I don't know whether to laugh or cry here....
I was delighted when the Irish Family History Foundation announced that it had revamped its Roots Ireland website (www.rootsireland.ie) recently, not only to provide better search terms but also to provide a discount for the records of multiple vital events in a family group.
Tonight I decided to do a search for children to my great great grandparents Edwin Graham and Florence Halliday of Belfast, who had previously married in 1881 in England. I already knew of most of the names of the children that they had, and the rough year of birth, identified either from census records or from the old index to the IFHF site. The records on the IFHF site for Antrim have been provided by the Ulster Historical Foundation, and many of them have previously been made available also on the UHF's own site at www.ancestryireland.com.
From the UHF site I had already obtained the dates of birth of two of the children - Alexander William Graham born 7 SEP 1889 and baptised two weeks later on the 19th; and Frederick Graham, born July 6th 1901 and baptised July 29th. In addition, from military records, I had the birth date of another brother, Gerald Graham on March 11th 1895.
A parent search on the IFHF's Roots Ireland site tonight returned ten children to the couple, including the three noted. I paid 20 Euros - what a bargain! - only to then discover with horror that the UHF supplied records on the site do not contain the same information that I had previously discovered on the UHF's own site.
So what is missing? Fairly fundamentally, would you believe that the date of birth is missing from these civil birth records from Belfast? The info on the Roots Ireland site is labelled "Date of baptism/Birth", but the date given in the three examples that I do already have dates for are not birth dates, but baptism dates. The real irritation is that the records are clearly labelled "Civil Birth Record" at the top.
Now maybe I am just being picky as a genealogist, but I call that a seriously fundamental error for any genealogical organisation to make. Why are the birth dates not being made available? They have clearly been transcribed by the UHF, where both birth and baptism dates are supplied. The following are screengrabs showing the difference in the info supplied - the first from the Roots Ireland site, the second as obtained previously from the UHF website:
Does this just apply to the IFHF records for Antrim - or is it more widespread for other counties?
I would strongly urge everyone using the site to check what you are finding. You may not be getting all the information that you think you are. I have emailed the IFHF and asked them to explain the discrepancy.

Roots Ireland - missing births

At 5 EUR/record with no more guiding information than a name, county and year, I instantly lost interest in using Roots Ireland's facility. Every name I put in there yields at least ten identical records for a single year (assuming that is correct), so I could

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) - Actor John Goodman says he's learned to be grateful for his blessings, rather than always striving for more.
Goodman was awarded an honorary doctorate degree of humane letters Sunday during at the convocation at Missouri State University in Springfield. He graduated from the school with a fine arts degree in 1975.
He says he originally went to Missouri State to play football but an injury led him to focus on drama. He says he owes his career to the school because its teachers helped him find and pursue his passion.
Goodman, a St. Louis native who has starred in stage, television and film roles, told the students to appreciate small blessings, because "the most important thing you will do in your life is take your next breath."

Of course women shouldn't drink when they're pregnant — everyone knows that, right?
Well, some researchers say it might not be so bad.
Researchers in Denmark recently released a study saying one drink — and even up to moderate drinking (five to eight drinks a week) — might not do as much harm as we thought. (That's according to a report from NPR.)
The researchers surveyed 1,600 pregnant women on their drinking habits, followed the development of their now 5-year-olds — and found no evidence to support that light to moderate drinking was harmful to the children's development. (At the time of the study, Denmark hadn't established that drinking while pregnant was a health risk.)
Studies about Fetal Alcohol Syndrome have shown that drinking while pregnant can lead to facial abnormalities, damage to the central nervous system, and cognitive impairments, to name a few. Other studies haven't determined what amount of alcohol is acceptable to drink while pregnant, so doctors have always cautiously told pregnant women not to drink at all.
Of course, severe questioning to the Denmark study is still warranted: How the researchers chose and found their participants, and whether toddler age is too early to tell if there's been cognitive damage are both legitimate questions that come to mind right off the bat.
For me, it is much more difficult to determine a "light to moderate" drinking habit than to lay off completely. In the end, the real question mothers should be asking themselves is whether drinking is worth the risk.

Hitchcock star struggled with Anthony Perkins research
Actor JAMES D'ARCY struggled to perfect his portrayal of U.S. star ANTHONY PERKINS in new movie HITCHCOCK because the only interviews he could find were conducted in French.
D'Arcy bears a striking resemblance to Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho star, but he found it difficult to nail the actor's offscreen persona and speaking tones.
He tells BlogTalkRadio.com, "I read a biography, Split Image, about him, which was very helpful and I watched some of his older films. I went on YouTube and I found some interviews he'd done from the late '50s which were a mixed bag in truth because most of them were done in French!
"His vocal quality was completely different. My French is OK but I needed to hear him speak in his own accent, because he's got a very specific slightly awkward delivery.
"I watched the scene quite a lot in Psycho, where he and (co-star) Janet Leigh have a lengthy conversation and that helped me find the way that he speaks - he breaks sentences up in an odd way. It was a fun thing to try and do."

Scott Kazmir holds Reds to 1 run in 7 innings; Indians score 7 in 4th in 7-1 win
CLEVELAND – The Cleveland Indians made certain one inning decided Thursday night's game against Cincinnati.
The Indians, held in check for three innings by Reds starter Homer Bailey, scored seven runs with two outs in the fourth and rolled to a 7-1 win over Cincinnati.
The rally featured six straight run-scoring hits and supported a strong outing by Scott Kazmir, who allowed one run in seven innings.
"That was really fun to watch," Indians manager Terry Francona said of the big inning that gave the Indians a split of the annual Ohio Cup interleague series.
Reds manager Dusty Baker understandably had a different point of view.
"It's been a long time since I've seen a team get six straight two-out hits," he said. "I'm not sure what the Indians figured out there, but whatever it was, it worked."
The Reds won in Cincinnati on Monday and Tuesday before the Indians took both games when the series shifted to Cleveland. Cincinnati has lost nine in a row at Progressive Field and haven't won in Cleveland since May 22, 2010.
Run-scoring singles by Michael Brantley and Yan Gomes, an RBI double by Ryan Raburn, a two-run double by Michael Bourn and an RBI single by Jason Kipnis chased Bailey in the fourth. Asdrubal Cabrera added a run-scoring double off Alfredo Simon.
"Brantley opened the doors for us with that two-out knock and everybody else tried to follow suit," Raburn said. "Sometimes that doesn't work but tonight it did."
The Indians carried a five-game losing streak, in which they scored 14 runs, into the series. Cleveland had also dropped seven of eight, but the bats woke up when the Reds hit town. Cleveland homered twice Wednesday, including a game-clinching three-run homer by Jason Giambi, and fell one run off their biggest inning of the season Thursday.
"That was impressive," Francona said. "We had a tough time breaking through. Bailey's got good stuff. We kept extending the inning."
Jay Bruce drove in Cincinnati's only run with an RBI single in the sixth. Kazmir (3-2) recorded his longest outing in the majors in three years. The left-hander dodged a bases-loaded jam in the third when he got Joey Votto, who came into the game batting .417 in May, to bounce into an inning-ending double play.
"That was huge," Kazmir said. "He's a very good hitter. I knew I had to be careful. That's the bottom line."
Bailey (3-4) retired the first seven hitters before Gomes reached on an infield hit in the third. The bottom fell out for the right-hander, who lasted 3 2-3 innings for his shortest outing of the season, in the fourth.
Cabrera was hit by a pitch and took second on Carlos Santana's one-out single. After Mark Reynolds struck out, Brantley, who was in a 1-for-15 skid, singled sharply through the left side to score Cabrera. Gomes followed by lining a single to left, scoring Santana. Raburn's double to left scored Brantley before Bourn drove a double into the left-field corner for two more runs and a 5-0 lead.
Kipnis, who was in a 4-for-34 slump, singled to right to score Bourn and finish Bailey. Cabrera doubled to right against Simon.
Brantley and Kipnis weren't the only Cleveland hitters to break out of slumps in the inning. Santana came into the game batting .204 in May while Raburn was in a 3-for-24 skid.
Bailey, who threw 45 pitches in the fourth, allowed seven runs — tying his season high.
Kazmir, a two-time All-Star with Tampa Bay, had his career sidetracked by arm problems that began in 2009. He was traded to the Angels that season but was 9-15 in 2010 and appeared in only one game the following year before being released. The Indians signed him to a minor-league contract in January after he pitched in an independent league last season.
Kazmir, who was 0-1 and allowed 11 earned runs in 13 innings in his past three starts, won for the first time since May 9.
Votto went 0-for-4, snapping his career-long 18-game road hitting streak.
NOTES: Raburn left the game in the fifth with cramping in his lower legs. He's listed day to day. ... The Reds begin a three-game series Friday in Pittsburgh. RHP Johnny Cueto (2-0) takes on Pirates LHP Wandy Rodriguez (6-2). ... Votto is the only Cincinnati player to appear in all 54 games this season. ... The Indians continue their five-game homestand Friday against Tampa Bay. RHP Corey Kluber (3-3) faces Rays righty Alex Cobb (6-2) in the opener of the three-game set. ... Indians RHP Justin Masterson, who defeated the Reds on Wednesday, is 4-0 with a 0.36 ERA in his past 25 innings at Progressive Field. ... Cleveland 1B Nick Swisher was honored by the FBI Citizens Academy Foundation before the game. Swisher donated $25,000 to the organization in support of the FBI's Child ID Kit program.

Read the original story in the Vanguard.
Perhaps PSU's motto should be amended to "Let knowledge and sustainability serve the city."
PSU has been selected as a finalist for Second Nature's prestigious National Climate Leadership Award, in the Doctorate Granting University category. Simply being recognized is a huge honor and further demonstrates PSU's commitment to sustainability.
"PSU is a leader among leaders," said Sarah Brylinsky, a program associate with Second Nature.
Second Nature was founded in 1993 and is part of the American College and University President's Climate Commitment. It is based in Boston, Mass.
According to Second Nature's website, this award highlights campus innovation and climate leadership to transition society to a clean, just and sustainable future.
This year, Second Nature received the highest number of applications ever from universities across the country, despite being limited to nominations by invitation only.
"Although there is no monetary compensation, this is a very prestigious award for recognizing sustainability among higher institutions," Brylinsky said.
Brylinsky explained, to determine a victor, finalists will be evaluated by a panel at Second Nature. Winners will be announced in the spring.
In conjunction with this award, there will be a people's choice component. Finalists will have the opportunity to create a short video to be featured on PlanetForward.org. The public can vote for their favorite videos during the month of April, which also happens to be Earth Month.
"These videos serve as a great form of publicity, further highlighting university achievements in sustainability," Bylinsky said.
More information about the awards and Second Nature can be found at secondnature.org.

Home Buying Program
The purchase of a home is one of the most significant and exciting decisions that most people make in their lives. The American Dream has long been associated with the right to own your home!
A Great Time to Buy
If you are looking to purchase a home, market conditions are ideal. Economic experts consider this to be a fantastic time to purchase a home. Many people who have not been able to afford to purchase a home, now find themselves in a position where home prices are within their reach. In many cases, it is now less expensive to own a home than to rent.
Getting Started
It is common for prospective home buyers to start their home buying process with some basic research. We encourage you to use the internet to start looking at homes that are currently for sale. We may be a bit biased, but we think you will find our property search tools to be the ideal place to start looking at homes and to start identifying communities and property styles that may be of interest to you.
Sign Up For Home Alerts
Look for homes of interest virtually anywhere in the Northern California and Nevada. Once you have decided on the general area and price range that meets your desires, we invite you to register for our Home Alerts Program which will allow you to save your property search criteria, save and review specific homes, and receive automated email alerts when new properties come on the market.
As you begin the home buying process, it is helpful to have the assistance of a real estate professional to serve as your personal resource. We look forward to helping you when you are ready.
The Home Buying Process
The home buying process involves the following significant steps.
Financing Your Home Purchase
Mortgage Financing is an integral part of the home ownership experience, as most home buyers require financing in order to purchase their home. There are a wide variety of financing options that are available to prospective home buyers. Our home financing resources can help you to navigate the financing options that may be available for you.
Whatever your level of home buying experience, we have the tools and information you need to start the process with confidence.
A mortgage is a loan that is secured by real estate. Because real estate tends to sustain its value, lenders are willing to lend significant amounts of money for the purchase of a home - - often times requiring the borrower to contribute only a small percentage of the total cost of the property. In the event that the borrower is unable to repay the loan, the lender would have the ability to take over the ownership of that property.
Your Mortgage Provider
Your mortgage provider plays a significant role in the success of your home purchase. To start the pre-qualification process we invite you to visit CMG Financial, a preferred provider.
We encourage you to contact us to guide you through your next home buying experience. You'll be happy you did!

I took a leap of faith and ordered these for my 2015 Jet 9 Carbon. The set cost me ~$540 shipped with Powerway M32 hubs. The wheels shipped quickly (next day) and arrived super fast (within 8 days of order). They setup tubeless in less than 30 minutes with Stan's rim tape and sealant, Maxxis Ardent 2.25 in the rear, High Roller II 2.3 in the front. Now to my riding impressions.
These wheels are SUPER stiff, super light and very durable. I've thrown them onto the truing stand every two weeks for the past 2 months and no issues with spoke elongation or nipple settling. I crushed all my times up and down just about everywhere I ride, but I had to reduce my fork and shock pressure because the stiffness made the ride so harsh. I also tried reducing the tire pressure and this worked.. to a point.. which is my next point.
The rim bead cracked mid-ride when I hit a sharp rock in the middle of the trail, which means I was probably running them too low. I had never bottomed out at any pressure with these before, and the rock garden I was traversing I had been through many times, so I guess I was just unlucky this time. I immediately emailed customer support and sent them pictures of the impact, and they shipped me a brand new rim the next day! Their only advice: "This wheel is super light XC wheels, so please do not use them on poor road conditions. thanks for your support."
I bought these for mountain biking, and the mountains around here are a little bit rocky.. did I miss something when I bought these? I don't think so, because they have been bombproof until I was an idiot and ran them too low. I would rate these an A+ for the price and customer service and recommend them to anybody looking for a great set of wheels at a great price.
The only caveat, as with any carbon rim, don't run <20psi. Also make sure you don't over-torque the cassette into place if you run an XD driver, the endcaps protrude a lot and the freewheel tool does not make adequate overlap with the splines enough and you will strip them out, thus requiring a new cassette.

Cryptic reports have surfaced that Porsche is going to unveil a "new, small sports car" later this month at the LA Auto Show.
But what is it? A sub-Boxster? A small SUV? A V8 coupe? No way doofus! It's the new Cayman, you silly goose!
How do we know? Consider it a pretty great hunch.
Porsche has shelved plans for a smaller, sub-Boxster sports car and the Macan small SUV is not ready to make its debut yet. A production version of the Panamera Sport Turismo is still a ways off and a 928-esque Panamera Coupe isn't coming anytime soon. Their other small sports car, the Boxster has been out for nearly a year, so an all new version of that wouldn't make any sense at all.
Add in the fact that the 911, Cayenne, and Panamera are all relatively new, and you're left with a simple answer: Brandidily new Cayman.
And if it looks and drives anything like the new Boxster, Porsche is going to have one hell of a good car on its hands... and one less reason for people to buy a 911.

London witnesses four deaths in bizarre new year stabbings
LONDON, U.K. - In a bizarre night of crime, four young men were killed in a string of knife attacks, on the New Year's Eve night.
The Scotland Yard confirmed the incidents and said that the four male victims were aged between 17 and 20 and died in separate stabbing incidents.
The Metropolitan police said that the knife attacks took place in the span of 15 hours in locations around the capital, in north, east and south London.
Three of the killings took place on New Year's Eve and a fourth in the early hours of New Year's Day and the Metropolitan police said that none were being treated as linked.
According to the police, the first attack was recorded at 11.30 am on December 31 when an 18-year-old man was stabbed in Enfield.
The victim died in the hospital the same evening.
Then, at about 7.30pm, a 20-year-old man was fatally stabbed in West Ham, and at around 10.40pm a 17-year-old boy was stabbed to death in Tulse Hill.
The fourth stabbing took place at around 2.30am on January 1, when a 20-year-old man was attacked in Old Street, east London.
A second male, aged in his 20s, was taken to hospital with critical stab injuries.
The Scotland Yard confirmed that the three deaths on Sunday brings the total number of fatal stabbings in 2017 to 80.
Commenting on the incidents, Commander Neil Jerome, of the Met's territorial policing command, said, "It is heartbreaking that, at a time when so many of us are contemplating what lies ahead in 2018, four families are dealing with the grief of losing a loved one to senseless violence and the callous use of knives as lethal weapons."
In Enfield, five men were arrested in connection with the murder and there have been no arrests in the other cases.
The Mayor of London Sadiq Khan said he will "work tirelessly in 2018 and beyond to stamp out this scourge."
Since he assumed office as mayor of London in May 2016, Khan has launched a high-profile "London needs you alive" campaign and knife crime strategy.
Commenting on the spate of attacks, Khan said, "My thoughts today are with the families of four young men who have tragically been killed in four unrelated stabbings in our city last night. The police have today assured me that everything is being done to bring to justice those responsible for these appalling acts of violence. I urge anyone with information to come forward."
He added, "The police were out in force helping people enjoy our city's fantastic celebrations last night, and I thank them. However, it is horrific that knife crime has claimed another four young lives as the New Year begins. We will work tirelessly in 2018 and beyond to stamp out this scourge. I want to be absolutely clear - if you use a knife the full force of the law will be brought down on you. You will be caught and prosecuted."


text: JoJo Ackermann: Fear of a Flash Planet By JoJo Ackermann About six months ago, three guys in their early 20s walked into the shop around opening time with the request to have a heart and the word "Mom" tattooed on their asses. Honestly, I thought they were just screwing around but after a few laughs and some more questions, I realized these dudes were serious about getting it done... I walked over to a section of flash we had on the wall and pointed to the Sailor Jerry design that fit their description and told them, "Here ya go." Two of the three guys were good-to-go and liked it (it was their first ones), but the third guy seemed a bit put off by it and told me that he would never get a tattoo off the wall because it wasn't original and that he wanted me to draw it for him. So in a really nice way, I told him that I could do that, but why? Jerry's design was already good-to-go, and really nice. He replied that his tattoos were all drawn custom for him and that he thought that getting flash was unoriginal. After glancing over at his sugar skull and various other tattoos, it was clear to me that he already had flash tattooed on him and he didn't realize it, but I kept quiet and kept the conversation rolling. While we were talking and laughing, it came up that these guys were in the Coast Guard and I told them that getting a Sailor Jerry tattoo was going to be great for them since they are sailors and for other obvious reasons. They all got the tattoo done and away they went, out the door laughing and happy to go show everyone what they had done. * In this era of media overstimulation, how-to DVDs, know-it-alls and endless access to anything "tattoo" online, it has been made quite clear to me that the public has lost its way when it comes to getting good tattoos. Actually showing up at the tattoo shop was, and I still believe is, an essential part of the process so you can see the work, speak to the tattooer and actually get what you pay for. Since I can remember, my first time in a tattoo shop (around 1984-85, I think), there was this amazement and flash covered walls and the clients had these designs tattooed on them. It seemed pretty obvious that that was how you got tattooed. You go to the shop and get a tattoo and although it scared the shit outta me, it also rose my curiosity and drew me in. Fast forward to today, and think about this: e-mails for quotes, people going online for a design, then shopping it place-to-place, calling on the phone with vague descriptions and wanting to know the shop "minimum." It's hard not to hang up or say something rude to them, but we have to feed the kids so we figure it out. It's really just more work than necessary. Painting flash is still a tradition that is being done by some of this era's great tattooers, yet the public still wants to show you a Google image on their phone... WHY?! What's the deal with this? I ask customers all the time why they don't look through the flash for ideas or the tattoo they want and most replies I get are "because someone has that already" or "it's unoriginal." I mean, really?! Then the Google image they show you on their phone is a picture of someone else's tattoo! As I got close to my 10 year mark in tattooing, (1992-2003) it seemed like a lot of the tattooing I did was from flash. We always changed a few things here and there, but for the most part those designs helped me learn how to draw and compose basic tattoo iconography. For example; over time I learned how to draw and tattoo a koi fish without it looking like a chopped off penis with a human eye and sprinkles, or a dragon so that it didn't look like a barfing sock puppet, or a woman's face so she didn't look like a man, or lettering that didn't look like it was done with your foot! Most shops that have amazing tattooers working there will most likely have amazing flash or tattoo art on the walls as well. It all goes hand-in-hand, and I am sure plenty of you out there can relate to doing this, but I remember learning with flash from Jack Rudy, Paul Jeffries, Ed Hardy and many others who are the top tattooers in the world. I am so thankful to have had these designs around me over the years to work from because they are guidelines on how to translate tattoo design on paper to skin. Those designs helped me figure out how to compose and create solid tattoos large and small. Flash is in no way a dying form of the tattoo regiment because we see tattooers every day doing sets, one-off sheets, large designs and paintings that reflect the solid form of the traditional tattoo. Guys and gals like Erik Gillespie, Nick Colella, Uzi, Danny Reed, Aaron Coleman, Richard Stell, Greg Christian, Mary Joy, John Collins, Thomas Morgan, Katie Sellergren and Jesse Gordon are ones right off the top of my head that I watch constantly breathe new life into classic images to bring them into the present and make them ready to rock! These past few years, I have seen so many tattooers doing flash and pushing it out there way more than it seemed 10 years ago and I find that to be super inspiring to me as a tattooer, but how can I inspire the client to relate to it as well? A good friend of mine told me that the customers will eat what you feed them. I can't get that out of my head because it is so true when you think about it. If you are done doing Google phone tattoos you have to put it out there! I suppose the result we want to see in how the public perceives how to choose a tattoo is entirely up to the tattooers that want to correct it. Due to the overwhelming demand on tattooing, I feel that as tattooers we have almost lost the respect to the public that we once had as the "experts" who they could rely on for advice and solid work. They all have ideas and special requests that at times we all know might or might not work out for them but when we tell them what we think, we usually hear, "Ok, let me think about it." It's as if they aren't shopping for a tattoo at all, but more or less shopping for a "yes." I think it's best at times to let those folks know that whether it's flash or not, that getting tattooed is not original or unique anymore at all but rather who is doing your tattoo that sets you apart and makes it special. I'm sure that when they go think about it, they will bump into some new kid with more hand, neck and face tattoos than they have years of experience to tell them "yes" and ruin their tattoo for them. We also know any of those knuckleheads can do clunky $20 dollar tattoos and that there are doofuses out there who are happy with that, but realistically those aren't my target audiences, so I strive to uphold the morals and ethics in professional tattooing that I have been taught, whether it means sacrifice or gain. And I'd like to make mention of one more fact about getting a flash tattoo off the wall: I have done the same tattoo on lots of folks but I know that it has never been the same every time I have done it. We can do the same 10 tattoos on 10 different people and have 10 different versions. That's how it is almost 100 percent of the time. When people come in, they need to know that choosing a tattoo or getting an idea from the flash or books in the shop isn't something to be embarrassed or ashamed of. IT'S TIME TO REMOVE THE LAME FROM THE GAME! AS TATTOOERS WE NEED TO UPHOLD THE EXPERTISE AND PRIDE WE HAVE IN WHAT WE DO... *[Editor's Note: All tattoos and flash designs were made by the following from top to bottom: Zeis, Nick Colella, (Indian girl) Greg Christian, Keet d'Arms, (Skeleton gangster) Justin Larson, (Both lotus and flower tattoo and flash) Zeis, Keet d'Arms (Indian chief) Horitoshi I, Bill and Junii Salmon (Peonies) Zeis, Colella (Tiger).] (JoJo Ackermann is a tattooer and contributing blogger for Tattoo Artist Magazine.

Ray Bradbury (1920-2012), the science fiction pioneer and poet laureate of the Space Age, once remarked, "I'm not a futurist. People ask me to predict the future, when all I want to do is prevent it."
I, on the other hand, am a futurist, and I contend that the future is not something to be prevented, but something to be understood and prepared for. More than that, I would like to put in front of the switched-on, hardworking Computerworld readership the premise that they should think of future not as a noun (that is, a place or thing), but as a verb -- a mode of behavior.
In executive development programs at Ohio State University, the University of Kentucky, Florida State College at Jacksonville and the Olin College of Engineering, I frequently invoke the metaphor of the "New World" to get senior executives thinking about the future. In doing so, we inevitably end up discussing Christopher Columbus, the uber-New-Worlder.
On at least one dimension, Columbus serves as a positive role model for those who would use future as a verb rather than a noun and who contend that the future is not something to be prevented and/or accommodated. Columbus believed that the future existed and that it would be fundamentally different from the status quo. This is Futuring Skill No. 1: future awareness. The inverse of future awareness (belief in a future that is different only insofar as it is better than the present) regresses IT executives to a medieval mind-set mired in perpetual sameness.
To drive this point home, I ask executive education audiences whether they think Ronald Reagan's "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall" speech of 1987 mattered. I don't do that to explore geopolitical power dynamics of the past. I do it to highlight the critical role leaders have in putting ideas into play. Prior to Reagan giving voice to the idea that the Berlin Wall should come down, Western leaders generally accepted the Soviet Union's domination of Eastern Europe. Reagan, one East German said, "changed our consciousness," giving people real belief that "things could be different."
The future will be different. It is up to us to determine the shape, trajectory and pacing of that difference. More than just being aware that there is a future, those who would use future as a verb need to have a preference for the kind of future they want to experience. How do you want the future to be different? This is Futuring Skill No. 2: future preference. The organizations that will prosper in the future are led by people who have imagined a future they want to live in.
This kind of "let's imagine the future and make it happen" thinking does not get much coverage in the press. Being utopian (or even modestly upbeat) is very much out of favor these days. For example, Simon Ings, managing director of the new digital quarterly New Scientist, and Sumit Paul-Choudry, the e-magazine's editor in chief, darkly commented, "We don't know where we're going, and we don't know how we'll get there. There are no maps, the brakes don't work, the driver's blind and the doors have no handles. Enjoy the ride." Equally bleakly, Robert Zoellick, the outgoing World Bank president, recently told Charlie Rose, "There's no shortage of things that can give you insomnia."
These people are making my point. It is time we in IT stop wallowing in nightmares and start delighting in dreams. The future that just happens (future as a noun) is not pretty. It is up to us to use future as a verb to imagine and then create a world we want to live in.

Romano Scavolini's NIGHTMARE soon to be out!
To fix the best out of the 3 telecines we did, it is costing $42,000 to do it right (or more like passable). CODE RED does not recoup $42,000 in sales on any title. Overseas sales could be one way of recouping, but the film is already being bootleged in most countries even though it has a valid copyright. There is no way of stopping these thieves and no way of us getting some overseas funds to fix the film. Currently, a German DVD sleazeball label is bootlegging 4 of our titles, the same 4 we still haven't recouped on. They saw profit before we even got to it.
Another problem was that many fans wanted the NIGHTMARE IN A DAMAGED BRAIN version, which is very strange as that is the UK title and it's the cut version. It never played anywhere outside of the UK under that title. If any of you want that cut version, I can't help you.
Goldmine Productions wants NIGHTMARE out and the fans want it out, so the most we can do is put out what we have done and move on. For the extras, we do have the participation of Baird Stafford and also main special effects man (Florida scenes) Cleve Hall. This is all we can deliver as far as extras at this time. There is a remote chance the Scavolini interview may be worked out in time for the release, but at this moment, that is not confirmed or finalized so as it stands now we have to say it won't be included. Also, this may be hard to believe to fans of NIGHTMARE, but most of the people who worked on the film do not like the film, were never fully paid, and have nothing but bad memories working on it. 90% of the people we asked turned us down for an interview. One even said he wished the film would go away and he was happy that the negative was destroyed. Of course, we know the fans absolutely LOVE the film and that's what really counts.
NIGHTMARE received twice the amount of email requests as our recently released SLITHIS, and that movie only sold 489 copies. NIGHTMARE has to sell 4,200 copies just to break even. That amount is practically impossible in today's market for a niche title as this. Simply put, the funds coming in from my second business and freelance work are currently paying for CODE RED's losses.
For the horror fans who didn't support us in our past releases, it will be eBay time soon for stores/dealers because many of our titles will be Out Of Print by the beginning of next year. It's fun to rent, but pretty soon if you want to own these discs, you better do so soon as several of our catalog titles are no longer going to be repressed. THE FOREST (special edition version), DOOM ASYLUM, FABULOUS JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH and DEVIL TIMES FIVE (special edition version) are out of print. Many other title like THE UNSEEN, BOARDINGHOUSE, SOLE SURVIVOR, RUNNING HOT, and PETS will not be repressed and some of them have a very limited quantity left.
In any event, the long wait is finally over. NIGHTMARE is coming to DVD in 2010 in its best possible presentation. We hope you all enjoy the release and appreciate all your patience. Watch this spot for the official announcement of the streetdate. Thanks for the support!
UPDATE: Sorry - there were a couple of people who posted comments that were just now accidentally deleted. Please repost if you can as we want to make sure everybody's voice is heard. Sorry for the tech issue. Thanks for your support!

I've got THE UNSEEN on my DVD Empire wishlist, it's been there for quite some time, looks like I'm gonna have to find the money soon to get it before it goes out-of-print. This post didn't sound to encouraging about the longevity of your business. This troubles me, to say the least.

So finally, here it is! All the bitching can come to an end about this title and Code Red's long awaited update about its release. I can see where all these (anonymous!) angry posts were coming from, although I have to say that it has been a sad experience to read such a load of negative responses! Does your world revolve around the release of Nightmare? So it's been a long time since it's been anounced... go watch something else. You're dissapointed in Code Red... don't buy their titles. Life can be so nice and easy.
You see that it is coming out! Patience will finally pay off. I know it isn't in our hands yet, but it's going to be, this year!
Now the bitching can start about the absence of the Scavolini interview. And I now it will. But I don't care. I'll buy the dvd.
I really feel the need to express that if you go on this board, read this update, burn CR for the missing interview, yet run to the store the day the movies's out to get it, you're quite pathetic.
I know there'll be lots of reasons to find that the lack of the interview is unexaptable considering the amount of time this title has been pushed back in order to fix the interview's subitles (if that's the only real reason for its delay). Yet Code Red brings you the film in the end. If you cannot deal with all that is "missing" you're not worth it.
I have been patient in my life. I have been promised things that I did not get. I do not condemn people for that, it just happens. And in a 100 years we will be all dead, and nobody will remember Scavolini's Nightmare. Let alone any of the insignificant angry postings about the dvd's delay. But if you need to spit it, here's your chance.
So let's enjoy the release! I'm happy about it.Code Red, thank you for the effort and good luck with the upcoming titles.

Rosenquist--> I doubt that the interview has been the sole reason behind the delays. It's my understanding that the whole predicament with the bad telecine jobs and the long and extensive search for better elements have been the main reason this has been pushed back for so long.
No doubt CR kept hoping finding that one print that would make even the most vociferous fans satisfied - to no avail. The transfer on the DVD will apparently be an amalgam of several prints - the best CR could with the available material. I have little doubt, though, that the same people who have spammed this blog for years with their hatred will be voicing their disappointment the very minute it is released.
Personally I am just happy to see it released, interview or not. I will definitely be getting this.

I am sorry to hear of your trouble with this DVD. I wish I had a good suggestion to help. Do you have a legal recourse for those who shot the interview in the wrong language or was it just a bad misunderstanding?
I can promise you that if circumstances allow you to release Butcher Baker Nightmare Maker I will purchase it. Bootlegging is a real issue. Best wishes

thanks so much for this post. This kind of transparency is so refreshing and helpful. I really hope Code Red can keep on going despite the rather scary financial realities of being a niche distributor.

Thanks for keeping us fans informed.

Please try and get Scavolini's interview on the DVD. I know that it may cost a fair bit of $$$ to get it translated but it's bound to increase DVD sales if fans of the film see that there is a 90 MINUTE interview with the guy on the back of the DVD case. The translated interview on the PIECES dvd with spanish director
Juan Piquer Simón was fantastic. It was incredibly informative, maybe the people who translated that interview can do a good deal for CODE RED. Please try an do all that you can to get the Scavolini interview translated, it is a plethora of information that's just begging to be heard and discovered by horror fans, especially ones of the 80's and especially 80's slasher fans. Please please please try and get it on the DVD.

Seems kind of a damn sinful, wasteful shame to just throw the freakin' 90 minute interview away at this point, put the darn thing on there, do it right! Take more time if you need to, get that interview subtitled with a good and accurate translation! Yeah, that other poster mentioned an original script Baird Stafford had. Put that on there, too! Cram this release with as much as you can!!!!! Do it right and you'll be paid back in spades, of not financially at least spiritually! haha
Please, William! Do it!

I say go ahead and release NIGHTMARE without the interview. If it ends up getting finished, I think it would be best to have to available for download (VOD) via your site and/or Amazon for a minimal price ($5 or $10?). Maybe with a coupon/code included in the dvd itself, it can be downloaded and/or discounted? Just some ideas to help CR get this done and find ways to move along with finding new ways to do things (instead of maybe releasing a special edition in a year or two like SOME dvd companies have done in the past).

Ask and, maybe, you will ultimately receive..!
As a frustrated anonymous I am feeling happier given this long overdue update.
I couldn't give a damn about Scavolini's interview really - the only one that'd interest me is Baird himself. Scavo has an [ahem] reputation for shall we say personal pride, but Mr Stafford - that is compulsory!
ONE THING I notice the post didn't address is the issue of the 1.85:1 ORIGINAL PROJECTION RATIO. I hope we'll be getting the proper format - I have a direct celluloid transfer from Video Kunst on CDV format of this film looking absolutely correct in 1.85:1 with no loss of gore during decapitation. Though the print damage is terrible throughout.
AS TO COST. Well, the answer is simple - put a Paypal DONATE button on your blog. Leave it to a person's discretion BUT guarantee anyone donating $10 to the success of this release - with full extras - a signed Baird Stafford cover or something. I would chip in $10 above the cost price in advance, given how badly I want this fillum.
Then the rest is up to you - market Nightmare correctly and you won't lose a moment's sleep over the French Le Cauchemar de Daytona release OR any other Euro-bootleg version... Fango, Shivers, Gorezone, Bizarre would be sooo glad to get a 'newsflash' on Nightmare that you won't have to take out formal advertising.
Take a leaf out of Iron Sky's book - they have fans bankrolling the whole production for a slice of exclusive collectible payback!.. and it seems to be working.

Also, why no information AT ALL on this blog about CODE RED's July 13th issue of Armando Crispino's masterful DEAD ARE ALIVE/ETRUSCAN KILLS AGAIN??!! Post some info SOMEWHERE on these things! ....LOL.....!!!!!!
NIGHTMARE, put it ALL on there, do it up in grand style, everyone has waited long enough so it should be at least done in high style as it deserves, interviews with Roman, Baird, Ed French (?) etc. Trailers, Scavolini's original script, etc. etc. etc. Please and THANKS!

Ignore the naysayers, Code Red. You're giving the fans what they want, and they think things are easy with this click and download, churned out dvd market, but you take your time with great releases. I still buy your DVDs. No matter the film, there's no such thing as a "bad" film, but a boring one. Your releases aren't boring, they're always great and fun. I'll be gladly buying 'Nightmare' and 'Terminal Island' and support the company as long as you put stuff out. Thank you for putting the title out and can't wait to watch it.

This is mostly fantastic news, other than the likelihood that Code Red won't see a profit from this title.
As I've said before, I'll pre-order 5 of these once they're available to do so. Unfortunately, that just leaves the other 4195 copies to the rest of you. :)
Of course I hoped for more from the extras, but at this point, I'll take what I can get! I'm glad at least Baird Stafford can still be seen and heard from.

Warner Brothers still holds the rights to Terror Eyes/Night School. A fellow forum member on Horrordigital.com recently sent an email to them inquiring about the title. To our surprise, they responded, saying that there are definitely plans to release the film in the near future, along with a few other yet-to-be-announced "killer" titles!

Just a thought, you could try to set up some screenings at theaters in big cities in the U.S with the print you have had cleaned. I don't know if Code Red is the current rights holder but that might help offset some of the costs of the DVD production and could possibly turn a profit. I know there are a ton of underground horror fans in the Chicago area that pack screenings of 80s horror films regularly. Just a thought because I would hate to see Code Red not put out any more dvd releases due to losses.

Sorry to hear about your financial woes. I had heard sales for Beyond The Door weren't good,but I'm glad I bought a copy when I did. It seems that a lot of stores will only carry Code Red DVD titles online. I had to buy Beyond The Door from Deep Discount since at the time it was either out of stock on websites for FYE and Best Buy or the stores hadn't gotten any copies instock at the time. I know BestBuy always seems to have at least one copy of 2 disc exclusive which I was never dying to have. All I wanted was the uncut version of movie mainly. So does this mean titles like Sweet Sixteen and The Unseen will go out of print? Sweet Sixteen is another one I can never find in stores along with The Unseen. I see Scorpian Releasing has released Silent Scream.

This is by far and away the most refreshingly honest blog post I've seen from a DVD company, and thank you for all the honesty it contains. The DVD market has been terrible for years, and most companies are reluctant to talk numbers. I don't blame them, but I've always felt that the only way to convince fans to not bootleg is to treat them as equals and level with them squarely. Most seem to think the niche markets like the ones you deal in create thousands of sales, not the mere hundreds that you share. One can only hope that if fans, true fans, knew how bad things were, that they'd go the extra mile buy legitimately. While I'm sorry for your trials, I hope it all pans out in the end!

A question to the good ppl at Code Red. You said the interview will cost a lot and might not be ready for the dvd release. Would it still be possible to include the interview even without the sub-titles?
I cant wait to get my hands on this dvd when it is released!
Keep up the good works guys!
Ps : Any chance of seeing Code Red released New Year Evil?

If the NIGHTMARE dvd is watermarked, I won't buy it. Please find some other way to copy protect it that does not interfere with nor function as a blemish, impediment upon the visual playback for this release. To watermark this dvd would be extremely obnoxious and will and should rightfully adversely affect your sales of it. We've all been waiting long enough for this disc as it is, don't hand it to us while spitting in our faces at the same time, please. Thanks.

I say any diehard fan that really wants this movie should buy 2 copies when it's released. Then CR doubles its profits, and the purchaser can keep the 2nd copy sealed and maybe it'll be worth some money someday (or give it to a friend). Everyone wins. Most everyone familiar with this movie and the efforts to release it in a proper manner would agree that it's an exceptional case.

Sounds like nightmare has been a nightmare for you! I can't believe some of the negative feedback you have copped from some thankless people. Keep up the good work and give some serious thought to some of the money making suggestions that have been made, there may be a solution among them. I look forward to Nightmare with or without the Scavolini interview. Cheers

I bet all the people bitching about this Butcher Baker titles won't even bother to buy it. They will claim they cannot afford it. That is the usual pattern I am sorry to say.

I shall be pimping this DVD everywhere I can: it's one of my all time fave slasher films (I even have a chapter on it in a forthcoming book titled BUTCHER KNIVES AND BODY COUNTS, due fall, 2010). Can't wait.

In reponse to JPapp25..I have been trying to contact Code Red (Lee) in order to work some sort of cross promotion out by showing NIGHTMARE theatrically around the time they sell the DVD.
Still haven't heard anything.

Congrats to Franca Sozzani who was made Knight of the Legion of Honor, one of France's highest civilian distinctions.

She is the best of them all!
Congratulations Franca! Love the camel coat! Great shot!
those are such nice shoes! love the furry collar :)
worth every ounce of her LĂ©gion d'honneur, a real cultural figure!!
Congratulations to her, and I recently found that she also has a blog! She's effortlessly stylish and I love this photograph you've taken here.
Love the green peeking out :)
She is very class!
She's the best…I'm really excited for her…and it's an honour for me to be italian like her! :)
I'm proud for her and because of her native country. Italians need somebody like her who believes in young people, in good ideas and innovation. It sounds like something trivial it's not.
That is an award that all the country won thanks to her.
Thank you Mrs Sozzani!
A well deserved honory position, Congratulation Franca!!!
I'm such a fan of her style. She's always so well put together but with that special touch of hers. So lovely.
those metallic pointy pumps are gorgeous :)
Lovely photo & lovely coat… A forever coat…
Lovely all around! Now those are some beautiful shoes. So much more elegant than the clunky ultra high/platform stripper shoes that seem to be everywhere now. Class.
She is elegant and always chic! Bravo!
Wow, she is so elegant.. love the shoes
she held her head high, smiling, a cool and calm elegance among the cobblestones.
What a beautiful accomplishment. It just occurred to me that sometimes I dismiss awards and acknowledgements granted to famous, successful people because there's the sense that it's expected, or predictable, and somehow less special as a result. I may never meet Franca Sozzani, but I can feel from her photograph that she is strong, wise, and adventurous. The kind of woman to be Knighted.
love those heels!
Very classy look!
I love Franca Sozzani, Italian Vogue director!!! Her style is so chic basic!!!
Love the green bag. So elegant!
OMG, this women has real style…..
She always looks fabulous!!

Congrats indeed but for what reason ?
Good looking lady and her clothes don't wear her.
Bravo….I would love to do her hair…….
Bravo…..I would love to do her hair….
Her dress sense is certainly befitting of her title. The coat has such nice detail and just looking at it I feel warm. The shoes are great also. This image just goes to show that its not just young slim girls who can dress well. She certainly can carry the mantle for those of her generation.
Wow!…So elegant. I love this shoes!
Nice shoes but..they are similar to http://www.thesartorialist.com/photos/on-the-street-franca-sozzani-paris/
I really like those shoes. That copper tone is beautiful!
I really like those shows. That copper tone is beautiful!
I really like those shoes. That burgundy tone is beautiful!
She's the best! She really deserved it!
Nice shot! :)
Elegant as always, have so much admiration for this lady.
Very elegant.Perfect. I love her regard, her smile, her shoes and her coat in this order.Brava! My congratulations for all the working girls today the 8. march
She is gorgeous and what a beautiful "coup de pied". She could have been ballet dancer.
She's wonderful and what a beautiful "coup de pied". She could have been a ballet dancer.
I have always admired her style, she is gorgeous.
Poise and grace!
She looks absolutely amazing!
The tights and shoes are perfect together.
she is gorgeous and what a great outfit, love the shoes
Absolutely stunning coat!
So elegant and very well deserved congratulations to her!
Such an animated and charming shot. She looks divine.
This woman is of an undetermined age, yet just by her choice of shoes, though they are not the new over the top skyscapers, make her legs look better than a twenty year old. I think a lot of women who buy the over the top "hot" shoes are going to look at past photos of themselves and do a major CRINGE!! LOL!! This stylish lady will probably just smile!!
Wow, I love this photo! She looks great!!
Love the earrings!
what an amazing woman.
She was not made Knight, but DAME of the French Order.
Simple but classy!

Smoked Baby Chicken with Tomato and Eggplant Sambal
Another day of snowbound togetherness. Another day TRAPPED IN THIS HOUSE TOGETHER. What do you do with a week of enforced intimacy? You try not to kill each other during the day and then cook a kick ass dinner, blow off your New Years resolution diet, drink a bottle of wine and then realize, "Hey, I'm not driving anywhere" and suck down another! Yeah, that was our Thursday.
Earlier this month, I received an email from a very nice woman at Tealeaves.com who had seen the feature in 425 Magazine in the fall, featuring local food bloggers/twitter loudmouths like me. She asked if I would try their teas and let them know what I thought. I was flattered, and surprised to get a huge assortment in the mail. With our stupid New Years diets, I've been drinking a lot of tea instead of wine (WTF, right?), and the assortment she sent has been delicious. I'm also a geek for cool packaging, and loved how these arrived. There is a sealed bag inside a sealed tea compartment inside a cool tea tin. It's like a Russian Doll of tealeaves. My favorite tea has always been (and remains) Jasmine, so I used that to smoke the chicken in this recipe.
This recipe is a goldmine. It has the perfect marriage of sweet and spicy, delicious textural combinations between the creamy eggplant and tomato sambal, the seared chicken, and the crunchy fried sambal on top. Like the other Ezard recipes I've blogged about, this was delicious and so completely the type of food I like to cook.
Don't be put off by the steps—it sounds more involved than it really is. It didn't take more than an hour to throw this all together. And besides, it's a winter wonderland out there. What ELSE do you have to do today?
Notes on the recipe: I couldn't find Green Ginger Wine anywhere, and ended up subbing in a lychee rice wine I picked up the Asian market. It was quite nice. Also, I smoked this with Applewood chips. The type called for in this recipe are unique (I think) to Australia. Finally,…baby chickens? While I love the horrific descriptor, this is not something easy to procure here, so we used chicken thighs. Other than this, I promise I didn't dumb down this recipe. It's too damned good to modify.
Smoked Baby Chicken with Tomato and Eggplant Sambal
Adapted from the cookbook Gingerboy, by Teage Ezard
85 ml light soy sauce
15g (approximately 3cm) fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped
3 tablespoons green ginger wine
2 tablespoons shaoxing rice wine
2 x 500g baby chickens, butterflied (or 8 boneless chicken thighs, as we did)
100g woodchips (mankua is the best but any from your local barbecue store will work), soaked in water for 20 minutes, then drained
2 tablespoons jasmine tea leaves
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 eggplants, peeled and sliced lengthways into 12 wedges
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon sea salt
4 roma tomatoes, cut in half lengthways
250 ml(1 cup) pat chun (Chinese sweetened vinegar)
2 red shallots, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 red bird's eye (thai) chile, thinly sliced
2 tablespoopns shaoxing rice wine
2 tablespoons kecap manis
1 large handful of coriander (cilantro) leaves
1 cup crispy fried sambal (recipe below)
1 tablespoon belacan shrimp paste, roasted
750ml (3 cups) vegetable oil
6 red shallots, thinly sliced
3 long red chiles, thinly sliced on the diagonal
6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
30g (approximately 6cm) fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
Smoked baby chicken
- Combine the soy sauce, ginger, green ginger wine and shaoxing rice wine in a large container, add the chickens, skin side down, and rub the marinade into the flesh. Cover and place in the refrigerator for 2 hours to marinate. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and leave for 10 minutes to come to room temperature.
- Place a perforated stainless steel disc insert in a steamer basket, then add the chicken and cover with the lid. (Note from Marc: I just used a regular chinese bamboo steamer for this) Line the base of a wok with foil, sprinkle in half of the soaked woodchips and place over medium heat.
- Stir the woodchips around until they start to smoke, then place the steamer on top. Cover and smoke for 30 seconds, then turn off the heat and leave for 4 minutes. Remove the steamer from the wok, turn the heat back on, stir the woodchips around, replace the steamer and repeat the smoking process.
- Remove the steamer from the wok and then remove the foil and the woodchips. Replace with a fresh sheet of foil and the remaining woodchips and repeat the smoking process. The last time you move the woodchips around, place the wok over medium heat and, once the woodchips start to smoke, sprinkle on the tealeaves. Place the steamer on top, cover and leave to smoke for 3 minutes. Turn off the heat and leave for 5 minutes.
Tomato and Eggplant Sambal
- Preheat the oven to 380 F.
- Spread the eggplant in a single layer on a baking tray, drizzle on the oil and season with 1 teaspoon of the salt. Roast for 25 minutes until golden brown and soft. Set aside to cool.
- Arrange the tomatoes, cut side up, in a single layer on a baking tray. Pour the pat chun over the top, season lightly with the remaining salt and cover with foil. Roast for 30 minutes until the tomatoes are cooked but still hold their shape. Leave the tomatoes to cool in the liquid. Once cool, the skin can be easily removed. Strain, reserving 80ml (1/3 cup) of the pat chun liquid.
- Heat a wok over medium heat, add the eggplant and stir-fry for 1 minute, then add the shallots, garlic, chile and tomatoes and stir-fry for 1 minute. Pour in the shaoxing rice wine, cook for 20 seconds, then add the kecap manis and caramelize for a further 30 seconds. Stir in the reserved pat chun liquid, cook for 2 minutes, then remove from the heat.
Crispy Fried Sambal
- Using your fingers, crumble the shrimp paste into a bowl and set aside (Note from Marc: to roast the belacan, just wrap a piece in foil and cook in a 350-375 degree oven until fragrant, about 10 minutes)
- Heat the oil in a wok to 350 F (you can test if the oil is the right temperature by dropping in a cube of bread; if the bread browns in 50 seconds, the oil is ready). Fry the shallots until golden brown, remove with a slotte spoon and drain on paper towel. Repeat with the chile, garlic and ginger.
- Add all fried ingredients to the bowl and gently mix with the shrimp paste.
- This sambal is best made fresh on the day.
- Preheat the oven to 380 F (180 C.)
- Season the chicken lightly on the skin side. Place a non-stick frying pan over high heat, add the oil and chicken, skin side down, and cook for 1-2 minutes, then flip over, cover and cook for a further 4 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Cut each chicken into quarters.
- Spoon some sambal into the center of two serving plates, top with the chicken and garnish with the coriander and crispy fried sambal.

War Memorials of the Great War: Britain, France, Germany: Jay Winter
People have died in thirty-one separate armed conflicts so far in 2014, the centary year of the outbreak of the Great War, thought at the time to be the war to end all wars. The fact so military conflict continues to claim lives and the approaching anniversary of the start of the Great War, meant that Jay Winter's seminar 'War Memorials of the Great War: Britain, France, Germany' certainly hit home. The very name of the Great War of 1914- permanence and remembrance: to be great, whether for better or for worse, is to be remembered. Yet how does one memorialise war that remains not so great? Conflict memorialisation is riddled with blame and atrocity, therefore how do we remember these events effectively without lessening the horror of the event? And how does it remain current, a message to be passed on to future generations?
The implications of glory and greatness formed one dimension within Winter's seminar, whilst the other culminated in an exploration of the cult of names that developed as a result of the Great War, as names became substitutes for the deceased; developments in artillery in the early 20th century reshaped modern warfare, rendering the bodies of the deceased unrecognisable. The other half of Winter's seminar focused on a perhaps unanswerable question: how does one memorialise the lives of five million men who have vanished? To my mind he seemed to highlight the issue of how the memorials that have attempted to do so have in-corporeally vanished in front of our eyes today, receding into landscape of our surroundings.
The questions that formed the core of Winter's seminar are, in my opinion, unanswerable – and although Winters brought them to light, his attempts to answer them were rooted in his perception of the Great War. The use of names, tangible materiality and the abstraction of monuments seemed to be his answer, derived from the Thiepval Memorial to the Missing of the Somme. The development of warfare has of course progressed even further, if we consider for example the invention of nuclear weapons – more damage can be done, more lives can be lost and this seems to indicate that memorialisation needs to develop to keep pace with these horrific changes in the very nature of warfare.

Was diagnosed in 08 with colon cancer,surgery Feb 09, with ileoscomy.Felt my life was over. Job gone, friends desserted me.Had 5 prolapses that year,moved to avoid rediquel to accross the state.Later that year, from Pet scan , found I had agressive small cell live cancer, and maybe 6 months to live.
Already have Panic disorder and with the new cancer had 5 sugeries and 2 radiation in 2011, to clear over 14 tumors, also 2 in the pelvic area.I f it could go wrong, it did.
With the last MRI, they told me I have MS, 8 lessions on back vertabrae.I have no one to help me, and will see my new PC next week to see if he can give me a little guidance.It costs a lot to fight cancer and with little money, it is difficult.
With my energy being low, from all the surgeies last year, I am doing nothing to fight, and hope that changes.I have asked for help and it is usaully you have a little more money than you should to qualify,and by many standards,even this PC should go.I must wait to get back some energy to fight again,and will try to see what others have done.

A couple of things in the energy sector came on my radar Wednesday while I was flat on my back for a third straight day recovering from this nasty flu that has been hitting the country hard (and chastising myself for not getting a flu shot).
Jefferies says it sees capital expenditures in the oil and gas space rising 3% to 5% in 2013 based on recent additional capital spending announcements from oil and gas companies. Bernstein Research says North American activity will continue to climb out of its trough in 2013, and oil-services company Baker Hughes (BHI) predicts North American rig count will increase by 125 to 1880, even as aspects of its business remain under pressure.
This could mean brighter days in 2013 for the oil-services industry, which has underperformed the broader market by approximately 10% over the past year.
I particularly like the offshore drillers, where spending should be stronger. Morgan Stanley believes 2013 will be another big year for offshore drilling and Exxon Mobil plans to spend $14 billion to develop just one huge field off the coast of Newfoundland.
Here are two offshore drillers that look attractive at current price levels.
Rowan Cos. (RDC) provides offshore oil and gas contract drilling services in the U.S. and internationally. It primarily focuses on high-specification and premium jack-up rigs and has a fleet of 31 self-elevating mobile offshore jack-up rigs.
Four reasons RDC provides value at $34 a share:
- Revenues are increasing at a rapid pace. Sales grew by almost 50% in 2012 as new builds came online. Analysts expect at least 10% revenue growth in 2013. The stock sports a low five -year projected price-earnings-growth ratio of 0.47.
- The stock is cheap at just 96% of book value, considering Standard & Poor's expects the company to earn a 25% return on capital on its new builds.
- Although earnings estimates have come down recently, the company is still experiencing a solidly upward earnings curve. Rowan earned $1.14 per share in 2011 but is on track to post around $1.85 in 2012. Analysts project better than $2.40 in 2013.
- Credit Suisse believes the company will print better than $3.70 in earnings in 2014. It also has a $45 price target and an Outperform rating on the shares. S&P believes Rowan could be a takeover target, given its low valuation and premium assets.
Atwood Oceanics (ATW) is an offshore drilling contractor that engages in the drilling and completion of exploratory and developmental oil and gas wells. The company owns a fleet of approximately 11 mobile offshore drilling units.
Four reasons ATW is a good growth play at $51 a share:
- Atwood is showing up on some takeover lists, recently as one of two energy concerns on Morgan Stanley's list of 40 companies that have a higher probability of being acquired in 2013.
- The company is growing earnings rapidly. It made just over $4 a share in 2011 but is tracking to around $4.85 for 2012. Analysts project almost $6.50 a share for 2013.
- Revenue came with a better than 25% increase in 2012, and analysts expect similar performance in 2013. The stock has a small five-year projected PEG of 0.54.
- The stock is cheap at just 8x forward earnings given its revenue and earnings growth.

Take the SBA-Train
As someone who grew up riding the Boston MBTA, and later the New York City subway system, I have an affection for that gritty form of public transit. So I loved the New York Times article from some weeks ago that detailed the results of the city's subway survey. My favorite quote: "Please. I've lived in New York for 20 years — I've seen more bizarre things on the trains than I can remember. That's why we live here."
When you zoom out from that passenger experience, though, there's a lot that goes into building a subway system to carry all that humanity. Just look at this site dedicated to dreaming up a better MBTA for Boston. Clearly people rely on subway systems for different things and have very subjective needs when it comes to the design of the overall system. And that's why Cisco's new Smart Business Architecture (SBA) subway system is so cool. It's designed to help you navigate easily from Point A to Point B as you move through the modules that help you turn a Borderless Network Architecture into a reality.
Each module—or subway stop—represents a prescriptive, step-by-step guide for a specific aspect of the Borderless Network Architecture. And when you zoom in to explore that guide, you find a clear point of orientation.
Let me explain. In Jason Lackey's recent blog about SEO poisoning, he provides some good tips for avoiding the threats inherent in that particular brand of cyber threats. One of his suggestions is, of course, to get Ironport Web Security. Within the SBA subway system, as you navigate through the Supplemental guides, you find a Web Security subway stop. When you follow that to the Web Security SBA guide, you find a mini map like below, which shows you what you're about to look at, what you should refer to before that doc, and what you should move on to afterward. It's a simpler way to look at and deploy an overall architecture in a phased, solution-by-solution way.
As you're thinking about your network, consider how an overall system could help you cut the complexity out of navigating your way to a fuller, more powerful architecture. Imagine—a tightly integrated system even with a phased buildout. With that kind of structured support, you never have to worry that the train has left the station.
