The film side of SXSW was kind of an added bonus for me. To be honest, if I could've at the time, I would've just bought a music and interactive ticket but that's not an option.
And so, when I woke up on about Day 5 of SXSW just wanting to curl up and watch a film after the carnage of the night before, I remembered I could, kind of.
Off I trundled to the Alamo Drafthouse Theatre to see The Alchemist Cookbook, as recommended by a girl in my hostel dorm who was the producer on it. Stupidly, I arrived dead on the showing time (thinking, 'oh the ads', not so at a film festival) and it was full. Instead I was told I could see Under the Shadow, so in I went to bag my seat.
This was the coolest cinema I've ever been in (stock photo, I like it). There was a whole menu I could choose from – water and yakisoba please – and they bought it to your seat. There was all sorts on the menu – classic cinema snacks, American diner food, a vegan menu. The seats were comfy and it looked awesome. I couldn't wait.
I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS A HORROR FILM.
I don't do horror films. Ever since that clown film IT at my friend's birthday when we were 13 I actively avoid them. My imagination is too good, and I spend too much time on my own, doing scary things (in Hostels / in Australia / in showers) to have those kind of stories in my head.
This film was terrifying. Honestly, absolutely terrifying. I watched most of it with my scarf over my face and I could barely eat the yakisoba that had been so lovingly delivered.
I wasn't going to see this as I thought it would just be another 'old man bags stunning young girl' kind of film produced by some guy going through a midlife crisis with a film budget at his fingertips to make his fantasy come true.
It kind of was, but in a more realistic, believable, desperate, sad, kind of way. And that ending, woah woah.
The Greek island looks stunning and the clash of young meets old is pretty sad for anyone who isn't young, or beautiful, or hedonistic anymore, unless you've never desired those things of course. In which case… nah, I think you'll still like it. But don't watch it with your parents, or children… NSFW!
I'd never even heard of the 'Brotherhood of Eternal Love' (a cult who deemed it their destiny to spread LSD throughout the world) or 'Orange Sunshine' (the name for the LSD) but now I have, I'm going to move to 60s California and give it a try. Or I would, if I could. Just jokes.
This was an emotional film yet fascinating as well. Featuring jail breaks, awesome vintage footage of the fashions, cars, and fun of that period in time, and a behind the scenes look at how easy it was to smuggle millions of hits in the 60s and 70s – as in SIXTY MILLION TABS, even from Afghanistan to the US. Yikes.
From Nowhere won the Audience Award – the SXSW audience loved it and I did too. It was the kind of film style I'm into: realist, a glimpse into real issues and real lives, portrayed in a believable way.
This was a tough film, showing you how difficult life is for so many people who have escaped their countries and technically don't have the documentation to prove they're from anywhere. This stops them getting jobs, houses, help, anything. I've never really thought about it before, but as it's so topical now it was really insightful.
Gleason shows the absolute pain, torture, expense and desperation someone diagnosed with ALS goes through, and their family. Just writing this reminds me of the heartbreaking scene he has with his dad where they discuss religion and whether his soul has been saved from both their different religious perspectives. It's probably the rawest display of emotion I've ever seen on TV. This is what people with life changing illnesses like ALS have to go through.
Gleason goes on to start up a foundation and is the pioneer of the whole Ice Bucket Challenge. If you want to know more about ALS, or cry until you can't breathe, see this.
Watching these films at SXSW has definitely reignited my interest for the cinema. I used to watch loads of interesting films, not just blockbusters, but since I split up with my ex in London who was into the latest releases and followed the film world, I haven't actively sought anything that wasn't shown at the cinema.
There was just so much to do at SXSW I only managed to see these five, but don't you think it's amazing that two of them were world premieres (Orange Sunshine and Nowhere Home)? So cool that I was there for that.
Let me know if you have any cool recommendations for films you think I'd like.
All these films will be coming to the UK at some point this year, by the looks of it, on Netflix!
Yep, definitely noted for the future. I was young and innocent – now I know better!
i was hoping you would do some recommendations from your trip. It's so difficult to find good films, especially when they fall under the radar of the multiplex's. Even the smaller 'art house' type cinemas only have a limited selection. So yes, thanks. I've added them to my list as ones to watch out for. (That ALS one sounds like it will destroy me).
Are you going to do music and cool-interactive type stuff ones too?
Hi Sharon, ah glad you liked it. Well I will now! I've got one on my favourite talk tomorrow and yes, over the next two weeks there's more coming out on SXSW, I have a lot to catch up on.
I agree, you really have to have the time to search for the more interesting films. I guess that's why SXSW and other film festivals are so great, but then of course you have to have the time to go. And yes, the ALS one will.
what a maelstrom of emotions all in one evening! Sounds like a lot of fun.
Nice use of maelstrom. I'm going to use that word tomorrow. It was great!
Gleason and From Nowhere are both firmly on my 'to watch' list. The horror movie, less so!
Oh gawd, it was horrible! I keep thinking about it. Worth it to see that cinema though. Good luck with Gleason!


1 On the day Moses set up the Tabernacle, he anointed it and set it apart as holy. He also anointed and set apart all its furnishings and the altar with its utensils. 2 Then the leaders of Israel—the tribal leaders who had registered the troops—came and brought their offerings. 3 Together they brought six large wagons and twelve oxen. There was a wagon for every two leaders and an ox for each leader. They presented these to the LORD in front of the Tabernacle.
4 Then the LORD said to Moses, 5 "Receive their gifts, and use these oxen and wagons for transporting the Tabernacle.  Distribute them among the Levites according to the work they have to do." 6 So Moses took the wagons and oxen and presented them to the Levites. 7 He gave two wagons and four oxen to the Gershonite division for their work, 8 and he gave four wagons and eight oxen to the Merarite division for their work. All their work was done under the leadership of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest. 9 But he gave none of the wagons or oxen to the Kohathite division, since they were required to carry the sacred objects of the Tabernacle on their shoulders.
10 The leaders also presented dedication gifts for the altar at the time it was anointed. They each placed their gifts before the altar. 11 The LORD said to Moses, "Let one leader bring his gift each day for the dedication of the altar."

This paper discuss about the Design and Fabrication of Multi-Purpose Wood Working Machine. Wood working is anything that performing any operation on wood in any way for some useful work. This multipurpose wood working machine has ability to perform four operations such has Planing, Edge forming, Cutting, and Drilling on a single machine. All the four tools driven by single motor. The belt drives are used can be engaged and disengaged whenever necessary. In this competitive world people are very passionate for their home interior design.
In order to produce interior design models carpenter are using separate machines for conducting particular operations so which leads to more cost, material handling is more. In order to avoid these problems this concept is developed. Hence, using this is all about combining planing, drilling, forming and sawing machines in a single platform to reduce the investment cost and floor area and made work easy.
It is required to design and build a mechanism so that all the operations (i.e., cutting, planing, drilling, and forming) can be carried out in a single machine.
Operating time must be low.
power to the main shaft is supplied from Motor (3 phase).Each operation is equipped with different shaft which is driven by main shaft.
Pulleys are mounted on each shaft to drive the cutter. The size of the pulleys depends on the speed required for specific operations. Each pulley is provided with shear key so that it can be engaged during the operation and disengaged whenever not required. Also it plays important role in safety aspect for the various tools due to heavy load.
The speed and power required for all the operations processed on this machine are achieved by using the 3-phase motor. The motor is mounted at the base frame of the table. Main shaft is located at the center of the table and is supported between the bearings. There are four pulleys mounted on this shaft as shown in figure Pulley 'A' is used to drive the forming and drilling shafts, there is a bevel gear arrangement is made to get forming and drilling operations separately from the same shaft. Pulley 'B' is used to drive the shaft on which planing tool is mounted. Pulley 'C' is used to drive cutting shaft. Drilling unit is located at the left side of the machine as shown in fig. ( ) and feed is given by lowering the lever.

What is Footballgolf?
Home WFGA Tour Etiquette
Etiquette; Behavior on the Course
This section provides guidelines on the manner in which the game of footballgolf should be played. If they are followed, all players will gain maximum enjoyment from the game. The overriding principle is that consideration should be shown to others on the course at all times.
Footballgolf is played, for the most part, without the supervision of a referee. The game relies on the integrity of the individual to show consideration for other players and to abide by the Rules. All players should conduct themselves in a disciplined manner, demonstrating courtesy and sportsmanship at all times, irrespective of how competitive they may be. This is the spirit of the game of footballgolf.
Players should ensure that no one is standing close by or in a position to be hit by the ball or any stones, pebbles, twigs or the like when they make a kick.
Players should not play until the players in front are out of range.
If a player plays a ball in a direction where there is a danger of hitting someone, he should immediately shout a warning.
Consideration for Other Player
No Disturbance or Distraction:
Players should always show consideration for other players on the course and should not disturb their play by moving, talking or making unnecessary noise.Players should ensure that any electronic device taken onto the course does not distract other players. On the teeing ground, a player should not tee his ball until it is his turn to play.
Players should not stand close to or directly behind the ball, or directly behind the hole, or in the players field of view when a player is about to play.
On the Putting Green
On the putting green, players should not stand on another player's line of putt or, when he is making a kick, cast a shadow over his line of putt. Players should remain on or close to the putting green until all other players in the group have holed out.
In kick play, a player who is acting as a marker should, if necessary, on the way to the next tee, check the score with the player concerned and record it.
Play at Good Pace and Keep Up:
Players should play at a good pace. The Committee may establish pace of play guidelines that all players should follow. It is a group's responsibility to keep up with the group in front.
Be Ready to Play
Players should be ready to play as soon as it is their turn to play. When the play of a hole has been completed, players should immediately leave the putting green.
Searching for Ball and Recovering Ball
Players searching for a ball should signal the players in the group behind them to play through as soon as it becomes apparent that the ball will not easily be found or recovered of the water hazard. They should not search or try to recover for five minutes before doing so. Having allowed the group behind to play through, they should not continue play until that group has passed and is out of range.
Priority on the Course
Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, priority on the course is determined by a group's pace of play. Any group playing a whole round is entitled to pass a group playing a shorter round. The term "group" includes a single player.
Care of the Course
Before leaving a bunker, players should smooth over holes and footprints made by them and any nearby made by others. If a rake is within reasonable proximity of the bunker, the rake should be used for this purpose.
Preventing Unnecessary Damage:
Players should avoid causing damage to the course and especially to the putting green.
Conclusion; Penalties for Breach
If players follow the guidelines in this section, it will make the game more enjoyable for everyone.
If a player consistently disregards these guidelines during a round or over a period of time to the detriment of others, it is recommended that the Committee considers taking appropriate disciplinary action against the offending player. Such action may, for example, include prohibiting play for a limited time on the course or in a certain number of competitions. This is considered to be justifiable in terms of protecting the interests of the majority of footballgolfers who wish to play in accordance with these guidelines. In the case of a serious breach of etiquette, the Committee may disqualify a player.
The mission of the WFGA is to connect people through Footballgolf, an exciting combination of Football & Golf. The WFGA is a non-profit organisation aiming at promoting, developing and organizing Footballgolf worldwide.

A Touching Love-Letter To a Dead Girl
By The Wisdom Alley 7/15 10:05am EDT
Then one day, I just learned from a friend that she already had a boyfriend. At first I tried to convince myself that it was just a rumor. Her boyfriend was Mark, a popular senior who was the heartthrob at the campus. She being the cheerleader was close to the basketball team, which Mark was the captain. When I saw them walking together at the parking lot at the afternoon. I watch her with my heart slowly breaking into pieces. I saw her wave at me but I just pretended not to see her for I was scared that she might see in my eyes the pain I𠍿 feeling inside because of seeing her with another guy. Those days that followed were the saddest days of my life.
Finding Love My First Week in Brooklyn
By Grace Axelrod 7/15 9:54am EDT
er dinner he said that he'd take me home but I thought that it might be better if I walked home alone. He asked for my number but I had to say no since I haven't had the phone put in yet. He had this doubtful look in his eyes and said, "C'mon Grace, I've got to see you again." I told him that I definitely wanted to see him again and that I'd call him, so he gave me his card and said that he'd be waiting to hear from me. He kissed my forehead and said, "Goodnight, sweet Grace," and my stomach did another flip. When I was walking home I had this dreamy feeling. Is this really happening? I think I'll call him sometime but he is a lot older than I am. I guess he must be around 40 or so. I never met someone like him back home. Goodnight, sweet William.
Competing Measurement Systems Flummox Brits
By The Red Baron 7/15 9:49am EDT
I agree I am a reactionary old twonk when it comes to this, but it's born more out of laziness and bloody-mindedness than anything else, I can't be bothered to try to figure out a new system I'd rather be obstreporous and have my ounces and stuff, I don't have a notion of what 25g is. Its all down to the comfort zones, I know 454g is a pound and you can work things out from that, but if you need to decide between a quarter and 100g without much time to think it's more tricky, I mean I can conceptualise 1/4lb but not 100g. Now in my defence I would claim that I was schooled in an era that didn't know if it was coming or going the metric system was supposed to be in place but most people didn't understand it so they just taught you what they knew hence we got a half-arsed idea of what either were.

Where else can you see nearly naked ladies get their groove on to Modest Mouse and the Pixies If you know of any let me know. My favorite was the girl dressed up in cutoff jeans and t-shirt that stripped to AC/DC while slamming Pabst Blue Ribbon and spitting it all over the crowd. And I even loathe AC/DC!
Aaron Mase Lost To Addiction Pt. 1
By sleep not work 7/10 7:26pm EDT
I𠍿 sure many of you remember Aaron Mase the way I would like to remember him � as one of the best friends and most all-around excellent human beings on the planet. To be honest, when I first met him, I didn㦙 just like the guy, I worshipped the ground he walked on.
Exclusive: Paris Hilton is a rich spoiled brat
By Alice Ayers 7/10 7:21pm EDT
I am tending bar and being the sole waitress at a private party with a Carzy Austrian Chef (whom up til that morning I assumed was a Crazy French Chef). Paris Hilton is chatting animatedly to one of the rich, WASP-y boys renting the house [for$250, 000 for the long weekend] who might have been cute had he had a single thought in his head. I asked Paris if I could get her anything from the bar.

It's really very sad. i had to run to the bathroom and just cry becus it hurt so bad. it's for the best. we made out like a tornado last night and we stopped and he was hugging me and i was like 'what's going on? what are we doing?' to make a long story short.. i eased his fears by saying that we shouldn't fool around anymore and he just focus on getting married (5 weeks and counting..)
We Want The Past, And We Want it Now!
Sure, Our Lives Suck, But Future People Would Kill to Be Where We Are
By Cameron Marlow 7/9 6:01pm EDT
After re-rewatching 24 Hour Party People I've become obsessed with the idea of being in a place at a particular point in time. What time and place would you choose? For me it's Manchester in either the late 70's or the late 80's, and for other's it's Soho in the 60's or Athens at the height of the Greek empire. The irony of this experiment is that if we really did travel to these historic venues, we'd be much more excited about being there than the people involved. There's thousands of moments right now that people of the future would be willing to pay a year's salary to be a part of, but we won't know for years exactly what we should be jealous of.
Traditional Malaysian Patio a Shining Beacon From Our Glory Days
By Idrus 7/9 6:09pm EDT
This is the patio of our house, it is call the Serambi in Malay... It is a place to sit and relax with friends for a cup of coffee, just for the fun of it and enjoy... All traditional Malay houses have serambi but in today's modern houses this part of the house has been left out and not to be seen anymore ...And as for my house I had it specially built to reflect my love for the tradition and the feeling that comes with the Malay traditional house.... Nostalgic I guessed... What an interesting concept and it shows the wisdom of the past, our great heritage and the way to enjoy life in a simple way.....
Breast-Obsessed Pundit Moves on to Fresher Territory
By Maine 7/9 5:49pm EDT
I'm pretty sure that one out of every five QW posts mentions the boobie. In a sort of desirous, longing manner. But come on, man - how many posts can you write about the boobie? I need to broaden my horizons, right? Alright... here goes: I see a lot of email spam offering treatments to add 3 inches to the man-wang. So this leaves me with two huge questions: Why is it always 3 inches? Is that the max amount they can finagle out of the average inadequate penis?
Fame Hungry Imperialist Americans Get it All in Small Chinese Towns
By John 7/9 5:44pm EDT
Being a foreigner in a smallish Chinese town is quite an experience. Wherever you go, whatever you do, you're a spectacle. If you can speak any Chinese, your (near-constant) audience will be amazed and enthralled. A foreigner in a smallish Chinese town who can speak Chinese fairly well can quite quickly become a local celebrity, even getting newspaper writeups and TV spots.
Avid Stepper Not Stepping Enough
By Ron'a 7/9 5:38pm EDT
Yesterday, I walked about 10,500 steps. Today, I walked about 14,500. My goal is to walk 40,000 steps over my 3 day weekend. I weighed myself this morning and I was down 3 pounds! I always feel so sullen if I only lose a pound. Yes, I know that is all you are supposed to lose. I am currently over 100 pounds over my ideal weight, so 1 pound a week seems a bit sparse.

We can never be friends. X-Bf: Please, can we just forget it? Me : I just did. You and me, it never happened. That's it.
Soldiers Words of Wisdom Actually Quite Chilling
By R1 7/9 4:54pm EDT
I was posting some thoughts about an event but just decided that it's a bit too much for an open log. What bothers me is that one soldier later remarked, "Killing isn't hard; learning not to like it is the hard part." And everyone just nodded.
Israel's Equivalant of the Queen's Guard: Joel the Soldier
By Seth 7/9 5:03pm EDT
This is Joel, a soldier that I befriended outside of Ein Gedi. He was waiting here for some of his military buddies to go and swim in the pools in the nature reserve. Soldiers are everywhere in Israel, and all the American tourists jockey to get their pictures taken with them. Especially the girls (ahem, Christiana and Micha!)
Key to Recreational Handcuffs Legally Defined as Stolen Police Property
By Kurt Scott Hopke 7/9 3:36pm EDT
We're going through security, and the security guard asks me if I'm a peace officer. "Um, no." "Then why do you have a handcuff key?" "Um, they're for my handcuffs." "It's a misdemeanor to have these. It's stolen police property." "What?" "Yeah, I'm going to have to confiscate this." "You're kidding, right?" At this point, a county officer had walked up.

Anti-Smoking Legislation Not Enough, It's Time For Violence!
By Wayne Tucker 7/7 9:15pm EDT
It is time for "Punch a Smoker in the Face Day"! The beauty of the name lies in its simplicity - It's exactly what it purports to be on the surface. On this designated day, if you see someone smoking in public, it is your legal right (neigh, duty) to walk up to this person and cold cock'em! You can punch them in the nose, break their jaw, sucker punch them - whatever you do best (Grandma will be crying with fear on the outside, but she will be secretly thanking you on the inside).

The Unthinkable Happened: McDonalds Burned Down
By Janis Gore 7/5 5:42pm EDT
Our local McDonald's burned nearly to the ground last night. Reports are that the fire occurred at or about 10 p.m., but I don't remember sirens. Lucy and I drove by to take a look today after my mother-in-law told us it had happened. Only a scorched shell was left, with smoke rising from the interior. I'd be surprised if this were some kind of protest. Insurance? An angry employee? An accident? Neglect? No one was injured, as far as we know. The gossip wheels are turning in this small town. We'll find out more tomorrow.
Freedom ain't Free, Today is for the Troops

And to the service men and women across the globe, protecting that honor and freedom on a daily basis ... thank you. It may not be much, but I do appreciate what sacrifices you have made to provide my family with a safe place to live. And this goes for all men and women who have served, especially those who have passed away.

I checked my Blog-Meter, and it says that the site has been visited one thousand times! 1000! Amazing! I started this site in March of '04. So, doing the math, that's 1000 divided by 4 months. That's 250 hits a month. Divided by about 30 days. That's just about 7 hits per day on the site!
Slippery Slope Fallacy, Meet Your Match
By Julian Sanchez 7/1 6:48pm EDT
I'm always a little puzzled by a rhetorical strategy I occasionally encounter in friendly political arguments. I'll often, unsurprisingly enough, end up taking a libertarian position, and my interlocutor will respond with something like: "Well, you're a libertarian, so of course you think that, but..." as if to suggest that an ideology is some kind of suspect ulterior motive, along the lines of "Well, you work for ADM, so of course you're for ethanol subsidies." But of course, that's sort of backwards: I don't believe in low taxes, strong property rights, free trade, and robust civil liberties because I'm a libertarian. Rather, I'm a libertarian because I believe all those things for other independent reasons.

Gay Pride Weekend Provides Many Opportunities for Gayness
Saturday night - Muscle bear sea cruise with Bob and Larry. Heavy on the bear, light on the muscle, but a great time. Took my shirt off in public and didn't care. Very gay. Sunday - Hit the parade for a couple hours. Gay. Then went to the Pier Dance for the first time ever, in the company of Bob and Charlie. Triple gay. Danced in the sun among many shirtless boys (mine stayed on this time). Oh so very gay.

World's Best Mom Would Never Trade Her Daughter for a TV
By Sunny Cervantes 7/1 6:01pm EDT
I was watching this episode of Law & Order. It dealt with the smuggling of children from Nigeria for slavery and prostitution. This is the first time in my life that I watched a detective TV show and actually cried. I thought of Angel who was sleeping peacefully and dreamt of all things innocent. I cannot imagine selling her to a stranger for a TV set.

Normal, Ordinary Guy Wants to Be President to Revoke the Kefauver-Harris Amendments
By Antithesis 7/1 5:53pm EDT
This man is no career politician or Washington insider. He has no deep pockets or powerful political allies. Unlike Bush, Nader and Kerry, he has principles. And stands by them, but never forces those principles on others. He is just an ordinary man from Austin, TX. A former computer programmer and scuba diving instructor who took up studying the consitution. His goals are not power or fame, he is simply a man who wants his country to be a great place to live. Special interests need not apply. Statists and neo-conservatives not welcome.
What? Judge Thomas Not an Uncle Tom, Scalia Lapdog?
By Eugene Volokh 6/30 5:03pm EDT
This is just further evidence that the "Justice Thomas follows Justice Scalia in lockstep" argument that some have made is simply a slur on Justice Thomas. We've seen lots of cases where Justice Thomas has taken a different view from Justice Scalia � consider his opinions on the scope of the Commerce Clause, the scope of the Ex Post Facto Clause, the protections offered to anonymous speech, the Excessive Fines Clause, crossburning, and more.

Libertarians are mean, stupid, retarded, dodo-brained, dumbheads, and they make me mad, mad, mad!
By Victoria 6/25 5:04pm EDT
Camille Paglia, a lunatic who uses the misnomer "feminist" to get herself onto talk shows so that hegemonic stations can pretend to have a pro-woman's perspective, argues gender issues using a libertarian's approach. She blames women who are date raped for getting what they deserve. Come on, she argues, if you get drunk with a guy in college, what are you really trying to do? Paglia believes that women using their sex in exchange for power is the natural order of things. She believes in personal responsibility. And thus, there are no survivors, or victims, as she says, of abuse. Take responsibility for your own assault.
Slate Writer Out to Lunch on Drug Prices
By Derek Lowe 6/25 4:58pm EDT
I hate to put myself in the position of defending Imclone and Erbitux, but this argument is exaggerated to the point of nonsense. I know what he's trying to say - that making monoclonal antibodies is an established technology - and up to a point, it is. But Bazell makes it sound like a bunch of undergraduates could whip up a batch of Erbitux for fifty bucks or so, and that is, to use a term of the pharmaceutical art, complete (expletive).
Highs and Lows of a Crazy Weekend
By Big DIrty 6/21 7:19pm EDT
Now I must complain about the moronic female at HH. I come in and order my usual (2 Pork Roll Egg and Cheese with Provolone and an order of fries), and instead of one of the middle eastern guys thats always in there and knows exactly what I want, this person screws up my order, not once, not twice, but several times. First, she only makes one sandwich, which I told her I wanted two. Then she puts american on instead of the provolone, and cuts the sandwich. Habib, Jerold, or whatever their names are, make them properly and DON'T CUT.
Modern British Politics in Perspective
By Professor R. Baron 6/21 7:08pm EDT
Labour's response to the 1980s was to drop much of its socialist credentials such as Clause 4, which was a tenet in the party manifesto committing itself to the nationalisation of industry. The party did this in an attempt to address what it saw as itself being unelectable, it sought not to stick to its guns but chase the electorate to the right in the hope of capturing people on the whet end of the Conservative party. Now Labour may point to this strategy achieving success in 1997 which one of the largest landslide victories ever and backed up by a consolidation in 2001.

I've got a best friend who has promised to marry me at 33 if we're both still single.� Unless he changes, which some stellar girl might do to him, then that sounds like a plan to me.� But wouldn't that be a funny story to tell the kids - "Mommy and Daddy got married b/c they could stand each other and couldn't stand anyone else."� And there's the whole love "problem."�
Who Do Parents Think They Are, Your Mom or Something?
By Erica Nix 6/19 3:38pm EDT
But seriously, where do parents get off. They make you how you are, and then they seem SO frustrated by it! Sometimes I understand. For instance, just a minute ago I was walking in my backyard only wearing bra and undies. Apparantly, my father was freaking out, but he couldn't come tell me because I WAS IN MY BRA AND UNDIES! My mom came out to tell me, I laughed, but now I feel kinda bad. I guess several neighbors could see me.

How i dont know what else you have kept from me over our time together.

Yes, I Admit, I Would Use My God-Like Powers for Evil
By Karma Chick 6/17 5:58pm EDT
Part of the premise of ["Bruce Almighty"], for those who haven't seen it, is what a guy does when God gives him divine powers, and it made me think; what would *I* do if I suddenly had those sorts of powers? I'd plan a little trip to Vegas so that I could "win" enough $ to make me quietly wealthy through "clever" commodities investments. It'd occur to me that I had a variety of ways to see certain famous hotties naked with no risk of getting caught, and yes, I'd do it. Is it moral to peep? Of course not. Would that stop me from getting some illicit thrills from my "powers"? Not a chance.

Bet she didn't see this coming...I ended up getting her number so I called her and told her that she'd better go and get her money back from the tarot lady, because she is going to need it if she wants to leave her husband for mine, because he is going to be one broke (expletive)h!! He also started talking about why he did this. He said our sexlife was not up to par. He said he was bored with it.
Um...yeah..sorry for, uh, deleting your blog
By Dave Winer and Jeneane Sesser 6/16 9:22pm EDT
This gives people basically the heads up that they were asking for. I understand that you would like to have had your site remain accessible during that period, but I just couldn't simply work that out. And you could say I should have explained it, and I could have done better, and you may be right. That I should have and I could have... it's possible... but it's also not clear to me that people wouldn't have found something else to find fault with. I mean, this is sort of the attitude on the Internet. It's sort of like people just love to jump up and down and it hardly matters how well you do something because basically certain thing happen and people will jump up and down so just accept that.

Spent a day with 75 faculty members at Calvary Day School in Winston-Salem this week as they prepare for beginning another school year.
It was a joy and privilege for me to spend a week (March 2018) teaching a master's class at Uganda Baptist Seminary in Jinja, Uganda. These pictures tell the story of their enthusiasm for learning new Active Learning Techniques as they teach as adjuncts at their seminary and as pastors/ministers in their local churches.
The TEACHING FOR CHANGE EVENT at First Baptist Church in Georgetown, South Carolina, was a great success.
Dr. Coley presented two keynotes and three breakout sessions in Toronto at the ACSI Eastern Canada Conference in November. His messages were based on his new book, Teaching for Change: Eight Keys for Transformational Bible Study with Teens.
Dr. Coley has enjoyed leading a number Teaching for Change events in August with more coming up in September. These events include Park Avenue Christian in Florida and High Point Christian in North Carolina. This past weekend he led a large group of youth teachers in a time of training at First Baptist Church in Norfolk, Va. Each of these events is unique, but all are based on his new book, Teaching for Change: Transformational Bible Study with Teens (2017). Each session emphasizes biblical truth, student engagement, and the most current findings in mind, brain, and education research. He hopes to see you in one of his sessions September 20-22 at the D6 Conference in Dallas, Texas.
I had a fabulous time teaching a graduate class at Ukraine Baptist Theological Seminary in L'Viv, Ukraine. It was such a pleasure getting to know my class of 15 students who are two years into earning their master's degree. Many are teaching or plan to teach at satellite campuses spread out across western Ukraine. It was a privilege to coach them on teaching and leading educational ministries.
Dr. Kenneth Coley, the Director of the Doctor of Education program at Southeastern Seminary has edited a new book: Entrusted to the Faithful: An Introduction to Pastoral Leadership.
The book includes chapters by eight current and former Southeastern faculty members: Drs. Kenneth Coley, David Beck, Allan Moseley, Steven Wade, James Porowski, Larry Purcell, J. Gregory Lawson, and John Boozer.
Teaching for Change guides teachers to unravel the mystery of how students absorb and process information. This insight leads to better prepared lessons that will engage the hearts and minds of students. Coley offers many easily implemented ideas for sharing the truth of God's Word that will connect with teens on a deeper level. Along with providing eight key concepts of effective teaching essential to real transformation in the lives of students, Coley also includes practical illustrations of how the key concepts look in a typical lesson. Each chapter ends with questions for deeper reflection or group discussion. This book is a vital source for anyone who instructs teens.
With the wisdom of a seasoned educator, Ken Coley has masterfully crafted a "must-read" resource for those tasked with teaching students. In addition to offering numerous suggestions for lesson presentation and lesson application, Coley examines the steps necessary for the teenage mind to retain and assimilate new instruction. What helps to set this book apart is the attention given to the way the facilitator/teacher is interacting with the lesson's content. Coley works very hard to close the gap between learner and the instructor. Those new to the teaching ministry as along with those that have been in the trenches of student ministry for many years will appreciate the freshness and clarity presented.
In January Dr. Coley presented at the Conclave Conference in Chattanooga, TN, to youth ministers from around the region.


Help Me Make a Movie?
Money makes the world go round. It also makes movies.
As I mentioned in the previous post, there are a couple different versions of how much my movie might cost. But no matter what the determined scale of this project ends up being, I'm definitely going to need financial backing.
From what I've observed of other filmmakers and from my own past experiences, securing finances for a film tends to be the first major hurdle (and possibly the most daunting). A writer/director spends months falling in love with a story, turning the words around, and dreaming what the film will ultimately look like. The sad part is that most independent films aren't able to secure their budget and never make it to production. They just end where they began, as a script on some guy's hard drive who thought he had a good idea for a movie. I'm sure there are some pretty amazing movies out there that just need an opportunity to be made. Although that seems to be the pervading fate here, it is not an option for me as it would make for a very defeatist blog. I promise you will not read a post in two months announcing "In light of my inability to raise a budget for this project, you can no longer watch me make a movie." I suppose I'd have to change the blog title, too.
After tightening the script to my liking, the next step will be to seek out an executive producer. An executive producer is a title most often given to a individual or party responsible for contributing or securing the necessary funds to the project. Naturally, there is always some stake in the movie that goes along with it.
So where do I find an executive producer? How do I sell them this project? I can't really answer this with any certainty because I've never done this before! What I can do is give a candid look at my game plan.
Over the past three years I have written and directed a few projects that have garnered some level of attention at varying degrees and I have been able to make some worthwhile industry contacts. Whether as an actor, writer, or director, these people and/or companies have expressed interest in some of my work (or maybe even just me). These contacts will be the first people I approach. While never easy, at least these people/companies are relevant professionals who would expect me to approach them and, I hope, be interested to read my feature-length screenplay.
The next round of people to approach are also individuals who have previously expressed interest in my work, but have no real experience investing or producing movies. This type of executive producer is a harder sell simply because I am selling more. With production companies and regular film financiers, the only real sell is the appeal of my story and my directorial abilities. They know how the independent film business works and are mainly looking for content. With non-undustry investors, I'll have to sell the entire investment and endeavor of making a movie even before I try to convince them that mine is one worth making. Then I'll still have to convince them that I'm the guy to make it.
Alas, if everyone I approach over the next couple months turns me down, I will simply reserve the Executive Producer title for myself. That would also mean that I would have to foot the bill myself and seriously modify script and production to accommodate such a low-budget operation. This is where the small-scale version of this movie would come into play. It's not ideal, but I'd make it work. That scenario will be my contingency plan. It wouldn't be pretty, but it would definitely make this blog far more interesting to read.

Blog Posts > Latest Senate Income Tax Elimination Bill Still Cuts Taxes for the Wealthy While Raising Taxes for Everyone Else and Slashing the Budget
Sean O'Leary Senior Policy Analyst
Latest Senate Income Tax Elimination Bill Still Cuts Taxes for the Wealthy While Raising Taxes for Everyone Else and Slashing the Budget
Last night, on a narrow 18-16 vote, the Senate passed an amended version of HB 3300, making significant changes to the version of the bill that the Senate Finance Committee had introduced just days before. The amended bill was voted on mere hours after being introduced, and was passed without a full fiscal analysis. With that said, the bill is structured similarly to the version introduced in the Committee — with a large initial income tax cut, increases to the sales and tobacco taxes, and with future income tax cuts contingent on various funds and revenue levels. The results are also largely the same, creating a dramatic change in who pays state taxes in West Virginia, shifting the responsibility onto working families to make room for tax breaks for the wealthy. Further, the Senate's plan would create an immediate $170 to $200 million gap in the budget, which would grow larger as more income tax cuts are enacted and the income tax is replaced with slower growing sources of revenue.
Highlights of the analysis of the Senate-amended version of HB 3300 include:
In its first year, the Senate plan would be a net tax increase for the average taxpayer in the bottom 60 percent of households.
Even with the income tax fully eliminated, the Senate plan would be a net tax increase for the average taxpayer in the bottom 40 percent of households.
A household in the top one percent in West Virginia would receive a tax cut that is 171 times as large as that of a household in the middle 20 percent.
The Senate plan would give West Virginia the highest state sales tax in the country.
The Senate plan would make West Virginia one of only four states to tax professional services.
When fully enacted, 44 percent of the net savings from the Senate plan would go to the wealthiest five percent of households in West Virginia, those with an average annual income of $346,000.
With no fiscal note or other analysis, there is no information of the size of future income tax cuts or impacts on future budgets.
The biggest piece of the Senate's proposal is an initial 40 percent, or $818 million, reduction in the state's income tax. This is done in multiple ways. First, there is a "dollar for dollar" reduction in the income tax for any increase in general revenue over the previous year's actual collections due to either increases to existing revenue sources or newly created revenue sources. Since the bill would increase the sales and tobacco tax rates and revenue in its first year, this would trigger an income tax cut.
In addition, like in the committee version, this plan creates an income tax reduction fund — the Stabilization and Future Economic Reform (SAFER) Fund — funded by the increase in tobacco taxes, and a new tax on legal settlements. The increase in tobacco tax revenue is estimated to be $78 million. There is no estimate for the revenue from the new tax on legal settlements.
When the SAFER Fund balance reaches $100 million, $50 million would be transferred to the General Revenue Fund, and the state's personal income tax rates would be reduced by 12.5 basis points (roughly $50 million).
The latest version also incorporates a tiering of the severance tax on coal and natural gas, similar to the governor's proposal, with new rates ranging from 4.0 percent to 7.0 percent, based on coal and gas prices, with reduced rates for steam and thin seam coal. Any increase in revenue from the new tiered rates would also be deposited into the SAFER Fund. However, according to the bill's sponsor, the new rates would not generate any additional revenue at current energy prices.
In addition, any unappropriated revenues would be used to further cut the income tax. However, with no future budget outlooks, it is unclear how much or how often that would occur.
With no fiscal note or future budget projections, only the first year's income tax cut is certain. The first reduction would be roughly $818 million. Seventy percent of the tax cut would go to the wealthiest 20 percent of households in West Virginia, even before the regressive tax increases are considered.
The reduction in the income tax is partially offset by a large increase and expansion in the sales tax. The Senate's proposal raises the sales tax from 6.0 percent to 8.0 percent, which would give West Virginia the highest state sales tax in the country. Increasing the sales tax would increase revenue by $460 million.
The Senate's plan also expands the sales tax base to include computer hardware and software, digital goods, advertising, electronic data processing, and health and fitness memberships. These services would be taxed at the full 8.0 percent. In addition, the sales tax base would be further expanded to include legal, accounting, architectural, and engineering services, which would be taxed at a rate of 3.0 percent. If enacted, West Virginia would be one of only four states that applies the sales tax to professional services. These expansions of the sales tax base would increase revenue by $100 to $130 million.
Overall, the tax increases both for the General Revenue Fund and the SAFER Fund proposed by the Senate total $666.4 million (not counting the revenue from the proposed tax on legal settlements), with most of the revenue coming from the increase in the sales tax. While the tax cuts heavily favor the wealthy, the proposed tax increases are overall regressive, with low-income households paying more, on average, in tax increases than they save in income tax cuts.
In an acknowledgment of the impossibility of paying for an income tax cut with a sales tax increase without raising taxes on low- and middle-income households the Senate plan includes a sales tax relief credit for low-income households. The rebate is structured as a refundable rebate of $250 for households with incomes under $10,000, $140 for households with incomes between $10,000 and $20,000, $100 for households with incomes between $20,000 and $30,000, and $50 for households with incomes between $30,000 and $35,000. The total cost of the sales tax credit is $42.0 million.
According to remarks on the Senate floor from Senate Finance Chairman Eric Tarr, the sales tax relief credit would be removed once the income tax is fully eliminated.
Despite the sales tax credit for low-income households, the tax increases in the bill offset both the sales tax credit and the income tax savings for the average taxpayer in the bottom 60 percent of households in West Virginia. Only households with incomes above $55,000 would see a net tax cut on average. The typical household in West Virginia, with an average income of $43,000, would save $330 from the income tax cut, but would pay an extra $616 in increased sales and other taxes, for a net tax increase of $285.
Even with the income tax fully eliminated, low-income households would, on average, see a net tax increase, if the sales tax relief credit is repealed along with the elimination of the income tax, as the chart below shows. Even if the credit stays in place, low-income households would see an average net tax cut of only $24. The typical household in West Virginia would see an average net tax cut of only $201. In comparison, the wealthiest one percent of households would see an average net tax cut of over $34,000.
The top five percent of households would get 44 percent of the net tax savings from the Senate version of HB 3300 once the income tax is fully eliminated, an annual windfall of $636 million. This is a group with an average annual income of $346,000. Only three percent of the savings would go to households in the middle 20 percent, with households in the bottom 40 percent seeing no savings.
The latest Senate plan — as with the previous Senate plan, the House plan, and the governor's plan — set the state up for large revenue losses and painful budget cuts. Any future revenue growth would be used to finance tax cuts rather than addressing the state's pressing budget needs, such as the $153 million needed to keep Medicaid funded or the tens of millions of dollars needed each year to keep PEIA solvent.
The plan ignores all of the evidence that cutting the income tax fails to boost the economy or lead to increased migration and instead doubles down on the state's past failures, as well as the failures of other states. Instead of promised growth, the people of West Virginia will get regressive tax increases that fall heavily on low- and middle-income families, while the wealthy few enjoy the bulk of the tax cuts. Meanwhile, the substantial revenue losses would further undermine the investments in education, infrastructure, and other public services that have been neglected in West Virginia for years.

City's rich history told
Tuesday, 6th April, 2010
* BH Historical Society Secretary Jenny Camilleri with her latest book.
Author Jenny Camilleri delves into the city's rich history in her latest book, "Remarkable People, Events and Buildings of the Past".
It is the fourth book written by Ms Camilleri, which draws inspiration from old memoirs written in the city's early years. "When you find old written diaries and stories and journals, you like other people to read what you've discovered," said Ms Camilleri.
"My aim as a writer is to let other people find out how exciting some of the stories that you do uncover are. I enjoy writing this type of historical interest, I love it." Among those featured in the book are the Harrod girls, journalist Joe Johnson and the Stokie family from Silverton.
The book was launched by Mayor Wincen Cuy last Saturday, and a copy was given to Prime Minister Kevin Rudd during his visit that weekend. Remarkable People, Events and Buildings of the Past is available from Browzers Bookshop, the Trades Hall and the tourist centre.

First Genetically Modified Mosquitoes Released in U.S. Are Hatching Now
As Aedes aegypti mosquitoes increase their range because of warming climate, genetic manipulation of the disease-carrying species could gain wider appeal
By Donavyn Coffey on May 14, 2021
This week, mosquito eggs placed in the Florida Keys are expected to hatch tens of thousands of genetically modified mosquitoes, a result of the first U.S. release of such insects in the wild. A biotechnology firm called Oxitec delivered the eggs in late April as part of a federally approved experiment to study the use of genetic engineering—rather than insecticides—to control disease-carrying mosquito populations. The move targets an invasive species, called Aedes aegypti, that carries Zika, dengue, chikungunya, yellow fever and other potentially deadly diseases, some of which are on the rise in Florida.
The experiment relies on a genetic alteration that will be lethal to a large number of future offspring. In this case, male mosquitoes have been modified to carry a gene that makes their female progeny dependent on the antibiotic tetracycline—and thus fated to die in the wild. As the mating cycle repeats over generations, female numbers are depleted, and the population is suppressed. The modified insects eventually die off, making this approach self-limiting.
Oxitec overcame significant regulatory hurdles before getting the go-ahead from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2016 and then the Environmental Protection Agency in 2020. If the current pilot effort is successful, the firm is set to release as many as 20 million more males in the prime of Florida's mosquito season later this year. The results of the experiment could ultimately help address concerns about releasing genetically modified organisms into the wild.
To learn more about the risks and rewards of Florida's foray into bioengineered pest control, Scientific American spoke with Omar Akbari, a molecular biologist whose lab works on genetic control technologies at the University of California, San Diego. He is also a co-founder of Agragene, a biotech company that is using genetically engineered agricultural pests as a biological pest control.
Do you think the Aedes aegypti experiment in the Florida Keys will reduce the spread of mosquito-borne diseases?
The current method of controlling this species is to use insecticides, but they don't really work well. We've noticed resistance in the field, so new technologies are definitely needed.
Oxitec's technology for releasing genetically modified insects has been tested in other places. [The company has] reported reaching A. aegypti population suppression of more than 90 percent in many of their releases, including effective control of the A. aegypti population in Brazil. Given its prior testing, the experiment in the Keys is likely to work and to suppress A. aegypti populations. And hopefully it will directly translate into an epidemiological impact, effectively reducing disease transmission.
How safe is this technology?
It's extremely safe. The EPA has done its due diligence and tested many of the potential side effects of this technology. The real question here is: What are the existing control mechanisms that are in place? This mosquito has been controlled using many different broad-spectrum insecticides in Florida, including pyrethroids that also kill honeybees, ladybugs, dragonflies and other insects. Pictures show aerial spraying of insecticides from airplanes over neighborhoods in Florida during the Zika virus outbreak in 2016. By comparison, Oxitec's technology is extremely safe. It's only going to target A. aegypti, and you're using the mosquito to control the mosquito.
Is there a risk to the ecosystem?
It's a misconception that this process could get rid of all mosquitoes. There are more than 3,500 different species of mosquitoes on earth. A handful of them transmit pathogens. Oxitec is not trying to eliminate all mosquitoes. [The company is] getting rid of one mosquito species from a localized population to stop it from transmitting pathogens to humans. And this mosquito species—A. aegypti—is invasive and doesn't have a purpose in this environment. So I don't think there will be any negative environmental impact from removing the species from the environment.
Do you anticipate the future use of Oxitec's technology in other U.S. states?
Right now it is only approved to do mosquito egg releases in that one area of Florida. It's authorized here for experimental use. And the technology is localized. These mosquitoes can't travel very far.
The first requirement for use of the technology in other areas will be success with the current experiment in Florida. Once that is in hand, Oxitec can apply for more permits to do broader releases in other areas. If that were to happen, the process would resemble what took place in Florida. I think [Oxitec] would connect with the local mosquito-control districts in those locations and coordinate releases and monitoring the density of the A. aegypti female population over time. Getting approval in other locations might also require putting it on a ballot to get the public to weigh in on the decision, as was done in Florida.
What are the possible limitations of this approach to controlling mosquitoes that spread diseases?
One question is scalability. Can they scale this technology to eliminate this pest from, let's say, all the states in America that it's present in, which is basically half of the U.S.? Or is it only useful in small communities? And if they scale if it, what is the cost associated with that?
Also, species-specific technology is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, you're only targeting one species. On the other hand, there are often multiple species transmitting a pathogen. For example, in Brazil, you have two different species that transmit dengue virus—A. aegypti and Aedes albopictus. That's also the case in Florida. So if you get rid of one of them, the other is still out there.
With global warming, how likely is it that other regions will take the same course that the Florida Keys mosquito district has?
Some already have. Oxitec has received approvals to do releases of its modified A. aegypti mosquitoes in the Cayman Islands and Panama. It is doing trials in India—genetically modified mosquitoes are released into cages with wild-type mosquitoes to mate and then compared with cages without the modified insect. [Others have] done releases in Malaysia and Australia. And as there are more examples of success stories, I think more countries will be willing to adopt this technology, assuming that the costs make sense.
With global warming, the habitable range of A. aegypti mosquitoes is expanding. The species now is present in many U.S. states, whereas 10 years ago it wasn't. This, too, is going to become more important as this mosquito species becomes more prevalent and the pathogens also become more prevalent.
What biological pest-control technologies are you currently working on?
Our lab has a [preprint] paper currently under review describing a new CRISPR-based technology that can be used to eliminate A. aegypti populations. It's also self-limiting. We're excited about this because we were able to eliminate the populations in experimental cages in the lab. And we think this technology might be a next-generation technology that can be used alongside the Oxitec technology. The outcome is very similar.
