VLC includes a fairly easy-to-use streaming feature that can stream music and videos over a local network or the Internet. You can tune into the stream using VLC or other media players.
Use VLC's web interface as a remote control to control the stream from elsewhere. Bear in mind that you may not have the bandwidth to stream high-definition videos over the Internet, though.
Broadcasting a Stream
To start broadcasting a network stream, click the Media menu in VLC and select Stream.
In the Open Media dialog, select the media you want to stream. You can select one or more files on the Files tab, select a CD or DVD on the Disc tab, or even capture video from a specific device on the Capture Device tab. For example, you could stream your desktop by selecting Desktop on the Capture Device tab.
Click the Stream button after selecting your media.
The Stream Output window will appear. The first pane just lists the media source you selected – click Next to continue.
On the Destination Setup pane, you'll need to choose a destination for your stream. For example, you can select HTTP to listen for connections – other computers can connect to your computer and watch the stream. You can also select UDP to broadcast to a specific IP address or range of IP addresses.
After selecting your destination, click the Add button. You may also want to activate the Display locally check box – if you do, you'll see and hear the media being streamed on your local computer, so you'll know it's playing correctly.
After adding a destination, you'll be able to customize its settings. With the HTTP destination, you could specify a custom path – but the default one will work fine.
You can also tweak the transcoding settings – by transcoding to a lower quality, VLC can save network bandwidth.
Click Next to continue to the Option Setup pane – you probably don't need to tweak any of the advanced options here. To start streaming, click the Stream button.
If you selected the Display locally option, the media will start playing locally on your computer.
If you have a firewall enabled, ensure that VLC is an allowed program or no computers will be able to connect. If you're trying to stream over the Internet, you may also need to forward ports on your router.
Connecting to a Stream
To tune in to a stream, click the Media menu in VLC on another computer and select Open Network Stream.
Assuming you used HTTP, enter an address like http://IP.Address:8080. See this post if you need help finding the other system's IP address.
(If you specified a custom path for your HTTP stream in the Path box, you'll need to specify the custom path here. For example, if you specified /path as your custom path, you'd enter http://IP.Address:8080/path in the box here.)
After clicking Play, the stream should start playing. To control playback remotely, try setting up VLC's web interface. If you encounter an error, make sure VLC isn't being blocked by a firewall on the streaming system.

The Man of Law (referred to here as 'A Sergeant of the Lawe is a judicious and dignified man, or, at least, he seems so because of his wise words. But , the narrator ominously remarks, 'I noot how men hym calle' (I don't know how men call him, or think of him). This is no bookish monk, studying in a cloister, but a man who keeps greyhounds to hunt the hare. He sings loudly 'Come hither, love to me and has hair as yellow as wax, which hangs like flaxen from his head. Where do Chaucer's writerly and narratorial voices end, and his characters' voices begin?

A Miller comes next, in this final group of pilgrims (now at the bottom of the class scale!). But at times he shifts abruptly from any type of detail to any other type, giving us the impression that these data are actually being gathered on the field itself. The Monk is well-fed, fat, and his eyes are bright, gleaming like a furnace in his head. The Wife of Bath believes that women should be the controlling party in the relationship, and repeatedly illustrates this belief in both her story and prologue. He wears an image. The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer is a series of different kinds of stories told by a group of imaginary pilgrims going to Canterbury: the Cathedral, a place of assassination of Saint Thomas a Becket. In this way, he represents a class of human beings, the knights of the fourteenth century England. The narrator includes every aspect of each character; their facial features including moles and scars. He is a judge in the court of assizes, by letter of appointment from the king, and because of his high standing receives many grants.
He has a beard as white as a daisy, and of the sanguine humour (dominated by his blood). Christopher on his breast. But Chaucer could write only 22 stories. By the late fourteenth century, the Catholic Church, which governed England, Ireland, and the entire continent of Europe, had become extremely wealthy. The church and religion meant a great deal to the people because at all levels of society, belief in a god or gods was not a matter of choice; it was a matter of fact. A noble Manciple (a business agent, purchaser of religious provisions) is the next pilgrim to be described, and a savvy financial operator. The Shipman had, many times, drawn a secret draught of wine on board ship, while the merchant was asleep. The narrator (a constructed version of Chaucer himself) is first discovered staying at the Tabard Inn in Southwark (in London when a company of twenty-nine people descend on the inn, preparing to go on a pilgrimage to Canterbury. The Nuns Priests tale expresses an opinion contrary to that of the Wife of bath; that women should live modestly.

The Canterbury Tales, written critical essays canterbury tales by Geoffrey Chaucer (1343 also known as the. The narrator believes that there is no better priest to be found anywhere. He describes each one in turn, starting with the highest status individuals. The Knight is described first, as befits a 'worthy man' of high status. The Prioress, called 'Madame Eglantine' (or, in modern parlance, Mrs. Unlike the other writers who were lost in dreams and allegories, Chaucer has presented real life and people with their activities, tendencies, weaknesses, greatnesses, individual and professional behaviors, their passions and their absurdities. His name is Huberd. The Squire cuts a rather effeminate figure, his clothes embroidered with red and white flowers, and he is constantly singing or playing the flute. The Franklin is a big eater, loving a piece of bread dipped in wine, and is described (though not literally!) as Epicurus' son: the Franklin lives for culinary delight. But then, Chaucer implies, there are no honest millers.
Travelling with the Summoner is a noble Pardoner, his friend and his companion (in what sense Chaucer intends the word 'compeer meaning companion, nobody knows) and the last pilgrim-teller to be described. She is so charitable and piteous, that she would weep if she saw a mouse caught in a trap, and she has two small dogs with her. She wears a brooch with the inscription 'Amor vincit omnia' Love conquers all. The pilgrims agree to the Host's suggestion, and agree to accord to the Host's judgment as master of the tale-telling game. The very description of the team of pilgrims in its introduction (The General Prologue) is a virtual art gallery that gives a complete picture of the 14th century English society including the entire range of people from all classes. He is a good, hard-working man, who lives in peace and charity, and treats his neighbor as he would be treated. He knows the cause of every illness, what humor engenders them, and how to cure them. The Host asks the pilgrims to draw lots to see who shall tell the first tale, the Knight being asked to 'draw cut' first and, whether by 'aventure, or sort, or cas the Knight draws the straw to tell the first tale. English Society in the, fourteenth, century, the Canterbury Tales is set in fourteenth-century London, one of the medieval periods great centers of commerce and culture. Though a common man, the Manciple can run rings round even a 'heep of lerned men'.
He is well-read in the standard medical authorities, from the Greeks right through to Chaucer's contemporary Gilbertus Anglicus. The next morning, the Host awakes, raises everyone up, and 'in a flok' the pilgrimage rides towards 'the Wateryng of Seint Thomas a brook about two miles from London. The Summoner is next, his face fire-red and pimpled, with narrow eyes. Thus he balances between the good and bad people in each class (nobility, clergy and laity each gender, each profession, and.

May is about halfway over, and I continue to grow closer and closer to the end of my first full re-write of Whiteout. The end word count has continued to stretch (currently estimated at 85,000), but nonetheless, June is actually starting to seem doable. That's right, come June, you might actually see some content that isn't related to a drunken monster hunter and a fictional mountain somewhere in the Himalayas!
So, where do I stand on progress right now? As we all know, the best way to look at data is through histograms, and trendlines (it's not, but it's easy, and I'm busy).
Every day this month, except for the pesky 7th, I have made some progress on Whiteout! Some days less than others, but the point is, it's moving forward (I can't help that Injustice 2 released yesterday…) The trickiest part this month has been fleshing out a denouement that was previously nonexistent. I wrote the original draft of this novel for NanoWriMo (a competition where you write a 50,000 word novel in 30 days), and by the time I had reached this point in the book, I was almost at my word count. Unfortunately, this led to some poor narrative choices, such as "And then suddenly they were back at the yeti's cave", which meant the original narrative had to be fleshed out.
Griping aside, I think the ending is coming along nicely, and I will continue to share updates as I go along. Thanks for reading, if you like my work, subscribe, like, leave a hateful comment, or find another way to feed the social media beast (it hungers).

Hi, thank you for posting this useful and informative thread. I haven't applied for naturalization yet but hoping to do it soon. I am just gathering my documents at the moment.I am a bit busy working and looking after my children.Thank you once again.
I didn't realise that the NHS health surcharge is now £1000!!!


In the Land of the Archives p1.
Have you ever thought what really is being kept in the archives? Most people don't' know. I didn't know until I went there. Official documents, old letters, pictures but what else? Well then, fasten your seatbelts and put on your dust goggles. We're going on a grand tour!
One of those things we have are the students' agreements. Those were the agreements every student had to sign before they were accepted. They are not loose documents, but are bound in quite large books. They consisted of a series of questions that the candidate had to answer. The questions are printed and the answers filled in by hand. It was in the times when the calligraphy was compulsory and it gives a pretty, even effect when written down. For the pages that contain not much more than some questions and answers, we can deduce some interesting information, if we're willing to look closely enough. Some questions were about practical things, like place of birth, previous education and if they had means to pay for their education. Some were a sign of times. Nobody would put a question like: 'Are you in the habit of attending the Lord's Supper?' in that kind of document anymore. I think it speaks volumes about what was important for the people in the past, as well as the character of the school back then.
In those agreements we can see what kind of people came to the school. Among them were tailors, schoolmasters, horse grooms, but also puzzle makers and 'map dissectors' whatever that trade might be.:-) Anyone could see what kind of job the great-great-great-great-grandpa did before he became a teacher.
Did you know that the Battersea training school accepted the students that were married? That's something not many schools did at the time. Just another sign how progressive it was.

When I made post about the black history month, I mentioned that I am going to write about our displaying capabilities. Sadly, I have to say that they are very inadequate. When I asked around if people saw the display, the answer was more often 'no' than 'yes'. I can't really blame them, as the location and the equipment are hardly adequate. Don't get me wrong. I think that both archives and library staff are doing the best they can with what they got. However, what they got is hardly enough. A glass cabinet displays that is tough to look into and one 'bible stand' is all there is to put up a display.
When I was young I went to a school that was located in a city that was very young, less than seventy years. The school was the first to be opened in this young city and was not much more than fifty years old. Even though their history was not very long, they still managed to have a 'memory hall'- a specially prepared room to house the display of their mementoes. Wouldn't you agree that as a school with long history and prestige, we deserve to have a 'memory hall'? I think that it would be a great idea. We could share it of course and use it to display other things, the work of the art students perhaps? The visitors on the Open Days could clearly see that we're to be treated seriously and that we're proud of what we are. Our memory deserves better than to be hidden away or relegated to the corner of a busy corridor.
He couldn't draw to save his life, but he sang quite well. We know exactly how tall he was and what school he went to, but we are not sure what he looked like. He was ours, Cyril Humphreys Leary, a student of St Mark's College. He was a war veteran but only looking at his records stored in the archives one can finally see the man behind the icon.
He came from Bourne in Lincolnshire; he was eighteen when he enrolled in 1913. When the war came and St. Mark's College became a hospital, he stayed on and served as a 'drug department dispenser'. There is one picture that might be him, a man in white lab coat surrounded by uniformed soldiers.
He died of pneumonia in 1918 in Brighton, only 23 years old. There are letters written by his father, William Leary, which inform of his death. The blue embossed paper bears black frame- a universal sign of bad news. The archives are holding a copy of a letter with a response to his family, stating that he will not be forgotten and that he will have a place in the war memorial. Yet no matter how hard you squint and how long you read the names from the memorial, Leary's name is not there. He died while he was still in service and so he should be among them. Even now the action is being taken to rectify this mistake. Can we really let a man to be forgotten? No. We do not forget, we honour and remember all who made sacrifices for the future. Even now, the application is being made to the War Memorial Trust to help us put Leary's name where it belongs and finally fulfil the promise we made nearly a hundred years ago.


With the opening of George W's presidential library, pundits are rushing to whitewash the memory of those years of folly.
My new Nation column is called "The Reluctant Fundamentalist (and the Journalist Spy)" and it's about the conflicts raised by Mira Nair's challenging new film.
And here's a second column I did for the Nation website on Maureen Dowd's various crimes against common sense and gun control.
Oh, and I gave a talk at to Cornell's Mario Enaudi Center for International Studies on the topic of "On the Search for a Liberal Foreign Policy" on Monday afternoon. It's written up here and you can watch it on video, here.
Two of the worst decisions in all human history occurred recently. The first was to award the 2013 Pulitzer Prize for commentary to Bret Stephens. The second, even worse if anything was even remotely imaginable, was to award the 2013 Sidney Hillman Award for commentary to Andrew Sullivan. I had a few other things to say this week, but nothing so important that it should draw attention away from the above atrocities. Seriously, when I first read about this award, my first thought was "We liberals deserve to lose," and I should have gone to work for Goldman Sachs when I had the chance.
I wanted to like "Smash" but it's so horrible that I had to stop watching it. Who cares if that fellow is an imperfect director or those two kids get their play done? Not me. I watch too much TV anyway. (I also deleted "Nashville" and "Revenge" from the DVR so all I'm really watching is HBO and FX, with a little PBS and a lot of TCM.) Anyway, I did rather admire Megan Hilty and so I was pleased for the opportunity to check out her, um, pipes at Joe's Pub last week. The show was strangely short, forty minutes tops including the encore (which was a double bummer since, owing to the sequestration, my flight from Ithaca had been cancelled and I had taken a six hour bus ride to be there). She did a powerful version of one my favorite songs, "Heart of the Matter," and I did not recognize the rest, which are apparently on her new CD. Hard to judge, hearing them for the first time, but I'd be surprised if she doesn't grow and grow as an artist. I wondered if people felt this way about Streisand, in the beginning….
The Iridium is hosting "Four Generations of Miles this weekend" and it features Jimmy Cobb (who played drums on Kind of Blue), Sonny Fortune, Buster Williams and Mike Stern. I caught the first of these shows on Thursday night, as things were just jelling. I was familiar with, I guess, three generations of Miles. Pretty much everyone knows that Mr. Cobb played on Kind of Blue and he still plays with plenty of energy. And Buster Williams and Sonny Fortune, well, what is there to say. They were and are pros, and their solos were thoughtful and intelligent. But the revelation, at least for this blogger, was Mike Stern. He took the lion's share of the solos—including especially on "My Funny Valentine,"—and it was hard to imagine where all that imagination began. What was great about the show was the fact of having no trumpeter—so the other instruments, particularly Stern and Fortune—got to redefine the songs and allow one to hear them anew.
Lest We Forget: Why is the Press So Willing to Rehabilitate George Bush's Legacy?
"The struggle of man against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting." Milan Kundera wrote these words in his powerful 1979 novel, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting. Set against the backdrop of totalitarian Czechoslovakia, Kundera's book opens with a chilling example of the poisonous example of rewriting history to serve political needs.
On a cold, wintry day in February 1948, two Communist leaders, Klement Gottwald and Vladimir Clementis, stood side-by-side on a balcony in Prague's main square to rally hundreds of thousands of citizens to their cause. It was a "fateful moment," Kundera writes, one captured in an iconic photo of the two men that would soon be ubiquitous throughout the new country. Only four years later, however, Clementis would fall out of favor with the party, be charged with treason and hanged. Desperate to rid themselves of any trace of his now tainted legacy, the Czech censors set about dutifully scrubbing any documentary record of Clementis's role, including that photo that every schoolchild in Czechoslovakia knew by heart. Right before the original picture had been taken, though, in gesture of solidarity, Clementis had removed his fur cap and placed it onto Gottwald's head. In the new, doctored photo, the censors had predictably removed the image of Clementis, but not all evidence of his presence that day. For, still sitting atop Gottwald's head, was that same fur cap. Truth is stubborn and isn't so easily erased, in other words, as long as one knows where to look and is willing to remember it.
During this past week, what we as a nation choose to remember or forget has proved to be especially salient. Barely four years removed from his last day in the White House, the reclusive ex-President Bush has enjoyed an outpouring of media attention in anticipation of the opening of his new presidential library in Dallas. Of course, this is to be expected and naturally leads itself to some reflection of Bush's tenure. But what was startling to see this past week was the degree to which the press willingly obliged a phalanx of Bush apologists intent on airbrushing out the many inconvenient and dreadful aspects of our 43rd president's legacy.
This revisionism took many forms. Befitting a Washington press corps obsessed with horserace numbers, there was plenty of poll cherry-picking. Thus, much was made of an ABC News survey that found Bush's overall approval rating had rebounded to 47 percent, up from the woeful 33 percent mark it stood at just days before he left office. Andrew Malcolm of Investor's Business Daily squeezed a whole, sneering column out of this stone, mocking the similarly middling approval numbers of President Obama, who, he claims, has blamed Bush for just about everything that's gone wrong, "except his miserable NCAA tournament brackets." (Uh, Andrew, Obama's 1-for-5 in picking March Madness winners, where's your sheets?) Notably less popular among pundits like Malcolm, naturally, was a recent NBC News poll that showed Bush's favorability still mired in the mid-30s.
"I have no war plans on my desk." But, [Bush] added, "It's dangerous to think of a scenario where a country like Iraq would link up with the al-Qaida organisation…It's a threat to civilisation."
This passage contains one outright lie and one egregiously misleading statement. In fact, by late 2001, Bush had already begun extensive war planning with the military for the invasion of Iraq. And the 9/11 Commission and a Pentagon report both subsequently affirmed that at no point was there ever any credible evidence suggesting a link between Iraq and Al Qaeda's 2001 attacks.
Over at RealClearPolitics, former Bush aide Keith Hennessey was given free rein to serve up another juicy red herring: "George W. Bush is Smarter Than You." Hennessey, a lecturer at Stanford, recounted a recent classroom discussion about the 2008 financial crisis where one of his students asked: "How involved was Bush with what was going on?" To which Hennessey, in a classic debate gambit, reinterpreted the question to suit his own agenda: "What you really mean is, 'Was President Bush smart enough to understand what was going on,' right?" Perhaps caught off-guard, the student and the class remained silent in response, Hennessey recalls, which he took as proof of a grand liberal condescension of Bush's intelligence.
This know-nothing "caricature" of the 43rd President, Hennessey complains, was sketched out by a meretricious press and filled in by mean late-night talk-show hosts. In contrast, he regales us with stories of a George W. Bush who was "extremely smart" and "highly analytical" and routinely outthinking his very smart advisors. What Hennessey noticeably fails to address is the critique behind the student's actual and very legitimate question, however. For, at numerous points throughout his presidency, Bush, brilliant or not, was known for mentally checking out and displaying abjectly poor judgment.
More guest-columnist misdirection took place when the folks at USA Today conveniently turned over space on their op-ed page to Bush's 2004 campaign manager, Ken Mehlman. His message, couched as advice for the future of the Republican Party, was little more than a rosy recounting of the many supposed ways his former boss practiced "inclusiveness" in his policies and politics. Here again, a more careful look can see right through the legacy whitewashing. Bush's message of tolerance toward Muslims after 9/11 was far from effective, despite Mehlman's suggestions to the contrary. The climate of fear, ably stoked by the White House, notably led to a 1,600 percent rise in anti-Muslim hate crimes in 2001.
But this isn't even the most outrageous bit of revisionism in Mehlman's column on Bush "inclusiveness." That would be total absence of the issue of gay marriage. Indeed, one could argue no politician in US history demagogued anti-gay fears as successfully as Bush did during his 2004 re-election campaign, when his campaign architect, Karl Rove, helped orchestrate a nationwide effort of anti-gay marriage referenda to boost evangelical Christian turnout. (While their impact in most states seems to have been negligible, this University of Florida study found evidence that the anti-gay marriage ballot measure did prime Bush turnout in Ohio, the state that ultimately decided the 2004 election.) Ironically, in 2010, Mehlman himself came out as gay, yet he still seems to harbor enough loyalty for Bush to paper over one of the most shameful political moments from the president's legacy.
Over at The Washington Post, Bush enjoyed an embarrassment of image-rehabilitation riches. The least worst of them probably belonging to Dan Balz and his long article about Bush "back in the spotlight." Herein follows the sources, in order, quoted by Balz for the first three-quarters of the story: Tony Blair; Karen Hughes; Karl Rove; Hughes (again), Rove (again), Mark Langdale, president of the George W. Bush Foundation; and Joshua Bolten, former Bush White House chief of staff. Notice a theme, there? Only in the final three paragraphs of the thirty-two-paragraph article, when Balz quotes three successive academics who study presidential history, do we hear from any uniformly critical voices of Bush's presidency.
Speaking of academics, the Post also let Stephen Knott, a professor at the US Naval War College, fire a barrage of broadsides at his profession in an op-ed entitled "George W. Bush is a Victim of a Rush to Judgment." (And looky here, Professor Knott also has a book by the same name you might want to buy.) In a way, though, Knott does his readers a service by listing a number of historians whose critiques place Bush among the worst presidents in our nation's history. Not surprisingly, Knott makes little attempt at refuting their actual arguments, instead he just lumps them all into a bag labeled "too-soon-to-tell" and calls them partisan, liberal fear-mongers. At what point academic and historical studies on the Bush administration will be far enough removed in time to be valid in his eyes, well, he doesn't say.
Why the shift? Aside from the 'memories fade' point, many of his supposed failures are mild compared to the current president (e.g. spending, debt). Unlike Obama's tenure, there was no successful attack on the homeland after 9/11. People do remember the big stuff—rallying the country after the Twin Towers attack, seven-and-a-half years of job growth and prosperity, millions of people saved from AIDS in Africa, a good faith try for immigration reform, education reform and a clear moral compass.
Where to begin? "People" may remember the big stuff, but not Rubin, apparently. Besides giving Bush what Charles Pierce rightly calls "The Great Mulligan" for 9/11, she's also cast down the memory hole the post-2001 anthrax attacks that killed five people and the 2002 terrorist attack on the El Al airline counter at the LA Airport that killed three. As for seven-and-a-half years of job growth, it's actually more like four. And what to say about a pundit who unironically ascribes to Bush a "clear moral compass" after the recent release of a bipartisan report that clearly documented his administration's willful embrace of torture?
But wait, there's more! Rubin is careful to ladle in heaping helpings of clichés to make the indoctrination go down smoother. Thus, we get "a robotic, cold president like Obama" contrasted with Bush's "tender, tearful love of country." Our enemies, naturally, must instead contend with Bush's "steely anger." What's more, she recalls a "warm," "productive" relationship between the US and Israel during Bush's tenure, while overlooking his administration's spectacular failure, where it inadvertently assisted the militant organization Hamas in gaining operational control of the Gaza Strip. And when she concludes with an assault on financial reality that judges Bush's trillion-dollar debacle in Iraq, profligate government security costs and ridiculous tax cuts for the rich as merely "some excess in domestic spending," compared to Obama's "non-existent" courage in tackling our fiscal woes, I honestly wondered if she wasn't a plant installed by the Post merely to keep its fact-checkers employed.
[Bush] presided over an average unemployment rate of 5.3 percent (the second strongest of the past seven presidencies) and saw jobs grow steadily for four years from 2003 through 2007. In fact, the highest unemployment rate of any one year in Mr. Bush's two terms (6.3 percent) is more than a full point below the lowest annual rate of Mr. Obama's.
This is such a fun game, let's play along with Ed, shall we? Let's see, the Titanic averaged 21 knots for the first 90% of its voyage (and 0 knots for the remaining 10%), which means the ship would have averaged a speed of a little less than 19 knots when its overall speeds were averaged across the entire trip. Not too shabby of a crossing time to New York harbor, amirite?
Okay, perhaps that's not a fair mathematical comparison. Symbolically, however, one struggles to find a better analogy for the Bush administration's combination of hubris, excess, recklessness, incompetence and calamitous conclusion than the disastrous voyage of the Titanic. And just as the iceberg that laid the ship low was never seen by those in charge on its bridge, it's striking that in former party leader Gillespie's "catalog" of the Bush years, one never encounters the word "Iraq." But unlike with the Titanic, this is no accident.
If Kundera, who is still alive, chose to write a sequel to The Book of Laughter and Forgetting, he could do a lot worse than set it in the US during the first decade of the 21st century. If so, he might well begin the story about that period with a short passage based on another iconic photo, one where a stubbornly inconvenient "Mission Accomplished" banner sits in place of Clementis's fur cap. No doubt, the powerful here in our country are now eager for us to forget that day and a lot of what we know about George W. Bush. But now, as then, it falls to the rest of us to remember—history and truth depend upon it.
Programming note: I'll be discussing my recent cover story for The Nation, "The GOP-Fox Circus Act," on Mark Thompson's radio show, Make It Plain, tonight (Friday, 4/26). You can listen in on SiriusXM Left channel 127; his show begins at 6:00pm, but I'm told I'll be on sometime in the 7 o'clock hour.

Trevor Bauer Expected To Start Sunday Despite Assault Allegations
William S. Morrow July 1, 2021
WASHINGTON (AP) — Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts says pitcher Trevor Bauer is still on track to start Sunday against the Washington Nationals while police and Major League Baseball investigate an assault allegation made against the reigning NL Cy Young Award winner.
Police in Pasadena, California, are investigating claims by a woman who has also obtained a protection order against Bauer, according to her attorney. Jon Fetterolf, Bauer's co-agent, has disputed the allegations.
Roberts said Thursday that Bauer's availability to pitch is "out of our hands," deferring to the league. Under the Joint MLB-MLBPA Domestic Violence Policy, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred has the power to place a player on administrative leave while allegations are investigated.
"I'm in the position of following the lead of Major League Baseball," Roberts said. "Their recommendation was for us to … he was our scheduled (starter) Sunday, and to move forward and start that game on Sunday. And so for me to try to read into it anymore outside of what they advised me and us to do, I just choose to follow their lead."
Players can be suspended without being charged with a crime under MLB's domestic violence policy, which was collectively bargained. Teams cannot enforce discipline unless the league approves.
Roberts said he has spoken with Bauer but would not share details of their conversation. He also declined to comment on multiple follow-up questions.
Bauer emerged from the Dodgers clubhouse and hopped onto the field pregame Thursday just before 5 p.m. He threw in right field before gathering his things in the bullpen and returning to the dugout. Bauer swiftly walked past reporters, down the dugout steps and back into the clubhouse when asked to comment.
A hearing in Bauer's case is scheduled for July 23.
The protection order was obtained under the Domestic Violence Prevention Act and was the result of an "assault that took place at the hands of Mr. Bauer" where the woman "suffered severe physical and emotional pain," attorney Marc Garelick said.
Fetterolf disputed the allegations that Bauer committed any nonconsensual violence. He said Bauer met the woman in April, and the two had "a brief and wholly consensual sexual relationship initiated" by the woman.
Bauer is 8-5 with a 2.59 ERA this season for Los Angeles. He signed a three-year, $102 million deal with the Dodgers in the offseason.

Englehart's Doctor Strange and the British New Wave
One of the best characteristics of good adventure comics and good comics writers, the most literate and intelligent (Englehart, Gerber, et. al.) is their ability to use their comics to have a discussion, to interact with the forces around them. If the nation is in malaise from Watergate, the comics should reflect that. If Christian fundamentalism has become a frighteningly powerful force in our culture, the comics should show that, too.
One of Stan Lee's greatest realizations was how Marvel Comics reacted to the antiestablishment, antiheroic strains of Modernism, just as much as Arthur Penn and Frances Coppola would take Truffeaut and Goddard, and from inside the studio system, start the American New Hollywood Cinema.
This characteristic, of responding to the greater world, is (mostly) lost now because of how comics writers have come to look at superhero and adventure books as being nostalgia-oriented. They view it as inherently for children (instead of for older children, intelligent children, teens, adults, and intelligent adults) and as a consequence write books with a lot less sophistication and credit to the reader. These writers also view comics as unable to have a dialogue with the bigger world, so they write comics about comics. I'm talking about writers like Mark Waid, Grant Morrison, Jeph Loeb, and (at least post-1990) Alan Moore.
All this may sound a little weird when we're talking about fun, escapist adventure books. I'm not so sure, though. One of the interesting paradoxes about escapism is, the best kinds of escapism are based on experiencing emotions that we wouldn't ordinarily like to feel, but we enjoy in a story.
For instance, take Ben Grimm. He's an ugly monster, alone and alienated from the human race by his grotesque appearance, a character capable of great self-pity and who depends on his strength because he feels he doesn't have anything else to offer anyone.
Obviously, this isn't escapism in that, for instance, people want to BE Tarzan, because of his freedom, physical prowess, and exciting life. But it still is escapism! The defining characteristics of that most escapist of all literature, romance novels, is that at the end one of the lovers dies of cancer.
The greatest adventure comics writer of all time, Steve Englehart, realized how important it was for his work to interact with the world around him. Englehart's CAPTAIN AMERICA AND THE FALCON was about the malaise of the Nixon years, conspiracies involving corporations that usurp American democracy, and the ruthlessness of energy/oil companies.
At the same time, Englehart's DOCTOR STRANGE was the first time that the good Doctor was influenced by the counterculture-spirited, British New Wave of science fiction and fantasy writers, personified in the magazine NEW WORLDS and represented by writers like Norman Spinrad and Michael Moorcock, and had an influence on writers like Roger Zelazny and Frank Herbert. Briefly put, the spirit of the British New Wave was the following:
1) The importance of Jungian symbolism, and the reality and significance of symbol becoming personified or real. This was the first science fiction for which psychology was important. This is also the first science fiction for whichthere was significance to dreams and the collective unconscious. Also, where the events of the story in the outer world were identical to what was going on in a character's inner mind.
2) An emphasis on non-Western, non-scientific cosmologies and means of measuring time. The idea of the "multiverse" was new to science fiction but not to Hinduism. The idea of a spirit world where real consciousness happens, for instance. This was the first science fiction where
3) Hallucinogenic drugs as the secret of the universe, as seen in Norman Spinrad's stories about a "true" drug culture, or Moorcock's Jerry Cornelius.
4) A fascination with alternate sexuality, hermaphroditism, homosexuality.
5) A rejection of fascism, right-wing politics, Toryism, anti-imperialism, antiracism, and an embracing of radical politics and the counterculture.
6) A rejection of the escapist adventure story.
All of the above are present in Englehart's rock n' roll DOCTOR STRANGE, with the exception of #4, which couldn't be delved into because of the restrictions of the comics code. Sounds like the punchline of a joke, doesn't it? The Comics Code was at first a tragedy and then it became a farce. But apparently there are still some things that, even in the crazy 1970s (when Americans still had balls) a mainstream comic couldn't do. Englehart made up for #4 in a very, very big way with his sex-filled COYOTE, the main character of whom had a sexuality almost as oddball as Jerry Cornelius himself.
But hey, let's go down these one by one.
#1) Englehart was fascinated by representing symbolic figures. He featured Death heavily, for example, as well as Eternity. Englehart did not create either one, but the way he used them, as a journey of self-discovery and enlightenment, WAS new. In one story, Englehart has Doctor Strange go through every period of his life. Every period of his life taught him something. In other words, the external events of the story were related to the character's inner world and mental state. He could never win externally because the problem was internal.
#2) Everything about Englehart's work priveledged and valorized non-Western, Indian, Shamanistic and Chinese means of thinking. This is obvious enough, but what's interesting is how Englehart applied this perspective. The best example of non-linear thinking would be in Englehart's treatment of time in the battle against Sisi-Neg.
#3) HAHAHAHAHAHA. Oh boy! The biggest not-so-secret secret of the Marvel Universe is that Doctor Strange has a lot of great shit. Why do you think the Defenders hung around the Sanctum Sanctorum all the time? Englehart had to approach this subject very carefully considering how mainstream what he was writing was, but the best example would be DOCTOR STRANGE #6, where Englehart and Clea were in Central Park and a junkie approached them. "In my time, in my studies...I have dealt with many drugs to free the body and mind..."
#5) Fascinatingly enough, DOCTOR STRANGE was Englehart's least political work, though his works made Englehart's political leanings clear, along with his distrust of hysterical patriotism and corporate power. Doctor Strange had the fascination with Eastern mysticism, rejection of materialism, and distaste for violence that the counterculture had. There are only a few hints of politics. In DOCTOR STRANGE #11 the good Doctor encountered a figure that represented repression and authority, who wore a Nixon mask. There too was the villainous Silver Dagger, an insane, fanatical witch-hunter that ironically, was a student of magic. He wasn't as memorable as Gerber's Foolkiller, to be sure, but he condemned Christian religious fundamentalism.
#6) Doctor Strange, under Englehart, were not stories about the exilaration of power. Doctor Strange was ineffective when applying power, because he managed to overcome obstacles by understanding and realizing their true nature. Yes, Doctor Strange was adventure, and yes it was escapist, but what's interesting is what Englehart could accomplish within the structures of traditional comics.
By the way, everything I'm talking about here goes a million for Englehart's COYOTE, which had the essence of his DOCTOR STRANGE and MARVEL PREMIERE work boiled down, but it was done in a different context...well, it's worth a post in and of itself!
Finally, it seems rather pointless at this point to point out that Englehart, like Spinrad and Moorcock, had a giant beard and did a lot of drugs in the sixties and seventies.

King Charles is showing 'weakness' in response to Harry and Andrew
King Charles III coronation details revealed by Palace
On Wednesday evening, GB News ran a segment about the recent staged protest at Buckingham Palace in which supporters of the campaign group Republic placed a massive 'polling station' sign on the palace gates as they call for an elected Head of State. Dan Wootton spoke about the campaign and asked his show guest, royal biographer Tom Bower, about what other factors could "undermine" King Charles' coronation.
Host Dan Wootton said on the Republic campaign: "It's clear now that Republicans feel empowered by Prince Harry's vicious attacks on the monarchy, with the group vowing to stage further stunts in the run-up to May's coronation.
Dan Wootton also suggested that King Charles' coronation may be "spoilt" by "those closer to home" as well.
He said: "With no [response] from the Palace on whether the Sussexes will be allowed to attend the national celebration following bombshell accusations against the monarchy.
"The Palace's dignified silence now has media tongues wagging with speculation as to whether or not the couple, or just solo Prince Harry, with chose to or even be allowed to attend the celebrations."
Dan Wootton then spoke to his guest, Tom Bower, a former BBC journalist who has written the biography 'Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors'.
The GB News host asked Mr Bower if he believed Buckingham palace would take an "aggressive stance" or "continue to appease" Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Tom Bower answered: "Well I think it's even worse than that because I think that King Charles is showing the very weakness that I always feared.
"I think the British public wants a line drawn under this whole saga. They want these dangerous people from Montecito to be silenced."
Tom Bower continued: "It's not only the Sussexes that are jeopardising the coronation, it's Prince Andrew as well now as he seeks to resuscitate his reputation.
"I think King Charles is absolutely bombarded by the problems of his family.
"He needs to draw a line and just show he is not going to allow these two, Harry and Andrew, to undermine the coronation.
"He needs to say quite firmly that Harry and Meghan are not invited..and that he disapproves of what Harry has done."

Earlier this month, Prince Harry published his memoir 'Spare' and named Queen Camilla, who will also be crowned at the May 6 coronation, of leaking stories about the Royal Family to the British media.
In an interview promoting the book on CBS, Prince Harry said he has not spoken with his brother Prince William or father King Charles in "a while" and that the "ball is very much in their court" when it came to reconciliation.
In an ABC interview, he also said it has been "a long time" since he has spoken with his stepmother Queen Camilla.
He said: "I love every member of my family, despite the differences, so when I see her, we're perfectly pleasant with each other.
"She's my stepmother. I don't look at her as an evil stepmother. I see someone who married into this institution and has done everything that she can to improve her own reputation and her own image, for her own sake."

Gerald Plaatjies – passionate about using Microsoft Office in the classroom
It is not every day that you find a Maths author is also a teacher who is passionate about using technology in his classroom. Mr Gerald Plaatjies is a Grade 5 Maths teachers at Eden Park Primary School in Johannesburg, South Africa (Ekurhuleni West District), and he is very passionate about integrating technology in education. He has been teaching Maths at Eden Park Primary School for over 21 years, and during this time he has created a variety of learning materials for his learners using Microsoft Office. Mr Plaatjies is the author of the Amazing Mental Calculations: Division book which was published in Canada; and he is in the process of completing his second book in this series entitled Amazing Mental Calculations: Timetables.
Gerald has been interested in using technology in teaching for many years. In fact, it all started in the year 2000 when he bought his first computer. "I learnt the nitty gritty stuff by myself, starting with word processing", he said. He is motivated by making mathematics as interactive and practical as possible in the classroom. He uses Microsoft extensively in his classroom and PowerPoint is one of his favourite tools for his lessons and assessments.
Gerald uses ICT technology for lessons and other every day tasks in a variety of ways using Microsoft Office and other technologies. He displays images on PowerPoint to teach 3D shapes in Geometry as well as to show differences and similarities between 2D and 3D objects. He encourages his learners to take photos of buildings and objects around the school and he uses these in mathematics lessons. He makes video recordings of practical lessons for his learners to refer to when they don't understand Maths concepts. Gerald enjoys using Microsoft Excel to make graphs for all kinds of situations. He chooses real life situations to demonstrate making graphs in class. He records all his marks using Microsoft Excel and also uses Excel as an analytical tool. He uses Microsoft Office programs to design certificates for the learners., and they love receiving these. He also created a cover for the school diary using Microsoft Office programs.
Teaching at a public school in South Africa is not without its challenges especially when it comes to using technology during lessons. Electricity outages are not uncommon. Gerald has to book the devices when he wants to use them in class as these are in demand. Lack of Internet connectivity is also a regular challenge. However, these challenges do not diminish his enthusiasm. He bought his own data projector to use in class, as he believes it is important for the learners to see what he is presenting. Gerald believes that the use of a program PowerPoint can make a lesson very interesting. He often converts PowerPoint presentations to MP4 videos so that they can be viewed via a DVD player by means of a USB.
Gerald Plaaitjies has his future dreams for education. He looks forward to that day in South Africa when schools can do away with paper and become paperless classrooms. He longs for the day when parents are more involved in driving and encouraging the use of technology in education. He advocates that effective communication between parents and teachers will start the conversation in this direction.

Carol Ege gruesomely disemboweled love rival Cindy Thompson – Betrayed investigates
Mon Apr 06, 2020 at 10:59am ET
By Jerry Brown
Convicted twice, Carol Ege brutally murdered her love rival, Cindy Thompson. Pic credit: Michigan Dept. of CorrectionsBetrayed looks at the case of a deadly love triangle in Michigan. Cindy Thompson was seven months pregnant when the father of the child, Mark Davis, found her dead in her home in Pontiac, Michigan, on February 22, 1984.
Davis found Thompson lying dead on the floor of her bedroom; she had been bludgeoned and stabbed, her organs were lying on the floor beside her.
Police almost immediately suspected Carol Ege, who had been a partner of Davis. Ege had exhibited jealous rage towards Thompson in the past, and the pair had engaged in a physical struggle just 2-months before the murder.

Police could find no definitive evidence to charge her, and the case went cold. It was reopened 1992-1993 when evidence collected from the crime scene was submitted to the Michigan state crime lab for the first time.
Bite mark evidence helped convict Carol Ege
Authorities determined that a bite mark found on Thompson's face could only have come from Ege's front teeth.

Further evidence against Ege included two men acquainted with Ege, who claimed she had offered them $350 to murder Thompson and her roommate, who testified that she had asked to provide her with an alibi in exchange for free rent.
Thompson's wounds were consistent with impacts caused by a ball-peen hammer similar to one found in Ege's possession. However, no forensic evidence was found to link Ege's hammer to the crime scene.

With the exception of the bite mark, there was no physical evidence to link Ege to the crime.
However, she was still convicted of murder in 1992, only to have the conviction overturned in 2005 when a judge ruled that too much emphasis had been put on the bite mark, and the evidence was discredited.
She was resentenced in 2007 with the same verdict of life in prison without the possibility of parole. The jury decided that despite the lack of physical evidence, she was still guilty of the murder.

This year Thanksgiving took us a couple of hours northeast of San Diego to a cabin in the charming town of Idyllwild. Since we were spending Thanksgiving in an untraditional way (at least untraditional for us!) we decided to have an untraditional dinner. Thanksgiving dinner started with freshly-baked pretzels with a slightly sweet yet tangy and savory cranberry, feta, and cream cheese dipping sauce. After our pretzel appetizer came the main course: beef braised in veal demi-glace and chocolate stout with carrots, fennel, onions, red peppers, and celery. The beef was served on top of jalapeno-havarti grits with an accompanying salad of grilled brussels sprouts and asparagus tossed with sauteed portobello mushrooms, red bell peppers, minced garlic, crispy bacon, pepita seeds, and a tangy red wine vinaigrette. Several hours after dinner, we were able to make room for a delicious pineapple upside-down coconut cake with a layer of buttercream frosting and sweetened flaked coconut on the bottom.
A: weeks before thanksgiving it was suggested to me that it would be nice if we could do a simple and rustic meal rather than a big ol' honkin' turkey. so our dinner this past thursday was not typical of what one might think of when planning a meal for turkey day. it turned out okay though, i think. thoughts?
T: I thought it was delicious. The pretzels were really really soft and tasty. They made a fantastic appetizer. And I thought the main dish was perfectly rustic, warming, and just plain scrumptious. The salad was particularly good I thought. Mmm mmm with those little pieces of bacon… that stuff was good. It was probably the farthest from a traditional thanksgiving meal that I've had, but I have no complaints. You?
A: i agree. for the most part in the end everything turned out to be yummy. it's always kind of frustrating using a small, unequipped, kitchen that is not your own. that was definitely true here. i kept feeling like i was f'ing everything up. anywho, i thought the pretzels turned out really well but there was definitely something different from the amish market pretzels i grew up eating… you know, the ones i was trying to reproduce. the beef braised in chocolate stout and demi-glace was good… but not quite what i was looking for when i set out making it. the jalapeno cheese grits were mega tasty. at least i didn't mess those up! 😉 ooo, i also was really really into the salad. the bacon and red wine vinaigrette really set off the asparagus, portobellos, brussels sprouts and pepitas. mmm that was a good one! I'm going to have to give the meal overall a 3.99/5. it was good, really it was. i think it lost points for being so frustrating to make. i can't hold that against the food though. if i were rating the pretzels by themselves they would get a 4.3/5 – i will definitely be making these bad boys again. The beef and grits together would get a 3.8/5 and the salad would get a 4.6/5. i don't know why when i think of all the items together it adds up to a low score, but it does…geez! you should have shut me up about half a page ago!
T: I thought you were going for a record or something. Whew, that last "statement" was more text than the rest of our conversation combined!
T: well, I'm sorry that it was so frustrating for you to make… my frustration level eating it was exceptionally low. I'd give the meal as a whole a 4.65/5. The beef and grits really hit the spot as a nourishing rustic meal, and the salad. my god that was a good salad. YUM. And, I've never had a real Amish pretzel, but those pretzels that you made were the best pretzels I've ever had. Seriously good. Yummy yum. And we haven't said anything about the cranberry/feta/cream cheese dip, but that stuff was really good as well. You gotta put up a recipe for it- it was a great twist on a classically-thanksgiving ingredient. So thank you Amanda for giving our bellies and mouths and noses something to be happy about on thanksgiving. Mmm.
A: no prob bob! you know, i think my biggest regret with the thanksgiving meal being untraditional is that we don't have a ton of leftovers to feed us for the next week! i could really go for some leftover turkey hash right about now!
T: yeah, leftover turkey would be a good thing. Hmmm… we could go around begging for leftovers from our neighbors.
A: ooooor we could go hit up some of the post-thanksgiving grocery sales, buy a cheapy turkey they need to get off the shelves and roast one this week! woo hoo! week-after-thanksgiving turkey here we come!
8 oz cream cheese, well softened to room temperature.
Bring first 5 ingredients to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Once a boil is reached, reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until the cranberries have burst and the sauce is thick. Taste and season as necessary with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Remove from heat and allow sauce to cool for 5 minutes. Remove the rosemary sprig and sage leaves.
In a mixing bowl, cream the cream cheese (stir with a wooden spoon until easy to work with and slightly fluffy). Add the feta cheese and slightly cooled cranberry sauce to the bowl. Stir until thoroughly combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Makes a great dip for freshly baked pretzles or as a spread on bagels. Enjoy!
I suppose it wouldn't be right if I didn't comment on the pretzel seeing as I live in Lancaster PA, amish-town USA. but somehow i think yours were better. and i know i've said it before but those photos are BANK! i esp. like the cheese dip. A+ yalls.
I just cut up and salted about 20# of Cabbage for sauerkraut. Did you prep a lot of stuff before you went, or did you do it all there?
We had a untraditional traditional Thanksgiving.
Sitting on my hands until you post the braised beef recipe… I love cooking with beer! Have you ever tried a stout ice cream float or chocolate stout milkshake? Yuuuumm.
That's exactly what we did! We purchased a turkey the week after and I roasted it. We still have leftovers! It was a great idea and now I'm making lots of turkey curries. Yum!
I love your site. I followed it from tastespotting and haven't looked back since. I've already made several of the dishes spotlighted on here. Great stuff! Thanks for all of your wonderful recipes, pictures, and commentary.
Wow, I hope the recipes are to come soon. Everything looks amazing!
Please…share the Grits and Grillade. That is what brought me to this page. Or, tell me where to find it…that looks great!
it's my favorite version that i keep coming back to time and again! i hope you like it!
