BELIEFS The Religion of Brand Names
People who refer to the "cult" of Apple may speak more truth than they realize. A new paper empirically tests the idea that brands constitute a substitute religion for our secular age.
The researchers theorized that both brands and religion contribute to a sense of self-worth and that the two sources of support would be in competition. Their findings confirmed that people who find more solace in religion are less entranced by brand names....

75-year-old Gillespie woman injured in crash near Interstate 55
LITCHFIELD — A 75-year-old Gillespie woman was injured in a two-vehicle crash near Interstate 55 in Litchfield Wednesday.
Charlene Taylor, 75, of Gillespie was transported to St. Francis Hospital by Litchfield Fire Department personnel with what Illinois State Police District 18 Trooper Heath Bryan described as "non-incapacitating injuries" after she was unable to avoid a crash with a 2017 Toyota passenger car that pulled out in front of her on Illinois Route 16. Sophie Nash, a 31-year-old Reading, United Kingdom, native was a passenger in the Toyota and was also injured in the crash, also sustaining non-incapacitating injuries, per Bryan.
The crash happened at 2:39 p.m. Wednesday when the Toyota, driven by 26-year-old Reading, United Kingdom man Richard Collis, exited off Interstate 55 southbound at the Litchfield exit. The vehicle turned westbound on Illinois 16 in front of Taylor's 2010 Ford passenger car, and Taylor's vehicle hit the Toyota on the driver side.
Illinois 16 was reduced to one lane of traffic for around an hour Wednesday afternoon as crews cleaned the road.
The crash is still under investigation by Illinois State Police District 18.

The first phase of the supersensory stage (Band 3, Level 1) as we have seen is of a positive nature.
Now to posit in holistic mathematical terms simply means to make conscious!. So positive in this context, implies a new enhanced form of consciousness that is so intuitively inspired that it breaks down the normal dualistic categories that define conventional understanding.
So in direct terms such intuition reflects a nondual source of spiritual light which then transforms and considerably "curves" normal consciousness rendering relationships circular and thereby paradoxical (from a dualistic standpoint).
However though the initial phase can be intense and exciting, it tends to lead to a growing sense of conflict.
The reason for this is quite simple! One has now been exposed to a new form of nondual consciousness (relating to the unconscious). However in many ways one will still be bound by everyday responsibilities and habits of understanding based on linear type consciousness.
Therefore a clash as between dual and nondual is inevitable with one not yet able to properly integrate this "higher" spiritual awareness into normal consciousness.
So as well as the old gross active attachments still exercising a hold on personality, a new type of passive attachment is increasingly likely to be present.
Once again active attachment arise from undue identification with the directly conscious phenomena of experience; passive attachment arise from corresponding undue identification with indirectly conscious phenomena (through which holistic unconscious awareness is mediated).
Now whereas one can take some active course to negate the first type of attachment (by going in the opposite conscious direction), one can only cope with passive attachment through the authentic deepening of unconscious awareness.
In the spiritual literature, the passive attachment relates to the desire for spiritual consolations (where one feels directly comforted by the presence of God).
However passive attachment would also arise with respect to both affective and cognitive experience.
For example an undue degree of emotional attachment in a relationship (though genuinely inspired by spiritual desire) would constitute a good example here! Also intellectual attachment to new types of understanding based on paradoxical type appreciation would again serve as an obvious illustration.
Passive attachment could also arise in a negative context. Indeed the very desire to pursue contemplation in place of - perhaps - more humdrum conventional activities again could easily constitute a passive attachment (of a more negative kind) where the motivation is the desire to avoid what one finds unpleasant.
Now as the initial illumination which started the stage begins to die out, these attachments are likely to grow considerably. One in effect can feel very uncomfortable, caught as it were as between two worlds. One may certainly have caught a strong glimpse of a new spiritual reality but will still be somewhat immature in this regard. However equally one will have moved sufficiently away from worldly concerns so as to no longer derive great meaning from them.
For a while one keeps as it were attempting to be part of both worlds. However as the conflict continues to increase, one unconsciously becomes increasingly aware of the need for a more radical surrender with respect to these lingering attachments.
So this paves the way for a deeper existential crisis in a the negative unfolding of this cyclical stage.
And again negative in this holistic mathematical context means the dynamic negation of conscious phenomena - strictly of attachment to such phenomena - which is the very means through which holistic unconscious awareness can deepen.
Once again, as I have been much influenced by St. John of the Cross in this respect, I will now refer to his spiritual interpretation of this stage as the "passive night of the senses".
From a psychological perspective this represents a new deeper level of immersion in the unconscious (which occurs without active intervention) though it may well be associated with a new change in one's life circumstances. In my own case I remember it happening quickly on leaving a job to go to University. So though it was all going to occur in any case, this change acted as a definite trigger.
So the growing unconscious awareness of the need for a purer spiritual commitment gradually takes place leading to a new type of (negative) conversion which can again happen in a dramatic fashion.
Suddenly one can find oneself plunged in darkness with all hell seemingly breaking loose.
In such a state one really is just in survival mode, with no means of truly communicating one's dilemma to others. In fact it generally compounds the misery to even try, as it is very difficult for someone (who may even have undergone similar experiences) to identify with the unique personal circumstances in which such crises occur.
What makes it worse is that from an outside perspective, the deeper spiritual basis of the problems will be concealed with only signs of pathology remaining.
In the initial phases of such an experience one may suffer considerable existential anxiety and indeed seem on the verge of a nervous breakdown. So the notion that this can be an indicator of rapid spiritual transformation might seem ridiculous to an outside observer!
Thus the real challenge here is to exercise an authentic degree of faith in the darkness. So all going well as one's old ego identity gradually unravels, it will be replaced by a stronger spiritual identity.
Now St. John communicates well, from his own obviously profound experience of such states, the painful nature of the cleansing (purgation) that takes place. This is due to the effect of the pure spiritual light shining inwardly, that thereby dramatically highlights ego imperfections. So this is why the night is "a passive night" as the erosion of sensory ego attachment now directly comes from the sharp contrast of ego desire with this pure spiritual light.
Needless to say the cleansing of affective and intellectual attachments equally takes place in a keenly felt manner.
The very idea of having warm feelings with respect to anything at this time is out of the question as one daily does one's best to deal with a continuing flood of negative emotions. Likewise from an intellectual perspective it is all quite humbling as even the most menial type of activities can prove problematic.
And because one is in continual darkness, the memory can be badly affected, with already acquired knowledge becoming eroded and great (temporary) difficulties experienced in acquiring new analytic skills.
Perhaps what struck me most during this period (which lasted more than a year) was a dramatic change in the experience of space and time.
Much of the anxiety that I experienced related to the fact that I seemed to be achieving considerably less and yet paradoxically seeming to have ever less time to do the little I was attempting. Also in terms of space, everything appeared to be getting more and more congested.
In particular I remembered arriving for meals each day at the college canteen feeling that the queues had become longer than on previous occasions. I am sure objectively that was not the case but from a subjective perspective it was certainly true! And of course this also interacted with an acute experience of the lack of time available, as it seemed to me then that I was endlessly stuck in queues.
Indeed such changes in the psychological experience of space and time are a very important feature of most human stress situations (to which far too little attention is devoted).
We are accustomed in our culture to adopt a strongly linear notion of time (in an absolute manner) which leads to the overlooking of this highly significant issue.
The truth is however that both physically and psychologically the nature of time and space is relative (so that especially during crisis situations its nature can change dramatically).
To put it bluntly the very scientific paradigm that we adopt is based on the "objectivist" fallacy i.e. that phenomena in space and time can be viewed in an abstract independent manner.
However all human experience is necessarily conditioned by the interaction of internal and external aspects in a merely relative manner.
So if time therefore moves forward for the external aspect, then - relatively - it moves backward for the internal aspect; likewise if it now moves forward with respect to the internal aspect, then - relatively - it now moves backward with respect to the external aspect.
So when the spiritual light shines externally (with respect to the world) one is conscious of time and space moving forward with respect to the world effectively acting as the dimensional container for all the phenomena thereby experienced.
However when the spiritual light shines strongly inwardly (as in the passive night of the senses) time and space are now - relatively - experienced as moving backwards with respect to the external world.
This is why the passive night is so disconcerting in terms of carrying out customary responsibilities, for one experiences a strong contraction in space and time, thereby associated with strong subjective feelings of congestion (where there never seems enough of space and time to contain the phenomena externally experienced). One thereby literally can feel a great sense of dislocation (in space and time) with respect to all one's customary activities.
And properly understood, this relativity does not apply simply to the psychological experience of space and time, but equally to the physical nature of such space and time (both of which are complementary).
Therefore my life long interest in the true nature of space and time is strongly based on personal experience (where on a number of occasions, their dimensional characteristics underwent dramatic change).

AT&T: WI to transform communications for public safety; Gov Walker approves buildout plan for first responder network
CONTACT: Jeff Kobs
AT&T Corporate Communications
April Ward
FirstNet Media Contact
RESTON, Va., Dec. 15, 2017 – Wisconsin is moving to advance first responder communications. Today, Governor Scott Walker announced his decision to accept the First Responder Network Authority* and AT&T** plan to deliver a wireless broadband network to the state's public safety community. FirstNet will bring advanced technologies that will help first responders save lives and protect communities.
"Clear and reliable communication is essential for first responders to do their jobs effectively," said Governor Walker. "This new partnership provides crucial, secure, and robust broadband access to our first responders and public safety personnel to help them save lives when every second counts. I look forward to FirstNet and AT&T implementing their plan and its widespread positive effect in protecting Wisconsin's communities."
AT&T, in a public-private partnership with the First Responder Network Authority, will build, operate and maintain a highly secure wireless broadband communications network for Wisconsin's public safety community at no cost to the state for the next 25 years. The FirstNet network will drive innovation and create an entire system of modernized devices, apps and tools for first responders.
"This is a great day for first responders across Wisconsin and the residents they serve," said Kewaunee County Sheriff Matt Joski. "By joining the FirstNet network, the Governor has opened the door to enhanced technology that will improve emergency services and response times. From Pleasant Prairie to Cassville and Kewaunee to Webster, this service will help public safety better serve our citizens."
FirstNet will transform the way Wisconsin's fire, police, EMS and other public safety personnel communicate and share information. Specifically, it will:
· Connect first responder subscribers to the critical information they need in a highly secure manner when handling day-to-day operations, responding to emergencies and supporting large events like college and professional sporting games.
· Create an efficient communications experience for public safety personnel in agencies and jurisdictions across the state during natural disasters and severe weather, including tornadoes, snowstorms, blizzards and flooding.
· Enhance and expand network coverage along Wisconsin's lakes and waterways to cover areas underserved today, benefitting first responders and residents throughout the state's rural communities.
· Provide first responders with access to dedicated network assets that can be deployed for additional coverage and support when needed.
· Usher in a new wave of dependable innovations for first responders. This will create an ever-evolving set of life-saving tools for public safety, including public safety apps, specialized devices and Internet of Things technologies. It also carries the potential for future integration with NextGen 911 networks and Smart Cities' infrastructure.
The First Responder Network Authority and AT&T designed Wisconsin's network solution with direct input from the state's public safety community. The Authority has been meeting with Wisconsin's officials and public safety personnel for several years to address their unique communication needs. These include:
· Expanding wireless coverage in rural, tribal and underserved areas.
· Enabling state, local and federal agencies to effectively communicate and coordinate along Wisconsin's borders.
· Increasing capacity during emergencies and natural disasters through the use of deployable network assets.
· Using existing state infrastructure where necessary and appropriate.
"By joining the FirstNet network, Governor Walker has made public safety a priority, choosing the best network communications solution for the state," says FirstNet CEO Mike Poth. "FirstNet brings new technologies to emergency first responders in Wisconsin over the most modernized and advanced broadband network available today. We look forward to our continued partnership with the Badger State."
The decision enables the First Responder Network Authority and AT&T to begin creating an entirely new wireless ecosystem for public safety communications. Wisconsin's first responder subscribers will have immediate access to quality of service, priority and preemption to voice and data across the FirstNet network.
By opting in to FirstNet, fire, police, EMS and other public safety workers subscribing to the service will have dedicated access to the information they need, when and where they need it – 24/7/365, like their mission.
"We applaud Governor Walker for opting in to FirstNet and giving Wisconsin's public safety community the cutting-edge technologies they need to help protect and save lives," said Scott T. VanderSanden, president of AT&T Wisconsin. "AT&T is honored to work with the state to bring FirstNet to Wisconsin, and to give our first responders the innovative communication tools they deserve."

It's a different world up there," a radio reporter in Belfast said with a giggle last Wednesday. She was acknowledging that Derry had snow and Belfast didn't.
It's a different world up there," a radio reporter in Belfast said with a giggle last Wednesday. She was acknowledging that Derry had snow and Belfast didn't.
Hmmm! The saying, "Many a true word was spoken in jest" came to mind. Of course it was only a throw-away line, not to be taken seriously but it was symptomatic of the tone of reporting. Even the weather forecaster said, "Over here" to refer to the Belfast area. It reinforced the notion that the BBC is Belfast centric. After all they even give us tide times for Belfast. Tide times vary enormously. It would be difficult to work out Derry tides from Belfast tides. Do tide times matter more to Belfast people?
The previous week there were particularly severe gales in the North West and along the north coast but they barely rated a mention.
Ah! I hear you say – we have BBC Foyle to redress the balance. That's fair enough but on Radio Foyle the snow story was all such a giggle: such a cause for lame hilarity that I began to suffer a sense-of-humour-failure about that too. Presenters should cop on that while you're sitting in your nice warm work a little humour is OK but too much inane giggling is irritating while others struggle on grid-locked roads or treacherous pavements.
Yes I'm well into the grumpy territory but I recognise the sense-of-humour failure is setting in when even mispronunciations and bad grammar irritate. I'm thinking of "Jay sus" for the French "Je suis" or "I seen" [sic] such-and-such-a thing this morning, followed by an exclamation some would find offensive. Isn't that unprofessional?

Self Esteem
Self esteem – that word is used so much, it is almost a cliché. But nevertheless, in my experience, both personally as well as professionally, it is key to feeling content and grounded.
It is not, as is commonly thought of, about thinking one is better than someone else, superior in some way, or at the top of the heap.
It is much more about feeling an acceptance of oneself – a quiet confidence which cannot be dented by others' opinion about us.
When we feel bad about ourselves, then someone can easily say something to us which buys in to our own harsh feelings about ourselves. For instance if we feel that we are not good enough in some way, and judge ourselves for not being good looking enough, rich enough, thin enough etc etc (the list goes on), then if someone says something or even reacts in such a way that we interpret their action as being because we are not good enough, then we are always at the mercy of other people. The barometer of our happiness depends on outside reactions rather than our inner core belief and contentment with ourselves.
This does not mean that we never strive to better ourselves, but it does mean that we feel contentment and acceptance of ourselves at all times, which cannot be shattered by someone outside of ourselves.
Self esteem can also be viewed as self compassion – accepting ourselves as being ok, being good enough, despite not being the best of the best. That way, no one and nothing can take away our inner sense of ourself and our stability.
In other words, we are in control of how we feel about ourselves – we are no longer at the whim of other peoples reactions.
Therapy can help in viewing ourselves throughout more compassionate lenses and ultimately giving us the power to regulate how we feel about ourselves, regardless of circumstances.

VIA Metropolitan: Operators Take Vision Zero Pledge to Uphold Safety Standards
March 25, 2016 | Tags:
VIA Metropolitan Transit partnered with San Antonio District 5 Councilwoman Shirley Gonzales and Vision Zero San Antonio to expand the ongoing "VIAware: Stop, Look and Listen" campaign launched in January. Gonzales administered the Vision Zero Safety Pledge to VIA operators and staff as part of the City of San Antonio's communitywide safe roadways campaign.
"With today's pledge, we are reaffirming our commitment to safety while reinforcing the strength of our partnership with Councilwoman Gonzales and her colleagues on the San Antonio City Council, our many suburban city partners, and other partners committed to advancing Vision Zero San Antonio," VIA President and CEO Jeffrey C. Arndt said. "We look forward to putting this pledge into practice as we continue to serve the Greater San Antonio Region with more than 44 million passenger trips per year, and a standing safety record that is among the best in the nation—an achievement we are very proud of."
As part of VIA's ongoing commitment to safety, the pledge supports VIA's existing high safety standards. Operators were invited to sign a "pledge wall" that will stand at VIA's Operations Center and be available for others to sign.
Vision Zero is a national safe roadways initiative whose message is that safety is shared between those who design the road and those who use the road. Vision Zero serves as both an attitude toward life and a strategy for designing a safe transportation system.

The real Glaswegian working class voice in the independence debate read by thousands, the BBC and other related media, secured the first criminal conviction against one of the seven top cybernats outed by the Daily Mail
Monday, September 4, 2017
Scottish Labour in crisis, Anas Sarwar announces he will stand for Labour leadership against Richard Leonard, Anas isn't the man to unity the Scottish Labour and lead it to power; a '10 to midnight' conversion to being a Corbyn supporter isn't going to wash with the Momentum crowd in Scotland, Scottish Labour needs a leader from the many not the privileged few
4 comments:
Scottish Labour needs a Corbynite. If the Scottish Central Belters want socialism, give it to them. Anything that sucks the life out of the SNP and their mini me Green pals has to be good. Whoever is the most left wing candidate should get the gig. Plain and simple. Then we have a conservative party, a socialist party and a centrist liberal party - the best possible combination to pick apart what remains of SNP/Green support.
I have been rather amused though at the thought of the super PC SNP going up against Sarwar. They'd be so afraid to do or say anything that could be seen as racist, I think it would be genuinely quite funny to watch.
But, no, it has to be Leonard.

Sarwar is a smelly remnant left over from the Bliar\Broon years. He believes the poor are scum, he's 100% Blairite. Let him win. Lie@bour will truly be finished in Scotland. While we're at it 'let's hope Krankie face stays the leader of the SNP' At the next Holyrood election. The Tories, even with mental Ruth at the helm, will win by a huge majority.

Mountain Top's history begins in 1798 when Conrad Wickesier, the first settler, carved paths into the mountain and three sawmills were built by James Wright built. These mills worked to level and clear land for habitation in the area. This led to the first school being built in 1840, followed by the boulevard in 1908.
Today, Mountain Top is located close to highways but has plenty of local restaurants and activities for locals to enjoy, including sushi and pizza restaurants as well as youth sports leagues, dance studios, a local ice rink, and more.

In October 2017, thousands of Girl Scouts from around the world will gather in Columbus, Ohio for the 2017 Girl Scout National Council Session and Convention! While that might seem like a long way away, it takes a lot of time and woman power to plan the largest Girl Scout event that only happens every three years!
We are so excited to announce that Girl Scout Senior, Caroline Streb will represent our council and serve on the 2017 Convention Girl Planning Team. In fact, she's already had her first meeting and she has begun her work!
The National Council Session is the movement-wide business meeting for Girl Scouts, where our most important decisions are collectively made. The Girl Planning Team will be an integral part of the planning and implementation of all aspects of the National Council Session and Convention. From May 2016 until October 2017, Caroline and 19 other young women from councils across the country will help design the experience for older Girl Scouts at Convention, and provide input and feedback on areas such as activities, panel presentations, discussion sessions, special events, marketing Convention, and more!
Caroline is a sophomore at Blue Valley West High School and is a member of Troop 1872 in Olathe, KS and has been a Girl Scout since she was a Daisy living in Pennsylvania! Her family relocated back to the area when she was a freshman, and one of the first things she did was find a troop to in her area to join! Troop 1872 welcomed her into their tribe with open arms!
"I'm not afraid to say I'm a Girl Scout; it's one of my favorite things about myself."
Having been in Girl Scouts for 11 years, Caroline has experienced many things. She has earned her Bronze and Silver award as well as the Camp Program Aid (CPA) and Counselor In Training (CIT I) pins. One of her favorite Girl Scout memories comes from this past summer at Camp Daisy Hindman when she was working to earn that CIT I pin and her entire unit went night kayaking on Lake Odonata!
"Girl Scouts has shaped who I am. I've learned so much more than I would have, had I not been a Girl Scout."
By serving on the 2017 Convention Girl Planning Team, Caroline is learning so much more about the organization as a whole. She is most looking forward to meeting Girl Scouts from all over the world, working with her team and seeing her peers learn from activities and events that she plans!
When Caroline isn't doing Girl Scout things, you can find her in the pool practicing for her next swim meet, or at Deanna Rose Farmstead managing the baby goat stand!
We can't wait to see what her and the other young women on the Girl Planning Team come up with! We'll be sure to bring you the inside information on the 2017 Convention as it unfolds!

This thought came to me after I'd been reading Kant before bed and woke up the next morning with a migraine. Or, to be accurate, at first I saw a migraine aura in my dream. I even told someone else in the dream that I was getting a migraine, and went to look in a car that I no longer own for a medication that I no longer take. The person was kind of a bore, so I tried to shut him up by mentioning that Oliver Sacks had written a good book about migraines. He kept talking and (perhaps to escape) I awoke. The migraine aura was, unfortunately, still there.
Later in the day I was thinking about how real the boring person had seemed, even though he wasn't an actual person. I had a thought about dreams, not about why we dream, but about how. Like most people, while I'm dreaming I often talk to people I've never met (or even seen in a film or on TV). I also go places that don't exist.
Yet these nonexistent people are credible, and the nonexistent places are coherent. So in dreams, some process synthesizes coherent, convincing wholes.
What occurred to me is that this probably isn't unique to dreams. It is probably the same mechanism that synthesizes waking perceptions of people and places into coherent wholes, and that synthesizes memories of people and places into coherent wholes.
Perhaps dreams only highlight the essentially creative and active process that also underlies (supposedly passive) perception. I'm sure that cognitive science is way ahead of me here. That's the next place for me to look.
Another place to look would be the migraine aura. It's a little like hearing something in a dream and then waking up to hear the actual noise that crept into the dream. Only in this case, the migraine aura is generated internally–by my own malfunctioning brain. It's a bridge between the dreaming and the waking perceptions, but is not a perception itself. Instead, it is a malfunctioning of perception, like a screwdriver placed across two electrical systems that short circuits both of them.

Besides these wonderful learning experiences, the week has been easy and wonderful. The district that was older than us just left so we are now the oldest in our zone. We had a wonderful talk by a member of the Seventy last night about how obedience keeps us safe. We had TRC on Saturday with one of the members of the district older than us. We spoke through the Spirit and it was something he needed to hear and he teared up and that was cool. I love to help others through telling them what they need to hear through the power of the Holy Ghost! This month has gone by in the blink of an eye and soon i will be in Reno!

As the Winter Olympics continue in wherever the hell they're taking place in this year, other athletes and sports people were wondering why exactly the Winter Olympics takes place at all.
'Don't ask me', four times gold medal-winning decathlete Daley Thompson said, 'I mean, it just seems like a lot or boring gits from cold countries nobody wants to visit playing boring games and jumping off things and going down things in sledges and generally being boring gits, doesn't it? I mean, what is the bloody point of skijumping? You put on some skis and go down a slope and fly through the air and then land again on your feet, hardly sport is it?'
'As for curling ... OK, it's a skillful game and all that but so is Monopoly and darts, and any sport those heathen Scots have invented is definitely iffy, isn't it? You probably need to knock back a bottle and a half of double malt whisky during a match just to stop yourself from getting hypothermia!'
The Winter Olympics includes events such as - 4 X 4 snowman building, with marks deducted for making any that have ghastly facial expressions or look like Hillary Clinton, or both; throwing snowballs at moving Barack Obamas, bonus points being given for hitting their cheesy grins; managing to stay upright on a reproduction of a cracked, ungritted British pavement in the winter for as long as possible; clay migrating starling shooting, the only event Italy has sent a team to the Games to compete in; the laughing at soft Americans/English/Swedish people who complain when it snows, usually a close contest between the Canadians, Scots, Norwegians and Russians; the 10 km. walking through the snow and ice dressed in only jeans and a tshirt, traditionally won by young mothers pushing prams who represent Scotland or England; building ice houses as you have nothing better to do because you're such boring people, inevitably won by the Norwegians every four years; the picking grit out of the soles of your shoes marathon that lasts four hours; yodelling while snowboarding through miniature models of the Alps while being pursued by Nazis and Julie Andrews; the 800 metres pub crawl, points given to contestants managing to have one drink in each of 32 pubs and bars specially built along one street for the Olympics, traditionally a close contest between the Scots, the Irish and the Russians; dressing up in ridiculous woolly jumpers and growing beards and winning the Eurovision Song Contest, gold medals won many times by Norway though Eastern European nations are expected to bring a strong challenge to this year's Games.
The opening ceremony featured Norwegian folk band Four Bjeards and a Bennie playing their hit record 'How We All Enjoyed Seeing Napoleon Being Crushed By The British And The Prussians At Waterloo', and the traditional lights show of letting off a single ship's distress flare as the Swiss Air Force's three radio-controlled toy helicopters majestically flew past at two feet above the ground.
'The Winter Olympics bring together all the ... er ... traditional wintery sort of stuff that bores the pants off everybody else', Chairman of the IWOC Sir Heinrich Flugelhorn said, 'and we hope to introduce some exciting new sports at the next games.
Synchronised cowbell ringing, skating on thin ice - which of course may lead to a few fatalities to boost our television ratings - the smuggling of German war criminals from Germany across the Alps to Switzerland and then on to Italy and Vatican City and off to South America steeplechase;
avalanche surfing; and glacier racing, where teams ride glaciers in a race to see which team can win the one inch sprint, which may take a few years, of course. But we decided not to include Arctic fox sled racing, as it would have taken 300 of them just to pull one sled along the ground.'
Sir Alex Ferguson's nose is very blue. With the cold temperature, of course.

Meatloaf with a twist - for the ultimate meat lovers..
Order a fairly large cut of veal or beef from your butcher, it is usually a cut from the rib section without the ribs of course. Explain that it is for a meatloaf.
6 eggs (lightly beaten)
English spinach - wilted
4-5 equally sized carrots (steamed)
Meat netting (see below)
GLAD oven bag
Combine the eggs, add a pinch of salt, pepper, some parsley to create an omelette mix. In a very shallow baking tray pour the omelette mixture on baking paper and cook until set. Your aim is to get a thin omelette layer approximately 1cm in thickness and the same size as your loaf cut.
Line the flat meat cut on a large chopping board and hit it with a meat hammer. Carefully take out the omlette from the baking tray and line on the meat. Place a layer of wilted spinach over the omlette. Cut your steamed carrots into equal size. If you need to, cut the narrow tops so that you get the same thickness all throughout your loaf. The carrots need to be placed towards the edge of the right hand side of the meatloaf.
Carefully roll the meat loaf and secure with medium sized skewers. Put meat netting over the meat loaf. Ideally get someone to help you with this process as it is quiet tricky.
Place the netted loaf into a GLAD oven bag and roast on 250C for 35-40 minutes. Reduce heat to 220C and roast for another 20-30 minutes. The meat should be juicy and tender.
Cut diagonally in rounds and serve with a garden salad. Perfect for a dinner party.

French League probes Leonardo spat
The French League's disciplinary commission will examine the incident between Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Leonardo and referee Alexandre Castro.
Leonardo appeared to deliberately shoulder-barge Castro in the tunnel after PSG's 1-1 home draw against Valenciennes last Sunday.
However, the Brazilian denies the allegation. He said: "It's the delegate in front of me who blocked my path. It's him who pushed me into the referee."
Leonardo added: "I don't touch the referee with my shoulder but with my back. Because I was pushed. It is me who was assaulted."
The delegate said: "I didn't barge into or touch Leonardo at any time."
Leonardo risks a year's suspension. PSG, which is closing in on its first title since 1994, could have points deducted.
PSG is seven points ahead of Marseille with three matches remaining.

Andrew Bacevich is a retired colonel and now Professor who has written knowledgeably and soberly of the events of the past six years. He lost his son in Iraq a couple of weeks ago. He published an Op-Ed in 'the Washington Post' yesterday, Memorial Day ("I Lost My Son To A War I Oppose", www.truthout.org/docs_2006/052807Z.shtml).
He mentions that among the many emails of condolence he received, he also received a strain of message to the effect that 1st Lt. Bacevich's death was the result of the Professor's giving aid and comfort to the enemy by writing against the war.
It's revolting, and a clarion alarm, this strain of 'thought'. I believe that it is a classic example of what Al Gore rightly (but too gently) observes is the "strangeness of our public discourse" nowadays.
People for whom such quality of 'thoughts' constitute the sum total of their mental and emotional 'content' will always be with us. In the pre-Internet days you sort of knew they were out there, maybe living down South – a lot of them – but they never really made it out into the wider world. Richard Hofstadter studied that part of the noxious berg that jutted up into the fresh air, writing of the paranoia in its politics. But with the exception of the John Birch bunch, they mostly stayed in seedy bars and brayed at each other, and decent folk didn't need to give them much more thought.
But the Internet has come and 'decency' has gone – jettisoned by the Democrats in their frenzied effort to pander to fresh voting-blocs of newly-revolted Identities. And the Roveian Republicans surfed the former into the vacuum created by the demise of the latter. And thus these whackjobs who wrote to Professor Bacevich have a wire that now runs from their treehouses and bars out into the wider world.
The thinking surpasses sophomoric and approaches the moronic: if the loss of a child on military duty proves that one has given aid and comfort to the enemy, then all the other gold-star parents must also be giving aid and comfort to the enemy. It should have occurred to the emailers, but it didn't.
They have been raised in the same school of 'thought' made nationally popular by the likes of Bible Bhagwans such as Gerry Falwell and Pat Robertson. We recall Their Worships observing that a hurricane in New Orleans or Miami is punishment for AIDS or 'libbulism', yet Their Plenitudes have absolutely nothing theological to contribute when series after series of twisters go through the reputedly God-fearing, patriotic Bible Belt states like angels of the Apocalypse.
This is the fundamentalistic view of history: you take an event and work backwards through the actions of your congregation to connect it ultimately up to (your idea of) God. In this approach to History and to events, the irrational results and conclusions that will issue if your 'example' is applied to other similar situations are irrelevant; the idea isn't to accurately understand the workings of the world - the idea is simply to move your particular bunch of hearers to 'God' at this particular moment; it's preaching, not studying. Studying isn't the point; acceptingjeezuzzasyourpersonalsavior is the point. And it's the only point.
It doesn't take much thought to realize that this approach, taken off the dusty backroads and put on the interstate of national and international affairs with lights, sirens, weaponry, and the authority of the Federal government is not going to make things any better in this darkling world.
But it's not simply that the emailers' type of thought is 'preaching' more than 'thinking'. What thinking is actually in it is an immature form of thinking. It's something you expect from kids; 'sophomoric'. There was a time when 'sophomoric' thinking was more largely confined to … well, sophomores. And nobody was too worried about it: part of being a kid is that your brain isn't fully developed, that you don't always think clearly and don't have a well-catalogued library of experiences to help clarify and temper your thought, and that one day you'll likely grow up, helped by the formative influence of the adult world all around you.
But then American society became youth-besotted: the country was flooded with kids (the Boomers).
Then the advertisers realized that a) these kids actually had lots of cash and b) sophomoric thinkers make much more desirable consumers.
Then Vietnam got so many folks so frustrated that the charming but illogical conclusions were drawn: If you're old enough to die for the country then you're old enough to vote (and drink). No. It doesn't take too much brainwork to get killed; indeed, very few soldiers induce their death in combat by 'thinking'. It takes a hell of a lot of brainwork to perform your duties as a citizen, as an adult, and as a member of that awesome guild known as The People.
Then the Advocacies realized that 'kids' make far better cadres then adults; they're more easily worked up, swayed, and they don't consider 'thinking' to be anything but an obstruction to the excitement and overriding challenge of achieving true (fill in the blank). Probably for that reason kids make the most desirable revolutionaries as well as the most desirable enfanterie.
And the Dems were pandering to the Advocacies in hope of replacing all the 'negroes' who somehow turned against them precisely at the moment when the Dems had sacrificed their southern voters by passing the Civil Rights Act of '65. And then it occurred to the Dems that kids and their 'take' on things were a potential voting-bloc themselves (hell, wasn't JFK a kid, at least compared to Ike and Nixon?).
So the type of thought that was usually a cross-to-be-borne only by school-teachers now became the national Style. Adulthood and 'maturity' went over the side, along with the afore-mentioned 'decency' and all those other fuddy-duddy Capital Letter Words (Virtue, Excellence, God) that were suddenly discovered to have been nothing but the machinery of the oppressors introduced into a pure world only at the onset of the 'age of patriarchy' (Said 'age' was conveniently calculated to have begun sometime around the dawn of civilization and of recorded history; the logical possibility that dismantling the 'machinery' might damage the 'product' – i.e. civilization – was not considered appropriate discourse for enlightened minds, for those who did 'get it').
The 'emotionalism' once stereotypically ascribed to 'women' is most certainly a diagnostic hallmark of youth and of immaturity, and the assorted illogics of sophomoric thought fused with a too-quick recourse to passion rather than thought, as befits a brain and nervous system not yet fully formed. It was no longer a matter of thinking, especially of thinking 'critically'; 'criticizing' was a form of 'judging', and in the face of the horrible injustice of (fill in the blank) the only proper response was instant outrage and total embrace of the 'victim'. Anything less and folks might get to thinking you were a (fill in the blank) yourself.
And then the whole mess spread into the vacuum of the 1970s until it merged with the superheated enthusiasms of an explosively surging Fundamentalism, which erected sophomoric thought and volatile passion into a religion and then tainted it with suspicion – of strangers, of omnipresent and (functionally) omnipotent evil, of thought itself.
But just so: these emailers aren't just illogical and too quick-on-the-draw in the manner of actual youngsters. They are also tainted with a vicious bitterness that can only stem from somebody older who – on some hidden interior level – knows that while the body has aged, the mind and spirit have not matured. And regardless of all the fundamentalistic hoohah that 'maturity' is for sissies and that all you really need is 'loyalty' to Jeezzzuzzz … despite that boisterous encouragement, the individual is slowly poisoned, turned into stone, turned perhaps into a vampire, by the unsleeping acid awareness that s/he has not ripened, though Time is remorselessly draining away life and years.
And then along came Falwell and Robertson and Atwater and Rove and all their ilk, who realized that this tortured lumpenvolk – especially thanks to the equally antirational antics of the Left of the '60s and '70s – could be forged into 'a base' for political power.
And thus Our politics was debased; because We as The People were debased.
And Our poltical class was thus debased. Aware of the ominous changes (and the Dems knew that they had somehow invited these changes over the thresh-hold in that dark midnight of fear that they would lose their reliable voters), the pols quickly sensed its impact on their world: it wasn't worth it taking a strong, well-thought out and reasonable and informed position, because a) you weren't going to be able to keep enough of everybody 'happy', b) you weren't going to be able to explain your position reasonably to voters and hope to 'persuade' the doubters through deliberation and discourse; so c) you'd better just learn not to rile the herd or any particular sub-bloc of the herd, do what it takes to keep yourself in the saddle, and hope God's invisible hand would somehow steer the whole cattle-drive to some safe and happy destination.
And doing what it took to keep yourself in power meant finding reliably secure sources of funding (corporations, rich folks) while pandering to whatever squalling sub-bloc manufactured an 'incident' or an 'issue' upon which you might emit a satisfactory sound-bite or two. Of course, it would help if folks didn't recall too much down the road, on the off-chance that humoring the next squalling sub-bloc meant reversing what you'd said a while back. But children are notorious for ignoring the Past, over-estimating the Future, and pretty much going through the Present like a bull in a china shop. But that's what kids do.
It is not however what a People should do. Or the government that They endow with Their authority.
But that – I would say – is what constitutes the "strangeness of our public discourse". I'm a little tougher on the Dems than Al Gore is in his new book, but I suppose he can't go and piss everybody off at once. This mess We are now in has been a long time in the making; more than just the last six years or the Regime of the Twelve Years recently dented by the elections last November. We are 'strange' because We are basically conducting the affairs of a world power on the level of sophomores or – seriously – 7th graders.
Now this is worse than the Soviets. Back in the '60s and '70s the USSR was referred to among professional diplomats as "Upper Volta with rockets". That is, a primitive and backward, hugely underdeveloped society and culture, that happens to have an unsettling array of rocketized thermonuclear weaponry. And indeed, that's what Soviet culture and the society it formed turned out to be.
But what then is the U.S. now? The Seventh-Grade with rockets? You can make a very good case for it. And it would mean that We have actually lost ground. The anti-adultness and anti-Truth emphasis rampant among Us - especially for the past 40 years, when so much of that was imposed under the guise of 'liberation' and enlightenment - has caused Us to become an immature and untruthful society (which is not a bad opening description of the Bushist Project and Bush himself, by odd coincidence). Not that anybody plans to not-grow-up; not that anybody plans to tell lies simply for the fun of being evil (quite the opposite - the first lie is to convince yourself that the untruth you're about to tell is 'actually' the truth). A huge public lie told in order to alleviate the 'suffering' of this or that 'victim' is as toxic to the ethos of Democracy and of the Republic as a huge public lie told in order to further pre-emptive, aggressive, imperial war. That's why the Democrats are now revealing themselves to be as unreliable as the Republicans (as Cindy Sheehan has realized). Nobody should be surprised.
And yet We have unleashed the most advanced accumulation of military power the planet has ever seen. And We have sent into the maw of Great Things, and of War, so many of Our own young, upon Our authority, drawing upon their goodwill and their trust in Us, their trust that We the People would not lightly spend their blood and the treasure of their life's possibilities. But We have.
We have because the above-noted emailers more accurately represent the status of Our public discourse.
We most surely must hold Ourselves to account.
I spent Memorial Day afternoon – 3 hours of it – walking meditatively through one of the 'parklike' cemeteries, several centuries old, that lies nearby here. With my CD player. Among other pieces, I played Samuel Barber's "Agnus Dei", in which he puts the words of the venerable Catholic prayer "Agnus Dei" to the haunting music of his "Adagio". I thought of young 1st Lt. Bacevich – no, I 'opened a channel to him', if you don't like the fuddy-duddy formulation (thought up by 'them Kathliks') that the Living are in vital communion with the so-called Dead. And in the presence of all those veterans lying there in the military section, many of whom saw their last sunrise wearing a blue uniform or even a blue-and-buff uniform, I rededicated myself to the great task remaining before Us.
Nor is it enough to say that We must ensure that 1st Lt. Bacevich and his colleagues-in-death did not die in vain. We are too far gone to simply bid him and them farewell. We, fellow citizens, need all the help We can get. He, like Vachel Lindsay's Lincoln, "cannot sleep upon his hillside now."
Nor, damn it, can We. "Men of Harlech, lie ye dreaming … ?"
