Excellent Customer Service
Posted Mar 2, 2017
Pros: The staff, the room was very clean and the bed was comfortable.
Cons: The only reason that I gave them 3 Stars on Hotel facilities was because Parking was not included and was expensive at $35 per night.
This was my first time in Baltimore so I had no clue what to expect, however, I was really surprised at how beautiful the Hotel was and how friendly the Hotel staff was

Business trip
Posted Feb 23, 2017The front desk was the single best thing. The gift shop employees were rude and acted as if they'd rather be napping than actually engaging with customers. Housekeeping NEVER cleaned my room and I was there for 3 nights. I always had to stop them in the hall and get extra towels or have the trash emptied. I'd leave my room at 8:00am and return around 5 or 6:00pm and no one had come by! Absolutely ridiculous in a Hilton branded property. It was close to inner harbor and shops/dining.

Nice Location
Posted Feb 7, 2017
Pros: Check in was fast and the restaurants on site were really good. Chilli in the tavern was great. Concierge was very accommodating.
Cons: There is no shuttle service provided by the hotel. Would be nice to see some downtown locations serviced.
Location: Bertha's Muscles are a must. Phillips oysters 6 for 5 bucks. Can't Go wrong. Mo's crabcakes are the best that we found in town.
The hotel is close to the light rail and the waterfront not to mention the ball parks. We had problems with the plumbing and had to change rooms, but it all worked out in the end. View of the waterfront was great.

Unexpected surprises
Posted Feb 5, 2017Pull up at hotel very nice and clean. Among checking in we assume parking was free assuming the price of our stay. Got to room no microwave/refrigerator wow not the Hilton I said... Guess not in all rooms but it should. We park in parking garage and among leaving out for a bite to eat we couldn't leave. guy came out and said we need a $30 day by day ticket. What... the front desk haven't mentioned that, now that's crazy. Had to repark car find a front desk parking Clark and pay 30 bucks so we could come and go. Now that's ridiculous

Expedia's 3 piece package deal
Posted Jan 30, 2017I booked a weekend getaway to Baltimore for my son's surprise 35th birthday celebration. When the Hilton Baltimore appeared on the list as an available 5-star hotel option, I was excited. I was just as excited to see the price I would be paying per night. I thought to myself, "what a great deal!" Upon check-in, the first thing I noticed about the room was the soiled and tattered carpeting. The next thing I noticed was the lack of dusting in the room as everything was covered in dust. I also noticed peeling plaster from the wall and scratches, marks on the wall, and a frayed bedding mattress cover at the bottom of the mattress. The furnishings were also scratched and or damaged to some degree. I thought to myself, "but, this is the Hilton!" I also wondered whether or not that particular room, 812, had been reserved for customers who booked 3-piece deals through Expedia. I could not help but also think what better deal I could have gotten at a three-star hotel for the amount that I paid for the room at the Hilton. Because my stay was only for 2 nights, I didn't make a big deal about the condition of the room. However, in the future, if ever I stay at the Hilton, through an Expedia 3-piece deal, I will be certain to inform management of any deficiencies, if they exist. I think that because it is the Hilton, extreme care and caution should be taken when preparing all of the rooms, not just the Suites and VIP rooms.

According to my handy-dandy dictionary phone app, serenity is "the state of being calm, peaceful, tranquil, unruffled." It is a freedom of the mind from "annoyance, distraction, anxiety, obsession."
This is totally you in your daily homeschool life, right?!?
There may have been a bit of sarcasm there. I know when my child still wasn't reading at nearly nine years old, I didn't feel particularly calm. The fact that he's currently a grade and a half behind the rest of his studies in math…does not leave me feeling tranquil.
But, those are momentary emotions, and those emotions do not speak to the longterm truth of homeschooling: Homeschooling allows your child to complete his education where and when he or she is ready — not when the public or private school system dictates, not when Aunt Betty thinks it should be done, not even where any of your own preconceived hopes and plans have placed him. And, that is what brings the homeschool mom or dad the fruit of serenity.
This has been on my mind a lot the last couple months since my son hit his teens. In the elementary years, it seemed we had forever. Now that he's a teen, I've had to remind myself that we still have as long as it takes.
As your child enters or nears the high school years, there is serenity, peace, to be obtained in remembering that homeschooling has so many more options than most of us grew up with in a school system.
Maybe your kid will be the one who homeschools all the way through high school, and completes it with a homeschool transcript, and takes the tests necessary to head into college. That seems like the preferred path to most of us, but don't get nervous if you're not sure your child is cut out for that. There are other avenues.
If he wants to try out an Adventist academy, he can. Many academies would be happy to work with you to integrate your child into their system. If that works out, super! But, here is the serenity of homeschooling again: If it does not work out, if for any reason your child does not flourish in that setting, all he needs to do is come back to homeschooling. There is no success or failure here; there is merely the option of a different path.
Another opportunity might be junior college. She may have finished her freshman and sophomore classes, but is becoming dissatisfied and anxious to "get on with life." Numerous homeschoolers make it to about 16 years of age, and then decide to just morph into junior college. They may live in a place where they can get dual credit, or they might eventually have to take a GED, but at least they can get a headstart on college. Likewise, your child may not be headed for a four-year degree, but they might want to pick up some classes at the junior college to enhance their personal business plans.
If they're of a more technical bent, they could instead look into the requirements for getting into trade school. Opportunities are endless. Sometimes those of us who took the college route get stymied thinking "whatever could my child do(?!?)" if they don't have a desire for college. There is so much out there. I'm going to list a bunch here that helped open my brain's horizons: web developer, electrician, plumber, health field technician, commercial driver, HVAC tech, heavy equipment operator, licensed practical or vocational nurse, medical laboratory tech, computer programmer, non-airline commercial pilot, network systems administrator, animator, electrical engineering tech, first responder like police officer or fireman or EMT, aircraft mechanic, architectural drafter, graphic designer, diesel mechanic, and probably many more than I could think of. Most of those require two years or less of training, and offer quite decent income.
What about manual labor? Sabbath work requirements are often a fear, but there are jobs to be had where they are willing to work with your Sabbath-off needs, or even where they don't usually work weekends. Here's another list of possible jobs or areas for the child who needs to move or craft to be happy: track switch repairman (here's an example of easy Sabbaths off, as railroad jobs often have weekends off), machinist, petroleum pump system operator, concrete, plant operator, construction, key holder, brick and stone mason, cleanup, iron worker, welding, and more.
Did you just read those last two paragraphs and think they mostly applied to boys? Nope. There are opportunities for your girls, too. Check out these articles to see how women are flourishing in nontraditional trades.
- Best Careers for Women: Unconventional Jobs That Pay Well
- Residential Service Careers are a Great Choice for Many Women
- Women in the Skilled Trades
I don't know what my child will decide to do. He's not very hip on college right now, but that could change. He might decide to take some basic business classes and operate his own business. He's a bit of a geek, so I don't see him spending a lifetime on the construction scaffold, but on the other hand, he might spend summers learning masonry from his dad, and have a needed skill to fall back on no matter what his final career choice is. Or, he might decide to become an engineer or some other school-centric profession, and just take as long to get there as he needs — which could be extensive if current math efforts are indicative. LOL.
There's no rule that your child needs to finish high school at 17…or 18…or 19…or 20…or period. The serenity fruit of homeschooling comes from knowing that we are allowing our kids to take the path that will best fit their God-given talents and abilities, even if it's not the path we envisioned.
"You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you," Isaiah 26:3 NIV.
"The Holy Spirit produces a different kind of fruit: unconditional love, joy, peace, patience, kindheartedness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. You won't find any law opposed to fruit like this," Galatians 5:22,23 VOICE.

This miniature was released in November 2012. It was March 2012's winning idea in the Fellowship Club.
According to Tom Bombadil, he found her long ago by the pool where he gathers water-lilies from the Withywindle river. The races of Tom Bombadil and Goldberry are not known though Goldberry is said to be the daughter of the River-woman. Her voice is beautiful, "as young and as ancient as spring," like the song of a glad water flowing down into the night from a bright morning in the hills." She has long blonde hair, and when Frodo Baggins, Meriadoc Brandybuck, Peregrin Took, and Sam Gamgee first see her, she is wearing a green dress shot with silver and a gold belt. Wide vessels of green and brown earthenware hold floating water-lilies so she seems to be enthroned in the middle of a pool.
This miniature is aimed to depict Goldberry in the river, water up to knee, raising her skirt with one hand. She is bending over the river flow and touches the surface with the other hand. While the river is not present, any diorama builder can easily add this figure into such a scenario.

The British Antarctic Survey has collected an important and long-term series of Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) data at Rothera research station covering the Southern Ocean, Antarctic Peninsula and coast of West Antarctica, from February 1993 to date. These data are valuable in studies of climate change, the effect of sea-surface temperature (SST) variability on Southern Ocean ecosystems, iceberg tracking and weather systems, but previously were not easily available to the UK environmental science community.
This project has transferred a copy of the archive to the NERC Earth Observation Data Acquisition and Analysis Service (NEODAAS), where existing systems have been extended to generate a complete scientific data set of polar products at full 1.1 km spatial resolution. Products include SST, brightness temperature, visible reflectance and cloud mask.
All raw and processed data have been catalogued using standards-compliant metadata for searching at the NERC Earth Observation Data Centre website: this assists access via the NERC DataGrid.
ARIES (Antarctic Reception of Imagery for Environmental Studies) is based on a receiver for the NOAA High Resolution Picture Transmission (HRPT) data stream from the NOAA series of polar orbiting weather satellites.

Along the shores of Lake Erie, residents and visitors in Lackawanna are just a stone's throw from Buffalo -- about 5 miles. They have advantages when it comes to carnivals. They only have to wait three weeks into each new year before enjoying their first carnival, the Buffalo & Erie County Historical Society's Winter Carnival. A month later comes the Buffalo Powder Keg Winter Festival, and with the arrival of summer comes the Juneteenth Festival, then the Erie County Fair opens two months later. The following month everyone can celebrate the beauty of fall with the Quaker Arts Festival.
Buffalo Winter Carnival
The Buffalo & Erie County Historical Society's all-age, indoor/outdoor Winter Carnival (buffalohistory.org) usually takes place on every third Sunday of January from 1 to 4 p.m. Both indoor and outdoor activities are available. They include face painting, arts and crafts, scavenger hunts, music, locally made baked goods, and free hot chocolate. Outside, all can go snowshoeing, sledding, snowman building, and watch Iroquois winter-game demonstrations.
Powder Keg Winter Festival
The motto of the Buffalo Powder Keg Festival (nfta.com) is, "We don't fear winter. We revel in it. We wear the snow belt like a badge of honor!" Its purpose is to bring the extended local community together and help put the area's notorious winter in the national spotlight for the right reasons -- emphasizing that, "This is a fun place to live and visit." This festival takes place during the last week of February with activities that include snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, tubing, a Guinness Book-winning Ice maze, horse & carriage rides, giant seesaws, snow volleyball, broomball, soccer, sled racing and snow kite surfing, plus food, hot cider, hot chocolate and beer. The Festival culminates with a fireworks display.
Juneteenth Festival
Initiated in 1976 as a "culturally relevant alternative to the country's Bicentennial Celebration," the Juneteenth Festival (juneteenthofbuffalo.com) has a mission to promote and preserve the broad African-American heritage through cultural and educational activities to benefit the overall community. Occurring third week of June, at this event -- the third-largest Juneteenth Festival in the country -- entertainment and festivity are abundant, with murals being painted and vendors setting up booths to sell ethnic foods and wares.
Erie County Fair
Founded in 1819, the Erie County Fair (ecfair.com) has grown to become a 12-day event held each August with fairgrounds spanning 275 acres. The nation's third-largest county fair takes place during the second and third weeks of August. Its attendance each year tops 1,000,000. Attractions include agricultural exhibits and competitions, top-name music concerts, demolition derby, talent contest and Native beadwork competition. The Midway, a standalone carnival itself, has been staged by James E. Strates Shows, arriving every year by train since 1924 and featuring 70 rides and 100 games.
Quaker Arts Festival
This festival displays the art of more than 300 artists and craftsmen exhibiting their best and most-creative work, competing in this juried show for more than $10,000 in prize money. Started in 1961, the Quaker Arts Festival (opjaycees.com) features fine art, graphics, photography, sculpture, ceramic/pottery, fiber, leather, floral design, glass, jewelry, mixed media and woodworking. It takes place during the third weekend of September and annually attracts more than 50,000 attendees, becoming the largest suburban arts festival in western New York.

What could you buy with $1.4 billion?
August 8, 2016
As the race for the White House heats up in the wake of the conventions, candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are raising more money than ever. The Clinton campaign recently announced it raised nearly $90 million in July, while the Trump campaign trailed only slightly behind at $80 million. But this is just a small fraction of the total money raised by the candidates and their campaigns. Including money raked in by super PACs, the total amount of money raised this election season is $1.39 billion. What could you buy with that much money? We crunched the numbers.

The role of first spouses at political conventions
July 27, 2016
During his primetime address at the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday, Former President Bill Clinton became the first person in political convention history to audition for a very specific role: First Gentleman of the United States -- or "first dude," as Hillary Clinton is reportedly partial to. Last week, Melania Trump took the Republican Convention stage with a similar goal of personalizing her spouse, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. But as a potential first lady, Melania had more examples to draw on for inspiration for her speech than Bill did, but surprisingly the precedent of presidential spouses addressing political conventions goes back less than a century.

With Debbie Wasserman Shultz resigning, how Democrats will pick a new leader
July 26, 2016
Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz is stepping down at the conclusion of her party's convention on Friday amid a brewing email controversy. The move comes after Wikileaks published hacked DNC emails that showed party officials had tried to sabotage Bernie Sanders' bid for the party's nomination. DNC Vice Chair Donna Brazile will step in as interim chairwoman replacing the Florida congresswoman who is facing a primary challenge by a Sanders-backed candidate later this summer. But what happens next at the DNC? We look at how Democrats choose a new leader.

My dream home...
Now all I have to do is get Trina Turk to move out :)
These amazing photos are taken by Bonnie Tsang for Matchbook Magazine.
4 comments:
That's a lovely home! I really like the idea of glass walls because it gives me a philosophical thought about transparency and isolation. The furniture artistically matched one another, and its colorful coordination creates a vibrant ambiance; A very chic-shabby. It reminds me of my sister-in-law's apartment. Levi Ervin
ReplyDeleteWow! Your dream home looks fantastic! Your outdoor area is warm and relaxing. You look ready for summer on the last photo, huh? Hehe! Well, the rest of the house looks great. I want to have a glimpse of the bedrooms though as I'm sure it is something worthy to look at! :')
Nannie Toller.Your dream home is beautiful, Kendall! Why not work on acquiring it by now? You can get it with the help of home loans and and choosing mortgage lenders who will put your best interest in mind. =) YourArizonaMortgageExpert.com

Those would be the parts that are ignored when the real calender catches up with Star Treks continuity. Not always, but most of the time. You know, like I said in my second paragraph.
You seem to have missed the point of my post especially since you only quoted part of it which means you've got it out of context. But oh well, thanks for playing.
When you can travel faster than light to another star with forcefields surrounding your ship, and destroy an asteroid with a death ray, please come back and beam into my living room, or call me on a cell phone from the other side of earth without benefit of cell towers or satellites, and then tell me Star Trek is out of date.
Trek's datedness is part of it's charm, IMO. It won't be ruined by warp speed being invented tomorrow or aliens coming down from space any more than it was when Khan never took over in the 90's, or when someone somewhere first realized that there's no way aliens are all going to be humans with a few pointless forehead bumps. It's FUN before future history!
Nothing wrong with moving the setting forward IMO. The tech can be adjusted and explained properly so that it doesn't seem like magic. Plus a large chunk of the fanbase wants to know what happens in the original universe's time line. There's also the issue with the writing staff relying on way too much technobabble since the start of TNG. Babylon 5 along with most Japanese Sci-Fi Anime are generally technobabble light with solutions based on practical / logical things that people can do. Babylon 5 didn't have plots focusing on Tech failing. Another thing the writers need to avoid. Alot of the drama can be done with out reliance on Trek Tech to explain / fail / deus ex machina their way through the plot.
Forget the tech, what dates Star Trek are the cultural and social norms that are revealed by viewing - each series (as it should be) tells us about the time it was made not the future. Having said that - if you do consider the tech, Star Trek is a very 1950s view of the future even in its most recent versions include the latest film series.
I would have no problem seeing re-imaginings of any of the TOS eps. 2009 Trek passed the 'Shakespeare Test' for me... As for the spirit of the OP...I don't know...I'm still waiting for my flying car and jetpack.
Did Shakespeare have to adapt and change???? Of course it did. No one would go see a bunch of men in dresses, absolutely 1600's period, SHOUTING all their lines for four hours.
I won't see Star Trek as outdated tech wise until we start building anti-matter powered interstellar starships with FTL, artificial gravity, and deflector shields. As for cell phones can your cell phone use supspace to contact a ship in orbit without the aid of a tower? Modern tech might have some things beat in the looks department however.
People do still read old science fiction films and novels. Usually, they do it after they've explored and gotten bored with modern ones. Although instead of a rebooted Star Trek universe with the original principles and modern sheer, I'd rather see a completely new universe with the original principles. Or, heck, just have a show that's set in the same universe but not in the Milky Way galaxy. You can do whatever you want, have things look however you want, and then maybe later in the series when races like humans and klingons show up somewhere it can be an exciting surprise.
One thing I was thinking about at work today (as opposed to, you know, focusing on my job - we all do this, right?): A lot of modern television sci-fi seems to be of what I'd call the 'Buffy school' of show formats. No disrepect to Buffy, a show I loved back in the day. But it seems to have had a massive cultural impact. Most every 'genre' series these days is of that type, that kind of "Supernatural themes in a modern day Earth setting" format. I could only think of two traditionally Star Trekky-type "ships in space" shows in the last few years, those being nuBSG and Firefly. Even Doctor Who, admittedly a series which always skewed close to Earth anyway, is far less inclined to focus itself on far-away planets or spaceships. As a genre, science fiction has become much more grounded than it used to be. Is there a reason for this? Is it cheaper to film when all your locations can be found in real life, instead of having to build elaborate sets? Is Star Trek's format outmoded, as far as television is concerned? (There's obviously room for it on the movie screen). Or would it, in theory, stand out better now than it ever did before, as 'something different' in the context of (what seems to me) to be a fairly bland genre as far as televison goes at the moment?
Lance, for what it's worth, the Space Opera sub-genre of science fiction has always been a niche. It's hardly the sci-fi default or something. Not even in literature. During all the running time of all the Trek series, there have been lowly Earth-based series running alongside them. Some pretty good ones too. They're not some new trend. Keep in mind that it's only been a few years (2011) since the last spaceship drama was on air. Prior to that, they'd been running them continuously since TNG. Rumors of the death of space opera have been greatly exaggerated. Also, "only" Firefly and BSG? Exactly how many space shows do you think should be on in a given time period? They may not be "outmoded" as you've posited, but they've certainly never been cop-drama ubiquitous. They're a very particular sub-genre of genre television. It's like complaining that there aren't enough vampire shows (there are 3, FWIW).
Personally I can't focus on my job without being just a little bit distracted. I think part of the problem is that the sort of people who want to watch space operas are the same sort of people who download everything. So there's less profit in making stuff for us. And I think people are totally open to shows set in the future, but they don't want to feel preached at.
That's true, if by this you mean that there has always been plenty of science fiction that's not space opera. However, at least since Star Wars, it's hard for me to reconcile the pervasiveness of space opera in media with the connotation that a niche market be specialized and not mainstream. I still agree with your main point that it is incorrect to expect science fiction to be space opera, whether in literature or on TV. I recently did a re-watch of most of The Prisoner and was deeply moved and totally blown away.
It's true space opera has always been a niche in the scifi crowd, but it's the only niche capable of getting a mainstream crossover audience.
What about when we discover that you can't travel faster than light (you know, like now)? Or that a human/alien hybrid is just silly (again, like now)? Or that turning someone into energy in order to reassemble them someplace else would just create a big BOOM (once again, like now)? Leave Trek be what it is. If we require something to replace it let's have something new, like Roddenberry did back in the 60's.
Well, it likely serves as some type of antenna since not to many unexplored worlds have cell phone towers.

Orthopedic Associates will open new surgery center in Honolulu
Orthopedic Associates, which moved from an office at The Queen's Medical Center into bigger digs at Hale Pawaa six months ago, is expanding again within the Honolulu medical office building at 1401 S. Beretania St.
The orthopedic clinic is opening a 9,200-square-foot surgery center on the sixth floor at the end of February, one floor below its 30,000-square-foot center. The new surgery center, called Minimally Invasive Surgery Hawaii, will be staffed by the seven physicians who run Orthopedic Associates upstairs, according to Administrator Kea Kometani.
"At the facility, we will be doing outpatient procedures, things like shoulder surgery, knee surgery," he said. "We also have three hand doctors on staff who can do carpal tunnel-related surgeries."
The new center has three operating rooms, and the clinic is recruiting nurses and surgical technicians. Orthopedic Associates has approximately 40 employees.
The first surgery is booked for Feb. 25, but it will be a slow opening as the center works through various regulatory requirements.
"We have been working on the surgery center for a while, but there are a lot of regulations and things you have to get licensed through the state and federal government," Kometani said. "Right now, we won't be able to see everyone yet as we have to pass our Medicare inspection and are still in negotiations with private insurance companies, but we will be starting off with workers' compensation patients."
Orthopedic Associates is located in Suite 750 of the Hale Pawaa building; its new Minimally Invasive Surgery Hawaii center is located in Suite 600.

I discovered last night that my son has head lice. He is 15. I don't know where he caught it from, it could've been anywhere. Anyway, I don't deal with things like that on a regular bais, so I don't know. We treated his head and picked through it with the little comb. There was maybe 20 bugs and about 50 eggs. I have been panicking and washing everything in sight! And spraying! I hope it's taken care of! Ick!!! Now I am paranoid that we will still find some!

DU Tiny Fundraiser: Weirdo Sega And Konami Boards
Sorry that the last fundraiser dump is not released yet but Shoutime's programmer that can do the bproms is broken and he hasn't sorted his equipment out. I need help with some inexpensive weirdo boards that go to, I'm guessing, odd stuff like mechanical games. It could be for some of them that all we can do is emulate the sound, but we're talking Konami and Sega so at least to me and some others, still interesting. If I get donations I'll personally hound Belmont for a new M1 including them until he caves in or loses his sanity so how can you lose? I've already bought one of them and Charles has bought one and trap15 got an NMK one. The seller isn't responding to requests for combined shipping (he might not even understand what I'm asking) and I'd rather just gobble them all up quickly before anyone else gets them so if this sounds interesting click below.
Update: At this point we have another Sega one picked up by someone who is MAME and DU friendly and thanks to Surgeville and Paul Vining I picked up a Konami one.

Progetto-SNAPS 0.183 Update
Ready the MAME 0.183 update of "MAME progetto-SNAPS".
Also this month, as the previous ones, is available this folder on Mega.co.nz that allows individually download files to update from version to version. The folder will be temporarily available until the next update.
This month there is a great update of Marquees collection, with hundreds of arcade games pictures, with a higher resolution (at least 1200px). I also started to update the backglass images of pinball, even these in high resolution. This work will continue in the coming months.
Also about the Icons has done a great job; 1,485 icons pertaining to the Devices have been replaced with other generated from real images. All arcade games have its own icon; still lacking to do 88 "ex-MESS" machines.
I get update also Artwork, with new packages in the sub-categories "Alternate" and "WideScreen".
Because now the snap collections for HBMAME are complete, I removed the images of BIOS.
Even with regard to resources for software lists have been added many new resources (1,506); some lists are new (aim65_cart and coco_cart), other update (cpc_cass, cpc_flop, megadriv, n64, neogeo, saturn, segacd and sms) and others have been added the missing categories (atom_rom_manuals, aim65_cart_manuals, megadriv_covers, megadriv_manuals, megadriv_video, saturn_covers, saturn_manuals, segacd_covers, segacd_manuals and sms_titles).

In the United States are preparing for the occupation on Wall Street, have already reached over 10,000 accessions. All other countries, both Europe and other continents, are preparing to do likewise, to fight against the dictatorship of the banks that now make the law of all governments worldwide.
As a result of what is happening in Italy, where the scholarship is subject to speculation, more than ever a few, let's bring our protest.
Come along!
September 17th: Is America Ripe for a Tahrir Moment?#occupywallstreet
Alright you redeemers, rebels, radicals and utopian dreamers out there,
A worldwide shift in revolutionary tactics is underway right now that bodes well for the future. The spirit of this fresh tactic, a fusion of Tahrir with the acampadas of Spain, is captured in this quote:
The antiglobalization movement was the first step on the road. Back then our model was to attack the system like a pack of wolves. There was an alpha male, a wolf who led the pack, and those who followed behind. Now the model has evolved. Today we are one big swarm of people.
— Raimundo Viejo, Pompeu Fabra University, Barcelona, Spain
The beauty of this new formula, and what makes this novel tactic exciting, is its pragmatic simplicity: we talk to each other in various physical gatherings and virtual people's assemblies … we zero in on what our one demand will be, a demand that awakens the imagination and, if achieved, would propel us toward the radical democracy of the future … and then we go out and seize a square of singular symbolic significance and put our asses on the line to make it happen.
On September 17, we want to see 20,000 people flood into lower Manhattan, set up tents, kitchens, peaceful barricades and occupy Wall Street for a few months. Once there, we shall incessantly repeat our one simple demand until Barack Obama capitulates.
for the wild,

US Day of Rage San Francisco #sept17 2p 555 California St #usdor #usdorCA #occupywallstreet @usdayofrageCA
Sept 17 at 2:00 PM we plan to gather outside 555 California St. in San Francisco. It is near a BART station for mass public transit. Montgomery St. is called the Wall St. of the West and the building, formerly called the Bank of America Center, is located nearby to Montgomery St. and currently houses Bank of America, Goldman Sachs and other financial clients as tenants. The tenants of the building and the name "Wall St. of the West" is fitting to show our solidarity with the #OccupyWallStreet crowd in NYC.
US Day of Rage Los Angeles Sept 17 2pm Olvera St. #usdorLosA #usdor #sept17 #occupywallstreet @usdayofrageLosA
Sept 17 at 2:00 PM we plan to gather at Olvera St. aka "La Placita Olvera" to many Angelenos.
It is conveniently located next to Union Station for mass public transit in LA. Planning for a weekend long gathering unless large numbers show up, in which case we plan to camp as long as possible so people should come prepared with tents, water, a backpack etc. and plan for a long gathering. While the financial district may have been more symbolic to our solidarity with the #OccupyWallStreet Movement the financial district is not as publicly open as Olvera St. nor is it as easy to get there with mass transit for most people coming from SD, Ventura, etc.
Madrid joins '#Antibanks action' on September 17th, support to #Occupywallstreet
Published by the Economics Working Group of Madrid at TomaLaPlaza.net
The Economics Working Group of SOL (Madrid) in support to the initiative "Occupy WALL STREET" promoted by various associations and movements in the United States who have decided to camp out in front of the New York Stock Exchange on September 17 in order to ask for an economy serving the people, the regulation of financial markets, limiting their influence on political life, the creation of a public bank and a fair and equitable sharing of wealth.
We likewise call for all citizens to focus in front of the Madrid Stock Exchange on September 17, a day in which we will discuss those and those that sank the economy, which are the same and the same, institutions now betting against our future and promoting major cuts in social demand. Cuts which not only dramatically slow economic recovery, but also condemn the majority citizens to have worse schools, hospitals worse, worse pensions for our elderly, poorer infrastructure, thus conditioning the future of future generations.
It also clarifies that there is a double reason for making this event on a Saturday, because we want to help our American colleagues, who will begin their camp that day, and because during this time we will organize a forum for presenting lectures and discussions in addition to our complaint, presenting possible alternatives to our current economical situation.
Date: September 17
Time: 12:00 – 00:00
Location: Madrid Stock-Market Headquarters (Plaza de la Lealtead, by the Paseo del Prado and the Plaza of Neptune)

Cultural Performance in Transnational American Studies
DFG funded Research Network "Cultural Performance in Transnational American Studies" (wissenschaftliches Netzwerk DFG # BA 3567/4-1, funding: 1/2015-12/2017)
Project Directors (Projektleitung):
Dr. Birgit M. Bauridl (University of Regensburg)
Dr. Pia Wiegmink (JGU Mainz)
This network explores the potential of an integration of Performance Studies approaches into the field of (transnational) American Studies. It investigates how, which, and with what outcome issues that, in the wake of the transnational turn, have become central to the American Studies agenda can be addressed more adequately by the study of 'cultural performances.' Based on the idea of culture as a corporeal, communal, and dynamic event rather than a stable textual product, the individual projects arranged in three culturally and spatially specific clusters–the city, the nation, the globe—position the local particularities of cultural performance vis-à-vis the dynamics of global mobility. Firstly, they examine the role and impact of 'cultural performances' as particular acts of cultural expression (like daily rituals, festive occasions, or theatrical events) in transnational contact zones—sites in which cultures meet, grapple with each other, and inevitably negotiate questions of socio-political agency, representation, and power. Secondly, they develop and evaluate 'cultural performance' as a methodological approach for the study of transnational processes. In sum, the network scrutinizes the benefits and limitations of a deeper and more reflective integration of a Performance Studies approach into American Studies. By bringing together scholars of Performance and American Studies from the US, Europe, and Asia, it constitutes an exemplary site of transnational collaboration and establishes a dialogue across disciplinary boundaries.
Opening Conference "Interdisciplinary Crossroads: Performance Studies in Transnational American Studies" took place in Regensburg from July 23-26, 2015.
Keynote speaker: John Carlos Rowe (USC, Los Angeles)
"Performance Matters: Theories, Concepts, Methods"

Pork Left on Muslim's NY Doorstep May Be Bias Crime
Pork left at a Muslim woman's door in Staten Island is offensive because the meat is considered impure in Islam — and the incident may qualify as a bias crime, police say.
What a swine!
A hate-filled goon outraged a Muslim woman from Staten Island by leaving a helping of raw pork on her doorstep, police said Thursday.
The 26-year-old woman said she was asleep inside her Mosely Ave. home near Banberger Lane in Eltingville at about 11:30 p.m. Saturday when someone pounded on her front door.
When she answered, she found a package of raw pork on her doorstep, officials said.
Muslims do not eat pork because the Qur'an describes the meat as impure.
The NYPD's Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating the incident as a possible bias crime.
Whoever left the pork on the woman's doorstep remained at large Thursday, cops said.

One group in the series of prints looks at how other artists might have set about straightening up the Leaning Tower of Pisa. This marvelous confection--actually the freestanding bell tower for the Pisan cathedral-- began to lean shortly after it was begun in 1173, and some of the greatest engineering minds of several centuries have studied it. Various attempts have been made to return it to verticality, but it continued to angle its way toward the ground. In 1990, the tower became so unstable--it leaned 15 feet away from true vertical--that it had to be closed to the public, and heroic measures recommended by an international team were undertaken to encourage the tower to lean back the other way. These measures appear to have worked, at least for the time being--the tower reopened in June. Marsland, in designing the imaginary work of other artists, had no need to understand soil mechanics, or loads and stresses, or to be pragmatic at all in her engineering solutions, and some of her "solutions" are laugh-out-loud amusing.
"Oldenburg Straightens the Tower" morphs the elegant arcaded column into one of Claes Oldenburg's gigantic clothespins. It's quite startling to see how similar the proportions of the sculpture and the building are. Mechanical sculptor Jean Tinguely was famous for his irreverent constructions, and in "Jean Tinguely Straightens the Tower," the tower itself is almost obscured by fantastical scribbles in primary colors. Marsland imagines Louise Nevelson, on the other hand, in her most severe mode: She has the tower clamped firmly into a complicated device with an angle calibrator attached. Da Vinci fills the tower with an ingenious mechanism, tantalizingly visible through the tower's windows. Two of this group of prints are less than satisfactory however: Botticelli's angels appear more likely to blow the tower over than to straighten it; and we do not need any more pictures making use of images from Michelangelo's Sistine Ceiling.
For local gallery-goers, the funniest of Marsland's prints may be "Nancy Baker Straightens the Tower." Marsland has made an etching that looks just like a miniature of one of Baker's computer-manipulated images. It shows the Tower, with the Field of Miracles littered with allusive, decontextualized figures from other paintings, and if it were any more saturated with color, it would drip. Baker's trademark elf/Gumby/devil figures appear, of course. One hovers in the air like Tinkerbell, and it is not clear whether she'll make the tower stand up and behave, or cause it to fall down just for the pure hellish pleasure of it.
Another group in the series imagines the Tower as a sentient being. Marsland notes in her wall text that "the Tower stands silent, serene, enduring the politics and thrusts of many committees throughout the centuries. Its silence tells us nothing, not even the name of the architect. Historically, what has it observed?" For these pictures, Marsland uses the Tower as a base for imagery illustrating fragments of Pisan history. There's the mournful wreckage of ships in "The Battle of Meloria 1284"--the decisive battle that gave Genoa naval dominance over Pisa. There's a glowing skull symbolizing the thousands who died in the terrible plague year of 1348. In another piece Marsland distorts the Tower into an illustration of the Golden Mean of Pisan mathematician Fibonacci. And here's the Tower overlaid with both fragments of the ancient fresco from the nearby cemetery, and with some of the antic figures Keith Haring painted on his visit to Pisa in the 1980s.
The image of the Leaning Tower of Pisa is so well-known that it has become a cliché, but in actuality it is a beautiful, wondrous achievement. Marsland's own achievement is to have, through her playful repetition of an image already too often repeated, removed from it the pall of triteness, so that we may enjoy it again.
Marsland's is only one of the four shows at the Art Guild. Also of note is a group of wood sculptures by Andrew Fullwood. Fullwood hasn't completely settled into a style yet, but he is clearly interested in life forms--human, animal and plant. Everything is covered here, from an entwined couple in "Embrace," to a very large and fully detailed "Crustacean," to the inner workings of flowers in "Pollinate." Some of the pieces are more abstract, and in the best of these Fullwood shows a sympathetic awareness of the hidden forms waiting within the logs he carves. The most graceful one here is "Living Totem," a pale, hollow maple trunk rising to a tusk-like point and studded with a decorative ridge of smaller tusks in dark padauk wood. Fullwood has the potential to be a very rewarding sculptor when he settles into a mature style.
