Six Down...
Of course, with a pattern like this, there's not really a whole lot new to say with each new motif added. I really like the negative spaces that are emerging between motifs, though. I think these secondary patterns are going to be even more interesting in this 3x3 doily than in the 2x2 version shown in the book.
Once I start the third row of motifs, it won't fit on the scanner bed anymore, so from now on it will be photos. Hopefully I'll get some good light when I need it.

You're making good progress.ReplyDelete
This is beautiful! Great work!ReplyDelete
This is looking great.ReplyDelete
This is the first motif that I tatted from Jan Stawasz's book. I did not get further than one single motif. I planned to add more but the thread that I used for that single motif is running out. I will have to start over with another thread.
It looks wonderful!!! :)ReplyDelete
Yes, you get squares, and diamonds, and triangles, and rounds and stars… It's looking wonderful! I just realised I'm tatting the same as you. Not decided on what my final shape will be though… perhaps a rectangle? But it will look great as a square, I always love squares.ReplyDeleteReplies
You're doing the version with the more interesting decorative picots, though. I would have done that one if I were making a table-top doily; but since this is going on a pillow that will have my back rubbing on it all the time, I figured the short simple picots of this version would work better.Delete
This is so pretty!ReplyDelete
Lovely! Looks like a fun project.ReplyDelete
Hey Squijum,ReplyDelete
I can just see your Human's face if you hid one or two of those pieces. What a lark!
Your Pal,
Looking good so far, I also like the way the pattern is shaping up.ReplyDelete

In the latest *article in its "Abused and Used" series, the New York Times documents a range of abuses in the state's nine institutions for people with developmental disabilities.
The article details a system where employees at the institutions, as well as state inspectors, are routinely hired despite having criminal backgrounds. In many cases, these employees are rehired, despite having abused patients in other institutions, or in the institutions from which they were previously dismissed.
"Those who run them have tolerated physical and psychological abuse, knowingly hired unqualified workers, ignored complaints by whistle-blowers and failed to credibly investigate cases of abuse and neglect," the article states.
As a result, the system has create a culture which discourages accountability, according to the article.
"When I first started working there, I was told, 'Keep your eyes open and your mouth shut and you'll do just fine here,' " said Mary Maioriello, a former employee at the Oswald D. Heck Developmental Center near Albany, in the article. "It was kind of like a code that you just didn't turn anything in. A word that they used a lot was a 'snitch.' That's what it felt like to me, like I was in some kind of gang or cult."
The state's nine institutions house about 1,300 people with disabilities. It costs, on average, two and a half times more to house people in these institutional settings than to house them in the state's group homes, which house more than 135,000 individuals.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who has called for further deinstitutionalization efforts, recently fired the head of the state Office for People with Developmental Disabilities. However, the center, a large recipient of federal funds is currently the subject of a federal audit.
In March, the New York Times published an extensive report detailing abuses in New York's state-run group homes.
The Commission on Quality of Care and Advocacy for Persons With Disabilities is funded, in part, by the federally funded protection and advocacy system and is a member of the National Disability Rights Network.

|Base Stats
|Obtained From
|Gold Booster Pack and Most Wanted Pack
|Lightning Fury: Upon Super Move activation, Shazam deals 300% more damage with basic attacks, takes 50% less damage, and can use special moves without power cost for 12 seconds.
Shazam is one of the most classic and rare powerhouses in the game. In addition to his long stretch of health, Shazam packs a powerful punch, and can easily decimate entire teams. He also used to have the highest health stats for the longest time, before being surpassed by Red Lantern Hal Jordan (1400) in the 2.6 update.
Shazam is unusual in that he can only be obtained in the Gold Booster Pack (3.25% chance) or the Most Wanted Pack (8% chance per slot), and cannot be unlocked.
He is most notorious for his passive, which allows him to use Bolt of Zeus and/or Roaring Strike for 12 seconds (up to 4 times) without using his power, (although his super move only does 20% of the normal damage), which can deal over 300,000 free damage if you use it right even prior to modifiers such as gear and teammates.
For 12 seconds after using his super, Shazam will retain two bars of power even after using a special, and he is not affected by most power drain effects. If Raven/Rebirth tags in with less than two bars, she can only steal one bar of his power instead of all (likely due to his 50% damage reduction).
It is possible to gain further power in this state (at a greatly reduced rate), possibly even using another super (which refreshes the passive duration), but this has little point as his super only does 20% of the normal damage. All power will be removed after the buff wears off - including any power he gains during the passive.
His basic damage potential with his passive is often understated, in a small part because of the inaccuracy of the description - it actually increases his basic damage by 400% (i.e. his basic attacks will deal 5 times as much damage as normal barring other effects). While this stacks additively with other boosts and diminishes comparatively when stacking basic damage gear, this can still more than double his basic damage at near max gear scores, allowing his heavy combos to have a damage output rivaling his special 2.
Additionally, since his special 2 becomes unblockable if used right after his heavy combo, it could be used to great effect during his passive.
Shazam used to have the highest health in the game, until Doomsday/Containment surpassed him with 1500 effective health (600 base). He was then the character with the highest maximum health in the game in a single bar (since healing Containment Doomsday scales with his base maximum health, 600), until he was surpassed by Scorpion/Mortal Kombat X. He was still the character with the highest base health (as MKX Scorpion's health is tied to his passive and requires promotions) until surpassed by Red Lantern Hal Jordan. However, since Red Lantern Hal's passive causes him to take percentage max health damage to use specials or supers and he cannot be healed, it can be argued Shazam was not truly surpassed until the release of Darkseid/Apokolips (1400). For a very long time, he also has the highest total base stats, until surpassed by Batman/Arkham Knight and The Flash/Metahuman.
His popularity gradually declined as more and more new and powerful characters are released with less avoidable damage. The changes to the Blue Lantern Ring also affected him, as it could now only heal himself rather than the whole team by spamming Roaring Strike. Despite this, he still makes up for being a solid tank by spamming his specials while equipped with healing on special gear, healing almost from all the damage that is dealt unto him.
Getting to three bars is often a pain, as his light basic combos are rather awkward, and while his heavy combo is fast and easier to use, it also only deals 2 hits so he gains power much slower. Killing Joke Joker, Batgirl/Prime and Ra's Al Ghul's Scimitar can help with this issue. As for power generation gear, The Ibistick gives some of the highest power generation of any gear (recently surpassed by the League of Assassins Adept Knives and Heart of Darkness), as well as giving him a large damage boost to both specials. If you don't have it (or if you want to stack more power generation) try Raven or Shazam's own specific gear, the former offers crit on s2 while the latter has stun on s2, both of which can be useful (the latter also has Area Effect on s1, although that is not quite as useful).
As his super allows him to do his s2 4 times in a row, Superman, Cyborg or Martian Manhunter's specific gear (increased max health and heal on s2) is very useful, allowing you to almost completely recover health with one super.
In order to counter Shazam, power drain is recommended to handle him, draining him before he can reach 3 bars. However, when you are on offense, it is very unlikely for Shazam to build up to three bars of power (watch out for Killing Joke Joker however, who is a classic combination with Shazam), and dealing with him is usually fairly straightforward, with the only problem being his very high base health, so he would heal quite a lot repeatedly with heal on s1 gear.
If he does use his super move, block gear would be very useful in mitigating the incoming damage, as he has no trick to get around block, and block gear can reduce his special damage to just 10% of the normal value. Be very careful when dealing with him during his passive; his personal gear grants him stun chance on special 2, so it might leave you open to yet another special.
Shazam, along with Darkseid/Prime and Superman/Godfall, were often used together as an online defence team. While their passives are not very useful for online defence and they have almost no synergy with each other, their very high base stats will attract many attacking teams, as the matching system will try to match players against stronger defence teams, allowing you to gain more battle rating. This has since become mostly obsolete due to the 2.6 update that introduced 3 new characters whose base stats surpass even Shazam and 2 more that tie with him.
Please note that battles are highly situational: this section only mentions cards that have mechanics that, for any reason, are particularly effective with/against, or particularly ineffective against Shazam. Having a card that "counters" Shazam does not mean it is always a good choice.
Good WithEdit
- The Joker/The Killing Joke: His passive grants his teammates full power when he is knocked out.
- The LexCorp Set : Giving Shazam at least two pieces makes him immune to power drain and actually gives him power. This makes it easier for Shazam to gain power and means his opponents must weather his specials.
- Ares/Prime: Ares' SP2 can disable opposing team-wide blocking (provided it doesn't KO the current opponent). If Shazam has full power, he can tag in, fire off his supermove, activate his passive, and then proceed to land unblocked SP2's for the majority of the block disable.
Good AgainstEdit
- Slow characters, particularly Killer Croc/Arkham and Solomon Grundy: Since their basic attack speed is slow - even more so with Killer Croc's case - they can be easily caught off-guard when Shazam spams his SP2 when his passive is activated.
- Bane/Luchador & Batgirl/Cassandra Cain: Shazam's SP2 comprises of multiple hits. If first few hits KO an opponent, if either Bane or Batgirl tag in, their passives will not activate, giving Shazam an opportunity to exploit their low health stats, especially when he has his passive activated.
Countered ByEdit
- Power Drain (Note: During Shazam's passive, he is immune to most forms of power drain; however, Ra's Al Ghul's Dagger, Sinestro/Antimatter, and Black Adam/Kahndaq will drain his power, causing him to fall below the otherwise unmovable two bars of power. However, be warned that trying to basic attack him during his passive will leave you wide open for his specials.)
- Nightwing, Lex Luthor, or Green Arrow (prime variant excluded), Black Adam/Prime, Black Adam/Regime: All have an effective power drain that can prevent Shazam from achieving his supermove.
- Black Adam/Kahndaq, Martian Manhunter/Prime, Overpowered 5-U-93-R, Ra's Al Ghul's Scimitar: If enough combo-enders land, the power drain granted by the characters and gear will be sufficient in denying Shazam bars of power on the battlefield.
- Deadshot/Arkham Origins: On a full Arkham team, if any of Deadshot's teammates face Shazam, Deadshot will fire an electric bullet that will drain one and a half bars of power, effectively preventing Shazam from reaching his supermove.
- Aquaman/Regime: Upon using his Super Move, he drains the entire enemy team of all power. It is currently unknown whether this works during Shazam's passive.
- Raven/Prime: Shazam entirely lacks a one-hit nuke required to deal with Raven's extraordinarily powerful health swap passive as his super only does 20% damage, and the rapid-fire indiscriminate damage of the subsequent Roaring Strikes is exactly what Raven preys upon.
- Green Lantern/John Stewart: Similar to Raven, except less devastating but extends the effect to his whole team; the four-second invulnerability for each character stops Shazam dead in his tracks and wastes at least a third of his passive.
- Hawkgirl/Regime: She disables specials upon tagging in, preventing Shazam from using his specials or super at all for 5 seconds.
- Zod/Man of Steel : His passive allows him to take a fairly large amount of damage off of Shazam's special 2, so you have to use more to knock him out, resulting in you having less time to use your special 2 on other opponents.
- Batman/Dawn of Justice, The Flash/Wally West Rebirth, Superman/Injustice 2: Their passives allow them to "dodge" Shazam's special attacks, thus wasting away his precious power.
- Raven/Rebirth: Her passive takes his power, keeping him from activating his super. " If his passive is activated and Raven tags in, Raven will take away one bar of his power, only allowing Shazam to launch a barrage of SP1s and making use of his enhanced basic attacks and durability.
Here are Shazam's abilities.
|Bolt of Zeus
|First Special
|Shazam summons and hurls the Bolt of Zeus at his opponent.
|Rapid Swipe
|Roaring Strike
|Second Special
|A series of quick strikes is accented by a shocking end.
|Quick tap, rapid tap
|The Power of SHAZAM
|Super Move
|Shazam charges a powerful lightning punch, sending his opponent into the clouds where he inflicts multiple, powerful blows before flinging them back to the ground. UNBLOCKABLE.
Support Cards and GearEdit
Here are Shazam's support cards and gear.
|Jebediah of Canaan
|Rock of Eternity
|White Cloak (Lightning Cloak)
8% - 18% POWER GENERATION increase
[Shazam] 100% AREA EFFECT: opponent's team takes 10% - 20% damage from on Special 1
[EVOLVED] 15% - 25% STUN chance on Special 2
|25,000 - 1,000,000 (upgrading)
These stats are the final damage and health levels at level 50, per Elite rank, with ALL support cards, and without any augmentations. With the 2.13 update, Elite 8, 9, and 10 have been added. The Elite 10 damage and health levels are for level 60 characters.
|Elite I
|Elite II
|Elite III
|Elite IV
|Elite V
|Elite VI
|Elite VII
|Elite VIII
|Elite IX
|Elite X
- On average, it would take about 339 Gold Booster Packs to obtain a Elite X Shazam.
- The animation of the last hit of Roaring Strike (a bolt of lightning from above) is very similar to Solomon Grundy/Regime and Solomon Grundy/Prime's passive revival animation.
- After using his super, it is actually possible to use another super before his passive wears off. This has no practical uses however, as the bonuses do not stack, his super does only 20% damage and power generation is greatly reduced after using his super (and using 2 supers in rapid succession will stop it entirely).
- There was previously a bug that causes the flowing lightning effect to spread from the lighting bolt on his chest to his entire model, and it was fixed by the 2.6 update; despite this, it may still occur if you're playing on older devices.
- When using his heavy combo, the last hit will be different depending on if the opponent will be KO'ed or not. If the opponent will be KO'ed on the last hit, he kicks up and outward, but, if the opponent will not be KO'ed, instead the last hit would only stomp them down to the ground.

Oh my, this is the real deal.
Posted by Dennis on Aug 11th 2018
This is a great wallet, plain and simple:
1. It is very, very well made.
2. It is very, very well made. I know I just said that but it bears repeating for this product.
3. The money pocket it a bit deeper than an average department store wallet so it not only feels more secure, it is more secure.
4. Customer service is great.
Having a great product and great customer service is a winning combination!
Highly recommended.

This is how a mans wallet should look like.
Softest wallet ever
Posted by Tony on Nov 19th 2017
Best wallet ever. I really love this wallet.
Soft and supple but thick
Posted by Woody on May 27th 2017
The leather and stitching is top shelf. The luxurious feel of the leather makes me wish I could have a jacket of the same saddle color. The card slot dividers are the same thickness leather and I wish they were 1/2 as much since they make the overall thickness quite fat.
Love it
Posted by Unknown on Feb 18th 2017
Valentines Day gift, he loved it! Very nice!
High quality
Posted by Unknown on Feb 16th 2017
The soft leather hand cut wallet is exactly what you'd expect for a high quality wallet. It feels a bit bigger than my old wallet but that's due to it's exceptional quality leather. I expect this to last a very long time. This is my second product ordered (chaps which are amazing!) and again well pleased. It's so hard to find quality leather goods these days at a fair price.
Excellent wallet
Posted by David M. Pallotta D.M.D. on Feb 9th 2017
As a user of your motorcycle gloves I was expecting to see high quality workmanship. I did. The cut and stitching of the leather is beautifully done. Fine craftmanship. The wallet feels soft and broken in right out of the package. More than enough slots for cards and the bill slot is oversized compared to other wallets I have used. If this wallet ever wears out I will buy another. But I am thinking that some day my grandson will be using it.
the best
Posted by steve on Jan 14th 2017
I have to say, this is the best wallet I have ever owned. and I am 70 years young.
Very nice wallet
Posted by Mike on Oct 4th 2016
The material is really soft and the quality is superior. It can be thick if you load more than one card per slot which you could do depending on the card thickness but I won't. The money slot is easy to use and folds nicely back into place. I can see the wallet conforming to my pocket and backside after time. I really like it and would highly recommend one, or two.
Solid Wallet
Posted by Heath M on Sep 14th 2016
The wallet has nice stitching. 8 cards fits comfortably to me. Money smoothly slides in and out. Only concern from me is that the wallet is rather wide/thick. With nothing in the wallet the thickest part in the center with about 6 layers of leather is about 3/4 of an inch thick. With my cards and no money it expands to about an inch. My previous wallet was thin and wore through in a few years. I hope to see this one last a lifetime. I am sure it will.

A voluntary interview at Police Station is not to be taken lightly. Being asked for such interview means that you are either a suspect, or holding information which may help identify the suspect. It is important to seek legal advice before your interview.
A voluntary interview with Police is recorded and may be used against you in the future regardless of its voluntary or informal nature. This is because anything you say, or perhaps refrain from saying, may be used as evidence in court. Often, people are under a false impression that a voluntary interview is in some way more lenient than any other interview with the Police. Simply because you were not handcuffed when asked for the interview does not mean that what you say will not be held as evidence against you. It is crucial to seek legal advice from a solicitor as soon as possible. You should make sure that you speak to a solicitor regarding what you are going to say before you say it during the interview to make sure you are representing yourself in the best way possible.
At Bloomsbury Law, we appreciate that this can be a distressing time. You may be worried about the potential consequences which may affect you and your family after your interview, or perhaps at a later date. It is exceptionally important to make sure you seek the right legal advice in order to best prepare yourself. If you or someone you know is called in for a voluntary interview at a Police Station, please call one of our specialists who will be able to listen to your situation, answer any enquiries that you may have, and advise you accordingly once we are instructed.
What do I do next?
Contact us online or speak to one of our dedicated specialists on 0207 998 7777 for a free initial consultation.

We will contact you no later than the next working day to arrange a meeting at our offices in London W1 to advise on the agreement.

text: Canada slow to adopt online buying for auto insurance Allstate Canada launches new quick quote online tool in Ontario TORONTO — October 4, 2012 — As Allstate Insurance Company of Canada prepared to launch its online auto insurance quote generator in Ontario this week, experts at the insurer reviewed Canadians' habits when it came to buying auto insurance online. What they found was that while Canadians may be leaders in online shopping, and while more than half (51%) have bought goods or services online, Pollara's 2012 InsurPoll shows that only two per cent bought their current auto insurance policy online. In contrast, according to a comScore Auto Insurance Report, 17 per cent of American consumers have purchased car insurance online. So what makes buying insurance different? "Insurance is a big purchase, and Canadian insurance companies have yet to push their online selling features to customers to the degree companies have in the United States," says Amy Woods, Director, Online Experience at Allstate Canada. "Most Canadians know they may need to talk to an insurance agent or broker about their specific needs at some stage in the process, so they're reluctant to complete their purchase online. However, we do know Canadians like to research insurance online before making that call." Given this, Allstate developed its online quote tool with the consumer in mind. With just six key questions Canadians can get a price range for their auto insurance. If they like what they see they can answer a few more questions to get a more personalized quote, or at any time decide to move on to a chat with an agent in Allstate's contact centre to ask questions and make sure they have the right coverage based on their needs and driving habits. Allstate Canada first piloted this online quoting tool in Quebec in November 2011 and expanded it to Alberta in June 2012. The insurer has seen online quote completion rates (consumers who answer all the questions and get a final estimate) increase to almost 70 per cent in those two provinces. "On the old version of our auto quote tool, only one in five consumers who started a quote completed the entire questionnaire. We saw this as a huge opportunity to improve the experience, so we started to develop a way to give customers what they wanted, the quote, as quickly as possible," says Woods. "Auto insurance quote generators will typically ask about 40 questions before you can get any estimate, where we've narrowed it down to either six questions for a range of quotes or 16 to provide you with a personalized estimate." Research from Pollara's 2012 InsurPoll shows that 15 per cent of Canadians, excluding those living in provinces with government operated car insurance; have obtained an online auto insurance quote in the past year. Customers typically have two options when shopping for insurance: an aggregator site that provides a range of quotes from different companies (and it's then up to the consumer to reach out to the insurer) or an insurer's online quote tool like Allstate Canada's. To get an online auto insurance estimate, go to www.allstate.ca, and enter your postal code in the 'Start a Quote' section. What goes into determining car insurance rates? Each insurance provider calculates premiums differently, but typically policies account for these five factors: Age of driver; Where the driver lives; The model of vehicle, though not the colour; How far (in kilometres) the car is driven daily; Driving record and the number of additional drivers using the car. What the policy covers is another important cost factor. A policy with more types of coverage will have higher premiums than one with just the minimum required by the province. Most auto insurance companies, like Allstate Canada, offer reduced insurance rates when insuring multiple vehicles on the same policy or if there are other policies with the same insurance provider such as home and tenant insurance. Allstate Canada offers more tips on how to save on car insurance here.

Acting President Yemi Osinbajo on Wednesday said state governors must safeguard the lives and properties of all citizens residing within the borders of their respective states.
Osinbajo, who gave the directive at a consultative meeting with the governors at the Presidential Banquet, Abuja, said the directive had become imperative in view of the fact that "Nigeria is indissoluble''.
He warned that leaders must not allow "the careless use of words and careless expressions" that might degenerate into crisis."
"We are a people that like to talk and we express ourselves loudly but it is expected for us to recognise that it is those same words that can cause conflagration that can unfortunately lead to calamity. We must be careful of how we express ourselves.
What we have seen in recent times is that some of the languages used have tended to degenerate badly and I think that we must begin to speak up against some of these things and ensure that we protect our democracy and our nation from the hands of rhetoric that may just divide us," he said.
He commended the leaders from the North and South for their openness at the consultations, stating "that they were extremely responsible even in their criticisms of what they felt were issues that should have been better handled."
"I think that their criticisms were fair and balanced. I must commend them for their sense of responsibility and their leadership."
Osinbajo challenged the governors to find lasting solutions to the herdsmen and farmers crisis, especially the way that some of these have resulted in flashpoint across the country.
According to him, the problems are multidimensional but the states have a very important role to play especially because they are in control of land in their territories.
He also stressed the need for the governors to show greater unity of purpose and the determination to work together to resolve various challenges facing Nigeria as a geo-political entity.
The acting president said they must resist the temptation to play politics especially with matters of security, but to reach for simplistic narratives that might be originally expedient and satisfying.
"Sometimes intentions are perceived on the account of the fact that they have wrong perception about a particular thing. I think it is in our place to ensure that we dig down the fact and ensure that people are given the fact and ensure that we don't colour them with politics," he said.
Twenty-three governors, four deputy governors, Service Chiefs, Inspector-General of Police Ibrahim Idris, National Security Adviser, Babagana Monguno and some cabinet ministers attended the meeting.
Speaking to State House correspondents after the meeting, Governor Abiola Ajumobi of Oyo state said the meeting agreed to keep Nigeria united.
He said the governors also pledged to address problems causing unnecessary of agitations by Nigerians.
"It has been unanimously agreed that the unity of this country is sacrosanct, is non-negotiable and we have all agreed to work together to educate people.
Anytime you have agitation, usually there will be poverty, there will be unemployment, there will be hardship, so we should address fundamentally these areas of poverty, unemployment and hardship.
Nigerians are by nature a united people, nobody cares whether you are from the north, south or the east.
Unity must be there and we cannot play with the unity of this country. The consensus has been that there must be unity.
The message is for Nigerians to work more together and collaborate. We have more to gain when we are united. We cannot afford to break, and anybody who is thinking of that (he) is wasting his time and we will not allow it, not in this country. All of us are unanimous about that," he said.

Many F&I managers believe bundling is their best friend.
By bundling, they can offer customers several F&I products in a package costing less than buying each product individually. A bundle might consist of an extended-service contract, key fob protection and GAP, all for a single price.
Dealers say bundling often leads to more sales than an a la carte offering.
But a dealership lawyer warns it can also lead to more problems.
"There is nothing wrong with packages, but unless you can show that the customer knew he or she could buy the product a la carte, you're running the risk of a packing claim," says Mike Charapp of Charapp & Weiss in McLean, Va.
A packing claim alleges products are packed into the deal without the knowledge or consent of the customer, often resulting in a higher loan payment, Charapp says.
Charapp warns that customers could argue they didn't understand what they were paying for because it was all lumped together without adequate disclosure.
A lawsuit for failure to adequately disclose the cost of credit under the federal Truth in Lending Act carries a fine of $1,000 per claim, he says, adding that "it's the attorney fees that are always a problem" and there is a potential for a class-action lawsuit.
Another problem dealerships could face is customers suing because they didn't buy a product they later needed -- an extended-service contract to cover a transmission repair, for example. The customers could argue they had the misimpression that the service contract could be bought only with a maintenance contract and dent repair, neither of which the customers wanted, Charapp says.
Charapp has not seen many lawsuits based on packing claims, but he says "bundling" is "a new term for an old practice of doing packages."
The solution is to use a menu that offers products a la carte. That kind of menu, Charapp says, "can help with proof of the necessary disclosures."

The Washington Post

July 15, 2016
Over the years, Simmons's claims were convincing enough to get him a regular spot as an unpaid commentator on Fox News; a post on a 2013 civilian panel investigating the attacks in Benghazi, Libya; and two jobs with defense contractors working in Afghanistan.Wayne Simmons was a professional football player, a drug trafficker, a nightclub doorman, a Fox News guest analyst and an intelligence adviser in Afghanistan.
What Simmons, 62, was not, according to all available evidence, was a CIA agent. In federal court in Virginia on Friday, just before he was sentenced to 33 months in prison, he apologized for lying about his security clearance, his criminal history and his finances.
"There is not a day that goes by that I am not haunted by these mistakes," Simmons said. "I stand before you a shameful and broken man."

"Soil was made to produce crops to nourish and sustain humans and animals. Therefore its essential nature is that of a fertilizer. We could even say that it is no less than a great mass of fertilizer." ––Mokichi Okadalearn more
"The soil demonstrates this inherent capacity by fully responding to humans' respect and love towards it. In addition, it is crucial for farmers to keep the soil pure and free from contamination. Then, as a result, the soil will surely become more vitalized with joyful sentiments." ––Mokichi Okadalearn more
"There are many brand name seeds, but we don't need to use those seeds. The simple fact is that the highest quality seeds can be obtained from fields that are the least affected by fertilizers.

Lessig's Self-Recycling
Not that the David Copperfield of Copyright magically reduces 300 pages to a single sheet. But the familiar stuff is there, slightly remixed to pleasure the ears of his fans (or should I say groupies). I have to admit I tend to be one of them, mainly because his books increasingly read like John Grisham's and he can perform some tricks indeed. The question is if he delivers in the end, or leaves his public with an illusion when the smoke clears.
The argumentation in his Wired column is recycled, as is the subject: the COPA and the related filtering of Internet porn. The COPA is an anti-porn law that has never been out of court since it's ill deceived conception in 1998. This Son of CDA was scrutinized in the last U.S. Supreme Court case of this year, and again no final decision on its constitutionality was reached. Only that it could not be applied if "less restrictive alternatives" were available. These alternatives are software filters, and in comes Lessig with his Code argumentation: he rather sees a finely crafted COPA 2.0 than the absolute, speech squashing rise of filtering systems through the market system. Better an imperfect law in the books, than an overzealous filter in your computer. He wrote it in Code, he wrote it before Code, has repeated it ever since, and now it turns up in his column, again.
The guru and his mantra, conditioning through repetition: filters bad, law better - filters bad, law better - filters bad, law better. You would almost start to move to the mantra, and rightly so. Filtering systems are highly suspect from a free speech perspective. But they may be not that suspect from a free choice perspective. Or freedom from choice perspective. Lessig asks himself a question, in his column, after recycled wisdom:
"Demand for filters would fall, however, if the government enacted effective rules that enabled parents to block porn from kids. Why buy Net Nanny software for $40 when you can get the same protection through regulation for free?"
Why? Because people want to be freed from sexual explicit content, and are more than willing to pay for a filtering system that (over)blocks more aggressively than any government mandated system or rule. Even if its use would block "a gay rights site, [and] there's nothing the ACLU can do about it. Net Nanny's censorship is free of the First Amendment," as Lessig notes. Maybe people just have more trust in the market, and could care less if some activist or educational sex site is filtered. What they don't want is underblocking, the smut slipping through the mazes, so the more aggressive the better.
In that sense Lessig's proposal for effective, mandatory rules seems a bit odd. Maybe I just don't see the trick, or it is some real magic.
He proposes that "commercial Web sites carrying material deemed "harmful to minors" mark that content with a newly minted metadata tag - say,
Some thoughts spring to mind: PICS ripped? COPA commercial Web site condition mixed? Lessig hybrid burned? This proposal sounds like a poor Lessig Club remix with little melody. The arguments against metadata tagging are manifold. Even if it is restricted to commercial sites, a COPA condition doomed with vagueness. What Lessig says is that filtering technology has got to be framed by a law that is written so precise that speech would hardly be burdened.
It is very reminiscent of his argumentation in Code and related articles. And yes, the call for a Kid browser is there again also:
"If such a rule were effectively enforced, it would spur the market to supply browsers that parents could use to block
-tagged content, essentially creating "kids-mode" browsing."
Filtering systems based on RSACi labeling are not very subtle, but a single porn tag reveals a choice for an even harder pragmatism. But the real pragmatism is both with the parents that seek to guard their children and Lessig himself. As a true legal environmentalist he recycles his ideas from article to book to column, while the handfull of porn fearing parents will buy Net Nanny, on top of the law, on top of Kid browsers, on top of any theory.
I'm just waiting for the great magician to reveal his trick, to show there's depth in the smoke. But then a magician never does. The show goes on and I'll be watching when Lessig pulls another white rabbit out of his high hat.
Update: Adam Thierer has a post at The Technology Liberation Front in which he (somewhat critically) discusses Lessig's article and compares it to a new essay by Jeffrey Rosen, called The End of Obscenity.
Edward Felten subsequently reacts on Thierer's post at his Freedom To Tinker blog with two posts: 1 & 2.

The definition of "underrated" is one that is hard to grasp if you don't have a pre-determined scale that you're utilizing. In my opinion, the few albums I've listed here were unique for their time (and still are), and may have even been highly lauded when they first came out, but I feel like they did not get the recognition they deserve in many retrospective, best-of-the-decade lists.
300% Density, by Candiria
Of the NE Noisecore/Mathcore/Whatevercore bands that made waves in the late 1990s and early 2000s (such as Converge, Cave In, Botch, The Dillinger Escape Plan, etc.), Candiria was by far the least abrasive. Despite their constantly shifting tempos and time signatures, Candiria had a smooth, fluid sound. That's not to say that I'm comparing them to the languid sounds of Smooth Jazz. It's more like Candiria were the "Kind of Blue" cool jazz to the others' "Giant Steps" Bebop. This comparison is also quite apt, because Candiria injected a heavy dose of Jazz into their particular brand of Noisecore…not to mention Hip-Hop and Progressive Rock. Furthermore, their heavy use of Hip-Hop rhymes and beats was coming at a time when Rap Metal was almost universally panned by fans and critics alike in the metal underground, but they did it both intelligently and unashamedly.
Seminar II: The Holy Rites of Primitivism Regressionism/Seminar III: Zozobra, by Old Man Gloom
Featuring an all-star lineup of Aaron Turner (Isis), Caleb Scofield (Cave In), Nate Newton (Converge), Jay Randall (Agoraphobic Nosebleed), Luke Scarola, and previously unknown drummer, Santos Montano, one could tell from listening to Old Man Gloom's albums as well as reading the liner notes that the band is/was a sort of concept-oriented joke (as also evidenced in some strange interviews). What that concept might be is…uh, up for debate and may be part of the joke. Something revolving around returning to a primal state, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Planet of the Apes, and smoking gargantuan amounts of weed. The sequencing of "Seminar II" goes something like this: one short burst of sludgy metalcore followed by one song of ambient electronics. On the other hand, "Seminar III" is one 30-minute track. Both albums are two of my favorites from the 2000s and both helped to usher in a new interest in sludge metal (nu-sludge?) by the mid-2000s.
entire discography, by Khanate
Khanate is one of those bands that I simply don't listen to on a regular basis because they are so emotionally draining, which is similar to how I feel about Neurosis and Swans. The latter are two of my favorite bands, however I wouldn't consider Khanate to be one of my favorites. This is mainly because their later material got too sparse and improvisational for my tastes. For example, listen to over 30-minute track, "Every God Damn Thing", from their last album, "Clean Hands Go Foul. There is nary a discernible riff in the entire song. Some guitar noise here, a drum roll there, a blood-curdling scream of pain here…etc. I simply think that songs like that lose the power of their earlier material. Yet I still feel that their entire catalogue is underrated? Yes, and I'll tell you why. Khanate is the first Doom Metal band (at least, to my knowledge) that incorporated a Black Metal claustrophobic aesthetic into their particular style of Doom Metal. While most Doom Metal bands focus on creating a lumbering wall of sound to encompass the listener, Khanate was busy crawling under/within the negative space to explore existential agony. Maybe the loss of the discernible riff, and therefore the power, was the point…
self-titled, by Phantomsmasher
If "The Inalienable Dreamless" by Discordance Axis was Grindcore 2.0, then the self-titled Phantomsmasher was Grindcore 5.5. Phantomsmasher was the brainchild of guitarist/bassist/electronics guru/general weirdo, James Plotkin (also of Khanate). While most consider this album to be experimental/electronic Grindcore, it's also much more than that. While there is a colossal barrage of breakbeats and electronic glitches (in part, courtesy of drummer assassin-for-hire, Dave Witte), Plotkin's oddly pastoral guitar parts ring out, and DJ Speedranch's vocals (more than a little reminiscent of Yamataka Eye of The Boredoms) maniacally blabber from the undertow of it all. I don't think this electronic maelstrom will be fully understood by anyone (including myself), until the Terminator comes back from the future to destroy it.
From Wisdom to Hate, by Gorguts
Needless to say, Gorguts was going to have a hard time coming up with a follow-up to the stone cold (stoned cold?) classic, "Obscura". This was, if only retrospectively, apparent after the departure of second guitarist, Steeve Hurdle after the release of "Obscura". From what I remember reading and seeing, "From Wisdom to Hate" was considered a disappointment by fans and critics alike because it didn't continue the noisy, avant-garde nature of "Obscura", and seemed to rather take a step back. However, in my opinion, "From Wisdom to Hate" is one of, if not the best, Death Metal albums of the decade. The songs were thoughtfully composed, memorable (one can almost forget that Death Metal can be such), and reeked of absolute top-notch musicianship. True, there were some pretty obvious nods to Morbid Angel, Incantation, and the like, but I think that can be forgiven when taking "From Wisdom to Hate" as an effort unto itself and not in the context of the successor to "Obscura".
Grand Declaration of War, by Mayhem
I don't think anyone could have prepared for hearing this album. In fact, I don't think anyone could have even imagined hearing this album, except in passing jokes:
(while headbanging to "Wolf's Lair Abyss" upon it's release)
"Dude, this shit is so kvlt! I just knew Mayhem would continue carrying the flag for Trve Norwegian Black Metal!" - Metal Dude 1
"Dude, I know! But wouldn't it be funny if they had a trip-hop song on the next full length?" - Metal Dude 2
"Dude...(pauses music)...don't even say that." - Metal Dude 1
(Metal Dude 1 resumes playing music and both Metal Dudes resume headbanging)
Sure, prior to "Grand Declaration of War", we had equally weird (OK, much weirder) albums from Black Metal weirdos Ulver and Dodheimsgard, with "Themes from William Blake's Heaven and Hell" and "666 International", but Mayhem at that point were legends in the Black Metal scene. They were supposed to be the flag-bearers of Trve Norwegian Black Metal! When this album came out, it not so much stuck out like a sore thumb as it did a giant middle finger to the people that were expecting the next "De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas". "Grand Declaration of War" (GDoW) featured electronic experimentation (yes, a trip-hop song), Maniac's auctioneer-like barks having even more of a presence, crystal-clear production, electronic drums (gasp!), and a surprising amount of technical prowess. All elements that were (and in some circles, now) still looked down upon in Black Metal. Of course, GDoW got torn to shreds in a lot of reviews and forums by the kvlt naysayers. Nonetheless, as the old saying goes, Mayhem can be credited with tearing apart the rulebook. The fact that it was Mayhem, the flagship band of Norwegian Black Metal, who wrote GDoW, gave other bands the right to fuck with the playbook. Oh, and GDoW is an extremely well-written and performed album, too.
Dulling Occam's Razor, by Found Dead Hanging
I'll start this one off by saying that 99% of Metalcore and Deathcore is just not for me for a variety of reasons that I just won't get into. Found Dead Hanging (FDH), however, are part of the lucky 1%. Unfortunately, these dudes just released one EP and then called it quits, but in my opinion, their sound had much more in common with NOLA bands than their contemporaries in the then thriving Metalcore scene. This gritty, southern quality, gave them personality amongst the stale clones in their scene. However, they still retained a technical acrobatic nature to their song structures and riffs. I hate reverting to simple band comparisons, but if Eyehategod decided they wanted to start sounding more like The Dillinger Escape Plan, "Dulling Occam's Razor" might be the result. After FDH broke up, most of the remaining members ended up forming a band called Architect whose material wasn't nearly as technically interesting or full of personality. Finally, it's also worth mentioning that one of my favorite song titles of all time is from this album: "Solar-Powered Sun Destroyer".
s/t, by Humo Del Cairo
OK, admittedly, this release didn't see the light of day in the United States until Meteorcity released it in 2010, but was released all the way back in 2007 in Argentina by label Estamos Felices. Yes, I am guilty for throwing it on my top 10 for 2010. Guilty as charged.
As one collective sub-genre, I love stoner metal. However, I have my grievances when it comes to individual bands. There are very few stoner metal bands that I can hear, and almost instantaneously say, "OH! Orange Goblin!" or "OH! That's the new Acid Witch!" Meaning, I hear very few stoner metal bands with unique sounds, or very few stoner metal albums with distinguishable songs. Maybe it's the fact that there is TOO much Sabbath worshipping (who knew that could be a bad thing) or that I stopped smoking the ganja many moons ago, but sometimes I resignedly think, "For fuck's sake, I'm just going to throw on a Melvins album!", but Humo Del Cairo changed that. Dynamic and variable song structures, memorable (even catchy!) riffs, and a variety of sounds. Not to mention a punchy/groovy as fuck rhythm section, and a masterful guitarist/vocalist. There is a lot of substandard stoner metal out there, but Humo Del Cairo is far in front of the pack!

Oracle has launched a fresh framework that will help create Java based applications for many forms of different cellular devices and it is called Oracle Application Development Framework. Offshore Java developers will largely make use of by using web application development services this ADK to development and develop an assortment of applications to the mobile environment. The mobile client of Oracle Application Development Framework offers the fundamental tools and technologies needed to develop and deploy applications across mobile platforms. The framework utilizes a standard gui, which can be depending on Java Server Faces or JSF. It can provide a group of various ways to synchronize data from back-end servers, thereby giving the Java developers to synchronize data with databases and even other sources.
One major benefit these developers overcome java developers may be the privilege of speedy transferring of knowledge. This is possible as it follows certain formats of exchanging data. It uses the identical protocols that produce the transfer smooth and quick. Again you could do only given it is a source application. An additional thing that gives these developers an advantage over java developers is that they are certainly not bound to any language.
In addition, this programming language is simple to produce knowning that makes this source a preferred choice for most developers. These developers think it is being versatile. They can develop user-friendly interfaces using this application. This is another reason why why it may be so popular with developers in addition to users.
The awaited and delayed capabilities that developers want their Java solutions are addition of Lambda expressions, or 'closures, to Java utilized for multicore programming, language and VM support for modular programming plus a module system for your JDK. Still developers have bunch of useful new capabilities in Java 7 for their Java application development.
Java programming language and java virtual machine forms the part of the java enterprise edition. Some of the features like open source, flexibility, portability, security are the foundation of the java architecture. In order to benefit customers, the enterprise field java edition continues to be suitable for progression of application. Various services are implemented within the enterprise applications like manageability, scalability and accessibility. The developers can depend on these characteristics for developing the applications for enterprises.

Equate Personal LubricantReviewing: Equate Personal Lubricant Jelly | Rating:
Equate Personal Lubricant Jelly is the generic version of KY Jelly. I have tried both products and have noticed no difference between the two. Equate is cheaper and just as effective, so I buy it instead. Equate Personal Lubricant is water-based so it is safe to use with condoms. It is not greasy and has no scent. My husband and I have found this product to be effective in reducing friction during intercourse. There are only two drawbacks in my opinion of this lubricant. The first is the shockingly cold sensation the gel gives me when applied. The second is it is a little thick and messy compared to natural lubrication, which can be unpleasant. It does not include spermicide, so if you are trying to avoid pregnancy this product is not for you. Overall we have been pleased with this lubricant and will continue to use it in the future.

How To Get Started With iOS Development
How To Get Started With iOS Development (2017)
"How To Get Started With iOS Development ?" – This is a question that has been asked to me many a times; So I finally decided to write an article for all the beginners just getting hands on iOS development.
First Off, The best programming language to currently start developing iOS applications is Swift. Do not even consider Objective-C. The future is definitely swift and with upcoming updates Apple might altogether eliminate Objective-C as an option. Apple just launched Swift 3.0 and you can read all about it on Swift.org.
Now, As for the essentials, There aren't too many but you'll still need them to even get started.
1) Mac
Get this in your head – You'll need a Mac. No matter how many tricks and tutorials are out there that tell you to download Hackintosh or run MacOS on a Virtual machine – If you're serious about iOS development and want to publish apps as soon as possible, Get a Mac. It doesn't matter if you get a mac mini, macbook pro or an iMac , Just get a Mac.
2) Xcode
This is the IDE (Integrated Development Environment) you'll need to develop apps. This is the only official software recognised by Apple that you can use to develop apps. Fortunately, It also is the best software out there. It has ALL the features you will need to get going and is the easiest to get the hang of.
3) Apple Developer Account
You'll need an Apple Developer Account to test various features of your app like Push Notifications, SSL Security etc. You'll also need it to test your app on your iDevice before publishing it to the App Store. Worry Not, Making an Apple Developer Account is absolutely free of cost. Just head over to Apple Developer and Sign Up! This will open up all the resources you need to test your app.
However, If you want to publish your app to the App Store, You'll need to register for the Apple Developer Membership which will cost you $99 every year.
It may be hard to digest but these are the only three things you need to get started with iOS Development – but these are not enough to make the next killer app. The difference between an ordinary app and an extraordinary app is that little "extra".
1) CocoaPods
This is the additional part of the iOS development process – but it becomes a necessity as you progress. No iOS developer really writes all his code himself. Development is all about sharing your knowledge and helping other developers save time too. CocoaPods is basically a library installer with which you can use other people's beautifully written code and embed it into your project. It can be easily installed using the terminal on your Mac. You can read more about it on CocoaPods.org.
2) Git
Git is there for you when you need to backup your app and experiment with it's features or if you're working on a project with multiple features. It helps you keep a backup of all your app versions and to help you easily collaborate with everybody. The concept of push and pull comes in handy with which you can easily code one part of the app and the other person can code the other part and you can both be updated with the latest project file without any effort.
Git is operated using your mac's terminal. Here is a tutorial that will help you out Git Source Control In Xcode.
Courses & Resources
You may need some courses to get you started with the basics of swift. These may not be essential if you're willing to dig out and read Apple's Swift Documentation but they certainly ease out the learning curve. There are only two courses available on Udemy that I recommend to anybody and they are –
1) The Complete iOS 10 Developer Course
2) iOS 10 & Swift 3 : From Beginner to Paid Professional
There also other website that'll help you with tutorials –
2) AppCoda
If none of the tutorials or courses can help you, There is the king of all development sites at your disposal – The one and only bible for all devs where you can ask any query – Stack Overflow
I hope that this article helps you out to get started with iOS development and guides you in the right direction. If you have any other doubt or query, Please don't hesitate to post a comment below.

Enough of bullshitting from Western sheep that Russia's economy is smaller than California's or Spain's, that Russia is only a "regional power" which likes to believe that it's a superpower, that Russia doesn't produce anything that anyone wants, and so on. Nonsense. Bullshit. Coming from idiots in the West who just want to remain inside their self-created fantasy that Russia doesn't matter on the global stage. Now, Russia has all the land and natural resources it could ask for. Its women now need to get to work to produce more children - many more actually. More Russians will mean more people who can work, and these extra Russians can set up factories and other businesses in the eastern parts of Russia, which are currently very sparsely populated. More Russians will also mean more scientists, researchers, soldiers, pilots, cosmonauts, engineers, doctors, and so on. More products, more services, more inventions/innovations, more patents, more breakthroughs, more security and more prosperity. Only this way will Russia survive and thrive well into the future, and continue to challenge barbaric regimes such as America, thus ensuring that the globe doesn't get conquered by a single empire.

To make Russia's future secure, Russian women must start producing more babies

Family Support & Visitation Center
Family Support & Visitation Center (FSVC) Program offers four services: supervised visitation, parenting classes, transportation and case management. Visitation services and parenting classes are not interdependent.
Located in Orange County, the FSVC provides a safe, neutral, nurturing and child-friendly environment, where children who have been taken into state custody, due to allegations of abuse or neglect, can maintain or develop relationships with their family members and interact with each other through various activities. Activities include such things as playing board games, reading books, playing outside on the playground, working on schoolwork or sharing family mealtime.
Supervised visitation generally has been ordered by the court as a means of assessing family dynamics and appropriateness for reunification. Typically, visitation occurs until the family is reunited or an alternative permanent placement for the child is found.
Parenting classes target both families that visit at the Center as well as community families. The goal is to strengthen families, teach new parenting skills and prevent the occurrence or re-occurrence of child abuse.
For more information, please call (407)999-5577.

Amazon Unveils 'Page Flip' to Help Users Jump Between Pagesadmin | June 30, 2016 | 0 | Gadget

With the brand new Amazon web page flip characteristic, users can zoom out of the book and look for some thing precise from a chook's eye view. The business enterprise says customers will without difficulty be capable of recognize unique pages at a look, as charts, photographs, bookmarks, and the user's own highlights are simply seen inside the "pixel-accurate thumbnails."
The web page customers had been reading is automatically pinned at the edge of your display, in order that users can speedy jump again to continue reading.
the brand new Amazon page flip function will arrive in an over-the-air update for Kindle E-readers, hearth pills, and the Kindle app for Android and iOS.
"page turn makes it less complicated than ever to refer returned to pix in a political memoir, turn backward and forward among a map and your modern-day page in an epic fable series, or locate passages you have highlighted in an investing guide," Kindle's vice chairman Chuck Moore was quoted as pronouncing inside the release.
The corporation has taken notion from how human beings read print books and tried to enhance upon it, he stated.
earlier this month, Amazon released an upgraded model its access-level Kindle E-reader – priced at Rs. five,999. The ebook reader went up for pre-orders in India final week, and could start shipping from July 7.

At Rivers History is taught throughout Key Stages 3-5 and is a popular subject with a large intake of GCSE and A-Level students. Former students have gone on to study History degrees at universities including Edinburgh, Oxford and Imperial College London. As a large department of 6 specialist teachers we are very proud to have developed a rigorous and varied History curriculum that challenges, intrigues and encourages all students to engage with, and succeed in History across their time at Rivers.
Year 7
Students begin Key Stage 3 with a project on the local history of Bedfont and Feltham. For the rest
of the year they start by studying The Battle of Hastings and Norman Britain (1066) and move chronologically to look at the Civil War (1642.) Topics that are covered throughout this time period include The Crusades and The Tudors. Role play lessons and a range of trips make this a very enjoyable introduction to History!
Year 8
Students develop their historical skills further including reasoning, research and source analysis. They focus on Twentieth century History including investigating the British Empire, the World Wars and the rise of Dictators in Europe. These topics are some of the most fascinating periods in History and they provide an excellent background to the GCSE course. Year 8 students also have the opportunity to visits the Trenches from the First World War in Ypres, Belgium to commemorate the 100 year anniversary of the outbreak of war.
Years 9, 10 and 11
GCSE History is a popular and successful option subject at GCSE. Topics studied at GCSE include:
• The Cold War (1945 – 2001)
• Nazi Germany
• The Civil Rights Movement in America
• An independent study comparing life in Britain during the two World Wars.
Students will tackle a number of challenging concepts such as opposing systems of government, assessing significance and causation as well as developing other key skills such as empathy and essay writing. Success at GCSE requires that students are academic, motivated and creative. We are
very proud of students' exceptional achievements in the last exam season.
A Level
Many of those who take GCSE history decide to stay on in the department making it one of the most popular A-level subjects. The A-level course offers a chance to study new and exciting topics as well as developing student's history skills to a very high level. In Year 12 students investigate the Tudor monarchy in depth and Irish History. By Year 13 students study the French Revolution and will sit two exams to determine their grade.
Extra-Curricular opportunities
The History department offers a wide range of extracurricular opportunities and trips that all students are encouraged to take part in. This includes –
• Annual 3 day trips to Prague or Budapest for students in Year 10 – 13
• Annual residential trips to World War One battlefield for Year 8 and Year 9 students
• Taking part in international debating competitions with Model United Nations
• Planning and presenting whole school assemblies on historically significant events eg. 100 Year Anniversary of World War One
• Winning competitions such as the VE Day Bake Off.

I'd like you to be aware of a book to stay away from that full of work appropriated from others without permission or proper credit. It's the 13th Floor Elevators Complete Reference File. This book is a joke full of cribbed information from the hard work of others. Much of this book was cribbed from the four Jack Ortman Scrapbooks. The photos and swaths of the information were wholesale used without permission. Jack got a crappy, one line, mention in the back of the book.
This book claims to be a "source" on bootlegs and not one of the Roky CD Club titles are mentioned in here. Like I said, it's a joke. The guy that wrote it goes by the name of "Lama" and is a real piece of shit. He's well known in Texas Psych circles as a tool and backstabber.
Recently, on a Walt Andrus article giving Walt a great send off "RIP", the guy that wrote this book got on there and complained that the Houston Press used "his" photo without permission. I'll let his own words speak for him:
"The Walt Andrus photo above comes from my International Artists label tribute page, and nowhere else.
I have another photo that shows the interior of Andrus' studio at the time of "Easter Everywhere", as well as an interview with him from 1974 where he discusses "Easter", but since people on the internet like to steal things like this without giving credit, I guess these will remain unseen.
Both my Andrus photos came from Andrew Brown, a serious Texas music researcher.
Anyway, R.I.P Walt Andrus."
Anyway, RIP Walt Andrus? Can you believe the arrogance of this guy? The guy acts like he's the cat's meow about the 13th Floor Elevators and really? He's some Swede with a collection of stuff that he bought online. His book is just material that he obtained elsewhere and arranged together under his own name. The "Tommy Hall Interview" in his book? That comes from the Roky CD Club. He used it without permission or mention.
Stay away from this book. It's a cob job of other people's work. This guy goes by "Lama" and is well known on the Internet Psych Circles. He's always trying to pump his own ego up somehow. His latest ploy is to create his own Wikipedia article about himself. Gawd. Pathetic.
