[Hook: Count]
If you shoot him in the arm
Bet he coming back again
This is zombie land, this is zombie land
If you want a nigga dead, better shoot him in the head
This is zombie land, this is zombie land
Everybody tryna eat, real hustlers don't sleep!
This is zombie land, this is zombie land
Better open up your eyes, they'll eat your ass alive!
This is zombie land, this is zombie land
[Verse 1: Count]
Zombies need to wake up, somebody need to shake up
Fuck a iron, we can save time with the staplers
Capers, burglaries, serving these crack fiends
Talking about swapping out your work for a flat screen
Police they roll deep, dope fiends, they OD
The ? blows back-to-back, funeral's are holy
No sleep insomniac but its a full moon tonight
Count Drac, they call me that cause I'm allergic to the light
Supposed to die from the shit that they was shooting
Got em 20 something times man, a nigga can't be human
They hit him with a SK, surgery, X-ray
Strapped a shitbag on him, sent him home the next day
Could see it in his face, ain't touch his dinner tray
Just in his cell pacing back and forth in a daze
Waiting for that contraband to make it past body scan
Can't help him: welcome to zombie land!
[Verse 2: Moonie]
Can't kill me with a silver bullet, think before you pull it
Can't stab me with a dagger, I'm in black nigga hooded
Good riddens, rock-a-bye by ya baby we don't pass em out
You crazy, only way to make it here is
Human sacrifice of life, we ain't satisfied
We don't trying to rationalize
War time, shoot any cop we see, passers-by
Night of the living dead epidemic
Sell a fiend a bad rock, he try to come back and kill ya
It's alive! Young Frankenstein
See the screws in my head so a nigga won't lose his mind
Crazy am I.. funny you should ask
Mummy-wrap a nigga, now put the money in the bag
Yea, I'm coming for you homie, hear them footsteps?
You paranoid cause ain't nobody in your hood left
Yeah, have you ever played the Quiet Game?
Put this banger in your mouth and swallow the entire thing!
[Verse 3: Lupe Fiasco]
These horror stories and tales from the dark side
You know who I is, on my gig like a hard drive
You know how I work: Voorhees every verse
Th-th-these horror stories and tales from the Dark Side
You know who I is, on my gig like a hard drive
You know how I work: Vorhees every verse
Dexter under pressure, when I'm not I'm even worse
Streets go crazy every time the moon lifts
Wolves on the prowl now, witches on the broomsticks
You can hear em cry out, hollers and the screams
I just sit back and smile call me Happy Halloween!
But no Pumpkin Head nigga
Slept on what I said, now Fred up in bed with ya
Never been sweet, not even in my dreams
Loyalty and royalty, call me Stephen King
I mean, gave you The Cool like Fonzie
Biggie Smalls' ghost, 2Pac's zombie
Count on the cook, Moonie on the look
Hitchcock on the beat, Candyman on the hook!

Signs of the sexual abuse of a child are not likely to be
noticed without an examination of the genital area. These signs include:
Sexual abuse may not be detected with a physical exam,
especially if enough time has lapsed to allow tissue to heal. Also, some types
of sexual abuse, such as fondling or oral contact, usually do not leave any
physical signs.

L'AFFINÉ de SAINT ALBRAY/
Made with pasteurized cow's milk, this popular cheese is ripened for two weeks and formed into a shape similar to that of a flower with each "petal" forming a half pound of cheese. The six "petals" are centered around a disk which, when removed, creates a hollow center resembling the center of the flower. Only St. Albray offers a flavor experience as unique as its scalloped silhouette. When the whole wheel, or flower, is displayed, the cheese makes an attractive centerpiece to a table.
Saint Albray slices beautifully and is mild and moist, but still retains its body despite its creamy nature. Saint Albray's enduring success comes from its distinctive taste. As a young soft ripened cheese, St. Albray resembles a rich and mellow Camembert, but with a less intense flavor. Within its mysterious aging process, St. Albray develops the hearty, robust flavor of a traditional washed-rind cheese. St. Albray has a rich aroma and a rich flavor that can be enhanced by eating it with its ginger/reddish-white rind. Its ivory center contrasts well with its colorful rind. Serve Saint Albray with a Pinot Noir or Chianti. It also goes well with white or nut breads.
The year 1976 may have marked the Bicentennial in the United States, but in France it was the year Saint Albray cheese was invented. Beyond the snow-capped Pyrenees lie the serene pastures of Basque country and the Bearn region of southwest France. Spicy cuisine, Jurancon wine and hearty succulent cheeses flourish. Within this rich culinary heritage, St. Albray was conceived and, like Brie and Camembert, it was born of the purest tradition in French cheese.

Frederick Carl Frieseke was an American artist of German parentage. He worked in France for most of his career, firstly in Paris and then in the artists' colony of Giverny. This Normandy village had been adopted by the French Impressionist painter Monet, whose style Frieseke later favoured. Frieseke had begun his artistic studies in Chicago and New York in 1893-7.
He set off for Paris in September 1897 to further his training in one of the major artists' teaching studios, the Académie Julian. The Académie provided models for its students to work from. Notable visiting artists would also advise and offer criticism of their work. His fellow American, the controversial and dandyish James McNeil Whistler, briefly tutored Frieseke. Whistler's preferred teaching method was to correct a student's work with the tip of his gloved fingers, whilst wearing full evening dress. He would exchange his soiled gloves for new ones as he progressed around the room. Frieseke later claimed that it was Whistler who persuaded him to change from his preferred medium, watercolours, and take up oils instead.
The sketchy painting technique used in 'Lady in Pink' shows evidence of it having been created shortly after this switch of technique, when Frieseke was still learning to paint fluently in oils. It shows a student's tentativeness and hesitation in front of a model. The paints have been thinly washed over a cheap cardboard support often used by students for sketching. In some places these watercolour-like washes are very thin. The bare-ground of the cardboard shows through providing a buff-brown mid-tone to the silvery-greys, pinks, pastel-blues and green shades of the composition. These subtle colour harmonies owe a lot to Whistler's own work. So does the inclusion of a colour note in the title - 'Lady in Pink'.
The Walker's picture was painted in Paris in 1902, as Frieseke's inscription, in the lower left corner, indicates. It was almost certainly painted in his bed-sitter cum studio in the inner-city district of Montparnasse, south of the River Seine. Before 1914 Montparnasse was known for providing cheap studios and lodgings for poor foreign artists. A photograph of Frieseke taken, in about 1901, in his studio at 51 boulevard Saint-Jacques, shows a similar low divan or sofa, covered in an embroidered throw and cushions and partly draped in a Stars and Stripes flag. Frieseke's studio was on the top floor above a soda-water factory, near Montparnasse cemetery. The building was known for its unsanitary conditions and bad drainage. He described his studio in 1901 as 'getting almost unbearable. They have put in more machinery below, increased their plant generally & it makes things very disagreeable. … At the present writing the place is full of smoke and a smell of burnt rubber.'
It is difficult to believe that such an elegant picture as 'Lady in Pink' could have been created in such unpleasant conditions.
By 1900 Frieseke had met the young American woman who was to become his wife in 1905, Sarah Anne O'Bryan, known as Sadie. She was the tall, stylish daughter of a wealthy Catholic Pittsburgh lawyer. Her father (until his sudden death in1904) thwarted any engagement between his musically and artistically accomplished daughter and the penniless Frieseke. Sadie and her family lived not far from Frieseke's studio flat. In February 1901 they went back to the States, not returning to Paris until October 1903. The lovers' separation resulted in a series of letters in which Frieseke detailed his struggles as an artist. In the autumn of 1901 he began the first of what was to become a life-long series of studio nudes. He described his model, Hélène, as 'a blonde girl with rather reddish hair.' A succession of letters in January and February 1902 detailed his difficulties in producing paintings with which he was satisfied. At one point he destroyed a picture he had been working on for five weeks. He seems to have employed his model mainly for his studies of the nude or partially clothed female body.
Alongside the nudes he was also working on small interior scenes. These portrayed artist colleagues such as the Australian Hugh Ramsay and his friend Miss Krauss. The Walker's painting of a chic lady, dressed fashionably, holding a fan and wearing a pendant necklace, is perhaps most likely to have been a portrait of one of the friends he relaxed and partied with. In late spring 1902 Frieseke travelled to the States with all the pictures he had painted. He showed eight of his works at the Art Institute of Chicago's annual exhibition. He did not return to Paris until the end of November. He finally managed to escape his unpleasant studio and moved to a new studio-apartment nearby. He shared it with his friend the American artist Alson Clarks and his new wife Medera, who frequently modelled for both painters.
In 1901 Frieseke had been made an associate of the Société Nationale des Beaux Arts. Artists such as Whistler, Matisse and Singer Sargent also exhibited there. It was probably at the Société's Salon in 1903 that Frieseke showed the Walker's 'Lady in Pink', as 'Femme en Rose'. He was on the brink of experiencing artistic and financial success. In 1904 the French government purchased one of his nudes for the Luxembourg Museum in Paris. He had also attracted the attention of the American department-store magnate, John Wannamaker. He guaranteed to support Frieseke by purchasing a number of his paintings for $2,500 a year. This arrangement continued until 1917.
From 1905 Frieseke began to spend extended summers at Giverny. Here he changed his style, adopting the Impressionist's broken brush-work and vibrant palette of high-keyed contrasting colours. Women always remained a favourite subject of Frieseke's, whether clothed or nude, seated pensively in domestic interiors or relaxing in sunlit gardens. An important part of his style was a strong sense of surface patterning in which the figure was absorbed into the landscape and dress pattern merged, under dappled light, into floral background. In the Walker's 'Lady in Pink' Frieseke had already begun tentatively to interlock figure, furniture and textile. In this his work complemented that of one of the leading Post Impressionist artists at work in Paris, Edouard Vuillard (1868-1940). His portrait of 'Madame Hessel on a Sofa', painted around the same date as Frieseke's, hangs close by in the Walker.

Fuerza Mineros, (the Twitter hashtag #fuerzamineros), a wish of strength to the miners, these two words I typed dozens of times yesterday as I watched the rescue unfold in Chile.
I tweeted some of the rescues as they happened, and once I started, I found that I had to stay there for the very last one.
Part of the intrigue for me was pride in watching the true international effort at play – seeing how we are capable of such greatness when we work together. This rescue in Chile could not have happened without the help of the United States, and dozens of other countries. It's a lesson in cooperation and humbleness, in allowing others to help when you can't do something on your own. It's a lesson on strength in numbers – just as the Chilean miners pooled their talents to survive below ground, the world pooled their talents above ground to save them. We are all unique individuals with unique abilities, which we should use to help others.
The second reason I watched, was for the pure happiness it gave me. The rescue allowed us to forget our own problems, like any other distraction. I think for a lot of people, it was a much needed respite from the usual depressing political and economic news. Maybe watching the families reunite gave us a moment to recharge and recalibrate – to realize just what is important in this world.
When these kind of amazing stories happen, it's inevitable that the characters in the story will be granted a sort of legendary status, becoming unforgettable to an entire generation. The Chilean miners have been described almost as saints, called heroes, been ascribed attributes such as "resilient", but I'm going to take an unpopular stance … As horrific as their ordeal was and as intelligent and strong as they were to survive, they are not saints or heroes, and they are no more resilient than most other human beings who find themselves in a situation where they must fight for their lives.
The Chilean miners are men – and flawed men, just like the rest of us. Perhaps none has exemplified that as publicly as Yonni Barrios – the miner who had both a wife and mistress show up to the site calling his name, (and word has it, he isn't the only one who had multiple women claim him.)
But the truth is, all of the miners have skeletons in their closets, just like the rest of us – and I'd be willing to bet that the contract they signed with each other in the mine was that they'd never tell a soul about the things they must have confessed to each other during the days when they thought they might not make it out.
And while the miners have captured the world's attention, there are human beings who never get to tell their stories, who are never praised for their survival, who are suffering in all kinds of situations every day all over the world; from starvation, poverty, illness, separation from family or homeland, to loneliness, unjust incarceration, abuse, slavery, and mourning. It is the human condition, and those of us who are not touched by the worst of this kind of suffering are the lucky minority.
It may seem I'm being cynical – on the contrary! This should give you hope! What I'm saying is that, like the miners, though we are not saints, we all have hidden reserves of strength, we all have the ability to pull through difficult times. We all have the capacity for faith in something greater than us no matter how "religious" we consider ourselves. We all have the ability to be reborn in this world, to change our ways. Each day that you wake up and feel the sunshine upon your face, it is another chance to try again.
"With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world…Strive to be happy."-Desiderata/ Max Ehrmann

Donald Sterling remains holed up in his Beverly Hills mansion, ostracized by many, banned by the NBA and yet quietly pleased that his Los Angeles Clippers last week fetched a record sales price of $2 billion.
Sterling believes that if he had conducted the sale, instead of his wife Shelly, he might have pushed the price even higher, his lawyer, Max Blecher, said Tuesday. But Sterling's real concern — one that might still send him to court in an attempt to block the jaw-dropping deal — is that the windfall does nothing to mend his wounded reputation.
Donald Sterling: In the June 4 Sports section, an article about Clippers owner Donald Sterling's efforts to repair his reputation said that Sterling saw neurologists at UCLA Medical Center and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on May 22, according to his attorney, Max Blecher. Records subsequently filed in probate court show that one exam was May 19 and one was May 22, and both were at Sterling's Beverly Hills home. Sterling underwent brain scans at Cedars-Sinai.
"He doesn't want to die and have his tombstone say, 'Here lies a mental incompetent and a racist,'" Blecher said. "He is trying to do the best he can to see whether those stigmas can be eliminated or at least reduced. . . . That is what this is about."
Sterling filed a federal antitrust lawsuit against the NBA on Friday that became largely moot when the pro basketball league quickly accepted an agreement from the Sterling Family Trust to sell the team to former Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer. The NBA then canceled a hearing that had been scheduled Tuesday and was designed to remove the Sterlings as owners of the Clippers.
But Donald Sterling is considering suing his wife of 58 years, who asserted sole control of the family trust after doctors determined he was no longer able to conduct his own business affairs. She sold the team without her husband's involvement.
Blecher disputed the doctors' findings, saying his client was "functioning perfectly well."
Donald Sterling would prefer to come to a settlement with Shelly Sterling, his lawyer said. Blecher implied Sterling might be willing to sign off on the sale to Ballmer, but only if his wife withdraws the doctors' statements about his mental health and her assertion that she is sole trustee of the family trust.
If that fails, Sterling might sue, the lawyer said. So far, Blecher said, Sterling has heard no response from his wife.
A protracted court fight over the family trust could postpone, or even scuttle, the sale of the Clippers.
Shelly Sterling's attorney, Pierce O'Donnell, said she rightfully took control of the trust because of her husband's condition. "The sales process is going forward," O'Donnell said. "We are confident the provisions of the family trust were fully and literally complied with."
Ballmer's successful bid for the Clippers last Thursday seemed to promise a relatively quick end to a public melodrama that began in late April with the posting of an audio recording in which Donald Sterling disparaged companion V. Stiviano for appearing in public with blacks.
But other events this week suggested the tempest around the Sterlings would not subside any time soon.
A lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court by a purported love interest echoed the racially inflammatory allegations that led to Sterling's ban from the NBA. The complaint said Maiko Maya King had a romantic relationship with Sterling from 2005 through 2011 when she worked for him and his charitable foundation.
In the lawsuit, King charged that Sterling hired her again in 2013 as a personal assistant/caretaker but then "dangled money" in front of her only if she engaged in sex with him.
King also alleged Sterling made objectionable statements about minorities, including "black people do not take care of their children" and "Mexicans just do drive-by shootings." Last month, the lawsuit said, Sterling terminated King's employment when she continued to protest his behavior. A Sterling lawyer called King's allegations "completely baseless."
And in New York, police reportedly have charged a 40-year-old Long Island man with assault as a hate crime and aggravated harassment in connection with an incident Sunday night involving Stiviano, 31, whose audio recording touched off the furor over the Clippers owner's feelings about blacks.
A police spokesman said Dominick Diorio of Old Bethpage has been charged with two counts of assault and two counts of harassment. The spokesman said Diorio struck Stiviano in the face outside of a Manhattan hotel and directed "racial epithets" at her.
Sterling, 80, has not spoken publicly about the Clippers since his wife conducted a whirlwind sale of the team last week.
Blecher said that Shelly Sterling expressed concerns about her husband's health and persuaded him to see two neurologists — one at UCLA Medical Center and the other at Cedars-Sinai.
Blecher declined to get into details of their diagnoses, but said both doctors offered the opinion that Sterling "could not make decisions on his own."
The examinations took place on the same day, May 22, that Donald Sterling signed a letter to the NBA agreeing to sell his interest in the Clippers, according to Blecher. The letter authorized his wife "to negotiate with the National Basketball Assn. regarding all issues in connection with a sale of the Los Angeles Clippers team."
"He told me he was going to see the doctor and it sounded like it was because of the loving wife who was concerned for him," Blecher said. "But it turns out, she did not level with him and he did not see it coming. I don't think he thought this was in the arsenal of things they would throw at him."
Shelly Sterling's representatives have said that she got her husband to see the doctors out of legitimate concern for his well-being. She had previously told television host Barbara Walters she worried her husband might have dementia.
Donald Sterling, who bought the team for $12.5 million in 1981, is also pondering whether to challenge the indemnification Shelly Sterling offered the NBA and Ballmer in the sale. That agreement means Sterling's trust would pay for any legal judgment or settlement that Sterling obtained; he would effectively be paying a legal settlement to himself.
Blecher suggested that Shelly Sterling may have breached her fiduciary duty to the trust by promising it would indemnify third parties — putting their interests ahead of those of her husband and fellow trustee.
Blecher said: "We are looking at the question of whether the indemnity is worth the paper it is written on."

Early years of Cheyenne Frontier Days
Denver Post Columnist Jack Kisling wrote a history of the early years of Cheyenne Frontier Days for Empire Magazine in 1997. The following are excerpts from his column:
(The idea for Cheyenne Frontier Days originated) in 1897, when a party from Cheyenne, visiting the Potato Day celebration in Greeley, talked it over as they rode the train home.
Among them were Edwin A. Slack, editor of the Cheyenne
Sun-Leader, and businessman Warren Richardson. They reckoned
that their scrawny new town, founded in 1867 at the railhead of
the Union Pacific, needed a celebration like Greeley's –
something to steer the visitors in.
""But," one of them is said to have said, ""we can't have a
crop show. We don't raise anything in Cheyenne except hell."
When you have lemons, you make lemonade. When you have what
Cheyenne is noted for, you make whoopee, and thus the idea for a
Frontier Days rodeo hatched, although some accounts cite Union
Pacific passenger agent F.W. Angier as the mother hen.
The rodeo notion struck him in the UP Cheyenne yards as he
watched cowpokes load rangeland horses into a freight car. It
was a struggle, and in the cussing and commotion Angier sensed a
spectacle people might pay to see. Slack, Richardson and their
friends agreed, and within a few weeks citizens had chipped in
$567 to bankroll a rodeo.
Less than a month later the Daddy of 'em All began with a
cannon salute by Battery A, 17th Field Artillery, from nearby
Fort Russell (now Warren Air Force Base). Train whistles, church
bells and citizens' shooting irons joined in the uproar, and a
parade broke out.
On its heels came horse races – quarter-, half- and one-mile
events – followed by steer roping and bronc and bull riding in
which men and animals clashed, as if to test the ancient adage
that there never was a horse that couldn't be rode and there
never was a cowboy that couldn't be throwed.
The day's champion bronc buster was Will Jones of La Grange,
Wyo., who limped away with $25 for his efforts, while the horse
that bucked the best won a $100 prize for its owner, Mrs. Nelson
Perry, also of La Grange.
The celebration posters plastered around Wyoming and Colorado
urged ranchers and city folk to join in the fun, promising
""roping, throwing and other cowboy feats," plus pony races, a
mock Pony Express ride and a stagecoach holdup ""in true
frontier style."
Train fare from Denver to Cheyenne was $1, and the 1,651
Denverites who paid it helped boost rodeo attendance to an
estimated 3,000, nearly all from Wyoming and Colorado.
After the rodeo came a barbecue and dancing in the streets.
Beef was eaten, card games were played, firearms were discharged
into the air, alcohol was consumed and hell was raised, true to
the tradition of a town that was born in tumult. …
In 1897 the population (of Cheyenne) had passed 14,000, and when the committee that backed its first rodeo counted the gate receipts, they found it had almost broken even. Not bad for a treeless,
windswept cow town in the flattest corner of the emptiest state
in the Union, thought the rodeo committee, and they resolved to
throw another one the following year.
The 1898 event, which included Bill Cody's Wild West Show, was
expanded to two days in September, and everything cooperated
except the weather. The first day dawned cold and raw, and
Buffalo Bill, his buckskin fringes snapping smartly in the wind,
led his 600 shivering show riders in a parade seen only by a
handful of frostbitten spectators.
The next day's weather warmed, the crowd thickened and
quickened, and when the show was over Frontier Days had turned a
profit of $26.12.
The following year the take grew a little and so did the show.
The 1899 agenda included the public wedding of a Denver couple,
and Shoshone Indians from the reservation in Fremont County
added color to that year's doings. In 1902 a balloon ascent and
parachute drop were added, and celebrators at the night-time
events danced on canvas stretched over the dirt streets to keep
down the dust.
Frontier Days scored a publicity coup in 1903 when
then-President Theodore Roosevelt, leading a band of
rough-riding pals that included Wyoming Sen. F.E. Warren,
galloped 40 miles from Warren's ranch to Cheyenne to see the
fun. (Roosevelt attended again in 1910, when he was running for
president as the independent Bull Moose candidate, and gave the
proceedings his usual benediction: ""Bully!")
Relying at first on spectators from the surrounding cattle and
farm lands, the event gradually began drawing visitors from
beyond Wyoming and Colorado. By 1902 attendance reached 20,000,
total receipts were $7,915 and the profit was $2,279. …
In 1904 The Denver Post donated an annual trophy cup for the
winner of a women's cow pony race, and in 1905 Dorothy Kepernick
of Cheyenne became the rodeo's first woman bronc rider to
compete on equal terms with men.
In 1905 an animal rights uproar developed after the Wyoming
Humane Society prohibited the use of spurs by rodeo riders and
banned steer roping altogether.
""Riding a horse without spurs makes him about as active as an
extinct volcano," one cowboy grumbled, and a news account of
that year's spurless rodeo called it ""a fizzle."
Partly because of that and partly because the western economy
was still reeling from cattle losses in the great blizzards of
the 1880s and a mining industry devasted by the silver crisis of
the 1890s, the rodeo's backers decided to call it quits, even
though that year's event turned a small profit. Later they
relented and reorganized into the the group that has become the
Frontier Days Rodeo Committee, an arm of the Cheyenne Chamber of
Commerce. …

When the Sonata package for Sugar failed to behave like I expected, I knew I was going to have to roll up my sleeves to get a basic, ogg-friendly audio player in place for my little XO.
And since I don't really want anything fancy, and don't need any wacky music-management suites just to play a few tunes off a USB drive, I turned to cplay to get the job done – low profile, low maintenance and high-performance no matter what the hardware.
cplay isn't in Sugar's default repositories, and rather than tapdance around the issue, I decided to compile it from scratch. That turned out to be the best idea yet, since compiling it, even on the Geode, took only seconds. Here's how to do it.
First, you need two things from Sugar's repositories: vorbis-tools, which will give you the ogg123 command-line player, and make, for the dirty work. First open a Terminal Activity, then switch to superuser.
Now install those tools from the repositories. Needless to say, you'll want to be connected to the Internet for this step.
yum install make
yum install vorbis-tools
That was the hard part. Now download the source code for version 1.49 of cplay.
wget http://mask.tf.hut.fi/~flu/cplay/cplay-1.49.tar.gz
Decompress that file into a directory with this command
tar -xvzf cplay-1.49.tar.gz
Move into the directory that it created.
cd cplay-1.49
Now make.
Now install.
make install
Done. See? I told you it was easy. Installing it puts it at /usr/local/bin/cplay, which is a little awkward since the path for the default terminal account doesn't include that in $PATH. You can change that variable manually to include it, or set up an alias for the program in your bash profile … whichever seems easier.
Start up cplay, and if you like, create a symbolic link from your home directory to the /media folder, which saves a step when adding songs to the playlist. If you need a primer on how to use cplay, you can get one here.
And once again … CONSOLE PROGRAMS FTW! 🙂

Knit a Masterpiece from Leftover Yarn
If you knit enough projects you have left over yarn -- a lot of it! Or maybe you just buy a single skein as a souvenir from your travels. But the question remains, what to do with all those bits, pieces and odd skeins. Class begins by learning how to organize the yarn for easier use. Next working with the yarn brought to class, experiment with different fabrics that only require a minimal amount of any given yarn. Finally, discuss options for utilizing the fabrics to create a masterpiece project.
A wide variety of left over yarns, balled up and ready to be used -- a minimum of 6 oz (more is fine). Please bring yarn you are willing to share with your fellow classmates as it will enhance the learning experience.

Bad Form
In his classic work, Obedience to Authority, psychologist Stanley Milgram observed:
"There is always some element of bad form in objecting to the destructive course of events, or indeed, in making it a topic of conversation. Thus, in Nazi Germany, even among those most closely identified with the 'final solution', it was considered an act of discourtesy to talk about the killings." (Milgram, Obedience to Authority, Pinter & Martin, 1974, p.204)
The same "bad form" is very much discouraged in our own society. One would hardly guess from media reporting that Britain and America are responsible for killing anyone in Iraq and Afghanistan, where violence is typically blamed on "insurgents" and "sectarian conflict". International "coalition" forces are depicted as peacekeepers using minimum violence as a last resort.
In reporting the November 2005 Haditha massacre, in which 24 Iraqi civilians were murdered by US troops, Newsweek suggested that the scale of the tragedy "should not be exaggerated". Why?
"America still fields what is arguably the most disciplined, humane military force in history, a model of restraint compared with ancient armies that wallowed in the spoils of war or even more-modern armies that heedlessly killed civilians and prisoners." (Evan Thomas and Scott Johnson, 'Probing Bloodbath,' Newsweek, June 12, 2006; http://www.newsweek.com/id/52312/page/1)
The truth was revealed in a single moment of unthinking honesty by a senior US Army commander involved in planning the November 2004 Falluja offensive and convinced of its necessity. He visited the city afterward and declared:
"My God, what are the folks who live here going to say when they see this?" (http://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/04/ weekinreview/04burns.html?fta=y&pagewanted=all)
The answer was provided by physician Mahammad J. Haded, director of an Iraqi refugee centre, who was in Falluja during the US onslaught:
"The city is today totally ruined. Falluja is our Dresden in Iraq... The population is full of rage." (http://www.countercurrents.org/iraq-awad100305.htm)
In July 2005, the Independent commented on US actions in Iraq:
"The American army's use of its massive fire-power is so unrestrained that all US military operations are in reality the collective punishment of whole districts, towns and cities." (Patrick Cockburn, 'We must avoid the terrorist trap,' The Independent, July 11, 2005)
In April 2004, the Daily Telegraph reported the disgust of senior British army commanders in Iraq with the "heavy-handed and disproportionate" military tactics used by US forces, who view Iraqis "as untermenschen. They are not concerned about the Iraqi loss of life... their attitude toward the Iraqis is tragic, it is awful." (Sean Rayment, 'US tactics condemned by British officers', Defence Correspondent, Daily Telegraph, April 11, 2004)
Burying The Bride
The anonymous commanders' comments generalise to both British and American media reporting.
In July, Afghan investigators in Nangarhar, Afghanistan, told the AFP news agency that they had been shown the "bloodied clothes of women and children" killed in a July 6 US air strike. The attack was reported to have killed 47 civilian members of a wedding party, including 39 women and children, with nine wounded. The head of the team, Burhanullah Shinwari, deputy speaker of Afghanistan's senate, said: "They were all civilians and had no links with Taliban or Al-Qaeda." (http://afp.google.com/article/ ALeqM5joXBRRzFwxSG_I-Ucf34VMr379hQ)
Around ten people were reported still missing, believed buried under rubble. It is now estimated that 52 people were killed - the same number that died in the London suicide attacks of July 7, 2005. Another member of the team, Mohammad Asif Shinwari, said there were only three men among the dead and the rest were women and children. Marc Herold of the University of New Hampshire reports that eight of the victims were between 14 and 18 years of age. (http://pubpages.unh.edu/~mwherold/ Anotherweddingpartymassacre_July62008.html). The US military initially claimed only "militants" involved in mortar attacks had been killed.
A separate investigation into a July 4 strike in the northeastern province of Nuristan found that 17 civilians had been killed there. The coalition claimed they had killed several militants who were fleeing after attacking a base. But an Afghan official again confirmed that the victims were "all civilians." (http://afp.google.com/article/ ALeqM5joXBRRzFwxSG_I-Ucf34VMr379hQ) Afghan authorities said the dead included two doctors and two midwives who had been attempting to leave the area to escape military operations.
Air Force Times reports that allied warplanes are currently dropping a record number of bombs on Afghanistan. For the first half of 2008, aircraft dropped 1,853 bombs - more than they released during all of 2006 and more than half of 2007's total. But this only hints at the true extent of the slaughter. The figures do not include cannon rounds shot by fighters or AC-130 gunships, Hellfire and other small rockets launched by warplanes and drones, and assaults by helicopters. Air Force Times comments:
"In close-quarter firefights where friendly soldiers could be wounded if bombs are used, cannon fire and missiles are often the preferred alternative." (Bruce Rolfsen, 'Afghanistan hit by record number of bombs,' Air Force Times, July 18, 2008;
http://www.airforcetimes.com/news /2008/07/airforce_bomb_oef_071708/)
The response of the UK press to these latest atrocities is a case study in censorship by omission.
On July 12, the Guardian devoted 307 words to the attack on the wedding party. The killing of 39 women and children was not considered front page news - the story was buried on page 30. (Mohammad Rafiq Jalalabad, 'US air strike killed 47 civilians, says Afghan government,' The Guardian, July 12, 2008)
On the same day, a 490-word article in the Times focused on the fate of nine British troops injured when a US helicopter accidentally targeted them in a "friendly fire" incident. Six of the nine soldiers have since returned to duty, with three still receiving medical treatment. While 447 words were devoted to this story, the article concluded with two sentences totalling 43 words on the killing of the Afghan civilians:
"However, 47 civilians, most of them women and children, were killed when a US aircraft bombed a wedding party in eastern Afghanistan on Sunday, an Afghan government investigation has concluded. The nine-man investigation team found that only civilians were hit during the airstrike." (Dominic Kennedy and Michael Evans, 'Friendly fire inquiry to investigate messages from troops,' The Times, July 12, 2008)
At time of writing there have been five mentions of the 47 deaths in UK national quality newspapers.
Media reports on Western victims of terrorist or insurgent attacks typically provide detailed information on the names, backgrounds and personal histories of the victims. When the first female British soldier, Sarah Bryant, was killed in Afghanistan on June 17, the media poured forth details about her life. The BBC website showed pictures of Bryant's wedding and devoted an article to moving tributes from her husband, father, mother, commanding officer, unit commander, friends and colleagues. A friend of the family described Bryant: "A hundred per cent feminine, very pretty, very unassuming, a natural person, very happy - the sort of person that when she was in a room, it lit up." (http://news.bbc.co.uk/ 2/hi/uk_news/7463470.stm)
Bryant, recall, was a combatant. The depth of focus changes for Iraqi and Afghan non-combatant victims of US-UK violence. In a BBC online article, Martin Patience reported the July 6 attack:
"Regional officials said the casualties were attending a wedding party and that the bride had been killed." (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/7502137.stm)
We wrote to Patience (July 14), noting that he had reported that the bride had been among the victims. We asked him why he had not mentioned that fully 39 of the victims were women and children. He responded:
"I accept your point about not mentioning women and children, although, in my defence, the story was linked to the new story and I didn't necessarily want to repeat the details." (Email to Media Lens, July 14)
We wrote back:
"Thanks for your response, I appreciate it. But something doesn't add up. How often did the media provide us with the personal details - name, gender, photo, education, work lives, loved ones, aspirations - of the victims of the July 7 bomb attacks in London? [See here: (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/shared/spl/hi/ uk/05/london_blasts/victims/default.stm] The July 6 atrocity in Afghanistan has been reported a tiny handful of times in the press. Why would you be concerned about repeating the fact that almost all of the victims were women and children?" (Email, July 14)
We received no further reply but, to its credit, the BBC did subsequently publish an excellent piece on the July 6 attack: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/7504574.stm
Patience had earlier reported: "the latest claim of civilian casualties puts yet more pressure on the Afghan authorities and international forces to get it right when carrying out operations." (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7492195.stm)
The reference to the need for "international forces" to "get it right" might sound like neutral language. But imagine if a journalist had commented in August 1990 that claims of civilian casualties had put "yet more pressure on Saddam Hussein and the Iraqi forces to get it right when carrying out operations in Kuwait." The bias suddenly becomes very clear.
Militants And Mistakes
On July 12, Leonard Doyle of the Independent reported:
"The UN said last month that nearly 700 Afghan civilians had lost their lives in Afghanistan this year, about two-thirds in attacks by militants and about 255 in military operations." (Doyle, 'US to investigate air strike that killed 47 Afghan civilians,' The Independent, July 12, 2008)
From this, we were presumably to understand that the "militants" are not conducting "military operations", and Afghan government/"coalition" forces conducting "military operations" are not "militants".
The point being that "militant" is a pejorative term used by journalists to suggest illegitimacy. In June 1999, the BBC reported that "Kosovo Albanians have been welcoming the return of armed KLA soldiers." (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/369239.stm) KLA insurgents fighting Serbian forces were supported by the West and were regularly described as "soldiers" rather than "militants" or "insurgents". The British media have similarly referred to the "Chechen resistance" fighting the Russian army. Ironically, British and American journalists also commonly referred to Afghan forces fighting the 1979-1989 Soviet occupation of Afghanistan as "resistance fighters" and "freedom fighters" (See our media alert). The use of such terms is of course inconceivable in US-UK reporting of the current occupation.
On the rare occasions when US-UK atrocities are discussed, they are invariably described as blunders rather than crimes. On July 13, Alastair Leithead commented on the BBC's evening news:
"It's these mistakes that cost the US the support of the [Afghan] people."
In September 2004, the BBC's Nicholas Witchell reported on BBC TV news from Baghdad:
"As is so often the case in this conflict it's the Iraqi civilian population which suffers the greatest loss of life - either as a result of mistakes by the Americans, or, far more frequently, of course, as a result of the bombs and the bullets of the insurgents." (Witchell, BBC1, 18:00 News, September 30, 2004)
The bias could hardly be more transparent - we kill civilians only by "mistake", our enemies do not. Noam Chomsky comments:
"The more vulgar apologists for U.S. and Israeli crimes solemnly explain that, while Arabs purposely kill people, the U.S. and Israel, being democratic societies, do not intend to do so. Their killings are just accidental ones, hence not at the level of moral depravity of their adversaries." (Noam Chomsky, 'Terrorists wanted the world over.' February 26, 2008; http://www.tomdispatch.com/post/174899)
As Chomsky notes we can distinguish three categories of crimes: murder with intent, accidental killing, and murder with foreknowledge but without specific intent. When Israel's High Court authorised intense collective punishment of the people of Gaza by depriving them of electricity, when Bill Clinton bombed the al-Shifa pharmaceutical plant in 1998 in Sudan supplying half the country's drugs, and when Bush and Blair invaded Iraq, the devastating consequences for civilians were predictable, but ignored.
Certainly it is reprehensible to kill with intent. But is it any better to kill without intent when the likely consequences for our victims are so irrelevant that they do not even enter our minds? The point being, as Chomsky writes, that Western elites really do appear to regard Third World peoples "much as we do the ants we crush while walking down a street. We are aware that it is likely to happen (if we bother to think about it), but we do not intend to kill them because they are not worthy of such consideration." (Ibid)
When we assemble the different pieces of the media jigsaw puzzle, clear patterns emerge. Western victims are presented as real, important people with names, families, hopes and dreams. Iraqi and Afghan victims of British and American violence are anonymous, nameless. They are depicted as distant shadowy figures without personalities, feelings or families.
The result is that Westerners are consistently humanised, while non-Westerners are portrayed as lesser versions of humanity.
The goal of Media Lens is to promote rationality, compassion and respect for others. If you do write to journalists, we strongly urge you to maintain a polite, non-aggressive and non-abusive tone.

Today marks the first day of the year of the water dragon, one of the most revered years of the Chinese calendar. It's sure to bring good fortune and excitement! Food (and food symbolism) will play a big part in the next few weeks of celebrations. Here are some dishes for good luck in the coming year.
In Chinese culture, duck symbolizes luck and fidelity. Here's a fantastic recipe from one of our favorite chefs, Anita Lo. Her Breast of Duck with Hoisin and Figs mixes classic, Chinese flavors with a whimsical presentation. Or try this recipe for Roasted Pekin Duck with Shallot Confit, Asparagus, Shitake and Lily Bulb Stir Fry by Mercer Kitchen's Chris Beischer. Cambridge, Massachusetts chef, Jason Bond puts a smoky twist on a classic roast duck with his Holiday Hu-Kwa Duck which is cured with salt and smoked Hu-Kwa tea before being roasted and basted in it's own juices.
Fresh oranges symbolize wealth and unity. This easy recipe for Pekin Duck with Orange Cassis Sauce is warming and rich, perfect for winter. And if you ask us, you can't go wrong with a classic Duck a l'Orange.
Eat stir-fried greens for wealth since the Cantonese word for lettuce sounds like "growing fortune." Marcus Samuelsson's Greens combine winter kale with sweet, baby bok choy and Asian flavors like soy sauce, mirin, ginger and lemongrass. Delicious!
Fried Dumplings also symbolize wealth with their golden color and ingot shape. For a decadent French spin, try these Deep Fried Dumplings with Foie Gras and Chicken Livers.
The golden color of fried spring rolls equals good fortune. Try our recipe for Duck Confit Spring Rolls with Cashews and Sweet Potatoes. (a double whammy of golden deliciousness!)
Red is a lucky color during Chinese New Year and red-cooked chicken is a classic "lucky" dish, symbolizing happiness and good fortune. Mark Bittman's version of Soy Poached Chicken is delicious and easy to make at home. Or try this sophisticated Twice Cooked Chicken with Shiitake Mushrooms, Ginger Garlic Relish and Star Anise Broth from Highlands chef, Chris Rendell.
Whichever dishes you indulge in, we wish you prosperity, good health and lots of luck in the new year! And as our Chinese friends say, 吉慶有餘! (May your happiness be without limit!)

Still No Meeting After One Year
Fund: Cardinal Venture Capital
Posted by Anonymous on 2007-08-31
I am not even sure Cardinal is in business anymore. After several years in the VC business, I contacted Christian to share with him my new start-up, and got shuffled into the EA for scheduling. He was "booked" three months out! Ok, so I put a tickler on my schedule for 6 weeks later and tried again. Still no luck - the EA was working harder than he was trying to get a meeting set-up, but he was too booked to look at new deals. At this point, I'm just playing a game with them ... I'd never take their money if this is the kind of firm they are. You really have to wonder whether they are investing at all.PRIVATE: Members Only

A scholarship is a form of gift assistance that does not have to be repaid. Scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis to students of high academic ability who enroll full time in an eligible college and are awarded by Marquette and private organizations.
Marquette offers a wide variety of merit scholarships to freshman and transfer students that support the university's mission while recognizing student achievement — excellence in and out of the classroom, commitment to community service, and demonstrated leadership.
Important note: Please be aware that Marquette scholarships are intended to cover tuition expenses only. Therefore, if you receive a full-tuition scholarship from another source (ROTC or any outside organization, etc.), you are no longer eligible for the Marquette scholarship. Likewise, if you receive scholarship aid from all sources (including private scholarships) exceeding your cost of education, your Marquette scholarship will be reduced.
Scholarship opportunities offered to entering freshmen and transfer students include a variety of full-tuition, general and special awards. For more information, visit the scholarship section on the Office of Undergraduate Admissions' site.
Scholarship opportunities offered to continuing undergraduate students include:
Scholarships and assistantships are awarded by the following schools and programs:
Questions concerning scholarships and assistantships should be directed to the admissions office or dean's office of the school or program in which you plan to enroll.

ANTHOLZ-ANTERSELVA, Italy - Biathlon World Cup leader Martin Fourcade led France to its first relay victory of the season on Sunday.
In the final meet before the Sochi Olympics, the French team of brothers Martin and Simon Fourcade along with Alexis Boeuf and Jean-Guillaum Beatrix crossed the line in 1 hour, 14 minutes and 34.1 seconds.
Sweden was second, 2.6 seconds slower, with Germany taking bronze after finishing 38.8 seconds behind France in the 4×7.5-kilometer event.
Martin Fourcade and Sweden's Carl Johan Bergman had reached the last shooting range level but the Frenchman shot quicker before charging to victory.
The women's race was cancelled after heavy fog descended during the second leg. The fog also delayed the start of the men's event.

When your order is picked up by the shipping company, we will notify you via email the tracking number for your shipment. You can track your package online or over the phone with the shipping company. Most companies can provide an estimated delivery date. We ship items with different carriers based on the size of the furniture and the special services you requested.
Small Item - Whenever possible we will ship smaller, lighter items via UPS, FEDEX or USPS. These companies provide the fastest and most reliable method of shipping available for many items we sell. Depending on how far you are from our distribution center, your furniture will arrive between 1 and 10 business days after it leaves our distribution center. We require an adult's signature for deliveries. Please note that the decision to leave your package without a signature is at the discretion of the delivery person.

I am applying for a teaching position and have written a cover letter, but would like the opinion of a 3rd person that I do not know. I have obviously replaced some sensitive information, but if someone could evaluate the following letter and give me your opinions or suggestions, that would be WONDERFUL! Thank you!
I am interested in applying for the Lower School teaching position advertised on Monster.com.
During my time at XXXX Universitys School of Education, I had the pleasure of spending 3 weeks at XXXXXX School in Mrs. Y's 2nd grade classroom. In this setting, I was able to work on bringing an artistic side into my teaching skills to be more interesting and flexible in the classroom. These skills followed me into student teaching, where I used my capabilities in technology and the arts to grab the interest of my students in even the most difficult of topics. I have spent the last several months at XXXXX utilizing Safe Crisis Management and many behavior management systems that target different abilities and behaviors.
I have learned that teaching is more than classrooms and lessons, but changing what the world looks like for a child. Previous experiences have been spent defining skills in management, organization and communication, and sharing the knowledge gained from previous experiences with my co-workers.
If I have changed one child, I have done my job, and it is what I strive to do on a daily basis. Teaching is a passion and way of life to me. I would like the opportunity to schedule an interview time that is convenient for you and your hiring committee to discuss my qualifications in a more complete manner. Thank you for the time taken to review my enclosed cover letter and resume.
The best time to reach me would be early morning or late afternoon at (555) 555-5555.

Bautista, Lawrie Lift Blue Jays Over Twins
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Jose Bautista had three hits and an RBI, and Brett Lawrie hit a grand slam in the ninth inning to help the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Minnesota Twins 9-3 on Tuesday night.
Edwin Encarnacion had two hits and an RBI, and Aaron Loup won in relief of starter Brandon Morrow, who lasted 3 2-3 innings on a 35-degree night at Target Field. The Blue Jays led 5-2 going into the ninth before Lawrie's towering drive off Jared Burton put it away.
Chris Colabello had three hits and an RBI, and Trevor Plouffe hit a solo home run for the Twins. But right-hander Phil Hughes watched an impressive start go to waste in Toronto's five-run sixth inning.
Hughes gave up four runs and eight hits with seven strikeouts in five-plus innings to snap Minnesota's three-game winning streak.

Yes, the DIP switch settings sound right.
If you've modified Jenny's code to reflect the real serial COM port number and it's still not working, I really don't know what else it could be other than another process that has the same COM port open.
No announcement yet.
using RB-530 with Matlab
new posts
Leave a comment:
Hisham, thanks for your quick reply.
I had determined the port using device manager, as suggested on the website.
Concerning the dip switches, they were set to 1,2up 3,4 down, as recommended on the Jenny Reid webiste ('RB series' mode). Is this accurate?
Leave a comment:
this is probably occuring due to the com port being perpetually busy
To determine for sure which COM port the USB driver has assigned to your response pad, use Windows' Device Manager. See this web page on Determining or Changing the USB Driver's COM Port Setting.
Also, are all the DIP switches down?
Leave a comment:
I've had a closer look and identified the problem -
the try catch loop under the 'open' command is failing and this is causing the output argument to not get assigned - this is probably occuring due to the com port being perpetually busy. No amount of windows/matlab restarting is sufficient in freeing it up. Any tips on how to fix this problem?
Leave a comment:
jenny, thanks for setting up the website with tips on how to use the cedrus buttonbox.
I've recently acquired RB530. on installing it, I also experienced that after installing the usb device drivers, I also had an unknown device (serial port) detected and had to install drivers for that - afterwards i could see com3 assigned to the RB530.
I downloaded the matlab scripts and am trying to use them now. However, when I try to use the cedrusresponsebox.m script, on trying to open the communication with it by
mybox = CedrusResponseBox('Open', 'COM3') i get the following error:
??? Error using ==> CedrusResponseBox
Too many output arguments.
Error in ==> main_Scone_control at 35
mybox = CedrusResponseBox('Open', 'COM3');
i think there must be some kind of error in the way the script runs on my version of matlab (i've got 7.3.0). Any tips?

Thanks Steve! I'll be happy to hear anyone else's experiences with either this code or their own.... Best wishes, Jenny

MATLAB function to read data from Cedrus RB x30 device
Dear Jenny
Here's some hacked-together code for a cedrusxid.m function file we wrote today for you.
function [button time] = cedrusxid
s1 = serial('COM2', 'BaudRate', 115200,'DataBits', 8, 'StopBits', 1, 'FlowControl', 'none', 'Parity', 'none', 'Terminator', 'CR', 'Timeout', 400, 'InputBufferSize', 16000);
% % Sets the device protocol to XID mode
% % Note: char(13) sends the Carriage Return terminator
% fprintf(s1,['c10',char(13)]);
% % Debug information from http://www.cedrus.com/xid/properties.htm
% %
% % Note: 0 is ASCII value 48, 1 is ASCII value 49, and so forth.
% fprintf(s1,['_d3',char(13)]);
% fread(s1,1)
% fprintf(s1,['_d1',char(13)]);
% fscanf(s1)
% Sets the device protocol to XID mode
% Note: char(13) sends the Carriage Return terminator
% XID devices send six bytes of information in the following format:
% <"k"><key info><RT>:
% The first parameter is simply the letter "k", lower case
% The second parameter consists of one byte, divided into the following
% bits
% Bits 0-3 store the port number. For Lumina LP-400, the push buttons and
% scanner trigger are on port 0; the RJ45 I/O lines are on port 1.
% For SV?1, voice key is on port 2 and the RJ45 is on port 1 – there is
% no port 0. For the RB-x30 response pads, the push buttons are on port 0
% and the RJ45 port is on port 1.
% Bit 4 stores an action flag. If set, the button has been pressed. If
% cleared, the button has been released.
% Bits 5-7 indicate which push button was pressed.
% The reaction time consists of four bytes and is the time elapsed since
% the Reaction Time timer was last reset. See description of command "e5".
% Information taken from http://www.cedrus.com/xid/protocols.htm
response = fread(s1,6);
% Extracts byte 2 to determine which button was pushed
button = (response(2));
% Extracts bytes 3-6 and is the time elapsed in milliseconds since the
% Reaction Time timer was last reset
% For more information about the use of XID timers refer to
% http://www.cedrus.com/xid/timing.htm
time = (response(3)+(response(4)*256)+(response(5)*65536) +(response(6)*(65536*256)));
Hope this helps.

Cedrus doesn't currently provide code fragment showing how to read key presses from our response pads. If someone is reading this who does have such code fragment, we'd be happy to post it on our web site and give you full credit for it.
If there is enough interest, we'd be happy to create a sub-forum for Matlab users who want to interface with Cedrus' hardware products.
