Our Score
Score: 74/ 100. At the top of the popular Bowflex line of home gyms, the Revolution is a durable fitness machine with over 100 workouts (300 lbs max.) to mix things up and give you a great variety of intense workouts.
- Spiraflex plate delivers good resistance
- Sturdy machine (max user weight 300 pounds.).
- Lift up to 300 lbs. with an innovative resistance system.
- 100+ workouts readily available for every workout imaginable.
- A good variety of helpful accessories.
- Not the most compact house fitness center (10 ′ x 7 ′ workout area).
- Expensive piece for a home gym at 3k.
- Assembly does take some time.
- Plates can be tough to add and remove
- It still has that band workout feeling
- Lifting heavy weight with your upper body tends to put some strain on the shoulders.
- Circuit training or working with a partner is a waste of time.
- Lat pull down is average at best.
Every component of the Bowflex Revolution is created to offer a complete comfortable exercise for your whole body.
The Bowflex Revolution puts out maximum resistance levels up to 300 pounds for upper body workouts and 600 pounds for lower body routines. (I'm not sure I'd try a 600-pound leg press on this machine)
The Bowflex Revolution may come across as a pretty big home gym with a workout footprint of 10′ x 7 ′, yet it does fold to a fairly compact size at 55 ″ x 38 ″.
Home Workouts
The machine consists of over 100 workouts offering up to 400 various variations making your workouts literally limitless.
The Bowflex Revolution uses exercises for weight loss, efficiency training, strength building, heart rate training and recovery from injury.
Bowflex Revolution Characteristics.
The Bowflex Revolution is built with resistance functions for every single part of your body.
The freedom arms enable you to move your arms in 10 various positions while adjusting angles up to 170 degrees. Use the leg extension to increase strength and get them ripples in your legs.
Make the most of the vertical bench press to complete a wide array of workouts. Burn a lot more calories with the integrated rowing.
Bowflex Revolution will give you numerous angles and grips to work with. It really a functional trainer that you see in every gym with an annoying bar in the middle to work around.
Rest your elbows on the preacher curl attachment to start building those guns. Which is kinda nice. But, it's a little corky getting used to.
Service warranty & Warranty.
The Bowflex Revolution features a 10-year guarantee.
You'll never get bored exercising on the Bowflex Revolution home gym. The versatility of having 100+ exercises at your disposal makes the Bowflex Revolution a popular buy. However, you could get a bit frustrated changing plates and do any type circuit training. Forget working out with a partner. That will drive you nuts.
Another thing to point out, when you bench press on the machine you have to reach back for the handles. Even at the longest ring, it does put some strain on the shoulders getting the weight up to the press position. I'm sure there's an attachment that helps but why not include it?
Where to Purchase.

What we would recommend is probably pretty stupid but Craigslist is another way to get a smoking deal on a good Revolution. They pop up all the time.

Buildings on Harvard University's campus were evacuated for hours Monday, interrupting final exams. Steve Cooper of NBC station WHDH of Boston reports.
A Harvard student was charged Tuesday with making a hoax bomb threat just so he could get out of a final exam.
Eldo Kim, 20, of Cambridge, Mass., was scheduled for a hearing Wednesday in U.S. District Court. He could face as long as five years in prison, three years of supervised release and a $250,000 fine if convicted of communicating the bomb threat that cleared four large buildings Monday.
In an affidavit filed included with the criminal complaint, the FBI said Kim admitted sending the bogus threats out of "a desire to avoid a final exam." The exam he was trying to duck wasn't specified.
The affidavit said Kim emailed bomb threats to several Harvard offices, including the campus police and the student newspaper, about 8:30 a.m. ET Monday. He said he acted alone and picked the addresses at random from the university's website, according to the affidavit.
Under a subject line reading "bombs placed around campus," the messages read: "shrapnel bombs placed in science center, sever hall, emerson hall, thayer hall, 2/4. guess correctly. be quick for they will go off soon," according to the complaint.
He said he chose the word "shrapnel" because "it sounded more dangerous" and wrote "2/4. guess correctly" to slow the evacuation, according to the affidavit.
"Kim was scheduled to take a final exam in Emerson Hall, a building on the Harvard campus, at 9:00 a.m. on December 16, 2013. Kim stated that he was in Emerson Hall at 9:00 a.m. when the fire alarm sounded and the building was evacuated," it said, adding:
"According to Kim, upon hearing the alarm, he knew that his plan had worked."
Each of the buildings was evacuated, and investigators found no explosives, but all morning exams were postponed. Because the four buildings are clustered together near Harvard Yard, the historic center of campus was closed.
Kim took several steps to hide his identity, but in the end, it was the WiFi that got him, the FBI said.
Kim said he sent his messages using a temporary, anonymous email account routed through the worldwide anonymizing network Tor, according to the affidavit.
So far, so good. But to get to Tor, he had to go through Harvard's wireless network — and university technicians were able to detect that it was Kim who was trying to get to Tor, according to the affidavit.

Three Generations
Alas, the end of another weekend :( You know what though, weekends are always so glorious because we work hard for them! Imagine how boring they'd be if they were undeserved? :P
Remember that snack I was after last night? Here's what I came up with…
Marshmallow protein pudding! I mixed up a scoop and a half of vanilla protein powder with a little water, then stirred in cinnamon, mini marshmallows and cheerios. It was delightful!
I had more dessert for breakfast today, the temptation was just too great!
A big hunk of my Nana's banana bread toasted with cream cheese. As well as a couple boiled eggs on the side.
I'm on a boiled eggs kick. They are the perfect snack for a protein/fat boost.
My mom and I decided on a cardio day today, so I snacked on a Toasted Nuts n' Cranberry Luna bar before going.
This is one of the "new recipe" bars, with only 170 calories now. I think it actually tastes better than the old kind, the fruit and nut chunks are larger.
At the gym I did 20 minutes on the treadmill, 20 minutes on the elliptical, 10 minutes on the rowing machine and 10 minutes on the stairmaster. It was one of those days where I wasn't feeling very motivated, but I knew doing a little bit on every machine would keep me entertained :)
I was a voracious beast by the time we got home, and my mom had the bright idea of cooking up some bison burgers.
No buns, but I just wanted the meat anyways ;) I've only tried bison once before and I wasn't entirely sold. But my goodness it was goooood today. My mom said she just put bbq sauce, worchestire and curry in the mix? Regardless, it was heavenly. Perfect post-workout meal!
We also had a greek salad on the side.
And I apparently have a larger appetite than everyone, because I needed some extra baby carrots to fill me up.
I eat at least two servings of these bad boys a day, Seriously, how am I not orange??
Then we scooted over to my Nana's to get a visit in before her curling started (curling does not make for very entertaining television…).
Here I am at my Nana's. The bowl of grapes next to me significantly smaller…
And my mom. I think I can see that post-elliptical glow ;)
Three generations. I've got a lot to look forward to based on these two women!! My Nana will be 87 this spring and has been doing yoga for 5 years! I should also add that she's never died her hair. My fingers are crossed I inherited her hair pigment ;)
Remember this picture I took of my mother's yard yesterday?
Well I came home to my yard in Fredericton looking like this:
Crazy! We're only a 90 minute drive apart, I can't get over the difference. It was warmer in Freddy this weekend too. Running next weekend maybe??
I was totally bummed having to come back to the real world after my lovely weekend home. But a package hanging out of my mail box immediately lifted my spirits.
Olympic mittens!! Thankyouthankyouthankyou Jaime!! I was lusting after her mitties during our blogger meet-up in Halifax a few weeks ago, and she got her mom to pick some up out West to send this way!! I feel like such a proud Canadian now – as I should dammit! We kicked some mayjah booty this year :D
I'm all out of groceries and wanted something super simple for dinner, so I tried out a sweet omelette that I've seen on a few blogs now.
I mixed up 1 scoop vanilla protein powder with 1/2 cup egg whites, 1/4 tsp baking powder and cinnamon and fried it up in a pan. It turned out kinda fluffy like a pancake, mostly due to the baking powder I added. I sandwiched some blueberry jam and almond butter in there. It was actually quite good! In the back is a sliced granny smith with cinnamon and honey.
Well, I'm going to get a few chores done to get ready for my busy week ahead. I will not be watching the Oscars tonight as they start at 9:30pm on the Atlantic coast, which is precisely this girl's bedtime!! I've got a date with a spin bike at 6am tomorrow ;) Have a great start to your week!!
Question of the Day: What's the best thing you ate this weekend? I love asking this question, as there's always so many different answers! Mine was probably the above bison burger :)
Posted on March 7, 2010, in Workouts and tagged banana bread, bison, cardio machines, eggs, family, Olympics, omelette, protein pancakes, protein powder, protein pudding, salad. Bookmark the permalink. 24 Comments.
I can't wait until my order of protein powder comes in this week so I can try out some of your delicious treats with protein powder! I've never had it before but if it tastes 1/2 as good as your food LOOKS, I'm sure I'll be hooked =)
Best thing I ate this weekend? Sweet potato cheetahs that got just a bit burnt so they were nice and crispy .. MMM I wish I had some sweet potatos at school now so I could have some more.
Nicole G
I like those new Lunas, particularly that flavor you had. They are quite good.
You look so cute with your mittens :D
Best thing I had all weekend was probably the wonderful banana nut bagel with honey walnut cream cheese this morning. The place we went to makes the best!
Last night I had "date night" with the boy, and the highlights of which were Spanish chorizo as an appetizer, and a dessert stop in which I had a small fro yo…and the chocolate frosting off a slice of cake. Aaaand that's why I don't belong in the "healthy living blogger" world but it's how I roll :-)
Awww – wonderful pics!
Nana´s adorable!
Delicious eats, as usual. Haha.. :)
Have an amazing week, Susan!
Brazilian XOXO´s,
That's some killer cardio! And what a fun snack.. I'm continually amazed at what greatest can come out of protein powder +.. whatever!
I love buffalo! I think the best thing I've eaten this weekend is the peanut butter chocolate banana pancakes I made on Saturday. Seriously good.
THOSE MITTENS! I found one while running on campus at YorkU in Toronto two weeks ago and I was so sad that the other hadn't been dropped somewhere nearby – they're so cute!
Also – your mama and nana are gorgeous! Family's got great genes. :)
Best thing I ate this weekend: An amazing spinach and redskin potato fritatta with a side of rye toast. I am a huge sucker for breakfast.
best thing i ate all weekend…hmmm broccoli? no popcorn with nooch and maca and choc chips. simple but reallly good.
bison. growing up in Minnesota i knew so many fathers who would bring home the deer and bison meat was part of life. not my thing then and not now! but i have heard it's got great stats :)
I invested in a natural orange flavoring which has transformed my smoothies! Lovin the gloves! x x
I love bison! So delicious, and healthy too!
Best thing I ate? Tie: Indian food after my yogathon and Avocado Sandwich at Fressen during my bloggie meetup!
Cute mittens! Your family really does photograph well!
I had some serious margaritas on Friday that pretty much ruined my chances of enjoying any food this weekend! lol!
Aww.. your mom and grandma are the cutest women ever! :D
Those mittens are ADORable!! Love them!
LOVE that your Nana watches curling. My grammy used to too!
Best thing I had all weekend had to be Saturday's din: brussel sprouts/sweet potato/apple hash with blackbean/corn/red pepper pancakes! Who sez you can't have breakfast for dinner?
Have a good Monday!
Loved the picture of 3 generations of the incredible…eh, I don't know your last name…but haha. Anyway, you three ladies are gorgeous!
MArshmallow protein pudding? Sweetness!

While I don't personally like using the term "collusion" simply because "collusion" is not a federal crime, new revelations stemming from both the House Intel Committee's minority and majority reports, indicate that collusion or a violation of "18 U.S. Code § 371 – Conspiracy to commit an offense or to defraud the United States" did likely take place within the Trump Campaign.
While Republicans clearly ended the investigation early, not allowing key witnesses to be interviewed or the issuance of important subpoenas to individuals and organizations in question, even the report coming from the Republican members of the committee shows what appears to be strong evidence of a conspiracy. There are three main events, which both the majority and minority reports shed light on. They are as follows:
Flynn Appears to have known about the Wikileaks hack prior to the Wikileaks hack:
Michael Flynn knew that the DNC hackers and a nation, in particular, were undertaking 'cyber operations' against the Democratic National Committee. How do we know that he knew this? Because on July 15, 2016 he sent an email to an unnamed campaign communications advisor stating:
"There are a number of things happening (and will happen) this election via cyber operations (by both hacktivists, nation-states and the DNC)."
Note that he used the word "both" in his email, implying that the activists and nation-states were the ones undertaking the 'cyber operations' against the DNC. Within a week of this email being sent, Wikileaks dumped their first batch of hacked DNC emails to the public, embarrassing both the Clinton campaign and the DNC, and likely hurting Clinton's presidential hopes.
If in fact Michael Flynn knew that these hacks were forthcoming and knew that a nation-state was behind them, yet failed to report this information to the FBI, then it seems highly likely that Flynn and the Trump Campaign were involved in a conspiracy to propagate hacked information to the public.
While Michael Flynn is not available to comment, due to obvious reasons (he's said to be cooperating with the Special Counsel), I was able to get in touch with his son Michael Flynn Jr. for comment.
"Pretty vague statement. Like everything else, [I] would have to see context," Flynn Jr. told me.
While he's right that context is incredibly important here, there is no doubt that Mueller has the context of these conversations and a supporting witness, in Flynn, himself.
Donald Trump Jr. admits to breaking the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.
Late last year the media reported that Donald Trump Jr., who was acting on the part of the campaign, had received a direct message on Twitter from Wikileaks. Within that message was a stolen or 'guessed' password that Wikileaks had obtained for a soon-to-launch anti-Trump website. The fact that this password was shared with Trump Jr. from Wikileaks wasn't a crime in itself, although it certainly made it appear as if Wikileaks was working with the campaign. What would have been a crime, however, is if Donald Trump Jr. or any campaign member, used the provided password to access the website without permission from the website owners. Well, guess what, thanks to the Democrats in the House Intelligence Committee, we now have direct evidence that such a crime took place, right out of the mouth of Trump Jr. himself.
"Guys I got a weird Twitter DM from [W]ikileaks. See below. I tried the password and it works and the about section they reference contains the next pic in terms of who is behind it. Not sure if this is anything but it seems like it's really wikileaks asking me as I follow them and it is a DM. Do you know the people mentioned and what the conspiracy they are looking for could be? These are just screen shots but it's a bully built out page claiming to be a PAC let me know your thoughts and if we want to look into it."
The words "I tried the password, and it works" is all that any prosecutor would likely need to charge Donald Trump Jr. with computer fraud, perpetrated by accessing information from a protected computer, or 18 U.S.C. § 1030(a)(2)(c).
Robert Mueller Likely Has Email and Skype Conversations Between George Papadopoulos and Russian Officials
The minority report touches on multiple conversations that Trump campaign advisor, George Papadopoulos engaged in with the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA). These conversations took place via Skype and email, over a period of several weeks and involved discussions related to setting up meetings between Russian officials and the Trump campaign. We must keep in mind that it is more likely than not that Robert Mueller has records and transcripts of all of these emails and Skype conversations, since Papadopoulos is cooperating.
and more…
In addition to these three events, last week we also got confirmation that Russian attorney, Natalia Veselniskaya, whom Donald Trump Jr., Paul Manafort and Jared Kushner all met with at Trump Tower on June 9, 2016, is in fact a Russian spy or an 'informant'. This confirms that these three campaign officials, including Trump's Campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, met with a Russian spy, in order to get 'dirt on Hillary Clinton". This meeting proves that the campaign, at the very least, tried to work with Russia in an attempt to undermine our democratic election process. In other words, this meeting shows that there was a clear attempt to violate "18 U.S. Code § 371 – Conspiracy to commit an offense or to defraud the United States".
Clearly laws were broken by the campaign. The question is whether or not Mueller and his team will be able to link likely crimes committed by the higher up members of the campaign directly to a conspiracy involving candidate and now President Trump, Russia, Wikileaks, and others.
Considering the fact that the evidence that's already known to the public seems to suggest criminal activity, while Mueller is surely sitting on an order of magnitude more evidence and information than the public has, it would appear to be a good bet that Mueller plans to show that the President's family, and likely the President himself, were involved in a criminal conspiracy against the United States. Time will only tell though.
The post Yes, There is Strong Evidence of "Collusion" or a Conspiracy to Defraud the United States appeared first on IR.net.

Kerala State Electricity Board has issued a red alert as water level in Idukki dam continued to rise despite keeping one of the five shutters open for several hours on Thursday. The water level has touched 2,399.56 feet on Thursday evening.
It is the first time in 26 years that the shutter of the Cheruthoni dam of the Idukki reservoir, considered the biggest arch dam in Asia, has been opened.
The decision to lift the shutter by 50 cm was taken at a meeting chaired by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan in the morning after the water level in the reservoir touched 2,398.80 feet. The full reservoir level of the dam is 2,403 feet.
Approximately 50 cubic metres of water is being released per second during the trial run. The initial plan was to keep the No 3 shutter open for four hours since 12.30pm. However, the shutter was kept open as the water level refuses to come down.
Officials in Idukki have issued alerts to residents living in the vicinity of the dam and within 100 metres of the Cheruthoni and Periyar rivers. People living along Periyar River have been asked to stay cautious.
#WATCH: Road gets washed out in Malappuram after flash flood hit the region. #Kerala pic.twitter.com/2CqWjkn0no— ANI (@ANI) August 9, 2018
After the shutters of the Idamalayar dam were released early on Thursday morning, localised flooding was reported in Aluva, around 10 km from Cochin International Airport. Earlier in the day, flight arrivals were halted temporarily at the airport following rising water level in nearby regions. The operations, however, resumed later.
As per State Emergency Operations Centre, 22 people have been killed in floods and landslides triggered by torrential rains in several districts. (Idukki – 11, Malappuram – 5, Kozhikode – 1, Wayanad – 3, Kannur – 2).
Four teams of the National Disaster Response Force, comprising 45 personnel each, have left Chennai for Kerala to assist the rescue and relief operations. An Inter-Ministerial Central Team of the central government is also visiting flood-affected areas in Kerala, while Army troops are being mobilised from Bengaluru for deployment in the rain-battered southern state.

2012-02-22 - Legendary Swedish viking/death oufit UNLEASHED just announced the tracklist and the artwork of the upcoming album "Odalheim".
With "Odalheim" UNLEASHED not only present the successor of "As Yggdrasil Trembles" in the year 2012, but also continue telling their post-doomsday story, of course embedded into the Norse mythology. After the mighty world tree Yggdrasil had trembled and rung in the end of the world, Fimbul winter followed: Three years of darkness and coldness, during which Mother Nature took back what was rightfully hers. This caused the end of life as we know it. Ragnarök. But the warriors who've survived will build a new world out of the old one's ashes. Right here, the story of "Odalheim" begins.
With "Odalheim", the Swedes release their eleventh studio album. Once more, the mighty line up consisting of Johnny (bass& vocals), Fredrik (lead guitar), Tomas (rhythm guitar)
and Anders (drums) has created a multifarious and hymnal album in typical UNLEASHED manner.
Johnny commented the artwork:
"The artwork is made by Sebastian Ramstedt, just like our previous 4 albums.
It shows the new world "Odalheim", at the break of dawn at Birka shores, and just before the attack of White Christ. The concept of the album is taken from the book by the same name.
A book I haven't yet had the time to complete."
"Odalheim" was produced by Fredrik Folkare and recorded in the Swedish Chrome Studios.
The track list:
01. Fimbulwinter
02. Odalheim
03. White Christ
04. The Hour Of Defeat
05. Gathering The Battalions
06. Vinland
07. Rise Of The Maya Warriors
08. By Celtic And British Shores
09. The Soil Of Our Fathers
10. Germania
11. The Great Battle Of Odalheim
The new album will be released on April 20, 2012 via Nuclear Blast.

This conference closed the two-year "Promoting Young Workers Interests through Social Partnership Channels" TACIS IBPP project financed by the European Commission. The partners of the project are the Federation of Trade Unions of Ukraine (FPU) and the Confederation of Free Trade Unions of Ukraine (KVPU); the overall aim of the project is to promote interests of the working youth in the Ukrainian society through mobilising participation of young workers in the processes of social partnership and dialog and through enabling trade union organisations to address specific needs and interests of young workers.
Young union activists who took part in the project also applied themselves as experts on the everyday life of young people in Ukraine and developed a set of recommendations to the authorities on the main directions of the national youth policy with reference to their acquired knowledge on the European Social Model. More than 200 trainees were involved in education activities in 11 regions of Ukraine – Kiev, Lviv, Zaporoj'e, Odessa, Dnepropetrovsk, Donetsk, Kirovohrad, Nikolaev, Khmelnitskiy, Lugansk and Chernigov while national thematic discussions – on decent work, on informal economy and role of the unions – as well as 6 regional conferences, with social partners, on the issues of decent work for young people brought together several hundred people.
The conference was aimed at assessing trade union and educational potential developed in the framework of the project and to outline its further usage and application by trade union organizations. It involved more than 60 young trade union activists from the project regions, as well as trade union leaders and representatives of the SDA and ITUC/PERC. During plenary sessions and group work the unionists have discussed the impact of the project in the regions, the successes and lessons learnt of the activities, the challenges that Ukrainian society and trade union are facing and the strategic role of trade union education in making workers organizations capable to meet them. The conference has discussed a document to be addressed to the government of Ukraine. In particular, the conference discussed the issues of education system of Ukraine, reforms of health system, the employment and labour market policies, wages, family and household issued, including housing programmes, as well as the urgency for the young workers to voice their concerns with decision making authorities, through and with assistance of their unions.
The participants of the conference have also developed recommendations for their unions to ensure follow-up, multiplicative effect and sustainability of the project action. These recommendations included:
Development of trade union strategy in the field of education, that would address all the level of trade union movement;
Design and implementation of cooperation projects, with unions of the European Union;
Planning of specific targeted trade union actions and trade union public relations campaigns.

You've probably heard by now that noted musicians Christian Karlsson of Miike Snow and lyrical pop genius Linus Elkow from Style of Eye have joined forces to create one hell of a self-titled debut EP, Galantis, which was released earlier this week.
Karlsson has written and produced for Madonna, Kylie Minogue, and Britney Spears, including Spears' ubiquitous hit "Toxic," and Elkow wrote and produced Icona Pop's chart-topper "I Love It." But for themselves, the pair have moved away from such pop sensibilities. Only after listening to their debut EP will you realize the eccentric and groovy tunes that deliver a truly unique '90s-meets-euro-house feel.
This powerhouse duo will have their debut at Coachella, and then their nationwide tour kicks off right here in Washington, DC, at the 9:30 Club on April 24. The show will include "production surprises," as they believe that a DJ set would not do the EP justice. We have a pair of tickets to give away so that you and a friend can experience it all in person.
Karlsson and Elkow have already received numerous praise from artists such as Diplo, Steve Angello, and more since they began creating music together in 2012. Their success can be attributed to the group's dynamic. In a joint statement, the two said, "When we started Galantis, we set out to challenge each other and experiment with all of the sounds and ideas that we find exciting. We built a studio on a small island in the Baltic Sea, and our surroundings became a source of inspiration for the EP."
For a chance to win our pair of tickets, cite a duo in the comments below whose unique pairing brought out the best in each other and made for some great music. We're going to go with Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart, the Eurythmics.
A winner will be chosen at noon on Friday, April 11. Tickets are still available!

SLOW ORDER new deal
Bologna-based groove and stoner post-metal rockers SLOW ORDER have inked a worldwide deal with powerhouse label ARGONAUTA RECORDS!
Since the release of their first EP 'Pyramid Toward Oblivion' in 2011, the instrumental power trio pursues a sound of the classic stoner rock with modern heavy metal influences. Following SLOW ORDER's first full-length in 2014, 'Hidden Voices', gained the band not only high praise from both fans and press alike, but also allowed them to share the stages of all sizes with acts such as Pentagram, Karma To Burn or Avon, to name just a few.
2019 will see SLOW ORDER to take a new step and release their sophomore album, 'Eternal Fire', with Argonauta Records. Says the band: "We are excited to announce that we have signed with Argonauta Records! The label will release our new album "Eternal Fire" during mid of 2019, and we want to thank Gero from Argonauta and all the people behind the band that worked hard to produce and realize it!"
The tracklist reads as follows:
1. Eternal Fire
2. Obsessive Tale
3. Serpent's Son
4. Eclipse
5. Kanavar
6. The Hunter
7. Starweed
8. Black Mass
'Eternal Fire' is featuring eight blistering instrumental tracks showcasing the band's classic sound of previous releases and new blend of a groovy, post-metal apocalypse. With a release set for the late Spring of 2019 on Argonauta Records, 'Eternal Fire' will easily please all fans of bands alike Russian Circles, Karma To Burn, Yob, Sleep, Pelican and Mastodon!

I see a problem making large structures like your wall
block is destroyed, whole column falls, lands on uneven remains of block, and tips over
The fact that it has to be a bunch of disconnected objects sounds like you need a completely different solution.

Here is a better test showing some of the features of Piecemaker*
Note, this is in Alpha stages of development so more work will be done to it to make it more efficent.
Also note the wall isn't connected together whatsoever as a single wall piece would act as a single cube so to speak.


text: Chris and his team helped us to redesign our kitchen and laundry room and we are very, very pleased with the outcome. It was refreshing to have a company listen to your "vision" and then have them create numerous ideas for us to consider. Sometimes even suggesting changes that we never even thought to make. This was our second project with West Chester Design and Build and what we appreciated most was the consistency of the professionals who worked on both of our projects.

Remove Infosearchbox.com virus (Free Guide)
Why are Infosearchbox.com redirects dangerous?
Questions about Infosearchbox.com virus
If you are continuously redirected to Infosearchbox.com and forced to use Vega Search 123 search engine, then chances are, your browser is infected with Infosearchbox.com virus. This noxious browser hijacker slithers into the system silently along other apps, hijacks web browsers and modifies their settings. This browser hijacker might pose a threat to your computer system by displaying potentially dangerous third-party content, which it typically integrates into VegaSearch 123 search results. Trusting this search engine would be a mistake because its search results can direct you to websites full of dangerous content. This hijacker has been created with the sole purpose to advertise third-party content and generate pay-per-click revenue, so it is unlikely that it cares about its users' safety. Another suspicious fact is that this search engine does not present its legal documents publicly, so you cannot find and read its Terms of Use or Privacy Policy. Therefore, we recommend you to stay away from such suspicious search tool. If you are looking for a browsing tool that would help you search the web safely, better switch the one that Infosearchbox.com redirect virus promotes to a more trustworthy one, for instance, Google or Yahoo. Remove Infosearchbox.com for your safety, and learn how to prevent such hijackers from infiltrating into the computer system in the future.
This browser hijacker slows down the computer system, makes annoying ads appear and generally decreases the performance of the PC. Who would want to keep such vague program on their computers, especially if it has slithered in there without user's approval? If your computer has been affected, we recommend you to hesitate no more and carry out Infosearchbox.com removal. For that, you can use the Reimage Reimage Cleaner Intego software. If you do not want to use automatic spyware removal tool, then try to delete it manually using instructions provided at the end of this article.
How to avoid Infosearchbox.com hijack?
Potentially unwanted programs like Infosearchbox.com hijack computer systems with the help of software distribution technique that is called software bundling. This method allows spreading several programs together in a one software package. Typically, such package looks like a simple program, and there are no signs indicating that it contains several additional apps. However, if keeping your computer spyware free is a thing of utmost importance to you, then you should check components of every file or program that you download from the web. Typically, it is enough to choose Advanced or Custom settings for the installation and opt-out all suggested files and programs by removing the checkmarks next to them. Free programs might offer you free search tools, weather apps, media players, file converters, shopping assistants, and similar freeware to install for free, but remember that such programs in most cases are nothing more than unwanted software that displays annoying advertisements. If you do not want to be bombarded with annoying web ads, better stay away from untrustworthy third-party software.
How to remove Infosearchbox.com browser hijacker?
To say goodbye to this hardly useful program, you need to uninstall suspicious extensions, delete cookies, or just reset your web browsers. However, you also need to remove Infosearchbox.com virus remains from the system, too. If you have never done this before, and it seems like something difficult to do, you can take a look at these Infosearchbox.com removal instructions that we have provided. We believe that it should become apparent how to uninstall this program manually then. If you believe that your system is contaminated with additional spyware threats, then run a system scan with our recommended program and reveal all potentially unwanted programs lurking on your system.
You may remove virus damage with a help of Reimage Reimage Cleaner Intego. SpyHunter 5Combo Cleaner and Malwarebytes are recommended to detect potentially unwanted programs and viruses with all their files and registry entries that are related to them.

Found by legendary crate-digger DJ JS1, this track has been sought after since it was recorded in 1993. Recorded for the Who's the Man soundtrack (as seen in the footage from the Onyx DVD), Biggie's song ended up being his first single "Party and Bullshit". Huge thanks to DJ JS1 who was nice enough to give it to Sticky Fingaz of Onyx. A higher quality version was put on the Onyx album "Cold Case Files 2″ available at OnyxDomain.com

Looking to Get More Customers from Google?
Ensure you are doing all you can to get your business visible on Google results by following some very simple rules.
1. Content is King
Today, people search from their phones for specific products and services, and they are looking for nearby businesses – it's called Local Search and it's growing everyday.
To be found in local search results, businesses must let Google know what products and services they sell, and what their physical location details are. Businesses also must consider voice search, map search, and long-tail keyword search. Being optimized for 10-20 words is no longer good enough – you need hundreds of words to ensure success.
The good news is, that's easy to do with the Shoptoit Search Platform. Simply log into your account and add your business information – including the products and services you provide. There are no limits.
Adding content is simple, and we have more than 30 million pre-made products you can choose to load to your site. Literally, in a few minutes you can have a comprehensive local SEO campaign up and running for your business.
2. Back Links Increase Ranking
Ever wonder how Google decides which website to show first?
The top 10 websites listed on a search results page receive over 90% of all the clicks. People rarely even look past the top 10. And now with Google's "local stack" (the maps you see on many search results pages) it is even more important that your business is ranked high.
With Shoptoit you can add the Listings Management Module to your account – and we will not only integrate into your Google My Business listing, we will also create listings on a whole host of other sites, like: Facebook, Local, Yelp, and Apple Maps. These listings will generate backlinks to your site, dramatically increasing your likelihood of getting listed in the top 10 results. Additionally, your business listing will be added the GPS databases of both here and TomTom so you will even get found when drivers search from their cars.
3. Ads Guarantee Exposure
Locally Targeted Ads ensure you're being shown to potential customers.
They are searching near you, they have the intention to buy, and they are looking for a local business to help them. When they do find a nearby business, 90% of them act – they call or visit the business and most of them do so in less than 1-hour.
Locally targeted keyword advertising is quite simply the most effective form of advertising any small business can invest in to get new customers. However it can be hard to setup properly, and very time consuming to manage. That is – until now!
Meet "Gary" Shoptoit's search robot. He removes all the hassle of Google management – and because he is a machine, he manages and optimizes vast amounts of data to ensure you get the best return on your investment. Once you have told Gary what you want to be found for, the local area you want to target, and what your monthly budget is – your work is done. It really is that simple, and you'll see tangible results in only a few days.
Remember, We're Here to Help.
Schedule a call with us. We're happy to amswer any questions you may have, or walk you through how to get your account setup.

Advocating for physicians, patients, and our community since 1853.
"Survey after survey shows that the #1 reason physicians join the Bexar County Medical Society is to support organized medicine and have a strong political voice."
Why Be Politically Active? Here is what physicians are saying:
"If we do not work to manage medical legislation, it will be managed for us. Help save our profession."
"Policy-making is not a spectator sport. You cannot sit on the sidelines and say somebody else will do it. It doesn't work that way. You've got to be involved and you've got to be interested."
"You either help govern or you're governed."
"A physician's responsibility is to seek changes in those requirements which are contrary to the best interest of the patient."
"Physicians can join TEXPAC and make their voices heard."

Three Life Hacks
I love seeing photo galleries of life hacks. You know, those uber-creative solutions to life's little challenges – things that just make your life easier. I have to say, there are some really, really creative people in the world. Some of the things they come up with are brilliant.
I'm only somewhat creative so I only have three, but they're pretty good and, most importantly, they work for me. Maybe they'll work for you.
Unexpected consequences.
When our kids were young, we didn't recycle. Not one little bit. As a result, we threw away everything – bottles, cans, jars, cardboard boxes, paper…everything. We used to need to empty the kitchen trash every night – it was usually full and couldn't be compressed anymore, so out it went. Now, all that stuff goes in the recycling bin.
With that huge volume of recyclable materials not going in the trash, and with two fewer people living in the house, the kitchen trash doesn't fill up nearly as fast. We empty it about twice a week. What that means is that it begins to smell. All the bones, leftover food, eggshells, coffee grounds and such…just begin to stink within a few days. I know, we could empty it every night but it seems wrong to bring a 12 gallon trash bag out to the can with 12oz of garbage in it.
We started reusing gallon ziplock bags, coffee cans, empty jars, etc and put all the garbage in those. We can close it up, toss it in the kitchen trashcan and, voila! no smell.
How old is that salsa?
Ever reach back into the far recess of the 'fridge for that half-empty jar of pasta sauce and wonder; "How long has this been here? Is it still good?"
I did, and I did it a lot. So I started writing the dates we open stuff on the lid before it disappears behind the milk. Now, we know exactly when we opened it..and can better gauge whether it's okay to use or toss.
Wrinkles be gone.
When we remodeled our laundry room, we lost a really convenient place to hang clothes. So we improvised. We hung a towel rack from the ceiling. We keep hangers there and now, when something needs to be hung up right from the washer or dryer, we have a handy, out of the way place to put them. It's behind the door so even with a week's worth of scrubs and polo shirts hanging, it's still out of the way (in a pretty small room).
So, that's the limit to my creative life hacks. They work for me…make my life easier. Maybe, they'll work for you. Do you have life hacks to share? Write a comment below…

Yum! Yum! Yum! I hope you don't read this review on an empty stomach. I got this box of brownie mix and wasn't too sure how it would be. This Enjoy Life brownie mix has no artificial anything...gluten free, nut free, dairy free, egg free, etc, etc, etc.! In my mind, I was thinking very healthy brownie so it can't possibly be good. I was so, so wrong. I mixed it up and it looked delicious. I made my brownies in my muffin cups just because it's easy to pack them in Aiden's lunchbox. They smelled amazing while they were baking and I couldn't wait to get them out of the oven. They were really, really good. Aiden also liked them. You would never know that these brownies weren't bad for you. I decided to take them to school for my after school kids as a special treat. In that group of children, I have one that is dairy free and one that is gluten free. They were so excited when I told them I had brownies and they were safe for everyone. My sweet little girl who is gluten free couldn't wait to tell her Mom that I made gluten free brownies for her and her Mom was so excited that I had a brownie mix that was safe for her daughter and tasted good at the same time. She says she has so much trouble finding gluten free things that taste good too so she will definitely be checking out the products that Enjoy Life has. I'm so excited that there are products out there that I can make for my family that aren't full of all the bad stuff. Thank you Enjoy Life!
Delicious looking brownie!
Very easy to make
No artificial anything.
Can't wait until these are finished baking!
They are delicious.

DESTIN -- Firefighters returning from the scene of a fatal wreck were called to extinguish a fire that started in the back of a garbage truck.
Destin Fire Control District got the call about the fire in the Waste Management truck just after 7 a.m. Tuesday.
The truck dumped its load in the road near the intersection of Benning Drive and Monique Court.
"Half of it was burning when I got there," said Destin Fire Battalion Chief Bronson Coleman. "No one was hurt."
After fire crews put out the fire, Waste Management called out crews to clean up the road.

WASHINGTON — Aides to Republican lawmakers said Wednesday they are reviewing a 2003 trip to Ireland to determine if a lobbyist paid for it — as congressional records indicate.
Other political news of note
Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
House Speaker John Boehner became animated Tuesday over the proposed Keystone Pipeline, castigating the Obama administration for not having approved the project yet.
- Budget deficits shrinking but set to grow after 2015
- Senate readies another volley on unemployment aid
- Obama faces Syria standstill
- Fluke files to run in California
- Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
If the records are accurate, the trip by Sen. Gordon Smith of Oregon, former Sen. Don Nickles of Oklahoma and Reps. Howard Coble of North Carolina, Harold Rogers of Kentucky and Clay Shaw of Florida violated ethics rules that bar lobbying firms from paying for trips taken by members of Congress.
"If there was a problem with the paperwork, we'll fix it promptly," said Chris Matthews, a spokesman for Smith.
"We are trying to obtain documentation of who paid so we can go back and review this with the ethics committee," said Ed McDonald, Coble's chief of staff.
Rogers' spokeswoman Leslie Cupp said the office planned to file an amended report. "We are looking into the situation and believe this is nothing more than a clerical error," Cupp said.
The Hill, a newspaper that covers Capitol Hill, reported Wednesday that the five GOP lawmakers traveled to Ireland at the expense of a Washington lobbying firm, Kessler & Associates Business Services Inc.
The trip, a four-day international trade seminar at Ashford Castle in Ireland's County Mayo, took place in August 2003, the newspaper said.
Lobbying firm paid $25,000 bill
Disclosure reports for the five lawmakers show that Kessler & Associates footed the $25,000 bill, even though congressional ethics guidelines bar lobbying firms from paying for lawmakers' travel.
Matthews and McDonald said Wednesday it was not clear whether the firm, headed by veteran lobbyist Richard Kessler, in fact paid for the trip, or whether it was paid for by its parent company.
Ethics guidelines allow companies, trade groups and nonprofit organizations — but not lobbyists or lobbying firms — to sponsor travel by members of Congress.
Coble's office listed Kessler Associates as the trip's sponsor on House disclosure forms, said McDonald, who was not on Coble's staff at the time the trip occurred.
But McDonald said Kessler told him earlier this week that the firm's parent company, Century Business Services Inc., a Cleveland-based accounting and consulting firm, had actually sponsored the trip.
A spokeswoman for Shaw, Gail Gitcho, said Shaw's office would likely amend his disclosure report to list Century Business Services as the sponsor. "We are still looking into it," Gitcho said. "We are gathering further documentation."
A woman who answered the phone at Kessler's Capitol Hill office on Wednesday declined to comment.

A net of shadows begins to tighten around the Shadowhunters of the London Institute. Mortmain plans to use his Infernal Devices, an army of pitiless automatons, to destroy the Shadowhunters. He needs only one last item to complete his plan: he needs Tessa Gray.
Charlotte Branwell, head of the London Institute, is desperate to find Mortmain before he strikes. But when Mortmain abducts Tessa, the boys who lay equal claim to her heart, Jem and Will, will do anything to save her. For though Tessa and Jem are now engaged, Will is as much in love with her as ever.
As those who love Tessa rally to rescue her from Mortmain's clutches, Tessa realizes that the only person who can save her is herself. But can a single girl, even one who can command the power of angels, face down an entire army?
Danger and betrayal, secrets and enchantment, and the tangled threads of love and loss intertwine as the Shadowhunters are pushed to the very brink of destruction in the breathtaking conclusion to the Infernal Devices trilogy
I have been debating whether or not I was going to write a full review. After one of the longest audios I have listened to, I really don't have that much to say about the ending to this series and most of what happened in this installment. Save for the epilogue.
Years ago, when I discovered Cassandra Clare, before the movie, the hype and all the drama that seems to surround her wherever she goes, I was in love with her writing. There weren't many authors (at the time) with similar prose and I loved how detailed everything was. Sadly, 4 years later, I find it rather old. Sorry folks, there is such a thing as too much detail.
I could be wrong, but I think this is one of the longest ones she has written. Not only that, I felt like there wasn't a whole lot going on for at least HALF of the book. I know with the ending to a series, there is a lot to be wrapped up, but holy batman. The last "fight scene" was on disc 10. Of 13. That means I had at least 2 hours left before the ending. Adding to the length were the letters and quotes, which I probably wouldn't have loved them had I READ Clockwork Princess, because Daniel (the narrator) was by far the best narrator that I have had the pleasure to listen to, hands down. But I digress.
After sitting back and really thinking about all the events and characters, the secondary characters made this book for me too. Sophie & Gideon, Cecily & Gabriel, Charlotte, Henry and of course, Magnus. It's not that I didn't enjoy Tessa, Jem & Will, but I was tired of them. I was tired of the whining, the "pain" and all that. I was just ready for their drama to wrap up and get on with everything. More on that later.
We finally figure out what Tessa is. Pretty interesting, if I do say so myself. I can't help but wrack my brain for any other details that might have been mentioned in TMI but I can't find any. Also, one of my favorite things about this series is that we get to see where everything came from. Like the necklace, Church, Jace's star and Magnus initial draw to Alec… etc. But I can't help but see so many similarities between all the charters to those in TMI. Really, if feels like she just took their bios and changed their names.
Now, for that epilogue. The main reason I loved it? Because I loved the summary of everything that happened. As most of you know, it took place in 2008– and "seeing" everyone's life wrapped up over that period of time was awesome. I admit, it was long as hell, but this one was of those times I appreciate all her details and such. There are a few things I really upset me about the ending though. Honestly, could she have figured out a more "perfect" way to end it!? Well freakin played, Clare, well-played. Another thing– and I may be looking too much into it– View Spoiler » freaking JEM y'all. I called that, BTW just ask Dani « Hide Spoiler tells me in so many words at how the ending of TMI might play out. View Spoiler » because it was obvious the epilogue as after the events of TMI. It has to be. « Hide Spoiler So, that was a little frustrating.
My Peeve- Words. There were too many words and nothing going on. At least, that's how I felt. Of course, the ending too, because I felt that was too perfect, (if you know what I mean…..)
Overall- In a nutshell, I enjoyed it. I enjoyed the all the sub-plots and secondary characters more than the main, though. I'm glad to see this chapter of the Shadow Hunters come to a close. I didn't love this series as a whole as much as TMI, but it was good overall. Do I recommend it? Doesn't matter because those that love ID and/or TMI will read it anyway. 😉

My Project has grown a lot now, we are officially going to support C, C++, python3, JS, CSS and JAVA with our generic algorithms, though they'll still be experimental owing to the nature of the bears.
The past two weeks were heavily concentrating on refactoring algorithms of the AnnotationBear and IndentationBear, the IndentationBear received only small fixes while the AnnotationBear had to undergo a change in the algorithm, the new and improved algorithm also adds the feature of distinguishing between single-line and multi-line strings while earlier there were just strings.
The IndentationBear is almost close to completion barring basic things like:
- It still messes up your doc strings/ multi-line strings.
- Still no support for keyword indents.
the next weeks efforts will go into introducing various indentation styles into the bear and fixing these issues, before we move on to the LineBreakBear and the FormatCodeBear.

Working/conference paper: The value of schooling in traditional sectors, with special reference to Indian fisheries
Posted by Adam Jadhav | Filed under india
Because I'm being slow in getting this in a better state for publication, I'm posting it here now. Trying to light a fire, as it were.
This paper was presented at the symposium Understanding and Eradicating Poverty in South Asia: Lessons and Options at the University of Rajasthan (Jaipur, India, Oct. 17, 2013). This remains in a draft format; please contact me before citing.
ABSTRACT: The international community has enshrined formal education as one of the key tools necessary to alleviate poverty, on par with ending hunger and fighting disease. In addition, education is often considered a key component of the "modern" geographic, demographic and economic transition off the land, out of the village and into wage jobs in cities. But what does education mean within the rural or traditional economy? What does education mean for the legions of villagers who remain poor farmers and fishers in developing countries such as India? This paper examines the relationship between education and poverty theoretically and empirically in traditional economic sectors. First, the paper sketches an outline of neoclassical economic growth theory, with specific attention to the basic Cobb-Douglas production function. Next, the paper reviews literature on the economic returns to education or human capital, with special attention to traditional sectors when possible. Finally, the paper conducts a quantitative analysis of marine fishery census data from India, testing the empirical relationship between poverty and education within a traditional sector.
The paper ultimately finds evidence to support the idea of returns to education even within India's coastal fishery economies; in other words, education need not simply be a ticket out of the village. In line with much development literature, female education may have an inverse relationship to poverty stronger than male education. Furthermore, the effect of education can rival that of mechanized capital, often thought to be the key to improving poverty among fishers. However, the results may be attenuated both by the structure of the economy as well as socio-political institutions. Finally, the findings have a spatial quality to them. Some relationships shift when controlling for the fixed or unobserved effects of place, and the effects of education are not uniform across geographies. Taken together, these findings suggest the need for education that is locally tailored, decentralized and relevant specifically for traditional economies.

These two swans remind me of Aonghus and his beloved Caer Iobharmheith (Yew Berry).
For those who celebrate, have a happy festival!
April 21st has a number of interesting events and rituals associated with it. Some time around this date in the year 125CE the emperor Hadrian went on a bear hunt in Greece (note, I don't suggest that hunting bears is something that should be done these days or is ethical in our overpopulated world). He offered the bearskin at a temple in Thespiae to the goddess Aphrodite Ourania, (and her son Eros), the aspect of the goddess who presided over homoerotic love. He offered this inscription to her and her son (translation by P. Sufenas Virius Lupus):
To Eros the Archer-son of the sweet tongued Cyprian
dwelling at Heliconian Thespiae
besides Narcissus' flowering garden:
I say be gracious, grant acceptance
of the best parts of this bear from Hadrian,
the very one killed by a blow from horseback.
Thou, of Thy own accord, in return for this, may kharis soberly
be breathed on him by Aphrodite-Urania.
Of course the prayer was eventually filled with the arrival of Antinous. I mark/celebrate this as a beginning of their love, even if this was purely conceptual on Hadrian's at this point. The day is also called the Erotikon.
The Ekklesia Antinoou marks this day as the celebration of the Megala Antinoeia which manifest today in a contest of poems stories, artworks, and so on and some kind of physical activity, as the original Sacred Games of Antinous initiated by the grieving emperor in 131CE consisted of various athletic competitions as well as artistic and theatrical ones. Check out the Aedicula Antinoi for more about this. https://aediculaantinoi.wordpress.com/2015/04/21/megala-antinoeia-2015-post-andor-link-here/
Hadrian also moved the festival of the Veneralia, the feast of Venus to this date when he opened the Temple of Venus & Roma Aeterna. A poem I wrote a few years ago is here shared:
"Venus Felix and Roma"
Hadrian set Venus to face the bloody
Coliseum, reinscribing martial Rome with amor,
Which, as the emperor via his temple
Architecturally ordained, is Roma backwards.
The temple where the two goddesses sat back to back
Was built on the site of Nero's
Golden House and leaden crimes.
The shimmering green goddess,
The alluring one, cast her spell upon the city,
Backed by her sister; the cavalcade of history
Broke over the metropolis—churches and columns
Commingled, promiscuous in baroque subversions,
Bedecking a city no longer of empire but
Of La dolce vita, Fellini's carnival.
O Venus Felix, your power, your seduction
Still washes over the city in perfumed waves,
Spins desire in elegance and glamour,
From the Spanish Steps to the Pincio, from
Santa Francesca Romana* to Castel Sant' Angelo.
*The church of Santa Francesca Romana was built on the site of the temple.
Of further note, this is the traditional birthday of Numa Pompilius the wise king and giver of the sacred laws to the young city of Rome, the peaceful lawgiver who succeeded the warring sovereign Romulus (and said to be the birthday of the city itself). Dumezil saw these as the two sides of sovereignty in Religio Romana, the terrible magical sovereign and the reasoned juridical legislator, with the penchant for historicizing mythology in that culture. Too bad that Rome was not more often governed by wise and just leaders like Numa and Hadrian. Hail the love of Hadrian and Antinous!
Photos are mine (mostly of remnants of the Pan-Pacific world fair of 1915, San Francisco), except the Antinous one from Wiki.
I love Herakleitos. Here are some quotes.*
Fragment 5: Our understanding of the greatest matters will never be complete.
57: Many people learn nothing from what they see and experience, nor do they understand what they hear explained, but imagine that they have.
61: Men are not intelligent, the gods are intelligent.
63: The gods presence in the world goes unnoticed by men who do not believe in the gods.
72: Fire catches up with everything, in time.
74: There are gods here too.
79: There is a madness in the Sybill's voice, her words are gloomy, ugly, and rough, but they are true for a thousand years, because a god speaks through her.
*From Guy Davenport's translations in 7 Greeks (New Directions).
Hospitality can, at times, be a complex thing. It does lie at the core of our tradition. With the knowledge that we have in the 21st century of interrelationships of all life I think we should be able to recognize that we are guests on this planet ourselves. We are part of it but we have a limited time span. We should strive to understand better these interrelationships and do the deeds that each of us will feel compelled to do (which can obviously very widely). Maybe we will find we have certain geasa.
But on a more microcosmic level what about with our fellow humans? If we live in a republic, then surely that includes our fellow citizens (a word that seems kind of radical at this point in time, when powerful forces constantly insist we are simply consumers, which implies we are not in relationship at all).
Media forces, power forces in this particular republic (US) work to obscure for white people (as I am socially constructed) that many Americans experience life with much less privilege. The last few years images and incidents of police violence, what are 'extra-judicial killings' of young men of color, especially African-American and Latino, Trayvon Martin, Oscar Grant, Mike Brown, and the recent slaughter of Walter Scott, have broken through carefully attended facade for some. And yet for millions of whites complacency remains intact.
A month ago I found myself at an event where extended family, people I would consider rather distant relatives from geographically far off places (Midwest, South) had all assembled to celebrate my mother's life. I found myself in the awkward situation of to some degree being a guest, as two of these relatives wanted us to stay in their place (which I was not comfortable doing in the first place). One morning I found myself having a bit of breakfast and coffee at the dining table with some of these relatives whom I don't actually know and obviously perceived the world very very differently than I do. Suddenly disturbing remarks were being made. The key word was Ferguson. Outwardly, I stayed calm (something I wouldn't have managed when I was young) and challenged the racist statements. I wish I'd done more like delivered a coherent lecture. At any rate the dictates of truth and justice overrode any specific law of immediate hospitality. I know some people won't say anything in such situations; I think it is crucial that we do so. I think of the Druid revival phrase 'The Truth Against the World', in this case the world shaped by institutional racism. If truth is in our hearts, it must find fulfillment in our tongues (as the fianna Caílte once told St. Patrick).
The killing of the world begins with an assault on the imagination. Across the planet the invaders from England, France, Holland, Spain spread, bearing guns and crucifixes, germs and fires, figurative and literal. New techniques of organization to regularize 'things', one way to order the numinous imposed on multitudes, one grand story of one sacrificed god, whose revelation had happened long ago, and the channels were not open for more. Missions, burnings of books—think the burning of the Aztec and Maya codices, erasures of ancient ways, and back at home, the reformations and the counter reformation to do the same to those who'd remained somewhat outside the bounds, outside the pale (the 'pale' being the area of Ireland under direct English control).
Today it's carried out by Hollywood, by game designers, by the manufactures of America's heavily processed landscapes, its simulations of nature, and of course the digitalization of everything. The steamrolling of mythologies into franchises, the proliferation of non-spaces like those of resorts, airports, malls, parking lots, convention hotels, business parks and tech 'campuses' and all the other 'de-placed' spaces. People would rather play Candy Krush on their phones than look at each other or their actual environment. Likely that the ugliness of so much of the man made environment creates its own feedback loop.
Recently a family reunion brought me into one of those non-places. A rich cousin whom I hadn't seen since I was a little kid put us up in what was an obviously expensive but generic resort in Hawaii. I've long decried the massive development on what once were lava beds in a desert microclimate; golf courses and hotels and expensive condos distributed in a sprawl creep like mold over this one pristine coast. The first night I sat outside my room, opening myself up to the land, and I felt a terrible sadness, the intense suffering of the spirits of this place that had been essentially de-placed. Instead of vitality there was a listlessness. The next day my partner and I walked for quite a ways along the coast, walls and keep off signs in abundance; there, I felt the anger of the local spirits. I stopped and offered prayer, not knowing what else to do. The powerful ocean lapped against the shore of this tourist sacrifice zone.
The next morning we walked out of this enclosure and into a tangled wood of tough kiawe trees (a wickedly spiny mesquite, Prosopis pallida, originally brought from the desert coast of South America, nearly 200 years ago, which have claimed the arid coast to a degree where they seem native). Another world still prevails here, tough and shrouded, and elemental. The sky was wet, and soft droplets of rain fell. Out here are petroglyphs, an ancient 'script', a writing on the land by a people who saw themselves as part of it. Rough lava rocks and thorny branches clawed at our shoes. And then an opening, a flow of lava that seemed also an enclosure, but another sort, a sacred set aside—inscribed with this language that I cannot read but opens me up to awe. My own skin absorbed something mysterious from this field of inscribed black rock, as I breathed in the warm air, air moistened with the rain drops of Pele's island, literally enchanted.
The Imagination is a resource that humans cannot really live without, not as free beings worthy of the gods, at any rate. The Imagination connects us with that which is beyond, and with deeper relationships with the rest of life. Finally, I would say a democratic society cannot live without its citizens' imagination. Late capitalism replaces everything with an ersatz inauthentic way of life. And we will require the unfettered imagination to get out of its erasures.

I think they nominated designs that had a historical context. It is a narrow market but does exist.

My Review for Marie's World:
Joe E. Legend and Kristal McKerrington's "Marie's World" and "Marie's World: The Aftermath" are the first two books in the Marie's World series. It's a story about the dancing and professional wrestling worlds. There is an ensemble cast, and they do a good job introducing one character at a time so you can keep track of everyone. Each new detail is presented in turn, spiraling back, so you know more and more about each person. At times it has the feel of a WWE storyline and at other times it's a sophisticated dance. A true mix of dance and wrestling! I didn't want it to end, and maybe it hasn't!

There's nothing better than turning a hot tub into a time machine. Unless of coarse you add the number two.
At first I was hesitant to see the movie because there's no John Cusack. But then I thought, maybe they're just giving us a Darin switch. Like in Bewitched, gloss over John Cusack even existed. But in Hot Tub Time Machine 2 they decide to introduce John Cusak's son. So I spent half of the movie thinking, who invited this idiot. I'm pretty sure no one asked for Cusack lite.
The big question is did Hot Tub Time Machine jump the shark. With this sequel it's more like they jumped the sharknado.
The goal of the movie is to figure out who shot Lou. And I only know this because they mentioned it like thirty times. But it seemed like every time they got close to solving the murder, it was time for another scene about dudes junk.
I still love the fact that the characters repeatedly mess up the space-time continuum. Steven Hawking is probably like, "I know the theory of everything, but I still can't figure out how they time travel using a hot tub."
The funny thing is when I looked up Hot Tub Time Machine 2, I got an ad for an actual hot tub. At first I was annoyed, but the more I thought about it I realized I could really go for a good soak. Never underestimate the power of Google.
Next week I try to sit through Never Lose Focus – the new Will Smith movie.
