Arf Forum edited by Craig Yoe
The third of the four Arf books was Arf Forum, from 2007. For some reason, it's the one that stuck on my find-this-and-read-it list, and so it was the one I'd been vaguely looking for. (With the even vaguer intention of figuring out the rest of the series and reading those if I liked it.)
Well, I have access to the vast holdings of the New York Public Library these days, since I work less than a block from the Grand Central branch. And I've gotten used to reserving library materials online over the past few years, because who doesn't like asking for free stuff and having it held for you?
So, yadda yadda yadda, I finally found and read Arf Forum. And it's a goofier, more idiosyncratic thing than I expected. I don't want to generalize about the other three books -- well, OK, I do, and my sense is that I can, so I will -- but this seems to be Yoe following his own very specific artistic loves, inspirations, and oddball ideas down some very quirky avenues to pull together a hundred and twenty big pages of reprint comics and new writing about comics, plus some aggressively artsy illustrations to tie it all together.
So this particular volume, the one I actually have in front of me, starts off with over twenty pre-Table of Contents pages of people reading comics: some photos (one of Elvis!), a bunch of strips, and a short comics story written by Stan Lee in the '50s. Just when the reader thinks this is going to be an artsy collage kind of thing, full of found images and loose themes, that ToC hits, and it becomes a more conventional magazine-type assemblage. Yoe leads off with an appreciation of Bill "Smokey Stover" Hollman. Then there's a short piece on Yoe by Stan Lee, and then mostly Yoe-written short bits on cavemen in comics, fine artist Max Ernst, the obscure funny animal character Harry Hotdog, the even more obscure cover painter William Ekgren, cartoonist Ted Scheel, cartoons about hell, and Italian cute-girl cartoonist Kremos. All of those are illustrated, generally with works by the people discussed, and in some cases with a new "portrait" of the artist by a contemporary artist in usually a very jarring style.
It's scattershot, unfocused, and seemingly random, like rummaging through the overstuffed attic of the least organized Museum of Comics imaginable. It's fun in its manic energy, but it's definitely a tour of Yoe's specific artistic/comic interests and obsessions, and will be of interest to other people almost entirely based on how closely one's own interests match up with Yoe's. Mine only loosely follow that pattern. But, after a decade, I finally found and read it, so I mark it up as a win.

Scottish Businesses Targeted in Groundbreaking Crime Survey
Tuesday, July 9th, 2013
on behalf of Scottish Business Resilience Centre
Businesses are being urged to take part in a groundbreaking survey that will measure the true impact of crime on Scottish firms.
The survey is the first of its kind and will help Scottish Government, Police, Fire and the Scottish Business Resilience Centre gather vital intelligence about the extent of crime affecting Scotland's businesses – and to ensure the correct resources are being deployed to address the threat.
It has been launched by the Scottish Business Resilience Centre itself (SBRC), whose remit is Create a Secure Scotland for Business To Flourish In.
The Scottish Business Crime Survey 2013 aims to collate a baseline figure of the true extent of business crime in Scotland by asking thousands of businesses to recount their own experiences, from vandalism to card fraud. It caters for a range of business sectors regardless of size or location.
Sean Davidson, Business Analyst for the Scottish Business Resilience Centre, who is leading the project, fears many low-level crimes go unreported by businesses because doing so would cost them time and money.
Sean said: "This survey will provide a massive boost in the fight against business crime.
"We are interested in any crimes that affect any businesses in Scotland, whether they be small, medium or large.
"We want to know about all types of crime from shoplifting, robbery and theft, to assaults on staff and electronic crime.
"We know these things happen, but currently we don't know the full extent because not every single crime gets reported to the police.
"Businesses tend not to report some crimes to the police, such as the theft of low-value items because they might not see it as worth their while or think that the police might not be interested. This isn't the case.
"But if we can get a true picture of the scale and intensity of crime affecting Scottish businesses we can look to provide the direct help that can start to make a difference.
"For example we can create staff training packages, work with partners to develop anti-crime strategies or we can alert businesses to particular scams along with how to avoid these.
"This kind of support can be crucial to help business remain on a sound footing and reduce their risk to a number of threats so that they are better able to compete locally, nationally and internationally."
All Scottish-based businesses, from sole traders to large corporations across all sectors, are being urged to take part and have their say on how crime affects them.
The online questionnaire is anonymous and takes just five minutes to complete.
Businesses can take part in the survey by visiting https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/BusinessCrimeSurvey

New: Mary J. Blige & Beyonce - "Love A Woman"
In fierce R&B ladies news, reigning queen of diva-dom Mary J. Blige has enlisted her heir apparent Beyonce Knowles to join her on a track about – you guessed it – no-good men.
"Love A Woman," our latest taste from MJB's upcoming My Life II: The Journey Continues, features both ladies admonishing all those gentlemen out there who claim they know how to love a woman – "there's still some things you need to know!"
You shouldn't be surprised by the awesome vocal performances both bring to the table ("awesome vocal performances" might as well be both Beyonce and Mary's middle names), but we love their harmonizing, effortless and seamless switch-off of verses, and that retro beat. Check it out.

Once 15G is filed can it be cancelled?
Centralized Processing Cell (TDS) has observed from its records that Flag "B" (for 15G/H Forms) has been wrongly raised in the quarterly TDS Statements as per the provisions of section 197A(1B) of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Following are the provisions of section 197A(1B) for your ready reference:
"The provisions of this section shall not apply where the amount of any income of the nature referred to in sub-section (1) or sub-section (1A), as the case may be, or the aggregate of the amounts of such incomes credited or paid or likely to be credited or paid during the previous year in which such income is to be included exceeds the maximum amount which is not chargeable to income-tax".
What is Form 15G/ H and its relevance :
Consequences, if deductor wrongly raises Flag "B" for Forms 15G/H :
Once 15G is filed can it be cancelled?
1. In case of senior citizen excluding the interest and taxable income estimate is less than taxable income, can give Form 15H as the interest of the FD is not guarenteed until it runs for the whole or part of the year to have any income. One has the option to close it at any time. However he shuld pay the advance tax, prefarably at least once in a quarter based on the actual interest income and ensure tax compliance.
2. Cancellation of 15G/H is by a simple application to the bank asking it to deduct TDS with immediate effect. In case of non compliance by the bank/s, to pay advance tax in time and ensure tax compliance.
3. Shares and mutual funds are taxable and only dividend is tax free. Four types of taxes are possible depending upon, short term/long term with or without STT.
am a senior citizen& have invested Rs 1 lac u/s 80c, thus interest income upto Rs 350000 are tax free.If I pay tax on total income exceeding Rs 350000 as advance/self assessment tax. Wheather submission of FORM 15H is justified?
Dear SIVARAMAN VISWANATHAN
the Words used in Section 197A(1C) and 197A(1) are estimated total income and not total estimated income. Estimated total income shall be estimated after giving benefits of deductions under various provisions of the Act. so effectively it will be estimated taxable income.
can you put this in simpler words please? "Under section 197A of the Income Tax Act 1961, Form 15G / H is a self-declaration, which is provided by a person resident in India (not being a Company or Firm) to their deductor that the tax on his estimated total income of the previous year, in which such income is to be included in computing his total income, will be NIL."
Form 15H is n enigma to me
Can somebody explain the purport of Schedules I, II, IV and V. Income from shares and Mutual Funds are not taxable in the hands of the investor. Why then am I asked to list "Details of shares which stand in the name of the declarant(sic) and beneficially owned by him"' The details asked for include distinctive number of shares, which in the present d mat world is not available
Suppose I have deposits with three different Banks and receive interest from all the three of them more than the stipulated Rs. 10,000.00 have I to report such income to ALL the Banks, under schedule III listing in each case my deposits with the other two Banks? Does this not tantamount to making public my financial position to the other Banks and their employees?
Schedule V is OK, It is not applicable to me in any case.
It is observed from the wording of the Form 15H that it only states that tax on my estimated total income will be nil. Now the question is whether wording 'total income' is to be construed as 'total gross income' or 'total taxable income'.
As for a senior citizen who has made investment in 80C, Rs 350000
are tax-free. If he pays tax on total interest exceeding this amount in the form of advance tax/ self-assessment tax, then will not the tax deductible at source(bank) be nil and the verificaton statement in 15H justifiable ?
Pls inform how i can recall or cancel the Form 15H submitted after realising that i have erred in submitting the same
Form-15G/15H can not be given if the "total estimated income" and not "estimated taxable income" Please see subsec(1A) & (1B) of section 197A.
Hence for a sr citizen if the TOTAL income (not the taxable income after 80C dedution)is more than 250.000 the TDS is deductible. Further the person who gives false declaration can be penalized Rs.100,000 or even 6 month in jail.
If the total interest paid (say 3,50,000/-) to a senior citizen by a bank exceeds exempted taxable income ie 2,50,000/- his tax on the income will be NIL if he invests 1,00,000/- under Section 80C of the It Act. In such circumstances how it will be not in order for a bank to raise Flag"B"?
For 15H there is no binding that interest should be less than Rs2.50 Lac for senior citizens as he may invest in 80C and can save tax even if the total interest is more than Rs2.50 lac. Please clarify.

Legs Diamond – Town Bad Girl (1990, Metal Blade)
- Town Bad Girl
- City Streets
- Stage Fright
- World On Fire
- Can't Get You (Out Of My Mind)
- Never Enough Time
- Look In Her Eyes
- Pain Killer
- Cry No More
- I Am For You
- She Did It For Love
- Nervous
- Heaven Or Hell
Band Lineup:
Rick Sanford – Lead Vocals
Roger Romeo – Lead Guitar
Michael Prince – Keyboards, Rhythm Guitar
Dusty Watson – Drums
Mike Christie – Bass
Total Time – 57:40
The only things I knew about Legs Diamond before I picked up this album was that they were a Hard Rock band that started in the 1970s and that their albums were supposedly pretty good. Through some research, I noticed that TOWN BAD GIRL was out of print and going for decent dollars on Ebay. I was able to acquire this album for around $25 at auction.
This album is a fine slice of Hard Rock in 1990, probably one of the better albums released that no one really knows about. You've got good performances by all the musicians and the instruments compliment each other without taking over. For the most part, the keyboards compliment and work with the guitars and the rhythm section holds it tight. This is obviously an experienced band that has mastered their craft over the years.
What is most striking is singer Rick Sanford's voice. There is a familiarity to it, you've heard it before and it's good. Comparisons to Mark Slaughter (Vinnie Vincent Invasion/Slaughter), Tony Harnell (TNT), Stephen Pearcy (Ratt), Axl Rose (GnR) and Vince Neil (Motley Crue) can be made but I would roll them all into one as Sanford sounds like one or the other as the songs change. Sometimes he sounds like more than one: on 'Stage Fright' he sounds like a Slaughter/Harnell combo. Sanford has a great voice for '80s Hard Rock.
The first four songs are excellent, very solid. 'Town Bad Girl' and 'City Streets' remind me of Def Leppard meets Ratt with the big gang vocals on the chorus. Both excellent uptempo rockers that grab the listener and immeadiately sucks them in. 'Stage Fright' is actually a cover of themselves, the original located on the first Legs offering in 1977. I've never heard the original but the updated version smokes. 'World On Fire' has a little more keyboard but it is another solid Rock song.
This album starts to lose steam as it progresses. The first four songs make such a good first impression and then some filler creeps in. 'Can't Get You (Out Of My Mind)' is decent but I've heard it all before, more filler than meat. 'Never Enough Time' is the first ballad of the record, not sure how this missed radio in 1990 but it would have sat well alongside ballads of the time. My favorite song of the album is 'Look In Her Eyes', this should have been a big hit. Nice riff and complementing keys with Sanford's vocal grit, and I really like the guitar solo. It's the chorus that hooks you in and makes you want to sing along.
'Pain Killer' is a mid-tempo rocker that has some groove but it's ruined by the keyboards. Sounds like a Ratt song. It has that dirty, gritty stomp but the power is deflated with frilly keys, take them away and it's a great song. Good solo though. Another keyboard heavy song is 'Cry No More'. More AOR/Pop Rock, something I could see John Waite singing in Bad English. All is forgiven when the opening guitar to 'I Am For You' kicks in. It's similar to 'Look In Her Eyes' and sounds like something Tony Harnell would have had on a TNT record. It's aimed directly at Rock Radio in 1990 and it was the first single and video.
The keyboard intro to 'She Did It For Love' just ruins the song for me. It's a decent song but I can't get by the synth. There is some good guitar and a decent Ratt-like groove but it sounds watered down. 'Nervous' kicks the album back into high gear with arguably the fastest, and hardest, song on the record. Sanford does a great Axl Rose/Mark Slaughter combo and the guitars are blistering. Should be located at the top of the tracklisting instead of being buried after the filler. 'Heaven And Hell' has a KISS vibe, sounds like a Gene Simmons penned tune from ASYLUM or CRAZY NIGHTS. The gang chorus is a little weak but the song holds up.
Bottom Line:
Overall, a solid Hard Rock album with some great songs and some top performances. There is some filler and there are some songs that have some overbearing keyboards but the overall feel and sound of the album is really solid. How this band didn't do well is beyond me because they are very good. This album has me looking into the rest of the Legs Diamond catalogue. Favorite tracks: ' Look In Her eyes', 'Town Bad Girl', 'City Streets', 'I Am For You', and 'World On Fire'.

With these ground-breaking FAA rules solidified, ICON believes that consumer-focused sport aircraft can do for recreational flying what personal watercraft did for boating.
ICON's sport aircraft are not only designed to deliver an amazing and safe flying experience, but also to inspire us the way great sports cars do.

The A5 is a bold yet elegant design that communicates beauty, performance, safety, and most importantly… fun.
The ICON engineering team worked in sync with external, automotive designers over a period of several design phases to perfect the consumer-oriented design. The first phase was completed in-house. The second phase involved numerous designers from some of the world's top car brands, including BMW, Porsche, Rolls Royce, and others. The final detailed phase was completed by Nissan's renowned advanced design studio, creator of the award-winning 350Z sports car. Troy Lee Designs, the leader in motorsports racing design, applied final aesthetic touches and graphics.

China's Position in Global Value Chains Compared with the EU, U.S. and Japan
Lai Weijuan (赖伟娟) and Zhong Zihua(钟姿华)
School of Economics and Commerce, South China University of Technology, Guangzhou, China
Abstract: By creating a five-country I-O model of China, EU, US, Japan and other
countries, this paper decomposes gross export into nine parts and investigates the GVC
positions and competitiveness of China and the other three economies for different sectors
using real domestic trade in value-added and GVC position indices. In addition, valueadded
trade is taken into consideration to identify the labor division characteristics of
the four economies in the GVC, which led to the following findings: China participates
primarily in the single links of the GVC at the downstream yet shows a significant tendency
to move upstream in technology-intensive sectors; Japan participates primarily in the single
links of the GVC at the upstream and boasts an advantage in technology-intensive sectors;
the US participates in the multiple links of the GVC at the upstream with superiority in hightechnology
sectors; the EU participates in the production and export of intermediate goods
and final goods at both ends.

When one neuron in our brains has the capacity to produce thousand connections with other neurons, the amount of possible connections is more than the universe has atoms. As you can imagine, in this complexity the self-awareness cannot be too simplistic to be expressed as being composed of only one factor, but from many.
1. What is self-awareness? Self-awareness is commonly perceived as something that is separate from the thoughts that emerge to our mind, and it is the area of our being we reflect to the set personal standards. These standards can be religious, the standards of the society, or expectations we have created for ourselves. The self-awareness is also characterized as the experience of our continual being in constantly exceeding present time, for which mastery philosopher Eckhart Tolle founded his guide book to life, The Power of Now.
2. What is representational self-awareness? We have the tendency to reflect our own being with such representations as what we consider as heroic or what we admire, and it is useful to identify Self with good characteristics when we are still growing, since they are then more probable to grow. Howard Bloom, for instance, who has been compared with Einstein, Newton, Hawkins, and Buckminster Fuller, said that one of the reasons for his genius is in that he held various intellectual giants as his role models, causing him to imitate, or in his words, ape their behavior as he considered them as the A-packs, all non alpha males or females imitate to become alpha males or females themselves. These reflections can however cause anxiety because the person identifies himself or herself with negative self-reflections, perceiving representational images that are far from being pleasant. If such a state becomes chronic, it is learned behavior, from which one must re-learn away. We can also be self-aware in fantasized content and live through fantasized roles in life, identify our self with fantasized beings, or identify our self with the fantasized character that has existence only in our representational realm, similar to dreaming. Thus as a summary of the representational self-awareness is that we reflect our own self with representations, also in different realisms.
3. What is emotional self-awareness? There is not a moment when we would not feel any kind of emotion, appearing also in such forms as instinctively sensing that something is good, or that there is something wrong, and also in the form of desires we often base our choices. Being self-aware of emotions intensifies the experience of them, when in contrast if we are in the state when time seems to pass rapidly, focused for example to writing, we are less self-aware of our emotions as our attention is directed elsewhere. The emotions also tell us when everything runs smoothly as they should, or may experience that we are conflicted with something, thus causing us to settle or solve matters between others or with the environment in that we for example redecorate our houses when they do not meet our own standards. Emotions and instincts are also something we should trust our choices upon, despite the modern tendency to say that the rational decisions are the best decisions. The rational decisions have their time and place, but the capacity of the sub-consciousness can be compared with a standard late 20th century computer and a modern supercomputer in processing capacity. Being too self-aware of one's own emotions can also intensify the negative emotions, causing a vicious circle of intensifying anxiety, leading to anxiety attacks.
4. What is semantic self-awareness? Semantic can be defined in simple terms as a meaning of something, and thus we can become self-aware of what we are by giving ourselves a variety different meanings, depending on the circumstance, actions we have taken, or for instance when we define our being, expressing ourselves with language or intuitively understanding different meanings of what we are through reflections, in both, positive and negative. We also gain semantic self-awareness from the opinions of others about ourselves again in both, positive and negative.
5. What is a physiological self-awareness? Focus your attention to the middle of your right arm, and sense what you feel from it. That is what physiological self-awareness is all about, how we sense our physiology in all its extent. Various relaxation records use this in that they make persons self-aware of various parts of the body, and speak on how it begins to relax, thus using suggestion, resulting, if not resisted consciously, to the spoken area to begin to relax. Coordination of the body is based on similar control we have over our body, of which capacity can be expanded by exercising yoga, martial arts, survival training, dancing or for instance different sexual techniques in adult life.

US Attorney General Alberto Gonzales
WASHINGTON, D.C. Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales today outlined the top priorities for the Department of Justice for the upcoming year and highlighted the major accomplishments of the Department during his first year as Attorney General.
The Attorney General's remarks to Justice Department employees focused on six specific areas where the Department will direct the greatest number of resources to build on its recent successes. He cited terrorism, violent crime, drug trafficking, cybercrime, government and corporate corruption, and civil rights as key priorities and areas where the Department has made great strides since he took office in February 2005.
"My goal is simple: Secure the opportunities of the American dream for all Americans and for future generations," Attorney General Gonzales said to Justice Department employees. "Keeping this charge is no small task and it will require no small effort. And I am well aware that I can't do it alone. I will need your help. So, today, I'm laying out a set of priorities and initiatives to guide our work for the coming year. This plan will allow us to continue the progress you've already achievedmost notably, four years without another terrorist attack here at home and a violent crime rate that is at its lowest level in more than three decades."
The Attorney General also announced new policy initiatives in some of the Department's key priority areas, including Project Safe Childhood, to prevent the exploitation of children over the Internet; an antigang initiative that will help combat some of the worst, most violent gangs in the country; and Operation Home Sweet Home, a concentrated initiative to expose and eliminate housing discrimination in America.
Other priorities discussed by the Attorney General today include:
Terrorism Combatting terrorism remains the Department's highest priority. In his remarks today, the Attorney General highlighted the hard work of Department leaders to make possible the reauthorization of the USA PATRIOT Act and said that the Department will continue to focus on its permanent renewal in Congress.
He also highlighted the Department's success in prosecuting terrorists in his first year on the job. In 2005, the Department obtained dozens of convictions in counterterrorism cases, including those of Zacarias Moussaoui, who pleaded guilty to six charges related to his participation in a plot to fly planes into buildings; Eric Robert Rudolph, who pleaded guilty to charges related to several deadly bombings, including the bombing at the 1996 Olympics; and Ali Al Timimi, who was convicted on all charges after he encouraged other individuals to go to Pakistan to receive military training from a foreign terrorist group in order to fight U.S. troops in Afghanistan.
ViolentCrime Keeping our communities safe from violent crime remains a top priority. During his remarks, the Attorney General discussed the continued prosecution of violent crime through Violent Crime Impact Teams (VCIT's); the Safe Streets task forces; and Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), under which the number of federal firearms prosecutions has increased 73 percent in the past five years. This year, the Department will devote $10 million in grant funds to support PSN's gun crime reduction programs.
The Attorney General announced that another $30 million in grants will be devoted to expanding PSN to include new and enhanced antigang efforts in 2006. In his remarks, the Attorney General also unveiled plans for a new sixcity antigang program that will devote extensive resources to defeating some of the most violent and pervasive gangs in the country. This new program will focus on prevention, targeted enforcement, and reentry of prisoners to society.
Cybercrime In discussing the Department's renewed focus on cybercrime, the Attorney General revealed plans for the Project Safe Childhood Initiative, which will focus on integrating federal, state, and local efforts to investigate and prosecute child exploitation cases. The initiative also calls for increased federal involvement in child pornography cases, additional training for law enforcement, and community awareness programs.
In 2005, the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS) netted a 25 percent increase in indictments over 2004 and an 80 percent increase in convictions under the Child Sex Tourism Initiative. CEOS also has shown a 104 percent increase in child prostitution convictions in 2005.
Drug Trafficking To help curb the flow of illicit drugs, the Attorney General pledged that the Department of Justice will remain dedicated to dismantling drug trafficking organizations and stopping the spread of illegal drugs. He cited as successes of his first year the arrests of
members of three major drug cartels. These include the Cali Cartel, which was the world's chief supplier of cocaine to the U.S. in the 1990's, earning an estimated $8 billion in profits; Haji Bashir Noorzai, an Afghan drug kingpin who was charged with conspiring to import more than $50 million worth of heroin; and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, a Colombian terrorist group.
Civil Rights In 2005, the Civil Rights Division secured more convictions against human trafficking defendants, increased the number of trafficking lawsuits filed by over 30 percent, and doubled the number of trafficking defendants charged from the previous year. In his remarks today, the Attorney General promised to build on these successes while pushing for reauthorization of the Voting Rights Act and renewing the Department's commitment to the principle of fair housing.
The Attorney General announced the creation of Operation Home Sweet Home, which will focus on improved targeting, increased testing, aggressive public awareness, and partnership with fairhousing organizations across the country. The initiative will include concentrated housing discrimination testing in areas recovering from the effects of Hurricane Katrina, and bring to an alltime high the number of fair housing test investigations nationwide.
Public and Corporate Corruption The Attorney General stated that integrity in government and business is essential for a strong America, and taxpayers and investors deserve nothing less. He highlighted the Department's robust efforts to prosecute business and government officials guilty of corruption and called on Justice Department employees to continue efforts needed to preserve the integrity of our public institutions and corporations.
In the last year, the Department made great strides in this area, including the prosecution of former Qwest CEO Joseph Nacchio, who was indicted on insider trading charges; the guilty plea of former lobbyist Jack Abramoff, who was charged with conspiracy, aiding and abetting honest services mail fraud, and tax evasion; and the guilty pleas of 40 defendants in connection with Operation Lively Green, a widespread bribery and extortion conspiracy that was in place from January 2003 through March 2004.
The Attorney General reiterated that this list of priorities is not exclusive. He told Department employees they each have other responsibilities that are no less important to the American dream.
"These priorities are not new," Attorney General Gonzales said. "They are fundamental to the American dream. Nor is this list comprehensive. But we will work in these areas with a targeted agenda focused on producing resultsbecause they are vital to the health of that dream in the 21st century."

Last week was crazy, I put together (with the help of my sister, Tami) some crafts to be sent down south for a Boutique.
I am very excited and had a lot of fun making everything, but I had to laugh as I sat down and color coded the headbands, I guess I'm quirky like that.
These pictures don't do them justice but I'll reveal more fun stuff after I know how things go.
P.S. If you are near the Ogden area and interested in attending the boutique on Tues & Wed shoot me an e-mail, ToriJoAndersen[at]gmail[dot]com and I'll send you the information.
P.S.S. Blogger is being silly and I can't figure out what it thinks I'm linking to...

The Book of Baphomet by Nikki Wyrd and Julian Vayne
If you've heard this particular god-name, then you've very likely asked: What is Baphomet? Which of the many answers to that question you find the most appealing may depend on whether you identify as a Thelemite, a Satanist, a Chaos Magician. Or even a Templar.
This book seems to have set out to cover all those bases, and a few you're unlikely to have thought of. And it does a very good job indeed.
The Book of Baphomet erupts with ideas and this review would become much too long if I mentioned a third of them, but the biggest theme is perhaps: Considerations of human life on the biggest scale and the smallest. The big questions: Nature. Wilderness. Responsibility. The nature of our identification with affinity groups and the question of what community means, within our species and including others.
Rich ideas of blending 'nature' with human technology such as control systems bring hope, by pointing towards an integrated vision of the future. We would be 'allowing the rest of the living world access to our tools... we create conditions for true embodied consciousness of our world. Baphomet...'
Then we have a superb alternative history of Baphomet. These sections build from Baphomet's various wrinkles of history and myth something approaching a coherent story. The figure of the God/dess emerges from the ground of magico-religious culture.
This is where we get to what might be the real triumph of the book: the tales told herein bridge science, magic, mysticism, history, psychology and political myth. Here we have all the elements which could make up a new and better religion. Since it seems that humans can't do without religion, it is good when narratives emerge that join up all these different threads of human experience. Who knows, maybe such a constellation of ideas will help displace the current crop of religions, which do not seem to be doing a very good job of maximizing human hope or even survival.
This book is also a good production, a nice physical object. I got a Kindle last year; it has provided me with dozens of free books, is the perfect format for reading papers downloaded from the various academies, but nothing can replace the feel of a real paper book, especially one produced with such care.
Oh, one final quote-thought for the day: 'Witchcraft is a cult of ecstasy.' If they only knew it.

(CNN) -- The Israeli air force launched overnight airstrikes against a weapons manufacturing site in northern Gaza and a pair of weapons-smuggling tunnels on the southern end of the Palestinian territory, a military spokesman said Monday.
"The attack is in response to the rockets and mortar shells that were fired at Israel and hit the southern Negev communities during the past weekend," according to Israel Defense Forces.
Israel said more than 100 rockets and mortars have been fired from Gaza into Israeli territory since the beginning of 2010.

WordPress Photo Challenge of the week: Silhouette. My entry is a picture from Göteborg, Sweden. The Swedish king Gustav II Adolf was the founder of the city, about 400 years ago. This statue is placed in the very centre of town, close to the city hall.
Curiosity: A unique Gustav Adolf-pastry is sold in Göteborg only on November 6:th. (Decorated with the king's silhouette, made of chocolate). I have spent nearly fifteen years here, but never tasted it.
Actually, I posted some silhouettes last week too, when sunlight had been poured over the tram-rails and streets.

I've already disavowed John McCain because he will not himself disavow the Bush Doctrine of pre-emptive war.
I'm watching the Democratic debate.
Senator Barack Obama has just said, relative to keeping Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, "I will not take any options off the table." The context of the question, and Obama's former comments make it clear that part of what he's not taking off the table is the option of a first strike against a nuclear-armed Iran.
That's unacceptable. As I wrote before, if the United States survived the Cold War, when a Soviet first strike could have almost instantly immolated 100 million Americans, with a doctrine of no first strike, in the era where the absolute worst a terrorist group or rogue nation can do is represented either in September 11, a tactical nuke, or a dirty bomb, then there is NO moral justification for pre-emptive war today.
Massive retaliation, yes.
A first strike, no.
Senator Hillary Clinton danced around the issue more delicately, but made her own flat, Bush-like declaration, that she would consider an attack on Israel as an attack on the US, and that--moreover--she intended to expand the current American umbrella of deterrence, which sounds eerily like the neo-con fixation on the pell-mell expansion of NATO.
NATO was created as a military alliance specifically for the containment of Soviet aggression and the defense of western Europe from military invasion. It is a Cold War relic that has outlived its original mission, and is now legitimately seen by Russia as a strategic threat capable of re-igniting a new arms race. Do we really want to tell the world than an attack on Romania or Lativa will be considered an attack on American soil? That's what Hillary Clinton has essentially said.
Here's my unfortunate take-away from tonight's debate (aside from the fact that Charlie Gibson and George Stephanapolis wasted the first half hour with really stupid questions):
Neither Barack Obama nor Hillary Clinton has any intention of giving up the Bush Doctrine that reserves to the US a unilateral right of military interventionism, nor does either of them--any more than John McCain--have any intention of reducing the vast American empire of bases around the world.
In that sense, despite the failure of his presidency, George W. Bush has actually won the foreign policy debate by so changing the American dialogue on unilateral military action that even his worst critics have adopted his framing of the argument.
We have been dipped in shit.

Jungle Planted!
Anyway hubby promised me this weekend for 'jungle' planting! So we started at about 8.30am today clearing all the bark chipping and laying out all the plants we have to go out.
We started first with the tree ferns. This is the advantage I have compared to other 'jungles' I can change mine every year, move it, within reason to where I fancy it, which to be honest suits my personality. Anyway, a friend from a forum I go on gave me a wonderful idea as to what could be done with a dead tree fern, so I wanted this to be Incorporated with the living tree ferns, and you will see it develop over the next few months!
Then came the planting of the main plot
most of these are reasonably easy to plant its when we get to the big 'nanas' things go pear shaped!
The banana in this pic has been in that pot for 2 years now, so we decided it needed to have its soil refreshed. It was so difficult to get out and nearly killed us! but during the re-planting we found that the centre of this seems to be totally rotten, but yet it keeps growing. I have no idea why, but we shall see, I think next year we will start again I am not sure we could move it again!!
This is the root growth of my Tetrapanax Papyrifer Rex it had only been in this pot 4 weeks. I had planned to put it in a larger pot so today was the day and it surprised us both at the extent of root growth!
This is the rest fo the plot, not so many 'nanas' this year!
If you had seen my Caster Oil plant a month and a half ago you would have said like me 'that's had it!' But as you can see it hasn't at all it grows with great gusto!
This week I got my knee brace, this is to help reduce the pain I have been getting! Its by no means heavy, but I have found I am walking funny, not deliberately it just seems to be happening, anyway I have an appointment with the physio and orthotics lady I was seeing before I was referred on the NHS, this week.
It makes my leg sweat and to be honest I never thought my leg sweated before, but it does now, then it feels wet, cold and slimy!!!!!
I know it is something I will have to get used too. On the plus side, the pain has eased in my knee but increased in my right ankle and hip! I suspect because I am walking differently! We will persevere!!!
8 comments:
Looks like you have it ready to enjoy for the summer. Impressive work, especially with that brace. I hope you can get it balanced out to relieve the pain without creating pain in a different place! It must take some getting use to. Happy June - PaulaReplyDelete
Thank you Paula, we will persevere, I won't give in!ReplyDelete
My word, that's shapely knee you have there. :-)ReplyDelete
Good luck with all your tropicals this summer, your garden is beginning to take shape.
Shammickite: I laughed at 'shapely knee', I have my fathers legs HUGE!!!! lol!!ReplyDelete
Quite a hectic schedule there! Nothing like good old gardening to relax after doing all that driving :) Garden's looking good btw! Looking forward to the progress of the modified 'tree fern', I'm curious how it goes on. That T-Rex will look fab!ReplyDelete
I hope you'll feel much more comfortable soon with your knee (and brace!) :)
Spent another day in the garden today, slowly coming together. Knee brace is ok just wish it wouldn't slide down my leg!!!ReplyDelete
Your poor knee!ReplyDelete
I hope they get you sorted out soon.
Your garden is looking very tropical, but what hard work, I'm sure that doesn't help your knee.
The results are worth it though from what we can see.
Is your castor oil plant perennial?
Ours only do a season, and winter finishes them off in short order.
Your garden is looking stunnning - so wonderful to have an (almost) instant garden when you put the pots outReplyDelete
Hope they can make your knee brace more comfortable for you
Thank you for visiting my blog. Please let me know what you think, and that you have visited. If we met in real life I would offer you cake and coffee or tea x

I have had some problems with my computer recently. I had to go and download Windows 10 ( can't deny myself the opportunity for frustration and) that was the beginning. I like it but... after many updates from Microsoft and from McCaffee and Picasa many things were not working. Then more updates and things were almost back to normal. However, I still cannot create collages and in working with trying to create a collage I deleted a bunch of photos from my memory card. I am not sure how I did that but they are gone and not saved in my computer. I had photos 2 finished baby quilts that are gone to their recipients on that card, OH WELL!!
I have been slowly making progress on finishing some things I've had hanging around waiting for the next step.
Both of these Hexagon table toppers were made using leftovers. I quilted this one and added the binding.
This piece on the left just sat around till last week when I cut 60 degree triangles from it and made another hexagon table topper.
This one is a little larger so I had to refigure all my measurements because again I wanted the center hex to be all one piece of fabric.
Now I am considering making another tree skirt using Annie's tutorial again. I have made 3 of them and I have another granddaughter who might like one.
We'll see! I have two quilts layered up, all ready to be finished and I am going to do that first.

Baz Bamigboye, Arts Reviewer, The Daily Mail
The adaptation by Shaun McKenna and Matthew Warchus is astoundingly intelligent.
Robert Cushman, Theatre Critic, The Canadian National Post
Not to be missed - a genuine theatrical spectacle that should please fans of the books and movies and intrigue the uninitiated.
Ray Bennett, The Hollywood Reporter
An impressive theatrical spectacle – a visual treat!
Brenda Emmanus, Arts and Entertainment Correspondent, BBC London News
What an amazing production. I have always said the best theatrical experience I have ever witnessed is "O" in Las Vegas, but "THE LORD OF THE RINGS" is up there with it!
Michael Metcalf, Senior Director, GMTV
The eagerly anticipated show really lived up to all the hype – I was totally blown away! I've never seen anything like it before, really quite breathtaking and I shall certainly be recommending it to friends and Travel Channel viewers.
Petra Shepher, Travel Channel
It was a wonderful evening. A visual spectacular. I've never seen a production like it.
Asad Ahmad, Presenter, BBC London News
The show's international creative team has created a stage epic that is surprisingly smart and visually stunning.
J Kelly Nestruck, Theatre Critic, The Boston Globe
The sheer intelligence of this adaptation is a pure pleasure to see. The narrative is slick and fluent, but the show brims with warmth from beginning to end, with its keynote sounding from the start of the 'pre-show,' as hobbits clamber over audience-members in their quest for fireflies. The best portrayal of the two leading hobbits, Sam and Frodo, that I have ever seen. Absolutely superb, and not to be missed!
Laura Marples, Reviewer for Mallorn - The Journal of the Tolkien Society
We were enchanted. In a time where interpretations of Tolkien are plentiful to say the least, plotting and holding an original course is an accomplishment itself. Don't miss this show or you'll have missed something truly quintessential.

Johnny Ball, TV Presenter
I've been raving about the show to all who'll listen! We were both blown away (quite literally in places) by the design of the show and the performances and it was such a treat for me to take Sam (aged 11) to the show.

Last night I was hanging out with Joe and Jessie and she was talking about a 5K event Joe ran in remembrance of Jessie's dad, who passed away in March. She was talking about how emotional the event was, which is understandable because the wounds of her loss are still so fresh. She's in what she is calling a season of grief and I won't forget how lost that can make you feel.
Something she said last night triggered a memory I'd completely buried somewhere in my mind. I have to share it, even though now, years later, I can see how sad it is. But it's important.
I don't know how old I was– either in junior high, or maybe a freshman in high school. My mom and I used to sing together at various events, like Marietta's annual choir performance of "The Messiah" with the orchestra, or in this case, a choir in Caldwell that rehearsed for a few weeks in order to sing at the local Relay For Life event that spring.
I don't know what songs we sang, but I remember thinking during our weekly rehearsals how pretty those selections were, and maybe one in particular. It was a long time ago. But the night we finally performed, I got really emotional, thinking about my mom, and how she'd had cancer herself but lived to be there to sing at an event memorializing those who hadn't been so lucky. I remember literally crying while singing, and after we were done I went off by myself and cried so, so hard. My mom found me sitting on the ground and somehow she knew exactly what I was thinking. She assured me she was better now, and we had nothing to worry about.
Of course, years later, those comforting words are no longer true, but they were then. I am glad we had that moment together and I wish I had said more. But maybe I didn't have to with her.
She was sick the first time, leukemia then, when I was four or five and by the time I understood what a terminal illness was she was out of the woods. I do remember a couple of occasions as a kid or teen when I really did stop and profoundly feel and think about it, and I just marveled at how lucky my family was that my mom beat such gloomy odds. I think I remember hearing a figure of something like a five-year life expectancy, and I'll be damned if she didn't stretch that out to 17. Thank God she didn't go before I was ten, because I'm absolutely sure I'd be a different person.

The digital divide between Black Americans and other American groups has
narrowed. 68 percent of African Americans report they are online
(compared with 71 percent of all Americans), according to a survey by
Yankelovich, sponsored by Radio One Inc, MarketingCharts reports.
Among Black teens, the number of digitally connected is even higher,
with 90 percent reporting they are online. Of all Black Americans,
two-thirds shop online. Blacks who live in the south are least likely to
be online (63 percent).
These findings are part of the "Black America Survey" of 3,400 African
Americans age 13 to 74.
The large-scale study finds strong group identity among Blacks across
age and income brackets but also reveals differences in segments among
Blacks that should preclude marketers from approaching Black America as
a monolithic group.
The study also shows...
* Blacks are divided evenly on how they liked to be
described, with 42 percent (who are more likely to be affluent)
preferring to be called "Black" and 44 percent preferring "African
* 70 percent say they have a plan for their future, 54
percent say they are optimistic about their future and 60 percent say
"things are getting better for me."
Relationship with Black media:
* 84 percent of households have cable and 81 percent watch
Black TV channels weekly.
* 87 percent listen to radio in a typical week (only 16
percent listen to satellite radio).
* 64 percent watch news or read news magazines and 50
percent watch court shows (compared with 41 percent for sports and 46
percent for entertainment).
* Only 29 percent agree that the mainstream media portrays
Blacks in a positive light, compared with 50 percent who do not relate
to the way Blacks are portrayed on most Black TV shows.
* 40 percent think Black TV is reinforcing a negative
stereotype of Blacks.

The rain washed out the snow pretty quickly. By the afternoon, there's not really visible traces of snow (other than places that had a huge stack of it). Everywhere is flooded in UBC though.Bought a CD-shelf and mounted it on the wall just above my desk. Didn't have the time to populate it yet, so it's pretty sparse for now.

...just fyi for those interested, and you probably should be if you own a 7q/7q+. I'm leaning towards purchasing the new Sony FX9 so i reached out to CD to see if there are any plans for the 7q to support the RAW output of the Fx9 as well as asking the status of the company. I got two replies...
Thank you for contacting Convergent Design, Robert.
Convergent Design is still in business; we have slowed down on developing the Odyssey/Apollo recorders as we are moving to different technologies.
I apologize, Robert, I did not answer your other question -
Support for the 16 Bit RAW from Sony FX9 - You are correct in thinking we will not be supporting this camera at this time.
So much like the camera it leaned on...sounds to me like the 7q is EOL at least as far as any meaningful future development...bummer.
2 out of 2 members found this post helpful.
For what it's worth CD products are more reliable and robust than many other recorders. Odyssey 7Q+ has dual SSD slots, yet another great feature that many others don't have.
And also aside from Codex recorders probably the only option to record RAW from an Arri Alexa. I guess different people have different requirements.
That being said I'm selling mine, shameless plug. I'm not using my F23 anymore and need to make space for other gear ;)

Wow, sad to hear it confirmed! I emailed them early this year and they said their engineers were "looking into" Prores RAW... But it's now clear that isn't happening.

I'm one who tinks the 700 + 7q is superior to the fs7.
I haven't seen the fs7's successor yet though. The combo is just a straight up workhorse!I'm a jack of all trades and master of SOME.

Serena Miss in too form for Riccarton

Serena Miss in too form for Riccarton
Graeme and Debbie Rogerson created New Zealand turf history at Riccarton in 2009 and they are keen to turn back the clock with their Goodwood Stud graduate Serena Miss.
The husband and wife team prepared Katie Lee to become the first horse to complete the 2000-1000 Guineas double and they are heading in that direction again.
Serena Miss' win in today's Gr.3 Sarten Memorial will now see her take aim at the Gr 1 Sothys NZ 2000 Guineas at Christchurch on November 7.
"It all hinged around today and how she went against the boys and some of the better fillies so we're 99 per cent certain to go for the colts' race," Debbie Rogerson said.
"I was quietly confident and you have to get these fillies to peak at the right time. She's come back a very good filly and a mile will suit her."
The winner of last season's Gr 2 Matamata Breeders' Stakes, the strapping Serena Miss sat close to the ace and rounded off strongly in the straight under Leith Innes.
"This is the first time she's had a draw so I rode her a bit more positively," successful jockey Leith Innes said.
"It was a good effort and they were going pretty hard up front and she held on well," Innes said.
The daughter of Iffraaj and the More Than Ready mare Gifted Lass was bought by the Rogersons out of Goodwood's 2014 Premier Sale line-up last year for $85,000.
She is a half-sister to the Listed VRC St Leger placegetter Gifted Lad.

When we right-click a MS Office file (like
Excel), we can go to Properties: Details: and
add some keywords to the file. We can also
specify different categories. Today it's called
"Tagging" in Windows 7. I've entered a couple
of keywords and categories in different files.
So we are in "Details" view and then we go in
View: Choose details: and check "keywords"
and "categories" so they appear in the
columns of the "Details" view. We can see the
words entered in the "Categories" column.
Good! But in the "Keywords" column... :
Nothing!!! It looks like a bug. By the way, if we
put the files on a USB drive and transfer them
to a Windows 7 computer, the keywords
previously entered will show in the "Tags"
column (But no tag column in XP).
Is there a fix or a workaround to show the
keywords in the "Keywords" column?
Anyone with a solution?

Watch the BMW i8 get wrung out on the RingThu, 24 Apr 2014 14:58:00 EST
Been wondering where the heck the reviews of the all-new, plug-in-hybrid BMW i8 have been? After all, the car isn't exactly new, having debuted in concept form way back in September of 2009. In August of last year, we even tested a prototype of the new supercar. Despite that, though, we still haven't gotten a crack at the actual vehicle that will be sold to the public.
Well, we're happy to tell you that we're currently testing the i8 and will have a proper review for you soon. If, however, you're just aching for some coverage of the low-slung plug-in, we have a short video of it in action around Germany's famed Nürburgring.
Despite it's three-cylinder, turbocharged gas engine, the i8 sounds pretty angry as it laps the Ring. That is, until it has a little bit of a breakdown. According to the guys that caught the car on video, it appeared the i8 had a minor brake issue, and was parked on the side of the track for a good 15 minutes, with the driver pumping the brakes. We should probably just take this as proof, then, that manufacturers are actually using the Ring for testing, and not just messing about.
Take a look below for the video, and stay tuned for our full review of the 2015 BMW i8.

Time: 10:45AM – 11:45AM
Location: Confluence with Eagle River upstream to just beyong US 6
Brush Creek 10/26/2018 Photo Album
After spending my second night at the Gaboury's luxurious home in Eagle Ranch, my friend Dave G. was finally free to join me in some fly fishing. The night before we discussed a split session with a few hours in the morning on Brush Creek followed by an early afternoon session on the Eagle River. Based on my experience on the Eagle during the same calendar time period in 2017, I was fairly certain that we would encounter a decent blue winged olive hatch in the PM.
On Friday morning we tracked the hourly temperature on my weather application, and the graph displayed 45 degrees for 10AM warming to 49 by 11AM. Upon seeing this projection of chill, Dave G. decided to forego Brush Creek, so I made the short drive to Brush Creek Confluence Park myself. Although the air temperature was in fact in the forties, as I strung my Orvis Access four weight and pulled on my waders, the bright sun made it seem much milder. I wore my long sleeved insulated Columbia undershirt, my fishing shirt and a gray fleece; and I was relatively comfortable during my one hour on lower Brush Creek.
When I was properly attired and geared up, I completed the short hike on a well worn path to the point where Brush Creek empties into the Eagle River. The Eagle was quite turbid, so I was not tempted to make a few prospecting casts to the run below the merge point. I immediately veered to the left and knotted a peacock hippy stomper and iron sally to my line.
Over the next hour I progressed upstream, until I was just above the US 6 bridge that spanned the creek. Along the way I cast the two fly dry/dropper to all the likely trout holding locations. I maintained a decent distance, as the water was at low autumn flows, and I was very efficient in my prospecting. For the most part I limited my casts to three per spot, and only a couple places merited five or six drifts.
The strategy rewarded me with six landed brown trout in one hour of focused fly fishing, but all the trout were in the ten to eleven inch range. I was pleased with my catch rate but disappointed with the size of the fish. My cautious approaches were mainly effective, although I did observe a few fleeing trout at the tail of select pools. At 11:45 I reeled up my line and hooked the iron sally to the bottom rod guide and returned to the car.
Fish Landed: 6

From Agrimoney:
Goldman Sachs, which last week lifted its forecasts for grain futures, has raised hopes for cattle too, citing the prospect of a slowdown in numbers of animals for slaughter but a further rise in demand.Indeed, the bank rated livestock futures as a better bet than crop futures over the next 12 months, expecting gains of 10.5% in cattle and hog prices compared with a loss of 5.1% in the likes of corn, cotton and cocoa.The forecast followed upgrades to forecasts for Chicago futures in live cattle, those already fattened, on three, six and 12-month time horizons."We expect a tighter live cattle balance in 2011-12 to support prices," Goldman Sachs said.Supply squeezeSupplies of live cattle ahead will be limited by "sharply lower" numbers of unfattened animals available for putting on feedlots, after southern ranchers, their pastures ravaged by drought, destocked this year, selling unusually-young cattle for fattening....MORE
Cattle futures started the year at a high and look to close the year a bit higher. Currently 120.80 for the December contract, 123.10 for February 2012. See also:
