"We're very kind and very patient," says Kremlin in last words to O'Rilley
The Kremlin has marked the calendar for 2023 and will be patiently waiting for Bill O'Rilley apology, says Vladimir Putin's spokesperson Dmitry Peskov.
Russia is "very kind and very patient", said Vladimir Putin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, in response to Bill O'Rilley's refusal to apologize for calling Russia's President 'a killer' during his weekend interview with Donald Trump.
"Apparently, the Putin administration in Moscow [is] demanding that I — your humble correspondent — apologize for saying 'Old Vlad' is a killer," O'Reilly said on his Fox show. "So I'm working on that apology, but it might take a little time. Might want to check in with me around 2023."
RT is reporting the following details:
On Tuesday, Peskov reacted to O'Reilly's comment, saying that Russia has "a different understanding of the rules of etiquette and manners than this gentleman [O'Reilly]."
"But we are very kind and very patient. We will put a note in the calendar for the year 2023 and return to him with this question," Peskov added.
According to Putin's spokesman, the incident is even more "unpleasant" for Fox News Channel than for Russia.
"We are not inclined to exaggerate this or to blow this out of proportion," he said, suggesting the Kremlin would not pursue the incident further.
"But in any case the insult that is voiced by a correspondent of a media outlet and subsequently passed over in silence by its chief editorial office characterizes these media negatively."
On Monday, Vladimir Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov had called O'Reilly remarks about Putin, which he made during the weekend interview with Donald Trump, "unacceptable and insulting," adding that the Kremlin expects an apology "from such a respected TV company."

VIPS Fault Mueller Probe, Criticize Refusal to Interview Assange
The bug in Mueller's report released on Thursday is that he accepts that the Russian government interfered in the election. Trump should challenge that, says VIPS.
MEMORANDUM FOR: The President
FROM: Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS)
SUBJECT: The Fly in the Mueller Ointment
April 16, 2019
Mr. President:
The song has ended but the melody lingers on. The release Thursday of the redacted text of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's "Report on the Investigation into Russian Interference in the 2016 Presidential Election" nudged the American people a tad closer to the truth on so-called "Russiagate."
But the Mueller report left unscathed the central-but-unproven allegation that the Russian government hacked into the DNC and Podesta emails, gave them to WikiLeaks to publish, and helped you win the election. The thrust will be the same; namely, even if there is a lack of evidence that you colluded with Russian President Vladimir Putin, you have him to thank for becoming president. And that melody will linger on for the rest of your presidency, unless you seize the moment.
Mueller has accepted that central-but-unproven allegation as gospel truth, apparently in the lack of any disinterested, independent forensic work. Following the odd example of his erstwhile colleague, former FBI Director James Comey, Mueller apparently has relied for forensics on a discredited, DNC-hired firm named CrowdStrike, whose credibility is on a par with "pee-tape dossier" compiler Christopher Steele. Like Steele, CrowdStrike was hired and paid by the DNC (through a cutout).
We brought the lack of independent forensics to the attention of Attorney General William Barr on March 13 in a Memorandum entitled "Mueller's Forensic-Free Findings", but received no reply or acknowledgement. In that Memorandum we described the results of our own independent, agenda-free forensic investigation led by two former Technical Directors of the NSA, who avoid squishy "assessments," preferring to base their findings on fundamental principles of science and the scientific method. Our findings remain unchallenged; they reveal gaping holes in CrowdStrike's conclusions.
We do not know if Barr shared our March 13 Memorandum with you. As for taking a public position on the forensics issue, we suspect he is being circumspect in choosing his battles carefully, perhaps deferring until later a rigorous examination of the dubious technical work upon which Mueller seems to have relied.
Barr's Notification to Congress
As you know, the big attention-getter came on March 24 when Attorney General William Barr included in his four-page summary a quote from Mueller's report: "The investigation did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities." Understandably, that grabbed headlines — the more so, since most Americans had been convinced earlier by the media that the opposite was true.
There remains, however, a huge fly in the ointment. The Mueller report makes it clear that Mueller accepts as a given — an evidence-impoverished given — that the Russian government interfered in the election on two tracks:
Track 1 involves what Barr, echoing Mueller, claims "a Russian organization, the Internet Research Agency (IRA)" did in using social media "to sow social discord, eventually with the aim of interfering with the election." A careful look at this allegation shows it to be without merit, despite Herculean efforts by The New York Times, for example, to put lipstick on this particular pig. After some rudimentary research, award winning investigative reporter Gareth Porter promptly put that pig out of its misery and brought home the bacon. We do not believe "Track 1" merits further commentary.
Track 2 does need informed commentary, since it is more technical and — to most Americans — arcane. In Barr's words: "The Special Counsel found that Russian government actors successfully hacked into computers and obtained emails from persons affiliated with the Clinton campaign and Democratic Party organizations, and publicly disseminated those materials through various intermediaries, including WikiLeaks. Based on these activities, the Special Counsel brought criminal charges against a number of Russian military officers for conspiring to hack into computers in the United States for purposes of influencing the election."
We are eager to see if Mueller's report contains more persuasive forensic evidence than that which VIPS has already debunked. In Barr's summary, the only mention of forensics refers to "forensic accountants" — a far cry from the kind of forensic investigators needed to provide convincing proof of "hacking" by the Russian government.
But They Were Indicted!
Circular reasoning is not likely to work for very long, even with a U.S. populace used to being brainwashed by the media. Many Americans had mistakenly assumed that Mueller's indictment of Russians — whether they be posting on FaceBook or acting like intelligence officers — was proof of guilt. But, as lawyers regularly point out, "one can easily indict a ham sandwich" — easier still these days, if it comes with Russian dressing.
Chances have now increased that the gullible folks who had been assured that Mueller would find collusion between you and Putin may now be a bit more circumspect — skeptical even — regarding the rest of the story-line of the "Russian hack," and that will be even more likely among those with some technical background. Such specialists will have a field day, IF — and it is a capital "IF" — by some miracle, word of VIPS' forensic findings gets into the media this time around.
The evidence-impoverished, misleadingly labeled "Intelligence Community Assessment" of January 6, 2017 had one saving grace. The authors noted: "The nature of cyberspace makes attribution of cyber operations difficult but not impossible. Every kind of cyber operation — malicious or not — leaves a trail." Forensic investigators can follow a trail of metadata and other technical properties. VIPS has done that.
A "High-Class Entity?"
If, as we strongly suspect, Mueller is relying for forensics solely on CrowdStrike, the discredited firm hired by the DNC in the spring of 2016, he is acting more in the mold of Inspector Clouseau than the crackerjack investigator he is reputed to be. It simply does not suffice for Mueller's former colleague James Comey to tell Congress that CrowdStrike is a "high-class entity." It is nothing of the sort and, in addition to its documented incompetence, it is riddled with conflicts of interest. Comey needs to explain why he kept the FBI away from the DNC computers after they were said to have been "hacked."
And former National Intelligence Director James Clapper needs to explain his claim last November that "the forensic evidence was overwhelming about what the Russians had done." What forensic evidence? From CrowdStrike? We at VIPS, in contrast, are finding more and more forensic evidence that the DNC emails were leaked, not hacked by the Russians or anyone else — and that "Guccifer 2.0" is an out-and-out fraud. Yes, we can prove that from forensics too.
But the Talking Heads Say …
Again, if Mueller's incomplete investigation is allowed to assume the status of Holy Writ, most Americans will continue to believe that — whether you colluded the Russians or not — Putin came through for you big time. In short, absent President Putin's help, you would not be president.
Far too many Americans will still believe this because of the mainstream-media fodder — half-cooked by intelligence leaks — that they have been fed for two and a half years. The media have been playingthe central role in the effort of the MICIMATT (the Military-Industrial-Congressional-Intelligence-Media-Academia-Think-Tank) complex to stymie any improvement in relations with Russia. We in VIPS have repeatedly demonstrated that the core charges of Russian interference in the 2016 election are built on a house of cards. But, despite our record of accuracy on this issue — not to mention our pre-Iraq-war warnings about the fraudulent intelligence served up by our former colleagues — we have gotten no play in mainstream media.
Most of us have chalked up decades in the intelligence business and many have extensive academic and government experience focusing on Russia. We consider the issue of "Russian interference" of overriding significance not only because the allegation is mischievously bogus and easily disproven. More important, it has brought tension with nuclear-armed Russia to the kind of dangerous fever pitch not seen since the Cuban missile crisis in 1962, when the Russian provocation was real — authentic, not synthetic.
Sober minds resolved that crisis more than a half-century ago, and we all got to live another day. These days sober minds seem few and far between and a great deal is at stake. On the intelligence/forensics side, we have proved that the evidence adduced to "prove" that the Russians hacked into the DNC and Podesta emails and gave them to WikiLeaks is spurious. For example, we have examined metadata from one key document attributed to Russian hacking and shown that it was synthetically tainted with "Russian fingerprints."
Who Left the Bread Crumbs?
So, if it wasn't the Russians, who left the "Russian" bread-crumb "fingerprints?" We do not know for sure; on this question we cannot draw a conclusion based on the principles of science — at least not yet. We suspect, however, that cyber warriors closer to home were responsible for inserting the "tell-tale signs" necessary to attribute "hacks" to Russia. We tacked on our more speculative views regarding this intriguing issue onto the end of our July 24, 2017 Memorandum to you entitled "Intelligence Veterans Challenge Russia Hack Evidence."
We recall that you were apprised of that Memorandum's key findings because you ordered then-CIA Director Mike Pompeo to talk to William Binney, one of our two former NSA Technical Directors and one of the principal authors of that Memorandum. On October 24, 2017, Pompeo began an hour-long meeting with Binney by explaining the genesis of the odd invitation to CIA Headquarters: "You are here because the president told me that if I really wanted to know about Russian hacking I needed to talk to you."
On the chance Pompeo has given you no report on his meeting with Binney, we can tell you that Binney, a plain-spoken, widely respected scientist, began by telling Pompeo that his (CIA) people were lying to him about Russian hacking and that he (Binney) could prove it. Pompeo reacted with disbelief, but then talked of following up with the FBI and NSA. We have no sign, though, that he followed through. And there is good reason to believe that Pompeo himself may have been reluctant to follow up with his subordinates in the Directorate of Digital Innovation created by CIA Director John Brennan in 2015. CIA malware and hacking tools are built by the Engineering Development Group, part of that relatively new Directorate.
A leak from within the CIA, published on March 31, 2017 by WikiLeaks as part of the so-called "Vault 7" disclosures, exposed a cyber tool called "Marble," which was used during 2016 for "obfuscation" (CIA's word). This tool can be used to conduct a forensic attribution double game (aka a false-flag operation); it included test samples in Arabic, Chinese, Farsi, Korean, and Russian. Washington Post reporter Ellen Nakashima, to her credit, immediately penned an informative article on the Marble cyber-tool, under the catching (and accurate) headline "WikiLeaks' latest release of CIA cyber-tools could blow the cover on agency hacking operations." That was apparently before Nakashima "got the memo." Mainstream media have otherwise avoided like the plague any mention of Marble.
Mr. President, we do not know if CIA's Marble, or tools like it, played some kind of role in the campaign to blame Russia for hacking the DNC. Nor do we know how candid the denizens of CIA's Directorate of Digital Innovation have been with the White House — or with former Director Pompeo — on this touchy issue. Since it is still quite relevant, we will repeat below a paragraph included in our July 2017 Memorandum to you under the sub-heading "Putin and the Technology:"
"We also do not know if you have discussed cyber issues in any detail with President Putin. In his interview with NBC's Megyn Kelly, he seemed quite willing – perhaps even eager – to address issues related to the kind of cyber tools revealed in the Vault 7 disclosures, if only to indicate he has been briefed on them. Putin pointed out that today's technology enables hacking to be "masked and camouflaged to an extent that no one can understand the origin" [of the hack] … And, vice versa, it is possible to set up any entity or any individual that everyone will think that they are the exact source of that attack. Hackers may be anywhere," he said. "There may be hackers, by the way, in the United States who very craftily and professionally passed the buck to Russia. Can't you imagine such a scenario? … I can."
As we told Attorney General Barr five weeks ago, we consider Mueller's findings fundamentally flawed on the forensics side and ipso facto incomplete. We also criticized Mueller for failing to interview willing witnesses with direct knowledge, like WikiLeaks' Julian Assange.
Political Enemies & Mainstream Media (Forgive the Redundancy)
You may be unaware that in March 2017 lawyers for Assange and the Justice Department (acting on behalf of the CIA) reportedly were very close to an agreement under which Assange would agree to discuss "technical evidence ruling out certain parties" in the leak of the DNC emails and agree to redact some classified CIA information, in exchange for limited immunity. According to the investigative reporter John Solomon of The Hill, Sen. Mark Warner, (D-VA) vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, learned of the incipient deal and told then-FBI Director Comey, who ordered an abrupt"stand down" and an end to the discussions with Assange.
Why did Comey and Warner put the kibosh on receiving "technical evidence ruling out certain parties" [read Russia]? We won't insult you with the obvious answer. Assange is now in prison, to the delight of so many — including Mrs. Clinton who has said Assange must now "answer for what he has done."
But is it too late to follow up somehow on Assange's offer? Might he or his associates be still willing to provide "technical evidence" showing, at least, who was not the culprit?
You, Mr. President, could cause that to happen. You would have to buck strong resistance at every turn, and there all manner of ways that those with vested interests and a lot of practice in sabotage can try to thwart you — with the full cooperation of most media pundits. By now, you know all too well how that works.
But you are the president. And there may be no better time than now to face them down, show the spurious nature of the concocted "evidence" attempting to put you in "Putin's pocket," and — not least — lift the cloud that has prevented you from pursuing a more decent relationship with Russia.

Ukraine's president-in-waiting Zelensky vows to end conflict in Donbass with 'POWERFUL INFOWAR'
Zelensky vowed to "act within the Normandy format," referring to the French-German-Russian-Ukrainian talks on war in Donbass, saying that "we will continue the Minsk process, we will restart it."
Comedian-turned-politician Volodymyr Zelensky, set for a landslide win in Ukraine's presidential vote, stayed true to character at his first press conference, dropping some flashy promises but refusing to go into boring detail.
Shortly after claiming electoral victory, Zelensky held a Q&A session with reporters at his campaign HQ in a Kiev business center. While the official results of the elections have yet to be announced, multiple exit polls suggest he secured more than 72 percent of votes.
Zelensky addressed the media in an easy-going manner. He spoke in a mix of Ukrainian and Russian, switching between the two languages, sometimes in one sentence. He also talked English a bit. But if the press hoped to shed light on the policies of the incoming president and his team, the conference actually generated more questions than answers.
Bringing the civil war in eastern Ukraine to an end appears to be one of the top priorities for Zelensky.
Promising to announce some kind of a plan shortly, he asked the reporters for help in the upcoming "infowar" that he says would help end the conflict, which, since 2014, has been raging between Kiev's troops and the rebel self-proclaimed republics.
We will launch a very powerful information war to end the war in Donbass.
He then vowed to "act within the Normandy format," referring to the French-German-Russian-Ukrainian talks on war in Donbass, saying that "we will continue the Minsk process, we will restart it."
Next up, Zelensky did not rule out – even if half-jokingly – that the outvoted president Petro Poroshenko could gain a government post if the public "asks so."
Do you want me to appoint him? Then I will ask society… If they tell me that they want to see Petro Poroshenko in one post or another – maybe, I don't know.
Zelensky added, though, that he would like to try "new people" first. But the very team of the soon-to-be president still remains a mystery, as he's refusing to provide any names, be it the new administration, the judiciary, or the country's military.
"We have very serious acting generals who have authority in the army, you will definitely see them. I have no right to give the names of these people now, as there is an agreement with the generals," Zelensky said cryptically, likewise not revealing his candidate for prosecutor general.
For now, Zelensky and his Servant of the People party – notably named after his own comedy show where he played a schoolteacher-turned-president – are promising to introduce the team "in the near future."
The Triumph of Evil
What is going on is that American oil companies want to recover their control over the revenue streams from Venezuela's vast oil reserves.
Authored by Paul Craig Roberts:
Today (April 17) I heard a NPR "news" report that described the democratically elected president of Venezuela as "the Venezuelan dictator Maduro." By repeating over and over that a democratically elected president is a dictator, the presstitutes create that image of Maduro in the minds of vast numbers of peoples who know nothing about Venezuela and had never heard of Maduro until he is dropped on them as "dictator."
Nicolas Maduro Moros was elected president of Venezuela in 2013 and again in 2018. Previously he served as vice president and foreign minister, and he was elected to the National Assembly in 2000. Despite Washington's propaganda campaign against him and Washington's attempt to instigate violent street protests and Maduro's overthrow by the Venezuelan military, whose leaders have been offered large sums of money, Maduro has the overwhelming support of the people, and the military has not moved against him.
What is going on is that American oil companies want to recover their control over the revenue streams from Venezuela's vast oil reserves. Under the Bolivarian Revolution of Chavez, continued by Maduro, the oil revenues instead of departing the country have been used to reduce poverty and raise literacy inside Venezuela.
The opposition to Maduro inside Venezuela comes from the elites who have been traditionally allied with Washington in the looting of the country. These corrupt elites, with the CIA's help, temporarily overthrew Chavez, but the people and the Venezuelan military secured his release and return to the presidency.
Washington has a long record of refusing to accept any reformist governments in Latin America. Reformers get in the way of North America's exploitation of Latin American countries and are overthrown.
With the exceptions of Venezuela, Bolivia, Cuba, and Nicaragua, Latin America consists of Washington's vassal states. In recent years Washington destroyed reform governments in Honduras, Argentina and Brazil and put gangsters in charge.
According to US national security adviser John Bolton, a neoconservative war monger, the governments in Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua will soon be overthrown. New sanctions have now been placed on the three countries. Washington in the typical display of its pettiness targeted sanctions against the son of the Nicaraguan president Daniel Ortega. https://www.rt.com/news/456841-bolton-russia-venezuela-threat/
Ortega has been the leader of Nicaragua since for 40 years. He was president 1985-1990 and has been elected and reelected as president since 2006.
Ortega was the opponent of Somoza, Washington's dictator in Nicaragua. Consequently he and his movement were attacked by the neoconservative operation known as Iran-Contra during the Reagan years. Ortega was a reformer. His government focused on literacy, land reform, and nationalization, which was at the expense of the wealthy ruling class. He was labeled a "Marxist-Leninist," and Washington attempted to discredit his reforms as controversial leftist policies.
Somehow Castro and Ortega survived Washington's plots against them. By the skin of his teeth so did Chavez unless you believe it was the CIA that gave him cancer. Castro and Chavez are dead. Ortega is 74. Maduro is in trouble, because Washington has stolen Venezuela's bank deposits and cut Venezuela off the international financial system, and the British have stolen Venezuela's gold. This makes it hard for Venezuela to pay its debts.
The Trump regime has branded the democratically twice-elected Maduro an "illegitimate" president. Washington has found a willing puppet, Juan Guaido, to take Maduro's place and has announced that the puppet is now the president of Venezuela. No one among the Western presstitutes or among the vassals of Washington's empire finds it strange that an elected president is illegitimate but one picked by Washington is not.
Russia and China have given Maduro diplomatic support. Both have substantial investments in Venezuela that would be lost if Washington seizes the country. Russia's support for Maduro was declared by Bolton today to be a provocation that is a threat to international peace and security. Bolton said his sanctions should be seen by Russia as a warning against providing any help for the Venezuelan government.
Secretary of state Mike Pompeo and vice president Pence have added their big mouths to the propaganda against the few independent governments in Latin America. Where is the shame when the highest American government officials stand up in front of the world and openly proclaim that it is official US government policy to overthrow democratically elected governments simply because those governments don't let Americans plunder their countries?
How is it possible that Pompeo can announce that the "days are numbered" of the elected president of Nicaragua, who has been elected president 3 or 4 times, and the world not see the US as a rogue state that must be isolated and shunned? How can Pompeo describe Washington's overthrow of an elected government as "setting the Nicaraguan people free?"
The top officials of the US government have announced that they intend to overthrow the governments of 3 countries and this is not seen as "a threat to international peace and security?"
How much peace and security did Washington's overthrow of governments in Iraq, Libya, Ukraine, and the attempted overthrow of Syria bring?
Washington is once again openly violating international law and the rest of the world has nothing to say?
There is only one way to describe this: The Triumph of Evil.

Permission Marketing
Permission marketing is the privilege (not the right) of delivering anticipated, personal and relevant messages to people who actually want to get them.
It recognizes the new power of the best consumers to ignore marketing. It realizes that treating people with respect is the best way to earn their attention.
Pay attention is a key phrase here, because permission marketers understand that when someone chooses to pay attention they are actually paying you with something precious. And there's no way they can get their attention back if they change their mind. Attention becomes an important asset, something to be valued, not wasted.
Real permission is different from presumed or legalistic permission. Just because you somehow get my email address doesn't mean you have permission. Just because I don't complain doesn't mean you have permission. Just because it's in the fine print of your privacy policy doesn't mean it's permission either.
Real permission works like this: if you stop showing up, people complain, they ask where you went.
I got a note from a Daily Candy reader the other day. He was upset because for three days in a row, his Daily Candy newsletter hadn't come. That's permission.
Permission is like dating. You don't start by asking for the sale at first impression. You earn the right, over time, bit by bit.
One of the key drivers of permission marketing, in addition to the scarcity of attention, is the extraordinarily low cost of dripping to people who want to hear from you. RSS and email and other techniques mean you don't have to worry about stamps or network ad buys every time you have something to say. Home delivery is the milkman's revenge... it's the essence of permission.
Permission doesn't have to be formal but it has to be obvious. My friend has permission to call me if he needs to borrow five dollars, but the person you meet at a trade show has no such ability to pitch you his entire resume, even though he paid to get in.
Subscriptions are an overt act of permission. That's why home delivery newspaper readers are so valuable, and why magazine subscribers are worth more than newsstand ones.
In order to get permission, you make a promise. You say, "I will do x, y and z, I hope you will give me permission by listening." And then, this is the hard part, that's all you do. You don't assume you can do more. You don't sell the list or rent the list or demand more attention. You can promise a newsletter and talk to me for years, you can promise a daily RSS feed and talk to me every three minutes, you can promise a sales pitch every day (the way Woot does). But the promise is the promise until both sides agree to change it. You don't assume that just because you're running for President or coming to the end of the quarter or launching a new product that you have the right to break the deal. You don't.
Permission doesn't have to be a one-way broadcast medium. The internet means you can treat different people differently, and it demands that you figure out how to let your permission base choose what they hear and in what format.
When I launched my book that coined this phrase 9 years ago, I offered people a third of the book for free in exchange for an email address. And I never, ever did anything with those addresses again. That wasn't part of the deal. No follow ups, no new products. A deal's a deal.
If it sounds like you need humility and patience to do permission marketing, you're right. That's why so few companies do it properly. The best shortcut, in this case, is no shortcut at all.

The book was funny and the characters didn't talk like in the normal rhymes. It reminded me of the Stinky Cheese Man book where the stories and characters were a little different and kind of crazy. I liked how the author gave me clues in her writing about which nursery rhyme character was coming up next in the story. It was fun trying to figure it out.
I think older kids will like this story because they'll know about it already but it's not to babyish like for little kids. They'll like the jokes and funny writing a lot!

I'd agree.. it's a sign of maturity of the cluster concept that they *are* considered appliances. Of course, if you are a cluster designer/builder, you'd love to tinker with it, but the vast majority of users shouldn't need to. here's a paraphrase of classic example in a talk I heard (and I wish I could remember who it was, or the origin): Speaker asks all the people in the audience: "Those of you with manual transmissions in your car, raise your hand." 3/4 of the audience raises their hand. Speaker: "YOU, with your hands waving in the air, are NOT the people who should be designing the user interfaces. Build them, fine, but I want the application to be like an automatic transmission.. puts the power to the wheels in an optimum fashion and I don't have to think about it, manipulate it, etc." Jim

Realigning investment tax incentives to job opportunities
The recent decline in global commodity prices is proving to be very costly for South Africa. The deterioration of South Africa's terms of trade since 2012 cost at least four percentage points of gross domestic product (GDP) growth. This estimate does not account for some important indirect effects generated by the commodity price shock, including the heightened volatility of the rand and its impact on investment decisions. Instead of global monetary policy developments, commodity price volatility is now understood as being the main driver of exchange rate and capital account volatility in South Africa, and in emerging markets more generally. And 91% of European investors surveyed in the second half of 2014 identified the volatility of the rand as a major constraint to doing business in South Africa.

A winner was selected from 99 designs submitted by 21 freelance designers.
Weddings By Shan
I just moved to Chicago to start my dream business as a wedding planner. Ever since I was a child I have aspired to own my own business. It is very exciting to be a part of the happiest day in a couples life. I love the creative aspect of the coordinating, while multitasking and organizing are my specialities. Watching the grooms face light up as the bride is escorted down the aisle is inspiring! I cant wait to help turn their dreams into reality. Only problem is I need your help! I need to get my name out into the "Windy City" and to all of the newly engaged couples. Branding is the first step.
I am targeting the younger generation brides with a hectic lifestyle. A couple who has very little time to think about their big day. Weddings By Shan is perfect for the budget conscious couple, that love the vintage modern appeal that the city has to offer.
I am looking for a logo to represent my wedding coordinating company- Weddings By Shan.
I like cursive writing and incorporating a ring if possible. (Maybe as a letter- if it doesn't look childish) No clip art.
Very open to ideas and suggestions.
Few words that would describe the way I want it to look:
Really like the logo below: (like the flower and the clean lines)
Trying to steer clear or a young/childish look. Very professional and reliable looking is key.
Favorite colors (as well as colors that will be incorporated into my website): Dark purple and aqua and possibly light green. Please feel free to experiment with colors.
Do not like this:
This will be the feel of my website:
My logo will need to imported onto my website (wordpress site) as well onto business cards. I am not really sure of the format that requires.
The files we will require are (if the above applies)
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)
Thank you for your help! I look forward to seeing your design! Let me know if you have any questions.

WORCESTER, Mass. - The women's track team traveled to WPI on Saturday to compete in the annual tri-meet Engineer's Cup. MIT overcame the poor spring conditions and won the competition with a total score of 155, while Rensselaer Polytechnic (143) and host WPI (65) followed behind.
MIT athletes put on quite a show that featured several individual event winners. Senior Betsy Eames led the way with a personal best time of 19:11.82 in the 5000, a significant improvement over her previous top mark. In the 1500, junior Hana Adaniya finished in 5:03.70 for the victory. Sophomore Leanna Veldhuis was the winner of the 400 meter hurdles (1:09.39), and Alisha Schor was the victor in the 3000 meter steeplechase (11:56.47).
In the pole vault, the Engineers nabbed the top three spots, including Emily Hwang's first place mark (9-09.00). Other event winners were junior Chi-Fong Wang in the javelin (106-10) and sophomore Karen Davie in the triple jump (32-06.25).
The Engineers next compete in Lewiston, Maine on Saturday, April 15 against four Maine colleges. The quad meet will begin at 12:00 p.m.

Gay group challenges exclusion from Vietnamese new year parade in Southern California
WESTMINSTER, Calif. – Gay rights activists are stepping up pressure on the organizers of a Vietnamese new year parade in Orange County to allow them to march.
Since being excluded from the parade in 2013, Hieu Nguyen formed the group Viet Rainbow for gays and lesbians in the Vietnamese community and to challenge organizers to let them participate in the event that winds through the heart of Southern California's Little Saigon.
"This is not the Rosa Parks era," Nguyen said. "I'm not sitting at the back of the bus anymore."
Other groups including the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation are now also pressuring parade organizers, the Los Angeles Times reported Monday (http://lat.ms/1cwmkrz). But some leaders in Southern California's largest Vietnamese immigrant enclave say the community is not ready to welcome gay men and women.
"This issue is too new for the community," Hung P. Nguyen, a member of one of the Vietnamese community groups that co-sponsored the 2013 parade, told the newspaper.
The Westminster City Council will consider Wednesday whether to grant a permit to the Vietnamese American Federation of Southern California for the event expected to draw thousands in February.
Messages left for the Federation's contact, Neil Nguyen, were not immediately returned.
Christian Bettenhausen, Westminster's assistant city attorney, told The Associated Press that the city council should evaluate public safety and health issues when granting a permit but much like a demonstration, a parade is considered free speech.
"They really don't have discretion here to deny a permit based on the fact they like or dislike the message that will be conveyed," he said.

DALLAS — Don't think Josh Smith is just waiting to bolt Atlanta, the only city he's known for the vast majority of his 27 years. He has a wife there, two young children, a home, good friends and one very personal chauffeur.
"I love driving to the games with my father, each and every home game," Smith said Monday night after he continued to grab the attention of general managers across the league with a 26-point, 13-rebound, six-assist performance to push the Hawks to a road win over the Dallas Mavericks. "Every home game, my dad drives me to the arena. He gives me his assessments after each and every game. With the exception of myself criticizing my game, he's the next person in line."
Pete Smith won't find much to criticize in the 105-101 win. His son went 10-for-15 from the floor, canned a season-high-tying four 3-pointers on five attempts, including a huge one with 1:29 to go for a 99-94 lead. OK, so he did have five turnovers and missed a pair of late free throws before making two with 22.2 seconds to go.
"I have to wait for his texts," Josh Smith said. "I know he's probably texted me two or three times, a long paragraph about whatever he feels like I did, but it's always something. It's all good. That's my dad."
And that's hard to leave. But if Smith is traded, he is ready for that, too. It is Atlanta general manager Danny Ferry's call to make by the Feb. 21 trade deadline. The Brooklyn Nets, according to reports, are pushing the hardest.
"I will say there is a lot invested," said Smith, who has gone on a tear over the last nine games. "I was born and raised there, spent my whole childhood and my whole life there. I will say it's a big investment." But, Smith continued, "Once you understand as a player that this is a business and you don't take anything personal, you kind of worry about just playing basketball."
After dropping three of four, including an 11-point home loss Friday to New Orleans, Atlanta improved to 28-22 with Monday's win. The Hawks are searching for the spark that sent them to a 20-10 start as they've fallen to sixth in the East, two games behind third-place Indiana (and just one game in the loss column).
The Hawks are positioned for a sixth consecutive trip to the playoffs in Smith's ninth season, but the question is if this team is built to make a legitimate run at the Miami Heat for the East crown.
"I'm not sure; that's going to be interesting," center Al Horford said. "It's one of those things that can be frustrating, because when you see the potential of our team in a game like tonight it makes you wonder. So it's going to be one of those things that management is going to have to make a decision and see what they feel like."
Monday's win showed both the potential — five players scoring in double figures and three with 20 points or more, plus dominant board work — as well as the flaws. The Hawks also had 18 turnovers, many careless, and showed an inability to maintain leads.
For Ferry, the decision will have ramifications well beyond this season's potential. He can trade his 6-foot-9, 225-pound leading scorer and second-leading rebounder and acquire players to build around; or risk losing Smith for nothing to the highest bidder this summer when he becomes an unrestricted free agent. If he remains, Smith said he'll give full consideration to re-signing with the Hawks.
Of course, further complicating the decision is the Dwight Howard factor. Howard, like Smith, is from Atlanta. They're the same age and good friends. Ferry unloaded Joe Johnson's contract on Brooklyn last July to create cap space to sign Howard to a max deal.
To convince Howard, it would make sense for Smith be there.
"I don't know, it might be an enticing thought process for [Howard] to be there if I'm there," Smith said. "You never know. This league is unpredictable, players are definitely unpredictable, so you never know what future lies ahead of us."
Smith said he and Howard have not talked recently and have never discussed their futures in much detail.
"You know, he's going through a rough stretch right now, so I like giving people their space when they're going through situations so they can be able to just try to work it out," Smith said. "Whenever he needs my advice I'll be there for him. We haven't really necessarily talked about anything as of right now, so I'm pretty sure he's just trying to get back healthy, trying to get his timing back. I'm just trying to focus on what I'm doing as far as getting better as a player and trying to be as successful as possible for this team."
The next move belongs to Ferry.

Spoiler for In a general sense:
I also added somewhat detailed background information (including the contents that are going be covered in Anime soon) trying to explain the reason for each girl's particular personality.
- Houki -
[SPOILER="About Houki"]
She has external appearance of typical yamato nadesico, being a miko and all...
(Her family used to run Shinonono Shrine, and was also leading a unique swordsmanship technique - which is obviously called Shinonono-style sword technique)
So basically her personality is of discipline and temperateness.
But because of she was raised as such, she had hard time socializing with other kids (other boys made fun of her for being boyish) so she had virtually no friends, except for Ichika who thought of her as cute girl and helped her out by chasing those boys away whenever she was being mocked.
She also has some serious emotional problem, not being able to suppress her temper and often resulting to violence.
She learned Kendo for self control, but it doesn't seem effective so far.
For an example, before IS was introduced (when she and Ichika was learning Kendo together) she proposed that she and Ichika go on a date if she won the national Kendo tournament. But right before the day of finals, the world was shocked by the 'White Knight Incident' and the Japanese government issued a special directive to protect Shinonono Tabane and her family, which included Houki as well.
Unlike 'witness protection program,' Shinonono family retained their identity, and that meant heavier security measures such as moving them around almost constantly and regulating outside contact.
For this reason she couldnt be at the tournament so it was an automatic forfeit, and that's when she began to hate her sister, Tabane, for causing all this - especially ruining her chance to meet Ichika.
All outgoing and incoming contacts was monitored and regulated, so there was no way Ichika - an ordinary boy that time - could contact Houki, and she was unable to contact Ichika either since the Japanese government couldn't risk a nobody like Ichika to obtain information regarding whereabouts of her.
As a result, she begins to put more time in Kendo, which was the only connection she thought she had left with Ichika. But at the same time, Kendo became an outlet for her to vent her frustration - by bashing opponents - which she realized after winning a national tournament. (This is the event mentioned in Anime - a year before their reunion)
While watching the other girl crying for losing at the tournament, she began to think that she might have crushed her - and many other competitor's - dream just so she could vent her anger. She felt self-hatred. She decided that what she had now was not a true strength, but just violence and remembered that Ichika was strong while being true to his ethical integrity, viewing it as a true strength.
With becoming strong like Ichika as her personal goal, she entered IS Academy. Although she succeeded in reuniting with Ichika, she still has that anger control problem.
(Apparently she has quite low aptitude score for an IS pilot, a 'C.' It's very likely that her status being Tabane's sister played a major role in her getting accepted.)
So which chapter did they say talk about Houki's aptitude? And also, did they ever mention Ichika's potential?

However... I have pointed that out before... perhaps a plot development would be Houki wanting to train her skills so that she isn't "a bother" anymore and because she's tired of being out-classed by everyone.
My hypothesis for why she sucks at ISes might be somewhat related to her hatred to her sister, who is the CREATOR of the Infinite Stratos, so she might feel some sort of disdain while using em...
Just my 2 cents.

I think the translation was placed in a wrong context or wording, specially with the wording and verb time.
Actually Ichika is saying/thinking that Chifuyu would have an easier time and not worrying about him when SHE GETS MARRIED or marry with someone who`s well off. Then he goes on about how he feels bitter that her sister is basically "married" to him since she has to take care of him and protect him.
That way it makes the following line easier to understand about how his sister (and sister-in law/wife too) forced him to go to high school instead of dropping out and work.

In fact, I really appreciate BT effort to translate IS, since I know all the work that is required. You are making it free btw, so you have the right to make a lot of errors.
Now, since we are discussing about it, here is my crazy/sad theory of why Ichika can pilot an IS:

Approximately 400-450 screens in the United States total will screen "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" with the new HFR standard (48 frames-per-second rather than the usual 24fps). That's enough to cover most major cities but only a few screens in each.
Talking about the rollout with Deadline, Warner Bros Domestic Distribution President Dan Fellman says that equipment is being tested and glitches are being fixed even now, while the limited rollout is because the technology "is going to change the way people see movies… you have to do it right."
Along with color correction, and the addition of "graininess and filtering," the final footage will reportedly look very different to the footage screened to a mixed response at CinemaCon back in April. Tickets for the HFR screenings likely will cost no more than cinemas already charge for conventional 3D films.

You would think with prices nearing Ł1/Litre people might slow down a bit to use less, but that does not seem to be the case. I'm trying to reduce my usage a bit by keeping my speed down a little and being more aware of how much pressure I use on the accelerator. We will see if I can improve on my usual figures of around 48mpg. I like the fact that I can easily get over 500 miles on a tank.
I'm still waiting for affordable cars that give much better economy. Maybe the latest hybrid cars like the Prius will get more popular if fuel prices keep rising. I know most of the UK price is tax, but that's unlikely to change much.
My theory about people speeding is that they do it because it is easy and they are unlikely to get caught. Modern cars can cruise at high speed and are so quiet that it doesn't feel that fast. You have to go really fast for it to feel exciting. Don't get me started on those noisy exhausts that seem to get fitted to every 'hot hatch'. I've even seem them on people carriers.
Speed cameras do not make much difference as most people know where they are or they buy gadgets to tell them. I wonder if there will ever be widespread use of technology to check your speed over long distances, e.g. sets of cameras on the motorway that log your registration number and make sure you don't get to the next one too quickly. It's all possible, but there are implications for privacy when everyone's number is logged.
I just find it ironic that a lot of the time speeding makes very little difference to journey time. On my commute I often catch up with drivers who zoomed past me earlier and have hit traffic. I'll keep driving for economy.

A New York Times editorial published in the midst of Hurricane Sandy's devastation has received a good deal of attention. The article argued that "A Big Storm Requires Big Government," politicizing and distorting calls for reform of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). A response by The Wall Street Journal, however, sought to set the debate straight.
While the Times tried to argue that conservatives essentially want to eliminate FEMA and place disaster response solely in the hands of the states, the Journal wrote:
This isn't an argument for abolishing FEMA so much as it is for the traditional federalist view that the feds shouldn't supplant state action. As it happens, the response to Hurricane Sandy has been a model of such a division of responsibility.
Citizens in the Northeast aren't turning on their TVs, if they have electricity, to hear Mr. Obama opine about subway flooding. They're tuning in to hear Governor Chris Christie talk about the damage to the Jersey shore, Mayor Mike Bloomberg tell them when bus service might resume in New York City, and Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy say when the state's highways might reopen.
The issue is not that the federal government shouldn't have a role in disaster response. Indeed, as Heritage's Matt Mayer explained:
No conservative I know wants to eliminate FEMA or the federal role in disaster response and recovery. The fact is, conservatives have been consistently advocating for the decentralization of those functions for routine natural disasters to states and localities to ensure that FEMA is prepared to deal with truly catastrophic events that hit America—like Hurricane Sandy.
In fact, the Journal actually cited Mayer on this exact point, as well as his figures documenting how federal disaster declarations have skyrocketed over the past two decades:
[A]nnual FEMA disaster declarations have multiplied since the Clinton years and have reached a yearly average of 153 under Mr. Obama. That compares to 129.6 under George W. Bush, 89.5 under Mr. Clinton, and only 28 a year under Reagan.
What this means is that FEMA is responding to more and more routine disasters such as tornadoes, fires, floods, snowstorms, and severe storms—with little to no regional or national impact. As a result, FEMA's resources are getting stretched thin, making the agency ill-prepared to respond to a large-scale, catastrophic disaster. Meanwhile, state and local governments, becoming used to the federal government swooping in and picking up the check, have begun to trim their own emergency response budgets. (continues below chart)
When a disaster like Hurricane Sandy truly overwhelms the capabilities of state and local governments, the federal government should be prepared to help. After all, the federal government can best organize and leverage national resources and call on the Defense Department and National Guard for help. But when FEMA is forced to respond to disasters on the scale of one every one-and-a-half days, it has no time to prepare.
Federalism has long been the guiding principle for allocating responsibilities to meet the needs of citizens after disasters. Hurricane Sandy should serve as a reminder of this principle, not an opportunity to abandon it.

Yonkers Events, Coupons, Reviews!
Subscribe to KidsScoop! The monthly family event and savings newsletter.
9993 Allegheny Road Darien Center, NY, NY 14040
I received these free tickets courtesy of US FAMILY BLOG. I am one of the mom blogger members and I've got the chance to get my family of 6 all free tickets. What's even more fun is that we got to visit them during their Harvest Festival, sure we missed the water park, since they were already closed during this time of the season. It was last yet, we never missed most of the rides at the park anyways, so it is still a win-win situation.
I have always gotten the tickets in the mail, however, this time of the year was different. They've got it dropped off at the Guest Relations office, in which I have never experienced before. Thought, there will be a long line, but it's not. When we got there last September 24, 2017. There wasn't a line at all. There were two opened windows and quickly went to get my free tickets. It was quick, just a little bit of verification and signature, they've got all 6 tickets printed.
Got to stop by quick at the restroom, since we have a long drive to get to the park. However, women's restroom is out of order, therefore lucky men they've got the chance to pee right away.
Oh, before that, we did miss the awesome band who was playing and welcoming us after we enter at the Entrance. I wonder what songs they were playing this time, though I can't remember the last time.
So, the women proceed to find a bathroom before we start with the adventure of the what rides to try first. Since, I've been in the park many times now, I am very much familiar with where to find the nearest restroom. I would say, it's clean and doesn't smell gross.
Because we went there almost the last week before the park closed for the year, there were some of the rides that were no longer open, plus we didn't maximize our time too since they are only open certain time of the day.
We drove almost 3 hours to get to the park, and so if we decided to come back next year? It will be best to be there during Summer and when all the rides are open.
Even though, we have limited time to enjoy the Darien Lake Park, all of us enjoyed the rides, the fun and the food that was there and open.
Oh, before I forget I like those van vendors that was parked that sells different food. Something that I look forward as I have seen them last year too.
We are all looking forward to the next year's season, and when we will get a seasonal pass, this would even better as we can visit the park at anytime we wanted, plus we will save a lot.

The True Jesus of the Gospels (Part 1)
Commentary by Raniero Cantalamessa
VATICAN CITY, MAY 14, 2007 (Zenit.org).- Here is a translation of the Italian-language commentary by Capuchin Father Raniero Cantalamessa, preacher of the Pontifical Household, on the book "Inchiesta su Gesù" (An Investigation on Jesus) by Corrado Augias and Mauro Pesce .
Parts 2 and 3 will appear Tuesday and Wednesday.
* * *
1. In the path of the cyclone
In the wake of Dan Brown's "Da Vinci Code" cyclone there have appeared, as always happens in these cases, new studies of the figure of Jesus of Nazareth whose intention is to reveal Jesus' true face which until now has been distorted by ecclesiastical orthodoxy. Even those who with their words distance themselves from such an undertaking show themselves to be influenced by it in many respects.
I think the book by Corrado Augias and Mauro Pesce, "Inchiesta su Gesù" (An Investigation of Jesus), published this year by Mondadori, is an example of this.
There are differences, as is natural, between the authors, the first being a journalist and the second a historian. But I do not wish to fall into the same error as this "investigation," which is to take account always and only the differences between the evangelists, and never their convergences. It is this error more than any other which I think compromises this "investigation." I will begin, therefore, with what is common to the two authors, Augias and Pesce.
It can be summed up thus: There existed at the beginning not one but many Christianities. One of these versions of Christianity won out over the others; it established, according to its own point of view, the canon of Scripture and imposed itself as orthodoxy, marginalizing the other versions as heresies and striking them from the record. However, thanks to the new discoveries of texts and a rigorous application of the historical method, today we are able to re-establish the truth and finally present Jesus of Nazareth as what he really was and as he intended to be, that is, as something completely different from that which the various Christian churches have up to now pretended he was.
No one questions the right of people to approach the figure of Christ historically, prescinding from the faith of the Church. Believing and non-believing historical criticism has been doing this with the most sophisticated instruments for at least three centuries now. The question is whether this current investigation of Jesus really gathers — though it be in a popular form accessible to the general public — the fruit of the work of these three centuries, or whether it operates from the beginning on the basis of a radical internal agenda and ends with a merely partial reconstruction.
I believe that, unfortunately, it is the latter that is the case. The thread that they have chosen is one which runs through Reimarus, Voltaire, Renan, Brandon and Hengel, and which today is taken up by literary critics and "humanities professors" such as Harold Bloom and Elaine Pagels.
What is completely absent is the contribution of the great Protestant and Catholic biblical exegesis developed after the war, in response to the theses of Rudolf Bultmann, which is much more positive about the possibility of reaching the Jesus of history through the Gospels.
To give one example, in 1998 Raymond Brown — "the most distinguished of American New Testament scholars, with few competitors worldwide," according to the New York Times — published a work of 1608 pages on the accounts of the passion and death of Jesus. It has been defined by specialists in the field as "the benchmark by which any future study of the Passion narratives will be measured," but in such a work there is no trace in the chapter dedicated to the motives behind Christ's death sentence, nor does it figure in the final bibliography which lists various English titles.
To the selective use of studies there corresponds an equally selective use of sources. The Gospel narratives are later adaptations when they falsify our authors' thesis, but they are taken to be historical when they are in agreement with it. Even the resurrection of Lazarus, although John's Gospel is the only one to attest to it, is taken into consideration if it can serve to corroborate the thesis of the political motivation of Jesus' arrest (p. 140).
2. But what do the apocrypha say?
But let us deal more directly with the book's basic thesis. Here we touch on the discovery of new texts that are supposed to modify the historical understanding of the origins of Christianity. Essentially these are certain apocryphal gospels found in Egypt in the middle of the last century, above all the Nag Hammadi codices. A subtle operation is performed here: The date of the composition of the canonical Gospels is pushed forward as far as possible while the date of the composition of the apocryphal texts is pushed back as far as possible so that the latter can be regarded as valid alternative sources to the former. But here we run up against a wall that cannot be easily gotten over: No canonical Gospel (not even that of John according to modern criticism) can be dated any later than 100 A.D. and no apocryphal text can be dated before that year. (The most daring suggest, by conjecture, dates of composition around the beginning of the third century or the middle of the second century.)
All the apocrypha draw from or assume the canonical Gospels; none of the canonical Gospels draw from or assume the apocrypha. To take an example very much in vogue today, of the 114 sayings of Christ in the Coptic Gospel of Thomas, 79 have parallels in the Synoptics, 11 are variants of synoptic parables. Only three parables are not attested to elsewhere.
Augias, in the line of Elaine Pagels, thinks he can overcome this chronological gap between the Synoptics and the Gospel of Thomas and the way that he tries to do this tells us something about the "historical rigor" with which these modern "investigations of Jesus" are conducted.
According to the author, in the Gospel of John we witness a clear attempt to discredit the apostle Thomas, a true persecution in his regard, comparable to that against Judas. The proof:
The insistence on Thomas' incredulity! Explanation: The author of the fourth Gospel wants to discredit the doctrines that already in his time were circulating under the name of the apostle Thomas and that come together later in the gospel that bears Thomas' name!
Thus we overcome the chronological gap. But what is forgotten is that John the Evangelist puts on Thomas' lips the most moving of declarations of love for Jesus: "Let us go and die with him" (John 11:16) and the most solemn profession of faith in Jesus: "My Lord and my God!" (John 20:28). Many exegetes say that this profession constitutes the crowning moment of John's entire Gospel. If Thomas is persecuted in the canonical Gospels, what should we say of poor Peter and all that they say about him! Perhaps Peter too was maligned so as to discredit a future apocryphal gospel that would bear his name.
But the important point is not even about the dates, but about the content of the apocryphal gospels. They say the exact opposite of that for which their authority is invoked. Our two authors advance a thesis according to which Jesus completely identifies with Judaism and did not intend to bring about any innovations in its regard. But all the apocryphal gospels profess, some more some less, a violent rupture with the Old Testament, making Jesus the revealer of a different and superior God. The revaluation of Judas in the gospel that goes by his name unfolds in conformity with this logic: With his betrayal, Judas helps Jesus to free himself from the last vestige of God the creator — the body! In this vision the heroes of the Old Testament become the villains and the villains, like Cain, become the heroes.
Jesus is presented in the book as a man who was elevated to the status of God only by the Church that came after him. The apocryphal gospels, on the contrary, present a Jesus who is true God but not true man; he has only taken on the appearance of a body (Docetism). For them, that which causes problems is not the divinity of Christ but his humanity. Are our authors disposed to follow the apocryphal gospels on this point?
We could make an even longer list of the equivocations in the usage of the apocryphal gospels. Dan Brown uses them to support the idea of a Jesus who exalts the feminine, who does not have problems with sex, and who marries Mary Magdalene. And to prove this Brown has recourse to the Gospel of Thomas, where it is said that if a woman wants to save herself she must cease being a woman and become a man!
The fact is that the apocryphal gospels, especially those that are Gnostic in origin, were not written with the intention of narrating historical facts and sayings of Jesus but as means for conveying a certain vision of God, of themselves and the world of an esoteric and Gnostic nature. Taking these texts as a basis for reconstructing the history of Jesus is like taking "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" as a basis not for understanding the thought of Friedrich Nietzsche but as one for understanding the thought of Zarathustra himself. For this reason, in the past although almost all the apocryphal texts were known, at least from ample citations in other works, no one ever thought of using them as sources for historical information about Jesus. Only our era of mass media, always exasperatedly searching for the commercial scoop, is doing this.
There are other historical sources for Jesus besides the canonical Gospels and it is strange that these are practically left out of this "investigation." The principal of these sources is Paul, who wrote less than thirty years after the death of Jesus and after being a proud opponent of Jesus. His testimony is discussed only in regard to the resurrection and, naturally, only to be discredited. And yet what is there that is essential in the faith and in the "dogmas" of Christianity which is not found attested to (in substance if not in form) in Paul, that is, before it had time to absorb alien elements? Is it possible, for example, to claim that the contrast between Jesus and the Pharisees with their legalistic mentality is non-historical and is a fruit of the later concern not to alarm the Roman authorities when Paul himself acknowledges having been a Pharisee and says that he doggedly persecuted Christians because of this?

Two Sundays ago, Fox Sports Midwest's Dan McLaughlin was arrested for driving drunk after he crashed into a stop sign in Chesterfield, a suburb of St. Louis. He was suspended from work, even though FSM doesn't carry postseason games so his year was effectively over. That mugshot, on the left, is the face of a man who knows he needs to find a new job.
But it's the crosseyed mugshot on the right that we're focused on here. That comes from McLaughlin's first DWI arrest, in August of 2010. The Riverfront Times just now got their hands on the police report (viewable below), and it's not flattering.
"I noticed his pants were saturated both front and back in the crotch area. I asked about it and he said it was sweat. it should be noted, he did not appear to be sweating anywhere else. When asked again how much he had to drink, he said, 'Nothing,' and then changed it to, 'Not much.'"
There's more goodness, like McLaughlin pulling the "do you know who I am," and even offering the arresting officer money to forget about the whole thing. But once you've pissed your pants, no one's ever going to call you Dan McLaughlin the Cop-Briber.

Constance MALLALIEU
CHARGE OF MANSLAUGTHER.—Emily Penfold, aged 10 years, was charged, on remand, with the manslaughter of Constance Mallalieu, a schoolmate, of about the same age. The case attracted some attention, and there was a large attendance of the public. Mr. Randal Macdonnell, Secretary and General Inspector to the Board of Education ; Mr. J. H. Scott, J.P. ; and Mr. C. Coxen, J.P., were present during part of the proceeding. Mr. Inspector Lewis prosecuted ; and Mr. Quinn, instructed by Mr. Bunton, defended.
Emily Creed, a domestic servant in the employ of Madame Mallalieu, residing in Adelaide-street, deposed: Madame Mallalieu had a daughter, named Constance, aged 10 years, who was alive on Thursday, the 19th instant ; about 2 o'clook that afternoon, I saw her going across to the Normal School, which she attended, and she was then in good health; on her return home, at a quarter-past 4, she had one hand on her head and the other on her side, and complained of great pain; she said she had been thrown down by some one [Witness was not allowed to mention the name] and kicked in the left side ; shortly afterwards she was put to bed, and Dr. Hobbs was called in at 11 o'clock the same night; she continued ill until Saturday at five minutes before 12 o'clock (noon), when she died.—By Mr. Quinn: Her mother gave her some chlorodyne when she came home ill, and the dose was repeated either that night or the following morning.—Miss Ellen O'Flynn, a teacher in the Normal school, produced the roll-book of her class, which showed that the prisoner attended school in the afternoon in question; witness did not remember the circumstance, but was sure, from her own marking off in the book, that the prisoner was present; there were sixteen or seventeen girls in the class.—Florence Adelaide Wilson, a little girl, said she was in Miss Fletcher's class ; after leaving school on the afternoon named, she saw, not far from Madame Mallalieu's residence in Adrlaide-street, two girls turning a rope, while Constanoe (the deceased) and the prisoner were skipping ; she then saw the prisoner hit "Conny" on the shoulder, and "Conny" fell down ; and while ahe was down, the prisoner kicked her twice in the side ; she (deceased) then went home, and had " both her hands up to her eyes." A long cross examination followed, in which it was elicited that both the prisoner and the deceased had been skipping in the early part of the day, and had fallen. —Dr. Hobbs then deposed: On the 19th instant, about 10 at night I was called to see the deceased ; she told me she was suffering great pain in the left side ; her breathing was very short, and seemed to distress her very much; I examined her, and found that she was suffering from inflammation of the pleura ; I asked what bad caused it, and she told me she had been knocked down by a girl at the school, and kicked in the ribs ; that would account for the state in which I found her; she remained under my care till she died, on Saturday about 12 o'clock (noon) ; I made a post-mortem examination of the body in the afternoon of the same day ; on opening the chest, I found the pleural cavity on the left side full of water, the lung on that side being pushed upwards and backwards towards the spine ; the heart also was pushed out of its place, a little to the right side, by the water ; on the lining membrane of the ribs on the left side I found a large patch of plastic matter of a gelatinous consistency about the size of the palm of a man's hand, corresponding to the situation of the sixth, seventh, and eighth ribs; the effusion of water and the plastic matter described were produced by the inflammation of the pleura, from which she died. Witness was subjected to a long cross-examination.—Elizabeth Ford, a little girl, who also attended the Normal School, stated that she saw the prisoner hit "Conny" on the back with her hand, but saw nothing more.—On the application of Mr. Inspector Lewis, the further hearing of the case was adjourned until the following day, for the attendance of a witness. The prisoner was again brought before the Court, yesterday, and committed for trial before the Supreme Court, on July 1.

What connection do you have to Constance Mallalieu? I have done some research on this as well. EReplyDelete
