I get things done by focusing on one task at a time. As you know I've recently fixated on Cooper's departure and as a result, concentration on Midlana has suffered and today was no different. Yesterday we visited several animal shelters, finding – not unexpectedly – that impressions gleaned from a website are often quite different than when meeting a dog in person.
Today we visited another county shelter, arriving with a short list of dogs we were interested in based solely upon their web picture. The ones I really liked (the appearance of) turned out to be a real handful – kind of like dating a beautiful Hollywood starlet who's a head-case, I'd imagine. Many of the young Terriers were (reminding us of Cooper as a puppy) something like miniature Arnold Schwarzenegger piranhas, or maybe like playing with a thorn-covered medicine ball. My wife said, "you don't need another chainsaw." As beautiful as the young dogs are we realized we just don't want to deal with the whole puppy thing at this time – maybe it's because I'm a decade older. It works out well for everyone since puppies are adopted fastest, followed by young dogs, and lastly, seniors.
Another variable is color; regardless of breed, dark colored dogs aren't adopted nearly as fast as lighter ones and it's just how people are. We were guilty of this, too, and only looked at lighter-colored dogs.
Anyhow, after looking at them we didn't find any compatible kids and headed back to the truck. We were just getting in when the girl who let us spend time with the dogs came by walking another dog. She asked what we thought of Piranha Boy (having probably guessed since we were leaving empty-handed.) I thanked her for her time and said that while he'll make some family very happy he was just a bit much for us. Then she said, "Oh by the way, there's another dog that's really calm yet not too old, did you meet him?" No… so back we went.
So she gets him out and we meet him, a nearly all black one-year old Terrier mix that was surprisingly calm, acting more like a four-year old than a puppy. We'd walked right by his cage earlier because… well… because he didn't fit our myopic view of what's attractive. However, instead of jumping all around, ignoring us, or trying to figure out how to dig out of the concrete enclosure like the other ones, he was happy for the company, quietly chew on his squeeky-toy while laying next to us. Uh oh, he's getting under my skin.
The saying is right, you go to the pound to adopt a dog, but the reality is that it's not up to you, the dog adopts you. He'll come home tomorrow, right after being relieved of his manhood… By the way, yesterday, one of the dogs decided – several times – that I'd make a wonderful mother to his children. "Let… go, get… off… of my leg!" Anyhow, so now there's the question: what do we name him? "Turbo?"… eh, no. "Pinion?"… no. "Midi?", as in "mid-engine", maybe. Regardless, you'll be seeing a lot more car updates now that the dog trauma is passing.
One consequence of the physical build getting ahead of the book is the inherit flying-without-a-net that goes with it, not having a drawing to follow. Last night the steering chapter was finished up so the CAD drawings were compared to the actual chassis to make sure everything's in the same place… nope. A careless mistake of measuring off the edge of a tube instead of the centerline means the steering rack mounts are offset. It's good to catch errors like this… but a whole lot better to catch it before holes are drilled and tubes welded! It's not so much the effort to correct it, but the time wasted.
The engine continues to move along; the sleeved block is on the way back to Jeremy of Drag Cartel to be built up. Meanwhile the head's getting ported, a valve job, plus a new valvetrain with Inconel exhaust valves. Good stuff.
One dog I was pretty interested in disappeared off the website this morning which means it was adapted. There was a brief instance of, "hey, I wanted that one!", but that was quickly replaced with being happy that that the little guy found a home. I read an interested quote about adapting a dog: "You may think you're choosing a dog, but the dog is actually choosing you." Who know what furry kid we'll end up with.
Here's a good example of how not to design an inboard suspension pivot bracket: a wide bracket welded to a narrow tube (as many Locosts have.) In the first picture, this passenger-side bracket has nearly failed – note the crack. How was this noticed? Because the same thing happened on the driver's side, but wasn't caught until the suspension broke off (second picture); the grinding marks are from it dragging on the asphalt. In both failures, note the angle of the A-arm tube, how a line drawn along its axis intersects the crack? All the bending force is aimed right at an unsupported portion of the bracket, so it's guaranteed to flex the bracket and therefore is a guaranteed eventual failure… These brackets will be fixed by adding top and bottom plates to box-in the structure, though the right way is to make the bracket and tube the same width to start with.
Working on the cowl and front cover chapters. The manuscript is now all caught up so it's time to start making progress in the garage again. Some people asked if I miss Cooper's company in the garage. Actually he doesn't… crap, see, I did it again, present tense… sigh… anyhow, he didn't like being in there due to the noise, and I was fine with that because I was concerned about him stepping on sharp metal or hurting his eyes by the UV from the welder.
I had forgotten about the Cooper video I had posted on the Kimini site. This was recorded one year to the day after his big operation, after he had learned how to walk again, making it five years ago now. When I played it this week I expected it to make me really sad, but it had a surprising impact instead. I saw a very happy and active dog having the time of his life, and how much it contrasted with how he had become in the last few months. Now, with this sudden five years of hindsight, I think he was in some pain, but Terriers don't show it. (When the vet gave him shots he didn't yelp, cry, jump, or even look around.) Toward the end he didn't want to lay down, and once he did he didn't want to get up, but he never complained.
Rant: Technically, Cooper is… was, an American Staffordshire Terrier, though many people thought he was a Pit Bull (the breeds are related.) Yet I've never known a more friendly happy dog who never bit a dog or person, just watch the video and decide for yourself; never was there a dog happier to say hello and play with another dog. Interestingly, a recent Sports Illustrated magazine had an article on what happened to all the dogs involved in the Michael Vick mess (Pit Bull fighting.) The article was notable for the tone running through it, that SI appeared to feel somewhat responsible for perpetuating at least some of the media hype regarding this breed. That's because back in the late 1980's, SI ran a somewhat alarmist article about Pit Bulls that fed the fire of panic about the breed. I've been around lots of dogs and been bitten exactly twice, by little yappy dogs. And before anyone says, "well, they don't rip your arm off," that's not the point. I've never seen an unfriendly Pit Bull and feel the media are nothing but sensationalistic story chasers who use creative license to embellish stories, publishing only select stories to further their agenda. With our TV having been disconnected eight years now I don't miss all the sensationalized "news." Yes, I know there are dangerous – trained – dogs out there, but to me that says a lot more about the owners than the breed. Of course it's alot easier to put dogs to sleep than people. Anyhow, we might get a similar breed next time, and maybe not, but it won't be due to their damaged reputation.
My block at ERL ready for sleeving.
In a sad irony, with Cooper gone I have more time to work on this site, the book, and the car. Since taking Cooper for walks is (I really did type "is")… was my primary source of exercise, the situation will have to be corrected eventually.
Thank you very much for the dozens of condolences for Cooper; it's clear there are many dog owners who've gone through this same thing (and others who are about to). I knew I signed up for this yet it doesn't make it any easier; who thinks of the sad parts when getting a pet? Sharing a pet in our lives is to live life and share ours with another – companionship. The notes I received contain many heartfelt words that could have only come those who've experienced this. I sincerely thank everyone.
Anyhow, life moves on, Jeremy of Drag Cartel sent a few pictures of my block in-work at ERL. It's being align-bored, sleeved, and even runs through a vibration process called Meta-Lax to relieve stresses inside the block. Once it's shipped back to Jeremy he'll get to work assembling it so I have to press onward.
This is the hardest thing I've ever had to do, knowing that I'm making Cooper's last meal, knowing that he's walking around the yard (oddly stopping often, like he was wanting to remember it,) carrying him out to the truck, made all the worse by him being happy to go – he always loves… loved, truck rides. Walking into the vet's office and Cooper being unafraid as always, knowing that I'm there for him, it just killed me. Then, when I was leaving I saw a lady in the waiting room with her dog and said, "Enjoy every day with him…" but being unable to finish my sentence. There's something very raw, a feeling of being stripped of all the facades we hide behind, suddenly breaking down and crying in front of complete strangers.
I'm left with a terrible mix of emotions, having been eternally hopeful that he'd somehow magically get better yet knowing he would not. Having his trust in me that I'd always be there for him, yet walking him to the gallows, and now being filled with a great sense of loneliness mixed with a feeling of deceit, like I tricked him into this, like I could have waited a few more days or weeks, yet watching him continue to wither away. Mix all this with a feeling of a huge empty void, a presence now absent – it just kills me. He was always here, through the Kimini build, the first book, the Midlana design and much of the writing of that, always happy to be with me no matter what I was doing, most often napping at my feet next to the computer. I feel like a big part of me has been ripped out.
To those who've never loved an animal like a family member you may wonder what all the fuss is about. I don't know whether to feel sorry for you or be happy you've never had to go through this.
Farewell my friend, rest in peace. I thank you for choosing us and making our lives better through your presence. You were a strong dog who never complained, always happy for a walk, attention, or simply to be with us not matter what we were doing. You knew everything we were saying and were like our own child. I hope that wherever you are that you're loved, and know that I'll never forget you. I miss you terribly already.
Built up the inboard suspension pivot fixtures, starting with the rear. Setting it in place (with great trepidation) showed that the forward lower pivot point was off 1/2″… huh? Had to go back through the CAD drawings, suspension design software, and measuring the chassis to figure out where the error was introduced. It appears I used suspension number from one of the endless iterations for the chassis and a different iteration for the fixture. No harm done as neither the A-arms nor pivots are in place yet. The new location was run through the suspension software to make sure it's okay, and it is. Just have to fix the one A-arm fixture.
Anyhow, so that was the rear fixture. The front one went together fine and setting it in place doesn't show any problems so that's good to go.
Here's a shot of the Koi pond from last week after we put the babies in; they're just visible in the foreground at far left. The big fish have just noticed me and are heading over to ask for food.
We've been spending time with Cooper – this is going to be a very difficult week. He's at my feet now, running in his sleep, even though his rear legs don't work well anymore… it breaks my heart.
Sorry for the late update. Didn't get much done on the car but did get to see our granddaughter who's now two years old. Her dad says when she's being pushed in the stroller in a mall, if a large person walks in front of her she shouts out, "Buns!" Pretty funny I thought, but as grandfather I can enjoy it without consequence. Also moved about a dozen baby Koi fish from our filter to the main pond where they seem pretty happy. Along with nurturing life comes the responsibility to also be destroyer-of-worlds, taking some large but sick Koi out of the pond and putting them out of their misery.


Prof. Severin Borenstein was 28 and filling his tank in Ann Arbor, Michigan, when his career path suddenly shifted gears.
It was 1986 and Borenstein, then an assistant professor of economics and public policy at the University of Michigan, had established himself as an expert on airline competition and pricing. But as he filled up his Toyota wagon that day, he asked the station owner why he sold unleaded gasoline for the same price as leaded, even though other stations charged more for unleaded. He didn't get a clear answer, other than to learn that station owners bought both formulations for the same price. They just jacked the price of unleaded higher because they could.
For Borenstein, E.T. Grether Chair in Business Administration and Public Policy at Haas, that quick stop at the gas station marked a turning point. He has spent much of the nearly 30 years since researching and analyzing energy markets, beginning with oil and gasoline, and then expanding to electricity, natural gas, and now climate change.
Last month, the International Association for Energy Economics (IAEE), a membership organization for professionals working in energy economics, honored Borenstein with its annual Outstanding Contributions to the Profession Award.
For Borenstein, it was the third award this year. In April, he was named a distinguished fellow of the Industrial Organization Society. And in January, the Power Association of Northern California presented the Energy Institute with its 2014 Achievement Award.
Peter Hartley, an economics professor at Rice University and current president of the IAEE, credited Borenstein not just for his work in energy economics, but for his insights into how markets of all types behave when it comes to competition and price discrimination.
Of Borenstein's many notable accomplishments, several stand out. Among economists, he is perhaps most closely associated with the prestigious U.C. Energy Institute, where he became director in 1994, and its successor organization, the Energy Institute at Haas, where he served as faculty director from its creation in 2009 until stepping down as director last year. He is now a research associate of the Energy Institute.
Borenstein left Michigan in 1989, joining the economics department at U.C. Davis. He moved to Haas in 1996.
Since returning to California, where he grew up (he's a Berkeley High grad), he has been heavily involved in California's energy policy. As chair of the California Energy Commission's Petroleum Market Advisory Committee, he is working with fellow committee members to figure out why the price of gas in California this year has been substantially higher than the national average. He also advised the California Air Resources Board on the implementation of the state's cap-and-trade program, which took effect in 2013 and is aimed at leveraging market forces to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Borenstein had already established himself as an expert on oil and gas pricing. But he quickly became known for his insights into electricity markets when he co-authored a paper that presciently predicted the huge spikes in electricity prices that followed deregulation. The Air Resources Board wanted to know if the cap-and-trade program would have a similar impact on prices. It didn't.
For the last decade, Borenstein has worked extensively on climate change and the economics of restricting greenhouse gas emissions. Today, much of his research is focused on distributional impacts—specifically, ways to minimize the harm that climate change policies could have on the poor.

Dance For Youth Final Report!
With major funding from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, Dance Ontario's Community Dance Partnerships have been off and running in several cities across the province. A natural extension of our Dance For Youth Forums, funded by the Department of Canadian Heritage and Trillium, we have worked with some wonderful dance enthusiasts who are partnering to develop innovative dance hubs in their local communities.
In LONDON, the November forum, facilitated by Debbie Kapp of the Lester B. Pearson School for the Arts , brought together educators from local school boards, venue and studio operators including Dance Extreme's Rebecca Brettingham, dance artists Menaka Thakkar,Michael DeConinck Smith of CCDT, Lacey Smith and Allen & Karen Kaeja, and the London Arts Council represented by Rebekah Morrison-Wize. Discussion was lively after a performance by Kaeja d'Dance. One of the attendees was London Community Players' board member, Barrie Tepperman,whose group was in the final stages of renovating The Palace Theatre and were considering developing a dance series for young people in order to reach a new demographic for their events. They later hired General Manager, Karen Killeen, and, under Dance Ontario's Community Dance Partnership Program, presented a SOLD-OUT gala performance to an enraptured audience featuring Esmeralda Enrique Spanish Dance Company on February 7.
Later, Canadian Children's Dance Theatre performed sold-out matinees representing the first in London Community Player's series of dance concerts for young people.
Forums in PARRY SOUND, SAULT STE MARIE and NORTH BAY facilitated by educator/artist Peter Ryan also brought together terrific local artists, school board representatives, enthusiastic venue operators and presenters.
Kudos to the Charles Stockey Centre's Dave Golden who worked so hard in Parry Sound. Canadian Children's Dance Theatre performed prior to a forum that included dance artist Santee Smith, Jocelyn Bell of the Near North District School Board and Tia Pearce of the Huntsville Festival of the Arts. We have since worked with Jocelyn in North Bay.
Ballet Creole brought young audiences to their feet after a show at the Kiwanis Theatre Centre in the Soo. Again the forum that followed generated a raft of fresh ideas from enthusiasts across the region including a new project Dances From A Distance scheduled for 2010. Our thanks go to Louisa Van Lith of the Algoma Fall Festival and Greg Marshall at the theatre for their help.
At the instigation of the indefatigable Jocelyn Bell with her other 'hat' - that of head of the Dance Dept at Widdifield Secondary School), forum participants joined students for delightful performance by Motus O Dance Theatre at North Bay's Capitol Centre on a cool and sunny Friday the 13 of February. Afterwards, we talked with many of the area's dance movers and shakers. The Capitol Centre's Dee Adrian joined Jocelyn, Jack Langenhuizen, James Croker, William Plumstead (CBACH/North Bay Arts Council) and Tia Pearse who we hope to work with over the next few years.
And, finally, in HAMILTON, a forum in 2008 followed a performance by AKA Dance and The Chimera Project at the Downtown Arts Centre (DAC)brought together local groups interested in increasing dance activity in the area. Our Community Dance Partnership saw fledgling alternative presenter Public Utility Performance and McMaster Dance (aka Patrick Brennan and Dave Wilson) collaborate on an innovative performance Krima...what a shame! choreographed by acclaimed choreographer Maxine Heppner presented @ the Downtown Arts Centre's Citadel 28 Gallery. First performed in Greece, it brought together approximately 40 performers, all but six from the local area. Krima premiered in Toronto at the Young Centre for the Performing Arts in The Distillery District where Heppner set her work on approx 100 Toronto performers.
The final project took place in the spring of 2010 when the Hamilton Site-Specific Dance Festival staged an exciting dance event that included local and out of town performers in Hamilton's downtown core, taking in the AGH, Gore Park, James Street North, and other Hamilton areas. Sponsored by Dance Ontario and produced by Public Utility Performance and McMaster Centre for Dance Performance, the event utilized park spaces, galleries, sidewalks, loading docks, gardens, store windows, film projections and more.
Local community dance artists were Tanis MacArthur, Patrick Brennan, Rose Gowling, Ron Dejonkheere, Liz Bates, Grace Loney, Wendy Peng, The Blue Ladies & the Runaway Brides (Victoria Slager, Lauren Corindia), Heidi Ann Crocini, Defining Movement Dance (Josh Taylor, Josh Court), Beekaa Abraham, Emanuela Dussin, Tor Lukasik-Foss, Zubair, Belly Flow (Alecia May), Stylordz (Trx), Inner City Dance (Irina Aoucheva), Art's Equity Initiative (AEI) - Nea Reid, Olga Barrios, Freedom Studios (Christena Hampson-Covello), as well as Toronto professional companies, AX-S Dance (Kate Nankervis) and The Parahumans (Dave Wilson).
Dance Ontario recognizes and thanks the Ontario Trillium Foundation for its commitment to increasing access to dance across the province.
Dance Ontario's Community Dance Partnerships...building vibrant dance communities across the province!

The Coalition to Stop Gun Violence Wants to Stop Gun Ownership
Gun control groups claim to support the Second Amendment. "We don't want to take away anyone's guns," they routinely assert. "We just want sensible gun laws to keep guns away from criminals and mentally ill people." No matter how many times they say it, no matter how credulously or complicity the media accepts it, it's a lie. Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, Everytown for Gun Safety, Mayors Against Illegal Guns, the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence – they all want to disarm all Americans (save the police and other government agents). Every now and then, they just can't help themselves . . .
They let the mask slip.
The CSGV's Facebook post above links to a Washington Post article America has more guns in fewer hands than ever before. The piece claims that the number of gun owning households, down historically, remains steady. The survey highlighted pegs the number at 32 percent. Another survey mentioned puts that number significantly higher . . .
Naturally, gun-rights advocates tell a different story. They point to different polls, like Gallup, which show higher rates of gun ownership than the GSS. But even the most recent Gallup data paints a picture of fewer houses owning guns: 42 percent in October of last year, down from a high of 51 percent in 1993.
"Naturally?" Knee-jerk anti-gun journos…whatcha gonna do? In any case, to recap, Ladd Everitt's mob urges readers to "keep pushing with us." For what?
To reduce that number further! How low? What would be an "acceptable" rate of gun ownership in a country whose citizens have a natural, civil and Constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms? No one's ever asked Mr Everitt that question. [Note to Everitt: consider yourself asked.] But the smart money says all the way to zero.
Like I said, civilian disarmament.
NJ2AZ says:
curious just how large the "underreporting" bias is?
if someone surveyed me asking if i owned guns i wouldn't say yes
Wesley T. Hartman says:
This, a million times this. There is a correlation between increasing distrust of the government and "fewer" gun owning households.
guns? what guns? I dont have no stinken guns, evil nasty things… now GTFO or i shoot you.
Paul G says:
And the number of boating accidents resulting in loss of guns is on the rise.
Cincinnatus says:
…That's only anecdotal, since alleged gun owners may not be accurately be reporting such alleged incidents. Allegedly.
Trust in government is also on the decline.
Defens says:
Joe Huffman just did a nice analysis of this very bias over on his blog. He noted that the alleged decrease in households owning a gun corresponded nicely to an increase in those households reporting a "No Opinion" (or perhaps a "None of your damned business") response to that question. If you add the no opinion and yes answers together, that total has remained nearly constant – and well onto the +50% side – for many years.
Which would be the truth because I dont 😉
So, like convicted ex-FBI agent and Watergate burglar G.Gordon Liddy, you own no firearms, but your wife does?
JasonM says:
If someone "surveyed" me, I'd tell him to mind his own damn business and remove my contact information from his system.
Given that gun owners tend to have an independent streak, I suspect many others would do the same.
Mecha75 says:
Nope. I don't own "A" gun.
And that's no lie. I own a few guns 😀
In a two-decade period, the number cycles 20%. From a practical standpoint: is it even possible – much less, practical – that such numbers of firearms are being transferred privately among households in such a short period of time?
From what I can see, the only logical explanation is that people respond with varying degrees of truthfulness to such surveys, for various reasons. It is simply implausible that 20% of US households divest themselves of all firearms over a ten-year span, and then 20% of US households acquire/re-acquire firearms over the next ten-year span – especially considering that this cycle has repeated itself continuously since about 1950.
Fishydude says:
These people want us to be a third world country like Mexico where only the corrupt and the criminal have guns. That is the inevitable result when only the government and criminals have guns.
They can't possibly believe that any law would keep guns away from criminals.
DickDanger says:
Does a bear sh%t in the woods?
So? His point is
I have some guns.
I live just west of Bonner Springs, Kansas.
I've no plans to change this.
gunnut says:
This is true America I guess, not stupid WP articles:
As far as surveys are concerned, "it has become increasingly difficult to contact potential respondents and to persuade them to participate. The percentage of households in a sample that are successfully interviewed – the response rate – has fallen dramatically. At Pew Research, the response rate of a typical telephone survey was 36% in 1997 and is just 9% today."
http://pjmedia.com/tatler/2012/09/30/we-are-the-91-only-9-of-americans-cooperate-with-pollsters/
So, the takeaway message is the harder you make it for law abiding citizens to own a gun, the fewer of us that do. As soon as you remove the roadblocks, ownership starts climbing right back up.
And that's why we have to fight them on even the small issues. Be warned, they're shifting from federal level assaults to state-by-state.
Well, even if Ladd Everitt doesn't succeed with his disarmament jihad, he can still pride himself one on thing: having, hands down, the douche-iest facial hair on planet Earth.
DrVino says:
" After completing his degree, he [Everitt] worked as a Research Associate with the U.S. €'Saudi Arabian Business Council in Washington, DC "
tdiinva says:
Ever wonder why CSGV focuses on guns and not gangs? It's because they are part of the Progressive hive and they see crime as the most effective tool for social control. Gangs are the allies not their enemies.
Definition of a Progressive: A person who believes with religious fervor in a 19th Century doctrine that failed in the 20th Century.
Gatha58 says:
The progressive line seems to be that the criminals are just misunderstood, bad childhood, grew up in the wrong part of town and so on. Not really their fault that they broke the law or killed someone. Therefore, it must be someone or something else's fault. Easy to say that guns, too many guns, etc. are the issue as that goes along with their way of looking at society. The problem is that their viewpoint ignores and therefore does nothing to correct the real issues.
But that's like blaming the guillotines for the French Reign of Terror, not Robespierre. Or blaming the soil and shovels in Cambodia, for the killing fields, NOT the Khmer Rouge. See how inane that is?
Yellow Devil says:
Yes. But I'm not a neo-Liberal Progressive so…
Another Robert says:
Just curious–has the CSGV ever, in fact, specifically claimed that they "support the 2nd Amendment" a' la Kelly-Giffords, or that they are "not anti-gun" a' la the action-deficient "moms"?
So lets get this straight, according to them they do not want to infringe on the second ammendment are completely ok with law abiding citizens owning guns and just want to keep the criminals and baddies from having access to guns right? But yet they are happy when their survey shows that fewer homes own guns and then call for people to keep up the good work? Huh?
Do they just not care anymore or have they really gotten so careless (or maybe bold?) that they are letting their true motives shine through?
Tom W. says:
What the he** is in this Kool-Aid they are drunk on? This ain't the old stuff. After even the MSM over the last 6 years has touted ever increasing gun sales by women, senior citizens, concerned Americans, preppies, etc,..The Annointed One being the best gun salesman ever, we have this opening stat?
I sure am glad I quit all that mind altering stuff in the 80's, it's more fun to see delusional folks straight and sober.
DavidY says:
For the first part of its history the CSGV was the National Coalition to Ban Handguns. They just changed their name for political purposes. Like gun control becomes gun safety and common sense.
Dirk Diggler says:
oh look. . . .they are looking to hire a data clerk who will have access to donor records. . . . . 🙂
Dirk!
Haven't seen you in so long I wondered if Mrs.Diggler found your folder of Shannon pics on your computer…;)
How many gun owners with any common sense at all would respond yes to someone calling with a poll? Think that is the real reason this poll shows lower number of gun owners.
Kyle in CT says:
I've said it before and I'll say it again: these numbers are totally meaningless. Put aside the obvious underreporting bias (notice a trend in the reported levels of trust in government? http://www.people-press.org/2014/11/13/public-trust-in-government/ ), but if you pull at the numbers a little bit you see how shaky they are. According to the GSS between 2000 and 2001 3% more Americans went out and bought a gun. Really? So there were 10 million NEW gun owners in a year? And two years later these owners apparently decided to get rid of them, since the percentage owning a gun dropped back down. And if these numbers are so solid, why does Gallup show a completely different trend (i.e. essentially flat over time http://www.people-press.org/2013/03/12/section-3-gun-ownership-trends-and-demographics/ ) with gun ownership sitting right around 43% of households and 30% of people surveyed. SURVEYS ARE USELESS DATASETS for almost everything, and doubly so when it involves people telling a random person on the phone about the stuff you own.
Grindstone says:
So between October and now, 300,000 people ditched their guns (or had boating accidents)?
Daniel Silverman says:
Ok I have to ask for RF.
Does anyone have the specific questions and data collection techniques?
This makes a huge difference for the studies validity. I tend to agree with others here. If someone called me for a survey and asked if I owned a firearm, my first response would be no.
The only gun I admit to owning is a chinese pardner pump shotgun. Nobody's damn business…
Buffalo Bob says:
This could be a good thing for us if they actually believe that. Most gun owners know better than to admit gun ownership unless by necessity. Honestly my grandmother is the only person i know that does not have multiple firearms in their home.
I sold all of mine.. im a born again passafist, and I trust the authority's and gawd to protect my family.
WILDWEST42 says:
The week before elections 2014 I answered one of those polling calls. There were about 30 questions, it took about 20 minutes. There were questions about everything from what kind of furnace did we have (gas, electric or other) to political policy questions regarding social issues (same gendered unions to be specific). And I gave my 100% honest opinions on every question until. "Do you have any firearms in your home?" Now, I'm not really the trusting type. If they had asked how many flat screen TV's or how many electronic devices we have that connect to the internet I probably wouldn't trust them with the information. But the wording of the questions made this whole thing an obvious attempt to sway opinions to the left. First I asked if I had to answer that question. I had invested some time into this and did want my opinions tabulated. But they informed me that If I refused to answer the question my survey would be thrown out. So, I lied. Nope, no guns here. I am absolutely certain I am not alone in refusing to honestly answer that question.
EDWARD JAFFE says:
"America has more guns in fewer hands than ever before" — this is impossible and our side should make a bigger effort to disprove it — publicly. The numbers do not add up.
Firstly — NICS tells us that US citizens purchased over 200M guns just since the late 1990's. In order for their [CSGV] concept to plausible — a few million people would have had to purchase tens of thousands of dollars worth of guns. As gun ownership tends to be very low in affluent cities & suburbs — then you are looking at a HUGE expense for Main St America.
Phone surveys are usually a poor source of information generally and a very poor source of "hard" information. Many of us will not participate in intrusive surveys and I would NEVER tell some poll-taker that I was a gun owner. Considering that "gun ownership" *should* include FUDDS and everyone who has not disposed of firearms purchased by their ancestors — how could gun ownership DECLINE at all — while 20M guns were sold in 2013 alone? Guns are not a consumable. They can last forever and so should simply accumulate — unless large numbers of people "de-gun" their households.
That is not happening — but the consumers of theses MSM stories are not looking at NICS data and then referring back to the article. The "Journalists" that report these stories without looking at easily available data are simply spreading outright lies.
Ray Frisbey says:
Guns? There are no guns at my house….. there was this tragic outhouse fire a few years ago….. yup no guns at my house.
I expect that the number of gun owners to honestly answer this question about on par with the number of guys who report their penis size accurately.
I would never tell a stranger that I own any firearms.
Sian says:
More like fewer are willing to answer yes on a poll from a news organization.
Any gun store will tell you the makeup of their customers, and quite a lot of them will say they've been seeing a lot of new, and a lot of female faces.
The supposition that the number of gun owners is decreasing is simple wishful thinking from the left.
Davis Thompson says:
Two words: False negatives.
Three words: Tragic boating accidents.
This is anecdotal, but I've been a gun owner for 15+ years. The biggest challenge in suburban NYC was finding a place to shoot. In the last two years, three ranges have opened within a 40 minutes drive of my house. One of them already had to double capacity and all three are going gangbusters. Not sure how that is possible in an environment where gun ownership is going down. I suspect gun ownership reporting is going down.
Chris Mason says:
Here's another inconsistency in their arguments. They keep claiming that gun owners are "paranoid" and "anti-government" and "insurrectionists." So, since these statistics are based on surveys, if most gun owners really do fit that description, why would they honestly answer "yes" to the question of whether or not they own guns? Of course, I'm not trying to say that a gun owner who's skeptical of a survey like that automatically fits their asinine description, I'm merely saying that they're being inconsistent with their arguments and dishonestly ignoring explanations to the stats that they cite.
Something else that I noticed while reading the article:
"There's no question that gun rights groups like the NRA are winning the battle for hearts and minds on the issue. A December 2014 Pew Research Center poll showed that for the first time in two decades, there is more support among Americans for gun rights than gun control."
Funny how they fail to mention what he wrote there.
BlueBronco says:
Gun banners gonna ban.
teebonicus says:
Pure poppycock.
There is no evidence that any intentional gun owners are completely divesting themselves of their ownership, and statistics show a steady increase of women becoming first-time gun owners and permit holders, which points to a net INCREASE in individual gun ownership, not a decrease.
Which proves that CSGV's assertion is facially false.
smitch says:
Hay "MOMS" GO PISS UP A ROPE! You will NEVER get my guns!!!
Silver says:
Counting on a leftist to keep his fascism hidden is like counting on a rabid dog to keep his rabies hidden.
Never, ever, ever trust a leftist.
the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence wants to start a 2nd American Revolution sounds like to me.
In illinois, the number of gun owners went up by 78K in 1 year.

I personally don't own any firearms.

Boost your CMS system by using the synergies between CELUM and your Episerver CMS. Use the capabilities of the CELUM solutions to manage the media lifecycle starting from production, collaboration, distribution, update, publication and de-publication.
CMS editors can use CELUM as the central repository for all digital assets that are part of the company's website, using the broad range of functionalities that CELUM software offers to automate a wide array of asset related tasks. Thus, CELUM as central repository for Episerver works as single source of truth and increases workflow efficiency.
To be able to deliver those benefits, the integration solution by CELUM offers support for the CMS editor in two different scenarios: automatic and transparent asset synchronization into Episerver and a manual, user driven selection and synchronization process.
The content editors, responsible for maintaining and organizing the assets, have the possibility to create a synchronized collection hierarchy in CELUM. This asset collection can be easily extended via a drag and drop functionality or by using a context menu entry. Synchronization into the Episerver CMS happens both regularly via a scheduled task and upon the occurrence of certain events. The synchronized assets are then transferred into the CMS system in a defined format and into a defined Episerver channel and folder.
This integration makes it possible to clearly separate the roles of the CMS editor and the asset/content editor, allowing for a smooth workflow. The transparent synchronization process from a central repository further increases maintainability of the system and decreases the effort of keeping the individual assets in the CMS system up to date.
Besides the automatic synchronization process, the CMS editor can also manually select and transfer assets from CELUM to Episerver. CELUM with all of its functionalities can be accessed directly from within Episerver, allowing for an efficient asset handling when creating or editing a page. The selected assets are transferred in a download format which the editor can choose inside CELUM. If the assets needs further editing, this can be done directly with the built-in Image Editor.
Being able to enter CELUM simply via a menu entry in Episerver CMS, editors can use the advantages of a central repository system for searching, selecting and editing assets directly from one system. The direct transfer from CELUM to Episerver in the specified format saves significant amounts of time for the CMS editor, allowing for efficient workflows.
How does CELUM work? Watch this demo video.

Prez Akufo-Addo Monopolised Private Jet At US$14,000 Per Hour From July Till Date – Ablakwa Alleges
The Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa is accusing President Akufo-Addo of monopolizing the blue and white luxury LX-DIO private jet since July.
The jet, which was used by the President on November 25 during his trip to Atlanta cost the Ghanaian taxpayer a whopping US$14,000 per hour, according to Okudzeto Ablakwa.
"It is instructive to note that since July, the blue & white luxury LX-DIO has not been available for others to lease due to Akufo-Addo's reckless monopolization at great cost to the Ghanaian taxpayer (in excess of GHS15million thus far).
"When a president decides in a combined effect to live as a Russian oligarch, a British aristocrat, and an Arabian King, he would certainly need to impose killer taxes to sustain his intemperance," he said in a Twitter post.
"What we need is a frugal government that cares and is accountable, not a haughty, insensitive, opaque, and intransigent one," he added.
This latest allegation follows two others made about the President's travel choices.
Earlier this year, Okudzeto Ablakwa stirred controversy when he alleged that President Akufo-Addo hired a private jet at the cost of ¢2.8 million on his travels to France, Belgium, and South Africa at the expense of tax-burned Ghanaians.
He later alleged that the President had once again chartered another luxurious aircraft on his recent foreign trips to the UK and Germany.
This was the blue and white LX-DIO private jet in June of this year.
He filed a question, and Parliament summoned Defence Minister, Dominic Nitiwul, to answer questions on the cost and why Ghana's own presidential jet was not used.
The Minister justified the president's decision to rent the aircraft, arguing that the capacity of the presidential aircraft can no longer carry the president's entourage.
He told the House that regarding the cost incurred on the trip, the Finance Minister is best to provide those details.
Not satisfied with this answer, Mr Ablakwa filed another question to summon the Finance Minister to speak to the cost.
Ken Ofori-Atta appeared before Parliament and noted that questions on the cost and travels of the president will be best answered by the National Security Ministry.
The National Security Minister is yet to provide information concerning the question asked.
However, some members of the Majority are of the opinion that the travel cost and other travel details of the President should be rendered top secret.
According to the Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of Parliament, Bryan Acheampong, the travel information which several Ministers are currently being tight-lipped on, should not be released into public domain.
He said doing so would fuel political gimmicks.

Luxury Concept Car: Rolls-Royce 103EX
Posted by Martin Maina May 16, 2021
8 Creative Ways To Customize Your Clothes
Rolls Royce Motors has for the longest time been the beacon of luxury yet distinctly modern cars. Nevertheless, the brand remains at the pinnacle, and to reinforce this claim, they released Rolls-Royce 103EX, a concept car. The vehicle is also called the Vision Next 100 Concept.
The launching of this innovative dream car was five years ago. It features a fully electric drivetrain, autonomous drive, and artificial intelligence. Also, the revered marque has been on a global tour since its unveiling in 2016. But now, the dream car is returning home to Goodwood. This is according to the British Automaker.
From now on, the concept car will remain on display at the brand's headquarters. It will be a symbol of Rolls-Royce's dedication to staying as the leader despite the auto industry's technical revolution in the last century. For more details on its performance, interior and exterior designs, read on.
The Powertrain Behind Rolls-Royce 103EX
This luxury concept car doesn't have a working powertrain, although Rolls-Royce hit about the future. It's unlikely to have a V-12 or any combustion engine. Instead, the Brits have plans to have all their models riding on electric motors.
So it's fair to assume they will borrow the electric technology from their parent company, BMW. Probably it will deliver higher output than the current V-12 units. Otherwise, it is still early to guess. But Rolls-Royce also mentioned, it will make its future chassis from advanced materials, and all models will keep the "magic carpet ride" trademark.
The Bespoke Design of Rolls-Royce 103EX
The design of Rolls-Royce 103EX addresses two questions: what is the client's expectation in the coming future? How does the brand envision meeting those demands? The Director of Designs, Giles Taylor of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, further explained. Rolls-Royce Vision Next 100 focuses on the future and dwells little on the past. The idea was to be as highly innovative as possible and transcend its historical design.
Besides, the designers followed four principles that epitomize the future of luxury cars. The four are Personal Vision, Effortless Journey, Grand Sanctuary, and Grand Arrival.
Interior Designs and Features
Among the principles, the Grand Sanctuary focuses on interior design. Its layout illustrates how passengers will experience a futuristic and handcrafted cocoon-like lounge. Also, the coach features a clamshell canopy and one door—these two closes to envelop the two occupants with utmost silence and luxury.
The automaker uses premium materials that give a feel of lightness and simplicity. Besides, it displays a spirit of effortless elegance. Its encircled cabin features modern handcrafted fine-line Macassar wood paneling sweeping across the interior, including the door. This continues even behind the generous OLED screen and up beside the side sofa of the second passenger. All these ensure a beautiful continuation of a clean and sculptural surface even if the screen is not there.
The cabin comes with a beautiful sofa clothed in opulent fabrics. It gives a floating impression thanks to the skillful use of lighting and modern materials. Likewise, it features the finest one-off ivory wool carpet, which was woven in London.
Another inclusion is the analog clock, which hovers around the central position. It serves as a reminder of the humble beginnings of Sir Henry Royce. The pioneer of making electrical dynamos and time is the ultimate luxury.
Exterior Designs and Features
The Grand Arrival is the principal illustrating exterior designs.
Arguably, 103 EX features one of the wildest crafted designs from Rolls-Royce. Every feature on the Vision Next 100 is as futuristic as it can get. But despite all, it remains recognizable as a Rolls-Royce vehicle. This is thanks to the spirit of ecstasy emblem, the pantheon grille, and the long bonnet. However, the concept behind this model has nothing in common with the brand's current design language.
What catches people's attention is the unconventional design, beginning with the front fenders. Others are the 28-inch wheels, making the dream car appear floating instead of sitting on its wheels. Incidentally, this feature comes from the 1920s models of Rolls-Royce.
The luxury concept car has a commanding appearance. Also, the car has massive wheels made from 65 pieces of aluminum, headlamps, and an enormous grille. This structure makes the car look boxy and awkward from the front. But from both sides, the concept seems cleaner and less futuristic.
However, the highlight and exciting feature of this Rolls-Royce is the fastback roof. It's entirely made of dark glass, starting from the windscreen to the decklid. It's hinged on the left side and opens up, allowing occupants enough room to stand while inside the cabin. Other features include the luggage compartment that opens automatically and presents two cases.
Apart from being an experimental concept car, the bespoke design of Rolls-Royce 103EX is a preview of what the automaker will offer in the future. Also, if you thought you could own one unit of this luxury concept car, you are wrong. According to the company, it might take at least 25 years to produce this kind of car.
Rolls-Royce believes future customers will base their expectations on existing exclusive cars. On top of that, vehicles from the brand will remain customizable, and customers will have access to more options.

A lot of our cooler growing orchids are really enjoying the winter with cool damp nights and the gentle sunshine that filters into the greenhouse at this time of year. This is especially true of our masdevallias that are in rapid leaf growth as well as many of them coming into flower.
A winter masdevallia highlight is this small growing species native to Peru. Masdevallia pandurilabia grows in cloud forest above 2600m altitude and loves it cool and moist with good air movement. Some species from similar habitats are a challenge to grow well in a greenhouse but this species seems to be a vigorous grower and as you can see from the photo on the left produces lovely glossy leaves too. We grow this species in baskets of bark and moss and give it a minimum of 10C.


NextBook, Cold Welcome, is in production and will be released in April, 2017. New new book (untiltled so far) is sitting just over 55,000 words and rocking along nicely, this first draft somewhat under half done. It's another Vatta book, following directly on Cold Welcome. The story for an anthology is started, but was derailed for quite a while by illness and partial recovery. When the new new book reaches 60,000 words (by the end of next week, I hope), I will put it in second place for the six weeks I will have left to finish the story. (A short story takes me as long as several chapters of a book because there's no momentum built up, and I can't let it run free. It has to stay short.) That's the writing part of the progress report. The prescribed rest has helped--after two months without being able to write, but concentrating on recovery, including getting enough sleep, the words came back into my head.
Recovery from hitting the wall is taking longer than I had hoped, but if you run yourself into a wall, it often does. The Lyme Disease (the tick that bit me shortly after I'd hit the wall) and its treatment slowed things down, and then weather (daily rain followed by an abrupt change to very hot, very humid weather when outside exercise was impossible and I still could not drive as far as a town with a mall) prevented re-conditioning. I went to WorldCon, tried to stay on my new, prescribed schedule, but it was still an exhausting trip. I have not sung with the choir since April and want very much to get back to it--but I have to be able to handle both the rehearsals (drive 50 miles into the city, rehearse, and drive 50 miles back at night) and the Sunday morning services. Planning to try making rehearsal next week, if nothing else goes wrong. My vision is slowly (fortunately very slowly) decreasing, too, in a way that nothing can be done about.
Knitting also had to go, when I couldn't knit even one needle without mistakes. I got back to it a few weeks after starting to write again, but this year's planned knitting is now impossible to achieve. I can't knit as fast (or write as fast) and if I skimp on sleep for any reason, I make stupid mistakes (lots!) in the knitting. But I'm knitting, more slowly, socks I like while I'm knitting them and once they're on my feet.
Because writing at the rate I was writing takes enough time that I can't get enough sleep, and therefore risk hitting the wall again (do not want to do that, and have all the words and ideas and joy in life evaporate from my head leaving me unable to do the things I love) I'm redesigning the rest of my life, with the understanding that plans made do not lead to what happens...necessarily. But still, if you want to get somewhere, you start in that direction and prepare for the detours and blockages and necessary rest stops and plan also to enjoy the detours as much as possible.
So: I can write if I don't push it too hard. I can have energy to spare for the other things I love--singing, knitting, cooking, gardening, work on the land, photography, etc.--if don't have commitments to meet deadlines that mean it's all I get to do. And if I can re-condition as the weather cools this fall, and be better prepared for the heat next summer. I'd like to go back and paint a few more pictures. Write some more poetry. Go on the Central Texas Yarn Crawl next year (can't this year: deadlines.) Sing the Mozart Requiem one more time. Spend more time actually with (not just in the same piece of land with) my husband, because you never know for sure how much time you've got left, and more time with friends, ditto. I was told about 20 years ago that I was pushing too hard and would wear out and should take better care, etc, etc....and I saw no alternative to what I was doing, which was whatever it took to keep us afloat and me sane. In local vernacular, "back your ears and pull that plough." Took awhile for the wearing out to happen, but it did, and now that is what has to be dealt with. So I am.
It sounds like you've got a good plan.
I hadn't realized we have more than SF and knitting and cooking in common -- you are a chorister as well! Alto or soprano?
Alto. Though my director insists I'm really a mezzo who just never had good training and was put in alto because I can sing that (and most of second soprano and used to hit high notes but thought it was a fluke.) I sing low alto when the altos split except when he moves me over to bolster a weaker first alto. Which I find scary, but kinda fun, too.
I think mezzos can find themselves in either section depending on their comfort level, or where the director needs more voices. I'm a mezzo who sings the low alto part when we split, but I can sing as high as the second sopranos (a bit screechily). I hope you can get back to singing in your choir soon!

Flying the Explorers Club Flag
Daniel Jones (right) arrives in Bonaire after 50 hours of flying from the United Kingdom. Jones is a recent inductee in the Explorers Club of New York and is carrying one of their flags on this NOAA signature expedition. This flag has been on expeditions since 1934.

Explorers Club Member Director
Project Serpent National Oceanography Centre
This expedition to Bonaire is a great example of modern exploration; we are using novel high-technology in remote areas for scientific discovery. As active field scientists and explorers, some of the team are also members of the prestigious Explorers Club , an international society dedicated to the advancement of field research and the ideal that it is vital to preserve the instinct to explore. Since its inception in 1904, the club's members have been responsible for an illustrious series of famous firsts: first to the North Pole, first to the South Pole, first to the summit of Mount Everest, first to the deepest point in the ocean, first to the surface of the moon.
When the Explorers Club committee heard of this expedition and its plans for mapping the uncharted deep waters around Bonaire, they thought it was an ideal choice for a "Flag expedition." Each year, the club members' most exciting and highest profile expeditions are given the Explorers Club flag to fly. The flag has a long history, having been carried on hundreds of expeditions since 1918. It has flown at both poles, from the highest peaks of the greatest mountain ranges, travelled to the depths of the ocean, to the lunar surface, and outer space. On this expedition, we will carry the flag inside the Gavia autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) when it is surveying the deepest parts of the ocean we will visit around Bonaire. Carrying the Explorers Club Flag on this exciting expedition to Bonaire is truly an honour.

Music Weekly: THE INVISIBLE MAN 2XLP, BLOOD ON HER NAME LP, & Distro Titles!
What you can't see can hurt you…..
We are thrilled to be bringing you two absolutely killer releases this week! First up we have Benjamin Wallfisch's score to Leigh Whannell's THE INVISIBLE MAN this week in partnership with our friends at Backlot Music. The film smashed the box office this past weekend and is one of the finest horror movies in a long time. The score by Ben Wallfisch is an absolute tour de force and highly recommended. We are super stoked to be working with both of these guys again.
Next, we are also excited to bring you Brooke & Will Blairs score to BLOOD ON HER NAME a Southern gothic-neo noir that drips with tension and dread. The film is one of my favourite films I saw on the festival circuit last year, and we couldn't be prouder to be releasing both digitally and on vinyl. To see if the film is playing near you check here.
We also have a couple of cool distributed titles this week. We have an exclusive colorway for the soundtrack to CRAWL from Rusted Wave Records, and SATANIC PANIC from Burning Witches.
As usual, new releases go on sale on Wednesdays at NOON (CT) via mondoshop.com.
THE INVISIBLE MAN - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack 2XLP. Music by Benjamin Wallfisch. Pressed on 2X 180 Gram Crystal Clear vinyl with an etching on side D. Housed in an acrylic screen printed slip-case. NOTE: THIS ITEM IS A PRE-ORDER. ALL ORDERS CONTAINING THIS ITEM WILL NOT SHIP UNTIL April 2020. Ships Worldwide. $35
Ben Wallfisch has delivered an incredible muscular score for The Invisible Man, Mixing classical strings, synths & Industrial noise it is both organic and synthetic, pummelling you one minute and barley there the next. Honestly, this hasn't left my headphones since we were sent it. Wallfisch expands on the sonics of his IT scores and while there are inspiration and nods to Bernard Herrman in the urgency of the string section it feels contemporary and timeless. An astounding achievement.
BLOOD ON HER NAME - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack LP. Music by Brooke Blair & Will Blair. Art by Sara Deck. Pressed on 180g blood soaked vinyl (Yellow and red) Limited to 600 copies. NOTE: THIS ITEM IS A PRE-ORDER. ALL ORDERS CONTAINING THIS ITEM WILL NOT SHIP UNTIL April 2020. Ships Worldwide. $25
What would you do if you accidentally killed someone? Death Waltz Recording Company invites you to ponder this with the haunting score to Matthew Pope & Don Thompson's film BLOOD ON HER NAME, composed by Brooke and Will Blair (GREEN ROOM, I DON'T FEEL AT HOME IN THIS WORLD ANYMORE). A unique Gothic-noir meditation on classic themes of honesty and tragedy, the film asks the audience how they would react after a fatal incident, and how far their conscience would allow them to go. Underlining this is a score that reaches into the dark pit of your stomach, where your feelings lie.
"BLOOD ON HER NAME is a score that is built around atmosphere and tension. In an almost Poe-like narrative, it pulsates and undulates; it's both incredibly unsettling and serene in its beauty, delving into the murkier sounds that you'd expect while also taking on strangely ethereal tones. But when you think you might be comfortable, it transforms into something jarring, capturing that biting doubt reaching up from inside you. The tension rackets up and something launches itself at you, forcing you to react on instinct without giving any mind to the consequences. And you will, there's no doubt about that." (Charlie Brigden - CritiqueFantastique.com)
DISTRIBUTED TITLES

A Troubles novel? Nobody wants that
Adrian McKinty: 'I think readers can sniff out authenticity. Before I'd been making stuff up but now I was telling the truth'

It was July 2011 and I was facing something of a crisis. I had missed the deadline for my new novel by six months and I still had no book. I'd been writing thrillers and mystery novels at a pace of a book a year for the previous eight years and now the well had run completely dry. I'd been teaching during the day and at night staring at a blank computer screen with bleary eyes.
Half a year of worsening writer's block and no pages at all.
And then one morning very late or very early I wrote: "The riot had taken on a beauty of its own now. Arcs of gasoline fire under the crescent moon. Crimson tracer in mystical parabolas. Phosphorescence from the barrels of plastic bullet guns. A distant yelling like that of men below decks in a torpedoed prison ship. The scarlet whoosh of Molotovs. Helicopters everywhere: their spotlights finding one another like lovers in the Afterlife."
I remembered the bombings and murder and racism and homophobia but I forgot that in the midst of tragedy Belfast has always used jet-black humour as its coping mechanism
When I woke up the next day I read the paragraph and liked it but I was immediately alarmed because I knew that this passage had taken place in Belfast. When my first novel had come out in 2003 it had been well reviewed and I'd been called in to pitch a TV show to the BBC. I'd offered them a Sweeney/ Starsky and Hutch-style crime drama set in Belfast during the '70s and had been told in no uncertain terms that this would not fly. A wise old owl at the Beeb advised me to avoid Northern Ireland as a subject matter at all costs because "nobody in Ireland wanted to think about the Troubles ever again, no one in England wanted to think about Northern Ireland ever again and the Americans still thought of Ireland in terms of The Quiet Man and wouldn't know what the hell I was talking about."
In 2003 the Irish crime fiction scene was on life support with maybe a dozen titles per year. I saw that the wise old owl was right. So, for the next eight years, I'd written about pretty much everywhere I'd ever been to in my life except Belfast.
Adrian McKinty: people were ready to hear about had really happened during Belfast's 30-year suicide attempt
Until now. Not only was this 2am paragraph Belfast but it was Belfast in 1981 right after Bobby Sands's death in the dark heart of the Troubles. I called the book The Cold Cold Ground and assumed my publishers weren't going to be too happy with a Troubles-era novel – but when everybody's telling you not to write about a certain subject it's almost certainly the subject you should be writing about. I sent the synopsis to my US publishers who promptly turned it down but fortunately my UK publishers said yes.
I grew up alienated from literary fiction, which I saw as a genre for and about upper-middle-class people. Consequently I've always wanted to use crime fiction as a vector for making art; in Cold Cold Ground I tried to do exactly that as well as discussing a lot of interesting themes, particularly race, religion, gender and sexuality. I set the book in the terrace where I was literally born and raised, in a working-class housing estate in Carrickfergus. I wanted a protagonist that would generate a lot of friction and fracture lines with the people of that street so I made him Catholic, a policeman, bohemian, middle-class and I gave him a Derry accent.
When the novel came out it not only got the best reviews of my career but it actually sold, which was a complete novelty. I'd always been well reviewed but no one had actually gone out and bought the bloody books. I think readers can sniff out authenticity. Before I'd been making stuff up but now I was telling the truth. Not what Werner Herzog calls the truth of accountants, but artistic and emotional truth. Thirty years had passed and people were ready to hear about had really happened during Belfast's 30-year suicide attempt from 1968-1998.
I thought The Cold Cold Ground was going to be only book I'd ever do on the Troubles so in the end I tried to say too much and I forgot things. I remembered the bombings and murder and racism and homophobia but I forgot that in the midst of tragedy Belfast has always used jet-black humour as its coping mechanism.
In the subsequent books in what became the Sean Duffy series I managed to wrangle the tone closer to the way it actually was back then. Chiaroscuro works because the darkness and light are in balance.
Rain Dogs begins in the winter of 1987. A young woman is found dead in Carrickfergus Castle just outside of Belfast. The woman is a reporter for the Financial Times who was allegedly depressed and suicidal. Rain Dogs starts as a conventional locked room mystery, becomes an almost meta reflection on locked room mysteries in general, detours to Finland and the "abortion special" overnight ferry to Liverpool before bringing it back to Belfast again.
Two men I met in real life – Jimmy Savile and Muhammad Ali – are catalysts for the book and both of them make an appearance in the novel.
Rain Dogs is the fifth book in the Sean Duffy series and by this stage I understand the characters well enough to let them tell their story through me. Duffy still lives in the house where I was born (113 Coronation Road, Carrickfergus) and he is still a man out of joint with his neighbours, '80s music, Thatcher, Reagan, the RUC, the Provos and the whole scene. The book won the Edgar Award which was a completely unexpected international breakthrough.
There is one more Sean Duffy novel after Rain Dogs, the economically titled Police At The Station And They Don't Look Friendly, but Rain Dogs works as a standalone and it ends on the kind of rickety transition that I love to see in novels and music. Happiness for Sean is out there, as it is for all of us, fleeting and frail, just a little snowdrop of light, but definitely there, burrowing out of the dark earth where it's been hiding all along.
Rain Dogs by Adrian McKinty is October's Irish Times Book Club pick. Ian Rankin, Brian McGilloway and Val McDermid will be contributing articles about McKinty throughout the month, along with an essay by a serving Catholic PSNI officer, which will be published anonymously as his life is still under threat from dissident paramilitaries. The series will culminate in a public interview with McKinty conducted by Irish Times Books Editor Martin Doyle in Belfast's Europa Hotel (Europe's most bombed etc) on Saturday, October 28th, at 1pm as part of the inaugural NOIRELAND International Crime Fiction Festival, which runs from October 27th-29th. The podcast of the interview will be available on October 30th.
