugh. "He wanted to try some different things, but he finally came to us this year and said he wanted to play soccer again."
The game has become a year-round activity for the family. In addition to the Stratford team and Jeffery Hale's U10 team, the Hale children play at the Macon Soccer Club, and during the winter, they play indoor soccer. In the summer, there are numerous camps for them to attend.
"There's a lot of endurance involved in it because a game is like a seven-mile run," Lauren Hale said. "I like all of us playing because it helps keep us close. Because if Allie and Katie did a different sport and Jeffery did a different sport, I wouldn't get to see them nearly as much. My mom's at all my games, and if she's not, she's at one of their games, and it helps keep us all close."
That closeness has certainly paid off for the Stratford soccer team. Lauren Hale is a junior captain for the team, and she has scored seven goals and recorded 11 assists this season. Allie Hale and Katie Hale are freshmen, but Allie Hale leads the team with 31 goals, and she also has six assists, while Katie Hale has five goals and five assists.
Stratford has a 11-5-1 record this season.
"(Playing together) is good because it helps us get along with each other better, and we can keep pushing each other harder in the games," Allie Hale said. "Normally you won't be able to tell your teammate, 'You've gotta work on this harder or work on that,' but we can tell each other that, and we can help each other play our best game."
Jeff Hale works with the goalkeepers for the Stratford team, so he doesn't work directly with his daughters that much during practices. He also works with his son's U10 team, and through it all, the family stays close and fit together through the game.
"Even when they start at 4 years old, they're running and chasing, and that's good for them," Jeff Hale said. "You have to try to design practices so there's not much sedentary time. When the kids are young, if they're standing around, they're gonna get in trouble or get bored. You want to make it where they're constantly moving and constantly doing something and being active.
"Plus, if you make the practices based around activities, and not so much drills, you can make it fun for them and keep them interested in it and make them want to keep coming back."

One of the great features of torrent archives is that they may contain multiple files. While you may want to download all files usually, you may encounter situations from time to time where you only need to download some, or even only one file that is in the archive.
This can be the case if you have downloaded individual files before, and need only some of the files of the new torrent file to complete a set or collection. Or, that different versions of the same file are offered, for instance a video file in different resolutions, so that you may want to pick one of the resolutions to avoid downloading the video multiple times.
That's where the skipping option comes into play. Once you have added the torrent to the uTorrent client, either directly if you have added a torrent or after downloading metadata if it was a magnet link, you will see all files that are part of the archive when you select the torrent file in the client.
Each file is listed with its name, size, done percentage and other information that you may find useful.
To skip files, simply select them under the Files tab in the uTorrent interface, right-click afterwards on the selection, and select the "don't download" option from the context menu that appears.
The priority of those files is changed to skip, and you will notice that the files won't be downloaded anymore. Any download that has already started is automatically stopped when you select that option.
If you have made an error here, you may want to unskip files so that the downloading is resumed. What you may notice is that there is no option available to do so, at least not an obvious one such as a resume button.
There is stop, pause and start, the previously mentioned don't download option available in the right-click context menu, but that's it.
So how do you resume file downloads that you have skipped in uTorrent?
Simple: you right-click the files and select a priority for them. Just select normal, high or low to resume the download.
Please note that current versions of uTorrent do not refresh the download rate at all for skipped and then resumed downloads. It is simply not displayed.
You will however notice that the done percentage and size goes up eventually, so that you can be certain that downloads have been resumed.Advertisement

The IFAA Executive is aware the current financial situation of the DFBV and we are confident that the team dealing with the negotiations and restructuring of the DFBV are competent and committed to the process.
The process of restructuring will take time and during this process the DFBV will remain a member of the IFAA and pay its annual membership fee.
The DFBV is therefore in no danger of losing IFAA membership or of being suspended.
German archers, who are in good standing with the DFBV, can therefor continue to participate in all IFAA sanctioned tournaments.
We hope that German archers will remain true to their association, who has given them many well organised tournaments over the years, and we look forward to welcome all of you to our sanctioned tournaments.

Settling into the Unsettling
In the year to two years after I graduated college, I remember saying the phrase below at least three thousand times:
I feel like I'm in middle school again.
I felt unsettled in my new stage. Almost like a baby giraffe wobbling as it tries to walk on its long noodle-like legs, I felt visibly unstable as I mapped out step after unstable step.
I was navigating new terrain and the stability of working toward the pinnacle of exiting the scholastic world for the foreseeable future. Gone were the days of summer vacations and school in the fall. The routine I'd practiced for seventeen years changed as I walked across the stage in the convocation center of my small liberal arts college.
As I floundered my way through the post-grad life, I found (and still find) small snippets of comfortable rhythms.
The community of believers I've cozied up to.
The workplace friends I've made.
The church I attend and serve in.
The coffee shops I frequent.
The apartment I've made my own.
But as a whole, I've still got a good piece of that unsettled, unstable and "what the mess am I doing?" tucked away in the back of my head. As for these past two months? I've felt really unsettled. Like, maybe the word "unsettled" doesn't even begin to cover it.
For a long laundry list of reasons, my footing seems to be fumbling.
And sisters, I'm a fixer. Oh, heavens to Betsy – I am fixer. And when I am unsettled? When things aren't quite figured out? When every detail isn't set in stone? I become fixated on fixing. I cannot sleep, cannot eat and cannot sit still until I have it figured out. Until my ducks are in a row, I become a slave to settling the aftermath of the rumbles.
Surely, I am not the only one...right?
Yet in this fumbling and in this fidgeting, God's grace is still good. Like the gracious Father that He is, it usually isn't long before truth seeps into the madness. By His grace alone, I am reminded of Paul and his convicting words in Philippians 4, verses 11 through 13.
"I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength."
So, in this season of tumult – in the rolling hills that are spattered in between the dark valleys and the bright and lofty mountain tops, I am looking for Him. I know He is here. I know He is present. I know in Him and in Him alone I can settle in for the long haul.
Our settling is not defined by our circumstances, rather the One in whom we rest.
May you find rest in Him in every season. May you settle into His grace no matter where it leads you.
-Diana // @dianapalka

The British and Italian bids to build [Australia's] new Future Frigates have been rated by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute as the most capable anti-submarine warfare ships on offer in the $35 billion SEA 5000 tender.
However, the third contender, Spain's Navantia, has been identified as the least risky option, and likely the cheapest to build.
With a decision on the Future Frigate contract due within weeks, the institute has rated the three contenders for the contract on performance, project risk, industrial strategy and cost.
The institute's latest paper said the Type 26 Global Combat Ship offered by Britain's BAE Systems was "the most modern design", but also the least proven option, with no ships yet completed.
The Type 26's newness was a "two-edged sword", the report said, with its performance based on projections "which should necessarily be regarded with some scepticism". The FREMM, from Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri, was a "relatively new but proven design", and well suited to an ASW-specific role.
"Relative to the Type 26, the FREMM offers the advantage of already being in service, and thus being more readily evaluated. For example, its acoustic signature can be measured, rather than being a projected figure," the paper said. (ends)

(MENAFN - Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) KUWAIT, Dec 2 (KUNA) -- Kuwait and Stockholm are holding consultations over upcoming talks between the Yemeni parties in Sweden, Deputy Foreign Minister Khaled Al-Jarallah said Sunday. Al-Jarallah was answering questions by reporters over Swedish Foreign Minister Margot Wallstrom's visit to Kuwait to ask for advice over Yemen peace talks. Wallstrom, he said, met with Deputy Premier and Foreign Minister Sheikh Sabah Khaled Al-Hamad Al-Sabah and she was keen to visit Kuwait before the talks began. She wanted to have a clear picture over the upcoming talks because Kuwait had hosted the Yemeni parties for 100 days, said Al-Jarallah, "so there is a background and knowledge in developments and nature of talks, and how the host country should deal with those parties." The two sides discussed Sweden's role as a facilitator of the talks, said Al-Jarallah who was speaking on sidelines of a reception by the UAE's Embassy on the country's national day. "We were open and conveyed to her our experience with the talks. We hope the talks be successful and we are optimistic they will," he said. (end) nmo.bs

One of my favourite things about Vancouver is that you don't have to sacrifice nature to live the city life.
We are surrounded by natural beauty whether it be the many parks and beaches right in the city or the scenic views, waterfalls, and quiet forests not far away. How truly lucky we are!
This summer, spend time as a family getting active and trying out a new hike. Whether you and your kids are new to this, or ready to tackle a mountain, we've got something on this list for everyone.
From the easy and flat hikes to the more challenging climbs, here are are 11 favourite hikes near Vancouver.
1. Lighthouse Park
In West Van, this hike offers stunning views, wildlife, old trees, and easy trails! Only 20 minutes from where you park is a lighthouse which makes for a fun destination, but you can continue on to more sights too. A perfect concoction for hiking with the kids. You can also catch an amazing sunset from here.
2. Stanley Park
It goes without saying that there is almost nothing we like more than strolling along the seawall in Stanley Park. There is a really a reason why this is the pride and joy of Van City, even though you're still in the heart of the city you feel like you've escaped to nature!
3. Pacific Spirit Regional Park
With many different hiking trails to choose from, they range from easy to difficult, so you can tailor your hike accordingly. A great option for beginners is the Huckleberry Trail.
4. University of British Columbia
No we are not suggesting you take your kids to a frat party. In fact, UBC is actually a great place to bring your family for a walk or bike ride. The University grounds are huge. There are big roads, sidewalks and trails so the choice is up to you where to take your family. The best time to go biking is on the weekend when the roads aren't as busy.
5. Deer Lake
In Burnaby is a easy, flat stroll around Deer Lake Park with 5km of trails. Apart from the beautiful scenery and wildlife you might encounter, what you'll love about it is the small beach area and playground to stop at along the way with little ones.
If you're looking to increase the sweat-factor but still keep it do-able for beginners, we have our more moderate hikes here. Whether that means longer or steeper, we guarantee they are worth the effort.
6. Deep Cove Lookout
Slightly more challenging than the others, however still a relatively easy hike. About 4km roundtrip, so make sure this is something your kids would be comfortable with! Crossing the creek bridges is fun for the kids, and the lookout is definitely impressive.
7. Norvan Falls
This trail is mostly flat, but becomes a little more challenging for its length. Located in North Van is this 14km loop that has a delightful small waterfall that kids will love! There is ample parking and washrooms available at the parking lot.
8. Dog Mountain
Photo Credit: Ruth Hartup on Flickr
For the slight increase in difficulty level, the views here are well worth the effort! Though there's a lot more elevation gain than the ones mentioned so far, it's still a fairly short hike up Mt Seymour, but it boasts spectacular views of Vancouver on a clear day.
If you and your family are willing to put in some longer hours, we highly suggest these more challenging hikes. The views speak for themselves.
9. St. Mark's Summit
Beginning from Cypress parking lot you can access this hike for on of the most impressive views of Howe Sound. It's 11km round trip with a fair amount of elevation gain, so you'll want to pack lunch and plenty of water for this one.
10. Grouse Grind
If you have older children who love the outdoors and aren't afraid of a little (and by a little we mean a lot) of activity we suggest hiking up the Grouse Grind. The actual hike is free and the views are absolutely incredible from the top. If you are too tired there is also a gondola that for a small price can take you for a ride down.
11. Garibaldi Lake
Do we really have to say anything? The photo speaks for itself! While Garibaldi Provincial Park is a bit of a further drive, we think it's worth the 1.5 hour road trip. This glacier-fed lake (hence why it's so crystal clear blue/turquoise) sits 1450 metres above sea level and is surrounded by mountains, meadows, and even volcanic outcrops. While at 18km round trip it's certainly the most challenging of the hikes mentioned so far, they do offer camping sites so you don't have to get there and do it all in a day before coming home, make a weekend of it!

Mom and I recently took a trip out to Yew Dell Botanical Gardens in Crestwood. The weather was beyond wonderful and we couldn't resist the urge to drive with the windows down, grab iced caramel macchiatos, and tour a sculpture garden.
Ahhhhh so beautiful!
I want to thank everyone who reads this blog for putting up with my amateur photography. We got our Pentax a couple years ago and basically this blog has been a practice space for me...ha! I'm slowly but surely coming along, but nowhere near where I'd like to be.
Go check out Yew Dell Gardens--it is wonderful! Someone told me they went to a wedding there a few weeks ago--how amazing does that sound!?!?!?!

I had to under go major surgery, January 23rd 2017, here in Penang. The symptons leading up to this, was being ignored I suppose and as ignorance is thought to be easier, I paid a high price to be priviliged to be telling you this. For me to be telling you my story, since creating this group, and my honesty to you, I hope will help you acknowledge the importance it is to change your bad habits. For a few years leading up to this I had a feeling of your gut occasionally being on fire, excessive bleeding while menstruating, low iron reading.....My doctor focused on the lining of the uterus, telling me I had was iron deficient through this problem, when all along it was my own defenses in my gut that was fighting so hard against the real problem. I had a polyp. This polyp opened, my main intestine was actually growing out of this and was ready to explode hence the pains I endured in the lead up to the op, thinking it may have been the change of diet etc being here in Penang and as the local doctor had just thought. But common sense set in, of course this second opinion by a specialist prompted me to have an MRI, was told of my severe situation and the pretty big tumor that was happy to piggy back in this dis eased section of my internals. That evening I was operated on, my main intestine removed and the tumor, which was 6cm in size and was cancerous! Today, fortunately I am ok...and still need regular checks, but having my problem and the great amount of toxicty that was injected over the week of being in hospital, I feel now has only just been expelled because of my maintenance which is extremely important, maintaining my gut health and high immunity. I express from the heart, how poisonous some of these ingredients are in your everyday products from the kitchen, laundry and the bathroom, the processed foods etc, emotional traumas which is only something we hang on to because we think they are important, but are not, may put you into a high price bracket of affecting your health and your life! Contact me,may be I can help you further. Love to support you, too.
You may be suffering hair loss, right? Your tap water may be the cause. It contains a huge concotion of 'hard metals' including chlorine and limescale, which can cause scalp calcification and hair loss. Some countries have sodium fluoride in their water source which is an active rat poison and does not benefit your health at all as it gets into your bloodstream as does all other chemicals, including lead, nickel and cadmium. These cause dryness and inflammations speeding up the process of hair loss. Skin allergies, hormonal changes, cancer, etc. changing the natural process of the body's cellular level.
Your cellular level can be rejuvenated through a ketosis process and building your immunity.

Wow. So much reminiscing! My life has never been so full of adventures in such a short time.
Early December 2015, John and I found an advert in the Sunday Mail, in Adelaide, and could not resist the temptation of a rail/sea holiday. How exciting! A fantastic offer for 22 days! We booked straight away for April 2016, plenty of time to give notice, save and the things you do when you want something bad enough. Manifestation of good vibes. Sometimes you just need to make a decision and work out how to do it after! This is a great way not to stall your dreams to goals!
So, flight booked to Sydney, overnight stay at the Mercure near the train station. We had the whole afternoon to explore the Darling Harbour and it's beauty and of course Australian architectural icon, The Opera House.
I recommend the Mercure. We had a lovely stay and served a delicious dinner with a
bottle of bubbly. We had reasons to celebrate!
The Indian Pacific was waiting for us and was actually an easy access to the station with our luggage, so if ever....
We had a welcoming party to greet us and our excitement grew fast. I was sure when I spoke those butterflies were flying from my mouth!
Our cabin was 'Gold' class with 2 bunkbeds, ensuite and for a little cabin it was comfortable. Besides, we had plenty distractions in the bar compartment and dining area, making new friends! Even learnt a new card game.
Now, you may think why did we go to Sydney first when our first stop to Perth, went via Adelaide. We were a glutton for the full ride and we stopped at a few places on the way, after enjoying the gorgeous views and ambience of the Blue Mountains. Our first stop, Broken Hill, we explored the Mining Town by coach and took us up to the Line of Lode Miners Memorial. Some sad stories were narrated and we enjoyed a full view of the Silver City. Our next destination, Adelaide, our home city gave us incentive to visit the Seppeltsfield Winery and learn about the history and I got to taste this exquisite mead, but I cannot remember what is was called! Maggie Beer's Farm Shop in Nurioopta was the next stop for tasting of nibbles and browse the Farm shop and premises. After a while we were ushered into the events section where it was laid out with 3 long tables with seating for the selective passengers that booked this outing. And the food and wine was out of this world! A coach ride back to the station to settle into our bunks was most welcome.
Our ride along the track was a little rocky, especially more so from Sydney but from Adelaide across the Nullabor was a little smoother. It was weird, you know after being on a boat one says you feel like you have sea legs, man this was train ride legs! All so worth it. We stopped in this little ghost town called Cooke. It consisted of a rundown school, swimming pool, (dry as) airstrip, a few houses, a jail! And a handful of people who actually dwell there a few months at a time to help maintain the train and tracks as it passes through. Interesting. I love a Sunburnt country.
Rawlinna was our second to last stop of our journey through nothingness and we indulged in an amazing meal of barbeque meat and salad, seated at long tressles of white cloths and rustic atmosphere and light entertainment from a local band (somewhere) serenaded us while we ate heartily with an abundance of wine to set the mood. Candles and lanterns made the surrounding eerily serene and comfortable. We all boarded with a full stomach and light heads to continue our night as we rolled toward Perth.
A coach took us to our Hotel Novatel near the Swan River and took the opportunity to stretch our legs along the banks and enjoy what civilization offered us. What I saw of Perth, was beautiful and look forward to visiting again. After lunch the next day, another coach drove us to our biggest escapade from the workforce to the oceans surrounding the continent which we call home.
The Sun Princess awaits!

So..we have been to Kangaroo Island, to Moonta (and to Queensland to see John's family) And now we venture on to Sydney to take us on an adventure of a life time! We thought it wasn't going to get any better than this. Together.....Since knowing each other, and being like minded, our vision board..you know, if you read what I have blogged earlier, has quickly set us up to enjoy what we always wanted to do. Hey, you only live once but if you read our intro....I had the second chance, but at this stage I did not know this!
Being stuck in a rut, living to the expectations for others, feeling tired, in a comfort zone, YOU have the power to change. I am not suggesting to do what we have done, baby steps are necessary to build your way to your dreams. Our sharing is your incentive to get it out there.....before it is too late!
Where to now? You will just have to come back to find out more!

Love Adelaide, the beautiful River Torrens
Entrance to the great Adelaide Oval
Living in Adelaide has been a wonderful experience but leaving on our cruise in May last year was the start of the bigger dream. The Law of Attraction works in mysterious ways. Remember the Vision Board and changing your mind set? Hanging out with like minded people? Try it....but be patient and put your words into actions and be aware of those open doors of opportunities...You never know....

The more you know him, the more you admire him. The more you think of him you realise what a truly wonderful person he is. Do not settle for less, do not settle for lukewarm or mild happiness. Lukewarm turns to cold. Mild happiness becomes a kind of nameless sadness, nagging questions, like is this all there is?
The Soulmate is the one that makes life come to life.....
Though, loving and respecting yourself will attract the same but there is nothing better than sharing the love.
And this is exactly what makes our life SO special. Having worked through our previous marriages, bringing up our children, living our life as best as we could with love and sadness, grief and losses, passion and empathy, our journeys had lead us to where we are, today.
Working toward your dream with a special life partner has been very fruitful for us. A change of mindset and hanging out with like minded people inspires us and brings excitement and passion back to our hearts. Reaching out to people and sharing our life and experiences spark the same.
John and I are great followers of Bob Proctor and Jim Rohn. Our wealth inspirations also come from the books Born Rich, The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho and The Richest Man in Babylon by George S Clason, Zig Ziglar and so many more of the like. These great men are the ones to listen to to make sense of the perfect way of thinking when it comes to a changing the habits of bad choices in the mind to lifestyle wealth and health.

We were very fortunate to have great friends that had a
holiday house at Moonta. John and I spent a few days there just
chilling. John was in Security for a few years, shift work etc, when he moved to Adelaide, so any time away from the everyday mundane was always welcomed. Moonta is in SA, driving up through to Yorke Penisula.
It is a small but quaint township but quite renowned for their
shared copper mining It was also known as 'Little Cornwall'. Moonta was derived from the aboriginal word 'moontera'
meaning 'thick scrub place'.
Just a few piccies from our stay there a couple of years ago.
Just a tad cool. Beautiful walk along the beach breathing in the fresh air and sunshine to warm our souls. Just a bit more dried seaweed than expected though. I was sitting there for a while watching two labradors running and playing in the distant
kicking up the weed while having a ball.
View from the jetty
Great lunch at The Seagate. The oysters were
one of the freshest and tastiest, ever!
And amazing sunsets.
This has been only the beginning to our Great New Life!
Baby steps always come first....

Endicott Arm….. Dawes Glacier
Seeing small ice burgs
The icing on the cake one lady said. We are not anchored
because it is too deep so we are circling back and forth
facing a glacier, small bits of ice are moving past us.
The young couple embraced and the people in the lounge
watching smiled. The steward, Karen, went to the bar
and returned with a tray and two small glasses. Wine I
presume, and someone held the door as she took the
wine to the couple. Another embrace and applause from
those watching. I had not seen him on his knee… But
Rick and Jennie and now officially engaged, ring and all.
I sat on the deck with my hearing aids removed watching
as the ship moved in an arc across the opening of the
small bay. High rocks and tree growth on the left, a stream
of water pouring down between the rocks and trees on
the right . A snow topped mountain straight ahead. Back
and forth slowly. Three paddle boarders in the distance.
A single kayaker heading to the bay opening .. And silence
and the breeze and the sun making it a perfect day.

Successful reductions in the size of real estate cuts companies' economic and environmental burdens and boosts productivity with better spaces for workers to concentrate and collaborate.
The road to success, however, is littered with pitfalls. A mistake in the measurement process can derail the success of many steps that follow.
Having previously engaged Altanova in a measurement project related to energy efficiency, a client's head of real estate called on Altanova for a reliable, affordable and non-intrusive way to measure utilization.
By going beyond simple space utilization, our partnership looked to understand how the space also supported the team and its performance.
The solution we came up with is completely novel in the way it combined qualitative surveys of the workforce with quantitative measurements of the actual space. By combining the two we were then able to infer robust relationships between perception and reality which eventually informed the successful roll-out of a global space optimization strategy.

Sarah Martin is the owner of The Farmhouse of Paducah, a new store that showcases her goat's milk products and other artists' creations. As well as being the mother of seven children and caring for two foster children, she is a detective for the McCracken County Sheriff's Department! iMeet this busy, talented local woman who is already finished with her Christmas shopping!
Welcome to iMeet, Sarah. Tell us about yourself and your family...
I am married with seven children and two foster children. Six of them are under the age of 12 and three are adults with children of their own which makes me a granny! I grew up in Cadiz and graduated from Trigg County High School. I met my husband Rick in Cadiz. He is now a retired police officer from Cadiz Police Department.
I worked for Trigg County EMS for 13 years while I pursued my education, an ABD Doctorate in Marriage Counseling. I worked in Graves County as a deaf interpreter while in college. I was a youth minister for three years at Cornerstone Church in Paducah and the Campus Minister at Mid Continent College for three years.
After finishing school, I joined the Sheriff's Department in Trigg County. I was hired by McCracken County Sheriff's Department in 2010 where I work as a detective. I specialize in Special Victim cases. What makes me happy is helping people whether it is with my products or through my job at MCSO. I love to help people and bring hope into their life.
We hear you love animals...
I have lots of animals as I have a small farm that consists of dogs, cats, goats, ducks, bees, chickens, and sometimes pigs. At one point we had 80 pigs but we sold them because they multiply way too quickly! We will probably raise more this next summer. Having a farm is a lot of work.
Tell us about your new business, The Farmhouse of Paducah ...
I went into the soap making business about three years ago. I had goats that we milked which got me started making goat's milk soap - this is how it all began. Soap led to new products such as lotions, scrubs, perfume, bath bombs, cosmetic, and cleaners. I am very passionate about providing a good, natural product to my customers.
The business took off so I decided to purchase the old Choat's Building on Kentucky Avenue in Paducah. The Farmhouse is home to over 40 artisans. It is my desire to help other local crafters to pursue their dreams. The Farmhouse provides a place for people to sell their handmade items. We have home décor, baby gifts, cleaning products, pet products, handmade cards, jewelry and so much more.
You're passionate about goat's milk products...tell us why?
I began making my own products because my son struggles with eczema. I have spent a lot of time researching how to make products to help my son. The products most people use really damage their skin more than they help. My products help promote healthy skin. Goat's milk has anti-aging and anti-inflammatory properties, helps dry and sensitive skin, and reduces wrinkles. It's known to help those who suffer from eczema and psoriasis as it assists with balancing the PH levels of your skin. It's also an exfoliant.
What is the best part of owning your own business?
The best part of owning a store is meeting the customers. I love to help educate people on proper skin care. I also love creating new products. I have people often ask me to make things for them and that is how my product line expands.
What do you like to do in your free time?
Free time? What's that? I don't have free time! I work 40 hours a week at my job and then after work I make products. My children love to help me make stuff or put labels things. They are my biggest salesmen - they're always selling stuff to their teachers! I also love to sew, paint, bake, and plant flowers. I just love to create stuff.
When I do have free time, I spend it with my family. I love to teach my children to be creative too. One thing my kids will never say about me is that I am lazy. I am always on the go. People ask me often how do I do it all…the answer is only with help from Jesus.
Have you started Christmas shopping yet?
All my Christmas shopping was done in November - I am a getting-it-done kind of gal! When you have nine children to shop for you get it done early.
What are your plans for Christmas this year?
I have a very close family. We get together often and for every holiday. Christmas Eve all my siblings go to my mother's house in Cadiz. Then on Christmas day we stay at home with our younger children. It is important for me to instill in my children the importance of family.
Would you rather read the book or watch the movie?
I love to read and think it's a very important skill. I encourage my children to read as it is a great way to encourage imagination. However, I rarely have time to read, and if I do start a book, I cannot put it down. I am guilty of watching Hallmark Christmas movies.

Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams, who has gained new fame for his predictions and analysis of the 2016 presidential race, told Breitbart News on Sunday that growing violence in America benefits Hillary Clinton at Donald Trump's expense.
"All domestic violence, as long as it's not terrorism, seems to play against Trump, because they have successfully framed him as the 'divider,' the one who is dividing society," Adams said in an interview via FaceTime.
Adams described the political effect of violence in the context of his overall theory of persuasive techniques, which he says are shaping the election more than rational arguments about policy and experience.
Last week, Breitbart News noted the emergence of a Democratic National Committee memo, via Wikileaks, detailing plans to link Trump to "incidents of violence," regardless of whether they were carried out by anti-Trump protesters or by Trump supporters.
Breitbart News observed:
And for the left, that was precisely the point: creating violence is a no-lose strategy. If protesters can provoke Trump supporters to be violent, they embarrass Trump and cast him as a fascist. And if the protesters themselves are violent, voters will understand that a Trump victory will be met with violent mob resistance.
Adams agreed with that analysis, noting that the media have been convinced that Trump is "literally a mortal danger to civilization in general."
They believe that, Adams noted, despite all evidence to the contrary:
"The reality in terms of of what he's said has been pro-American, unambiguously. And he's never said a word against any American, unless they were professional journalists.
"But for Americans, of all ethnicities, religions, and types, if they're legal, and American, he's unambiguously on their side."
In the case of Judge Gonzalo Curiel, the presiding federal judge in the Trump University fraud case, whom Trump attacked for being "Mexican," Adams said that while the incident was a "gigantic negative," Trump was merely referring to him in a way that Mexican-Americans often use themselves, and that might not have struck people as divisive in another context.
Some of the political violence in the news today, he said, was contrived for political purposes — and yet real.
"As an objective observer — well, no one's objective — but as an observer, I would say that the mainstream media, along with the Clinton supporters have created a vision of the world in which there is a racial divide that's actually bigger than the actual racial divide.
"And I think that is actually inspiring some people to kill cops … you can see why people would be inspired to violence if they believed that they are fighting against an evil that's of a Hitler-like size."
Trump cast himself as the "law and order" candidate at the Republican National Convention — but that may not matter if people believe Trump is to blame for violence, regardless of how or why it occurs.
Rather than Trump, Adams said, his opponents bore more of the blame for growing division and violence.
"I would say, whoever has framed this as a fight against 'white supremacists versus every other group' has a lot more responsibility for the violence."
