Earth, Sea, Sky
Opening January 11 (Friday) 6 – 8 pm
Through February 23, 2013
The new photographs of Ted Kincaid are characterized by a quest for the sublime; this has characterized his work for the past few years. In his last exhibition at Devin Borden Gallery, Every Doubt That Holds You Here (2011) typical subjects included the moon, ships at sea, icebergs, mountains and forests. These were painstakingly wrought to challenge the viewer to detect the slightest clue that their conceptions were counterfeit, including what appeared to be the miscolorations of vintage glass negative photographs.
In Earth, Sea, Sky the same subjects are also presented with a conscious regard for the sublime; however, the new photographs, particularly the nocturnal landscapes, are less mellow. Kincaid has created a heightened sense of urgency by using more delicate detail in these works. He simultaneously tempers any sense of immediacy in them with a painterly veil. In Nocturnal Landscape 108, a bewildering array of stars and the silhouettes of trees evoke a dreamy, romantic mood. Others such as Possible Moon 103 veer more definitively to the charming with a mannered artificiality reminiscent of the films of Georges Méliès.
Ted Kincaid was born in Chattanooga, Tennessee and attended the University of Kentucky and Texas Tech University. He lives and works in Dallas. His work is in numerous private and public collections including the Dallas Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston and the San Antonio Museum of Art.

I was raised in a Southern Baptist family. Mother played piano and organ for church services in Calvary Baptist Church, Beaumont, Texas. One uncle was a Minister of Music and Education and two other uncles were Baptist Pastors.
Even though I lived in a Christian home and my life style was what you would say was Christian, my faith was not important to me until I was in the Navy, age 17-19, stationed in Pensacola, Florida. Dr. Wallace Rogers, Pastor of the First Baptist Church, influenced me greatly and under his mentoring I dedicated my life to Music Ministry. After discharge from Navy in 1948 I entered Baylor University, Waco, TX to earn a Bachelor of Music degree in Church Music. My faith was very important to me while a student at Baylor. I was very active in the Christian community of the campus: A member of the original BRH Choir, first student to lead the hymn singing in the Baylor Chapel services, active in the Baptist Student Union.
My first "jobs" were directing music in churches (FBC Hearne, TX) and leading music for Youth Revivals sponsored by the Texas Baptist Convention Youth Dept. in the summers of 1949 and 1950. US Navy called me back to service for Korean Conflict (Jan 1952) and stationed me in San Diego, CA. While there for 16 months I served as Min of Music at the Highland Ave Baptist Church, National City, CA. As a Minister of Music I expressed my faith and beliefs regularly hoping to influence other people to give their life to Jesus Christ..After being a Minister of Music in several large churches for 15 years, 1954-1968 (Trinity Baptist, San Antonio, North Ft. Worth Baptist while doing graduate studies at the Southwestern Baptist Seminary Ft. Worth, Baptist Tabernacle, Atlanta, GA, and First Baptist Church, Thomasville, GA) I was hired by Word Records, Waco to be Director of Music Promotion in 1968.
For the first 4 years at Word I helped establish Contemporary music...

The most talented free agent available at any position has found a surprising home.
The Giants announced they signed former Eagles guard Shawn Andrews on Friday morning, while waiving offensive lineman Cliff Louis in the process. We're going to assume Andrews wasn't picked up to solve the Giants' quarterback shortage.
Andrews has serious physical and mental health questions — he's played two games in the last two years because of back problems and has suffered from depression — but it's not like there are many 27-year-old two time Pro Bowlers just sitting out there on the market. He's a relatively low-risk and high reward pickup.
Andrews seems unlikely to start right away, but his presence will shake up what had been an extremely stable offensive line the last few years.
That was already set to change. New York used William Beatty at tackle with David Diehl moving inside to guard on Monday night; Andrews gives them more options.

Illinois' Vontae Davis tackles Wisconin's Andy Crooks as he makes a reception during the first half of a football game Saturday, Oct. 28, 2006, in Madison, Wis. The play set up a Wisconsin field goal in Wisconsin's 30-24 win.
Associated Press
RANTOUL - According to one NFL draft web site, Illinois junior cornerback Vontae Davis ranks as the No. 2 overall prospect in the 2009 draft.
Yes, overall.
That makes it sound like Vontae will join his older brother, San Francisco 49ers tight end Vernon Davis, in the NFL sooner as opposed to later.
"I've already talked to him about it," said coach Ron Zook. "Hey, if he's a three (years)-and-out guy, then God bless him."
As he prepares for Illinois' first 2008 practice at Camp Rantoul, Davis claims he couldn't be less concerned about his pro prospects.
"I'm mostly worried about camp and getting screamed at by coach Zook," he said with a laugh. "If I was looking into it, I'd talk to coach Zook because he knows more about it than me.
"I just enjoy playing for him. If anything, I'd play here for seven years if I could cuz I enjoy playing for the program and the university."
Davis' absurdly chiseled body continues to be a source of concern for strength and conditioning coach Lou Hernandez.
Specifically, Davis might not have enough body fat (3 percent) to get through camp.
"Over the break, I had to eat a couple brownies," Davis said. "It's supposed to be 95 degrees and I lose body fat so fast. My friend made 'em for me: Homemade brownies."
Computer 'Tez: Sophomore linebacker Martez Wilson bought the newest NCAA football video game this summer.
He didn't particularly like what he saw.
While star teammates like Vontae Davis and receiver Arrelious Benn received overall ratings of 93, Wilson found himself stuck with a 78.
"I was kind of ashamed of that," Wilson said.
So the prep All-American from Chicago did something about it.
He boosted his speed, tackling and agility ratings to bring his total rating in Davis' and Benn's neighborhood.
Now it's up to Wilson, who boasts 4.4 speed and 4.4 percent body fat on his 245-pound frame, to make the same sudden improvement on a real football field.
During spring ball, Zook busted him down to second team for a day because he had too many missed assignments during a scrimmage.
"After that, I got into the film room a lot more," Wilson said. "On my own."
That has him back to his ultra-confident self. Wilson, who nicknamed himself "Grande Dos" because he wears No. 2, long ago memorized his lofty goals for the fall.
"Eighty-plus tackles," he said. "Five to 8 sacks. Going back to a BCS bowl."
He said it: Sophomore receiver Arrelious Benn, who's 100 percent after offseason surgery on his right shoulder, didn't mince many words Sunday on the eve of Camp Rantoul.
"This is the year we go out and get our respect."
How about individually?
"Last year I was limited because of my shoulder. You haven't seen the real me yet. You've seen flashes, but I haven't reached my full potential yet."

There will probably be a huge line unless you get to the first or last session but I HIGHLY recommend attending the Rapunzel and Flynn Meet and Greet at Disney World's Magic Kingdom. The kids are given a box of crayons and a coloring sheet as the gather around a huge table. My girls were shocked when Rapunzel came up behind them, took their hands and started to dance.What fun!

"You talk a load of crap, carrot top" (Anonymous) "consistently good and sometimes bonkers!" (Tony Jones) "You obviously pi$$ people off a lot" "One Dangerous Lady" (Anonymous) "Clearly a very unpleasant person" (Grace Nicholas, Cornwall)
Tuesday, 9 July 2013
Abu Qatada
Should it have to be spelled out that human rights are for everyone, nasty people as well as nice? If they are not they are meaningless and in fact do not exist? Should it really? Should it have to be pointed out that if people say or write something which you personally find offensive you should put up with it on the grounds of freedom of speech? In connection with this, I am against the lifting of parliamentary immunity in respect of Marine Le Pen. This has been done because she allegedly said some horrid things that incite racial hatred. Well, of course she did. She's Front National. That's what they are about. That's what the people who voted for them agree with.
Parliamentary privilege and immunity matter a lot for democracy. They are the only guarantee of true freedom of action for elected representatives in the interests of those who elected them (which does not mean just those who voted for them). They are not to be trifled with in the interests of populism. They are not to be restricted to nice people.

Indeed the test of a country's commitment to human rights is how it behaves in cases of 'nasty' people: murderers, rapists terrorists, etc.

"Should it have to be pointed out that if people say or write something which you personally find offensive you should put up with it on the grounds of freedom of speech?"
"You talk a lot of crap, carrot top".
You may not have found that offensive, perhaps even funny, but should such things be forbidden by law?

"such things" - what things? No. My point was that language may offend, but that does not mean it should be prohibited.

Republicans in the U.S. House are moving to cut spending and show they are deficit hawks, but the process could damage future work on the 2012 Farm Bill, at least that's the sentiment expressed by Collin Peterson, D-Minn.
The House move to cut $35.8 billion from nutrition programs under Ag Committee jurisdiction was a contentious move and Peterson voted against it. However, in his response to the measure, he issued a statement: " Everything must be on the table if we are going to have a serious conversation about getting our budget under control. Refusing to consider large budget items like defense and choosing instead to slash nutrition programs that feed millions of hard-working families is not the way to balance our budget. Since we know this isn't going anywhere the only thing that will likely come out of this vote is an even more divided Congress."
He also notes that the farm bill is expiring in the fall and "while the Agriculture Committee has a strong history of bipartisanship I worry that if we continue down this partisan path it will be far more difficult to pass a farm bill this year."
The House move appears to be an effort to unwind a deficit deal made last fall where forced cuts would go into effect if a bipartisan group of lawmakers couldn't make a deal. The deal collapsed, forced spending cuts are pending and this is an early salvo to head off those cuts.
There's a sense that the Senate won't allow this level of cutting to domestic programs, but the move shows that Congress is struggling to make cuts to bring spending under control.

So last night i was thinking about what i'm always thinking about my dream wedding and my dream house. I'm only 22 but i can't wait to get married. I want a winter wedding it's tons of snow outside. It will be at a hotel the inside will be decorated lavender and black. As we share our first dance I will be able to look out the window and see the beautiful snow. My dress will be elegant it will be white with one strap, pearl beaded lace with a pattern so beautiful but the pearls will only be around the top trim. Leaving the top half with a soft pattern. The bottom will flare out then drop so that i have a train long as day. It will also have a light purple bow in back with long tails. My shoes will be white 4in pumps crafted just for me. And as we dance to our first song (I got a crush on you by Frank Sinatra) I will feel comfortable about the choices i've made and safe because of the man i'm with. In high school we had an art project to draw up blueprints to a how you would want to live in one day. I still have them it the perfect house. Seven bedroom house; the family room is where our children with play and watch movies, the dining room where we will share every meal together. we will have a huge front yard and a huge back yard. We will have a white picked fence and a dog to stand behind it. My life will be everything i ever imaged it to be.

Snapshots: Luke AFB staff place flags at National Memorial Cemetery
Jun. 3, 2016
The placing of flags on each of the over 50,000 final resting places of military veterans
at the National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona is an annual event that has grown in
participation every year. This year, staff at Webster University's Luke Air Force
Base location joined this effort that draws from military and private organizations
as well as families and individuals from across the entire state.
Led by campus director David Handrahan, the Webster team assembled early in Saturday morning along hundreds of volunteers. After getting instructions and gathering bundles of flags, they spread out across the high desert terrain where the cemetery has been located since 1969.
Everyone worked in concert to ensure that no veteran's burial marker was without left without a flag. Extra efforts were taken for people who had relatives or friends interred at the cemetery to make sure they could be the ones who placed the flag on the final resting spot of their loved ones.
When this huge annual effort was completed, the Webster team took a moment to reflect on the sacrifices made by those they had just honored as they looked out over the thousands of small U.S. flags fluttering in the breeze across the desert mesa.

Everyone knows that Chelsea Knot can't keep a secret
Until now. Because the last secret she shared turned her into a social outcast—and nearly got someone killed.
Now Chelsea has taken a vow of silence—to learn to keep her mouth shut, and to stop hurting anyone else. And if she thinks keeping secrets is hard, not speaking up when she's ignored, ridiculed and even attacked is worse.
But there's strength in silence, and in the new friends who are, shockingly, coming her way—people she never noticed before; a boy she might even fall for. If only her new friends can forgive what she's done. If only she can forgive herself.
To be honest, the very first thing I noticed about Speechless was the gorgeous cover. I realize you might find that a little odd. There are no faces, no swirls, no fancy typeface to draw in the reader. However it is exactly the lack of all those accoutrements that caught my eye. Simplistic. Beautiful. A blank slate. Then, the synopsis. Thank you whoever wrote this! Thank you so very much for not giving away the entire plot in a few paragraphs. I promise you, vague or not, this synopsis is perfection. Speechless holds much more than you are expecting.
Chelsea Knot is definitely not a perfect person. What she is, is realistic. A girl who is flawed, selfish, and raw. Harrington starts out the book by showing us a Chelsea that is pretty easy to dislike. One who spreads rumors, and hurts people. However as she learns the error of her ways, she grows by leaps and bounds. The Chelsea at the end of Speechless is an entirely different person, and just being there for her journey will make you fall in love. In fact, the entire cast of characters that support Chelsea in her time of need are easy to love. I could go on and on about Asha, Sam, Dex and Lou, but I won't. I'll let you meet them for yourself.
What I loved most about this book is that Chelsea's story is full of hope. It is full of growth, and understanding. Speechless touches on tough topics, and it does it well. Instead of relying on angst to draw the reader in, we get to dive deep in Chelsea's head and learn right along with her. There is a message here, that bridges that gap between all ages that might pick up this book. I think Harrington says it best with: "Hate is... it's too easy," he says. "Love. Love takes courage."
Despite it taking some time for me to feel the writing style of the book, I soon became immersed. In fact, a sigh escaped my lips when I reached the last page. A sigh of contentment at how perfectly this book is paced, and executed. Even the romance in this book is spot on, and builds slowly. Gorgeous. Speechless has just further cemented my opinion that Hannah Harrington is a master of her craft.
FTC Disclosure: I received a copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review. I was not monetarily compensated for my opinion.

Published: September 9, 2007
Ben Foster has a gift for being horrific and poignant at the same time. This first emerged in the HBO series ''Six Feet Under,'' when he played the wildly neurotic, bisexual artist boyfriend of Lauren Ambrose's Claire. In last year's ''Alpha Dog,'' Mr. Foster burned up the screen as a suburban parent's worst nightmare, a speed-crazed drug dealer who, his wounded glare implied, had been an outcast in his family long before he was old enough to make trouble. In ''3:10 to Yuma'' (Oct. 7), James Mangold's expanded remake of the 1957 Glenn Ford western, he plays another young villain so well that he becomes the movie's third star.
''Yuma'' tells the story of Dan Evans (Christian Bale), a penniless rancher who takes the dangerous job of delivering Ben Wade (Russell Crowe), the notorious leader of an outlaw gang, to the train that will transport him to prison. Mr. Foster plays Wade's second in command, Charlie Prince, who unlike the gang's other members is whippet thin and, without being silly about it, stylish. It's his anonymous gunfighter image on the advertising poster, in flat-brimmed hat, lean jeans and jacket.
Mr. Foster wields his gaze like a weapon. His light blue eyes glitter like crystal when he's being fierce, which is most of the time. Charlie is a stone-cold killer. But Mr. Mangold has added a dimension to the story and the character by giving him a relationship with his boss not unlike that between Evans and his teenage son, only in reverse. Evans's son despises him for his failure and his aversion to violence, which the boy misreads as weakness.
By contrast, Charlie idolizes Wade, even bawling out his name and fearsome reputation when they come to a new town. He's as obedient and loyal as a dog, and a childish pride flashes in those hard eyes whenever Wade entrusts him with some menial task. Inside this merciless man, Mr. Foster shows us a boy pitifully eager to please the most indifferent of fathers.

Letters to the Editor
George Zimmerman acquittal, guns, KCI debate
George Zimmerman was not the good guy with the gun (7-15, A1, "Racial schism is decried"). He was just another fool who was able to buy himself one.
Remember Barney Fife? He was fictional, but at least he was employed, had a uniform and carried an empty pistol. Before Barney could fire off a round, he had to dig into his pocket, find his bullet, load his gun, aim at his target, and then do his job, which was not to shoot someone but get the person under control.
Andy, Barney's fictional boss, didn't carry a gun. The few times he needed one, he made a serious show of getting down a rifle, loading it, and heading out after the bad guy. It wasn't a game, and Andy showed the responsibility of a good guy, meaning he knew what he was doing before he did it.
Fiction isn't the issue here: it's real life. Zimmerman was imitating vigilantes from the movies, and Andy represents who the real-life good guys should be.
When the initial shock of the Saturday verdict was sinking in, the next news, Sunday, was that all he has to do is ask, and this fool's gun will be returned to him. Now we know what's real.Ellen Murphy Mission Hills Gun responsibilities
The Rev. James Atwood's recent presentation of his book, "America and Its Guns: A Theological Expose," at the Kansas City Public Library's Plaza branch was educational, to say the least. It was well-presented, too, with statistics.
How true it is that people buy guns to protect themselves but end up dying by the same killing machine that was supposed to protect them.
How astounding it is that while 4,400 U.S. troops died in the Iraq war, five times more people died by gun violence in their beloved homeland of America, including those who committed suicide, during the same period.
"The violence and deaths are very clearly issues of morality, ethics and spirituality," Atwood said, and I can't agree more.
Coming home, however, I felt deceived by this author/speaker, knowing that he himself is a gun owner who goes deer hunting every winter.
Should a man who keeps marijuana in his home preach the harmful effects of grass? To me, a Christian minister shouldn't preach the gospel at pulpit while his hands exude the scent of blood — humans' or deers'.Therese Park Overland Park Profiling Martin
Justice and equality in this country have suffered another blow with the not guilty verdict of George Zimmerman in Seminole County, Fla. I am grappling with the idea that so many people feel that justice has been served because Trayvon Martin was denied the right to defend himself against a stranger who was following him in the dark.
Rachel Jeantel, who was on the phone with Trayvon while he was walking home and being followed, testified that she heard Trayvon say to someone who undoubtedly was Zimmerman "get off me, get off me." From this point Trayvon had the right to defend himself up to and including pounding Zimmerman.
The jury chose to ignore the beginning of the encounter and simply skipped to the end. In the mind of the jurors Trayvon had no right to defend himself against a creepy person that was following him in the dark and approached him with preconceived notions.
I am so sad that an innocent young life was taken because some creep thought Trayvon was up to no good. Between Zimmerman and Trayvon, if anyone was up to no good it was Zimmerman and his profiling.Lillie French Kansas City Abouhalkah column
In his column of July 11, Yael T. Abouhalkah quoted Mayor Sly James saying in a passionate blog post, "I'm not suggesting that we rid the country of firearms. I simply argue that cities like ours, St. Louis and others with gun-related homicide issues be allowed to take reasonable steps to eliminate illegal guns from our city streets and cars."
Many times, the defendant doesn't even serve the full sentence for the original crime. Most proposed gun-control laws only penalize law-abiding citizens for owning, buying or selling firearms. There are many street corners in our city where you can purchase a gun for cash, no questions asked.
Until these two problems are solved, good luck with solving the criminal use of guns.Rodney S. Applegate Kansas City KCI debate
Thanks for a great July 11 editorial, "Single KCI terminal is a good starting point."
I am a semiretired senior citizen doing lots of volunteer work, including eight years and more than 1,850 hours so far as a Kansas City International Airport ambassador.
We greet arriving passengers and give them friendly assistance and help with airport information and advice.
Our 40-year-old terminals are obsolete and no longer are user-friendly. We frequently receive legitimate complaints from passengers about security-screening issues, food availability, parking problems, lack of comfortable waiting areas and confusing signs.
The passenger drop-off and pickup areas in Terminal B are frequently heavily congested, especially when people are trying to pick up arriving passengers.
A new terminal would have separate levels for arriving and departing passengers, eliminating that major problem.
These old terminals are also badly in need of many very expensive repairs and updates, which certainly would not last another 40 years.
A new modern terminal would not cost taxpayer money, and our region would reap many benefits from a first-class KCI airport facility.
We need to do this now.Larry Lillge Kansas City
I guess I will chime in on the benefits of Kansas City International Airport and the big waste of spending money to build a single terminal to save money on security staff.
Earlier this year, I spent a whole day at KCI because of a February blizzard.
There were ample restaurants for food and drink in Terminal B until management started closing them.
Starbucks was the first to shut. As I looked around, almost everyone had a Starbucks drink in hand.
And for those travelers who weren't buried in their computers, there were actual human beings reaching out for friendly conversation, sharing snacks, playing games, etc.
Considering we were stuck in the airport and no flights were leaving, it wasn't an awful experience. I met some nice folks.
And when we left the airport, our cab was at the door, steps away, not miles.
Make adaptations to the present terminals. Don't ruin the easy travel experience we now enjoy.Laura Bailey Lee's Summit Lezak's weather
Recently, I've read a couple of criticisms about Gary Lezak's presentation of the KSHB, Channel 41's weather with his dogs present on the set.
I like this personal touch.
I think those people who oppose Lezak's style are acting like sour pusses.
We have seen Katie Horner leave KCTV-5 weather for seeming human, and I'd hate to see this happen again.Jennifer Chapin Independence Kansas finances
I wonder who will be buying Kansas municipal bonds now that we have knowledge of Gov. Sam Brownback's ruinous fiscal policies.
The question to be asked is, "Will the government have enough revenue in the future, without collecting income taxes, to pay off all its debts, including those of municipal bonds?"
Will Kansas bonds sink to a rating of junk bond status?Mona Glazer Overland Park IRS, meetings
Mike McGraw's July 11 story, "Meetings for IRS workers examined," could hardly be called a scandal, regardless of an area politician's grandstanding.
Let's stipulate that the Internal Revenue Service is an easy target. But let's also keep in mind that the hospitality industry is one of this or any area's leading economic engines and face-to-face meetings are nothing to scoff at, especially in this overly computerized age.
Readers should know, too, that hotels and other suppliers offer their lowest rates to government groups. There is no gouging going on at such a conference.
Education, motivation, networking, yes. Meetings mean business.Teresa Hellman Prairie Village

Garda whistleblower claims he was followed to Gsoc meeting
Donegal-based garda said he recognised unmarked garda car
Garda Keith Harrison
Sue Doherty email@example.com@dglemocrat
The Garda Ombudsman is investigating a Donegal based garda whistleblower's claim that an unmarked garda car followed him to a meeting with Gsoc.
Garda Keith Harrison told the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (Gsoc) that he was followed from Donegal to Galway last March when he was on his way a confidential meeting with them, RTÉ's This Week programme reported yesterday.
The meeting was to discuss Gsoc's investigation into his allegations that he has been harassed and subject to unwarranted disciplinary inquries since 2009, when he arrested a colleague for suspected drink driving.
Gda Harrison told Gsoc that he recognised the unmarked garda car, as it was one of many which he claims regularly drove past his home in Donegal as part of the alleged harassment.
According to RTÉ, "It is understood that a senior inspector at Gsoc informed Garda Harrison's lawyers in March that they were examining the allegation" that he was followed to the meeting.
The Gsoc is understood to be "taking the allegation seriously".
A Gsoc spokesperson said the office, "cannot, for confidentiality reasons, discuss the detail of an investigation that may be under way as a result of a disclosure made to GSOC under the Protected Disclosures Act".
The garda press office told DD/DPP that it was "precluded from commenting on protected disclosures".
The garda spokesperson added, "Without discussing any individual, An Garda Síochána seeks to ensure any employee of An Garda Síochána who raises issues will be fully supported.
In this regard, Protected Disclosure Managers have been recently appointed to liaise directly with employees making protected disclosures, and we are working with external experts in this area to help ensure that anyone speaking up is supported and protected in An Garda Síochána."

Recently I wrote a message on Facebook--Reader's Digest version--I wrote about showing love to those you may love and not waiting until it was too late for the person/or persons to feel it and be able to respond to it. Ironically no one responded to me on Facebook, but I received many e-mails instead. One follower of my blog (thank you Mr. Eric Dennis for your support and for giving me your permission to share your story) said that when he read my words he was in the midst of a twenty year argument with his oldest brother that he longed to settle. And reading my words and the subsequent events in his life really drove the point home.
Shortly after reading the posting and deciding to call his brother, he received a call from his sister-in-law requesting that he come visit his big brother before it was too late. His brother was dying from cancer that had spread from his liver to his brain in a matter of months. Now the sad part to all of that was that he didn't have a clue that his brother was even ill, let alone about to die. No one in his family--and they knew--bothered to inform him since everyone was aware of the bitterness shared between the two brothers. Eric rushed to be by his brother's side, but by time he arrived his big brother had expired.
So standing over the graveside after they lowered the casket into the ground he finally was able to talk to his brother and say the things that laid on his heart for all those years. The only problem with that as he said in his e-mail....it was a one-sided conversation.
I could go on and on about giving flowers to the living. But would it make a difference? Absolutely! Sometimes people need to hear, read or see certain things in an analogical kind of way for it to have any effort on them. It can make the pill of one's own actions a little easier to swallow.
Here's a fact--life can go by way too fast. Almost as if it's a large fully loaded semi plowing down a winding hill without brakes. During our lives we will (hopefully) encounter people that deserve and seek our love and some that will take advantage of it. For now we'll concentrate on those that we truly love. Be it family, friends, lovers or others. The greatest blessing-- I'm certain that we all can agree--that came from the heavens and is written about more than any other subject on the planet is love. Love is the beat of the heart. Without love the heart is nothing more than an organ.
To repeat myself, but it bears repeating. If you love someone let them know it through your actions and your words. As Gladys Knight said so eloquently at the end of her show my wife and I attended when a fan gave her flowers, "Thank you for the flowers and yes give them to me while I'm yet able to enjoy them."
Give your flowers of love to the living so they can enjoy it because standing over a graveside saying kind words might soothe the living--it does nothing for the deceased.

"Five people were injured after the landing and all of them were sent to hospital."
The spokesman was unable to confirm media reports that the engine had caught fire.Filed under: Arts & Entertainment

In 2014, Terre à Terre has decided to once again make part of its Sauvignon Blanc in stainless steel, under the label Down to Earth as an indication of its more modern style. The 2014 Terre à Terre Sauvignon Blanc is still ageing in demi-muids and our 2,000L foudre, and will be released towards the beginning of 2015.
The 2014 vintage was very auspicious for our Sauvignon Blanc vines. It was different from 2012 and 2013, with humid weather around flowering and fruit set, and heatwaves in January and February. Our low trellised – close-spaced vines flowered, set and went through véraison at exactly the right times, dodging the damaging effects of the challenging weather and making the most out of the perfect weather conditions seen after véraison. The fruit was hand harvested on the 13th and 14th of March 2014.
The fruit was transported back to the Tiers winery in the Piccadilly Valley (Adelaide Hills) where it was crushed, destemmed, and cooled to 2°C. The juice was settled in tank for two weeks before the fermentation was started at low temperatures. 7% of the juice was racked to a one-year old French oak 2,000L foudre. Fermentation took four weeks at a low 12°C (18°C in the foudre), and the wine was then left for a further four weeks on lees, which were stirred three times during this time. The wine was left to settle for a final additional month on full lees before being bottled on the 18th of June 2014. The wine did not go through malolactic fermentation to ensure that a crisp acidity balances the texture.
The result is a very good example of modern Sauvignon Blanc with low alcohol (12.2% v/v), intense fruit characters combined with a good texture and exemplary varietal characters. It demonstrates the exceptional quality of the terroir in our Wrattonbully vineyard site.

and you have the joker from batman as your avatar! on a side note: that movie was full of programming it was sick... did u like the scene where batman and his butler are debating whether it was morally okay to spy on ppl en masse with the sonar cellphones and they concluded it was ok since they were fighting evil?
that link is broken, or google undid it
It seems a "good" way to market music I prefer videos that have someone, preferably human, speaking in my naive language, english. It looks like most other videos out there. Cut'n'Paste popular word phrases ... One of the phrases is SHEEPLE. Most people I know who use that word are Sheeple. Like they are a cut above the rest of us. They tell me they are against the NWO and Bush and blah blah but then go to their house and what's in the middle of their living room - a movie temple with ESPN, CNN, and HDTV. Why is it that many "truth" seekers still watch TV?WHY??? Why pay give them your money for B******t?Why not disconnect from cable and stop watching the horrible films put out by the corporations.Why are you still watching TV?? WHY???AARRRRGGGHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hear ya. here,my husband is addicted and I cannot stand it! He knows if he wants to talk to me turn the damn thing off so we can think. Try talking to someone watching midless drivel is worse than talking to a drunk, imo.
I so want to know who makes that electronic song in the video
I now it is an old threat, really old haha, but anyone got a new link?
an essential video for anyone who wants to understand the battle that is on for control of your mind and your very being.THEY WANT YOUR SOUL(20MIN)http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6739227220487922409&ei=1tnaScH5FKGgqQP35t3vDA&q=They+want+your+soulThis reveals what 911 catalyzed, and more importantly what it's distracting even the truth seekers from acknowledging. This is a crash ... all » course in the bitter truth of the state of our society, government and the technological system that's beyond even Hitler's own wet dream.Visit www.ignoranceisntbliss.com for the Bibliography / Research Guide before you dismiss this videos contents.It features assaulting visuals, with facts and combined information that you wont find in any other documentary, laid over an music score that you wont soon forget. With the intense audio/visuals and loads of information you may need to watch this several times to absorb the many things you've probably never heard of. The information contained in this video applies to all Americans and humans alike, regards of beliefs or affiliations.
I do not believe that title of this piece is meant to be understood literally but just the same I want to clarify a point. The essential human being, the one which is actually created by God, is not the body but the soul. The soul, all human souls, are of the mental plane in existence. The mental plane is somewhat lower than that which we call the Divine (plane) but it is substantially higher than the physical/emotional/lower mental in which we openly live. This is where our souls come from and where they return after each lifetime on Earth. The human soul is not a part of the physical body nor is it dependent upon or subservient to either the body of the Earthly personality. There is absolutely nothing a personality can do that will result in the eternal condemnation of the soul. Nothing! Lastly the human soul is not "in the body" but is only attached to it while the body lives.Does someone "want our soul"? Don't worry. Such a thing is impossible.

Groups of observations are defined by specifying certain variables as classification variables in the CLASS statement. Unique values of the CLASS variables are used to partition the input data, and the resulting summarized data (one observation per group) is called the "-way."
PROC HPSUMMARY can also combine the partitioned groups into larger groups by removing one or more CLASS variables from consideration when grouping. There are different groupings that can be generated from CLASS variables. Each of these groupings is a "type," which appears in the output data set as a variable named _TYPE_. Type 0 includes no CLASS variables and summarizes the entire input data set, Type 1 includes only the last CLASS variable specified, and so on to Type , which is the -way.
By default, PROC HPSUMMARY generates only the -way. The option ALLTYPES (or ALLWAYS) in the PROC HPSUMMARY statement generates all types. You can also use either of the following statements to choose which types appear in the output data set:
The WAYS statement specifies how many CLASS variables appear in each output type. For example, WAYS 1 produces types for each CLASS variable individually, WAYS 2 generates all possible pairs, and so on.
The TYPES statement explicitly specifies the desired types by CLASS variable name, such as TYPES A A*B C (), where A*B might specify Type 6 and "()" specifies Type 0.
The TYPES statement controls which of the available classification variables PROC HPSUMMARY uses to subgroup the data. The unique combinations of these active classification variable values that occur together in any single observation of the input data set determine the data subgroups. Each subgroup that PROC HPSUMMARY generates for a given type is called a level of that type. For all types, the inactive classification variables can still affect the total observation count of the rejection of observations with missing values. When you use a WAYS statement, PROC HPSUMMARY generates types that correspond to every possible unique combination of classification variables chosen from the complete set of classification variables. For example
proc hpsummary; class a b c d e; ways 2 3; output out=results; run;
is equivalent to
proc hpsummary; class a b c d e; types a*b a*c a*d a*e b*c b*d b*e c*d c*e d*e a*b*c a*b*d a*b*e a*c*d a*c*e a*d*e b*c*d b*c*e c*d*e; output out=results; run;
If you omit the TYPES statement and the WAYS statement, then PROC HPSUMMARY uses all classification variables to subgroup the data (the NWAY type) for the output data set.

Basically, this dude did it all. He rode with the Hell's Angels when they were around 100 members and wrote a book about it. He followed politicians, went completely out of his head on dozens of drugs on the Las Vegas strip and wrote a best-selling book afterward, rode motorcycles as fast as he could, wrote for Rolling Stone, and misused firearms (this guy would shoot propane tanks for fun).
As far as I'm concerned you NEED to read his work (start off with "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" the movie or book), maybe watch a documentary on him (I recommend "Gonzo"), and if you're anything like me try and live your life a little bit more "Hunter."
It's no surprise that I'm rebuilding my motorcycle, an English major, and buying a voice recorder. I'm serious, go out there and start digesting that man's words.
One of his best quotes:
"Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting 'Holy shit…what a ride!'"

"...The book focuses on the Elysian Drop Troops and Raven Guard Space Marines as they try to re-take an Ork-infested world.
Volume 8 will be the first Imperial Armour book to focus on the Orks and features rules and background for all of the current Forge World Ork miniatures as well as some brand-new ones."
With all the new Ork models being release from Forge World lately, I had heard rumors of this book but this is the first official news I have seen of it. I have been eagerly awaiting it and will probably order it as soon as it becomes available. I hope it is good.

Show you care by asking R U OK?

For many people, life begins at 65: finally able to enjoy the free time that comes with retirement; maybe having moved into a retirement village, with fewer responsibilities around the house; there is more time to share with friends and family and most importantly more time to spend doing the important things such as travelling, volunteering, hobbies, or spoiling the grandkids.
Turning 65 can often mean finally having the freedom to follow your dreams.
However, as Gai McPherson, a retired Clinical Nurse Consultant specialising in Psychogeriatric Health, explains, this extra time can also be a difficult transition.
"Retirement for me was one of the hardest things I have ever done. I loved my job and because I was valued in my role, I wasn't sure that I would know who I was without it. In fact, I was so worried that I would lose my purpose in life that I didn't actually retire until I was 71.
"Which was silly really, because for me, those fears were unfounded. All of a sudden I had the time to volunteer and pursue my passions and really make a difference.
"But when you are already questioning your purpose, your body slows down a bit as we age, and we often have more health issues to consider.
"We start losing people close to us and we might not be lucky enough to be surrounded by family or close friends - these changes can increase the risk of anxiety and depression in older people especially."
Evidence indicates that between 10 and 15 per cent of older people will experience depression and/or anxiety.*
Unfortunately, many people feel there is a stigma attached to depression and anxiety, viewing them as weaknesses or character flaws rather than a genuine health condition.
This stems from their upbringing but in 2018 it is important to remember that it is ok to ask for help.
Anxiety and depression in older people may occur for different reasons, but both physical illness or personal loss are common triggers.
Other factors that can increase an older person's risk of developing anxiety or depression include chronic pain, side-effects from medications, loss of mobility, social isolation, admission to hospital as well as special anniversaries and any memories they evoke.
"Everyone is different," says Ms McPherson "and it's often a combination of factors that can contribute to a person developing anxiety or depression.
"While you can't always identify the cause, or change difficult circumstances, the most important thing is that you learn to recognise the signs and symptoms and get support. If you're experiencing symptoms of anxiety or depression, talking to your GP is a good first step.
"As well as providing a diagnosis and discussing treatment options, they can refer you to a counsellor or mental health specialist.
"Make sure you book a longer appointment so you have time to discuss the situation without feeling rushed."
As we get older, maintaining connections with friends, family and the community can prevent feelings of loneliness and help us to stay mentally and physically healthy.
Loneliness is not an inevitable part of getting older - there are lots of things you can do to expand and strengthen your social networks."

There are opportunities to meet new people and form meaningful friendships by joining groups like The Men's Shed, Legacy, Lions, U3A, Rotary or Probus.
Or you can connect one-to-one with people who share your interests and deeper personal values, and also make a meaningful contribution to the community, by volunteering at organisations like Bundaleer, Marine Rescue, the Koala Hospital or St Vincent De Paul where you can really make a difference and gain a new purpose in life.
"An active life and relationships with people we care about are important at any age, as they promote good mental health.
"Some people find it hard to share what they're going through with family and friends, for fear of being a burden, but the reality is that you don't have to 'put on a brave face'.Gai McPherson
"Help is literally a phone call away, but people can't help if they don't know what's going on."
Don't underestimate the power of a smile and a friendly conversation over the fence with your neighbour.
Chances are if you are interested in branching out to join a new social activity, that your friend or elderly neighbour may be interested too– so why not do it together?
You can organise regular catch ups with neighbours and acquaintances; join a book club or craft group; start your own social group for monthly lunches, card games, bingo or even go to the movies.
"If you're concerned about an older person experiencing anxiety or depression, or just not coping, then it is important to show you care by asking the simple question "R U OK?"
"If we all look out for each other, retirement will be much more fun," says McPherson.

The genesis of this entry was a simple question:
"Ten years from now, what will I most regret not having started today?"
In order to live well as an artist, the art itself is one part of a far larger context called "your life".
What about the distorted positive-thinking mythology of the superhuman "genius" overcoming all odds?
That actually makes life harder. Instead of focusing on the positive (and ignoring the other half of reality), the whole picture will show you how to anticipate problems while reaching for success.
Here is an outline for a creative life that goes farther than starvation-wage "survival jobs" and the "work hard, work harder, become a genius, get lucky and strike it rich" idea that so rarely [if ever] works out in the real world.
A person with an entreprenuerial mindset is always looking for new opportunities.
At the core of this mindset is a practical consideration that's so obvious, it's hidden from view — much like the sky being so vast above us that we rarely think about it.
1. The 25% Rule
Never allow any one source to provide more than twenty-five percent (25%) of your income.
Immediately you see the mistake that the typical person makes. The typical worker has one client — called "the boss" — and is perpetually scrambling in fear of being fired by The Boss.
By contrast, the entrepreneur thinks about streams of revenue. It's needlessly risky to allow any one client to control your ability to eat nutritious food and have a decent place to sleep. If you want to ensure that you can survive the next global "Great Recession" in good shape, make sure that you can lose at least two of your largest clients without causing any undue difficulty.
This means that you keep track of your cash flow — how much is coming in and how much flows out.
2. Live far, far below your means.
Who are you trying to impress?
Hopefully, the answer is "nobody. I live for my art."
Well, if that's not your answer, you may have considerations like young children or old parents or other dependents who need your financial help.
They all need to be factored into the basic amount required per month.
Remember above where the "25% Rule" was introduced? This is where it becomes real.
If you can't live on fifty percent of your current income, you're over-spending and under-saving.
Note that this is a ratio, not a law of nature. It's a place to start from — find four sources of revenue, none of which is individually responsible for more than 25% of your income.
From there, you can find more sources. This means that if you have ten clients who bring in steady monthly revenue, you can afford to lose five clients.
This all depends on first knowing how much money you've decided that you "need" in order to finance your lifestyle. Look at the basic needs of life and work — not the "need" for a new phone every six months or the desire for fine dining and an evening at the theatre at least three times per week.
What are your bare essentials? This is what you need to know. Food, housing, transportation, utilities, materials, communications. Start from there. When your total income is at least double what you need to survive, you can weather a tough economic time as long as you save and stick to your financial plans.
3. Basic Financial Intelligence
You do know the difference between "gross" and "net", right?
If not, you need to learn.
Financial intelligence is a survival skill. If you buy a car or mortgage without realizing that those are liabilities (not assets), you quite likely will regret it later. If you don't know to never invest your retirement savings in the stock market unless you're willing to lose the money, then you'll likely die broke.
The world runs on money. I know, all us artists were fed a fine line of bologna as kids, and as adults. A consumerist society demands that we spend more and buy more, and think very little about anything else. You have to fight the urge to impress your friends and feel like a "winner" because you bought the new shiny toys that will become disposable trash in a few months or years.
Much of this knowledge is not taught in school. Find it and learn it.
4. Sources of Income: Skills, Products, Services
"How do I find _four_ sources of income?", you ask. "It's hard enough to find one job. Now I need four?!"
First, remember this shift in thinking: revenue streams, not "jobs".
This is the M-word comes in: Marketing.
Very briefly, you can think of income revenue streams in terms of three categories.
Skills: do you have four skills that you can use to make at least twenty-five percent (25%) of your income? Are you a writer, musician, illustrator, and graphic designer? You can use each skill to generate revenue by creating products and services.
Products: you can create four products to sell. For example: this can mean different types of art, writing a self-published book about art, or using different media to reach different audiences (galleries, blogs, films, etc.).
Services: services here mean expertise that is intangible. Public speaking is a service. Monthly webinar classes are services. Mentoring is a service.
Figure out how you can help people do what they want to do, and you'll be on track to creating valuable services.
There can be overlap between products and services as well, for example if you give a talk, record it and then sell that as part of a web series on art.
The key underpinning all of this is to do your homework first.
4. Do Your Homework: Research Your Market
Many artists start with a passion and go from there.
The hard truth is that some forms of art are rarely (if ever) profitable. Writing novels, illustrating comic books, and creating fine-art paintings will generally not provide a liveable income in the early years — if ever.
Don't take anyone's word for it. Do your own homework. Research your target market.
You may find that some of your work occupies a profitable niche. If you started out writing erotic short stories, you might find that romance novels are massively profitable compared to mainstream fiction. From there, you can research the structure of the romance novel and take a pseudonym for experimentation in that form.
Or you could find that you art is better pursued in the nights and evenings, at which point your life might need a bit of redesign from "starving artist" to "person with a second job that is an avocation and pays in life satisfaction rather than money — for now."
Tip: Never think of your art as a "hobby". Hobbyists end up saying things like "life got in the way" and de-prioritizing what they love to do. After survival, make art your top priority if you truly are passionate for it.
One day, if you work on your craft for at least two hours daily, you will find yourself near the top of your field. Why? Because most people are too disorganized to do _anything_ on a regular basis. This is why the average person needs a Boss to tell them what to do.
If you'll have to spend at least nine hours of every day working for someone, you might as well work for yourself. Learn the skills and be willing to make mistakes. We're all going to die, sooner than you might think. Life is too short to wait for retirement before pursuing your passions. Start now with a mindset of practical, flexible resilience, and you'll never regret a single moment for the rest of your days.

Motorola Ambitiously Plans for 2 GHz Smartphones
After having quietly updated the CPU specs on its Milestone XT720 tablet for Europe, Motorola's CEO is ambitiously anticipating a 2 GHz smartphone by year's end. Current top of the line smartphones, including the HTC EVO 4G, the Droid Incredible, and the Samsung Galaxy S, all clock in at 1 GHz and Qualcomm has committed to a dual-core 1.5 GHz Snapdragon processor but the system on a chip maker hasn't commented on a 2 GHz solution. Another Motorola executive is saying that the company will be employing NVIDIA's Tegra solution to bring HD recording and output to the company's handset. Also to be found, and not to be bested by Apple, would be a gyroscope.
Motorola's potential move to an NVIDIA solution would be a change for the company, which has traditionally employed Texas Instruments CPUs in its high-end lineup.

On Experiencing Gore Vidal's Favorite Word
Matt Drudge highlights the usual rambling Gore Vidal interview, spotlighting Vidal's worn-out épater le bourgeois tactic of saying that there's a dictatorship looming just around the corner:
Melvyn Bragg has interviewed the American author Gore Vidal many times over the years - including for three separate South Bank Show films. For his guest-edit of this week's New Statesman, Bragg called Vidal at his home in Los Angeles, where Vidal claimed to be working on perfecting "the telephone essay".
The resulting interview is a wide-ranging conversation, replete with Vidal's usual wit, that covers his life and career. But perhaps -- as always -- his political views are the most striking. Here's what he had to say on the Republican Party:These are the small-town enemies of everybody. They just dislike everyone. They couldn't come out and say: "We don't want a black president" -- we've finally got past that roadblock. So what they did was set out to slaughter the opposition party, the Democrats.
Vidal's contention is that Obama's opponents, motivated by racism, have set out to discredit him:Repetition. They keep saying he's really a terrorist and they even deny he's black. He's obviously brown in some way -- a vicious way -- because we know what they are like; those are terrorists.
This febrile political atmosphere, combined with economic turmoil, is a recipe for disaster:I should not in the least be surprised if there were a kind of dictatorship at the end of the road, which seems to be coming more and more quickly as we lose more and more wars.
But Vidal said in June 0f 2008 that we were already in a dictatorship:
It will take the United States a century to recover from the damage wreaked by President George. W Bush, US writer Gore Vidal said in an interview published on Saturday.
"The president behaved like a virtual criminal but we didn't have the courage to sack him for fear of violating the American constitution," Vidal told the El Mundo newspaper.
The author, a trenchant critic of the US-led invasion of Iraq, said it would take the United States "100 years to repair the damage" caused by Bush.
"We live in a dictatorship. We have a fascist government ...which controls the media," he said.
Vidal also said presidential aspirant Barack Obama was "intelligent" adding that it would be a "novelty" to have an "intelligent" person in the White House.
Has the novelty worn off yet for Vidal?
Incidentally, according to Vidal, the Civil War was fought by the "Tragic vision of Lincoln as Orphic dictator," Reagan was a dictator, America in the 1980s was a "heterosexual dictatorship," Richard Nixon was also a dictator, and FDR was "the first American dictator." (Never mind Lincoln the Orphic dictator. And of course, there was his infamous run-in with William F. Buckley, whom Vidal dubbed a crypto-Nazi, in-between losing his libel suit to WFB.)
Don't bother trying to connect the dots -- no one in the MSM ever will, otherwise they wouldn't keep running his proto-Oliver Stone conspiracy theories so blindly over the decades.
Update: More on the 85-year old Gore and other "Liberals at Twilight" from Andrew Klavan at Ricochet, who adds:
Lefty celebrities of the sixties age badly. Really badly. Once their wit or talent or gift for invective is gone, they have nothing left but crotchety and unreasoned distaste for the Others who disagree with them. They have become, in fact, conservative in the pejorative sense of that word: inflexible, immovable, cantankerously defiant of change.
I'm not sure if conservative is the right word here -- but reactionary certainly seems like a perfect fit.
