Do you think you could rip the music (or more the cutscene) that plays when Raiden is with Snake, and does something heroic... At the end of Act 4, you hear a coversation from MGS2 between Rose and Jack as it plays.
By the way, if you need to see how to white out for spoilers, just hit 'Quote' to reply to my message, and you can see how I did it.
Are you sure this is not MGS2's Who Am I Really?. I have just seen this scene again, and I have noticed that the first notes are the same.
Yep, you're absolutely correct; it definitely is the last part of.... Who Am I Really?/The Freedom To Decide. My bad. Lovely arrangement all the same, and here it is - along with another recording of another portion of the ending.
Though most of you Metal Gear music fans had probably heard it already, I can't recommend Reuben Kee's fan arrangement "Legend of the Snake 2 - Snake Versus Dragon" enough. Especially for anyone who misses the Metal Gear Solid Main Theme, this is pretty close to what I've envisioned a MGS4 mixing of the MGS3 "Metal Gear Saga" version and the Main Theme to sound like. His style fits in remarkably well.
Reuben Kee's site could do with an update, you'd think someone would mention his death on there.
It'd be cool if they were able to put out an album of their MGS4 music through GEM Factory. Would that ever happen?
I just downloaded your rip last night after finishing MGS4, Angela -- thanks so much for your hard work!
It's really a shame they left the new "Enclosure" arrange off of the OST... it's so beautiful, but it's just so hard to listen to with Otacon sobbing over top of it. My heart just breaks for the poor guy every time. :\ Spoilers just in case someone thinks Otacon crying is a spoiler, in which case they probably haven't played any MGS games before.
Actually, while I'm talking about this, what is the line Otacon says right after "Why does it always end this way?" It's at 2:15, and Snake and the sound effects almost completely drown it out. Can anyone else catch it?
My god, I had no idea that Reuben Kee had passed away..... That would explain the lack of email correspondence. May he rest in peace; he was an awesome musician, and from what I've gathered, a cool person in general.
Interesting to hear that GEM Impact had a far more integral role in the soundtrack than once thought. Now more than ever do I want to hear each of the members' individual contributions -- but as the interview alludes, the collaboration effort seemed so highly integrated that I wonder if it'd be possible to narrow down any one single variable from each of the composer's works?
Spoilers just in case someone thinks Otacon crying is a spoiler, in which case they probably haven't played any MGS games before.
Who knows? Maybe something will turn up in the future.
Finally, I made a recording of the recently released "Battle At Highland", the Another Side version of the South America alert theme.
Damn it, I just keep finding new tracks to record for MGS4. Wouldn't have guessed there was a second variation of "Haven Troopers" to be found until someone pointed it out to me. The one is from the Act 1 Advent Palace confrontation, whereas the previous one is from the Act 5 battle.
Sorry to bump an old thread but, erm, first thanks Angela for the latest rips, and then I was wondering: anybody knows the composer(s) for Metal Gear Solid: Digital Graphic Novel? I'm sure I saw a name somewhere, but can't remember where.
By the way, there are some iPod songs from MGS2: Digital Graphic Novel in MGS4, "Big Boss" and "Harrier", and both are composed by Norihiko Hibino. Angela, did you made a rip of these and of "Love Theme ~hum version~"?
Norihiko Hibino and GEM Impact did Bande Dessinée 2. I'm not sure about the original, though, so I'm interested too. A rip of either would also be awesome.
Yes sir, I did -- and I've been meaning to upload them. Here's Big Boss and Harrier; I'll have the Love Theme up in a bit, since there's some weird sound glitches coming from the first recording I made.
I'm not certain who composed the original Digital Graphic Novel either, though. I'll do some fishing around.
EDIT: Love Theme ~hum version~ now up. It's a lovely, lengthy variation, by the way. Much more emphasis on the guitar and violins.
Great, thanks a bunch! The love theme is so poignant, it's almost a crime they didn't use it in the game in itself.
Have you guys heard the new track Forerunner yet? It's the Another Side version of the Middle East alert theme, and it's pretty kickin'. It's unabashedly different from the usual "Solid" sound, maybe a bit of an AC!D feel during its more orchestral-progressive moments. Very cool.
if it's possible, could you please record the Big Boss version of the end game ranking music as well?


I saw a website today that still uses frames to display its content. Anyone remember frames? These were used in the early days of the web to provide layout to pages. They were amazing.
Seeing the site at [redacted to save embarrassment] made me nostalgic for that simpler life. A life before spam, cyberbullying, and PPC.
But was it really that great? I thought about the amazing advances that have been made in online publishing since those early days of the web. Not just in how we build pages, but in who can build them and what we can do with them. We can now get online in an instant and every day we can learn something new about cats important historical events. We can talk to people 25,000 miles away for free, visit Mars virtually, and turn the lights up whilst we have raw chicken on our hands (Siri).
We're no longer bound by the tyranny of frames. We're educated, enlightened, unleashed!
Ernest was right, and the masses are now free - well, free to install Wordpress anyway. With easy access to online publishing tools like YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Google+ there are more 15 minutes of fame available than ever before. Social media is a truly empowering force. Even if it is all owned by one evil megacorp. Our silent voices are now free to share, to educate, and to rant at Donald Trump on Twitter.
And online designers are free too. No more do they have to suffer restrictive layouts, tame web coding standards, and unhelpful web browsers (I'm looking at you IE 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11). Web design teams are now limited only by imagination and good UX. Flexible grids, "broken" grids, curves, diagonals, SVGs, transitions and animations give web design team some of the tools that traditional print publishers have used for years. And beautiful, beautiful typography.
At Versantus we have hundreds of years of web development history behind us. We've fought the battles with frames and come out the other side - weary and cynical, sometimes a little vague and shell-shocked. But we made it through, and although we occasionally look back mistily, we're mostly thinking about the future.
We're no longer limited to Netscape Navigator and basic HTML. Our growing team brings new people and ideas, new clients and new opportunities. We're thinking about less back-end and more front-end websites with Angular, React, Express, adding awesome-sauce animation and user interactions, flexible and powerful layouts that respond in innovative ways to users, content, devices, locations, voice user interfaces (who needs a mouse?), Augmented Reality, IoT devices, and always-connected humans.
The future is bright, the future is now.
Are you in the future yet?
The code for our frameset above looks like this. Pretty slick, huh?
No awkward CSS messing it up, just a container <frameset>, a sidebar and the main content. Beautiful, elegant, awfully limited. And thankfully now dead to most of us.
If your business website is still using frames it may be time to talk to Frank in IT, or give us a call and we'll show you how to stop crying out in ignorance, and start publishing freely.

VAN DIEMEN'S LAND
James Boyce
Almost half of the convicts who came to Australia came to Van Diemen's Land. There they found a land of bounty and a penal society, a kangaroo economy and a new way of life....
Doing Life: A Biography of Elizabeth Jolley
Brian Dibble
Elizabeth Jolley was a fine writer. Her publishing career began in her fifties in Australia, but as Brian Dibble demonstrates her writing developed through the decades in England and Scotland, from her family of origin, in boarding schools and hospital wards, and into her independent adult life. The array of wild characters in her fiction—misfits and those on the edge of society—can also be found in the remarkable life of Elizabeth Jolley. This is a lyrical and readable biography, one that presents a world of family and pleasures, but always infused somewhere with an unexpended sadness.
The Henson Case
David Marr
On Thursday 22 May 2008, Bill Henson, one of Australia's most significant artists, was preparing his new Sydney exhibition. It featured photographs of naked adolescent models. That afternoon, triggered by a newspaper column and the outrage of talkback radio hosts, a controversy exploded in response to these images. David Marr, one of Australia's leading journalists, tells the story of this dramatic public trial. The Henson Case is a remarkable investigative essay which draws on Marr's extensive interviews with Bill Henson and features eight photographs from the Sydney show.
Gough Whitlam: A Moment in History
Jenny Hocking
Acclaimed biographer Jenny Hocking's Gough Whitlam: A Moment in History is the first contemporary and definitive biographical study of the former Labor Prime Minister. From his childhood in the fledging city of Canberra to his first appearance as Prime Minister to his extensive war service in the Pacific and marriage to Margaret, the champion swimmer and daughter of Justice Wilfred Dovey, the biography draws on previously unseen archival material, extensive interviews with family and colleagues, and exclusive interviews with Gough Whitlam himself....
Drawing the Global Colour Line
Marilyn Lake
Henry Reynolds
At last a history of Australia in its dynamic global context. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, in response to the mobilisation and mobility of colonial and coloured peoples around the world, self-styled 'white men's countries' in South Africa, North America and Australasia worked in solidarity to exclude those peoples they defined as not-white--including Africans, Chinese, Indians, Japanese and Pacific Islanders. Their policies provoked in turn a long international struggle for racial equality....
Chloe Hooper
The story of a death, a policeman, an island and a country. The Tall Man is the story of Palm Island, the tropical paradise where one morning Cameron Doomadgee swore at a policeman and forty minutes later lay dead in a watch-house cell. It is the story of that policeman, the tall, enigmatic Christopher Hurley who chose to work in some of the toughest and wildest places in Australia, and of the struggle to bring him to trial. Above all, it is a story in luminous detail of two worlds clashing – and a haunting moral puzzle that no reader will forget.
House of Exile: The Life and Times of Heinrich Mann and Nellie Kroeger-Mann
Evelyn Juers
In 1933 the author and activist Heinrich Mann and his partner Nelly Kroeger fled Nazi Germany, finding refuge first in the south of France and later, in great despair, in Los Angeles, where Nelly committed suicide in 1944 and Heinrich died in 1950....

Dog Boy
Abandoned in a big city at the onset of winter, a hungry four-year-old boy follows a stray dog to her lair. There in the rich smelly darkness, in the rub of hair, claws and teeth, he joins four puppies suckling at their mother's teats. And so begins Romochka's life as a dog. Weak and hairless, with his useless nose and blunt little teeth, Romochka is ashamed of what a poor dog he makes. But learning how to be something else…that's a skill a human can master. Fortunately—because one day Romochka will have to learn how to be a boy.
The Lakewoman
Alan Gould
A moving love story that is also a deeply absorbing poetic meditation on the moral journey of a solitary man. A brilliant achievement. - Alex Miller An Australian soldier in British service parachutes into the roaring embattled skies of the night before D-Day, and lands in a vast lake of flooded fields. His encounter with a mysterious woman who seems to rule that water world deflects him from the war and from all the promise his life had seemed to hold. This is a strange and compelling novel.
As the Earth Turns Silver
Alison Wong
It is 1905 and brothers Yung and Shun eke out a living as green grocers near Wellington's bustling Chinatown. The pair work to support their families back in China, but know they must adapt if they are to survive and prosper in their adopted home....
Lovesong
Strangers did not, as a rule, find their way to Chez Dom, a small Tunisian cafe in Paris. Run by the widow Houria and her young niece, Sabiha, the cafe offers a home away from home for the North African immigrant workers at the great abattoirs of Vaugirard who, as with Houria and Sabiha themselves, have grown used to the smell of blood in the air. When one day a lost Australian tourist, John Patterner, seeks shelter in the cafe from a sudden Parisian rainstorm, a tragic love story begins to unfold....
The Life and Death of Democracy
John Keane
The Life and Death of Democracy will inspire and shock its readers. Presenting the first grand history of democracy for well over a century, it poses along the way some tough and timely questions: how did democratic ideals and institutions come to have the shape they do today? Given all the recent fanfare about democracy promotion, why are many people now gripped by the feeling that a bad moon is rising over all the world's democracies? Do they indeed have a future? Or is perhaps democracy fated to melt away, along with our polar ice caps?...
The Blue Plateau: A Landscape Memoir
Mark Tredinnick
'A truly beautiful book, exquisite as the country it depicts' PATRICE NEWELL, author of Ten Thousand Acres An inspired meditation on the contours of the land and its people, of time and place and family, the rhythms of nature and the rhythms of friendship, it is a book of many belongings. Here you will meet the plateau's first people; you will meet Les and Henryk and Jim; you will walk the Kedumba and the Kanimbla in drought and fire and flood. Evocative and deeply moving, The Blue Plateau is a poet's story of an astonishing place and a loving portrait of home.
The Water Dreamers
Michael Cathcart
The Water Dreamers is an illuminating account of the ways people have imagined and interpreted Australia while struggling to understand this continent and striving to conquer its obstacles. It's an environmental history and a cultural history with an unmistakable sense of how, today, we are part of that continuing story.
Strange Places: A Memoir of Mental Illness
Will Elliott
A darkly humorous, insightful and searingly honest first-hand account of a journey through schizophrenia from a prodigiously talented writer....
The Colony: A History of Early Sydney
Grace Karskens
The Colony is the story of the marvellously contrary, endlessly energetic early years of Sydney. It is an intimate account of the transformation of a campsite in a beautiful cove to the town that later became Australia's largest and best-known city....
The Ghost at the Wedding
Shirley Walker
The young men who worked in the cane fields of northern New south Wales in 1914 couldn't wait to set off for the adventure of war. The women coped as best they could, raised the children and lived in fear of an official telegram. They grieved for those killed, and learnt of worse things than death in combat. The Ghost of the Wedding chronicles events from both sides of war: the horror of the battlefields and the women left at home. Walker's depictions of those are grittily accurate, their reverberations haunting.

CROSS POSTED WITH LINKS ON BYLINE.COM
I am running these series of blogs from the distraught residents association in London following this fire . They sadly speak for themselves. This absolutely tragic scandal means there must be a full scale inquiry set up by the government. These warnings from the local residents association suggest to me that something badly went wrong over fire safety concerns and that people will need to be brought to book.
The inquiry must be wide ranging and involve all tower blocks that have been recently refurbished in this way across the country not just in Kensington. In the meantime tribute must be made to the London Fire Brigade – which has been the subject of merciless cuts and privatisation – and the NHS hospitals again at the front line so soon after two terror attacks in the capital.
All one can say is that I cannot imagine the horror and fear that distraught families and their relatives are facing tonight after such an appalling event and my thoughts are with them.
Grenfell Action Group
Watching breaking news about the Grenfell Tower fire catastrophe. Too soon (5am) to even guess at numbers of casualties and fatalities. Our heartfelt and sincere condolences to all who have perished, to the injured, to those who are bereaved or are still searching for missing loved ones.
Regular readers of this blog will know that we have posted numerous warnings in recent years about the very poor fire safety standards at Grenfell Tower and elsewhere in RBKC.
ALL OUR WARNINGS FELL ON DEAF EARS and we predicted that a catastrophe like this was inevitable and just a matter of time. Below is a list of links to previous blogs we posted on this site trying to warn the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, who own this property, and the Kensington and Chelsea Tenant Management Organisation who supposedly manage all social housing in RBKC on the Council's behalf:

3 thoughts on "GRENFELL TOWER FIRE"
From the Guardia's online site:
"Dr Jim Glocking, technical director of the Fire Protection Association (FPA), an industry body, said his organisation had been pushing for a review of fire-related building regulations for some time.
"While we have lobbied long and hard to changes to building regulations, the groups responsible have remained resolutely intransigent to opening up a review," he said.
"Various ministers have said over the years that there will be an imminent review, but it keeps being put on hold, in spite of organisations like ourselves campaigning very hard."
Among the areas the FPA wanted reviewed, Glocking said, was a lack of compulsion for external insulation underneath cladding on tower blocks to be fire resistant, and tighter regulations over timber-framed buildings, now the most common method for social housing."

Red tape saves lives. Regulation saves lives. Both are a nuisance, but less than dying of smoke inhalation.

Death Stranding "Slightly" Behind Schedule, Says Hideo Kojima
By Farhan Ali March 6, 2019
Death Stranding, Hideo Kojima's first project as an independent director, is still quite far from its release. Except that it's launching on the PlayStation 4, not much is known about the game. In a recent interview with Japanese radio station J-Wave, director Kojima stated that Death Stranding is "slightly" behind schedule.
As reported by VG247, the interview took place earlier today. Shortly after, a portion of it was translated and shared on ResetEra. In the interview, the founder of Kojima Productions discussed the development status of Death Stranding.
"Many studios lag behind their planned release date, and Death Stranding is slightly behind our initial plan, but it is not too far behind," states Kojima.
In the world of gaming, this is a fairly common occurrence. Delays happen, and Kojima doesn't seem to be bothered by lagging development. The veteran developer believes that working under a deadline shouldn't compromise the quality of the project.
Death Stranding was announced during E3 2016. Since then, a handful of pre-release gameplay screenshots and trailers have been shared. However, there is still no sign of a release date. Not much is known about the details of the game. We know from past interviews and cryptic tweets that Death Standing is an open world action game with multiplayer elements. Kojima hasn't revealed the exact genre, but the developer has made a comparison to Metal Gear Solid.
While a delay is never a good sign, it's a relief to finally receive an official update on the title's development status. Last week, developer Kojima Productions filed for two new trademarks in Japan. The "Social Strand System" and "Strand Game" trademarks likely reference the multiplayer aspect of Death Stranding.
As for the release date and platform, rumors claim that Death Stranding is due for release sometime in 2019. Additionally, the game is reportedly a PlayStation 4 exclusive, but there is still no concrete information.

Marcus Buchecha Will Compete In Berkut (Russia)
Photos Stefan Cocef and @izidor_
Ten-time world champion, Marcus Buchecha is already plotting his plans for the next season. In addition to confirming his presence in the World IBJJF league, where he will seek his sixth title in his weight division, the Checkmat black belt also signed with ACBJJ (Absolute Championship Berkut Jiu-Jitsu). Thus, Buchecha, which still has no marked date for his debut in the tournament yet, joins other big names like Felipe 'Preguica', Erberth Santos and Mohamed Aly in event roster.
"The ACBJJ is an event that is further professionalizing our sport. The events are getting better, more professional and an event of this size, growing so much, I could not stay away. The biggest names in Jiu-Jitsu have signed with the event. I'm sure it will be very good for the sport, and we have to support it" he praised.
This year, Marcus Buchecha won another jiu-jitsu - crowned champion of the ADCC and also won the championship of the IBJJF Pro League, which paid 40,000 US dollars to the champion of the tournament. For 2018, the expectation is to repeat the good performance. He can't wait to make his debut in the Russian organization.
"I'm very eager to attend the event. The individual fight format category is very similar to the UFC, and it is quite interesting. This brings a different look to the competition from the traditional format. I intend to fight several times in the event in 2018, so I have to prepare myself well because I will have a full schedule next year", concluded the fighter.

Accent tables look different than traditional end gaming tables. They can be highly decorative, thus, making them terrific for anchoring the upholstered furnishings in the room. In addition, accent tables come in numerous types of shapes and sizes, so you can select a desk that is perfect for the space available to you. For instance, some end workstations just don't scale well in a room, especially when you have a substantial sectional that dominates the landscape. Smaller accent event tables can fill the bill totally, as you can get one that is more delicate but no less useful.

*

*You can run the SharePoint Configuration Wizards on the Sharepoint sever,

*Dissconnect from the current farm,

*Run the SharePoint Configuration Wizards again,

*Choose to Connect to the current Farm

*Write your DB server name, and choose your configuration DB

*Finish the Wizard

Also ,
If the IP addresses have changed at the server, check that the HOST A entries in DNS relevant to the server have also been changed to reflect the new IP of the server

In my last">post I discussed the intrapreneur career choice, and defined an intrapreneur as an employee that delivers his or her ideas as part of a large, high-tech corporation. I also addressed the incorrect stereotype that an entrepreneur is the only career choice when it comes to innovation.
Both careers paths have their pros and cons. When considering which path to take, I am of the opinion that the intrapreneur choice presents a rather significant benefit: a global experience.
Joining a start-up does not necessarily mean that an entrepreneur lacks the opportunity to collaborate with global technologists. It is common for new companies to establish technology teams in two or perhaps three global locations.
A large, global company, however, should already have an established technology footprint throughout the world. Global product development for large corporations is a must-have. Diverse cultures create better products together. Purchase decisions in some countries are based on the presence of a local R&D center. Geographically distributed technologists have greater access to research at their co-workers' local universities.
Intrapreneurs can have much more global fun tapping into this network of innovation. As an example, let's explore the world-wide opportunities available at a few high-tech companies.
Consider my corporation (EMC). I work in Massachusetts. I have access to local researchers at Harvard University and MIT. I'm building an information storage device with my co-workers in Research Triangle Park in North Carolina (highest percentage of PhD population in the world) and colleagues in St. Petersburg, Russia (frequent collaboration with St. Petersburg State Polytechnical University). I joined with my co-workers in Shanghai, China and entered an idea in EMC's global innovation contest. Some of these ideas are on their way to becoming products.
There are additional EMC technology teams located in Ireland, India, Israel, France, and the Netherlands. All of them are tied together on a common social-media backbone known as EMC ONE. This type of global availability is fertile ground for innovation in a way that can't be achieved by a new start-up.
Take a few minutes and research the global reach andlocations of other large, high-tech corporations, such asIBM,Cisco,and Microsoft.
"Globally collaborative employee" is certainly something that you want to write down on your resume; but it's more than that. It's an unforgettable way to deliver your ideas.
How can you make your voice heard in these types of globally expansive corporations? This is the essence of innovating with influence, and future blog posts will be covering the basics of global employee impact.

ADELTE designs for Port of Kiel an innovative Passenger Boarding Bridge
Barcelona 1st March 2010 – ADELTE has recently won a contract with the Port of Kiel (Seehafen Kiel GmbH & Co KG) to design, manufacture and deliver in September 2010 an innovative Passenger Boarding Bridge to service cruise ships and ro-pax ferry vessels of Stena Line at the new passenger terminal Sweden Quay (Schwedenkai).
The Port of Kiel is currently constructing a new passenger terminal at the Sweden Quay which will offer the highest handling quality for passengers and improve traffic movements on the site. From the terminal building a new large and fixed elevated covered walkway will be constructed which leads to the berthing space for cruise ships and Stena's ferry vessels. At the end of the elevated walkway a new innovative KRONUS Passenger Boarding Bridge will provide the connection to the passenger vessels.
The KRONUS PBB will consist of a 17 meter high rotunda, three glass mounted telescopic tunnel sections reaching a maximum length of 45 meters, an elevation frame movable on rails, a cabin and a sophisticated telescopic docking ramp. Unique in the design is the minimum width of 2 meters throughout the telescopic tunnel sections, allowing fluent and comfortable embarkation and disembarkation of all passengers.
Once installed and commissioned at the Sweden Quay at the Port of Kiel the KRONUS Passenger Boarding Bridges will have the capability to move along the whole quay and will be able to connect with the passenger entry doors of cruise ship and Stena Line's ro-pax vessels at various levels. The PBB is equipped with a uniquely integrated hydraulic, telescopic, docking ramp that, when attached to the ship shell entry door automatically follows the vessel's movements and will immediately undock in the event of an emergency. The KRONUS PBB will be compliant with all up-to-date local and international safety and security standards.
This is ADELTE's second contract with the Port of Kiel. Three years ago ADELTE delivered two KRONUS PBBs at the cruise-dedicated Ostseekai Terminal in the port city.

The next story to get the rework are the Jennifer stories. Two of them are tied into another series I call "The Security in the" as in The security in the Warehouse and etc. I will do them next. If everything goes well I will start posting new parts by Monday. My goal is to make them easier to read. I also plan on doing other stories than just the two main ongoing stories (The Book with No Name & Joleen Warren) but I will keep them going as well.

Humboldt Street Historic District, or Humboldt Island, is located west of Cheesman Park in Denver, Colorado on Humboldt Street between East Tenth and Twelfth Streets. It was the first residential district to be designated a historic district by the Denver Landmark Preservation Commission in 1972, and is listed as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places.

There are 25 houses in the district built between 1895 and 1920. They were designed by prominent architectural firms, including Willison and Fallis, Marean and Norton, and Barressen Brothers. There district contains houses of Renaissance Revival, Georgian Revival, Colonial Revival as well as simple Foursquare style architecture. Some of Denver's most wealthy and influential people lived in the neighborhood.

After Frederick G. Bonfils' mansion was torn down to make way for a fifteen-story apartment house, Denver passed an ordinated to protect Cheesman Park's mountain view from other high-rise buildings. Bonfils and Harry Tammen were owners of The Denver Post and self-made millionaires. Tammen had a Tuscan villa at 1061 Humboldt. Mining millionaires, the Stoibers had the district's showiest mansion, Stoiber-Reed-Humphreys Mansion, of Renaissance Revival-style architecture. Governor William Ellery Sweet lived in a Georgian Revival-style house at 1075 Humboldt.

One of the reasons I backed off of political blogging is because I found myself angry and agitated all of the time. As hard as I worked trying to tell people that in my opinion, Barack Obama would be a terrible president and would spread socialism, would weaken our national security, and would do irreparable damage, it seems no one listened. As loudly as I screamed that Obamacare would be a disaster and would result in thousands of people losing their private insurance coverage or paying higher rates, nobody listened. I was either preaching to the choir or arguing with brick walls.
I got tired of being mad all of the time.
In place of politics I've diverted my attention to writing on other things and to research for my book. We've been working on the house and the yard, and spending time with friends and neighbors. Instead of anger and frustration, I'm finding joy in the simpler things that warm your heart.
Last night for example, we sat outside under the magnolia tree, pulled up chairs for my neighbors, built a fire in the fire pit, and the four of us talked and laughed long into the evening. The tabby cat sat in the swing between me and Gena in utter contentment. Three teenage boys walked by, their voices and laughter carrying across the cool air, on their way to one of the fast food joints on Kings Highway. One of them noticed the flashing speed sign mounted to the light pole so they took turns running past it to see how fast they were going. The 13 mph champion raised his hands in a Rocky-esque victory celebration before they continued on their way.
It was all so much nicer than thrashing out the latest tax increase advocated by John Bel Edwards or digging through the qualifications of Obama's Supreme Court pick.
For the most part, I'm leaving all that to others these days, with the occasional exception.
My focus right now is on my book. I want to thank donor Steve for hitting my tip jar yesterday, very generously. That will help fund my trip to Natchitoches over spring break to get some final research that I need to finish revisions on the book. I'm feeling some new motivation and inspiration to finish strong! If anyone else feels so inspired, you can hit the tip jar over there in the right sidebar for the good of research!
In other matters: I've been greatly remiss in not watching the Shape of Shreveport series. I happened to discover, through a Facebook conversation on the tragedy of Fairgrounds Field, that Episode 4 of the SoS series is online at Real Shreveport. This episode covers two crashes that devastated Shreveport: the plane crash that killed six prominent Shreveport businessmen, and the oil crash that killed the banking and real estate industry in Shreveport. If you haven't seen it, go over to Real Shreveport and watch it. It's just over sixteen minutes and worth every second.
You may remember my lamentations over the shape of Shreveport last summer. It continues to make me sad at the wasted potential of this town.
Our mission is to help the pets of those in crisis. We are not a rescue and cannot foster or take in any animals. Our services include minor vetting, food, collars, harnesses, and leashes. We are not funded nor do we have the means to take on critical care for pets ( Parvo, Heartworm positive, or any extensive health problems ) We can set up a Vet appointment for a diagnosis but can't at this time provide treatment. We help the pets of those experiencing homelessness, rescues in need, and individuals that are going through crisis.
Their Facebook page is here. Their Amazon wish list is here. There are many items on that list that don't cost very much. For $20 you can send a flat of dog food. For less than that you can send them leashes and harnesses. Help them out if you can. If you don't want to donate online or from Amazon, I'll happily accept leashes, harnesses and bags of cat or dog food and take them to the Levy Street office of Nova's Heart for you.
Time to get back to work. Take time to do something nice today. The rewards are tenfold.
It looks like we're going to need an ark. I was going to fertilize my lawn this weekend but I think I'll hold off on that as it appears it would all just wash away. I love the rain but I'm feeling the need to batten down the hatches and hunker down.
The Cammie Book: As I noted yesterday, blogging has been light here lately. I'm five months away from deadline on the Cammie book and that's consuming all of my mental and physical energy right now. I'm heading back to Natchitoches over Spring Break to nail down a few details my publisher has asked for and I'm looking forward to that, actually. I have loved the research aspect of this project -- it's truly been a labor of love. However, we are not quite done yet, so ...wish me luck, please. And if you feel so inclined, don't be shy about hitting the tip jar over in the sidebar. Research takes money: gas, photocopies, lunch, postage, ink....help a girl out if you can.
The Louisiana Primary: Well, Cruz almost pulled off Louisiana, didn't he. I expected Trump to win it and I maintain my position strongly OUT of the Trump camp. I've been told that people like him because he is bombastic and will say things nobody else will say; they like him because he has his own money and nobody can buy him. My personal opinion is that he is a buffoon, a clown, and a reality TV candidate who has offered no real substantive solutions to anything other than "build a wall." Obviously we have no perfect candidate. But Trump is farther from perfect than most.
On a side note, I'm wondering how far in advance the ballots are printed? Mike Huckabee dropped out the first week of February, but he received 645 votes. Jeb Bush received over 2000 votes. Outside of early voting when your candidate may actually still be in the race, why would a person vote for someone who isn't even running?
They are working on a brokered convention. Any sane leader of the party sees this is a two person race and asks the others to get out to bring us together. They are looking at a war on the floor! It could spill out further.. As I was listening to them and saw the loyalty oaths the party is along people take and the loyalty oath Trump made people take I couldn't stand it.
We are in real trouble, I'm afraid.
Political Clown Parade predicts Marco Rubio's presidential dream is over and I'm inclined to agree.
get two things altered: I got some flared jeans I requested and some white jeans, both too long. It was okay because I had requested them no matter the length and they do fit perfectly otherwise. All three of my boxes have been 5/5's - I've kept all five items in each box. I'm requesting this green and white jacket in my next Fix -- I love this!
I have almost ten people who have signed up for Stitch Fix through my referral number, none of whom have ordered a box yet. If they all ordered a box then I'd have a $200 credit! Order a box for crying out loud! It only costs you $20 and that applies to the total shipped to you if you decide to keep anything in the box. If you hate it all, returning it could not be easier -- they include a prepaid mailer bag; just dump the clothes into the bag and drop in a mailbox.
Spring Projects: We have ripped up the carpet in the living and dining rooms and have a guy coming to give an estimate on refinishing our hardwood floors. I'm also going to get estimates on good quality laminate. I will always have dogs and dogs and carpet do not go together. In fact, after pulling up this carpet, I can tell you that I will never have carpet again! Can't wait to get the rest of it out of here. If you know someone good who either does refinishing or installs laminate, let me know. If you have experience with either or recommendations of one over the other, let me know.
I'm going to head out and get some work done outside before the coming deluge and then spend the afternoon with Cammie. My procrastinating must come to an end.
The blog has been sort of quiet for a couple of weeks. Spring has sprung around here and we've been busy with projects like sprucing up flowerbeds, laying down new mulch, trimming crepe myrtles, and even on the inside we've been ripping up carpet in preparation for refinishing hardwood floors. Let me just add, I will never have carpet again!
It's voting day here in Louisiana, so that's on my list of things to do today.
And, adding to the chaos, baseball season has started so we've already attended a few Centenary baseball games in the past couple of weeks!
On top of that, I'm still blogging for DaTechGuy every Monday, and I have five months left until my deadline with LSU Press on my Cammie Henry book. All that big talk I did about being finished "well before" the deadline? Utter BS. I'm scrambling right now. I want it to be the best I could do and to be perfect.
If that all wasn't enough, I'm taking on some administrative and posting duties on a friend's Facebook page, but I don't want to say a lot about that just yet.
All of that and the weather is so gorgeous I just want to sit outside in the swing all day and read.
Anyway, I'm here. I've been blogging about the Louisiana debt catastrophe at DaTechGuy so check over there now and then. Meanwhile, go outside and enjoy the weather this weekend. I'll be back.

In this video we are asked to focus on a red ball of light. Other sources have suggested focusing on a red wheel or spiral of energy (some say the wheel moves clockwise while others say it moves counterclockwise). Does the image make any particular difference, or are people just supposed to choose the image that works best for them?
My recent post Gifted people everywhere- we're looking for you!
Just have the intention and expectation that the way You do it will work for you. Anything can work for you if you believe it will work..
Love the meditation for balance. I kept my eyes closed through the whole meditation, so I don't know yet which way anything was spinning. The red ball of light was just that and grew brighter. I will try other ways and get back to you with my results.
I've read that there is a front and back to the chakra, and that the front moves counterclockwise and the back moves clockwise. I got really stuck on this and it interupted my focus. Instead I thought of my chakra as a flower that opens. It helped me to move past this and focus on clearing my chakra.
Wow, I feel great after this meditation…and only 2 minutes! I don't get caught up in thinking too much about right ways or wrong ways. I just try a technique the way it instructs and see how it makes me feel. I like this one and would be happy to have one of these videos for each chakra.
I found this to be very cool and I felt great afterward…and I am experiencing some serious personal stress. I would really like to have more of these meditations for the other Chakras..I like this one and will be doing ti everyday, Thanks, Finer Minds..
I did this at midday just now, but thought afterwards that I will try it at night where I can see the light of the full moon as my source of light.
I think these are great, her voice is so relaxing. I can feel a difference already. I have watched 4 of them I don't think the meditation would have the same effect if I didn't have the video. Thankyou for sharing them with us.
Wow, what I got from working with my rootchakra, was that poverty – abundance isn't about money at all. Just imagine that you had the ability to manifest everything you needed or desired (Well you have) living environment on a continous basis daily neccessities, access to entertainment, blissful moments or whatever you could think of. Wow it is so not about money. And I have been so worried about not having the ends meet because of a low income whilst my extra manifestations last month have been: new computer, new bed, free access to a fitness center and a bedroom with no clothes lying on the floor. Manifestation is easy, and don't have to be done through money.

The Art of Women's Stories A New Look at the Old Boater Hat Can Citizen Scientists Save Us?
In an interview with Ms. magazine's blog, Brittany Collins '19 discusses the triumphs and challenges of editing Voices and Visions, a literary journal based out of Smith's Kahn Liberal Arts Institute. She says, "A fundamental belief in the ethos of women's education grounds our editorial work, as well as a conviction that all women—indeed, their voices and visions—are vital to our local and global communities." The evolution of the boater hat is the focus of "From the River to the Runway," a multidisciplinary project by Cora Grant '19, Kelly Pien '20 and Muriel Brunet '17. Using hats from the Smith Historic Clothing Collection, along with visual analytics by R. Jordan Crouser '08, visiting assistant professor in statistical and data sciences, the students examine how and why women made the boater hat their own over time. Mary Ellen Hannibal '81 hopes all of us will one day become citizen scientists. In her Stanford TEDx talk, she explores the alarming findings of research on extinction and shows how each of us can contribute to saving endangered plants and animals, one iPhone app and observation at a time. Hannibal, a science and culture writer, is the author of Citizen Scientist: Searching for Heroes and Hope in an Age of Extinction.

Facts about Soekarno–Hatta International Airport (CGK):
The team chose a decentralized system similar to Orly Airport, Lyon Satolas, Hannover Airport and Kansas City Airport due to its simplicity and effectiveness.
To allocate the land and also determine the provincial border, time was needed.
Soekarno–Hatta International Airport handled 57,772,762 passengers last year.
On 1 December 1984, the airport structure was completed.
Terminal 1 and 2 was designed to resemble a traditional Rumah Joglo Javanese house.
The closest airport to Soekarno–Hatta International Airport (CGK) is Halim Perdanakusuma Airport (HLP), which is located only 19 miles (30 kilometers) ESE of CGK.
In addition to being known as "Soekarno–Hatta International Airport", another name for CGK is "Bandar Udara Internasional Soekarno–Hatta".
Soekarno–Hatta International Airport (CGK) has 2 runways.
The furthest airport from Soekarno–Hatta International Airport (CGK) is Yariguíes Airport (EJA), which is nearly antipodal to Soekarno–Hatta International Airport (meaning Soekarno–Hatta International Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Yariguíes Airport), and is located 12,367 miles (19,903 kilometers) away in Barrancabermeja, Colombia.
Terminal 2 is the second terminal built, finished in 1991.
Because of Soekarno–Hatta International Airport's relatively low elevation of 32 feet, planes can take off or land at Soekarno–Hatta International Airport at a lower air speed than at airports located at a higher elevation. This is because the air density is higher closer to sea level than it would otherwise be at higher elevations.

Trump's strongest supporters agree with a key argument of his: The media can't be trusted
President Trump at a campaign rally in Sunrise, Fla., on Nov. 26. (Maria Alejandra Cardona/Reuters)
Philip Bump
National correspondent focused largely on the numbers behind politics
December 12, 2019 at 5:53 PM EST
The House effort to impeach President Trump has become the sharpest example of partisan trench warfare, occasional forays over the top yielding little to no new ground. Support for impeaching the president grew after House Democrats launched an inquiry to that effect, but since then? Stasis.
Democratic arguments for the measure have failed to sway Republicans, among whom support for impeaching the president is about where it was when the inquiry was announced. Republican frustration with the process and arguments against it have similarly not influenced Democrats, who are a bit more likely to support impeachment than they were at the end of September. And neither party has convinced independents, who still float in the middle.
Why haven't those arguments moved Americans in one direction or the other? Perhaps for one of the reasons that views of Trump himself have remained largely static: the gulf in how Americans view the national news media.
Trump has invested a great deal of energy in disparaging the press, both because it serves him well to foster a distrust of objective analysis of his presidency and because it creates a foil, a spur for his supporters to rally to his defense. On Thursday, as the House Judiciary Committee neared final votes on articles of impeachment targeting Trump, the Pew Research Center released data showing how views of the media differed by party — and by views about Trump.
The results show the extent to which Republicans and Democrats differ in their views of journalists and the national media. But Pew's data go further, subdividing partisans by factors such as their view of Trump himself and the extent to which respondents track political news. Even within parties, those subdivisions reveal big differences.
Take the question of confidence in journalists acting ethically. Republicans were more likely to express low or very low confidence in journalists' ethical standards, but strong supporters of Trump were much more likely to hold a skeptical view than were Republicans who disapprove of the president, 85 percent to 67 percent. The Democrats most critical of Trump were the group most likely to express confidence in the press.
Similarly, highly politically active Republicans and Democrats held the most differentiated views of the subject. Republicans who are highly politically aware are 70 points more likely than highly aware Democrats to estimate that journalists have low or very low ethical standards.
More modest gaps emerge in similar questions. Democrats who strongly disapprove of Trump are broadly likely to express confidence in national news organizations, with a third saying they have a lot of trust in those outlets. Republicans who strongly approve of Trump are much less likely to trust major news outlets.
The groups also have separate expectations of the role the media plays. Twice as many Democrats who strongly disapprove of Trump as Republicans who strongly support him say the media plays a role in holding leaders to account. The most highly politically aware Republicans are far less likely to think journalists act in the public's interest than highly aware Democrats.
One important detail in Pew's poll is that those respondents at the poles of support for Trump or political awareness were also more loyal to the same news sources. Trump's strongest Republican supporters and the most politically aware members of his party are more loyal to the sources they trust — nearly to the same extent as Democrats who strongly disapprove of Trump or who are highly politically aware.
In other words, the respondents at the poles both had stronger opinions of the media and more loyalty to the media they trust. And those groups that have strong opinions on Trump also make up most of the population.
How does this overlap with impeachment? Well, polling has shown that there's a correlation between the media that people consume and their views of impeachment. NBC-Wall Street Journal polling released last month found that only 29 percent of those who regularly watch Fox News supported impeaching and removing the president, compared with 70 percent of those who watch MSNBC.
We've talked before about how Fox News's coverage of the impeachment inquiry differed from the coverage on CNN and MSNBC. We looked at data from the on-air chyrons to demonstrate the difference in the subjects being aired. We can similarly consider how often subjects are mentioned as an indicator.
Take Hunter Biden, the former vice president's son, whose work for a Ukrainian energy company moved to the center of Republican defenses of Trump. Fox News was more than twice as likely to mention Hunter Biden on air over the past three months as were CNN or MSNBC.
As other witnesses testified over that period, Fox News was also less likely to mention individuals whose testimony incriminated the president.
That certainly has some effect on views of impeachment. But it probably also rewards the loyalty uncovered by Pew: Strong Trump supporters probably aren't looking to hear a lot of negative information about the president.
It's a reminder of another detail we reported earlier this year on a similar subject. The people who support Trump and say they're least likely to change their mind about him?
People who watch Fox News.
Correction: A typographic error related to one measure of support was fixed from 95 to 85 percent.

Amazon's Best-Selling Books for Each of the Last 15 Years, Rated
Johann Thorsson Jul 22, 2016
This content contains affiliate links. When you buy through these links, we may earn an affiliate commission.
Amazon has been around since 1994, and their first book bestseller list appeared in 1995.
The book most popular that year on Amazon, and probably nowhere else, is quite perfect (but you'll have to wait to see what book it is).
Looking at the best seller lists for the past 15 years gives us a short history lesson in both amazon and fads in books and publishing. The funny thing is, not all of these are immediately familiar despite being the best-selling book for that year.
Let's take a look at the books:
2000: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Book Deals Newsletter
Sign up for our Book Deals newsletter and get up to 80% off books you actually want to read.
2001: Who Moved My Cheese?
2002: Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap…And Others Don't
2003: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
2004: The Da Vinci Code
2005: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
2007: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
2008: A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose
2009: The Lost Symbol
2010: The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest
2011: Steve Jobs
2012: Fifty Shades of Grey
2013: StrengthsFinder 2.0
2015: First 100 Words
2016 (so far): Harry Potter and the Cursed Child
Some interesting points:
In 1999, the top three sellers were the first three books in the Harry Potter series. So J.K. Rowling has topped the list in six separate years, if we count this year. That's amazing staying power.
Dan Brown appears twice with separate books, the only author apart from Rowling to do so.
Two books appear twice; Good to Great in 2002 and again in 2006 and StrengthsFinder 2.0, which was the top seller two years in a row, 2013 and 2014. I'm not sure what that says about us.
Now, let's take a look at both the overall number of ratings each book gets and then each book's average rating.
First, the Amazon best-selling books that most people feel the need to give their opinion on:
The books with the most reviews
Looks like a LOT of people have opinions about Fifty Shades of Grey.
The two Harry Potter books that follow have the exact same number of ratings, a statistic that is slightly suspicious.
As you can see in the following chart they also have the same average rating, another statistic that is strange.
I suspect that the Amazon people simply can't tell them apart. Anyway, here are the books that people like the most. Or…
The best-selling books with highest ratings overall
Bonus: the bestseller on Amazon's first year, 1995, was (presciently?) How to Set Up and Maintain a World Wide Website.
Best of all, it has a relatively recent review; this one-star review from 2014: "outdated book, not relevant now but definitely back in 95"
Which of the best-sellers above is your favorite?

John McCarthy had never wrangled a mule.
The former archaeologist had a rich, albeit conventional resume—working in New York as an interpretive exhibits designer, followed by stints as the director of a small living history museum, and a collections curator for a county museum.
As John began looking for his next role, a 'series of accidents, and then a leap of faith' led him to the C&O Canal.
Instead, John found himself in suspenders, moving canal boat tours around Georgetown. He knew a lot about the era in general, but studied the history of the C&O Canal as fast as he could—in addition to the five roles he was required to rotate through with his fellow crew members.
So, too, did they behave differently depending on the mule. Before each tour, two of the hybrid animals were groomed at Great Falls and transported to Georgetown in a horse trailer, where they pulled the Canal boat from the towpath. Much like the crew, John says the mules all had unique personalities.
The hour-long tours were tailored to the demographic—seniors and kids more easily amused than the rest. John fielded any and all questions, but the real story of the canal was one of westward expansion.
In addition to serving as a walking encyclopedia, master storyteller, and myth debunk-er, John became a talented musician. He had a talent for singing, and soon picked up the concertina.
On occasion, someone left…ahead of schedule.
No serious accidents ever occurred, but John says cautionary tales were passed down from one generation of crew to the next.
After 14 years in Georgetown, John led his last tour group in 2011 before the boat was unexpectedly decommissioned. He retired after seven more years at Great Falls, but still leads walking tours in Georgetown, and plans to volunteer once a new boat is launched in 2020—part of a Canal revitalization led by Georgetown Heritage and the National Park Service.
John felt fortunate his first time around. To return to this one-mile section of the C&O Canal would be all the sweeter.
