Dalton Smith Hayes World War I Memoir
Dalton Hayes was born June 22,1898 at Spiegel Grove, Fremont, Ohio. He was the son of Harry Eaton Smith and Fanny Hayes. He was the grandson of President and Mrs. Rutherford B. Hayes. Dalton was a freshman at Princeton University when the U.S. entered World War I in April 1917. He joined the Princeton Battalion headed by Captain Stuart Heintzelman, U.S. Army. Later, he trained with the Princeton Officer Training Corps. On September 10, 1917, he enlisted at Camp Mills, Long Island in the 69th New York Regiment of the famous 42nd Rainbow Division in Co. D 165th Infantry. He served in the A.E.F. in all engagements participated in by his company, until he was seriously wounded on October 14, 1918.
On the twelfth of October 1918 we were lying in reserve, dug in on the reverse slope of a high hill, supporting our third battalion who were holding the front line. We had come to the Argonne direct from the reduction of the St. Mihiel salient by truck and by forced marches, and had been in our present position for two or three days awaiting our turn to go into the fighting, We were somewhere to the left of Montfaucon exactly where I cannot state as I saw no towns or villages after we left the main road.
Early on the morning of the thirteenth my platoon commander Lt. Catts or Ketch, I never did know which, called the platoon up and announced that the Germans had quit and that Peace would probably be signed in a fortnight. You can imagine the cheers and rejoicing that went up! "But," continued the Lieutenant, "our third battalion is to go over early tomorrow morning, and one platoon from each company of the first battalion is to be attached as moppers up to an attacking company." My platoon has been given the honor from D company. We will assemble here at 5:30 this evening [for orders] under full equipment.
Lovely! Here we are, peace already to be signed and we poor devils going over to see jerry the next day. As moppers up too! A hell of a job!
The moppers up follows immediately behind the first wave, takes charge of prisoners, sees that no enemy men are left overlooked in cellars and dugouts, and combs out woods which may have been left unsearched by the attacking wave. He generally carries beaucoup hand grenades which make a welcome addition to the trifling weight he has already strapped on. He can't even have the sport of firing in all directions as he advances because of the men in front of him. All in all it is a thankless job. When he comes to a dugout or likely looking cellar he pulls the pin of a grenade and yells down, "Come on out you various unmentionables." If any come out they are escorted to the rear and if not, he throws his grenade down to make sure they're not merely playing possum. More often than not he throws his grenade and then asks the inmates in a polite tone to come forth. In these cases the report is invariably the same – "Dug out encountered, no inmates – now." Whereupon the Loot. winks and the party moves on to the next hole.
However, at 5:30 on the evening of the 13th our platoon set forth for the front line only a kilometer ahead. As Ian Hay has already said, if a hundred men are walking in single file in the dark the last man invariably has to run all the time in order not to be last. True. On this occasion I was the last man with the ironical order to keep the column closed up. I had more than I cared to do to keep the column in sight much less keep it closed up. Finally the nightmare came to an end
as all nightmares must and we were at the front line. It
had only taken three hours (a record) and we had only been lost twice (another
record) so we were correspondingly elated. After we received our orders
attaching us to H company we had only to dig ourselves in and wait for 8:30
a.m. October 14th, which was the "zero hour."
We spent a lonely night. It was cold and was raining with the gentle persistence with which it always rains in northern France. We were very hungry and to add to our comfort we had not had a bath or change for some six weeks, and consequently our little Play-mates – but enough, enough. Then, too, Jerry seemed to know of our fell intentions and bombarded us with everything but the kitchen sink. At about 4:30 just as it began to look as if there might be another day in the distant future he tried to raid us. He was repulsed without much trouble. At 7:30 our barrage which had raged since five o' clock increased materially until 8:29:55 when it lifted, and we started over.
As we emerged from the shelter of the woods into the open one could see the ? lines of men reaching for miles apparently on each side of us. My platoon was about fifty yards in the rear of "K" company. We were divided into three groups with about three squads each advancing in open order. Each group was under the command of a sergeant or acting sergeant with two corporals next in command.
Our line advanced with no trouble up a slight grade but when we reached the top we encountered difficulties. There was a long downward slope ahead of us, then a rather steep hill on the top of which the jerries were deeply dug in. Their artillery was laying down a fearful barrage of 77s and 150s mixed with heavies and the storm of machine gun fire was terrible. Our front line wavered but pressed on and we followed taking advantage of all the cover we could find. Early in the fight we lost track of our lieutenant and the other groups but after a conference in a large shell hole Serg. Smith, Corp. Hogan and myself decided to press on immediately in the rear of K company as long as we could. At this time there were only six privates and us three N.C.O.'s left in our group and the casualties in the company ahead were very great although reinforcements were constantly coming up.
At about eleven o'clock we had pushed about two miles beyond our own front line and were holding on just below the crest of a large hill. The enemy machine guns were actually lowering the level of the crest. There was a sunken road about fifty yards in back of the remnants of K company and into this the "moppers up" leaped with a great sigh of relief, on my part at least! We were protected from the front and were practically safe from shell fire so we congratulated ourselves on our good luck. There were at least two German snipers who could see the road for we saw these two and I was sitting at the side of the road smoking a hard-earned cigarette when I felt a blow on the back exactly as if someone had hit me with a hammer on the shoulder blade. My left arm and side went numb, but there was no pain. The force of the bullet knocked me flat and dazed me for a moment or two. Then I tied the shoulder up with a little assistance and started for the rear, rejoicing.
I don't remember ever having been quite as scared as I was just then. Of course you're frightened more or less all the time at the front but at this time I was absolutely terror-stricken.
I found the first aid-station which had moved with the advance about a kilo to the rear. Here I got my blue tag and started for the ambulance station. That was about three kilos further on and I was pretty well all in when I finally got there, I had a new dressing put on there and got in an ambulance bound for the 160th Field Hospital. This was a ride of perhaps six kilos and when I got there I felt still more all in. The roads were in fearful shape and since every jar felt lovely, it was an awful trip. I got a cup of cocoa here and a jab in the tummy with A.T. mixture. It was about two when I started off again in another ambulance.
It was At about nine or ten in the evening when we
arrived at Mobile Hospital No. 10 I think it was. In the mean time my wound had
gotten cold and stiff and every movement was agony.
I was X-rayed here and immediately dragged off to the operating room and laid on the table. By this time I was so exhausted that I fell asleep on the table! They roused and gave me an Army jag and I woke up next morning in a ward in a nice white bed clothed in pajamas with American nurses all over. Absolute Heaven. We got two square meals and lots of chocolate and cigarettes and to my sorrow at five-thirty a lot of us were evacuated. At the station we saw Pershing and then were loaded on a French R.C. train. Then there was a nightmare trip of twenty seven hours with two meals and no cigarettes to help out. I was flat on my back on a very hard litter and could not move hand or foot. The Lord preserve me from another ride like that! Every jar on that rotten road bed sent a twinge all through me, Finally at seven in the evening on the 16th we landed in Beaune and I was taken to B.H. 61 given a bath and assigned to bed 39 ward 7. They gave me supper and I immediately fell asleep.
Of course I wrote Aunt Mary and sent a telegram to the Colonel and about ten days later Uncle Webb showed up. Later Aunt Mary came along and on the 16th of Nov. we all started for Nice. (Uncle Webb having secured a month's leave for me in a most miraculous manner.)
The Riviera Leave Area was perfectly wonderful and I had a fine time. Every day I got my wounds dressed at the Hospital American. After nearly a month at Nice during which I made trips to Ca?, Menton, and Monte Carlo, news came that I was to be invalided home. Glorious news! Uncle Webb had again come to the fore. We started from Bordeaux Dec. 17 on the Niagara of the French line arriving in New York the 29th. We had expected to reach there before Christmas but the sailing date was put off four times.
We had an uneventful passage and none too good accommodations, but it was deluxe compared to the way I had come over in 1917 via transport Ascania.

Recovering from Wounds Suffered in the Agronne
For several days prior to Sept. 12 we had been bivouacked in a dense wood miles from anywhere waiting for the big offensive which we knew was to come off sometime in the near future
For two or three weeks we had been having practice maneuvers a safe distance behind the lines at Viscount and we knew the signs. Then suddenly had come the order to hike and we had hiked – Lord! How we had hiked – always at night and always getting nearer and nearer to the rumbling of the guns. Finally we had reached a spot near Toul and there we had been waiting.
On the 11th we non-coms – proud title recently acquired – were called by our respective platoon commanders and the objectives and signals etc were explained to us. The first attack was to be made by the 1st battalion. "As usual" we groaned and cursed Wild Bill Donovan, our major, heartily. A company and G company were to strike the first blow with D and B in support in the second wave. This was a grain of comfort to those of us in D company. The barrage was to start at one A.M. and the infantry was to go over at five o'clock.
The officer very candidly told us that it would be a hard proposition and that preparations had been made for 50,000 casualties at least. Charming information! In that case it would probably mean the end of the Rainbow Division – a glorious end it is true but what good is glory to dead men?! We spent the rest of the day writing farewell letters and praying to get shot in the leg in the first minute of fighting.
At four o' clock in the afternoon we were all packed and stood around in the rain until half past eight when we at last started off.
It was about 10 kilos to the front and we arrived after the barrage had started. Instead of getting into trenches we lined up in shell formation at the rear of A company. It was still raining very heavily and the ground was simply a quagmire. We had hiked for over four hours in the ditch on the side of the road – infantry always does this for some inexplicable reason – we were soaked through and the wind blowing right through us. It was only one-thirty and we were to wait there until five when we were to go like lambs to the slaughter. Jerry had a particularly strong nest of m.g. directly in front of us, we had been told and though it was practically shell-proof the artillery would try to wipe it out --- but some of the boys fell asleep. They have my wonder and admiration but I lay awake cursing the war, the Army and myself and shivered, not altogether from the cold.
At 5 minutes to five our machine gun barrage started – I would have sworn it was the Germans – and five minutes later we started through the lanes cut in our wire during the night. Every minute I expected would be my last, but the long seconds flew by and I was unhurt – nobody was hurt! The silence in front was absolutely uncanny! Presently we came across some smashed wire and a kind of furrow which five hours before had been a trench much as the one we had just left.
Not until then did the glorious truth come over us. The Germans had evacuated practically without firing a shot. A few prisoners dirty and scared, more dead than alive, passed us. One who could speak English said "Metz (?) gone for sure. Goodbye Germany," and began to weep bitterly.
Somehow the pathos of it all struck me, and we went forward without any of the jubilation which might have been expected.
At about eleven o' clock we relieved A company and took up the advance as leading company. We took the first town, Pannes, that day and found about 200 Boches hidden in cellars. A great majority of them were dead drunk. The canteen leader was the first one to run and the troops had raided his place. There were no officers there and we were told that when the news of the attack came all the officers had left in motor cars leaving the N.C.O.s in charge. We dug in on the hills around Pannes that night and had a pretty poor nest as it was cold and rained steadily.
Early next morning we started off and to our surprise could not come in contact with the enemy. We proceeded slowly and continuously for two or three days, passing several villages and
and camps in the woods. On the third day, Sept 15th
we had advanced about twenty kilos and were in a tiny village
(something-or-other Fenme.) We dug in and French troops came up and relieved
us. We had to patrol every night and almost every day in front of the French to
find what Jerry was doing
It was on one of these daylight patrols that I had what I consider my narrowest escape from death or capture, and at the same time was the most foolish example of inefficiency of command. There were three French N.C.Os, one American sergeant, and two squads of Americans, eighteen men. We had orders to proceed from our front line until we came in contact with the enemy. We proceeded along a road which led straight toward Germany, ten men on one side and eight on the other, in intervals so that we covered about 75 or 80 yds. on each side. We had no one on either flank and were to go on until we reached some Germans. At about 3 in the afternoon we were some four kilometres from our supporting outposts and no idea at all what was on our flanks.
We stopped here and sent back word of our position and what we had seen. Orders came back to "advance until fired upon." (These words are the ones used by the way.) There was nothing to do but obey and so we started forward again. Soon we came near the end of the woods and could see a narrow lake in the open and then more woods. When we were about 50 yards from the open space, the French sergeant suddenly halted and half-turned around. Then Hades broke loose. 50 or 75 Boches sprung in to view in front of us and a very harassing fire broke out on both both flanks. I saw the French sergeant's helmet give a jerk and he slumped in a heap. Our sergeant gave the word to fall back and we did so without any hesitation at all. Those Heinies were coming on the run and they sure did look big! They outnumbered us at least five to one and our movements to the rear were precipitous to say the least. In some mysterious way my pack was lost, I guess I just ran right out from under it, but it was an awfully heavy thing anyway and retarded me considerably!! When we got to our outposts there were only 10 of us left and I don't yet understand how so many escaped. It seemed as if a line of bees was buzzing around our ears. One of our chaps had 4 bullets through his pack, luckily from the side, and one through his helmet.
The Germans had only followed about 50 yds or so evidently fearing an ambush so when a combat patrol went out one wounded man was rescued and the Fritzes were pushed back across the lake.
The next night we were relieved and the 89th American Division took our places. We went back and pitched pup tents in the woods and three days later took over the front line and finished digging trenches and consolidating our positions for the winter. After three or four days we were relieved again and after a day's rest in the woods (Rest is the Army's term - not mine) we hiked and went in trucks right into the Argonne drive which had started Sept 26.
It seemed to us that the 42nd was the only American division in France, for on the 18th of July we had just come from the Champagne in front of Chalons-sur-Marne, where we had helped the French repel the Crown Prince's desperate attempt to reach Paris and now on the 27th we were told we were to attack in the morning following our counter-drive at Chateau-Thierry. We had hiked and come by motor truck to Ehrids (?) where we relieved the 26th Division and our 84th Brigade (Alabama and Iowa) started the ball rolling again towards the Burcq (?).
When we entered it the fires were still going and equipment of every sort was scattered around.
We formed attacking lines in the cover of the woods and pushed across the river on the first attempt. Then for three days there was a desperate struggle for possession of the heights across the river Every man in the regiment must remember the Meurcy Ferme (?) which was captured and lost half a dozen times. Finally the French captured on left captured the town of Fire-en-Tandenois (?) and our foothold in the hills especially Hill 212. On this hill alone after the fighting was over the bodies of over three hundred of both sides were buried. During this week I was a stretcher-bearer and we were on the ground (?) every minute.
The stretcher-bearer has a rotten job in open warfare. He advances with the attack and has not got even the feeling of protection that a rifle gives. Then he has the pleasure of carrying the seriously wounded back for attendance. And after the first hundred yards a wounded man is awfully heavy! Naturally he's under fire as much as the rest, but he can't dodge shells or fall flat when he hears one coming because of the wounded man, at Chateau-Thierry our "carry" was about a half-mile, and over almost impassable ground.
When we were finally relieved by the 4th Division we had driven Fritzie more than fifteen kilos and almost to the Vesta (?) River. In D company there were ninety odd men left out of 250 and we were not the worst off by any means. We moved back into the woods and camped in pup tents for about a week, where practically every man was down with dysentery. I imagine it was caused by drinking water from the river and polluted sources, and a steady diet of nothing but canned beef and mighty little of that. For four days we had nothing but our reserve rations to go on, as our kitchen got lost. D Company's kitchen seemed to be lost most of the time. It was mainly the last one in on hikes and at last and in the Argonne had the misfortune to stop a six inch shell which ruined its [faculty?] and usefulness forever.
We hiked back almost thirty kilometers and got in the 40 hommes 8 chevaux box-cars and ended up in almost the same spot where we had trained when we first arrived in France, near Neuf (?) Chateau. We had confidently expected a furlough here and then a long rest but no – in fact we never did get a furlough in France, unless a 24-hour pass to Paris can be called one, and only 20% of the division got that. I was one of the lucky ones and had a marvelous time.
The crowds and theatres & cafes almost made me forget that there was a war. And the Parisiennes or "Leetle cheechens" (?) as they liked to be called!!
We had two weeks rest (with reveille at 6:00 and drills all day) and then two weeks intense attack drill and we're off to St. Mihiel.
Our first taste of real warfare came on July 15 in the Champagne near Chalons-sur-Marne. We had finished our training in the trenches of Lorraine in the middle of June and after a short rest had arrived on about the third of July at the Camp de Unalons, famous for having been built by Napoleon and from whence the French went out to defeat in 1870.

Cynthia Wakeham's Money
Cynthia Wakeham's Money
A melodramatic mystery, in which a young lawyer is summoned to the house of a dying woman to draw up her will. In a search for her legitimate heirs, he encounters a beautiful woman with a mysterious scar. Events then take a very sinister turn…
Book Excerpt
ded street which in the daylight and in the full brightness of a summer's sun I had usually found so attractive, but which at night and under the circumstances which had brought me there looked both sombre and forbidding. However I had not come upon an errand of pleasure, so I did not spend much time in contemplating my surroundings, but beckoning to the conductor of the street-car on which I was riding, I asked him if he knew Mrs. Wakeham's house, and when he nodded, asked him to set me down before it. I thought he gave me a queer look, but as his attention was at that moment diverted, I could not be sure of it, and before he came my way again the car had stopped and he was motioning to me to alight.
"'That is the house,' said he, pointing to two huge gate-posts glimmering whitely in the light of a street-lamp opposite, and I was on the sidewalk and in front of the two posts before I remembered that a man on the rear platform of the car had muttered as I stepped by him: 'A visitor for Widow Wakeham, e

Mr. K, a math teacher, in his blog post Math Stories : Quick check for understanding, suggested asking students the following question:
Pick two numbers, randomly. What is the probability that the product will be even?
This question illustrates the standard problem with the way high schools teach (or rather don't teach) probability, a problem that still plagues scientists even after they are in grad school. The problem is that "picking randomly" is not an adequate description of a process, as no distribution is given. For example, I can pick two numbers randomly and always get an odd number, if the distribution I pick from has zero probability on the evens.
There are other problems with the question, like what Mr. K meant by "numbers", but we'll be generous and assume that in his classes "number" means "integer", since the odd/even question otherwise makes no sense. It is also possible that Mr. K meant "decimal digit", in which case the complaint I'm making below does not apply, and I'd have to change my critique to the sloppiness of using "number" to mean "digit", but in my experience math teachers are fairly careful about the number/digit distinction, but sloppy about the word "randomly", and so I will continue as if the problem is with the use of "randomly". (Aside: that last, overly long sentence is an informal version of Bayesian reasoning.)
Often, when no distribution is given, people mean that they used the uniform distribution. More specifically, they usually mean an independent, identically distributed process (i.i.d) drawn from a uniform distribution, that is, one where each item is chosen independently from the same underlying distribution, which happens to be a uniform distribution. This is a mathematically easy choice to analyze, though it is often a poor choice for a null model. Bayesian statistics was panned for centuries, because of the poor choice of uniform priors in the initial development of the methods.
But for a countably infinite set like the integers, a uniform distribution can't be defined—some numbers must be more probable than others or you can't get the probabilities to sum to one over all integers. (You have the same problem with integrals if you choose the real or complex numbers.) That means the standard meaning of "pick randomly" doesn't exist, and the question is badly formed.
Mr. K probably meant for students to pick integers randomly from a distribution in which odd and even numbers were equally likely, in which case his question becomes trivial, with the probability of an even product being ¾. We can even go a step further and say that if the probability of choosing an odd number in the underlying distribution is p, then the probability that the product is odd is p2.
The important part of the question is not the properties of odd and even numbers or of multiplying probabilities of independent events, which I believe are the understandings that Mr. K was interested in, but the importance of knowing what distribution you are drawing from, which I don't believe Mr. K gave any thought to.
The same problem comes up all the time when biologists (and, presumably, other scientists) try to use p-values to establish statistical significance. The p-value is thought of as the probability that the observed data could have arisen "by chance", which is as bad a phrase as "picking randomly". The crucial question is what that "chance" process is—for what distribution are you computing the probability? This is the "null model" or "null hypothesis" and for the p-value to be at all interpretable, the null model must include every phenomenon other than the hypothesis you are testing. That is, your null hypothesis is as complicated as your hypothesis, but leaves out one (hopefully crucial) idea.
Most scientists choose a mathematically tractable model that is unlikely to fit any real data (like the i.i.d. with a uniform distribution). They then show that this ridiculously simple model can't explain the data, and jump from there to the conclusion that their hypothesis must be correct (a leap of faith more suitable for theology than science). All that they have really shown is that the stupid model is wrong, which everyone already knew. (Except sometimes the data is so meager that even the stupid, obviously wrong model can't be ruled out by frequentist techniques, but those papers rarely get published.)
A large fraction of the papers I read or referee have badly designed null models, often invalidating their conclusions, so I believe that this sloppiness about the use of the word "randomly" is a serious problem in the education of future generations of scientists. And it isn't hard to rewrite questions to avoid the sloppiness by being explicit about the random process:
- Pick two integers from a distribution in which odd and even numbers equally likely.
- Pick two numbers uniformly with replacement from the integers from 1 to 10.
- Roll a fair 20-sided die twice.
- Draw a card from a deck containing just ace through 10 cards (no face cards). Replace the card, shuffle the deck, and draw again.
For the age group that Mr. K teaches, the dice or card processes are probably the best to use, as the vocabulary used by probability theorists is more likely to confuse than to clarify.

30 Minute (or so) Drawing- "THRUST" by @SamaxAmen
Shaolin Long Fist Kung Fu by Yang Jwing-Ming and Jeffery A. Bolt that I've been toting around for years.Yes. I am that big of a dork about drawing.
Let's move on...
Lots of dudes go super hard on colors, but I generally keep it mad simple. I copied the color scheme of his costume from one of the reference drawings Kurt gave me. I added a messy filtered texture on top instead of coloring the background, which I felt would be too risky for a drawing that's supposed to be fast.
That tied it together okay, I think. I like the black and white better myself, but that's just me. Kurt dug it.
Anyways, If you want to commission me to draw your fave character, you might check my 30 Minute Drawing Sale before I come to my senses and cancel it.

Hello and welcome back to IlluminatiWatcher.com! If you've seen the film called Self/Less with Ryan Reynolds (*who only portrays Van Wilder for like, 5 minutes in the film), than you'll want to keep reading this article! I found several hidden messages that were most likely missed by the masses, but when you break it down you'll find that this film is yet another covert tale of where they want to take us…
First- you can check out the video version of this on the IlluminatiWatcher1 YouTube channel (*subscribe for more!*):
The reason we can say this film has occult undertones will become evident as we step through the repeating symbols and images. For example, the symbolism of the phoenix is utilized several times in the film. The reason we see this is because the phoenix represents the evolved form of mankind; rising from the ashes of its former self.
This is precisely why Damien Hale (the elderly man that eventually transforms into Ryan Reynolds' character- Edward Kidner) was handed a business card that directed him towards a company named "Phoenix Biogenic" at the beginning of the film.
When Damian speaks with Phoenix Biogenic there is a curious phrase spoken that proves the alchemical process. Damian is told that they will "make something out of nothing" and asked if he "feels immortal" (implying he can be made immortal through this reconciliation of opposites).
The connections to the alchemical transformation of man as the "rising phoenix" proves itself even more when we find out that Edward Kidner's fabricated life history shows that he was born in PHOENIX, Arizona.
Should you still have doubts about the phoenix symbolism, we see the same flaming bird in the final scene at the New Orleans Mardi Gras float warehouse.
In that same final scene in New Orleans, we also see a horned bull head- symbolism of the deity named Moloch.
The entire film is warning us of the dangers in taking this path of technology and transhumanism. In the mind of the "Illuminati" they are giving us fair warning of the dangers in this practice, so ultimately the choice will be ours as we do indeed have the free will to do as we choose.
On the other hand, the subtle message of this film is showing us that there is a way out of the mortal form and our physical bodies which are subject to pain and suffering. Edward Kidner chooses the "red pills" in the film to continue down this path- similar to Neo's consumption of the red pill in The Matrix which opens up his third eye of enlightenment and the "freedom" to live free of the pain of being a mortal human.
As part of this process, it appears that the mind is fractured, which is why Edward Kidner's character isn't allowed to look into the mirrors; similar to how Michael Jackson covered up all of the mirrors in his home (allegedly due to the traumatic mind control he once suffered).
In Conclusion
This film was similar to Get Out, in that it conveys a similar message of the true nature of humanity. As I discussed in the Get Out analysis, it's a tale of reconciling opposites and evolving man into something different.
In my opinion, it's an Illuminati concept that they want us to either desire or be fearful of. Perhaps they want us to be fearful of mind transfer technologies so they can be the only ones to utilize it and become immortal?
It's all the same process that the Illuminati did through secret societies, mystery schools, etc.; they believe they have a superior path but aren't willing to fully share it. Why do secret societies keep it a secret if it's so great? They either don't think we (the masses) will understand it or they are worried that we'll see through the Luciferian agenda behind it.
In the film they refer to this "shedding neorology" as the process that transfers consciousness from one body to another, while also citing that its founder is Dr Frank Jensen (the godfather of transhumanism in the film). So it seems that we have yet another transhumanism tale, but this time it shows us an aristocrat elitist taking advantage of the lower class.
To me it's not a coincidence that the aristocrat is named Damien Hale- a reference to the son of Satan (as well as Hale=Hell). They are carving a path to immortality that may have unintended consequences…

What is an enclosed motor starter? Enclosed motor starters are electromechanical switches, comparable to relays. The primary difference between a relay and a starter is that a starter provides overload protection for the motor. With electrically-operated enclosed motor starters, contactors are used for switching the power-carrying conductors. When the coil in the contactor is energised, it produces the electromagnetic field and that pulls the switch contacts. When the coil is de-energised, contacts are pulled back to the normal position by a spring arrangement. How to improve motor starter efficiency? Designing a more energy-efficient motor starter creates cost savings over the lifetime of the equipment. Industrial infrastructures consume more than 31% of the available energy in the world and electrical motors alone represent more than 60% of that energy consumption. The purchase price of a motor also only accounts for 2 to 3% of the overall costs, the remainder of the expense primarily being energy consumption.

In the eyes of the law in Colorado, "stoned" driving is drunk driving. The distinction, or lack thereof, is important because Colorado is one of only four states in which it is legal to purchase, possess, and consume certain amounts of marijuana. The same is true, and has been for a long time, with regard to alcohol. For both substances, however, it is not legal to consume them to the point of impairment and then operate a vehicle. In other words, just as drinking and driving can lead to a DUI arrest, so can smoking or ingesting marijuana and driving. That's right – recreational or medical marijuana use coupled with driving a car, truck or other vehicle can lead to a marijuana DUI arrest. Whether your DUI arrest concerns alcohol, marijuana, or a combination of substances, you are in urgent need of a skilled and experienced Denver DUI attorney.
12% of Colorado DUI Cases Involve Marijuana
Statistics are still being gathered regarding the prevalence of marijuana in Colorado cases. The drug has only been legal since January 1, 2014. As with alcohol, you must be 21 years of age to purchase marijuana, unless there is a medical purpose. While it is legal to drive with marijuana in your car (for the purposes of transporting a legal quantity of it within the state), it is not legal to drive while smoking marijuana or after smoking it to the point of being stoned.
Stoned driving, in the eyes of Colorado law, is an objective, rather than subjective, issue. In other words, it does no matter whether you felt stoned or not before or during driving. If you are pulled over by a Colorado police officer with probable cause that you are driving under the influence, you may be required to take a test to measure the amount of THC (the active ingredient in marijuana) in your system. The fact that it is the test, rather than your subjective view that matters is what makes the measure of stoned driving objective rather subjective. The stoned driving test is commonly a swab of your saliva or blood, and it measures nanograms per milliliter of THC in the bloodstream. If the test produces a measurement of 5ng/ml or higher, the law is allowed to infer that you were driving under the influence of marijuana. Currently, about 12%, or one in every eight individuals arrested in Colorado for DUI, are deemed "stoned drivers" rather than "drunk drivers."
Penalties for Marijuana DUI Conviction the Same as Alcohol DUI Conviction
If you are convicted of DUI in Colorado, you will face the same penalties whether the underlying substance was alcohol or THC. You are looking at fines and fees, suspension of your driver's license, alcohol and drug education, compulsory attendance at a victim impact panel, and even jail time. As such, it is imperative that you rely on the skill of an experienced Colorado DUI defense attorney to protect your rights and mount the strongest possible legal defense.

I recently read an article in Aeon Magazine, which investigates the scientific possibilities and implications of purging one's "bad" memories. * Haunted by news stories and images of traumatized children in the Middle East, and as a teacher to troubled adolescents, I find my opinion is conflicted: memories construct who we are, for-better-or-for-worse, but there are such horrible things that happen…Hungry for more insight into the subject (and a film buff) I decided to re-watch the 2004 film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. In it, introvert Joel Barish (Jim Carrey) meets outgoing Clementine (Kate Winslet) and they start a tumultuous relationship. Then one day, Clementine doesn't recognize Joel and he finds out that she had all of her memories of him removed. Angry and hurt, Joel decides to undergo the same procedure, but in the process of it he finds that he has second thoughts.
Screenwriter Charlie Kaufman is ingenious. His films Being John Malkovich and Adaptation are also high concept ideas that explore neurosis and the possibilities of the mind scientifically and perceptually. The movie begins slowly, as we experience the confusion Joel feels because his girlfriend suddenly doesn't know him, with him. However, once Joel discovers she has had her memories of him wiped out and decides to have the same procedure done on himself, the bulk of the action takes place over one night in his rapidly disintegrating memory. When Joel's subconscious decides that the procedure is a bad idea and he enlists the 'memory' of Clementine to help him escape, the film moves at a rapid pace. Here, director Michel Gondry showcases true visual verve (and most of the effects are created in camera!) as we delve into repressed memories, teenage humiliation, and childhood helplessness. But then a miracle happens — just as Joel's situation seems most hopeless, the tone of the film becomes more hopeful. We travel through Joel's mind back to those initial, profoundly romantic first days with Clementine, and we are able to view both the beginning and the end of a relationship at the exact same time. It's poignant and beautiful. At this moment, Kaufman's objective comes into sharp focus, and we, the viewer, are left to ponder what we've just seen, and to consider whether we would, indeed, purge our minds of painful memories if given the chance. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is a relevant and weird and wonderful film with genuine heart and a thoughtful mind.

A small group of journalists from The Boston Globe reveal the Catholic Church's role in systematically covering up the sexual abuse of children by priests.
Michael Keaton, Liev Schreiber, Rachel McAdams, Mark Ruffalo, and John Slattery play the Pulitzer Prize-winning reporters. Through them, Director Tom McCarthy demonstrates (again) his incredibly understated 'touch' with actors. This ensemble cast is a model of low-key greatness – as is the film itself. There are no ghoulish rape flashbacks or sensationalistic cutaways to a menacing clerical conspiracy behind closed doors. There is just the absolute confidence that the audience will be enthralled as the reporters quietly and quickly go through journalistic procedures, slowly and steadily gathering information, and painstakingly corroborating leads and hunches. Like so many films absorbed with the minutia of daily journalism, Spotlight is a terrifically nerdy process movie.
What I especially liked about this film is its incredibly perceptive sense of how inextricably the Church is woven into the fabric of Boston life. The Church concealed its corruption for so long by applying pressure to the city's legal, political, and journalistic institutions. As Spotlight sifts through the appalling pile of evidence to reveal the Church's horrific cycles of abuse and concealment, we understand that the most galling crime is that it has used its uniquely privileged position in society to exploit its victims (whom they are meant to serve). We also understand that many of us are complicit in allowing this type of oppression to flourish because we don't do anything about it when we see it. Jamey Sheridan and Paul Guilfoyle are two Church-connected friends who try to convince editor Robinson (Keaton) not to publish, and we recognize these characters immediately — they are the members of our decent yet compromised humanity, the proverbial good men who do nothing and therefore allow evil to grow and to thrive.
Sobering, yes, but a very good film with a strong narrative and a fine cast.
Filed under: Published film reviews | Tags: Annette Bening, Comedy Drama film, Julianne Moore, Lisa Cholodenko, Mark Ruffalo
A comedy drama: teenage siblings Joni and Laser live with their two mothers, Nic and Jules, lesbian life partners who both used the same sperm donor to have them. Laser convinces Joni to contact the donor, she does, and he bonds with the teens. Hard-working Nic is wary of the donor, while free-spirited Jules creates a tentative rapport with him and agrees to landscape his garden.
Annette Bening (American Beauty) and Julianne Moore (Children of Men) play Nic and Jules and are completely convincing as a couple. Child-rearing and two decades of marriage has put a strain on their relationship, which is only exacerbated when the sperm donor, Paul, played by Mark Ruffalo, (Shutter Island) enters the picture. The kids are well-adjusted and okay with the inevitability of change, signalled by the entry of Paul, but the adults have a harder time coping.
Astutely directed (Lisa Cholodenko, High Art), this is a keenly observed portrait of marriage tested, and of human behaviour in the face of change. A taut, modern, relevant and funny film whose characters and their actions are utterly relatable.

Last night I made a birthday card for my brother. This is my second shaker card and I must say I really enjoyed using this technique explained by Karen Day on Art Impressions' blog (click on the link for all the details). Very easy and so versatile, it works with so many dies. So I first cut out my frame out of a coca-cola box 4 times and one last time from a blue patterned paper.
I kept the center of the blue die cut to use it as my shaker background. I stamped and embossed in white the music notes and my sentiment (Happy Birthday). I added the sequins and colored the hoot's hat with the same colors. As always, I added some Stickles on the hat. My card's background is made with a patterned paper and I glued on it a flower I cut out from another patterned paper. The hoot is mounted on 2D foam and on the frame. Voilà!
I'm submitting my card to these challenges:
- Art Impressions challenge #178 Shake, rattle & roll
- Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge: Recycle/Upcycle
- Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge: Shake it up
- Simon Says Stamp Work It Wednesday January: Use something new (used a new technique)
- Seize the birthday: Anything goes
Material used:
- Stamps: Music Notes (Art Impressions), Birthday hoot (Art Impressions), Bonne fête (Simple à souhait)
- Die: Labels 2 (Spellbinders)
- Spectrum Noir markers
- Patterned papers: Recollections, DCVW
- Sequins
- Stickles: Stardust (Ranger)

Verse one, DLO:
My anger is justified, many of us have died
And been incarcerated, just for trying to survive.
Protest? I'm thinking Teflon vest
We peaceful march while cops continue to blast techs
Laying black people to rest, slug up in ya chest
Life taken away before potential manifest
While we pray to God but never seem to get an answer
Institutionalize racism is striking like cancer
Shooting us with hand ups,
Knee in the back while on the ground
Reach for your wallet and catch 44 rounds
Choking us until the last breath
and then the jury meet and justified the cold death
Stop and frisk, being black shouldn't be a risk
They play our lives useless like a compact disk,
We shall overcome, silenced by a gun
Amazing grace being made by a racist thug
The brainwashing is deep yall
Knocking off the feet
Willie Lynch is the protocol
Till the blood stop like menopause
I'm arming up like Winston
Churchill then I'm benching
wait for it? No I'm taking that
Freedom without permission
You can say that I'm upset
You can say I'm pissed off
And you damn right,
I'm sick and tired of my people getting hauled off
Continuous holocaust, legalized by the system
Then you lock up the camera man for documenting the vision,
I should grab a weapon like Christopher Columbus
Let the canon spray and make it a holiday
Rest in peace to the souls,
That never got to glow,
that's six feet below,
Where the magnets eat ya toes,
Verse two, Dudu Stinks:
Wrong place right time
Last spoken words can't breath
White lies choke me to death
With a brown face like mine
Lots overheard but can't see
Black lives get no respect
He put hands in his pockets
Resisting arrest
I feared for my life tussle then put two in his chest
Symptomatic of a larger disease
The white man is sick in clear view
Every ten seconds
check my rear view
Seething underneath
But my shell is so clam
If you scream they can't hear you
Most times he invisible
Unless he's thought criminal
Trust is on minimal
The messages subliminal
Black folks this pitiful
Country of cloned cynical
takes news literal
Think cops invincible
Unless you're physical or lyrical
Or entertain you need miracles
The denial of truth is so pivotal
Villainize what the news do
Dirty cops bring the fight to you
Saw the murder on YouTube
Of course you guessed, not incited
The party on the hill whites only you not invited
In society I glide over the fire like a pilot
inside of me try and cover stress but the riot
Goes further
Makes me want to find and murder
Every crooked cop, judge, grand jury ever heard of
Line them up blind fold, naked barbed wire
Tease out confessions admit you all liars
Fingernails first then skin then strap them
To the bottom
fill the pool with blood of black men
Watch them cough it up and drink it through the nose
Spread'em out early traffic evenly exposed
The country has secrets
Lies in closets
Bones in the Atlantic, slave owners in your wallet
Assimilate or be ware
you brought me here problem
mistakes not discussed and deny all involvement
Systematic subjugation
Hidden facts with alterations
Promise tomorrow
Another altercation
Another lynch mob modernized and blatant
Badge of honor
He must have been a thug or daemon
I must be dreaming
What solution?
Who's loss is this?
White privilege doesn't require dual consciousness
Verse three, Jah Boogie:
They take the youth before they grow bye bye
And things are out of control why why
And all I see is all them lose bye bye
And all the people say they pay the price
They say we're living in the last time
And all the mamas just cry cry cry
Police brutality is still alive
And none of this I say they can not deny
And even when my hands are all up in the sky
But all I see the youth dem die
You say you never see the law indict
And when you see them all them fry
The white privilege in the plain sight
And those that can't understand my life
And they never understand our strife
And they often disrespect our rights
Just like it's 1955
In this here time you say we must survive
In this economy and in this technology
We're coming from the bottom but my whole team not there

It's getting closer to that special time of the school year.
No, not summer (because that is beyond special… and there are days when I feel it will never get here).
It's almost Interview Season.
Teachers retire, quit, or move on to bigger and better things.
This also means I will have a dull headache for the next 6 months. It's the exact same feeling I get when I eat too much sugar.
Openings to fill. Resumes to sort through by the hundreds (please stop telling me there's a teacher shortage). And reference checks to be made.
Work, work, work.
Which isn't a bad thing. Actually it's job security.
Even so, Interview Season = Dull Headache just Cookies in the Lounge = Dull Headache.
I enjoy meeting new teachers during interviews.
They are so young. So enthusiastic. So upbeat and positive. So desperate for a job that pays them actual money.
There's just so many of them.
After about interview #47, I start to show my age.
I get confused and disoriented.
There comes a time when I can't remember if I've asked a question or even for the candidate's name.
Who am I kidding? At a certain point I can't remember my own name (sadly this happens way before interview #47).
Don't get me wrong, I don't mind interviewing (see: job security). I just wish I had a special huge red button to push the second I know it's not going to work out.
Sort of a "Thanks for playing our game… now GET OUT!" button.
This isn't true. Or nice.
What I need is a giant lever to pull.
If this sounds unduly harsh, it's because it is.
In my defense, interviews are like first dates. You know within 2 minutes if it's a match.
I don't want to embarrass the person interviewing, I just want to pull the lever and have them fall into a giant abyss (just to prove I'm not mean, I want the abyss to be deep enough that I don't hear their crying and screaming as they fight for a final breathe… because there's no need to make things worse).
Think about it. Within 120 seconds you know if you want to hire this person, but yet you feel like it's only fair to spend at least 30 minutes interviewing them.
Actually, now that I think about it this may be worse than pulling the lever.
Maybe, interviews should be shorter.
Maybe, it's a disservice to drag them out when they aren't going well.
Maybe, I would be doing everyone a favor by pulling the lever.
Or maybe not.
Interviews remind me of a game show.
Think about it. A school gets 100 resumes.
We pick out 5 to play the game.
They are then brought up on stage (the interview) and asked a series of secret questions.
No one knows the correct answer, so the candidates do their best to guess what the school/interviewer wants to hear.
At the end of the game a winner is chosen and the losers (not really "losers") have no idea why they didn't win.
It's a game show without the lovely parting gifts.
People are so excited to get chosen to play the game and so disappointed when they don't win.
No job. No car. No boat. No vacation package.
It's a game show without any of the good parts.
And of course, I don't have a lovely sidekick, a bad suit, big hair, or a long microphone.
Alex, I would like "Student Discipline" for $100.

Rules: Model Characteristics (Ver. 0.5)
by SandWyrm
Here's the updated Model Characteristics descriptions. You'll notice I've dropped 'Push Back'. It was a clumsy stat that never quite fit, and I think that we can get along without it using a combination of Close Combat hits received and a special rule for models and equipment that should boost the combat result.
Mission Concept: Meeting Engagement
by SandWyrm
This is the first of the Mission Concepts that I'll be writing up over the coming week, and is what I would consider to be the 'Standard' M42 mission. In that it doesn't require any special terrain bits to work, and can be played by anyone who's new to the game pretty easily.

Rules: Unit Characteristics (Ver. 0.5)
by SandWyrm
Here's the revamped descriptions for the four Unit Characteristics. Which have been separated from the 8 Model Characteristics. Which are coming next.
And I'm Finally Back!
by SandWyrm
Well, my holidays were an exercise in controlled chaos. Nasal surgery for the wife so that she could breath again without pain. The annual stomach flu for everyone while she was recovering (oh so fun). A trip out to a state park to visit with family. Busy busy... It's really been a roller coaster ride from utter exhaustion to energetic fun and back again. :)

And... The Holidays Finally Get In The Way
by SandWyrm
Christmas parties... childrens' programs... house reconstruction... surgery for the wife... a tourney...
It's frustrating, but I'm just too busy with other commitments to post much right now. You might see one or two new things before the new year. But don't expect much before then. :)

Updated Unit Profile Format
by SandWyrm
The numbers themselves aren't final, but what do you think of the format itself? I had been combining the model and weapon stats together, but that made you look things up every time. This way you see a standard model profile, standard weapon stats/bonuses, and you can quickly add them up before doing the comparison test. Over time, you (hopefully) can memorize the numbers/bonuses, and if you do need to reference them, it's all in one place.

M42 Quick Reference Guide
by SandWyrm
We don't have a full rulebook yet (working on it), but I've compiled a Quick Reference Guide to use for testing that outlines everything in the current rules pretty simply. As such, it's the most up to date version of the rules so far, and is probably good enough for anyone familiar with our discussions to sit down and do some simple testing with. Though I still need to re-vamp the mission(s) and work up a proper unit reference sheet. Which will both be coming this week sometime.

Testing With The Pros
by SandWyrm
Spaguatyrine, our local 40K tournament champ, called me up yesterday and wanted to play a game. So I went over to Games 2D4 and let him tryout M42. DaemonJohn, another very good local tournament player, was also pretty interested. So I had them both fight while I watched. Having two really good 40K players do their best to game our system was a great way to find some flaws!

Granted Powers: You see the future, for good or ill.
Forewarned (Su): Your knowledge of the future allows you to anticipate danger. You gain a +1 bonus to Perception checks and a +1 dodge bonus to AC. Theses bonuses increase by +2 at 8th level and every 3 levels thereafter.
Future Sight (Su): At 8th level, once each day you may declare that an action you have just taken did not happen. You may then take a different action. You can do this after the results of your action are known. The mixing of future and present is disorienting. You are shaken for 1d4 rounds after you use this ability. This does not stack with other fear effects, but nothing can remove this condition.
Domain Spells: 1st—deathwatch, 2nd—augury, 3rd—locate object, 4th—divination, 5th—commune, 6th—find the path, 7th—prying eyes, 8th—moment of prescience, 9th—foresight

|Storyteller Andy Hunter
November should have seen Andy Hunter's 63rd birthday; sadly, Andy passed away in early 2015 while out riding his bicycle in Herefordshire. Ironically, although Andy was fit and in good condition, his death was was sudden, due to an undiagnosed heart condition.
Andy was not only a keen bicyclist, he was also a superb and much-loved storyteller. In fact, he had combined his two loves into a business he called "StoryBikes" which saw him take folk out on bike rides and stopping here and there for a story, usually related to the place he was in.
This week's programme was first broadcast in 2015 and features a couple of Andy's favourite stories, followed by a tribute from a fellow storyteller. The programme begins on Sunday 5 November 2017 at 7am ET (Canada/US), 12 noon (UK/Ireland) and 9pm (Australia). The show is repeated on Thursday 9 November at 5:30pm (Can/US), 10:30pm (UK) and on Friday 10 November at 7:30am in Australia.

About Us
A little about us...The Clennett family's involvement in the timber industry extends well back over a hundred years to the establishment of a timber mill by William Longstaff Clennett in 1885 at "Stanmore" near Dover. The former family timber business had a retail division, managed by John Clennett, which had two Mitre 10 stores located at Moonah and Rosny.
This business was sold in 1988 at which time John resolved to establish a new Mitre 10 business in the Huon Valley. The intervening years saw the business change considerably, from initially comprising two stores at Huonville and Geeveston, then a store at Cygnet and later a store at Channel Court in Kingston.
The constant development and rationalisation of the business culminated in the construction of two highly successful purpose-built stores operating today at Huonville and Kingston. In 1998, the company purchased the old Sunshine Nursery site adjacent to the Kingston Mitre 10 store and developed The Fork in the Road Garden Centre.
The business today remains committed to continual growth and development. In order to achieve this we strive to maintain an environment which reflects the best parts of a real family business.
Our continued success relies on providing career opportunities for our people and on building and maintaining positive relationships with our customers and the wider community. We will always endeavour to better serve the needs of our customers because we understand that in hardware "customers are really everything".

Some of you out there experienced that usb is not working anymore with 2.6.9 kernel.
Here the reason for it:
The usb host kernel parts are built as modules now
that means if you don't use hotplug daemon which loads these modules during startup, you have to load these modules in your r rc.conf module list.
The modules are:
ohci_hcd for usb1.0
uhci_hcd for usb1.0
ehci_hcd for usb2.0
try the right module you need
enjoy kernel 2.6.9
also, we changed udev default permissions (groups: optical + audio)
without knowing the details (console output from xcdroast or k3b), i would guess that it is one of these troubles]]>

Series: Critical Concepts in Construction
was $1,465.00
SAVE ~$293.00 on each
The evolution of the construction industry is closely linked with the introduction and evolution of information technologies. Today, collaboration, distributed document management, and instant communications are joining classic scheduling and estimating applications as the standard tools employed by construction professionals. However, the next generation of information technology applications is already having an impact; the emerging fields of visualization, Building Information Modeling and construction simulation are being applied to projects and demonstrating initial opportunities.
This reference set provides a comprehensive perspective on the role of information technologies in the construction industry. Beginning with the seminal works on computerizing scheduling operations, these volumes provide both a breadth of representations of construction technologies as well as depth of understanding in each area. They focus on: 1) traditional applications including scheduling, estimating, and operations simulation; 2) second generation applications including collaboration and document management applications; and 3) next generation technologies including 4-D simulation, virtual worlds, and safety modeling. Within each of these focal points, the volumes provide the reader with a cross-section of papers that introduce both the theory and the application of the technologies.
The collection is introduced by the Editor to provide the context of the industry as a basis for Construction Technology emergence and each volume has its own short introduction. These volumes present a comprehensive review of the role of technology in responding to the continuous changing environment of the construction industry.
Volume 1: Foundational Construction Technologies Construction Technology: Where We are Now, Promises, and Potential.

Yoga Story: Carolina Moreira
Since an early age, I've been drawn to the laws of the Universe, spiritual teachings, psychology, and energy fields. Discovering the path of Yoga in 2008 was simply a way to have some of my universal questions answered, and to connect with myself on a deeper level. I feel that it wasn't me who found Yoga, but rather Yoga found me.
It was a critical time for me; I was looking outward, trying to understand who I really am and what my life purpose is. When I started taking Yoga classes, I truly realized that I create myself and the reality around me by looking inward. Through a regular asana practice, I quickly found myself physically stronger and way more flexible. However, the powerful and transformative effects through a regular practice brought me mental and emotional benefits beyond the physical aspects. Initially, yoga fed me inwardly with self-discovery, balance, and acceptance. I knew that I had discovered my path through yoga, and I made a choice to passionately share it with others.
I love everything about Yoga: the asanas, pranayama, meditation, philosophy, mantras, the community, ethics, values, mindfulness, and the list goes on… I love all parts of Yoga; and I mean it! My favorite pose is always changing. It really depends on the day and what I am looking for when I approach my Yoga practice. If I am looking for a more invigorating energetic experience, then I love practicing heart openers, arm balances, hip openers and side bends. If I want to calm my mind and relax my body, there is nothing better than reclined twists, forward fold bends, supported inversions, baddha konasana and legs up the wall. But I have to say, downward facing dog is the ultimate pose for me. It always does so much for me. When I move into the pose, it's like Yoga is talking to me, saying, "welcome home!".
I have found that I stay inspired and motivated in my practice by taking other teacher's classes at Pilgrimage and elsewhere, traveling, attending workshops, reading Yoga books and watching Yoga videos online. Another way I stay motivated is to be surrounded by a like-minded conscious community and healthy foods that support my Yoga on and off the mat.
On a final note, I want to take this opportunity to thank Pilgrimage of the Heart Yoga for all the wonderful opportunities and blessings I've received since I joined the studio as an assisting teacher in May 2010. Words simply can't describe the amount of gratitude, appreciation and love I have for every aspect of the studio, from the classes to the beautiful people I get to work and interact with every day. Also all the friends I made along the way. I've learned so much (and am still learning!) from all these rich experiences, which helped shape who I am today. Thank you Pilgrimage of the Heart Yoga for believing in my highest potential and for making me feel at home. <3
