hot potato
A sensitive situation or controversial issue that is difficult to handle and thus gets passed from one person to the next (like a potato that is too hot to hold). The political candidate knew the issue was a hot potato, so he deferred to his chief of staff, who directed questions to the committee chairperson.
hot potato
A problem so controversial and sensitive that it is risky to deal with. For example, Gun control is a political hot potato. This term, dating from the mid-1800s, alludes to the only slightly older expression drop like a hot potato, meaning "to abandon something or someone quickly" (lest one be burned). The idiom alludes to the fact that cooked potatoes retain considerable heat because they contain a lot of water.
a hot potato
COMMON If a subject or problem is a hot potato, it is very difficult to deal with, especially because it is something that people argue about a lot. When she is faced with a political hot potato such tightening the gun laws, she is not afraid to give her opinion. Pricing policy is another hot potato.
a hot poˈtato(informal) a very sensitive matter that is difficult or embarrassing to deal with: His resignation is a political hot potato.

Keyar, the President of the Producer's council addressed a burning issue in our industry at the audio launch of Ennamo Nadakkadhu. Keyar said there were namely three associations - Producers Council, Producer's council Guild and the Film Chamber of Commerce to register movie titles.
Some people are registering titles at the Guild and Chamber of Commerce because charges are less there and then after registering the title, they wait fo the right oppurtunity to create an issue over the title being similar to their and use it to blackmail money from the big producers. For example incase of Ivan Vera Mathiri just days before release of this movie, some group registered a title Ivan Oru Mathiri to blackmail the producers for a sum of 7-8 lakhs to change the title.
This situation should change and proper regulations must be made said Keyar. he also added that they are working on joint action committee to sort out of the issue.

Compression molding is a rubber manufacturing process that starts with mixed raw material or a special rubber compound. The compound material is either cut or weighed, or a pre-form is created. The pre-forms take the basic shape of the final product. Since the material is compressed between parts of a cavity, more material is required than will be in the end product. This ensures the entire cavity of the rubber mold is filled with compound when the custom rubber product is created.
Stern Rubber Company uses natural or synthetic rubbers (elastomers) that are compounded with additives to meet design use specifications and/or ease of processing. The compounded rubber, more technically a thermal set elastomer (TSE) is cut, weighed or extruded into a pre-form of greater volume than the finished part will be.
The pre-forms, at ambient temperature, are then loaded into each cavity of the open compression mold which has been preheated. The tool is closed and placed under the clamping pressure of the press as the pre-form is squeezed into the cavity shape.
Heated platens on the press help maintain mold temperature as the molded rubber parts are given time to crosslink. The molded parts are removed from the tool and allowed to cool to ambient temperature before deflashing or final inspection.

Adrian Paci: The Column
- When 7 Jan - 13 Feb 2016
- Where
Cnr Oxford St & Greens Rd Paddington
An epic video installation by internationally acclaimed Albanian artist Adrian Paci.
Albanian artist Adrian Paci explores some of the huge themes of the 21st century, such as globalisation, migration and exploitation.
Trained as a realist painter in the Albanian capital Tirana, Paci started to shoot photos and moving image only in the late 1990s, when Albania underwent a dramatic phase of political turmoil and he fled to Milan. His films respond to collective histories of contemporary humankind. Featuring the people whose stories they tell, they reveal how identity is conditioned by social and economic circumstances.
The Column traces the epic journey of an immense length of marble, extracted from the ground and taken to sea. En route from China to Italy and over the course of a grand voyage, workers toil to chisel and carve the block of marble into the shape of a classical column.
"The concept for The Column was born from this exasperated economic strategy, whereby time must be condensed to the point in which delivery coincides with production… The Column has its roots in a poetic intuition: an idea in search of form will only be able to develop at a distance from its origins, much like commercial goods are increasingly conceived in one place and manufactured in another through the elaborate and methodical exploitation of cheap labour, seen, in this case, on-board 'sweatshop ships'" (Adrian Paci)
The exhibition at UNSW Galleries is The Column's Australian premiere. The project was originally created for the Galerie Nationale du Jeu de Paume in Paris, and was subsequently exhibited at the 2014 Venice Architecture Biennale and Busan Biennale, and in 2015 at the Architectural Association in London.
This exhibition also includes two other works by Paci that speak to urgent issues of our time. Centro di Permanenza Temporanea is a dream-like, cinematic vignette that evokes the hopelessness felt by refugees as they attempt to travel between countries, while Turn On prompts us to reflect upon our resource-intense lifestyles. The return of Turn On to Australia exactly a decade after it was installed in the 2006 Sydney Biennale is a fitting reminder of how little progress has been made on environmental policy in that time.
Presented by UNSW Galleries in association with the Sydney Festival.

Barely There Swimwear @ FashionTV Summer Festival - Bikini Models - Mama...
http://youtube.com/FashionTV MAMAIA - The FashionTV Summer Festival was in Mamaia, Romania this year, and it began with an haute couture swimwear show by famous Romanian designer Catalin Botezatu. The presentation featured a detailed and beautiful collection where the male models came out with wings and the female models were exquisitely done up to look like elves, the theme of the collection, while still presenting the gorgeous "barely-there" swimwear. Models had hair twisted up atop the head in coils, beads along the brow, and glittery makeup. Some wore massive metallic capes. Catalin Botezatu really outdid himself this time.

Undertook to decide on this weighty affair;
The audience were struck with a world of surprise To find that a fool could give counsel so wise. The .judges themselves the sentence espoused. And freely consented that John should be soused.
John finding that matters had took a wrong turn, Not waiting to-see if the court would adjourn. Sneaked out of the house, with a hiss of disgrace,In dread test the sentence should quickly take place, Grown pliant at last, his cause he withdrew— His plea was so bad and his friends were so few; It was needless, he thought on the cast of a die To venture his life for the sake of an eye. And concluded 'twas better to give up the suit, Than risk the one left, and be smothered to boot.
A FABLE. (hcmfbbeys.)
A Man who own'd a barber's shop
It chane'd, in shop the dog and cat,
Nor yet wastir'd, our roguish elf:
Drew razor swift as he could pull it,
Who cannot write, yet handle pens. Are apt to hurt themselves and friends, Tho' others use them well, jet fools Should never meddle with edge-tools.
Don't you see that as how» I'm a sportsman in style,
All so kickish so slim and so tall: Why I've search'd after game, and that many's the mile,
And seed ho bit of nothing at all:
And I pelts through the wind and the rain;
Leaves the bridle, and holds by the mane, To be sure dad at home kicks up no little strife, But daddy what's that, en't it fashion and life?
At sporting I never was known for to lag,
1 was always in danger the first; When at Epping last Easter they turn'd out the stag
I'm the lad that was roll'd tn the dust.
There a little beyond Dulwich Common,
And two mudlarks, besides an old woman;
But don't go for to think I neglects number one—
Often when my companions with ardour,
I goes and I hunts in the larder:
Or finds puss as she sits under cover,
And when I have dined, and fed Rover, Pays my landlord's shot, as I ogles his wife, While the daughter cries out—lord! what fashion and life!
Then I buys me some game, all as homeward we
J°S< And when the folks ax how I got 'em, Tho' I shooted but once, and then kill'd the poor dog I swears, and then stands to 't, that I shot 'em. So jcome round me ye sportsmen, that's smart and what not, All stylish and cutting a flash; When your piece won't kill game charg'd with powder and shot, To bring 'em down, down with your cash; And if with their jokes and theirjeers folks are rife, Why dabby, says you, e'nt it fashion and life?
There liv'd as fame reports, in days of yore,
A pleasant wight on town, yclep'd Tom King,
In short, for strokes of humour, quite the thing.
To many a jovial club this King was known,
Choice spirit, grave free-mason, buck and blood, Would croud, his stories awl ban mots to hear, And none a disappointment e'er could fear,
His humour flow'd in such a copious flood.
To him a frolic was a high delight—
A frolic he would hunt for day and night,
Careless how prudence on the sport might frown. If e'er a pleasant mischief sprang to view, *. At once o'er hedge and ditch away he flew,
Nor left the game till he had run it down.
One night, our hero, rambling with a friend, Near fam'd St. Giles's chane'd his course to bend,
Just by that spot, the Seven Dials height; 'Twas silence all around and clear the coast, The watch, as usual dozing on his past,
And scarce a lamp display'd a twinkling light.
Around this place, there liv'd the num'rousclans Of honest, plodding, foreign artizans,
Known at that time by the name of refugees— The rod of persecution, from their home, Compell'd the inoffensive race to roam. And here they lighted like a swarm of bees.
Well! our two friends were saunt'ring through the
street, In hopes some food for humour soon to meet, . When, in a window near, a light they view; And, though a dim and melancholy ray. It seem'd the prologue to some merry play, So tow'rds the gloomy dome our hero drew.
Strait at the door he gave a thund'ring knock, (The time we may suppose near two o'clock)
'I'll ask.' says King, 'if Thompson lodges here'— 'Thompson." cries t'other, • who the devil's he?' '1 know not,' King replies, 'but want to see
What kind of animal will now appear.'

'And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.' Romans 8:28(NLT)
My friend, as long as you're with Christ,whatever you might be passing through,please don't give up. No matter how dark it is, the dawn will break. Just believe!
Remember, as believers,we walk by faith and not by sight(reference: 2 Corinthians 5:7), so, no matter what negative messages that the happenings around you seem to be relaying, hold tightly to what the Lord says instead. See it this way, you are on your way to a glorious place and different landscape dot the way, some good, some bad, but whatever appears doesn't change where you are going to. With God, you will always end up well
Please take note of his words to the exiles in Jeremiah 29:11; as his beloved, see him also as having the best of thoughts towards you and believe him strongly for a glorious hope and a brilliant future!
It is however very important that you stand for him and love with all your heart always, only then will all things work together for good. In addition, pray in the Holy ghost and study more of his words for motivation. All will be well!
Stay motivated and blessed!

In Memory of Fr Declan Deane
Categories: News
Fr Declan Deane, a former lecturer and student at the Irish School of Ecumenics, passed away this week of cancer. Fr Deane was serving at Christ the King Church in Pleasant Hill, California.
A native of Dublin, he grew up on Achill Island and was ordained a Jesuit in 1972. He was one of the first students to enrol on the Irish School of Ecumenics' programme in Dublin. During the 1980s he lived as a Jesuit in Portadown and taught on the Irish School of Ecumenics' Adult Education course in Northern Ireland.
Fr Deane immigrated to the US in 1992 and worked in five parishes before his death. A memorial on the Christ the King webpage describes him this way:
Despite his struggle with esophageal cancer, despite his being first on chemo and then a seven month hospice patient, Declan steadily did more and more rather than less and less. He continued to take his turn at weekly confessions; he returned to weekday masses especially with our school children, including the classroom preparation that went with that. Just a few short days before his death, he preached at all six weekend masses, concelebrated three and was outside greeting and visiting with parishioners for all the masses. To that he added the Monday morning mass and two days with visits to school and classrooms. To those who advised him to slow down and do less, his response was , "that is the way I want to be remembered" and "when I promise I'm going to do something and be somewhere, I always do it".
Fr Deane is remembered fondly by many colleagues and former students.

AIG, American International Group, offers Travel Guard travel insurance at prices at or below the average of the top agencies we reviewed. Its maximum payouts are below average for most of the common conditions, but it offers reimbursement for cancellations due to financial default. It offers concierge and other services over the phone, but the online interface and website are outdated and difficult to use. If this is an important feature for you, Seven Corners is a company with a user-friendly online interface.
AIG's website lists insurance plans for a wide variety of trip types, but we found that some of the specialty plans were just the regular plans renamed. You can use the online quote system from the home page to get the plan information you need. However, the quote request interface was difficult to navigate, and you'll need to drill down to get to a download of the policy itself. There is no online method for filing claims, nor is there information on the type of paperwork you need to supply. Overall, we found the online interface of this agency the worst of those we evaluated.
Pricing varied not only by age of insured and plan, but also by your state of residence. It was the only trip insurance company with such a large state variation; with other agencies, only age had an effect on prices. On average, the prices were slightly below average, even with state variation.
The insurance coverage itself is at or just below average compared to the other top agencies we considered. The maximum payouts are smaller - $25,000 for medical expenses as opposed to $100,000 for most of the carriers, for example. However, they are still adequate for most situations. In addition, this agency can cover you if your carrier or tour company goes into financial default; not all trip insurance agencies do this.
AIG can advance you hospital fees to ensure you get care, assists, but does not pay for, replacing lost prescriptions, and can arrange medical evacuation in emergencies. This insurance offers a rental policy for vehicles.
A useful extra benefit is identity theft assistance to help you obtain credit report records so you can keep track of issues with your credit rating that may result from your ID or credit cards being stolen on vacation. The agents can also help you replace lost or stolen medications, but the insurance does not reimburse you for the costs.
AIG has 24/7 assistance from translators and concierge services that can help with sending flowers to someone, lining up tickets to events, arranging for tee time at golf courses and more.
AIG's travel insurance premiums were among the cheapest we priced, but the amount of coverage was also somewhat lower. Nonetheless, they are sufficient for most situations you may encounter while on vacation, and this vacation insurance agency also includes rental insurance and insurance against cancellation due to financial default.

I've often wondered why so many contemporary artists seem to exhibit signs of OCD in their work. Admittedly, I am neither an art critic nor a psychologist, but this "diagnosis" springs to mind whenever I see work in which the artist has spent countless hours reiterating a single motif.
One case in point: the recent Charles LeDray exhibit (workworkworkworkwork) at the ICA in Boston. I mean, what does making thousands of itsy-bitsy ceramic vessels (each one unique) say about the artist's mental state? The LeDray show brought to mind an overstock sale in a dollhouse supplier's warehouse.
So I was primed to slap the same OCD label on Ai Weiwei, the Chinese artist responsible for the ill-fated installation of 100 million (!) hand-painted porcelain sunflower seeds at the Tate Modern in London this fall. The exhibit hall was quickly cordoned off after concerns were raised about the respiratory dangers from the silica dust kicked up when visitors walked through the seeds. Reading about this snafu in the New York Times, I initially thought Ai had merely one-upped LeDray in the "miniature ceramics taken to extremes" contest.
But then I watched Ai's "making of" video and was by turns intrigued and charmed by his creative process and its result. I've watched the 14-minute video several times now, and its effect is as hypnotic as the questions it raises about work, tradition, community and art are profound.

text: Every Christmas many lapsed Catholics show up for Mass and the churches are packed to standing room only for any late arrivers. This is a yearly phenomena. Now, the Catechism of the Catholic Church states this teaching: "The Sunday Eucharist is the foundation and confirmation of all Christian practice. For this reason the faithful are obliged to participate in the Eucharist on days of obligation, unless excused for a serious reason." Therefore, deliberately skipping the Sunday Mass is a serious sin. I believe that all priests have the obligation to explain this before giving out Holy Communion at Christmas Masses. Those who are not in a state of grace can always go up to receive a blessing. Paul in 1 Corinthians 11 wrote, "Whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily will have to answer for the body and blood of the Lord. A person should examine himself, and so eat the bread and drink the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body, eats and drink judgment on himself." In view of the seriousness of receiving Holy Communion, we owe all receivers the explanation for their benefit. It is completely wrong to think that you should not offend any lapsed Catholics in hoping that they would return to the church. Our only concern should be to make sure that the Lord God is not offended!

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Robinson Cano is no longer a Yankee, yet we're still talking about his giddy-up — or lack thereof — to first base.
"If somebody told me I was a dog, I'd have to fix that," Yankees hitting coach Kevin Long told the New York Daily News on Sunday. "When you choose not to, you leave yourself open to taking heat, and that's your fault. For whatever reason, Robbie chose not to."
Long said several members of the Yankees tried to talk to Cano about his habit of giving up on a base hit.
"We all talked to him," he said. "I'm pretty sure (Derek) Jeter talked to him a number of times. Even if you run at 80 percent, no one's going to say anything. But when you jog down the line, even if it doesn't come into play 98 percent of the time, it creates a perception."
Cano signed a 10-year, $240 million deal with the Seattle Mariners this offseason. Long said the 31-year-old second baseman was "becoming a leader" in the Yankees' locker room after overcoming issues with his "swing," "makeup" and "body composition" early in his career.
"But he just wouldn't make that choice to run hard all the time," Long said. "The reasons aren't going to make sense. He might say his legs didn't feel good, or he was playing every day and needed to save his energy. To me there was no acceptable answer."

I have to go up to Boston again this morning so everyone is up early and getting in the car shortly. I managed to make time for breakfast though thanks to some good planning last night!
Breakfast was nothing fancy, just had a bowl of fruit & nut granola with skim milk and a banana but if I didn't eat now I am not sure when I would be able to eat so something quick is always better than nothing at all! I would love to spend the day in Boston but I am going to head home because I'll be going out again later to get my hair done (I am way over-due for this). Poor Will is going to get dragged around a little this week because there is a lot going on and he has no daycare but on the days we don't have anything going, we'll stick close to home because I need him rested for his big birthday/Halloween weekend ahead! I hope everyone had a great weekend and is ready to get back to work today!

If you're seeing strange black streaks on your roof shingles, you'll be glad to know it isn't necessarily a sign of expensive roof repairs in your future. You'll also be glad to know that it's not mold! "Roof mold", as it's commonly called, is actually a particular type of blue-green algae.
You might notice that the algae is growing mostly on the North side of your home. This is because that side of your roof doesn't get nearly as much sun, which would dry up the algae naturally. Instead, this section of your roof stays damp and partially shaded all day— the perfect conditions for scum to spread.
Regardless of what it actually is and why it's there, the problem is that it's ugly and it can actually lead to more serious (and costly) roof problems. So before the moisture starts working its way beneath the shingles and into the structure of your roof, follow these steps and nip this thing in the bud.
You'll need to spray the affected area with a Zinc Sulfate chemical solution. You can make your own solution from 5 parts water and one part Zinc powder. You could also head down to your home improvement store and take your pick from the variety of products designed to handle this task, but this option is far more expensive.
*Do not, and I repeat, do not use a pressure washer to clean your roof. The powerful spray can detach protective granules and damage and/or loosen your shingles.*
If you're using a zinc mixture, make sure you wet any plants near the foundation of your home prior to spraying your roof so that the runoff doesn't damage them. If you have lots of plantings surrounding your home, consider using a cleaner made with natural ingredients.
Your chemical solution should also work to kill any mosses and lichens that have built up on your roof. You'll know they're dead when they turn white, right before your eyes. But, they won't wash away like the algae will, so to remove the moss you'll have two options. You can either brush them off yourself (a broom works well), or you can just wait for the rain to remove them for you. The former may not be as easy, but you wont have the moss clogging up your gutters.
Once your roof is clean again there are things you can do to prevent the algae and other fungi from returning. Re-applying zinc annually means you'll never have to clean the surface again. Although, we do not suggest you use zinc strips. They tend to be short lived and don't stay in place very well. The oxide is thin and too weak to be effective in the Northwest.
Also, refrain from using bleach on your roof. It is hard on both asphalt shingles (makes them brittle over time) and metal gutters (will chalk the coating). Bleach is not environmentally friendly either.
Discovering what looks like mold on your roof shingles can have you expecting the worst, but in reality it's an easy fix and you can prevent it from happening again.
If you need help tackling any fungus on your roof, call us at 503-635-8706.

Marginalia on Marx, Dialectics and Socialism (Part 2)
Dialectic of Whole and Parts
The whole as the totality (the "exponent") of its interacting and intermediating parts. Each part is mediated by the whole. The whole is mediated by each part and the intermediation of the parts. The whole is the "summation" of the parts and yet it is qualitatively more than this. The life and development of the object arises from the conflict of opposites within itself. Each object is the 'exponent' of this "summated" opposition. It is an identity that is a product of this opposition and yet, as a whole, it is qualitatively different and distinct from it. This is an example of what Hegel refers to as the 'Identity of identity and difference' in the Doctrine of Essence.
If we consider the object as a whole, each part of the whole develops only in relation to the movement of the whole and is connected to every other part through this whole movement. The parts are distinct from each other and from the whole only by virtue of their inseparable relation to it and to each other. Therefore, in the identity of the whole and the parts, each is distinct from the other. The movement of the whole conditions the relative movement of the parts which, in their turn, influence the whole movement. Each part has its own distinct characteristics whilst, at the same time, being continuous with and intrinsic to the life and development of the whole. In their interrelations, each part asserts its independence whilst reflecting and determining the whole movement i.e. it reveals its dependence simultaneously. Whole and parts mutually condition each other's movement. Their relation….
contains the independence of the sides and equally their transcendedness, and it contains both in one relation. The whole is the independent and the parts are only moments of this unity; but equally they too are the independent and their reflected unity is only a moment; and each is its independence just something relative to the other. Thus, this relation is itself immediate contradiction and cancels itself (Hegel. Science of Logic Vol. 2., p.144., Unwin & Allen, 1929).
Elaborating further, Hegel concludes that…
The whole and the parts therefore condition each other; (…….) the whole is the condition of the parts, but also (…..) is only in so far as it has the parts for presupposition (Ibid p.145)
The whole is qualitatively distinct from the parts. In the totality of its movement, the whole displays dependence upon, and yet its distinct independence from and conditioning of, the movement of the parts. The relationship between the whole and the parts is such that…
Whole and parts are indifferent to each other and have independent persistence, but also they are essentially related and constitute only one identity. The relation therefore is the antinomy that the one moment, in freeing itself from the other, immediately introduces the other (Ibid p.148)
Each side – the whole taken in opposition to the parts and vice versa – in repelling the other side from itself simultaneously relates itself to it in a process of identity with it. Each side, in asserting its independence, reveals its dependence and necessary connection to the other side. Each side can only exist in a state of unity with the other because they are in relation to each other as discrete moments in the continuity of their relation.The whole is a complex dialectical totality. Not a "one-way street", no matter how "heavy the traffic is".
The whole is a totality of intermediating contradictions. In the life of the whole, these contradictions are simultaneously "external" and "internal" to each other. Their relationship is organic; a unity in which the whole develops as the "exponent" of their dialectical interrelations. Within the movement of the whole, each part is continuous with the others but within this continuity each part maintains its determining and determined discreteness. The whole is a complex of discrete yet continuous parts so that what is determined is simultaneously determining. The autonomy of each part is simultaneously its negation and therefore the positing of its opposite. What is autonomous is also determined and determining as the product of relation and being in relation. The autonomous is "infected" with dependency and this dependency imparts a relative autonomy to its related parts and determinations
When we study Marx's Capital, for example, he starts with the commodity and the contradiction between use-value and value. We can see that the commodity is the "cell of capitalist economy", the "cell of bourgeois society" (Lenin, Volume 38, Collected Works). Henceforth, in his exposition, the word 'commodity' is mentioned on nearly every page of all three volumes. It subsists as an essential moment in the reproduction of capital. But the category of 'capital' remains a more concrete category than 'commodity'. Marx shows that the principal, more concrete category is 'capital'. Capital cannot be grasped simply within the nature of the category of 'commodity'. In this undeveloped form, capital cannot be understood as category and therefore as real social relation. The whole is more concrete than the part because it is the unity of the many and diverse parts and determinations which historically have served to constitute it as the whole per se.
Feudal Relations
When Marx writes that "the Middle Ages could not live on Catholicism" he was merely articulating his materialist conception of history in relation to feudalism. Under feudalism, social relations were more directly and transparently "political" because of the transparent character of these social relations. Both serf and lord knew exactly how much necessary and surplus labour time was accruing to each. The Church – itself in fief and subinfeudated to the Crown – served as a directly ideological and political mechanism for maintaining and perpeuating these relations.
In feudal society –where the dominant mode of labour was bond labour – the serf was compelled to perform labour duties on the lord's land. The mode of appropriation of this form of labour took a very direct, transparent form in that there was a fragmentation of labour time between the serf's plot of land and that of the feudal lord. Essentially, labour on the lord's land was appropriated directly as surplus labour in the form of material produce for direct consumption by the lord's retinue. Later, the increasing encroachment of commodity production and exchange (and hence money economy) increasingly forces this appropriation in money payments so that as this stage opens up and unfolds (in England, roughly the 14th and first half of the 15th century) feudal economy is already irredeemably sinking into the quicksand of history.
One of the major demands of the revolt of the English peasantry in 1381 was the abolition of serfdom. An irreversible process had commenced within which the peasantry were not only starting to work as agricultural day wage-labourers on the lands of a rising class of agricultural landowning commodity producers but sections of the peasantry had themselves started to develop into a self-employed, opposing petty bourgeoisie independently of the guild system in the towns. The continuation of feudal obligations merely interfered with the development of this unstoppable historical process and hence the clamour during the 1381 revolt for the abolition of feudal obligations. It was this nascent petit bourgeoisie that led this revolt in the towns and countryside, especially in the more developed south-eastern region of the country at the end of the 14th century. The revolt of 1381 was not the attempt to overthrow firmly established feudal relations – despite the demand for the end of serfdom – but was rather a clarion call to proclaim that these feudal relations were already dead and that the age of capital and wage labour was beckoning.
The spatio-temporal division of labour time characterises bond labour on the lord's land as 'thine' and the time in which the serf reproduces his needs on his plot by domestic subsistence labour as 'mine'. The political hierarchy of crown, church and nobility which evolves on the basis of these feudal relations (the triadic parasitic excrescence and expression of these relations) confronts the class of serfs as divinely ordained and instituted in hostile opposition to them. Here Catholicism plays its historical ideological role.
Labour is that form of human energy which creates value but it only does so – as a generalised and dominant social process – under those historical conditions created by capital; conditions which it has created and reproduces daily in order to serve the constant augmentation of its value (valorisation) and accumulation. Labour creates value but itself as a form of human energy has no value. Under different conditions this form of human energy can serve different ends where objectification ceases to take alienated form.
Under the conditions of the domination of capital, the human source of this energy is compelled to alienate it. The potentiated form of this energy – labour power – is a commodity. It becomes reified as a material component in the composition of the total value of capital with all its dehumanising consequences for the labourer. The social relation between wage labour and capital is reified as 'a relationship between things', material components which enter into the process of the production of material 'goods' which are simply 'sold' on the market 'place' for that 'thing' money, hopefully at a profit. These historically-determinate, social relations become buried under a dungheap of reification and take on the appearance of being laws of Nature. This is a source of the opaqueness of these relations under capitalism and a reason why their political manifestations do not have the same degree of immediate clarity as they did under the feudal mode of production.
Hegel's "Universal Permanent Capital"
Hegel writes of the "universal permanent capital" in the Rechtsphilosophie. Hegel's "End of History". Here we have a direct expression of the conflict between Hegel's method and the product of that same method. The conflict between a revolutionary method, on the one hand, and the erected edifice of a conservative system, on the other. This concept of the "universal permanent capital" finds its fullest correlation and expression in the system of globalised capital today. In this sense, Hegel is the ideologist par excellence of this system of globalising capital of the 21st century. This "universal permanent capital" as the Weltgeist of the 21st century
The Specificity of the Natural and Social Forms of Contradiction.
Contradiction is not an irrational foible of mind. It is real. The world is – taken as a totality – a paradox of countless, innumerable paradoxes. The world (Nature) is immanently dialectical in its infinite variety and multiplicity of forms and relations. Dialectical thinking merely reflects this in thought itself.
Dialectic is not simply a "logical shadow" or "ghost" of Nature's forms. But these forms are the real instantiations of dialectic itself expressing the absolute identity of natural form and dialectic independently of their scientific reflection in thought.
Every phenomenon, formation, thing, relation, etc, is a paradox of countless paradoxes. The infinitude of the finite. Things as being "infinitely complex and inexhaustible in their actual content" (Lenin). Our conceptions can only appropriate the thing approximately, relatively, historically. There is always more to know. Knowledge as an abyss into which we forever, eternally sink. The contradictions in the physical, chemical, biological, etc, are interrelated and mediate each other. But we cannot reduce one to the other. Each has its own distinct contradictions. We are dealing with different levels of complexity. Dialectics opposes reductionism in all its forms. It would be absurd to reduce the social to the natural, for example, or the biological to the chemical.
Contradiction animates its own development and disappearance. Its very dynamic is this unfolding and resolution. To be alive is itself a living contradiction. At any given moment, one is both extending one's life whilst at the same time approaching closer to death. Anabolism and Catabolism involve each other simultaneously. Metabolism is the unity of these two opposed cellular processes. Death is the transcendence of this contradiction which animates life itself. Whilst alive, one is both living and dying at the same time. But death is the extinguishing of this contradiction and is beyond its dynamic.
The contradictions in any individual formation are its particular instantiated contradictions which are specific to it and expressed in its own individualised forms. For example, the contradictions of US capitalism are related to those of British capitalism (they are both contradictions of capitalism) and yet they are different because they are specifically the contradictions of US and British capitalism. If we state that "France is capitalist", this identifies the individual with the universal. The individual is the universal and yet the distinction between "France" and "capitalist" is maintained. This is why every mathematical equation and every sentence contains dialectics. The specific character of the object determines our approach to it in practice. Each sphere (and aspects of the given sphere) require different approaches or variations and modulations in approach, etc.
What Hegel revealed to us – in abstracto – is the internal structure and dynamic of all forms of contradiction. In this regard, Hegel is important in Method. But, of course, contradiction takes specific historical form. Because Hegel develops his dialectic in the form of the exposition of the "Idea", starting with Being, it presents itself as an unfolding process, a progression from the abstract to the increasingly concrete. Each succeeding category embodies and expresses the total antecedent exposition sublated within itself.
Contradiction drives the life and vitality of the object and its continual return into itself. Negated negation is found in the study of the determinate character of things. In their continual movement beyond (negation) themselves and return into themselves in re-affirmation (negated negation) of their positive existence as "this particular thing", etc. A return to the old which is an irreversible advance beyond it. I wake up this morning. I go through the day. I wake up the following morning. I have returned to "myself" but I am not "myself" since I have also moved beyond that "self" of the previous morning, etc. So this return is also an advance. The seasons come and go and return the following year. But the Summer of this year is distinct from the Summer of last year, etc.
Each side of any contradiction mediates each other (intermediation). It is this intermediation which constitutes ground [the identity and unity] of the contradiction and the mutually determining and negating conflicting sides of the contradiction. In this unity, each side is what it is only in so far as each side mediates the existence of each other. The world exists as a unified, unfolding process of development animated by contradiction in its different social and natural forms. The world is precisely these contradictory determinate forms animated by their immanently contradictory character.
The Twentieth Century
"In the twentieth century the objective conditions for the social revolution had in fact not matured; and this is contrary to what many of us – not without cause – believed. They were coming to maturity only over (say) the last quarter of the century – in today's conditions of the onset of capitalism's structural crisis and globalisation"
[C. Slaughter., Not Without A Storm, Chpt 8, Index Books, p.286]
It is within this context that we can locate and understand the whole nature of capitalist development within the twentieth century. And, more importantly, our response to it and our activities as communists in the course of this past century's development. Moreover, we can proceed – with a more concrete degree of adequacy – to seek to grasp the underlying conditions which led to defeats and betrayals of one kind or another in which millions of people perished under the rule of capital. We can also fully grasp why Social Democracy and Stalinism were capable of delivering millions into the hands of Fascism and the Gulags. Today, as capital's structural crisis broadens and deepens, the roadblock of Stalinism to the emergence of new forms of revolutionary agency has vanished with the fall of its historical basis since 1989. Stalinism has done significant damage to the struggle for socialism but its fall has removed an obstacle – to that same struggle – the significance of which cannot be overestimated. Those forces which led the "anti-imperialist struggle" in the 20th century have now become transformed into the agents of globalising capital at the start of the 21st century. Only now – as the global crisis of capital deepens and unfolds in the course of the 21st century – does Luxemburg's dictum of "Socialism or Barbarism" (Junius Pamphlet, 1916) truly and fully come into its own. The deepening and sharpening of the contradictions of the global capital system in crisis starts to comprehensively destroy the social and natural conditions for the new society. But in this unfolding crisis it also drives the necessity for the movement towards socialism (as the dominant historical tendency which is implicit in this development). It heightens the possibilities of the growth of this socialist movement against capital. But, as we can see, it is a contradictory development. Socialism is not the inevitable outcome of the present stage. It only becomes an inevitability when all the conditions for the elimination of capital and its state powers have been assembled to be replaced by socialist society. The further descent into barbarism is equally posible without the positing of these necessary conditions. The turn is to the global proletarait. We cannot wait for the apple to ripen and simply fall from the tree. The tree must be shaken with all our might and power, audacity, ruthlessness, energy, through the requisite agencies of global social revolution. Only then will the apples fall in order to be harvested.

Albemarle County Supervisor Palmer Recognized by Virginia Recycling Association
Each year the Virginia Recycling Association (VRA) recognizes the best waste reduction and recycling programs in the state. On Wednesday, June 3 Tim Lee, VRA President presented the VRA 2015 Award for Excellence in Recycling to Supervisor Liz Palmer for the Outstanding Public Leadership category in recognition of her leadership, public outreach, and participation in recycling and litter and waste reduction programs.
Nominations are sought after from the public and private sectors, business, industry, schools, government and non-profit agencies, civic or volunteer organizations and individuals. In order to be eligible for a nomination in the Outstanding Public Leadership category, a panel of judges evaluates elected officials who demonstrate leadership in advancing public policy in the area of waste reduction and recycling. Eligible individuals must have made a significant contribution to decisions about a broad range of issues including innovative waste management programs, recycling advancement, buying recycled, and the economic development of the recycling industry.
"I am honored to have received this recognition and grateful to have the opportunity to shine a spotlight on the Long Range Solid Waste Solutions Committee's effort and support in this arena," said Supervisor Palmer. "Recycling is a true economic and environmental solution, both locally and globally. Recycling is one of the few environmental actions that every single American can participate in and feel good about."
The VRA was formed in 1990 by a group of individuals who are committed to expanding state recycling opportunities. Since its inception, the VRA has become the leading resource of recycling information for our members, the general public, the Virginia General Assembly, local government, business, and industry.

Winter Hiking, Snowshoeing, and Skiing
Let's face it, for almost 8 months of the year, mountains in the Yukon are covered in snow. If you want to be outdoors in the Yukon wilderness beyond the 4 snow-free months of the year, you need to equip yourself for these snowy conditions. Depending on your budget and abilities (and what you consider fun), you have some options.
Hiking Boots with Gaiters
During the
fall-winter shoulder season
(usually October), there is often a few inches of snow on the ground at higher elevations. When there isn't enough snow to warrant strapping snowshoes to your pack, then a pair of waterproof hiking boots in combination with gaiters will do the trick.
Gaiters are waterproof (like Nylon or Gore-Tex) and wrap around your leg from your boot to below your knee, normally with either a strap below your boot or with a drawstring to cinch tight at your ankle. Gaiters are light, inexpensive, and keep snow from getting in your boots as well as keeping your legs dry. Check out the
Outdoor Research
website for examples of different types of gaiters.
After Autumn has finally passed, the snow starts to get deeper, and continues to stay deep until Spring. Walking in deep snow is very tiring, as each step "post-holes" your feet and legs down through the snow. Snowshoes help distribute the weight of each of your steps along the base of the snowshoe so that you don't sink as far into the snow.
The larger the snowshoe, the more you should stay afloat, but avoid unnecessary weight by properly sizing your snowshoe for your body weight. Most manufactures supply a body weight guide for each of their snowshoes. Having a snowshoe that is rated above your body weight does not contribute much towards extra floatation and adds weight with each step.
Snowshoes come in a variety of prices, which will be reflected in the weight, comfort, durability, and ease of putting on and taking off the snowshoe. As with most winter gear, you get what you pay for with snowshoes! Some snowshoes have built-in crampons which help with walking up and down steeper sections, especially on hard-packed snow.
Snowshoes excel in the forest, where tighter turns and debris on the ground limit the use of skis. You can definitely use snowshoes in the alpine as well, but as soon as you turn around to come back down, you'll be wishing you could just glide down effortlessly on skis. Walking downhill in snowshoes is almost just as much effort as walking uphill. Snowshoes are much cheaper than skis, so if you want a taste of the alpine in winter, start with snowshoes and see how you like it.
That being said, there are some trails into the alpine where snowshoes are still preferable to skis. Windblown areas where the snow is a hard crust or has been blown hard enough to expose rocks are better suited to snowshoes. Shorter trails that start through the trees are also better suited to snowshoes than skis. Some examples of these trails in the Yukon include
Caribou Mountain
Fish Lake
You can also use snowshoes for hiking up slopes with your downhill skis or snowboard attached to a backpack, although it not as convenient or efficient as using alpine touring skis or splitboards (see below).
You can find skis, splitboards, gaiters, and snowshoes (and more!) at
Up North Adventures
in Whitehorse.
Nordic Touring Skis
Nordic touring skis are like beefed-up cross-country skis. They are wider, have metal edges for carving, and in some cases can support a heavier ski boot (similar to a downhill ski boot). With all nordic touring skis, the heel never attaches to the binding, even on the descent.
You can attach skins to the bottom of nordic touring skis which add friction so you can climb up steeper inclines. Some touring skis have directional fish-scales on the base which allow the skier to climb up inclines and still ski down without friction. This is great if you are skiing hilly terrain where you would either have to add and remove your skins all the time, or ski awkwardly downhill for short sections with the skins on. Some trails to try nordic touring in the Yukon include
Summit Creek
Tally-Ho Mountain
Nordic touring skis differ from alpine touring skis because they are designed more for touring rather than getting in downhill turns. The heel of the boot doesn't attach to the binding like alpine touring skis, making downhill turns more challenging (some nordic touring skis have detachable heel cable straps which help with this). Nordic touring skis are usually slightly thinner as well (meaning less floatation) and are not bi-directional (sorry, no skiing backwards after doing a 540 off a rock face with these skis). Finally, the boots are not usually as stiff or technical as alpine touring ski boots.
Telemark skiing is a form of skiing where the heel of the boot does not attach to the binding (free heel). Telemark skiing actually fits into both the Nordic Touring and Alpine Touring categories, because the skis are great for cross-country touring, but they are also used for skiing down knarley powder terrain.
Alpine Touring (AT) Skis & Splitboards
If you are climbing up a mountain for the sole purpose of getting some wicked powder turns on the way down, then you want alpine touring (AT) skis, or a splitboard if you are a snowboarder.
AT gear is made to climb steep slopes and ski down these slopes in deep powder. They are heavier than nordic touring skis and don't have scales on the bottom because you climb up with skins, remove the skins, and ski down - usually avoiding flat or hilly terrain. They are also more expensive than touring skis, especially the boot and binding system which differs from touring skis because your heel locks into the binding for the ride down.
Splitboards are snowboards that split apart along the center so that they resemble skis. On the way up a mountain, your boots face along the length of the snowboard so that you can walk up in the same way you would with AT skis. When you're ready to go down, the splitboard locks together again, becoming a snowboard. A popular trail in the Yukon for AT skiing and splitboarding is the area around
Feather Peak
Know the Risks
Whatever you choose to do in the winter, make sure that you understand the risks. The largest risk is an avalanche. If you haven't taken an avalanche course, it's best to avoid going near any open slopes or through any valleys where an avalanche could slide into. If you enjoy being out in the mountains in the winter, a lack of adequate avalanche knowledge will limit where you can go. There are different levels of avalanche courses available in the Yukon throughout the winter. Just remember that a little knowledge is dangerous, so when in doubt, double up your knowledge by going out with someone who is experienced.

"My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience."
~James 1:2-3
"For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory of which shall be revealed in us."
~Romans 8:18
Madison's one year anniversary of she being in Heaven is quickly approaching. October 22. It is a day that I have dreaded since the day she passed away. I truly believed that Jesus would have already come back by now or that he would have called me home, and that I would be with Madison again. The reality of her not being here with us is hitting me hard this week. It has almost been 365 days since I held her in my arms, kissed her good morning, heard her sweet voice, warmed up her bottle, rocked her to sleep, worshipped with her, washed and folded her clothes, gave her a bath, fixed her hair, changed her diaper, told her I love her, prayed with her, fed her, took a nap with her, buckled her into her car seat, cleaned her bottles, picked up her toys, heard the sound of her walker going through the house, tucked her into bed, snuggled with her, held her hand. I could go on and on. I feel like the heartache that I am feeling now is so much worse than it was the day she went to Heaven.
Why am I dreading this day so much? Madison surely isn't dreading this day and she surely isn't sad about being in Heaven. I know that if she had a choice to come back to us on Earth she would not want to. I would not want to either. She is free from the bondage and the limitations of I-Cell disease.
Looking back on this year, it feels like it has dragged on. Before, time was flying by. Every day we got to spend with Madison we cherished. We lived every day do the fullest because we knew our time was going to be limited. I have finally learned to stay off social media sites for holidays: Thanksgiving, Christmas, Mother's Day, Father's Day, even the first day of school. It feels like your heart is being ripped out to see families celebrating with their children, knowing that we will never get to take another picture of Madison. I took a ton of pictures while she was here and still feel like I do not have enough.
There has been so much change in our life over the past year and it has been change that we didn't ask for. There is an emptiness in our hearts and in our home. It is with us every where we go. Yeah, we still smile and have a good time but that ache and longing is still there and always will be. Shane and I continue to trust God through this heartache and he has showered us with so much grace and mercy. He has given us so much peace.
I have not gotten to the point yet where I don't relive our final days and hours with her. There are some that have haunted me and some that give me tremendous peace.
I don't think a Sunday morning has passed that at 7:30 I don't think about Madison. I remember so clearly the sound of her pulse ox machine going off and watching the numbers quickly drop...90, 85, 80, 70, 60, 50. I remember the look in her eyes when she couldn't breathe and me scrambling to get her breathing again. And when she finally did, I remember sitting on the floor with her in my arms, hugging each other, and crying together. I remember Terry and Ta running in and I handing her to Terry while I had the biggest meltdown I had ever had. I started pacing the floors, crying, not knowing what to do. I vividly remember the look on her face. She just stayed in Terry's arms and let me have my moment and she looked at me like, "What are we going to do next, Abel?"
As we rode in the ambulance to Birmingham, Madison slept on my chest most of the way. I never thought that would be the last time she slept in my arms. I also have not been able to get the image out of my head of them having to bag her when she couldn't breathe. The look in her eyes as I laid beside her telling her it was going to be okay. I felt completely helpless. I think a part of me knew that there wasn't much more we could do, but I did not want to believe it. A mother is supposed to be able to fix everything and this, I could not.
When these images come into my head, I quickly have to turn my thoughts to her final moments.
I will sometimes just start singing one of Madison's favorite songs, Victory is Mine. "I told Satan. Get thee behind because VICTORY TODAY IS MINE!" Satan wants us to be sad and hopeless. How can we be sad knowing that Madison is ALIVE and rejoicing in Heaven? It brings tears to my eyes and I have no words to even try to describe the moments when she told us "I see Jesus." Then for her to tell Shane and I that she would see us later. She was not afraid and she definitely wasn't sad to be leaving us. She knew that this was not goodbye. She even I said, "I'll see you later!"
Allie just told me recently that after Madison said she saw Jesus the second time, she took her shoes off because she knew she was standing on holy ground.
Two weeks after Madison arrived home, I felt like I needed to clean out her closet and put all her toys away. Every person grieves differently and for me, this is what I needed to do, and something I wanted to do by myself. I took all her little dresses off the hanger and neatly folded them and put them into a big storage container. As I was was folding them, I was flooded with memories of the day she wore each dress. Her other clothes did not get folded as neatly. I couldn't handle the idea of it being the last time I would be folding and putting away her clothes for good. I just took the drawers and dumped them in to the containers. When I got to her toys, for every stuffed animal I put up, Bo pulled out two. I did let him keep one of her stuffed animals.
Allie came over when I finished and we moved all the boxes to the storage room. They still sit there. About 4 months ago I was having a pretty rough day, just missing Madison so much. I went to the storage room, opened up the box that had her clothes in it and grabbed a shirt just so I could smell her again but the smell was gone. I can't fully describe the feeling, but it wasn't good. It just made me realize that time is moving on. I have all this stuff to remind me of her, but none of that can take the place of the memories that I will hold forever.
I often think about Madison's life and the legacy that she has left behind. I love getting stopped by people asking me if I am Madison's mom. I can't even tell you how much my heart swells when I answer yes. I love hearing stories of how she has touched so many people. People I don't even know.
With life going on, it has become a huge fear of mine that people will forget Madison. People are sometimes afraid to bring her name up because they never know how we will take it. Truth be known, I never know how we will take it. Sometimes we will laugh, and other times we may cry. We never know how each story will affect us, but we still love to hear them.
It feels like it has been another lifetime ago that I was a mom. My worries and anxieties that I have are now completely different. Even though I know there is no cold or virus that can harm her anymore, I still hear every cough and sneeze. I run away from a runny nose, and sanitize the house after company leaves and I still use hand sanitizer and Lysol spray ALL THE TIME!
It was put on our hearts a few months ago to start teaching Sunday School. I mentioned it to Ta for her to see what was available. Selfishly, I prayed for anything but first grade. We didn't want first grade because this is the class Madison would have been in. These were the group of kids that Madison should grow up with, go on youth trips with, graduate with, etc. Well, God has great sense of humor and we got first grade.
I can't tell you the joy that this Sunday School class has been to me and Shane in just the few short weeks we have taught it. Some of Madison's favorites, Reed and Mason are in this class. We love to hear them talk about and remember Madison. It is our prayer that as these children continue to grow up, that they will look at her entire life and see God's faithfulness and love that He has given us. I pray that they see that Shane and I are grieving Madison, but that we are grieving her with hope. That they see and understand the peace that we have been given. Peace that truly does surpass all understanding. That they will come to understand that when you are a believer in Jesus Christ, any fear of death that you may have is gone.
I have not been to her grave yet and don't know when I will. I drive by there almost every day. I don't have the desire to go by there. She is not there. It is just her shell. Shane and I have not even ordered her headstone. We are not ready to yet but we will know when we are. The grave is not the end. This life that we are living is not where God intends for us to be. I can promise you, Madison is more alive and well today, than any day she was here on Earth.
Sometimes I feel that people may think I am crazy or even suicidal with how much I long to be in Heaven. I'm not either of those things, but I can't wait to go. I know that one day I will be reunited with my Savior and with Madison and I can't wait to have her in my arms again. And until He returns or calls me Home, I'll proclaim His goodness, love, and faithfulness and praise Him in both joy and suffering.
I am not going to be sad on October 22. I am going to celebrate this day because this is the day that we had prayed for. For so long, we have prayed for Madison's complete healing and our prayer was answered! We are going to celebrate this day just like we do her birthday. November 16th is the day God entrusted us with her and October 22 is the day we had to give her back.
I can't even begin to tell you how proud I am to have been her "Abel" for almost six years. There is no greater role that I have enjoyed the most than this. It has been a journey that didn't go quite as I planned but one that I am so thankful I got to do and continue to do. I pray for strength to share her story at every opportunity that I get.
I can't help but think of that day when the glory of Heaven is in my view. I picture her turning around saying. "Hey, Abel!" As if I have never left her side. To see that great cloud of witnesses who have gone before, welcoming me home. Where none of this sadness and heartache that we have right now will matter any more. What a glorious day that will be!

Java Sound Buffer Size
Hi, I'm finding that when i try and load small .wav files i have no trouble, but above about the 4mb mark i am told that "cannot retrieve audio input stream. requested buffer size too large." This is when run from a packaged .jar file. But i get no errors running and playing to sound from within an IDE before the project is packaged.
Any ideas as to why, once packaged i'm having problems with a buffer size?

Engineering Builds Steam in K-12 Education
For all the STEM education hoopla these days, the "E" for engineering often seems like an afterthought at the K-12 level. And yet, recent developments suggest that the discipline is starting to make some headway in schools.
In a new Education Week story, I highlight some of those developments. Here's a quick sampling of evidence that the "E" is getting more notice:
• Exhibit A: The makers of the "nation's report card" are rolling out a new NAEP exam on literacy in technology and engineering;
• Exhibit B: The "next generation" science standards being finalized by a coalition of 26 states and outside experts are expected to thread engineering-design practices across the new standards;
• Exhibit C: The College Board and engineering advocates are giving serious consideration to developing the first-ever AP program in engineering;
• Exhibit D: Several of the best-known K-12 engineering initiatives, including Project Lead the Way's Pathway to Engineering program and the Museum of Science Boston's Engineering is Elementary, are growing by leaps and bounds;
• Exhibit E: Plenty of other in-school and out-of-school initiatives with a strong engineering focus are cropping up and/or expanding.
Exhibit F might well be the rapid emergence of more STEM-focused schools. I'm told that the "E" often doesn't get its due in these schools, though some certainly give it plenty of attention. In fact, last year I visited a new STEM high school on the campus of North Carolina State University, where the Grand Challenges for Engineering serve as a frame and inspiration for the curriculum.
I don't pretend in my story to highlight every worthy program out there. But I tried to give a flavor for what's afoot. Here, I'll briefly name a few others that I learned about, but that ended up on the cutting-room floor.
• Engineering Teaching Kits: This series of engineering lesson plans are being used by middle school math and science teachers in Central Virginia and in summer programs. The initiative was founded in 2002 by Larry G. Richards, an engineering professor at the University of Virginia, through the Virginia Middle School Engineering Education Initiative. Topics include submersible vehicles, model solar cars, and roller coaster physics.
• STOMP at Tufts University: This program (Student Teacher Outreach Mentorship Program) pairs up Tufts University graduate and undergraduate students with K-12 teachers in the greater Boston area to create an engineering curriculum that reaches across all disciplines, piques the students' interests in engineering, and improves students' problem-solving skills.
• FIRST: Founded by inventor Dean Kamen, this organization now hosts five competition programs that seek to inspire young people to become leaders in the STEM fields by engaging them in mentor-based programs that build engineering, science, and technology skills. The programs include the FIRST Robotics Competition for grades 9-12 and the FIRST Lego League for grades 4-8. For the 2012-13 season, it's projected to reach more than 300,000 young people.
• Engineering Pathways Partnership Project: Led by the Science Foundation Arizona in partnership with Cochise College, this program for rural Arizona communities aims to build a comprehensive engineering pathway for young people, starting in middle and high school, that leads toward degrees and credentials that help build the local aerospace and defense workforce.
Lemelson-MIT Program: Sixteen teams of students, teachers, and mentors pursue yearlong invention projects that address real-world problems through this program from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, run by its school of engineering. This year's team projects include the invention of a life jacket for prolonged search and rescue and a bacteria-powered battery.

I normally don't go for wild concepts. Sure, I've played a misanthrope halfilng druid, or sex-crazed sharpshooter criminal, but nothing too out there. The wildest concept I've ever had at my table, though? It was when I was running D&D 4E and one player floated an idea for a replacement character should his PC die that made me decide to try to keep him alive no matter what: A Vampire Pixie Paladin.
I'm sure there are all sorts of meta-game reasons why that's awesome, but as I have a visceral reaction to vampires (they're parasitic monsters and thus shall they ever be treated as such in anything I write), I just didn't even want to deal with that level of cheese.

In the crowded world of effects some basic sounds may be overlooked, but both of these offer a good basis for your overall tone and for sure worth a look.
We appreciate the writeup here.
MOEN Overdrive and Fuzz Moo
by Will Chen
MOEN is a relative newcomer to the world of guitar effects founded in 2005. Located in Hong Kong, the company offers a full range of effects pedals including some very innovative models such as their Raw Tube Drive which is advertised as the world's smallest high voltage tube overdrive and Stage Control line of programmable true bypass loops. We'll look at two pedals from their vintage series today, the MO-OD Overdrive and MO-FM Fuzz Moo.
Overdrive MO-OD
Ok, so it's got perhaps the most generic name possible. And the pedal has a fairly utilitarian look to match in spite of its bullet-shatter-glass cosmetics. The unit even features all the standard stuff you'd expect to see on an overdrive pedal: a trio of controls (volume, tone, and drive), red led indicator, 9v dc power jack, and a handy, thumb-screwed battery cover on the back. The MOEN Overdrive is built in a hefty metal enclosure with an extremely solid feel to it giving me confidence that it won't crumble under even the harshest conditions.
For my initial audition of the pedal's tones, I cranked the gain and tone to max and set the level around noon, plugged it up with my trusty SX SST57, and into a Vox Pathfinder 15r set for a subtle breakup. Engaging the pedal, well, to say I was impressed isn't quite a fair description. I was darn near hypnotized! After close to an hour of playing, I stopped to truly evaluate what I was hearing. I could hear a strong similarity to a Tubescreamer so I plugged up my TS9 for comparison and there was none. The MO-OD blew it away. It's got all the midrange sweetness of the Tubescreamer with seemingly more compression yet the highs and lows remain intact unlike the weaker low end and predominant mid range hump of the traditional Tubescreamer. Hmmm…
I spent quite some time trying to figure out what exactly is going on until I realized that the pedal accomplishes its seemingly contradictory transparent vibe by passing a preset amount of the bypassed signal through the pedal even when engaged. Brilliant! However, as a result if you're playing a really clean amp the effect is a little obvious as the overdriven and clean signal can be heard as two fairly distinct sounds. But when your target amp has a bit or grit dialed up this thing is simply magical. On top of it all, the pedal has a bunch of volume on tap for those who enjoy pummeling the front end of their amp.
Anyone looking for a Tubescreamer styled overdrive with a bit more transparency should definitely check this pedal out. The MOEN Overdrive is a bit of a tonal paradox: beautifully compressed and colored yet transparent at the same time. Highly recommended.
Fuzz Moo MO-FM
Ok, any pedal with bizarre name and an affordable price tag is going to get some of my attention and I don't think I've heard another pedal outside of the Way Huge line with such an amusing name. The pedal is adorned with a rather serious cow skull graphic for having such a whimsical name, but it's about how these things sound not look right? The pedal's layout and features fall right in line with the MO-OD with the aforementioned pedal's gain knob relabeled as sustain.
Plugged up, MOEN was definitely inspired by the Big Muff rather than Fuzz Face. However, I always found the Big Muff to be a rather muddy sounding pedal with an overly tubby low end. Even the name sounds muddy to me. The MO-FM has a leaner low end by comparison and pushes the gain up to 11. The filter sweep styled tone control will be familiar to Big Muff fans, but like the gain range seems to be wider without getting piercing on the top end nor muddy on the low end.
I paired the Fuzz Moo with everything I have. This pedal is a weapon with more in common with a laser than a traditional fuzz pedal. It obliterates any tonal signature of your guitar supplanting its devastatingly aggressive roar. Sustain is actually a perfect name for the gain knob on this little beasty as when it's cranked up to max notes seem to hang on for days. This isn't something for those seeking subtlety. No, this pedal is all about in your face, slicing fuzz and would be a perfect complement to the pedal boards of those seeking more non-conventional tones ala Muse or Radio Head. I could also see fans of industrial and death metal really getting some mileage out of the Fuzz Moo.
The MOEN MO_FM Fuzz Moo isn't for everyone. But the tonally adventurous should seek one out. Combined with some filtering and/or octave effects, you'll definitely be getting double takes from audience members wondering who's playing the synth.
