Arkansas's Economic Outlook0
December 7, 2012 by wcobserver
State Capitol Week in Review
From Senator Sue Madison
December 7, 2012
LITTLE ROCK – The Arkansas economy continues to show slight improvement, according to the most recent state revenue report issued for November.
The state collected $427.6 million in taxes in November. That is $14.9 million more than the state collected in November of 2011. The main sources of state general revenue are income taxes on individuals and corporations and sales taxes.
So far this fiscal year, net general revenue is up 2.8 percent above the same period last year. Individual income taxes are up 4.8 percent, which reflects good news about jobs because the more people work the more the state collects in income taxes.
The amount collected was about $4 million more than forecast. In other words, revenue is flowing into the state treasury at a faster rate than the administration's budget forecasters predicted. If the trend continues of better-than-expected revenue flow, it will set up interesting political battles during the 2013 regular session.
The major responsibility of the legislature is to appropriate tax revenue for state government spending. In preparation for the regular session that begins on January 14, legislators are holding budget hearings to study in detail proposed budgets for every state agency. Every budget and every spending request is dependent on the economic forecast provided by the Department of Finance and Administration, who work for the governor.
In past years the forecasts done by the governor's administration haven't always tracked the economic forecasts performed by the legislature's economists. One reason is that forecasting the economy for the next two years is difficult. There are political reasons too, which boil down to the question of which branch of government gets to control more spending.
The legislature's duty is to appropriate tax dollars, which it does using forecasts from its own economists and those who work for the administration. If the administration's forecast is low the total amount of legislative appropriations will be correspondingly low.
If revenue comes in above forecast it results in a surplus, which is basically an amount of money in the state treasury that has not been appropriated for ongoing expenses such as the operations of state agencies. It is considered "one-time" money and traditionally has been dedicated to "one-time" expenses such as capital projects like buildings or equipment purchases.
In November the administration adjusted its original forecast and raised its estimate of state revenue this year by $99.5 million. That amount will be combined with surpluses from previous fiscal years in a pot that will total almost $300 million. With so much "one-time" money sitting unused in the state treasury, there is likely to be a battle of political wills over how to spend it in the 2013 session.
There will be pressure to spend it on the Medicaid program to prevent cuts in services predicted by officials of the state Human Services Department. There is always a need to boost state appropriations for higher education to prevent the need for tuition increases. Teachers and public school employees are asking the state to contribute more to their health insurance. There are legislators who believe that consistent surpluses over the past few years are solid proof that taxes can be lowered.
If you have any questions or comments about legislative issues, please call me at 479-442-2997.

|The Old Spice Muscle Music campaign was a shocker alright: to the tune of 7.3 million video views.
Buzz. It's a term that has gained steam over the years, especially as digital/social communications have come of age. Building maximum buzz around a brand is the Holy Grail for communicators.
And at the PRSA International Conference in San Francisco last month, a session offered key principles for building such "buzz equity." The presentation, featuring Citizen Paine CEO Daryl McCullough, Jon Cronin, CP's managing director of social engagement and Daniel Lemin, head of brand consultancy Social Studio, covered their seven principles and included some dazzling examples of fully integrated award-winning campaigns that truly built buzz.
The beauty of these seven buzz principles? You don't have to use them all in a program to have success, says Lemin. And your budget doesn't have to be huge. "I think a lot of companies look at brand building and think it's going to be expensive," says Lemin. But that's simply not the case. "Nonprofits do buzz marketing really well," he says.
But before you can generate buzz, there are some imperatives to put into play: The three S's—social voice, storytelling and social currency. Having the right voice on social media seems obvious, but it's tricky, says Win Sakdinan, associate director, external relations at Procter & Gamble. "Brands in the Twitter world, for example, compete against people's friends, not necessarily other brands," says Sakdinan. So, he says, think of how your brand would talk at the bar—in a social sense.
The second "S," storytelling, is now much talked about among communicators. Simply put, a good story is "something you carry with you and share with friends and family," says Cronin.
Then, the story should contain valuable information that will induce a person to want to be the first to share a post or a video—the third "S," social currency.
To achieve these buzz imperatives, apply one or more of the following seven principles:
1. Shock Them: There's no better example of the use of this principle than the Old Spice Muscle Music campaign (see the image). When actor Terry Crews starts playing a drum set using nothing but his muscles and shoots flames out of a saxophone, it's a shock. "It's also incredibly entertaining, interactive and designed to be very easily shared," says Kate DiCarlo, communications director for Old Spice. In the first week alone, the video garnered 7.3 million views between Vimeo and YouTube.
2. Be Newsworthy: A prime example of a creative, newsworthy campaign is Oreo's Daily Twist. Images of Oreos were created that were fun and relevant to the news of the day. Oreo kicked off the campaign in June with the Rainbow Oreo, showing support for Gay Pride Month. According to Oreo's director of marketing, Cindy Chen, engagement with the Daily Twist Facebook posts increased 110% on average.
3. Don't Fear Emotion: In early 2012, Duracell partnered with the NFL on a campaign called Trust Your Power, featuring a video with San Francisco 49ers linebacker Patrick Willis. Willis and his three siblings were raised in a poverty-stricken neighborhood by a single father who struggled with alcohol and drug addictions. "It's about overcoming adversity," says P&Gs Sakdinan, who works on the Duracell brand. "There are no batteries involved in this. It's about power itself," he says. It's also about master storytelling.
4. Embrace Their Pride: As people struggle to find jobs, Puerto Rico struggles to find workers— 60% of the island's population receives government handouts. Living off welfare is so common that it is celebrated in the greatest salsa hit of all time: "No Hago Más Ná" by El Gran Combo. Puerto Rico's largest bank, Banco Popular, convinced El Gran Combo to rewrite the lyrics of their song—one that encouraged the population to want to work. The beauty of the campaign: "Banco Popular didn't attach itself to the video until the day after it launched," says Cronin.
5. Capture Their Imagination: "Beauty and imagination are powerful storytelling mechanisms," says Lemin. "This forces PR to think more about form than function." To build a program that is imagination-oriented, Lemin says to hit the right touch points: target moms with babies and children, for example. Then, tell part of the story, but not the whole story.
6. Try Something Untested: To create buzz in early 2012 for his new single "Pass it On," Swedish hip-hop artist Adam Tensta came up with something unique, to say the least. "One Copy Song" was a Facebook app that allowed one person worldwide to hear Tensta's new track at a time. Yep, if you wanted to hear the song, you had to wait in a digital line. To move up in the line 15 places, you could tweet or Facebook about the song to 15 friends. Thousands of music fans got in line, and the song traveled to more than 40 countries.
7. Make Your Fans Part of It: This is the most important principle, says Lemin. Tentra's song is prime example of this, and so is the Old Spice Muscle Music campaign. At Old Spice, it wasn't just about creating a wild video, says DiCarlo. "Fans could create their own muscle videos," she says—to the tune of more than 14,000 submitted.
Most importantly, DiCarlo never loses sight of the brand's fans. "We pride ourselves on being consistent in some ways and highly versatile in others," she says.
While Old Spice consistently creates products that deliver on promises, its communications are versatile enough not to box the brand into one campaign idea.

A lost Freddie Mercury interview from the set of "I Was Born to Love You" and footage of him performing with Rod Stewart are to form the basis of a new retrospective DVD about the tragic star.
The Great Pretender will feature rare and never-before-seen footage of the Queen frontman, who died of pneumonia brought on by AIDS in November 1991.
Produced and directed by life-long Queen fan and expert Rhys Thomas, the extensive archive footage is drawn from rare interviews with Mercury, concerts, video shoots and personal material, much of it being seen for the first time, along with newly-filmed contributions from fellow Queen members Brian May and Roger Taylor, Queen manager Jim Beach, soprano Montserrat Caballe, composers David Arnold and Mike Moran and lyricist Tim Rice.
Highlights include Mercury and Stewart singing their demo for Take Another Piece of My Heart, an unreleased song from 1984, a snippet of the unreleased Michael Jackson and Freddie Mercury collaboration There Must Be More To Life Than This, and footage of the singer with the Royal Ballet in 1979, which has never been seen in full before.
Rhys' extensive scouting for lost material also turned up a copy of the band's first TV appearance among the belongings of late comedian Dick Emery and unearthed Mercury's earliest filmed interview from 1976.
The Great Pretender will be released on DVD in September.

Getting a Williams Sonoma box from Donna is always a good thing, and this past Christmas was no exception. This piece of fanciness was her gift to all the siblings, having recently become enamored with the little filled Danish pancakes.
Naturally, we proceeded to try out many variations, including the Sticky Toffee ebelskivers we made for our Downton Abbey Boxing Day Feast, but I had other ideas as well. First and foremost of these ideas: Not pancakes at all, but eggs.
So simple, I'm sure all I need to do is show you the picture, but in a nut/eggshell:
1. Heat about half a teaspoon of butter or oil into each well you plan to use in your schmancy specialty pan over medium heat. Give it a little swirl. Yes, the pan is nonstick, but in order to smoothly flip them over, you need just a teeny bit more glide.
2. Carefully crack your eggs into the wells. If they're extra-large eggs, you may overflow just a bit, but you can either cut the excess away or fold it under itself when you go to flip (step 4). Season with salt and pepper while they cook.
3. Cook eggs until about 3/4 of the whites have become opaque.
4. Carefully flip using a pair of skewers or chopsticks, using one skewer on each side. A good video of the flip in action can be found here; actual flip at 1:45.
5. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, depending on how hard you like your eggs cooked.
6. Pop them out of their wells and voila, adorable little fried egg balls.
Serve alongside whatever you like! I was in the mood for greens that day and sauteed up some chard with a touch of red onion and garlic, but whatever floats your breakfast boat!
During picture time, Lily insisted on including her Gak pancake too, so here's her contribution:
Other ebelskiver innovations:
Ebelskivers with Streusel Banana Pecan Topping from Teenie Cakes
Cinnamon Bun Ebelskivers from Erin Cooks
Ebelskivers Stuffed with Nutella from Citron et Vanille
Blueberry Ebelskivers from Baking Bites

"Air Lift" by Col. Donna J. Neary, USMCR, from the exhibition "Fly Marines! The Centennial of Marine Corps Aviation: 1912-2012," which tells the story of U.S. Marine Corps aviation over the past 100 years, is on display Jan. 14 through Jan.
"Fly Marines! The Centennial of Marine Corps Aviation: 1912-2012" Opens at the National Air and Space Museum
The Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum will present "Fly Marines! The Centennial of Marine Corps Aviation: 1912-2012," an exhibition consisting of 91 works of art selected from the Marine Corps Art Program. Originally established as the Marine Corps Combat Art Program in 1942 to "keep Americans informed about what 'their Marines' were doing at home and overseas," the collection now consists of more than 8,000 works and is managed by the National Museum of the Marine Corps, which partnered with the National Air and Space Museum to produce the exhibition. The year-long exhibition, which coincides with the national observance of the centennial, opens Jan. 14.
The works on display range from art for recruitment posters to works by master aviation artists R.G. Smith and Keith Ferris, who painted the mural "Fortresses Under Fire" that serves as a backdrop for the museum's World War II gallery, as well as Robert McCall, better known for his aerospace art and his murals at the entrance of the museum. Subject matter includes important historical moments, portraits of key figures and combat scenes—many painted by participants who witnessed the events. John Glenn, one of the best-known marine aviators, is featured in two portraits—a canvas by Bruce Stevenson that shows him as a young Mercury astronaut and a watercolor by Henry Casselli of him as part of the STS-95 crew—as well as a bronze bust from 1968 by Felix W. De Weldon, the sculptor who created the Iwo Jima Memorial.
The exhibition traces the history of Marine Corps aviation from its origins, starting with the poster art for "Fly with the U.S. Marines" (1920) by leading American artist and illustrator Howard Chandler Christy and a depiction of the first Marine aviator, Lt. Alfred A. Cunningham, flying a Wright B-1 float plane in 1912 by Col. Horace Avery Chenoweth, U.S. Marine Corps Reserve. It includes scenes of combat from World War I up to the conflict in Afghanistan, as well as objects from the collections of both museums that provide human and historical context, such as uniforms, squadron patches and flight suits.
The National Air and Space Museum building on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., is located at Sixth Street and Independence Avenue S.W. The museum's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center is located in Chantilly, Va., near Washington Dulles International Airport. Both facilities are open daily from 10 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. (closed Dec. 25). Admission is free, but there is a $15 fee for parking at the Udvar-Hazy Center.

Nick Damici was hungover when we met for a drink at Tom & Jerry's bar last Saturday afternoon. The actor and screenwriter, who has a reputation for being something of a curmudgeon, had overdone it the night before, celebrating the release of his latest horror film, We Are What We Are, at the Sunshine Cinema on the Lower East Side.
Mr. Damici, 53, is no stranger to this watering hole, which his girlfriend owns and was featured in Mulberry Street, the 2006 low-budget mutant thriller he wrote with his longtime creative partner, Jim Mickle. That's not to say that he spends much time here anymore, even though he lives around the corner.
"It's too young and too loud for me," said the scruffy Mr. Damici, who wore a floppy straw fedora, a denim shirt, jeans and a metal necklace. He added, with a thick New York accent: "I'm sick of this neighborhood. It's so fucking crowded."
What would he call this section of the city, we wondered? Noho?
"They make up fucking names," Mr. Damici said. "It's Houston Street."
With those sentiments in mind, it probably isn't a coincidence that Mssrs. Damici and Mickle have, in recent years, taken to setting their movies in rural areas.
Mr. Damici said that about half of the 2010 post-apocalyptic horror movie Stake Land was shot in the Catskills, as was all of We Are What We Are, about a family of cannibals that is as much a schlocky thriller as it is a serious critique of blind religious observance. And the writing duo just wrapped up Cold in July, an East Texas crime drama starring Michael C. Hall that was filmed upstate in and around the town of Kingston.
"Shooting a movie in New York is a pain in the ass," Mr. Damici told the Transom. "Go upstate; everybody likes you, and nobody yells at you."
Mr. Damici's allergy to the Big Apple comes as a surprise, considering he is about as much of a New York character as one can be, having grown up in Hell's Kitchen in the 1960s and early '70s. Was that rough, we asked?
"Nah, it's what I knew. I probably knew what a hooker was when I was in first grade. But that wasn't necessarily a bad thing," he said. "My old man was a bartender on 44th Street and 11th Avenue. I tended bar when I was 12. Pops would lock up the door and put me behind the stick so he could have a few beers. Nowadays, you'd get arrested. They call it child abuse."
Mr. Damici came to prominence as the lead in Mulberry Street, but he worked in TV for many years, playing police detectives in Law & Order and CSI, while training boxers to pay the bills. Michael Moriarty, a mentor, encouraged him to start writing scripts—and he did—though he maintains acting was and is his first love.
"Writing is a lonely, thankless job," Mr. Damici said. "And then everybody wants to change it on you anyway."
What was it about acting that drew him in, we wondered?
"You get to play," he told us. "You get to be a little kid again, man. It's the most fun you can have. People make a big deal out of acting, like it's an art, or it's a science. Bullshit. It's fucking acting—it's not rocket science."
Before parting ways, we joined him on the sidewalk for a smoke. Mr. Damici said he'd been considering moving upstate, to a place less "transient" than New York—a city, he added, that no longer has much of anything to offer him.
"I want to be able to go outside in my underwear and piss on a squirrel," he said with a raspy laugh, taking another drag from his American Spirit.
We noted that one can still do that here.
"Yeah," he said. "But you'd get arrested"

This year's MLK parade featured an unprecedented number of Republicans, including Congressman Mike Coffman and state Sen. Greg Brophy, as the Colorado Republican Party continues its outreach to minorities.
Party chairman Ryan Call said the GOP worked with American Conservatives of Color and had a registration booth at Civic Center Park and participated in a honk-and-wave.
"We're building on what we did last year," he said. "We have quite a number of Republicans that are marching in support of Martin Luther King day and demonstrating the commitment the Republican Party has for engagement within our community."
Coffman said he participated in Juneteenth when he was state treasurer and has always attended MLK events in Aurora, where he lives, but this is his first MLK parade.

Flyers surge in third to stun Sharks
SAN JOSE, Calif. -- The Philadelphia Flyers set a club record for third-period comebacks in a most unlikely building.
Scoring three times in a 2:45 span of the early third period, Philadelphia snapped a 13-game losing streak to San Jose, beat the Sharks on the road for the first time since November 1999 and rallied in the third for a franchise-record 10th time this season.
All in all, Monday's 5-2 win was a great way to cap a 2-1 trek through California.
"Good trip," Flyers coach Craig Berube said. "I thought the guys battled and played well all three games against good teams, and we got some good results."
Even-strength goals by forwards Matt Reid, Michael Raffl and Claude Giroux were enough to chase San Jose's starting goalie, Antti Niemi, who was both lucky and good during the opening 40 minutes. The Sharks nursed a 2-1 lead to the second intermission, and they were 26-1-2 when entering the third with a lead.
"Even in the second period, we weren't the better team," Sharks coach Todd McLellan said. "We were playing with fire, and it was a matter of time. If we were going to continue that way, we were going to get burned, and we did."
Things quickly fell apart for the hosts early in the final period, and San Jose (35-16-6) lost for the fourth time in 26 games while getting held to 22 shots, a season low at home.
Reid drove wide after Philadelphia won a defensive-zone draw, and his wrister from the far edge of the right circle changed direction after tipping off defenseman Matt Irwin's stick, beating Niemi stick-side at 1:11. Reid's 15th goal of the season tied the game.
Sharks defensemen Marc-Edouard Vlasic and Justin Braun lost a battle in the corner and watched as Raffl scored from the slot at 2:29 on a juicy rebound after defenseman Erik Gustafsson's shot from the left point.
Giroux scored his 18th goal and chased Niemi in favor of backup goalie Alex Stalock at 3:56 with a shot that was partially screened by Sharks defenseman Dan Boyle.
"We played 60 minutes, and obviously we were down 2-1 for pretty much the whole game," Giroux said. "But we liked the way we played. We had a lot of chances, and when we had a chance in the third, we went for it."
Flyers right winger Jakub Voracek scored his 15th goal at 17:44 for insurance.
"We talked about how were still weren't playing the way we needed to," Boyle said about the locker-room chat before the third. "Obviously, we didn't play well enough to get it done."
Niemi came up big during a second period dominated territorially and in shots by the Flyers, who trailed after 40 minutes despite holding a 19-13 edge in shots.
"They were pressing hard and forcing us to make plays, and we weren't executing," Irwin said. "That's unacceptable for us. We've got to find a way to move forward. We felt going into the third period with a 2-1 lead it's one of those nights you're just going to grind it out and get those two points."
The Sharks took a one-goal lead into the first intermission, snapping a power-play drought in the process after allowing the game's first goal.
Rookie left winger Matt Nieto atoned for taking an early and costly penalty by tipping a cross-ice feed from right winger Tommy Wingels past Flyers goalie Steve Mason 78 seconds into defenseman Nicklas Grossmann's interference minor.
The power-play strike snapped an 0-for-16 drought by the Sharks over six games.
Nieto struck again at 12:32 at even strength for his first career multi-goal game. Right winger Brent Burns did the heavy lifting, winning a battle in the corner with Giroux, then sending a perfect backhand pass behind two Flyers defenders. Nieto darted around Mason to score low on the forehand.
The visitors broke on top just 38 seconds after Nieto hooked Philadelphia defenseman Braydon Coburn early in the first period. Defenseman Mark Streit's drive from the high slot went through a screen provided by right winger Wayne Simmonds in front of Niemi at 4:23.
Mason made 20 saves for the win. Niemi stopped 19 of the 23 shots he faced. Stalock stopped four of five shots.
"I think an L.A, reporter referred to coming to California as a 'Bermuda Triangle'," Simmonds said. "But I think we played pretty well and competed all three games. I think taking four points out of six is pretty nice. We'll take that and go back home."
NOTES: The city of Plover, Wis., decreed Feb. 7 as "Joe Pavelski Day" in recognition of the San Jose center's achievements both on and off the ice. Pavelski, who was born in Plover, will be on the U.S. Olympic team. ... The Flyers concluded a three-game road trip. They host the Calgary Flames on Thursday in their penultimate game before the Olympic break. The Sharks host the Dallas Stars on Thursday in the third of four straight at home. ... Rookie D Matt Tennyson was promoted from AHL Worcester to give San Jose seven players on the blue line, as D Jason Demers missed his second consecutive game with a lower-body injury. ... San Jose RW Tyler Kennedy took warm-ups but was scratched for a third straight game. ... Philadelphia continues to play without D Kimmo Timonen (bruised foot). ... Flyers LW Jay Rosehill and D Hal Gill did not dress.

This project can be broken down in a fast way like this:
- get a 64 bit machine from IT with a 64 bit Windows 2008
- install the right tool-chain
- generate manually the build
- pass it to someone to QA it
- make sure that Windows 08 can be managed by OPSI
- automate the build process
- clone more machines and include them on a pool
- move these machines to production
- run unit tests on Talos Rev3 machines
- run talos
- debug builds
- symbols
A bonus will be to investigate how to create Windows 32 bit builds on these machines since we don't want to have two separate pool of builders. The only problem is that it will definitively turn into scope creep if we choose to include it since the beginning. I will have to evaluate this with more time.
Any experienced Win32/64 cross-compiler guy out there?

The Horse - a poem by Ronald Duncan
A poem entitled 'The Horse' is Ronald Duncan's most popular poem.
Many people who have worked with or love horses have felt this poemcaptures the essence of the horse. Duncan bred Arab horses in Devon and was a keen horse rider himself, in this poem he seems to understandthe horse historically, physically and emotionally.
Every year 'The Horse' is read at the climax of the Gala Night of the International Horse of the Year Show. It was written by Duncan in 1964 after Mike Ansell asked him to write the poem. Colonel Sir Mike Ansell (1905–1994) was blinded during the retreat from Dunkirk during the Second World War.
After the war, Ansell committed himself to the interests of the horse in the United Kingdom. He was Director of the Royal International Horse of the Year Show (from 1949 until 1975) - and his friend's poem is still read today.
The Horse Where in this wide world can man find nobility without pride,friendship without envy, or beauty without vanity? Here where grace is laced with muscle and strength by gentleness confined.___ He serves without servility; he has fought without enmity. There is nothing so powerful, nothing less violent; there is nothing so quick, nothing more patient. ___ England's past has been borne on his back. All our history is in his industry. We are his heirs; He is our inheritance. Ronald Duncan
This poem may be copied, reprinted, or placed online. There is no charge.

it is to appear.

Country star Randy Travis has quit drinking after a string of alcohol-related legal woes and is now in "the best shape of his life," according to his lawyer.
The 53-year-old singer has endured a rough 2012 following arrests for public intoxication, drunk driving and assault, but he is bouncing back from his troubles after giving up booze.
The "Honky Tonk Moon" singer has adopted a new healthy diet and is working out regularly to improve his fitness.
His attorney Larry Friedman tells TMZ.com, "(Travis) eliminated alcohol from his daily life. (He) works out three hours every day and is in the best shape of his life. He has a high-protein diet and takes a lot of vitamins."
Friedman also reveals Travis headed back to the recording studio in Texas last week to work on new material.

Mr. Pickwick Addresses the Club
Robert Seymour
Chapter 1, Pickwick Papers by Charles Dickens
Scanned image and text by Philip V. Allingham.
[You may use this image without prior permission for any scholarly or educational purpose as long as you (1) credit the person who scanned the image and (2) link your document to this URL in a web document or cite the Victorian Web in a print one. ]
Dickens, despite his youth and desire to be a published author, had the nerve to object to William Hall's suggestion of the mere episodic adventures of a "Nimrod Club," given his lack of knowledge about sporting activities and the fact that such a concept was already rather hackneyed — thanks largely to work by Seymour and Surtees between 1832 and 1834.
My views being deferred to, I thought of Mr. Pickwick, and wrote the first number; from the proof sheets of which, Mr. Seymour made his drawing of the Club, and his happy portrait of its founder: — the latter on Mr. Edward Chapman's description of the dress and bearing of a real personage whom I had often seen. I connected Mr. Pickwick with a club, because of the original suggestion, and I put in Mr.Winkle expressly for the use of Mr. Seymour. [Dickens, "Preface," The Household Edition iv]
Passage Illustrated:
What a study for an artist did that exciting scene present! The eloquent Pickwick, with one hand gracefully concealed behind his coat tails, and the other waving in air to assist his glowing declamation; his elevated position revealing those tights and gaiters, which, had they clothed an ordinary man, might have passed without observation, but which, when Pickwick clothed them — if we may use the expression — inspired involuntary awe and respect; surrounded by the men who had volunteered to share the perils of his travels, and who were destined to participate in the glories of his discoveries. On his right sat Mr. Tracy Tupman — the too susceptible Tupman, who to the wisdom and experience of maturer years superadded the enthusiasm and ardour of a boy in the most interesting and pardonable of human weaknesses — love. Time and feeding had expanded that once romantic form; the black silk waistcoat had become more and more developed; inch by inch had the gold watch-chain beneath it disappeared from within the range of Tupman's vision; and gradually had the capacious chin encroached upon the borders of the white cravat: but the soul of Tupman had known no change — admiration of the fair sex was still its ruling passion. On the left of his great leader sat the poetic Snodgrass, and near him again the sporting Winkle; the former poetically enveloped in a mysterious blue cloak with a canine-skin collar, and the latter communicating additional lustre to a new green shooting-coat, plaid neckerchief, and closely-fitted drabs. [chapter 1, p. 2 in the Boston ed.]
The first plate, marking the inauguration of the Cockney sporting club, is set on 12 May 1827. The principals, apart from Pickwick (holding forth while standing on a chair) are Tracy Tupman, the poet Augustus Snodgrass, and the experienced "sportsman," Nathaniel Winkle. As Pickwick addresses the club, Mr. Blotton (one of three figures in the first illustration: the man with the pipe, up centre; the man gesticulating, down centre; or the sour-looking gentleman with the pipe, down left) denounces Pickwick as a "Humbug," an insult which Ebenezer Scrooge made famous seven years later in A Christmas Carol, implying a species of imposture, deceit, or delusion. That Robert Seymour (1798-1836) was not much invested in the club members so much as their "sporting" activities is implied by the artist's failure to individualise the other club members, and by their postures suggest which figure is Blotton. The passage realised suggests that Tupman is to Pickwick's immediate right, and that Snodgrass and Winkle are to Pickwick's immediate left.
Nothing in the initial illustration prompts a reader's sympathy with any of the characters, and the illustrator fails to suggest a precise narrative moment for realisation, other than the visual allusion to Pickwick's having one hand in his coat tails. But Seymour was a well-known, popular artist, so Dickens's bided his time. The crisis came when, having just married Catherine Hogarth, young Dickens wanted a reprieve from monthly writing in order to take her on a honeymoon. Consequently, when he simply inserted in an instalment a short story he had written some time earlier — "The Stroller's Tale," whose morbid tone and subject are hardly consistent with a jolly group of Cockney sportsmen — in "The Dying Clown" (the fifth plate) Seymour failed to provide an illustration that pleased the writer. Although Dickens has never reported the substance of their conversation on Sunday, 17 April 1836, one can easily guess at the tone of the meeting; on the 19th, Seymour blew his brains out with a fowling piece in his back garden.
Dickens is not being entirely truthful when he writes, "I thought of Mr. Pickwick," for a character who looks very much like the retired merchant occurs in Seymour's Maxims and Hints for an Angler (1833): even the delightful Sam Weller, whose introduction after Phiz took over the serial's illustration resulted in a spike in sales, may not be entirely a Dickens original, since a similar, smart-tongued Cockney appears in Seymour's Cockney Sporting Sketches.
Left: Mr. Pickwick Addresses the Club by Thomas Nast. Right: The location of the illustration in relation to the text.
Compare Seymour's handling of the incorporation scene to Thomas Nast's untitled version of Pickwick's presenting the charter and terms of incorporation to the club on page 9 of the American Household Edition, a woodcut in which the viewer is situated behind the Presiding Perpetual Vice-President, Joseph Sniggers, with Pickwick to his and our right.

Annie's Mailbox for 6/6/2019
Dear Annie: My adult stepdaughter doesn't want to work. Her main goal in life is to drink, smoke pot and pass out naked on the beach. She inherited two family homes and essentially threw them away by not paying the mortgages and having parties with the money she collected as rent.
This woman falls off the face of the Earth until she needs something. Her father and I are just getting our finances back on track after a series of layoffs. She had no idea we had moved out of state for new jobs. My husband is retired now, and we absolutely cannot afford to house a 43-year-old woman.
This girl needs some serious help. When my grandmother became too drunk to manage her own affairs, we put her in a rest home. Could we do this with my stepdaughter? -- No Drama, Please
Dear Drama: Not without her consent or a court order saying she is incompetent. We doubt you'd get either. We assume this woman doesn't have a job, but she is still your husband's daughter. Is he willing to cut her off financially?
Would she listen to him if he offered advice or suggested job counseling? We don't recommend you let this woman land on your doorstep. She has to understand that there are consequences to her irresponsible behavior. Still, you cannot do much without Dad's backing. And if Dad enables her profligate behavior in any way, it only prolongs the end result.
Dear Annie: Everyone at our YMCA is friendly. We smile and say hello, even if we are not well-acquainted.
The exception is a young man who started coming a few months ago. He always has a scowl on his face. Whenever anyone says "hello," he turns away without responding. Maybe he just wants to be left alone. But he has had an arm amputated, so we wonder whether there is something more we should do to reach out to him. He might be a war veteran -- but we don't know, because he won't talk to us.
What should we do? We're happy to give him his space and stop trying to be friendly if that's what is best for him. -- Just Trying To Be Friendly
Dear Just: You sound very kind, but some people need more space -- and more time to adjust. Please don't suddenly ignore this man, however. It doesn't require much additional effort to continue to say hello, without expecting a response. We think, in time, this man will realize that you aren't being overly inquisitive, and he will acknowledge your greeting, even if it is with only a nod or a grunt. Be patient.
Dear Annie: I read the letter from Confused Employee, the 18-year-old woman whose husband-and-wife bosses want them to take photographs of themselves every day to compete for a $100 gift certificate for "best dressed."
You dropped the ball on this one. I don't think this has anything to do with a dress code. It's just creepy. If the bosses want the staff to dress better, they should have a meeting and say so. It sounds more like the bosses want lots of pictures of pretty girls to look at. What is he going to do with those photographs? Will they appear online? Are they going to be Photoshopped with a girl's head on someone else's naked body?
If I were a parent and my daughter told me that the boss was requiring daily photos, I'd be down at that coffee shop so fast it'd make his head spin. Once those pictures are taken, anything can happen to them. -- Creeped-Out Mom
Dear Mom: Dozens of readers were also "creeped out" that this husband and wife wanted photos of these young women. This is a questionable and worrisome request, even if the motives are simply to see who is best dressed. There are better ways to achieve that.

|Spinach, Lentil, & Potato + Carrot Sambusa
|Yatkilt Watt
|Veggie Combo with Injera Bread
There is also a special dish on the vegetarian menu which I have never tried. It is the shimbra assa. It is chick pea dough that is formed to look like fish watt (stew). There is also the tofu tibs which is grilled tofu with vegetables in a sauce. I'm usually way too full for dessert, but I believe all the desserts have honey in them.

I give Ethiopian Diamond a 4.5/5 stars. They loose half a star because it can be really busy sometimes and the wait staff suffers in service. If you get the chance to try Ethiopian food, I strongly recommend it! It is one of my favorite types of food, for sure.
ETA: Oddly enough, I decided to use my Groupon I had for Demera last night (was going to Drew's Eatery, but it has sadly closed). We had the veggie sampler sambusa which were spinach and lentil. They were more flaky than the ones at Ethiopian Diamond and the sauce was spicier. Overall, I think I liked Demera's more. The entree was similar to what I get at Ethiopian Diamond - a mix of six different dishes with a salad in the middle. I finally had shimbra assa! I really loved it. Definitely a fan. Overall, I prefer Ethiopian Diamond's entree dishes to Demera. The ones at Ethiopian Diamond are much more flavorful and robust. The salad dressing is better there too (I really like salads!). It wasn't bad by any means, just comparing the two, I did not prefer it. The Groupon came with a dessert, so we had a dessert sambusa. Be warned it comes with raspberry sauce and a load of white chocolate sauce and whipped cream which I didn't realize. I was told the sambusa was vegan, so I had a few bites of it with raspberry sauce. It was also very flaky like the appetizer sambusa's. It was filled with an almond paste type thing which was the perfect amount of sweet. I give Demera a 3.5/5 stars. If Ethiopian Diamond is super busy (which it tends to be on a weekend night) and you don't want to drive all the way to the Howard stop, I would check out Demera. Plus, The Green Mill is just across the way. Love that place!
Also, I stopped by Tai Nam Market last night after I wrote about how many mock meat options they sell in my previous post. Wow, Yelp was right! They had three freezers full of all kinds of faux meat. Be warned, some of it has eggs and whey powder in it. So, not everything is vegan, though it is vegetarian. I ended up getting a bunch of things because weird mock meats kind of make my laugh and hey, it's vegan. I got "chicken", "pork", and "shrimp". They also had vegan pork belly, salted fish fillets, tuna slices, etc. It is worth going there just to check out the crazy selection they have. Vegan mutton, anyone? It's there.

Autumn's last
As Alabama's autumn comes to an end. The main deciduous forest bloom is over, now the show will be focused on the shrub trees as they lose color, now we look forward to the greys of winter.

The leaf drop was early this year, but thereis still going to be a show for the next couple of weeks
exacerbation may refer to an increase in the severity of a disease or its signs and symptoms. For example, an exacerbation of asthma might occur as a serious effect of air pollution, leading to shortness of breath.
Soil is the mixture of minerals, organic matter, gases, liquids, and the countless organisms that together support life on earth. Soil is a natural body known as the pedosphere and which performs four important functions: it is a medium for plant growth; it is a means of water storage, supply and purification; it is a modifier of the atmosphere of Earth; it is a habitat for organisms; all of which, in turn, modify the soil. -Wikipedia

In the continuing saga of:
Autumn Bloom
shades of gold
So many shades of gold
Another miracle we take for granted
Another expression of the artist's vision
The blending of the autumn hues
with the setting sun
Thank you for autumn, Lord
Prayer of St Francis of Assisi
"Lord, make me a channel of thy peace - that where there is hatred, I may bring love - that where there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness - that where there is discord, I may bring harmony - that where there is error, I may bring truth - that where there is doubt, I may bring faith - that where there is despair, I may bring hope - that where there are shadows, I may bring light - that where there is sadness, I may bring joy. Lord, grant that I may seek rather to comfort than to be comforted - to understand, than to be understood - to love, than to be loved. For it is by self-forgetting that one finds. It is by forgiving that one is forgiven. It is by dying that one awakens to Eternal Life. Amen."

Being in the woods is a moving experience :- )
Alabama Autumn
Autumn comes late to Alabama. We are just starting to see good color, the leaf drop is low, so We should be in full bloom by next weekend or the first couple of weeks of November.
Autumn Colors
Autumn leaves in October (Europe)
Autumn leaf color is a phenomenon that affects the normally green leaves of many deciduous trees and shrubs by which they take on, during a few weeks in the autumn season, various shades of red, yellow, purple, black, orange, pink, magenta, blue and brown.
The reds of autumn in Alabama are especially deep and strong, painting the scenery with it's magic along with the yellows, oranges, browns and greens all make for a great time of year.

Yellow /ˈjɛloʊ/ is the color of gold, butter, and ripe lemons. In the spectrum of visible light, and in the traditional color wheel used by painters, yellow is found between green and orange. It is a primary color in subtractive color, used in color printing, along with cyan, magenta, and black.
According to surveys in Europe and the United States, yellow is the color people most often associate with amusement, optimism, gentleness, and spontaneity, but also with duplicity, envy, jealousy, avarice, and, in the U.S., with cowardice. It plays an important role in Asian culture, particularly in China, where it is seen as the color of happiness, glory, wisdom, harmony and culture.
God's Love
Matthew 5:43-47 New Life Version (NLV)
Jesus Teaches about Loving Those Who Hate You
43 "You have heard that it has been said, 'You must love your neighbor and hate those who hate you.' 44 But I tell you, love those who hate you. (*Respect and give thanks for those who say bad things to you. Do good to those who hate you.) Pray for those who do bad things to you and who make it hard for you. 45 Then you may be the sons of your Father Who is in heaven. His sun shines on bad people and on good people. He sends rain on those who are right with God and on those who are not right with God. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward can you expect from that? Do not even the tax-gatherers do that? 47 If you say hello only to the people you like, are you doing any more than others? The people who do not know God do that much.
God's loving-kindness
Psalm 89:1
[ God's Promise to David ] I will sing of the loving-kindness of the Lord forever. I will make known with my mouth how faithful You are to all people.
God's Peace
Jude 2 New Life Version (NLV)
2 May you have much of God's loving-kindness and peace and love.
the wedding photographer
Many fantasize about becoming professional wedding photographers. When you see rock-star photographers, their glamorous lives, their cool hair and fast cars, you perhaps do not see the hours, days, weeks and years of hard and thankless work that got their stars a-rockin'. That's understandable. And when you realize that many of the actual photographs produced by these top producers are not, in fact, much better than yours, it looks that much more appealing. But looks can be deceiving.
The Digital Concert Hall of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra is a user-friendly active web site which stores and offers (rsp. transmits on demand) the concerts of the Berlin philharmonic orchestra to users, for passive participation with the concert quasi-online on the orchestra's stage. This is of course liable to pay costs, but these are moderate, although the quality of the transmitted concerts is very high.
The transmission is per livestreaming on a high-definition video basis.
All the leaves are brown
All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
I've been for a walk
On a winter's day
I'd be safe and warm
If I was in L. A.

First manned fligh
The first clearly recorded instance of a balloon carrying passengers used hot air to generate buoyancy and was built by the brothers Joseph-Michel and Jacques-Etienne Montgolfier in Annonay, France. After experimenting with unmanned balloons and flights with animals, the first tethered balloon flight with humans on board took place on October 19, 1783 with the scientist Jean-François Pilâtre de Rozier, the manufacture manager, Jean-Baptiste Réveillon and Giroud de Villette, at the Folie Titon in Paris. The first free flight with human passengers was on November 21, 1783. King Louis XVI had originally decreed that condemned criminals would be the first pilots, but de Rozier, along with Marquis Francois d'Arlandes, successfully petitioned for the honor. - Wikipedia
"For 6,000 years, these rules have been unquestionably right. And yet we break them every day. People feel that something is wrong in life. There is some kind of atmosphere that makes people now turn to other values. They want to contemplate the basic questions of life."

angels appearances
According to modern reports, angelic visitations come in a variety of forms. In some cases, a stranger prevents serious injury or death and then mysteriously disappears. In other cases, a winged or white-clothed being is seen momentarily and is then gone. The person who sees the angel is often left with a feeling of peace and assurance of God's presence.

Washington Week
Washington, D.C., formally the District of Columbia and commonly referred to as "Washington", "the District", or simply "D.C.", is the capital of the United States. The signing of the Residence Act on July 16, 1790, approved the creation of a capital district located along the Potomac River on the country's East Coast. The U.S. Constitution provided for a federal district under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Congress and the District is therefore not a part of any U.S. state.

NSA Dissident
A dissident, broadly defined, is a person who actively challenges an established doctrine, policy, or institution. When dissidents unite for a common cause they often affect a dissident movement.
The word has been used since 16th century in the context of religion. The noun was first used in the political sense in 1940, with the rise of such totalitarian systems as the Soviet Union.

I think many people confuse the two words and the confusion is where the "hostility" arises.
There is rescue (the verb) and a rescue (the noun). I wouldn't buy another dog the way I did this one, but if I saw a dog at a mill that I could purchase for $200 because he wasn't cute enough anymore, you better believe I would consider my act a "rescue" from his awaiting fate. (lets assume my dog would be tolerant of him, etc.).
Does that make sense?

Robert Griffin III can rest easy. His offseason will include no uncertainty about his place in the Washington Redskins landscape.
Gruden's move from Cincy to Washington D.C. greatly impacts Robert Griffin III and Andy Dalton. READ
Jay Gruden -- introduced Thursday as the team's new coach -- left no room for misinterpretation during an interview with a local radio station.
"Robert Griffin III is the starter," he told WJFK-FM. "There will be no competition."
Gruden said during his news conference he'd yet to meet with Griffin, an acknowledgment that threw cold water on any theories that the quarterback played a key role in identifying Mike Shanahan's replacement.
NFL Media's Jeff Darlington reported that Griffin was not directly involved with the process, but the team believes Gruden fits the quarterback well.
Had Gruden lapsed into CoachSpeak® on Thursday, we'd all be doomed to a summer of RGIII versus Kirk Cousins analysis. It would be the worst.
Instead, Gruden gave us the straight (and logical) answer. He then bought pizza for the dozens of reporters who will be covering his every move in Washington. Jay Gruden was on fire.
