Did Richard C. Doty ruin the life of Albuquerque businessman, Paul Bennewitz?
"I do not have anything to do with UFO research or investigations. I attempted to perform certain duties which would enable our team to trap possible foreign agents working against the interest of the United States. My supervisors, however, saw my actions as being unauthorized. Therefore, I was asked to leave AFOSI, which I did voluntarily".
The UFO community has been familiar with Richard C. Doty, self-proclaimed "disinformation agent" who used to work as an AFOSI officer in Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Doty now goes by the name of Rick Doty on Facebook:
Most folks seem to agree that he indeed had a deep impact on the life of businessman Paul Bennewitz, owner of defense contractor Thunder Scientific Laboratories in Albuquerque located right next to Kirtland Air Force Base.
Richard C. Doty allegedly fed a lot of misinformation to Bennewitz which eventually caused Bennewitz's mental deterioration and paranoia, to the point of hospitalization. Doty's claim was that he was part of the governmental ploy to detract attention away from Bennewitz's interest in pursuing military research projects such as Project Starfire within the Kirtland Air Force Base. Of course, it ended up with Bennewitz's misinterpretation of what he witnessed there.

The same goes for William L. Moore. It seems to me that both William L. Moore and Richard C. Doty, together, or if not, individually, fed disinformation to Paul Bennewitz allegedly under the delegated authority from the CIA or NSA.
But this is simply their grandiose claims that they were officially assigned this task by these governmental agencies.
However, it is difficult to obtain any documented governmental evidence that they were officially part of that assignment.
It is quite possible that they did all that primarily on their own, and not officially sanctioned by governmental agencies.
William L. Moore, another "self-claimed" UFO disinformation agent?
Paul Bennewitz passed away in 2003.
Bennewitz's sons today operate the business but refuse to talk about their late father, since they are still doing business with the Air Force.
In his excellent book, "DULCE BASE: The Truth And Evidence From The Case Files of Gabe Valdez", Greg Valdez, middle son of the late Gabe Valdez (New Mexico State Patrol Officer in charge of Dulce, New Mexico for many years) brings out some significant points:
He writes:
"The transfers of Maj. Earnest Edwards (Kirtland Security Police) and Richard C. Doty (of AFOSI) to Germany coincided with the involvement of Senator Peter Domenici in the mystery.
As his office began inquiries into the activities in Dulce to the Air Force, Richard C. Doty and Maj. Earnest Edwards ended up in Germany.
It was also at this time that Doty 'retired' from the Air Force, and it appears from other evidence that he was forced out of the Air Force.
Senator Domenici was very influential with the Los Alamos and Sandia Laboratories, and his inquiries were more than likely what ended Richard C. Doty's Air Force career.
What is also important to remember is that the NSA (as well as CIA) never obtains search warrants to place listening devices in homes.
Under the guise of 'National Security', they placed these warrantless bugs in Gabe Valdez's and Manuel Gomez's homes in Dulce, New Mexico.
That type of covert activity is usually conducted by the NSA or CIA, and usually outside the general working proceedings of the AFOSI.
It's also something the CIA typically gets involved in, especially if the mystery aircraft (that allegedly crashed on Mount Archuleta, northwest of Dulce, New Mexico in 1983) was a CIA aircraft".
I am just simply quoting from Greg Valdez's book.
For a while, Richard C. Doty worked as a State policeman in the small community of Grants, New Mexico.
However, he is no longer associated with New Mexico State Patrol.
The problem with Richard C. Doty is that he was (and still is) spewing out UFO nonsense even after he became a State policeman, and even after he left.
Recently he appeared on a short documentary called "MIRAGE MEN".
It seems to me that this documentary was nothing but double-talk by Doty.
It seems to me that Richard C. Doty (with zero credibility) conveniently claims he promoted the UFO mythology bascially as a cover for secret aviation technologies developed during the Cold War.
(ABOVE, Richard C. Doty when he was with AFOSI at Kirtland AFB, Albuquerque, New Mexico)
("SOM 1-01, MJ-12 group Special Operations Manual"….most likely another of Richard C. Doty's scams)
Yet he himself seems to be a firm believer in some of the very same UFO mythologies he claims he promoted, such as his claims that humans were genetically manipulated by extraterrestrials!!
The bottom line to all this is the question:
Was Richard C. Doty, while under the employ of AFOSI, fully responsible for ruining the life of Albuquerque businessman, Paul Bennewitz?
I am not saying that he was. I am simply asking this question.
Of course, if he was, then some day soon Richard C. Doty will have to pay for what he has done!!
Here is a comment from R. Edmund Gomez, one of the sons of Manuel Gomez, proprietor of formerly the largest cattle ranch in Dulce, New Mexico:
"Based on his stated intentions, law abiding U.S. citizens were treated as "possible foreign agents" for defending their family and property. Was breaking into civilian homes and stealing pictures and documents, planting electronic listening devices, making threatening telephone calls and, overall, violating basic U.S. civil rights part of his M.O.? If so, he is a domestic terrorist, a criminal and coward and should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law! Oh, by the way, he was commissioned a New Mexico State Police officer after being terminated from the U.S. armed forces for performing his atrocities. God help us".

THE MENTAL DESTRUCTION OF PAUL BENNEWITZ (compiled by Dee Finney)
"I do not have anything to do with UFO research or investigations. I attempted to perform certain duties which would enable our team to trap possible foreign agents working against the interest of the United States. My supervisors, however, saw my actions as being unauthorized. Therefore, I was asked to leave AFOSI, which I did voluntarily"
But, was it too late? Did Richard C. Doty already ruin the life of Albuquerque businessman, Paul Bennewitz? See this YouTube item:

As I stated, Richard C. Doty now goes under the name Rick Doty and is on Facebook:

I know it's been a while since I've posted anything for Lit... it took me a while to finish this chapter while I was scrambling with Pieces. Now that I'm editing, I've got more time for writing other stuff and I finally finished the Homeschooled series for Lit. YAY! This means that, when it comes to my free stories, I can finally move on to reader requests =) Those of you who have made requests have all been VERY patient with me about waiting. No I'm not sure whose request is going to get done first, but I will work my way through all of them before starting on a new series.
I feel really good about having finished some of the stories that I started, literally, almost a decade ago. Granted, there are still more that need to be finished, but it feels good to have done some of them (and finish my New Years Resolution from last year LOL). I am also looking forward to the short brain break for me, since the reader request stories will all be standalone shorts instead of chapter stories, which means I don't have any plot or anything to keep track of. Which is nice. My brain needs a bit of a break while I figure out changes for Marriage Training and also start a new series, and have the Stronghold series percolating.
Only ten more days before Pieces of Stronghold will be released! I'm so super excited =) Editing is going really will and I'm making some small changes to the story (in addition to grammatical corrections) that were made by the beta readers, and overall I'm really happy with what it's turning into. Keeping track of all the different POVs was hard sometimes, but the end result is def worth it. Plus it was fun to go back and visit with some old and friendly faces. =) Hilary and Liam have a chapter, so do Lexie and Patrick, and Jessica, Chris and Justin have the second to last chapter. There are a couple of new perspectives as well, but I gotta keep some mystery involved so I'm not going to reveal those =D Obviously Jared and Leigh get the most chapters. Everyone shows up though, at one point or another, even if they didn't get a chapter from their POV.
Anyway... In my previous blog post I also mentioned what the next series I'm starting will be. It's kind of a spin-off of the Domestic Discipline Quartet, and those characters will make occasional cameos so we'll get to see how they're doing, but overall this new series will be entirely new characters. It's going to be the Bridal Discipline Series and the first book will be called Phillip's Rules. =) Super excited about it!
But, currently, not as excited about it as I am about Pieces of Stronghold coming out! I can't WAIT to get reader reactions... I won't lie, I became a little bit of a $hit-stirrer... and I'm dying to know what people think. WOOT!!!
I'll be posting a last teaser sometime next week, so keep an eye out for that =D

wholeheARTed: A Summer Guest Blog Series
Lisle Gwynn Garrity
"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might."
—Deut. 6:5
"We are born makers, and creativity is the ultimate act of integration— it is how we fold our experiences into our being."
—Brene Brown, Rising Strong: the Reckoning, the Rumble, the Revolution
A Sanctified Art began with conversations around wholeheartedness. How could we as creatives offer a wholehearted approach to faith, and worship, and church? What would it look like to connect our hearts with our hands—to fully integrate art with our vocation and service to the world? How might we harness our creatives gifts to inspire others in living and loving wholeheARTedly?
This summer we're widening our circle to feature the voices of those who also find themselves blending creativity with their faith in a variety of ways and contexts. We hope to curate a months-long conversation around creative identity, fear, self-doubt, and process—inviting us all to reflect on how creativity leads us into living a wholeheARTed life.
To kick-off the conversation, we thought we would take a stab at our questions for the series. We hope you'll check back all summer long to read reflections from our courageous and talented guests.
When did you first consider yourself an artist or creative person?
"I've spent most of my life trying to live up to the title of artist. I didn't claim this for myself until I let go of the many unnecessary and false qualifications society and I, consequently, had set as barriers for living into that identity. In a sort of daily practice of releasing this burden, I found that we are all inherently artists in our own right, made in the image of our Creator. So let me introduce myself. Hi, my name is Lauren. I am an artist and so are you."
—Lauren Wright Pittman
"While I do believe everyone is an artist, I prefer to use the term 'creativist' to describe myself, which is an identity I just recently started growing into. Originally, I didn't think I had a right to use that term. However, now I see everyone has a right to use that term. I hope and pray that more people will see and claim that part of their identity as well—those creative strands—because it changes the way you give back. It changes the way you even perceive giving back."
—Sarah Are
"My mom always told me I was an artist. I believed her. I cannot remember a time that I was not an artist. It is the fabric of who I am."
—Hannah Garrity
"As a preschooler, I'd stage elaborate craft shows (featuring painted rocks and yarn dolls) in my backyard. In first grade, my teachers paid me in Lisa Frank notebooks and gummy worms to paint Georgia O'Keefe-inspired flower paintings. In high school, I became enamored with the French impressionists and completed an AP portfolio of works in oil, and in college I became the non-major who always found my way to the studio. My life has been knit together with creative pursuits, and yet, I always considered my art simply an accessory of my life, secondary to more 'serious' endeavors. It wasn't until I went to seminary that I discovered my vocation and identity are utterly incomplete without my artist self. Now I spend my life helping others to not only 'do' art, but to help them embrace their creativity as part of their own unique identity and gift to the world."
—Lisle Gwynn Garrity
How do you push past fear and self-doubt when they emerge during the creative process?
"To be completely honest, fear and self-doubt are constant companions of mine in the midst of and beyond the creative process. I've had to learn to change my perspective and reframe the relationship. Fear and self-doubt accompany me, but they do not control me. Fear and self-doubt are with me but they don't have an ultimate say in the way I move."
—Lauren Wright Pittman
"I like to think of fear as the step cousin of creativity. Though they may seem to be opposing forces, fear and creativity can have the same beneficial effects on us: they inspire new directions, encourage us to take risks, and force us to pay attention to things we may otherwise miss. So when fear shows up during my creative process (as my ever-faithful companion), instead of letting it paralyze me, I try to harness it for good, allowing it to lead me to something new and undiscovered. Fear will smother us if we let it. Or, if we stare it in the face and allow it to shape us anew, it has the power to keep us alive."
—Lisle Gwynn Garrity
"I take breaks. For me, creativity comes in waves. It doesn't arrive on a schedule. So, if a piece isn't moving, I step back from the work, go back to the text, sketches, notes, or apply relaxed attention to it. Once the artist's block has dissipated, I am able to find a new path to a solution."
—Hannah Garrity
"Anything that involves creativity is drenched in vulnerability. It is scary, and I doubt I will ever get past that! For me, the best thing I know to do is affirm others when I believe they are living into their call, listen for the Spirit affirming me in mine, and try not to be afraid to try something new—whether that means letting something go, opening a door, or taking a leap. The Spirit moves in mysterious ways, and She's not good at sitting still, so I know that when I invite her in, things might get colorful. She might reveal all of my bruises, or She might paint me in gold. Either way, I want to be all in."
—Sarah Are
How is creativity connected to your faith?
"Creativity and faith, for me, feed a never-ending cycle. It starts with moments of incomprehensible love, grief, or hope—moments that cause my heart to swell. And when my heart swells, my faith swells—asking questions, providing comfort, filling holes and making new ones. And in those moments, creativity is the only thing that makes sense. I have to write, sing, play music, move. It's a natural reaction—a need, really. For, when I am creative, I feel alive with all of my being, and when I feel alive, I know deep in my bones that I am made in the image of God and from the bones of my neighbor. And when I remember that I am made in the image of God, my heart swells again, and the cycle starts all over."
—Sarah Are
"I think creativity steers us away from a faith defined by doctrine and rigid rituals. Creativity demands more from us—it forces us to question, doubt, explore, persevere, imagine, struggle. It is restless and constantly stirs our hearts to nurture the inbreaking of something unknown. I cannot comprehend faith without the practice of creativity, for what is faith but hope in things not yet seen, not yet breathed into being?"
—Lisle Gwynn Garrity
"Creativity is the life breath of my faith. It is within the creative process that I tap into the essence of who I am and reflect the imaginative, risk-taking, impassioned, paint-stained hands of my Creator."
—Lauren Wright Pittman
"Creativity connects me to God. My creative moments are sacred space in my day."
—Hannah Garrity
How does art/creativity lead you to wholeness?
"For most of my life I did not self identify as a creative person. I wasn't actively suppressing that title out of fear or insecurity, I just did not realize I could claim that for myself. Over time, however, I found that I kept picking up art as a processing tool and as something that brought me joy. When I began to claim my identity as a creative person, I opened the door to so much joy in my life—joy in collaboration with others, peace found through the creative process, growth in my sense of self, and joy in using parts of my heart that I believe God embedded within me. Just like I need laughter and community to be whole, I need creativity, and I am so grateful I am not alone in that."
—Sarah Are
"I am able to connect with God in the act of creating. Trying to express a love for God visually is a visceral experience. The process of making each piece of art allows me to deeply connect with the gaps in my faith, my questions for God, and the strength of my dedication to giving my gifts to glorify God. Continually exploring my relationship with God in quest of a more perfect relationship is an experience that fills me with a sense of wholeness."
—Hannah Garrity
"I cannot even begin to express with words the many thoughts, emotions, wanderings, doubts, joys, desires and hopes swirling inside of me. For a long time I tried to keep this swirling bottled up inside because I could never adequately find the words. Words failed me time and time again. However, my sketchbook teemed with drawings and images that flashed with truth, speaking clearly about that inner churning and imaging glimmers of my true self. The creative process helps me tap into those hazy rumblings and release them out into the world. My voice is incomplete without a paint brush, coloring pencils, or my graphic design applications. These tools, a present mind, an open heart, a willing body, and a discerning spirit help me in unleashing these bottled up pieces of who I am, allowing me to more fully live into the person God created me to be."
—Lauren Wright Pittman
"When I was 15, I thought I had my life all mapped out. I was convinced I was destined to a vocation in sports medicine as a physical trainer. When the first step in this path was cut short (the prerequisite class was full), I found myself filling my spring semester schedule with the only class with an opening: studio art. Art. Ha! It sounded so cute and juvenile. But the moment I stepped foot into that class, my world turned. Paint brushes became steadfast companions, canvases were portals into untapped possibility, paintings by the French Impressionists were lenses retraining my eyes to read movement, color, and light. So much of my journey has led me through seasons of disintegration and integration, of quieting my creativity in pursuit of more 'noble' paths, and then being lured back into myself by a creative longing instilled in me before birth. Creativity always leads me back home—to God, to my purpose, and to my whole self."
—Lisle Gwynn Garrity

Aislinn's Senior Photos - Maine Photographers
Last week we posted one of our first senior rep sessions we had and you got a sneak peak of Aislinn. She and Teodora are the first reps that we've shot this year and we had a ton of fun getting to know them and shooting. I wish I had senior photos like this of myself from when I was a senior (mine are boring, studio backdrop and pretty awful). We will begin shooting senior sessions in April and continue up through the fall. As you can see our shoots are anything but ordinary and we have great locations and ideas for this year. We also have an amazing makeup artist who works with us on all our shoots, Rebecca Morrell, who adds so much to the shoots. Please get in touch with us regarding our pricing and other info for scheduling a senior shoot this summer!
You'll see more of Aislinn this summer when we do a full senior session with her, but here's her mini session!

I couldn't believe my ears. Or my eyes. But then again, there was a feeling that it was true.
Rev. Ted Haggard, president of the powerful National Association of Evangelicals and pastor of the 14,000 New Life Church in Colorado Springs was accused this week by a self professed male escort of having a three year sexual relationship with the escort. Apparently the "evangelical church" hasn't heeded this, written just six months ago.
"Stories abound of pastors snared by sexual transgression. The problems transcend theology and ecclesiology. A pervasive culture of sensuality and disregard for communal accountability guarantees that some pastors will struggle with all sorts of sexual temptation. Toss into this mix the internet's availability and anonymity, which have spread the reach of pornography and clandestine sexual encounters."I'm sure shock waves will reverberate around the evangelical community, not because Haggard was caught in this messy mess of a mess, but because he was such an outspoken opponent of homosexual rights. When I spoke at the 24 Hour Marriage Crisis Summit in Washington DC in 2005, (and later Apostle Kim Daniels) warned hundreds of mostly black pastors assembled that God was going to let the devil pull the covers off those who were sneaking around with homosexuals behind the scenes.
While initally denying that he had any involvement with the escort, Haggard has now "admitted to some of the indiscretions", but not all of them. In this case, any of them present serious implications for all of them.
Its quite understandable and to be expected that if Ted Haggard carried on this adulterous relationship for three years while publicly preaching against it, sooner or later it would catch up to him. The later has come and with it another avalanche of disbelief. Homosexuals have a right to use this as a whipping post of the hypocritical preachers who are engaged in these types of travesties. Add Haggard's name to the list above and then church needs to stop this insane cultic pastor-worship and hold men and women accountable. In the end, its the sheep who suffer the most.
1 Corinthians 9:27 (American Standard Version)
But I buffet my body, and bring it into bondage: lest by any means, after that I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected.

Hi Y'all! Hope you've had a good weekend - I recently did a personal three card reading for myself with my first ever deck (Rider Waite deck SUP!) and I thought it needed some attention for this week. Let's dig in.
- Five of Swords - So, here we are. We are still dealing with some negative thought patterns and behaviors (and I say 'we' here, but this is straight up my MO...always a struggle). This card has been described as the 'dragon slayer', so we are shedding those no-good, soul-crushing, self-defeating thoughts and modalities and getting ready to charge forth on a self-directed path. Through our shadow work we acknowledge these destructive habits and by understanding them, we can better defeat them. SLAAAAAAAY, my dears, SLAY.
- Seven of Swords - Now, sometimes we get a little fearful of upsetting the applecart (even our trusted peers), but it's time for us to remove ourselves from outside influences and orthodoxy so that we can discover our true path. This is a vision quest card and a call to strive for our individuality. We need to stop with the self-sabotage find an authentic, spiritual voice. Time to put on our defiance pants and get weird and wild, Y'all.
- Five of Cups - I know this one is scary, because it leaves us vulnerable. We've experienced disappointment on a deep, emotional level and that makes it difficult to move forward. We are asked to review the painful experiences of our past with clear, unflinching eyes. There is a silver lining with this card, though - when we focus on this pain and sorrow, we can identify these wounds with clarity and you better believe that this empowers us to avoid them when similar situations arise. Here we have the opportunity to learn from our mistakes and look back on these lessons with compassion and understanding - and ready to look ahead with a hopeful approach. We can do it.
*These three card readings are intended for us all as a community and are therefore broad. If you are interested in a more specific, in-depth reading - we offer individual readings at Oracle as well! If you would like to schedule an appointment for an individual reading, you can do that here or give us a ring at 816.982.9550. You can also join us for one of our monthly Tarot Workshop & Happy Hour events and learn more about cartomancy!

Although the speakers were very careful to affirm that the Holy Spirit is at work today in the Church and our individual lives, I've always believed and still do that there are authentic experiences of God that Cessationists don't recognize, often wrongly calling them "mystical" (in the sense they use that word that I don't think is always appropriate).
When John MacArthur says "praying in the spirit" is simply praying with all our human faculties, I have to wonder why, if that is so, Paul made the distinction between that and praying with the mind, or "the understanding" as the KJV has it:
1 Cor 14:15, in KJV "with the spirit and with the understanding also"--which certainly implies that the spirit is something separate from the mind and not understandable or graspable with the mind.
And why would John the Apostle, the author of Revelation, bother to say he was "in the Spirit on the Lord's Day" if the involvement of all our human faculties is all it means to be "in the Spirit."
"Spirit" is capitalized in the KJV here, and also in Ephesians 6:18 where we are commanded to pray "in the Spirit" ourselves, so it's not some special mental state that only John was expected to experience.
The Greek word for "spirit" AND for "Spirit" -- the distinction was decided on by the KJV translators -- is the same word: "pneuma" which literally means "breath."
"Mind" and "understanding" are translated from the Greek word "nous."
The Greek word the KJV translated "soul" is "psyche," which we recognize as the root of "psychology." "Soul" or "psyche" includes both the emotions and the mind according to an online dictionary, but "nous" is just "mind."
But "spirit" is something else. "Spirit" and "soul" are clearly not the same word, and the fact that they are not treated as synonymous in scripture certainly implies that they refer to distinctly different human faculties.
MacArthur has the same idea of worshiping "in spirit and in truth," as he said in Part 2 of the Challies interview:
True worship takes place in spirit and truth (John 4:24), meaning it involves both the emotions and the mind.Again he treats "spirit" as synonymous with "soul" or "psyche," but this isn't correct: it is "psyche" and not "pneuma" which is the seat of emotions and mind.
I'm aware that John Owen, the great Puritan, also ignored the difference between "soul" and "spirit," and spoke of "body and soul" as the totality of human nature. I don't know if a defense of this has ever been given. Like Owen, MacArthur also insists on the understanding of human nature as made up of body and soul, against the views of some teachers that we are tripartite: body, soul and spirit -- at least those who have been born again are tripartite, the spirit that was previously dormant or "dead" in the fallen nature having been quickened.
There is scripture for this: 1 Thessalonians 5:23 distinguishes the three parts, and Hebrews 4:12 emphasizes the difference between soul and spirit by speaking of "dividing" them "asunder:"
1 Thess 5:23
And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.''At the Blue Letter Bible site, Jamieson, Fausset and Brown's Commentary on this verse acknowledges this tripartite human nature:
Heb 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart
All three, spirit, soul, and body, each in its due place, constitute man "entire." The "spirit" links man with the higher intelligences of heaven, and is that highest part of man which is receptive of the quickening Holy Spirit ( 1Cr 15:47 ). In the unspiritual, the spirit is so sunk under the lower animal soul (which it ought to keep under) that such are termed "animal" (English Version. "sensual," having merely the body of organized matter, and the soul the immaterial animating essence), having not the Spirit. The unbeliever shall rise with an animal (soul-animated) body, but not like the believer with a spiritual (spirit-endued) body like Christ's (Rom. 8:11This is in keeping with Penn-Lewis and Nee's understanding and both of them develop the idea at great length.
Matthew Henry's Commentary quotes the passage but only as a description of the "whole man," and doesn't go into detail.
While Charismatics and Pentecostals are likely to agree with the interpretation of the tripartite human nature, there is no necessary connection with the "gifts of the Spirit," and it also has to be acknowledged that it's possible for anything of the "spirit" to be counterfeited just as the gifts are counterfeited. The great danger is ALWAYS the failure of Biblical discernment.
Those who share this interpretation are likely also to believe in a special separate "Baptism in the Holy Spirit." I've never had a clear idea of this concept except that those who hold it must have had some kind of special experience they are describing, whether they are understanding it rightly or not.
Obviously there is much more to discuss about this.

Transcribed from "An Illustrated History of The
Big Bend Country, embracing Lincoln, Douglas, Adams and Franklin counties,
State of Washington", published by Western Historical Publishing
Co., 1904.
JOHN UNBEWUST has had one of the most busy and eventful lives of any of the many rugged pioneers of the Big Bend country. Born on January 1, 1858, in Luzerne county, Pennsylvania, he is now a prominent and well-to-do farmer living four and one half miles south from Harrington. His father, Valentine Unbewust, was born and reared in Germany, and died in Pennsylvania, in 1860, aged forty-four years. His mother was Catherine E. Unbewust, a native of Germany, who died in Pennsylvania in 1875, being at the time of her death in her fifty-sixth year. The parents of our subject had been parents of nine children, only two of whom are now living, our subject and a brother, Adam, near Moscow, Washington. Until arriving at the age of fifteen Mr. Unbewust worked about the coal mines of his native state, then engaged to run an engine in a factory. Afterwards he learned the trade of blacksmith, which trade he has followed more or less during all the subsequent years of his life. In the spring of 1877 he went to Yolo county, California, where he did blacksmithing for some years, then went to San Francisco, where he engaged in the vocation of the bar-tender in a saloon. This latter business, however, he followed only five months when he became so thoroughly disgusted with the entire traffic in liquor in all its details that he changed forever his occupation, and at the same time permanently eschewed all use of intoxicating drinks in any form and also the use of tobacco. From that time henceforth he has been a total abstainer. After leaving the barroom he returned to work at his trade in Yolo City, and in the spring of 1883 returned to his old home in Pennsylvania where he worked in the blacksmith shops of a railroad for a brief space of time.
On May 6, 1883, Mr. Unbewust was married to Catherine Elizabeth Smith, born in Schuylkill county, Pennsylvania, December 4, 1858. She was the daughter of John and Elizabeth Smith, whose deaths occurred respectively in 1862 and 1902. In June, following their wedding, Mr. and Mrs. Unbewust came to Yolo county, where both worked during the harvest season, he in the field and his wife as cook for a heading crew. In September, 1883, they came to Sprague, Washington, where Mr. Unbewust worked as a blacksmith in the car shops. He also took a homestead at the time of coming here, and worked for a year and a half to earn money with which to make improvements on his land. He built a small cabin, one half of which served as a living house and the other half as a shop wherein he did a considerable amount of work for his neighbors. Later, he again followed his trade in Sprague for a number of months, after which he worked in the Walla Walla harvest fields and elsewhere in order to keep up the improvements of his homestead. He then started in farming on a small scale, but, as he had never had any experience at that business, and since all the elements of nature seemed to militate against him, he suffered great hardships and met poor success until the year 1897, when he had a good crop, received a high price, and nearly succeeded in clearing himself of a seventeen hundred dollar debt. The following year he rented several hundred acres of land, which he farmed with success, in fact every year since that time has found him more prosperous and successful than its predecessor. Since the year 1900 he has been cultivating two whole sections of land. He now owns four hundred and eighty acres of his own, all well improved, having a modern house, first class outbuildings, water system, orchard and so forth. He has also a large number of live stock, and some especially well-bred horses.
Mr. Unbewust is a member of the Harrington lodge, knights of Pythias, and is one of the leading citizens of his county.
The children born to Mr. and Mrs. Unbewust are Catherine E., deceased, Elizabeth D., Anna Martha, Christine, Georgia A., and Mary E.
Mr. Unbewust may well feel a pride in the fact of his signal success in Lincoln county against such overwhelming adversity as menaced him during his early years in the agricultural business, and which has been overcome only by his indomitable energy and determination to make a success of the life he chose to follow. He was reared in the Lutheran faith and has worked for the advancement of all that tends to benefit mankind. Being progressive, he cast his first vote for the success of the Republican party. He is a deep thinker and now, as things progress, he is feeling bound to investigate the claims of Socialism.

The welcome page of Khaganat introduces some concepts. First, you can read our charter, and if you want a really detailed presentation, please read the manifesto and the founding principles.
Khaganat is a complex project and therefore it's easy to get lost. Follow the guide, and perhaps discover something different…
Khaganat aims at creating a MMORPG that is as free as possible. Free in all the possibilities that are given to the players(but that is something every MMORPG will try to offer). Also free in its code and in its graphical resources, even in its universe, in its history, in the tools AND provided to modify it and make it grow.
It is also a social and economical experiment. The Khaganat's participants explore concepts not usually used in video games, and hence we bet that "a game fully accessible" could generate a positive economy1) and constructive human exchanges based on sharing and good-will rather than on constraint and secrecy.
In concrete terms, if the player community want's a patch, it should create one and install it. If everyone wishes to see a new race appearing, then "every talent" will be solicited to create a history for this new race, and then to integrate it in to what already exists, even to create its visual appearance, to animate the 3d models, to add it into the server, and also discover the new events which are related to it.
Everyone has to, and can decide what he or she wants to do, for ex:
Everyone has a place here.
For more details, you should really read the manifesto and the founding principles!
Take the time to navigate through the pages of the wiki, jump on the forum2). Don't hesitate to ask questions on the IRC channels. A lot of things is still to be built.
The Wikhan(that you are reading currently) gives information regarding the project as a whole. Tools, tutorials, and so on.. but not about the world(s)! We consider the possibility that one day, other worlds(and other servers) may emerge from the initial project.
To get a presentation of the world, you've got to go to the "Unity of Memory 1", usually abbreviated in UM1. Welcome on the First Matrix of the Khanat3)! But listen.. only Dreamers can perceive what the matrix is… which is the environment you will be bound to discover on the game server.
Everything is available on the UM1, just as it is on the Wikhan, both under license CC-BY.
The Mediateki is also associated with Khanat. This is the place where we gather all the creations from all kind of artists: chronicles, stories, drawings, music, poesy etc… BUT beware, each work belongs to the one who created it and licenses may differ. You can join in and use the data of the universe while protecting your own work with the most abominable licenses(if you want)4).
Well, just for now, it will be a bit difficult. But it will arrive. The project is only just starting..
Everything is to be done, everything is to be dreamt !
The rule(which is the foundation Khaganat) is "Dream without limit". When the vision is a great one, it gathers and motivates. Technical constraints, human capabilities, availables skills ? It's only secundary. Dare to dream and share the collective dream.. and when you're full of energy and ready to move mountains5), then… make the first step… then the second one.. and one step after another(without ever losing the sense of what it is that motivates you), the obstacles will be overcome and the dream will turn into a reality.
Each element(considered on itself) is doable. Anyone can give his/her contribution, by correcting a comma or by re-coding the whole server… Everything is useful!!
By contributing to Khaganat, you then also may learn or practice new things like:
etc, etc..

After getting cancer, I totally understand Walter White, the teacher turned drug kingpin in the amazing show, Breaking Bad. If you have no idea what the show is about (possibly spoiler), a brilliant but bland high school chemistry teacher snapped learning he had terminal lung cancer and decided to create amazing meth in order to leave his family a fortune. In the process, he becomes this badass drug lord who leaves hundreds murdered and his family shattered in his wake.
I get Walter now. I do. Not the committing crimes part, but the letting go of people pleasing and worrying so much about what others think part. I get the part where you become more direct, blunt and fearless.
Where I part ways with Walter is the cold-blooded lack of empathy or compassion he seems to get for nearly everyone, even many in his own family. He kills people. Lots of people, without batting eye and with no remorse. Kids, women, fast food managers, whatever. The show almost implies that dropping toxic personal habits like people pleasing also means not caring about anyone anymore with either.
As for me, and so many cancer patients and survivors I know, it's like my empathy for others has gone through the roof. I'm much more sensitive to what other people are experiencing. My practice as a therapist has gotten so much better, so much more authentic. Just looking at someone crying can make me cry.
This is a good change. A weird change for me, but a good one.
While the idea of running a cut-throat drug operation certainly seems cool, I can't even bring myself to kill a spider, much less a fast food manager.

We all know the difference between a good manager and a great manager – but in the world of sales, where generating business is everything, great sales managers are vital to the success of any company. A sales management course teaches managers how to hone their sales skills so they can supervise sales teams effectively and produce amazing results! And in today's world – where the choice of products and services is so vast – strong sales managers are highly sought after to help businesses stand out from the crowded marketplace. In fact, there's never been a greater need for brilliant sales manager, because a properly trained sales manager won't hit targets – they'll smash targets!
Selling today
Customers today are far savvier than they used to be. Customer review sites and price comparison sites like Which? and Comparethemarket.com provide product reviews and impartial advice so people can make much better-informed decisions. And just as the consumer is better informed about the marketplace, so too must be the sales manager. They must know, not only the product or service that they're selling inside out, but their competitors' products and services too. A sales management course will equip you with the research tools you need to examine a market place, and then tailor and position a product to potential customers. Because these days, one size definitely does not fit all!
What to expect from a course
There's an excellent array of sales management courses out there. You can even study an international sales management course and learn global sales strategies – fantastic if you're looking to work abroad or within an worldwide marketplace. But no matter which course you go for, you should expect to cover some of, if not all of, the following:
· How to effectively profile and categorise customers
· How to develop and oversee procedures and processes for recording sales data
· How to implement sales strategies
· The management of a sales team – how to set targets, monitor progress, maintain motivation
· Sales analysis – how to identify which sales techniques are working and why
Types of courses
From online courses you can complete in the comfort of your own home, to full time undergraduate degrees, you should find a course that's right for you. Before you begin your research, ask yourself:
· What do I want from a course? Think about what it is you want to achieve after you've completed your course. Are you looking to formalise your skills and go for a promotion? If so, professional qualifications from the Chartered Institute of Marketing might be most appropriate. Or are you looking to hone your existing skills and boost your confidence? If so, a shorter course might be better.
· How much time can I spend on a course? It's all very well signing up to a 10-week course of evening classes, or a three year degree, but if you can't keep up with the required time commitment you'll be unhappy and risk dropping out. Be realistic in your expectations; draw up a timetable of your daily activities and highlight the areas where your classes could fit in. Don't forget to leave space for relaxing!
· How much money do I want to spend? Course prices vary greatly. If you're considering a long or intensive course that involves reducing your work hours, think carefully about you'll fund that course over a period of time.
Let's get going!
Lots of sales managers use inspirational quotations from thinkers, sports people and politicians to help keep their teams motivated. Here are a few to get you started…
4. 'The difference between try and triumph is just a little umph!' Marvin Phillips, American football player
5. 'Success is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm.' Winston Churchill, former British prime minister
6. 'You can do anything if you have enthusiasm. Enthusiasm is the yeast that makes your hopes rise to the stars. With it, there is accomplishment. Without it there are only alibis.' Henry Ford, businessman
7. 'For every sale you miss because you're too enthusiastic, you will miss a hundred because you're not enthusiastic enough.' Zig Ziglar, motivational speaker
9. 'You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.' Albert Einstein, physicist
10. 'Set your goals high, and don't stop till you get there.' Bo Jackson, American baseball and football player

Musical devotion is tested to the limit in Whiplash, separating the dreamers from the die-hard players. Since its debut at the Sundance Film Festival, Whiplash has earned a streak of critical praise for its originality and performances, underscored even further that this is director and writer Damien Chazelle's debut feature. Whiplash is the sort of picture most filmmakers are lucky to achieve once in a lifetime, and Chazelle's work demonstrates him to be a master of creative storytelling. Whiplash is white-hot electric, often times full of black humor, other times truly terrifying, themes not associated to drumming but couldn't fit better in Chazelle's powerful, dramatic story.
While it is centered on a student-teacher relationship, Whiplash is not overly sentimental in the slightest, a quality that pertains to most pictures of the genre. The film's protagonist, Andrew Neyman (Miles Teller), a nineteen-year-old Shaffer student, wants to take his musical skills to the next limit, hoping to become associated with the very best. A jazz drummer inspired by legends such as Charlie Parker, Andrew finds guidance under the infamous Terence Fletcher (J. K. Simmons), a ruthless teacher so obsessed with achieving perfection that the slightest mistake or drift from the rhythm will send him into an angry and abusive verbal assault. After Fletcher admits him into his exclusive honors band, Andrew faces a rigorous, intense workout that rivals Sergeant Hartman's military training in Full Metal Jacket.
The major question Chazelle poses onto the audience is whether Fletcher's demanding methods are worthy of merit or not. While Fletcher argues his teaching helps students achieve perfectionism and better the chances for the next Louis Armstrong or Jo Jones, his profane rants don't just pertain to musical ability but personal insults, including taunting Andrew for being abandoned by his mother. Fletcher's controlling nature isn't just cruel, it's psychotic, pushing his band past their physical and mental capabilities.
Focusing on Andrew's devotion as well as his building anxiety, Whiplash is as tense and brutal as Caché. Chazelle does not hold back on any moment of quiet ease, yet does not suffer from excessive or overdone drama. Rather, Whiplash feels completely natural and realistic. Its rich detail of musical fact and depiction of the contemporary jazz scene could alone merit its own documentary and the rich music would inspire a great jazz soundtrack. With the addition of its character-rich story, Whiplash is hugely complex, a movie that is as deep and dark as the work of Kubrick. With his harrowing tone, it's almost unbelievable that this is Chazelle's first feature picture; his mastery of the camera and use of such complex themes show a promising career in the future.
The highlight of Whiplash though is the performances by J. K. Simmons and Miles Teller. Simmons has always been a strong and consistent actor, but his performance as Fletcher is easily the best in his career. Even at Fletcher's most maniacal moments, Simmons' performance never appears as flamboyant or over-the-top, work of a true talent. Teller as well is incredibly convincing in his role as Andrew, an idealist who never lets anything interfere with his goals. His passionate performance is as good as Ellar Coltrane's turn as Mason in Boyhood.
Startling and wildly exhilarating, Whiplash never loses its grip, resulting in a tight and engrossing picture that will entertain even those uninterested in jazz.

June Harwood 2013
June Harwood: Back to the Sixties
January 19 - March 2, 2013
Press Release:
A blue line careens in ever widening circles across a crimson plane. Slivers of chartreuse insert themselves into a carefully sculpted composition of teal and cream. In June Harwood's meticulously free-wheeling 1960's compositions, collisions of bright, clean-edged forms are orchestrated to perfection.
Long associated with California Hard Edge painters, Harwood began exhibiting with Lorser Feitelson, Helen Lundeberg, Karl Benjamin, John McLaughlin and Frederick Hammersley in the early sixties. Though the groundbreaking Four Abstract Classicist exhibition in 1959 (men only) served as the launch pad for Hard Edge painting, Harwood's artwork, along with Lundeberg's, was included in the subsequent exhibitions and helped define an ongoing evolution of the esthetic.
The artist characterized her intent thusly: "My paint application was uniform, that is to say no brush strokes were evident, creating impeccable flat surfaces. Thus there would be no distraction from the intent…which was to create an interplay of color form; abutting forms which could be read as both positive and negative shapes." Fresh, exuberant, visually compelling, though the forms are going on fifty, they don't look a day over today.
Louis Stern Fine Arts is the exclusive representative of the artist.

The parents of Amanda Bynes have been granted a temporary conservatorship over their daughter's affairs as she receives treatment in a psychiatric hospital.
The "Hairspray" star was placed on a 72-day involuntary psychiatric hold on October 10 following days of bizarre behavior. On Tuesday, her treatment at Las Encinas Hospital in Pasadena, Calif., was extended by another 30 days because doctors deemed her unfit for release.
Bynes' parents Lynn and Rick filed legal documents to resume control over the star's affairs. According to papers obtained by TMZ.com, they say she is a "substantial risk" to herself and others and is spending "alarming amounts" of money. The judge granted their request.
In the documents, they state Bynes' only income is from a rental property, but her current net worth stands at $5.7 million.
Lynn and Rick were first granted a conservatorship in August last year after Bynes was placed on a psychiatric hold for the first time. Their control over her affairs ended in June. It is not known when the new conservatorship will expire.

Primavera was every bit as awesome as expected. Barcelona is always a pleasure to visit and having your own apartment (and stellar roof terrace) makes life much nicer.
Suicide and Swans blew my tiny mind. Pulp made me cry a bit and laugh a lot – watching with fellow Sheffielders lead to particularly childish heckling of hometown postcodes and bus routes. PJ Harvey was ethereal as ever. Tune Yards banished a Don Simon hangover. Big Boi played my favourites. Grinderman were tippy-toe terrifying.
It was all awesome, basically, and the booze and food at our place made things even better.

RUNAWAY CHILD: A Memoir
Finding a way past the lifetime effects of childhood sexual abuse through Changing The Story.
Runaway Child, set in post-World-War II England and the United States, describes the personal route taken by Mary-Rose Hayes to counter, and eventually set aside, the long term emotional damage of six years of childhood sexual abuse.
It is told in linear fashion from Hayes' steadily maturing viewpoint from 4 years old to the present.
The language is frank and humorous though at times grimly graphic.
Runaway Child has a wide potential readership, not limited to a previous generation, when a vocabulary for such outrages didn't even exist. Sexual predation of the young has never gone away, and its victims, young and old, continue mostly to suffer alone in shamed silence. Here, Hayes suggests that, if it could happen to me it could happen to anyone; and, I found a way through my personal darkness, and what worked for me might work for you too.
Runaway Child falls into three main sections, with an Introduction. Chapters are relatively short with informal headings:
Just one and only if it's a girl.
I tell my mother all about sex.
Finding the story
SECTION ONE: (What happened):
A personal history as an only child of mismatched parents, multiple cross-country moves, new schools, alcoholism and intensifying abuse, culminating in a euphoric runaway/escape from Britain to the United States at age 17.
SECTION TWO: (What happened next):
Freedom, safety and professional success, tempered by the classic high risk behavior of the oversexualized child (at 19 Hayes lived above a prostitute in a tenement in New York's West Village and knew all the right people with whom to go wrong).
Marriage; recognition of problems and unsuccessful attempts to address them, including encounter groups and writing as therapy {"writing is turning one's worst moments into money" J.P. Donleavy (The Gingerbread Man)}
SECTION THREE: (Getting serious):
Acknowledgement of damage done, the examination of the lives and times of Hayes' parents which included a major depression and two world wars; Hayes' deepened awareness of PTSD and how it related to her own family; her growing belief, while teaching a series of writing classes, that it is possible to Change The Story.

Pixar - Coloring Our Senses
No doubt you have seen at least one Pixar film in the twelve years it has been in existence. Pixar, a made-up Spanish verb meaning "to make pixels" or "to make pictures", is a famously creative animation studio that has become the 'new Disney' by consistently producing films that delight both children and adults.
The vivid color of their animated films has slyly opened the public's eyes to the amazing possibilities that color offers in creating moods, conveying feelings and exciting our senses. Each film's color palette is strikingly different. Who can forget the blue underwater world of 'Finding Nemo', the green world of 'A Bug's Life' or the more subtle colors of 'Ratatouille'...
Why on earth would I be talking about this in a serenity garden blog? Because the color combinations of each Pixar film can teach us a lot about using color and color combinations in the landscape!
It may seem silly to look at 'cartoons' as an educating tool but as Walt Disney said, "I would rather entertain and hope that people learned something than educate people and hope they were entertained. "

Momentary Happiness
Just vaguely philosophical ramblings today I'm afraid.
I had a conversation with a good friend of mine who has been through a lot of pain, and I hate seeing him get hurt, and he declared that he deserved it - which he doesn't.
And so it got me started on a little ramble.
"The worst things often happen to the nicest people, who don't deserve it. Life is not, and will never be, fair. We just put up with it day by day and hope that we might see a little bit of happiness at some point. And then we die, and our children do the same, and so will their children. Until the world ends. Because that's the way the world works. And sometimes people have enough of it and end it before they naturally pass away.
And so those of us that don't cling on to little things like a pretty sunrise, or a starry night. Pleasant conversations and occasional laughter. Because in the end that's all there is, that's all we will ever have

As I'm lying here in bed, ill and feeling sorry for myself (true manflu style) I'm watching films. As many of us do when we are ill. But the story I watched was not one of fiction or of typical american film standards. Although it has a happy ending, it is one which is real and is continuing and gives me hope.
Freedom Writers Diary
Three words you should all look up, buy the book, watch the film, read the stories. Because it's real, and that's amazing. It shows the great difference that even one person can make in society, and the insights which young kids can have into a very complicated world that even adults struggle to understand.
So before you judge someone on their race, background, religion, sexuality or anything else, have a look at this. Because these people aren't so different from you at all, and it is only when you see that, that you will become a better person.

For 21 Months Syria has been in uprising, it has been fighting against itself and rebels and loyalists have gone head to head. UN says over 60,000 people have been killed - just imagine how many people have been hurt. And yet still the world isn't properly doing anything against it.
Assad has stepped up and has addressed the nation, still refusing to step down and to negotiate with those he calls 'rebels and terrorists', and is putting the blame on countries who have 'betrayed Syria'.
Many different countries have called for, and have backed, the idea of Assad stepping down, yet he is still refusing. Yet no real action has been taken by the international community, which AJE attributes to the fear of the Rebels unleashing sectarian revenge killings.
For an event which started happening in the Arab spring it is one which has been going on for the longest without any real decisive action happening on either side. It is apparent that Assad is most definitely a dictator who is refusing to relinquish any power, but it is also apparent that the international community is scared of interfering in case further events veer onto a course they cannot control, a course which will veer away from a pro-western community.
Yet Assad is also calling for peace within his country, how he is going to achieve this remains to be seen, however. In all likelihood his way will be one of aggression, fear, intimidation and military actions. So what is it going to take for the international community to step in?
This whole situation reminds me of an Eddie Izzard sketch where he talks about what he calls 'mass murdering fuckheads' (pardon the English). Where he comments on the fact that international communities tend not to interfere when dictators murder their own people, but only start acting when these nations start on their neighbours.
So it will be an interesting one to watch as this continues to escalate into a greater and greater issue where more people keep killing each other. Me, personally, I don't think peace will come soon.

Olympic Madness
As the olympics further and are now nearing their closing stages, people will slowly have to return to the rest of the world. For a brief period everyone seems to have focused solely on the importance of individuals representing their countries,
In the olympics and in big sporting competitions rivalry and conflict between countries is seen as completely normal, necessary even, and encouraged.
Individuals carry the weight of whole countries on their shoulders and are representing the pride of a nation, shouted at by onlookers, both supportive and wishing for them to lose, to get a gold medal and make the people of their countries proud.
It seems strange that for a brief period millions of people all over the world feel awakened in them a sense of something so primal, so nationalistic, without even realising that really what they're feeling are similar feelings to all the conquerors of the past, the present and even the future. It's encouraged in everyone - people sit their children down in front of the TV; so they, too, can witness this tiny fragment of history and nationalistic pride.
Yet no one draws back to the real conflicts happening in the world, instead everyone chooses to escape, which brings the question - and just think about it - is it healthy?

Infinity vs Finiteness
Talking to someone very close to me I was told that they cannot cope with the ideas of finiteness vs infinity. The fact that something is either completely closed off with a beginning and an end or the idea that it is all open - there is no end to it, it's beyond space and time, freaks them out. Not only does it freak them out but causes them to hyperventilate and shut down.
To me this idea is astonishing, not only because so many questions in life are about mortality versus afterlife and how big space is, but also because I don't find either of those ideas worrying. To me, personally, I find it comforting to know that both sides could exist.
The idea of infinity is one that is as old as the thinkers; gods, afterlife, heaven, hell and even purgatory are all ideas of an eternal afterlife or, in case of the gods, eternal life. The idea that after we die there is somewhere without all earthly issues and worries is fantastic, eternal life in a way that we cannot even begin to fathom. We guess, we assume, but none of us really have a clue as to what would really be waiting for us on the other side. Personally I like to believe in the What Dreams May Come version of heaven, I think it's very beautiful and rather fantastic. If it exists, that is how I believe it would be, something personal, where you can be how and what you wish to be.
Personally I do not think a hell would truly exist if God was one that was truly benevolent, he would not be able to put his creations through such agony, surely. I do believe that purgatory exists, no fire, no joy just never-ending numbness.
However, if neither of those exist I don't have a problem with it. The idea that when we die we are completely done, finished, worm food is also something I find comforting. It gives me a feeling of satisfaction thinking about it that way, if we die we are dead. There is nothing left to worry about and there is no more of you. There is nothingness.
Certainly, it is strange to think about in a way that you will never again know that you have lived on this earth, you are in a way completely erased except for in the memories of the people still alive, in the stories they tell. Slowly all you will be, unless you were a mover or a shaker, is a name on a family tree - a distant relative long long ago. And that is satisfying. There is no wondering whether or not you will have to go through another life for all eternity, there is just the end.
Let me know your thoughts on this, I'd love to hear what you all think. Leave a comment or e-mail email@example.com

The True Meaning of Hip Hop?
The reason I have such an extreme love for hip hop is because the message that lies in true hip hop. This message is that of equality. Not west coast versus east coast but the message before that. The message that it does not matter who you are or where you are from - everybody is equal, everyone was created equally and that is all that truly matters.
It is something which speaks to me, I am the kind of person who has big issues with unfair and unjust treatment of people. It is something which I absolutely can not stand and something that makes me truly angry and even upset. I personally can not understand that people would treat other people in such a way that they are denied their human rights. Denied the freedom. That they are denied everything that they believe in just because one person does not agree with the ideas.
That denial of personal beliefs and the pushing of someone else's ideas onto other people is disgusting. That is the only way that I can describe my emotions. I know that, in a way, I am doing exactly that which I have just describe by writing this, and yet - at the same time - I am also doing the opposite. It's a paradox.
Without those we would not be able to live our lives the way we do. I believe that there is beauty in the paradoxes of the world - they are things we should treasure. But that is for another day.
For me one of the songs which brings this message of true hip hop across is 'The Show Must Go On' by none other than Lupe Fiasco.
"So, no matter what you been through, no matter what you into, no matter what you see when you look outside your window. Brown grass or green grass, picket fence or barbed wire, never ever put them down you just lift your arms higher. Lift them 'til your arms tired, let 'em know you're here. Struggling, surviving. That you gon' persevere."
Not only does that quote from the lyrics point out the importance of equality but also shows the importance of fighting for what you believe for. Everybody should have that right, and if you don't get it you should do something about that. Live in the spirit of Hip Hop.
Equality above anything else, and if it doesn't exist for you - make it.

Oil drilling is necessary for extracting crude oil from underground reservoirs, but there are many negative effects that result from this environmentally invasive process. As noted by LiveScience, oil drilling can destroy whole ecosystems, introduce pollutants into the atmosphere, and displace human and animal populations, among other negative effects.
Crude oil is a natural by-product of the decomposition of prehistoric plant and animal remains into liquid form. This liquid is trapped in underground reservoirs, and its extraction is accomplished by exploring, drilling and then siphoning the liquid into storage vessels.
During the exploration process, oil companies can use seismic waves to locate underground reservoirs. However, the introduction of artificial sonar in marine habitats can damage the echolocation capabilities of whales, dolphins and porpoises, contributing to strandings and beachings. Additionally, while the use of seismic waves helps oil companies to find the general locations of oil reservoirs, it may take multiple drilling iterations to tap in.
During the drilling process, a drill bit is attached to the end of a pipe and lowered to the drilling site, chewing away at the rock and soil layers until a known or suspected oil reservoir is located. Although metal pipes are used for their strength and durability, they are prone to corrosion and are susceptible to damage or failure. Failure means a pipe breaks, so in addition to the metal damage at the drilling site, oil and metal particles can leak out and pollute the collocated ecosystem. This means that plants and animals can die as a result, and it can take years or even decades for an ecosystem to recover. Additionally, humans living around the drilling area can face water and land usability issues, which can result in population displacement.

SMB Summit 4/18
Got in to Dallas Thursday before the big weather event. At least they don't have quite the weather idiots here as back home in Cincinnati. But, I think there were about 5 weather channels on the hotel cable tv. Not sure if there was an actual tornado or not but there were 70 mph winds and hail the size of baseballs (per report). I spoke to several attendees at breakfast this morning that were 3 or 4 hours late getting to the airport here on arrival.
You probably can't make out the speaker in this picture but it's Chris Almida, Program Manager with the Small Business Server team. There are about 450 attendees here and lots of great programming.

It looks like iOS App Store review prompts (i.e. the popups that say something to the effect of, "Like our app? Go rate it five stars!") are back in the public eye. Several people have been debating the pros and cons of this approach to garner reviews, and I'd like to give my two cents.
The whole discussion kicked off when Gruber linked to a moderately amusing Tumblr called Eff Your Review, which features screenshots of iOS apps badgering users to leave (ostensibly positive) app reviews. He added:
I've long considered a public campaign against this particular practice, wherein I'd encourage Daring Fireball readers, whenever they encounter these "Please rate this app" prompts, to go ahead and take the time to do it — but to rate the app with just one star and to leave a review along the lines of, "One star for annoying me with a prompt to review the app."
Cabel Sasser thought this tactic might be a bit too far:
That said, 'give apps that do this 1 star' suggestion bummed me out — stoops to the level of '1 star until you add X feature!'
And last night, Daniel Jalkut weighed in on the matter:
It's smart to take it as given that something should be done to encourage users to leave positive ratings and reviews. That's good business sense. But also take it as given that the farther you tread in the direction of badgering and disrespecting users, the more you chip away at the meaningful non-monetary benefits listed above.
Daniel is absolutely right. Developers have every incentive for using these prompts, and little immediate reason not to, unless swaths of users take Gruber's advice and leave one-star reviews about it.
Like any nuanced discussion, there is no single answer to the problem. Neither side – developer or customer – is necessarily in the right or wrong here. However, I think it could be helpful to lay down some guidelines for the people on either side of the equation. I can't speak for everyone, but I think the following principles would be a good starting point.
Rules for App Developers
Let us opt out. If you simply must have an App Store review prompt in your app, be sure to give users the chance to say "no thanks". Don't pull the kind of bullshit where the only options are "yes" and "remind me later". That's scummy and you know it.
Respect the users' wishes. If a customer chooses to opt out of leaving a review, your app had better not continue prompting them about it afterward. I can live with a one-time popup, but there are some apps that ignore opt-out requests and that is definitely not okay with me. It might even be a good idea to respect opt-outs across app updates, if possible. If I didn't want to review your app two updates ago, I'm no more likely to do so today.
Remember that your app isn't the only one prompting for reviews. Users have to deal with this prompt in a wide variety of apps all the time, even multiple times a day depending on which apps they're using and which ones have updated recently. What you might see as a minor hiccup in the user's workflow is something they may see as a constant annoyance from all the apps they've bought.
Rules for Users
Try to be a little more understanding. At the end of the day, most developers are simply trying to make a living from their work. In all likelihood, all but a few of them would rather leave you alone to enjoy their app, but let's face it: App Store ratings can make or break entire businesses. It's hard to blame them for encouraging people to help out a little.
Go ahead and leave a review, even without being prompted. If a higher percentage of users would leave reviews of their own volition, developers wouldn't feel the need to badger them about it. If you have an app that you love and use all the time, do them a favor and give them a little boost on the App Store so they can continue providing you an awesome experience.
Don't hand out 1-star reviews lightly. This is where I disagree with Gruber's suggestion. As annoying as these popups might be, I don't think it's fair to give an otherwise great app the lowest possible rating. For example, I absolutely love Day One but even it uses the review prompt. I wouldn't dream of giving it a one-star rating just for that, it's too cruel.
I think people are often far too quick to hand out awful ratings just because of a single "missing" feature or other small annoyance. The one exception I would make in this case would be for apps that ignore opt-outs, or fail to provide them altogether.
* * *
While there is room for improvement on both sides of the aisle, my main wish is for each side to be courteous to the other. I don't think that's too much to ask for.

AIMED AT: Teachers, librarians, writers, illustrations, parents and other curious adults interested in learning about the possibilities of philosophical dialogue with children or simply keen on exploring ways of incorporating elements of philosophical dialogue and questioning in their work or interaction with children.
DESCRIPTION: This intensive course is an introduction to philosophical dialogue with children, that combines theory and practice and is aimed at teachers, librarians, parents, writers and illustrations, as well as any other curious adults interested in learning about this practice or simply in incorporating elements of philosophical dialogue and questioning in different activities and levels of education for preschool and primary years, or in literary and artistic creations.
We will read and discuss picture books, listen to philosophical dialogues among kids, and hold our own philosophical dialogues, with a view to providing basic indications and tools for introducing philosophical dialogue in the classroom, in the library, at home or in books.
This workshop is a chance to explore and imagine how one might put into practice the many varied and interesting possibilites offered by the unique combination of creativity and rigour brought by philosophy.
§ Philosophy with children: why and what for? The unavoidability of philosophy and the direct and indirect benefits of philosophical practice with children.
§ Introduction to the concept, the history and the practice of philosophy with children.
§ Basic principles for facilitating philosophical dialogue among children or with children and basic rules for facilitating sessions or simply incorporating dynamics in the classroom or at home. The facilitator's role.
§ The group as a community of inquiry. How does one build a community of inquiry? The model of co-operation and joint construction of meaning versus the knowledge transmission model.
§ Listening in philosophical practice with children.
§ How to encourage and give a central role to questions as starting points but also as arrival points.
§ Images as vehicles for questions.
§ Creative thinking. Philosophical flights of fantasy anchored in internal consistency.
§ Questioning reality and given truths compared to transmitting values. How to distinguish material for 'transmitting values' from material for philosophical dialogue.
§ Guidelines for selecting good picture books (and other stimuli) for philosophical dialogue. How to tell a good stimulus from a poor one.
§ Theoretical and practical references.
ELLEN DUTHIE (Cádiz, 1974). Born in Spain of British parents, Ellen holds an MA in Mental Philosophy from the University of Edinburgh.
A writer, teacher, blogger and translator, her interests are focused on children's literature and philosophy for children. Over the last ten years, she has been developing material to stimulate philosophical dialogue with and among children, using children's literature and visual stimuli as prompts for discussion. She is the author of the concept and texts of the Wonder Ponder series of Visual Philosophy for Children.
She has taught several philosophy programs designed and developed for state and private institutions. She currently runs Filosofía a la de tres (filosofiaaladetres.blogspot.com) and Filosofía de cuento (filosofiadecuento.blogspot.com) for preschool and primary school children respectively.
She has also translated Maurice Sendak's classic work Outside over There (Al otro lado, Kalandraka, 2015) and is the author of the bilingual blog We Read it Like This (wereaditlikethis.blogspot,com), where she reviews picture books, focusing on the experience of reading aloud.
DANIELA MARTAGÓN (México, 1986).
Daniela is a graduate of Visual Arts from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, and holds a Graduate Diploma in Drawing, Graphic Design and Web Design.
Interested in visuals, play and alternative education, her work encompass image, philosophy, narrative and communication.
The freshness and humour in Daniela's illustrations are the result of a self-demanding process which brings together theoretical research and learning of the craft. One of the most striking things about her work is her ability to thoughtfully digest theory from a broad variety of disciplines and then bring it back in the form of deceivingly simple art.
In recent years she has specialised in children's and YA literature and holds a Masters in Picture books from 'i con i' (Madrid). Daniela's work was selected for the 2013 Iberoamerican Catalogue of Illustration.
She is the coauthor and illustrator of the Wonder Ponder series of Visual Philosophy for Children.

This week's FMWFAVs is from our buyer, Sara! See her picks below. You can also see previous staff picks here.
The new issue of Gather Journal just arrived, and it's amazing. Somehow, they were able to successfully merge the eerily cosmic, the prehistoric, and the sometimes absurdity of a museum diorama with rich food photography -- it will force a shift in perspective.
While I'm usually a vintage fan (and the early version of this radio can be found!), the Model 1 by Tivoli is a radio that I have to have. They are minimal in design but manage to package great sound and better reception in a classically beautiful, functional piece that is a joy to use.
Yes!! We just received our 100.2 Baskets from Doug Johnston in specially chosen colors. I can't say enough about how much I admire Doug Johnston's work - his studio's experimentation. It's kinda like exploring how a line can travel through space...

I'm in the process of creating a polyline feature layer of tectonic plates. I'm working with WGS-84 reference system, which means the extent is +-180 in lon, and +-90 in lat. In order to create the features in a correct way, I imported a CSV file with the 4 "corners" and displayed them as points I then snap my features to when I create them.
The problems arises when I want to snap the line to the edge point. It simply doesn't want to create the line all the way, cutting it shy of the actual point.
Here's what I see:
The coordinate is that of my cursor. The green point is (-180,-90).
The green background is another layer I used (continents) to see if there's some kind of error or a general problem, but as you can see, it sits perfectly in place.
I have tried different editor tools (line, polygon, autocomplete), but the problem persists.
I have also tried to extend that segment the the point, as well as moving a node to the point, but it doesn't edit it, and jumps back to it's previous position.
Does anyone know why this happens?
