Pink Martini Lifts Spirits with Powerful Vocals
June 25, 2010
Zealous fans of Pink Martini will apparently wait out a tornado warning, lighting, thunder and torrential rain fall just to hear pianist-founder Thomas Lauderdale and singer China Forbes work a song or two.
Zealous fans of Pink Martini will apparently wait out a tornado warning, lighting, thunder and torrential rain fall just to hear pianist-founder Thomas Lauderdale and singer China Forbes work a song or two.
They did so Wednesday night at Millennium Park, even after Grant Park Music Festival executive director Elizabeth Hurley apologetically told the crowd that the show was likely to be canceled. Instead, fans huddled closer together and waited even longer. Their devotion paid off, and an hour later, Forbes was belting out the grooving Latin standard "Amado Mio" to an impressive 2,500 soaking fanatics in the Pritzker Pavilion.
The concert marked the Millennium park debut of the popular Portland, Oregon-based 12 piece ensemble, and this collaboration with Carlos Kalmar and the Grant Park Orchestra made perfect sense, given the conductor's tenure with the Oregon Symphony and prior work with these eclectic musicians.
And which band has better evoked a particular feeling with its name than Pink Martini? Its bright and flavorful cocktail party music goes down ultra smooth and when each song's swinging buzz invariably kicks in, it's impossible not to order another.
Culturally curious, this 15-year-old "salon orchestra" deftly fuses Cuban, Brazilian, Japanese and various European styles while retrofitting them with a '40s Hollywood swagger. With her silky yet strong vocals, Forbes overpowered the sounds of the thunderstorms with a fragrant homage to Edith Piaf in "Sympathique." Classical music also is woven seamlessly into the band's songs, thanks to Lauderdale's training and the band's experience (it plays with some 30 symphonies a year). Tunes naturally glided around the opening bars of Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 ("Splendor in the Grass") and Schubert's F-Minor Fantasy ("And Then You're Home").
If its affable public radio sensibility wasn't evident enough, the group brought enough, the group brought out special guest singer Ari Shapiro-a White House correspondent for NPR-to sing "But Now I'm Back." Set to a Benny Goodman-style swing a la "Sing, Sing, Sing," the song follows a lover as he pleads to win back his estranged squeeze. Improvising a verse, Shapiro even threw Chicagoans a bone in the process: "Honey, I'll buy you a hot dog with pickles, and I promise it wont have ketchup." OK, even though the setting was a rainy night in Illinois, this extending of a hand to new cultures embodies Pink Martini's one-world mission.
After the Grant Park Orchestra departed, Pink Martini kicked off an impassioned short set beginning with its humorous tale of rejection "Hey Eugene." If Pink Martini ever gets to Millennium Park on a sunny evening, it could very well be the Grant Park party of the summer.

THe Cod in portugal tasted SOOOOO flavorful....isn't that amazing...and I know that Mari said she'd gain 10 pounds, but really, after you get used to the culture, it is naturally incorporated. You don't OVER do it, because it TASTES so flavorful, it satiates with less. QUALITY over QUANTITY
I made a curry sauce with yogurt and your powder the other night, with some garlic, sea salt, and lemongrass....DIVINE!

Actually, our local food festival is TONIGHT! haha, so weird, and ironic. It's completely different from this, however, as I would much rather go to this food festival. It's so culturally diverse, I love it. Everything sounds amazing.
Regarding your comment on my blog, it drives me nuts when people tell me they don't allow themselves ANYTHING to eat after dinner. I mean, sometimes people even tell me they go to sleep even if their stomach is growling and they are uncomfortable!! You know what I did the other night? I woke up because I was STARVING. My stomach was growling and I was not able to fall asleep again (it was 3am). I got out of bed and ate some granola. HA!

You're right, I've never heard of this festival! I do wish CT had something similar because it sounds deliciously amazing to have all this local food to choose from. Cheese, bread, olives, and wine?

Sepp Blatter should not stand as president of Fifa at Wednesday's meeting in Zurich, let alone be re-elected. But he will stand and be re-elected. Only those blind to the greed and hysteria of world football could regard awarding the 2022 World Cup to Qatar as definitely clean. Blatter knew this, because he was told it over and again. But Fifa is not, as it classes itself, a "world governing body". It is a squalid cartel. The 208 members of Fifa have no interest in rocking Blatter's $1.3bn (untaxed) boat while his rulebook demands a 75% vote to oust him. He can dispense millions to his "electors" and enjoy the security of an autocrat. From his $100m Swiss palace, he calls Fifa "the family within". His nephew, Philippe, controls Fifa's sponsorship and media revenue monopoly.
The UK and its four football associations should have nothing to do with this man, but they are as introverted as he is. When England's FA tried to repair its image by choosing an outsider, Lord Triesman, as its chairman in 2008, he was so shocked that he inadvertently blew the whistle with his allegations. He was vilified by "the family" and forced to resign. The whole business stinks. Even the money stays silent. The four big Fifa sponsors behaved this week like maiden aunts told of a long-secret family scandal: that it was "most distressing".
Last December, David Cameron and Prince William humiliated themselves by going to Zurich to dance attendance on Blatter during the vote on the 2018 venue. Now the FA has returned to the mire by turning up at today's coronation of Blatter's presidency, belatedly trying to give itself some credit last night by calling for the election to be cancelled. International football is run by a self-perpetuating elite, craving the tickets, the lifestyle and, in some alleged cases, the bribes, which have become part and parcel of international sport.
Fifa's senior official under Blatter, Jérôme Valcke, was sacked after being charged by a US court with "repeated dishonesty", and then rehired by Blatter. When he revealed that Qatar's cup bid had in his view been "bought", he protested afterwards that this was not meant as the past tense of "to buy" but rather of "to be efficient". Meanwhile the photographed envelopes containing $40,000 in hundred dollar bills, for each of Fifa's Caribbean voters, were now apparently intended for distribution to the poor. This is ludicrous.
Blatter, who feasts on the adulation of world leaders, has the cheek to warn them to stay out of his business and that of "the family". Only the Swiss authorities might be smirking, with another advertisement for their lax regulation and scope for tax avoidance and corruption that has made them an entrepot for the world's funny money. Blatter may struggle in a reputable corporate climate. As the limousines draw up at Wednesday's meeting, bystanders might wonder if next to arrive is Don Corleone.
Football is no more than a sport and can look to its own. What deserve scrutiny are the murky "international" regulators that huddle mostly in smaller European states and claim sovereignty over everything from sport and culture to science, aid, armaments and world trade. Some bodies hover uncertainly under the United Nations umbrella, performing half-necessary functions such as maritime law or heritage rescue. Others have become puppets of global corporations, such as the World Health Organisation and its 2009 swine flu "pandemic".
Fifa and the International Olympic Committee are stateless cartels, freeloading on the Swiss image of lofty cosmopolitanism. Those who rule these bodies are accountable only to the federations that they themselves run. Juan Antonio Samaranch ran the IOC for 21 years, culminating in a haze of accusations of corruption. Blatter will clock up 16 years following his re-election today. To these men, national governments are dummies run by gullible politicians in thrall to electors so stupid they pay taxes.
In his current BBC TV series, All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace, Adam Curtis ridicules the restless search for world order of various political and intellectual movements over the past half century. Psychological profiling, internet democracy, climatic computer models and Armageddon predictions are all presented as cynical smokescreens for political and financial power.
Common to Curtis's megalomaniacs is that they strive to be above the realm of national democracies. They dust themselves in the global sovereignty that has appealed to visionaries since the Crusades, the League of Nations and the search for a single computerised human intelligence. They claim to have supplanted politics and governments.
Likewise bodies such as Fifa, whose fatuous mission is "to reach out and touch the world". The idea that Fifa should be a "world governing body" of any sort is as outrageous as Bernie Ecclestone being a regulator of motor racing or Don King of boxing. Fifa is an upmarket Sopranos. The key to its wealth, like that of the IOC, lay in appropriating the commercial rights to events it sponsors, pocketing the money and denying it to host nations. As a result, host nations spend vast sums of money stoking up chauvinist hysteria round "winning the games" by way of compensation.
The syndrome was awesomely displayed when Tony Blair and Tessa Jowell went berserk over "winning the Olympics" for London in 2005, never mentioning that the price for two weeks of minor sport would be £9bn. Despite its avowed internationalism, the IOC requires of its hosts the crude nationalism of lavish opening and closing ceremonies.
Blatter relies on governments lacking the guts to tell their domestic associations to boycott him. No one dares suggest that he be moved to a country where he might be subject to competition law or police investigation. The world of football enjoys a total omerta. Indeed, as revelations of corruption at Fifa began to emerge last year – though rumoured for years – the FA and British government response was to dismiss them and condemn the journalists who reported them.
Nothing will happen. World bodies will remain untrammelled by democratic oversight or legal regulation. There is no evidence that this scandal would have broken surface had Fifa's antics been left to the football authorities or their governments to police. The revelations came from investigations by the UK press, and largely by one journalist, Andrew Jennings, who has hounded Blatter since 2006. It is reasonable to conclude that the only curb on the pomposity and unaccountability of these bodies is not democracy, accountability or the law, but the labours of my own humble profession.

This biography of a living person needs additional citations for verification. (December 2018) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Daran Little (born 11 May 1966) is a BAFTA Award-winning and EMMY nominated British television writer. He is the only writer to pen more than a hundred episodes of both Coronation Street (from 2000 until 2010) and - EastEnders (from 2010 onwards). He currently lives in LA where he is developing his own dramas and reality shows.
While at Manchester Polytechnic, he wrote his dissertation about Coronation Street and Tony Warren who became his mentor and insisted the Producers gave him a job. After graduating, he was taken on by Granada Television as an archivist. He has written eleven books, both fiction and non-fiction, about the show and its characters and co-wrote Betty Driver's autobiography.
Little left Granada in 2006 after writing 95 episodes of the Street and introducing the first gay character, Todd Grimshaw. He created the characters Sean Tully, Archie Shuttleworth, Bev Unwin and Eric Gartside who was played by Peter Kay. He created, wrote and produced a 20-part series called Hollyoaks: In the City for Mersey Television. The series was not recommissioned for a second series. He joined the Hollyoaks writing team, writing 12 episodes before moving to New York to work on "All My Children".
American venturesEdit
ABC Daytime hired him to be a creative consultant on All My Children. He worked closely with Brian Frons, Barbara Esensten, James Harmon Brown, Charles Pratt, Jr. and Julie Hanan Carruthers. He was an Associate Head Writer from 14 July 2008 to 2 November 2009.
In 2018, Little was hired as story consultant on the CBS Daytime soap opera The Young and the Restless, reuniting with Mal Young. Little's first episode aired on 3 December 2018.
Back in BritainEdit
In 2009 he returned to Coronation Street, writing a further 9 episodes. On 2 March 2010 it was confirmed that Little had left Coronation Street and joined its rival EastEnders.[1] In September 2010 his drama The Road to Coronation Street was broadcast on BBC4, telling the story of Coronation Street's conception 50 years earlier, centering on Tony Warren. The drama won Best Single Drama in the 2011 BAFTAs and Royal Television Society and Little won the Best Scriptwriter at the RTS North West awards. In 2013 Little wrote a comedy pilot "Kitten Chic" about a psychotic fag hag that aired on Sky Living and rejoined the writing team of "Hollyoaks". He rejoined EastEnders in 2013 as part of Dominic Treadwell-Collins' team, receiving acclaim for an episode where Johnny Carter came out to his father Mick, played by Danny Dyer.
Little worked as story producer on the first series of ITV2 structured reality show The Only Way Is Essex before helping to cast, set up and story produce all series of E4's BAFTA winning show "Made in Chelsea". To date he has worked as Story Executive on all 19 series and Summer specials. He is also an Executive Producer on ITV2's "The Real Housewives of Cheshire".
Personal lifeEdit
Little is gay but married a woman when he was younger, saying "I'm gay and I got married in a church... to a woman... because I feared being gay in a world that didn't accept me. That was 25 years ago."[2]

Once you've identified your list of candidates set up a short meeting, perhaps coffee, with the individual at the top of your list. Typically these folks are very busy so be respectful of their calendar and be patient to get that initial meeting. If this person's name came from a recommendation perhaps the person that gave you the recommendation can set up an introduction. And please do keep that initial meeting short to demonstrate that you keep your commitments when it comes to people's time.
When meeting time arrives start off by explaining the purpose of the meeting (i.e. to see if there is a mutual interest in starting a mentoring relationship).
- Explain why you think this would be a good match. If possible enumerate the qualities you've seen or heard about the candidate mentor/coach that you admire.
- It's important to establish rapport early in the conversation or quickly recognize that it's difficult to do so and may not make a great fit. Don't be shy! Be eager! Most everyone would be flat out flattered that they are being approached with this kind of request even if in the end there isn't a fit.
- Talk a little bit about yourself - what you do, where you see yourself going. Also talk about what you expect to get out of a mentor and what kind of time commitment you expect.
- Do be sure to be flexible as you are the one essentially asking a favor even if in the end the relationship ends up being very beneficial to both of you. Both of you should have enough of a conversation to decide if you'd like to proceed.
- Hopefully the answer is "yes" to proceeding from both of you but be very prepared to hear "No" from the candidate mentor. Don't take it personally! I've had some candidate mentors say no to me because they were already mentoring 3 other people and simply could not take on an additional person. You may hear "no" because the person honestly feels that they can't offer you much help or time. Not everyone is prepared to be a mentor and that doesn't make them a bad person of course. You may decide "no" on your part because the qualities you thought the candidate mentor possessed were not quite there. If this isn't your mentor that's fine just move to the next person on the list or grow your list through conversations with peers and friends.

This Thai red curry paste is the first proper post in our new food series A Year of Asian Cookbooks. You can find my introduction to the project here. Is there a better way to start our year-long stint exploring Asian cookbooks than with making a Thai red curry paste with a mortar and pestle?
A Thai curry paste made in a mortar and pestle is a pure expression of what we're trying to achieve with this project this year. No shortcuts. No food processors. No preservatives. Hopefully, just an authentic recipe, in this case for a Thai red curry paste, that is the basis for a delicious dish.
Curries will be a key theme this year, as we'll be exploring the connections between the different types of curries and curry pastes used throughout Southeast Asia. We'd love you to join our curry journey.
Making Thai Red Curry Paste and How To Use a Mortar and Pestle
So why should you make a Thai red curry paste, or any curry paste really, from scratch when there are sections of supermarket shelves full of pastes? Well, why make ragu bolognese when it comes in a can? If you actually think that's okay, I'll trust you as much as I'll trust someone who says they cook Asian food yet they don't own a mortar and pestle.
Making Thai Red Curry Paste
The only reason to buy a pre-made paste is if you just cannot get all the ingredients and just have to have a Thai curry or you really don't have the time. Don't feel bad, they can taste okay, and we certainly know the feeling.
If you have the ingredients, then why not just stick them in a food processor? Because food processors rip things apart, whereas a mortar and pestle pounds a paste until it comes together. The texture is different and the taste is different.
The Thais are generally polite people. Most of them like to make people happy, which is why in most tourist restaurants they'll make you an anodyne Thai curry light on the chili and heavy on the coconut cream because they think that's what you want. They'll also tell you in cookbooks and cooking classes that you can use a food processor to make a curry. They're just being polite.
Chef Ian Kittichai is Thai and is very polite, as well as very modest, despite running a very successful restaurant empire and producing cooking shows. His flagship Thai restaurant Issaya Siamese Club, located in a wonderful old Bangkok residence, serves up classic Thai dishes based on those his mother used to make, as well as some more innovative fare that keeps the chef's creative juices flowing.
Chef Kittichai's classic curries are the real deal, with flavours running rich and deep, and the Matsaman, which is also called Massaman curry, at his restaurant is phenomenal.
Did I mention that Chef Kittichai is polite? I'm guessing that's why he's giving readers the option of using a food processor for his Nam Phrik Kaeng Daeng (Thai Red Curry Paste) recipe in his Issaya Siamese Club cookbook. He does dedicate a full page of this huge glossy cookbook to a visual guide to making the red curry paste in a mortar and pestle, so you can take that as a subtle hint as to what he prefers.
In the cookbook, Chef Kittichai has recipes for several classic basic curry pastes, including Matsaman, red and green, but as his Thai red curry paste gets used for several different dishes in the book, I chose this one to start with.
But before we get to Ian's recipe, I want to consider what other recipes are out there. The results of a quick Google search for 'thai red curry paste recipes' revealed a list of crimes against Thai cuisine that ran a few dozen pages long.
Some of the lowlights include using tomato paste (!), substituting ginger for galangal (they may look similar, but they do not taste similar), anchovies from a can (no, that's not shrimp paste), paprika, and "chilli powder from the spice aisle" (really?), and substituting any other kind of lime for kaffir limes (kaffir limes and their leaves have a unique aroma).
I also noted that there are many recipes that are reasonably authentic, but add some fresh prik kii nu (bird's-eye chillies) as well as the dried chillies. It's actually green curry paste that has fresh green bird's-eye chillies instead of the dried red finger chillies.
Don't do it. Particularly if you're new to the heat level of those little chillies that Chef David Thompson of Nahm Bangkok affectionally calls "scuds", after the scud missile. It's way better to use this Thai red curry paste recipe as is and then add additional chillies during the cooking process if you like.
Chef Kittichai's version of the Thai red curry paste is a classic one, very close to David Thompson's, although Chef Thompson adds a little nutmeg. Having watched David make some curry dishes, I know he also has a few tricks up his sleeve that really jack up the flavour (and the heat level!) before serving.
How To Use a Mortar and Pestle
A couple of quick notes on how to use a mortar and pestle to make your Thai red curry paste. The mortar and pestle should be stone — preferably granite. A medium sized one with an inner diameter of around 14cm will be big enough to make a batch of around 250 grams of Thai red curry paste, which is what this recipe is meant to make.
The rule is to always add the dried spices to the mortar first and then the 'wet' ingredients. Save the shallots until last as they will be very watery and make it hard to form a good paste. While this Thai red curry paste recipe does add dry then wet ingredients, it's not explicitly explained why.
The correct action in using the pestle is not pounding straight down, but angling the pestle and contacting the side of the mortar, dragging the ingredients down into the centre, where you give a little twist and lift to start again.
To keep the mortar stable, I put a damp tea towel down, then a wooden cutting board on top, another damp tea towel and then the mortar.
This Thai red curry paste will take a while to come together. You're meant to grind until you can't recognise individual ingredients, such as the kaffir lime leaves, but I usually fall a little shy of that (as you can see in the photo).
Many home cooks say they use a shop-bought curry paste because they're time-poor, yet it really only takes me about 15-20 minutes to make this Thai red curry paste in the mortar and pestle. And I have to say the process is actually therapeutic. I like the sound and the rhythm and the aromas that emanate from the mortar.
The resulting paste blows away any store-bought pastes and once you've made this Thai red curry paste, the process to make a finished red curry is quite simple — as you'll see in the next post of the series.
Thai Red Curry Paste Recipe
- 6 g coriander seeds
- 6 g cumin seeds
- 12 g coarse sea salt
- 2 g white peppercorns
- 15 g dried red finger chilli peppers soak in water for one hour and then squeeze the water out
- 80 g lemongrass finely sliced
- 20 g shallots finely chopped
- 15 g garlic cloves
- 10 g galangal finely sliced
- 2 g lime zest grated**
- 1 g Kaffir lime leaves veins removed and finely chopped
- 20 g Thai shrimp paste
- 1 section banana leaf substitution: aluminium foil
- In a dry pan, combine coriander seeds, cumin seeds, coarse sea salt and white peppercorns and cook over moderate heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Place the spices in a mortar and finely grind or use a food processor and blend until smooth. Add dried finger chilli peppers, lemongrass, shallots, garlic cloves, galangal, lime zest and kaffir lime leaves and finely grind.
- Wrap shrimp paste in a section of banana leaf and roast the parcel in a frying pan for one minute on each side. Remove shrimp paste from the parcel and set aside. Aluminium foil can be used instead of a section of banana leaf.
- Add shrimp paste (to the curry paste) and finely grind until smooth.
- Curry (paste) can be stood in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Do let us know if you make this Thai red curry paste. We'd love to hear how it turned out for you.

Re: Sivarasa's medical condition
I note that there are inaccurate reports about my health in several media reports yesterday consequent to the postponement of the Kugan family civil suit against the police and government where I appear as counsel for the Kugan family. The media reports were apparently based on what was said in court by my junior counsel and the inaccuracies are not occasioned by the reporters.
There is clearly some unintended confusion in the facts stated in court.
It was stated that I had fainted in my home on Wednesday and was admitted to Subang Medical Centre. This is not the case.
I was experiencing severe laryngitis with loss of the voice on Wednesday evening. As a result I sought outpatient treatment with my physician at Sunway Medical Centre yesterday morning and was also advised to rest the voice.
I should be fit to continue the case on Monday 17th December 2012 barring which other counsel will proceed with the matter.
I reiterate that the inaccuracies are not the fault of the media reporters. I take full responsibility as the leader of the legal team.

Leaders may gain a valuable insight from athletic coaches.
Most people have some background at some level in sport. Because they often have this past, they can be very vocal as they see your teams play. And their opinions often reference just how dumb a coach you are!
If you coach, it is a given that you will have your critics.
When you are having a losing season, the profession is no walk-in-the-park. The crowds at games, the radio, the newspaper, and the television are constant reminders that times are tough and that you are the leader.
Given the above, even though you may not recognize it during the difficult times, you do realize at the end of your career why you coached. It is all about relationships. It is about the players who become your friends – cherished friends. You develop an incredibly strong bond with your players and you come to believe just how privileged you were to have coached them.
The literature seems to reflect that today's leaders neither direct nor manage their people; instead, they coach them.
If leaders realized that they are coaches and took the above lesson from athletic coaches, it could really impact their leadership decision-making in such a positive way.
You coach for the long-haul – for the relationships and the friendships that you build for a lifetime.

Welcome back to the Let's Grow Leaders Frontline Festival. This month's festival gives tips about setting up a productive work space. Thanks to Joy and Tom Guthrie of Vizwerx Group for the great pic and to all our contributors!
Next month's Frontline Festival is all about communication tips. There are two ways to participate…either submit a blog post on the topic, or your 1-2 sentence answer to the question. Click here to participate! Now on to our topic for August:
Chip Bell of the Chip Bell Group says that everything he needs is within arms length of the desk (printer, work table, copier, scanner, large computer monitor, supplies (like scissors, stabler, rubber stamps, paper clips), speakers for music, etc. His office looks out over a gorgeous lake and his floor to ceiling book cases sit six feet from the desk. Follow Chip.
Beth Beutler of H.O.P.E. Unlimited has the following elements in her home office, the main "headquarters" for her VA and business soft skill business: stand up desk with monitor exactly mirroring the one at the sit down desk, screen behind her chair at sit down desk for a backdrop for video calls and recordings, chair for relaxed reading, and a number of items with the word HOPE on them as decor. She also has a small fountain, candle, succulents and other items throughout to create a pleasant atmosphere in the office. Follow Beth.
Michelle Cubas, CPCC, ACC, of Positive Potentials, LLC shares that productivity is the result of an open mind and energy working together. Where we work has enormous influence over our attitude toward what we're doing. Consider how you can change your energy by being inspired in your surroundings by taking a look at this post. Follow Michelle.
Eric Dingler of EricDingler.com keeps his physical and virtual space free of all clutter. He has an inbox that everything goes in. Once a day, he clears it following the GTD system. He also uses the free version of Nozbe to keep himself on track and clutter free. When he leaves his office, he has zero emails in his inbox and nothing in his physical inbox, so he leaves work free and walks in prepared and ahead. Follow Eric.
David Dye of Trailblaze finds natural light to be a key to productivity. He will turn off florescents and use desk lamps if sunlight isn't available. Being surrounded by an aquarium, plants and living things also humanizes and relaxes him, helping him maintain perspective. Follow David.
Chris Edmonds of Driving Results through Culture finds that having a clear surface area (no matter where he's working—his office desk or at a desk on the road somewhere) is most helpful in keeping him focused on the task at hand. Papers on his desk for needed tasks "talk to him." Those stacks yell "Do me first!" Remove those piles and he can work his plan without distractions. Follow Chris.
Technology can be our best friend, and technology can also be the biggest party pooper of our lives. It interrupts our own story, interrupts our ability to have a thought or a daydream, to imagine something wonderful, because we're too busy bridging the walk from the cafeteria back to the office on the cell phone.~ Steven Spielberg
Mike Henry of MikeHenrySr.com says that his work space must be distraction free. When he is doing work he enjoys, distractions are less of a problem. But when he is doing something that isn't very interesting, he needs to focus and can be easily distracted. Follow Mike.
John Hunter of Curious Cat Management Improvement really enjoys living as a digital nomad and having workspaces like the one here. He admits that the setup isn't one that optimizes productivity though it can be energizing, inspiring and motivating, and that the "digital nomad" lifestyle isn't for everyone. His setup is just a Macbook Pro (he also had an iPad mini to tether if he needed to use a cell phone signal to access the Internet) all of which allows him to work from just about anywhere. Follow John.
Paula Kiger of Perspicacity finds that despite having a lot of technology in her work space, it's her paper notebook with information like passwords written in it that often saves the day! Follow Paula.
Lisa Kohn from Thoughtful Leaders Blog has found that one of the most important factors to consider when setting up her work space is what inspires her and makes her smile. She is most productive when surrounded by beauty and most creative when in a spot that pulls her out of her usual space and therefore out of her usual mindset. For example, when she writes, she never sits at her desk. A coffee shop or her couch at home works better. When not on the phone, she works outdoors as much as possible, such as on a side porch at home. Follow Lisa.
Melissa Lamson of Lamson Consulting suggests making your workspace your own. Decorate it. Create a safe, comfortable, calm space. Follow Melissa
I'm quite an untidy person in a lot of ways. But order makes me happy. I have to have a clear desk and a tidy desktop, with as few visual distractions as possible. I don't mind sound distractions, but visual ones freak me out.
~ Joanne Harris
According to Don Maruska of DonMaruska.com, it's important to create opportunities for a worker to have only their most important task in front of them while working on it. Multi-tasking is inefficient and stressful. Follow Don.
Eileen McDargh of The Energizer shares her philosophy: A place for everything and everything in its place. With light bright surroundingss, flowers, pictures of friends, and equipment hidden from view, I feel productive and free. Follow Eileen
Andy Oziemblo of Cubicle Concepts suggests that some of the biggest gains in productivity and individual motivation can be achieved through the use of modern office designs. The use of ergonomically optimum seating, height adjustable tables, and movement inducing treadmill workstations can help one attain many health benefits along with increased oxygen in your blood. Increased oxygen in your blood allows for better focus and mental production output. To spur motivation, choose work space artwork and colors that give inspiration as well as drive you towards set goals. Follow Andy.
Shelley Row of Shelley Row Associates shares tips for minimizing workspace and personal distractions in her post, Stop Draining Your Attention. Follow Shelley
Dr. Artika Tyner of the Planting People. Growing Justice Institute advises to create a vision board which visually reflects your goals and desired business outcomes. Post your vision board in your office as a daily reminder of your goals and progress in reaching your dreams. Follow Artika.
On my desk I have three screens, synchronized to form a single desktop. I can drag items from one screen to the next. Once you have that large display area, you'll never go back, because it has a direct impact on productivity.~ Bill Gates

Shed of the Year 2015: the finalists
Posted: January 13, 2017
Categories: Shed of the Year
It may have begun many months ago but now, with less than a week until the public vote closes, the 2015 Shed of the Year competition is drawing to an end. Along the way, we've been treated to a host of weird and wonderful creations that demonstrate that the UK's relationship with the humble garden shed is nothing if not unique.
More than 2,500 hopefuls entered this year's competition, all dreaming of winning 2015's Shed of the Year title. The shed maker that ultimately comes out on top will also receive £1,000 from sponsors Cuprinol, £100 of Cuprinol products and most importantly, a giant crown for their shed.
The initial vote has now concluded, leaving just four finalists in each of the eight categories. However the public can still have their say on the competition, as the voting for category winners is open until midday 29 May.
Followers of the competition can vote to determine their favourites in the Eco, Normal, Pub, Workshop & Studio, Unique, Cabin & Summerhouse, Historical and Budget categories. The best sheds in each category will be revealed on Channel 4's Amazing Spaces, before a panel of experts including competition founder Uncle Wilco and last year's winner Joel Bird, decide which entry deserves the prestigious title of Shed of the Year. Before casting your vote it's good to be aware of everything that the various finalists have to offer.
The categories
Pub sheds
In the Pub Shed category, competition is fierce between Simon's Night Club, The Bikers, Pirate Retreat and Inshriach Distillery. Each shed has its own unique vibe influencing the pub environment. Simon Steel's Night Club entry has floor to ceiling glass windows to allow for relaxing views across his pond and surrounding garden, while The Bikers has more of a rough and ready feel with its own bike repair workshop. Meanwhile, Pirate Retreat has all kinds of swashbuckling memorabilia (as well as an electric drawbridge) and Walter Micklethwait's Inshriach Distillery boasts a farm shop and saloon bar.
Eco sheds
This year's Eco Shed category demonstrates just how valuable recycled goods can be. The Owl House is constructed from recycled plywood and glass bottles and has its own grass living roof, while the seven metre high Eco Dome shows that you can go green, but still go big. Rammed Earth, which unsurprisingly is made from earth, and Cormacs Bothy, which mainly uses forest timber, highlight the variety of sheds you can build from recycled materials.
Workshops and studios
The Workshop and Studio Shed finalists are made up of Darkroom No 1, My Lady's Retreat, Cabin of the Green Man and Eccentrica – all of which exhibit their own playful designs, despite being places of work. Providing the perfect mix of leisure and work, it is safe to say the work-life balance of these owners is probably pretty good.
Cabin and summerhouse
If it's picturesque retreats you're after, the Cabin & Summerhouse category has everything you need. Teasel's Wood Cabin evokes the spirit of homely Americana with the interior and furniture all having originated in the US, while the Pixie Cabin looks as though it could fall down at any minute, having been built without a tape measure or spirit level, giving it its rustic charm. The Garden Cottage, designed to look like a medieval hall house, and Shedible, converted from an old burger van, round out the category.
Garden offices
Again combining the perfect work-lie balance, the garden offices that have been shortlisted will leave you envious. The Multi Purpose Hide Out, Pear Tree Weddings HQ, Magniloquent Cave, and Crafty Monkey at the Beach offices provide a wide range of furnishings and scenery to make sure that they are perfect for providing a motivating and relaxing atmosphere to work in.
Unique sheds
All of the entries to Shed of the Year 2015 offer something distinctive, but the Unique Shed finalists go above and beyond to stand out from the crowd. There's Goring Folly with its tower and well, Micro Shed, which moves on top of a miniature railway wagon, Terry's Treehouse, suspended 4.5 metres off the ground and Derek Verlander's Japanese Tea House with its very own tropical fish tank.
Normal sheds
If you're looking for something a little less unusual, although only a little, the Normal finalists still have plenty of exciting features. Dream City Railway has more than 2,000 square feet of model railway, while the Shedservatory is more stars than railway cars, equipped with its own telescope. The Art Zarb Cabin Cinema houses a 1960s style picturehouse, while Maid of Dekkin can be found floating on a river. Clearly, these entries demonstrate that normal doesn't mean boring.
Historical sheds
Starliner Diner, Garden House, Corrugated Cottage and Bernard Shaw's Writing Hut make up the Historical Shed finalists, with plenty of variety on show and designs ranging from the 7th century to the 1950s.
Budget sheds
The Budget Shed category, meanwhile, is the perfect example of a little going a long way. Whether they're made from beach debris or old firewood, it'll surely prove difficult for the public to choose between Cliffhanger, The Shed!, Ty Mynydd Fach and Hillbilly Shed.
Remember to cast your vote and help decide the winner of 2015's Shed of the Year before the vote closes at midday 29 May.

Back in February, Evgeni Malkin tore both his MCL and ACL in an awkward check in which his knee appeared to directly smash into the boards. His initial recovery time was predicted by Rob Rossi of the Pittsburgh Tribune Review as at least six months which put him on track to get back on the ice around August 5th.
Well, those of you who roster him in keeper leagues can breathe a bit easier as it seems like he is already training and plans on making his way back to superstar status next season.
"I'm kidding. But here in Eugene is a very serious attitude," father Vladimir Malkin told Sovetsky Sports (source: Puck Daddy). "I'm not even sure he would go in the summer somewhere to rest. Wants to come in the form of combat to the top of the NHL championship."
Sounds like he is already training hard and will not rest until he is in top game shape. Considering the style of game he plays, he will need every bit of that strength to burst past the opposition or power his way to the net.
The news of Malkin training comes as a silver lining to a Pittsburgh Penguins team that fears for the safety of their captain, Sidney Crosby. Due to the accolade-worthy coaching of Head Coach Dan Blysma and an MVP caliber season from Marc-Andre Fleury, the Penguins managed to make the playoffs, but they did so without their two stars in Crosby and Malkin.
Last season, Malkin managed to score only 15 goals and 37 points in 43 games, the lowest scoring and games played totals of his NHL career. He seems determined to return to the NHL as a stronger player with a chip on his shoulder — a boon for his patiently waiting owners. In single-season leagues, keep an eye on him as an off-year could take him out of the first round, which would make him an incredible value if he remains healthy all season.

Erath County Jail inmate Jimmy Powell will go it alone.
Four days after Powell gave a jailhouse interview proclaiming his innocence against charges that he burglarized a home and assaulted a jailer and stated that he wanted to fire his attorney, the 21-year-old inmate got his wish.
On Monday, Judge Donald Jones agreed to dismiss Powell�s court-appointed attorney, Nick Pugh, paving the way for the defendant to represent himself. The ruling followed a hearing where the judge advised Powell against acting as his own attorney.
�I had a young man do just what you�re doing here and he went to the penitentiary for a very long time,� Jones said. �I�m telling you that it�s a mistake� but you have a constitutional right to do so.�
The judge repeatedly warned Powell of the disadvantages of representing himself in court without a trained attorney.
But Powell, who said he earned 13 hours of college credit at Weatherford Community College, said he was fully prepared to take on the challenge.
�Are you telling me you do not want an attorney to represent you in either of these cases?� Jones asked.
�Yes, your honor, I�ll represent myself,� Powell said.
Jones then asked Powell a series of legal questions. Asked if he knew about �rules of evidence,� Powell answered, �Would that be due process?�
Jones explained that rules of evidence and due process have nothing to do with each other and asked if he had any knowledge of the �code of criminal procedure.�
�I�m not sure,� Powell replied.
An interesting exchange took place when Jones asked Powell if he was familiar with the Texas Penal Code.
�Yes, I am,� Powell said.
�What do you know?� Jones asked.
�Nothing at all,� Powell answered.
At one point the judge asked Powell if he was smirking.
The defendant said he was not, but asked if it was �against the law to smile in the courtroom?�
Later, Powell said he wanted to take his case to a �higher court� because he felt like the judge had something against him.
�I want to go ahead and take this to a higher court because I already feel like you are prejudiced against me,� Powell told the judge.
Jones said he had nothing against the defendant, but was simply trying to make him aware of the risks of going to trial without an attorney.
The judge said he would appoint a standby attorney in the event that Powell changes his mind and decides he wants legal representation.
If convicted, Powell faces 2-20 years in prison for the burglary charge and 2-10 years in prison for harassment of a public servant.

Abstract: During the last few decades, banking market has changed significantly. Systematically increasing the complexity of new technology, development of information and communication's techniques, economy's networking, globalization and growth of customers' expectations combined with regulatory requirements make banks face new challenges. The most crucial of them is answering the question how to meet regulatory requirements (remain stable) and develop market performance (obtain a competitive advantage and gain profits). As a result, the concept of resilience must accommodate and balance the public interest focused on safety with individual bank's aims focused on value's creation, market position and profits. Defining the foundation for banking market resilience needs discussing these contradictory aspects. It is especially important as banks play a special role in society. They are crucial in financing the economy, settling payments and providing products that allow other entities to manage their financial risk and to develop their market activity. The resilience of the banking market influences not only financial system stability but the sustainable economic growth and the economy as a whole. That is why regulatory schemes should support it. On the other hand, creating value for customers and other stakeholders makes bank to keep customer experience and wider brand perceptions central to all strategic thinking. Meeting customers' needs and expectations requires flexibility, creativity, and innovativeness what today quite often means taking a risk. Thus, a resilient banking sector should create the conditions for the integration of safety and competitiveness. The purpose of the article is to define knowledge factors that influence resilience on banking market, from both perspectives. The paper presents the theoretical foundations for banking market resilience concept, knowledge factors used to establish resilience on Polish banking market and their impact on the banking sector and main challenges facing the Polish banking sector in the nearest future.

Please Don't Demonize Nine Million People
Some instances of the fine treatment Palestinians and Palestinian-Americans receive courtesy of the "light unto the nations" in Israel's ongoing ethnic cleansing campaign and attempts to keep Palestinians away from the land of their origin:
"New Jersey stand-up comedian Maysoon Zayid describes being strip-searched at Ben Gurion Airport when she was 'seven, eight, nine years old' on family trips to visit her parents original home in Palestine. On her most recent trip in July 2006, Maysoon, an American citizen, had her sanitary pad taken by officials in Ben Gurion Airport. When the search was completed, she says, the Israeli official in charge, Inbal Sharon, then refused to return her pad or allow her to get another.
"Zayid, who has cerebral palsy and was sitting in a wheelchair, was then forced to bleed publicly for hours while she waited for her flight."
Even Holocaust survivors and the elderly aren't immune:
"St. Louis resident Hedy Epstein, whose parents and extended family perished in Nazi camps, and whose story is featured in the Academy Award winning documentary 'Into the Arms of Strangers: Stories of the Kindertransport,' reports being strip searched three years ago following her participation in nonviolent protests in the West Bank. Epstein, who was 79 at the time, describes being forced to bend over for an Israeli official to search her internally."
Please don't demonise nine million people whose crime is that they happened to be born or have origins in Palestine: not Syria, not Jordan, not Lebanon, but Palestine, the land of their origin. Third generation Palestinian refugees continue the struggle for implementation of their inalienable right to return to their homes.

Rob- I got to shoot my Mosin Nagant again. I had to sight the rifle in after I put a taller front sight on it. I am a three minute shooter so far. I'd like to shoot it again shooting outdoors with a larger target at a longer distance. I also shot my friends Browning copy of a 1881 lever action in 45-70. That 350 grain bullet makes the Mosin feel like a 22. It is embarrassing that the Browning front sight was a tenth of an inch too short.

-Judge Frederick J. Scullin Junior said Washington, DC's regulation of concealed carry was unconstitutional. The judge enjoined the city from enforcing those laws. Then judge Scullin denied DC's request for a stay in his decision. In layman's terms, the judge said I mean it, and I mean it now. The second amendment foundation has filed a motion seeking contempt charges against the city.
The city had a chance to appeal the judge's original decision. One reason the city might not have appealed is that DC did not want to lose in front of a federal appeals court, and the DC law was so egregious that the could well have lost even in front of a democrat appointed judicial panel.
-Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin signed a knife preemption bill. It passed the Oklahoma house by a vote of 81 to 4. The governor signed a bill allowing automatic opening knives the previous week. This means that common knives are legal across the state of Oklahoma.. and law enforcement can pursue violent criminals rather than chasing honest knife owners.
Licensed Open Carry Passes in Texas.
-The Texas senate and house passed separate open carry bills. and then both chambers ignored open carry until the last days of this legislative session. The Senate finally took up the house bill and passed licensed open carry. It included a provision that open carry is not probable cause for arrest. The concern was that texas police would arrest any black person carrying a gun. That provision has been eliminated from the bill and Gov. Greg Abbott tweeted, "Open Carry just passed in both the Texas House & Senate. Next destination: My Pen.
John – I know I have teased my fellow podcast Rachel Malone about how North Carolina is ahead of Texas on this. We have had unlicensed open carry since 1922. That said, I want to recognize all the hard work that she and other gun rights activists put in to make this law a reality. Congratulations to all 2A activists in TX who fought for this.
Campus Carry in Texas
The bill will be taken up by the Texas House on Sunday afternoon. Gov. Abbott has said he will sign the bill when it arrives on his desk.
The bill as passed by the Senate would allow licensed carry holders carry in dorms, classrooms, and public buildings of public universities. A provision to add private universities was eliminated in a conference committee.
While schools will be able to designate their own "gun free zones", it will be limited.
State Sen. , R-Granbury, said his legislation would allow for "very limited, reasonable prohibitions" on handguns in certain locations on university property.
He said his intent was that public college campuses would be as "permissive and accessible" as possible to handgun license holders and that universities would be as "specific and as minimalistic as possible" in defining restricted areas.

Concealed Carrier Has Pistol Seized and Disassembled and Placed in Trunk.
A Coral Gables, Florida policeman noticed a CCW License, freaked out, seized the pistol, disassembled it, and placed it in the trunk. And his chief see nothing wrong with it.
A man and his family were driving through Coral Gables when they were pulled over for exceeding the 15 MPH speed limit. The cop notice the CCW License when getting the Driver's License. His reaction was completely without justification. He order the driver to freeze and the officer reached in and removed the pistol from the driver's holster. The pistol was finally returned, disassembled, in the trunk. The driver is sure he was treated as a criminal. And his police chief feels the deputy did nothing wrong.
Marion Hammer, executive director of the Unified Sportsmen of Florida and past-president of the National Rifle Association, disagrees. "I believe this incident involves an illegal search — without provocation — of a law abiding citizen duly licensed to carry a concealed weapon," Eric Friday, the general counsel for. also has issues with the constitutionality of the search. Friday was not surprised by the allegations.
Friday reiterated that no driver in Florida has a duty to tell police when they are armed. "Because of repeated instances such as you are describing to me, I no longer recommend that to people today," Friday said. "I changed my position because of misconduct such as this. … I strongly believe it's time for the legislature to create specific penalties that apply when the rights of concealed-carry licensees are abused, or this will continue unabated."
It's a sad state of affairs when the cops mistrust and fear their obvious ally.
Anti-Gun Professor Dismisses California Gun Violence Restraining Orders
We've met anti-gun UCLA Law professor Adam Winkler before: the blog fisked his inane HuffPo article . He pushes the standard snake-oil of universal background checks and scary gun bans. So it was a little surprising when he dismissed the new California Gun Violence Restraining Orders as ineffective.
Last year, California instituted Gun Violence Restraining Orders allowing associates and law enforcement to immediately strip a citizen's 2nd Amendment rights with nothing more than an allegation. Patterned after the much-abused Domestic Violence Restraining Orders, the GVROs are a clear threat to California citizen's embattled rights. A bill to punish false allegations was soundly defeated in the legislature.
The found that GVROs would not have stopped recent mass shootings. In their report, Winkler is quoted, "The truth is that it is very rare to know in advance when someone is going to be dangerous with a firearm. This is not going to make a huge dent in our gun violence statistics." Seems like even this stopped clock is right for once.
Loretta Lynch's DOJ Will Move Forward With a Dozen Anti-Gun Regulations
The Obama administration's Department of Justice will with a dozen new anti-gun regulations . These proposed rules are to be enacted in the waning years of Obama's term.
According to The Hill, the new regulations range from restrictions on high-powered pistols to gun storage requirements. There will be a renewed effort to keep guns out of the hands of people who are mentally unstable or have been convicted of domestic abuse. There are rising concerns that the administration will try to disqualifying as many people as possible from gun ownership; people who may have had a problem at some time in their past, regardless of their current behaviour.
reports the media's coming support of these efforts has been telegraphed by Columbia University's weekend workshop for journalists. Fifteen of the panel's seventeen "experts" were allegedly gun control advocates. Apparently, journalism that presents both sides of the story is long gone. Gun Safety is likely to be the media theme, a more palatable, disingenuous description of anti-gun efforts. The a range of biased anti-rights talking points, ignoring much of the benefits and realities of an armed populace.
It's been said many times before, but the remaining months of Obama's reign are likely to be the most dangerous ever to the Constitution as a whole and the Right To Keep and Bear Arms specifically.
House Bill To Require Gun Owners To Carry Liability Insurance
One of Bloomberg's Useful Idiots: NY Rep Carolyn Maloney has introduced a bill to require the nation's gun owners to carry liability insurance. The , would require gun buyers to have liability insurance before being allowed to purchase a firearm, fining any owner $10,000 if found not to have it. Service members and law enforcement officers would be exempt from the requirement.
It should be obvious that requiring a citizen to purchase a service from a private entity before exercising a Protected Right strains the limits of the Constitution and common sense. Poor inner city residents most in need would be economically prevented from exercising their right to self-defense. This is far from Maloney's first anti-gun initiative. Just last week we discussed her proposed bill requiring each gun purchase to be reported to the Attorney General. Maloney and her puppet-master Bloomberg are clearly no friends of the Constitution.
John – I hate to add this but Maloney is a North Carolina native who went to New York City seeking fame, fortune, and gun control.
The New Nationwide Crime Wave: The Ferguson Effect
It's been a rough ten months since the justifiable shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. And It looks like it's going to get worse. In a , the impacts of the growing anti-police sentiments of the black activists, media and Progressive politician's are examined. Called the Ferguson Effect, it documents the restrictions on the police and the resulting dramatic increase in crime.
As we in the gun-rights community well know, politicians typically respond to notorious crimes and events by punishing the law-abiding. The Ferguson Effect is much of the same. After a string of highly publicized black deaths by police, usually when the suspect has resisted arrest, there has been a slew of anti-police efforts. Police have been facing new rules, regulations and policies, DOJ consent decrees, community organizers and politicized civilian review boards, all under the highly biased microscope of the media.
The assault on policing has resulted in a destruction of police morale. The officers realize that any interaction with a suspect, no matter how warranted, may end up destroying their lives and family. Proactive policing, typified by the very effect "Broken Window" policies, is gone, and crime has jumped. Rates of murder, assaults, and burglaries, have increased dramatically, in some neighborhoods as much as 500%. The decades long decrease in crime appears to be ending.
Unfortunately, the immediate victims of the rising urban violence are the poor of the inner city. Their ability to live safely and climb out of that morass will be threatened by the empowered criminals. But have no fear, the violence will not stay in the ghetto: everyone must be vigilant. Further compounding their errors, politicians will take advantage of the increasing crime rates to push for the usual ineffective gun restrictions.
Read the attached article in the show notes, it is well worth your time. And prepare and be aware. It's an increasingly dangerous world out there.

Segment 4 DGUs
Woman Injured Defending Her 中国体彩官方app
A 51-year-old woman was shot defending the occupants of her 中国体彩官方app from three armed and masked attackers. The three attackers burst through the Townsend, Delaware 中国体彩官方app and demanded money. One of the occupants was roughed up by an invader. The woman shot at an armed intruder and suffered a shot to the leg in the exchange of gunfire. The invaders fled, it is not known if any was injured. She and the roughed-up young man are in the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Sometimes the cost of self-defense can be high – but worth it, especially when four lives are in the balance.
Intruder Shot By Woman
A Trenton, New Jersey woman was forced to defend her life with a gun. A jilted lover broke into her house and she shot him in the thigh. The lovesick and ventilated Jemoine Morris was picked up by police and taken to the hospital. He has been charged with criminal mischief. As of now, the woman has not been charged, but the New Jersey investigation is ongoing.
Cabby Fights Back
The two men had hailed the cab on early Saturday morning and then held a knife on the driver as they attempted to rob him. The cabby drew his handgun and shot one of the men. After the shooting, both men fled the scene. However, police were able to follow the blood trail and find them. The cabby identified the wounded man as the one who had held the knife on him. The wounded man was given medical assistance but died on his way to the hospital.
Wrong Movers
Two guys were helping a third guy move into his new Aurora, Colorado condo on Friday night. . As two of the men started to pull out their wallets, the third man pulled out his handgun and shot all three of the robbers. One juvenile died after being taken to the hospital, another is in serious condition, and a third was arrested on unrelated charges after he sought treatment for a shoulder wound at Aurora South Hospital. The movers were questioned by police and prosecutors and released without any charges.
Car Thief Held At Gunpoint
From listener John comes a tale of modern jurisprudence. Tye Wiegel was interrupted in the pursuit of his trade by a Willimantic, Connecticut resident. Mr. Wiegel was attempting to steal the man's car, parked in front of the man's house. Wiegel declined to cease his attempts, so the resident went into his house, grabbed a handgun, and held the slow-on-the-uptake thief at gunpoint for the police.
Ol' Tye is well known to the police and is said to be a heroin addict, no surprise there. Police stated that "This is not our first time dealing with him with car break-ins. He was just arrested not too long ago. He was also a suspect in a car break-in earlier today," He has been charged with sixth-degree larceny, criminal attempt to commit the crime and second-degree breach of peace. For all that, he is held on only a $5,000 bond. Listeners are invited to speculate on how long this one man crime wave will remain behind bars.
Police said the 中国体彩官方appowner was not hurt but cautioned other residents against confronting criminals.
Surviving a 中国体彩官方app Invasion
Many of our DGUs involve 中国体彩官方app invasions. Unfortunately, 中国体彩官方app takeovers are becoming increasingly common as thieves become more brazen and violent. With the 中国体彩官方app invasion, kidnapping, extortion, torture and murder of the Savopoulous family in Washington, DC, the Statfor Group has written an excellent article on . The article is being offered free to non-subscribers. There is no way we could do this article justice trying to summarize it in a few words, so we urge every one of our listeners to follow the link in the show notes and read this potentially life-saving article.

Listener e-mail discussion
Alan emailed this one in with the subject line "Holding a bad guy at gunpoint"
Let me start by thanking you for your podcast. I listen to several different podcasts on a variety of topics, but I rank yours among the most anticipated each week.
From time to time someone mentions holding a bad guy at gunpoint until the police arrive. The question I have is how do you do that? If I were the sort of person who makes a living divesting other people of their possessions, and I were to encounter an armed person not inclined to be a victim, I believe I would simply turn my back, raise my hands in the air and say in a loud clear voice "I'm going to walk away now, I'm not a threat to you. If you shoot me you will be convicted of murder, if you try to stop me or even touch me you will be convicted of assault. In either case you will also end up in civil court where me or my family will sue you for everything you and your family have or ever will have. I'm leaving now, and you would be stupid to try to stop me." In fact, based on recent news coverage, you could almost make the same speech to a Police Officer.
What do you think?

PS, If you ever get tired of listening to podcasts, I suggest checking out librivox.org. They have a catalog of hundreds, maybe thousands of books that have passed into the public domain, which are read by volunteers and available free of charge. Jules Verne, Edger Rice Burrows, all the books you were supposed to read in high school literature class, books by authors you've never heard of, etc. Most books date back to the early 1900's or before. It is quite educational listening to hundred year old books and hearing the different attitudes and cultures of the past. Its a wonderful resource for anyone who spends a lot of time in an activity which would benefit by the addition of mental stimulation.
Paul – Here is what I wrote back to Alan –
Hey Alan,
Thanks for writing in! I just got 中国体彩官方app and have added your email to our show notes for Sunday's show.
A few thoughts on your email, I will of course repeat these on the show.
#1 if they do stop what they are doing and slowly back away, you are correct that since they aren't a threat that you could be convicted of murder if you do shoot. However there are a few circumstance where you are morally obligated to shoot a retreating felon EVEN if the threat has stopped. If you attend a MAG40 class this will be discussed. Let me just say that the chances are so remote to the extreme to be say while the chances are not 0 they are close.
#2 Holding someone at gunpoint is all about control and command. Believe me that if I were to boost my voice out good and loud in the proper tone that I can make someone absolutely believe that if they twitch in the wrong way that I am able and prepared to shoot them.
#3 We need to differentiate the severity of what you are attempting to stop (or in the case of our conversation have just stopped). If they have just kicked down your door and have maybe stolen something… Let them go. If they have already killed, that is another story.
There really is no black and white here.
Finally on the point of police, you do seem to have a point with that considering all of the negative publicity in the mainstream media lately, however I really wouldn't want to be the one to try it.
Rob, do you have any new posts you want to mention?
There were 27 shootings in Baltimore over the Memorial day weekend. 19 people were robbed in New York City's central park. Chicago had 12 people shot to death and an additional 47 shot and wounded over the same weekend. Our oh-so-caring politicians had to show sympathy for this flood of blue-city blood. Josh Earnest, the White House press secretary, called for more gun control.
I pointed out that the violence is the symptom, not a cause. The cause is the failed policies of deep-blue cities like Baltimore, Detroit, New York City and Chicago. You can't fix stupid with gun-control.
I also spoke to a friend of mine. He is a local spark plug and gets things started and done. He started one step at a time, so I wrote an article called The Painless Ladder of Self-Defense Activism.
John do you want to mention anything off of your blog you would like to talk about?
on a case in Wisconsin. They have already had to withdraw from one case because they violated pre-trial publicity rules of the Wisconsin Bar. Now it looks like they will have to withdraw from another case in Milwaukee over the same issue. Their conduct is being alleged to be prejudicial to a fair jury. It looks like another misstep by the Bad Apple lawyers from the Brady Center.

Total War: China Announced
Set during the Romance of the Three Kingdoms era of China.
This coming out in Fall of this year tells me I won't be seeing Total War: Warhammer 3 until next year.
I only waited like 12 years for this... Shut up, CA, and take my money!
Time to learn my history of the Three Kingdoms era of China and who are the major players in this era of conflict.
I'm sorry, I just got used to the magic setting with Warhammer. I want more of that. I wanted Total War 40k, or my wet dream has been Total War Shadowrun (Yes, I don't have any idea how it would work, but I love the universe)
Or hey, Total War Xcom. Add two new species that the Advent were actively fighting against.
I'm going to get Total War China. I've always loved the Three Kingdoms. But my mood has been shifted into magic and sci-fi. That's what I want now.
Finally! I kinda rather wanted another Chinese time frame bit its good enough.
The Chinese ministry of culture bans any media that depicts China as anything other than a united country. For this reason I suspect Chinese players will have a harder time getting hold of it, which is a shame for them.
I cannot say anything more, since I've only played one Total War game and I didn't like it.
Is it based on the romanticised version or on real historical record? Are there going to be magic and stuff? Is Lu Bu going to a one man army? Elephant?
So many question (also good choice by CA, but that means 40K is less likely in the immediate future).
I get the feeling that they are heading in at least a semi-romanticised version, seeing as how the heroes are prominently on display in the trailer. My guess is that they'll use something similar to the Lord/Hero system in Warhammer to represent these legendary heroes. Which probably is a good compromise between "My army is Lu Bu" and "Like Attila but in China".
We will see a World War 2 Total War before we see a Warhammer 40k Total War.
Tremble before the house of Wei!
How do they treat Koei's various Three Kingdoms games? (Dynasty Warriors, Kessen)
I dunno, aren't all these games basically the same now? Can't they just make 1 Total War game and release skins for it? I mean what really is the difference between Chinese spear-men against Cavalry, and Empire spear-men against Bretonnian cavalry?
I don't think it's true for more than millenia ago China: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Cliff_(film)
They might make an exception here. The three kingdoms are kind of a classic.
Animations mostly.
And Siege Battles in Rome 2 and Attila are alot more deeper than Warhammers.
(You can forify mini walls within the streets of the city, actually placing artillary pieces on walls, etc.)
Well this is rather interesting. I have to say, I rather like the current state of the Total War franchise. Big sweeping games like this, along with more focused games like Throne of Britannia, it's a good time to be into Total War.
Still this appears to be the year of the Historical Games which means I won't be seing Total War: Warhammer 3 until Fall/Holiday 2019.
Which means I won't be seeing Khorne Daemons for less than 2 years now :(
They better have more surprises with their DLC for Total War: Warhammer 2 before they move on to 3.
This looks fun. But really, what they SHOULD have done is do Total Warhammer 3, but set it in Cathay.
Then you get the best of both worlds! AND OGRES!
Nah, Romance of the Three Kingdoms (which is what all games of that era are based on) is basically China's war of the roses.
And of course, as usual, the Wu forces/Sun family is given very little focus.
Pretty much, being one of THE 4 great classical works of Chinese literature probably gives you some leeway. Hence the long, long list of Chinese adaptations ranging from comics, tv-series, movies, plays, (mobile) games and a really popular card game.
Reply to all: my source was one of Robert Rath's columns here where he said Victoria II was banned in China for that reason(or at least the expansion that made China functionally several countries was); I am not able to find it at this moment.
It makes sense that it would be allowed if it's based on a piece of literature rather than history; I thought Total War games were primarily history based. Apologies for making assumptions.
Well, its based on literature based on history. The Three Kingdoms was a real historical period of China, but the period is so glorified and romanticized that if anything, China, even now, would be like "Look how awesome our history is".
I honestly have no idea what China's 'official' views on media about that era is though, hence why I asked you about how they view Dynasty Warriors. If anything, Id imagine they would mostly hate that it wasnt made by China.
Edit: I did find this. Not exactly anything official, but its something.
Eh, they are the lesser faction though. Maybe if Sun Ce had lived long enough, it would have been different, but most of Wu was them siding with Shu, and sometimes siding with Wei.
Fucking sold! ROTK series is a lot of fun to play, but their battles have never and likely will never come close to what Total War brings to the table.
As far as I understand China's stance on its' own history, it is quite alright to discuss the Three Kingdoms, the Yuan dynasty (which was created by invading Mongols) and the Qing dynasty (led by Manchurians). What China objects to is depictions of "modern China", roughly starting around the Boxer rebellion, as a fractured or divided country. The purpose is to diminish the legitimacy of Taiwan as a nation and prop up the legitimacy of the People's Republic of China. Integral to the PRCs image as a legitimate nation (as opposed to the rebels that won the civil war) is that China was unified and the the Communists were the rulers the people wanted, instead of just one of several splinter groups that eventually won a bloody civil war.
So if you talk about the Three Kingdoms, that's all cool because that's history. If you try to talk about the Xi'an Incident or the existence of the Kuomingdang, that's definitely not cool because those are things that the PRC leadership want people to forget, in favor of their manufactured version of modern Chinese history.
If we're talking about the novel then maybe, but historically? Definitely not. I assumed this was meant to be CA's next 'big' historical title, and if so it would be nice if they actually acknowledged what happened historically.
That kinda chaffed me, as well. The political maneuvering of the Sun Wu kingdom was some of the more interesting stuff in the era, and they outlived both the Shu Han and the Wei as a result. Though to be fair we don't have all the info for this game yet.
Ah well, most stories lean too hard on the "shu=good, wei=evil" aspect, so they don't have any room to spare for Wu
Betcha the Dynasty Warriors guys are like, "shit, man, Creative Assembly's stealing our thunder!"
Meh. Is this going to be really bland unit-wise, like Shogun was? With the story focussed campaigns of Attila, which totally restricted all freedom of the player?
I miss the good old TW days.
