Anime Reviews: One Piece Episode 520 - Big Guns Assembled! The Danger of the Fake Strawhats!
Things start to pick up, as most of the crew find their way together, and the episode ends with a proper sense of progression.

Manga Reviews: Monster Hunter Orage Volume 1
Because Monster Hunter Orage is an adaptation of a video game, rather than an existing story, the danger it ran was lacking substance, rather than a lazy story adaptation. Instead of retelling an existing story, Hiro Mashima had the creative freedom to do whatever he wanted with the story and characters. And unlike many other adaptive storytellers, Mashima knows how to make a story fun.
On the surface Monster Hunter Orage is a basic shonen story. Shiki is the typical shonen hero, with the weirdness ramped up to twenty, on a quest to defeat the strongest legendary monster, that most don't believe exist. The story isn't delving into deep new territories, but considering this is a video game adaptation, I think a simple, serviceable story works to the manga's advantage.

Manga Reviews: Hellsing Volume 1
I'm not the biggest fan of vampires, especially now that it's a craze. But I've loved Dracula for a long time, and Hellsing is a fairly good companion piece for that classic. When I think vampires, I expect a lot of bloodshed and awesome carnage. I'm a little squicky on the drinking part, but when it's in black and white I can handle it well enough.
Volume one starts with an entire police squad being massacred by a single vampire. The lone survivor, Ceras Victoria, tries to flee from her zombified former comrades, but is ultimately captured by the vampire priest. Before said priest can suck her blood, he is interrupted by Alucard, a vampire who hunts vampires for the Hellsing Organization.

Anime Reviews: One Piece Episode 518 - An Explosive Situation! Luffy vs. Fake Luffy!
At the time I watched it, this episode did not frustrate me. But thinking back on it I realized that the pacing in some of these episodes really does get pretty bad. Which is a shame, because it overshadows some otherwise pretty awesome moments.

Anime Reviews: One Piece Episode 517 - A New Chapter Begins - The Straw Hat Crew Reunites!
One Piece is easily my favorite manga and anime series ever. Up until now I haven't written any weekly reviews for the series since I was already writing too many, and felt I would rather watch the series for pure enjoyment. But with the time skip giving me a good place to start, I decided I should start showing my love a little more.

Movie Reviews: Rise of the Planet of the Apes
This movie suffered from schizophrenia. For the first two acts it was a character driven drama about one man's drive to not lose those close to him, and one ape's struggle to find where he belongs.
I can't believe I just wrote that sentence.
For the third act RotPotA devolves into Hollywood stereotype. Often movies like to play it safe for the third act by making it all action, all the time. Sometimes this works, but as anything else, it becomes tiresome when overdone. Most of the time it comes across as lazy.

News: FUNimation Entertainment Acquires ONE PIECE – SEASON FOUR
Flower Mound, Texas (October 28, 2011) – FUNimation® Entertainment today announced it has acquired the U.S. home video rights to Season Four of the action adventure anime series—ONE PIECE.
Season Four opens with episode 206 in classic 4:3 format, episodes 207-263 will be featured in HD 16:9 and contains the Water 7 Saga.
This extremely popular series is based on the manga by Oda Eiichiro and follows the adventures of Monkey D. Luffy and his band of Straw Hat Pirates. The series is currently into its 520thepisode. Fans can watch the simulcast episodes Saturdays at 10:00 pm EST on www.onepieceoffical.com.
FUNimation Entertainment will release the DVD in summer 2012.
Original News Post found at Funimation.com
For those not familiar with the episode numbers, this season will cover all the way up to the beginning of Enies Lobby. Which either means that it is almost definite that there will be a season five, or the FUNimation Dub will end at a very unfortunate place.
I'm not entirely up to date on all the DVDs, but this gives me time to pick up all the released sets before the summer of next year.

News: Weekly Shonen Jump Alpha
Last Friday Viz announced the cancellation of their Monthly Shonen Jump magazine. In its place they are planning a weekly digital magazine, Weekly Shonen Jump Alpha. While I was disappointed at the cancellation of the physical magazine, I think what Viz has in store more than makes up for it.

Manga Reviews: Love Hina Omnibus 1
Love Hina is part an examination of the stress the importance of making it into a good university places on modern Japanese youth. But mostly it's complete and utter chaos.
There are two things I like in manga, comedy and a straightforward romance. Love Hina provides a mixture that is just about right. While the comedy can be forced at times, and the same old joke gets recycled far too often, the romance makes it a series worth considering for fans of the genre. There is no doubt as to who the romantic couple is, and while that may not be for some, for others it provides a love story that doesn't ask the reader to suspend their disbelief that the two could ever not be together.

News: Fairy Tail Movie Announced
While we know next to nothing, such as what the plot will be—none of that really matters. It doesn't even matter if the movie is any good, though I would much prefer it if it is good, because pretty much all anime movies suck, or at least the early ones do. What's important is that Fairy Tail is getting a movie. I predicted a while back that we should be getting a movie soon, the series has been running for a while, and has already passed the hundred episode mark.
Getting a movie is a landmark for the series, it's becoming one of the "legitimate" long running series, like One Piece, Bleach, and Naruto.
Whether the movie is good or not, I do know that Fairy Tail has often proven capable of handling filler in an entertaining way. And since a movie is nothing but a good two hours of filler, I think we'll at least be able to enjoy it.
I'll keep you updated as I find more information, and since I know about the movie now, I'll keep my eye open for more news. If anyone has any good Japanese sites to check out, let me know, I want to keep an eye on them.
What do you hope the movie will be like? Do you have any plots that you think would make a good movie? Let me know in the comments section.

Anime Reviews: Blue Exorcist Episode 21 - Secret Garden
Blue Exorcist has gone the filler route, but episode 21 has made me want to stick around. Even though this is the only series I will be reviewing for a while, I am having more trouble catching up than Derek is with his own reviews which consists of this entire blog. I'm still trying to get used to this new lifestyle.

Anime Reviews: Blue Exorcist Episode 20 - Mask
This episode is the first part of a filler arc. Right now though, it looks just like any other kind of filler episode but if any of you have paid attention to what has been going on with Yukio, be prepared for a surprise at the end. I'm still getting used to this so bear with me on the plot summary.

Anime Reviews: Blue Exorcist Episode 19 - An Ordinary Day
Finally, a filler that's nothing but true filler, as opposed to trying to have a larger story. For those who may have been spinning from the last episode, this episode will be a relief to you. For those that think I was harsh in my last review, that is just how I felt about it. This episode's title sums up what it is, just an ordinary day.
An ordinary day of hilarity. -The Editor

In the previous two parts (1)(2), I described the directed evolution of fast folding fluorescent proteins. But why is it important? Why do we need fast folding GFP? Why do we need to know the maturation time?
For most applications, it usually doesn't matter. If we express these proteins constitutively, then we should already have enough fluorescent protein in the cells when we get to the experiment. Even in induced systems, we rarely take into account the maturation time of the protein. We follow fluorescent as it appears; usually without taking into account that the immature protein may have been present in the cells minutes or hours before.
However, when studying cellular dynamics, timing is important. The spatiotemporal dynamics of a protein is not an easy task to determine. Fluorescent timers (FT) are fluorescent proteins which change color with time due to a chemical conversion of the chromophore. Early FTs were first developed on the basis of mCherry. These FTs change color from blue to red at rates ranging from 10 min (fast-FT) to 28hr (slow FT). How are FT used? Basically, the ratio between the two colors should indicate the passage of time. For instance, a ration of red/blue=0 will indicate that the FT is a nascent protein that has not converted yet. A ratio of red/blue=1 indicates that there are no new proteins – all have converted. The ratio between 0 and 1 will tell us how much new protein still exists at the specific cellular location.
However, because of their tendency to oligomerize, or because of low brightness, these FTs were not widely used. Another recently developed monomeric green to orange FT is called Kusabira green orange (mK-GO). However, the 10h color transition is not suitable to measure fast dynamics.
A new paper sent to me by one of the blog readers (thanks Andrius) has taken a unique approach to develop FTs which they call tandem FT (tFT).
Instead of using directed evolution to develop a novel FT, they took two known fluorescent proteins which have significantly different maturation times (sfGFP and mCherry) and fused them together in tandem. The logic of this system is quite beautiful: the sfGFP will mature fast, and the green signal will remain consistent. The mCherry will mature slower (half-time of 40min). Thus, they get a two color timer. If the signal is only green, it means that the protein was recently synthesized. A larger ratio of red/green will indicate passage of time based on mCherry maturation rate. A ratio of 1 will indicate that no new protein is present at that particular location.
They then started playing with in in different scenarios in yeast. First, they followed the formation of the spindle pole body (SPB) (the yeast equivalent to centrosomes). It is already known that in yeast, the SPB duplicates during metaphase and the "old" SPB travels to the bud tip during anaphase. They tagged an SPB protein with their tFT. Indeed, they see that the ratio of red/green in the bud is greater than in the mother cell. A mutation known to affect this segregation similarly reduces the ratio in the bud compared to the mother. In contrast, proteins that are known to be retained at the mother, whereas newly synthesized a transported to the bud show the exact opposite – i.e. red/green signal higher in the mother vs. bud cell.
A very neat experiment used a bud-scar protein tagged with tFT which shows several bud scars forming on the same cell over time, with different color blends (the old scar is red, newer in "yellow" and newest in green. This presents a nice "clock" of for the relative age of each scar. It's too bad that the authors didn't add the real time line (in minutes) in their image and tried to correlate the actual time with the tFT "time".
They then started to explore other stuff. First, they looked at the segregation of nuclear pores during mitosis. Nuclear pores (NPC) are complex structures that allow transfer of proteins and RNA in and out of the nucleus in a regulated manner. The question they asked is whether "old" NPCs remain in the mother cell and the bud get newly synthesized proteins, or vice versa (or equal distribution, i.e. non discriminated transfer). They individually tagged each of the NPC proteins (plus some control) – a total of 36 proteins- with their tFT and measured whether we see older proteins at the mother or the bud. Surprisingly, the bud gets the older proteins. Their analysis suggests that there is active transport of the "old" NPCs into the bud. How this is achieved and why the bud should receive old and possibly damaged NPCs are good questions for further research.
Despite of their interesting results, the authors didn't stop there and when to test another application. They show that a single readout of the red/green ratio can indicate the stability of the protein. Stabilization/de-stabilization by mutations or different inherent stability can easily be distinguished based on the red/green ratio. They further utilize this approach to screen for protein stability regulators, which was quite successful as they identified most known factors in the specific pathway they studied, as well as identified new factors in this pathway.
In conclusion – this paper shows how one can utilize "ordinary" fluorescent proteins as fluorescent timers. Moreover, this method is much easier and much more flexible than trying to evolve FTs by random or directed mutagenesis. In fact, using different pairs with different maturation times would easily enable us to create FTs for any time intervals we wish and in any color we wish.
They show here how to utilize this system to follow cell cycle events. Obviously, this system can be used to study other scheduled, localized events in the cell.
A straightforward application is to follow protein stability. However, this system can also be used to study mRNA stability, by combining these tFTs with the MS2 system.
I'm sure other applications will be developed in the future.
All in all, a good paper with a great idea!

From an asset allocation perspective, when growth is slowing and inflation is tracking well below target central bank levels, the dogmatic policy response is to ease.
Because the market is currently sniffing a dovish policy shift from the Fed, we decided to take down our U.S. Dollar exposure and add some gold. Remember, as we outlined three weeks ago, consensus was positioned for a rate hike (short gold and oil and long dollars). The risk embedded in a disappointment (which we called out) is now unfolding.
Aside from the week-to-week policy whispers (you'll get more of it tomorrow at the ECB meeting), remember that the modern day Fed has never normalized policy into a late-cycle slowdown. This has been somewhat baked into market expectations over the last few weeks. But many Fed members remain hell-bent on hiking the federal funds rate this year. It's possible that they, and actual market participants, will be disappointed.
As our CEO Keith McCullough wrote yesterday, our core long ideas right now are:
- Long the Long Bond
- Long Gold
- Long Cash
Gold loves down Dollar and down rates. Period.
INTERMEDIATE TERM (TREND) (the next 3 months or more)
- Inflation expectations have crashed
- Relative central bank policy around the globe has exacerbated a strong dollar deflationary environment
- The Fed won't sit on its hands. They'll either "kick the can" or hike into a late-cycle slowdown which could spiral into QE4 which would crush the dollar.
We always model a high and a low range estimate in the Hedgeye Predictive Tracking Algorithm Model for any country's GDP. For Q3, here are those two scenarios:
Notice that this range of Hedgeye estimates (should it even be remotely correct) is country miles apart from the 3.7% Q/Q SAAR. A deceleration even using that methodology is probable.
Cue the cowbell.
LONG TERM (TAIL) (the next 3 years or less)
Cyclical and secular headwinds are matching up at the same time for a deadly combination. Our expectation is that global central banks will all drive interest rates right to zero (devalue until it's over).
After that, we'll see what happens.
Read a history book. You will want some gold when it all ends.

It's tough to grow up and give up the tropes of childhood – sandboxes, imaginary friends, seeing things from a different perspective, height-wise and otherwise. But wait a minute! What if you could grow up and still have a kid-friendly perspective? Well, then you would be in The Not-Its, the kids' power-punk group from Seattle.
The kindie universe is jam-packed with musicians whose press kits include phrases such as "Formerly with the Beatles and now a data analyst..." or "After touring the world with Guns 'N Roses, she now teaches zumba to seniors." While not as grandiose, the Not-Its roster features lead singer Sarah Shannon (from Velocity Girl, now the proprietor of Rockaboo music and movement), guitarist Danny Adamson (ex-punker turned realtor), guitarist Tom Baisden (special needs elementary school teacher), bassist Jennie Helman (HR professional), and drummer Michael Welke (from Harvey Danger, currently working with a design firm).
Kindie rock has countless acts who show up, sans amplification, and still faithfully replicate the songs from their CDs. Not so for The Not-Its. With their full throttle rock sensibilities, it's hard to imagine a stripped-down set of their tunes (unless they've got that planned for a very special live album). Their fifth CD, RAISE YOUR HAND, further entrenches their standing as the gatekeepers to "real" rock. I can't see the natural progression from, say, Laurie Berkner to Alanis Morrissette. But I can draw a clear line from The Not-Its to Fall Out Boy or Weezer.
The Not-Its bring back fond memories of their former East Coast contemporaries, the Jimmies. However, that group was more of a concept based around lead singer and song writer Ashley Albert. As Ashley moved on to new projects, the Jimmies have taken a lengthy sabbatical. in the meantime, The Not-Its are ably filling the void. The band delivers their take on same-sex couples with "Love Is Love," tackles education in "Nose in a Book," and everyday accidents on "When I Fell (The Scab Song)." The former punkers even take the time to mourn the past in the nostalgic "Hey 80s":
Neon tutus twirling so pretty in pink
Lucky Star was playing at the roller skating rink
I can't solve this Rubik's Cube
Who am I gonna call? The Ghostbusters are breakdancing
While playing Donkey Kong.
"The Waiting List" recites a litany of kids' frustrations at not getting to do something immediately. Classroom participation provided RAISE YOUR HAND's title track. Since we're dealing with a three-year-old who is terrified of the barber, our sympathies were with the band on "Haircut." In all, the CD contains 15 smartly compacted rock songs. Not lessons. Not messages (although they're there). The Not-Its are performing for kids, not teaching them. Raise your own darn kids. And while you're at it, take the time to RAISE YOUR HAND.
RAISE YOUR HAND is available on Tuesday, July 15 from The Not-Its' website, Amazon, CDBABY, and iTunes.
Here is the video for the band's song, "Rock Paper Scissors":

Tropic Thunder's Brandon T. Jackson will be the son of Axel Foley for Beverly Hills Cop TV show
Remember that television adaptation/reboot of BEVERLY HILLS COP? Well, they finally found the guy to play Axel Foley's son, Aaron.
I can't say I told you so, but I knew that they would choose Brandon T. Jackson.
The show focuses on Aaron, "a blue-collar police officer, the younger Foley works to take down the criminal elements of the rich and famous, while trying to escape from under his father's long shadow." Foley himself, Eddie Murphy will pop up in the pilot and throughout the show's run on occasion. Depending on how long the show actually runs.
Creator of THE SHIELD, Shawn Ryan will produce with Marney Hochman and Murphy. Ryan will write the pilot episode serve as showrunner.
Jackson who we should all know by his rapper name in TROPIC THUNDER, Alpa Chino was in other movies like ROLL BOUNCE, PERCY JACKSON & THE OLYMPIANS, as well as BIG MOMMAS: LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON, but I don't give a two craps about those. So how did I guess that Jackson would get it? Because his role in TROPIC THUNDER makes me think of a younger Murphy, plus I have psychic powers or something.
Not sure when the show will debut, but when it does it will be on CBS.

Movie review: Sunny Leone shines, sex kills the horror in Ragini MMS 2
Sadly, the sexually charged scenes shift the limelight from Sunny Leone's acting prowess to her body. In the scenes where the actor takes charge from the seductress in her, she's a powerpacked performer.movie reviews Updated: Mar 24, 2014 18:03 IST
Ekta Kapoor -- the television queen, a self-confessed fan of horror and maker of adult comedies -- knew what she was getting into when she conceptualised Ragini MMS 2, a horrex, the first-of-its kind for Indian cinema. She never cares about critics, she has always maintained. But does she care about her audiences? If yes, who are the target audience for
I got an answer to these questions, when I ventured out to watch Sunny Leone's Ragini MMS 2, helmed by Bhushan Patel. The enthusiastic crowd cheered when the film began. A lowdown on our protagonist's opening scene: Sunny Leone is sitting naked in a bathtub, and the song Baby doll begins with camera strategically zooming in on her assets. The cheers metamorphosed into lewd comments from a section of audience who had obviously recieved their money's worth from the film. What about the rest of the audience? Well, after a while, you cannot help but get affected by the obscenity not only on screen but also from the people who are sitting next to you.
But, it's a horrorex afterall. Didn't Ekta warn you?
In Ekta's world, the ghost goes naked, gets cosy in the shower, seduces you to a lake only to kill you. What's more? She can also kill you while in the act. Maybe there's a lesson here: think twice before a one-night stand.
Besides the overdose of sex, smooches and skimpy outfits, the film also has Kya Kool Hain Hum (another Ekta Kapoor movie) brand of humour that you were not promised before watching the movie. The Grand Masti lovers can rejoice again! The haters can stay home and do better things.
As far as horror is concerned, it dominates the second half, especially the climax. The sex and the adult comedy, however, diminishes the impact of spooky moments. The moment you begin to feel scared, there's something or the other to break the momentum.
Sunny Leone is the best and the worst thing about Ragini MMS 2. Sadly, the sexually charged scenes shift the limelight from her acting prowess to her body. However, in the scenes where the actor takes charge from the seductress in her, she's a powerpacked performer. The lady has a great screen presence and a potential that could be explored better than her skin.
Sandhya Mridul plays a behenji-turned-mod, a character she's never attempted before and excels at it. Her much-publicised kiss with Sunny Leone, though shot in an aesthetic way, was unwarranted. She enjoys her character though, which translates into a confident performance.
Divya Dutta, who plays Ragini's psychiatrist, is an actor of great mettle and excels again, but she should try different roles, before she becomes repetitive.
Parvin Dabbas, as a kinky director, impresses. Saahil Prem as Satya, the love interest of Sunny Leone delivers a decent performance. Kainaz Motivala (Ragini), in her brief appearance, does justice to her character.
Our verdict
Don't watch it if you are a serious horror lover. Go for it if you can appreciate Grand Masti humour and Sunny Leone's body.
The film within the film
Rocks, a filmmaker who's going through a rough phase, decides to make a horrorex with adult star Sunny Leone and some television actors. His film is based on the real life story of Ragini and Uday (the story of the first installment of Ragini MMS) whose dirty weekend turns into a spooky experience when Uday gets killed by a chudail (ghost) and Ragini lands up in a mental asylum.

By Brad Desmond on September 10, 2011
(Ed. note: With Wyoming snowboard star Travis Rice bringing big air to the Big Apple this week, we asked former Jackson resident/DJ/shredder turned NYU grad student/hipster Brad Desmond for a report. Besides studying the music biz, Brad writes about music and other topics on his blog, My Sunday Sweater.)
When I first watched Brain Farm's That's It That's All at its Jackson Hole premiere in 2008, I was blown away. And not just because I won the raffle twice (Quiksilver coat and belt), but because it was clear that Brain Farm was breaking new ground in the world of ski porn. As my chest vibrated with the soundtrack's bass and pupils dilated to take in the scope of IMAX/Planet Earth-quality cinematography, I was surprised to feel something other than the usual image-induced stoke. That desire to run to the nearest chairlift was there, however matched by a sense of awe and wonder that I had yet to experience from an action sports film.
Naturally my excitement for Brain Farm's follow-up built as The Art of Flight began to garner media hype last winter. I was even more excited when I found out the film's world premiere would take place in New York City, a place I recently migrated to from Jackson. But this excitement fizzled when the show quickly sold out (I guess I took the Jackson habit of last-minute ticket buying with me). A quick look on Craigslist revealed tickets selling between $50 and $100 (retail was $20, plus Ticketmaster fees). It was clear that whatever marketing Brain Farm, Quiksilver and Red Bull were doing was paying off.
Undeterred, I made my way uptown Wednesday night in the rain to see what I could do about a ticket. As it turned out, I was not the only one with this plan. 74th and Broadway was turned into a small circus, some mashup between the base area of the world superpipe championship and a proper Hollywood premiere. Beside the Beacon Theater marquee, whose digital screen projected images from the film's trailer, was a red carpet surrounded by media. Behind this on the street was a line of Red Bull cars and a DJ trailer from which a few of the athletes gave out tickets in exchange for mild humiliation or feats of strength (pushup contest, who can give T. Rice a wedgie).
I managed to find an extra ticket without performing either of these, and headed inside with just enough time to take in the beautiful interior of the Beacon and strange assortment of athletes, industry people, a handful of celebrities, confused New York socialite types, and a lot of people like me, who I think just wanted to see the movie.
On the way in I spotted Travis Rice holding court on the red carpet. It was cool to see this familiar face from Jackson, who I always found friendly, in his moment, celebrating the achievement of this film and a milestone in an exceptional career. It's easy to be cynical when we see these people, who get paid to do the same thing we love to do, on a pedestal or red carpet. But after seeing the film, it's clear to me that the pomp and spectacle were well deserved, considering the time, effort and significant financial investment that went into attempting to push the adventure sports medium forward. And that's exactly what this film does.
So about the film: I don't want to talk too much about the details, as I am not a critic and I don't want to spoil it for you before the Jackson Hole premiere (Sept. 24 at Center for the Arts). All I'll say is that I've never seen anything of this scope before in a ski movie. I'm not even sure where it fits into its genre. The slow-motion shots, brought to you by Brain Farm's arsenal of the highest-tech equipment, give the film a sense of syrupy wonder, a reality where gravity can be manipulated to allow the athletes to effortlessly impress us.
But what's so incredible is when the action speeds back up and you realize this isn't The Matrix — these athletes have actually pushed their sport that far out, and these filmmakers have honed their craft to the extent that, taken together, the two make the real seem utterly dream based. To experience this on a big screen in a theater with great sound (this former KHOL music director gives the soundtrack two thumbs up) is an experience that can't be underestimated, and I found well worth the cost of admission. It's clear that the work that went into this movie, by the filmmakers, athletes, investors and more, was worth celebrating on a New York scale.

Two Americas
I spent Wednesday afternoon at Nationals Park watching my home town team play baseball.
It was one of those impossibly idyllic days you only get in September. Here in DC we look forward to them all year; look forward to a break from the heat and humidity, to warm days punctuated by cool breezes that lift our hair along with our spirits; to golden moments perfectly suspended between endless summer and the gloom of approaching winter. My firm was having a Team Building event and so - though I have little in common with the sales staff besides working for the same company - I gamely joined them in the pursuit of something that seems to hover just out of our reach these days: unity of identity and purpose.
The home team lost, but somehow even that didn't matter. It was a beautiful September day and we were full to the brim with hot dogs and beer and happiness; united for a moment by the glorious feeling of playing hooky from the responsibilities that awaited us back at the office.
Perfection, ephemeral as an Indian summer afternoon.
On the way back reality, held at bay by those ballpark gates and the tantalizing possibility of extra innings, began its relentless assault on our senses. Route 66 might as well have been a parking lot. Jokes gradually gave way to silence as we pulled out our cellphones, checked messages and email and mentally braced ourselves for the shock of re-entry.
That's when it happened. Someone said, "I can't believe it will be nine years this week since 9/11". And one by one we began to remember where we were, what we were doing, how it felt. It was this generation's "Where were you when they shot JFK?" moment and for a brief shining moment the shared memory pulled us back from the brink and made us one again.
But like everything that seems impossibly perfect, that moment wasn't meant to last.
Remind any group of Americans about 9/11 and for a moment we'll put aside our differences, put aside our disparate values and priorities. For a moment - but only for a moment - everything else is burned away by the searing memory of the mutual shock and loss and disbelief that gripped us: Republicans, small L libertarians and Democrats alike. For an instant all of that will be forgotten as we remember what's important: that somehow, despite the thousand threats to our security and peace of mind; despite madmen who strap bombs to their chests, zealots with box cutters, and idiots who burn Korans, we are alive.
This week, on the ninth anniversary of that awful day John Edwards' Two Americas stand side by side, an eerie memorial to those vanished Twin Towers. They have long since crumbled into dust, their twisted girders repurposed and reforged into an enduring symbol of American strength and resolve.
Or at least that is how one of the two Americas sees it. That America sees the last flickers of the defiant spirit, the resourcefulness and ingenuity that built this country. It is reassured and reaffirmed by the visible reminder that we still produce leaders who make hard decisions and accept the consequences. This America attributes our current security to our willingness to defend ourselves; to men and women who have given up that most precious of commodities - time with loved ones, or even their very lives - to ensure that no more brilliant autumn mornings will be rocked by unexpected bolts from the blue.
The other America sees hate, paranoia, a foolish overreaction to a minor threat. That America wants to move on already. It is weary of war and its discontents and suspicious of American exceptionalism. It only wants to be left in peace, citing the absence of a follow on attack as proof that (had we only possessed the surety that comes with 20/20 hindsight) we could have reacted differently but achieved essentially the same results. Bin Laden would not have tried again. He would have slunk back to the far reaches of Pakistan to lick his non-existent wounds, or been captured. Somehow they know this. Saddam would not, as he did during the 1990s, once again send an invading army over the border to attack his neighbors. He would not use chemical weapons on his own people. He would give up his nuclear aspirations and cease funding acts of terrorism. He would bow to the will of the global community and meekly allow arms inspectors full access. The leopard would change his spots.
Which of these two Americas is right? Who are we, really? The truth is that we cannot know what future would have followed the path not taken. Nine years after 9/11 we would like clarity. We would like closure. But we will not have either of these things. Certainty is a dream - as much a dream as the illusion of invulnerability that united us until 8:46 a.m. Eastern time nine years ago.
We cannot rewrite the past; cannot shape a happier ending for the story that began nearly a decade ago. What we can do, is remember:
In St. Augustine, Dan Hill was laying tile in his upstairs bathroom when his wife called, "Dan, get down here! An airplane just flew into the World Trade Center. It's a terrible accident." Hill hurried downstairs, and then the phone rang. It was Rescorla, calling from his cell phone.
"Are you watching TV?" he asked. "What do you think?"
"Hard to tell. It could have been an accident, but I can't see a commercial airliner getting that far off."
"I'm evacuating right now," Rescorla said.
Hill could hear Rescorla issuing orders through the bullhorn. He was calm and collected, never raising his voice. Then Hill heard him break into song:
Men of Cornwall stop your dreaming;
Can't you see their spearpoints gleaming?
See their warriors' pennants streaming
To this battlefield.
Men of Cornwall stand ye steady;
It cannot be ever said ye
for the battle were not ready;
Stand and never yield!
Rescorla came back on the phone. "Pack a bag and get up here," he said. "You can be my consultant again." He added that the Port Authority was telling him not to evacuate and to order people to stay at their desks.
"What'd you say?" Hill asked.
"I said, 'Piss off, you son of a bitch,' " Rescorla replied. "Everything above where that plane hit is going to collapse, and it's going to take the whole building with it. I'm getting my people the fuck out of here." Then he said, "I got to go. Get your shit in one basket and get ready to come up."
Hill turned back to the TV and, within minutes, saw the second plane execute a sharp left turn and plunge into the south tower. Susan saw it, too, and frantically phoned her husband's office. No one answered.
About fifteen minutes later, the phone rang. It was Rick. She burst into tears and couldn't talk.
"Stop crying," he told her. "I have to get these people out safely. If something should happen to me, I want you to know I've never been happier. You made my life."
If we are to remember on this day then we should remember all of it, without flinching and without prettying up the messy parts.
Nine years into this war on Islamic extremism we hear a lot about lives destroyed by war. We hear of shattered limbs and broken minds; of suicides, despair, and shadowy figures living under bridges because they can't ever, truly, return from war. The America they left no longer exists for them.
And the hell of it is that all of this is true. Every painful, stinking bit. But it is not the whole truth. The whole truth is that the horrors of war rend and tear at our spirits but they also stiffen our spines and harden our resolve. War gives us back broken children, husbands, wives but also survivors who emerge stronger than ever from the crucible of war. Heroes like Rick Rescorla - a man who, for over a decade, kept watch over the workers at the World Trade Center against an enemy no one else took seriously.
And without men like Rick - without men hardened by horrors most of us cannot imagine even in our worst nightmares - a lot more than 3000 people would have died. Up to 2600 more, by some counts.
Sitting there in that van on Route 66, it wasn't the morning of September 11th that I remembered.
It was a moment that occurred at dusk several weeks later. I've forgotten the exact date now. I was alone - living at my mother in law's empty house in Arlington as I waited for our retirement home to be completed in western Maryland. My husband, a Marine Lieutenant Colonel at the time, was on duty at the Pentagon; one of a skeleton staff still manning its silent halls filled with the acrid scent of smoke. I smelled it on him every dawn when he slipped into bed beside me, moments before my alarm went off.
I got home from work late (as usual) and hurried around the unfamiliar house searching for candles, matches, a sweater to protect me from the autumn chill. And precisely at sunset I gathered these things and went out onto the flagstone patio. Although I could not see them, nearly every door on the silent suburban street was filled with mothers, fathers, children crowding into cramped doorframes. I couldn't see them, but I felt their presence.
And as the sun slipped slowly out of sight on the horizon, tiny flames lit up the autumn dusk like fireflies. For a moment - one, golden moment - the two Americas were united in grief and loss and anger. And the world grieved with us.
It didn't last, but then such moments aren't meant to last. With the dawn the two Americas parted again, standing side by side like those Twin Towers. We desperately want there to be only one, but that is not the America we know. America was born in revolution and dissent and baptized by years of bitter war and violent enmity. America is the product of a clash of ideas - rich, landed gentry who distrusted the passions of the common people and firebrands who envisioned a people whose ardent love of liberty would no more countenance the tyranny of home grown despots than they would the rule of a foreign power.
America embodies the tension between liberty and responsibility and the truth is that we need both if we are to remain a free and prosperous people. In a way, those Twin Towers were a more apt symbol than we knew.
They are gone. Only we remain. We, the people of the United States of America with all our differences, arguments and competing visions. It is the from clash between these visions, and not from some illusive dream of unity, that we will form that more perfect union our forebears envisioned.
The land of the free, made possible by the brave.

"You see, for Rick Rescorla, this was a natural death. People like Rick, they don't die old men. They aren't destined for that and it isn't right for them to do so. It just isn't right, by God, for them to become feeble, old, and helpless sons of bitches. There are certain men born in this world, and they're supposed to die setting an example for the rest of the weak bastards we're surrounded with." - Dan Hill
Rick Rescorla, Ronnie Bucca, Sgt Jeffery Smith, Jason Dunham, and so many more valorous men who have given the last full measure of devotion that we may live in peace and freedom.
I don't know if there is one America, or two, or whatever. You can't coerce really free people to think one way, no matter how right your cause may be.
I only know that we can't forget. I won't forget. It's not so much that the United States is going to "fade away", it's just that the Vichy Americans just want to get on with their lives, "the rest of the weak bastards we're surrounded with" as Dan Hill would call them, want to put it all behind us. We "over-reacted", we did too much. As Rick Rescorla was forbidden by the Port Authority from evacuating the folks at Dean Witter who were his responsibility (he got them out anyways), so too are we "forbidden" from thinking the thoughts that free men should think about their past, future and their posterity.
America, as other countries have in the past, changes over time. We will become more one thing than another, and I'm really not sure what it is that we will become. More Code Pink or more Freedom Riders? More Federalist or more centralized statism?
It's all up to us. And it's up to us to remember, and not let the memory of these times fade on a Saturday afternoon drenched in college football.
Because I really don't want us to become a nation of weak bastards whining in the dark, afraid of our own shadows.

Every anniversary of 9/11, I read "Heart of a Soldier" again. This is what duty is all about. The effete left has no idea of the threats that are deflected every day by people like Rescorla.

Transparency is very important strategically.
Without transparency, people can be easily fooled into believing Democrats cared whether troops got the proper body armor protection. This can lead individual Americans to provide resources to an enemy that they thought was an ally, which hampers the war effort and prolongs the zone of danger and injury to US soldiers, rather than shortens it by mitigating threats.
But knowing how a con was done, doesn't prevent future cons from working. It's not enough to know that people are attempting to accrue political capital by playing up an issue when it benefits them and downplaying it (like in today's Afghanistan) when it doesn't benefit them.
Transparency solves this problem, as all evil and shadow players like the darkness to cover up their real intentions. Sooner or later, if you shine the light bright and hard enough, the inner most depths to their intentions and goals will be clear. But it takes time and work. Most people are satisfied with a superficial excuse or explanation. That won't work to get to the goods.
People need full and clear information so that they can make decisions. Decisions on whether they should support more body armor money now, even though this will lead to Democrats flipping more troops/less troops and then defunding the military in post 2008 November. If that's what the Americans want to go for, because they think it benefits them personally or something, they should be free to go for it. But they also must not be under the delusion that they are doing something else. They need to be clear and transparent on the consequences. Not in lalaland.
Human mental defenses have become a liability, when so many choices today are long term rather than short term survival esque forks in the road. It's hard to reflect back or even get an accurate feedback of the consequences.
Stick your hand in a fire and the consequences become very clear and transparent. Stick somebody else's hand in a fire and the consequences are also very clear, if not quite as transparent given human communication interlocks.
Giving terrorists a check for 50 dollars which leads to the terrorists having enough resources to stick somebody's hand in a fire to torture them for information on who aids Americans in this village, which then leads to the night time execution of said villagers, may not be so clear. It's easy to deny it. It's easy to be deluded by happy thoughts.

Grim mentioned a exclusion policy based upon virtue, to inform society on who can adequately judge between good/evil, right/wing, truth/falsity.
The execution, however, runs into human fallibility in determining the details of execution.
It's always back to principle and institutions. Creating a balance of power, such that one can call the balance an institution, organic and self-supporting beyond the usual entropic limits on human organizations. Regardless of what you call it, humans need organization and institutions to tell them who is boss. Even in a democracy, which is why we have an oligarchy in power, not so much a republic or democracy.
People usually ignore this as institutions and principles of governance are too long ranged strategically to matter to people staring at immediate life issues. They have no interest in such, usually. That's because nobody informs them on it impacts their life. For it does impact their life. Whether ruled by king or senate, it affects their life. But they are kept ignorant, on purpose. It serves totalitarian principles to keep people in the dark and dependent upon the "educated" for the truth.
Just as there are principles and institutions to creating and maintaining a society of free individuals, so there are principles and institutions to creating and maintaining totalitarian systems of absolute slavery.
Posted by: Ymarsakar at September 12, 2010 03:11 PM
On to the subsequent issue. How do you pass on down the knowledge required to emulate both systems found in human history, those centered around liberty and security and those centered around security and slavery?
It may be enough to simply teach the Light side of things, but eventually people have to learn about the Darkness as well, to understand what the point of it all is.

I liked the reference to the 'Vichy' in France as it applies to dreamy, Hope and Change Americans. Pretty to think that by organizing a hands across here, there or somewhere, swaying to a "We are the World" utopian dream of coming together and expecting an "aw shucks" from the resident evil du jour is shameful. Not the least because it assumes that history was meant for someone else and does not apply to our current conflict or enlightened elites. No need to learn from France's failure or Britain's Chamberlain.
Never forget the horror and the apt discription of the Hindenburg disaster "OH THE HUMANITY" as it ressurects itself in the jumpers off the WTC. It is impossible to not digest the sober horror of these souls who chose one type of death over another. Sometimes holding hands in the duality of life and death choosing the abyss over the inferno. Or piloting a hijacked plane into the ground with a resident evil whose last words heard was "Here they come" and "Let's roll."
"Darkness At Noon" haunts many of us to this day whether in the bowels of Lubyanka or a jungle where the buzz of insects stops to be replaced by the click of a safety on a weapon in the darkness, too many don't want "to understand what the point of it all is."
Never forget!

Self-care is not about face masks or spa treatments. or posting new nails on your Instagram and seeing more than 11 likes when you are really dying inside.
It is not about pretending to post happy subjects or moments when you are finally out the house to Facebook when inside you are still thinking about painful sore subjects in your heart.
Self-care is actual growth. It is admitting to your followers that they are not going to get photos of happiness but growth. It is admitting to your content that the time break involved giving up a few things and planting new ideas.
Stop feeling ashamed of past failures
Whenever you feel the embarrassment or pain related to an issue, you have to get over the idea that you have to overcome this pain. That is bullshit. Overcoming pain is the end goal and the prettiest way to tell followers how strong you are. But strength comes from actually tackling that shame you feel. ENDURE it. Why do you still feel embarrassed by your mistakes? Did you take responsibility for your actions? Then why do you continue to pity yourself for that pain? Are you making changes in your life to be better? Then relive those moments with your better self and make better choices when replaying those painful memories. If they don't answer to the better self you have become, then you know you have changed as you don't know how in reality they would react. But I believe if you can replay these moments and the subject's reply in a kind way, you are looking for reassurance. And that is also okay. people hurt us, and sometimes we try to be better for people who don't care about changing for us. We then want to seek them out to show them how much we have done. But that doesn't benefit your growth in the long term.
Don't make excuses instead of real-time decisions
A lot of people fail in the long term because of excuses they make. A lot of relationships fail because of these excuses. This does not relate to your career only. Understand when you make excuses for other people and not take any action, the relationship would fail.
People's opinions of you do not matter and you need to start believing this sooner rather than later
Sometimes we forget this. I do. We forget this so many times in our lives. When we make mistakes, we may care when we want people to notice we have changed. However, people notice without you trying. You have to do what is best for you. Even if it is walking away from hard situations. You have to choose yourself. Your point of view matters more than anyone else. How you take care of yourself matters more. Take care of yourself when you are sad and then tell your loved one and your friends. Take care of yourself with healthy methods and then tell your friends as a summary rather than expecting them to fix the situation. If they wish to add or tell you their input or fix, they are adding to what you have already done.
Are you running from problems?
Stop running. If you feel it is too hurtful to deal with, you are running. Cry to ease the hurt. There is nothing wrong with crying. Laughter eases pain and so does crying. Find ways to ease the pain and then tackle the wound. Face the issues that bother. Was it a failure? Was it feeling worthless? Answer those questions in a creative way and find solutions. When you feel hurt, what must you do? When you feel worthless, what method helps you to achieve that makes you see your worth? If you feel like a failure, remind yourself that learning from mistakes erases that failure.
Stop sitting empty-handed
Keeping your mind empty is a foolproof way to feel nothing. Doing nothing about the situation is still like doing something negative. Feeling numb or not fixing the situation and letting yourself just do nothing, doesn't work
No appreciation about life.
You are not a failure. Stop letting yourself do that. You won't do that to your own friends. There are so many things about you that are special and wonderful and you cannot depend on someone else for your life's decision. Even if that includes how you feel about yourself. Appreciate what you have and try to make it excellent. Understand that you can make the next day however you want it to be. If you want to be a traveler, you actually can sell everything and go on trips. Stop thinking that you cannot be what you see on Instagram or what you think he or she likes. Stop appreciating other bodies and souls when you have something amazing in front of you. People can change. So can you. You can change your predicament. You can be what you see on that Instagram feeds or be something entirely new. Appreciate what you have first.
Stop procrastinating your life goals
When problems come into your life, it is so easy to forget to deal with them. You think so quickly about what you need to achieve but then you realize you aren't actually going after your dreams either. If you're a writer, then why aren't you writing? That's when the self-pity cycle starts again. I'm hurting so I cannot write. Why am I hurting when I should be moving on? Why are you complaining when you have so much to do? Why are you a writer if you don't write? This shit is crap because you haven't dealt with the hurt. I'm hurting, leave me alone. All that noise does is stop you. It is telling you right there to stop avoiding that wound. Cry about it if you want to. Cry and say fuck you to everyone or everything if that is what you need or feel. Deal with the hurt. Process it through creative outlets. Because you really have two choices: acceptance or change the situation.
I have found through my writing that painful subjects are hard to tear through. Writing them down meant to actually deal with hurt. It felt like complaining to me. But I realized that you have a choice to listen to me. And that expressing my emotional need shouldn't feel like cumbersome to me because I am thinking about what people think.
I tell my therapist sorry for crying. I tell people sorry for sharing my life and my pain when they ask and are there for me. I overly show gratitude to those who are being friends because I am actually surprised that they want to hear my pain.
It is an internalizing method that I have not gotten over because I keep attracting externalizing people who use me for emotional reasons.
I've realized a lot over the past few months and I realized that there is no reason to blame anyone. Just put your head down and do your work.
It sucks really when no one notices the work. When other people seem like they have everything together but truthfully, they also have thier issues.
It sucks when their followers praise them but you get nothing from it.
I kept feeling horrible for mistakes I've made. And then choosing emotionally unavailable people. Or feeling bad about my depression when I shared it.
"No one wants to hear about depression."
However, the truth is when people care, they show it. When people want you in their life, they work hard to make sure you are there. And when they want to know your grievances, they actually ask questions and not avoid your eye.
I've learned in 2017 to stop trying for people who obviously do not want to try for you. When your instincts are telling you that you are doing most of the work, as usual, leave. Walk away. There is no more point when they would only tell you what is wrong with you anyway instead of truly assessing how you have been inconvenienced.
2017: Trying too hard for people.
2018 is a new year but it is not the end of everything you feel. See it as a continued growing year where there is no fresh cleanse but just you hustling up a hill and knowing that there may be hills after this one.
Self-care and growth is a lifetime process and I plan to be better every time. I want to try harder and I know when the new year comes, a new Meghan is not what I should expect but instead, I see myself as a learning experience. Not to hate myself for my mistakes, or not pay attention to open wounds but actively work towards success.
2018 won't solve your problems. Saying goodbye to 2017 won't erase them. You can only learn from your mistakes if you want to achieve success.
And that word, success. That is defined by you and only you.
