Heathers http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000059PPG/
Its origin is as the title of a 1988 movie starring Winona Ryder as a high schooler desperate to join a sorority where all the girls are named Heather. It's a touchstone among "Generation X," (the baby bust, born between 1964 and the Reagan era.)
I first saw the term used to describe the media in a story by David Podvin. He credited the term to Peter Hart of Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, who said "reporters tend to be clique-ish sorority-like 'Heathers' who are put off by the personalities of (all) liberal candidates."
Podvin's view is darker. He sees them as the GOP's Stepford Wives (the remake comes out in June (goody))
In fact, the serial sliming of Democrats has absolutely nothing to do with Clinton or Gore or Dean or Kerry – it is all about the profit motive. The anti-Democratic bias in the media is directly proportional to the level of consolidation of the industry. While it is true that mainstream reporters are excruciatingly shallow, that is because journalists of substance who will not conform to the corporate agenda are unwelcome at the major media outlets.
What remains at America's metropolitan newspapers and national broadcasting networks are the reporters who are willing to trade their integrity for high-paying jobs. In 2000, these mercenaries savaged the Democratic nominee because their employers viewed anything else as being unacceptable. In 2004, they will do exactly the same thing for exactly the same reason.
In other words, it's all part of the Conservative Media Conspiracy, the Silencing of Dissent in the name of Corporate Greed.
However you view it, whether as mere "me-tooism" or outright bias, it's part of the environment we must deal with. The Doctor himself is playing a wary game of seduction, soliciting Washington endorsements and highlighting his moderate credentials.
We don't have to play it that way. But shouting "Conservative Media Conspiracy," even if true, is not going to get the j-o-b done.
As so often the case in questions involving Governor Howard Dean M.D., the answer lies in history. In this case, the history of Washington, D.C.
Washington was designed as a renter's town. Abigail Adams called Georgetown "the very dirtiest hole I ever saw." My favorite Washington movie is the war-time comedy "Government Girl," portraying Washington, in its most heroic period, as a fetid pool of power-grabbers who care little for the common good.
Those who stay in Washington, in other words, shouldn't. What the town needs most of all is turnover, a spring cleaning, not just in the government but everywhere.
I think the Heathers know this. I think that's why they are so anxious to do the bidding of Washington Democrats and take Dean down. They know that Dean brings, not just a Democrat to power, but true democracy, in all its revolutionary hurly-burly fervor. A Dean Administration would not just discomfit them, it would turn their safe little lives upside-down.
To which I say, again, goody. Turnover is what we should stand for, turnover is what we should demand. Turnover now. Marshall, Yglesias, Stephanopoulos, Matthews, all you Heathers, get out of town. If you can make a living in the Real America, maybe someone will invite you back.
But for now you're tainted. You have, as the cops say, "gone native." You're suffering Stockholm Syndrome.
The good news is that, once again, this casts us in the mood of the revolutionaries, at a time when a "throw the bums out" mood has taken over. There are no jobs, our best young people are dying, we're scared to death, the environment is a disaster, but we don't have to take it.
We don't have to take it from Bush, and we don't have to take it from the Heathers, either. We're marching, we're spreading the word, and we're going to win.
UPDATE (Aziz): The comment thread has been abuzz with disagreement (including my own) about calling Matt (and to a lesser extent JMM) a Heather. ccobb summarizes best:
I'm a liberal Democrat. I like Dean a lot. ... I am not a Dean supporter, although like most Dems I will certainly support him if he gets the nom. Sorry Deaniacs, but the good doctor is not the 2nd coming of Christ, Moses and Mohammed roled into one. He's just a politician, and a relatively moderate one at that. He is not perfect.
And like Matt Y and JMM, I have my concerns about Dean, just as I do about most of the candidates. But I don't think it is selling out to the "mainstream" or being a "heather" to be critical of Dean. Hell, if more of that would have happened with Bush, we might not have him as our fearless leader.

About Nation-Building
Nation-Building was founded by Aziz Poonawalla in August 2002 under the name Dean Nation. Dean Nation was the very first weblog devoted to a presidential candidate, Howard Dean, and became the vanguard of the Dean netroot phenomenon, raising over $40,000 for the Dean campaign, pioneering the use of Meetup, and enjoying the attention of the campaign itself, with Joe Trippi a regular reader (and sometime commentor). Howard Dean himself even left a comment once. Dean Nation was a group weblog effort and counts among its alumni many of the progressive blogsphere's leading talent including Jerome Armstrong, Matthew Yglesias, and Ezra Klein. After the election in 2004, the blog refocused onto the theme of "purple politics", formally changing its name to Nation-Building in June 2006. The primary focus of the blog is on articulating purple-state policy at home and pragmatic liberal interventionism abroad.

For those who don't quite understand the metaphor:: Run around is a common expression meaning to be busy, frantic, or otherwise getting the runaround. But to emphasize how much one is running around, we turn to metaphor. I've been running around like a blue arsed fly. The fly in question is apparently a blue bottle fly, which buzzes around rather frantically, like someone who is running around busily doing errands.
Golly gosh! I've been busy – still am!! Some good things:
- My calligraphy course went very well – no-one turned up, so I sat & chatted to Martine, the organiser, for anhour then presented my bill, and came home to do my ironing. Hopefully, I'll get paid the full amount.
- SNCF have refunded the cost of the initial ticket, that I couldn't use, from my horrible journey home from convention. I'm still a bit out of pocket, but we'll accept that.
- Mr FD has several interviews/job fairs to go to in the next couple of weeks (fingers crossed) and I'm getting more work too. The Financial Monster is being kept at bay, thanks to the geneerosity of mothers, and some frugality on our part. Plus a transfer of funds from the UK!
- I'm going here on Saturday for 5 days!
Yay! Huzzah! and other cries of glee.
Less nice, but exciting and interesting news:
- I resigned from the Transition Committee for the Bishop Elect. My new medication (hormone therapy) does have a side efect of increased anxiety, and I was finding myself getting really stressed, even just over the Zoom meetings (like Skype) It was doing me no good, so I resigned, deciding that I needed just to focus on Church here in Clermont.
- However, here in Clermont, Father Rob and his wife Caireen are moving on. They are off to Rome, and we are looking for a new rector. We may need to be creative – possibly a part time rector, possibly something else…Happily the new Bishop Elect is interested in and knowledgable in bi-vocational work. Until someone is appointed I will probably be preaching more/taking more services, and we'll be having various ordained people visiting so we can have the Eucharist.
- I'm now on the Strategic Planning Committee – but it is focussing on church here in Clermont!! – as we start to think about what Christ Church in Clermont Ferrand will evolve into. It's sad that we are losing two well-loved people, but it is exciting to l;ook ahead to what we may become, and what God's plans are for us.
And off I buzz again – need to have lunch before leaving to go to Clermont to teach.
Hope all is well with you, dear Ones. I am thinking about my Things to do Before I'm 60 list. I may publish it at the beginning of January – 10 Things in the 10 months before I'm 60. That seems like a reasonable number of things. Thank you for your ideas – keep them coming!

If you've been around me much, or my online presence, you'll know that one of my biggest passions is performance enhancement and speed development. The science and practice of increasing power and speed are incredibly enjoyable to me. The increased outputs can have a great transfer to other activities, like sport.
On the other hand, something that was never a "passion" of mine historically was weight loss and obesity, but that has changed recently. I recently discovered fasting and a low carb lifestyle, both of which are outlined in The Obesity Code , which I think is the #1 Book on Weight Loss.
Some of that changed last year. As a lifelong athlete and fitness junkie, weight has never been a problem for me, unless I wanted to get Bigger and Stronger. However, after Christmas 2015, into the beginning of 2016, I realized I had gotten much heavier than I had ever been (I was telling myself I was just thick, but who am I kidding). This included playing University football, where weight gain has always been glorified. For someone who was telling people how to get leaner, I realized I was not living my practice. After careful research, I decided to try intermittent fasting and a massive reduction of carbohydrates. My lifestyle stayed relatively the same, as I already worked out frequently. Yet, over the next three to five months, I dropped close to 25 pounds. Weight I never thought I "needed" to lose. Not only that, but it got easier and easier the further I went. I had way more energy, better cognitive function and generally felt better.
For this reason, nutrition and weight loss HAS become a bit of a passion. After I realized how much easier that was than to simply try to control calories, I started suggesting it to clients. Immediately I started seeing positive changes. Massive changes in weight loss, but secondary factors like reduced cravings, less hunger and a number of other things like: better memory, better skin, less chronic soreness and pain, etc.
In order to spread the word, I've tried to write as much as I can. Topics include:
– Fat Burning
– Fasting
– Breakfast ideas for fat loss
As much as I enjoy writing, there's a book that does a much better job than I ever could.
That book is "The Obesity Code", by Dr. Jason Fung.
Jason Fung is a doctor in Toronto who now specializes in Obesity and weight loss. His website and youtube videos are second to none for education and he continues that with this exceptional book.
He does a phenomenal job breaking down the factors that lead to obesity and also sets you up with the best plan to counteract the epidemic. One of my favourite things about this book is that he explains WHY the Calories In vs Calories Out model doesn't work. He also uses a ton of analogies and really helps the reader understand these physiological factors. He describes the science and the research which support his argument very clearly.
Dr. Fung lays out the hormonal basis for weight loss and finds the culprit – Insulin. I've written about insulin before, but it's a hormone in the body that causes storage of glucose, in both muscle cells and fat cells. For the majority of people, it is more commonly the latter (fat storage). Since Insulin Resistance is the main cause of metabolic syndrome and many other health problems (cardiovascular disease and alzheimers, for instance), Dr. Fung explains how to manipulate insulin for better control of weight.
One of my favorite parts is that he doesn't add conflict between the low calorie vs low carb debate, he clearly explains how each can be effective but manipulate different factors in this multifactorial disease.
I don't want to spoil the book too much, but I personally feel like it's the best book I've read on weight loss. Pick it up HERE or check your local library!
Chances are, you or someone you know has once discussed weight loss, this book could be a great way to share knowledge among friends!
It's About Getting Better!

2016 Exhibition Highlights
Exhibitions in Archaeology, Fine Arts, and Architecture Reflect on Cross-Cultural Exchange Spanning Millennia
The Israel Museum, Jerusalem today announced its upcoming program of exhibitions for 2016, following the conclusion of its 50th Anniversary celebrations throughout 2015. From focused presentations of international contemporary artists to exhibitions exploring cross-cultural themes, the Museum's 2016 program embraces topics spanning continents, genres, and time periods.
Opening on March 4 as a centerpiece of the Museum's 2016 season, Pharaoh in Canaan: The Untold Story marks the first-ever exhibition to explore the cross-cultural ties between Egypt and Canaan during the second millennium BCE through an unprecedented display of more than 650 ancient artifacts. Featuring objects discovered in Egypt and Israel, the exhibition illuminates the cross-fertilization of ritual practices and aesthetic vocabularies between these two distinct ancient cultures. On view beginning July 1, Social Construction: Modern Architecture in British Mandate Palestine extends into the 20th century this same exploration of how distinct cultures can coalesce to inform the development of new cultural expressions by highlighting the transformative impact of early European modernism on the development of architecture in Palestine during the British Mandate.
"The notion of cross-cultural dialogue goes right to the heart of everything we do at the Israel Museum, resonating deeply with the rich narratives of aesthetic interchange found throughout our encyclopedic collections," said James S. Snyder, Anne and Jerome Fisher Director of the Israel Museum. "In 2016, we are exploring this theme to showcase the ongoing phenomenon of cultural and aesthetic exchange that has marked the history of civilization and that continues worldwide today."

|4 days, 3 sketchbooks, 1 colored paper pad. Pure bliss!
Two weeks ago we had a 4-day full-time drawing course with instructor Niall Laverty. Yes, 7-hours a day of drawing is pretty exhausting, but I loved it! It was such a relief to step away from the computer and get back to making marks on paper the old-fashioned way. I realized how much I had missed it.
|To begin with, we posed for each other
He really pushed us to get away from portraying anatomy and details, and trying to capture the gesture of the pose, the feel of it. This was somewhat difficult for me at first because I had built up certain habits over the years that I had to consciously fight against. Although near the end I started grasping the idea a bit more, and became looser in my work - it remained a constant battle for me.
It was clear this course was designed for animators because it focused on teaching us to focus on the essence, the force, the line, the spirit of the pose - not the details. For 90% of the week, we stuck to 30-second or 1-minute poses. This was key to the whole exercise - to give you enough time to think about how to relay the overall idea, but not enough time to get bogged down in details like perfect anatomy and shading. Surprisingly, this time limit actually had the effect of improving my proportions because I was forced to focus on the entire pose and be constantly aware of how different body parts relate to each other, as opposed to enjoying the rendering of a hand, for example, at the expense of everything else.
We modeled for each other the first morning, then had a female model. The following day we had a male model, and then both of them!
We covered different topics and did a variety of exercises each day. I really enjoyed the fact that Niall forced us to talk about each other's work after every few drawings - pointing out what worked, what didn't, and how it could be improved. Seeing what great stuff other people were doing gave me fresh new ideas to try in my own work!
We talked about line of action, straight lines versus curves, working from inside the model (avoiding outlining), emphasizing weight with line quality and thickness. I feel that Niall succeeded with his constant encouragement to look for gesture, and how to convey it most clearly.
Simplifying was an important concept for me to try and work into every drawing. Another was not being a slave to reality but exaggerating it and bending it to get a stronger pose or to emphasize parts that relayed the story of the action better.
About a week after the course, I sat down to draw again and it felt different. The course did seem to affect the way my mind approached the first marks I put down. I thought a lot more about the feel of the action and the overall force of the pose, and much less than usual about where to position the anatomical landmarks of the character. Niall's course gave me a much more liberated, loose, and in the end - fun approach to drawing.
Below are some more of the highlights from our week-long course:

Chris Mullin, who during his 13 years with the team became one of the most beloved Golden State Warriors of all time, will see his jersey go up in the rafters tonight during a halftime ceremony. From the San Fran Chronicle: "I am grateful to (owner) Joe Lacob for (tonight), but No. 1, I am grateful to the fans,' Mullin said. 'It was my honor to play in front of them. We bonded together. My career didn't exactly get off to a blazing start.' Mullin, the Warriors' first-round pick in 1985, overcame a rocky first couple of seasons, turning the corner after a 31-day stay in an alcohol-dependency rehabilitation center. 'I became a man and raised a family in the Bay Area," Mullin, 48, said. 'And if you would have told a certain kid from Brooklyn 30 years ago, he would have said you were crazy. I am very grateful to the people in the organization, my family and friends and to the fans. They were all very supportive and inspirational.' Mullin will become the sixth player in team history to have his jersey number retired, joining Al Attles (No. 16), Rick Barry (No. 24), Wilt Chamberlain (No. 13), Tom Meschery (No. 14) and Nate Thurmond (No. 42). The late Chamberlain will be represented by his sister, Barbara Lewis, tonight and the other four players will also be in attendance. 'I am proud to have been a part of this storied franchise,' Mullin said. 'That's overlooked, that it's a storied franchise, because of the recent history. But there have been some incredible people that have played for and worked for this franchise, and that should be recognized. This is a great honor.' A five-time All-Star, Mullin was just inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in August. It was then that Warriors owner Lacob first extended the olive branch to Mullin."

MacArthur Park: Urban Oasis is one of 47 artworks selected from over 400 competitors nationwide.
Americans for the Arts is the nation's leading nonprofit organization advancing the arts in America. Their Public Art Network Year in Review is the only national program that specifically recognizes public art projects.
For "MacArthur Park: Urban Oasis," Sonia Romero produced original linoleum cut artworks that rendered evocative scenes from the landmark Los Angeles park and adjacent historical buildings. The artworks were translated into 13 ceramic mosaic mural panels by highly specialized artisans at Mosaika Art & Design studio.
Echoing the park's bisection by Wilshire Boulevard, the mural panels were divided into two parallel facing walls at the station's mezzanine level. The artwork imagery reflects daily life in the iconic landscape on both sides of the park. More importantly, they connect Metro customers with the area's historic roots as riders journey through the station.
Also featured in El Pasajero and The Source at metro.net
"I found the story of the park and its fluctuating energy stimulating and intriguing," said Romero. "I developed my concept around the idea that MacArthur Park is an urban oasis. It was my goal to create a public work, which celebrated the 120-year-old history of MacArthur Park and the people who use it."
Romero holds a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design and is a graduate of the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts.
Her exhibitions include the inaugural solo exhibition at the Vincent Price Art Museum at East Los Angeles College (on view through August 19), a solo show at Avenue 50 Studio and a printmaking retrospective at Self Help Graphics.
Romero also recently completed a public art piece, Tierra del Sol, which hangs in the entry hall of the Dennis P. Zine community center in Canoga Park. Along with offering community art workshops for the HeArt Project, she has also worked with youth to complete four large-scale art installations at East LA swimming pools for the LA County Arts Commission.
Metro employs art and design to create a sense of place, engage transit riders, and improve quality of life throughout Los Angeles County.
Central to this objective, Metro Creative Services includes the agency's in-house design studio, which creates Metro's brand communications, and the agency's art and design excellence programs, which commission wide-ranging projects by visual artists and promote overall design quality of customer environments.

Jimah Energy Ventures Sdn Bhd (JEV) today is one of the leading private energy companies in Malaysia. This company has set up a new Independent Power Producer (IPP) at Mukim Jimah, district of Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan Darul Khusus.Jimah development, own and also operates the coal-fired energy. The Project consists of the construction and commissioning of two coal-fired generating units with the net capacity of 700 MW each, based on proven sub-critical technology. The Project includes ancillary infrastructure such as a coal handling system, coal yard, ash pond and dedicated coal jetty.
On 12th November, Electrical and Electronics Engineering students along with Mechanical Engineering students of Nilai University were given an opportunity to visit the JEV to get an industrial view.
The visit was to show the excellent performance and the continuous improvement of JEV. All the students were gathered at the Administration Block in Nilai University from where we were taken from the bus to the JEV Power Plant located in Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan Darul Khusus. The journey was more than 1 hour through the beautiful landscape of Negeri Sembilan.
The day started with the company welcoming us and showing the map of the company. Then we were taken to the conference room to be given a briefing on the company by Miss Siti Aisha who was the engineer at JEV. During the briefing, the company showed us how the company came into being, since 2003 until today. Later, the engineers were shown a presentation about the production of the energy. The speaker discussed and explained the details about the countries they import coal from, processing of coal and production of coal-fired.
With the aid of different pictures, we were given easier look of the whole system.
Before we could go any further, we digested all the information about JEV. After which they served us the delicious refreshments to all the students so could get fresh for the visit to the entire production and supply unit. They took all the students on the bus tour to the company showing all the units. As a memory, they showed us the first batch of coal they received in their timeline.
Here are some pictures of the company that we were able to get.
While most of the university life is spent in studies, quizzes, and exams, Nilai University has started this Industrial trip project to give the students an idea about how the professional life would be. It's tough to decide what career to choose. But giving the exposure of Industrial visit, will help in deciding what a student really wants.
Personally, I, as an Electrical and Electronics Engineer was always interested in the pursuing my career in power Electronics. Therefore, visiting the place like Jimah Ventures, was like a heaven to me. I was given a great exposure to the industrial and professional life. I met a number of engineers and learned a lot from them.
Waiting for another trip next semester… 😛 Till next time… Happy Reading… 🙂

On July 30th 2013, after 8 years of trying my sister and her husband had a baby boy.
They named him Deegan, and our lives have been so different since.
He's 18 months now, and he's make our lives so much better.My parents are overjoyed every Sunday when they get to babysit, and
their house is overrun with toys.
We all love seeing his personality develop as he's grown.
He's such a sweet, and caring child, he rarely raises a fuss.
He loves food and he's got his little happy belly to prove it.
He loves to pick up after himself, which is so cute to watch.
Last time I saw him, he was sad to see me leave, and he blew
me kisses all the way out the door.
I love my nephew so much.
I can't wait for these next years, and to see who becomes.
I know they are going to be amazing.

Ever since the midterm 2010 elections voted in a Republican majority to the U.S. House of Representatives, the House has voted 30 times to repeal Obamacare — the misnamed "Affordable" Patient Care Act that is anything but affordable. Nearly 75% of Obamacare costs will fall on the backs of the middle class — Americans who make less than $120,000 a year.
It turns out those votes were just symbolic sap thrown to pacify Conservatives because the GOP leaders knew their repeals had NO chance of passing the Democrat-controlled Senate and, even if the Senate approved it, the measure would be vetoed by the POS in the White House.
But the Constitution does give the House the "purse strings," i.e., control over spending. And federal funding of Obamacare is due to expire in two months, on September 30th. One would think this should be the perfect opportunity for the House to kill Obamacare by cutting off its
blood supply funding.
The Three Eunuchs (from l to r): Boehner, Cantor, McCarthy
Doug Book reports for the Western Center for Journalism that the Republican leaders of the U.S. House of Representatives — Speaker John Boehner, Majority leader Eric Cantor and House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy — have decided that the Party will do NOTHING to defund ObamaCare:
Yet weak knees on the part of Republican leadership should come as no surprise to interested conservatives as we were warned by Iowa Congressman Peter King last year that "…the decision was made by leadership to avoid the prospect of a showdown with the president or Harry Reid that could result in a potential shutdown of government." (1)
And it was in February that John Boehner nearly suffered whiplash, ducking a reporter's question about the congressman's ObamaCare funding intentions in an upcoming budget resolution. Boehner's non-answer answer: "We are opposed to Obamacare. We have voted to repeal it. That also included $700 million in tax hikes, about $2.6 trillion in new spending. We're going to continue to take all the actions that we can to make sure that we do not ruin the best health care delivery system in the world, bankrupt our nation and, most importantly, get in the way of job creation in America."
But apparently the Speaker and his colleagues are NOT so opposed to ObamaCare or worried about job creation that they are willing to rescind the $80 billion or so earmarked for the "healthcare" law by the last congress, or the $115 billion already authorized for "additional appropriation." (2)
One hundred and twenty seven House Republicans signed a letter addressed to Boehner and Cantor by Michelle Bachman and Jim Jordan. In it they wrote, "…we urge you not to bring to the House floor in the 112th Congress any legislation that provides or allows funds to implement ObamaCare…" "We also urge you to take legislative steps necessary to immediately rescind all ObamaCare implementation funds." (3)
House leadership has the authority to legislatively package ObamaCare funding in any manner it wishes. Were they to place it with truly necessary "must pass" funding legislation, it would force Senate Democrats to make a very dodgy political decision before the election. As Congressman King puts it, Democrats would have… to "…defend Obamacare as more important than all of the rest of the functions of government combined." (1)
But once again, John Boehner and the other shining pillars of Republican resolve are intent upon snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. For although the American public is solidly in favor of Republicans defunding ObamaCare, political caution MUST take precedence over the Constitution or a congressional oath of office!
Should Obama win in November, expect Speaker Boehner to be provided round-the-clock, Secret Service protection. Barack couldn't afford anything happening to one of his most valued supporters.
