NIN / TV / Dump
Anyway, they did what was called a 'File Dump' here at work last Friday. What this meant was that, as of noon last Friday, no files moved whatsoever until every file's location was essentially recorded in the system. On a more personal level, what this meant for me is that I had next to nothing to do until all the files resumed their typical movements. That might not make much sense right off, but when you consider that my job is to get files from one point to another, then you might start seeing how my workflow level was very much minimized. The normal file movement resumed yesterday afternoon, so as of today everything was pretty much back to normal. Which is good, since there's nothing I hate more than having nothing to do at work... Actually, that's not true, there are a lot of things I hate more, but you get the idea right?
On a different note, TV is pissing me off lately: there's really nothing to watch. Normally, my wife and I seek out new TV shows to watch or catch up on stuff we could have missed, but lately I've even lost the motivation to do that. We recently finished the second season of 'Project Runway', and I really enjoyed that, so I'm thinking we'll be jumping into season 3 of that show much sooner than later. The season / half-season of the 'Sarah Conner Chronicles' concluded last night, so at least I know we've got that waiting for us on the DVR. Plus, 'Torchwood' is still going strong which, if I remember correctly, will be followed by Doctor Who sometime in March. Anyway, it's a minor complaint in the grand scheme of things, but I at least wanted to get it out there.
Oh, and 'Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction' is all kinds of awesome.
2 comments:
Torchwood has been a show that I anticipate every week. I like it's darker side compared to Doctor Who. That being said, if I had a choice between the two, Doctor Who would still win hands down.
The new Terminator show is ok, but if there was some better shows around, I probably wouldn't watch it (or maybe save it for the late summer time slow down (but Doctor Who and Battlestar Galatica will be in their mid-way part of the season, so who knows.)
Another show that's just finished it's second season in the UK is ITV's Primeval. It's their answer to the BBC's Torchwood and Doctor Who. Check it out.
As for the new Ratchet and Clank game, my 2 sons and I love the game. It looks great in HDTV and Dolby Digital Surround. The biggest complaint I have is how quick you can win the game. That being said (SPOILER COMING), once you finished the game, you are brought back to the start of the game with the same weapons and their level minus a few weapons/gadgets which are part of the flow of the game. We've won the game a few times now. There were a few spots we had missed the first time around. The second time was a bit harder until we realized that if you upgrade the weapons to the VX level and bring your armor to 999, the games is actually easier and my younger son who is 3 years old can get through most of the beginning levels by himself with minimal help from me.
I am not much of a NIN fan, but I might take a few minutes to go through the net to listen to it and see if I should spend the 5 bucks.

Thanks for leaving a comment Daniel! I'll agree with you: between the good Doctor and Jack and the gang, Doctor Who wins. Still, in this particular time of TV drought, I'll take what I can get! I'll have to check out Primeval now, so thanks for the recommendation!
I don't know how much you've watched of the new Terminator show, but I'm quite surprised how much better it gets as it goes along. Personally, I'm a huge James Cameron fan so I wasn't sure how they would do in regards to the mythology, but I've been quite impressed as the series progresses. The first 2 episodes were definitely in 'meh' territory, but the later ones, in my opinion, have been pretty good. Granted, not Doctor Who or BSG 'good', but entertaining none the less (I think 'entertaining' is the perfect word to describe the show, now that I think about it).
In regards to Ratchet, from what you're telling me, it seems pretty much par for the course once you finish the game (which is great, don't get me wrong!). In prior Ratchet's you could further upgrade your weapons and equipment as well, so I'm glad they kept that mechanic in. I'm generally not one to return to games all that much once I actually complete them, but the Ratchet and Clank games have all managed to keep me playing long after I've run through them for the first time. Therefore, it's really a solid concept that clearly works for the series.
Lastly, regarding NIN: you can get the first part of 'Ghosts' as a free download off the official site, so I recommend you check that out to see if you want to plunk down the $5. Of course I'd recommend it, but I'm biased. :-)

Last weekend I painted the wall behind my newly acquired Art Deco dressing table a lighter color and have some proper decorations hung up there now. Looks much better in my opinion!
The picture by the phone is a vintage autographed 5"x7" of Joan Leslie, the large one by the thermostat is a vintage Ann Sheridan autographed photo and the one highest up in the silvery frame is a vintage Elanor Parker autographed still. All the rest are vintage promo postcards. The autographed still in the red frame on the table is of Margaret Lindsay, one of Warner bros workhorse character actresses in the 1930's. A lovely lady with a very pretty signature as well!

Here's how you take a rum and coke and give it a Rogue twist.
It starts in the hazelnut orchards of Kirk Family Filberts, our friends and next-door neighbors to Rogue Farms in Independence, Oregon.
The Kirk's have been growing hazelnuts for generations. It's their nuts that we roast and infuse in the still to create Rogue Spirits Hazelnut Spice rum – crafted at the first rum distillery in Oregon.
Next we gather honey produced by the 7,140,289 honeybees of Rogue Farms.
The honey from our honeybees is used in every batch of Rogue Root Beer, the second ingredient in our Rogueish rum and coke. We call it the Uncle John, a sweet blend of Rogue Farms honey and the Kirk's hazelnuts.

This past week saw the passing of Rabbi Yaakov Rabinowitz, a pioneer in Jewish education for over fifty years.
Rabbi Rabinowitz had a long chinuch career as a rebbi at Yeshiva Rabbi Jacob Joseph, a lecturer at Stern College, Dean of Students at YU, Dean of Undergraduate Students at YU-Stern, Dean of Erna Michael College at YU, chairman of the Board of Education of Shulamith for two decades, chairman of the Middlestates Licensing Panel for three decades, member of the board of Ohel, rebbe at Erna Michael College of Hebraic Studies, and co-founder and educational director and camp rabbi of Camp Morasha for 16 years.
Rabbi Rabinowitz gave daily Chumash shiurim at the Agudah of Avenue H and Daf Yomi during the summers. He completed all of Shas more than 7 times, wrote two seforim on Chumash titled Yemin Yaakov, and lectured worldwide on various chinuch and hashkafah topics.
He learned daily at the Lakewood Minyan of Boro Park, was a co- founder of Congregation Ahavas Chessed, and was sought after for his advice in all areas of formal and informal education.
He is survived by his wife Toby, his two sons, R' Baruch and R' Dovid, and two daughters, Mrs. Esther Shulman and Mrs. Fayge (Safran) Novogroder. He was pre-deceased by his son R' Yosef Bezalel z"l.
What follows is the eulogy delivered at the funeral by his son-in-law, Rabbi Eli Baruch Shulman, rov of the Young Israel of Midwood in Brooklyn, and Rosh Yeshiva at Yeshivas R' Yitzchak Elchanan:
Most of us have several faces. The face that we show at work is not the same face we show to our friends and neighbors, and then again the face that we show them is not the face that we show at home. It's not hypocrisy; it's part of human complexity that we put on different personas for different roles.
My father-in-law was not that way. He was the exact same person everywhere. In that sense he was a poshuter yid – not poshut in the usual sense of unremarkable; he was quite remarkable in many ways. But poshut in the way we speak of a matzoh pshutah, or of a shofar poshut: something that is straight as an arrow, without anything crooked or different on one side that on the other.
He was a caring father at home, and a caring father in yeshiva; a master mechanech in yeshiva, and a master mechanech at home; everywhere the same very remarkable and at the same time very straightforward man.
He was one of the builders of Torah in this country. He toiled in the fields of Jewish education and the dissemination of Torah for fifty years, as a teacher, as a dean, as a Camp rabbi who conveyed more feel for Yiddishkeit to his charges over a summer than perhaps they absorbed the whole rest of the year, as the head of a Chinuch network, as a leader of Ohel, as a maggid shiur in many settings, as an author of seforim. And in each one of those roles he was innovative, and indefatigable, and inspiring.
He was a pioneer, and he had the warm and rugged personality of a pioneer; a personality that combined unshakable faith, dogged persistence, passionate commitment, and enormous good will.
His faith was absolutely remarkable. He was very fond of describing a Yiddish newspaper from pre-war Europe, and how it reported the weather: Heint zun, morgen regen, v'hameshaneh itim ya'aseh k'retzono; sunny today, rainy tomorrow, but the One above does as He wills.
That was the motto of his faith: hameshaneh itim ya'aseh k'retzono; in good times and in tough times. In all the years I knew him I never heard him express worry or complaint. Even in his darkest hour, when he was told of the untimely passing of his son, R' Yosef Bezalel, his first words were: geshenkte yoren, the fifty-odd years we were given with him (after a serious childhood illness) were Hashem's gift.
And this past year, when he felt his powers diminishing, he told me so many times that we have to accept whatever Hashem gives us.
My father-in-law was a man of strong character; perhaps you might even call him stubborn. But not unreasonable, and he could be persuaded by a good argument to change his mind. But once he decided on a course of action he was a rock. He undertook Daf Yomi many cycles ago, and he would come home late from work, tired out from a hard day, but no matter what the time he sat down and did the Daf. And his ability to reach a firm decision and see it through was part of what made him such an effective leader and administrator; especially since it was wedded to his good sense and wisdom.
In those many years that he served as a dean at YU, he earned the respect of scholars and of students alike. They knew that he was an ehrlicher, and a kluger.
To his children and grandchildren, to his many students and admirers, he was indeed the very model of an ehrlicher yid, and of a kluger yid, of integrity and of wisdom. Unassuming and yet forceful, respectful and yet of an independent spirit, broadminded and yet simple in his pure faith, he brought together so many different qualities. For all of us he was a treasure house of experience and guidance. Whether the issue was professional or personal, he always brought to it a unique insight and quick intelligence.
His faith and his firmness were a remarkable combination. In the family we all know the story of how he was almost finished his PhD in chemistry, when Dr. Belkin approached him and told him that he needs his help at YU. "Rebbe", he said, "give me a few months to finish my degree". "But I need you now". And that was that. Duty called, and he responded. There was no question of finishing his degree first, so that at least he would have a safety net if Chinuch didn't work out. That was his emunah. Nor was there a question of finishing because that was what everyone expected of him – that was his strength of will.
He had a true and a deep love of Torah. When someone spoke to him in learning his face lit up. When he learned the Daf the love of Torah reverberated in his voice. I remember how he looked forward each summer to R Berel Povarsky's shiurim at the Yarchei Kallah, and how much pleasure he took in them.
Even during this past difficult year, if you wanted to catch a glimpse of what he was like in his prime the surest way was to learn with him. He would suddenly be transformed, becoming animated and invigorated. That is not a trait one suddenly develops late in life. That takes a lifetime.
And that love of Torah overflowed into abiding love of Talmidei Chachamim; real love, remarkably free of the taint of party spirit. He spoke with same love and reverence of the Rov, of R' Aharon, of R Chaim Zimmerman, of the Bluzhever Rebbe, of R' Mendel Zacks, of R' Aharon Kreizer, and of course of R' Dov Schwartzman, with whom he had a particular bond.
When he heard of a young rising star he was so unstintingly happy that lo alman yisroel. He was a true rachim rabanan, and dachil rabanan, someone who loves and reveres talmidei chachamim.
Abba was a great speaker and, actually, an incredible maspid. He had a gift to speak in a way that offered real comfort to his listeners. It was almost uncanny. One wishes he were here to do justice to our shared grief, and to comfort us in that warm voice that he used on these occasions.
But since we can't have that, I will share something I once heard from him that I think is so appropriate now.
Abba used to preside every year over the Pesach Seder. And his whole focus was on the grandchildren; he would tell them the story of yetzias Mitzrayim, and he would tell them, too, about the Sedarim that had attended as a little boy, which were presided over by his zeide. You could see how he lived and breathed the mitzvah of v'hodata l'vanecha v'livnei banecha. That was why those sedarim were so important to him; he wanted to instill those same kind of memories that had nurtured him, in his own grandchildren and great grandchildren.
At one of those sedorim he asked one of the children what she would like for her afikomen present. "A chapter book!", she answered. "What", he asked, "is a chapter book?" "You know; a book that doesn't have a lot of little stories, but chapters that are connected to make one long story – that's a chapter book".
Later, at a family celebration, he spoke to us and used that story – absolutely brilliantly – to teach us a lesson. He recounted that conversation, and then he said to us: "Isn't that what we all want? That our life should be like a chapter book – not a series of disconnected episodes, but one continuous story – in which each part of our lives leads us to the next, in a way that feels connected and purposeful".
He lived a long life, with many chapters. There was the Lower East Side chapter, the Yeshiva College chapter, the chemistry chapter, the RJJ chapter, the YU chapter, the Boro Park chapter, the retirement chapter.
But it was a chapter book. It was one continuous story, held together by a golden thread, and that thread was v'hodata l'vanecha v'livnei banecha, to pass on the mesorah of Sinai to the next generation, and the next, and the next after that. And that unity of purpose gave his life, and his persona, an unmistakable integrity and wholeness.
One last point. The Gemara in Shabbos teaches that rekev atzamos kinah, that the petty jealousies we harbor in our lifetime disturb the body's rest after death. There is no one I can think of more certain to rest in peace than my father-in-law. He had such a generosity of spirit. Never, ever did I see him evince jealousy of anyone, in any sphere. He had the rare capacity to be happy for others, and in others' accomplishments. And therefore assuredly he lays himself down now as peacefully as in a bed, resting b'shalom al mishkavo, as his neshamah ascends al kanfei ha'shechinah, to learn his beloved Torah in the mesivta d'rekia, until that time when death will have no more sway, when bila hamaves lanetzach u'macha Hashem dimah me'al kol panim.

Minnesota residents who have large amounts of unsecured debt may look to filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Unlike Chapter 13, which involves a reorganization of debt and a repayment plan, Chapter 7 does not require an individual to pay back creditors for debts that are eliminated. However, only unsecured debt can be discharged by this type of filing, and not all debts are eligible; for example, student loans usually cannot be discharged. Additionally, liens on a property are not eliminated.
It is also important to note that someone who files for Chapter 7 may be subject to asset liquidation. While an individual may keep certain exempt property, a trustee will liquidate non-exempt assets and use the proceeds to pay off as much of the outstanding debts as possible.
To be eligible for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, people must pass a means test, which involves either proving that someone makes less than the state's median income or that they have financial obligations that put them in a similar financial situation. Individuals must also have completed a credit counseling course from an approved agency within 180 days before filing. Chapter 7 is also eligible to individual debtors; this type of filing is not available for partnerships or corporations.
While Chapter 7 bankruptcy offers a variety of benefits to individuals with overwhelming levels of debt, it is important that people understand how the process works to ensure that they are aware of possible liquidation of their assets and what is and is not discharged. A bankruptcy attorney may be able to explain the benefits and possible drawbacks of filing and assist someone throughout the process.

Sun on Track with Solaris-on-Power PlanBy Jeffrey Burt | Print
Desktop-as-a-Service Designed for Any Cloud ? Nutanix Frame
In a blog entry, Sun President Jonathan Schwartz said a demo version of the Solaris operating system on IBM's Power architecture is "coming soon."Sun Microsystems Inc.'s plans for bringing its Solaris operating system to IBM's Power architecture appear to be moving along.
Jonathan Schwartz, Sun's president and chief operating officer, first broached the idea of porting the company's version of the Unix operating system onto both Power and Intel Corp.'s 64-bit Itanium architecture last month during a conference call with analysts when announcing Sun's fourth-quarter earnings.
When Schwartz mentioned it, Chairman and CEO Scott McNealy quickly said, 'That was not a product announcement."
Schwartz did not elaborate, or indicate when that demo would be released.
Read eWEEK's interview with Schwartz about Solaris.
A spokesman for Sun said the company is considering the idea of Solaris on Power, but that he was unsure how far along those plans are.
Officials with IBM, in Armonk, N.Y., declined to comment.
Charles King, an analyst with The Sageza Group Inc., said the move by Sun to port its operating system to other platforms carries its share of risks and benefits. It enables the company to expand the footprint of Solaris, but also could give competitors greater access to Sun's customers.
"It would give Sun a way of going to IBM customers and clients with a cleaner migration path to SPARC/Solaris," said King, in Union City, Calif. "It also could provide IBM an opportunity to go to Sun customers."
Currently Solaris runs on systems powered by Sun's SPARC processors and Advanced Micro Devices Inc.'s Opteron chips, as well as Fujitsu Ltd.'s PrimePower servers.
Sun has been pushing to grow its various businesses beyond the SPARC/Solaris architecture. In the volume systems space, Sun is rolling out servers powered by Opteron, which run Linux and Solaris x86. Late last month, Sun announced that its collection of server software, Java Enterprise System, will be available on Hewlett-Packard Co.'s HP-UX and Microsoft Corp.'s Windows operating systems starting in the first quarter of 2005.
Sun also has hinted at extending its Linux reach even further by possibly acquiring Novell Inc. and its SuSE Linux unit as a way of derailing IBM's Linux strategy.
For more on a possible Sun-Novell deal, click here.
And like the latest Solaris-on-Power news, the Novell idea was put out there by Schwartz via his blog. It's an interesting way of gauging reaction to ideas, said Sageza's King.
"It's a safe way of floating a trial balloon to see how the industry responds," he said.

When Paula Ferris Einaudi '65 arrived at Smith for commencement and reunion celebrations in May, she immediately went in search of a beloved campus touchstone: a bronze owl sculpture by artist Leonard Baskin that had stood in front of Wright Hall since 1963.
Einaudi, a former Smith trustee who lives in Maryland, was alarmed when she crossed Chapin Lawn and saw "a big hole in the ground" where the owl should be.
"I started asking around to see where it had gone," she says. "The owl is such a wonderful piece of art! And it's something my class took such pleasure in."
Einaudi was relieved to learn that the iconic bird sculpture—which is part of the Smith College Museum of Art's collection—had been moved in March to a spot in Capen Garden, as its original location is in the footprint of the new Neilson Library. A harness and protective lumber frame were rigged to protect the owl and its granite base during the move.
For Einaudi and other members of the class of 1965, the change brought back vivid memories of another owl move that temporarily ruffled feathers on campus.
It was 1985, the year of the class' 20th reunion. Eager to visit the owl sculpture, alumnae were dismayed to discover it had disappeared from its perch in front of Wright Hall.
"It had been removed during another library renovation that was going on at the time, and nobody seemed to know where it was," recalls Peggy White Leppik '65 of Minnesota, who had just been elected class president.
Leppik—a former 12-year member of the Minnesota House of Representatives—organized an informal search party to track down the huge bronze bird.
They finally found the sculpture in a basement storage area "upside down with its feet in the air," Leppik says. "We decided that just could not be. We wanted to see to it that the owl was remounted in front of Wright Hall."
Why was the owl so important to members of the class of 1965?
Einaudi says one reason is that its creator, world-renowned sculptor and graphic artist Leonard Baskin, was a member of the faculty at Smith. (Baskin—who taught at Smith from 1953 to 1974—died in 2000 at the age of 77.)
Leppik says students of her era also enjoyed playful interactions with the owl, frequently leaving eggs beneath it and decorating the sculpture with leis, scarves and hats.
"We made the owl our class logo," Leppik says. "We just felt really attached to that bird."
After finding the owl in storage, members of the class of '65 launched a fundraising drive as part of their 25th reunion class gift to return the sculpture to its home base in front of Wright Hall—a spot originally commissioned by an anonymous donor, according to a news release in the Smith College Archives.
"The new bronze owl will brave the winter snows and summer sun of Northampton from a three-foot pedestal in front of the recently completed Wright Hall," it reads. "The giant bird, which measures approximately a yard from beak to tail feathers and somewhat less across its massive chest,…is a unique cast, commissioned specifically by an anonymous donor for its present location."
In a ceremony held in 1990—the class of 1965's 25th reunion year—the owl was returned to its pedestal with a new plaque inscribed with a quote from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream: "The clamorous owl that nightly hoots/And wonders/At our quaint spirits."
Regardless of the owl's location after work on a new Neilson is completed in 2020, Einaudi and Leppik hope the artwork will remain an icon for future generations of Smithies.
"The owl was part of my Smith experience right from the start," says Einaudi. "It's just such an important part of the community."

A 22-year-old man from Cornish is being held in the York County Jail on burglary charges.
Scott Michael Stevens was arrested by sheriff's deputies around 8:40 Sunday night. Police allege that Stevens broke into Village Jewelers in Cornish by smashing open the front door of the business.
Deputies said they responded to the burglar alarm and saw Stevens walking in the vicinity of the business. When Deputy Kevin Ledoux approached Stevens he threw objects from his pockets into the snow, police said.
Ledoux detained Stevens, searched the area, and recovered about $1,200 worth of jewelry. Stevens was being held in the jail Monday night on $1,000 bail.
Police probe death of man found on Oxford Street
Police are investigating the death of a man whose body was found on Oxford Street on Monday morning.
The man, apparently in his 40s, was found outdoors on the 200 block of Oxford Street, police said. There were no signs of a crime.
The state medical examiner has been asked to determine the cause of the man's death and confirm his identity, police said.
Two arrested for drugs in separate incidents
Police made two drug trafficking arrests near the bus station on Sewall Street over the weekend.
Shortly before 3 p.m. Saturday, an officer was headed to the bus station when he stopped a car that went through a red light, police said. The driver, Leon A. Nelson, 32, of Boston, was found with 424 oxycodone pills that were not prescribed to him, police said. Oxycodone sells illicitly for about $1 per milligram, so the drugs would have been worth about $12,000 on the street.
About midnight, police interviewed a man who was walking from the bus station. They say Christopher Palmer, 22, of Gray was on probation and initially gave a false name. He was taken to the Cumberland County Jail, where he turned over an ounce of crack cocaine, police said.
The arrests are part of an ongoing effort to stem the flow of illegal drugs into the state, said Maine Drug Enforcement Agency supervisor Sgt. Kevin Cashman.
Snowe cites support in call for review of Afghan forces
U.S. Sen. Olympia Snowe said she is gaining support in her call for a federal review of security forces in Afghanistan in response to the killing of a soldier from Maine and five others soldiers by an Afghan recruit during training exercises.
Buddy McLain, 24, of Peru and the other soldiers from the Army's 101st Airborne Division were killed on Nov. 29. Snowe, a Republican, said she wants to ensure that Afghan security forces are not a threat to U.S. personnel.
Snowe said her effort is backed by Army officials and Democratic Sen. Carl Levin of Michigan.
Snow removal project foils suspect's attempt to flee
An Augusta man's attempt to flee from police Sunday was foiled by a snow removal project, police said.
Jesse L. Baker, 27, was charged with failing to stop for an officer, driving to endanger, driving without a license and violating probation. He also was issued a summons charging him with unlawful drug possession.
Baker was being held Monday in the Kennebec County jail on $500 bail on the driving violations. He was being held without bail on the violation probation, said officials.
Baker was arrested around 11 p.m. Sunday, after police received a complaint from another driver that a vehicle was being driven on the wrong side of the road in the Willow Street area, said police Sgt. Christopher Massey. Officers found the vehicle on Cony Street.
Baker fled from police on Cony Street onto Bridge Street, where Augusta Public Works crews were pushing snowbanks into the middle of the street for removal.
"They had snow in the middle of the road and the vehicle got stuck in the snow," Massey said.
Votes expected this week on supplemental budget
Votes on a state budget for the rest of this fiscal year are expected this week, now that the budget has received unanimous support from a legislative committee.
The Appropriations Committee late Friday approved the spending update for the year ending June 30. The budget is expected to receive quick House and Senate approval. It could come up for votes today.
Gov. Paul LePage's supplemental budget would pay down a large portion of the state's Medicaid debt to hospitals, conform state and federal tax provisions and account for increased enrollments in MaineCare, the state's Medicaid program.
Police seek information about robbery of store
Police have released a sketch of the man who robbed the Cigarette Shop at 778 Roosevelt Trail a week ago.
A witness helped police create the sketch of the man, who they say threatened a store employee at 10:30 a.m. Jan. 30 with his hand in his pocket suggesting he had a gun. He got away with a small amount of cash.
Witnesses said the man was 5 feet 10 inches to 6 feet tall, weighed 250 to 270 pounds and wore blue jeans, white sneakers, a blue thigh-length hooded coat with an unknown logo on the left pocket area, an orange ski mask and work gloves.
A witness saw him take off his mask as he left the store, and security video caught an image of his car leaving through the Walmart parking lot and then toward Landing Road. The car was a 2000 blue Dodge Caravan or Chrysler Voyager.
Police ask that anyone with information about the robbery call Detective Raymond Williams at 892-191, ext. 4414, or e-mail [email protected]

"The disgrace and disintegration of three aristocratic families" is the sub-title of a new book, Spleandour & Squalor by Marcus Scriven, and it is no surprise to see that the Bristols are one of the three. The fortune of the family that gave its name to the hotel trade was most spectacularly dissipated by John Hervey, the 6th Earl, who is said to have spent £7million on drugs, for which he was at one stage jailed. You can read about him in "LL Cool J and the Man who Shot Andy Warhol", chapter 7 in High Times at the Hotel Bristol. He did, however, not stand much of a chance, being the son of the Victor, the 6th Earl, who had also put in time for robbery and was, according to Scriven, the inspiration for Evelyn Waugh's Basil Seal Rides Again: Or, the The Rake's Regress. Victor's story is told in Paris Hilton & Lady Victoria Hervey, which can be read on-line.

Adventures in Prison Volunteering
By Lalani Matheson
Our Friend Noel asked me and my son, Arinbjorn, if we would help his friends in the Idaho Correctional System by sponsoring them in their religious pursuit. He explained that this meant in its most basic form that we just needed to show up every few months and this would allow the practicing Odinists to have a more legitimate claim to certain religious rights; a foot in the door of the judicial system so to speak. He asked nothing more of us knowing the friends on the inside would then press forward to claim these rights and we would not be put out.
Noel didn't realize that this was exactly what Arinbjorn and I had been talking about – finding something "extracurricular" to do in the name of the Odinic Rite. There was no hesitation on our part in saying yes to not only one prison group but to two facilities/two groups and we saw no reason to just put our names on the sponsor form but to visit a minimum of once a month.
Through Noel's contacts and knowledge he got us the background paperwork and forms to fill out and return and the adventure with prison affairs began!
Within 30 days I received a call from a woman to clarify some of the information we had given and was told someone should be contacting us shortly on our acceptance. It was a few more weeks after this that Arinbjorn was contacted by Chaplain Bachman of Idaho Correctional Center by email. He stated what time we were to be available at the facility for a regularly scheduled Odinist class that was held there. Due to my work schedule this time just would not work and Arinbjorn thus responded letting him know my work schedule. Bachman then very bluntly replied that when I changed my schedule to contact him! I immediately called Noel, who then informed his contacts of the situation. Meanwhile Arinbjorn had placed at least three calls to the State facility with no response.
About 2 months later Bachman emailed again. He re-scheduled his arrangements and asked if this time would be workable. I responded that I would make it work. Obviously the guys inside were not letting this opportunity go! After a few more emails and in spite of Bachman's negative attitude we were scheduled to attend a day's training in late June.
Still no word from the State facility……
Upon arrival at training with about 30 other people we were exuberantly greeted by a Mr. Kirkman, the Volunteer Co-coordinator for Idaho Department of Corrections, who claimed to be so excited about us volunteering for the Odinists at the State Prison! No contact in all this time but he can't wait to get us in there! If only he could share some of that positive energy with Bachman!
Training started with introductions – 3 AA guys, 1 NA guy, 1 Buddhist, 2 Odinist and the rest Mormons or Catholics! Despite being ignored by everyone during breaks and getting "those" looks, training was informative. I was expecting Do's and Don'ts but it was more how the volunteers can really do positive things and how the prison system has changed over the centuries and what is offered to the inmate as far as education, training, treatment.
Our next step was Orientation. Bachman emailed that this was scheduled the next week at ICC and would be 4 hours. We get there on time, give up our driver's licenses and get our visitors badges and zip through the metal detector. The guy leading us and 8 others through all of this never introduced himself but his biker vest proclaiming "Bikers for Jesus" had me assuming this was THE Chaplain Bachman! He was very blunt, as he led us to the chapel to remember the way. At the chapel we were handed off to another gentleman who gave us a tour through the different areas of the prison and then proceeded to spend the next few hours giving us a marketing speech on corporate run prisons. He said he would touch on hostage situations and the like at the next training session that we will do in a year!
Again we walked through the maze back to the chapel and were left with Bachman. All he said was he had 3 rules to follow:
1.) Don't give the inmates anything and don't take anything from them.
2.) Repeat
3.) Repeat!!
We were finished with training so all that was left to do was get fingerprinted and photographed for our volunteer badges.
We were able to coordinate times with both facilities two weeks later. Going to ICC, Bachman fingerprinted us and took our pictures, again, never introducing himself, shaking our hand – nothing! As we were leaving that prison Mr Kirkman was there, again happy to have us on board and he let us know that the appointment at IDOC was even going to include a meet and greet with the leaders of the two Odinist groups.
After lunch in a nearby town we returned to IDOC where we did a quick walk through with Kirkman and then met the guys. We were able to spend about an hour with them trying to figure out what they wanted from us, what we expected from them, and scheduling. Kirkman informed us that he was trying to get the word "chapel" removed from the building and a carved "God Loves" cross moved from the grassy area that we might possibly be able to use for outdoor ritual. If that is not workable he is going to try and get some of the Native Americans plot divided for the Odinists' use since they have such a large area.
Such a difference in attitudes between these two men! I hope the one is sincere and the other loosens up!
Our first visits are scheduled this weekend – I guess we shall see!

Don't Buy From a Puppy Farm
How to Avoid Buying From a Puppy Farm
Some simple steps to take
If you were to see a puppy farmer's premises you would probably find it quite easy to see that the conditions are not adequate or acceptable, particularly if you asked to see their kenneling conditions.
However, most puppy farmers will transport their puppies across the country to dealers, who then sell them from the internet, pet shops, free newspapers or even motorway service stations and this makes it a lot more difficult to identify where the puppy originated from.
But there are some simple steps below that you can follow, to help you ensure you do not help fuel this cruel trade:
- Ask to see the puppy's mother, which should be present.
- See the puppy in its breeding environment and ask to look at the kennelling conditions, if they were not raised within the breeder's house. If you suspect the conditions are not right, then do not buy the puppy.
- For a pedigree puppy always go to a reliable and reputable Kennel Club Assured Breeders which you can find here. If you want to find breeders currently with puppies visit the Kennel Club's Find a Puppy website here. Assured Breeders will appear at the top of the search with purple scheme logos next to their name. Click here for more information on the Kennel Club Assured Breeder Scheme, or call 0844 463 3980.
- Be prepared to be put on a waiting list – a healthy puppy is well-worth waiting for.
- Ask if you can return the puppy if things don't work out. Responsible and reputable breeders will always say yes.
- Be suspicious of a breeder selling more than one (maximum two) breeds, unless you are sure of their credentials.
- Consider alternatives to buying a pedigree puppy like getting a rescue dog or pup. Click here to find a breed rescue puppy.
- Buy a puppy from a pet shop – these have often come from puppy farms.
- Pick your puppy up from a 'neutral location' such as a car park or motorway service station. This is a common tactic used by puppy farm dealers.
- Buy a puppy because you feel like you're rescuing it. You'll only be making space available for another poorly pup to fill.
- Be fooled by a Kennel Club pedigree certificate. These are often faked by puppy farmers who are already operating illegally and have no qualms about forging paperwork. The majority of puppy farmers will not register their litters with the Kennel Club. If in doubt check with the Kennel Club.
Be suspicious of a puppy farmed pup if:
Mum isn't there
(she's most likely miles away on cruel puppy farm)
You're told mum's
at the vet,
been run over, sick,
basically anywhere else
Price is either
very cheap
or very expensive
Pup is being
sold in a pet shop
or garden centre
Only buy a puppy if:
You can see puppy
interacting with mum
It's a
breeder recommended
by the Kennel Club
(preferably Assured Breeder)
It's a rescue centre that's a
registered charity

McClatchy has an interesting article today, describing how the US spy satellite agency helped hide crimes committed by its employees and contractors, including child porn and molestation, information gleaned from routine lie detector tests. In one startling case, the agency's lawyer opined that they didn't need to notify law enforcement about an ongoing situation involving molestation because, as a 14-year old, the victim was old enough to call the police herself.
If you watch The Good Wife (which is fictional), this may not surprise you very much. [note: it looks like my copy/paste from the article also pulled some script that allows McClatchy to promote its content in my post. I'm okay with that, but didn't want ppl to think I was promoting it, beyond citing it as the source.] From the McClatchy report:
WASHINGTON — The nation's spy satellite agency failed to notify authorities when some employees and contractors confessed during lie detector tests to crimes such as child molestation, an intelligence inspector general has concluded.
In other cases, the National Reconnaissance Office delayed reporting criminal admissions obtained during security clearance polygraphs, possibly jeopardizing evidence in investigations or even the safety of children, according to the inspector general report released Tuesday , almost two years after McClatchy's reporting raised similar concerns.
In one instance, one of the agency's top lawyers told colleagues not to bother reporting confessions by a government contractor of child molestation, viewing child pornography and sexting with a minor, the inquiry by the inspector general for the intelligence community revealed.
"Doubt we have enough to interest the FBI," the agency's then -assistant general counsel told another official in an email, adding, "the alleged victim is fourteen years old and fully capable of calling the police herself." Neither party in the email was identified by name.
After the other official insisted on reporting it, the confession was eventually investigated and it turned out that the girl was still in contact with the contractor who'd confessed to the crimes. It took almost five weeks for the Department of Justice to be informed.
When confronted with the lapses by the inspector general's investigators, the National Reconnaissance Office's then-top lawyers said they "were not legally obligated . . . to report child sexual abuse to DOJ or law enforcement organizations because child abuse is a state crime, not a federal crime," the report said.

Approximately 6 million Americans present to US Emergency Departments (ED) each year for care after motor vehicle collision (MVC). More than 90% of these individuals do not have serious physical injury and are discharged to home after ED evaluation. Persistent musculoskeletal pain develops in 10-20% of European Americans (EA) who experience such MVCs, with an economic impact of $29 billion per year in the US alone. The incidence of chronic pain development in African Americans (AA) experiencing MVC has never been reported. However, substantial evidence (and the investigator's pilot data) indicate that AA experience an increased burden of chronic pain. Reasons for this increased burden are poorly understood. Mechanisms of chronic musculoskeletal pain pathogenesis after MVC are described in biopsychosocial models, most notably Vlaeyen's fear-avoidance model (FAM), which is supported by substantial research. Experiences of discrimination may influence FAM processes and contribute to an increased incidence of chronic pain in AA experiencing MVC via a number of mechanisms. For example, discrimination experiences may: (1) cause stress-induced physiologic changes which increase initial pain in response to MVC, (2) increase subsequent depression and disability, and (3) increase chronic pain vulnerability in response to disability and depression. In addition, past adverse outcomes related to discrimination may increase negative expectations after MVC, which in turn may worsen pain-related outcomes. Available data suggest that the strength of an individual's ethnic identification may moderate these discrimination influences. To date, the FAM has never been evaluated in a cohort of AA transitioning to recovery vs. persistent pain, and the influence of discrimination and ethnic identity on FAM mechanisms has never been assessed. In addition, the influence of genetic vulnerability factors on FAM concepts and processes has rarely been evaluated, and never in AA. Evaluating genetic factors which influence the function of a physiologic system affecting FAM processes can advance our understanding of how constitutional factors interact with cognitive, psychological, and experiential factors to shape pain outcomes. The adrenergic nervous system is an excellent physiologic system to assess in this regard, because of its importance in pain perception, its critical role in the stress response, and its demonstrated interaction with FAM processes during chronic pain development. The proposed study will recruit one thousand AA presenting to a research network of ED sites after minor MVC. Participants will receive initial ED evaluation and follow-up interviews at 6 weeks and 6 and 12 months. Structural equation modeling will be used to test the multivariate predictive relationships described in the FAM. The influence of experiences of discrimination and ethnic identity on specific FAM concepts and processes will also be assessed, as will the influence of genetic factors affecting adrenergic system function. Together, the results of these analyses will substantially advance our knowledge of chronic pain pathogenesis in AA.
Chronic pain after motor vehicle collision (MVC) is common in European Americans, but to date no studies have been performed in African American cohorts, and the incidence and mechanisms of chronic post-MVC pain development in African Americans are unknown. The proposed study will provide new knowledge regarding mechanisms of persistent post-MVC musculoskeletal pain development in African Americans.

Durability and quality
There are lots of factors determine the sturdiness of purses. Possibly the flexibility from the handbag may be the deciding element in its durability. Nearly all fashionable and versatile handbags are made and produced in leather. There are lots of kinds of leather, each using its own characteristics. The most typical leathers accustomed to make handbags are ostrich, rawhide, lamb, deer, moose, alligator, and swine simply to name a couple of illustrations. The procedure, where the leather is processed, treated, cured, and finally formed is very vital that you the lifespan from the handbag. Clearly, most of the handbag designers are likely to make use of a greater quality of leather with respect to the potential cost tag towards the consumer.
Aside from the durability, the particular style of the handbag is important towards the existence from the handbag too. The compartments of the handbag really are a very important feature to the handbag. However, many people like many compartments, some like merely a couple of some like big compartments, some like small. Handbag designers keep the range of their potential consumers in your mind. One factor is for certain about the style of the handbag: all handbags are potentially unique. All handbags provide the individual user a feeling of uniqueness and elegance. Handbags are invaluable accessories to anyone's wardrobe. Your wardrobe is incomplete without handbags.
Cost is a vital shown to lots of people when choosing a handbag. Locating a reasonable and acceptable cost is frequently daunting then one straight from a spy movie. Locating a Mulberry handbag for $29 in the pub corner may appear extremely wonderful. However, you have to think about: would you honestly think that a Mulberry handbag for $29 is definitely an authentic Mulberry handbag? Lots of people sell imitation handbags – frequently known as "knock-offs". If your handbag appears like a reputation brand handbag, has got the brand name tag, and it is a steal… proceed with extreme care. Having a knock-off brand is against the law in many countries. Now bear in mind that lots of people purchase replica handbags. These handbags don't tell you they are the initial brand whatsoever, but carefully replicated facsimiles. Obviously, the replica handbags will not function as the same excellence of the brand name. Remember: you receive that which you purchase.
Choosing to buy a handbag is stuffed with options, options, and much more options. Don't feel overwhelmed. Be familiar with what you would like before beginning. Be aware of cost range you're searching for. Be aware of options you simply cannot do without. Then buy exactly what you would like and want. A great handbag will offer you the dog owner many key elements: versatility, reliability, functionality, and every one of this while remaining stylish, trendy, and cost-effective.
Pazzion presents the latest collections of fantastic and stylish handbags Singapore. The handbags are made from genuine leather and the designs are quite exclusive. The collection includes embellished as well as everyday bags that come in pastel shades with minimal and clean look.

Its true. Inspiration can come from any where and all forms, shapes and sizes. I have found a bunch of it in the last few days.
The first bunch came from World Market in Park City. How come I've never been there before! It had the most beautiful patterns and all were reasonably priced. It was kind of a mix between Anthropologie, Pier 1 and TJ Maxx, but without any clothes and at half the cost. Simply beautiful. There were so many amazing patterns. I came so close to buying some curtains for my office, but they were out. Darn! I'm definitely going back again very soon.
These are imported soaps from France. Cute.
My new rug. It works perfectly for my kitchen. Only $5!
Cute Ramekins. Again, they match my green kitchen.
Not sure what to do with this adorable napkin. But I loved the pattern so much I had to buy it. I could make a pin cushion or a seat cover. So many choices, maybe I'll have to go back and get another.
This came in a set of two napkins. Loved this pattern. Figured yellow goes well with green too right?
This next bunch is from the new Liberty of London for Target line. WOW!!! Is all I have to say about that. I went to Target yesterday morning and was in a little piece of heaven. They had these beautiful floral prints on everything from notebooks to watering cans. From lamp shades to mens boxers. Wow!!! I wanted to purchase everything.
Several ladies had their shopping carts full of Liberty of London prints. It was so exciting to see that so many other people enjoyed the prints too.
I ended up getting this adorable ceramic container, that again matches my green kitchen.
And a few notebooks.
I will need to go back again very soon. And I will probably purchase more. If it wasn't so stinkin' cute, I wouldn't have this problem. The good part is that I can count it as a business expense and it is tax deductible.
Thank you beautiful inspiration!!!

RINKER ON COLLECTIBLES — Column #1020 Copyright © Rinker Enterprises, Inc. 2006
Technology's Role, Current State of the Market, and Growth Opportunities
This is the fourth of a four-part series of Rinker on Collectibles columns focusing on the globalization of collecting. The three previous columns dealt with "Understanding the Collecting Community," "America's Role" in the globalization process, and "Understanding the Foreign Collecting Scene."
The cell/mobile phone, the personal computer, and the Internet created a technological communication revolution in the 1990s. This revolution is far from over. Cable, telephone, and Internet companies continue to fight for the right to distribute their communication technology through the others' network. What is new today is obsolete tomorrow.
The technological communication revolution accelerated the globalization of collecting. It did not cause it. When one looks back to the 1970s and 1980s, one finds evidence of a growing awareness of the importance and power of global collecting.
Christie's and Sotheby's arrival in New York in the late 1970s is the most obvious example. This British invasion proved highly successful. The fine arts, i.e., paintings, sculpture, etc., and high-end decorative arts markets led the way. Goods flowed freely across the ocean, albeit Americans still tended to buy more foreign examples than vice versa.
Toy collectors led the way in the globalization of collecting in collectibles. American toy collectors actively traveled abroad to purchase English and European toys at toy auctions and specialized shows. English and European collectors reciprocated. Collections on both sides of the Atlantic were highly diversified in respect to country of manufacture. The specialized toy literature, e.g., the magazine Antique Toy World, regularly ran stories about foreign auctions, collectors, and shows. Most importantly, toy collectors developed friendships that transcended national boundaries and worked actively to maintain these relationships.
The personal computer spawned the Internet. The Internet became and remains the principal method by which collectors with similar interest communicate globally. The American collector is the principal beneficiary because the universal language of the Internet is American or, for those who find my jingoism offensive, American English. While American English is the world's second language, it is the Internet's first language. The growing ethnic diversity within America provides no threat. The growing use of American English on the Internet continues unabated.
Until recently the cost of access was a major factor in limiting the Internet's growth. Most countries had the required communication infrastructure and hardware/software accessibility. The per minute access cost, extremely high in many countries, was the problem. America became the world's leader in providing daily unlimited access to the Internet at an affordable monthly cost. As the twenty-first century dawned, other countries followed suit. Today, Europe, much of the Far East and Asia including China, North, Central, and South America, and large sections of the Middle East have affordable daily unlimited access to the Internet.
Africa is the exception. While there are collectors of African art and artifacts outside Africa, in all the years I have been involved with collecting I have never heard anyone talk of an African collecting community other than a few collectors and institutions in South Africa. EBay is not there. Neither is anyone else with strong established collecting community roots. The ability to establish collecting roots is contingent on political stability, an income level that produces discretionary income, and a societal emphasis on preserving the past. For the moment, Africa remains far outside the globalization of collecting.
The high cost of voice communication among global collectors, especially American collectors calling abroad, has been a major deterrent in the use of household and cell/mobile phones. The arrival of Skype, eBay's new Internet voice communication service, is in the process of changing this. Skype is free. Skype is more than computer to computer communication via voice. Skype rates, usually a few cents per minute, to call anyone worldwide on any phone are very affordable. I now pay less than five cents a minute to talk with my friends abroad rather than the thirty plus cents per minute I was paying my long-distance provider.
Again, Skype requires computer access, not a problem for the vast majority of the population in North America, Europe, and many other parts of the world. You can learn more about Skype on www.ebay.com.
Overcoming the cost factor is just the first step for Skype. The real revolution will come when instant translation service becomes available. This will allow a collector in the United States to call a collector in a foreign country and have them hear each other in their native language. A translation of the conversation will occur simultaneously. Futuristic pipedream?
Absolutely, not! The software exists. It just needs to be refined.
The globalization of collecting is no longer in its infancy. However, it is in the early stages of its maturing process. The process is strongest in countries where English is the principal language—Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Europe is not far behind. In fact, in collecting post-1945 Modernism, one of the principal collecting categories that is fueling the globalization mindset, European collectors are light years ahead of American collectors in their appreciation and acceptance of objects reflecting this design style. As younger European collectors become more aware and enamored with post-1960 collectibles from movies, music, and television to clothing and accessories, look for the globalization of collecting to accelerate even faster.
Japan remains a distant entity to most American collectors. Many eBay sellers know the buying power of the Japanese, but few understand the market into which they are selling. The collecting market is as sophisticated in Japan as it is in the United States. Shows, shops, malls, trade periodicals, etc., all exist. The difficulty is that all the literature is in Japanese, a language most Americans cannot read. I am aware of one Hawaiian dealer who has gone to Japan and set up at shows. I plan to contact her and ask about her experiences.
Reports are beginning to flow from major auction houses about an influx of new buyers from Central and South America. Central and South American buyers have had a strong impact on Miami-based antiques shows for over a decade. I have met several dealers who reported that they shipped container loads of Colonial Revival mahogany furniture to Central and South America. During a brief visit to Ecuador in July 2004, I met with a few collectors. While furniture tastes were definitely European-focused, decorative accessories had a strong American flair. Clearly, there is a strong collecting community in Central and South America. They are lands of opportunity.
Arabic collectors, especially from Saudi Arabia, have been major players in the European auction scene for several decades. If my sources are correct, they buy heavily in the American antique and classic car, fine art and high-end decorative accessories, and jewelry markets. Those sellers who have contacts in this market have kept their sources very quiet. Contact between American and Arabic world collectors is minimal. Again, opportunities abound.
China, India, and the old Soviet Block Nations, especially Poland, are other areas ripe for collector to collector contact. EBay has made inroads into China. India is a mystery that I hope to explore in the immediate future. When eBay opened its Polish site, the traffic was so heavy the first day that the site crashed. Polish dealers are regulars at German flea markets. One can assume the flow of goods is not just east to west. Polish collectors also are heading west to take advantage of the ability to find goods to add to their collection.
In the twenty-first century, one needs to think globally. This is a major challenge for American collectors since the vast majority, i.e., ninety-five percent plus, think provincially.
I would welcome hearing from readers who have antiqued or have contacts with collectors in China, Central and South America, India, and/or Japan. E-mail your experiences to firstname.lastname@example.com. Thanks.

In April, Barb and I explored a little gem of a whitewater river that we want to include in our next Costa Rican Paddle Adventure. Our good friends (and CRPA guide) Fofo and Alejandro expertly guided us down this exciting stream. There are many technical Class III rapids with short intervals between each rapids, so there was lots of action. Never dangerous, always challenging, we had an absolute blast paddling the warm tropical waters. We hope you will consider joining one of our trips.

Midland Square in Nagoya
Very tall building near Nagoya station. It is 247 m high with more than 44 floors. There is around-the-house panorama walkway on top, which starts at 44th and gradually descends to 42nd floor. Good view on city through glass windows, even elevator has glass windows, which gives maximum experience of the hight.
Nagoya doesn't have many high-rise buildings, except for area near Nagoya station. Nagoya station itself has two tall towers. Since new tall buildings are being built this area could become small Manhattan in the middle of Nagoya.
