As the former partner of a genderqueer person, an acquaintance and ally of a number of transgender people, an out feminist queer, and a "bisexual" who's attracted to people of various genders, I've done a lot of reading and learning about transgender people, identity, and issues since the late 1990s. And although I don't currently do public speaking about anything except social movements in Argentina, I've been afforded plenty of opportunities in the last decade or so to educate people about transgender what-have-you.
Most people who've asked me questions are well-meaning but afraid to offend, so I try to start with the basics and indicate that I'm open to answering anything. Many folks don't know where to begin and seem to think it's safer to keep their mouths shut; I can't count the number of times co-workers I like and respect have mumbled, "Uh, I don't know anything about that…" and then clamped their mouths shut. This may be a wise choice, given the number of non-transgender (called cisgender in academic circles) people who think it's just fine to make trans people the butt of jokes or the monster in their latest "art" work.
My friend and ex, G., recently had the misfortune of having to deal with one of these smug asshats at a public ceremony. Friends of G's partner were receiving their master's degrees from a low-residency creative writing program, and one of the graduation-weekend readers was a middle-aged, white, male, presumably heterosexual and cisgender fiction writer who happens to teach at two educational institutions in my hometown. G. emailed me after the graduation to ask if I knew anything about this writer, reporting that the guy had read from his latest story, about a doctor who medicates a female-to-male transsexual with too large a dose of testosterone, turning the trans man into a gorilla. G., out to celebrate a happy occasion with a loved one, was instead reminded that the mainstream culture sees hir and other trans people as freaks and that so-called artists still feel free to lampoon them.
Ze fled the room in tears, and later emailed the director of the creative writing program, who offered her apology and forwarded G's complaint to Mr. Clueless Writer. As we'd expected, Mr. CW did not apologize for having turned a transgender character into an animal and a laughingstock, but instead responded to G's email with a defense of his right to write about anything he cared to in a fictional account. [Note: Mr. CW did apologize later, after I posted this.] In other words, the same indefensible manure my classmates and I used to have shoveled at us 20 years ago when we protested racist, misogynist, homo-hating poems and stories in our master's-level creative writing workshops.
I'm happy that some things have changed in the past two decades and that some heterosexual, cisgender, white men do get it. One of them, Dan Solomon, wrote a column yesterday in response to an offensive portrayal of trans people in England's Guardian newspaper. Solomon recognizes his privilege as a cis het white guy, and writes about going beyond compassion to become an ally in trans people's struggles.
Becoming an ally instead of a silent bystander afraid to ask questions begins with self-education, which is pretty easy these days with web access. A few reading suggestions are below. Of course every trans person's experience is different, so I'm including the links to only a few articles and sites.
A good place to begin is with the links in Solomon's column:
Sebastian's Trans Etiquette 101:
Butch Wonders blog: "How Non-Trans* People Can Be Trans Friendly":
Professor and truly creative writer Jennifer Finney Boylan has a new parenting column in Psychology Today and has published op-eds in the New York Times:

"It's not like a hostile takeover. We're going to work with those schools. It's not about punishing anyone. It's about working together," said Gov. Schwarzenegger.
Collectively, the 97 low-performing school districts educate a third of California's 6.3 million students -- nearly half in those districts are poor; a quarter of the students there do not speak English fluently.
Firing administrators and replacing the curricula are among the sanctions the state could impose.
Ravenswood City Elementary in San Mateo is one of the seven schools facing the harshest punishment. Seventy percent of students there are English language learners.
"Our test scores have been moving up -- slowly, but they have been moving in a positive direction," said Maria De la Vega, the Ravenswood Schools superintendent. "Again, we have lots of new teachers. So it's going to take time."
No question, it'll be a tough road for schools to work their way off the low-performing list. But at Northwood School, the principal says there is hope. After years of being an under-performing school, it finally turned itself around last year.
Teachers targeted the 40 percent of students for whom English is a second language.
"We set up intervention programs specifically for them. We focused on non-linguistic representations. That means using pictures, graphics organizers," said Renee Scott-Femenella, the Northwood School principal.
The question is, can the governor keep that list from growing as he readies to cut $4 billion from all schools in the coming budget year?

What you know bout' Bigbug?
So this is my current Tyranid build for 2000 pts...
Hive Tyrant w/ 2*Talons, Adrenal Glands, Leech Essence, Paroxysm
2*Tyrant Guard
2*Zoanthropes w/ Pod 160
2*Hive Guard 100
8*Ygmarls 184
10*Termagaunts 50
10*Termagaunts 50
Tervigon w/ Cluster Spines 160
Tervigon w/ Cluster Spines 160
5*Genestealers, Broodlord w/ Scythes 118
5*Genestealers, Broodlord w/ Scythes 118
Trygon 200
Trygon 200
Trygon 200
I really feel this list is a re-envisioning of the old 4th ed. Big Bug list. The biggest reason is the scoring monstrous creatures, and their ability to create more scoring units. But also, in keeping with 5th ed. being more BADASS, I have made sure they are all 6 wound monstrous creatures. The exception to this being the Broodlords, who really are almost monstrous creatures themselves. It really sucks in KP games...

I'd consider cutting the brood lord, or the yrgmal for some points for upgrades. Let the tyrant keep his sword/whip, give him a gun. The talons really arn't needed for him.
Put some upgrades on the tervs, that is part of their gimick, giving the gaunts tox sacs and adrenal.
And nothing else is as fast as those trygons, make one of them a prime to keep the other two in check.
Just my thoughts.

All reasonable points-
-I have though about upgrades, but like you said, I'd almost have to lose a whole unit just to get them.
- The sacs and glands on the Terv are expensive and I've found they do nothing but cause irrational choices, I should not try to convince myself my Termagaunst will do anything but score...
-That is a very expensive upgrade and my Tervigons generally advance with my Trygons fr cover, so they have plenty synapse...

This list is really good and I had a fun time against it. If anything you should add two more Hiveguard to make the list really good! However it would make the army less enjoyable to fight.
I really think I could have beat you in that great game we played. REMATCH!

Yeah, got a win and a draw out of it Thursday night, with Termagaunts killing Lysander, Astorath and a Terminator Librarian...
The one things I notice about this list is that no matter what, even in a win, I have very few models left barring Gaunts...

A couple of concerns:
I'm not convinced the broodlord is superior enough to a genestealer to justify the 3x cost. Aura is good, but the AOE isn't going to overlap enough to really impact high LD armies more than being able to deliver several more attacks. Rerolling 1s doesn't seem to be a good choice over more bodies to soak wounds. Maybe replace them with 14 hormagaunts with toxin sacs?
The Ymgarl seem to be too much a hit or miss choice for their cost. Bad timing on a terrain piece and the unit may never even hit the table. Without Hive Commander on your Tyrant the Ymgarl, spores, and Trygon are going to be less reliable in forcing your opponent into bad decisions.
The Tyrant might want to invest in a heavy venom cannon and get a whip/bonesword instead. This will help with your inconsistent anti armor (along with Hive Commander) much more than the fairly weak Leech Essence. AP2 just doesn't overcome the S3.
Was it cost that lead you to skip Catalyst on the Tervigon (or onslaught)?

311 to the rescue - The Boston Globe
An Allston mention in this story about the "311" systems that other cities have for citizens to report any variety of problems or issues.
"Allston resident Kim Malo says that she was pleased City Hall finally fixed a hinky pedestrian signal in her neighborhood, but was chagrined to find out officials said they had no documentation of her regular complaints.
''No record of the call means there's no record this has been an ongoing problem,' says Malo, 48."

Around the world, a few technophiles might feel almost personally acquainted with the shortwave transmitters formerly at the HCJB Global site in Pifo, Ecuador.
With walk-in access to facilitate monitoring and maintenance, five mission-built transmitters sported "HC" as their brand. Four HC100 units sent out programming at 100,000 watts whereas the transmitting capacity of the lone HC500 on the transmitter floor in Pifo was five times as much. Challenges surfaced in keeping transmitters going at high altitude, but in the transmitters' final years in Pifo, missionary engineers reported monthly averages near 100 percent with minimal downtime.
Designed and built by missionary engineers at the Indiana-based HCJB Global Technology Center, the HC100s became known as T6 (T for transmitter), T7, T8 and T9 with the HC500 being T3. Of these, none remain in Ecuador following the last shortwave radio programming that aired from Pifo in November 2009.
While broadcasts were still emanating from the "Voice of the Andes," T9 was shipped to HCJB Global-Australia's international broadcast facility in Kununurra in 2005. The last to leave Ecuador was T8, returning to its birthplace at the Technology Center, joining T6 and T7.
David Russell, who directs the Technology Center, said his staff is "currently in the process of implementing a design change to two HC100 shortwave transmitters that will enable them to broadcast in DRM (digital) mode."
DRM stands for Digital Radio Mondiale, a consortium of broadcasters and manufacturers that shares its research discoveries on using digital radio. Mission engineers have been demonstrating the DRM standard to Ecuador's telecommunications authorities as the South American country determines which broadcast standards to use.
Both HCJB Global-Australia and TWR-Guam requested the design change, having "conducted their own audience research and determined their own needs and strategy for the new broadcast technology," Russell added.
Charlie Jacobson, who is working with his engineer father, Herb Jacobson, on the digital radio project at Elkhart, said T7 is one of the transmitters being refurbished, whereas T6 and T8 will probably be used for parts. T7 is scheduled to be shipped to HCJB Global-Australia's international broadcast facility in 2013, nearly a decade after the Technology Center shipped the first HC100 to Kununurra.
From the Pifo site in late 2009, the last languages heard were German, Low German and Kulina, an indigenous language spoken in Brazil. Today HC100s are "belting their voices out into Southeast and South Central Asia from Kununurra," according to Shelley Weeks, a technician scheduled to arrive with her engineer husband, Brent, at the HCJB Global-Australia World Office in Melbourne on Dec. 9. Staff members there have received mail from nearly 60 countries in response to the broadcasts from Kununurra in 20 languages.
Among these languages at least two—Bhojpuri and Chattisgarhi—were first committed to by the mission more than two decades ago. In 1985 HCJB Global and other international broadcasters began researching language groups, working together with the goal of making Christian broadcasts available in all of the world's major languages.
Last July HCJB Global-Australia began broadcasting from its new international broadcast facility, with fantastic results, according to Christopher Kirubakaran, a radio partner in India. While visiting donor Kirubakaran wrote, "I've been listening to the broadcast here in Singapore—it's just like listening to an FM station. The new antennas have made a huge difference." On Sunday, April 21, 2013, the staff plans to officially dedicate the new broadcast facility.
The broadcast languages and letter count could both grow next year as an HC100 once used in Ecuador is put back into service at Kununurra some 10,000 miles away. In addition, antenna arrays that once graced the Andean skyline are going up "down under," according to Steve Sutherland, a former Pifo engineer now serving in Kununurra.
Sutherland wrote in October of "spending 10 hours a day (going on a week now) as we are putting up the screen of the steerable antenna," referring to a directional antenna with a major lobe that can be shifted in direction. He anticipates having it operational "after the wet season in 2013."
The regular rains so saturate everything that "during the wet season we cannot drive anywhere that is off of a hard-packed road with any kind of vehicle. Actually, you even sink in some if you try to walk on the paddock," Sutherland said.
Carl Smith, a consulting engineer and longtime mission friend, designed the steerable antenna for another international broadcaster, Voice of America. The design was modified at Pifo using an egg beater-shaped antenna in front of the screen.
After the mission's forays into radio and television established HCJB Global on Ecuador's media landscape, the steerable antenna, along with missionary Clarence Moore's cubical quad antenna, placed mission engineers among those in the vanguard of international broadcast technologies worldwide.
As the former Pifo site is grazed, harvested or eyed by developers, some antenna tower sections were repurposed. They now serve at Ecuador's first evangelical indigenous station, La Voz de AEIICH, high in the Andes at Colta in Chimborazo province. Missionary Hermann Schirmacher said that other tower sections are slated for use on an FM repeater at Lago Agrio in the jungle province of Sucumbíos.

Welcome to our blog, appropriately named "Hooch Talk".
Stop by often to read about craft distillery industry related materials that are informative for distillery professionals.
Everyone at some point in their life, probably several points really, will stop and ask, "Why is such and such called X, Y, or Z?" Sometimes the answer is pretty straightforward, like pizza being the Italian word for pie or any other instance where English has taken an untranslated foreign word hostage and used it to its own end. Other times, the answer isn't so simple. Case in point – the word moonshine. The origin and meaning may not be what you expect, or even what you think you might know.
It's hard to make it through a day without seeing an ad for prescription medicine. It doesn't matter if you're an old schooler still watching broadcast TV and reading magazines, or a cord cutter hoping the "skip ad" option comes up in the middle of a boner pill commercial. From cancer, restless leg syndrome, depression, to diabetes, there is a pill for everything it seems.
Sometimes it's easy to forget that celebrities are actual people with their own interests and hobbies. After all, we almost always only see them in their role as entertainers. That one-dimensional image is easy to get locked into our heads. So, when we look at a celebrity strike out and do something outside of what they are known for, we instinctively take notice - assuming it's a celebrity we care about and not a Kardashian. These things usually end up being a fashion line, maybe a restaurant or a random side project apart from what they are best known for. Other times, it's something unusual.
The world is so familiar with the concept of wine tasting that it has spawned countless numbers of people who throw out all manner of wine tasting jargon while at parties or a fancy restaurant, even though they have no idea what they are talking about. They are also the type who hide their lack of knowledge behind a contemptible sneer when someone brings up whiskey tasting. Whiskey has every bit the levels of taste, aroma, and character as any wine, and thanks to the hard work and dedication of craft distillers around the world, everyone is starting to find out this remarkable fact for themselves.
What will historians say about 2017? Whatever it is, chances are they will need a drink first. Things have gotten so crazy in the world and national politics that when the Pentagon admits that UFO's are real, nobody notices. And with 2018 starting off with kids eating Tide Pods, chances are future historians are going to die from alcohol poisoning before they finish out talking about this decade. It will be up to us to make sure those drinks get made, so let's take a look at some of the big things that hit the craft distillery industry this year good, bad, and in between.
…Or maybe it doesn't. I'm sure that you can find someone on Reddit that will swear up and down that they and a friend tried some in Europe, and some "super freaky" stuff happened. There are also the tales we heard in college where a cousin of a friend of a friend smuggled some in and had a bad trip where he ended up in a mental institution. Movies like Moulin Rouge with the green absinthe fairy scene don't do anything to dissuade people from buying into this weird reputation of absinthe being the LSD of liquors. However, the truth is far less psychedelic.
It's that season again, and chances are you will be entertaining at some point during the holidays. Or you may need to entertain yourself at one of those more boring parties with an open bar. Or maybe it's been a long day of shopping or a night of hobnobbing at a dry party, and you need a drink to get over the trauma from the boredom, but you want to keep it festive, so a whiskey straight isn't going to cut it. Whatever your reason, here are some great holiday cocktails to whip up.
We have all been to or at least head about bars and restaurants with crazy themes or a gimmick to get people through the door. Maybe the most well-known is the 20s style speakeasies all gussied up like a prohibition era bar, complete with a flapper on her iPhone. There are also your basic theme restaurants which are all over big tourist spots. Nashville has several "honky-tonks" around 2nd Avenue that look like a mix of saloons and cattle barns, sans the smell. We also have the big chains like Planet Hollywood and The Hard Rock Café in places like Vegas and L.A.
We've all heard of Black Friday—the day after Thanksgiving. But for those of us in the craft whiskey business, it's the Wednesday before, Blackout Wednesday, that kicks off the holidays.
Once again, it's time for Father's Day. The people who created this holiday really knew what they were doing by putting it after Mother's Day. For one, it keeps mom happy. Second, Mother's Day is more expensive. The gifts have to be more extravagant, the restaurants nicer, etc. Even the cards have more thought behind them and are fancier. This extra cost and effort can leave a kid's wallet somewhat depleted once Father's Day rolls around. All is not lost though.
Between temperance moralists wanting to create as much of a backdoor version of prohibition as they can and the politician's desire to squeeze every cent they can out of booze, the alcohol industry is bombarded by strange and arcane laws. And the stronger the booze, the more likely it is for a beverage to be hit by said laws. This usually shows up as legislation that prevents liquor sales in grocery stores or barring alcohol sales on Sundays. We have gotten used to those as being a fact of life, but some laws are just plain bat-$#!* crazy. Some are more funny than practical, but others are the kind that can put the damper on a good time while simultaneously not doing anything to fix the problems they were meant to solve. Take a look at a few of these.
One of the best things about the craft distilling industry is how it is changing the way people see liquor. For decades, it's been a giant corporate whiskey maker's game, with other spirits relegated to the minors or just something you add to make a proper drink. That glass ceiling was cracked when small distilleries showed that a better product could be made and that Jack, Jim, and Crown weren't the only choices around. They are also showing us that whiskey itself isn't the only spirit that can be made with artisan attention to quality. This loving dedication to making some of the best non-whisky liquors isn't without its pitfalls, however. Let's use rum to illustrate this point.
It's not known exactly when alcohol entered the diet. Some experts relate it back to prehistoric times and fermented fruits. Others offer accounts of Ancient Chinese wine or Egyptian beer. But, regardless of where it started, one thing is indisputable about the history of alcohol consumption—it always led to a good time accompanied by some rowdy behavior and some loud noise.
Saint Patrick's Day is a fine holiday. Something about getting rid of snakes, and achieving sainthood. It's probably quite an interesting story, but I always end up coming back around to what makes the day great – whiskey. Specifically, Irish Whiskey because green beer doesn't cut it.
Well, the big day is here. Inauguration Day. Now we get to see the peaceful transfer of power from the president to president-elect of the most powerful and influential nation in history. Half of you will see this as a rollback of the progress made on many fronts over the last fifty years. The other half will see today as the first day of a brighter future where the shackles will have been taken off the economy, after nearly two decades of malaise, and prosperity will return to all. To each his own. Don't let this day, and your views on it ruin your relationships.
The year is almost over and now we turn to our friends and family to share the love and connection we feel to those closest to us. As much as we care about the people around us, sometimes it's difficult to find the right words at the right time. As nice as it would be to sound clever or insightful, most of us end up droning on with uninspired crap like, "Sam you are awesome. And Linda, you're also awesome. It's been great and stuff."
For those of us in the craft distillery biz, doing an extra bit of "product testing" on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving is just one of the perks of the job. We aren't the only ones wanting to do a little celebration though, or even a drink or two to forget. It's an overlooked tradition that might be important for your distillery.
Every job has its own bits of stress that goes along with it, and that goes double for being President of the United States. Even during the years without wars and depressions, there's always the other headaches that come from running the country. Past or present it doesn't matter. It's no surprise that most of our presidents liked a drink or three to deal with the long days, or to start one off. Most of them stuck to beers, wine, or various kinds of liquor. Not that there's anything wrong with those choices, but a few of our past leaders liked drinks that were a little more exotic or exciting.

And, Canada lost the vote. Or, in Michael Johnson sprinting style, we pulled out before we had the chance to lose.
As I say in the last post, this isn't so much a lost opportunity to showboat our diplomatic finesse, or compel the Permanent 5 to take our priorities on board. Instead, it's a reflection of the losses we've already chalked up in the past few years.
We don't have international priorities of any coherence to impress on the Council. We don't have a recent record of diplomatic finesse. I can't help but wonder whether cocking-up relations with the UAE so spectacularly on the eve of the vote might have been a straw on the camel's back here. "Canada can't hold good faith negotiations with a Gulf State? Canada's Afghan logistics are what now?" It demonstrated our incapacity to manage a relationship, and it certainly won't have helped us to retain Arab League votes in the General Assembly today.
I'm a fan of the old Pearsonian Legacy. I'd wear Pearson's face on a t-shirt, Che Guevara style, if someone would only print them. But for Canada to waltz into the UN today and trot out the long-standing legacy as evidence of our international merit in the year 2010, sorry, it's just coasting on fumes. We need a new and rejuvenated internationalist legacy, and it's got to begin before we reach for the status symbols.
Anyhoo. Any bets who Harper will pass the buck to? Because it certainly doesn't stop with him.
1) Ignatieff bad-mouthing Canada. I guarantee we'll hear that pop out. Which suggests a) that nations of the world listen more carefully to Michael Ignatieff than they do to the Canadian PM, but mostly b) that Harper cannot accept responsibility for his government. Blame the Liberals, blame the newspapers, blame the alignment of the stars.
2) China and Russia. They didn't bring their friends to the vote they way we thought they would. But they're unpredictable and malevolent powers anyway, which is why we're buying these jets, see?
3) Liberals. Not just Canada's Liberals, you understand, but the whole concept of liberalism. Those European liberals who epitomise it, with their dope-smoking elitist ways, and their opposition to seal clubbing. Europe is elitist and liberal, and it's clearly anti-Canadian. Just like Toronto.
Any other possibilities?

Grattons Drive will be 20 mph
3rd July 2013 – Crawley News
Report by Luke Warren
A NEW 20 mph zone is being introduced around a Pound Hill primary school after concerns were raised over the speed and amount of traffic outside the site.
Speed bumps and double yellow lines will also be brought in as the county council attempts to protect pupils and pedestrians outside Milton Mount Primary School.
Whenever children are dropped off or picked up, Grattons Drive becomes dangerously clogged up.
But, while they welcome the reduced speed limit, some parents are worried the yellow lines will leave even fewer places to park.
Kate Bagshaw. who lives in Ferndown, Pound Hill, and has two children at the school, said: "I have no choice but to drive, because I work. "The parking situation is unbelievable. People dump their cars on corners. They block in home owners. "The double yellow lines will make it even more of a joke. People are parking badly now. It will get 50 times worse."
Double yellow lines are being painted on sections of Grattons Drive, Farmleigh Close, Home Close, Pembroke Road and- Peterhouse Parade, while a single yellow line will be painted on sections of Farmleigh Close.
With the school due to increase in size, Mrs Bagshaw cannot see an end to the parking problems and she also voiced concerns about delivery lorries performing three point turns having visited the shops on Peterhouse Parade.
She said: "There are definitely problems with lorries – I often see them in the morning.
"The drivers can't.see everything (around them) and I've seen them mounting kerbs."
Emma Drew would like to see a lollipop lady employed, as well as a 20mph speed limit.
She said: "Traffic is a big problem outside our school. Something definitely needs to be done about it.
"People park irresponsibly and dangerously and people drive far too fast along Grattons Drive." The school has made efforts to encourage parents to cycle to school with their children.
Head teacher Anne Holmes said: "Our school and parents work closely together for the safety of all members of the local community "We welcome any measures that support the safety of our children on their way, to and from school.
"Our school travel plan encourages pupils and their parents to walk, scooter or bike to school to help alleviate the congestion that can occur around school entrances."
The speed bumps will be in the shape of a road hump spanning the width of Grattons Drive and two speed cushions, which have gaps either side, near Peterhouse Parade.
A date has not yet been set for when the work will start, although it will be in this financial year.
TIGHT SQUEEZE: Traffic at school-run time on Monday afternoon outside Milton Mount Primary school

Torture Sours U.S.-Canadian Right-wing Lovefest
By Sarah Anderson, AlterNet
Stephen Harper, Canada's conservative Prime Minister, campaigned on strengthening ties with the Bush administration. But the love affair has ended over the American "rendition" of a Canadian citizen to Syria
A U.S. Ambassador lashed out against a foreign official last week for standing up to the Bush Administration - and it wasn't against Hugo Chavez or Mahmoud Ahmadinejad or any of the other usual suspects.
It was Canadian Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day - a fundamentalist creationist, anti-abortion, anti-gay rights hawk who once spoke at a "Canadians for Bush" rally. At the onset of the Iraq war, he published a pro-Bush letter in the Wall Street Journal with Stephen Harper, who would become Canada's Prime Minister in 2006. Day and Harper blasted their own government's opposition to the U.S. invasion and lauded the Bush administration's "fundamental vision of civilization and human values."
That conservative lovefest is now over. Last week Day and U.S. Ambassador to Canada David Wilkins exchanged the most hostile tit-for-tat to date over the case of Maher Arar. In 2002, U.S. authorities detained Arar, a Canadian citizen, at JFK airport. After accusing him of having links to al Qaeda, they sent him to Syria, where he was tortured for nearly a year before being released without charge.
After an exhaustive inquiry, an independent Canadian commission cleared Arar of any terrorist ties last fall. On January 26, the Ottawa government announced it would apologize for its role in the debacle and compensate Arar to the tune of about US$8.5 million, plus legal fees.
But while the Canadian government has now admitted that Arar is indeed the innocent computer engineer and father of two he always said he was, the Bush Administration continues to insist that Arar belongs on their "no-fly" list of terrorism suspects. This has meant that Arar, who spent 10 months in a grave-like underground cell, continues to live under a cloud of secret accusations.
Despite his ideological affinity for President Bush, Prime Minister Harper has not been oblivious to the fact the U.S. government is about as popular among Canadians today as it was when the Americans invaded in the War of 1812. In October, he was moved to ring up Bush and ask him to "come clean" about the Arar affair. He even went so far as to ask that Bush acknowledge "the deficiencies and inappropriate conduct that occurred in this case." That, of course, was as likely as the President admitting to shirking his Vietnam War National Guard duties.
The most U.S. Justice Department officials offered to do was brief the Canadians on the dirt they supposedly had gathered about Arar from their own sources. When this finally occurred last week, Stockwell Day, Canada's version of our Homeland Security chief, promptly declared it bogus.
"We've looked at all their information and there is nothing that materially changes our position," Day told reporters. "Mr. Arar is not a threat, nor is his family."

The insteps feature suede panels with the Nike Air Force 1 Ultra Flyknit Low Black logo impressed on the left foot and the Yeezy logo impressed on the right. There are light coloured tabs on the back with contrast stitching and the shoe is completed with a grey sole. I decided to try online and actually managed to get pairs in my basket on both Adidas and Footlocker websites, however the orders didn't go through and I was left disappointed.
Air Max 1 Anniversary Blue For Sale Cheap Nike Shoes Amazingly this is all whilst maintaining a lightweight construction and without compromising comfort as the shoe moulds and wraps seamlessly around your foot.r a very light shade of blue or just black to make them match trousers or jeans.
Looking for Kanye West's Yeezy Boost 350 but can't get your hands on them? The recently released Adidas NMD Hu Trail Core Black sneakers are probably the next best thing to Kanye West's Yeezys. The Adidas NMD is one of the hottest sneakers on the market right now. And, if you're a sneakerhead looking for the next hot pair of shoes to cop, the Adidas NMD might just be for you!
It was designed to surprise: considering the look, the availability and the release date that is coming only 2 weeks after the latest Yeezy Boost drop. One more surprising fact is that the pair will have a back tab that was included on the original Adidas Nmd Xr1 Triple Black Primeknit as one of the features (this back tab was included on the Yeezy Boost 350 v2 Core Black/Red but wasn't included on the first two V2 releases). The rest of the trademark features will stay the same, promising the amazing level of comfort and countless breathtaking outfits as always.
Ready for the new dose of amazing contrast? Seems like the newest Adidas Pureboost Xpose Running Shoe colorway has exactly what we want. Opposite to the latest Core Black/Red one, this colorway is coming with the hard hit of white color all over the shoe, clashing with black stripes and red letters, providing the same jaw-dropping effect.

Mike Neider, the man behind the Dan Armstrong
Former BL'AST! ripper Mike Neider is always a welcome addition to DCXX, and here we get into some post BL'AST! history as well as what he's up to now with his new steamroller, GUSTO. - Gordo DCXX
What was the idea behind spelling "Blast" as "BL'AST!" - where did the name come from, why the apostrophe and exclamation mark, and what did that name signify to you?
I came up with the name around the same time we started to play or maybe even a bit sooner. Just thought it was appropriate and very suiting and it sounds real good. We were very literal almost to the point of not enjoying it as much as we should of. Haha. But believe me we enjoyed it thoroughly. The exclamation point was to make it heavier then it already is and the apostrophe between the L and A was to fill in the space a bit cuz it was kinda empty looking there. Ha. I know.
Post BL'AST you played in a few different projects, some of which maybe never got real far and are still mysteries to interested fans. Can you give a full run down on each project other than BL'AST!, what you did in the band, and some full line-up details and info? Favorite band you ever played with (including BL'AST!)?
Ya, Post BL'AST! was always myself (vocals/guitar), Bill Torgerson (drums) and Dave Dinsmore (bass). We started out as Black Out and there were to many bands using that name so we changed it to LAB, which was Live and Burn/Life After Bl'ast!, haha. Lab was probably the most amazing time because we had a ton of fun and the tunes were out of control in a great way, we literally played 20+ hours a week. We had a ton of songs we dug and it was an amazing time. Brant Bjork joined in briefly and we also had Jerad join briefly but in the end it was always Bill, Dave and I. At the time we started getting some label interest and we were about to sign and playing out allot w/ Fu Manchu and others. I went through some lame times that made me have to stop playing for a while. Then Dave and Bill had their share of reality with there personal lives. So it was halted in a lame way, even though at the time we were ready to roll. DAMN.
Anyway we have a bunch of recordings / demos / whatever that we will release this year I believe on vinyl. Looking forward to it.
Favorite, that's like picking your favorite child. Haha. Doesn't work that way, ha. No, but liked each band for different reasons.
Mike Neider with Gusto, Photo: Ricardo Carles
The early 90s gave rise to a lot of bands in California that cited BL'AST! as a direct influence. Fu Manchu obviously comes to mind. It seems that bands like Fu Manchu, Kyuss, QOTSA, etc. borrow somewhat indirectly from the BL'AST! aesthetic: skate/Cali imagery, Dan Armstrongs, big Ludwigs, etc (especially Fu Manchu). Some of it is subtle but it is there. What do you think of this? Where did BL'AST! get it's own cues for these things? What is your relationship specifically with Scott Hill and the Fu Manchu guys over the years?
Well most of these bands that you mentioned are all friends and have been throughout the years. We all grew up with Sabbath/Flag etc...most of the same influences. Not too sure to be honest but for myself I liked doing stuff that was big and out of step w/the stream, dry and in your face as much as possible. Kinda the anti-text book, with quick attack, ha ha. Bands like Sabbath/Flag did the same thing.
I remember when Bill ordered his drums. He was a senior in high school worked his ass off and came up w/ enough dough to custom order his own set from Guitar Center/Ludwig. He ordered that huge chromo wood set that you have seen w/Bl'ast! It was radical.
Then we added our 12", 15", 18", 10" speakers w/ rack mount amps to do what we wanted to do with Bl'ast!
Mr. Scott Hill rips! The first time we met Scott I believe is at one of the first BL'AST! shows in '84? Maybe sooner or later a bit. We have been friends ever since, and all the Fu dudes rule. We have played with Fu a lot throughout the years. Scott got hooked up with Ampeg for Dan Armstrongs a while back and has hooked me up with guitars, very cool. But I am sure we will be playing more shows together. Fu Manchu is relentless.
Tell us all about GUSTO, and what's going on with the band now and what can we expect?
GUSTO is myself (guitar, vocals) Dave Dinsmore (bass) Alfredo Hernandez (drums) and the band is sounding very potent, it's kinda like our roots meet our present mentalled state, ha. In great ways. We started in 2006, due to tragedies in our families we have not gotten on a roll until now.
We have shows booked and good ones coming in the future and we are recording in 7-09 so it is looking good and we are stoked.
The tunage is very badass, like I said roots twined in some different ways and not. If your familiar w/ us you will know who it is. It is what we would like to hear and there will be a wide array tunes as time flows.

Mike Neider - BL'AST! / GUSTO

The first time I heard BLAST was in Pat Dubar's room. It was a tape of what was to be "power of expression". I think I still have a test pressing.
From that point I saw just about every BLAST show south of Santa Barbara and was lucky enough to play with them too. In my experience, nothing...And I mean nothing compared to them live except the Bad Brains or Rollin's Band (right after Lifetime came out). When I die I want electrodes plugged into my brain, heart, ass and cock and have "surf and destroy" BLASTed into me. Wait...Why wait until I die? I think I'll do it now!

OK...I tried it. Don't put electrodes into your cock...the hole is too small.

I assumed the apostrophe in their name came from PB B'laster, a rust penetrant spray oil.

I was always under the assumption the name BL'AST! came from that Black Flag interview in Ripper fanzine where Dukowski said something like 'We like to Blast people'. He ends off the interview with something like 'Don't punch people, BLAST THEM!'. I might be a total nerd, but I always thought that was where they got the name from.

scott from fu manchu here. BL'AST! is one of thee heaviest things that ive ever witnessed live! saw them for the first time right before their 1st record came out. been hooked ever since. they were / are a HUGE influence on fu manchu. saw them alot as a 5 piece then once at fenders they set up as a 4 piece a i think they were even louder then they were as a 5 piece. seeing greg ginn got me wanting a clear armstrong guitar then seeing BL'AST! with the dual armstrongs forced me to get one.
BL'AST! is a top 10 band for me.
blackout = awesome
LAB = awesome
gusto = awesome
needless to say im a neider fan.
the guys in BL'AST! remain as some of the nicest people that ive ever met!
enough ass kissing. great site you have here and i agree that the antidote 7" is the best NYHC ep....

Thanks to Billy for turning me on to this site: great to see a piece on Neider! I totally agree with Scott and Billy. Blast was the best live band by far. The only others that were at that level were Bad Brains, and I would say Rocket From the Crypt as well. I first saw Blast by accident in Monterey with Black Flag, which must have been 1984. Which means I was 15. (I was up there with Katon and the Hirax guys…) They blew me away right there! The funny thing is I totally remember the scene that Rollins describes in his book: watching Blast sound-check and saying that every song sounded like "Thirsty and Miserable", which is a bit unfair. But I remember seeing him sitting in the corner and thinking "wow, that's Henry!" Anyhow, then I got in touch with Steve and got their demo-tape, which is most of the first album, but at about half speed. After that I must have seen them every time they were in So Cal. They played in Sun Valley before the deal with Wishingwell right when school got out, and they did "School's Out". They also played an insanely awesome show at the Melody Dance Center in Long Beach, and I remember Clifford telling me that Mouse had all these great pics with me and Jim Burke rockin out in front. I never did see them though… I think the only time I missed a Blast show was one time when I was grounded and they were playing the Anticlub, when Clifford had horns sticking up on his head and Kip was playing 2nd guitar, but I got that video from Scott. Scott, Jim and I had a deal that if Blast was playing anywhere within a 100 mile radius, we'd go. Usually Scott was driving. Blast played in Santa Barbara/Oxnard a lot because they liked to go down the coast and surf. One time they had a show opening for Slayer at the Olympic. Scott and I went, since the Blast guys always put us on the list, saw Blast, with almost no one else there and left. Clifford told us that they were driving the famous Blast van down an alley and in his words "almost slayed Slayer." Anyhow, those were some good times! I did see them in LA in 2001, my friend Brian dragged me out to see that (we were in the teaching cred program at UCI then). They still rocked, playing all the classics, including "Fuckin with my Head", which they had stopped playing because it was a little too similar to a certain Flag song on "My War". That was a cool thing to see: a number of old time regulars were there too, like Fred Hammer.

BTW when Fu plays Cleve next time pls skip that shithole Peabody's,we opened for y'all twice there and got shined on the dough by them assholes both times,the ol' "oh dude who pays you left for the night,come back at 1:15 on Wed". eat my dick,Mr Concert Promoter.

Bl'ast! - heaviest band I've ever seen.
LAB - also great. Saw tham in '97 in Santa Barbara with Ignite and 1134.
You need a follow-up interview talking about all the pre-Bl'ast! bands (MAD, and I forget the name of the other one). Those core members of Bl'ast! had been playing music together in one form or another since '79.

Hi! My name is Olivia Carter and I saw your contest on instagram, and I just had to enter. Thank you for actually caring about your customers and wanting to help them love themselves.
What does being a plus sized woman in 2013 mean to me? As a young woman entering my first years of college in 2009, I was not the most confident. I was always the "fat friend" amongst my group of slim or fit circle of friends. Though they never looked at me that way, that's how I saw myself. Many times going shopping with my friends I never tried on or bought many clothes. I would always tell myself "that won't look right on me," "that shirt is made for skinny people," or " I'm too fat to wear this outfit." Now I'm not the biggest, but I'm far from the smallest. I've never been one to dress up, go out, or be girly. I always thought I was too big for that. I absolutely LOVE to shop, I can throw an outfit together in my mind with ease. I have a very unique taste and I love to try new trends and looks all the time. If I had to, I'd describe my style as vintage, retro, wacky, floral, and out of the box. I love floral prints of all kind, I LOVE harem pants, combat boots are my fav, and I've even opened my mind up to dresses!(I'm not the most girly girl Lol). The older I've become, the more positive influences have entered my life. My sister is a plus sized diva who is slowly helping me embrace my inner dive and curves. I have come out of my box and into my own. In 2013, I have the confidence, the inner Diva, and I know I am beautiful, curves and all. My only problem is that in 2013, I am still in college. And as a college student, I am broke(Lol). Even when I have money, I can't think about my next outfit, I have to buy books, food. and so much more. This is why I love boutiques like EyeCandy. They allow Curvy Divas of all budgets to enjoy high-end fashion at affordable prices. I have spent several days going through your website and instagram page, admiring all the new trends and fashions, showing off your clothing to my friends, and getting my friends hooked on your products. I can't wait until I'm able to place my first order. Your clothing and accessories are beautiful and help bring out the fierceness in all of your loyal plus size women.
So what does it mean to be a plus size woman in 2013? It means exuding confidence, loving yourself(curves and all), and being as fierce as you want to be. And the only reason I can say this confidentially is because of all the positive role models and fashionistas pout there to look up to.

On Friday night, the Dodgers clinched the National League West with a 4-2 win over the Giants. Cody Bellinger played a big part in the game when he launched a three-run home run, setting a National League rookie record for home runs at 39. Rich Hill also played a big part, holding the Giants to one run over six solid innings.
This was not an overnight accomplishment. In fact, this season was a long one full of wild moments. Let's take a look a few of these crucial moments.
I realize that I'm posting this a day late, but Saturday was my sister's birthday, so I ran out of time. Due to that, this post will be short. I encourage you to watch the video. Feel free to comment on what you think some big moments were this season.

Contributed Post By: Stephen Bisbee of eOriginal
Since its inception in the late '90s, electronic transaction management (ETM) has gained momentum across a variety of industries including equipment leasing, security alarm contracting, consumer finance, mortgage and auto financing, and continues to expand as technical solutions mature, delivery moves to mobile devices, and the resulting efficiencies become increasingly clear.
The enactment of e-commerce legislature established that electronic signatures and transactions carry the same legal weight as their paper counterparts, and the risks historically associated with online information and document accessibility have been minimized. Progressive companies that have adopted an ETM solution are actually mitigating security risks. Why? Legal enforceability and quality control measures have been established as a result of the increase in regulatory compliance requirements born out of the recent credit crisis. In fact, the legal counsel and ratings agencies that have supported electronic asset-backed securities have accepted advanced ETM solutions as meeting their requirements for securitization, pledging and pooling contracts.
So why are more and more organizations adopting ETM practices? Companies that integrate ETM into their business processes are reaping significant benefits directly tied to the organization's bottom line, including:
- Reduced Revenue Cycles. By streamlining approval processes, the required time to close a piece of business can be drastically reduced from weeks to hours or even minutes. Enabling straight-through processing can reduce deal drop-out rates and actually increase contract volume.
- Reduced Costs. ETM offers drastic cuts in business process costs, such as staff, materials and travel, by eliminating paper processes and the time required to manually receive, review, validate, correct, return, archive, retrieve and manage transaction documentation.
- Improved Customer Satisfaction. Perhaps most importantly, the ease and speed of ETM can create a much more pleasant customer experience with seamless, automated business processes, shortened wait times and ease of use. A truly effective ETM program can ultimately improve customer satisfaction and increase renewal rates.
- Market Share. With the ease, value and reach achieved from implementing ETM, organizations are positioned to gain market share, leveraging existing resources, as well as creating a shield to prevent the loss of market share to competitors seeking to utilize technology advancements for competitive advantage in specific marketplaces.
With electronic transactions becoming simpler, more accessible and legally enforceable, the time to adopt an electronic transaction management solution is now.

Hi Everyone.
Well, the family is together again, which is wonderful. Having a child leave home has really made me aware of how fleeting our time together is. So, I think I'm going to be ramping down on the blogging for the rest of the year and doing more family time.
I also have some writing projects I want to focus on and I want to rest and recharge and, of course, be with my family. So I don't think I'll be doing a lot in the next few weeks. However, that could change, I suppose. That's the joy of having a blog. I can do whatever I want. But I don't anticipate being online a whole lot in the next few weeks.
I think I'm going to make some changes, by the way. I've been answering comments via email, but have read lately that I should not do that. Some experts say that one should answer comments in the comment section. Normally, if someone says, "Experts say that...." I will almost always do exactly the opposite, but because I'm a contrarian. But I've read this enough, I thought I'd try it.
So, if you comment, I'll be responding to you in the comment section. I tell you that because I really value and enjoy the comments I get and want to make sure you know that I'm not ignoring you.
In case I'm not online again, and in case I don't see you, have a Merry, Merry Christmas! Or a Happy, Happy Hanukkah! Or anything else you celebrate. And, I wish you all a Happy, Peaceful, Prosperous, New Year!
12/19/2011 02:39:38 am
I hear you about realizing time is fleeting. I have two daughters home from college for Christmas, and I've realized this is probably one of the last couple of Christmases where I'll have all my children here. Nooooo! I'm not ready for them to grow up! And I counted the years until I'm an empty-nester, and that's REALLY scary. Not long at all . . . where does the time go? When kids are small, you feel like they'll be small forever, and then suddenly they're all grown up. Ack!
12/19/2011 03:03:47 am

I am a Faversham based artist who, in the last few years, has been drawing and photographing many images of Kent and beyond. ( all these can be seen on http://www.nwfineart.co.uk ). I am now working with a couple of other artists in producing drawings for a series called White One Sugar that were inspired by the old railway poster designs. This collection of artworks is spreading beyond Kent and we hope in the future to go further afield into other countries.

Lydia Cook shared this history of the house, via Ramona Hansbrough: The house was built in 1910 by E.E. Hawks, married to my great grandmother, Ina Strickland Hawks. The story goes that he wanted to build a home on high ground in Fitzgerald, Ga. He spared nothing when purchasing materials, even to having the gorgeous wood fireplaces imported from England. E.E. Hawks was from Commerce Ga., and so was Ina Strickland .They married and in 1910 moved into the new home in Fitzgerald. E.E. Hawks passed away in 1939 on a business trip to Atlanta. Ina continued to live in the house and her daughter, Ruby Hawks Mann and her husband lived in the house with her mother. After a few years, in 1957 Mama Hawks passed away, so her daughter Ruby Hawks Mann and her husband E.C. Mann continued to live in the house.
In 1961 the house went from the Mann family to the Cox family. Henry and Lila Cox, my dad's parents bought the house and lived there until 1982 when both passed away. At that time, my parents Elzie H. Cox and Elaine Mann Cox bought the house from the brothers, Edward Cox and Billy Cox. Elzie passed away in 2001, but Elaine still lived there alone until 2008 when she moved back to Florida to be near her daughters, Ramona and Melanie.

How did I get it?:
I borrowed it from Beth!
Previously reviewed by the same author:
The Pevensie siblings are back to help a prince denied his rightful throne as he gathers an army in a desperate attempt to rid his land of a false king. But in the end, it is a battle of honor between two men alone that will decide the fate of an entire world.
I don't recall reading past The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe when I was younger. I don't think I did, so reading Prince Caspian for the kid-lit challenge was intriguing. I don't think it quite has the magic of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe but it's still a decent read. It introduces us to some new people, the Telmarines, as well as going back to the Pevensies who we know well!
The story flips between the Telmarines and the Pevensies. When we are introduced to the new characters we also get to know Caspian and some of the politics surrounding his life and time. Everything changes when the Pevensies are summoned back to Narnia. They have spent around a year in the real world although 1,000 years has passed in Narnian time. The world is very different- Narnia has a changed landscape, politics has changed and the Pevensies have to get used to Narnia not being what they remember.
I never really got the religious messages when I was younger, but I can definitely identify them more reading this series as an adult. I feel like Prince Caspian does still have a subtle religious message. It's about faith and believing there is something that makes life worth living. At the start, the family have no allies and it is not until Lucy starts to see the wonderful Aslan when others can't that the message appears to be help comes to those that believe.
Prince Caspian did keep me turning the pages with its fast paced story-line. I love reading about the Pevensies once more. It felt incredibly familiar.
For Beth's wonderful review, please check out her blog HERE.
Would I recommend it?:

Press Release
BENSENVILLE, Ill. (March 12th, 2014) – The Chicago Steel have announced that forward Mason Bergh has committed to play for Colorado College after the conclusion of his United States Hockey League career.
Bergh, who is in his first season with the Steel, has recorded 21 points (9g, 12a) in 48 games in 2013-14. The 6-foot, 161-pound native of Eden Prairie, Minn. was named the USHL CCM Forward of the Week for Feb. 10-16 following an impressive seven point weekend (4g, 3a).
Bergh said he was offered a scholarship last week by the Colorado College coaching staff and knew during his visit that he would be wearing the black and gold of the Tigers when his collegiate career begins.
"When I arrived on campus, I had the immediate feeling that this was the right place for me," Bergh said. "I love the area, I loved the coaching staff, the mountains are awesome and the campus is great. To get a good education is very important and CC will provide that for me.
"I called my parents when I was out there visiting and told them how much I liked the school. They were very happy that I was going to commit to Colorado College."
Bergh played for Eden Prairie High School last season, scoring 21 goals and tallying 17 assists in 25 games. The Steel drafted him with the 21st overall pick in the 2013 USHL Entry Draft.
"We are very proud of Mason and excited that he will have the opportunity to continue his hockey career at Colorado College," Steel head coach Scott McConnell said. "Mason has had a positive impact on our organization in his short time here in Chicago. We look forward to further being a part of his development as a player and a young man in the next year and seeing him arrive in Colorado Springs with an equally positive impact there."

CONCORD, N.C. -- To close out his NASCAR Cup Series career, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Axalta figured there was no better way to go out than with a paint scheme that paid tribute to the way he came in.
This weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway, the driver will pilot a red No. 88 Axalta Chevrolet SS with black and white stripes, paying homage to the driver's very first paint scheme, which debuted in 1999 when he competed in his first career Cup Series race.
Earnhardt first unveiled the Chevy live on QVC on Aug. 2 from inside Axalta's Customer Experience Center on the Hendrick Motorsports campus.
Months later, the scheme came to life inside that very same building.
Check out the video Axalta put together below, showcasing the paint scheme's application on Earnhardt's No. 88 Chevy as it gets ready for the driver's grand finale.

The FANG stocks are some of the hottest stocks in the market YTD. The Young Research Bubble Basket which includes the FANGs plus Tesla is up 39% in 2017. Here, Bloomberg points out that even though the FANGs are widely recognized as a crowded trade and overpriced segment of the market, short interest is unusually low.
When it comes to calling the FANG stocks a bubble, few are willing to put their money where their mouth is.
A number of people have pointed out that shares of some of the most dominant technology companies, including Facebook Inc., Apple Inc., Amazon.com Inc., Netflix Inc. and Google parent Alphabet Inc., have perhaps risen more than the fundamentals deserve. Early this summer, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. strategists predicted an "air pocket" was coming in the FANG bubble. After a survey of investors, Bank of America strategists called FANG and other technology stocks the most crowded trade in the market. Oaktree Capital co-founder Howard Marks recently compared the FANG to the Nifty Fifty and dot-com stocks of the 1970s and 1990s, respectively, as well as other bubbles.
Nonetheless, despite the growing skepticism, the number of investors actually betting that the FANG stocks will tumble is far below the rest of the market and falling. Collectively, the short bets against FANG stocks accounted for just 2 percent of their traded shares. Exclude Netflix, and the average short interest for the group drops to just 1 percent. That compares with an average of 4 percent for the S&P 500. Under Armour Inc., which is the most heavily shorted stock in the S&P 500, perhaps for good reason, has a short interest of 30 percent. What's more, just a few years ago, bets against FANG stocks were prevalent. In the autumn of 2012, more than 9 percent of the available shares of the FANG stocks were sold short.
