Kitchen island lighting has the opportunity to create the 'wow' factor you're looking for.
One of the first things people comment on when they walk into my kitchen is the lighting. A nod to my love of wine, two huge glass demijohns hang over the island.
Pair two glass pendant lights over the kitchen island for designer style.
When it comes to choosing kitchen island lights, I say, go big or go home!
If you're in the market for something similar, here are some of my favorites from Lamps Plus:
This huge glass chandelier is made with fifty two vintage glass bottles! It will definitely give your kitchen a 'wow' factor, while still being more understated than a crystal chandelier.
This sleek light comes complete with Edison bulbs and perfectly marries vintage and industrial styles. The rectangular shape makes it perfect for a kitchen island.
Picture two of these large lantern style pendants as the cherry hanging atop an island. The glass-less design gives these traditional lights an instant update.
Add a bit of bling with this gold foil pendant light which pairs perfectly with brass accessories or be daring and mix it with silver, pewter or bronze knobs and drawer pulls.
Glass blossoms would bring glamour to any kitchen, popping against a background of colorful cabinets.
When it comes to choosing island lighting for your kitchen, have fun with it and don't forget the fun 'wow' factor opportunity.

The country of Taiwan in Asia has been hit by Typhoon Morakot. Flooding caused chaos in many parts of the country. This man is attempting to travel through the floods on a bicycle.
These people have been rescued from their home. More than 200cm of water fell in a few hours, causing sudden floods which took people by surprise.
This baby is safe and well after being rescued from its home. The child has been carefully wrapped up to keep it dry.
Taiwan's army have been called in to help move people out of the flooded areas.
This hotel collapsed into the sea - the flood water is thought to have caused problems for its foundations. It's thought everyone managed to get out of the hotel before it collapsed.
Boats in this harbour took a battering. Typhoon Morakot is the worst storm to strike the island in more than 50 years.
This house has been completely submerged in water - you can only see the roof sticking out.
The typhoon is now heading to China, where around a million people have been moved out of their homes and away from the southern coast to safety.

Do you ever have fantasies about living in odd buildings around town? Prince's Lodge music house? The Dingle Tower? Mumford Road Bus Terminal building? In the 1970s I used to imagine living in an old factory building that was at the south east corner of Brunswick and Duke Streets.
We were just learning about the artist's lofts in New York and imagined living in a spare and bright space with a view of the Citadel and easy access to the new cinemas, clubs and shops of Scotia Square across the street. Not to mention Woolco.
My dream home was built about 1870 as the Taylor Shoe Factory. Below is what the area looked like at that time. The factory building was later doubled in size to stretch a full block towards the harbour.
By 1890 the company employed over 180 workers, 50 of them women, producing 4500 pairs of shoes a week. There was a retail shop on Granville Street and their products were marketed throughout the Atlantic Provinces and St Pierre.
In the 19th century, downtown Halifax was full of manufacturers and processors and their workers all lived within walking distance.
In my lifetime the factory building was used by the Schofield Paper Co. I took a few pictures when it was clear that my loft would remain a dream and all the buildings in that block would be torn down for the Scotia Bank Centre.
Interesting to see that the configuration of the intersection has not changed in the last 40 years.
The building was looking tired just before it was put out of its misery.
I had an opportunity to get inside as Schofield Paper was preparing to move out. It was a very basic industrial space with exposed brick walls and wooden posts and beams. The only details I recall were these worn, brass strips on the treads of a very steep staircase.
I've just tried to imagine living on the same corner today but cannot muster any enthusiasm for sweet home Scotia Bank Centre.
- My go-to book for local history is Glimpses of Halifax by Phyllis Blakeley, a former Provincial Archivist. She has this interesting note about the Taylor Shoe Company:
In March 1880 this Company established a Benefit Association to care for sick members with eighty-six members who contributed three or five cents weekly according to wage scales. When the members were ill they were paid $1.50 or $3.00 weekly for eight weeks, and half the amount for five weeks longer. Most of the men employed in the factory in 1882 earned $2.00 or $4.00 per week.
- The Taylors were not the only folks making shoes in Halifax. Blakeley also notes:
George S. Yates began the Nova Scotia Boot and Shoe Factory in a fine four story brick building on Upper Water Street. There one hundred and twenty-five operatives were employed in producing one hundred and sixty styles. Most of the goods made in this factory were sold in Mr. Yates' retail shop on George Street, but were also offered for sale in Bermuda and the West Indies.
- And no need to feel sorry for me because of my lost dream loft. In the 70s I had a very nice, funky flat above the Candy Bowl (now Roots) overlooking Spring Garden Road.

The Caxtarids were a humanoid species with metallic red eyes and hair. They were experts in the creation of living torture machines, such as the Prompter of Confessions and the Manacle of Flesh.
Preserved human eyes were considered to be trophies of high value in their culture. (PROSE: Infinite Requiem)
History Edit
Caxtarids were native to Lalande 21185 in the constellation of Ursa Major. (PROSE: Return of the Living Dad)
The Caxtarids invaded Kapteyn 5 and enslaved the Kapteynians, exterminating four of the indigenous sentient species. (PROSE: The Room With No Doors) Some Caxtarids lived on Ha'olam. (PROSE: Seeing I)
Two Caxtarids, Roze and Indigo, interrogated the Doctor on 11 December 1983. They were later discovered dead in a morgue, apparently killed by Ellen Woodworth. (PROSE: Return of the Living Dad)
The Doctor attempted to prevent a plague from wiping out the Caxtarid species (and everything else on their world with DNA) eight Lalandan years prior to Earth year 1983. The "democratic" Lalandan government had created a virus as a defence against a brewing rebellion, but the Doctor stole it. Without the government's threat of the virus, a rebellion erupted and many Caxtarids died. Roze and Indigo only barely escaped. Two Lalandan years after 1983, another rebellion provoked the Lalandan government into deploying a viral cache; the virus escaped into the wild and killed every living thing on the planet within five years. It even chewed up the hulls of the ships the Caxtarids would have used to escape. The Doctor returned, but it was too late. "History had already locked in place." (PROSE: Return of the Living Dad)
In the 30th century, Sokolovsky's albino appearance terrified a Caxtarid mercenary so badly that he got the drop on her. (PROSE: So Vile a Sin)
Fitz Kreiner once held a rock concert (with six other musicians) to break the Caxtarids' mind control on Telemahuka. (PROSE: The Year of Intelligent Tigers)

Wooden Path
Anyone who has ever tried to ford a stream by heaving huge rocks into it will surely appreciate a drier and less strenuous alternative. Enter: Wooden Path, an attractive, isometric block-shifting puzzle game about patience, spacial skills, and not getting your feet wet. All you have to do is position the wooden blocks so that they form an unbroken path from one bank to the other.
Other types of blocks will mostly get in your way, but sometimes you'll need to use them for special purposes. Colored gates must be connected by pieces of the corresponding color in order to make blockades disappear. Golden star blocks will vanish when you bring all of them in contact with each other. Some levels feature independent regions linked by teleportation, and I don't know why, but it gives me a kick to see a long chunk of bridge slide into one portal and come out the other portal rotated 90 degrees. That's just neat.
Some levels can look overwhelming at first, crammed with dozens of blocks of different types and sizes. The key is to solve individual sections of the puzzle one at a time, and tackle problems in sequence. There aren't a lot of tricks after you learn the basics—just pure, solid puzzle-solving, with the incessant twitter of birds in the background... which I'm sure is meant to be relaxing, but after about five puzzles, I was grateful for the option to silence the little darlings.
Wooden Path includes more than 50 levels, divided into two difficulty maps and a score of individual regions. Whenever you reach a new island, you get access to all the bridges connected to it, which strikes me as a really clever and gratifying method of unlocking new levels. In the end, this is just a bunch of block puzzles, but the serene setting and the long, rectangular shape of the puzzles give the game its own character. A lovely way to while away some time indoors, and this way, you don't run the risk of slipping on some wet moss and ruining your "waterproof" cell phone. Waterproof, my Aunt Bethany's kiester.

By David Futrelle
So the gamebros are up in arms about the fifth installment in the Battlefield series, Battlefield V, because the game, set in World War II, has LADIES in it, which makes it TOTALLY UNREALISTIC because there were NO LADIES in WWII, well ok maybe there were actually a bunch of ladies in WWII, some of them serving in combat even but goddammit WHY CAN'T OUR MALE SPACE BE SACRED ah bloo bloo bloo.
So anyway a bunch of these broflakes have decided to fight the female menace … by all posting the same dumb joke.

Well that's enough of that. There are more. Many, many, many more.
Even if you don't speak German I think you can probably figure out what that last one is saying.
It's always a bit amusing to me when dudes get mad about asskicking female characters in video games, claiming that these characters are "unrealistic" or "historically inaccurate." VIDEO GAMES AREN'T REALISTIC. THAT'S WHY WE LIKE TO PLAY THEM. In real life, hedgehogs mosey along through the grass at about one-billionth of a mile an hour; in video games you can play a blue hedgehog that speeds through an assortment of surreal landscapes at supersonic speeds.
In real wars, if you get shot, you fall down injured and maybe even die; in video games you can barrel ahead after being hit multiple times — and regenerate your health by hiding behind something for a few seconds.
I think these gifs say all that need to be said about the "unrealistic " complaints.

"The only way the United States could be salvaged, is to become a Protectionist State. That move would eliminate all outside the borders of the Country. The U.S. possesses everything they need from within its own borders. The expansion policy to become intertwined with other nations in worldwide trade is what has caused a part of the United States internal breakdown. The other, is that of giving away the United States wealth in foreign aid, and becoming dependent upon fossil fuel outside its own borders. Yet, the United States never needed to become a spoke in a wheel of many spokes. The repeal of strict pollution laws – because in reality – a single volcano plumes out more pollution than all of the fossil fuel powered vehicles, and the so-called pollution factories such as the old steel mills that made America strong in its hay day. Bringing back what once worked was the real key to healing the United States. But the United States government over the past years has been motivated by greed and power – power to control the other nations by either feeding them money, or the threat of nuclear destruction or military action. If mankind followed natures cycles, volcanoes would not produce something contrary to mankind's needs. What is considered as pollution to the present day structure of Society on earth would be beneficial, because it is part of the natural cycle. But mankind has altered its path from the original Divine Plan. Satan's quest to satellite the United States democracy around the globe has backfired, and now even the liberty of the United States is at stake. Satan has proven his inability to buy off or threaten nations into submission. This is the end result of Satan and mankind trying to guide their own footsteps.
However, the truth is this: The world is destined for a one-world currency – one world rule. What that foreshadows is this: When this system of Satan's is done away with, you that survive will have those things under the Righteous Rule of Christ Jesus and our Mother Israel. Satan will have his one try at making things work in a distorted mirrored reflection of what is soon to become a reality outside of his influence, because try as he might, no matter how diligent or hard he might, he will fail, and mankind cannot survive even itself without our Mother's beneficial guidance. Don't cling to what is destined to pass away. Look to the Kingdom of Christ Jesus. If you do, know that your desires – worldly desires – must change to reflect a new inheritance. "1 John 2:17 And the world with its lust is passing away, but the one who does God's will remains forever." What is the "lust"? It is for wealth, immoral sex, and a list of other things that are also contrary to what benefits your true existence that could be in harmony with our Mother's Coming Divine Plan of the Ages and on into eternity. Will you be there – because the hourglass has almost emptied – or will you be a casualty of Satan's dying world?" – Archangel Michael

She said "Write, you fool!" and I thought "What the hell, why not." But I have a bit of a problem. Fictions are fantasies, and realities are so boring. Anytime someone tries to pass of a story that can keep you entertained as reality, or a life story, etc, they're lying. The realities worth telling are in sealed or highly redacted files. The protagonists go away: bought out or "taken out" or driven insane.
This is the nature of engaging and meaningful stories: they reveal something greater and deeper about the power structures that control you (be they political, corporate, academic, romantic, artistic, or other) and thus are dangerous to someone. Someone with more power than you stands to lose something if the story is heard.
There's someone out there who would take the story as inspiration, some postmodern Robin Hood, some silly Raskolnikov, and then those people with the purse strings find some dissent to their order. To allow us to tell stories is to allow us to speak against them. Nobody wants to hear the story of Goliath beating David. The cynics (like the hero of this story) have a saying that every joke has to be at someone's expense. And it's commonly accepted that every story has to have a tension.
To create tension, there has to be a bad guy. So who's the bad guy? The big guy? Is Goliath the hero? Are they gonna let you other little men and women out there hear the stories of the ones who've beaten them in the past? Under wraps my friends. That's where they keep the stories worth telling. The power of storytelling is mighty, indeed.
That's why, with the help and prodding of a little pixie yelling from at my shoulder, I think I might have a story worth telling.
I wanna start some shit.

A while after my son died, his father asked me if I thought that it would ever really get "better" like the parents in his grief support group said it would. At the time I said I thought so , but to be honest, I wasn't sure. Actually, I didn't believe that it would at all, but I thought that sounded too pessimistic so I said sure it would.
Five years down the road now myself and that conversation is on my mind again tonight.
I'm not someone who is willing to tell anyone what they want to hear if it's not true so, in answer to "does it get better?"….
"Better" is a word that is clung to by those who are hurting and want to have hope that the pain they feel, in that moment, will go away. "Better" is an ethereal concept that, whether they admit it or not, insinuates that there is an end to grief and the pain of the loss they are feeling.
Sorry, spoiler alert here: "Better" doesn't happen like that.
If I could share anything, it would be this – let go of looking to when you won't hurt anymore. Forget about when you will have a day that you don't cry, or rage, or hate. This is with you for good; in some form or another, this will be carried by you for the rest of your life. How that looks though is different than the "Better" that we think it should look like.
Just like the good things that happen in our lives help to shape us and stay with us, so do the not-so-great experiences. Like deaths of loved ones…and that's just the way it is.
For myself, "Better" is seeing the things I have learned as the last five years have passed.
My son's death has shown me that I have a darker sense of humour than I ever thought I did and also that sometimes you do have to laugh or you'll go crazy. (There's a funny story about my son's ashes, a hard corner and a seat belt that I'll tell another time…well, I find it funny 😉 )
So, not sugar-coated and not all Pollyanna and happy, but here are my top 10 things that death and grief has shown me:
- That a heart can keep beating even after you are certain it has been destroyed.
- That you can survive what you never imagined that you could.
- That tears have no end.
- That time does not heal all wounds, but it will soften the edges of the pain.
- That grief is a tangible entity, and it is heavy.
- That even in the midst of the worst darkness, you can find something to laugh at…. sometimes,and that it's ok when you can't.
- That when you don't know how you will keep going, you will. Hope doesn't always look like we think it will, and that's all right.
- I have learned that asking "Why?" may be pointless, but you will anyways, over and over again.
- I have learned that you will never forget.
- I have learned that life does go on, and it will never be like it was…but that doesn't mean it won't or can't be good.
Bonus point 11.
I have come to understand how a person can hurt so much that they would rather just not wake up the next day. I have learned that you will be glad that you did make it through that night to see the next day. You will learn to live with the grief.

Zuni Jewelry
Bolo: 1 3/4" x 2 1/8"
Strap: 40"
Buckle: 2 1/2" x 2"
This Zuni inlay buckle and bolo tie set by Peter and Phansy Natachu is fine indeed. Using Sleeping Beauty turquoise, Mediterranean coral and Utah jet, Peter and Pansy have recreated the sun god in grand style. Clean and precise, this is Zuni work as it should be.
Jish is best described as the Navajo medicine practitioner's equivalent to a Western doctor's "little black bag". Everything needed for numerous ceremonies is painstakingly gathered over many years. Even though all the individual elements of a jish are not used in every ceremony, the complete contents are required to be present at every ceremony. Showing up with only partial contents of a jish is akin to arriving with half an ambulance. In other words, the patient is short-changed by not having the full power of the contents of a complete jish. For clarification, jish refers not only to the complete bundle, but also everything contained within that medicine bundle.
In her definitive book, Navajo Medicine Bundles or Jish, Acquisition, Transmission, and Disposition in the Past and Present, author Charlotte Frisbie writes about fetishes as a part of Changing Woman's sacred jish:
"This bundle represents Changing Woman's bundle which was brought to the Earth's surface by First Man and which was the source of all surface life. The mountain earth bundle contains earth collected from the four (or six) sacred mountains. Pollen is applied to the earth from each mountain and each is wrapped separately in unwounded buckskin and tied with buckskin thongs. A precious jewel is attached to each of the resulting pouches to indicate its directional association. Between these pouches are placed stick-like cylinders of mirage stone (aragonite), agate, and quartz. Stone figures of horses, game, and other things are also added. Then everything is covered with pollen and all of the individual pouches are wrapped in unwounded buckskin to form the bundle".
As are most fetish collectors, I was initially more familiar with Zuni fetishes and their representations. As my studies proceeded deeper into Navajo culture, the use of personal fetish pouches by Navajo people as well as their presence in jish came to my attention. Navajo people take great pride in their livestock whether they be horses, cattle, sheep or goats. Again, Charlotte Frisbie explains the "little medicine bags".
"The tiny bags for pollen are made of buckskin and usually also contain small fetishes or other items. These pollen bags, like the personal pollen sacks carried by lay Navajos, reportedly are more likely to have beadwork or other decorations than are the other small medicine sacks".
The Navajo people often call on their neighbors, the Zuni, to carve small horses, cattle, or sheep which they may carry in a little medicine bag as an added protection for their herds and flocks. While it is true that a great number of Navajo people are called upon to carve a myriad of animals for a demanding fetish market, some also follow in the tradition of providing these special protection animals for personal use.
Harold Davidson and Lee Bedonie are two of the finest Navajo fetish carvers working today. Harold likes to follow in the tradition of creating the protecting livestock figures such as sheep, goats and horses as well as the more exotic bears and bison. Lee tends toward the livestock animals, preferring donkeys, horses, goats and for fun, throws in the occasional chicken.

As someone who comes from a family with a history of mental illnesses and who has suffered from depression as well, I have read a lot of books, articles, and testimonies, not only in the first person but also from doctors and therapists. However, none had me nodding from beginning to end as this TED Talk by Andrew Solomon. The first ten minutes are particularly so accurate in giving us a panoramic view of all the different aspects of depression. I resonated with what he said about finding "there were people who seemed on the surface to have what sounded like relatively mild depression who were nonetheless utterly disabled by it." And he echoed as well many interrogations I've been struggling with: "if I have to take medication, is that medication making me more fully myself, or is it making me someone else? And how do I feel about it if it's making me someone else?"
I didn't know who Andrew Solomon was before watching this TED Talk by chance, but I did a little research and found out that the book he wrote on depression, called The Noonday Demon: An Atlas of Depression, won several awards, including the Books for a Better Life Award from the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. I haven't read it yet but I already have it here with me. I hope it's as poetic and insightful as this talk.

Rapper 2 Milly Sues Epic Games for Lifting His Dance Routine in 'Fortnite'
2 Milly, the rapper born Terrence Ferguson, has filed a copyright lawsuit against Epic Games alleging misappropriation of his dance routine in Fortnite. According to the complaint filed in California, those who play the video game can purchase highly recognizable dance emotes. 2 Milly considers this to be exploitation.
Copyright law does allow choreography to be protected, so long as works are fixed in a tangible medium of expression from which the work can be performed. The U.S. Copyright Office has provided guidance that frowns upon registration of "social dance steps and simple routines."
Nevertheless, choreography and pantomime are rarely registered, and few dance artists have ever sued for infringement.
That could be changing. The lawsuit from 2 Milly comes weeks after another rapper, Big Freedia, filed a complaint against her former choreographer.
According to the newest complaint (read here), 2 Milly only made an application for copyright registration on Tuesday — four years after he released "Milly Rock," a rap that celebrates the dance routine he says he created years earlier. The video of the song exploded in popularity and had others including Rihanna, Chris Brown and Wiz Khalifa posting on social media themselves performing the dance.
Fortnite is itself a highly popular game, which is free, but allows in-game purchases where users can customize their appearance.
"Upon information and belief, Epic creates emotes by copying and coding dances and movements directly from popular videos, movies, and television shows without consent," states the complaint. "Epic does so by coding still frames of the source material. For example, upon and information and belief, Epic coded the 'Ride the Pony' emote, frame-by-frame, from the 'Gangnam Style' dance made famous by the Korean entertainer, Psy. The Ride the Pony emote and Psy's dance are identical in every respect."
The complaint, which also includes a claim for violation of the right of publicity, details other dance emotes in the game allegedly sourced to famous routines.
"Epic has consistently sought to exploit African-American talent in particular in Fortnite by copying their dances and movements," writes Carolynn Beck, the attorney for 2 Milly. "Epic has copied the dances and movements of numerous African-American performers, including, for example, the dance from the 2004 Snoop Dogg music video, 'Drop It Like It's Hot' (named the 'Tidy' emote), Alfonso Ribeiro's performance of his famous 'Carlton' dance on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air television show (named the 'Fresh' emote), the dance performed by Will Smith on the same television show (named the 'Rambunctious' emote), the dance in Marlon Webb's popular 'Band of the Bold' video (named the 'Best Mates' emote), Donald Faison's signature dance seen on the NBC television show Scrubs (named the 'Dance Moves' emote), and, most pertinent here, Terrence Ferguson's Milly Rock dance."
2 Milly asserts his dance is known as "Swipe It" in the game. He is seeking an injunction and monetary damages.

Custom Horse Stall Mat kits are a priceless flooring solution for horse stalls. Greatmats custom sized interlocking horse mat kits can be used in stalls, stables and barn aisle ways as well as trailer floors and grooming areas. The rubber stall mats are truly versatile and won't shift or separate.
These custom horse stall mats are made of a durable 3/4 inch non-absorbent vulcanized rubber that is precision cut in the factory with an advanced water jet cutting system ensuring a seamless fit when installed over a proper base.
The custom horse mats are made in the USA with the highest quality craftsmanship. The tops of these custom sized kits feature a nonslip diamond top surface to ensure safety for humans and horses.
One large benefit of interlocking horse mats within a stall is that the tight-fitting rubber flooring is much easier to clean than non interlocking mats that shift and allow waste to get between and under the mats, causing them to buckle and separate further.
The simple installation of these mats saves hours of time and effort measuring and cutting standing rubber horse stall mats. Our custom horse stall mat kits require no adhesive for installation; their weight and interlocking edges keep the mats in place. To install, simply lay the horse stall mats down on a hard or compacted, smooth surface, and then interlock the mats together for a nearly seamless fit. Due to the custom nature of the kit, interlocking system is not universal, which is why Greatmats includes installation diagrams and instructions.
The manufacturer's 12 year warranty is prorated, so if the the manufacturer chooses to replace the mats instead of repairing them, the purchaser's cost to replace the mats increases as the mats age. For the first three years the manufacturer will replace the mats in full at no cost to the consumer! After that the cost to the purchaser is at 4 years – 10%, 5 years – 20%, … 12 years – 90% of the original cost. If the consumer notices a defect in their 12×12 stall mats, they must notify the manufacturer within 15 days.

When compiling presentations at 3am for the Scots Trad Music Awards you become very aware of the parallels between media no-how and successful genres within trad music. The likes of Gaelic song and folk bands have in the main a very good web presence and it is easy to get info (pictures, audio files) of artists when you need it. This is a great resource for newspapers, promotors etc and enables these entities to promote and engage with these scenes.
The reason I am writing this blog is more about the genres that are not doing this and the parallels with their lack of publicity/success. The areas that jumped out at me were Scots Song, Scottish Dance Bands and to a lesser extent Strathspey and Reel Societies. In my opinion these 3 genres are struggling to make any headway in encouraging folks to come out and listen, join in, buy CDs etc and while the web is not the be and end all, it is definitely a very good start to raising public profile.
It seems to me that hardly anyone is bothering to sort this side of operations out. It is very important that the scenes survive in Scottish music as they have so much to offer our culture. In my opinion we are now at the emergency stage of saving these genres and it has to come down to individuals wanting it. We need to see band leaders, singers, organisations all creating proper websites for themselves, using the likes of myspace, YouTube to get the word out. It is so easy nowadays to do this with not a lot of knowledge. I suppose though even if it did take a lot of learning we need people to get off their backsides and read a manual on how to upload to the web. There should be a whole network of Scots songs websites which possibly could be coordinated through the Traditional Music and Song Association, a network of Scottish Dance Band coordinated through the National Association of Accordion and Fiddle Clubs/ Royal Scottish Country Dance Society) sites all with photos, audio files, biogs. Lets promote these guys or they're going to disappear.
Strathspey and Reel Societies don't even have a national association which shares news between them. They have a few websites but no real unity.
In the end it has to come to down to the community – can they be bothered or are they happy for it to die out. I hope that there are folks out there that don't feel out and will embrace the opportunities that are in front of them.
I've started a discussion about this on Foot Stompin'

Homo homini lupus is Latin for "man is a wolf to man." What is this supposed to mean? Presumably that wolves kill each other exactly as do men. Or that wolves kill humans as humans kill humans. But wolves kill other wolves with great infrequency, and there are only 18 documented killings of humans by wolves around the world in the 21st century (300 in the 20th century). I don't believe anyone knows the figures of how many wolves humans have killed in that period, but it dwarfs the imagination. Nearly all of the wolves who have ever lived near humans have been routinely slaughtered until very recently.
In spite of this, writers as diverse as Thomas Hobbes (in the dedication of his work De cive), Freud (Civilization and Its Discontents) Pasternak (Dr. Zhivago) (though he could be somewhat forgiven; Russians appear to have been targeted more than any other country, though I wonder how much of this is myth), have used the phrase as if everyone knew it was true.
Nowhere has it been more bluntly stated than here:
It disturbs me no more to find men base, unjust, or selfish than to see apes mischievous, wolves savage, or the vulture ravenous.
Jean Paul Sartre
I know this is part of a larger problem with our use of language when it comes to animals (the theme of Joan Dunayer's excellent book of 2001: Animal Equality: Language & Liberation). Not a day goes by when I do not find something in the mainstream press that makes use of one or another cliché of language with respect to animals.
Today, (September 17, 2010) in The New York Times, Julie Myerson reviewing the new book by Joyce Carol Oates, Sourland, writes, "Though the men here are often described in an animal way (hairy and potent, oafishly predatory), still there is little disgust or recoil in Oates's writing. The other day, again in the New York Times, I read this by Robert Wright on "The Meaning of the Koran,": "Meanwhile, in the hadith — the non-Koranic sayings of the Prophet — the tradition arose that Muhammad had called holy war the "lesser jihad" and said that the "greater jihad" was the struggle against animal impulses within each Muslim's soul.
Just which animal impulses are we struggling against, I wonder, when most animals rarely kill their own kind, and others mainly (in fact, pretty much exclusively) for food?
But I wonder why so much of this is directed at wolves, considering that humans have probably never had any reason to fear wolves (who are shy creatures, rarely seen, who run off immediately and wisely at the sight of a human)? "The wolf is at the door," we hear. Really? When was the last time anyone saw a wolf at their door? The English writer Angela Carter claims, "the wolf is virtually synonymous with 'id', and with a particularly bestial type of ravening lust. All wolves do, to acquire this reputation, is simply be prone (if they get half a chance) to bite us. If they are not quickly stopped, they will then, as will any dog whose teeth aren't rotten, gobble you up." (Shaking a Leg, p. 308.).
There it is, recently and bluntly stated. Dogs?? I have just written The Dog Who Couldn't Stop Loving, so you will have to forgive my indignation. When was the last time you heard about a dog who had gobbled up a human person? "Dog eat dog world?" What on earth are people thinking?

Argentine peso recovering after record low against US dollar
[BUENOS AIRES] Argentina's peso was recovering on Friday after President Mauricio Macri's bid to secure accelerated IMF funding sparked two days of crashes that sent it to a record low against the dollar.
The peso recovered almost five percent on Friday to end the day at 37.98 to the dollar, as the Central Bank sold US$250 million of its reserves to put the brakes on the peso's plummet.
It had lost 20 per cent of its value over the previous two days.
The peso was trading at almost 40 to the dollar at the end of Thursday after the Central Bank hiked interest rates to 60 per cent - the highest in the world - in a desperate bid to stabilise a currency in freefall since Mr Macri revealed the day before he had asked the International Monetary Fund to advance the remainder of an agreed US$50 billion loan.
An initial US$15 billion tranche was released by the IMF when the three-year stand-by loan was agreed in June, with another US$3 billion due next month.
Your feedback is important to us
Tell us what you think. Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com
Part of that first installment was meant to help shore up the peso, but that backfired after Mr Macri's announcement as the crisis in investor confidence deepened.
"It is now unclear if that will be enough to stabilize the government's finances amid persistent reserve drain," said Europe-based Deutsche Bank analyst Jim Reid.
Argentina's currency has lost more than 50 per cent of its value against the dollar since the start of 2018, when the rate was 18 to one.
Inflation over the last 12 months is at around 30 per cent.
"It's a worrying situation, our salaries have lost 15 per cent of their value," said 46-year-old bank employee, Monica Vaccaro.
Finance Minister Nicolas Dujovne is heading to Washington next week to "continue to progress" talks with the IMF on "additional disbursements in 2019."
The IMF released a statement saying its "goal is to rapidly conclude these talks and submit the revised economic plan to the Executive Board."
Chief spokesman Gerry Rice said the IMF was "confident that the strong commitment and determination of the Argentine authorities will help the country overcome the current difficulties."
Argentina isn't out of the water yet, according to independent researchers Capital Economics, who released a report warning that "investor confidence is fragile."
And it said that if the "government fails to deliver a convincing austerity plan on Monday" that would be a "trigger for further falls in the peso."
Macri's request had seen the peso lose almost 7.0 per cent on Wednesday and when it opened on Thursday down another 4.0 per cent, the Central Bank decided to intervene, pledging to keep interest rates at 60 per cent until December at least.
But that measure didn't stop the fall as the peso ended the day down 13.5 per cent.
On Friday, the S&P ratings agency placed Argentina's short- and long-term credit ratings under review for a possible downgrade.
Although it praised Macri's efforts to "stabilize the economy through difficult austerity measures," it said that "recent pressure on the Argentine currency could jeopardize the effective implementation of economic adjustment measures."
Cabinet Chief Marcos Pena had tried to downplay the crash, saying: "We are not facing economic failure.
"This is a transformation, not failure. In that transformation there are difficult moments."
The peso crash did at least have a positive impact on markets, though, with the Merval index on the Buenos Aires stock market jumping 5.34 per cent by close on Thursday on the back of strong performances in the petroleum sector, notably by Brazilian giant Petrobras.
Macri's government has committed to reducing its budget deficit to 2.7 per cent this year, from 3.9 per cent in 2017, and to 1.3 per cent of GDP next year in return for IMF support.
Speaking on Thursday at the opening of the Council of the Americas business chamber in Buenos Aires, Pena blamed Argentina's economic woes on the free-spending policies of Macri's predecessor, Cristina Kirchner and her left-wing government.
Deutsche Bank's Reid says Argentina is managing its "currency crisis in a more conventional manner" now with the central bank raising interest rates "to the highest in the world."
But he said IMF disbursements could lead to "a tighter fiscal deficit target," which could in turn provoke more currency fluctuations.

Bella's first hair cut was similar in many ways - but also drastically different. Billy was at work and I had the itch to get my own hair cut, so I decided to bite the bullet and get Bella's mop under control. You can see why:
Kati is way out in California, so I enlisted Amber to help me. She kept Bella entertained until it was cuttin' time. I thought Bella would enjoy sitting up on the block, but we all know she's a baby who wants to be on the ground running wild. She sat quietly for the first half-minute ... after that, we were on borrowed time.
Ramona, her hair cutter, trimmed about an inch off her bang area but left the rest of her headful of curls intact. Unlike after Javi's first hair cut, Bella still looked very much like a little baby after it was over. I remember thinking Javi looked like a 6 year old after his first cut!
Doesn't she look happy? Her daddy hasn't seen it yet, so hopefully he won't think the bangs are too short. Now that several hours have passed, they've begun to curl again and blend in better with the rest of her hair. I think it's adorable - and that's what counts!

Please don't try and kill me, I'm sorry, I just can't help it. I'm inpatient, I can't wait, I need to know whether thing will be better or worse and sometimes, the ending actually encourages me to read a book I may have dismissed otherwise, but it's a shocking confession none the less. Now, I guess the big questions is, why do I do it? Erm, well, actually, there's a number of reasons why I like to read the last page or two of a novel before I finish it and while some of these reason may be excusable, you will no doubt still dislike me for it, but here goes.
1. I Need To Know Whether To Continue: This is possibly the biggest reason why I will read the last few pages of a book before I've finished it, because lets be honest, how many times have you read a book only to find that the ending stinks and that it didn't get better? Probably a handful right? I don't tend to make that mistake often because of this weird crazy habit. If the last few pages sound rubbish, chances are, the book didn't improve, it really just carried on it's spiral, but sometimes, for example, the most recent of reads to fall victim to this habit, Noughts and Crosses, it actually encourages me to continue the book, (I will at some point, promise) because I wonder 'how the hell does that end up happening?', 'really, that's how she ends it, why?' and sometimes even 'woah there, woah..' and this can result in me finishing books that prove to be worthwhile. I don't do this with all books, I definitely didn't do it with We Were Liars or The Hunger Games, neither have I done it with Percy Jackson or Skulduggery, but I do use the habit when I'm a little, unsure continuing or not and 9 times out 10, it helps.
2. I Need A Positive Ending: This kind of compliments, if you could call it that, my bad habit of searching for spoilers because sometimes, I just need to know that everything will be fine, then I can read these books, and enjoy the reading and not feel all the negative emotions like 'OMG are they going to die?' or 'I can't finish it, it's too sad' because I know things will be good, I know it'll end well and all that pain will be worth it. I think some good recent examples of this were Into the Still Blue and Shadow Kiss. When it came down to Into the Still Blue, I was struggling to get into it, so it was both a mixture of reason one and this one, but after I read those last pages, I was pleased that I would get my happy ending, or at least, most of one, and it gave me the encouragement I needed to continue. I didn't spoil myself, not really, but it helped. Same goes for Shadow Kiss, things were looking doom and gloom and I wasn't enjoying much, and I already knew about Dimitri anyway, I mean, come on, how could I NOT know?, so I read the last few pages and let me tell you, that line - '..of the kill the man I love..', it had me sold, I pushed through and continued the series. Damn, that series..
3. I Lack Patience: This is one of the worst reasons for this terrible habit, but honestly, I'm so impatient it's scary. I can't read through 500+ pages for you tell me something I can skip to and read in five minutes, you can't, it's unfair, it's illogical, it's- probably very normal for all of you, but once again, this is part of my spoiler issue. This happened with Dark Days and Darquese; I mean, I'd guessed it as much, but I read the final pages of that book before reaching half way, merely because I was impatient, I didn't need to know the ending for happiness, I was certain I would continuing, I just couldn't wait. I think I've done this a few times.. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was another one, I just- how can you expect me wait for the ending of that, really?! Funny fact, when I read Deathly Hallows, I actually read the final third, then the first third, then second and then third again, just because I couldn't wait. Yes, it made it a little confusing but man was I happy with that ending, all the points to Rowling!
4. Because It's Just There: Tell me something, have you ever not been tempted to just flip to the back and read the ending you've finally been waiting for, have you? Because I have, of course you have, hence the post Amanda, jeez.., and it's really hard to resist. It's literally there, right there, in your hands, you literally just have to move your hands a little and read, it's that easy, it's there, how do you resist? I struggle, honestly, it's just so tempting! I did manage to resist reading the end of Dying of the Light, jesus, that series killed me, but generally, like Sweet Reckoning, or The Night Circus, I just couldn't and I read it and yes, it did change the ending, but it didn't change my feelings. I still read the book, I just, cheated a little..

Business Card for: Alan Pun
An Interactive Business Card? It reads: "I can help [your name here] stand out online"
You can scribble down the name of the person you are giving the card to. The idea came from myself asking "what if I can make a business card that is personal for the person receiving it as well as myself?" The other person is surely going to remember the card with his/her own name on it!

It's Tuesday and we are back with more #TTOTW so let's get right to it!
Our term for this week is Analog to Digital Converter or ADC. Now for the newer generation this may seem like something that wouldn't even exist anymore. But the fact is that analog to digital conversion is a process that is still around and still relevant. Since computers only process digital information, they require digital input or a systen by which digital input is capable. An ADC is defined by its bandwidth and its signal-to-noise ratio. Typically the digital output is a two's complement binary number that is proportional to the input, but there are other possibilities.
One of the most popular uses for ADC is to convert analog video to a digital format. For example VHS to DVD or Blu-Ray.
That's for this week of Tech Terms of the Week. See you next Tuesday for another!

While most of us spend our morning commute yawning, screeching incorrect song lyrics, or complaining, the humble podcast has been going from strength to strength in terms of making early morning dreams come true.
They're quite possibly the best thing you can listen to first thing (apart from your boss telling you you've the day off) and after tucking into some of these, you'll wonder how you've gone on so far without them.
My Dad Wrote A Porno is exactly what it says on the tin. Jamie Morton, James Cooper and BBC Radio 1's Alice Levine present an 18-part series in which they talk about Morton's Dad's pornographic novel.
The podcast itself is achingly funny and is for sure to leave you actually excited for your next commute, as you can tuck in to this comedy genius once more.
2. An Irishman Abroad
Famed Irish comedian and all-round good guy Jarlath Regan began An Irishman Abroad in 2013, interviewing Irish (first and second generation) people every week about their lives and insights into the Irish way of thinking. It boasts countless movers and shakers such as Dara O'Briain, Brian O'Driscoll, Deirdre O'Kane, Sonia O'Sullivan and many, many more.
The Guardian gave it high praise, and even went as far as saying: ''Quite frankly, every single young person reading this should go download this podcast and listen to it every week for the rest of time.''
3. TED Radio Hour
A no brainer. For those of you not familiar with TED Talks, the nonprofit organisation is devoted to giving people platforms on which they can vocalise ideas worth spreading.
They can be deep, thought provoking and wholly inspirational, and a pleasure to listen to in every sense. They cover an unbelievably broad spectrum and can be seen as the definition for food for thought.
4. Graham Norton by BBC 2
One of Ireland's greatest exports, Graham Norton, shows us that he isn't just a pretty face after all as he graces the audio world with his wildly entertaining presence we've come to know and love so well.
In this series, Graham teams up with the effortlessly lovely Maria McErlane and explores music with a vibrant mix of celeb guests. They end each show with a Grill Graham section, an agony Aunt type scenario in which he dishes out stellar advice with a comedic twist.
5. Jamie's Ministry Of Food Recipes
In the 2008 TV miniseries of the same name, Jamie Oliver embarked on a noble quest to encourage the production and consumption of healthy eating amongst the people of Rotherham, England.
Leaving behind in its legacy, an excellent series of video podcasts, in which Oliver guides viewers through ten simple recipes; ranging from an omelette to meatballs to banana tarte tatin.
The best bit? They're all explained in the no-nonsense, easy to follow for which Jamie is famous. Perfect for quick, easy evening dishes.
6. The Football Ramble
The Football Ramble kicked things off (pun intended) in 2007, with a quartet of spirited, learned and quick-witted football fans, including the Absolute radio presenter Pete Donaldson and the stand-up comic Jim Campbell.
The series has only grown more enticing year on year, providing a weekly fix of global soccer news, paired with in-depth analysis. The podcast itself manages to be both refreshingly funny and impressively informative, no mean feat.
7. The Naked Scientists
Created and co-presented by a Cambridge-based virologist called Dr Chris Smith, The Naked Scientist is a brilliant, long-running podcast which manages to explain the most prominent scientific ideas and breakthroughs of our time with clarity, wit, and a refreshing lack of scientific jargon.
Such questions discussed have been: 'Would you die if you were swallowed by a whale?', 'What causes us to see stars?' and 'Why do we have toenails?' to name a few.
8. Stuff You Should Know
Another one for the knowledge lovers, Stuff You Should Know is a podcast hosted by Josh Clark and Charles W 'Chuck' Bryant, both writers at from HowStuffWorks.com.
The brainy duo pose some of life's more important questions, such as 'Could you outrun an alligator in a zig-zag?', 'Why do men have nipples?' and 'Who gets to name continents?' The podcast is consistently ranked in the top 10 on iTunes.
9. Song Exploder
Song Exploder is a bi-weekly music based podcast, hosted and produced by Hrishikesh Hirway. It invites successful and esteemed musicians to break down the creative process of an individual song of theirs, beat-by-beat, while deconstructing the song into its component parts.
Such songs highlighted on the program have ranged from pop to hardcore punk to even television theme songs, leaving no experimental stone unturned.
10. Buzzfeed's Another Round
Another Round is the brainchild of two wildly intelligent BuzzFeed writers Tracy Clayton and Heben Nigatu.
The articulate duo talk everything from race and gender, to pop culture and squirrels, and everything that means anything to them. It's witty, thought-provoking and effortlessly powerful. They also have a 'Drunken Debate' segment which will cause you to fall head over heels for the two of them, due to... well, knowing exactly how they feel.
11. The 738am Podcast
The 738am podcast is an interview based show, hosted by Andrew Mangan, featuring creatives from the world of arts, entertainment, literature and media in Ireland, and beyond. The interviews are less stuffy and formal and more like a genuine, interesting chat.
One of the rare occasions where it's a very pleasant listen even if you don't know the guest.

Team Week: Liz & Marty
One of our favorite things is learning how our Rebelles team up. Some have been friends forever, some are related, and some start out as total strangers. And while we can't always guarantee an ideal partnership in that last situation, we're always stoked when they do happen to work out. Case in point: Liz McLaughlin and Marty Lawrence from Team BLTN, #206! And while they won't tell you what their team name means, they do encourage you to guess. 😉
These two Rebelles met online in one of the prepping groups and made the decision to compete together. Rounding out our Crossover Class, these two will be competing in a Subaru Outback – our first Subaru in the Rebelle! With their diverse backgrounds and enthusiasm for the off-road world, together they are an unstoppable duo in the desert – or wherever the road ends!
Born in Rainier, Oregon, Liz McLaughlin now resides in Rainier, Oregon. One of her biggest interests is vehicles and learning how to drive them. New to the Rebelle, she is most looking forward to experiencing this adventure with the other fabulous women competing. What she is most nervous about is the driving and navigating!
Marty Lawrence is from Phippsburg, Maine but is currently living in Athens, Georgia. Although she is now retired, she used to work as an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. In her free time she likes to stay active and enjoys running, cycling, swimming, and exploring. While she has had too many adventures to pick one as the best, she considers anything outside with her family a great one.
While she is new to the Rebelle, what appeals about it to her is the opportunity to off-road with other women on this adventure, knowing that it will be some "dusty, off-road fun!" She is most looking forward to the challenge of driving with non-electronic navigation in desert environment, making new friends, and camping under the starlight. And while there are many things to be excited about in the Rebelle, she is nervous about the many new challenges she will face, and like everyone else, getting cranky in the desert. But with her must-have gear of a good sense of humor, we know she'll be just fine! She lives her life by two mottos: "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" and "all you need is love" – we couldn't agree more!

Rudy Baum's editorial "None Too Bright" was right on target regarding the problem of antibiotic resistance development in the intestinal microflora of farm animals fed with growth-promoting levels of antibiotics (C&EN, June 6, page 5).
In the late 1960s, I was principal investigator of a Department of Agriculture-funded pilot study on chlortetracycline resistance in enteric microorganisms in chickens and swine at Battelle Memorial Institute.
The results of this study clearly indicated statistically significant increases in the chlortetracycline-resistant bacteria in the enteric flora of those animals fed with this antibiotic over the numbers of resistant bacteria present initially and over those in separately housed control animals. Furthermore, chlortetracycline resistance was transferred from a resistant strain of Escherichia coli isolated from chickens to a sensitive strain of the intestinal pathogen Salmonella typhimurium in gnotobiotic (germ-free) mice.
These results were presented in a seminar at the USDA Beltsville Agricultural Research Center that was attended by both USDA and Food & Drug Administration scientific staff members who agreed that this was a start but further action was needed. A follow-up paper was presented at the 1970 annual meeting of the Society for Industrial Microbiology and was published in "Developments in Industrial Microbiology" (Washington, D.C.: American Institute of Biological Sciences, 1971, Vol. 12, 376–391).
Numerous studies since that time have shown the importance, from a public health standpoint, of the rise of antibiotic-resistant pathogenic bacteria in the environment. Why has nothing been done after more than 40 years? As Baum points out, although the European Union has banned such uses of antibiotics, FDA has waffled on taking any action, undoubtedly owing to the influence of politically powerful agribusiness interests. Do we have to await a public health crisis before taking action on this problem?

FORT WORTH (CBSDFW.COM) – A conceptual agreement has been reached in the Dallas Police & Fire Pension Fund negotiations.
CBS11 broke the news on Facebook Live Tuesday night during a panel discussion with major players in the City of Dallas.
Dallas City Council Member Jennifer Staubach Gates, Former Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert, Dallas Police Association President Mike Mata, Rob Walters with the Dallas Citizens Council and Sherrie Wilson with the Dallas Retired Firefighter Association.
"We need to put the tourniquet on this and the tourniquet is this pension resolution because as long as I can keep the ones I have from leaving, we can work on getting them over here."
"We've got to hire a lot of different officers for the police and fire departments," said Leppert. "They've got to have some assurance the pension is going forward as well as competitive salaries in the long-term."
Facebook Live
No one is 100 percent happy with the deal as no one will get all they want out of it.
Benefits are being cut and pension fund contributions are going up.
But the changes being discussed now will allow for a pension system to remain in place.
"I'm hopeful," said Gates. "It's not a done deal yet. We have to go back to our council tomorrow and present and lay out what the new options are."
"I represent a lot of retired firefighters and I'm standing inside a lot of happiness for them, not only for myself, but for them," said Wilson.
Last week the Texas House unanimously (132-0), passed its bill to save the Dallas Police and Fire Pension Fund.
State Representative Dan Flynn, R-Canton, is chairman of the House Pension Committee.
He led the measure through the House, and after the vote he said this is about helping the ten thousand police officers and firefighters and their families.
"We're going to protect them," said Rep. Flynn. "We have an obligation to do that I believe."
