Freedom Rider: Russiagate and Democracy
Margaret Kimberley, BAR editor and senior columnist
"They can use Russophobia to silence the left, distract from the Democratic Party's payment for the Steele dossier, and whip up war propaganda all at the same time."
Hillary Clinton is the author of Russiagate. She created the scandal to cover up Clinton Foundation dealings with the Russian government. As Secretary of State she approved a deal shepherded by Bill Clinton that gave Russia control of 20% of America's uranium supply. The foundation received $145 million in pledged donations from persons associated with the Uranium One consortium and Bill Clinton personally received $500,000 to give a speech in Moscow after the deal was done. Because the revelation would have been problematic during her presidential campaign Clinton chose to project her own corruption onto her opponent Donald Trump.
The Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee paid $160,000 to British former spy Christopher Steele to dig up dirt on Donald Trump and his dealings with Russian nationals. Steele cultivated the press to help spread his unverifiable dossier as fact and was for a time also being paid by the FBI for his services. Throughout 2016 he leaked his story to the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN and the New Yorker among other outlets but lied to the FBI about doing so. The conflicts of interest are obvious but as Steele was in bed with the press the full story is unlikely to see the light of day.
"Mueller trotted out a rehash of a story first revealed by the Russian press about social media posts from the Internet Research Agency."
If anyone ought to be indicted Hillary Clinton and Christopher Steele certainly should. Instead, special counsel Robert Mueller carried out a meaningless indictment of thirteen Russian nationals. After a year-long investigation he trotted out a rehash of a story first revealed by the Russian press about social media posts from the Internet Research Agency. But Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein was forced to admit, "Now, there is no allegation in this indictment that any American was a knowing participant in this illegal activity. There is no allegation in the indictment that the charged conduct altered the outcome of the 2016 election."
The indicted individuals will obviously never set foot in the United States but that is the beauty of Mueller's actions. They can use Russophobia to silence the left, distract from the Democratic Party's payment for the Steele dossier, and whip up war propaganda all at the same time. It is an evil trifecta indeed.
The indictment also goes out of its way to mention Jill Stein and Bernie Sanders. Stein is punished for being on the left and for daring to run for the presidency. Sanders gets the side eye for daring to challenge Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primaries. Neither one of them is responsible for Donald Trump's victory. Of course an effective campaign and a fight against vote theft would have given Clinton the victory. She may in fact have been the winner. But that is precisely why Stein and Sanders are being dragged into the mess. The corrupt corporate Democrats are in dire need of scapegoats.
"They are in full attack mode against the Russian government and anyone who won't parrot their lies."
It is sad and terrifying to watch the reaction from media elites and Democratic politicians. They will allow no counter narrative to see the light of day. After all, they are the ones who made sure that any such questions were disappeared from public discourse. Now they are in full attack mode against the Russian government and anyone who won't parrot their lies.
At least one Democratic congressman, Jerrold Nadler of New York, makes the claim that Facebook posts are akin to the attack on Pearl Harbor. When his questioner pushed back he persisted in making the comparison. That can only mean that he and others think that an actual war against Russia is a reasonable course of action.
Democrats, their pundits and think tanks are doubling down. They are accusing Bernie Sanders of doing Russia's bidding, despite the fact that he was equally willing to blame that country for Trump's triumph. All of his post sheep dog genuflecting has done him little good. He endorsed Hillary Clinton and campaigned with her. He told his people to stand down and most of them did just that. He shouldn't have bothered though, because he is now getting the same treatment as Jill Stein.
"They are accusing Bernie Sanders of doing Russia's bidding, despite the fact that he was equally willing to blame that country for Trump's triumph."
The beat down of Sanders and Stein is a lot more troubling than mere blame shifting and finger pointing. The goal of vilifying them is to clear the field for a rightwing Democrat in 2020 and to silence all dissent. The Democrats are making sure there will be no voice for even the incremental and minimal reforms championed by Sanders. As for the Green Party, the Democrats intend to put them out of business altogether.
What they don't intend to do is give their voters anything that they need. They don't even help them to cast their ballots. Republicans schemes like Cross Check vote purges elicit not so much as a peep from the Democrats. Obama's past, current and future spokesman David Axelrod directly blamed Jill Stein for taking votes from Clinton in Michigan. Michigan also lost more than 400,000 votes due to Cross Check, but Axelrod says nothing about that. Facts are not the issue. Beating down the left most definitely is.
The Democratic Party had every opportunity to put together a winning strategy, even with their weak candidate. But they focused on treating Bernie Sanders like an irritant to be gotten rid of and not as the oracle whose popularity told them they were in trouble.
"Michigan also lost more than 400,000 votes due to Cross Check, but facts are not the issue."
Now the elite media are treating Sanders like a Putin-spawned pariah and making a mockery of his decision to sheep dog to Hillary and try to drag her over the finish line. Russian memes that labeled Hillary Clinton a demon were not far from wrong. The country is facing an unnecessary legal and political crisis which will end up putting Democrats in the loser column once again.
Democratic Party defenders are correct about one thing. No one knows where Mueller's investigation is headed or whom else will be indicted. But it is clear that the investigation is political and Trump is not the only target. Democracy itself is under attack. The right to speak out against and organize against the duopoly is under attack. The enemy of one's enemy is not necessarily a friend. The FBI isn't our friend and neither is the Democratic Party. They all want silence and acquiescence to whatever the system chooses to mete out. Mueller's end game will be bad news and not just for Trump. At the end of the day anyone who speaks out for true democracy, rule by the people, will also be in the cross hairs.

The son of two Members of Congress, George and Elizabeth Andrews, George W. Andrews III provides a unique look at the House of Representatives during one of the more turbulent periods in American history. Born and raised in the Deep South, Andrews discusses how he came to terms with divergent views on race relations—in his family, in the state of Alabama, and at the U.S. Capitol—in the civil rights era. In his series of interviews, Andrews offers a detailed description of the Alabama delegation, including his father's office, during the 1950s and 1960s. He also reveals the impact of a House career on Members and their families faced with a decision of uprooting their lives and moving to D.C., or remaining home and spending time apart. Andrews, who joined the Page program in 1961 to be closer to his father, recalls an institution fraught by deep divisions, but where collegiality among Members typically prevailed. Andrews witnessed firsthand many historic events, including the vote to expand the House Rules Committee in 1961 and the lying-in-state ceremony in the Rotunda for President John F. Kennedy in 1963. Andrews also shares his memories of House traditions like the Congressional Baseball Game and the culture and living quarters of the Congressional Hotel where many Members of the time lived during House sessions. Assigned to the Democratic Cloakroom, Andrews credits the often stressful and fast-paced environment of his Page service, as a key component to his later career as a high-profile criminal defense attorney. After the sudden death of his father in 1971, Andrews observed his mother's transformation from a grieving widow to a serious candidate, determined to fill out her husband's term to continue his legislative agenda. In his dual role as House Page and as the child of Members, Andrews provides a distinctive narrative that augments segments of House history with few written records.
George W. Andrews III was born on October 12, 1946, in Union Springs, Alabama, to George and Elizabeth Andrews. Andrews' father served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1944 until his death on December 25, 1971. His mother Elizabeth went on to win the special election to fill out the remainder of her husband's term during the 92nd Congress (1971–1973).
Andrews remained in Alabama for much of his childhood while his father served in the House. In 1961 he moved to Washington, D.C., to become a House Page. Assigned to the Democratic Cloakroom, he answered telephones and relayed messages to Members of Congress—an essential role in an era before pagers, computers, or cell phones. As a Page, and as the son of an influential Representative, Andrews interacted with Members of Congress on a daily basis. During his tenure, he worked his way up to "number one phone Page," a position he held for the majority of his service. In his leadership role in the cloakroom, Andrews oversaw an organized and carefully orchestrated messaging system which required on-the-spot decisions—some of which involved important communications between House Leaders, the Senate, Cabinet officials, and even Presidents. While employed by the House, Andrews attended the Capitol Page School, graduating in 1964.
After his Page service, Andrews attended Emory University in Atlanta, earning a B.A. in 1968. Three years later, he was awarded a J.D. from the University of Alabama. Andrews began his law career in the U.S. Navy, where he served in the Judge Advocate General's Corps until 1975. From 1975 to 1979, and from 1985 to 1989, Andrews was a chief prosecutor in the Jefferson County, Alabama, District Attorney's Office where he prosecuted many high-profile criminal cases. Andrews also worked in a private law practice and for a major legal firm in Alabama as a criminal litigator for both the prosecution and the defense. Currently a resident of Birmingham, Alabama, Andrews works part-time as a lawyer.

Topline Dosages and Information
Information and science 2017
HI FORM TOPLINE A NATURAL WAY TO ACHIEVE TOP LINE Product description: TopLine is excellent for horses with a poor appetite or in a rundown condition. TopLine DOES NOT contain whey powder, used in most muscle building products for humans and horses. Whey protein is the protein that is derived from whey, which is a by-product of the cheese made from cow's milk! Horses are herbivores, whey should not be fed to them. TopLine does NOT contain FISH products or other by-products which are totally unsuitable for herbivores!
Dose rates:
300kg pony: 10g (1 large level scoop)
500kg horse: 20g (2 large level scoops)
600+kg horse: 30g (3 large level scoops)
Feeding Instructions: Mix well into slightly damp feed. Tissue Salts re-establish balance Don't get mineral tissue salts confused with crude minerals. Biochemical tissue salts, or cell salts, are mineral salts that exist in the cells and play a critical role in cellular metabolism. The salts are administered clinically in very small doses and are prepared in a way similar to homeopathic remedies. Hi Form Australia uses these mineral salts in most of their formulas, along with specific, organic herbs and herb extracts, amino acids, vitamins and trace elements. Key Ingredients: EquiSoy, Siberian Ginseng, L -Arginine, L-Tyrosine, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Brewer's Yeast)
MINERAL TISSUE SALTS Tricalcium Phosphate Trimagnesium Phosphate Monopotassium Phosphate Potassium Chloride Sodium Sulphate Monosodium Phosphate Calcium Sulphate Iron Phosphate Zinc Sulphate VITAMINS Vitamin B3 (Niacin) Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid) Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) AMINO ACIDS Tyrosine Arginine
TopLine contains amino acids including L-Arginine which has a role in promoting the growth hormone and is involved in the immune response. The first amino acid is a major precursor of both thyroid and adrenal cortical hormones, (adrenaline, dopamine and noradrenaline) which also regulates blood pressure and improves both mental and physical performance. The second amino acid has a known and proven ability to promote growth hormone production. Muscle building is enhanced by its supplementation, and the stimulation of growth hormone improves immune response, allowing your horses' bodies to repair itself more effectively. In turn, the release of extra growth hormones can lead to the metabolism of stored fat and the building up and tone of muscle tissue. The Ginseng used in the TopLine helps to increase mental alertness. The several hormone-like substances in this herb are thought to account for its simultaneously sedative and stimulating effect on the central nervous system.

Conclusions Supplementing pregnant mares with Arg 21 days before EFD seemed to be safe and reduced gestation length. Additionally, supplemented mares were observed to have greater uterine arterial blood flow before, and on the days immediately after parturition. The sharp reduction in uterine arterial blood flow and diameter after parturition could be predicted as the mares transitioned from the pregnant to the nonpregnant state.

PMCID: PMC4308793 L-tyrosine improves neuroendocrine function in a mouse model of chronic stress Zhihua Wang,1 Jinghua Li,2 Zhiming Wang,3 Lingyan Xue,4 Yi Zhang,1 Yingjie Chen,5 Jun Su,6 and Zhongming Li5 Abstract Adult BALB/c mice, individually housed, were stimulated with nine different stressors, arranged randomly, for 4 continuous weeks to generate an animal model of chronic stress. In chronically stressed mice, spontaneous locomotor activity was significantly decreased, escape latency in the Morris water maze test was prolonged, serum levels of total thyrotropin and total triiodothyronine were significantly decreased, and dopamine and norepinephrine content in the pallium, hippocampus and hypothalamus were significantly reduced. All of these changes were suppressed, to varying degrees, by L-tyrosine supplementation. These findings indicate that the neuroendocrine network plays an important role in chronic stress, and that L-tyrosine supplementation has therapeutic effects.

Born 16th November 1916, Miroslav Sasek grew up in Prague. After finishing school he wanted to study to become a painter, but his parents were disapproving, so to appease them he decided to studied architecture instead. He did however study drawing and painting with Czech landscape artist Otakar Blažíček, and later in 1947 moved to Paris to study at the École des Beaux Arts. Just at the onset of his illustration career, prompted by the 1948 Czech coup, Mr Sasek decided not to return to his homeland and instead emigrate to Munich.
Whilst earning a living as a graphic artist in advertising and architecture, Mr Sasek paid a visit to Paris, where it suddenly dawned upon him that there were not any books written for children to learn about their city. So in 1957 he created a children's guide book to Paris, titled This is Paris. In doing so, he began what would become his life's work. Following the success of This is Paris he went on to produce books on London (1959), Rome (1960), New York (1960) and many others. In total Mr Sasek produced 18 books in the series, with plans of others including Bombay and Canada. Sadly, in 1980 he died while visiting his sister in Switzerland, leaving those plans unrealised.
The quality of the illustrations, and the success of the series earned Mr Sasek multiple awards over the years, including New York Times Best Illustrated Books of the Year (twice), Society of Illustrators Award for Excellence, and an entry in the International Board on Books for Young People Honour List.
Obviously the best place to see more of M. Sasek's work is by picking up one (or more) of his This Is… books, but you can also find further information on the Miroslav Sasek Foundation website, and this great little fan website.

Envisaged as part of the wider Woolwich masterplan, the Royal Borough of Greenwich set out key objectives to create a fully accessible public space for all, with feature lighting, soft landscaping and a water feature that could drain to accommodate events. The practice saw off almost 40 rivals from across the world to win the contract, with the work completing in 2011.
Gustafson Porter + Bowman's design is based on the concept that each square embodies an essential quality of Woolwich, whether historic or natural, and seeks to create spaces that are particular to Woolwich. The design used pedestrian movement studies to identify key routes through the town centre, and developed these to create distinctive quality public spaces that both enhance the experience of the pedestrian and respond to their needs.
Terracing is utilised to improve the usability of the steeply sloping squares, with level routes provided throughout to ensure accessibility for all users. A language of materials and details was developed that incorporated the best practice for seating, ramps, lighting and planting. Natural stone was chosen for its robustness and appearance, and its colours tied into the palette of the wider town centre. The robust detailing of the design has allowed the spaces to be well maintained by the council.
While the language of the project is modern, the design is sensitive to the historic fabric of Woolwich, especially its Grade II listed buildings which overlook each square which are re-established as key architectural features in the public realm. The soft landscaping addresses the shortage of green space by creating a 'Garden' that generates a sense of calm and relaxation while providing a functional space that can be transformed for other uses.
"Reasserting the importance of open and inclusive space, General Gordon Square illuminates the role of urban public places in establishing notions of normality and developing a sense of belonging, and provides a live example of convivial culture, in which we live together with all our ordinary differences.
A film by Esther Johnson · 2015 'Alone Together, the Social Life of Benches' illuminates the thoughts and memories of frequent users of two public spaces in London: General Gordon Square, Woolwich and St Helier Open Space, Sutton.


There are those little secrets that only designers know. The fun of planning a wardrobe in such a way that the sum of its parts are greater than the whole. Let's introduce you to Ms. Mix and Mr. Match. Since times long gone, smart women have been ensuring that they have at least a few pieces that can be worn with other pieces to create a totally new look! The result: Hey presto, more fashion for each buck you spend!
Plains are anything but plain!
You need to have some solid coloured pieces in your wardrobe. Black, ivory and a navy kurti can go with almost any kind of trousers and palazzos… keep teaming them with different pants to keep creating a new look, each time!
The same idea works with plain pants too! Just mix them up and flaunt a new look each time.
The checks provide the balances!
Geometricals are in. But that doesn't mean you need to look like a theorem. Mix and match carefully to create just that little bit of surprise. Too much of it and you'll get raised eyebrows, not peeks of admiration.
Match geometry with garden prints or solids or even abstract patterns. Look them in the eye, smile and swirl on! Leave them gaping.
These stripes need to be chosen, not earned!
If you're tall and slender go for the horizontal stripes —you can carry them off. If you're a little plump, try the thin vertical stripes to give an illusion of height. Either ways, stripes can be elegant and can be certainly teamed with not just solids but also with florals or checks to offer a bold and original fashion statement. The thumb rule is that both top and bottom can't be bold and attention-grabbing; choose for one that's subdued and let the other be dominant, visually speaking.
Prints are such a delightful addition to any wardrobe. They add colour, whimsy and an element of personality. A print on print combination works too but one small and the other larger is the way to go. Or even two small prints can work well together.
Prints work well with checks and stripes but go for quieter combinations so that the overall look is subtle rather than busy or cluttered. Prints and solids of course work very well together. Sometimes, a solid can be drawn from the print colours and sometimes it can be an opposite. You do know that opposites attract, right?
Choose your accessories to add a further dimension to your Mix and Match sets. They are great for accents and focused bursts of colour, regardless of the combinations you choose.
From a necklace or statement earrings to a deftly knotted stole, to a bag or shoes, each piece you add should take your look a bit further. It's called layering. Remember, even an umbrella can be a great accessory!
What are the other factors you need to keep in mind?
Choose appropriately for the season. An Indian summer would work better with a palette of cooler colours. Winter is when you can brighten up the skyline and burst into bloom! Monsoons definitely need a bright and cheerful accent to counter the gloom or incessant rain.
This can never be said too often. Look at your skin tone and choose accordingly. Yellows can make skin look sallow and baby pinks don't always suit the prettiest of us.
Office wear demands a certain formality in appearance and presentation, whereas casual meetings and evenings out need a look that can push the envelope further. Go for bold and vibrant colours for eveningwear and subtle colours and combinations for the office.
Personal preferences count for a lot here. Slimmer silhouettes typically can carry off tucking better. But it's really your confidence and the precise cut of a top or kurti that decides whether you should leave it flowing out or neatly tucked in.


Are Employees Covered By Natural Disasters?

A heavy equipment operator working at a landslide that came down Friday on Interstate 80 east of Baxter was rescued after being trapped today during a new slide.
The equipment operator was working at the upper area of the slide in an excavator when he was momentarily trapped by the debris and then pulled to safety, Gold Run California Highway Officer Robert Schmidt said.
In an instance like this, the worker is eligible to be covered under workers' compensation. He was simply doing his normal day-to-day job activity when the unforeseen unaccdient accured.
If you've been injured while on the job, make sure you know your rights. Many employees who are hurt through unforeseen & unpredicatble events are unaware that they are eligible for workers' compensation...and as we've seen far too many times, employers & insurance companies aren't always forthcoming in telling the employee all their options. They're looking out for their best interest...at the expense of the employee.

This pendant is the most detailed one of a series of unique works I created depicting variations of the Metatron's Cube and the Flower of Life.
I handcut these layers of sterling silver so that when put together, they form the Metatron's Cube. I then cut a layer of intricate flower of life design out of sterling silver. I cut them by hand using a tiny sawblade (no lasers!), and riveted them together with 9ct gold rivets.
It is double sided and can be worn either way around, depending on your mood.
This pendant is 5cm in diameter.

A 66-year-old Harwich native walks out of the woods, as, ahead of her, Barnstable Police Chief Paul MacDonald wheels out her belongings in a shopping cart.
HYANNIS – Stella came out of the woods next to Lopes Field using a walker. Barnstable Police Chief Paul MacDonald walked ahead of her, pushing a shopping cart loaded with Stella's belongings.
She was one of the homeless people displaced yesterday morning when police working with Barnstable Department of Public Works staff and county jail inmates cleared about a dozen illegal campsites in the woods behind Saint John Paul II High School off Old Colony Road in Hyannis.
As Stella waited for her daughter to load her belongings into a van, she told her story.
"It's not a place I thought I'd be," she said of the woods.
She says she grew up in Harwich and is 66 years old. She became homeless on July 1 when the 19th century Harwich home that was owned by her grandparents and then her parents was foreclosed on.
Her mother, Stella said, had gotten a reverse mortgage on the home. But after her mother died, Stella said she could not keep up with the payments.
A campsite in the woods just steps from the Saint John Paul II High School tennis courts.
"I was not able to save it," she said.
The foreclosure sent both Stella and her daughter to the streets. While Stella was living in a tent in the woods, her daughter was sleeping in a van with a former boyfriend, a native of Plymouth, who is also homeless.
The friend from Plymouth, who declined to give his name, said they have had trouble finding a place to park the van overnight. When they tried to park it at the rest area near exit 7 on Route 6, police told them to move along and suggested they park overnight in a supermarket parking lot.
Stella said she felt safer sleeping in the woods than next to strangers at the NOAH homeless shelter. She said she did not know where she would go next.
Paula Schnepp, coordinator of the Regional Network to Address Homelessness, was helping the police clear out the camps. She advised Stella to go to the nearby Barnstable Housing Authority to put her name on a list for an apartment. The fact that Stella is a senior citizen should give her priority, Schnepp said.
Used needles strewn on the ground near a campsite in Hyannis.
"Tell them, 'I just got kicked out of my camp and I need housing,'" Schnepp told Stella.
Neither Stella nor her daughter were aware of the housing authority and Schnepp attempted to give them directions to the office, a short walk from where Stella has been camping for two months.
State Representative Brian Mannal was also helping the police with the effort to clean out the camps yesterday. He went on a tour of homeless camps with police last week and wanted to help because he said he knew there would not be enough staff on hand to do the job.
Mannal said he believes there are hundreds of people living in the woods throughout the town of Barnstable.
"It creates a public safety risk particularly when you look around the campsites, you can find used dirty syringes almost everywhere," he said.
A Bobcat is loaded with trash cleared from homeless camps in the Hyannis woods.
He pointed out where people were living, used needles strewn around the ground, just steps from the school's tennis court and fields. One needle was taped to a pine tree, seemingly in reserve.
Most of the homeless had left the area in advance of yesterday morning's clean-up. Police Chief MacDonald said police had been given the people in the woods two weeks notice to leave the area and take their belongings.
"It's awful. It's awful. You've seen the conditions of these camps. No one should be living in these camps," MacDonald said.
But one man had not gotten the message and was in his tent in a clearing on a knoll near the school's tennis court.
A fire pit area was located steps from the tent. The smell of feces was in the air. Numerous needles littered the ground. Mannal pointed to detritus on the ground—a white plastic lid, an orange cap—that are part of the package that a local needle exchange program gives to addicts as part of a needle exchange kit. Mannal said it appears that the needle exchange program is encouraging addicts.
The man poked his head out of the tent.
Mannal told the man that police would be coming soon to clear out the area. The man lowered his head and hid it under a blanket, so he could not be seen.
This country has many homeless people and many more with no jobs and the country wants to take in refugees from the Middle East. Sad. Troubling.
Unfortunately if you qualify under refugee status in this country you are eligible for far more benefits than if you are a homeless/unemployed citizen, including housing, subsidies, educational assistance, stipends, food stamps etc. Why? Because not enough of us speak up for the homeless until we are in that position, and then we are discounted.
The State Rep says clean, uninfected needles encourage addiction?… I guess clean bathrooms encourage me to crap – which is what he appears to be full of.
I feel so bad people are being treated this way in our community. I wish I had the resourses to do more for them.. esp the old, the sick. Nd the children/teens on our streets. Im makes me very sad. Its how we treat the less fortunate that defines us. We can do better.We have to. Love is god.
My spelling is bad. But u get the point people. It takes our community as a whole to change this problem. I dont have the answers, but I think there are much smarter people in this town than me who could really help. Cops cant do it alone. They are deff trying. Hats off to them. Compassion and love will is the ONLY way to fix this. I hope every1 has a great day!
We need to stop comparing immigration and refugees veterans services with our other problems,one has nothing to do with the other we can and should address them all.They look to divide us while they take take take take,poor people aren't the thieves and moochers in our society.It's always politics before people,Mannal was pandering to his conservative Barnstable constituents.


Your purpose in life is much more important than what you might think… You were not put on this earth to strive to be better than other people, or have the best material objects that money can buy. These things are only momentarily satisfying and the pleasure is always short-lived.
In addition, your life is not for enduring struggle and pain, and the reason you do suffer is because of your negative thoughts. They have the power to leave you feeling dissatisfied and as though your life is not worth living – if you choose to let them.
In this state of consciousness you will begin to appreciate the world around you, acknowledging beauty in everything. You will also become a spectator of your thoughts and will no longer believe that you are your thoughts. This is a very powerful stage of spiritual growth; it's when you understand that you are in control of your thoughts and you have the power to think positively – through choice.
So, going back to the headline, what is this incredible thing that you were put on the earth to do? Well, it's simple – you are here to 'be'. To appreciate life in all its forms and feel good about living, realising that your mind is merely a tiny proportion of you.
You can live a hugely rewarding life, one that is filled with peace and love and beauty all around you. It's easy – become alive and just be!
Delightful, and so worth while!

make: Tesla
model: Model S
Exterior color: Blue Metallic
VIN: 5YJSA1H13EFP44953
2014 Tesla Model S 85
Introducing a 2014 Tesla Model S 85 in Metallic blue with black leather interior, clean carfax, one owner local bay area car.
The 2014 Tesla Model S is unmatched in its ability to combine efficiency, luxury, and sports car-like performance. Crowned the 2013 Motor Trend Car of the Year award, the Model S continues to impress during our long-term testing. The all-electric sedan is offered with varying powertrain levels. The base 60-kilowatt-hours model is rated at 302 hp and 317 lb-ft of torque, while its 60-kW-hrs lithium-ion battery pack provides an estimated 230 miles of range. The midlevel 85-kW-hrs model produces 362 hp and 325 lb-ft and travels about 300 miles on a single charge, while the top-of-the-line 85-kW-hrs Performance model is rated at 416 hp and 443 lb-ft.
While theres a handful of sedans as fast as the Tesla (and only a couple that are faster) none come close to its lighting reactions, we noted in a recent update. You can dispatch unsuspecting cars (some of them very powerful Audis and BMWs) with a violence that borders on cruel. Also notable is the sedans safety, having just earned a five-star overall score from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the highest mark available from the agency.
For model year 2014, the Tesla Model S gains a three-layer battery shield made of high-strength aluminum and titanium. The shield provides added protection for the battery pack and other powertrain components.

5 women who fought for your right to vote. Don't let them down.
I don't know about you, but I need to take a nap from this election season. There is so much hate, and rhetoric, and more hate coming from both sides that it makes some people I know say, "Forget it! I am not voting."
Honestly, who can blame them?
But, here's the thing, ladies: you can't sit this one out. Too many women fought long and hard for our right to vote. Susan B. Anthony would slap us across the face if she knew we have just thrown our hands up in the air and said, "Forget 'bout it." Okay, I don't know if she'd actually slap us, but I bet she'd want too.
Suffrage parade. Source: Wiki Commons
It wasn't that long ago that women were considered second class citizens; too feeble and inferior to men to be trusted with such a thing as voting. Oh, the horror.
After decades of fighting, all women in the United States were granted the right to vote in 1920 with the passage of the 19th Amendment. Exercising our right to change the course of history, not let someone else (men) choose it for us…now that's power.
I have voted in every Presidential election since I turned 18. It's not only my right, it's my privilege to vote.
Here are 5 women who changed the course of history by making history:
Victoria Woodhull was the first woman to run for President in 1872; 50 years before women won the right to vote. She ran against President Ulysses S. Grant. "Her platform included such progressive reforms as an eight-hour workday, women's suffrage and an end to the death penalty, and she rounded out the groundbreaking ticket by selecting abolitionist Frederick Douglass as her running mate (though apparently without his permission). " Source
Carrie Chapman Catt was one of the driving forces of the suffrage movement and founder of the League of Women Voters (1920). "If women could vote, she argued, they would become a force for world peace and would help improve the conditions of life for themselves and their children." Source
Alice Paul spent time in prison, was force-fed and sent to a psychopathic ward (because asking for the right to vote made her crazy, apparently). She was inspired by tactics used by British Suffragettes which could be labeled a hostile at times. She is quoted as saying, "There will never be a new world order until women are a part of it."
Jeannette Rankin was the first woman to be elected to Congress. She ran for a House seat from Montana in 1916, in which women gained the right to vote in 1914 (before much of the country). She was one of the few suffragists to be elected to Congress; and not once but twice: 65th (1917–1919), 77th (1941–1943). She was a pacifist, voting 'no' to the U.S. entering WWI & WWII. She fought for suffrage, heading committees in Congress and challenging her constituents on the subject. "You take people as far as they will go, not as far as you would like them to go." Speak truth, Jeannette.
In 1872 Susan B. Anthony and 16 other women demanded the right to register to vote in Rochester, New York. All the women were arrested and Anthony was tried for violating the 14th Amendment. She was found guilty and fined $100, which she refused to pay. The judge didn't dare send her to jail in fear of an appeal by the Supreme Court. This only fueled the suffrage movement. Anthony died never receiving her right to vote.
"There never will be complete equality until women themselves help to make laws and elect lawmakers." Susan B. Anthony
No matter who you cast your ballot for this election…just vote. For every woman who came before you and those who who come after.

The Headmaster's Wife
Thomas Christopher Greene, Stephen Hoye, Kevin T. Collins, Tavia Gilbert
Audible Studios on Brilliance
An immensely talented writer whose work has been described as incandescent (Kirkus) and poetic (Booklist), Thomas Christopher Greene pens a haunting and deeply affecting portrait of one couple at their best and worst. Inspired by a personal loss, Greene explores the way that tragedy and time assail one man's memories of his life and loves. Like his father before him, Arthur Winthrop is the Headmaster of Vermont's elite Lancaster School. It is the place he feels has given him his life, but is also the site of his undoing as events spiral out of his control. Found wandering naked in Central Park, he begins to tell his story to the police, but his memories collide into one another, and the true nature of things, a narrative of love, of marriage, of family and of a tragedy Arthur does not know how to address, emerges. Luminous and atmospheric, bringing to life the tight-knit enclave of a quintessential New England boarding school, the novel is part mystery, part love story and an exploration of the ties of place and family.The Headmaster's Wife stands as a moving elegy to the power of love as an antidote to grief.

Q: Downcast using C-style cast when knowing the concrete sub class type In my project I have a tree of QObjects with different types. Let me give you a simple example which should give you the idea of what I'm talking about. This could be an exemplary QObject tree (not an inheritance diagram but somewhat similar to a class diagram), where we start with the root object at the top and listing its child objects below:
                                   City
                                     |
                                  Street
                                 /      \
                            House       ...
                           /     \
                       Floor     ...
                       /   \
                   Room    ...

While a QObject tree does not necessarily follow this rule, in my case very class in the tree has a parent of one particular type. So, to stay at one relation as an example, a house can have some floors and children of other types, but a floor is a child of a house and only a house.
Now if I model these as QObject derived classes, the interface of class Floor should give me its House *house() by internally looking what the QObject::parent() is. I really know that this parent will be of type House*, because I designed it to be so and the programmer(s) stick to this design.
Is it ok if I C-style cast the QObject *parent() to House* to implement House *house() const?
Qt suggests to use qobject_cast<House*>(parent()), returning 0 if the QObject* parent() doesn't inherit from House, making the cast type-safe. But in release mode, I want to avoid such slow casts. I profiled one particular algorithm which is performing three times faster when doing C-style casts instead of qobject_casts. This is because qobject_cast asks the meta object about the type-info during runtime, resulting in considerable slowdowns when called very often.
So what I ended up with was:
House *Floor::house() const {
    Q_ASSERT(qobject_cast<House*>(parent()));
    return (House*)parent();
}

This will assert in debug mode that the parent really is a House, while just C-style-casting efficiently in release mode.
To come to the point: I know people will yell when C++ programmers do C-style casts, but will it be ok in this situation?
An alternative solution would be to store the parent pointers of the particular types additionally as member variables, but I think this is redundant and I also like that the tree is reflected in those methods returning the tree parents.

A: If you're sure that the ownership graph won't change, even during maintenance, then a cast that isn't type-checked is safe. You can use static_cast<House*>(parent()), which is fast, or, if you really want to, a C-style cast is okay. But the C-style cast is not faster than the C++ static_cast.

Лукаш Юткевич (; 28 марта 1989, Саутгемптон) — английский футболист, нападающий клуба «Бирмингем Сити».

Клубная карьера

«Суиндон Таун»
Лукаш Юткевич начал заниматься футболом в академии родного Саутгемптона, но в возрасте 14 лет перебрался в стан молодёжной команды «Суиндон Таун».
11 апреля 2006 года, спустя несколько дней после своего 17-летия, Юткевич дебютировал в основном составе «красных» в гостевой игре против «Суонси Сити». Вскоре после своего дебюта Юткевич подписал первый профессиональный контракт с «Суиндоном» сроком на 3 года. В сезоне 2006/07 Лукаш стал регулярно появляться в основе «Суиндона». 9 декабря 2006 года в победном матче с «Уолсоллом» (2:0) он забил свой первый гол в карьере, а через неделю записал на свой счет второй гол, поразив ворота «Бристоль Роверс» (2:1).

«Эвертон»
Уверенная игра юного форварда не осталась без внимания клубов Премьер-Лиги и 1 июля 2007 года за £1 млн. Юткевич был куплен «Эвертоном».
Поиграв полгода в резервной команде «ирисок», в январе 2008 года Юткевич на три месяца был отправлен в аренду в «Плимут Аргайл», но сыграл там лишь в 5 матчах. 28 декабря 2008 года Лукаш сыграл свой первый и единственный матч в составе «Эвертона», выйдя на замену на 86-й минуте вместо Тима Кэхилла в победной игре с «Сандерлендом» в рамках Премьер-Лиги. Через полтора месяца нападающий был отдан в аренду в «Хаддерсфилд Таун», но в 7 играх за «терьеров» отметиться голами не сумел.
26 августа 2009 года Юткевич отправился в полугодичную аренду в «Мазервелл». 3 октября 2009 года Лукаш открыл счёт своим голам в Шотландской Премьер-лиге, поразив ворота «Фалкирка» и принеся своей команде победу (1:0). К Новому году Юткевич забил ещё 7 мячей и вскоре «Мазервелл» продлил его аренду до конца сезона. 5 мая 2010 года нападающий принял участие в феерической игре с «Хибернианом», забив мяч в компенсированное время и таким образом сделав счет ничейным — 6:6. После игры наставник «Мазервелла» Крейг Браун сравнил гол Юткевича со знаменитым ударом Марко ван Бастена на Чемпионате Европы 1988 года.

«Ковентри Сити»
Несмотря на успешную игру Юткевича в «Мазервелле», руководство «Эвертона» приняло решение расстаться с ним. 26 июля 2010 года форвард перешёл в стан клуба Чемпионшипа «Ковентри Сити».
7 августа 2010 года Юткевич дебютировал за «Ковентри» в игре против «Портсмута», а уже в следующем матче с «Уотфордом» открыл счет своим голам за «небесно-голубых», реализовав на 90-й минуте пенальти и принеся своему клубу ничью (1:1). Через неделю Лукаш отличился в игре с «Дерби Каунти» (2:1), и снова с пенальти. С игры Юткевич забил только 6 ноября, во встрече с «Лидсом» (2:3). Всего по итогам сезона на счету Юткевича оказалось 9 мячей.

Сезон 2011/12 для «Ковентри» начался неудачно — команда вылетела из Кубка Лиги, осела на дне таблицы, однако Юткевич стабильно пополнял свой голевой счёт. Забитый 27 августа мяч в ворота «Мидлсбро» (1:1) стал для него отправной точкой на «Риверсайд». Незадолго до закрытия летнего трансферного окна менеджер «Боро» Тони Моубрей предложил за форварда £1 млн, но получил отказ и отложил вопрос приобретения футболиста до зимы. Сам же форвард продолжал забивать, записав к Новому году в свой актив 9 мячей.

«Мидлсбро»
14 января 2012 года после долгих переговоров руководителей «Ковентри» и «Боро» Лукаш Юткевич отправился в Мидлсбро для подписания контракта. Несмотря на то, что нападающий и клуб сумели уладить все детали сделки, «речники» пропустили крайний срок регистрации футболиста перед матчем и были вынуждены прибегнуть к экстренной аренде форварда, на что руководство Футбольной Лиги ответило положительно. В этот же день Лукаш дебютировал за «Мидлсбро» в домашнем матче против «Бёрнли», выйдя на замену на 57-й минуте при счете 0:2, и имел шанс отличиться, но попал в перекладину.
16 января Лукаш стал игроком «Мидлсбро» на постоянной основе, подписав контракт с клубом на 4,5 года, сумма сделки составила около £1,3 млн.
Дебютный мяч за «речников» Юткевич забил 8 февраля в ворота «Сандерленда» в переигровке 1/16 Кубка Англии на «Риверсайде».
14 февраля Юткевич забил первый гол за «Мидлсбро» в Чемпионшипе — его удар на 46-й минуте матча против «Ноттингем Форест» принес команде победу (2:1). Второй мяч в Лиге в футболке «Боро» Лукаш забил 27 марта, отличившись в игре против «Ипсвич Таун» (1:1).

Начало сезона 2012/13 Юткевич был вынужден пропустить из-за операции по очистке коленного сустава. Футболист вернулся на поле 15 сентября, выйдя на замену во встрече с «Ипсвичем». Уже через неделю, 21 сентября, Лукаш записал на свой счёт дубль в гостевом матче против «Блэкберн Роверс», принеся команде победу (2:1). 3 октября нападающий вновь отметился дублем, поразив ворота «Дерби Каунти», однако на этот раз «речники» сыграли вничью (2:2). 26 января 2013 года в матче Кубка Англии против «Олдершот Таун» Юткевич оформил третий дубль в сезоне, забив победный мяч на 95-й минуте (2:1).

Личная жизнь
Несмотря на то, что Лукаш родился в Англии и имеет английское гражданство, его мать — ирландка, а отец — поляк. Таким образом, он может представлять сборные 3 стран — Англии, Ирландии и Польши. Сам футболист пока не решил, за какую сборную он хочет выступать.

What Does A High End Camera Company Have To Do With Old Turn Signals?
Jason Torchinsky
Filed to: car historyFiled to: car history
car history
I'd like to think that, thanks to my efforts, Jalopnik provides more in-depth coverage of the rich and exciting world of automotive turn indication than anyone out there. Which is why I'm so excited to announce today I found an answer to a signal light question that's bothered me for years: what's the deal with that up arrow?
It's Totally Time For Customizers To Swap Blinkers For Trafficators
There's been lots of trends that spread around the car customizing communities like fiberglass …
I've noticed this detail on a number of pictures of (almost always) European cars from the mid-20s or so. The detail is what appears to be an add-on light, much like an accessory spot lamp. The light has on it a single arrow, pointing upwards.
This has baffled me for years. What the hell would an upward pointing arrow indicate? My best guess was that the arrow would light up when a pressure switch in the seat was released, indicating that the driver had been raptured away. That could be pretty handy for all of us doomed to be left, you know, behind.
That's not what it's for, though. It turns out, it's an early turn indicator. This struck me as odd, since I've only ever seen these installed singly, on one side of the car. I assumed that for turn indication, you'd need at least two arrow-lights.
Boy, did I assume wrong.
See, I was an ass. My thinking was crabbed, locked into what I thought I knew about electrically indicating turns, so I didn't even realize the real beauty of these lights: the arrow rotates to indicate the direction of the turn!
Using a pair of low-powered electro-magnets and an automatic activation system when the steering wheel is turned (!), the pivot-mounted arrow would rotate in the direction of the turn. Using electromagnets was more durable and reliable than a motor, and is a pretty elegant solution.
Brilliant, right? Well it gets even better. These indicators are known as the Contax Turn Signal. Those of you who manage to be camera geeks as well as automotive geeks may recognize that name from a series of cameras (starting in 1932), which were very advanced and used Zeiss lenses.
Zeiss Historica Spring 2008
Zeiss Historica Society Journal Spring 2008
This reuse of the name Contax is no coincidence — the Zeiss company built the turn indicators, and the Contax name was chosen for this product first, before it became the brand of a camera.
Zeiss ended up in the auto-accessory business because in post WWI Germany, companies had to do whatever they could to make money and stay afloat. Zeiss acquired the patents to the indicator from inventor Albert Ebner, and it proved to be a decent little side business, especially since high-end cameras weren't exactly flying off the shelf in a very economically troubled Germany.
Also interesting is the fact that the "Contax" name was picked from employee suggestions, which may be one of the first examples of a company using such a method to come up with a name. Oh, and the person who suggested the winning name received exactly one Reichsmark, which, if you were lucky, was enough for a down payment on a big pile of fresh nothing.
More exciting turn-indicator news to come!

Cleveland A to Z
John J. Grabowski and Lauren R. Pacini | Filed under: Black Squirrel Books, Forthcoming, History, Regional Interest
Cities around the globe, whether large or small, have characteristics that create a particular identity. So what about Cleveland? What are its nuances, its images? In addressing that question, <i>Cleveland A to Z </i>is not a typical city guide. Rather than concentrating solely on the usual topics—landmarks, restaurants, shopping, and notable facts—this guide touches on deeper themes related to Cleveland's people, places, stories, and events. These 72 short articles reveal details about the city's rich history, while also hinting at the issues, attitudes, and even the quirks that define Cleveland's character. <i>Cleveland A to Z </i>truly serves as an entry point for a fuller exploration of the city's history.
Blanton's Browns
Roger Gordon | Filed under: Black Squirrel Books, Recent Releases, Regional Interest, Sports
Two very exciting games in Cleveland Browns history—their upset of the Baltimore Colts in 1964 and the Monday Night Football game on September 21, 1970, when they beat Joe Namath and the New York Jets—bookend this in-depth look at a highly successful era in the franchise's history. During the five years from 1965–69, the Browns qualified for the postseason four times, played in three NFL championship games, and twice came within a game of the Super Bowl.
Classic Reds

Choosing the 50 greatest games is hard to do; ranking them is even harder. Now every Reds fan can relive memories of baseball before and after the Big Red Machine, debate about these choices, or make a list of their own.
Classic 'Burgh
David Finoli | Filed under: Black Squirrel Books, Classic Sports, Recent Releases, Regional Interest, Sports
In the 1940s and 1950s, Duquesne University basketball was not only the most revered team in the city but also won the area's only Division I national championship ever in a tournament. Carnegie Mellon University, considered one of the premiere academic institutions in the country today, was still called Carnegie Tech in 1926 when its football team defeated the great Knute Rockne and Notre Dame in one of the most incredible upsets the sport has ever seen.
The Complete Funky Winkerbean Volume 8, 1993–1995
Tom Batiuk | Filed under: Black Squirrel Books, Comics, Humor, Recent Releases
In this eighth volume, Funky Winkerbean continues to move forward in real time, tackling issues of relevance and substance with characters whose lives are increasingly fateful and destined. Funky has placed Batiuk at the forefront of a new genre in comic art history as the strip pursues stories ahead of their time: guns in schools and teen suicide. The humor in Funky continues to grow as it evolves from sitcom gags to a deeper and more engaging behavioral style of humor.
Speak a Powerful Magic
Wick Poetry Center | Filed under: Art, Black Squirrel Books, Forthcoming, Poetry
Speak a Powerful Magic features poems by schoolchildren, immigrants and refugees, patients and caregivers, and veterans, alongside the work of well-known contemporary American poets, and it demonstrates that poetry is truly of the people. We turn to poetry to give voice to what is troubling us, to honor what we love, to make sense of our lives, to remember our past, and to commemorate what we've lost. Here, it becomes clear that poetry, especially when coupled with the visual arts, has the potential to broaden our understanding and bring people together in ways that more traditional communications simply cannot.
John M. Harris | Filed under: Black Squirrel Books, Recent Releases, Sports
Redemption in '64 entertains readers with the growing excitement of the Browns' turnaround seasons. It concludes with play-by-play action of Cleveland's thrilling victory over Johnny Unitas's Baltimore Colts in the 1964 NFL championship contest, still one of the greatest professional football upsets of all time.

For four centuries Britain was an integral part of the Roman Empire, a political system stretching from Turkey to Portugal and from the Red Sea to the Tyne and beyond. Its involvement with Rome started long before the Conquest launched by the Emperor Claudius in 43 AD, and it continued to be a part of the Roman world for some time after the final break with Roman rule. Bringing together archaeological investigation and historical scholarship, Peter Salway explores some of the key issues arising from this period in Britain's history, discussing the question of identity at this time and analysing the importance of widespread literacy in Roman Britain. Covering the period from Julius Caesar's first forays into Britain and Claudius' subsequent conquest, as well as Britain under the later Roman Empire, Salway outlines the key events of this time period, providing a focus on society in Roman Britain, and offering a thoughtful consideration of the aftermath of Roman rule. In the new edition of this Very Short Introduction, Peter Salway makes a number of essential updates in light of recent research in the area. He looks at issues of ethnicity, 'Britishness', and post-colonialism, provides alternative theories to the end of the Roman period in Britain, and draws parallels between the history of Roman Britain and a wide range of other periods, territories, and themes, including the modern experience of empires and national stereotypes. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

"Röschen" Pole
"Röschen" by Pole
Pole (aka Stefan Betke) has shared "Röschen," the first single off the artist's forthcoming release Fading, out November 6, via Mute. The new LP follows the remastered reissues of his trilogy, 1 2 3, at the beginning of the year. "Every Pole record connects to recordings that I've made before," Betke explains. "In order to stay in this kind of vertical development, the ideas from 1,2,3 up to now are connected. I keep the interesting elements, languages and vocabulary that I designed and add new elements."
The exploration of one's own history relates to the inspiration for Fading. "The album was mostly inspired by the idea of memory loss," explains Betke. "My mum had dementia and I saw her losing all the memory that she had accumulated over her 91 long years. When losing that memory it turned into what she was probably like in the beginning of her life when she was born – like an empty box."
A concept album this is not however. The role of memory loss was simply a springboard for Betke, an idea for the Berlin based artist to further explore through sound. "It was the motor for moving in this direction," he says. "So for the opening track, 'Drifting,' there is the idea of a whole lifespan that starts pretty empty and it gets fuller and then it ends with this kind of bell sound in the background. Or 'Fading,' the last track, deals with the idea of fading away and disappearing slowly. But you always leave something. You leave a feeling or an image or an atmosphere. Everybody who lives leaves something on this earth."
This approach gave Betke the opportunity to reconnect with his own memory and past. "You can hear some little pops and glitches in the background of this recording, which is a direct reference to the trilogy," he says. "But you hear it relatively quietly in the background, this is a little bit of a sign from me, as my history is fading away slowly too."
Due to the multifaceted nature of Betke, the end result is an album that feels as suited for immersive headphone listening as it does to being pummeled out through a PA loud enough to feel the bass rattle your ribcage.
It may have begun life with the embrace of an accident – Pole is named after a broken Waldorf 4-Pole filter that gave him the distinct sound – but over the years it has morphed and transitioned into a finely tuned and honed project with a deft yet potent sense of evolution. Accidents are, however, still something to be cherished in Betke's world; the striking artwork for the album being a prime example. "During a super heavy thunderstorm my TV broke down and I couldn't see anything for 10 minutes," he says. "As my screen was trying to recover it looked very strange. I took hundreds of pictures and when I was going through the photos, I saw these three where there are people coming into the image and fading out at the end. They look like oil paintings, and the fading away process is remade in the trilogy of these photos."

Kevin is going through a tough period after his wife earned the custody of their child and decided to leave him. In a moment of weakness he decides to drive back to the place they first met. On his way Kevin makes a good deed picking up Grady and giving him a ride to the next town. But there's something uncanny about Grady, and things become even stranger when he pretends he has the ability to read people and starts to guess about Kevin's situation.
Daniel Robinete's idea behind his short film 'The Time Will Come' has the ability to cast the right amount of suspense to engage the audience empathically and captivate their interest.
The element which will stir most interest is the motif of death reflected by Grady's character, an impersonation that we would say sets the tone of the film and drives most of the film's emotions.
You might have previously seen impersonations of death, but Daniel Robinette's vision really stands out. Death's role is far from being just to take lives or scare people with its presence of power over human existence, as it usually happens in mainstream films nowadays. The director of 'The Time Will Come' proposes a widening perspective over the matter: death's competence, before anything else, is to guide over the passing into the afterlife at the right moment and not one second before. Grady's character becomes one meant to bring balance in the world. This shows a very mature understanding of things and a profound sensibility of the film's creators.
Meanings are harnessed even deeper: Grady is washing his hands after each tangible encounter with a real person. This brings up an interesting debate about the sacredness of this misunderstood phenomenon, the message is clear: not everyone can access 'afterlife' at any desirable time. People have yet to know life before they know 'afterlife'. Rarely have we seen 'death' treated with such cold discernment and respect in cinema. It is true this is a short film, but still, it is impossible to overlook the wise perception over the issue that emerges from it.
'The Time Will Come' is equally entertaining as it is meaningful and original in its approach. If you're looking for a clever short thriller with horror tints, this one is for you!

WHEN ROCK HAD THE CAPACITY TO TERRIFY
I recently purchased the Elton John-Leon Russell album The Union, which is not only an agreeable collection of retro blues-pop choogling (I especially like the song "Hey Ahab"), but a means through which I've conquered one of my greatest childhood fears: the face of Leon Russell.
The best record shop around when I was a kid was not strictly a record shop but the basement music section of Korvette's, a chain discount department store in the greater New York City area. I guess it was a precursor to places like Target and Costco, because my mother somehow needed to shop there nearly every weekend, and we kids were left to roam the record department until checkout time. This was the early to mid 1970s, when rock musicians were at their most hirsute and sinister-looking. For me, the sensation of flipping through those record shelves was akin to the perverse pleasure people take in watching horror movies: they know they're going to be scared, yet they dig it.
I never liked horror movies, but I couldn't help but look, repeatedly, visit after visit, at the scary faces of scary musicians on scary-looking album covers. I was mesmerized/traumatized by Edgar and Johnny Winter, the albino brothers from Texas who were then in their heyday as blues guitarists:
Edgar's combination of albinism, nudity, and glam pancake on the cover of They Only Come Out at Night was particularly haunting. The glammy thing then going on was as frightening to a small child as the long hair and Mephistophelean beards people had. I was equally spooked by the covers of David Bowie's Aladdin Sane and the glam-meets-Dresden chaos relished by the members of Kiss (those preening goons! those exploding flash pots!) on the (to me) apocalyptic cover of Alive!:
But nothing compared to the abject terror inspired by Leon Russell album covers. In the years since, I've come to learn that Russell, a pianist, was a core member of Phil Spector's band of sixties session men and a universally liked and respected member of the rock fraternity, employed by the Rolling Stones, George Harrison, and the Byrds. Back when I was a kid, though, he was, for a pocket of time in the seventies, a credible top-forty solo artist and the meanest, scariest-looking man in rock. This was partly through forces over which he had no control (he was prematurely graying and had sunken, ringed eyes), and partly because the guy worked it—with greasepaint makeup, albums with titles like Carney, and scowly cover expressions even on the albums he recorded with his then-wife Mary:
You cannot understand how unsettling it was to flip through this man's body of work circa 1970-75, encountering various iterations of this nasty visage in the darkened, windowless space of the Korvette's record department. It's ironic that Elton John should be the one to rescue Russell from semi-obscurity with their Union album, for Elton's Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy was the first LP I ever bought in Korvette's with my own spending money. (Theretofore I had only ever purchased singles; I had an older sister and brother to buy new albums and bestow musical taste upon me.)
Leon is still pretty scary in appearance to me, but if Elton is comfortable with him, then so am I.

Ramsey County board selects Ryan O'Connor as county administrator
By Frederick Melo | fmelo@pioneerpress.com | Pioneer Press
The Ramsey County board on Tuesday appointed Ryan O'Connor to be the next county manager.
O'Connor, 34, will oversee 4,000 employees and a $700 million budget, filling the vacancy created by the retirement of longtime county manager Julie Kleinschmidt, who has held the job for nearly 10 years.

The board voted 6-0 in appointing O'Connor, who has been a deputy Ramsey County manager in charge of Health and Wellness, but County Board Member Janice Rettman cast the sole dissenting vote when it came to approving his contract, which calls for a base salary of $181,000. The job was advertised between $146,000 and $217,000. Commissioner MaryJo McGuire was absent from the meeting.
"This is not personal with me," said Rettman. "I can't see paying someone more than the governor's salary, and this is a $180,000 contract. … Part of the job is public service, and that means you make a sacrifice to do public service."
County Board Chair Jim McDonough said the contract represents a mid-range salary for the position.
"Many jurisdictions have much higher salaries for secondary and even third levels within their organization," McDonough said.
O'Connor, who joined the county in 2013 as the director of the policy and planning division, was chosen from among six finalists for the county manager's role.
