| On Sunday, I only wanted a little snack because I was going to have a big dinner later that night with TD at Wolfgang's. So I went to a little LA style Taqueria called Ottos Tacos that, of course, serves tacos. I got the carne asada and carnitas tacos in corn flour tortillas and sat outside with a Pacifico beer and enjoyed the day. - C | FOOD & DRINK |

| The Globe and Mail is Canada’s national newspaper with the second largest broadsheet circulation in the country. It has enormous influence on Canada’s political and business elite. Barrick Gold Corp. is shutting a major American office and dismantling its copper unit, the company’s latest steps to cut costs and overhaul operations amid the slump in gold prices. The closing of its Salt Lake City office along with the unwinding of its copper business will help the world’s biggest gold producer save $2-billion (U.S.) by the end of next year, the company said. Four years of declining gold prices have forced a broad retreat at Barrick and battered the company’s share price. In addition to selling a slew of mines and non-core assets, Barrick recently reduced its dividend again and sold a stake in its top copper mine in Chile as well as part of one of its most profitable gold mines, in the Dominican Republic. Barrick’s Salt Lake office, which employs about 110 staff, will close in November after supporting the miner’s core Nevada operations for nearly two decades. It follows the shutdown of Barrick’s Perth bureau and job cuts in its Santiago office. Barrick’s standalone copper unit, which was established after the miner bought pure copper company Equinox Minerals Ltd., will no longer be a distinct division within the company. The copper unit’s managers and staff will be laid off and the overhead expenses associated with the separate business will be cut. “This is not simply about cost cutting,” said Barrick spokesman Andy Lloyd. “All these actions will contribute to our target of $2-billion in costs savings … but importantly they are also making us a leaner and faster-moving company,” he said.

| Studying the 5 min chart of Ying Li Intl, there was this one throw down earlier just now with a huge volume of 2,784,900 shares where it created a sell down in Ying Li. Although the throw down was heavy, the stock I believe is still bullish in the mid term. Short term wise, expect some reactions first before moving upwards. Market suddenly turned bearish in the afternoon, be alert tomorrow. May have an avalanche of sellers.

| Let’s face it: driving sucks.
Car traffic is bad for everyone and a lot of American cities have caught on to this. As a result, more light rail is being built throughout the USA, recently Pheonix residents voted to back more light rail with a tax hike.
What’s pushing this? It turns out that the awfulness of the commute, more cities adopting good public transit policy, and increased urbanization.
The future of light rail looks bright!
“Light rail” is a broad term that means a passenger rail system with tram-style cars—as opposed to “heavy rail” subways, as in New York and Washington, D.C.—that runs on its own right of way, usually at street level. Light rail cars typically run at 30 to 40 miles per hour at top speed, much less than a heavy rail subway.
In many cities, the building of light rail lines represents only one aspect of broader efforts to solve the public transportation puzzle. Cities are increasingly connecting light rail lines with major nodes of activity and other transportation modes such as expanded express bus services or bike lanes. Phoenix’s light rail connects downtown with Arizona State University in Tempe and Sky Harbor Airport. Charlotte has a light rail system and is now adding a streetcar. Atlanta and Miami have traditional heavy rail transit systems but are investing in other technologies such as streetcars and bus rapid transit. Las Vegas has a monorail along the Strip but is talking about a rail line to the airport.

| I wasn't surprised to see the empty store spaces where BB-8, the darling droid had landed. After all, it's not often that parents can purchase a droid with a personality, for a mere $150. (I wonder how many were bought for self-gifting instead of holiday presents for kids...)
But I was stunned by the lack of inventory for other new Star Wars toys. By last Saturday morning, at the Toys 'R Us, Target and Meier stores I visited, only empty racks were left, especially where action figures had been displayed.
As I walked the aisles at Toy Fair last February in New York City, it was obvious Star Wars toys would be winners. But even though The Force has not even awakened, more than buzz is building. | ENTERTAINMENT |

| Little Pumpkin Kid’s Handprint Fall Cards Here’s an easy craft to make with kids and give to someone you love! Or keep it for yourself! (Or make several – they turn out so cute.) This is SO easy. I just did a handprint in orange and then a single finger print (the entire finger) for the pumpkin stem. Cut them out, glue them on construction paper, and you have an adorable card! I was able to handle Jonathan’s handprint myself (he’s 3.5 years), but I had to have my husband help with Janie (16 months). He held her arm still while I painted her hand, and then we worked together to get a clear print. It was totally worth it! This is what I did with the inside of the card. Jonathan’s cutting skills are still pretty limited and Janie is a toddler, so I made the cards myself. If you were doing this project with 4 or 5 year old’s they would be able to do more of the card assembly themselves. Either way, it’s a great keepsake!

| Here are two bits of news that seem lost in the American media: 1) In Syria, the forces of Hezbollah have been given about 50 Russian tanks to incorporate into the forces fighting near the Lebanese border. Until now, the terrorists at Hezbollah have never had armor for use in fighting. 2) The Russian forces in Syria are being positioned to fight not against ISIS but rather against the other Sunni forces that have been opposing both the Assad regime and ISIS. The result of any battle by the Russians against these forces will help, not hurt, the position of ISIS in the country.
So what do these two news items mean? Clearly, the Russians are helping the pro Assad forces crush the Sunni opposition other than ISIS. It looks like there is a tacit agreement between Assad and ISIS to partition Syria. That will leave us with a Western Syria under the control of a belligerent war criminal (Assad) and an Eastern Syria under the control of the crazies at ISIS. The clear loser in all of this will be the 75% of the Syrian people who are Sunni as well as the 12% or so of the population that are Druze, Christian, or Yazidi. Most likely, this 12% will be the target of genocide.
With all this happening, president Obama is doing nothing.

| In addition to the other games added earlier this month , Sony has announced that the first five Assassin’s Creed games are coming to the PlayStation Now subscription tomorrow, September 15, when the PlayStation Store updates.
Helping you get ready for the launch of Assassin’s Creed Syndicate on October 23 for PlayStation 4, here’s what you need to know about the five Assassin’s Creed PlayStation 3 games coming to PS Now:
Assassin’s Creed
Assassin’s Creed was the game that started it all. The game is set in 1191 AD, when the Third Crusade was tearing the Holy Land apart. Shrouded in secrecy and feared for their ruthlessness, the Assassins intend to stop the hostilities by suppressing both sides of the conflict. Players, assuming the role of the main character Altair, will have the power to throw their immediate environment into chaos and to shape events during this pivotal moment in history.
Assassin’s Creed II
Assassin’s Creed II is an epic story of brotherhood, vengeance, and conspiracy set in the pristine yet brutal backdrop of 15th century Renaissance Italy. The new hero of the game, Ezio Auditore da Firenze, befriends Leonardo da Vinci, takes on Florence’s most powerful families, and ventures throughout the canals of Venice where he learns to become a Master Assassin.
Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood
Live and breathe as a legendary master Assassin, armed with your own guild to lead and customize. Set directly after the events of Assassin’s Creed II in the most historical city in the world, Rome, Ezio plots to strike at the heart of the Templar Order. Brotherhood is the first Assassin’s Creed game to introduce a multiplayer layer that allows you to embody an assassin of your choosing — from among 16 different character classes, each with their own distinct weapons, moves, and abilities.
Assassin’s Creed Revelations
In Assassin’s Creed Revelations, master assassin Ezio Auditore walks in the footsteps of the legendary mentor Altair, on a journey of discovery and revelation. It is a perilous path — one that will take Ezio to Constantinople, the heart of the Ottoman Empire, where a growing army of Templars threatens to destabilize the region.
In addition to Ezio’s award-winning story, a refined and expanded online multiplayer experience returns with more modes, more maps, and more characters, allowing you to test your assassin skills against others from around the world.
Assassin’s Creed III
The American Colonies, 1775 — it’s a time of civil unrest and political upheaval in the Americas. As a Native American Assassin fights to protect his land and his people, he will ignite the flames of a young nation’s revolution. In Assassin’s Creed III, you will be challenged to eliminate your enemies with an array of new weapons including guns, bows, tomahawks, and trusty hidden blades.
Will you be going back and playing these Assassin’s Creed games?

| In this Elasticsearch for beginners series, I will give you basics of Elasticsearch with real world examples. The first part is for teaching you how to create -that is index- a document in Elasticsearch.
I assume you managed to download the latest Elasticsearch zip to your local, extracted it and after that installed the marvel plugin and started a new node by running "elasticsearch" under your installation's bin directory.
Now it is time for some action. We can choose to give custom id to our document or leave it to Elasticsearch so we won't bother by generating a new one.
You can choose whatever content you want, but for keeping it simple I'll consider the usual user example. Our user will have a username, first name, last name and a contact phone.
Now lets open our Sense plugin. Go to "http://localhost:9200/_plugin/marvel/sense/index.html" after your node is up and running.
Before indexing anything I'll tell you that we will need an index and a type information.
Index is like a database and type is like a table if we use RDBMS analogies.
Please don't get confused over the meaning of index. Indexing a document is creating a document, index information of a document is its database.
Lets insert our first document with custom id. We will use "elastic_101" as index and "user" as type.
PUT /elastic_101/user/1 We can check if we are successful in indexing it.
The result to the following query GET elastic_101/user/_search is Now lets index a new document with autogenerated id. POST /elastic_101/user/ Again let me check the result with GET elastic_101/user/_search Result is: As you can see both users have a username, first name, last name and a phone. Notice that if for kimchy is 1 which is the one we gave it and the other id is "AVAFxb36kyTg7_oSOIVN" which is generated by Elasticsearch.
In this part of my Elasticsearch tutorial, we learnt how to create documents with custom or auto-generated id. You can have more in depth information in my Elasticsearch in Action course and this link will make a discount of 60%. | SCIENCE & TECH |

| Exclusive: Senior negotiator describes rejection of alleged proposal – since which time tens of thousands have been killed and millions displaced Russia proposed more than three years ago that Syria’s president, Bashar al-Assad, could step down as part of a peace deal, according to a senior negotiator involved in back-channel discussions at the time. Former Finnish president and Nobel peace prize laureate Martti Ahtisaari said western powers failed to seize on the proposal. Since it was made, in 2012, tens of thousands of people have been killed and millions uprooted, causing the world’s gravest refugee crisis since the second world war.
Ahtisaari held talks with envoys from the five permanent members of the UN security council in February 2012. He said that during those discussions, the Russian ambassador, Vitaly Churkin, laid out a three-point plan, which included a proposal for Assad to cede power at some point after peace talks had started between the regime and the opposition. But he said that the US, Britain and France were so convinced that the Syrian dictator was about to fall, they ignored the proposal.
“It was an opportunity lost in 2012,” Ahtisaari said in an interview. Officially, Russia has staunchly backed Assad through the four-and-half-year Syrian war, insisting that his removal cannot be part of any peace settlement. Assad has said that Russia will never abandon him. Moscow has recently begun sending troops, tanks and aircraft in an effort to stabilise the Assad regime and fight Islamic State extremists.
Ahtisaari won the Nobel prize in 2008 “for his efforts on several continents and over more than three decades, to resolve international conflicts”, including in Namibia, Aceh in Indonesia, Kosovo and Iraq. On 22 February 2012 he was sent to meet the missions of the permanent five nations (the US, Russia, UK, France and China) at UN headquarters in New York by The Elders, a group of former world leaders advocating peace and human rights that has included Nelson Mandela, Jimmy Carter, and former UN secretary general Kofi Annan.
“The most intriguing was the meeting I had with Vitaly Churkin because I know this guy,” Ahtisaari recalled. “We don’t necessarily agree on many issues but we can talk candidly. I explained what I was doing there and he said: ‘Martti, sit down and I’ll tell you what we should do.’ “He said three things: One – we should not give arms to the opposition. Two – we should get a dialogue going between the opposition and Assad straight away. Three – we should find an elegant way for Assad to step aside.”
Churkin declined to comment on what he said had been a “private conversation” with Ahtisaari. The Finnish former president, however, was adamant about the nature of the discussion. “There was no question because I went back and asked him a second time,” he said, noting that Churkin had just returned from a trip to Moscow and there seemed little doubt he was raising the proposal on behalf of the Kremlin.
Ahtisaari said he passed on the message to the American, British and French missions at the UN, but he said: “Nothing happened because I think all these, and many others, were convinced that Assad would be thrown out of office in a few weeks so there was no need to do anything.” While Ahtisaari was still in New York, Kofi Annan was made joint special envoy on Syria for the UN and the Arab League. Ahtisaari said: “Kofi was forced to take up the assignment as special representative. I say forced because I don’t think he was terribly keen. He saw very quickly that no one was supporting anything.”
In June 2012, Annan chaired international talks in Geneva, which agreed a peace plan by which a transitional government would be formed by “mutual consent” of the regime and opposition. However, it soon fell apart over differences on whether Assad should step down. Annan resigned as envoy a little more than a month later, and Assad’s personal fate has been the principal stumbling block to all peace initiatives since then. Last week, Britain’s foreign secretary, Philip Hammond, suggested that as part of a peace deal, Assad could remain in office during a six-month “transitional period” but the suggestion was quickly rejected by Damascus.
Western diplomats at the UN refused to speak on the record about Ahtisaari’s claim, but pointed out that after a year of the Syrian conflict, Assad’s forces had already carried out multiple massacres, and the main opposition groups refused to accept any proposal that left him in power. A few days after Ahtisaari’s visit to New York, Hillary Clinton, then US secretary of state, branded the Syrian leader a war criminal. Sir John Jenkins – a former director of the Middle East department of the UK’s Foreign Office who was preparing to take up the post of ambassador to Saudi Arabia in the first half of 2012 – said that in his experience, Russia resisted any attempt to put Assad’s fate on the negotiating table “and I never saw a reference to any possible flexing of this position”.
Jenkins, now executive director of the Middle East branch of the International Institute for Strategic Studies, said in an email: “I think it is true that the general feeling was Assad wouldn’t be able to hold out. But I don’t see why that should have led to a decision to ignore an offer by the Russians to get him to go quickly, as long as that was a genuine offer. “The weakest point is Ahtisaari’s claim that Churkin was speaking with Moscow’s authority. I think if he had told me what Churkin had said, I would have replied I wanted to hear it from [President Vladimir] Putin too before I could take it seriously. And even then I’d have wanted to be sure it wasn’t a Putin trick to draw us in to a process that ultimately preserved Assad’s state under a different leader but with the same outcome.”
A European diplomat based in the region in 2012 recalled: “At the time, the west was fixated on Assad leaving. As if that was the beginning and the end of the strategy and then all else would fall into place … Russia continuously maintained it wasn’t about Assad. But if our heart hung on it, they were willing to talk about Assad; mind: usually as part of an overall plan, process, at some point etc. Not here and now.” However, the diplomat added: “I very much doubt the P3 [the US, UK and France] refused or dismissed any such strategy offer at the time. The questions were more to do with sequencing – the beginning or end of process – and with Russia’s ability to deliver – to get Assad to step down.”
At the time of Ahtisaari’s visit to New York, the death toll from the Syrian conflict was estimated to be about 7,500. The UN believes that toll passed 220,000 at the beginning of this year, and continues to climb. The chaos has led to the rise of Islamic State. Over 11 million Syrians have been forced out of their homes. “We should have prevented this from happening because this is a self-made disaster, this flow of refugees to our countries in Europe,” Ahtisaari said. “I don’t see any other option but to take good care of these poor people … We are paying the bills we have caused ourselves.” | POLITICS |

| My kids enjoy taking hot lunches to school in thermal jars, but sometimes I get into a rut packing the same things over and over. (Refried beans and leftover spaghetti — I’m looking at you!) I don’t mind spending a few minutes making them something warm for their lunches, but time in the morning is tight so I usually don’t have time to cook something complicated. Enter the 5-minute Microwave Quiche for the Lunch Box ! It’s super fast to throw together, a great source of protein and I almost always have the ingredients for it in the fridge.
Ingredients for two lunchbox quiches:
2 eggs 2 slices of deli ham 6-7 grape tomatoes (a small handful) 1 tablespoon milk 2 tablespoons cream cheese butter (for greasing ramekins)
You will also need two 6 ounce microwave safe bowls or ramekins, insulated food jars and lunch boxes for packing the food.
First thing — put a kettle or pan of water on to boil. You’ll see why in a minute!
Then chop the ham and tomatoes into bite sized pieces. If you don’t have ham or tomatoes on hand, no worries. This recipe is extremely flexible so you can swap in different meat or veggies and still get great results.
Beat the eggs until they’re well combined, then stir in the ham and tomatoes along with a tablespoon of the milk.
Generously grease the ramekins with the butter. You really want to get a lot on there because if you don’t the eggs will stick to the bowl and you will spend a great deal of time scrubbing it. I’m speaking from experience here, so trust me on this.
Divide the egg mixture evenly among the two bowls, then drop a tablespoon of cream cheese cut into small pieces onto the top.
Is your water boiling yet? Once it is, fill your thermoses with the hot water, set the lids on top and let them sit while you finish with the quiches. Preheating the jars like this warms them up and ensures that the quiches stay at a safe temperature until lunch time. You don’t want your kids to eat luke-warm eggs that have been sitting around for a couple of hours and this step will give them a nice hot lunch.
While the jars are warming, microwave the quiches. I cooked mine for one and 1/2 minutes on the high setting then gave them a stir to help them cook evenly. I put them back in the microwave for another 2 minutes until they were cooked all the way through and very hot. Your microwave is probably different from mine though, so keep an eye on them and if they are not fully cooked after three and a half minutes add time until they are done.
Empty the hot water from the thermal jars. Run a knife around the edge of the bowl, then transfer the quiches into the now-warmed thermal jars and seal them up. Pack the rest of the lunch with simple sides. And don’t forget to pack a fork or a spoon in the lunch bag so your kid can eat the delicious quiche you made her! | FOOD & DRINK |

| IAEA chief Yukiya Amano said today Iran’s role in IAEA investigation of any past work on nuclear weapons meets the nuclear watchdog agency’s strict standards. Amano acknowledged that samples used so far in determining whether Iran tried to develop a nuclear weapon at Parchin military site were collected by the Iranian experts, but added their probe was within the IAEA guidelines.
Meanwhile, IAEA deputy director Tero Varjoranta, who along with Amano visited Parchin military site yesterday, said the criteria at Parchin included invasive monitoring by video and still cameras while the sampling took place; GPS tracking of sampling process; IAEA agreement on where the samples were to be taken; review by peers of the inspection process; risk assessment and strict observance to make sure the the procedures were followed step by step.

| Thanks to a number of injuries around the league as well as the start of byes, there is a scramble among fantasy football leagues to add to the roster. Although Week 4 features few obvious choices, there are still players who are capable of helping your team.
Most of the biggest stars from the past weekend—from Julio Jones and A.J. Green to Devonta Freeman and Joseph Randle — are already on teams. If any of these players is currently unowned, your entire league needs help. Top producers such as Chris Johnson and LeGarrette Blount should also be added, although they are likely unavailable as well.
Looking beyond these big names, however, a few quality targets are owned in fewer than 50 percent of ESPN leagues . Here is a look at the best free agents who can help immediately, as well as some who might be useful down the line.
Derek Carr, QB, Oakland Raiders
Tyrod Taylor has proved himself as a consistent performer, which makes him a must-add in leagues. Next on the list should be Derek Carr, who is coming off back-to-back impressive showings.
After an injury-shortened Week 1, the Raiders quarterback came back with 665 passing yards, five touchdowns and only one interception in the past two weeks combined. His play has helped him earn the respect from veteran teammates such as Charles Woodson:
With top weapons around him in Amari Cooper, Michael Crabtree and Latavius Murray, Carr has a lot of opportunities to spread the ball around and put up good numbers.
Andy Dalton has also proved himself as a consistent producer in the regular season, but a tough upcoming schedule against quality defenses (Kansas City Chiefs, Seattle Seahawks, Buffalo Bills) should cause some hesitation.
Karlos Williams, RB, Buffalo Bills
LeSean McCoy fantasy owners have earned the right to be nervous. The presumptive starter was completely overshadowed in Week 3 by Karlos Williams, who finished with 110 rushing yards and a touchdown on 12 carries.
Meanwhile, McCoy only managed 16 rushing yards on 11 carries while still being limited by his hamstring injury. According to Rand Getlin of NFL Network, this is likely to keep him out at least next week:
This makes Williams a must-own player in all fantasy leagues as he likely takes over the starting role in a suddenly efficient offense. Head coach Rex Ryan loves running the ball, which means the rookie will get plenty more chances to shine.
After scoring a touchdown in each of the first three weeks, this could be the start of a big season for the Buffalo running back.
Thomas Rawls, RB, Seattle Seahawks
The value for Thomas Rawls won't really be clear until we know the status of Marshawn Lynch , but ESPN.com's Sheil Kapadia notes this might not be for a few days:
As a result, anyone with Lynch on his team or anyone looking for an immediate addition to the lineup should go out and get Rawls.
The undrafted free-agent rookie was a pleasant surprise in his first real game action Sunday. He finished with 104 rushing yards on 16 carries, helping Seattle overcome Lynch's absence. It was assumed veteran Fred Jackson would be the No. 2 option in the rushing attack, but Rawls came out of nowhere to show he is worthy of fantasy consideration.
If Lynch's injury ends up being serious, Rawls could be a consistent performer going forward.
Rishard Matthews, WR, Miami Dolphins
After three big games, you can no longer call what Rishard Matthews is doing a fluke. While some of his production Sunday (six catches, 113 receiving yards, two touchdowns) came in garbage time after the Dolphins were out of contention, his numbers are undeniable.
Most importantly, Matthews continues to show his expanding role within the offense with six, seven and 10 targets in consecutive weeks. The team also likes his strength to make plays around the end zone, at least until DeVante Parker becomes a bigger factor.
In addition, he sits in good company as a deep threat, per Adam Levitan of Rotoworld:
So long as he keeps it up, he will remain a worthwhile start in season-long fantasy leagues.
Long-Term Options
Just because a player won't make an immediate impact for your fantasy team, it doesn't mean he doesn't warrant a roster spot. You can be ahead of the rest of your league by adding some of these long-term sleepers.
Jonas Gray and Antonio Andrews both led their team in rushing yards for the first time in Week 3, finishing with 49 rushing yards apiece. The problem is that others in the backfield are capable of making plays in each situation, and the future delegation of touches is unclear. They are both worth a speculative add, but proceed with caution.
Other players in a similar situation are DeVante Parker, Devin Smith and Maxx Williams. None of the three produced many highlights in Week 3, but it's clear their teams are trying to get them involved with a lot of targets. Most importantly, all three were high picks in the latest NFL draft and have obvious talent to make a difference if they get more chances.
Although none of the trio is likely to get many fantasy points in the next couple of weeks, they all could be valuable commodities by the end of the season.
The last major category is the players who actually had big numbers Sunday. Kenny Britt (seven catches for 102 yards) and Gary Barnidge (six catches, 105 receiving yards and a touchdown) were among the most surprising performers in Week 3.
Unfortunately, it's tough to trust either of them to be major factors after just one week. You can add them in the hopes last weekend wasn't a fluke, but don't go overboard.

| “Ideas over People” cartoon by nakedpastor David Hayward
[Like this cartoon? Get a quality print for your home or office HERE for just $19!] Rev. Gretta Vosper is a minister in the United Church in Canada, and she is presently the pastor of West Hill United Church in Toronto. She is an atheist. Here’s some background . You can also read the story on West Hill’s own website . Please read up. It’s a fascinating and frustrating story. For me anyway.
Gretta has written two books, Amen: What Prayer Can Mean in a World Beyond Belief , and With or Without God: Why the Way We Live is More Important than What We Believe .
She is going to be tried for fitness for ministry. She will be asked to confirm her vows.
Yes, it’s a heresy trial.
It reminds me of the famous heresy trial of Bishop Pike that began in 1962. The attacks he received, Gretta receives.
She’s getting some support, even and especially from her own congregation. However, the attacks she’s getting online is immense. One day, in her defense, I wrote a response to someone’s negative post about her on Facebook:
“My point is a simple one, although controversial: Gretta has the right to believe what she believes or doesn’t believe. She represents a growing number of Christians or people who wish to continue associating with the Christian religion and its community. Therefore, her valid voice must be allowed a place in the institution where people like her wish to gather. This whole story is so reminiscent of the Bishop Pike heresy trials that began in 1962 and should be a lesson to us. But the church is unwilling to bend at all for the millions of people like them.”
She has the right to believe what she wants. That’s what she stands for. And I support her!
Anyway, in this supportive post she’s quoted as saying, “how one lives is more important than what one believes”, and it reminded me of the cartoon above that I drew back in 2010.
I’ll be writing and cartooning more about this important story.
Why do I care about this? Because what she’s standing up for is what I stand up for: your right to believe what you want to believe, as Bishop Pike said, in a way that does not offend your intellect or your conscience. Do you want space to believe what you want to believe… or even not believe? Consider joining as at The Lasting Supper !

| I'm used to my nursing students disappointing me so I wasn't too surprised at the 74% class average on the easiest test they're getting. What DID disappoint me was my biology pre-meds. I'm going to cut the beginning chapters out next year and should have done it this year. That said I had two of them score at 50% for stuff they've had in three other classes and one slept thru the alarm and missed it. The class is at 11:30.
So everything premiered today. Let's see what's what
The Big Bang theory - Utterly disappointing.
Gotham
Ugh this didn't do it for me. Or should I say Gordon's storyline didn't. I was fine with most everything with one giant caveat. Gordon killing a mobster while robbing him for the Penguin? Really? Thanks. You don't come back from that. So thanks for ruining him.
Also What the hell is up with Barbara? I know Arkham is a pit but why is she the ONLY female inmate locked in with a bunch of men. Like this would ever happen. Gotham is starting on shaky ground.
Minority Report Just not a Tom Cruise fan. That said, I liked this. I liked it rather a lot. I liked the female lead and Dash though he looks too young to be who he is unless I misheard something. They were freed in their 20s and I got the impression the Pre-cogs ended years ago. He didn't look 30ish to me. I was annoyed she put her weapon down in that stand off. Why oh why do they always do that. On the flip side, she looks like she could be a real cop instead of a 90 lb model. I can see this getting a bit too soapy for me but right now I liked it.
I skipped Castle figuring i can see that online if I want to bother. I tuned into Blindspot instead. And yay for her looking like she could have been a SEAL. She needs more muscle for that really but again it doesn't look like you could snap her like a twig.
Even bigger yay for her having TROUBLE fighting those two men. I am SO tired of shows where this tiny, twig of woman lays out a huge man with one blow. This looked like a real, chaotic fight and I appreciated that. Also huzzah for NOT dropping your fucking gun in a stand off.
Now the idea that someone tattooed all this on her and it will solve crime IS a huge stretch to be honest but it harkens back to the Illustrated Man. I don't see how anyone could orchestra all those crimes and why in the world would he? But still I'm interested.
As for the neurological damage someone studied amnesia and talked about it in the proper terms so kudos.
ANd as I said I liked the new Who but man I have friends who hated it. They want it to be DARK. And I'm like was Dr. Who ever super dark? Not since I've been watching it. Serious yet but not dark. I'm like just go watch almost any other SF on tv right now for that and leave the Doctor with some levity.
Also I tried watching Breakfast with Baker and I still don't like the old Who....
Also wildrider this album I'm listening to by James and the Wild SPirit, Hearts+Knives might be up your alley. Not sure if it's actually Americana but it has that sort of feel to me | ENTERTAINMENT |

| Drew Peterson's murder-for-hire trial in southern Illinois has been postponed until early next year.
The former suburban Chicago police officer is charged with soliciting an inmate to kill Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow, who prosecuted the 2012 case in which Peterson was sentenced to 38 years in prison for the bathtub drowning death of ex-wife Kathleen Savio.
A Randolph County judge on Tuesday granted a request for more time by Peterson's court-appointed attorney. A trial set to begin in November is now scheduled to start Feb. 29.
The ex-Bolingbrook sergeant is challenging wiretap evidence he says was improperly obtained, with a Will County judge first meeting with a jailhouse informant before considering the request to secretly record Peterson. Associated Press | LAW & CRIME |

| Campaigners outside of the UN building in New York on the eve of the Sustainable Development Goals Summit. (Photo: Marisol Grandon/Department for International Development via flickr/cc)
This post originally appeared on Common Dreams . Click here to see more of Andrea Germanos’ articles .
World leaders gathered at the United Nations on Friday and adopted a set of development goals —from eradicating poverty, to achieving gender equality, and taking urgent action on climate change—but they’ll only be achievable, according to anti-poverty organizations, if we bring an end to business-as-usual.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon described the objectives for 2030 known as Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as “bold yet achievable” and “the result of the most open and transparent consultation process in the history of the United Nations, in which individuals, community organizations, businesses, scientists, academics and other partners worked with Governments.” The goals’ stated focus is “leaving no one behind.”
Celebrating their adoption, Winnie Byanyima, Executive Director of Oxfam International, said the SDGs are “ambitious on paper—and they could be historic in their impact. They seek to go beyond band-aid solutions by setting out to eradicate—not just reduce —extreme poverty and hunger in every country.”
Yet, her statement continued, “To leave no one behind, we have to understand the many barriers people face, from economic and gender inequality to how the most vulnerable are the most affected by climate change. The goals are achievable, but it cannot be business as usual. Governments—rich and poor—must defy vested interests that seek to maintain the status quo at the expense of people and the planet.”
But is those “vested interests” being seen as partners, not problems, that sets up a roadblock to meeting the SDGs, argues Nick Dearden, director of Global Justice Now.
He writes that
this wish-list comes with no historical background of how we got here, and no political strategy for how we get out. As such it relies on a mixture of more market and more technically competent governments. There’s no sign that the economic model itself is broken – just that it needs some tuning.
Take one obvious gap: trans-national corporations. They aren’t mentioned in the SDGs, yet the power of corporations is fundamental to the staggering levels of inequality which afflict the world, and are at the centre of an economic model quite prepared to burn the planet in its drive for ever more profit. It is impossible to realise the targets of the SDGs without tackling corporate power. […]
In short, power doesn’t exist in the SDGs. The chapter on inequality nowhere mentions that the problem of poverty is inseparable from the problem of super-wealth; that exploitation and the monopolisation of resources by the few is the cause of poverty.
The SDGs were adopted followed the Pope Francis’ address to the 193-member UN General Assembly, in which he said the “‘‘right of the environment’ does exist” and that “Any harm done to the environment…is harm done to humanity.”
CIDSE, an international alliance of Catholic development agencies, stated, “International leaders must heed the words of the Pope.”
“Human rights and the respect of the environment must be central to the implementation of the new Sustainable Development Goals agenda and the Climate agreement in Paris,” said Bernd Nilles, CIDSE Secretary General, in a statement issued Friday. “In this respect, the need for a fair and binding agreement on climate change at the UN Summit this December is essential to change course,” Nilles’ statement continues.
And environmental group 350.org stressed that achieving the SDGs necessitates tackling climate crisis.
“There is no development on a dead planet,” stated 350.org Executive Director May Boeve.
“The Sustainable Development Goals will remain a list of empty promises if world leaders do not also commit to ambitious action to tackle the climate crisis,” she said. “The text of the goals recognizes as much, expressing serious concern about the gap between current pledges to reduce emissions and the actions that science and justice demand.
“Rich countries, who are responsible for the bulk of emissions, must move first and farthest, ending fossil fuel subsidies, fulfilling their pledge of $100 billion a year of climate finance, and helping mobilize trillions towards the clean energy revolution,” Boeve continued.
Yet the SDSs do represent “the world we want,” and “they must and can be realized,” said Amnesty International Secretary General Salil Shetty.
In his address to world leaders ahead of the adoption of the SDGs, he said, “Coherence and consistency is essential.”
You cannot claim to support sustainable development when you are reluctant to reduce the consumption of the rich or transfer technology. You cannot preach about human rights while practicing mass surveillance. You cannot lecture about peace while being the world’s largest manufacturers of arms. You cannot allow your corporations to use financial and tax loopholes while railing against corruption. You cannot adopt the Sustainable Development Goals and at the same time attack and arrest peaceful protesters and dissenters. You cannot launch these Sustainable Development Goals and in parallel deny a safe and legal route to refugees, a life with dignity.

| Shirley Williams has been writing for the Independent about the pernicious influence of big money in politics in the US. She writes about the huge amounts of money being poured into Republican campaigns, how this clearly gives them advantages in access to the voters through the media. More worryingly, she outlines what appears to be a strategic approach of using the courts to abolish funding limits and of gerrymandering congressional districts to again give themselves an advantage at the expense of others.
She gives a very stark warning about why this is a bad thing. We need to think that we have a realistic chance of getting rid of our government if we don’t like them. A politics where you have to have the backing of the stinking rich to succeed is not exactly likely to benefit all and will lead to disillusionment:
Negative campaigning has badly affected voter turnout in the United States, as has the sense that money determines election outcomes. In the 2014 mid-term elections, the most expensive ever, voter turnout was the lowest for seven decades at 36.3 per cent nationwide. In 12 states – including New York, California and Texas – not even a third of the electorate bothered to vote. Cynicism and apathy are killing democracy.
It is imperative in a democracy that those opposed to the government of the day can cherish the prospect of peacefully changing its leaders and its policies. Otherwise the alternatives are some form of violent action, a revolution or a coup.
She praises the UK system of giving special status to the Opposition and the British obligation to ensure balanced coverage, at least during an election period. However, with big money becoming as important here and the Conservatives’ ability to outspend all-comers, politics is a pretty scary prospect at the moment. Few watch the very worthy political programmes on the BBC. Most people will see billboards everywhere showing Alex Salmond picking your pocket.
The article is pretty shocking in outlining what should be seen as outrageous abuses of a democratic system;
Republicans have waged a successful campaign to improve their position at the Congressional level too. In many states, turnout in such elections is low and a well-organised and funded campaign can carry the day. In the US, the boundaries of Congressional districts are determined by state legislatures, not by an independent boundaries commission. In some states, boundaries have been gerrymandered to determine the outcome. For example, concentrating the votes of African Americans or Hispanic Americans in a few districts, to render others marginal. It is an activity in which both major parties engage, but once the boundaries have been agreed by the legislature, changing the political complexion of the state can become very difficult indeed. One political analyst told me that winning a majority in Congress was now close to impossible for the Democrats.

| Irving, Texas Mayor Beth Van Duyne appeared in Glenn Beck’s bunker on Tuesday evening to defend her city’s response to Ahmed Mohamed, the ninth-grader arrested at school for making a clock. She also indicated that there’s something fishy about Mohamed and his family. I wonder where this is going. In the week since the Dallas Morning News’ Avi Selk broke the Mohamed story, a fun cottage industry of Ahmed Mohamed conspiracy theories has sprouted up, many of them on the hairier sides of the right-wing internet. They are, briefly: that the clock was a bomb, that the clock was a “trigger” for a bomb, that the clock wasn’t even something Mohamed invented and he’s just a big phony, and/or that the whole incident was an advance attack by the harbingers of Sharia law and the foes of God-fearing Christianity as we currently practice it in these here United States. Grab your snorkel, let’s go way, way under: That Clock Was a Bomb “Suspiciously bomb-like,” as the very reputable Pajamas Media puts it. Or at least looked so much like a bomb as makes no difference, as the Palin family has theorized. Both Bristol and Sarah have said that Mohamed’s “contraption” looked pretty suspicious to them, as a family of expert clock-makers. Advertisement That Clock Was a Trigger for a Bomb As Selk pointed out in the DMN on Wednesday, soon after the story broke, a “self-professed electrical engineer” said on Facebook that the clock totally looked like a “COUNTDOWN CLOCK.” For a bomb. That remains a popular theory. In this telling, then, the Irving police are the heroes that prevented a kid from totally blowing up his school. At Town Hall, a fellow named Jim Hanson—more on him in a sec—claimed the clock looked just like an IED: But as far as the other question, was the clock device he brought to school a legitimate cause for concern, the answer is an unequivocal yes. I have built and taught classes on improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and the clock he brought to school is a dead ringer for the trigger used on many of these homemade bombs. Hanson claimed that the clock looked just like an IED “used to kill US troops in Iraq,” in that both have circuit boards. Here is a side-by-side comparison of Ahmed’s clock and an Iranian-made IED trigger used to kill US troops in Iraq. Even more so, above is a picture of an IED training device sold to US law enforcement agencies to help them identify and learn how to deal with homemade bombs. They would have been deficient in performing their public safety duties if they had not done a full examination and investigation of the device, it’s presence at school and the person who built it and brought it there. Again, apparently a “full examination and investigation” evidently involved detaining Mohamed, but not evacuating the school or sending in a bomb squad to detonate this terrifying pencil case. Also unclear in this theory why the “countdown clock” counted up, like a clock, and not down, like a timer. Who could know, right?
There Was *Something* Weird About that Clock, Anyway, And This is Totally a Big Publicity Stunt In her appearance on Glenn Beck’s program, Irving Mayor Van Duyne advanced this one, saying Mohamed’s family has “refused to answer questions” or talk to her office or the school: “The school and the city each had meetings with the family on Tuesday,” Van Duyne said. “The family cancelled.” They also didn’t show up for a re-scheduled meeting the following day, because they were at a press conference at their home, she said. “We have tried to reach out to the family a number of times. And this by the way was before it ever hit the papers.” She added that the media wasn’t “investigating both sides” of the incident. “I’ll tell you right now, we’ve heard more from the media than the child ever released to the police when we were asking him questions. He told a lot more to the reporters than he ever told to the police. There’s a problem with that. If your child was in that school, and you saw something like this come in, you would want to make sure—it is our priority to make our children safe in this school, period.” A few moments later, Beck agreed that something was awfully funny about the media attention, and especially President Obama tweeting about the story. “Didn’t you find it interesting the president was on a story about a school in Irving, Texas—he’s on that story before most of America is even aware of it?” Beck said, meaningfully. “We never even got a call from anybody from the White House asking to verify any of that information,” Van Duyne added. “In fact, I don’t even think the picture of the hoax bomb was released before he tweeted out, ‘Cool clock, kid.’” Hoax bomb. That Clock Was an “Advance Attack” for Some Spooky Muslims Someplace Next to Van Duyne on that Beck genius panel was Jim Hanson, who you may remember from a few paragraphs ago, and who is the executive vice president at an outfit called Secure Freedom. Secure Freedom describes itself as a non-partisan national security think tank; much of their current activities seem centered around warning that sharia law and jihad are steamrolling their way towards America. Hanson sees the Mohamed story as a testing ground of some kind for the vague and threatening forces of Islam and their future sinister plans. “Shocking that CAIR was there ready,” Hanson said, referring to the Council on American-Islamic Relations, who gave the Mohamed family legal and media assistance. “They were ready to deploy hashtags and lawyers and everything. The kid wouldn’t answer questions when the school was asking him or the police were asking him. But the second the cameras and the microphones turn on, he’s like, ‘It’s because my name’s Ahmed, it’s because I have brown skin, it’s because I’m a Muslim.’ He was coached.” But coached for what purpose? Secure Freedom is theorizing on their website that the clock incident was an “influence operation” and a controversy staged by CAIR to specifically target Irving and Van Duyne, who previously expressed a not-at-all-Islamophobic fear that “sharia law courts” would invade North Texas. (The “courts” she was concerned about was a mediation and arbitration service at the local Islamic center, whose own website, as Snopes points out, stated that any mediation they offered, for example in a marriage dispute, had to follow the laws of the United States.) But what’s CAIR’s endgame, or the endgame of whichever vague and spooky Muslims are behind that kid’s clock? To Beck, Hanson had an answer for that one too. “This was a success, it was a raging success for them,” Hanson said, not specifying who “them” might be. “They are celebrating and dancing, and they’re planning their next influence operation. Because that’s the correct term for this. An influence operation, it deploys—you take a situation and you create the appearance of something bad, to get an effect. They created the appearance of an anti-Muslim bias where there was none, where there was pure public safety concern, and they use that to portray Muslims as victims, Americans as bigots, and our system as stacked against them.” Ahmed Mohamed is an American citizen. Hanson said “they,” whoever they are, “will do that again.” And here, finally, the purpose of the clock/bomb/hoax became clear, at least to him: And what they’re trying to do is censor any criticism of Islam. And that allows them to do things like impose sharia tribunals, like the mayor shut down, and use Islamic law to supplant U.S. law.” That Clock Was Totally Fake and Mohamed is a Big Ninth-Grade Phony Occupying much of the same part of the internet is the claim that Mohamed didn’t invent a clock anyway, he just took one apart and reassembled it. Richard Dawkins also likes that one. Fox News thinks maybe the whole thing was a “purposeful hoax” for Mohamed to collect money and media attention and sue for big bucks: And In Any Case, There’s Something Weird About That Whole Family Who, May We Remind You, is Named “Mohamed” Elsewhere in the land of people with too much time on their hands, we have people referring to Mohamed as “the son of a belligerent Muslim activist,” because Mohamed ElHassan has run for president in his native Sudan and criticized Quran-burning Florida preacher Terry Jones. That pales next to the best Mohamed conspiracy theory, or rather, a somewhat confused set of theories about the family’s business dealings. The main one accuses Mohamed’s uncle of running something called “Twin Towers Transportation,” the implication being that the family likes to mock September 11. That blogger does manage to find time to mention the address for said business. It’s on North Stemmons Freeway in North Dallas, in an enormous office park called...the Twin Towers. In any case, something is certainly very fishy here, and the right-wing internet will angrily tweet pictures of circuit boards and random people with beards until it’s all sorted out.

| Antimycobacterial and Antiplasmodial Activities of extract of Propolis from Different Region in Java (Indonesia)
Syamsudin 1 , Maria Lina Rosilawati 2 and Yatnita Parama Cita 3
Laboratorium of Pharmacology, Faculty of Pharmacy, Pancasila University, Jakarta, Indonesia. Laboratorium of Moleculer Biology, Pusat Aplikasi Teknologi Isotop dan Radiasi-BATAN, Pasar Jumat,Banten, Indonesia. Department of Microbiology, School of Health Sciences, East Jakarta, Indonesia.
Abstract: The antimycobacterial and antiplasmodial activities of ethanolic extracts of propolis were evaluated after a preliminary phytochemical screening of extract. The antimycobacterium activity assay employed the disc-paper method, while the in-vitro antiplasmodial activity assay used the SYBR green methods. The result of the disc-paper method is the propolis extract, starting from 10 mg, has antimicrobial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and the strongest one is from propolis of Sukabumi (West Java) which has hindrance zone of 22.01 mm when the dose is 20 mg. The in-vitro antiplasmodial activity assay shows that the propolis extract of from Lawang (IC50 37.34 ±1.23 ?g/mL for Plasmodium falciparum strain D6 and 89.45 ± 2.13 ?g/mL for strain W2) is better than the ones from Sukabumi (IC50 215.23 ± 2.32 ?g/mL P. falciparum strain D6 and 453.23 ± 3.45 ?g/mL for strain W2) and Batang (IC50 189.98 ± 1.34 ?g/mL P. falciparum strain D6 and 356.89 ± 2.34 ?g/mL for strain W2) tested by SYBR Green I methods.

| “They’ve printed the chip on a piece of Gorilla Glass that has been ion-exchanged to temper it, which increases the stresses inside the glass. Then, when you want to get rid of the evidence, a small resistor built into the chip starts to heat up. This causes the glass (and circuit) to shatter into a thousand pieces — and since the whole piece of glass was stressed, it continues to break into smaller and smaller pieces, for up to 10 seconds afterwards!”

| EUGENE — Coming off a game in which the Ducks won and his unit was questioned, secondary coach John Neal said there are two things his players know coming into Michigan State week. First: They need to play better. Second: The only way that is going to happen is with an increased focus in practice. And the best way to jolt focus into an inexperienced unit? A matchup against Michigan State Connor Cook, who Neal compared to one NFL legend on Monday. "He kind of reminds me of Tom Brady," Neal said. "He's got a coolness to him that I always like in a quarterback. He's very poised. He's got pocket presence, see the field, has great experience." And presumably, Cook is licking his chops this week after watching film of an Oregon secondary that was carved up by FCS-level Eastern Washington. In Oregon's 61-42 win over the Eagles, the Ducks allowed 438 passing yards and five touchdowns. Oregon's secondary, which is retooling after the graduation of Ifo Ekpre-Olomu, Troy Hill and Erick Dargan was beaten on routes and missed tackles. It was a surprising performance given how smoothly every other unit seemed to handle the Eagles. Make no mistake, the Eagles had talent. Jordan West confidently replaced Vernon Adams Jr. under center and Cooper Kupp's Autzen Stadium record 15 receptions and 246 yards didn't come just by luck. It was a good offense, but Neal wasn't exactly shocked at his team's performance on Saturday. He wasn't pleased with what he saw in practice leading up to the game and now, heading into a game against No. 5 Michigan State and Cook, who is 23-3 as a starter, Neal needs to see some improvement. And the players know it. "There were some mistakes that we could fix. We could have worked harder and done a better job of some things in the game," sophomore cornerback Chris Seisay said. "I just feel like, it's just things that we didn't want to do it. Just focus-wise, we weren't focused coming into the game. We're focused on staying more focused in practice." The Ducks will need every ounce of focus they can get this week, as Neal expects Cook to test his unit early and often. Neal said Cook is one of the best deep ball throwers in the league. In Michigan State's 37-24 win over Western Michigan, the 6-foot4, 220-pound senior threw for 256 yards and two touchdowns. A year ago, against a veteran Oregon defensive backfield, Cook went for 342 yards and two touchdowns. Needless to say, there won't be much let up a week after Eastern Washington made 55 attempts through the air. The wild card in all this is the spotlight. The Ducks knew they would score a lot of points against Eastern, and maybe the defense came out lackadaisical because of this. Neal expects Saturday to be much closer, and because of this he's hoping his players will wear the added veil of responsibility accordingly. "What a great opportunity to move forward," he said. "...I think the defense is going to rise up and give us a chance to win the game, because both sides have to be involved in a game like this." -- Tyson Alger

| “We live in separate moral universes, and we seem to encounter each other only on the battlefield,” says Greg Forster. “Our imaginative worlds are also separate; everyone watches different movies and shows, reads different blogs, listens to different music.” But one exception, Forster notes, is what he calls the “New Disney”: Pixar (which Disney bought in 2006) and the Walt Disney Animation Studios (2006-present). While they may seem like entertainment for children, the movies being released by the New Disney are shaping our moral imagination. A few examples Forster gives are Princess and the Frog and Toy Story 3:
Princess and the Frog (2009) - This movie is about work and business. Aristocrats who feel no need to work (Prince Naveen and Charlotte) are superficial fops; they gain dignity when they learn to support themselves through their own efforts. Those who covet the money and power work creates fall into the grip of dark forces. But even among those who work for nobler purposes, there is an irresolvable tension. We must – it is our nature – strive to build and create, to dream big and then work hard to make our dreams come true. However, those dreams can also consume us, and injustice or misfortune can take it all away. We must learn to be content if our work does no more than provide us with what we need. Toy Story 3 (2010) - This, strange as it may seem, is a movie about politics. The nature of political community grows from our understanding of the meaning of human life, and the great political conflict of our own time is between two views that are contrasted in this movie. If we exist to serve a purpose higher than ourselves, the political community can have a standard of justice that transcends the will of the rulers. Hence the toys in a good child’s room, who exist to serve the child, have a free and virtuous social order. But if we have no higher purpose – if, as the villain declares, “we’re all just junk headed for the dump” – then our rulers will treat us accordingly. Hence the toys in the day care live in a prison camp. (WALL-E touched on similar themes, although in a more economic context; those who live for nothing but pleasure are fit for nothing but slavery.) Over against Hayao Miyazaki’s attempt to build an anti-political cosmos in Howl’s Moving Castle and The Wind Rises, Toy Story 3upholds the nobility of the political vocation and the justice – articulated by no less a philosophical authority than Barbie herself – of government by the consent of the governed. Read more . . . Joy for the World: How Christianity Lost Its Cultural Influence and Can Begin Rebuilding It The church in America is losing ground. Unfortunately, our efforts to reverse this trend often seem to do more harm than good. In Joy for the World, Greg Forster explains how the church lost its culture-shaping voice and what Christians can do to turn things around.
This book teaches us that the key to cultural transformation is something that we might not expect: explosive, Spirit-produced joy in God and his gospel.Add to Cart Category: Political Culture

| THE STOLEN CHILD W. B. YEATS Where dips the rocky highland
Of Sleuth Wood in the lake,
There lies a leafy island
Where flapping herons wake
The drowsy water-rats.
There we've hid our fairy vats
Full of berries,
And of reddest stolen cherries.
Come away, O, human child!
To the woods and waters wild
With a fairy hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping than
you can understand.
Where the wave of moonlight glosses
The dim grey sands with light,
Far off by farthest Rosses
We foot it all the night,
Weaving olden dances,
Mingling hands, and mingling glances,
Till the moon has taken flight; p. 60
To and fro we leap,
And chase the frothy bubbles,
While the world is full of troubles
And is anxious in its sleep.
Come away! O, human child!
To the woods and waters wild,
With a fairy hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping than
you can understand.
Where the wandering water gushes
From the hills above Glen-Car,
In pools among the rushes,
That scarce could bathe a star,
We seek for slumbering trout,
And whispering in their ears;
We give them evil dreams,
Leaning softly out
From ferns that drop their tears
Of dew on the young streams.
Come! O, human child!
To the woods and waters wild,
With a fairy hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping then
you can understand.
Away with us, he's going,
The solemn-eyed;
He'll hear no more the lowing
Of the calves on the warm hill-side.
Or the kettle on the hob
Sing peace into his breast;
Or see the brown mice bob
Round and round the oatmeal chest.
For he comes, the human child,
To the woods and waters wild,
With a fairy hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping than
he can understand.

Whether it’s because we love to binge-watch an entire season at once, or because they’re just taking more risks and bringing more innovative programming than the cable networks, there’s usually at least one Netflix series that you’ve binge-watched over and over again. And, amongst them all, none is as big as Orange Is The New Black. Orange Is The New Black, a series based on the memoir written by Piper Kerman, basically started a cultural phenomenon. Everyone was obsessed with knowing what happened to the women inside Litchfield from season to season, and it became nearly impossible not to binge-watch the entire season within 24 hours of release. From perky blonde Piper to queen of the kitchen Red, from the prison guards to the adorable Morello, we love following all the inmates episode to episode. When you’re that interested in a series (or when you’re eagerly awaiting the next season after accidentally binge-watching way too many episodes), you soon start to wonder about the actors and actresses outside of their characters. You start to wonder who came up with Flaca’s crazy makeup, and what the real Litchfield is like. Well, we’re here to satisfy your curiosity, and maybe provide you with a few facts to share during the next OITNB season release/binge-watch session.

Topics: Brief Description: A brief description of the Most Popular Topics of this Release are: Clearly the Personality of José Gervasio Artigas is the Main Topic of this Release, as it will be of the whole Stamps of this Permanent series.
Then, the Personality of José Artigas also could be included in wider Topics as Uruguayan Personalities, Uruguayan Militars, and of course in one dedicated to National Heroes. Finally, surrounding the Personality of José Artigas some Topics arises. The first that cames to our mind is History, in particular the History of Southamerica, focus on the Emancipation of Southamerica, or the Liberty of Southamerica, or the Spanish American wars of independence, as José Gervasio Artigas was one of the most notorious figures of that Emancipation. Also the Ideologies associated with him, as Federalism and Liberalism, even a last one centred on his figure called Artiguism, are clearly represented in this stamp. Finally, by his great labour in the Uruguayan Army, Militaria is another topic directly associated with this issue. Then, the desing of the Issue is very simple so only the Portrait type of Painting Art Topic is added, as all the stamps from the Permanent Series will have the portrait with a Close-up of the Face of José Gervasio Artigas performed by the Artist Miguel Angel Tuala, based in the work "Artigas en la Ciudadela", an Oil Painting of one of the most worldwide known Uruguayan Painters as it is Juan Manual Blanes.
The difference between the stamps of this Permanent Series will be only the Facial Value and the Colour in which the Portrait of Artigas is printed. In this case the Facial value is 10 UYP, and the Colour selected for this Stamp is Plnk.
If you consider that there are another topics in this stamp, that were not spot in this review, you are encouraged to telling me about them, so please do not hesitate to post a comment. I would appreciate your help very much. | CULTURE & ARTS |

| Michael B. Jordan addresses his ‘All Lives Matter’ backlash by DatzHott on September 26, 2015 in Hott Culture Leave a comment Recently, Michael B. Jordan received backlash for allegedly jumping on the controversial All Lives Matter bandwagon via Snapchat. Many thought the move was particularly ironic and misguided given his role as Oscar Grant in Fruitvale Station; a movie about a young black man who is unnecessarily killed by police on New Years Day. Now the New Jersey native has shared an open letter published by Essence, in hopes of clearing the air. Read his entire statement below. I have been a professional actor for most of my life, but being regarded as a leading man is new to me and has taken some getting used to. Recently I had the opportunity to be featured on the cover of one of my favorite magazines. In the interview, several points that I shared were communicated in ways that do not reflect my true feelings and opinions. In addition, there were reports written about me elsewhere that simply aren’t true. I’d like to set the record straight. First and foremost, I believe that Black Lives Matter – unequivocally and without exception. I have never said, written, snapchatted, tweeted, Instagrammed or implied anything to the contrary. Any report that states otherwise is a complete fabrication. I portrayed Oscar Grant in my first leading role in a feature film, Fruitvale Station. I am a founding member of the Blackout for Human Rights Network. I gave a speech just a few months ago on the importance of the Black Lives Matter Movement at the BET Awards. It is frustrating to see a false claim stirred up on social media which has caused my supporters to question where I stand on this crucial issue. But I am confident that my history and continued engagement with my community will speak louder than unfounded rumors. Secondly, it is challenging to have a nuanced conversation about race and Hollywood period. This sensitive subject becomes even more complicated when you’re dealing with soundbites and articles. A simple idea or opinion can be abbreviated and distorted as it is communicated to readers out of context. Allow me to be clear about my ideas on roles traditionally reserved for White actors. My goal is for my choices and opportunities, as well as those of my fellow actors and actresses of color, to be predicated on our talent, ability and passion and not on false notions of what color an artist must be to play certain roles. I’ve had the honor to portray Black characters written and directed by Black filmmakers—a privilege that too few actors of color enjoy because of the challenges of Black artistry and access behind the camera. But in addition to those wonderful roles, I also want to have the option to play all kinds of parts with no door closed to actors and actresses like myself. Lastly, my fans who are women mean the world to me. This is especially true of Black women, who as a group have supported my work long before the industry knew my name. I deeply regret and am ashamed that I said anything to disappoint or disparage them. I apologize with my whole heart for referring to women in the way that I did. The word ‘female’ used in the manner that I did is dismissive and strips women of their humanity. It is a slang term that guys sometimes use to sound slick and cool coming up. But words have power and I realize now more than ever that this careless language is dehumanizing, inappropriate, and immature. I’m a better man than that. This reference to women will not come out of my mouth publicly or in private again. In all, although some of what I said was taken out of context, I take full responsibility for the interview and I apologize for the hurt and confusion it has caused. This has been an important lesson for me. I humbly ask my fans to grow with me, as I learn more about myself and this industry. Thank you.

| The best people to ask about managing finances are the ones that make lots of it in the shortest amount of time like our well-known local showbiz personalities and big time athletes. Because they receive payments on a per-project basis, sound financial management is needed so that all their hard-earned money will not go to waste. We all know that managing money is not easy, especially with a lot of temptations around – from payday sales in malls to splurges for the must-see and must-haves of the season. A bright and secured future may seem hard to attain, but with self-discipline and enough knowledge on financial management, being money-wise is achievable at a young age-whether earnings are big or small. Other than the basic tip, “save for the rainy days,” here are money management tips from seven young popular Kapamilya Stars that anyone can try: Daniel Padilla In a KrisTV interview, Karla Estrada shared that Daniel’s earnings go to his mandatory savings account. A mandatory savings account will develop the habit of saving more than spending money, especially among young people. Kim Chiu Kim takes Daniel’s advice up a notch by saving half of her earnings. In a Philippine Star article, she revealed that she saves a big chunk from her earnings because she wants to secure her future. Julia Barretto At her young age, Julia is already learning the basics of investing from her mom, Marjorie Barretto. She shared in an online entertainment site that her mother is slowly teaching her on properly investing money. Julia also says that she dreams to establish her own business someday, which she says can be a clothing line or a restaurant franchise. Enchong Dee Enchong says that he once tried his luck in the stock market twice, but notes that after he earned, he pulled back his money since he is very careful with losing his hard earned cash, according to a news article. Robi Domingo “The Voice Kids” host Robi also shares the same view with Enchong in investing in stocks, but says in ANC’s “On The Money” that before thinking about growing your money, it is best to know how to manage it first. Robi reveals that he is meticulous with his expenses and keeps an excel file to take note of his expenditures so at the end of the day, he knows the numbers. Matteo Guidicelli Cinema One’s leading man for “Single/Single” and triathlete, Matteo Guidicelli comes from a family of entrepreneurs. In the Philippine Star, Matteo says that he asks advice from his parents on how to save and invest properly so that his money doesn’t go to waste. He is also thinking of starting his own business soon. Shaina Magdayao Matteo’s leading lady for “Single/Single,” Shaina Magdayao is a role model in managing finances wisely. At 25 years old, she already owns several businesses. Recently, Shaina launched an educational after school program called Engineering for Kids with fellow business partners. She shares with ABS-CBNnews.com that kids have a soft spot in her heart that is why she made a wise investment in an educational program that makes learning fun for kids. About Latest Posts

| What are priorities of the South Sudan transitional government By Beny Gideon Mabor
Link to web article here. The recently concluded agreement on the resolution of conflict in South Sudan is widely criticized of its ambitiousness in every thematic area and will likely be problematic in its implementation.
According to the public discourse on the peace agreement organized by Ebony Centre for Strategic Studies in the third week of August, 2015, many speakers of our sunrise generation were worried about the agreement, being much overdosed with structural functionalities. The same worries are heard on the streets of South Sudan from common men and women on the possibility of implementing the peace agreement which is seen by others as an imposed peace deal by the regional and international powers.
But reading the peace agreement from third party point of view, the summary intention or underlying idea in this agreement are two main things namely: the deconcentration of executive powers from single appointing authority to different appointing authorities at all levels of government. In other words, it is rejuvenation of the existing devolution of powers under decentralized system of governance but with watertight inter-governmental linkages and not the usual business. The second objective is an attempt to address the biggest challenge of institutional reforms at all levels.
Therefore, what is your critique again if this is the case to be addressed? What have we learned so far since the formation of the government of South Sudan in term of institutional legitimacy or competence of public officials deployed? What has become the result of dysfunctional institutions in December 2013? And finally what legacy or record of duties is the government of South Sudan going to be proud of and leave to the present and upcoming generations? The answers to these begging questions are addressed in this peace agreement if the political leadership exerts good will to implement it in later and sprit.
In light of this background, the strategic priorities of the would-be transitional government of national unity in a crosscutting format would include but not limited to: implement the agreement with promise of no return to war. Second, initiate process of reintegration of refugees and internally displaced persons into their normal life through special reconstruction fund and reparation process. The third agenda is to fully subscribe to the institutional reforms provided under the agreement particularly revitalization of establishment orders, clear programme of activities and procedures for appointment of the mandate holders.
Procedurally, evidence shows that appointments in the transitional governance arrangements are set on robust and transparent processes usually by an adhoc committee tasked to receiving applications, scrutinize them and recommend appropriate candidates for parliamentary vetting and approval and subsequently appointment by the President.
The fourth priority is to establish a national and competent professional army and beyond to develop national security architecture that clearly defines division of roles and responsibilities between different security organs and systems. Today, there is thin line between roles of the army and that of other organized forces which have negatively affect our condition of living. The fifth is to revive the existing and well developed South Sudan development plan 2011-2013 and to enable the national legislature appropriate a budget as per demanding priority than to say everything is a priority and lastly to develop South Sudan foreign policy which is none-existing in the first place. It was so unfortunate that South Sudan function as a member of the community of nations without its foreign policy agenda toward its cooperating states.

| At Dreamforce 2015, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff sat down with Travis Kalanick, the CEO of Uber, to talk about the ride-sharing company's business model and its vision for a future filled with robots and self-driving cars.
Talking about how Uber is not only disrupting the taxi business, a nervous Kalanick lit up when he discussed how his company is changing the world by providing reliable transportation.
Uber's principle, Kalanick said, is to always deliver a reliable ride that's high quality and safe. The company accomplishes this through a combination of technology, algorithms and operations.Uber's journey
In San Francisco alone, Uber onboards over 1,000s of drivers every week and its operations team helps predict demand. When Benioff asked how demand changes when there is rain, Kalanick responded by saying that the price of an Uber ride increases when demand outstrips supply "so we can be reliable."
To help manage demand, Uber uses technology. Drivers use a heat map to find out areas where there is high demand. However, as more drivers target parts of a city with high demand, this removes part of the demand, and what we have left is residual demand. New drivers will use residual demand to figure out where they need to be to generate more income, and the goal is to have drivers pick up customers within five minutes. The Uber story
In a city, taxi drivers can spend as much as $140,000 a year renting a license and car to operate a taxicab. For that money, Kalanick said, they should be driving a Bentley. This is where Uber comes in. Kalanick said that Uber serves a purpose to fill the gap because the taxi system is broken. Drivers benefit with cheaper upstart costs and passengers benefit with rides that are up to 40% cheaper, at least in the city of San Francisco. When Uber started, Kalanick focused on the high end of the market, offering black car rides. He ran some numbers and began cold calling limousine companies pitching that he can help them make up to 50% more income each week. About one-third of those companies were interested, and his business partners found that drivers were even more interested in the mobility that Uber affords. The business model
Each Uber product, spanning Uber Black to Uber Pool, operates on three premises. The first is that the service must deliver convenience to customers. The second is that the service should be affordably priced, and Kalanick said that Uber has to inject a certain amount of magic as the third principle. With Uber Pool, the product isn't quite as profitable as other Uber products, but Kalanick said it offers the same amount of convenience at a much more affordable cost to riders. The product is part of a broader vision to reduce the number of cars on the road. First, Uber Pool makes it more affordable than owning a car, and second, if more people ride Uber Pool, the service would reduce congestion on city roads.
Currently there are over 100,000 people in each city every week riding Uber Pool, and over 50% of the rides that Uber provides in San Francisco is now an Uber Pool. Uber delivers about 1,000 rides per minute on average. Kalanick said that the goal of Uber is to provide transportation for everyone and everything everywhere. This is a broad vision, as Benioff jokingly said that every car will become an Uber. The goal allows Uber to expand into new areas of service to grow the business, including delivering food, groceries and packages within a city. This is different from a service like UPS, which Kalanick said is good for long distance deliveries. As this happen, Kalanick predicts that city commuters will regain an hour of their day back, time that would otherwise be lost in traffic.
And transportation everywhere means not just the big cities for Uber, but also in rural areas and in remote places where finding a ride may not be easily accessible. The future
But Uber isn't stopping there. Despite its business model's reliance on drivers, Uber is ready and willing to accept a future with driverless cars. "We're a technology company," Kalanick proclaimed. "We embrace the future."
Citing that 30,000 people die every year in the US from a car accident, Kalanick said that driverless cars are safer than human drivers on the road. Additionally, with algorithms, connected vehicles can route drivers efficiently to eliminate traffic. Kalanick wouldn't say when this future would happen, but he wants Uber to help with the transition. For Uber's business, it would mean that human drivers may eventually lose their jobs, but Kalanick said that the beauty of technology allows us to reinvent, create new expertises and jobs and continue to disrupt.
The worst thing for Kalanick and Uber would be to be resist change, to essentially become the taxi companies that Uber is displacing by not embracing technology. | SCIENCE & TECH |

| We're just back from a week in Norway.....a couple of days in Oslo and a couple of days in Bergen. On the way back, we stopped off in Copenhagen. It was the first time I'd been to Scandanavia.....
Oslo
Bergen
There once was a Norwegian trading 'empire' along the coasts of Scotland, Ireland and northern England for about 250 years (790-1066 CE). My Dad had picked up a story explaining the meaning of our Ravey family name. It suggested that the Irish Ó Riabhaigh - the Dark/Devilish ones - was 'cos at some point in the Viking ascendancy the Ravey clan group had a link with the traders.....The traders had a reputation for ruthlessness - hence the name given to children they'd fathered round the coast of Carlingford, Norse Kerlingfjǫrðr.....'children of the devil'!
Carlingford - county Louth
But the people we met in Oslo and Bergen were gentle and oh so helpful......Viking has been associated with rape and robbery in the 'British' tradition; but they were simply harbour/vik people, living in a violent, macho competitive age - like our own. Maybe the Riabhach clan were fathered by Viking traders; but now I've experienced the charm and gentleness of Norwegian people, I'd like to think of the original Devil/Riabhach in quite another light!....
I'm not well-traveled, but I like to have a few words and phrases of the language of the people whose 'territory' I'm visiting. It's partly out of respect for them and it's partly 'cos I don't want to feel completely alien. Unfortunately, this time, the book/CD that'd have helped didn't arrive till the morning we were leaving. So I had only two or three words/phrases in Norwegian. One of them was: Do you speak English? And the answer invariably was: Yes!......
Norwegian children learn English from first grade - age 5.....lessons every day till they leave school. But, despite the dominance of a Danish-speaking class until the 1840s, Norwegian is the daily language - conversation, writing, the media and commerce - of the country's 5 million citizens....and that's despite the universal domination of Anglo-Saxon culture/language in the international media and commerce.
As we walked and traveled by plane, train and ship during our brief stay, I thought about the tragic language loss suffered by Liverpool's working-class Children of the Great Hunger........
Fjord near Bergen
.....After surviving a thousand years of vicious and deliberate cultural genocide, the Riabhach clan that came to Liverpool from Carlingford, lost their language/our language completely. It's bitterly ironic that this happened at the same time that the people of Norway were asserting their cultural identity, the poverty-stricken majority of Liverpool's Irish refugees lost our most precious inheritance.....
So, I make a mad proposal......that the education authorities across Merseyside put Irish/An Ghaeilge on the primary school curriculum.
I leave this short blog with another photograph of Carlingford Lough, the Irish-speaking home of Máire Nic Aoidh and Pheilimí Ó Riabhaigh. While you look and reflect, you can listen to the Norwegian national anthem. The Old Norse spoken by the Viking/Harbour People is echoed there.
Why, oh why, don't we sing our own song?.......

| Bruce Dewey. Elder at the Lenoir City, TN Seventh Day Adventist Church.
Bob had been taking driver ed. classes and was wanting to get some behind-the-wheel experience, so his dad was surprised when Bobby asked him to move the car so he could shoot some baskets in the driveway.
“Why don’t you move the car?” his dad asked.
In reply Bob again mumbled something about his dad moving the car so his dad said, “I will get in the car with you while you move it.”
After getting the car Dad questioned Bob about the proper procedures to take, and after naming a few Bob said, “You know, Dad, there’s a lot of different between learning these things in the classroom and putting them into practice.”
What Bob said is also true when it comes to developing and maintaining a relationship with God.
We can be taught the things we need to do, but it’s a different matter when it comes to putting them into practice.
And like Bob’s dad getting in the car with Him, we always need the help of the Holy Spirit to keep us on the right track because it’s not something we can do on our own.
Christ said that Spirit of Truth, or the Holy Spirit will guide us “into all truth.” John 16:13
And when it comes to resisting temptation Christ said, “Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Matthew 26:41 (KJV) | RELIGION |

| Auburn Speedster Barn Find
The American answer to the lightning fast Bugatti, Bentley and Rolls-Royce automobiles coming out of Europe in the 1920s was the Auburn Speedster, a car designed by Gordon Buehrig that was audacious even in the heady days of the pre-Great Depression United States.
It’s difficult to say anything about the design of the Auburn Speedster that hasn’t already been said a dozen or more times. Essentially, it’s a staggeringly beautiful coupe with swept-back aerodynamic styling that allowed it to reach speeds in excess of 100 miles per hour. Very few people had travelled over the fabled 100 mph mark at the time, most cars struggled to reach 60 mph, and air travel was still very much a luxury.
Before the arrival of the Speedster, Auburn was in rather poor condition. Just 6 cars a day were being sold in 1924, when the enterprising car salesman Errett Lobban Cord took over executive duties. He brought in new designers and encouraged them to create something that would really create a stir – even when compared to models offered by companies like Duesenberg .
The Auburn Speedster was an immediate hit in the United States and won over some rather important fans in Europe too – including land speed record holder Sir Malcolm Campbell, who used one as his daily driver.
A number of engine options were offered over the 12 year production run, the naturally aspirated inline-8 was the most common and depending on the year, it could produce anywhere up to (and over) 125 hp. The three-speed synchromesh transmission along with the dual ratio axle gave the Speedster a 6-speed transmission, which was ideal for everything from long-range cruising to inner city driving.
The 1929 Speedster you see here has had a rather interesting life, it was discovered in a forest in New Jersey and saved back in the middle of the last century.
Local legend attributes ownership of the car to George Putnam, the New York publisher and more famously, the widower of Amelia Earhart.
Putnam owned a first generation Auburn Speedster and lived in the area where this one was discovered, it’s not known what happened to his car but local residents were adamant that he’d parked the car in the woods for reasons only he would ever know.
Although it’s clearly in very poor condition, the market for these cars is expansive. It’s impossible to buy one for even close to $200,000 USD so the estimated value on this one of $60,000 to $80,000 puts it into the affordable catgegory – and if the restorer was able to verify its Putnam ownership it would be worth well in excess of $1,000,000 USD.
If you’d like to read more about the car or register to bid on it, you can click here to visi t the listing via Auctions America.

| Small Firms Slow to Embrace Chip-Card System By Ruth Simon Many small businesses aren’t racing to update their checkout systems ahead of an Oct. 1 shift that will put merchants on the hook for some fraudulent card charges.That is the date when retailers are expected to begin using new security technology that accepts credit and debit cards with microchips, and for banks to have replaced their magnetic stripe cards with cards that use chip-enabled technology.After the October date, merchants that haven’t switched to point-of-sale systems meeting the new EMV—short for Europay, MasterCard and Visa—standard will generally be liable for losses when they physically accept counterfeit credit cards. Losses tied to counterfeit cards are expected to hit a record $3.6 billion this year, estimates Aite Group, a financial services research firm, from $1.7 billion in 2011. Banks that issue credit cards currently cover these charges.About 10% of U.S. small businesses were victims of payment fraud, including the type of credit-card fraud the switch aims to prevent, in 2013, the most recent data available, according to Javelin Strategy & Research.iHospital, a Tampa, Fla.-based owner of seven Apple repair stores, began switching to the new chip-card system in August. “We are in the technology business and we wanted to be ahead of the game,” said iHospital Chief Executive Ross Newman. The new readers accept the Apple Pay mobile-payment service, another plus, he added. Small businesses typically will pay $150 to $600 for each new payment terminal, industry officials say, though mobile readers can be had for less than $100. Some vendors are offering special promotions. Payments startup Square Inc. in June began offering merchants one Square reader that meets the new chip-card standards at no charge. Square won’t say how many have taken up the offer, or whether the new readers will be delivered by Oct. 1, though it promises to cover EMV-related chargebacks for small businesses that have ordered the new reader.iHospital’s switch will cost about $15,000, or roughly $600 per terminal. “We use a custom system so our options are really, really limited,” said Mr. Newman. In all, merchants will spend $7 billion on new payment terminals and related software, estimates Strawhecker Group, a payments consulting firm.Many small businesses aren’t switching, mainly because they don’t know about the shift or don’t see any payoff from the new systems, which are slightly slower. Nearly two-thirds of companies with 500 or fewer employees say they aren’t ready for the October switch versus 44% of larger merchants, with more than 1,000 employees, according to a survey of 579 businesses to be released later this month by the Ponemon Institute, a research firm. Valerie Koehler, owner of Blue Willow Bookshop in Houston, plans to stick with her current payments system, which was replaced a few years ago, instead of purchasing a new terminal in advance of the changeover. “I have not taken a charge back in 15 years,” said Ms. Koehler, whose average transaction is $30 to $50. “I am more likely to take a bad $100 bill, just because the staff wasn’t paying close enough attention.” Jason Oxman, chief executive of the Electronic Transactions Association, a trade group, said the change “is not a mandate. If you don’t have any fraud at your store, then the EMV migration fraud liability shift is not particularly relevant.”Merchants that sell big-ticket items and smaller items, such as gift cards, that can be easily resold are most vulnerable to counterfeit fraud. “Something as small as a $10 gift card can be very easily monetized,” said Patty Walters, a senior vice president with payments processor Vantiv Inc. “A $500 spa gift certificate, not so much.” Even after the shift, small businesses may not be held responsible for some small purchases made with counterfeit cards, said Carolyn Balfany, a senior vice president with MasterCard Inc., noting that card issuers often don’t pass on liability for high-volume, low-risk transactions where merchants aim to keep lines moving, such as fast food and cups of coffee. Some small-business owners complain about aggressive sales tactics from independent sales organizations that sell payment services to small companies. Shelli Warren, owner of Y’all’s BBQ and Produce in Tyler, Texas, said she signed a contract to lease a card processor in March after the salesman said the switch-over was mandatory. “He had me in fear that that day or the next day I wouldn’t be able to run a credit card because of the smart chip,” said Ms. Warren, who said she is currently paying about $42 a month for the equipment. The switch-over won’t solve all payment fraud. In the U.K., losses due to counterfeit cards fell by 56% between 2005 and 2013, after chip-enabled cards were rolled out, according to Aite Group, but online fraud jumped by 64%. Payment industry officials say they also are trying to prevent a run up in online fraud with new security measures such as tokenization, in which card numbers are turned into unique digital codes. “There are now more solutions to identify and detect online fraud,” said Stephanie Ericksen, a vice president with Visa Inc.

| Martine Ehrenclou has a great article titled Patients Secretly Record Visits with Their Doctors that is worthy of further discussion. Here’s an excerpt from the article to get the discussion started:
Since I suspected this office visit might contain some complicated and possibly stressful information, I considered recording what the surgeon said by using an app on my iPhone. I envisioned asking the doctor’s permission to record the conversation and decided against it because he might not have responded well to that idea. Some physicians and other providers react with suspicion and a defensive medicine posture when asked by patients to record what they’ve said.
My husband’s surgeon had a reputation for highly successful surgeries but not the greatest bedside manner. He’d always been pleasant with us, but since my husband’s recovery had been compromised with episodes of pain, I decided that an audio device could have instigated alarm. That would have interfered with the doctor’s focus on Jamie. With only 7-10 minutes, we had to make the most of this office visit. I wanted my husband out of pain.
In place of an audio recording, I took notes instead.
I’m sure that many patients have gone through the same situation. They want to have the valuable information that the doctor has shared, but they’re afraid of the impression they’ll give the doctor if they tell them they’re going to record the visit. Unfortunately, that’s the culture of fear that we’ve created in our healthcare system. Doctors are rightly afraid of the medical malpractice implications of anything they do.
The article goes on to talk about some patients who secretly record their visit with their doctor. A commenter and the author both described this trend of patients secretly recording doctors visits as alarming. However, that feels like a bit of a contradiction to me. The article talks about how asking your doctor to record the visit could compromise the patient-doctor relationship. In order to avoid compromising it, recording the conversation privately seems like the natural alternative.
What’s worth noting is that these private recordings might not be admissible in court depending on your state. I’m not a lawyer, so I’m not sure of the exact laws, but I know that in many states both patients have to be aware that a recording is being made. This should actually provide much comfort to doctors. If a secret recording isn’t admissible in a medical malpractice case, then the doctor should be glad that the patient is secretly recording the visit. It would illustrate that the patient really just wants to review what the doctor said as opposed to trying to ensnare the doctor in some legal lawsuit. Sounds like deep patient engagement to me.
Since pretty much all of us now have an audio recording device in our pocket (better known as a cell phone), this topic is going to become more and more popular. More and more patients are going to want to record their office visit. No doubt some will do this in full disclosure to the doctor and others will do it privately.
I wonder when we’ll see the first doctors flip the script on the patient and suggest that the patient record the office visit. We probably won’t see this happen for the full visit anytime soon, but you could easily see the doctor recording the plan and instructions part of the visit and sending it to the patient or the doctor encouraging the patient to record it themselves. In fact, I recall Kareo doing something like this for doctors using Google Glass. It’s a happy medium where the doctor is likely more comfortable having what they say recorded. A great part of a patient portal would be a list of all the things a doctor’s instructed the patient as part of a visit.
Of course, all of this leads to my concept of a video EHR that captures the audio and video of every visit. I’ve been talking about it more and more lately. I’ll have to do a full post on my vision for a video EHR in a future post. If the idea of a video EHR makes you uncomfortable, that’s no surprise. However, it’s not as far fetched as you might think.

| Asia Miles is Cathay Pacific’s frequent flyer program, so it’s obvious that Cathay would want to incentivise flying and loyalty to both brands.
Asia Miles are one of the more proactive programs out there, often running promotions to earn more miles on specific routes, as well as, of course, offering Asia Miles on most Cathay Pacific operated flights.
This guide covers off where to find these promotions, plus how and when they may make sense to use them.Earning bonus Asia Miles when flying Cathay Pacific flights
The first place to check for bonus Asia Miles is the earn offers page of the Asia Miles website, which lists out all the currently available offes. As great and relevant offers come about, I’ll update this guide.
Given Cathay Pacific’s Hong Kong hub, many of the offers are understandably centred around travel from Hong Kong, but if your travel plans align, it’s worth knowing about these bonuses as they can be pretty lucrative.
Most of these promotions need pre-registration, which is why it’s worth keeping an eye on them in case you’ll qualify.
As of September 2015, these are the current bonuses:Double miles on Cathay Pacific between Düsseldorf and Hong Kong – need a German Asia Miles accountUp to triple miles on Cathay Pacific and Dragonair from India to Hong Kong – need an Indian Asia Miles accountDouble miles on Cathay Pacific between Canada and Hong Kong – need a Canadian Asia Miles accountUp to quadruple miles on Cathay Pacific between North America and Hong Kong – need a US Asia Miles account and travel originating in the USDouble miles on Cathay Pacific and Dragonair between Mainland China and the US – need a Chinese Asia Miles account
If an overseas account is needed, that obviously makes the promotions harder to use, even if your travel plans match. There may be ways around this, essentially switching your account address, but these should be done with caution.
To understand how many base miles you’ll earn for a Cathay Pacific, Dragonair or partner flight accrued to Asia Miles, you can use the ‘Airline Earn Calculator’.
Right now, these are going to be of use for a limited number of Australian travellers, but there have been some very useful promotions in the past.Example – previous bonus Asia Miles offers for Australia
This is what Asia Mles are offered in July and August 2015 for Australian members travelling to/from Hong Kong:
If you booked online with Cathay Pacific there was an additional 1,000 bonus miles, and on top of that, if you were a new member, another 500 miles.When does it makes sense to take advantage of these offers?
Generally they are going to be useful only when the eligible flights match your existing potential travel plans. The bonus miles may well sway you to travelling on Cathay Pacific over a competitor, however it’s unlikely they are going to be lucrative enough to buy and travel just to earn the miles.

| DJ Mustard is ’bout his business in the studio but as the multi-platinum producer’s bank continues to grow, so does his contributions back to the community.
Fresh off his record-breaking 2015 BMI R&B/Hip-Hop Awards appearance , the 10 Summers general recently surprised more than 800 students at the Audubon Middle School and Gifted Magnet Center in his Los Angeles childhood neighborhood – Leimet Park. The young scholars each received backpacks filled to the brim with essential school supplies, courtesy of Mustard and Puma.
“When I was growing up, we never had anyone who made it out the hood come back and talk to us at school. I came here today to let them know they are on the right track and that I was in their shoes so it’s possible to be successful. Just keep going. It helps for kids to see that for themselves in person and not just on TV or in magazines.” DJ Mustard remembers.
Mustard lingered around to pose for pictures and sign autographs for all takers and 10 Summers recording artists RJ and Choice were also on deck to show support.
Check out the pics from the giveaway below and on the flip side.

| When preparing summer month weddings, business picnics and family reunions, it is essential that you think about specific ideas for the party. This is because without those ideas the celebration or event that you are planning might fail to kick off. The pointers that you must think about for the celebration are:
Tents, tables and chairs
When you invite|welcome people over for a picnic or reunion, you must guarantee that the chairs and tables are enough for everybody. If some people get to the place late and discover that there are no chairs or tables, they might feel offended. Make a rough quote of all the visitors you anticipate to have so that you can have the best variety of chairs and tables. When you guarantee that there is order in the seating plan, then you can place name sticker labels on the chairs if it is a wedding. This will guarantee that just those who had actually been accounted for get the seats.

Concessions
When individuals go to celebrations or occasions, most of them anticipate that they will get to enjoy some meal during the event. Because of this, it is very important that your visitors have adequate food for the celebration. Your guests will take pleasure in the many concessions that are available. Kids will enjoy the snow cones and fairy floss that will be available. Consider renting snow cone machines with an assortment of flavors available. The food ought to be fresh and placed in clean containers. If the plates and glasses that are utilized have any dirt or dust, this may leave an extremely unfavorable impression on your guests.
Slides and Bounce Houses
Summer month weddings are usually very vibrant and lively. If you are holding the reception in the backyard or in the park, then you should consider having slides and bounce houses. The bounce house will be utilized by the kids who can spend hours jumping up and down in the castle. This will keep them active and they will not disturb their moms and dads during the whole occasion. The slides will add color and life to the wedding.
On Website Assistant
Whether it is a company picnic, summer season wedding or family reunion it is extremely important that you have somebody who understands the inflatables or any other devices that may require operation throughout the occasion. The on site attendant can help in arranging the kids and in case there is a problem they can always be sought advice from. | OTHERS |

| After dinner at Deer Garden Signatures, we wandered over to Breka Bakery for dessert.
Cakes are generally $4.25 for a piece about 3"x3"x2", although you may find some things less than that, such as a Rum Ball for $2.75. Tastiness is generally good to very good.
Savory sandwiches are rubbishly priced at $7.50 or so for sad looking sandwiches that doubtless look better after the toasty panini treatment on site. But "grilled cheese" -- which looked no more than slices of cheddar between white bread -- was $6.50. Really?
At the same time, whole 6" tortes were only $8.50 and a massive poppyseed roll that's probably the size of your forearm was only $9.50.
Prices at Breka defy understanding and may be related to how long they've sat in the displays.
Rum Ball ($2.75)
About tennis ball sized. Super-firm, almost like fudge. Where's my rum? | FOOD & DRINK |

| As Republican presidential candidates vow to tear up the Iran deal — at least five of them say they’ll do it on their first day in office — Republican rivals Donald Trump and Jeb Bush have been using more nuanced rhetoric.
“One thing I won’t do is just say as a candidate: ‘I’m just going to tear up the agreement on the first day.’ That sounds great, but maybe you ought to check in with your allies first,” Bush said at a campaign event in Carson City, Nevada, in July. “Maybe you ought to appoint a secretary of state, maybe a secretary of defense. You might want to have your team in place before you take an act like that.”
Bush added that he thinks it’s “important to be mature and thoughtful about this.”
And Friday morning, in an interview with MSNBC, Trump said that, while it is a “disastrous deal in so many ways,” he wouldn’t tear up — he would renegotiate it.
Trump, who will be attending a rally with Texas Sen. Ted Cruz next week against the Iran nuclear deal, said, “We have a horrible contract, but we do have a contract.”
“I love to buy bad contracts when key people go bust and I make those contracts good,” Trump said, adding that “politically, and certainly for the nomination, I would love to tell you I’m going to rip up this contract, I’m going to be the toughest guy in the world … but you know what? Life doesn’t work that way.”
Trump said that while the Iran deal was “negotiated by totally incompetent people,” the U.S. has lost the power of sanctions.
“I will make that agreement so tough, and if they break it, they will have hell to pay,” Trump said. | POLITICS |

| Sodom and Gomorrah did not get there in A Day. We are watching the "Sodomization" of America. How long will it take before the "gays" are stalking the streets Looking for those they can "rape?" I suspect it will not be long. Who is behind this "Sodomization" of America? The godless, Socialist, Secular Humanist RELIGION-- Obama and the Democrats--Major US Corporations-- Those in positions of Influence in every facet of American life-- ALL Those Against God and His Word. Already they are the Murderers of the Unborn; There is No Depth of Depravity to which they will not Stoop. How is this possible in our so called Modern Society? What does Scripture tell us about such things? Listen: What has been will be again, What has been done will be done again; THERE IS NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN. Is there anything of which one can say, 'LOOK THIS IS SOMETHING NEW'? It was here already, long before our time. (Ecclesiastes 1:9, 10) THERE IS NO FEAR OF GOD BEFORE THEIR EYES. (Romans 3:18) Listen to the apostle Paul: We have already charged that ALL MEN (WOMEN), Both Jews and Greeks, ARE UNDER SIN-- Held down by and Subject to it Power and Control. As it is written, NONE IS RIGHTEOUS, Just and Truthful And Upright and Conscientious, NO NOT ONE. [Ps. 14:3.] NO ONE UNDERSTANDS—No one Intelligently discerns or comprehends; NO ONE SEEKS OUT GOD. [Ps.14:2.] ALL HAVE TURNED ASIDE; Together they have gone wrong And have become Unprofitable and WORTHLESS; NO ONE DOES RIGHT, NOT EVEN ONE! Their throat is a Yawing Grave; They use their tongues to Deceive-- To Mislead and to Deal Treacherously. The Venom of Asps in beneath their lips. [Ps.5:9; 140:3.] THERE MOUTH IS FULL OF CURSING AND BITTERNESS. [Ps. 10:7.] And they have no Experience of the way of Peace-- THEY NO NOTHING ABOUT PEACE, For a Peaceful way they do not even recognize. [Isa. 59:7, 8.] THERE IS NO (REVERENTIAL) FEAR OF GOD BEFORE THEIR EYES. [Ps. 36:1.] (Romans 3:9-18, AMP) SCRIPTURE has just defined for us American Society today; A Pagan Culture determined to go the way of all the Pagan Cultures That preceded her. Only at this time we are at the END of TIME! At the End of the Six Thousand Years God established to work with mankind. The Thousand Years of Rest is coming; The return of Christ Jesus to Reclaim the Earth He Created And to Establish His Kingdom on Earth as in Heaven; In Jerusalem on Mount Zion. (Zechariah 14:9) The Ignorant, godless, Socialist, Secular Humanists KNOW NOTHING about what is COMING! Or Who is coming. At this time, Satan is preparing the Entire World To receive his son, the Beast of Revelation, the Antichrist; GOD'S POWERFUL DELUSION. (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12) Today Christians are Turning from God's Word to please the godless Society, BECOMING APOSTATES! Just as Christ Jesus foretold: AT THAT TIME MANY WILL TURN AWAY FROM THE FAITH And will Betray and Hate each other, And Many False Prophets will appear and Deceive MANY PEOPLE. BECAUSE OF THE INCREASE OF WICKEDNESS The love of MOST will grow cold. But he who stands Firm to the End will be Saved. (Matthew 24:10-13) Who Believes Christ Jesus? Be always on the Watch, And pray that you will be able to Escape All that is about to happen, And that you may be able TO STAND before the Son of Man. (Luke 21:36) Today, the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2) America is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God. Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40) As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha! Father, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven! | RELIGION |

| As Ella put it, "Messy Mommy. Clean it up!" about my sewing room and how it might have spread out into the main basement area. I will admit that I wasn't really enjoying being in there work at all so I mostly avoided it. But once Ella and Nate got on to my case I realized I better clean the mess up.
With Nate's help we pulled EVERYTHING out of the sewing room and sorted through it.
These are the bags of fabric I had around, from projects that were finished but I just didn't put away - this is also embarrassing but its time people know the truth.
This pile here is projects. Either cut out and bagged and ready to go, or fabric and patterns that need to be cut. There is a middle pile that I didn't take a photo of, it was of just cuts of fabric and scraps.
After 2 evenings I was able to sort it all and get it put away in a more orderly fashion and one that I can actually work with.
Now I'm down there quite a bit puttering away on projects that I'm enjoying and enjoying being in the space again. | CULTURE & ARTS |

| Dyson might soon add electric cars to its bustling product portfolio. The company is best known for making premium consumer vacuums, but clues recently dropped by the company's CEO have suggested it might also be known one day for making energy-efficient vehicles. We're not kidding. The firm's chief executive said Dyson is already looking to put its technology into various different areas, and because of that, it hasn't ruled out the possibility of releasing a car. Keep in mind Dyson invested millions earlier this year into Sakti3, a battery company with technology advanced enough to power Dyson-built electric cars. During Dyson's earnings call on Friday, Max Conze, CEO, said the Wiltshire-based company’s engineers are capable of delivering what he described as breakthrough technologies: “Sakti3’s focus is on creating batteries for our hand-held devices, but Sakti3 has the best remit to deliver breakthrough technology into other industries." According to The Telegraph, when prodded about whether Dyson would ever rival Tesla by applying Sakti3's battery technology to electric cars, Conze added: “We are ruling nothing out... Like our friends in Cupertino (where Apple is located) we are also unhealthily obsessive when it comes to taking apart our products to make them better.” Ironically, Apple is also rumoured to be developing electric cars. Conze refused to comment on specific areas of interest currently being explored by Dyson, but if the company were to build its own electric cars, it might end up competing with not only Tesla but also Apple. | SCIENCE & TECH |

| It's Hard Out Here for a Pope sticker in Philadelphia By A.D. AMOROSI and REESE AMOROSI
For the third and final leg of his visit to America, Pope Francis hit Philadelphia for a two-day stop – September 26 and 27 – and an itinerary that includes a mass at the Cathedral Basilica of Ss. Peter and Paul, a prayer stop at Independence Hall, a concert in his name at the Festival of Families event at Eakins Oval and (on the 27th) a large outdoor service on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. For all the deserved holy pomp and circumstance, there are many humorous elements on display during Papa Franciso's visit.
It's funny to see how Pope Francis' trek to Philly has inspired a host of imitators: at every non-Pope related concert that A.D. covered this week (including alt-J, Jesus & Mary Chain and R. Kelly), there were dudes dressed in Papal robes blessing anyone who asked. All around the area there we've seen life-sized Pope Francis cut outs standing in doorways of shops and bars, establishments public and private hosting "Popapalooza" events (and people using the #Popapalooza hashtag on social media), and souvenir vendors setting up sidewalk shops with t-shirts, buttons, plaques, Argentinian flags and more. Three of our personal favorites were found in South Philly – an area densely populated by Italian and Mexican Catholics – between the Italian Market and East Passyunk Avenue area. First, folks stopping by Capogiro for gelato will notice their window has the Pope on a pizza box; the second illustrates how we are all God's creatures: a papal costume for canines available at Doggie Style (a shop with pet food and merchandise). Finally, on the hip hop tip, we noticed a sticker on the side of a PGN newspaper honor box across the street from Philly's dueling steak shops – Geno's and Pat's – that reads, "It's hard out here for a Pope."

| The GOP candidates have focused their presidential ire on illegal immigration. Donald Trump has leap-frogged the pack by assailing Mexicans seeking a better life in El Norte as rapists, murderers, and drug dealers. Wisconsin governor Scott Taylor had the backing of the infamous Koch Brothers, but has lost ground in the early polls out of Iowa to Trump and this week Walker announced on TV that building a 5000 mile continuous wall between the USA and Canada from Maine to Washington State and also along the Alaska frontier intended to stop 10,000 violators crossing from Canada to the USA each year, although last year US Emmigration agents arrested less than 1000 Canadians. The cost of a top-of-the-line fence would be about $18 billion US. The cheaper version prices out at $1.5 million per mile or $$75 million, but almost anyone could get over that fence. No one else is talking about the Canadian Wall, except for Scott Walker and the news media, because the best guard on the border and Old Man Winter, which I know as a native of Maine. Here’s the river crossing at Fort Kent, Maine. Looks like ISIS could drive across the St. John’s River in the blink of an eye. | POLITICS |

| 9" x 12" textured oil painting by Niki Gulley Day 6, Provence Art Trek: Plein Air Painting and Photography Workshop
with Niki Gulley and Scott Williams On the last day of our Provence Art Trek, we decided to stay right at our b and b to paint since it was so beautiful. Meanwhile the photographers explored the nearby area and others just relaxed by the pool. Choosing what to paint was a challenge since the grounds are so picturesque. Myself and another painter set up our easels by this lovely courtyard, with this stately tree surrounded by cascading roses, while another chose to paint lavender lined walkway and another set up by the ancient Roman bridge on the back of the property. It was a gorgeous morning and everyone's paintings turned out great! That evening we gathered for a final critique and "show and tell" from the trip. The photographers presented their best images in a slide show and provided us with happy memories from the trip, while opening our eyes to creative possibilities we never considered. The painters showed off their talented creations from each day of the trip and swapped ideas of which aspects they liked best. For dinner that night, we gathered for one more delicious meal of escargot, filet crusted in mushrooms and chocolate volcano cake washed down with some amazing red wine. Having formed new friendships and enjoyed wonderful memories from the trip, our Provence Art Trek had come to a bittersweet end. Next summer we will be leading an Art Trek to Spain and the following year we will be headed to Tuscany, England and Ireland, so if you've always dreamed of painting, photographing and sightseeing in Europe, please join us for one of these amazing trip! Details will be coming soon on nikigulley.com/artreks. Please check out my website at NikiGulley.com, NikiGulley.com to see more of my contemporary impressionist oil paintings.
E-mail Niki Gulley for more information.

The US House of Representatives passed a spending bill that prevents a government shutdown by funding federal agencies through December 11. It has passed through both houses of Congress and will now go to the president’s desk for signing.
The measure also extends the expiring charter of the Federal Aviation Commission and funds emergency measures to fight wildfires, and was passed with a vote of 277-151.
Before reaching the House, the bill passed through the Senate by a vote of 78-20 earlier on Wednesday. Senators Marco Rubio (R-Florida) and Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina), who are running for president, were absent from the vote.
Many feared that a shutdown could happen because of opposition to taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood within the Republican Party. Conservative opposition to funding Planned Parenthood with federal money was emboldened by a recent string of undercover videos that implicated the organization in the trafficking of fetal tissue.
Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards testified before the House Oversight Committee on Tuesday that 86 percent of the organization’s non-government revenue comes from performing abortions.
The measure is only a stopgap measure to buy Congress more time to craft a longer-term spending bill. Still looming are negotiations involving the raising of the national debt ceiling.

| Farnborough woman sues after contracting severe gastric illness at holiday resort 08:10, 7 September 2015 By Natalie Garland, Lisa Baldwin was celebrating her 40th birthday at the resort and required medical attention when she returned home to Farnborough Nicholas Pitt Lisa Baldwin, inset, became ill at the resort in Sharm El Sheikh she visited for her 40th birthday celebrations Travel lawyers have been instructed for the second consecutive year regarding an Egyptian resort after a Farnborough holidaymaker was brought down with severe gastric illness. Lisa Baldwin was celebrating her 40th birthday at the five-star Sensatori Sharm El Sheikh Resort in Egypt in July, but needed medical attention on her return home to Farnborough. She developed gastric symptoms on the last day of her stay, which were so severe she endured a difficult flight home. Her symptoms continued back in the UK and Lisa was so unwell she needed one week off from her job as an area sales manager. Another member of her group had to visit an on-site clinic while on holiday after developing severe abdominal pains and diarrhoea. Now, the group are hoping for answers regarding the ordeal and have instructed Irwin Mitchell’s international personal injury team to investigate the problems on their holiday, which was booked through the tour operator Thomson. Miss Baldwin said that meat served in the hotel restaurants was sometimes under-cooked and often food was not as hot as it should be. She said food was also left uncovered in the buffet restaurant, causing flies to land on it. She recalled: “I started being sick at about 4.30pm on my last day at the resort, making my flight home very uncomfortable. “Once we landed in the UK at around 2am, I started having severe diarrhoea and very painful stomach cramps. “This holiday was supposed to be a celebration for my 40th birthday and now when I look back at it, it’s tainted with the memories of being severely ill. “I visited my doctor as soon as I could because the illness was unbearable and I really needed help. I had to have a week off work and I still have to deal with some of the symptoms even now.” This is the second year in a row Irwin Mitchell has been contacted about the resort, as they are already representing holidaymakers who were affected by illness during stays at the resort in 2014. Other families from around the country have also been struck down by illness following stays at the same resort. A family of four from Doncaster suffered severe gastric illness at the resort last November, leaving one on an IV drip. Pannone solicitors were also contacted about the resort in 2013 after guests fell ill, saying that birds often had free access to the dining areas. Another recent visitor took to TripAdvisor to describe the food at the Sensatori Resort Sharm el Sheikh served at the hotel as ‘diabolical’. Amandeep Dhillon, representing Miss Baldwin’s group at Irwin Mitchell, said: “We are concerned by the first-hand accounts we have heard regarding these issues at the Sensatori Sharm El Sheikh Resort and have started work to further investigate the problems which our clients faced. “The experience Lisa and her friends have endured is a reminder of how holiday illness can have a lasting impact on victims. “We are determined to ensure that our clients get the answers they deserve and we would like to hear from anyone who was at the resort at the time and suffered illness, as they may be able to help with our investigations.” A spokesperson for Thomson, responding on behalf of the resort, said: “We are sorry to hear of Miss Baldwin’s experience at the Sensatori Resort Sharm El Sheikh in July. “This is now subject to legal proceedings, it would be inappropriate for us to comment further. “Thomson closely audits all resorts to which we operate to ensure that health, hygiene and comfort levels are maintained in line with industry standards and this hotel continues to be a popular choice.” GetHampshire Related Thomson Farnborough Click here to view our community standards Get weekly news by email Invalid e-mail Subscribe Thanks for subscribing!

| Jim Caviezel
Savannah Movie Poster - More Posters & Photos »Jim Caviezel was born and raised in Skagitt County, Washington. The Caviezel's were a family of athletes, and Jim steered initially towards athletics, especially basketball. It wasn't until an injured foot sidelined him that he began to develop other interests. His first acting gig was an undergraduate stage adaptation of the Frank Sinatra musical Come Blow Your Horn. In the early 1980s, he re-located to Los Angeles working as a waiter and making the rounds of auditions.
He found small roles on popular TV shows such as Murder, She Wrote and The Wonder Years. He talked his way into his big screen debut as an airline reservations clerk in Gus Van Sant's My Own Private Idaho (1991) by pretending to be a recent Italian immigrant with a thick accent. He continued to get small roles in pictures such as Diggstown (1992), Lawrence Kasdan's Wyatt Earp (1994), and began to be noticed. As Slov Slovnik in G.I. Jane (1997) he made his presence felt in several scenes of intense fraternization with co-star Demi Moore.
His breakthrough role, however, was another military assignment, the brooding pacifist Private Witt in Terrence Malick's The Thin Red Line (1998), holding his own in the presence of co-stars like Sean Penn, Nick Nolte, and Adrien Brody. His evident ability to mix soulful introspection with physicality and action came to the fore over the next few years in his work in projects like Ang Lee's Civil War-era Western Ride With the Devil (1999), and in Gregory Hoblit's ingenious time-twist thriller Frequency (2000), in which he played a troubled son hooking up across two decades of time with his long-dead father (Dennis Quaid). In 2001 he starred with Jennifer Lopez in Angel Eyes, directed by Luis Mandoki. He had all the soaring range needed to convincingly play the wrongly convicted Edmond Dantes in Kevin Reynolds's adaptation of Alexandre Dumas' classic The Count of Monte Cristo (2002), and a war hero wrestling with a murder charge in Carl Franklin's courtroom drama High Crimes (2002), with Morgan Freeman and Ashley Judd.
It could be said that Jim's role in The Passion of The Christ made the ultimate demands on a performer both physically and emotionally. The actor was chosen for the role because he was willing to commit to this unique project whole-heartedly.
In 2004, Caviezel appeared with Robin Williams and Mira Sorvino in Omar Naim's Final Cut and with Claire Forlani and Jeremy Northam in Rowdy Harrington's Bobby Jones: Stroke of Genius. He will next be seen starring in the film Unknown with Barry Pepper and Greg Kinnear. He is currently shooting his next film, Outlander in Nova Scotia.

Brian and Patricia celebrate Bad at Sports’s West Coast Bureau’s aniversary a couple of weeks early.
Patricia filled this as the show note…
If I could turn back time
If I could find a way I’d take back those words that hurt you and you’d stay
I don’t know why I did the things I did I don’t know why I said the things I said
Pride’s like a knife it can cut deep inside
Words are like weapons they wound sometimes.
I didn’t really mean to hurt you I didn’t wanna see you go I know I made you cry, but baby
[Chorus:]
If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I’d take back those words that hurt you
And you’d stay
If I could reach the stars
I’d give them all to you
Then you’d love me, love me
Like you used to do
If I could turn back time
My world was shattered I was torn apart
Like someone took a knife and drove it deep in my heart
You walked out that door I swore that I didn’t care
But I lost everything darling then and there
Too strong to tell you I was sorry
Too proud to tell you I was wrong
I know that I was blind, and ooh…
[Chorus]
Ooohh
If I could turn back time
If I could turn back time
If I could turn back time
ooh baby
I didn’t really mean to hurt you
I didn’t want to see you go
I know I made you cry
Ooohh
[Chorus #2]
If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I’d take back those words that hurt you
If I could reach the stars
I’d give them all to you
Then you’d love me, love me
Like you used to do
If I could turn back time (turn back time)
If I could find a way (find a way)
Then baby, maybe, maybe
You’d stay
[to fade]
Reach the stars
If I could reach the stars

| Earlier this year we shot our first in home studio photo shoot. While it is not something we are seeking to do on a regular basis, we enjoyed the creative challenge of trying something new. I thought I would share how we put together our own DIY in home studio that anyone can do with a few white sheets and a camera!
Look at my cute little model!
We moved the furniture around to have one blank wall space.
As well as using the bar to lay a sheet down.
The contrast of the neutral walls worked perfectly with our hardwood floors.
I used things around the house, like hand weights, to hold the sheet down.
We set up the two spaces so that the subject was facing the light coming from the back door.
With a few baskets, blankets, and one cute baby - we were set! | CULTURE & ARTS |
