Reality Check: Trump's Tariffs & Canadian Retaliation

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — President Donald Trump's trade tariffs on Canada are sparking retaliation.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is promising comparable tariffs on the U.S.
"We are polite and reasonable," Trudeau said, "but we also will not be pushed around."
A furious Trump is calling Trudeau "dishonest and weak."
U.S. trade officials are going further.
"There's a special place in hell for any foreign leader that engages in bad faith diplomacy with Donald J. Trump," said Peter Navarro, a top Trump trade advisor.
The president cites national security for imposing a 25 percent tariff on Canadian steel, and 10 percent on aluminum.
Canada is reciprocating, and Minnesota iron ore is a target.
"There's great disappointment and regret," said Paul Connors, Canada's consul general for the Upper Midwest.
"We hope it doesn't come to that, but if the U.S. tariffs remain in effect, we will impose our tariffs on July 1," he said.
The Canadian tariffs target $264 million in Minnesota products headed to Canada, adding $35 million to the cost of exports.
What would be affected?
– Taconite and iron ore
– Minnesota-made lawnmowers,
– ATVs
– Adhesives
– even packaged foods, like yogurt
Minnesota trade experts say the Trump tariffs set a bad precedent.
"We should think very carefully about a situation in which we are retaliating against one of our closest neighbors and our best friends and longtime allies," said Dr. Robert Kudrle, of the Humphrey School of Public Policy.
Canada's Consul General said the tariffs are the last thing his country wants to impose on Minnesota businesses.
The U.S. actually has a trade surplus with Canada.
He is urging U.S. officials to focus on unfair trade practices, like steel dumping by China.

It has taken Suhrkamp Verlag almost 60 years to open offices in the city where Peter Suhrkamp first registered the company, namely Berlin. Suhrkamp had spent the Second World War years in the German capital acting as trustee for the rights of the Bermann Fischer publishing empire, as the latter had been forced into exile by the Nazis. Suhrkamp himself was thrown into a concentration camp by the Gestapo in 1944, but survived, if in frail health. In the post-War period Berlin was, however, not the place to be. It was in ruins, a divided city bereft of the vibrant culture of Weimar, and at the whim of the Four Powers. It was, essentially, the hard edge of the Cold War.
The small town of Bonn was the new German capital, but hardly any more attractive. So it was to Frankfurt that Suhrkamp looked when seeking a base for his new company in 1950, publishing the 30-odd authors who had stayed loyal to him after Fischer had returned. And Frankfurt was a good choice. It had a fast-emerging cultural scene, dominated by the presence of the Hessischer Rundfunk radio station, where the cultural desk had been set up by no less a light than Alfred Andersch, back from life as a POW in the United States, with regular broadcasts contributed by literary scholar Hans Mayer.
In this liberal climate, Suhrkamp flourished, not least because among his authors was Hermann Hesse, whose sales kept the company employees in bread and butter, as did the fact that Suhrkamp held the West German rights to Bertolt Brecht. Suhrkamp set about wooing the new young authors of the Gruppe 47, and in part succeeded, with both Günter Eich and Ingeborg Bachmann choosing the publisher.
titan of a man and an equally formidable publisher. He was also a fiercely competitive chess player with a keen sense of loyalty to his authors, a very broad horizon of literary interests and much business acumen. It was in fact Unseld who shaped the company that was to lay the core foundations of West German intellectual life from its base in Frankfurt's Lindenstrasse during the 1960s and 1970s. Surprising, perhaps, considering that neither Heinrich Böll nor Günter Grass were Suhrkamp authors.
Suhrkamp achieved this rise with the assistance of Walter Boehlich, the well-connected Chief Editor until 1968 (he quit over a typical Suhrkamp argument about whether authors should have co-determination rights), and Hans Magnus Enzensberger, the sharp philosophical mind with an equally sharp poetic pen, who made of the company a magnet for thinkers and writers alike – helped by the fact that the local university was home to the returned 'Frankfurt School' of Adorno and Horkheimer.
It was the typically Frankfurt and typically Suhrkamp mixture of politics and letters that characterized Edition Suhrkamp, the paperback series with the now legendary covers designed by Willy Fleckhaus that first hit bookshops in 1963. And two years later Enzensberger brought out the first issue of the famous kursbuch journal (it ran through 20 issues at Suhrkamp before going independent, or, as Unseld in his inimical style quipped 'A child has grown up and is now leaving its parental home. And?'). Only a few years later and suhrkamp taschenbuch brought good literature to the market cheaply, followed in 1973 by stw, the series that made good thinking likewise affordable. After all, it was at this time that sales of the works of Adorno and Benjamin were no doubt emulating those of Hesse and Brecht.
This was the vintage Suhrkamp era. In the 1970s and early 1980s Frankfurt was a hotbed of radical thinking (a sounding board for Joschka Fischer, among others), with Suhrkamp publishing both Jürgen Habermas and Peter Sloterdijk – contrasting foils who signify the breadth and depth of its list of thinkers. And they were equalled on the level of literature by a veritable powerhouse of socially-committed writing of the 1970s: Enzensberger, Peter Weiss, Max Frisch, Uwe Johnson, Martin Walser. If there was a social democracy in literature that did not go on the campaign trail, this was it, defining a new form of realism. Not to mention the Austrian faction, perhaps more avant-garde, of Peter Handke and Thomas Bernhard. They all famously met in Frankfurt at Unseld's villa at Klettenbergstrasse, where the debates went on deep into the night.
In the 1990s, Frankfurt was bypassed by the events that created the new Federal Republic of Germany. The city lost its sheen, and was known more as Bankfurt than as a cultural magnet, its star waning as that of Berlin ascended, with many artists leaving for the new capital, where rents were cheap and fortunes stood to be made. Likewise liberal thinking was just as much at home in the universities in the capital, and new literature was also starting to emerge there. It was in this situation that, in 2002, Siegfried Unseld died. The grand seigneur's wife Ulla Berkewicz-Unseld took over the helm, with a clear focus on new horizons for her company, no less clear-sighted and strongwilled than her husband; and she has been ably supported by Raimund Fellinger, who has lived through many a change in Lindenstrasse, as her editorial lieutenant, and Thomas Sparr, who won his spurs shaping Jüdischer Verlag, as her Managing Director. She found herself, so rumour has it, wooed by Oberbürgermeister Klaus Wowereit into relocating to Berlin. And that Suhrkamp has just done, setting up an interim house in Pappelallee until its permanent residence at Brüderstrasse in the Nicolaiviertel is ready.
Be that as it may, and irrespective of all the vitriolic attacks on Suhrkamp in the press for leaving Frankfurt, the move 'back' to Berlin was logical, given that the city had established itself as the new vibrant cultural capital. Moreover, new thinkers from a variety of disciplines, such as those around Ulrich Beck or Josef Reichholf, were not Frankfurt-based, but more international, with schools of thought now being established by email rather than presence in a lecture theatre. In addition, new heavyweight Suhrkamp writers such as Uwe Tellkamp focused more on the capital than on what is now rather the country's financial heart.
In all the controversy surrounding the move, what has been overlooked is that both Berlin and Frankfurt lost out, and the world of literature has won. For now everyone will enjoy the treasures formerly kept in the basement at Lindenstrasse and in various buildings around the old university campus in Frankfurt, which make up the Suhrkamp Archive. It includes the papers and manuscripts of Uwe Johnson, Max Frisch, and Thomas Bernhard, to name but three, and has been sold in its entirety to the German Literature Archive in Marbach, not far from Stuttgart. There, efforts are under way to make the reams of paper available to literary scholars as soon as possible, and thus keep them busy at their desks for years to come. But not the philosophers. For the Frankfurt School archives of Adorno, Horkheimer, Marcuse, Benjamin, and Habermas have remained faithful to the city from which critical theory took its name.
Time will tell whether Suhrkamp's move to the united republic's capital is more than symbolic. What is certain is that Berlin is now home to the publishing company that best epitomizes what German culture seeks to be, an admirable blend of Dichter and Denker.
lives in Frankfurt. A writer, translator and art critic, he is currently active on various book projects, concentrating mainly on issues relating to sustainability, infrastructure development, climate change and West Africa. His most recent book is A Manifesto for Sustainable Cities (Prestel).


Recent studies have shown that a negative perception of the patient's disease can lead to lower quality care for many disciplines. This was recently demonstrated in a study by Dr. Jeff Stone and colleagues from the University of Arizona at Phoenix. They included 151 study participants from gynecologic oncology associations and evaluated negative emotions and prejudices, as well as negative beliefs and stereotypes. Ovarian cancer was used as the neutral comparison disease. More often, participants associated cervical cancer with anger and frustration and ovarian cancer with empathy. They also showed implicit stereotyping with associated cervical cancer patients with risky behavior. When separated out, nurses were found to be largely the cause of this implicit bias. This has been shown in other literature and reinforces the need for evaluation into why specific groups have higher bias than others. It is also prudent to note that providers who have participated in cultural competency courses scored significantly lower on stereotype test scores than those who had not.
In a similar vein, the poor uptake of the HPV vaccine may be due to implicit bias, or the lack of effective recommendations from physicians, according to Dr. Caitlin Hansen and colleagues at the Yale School of Medicine. This bias was typically in the form of three types of cognitive bias including anchoring bias where the patient's age or pubertal status seems to be a deterrent to further discussion of the vaccine. Optimism bias relates to clinicians conveying a patient's low risk of HPV infection to allow for delaying the vaccine. The other form noted was present bias, that discussion of the vaccine would be uncomfortable with the parents in the room for an adolescent.
All of these forms of bias deserve further discussion with clinicians to discourage this behavior and potentially improve our vaccine rates as well as improving our patient care for this population.
Unconscious biases held by some clinicians about cervical cancer and the HPV vaccine could negatively impact quality of care and outcomes for patients, new research suggests.
"In the domain of healthcare, several studies show that providers hold negative implicit associations toward a variety of patient groups, and that these negative implicit associations relate to lower-quality care for patients," Jeff Stone, PhD, a psychologist at the University of Arizona in Phoenix, and colleagues noted in Gynecologic Oncology. They said they believe the study provides the first evidence that gynecologic oncology providers hold implicit biases related to cervical cancer, and the team urged interventions targeting specific groups to improve interactions with patients.
In related research, Stone and co-authors noted, one recent study suggested that some healthcare providers hold implicit negative attitudes toward patients with lung cancer, and another found that implicit racial bias toward African-American cancer patients was associated with lower quality of care.
"This evidence, along with some research in social psychology, suggests that healthcare professionals with stronger negative emotions and beliefs about women with cervical cancer may engage in less friendly interpersonal behavior or make treatment decisions that could be influenced by such emotions and beliefs," study co-author Katherine Wolsiefer, PhD, told the Reading Room via email, cautioning, however, that the evidence so far remains correlational only.
Past research has shown that in the general public, the belief is common that "women are to blame for their cervical cancer," because the disease is linked to sexual activity. Stone, Wolsiefer, and colleagues investigated whether this attitude was also prevalent among doctors and nurses.
The study included 151 participants (93 physicians and 58 nurses) recruited from professional gynecologic oncology associations. Participants took two Implicit Association Tests: one assessed negative emotions and prejudices, and the other assessed negative beliefs and stereotypes.
The tests consisted of word-association tasks in which respondents' reaction times and error rates were used to calculate how strongly the professionals associated particular characteristics and attributes with cervical or ovarian cancer patients. Ovarian cancer was chosen as the neutral comparator. Words such as "reckless," "liable," "sensible," and "justifiable" appeared on a screen, and participants had to quickly indicate whether they associated the words with "cervical cancer and anger" or "ovarian cancer and empathy."
The measure of bias generated by these tests is called a d-score. The more significantly this score differs from 0, the stronger the implicit bias. Overall, participants showed a significant level of implicit prejudice toward cervical cancer patients (mean score=0.17, SD=0.47, 95% CI 0.10-0.25), the investigators said. "Providers associated cervical cancer with emotions related to anger/frustration and ovarian cancer with empathy to a greater degree than the reverse."
Participants also showed significant levels of implicit stereotyping of cervical cancer patients (mean score=0.15, SD=0.42, 95% CI 0.80-0.21) -- "suggesting that providers more strongly associated cervical cancer with words related to risky health behavior, and ovarian cancer with words related to lower risk behavior," Stone's group said.
However, further analysis revealed it was largely the nurses, and not the doctors, who were responsible for these results. Nurses scored significantly higher than doctors on the prejudice test (0.32 vs 0.08, P<0.01) and the stereotyping test (0.32 vs 0.04, P<0.001), the results showed.
"In our study nurses expressed significantly greater prejudice and stereotyping of cervical cancer patients compared to physicians, which is consistent with the current literature, and suggests the need to understand why specific groups report higher implicit bias than others," the investigators said. "For example, nurses may have more extended contact with cervical cancer patients than physicians ... through negative contact, more experience caring for cervical cancer patients may engender more negative emotions and beliefs."
Another key finding in the research was that implicit bias and cultural competency training could mitigate prejudice and stereotyping. For example, stereotype test scores were significantly lower for participants with implicit bias training compared with those without (0.06 vs 0.21, P<0.05). In addition, "although providers with and without cultural competency training demonstrated significant implicit stereotypes, implicit stereotypes were stronger for providers who reported never having participated in such training," the investigators said.
Cultural competency and implicit bias training seminars are increasingly being offered by employers, Wolsiefer noted. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services also offers an online, self-directed cultural competency training course that counts towards continuing education for physicians, nurse practitioners, and nurses. "I can't personally speak to the effectiveness of any of these programs, but our lab is currently exploring whether and how training may be used to improve patient care," she said.
"Although it may be reasonable to assume that healthcare providers are particularly motivated to be egalitarian, they hold intergroup implicit biases similar to those of the general public ... The role of training in countering bias and improving patient care remains an open question," Wolsiefer continued. "Several lab groups, including our own, are currently conducting studies to better understand what types of training and/or strategies might be most effective for mitigating biases. That said, some evidence from social psychology suggests that slowing down and taking a moment to individuate the patient (i.e., consider the person as an individual) may be particularly helpful."
Uptake of the HPV vaccine remains poor. In 2017, less than half (49%) of adolescents were up to date with the multi-dose HPV vaccine series, which is much less than for other vaccines. A major barrier to better uptake is the lack of effective recommendations from clinicians, researchers led by Caitlin Hansen, MD, of the Yale School of Medicine in New Haven, Connecticut, wrote online in Health Communications.
"Studies have shown that the recommendations clinicians provide for the HPV vaccine frequently deviate from these best practices: the HPV vaccine is often presented as optional, not urgent, and less important than the other vaccines that are routinely recommended for adolescents," the team said. "One potential influence on clinicians' recommendations for the HPV vaccine that has been relatively unexplored is that of cognitive biases, or errors in judgment that result from 'mental shortcuts' used to make decisions under uncertainty."
Hansen's group conducted in-depth interviews with 32 clinicians -- primarily physicians trained in pediatrics and in private practice. They analyzed transcripts of these interviews for evidence of specific cognitive biases. "Interview questions were not designed to elicit information about cognitive bias from clinicians explicitly," the researchers said. "Rather, we used their descriptions of experiences to identify emergent topics related to biases."
Anchoring Bias: The study found many instances where an initial impression of a patient, such as age or pubertal status, were "anchored" by the clinician in the context of discussing HPV vaccination. For example, several clinicians reported they might deprioritize a discussion about HPV vaccination for patients who appeared to be "late bloomers" or socially immature adolescents. As one clinician said, "For the 13-year old who has never had her period ... and the parents are very squeamish about vaccines, I might focus on other issues that visit, and choose to bring it up at the next visit."
Optimism Bias: Clinicians often felt optimistic about a patient's low risk of HPV infection. The belief the patient would not be at risk until later in adolescence allowed them to delay recommending the vaccine. One clinician said, "I'm not gonna really push it unless they're going to college ... or if I'm suspicious that they're sexually active."
Present Bias: Clinicians often assumed that recommending the vaccine would lead to an uncomfortable discussion with parents about the sexual nature of the virus which could preclude discussions about other health issues. In other words, the anticipation of discomfort in the present moment weighed more heavily in their minds than the long-term consequences of the patient not being vaccinated. "I have a few patients that are religious ... sometimes I feel hesitant talking about these things, especially with the parents, like, 'What are you accusing my kid of being and doing?'" one physician said.
"These findings should prompt clinicians to examine their own assumptions and motivations behind their current HPV recommendations and can be used to develop interventions with greater likelihood of success in promoting higher vaccination coverage," Hansen and colleagues said.
Stone and co-authors were supported by the Gynecologic Oncology Research Fund, the St. Joseph's Foundation, and the Merck Company Foundation Alliance to Advance Patient-centered Cancer Care; none of the study authors reported conflicts of interest.
Hansen and co-authors were supported by the National Institutes of Health; no authors reported conflicts of interest.

Oprah Winfrey and The Color Purple
Posted May 31, 2012 November 15, 2016 admin
[By Kenton Rambsy]
Since her debut acting role in the 1985 Steven Spielberg
directed film, based on Alice Walker's 1983 novel, Oprah Winfrey's involvement
movie adaption of novels has been active. She has served as both an actress and
producer. Similar to her involvement with Morrison's works, Winfrey's has
demonstrated an extended connection to The
Color Purple.
On December 18, 1985, in a Los Angeles Times review of the movie, The Color Purple, Shelia Benson wrote, "In Oprah Winfrey's hands,
Sofia is indomitable and unforgettable." Oprah's portrayal of Sofia and the now
famous lines "You told Harpo to beat me" are etched in audiences' minds. Winfrey
would go on to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress
for her performance. Her involvement in the film coincided with the increase
her national visibility of her talk show, which gained national syndication in
1986—a year after the movie premiered.
The Color Purple is
aired on cable television networks across the country nearly every year,
sometimes on multiple occasions. In 2011, as part of the TNT "tear jerker"
movies series, The Color Purple aired
on the network 11 times.
On December 1, 2005, The
Color Purple received yet another incarnation and was adapted into a
Broadway musical. On the marquee and promotional materials for the musical, the
description read "Oprah Winfrey presents The Color Purple..A New Musical."
Winfrey funded the promotion and development of the play. Moreover, her
association with the musical helped lend credibility, linking the Oprah brand
to the play.

Songbirds possess a musical instrument more complex than anything found in an orchestra, a study has confirmed.
Known as the syrinx, it is the bird's version of the voice box or larynx in humans.
Scientists used 3D imaging to examine the structure, located where the windpipe forks into the lungs, in unparalleled detail.
They showed how muscles, cartilage and bone work together to allow birds to sing highly intricate songs even in flight.
The syrinx has two pairs of vocal cords, allowing songbirds to produce two different notes at the same time.
Songbirds routinely perform a feat equivalent to an orchestra musician playing two instruments at once while dancing.
Lead scientist Dr Coen Elemans, from the University of Southern Denmark, said: "We show how the syrinx is adapted for superfast trills and how it can be stabilized while the bird moves. Also we emphasize how several muscles may work together to control for example the pitch or volume of the sound produced."
There are striking similarities between the way young birds learn to sing and the way babies learn to speak, which intrigue experts.
"We know quite a bit about how the songbird brain codes and decodes songs and how young songbirds learn to imitate the songs of their adult fathers," said Dr Elemans.
"But we know very little about the instrument itself, the vocal organ called syrinx."
The research is published in the online journal BMC Biology.

'It's a big deal': Pinellas sheriff warns businesses to comply with COVID regulations
LARGO, Fla. - City and county leaders came together in Pinellas County on Thursday to stress the importance of businesses following the local COVID ordinance.
Sheriff Bob Gualtieri, who battled coronavirus himself, says his deputies and local police officers scoured the county for three days, looking for problem spots where COVID-19 could be spread.
Out of 2,800 locations, he said, 40% of the bars and 8% of restaurants were not in compliance with the ordinance.
Deputies found employees not wearing masks, customers standing at bars, crowds of people not social distancing, and even open dance floors -- all in violation of the ordinance.
"As someone who's had COVID, I can tell you: it's not fun. It's not the flu. It's very serious, it's very dangerous," he offered.
The sheriff showed off photos of what he said was non-compliance at bars and restaurants.
Gov. Ron DeSantis ordered that fines and penalties can no longer be applied to individuals, and while the sheriff says current ordinances do allow him to take action against non-compliant businesses, he doesn't want it to get to that point.
"If they force us to do it, then we'll start taking action," he warned. "We can't keep going down this path. We don't want to get back to where we were in June where we saw 15%, 16% positivity. Where the health care system was overloaded. We're really trying to be pre-emptive and proactive."
Deputies will be distributing signs reminding everyone what the rules are, then conducting more checks.
"It's a big deal," he added. "We want to make sure we can take this to the finish line."

Iridium abundance maxima at the latest Ordovician mass extinction horizon, Yangtze Basin, China:Terrestrial or extraterrestrial?
Geology (1992) 20 (1): 39-42.
Neutron activation analyses of the Chinese Ordovician/Silurian (O/S) boundary sections at two distant localities in the Yangtze Basin, spanning the horizon of a major latest Ordovician global extinction event, show the maxima of iridium abundances to be coincident with the extinction horizon at the base of the graptolite Glyptograptus persculptus zone. The 0.23 ppb Ir maximum in the Yichang type section is almost as large as the late Eocene impact Ir anomaly. However, we have observed that the Ir abundances in the Chinese sections are closely correlated with the sedimentation rates, and we therefore have concluded that the Ir maxima do not indicate a cataclysmic extraterrestrial impact at this extinction level.

A company has created a hot sauce so extreme that it mimics a spider's bite and can cause muscle spasms. Obviously.
There's now a hot sauce that is so…hot, that it mimics a spider's bite. Is a spider's bite hot? I've got no idea. In the eternal quest to harm ourselves through heat (why else would anyone ever order Extra Hot at Nandos?) a company called Venomtech - which definitely sounds like something a villain would work for in a superhero film - is behind the technology, made by Steve's Scientific Sauce (seriously Steve, up your name game if you're working with Venomtech ffs).
Scientific Steve's Venom Chilli Sauce (OK, better) mimics the effects of the Trinidad Chevron tarantula's bite, which apparently gives victims 'muscle spasms and burning pain', so why wouldn't you want a dose of it on your oyster?
In the biggest relief so far, the sauce uses a synthetic venom, and no deadly spiders have been….milked(?) to create this sauce.
So there you go, if this isn't enough of a hit for you, why not book a trip to the Amazon, get naked, and hope for the best? Or better yet, cut your foot and wade into shark infested waters, for that real 'shark bite' feel we all crave when our food just isn't spicy enough.
If you've read this article and you're thinking 'Yes please! I'd like to try that!' - firstly, are you mad? But secondly, you can buy it HERE for just £6.50. Happy spasming!


Experience the bliss of Divine Birth with these chants and songs. Snatam Kaur is joined here by her mother Prabhu Nam Kaur in creating this album as a meditation tool to deepen the blessing and divinity of pregnancy and parenthood.
The sacred teachings of the Kundalini Yoga tradition as taught by Yogi Bhajan contain a wealth of technology for tapping into the energy of the universe to manifest beauty and grace in your life. Snatam Kaur with her mother recorded these beautiful mantras, shabads and songs to be used during pregnancy as a tool to bring divinity to your child during the precious time in the womb as well as to share with your child after they come into the world.
On the first track, Snatam Kaur sings is a beautiful musical version of the Shabad Pootaa Mataa Kee Aasees. Yogi Bhajan taught mothers to repeat this prayer for their child`s protection and blessing. Some mothers say it daily, and others repeat it 11, 56, or 108 times on their child`s birthdays. This Shabad is a blessing from the mother that her child may feel Divine.
On the second track, Prabhu Nam Kaur sings the Shabad Janmiaa Pooth . Yogi Bhajan recommended to recite this Shabad 11 times every day before the 120th day of pregnancy. He said it will attract a saintly soul. This Shabad teaches that this soul inside you is a gift from God and Guru, and truly is Divine. And for those that don`t have children, this is a beautiful meditation for all souls coming to this earth, that they may have the energy and frequency to bring us into harmony and divinity.
The fourth track is Snatam Kaur's amazing version of the Guru Ram Das Lullaby, a song that calls on the qualities of each of the ten Gurus of the Sikh faith to bestowed upon your child. It is a beautiful song to put your child to sleep at night.


Popeye's Aladdin & His Wonderful Lamp Premieres... again!
Footage from this classic, color Popeye film, released in 1939, was also used in the 1949 film Popeye's Premiere!
Famous Studios (the animation studio that succeeded Fleischer Studios), made what's known in the world of animation, as a 'cheater' film. In order to save money 'cheater' films mixed footage from an older film with new footage to create a film that gives the feeling (perhaps even the illusion) of an entirely new film. In Popeye's Premiere, film stars Popeye and Olive Oyl attend the red carpet opening of "new" motion picture entitled Aladdin's Lamp, a film created entirely by piecing together chunks of footage from the 1939 animated classic Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp.
Interestingly, the original 1939 film actually starts with Olive Oyl at the typewriter writing a screenplay about Aladdin and his lamp. "I'll have to decide who the actors will be," she muses thoughtfully, then quickly casts herself as the heroine and Popeye as the hero as the scene dissolves, carrying us into the world of Olive's screenplay.
At the end of Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp, Olive receives a devastating note from her bosses at "Surprise Pictures" informing her that her story of Aladdin is being "thrown out," and so is she! So, while Popeye's Premiere may have been created as a 'cheater' film, it actually completes the story launched in the 1939 version, and provides some vindication for Olive Oyl and her screenwriting talents.
If you haven't done so already, we hope you'll check out our Magic in Miami exhibit, where you can watch a short Popular Science film featuring the making of Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp (the first film completed in Fleischer Studio's then-new, state-of-art Miami studio space) and then watch the film itself in its entirety.

meet the artist Felipe Fagundes
Felipe Fagundes Biography
Felipe is a drummer and percussionist born in southern Brazil and based in Nice, South of France. His strong passion for music and drumming began at the age of 12 when he started a career as a child artist in 1994 playing alongside his two brothers, Diego and Marcos. With their band 'Chapa' they recorded four albums and spent 15 years touring around South America and Europe.
In 2009 Felipe moved to London-UK to receive formal education and was awarded a Higher Diploma in Drums from The Institute of Contemporary Music Performance and a first prize of the best drummer. Successively, he earned a Masters's degree (MMus) in Music Performance from Kingston University London. During 7 years in the UK, Felipe performed with several artists from all over the world and started to teach. It was the moment he understood more about his real purpose… to teach his passion, drums, and percussion!
Following this idea, Felipe created cajonmaster.com where he offers online education for Cajon players of all levels.
"CajonMaster is a project I've always dreamed of and now I have the possibility to share my passion and my knowledge about this fantastic instrument."

Ohio River Corridor, LLC has experience in all aspects of commercial real estate including acquisition, disposition and development of office, retail and industrial projects.
Our lead agent, Bryce Custer, has been an active real estate investor for over two decades and understands the challenges facing both buyers and sellers in sale and lease transactions. Utilizing his career experiences, Bryce works to discover critical success factors to develop solutions that meet the needs of both parties. Bryce and the Ohio River Corridor have a great selection of properties available.
Ohio River Corridor, LLC can help industrial clients seeking properties with available or planned rail services. We can also help clients in need of barge transportation of raw materials and finished product.
The corridor contains a great deal of land suitable for permanent development and for temporary and laydown uses during construction. There is flat land available, with a few parcels of up to 1,000 acres for building in these early stages of development. But we are also adept at assisting organizations open to a "Hi-Low" or "Tiered" approach to their facility construction which does not require near the flat acreage traditionally expected for development.
The corridor also has available land for traditional office and retail space for corporate headquarters, regional offices, convenience stores, gas stations, restaurants, hotels and more.
We're a CCIM Certified Commercial Investment Member designee and use the program's tools and strategies to help those looking to make sound, practical investments along the corridor. CCIM designees can help clients minimize their risk, enhance their credibility, make informed decisions and most importantly, close more deals. That's because CCIM designees average 42% more transactions annually than a typical brokerage specialist.
We also have relationships with all the key stakeholders including local, regional and state development offices, port authorities, departments of Transportation, and the appropriate public-private development organizations in the tri-state region.
Ohio River Corridor, LLC is also affiliated with the NAI Global Network, which provides access to over 7,000 commercial market leaders from over 400 offices worldwide. We're also members of the Society of Industrial and Office Realtors that provides us access to the top 3,100 commercial real estate professionals across the country and around the world.

When I started getting serious about writing, the thought of having my work critiqued sounded about as fun as driving a nail through my tongue while doing the Maquerena. But, anyone pursuing publication knows that the path to seeing your book in print is lined with many suggestions for improvement. I knew I had a lot to learn, so I signed up for a class on novel writing, read my work aloud, squeezed my eyes shut and went into the brace-for-impact position (In my head. I'm not that mental.) and listened to what my instructor and classmates had to say.
My first critique group formed in an introduction to novel writing class, and I have to say, I got pretty lucky. The six of us all started at similar levels – some ahead of others as far as skills, but all of us working on our first novels. We've meshed together very well, and until recently, when one member decided to drop out due to a pregnancy and wanting to put writing aside for a bit, we've stuck together over three years now. My second group formed at a writers' conference – a group of us really hit it off and were again in the same place – all unpublished but with great drive to improve our craft and become published. My first group gets together every two weeks, my second group is done via an online forum where we post and critique monthly. Coincidentally, both groups have 6 members – a pretty ideal size: enough that you get a good amount of feedback, but not so much that you are overwhelmed – both by feedback received and feedback that must be given.
There are other places to find critique partners. I love AbsoluteWrite.com, a forum for writers of all skill levels, from multi-published authors to newbies. I've gone here for help from seasoned veterans of the field on some of my work. On this site, as well as a few others, you can find beta readers and critique partners.
I advise getting to know your potential critique partners before forming a group. Get to know their writing style, how they critique, what they hope to get out of writing. It's important that everyone is committed to a regular writing practice, to improving their craft, and to showing up to the meetings. But it's also important to be somewhat flexible with this – cracking the whip too hard can lead to resentment and loss of members, while having no structure whatsoever can also result in a group falling apart. Agree in advance with your group or partner what expectations and guidelines you'd like to follow – don't assume that everyone has the same ideas as you do about how to go about format, etc. You might be on different time tables toward submission for publication, or – as is the case with some of my critique partners – there may be a few for whom publication is not the end game. It helps if members of the group have similar goals, but it doesn't have to be a deal breaker if they don't. As long as you can understand and support each other in the goals you've each set, it can work. But regardless, surround yourself with talented writers who are capable of insightful feedback. A good critique group pushes your writing to higher and higher levels, and should never hold you back. That said – if you start to feel like your writers' group is not meeting your needs, it may be time to find a new one.
Before letting anyone critique your work, understand your own writing goals. Critique groups are meant for those who want to improve their craft. Are you looking for smiles and praise? Don't join a critique group. Instead, show your writing to friends and family – they are much more likely to give you the validation you seek. Do you really want to be published? Seek out critique partners who understand the industry and have studied the craft of writing. Work with people who have studied the craft – through classes, reference books and magazines, novels, conferences, etc. And study these things yourself. There's a lot of great information out there that can help you to become a better writer.
•Start with what works. We all need to know what we are doing well – not just for an ego boost (though we all need that from time to time), but so we don't end up scrapping what actually worked in our scenes.
•Don't feel like you HAVE to have a criticism. Too often we feel like we have to find something wrong. If you don't find anything wrong and think it works as is, say so.
•Be respectful. I'm a firm believer that even the toughest of messages can be delivered in a diplomatic way. You may feel like flinging a piece across the room in frustration, but avoid doing so. Remember that your writing partners, like you, have poured a lot of heart into their work and are trusting you with it. A group can fall apart rapidly when even one member turns nasty.
•Be very specific. Instead of saying you didn't like it, or it was boring, give concrete examples.
•If you are all working on novels, try to remember the scenes you've already read. This can be very hard to do, especially when you have been reading scenes from the same novel for months, or even years. If you can't remember something, ask. It will help you give feedback on the overall plotline, character development, etc.
•You will be tempted to write other people's books. I've gotten some great ideas from group brainstorms on my stuff. Some of our best moments have come from fantasizing directions for each other. But remember to respect what the writer is trying to accomplish, and realize your solution might lead the writer astray. (For example, the writer is intending a light-hearted comedy and you feel it would be better to have a deep, belly-gazing moment for the main character.) Try to point out the problem without pigeonholing the writer into a solution. If you do end up brainstorming together, don't insist that your way is the only way.
•Listen to what the others have to say. This is the most important thing to do. Try not to get defensive about your work. You can learn a lot by allowing your critique partners to discuss what they've read. Sometimes they will all agree, sometimes they'll argue. Sit back, listen, and take notes. When their discussion slows, then ask some questions to clarify why they might have had the reactions or thoughts that they did. No need to fight them on it or scramble to justify – just hear them out. If they don't get it, or if they saw something problematic, chances are other readers will too. I'll never forget a late night critique session at a conference where a writer stomped – yes, she actually stomped – out of a room when another writer started asking her questions about the overall character arc. She felt the main character didn't need to have an arc, because that wasn't real life. Hmmm. You won't progress much as a writer if you remain closed off to feedback.
•On that note, leave your ego at the door. Don't take things personally, remember this is all about pounding your work into its best possible form.
•Look for patterns – do your critique partners frequently call you out on certain things? For example, do you tend to write dialogue where every character sounds the same? Or forget to get inside the head of your POV character in crucial moments? Bury the reader in adjectives and adverbs?
•Know what you are looking for in a critique. Are you concerned that the story line is confusing, that your main character's motivations aren't clear, or that your dialogue is stilted? Ask your partners to comment on that specifically. Do you just want a general reaction? Let 'em rip.
•Let your work sit after getting your critique – don't immediately try to incorporate all of their suggestions. Allow time to give you some perspective and detach from the panic that can often strike after a critique session (the "Omigod I've done it all wrong and must fix it now!")(Or worse, the "screw them. They don't know what they're talking about.").
•Don't submit too early. Unless you really need help on direction, I advise submitting only work that you feel is reasonably polished (trust me, your writing group will thank you for that) and that you have some idea what your intentions are. That said, don't become so attached to what you've already written that you won't be open to a great idea generated in group.
•Remember that it is ultimately your work. You don't have to change anything you don't want to change. When you get to know your critique partners, you'll discover their strengths and weaknesses as both writers and critiquers. Keep this in mind when reviewing their comments. And if there is a consensus on anything – pay attention!
•Don't over workshop. Your fellow writers will feel compelled to find something to criticize. It's in our nature. There isn't a scene out there that couldn't be changed in some way. But know when you've reached the point that the critiques aren't making it better, they are just changing it.
My critique groups have been the source of much joy, a little pain, but mostly a lot of fun. What better way to spend time than with others who share your passion and want to help you reach your goals?
Great ideas. You are lucky to have found TWO wonderful critique groups.
I'm in one right now, and we meet monthly, which is a good frequency for me. Mostly a great motivation for me to have some pages done, but it's great to be able to count on their feedback as first readers.


Creating a paper template makes it much easier to cut vinyl flooring so that it fits into a room with irregular dimensions.
It's easier to cut vinyl flooring to the exact shape and size of your room when you make a template first. Staple sheets of paper felt to your subflooring and trim close to the wall. This line doesn't have to be exact. Transfer the contours of the wall onto the template using the inside of a square. Tape the template onto your new vinyl sheet goods and cut the true outline of the wall using the outside of the square. You should have a perfect fit.

I have come across end number of folks who work overtime to impress their relevant stakeholdres and leave no stone unturned to make their God (Boss) happy. In my early days in GE, once I was very unahppy with my Boss and I shared the same with one of my peer and said to him, buddy, "I disagree with him and he is not ready to listen to my point of view. Either he should convince me or get convinced".
He then turned to his desk, took out his diary and showed me a page where at the bottom a quote was written. He made me read the quote which said - "GOD IS GREAT, BOSS IS GREATER" . I agreed with him at that point in time, however, there was an angst which continued and evolved into an implicit and tacit determination resulting in a decision to FOCUS on Thy self - making my own self proud of doing what I am doing, setting my own performance benchmark and exceeding them, make sure that I am happy with my work...rest will fall in place. However, for majority of people their single minded focus remains to look good in their Boss eyes, and all their energies are directed towards and for them. May be for the right reason.
Ria was working in in a reputed organization as front line HR Manager and one fine day she went to her Manager and said, "Boss, I think I am underutilized, can you help me enhance my role". The boss was bit surprised to hear this and agreed to meet with her once he returns back from his travel.
Meanwhile, she also confided to Ryan (her coach) that despite her spending most of time in chit chatting with opreating managers, leaders and staff and sharing an excellent repo with most of the them, stake holders continue to escalate issues against her which make her boss feel unhappy. Also she felt that her peer group kept barging into her work space for no rhyme or reason. Hence was bewildered as to why there were escalations and how to make stake holders including her Boss happy while taking peers along.
Ryan, told her to share with him her objectives. Having gone through Ria's objectives, he told her "Looking at this document, it seems your plate is more than full. Let's pick up few of your key deliverable and review the status.
Ryan asked her, "was she meeting all the people who were anticipated to attrite? were people issues visible to Process Management so that they could be resolved? was she meeting her targets w.r.t. employee one on ones, were programmes launched in the unit running well?" and she did not have answers to any of this. Ria being front end HR resource, should have been thorough and should have this on her finger tips. It later transpired that Ria was primarily working on ad hoc tasks and issues and was not focusing on the objectives that were integral to her role.
It is imperative that at staff level, we focus on building our base and ensure that we are detail oriented. When it comes to HR engagement function most of us think that chit chatting with Business and building personal rapport is enough. It is indeed a matter of despondency that some of us prefer working at superficial level and do not understand the essence and importance of various programmes and practices which are formulated to address the requirement of Business and people who are supporting the business.
It is also imperative to understand the power of focusing our energy on right things and not getting unnecessarily worred about others trying to damage your reputation or doing you some harm. People choose to handle such situations in different ways. Some people love to blame others. however, it is nothing but waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with others, it will not change you. The only thing blame does is to keep the focus off you when you are looking for external reasons to explain your unhappiness or frustration.
Some of them would use their defense mechanism to safeguard themselves. However, most effective option would be to focus on yourself - how could I do it better, what improvement can I bring in self, could I have had handles the situation differently etc.. It is a known fact that positivity in thyself inculcates positivity in others.
We should be willing to demonstrate a culture of caring, sharing and going that extra mile to help others irrespective of their reaction or response. If you do something good and appreciate the deed of people who hold grudge against you, no matter, how deep is the grudge, over a period of time, the edifiice of grudge will start crumbling to an extent, if people have back-stabbed us in the past, they will certainly feel ashamed and fall in line, however we should not deflect from our key focus area.
Zo dil khoza aapna, mujhse bura na koi"
If this attitude becomes part of our life we will never falter. However, this needs excessive and obsessive focus on thyself.
I totally agree with this view. Its not what happened to us but what is happening around us and our reaction towards it that makes us ourselves.
This is exactly my perspective.....that look at yourself first and try to improve urself and rest will fall in place sooner or later.......Give your best and leave the rest!

Q: SQL Server 2008 cursor I need some help with a SQL Server cursor:
Declare @DCursor cursor, @OldIndividualID uniqueIdentifier,
        @NewIndividualID UniqueIdentifier, @NewUniqueColID uniqueIdentifier

Set @DCursor = Cursor For
     Select IndividualID From [MVCOmar2].[dbo].PrideMVCDriver
     Where UniqueColID='895AE0DE-D2CF-461E-ADA9-14FB8BB59640'
        Set @NewUniqueColID=NEWID()
Open @DCursor
Fetch Next From @DCursor Into @OldIndividualID
While (@@FETCH_STATUS = 0)
Begin
    Set @NewIndividualID=NEWID()
    INSERT INTO [MVCOmar2].[dbo].[PrideMVCCollisionDiagram] ([IndividualID], [ColDiagram],
       [dateEntered]      ,[OfficerID]      ,[UniqueColID]      ,[ESDEditDiagram])
    SELECT @NewIndividualID,[ColDiagram]      ,[dateEntered]      ,[OfficerID]      ,
        @NewUniqueColID      ,[ESDEditDiagram]
        FROM [MVCOmar2].[dbo].[PrideMVCCollisionDiagram]
       WHERE  [IndividualID]=@OldIndividualID;

    Fetch Next From @DCursor Into @OldIndividualID
End

Close @DCursor
Deallocate @DCursor

I have the above code and the Select statement works fine, it returns 2 rows, but for some odd reason the cursor isn't working meaning that the insert statement isn't inserting anything which doesn't make sense because the individual ids SHOULD exist. That select statement returns 2 individual ID so the insert statement SHOULD work but it isn't so I am not sure what to do...

A: I recommend that you not use a cursor for this. A simple insert based on a join will do:
DECLARE @NewCollisionDiagram TABLE (
   IndividualID uniqueidentifier,
   UniqueCOlID uniqueidentifier
);

INSERT MVCOmar2.dbo.PrideMVCCollisionDiagram (
   IndividualID,
   ColDiagram,
   dateEntered,
   OfficerID,
   UniqueColID,
   ESDEditDiagram
)
SELECT
   newid() NewIndividualID, //alias not needed but here for clarity
   CD.ColDiagram,
   CD.dateEntered,
   CD.OfficerID,
   newid() NewUniqueColID,
   CD.ESDEditDiagram
OUTPUT
   inserted.NewIndividualID,
   inserted.NewUniqueColID
INTO
   @NewCollisionDiagram
FROM
   MVCOmar2.dbo.PrideMVCCollisionDiagram CD
   INNER JOIN MVCOmar2.dbo.PrideMVCDriver D
      ON CD.IndividualID = D.IndividualID
WHERE
   D.UniqueColID = '895AE0DE-D2CF-461E-ADA9-14FB8BB59640';

Now, if you need to use the new NewIndividualID and NewUniqueColID values, you can get them from the @NewCollisionDiagram table. If you MUST use row-by-row processing (you are doing something like sending email or creating a table, which absolutely requires it) then you can do it only at the last second, on the table that has the final form of the data just before it must be row-by-row processed.
To try to solve the problem you're experiencing, I suggest you adjust the last INSERT statement above to be a simple SELECT, try your process, and see if the output is what you would expect. It is likely that your implicit JOIN logic in the cursor is not quite right.
I see potential inconsistencies in how you're selecting from the same table you're inserting to, and whether the IndividualID in the Driver table exists in the CollisionDiagram table already.

Q: How to check if at least one side of a clicked div (left or right) is free of other div's I have some div's that are 100x100px:

HTML code of the 3 blocks:

When I click a div, I add a class called ss which makes the clicked div/block yellow. I have this working with the following code:
 el.innerHTML = html.join('');
       $(el).find('.tile').click(function () {
       var clickedBlock = $(this);
       clickedBlock.addClass('ss');
 });

The problem is that I want to add the ss class ONLY to the blocks (div's) that I click and have at least one side (left or right) free. So that no other block is attached. In the case of the screenshot, the green blocks have one side clear, so these should be able to get te ss class when clicked. The red one has no free side, so no class should be added when I click it.
I've searched the internet for a solution and read some stuff about offset and typeof and figured I could use this. In short: click a block, get it's style left and top and check if there is any div around with the same style left -100 (for the left side) and +100 for the right side where top = 0. If there is, return true. If one side is true or both sides returns false (in that case no blocks are on the left and right), the block is "free" and the ss class needs to be added on the clicked block.
I have tried this code (with no success):
el.innerHTML = html.join('');
    $(el).find('.tile').click(function () {
        var clickedBlock = $(this);
        var offset = $(this).offset(); //get the top and left px

        if (typeof clickedBlock[offset.left-100][offset.top=clickedBlock.attr('top')] == 'true') { //check the left side
            if (typeof clickedBlock[offset.left+100][offset.top=clickedBlock.attr('top')] == 'false') { //check the right side
                clickedBlock.addClass('ss');
            }
        } else { //if left side is already false, it really doesn't matter if the right side is clear or not since 1 side needs to be clear
                clickedBlock.addClass('ss');
        }
});

My question: how to make this work? Is this the best approach to do this, or are there better ways? And if so, which ones?
Also the following option is also possible:

The HTML code for this one is:

Here the green and blue blocks are "free". So in this case we need to adapt the code to also check the divs with left-100 and top-50, left-100 and top+50, left+100 and top-50, left+100 and top+50. So 6 checks in total (3 for the left and 3 for the right)
So in conclusion: if (on click) one side is free (or both) add the ss class. I hope my question is clear and someone can help.
Kind regards

A: No offence, but I think your approach is lightyears from working. You are treating a jQuery object representing a single element as a multi-dimensional array somehow magically indexed by various offsets, and then applying typeof in hope of producing a boolean? It's very late here so apologies if I'm reading it all wrong though...
EDIT: I created a fiddle at http://jsfiddle.net/AcmLR/1/, where I have fixed a few mistakes and which seems to be working well. Code below is also updated.
Maybe try something like this:
var tiles = $('.tile');
tiles.click(function(){
  var me = $(this); //To save a few lookups
  /*Read out the top and left attributes, remove 'px' to
  get the numeric part and force them to be numbers using the + (not really needed)*/
  var myLeft = +me.css('left').replace('px', '');
  var myTop = +me.css('top').replace('px', '');
  var leftFree = true, rightFree = true; //Assume both sides are free to begin with
  tiles.not(me).each(function(){
    if(!leftFree && !rightFree){
      return; //No need processing any more boxes
    }
    var me = $(this); //To save a few lookups
    var left = +me.css('left').replace('px', '');
    var top = +me.css('top').replace('px', '');
    if(top < myTop-100 || top > myTop+100){
      return; //This box is completely above or below the clicked box
    }
    if(left == myLeft-100){
      leftFree = false;
      return;
    }
    if(left == myLeft+100){
      rightFree = false;
      return;
    }
  });
  if(leftFree || rightFree){
    me.addClass('ss'); //In this scope me still refers to the clicked box
  }
});

Depending on your exact requirements, whether the boxes may move or not etc, there may solutions that are more efficient or more compact.

A: In your example it seems like you could just say:
$('.tile').on({
    click : function () {
        if($(this).css('left') != '150px') {
            $(this).addClass('ss');
        }
    }
});

Since only divs in the middle would ever have that specific declaration you would always know that it's whatever was clicked was an outer div.
This works if your code is routinely this specific. If it's more dynamic and flowing (say a group of divs floated left) you could do something similar to what you posted above:
$('.tile').on({
    click : function () {
        var prevEleOffSet = $(this).prev('.tile').offset().left,
            nextEleOffSet = $(this).next('.tile').offset().left,
            thisEleOffSet = $(this).offset().left;

        if(prevEleOffSet > thisEleOffSet || nextEleOffSet < thisEleOffSet) {
            $(this).addClass('ss');
        }
    }
});

First, we check if the prev('.tile') of our clicked $('.tile') is farther left on the screen. If it is, we can assume it is on the row above. If it turns out the prev('.tile') is on the same row we check the next('.tile'). If it's not as far left as our clicked $('.tile') than we can assume it is on the next row down, and not right next to our clicked div.
If either of those statements are true we slap your class on, turn it yellow, and go about our business.
I hope that helps.

A: I will try something, but this may not work for all cases
1st - I would loop through all the div inside that box and collect "left" css value (Jquery offset or css) and store them into an array. But I don't collect them all, I just take an unique value. So 5 div with left of (50,50,150,200,200). I will collect only (50,150,200). (this can easily be done with a while loop).
2nd - check if the array length > 2 or not. if <=2 than every boxes can turn yellow.
3rd - if >2, than only the first and last value are values of boxes that can turn yellow
Again, this will ideally work when you have a single row, if you have more than 1 row, you have to check their alignment with each other...
That was my best shot @_o


Hope everyone out there has a wonderful day with family or friends. Or both. Be sure to catch the latest in the Hobbit Read-Along, titled "Happy Hobbit Thanksgiving," over at jubilare. It'll put a smile on your face!
Check out the link. I plan on participating and hopefully I'll be disciplined enough to read my daily seven pages. Evidently there will be a forum where readers can discuss the material covered each day. Learning and fellowship. Sounds good, no?
Oh God our Father, we would thank thee for all the bright things of life. Help us to see them, and to count them, and to remember them, that our lives may flow in ceaseless praise; for the sake of Jesus Christ our Lord.
Hello, Folks! Sorry I've been remiss on posting the last few days, but something has come up. Something good. Remember the book review I did on "Better Known as Johnny Appleseed?" Well, as a result of that review I've been recruited to do a bit of writing on another Johnny Appleseed book. It's not a long piece, but I am under a deadline. So, for the next week postings will be sparse. I apologize, but this is a great opportunity and I want to do the best job I can. I'll tell you all more when I can.
In other news, I'm still turning pages on that novel "The Darwin Conspiracy." I'm now on page 135 and I still am no closer to figuring out what the conspiracy is all about. Heck, I'm having trouble figuring out what this book is about.
There are three story-lines running along here. First, the adventure of Charles on the Beagle as he prepares to make history. Second, the investigation of Darwin's family life by Hugh and Beth, researchers from our own time. Third, excerpts from a diary kept by one of Darwin's daughters in the back of a financial ledger, which for some unknown reason no one has ever seen before. Yeah, right.
I don't know what is worse, the dialog between Hugh and Beth, postmodern caricatures or the incessant whining of dear old Charles. Talk about your dysfunctional family head. The only interesting and intelligent voice in this book is Darwin's daughter, Lizzie. Unfortunately, she doesn't get as much time as the others.
I don't know how much longer I can keep turning pages on this thing. If someone were to drop me a comment with the ending and spare me the labor of reading "The Darwin Conspiracy" to the conclusion, I would not be at all upset. So . . .
So, my wife and I are leaving for California in about 2 hours. We're going to see my mom for Mother's Day and also visit some dear friends. Then, on the way back to Arizona, we'll be taking a detour through Laughlin, Nevada for a little R & R. Love the buffets there!
Was wondering what I was going to read while relaxing by the pool in Laughlin, but while returning a book to the local library, I found a practically new paperback copy of Dean Koontz' "What the Night Knows" for a buck. Yes! One of my favorite authors and this is one of the best reviewed of his current works. God does provide.
In summary, for the next 5 days I won't be posting much. I may steal some time on our friends' computer but I can't promise. You can count on one thing, though. I WILL be reading.
