If there is one person who has done more than anyone to spread the fame of the region of Navarre, that must be the American novelist, journalist and adventurer, Ernest Hemingway. The writer took part in nine celebrations of the San Fermín bull-running festivals, and wrote his novel "The Sun also Rises", which was based on this event, thanks to the deep and enduring impression he received of the bullfighting culture, the gastronomy and the character of the people.
Navarre pays tribute to this famous visitor with the "Hemingway route", a unique and interesting tour which allows visitors to follow the footsteps of the writer and to discover the places where the Nobel prize-winner ate, drank, amused himself and slept.
The route features a dozen different sites in Pamplona alone; this is the capital of Navarre and the site of the bull-running spectacle known as the "San Fermines". These include such legendary spots as the Café Iruña, one of Hemingway's favourite haunts, where you will find a bronze life-size sculpture of the journalist. You can also visit the Gran Hotel La Perla (where Hemingway used to stay in room 217 with views over the Calle Estafeta so he could watch the bull-running) and the Hemingway monument, a block of granite weighing 8,000 kilos which stands in front of the bull ring.
The route through Pamplona involves a comfortable walk which can be done within a day. However if you have a car, you can extend your tour to other places in Navarre which were also favourites of Hemingway's. These include villages such as Auritz-Burguete, Aribe, Lekunberri and Yesa. All these were chosen by the writer as places to rest after the festivities, enjoy the countryside and indulge in one of his favourite pastimes: fishing. This route through Navarre covers an itinerary of about 130 km.
Don't miss the chance to explore all the places described by one of the world's most internationally famous writers. Check all the information at the official website of the Navarre Tourist Board.
Things to remember: If you are going to combine this route with the festivities of San Fermín, make you plan your trip for the month of July. There are several companies who provide expert guides (in both English and Spanish) to accompany you on this route, and who will arrange a tour around Navarre, including accommodation.

China plane searching for jet spots 3 objects
March 29, 2014
BEIJING (AP) — China's state news agency says a Chinese aircraft has spotted three suspicious objects floating in a search area for the missing Malaysia Airlines jet.
Xinhua News Agency said Saturday that the Chinese military plane Ilyushin IL-76 sighted the three floating objects of white, red and orange colors respectively, from an altitude of 300 meters (yards).
Flight 370 disappeared March 8 while bound from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. Investigators believed it crashed in the southern Indian Ocean, where planes and ships have been looking to recover any debris.

I went for the Purple Haze based on it's neutrality and the swatches on Messywands impressively accumulated stash of the lipcremes (here). I'm often curious why someone loves one product so much to buy every colour of it, and for this lipcreme I have to say "it's quite good". There is a bit of a plasticy undertone in it's vanilla-based scent, but that wisps away soon.
The "Purple Haze" colour is a bit of a lilac/greyish nude on on my lips, which sounds incredibly weird but in real life it's the kind of hue that makes my lips look plumper: the lilac makes the green in my eyes stand out more and it's nude-eque tone actually doesn't need to compete with a stronger eye (makeup), but still present enough to prettify my skinnier pout.
It's my most expensive lipgloss/cream to date, and got a bit of discount during beautybay.com's advent calender that made me take the plunge. I think my Shiseido Maquillage lipsticks are my most expensive ones afterwards *edited: that's pricy Tom Ford instead*. However, those are lipsticks and I'm not a true lipgloss person so I never shell out on them
Ps1: exception, a Burberry lipgloss of €25 and I don't like it as much.
Ps2: the lipcreme's are not real lipglosses but lipbalm/gloss/stick hybrids, me likey
So, after Zuneta there is is Beautybay that sell these too :-)

Former AC/DC Drummer Tony Currenti Ends 38-Year Stage Hiatus
Tony Currenti, the session drummer who handled most of the drumming duties for AC/DC's debut album, recently returned to the stage after nearly 40 years away from public performance.
Author Jesse Fink, the writer behind 'The Youngs: The Brothers Who Built AC/DC,' shared the news via his book's Facebook page, posting a few pictures from the evening and writing, "After 38 years away from music, 'High Voltage' and "74 Jailbreak' drummer Tony Currenti made an impromptu return to the stage last night at the Bald Faced Stag in Leichhardt, Sydney, stepping up to play three songs with a couple of local musicians. Lucky crowd, historic night. Onya, Tony!"
Currenti, briefly made his way into the lineup as a replacement for Peter Clack, who was on his way out of the band. Already a member of the Australian act Jackie Christian & Flight prior to playing for AC/DC, Currenti can also be heard on 1984′s "74 Jailbreak' release.
In a recent interview with the St. George & Sutherland Shire Leader, Currenti explained that "Complications because of his Italian passport prevented him from joining the band when they went overseas in 1975." By the end of the '70s, he'd walked away from his music career entirely; today, he runs a pizzeria in Sydney, and apparently hasn't seen the members of AC/DC in years. (As the article puts it, "His efforts to meet up with the band during their 'Black Ice' tour in early 2010 were unsuccessful.")
No word on whether Currenti's latest gig is the beginning of some fresh non-culinary activity, but you're never too old to make some noise — and as his own Facebook page shows, he also recently met up with former AC/DC bassist Mark Evans.

A death in the family brings a man back to his family and his hometown in this drama. After his brother Alex (David Recha) goes missing under hazy circumstances, Pau (David Selvas) gets the bad news that Alex has died after a successful suicide attempt.
Pau travels to the village in Spain's Pyrenees mountains where he was born to break the sad news to his mother Merce (Alicia Oroxco); hoping to spare her feelings at a difficult time, he tells her that Alex was killed in an auto accident.
As Merce mourns the death of her son, she and Pau set out to find Alex's friends and acquaintances and tell them of his sad fate.
In their travels, they encounter Sara (Marieta Orozco), Alex's girlfriend, who planned to move away to the city with him; Emil (Luis Hostalot), an engineer who will be putting a highway through the town; Marta (Nathalie Boutefeu), Emil's daughter; and Toni (Juan Marquez), one of Emil's co-workers. Circumstances bring Pau and Marta together again when Emil disappears, and Marta finds herself searching for her father.
Pau I El Seu Germa was the second feature from director Marc Recha, who won international acclaim with his debut, El Arbol De Las Cerezas.

A Visit With Peoplefinders at RootsTech
Peoplefinders was a new vendor at RootsTech and a new-to-me vendor as well. I love me some records databases, so I went over there to view their wares. I did not tell them I was an Official Blogger, a regular blogger, or that I was a crazy library-type lady who asked odd questions about user experiences searching databases. I wanted the regular sales pitch so I could form my own impression.
The Peoplefinders crew was touting their new website myrelatives.com. It focuses on public records for living people for the most part. There are no secret records. All of this information is available somewhere online. They just collect it and provide it neatly and quickly.
The Peoplefinders employee that was answering my questions used a test name to show me how the site works. The results returned included property records, relationship records (marriage, divorce), vitals (birth, death), censuses and more. Lots more. Names, addresses, phone numbers, etc.
There is also a family tree component where you can build your own tree at the site, just like all the other genealogy records vendors out there
Where is gets interesting is that in myrelatives.com, you can attach records and add people to your tree just like you can do at Ancestry.com. It is but a mere click of the mouse, and a living someone and their public record are part of your family tree.
Now I've seen the messes that result from the click-and-add options for adding people on Ancestry.com family trees. There are trees where a couple has 16 children, 13 of them are the same person just added 13 times because of lazy record attachment. At myrelatives.com, the same situation can happen...but with living people. Anyone can pull your records and add you their family tree. 13 times if they feel like it.
Is there a way to prevent others from adding me to their tree? She didn't know and went to ask. I felt a little uneasy knowing some lazy genealogy yahoo could add me and my public information to their family trees. I accept that the info is out there, I want to prevent it from being gathered if possible. The Peoplefinders person told me I'd have to make a request to have my file suppressed.
Apparently you don't have to be a member of myrelatives.com to construct a family tree. If you build a family tree and your membership lapses do you still have access to your tree? She went off to ask again. The answer is no.
$11.95 per month was the price I was quoted for myrelatives.com. There is also a $24.95 version with more options at peoplefinders.com. I was also told there will eventually be a Peoplefinders Pro edition that will have much more powerful options for finding living people. This one will be contract only.
My initial impression is that myrelatives.com might be an option for novice searchers and those who aren't familiar with public records. This is certainly a large group of those who casually do family history. I'm pretty confident with my own public records searching ability to do without this site for now. It didn't quite hook me in yet.
I did not test peoplefinders.com, so I can't tell you how that was, nor can I discuss Peoplefinder Pro.
Our own data = $$$ now so look for more public records vendors to pop up in the future. If you see Peoplefinders at an exhibit hall, do some test searches and let me know what you think.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The MIT women's fencing team kicked off Northeast Fencing Conference action on Saturday by defeating UMass Amherst (22-5), Wellesley College (21-6), University of New Hampshire (26-1), Brandeis University (15-12), Sacred Heart University (14-13), and Boston University (20-7). Senior Robin Shin (Brookline, Mass.) won all 18 of her sabre bouts while freshman Laura Jarin-Lipschitz (Rosemont, Pa.) was nearly flawless in the epee competition as she finished at 17-1.
The sabre team compiled a 47-7 ledger as it swept Wellesley and UNH, dismissed UMass Amherst and Sacred Heart by 8-1 margins, topped BU, 7-2, and defeated Brandeis, 6-3. Senior Annabeth Gellman had the second-best outing for MIT as she went 15-3 while freshman Madison Douglas (Concord, Mass.) registered a total of 13-3. Sophomore Eliza Mace (Lansdowne, Va.) completed the contingent by winning one of her two bouts on the day.
Following Jarin-Lipschitz's outstanding epee performance, sophomore Sarah Alkilany (Brooklyn, N.Y.) produced a tally of 15-3. Freshman Mounica Paturu (Plainsboro, N.J.) turned in a 13-3 performance as classmate Manting Lao (Columbus, Ohio) picked up a win in one of her two outings. Like the sabre squad, the epee unit went undefeated en route to a total of 46-8. Highlights included 9-0 wins over UMass Amherst and UNH to go along with an 8-1 decision against Brandeis.
Sophomore Rebecca Shi (Plainsboro, N.J.) led the foil team with a record of 11-7 followed by senior Julia Kimmerly (Middlesex, Vt.) at 9-9. Sophomore Sherry Ren (Katy, Texas) and freshman Ceri Riley (Kirkland, Wash.) rounded out the squad with tallies of 2-5 and 3-8, respectively. The Engineers finished the day with a record of 25-29, which featured an 8-1 victory over UNH, a 6-3 decision versus BU, and 5-4 wins against UMass Amherst and Wellesley.
Next up for the Engineers will be the Brandeis University Invitational on Sunday, Dec. 2.

On only 1 of today's gay marriage rulings was the court divided by ideology
WASHINGTON (AP) — In only one of today's two gay marriage cases did the 5-to-4 ruling break down along ideological lines.
That was the case in which the Supreme Court rejected part of the federal Defense of Marriage Act as unconstitutional, since it deprived legally-married same-sex couples of federal benefits that went to other married couples.
Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote the majority opinion in that case, joined by the court's liberal justices.
In that case, Justice Antonin Scalia read from his dissent, in which he ridiculed the majority, accusing them of demonizing anyone who opposed gay marriage as being an "enemy of human decency." Also dissenting were Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas.
The other 5-to-4 ruling, clearing the way for gay marriage to resume in California, was based on technical legal reasoning, rather than on the issue of gay marriage itself. Roberts wrote that opinion, joined by Scalia and Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer and Elena Kagan.

|Hard to beat the BlitzKing when it comes to vaporizing prairie dogs. I use this bullet in my 25/06 Ackley and its like shooting a laser out to 400 yards. I'm looking forward to taking this on an antelope hunt cause I know this bullet will flat destroy prairie goats. Thanks for an excellent product.

|I have been looking for a longer range projectile for my 25/06 for quite a while now and after testing these I have found it. Hand loading produced excellent results in accuracy and velocity, and with the high BC holding the energy to be effective at longer ranges. Many thanks Sierra, this fits in exactly where I needed it.

Samson: Club focused on improving pace of play
MIAMI -- Getting calls on the field correct is vital, but so is the pace of game, says Marlins president David Samson.
Major League Baseball is planning to adopt expanded replay review next season, which raises concerns that games will be lengthened.
MIAMI -- Getting calls on the field correct is vital, but so is the pace of game, says Marlins president David Samson.
Major League Baseball is planning to adopt expanded replay review next season, which raises concerns that games will be lengthened.
The way Samson sees it, there are positives and negatives to an increased number of replays under a challenge system.
"Instant replay is very complicated," Samson said. "It's very costly, and you can see it delays the game. There is no doubt about it. The most important thing is to get plays right, but you want to get them right in a timely fashion. Our focus in Miami here is pace of game. The games are going too long."
According to MLB figures, nine-inning regular-season games averaged close to 2 hours, 59 minutes. With the stakes higher in the playoffs, postseason games have averaged 3 hours, 22 minutes.
"If we want to engage fans [aged] 18-49, we have to play faster," Samson said. "To do it, there has to be decisions made, and replay has to be like that [a snap]. We've got cameras available. There needs to be a call on the field, a replay, and an overturn within 60 seconds. Period. We're not going to put up with 3 1/2-hour games. Our fans don't want it. We're going to do anything we can."
Game 1 of the World Series featured a rare overturn on a play that was not subject to instant replay.
In the first inning of Boston's 8-1 win over St. Louis, Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz grounded to the right of second base. St. Louis was attempting to get a force at second, but shortstop Pete Kozma dropped the ball.
Initially, second-base umpire Dana DeMuth ruled baserunner Dustin Pedroia out, indicating that Kozma had dropped the ball while relaying it from his glove to his throwing hand. The Fenway Park crowd erupted in disbelief, and TV replays clearly showed Kozma never had possession of the ball.
The six umpires huddled and reversed the call.
Commissioner Bud Selig praised the way the umpires handled the situation. Still, the process of getting the call right took more than four minutes.
"I watched the play right away, and it was obvious what happened. So I give the umpires a great deal of credit. I really do. They made the right decision," Selig told reporters at the World Series on Thursday. "The one thing I will say, I time everything. And if you took all the debates, instant replay there would have saved us a lot of time. So they made the right decision there, and I give them a lot of credit. One of them said today in the paper, 'We're supposed to get it right.' And they did."
With advanced replay technology, Samson believes decisions on replays shouldn't last more than 80 seconds, counting the challenge and umpires actually reviewing the TV monitors.
At Marlins Park, Samson said the organization is undergoing an internal study to see where it can shave time off home games. The team is reviewing everything from how often batters step out of the box to pitching changes and substitutions.
"For us, these four-hour games and 3 1/2-hour games, it can't happen," Samson said. "We are studying all of our home games, and we're finding out what can we do to shave our running time. This is a Marlins thing, because I've had it. Our fans have had it."
Samson said if three instances can be found in which 20 seconds each can be found, that trims one minute.
"My goal is to get these games down," Samson said. "There should be 2-hour, 35-minute games. That's what there should be."

The Fight Has Officially Been Brought to a NJ Gunowner's Front Door
This is going around the interwebs at lightning fast speed. How would most people here have reacted to this situation specifically? I know I would have refused permission to search, like the linked OP did, but I am going to give a refresher to my 2 college aged sons and make this required reading for them. You?

That is difficult to believe; surely somebody in that decision chain messed up on departmental procedure or something.
Best wishes to the linked OP and his kid. I think he did the right thing (and the legal thing).

It would be really good if you could find a news report on this.

I know I've seen the picture of the kid on Facebook. Maybe someone can track down a verifiable story that way?

I've done a little research and I can't find any independent verification of this, but in the link itself there are people advising him to clam up and get a lawyer rather than publicize the situation. It seems like good advice, and he may have taken it, but at this point I sure don't have enough proof for me.

This was in New Jersey -- it's entirely plausible.
I don't even live in New Jersey. I know of not one but TWO small-ish towns in my state where gun shops have opened within the past six months, and in BOTH towns the zoning boards are scrambling to try to craft regulations that will make it so no other gun shops can open in their towns.
I find it ironic that FBI statistics show so many more murders being committed with hammers than with rifles. The uproar in both towns is that these shops might sell the same kind of evil assault weapon that was used at Sandy Hook. Meanwhile, each of these gun shops is within maybe 200 feet of a hardware store, where they sell (OH THE HORROR!) HAMMERS! ... yet there's no rush to ensure that nobody can open another hammer store in either town.

Noone should be shocked when it involves social services. I would think a good bit of legal advice is necessary for those who haven't had to deal with them. I have and it feels like having a barbed wire stuck up your rearend.
During my divorce I had a call on me claiming I had guns laying all over my house that my kids to get to. I have a 30 gun fireproof safe I keep my guns in. When the social worker came I could have been hateful but I let em in and showed them my safe.
Why did I do this? Because not too long before we had another fictictious accusation and when I would not allow the workers in they acted to themselves as if I was acting postal ( I wasn't) so they called for the cop and he showed up and told me I couldn't keep them out and yelled down my shirt collar in front of my kids (he apologized later).
Its basically their word against yours. They have a lot of authority and can make things look pretty bad for you if you don't watch your ps and qs. They can take your kids and you would have to get a lawyer to get them back.
Maybe the best thing to do when a social worker comes to your door is not answer it and go hide.

My local LGS has a customer that had about 20 handgun permits. (In NJ you need a separate permit to purchase each handgun and a copy goes to local LE.) One day they came knockin' and wanted to see all the handguns he had permits for. (I guess to make sure he still had them all because private sales of handguns in NJ isn't much different from buying from a FFL - you still need a permit.)
Whether the police had cause to get a warrant was an unknown issue at the time and his lawyer wasn't available. So rather than make the police get a warrant and risk divulging what other guns he had, he had them wait outside while he gathered up his permits and registered handguns.
That's what gun registration is all about in NJ folks.

Okay the national media is now on the story finally
There are quotes and confirmation from his attorney, as well as further clarification from him.
No one from either government agency in NJ will even return calls, let alone deny the incident.
Looks like it did indeed happen folks.
The part I find the most troubling is the refusal by the dyfs worker to identify herself or show any proof of her position at all.

They do make up their own rules as they go along. I'm sure the government-sponsored departments of youth and family services (whatever name they use in the various states) are even worse, but I had a run-in with a private social worker when my wife and I were adopting a few years ago.
We had to undergo a series of lengthy and invasive interviews with a licensed "adoption services" social worker as part of the home study evaluation process. I had thought "home study" was basically just a one-time, white glove inspection of the house. Oh, no! It's an entire process, involving much time, energy, and money (mine). They also probe every orifice of your personal history.
I'm a Vietnam veteran. She wanted official clearance reports from the police departments of every place I have ever lived, including every station to which I was assigned while in the Army. I served in Vietnam. She wanted a document from the Vietnamese government certifying that I had never been arrested in that country. I pointed out that the government in power when I was there no longer exists and the current government of Vietnam wasn't likely to have records of what sexual or child abuse charges the former government of South Vietnam might have had for American servicemen. She finally settled on a report from the U.S. Army archives saying they had no records of me doing anything naughty.
Then came the guns. Even before we got to her actual home visit, she freaked when she learned I own (gasp!) GUNZ! She told us that ("of course") all firearms have to be locked up. I pointed out that, since at the time we had no children living with us, my guns did NOT have to be locked up. However, they were anyway, so she didn't take on that argument.
Then she said ALL ammunition had to be locked up. I again pointed out that there is no law requiring that I keep ammunition under lock and key. Her response, after some sniffing and coughing and hemming and hawing, was (get ready, here it comes) "Well, WE require it." (She said the same thing about a carbon monoxide detector.)
So I found a company that had moved out of its old headquarters and left a bunch of furniture, begged the site manager to give me one of those 2-door black steel office cabinets, threw a cheap padlock on it, and I had an ammo cabinet. In fact, it didn't hold nearly all my ammo, but she didn't recognize 50-cal ammo cans as what they are so she saw a cabinet with some boxes of "bullets" in it, and she was satisfied.
But they do make this stuff up as they go. After all, "It's for the children."

Hmmmm. Doesn't seem that these government employees are acting responsibly nor within their legal parameters. I hope his attorney pursues whatever legal recourse he has in order to expose, and bring these people to justice.

The Fight Has Officially Been Brought to a NJ Gunowner's Front Door
The thing I find most troubling is threatening to take the kids. If the anti gun crowd can get one law abiding citizen to react with base emotional fear, such as I would imagine many good parents might do, then they can promote a "crazy gun nut/ government martyr" situation to boost their. I applaud Mr. Moore for reacting in a calm manner.

Yeah, social media is very dangerous for a person who believes strongly in protecting their privacy.
Also I would love some information on what can be done about a CPS visit. I had a lawyer tell me that the best thing to do is cooperate but that if I did have something to hide than to outright refuse to let them enter without a warrant.
Once again after very careful thought I decided to not answer the phone if it says Child protective services, not answer the door and play like no one is at home, or if I am asked to meet them or receive a visit to have my children secured in another location. To also play very stupid on the matter altogether as if I didn't know I was supposed to have my kids present.
What happens than of course is they will nab them at school.
Too many horror stories I have heard of people even being lied to about a harmless meeting to the CPS office with their kids only to find a police officer there to make sure everything goes in their favor and a CPS worker sending you home without your kids.
I can't understand how CPS can have the authority to just pop up at your front door and demand to enter your home without even making an appointment based on a complaint (sources are never given).
The constitution clearly says that a warrant is necessary.

I found this source as a good primer
Lots of room for interpretation by a social worker and police officer.
Generally though it appears they have no right to enter your property without a warrant if there is no apparent threat of immediate danger to the child is evident. Supposedly an anonymous complaint is not sufficient evidence to believe that the child or children are in imminent peril.
On the other hand if the visit involves something administrative such as whether your house is up to some kind of safety code than you can not refuse them entry.
Seizing of your child is even more open to interpretation.

Re: The Fight Has Officially Been Brought to a NJ Gunowner's Front Door
Just pointing thing out. He said he came home and they were already in his house. Meaning his wife had let them in. Whether she was forced to or not I don't know. But fact is they were let in.
Course he had the right to end the "search" and require a warrent which he did soon as he got home.
Least I got that from the op so could be mistaken

TRAFFIC this morning seems to be moving a little better than yesterday's chaos.
Park End Street was shut yesterday as Thames Water begins repair work on a sewer that has partially collapsed because of a 'fatberg' - a mass of fat and other items flushed down drains.
It led to horrific traffic delays yesterday and these are expected to continue over the project's two-week schedule.
So far this morning:
- Abingdon Road is moving. Queuing in Oxpens and Hollybush Row.
- Traffic is largely now stationary on Botley Road.
- Queuing traffic southbound on the A34 leading to Botley.
- Traffic is stacked up to Eynsham Road and on the A420 approaching the Botley interchange. One of our reporters is saying it is worse this morning than it was at the same time 24 hours ago.
- Traffic is building up in Beaumont Street but Banbury Road and St Giles is clear. So far that route is running more smoothly than yesterday, taking an estimated 30 minutes from North Oxford to the station.
- The approaches on the A34 at Hinksey Hill are also beginning to see queues. West Way is also queueing.
- The bus companies are not reporting any delays above those expected because of having to divert some of their routes.
We will update this information as it comes to hand for this morning's rush hour.

Mutual Funds as Venture Capitalists? You Bet (Literally)
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Is your mutual fund moonlighting as a venture capitalist? Kirsten Grind of the Wall Street Journal has a good read on the subject Monday.
Increasingly, mutual-fund managers are buying small stakes in closely watched, privately held startups such as Airbnb and Pinterest.
Risky or seizing underappreciated opportunities? Here's what happens when it works:
Henry Ellenbogen, manager of T. Rowe's $16.2 billion New Horizons Fund (PRNHX), put money into Twitter Inc. (TWTR) before it went public, and has since bought shares in other big names including LivingSocial Inc., a daily deals site, and GrubHub Inc. (GRUB) a food-delivery service, according to T. Rowe.
Mr. Ellenbogen's fund returned 49.1% last year, beating its benchmark, the S&P 500, which returned 32.4%, according to fund-research firm Morningstar Inc. He invests only a small percentage of the funds' assets in any one startup and holds about 260 stocks in the fund, realizing that some of the startups might fail, according to a person familiar with his thinking.
What happens when it doesn't work? There were lots of examples in the technology bust of the turn of the century:
"These are unproven companies that could very well fail," says Todd Rosenbluth, director of mutual fund research at S&P Capital IQ. If things go badly for a startup, "there may not be an exit strategy" for the fund firm. ...
Another fear among some analysts is that this rush into pre-IPO stocks has echoes of the 1990s dot-com bubble, when many fund managers got badly burned by ill-timed moves into technology shares. Janus and Fidelity had funds that suffered large losses in the dot-com crash.

Neil LaBute Stays Classy
But even more awesome is Caitlin Montanye Parrish's review of Chicago Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew. This version famously has a framing device written by well known contemporary scribe Neil LaBute, a playwright whose misogyny and misanthropy know few bounds, and whose movie career includes such classics as The Wicker Man. The response to the new material has been generally mixed to negative, but for some reason LaBute (or someone claiming to be him), went on the warpath against Parrish. The initial comment was this:
"and the crazy thing is, ms. parrish, they PAID me to do it! i got to spew all that 'predictable bile' and they wrote me a check for the privilege. probably lots more than you got paid for your review. that hardly seems fair and yet there it is. the way of the world. you spew your bile, i spew mine, and may the best man (or whatever) win. "fuck this!" may not be a thesis or a revelation, but it's exactly what i was thinking when i read your sorry excuse for theatrical criticism."
And we were off to the races, with "LaBute" (we still have no proof whether it is really him) tossing nasty ad hominem attacks at Parrish (suggesting she see the show again and stop paying attention to the codpieces) and critics in general ("critics are the one element that is of little or no use to the creative process (and one of the very few who don't ever pay for a ticket!) even the audience lends some creative element to the experience of theater--the critic will always be reactive and parasitic. i didn't make it that way, it's just the way it goes.") and generally flinging vitriolic and nonsensical attacks at everyone. (Granted, people eventually started baiting him, because it was just so damn funny.)
Then this hilarious blog post was published by Eric Roach and Anderson Lawfer, and now LaBute has started attacking them as well ("Have fun being stuck in Chicago forever you talentless fucks," said he). So the joy will doubtless continue.
My main purpose here was to alert you all to the hilarity and assholery, but here are a few of my thoughts on this, for free.
1) Nice review, Caitlin. Clear, intelligent, made a persuasive case, fun to read.
2) Neil, do you really have nothing better to do? Really? If you got the "gigantic check" you said you did, why are you bothering yourself with this particular review? (And why didn't you attack the negative review in, say, the Tribune?) Why not just laugh all the way to the bank?
3) Are all critics parasites? Really? Even the ones who creamed their jeans over your early plays, and the ones who still do? Or just the ones who speak ill of your shows?
4) To end on a positive note: thank you for The Wicker Man. It is one of the most intensely entertaining movies I have ever seen. Granted, that is because it is howlingly misogynistic, ludicrously plotted, completely devoid of scares, and features Nicolas Cage at his looniest, but entertaining is entertaining.
Anyone else have a thought or two on this?

I'd say the odds that that's really Neil LaBute are about the same as my having sex with Angelina Jolie.
Of course, I'm wrong all the time...
- April 23, 2010 at 3:54 PM
- Mr. K said...
So Neil LaBute's career path has been:
1. writing about emotionally stunted, vicious white men
2. writing about emotionally stunted, vicious white men who are writers
3. directing movies he wrote about... etc.
4. directing Nic Cage, in a movie about how white males are destroyed by women
5. directing movies about white men being victimized by black people
6. directing black people being black people & doing black things
7. writing about lesbians & Shakespeare
Can someone please do a power-point, because I think I missed a couple steps here.

What very very little respect I had for Neil LaBute went out with his response.
Catilin's review was very clear and well-written. And I do agree with you, after the crazy response that critics had to his earlier reviews, if this is the real Neil LaBute, why is he caring about this?
After all, people will keep producing his works because of that.
If LaBute would like, I can introduce him to people at The Theatre School at DePaul University that think he's a feminist.
- April 23, 2010 at 3:58 PM
- Erica said...
FTR: My sources at Shakes tell me that it is in fact LaBute himself. When I jumped into the comment thread, it was partially to defend Caitlin against what I thought was a really unfairly personal attack, and also to submit that whoever was impersonating Neil LaBute online was making the author himself look really bad.
As the comment thread became a flame-war, and he started insulting other commenters in addition to critics, I grew surer and surer - this is an internet troll. There's no way a playwright of note (however intensely I dislike his plays or his worldview) is spending this kind of time and vitriol on one critic. But no, as it turns out - Neil LaBute is His Own Troll.
As to why this review caused him to flip the fuck out and not other negative reviews? I can only assume that it was a combo of 1) Caitlin really hitting a nerve and 2) Caitlin being a woman. I think he thought he was lashing out at an easy target.
The winner in all of this so far? Caitlin Parrish, who wrote a clever review that both praised the production and cast while taking down the modern framework, and who has stayed gracefully above the fray - not feeling the need, as LaBute does, to defend her writing by tearing other people down.

labute was acting like a petulant ass on the comment thread--showed a serious lack of maturity and his behavior is indefensible. that said, i think probably was set him off was that caitlin gave away the "end" of his little skit. that, and the fact that she's a woman.

Bio from Tyson McAdoo's Site:
Born from the secret love affair between a famed Scottish ballerina and the Wolfman, Tyson McAdoo spent his younger years leaping and howling in the dark woods of Carlisle. At age 18 his talents of corn dog sculpture garnered the attention of the Joe Kubert School of Cartooning and Graphic Arts… [Video and Pictures on expanded page]
Upon graduation in 1999 he was tormented by society for his Wolfish and Dark Horse Comics. It was while working there he learned of the illusive southern unicorn whose blood was said to relieve the curse of the wolf hair. He quickly fled south, searching for the illusive creature…
Interview by Crash
Crash: When did you first know that you were an artist?
Tyson McAdoo: I still don't know if I'm an artist… I guess this story starts at "I used to be a professional ballet dancer." But when I was 17, I broke both of my knees dancing… so that ended that.
Then I was faced with finding out what else I could do, but it needed to be a job that I could sit down at. I was never that great in school so I knew college was out. But then my mom found this little art school in N.J. called the Joe Kubert School of Comic Books and Cartooning. It was a three-year school that taught you how to draw Superman and X-Men and no art history, so off I went. Knowing very little about art I slowly found myself becoming an "artist" at that school.
C: Who is most responsible for you being able to pursue a career in art?
TM: Without a doubt it is my dad and mom. They put me through art school and they were there to help me out when living as an "artist" got thin.
C: List some key pieces of your resume for us…
TM: I worked for Marvel and DC Comics for five years… –worked on Wolverine, X-Force, Warlock, Green Lantern, Big Daddy Danger and some others. I did the art for the Britney Spears Circus World Tour… –a really bizarre job, but it was still fun! Now I work for
Cartoon Network and Adult Swim.
C: You are one cross-cultural S.O.B. How have you managed to secure such a respected place in the tattoo, comic and cartoon communities?
TM: I have no idea? I just do what I do. I don't think the tattoo and cartoon worlds are that different. They are both based on art. No matter if you are doing a crazy colored portrait on a thigh or you're drawing Mickey Mouse on paper it all comes down to art skill. And hell, we are all kind of nerdy in our own way so it just works. But I am very, very thankful for the tattoo world accepting me as one of their own. There are so many amazingly talented artists in the biz and i'm just happy to be around and call them friends.
C: What is it that drives your work? I know it's not just getting dates anymore, ha… (Congratulations on your honeymoon, by the way!)
TM: Ha-ha! Yeah thanks man! The drive comes for my love of art and women. The woman's body and form is everything an artist could ask for: curves, straight lines, texture, color… its got it all. I always find something new about it with every new piece.
You know, I also want to leave a good mark on the art world. Not that anything I'm doing is new, but I just want to add my little twist to it. I want a kid some day to look at my stuff and get excited just like I did at old Playboy cartoons.
C: I'd really like to have you do a little Step-By-Step article with us soon; would you tell our readers about the tools you are using now… And how your art has evolved by implementing cutting edge technology.
TM: That would be great fun! I have no secrets.
C: Who have been the artists most influential to you personally and professionally?
TM: Holy crap where do I start!!! In the world of pin-ups: you can't beat Bill Ward, Jack Cole and Eric Stanton. In the comic world: Bruce Timm, J. Scott Campbell, Adam Hughes and Alberto Ruiz. Tattoos: dudes like Eric Jones, Daniel Albrigo, Adam Hathorn, Thomas Hooper, Chad Koeplinger and Jeff Rassier… I could do this all day. Most recently painters Shawn Barber, Glenn Barr and George Condo are who I'm looking to…
C: Where do you see Tyson McAdoo's art in two years? Five? Beyond?
TM: Another pin-up artist once told me, "As long as men like women… We will have a job." All I can hope for is to still be drawing, having fun and making people smile… Oh, and painting landscapes. It's my new thing but it's just for me.
C: Talk about the common themes in your work. Why are you drawn to these subjects?
TM: The only themes in my works are women! The reason I am drawn to this great subject is…. many years spent in dance class and Benny Hill! His TV show had a big affect on me when I was young.
C: What tattooers have you collected work from and what are those tattoos?
TM: "Collected" is the most perfect word when it comes to getting tattooed. I have a lot of great art hanging in my house but my real art "collection" is on my body. I'm very lucky to have been tattooed by some of the best! Scott Sylvia, Eric Jones, Mike Wilson, Steve Byrne, Pat Carmack, Mario Desa, Chops, Russ Abbot, Jeff Zuck, Phil Colvin, Nick Rodin, Jason Mcafee, Vicky Coleman, Gunnar and Eric Dressen… But I still have so many more to go!

What Constitutes Child Pornography?
Since we're on the topic of adult entertainment...
Pressure grows in Japan for stronger laws against child pornography

And so conservative Kyoto continues to be on the frontlines. It's one of, if not the, earliest prefectures to have a universal age of consent of 18 (most prefectures only limit age of consent with major-minor relations), and in general has show much tougher tendencies than the rest of Kinki (especially when compared to Osaka).

Sex always sells. It depends on how it is being portrayed to suit general tastes. Rather than adding one law after another, isn't it time to revamp the system of public education for the youth?

Let's address the elephant in the room: Is child pornography desirable? What qualifies as child pornography? Should we care that demand for child pornography is rising rapidly in Japan, as the police claim?

Possession is a more complex matter. People who purchase such materials or obtain them by other means all contribute to the exploitation of the children depicted. However, simply throwing these people into jail for some period of time ignores the deeper psychological issues involved. I would sentence first offenders to a psychiatric institution for a period of time so they could work with competent professionals to deal with their addiction. After release, the offenders should be monitored closely to see if they have reverted back to their old ways. A second offense should lead to jail time.
Pornographic illustrations where no real-life children are involved may actually have a positive effect. They give people who suffer from this psychiatric disorder a fantasy outlet that does not harm any actual child. Criminalization alone will not eliminate the demand for child pornography any more than criminalization of drug possession eliminates the demand for drugs. If people who suffer from pedophilia can substitute drawings or even 3-D animated films to fulfill their psychic needs, that can only be considered a much better outcome than the exploitation of real children.
There is, of course, another whole issue about whether people who look at pornographic images of children are more likely to abuse real-life children themselves. I do not know what the literature is on this subject, but I would suggest there probably is not a strong correlation between looking and actual abuse.
Also as a law enforcement issue, it is much easier to crack down on the possessors than on the producers, but it is the latter group that should be primary focus of law enforcement. Even if possessors indirectly contribute to real child abuse, it's the producers themselves who are guilty of actual abuse and should be brought to justice.
One other entire category of actions that definitely need to be decriminalized is what has come to be known in the States as "sexting." Charging a fifteen-year-old boy with felony possession of child pornography because he has a picture of his girlfriend's tits on his cell phone is a horrible idea. The girl could be charged with the even worse crime of distribution. Not only will these kids have a felony record, but they will be placed on a registry of sex offenders, a fact that will plague them for the rest of their lives. In Miami, people who had served time for sex offenses once lived in a large encampment under a bridge because registered offenders in that city may not live within 2,500 feet of anywhere children gather. That includes much more than schools and playgrounds; it encompasses places like shopping malls as well. Now apply that logic to our fifteen-year-old sexters. Is that how we want to treat adolescents who engage in adolescent behavior?

I think this is quite an interesting topic. I thought I'd provide this tidbit from Canada:
Age of consent is 16. This was raised from 14 on May 1, 2008.
There is however a second age of consent of 18 where the sexual activity "exploits" the young person --
Here's an excellent article on it: http://chnm.gmu.edu/cyh/teaching-modules/230

I agree with SeijiSensei when we are talking about child pornography we need to distinguish between the real stuff (illegal & tough punishment should be issued) and drawings.
Now I don't like drawings that depict child porn (difference between the real stuff). I find it disturbing myself but I also dont think any crime is being committed and I think it's a waste of time to protect drawings. Then again I am against obscene laws in general unless you can prove the obscenity is hurting someone else.

As far as I'm concerned, there's a real question of sanity when someone starts wanting to ban ink and paper to protect imaginary children. Think of all the cartoon characters who have been killed or brutalized over the years. Poor Wile. E. Coyote!

I understand the rationale for distinctions like the one in the Canadian statute, but it seems to me to give much too much leeway to prosecutors and judges to decide whether a particular case constitutes exploitation and creates the potential for uneven jurisprudence.
The sexting cases provide some good examples. In Florida, two teens were charged with felony child pornography for photographing themselves engaging in an unspecified sex act and emailing the photos to the boy's computer. The sex act itself was not illegal under Florida law, but sending the photographs was. Their convictions were upheld on appeal.
In another notorious case, DA George Skumanick threatened to prosecute 19 kids (though only three boys) with felony child pornography if did they not attend some re-education sessions that Skumanick organized. Most of the girls agreed to take the classes and avoid prosecution, but three of the girls' parents sued. Two of them were twelve-year-olds who had sent a photograph of themselves at a slumber party wearing training bras! Another older girl was threatened with prosecution for sending a boy a photo of herself wearing a towel but exposing her naked breasts. DA Skumanick claimed the twelve-year-olds were "posing provocatively" despite their wearing as much in the photo as they might wear at the beach. He actually told parents he would consider prosecuting girls who took photos of themselves in bikinis on similar grounds.
These are exactly the type of cases that make ambitious narrow-minded prosecutors lick their lips, especially if they are serving in a conservative area where prosecutions like these might help them get reelected. Luckily the good citizens of Wyoming Country, PA, decided to throw Skumanick out of office at the next election.

Just to give you some context, Canada doesn't even have a single constitution document. Our "constitution" is a number of pieces of documents and "traditions", and I quote wikipedia:

Our system is based on precedents, so your Moosejaw example, would mean the judge there has to make a decision based on all existing case law in Canada. A different interpretation would get appealed to the provincial court of appeal and provincial supreme courts and if it is controversial enough and/or important enough, would be seen before the Supreme Court of Canada. Anything that conflicts with existing precedent would be struck down quite easily.

We've gone pretty far off-topic here in a thread devoted to Japanese culture, for which I am somewhat responsible. Let's go back to discussing TRL's earlier questions about what constitutes child pornography and how it should be dealt with. Or should that become the subject for a separate thread? Moderators, if you would like to split this off, please do so.

Does a photograph of a 9 year old girl in a plain one-piece swimsuit sitting down with legs extended constitute Child Pornography in the west ? Because this is as far as some junior idol agencies are willing to go for the models under them in their publications and videos.
From what I can tell those models are just acting out their age and being naturally cute, a far cry from the 1990s where publication featuring actual nudity are circulated round legally.
While I can understand the nudity part, it will be harder to convince me that looking at a non-explicit photo of young child paves the road to hell.

Difference between revisions of "Vihti"
Revision as of 16:17, 16 January 2013
Vihti is a municipality in Southern Finland.
Vihti is part of Greater Helsinki -region, and while it's also bedroom suburb for Helsinki, it also has interesting characteristics of its own.
Confusing namesake for visitors may happen, as the municipality is called Vihti and the former municipality seat, officially Vihdin kirkonkylä, is also referred as "Vihti" in bus windows etc. Current municipality seat is in town of Nummela.
Get in
Around 50 buses daily connect Nummela to Helsinki, while Vihti town can be reached with around 25 daily services.
Also express-services which run from Helsinki to Pori and Rauma take and leave passengers from Highway 2 intersections at Nummela and Vihti town
Get around
Both centers of Nummela and Vihti kk are easily covered by feet.
There's distance about 10 kilometres (6 miles) between these towns, which is linked with around 25 buses a day (less so in Saturdays and Sundays).
More remote sights are easiest accessed by car or bike, as the bus services tend to be very limited.
All of the municipality, except perhaps the semi-urban twist of Nummela is located by beautiful nature. And as Everyman's Rights allow visitor to enjoy as freely as native Finn, there is multiple options, including skiing, swimming, trekking and more.
While Vihti isn't exactly shopper's haven, it boasts totally adequate shopping options for most circumstances.
Groceries and such can be easily (and with most inexpensive price) found in Nummela's two competing hypermarkets: Citymarket and Prisma. If you are staying longer and looking for cheap trekking equipment, fishing equipment, tools, car spare parts and alike, your best bet is Hong Kong. Nummela is also home of innovative textile company Globe Hope, which have a factory outlet at Harjutie 14
Eating in Vihti might not be immortal experience, due to non-existent top-flight restaurants, but you should be able to eat decently and with inexpensive price throughout the day.
Some better options are:

Remember the heartbreaking story of Elisa and Nathan Bond, the parents of Sadie, 2, both of who were diagnosed with advanced cancer within days of each other? The Bonds went on the TODAY Show this morning to give an update on their conditions—this time, with good news.
Plus: The Birth of Twins and Death of a New Mother
Elisa, who was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer and was considered incurable, happily reported that after a grueling summer of chemotherapy and treatment she's now N.E.D.: no evidence of disease. "It's the best news I could get," said Elisa, who also posted the update on the family's blog Family "Bond"ing Time. Husband Nathan is scheduled for surgery for his Stage 3 colorectal cancer, but the couple said the outlook is much less bleak than it was this March. "It looks like a sandy beach now, as opposed to a rocky hill," said Elisa.

by holtom2000 » Fri Apr 27, 2012 9:06 pmSo music from the avengers facebook game in the cartoon. I find that funny
by Mojo Ichiruto » Sun Apr 29, 2012 4:44 pmSo I enjoyed both shows today, not as much as I enjoyed the DC Nation shows yesterday but that seems to be becoming a trend for me.
I like Avengers EMH, it was a very "sentimental" episode as my wife called it. At some points though I was actually kinda bored with it. Luke Cage and Iron Fist were fun, and I would definitely watch a Heroes For Hire show featuring these guys each week. Scott Lang and Hank Pym just fell flat for me, they seemed kind unemotional to me in an episode that was written to be really emotional. I did like the foreshadowing of the scene with the yellow jacket in the background when Pym was in his lab, that was cool.
I thought Ultimate Spider-Man was just way to silly this week, even Connor wasn't into this episode like he has been for the others. This was really disappointing to me because I really love Taskmaster but he was just so cheesy in this episode. When you compare the kids in this show to the kids in Young Justice there just really is no comparison, YJ is definitely the far superior show to USM.
The Marvel Mash-Up this week with Mysterio farting all over the place was really funny to me though. Also enjoyed seeing J Scott Campbell drawing Iron Fist as I think he is an excellent artist.

Did he actually finish it?? or did they have to come back to it all the time like his Spiderman mini...
by Mojo Ichiruto » Sun Apr 29, 2012 4:55 pm
by Mojo Ichiruto » Sun May 06, 2012 10:18 pmHad to work this morning so I just got to watch the shows a little while ago.
Ultimate Spider-Man was just a really fun but really annoying episode today. I like Hulk and "Bug-Man" just running around NY smashing stuff was cool and fun. What annoyed me though was the seeing everything through Mary Janes video camera thing. That shit annoys me in all the hand held shaky cam films and it annoyed me hear. I want to like this show more but it really is just to silly for its on good.
Avengers EMH was excellent today, loved seeing the Guardians of the Galaxy and thus expanded on this Universe big time. Hulk surprising Tony with some actual intelligence was great, so I am assuming that Tony must not know who Hulk really is or how smart Banner actually is. I hope Ms Marvel will officially join the team some time soon, she is great in every episode she is in. Not sure how close to the source material this episode was because I have never read the Korvac stuff, but I did enjoy this episode so I might try to check out the comics.
All said and done it was another great weekend of cartoon viewing!
by KingPagla » Sun May 06, 2012 10:39 pm
Didn't resemble the original story much at all.
Only in that is had a ridiculously powerful normal looking guy named Michael Korvac, and a group called the Guardians of the Galaxy.
by Rockman » Mon May 07, 2012 7:50 amI've never cared for Michael Korvac and this was no exception.
by Grayson » Mon May 07, 2012 8:09 am
I thought that Ms. Marvel was asked to join the Avengers and she accepted the invitation during the Kree episode. Plus, hasn't she been added to the final part of the opening credits where the team assembles?
by Rockman » Mon May 07, 2012 8:13 amUltimate Spider-man was better than usual, because they didn't do any of the stupid cut a way gags.
by BlueStreak » Mon May 07, 2012 8:27 am
She has been. She's shown flying on the right hand side.
by Mojo Ichiruto » Mon May 07, 2012 9:16 am
I may have missed that since I wasn't at home when watching that episode and I normally fastforward through the opening credits. I have it recorded so I will go back and watch the episode again later.
by IvCNuB4 » Mon May 07, 2012 10:15 amI really dislike how they still portray Jan as basically 'Paris Hilton with wings'.
And Dear God. Would a socialite really be caught dead in that Halloween costume with the stupid antenna-ears that she wears ?
by Mojo Ichiruto » Mon May 07, 2012 10:18 am
Agreed. Everyone else got tweaks to their costume for season two, she surely would want to change her look too. I mean that was a main component of the her character for years that she did change her costume so much!
by habitual » Mon May 07, 2012 12:39 pmI'm almost as sick of Carol as I am of Luke Cage at this point.

I had to wiki him. I'd never heard of him before
