Keisha N. Blain: Set the World on Fire
Keisha N. Blain discusses her book, the first to examine how black nationalist women engaged in national and global politics in the mid twentieth century, with NYU professor Thomas J. Sugrue.
In 1932, Mittie Maude Lena Gordon spoke to a crowd of black Chicagoans at the old Jack Johnson boxing ring, rallying their support for emigration to West Africa. In 1937, Celia Jane Allen traveled to Jim Crow Mississippi to organize rural black workers around black nationalist causes. In the late 1940s, from her home in Kingston, Jamaica, Amy Jacques Garvey launched an extensive letter-writing campaign to defend the Greater Liberia Bill, which would relocate 13 million black Americans to West Africa. Gordon, Allen, and Jacques Garvey—as well as Maymie De Mena, Ethel Collins, Amy Ashwood, and Ethel Waddell—are part of an overlooked and understudied group of black women who take center stage in Set the World on Fire.
Historians of the era generally portray the period between the Garvey movement of the 1920s and the Black Power movement of the 1960s as an era of declining black nationalist activism, but Keisha N. Blain reframes the Great Depression, World War II, and the early Cold War as significant eras of black nationalist—and particularly, black nationalist women's—ferment. In Chicago, Harlem, and the Mississippi Delta, from Britain to Jamaica, these women built alliances with people of color around the globe, agitating for the rights and liberation of black people in the United States and across the African diaspora. As pragmatic activists, they employed multiple protest strategies and tactics, combined numerous religious and political ideologies, and forged unlikely alliances in their struggles for freedom. Drawing on a variety of previously untapped sources, including newspapers, government records, songs, and poetry, Set the World on Fire highlights the flexibility, adaptability, and experimentation of black women leaders who demanded equal recognition and participation in global civil society.
Keisha N. Blain is an award-winning historian who writes on race, politics, and gender. She obtained a PhD in History from Princeton University and currently teaches history at the University of Pittsburgh. She is the author of Set the World on Fire: Black Nationalist Women and the Global Struggle for Freedom (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2018) and co-editor of Charleston Syllabus: Readings on Race, Racism and Racial Violence (University of Georgia Press, 2016). Her work has been published in several academic journals such as the Journal of Social History and Souls; and popular outlets including the Huffington Post, The Washington Post, and The Feminist Wire. She is the president of the African American Intellectual History Society (AAIHS) and senior editor of its popular blog, Black Perspectives.
Thomas J. Sugrue is Professor of Social and Cultural Analysis and History, the founding Director of the Collaborative on Global Urbanism, and the Director of the Program in American Studies at New York University. The author of four books and editor of three others, he contributes to the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, the London Review of Books, The New Yorker, The Nation, and Salon. He is a frequent commentator on modern American history, politics, civil rights, and urban policy. Sugrue has given over 350 public lectures throughout the United States, as well as in Europe, South America, the Middle East, and Asia.

Join us as she reads a piece of her new book Unapologetic and discusses her struggles and inspirations with organizer, educator and curator Mariame Kaba.
Unapologetic challenges all of us engaged in the social justice struggle to make the movement for Black liberation more radical, more queer, and more feminist. This book provides a vision for how social justice movements can become sharper and more effective through principled struggle, healing justice, and leadership development. It also offers a flexible model of what deeply effective organizing can be, anchored in the Chicago model of activism, which features long-term commitment, cultural sensitivity, creative strategizing, and multiple cross-group alliances. And Unapologetic provides a clear framework for activists committed to building transformative power, encouraging young people to see themselves as visionaries and leaders.
Crystal Fleming | How To Be Less Stupid About Race
Join us as Crystal M. Fleming discusses her new book with author and writer Morgan Jerkins, and organizer, educator and curator Mariame Kaba!
Crystal M. Fleming, PhD, is a writer and sociologist who researches racism in the United States and abroad. She earned degrees from Wellesley College and Harvard University and is associate professor of sociology and Africana studies at Stony Brook University. Fleming writes about race, sexuality, and politics for publications including The Root, Black Agenda Report, Vox, and Everyday Feminism, and she has tens of thousands of followers on social media. She is the author of Resurrecting Slavery: Racial Legacies and White Supremacy in France.
How to Be Less Stupid About Race is your essential guide to breaking through the half-truths and ridiculous misconceptions that have thoroughly corrupted the way race is represented in the classroom, pop culture, media, and politics. Centuries after our nation was founded on genocide, settler colonialism, and slavery, many Americans are kinda-sorta-maybe waking up to the reality that our racial politics are (still) garbage. But in the midst of this reckoning, widespread denial and misunderstandings about race persist, even as white supremacy and racial injustice are more visible than ever before.
Combining no-holds-barred social critique, humorous personal anecdotes, and analysis of the latest interdisciplinary scholarship on systemic racism, sociologist Crystal M. Fleming provides a fresh, accessible, and irreverent take on everything that's wrong with our "national conversation about race." Drawing upon critical race theory, as well as her own experiences as a queer black millennial college professor and researcher, Fleming unveils how systemic racism exposes us all to racial ignorance—and provides a road map for transforming our knowledge into concrete social change.

Following in the footsteps of classic feminist manifestos like The Feminine Mystique and Our Bodies, Ourselves, Rage Becomes Her is an eye-opening book for the twenty-first century woman: an engaging, accessible credo offering us the tools to re-understand our anger and harness its power to create lasting positive change.
Contrary to the rhetoric of popular "self-help" and an entire lifetime of being told otherwise, our rage is one of the most important resources we have, our sharpest tool against both personal and political oppression. We've been told for so long to bottle up our anger, letting it corrode our bodies and minds in ways we don't even realize. Yet our anger is a vital instrument, our radar for injustice and a catalyst for change. On the flip side, the societal and cultural belittlement of our anger is a cunning way of limiting and controlling our power.
We are so often told to resist our rage or punished for justifiably expressing it, yet how many remarkable achievements in this world would never have gotten off the ground without the kernel of anger that fueled them? Rage Becomes Her makes the case that anger is not what gets in our way, it is our way, sparking a new understanding of one of our core emotions that will give women a liberating sense of why their anger matters and connect them to an entire universe of women no longer interested in making nice at all costs.

Sonia Sotomayor on Turning Pages: My Life Story
Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor talks with PBS Books co-host Rich Fahle about here books, My Life Story and The Beloved World of Sonia Sotomayor at the 2018 National Book Festival.
(My Life Story)
Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor tells her own story for young readers for the very first time!
As the first Latina Supreme Court Justice, Sonia Sotomayor has inspired young people around the world to reach for their dreams. But what inspired her? For young Sonia, the answer was books! They were her mirrors, her maps, her friends, and her teachers. They helped her to connect with her family in New York and in Puerto Rico, to deal with her diabetes diagnosis, to cope with her father's death, to uncover the secrets of the world, and to dream of a future for herself in which anything was possible.
In Turning Pages, Justice Sotomayor shares that love of books with a new generation of readers, and inspires them to read and puzzle and dream for themselves. Accompanied by Lulu Delacre's vibrant art, this story of the Justice's life shows readers that the world is full of promise and possibility–all they need to do is turn the page.
(The Beloved World of Sonia Sotomayor)
Sonia Sotomayor, the first Hispanic and third woman appointed to the Supreme Court of the United States, was a young girl when she dared to dream big. Her dream? To become a lawyer and a judge.
As Justice Sotomayor explains, "When I was a child my family was poor and we knew no lawyers or judges and none lived in our neighborhood. I knew nothing about the Supreme Court and how much its work in reinterpreting the Constitution and the laws of the United States affected peoples' lives. You cannot dream of becoming something you don't even know about. That has been the most important lesson of my life. You have to learn to dream big dreams."
Sonia did not let the hardships of her background—which included growing up in the rough housing projects of New York City's South Bronx, dealing with juvenile diabetes, coping with parents who argued and fought personal demons, and worrying about money—stand in her way. Always, she believed in herself. Her determination, along with guidance from generous mentors and the unwavering love of her extended Puerto Rican family, propelled her ever forward.
How to Abolish the Police State
With Yasmina Price, David Correia, Tyler Wall, Alex Vitale, and tag. At Verso Books in Brooklyn, on May 31, 2018.
Co-sponsored by the NYC DSA Racial Justice Working Group.
What tools and language do we need to arm activists with in the struggle to dismantle the police state? How can we connect the struggles against police violence with the legacy of US colonial oppression and the militarization of borders? How can we link current policing practices as tools of social control to their racist origins?
Join panelists Yasmina Price, David Correia, Tyler Wall, Alex Vitale, and tag for an in-depth discussion on the origins of modern policing, how the language of policing reinforces oppressive structures, and strategies for working toward police and prison abolition. We need to move beyond the limits of reform, in language and policy, to work across movements toward a society free from police violence and from police entirely.
YASMINA PRICE is a Brooklyn-based organizer committed to the development of robust networks of leftists from the African diaspora and abolishing prisons, police and all oppressive structures. Growing up in Niger, France, and Italy, she is dedicated to working towards to dismantling the international mechanisms of racism, imperialism and colonialism.

Walter Rodney's Russian Revolution
With Robin D.G. Kelley, Vijay Prashad, and Christina Heatherton. At Verso Books in Brooklyn, May 24, 2018.
In his short life, Guyanese intellectual Walter Rodney emerged as one of the foremost thinkers and activists of the anti colonial revolution, leading movements in North America, Africa, and the Caribbean, Wherever he was, Rodney was a lighting rod for working-class Black Power organizing. His deportation sparked Jamaica's Rodney Riots in 1968, and his scholarship trained a generation how to approach politics on an international scale. In 1980, shortly after founding the Working People's Alliance in Guyana, the thirty-eight-year-old Rodney was assassinated.
Walter Rodney's "The Russian Revolution" collects surviving texts from a series of lectures he delivered at the University of Dar Es Salaam, an intellectual hub of the independent Third World. It had been his intention to work these into a book, a goal completed posthumously with the editorial aid of Robin D.G. Kelley and Jesse Benjamin. Moving across the historiography of the long Russian Revolution with clarity and insight, Rodney transcends the ideological fault lines of the Cold War. Surveying a board range of subjects—the Narodniks, social democracy, the October Revolution, civil war, and the challenges of Stalinism–Rodney articulates a distinct viewpoint from the Third World, one that grounds revolutionary theory and history with the people in motion.
Karl Ove Knausgaard: The Waterstones Interview
With the arrival of the final book in his six-volume autobiographical novel series, My Struggle, it was time to sit down and have a proper chat with Karl Ove Knausgaard about The End, its very beginnings, and the crucial question after all the fallout and recriminations: was it worth it?

How Democracies Die
Is our democracy in danger? Harvard professor Steven Levitsky, argues that America is not immune from the authoritarian slide that has caused democracies in Europe and Latin America to collapse. Democracy no longer ends with a bang—in a revolution or military coup—but with a whimper: the slow, steady weakening of critical institutions, such as the judiciary and the press, and the gradual erosion of long-standing political norms. Drawing on decades of research and a wide range of historical and global examples, from 1930s Europe and contemporary Venezuela to the American South during Jim Crow, Levitsky reveals the dangers facing our democracy—and how it can survive.
This program recognizes the generous support of the Robert R. McCormick Foundation to the Chicago Humanities Festival.

Is South Dakota's Pheasant Boom Headed for a Bust?
MITCHELL, S.D. (AP) - A wildlife biologist says that South Dakota's pheasant boom could go the way of the Black Hills gold rush of 1870s - as in, it might disappear.
Pheasants Forever farm bill biologist Mike Blaalid says that the bust is tied to there being less land in the Conservation Reserve Program. The Mitchell Daily Republic reports that there was more than 1.55 million acres of CRP in the state in 2007. To date, that number has fallen by nearly 600,000 acres.
In about the same time, the state Department of Game, Fish and Parks reports that the pheasant population has dropped by nearly half.
Blaalid wants Congress to pass a new farm bill and for CRP rates to stay competitive to encourage farmers to take part in the program.

Well,anyway, the first half of January had me rummaging through the pages of magazines,pamphlets and brochures looking out for different colors .I made a color wheel with those...
I used Petal stitch for those big flowers,filled up with stem stitch and french knots in the center.The small flowers are done with blanket stitch and fly stitch .Those were inspired by TAST. But here the stitches are not important;we're talking about colors,aren't we? Let me tell you the categories.There are three combos here-warm,cool and mixed.
The red petal flower is warm,the purple and yellow petal flower is mixed and the purple petal flower is cool. Though I like all the combos, I think my color values are warm and mixed . I'll never go for that purple, blue,green combo unless Iam forced,like in this case :)
What about you? Have you given a thought about your color values?
A few more exercises are to be completed; once that is done, I'll show you another set of color combinations.
Till then,
Love,luck and sunshine,

virotype BTV pan/8 RT-PCR Kit
Detection of all 27 known bluetongue virus serotypes, plus separate detection of the European BTV serotype 8 (BTV-8)
The virotype BTV pan/8 RT-PCR Kit allows the safe detection of RNA from bluetongue virus (BTV) in samples from cattle, sheep, and goats. The kit contains all of the reagents for multiplex real-time RT-PCR in a single, ready-to-use reaction mix. It can be used with pools of up to 10 individual samples of blood and with tissue samples from the spleen and lymph nodes.
The virotype BTV pan/8 RT-PCR Kit is for veterinary use only.
In Germany: Licensed in accordance with § 17c of the German Law on Animal Diseases. MA No.: FLI-B 539
In Switzerland: Licensed by the Federal Food Safety and Veterinary Office (FSVO)
A validation study of 338 blood samples, with known BTV status (174 positive and 164 negative; kindly provided by state laboratories), was tested with the virotype BTV pan/8 RT-PCR Kit. In this study, all positive samples tested positive and all negative samples tested negative, providing a diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of 100%. In addition, a titration series was performed with ten-fold dilutions from 107 to 1 copy/well of BTV RNA. The results demonstrate a high correlation (99%) between the number of copies and the amount of amplification product in the range from 107 to 100 copies/well, and positive detection of the virus down to 1 copy/well (see the figure Sensitive detection of BTV RNA). A comparative study of the virotype BTV pan/8 and the Pan-BTV-S5 RT-PCR (established in-house National Reference Laboratory [NRL] method) was carried out using RNA samples of 24 BTV serotypes (RNA kindly provided by the NRL, Friedrich-Loeffler-Institute). The virotype BTV pan/8 demonstrated a greater sensitivity for detection of BTV (see the table Detection of 24 BTV serotypes).
Detection of 24 BTV serotypes
In this study, RNA samples of 24 BTV serotypes were tested. A direct comparison between the virotype BTV pan/8 RT-PCR Kit and the in-house Pan-BTV-S5 RT-PCR method was carried out. The data illustrates both the detection of all 24 BTV serotypes and the relative greater sensitivity with the virotype BTV pan/8 RT-PCR Kit.
This is a real-time RT-PCR kit for the detection of RNA from bluetongue virus, the causative agent of the highly infectious bluetongue disease, which mainly affects cattle, sheep, and goats.
RT-PCR is based on the amplification of specific regions of the pathogen genome. It is a sensitive and specific tool for pathogen detection.
Real-time RT-PCR involves the reverse transcription of viral RNA and subsequent amplification of the cDNA by PCR. The amplified product is detected using fluorescent dyes. These are usually linked to oligonucleotide probes that bind specifically to the amplified product. Monitoring the fluorescence intensities during the PCR run (i.e., in real time) allows the detection of the accumulating product without the need to re-open the reaction tubes afterward.
The virotype BTV pan/8 RT-PCR Kit uses three specific primer/probe combinations: one for the RNA of the 24 BTV serotypes known at time of development, one for BTV-8 RNA, and one for the control RNA.
The kit contains a ready-to-use PCR mix and an enzyme mix with all of the necessary reagents for the detection of BTV RNA and the required positive and negative controls. With this kit, both reverse transcription and PCR are performed in one reaction tube, reducing the risk of contamination.
RNA is extracted from the sample material (blood or tissue) using a suitable sample preparation kit. The extracted RNA is used for the RT-PCR, which is run on a thermal cycler.
The virotype BTV pan/8 RT-PCR Kit is for detection of RNA from bluetongue virus (BTV) in samples of from cattle, sheep, and goats.

Hammys (my attic squirrel) house adventure is over. Thankfully, he did not die in the house. He actually made his way into the basement last week (not sure how, but it is a 60+ year old house). I found out about his relocation the hard way, when I discovered things knocked over; chewed up; and/or pooped on down there.Since the majority of electrical and gas connections are in the basement, I bit the bullet and purchased an animal trap. Within 24 hours, his ass was caged. I took him for a 20 minute drive Saturday morning, and let him loose at a forest preserve. Adios, asshole.

He was taking college final exams two weeks ago, but Friday, Patrick Cantlay shot a course-record 60 on his way to taking the clubhouse lead at the Travelers Championship.
The UCLA sophomore shot eight birdies and an eagle to get to the mark, breaking the previous record of 61 held by several professional golfers, including former champion Phil Mickelson.
"It was a good round and I played really well and nothing bad happened," Cantlay said. "I'm really proud of it, but I've got a couple of more rounds to play."
Cantlay, who has retained his amateur status, had to play 36 holes Friday because his start Thursday was washed out by rain. He didn't finish round two until about 7:30 p.m. Friday.
After the eagle on the par-5 13th hole, Cantlay birdied 14, then made a 7-foot put for birdie on 17. His drive on 18 found the center of the fairway, and from 152 yards, he hit an 8-iron to 2 feet. He holed the putt for the record-breaking 60.
He becomes the first amateur in history to shoot a 60 in a PGA Tour event, and only the 24th player to ever shoot that score on tour.
Cantlay was given a sponsor's exemption to enter the tournament after finishing tied for 21st at the U.S. Open last week.
He will have to wait until late in the day on Saturday to begin his third round. Nearly half the field will have to finish round two Saturday morning, after Thursday's bad weather pushed much of the first round to Friday.
Five golfers are four shots back of Cantlay. Defending champion Bubba Watson is eight shots off the lead.

New Study Reveals Stressed-Out Men Like Heavy Women
For all of you guys who like big butts and you don't know why, new research suggests that you are probably just stressed out.
Recent study findings indicate that men in the clutches of stress are more likely to find overweight and obese women attractive than guys basking in the complacent world of no worries land.
Apparently, there is something to all of this nonsense, as the new study is said to comply with previous research, which shows that when resources are scarce, people prefer the company of heavier partners.
The study, which was conducted by psychologist Viren Swami of the University of Westminster and Martin Tovee of Newcastle University, was comprised of 81 men who were randomly assigned either a stressful situation, such as a job interview, or a relaxing condition, like waiting quietly in a room.
Afterwards, the men were asked to rate the attractiveness of various photos of women ranging from the size of a scrawny alley cat to morbidly obese.
What researchers found was that stressed-out men evaluated both heavier women and those of a normal weight in a more positive light than those men who did not experience any stress.
Researchers say the results of the study proves that stress impacts body size judgement, and they believe their data could help explain why beauty standards seem to vary from culture to culture.

''If the children cannot come to the school
for lack of transportation, then the school should
come to them, by boat''
One third of Bangladesh
floods annually during the monsoon season, but
extreme floods cover up to two thirds. Every
year, during the rainy season, monsoon winds
brings plenty of rainfall that causes its'
hundreds of rivers to swell and overflow onto
the land. Due to floods, thousands of schools
are forced to close and many children miss
school days.
Shidhulai Swanirvar Sangstha came up with a
creative solution 'floating school' to address
this issue and brought the school to the
students during the flooding. Also the
organization runs a fleet of boats acting as
libraries, adult education centers and solar
workshops. Boats themselves are outfitted with
solar panels that power computers, lights and
other equipment. But the boats bring more than
services to these cut-off areas - they bring
electricity. Shidhulai also runs floating
clinics that have doctors and paramedics.

Judge rules BISD election in November
Whether the Beaumont Independent School District Board of Trustees will be able to conduct a Nov. 5 election the way it has planned is now in the hands of the Texas 9th Court of Appeals, as a group of potential candidates for the trustee seats are petitioning the court to enforce a ruling made by the same judges in April of this year.
The 9th Court of Appeals had previously ruled that Marcelino Rodriguez, Donna Forgas, and Linda Gilmore be placed on the ballot as unopposed candidates for the BISD trustee seats in districts 1, 2, and 3 when BISD first called for a school board election slated for May 2013 utilizing a map dubbed 7b. BISD subsequently canceled the May election. Current BISD trustees serving districts 1, 2, and 3 (Terry Williams, Zenobia Bush and Woodrow Reece) contend their seats are not up for contest as the trustees' terms do not expire until 2015.
Just this past week, 172nd District Court Judge Donald Floyd ruled in favor of BISD assertions in the ongoing election battle.
"BISD made timely and diligent efforts to obtain preclearance but same was not received in time to have an election in May 2013," Floyd decided. "In accordance with the D.C. Court's order and oral instructions, BISD canceled the May 2013 election and rescheduled same for November 2013.
"The D.C. federal court ruled that it was 'appropriate' for BISD to reschedule the election for November 2013 and found that it was appropriate for BISD to begin the election process anew."
Floyd further asserted that any ruling granted in favor of Forgas, Rodriguez and Gilmore was now moot as "the writ presumed and addressed a May 2013 election, which did not occur." Since the April ruling, BISD has commissioned a new map 7i.
In addition, Floyd noted that the plaintiffs in the litigation against BISD "cannot demonstrate that BISD's conduct is illegal. Plaintiffs argue that state law states that BISD's election cannot be held in November of 2013. Though state law plainly requires BISD's election on a different date, it is now impossible to comply with the statute. The choices are to wait until the next election more than a year off or reschedule the election as soon as reasonably possible."
Therefore, the judge ruled, "The Court finds no evidence to support delaying the election any longer."
In closing, Floyd prayed for harmony in the BISD Board of Trustees election process, and an end to the court battles.
"But for obstructions to the election erected due to the disagreement concerning the election's lawfulness, BISD has retained its own election officials to administer the election," he wrote in his official findings. "Hopefully this Court opinion will resolve that issue and all affected agencies will begin to work harmoniously to ensure the election proceeds."
A briefing schedule in relation to the Court of Appeals filing of Sept. 25 was not available as of press time.
According to the plaintiff's attorneys, the Texas Election Code is on their side. However, as a working case filing for the Court of Appeals contends, "BISD took multiple actions to cancel and sweep away completely the election it ordered on Feb. 21, 2013," contrary to the state's election laws.
"BISD then on Aug. 15, 2013, ordered a wholesale different election to occur on Nov. 5, 2013, and according to its newly adopted – albeit illegal – election districts. These material, relevant facts are not in dispute.
"As a result of BISD's illegal conduct, it should come as little surprise that (plaintiffs) herein are being wrongfully denied their rights under the Texas Election Code."
"This is the end of the road," plaintiff attorney Mike Getz said. "The 9th Court of Appeals will be the final stop. I feel very comfortable with this going before that court, and I think this will be done on a very expedited basis.
"I think the court will rule the district had no legal right to order map 7i drawn; and I think they will order BISD to use map 7b that they voted on before all this happened."

Why Adversarial Hearings Are Important: Rulings Change When The Other Side Is Heard
from the let-them-be-heard deptWe already wrote about the judge's ruling saying that Chitika was not liable for running ads on a site that linked to some allegedly infringing material, but there was a separate point brought out by the case -- and by Eric Goldman's analysis, that I wanted to highlight. As we noted, in that case, a court said that Chitika shouldn't be liable, because it was unaware of the infringement. But, the thing is, this is the second ruling in this case. The original ruling, back in January was different. It ordered the ad networks Chitika and Clicksor to freeze all money for the site and stop serving ads. But all of that was done without Chitika's participation in the case. In other words, no adversarial hearing.
Once Chitika got involved, the ruling flipped almost entirely. Or, as Goldman summarizes:
But hold on a second. The court's January order was based on ex parte proceedings. Chitika subsequently showed up to contest the case, and surprise! The court reaches a different result after adversarial proceedings. Let's hear it for due process!!! YEAH!We hear all the time from defenders of ICE domain seizures and SOPA/PIPA that there is due process "because there's a judge involved." But that's not due process. If one of the key parties impacted by the lawsuit is not heard from it's not due process at all. True due process means you hear from those actually impacted. And, as we see in this case, it can make a pretty big difference.
Filed Under: adversarial hearings, due process, pipa, protect ip, sopa
Companies: chitika, clicksor, elsevier, john wiley

Well hello to you dear browser. Now I have your attention it would be rude if I didn't tell you a little about my literary feast. So, here is the thing: is it just me or does anyone else find that adulthood offers no refuge from the unexpected horrors, peculiar lack of physical coordination and sometimes unexplained nudity, that accompanied childhood and adolescence?
Does everybody struggle with the hazards that accompany, say, sitting elegantly on a bar stool; using chopsticks; pretending to understand the bank crisis; pedicures - surely it's plain wrong for a stranger to fondle your feet? Or is it just me?
I am proud to say I have a wealth of awkward experiences - from school days to life as an office temp - and here I offer my 18-year-old self (and I hope you too dear reader) some much needed caution and guidance on how to navigate life's rocky path.
Because frankly where is the manual? The much needed manual to life. Well, fret not, for this is my attempt at one and let's call it, because it's fun, a Miran-ual. I thank you.
Miranda Hart made her mark appearing in shows including Smack the Pony, Absolutely Fabulous and Not Going Out. But when her sitcom Miranda burst on to our screens in 2009, her popularity rocketed. Miranda has since been crowned the Queen of Comedy at the British Comedy Awards and the hit series Miranda has won two further comedy awards, two RTS Awards, and been nominated for four BAFTAs. Miranda is currently filming a drama for BBC based on the bestselling memoir Call the Midwife. The third series of Miranda will air in autumn 2012.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Shimon Peres both invoked the Bible over the past week when speaking about Israel's aspirations for and policies toward peace in the region.
In an address to Christian leaders on the even of the new year, Peres stated that Israel is scripturally obligated in both the Old Testament and the New Testament to seek peace.
Peres said Israel has sought peace, and that now it is up to her enemies to decide if they want to move forward, or continue fighting.
Netanyahu suggested that he already knew the answer to that riddle, and himself cited the book of Exodus as reason not to rush into an ill-fated peace agreement with the Palestinian Authority.
Netanyahu was hosting the revived prime minister's Bible Circle, first started by David Ben-Gurion, when he referred to the weekly Torah reading from the first chapter of Exodus as evidence that things in this region never change.
The first chapter of Exodus recalls the establishment of a new power in Egypt that "did not know Joseph" and subsequently mistreated the children of Israel.
"Just as it was then, so it is today," noted Netanyahu. "In Egypt, the regime has been replaced, in Syria the regime is falling, and this could also happen in the Palestinian Authority. Everyone knows that Hamas could take over the Palestinian Authority. It could happen after an agreement, it could happen before an agreement, like it happened in Gaza."

The Lonely, Miserable, Pathetic Wolf
By: Eternitys_Charm
The wind howled loudly outside my bedroom window. The sound reminded me of my brother's. The sound brought pain in my heart; I could hear them scolding me for being this head-over-heels for a girl who is madly in love with the enemy, for a girl that slipped away from my fingers, fallen head-over-heels over a girl I hadn't yet imprinted on.
I smashed my fist hard against the wall. I managed to break a whole in it. I scowled.
As if I had to imprint on someone just to know I was destined to with them. I knew I was meant to be with Bella. I had to be for Bella. She made me feel whole; she made me feel like I could do anything. I doubted that anyone else in the world would make me feel the way that Bella does every time I see her, every time I talk to her, every time I touch her. Then why haven't you imprinted on her yet? The voice in the back of my head mocked me.
Shut up! I responded.
You know it's true, Jacob. It continued. I knew I must've been insane by now; talking to my own thoughts. But as much as I wanted to deny the fact…I knew that my subconscious was right. I just couldn't face the fact that I had lost Bella. Pathetic, I told myself this time. I was being pathetic. Pathetic by moping over a girl, pathetic for giving my all to the girl and then having my feelings crushed and trampled on. Insolence!
"Jacob?" Billy called from the other side of my closed door. "Are you all right son? You're growling and I hear you slamming against the wall."
"I'm fine." I mumbled.
I wasn't fine. I wasn't anywhere near fine, fine was a million miles away from what I was feeling this very moment. The word that described me was…lonely, miserable, and pathetic.
Who caused all these emotions?
Bella. It whispered in my head.
I got up, trying to clear my head from my own betraying thoughts, but fell back down with a loud whimper. I landed on the floor hard, my head against the cold wall. Bella.
I pressed myself firmly against the wall, the coolness of it calming me, relaxing my strained mind.
This is how Bella must feel against Edward. The voice said once again. Betraying me; sending me into a spiral of hatred and sadness.
"She would feel a lot better against the heat." I mumbled to myself, trying to convince myself that I truly was the one for Bella, that I would be better than that leech.
I released my face from the wall and got up. The tiny room was making me go insane.
"I'm going out." I said passing by Billy, not bothering to explain any more.
"Sure." Billy said not bothering to interrogate me.
I opened the front door, immediately feeling much better when the night cool air touched my face. The chirping of the crickets and the full moon made it a peaceful night.
I walked slowly across the driveway, the gravel crunching beneath my feet, to the forest; the place I used to think.
Rain began to fall, I looked up; the clouds had managed to cover the beautiful moon. I sighed letting myself wander into the forest, not caring where I wound up.
I walked a couple hundred yards before I became sick of walking, changing into my wolf form, I began running.
How could she do this to me? How could she pick him instead of me? Where I could have given her everything, he can give her nothing. I am the better choice. Me. Me. Not him.
"That's what you want to think Jacob. I'm sorry to intrude, but I was nearby and heard you. Stop beating yourself up, Jake." Sam's voice came clearly into my head.
"I could have given her everything and more." I growled."Need you make him repeat?" Jared's voice came in. I didn't like it when they invaded my mind, but it was a way to resolve problems. "You think you could have given her everything Jake. But maybe he can give her more. Understand and respect her choice Jacob. Don't you want to see her happy?"
"Yes I do. But I could have made her happier. I could have given her a life." I said disgusted by Jared's accusation. "And since when are you so compassionate?"
"Kim speaks truth."
The thoughts of the pack disappeared and I knew I was alone again, to wander in my own thoughts and figure out the burden in me: Bella.
Let her be happy to whomever she wants, if she's happy with him then you should be too. I wanted to deny that fact too, but my own thoughts were right. If Bella was happy with…him then who am I to stop their relationship.
I love her. I want what's best for her. And if he's the best for her, then I'm going to have to deal with it.
I transformed back to my normal self, putting on boxers and pants I carried on the black of my wolf form.
There was a tree stump on the floor; I sunk into it, putting my face in my hands.
She'll be marrying him soon. She'll be one of them, and then she'll never return to me. She'll forget she ever met me and be with the family she wishes to be with. She'll never remember me again. She'll forget ever meeting me, because all I did was tear her up in two. She'll never love me again, and I'm just going to have to deal with that.
The moon showed itself from behind the dark clouds, the bright light shining on me like a sign, resignation.
I sighed, getting off the mossy stump.
Edward Cullen and Bella Swan, have a happy and great life.

So the max DP FP rate on a GTX280 is about 90 Gflops. Does anyone know the peak bandwidth of the new Firestream cards? I looked around and all I could find is that it uses GDDR3. The wikipedia entry says the max bandwidth of the 9250 is 63.5 GB/s. This is less than half the GTX280 (max at 140 GB/s, measured using stream like app at 115 GB/s). If it is true, the GTX280 may be better for memory bound codes. That is, if we can write efficient code for them and leave the whole problem on the GPU to avoid memory bandwidth issues across the bus.

Renault will bring its newest car, the Captur, to the Geneva Motor Show in March. After Peugeot gave us a jacked up 208 called 2008, this is just what Europe needed.
Since Nissan is in bed with the French, it's a bit of a surprise that they made a "compact, unaggressive and particularly user-friendly crossover" aimed right at the Juke's costumers. Built on the Clio hatchback's new platform, it will get three-cylinder turbocharged engines, and also a 1.5-litre diesel with 90 horses. Sounds weak, even for a normal-sized Clio, not to mention a fat one.
But since Renault is still going to build a new Alpine with the help of Caterham, I will stop complaining right now.

|First iteration
|8-10 March 2002
|Pawpet Live Experiences, Inc. (PLEx)
|The CARE Foundation
|Photos, videos, reports: Megaplex resources
Megaplex is a furry convention first held in March 2002 as Pawpet Megaplex. The latest edition, Megaplex XVII, was held August 3-5, 2018 in Orlando, Florida. The convention's slogan is Florida Sun, Furry Fun.
Megaplex's stated goal is to provide "a celebration of interactive arts and performance, with a primary focus on anthropomorphics and fantasy".[1] Programming has focused on fursuiting, puppetry, improvisation, and other types of performance.
Megaplex has featured musical performances by Toxic Audio, 4:2:Five, Matthew Ebel, Fox Amoore and Rhubarb the Bear, stage performances including musicals Julie Bunny Must Die! and Fosgate: Ferret Loan Officer, and out-of-fandom honored guests including Trace Beaulieu, Paul Zaloom and Noel MacNeal.
A variety of factors[2][3] had caused Megaplex's attendance to fluctuate in its first decade, though it has been steadily increasing since 2010. The 2018 event had 2,602 in attendance, the highest to date.
Megaplex XVII, was held August 3-5, 2018 at the Seaworld DoubleTree in Orlando, Florida. The theme of the convention was " The Furnesian Islands", and the guests of honor were Panda Paco and NIIC the Singing Dog

Pawpet Megaplex came into being as a replacement for Furry Spring Break, which was held in 2001. Furry Spring Break was unable to secure hotel space for a second convention in 2002, and folded. In its stead, Pawpet Live Experiences, Inc. was formed and on short notice held the first Pawpet Megaplex at the Ramada Resort and Convention Center in Orlando, FL. The convention supported the animal rescue C.A.R.E. Foundation, featuring a live animal presentation. The convention has continued to support the same charity each year.
The convention moved to the movie-themed Sheraton Studio City Resort for its second and third years, closer to Universal Studios Florida. In 2003 the convention had its first guest of honor, Susan Rankin, and first of many musical guests, a capella group Toxic Audio. In 2004 Megaplex officially dropped the "Pawpet" from the name. Megaplex 3 was the first year to make heavy use of the convention theme ("MP3", derived from the abbreviation of the convention name) with posters and hallway decor.
The convention upgraded to larger quarters at the Sheraton World Resort, right next door to the SeaWorld Orlando theme park, from 2005 to 2006, continuing to introduce new traditions such as a Saturday Night "Rocky Horror Picture Show" viewing complete with staff members as cast members.
Due to rising hotel costs in Orlando, Megaplex temporarily moved in 2007 and 2008 the Wyndham Jacksonville Riverfront in Jacksonville, Florida.
Returning to the Orlando area, Megaplex was held at the Worldgate Resort in Kissimmee, Florida from 2009 to 2012, a short distance from Walt Disney World's main gate. The convention was rescheduled from March to late July to achieve better costs and hotel rates, and to help space the event out from the growing FWA. The con expanded its meeting space to include a larger Dealer's Den, an Artist Alley, and lounge area dubbed "The Lair."
From 2013 to 2015 Megaplex returned to Orlando proper and expanded into larger meeting space at the Marriott Orlando Airport hotel. The convention has increased its focus on quality main events and immersive theming. At the end of Megaplex XIV it was announced that the convention would be moving in 2016 to the Embassy Suites - Lake Buena Vista South in Kissimmee to accommodate the convention's growth.
After only 1 year Megaplex had outgrown the Embassy Suites - Lake Buena Vista South and at closing ceremonies of Megaplex XV announced that it would be moving to the Seaworld DoubleTree in Orlando, FL for Megaplex XVI. Megaplex had previously been held at this property for Megaplex 4 and Megaplex 5 when it was the Sheraton World Resort.
Megaplex has introduced many ideas to augment the convention's programming and atmosphere:
- Pre-registered attendees can provide a personal avatar to appear on their convention badge.
- Megaplex was the first furry convention to introduce a convention fursuit mascot, Pounce the Panther, in 2008.
- Starting in 2012, Megaplex has created a commemorative poster celebrating each year's convention. One copy of the poster is offered for sale at the convention's charity auction.
- Collectible glassware is given to all attendees.[4]
- Megaplex offers high dollar member levels above supersponsors, Megasponsor and Gigasponsor. Both receive all the perks of a Supersponsor level, plus special unique gifts each year such as engraved pocketwatches.
- Game show concepts have been introduced such as "Fursuit Deal or Big Deal," partly mirroring Deal or No Deal, with fursuiters instead of models.
- The convention's main events have been streamed live online since 2005.
- An exclusive hospitality lounge with hot meals is provided to sponsor and higher level attendees.
- The convention has donated "con badge number 1" for the following year in the charity auction since 2010. This badge number is usually reserved for convention chairman. The auctioning of badge number 1 raised over $300 for charity in 2010.
- Hall prizes called "Achievements" are awarded to attendees who accomplish them at any point during the convention. Most achievements are typically kept secret until the time they are rewarded.
- Megaplex archives all of its past con books, artwork, badge imagery, photos and videos on-line, available for all individuals to view on its web site.
Staff and organization[edit]
Pawpet Live Experiences, Inc. (PLEx) is a class C for-profit corporation operating out of the State of Florida.[5]. PLEx, Inc. was incorporated in January 2002, a mere two months before putting on Pawpet Megaplex 1, and went the faster route of incorporating under the less stringent for-profit statutes. PLEx will be succeeded by Florida United Furry Fandom, Inc. (FLUFF), a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit [6], for the 2019 convention year.
PLEx, Inc.'s current president is Randy "Yappy" Fox, and the vice president is Erik "Hino" Johansen. The role of convention chairman is currently held by Erik "Hino" Johansen.
As of 2018 the Board members are:[7]
- Randy "Yappy" Fox - President
- Erik "Hino" Johansen - Vice President
- Kyle "Wolfpac" Bergeron - Treasurer
- Matthew "STiTcH" Pence - Secretary
- Paul "Scooby" Hahn
- Brian "Brill" Williams
- John "K.P." Cole, to be replaced by Blitz Wolfang
A listing of Megaplex staff and their roles, including former staff members, is available on the convention's website[8] and archives.[9]
Megaplex's mascot is Pounce the Panther, a Florida panther (an endangered subspecies of cougar).[10] Pounce was introduced as the Megaplex fursuit mascot, in 2008 at Megaplex 7, as Megapanther to match the comic book theme of that year's Megaplex. Pounce is seen at Megaplex in a costume that matches that year's theme.

Ford's 2013 NASCAR Fusion has yet to turn a wheel in anger on the NASCAR Sprint Cup circuit, but that's apparently not stopping the company from already facelifting the car.
Wait, a facelift? That's right. Although the above rendering looks almost identical to the original bodywork shown at the Fusion racer's unveiling in January, it does boast a few small revisions, which Ford designer Garen Nichoghosian says "adds more personality and detail to the car."
So, what's new? The biggest change lies with the grille itself: it's now actually a grille, or at the very least, a faithful replica of the grille used on the 2013 Fusion road car. Originally, the 2013 NASCAR Fusion was to use a flat, two-dimensional sticker that emulated the five-bar insert, but the car now boasts a three-dimensional element.
Other amendments alter the NASCAR Fusion's front sheetmetal. New character lines on the hood's outer edges echo those on the production Fusion, while the draw surrounding the faux headlamps and fog lamp assemblies are deeper, and closer to that of the road-going sedan.
The end result: a NASCAR racer that is even more closely patterned after a stock Fusion than before. But will race fans notice the extra detailing? Probably not, especially as cars whizz by at 150+ mph on a banked oval, but we'll know for sure come February, when the 2013 NASCAR Fusion makes its competition debut at the 2013 Daytona 500.

The Walking Dead continues to have some life to it.
Cable network AMC announced on Monday that in 2015 they will be launching a "companion series" to their wildly popular zombie drama, The Walking Dead. Details are scarce, but creator Robert Kirkman will serve as an executive producer along with Walking Dead executive producers Gale Anne Hurd and David Alpert.
"Building on the success of the most popular show on television for adults 18-49 is literally a no-brainer," said AMC prez Charlie Collier in a statement. "We look forward to working with Robert, Gale and Dave again as we develop an entirely new story and cast of characters. It's a big world and we can't wait to give fans another unforgettable view of the zombie apocalypse."
Added Kirkman: "After 10 years of writing the comic book series and being so close to the debut of our fourth, and in my opinion, best season of the TV series, I couldn't be more thrilled about getting the chance to create a new corner of The Walking Dead universe. The opportunity to make a show that isn't tethered by the events of the comic book, and is truly a blank page, has set my creativity racing."
AMC needs some new hits: the cable network is losing its critically acclaimed show Breaking Bad when the series ends in two weeks, and Mad Men is set to conclude at the end of next season. Between this announcement and the recent confirmation that they are going to move forward on a Breaking Bad spin-off based on the Saul Goodman character, it appears the network is increasingly looking to their most popular shows to keep them afloat.
Presumably, The Walking Dead spin-off will not, unlike the tentatively titled "Better Call Saul," be a comedy.
The Walking Dead returns for a fourth season on Sunday, October 13 on AMC.

Cyberchase Birthday Party
On a quest to make your kid's birthday party one that ranks in the top-10? You'll find everything you need to plan a CyberParty — including games, snacks, decorations and party favors featuring Hacker, Digit and the whole Cybersquad.
THE BIG DAY: You sent the birthday party invitations 2 to 4 weeks in advance. The decorations are in place, your food is prepared, the games and activities are ready and the guests are on their way! Make sure things run smoothly on your little one's big day with this suggested timeline and helpful tips.
Arrival Tip: Before guests arrive, make sure there is a designated space for coats and bags. It should be near the food buffet or game or craft station and far enough from the door so that kids (and parents) don't linger at drop-off time.
Goodbye Tip: Make sure to have extra coloring pages and craft materials around in case one or more of the parents are late picking up their kids. You can also do more activities like build a bunny copter or make a robot retriever.

Cowboys won't face Texans in preseason action
Scheduling conflicts to keep America's Team away from Houston
DANA POINT, Calif. – Dallas Cowboys fans in the Houston area are going to be disappointed during preseason because their favorite team will not be coming to Reliant Stadium to play the Texans.
The Texans and Cowboys have played a home-and-home preseason series. The Texans played at Texas Stadium in August, but the Cowboys won't be coming to Houston this year because of scheduling conflicts involving their new stadium in Arlington.
Because the Cowboys' new stadium is across the street from the Rangers Ballpark in Arlington and they share parking lots, the NFL has to schedule Cowboys games around Rangers games so they don't conflict.
The Texans were told the Cowboys weren't available to come to Houston during preseason because of scheduling conflicts involving their new stadium. The Texans haven't found out from the NFL what team will be playing at Reliant Stadium in place of the Cowboys.
"We're disappointed, but we certainly understand the situation," Texans owner Bob McNair said. "I enjoy playing the Cowboys, and I think they enjoy playing us. I'm sure we'll resume the series in the future."
Preseason schedules should be announced next week. The Texans are hosting New Orleans Saints and visiting Tampa Bay. The league has to schedule them another home and road game.

An E-mailer had some stuff to get off her chest…
No pun intended.
Take it away, Michelle….
my experience with the ghetto type
I wanted to share a incident I sadly got in to recently.
My boyfriend and I were at the grocery store, by the butcher counter just looking at the different selections. When These two women walked by talking amongst themselves. My boyfriend over heard their conversation which he found interesting, I'll say. They were saying that this particular grocery store "always over charges for everything!!". He then repeated what he heard, quietly to me his exact words were "that woman just said they overcharge for everything here"…He couldn't understand why they would be shopping in this store if they in fact did over-charge for everything (let me mention they had a cart full of items). There's a lot of other grocery stores in our city all within minutes of each other which includes one directly across the parking lot called Price Right, the kind of store with really cheap food with out the brand names, so why not just go there? Right?
That was that. We went about our business. He didn't say anything harmful or offensive about this woman. And he didn't even think he said it loud enough for anyone else to hear him anyway. BUT, one of them did.
So the woman that overheard him said quite loudly to her friend "He just told his girlfriend what I said, IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THAT, AM I NOT ALLOWED TO SAY THAT!" And then started the stare down. You could just feel those eyes burning a hole through you.
So, we know now that she overheard him talking about what he overheard, haha. But, not a big deal…let's just keep shopping. As we walk by them, they wont take their eyes off of us. As if they are trying to be intimidating. Which there is no need for. But, I could already see where this was heading. We head down an isle and that is when we get followed by one of the women. She's yelling at the top of her lungs at us (apparently because we didn't engage her) saying "OH YOU JUST WALK BY! I'LL F*CK YOUR SH*T UP, I'LL F*CK YOUR SH*T UP". We keep walking, there's no point in fueling this crazy woman. She keeps it up though. My boyfriend at this point says a few things to her, such as "turn around, you're annoying" which of course makes her have to fluff her feathers even more and says again that she'll fuck him up, but this time drags me in to it and says "and your girlfriend wont do anything about it". First off, because he overheard your conversation, thought it was a little silly and told me blood has to be shed? And you're going to threaten to beat up a man, because you're just so tough lady.
When she said that I turned around and said very calmly "You know, you're acting really ghetto right now and this is embarrassing". Her response "do you even know what ghetto is?!!!!" Yes, you. No need to explain, the whole store knew by now. She keeps firing off her words, hoping to set us off I'm sure.
My boyfriend and I just continue our shopping. Though I seriously just wanted to get the hell out of there already.
We check out, go to our car and load the groceries in the back. When what do you know, this woman is standing outside of the exit glaring at us. Enough already. We get in and just drive away.
About an hour later, we realize we forgot an item…so we head to a different grocery store (which is right down the street from us) to just grab the item quickly. What do you know? We run in to the same two women at this store.
Great, not this again. I had finally just calmed down. But now do I have to prepare for an attack or something?
Thankfully this encounter went better. All that was said from the loud mouth tough *ss was "see you at your next stop sweety".
What a crazy, crazy experience. I found myself just confused. Why would someone act like that over such? What was the need? Is this a western where you have to duke it out or else?
What is there to prove? Who can get arrested faster? I mean, was I really expected to fight this woman over the words that were exchanged between herself and my boyfriend? Did she really want him to fist fight her?
Ghetto. Ghetto. Ghetto.
And here's where I'll mention that these women were white! And I'm throwing that in because reading a lot of the comments on your blog, I have noticed that a lot of the people commenting like to jump on you and say you're racist and assume that you're speaking of one race. Without taking the time to think, obviously.
Well, that is all.
Thank you for your time,
Actually, that wasn't all…
and just to be clear
Despite my subject on the first email stating "my experience with the ghetto type" this is not my only. In my 26 years I've run in to, went to school with even had friends and friends of friends as a kid that fall in to this category. But this was just over the top for me at my age. I felt like I was in high school all over again.
Well, peanut gallery…you're welcome to weigh in.

A winner was selected from 71 designs submitted by 24 freelance designers.
The company and product is pretty technical but they want a user-friendly and modern look to the button.
The audience will be IT or network administrators setting up equipment so the image needs to be clean and essentially no-frills. However, because IT stuff is usually pretty ugly, I still want it to look a little bubbly and fun. Just fun within boundaries.
The button is made up of 6 hot spots (see attached image.) One hot spot for each:
- Pan left
- Pan right
- Pan up
- Pan down
- Zoom in
- Zoom out
No text can be on the image (although + and - are pretty standard in the industry for zoom in and zoom out.)
On the attached image, the arrows denote the left/right/up/down panning buttons and the middle zone is the zoom in/out. The overall form needs to stay about the same (4 arrows placed like in the image with a center divided into two parts) but the look and feel can vary as long as the "hot spots" are obvious to a user.
Remember, this is for IT/technical folks and is business-oriented so don't get overly fanciful or dreamy.

Little, Brown announces details of J.K. Rowling's first novel for adults. When Barry Fairweather dies unexpectedly in his early forties, the little town of Pagford is left in shock. Seemingly an English idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey, what lies behind the pretty façade is a town at war. Rich at war with poor, teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with their husbands, teachers at war with their pupils…Pagford is not what it first seems. And the empty seat left by Barry on the parish council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen. Who will triumph in an election fraught with passion, duplicity and unexpected revelations? Blackly comic, thought-provoking and constantly surprising, The Casual Vacancy is J.K. Rowling's first novel for adults.
Publication date 27th September 2012 (UK & US)

Always cleanse the skin with water prior to collagen application. Biologically active collagen peptides are better absorbed if the gel is delicately patted on moist skin, not rubbed in. The best and even most spectacular effects of na¬tive collagen are seen when applied immediately after peeling. It is strongly recommended that the collagen be applied to the face, neck and cleavage twice daily, in the morning and in the evening. Irritated or burned skin requires the application of as much collagen as can be absorbed. The first effects of the product are clearly felt as soon as several minutes after the application of the gel.
