The Oklahoman
March 29, 1908
Pioneer Saloon of Territories
Was Operated at Caddo, 30 years Ago;
Closed by Soldiers
Special to the Oklahoman
Muskogee, Okla. March 25- The first saloon that was ever opened in Indian Territory was at Caddo. It was about 30 years (ago), and the M.K.&T. railroad had just completed its line as far south as Caddo, which point had been made the fright depot for Fort Sill and other military posts to the west and south. Supplies for the posts were shipped by rail to Caddo and from there long caravans of prairie freighters took the supplies overland. From Caddo to the southwest along these trails the bootlegger flourished. The nearest authority was the federal court at Fort Smith, Ark. and the deputy marshals rode out from there, and the bootleggers, with their scouts always out, easily evaded them.
A Chickasaw named Johnson, a desperate character, decided that he would openly defy the law and sell whiskey as he pleased. So her opened up a saloon. Whiskey was sold over the bar, the same as anywhere else. Johnson had gathered around him a good sized band of men as reckless as himself and for four months he ran his saloon in open and notorious defiance of the United States marshal at Fort Smith. Often times a stranger would appear and ask for a drink of whiskey. If he had the money he could get it, but he was usually treated to the extra thrill of looking into the muzzle of a six-shooter while he drank it, for these men took no chances.
Finally the federal authorities determined that this saloon had to be wiped out or the authority of the marshal and his deputies over the territory might as well be revoked. But the marshal found the job too big for him so the war department was appealed to. One morning a squad of soldiers dropped off the train at Caddo and quickly surrounded the saloon, called upon Johnson and his gang to come out. Johnson came to the door and saw the situation. When told to surrender he asked for time to consult his men. The commander of the squad gave him just ten seconds. But before the time was up, Johnson followed by the gang, walked out of the saloon, each man with his hands up.

Kabinett & Kammer
We recently saw Sean Scherer's home on re-nest via The New York Times so when my husband and I were up in the Catskills this weekend and came across one of the best antique stores I have ever seen, it felt like major déjà vu.
Kabinett & Kammer is in the tiny hamlet of Andes, New York and is one of a handful of antique stores there. Sean, the owner, is an artist and collector and his stock of 19th century prints, taxidermy, and myriad of shells and scientific instruments is clearly curated to his interests in science, history, education and the extraordinary natural world.

A judge found enough evidence at a hearing Tuesday to send on to trial a prison inmate accused of plotting the murder of his ex-wife and her new husband.
A cellmate of Lawrence Oklin Cinnamon, 50, testified he went to police in 2008 because he was convinced Cinnamon would carry out the murders and leave the victims' daughter without a family. The two were at the Gus Harrison Correctional Facility in Madison Township at the time.
Former cellmate Robert Farrell, now on parole, testified in Lenawee County District Court that he risked his own safety to report Cinnamon's plans.
"It made me feel bad that these two people were going to be killed," Farrell told Judge Laura J. Schaedler. It might have become known he had "snitched" while he was still in prison, he said.
"What happens to snitches in prison?" asked assistant Lenawee County Prosecutor Scott Baker.
"They get hurt," Farrell said.
Defense attorney Rebecca Tieppo of Warren questioned whether Farrell was trying to protect himself from prosecution.
"You led Mr. Cinnamon to believe you were willing to kill somebody for money, correct?" she asked. She pressed Farrell with questions that he came up with the plan to murder Cinnamon's ex-wife and her husband in order to access money that belonged to a daughter she had with Cinnamon.
"You led him to believe you were serious?" Tieppo asked.
"Absolutely," Farrell said.
"In fact, he shut you down over and over again when you talked about formulating a plan," she said.
"No," Farrell said. He testified Cinnamon continued to pursue the plan while both were free on parole in December 2008.
A letter Cinnamon sent to Farrell stated, "Everything we talked about is on 100 percent."
Tieppo argued neither that sentence in the letter nor Farrell's testimony were enough to prove there was a serious murder plan that Cinnamon took action on.
"There's nothing that rises to the level of seriously soliciting murder," she said in arguing for dismissal of charges.
The two counts of solicitation to murder carry maximum life prison terms.
Schaedler said that while some details were left out of how the murders would be committed, "There is a fairly long list of details that are already cooked up."
Those details, she said, included hiding a gun, digging holes to bury the bodies, using cellphones that could not be traced and amounts of money that would be paid.
Cinnamon was returned to prison while he awaits arraignment in circuit court on Nov. 28. He is currently serving time for a 2010 aggravated stalking conviction in Washtenaw County.
Judge rules prison inmate to stand trial for plotting murder

text: New rules for transferring shares in Russian limited liability companies and immovable property Corporate Update Share this 22 JAN 2016 By: Steffen Kaufmann Maria Shevchenko On 29 December 2015, Federal Law No. 391-FZ, which introduces new rules for transferring shares in LLCs and immovable property ("Law"), was signed. Some of the relevant changes are summarised in this alert. Moment of transfer of ownership rights to LLC shares Before the entry into force of the Law, shares in Russian limited liability companies ("LLCs") were considered to have been transferred to the acquirer from the moment the transaction was notarised, and the subsequent process of registering such change in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities ("Register") was merely a technical step. From 15 January 2016 the ownership right to a share in an LLC arises from the moment such change is entered into the Register. This amendment does not apply in the case of transferring shares to the LLC itself. It remains to be seen to what extent this amendment solves the current issue of not being able to properly separate signing from completion in an LLC share transaction. Prior to the amendment the law provided that upon notarisation of a share transfer, the agreement enters into force and at the same time the share is deemed transferred. This created practical difficulties when parties intended to agree on certain conditions precedent to be fulfilled prior to completion. This has often been addressed by entering into another - preliminary or framework - agreement to create binding obligations and by signing the actual share transfer agreement at completion, which sometimes degrades the share transfer agreement to not much more than a mere transfer instrument. Under the new rules, the notary will need to file for the share transfer registration within two business days from the notarisation of the share transfer agreement, unless a longer term is stipulated by such agreement. Depending on how the practice will develop there is a chance that signing and completion could be separated going forward, but this would require the notaries to assume functions similar to an escrow agent, verifying whether the completion conditions have been met. Furthermore, the amendment may make the process of completing M&A transactions even more complex, as it is unclear when exactly the state registration (ie completion) will occur. Therefore, either the seller will need to bear the risk of transferring the shares before getting paid or the buyer would take the risk of paying before becoming the owner of the shares. This uncertainty is likely to lead to a broader use of escrow or other security arrangements in Russian M&A transactions going forward. Taking into account the amendments introduced by the Law, the new process of transferring LLC shares is as follows: The purchaser and the seller conclude an agreement regarding the transfer of the shares in the presence of a notary. Depending on the corporate structure and the provisions of the company's charter, before such agreement is concluded the seller may also be required to send the company and the other shareholders an offer, which from 1 January 2016 is subject to notarisation, and have the refusals to use their pre-emptive right to buy such interest notarised. The notary who notarised the transaction, within two business days from the date of such notarisation (unless a longer term is stipulated by the agreement) should submit to the registration authorities an application to enter the relevant changes into the Register. In a change from the old procedure, from 1 January 2016 this application must be signed by the notary who notarised the transaction and affixed with the notary's stamp. Previously, such application was signed directly by the individual selling the shares or by representatives of the legal entity selling the interest. The new procedure thereby allows individuals who are shareholders of LLCs to issue a power of attorney for the conclusion of the agreement on transferring the shares and therefore they would not need to attend its notarisation themselves. Within three days from the moment the transfer agreement was notarised, the notary who performed the notarisation or another person stated in the agreement shall send the company a notification on the transaction attaching to it copies of the application submitted to the registration authority. Procedure of concluding an option agreement in relation to shares in LLCs Recent amendments introduced an "option agreement" as a new contract type to the Russian Civil Code. Although these amendments entered into force already on 1 June 2015, up until present the conclusion of an option agreement in relation to shares in a LLC has been difficult to implement in practice as there were no clear statutory requirements in this regard. The amendments introduced by the Law now regulate in detail the procedure of entering into an option agreement in relation to transferring LLC shares. The procedure of entering into an option agreement is as follows: The seller of the shares should have an irrevocable offer notarised. Upon the acceptance or occurrence of other conditions provided by the option, the acceptance should be notarised, and from this moment the irrevocable offer is considered to have been accepted. If the irrevocable offer was made under a condition precedent or a condition subsequent, the accepting party must provide the notary with evidence that the relevant condition has or has not occurred, which should be set out in advance in the option agreement. After the notarisation of the acceptance, the notary should, within two business days from the date of the notarisation unless a longer term is stipulated in the agreement, submit an application to the registration authority to have the relevant changes entered on the Register and send the offeror a notification regarding the acceptance. Necessity to notarise a range of transactions involving immoveable property Before the entry into force of the Law, all transactions in relation to Russian immoveable property (with certain exceptions) could be concluded in simple written form and did not require notarisation prior to registering the ownership transfer in the state register for immovable property rights. The Law now introduces the requirement to notarise several more types of transactions involving immoveable property, which previously were not subject to notarisation. In addition the requirement of state registration of the rights to such property remains in force and ownership transfers only upon such state registration. From 29 December 2015 the following transactions must be notarised: transactions involving the sale of a share in land ownership; transactions involving the sale of a share in a common ownership right to a third party; transactions involving the disposal of immoveable property on the basis of fiduciary management or guardianship; transactions involving the sale of immoveable property belonging to a minor or a citizen recognised as having limited legal capacity.

Tom Cruise Collection (US - BD RA)
Jonathan is going to take a break from watching Tom Cruise movies now...
Top Gun
Top Gun is one of those movies where I don't fall in line with the general consensus. I'm not sure if popular culture latches onto this movie because it is bad in a fun way, or if people genuinely think it is good. I've noticed that people love to nickname themselves after the characters and quote the movie among friends, but I always found the writing and characters to be obnoxious and bland. I get why people like it... its got fighter jets and an attractive cast... but it's the same superficial reason that people like jocks in high school. And much like those stereotypical jocks in high school, there is a heaping pile of homoeroticism at the center of it. The Tarantino monologue from Sleep With Me (just search online for it, don't bother with the whole film) where he goes into great detail about how Top Gun is the story of a man struggling with his homosexuality is the best thing this film has ever spawned. Watching the film from this perspective proves to be a much more fascinating viewing experience. If I want to watch a movie about fighter pilots that is so bad it's enjoyable, the Iron Eagle films are my go-to.
Ah, remember when Michael Mann made good movies? Collateral was the last film of his that I remember liking. His earlier films like Thief and Manhunter have influenced dozens of classics since, and he dominated the 90's with critically acclaimed hits like Heat and The Insider. Collateral finds him trapped somewhere between then and now, both literally and stylistically. It was his first digital movie and he hasn't turned away from the format since. While I was hesitant about the rough look at first, it feels very right and gives the dimly lit streets of LA a gritty appearance you don't see on film. The movies success lies in the hands of Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx who both give terrific performances here. The plot follows Max (Foxx) as he is forced to transport a contract killer, Vincent (Cruise), around LA to his various targets. What elevates the material above your usual thriller is the philosophical exchanges that Max and Vincent partake in during the cab rides. Max is a laid back dreamer who avoids confrontation, and Vincent seems to embrace his own insignificance, using it to rationalize his actions. Their dichotomy is fascinating, and both characters grow in their own ways and figure out how to push each other's buttons before the movie runs it's course. Mann enjoyed mixing the worlds of his opponents before in Heat, when Pacino and De Niro stopped to have a cup of coffee together. Here, he attaches them at the hip for nearly an entire film and lets the drama unfold (and some humour too). The action scenes themselves are not particularly memorable, but Mann hits the mark so well below the surface level that you almost don't care.
Minority Report
I consider Minoriy Report by far the most successful of Spielberg's sci-fi efforts in the last decade. After recently revisiting Artificial Intelligence I still think that it's half of a great movie and half a mess. More on War of the Worlds in the next mini-review. Spielberg has me convinced that the future is going to be a place with lots of grain and higher contrasts. This distinct look that he loves to employ with every sci-fi film has never worked better than it does in Minority Report. Strip away the sci-fi gadgets and weird cars and you'd have, at it's core, a gritty noir thriller. Cruise isn't breaking away from character here, playing much of the same "agent on the run" character that he has many times before, but this is one of the finer incarnations of it and he gives a compelling performance. Scott Frank did a terrific job of adapting Phillip K. Dick's narrative devices to create a blockbuster thriller. It features some of the same pitfalls that annoy me in many Spielberg movies, like the older character who doesn't really know what's going on but somehow gives the appropriate wisdom to the main character, or some plot holes that are conveniently stepped over. Minor quibbles aside, this is still among the better films Spielberg has released in the last decade.
War of the Worlds
This is one of those movies where you can't help but admire that flawless Spielberg production value. The special effects blew me away when I initially saw this movie, and while the bar has been raised since, they still look great today. Unfortunately the special effects alone don't make the movie, and it suffers from a harsh case of third act blues. Tom Cruise's character doesn't make much of an impression in this movie. Where Vincent, Maverick, and John Anderton are all planted firmly in my brain, I couldn't tell you the name of Cruise's character here, and I just watched it last night. He's just playing the action hero dad here, and that would've been fine if the narrative held up better. There are some nagging plot holes and unconvincing character decisions throughout the movie, but I was willing to let them slide in light of the captivating special effects feast. Around the two-thirds mark, the compelling sci-fi flick came to a screeching halt for me. Once the main characters take shelter with Tim Robbin's character, the film transforms from an intense frantic thriller to a weird stagnant horror segment where the characters don't develop in any memorable ways and the scenes intended to be scary fail to raise goose bumps.
Days of Thunder
This is one of those films that follows the formula and does it with competence, but I just really don't get much enjoyment out of watching it. The movie is often saddled with the description of being " Top Gun with cars", and it totally deserves it. To some that is probably a very appealing premise, but as you could probably piece together from my Top Gun mini-review, I'm not one of those people. At least Top Gun has the homoerotic subtext (intentional or not) that makes it interesting. There is none of that here. The only joy I really get out of Days of Thunder is from watching the actors perform. Seeing a young John C. Reilly, Michael Rooker, and Nicole Kidman is fun in a way, and Robert Duvall just can't help but be entertaining to watch.
Top Gun looks pretty good given the age of the Blu-ray disc (it is from the 2008 release) and the age of the film. There is definitely some noticeable DNR here and there, but its not enough to ruin the transfer. It has a nice dated film grain to it that looks right, even if the grain is a bit harsh against the blue skies. Blue gradients in the sky are sometimes a bit blocky from compression, but more often than not the skies look just as I'd expect from this release. Scenes that take place on the ground look considerably cleaner.
Collateral, shot in digital, was never destined to have the most crisp and saturated transfer. Colours don't improve much from the old Paramount DVD, but the high definition does bring out a lot of gritty detail that the old format didn't. The digital noise looks a lot more natural here and doesn't give way to blocking like it would in a more compressed state. There isn't a whole lot to say about this one. It's not a clean looking transfer, but taking into account the quality of digital cameras at the time, it looks exactly as I would expect it to. I don't fault Paramount's transfer at all.
Minority Report has a very strong video presentation. Spielberg's bright, grainy visual style eliminates any possibility of rich colours and realistic skin tones, but taking his creative choices into account there is very little to complain about with this transfer. Deep blacks and incredibly bright whites often share the screen in Minority Report, and both look very clean without any noticeable artifacts. There is a fine layer of grain that looks very natural and filmic throughout, sometimes growing very harsh in scenes with sharp contrasts and extreme lighting. As a result of Spielberg's touches, the film isn't always very attractive, but this digital transfer is free of blame and a worthy representation of his vision.
War of the Worlds came out around the same time Minority Report did on Blu-ray, and it looks like the film was given a very similar treatment in the AV department. The contrasting lighting in War of the Worlds never reaches the same extremity as Minority Report, but it features some of the same less saturated, grainy touches that he used there. This digital transfer of the movie is nearly flawless, porting the harsh, ever-present grain over without any ugly artifacts rearing their head. In some ways, the transfer is so competent that it makes the special effects look bad. I thought the CGI was pretty flawless when the movie came out in theatres, but here I can see quite clearly that the alien ships don't blend into the environments as well as I remembered.
Days of Thunder looks similar to the Top Gun transfer. There aren't as many instances of DNR, but the movie has that same dated filmic appearance. I personally like this look and prefer it to a digitally scrubbed image. Detail looks good, even if it is a little on the soft side. You can still plenty details like coat textures, the jagged asphalt, or the crisp curly lines in Nicole Kidman's hair. Black levels are decent and colour tones look natural (except when Tony Scott uses that ugly burnt orange filter over the sky). There are a lot of little specks and damage marks throughout the entire movie that are somewhat distracting.
Top Gun's feature takes up approximately 35 GB of space on the Blu-ray disc; almost twice as much as some transfers. The reason, I'm assuming, is because they crammed a Dolby TrueHD 5.1 track and a DTS-HD Master Audio 6.1 track into it. I put on the DTS-HD Master Audio track myself. It is loud and the sound of the jets will keep the bass channel rumbling. With jets flying everywhere I expected the mix to be a bit more dynamic, but perhaps I was expecting too much given the film's age. It works best as a loud roaring track than a spacious one.
Collateral comes with a subtly effective DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track that features plenty of ambient noise. Sounds of the city will fill the extra channels throughout much of the movie. Gunshots are loud and punchy. The soundtrack, which includes a memorable use of Audioslave's 'Shadow on the Sun', sounds terrific here and never drowns out the crisp dialogue. Paul Oakenfold's 'Ready Steady Go' plays quite loudly during the nightclub shootout, effectively imitating the blaring loudness of the club music. During this scuffle you can also here sounds of the panicking patrons in the surround channels. It is by far the most dynamic scene in the sound mix.
Minority Report has a very impressive DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track. All too often I watch movies on Blu-ray where the action is loud, but the dialogue is drastically quieter. The engineers behind this mix understand that just because characters are talking softly doesn't meant the volume needs to be cranked down. Dialogue is perfectly audible and crisp. The action sequences are filled all kinds of extra noise in the surround channels, be it the moving bits of machinery in a factory or the whirring of cars. John Williams score sounds great too. This movie has some really tense scenes and this practically flawless audio track from Paramount really drives the intensity home.
War of the World's comes with an equally impressive DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track that will shake your living room and wake up your neighbors. The LFE activity on this track is insane during the alien invasion. That very distinct blaring noise that comes from the alien ships is especially alarming and loud. You can hear panic and the sounds of passing vehicles spaciously occupying the surround channels. Some quieter scenes feature ambient effects which include some creepy gusts of wind. John William's score sets the brisk pace and is appropriately leveled so that it never drowns out the sound of the clear dialogue or the action on screen. It's better than I remember it sounding in the theatre.
Days of Thunder arrives with a Dolby TrueHD 5.1 track that unfortunately falls into the area I mentioned in my Minority Report audio coverage. The racing scenes are extremely loud. The cars roar, and in this high quality mix you can really hear the age of the some of the sound effects used for the cars. Dialogue is sometimes far too quiet in comparison to the racing scenes. I found myself turning down the volume a bit to keep from going deaf during a race, then having to crank it back up to make out what someone was saying a minute later. The best thing about Days of Thunder is Hans Zimmer's score. It gets me excited during the opening credits before I quickly remember how boring the rest of the movie is. I'm happy to report that the score sounds rich and deep here, and have no complaints about it's volume levels or the clarity of it. Like Top Gun, the mix doesn't have the type of spatial effects you'd hope for in a movie about loud moving objects, but there is some well used background noise and a few stereo effects thrown in there.
The discs included in this Blu-ray collection are from the previous Blu-ray releases. The only exception is Minority Report, which is missing the second disc of extra features in this set.
Top Gun kicks off with a commentary track by producer Jerry Bruckheimer, director Tony Scott, co-screenwrither Jack Epps Jr, technical advisor Pete Pettigrew and naval experts Captain Mike Galpin and Vice Admiral Mike McCabe. Next up is Danger Zone: The Making of 'Top Gun' (SD, 02:27:42), a massive 6-part documentary that covers the filming of the movie and lots of the production development. This is followed by Multi-Angle Storyboards that have an optional commentary track with Tony Scott. Best of the Best: Inside the Real Top Gun takes a look into the real Top Gun training program. Vintage Gallery is a section that includes some small featurettes, music videos, and television spots.
Collateral comes with a commentary track from none other than Michael Mann himself. City of Night: The Making of 'Collateral' (SD, 40:59) is an in-depth behind the scenes look at the origin of the story and the actor's preparations for their roles. Special Delivery (SD, 01:09) is a quick look at Tom Cruise posing as a FedEx delivery man to practice being unrecognizable for his role. Shooting on Location: Annie's Office (SD, 02:34) is a brief featurette covering a sequence in the film. Following this is Tom Cruise & Jamie Foxx Rehearse (SD, 04:13), a neat little feature that shows the two actors rehearsing for their scenes together and then showing how it went in the final product. Visual Effects: MTA Train (SD, 02:27) is a brief example of how some special effects were done towards the end of the movie. There's also one deleted scene (SD, 01:57) with Mann's commentary and some trailers.
Minority Report, as previously mentioned, only comes with the first disc from the Blu-ray release. This disc has no special features on it.
War of the Worlds comes packaged with the special features from the 2-disc collector's DVD. These start off with Revisiting the Invastion (SD, 07:39), which features some behind the scenes material and interviews with the filmmakers. The H.G. Wells Legacy (SD, 06:30) is a quick look at the author and some previous incarnations of this story. [i]Steven Spielberg and the Original War of the Worlds (SD, 08:00) has more behind the scenes details and Spielberg talks about his inspiration for making the film. Characters: The Family Unit (SD, 13:20) is a look into the characters and the casting process. This is followed by Pre-visualization (SD, 07:40) which unveils some of the process that went into the special effects. Next up is Production Diaries (SD, 01:32:00), a four-part in depth look that substitutes for a usual "making of" extra and goes into tons of detail on the film's production and shooting process. Designing the Enemy: Tripods and Aliens (SD, 14:00) covers the origins and design choices for the aliens in the movie. Scoring 'War of the Worlds' (SD, 15:00) is a nice look at John William's score and finally We Are Not Alone (SD, 03:10) which is a brief wrap-up to the extras section, taking one last look at production elements.
Days of Thunder arrives with only a theatrical trailer (SD, 02:25).
Well there you have it. Paramount has given you an opportunity to get five technically sound Blu-rays together for a reasonable price. If you've been putting off buying these previously released Blu-rays, like I have, then this is a great opportunity to catch up. Minority Report fans who love extra features may want to pass on this set as it does not include the second disc of special features from the previous release.

despite being a kid of the 80s, i only saw Top Gun for the first time a few months back. dont get me wrong, i've seen bits and pieces over the years but i never watched it beginning to end. well as with many 80s movies, i think it needs nostalgia to be good because i found it quite boring. i guess i wasn't expecting it to be 20% action movie and 80% "love story" so that didnt help.
but of course once we reach the infamous volleyball game...hilarity ensues. i mean its only homoerotic or whatever due to the world we now live in. that sorta stuff was the norm in many movies of the day but it doesnt make it any less laughable.

This article or section is a stub. Please help Tolkien Gateway by expanding it.
Qenya was the original name of the High-Elven tongue which gradually would change into Quenya of the Lord of the Rings. In the earliest versions of the legendarium Qenya was the language of the First Tribe of the Elves, the Lindar (Vanyar in the later legendarium).
Qenya goes back to at least 1915 when Tolkien compiled the "Qenya Lexicon".
Qenya was started by Tolkien who wished to emulate the phonoesthetics of the Finnish language. Early Qenya has been reported to have much more Finnish influences, compared to the later stages[1].
During that time, Tolkien used to write the sound [kʷ] simply as a single q. Therefore both spellings Qenya and Quenya are always supposed to be pronounced the same ([ˈkʷeɲa]). While writing the Lord of the Rings, Tolkien decided to adopt the romanized spelling qu and replace k with c. These changes were mainly aesthetic in order to accentuate the role of Quenya as an "Elf-latin". This does not alter the pronounciation.
Since the High-Elven language changed throughout Tolkien's lifetime from its conception until late in his life, some Tolkienists and linguists deliberately use the spelling "Qenya" (without "u") to differentiate the early version of this language from the later. Helge Fauskanger used to refer to that stage of Quenya as "immature Qenya" in order to make clear that he refers to Tolkien's point of view and not an early historical stage of Quenya, as in ancient Quenya of Valinor.
The differentiation between Qenya and Quenya has been criticized as artificial, since it neglects the continuity and gradual evolution of the language; although Tolkien replaced old ideas with newer ones, there is no indication that he divided his conception into stages, and no definite point which separates Qenya from Quenya can be traced. Also, the term "immature" was considered controversial and derogatory[2].

TORONTO — Eli Rubenstein is being honoured on Nov. 11 for his many years of dedication to the Jewish community, and his synagogue, Congregation Habonim.
His synagogue is bestowing the honour in the 25th year of Rubenstein's service as a spiritual leader to the congregation, along with recognizing the long service of Cantor Esther Ghan-Firestone and her accompanist Larry Clements.
"Eli's a true Jewish leader, and because of his longevity in the shul, I think the congregation felt it was appropriate," said Avrum Rosensweig, associate religious leader for Congregation Habonim.
Rosensweig called him a bit like the pied piper in the way he attracts the people he meets.
"He's a very funny person, and I think when he works with young people and adults, he brings out the best in them," he said.
Rubenstein, who has worked with many bar and bat mitzvah students over the past several decades, said he loves to work with young people to inspire them and help their reach their full potential.
"In my life, I often meet people who don't realize the potential and ability they have," he said. "How wonderful it is to help them grow into the person they don't necessarily know they can be."
Twenty-five years ago, then-president of Habonim, Gangolf Herman, did the same to him. The rabbi at the time had announced his resignation, and so Herman begged Rubenstein to take over the synagogue, telling him it was his duty and responsibility given that Holocaust survivors built the synagogue, and they feared without Rubenstein's help, the synagogue would disappear, Rubenstein said.
He agreed to help out until they found someone more permanent. But 25 years later, he's still there. "I realized that I was able to fashion a kind of Judaism that worked for me and the community," he said. "We've created a very safe space for people of a variety of backgrounds."
He said inclusiveness is incredibly important to his life, and his synagogue.
"There's enough strife and criticism and pettiness outside, let's not take that into the synagogue," he said.
That's an attitude he's held through all areas of his life, Rosensweig said. "Eli seems to cross all boundaries. I'm not sure how he does that, but I don't think he sees lines between people."
For example, he has integrated himself into the community on Christian Island, where he owns a house. The island, located in Georgian Bay, is mostly inhabited by First Nations people.
Bonnie Sylvester lives on the island, and has known Rubenstein for about five years. She said he is very hospitable, allowing people to stay in his home whenever they need it, noting one time during a family tragedy when he opened his doors to her visiting family.
"He talks a lot," she said (a sentiment that Rosensweig echoed), "and he's friendly and we got to know him very well. He taught me a lot about his culture, and he would ask us a lot of questions about ours."
Rubenstein is also national director of the March of the Living, an educational trip for young adults and high school students to learn about the Holocaust.
He originally became involved with the organization when he noticed that applicants tended to echo his own questions about the Holocaust, such as how it could have happened.
Since then, he's realized that he was asking the wrong question: Why did the Holocaust happen? He came to the conclusion that it could never be answered satisfactorily, so he encourages participants to ask another question.
"How do we respond to the Holocaust?" he said. "By building a more loving, caring, compassionate world. By building a stronger Jewish community, a stronger Israel and reaching out to smaller communities – people who are now considered the 'others.'"
This is the underlying theme in Rubenstein's work, as well as his thought that no matter who or where you are, you can learn from the people around you.
"Wherever I am… there's an opportunity to learn from another human being, to sharing and working together," he said. "It makes a huge difference in our lives, and the lives of others."
He insisted he has received much more than he has given to the people he's helped.
"Everyone has challenges, we all have issues and we've helped each other out," he said, emphasizing that the people around him are always willing to help him when he needs it.
For that, his response to the synagogue's tribute to him is one of gratitude.
"I think it's me who should be thanking the community for 25 years," he said, "because over 25 years, I've experienced the most extraordinary love and kindness."

Now that we have a hearty crop of threads sprouting up, I hope we can start harvesting some good blog material. If there's a discussion that's really come to fruition and you'd like to write it up, as it were, into a nice packaged article for the front page blog, please do so and post it here. If you've written a single post that you think would look good on its own, submit that here as well. We've been expecting that our forum discussions will provide a wealth of material for mature written pieces. On the other hand, if you have something you'd like to write about specifically for the blog that hasn't come up elsewhere, do that too. Likewise if you have a bit of pop culture to point out or an interesting quotation like the poem that's up there now.
Meanwhile, if there's a thread, subject, or general idea you'd like to see blogged, but you lack the right words or the time to do it yourself, let's make a list on this thread so others might take up the suggestion and run with it. I'll start.
-Introduction to the Storms model
-Sex in film and literature: the good, the bad, and the ugly (maybe explore one example of each, and see what went right or wrong)
-Are arousal patterns objective laboratory measures of orientation?

Re: We bloggin' (and I hope you like bloggin' too...)
I could do a write up on the Storms model for sexual orientation, although there remains the question of whether to try to keep it *relatively* short (a page or two) and stick to describing the model, and the motivation for it, and the arguments that Storms gave, or if it would be okay to make it longer (several pages), add some of my own views and arguments (some of which are included in the Storms model post, others aren't), including discussion of how I think it could/should be expanded and used for future research. (This is something that I hope to continue working on and and some point hope to be able to write something up and post it on AVEN's wiki along with the open letter to human sexuality researchers, but that probably won't be for a while because I want to take "human sexuality" first, and can't do that till the summer session.)

pretzelboy, I think a shorter, thought-provoking version would be more blog-appropriate, but it'd be fabulous if you could write a longer, more detailed and researched piece to contribute to the Knowledge Base.
Re: We bloggin' (and I hope you like bloggin' too...)
If you want to write a longer article then please do. I'll set up another section in the Knowledge Base for Member's Articles. Then we can post an abstract as a blog entry and link to the full article at the end, if you like.
Re: We bloggin' (and I hope you like bloggin' too...)
We'd like to update the blog more regularly, so if anyone wants to submit a post please let us know.

Asshole of the month for May! Once again everyone, thank you for participating in the contest! May's winner is Colin Banks…
Hi Paul, here is my asshole story: I was on a date in downtown San Diego at this nice restaurant with a girl I was really excited to go out with. Turns out she was one of the most negative, gossipy, selfish and self-entitled bitches I've ever talked to. I didn't know what to do, we hadn't even got our meal yet. I asked the waiter for two double shots of Jack Daniels and a Jack and coke. Trisha, (the bitch) was like, "I don't want any of that!" It was all for me though. The waiter came back with the tray of booze I ordered and I slammed it all! All I kinda remember was the girl mumbling in disgust. I excused myself and went to the bathroom. I stood in front of the mirror trying to figure out how to ditch this girl. It came to me…
I turned on the sink and splashed a bunch of water into my crotch. I walked out to our table looked at Trisha and said, "FUCK! I pissed myself!" I threw a fifty down on the table and just walked out.
Hope you enjoy the story Paul.
Colin Banks
Congratulations Colin, you are an asshole!!!!!!!!!

NASCAR says Keselowski can keep phone in car
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — NASCAR said Tuesday Brad Keselowski can keep his cellphone in his race car during events, and all drivers are encouraged to use social media.
Keselowski drew worldwide attention for posting on Twitter during a red-flag period in Monday night's season-opening Daytona 500. He posted pictures, answered questions and kept fans informed of what was happening during the stoppage that lasted just over two hours.
The tweeting gained Keselowski roughly 140,000 followers during the race.
But there was concern having a phone violated NASCAR rules. Teams are prohibited from having recording devices in the car that are not for competition purposes, and two-way communication devices are supposed to be analog only.
NASCAR said Keselowski had not violated any rules and can keep his phone.
"NASCAR will not penalize Brad Keselowski for his use of Twitter during last night's Daytona 500," NASCAR said in a statement. "Nothing we've seen from Brad violates any current rules pertaining to the use of social media during races. As such, he won't be penalized. We encourage our drivers to use social media to express themselves as long as they do so without risking their safety or that of others."
Safety worker grateful for well wishes
The driver of the safety truck that exploded into flames during the Daytona 500 thanked NASCAR fans Tuesday night for their concern.
Duane Barnes was driving the jet dryer that was hit under caution when something broke on Juan Pablo Montoya's car and sent it careening into the truck. The collision caused a raging inferno that scorched the track and stopped Monday night's race for just over two hours.
"I appreciate everyone for taking the time to write, call and ask how I am," Barnes said in a statement. "I am OK, and I am amazed at how many people have wished me well. I am also glad Juan Pablo Montoya is OK, and thank him for his concern."
Barnes, a 24-year employee of Michigan International Speedway, was evaluated at a Daytona hospital Monday night and released. He was one of two employees Michigan sent to Daytona to help with the season-opening race.
Barnes often assists at tracks owned by International Speedway Corp. by driving jet dryers. Michigan sent three jet dryers to the race.
Meanwhile, Daytona president Joie Chitwood III said the 200 gallons of jet fuel that spilled across Daytona International Speedway and caught fire was a worst-case scenario.
"The worst possible thing that can happen to a racetrack is fuel," Chitwood said. "We hardly ever talk about burning fuel. If we would have talked about having 200 gallons of burning jet fuel on the racetrack during the event, I'm not sure what the likelihood would have been of completing the race."
Track workers put out the fire, then turned to laundry detergent to clean up the mess because, Chitwood said, the detergent is typically used to wash the track surface. The track was watered, soaped, watered again, then a street bond was added.
The entire process took just over two hours, and racing resumed right after.
"It was about a 10- or 11-step process," said Chitwood. "There is no true training manual to light a track on fire and respond to it. But what the team did . I think is phenomenal."
Drivers seemed concerned about racing through the area as they turned laps under caution, and a collective sigh was let out once Jeff Burton led a line of drivers through the high-side of the track that seemed to be the riskiest area.
"The drivers did not get an opportunity to see the track before we re-started, and I can only assume as I go through there and I hear stuff flying up into the crush panels that it's asphalt," Dale Earnhardt Jr. said. "When you're a driver and you're running on a racetrack and you hear things flying up, that's not typically normal. So I just assumed the track was pretty soft, but it held up well."

? Passionate protesters on both sides of the health care issue voice their opinions as the Supreme Court begins hearing testimony.
• Passionate protesters on both sides of the health care issue voice their opinions as the Supreme Court begins hearing testimony.
WASHINGTON — Demonstrators with dueling chants, singers, doctors in white coats, even a presidential candidate and a brass quartet joined hundreds of people sounding off Monday on the broad sidewalk in front of the Supreme Court as the justices considered President Barack Obama's health care law.
As the justices listened to legal arguments, demonstrators said it was important their messages be heard too.
By the time arguments began indoors, the sidewalk in front of the court was filled. More than 100 health care law supporters walked in a circle, chanting slogans like "1, 2, 3, 4, health care is what we're fighting for" and "Care for you. Care for me. Care for every family." One supporter walked with a cane and another drove a motorized scooter. They were joined by a four-piece band of students from Howard University playing New Orleans-style jazz riffs on trumpets and a trombone.
A much smaller group of detractors had their own signs including, "Mr. Obama tear down this bill." To supporters' chants of "We love Obamacare" the opponents who believe the law is unconstitutional answered with "We love the Constitution."
Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum held a brief press conference outside the court after the argument concluded. He vowed to fight for repeal of the health care law if elected and knocked rival Mitt Romney for putting in place a similar health care law as governor of Massachusetts.
At least two heated sidewalk discussions broke out between the law's opponents and supporters, one of them a parent whose son had a kidney transplant and another whose wife has a health care business. But the demonstrations remained peaceful.
Early in the day, about two dozen doctors stood in front of the court for a press conference with speakers describing how their patients would be helped if the high court upholds the law meant to bring insurance coverage to almost every American.
"This is not about politics. It's about people," said Dr. Alice Chen of Los Angeles, executive director of Doctors for America, a group supporting the law.
Robert Kennedy, a resident in internal medicine at New York's Jacobi Medical Center in The Bronx, described treating the uninsured, many of whom wait to come to the hospital until they are very sick. Kennedy, 29, said one man worried about the cost of care delayed going to the hospital for pneumonia until it became difficult for him to breathe.
Many opponents of the new law, meanwhile, wore American flag bandanas and called for the court to strike down the law. Keli Carender, 32, of Seattle, wore an American flag bandanna around her wrist and another stuck in her pants pocket. A tea party member, Carender said she has health insurance through her job at a nonprofit group but would drop it in protest if the law's mandate that almost all Americans have insurance or pay a fine goes into effect in 2014.
Another demonstrator against the law, Diana Reimer of Lansdale, Pa., also said her main issue is with the individual mandate.
"If the government can tell us we have to buy this, what else can they tell you to do?" said Reimer, 69, who was wearing silver tea bag earrings to show her affiliation with a tea party group.
Demonstrators weren't the only ones outside the court. Other people lined up for hours. some even over the weekend, camping overnight for a chance to see the arguments firsthand. In the morning, the sidewalk was littered with sleeping bags, lawn chairs and even a portable hammock.
Nurses Lauri Lineweaver and Laura Brennaman arrived at noon on Sunday and scored red tickets numbered 10 and 11 that admitted them to Monday's argument.
Brennaman, 53, said she spent 30 years working in emergency rooms and frequently saw people without insurance coming in as a last resort to get health care they couldn't afford. Lineweaver, 35, said it was "an honor to be in the court."
College students Zach Rounceville, 21, and Chad Reichard, 20, arrived just after 7 a.m. and were the last people who got in to see Monday's arguments, with tickets numbered 59 and 60.
Reichard, a student at American University from Waynesboro, Pa., said he has classes Tuesday and can't return. But, he said: "I'd love to be in line tomorrow."
Carender, the American-flag-wearing opponent of the law, said late in the afternoon that her group would be back.
"Same time, same place," she said. "We'll be here all week."

HOUSTON (Reuters) - Exxon Mobil Corp said on Friday it will extend benefits to spouses of its U.S. workers in same-sex marriages, a sweeping reversal by one of the world's top companies following a landmark Supreme Court ruling in June.
Though many U.S. corporations, especially progressive ones like Apple Inc, have long offered domestic partner benefits to gay couples, the step at Exxon - the biggest publicly traded oil company - was heralded as especially significant for a company that has resisted repeated calls for change.
"Today's announcement by ExxonMobil shows the tide is continuing to turn in corporate America," New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli said in a statement.
"This is a very positive step for the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) community and a vindication of years of efforts by shareholders and activists across the country."
New York's retirement fund owns 13.5 million Exxon shares valued at about $1.2 billion.
Exxon had long avoided extending the gay marriage benefits in the United States, saying its policies were governed by federal laws.
Before Friday's announcement, the company had recognized gay marriages in some 30 countries around the world where it operates and where same-sex unions are legal, but it had not recognized same-sex marriages from U.S. states that allow them.
Critics said the company, headquartered in conservative Texas, had been dragging its feet - especially because peers like Chevron Corp and Royal Dutch Shell are known for their liberal policies for gay and transgender workers.
"After years of stubbornly refusing, we commend Exxon for joining the majority of the Fortune 500 business leaders that already treat gay and lesbian married couples equally under employee benefit plans," Tico Almeida, founder and president of the LGBT organization Freedom to Work, said in a statement.
Exxon was prompted to revise its stance for its U.S. workers after the Supreme Court struck down a key portion of the Defense of Marriage Act, which had defined marriage as between a man and a woman. That led to same-sex couple eligibility for federal benefits.
The company itself described the move as reflecting a change in U.S. policy, not its own.
"We have made no change in the definition of eligibility for our U.S. benefit plans. Spousal eligibility in our U.S. benefit plans has been and continues to be governed by the federal definition of marriage and spouse," it said in a statement announcing it would recognize "all legal marriages".
The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) has in the past blasted Exxon for scrapping Mobil's anti-discrimination policy that protected gay workers after Mobil was acquired in 1999.
HRC praised Exxon's extension of benefits to spouses in same-sex unions as a step in the right direction but the civil rights organization said Exxon still does not provide specific anti-discrimination protections to gay, bisexual and transgender workers.
In May, DiNapoli's New York State Common Retirement fund submitted a proposal asking Exxon to amend its employment policy to explicitly prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. The proposal, which received the support of about 20 percent of shareholders, has been on Exxon's proxies for 16 years.
Exxon has previously said its current policies already prohibit any kind of discrimination.
In August, retailer Wal-Mart Stores Inc also moved to extend benefits to people within same-sex marriages.
Marriage equality activists scored another victory on Friday. A New Jersey judge ordered state officials to allow same-sex couples to marry starting October 21, saying the current civil union system unfairly deprives them of federal benefits available to married couples. It became the fourteenth U.S. state to do so.

Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI) is a tool independent standard to support both model exchange and co-simulation of dynamic models using a combination of xml-files and compiled C-code (see overview in PDF or PPT format).
The first version, FMI 1.0, was published in 2010, followed by FMI 2.0 in July 2014. The FMI development was initiated by Daimler AG with the goal to improve the exchange of simulation models between suppliers and OEMs (see History). As of today, development of the standard continues through the participation of 16 companies and research institutes under the roof of the Modelica Association as a Modelica Association Project. FMI is supported by over 100 tools and is used by automotive and non-automotive organizations throughout Europe, Asia and North America.
On the Downloads page, the official standard texts are provided, as well as supporting C-header and xml schema files, and an FMI compliance checker. In addition, sample models (exported from different tools in FMI format) are provided to assist tool vendors to ensure compatibility with other tools.

Craigslist robber pleads guilty to multiple robberies
A 22-year-old Buffalo man, who used the Internet to lure several victims, has pleaded guilty to robbery and weapon possession charges, Erie County District Attorney Frank A. Sedita III announced today.
Kendrick Pritchett, of Amherst Street, pleaded guilty before Erie County Judge Thomas P. Franczyk to multiple felony counts of robbery, as well as criminal possession of a weapon. Six robbery charges stemmed from a spring crime spree in which he used Craigslist ads to lure unsuspecting victims.
Between March 28 and April 9, Pritchett placed online ads for fictitious items such as iPhones and iPads, the district attorney said. Each of the victims who responded to the ads ere robbed in broad daylight in public areas in Buffalo and the towns of Tonawanda and Amherst.
Pritchett assaulted one victim who resisted, Sedita said.
The spree ended when a victim, whose iPad was stolen, immediately alerted Town of Tonawanda police.
Police officers, aided by "Tank," a German shepherd police dog, gave chase.
Pritchett lost his shirt and had been bitten several times by Tank before he escaped into a home, Sedita said.
An occupant in the home called police after hearing noises coming from the basement.
Police went to the home and took Pritchett into custody without incident.
Sedita said the two most serious charges – first-degree robbery and second-degree criminal possession of a weapon – were related to a June 18 armed robbery that occurred during a meeting with a marijuana dealer on Buffalo's West Side. Pritchett set up the meeting, ostensible to buy marijuana, but instead pointed a loaded gun at the dealer and robbed him of the pot and cash.
A short time later police spotted Pritchett and arrested him after a chase. The handgun used in that robbery was found under a nearby car and was linked to Pritchett through DNA evidence, Sedita said.
Pritchett was released from custody after his arrest, however, because the victim did not appear in Buffalo City Court to testify at a preliminary hearing.
Sedita praised Town of Tonawanda and Buffalo police.
"The defendant was arrested because of their dogged pursuit and successfully prosecuted because of the thoroughness and professionalism of their investigation," Sedita said in a statement.
Pritchett faces a maximum prison sentence of 115 years when sentenced Aug. 5 by Franczyk.

First I just want to acknowledge everyone's posts on here, I enjoy reading all and thank everyone for sharing because all this information is helpful to people like me reading who are confused on what thier baby is doing.
My just turned 4 month old baby is confusing me with her nursing. She has starting to cry whenever I try to feed her. I have nursed my first daughter (with our own problems) till she was 6 months (which I then thought she weaned herself, which was probably not the case, but we had our problems) and now I'm scared that the same problems are happening again with my second daughter.
I'm scared that she's not getting enough. She's a large baby, born 9.5 LBS and has gained weight well, now she is at 17.5 LBS and has what I think of good output in diapers, although she doesn't poop everyday and her poops remind me of pea soup (sometimes kinda brown, not really yellow) she cries and fusses when I try to nurse her, this has been going on for probably close to 2 weeks now. She used to nurse every 2 hours, sometimes a little more (even throughout the night), but the last week or so she doesn't seem to want to nurse, but I always offer every couple of hours because I don't want her to get over hungry and then it's always a battle, and I'm just use to nursing every couple of hours so I'm always looking at her for cues that she's hungry, but she's seem to have lost all of the noticable cues. I do She cries a lot at nursing and then is fussy during the day. What if's she's hungry? I do believe she's teething, and has been for over a month now. (her hands are always in her mouth and she cries like she in pain) can it be possible for a baby to not nurse because of teething pain?
I really do not want to offer her a bottle (I had tried that with baby #1 and it was a nightmare when she prefered bottle over breast, but with help from a LC, I got her back on breast only) also, I found that I do not pump a lot of milk, I am pumping now about once a day just to have some and make sure my supply stays up as my doctor has already suggested that I start to supplement as baby is hungry. And pumping with last baby, I pumped myself out (to the point where I could no longer pump any milk out, and I tried everything) SORRY FOR RAMBLING ON AND ON.
I have tried different positions for nursing, but she always seems to cry. I really don't want to starve my baby. Has this happened to anyone else?
Thanks in advance for any advice, sorry again for long post.

I have seen the other thread about the booster seat but I was wondering if anyone has a larger type that the dog can lie down in? We have a vacation home that is a 4 hour drive. Audrey doesn't mind the drive and usually sleeps a good part of it but on our last trip she wanted to look out the window more than before. I'd love to find a safe booster seat she could also sleep in. I have seen several on the internet but not sure what might be best and safest.

Noun: (BS moshup of hick and hillbilly) They generally consider 'townies' only slightly better than tourists, and don't count folks as townies til they've lived there at least five years. Gutted & skinned their 1st small mammal by the age of ten. When at public events, males tend to wear their local uniform – whatever combination of cowboy boots, hats, denim & bigotry is endemic to the region. This is the stereotype which is 'ironically' referenced when hipsters style themselves for Sunday BBQ at places like Acme, the Bottom of the Hill, Zeitgeist, and your backyard.
The hickabilly vibe was so thick out on the porch, I wasn't sure if I'd have to gnaw my own arm off to escape, or if I'd be tossed to the curb to the cries of "Utlander!"

text: LB Quinton Powell of Daytona Beach, FL thought he would be announcing on Signing Day for either Florida or Southern Cal. But Saturday he received a call from the Gators informing him they were pulling his offer. After meeting with Florida coach Will Muschamp earlier in the week, Powell thought he had until Monday to tell the Gators of his decision, so their early call caught him by surprise. With the Gators out, Powell said Saturday night he's reevaluating things with USC, Southern Cal, Oregon and Miami now on his list. He confirmed the Gamecocks place on the list. "Yea, they are," he said. "They showed me more interest than Florida had originally. So now I'm going to consider them and see where it takes me. I've been to South Carolina so I'll go off past experiences. I'm basically just going to do some more evaluation and see." Powell said Southern Cal has to be considered at the top right now because he had the Trojans in his final two before Saturday. He is to announce his decision on Signing Day on ESPNU at 12:15 PM.

"Meg Whitman, eBay's former chief executive, will likely be named to lead Hewlett-Packard after markets close on Thursday, according to a person familiar with board decisions. The decision to replace Leo Apotheker, the company's chief executive, after only 11 months on the job is all but made, lacking only a final vote, said the person, who is not authorized to speak for the board. While Mr. Apotheker is going, his strategy, including consideration of spinning off H.P.'s personal computer business from other parts of the company, will remain in place."

RE[2]: No longer relevant to consumers

That may well be true
But for how long?
This indecision by HP over their PC biz and with Business Purchasing dropping off at an alarming rate plus the domestic purse strings being tightened as well who will want to buy their kit?
Mind you, the last two points apply to other PC makers but at the moment, HP is a 'sell'.

Silence about Climate Change doesn't just afflicts US politicians.
This summer, Grist has been running a series of videos called Slow Ride Stories, produced by Erik Fyfe and Albert Thrower, who are traveling the Northeast by motorcycle, talking to people about extreme weather and climate change. What strikes you about these videos is not the different opinions about global warming, but the fact that, almost without exception, people squirm when Fyfe and Thrower raise the subject.
Connecticut farmer Art Talmadge put it this way:
"We know what we're dealing with — that the climate is changing — but we don't really talk about it as climate change … When I talk to other guys that are growing, it'll just be, "Man, it was hot," or "Man, it was cold," … but that's the end of the conversation and nobody ever talks about why …" [emphasis mine]
Elephants In The Room: Urban Poverty, Climate Change, And Other Pro...
If you think Climate Change Deniers are just the right wing fringe who refuse to face scientific facts, your concept of denial is too simplistic. In her sociological study of of climate change denial,Living in Denial: Climate Change, Emotions, and Everyday Life, Kari Marie Norgaard speaks of (chapter 2) "Experiencing" Global Warming: Troubling Events and Public Silence. She describes what we perceive as normal reality as a social process, wherein public failure to mention climate change is an unconscious common agreement to avert attention. In other words this is how denial manifests socially, even when individuals admit climate change to themselves. In chapter 4 "The Cultural Tool Kit, Part One: Cultural Norms of Attention, Emotion, and Conversation" she describes ways we escape uncomfortable emotions through norms of averting attention and public silence.
Even those of us who are concerned, even anxious about Climate Destabilization, are pressured by these norms. We may find it difficult to raise the topic or express strong feelings about it, in public spaces.

Describing to my cousins the violence that occurred in my family, my aunt Martha yelled at me. I told her everything I said was true. Aunt Martha said, "I know it is true but we don't talk about it!"
Fingernails on a blackboard!
That is what happens to people who describe climate change and its potential consequences; "We don't talk about it!"
Yes, I'm afraid that they think that by not talking about it then it will just go away.
The elephant is in the room and everyone is avoiding the topic.
The US House GOP eliminates even "concern" over climate warming this year.
Blinded By The Right: House GOP Deletes Climate Change 'Concern' Fr...
...the new version of the House anti-climate bill omits a "sense of Congress" statement that was in the April 2011 bill the House passed:
"There is established scientific concern over warming of the climate system based upon evidence from observations of increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice, and rising global average sea level."
Even that uber-mild statement is now apparently too much for the blinkered anti-science crowd in the U.S. House.
In fact, "concern" is about the weakest possible word you could use to describe how most climate scientists view our current predicament (see Lonnie Thompson on why climatologists are speaking out: "Virtually all of us are now convinced that global warming poses a clear and present danger to civilization").
At last, in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy a few TV news reporters and commentators are mentioning climate change! See the link for video excerpts.
Watch: Television News Starts Covering The Link Between Climate Cha...
... as broadcast journalists transition from tracking Superstorm Sandy to covering its aftermath, some television outlets are starting to explore the role of climate change in more detail. Starting yesterday afternoon, there was an increase in climate-related stories, with extensive segments appearing on Al Jazeera, Current TV, MSNBC, and NBC. (There were also a couple segments on Fox, both of which were used to raise doubts about climate science).
... New York Governor Andrew Cuomo lamented the "new normal" for extreme weather.
"There has been a series of extreme weather incidents. That is not a political statement, that is a factual statement. Anyone who says there is not a dramatic change in weather patterns is denying reality," said Cuomo.

Maryland Judge Declares Pontiac G8 GT's Factory Taillights Illegal; Tells Car Owner To Get A Different Car [Updated: Or Maybe Not...]
from the judge-this dept
Went to court for my clear tail lights on my car and was found guilty!Nice to know that the officer and the judge seem to know better than everyone else, including the Department of Transportation...
The judge actualy told me she didn't care what the manufacturer said, what the federal govt said, what the DOT # stamped onto my taillights said if the officer says my lights aren't legal then they're not legal. I took the G8 sales brochure in along with pics of my car and other G8 GT's and the VIN trace by 3 different dealers saying my lights were factory none of it mattered she found me guilty of failing to display or reflect red light on the rear of the car. Didn't matter the reflecters were in the bumper, didn't matter where the light is has that little red circle, the whole lens isn't red so they're not legal. Also where the back-up and turn signals are should be the reflectors according to the cop so the V6 cars lights aren't legal either.
Judge stupid went on to tell me that maybe I should consider trading in or selling the car since its not legal in MD and that I'm going to continue to get the $60 tickets till I get rid of the car.
