Along with the pub and the bookmaker, the barber shop is part of a triumvirate of establishments upon which the edifice of the British male is founded. It recalls a time before men's style magazines began to bombard their hundreds of thousands of readers with grooming tips. It is a monument to a time when a haircut was just that, a perfunctory no-nonsense quarter of an hour, during which excess locks were trimmed. A haircut was not a fashion statement, nor even an event on which much thought was lavished. It was just something that was done as a matter of course, like checking the oil and water before a long journey in the Morris Oxford or paying a visit to the dentist in the event of a toothache.
Indeed, the surroundings in which the barber worked often evoked a feeling of surgical efficiency. At its most highly developed, the decorative tempo of the deco barbershop is best characterised as "camped-up operating theatre": walls panelled with Vitrolite, chunks of coloured marble, cabinets of stainless steel, reflective glass, chromium trim everywhere, Buck Rogers- style light fittings suspended from the ceiling and, of course, those chairs that conspired to make even the seating arrangements in the dentist's consulting room seem anorexic. The clinical rather than cosmetic heritage of the barber shop is still evoked today with the prominently displayed, imposing glass and metal canisters of the azure-blue antiseptic Barbicide.
Even the pricing structure was frill-free: one paid for what one wanted. To have the haircut dry was the base price; a wash incurred an increment in the price as did such extras as singeing with a hot taper or the application of such invigorating tonics as "friction".
To describe a visit to the barber as a male ritual or a rite of passage would perhaps be overstating its importance, but it was a part of male life. A visit to one of the men's outfitters that dominated the nation's high streets for much of this century was not complete without a visit to the barber shop.
Depending on the pretensions of the outfitter, the barber would range from the extravagance of Austin Reed on Regent Street in London to the discreet labyrinthine charm of Walters on the Turl of Oxford.
For boys, the end of a school holiday would be marked by a visit to the barber, whose precise efforts would soon be marred by the itinerant school barber, invariably a man with a limp or a leg iron, who, with his apprentices, would butcher dozens of schoolboy heads before lunch.
The barber shop has endured the onslaught of everything from the rise of the unisex salon to the vogue for holding mousse and styling gel with an attitude best described as curmudgeonly pluckiness. It seems to revel in its grumpy, manly archaism.
Time, however, does not stand completely still, even in a barber shop; it accretes. Trends wash over the barber shop and, when they recede, they leave behind them traces of their flotsam. The Vitrolite may now be showing its age. The chrome is perhaps slightly pitted.
Electrification has led to a grudging switch from hand-operated clippers to electric ones. Black and white photographs depicting hairstyles seemingly selected at random from any time in the past four decades hang on parts of the wall in a vain attempt to persuade customers to look like, say, Mike Barlow in Coronation Street circa 1976. There may even be some remaining shreds of vintage advertising paraphernalia urging the purchase of Durex condoms or Cossack Hairspray.
But whatever the superficial trimmings, there is a feeling that the whole style of the barber shop is underpinned by a grudging refusal to compromise too much: a quality that is quintessentially British

One of the best things about last year's writers' strike is it forced the networks to take a few chances with programming, thus giving offbeat series like Eli Stone a shot they might not have gotten in a more traditional TV season. A show about a corporate lawyer who, due to a brain aneurysm that gives him hallucinations, may or may not be a prophet most likely would have disappeared after a few episodes in an ordinary season. That's assuming it would have even been aired in the first place.
Eli Stone did air, though as a "mid-season replacement" in the heat of the writers' strike, premiering Thursday 31 January 2008 at 10P EST, and maintaining that slot through a 13-episode run that ended 17 April 2008. It wasn't a ratings juggernaut in that run (then again, what was?) but it attracted a following substantial enough to secure it a second season on the new ABC fall schedule. (Premieres 14 October, 9p EST.)
Watching the DVD release of Eli Stone: The Complete First Season, it's easy to understand why ABC picked the series up for a second season. Imagine all those Frank Capra movies you grew up with placed into a 21st century context, where good guys don't always win in the end, put in the requisite romance, add a few musical numbers and ratchet it up a bit with some cool CGI effects, and you have a reasonable backdrop for the series. What really makes it compelling, though, is that beneath all that razzmatazz, Eli Stone touches a universal core of the human heart.
Rather than produce yet another courtroom procedural, creators Greg Berlanti and Marc Guggenheim opted to utilize the setting as a larger stage in the quest for self-realization. When we first meet Eli Stone (Jonny Lee Miller), he's a cutthroat trial lawyer on the fast track, devoid of any semblance of conscience. That's before he sees George Michael performing in his kitchen at a most inopportune time. It's a hallucination, of course, brought on by an undiagnosed brain aneurysm. It could be something more, according to his acupuncturist — he could be receiving these visions as divine inspiration, and may, in fact, be a prophet.
Prophetic visions or not, Stone's hallucinations usually have a bearing on his current case, and often his personal life. That they happen to usually include Broadway-class musical numbers is merely incidental. And that his concept of God bears an uncanny resemblance to George Michael shows that the series never takes itself gravely seriously. Unlike antecedents such as Ally McBeal or Cop Rock, the show intertwines Stone's musical hallucinations in such a way they actually enhance what might be an otherwise dry plot. Since we share his hallucinations (or are they prophetic visions?), we relate to his plights, whether it's taking on unlikely cases, sacrificing his true love for the greater good or dealing with the pesky anomaly that may kill him at any given moment.
Eli Stone: The Complete First Season is a rarity among TV series DVDs. Largely because the season plays out as a series of mini-movies minimally linked by ongoing plot threads, each of the thirteen episodes stand on their own as stories unto themselves. They're dramatic without being preachy, comedic without falling back on pratfalls, and touch on mortality without being morose. The acting and direction are superb, especially for a show that was a mid-season replacement in the heat of the writers' strike. Think of it as a courtroom procedural if directed by Terry Gilliam, where fantasy and reality play out on the same canvas.
Unlike a lot of TV boxed sets, Eli Stone has the aura of a labor of love. It's presented in 1.78:1 aspect and Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound, and the reproduction is crystalline. Of course, there are bonus features, including the obligatory bloopers and deleted scenes. Thankfully, this set also has features that actually enhance the viewing experience, including pieces on how and why the show was created in the first place, an explanation of the Eli Stone-George Michael connection, a shot on how the CGI effects figured into the story and a look at the economy of the sets, hosted by co-star Natasha Henstridge. There's an extended pilot episode with audio commentary by the show's creators.
Season two promises to open a new chapter in the ongoing story of Eli Stone. Regardless of how that goes, Eli Stone: The Complete First Season stand on its own as a hallmark in the evolution of television. It manages to be a quiet spiritual journey of one man without slipping into the abyss of religiosity. As such, it opens new avenues of conversation. And it does so with a smile and a wink.

(We think.) And no one in Dallas gives a shit! (Which actually might be true.) Ah, but when you've won just one playoff game in 16 years—and counting!—it's probably not a good idea to throw shade at one of your neighbors the way the Dallas Cowboys did on Twitter yesterday morning: Shots fired! The Cowboys' tweet was eventually deleted and replaced with an apology. The Stars weren't just going to stand there and take this, though. Oh, no. A full 24 hours after that initial dig, they finally came up with a witty comeback:See! Tony Romo's a loser! That's Mike Modano! With the Stanley Cup! From 14 years ago!

SHOE SALESMAN'S WIFE MAKES RECORD: Of course, anyone writing about Kathy Sagal's new record will be thinking "Peggy Bundy makes cuts disc", which is the reason why she's waited ten years to follow up her debut. It's doubly unfair, because not only is it trapping her in a character, but it's trapping her in the wrong character - she's got much more in common with her other great creation, Leela, from Futurama. Apart from having more eyes, of course.
Of course, we're sure the decision to resurrect the recording career is in no way related to the shady future of her current sitcom, Eight Simple Rules...

Parise and Suter pick Wild
Posted by TimS on Wed, 07/04/2012 - 12:41
It turned out Zach Parise and Ryan Suter were a package deal.
Parise and Suter, the two best free agents on the market, surprised the hockey world on Wednesday by signing contracts with the Minnesota Wild.
The Blackhawks had made an offer to Parise.
Both deals are worth $98 million over 13 years, carrying an average annual value of $7.538 million.
"This is a great day in the history of the Minnesota Wild," said Wild GM Chuck Fletcher. "We are extremely excited to add the collective skill, experience and character of Zach Parise and Ryan Suter to an already promising roster. We view this as a rare opportunity for us to transform our franchise by adding two marquee players, who are both in the prime of their careers, at the same time."

Welcome to a blog about my not-so-little obsessions, including make up, nail polish, books, music and travelling. :)
Friday, 27 January 2012
Paket Petek
Oh yes, another Package Friday! You know I'm loving those! This time more make up, less about nails. I've decided I'll clear my secret WL a bit and since I went crazy with eye make up since I got the brushes, I of course wanted to clear my WL of EL. This is what I got in my mailbox on Tuesday:
Licila.si had a cool offer, when you bought for a certain amount of money, you got a present and you could choose which one too! Awesome! I picked the Konad plate and I can't wait to use it. :))
4 Beauty UK eyeliners, two pearl, two metallic sparks. I blame the gorgeous Nihrida for those. I think her review on Beauty UK Pearl eyeliners was a bit revolutionary for me. When I watched that smudge test the room got full of strange light and you could hear a distant heavenly 'AaaAAaaAAaahh'. I wanted them. Right in that moment, in my hands. Imagine my happiness when I discovered licila.si holds the Beauty UK brand. Yes!! I've ordered three right away and they are in all meanings of the word pure Perfection. No faults. So I knew it's only a matter of time before I order more. This time Oceania and Purple Haze, Oceania being my wild card. That's also why I was drawn to it the most and tried it out right away. I just might created my favourite look of all times with it. It's SO gorgeous!!
Anyway. When I also saw another fantastic review made by Nihrida (not to mention the eye looks!) on Metallic Sparks my list got a bit long. And even now they had the Bronze one out of stock. *sad sigh* Oh well, I have an excuse for another order, hehe. Right now I got Green and Purple. Yum! Wearing mostly black really pays off. You can have every colour on your eyes and nails and still it's not too much. :D
Colour wheel I picked for my green shimmer comparison. I don't have the time to do another big comparison on my nails, so I decided I'll try the famous nail wheel, to spot the dupes.
Are you a fan of EL? Do you prefer gel, liquid or pencil? :) And what was in your latest package?
Thank you for reading!

Doesn't sound like a bad idea. If you're talking about that triangle thing that the front wheel goes in, would 2 of these fit underneath?
Something like this from Walmart
When I bought mine, they had them in the automotive section and the fitness section. The automotive ones were half the price for what appeared to be the exact same thing with different packaging.

Microsoft wanted 600 applications filling its Windows Marketplace for Mobile on its first day of release, Oct. 6. The idea was to give Windows Mobile 6.5, its smartphone operating system debuting on the same day, a sizable ecosystem with which to begin challenging Palm, Apple, Research In Motion and other players in the mobile-device space.
That didn't happen–but Microsoft can claim that the applications present for download represent a broad swath of functionality for the majority of users.
"Microsoft is pleased today to introduce 246 quality mobile applications initially in Windows Marketplace for work and play, with more than 753 ISVs (independent software vendors) worldwide on board to continue building out the catalog," the company wrote in an Oct. 6 statement.
Specifically, the available applications include Facebook, MySpace, Netflix, Twikini, WunderRadio, and Zagat, as well as games like Sudoku and Pac-Man.
Some other interesting details about the phones emerged during a presentation by Robbie Bach, president of Microsoft's Entertainment & Devices (E&D) Division, at Microsoft's Open House event in New York:
- Microsoft is planning on having 30 new phones running Mobile 6.5 by the end of 2009. (For the Oct. 6 launch, a handful of phones manufactured by HTC, Sony Ericsson and LG Electronics will be among those with the operating system installed.)
- Redmond has emphasized filling Marketplace, with "hundreds of applications" potentially coming soon.
- Users can re-download purchased applications up to five times. A useful feature in case your computer unexpectedly decides to fry.
- Mobile 6.5 brings the cloud to the forefront of the phone experience. The My Phone feature enables users to back up their files, simplifying the restore process if they lose their smartphones. Coolest feature: If users misplace their phones nearby, they can sign online and force the device to ring loudly for 60 seconds, even if it had previously been set on silent or vibrate.
My colleague Jeff Cogswell has already tested Windows Mobile 6.5 on the AT&T Pure–his review can be found here. Microsoft is rolling the dice big-time on whether it can succeed in the mobile operating-system space; and while some have doubts that it will be able to substantially eat into the market-share of other smartphones on the market, they at least seem off to a relatively robust start.

Written by Anthony Moujaes
Armenians know it as "Meds Yeghern," which in their language means "The Calamity."
In other parts of the world, the event is known by a much more somber name: The Armenian Genocide.
This year will mark the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide in Anatolia (modern-day Turkey), an event ingrained into the deep history of the United Church of Christ.
"Our history is deeply intertwined with Armenian Christians, not only with the genocide, which was a tragic moment in history, but also with the relationship we celebrate with the Armenian Evangelical community," said Peter Makari, Global Ministries executive for the Middle East and Europe. "It's one of our longest relationships."
On April 24, 1915, in what is now Istanbul, Ottoman authorities arrested approximately 250 Armenian intellectuals and community leaders, beginning the systematic extermination of 1.5 million Armenians, Syrian Orthodox and other minority communities, and the displacement of another 1 million people.
The UCC's long-standing history of working with Armenians dates back to the early-1800s. Missionaries of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, the original name of the UCC Wider Church Ministries, worked primarily with the Armenian community in Anatolia for a century, opening schools and orphanages, establishing hospitals, and preaching the Gospel. Beginning in 1915, they witnessed and documented the atrocities, and advocated for an end to the massacres to local and international officials. Missionaries also raised funds for Armenians who were suffering and those who resettled, mainly in northern Syria.
"Congregational missionaries throughout the 19th century worked with the Armenian community," Makari said. "Many of our missionaries advocated for the U.S. government to do more [in response to the atrocities] and save the Armenian community."
Today, the UCC and the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), through their shared work in Global Ministries, continue their relationships with Armenian Christians in the Middle East, North America and elsewhere. The UCC maintains a close relationship with the Armenian Missionary Association of America—welcoming two executives to the UCC's national offices in Cleveland this week—and the Union of Armenian Evangelicals in the Near East.
"Because of our longstanding relationships in Christ—in Anatolia, in the Middle East, and in Armenia—the United Church of Christ and Global Ministries have much to appreciate in partnership with Armenian Evangelicals," Makari said. "With the Union and the AMAA, we share a special bond of history, of concern for peace and justice in the world, of compassion and care for God's people, and a faith in God that our participation in God's mission can effect positive change."
The AMAA was founded in 1918, in Worcester, Mass., and is now headquartered in New Jersey. Its purpose is to serve the physical and spiritual needs of people everywhere. To fulfill that mission, the AMAA maintains a range of educational, evangelistic, relief, social service, and church and child care ministries in 24 countries around the world.
"When we get together, we discuss how we can utilize funds to help Armenians," said Levon Filian, AMAA West Coast executive director. "We share our prayers, our challenges and our success stories."
Politically, the Republic of Turkey doesn't recognize that a genocide against the Armenians took place during World War I, and dismisses evidence about the calamities as mere allegations. That has made recognition of the Armenian Genocide an issue of international significance. However, there is more and more space for discussion and debate in Turkey today about this period in history.
"It takes courage to acknowledge the genocide," said Zaven Khanjian, executive director of the AMAA. "Even though it is totally documented in the archives of the U.S. State Department, in churches in America, and universities all over the world, it puts organizations who acknowledge it above politics."
In recent years, with the growth of ISIS in large areas of Syria and Iraq, the AMAA has shifted its attention and some of its resources to the Middle East. The UCC provides some of those resources to the AMAA through the Donchian Fund, a foundation established in 1919 in the will of John B. Donchian, which the UCC now administers. The average spendable income from the fund in the last 10 years has been approximately $175,020.
The past precedent was to allocate about 75 percent of the Donchian funds for relief in Armenia, and the remaining 25 percent for Armenian ministry in the Middle East. This year, Filian said, the AMAA board felt it needed to "take care of our kin in Syria," and plans to split the funds 50-50.
"What is happening today in Syria is reminiscent of 'The Calamity' a century ago," Filian said. "Certainly the global Armenian community is in solidarity with them, trying to help them and provide basic needs. But the devastation is huge."
For the 100th commemoration of the genocide, the AMAA will pay its respects to the victims who lost their lives.
"That respect is on the top of the list," Khanjian said. "Then comes the follow-up of justice, for recognition by the perpetrators—the heirs of Ottoman Empire who occupy Turkey. But justice doesn't end there, because the Armenian Genocide differs from other genocides. Not only were lives lost and destroyed, but a whole homeland was lost, and this magnifies the tragedy. Wherever Armenians have gone, they have prospered, built, exposed our culture, been good citizens and collaborated with indigenous people."
Added Filian, "We are having political, cultural and religious activities, seminars, construction of monuments worldwide. The major concentration of that will be in Armenia, the U.S., Lebanon, France and Greece. In May, there will be a national ecumenical commemoration in Washington, D.C."
Makari said the UCC will send a public letter of solidarity to its Armenian partners on April 24.
Wider Church Ministries is also asking the General Synod to adopt a resolution this June to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide that would bolster the current work with Armenian partners and serve as an expression of solidarity.
"I applaud the United Church of Christ for taking a stand for what is true, what is right," Filian said. "That in itself is a statement we commend."
For more resources on how congregations and members can observe the 100th anniversary of "Meds Yeghern" on April 24, visit the Presbyterian Church (USA) website.

So, I already told you I don't like cupcakes, except to color. Well marshmallows are a different story. I'm not like my youngest son, Brendan, who would eat a handful of marshmallows plain if I let him but I do like toasted marshmallows (burnt!) and I like melty marshmallows in my hot chocolate. But my favorite marshmallows are these adorable Marshmallow Snowmen from Bugaboo! This one is called Snowflakes.
I made this card for the Bah Humbug challenge which is "walking in a winter wonderland" this week.

Chris Turley
"It was a very even game. These two teams have grown up together, and I think they really bring out the best in each other."
"We played well, but it's a learning experience to see what Division I hockey is like. We now know what it is like at the next level."
"Some games you need to use as learning tools. They pass the puck well, shoot it and play good hockey. It's good for our girls to see that. There's a lot to learn from a team like that."
"We have come to look at this as a building year. Next year, we hope to be a contender."
"Hope is a solid defense person. She's got a very long reach that messes up a lot of forwards that are coming down. She played well tonight. Everyone played well on defense."
"To win a play off game in a first year program is spectacular."
"It was nerves. As soon as they got the puck on the stick, they were trying to get rid of it instead of skating with it or trying to set up a play."
"She plays defense, but we gave her the green light to decided when she thought she could take it up and take the shot as well as be back on defense if she had too. She did a great job of covering both ends of the ice. Her stamina is incredible."

Just So Stories By Rudyard Kipling
The Just So Stories were
written by British author Rudyard Kipling. They are among his best known,
and arguably best, works.
The stories, first published in 1902, are fantastic accounts of how various natural phenomena came about. A forerunner of these stories is "How Fear Came" in The Second Jungle Book (1895), in which Mowgli hears the story of how the tiger got his stripes.

Koruna Dives as Czech Central Bank Intervenes
Move Comes as Inflation Has Been Running Way Behind the Central Bank's 2% Target
The Czech central bank slammed its currency lower with an aggressive foreign-exchange intervention strategy, using new tools to try and boost moribund inflation while standard monetary policy is exhausted.
The Czech National Bank had been warning for a year that it may weaken the koruna as it seeks to prop up economic growth while interest rates are close to zero.
On Thursday, despite a stabilization in the country's weak...

Dancing with the dragon
January 15, 2010 at 2:00 am thinkingshift 2 comments
No doubt you've been reading about the fracas going on between Google and the Chinese Government. If not, go here for a quick run-down.
What are the Chinese after I wonder. Is it just hacking into the Gmail accounts of Chinese human-rights activists? Or are they after something far juicier like Google's immense databases and archives and all the information about you and me?
Professor Roger Clarke (Australian consultant and advisor on privacy and dataveillance issues) was interviewed in Crikey and I found what he had to say about Google a bit chilling:
"It's got all of your search-terms. And it's got what you clicked on while you've been on Google pages. It's got a list of pretty much every ad you ever clicked on. It's got any emails that you sent to Gmail users. It's got what people sent to you from Gmail accounts. It's got the correspondence that you exchanged with people who, unbeknown to you, flush all of their mail from other accounts through Gmail. It's got every posting that you've sent, since about 2004, to every email-list that you're on (because at least one person on every list uses Gmail). All of that data is directly related to you because of the email-addresses, IP-addresses and personal names contained in all of that traffic.
That's reinforced by its use of your email-address as your login id for Google services, and a suite of cookies that are common across all services. If you're a Google addict, it may also have every location that you ever typed into Google Maps, and every Streetview you ever displayed. And you may have even gifted it your photo collection, and a copy of your own disk-files.
So Google is in a position to mine from its holdings: your online behaviour; your economic and social interests, your political views, your network of contacts and your close associates".
So what's the drama you say? Well, what happens when all this juicy data about you falls into the hands of an authoritarian government? Think about that for a moment.
I would applaud Google for threatening to shut down their operations in China and refusing to continue with self-censorship if I thought they were doing so by taking a stand on censorship or human rights violation. I've always thought Google was in violation of Article 19 of the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights by censoring searches or blocking websites to keep the Chinese dudes happy. Google isn't admitting that their hissy fit goes beyond the suggestion that Chinese hackers attacked Gmail accounts of human rights activists. But why the hissy fit now when Google's been dancing with the Chinese and self-censoring for a few years ? Why the sudden throwing down of the gauntlet to the Chinese over censorship and cyber attacks? I'm sure Google hasn't just woken up to the fact that they were dealing with the Chinese and not the neutral Swiss!
There are mutterings that Google is using cyber-terrorism and censorship as a smokescreen to get the hell out of China and extract itself from business failings there. The Chinese market is dominated by the search giant, Baidu, with Google only having a 30% share of China's $1 billion search market.
Is Google really living up to its "don't be evil" motto by going up against the Chinese dragon? Does it really believe that the Chinese government will bow down to a US company?
Call me cynical but I think with questions being asked about Google's plans to digitise millions of books; Google being criticised in several European countries over Street View and invasion of privacy; and data security concerns over its cloud computing apps – well, frankly Google could do with a good news story of being seen to take the high moral ground. It will be interesting to see how this plays out for Google and what will it mean for US-China relations?

Quite a good analysis of the situation. I would add we have more to fear from the U.S. government legislating its right to the information about us in Google's vast repositories than from it falling into the hands of the Chinese government via hacking. The Chinese government is primarily interested in two things: 1) discrediting those people (particularly its citizens) that it believes are agains it, 2) blocking access other citizens have to what the former group is saying. Google is, like almost every foreign firm that has tried to operate in China since 1850, disappointed in its results to-date. Its Chinese CEO just left to form his own company. As you point out, revenue is not good and overall usage is not expanding rapidly. This sounds like almost any foreign company in China for its first 20 years of existence. Google needs to suck it up and go for the long road or simply leave it all to Yahoo and Baidu. I agree, this is more of a PR exercise rather than a real crises of faith for Google.
Hi Kim
I like a good conspiracy theory as much as the next person, but is Professor Clarke stating these things as fact, with the added gravitas of his title making us take them seriously, or is it just fear mongering?
It's certainly not what Google says they do here http://www.google.com/privacy_faq.html
which is to anonymise IP addresses after 9 months, cookies after 18 months. They're vague about what they do with email.Just thinking about it from a processing, matching and storage point of view, it would be a massive and expensive undertaking on all levels, from processing power to storage. So big that it would be impossible to keep secret I'm sure, Not to mention programming… it's hard enough just to get decent semantic matching on a single website… and if someone had managed to do it with all the world's data that would be quite some feat. It'd need to be continually developed (last year, for example, everyone started Twittering) with thousands of programmers.
So, that'd be quite the investment, and quite the big secret. The question you'd have to ask is… why? And unless you go down the path of Google being some kind of dark and evil corporation bent on world domination (pinky to mouth, bwaaa haaaa ha), or a puppet for a political system with those aims, then you're stuck asking why.
No doubt our relationship with corporate interests is a double-edged sword, and our mothers would have said "put down the sword, you're going to cut yourself or poke an eye out". By digitising books, you might one day be able to access stuff available only in the dusty reserve section of a library in Boston, or Berlin. Or scan some vast 7 volume set to instantly locate a phrase you're looking for. But we all know that at some stage you're going to need to have your credit card handy if you want to do that. The gap between the haves and have-nots of information is going to widen. The publishing industry in all its levels is going to undergo a siesmic shift. We'll have new conspiracy theories to worry about (is information being filtered? is someone shaping what we see?)
No doubt there's a lot to worry about, and we should all be watching like hawks. It's getting harder and harder to live off the grid though. I assume now that everything I do is to some extent "public information" and the only way I can think to cope with that is to keep it in mind, and not do anything I'd be ashamed to have associated with my name. It's not ideal, but barring evil military dictatorships taking over the world and mining my data for "subversion" of some type far outside of current norms, it's the best I can do.
=) Marc

1701August: Sauvolle, the French governor at Biloxi, dies of a fever. The hot summer months of 1700 and 1701 had claimed the lives of many settlers. Bienville assumes charge over the 150 survivors. December: Iberville returns from France with more colonists and supplies, but he informs the men who had remained in Biloxi that the colony had to be relocated to Mobile Bay so that they would be nearer their new Spanish allies at Pensacola in anticipation of a coming war with England. Bienville, therefore, went to Mobile Bay to oversee the building of Fort Louis. The Biloxi settlement is not to be abandoned, though it is badly neglected.

EFF in the News
We visit Ferrari, take over Times Square, check out the Grid 10, and talk patents with the EFF
The EFF said the legal tactic amounted to an abuse of the legal system.
'The intent of these lawsuits is to get peoples' identifying information and attempt to extort settlements out of them,' said Corynne McSherry, EFF's intellectual property director.
"Will the criminal case help them? Absolutely," says Hanni Fakhoury, a staff attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation who's a former federal public defender. "They're going to learn a lot more about what happened."
But critics, led by the San Francisco-based Electronic Frontier Foundation, say the industry is abusing the court system by casting a wide net that ends with menacing letters to embarrassed targets who'd rather cut a check than fight back and be identified in court as someone who may have downloaded porn.
Well, certainly now that the BART officials have tipped their hand and shown a willingness to engage in this kind of censorship, protesters can come prepared with ways to circumvent it, but at the time it simply hadn't occurred to anybody that they would do that.
The one thing that really caught my attention was in response to a question about PROTECT IP asked by EFF lawyer Michael Barclay. Goodlatte noted, correctly, that the current PROTECT IP bill being discussed is the one in the Senate, and that the House has yet to introduce its version, but will in the next few weeks.
Jillian York: 'While these things did happen on very different scales, the intent was the same, to shut down speech in light of protests. We are looking at this as precedent, as a slippery slope. And I, I do fear that this is something we're going to be seeing a lot more often.'
...in the world of First Amendment law or free speech law, that's called a prior restraint. And it's the most - it's the gravest and most serious encroachment on speech rights, worse than, say, punishing speech after the fact.
"If you have to pay $12.5 billion dollars to play, you can sense why maybe an individual who has a great idea would feel discouraged," said Julie Samuels, a patent lawyer with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a technology-oriented civil liberties group. "It affects the whole economy."
But the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF)'s Rebecca Jeschke tells Fast Company that, "It's a First Amendment problem when a government agency takes it upon itself to prevent people from being able to speak. This was a broad prior restraint on the communications of BART riders. It didn't just affect demonstrators--it affected everyone."

A new kind of anger is striking stressed-out Americans: sidewalk rage. Signs include muttering around others or bumping into them, hogging a walking lane, or glaring with a hostile "mean face," according to Colorado State University research cited by the Wall Street Journal. "We're trying to understand what makes people angry, what that experience is like," says Jerry Deffenbacher, a CSU prof who studies anger. The goal of the research is to help people develop coping skills, whether on a downtown street, at an airport, in a grocery store, or some other crowded place.
Could you be a rager? Perhaps, if you tend to have a strong opinion about how people should act in certain situations, such as on an escalator—for example, if you believe the left side should be left open for those who want to walk up. Problem is, everyone walks at a different pace, and that's unlikely to change.

Eye on O.C.: Helping our heroes
All decked out with American flags and bunting, the Cannery in Newport Beach looked ready for a political speech. Instead, the patriotic décor was designed to inspire guests to help veterans, but it was the speakers themselves, including actor Gary Sinise, who rallied supporters to open their hearts and their wallets for R.I.S.E. (Restoring Independence & Supporting Empowerment), an organization dedicated to helping severely wounded soldiers.
Sinise spoke of the character he played in "Forrest Gump" (1994), explaining that his devotion to the armed forces began in the '80s and kicked into high gear in 2001. "When he (Lt. Dan Taylor) talks about his destiny to either die in the field or be a great military leader, there was something to me about playing that part and being able to use that to step up and help the real Lt. Dans out there. That is my destiny, and after Sept. 11, I felt called to do something," he said.
The actor's recent success on the CBS drama "CSI: NY" enabled him to start the Gary Sinise Foundation in 2011. The nonprofit organization helps veterans in many ways, including building customized "smart homes" for disabled warriors.
Marine Cpl. Juan Dominguez, 30, a triple amputee and Purple Heart recipient, addressed the crowd, sharing his traumatic story of stepping on an improvised explosive device in Afghanistan on Oct. 23, 2010. "I saw my legs and knew I'd never walk again," he said. "I pleaded with God. 'If this is my time, please take me, it hurts so bad,'" he prayed, as he heard a voice saying morphine would be withheld because he was "too far gone."
But he recovered, and with the help of his wife, Alexis, and R.I.S.E., he has adjusted to civilian life in his specially equipped house in Temecula. "I have my castle. I have my kingdom. I have my independence back," Dominguez said.
Supporters sat rapt during speeches, applauding Sinise, Dominguez and singer Steve Amerson, and laughing while comedian and host Tom Dreesen provided a few light-hearted moments. They enjoyed a gourmet dinner of lobster salad and prime filet, and a surprise auction in which Cannery restaurateur Ron Salisbury sold ownership of the eatery and its profits for a single night – it went for $17,000.
But much of the time, guests reflected on the reason they had gathered, to help serve those who have served their country.
"My father was an Army colonel and I had never done anything to honor his memory," dinner chairwoman Margaret Larkin said of organizing the event with her fellow chairs. "I asked Sally Crockett and Ron Salisbury if they would jump on board and they did. Hopefully, this is just the beginning."

- 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup sugar
- Filling
- 1 1/2-pint container fresh raspberries

- For filling:
- Combine raspberries, 1/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons water, and lemon juice in processor. Puree until smooth.

Combine mascarpone, heavy whipping cream, vanilla, and remaining 1/4 cup sugar in another medium bowl. Using electric mixer, beat until mixture is smooth and stiff peaks form. Fold in raspberry puree. Spread filling evenly in cooled chocolate crust. Cover and refrigerate tart overnight.
- For topping:
- Arrange fresh raspberries in concentric circles atop tart. Stir raspberry preserves in heavy small saucepan over medium-low heat until melted to form glaze. Brush glaze over fresh raspberries. Refrigerate tart at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.
- Remove tart pan sides. Place tart on platter. Cut into wedges and serve.
- Test-kitchen tip:
- To make the crumbs for the crust, finely grind purchased plain chocolate wafer cookies in a processor.
- *Italian cream cheese, available at Italian markets and many supermarkets.

BRIEF-Colas stops production and sales of refined products in France
* Stops the activity of production and sales of refined products in France
* Virgin Group, Qtel launch mobile phone service in Qatar
* Service to be eighth Virgin Mobile branded operation
By Regan E. Doherty
DOHA, May 13 Virgin Group is mulling more partnerships with Qatar Telecom (Qtel) QTEL.QA in other markets after launching a new mobile service with Qtel in Qatar, its founder Richard Branson said on Thursday.
"We've got 17 other countries that Qtel is in. We said, let's test it out here in Qatar first and then move on to other markets," Branson told Reuters in an interview, declining to give further details.
"The market here is so small that it wasn't worth building our own network. But this is the start of hopefully a much larger relationship with Qtel, possibly in other countries," he added.
Virgin Mobile Qatar, launched on Thursday in a brand licensing agreement with Qtel, will offer a prepaid mobile phone service within Qtel's network combined with Virgin Mobile's "brand experience," the companies said in a statement on Thursday.
"(Qatar) is an exciting country. The youth market is enormous here - 40 percent under the age of 29, and 60 percent under 35. If you pitch yourself at the youth, a lot of people will want to be associated with that," Branson told reporters.
Qtel, which operates in 17 countries, has expanded rapidly abroad to mitigate the loss of its monopoly after Britain's Vodafone (VOD.L) VFQS.QA entered the Qatari market. The company has a 65 percent stake in Indonesia's second-biggest telecom company, PT Indosat (ISAT.JK).
Qtel chief executive officer Nasser Marafih said at the product's launch that the company will continue to focus its expansion efforts on the MENA and Southeast Asia regions.
Vodafone Qatar VFQS.QA broke Qtel's monopoly with its bid for Qatar's second mobile telephone license for $2.12 billion in 2007.
Virgin Mobile Qatar will be the eighth Virgin Mobile branded operation, following launches in Britain, Australia, United States, Canada, France, South Africa and India.
Virgin Mobile is the group's fastest-growing and most successful business, Branson said. (Editing by Jason Benham and David Cowell)

This is so great! I love the pics and how they teach the concepts of the song memorably, without a lot of words. I think the kids will be able to associate those concepts more easily (and thus remember the lyrics). I sure appreciate this.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I'm SO glad I stumbled across your blog! I've been stressing out about how I was going to teach all 3 verses of this song & your pictures are perfect! Thank-you SO much for sharing your talent with us other Music Choristers that aren't quite so artistic... And for helping us teach such a beautiful message through pictures & song!
ReplyDeleteErin, I love these drawings you do and can tell you put a lot of time and effort into them. Thank you so much for sharing with the rest of us! I have one comment about these pictures though. Is there anyway you could change the picture for "do the things I do"? My heart just sinks when I see how violent the image is and I would not feel right about showing that picture to children in my home let alone at church. I hope you understand. I'm sure you went back-and-forth on different options you could create for those lyrics. Perhaps something like taking a toy from a friend, stealing a candybar, playing a cruel trick, tripping someone, or even a little shove in the back would be less violent and perhaps more appropriate for Sunday learning. Thank you again!
ReplyDeleteRepliesYes. It came out more forceful than I wanted it but my subsequent attempts haven't been very good. i'm hoping to have a new one this week before you have to teach it.
DeleteBy the way, I must be a terrible mom, because I'd totally use this one to teach my kids at home lol. Of course, my youngest is 9, so it's not like they're Sunbeams :)
DeleteYou are too funny. I'm sure you are an awesome mom! I think the age group makes a big difference. I have 4 kids at home and the oldest is only 6, so we are very much still in the Sunbeam mentality. I totally get that. You are so sweet for being willing to work on another image. I'm sure the sunbeams will especially appreciate it :)
DeleteErin! That is awesome! I love it! So cute and clever! Thank you so much :)
Erin, you are amazing and make me look so creative and amazing in primary every week. Thank you much for sharing your ideas and drawings. I am not musically inclined and can't carry a tune for the life of me. This calling is a huge challenge for me and by using your inspiration and adding a little bit of my own, I am able to teach my 150 amazing kids. Thank you again.
ReplyDeleteRepliesThanks so much! I never know if anything I do is working ;). By the way, I can't carry a tune, either. The kids kind of love that! I tell them they're going to have to sing louder because nobody wants to hear Sister Isenberg lol.
DeleteI say the same thing, Sis. Morrison just did another solo, Jr. Primary is pretty much a solo with me not hitting any note. It is very embarrassing. Just thank, again.

Thank you so much for sharing all your hard work with us. It makes my job a lot easier to have someone so talented willing to share. I'll be watching for the things that you post and using them to teach the songs here in Virginia.
Thank you again! I really like your images and I can tell that you put a lot of time into them. I keep stopping at the illustrations of Christ though... I remember being taught steer clear of cartoon type depictions of Christ. I wish I could find the documentation about this, but it's Saturday night and I'm still planning what I'm going to do tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for putting so much time into making these wonderful images! I love them and am definitely going to use them to teach this song. As another commenter posted early, if you ever do end up making images for the rest of the verses in the song, I would love to know and use them to teach all verses of this song. Thank you again for sharing your amazing talent!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! You saved my sunday! March caught me by surprise and I woke up stressed about how I was going to teach my kids this song, so I hoped online typed in the song, found your website, and within 5 minutes had a printable and NO STRESS! thank you thank you!
ReplyDeleteMy primary kids wanted me to let you know that they especially love the "Kick me" sign and the girl saying, "Grr". I'm not sure what that says about my primary kids, but I think your visual aids are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThe general Primary presidency requests we do it use cartoon I pictures of our Savior. Too many things in this world are pretend. They want children to know Jesus Christ is REAL. For pictures of the Savior- we are instructed to use church approved materials. Your ideas are darling- you could switch out the cartoon image of the Savior for the one from the church library that has him surrounded by children?!

PHILADELPHIA—There's a big, bold demarcation line running through Halle Berry's life: before Oscar and after Oscar.
"There was a time, before Oscar, when I could not have even got in the room with certain directors," says the actress, who won her Academy Award in 2002, for the Southern-fried "Monster's Ball," in which she played a Death Row inmate's wife who falls into an affair with the prison guard—Billy Bob Thornton—who executed him.
Perfect Stranger
James Foley
Halle Berry, Bruce Willis, Giovanni Ribisi, Gary Dourdan, Nicki Aycox, Patti D'Arbanville
US theatrical: 13 Apr 2007 (General release)
UK theatrical: 13 Apr 2007 (General release)
Now, Berry can get in the room, and more often than not leave with the part. In "Perfect Stranger," a dark, tricky thriller opening Friday, she gets her name above the title (with Bruce Willis), as a tabloid reporter looking to expose an advertising tycoon's adulterous, and quite possibly murderous, ways.
She followed the very-Hollywood "Perfect Stranger" with the very-indie "Things We Lost in the Fire"—an intense character study slated for late-year release and costarring Benicio Del Toro. The project hails from Susanne Bier, the Danish director nominated this year for an Oscar for "After the Wedding." The actress is a passionate fan of Bier's emotionally raw "Brothers" and "Open Hearts." The Berry collaboration marks Bier's English-language debut.
"I fought really hard to be in that movie and work with her," says Berry, dressed in trim pinstripes, holding forth at the Four Seasons Hotel recently. "I was determined to have that experience, and it was everything I thought it would be."
It wasn't that Berry was hurting for work back in those pre-Oscar days. The first "X-Men," in which she's suited up as the meteorologically powered mutant Storm, had come out; Warren Beatty had cast her in his brash political satire, "Bulworth," and Berry gained gobs of notice—and a hefty bonus—for flashing her breasts in the crime caper "Swordfish."
But the one-time Miss USA and Miss World contestant, a striking woman of African American and English heritage (her father's black, her mother's white), was, like so many Hollywood beauties, not really taken seriously.
"The great thing the Oscar does for me is it allows me the right to be in the room and have a meeting and make my case," says Berry, who keeps homes in New York and Malibu and continues her gig as a Revlon spokesstar. "As long as I can do that, then I feel like all is good in the world. Because the filmmaker absolutely has the right to say, `No, Halle is all wrong.' But knowing that I have a shot at it, it's all that I ever asked for. And I get that these days."
James Foley, who directed Berry in the erotically charged, heavily promoted "Perfect Stranger," points to "Monster's Ball," too.
"That was the first time she was given the opportunity to use what I think is still an underrated talent," says the director, whose credits include "At Close Range," "After Dark My Sweet" and "Glengarry Glen Ross." "The fact that it took so long for her to get in that position makes me mad about the movies she could have been making had Hollywood come to its senses, or luck had gone in different ways.
"But when you think about it," he continues, "in 90 percent of Hollywood movies, the lead is male. And 99 percent are white. And she doesn't fit those categories. So for her to get in a position of first billing with Bruce Willis, I can imagine the sort of perseverance she must have. ... And she doesn't wear it at all. There's none of the `I deserve this because I worked so hard' stuff. She's ambitious in the best sort of way."
Although Berry, at 40, is one of the few stars out there who doesn't want to direct, her ambition has led her to take control of the films she appears in—and ones she's interested in seeing, even if there isn't a part for her. Under her production company banner, Bellah Films—"Halle B backwards," she explains—Berry is developing "Tulia," based on the real-life events surrounding the wrongful arrest of 46 blacks in a Texas drug sting; "Class Act," another based-on-a-true-story, about Tierney Cahill, the Nevada schoolteacher whose sixth-grade students helped her run for Congress, and "Nefertiti," a big-budget epic about the 14th-century B.C. Egyptian queen. (Her "Monster's Ball" director, Marc Forster, will steer her through that one.)
Berry's also overseeing a project for singer Alicia Keyes and a TV series for Lifetime, called "Mixed." Although she won't appear in the latter, it's a subject rooted in her own experience.
"It's about growing up mixed-race," she says. "I think it's timely right now. We're all sort of becoming more tolerant of each other. It feels like with this new generation, they're not having some of the issues that I know I had when I grew up, and that my parents had."
Berry—raised in suburban Cleveland by her mother, a psychiatric nurse—says her own ethnicity wasn't an issue until she reached school. "When you grow up in that (multiethnic) environment, you see the world differently. Being a mixed-race child, I didn't always see color in people, I really didn't. It was other people that made me see the color all the time. But, left to my own devices, I grew up very much color-blind. Then I got old enough for other kids to start contaminating the way I thought."
Berry's experience with racism—in schools, in jobs, in Hollywood—has prepared her, she says, for another ism: ageism. Berry's at a point in her life where studio execs start looking elsewhere—as in younger—for their talent. Even with an Oscar, some parts might be harder to come by in future years.
"I started in this business 20 years ago, and I've always had to struggle, being a woman of color," she says. "So the fact that I might have to do that because I'm getting older will feel like normalcy to me. ... I will continue on as I've been for the first 20 years of my career, fighting to get a good part for a woman like me.
" ... I know what that fight is all about, and it doesn't scare me at all."

For those of you who were wondering what the atmosphere of Portal would be like, wonder no more. Chet Faliszek and Erik Wolpaw of the once-great gaming website Old Man Murray will be lending their writing talents to Valve's upcoming environment-puzzler Portal. In an interview with Game Informer, Valve's Doug Lombardi promises the same "wry cynicism" fans OMM knew and loved. Wolpaw was also a writer for Tim Schafer's hilarious (yet sadly underrated) Psychonauts, a project for which he won Game Developers Choice Award for Best Writing for his Story and Dialog in 2006.
Old Man Murray went out of commission in 2002 but remains up for historical purposes. Old Man Murray devised a Crate Review System, whereby one would judge a game based on the time it took to find a crate (unit: StC, or Start to Crate). The Crate Review System has been quoted by Valve's Gabe Newell as a major concern when developing Half-Life 2. The team decided to make a crate one of the first things you see in the game -- a decision that Newell opined "was the Old Man Murray equivalent of throwing yourself to the mercy of the court." That Wolpaw and Faliszek work for Valve is a perfect example of situational irony.
In the GI interview, Lombardi also discussed Portal's relation to the Half-Life universe, Lombardi added that the connection will be made clear "while you're playing through Portal. And you will play as a new character that we haven't introduced yet that will have a role in Half-Life games in the future."

Johnson gets new view -- eventually -- of banquet
December 03, 2011, Mark Aumann, NASCAR.com
When the key members of the championship team were being seated at the head table Friday evening to open the 2011 Sprint Cup Series awards banquet, Tony Stewart's name was announced but Jimmie Johnson was the one who came out from behind the curtain to take his seat. Why not? Johnson's had that prime piece of real estate for five consecutive banquets, and it took perhaps the best championship battle in NASCAR history to knock him off the dais. "There's this indescribable feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction that comes with being the champion. I won't be able to feel that this year, but I'm really proud of the guy who will." --JIMMIE JOHNSON "They ought to engrave his name on that seat and that stage," Jeff Gordon said. "Even in my speech, I could have very easily gone up there and said, 'Congratulations, Jimmie.' It becomes a habit, and what they've done the last five years is amazing." It was a playful and humorous way to acknowledge a streak of excellence that even now is hard to comprehend. It's difficult to remember back to a time when Johnson wasn't dominant. Stewart -- the most recent champion not named Johnson -- won the 2005 title driving the No. 20 Chevy for Joe Gibbs. "Obviously, we can't forget somebody that's done something that will probably never, ever be done in this sport again," Stewart said. "Buddy, I'm really proud of you. I never thought being a set of bookends would be such a gratifying feeling but what you guys did for five years is amazing." Gordon agreed with Stewart's assessment. "I don't think it'll ever be done again," Gordon said. "I really don't. It's just so hard to accomplish and those guys made it look easy but it wasn't. They had to work really hard at it. They are a great team, and I think it just goes to show when you have a group of individuals that click, that have chemistry, anything is possible." When it came time for Johnson to reflect on his 2011 season, he looked over at Stewart, sitting a few yards away in the seat from where Johnson has watched each of the past five awards ceremonies. "To be honest with you, it's so hard to put into words what the last five years have been like," Johnson said. "There's this indescribable feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction that comes with being the champion. I won't be able to feel that this year, but I'm really proud of the guy who will." Despite a rocky start to the Chase, Johnson finished second at Dover and won at Kansas, showing much of the resilience that highlighted so many of his previous championship runs. But he crashed hard at Charlotte, resulting in a 34th-place finish, and from that point on, he knew the end of his reign was at hand. "There were a lot of mistakes that were made in the Chase that I want to reflect and learn from," Johnson said. "In previous years, I've worked really hard on the offseason. And after 10 years of all this, I'm taking time off. I'm unplugging. It'll be far less work for me than any other offseason." Johnson subscribes to the adage that you learn most from your failures, and he expects to return in 2012 with a refocused attitude. "It's easy to win," Johnson said. "It's easy to handle it right and say the right things, do the right things. When you make mistakes and get challenged, that's where the lessons come from. "I look at 32 years of racing and I've won seven championships. So there's a lot of losing. There's only one winner every week, so you learn how to lose." Nothing lasts forever, especially championship streaks. And Johnson knew it would end at some point. Still, 2011 was a year Johnson won't soon forget. "Our season didn't turn out as we hoped, but it wasn't from lack of effort," Johnson said. "It was a year of firsts for me, a year that I will certainly learn from, to say the least. I found my way into social media -- which I despised and now seem to spend way too much time doing. I had a few arguments, and even had a lame attempt at crashing Kurt Busch at Richmond. "There's a lot of things to learn from this year, a lot of ups and downs. And I know I will be stronger from this. My team will, as well. And I hope to be back at that head table soon." It's a seat that Johnson knows well, even if it had a new occupant Friday evening. For photo images from Champion's Week, including the Sprint Cup Series banquet, click below.

Excellent Point....Which I neglected to add to my statement!Reader comment on item: Sudden Jihad or "Inordinate Stress" at Ft. Hood? Submitted by froike (United States), Nov 11, 2009 at 11:12 Manny...I was thinking the same thing: After Pearl Harbor, how many innocent Americans of Japanese descent were put into detention camps. 99.9% of these people were loyal law abiding American Citizens. In fact, Americans of Japanese descent who fought in WW2 distinguished themselves for their loyalty and bravery during battle! Was Pearly Harbor any different from 9/11, Hence, in my commentary, I alluded to the movie:"The Siege": DP Camps were set up for Americans of Arab/Muslim descent. Let's hope it never comes to that.... But like my friend says,"Hope in one hand, poop in the other...see which fills up first!"
