There are different approach to a mission. Using custom voice commands in accomplishing a mission adds zest to the experience (at least on my part). With GlovePIE voice commands, I just say what I want. Makes me in control of the game and change the course of a mission.
Voice commands in Arma 3 is not limited to commanding AI squad members. With a bit of creativity, you can do a lot of advanced stuff aside from the basic commands.
Some advanced / custom commands featured in the video:
- Manipulate time to your heart's content. I prefer playing at daytime, seeing all the greens of the battlefield.
- Disarm player. I do not prefer some default Arma 3 weapon loadout so, disarming on the fly is a neat one.
- Spawn any rifle or launcher without the need for virtual ammobox. Arm yourself with any weapon you wish to use. Tons of weapon combinations to choose from.
- Attach optics / riflescope or attach rifle suppressor. Take advantage of the modular weapon attachment, customize weapon to your liking.
- Request fire support (artillery) at specified map location. Overwhelmed by enemy forces? Sweep them clean with arty.
- Take charge of the squad. Make default AI leader your subordinate and lead the rest of the squad to victory!
- Spawn any vehicle anytime, anywhere you want.
- Order any AI member of your squad to mount as gunner the vehicle you are pointing at. Quick and easy. No need to go through the game's default Mount menu.
'Combined Arms Showcase' as it is
A couple of videos on YouTube (courtesy of RoyalGamersUK and thegamerbayus) showing you gameplay of Combined Arms showcase without using voice commands.
So, why use GlovePIE?
Voice commands / voice recogniton / voice control in ArmA 3 using GlovePIE and voice_com addon can accomplish a lot of things. Things you can do with this setup can be summarized into two categories:
(1) BASIC commands for player (yourself) or squad (AIs, NPCs)
- Commands like change view, kneel, stand up, go prone, open watch, open map, assign team, mount vehicle, disembark, engage target, open fire, hold fire, watch direction, copy stance, etcetera.
- Of course, those basic commands above can also be programmed in other 3rd-party voice recognition softwares like PiLfluS, Shoot, VAC or Windows Speech Recognition Macros. A walk in the park task.
- What happens here is that GlovePIE translates your voice command/s to the corresponding key bindings. For instance, when you say "squad", GlovePIE would press for you the "~" key (tilde key) which by default would select all members of your squad.
- Another example is when you say "two, three, return to formation", GlovePIE would press in consecutive order the following keys: F2 F3 1 1. Those examples are dependent on the default game key bindings. GlovePIE clicks them for you when you issue a command. The voice commands can be programmed to your own liking. So, instead of saying "squad", you could use "all" or "guys listen up" or whatever phrase you desire and the end result would still press key "~".
Check this link for the write-up and video about how basic GlovePIE voice commands in Arma 3 work.
For a list of Arma 3 key assignments, check out this link. Thanks to alpha-kilo.
Here's a video from Royal Gamers UK demonstrating squad commands in Arma 3 using GlovePIE:
Reddit discussion:
(2) ADVANCED commands for player (yourself) or squad (AIs, NPCs)
- Adding or removing your own/your squad member's rifle attachments such as optics, flashlight and suppressors, adding or removing clothes/ uniforms, commands for player or squad invincibility, adding (spawning) any weapon, ammo, vehicle, item in ArmA 3 or from ArmA 2 (thru AiA), time and weather manipulation, calling artillery strikes, moving to specific map location, etc.
- Now, this is something unique since there is no in-game menu or dialog interaction involved, no keyboard shortcuts pressed. Just use your voice. To each his own. This setup is not dependent on injectors, cheat menu or hack menu found elsewhere on the internet.
If you need a Glock, then just say "add Glock"
Want a AMV-7 Marshall? Just say "add Marshall"
Need a ARCO optics for your rifle? Just say "add A R C O"
To add 2 hours to current time, just say "add two hours"
To call artillery strike at designated map location, just say "artillery"
To order your squad to fire at specific target, just point and say "target that"
... and so on and so forth.
Very easy to use. I haven't seen a video on YouTube using similar approach. I could be wrong though.
Wish Bohemia Interactive devs integrated some sort of voice recognition feature in Arma 3 for us who love to say what we want in game. Of course, not all commands of the not-so-basic stuff like weapon and vehicle spawning, calling for artillery or nuke strike, weather and time manipulation can be added to the proposed feature but I think adding voice recognition support for basic AI/squad commands is plausible. I believe that it adds realistic immersion to the already awesome game that is Arma 3. One could just say 'Two, gunner get in that chopper' instead of pressing the equivalent key bindings.
Wishful thinking? Who knows, the devs might give it a go. Vote up!
Files featured here are for personal use only. Video shared on YouTube just so you know something like this exists. Videos or it never happened!

About Us
Since our inception in 2002, Real Digital Media has grown with the digital signage industry, and by doing so, has claimed a thought leadership position for its future. Our solution is not an offshoot of content authoring tools or software distribution platforms wedged to fit the demands of digital signage. It is pure digital signage, beginning with its design from a blank sheet of paper. From the beginning we believed the right architecture for a scalable digital signage solution would include low cost, purpose-built appliances, not off the shelf PCs. From there, we knew the next element had to be web-based, intuitive and fully functional software for managing content and networks.
The results from that blank sheet of paper have evolved into today's NEOCAST® Digital Signage Platform: a solution widely regarded as elegantly simple, fully functional, scalable and cost-effective.
Flowery words? Not to our customers and the many industry experts who have seen and used our solution. By focusing our efforts on the core functions of an excellent digital signage network (content management, content distribution, player and network management, and administrative tools), we have created a robust and extensible platform. Many of our unique and industry first functions, such as SpotSwap®, On-Demand and Smart Groups were driven by customers, for customers. Each worked with us to design, test and continuously enhance the solution. That is one of the reasons people view us a partner, not a vendor. And there is more coming: much more, driven by real network owners, real demands and real needs. All designed and supported by real engineers.
So contact us about your network. If you are getting ready to launch, or ready for a switch to something better, we look forward to showing you why people who do their homework choose NEOCAST®.
It's more than a media player. It's more than management software. It's a team of people dedicated to partnering with you to make your network successful. It's NEOCAST® from Real Digital Media. An advanced enterprise digital signage platform based upon the principles of excellence and value, and we want you to experience and share in our enthusiasm.

Movie audiences with famously fiery tastes can make or break a film's debut. Filmmakers will also compete for the festival's prestigious trophy, the Palme d'Or.The Canadian auteur behind "The Fly" (1986) and "Eastern Promises" (2007), Cronenberg is one of 18 filmmakers in competition for the prize, which will be selected by a jury headed by director Jane Campion.Two films come from the U.S.: Bennett Miller's Olympic wrestler drama "Foxcatcher," starring Channing Tatum and Steve Carell, and Tommy Lee Jones' Western "The Homesman".The films in the competition will bring a bevy of A-list talent.Director Olivier Dahan has feuded over the final edit with North American distributor Harvey Weinstein. Dahan is scheduled to premiere his cut in Cannes.This year's festival appears to lean more toward art than spectacle, however, which Sony Pictures Classics co-founder Tom Bernard credits to festival director Thierry Fremaux.

Here's an eye-catching headline if there ever was one:
In Ad Wars, Democrats Shy From Ties to Own Party
My how the worm turns. Remember how proud the Dems were when they mired our children and grandchildren (and probably great-grandchildren) in what until then was unheard of debt and deficits? They were going to save us with the Stimulus and heal us ObamaCare and they were going to do it whether we liked it or not. Well, we didn't like it. Now the Dems are on the run from their own record but it just doesn't work that way.
Here in Florida's 11th district we have Kathy (the ninth most liberal member of the House) Castor vying against Mike Prendergast for the House. If you go to Castor's campaign website you will notice that certain little facts have been omitted. There is no mention of Castor's votes in favor of the Stimulus or ObamaCare. There is no mention of the fact that she was one of only seventy-five members of the House who voted against defunding ACORN. Heck, there is no mention that she is a Democrat on her home page. Embarrassed much?
She does mention that she is for "seniors and veterans" (there's a rumor that she favors baseball and apple pie, too). Was Castor standing up for seniors when she voted for ObamaCare? While we are all being hurt by the government's takeover of our healthcare, seniors are being decimated by it. If this is Castor's idea of helping seniors we can only pray that she leaves veterans alone.
I guess I just don't understand why Democrats won't stand by their own voting records. Lord knows we will suffer from the results of their votes for years to come. If they are feeling a wee bit uncomfortable, I say good. There is no reason why our representatives should fare any better than their constituents.
Mike Prendergast for Congress

Joel Osteen, Rick Warren, T. D. Jakes, Creflo Dollar, Doug Pagitt, Kenneth Hagin (Jr & Sr), Billy Graham, Kenneth Copeland, Joyce Meyer, Robert Schueller, Rodney Howard Browne, Juanita Bynum, Benny Hinn, Jesse Duplantis, Frederick K. C. Price, Paul & Jan Crouch, Eddie Long, Noel Jones, Ed Young (and countless others) have something in common – they are not teaching the Bible properly.
I've been sitting on this for a while, but considering the doctrines being taught and people listening, I think it's time to start addressing this. I've been caught up in the hype, attended several conferences of people I once supported and want to share what I've been shown since then. I've noticed there is an increase in the number of people with titles (prophet/prophetess, apostle, Dr., evangelist, bishop) – especially "Dr." Apparently, there are things called diploma/degree mills that allow people to receive degrees without having to actually attend classes. If your donation is large enough, you can receive a doctorate!
false – declaring/uttering something untrue; not genuine or real; contrary to fact or truth
teacher – an instructor; one who imparts knowledge or skill in an area; an advocate or preacher
prophet – a person used by God to deliver His message usually as a warning combined with future revelation delivered to a people
False prophets are generally easier to detect. Wait for them to speak about an event, and see if it comes true. God's prophets gave specific detail and were 100% accurate. If they were less than 100% accurate, we are told not to fear them, and they were stoned for trying to mislead God's people. False teachers are more common and may be more difficult to weed out because they usually have truth mixed with to what they want to say. (There are times when people are in genuine error, but false teachers are generally wrong in multiple areas and refuse correction even after being shown.) The reason we should be aware of false teachers is because wrong doctrine is damnable (meaning it can cost a person his soul)! Christians often believe they will be able to know instantly if someone is a false teacher; however, Jesus told us to watch out that we be not deceived.
~ Matthew 7:15 "15Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves."
~ 2 Peter 2:1-4 "1But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. 2And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 3And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not."
~ 2 Timothy 4:3-4 "3For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables."
~ Acts 20:29-30 "29For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. 30Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them."
~ 1 Timothy 4:1 "1Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world."
Point to remember – false teachers will arise from professing Christians
We are called to reprove, rebuke, correct and mark people that cause division. If a person is teaching a damnable heresy, then we are obligated to point it out. There are multiple places in the Bible where people that work against God were called by name. Paul is often mentioned (2 Tim 4:10-11), but Judas Iscariot is known for betraying Jesus and being a thief. Jeremiah spoke out against the kings' prophets and counsel that told him what he wanted to hear. (Jer 28:15-17 " 15Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah; The LORD hath not sent thee; but thou makest this people to trust in a lie. 16Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will cast thee from off the face of the earth: this year thou shalt die, because thou hast taught rebellion against the LORD. 17So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.")
So, now that we've got some basics covered, let's talk about some of the signs of false prophets and teachers. Then, we'll see some examples.
Signs that may indicate there is a false prophet/teacher:
– An extremely large following/congregation – Generally, with a church congregation having thousands and thousands of people, the pastors are telling them what they want to hear. The messages are man-centered instead of Christ-centered and cater to the flesh ("itching ears". The churches are seeker-sensitive.)
– The words "holiness", "hell", "sin", "repent/repentance" are avoided which means the Holy Spirit is probably far from that church. The Holy Spirit convicts man of his sin. If sins against God are not taught, he doesn't know when he is out of right-standing with God. More importantly, he doesn't understand his need for salvation.
– The Bible is more of a decoration than a necessary tool. Man's opinion and experiences are placed above what God says. The Bible is rarely, if ever, used. If you hear, "Now you won't find this in your Bibles, but…" beware.
– Pastors or members boast about the stuff God has gotten them. Emphasis is placed on what God can do for you rather than how we are here to serve God. Name dropping is common.
– People of any religion are comfortable listening to the pastor and enjoy hearing him speak but do not feel any change in their spirit to draw closer to God.
– The church looks like the world with Christian paraphernalia (worship service looks like the club, people are irreverent in dress, speech and mannerisms, socialization and activities are spoken of more than ministry, etc).
– The doctrine being taught differs vastly from the Bible and what the early church practices. They are constantly telling you what they believe the latest "Word from God" is, telling you about where Jesus will show up, new revelation or claiming miracles break out all over the church because they believe God is doing "a new thing". Healing revivals and impartations are scheduled. They claim they have special anointing (that may vanish within a few minutes, so get your checkbooks out now) that may be one of these: swimming, tv, uncommon, "devil-busting", fire, speaking, 100-fold increase, mindless, corporate, financial, fun time, seed, explosive, rambo, anointed trinkets (& handkerchiefs, ropes) etc. Matthew 16:4 "A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed."
– They gloss over what salvation is, process of salvation and claim being saved is easy living.
– They claim they've discovered some secret from the Bible only they know. They encourage new age methods.
I want to give links and videos for some of the well-known teachers and prophets to show what is going on and compare them to Scriptures. However, before I jump into that, I want to show you some of the methods being used in healing crusades today. Of course, our Lord can heal and work miracles, but Christ never charged people for a miracle nor made a circus around what was most important – His message to us. I'm putting this here because people have DIED believing they've been healed when they haven't!
Exposing faith healers
An ex-faith healer exposes tricks used
Benny Hinn – I know a lot of people flock to him for his crusades hoping for a miracle but are getting parlor tricks and ungodly spirits. I have seen him in person and heard him pray for some men's eyes to be able to see into the spirit realm. He didn't pray like Elisha did for the servant to see the army of the Lord as their protection (2 Kings 6:17) but to see in general. We have a veil to keep us from seeing into the spirit realm for a reason!
teaching nine (9) people in the Trinity
telling people Jesus will physically appear in random places – video
"Jesus" on the wall during a crusade – video
Todd Bentley – sexual criminal, adulterer, claims to have been possessed after being saved, claims to have an angel named "Emma" teach him, has "gold" in his conventions, heavily tattooed and pierced, "beats the illness out of people"
Emma/Emma-O (demonic angel) – detailed document, "Who Is Emma-O?"
strange doctrines & encounters
violence (Todd assaults people)
James Ray – author of "The Secret" – universalist loved by many unsuspecting Christians was practicing shamanism – video
1Cor 14:26-28, 40 "26How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. 27If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret. 28But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God." "40Let all things be done decently and in order."
Kenneth Copeland and Kenneth Hagin
Which spirit is this?
"Christian" tv, in general, isn't teaching what it claims. While there may be a few good teaches dotted throughout, the first glimpse people get of Christians is falsehood.
TBN – "Deception in the Church"
TBN's logo – questionable
Now, for our happy-clappy preacher smiling Joel Osteen!
Joel denies Jesus Christ is the only way to the Father in Heaven by stating he does not know if non-Christians/unsaved people will go to hell. Osteen has stated he considers himself a life coach instead of a preacher. He preaches about what God should do for us (our best life now) and chooses not to address sin. His Scripture knowledge and understanding of the Bible is low and does not seem to understand basic Christian theology. However, he does know how to take one verse and run with it which often helps people stay comfortable in their sin while they wait for God to shower them with blessings.
Todd Friel holds Joel Osteen to the Bible
atheist obsessed with Joel Osteen – video
Blind Watchmen – video
false prophets conspiracy of silence – video
TBN, Paul Crouch, Joyce Meyer, Benny Hinn
Peter Popoff (warning: may want to mute the last few seconds) – video (pt 1)
Thomas Kearney handkerchief (warning: do not eat or drink while watching)
Fred Price – teaches God cannot do anything on earth without man's permission, Jesus was rich, followed Hagin's teachings – link
Making of a false apostle
Kenneth Copeland – teaches Jesus died spiritually, we are little gods, Jesus was not the only person that could have redeemed man, prosperity gospel

Fists flew when a fight broke out among fans at the Los Angeles Rams' preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday.
NBC4 viewer Carl Hankins recorded cellphone video showing fisticuffs in the stands at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Some of the fans were wearing Rams apparel, while others wore Cowboys gear.
It's unclear what prompted the fight or if anyone was seriously injured.
Top news of the day
More than 78,000 people attended the game, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. Three arrests were made and seven people were ejected from the stadium. It's not clear if those were connected to the fight.
There were also 11 ambulance calls, with one person taken to the hospital.

The Parks in Malmö
Malmö is famous for its parks, make sure you have a stroll in at least some of them, before you leave. You will find out it was very worthwhile.
Slottsparken (The Castle Park) is a modern city park that has water as its main motif. Big stretches of woodland, wonderful views and plenty of park benches characterizes this park. The park used to be a training ground for
the Malmö Household Regiment during the 19th century. The park, which was designed by Edvard Glæsel, was inspired by American everyday parks.
The main library and Slottsmöllan (The Castle Mill) can be found in the Castle Park as well, and a "must" in the park is the sculpture Pegasus by Carl Milles, one of Sweden's most important sculptors.
The oldest park in Malmö is Kungsparken (The King' s Park) which lies right in the heart of Malmö. It used to be a burial ground hundreds of years ago, but was turned into a park in 1872. Today it's a romantic park with a number of exotic trees.
The biggest park is Pildammsparken, a classic park that is one of its kind in northern Europe. Over 10.000 flowers are planted in the "flower-alley" every year.
Stroll along fantastic gardens and watch the exotic birds.
Enjoy Malmö, the city of parks!

Z2 Live has a new name, and a new game. The Seattle mobile gaming company, which earlier this month switched its name to Z2, just released a multiplayer car racing game called Nitro. In the game, participants can choose from one of 16 vehicles and race in real time against as many as five other players.
"Join adrenaline junkies worldwide and be a part of Nitro's racing league. Get ready to test limits, break records, and be one of the top drivers with the hottest rides around," the company writes in a description.
Z2 has already met with success with some of its titles for iOS, including Battle Nations, Trade Nations and MetalStorm. Those games have been played by 50 million players in the past four years, with Z2 largely going after the young male gamer with its titles.
Nitro also marks the first title developed by the company's newly-acquired Vancouver, B.C.-based studio.
Z2, which is led by Lou Fasulo, employs more than 150 people. It is backed by Madrona Venture Group, Draper Fisher Jurvetson and others.
Here's the official trailer for the new game, which like the company's other titles is free to play. Z2 makes its money through in-app purchases.

Planning a wedding is wonderful and creative and stressful and, … well, it's a lot of things! There are a lot of decisions to be made, from who to invite and where to seat them to ceremony details, venues and food options – let alone décor! Oh boy. So what's the most important detail? For many brides it's their outfit. Often the first thing on the to-do list, the wedding dress is a very important piece of the puzzle that can set the tone for the whole affair.
Deciding on a wedding dress style can be difficult, but your silhouette should always be based on your body type. Certain silhouettes flatter certain body types, and certain body types can pull off just about any look – the important thing is to choose a style that is both functional and flattering. A strapless dress on a large bust may result in you having to fuss with the dress all night to keep yourself contained, or a big heavy ball gown on the beach may leave you overheated and uncomfortable throughout the day. Choose wisely.
Once you have decided on your dress, move onto the bridal shoes! There are a few points to consider when choosing your shoes, primarily whether you want them to be a statement piece or not. Do you want your shoes to be colorful, or intricately detailed, or to be accessorized with cute after-market baubles? The style of your shoes should complement your gown, so if you choose a vintage frock, lean toward a more vintage shoe style. A heeled oxford ankle boot, for example, could be a cute way to enhance your look. You can modernize the look by going with a more modern material or accessory for the shoe, or you can double-down on the look by choosing this shoe in lace.
Ah yes, the age old question: How do you decide whether or not to wear high-heels or flats with your wedding gown? The primary consideration for this should be your natural height, along with your groom. Secondary to these points, is how you both feel about either option. If he is the same height or shorter than you? The good news is that you have many options when it comes to high-heels. You can choose a kitten heel if you are tall, which will still make you feel elegant and dressy, without adding to you vertically. If you are short you have many more options. You can rock down the aisle in stilettos if you are skilled enough, but may need to have a pair of flat shoes on hand to change into later.
The good news is that flats and heels are acceptable for the modern bride, regardless of your height. Flats are a great option for a beach wedding, or for the taller bride, and heels are well suited to banquet spaces, and shorter brides – but in the end, it's whatever makes you the most comfortable. There is a massive selection of bridal shoes available on our online store at Eleanor Anukam Footwear, from traditional white satin to cobalt blue, and everything in between! Start shopping today!

The ENVI Committee protected health of EU citizens, not interests of the tobacco industry
The ENVI Committee, the leading Committee responsible for the Tobacco Products Directive at the European Parliament, stood up to the strong tobacco lobby and sided with European citizens. In July, the members of the ENVI Committee endorsed amendments introducing the pictorial warnings covering 75% of the cigarette's pack (both front and back), a ban on menthol cigarettes and slims, and a regulation of e-cigarettes as medicinal products (the summary of the vote here). EFA has been advocating for these amendments as they focus on features targeting young smokers and they will help put people off smoking before they even start. EFA has also endorsed the introduction of plain packaging; this, however, was rejected by the committee. Nevertheless, the vote in July set a great example for the plenary vote at the European Parliament taking place in September 2013. It is now crucial to bring the whole plenary around to support the strongest possible Tobacco Products Directive. EFA will thus continue with its advocacy activities to fight for the public health interests. The evidence is there and is growing. Tobacco is the most prevalent preventable cause of death, it kills one in two of its long-term users and it is a leading cause of many chronic diseases such as COPD. As the Irish Minister of Health James Reilly said, tobacco kills more people than it employs and we cannot put needs of tobacco industry ahead of human lives (check EFA's position paper on tobacco here). After the proposal will have been voted by the plenary in September, the Parliament will have to reach an agreement with the EU Health Ministers. If they do not manage to agree on the legislation before the end of the year, its adoption might be put in danger as the European Parliament's elections are coming early next year. A failure to adopt the legislation now might put the whole political process back to the very beginning. More information on the directive here.
Medical Devices Regulation – The vote is coming
The ENVI Committee of the European Parliament will be voting on the Medical Devices Regulation in autumn. This regulation is of a major concern for EFA as devices such as medical oxygen containers, inhalers or adrenaline auto-injectors are essential for millions of patients with allergies and respiratory diseases. Studies show that both asthma and COPD patients feel their inhaler device is an essential item that makes their lives significantly better. Safety and efficacy of such devices thus have to be fully guaranteed and further improved, because they increase life expectancy, quality of life and empower patients to better manage their disease. EFA considers patients' empowerment and ability to take active role in their own care a crucial point underpinning the whole proposal and calls upon Members of the ENVI Committee to support amendments enhancing patients' safety, patient's involvement and increased transparency. After all, patients are the ones using medical devices and taking risk in their daily lives (check EFA's briefing on medical devices here). Empowered patients will be able to manage their diseases better and the regulation could be a starting point for a real patient-centred disease management. EFA will thus continue advocating for amendments that enhance patients' safety and guarantee they can make informed decisions, involve patients in decision-making and make information on medical devices and their manufacturing public and transparent. More information on the regulation here.


text: Woody Guthrie was a "radical folk prophet from grassroots America," "Shakespeare in overalls," and "a national treasure." He was also a hard-traveling, hard-living man, refusing to be held down or held back by family, work, or the expectations of others. He wrote over 1,000 songs, married three times, had eight children, wrote fiction, drew cartoons, and performed across the nation from the 1930s to the late '40s, when drinking and disease began to take their toll. The glory of Woody Guthrie's music and the popular image of the traveling man with a guitar slung over his shoulder will be balanced in the reader's mind by the tragedy of his final years and the odd coincidence of fire throughout his life. In this attractively made volume, complete with photographs, lyrics, family tree, and cartoons, Woody Guthrie is honestly portrayed. A strong point is the final section on the persistence of poverty in the US and the current singer/songwriters who carry on the folk tradition. Brevity is occasionally a problem when the impression given by the author's accounts doesn't fully match the historical record. When Woody's father Charley was burned by the kerosene in a lamp his mother, Nora, was carrying, this was apparently more intentional than the author indicates. And when Woody visited Nora in the asylum in Norman, Oklahoma, Neimark's account is that Nora didn't recognize him, but, in fact, Nora became lucid for a moment and said, "You're Woodrow." Such scenes are not always documented. These quibbles aside, this is a volume that ought to be included in any collection of good books about Woody Guthrie, including Elizabeth Partridge's This Land Was Made for You and Me (p. 107), Bonnie Christensen's Woody Guthrie: Poet of the People (2001), and Kathy Jakobsen's This Land Is Your Land (1998). (author's note, source notes, index) (Nonfiction. 10-14)

HOW THE CHURCH BEGAN - THE CHURCH OF CHRIST (Spiritual Movement)
14th September, 1910, a bouncy baby boy by name John Kojo Sarfo Mensah is born to Opanyin Kofi Kyei (a goldsmith and a farmer) and Abena Amoanimaa at a small town in Ashanti Region by name Kokofu. Little did the parents know that this wonderful boy would be part of world, national and the church's history.
In 1922, John Mensah was converted to the Methodist church and became a chapel keeper. He helped his father in his farming work until he turned 20 and left for Cape Coast to become an apprentice driver and a mechanic. Four years later (1934), he obtained his driving license, set up his own transport business and married madam Abena Abebrese and had his only daughter Mrs. Markin known in private life as Ama Serwaa of blessed memory.
From 1939 to 1948, he had a successful business and added diamond prospecting to his old transport business. This was the early life of the prophet.
John Kojo Sarfo Mensah joined the church of Pentecost then Ghana Apostolic in 1950. In 1952, he had a special Holy Ghost baptism and was openly acknowledged PROPHET after series of prophesies concerning his mission. He is now known as PROPHET JOHN MENSAH.
The Holy Spirit baptism was preceded by a sixty (60) days fasting in the wilderness of Cape Coast, Ghana under a marked mango tree. He then went into voluntary celibacy until his death.
The Lord had already started working miracles through the Prophet. He put up a healing camp with some members of the Church of Pentecost at a popular place called Nduem, near Mfantipim Senior High School. The blind regained their sight, the deaf heard, the dumb spoke, the lunatic etc were all healed. Many were set free from the bondage of the devil.
Jealousy grew among his church pastors and in their quest to subdue him, the Pentecost church met to decide to ordain him a pastor. He was visited in his prayer camp and given the information which he refused on the grounds that he cannot read and write and above all, his calling was to be a prophet not a pastor. The church rejected him and on that same day 11th November, 1958, established the Church of Christ (Spiritual Movement). He was supported by most of the women and men like Paa Freeman, Paa Coleman, Paa Wilson, Paa Thompson and Paa Duncan.
The group grew in number and moved from Nduem, went to Madam Ekua Akraba?s House popularly known as Zorro House. A maternity home was established there with Madam Yaa Amina, a nursing sister in charge and was supported by madam Nana Kesewa.
After the establishment of the Church in November, 1958, the church held its first Christmas convention in Kumasi, thousands of people were attracted and the Lord used His Prophet tremendously.
From 1958 to 1971, many branches had been established in the Ashanti region, western region, Greater Accra region, Eastern region with Central region and Cape Coast as the home or Headquarters of the Church.
The Lord moved with the Prophet wherever he went and significant of his prophecy was prophesying about Ghana's Independence which occurred on the exact date and time a year after the prophecy.
To see to the prosperity of the church, the prophet sponsored individuals of the church to take up special profession to support the socio-physical aspect of his ministry. Notable among them are Mr. Kwesi Newton to study Natural Science, Elder Jacobs for Agriculture, Madam Yaa Amina Nursing and Elder Kotey a Theologian.
The Prophet in 1962 had dedicated his official residence to the Church and named it HOUSE OF THE LORD. He traveled in that same year on a special study tour with his private secretary to Canada, United States of America, Britain, France, Israel, Jordan and Italy among others.
In 1971, Prophet John Mensah was made the first President of the National Council of Spiritual Churches during which he visited places like Britain, Germany and Switzerland accompanied by his senior Pastor. In that same year, the Prophet held his last Christmas Convention at Nkurankan in Koforidua in the Eastern region and peacefully passed into glory on Sunday 16th January 1972 at his residence in Cape Coast around 3:25pm.
The church after the demise of the Prophet has undergone some metamorphosis and can currently boast of branches all over the Regions of Ghana except the Upper West Region which is yet to be tapped. It is worthy of note that, due to the tremendous works of the Prophet and the Founding Fathers, branches of the Church reach as far as Nigeria, Liberia, L'Cote D'Ivoire only to mention but a few as part of its foreign Missions. The Church is blessed with an International Mission in the United States of America

Named for their gleaming polished, ivory exterior, the whitebone tomes were originally created by Archmage Skezemo, who used the tomes as a tool to summon demons. The pages of the books appear to contain gibberish, lines, runes and sigils written in dried blood. A specifically created stone altar in his library contained grooves which the books would latch into, and if arranged in the right order with the books all opened at the correct pages, one could summon specific demons safely with minimal effort. A seventh book contained in the library itself holds the instructions for which pages to open for specific demons.
To fuel the immense magical power to open a portal to the infernal realm, Skezemo had only one option; he required the essence of six demons. The mage was wily, though, and sought out the Devil, Ngama Ngama, tricking her into telling him the ideal demons for the task and their weaknesses. Using the Devil's tricks, Skezemo overcame the demons and trapped their souls inside the ivory covers. As each book was possessed, the ivory shaped and rearranged itself to tell a tale of which demon resided within the book.
The demons residing within are now forever one with the tome. If the tome is destroyed, the demon will return, but if the beast is in turn destroyed, it's corpse will then dissolve back into the form of the book.
One feature of the Whitebone Tomes that Skezemo did not intend is that the demons' influence leeches through the book and into whoever holds it. This is a two-edged sword, because it means that the holder is granted additional power, but is also negatively influenced by the demon-book.
The books seem to be able to almost passively effect the world around them to end up where they want - they always seem to be able to find their way eventually to areas suited to the demons trapped within.
Books of Six
She, Graven'tolah the Bird of Prey
The Graven Tome
T'was a dreary eve 'pon the cliff when'st the Hellmage arrived. Through the blood of eagles and the old steel eye of Toakleth the sky-watcher, She, Graven'tolah was brought to the world. The winged Witch of Mokloeth screech'd with fury and dids't send forth her black ravens to rend the Hellmage's flesh. But the mage was prepared! And yes, he dids't send forth infernal flame to smite She, Graven'tolah's wicked birds from the air, and he bound the wily demon's wings to her body with cord woven of children's hair, and sent her a'plummeting from the rocky rise into the first Whitebone Tome.
Cover Mural
The Graven Tome's cover engraving depicts a raven sitting atop a branch of a dead tree, bordered by the moon in the background. Strewn across the ground at the base of the tree is a plethora of dead doves.
If the Graven Tome is on one's person, it grants a natural slow-fall effect. Carriers can glide off buildings and cliffs with ease.
The Graven Tome causes all non-raven birds within 50 yards to screech and caw uncontrollably. This makes it hard to go unnoticed, or to move silently. Ravens are attracted by the book, and can always be seen in the vicinity of the holder, silently watching, waiting. They do not do anything to the holder, but it can be quite unnerving having ravens watching you day and night. A high volume of ravens in one area is a good indication of the Graven Tome being nearby.
Possible Locations
The Graven Tome may sit within an abandoned building in the ruins of an ancient city. The correct building can be found because of all the flocks of ravens perched around it, on nearby trees and the roof. None will fly away when people approach. They will simply watch, silent.
Areas of high altitude are also a good place to seek The Graven Tome.
Alhgru, the living dark
Book of living dark
T'was a dark cave the Hellmage walked through,
He was likely to be eaten by Ahlgru.
A line of fire, at the entrance he drew,
And the beast of swirling shadows quickly withdrew.
As the Hellmage delved deeper, the shadows all grew,
And in all his empty glory, he met the demon, Ahlgru.
The Hellmage lit a sanctified brand of Bamboo
and retreating, Ahlgru made a great hullabaloo!
Victory at hand the Hellmage began to pursue:
He cornered Alhgru;
the white brand he threw,
and Ahlgru he slew,
Whose soul went into
Tome number two.
Cover Mural
The Book of Living Dark has no cover mural; it's cover is completely blank and smooth.
One who holds the Book of Living Dark in their hands is able to blend in with shadows perfectly, so long as they remain still.
If a person has this book in their belongings, they are protected from all forms of magical scrying.
Those who own this book find themselves being ignored more; their opinions hold less weight and people seem to take an instant disliking to them. All charisma related rolls suffer.
Possible Locations
The Book of Living Dark always seems to find its way into dark places; cellars, caves, mines and deep underwater.
Aleatorem, keeper of the Dice
The Gambler's rulebook
It is said that if one wanders the streets of the Tellamo slums for long enough, while the moon is new and with purpose in your heart you will eventually find yourself hopelessly lost. Do not stop to find your bearing - you must continue walking the streets without direction, traversing dark alleys and narrow, unkempt roads. Soon you will find the buildings will swallow you, their sheer walls and the narrowness of the streets restricting the view of the night sky. Finally, you will come across a building whose architecture seems not quite right - as though it were not made by human hands, but looked like it was supposed to be. This is the Aleatorem's house of ill-repute.
If one walks to the door they will be greeted by a doorman who will deny you access to the building. To gain entrance, you must speak the phrase, "One soul is the price that is needed to play; one soul is the price I am willing to pay."
If you speak this to the doorman he will let you though, but if you try to force or trick your way in, you will immediately black out, waking up the next morning with a massive headache, and will never be able to find the place again.
Upon entering, one will find an assortment of humans and not-quite humans; Soul traders who offer many services from sexual satisfaction to assassins, rare item traders and people who will see to it you gain a position of power. All they ask for is your soul, once you die.
In a dark corner Aleatorem is said to sit, rolling dice and keeping watch over his domain. The beast, it is said, looks almost human, except for the beady black eyes under his twisted top-hat and his needle-teeth, permanently bared in a predatory grin.
One may challenge Aleatorem to a game of dice if they wish; if you win, you get to keep your soul and Aleatorem, bound by demonic contract, will grant the winner one boon which is within his power to give. The dice are fixed, of course, and one cannot win unless you bring your own dice and demand that they be used. Aleatorem will refuse, and bargain and ridicule and threaten you but if you do not give in to his wiles, he will eventually agree.
It is said the Hellmage went down this path and found Aleatorem. He brought his own dice and bested the trickster demon. For his boon, he simply asked Aleatorem to become one with his Whitebone tome. Aleatorem was furious, but had to comply. Before he surrendered his essence to Archmage Skezemo, however, he laid down a curse, yelling to the patrons of his house of ill-repute that no business could be continued within the walls unless someone destroyed the book and freed the demon once more.
How the Hellmage got out of that building alive is anyone's guess, but it is said the soul traders seek the book to this day!
Cover Mural
The Gambler's Rulebook has an engraving of two cobwebbed dice resting on snake eyes. In the back, many sets of otherwise featureless eyes peer menacingly at the dice.
Having the Gambler's Rulebook on your person makes people have uncanny luck. In gaming terms, if players fail any dice roll they earn a second 'luck' roll on their failed roll with a +5 dc.
anyone who possesses this book will be accosted ceaselessly by soul traders, disreputable people, assassins and lowlives, all trying to destroy the book to re-release Aleatorem. The book can be magically scried so they will always seem to know the rough location that it's in. If one ALSO has the Book of Living Dark on them, they will be immune from this scying, however. It is advisable not to seek out the Gambler's Rulebook until you have the Book of Living Dark.
Possible Locations
Aleatorem's house of Ill-Repute is the most likely place to find this book - or rather, the demon himself; it is likely he's already been freed and the only way to get the book back is to slay him (or trick him with a dice game again).
Otherwise, this book could be found in places of gambling. Casinos, race tracks and the like.
Finally, a GM could have this book already in Skezemo's library, just waiting to be taken. The library will hold sufficient wards to hide the book from scrying but as soon as they leave it's walls, the players will begin to be hunted. The smart thing to do is leave the book there until they find book 2.
Shahra and Slaine
Codex of Decay
Pestilent Bible
Morbul was deep in the grips of an epidemic of massive proportions when the Archmage Skezemo arrived at our town. We had already tried dozens of antidotes, herbal remedies and even asked the clergy for help but none could cure the pock-marking sickness and decay which spread through our citizens. Now, this Skezemo arrived and told us the horrible truth; it was no natural illness we were witnessing but rather it was twin demons plaguing the town. Shahra of Decay and Slaine of Pestilence; the fel witches of Antlicoa were hiding somewhere in the city. Archmage Skezemo hunted down the beasts to an cellar. He went in alone and was down there for hours, but finally he returned with two white books - he did not give us details of how he slew them, but within days those who were still alive within Morbul made a full recovery. Skezemo asked for no payment and left the town swiftly after that.
It was not until some months after the fact that we learned that it was in fact this 'Hell Mage' who unleashed Shahra and Slaine into Morbul himself. May the gods damn him to an eternity of pain!
Cover Murals
The Codex of Decay has an apple etched upon it. In the morning the apple appears healthy, but when observed at in the afternoon or night-time, the apple is seen to be rotting away. The apple is completely rotted by pre-dawn but once the sun rises it appears as new once more. The Codex of Decay begins to smell like rotting meat afternoon turns to night, and by early morning it reeks.
The Pestilent Bible Has a similar progressing cover - at dawn it is empty. However as it is observed later through the day, flies and insects appear to be etched on it. By the time night falls the cover is filled with the image of these bugs. Occasionally - and more often at the end of the day - flies and other insects seem to pull out of the book cover itself. If someone were to keep this book in their bag all day and then open the bag at night, a swarm of insects will spill out; some of them carrying disease.
If you actively hold the codex of decay in one hand and touch any organic matter with the other hand, it will decay at a vastly accelerated rate. food will decompose in a couple of minutes and wood will turn to rot quickly. This can be useful to destroy wooden cages or walls, get rid of food, decompose corpses quickly or even as a torture device.
Holding the Pestilent Bible in your hand does a similar thing - any food you touch with your free hand will be poisoned. Resting your hand on a person will sicken them and using a weapon with your other hand will cause it's cut to poison the victim.
The Codex of Decay will cause all food to rot within a day, meaning that if one were to travel distances with the book, they must survive off the land.
Ownership of The Pestilent Bible makes a person violently ill within a day. If one kept the book (or were forced to keep the book), they would be dead within three days. This illness passes within a couple of hours if the book is given away, meaning the best way to carry this book is by sharing the burden with the group, passing the book from person to person several times a day.
Possible Locations
Both books could be found lost in graveyards, in dead forests, with the undead or anywhere that plague and decay run rampant.
Wearied Tome
Ngama Ngama advised the Hellmage that the final tome was to be filled by Somnaq the elder. But there was problem - because Ngama Ngama knew of no weakness the aged demon held. Nevertheless, the Archmage knew he had to try, so he sought out the demon - Deep below a sandy tomb in a cavern he rested, in the middle of a black-glass forest. An ancient creature of wood and deep roots was Somnaq, and when the Hellmage entered his clearing, the demon beckoned him forward. There was no great battle. There was no matching of wits, and great trickery. For hours, they merely talked. The Hellmage talked to Somnaq of his plans for power; of his ambition and his drive. He also admitted to Somnaq the reason for his being there. Somnaq surprised by Hellpriest by revealing that he already knew of Skezemo. He told the mage that he was wearied and old, and already knew too much of the world. He was prepared to share his power. Somnaq would relish the chance to be taken from the accursed forest Black-Glass Forest, for there were things in there that even he feared.
And so Somnaq passed his essence into the final Whitebone Tome. The Hellmage had his set.
Cover Mural
The cover of this book has no mural. Instead, it is cracked and worn. Chips and nicks are taken out of it, and It feels like it would fall apart in your hands if you mishandle it.
Holding this book in one hand and touching another person with your other hand will cause whoever you touch fall alseep instantly (depending on saving rolls).
Having the Wearied Tome in your possession grants you great wisdom.
Owning this book makes you feel unnaturally old - you will have all the penalties to strength and health that being old will normally give.
A great sense of weariness comes with this tome. Not only will whoever is in the vicinity feel tired and worn, but whoever owns this book is at risk of falling asleep where they stand, randomly throughout the day. The longer this book is held, the more likely this is to happen and the longer the sleep will last.
If someone keeps this book for over a month, they are at risk of falling asleep and never waking up.
Possible Locations
'Sleeping Beauty' - This book may be found within the hands of a sleeping owner, clasped tightly to their chest.
It's likely this book will find itself somewhere quiet and calm. Libraries, quiet glades, tombs.
Otherwise, this book could also be found within Skezemo's library.

Then as now, I refuse to let go of the idea that to embark on even the most common encounter with art . . . is to think freely about social life, ideally to talk freely, and to summon a human disposition for speech, for disagreement and otherness that is part of aesthetic experience. Rhea Anastas, "Being Opposite," Tuesday Evenings at the Modern, March 21, 2017
Rhea Anastas delivers an informative and poetic presentation on the past and present of her practice as an art historian, critic, curator, and Associate Professor at the University of California, Irvine. The title of this Tuesday Evenings presentation, "Being Opposite," refers to Anastas's personal take on Orchard, a twelve-person artist-run gallery on New York's Lower East Side, of which she was a cofounder. Early on Anastas credits the artist Jason Simon with the perfect description of Orchard as "an idea-driven art space," which, Anastas explains, rose out of the shadow of the death of Colin de Land, who ran a commercial gallery seen as a "criticism room rather than a show room."
Anastas goes on to lay out exquisite instructions for how to listen to this presentation with "idea one" and "idea two," which includes astute advice from the poet Jackson Mac Low that frees the audience of burdensome presumptions and encourages a trust of the aptitude of art.
After spending time with Orchard, Anastas moves on to the more current endeavor of an essay she was writing on Election Day, November 4, 2016, for Artforum, concerning the artist Beverly Buchanan, in which she touches on the conditions of Buchanan's career as an African American female artist who came through the civil rights movement of the 1960s. Then bringing us back full circle, Anastas closes with the question, "What do artists own?"

Nations in the region
Australia (5.7% of its population is in the Tropics), Fiji, French Polynesia, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, New Caledonia, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Island, Tonga, Tuvalu, USA (only the State of Hawaii which has 0.04% of the US population) and Vanuatu.
- Life expectancy has increased from 49 years in the early 1950s to 67 years in 2010; maternal mortality has dropped by 37%, and the under 5 mortality rate has been fallen by more than 70%.
- Tertiary enrolments per 100,000 population are the second highest in the Tropics and well above overall world numbers.
- The region has the lowest CO2 emissions but the highest per capita CO2-equivalent emissions of green house gas emissions in the Tropics. Excluding Australia and Hawaii, per capita emissions are the third lowest in the Tropics and well below the world figure.
- The region had the lowest level of organic water pollution.
- In the past 20 years an additional three million people were using an improved drinking water source.
- The number of undernourished people fell from 15% in 1990 to 10% in 2012, and the people living in extreme poverty declined from 31% to 28%.
- It is the only region of the Tropics to report a decline in the urbanisation rate.
- It has the lowest rate (15%) of slum population – the only region better than the Rest of the World.
- The Human Development Index, which combines indicators of life expectancy, educational attainment and income into a composite index, is the highest in the tropical world, although when Hawaii and tropical Australia are excluded it is bettered by four other regions.
- TB incidence has increased since 1990 due to increasing rates in PNG and three small Pacific Island nations – two of which had increases of more than 200%.
- Micronesia, Tonga and Samoa had obesity rates of 72%, 71% and 51% respectively in 2010 – the highest national rates in the world. PNG and the Solomon Islands had obesity rates of 5% and 12%.
- Youth literacy rates decreased slightly, due to PNG where the increase in the literate youth population did not keep pace with the increase in the youth population.
- 47% of the world's coral reefs are in the region and the reefs at risk have increased from seven in 1998 to 28 in 2010. But more than 40% of coral reefs were at low risk and marine protected areas have increased by almost 10%.
- Aquaculture production has increased from only 70 tonnes in 1950 to 12,700 tonnes in 2010.
- Deforestation and overgrazing were the main causes of a 34% increase in land degradation between 1981 and 2003, and Oceania is one of only two regions to report increases in the rate of primary forest losses and the only region to experience a decline in agricultural land area. The majority of this decline is in tropical Australia, which also drove a 60% drop in sheep/goat numbers on 1980 levels.

Last year I declared I am not interested in competitions. I said I simply like to ride and feel how my muscle power carries me over the tarmac and the wind dries the sweat from my face. That is all I need… That was in spring last year. I am not sure anymore how, but somehow I ended up signing for a short local bike race that summer. The mere 3 minutes that I managed to hang on with the peloton – I got dropped on the first gentle hill, gave me that chilling sensation of being part of something big, fast and dangerous. So, I tried another race, lingered on in a small group and only got dropped in the final bunch sprint. And all I wanted from there on was to get better and hold on with them. Yeah, I guess I got hooked…
Misha got the bug exactly two seasons earlier and he immediately offered his services of a 'personal coach'. I could not say 'no' to that! And I do like to train, right? I can't give away all the secrets in one blog post, so lets just say – it was a busy winter. And luckily the summer schedule was similarly packed with all kinds of local road races.
The first one went really great – I managed to hold on for some 10 km – all the way to a steep 200 m climb, where I immediately got dropped of course – but did not give up and came to the finish line with the peloton of the second group that started 5 minutes after us. In the second ride of the season a similar climb was some 25 km into the race and I could hold on until then. I have manged to finish that 92 km race in 2 hours and 45 minutes. Thanks to the 'vacuum' in the peloton I managed to beat my personal best on the course by 25 minutes!
I was very pleased with myself and as a reward I got myself on a bike-packing trip from Trondheim to Tromsø that I described in one of my earlier posts. The whole undertake was quite a typical novice mistake. I was not ready for such a big thing. After six consecutive 200 km 'stages' the lower part of my quadriceps developed such an unpleasant pain that I was sure I messed up my knees. While I do have to admit I like to suffer a bit (just like all the people who enjoy turning pedals), pain is not my game, so I decided to wait until it gets away. The relatively inactive recovery took me about a month and I voluntarily skipped some of the most attractive races of the season.
But I got back on the road just on time for 'El Classico'. Must be my favorite Tromsø race of the season! Where I only got dropped half way up the climb. Fantastic!
Bottom line? Maybe the best part of the story is that there is still a lot of space for improvements. And that there will be many more chances. The peloton will be waiting for me at the start line on the same weekends every season.

Confidentiality Clauses in Lease and Sale Agreements
Many leases and sale and purchase agreements contain confidentiality clauses. They are used often when transactions contain special structures or incentives with commercial sensitivity claimed as the reason for this. In our experience confidentiality is over used in both commercial and residential transactions.
From a landlords or vendors view they often do not want the structure of the deal known as it may undermine their position on other negotiations they are involved in.
If engaging a valuer, it is important that they can get behind the actual deal of comparable sales and leases. Certainly if you were acquiring a property and denied information on the sale of a relevant property, then any market change that may be reflective from that transaction cannot be reflected in the property you are acquiring. This would be regarded as acquiring without full knowledge and could prove to be negative, neutral or positive to your situation.
We have found that confidentiality clauses typically fall within what is acceptable market parameters of structure or incentive. As such they aren't shielding anything other than market norms, and can be regarded as unnecessary. It is when the parameters or content of confidentiality are not revealed that such information should be viewed with circumspect.

The holiday season, here once again, represents the pinnacle of human joy. Laughter, joking and light banter often decorate the cherished interactions between close friends and family. These people know us, know our stories and accept us for who we are. This treasured trust is the merited result of years of work at maintaining invaluable relationships. Trust leads to the respect required to accept disingenuous humor, sometimes at our own expense, …and with the federal government I am not quite there yet.
Enter the annual presidential pardon of two turkeys for the Thanksgiving holiday.
As human beings we tend not to tease or make playful fun with the strangers we encounter in daily life. Trust does not yet exist in these relationships. There is no familiarity with individual humor and what may be jovial fun could easily be taken with offense due to the lack of a substantial foundation in the relationship built on trust. That's the issue with this so called pardon. Years of deception, along with the sage advice of the founders of this country, have created mistrust in every action undertaken by government officials. The hypocritical act of sparing two birds whose very existence goes better with stuffing and gravy only serves to further erode the tenuous relationship between citizen and state.
Let me be clear, (I fully accept the collective groan that stems from the use of this intro phrase) this is not a substantial act in and of itself. The folksy ceremony is meant to lighten the devilishly droll day-to-day that is Washington life. However, this act is significant because it represents more of the same. As Obamacare advisor Jonathan Gruber repeatedly notes, in a very on-the-cuff manner, the stupidity of the American voter is essential for successful deception.
The last thing that the feds, the president or those esteemed powers who can't quite design a website ought to engage in is a practice where blatant hypocrisy is on display. The president, and most of congress, still eat turkey. Which means that somewhere a turkey had to die. So, the economic trade-off follows no logical pattern, another staple of present-day government action.
There is now an online poll where voters get to choose which turkeys will survive. How quaint. (The other turkeys view this more as a literal "Hunger Game") But to metaphor-ize based upon the standard rules of child-rearing, if you haven't done your homework, you don't get to play video games.
Shallow symbolic gestures ring hollow when taxpayers foot the bill, especially when respect and approval for such "leaders" is wearing quite thin. President Obama even made light of his recent executive order regarding immigration when he stated, "I am taking an action fully within my legal authority – the same kind of action taken by Democrat and Republican presidents before me – to spare the lives of two turkeys – Mac and Cheese." Way to mix business and pleasure Mr. President. Except, he is the only one pleased.
Unlike the close relatives that make the holidays brighter, the feds are our creepy uncle who can't sit still without a child on his lap. He keeps poking and playing, "just joshing' around," as his mustache squirmily wriggles.
*Collective shudder*
We are the kids who aren't kids anymore. We have grown up and remember all the lies made in the name of fun or better yet, the greater good. The jokes are not funny, and we now realize that they never were. Experience and information have wisened us to this impostor of shallow humor. We are not as stupid as he would like to believe.
Keep your insincere ceremonies and false idols Mr. President. Clock in, clock out and follow the Constitution. That is all we need from you.

Helping Refugees and Immigrants Start a New Life
Cleveland is home to an increasing number of refugees and immigrants who have been uprooted from their homelands to flee persecution, torture, violence and even death.
Community West Foundation provided $40,000 for two agencies that make it easier for our new neighbors to adjust to life in a new country.
The Refugee Response Program cares for refugees from six nations – Burma, Bhutan, The Congo, Senegal, Iraq, and Somalia. Refugee Response works to help these refugees brought here by the government and Catholic Charities, which only support them for up to six short months.
The Refugees Response Program works closely with Asian Services in Action. We provided funding to this agency also, to help meet the needs of newcomers at various locations – everything from emergency food to language skills to how to access health care.
