Florida: Gay marriage – illegal. Sex with animals – legal.Posted by J. James under Crime, Marriage
Leave a Comment
Here is tidbit about Florida politics from the Sun Sentinel that would be amusing if its implications were not so disturbing.
Sen. Nan Rich, of Weston, a sponsor of the current bill, has tried to get a law against beastiality for years. Rich cited recent cases of bestiality, including a man from a place called Mossy Head who was suspected of accidentally asphyxiating a family goat during a sex act. …
The law was passed unanimously by the Senate this week. It would make it a first-degree misdemeanor to have sex with an animal, with a penalty of up to a year in jail.
The Senate had passed a similar bill last year, but it fizzled out before it came before the House. The House bill has a similar measure, but it awaits debate.
What is there to debate?
Florida, you may have sunny skies, beautiful beaches, and be home to the happiest place on earth, but let me get this straight here about your state. Gay marriage is illegal (as is it for a gay couple to adopt a child). Yet, having sex with a goat is still legal – and laws to make this a crime have "fizzled out" in the past? Really? Fizzled out?

New Yorks fails.Posted by J. James under Human Rights, Marriage
[3] Comments
Despite the bill's support by the state's governor, the New York State Senate failed New Yorkers and Americans today by voting down same-sex marriage with a 38-24 margin. There was a bright shining moment in the chamber, that being an eloquent, heartfelt speech by Senator Diane Savino. Honestly, I have about the biggest schoolboy crush ever right now. Senator Savino, I never thought I'd say this, but I think I'm ready to settle down. Call me.
I cannot comprehend somebody listening to this speech and still disagreeing.
Deputy Republican leader, Tom Libous, said of today's results: "Certainly this is an emotional issue and an important issue for many New Yorkers. I just don't think the majority care too much about it at this time because they're out of work, they want to see the state reduce spending, and they are having a hard time making ends meet. And I don't mean to sound callous, but that's true."
So, apparently, unhappy New Yorkers would want to strip as many people as possible of their happiness. Here's an interesting breakdown from the NY Times: "The defeat revealed stark divides: All 30 of the Republican senators opposed the bill, as did most of the members from upstate New York and Long Island. Support was heaviest among members from New York City and Westchester County and among the Senate's 10 black members. Seven of the Senate's 10 women voted for it."
In other words, it's more or less old, white, Christian, Republican males that are keeping this political discrimination going in New York, keeping gays and lesbians as second-class citizens, and once again strengthening my argument that Republicans are completely useless and downright hurtful to our country. Let's bring back the Whig Party – at least they had a few decent ideas. With that said, not all Democrats are free from blame, with four first-term Democrat clowns playing it safe by voting nay along with four others. Hopefully this means that their first time in office is their last, because as Democratic Senator Kevin S. Parker put it after the results today, "This is the worst example of political cowardice I've ever seen."
Cowardice is putting it nicely though. It's an abomination. Disgusting. Oh, just for a hell of it, here are the names and emails of the eight Democrats that shot this bill down today. Whether you reside in the state of New York or not, please, have your voice heard.

Because Paul Newman was better than you. And better than you'll ever be. Swallow that pill of truth, bitches.
"I'm a supporter of gay rights. And not a closet supporter, either. From the time I was a kid, I have never been able to understand attacks upon the gay community. There are so many qualities that make up a human being, by the time I get through with all the things that I really admire about people, what they do with their private parts is probably so low on the list that it is irrelevant."

Maine sucks, but not everybody that lives there.Posted by J. James under Human Rights, Marriage, Video
Leave a Comment
It was only a couple of weeks ago when I officially declared that Maine sucks, after the voters put their bigotry on display by overturning the law permitting same-sex couples to marry. The folks with New Left Media – comprised of two young politically-active college kids – made the long trip to Maine to document the hours surrounding the voting day and they put together this very well-polished video, which you can watch below. It's both inspiring and saddening.

Person of the Week: Will PhillipsPosted by J. James under Human Rights, Marriage, Religion
[3] Comments
"I've always tried to analyze things because I want to be lawyer," 10-year old fifth grader Will Philips recently told the Arkansas Times. "I really don't feel that there's currently liberty and justice for all."
After much reflection, young Will has decided he will no longer stand during or recite the Pledge of Allegiance until legal equality is given to homosexuals in America. The first day he refused to stand, the teacher asked him to stand up, but he respectfully declined. After a few days of this, the teacher began to get angry and told Will that his mother and grandmother would want him to stand. Will did not appreciate that.
"She got a lot more angry and raised her voice and brought my mom and my grandma up," Will said. "I was fuming and was too furious to really pay attention to what she was saying. After a few minutes, I said, 'With all due respect, ma'am, you can go jump off a bridge.'"
Awesome – and stated with such fine manners. Of course, his parents were called in for a meeting with the principal, and Will's mother said she would talk to him about not telling people to jump off of bridges. The principal agreed though, it was Will's right not to stand for the pledge, although the principal backed off on making the teacher apologize to the young man.
Will has had the support of many of his young friends for his stand against bigotry, but predictably, he has been confronted and taunted by many of his peers, something he seems to simply shrug off.
"In the lunchroom and in the hallway, they've been making comments and doing pranks, and calling me gay," he said, not seeming too personally affected, just wondering why the other kids are so immature. "It's always the same people, walking up and calling me a gaywad."
Are you smarter than a fifth grader? For much of America, they're probably not smarter than this one. To those people, I say go jump off of a bridge.
To us others who value our intelligence, let us examine the Pledge of Allegiance. There are many more problems with it besides the blatant lies that America stands for liberty and justice for all.
How about the "one nation under God?" A little known fact: that wasn't added into the Pledge of Allegiance until 1954 under the Eisenhower administration, essential turning the Pledge from an oath into a public prayer to a single deity, large in part due to the effort of the Catholic fraternity Knights of Columbus, who are named after the disease-spreading, native torturing, exploiter of people, Christopher Columbus. On the day he signed it into a law, Eisenhower said, "From this day forward, the millions of our school children will daily proclaim in every city and town, every village and rural schoolhouse, the dedication of our Nation and our people to the Almighty."
Frightening. There has been case after case fighting this in the Supreme Court, but the Pledge still remains as is over fifty years later. That's enough on this today though, folks. That's a discussion for another day. Just a little food for thought. Just know that we officially endorse Will Philips as Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Empire.

Equids -- specifically horses, donkeys and zebras -- are the only animals that sleep standing up, an evolutionary talent that allows them to doze and still be ready to flee from predators at a moment's notice. Mature horses, for example, frequently rest standing up, aided by what's known as the "stay apparatus" of the forelegs and the "check apparatus" of the hind legs. This anatomical system lets them snooze without falling down, with little or no muscular effort.
Of course, horses and other equids also lie down to get deeper REM sleep, and may even snore and twitch as though they are dreaming.
The sleeping habits of horses:
Post 1
I remember my childhood days. We had one horse and horse-cart which my grandfather used to visit the Eye Hospital daily. We were spread grass bundles for bedding over the wooden planks platform just 1' above the ground. But, we never saw the horse lying down. We enjoyed hitching the horse to the cart and tapping on the muzzle (very soft) with our hands.

WASHINGTON — The briefing materials are ready, loaded into tablet computers, secure internet sites or cloud computing applications. Officials from the White House and 100 federal agencies are on standby, waiting to meet "landing teams" from the president-elect's staff and brief them on how things really work in government. The organizational charts have been meticulously mapped.
But eight days after President-elect Donald J. Trump won election in a stunning upset, surprising even himself, the process of transferring power from the Obama administration to the Trump administration has yet to grind into motion, delayed by a series of shake-ups at Trump Tower that have sown confusion and discord. One associate of Mr. Trump's has told people that his operation is a month behind schedule.
Under ideal circumstances, the process — months in the planning by the Obama administration and aides to both Mr. Trump and his defeated opponent, Hillary Clinton — looks far different. Parts of it are governed by a statute President Obama signed this year to streamline the transition process and ensure an early start to a task that has been compared to a giant corporate merger involving a $4 trillion budget.
But for all the drama surrounding his transition to power, Mr. Trump is hardly the first president-elect to preside over a disorderly takeover.
Donald Trump's Cabinet Is Complete. Here's the Full List.
A list of appointees and nominees for top posts in the new administration.
The 1988 transition from Ronald Reagan to George Bush was particularly nasty, because many Reagan administration aides assumed — wrongly, as it turned out — that they would be in line to keep their jobs in a government that remained in Republican hands.
Bill Clinton's transition in 1992 was marred by a staff shake-up that upended a carefully planned process: Mr. Clinton replaced his transition chief, Mickey Kantor, who had been Mr. Clinton's campaign chairman, with Warren Christopher, who would become secretary of state. It was also hobbled by Mr. Clinton's campaign promise to slash White House staff by 25 percent, which made it more difficult to manage the government.
And even in the 2008-9 transition from George W. Bush to Mr. Obama that members of both parties consider a model of efficiency, Mr. Obama had to replace his head of personnel several times.
"There is a long history of unfortunate transition activity," said Max Stier, the president and chief executive of the Center for Presidential Transition, a project run by the nonpartisan Partnership for Public Service.
Still, he added, the Trump transition is different in that it appears to lack guidance from seasoned government professionals who grasp the magnitude of the bureaucracy he is about to inherit.
"You have a president-elect who has been elected on a platform of change from the outside," Mr. Stier said. "This is distinctive in that there is not anybody in the inner orbit who has deep understanding of the institution that Trump is going to have to run."
Setting the ground rules
A memorandum of understanding between the White House chief of staff and the leader of the president-elect's transition team is typically signed by both immediately after the election, as was the case when Mr. Obama was preparing to take office. The document governs the terms by which the president's staff and that of the president-elect collaborate, including important nondisclosure requirements for both sides, and its completion unlocks the rest of the transition process.
Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey signed such an agreement on Nov. 8, before the election result was determined, but it was invalidated on Friday when Mr. Trump turned over the transition operation to Vice President-elect Mike Pence. A transition spokesman said late Tuesday that Mr. Pence had signed the document. But Brandi Hoffine, a White House spokeswoman, said the transition team had not yet provided the list of officials who would be participating in the process, a requirement before the handover can begin.
Landing teams arrive
Within a few days of the election, the landing teams are supposed to begin work at federal offices to learn about their inner workings, functions and responsibilities; to determine how to staff crucial positions there; and to figure out how they fit in with the new administration's goals and priorities. They receive briefings about the pressing issues facing the agencies and immediate tasks that the president-elect must undertake on Day 1.
This crucial time period in November is when the incoming president's team typically devises plans for carrying out top policy priorities and develops a budget proposal that will be presented early the next year, defining the administration's goals and laying out a pathway for achieving them.
20 Things Donald Trump Said He Wanted to Get Rid of as President
Some of the parts of the government that Mr. Trump promised to dismantle if he was elected.
As of Wednesday evening, nobody from Mr. Trump's transition team had arrived at a federal agency to begin the review process, according to Obama administration officials.
Personnel is policy
The transition team typically works quickly, based on plans put in place months before, to recruit, vet and hire the 4,000 presidential appointees needed to run the government, including about 1,000 who will require Senate confirmation. Presidential candidates typically pre-vet hundreds of potential appointees well before the election, cognizant of how quickly they must move once elected to build out their teams.
The Obama administration, which found the process cumbersome and the government's mechanisms for managing it outdated in 2008, has built a new software system for the president-elect to track candidates for the appointments and process those selected.
According to the independent, nonpartisan Center for Presidential Transition, a project of the Partnership for Public Service, the president-elect should aim to select 50 top cabinet appointees and key White House personnel before Thanksgiving.
Preparing for the worst
Since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, national security preparedness has taken on outsized importance in transition planning. In January 2009, the week before Mr. Obama was inaugurated, the Bush administration held a war-game exercise in the White House Situation Room, simulating a series of explosions in American cities so that current national security officials could guide incoming aides on how to respond to such an attack.
The Obama administration is planning two such exercises for Mr. Trump's team, one in December and one in January. As of Tuesday, Mr. Trump had dismissed two top national security officials on his transition team, leaving the question of who might attend such sessions up in the air for the time being.

Antonio Cromartie, father of 10, had vasectomy
Antonio Cromartie is the father of 10 children from eight women. Apparently, that's enough.
In the new book about the 2011 Jets, "Collision Low Crossers: A Year Inside the Turbulent World of NFL Football" written by Nicholas Dawidoff, Cromartie reveals that he received a vasectomy "late in the 2011 season." The New York Post reported that detail in the new book.
"I got snipped," Cromartie tells Dawidoff.
The book goes on: "Eric Smith surveyed the jubilant, excised corneback and said fondly, 'I wish it had calmed him down!'"
Cromartie is now married. He and his wife, Terricka Cason, have been married since 2010 and have two children together. On HBO's "Hard Knocks" in 2010, Cromartie struggled to remember the names of all of his children.
The book will be released next week.

Craft Brewers Get Canned
By Christopher Furnari
Shaking off their lowbrow reputation as only having value as a conveyance for products like Natural Light, cans have become an increasingly popular packaging format for craft beer.
In fact, larger companies like Sierra Nevada and Magic Hat, both of which recently made announcements about adding canned packages to some of their key brands, are following the example of Colorado-based brewery Oskar Blues, which has become one of the fastest-growing craft producers in the country via canned selections like Dale's Pale Ale.
That's not to say that cans are dominant – as of 2010, only 3 percent of total craft beer volume was canned, according to craft beer industry group the Brewers Association. The top-selling 25 SKUs in craft beer are all bottled as well, according to retailing information service Symphony/IRI Group.
Nevertheless, things have come a long way from when Oskar Blues' founder Dale Katechis took a chance in 2002 by installing a canning line. In September of 2009, Charlie Papazian, president of the craft beer trade group the Brewers' Association, put the number of craft breweries that can at 52; now, the same group puts the number over 100. Craftcans.com, a website that started up 11 months ago for the purpose of tracking craft beer in cans puts the number at 117 breweries and 309 craft-brewed canned beers.
While bottles tend to be more frequently associated with high-end products, cans do offer brewers advantages the bottle cannot. They block ultra-violet light, which can ruin a beer. Also, the filling and sealing process for cans not only removes more oxygen than for bottles, it also does a better job of keeping it out once sealed, increasing freshness. Canned beers also go more easily to places bottles cannot, such as camping, fishing and to the beach.
Consumers are responding to the increased supply: 2010 IRI data shows that craft beer in cans is up significantly across all channels. In the food channel alone, 12-packs are up 61 percent, while 6-packs are up over 91 percent.
"It's really starting to turn right now," said Chad Melis, the Marketing Director for Oskar Blues. "Now we are able to provide information that shows distributors how we are can provide healthy revenue streams for them."
For some breweries, those healthy revenues will come from marginal increases. Sierra Nevada's canning line will initially be dedicated to its popular Pale Ale and Torpedo Extra IPA, both of which are top sellers. But smaller startups, like Maine-based Baxter Brewing, will rely on cans exclusively as they try to get their products out to consumers – and at the rate canned crafts are growing, their risky decision might be whether or not they should move into bottles.

It was a dark and stormy night; Meg Murry, her small brother Charles Wallace, and her mother had come down to the kitchen for a midnight snack when they were upset by the arrival of a most disturbing stranger.
This is the 50th anniversary year of that opening sentence; the 50th anniversary of the publication of Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time. But before she published her Newbery Award-winning science fantasy book, L'Engle wrote for and edited the Smith College Monthly. She was a member of the Class of 1941, graduating cum laude with a degree in English.
Madeleine L'Engle Camp was the first Editor-in-Chief of the new Smith College Monthly, a publication which made its debut on campus in October 1940. The magazine had had an earlier life at Smith from 1893 to 1930 before fading away. L'Engle brought it back with a full editorial, business, and circulation staff.
The magazine featured political essays and opinion pieces, book reviews, fiction, and poetry by students and, occasionally, by faculty members. The managing editor at that time was Bettye Naomi Goldstein, Class of 1942 — better known today by her married name, Betty Friedan. We imagine it would have been interesting to hear the conversations at those editorial meetings!
Along with editorials, L'Engle published two short stories and a long poem in the pages of the Monthly.
Smith awarded L'Engle an honorary degree in 1986. According to the Smith Alumnae Quarterly, L'Engle told students in a discussion on campus in 1997 that honesty is the most important quality to successful storytelling. "If my readers don't believe it, then it's not true," she said.
Here's the book trailer for Wrinkle in Time's 50th anniversary edition to inspire you to read our alumna's story again or for the very first time.

A few months back, I talked about h-blur technique. This involves shifting every other scanline over 1 pixel, then revert back and by to the interleaved set of scanlines. Rinse/repeat. But during some tests, I found some strange artifacts with PCE's mid res mode.
I was looking over some CoCo 3 stuff the other week (from some light web surfing). Came across this article/post by Potatohead (you might know him from the Atari 8bit scene). Long story short, he created a 256 color mode for the CoCo 3. It only works on NTSC video (composite or RF). But the idea behind it was pretty interesting. When you have exact multiples of the color sub carrier frequencies, you get specific bleed over into the chroma field. When it's not an exact multiple, you get rainbow artifacts instead (see Genesis, NES, etc). It works because the pixels are higher resolution than what the frequency can sustain. When the frequency of Y is not an exact multiple of C, then you can use filters to comb through and get back some of the resolution of Y. But this isn't the case when you have exact multiples of C.
Coco 3 has a 4x multiple mode of C. Potatohead uses 4 shades of grey at a 14.318mhz dot clock. The patterns accumulator and bleed over into the Chroma channel. By using shades other than grey, you can 'tint' those 256 colors. Other systems has used this artifact as well, CGA/Apple/CoCo1&2. Pretty cool. But how does this apply to the PCE? Easy. The PCE has a resolution that's an exact multiple of C as well. The mid resolution (dot clock 7.159mhz). If you turn off h-filter bit in the VCE, and use two pixel groups – you get near-perfect solid colors of those two pixels. Matter of fact, on my NTSC set (a new one at that) it IS perfect. Same on my HD set. And same on my NTSC capture card.
Now, what might come to mind.. is the Genesis. It's known for it's crappy video output (at least for NTSC). But the Genesis isn't an exact multiple of Chroma frequency. It's something like 1.87x the frequency. So you see a rainbow effect because it's out of phase. The PCE mid res mode pretty much has the Genesis high res mode beat – hahaha. Of course, you need to have the h-filter turned off.
The other thing that I noticed, is that the phase of the accumulation is not the same every time. Just like the coco 1/2, where you had to reset the system until you saw the correct red/blue pattern – to continue along playing the game. The PCE phase offset is also random. But you can control it. By turning the h-filter on, and then off, you can have the user/person cycle through until they see the correct pattern. There might be an even better why to automate this, but only if you can force it to a specific phase first (reset it).
Ok, so what are the benefits? A larger master palette for one (4096 colors if my math is right). No flicker at all (this isn't a color cycle thing). You aren't restricted to only using pairs of colors. If you were, you'd be limited to a 172×224 resolution. You can restrict dither in areas of an image where you need color over resolution, horizontally.
10.74mhz and 5.37mhz dot clock will *not* have this property that the 7.159mhz dot clock has. You'd figure 10.74mhz could be similar, since the resolution is so high, but it's not. And with really good filters, you can pull the higher resolution in Y back out of the signal. My capture card does an amazing job of this.
The down side? It won't work in RGB. It also has no effect on PAL systems. But lets be frank, RF and composite are the only official outputs supported by the systems. Yes, RGB was technically available on the back plane of the original core systems – but it need amps and was never officially made available. Not to mention how are you doing to tap RGB when you have a CD addon? Not without opening up the system. The later systems, the Duo units, which are more or less considered the main systems (replacing the core systems) and probably selling more units, completely lack the external means the tap the RGB lines. It requires opening up the system. PAL systems were only realized as an experimental test market, and not PAL soft was ever officially made (the finland demo group that did the NES images ran on PAL modified PCEs). Therefore, I think it's safe to assume this isn't a 'special case' scenario when using this mode. There's enough of a reason why someone could use this, without paying attention to the naysayers (of course, that's if you're targeting the real machine, not emulation or such). And not like with the Genesis, where RGB *was* supported *and* used. And any NTSC artifacting used in games – was completely nullified by RGB setups. Good luck trying to get any emulators to support this type of artifacting though. I don't know of any PCE emulators that even have NTSC filters (yet Kega has it for Genesis emulation. I guess enough games needed it to warrant it's support).
Also, on another note; I think I got my h-blur demos wrong. That's to say, the dithering pattern was wrong. It was checker board for a static image, but that turns each frame into vertical bars (because of how the dither pattern on every other line, aligns up). I guess the proper method would be to *not* phase shift the checker board dither by 1 pixel every other line. That way, it would appear as checker board on ALL frames (less flicker).
Edit: Oh, I also forget to mention. If you turn off the color burst when using this artifacting res, you also get a much larger greyscale range.

Issue 266 — The Paregien Journal — Stan Paregien, Sr., Editor
Speaking of Old Folks
by Stan Paregien Sr.
I have just posted Issue 219 of my "STAN PAREGIEN'S SENIOR MOMENTS" journal. That issue is on the theme of "Speaking of Old Folks" and it is at at http://issuu.com/cowboystan/docs/ . Hope you enjoy it.
Oh, hey, one of my future postings for "SENIOR MOMENTS" will be one on "Autos & Service Stations". That will really be a special issue, with a photo of my dad and the station he ran in Wapanucka, Oklahoma in 1939 and of my uncle Sidney Cauthen and the Phillips 66 he ran in Sweetwater, Texas in the 1950s.
But I need your help: I would really like to have 1950s vintage photos of the following: (1) the Texaco station on Highway 126 one mile south of Piru, Calif.; (2) Dewey's station on Highway 126 in Fillmore, Calif.; (3) any service station on Rt 66 in Stroud, Okla.; and (4) . . . a photo of YOU (yes, you) standing beside the very first car you ever had. Again, I'm really looking for photos taken back in the 1950s or earlier, rather than modern photos. Please send me copies, not the originals; and a note about the location and date of each photo.
I have listed a link, below, the photos taken during the music jam at our house Saturday afternoon. We didn't know what kind of crowd (if any) to expect, given how busy everyone is right now, but we wound up with 22 folks present . . . and eight of those played an instrument. So we had plenty of entertainers and everyone seemed to have a very good time. We had five Rwandan students as our guests and one of them, Aubin, is an excellent guitar player and singer, so he lead us in a number of songs.
One personal highlight for me was in having my ol' buddy Verdonn Blevins (Sand Springs, OK) and his wife Sharonn join us. Verdonn and I go way, way back. Not quite to the Dark Ages, but mighty close.
I first met Verdonn in the mid-1950s at the church where my maternal grandparents (John & Vada Cauthen) worshipped in Sand Springs (the old 4th & Industrial Church of Christ; now the Lakeside Church of Christ). He was already playing some pretty mean hot-licks on his guitar way back then, and he has just gotten better. In 1959-61 he and I each attended the Amarillo (Tx) Bible Training Work, and we even roomed together for a time . . . and double-dated together, and also boxed together at a local boxing gym for a while.
Several folks brought food, so it was a wonderful afternoon of singing Woody Guthrie songs (in honor of this his 100th anniversary of his birth), country and folk songs, gospel songs and Christmas songs. And the icing on the cake getting to share the time with both old friends and new ones.
I have posted all these photos . . . and a few more . . . at my Flickr account — http://www.flickr.com/photos/cowboystan/sets/72157625385482192/ .
Also, Martha Russell of Edmond, Okla., took some video during the jam. She has posted three clips on her Facebook account, posted on Dec. 8, 2012. So just go to Facebook and put in her name and scroll down to Dec. 8th's entries.
If others of you have photos and/or videos of the fun at the jam, please get copies to me ASAP and I'll post them all together. SThanks to each and every person at the jam for making it a big success.
I'm really looking forward to seeing the photos of old service stations, old cars and old people . . . er, I mean, . . . photos of you and your first car. Should be a fun issue.
My personal email address is: email@example.com .
Best wishes to one and all.

Synopsis from Goodreads
Meet Oz . . . he's got a talent for trouble but his heart's always in the right place (well, nearly always).
Uprooted from his friends and former life, Oz finds himself stranded in the sleepy village of Slowleigh. When a joke backfires on the first day at his new school, Oz attracts the attention of Isobel Skinner, the school psycho – but that's just the beginning.
After causing an accident that puts his mum in hospital, Oz isn't exactly popular at home either. His older sister's no help, but then she's got a problem of her own . . . one that's growing bigger by the day.
Oz knows he's got to put things right, but life isn't that simple, especially when the only people still talking to you are a hobbit-obsessed kid and a voice in your own head!
The more I think about it, the more I realise that Dave Cousins is one of my favourite UK authors. I know we have our big names and I love them as much as the rest of people, but I always like finding the ones that aren't the ones that you always read about.
Not that Mr Cousins is an unknown. I mean, if you want to find great YA then it's there for the taking and both Waiting for Gonzo and the fantastic 15 Days Without a Head have been reviewed and talked about a lot over here. However I always get the feeling that when people think of YA books, the UK gets forgotten about.
Which, as a British YA writer and an avid reader and general cheerleader of British YA, reeeally annoys me. Because I know, and I'm sure my fellow British bloggers and people who read British YA, that there are some books that can play with the big guys and, you know what? They can definitely hold their own.
I adored 15 Days Without a Head but I think I loved Waiting for Gonzo more. There was just something about the vibrancy of the writing, the extremely clever story and the brilliant characters that you root for, even when they do stupid things.
Similarly to FDWaH, I didn't really know what this book was about. When you look at the covers, with their bright and eye-catching colours, it would be easy to write them off as juvenile and it's tempting to judge them as flippant and shallow. BUT DON'T. Personally, I love these because they make a refreshing change from the sad looking girls in nighties looking sad and blargh. And I adore that they're relevant to the story.
The thing I loved about Waiting for Gonzo is the way is that Cousins isn't afraid to delve into the darker side of things while maintaining the comedy that I associate him with. The story perfectly matches the poignant moments with the laugh-out-loud scenes to ensure that the book doesn't get tangled up in the angst that some people think should come hand in hand with a contemporary YA book. Just because life is occasionally crap doesn't mean you can't find the funny parts of it and, sometimes, if you don't laugh then the only thing you can do is cry. And I know what I'd rather do. Yes, sometimes it's a little bit silly but sometimes there's no way you can take things seriously or else there's no point. Seeing the funny side of certain parts of life is so vital and it's refreshing to find an author who can see this.
I know this book doesn't seem to be the type of book that I'd be scared about spoilers but well, I kind of am. I would've been so annoyed if I had known about anything in this story because it's so clever. Everything from the title, to the cover, to the seemingly insignificant details of story that you forget about until nearer the end: they all hint to what the story is about.
But of course I'll say a few things. It is me, after all.
As in FDWaH (I know, I know I keep mentioning this book but hopefully you'll just relent and pick it up and read it!), the relationships between the characters are one of the things that lifts Waiting For Gonzo above other UKYA. I love how he writes family- so funny but so real, with all the little quirks that every family has, all the snipes and the heavy sighs, mixed in with the heart-warming moments and the ones that make you grin like a loon.
Basically, this book was brilliant and is the perfect antidote to the reading slumps that I know a lot of people are going through at the moment. It's fresh, it's different and will be having you laughing all over yourself.
So read it and say hi to Oz for me.

So, what is involved and who needs an Estate Sale?
The General Public believes the Estate Sale Industry is built around a 'negative' situation or occurrence...."If it is an Estate Sale, then someone must have died." This is an incorrect assumption!
What is correct is A Life Changing Decision has occurred.
Reasons vary, including:
1) Someone has bought a new home and does not want existing household items;
2) Downsizing or Rightsizing: Moving into a smaller area home or space. Daily needs not needed at new location...kitchen is smaller; dinner is planned...no need for Pot or Pans to accommodate a 20# turkey or ham anymore;
3) Elder Care: moving to a retirement community. Going to have fun, not going to worry about all this stuff!;
4) Elder Care for Parents: Children have responsibility for remaining household items IN ADDITION to parent care at new facility;
5) Inherited: Property in another locale. It is a burden to try to 'commute' and take care of the property disposition;
6) Liquidation: Everything needs to go!
You may be making this decision today for yourself or for someone else. Estate Planning is a MUST!
How and why can an Estate Sale Company help with these challenges?
Estate Sale companies have two things in common....
1) they know how to organize, and;
2) they have the resources...
a) time,
b) personnel,
c) general knowledge about personal property values,
and are willing to research pricing and customers,
d) repeat Customers,
e) can perform the service without a lot of your time!
Estate Sale companies vary in services they provide:
1) Some can only provide the Sale prep and actual Sale during designated dates;
2) After the Sale, they remove their items, provide you with a Sale/Cash accounting and leave;
3) You arrange donation pickup for remaining items, trash removal, property cleaning, Realtor/Rehabber to sell the House.
ALL POINTS is a Full Service Estate Sale Company.....
we can and will provide you with your needed services!

The High School Curriculum The High School (grades 9-12) curriculum at ISF covers a broad range of subjects. Some of the most distinctive features include: English In Grades 9-12, the English program focuses on preparation for the IGCSE in First or Second Language and Literature, AP® English Literature, and the IB Diploma in English Language and Literature as well as English as a Foreign Language. Mathematics Math in the High School is taught as an integrated discipline, allowing for fluidity across boundaries between different branches of math. In Grade 9, the study of algebra and computing is continued along with the study of geometry. From grades 10-12, ISF students continue on one of two tracks: Math for Arts or Math for Science — both leading to high level qualifications upon completion. German ISF requires the study of German either for native speakers or as a foreign language for all its students from Kindergarten to Grade 10. In a language program designed to mirror that of the state of Hesse, the German program at ISF focuses on writing, reading comprehension, grammar, spelling, and vocabulary at both native and foreign levels. The native-speaker German course integrates the study of classical German literature starting in Grade 7 and continuing up to Grade 12. In grades 11 and 12, students at the German native-speaker level may follow a native language German course in language and literature. Non-native speakers may take foreign language German courses at the IGCSE level followed by an AP® German course or an IB German foreign language course. Science Science in Grade 9 allows ISF students to take modules in biology, chemistry, and physics as separate sciences. In grades 10-12, ISF offers a three-track science curriculum in biology, chemistry, and physics using the school's modern laboratory facilities. Students may take IGCSE, AP®, and IB Diploma exams in the sciences in grades 11 and 12. Social Sciences In grades 9-12, the social science curriculum focuses on the study of history, which allows students to learn about the history of the 20th century and a variety of specialist topics therein. Students gain knowledge and understanding of these time periods through the texts used. Project work in each term allows the students to further explore areas of special interest. Additionally, local German content in history, politics, and institutions is integrated into German lessons. In grades 10-12, we offer a three-track social science curriculum consisting of history, geography, and economics leading to IGCSE, AP®, and IB Diploma exams. Other Languages Beginning in Grade 6, students choose between French or Spanish as their third language. These courses maintain the focus of other language (English/German) classes at ISF. IGCSE exams in these third languages are taken after four years of study, with AP®, or IB Diploma exams to follow. Native Korean language classes are available to students from from Grades 1 to 12, and native Japanese classes are available from grades 9 to 12. Art, Music, Computing, and P.E. Art, music (vocal and instrumental), computing, and P.E. complete the academic program in the High School at ISF. These courses are required in Grade 9 and expose the students to the liberal arts, giving them a broad base of subjects to choose from in grades 10-12. IGCSE, AP®, and IB Diploma exams are available in art, music, and computing in grades 10-12.

Many realize importance of being there for child's first day of school
With thousands of students now back at school in Omaha, hundreds of parents took the governor's message of parental involvement to heart.
Mount View Elementary School had its best turnout Wednesday for the Million Father March -- an effort to increase male involvement in the education of black children.
While the event was created for black men, according to the organization's website, men and women of all races, nationalities and faiths are also encouraged to take children to school on the first day.
One dad we talked with said it's important to be involved every day of the year.
"I feel like it's very important to be that role model for your kids and show the principal and other teachers you give them support," Omari Bynum said.
It wasn't just dads. Moms arrived, too, with the same message.
"Education is key for our children, and we want to make sure they have all the abilities and all the tools they need, especially with parenting because it starts at home," said Latera Tanner.
Nationwide, the event drew an estimated 1.1 million men who took their children to school.
More schools start up Thursday, including Gretna, Fort Calhoun, Louisville, Plattsmouth and Springfield-Platteview.

Born in 1954, Hywel has heard voices since approximately 1965.
He was educated in Milford Haven in Pembrokeshire and at Stonehouse in Gloucestershire.
He is a Combined Honours Graduate of French and Spanish from Birmingham University.
He possesses a Postgraduate Certificate in Education from Aberystwyth University.
A retired teacher and lecturer of Spanish, he was labelled by psychiatry as a "schizophrenic" in 1983.
His development of mental health problems as a teacher led eventually to being involved in the mental health voluntary sector as a volunteer in Pembrokeshire and elsewhere.
He founded Mind Pembrokeshire, the Pembrokeshire Hearing Voices Group and Hearing Voices Network Cymru.
He regards voice hearers as saints, prophets, shaman, gurus and/or geniuses. Or the potential for such.
Interests: Faith and spirituality, hearing voices, lived experience
"I take ownership of my experience and feel content.
I have been a voice hearer since the age of about eleven.
I was labelled by psychiatry in a certain way in 1983.
However, I think that reincarnation, astrology and complementary therapies can help society in the 21st century.
I may be right in terms of what I think. I may be wrong.
Miguel Unamuno, the 20th century Spanish philosopher said that a religion that does not doubt itself is not a religion. Similarly, a man who does not doubt himself is not a man. A woman who does not doubt herself is not a woman.
I am recovered, a traumatized good.
A principal lesson from my experience is to encourage voice hearers to talk and share experiences."

The Kenyan government has agreed to convert some of Kenya Airways' debt into equity, which means it will own a nearly 50 per cent stake in the troubled carrier, according to state media.
Kenya Airways confirmed in a statement that the government's debt-for-equity deal will give it a 48.9 per cent stake in the airline. The state has given the carrier a loan in shilling and US dollars totalling US$238.1 million and previously held a 29.8 per cent stake.
State media reports lenders have also agreed to convert part of the $217.2 million debt into a 38.1 per cent stake. Air France KLM currently owns 26.7 per cent of the airline.
According to the Financial Times, Kenya Airways has posted losses for the last five years, including a nearly US$253 million loss in 2016/2016. In 2016, the airline reported an operating profit of US$8.7 million, but financing costs far outweighed that figure by almost nine times.

If you're a car enthusiast, consider the countries mentioned in this episode as a list of places that you don't ever want to live. Listen in as the CarStuff guys talk about some of the worst (and most expensive) places in the world to buy a car.
It sounds like something straight out of science fiction -- gigantic train cars suspended inches above the ground by electromagnets, propelled hundreds of miles an hour down tracks that cost hundreds of millions of dollars.
Ice roads are more than just a clever way to truck supplies to isolated areas in the cold winter months. In fact, ice roads have played a meaningful role in history. Join Scott and Ben as they test the ice on this unusual method of transport.
In 1957, Borgward was Germany's second-largest auto manufacturer, right behind Volkswagen. By 1961, the company was bankrupt. But, as you might have guessed, that's not the whole story.
Scott and Ben have explored unusual car collections across the world, from the Middle East to the U.S. and Europe -- but what about China? Ride along with the guys as they cruise through some of the most opulent car collections in the Middle Kingdom.
In the U.S., most people only see vending machines that sell snacks and beverages -- but that's not the case everywhere. Join Scott and Ben as they give you the facts on China's auto vending machine.

If your shower head isn't pulsing as strongly as usual, the culprit can be mineral deposits from hard water. Dissolve obstructions overnight in a bath of white vinegar. Place 1/2 cup white vinegar in a plastic food storage bag, and pull the bag up around the shower head. Secure with a rubber band for 8-12 hours to restore shower flow to full strength.
Multi-user bathrooms can become cluttered and cramped. Assign each family member a flat-bottomed plastic caddy from the dollar store to hold personal care items. Toss brushes, shampoo and body care bottles and makeup into the caddy to keep bathroom surfaces neat ... and organized!

The Roskilde Festival, an annual music festival held south of Roskilde in Denmark, is one of the biggest music festivals in Europe and the largest in Northern Europe. The festival, a nonprofit that donates all profits to charity after each festival, supports humanitarian, cultural and non-profit projects all over the world.
During the week, nine stages host more than 180 acts—most of them hip artists. Appearances have included the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Neil Young, The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Pharrel Williams and Stevie Wonder. The festival is well known for presenting a wide variety of acts in many genres.
130,000 people attend the festival each year, which makes the festival area a short-term village for celebration and fun. There is also a backstage area where artists, media and musicians make connections and forge deals. This all goes down at the Backstage Village, organized by VEGA.
In 2016, festival attendees in total consumed 1 million litres of beer (approximately 264,000 gallons) as well as 30,000 litres (8,000 gallons) of wine and nearly 108,000 kilograms (240,000 pounds) of ice cubes.
In the three bars in the Backstage Village, VEGA sells more than 4.000 litres of beer, as well as sodas, liquor and other beverages. Managing this volume of consumption and accounting for it afterward had become daunting. VEGA needed a lightweight, fully custom app for managing the entire process that would be flexible enough to accommodate the venue's other uses.

6 October - "It's a no-brainer"
It is the season for consultations. The Blackwall relief road otherwise known
as the Silvertown Tunnel now and the Gallions and Belvedere proposals in late November.
Click image for the 'Have your say'.
For an alternative view of these proposals there is 'Say No To Silvertown Tunnel'.
Personally I have never been convinced by the argument that the 'extra resilience' a new tunnel will provide for Blackwall will increase congestion and not reduce it. As a regular off-peak tunnel user the unpredictability of the journey time is a constant nuisance and turning off the car's fresh air intake on the approach road is a necessity.
Air pollution from diesel powered vehicles is undoubtedly a problem and TfL's answer to that is that faster moving traffic will mitigate the problem.
A new tunnel would not become available until 2023 and one would hope that the recent revelations about Volkswagen will lead to a reduction in the number of diesel engines by then. The move towards electric power is sure to have gathered pace too.
The alternative to the various TfL proposals is to leave the area for which it is responsible with the same road crossing facilities as were in existence 48 years ago.
• First Blackwall Tunnel : 1896
• First Dartford Tunnel : 1963
• Second Blackwall Tunnel : l967
• Second Dartford Tunnel : 1980
• Dartford Bridge : 1991
With the Conservative Party announcing at their conference this week a renewed emphasis on infrastructure and the appointment of Lord It's A No Brainer Adonis to the new National Infrastructure Commission the direction of travel looks pretty clear to me.
But if the tunnel is to be just another bus lane it is a complete waste of money.
Video best played with the sound off. There is no commentary and the music is pathetic.

Google has just launched Google Voice Search for Desktop (June 15, 2011) currently working on Google Chrome browsers. This is an extension to the original Google Voice app for smartphones. SERP Zebra has been impressed by the voice recognition software's ability to understand different accents and systematically show correct results.
The new desktop version will for sure get some new audience for instance among the field of education. For the mobile app users who have been enjoying automated local search results without having to "say" the region, the Google Voice Search for Desktop version will not be a disappointment either: The Google Voice Search for Desktop features a similar location based search intelligence as with the smartphone apps. For instance, if your computer's IP address is based in Dallas TX, and you want to search for Thai restaurants in Dallas, you don't need to "say" the city "Dallas". (The location based search feature is even more accurate on smartphones as the software is tied to the phone's GPS.)
SERP Zebra tested both the Google Voice Search for Desktop and the Google Voice Search for iPhone App. The voice recognition ability was equally strong on both platforms. SERP Zebra is happy to report that the search test for "zebra photos" worked well:
Media by Google:
Google Voice Search for Desktop, New promo video by Google
Google Mobile App for iPhone with Voice Search

Let SERP Zebra know what you think about the Google Voice Search for Desktop. Do you think this will be a popular search feature, or is just an extension to the phone apps? Leave your comments below.
