Police face many different things ranging from gory to disgusting every day. However, this cop in Missouri could not withstand Sean Sykes Jr.'s farts according to the court documents.
Sykes, a 24-year-old man from Kansas City, was arrested in September for illegal gun and drug possession and was getting questioned by a detective. Whenever he was asked a question, instead of answering, Sykes farted. The detective could take the stinky answers no longer and had to lead the room. The officer wrote his account with Sykes in his report, "Mr. Sykes continued to be flatulent and I ended the interview."
The details of the very stinky interview emerged after Sykes was arrested again in early November. He is now facing two separate federal charges of illegal possession of firearm and drugs from September and November.
He initially denied the ownership of the firearm and drugs he was in possession of in September, however, since he was arrested again, he will be fully accounted for both arrests.
He is formally charged with the federal charges including the possession of stolen firearm offenses and possession with intent to sell cocaine.

Most people know Goodwill Industries International primarily through the stores that sell donated goods. But it is a $5 billion nonprofit that provides employment, education and job training for those who have difficulty finding jobs, including older people and people with criminal backgrounds and disabilities. Goodwill has 162 branches in the United States and Canada, which operate largely independently.
According to Goodwill's website, more than $4 billion of its income derives from sales at its retail stores. The remainder comes from other sources, including corporate, foundation and government grants.
Dropouts Statistics
Over the most recent five-year period, from 2010 to 2015, the high school dropout rate fell to 5.9 percent from 7.4 percent, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. But that still means millions of Americans are without diplomas. In 2015, about 2.4 million young adults from the ages of 16 to 24 were not in school and did not have a high school degree or equivalency.
Research shows that high school dropouts are nearly three times more likely than college graduates to be unemployed. Even when employed, high school dropouts earn about $8,000 a year less than high school graduates and approximately $26,500 a year less than college graduates.

Much of adult education focuses on helping dropouts get a Graduate Equivalency Degree (G.E.D.), or high school equivalency credential, but research has shown that G.E.D. holders generally earn only as much as high school dropouts. According to one study, dropouts and G.E.D. recipients earned $10,000 less in their 30s than those with a high school diploma.
Statistics for Indiana Excel Centers
About 3,000 students have graduated from Indiana Excel Center schools since 2010. The graduation rate was 24 percent in 2016-17, an increase from 15 percent in 2012.
A useful comparison is YouthBuild, a national nonprofit that helps young adults who are not in school or working with employment and educational opportunities. It has a higher degree completion rate — either a diploma, G.E.D. or vocational certification, depending on the school.
But it serves only students up to their mid-20s and is less flexible with program attendance.
At the Indiana centers, 45 percent of those who have graduated are white, 31 percent black, 11 percent Hispanic and 13 percent other.
Forty percent of students are from 18 to 21 years old, while 18 percent are 30 to 39 years old and 9 percent are 40 years or older.
According to a 2017 report, 38 percent of graduates were enrolled in postsecondary education, and of those 76 percent have continued to be enrolled in a college or university for at least two years.
The same report found that 70 percent of graduates were employed and had a 50 percent wage increase six months after graduation. That compares with only 30 percent of students who were employed upon entering an Excel Center.
Most students take an average of 12 to 18 months to graduate after entering Excel, but there is no time limit.
School enrollment typically ranges from about 100 to 350 students — about 20 students per class.
The Indiana State Legislature spends $35 million annually funding adult education for dropouts, with much of that money going to the Goodwill Excel Center.

I do not usually explain my poems. But this is one of my older ones. Usually I throw away the poems I make; I send them to a friend, say, and will not bother to copy it back. Or put it as a comment somewhere never to be found again. But I have this one because I had entered it in a competition… and won!
It is written in exactly 377 words – according to MS Word. Those nuanced in Indian LGBT scene should know that Article 377 is a very nasty law which prohibits unnatural sex – interpreted to be anything other than penal-vaginal sex – and on ground used by police to harass LGBT people. It has a tumultuous legal history too; the 147 year old law drafted in British colonial era was decriminalized by Delhi High Court in 2009 (applicable to all of India) but Supreme Court reinstated it. The latter judgment is widely regarded as one of the worst reasoned judgments that came out of SC in recent times. In that spirit, the competition was titled 'Constrained by 377' and here is my poem without further ado:
The Wounded
Delhi has it never seen
Power cut so deep and sour.
For three full days it has been
My life's darkest hour.
I have been home all this time
With my parents and sister.
To them I confessed my "crime"
On the bannister.
Back on first day of the cut
Confusion and chaos ruled.
Next day anger shot up but
By evening it cooled.
By the third day chaos looked
Like a new monotony;
It was all fans, teas and books
(People act funny).
Third day evening we all too
Gathered for the evening snack:
Tea brew, soup stew, laugh ensued
But I sat all blank.
I suddenly interrupted,
"Father, mother – need to talk.
Sorry I have disrupted…
Please, you do not balk."
Father stopped supping his soup;
Mother looked very concerned;
Sister laughed – a nincompoop –
Stern looks rightly earned.
Every single eye on me
Their piercing glances stung;
Buzzing sound of only bee
I sat, got tea-drunk.
Caffeine gave me boost of sorts,
I started, "I am okay.
If long story is made short –
People, I am gay."
Breaking china, more silence.
Breaking hearts, more buzzing bee.
Atmosphere really tense –
Gods, please swallow me!
No sound comes from sister young;
She forgets to close her jaw.
Mother has on tip o' tongue
Numerous questions though.
Yet first to speak was father,
"Do not be a fool, my dear."
Did he really not bother
To acknowledge my tears?
Tears – oh! – they had welled up
very soon they turned to tide.
I put down my angry cup –
Stumbled, ran inside.
I do not know why they never
Followed me into my room.
Lonely, I cried in despair
'Twas my day of doom.
I woke up at three A.M.
The stars too had not set.
Clung to me was darkness and
Pillow really wet.
Everybody was sleeping.
I tiptoed to get some food
When I heard mother weeping;
Strangely, I felt good.
She was sitting on the porch
On the very same chair.
Glowing in the dim of torch
Far away nowhere.
Inch to her was like a mile
Her I didn't want to console.
I had suffered all this while
Revenge was my goal.

That said, I'm not quite sure what he would have thought had he been with me Saturday as I knelt in front of the Natick fire house to photograph the crosswalk. Thankfully, all was quiet as I knelt there, admiring the wonderfully graphic patterns created by Massachusetts weather, the weight of the fire trucks and maybe even by human feet.
4 comments:
These are utterly beautiful... I'm often found taking photos of things considered 'odd' by others too! So I'm totally with you! They look great displayed as a grid xReplyDelete
Kathryn - It's good to find a kindred spirit! There's just something about the wear and tear on painted crosswalks that fascinates me immensely...just like with steps that have been repainted time and again so that the various layers of color show through. Enjoy!ReplyDelete
I love looking down and seeing the beautiful things...such lovely patterns here and I love the grid of course!ReplyDelete
Fiona - One of the things that I found so interesting about the crosswalk patterns was that I'd visited Natick, Massachusetts for the purpose of meeting another blogging contact, Jeanne Williamson, whose work is created using construction fencing. It was one of those happy accidents that seemed so apropos. I did wonder if she'd ever noticed the crosswalk and seen the similarities in patterning that I did. Jeanne's blog is on my favorites list if you care to take a look.ReplyDelete

Prescriptive Memories in Grief and Loss: The Art of Dreamscaping
Edited and authored by Nancy Gershman and Barbara E. Thompson
This book introduces a wide range of therapists to a novel, strengths-based and imaginal practice for helping clients at various points along the grief and loss continuum. Grounded in recent empirical research on how the emotional brain encodes new memories, this book describes how to create a resource-rich "prescriptive memory." Chapters by internationally recognized authors explore the theory and application of dreamscaping from a transdisciplinary perspective, including protocols for use with individuals and groups, and guidelines for collaboration with other therapists and professionals. Illustrated with full-color dreamscape images co-created by clients and therapists, this is an exciting and innovative guidebook to a new method for cultivating hope and promoting restoration and growth.
Nancy Gershman is a memory artist and the developer of dreamscaping, with more than a decade practicing in end of life and bereavement care, as well as presenting and providing training internationally on the practice. Nancy has authored case studies in Robert A. Neimeyer's Techniques of Grief Therapy (Routledge, 2012, 2016), and Annals of American Psychotherapy. For her work as a memory artist at Visiting Nurse Service of NY, she was featured as NY1's "New Yorker of the Week" (2016). Dreamscaping with the eating-disordered patients of art psychotherapist, Lauren Lazar Stern, led to the traveling exhibition, "The Brides of ED" (2013) at New York University, University of Rochester and the University of Chicago. Since 2013, she is the host of Death Café New York City. Website: artforyoursake.com
Barbara E. Thompson, OTD, LCSW, is Professor in the Department of Occupational Therapy at The Sage Colleges in Troy, New York, where she also maintains a private psychotherapy practice. Thompson is editor of and author in Grief and the Expressive Arts: Practices for Creating Meaning (2014) with Robert A. Neimeyer, and is a strong proponent of interprofessional education and practice.

The Spanish Greyhound is similar to the Greyhound in a several ways, but has a number of traits that separate him from his British cousin. Like the Greyhound, the Galgo is mainly used for coursing the hare. The breed has also been used for hunting other game animals like rabbits, foxes and also boars. Whereas the Galso may have played a part in the development of the Greyhound, the Greyhound is definitely an ingredient in the Galgo.
Hallmarks of the breed include a long and narrow head, with the width of the skull not to exceed half of its length, rather fleshy rose-shaped ears, a long body with accentuated curves, with a concavity of the back and the convexity of the loin without abrupt breaks. The Galgo gives a look of rubustness, agility and resistance with straight and muscular hindquarters, harefeet and a particularly long tail with a hook at the end. The muscles are distinctly flat and long and never bulge. The trot is long and elastic. Health problem known in this breed include ectropion andentropion. The ideal height is 23-27 inches at shoulders. The coat comes in two varieties: one is fine and short, the other is semi-long and hard. All colors are allowed, most typical being fawn and more or less dark brindles, well pigmented; black; flecked with black, dark and ligh; burned chestnut; cinnamon; yellow; red; white and pied.

Is Modi's 'shining' India merely a mirage?
A new report paints a gloomy picture of India's economic landscape and finds the middle class is getting squeezed
Asked last year to comment on the state of India's inequality, the celebrated French economist Thomas Piketty replied: "We don't really know". But now we do. According to a paper published last week by Mr Piketty and his colleague, Lucas Chancel, income inequality in India is at its most extreme since 1922, when India was a British colony. The liberalisation of India's economy, which began in the 1980s and intensified in the 1990s, lifted millions of people out of extreme poverty. India is now home to one of the largest middle classes. But the chief beneficiaries of the state's gradual self-evacuation from the "commanding heights" of the economy have been the top one per cent of Indians, who today appropriate a larger share of the country's income than at any point in the last century.
Under the British Raj, says the report by Messrs Piketty and Chancel, the "top 1 per cent of earners captured less than 21 per cent of total income". This figure, having dropped to six per cent in the early 1980s, now stands at 22 per cent. Advocates of economic growth have long argued that the pursuit of equality hampers the fight against poverty. Prosperity, they said, would eventually percolate to the bottom rungs of society. This clearly hasn't happened. In fact, according to Messrs Piketty and Chancel, the Indian middle class was better off between 1951 and 1980 – the high noon of socialism. This period, much decried now, is when India built its industrial capacity and laid down safety nets for the poorest.
The better future promised by champions of economic reforms may yet come about, but what of the millions of Indians who have adversely been affected by this transition? Indian prime minister Narendra Modi promised to reach out to them. Yet his policy of "demonetisation", which banned 86 per cent of all currency in circulation, only compounded the misery of India's poorest. The rich are getting richer, the middle class is getting poorer, and there is no upward mobility for the poor. If Mr Modi doesn't urgently address this problem, "shining India" will come to be seen as a cruel hoax.

There are a number of ways that you can sustain one or more broken knuckle. A broken knuckle can be very painful and have several complications if the injury was severe or medical treatment was not sought quickly after the accident. While many people don't think of a broken knuckle as such a major injury, damaging the metacarpal bone can cause some serious problems and involve substantial recovery time. Our guide cover how a broken knuckle can be sustained, the possible complications, and some of the common treatments available.
What is a Broken Knuckle?
Normally, a broken knuckle is the result of injuries received whilst a fist is clenched, such as punching, which commonly results in a broken pinky knuckle. However, a broken knuckle can also be sustained in other accidents, such as vehicle accidents or falls.
You should be able to identify quickly if your knuckle is broken as the area will likely become swollen and bruised, along with being very painful. A sunken knuckle can also be a sign of a broken knuckle, but it is not a guaranteed indication. In all cases, if you think that your knuckle is broken, it is important to get the advice of a broken knuckle NHS expert to ensure that you get the right treatment for your broken knuckle.
What Helpful Free Broken Knuckle Treatment Could I be Eligible For?
Suffering from a broken knuckle could mean that you are eligible for free treatments like a medical compression, a sling, or ice packs to help with swelling. People all over the UK are eligible to claim for additional free treatment which can greatly aid their recovery. To see if you're eligible for any of the treatments available, you can contact our team today.
Are There Any Complications with Broken Knuckles?
There are a lot of complications that can occur in the case of severe broken knuckle injuries and a broken knuckle that has been left untreated. These can result in increased pain and stiffness, along with the requirement of further treatment. Some of the most problematic complications include:
- Mal-union
- Delayed Union
- Infection
- Non-union
Am I Eligible for Any Free Private Treatment?
Whether you're suffering from a sunken knuckle, bruised knuckle, or a broken finger knuckle, you may be able to receive additional free medical treatment. Depending on your location in the UK, there is an extensive range of treatments available that are completely free, such as physiotherapy.
Access to the treatments can help you to recover from your broken knuckle quickly, whether the injury involves a sunken knuckle metacarpal, or you require a broken knuckle cast. You can contact us today to see which treatments are in your local area, and which you may qualify for.
Is There a Way That I Can Recover Safer and Hopefully Faster?
A fast and safe recovery after a broken knuckle or sunken knuckle can be helped by undertaking sessions with a trained physiotherapist. Many UK nationals are able to receive physiotherapy treatments for free. If you call our team today, we can help you to find out whether you can claim physiotherapy sessions for free, and what other treatments may be open to you.
Contact Us to See If You Are Eligible for Free Private Treatment
There are lots of different types of private medical treatment available in the UK for free, many people just don't realise that they are eligible to receive it for a bruised knuckle or broken knuckle. Depending on the severity of your injury, you could be eligible to receive physiotherapy or assistance from an orthopaedic. In addition to this, you could also be eligible to receive medical supplies, such as a free sling to help you recover safely.
If you want more information about the free treatments available in the UK for broken knuckles, please don't hesitate to contact Medical Expert on 020 3870 4868. Our friendly and professional team will chat with you about your injury and inform you of the treatment options available, along with your eligibility. The whole process is incredibly quick, yet the free treatment you could receive could set you on the right path to considerably reducing your recovery time.

The Marvelous Mrs Maisel actor Brian Tarantina has died in his Manhattan home aged 60.
The New York Police Department says officers responded to the apartment on West 51st Street shortly before 1am on Saturday.
They found the character actor on his couch, fully clothed but unconscious and unresponsive. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The cause of death is being determined by the medical examiner.
His manager Laurie Smith said he had recently had a severe illness. She remembered him as a "wonderful actor and good friend".
Tarantina had roles in a number of television shows and movies, including Gilmore Girls and BlacKkKlansman.

A Nissan GTR was caught on camera swerving and abruptly stopping in the middle of Penang Road to Exeter Road, apparently to block a driver behind.
Stomper Arjun alerted Stomp to a video of the incident posted by SG Road Vigilante.
According to the timestamp on the video, it took place on Jan 11 at about 10.11pm.
The Stomper said: "When I watched the video, I felt that the driver caused a lot of problems on the road and put other motorists in danger."
The caption accompanying the video read: "Nissan GTR trying to block cam car from Penang road until Exeter road.
"Regardless what happened prior to the footage, such reckless actions that endanger other road users are uncalled for."
The video starts with the black Nissan filtering speedily from the leftmost lane to the rightmost lane.
The vehicle then stops moving despite the green light to pass and swerves into the middle lane on its left.
It stops and this disallows the cars behind it to pass.
A car on the rightmost lane wanted to filter left, however, it could not.
A series of horns are blared over the classical music playing in the vehicle with the in-car camera.
The Nissan still does not budge. A space big enough for two to three vehicles is left in front of it.
The lights turn red and the vehicles blocked switch lanes in order to pass later on.
The vehicle with the in-car camera turns to move to the leftmost lane and stops behind a taxi.
The Nissan then turns slightly, seemingly trying to cut in front of the vehicle.
The lights turn green again and the latter turns left into another lane, where the lights are red.
The Nissan follows suit and stops just next to the vehicle.
It again leaves a space in front of it.
When the lights turn green, the vehicle is blocked slightly by the Nissan and has to move into the first lane on his left before proceeding.
The Nissan speeds up in front of the vehicle and drivers in between the first and second lane while turning right.
After it speeds up and cuts in front of the vehicle once again, it zigzags between the two lanes.
Beeps of a horn can be heard in the background.
Suddenly, the Nissan abruptly stops and blocks the vehicle.
The vehicle driver jams on the brakes and reverses to try and continue driving, but to no avail.
The Nissan starts travelling forward again and the vehicle follows suit.
However, just as it had done before, the Nissan abruptly stops and the vehicle driver jams on his brakes.
The Nissan speeds up in front and the video ends.

Colin Farrell wants to direct
Irish actor Colin Farrell is hoping to step behind the camera to become a Hollywood director.
The 36-year-old 'The Recruit' star has set up his own film company, Coombe Street Productions, named after the Dublin hospital where he was born, and wants to eventually tackle a role off screen, reported Daily Star online.
However, Farrell said that his directing dream could be dashed due to nerves. "I would love to direct at some stage... maybe. I mean, I would be nervous. Everyone would be like, target," he said. The actor will be next seen in "Dead Man Down" and "Epic" in 2013.

In 1985 in the country of Alissia, farmers brought to market a broccoli crop that was one-and-a-half times as large as the 1985 broccoli crop in its neighbor country, Barbera. Yet total quantities of broccoli available for sale to consumers in Alissia were smaller than were total quantities in Barbera in 1985.
Which of the following, if true, in 1985, contributes most to an explanation of why there was less broccoli available for sale to consumers in Alissia than in Barbera?
- Barbera's farmers produced much more cabbage than did Alissia's farmers.
- Barbera's farmers produced fewer heads of broccoli per acre than did Alissia's farmers.
- Alissia exported a much higher proportion of its broccoli crop than did Barbera.
- Broccoli was much more popular among consumers in Alissia than in Barbera.
- Alissia had more land suitable for growing broccoli than did Barbera.

The London Gazette Notice clearly states that as long as you are not a Crown Servant when the medal is conferred and it has been accepted you automatically have permission to wear.
Now certain Senior Civil Servants state that the LG Notice does not apply to the PJM because we were Crown Servants when we earned the medal, this is total B/S. Then they state that the LG Notice does not apply to Campaign or Commemorative War Medals, so what the PJM is a Service Medal just ask the Malaysians; and the FCO now agree that it is up to the Malaysians to classify the PJM and not the British Civil Service after all it is their medal.
Many service associations inc the Royal British Legion accept the above so why not the British Civil Service.
Now in an effort to bring the Civil Service into line I have been corresponding with the Head of the Civil Service Sir Gus O'Donnell KCB, I must add that so far it has been a one way communication as he has not answered my emails so I have now sent him a letter by recorded delivery which his office should receive on Monday 8th June 2009.

My emails
Sir Gus,
I have sent you two emails and so far no reply, I do understand that there are far more important things going on in the Country today and that you are extremely busy but if you could at least let me know by return that my correspondence has been received and is being dealt with.
I enclose a copy of my emails and I ask the same questions again;
Q1; Do you accept that the Pingat Jasa Malaysia Medal is a Service Medal?
Q2; Do you accept that the London Gazette Notice 5057 of the 3rd May 1968 applies to Foreign Medals when they were conferred?
If no to any of the above questions could you please explain in full WHY?
The FCO state that it is up to the Malaysians to clarify the PJM as it is their medal and as you will see by the citation the PJM is a Service Medal and nowhere in the FCO files relating to the London Gazette Notice 5057 of the 3rd May 1968 does it excludes Service Medals also these files state that it is when the medal is conferred.
I thank you for your time and look forward to your reply
Kind regards
Paul Alders
Copy of my emails
Sir Gus;
As I stated in my previous email of the 28th May 2009 my questions are either ignored or the question is skirted around so as not to give an answer.
Now I do realize that you are extremely busy and maybe not had the time to answer my questions as yet or you maybe carrying out some research so to help you may I point out that the citation for the PJM clearly states that the PJM is a Service Medal also I have read the FCO Files concerning the London Gazette Notice 5057 more times than I care to remember and nowhere does it excludes Service Medals and these files clearly state that it is when the medal is conferred.
We are more than willing to meet you at your convenience to discuss this issue.
I have pasted a copy of my previous email below.
Many thanks for your time and trouble
Kind regards
Copy of Previous email
Sir Gus,
Many thanks for your quick response to my complaint I do understand your answer and it was never my intention to have any Civil Servant reprimanded but I am trying to get two points clarified and every time I try I am either ignored or the person I ask skirts around the question also my complaint was never about the decision to wear or not to wear the PJM but more about statements that were intended to mislead even that Ministerial Statement by Ian Person has been withdrawn by him has he now realizes that he was given incorrect information by his Civil Service advisors, unintentionally of course. Ian now campaigns for the PJM to be worn.
Now I have the greatest respect for you so now that I have your direct email address will you be so kind to give me a direct answer to two direct questions.
Q1; Do you accept that the Pingat Jasa Malaysia Medal is a Service Medal?
Q2; Do you accept that the London Gazette Notice 5057 of the 3rd May 1968 applies to Foreign Medals when they were conferred?
If no to any of the above questions could you please explain in full WHY?
Many thanks for your time and trouble and I do look forward to your answer.
Kind regards
Sir Gus O'Donnell's email address is email@example.com

In the wake of attacks on Hindus in Brahmanbaria, India has conveyed its deep concern over the security of the minority community members in Bangladesh, UNB reports.
Indian External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj has talked to Indian High Commissioner Harsh Vardhan Shringla in this regard and asked him to meet Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to convey their "grave concern".
"I have asked Indian High Commissioner in Dhaka to call on the Prime Minister and express our grave concern about the safety and wellbeing of the Hindus in Bangladesh," Sushma tweeted on Sunday.
Her response came when a Tweeter accountholder, 'templetree', tweeted tagging the Indian External Affairs Minister saying, "There is large scale violence against Hindus in Bangladesh. Their houses and temples are being destroyed. Please do something."
When contacted, a diplomat at the Indian High Commission told UNB that it has conveyed the concerns through appropriate channel though there has been no meeting with the Prime Minister. On October 30, an unruly mob equipped with sharp weapons went berserk and demolished a number of Hindu temples and nearly 100 houses in the upazila following a rumour of a Facebook post demeaning the holy Kaaba.
In a fresh attack on Friday, miscreants also set fire to at least six houses of Hindus in the upazila amid alertness of law enforcement agencies and local administration.

Our ambition has always been to be the best at what we do, never the least expensive. Compared to mass produced, particle board cabinets, with limited color choices, we are definitely more expensive. If the "brokers" match my "specifications" our prices are about even, but our products are superior in every way. Design is one thing; execution of a design is quite another.
All dovetail drawers are not equal. All mortise & tenon stile " rail doors are not equal. "Dovetail" and "mortise & tenon" describes joinery techniques, but the quality is all in the execution, and mass produced cabinetry does not compare to the attention to detail that we pay.
You can find another company that will in fact match our exacting standards and superb quality of cabinetry; however, you will in all likelihood have to pay significantly more. We feel that custom cabinets purchased from AWR represent the best value for the dollar spent.

Lost in Austen (2008)
Lost in Austen (2008) is yet another television version of a fairly respectable literary idea, namely that a human being can transition into the pages of a book and become involved in the action. One of the most interesting and inventive versions of this trope are the Thursday Next novels by Jasper Fforde in which, through the use of a Prose Portal, characters can enter the fictional worlds of both existing great novels and new books still being written. The first is called The Eyre Affair and, not surprisingly involves Jane Eyre, some of Wordsworth's poetry and Poe's "The Raven". If you enjoy literary fantasy, the six novels in this series are well worth reading (with another due in a couple of months). The thematic opposite is represented by books like the Inkheart trilogy by Cornelia Funke. In these books, fictional characters are released from their books into "our" world. Handled well, such books, films and television episodes are entertaining because they allow a completely different view of well-known texts. The problem comes with a phenomenon now called Mary Sue or Gary Stu stories.
Many writers of what's pejoratively known as "fan-fiction" imagine what it would be like to meet and interact with the characters in their favorite movie, TV show, book, comic, or video game. The trap most fall into is to make their treasured character so perfect, he or she becomes a figure of fun. Hence all the other characters are in awe of Mary Sue, believing everything she says or does yet further examples of her brilliance. She's brave and never outfaced in difficult situations. On occasion, this will make her appear stubborn, but she never pays a price for failing to live up to everyone's expectations. She just wins the day (again) and goes on as if nothing untoward has happened. Fortunately, the heroine in this serial comes with warts.
Let's meet Amanda Price (Jemima Rooper) a modern fan of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. She smokes, drinks, has a lover and generally acts like a contemporary woman. Her fairly mundane life is disrupted when a doorway opens in her bathroom. Much to her surprise Elizabeth Bennet (Gemma Arterton) steps through. After some discussion, Amanda steps back through into the Bennet household, circa 1813. Even though she's not been formally introduced, she's accepted as Elizabeth's friend just as Mr Bingley (Tom Mison) arrives next door. This gives her the chance to experience Jane Austen's story from the ground up, as it were.
There are occasional moments when the humour works as our fish-out-of-water runs into mere incomprehension or actual hostility from the prevailing culture. But the jokes are repetitive. The first time our heroine blurts out some naff contemporary slang, we can smile at the incongruity. But the desperation with which jumbo jet jokes keep flying round the ballroom grows rapidly tiresome. The real problem is Guy Andrews, the scriptwriter, can't decide what point is to be made. It could be a rewrite of Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court in which satire prevails on both sides of reality to amuse and divert us. Or it could be an entirely serious affair in which a character suddenly finds herself in an incongruous position and has to decide exactly how to survive. For, make no mistake about it, if the Bennets were real, they would throw Amanda out and watch her die without contemporary money or friends to rescue her. This approach most often comes in time-travel stories like "The Man Who Came Early" by Poul Anderson where a modern man is transported back to a 10th century Viking village and quickly killed in a blood feud because he has no idea how to behave. This serial offers us an entirely contrived situation in which our heroine is allowed to rewrite the book by her inappropriate behaviour.
That said, Mr Collins (Guy Henry) is wonderfully awful and Mr Wickham (Tom Riley) is delightfully knowing and rather likeable. Mr Bingham is even more craven than anyone could have imagined and Mr Darcy (Elliot Cowan) is nicely snooty. The tendency of our heroine to drown her sorrows in too much alcohol, grab a fag when things go badly and rescue Jane Bennet with a quick paracetamol are very much of our time.
Now let's get to the meat of the problem. What's happening to the book in the "real world"? As our heroine is inserted into the story and begins to distort events, does this change all the words on the pages of already published books? Logic must be carried through. If the printed pages are not changing, why is this a purely personal experience? This is not the same question of how the exchange takes place, but limited to its consequences. To add to this problem, we then get the ultimate metafictional event. Having carried a copy of the book with her into the book, she throws it out of a window and Mr Darcy reads a part of it. He makes no mention of the fact the binding and paper quality is radically different to what would be achieved at that time. He simply accuses our hero of being Jane Austen who has apparently written a book about people without their consent. This makes absolutely no sense. Is he assuming our heroine wrote this before they met, i.e. it is fiction using their names? If so, how does it come to contain details of events only after they have met and where did she get the information about everyone's income and background history? If it was only written after their first meeting, how has the book been written, typeset using the old hot lead system, printed and distributed in mass market paperback format within the space of a few weeks? This kind of sloppy writing just annoys.
It then gets even worse as first our heroine and then Darcy cross into modern London, then pick up Elizabeth who seems to have adapted well, and all three drop back into the Bennet home. Frankly, this is growing progressively more bizarre. I was prepared to accept a random door opening between Amanda's bathroom and the Bennet home. It's just a case of the right pair of women being in the right place at the right time for it to work. But a second door opening from one of those blue portacabin loos you see on street corners into a fictional world is just too much to stomach. Just what are the rules for these portals to keep appearing? Who can use them? Does their use show up in the published book? Frankly, what little possible logic might be suggested is completely abandoned for effect. This is just treating the audience with contempt. In fact, the Bennet story had grown more interesting with Bingham spending the night with Lydia (Perdita Weeks) in the bedroom of an inn and Mr Bennet (Hugh Bonneville) injuring himself in a duel to defend his family's besmirched honour. It was all lining up to be an interesting mayhem when it all dies down. Elizabeth goes back to her new life in London (although how she will survive without a documented identity is anyone's guess), Jane (Morven Christie) will get her marriage with Mr Collins annulled and elope with Mr Bingley to America, our heroine gets Darcy but, presumably, is left to honour all the promises she made to rescue the Bennets from the entail trap, and Mr Wickham is left to pursue Caroline Bingley (Christina Cole).
So Lost in Austen ends up neither science fiction nor fantasy. Worse, it avoids any real attempt at satire. It's a weak-kneed collection of jokes that don't mesh together into a coherent narrative. Austen purists will be outraged their favourite book has been pillaged. I was deeply disappointed and not a little annoyed as the serial progressed because Guy Andrews refuses to show any logic or self-discipline in the screenplay. Frankly, I can't see anyone getting much enjoyment out of this.
May 28, 2012 at 2:42 am
Being a fan of Thursday Next, when I spotted this show on Netflix I settled down to enjoy it also, expecting a fun piece of metafiction. Unfortunately the writer/director couldn't seem to decide what he wanted out of it; the one thing that worked for me was his use of the fact that readers of Pride and Prejudice really know very little about the characters involved–they are seen only through Elizabeth Bennet's eye and she knows only what she sees herself and hears secondhand. So the people we meet are in many cases very different from the characters in the book (Mr. Wickham being the best case of this)–a very clever device. Unfortunately, this was the only thing the show really had going for it.

Best 2017 Fall Books For Women
25 Sweet, Sexy, and Captivating Books You're Going to Want to Read This Fall
Turtles All the Way Down by John Green, Out Oct. 10
With 45 million copies of his books in print, John Green needs no introduction. (But in case you're living under a rock, he wrote this mega bestseller.) He returns with Turtles All the Way Down, a book about which he says, "This is my first attempt to write directly about the kind of mental illness that has affected my life since childhood, so while the story is fictional, it is also quite personal." As if we needed a reason to get more excited about this book.

I'm just assuming that home = "somewhere near SLC", but if that assumption is correct, you're welcome to crash at our place if things get too bad. We don't have an extra bedroom, but I've slept on the sofa before and it's not bad at all. :)
If I've assumed incorrectly, and you'll be too far away for a retreat to our place to be an option, then I'll pray for you and wish you the very best of luck!

Ah... Never mind. I have learned from other sources that you intend to take some side-trips while you're home that clearly indicate that you're not going to be in our vicinity.
Therefore, best of luck and God be with you!

LOL. Yeah no.
Home, or Hell, whichever I'm using. That = Florida.
Nowhere near SLC. I *WISH*
Then I could just drive to, say, Provo, an hour away and have friends.
But no, down there, Ohio is about the closest to friends I can get...

I will pray for you too. There's always email conversations with your friends. :)

Yes. But I had those last year. They did not help to the point of survival. I also talked on the phone with a certain girl nearly every night. It is not enough when you are breaking down, and spiraling into a pit of dark apathy. But thank you for the gesture.

Colorado residents who shop at Wal-Mart may already know the store is recalling a table and chair set after it received reports of injuries. The product is a five-piece set, consisted of one card table and four chairs made by Mainstay. As with other apparent defective household products, Wal-Mart is urging consumers to stop using the recalled product immediately. Wal-Mart will issue a full refund to consumers when the product is returned.
The product is a black, padded table and chairs that sold for $50. It was sold nationwide, and nearly 73,400 of the sets are subject to this recall. The Consumer Product Safety Commission is aware of the recall.
The chairs can collapse without warning. Wal-Mart received 10 injury reports. One customer suffered a sore back, but most of the injuries were to fingers. Of the other nine injury reports, one involved a customer whose finger had to be amputated. Three other people lost fingertips, and the rest suffered from fractured or sprained fingers.
More injury reports could be received before the company is able to get all of defective household products out of circulation. Colorado residents may not realize just how much they rely on their fingers until they do not have the use of them. People are marvelously resilient and often adapt to the loss of a finger, but that does not mean they will be able to return to a normal life. Successfully pursuing a products liability claim may provide someone whose life has been disrupted by a defective product with some financial restitution not only for medical bills related to his or her injuries, but also for other damages such as pain and suffering and lost wages.

Who's The Best 'Friends' Couple?
After seasons of back and forth between the resident "will-they-won't-they" couple on Friends, the writing team made the amazing decision to matchmake two more of our favorite Friends. When Chandler and Monica got together, they were a breath of fresh air and stability after seasons of watching Rachel and Ross struggle to make it work long-term. Though I've never been able to pick a favorite Friends couple, it's certainly interesting to compare these two wonderful pairs. And what better way to compare them than in a venn diagram of Chandler and Monica's and Ross and Rachel's relationships?
Both couples were integral to Friends' success, and both couples provided balance for the other. Audiences would have had a much more difficult time having their hearts broken by the constant the back-and-forth between Ross and Rachel for ten seasons if they didn't have a more consistent couple to provide some relationship stability in the show. In a way, Monica and Chandler were kind of what we all hoped Ross and Rachel could become if they worked through their issues.
Chandler and Monica were everything that Ross and Rachel weren't, and vice versa. As such, it is nearly impossible to pick a favorite Friends couple because both duos were so different. However, they also had a few very key facets in common, and it's these commonalities that were most important. So check out this venn diagram comparing Mondler and Rossel, and allow yourself to stroll down memory lane back to the wonderful days when we first fell in love with these iconic couples.

$17 Billion Causeway Linking Hong Kong, Macau and Chinese Mainland Nears Milestone
(Beijing) — A $17 billion bridge that could charge up the Pearl River Delta economies of Hong Kong, Macau and the sleepy mainland city of Zhuhai is on track to reach a major milestone later this year, when the Hong Kong portion of the massive project is expected to be complete.
That assessment came on Thursday from officials at the Hong Kong Highways Department, who said the Hong Kong section of the bridge linking the two special administrative regions with the scenic mainland city of Zhuhai should be complete by the end of this year. That could put the complex project on track to finally open by 2020, after running years behind schedule and costing well over its original budget.
When it does open, the bridge could be a game-changer for the region, providing a key link enabling manufacturers to move to the cheaper western side of the Pearl River Delta from their current eastern-bank locations where costs are soaring in cities like Shenzhen and Dongguan. That could result in a renaissance for factories in an area that gave China its earliest moniker as "Workshop of the World."
"This is a relatively significant bridge," said Christopher Balding, an economics professor in the HSBC Business School at Peking University Shenzhen. "There are still areas where it's feasible to do low- and medium-end manufacturing in the area, but they have to be out of Shenzhen. The bridge would be a way for manufacturers to locate out of Shenzhen, and still access their suppliers."
In its latest update, the road authority said precast liner segments were nearly all in place for a tunnel that forms a key part of the Hong Kong part of the project, and that necessary connections were made to an elevated expressway at the end of March. That led officials to say that the entire 12 km Hong Kong section of the project should be linked up by the end of this month.
Upon completion, the overall project will include three lanes in either direction, spanning 55 km with a series of roads and bridges, with artificial islands constructed at its two main terminals. Construction for the project began in 2011 and carried an original price of about $10.6 billion, with a target completion date of last year. But delays and overruns have pushed its latest cost up to $17 billion or more, and an official from Guangdong province was quoted in 2015 saying even 2020 could be an optimistic opening date.
When it finally is complete, the bridge could reduce travel times between the eastern and western sides of the Pearl River Delta from as much as four hours now to as little as a half hour.
The bridge is part of a broader effort to integrate the entire Pearl River Delta area, similar to efforts now underway in the Yangtze River Delta around Shanghai and an emerging similar zone around Beijing. The planned area centered on Beijing saw a new twist last week, when the central government announced a major new urban center being set up in a three-city area known as Xiongan about 100 km south of Beijing in Hebei province.
In the Pearl River Delta, the regional integration also includes building a section of high-speed rail to link up Hong Kong with China's state-of-the-art bullet train network. It also includes a commuter-style express rail link connecting the cities of Hong Kong, Shenzhen and Guangzhou, capital of Guandong province, which is nearing completion.
Balding said the entire Pearl River Delta area that could eventually be included in an emerging South China zone is home to as many as 75 million people, bigger than most countries and roughly equivalent to the entire population of Germany.
"In reality there's a very real need to integrate all these cities," said Balding. "One of the things you do see (from Hong Kong and Macau) is an acceptance of the economics that, 'Look we're increasingly tied to the mainland economically and financially.' The softer issue is (central leaders in Beijing) want to continue to draw Hong Kong into the cultural and infrastructure orbit of the mainland. So there's hard and soft objectives they're trying to achieve here."

A Trumbull man is in custody on multiple charges following what police described as a violent sexual assault that took place in a Trumbull home during the overnight hours of July 8-9.
Richard Gray, 43, has been charged with second-degree unlawful restraint, second-degree strangulation, third-degree assault, third-degree sexual assault, second-degree threatening, interfering with a 911 call and disorderly conduct.
According to police, a female reported to investigators that Gray was angry at her and had been drinking that evening. Gray later confronted the woman and forcefully placed her in a headlock, held her down by her neck, and threatened to hit her with a bottle, she said. At one point the woman said she broke free and tried to call 911, but Gray threw her phone and it broke. Gray then picked her up and threw her into another room, where he again held her down, grabbed her by the throat and sexually assaulted her, police said.
After the attack the woman waited for an opportunity to leave the house. Once safe, she called police.
The woman was taken to a local hospital for treatment. Gray is currently held on $250,000 bond. His next court date is July 11.

Yep, as expected, the latest Hunger Games movie looks INCREDIBLE. Much to our enjoyment, the first trailer released sees Jennifer Lawrence (playing the fearless Katniss Everdeen) leading the way in a revolution against President Snow and the Capital.
The previous teaser trailer also successfully wet our appetite, with Katniss and the rest of the District 13 clan launching an assassination attempt on President Snow.
Then the second trailer, consisting of various flashbacks showing Katniss' relationship with younger sister Primrose, made for a serious tear-jerker, including some of the most poignant moments between the two.
Now, the third and final trailer of Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 has been unveiled, and boy are we excited.
Recently, Jennifer Lawrence also took to Facebook to reveal the final poster, showing Katniss in all her heroine glory complete with bow and arrow.
As for the film as a whole, Game of Thrones cast member Natalie Dormer, starring as Margaery Tyrell in the hit TV series, will also be making a return as the cunning Cressida, alongside Josh Hutcherson as Peeta and Liam Hemsworth as Gale.
Latest Stories
But while the cast may be the same, we reckon the sequel may well be a turning-point for the much-loved Panem residents. Katniss and her crew are set on one thing and one thing only: to "kill snow". And it looks like they may be in with a good chance as the trailer shows a pretty hefty number of rebels chanting: "Snow has to pay for what he's done". Go Katniss!
The film will hit screens in November, giving us a fair while to wait. We can't say we've ever actively willed along winter, but we're not sure we can wait that long.
Looks like we'll have to have a Hunger Games marathon in the meantime…

When you realise you have a hearing loss, it's quite common to pretend there isn't a problem for fear of it affecting your social life or relationships around you.
It is also common to create coping mechanisms in order to hear well every day, these can include saying pardon, removing yourself from challenging social situations or turning the volume up on the radio or TV.
When you then realise that hearing loss is common, especially when age-related and does not mean the end of your social interaction or end a chapter of your 'better hearing' life – far from it.
Actually, when you have control of your health, your hearing AND you take action to improve both, you win all round and every day life is noticeably better.
You win because you have control of the outcome and you have control of the future. Alongside your chosen hearing professional (we hope it is us at Pindrop Hearing), you will match your lifestyle needs to a hearing solution that not only sounds good but looks good too.
This is what we like to call, hearing gain. You gain a new direction in life, a stress-free hearing journey and the key to staying part of every social situation to choose to be in.

Southeast Whitesburg Mural--08 Getting the Details Down
Bricks. Lots of bricks. Tiny little bricks. I've never painted bricks before -- never. It's going to be race to see which gives out first, my back or my eyes!
On the whole I'm very pleased with todays work. Details, except in portraits, were never my strong suit. So it was hard for me to stick to working on details for five hours. No, it didn't take 5 hours just to do these bricks, there was also cement blocks, and window details, and a few other things. Oh, yes and did I mention my back hurts?
Picture above shows the bricks and other details completed today in situ.
I enhanced my "living space" on the scaffold today with a rug -- to cushion shins and knees getting up and down, to cushion feet while standing, and to make my little folding camp chair stay put. At the end of the day, I had Ron Brunty our student counselor/advisor/admissions guy take a picture of me with the scaffold.

It's been many, many years since we failed to make it to at least one Illini basketball game during the season. For me, this streak very likely goes back decades to when I was in high school. Yes, we're those kind of fans… So when I looked at the calendar today and saw that tonight's final home game against Nebraska begins at 9:00, and realizing that if I take the kids to this game they wouldn't get home until 1:00 or so, and knowing that we have our own basketball practice tonight along with the new PARCC standardized tests at school this week, well, looks like no Illinois hoops for us this year.
I suppose I could go myself, maybe try to talk my brother into going with me. Get home late and be tired tomorrow. But with his new mini-Rube at the house this probably isn't an option. It's a shame because I really have a lot of respect for our team's seniors – especially Nnnanna Egwu and Ray Rice – and would like to cheer for them in person one last time.
So how did this happen? We meant to go go to a game in December, but didn't, knew January wasn't happening due to kids' activities, and then I had penciled in MSU, Northwestern, and Nebraska at the end of the season. For those games against the Spartans and Kitties, we had winter storms – the kind you don't drive in unless you really need to. And now the ridiculously late start against the Huskers.
This won't happen next year as the team will play a few early season games in Springfield while the State Farm Center completes the next phase of renovations. Those will be easy. And maybe if a few more home games in December were against better teams, I could be enticed to make the trip, but as the kids get older and more involved, we just know it won't be as easy.
One thought on "Storms and Late Starts"
Well The Rube will tell you that there is NO excuse for ANYONE who calls their self a fan to not attend at least one game or function or something. The season stated back on November 7th! That's 4 months officially when we go to Purdue on Saturday….hmmm….maybe you could go to Purdue on Saturday….that isn't a bad drive….The Rube can't go, but I'm sure Mr. Theville can find SOMEONE to go with him?

Bad News If You Like Scented Candles
If you're a lover of scented candles, we have bad news. One of their most common perfume ingredients, limonene, may turn into carcinogens when it's floated into the air of our homes. A new study this month for the BBC by a team at the University of York highlighted what many people don't seem to realize about putting cozy candles around their home: the level of limonene, a citrus extract used in a lot of tasty-smelling candles, has a nasty tendency to turn into formaldehyde. Yes, that's the chemical they use to preserve medical specimens that can lead to respiratory problems and various types of cancer.
I'm not much of a scented candle girl, but it's fairly common to want the delightful waft of something fresh in the house, particularly in winter months, or when the cat has done something vaguely disgusting. If you're a massive fan, though, it pays to be aware of the chemical price you may be paying, and how to minimize possible damage being done by candle over-use.
So here's the real story about why scented candle chemicals should cause concern, and how you might be able to fight the side effects — and keep your lavender candles too.
The Dangerous Thing About Scented Candles
The York study outlined the basic process in which specific gorgeous candle scents turn into nasties. Limonene, the citrus extract that's used in a lot of air fresheners and candles because of its delightful scent, has an interesting chemical reaction when it's released into the air. Once it comes into contact with ozone, some of it transforms into formaldehyde in the air.
Granted, the study was tiny: it only analyzed the air quality in six houses. But the results were interesting anyway. The more limonene in the air of a house (usually because they burned lots of candles and used air fresheners), the more formaldehyde was hanging around too. If there's no limonene, you seem to face no formaldehyde risk whatsoever (though, as we'll discuss later, burning anything inside the house has its own risks).
Why Formaldehyde Is A Problem
Formaldehyde isn't just for preserving dead things in big jars. Even though that's what it's most famous for, it's actually found nowadays as a particulate, hanging around in the air. It's sometimes used in furniture, insulation, and in certain cleaning products, and has been the target of a lot of studies about its potential health effects. (It's also sometimes found in hair-straightening products, so watch out for that as well.)
Short-term exposure to high levels of formaldehyde seems to be associated with respiratory disorders, asthma, irritation of the nose, throat and eyes, and erosion of the gastrointestinal tract. Longer-term exposure, which is what we're talking about here, is also an issue. The National Cancer Institute classifies formaldehyde as a "probable human carcinogen," meaning that it raises the likelihood of developing cancer, specifically myeloid leukemia. (This is why a 2012 study that found many Californian daycares had above-legal levels of formaldehyde in their air caused such a furor.)
Are Incense Any Better?
Sorry, but we've known that incense might be a problem for even longer. A 2009 study of formaldehyde levels in indoor incense burning found that incense cones and sticks release large amounts of formaldehyde into the air; one look at temples in China in 2002 found that the level of formaldehyde and other carbonyls (compounds of oxygen and carbon) inside temples were between 11 and 23 times the amount in the air outside. Looks like they're even worse.
So, Should You Stop Burning Candles & Incense?
If all you have to live for in the winter is your pine candle, it's important not to panic. The elevated levels of formaldehyde from candles are less than habitual incense-burning (open a window when you do that), and scientists are still defining the full extent of its health risks. It's also part of a spectrum of health warnings about burning things of any kind inside: indoor wood fires, for example, come in for criticism if they're not done properly, as they can expose everybody to fine particle pollution and its respiratory health risks. And candles of any kind are linked to lowering air quality indoors.
It does seem pretty concrete, though, that the limonene in certain scented candles may be irritating your airways and making things worse, so if you want to continue burning candles, at least look for some without that perfume.
How To Minimize Potential Candle Damage
Besides looking for candles without limonene, you might want to get some house plants. The York scientists conducted another experiment alongside the limonene-formaldehyde one. They put house plants in the candle-burning houses, and discovered something interesting: while levels of limonene didn't go down, levels of formaldehyde did.
The specific types of plants seem to have mattered. The researchers chose spider plants, dragon tree, golden pothos, and English ivy, all of which have a scientific track record of improving indoor air quality. LiveScience has a more comprehensive list of all the most effective plants for cleaning volatile compounds like formaldehyde out of your air, including peace lilies, purple waffle plants, and aloe vera.
Another important strategy has to be pointed out: opening your windows. While it doesn't seem like a particularly good idea during winter, brief ventilation likely helps a great deal for dispelling formaldehyde, even though studies haven't given us definitive numbers about it. The legal U.S. limit for formaldehyde in the air over an eight-hour day is 0.75 parts per million, and 0.1 to zero is the best. Nobody is suggesting outright banning candles, but it's incredibly important that you keep your house ventilated and have formaldehyde-sucking plants if you love to light scented ones.
So if you really can't live without your candle while you meditate, look for some without limonene, get yourself some NASA-approved plants to soak the air, and crack a window afterwards.

The Brand New Monty Python Papperbok
Author(s): GRAHAM CHAPMAN
October 2019 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the first broadcast of Monty Python's Flying Circus on BBC Television. Back by popular demand... The extraordinary comic genius of Monty Python is on full display in this humour classic. One of the most original and ground-breaking humour classics of all time, the Papperbok was compiled for Methuen in the early-1970s by the young Monty Python team at the height of their creative powers, and was published on the heels of the improbable success of the Monty Python's Flying Circus television series. A surreal delight, the Papperbok broke the mould for tie-in books, and was a testing ground for ideas equally as fresh and funny as the Flying Circus material. It is full of colourful and rude illustrations by Terry Gilliam, odd-ball instruction sheets, cod schoolboy stories about adventure and mischief, misleading horoscopes, informative and thrilling features such as 'Hamster: A Warning', 'The Python Book of Etiquette', and 'The London Casebook of Detective René Descartes', zany competitions, fake editorials, spurious film reviews, and some of the oddest miscellany ever pressed between the pages of a book. Monty Python Graham Chapman's education and vocational training occurred variously in such places as the Midlands, Eton, the University of Cambridge, St Swithin's Hospital, on tour in a revue with John Cleese in New Zealand and on the island of Ibiza with David Frost. He was the author of A Liar's Autobiography and he also wrote for Monty Python's Flying Circus and the TV show Doctor in the House. Graham Chapman died in 1989. John Cleese was educated at the University of Cambridge where he performed in Footlights and then went to work in London as a performer and as a comedy writer for the BBC. Besides his work with Python he is best known for his TV series Fawlty Towers (co-written with Connie Booth), the books he has written with psychologist Robin Skinner and films such as Clockwise, A Fish Called Wanda and Fierce Creatures. Eric Idle was educated at the University of Cambridge where he joined the Footlights Club becoming president of the club in 1965. He created and acted in The Rutles and has appeared in numerous films including The Adventures of Baron Munchausen and wrote the book, and co-wrote the lyrics, for the award-winning musical Spamalot (based on Monty Python & The Holy Grail). Educated at the University of Oxford, Terry Jones worked in theatre, and wrote revues and scripts for the BBC before becoming one of the creators of Monty Python. He has written many books for children and is also the author (with other scholars) of Who Murdered Chaucer? and a study of Chaucer's Knight. He has directed such films as Personal Services, Erik the Viking and The Wind in the Willows, along with all the Python films. Michael Palin was born in Sheffield in 1943 and lives with his wife Helen in North London. His adventures around the world have been huge bestsellers. His books (all of which have accompanied his documentaries for the BBC) include Around the World in 80 Days, Pole to Pole, Full Circle, Sahara and Himalaya. His films have included The Missionary and A Private Function. As part of the Monty Python team, Terry Gilliam produced the series' bizarre animations as well as performing. His subsequent career has encompassed animation and film-making, and he has directed films including The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, Brazil, Twelve Monkeys and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

Kim Zolciak Undergoes Heart Surgery After Scary Mini-Stroke: Is She Okay?
So scary! Kim Zolciak has undergone heart surgery following the terrifying stroke she suffered in September. Is she doing okay? Here is what we know so far.
Kim Zolciak is so brave! The 37-year-old is, thankfully, recovering well, following a heart surgery some time earlier this week. The former Dancing With the Stars competitor took to Instagram on Oct. 27 to let her fans know that she is doing just fine, post-operation. The surgery comes just over a month after the mother-of-five suffered a stroke on Sept. 22, which caused her to temporarily lose the ability to speak. We have all the info on Kim's condition and her recovery.
Kim shared a photo of herself in a hospital bed, informing everyone that her operation went smoothly. "My heart surgery was a success!!" she wrote, using the heart emoji instead of the actual word (naturally). "I can't wait to be back on my feet 100%! Glad it's over! Quite the whirlwind this last month has been…but such a blessing too," she added. See the full post below!
Kim, of course, adorned the pic with the appropriate hashtags, #MyFamilyHasBeenAmazing #TheFalconsHaveBeenSupportive #GodIsIncredible #Blessed #Grateful #ThankYouToMyDosctorsAndNurses #AmazingTeam
Kim's hubby, Kroy Biermann, 30, is a defensive player for the Atlanta Falcons, which explains that "supportive Falcons" hashtag!
For those who don't remember the scary details of Kim's medical crisis, she had been competing on DWTS when she took a redeye flight home from Los Angeles to Atlanta following the Sept. 22 live performance show. She then suffered a stroke, causing her to temporarily lose feeling in her left side, as well as the ability to speak. She announced in an interview on Oct. 8 that doctors discovered a hole in her heart, for which she would need surgery.
Luckily, it seems that Kim is slowly but surely making her way towards a full recovery. Sadly, though, she did have to withdraw from the Dancing competition and was disqualified, but the fiery blonde swears she will make a triumphant return!

While income inequality is not something I particularly worry about, believing that the labor market is more or less fairly compensating workers for their respective productivity, I do care if policy makers take actions that single out certain groups for special benefits. In a perfect example of such economic meddling, the Federal Reserve's approximately zero interest rate policy is causing many problems in the economy, one of which is that it is making wealth inequality worse. Here is how the Fed is widening the wealth gap.
It is a commonly held belief that the Fed's low interest rates have been responsible for inflating stock market values. Because people with more wealth tend to own more stock, to the extent that the Fed has been the cause of higher stock prices, it has worsened wealth inequality. Similarly, low interest rates have meant low borrowing costs for large corporations with direct access to capital markets (through corporate bonds). This cheap money helps to boost corporate profits which, again, flow mostly to the wealthy.
The above two wealth inequality-increasing impacts of low interest rates are rather tricky to quantify. Most economists agree that they are happening, but the exact size of the effect is uncertain. However, there is another manner in which low interest rates have increased wealth inequality that has been much less reported on even though it is much simpler to see. Low interest rates have benefited richer individual borrowers much more than poorer borrowers.
Poorer individual, with less in the way of cash and other assets available to them in emergencies, tend to be heavier users of credit cards for borrowing. In other words, they are more likely to carry a balance on their credit cards. Unfortunately for these poorer borrowers, average credit card interest rates have only dropped about 1.5 percentage points (from about 14.5 to 13 percent) in spite of the Fed's zero interest rate policy (historical data here and current rates here).
That means poorer borrowers are saving about ten percent on their interest expense. On the average credit card balance of about $15,000 that would be around $230 per year or $20 per month. Even a poor person deep in credit card debt would have a hard time saving $100 per month since that would necessitate a balance of $80,000.
For wealthier individuals, mortgage debt is the predominant source of borrowing, not credit cards. From the beginning of the recession and the Fed's many moves to lower interest rates, mortgage rates have fallen by about 2.5 percentage points (say, from 6.5 to 4.0 percent for the 30 year fixed rate mortgage). That is close to a forty percent decline, much larger than the ten percent drop in credit card rates. Thus, wealthy borrowers have seen a much larger percentage decline in their borrowing costs.
Further, the wealthier you are, the more you are likely to borrow (until one gets very, very wealthy), because banks will lend you more and because you are likely to buy an expensive house and want to milk the tax advantages of a large mortgage. With today's low interest rates, a wealthy family with a $300,000 mortgage could be saving $7,500 per year in mortgage interest or over $600 per month. Some wealthy families have much bigger mortgages than that, so the Fed-driven savings to the wealthy could be even larger. Since the wealthy save more from low interest rates than the poor, the Fed's interest rate policy is making wealth inequality worse.
The artificially low interest rates engineered by the Federal Reserve are suspected of having contributed to higher asset prices in many markets, such as stocks and commodities. Further, such extremely low rates lead to the misallocation of capital with investments made that would not be undertaken in conditions with a more normal cost of capital.
These two problems with zero interest rates have been raised by voices on the right. Having pointed out that the Fed's policies are also increasing wealth inequality, perhaps now voices on the left will join in calls for the Fed to regularize interest rates and return the economy to a more normal condition.

More. Thoughts are stuck in my mind that must be let out.
The following is a warning, a disclaimer:
I have studied the nature of life and found her to be fickle and untrustworthy. The only way to quiet her is to follow her every whim. To live, it seems, is to become one with subservience.
When trapped between the tongue and palate of her most vile schemes, the only thing to do is to preoccupy oneself with the quest for happiness.
I will travel to the depths of existence for this. But, if I reach the bottom without first finding it, then I will make sure that I scream the loudest on the way down.
If at any time the sound becomes too harsh and grating, feel free to cover your ears.
