The Winter Soldier reveals the secret backstory hidden in his hair
Meredith Woerner
Filed to:captain america: the winter soldier
The Winter Soldier is giving Thor a run for his money for the most fabulous Marvel hair on the set of Captain America: The Winter Soldier. But how did they decide that a character breakdown equals long hair? Actor Sebastian Stan, who plays both Bucky Barnes and Captain America's new foe, shares with us the evolution of his lovely locks. And yeah, there's an actual story reason they're so lovely and long.
io9: So Bucky is like Captain America. They're both from another time, they're both lost in this new world. How does Bucky deal with that in this new movie?
Sebastian Stan: He doesn't deal with it. [Laughs]. He just doesn't deal with it.
I'm curious about the evolution of the hair.
Oh yes! Please ask me, because I'm sure people have opinions.
We've been drawing pictures of long hair on you for quite some time on io9. We didn't know how it would look! How did you guys come to this conclusion of this hairstyle? Was it totally out of your hands?
New Captain America concept art shows the Winter Soldier in action
A new bit of concept art form Captain America: Winter Soldier shows Steve Rogers' new nemesis in…
You know what the funny thing is, we had the artist - Ed Brubaker — on set. I remember I was talking to him and I asked "why the long hair?" And he said, "the thing is we have long hair when you're drawing comic books, [because it] things look more epic." This was so funny to me because he was basically also explaining why superheroes have capes. The reason they have capes is because you can tell in a comic book that they're flying. Or that there's wind. So I said, "alright, so you're telling me he has long hair because you wanted it for stylistic purposes." It makes sense!
In the storyline basically Bucky sort of snapped a little bit. He went on a mission and he went missing for about a month, or so, in New York and they [the Russians] couldn't find him. So he kind of walked around like a homeless person for a while. He was trying to figure out what he was doing and where he was. And during that process there was no one there giving him a haircut.
But in terms of the movie, I don't care. You can't approach something with "oh my god, how am I going to look with long hair," you just do. I'm playing this part, this guy's got long hair, I gotta have long hair. What are you gonna do. ?
Well I like it. I think it works. So what is modern-day Bucky (or Winter Soldier's) fighting-style? He was trained to fight in World War II and then picked up by the Russians. Is there a combination of Russian kickboxing or something?
It's actually kind of scrappy. The idea was this is the kind of guy who can kill you with a straw. He's precise, he's very specific with what he does. But the idea is that it's messy. He'll use knives… knives were always a big part of the character. There is a lot of knife work in the movie for sure. And overall brutality. He'll kill you with whatever is closest.
Bucky was very cool in the first movie, and he had personality and a bit of pep. How do you play damaged and crazed while maintaining the bits of Bucky we remember from the first film? Or do you just drop all of that?
No, no, you can't [drop that]. In the first movie, without knowing they were going to shoot this movie ,honestly, I thought about this happening. I wanted to show different sides of him where you could potentially look back and see sides of him. "I can see that person coming up this way, if he's being guided." Yes, it was technically a different person, but it's still the same guy. There's got to be something about him you recognize.
Looking even farther into the future, do you think Bucky could eventually take over for Captain America like he does in the comics?
I don't know. It's another storyline that's great, but there are many story lines. I unfortunately have no clue.

Update 06/17/14: The images to this post were accidentally deleted a long time ago, but everything else is still the same. Soon, I will be retaking photos and updating this post. Until then, please continue enjoying and thank you for understanding!
Finally, I conquered yet another item on my to-do list. Never mind that I still haven't put up our curtain panels or finished editing pictures from our 2010 trip. I'm talking small peanuts here – crossing off smaller items and eventually getting to the bigger items, right? Surely I'm not the only one.
Over the weekend, necessity became the mother of Google invention. For some time, I have been wanting to make my own natural, made-from-scratch laundry detergent for various reasons but most importantly, because I am continually on the quest to spend less money. By the way, just because I went all Laura Ingalls doesn't mean that I will never buy laundry detergent again. I love Seventh Generation and Ecos. For now, I am just being Mrs. Frugal and having fun crossing things off my to-do list.
If an urbanite such as myself can make her own laundry soap, then anyone can do it! You just need 3 common, inexpensive ingredients and about 10 minutes to spare.
Call me Laura Ingalls, I'm off to scrub my clothes on a washboard do a load of laundry with my new homemade soap.
Use 1 bar of soap, whatever you have on hand.
Grate your bar of soap, using a hand grater.
Add 1 cup of washing soda.
Add 1 cup borax powder.
Finished consistency should look like this, after stirring for a few minutes.
Here's a tip: If you leave a little room in the container you will store it in, you can give it a good shake right before using to make sure the soap crumbles are evenly dispersed with the borax and washing soda.
I wasn't able to weigh the final amount but it could easily fit into a 32 oz. container. Just make sure you don't use a container you plan on using for food in the future. Not a good idea!
For each load, use 1-2 tbsp. Heavier soiled loads can use 3-4 tbsp. Again, I have designated a plastic measuring spoon for this purpose and it will never re-appear in my kitchen.
There you have it…homemade, natural laundry detergent!
I haven't noticed any residue with this recipe. There could be other factors (like water hardness) that may affect your laundry, though. Good luck!
I have always worried about homemade detergent because I am convinced it will leave residue…does it?

Saturday Review: Londonstani
By Gemma Storey
This is a book set in the town where I grew up and went to school. Reading it was like jumping in a TARDIS and finding myself thrust back into the world of playground politics. So naturally, I didn't take an immediate shine to it.
Londonstani is a story set in west London, and involves a gang of (immature, annoying, arrogant) boys who go around making money from selling nicked mobile phones. They all come from comfortable middle-class Asian families, but they all embrace the 'rudeboy' culture.
Jas (the protagonist) appears to just exist without any kind of real goal, at least for the first few chapters. Gradually you get the impression that his ambition is to be accepted by the gang, who regard him as a bit of a twit.
Later, his goal shifts from acceptance to getting noticed by a girl. The gang, and others, would disapprove though, so he has to keep this a secret. To impress the girl (and get one of his former teachers off his back) he finds himself getting involved with a more successful criminal. Eventually, of course, it all falls apart.
The thing is, I didn't really care. Even when Jas was placed in real peril, I sort of rolled my eyes. The characters spend so much time confused over which parts of their culture they should embrace, and which they should reject, that the story feels nihilistic.
Jas does a lot of internal monologuing – I guess to convey the conflict he has between the somewhat reasonable kid he used to be and the little git he was becoming. But there's no real internal conflict. He just allows himself to be washed along on a tide of insignificance. It would make sense if he was 15 or 16, but at 19 I would think he'd be better at independent thought.
This is why the story is so frustrating. These aren't kids, they're young men. They should be ambitious and optimistic, but they all appear to believe that if they don't become petty criminals, they're destined to work at Heathrow for the rest of their lives (which they see as the ultimate bad life choice).
The story really kicks off on page 259, and the last 83 pages are quite interesting. The end of the story is a surprise, but it sort of makes the book feel like a long parable, one that could have been told in 150 pages.
There's an awful lot of slang in this book, especially at the start. I understand why – you want to immerse the reader in this culture – but this is sort of like tipping a bucket of ice water over the readers head. You spend so much time trying to get your bearings that you're not really absorbing what's going on.
The text speak is distracting, and the way the dialogue is formatted makes it hard to keep track of who is saying what. (Seriously people, what is wrong with quotation marks?)
The end of the book annoyed me, not because it was bad, but because the whole book felt like a set up to this one revelation, when it could have been more than that. A major event happens in the final third of the book – an event that should result in significant introspection and maybe even a total change in the character's behaviour, but we can't see any of that because it would ruin the punchline.
This is obviously the story that someone wanted to tell, and that's great, but I feel like there was a more meaningful story there that we couldn't quite get to experience.

View Full Version : Sasha re-signs w/ Lakers
TheNewbster
http://www.sportsline.com/nba/story/10909373
I don't know...$5 million a year seems a bit too much for a guy like him..
He is an above average shooter, he is worth every penny.
buzzin
Why would they sign him for that much its so stupid now they cant really go get a center incase of injuries we could of got j.r. smith for less but i know he isnt as good but still why so much for a back up player
He is the Lakers best Small forward.....that is why.
CHief_0_o_Wahoo
That is a lot of money for a guy like Sasha.
DenButsu
thread title modified ("re-signs" hyphenated)
yojoe792
Overpaid, maybe, doesn't really matter. He is a key player on the team, and a couple mill here or there doesn't really make a difference in the long run. This was a priority.
sasha is not a small forward he backs up kobe so nice try with that and lamar is our best small foward
Lamar Odom is the most confused player in NBA, no one knows what position he plays, even Odom does not know what position he plays.
I have no issue with it. He had a break out year and can potential be even better. Let's wait and see what happens. Odom gets paid 18 million a year I am more upset about that than giving Sasha 5 million a year. Lakers have made WAY WAY worse investments than that. I think it is a good one.
NY MeTro StAr
The effect of the EuroLeagues :(
Soon Mardy Collins will want 7 mill a year
_Sn1P3r_
Still a good signing despite the cost. They wanted him back and paid him what he wanted to be paid in order for him to stay.
Bleeds Blue
the guy shot 43 percent from downtown and can play some pesky d. it probably is a bit too much but im still happy. he was a very important part of last years team.
KG#1
to much money for a good shooter and overrated defender
we still have our MLE. we have plenty to go get a big. i think it was a smart move. he will not pull a luke walton. he works too hard to come back and suck like luke did
uhhhhh odom aint no small forward... hes a power forward... thats where he has played as a laker and i think thats why hes being shopped around... we need a starting small forward... not a power forward playing the small forward position.
JOSETHEALLSTAR
overpaid dudes not all that
Good sign mitch.
Packersfan
5 mil a year is 2 much for him. Him and turiaf were over-paid this offseason, the team made them look better.
Hotone1401
Yes, the Lakers may have overpaid but considering how much they are paying Vlad and Luke Walton, it really doesn't seem like it. Sasha is imroving every year and he has proven himself to be a key player in the Laker system. Now all the Lakers have to do is figure a way to get rid of Vlad and Luke's contracts.
I'm actually okay with the money he is receiving because if the Lakers didn't pay, he may well have went overseas to play. At that point, the only shooter on their team would be Vlad. :( Sasha's effort in the offseason and in games has given Mitch and the rest of the front office a reason to resign him. Some of you may say he is overrated but the kid is still young and he will only get better. I should point out that his shot is definitely not overrated. That boy can flat out shoot.
lakerboy
It really doesn't matter whether we overpaid.
Sasha was our bench player.
He wasn't actually just Kobe's back up.
If you watch our games, he comes off the bench FINISHES the game..
I was just about to post a link to the youtube video of Sasha getting pissed off on the bench and say if they're gonna pay him that kind of money they should include a clause in his contract that makes him agree not to do that anymore - but then I realized I'd probably have to give myself a baiting infraction for that and it wouldn't be worth the trouble. And then Lakers fans would just post the link to Melo getting ejected after he grabbed his throat anyways...
Could you post that? I've never seen that.
You're kidding, right? :rolleyes:
lakersrock
IF you paid attention, you'd know Sasha plays PG, SG and SF. Most of the time he is at SG, but he plays all three. That said, Odom is NOT our best SF. He isn't even a SF at all. Our best SF is Trevor Ariza.
ok good!
LOL When i read that i laughed.
I kno that guy i was arguing is gonna say something but what ever. Way too much money for a guy like that.
LakerzDQ
no he doesn't, at least not by the lakers.
it's overpaying, but if Buss is willing to do so to win games, I'm all for it.
I'm just worried he might get lazy after his paycheck.
he played small forward in previous seasons.
I remember starting lineups like Smush/Kobe/Odom/Kwame/Mihm.
you could argue who was the real center and who was the PF, Mihm or Kwame, but there was no doubt that Odom was the SF.
I understand what Laker fans mean when they say that Sasha's improving, but what I would use as comparison is Azibuike from Golden State who had signed an offer sheet from the Clippers for 3 years, $9 million. If you compare both price and the end production, Sasha simply was overpaid. Of course, Laker fans will insist to show that Sasha contributed greatly during the playoffs, but honestly, either player is a role/bench player...$2 million can help get you another player..$2 million can be added onto a contract and sway a player to sign with the Lakers...
What kind of player will you get with $2M?
This is the NBA baby. $2M will get you a Chris Mihm.
5 mil\year too much it's sick
Actually, if you know how you're spending your money, $2 million will help you a lot, and spending less than $5 million can do that too...
- Eddie House; last year for Boston made $1.5 million (per ESPN site's 07-08 listing) and was a key contributor in the playoffs as a 3-point guy and rotation for their PG
- James Posey; last year for Boston made $3.2 million (ESPN) and did great and of course got that new contract
Spend your money right and you can win. Forking $5 million for Sasha is irresponsible. Are you going to honestly tell me that for $5 million the Lakers couldn't go out get themselves a similar player cheaper? Heck, during the draft, teams were willing to sell their picks (the league max payment for a pick is $3 million). New Orleans sold their pick to Portland at #27. Denver at #20 traded out to Charlotte, but with their cap needs, they'd be happy for more money instead (Look to the Camby trade to realize how desperate they are). At #20 or even #27 in the draft, there were plenty of sharpshooters out there you could've gotten, signed to a rookie contract CHEAP and still gotten what Sasha gives you per game.
But in the end I suppose, the Lakers didn't really think Sasha would cost them this much until the sudden idea of Europe emerged as a legit threat...but honestly..$5 million...so 2 Sasha's = pretty much 1 Corey Maggette, 1 Tony Parker, etc etc money wise...I don't know about that..
That has a lot less to do with "being smart" than it does with being one of the few teams in the league that good players will take a pay cut to play for since they have a shot at a championship, or at least raising their profile by playing in a high profile market. The Nuggets were interested in Posey last summer, and Eddie Jones, and other players as well who all went to places like San Antonio, Boston, Dallas, etc.
That said, the Lakers are one of those teams, so they're in that select group that should be able to do better.

Now you can use Puppeteer for Firefox (min version: Firefox/63.0.4)

[Repository](https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer/tree/master/experimental/puppeteer-firefox)

Some of Puppeteer API methods has not supported in firefox yet. You could check status of them at [Puppeteer API coverage status](https://aslushnikov.github.io/ispuppeteerfirefoxready/)

## Installation

```sh
npm install puppeteer-firefox
```

## Configuration

If you want to use puppeteer-firefox, you should add it in Puppeteer section in codecept.conf.js.

- browser: 'chrome' OR 'firefox', 'chrome' is default value

```js
helpers: {
        Puppeteer: {
            browser: process.env.BROWSER || 'firefox',
            url: process.env.BASE_URL || 'https://example.com',
            chrome: {
                args: [
                    '--ignore-certificate-errors',
                ],
            },
            firefox: {
                args: [
                    '--ignore-certificate-errors'
                ],
            },
        },
```

## Run-multiple

Example multiple section in codecept.conf.js:

```js
 multiple: {
        parallel: {
            chunks: process.env.THREADS || 30,
            browsers: [{
                browser: 'chrome',
                windowSize: '1920x1080',
            }, {
                browser: 'firefox',
                windowSize: '1920x1080',
            }],
        },
    },
```

## Puppeteer v2.1.0 onwards

Historically, Puppeteer supported Firefox indirectly through puppeteer-firefox, which relied on a custom, patched version of Firefox. This approach was also known as "Juggler". After discussions with Mozilla, we collectively concluded that relying on custom patches was infeasible. Since then, we have been collaborating with Mozilla on supporting Puppeteer on "stock" Firefox. From Puppeteer v2.1.0 onwards, as an experimental feature, you can specify puppeteer.launch({product: 'firefox'}) to run your Puppeteer scripts in Firefox Nightly, without any additional custom patches.

```sh
npm i puppeteer@v2.1.0
```

If you want to try this expirement within CodeceptJS, you should add it in Puppeteer section in codecept.conf.js.

- browser: 'chrome' OR 'firefox', 'chrome' is default value

```js
helpers: {
        Puppeteer: {
            browser: process.env.BROWSER || 'firefox',
            url: process.env.BASE_URL || 'https://example.com',
            chrome: {
                args: [
                    '--ignore-certificate-errors',
                ],
            },
            firefox: {
                args: [
                    '--ignore-certificate-errors'
                ],
            },
        },
```

Deconstructable trees Pulping trees for paper could one day take much less energy due to a genetic modification process involving a gene from a Chinese medicinal herb.
The gene modifies plant lignin, a type to reinforcement in cell walls, so it is more easily broken down by industrial chemicals, says Professor John Ralph, a biochemist at the US Department of Energy's Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center.
Ralph and colleagues report their research today's issue of Science.
Lignin is a polymer that together with cellulose forms the strength of plant cell walls and is responsible for wood's strength.
When plants are processed to produce paper the lignin must be dissolved away by being broken down into smaller pieces. This leaves the pure cellulose from which paper is made.
"The problem is to cleave the lignin up you have to break some bonds in its backbone," says Ralph. "And the easiest bonds to break still take about two hours at 170°C in 1-molar caustic soda, or at 200°C in acid. So it's very hard to break those bonds."
In earlier research, Ralph and colleagues showed in-vitro that if you altered the structure of the lignin backbone you could more easily break up the polymer.
"We would like lignin to fall apart chemically really easily so we redesigned the polymer to be more easily degradable," says Ralph.
To do this the researchers added monomers with ester linkages to the lignin backbone.
"Esters break at room temperature in caustic soda, says Ralph.
Now, he and colleagues have created actual poplar trees that contain this modified lignin - plants they say are "designed for deconstruction".
"We have now demonstrated that we can really do it in real plants," says Ralph.
The first step was to find a gene for an enzyme that would make the new monomers, says Ralph.
He and colleagues found such an enzyme being produced naturally in the roots of a medicinal herb called Chinese angelica (Angelica sinensis), which is used to treat gynaecological issues.
The enzyme the produces monomers with ester linkages as a defence compound, not for making lignin, says Ralph.
He and colleagues identified the gene responsible for the enzyme and then engineered it into poplar trees.
The researchers used a promoter sequence that ensured the gene would only be expressed in the lignin-producing cells of the plant.
And when the successfully-engineered trees were a year old, they were then cut down and tested for the presence of the modified lignin.
The researchers then ground up the wood and found the lignin was easier to break down.
In an industrial setting, this would means less time or lower temperatures, and ultimately, less energy, would be required to make paper, says Ralph.
And having more easily destructible lignin also stands to help the biofuels industry, he adds.
Ralph says the modified plants look no different from the wild type.
He says it is unlikely the modification would have an impact on the way microbes break down lignin.
"The way plants degrade naturally is very different to how we degrade them chemically."
And Ralph says the esters are "biologically stable" even though they fall apart really easily with strong chemicals, so it is also unlikely the modification would impact on the strength of the growing tree.
Field trials would be needed to confirm these assumptions, he adds.
The researchers hope to engineer the lignin-modifying gene from Chinese angelica into biofuel crops other than poplars, as well as into other tree species used in paper-making, especially softwoods.


Private equity real estate investors remain reluctant to jump into Opportunity Zone plays, according to the latest research from London-based firm Preqin, which attributed the attitude to uncertainty surrounding program regulations and the inherent risk of investing in low-income and distressed neighborhoods.
Based on a survey conducted in January 2019, 51 percent of these types of investors are considering investing in Opportunity Zones over the next year. But an overwhelming majority of respondents—92 percent—were not involved in Opportunity Zone deals at the time of the survey.
Of the respondents who do plan to invest in Opportunity Zones over the next 12 months, 66 percent are planning to target only one fund pursuing that strategy, with another 27 percent looking to invest in two to three funds. Only 7 percent of respondents foresee targeting four or more funds for Opportunity Zones. Read more.

The frigid ice princess. One of the few who is stubborn enough to match me and Strong.
Hannah is a wonderful player. I have watched her grow in RP skill and learn more each day. She has become a big part of Celestial City and always does her best to help add color and various roles to fill out the roles the city needs. She can play heroine, civilian, villain or whatever Suki is. She is also happy to play support characters to help out with scenes. Her posts are always well written, make sense and stay true to the character. She understands what it means to play a hero and play her character heroically. Her characters always have depth and well thought out backstories. I suggest seeing if you can have some characters learn about her stories IC because a lot of depth is not know when all everyone sees is combat.
Hannah plays one of the longest active heroines, Arctica, as well as the space heroine Galaxia who played a big role in the meteor event. She is also trying to build up a mafia style crimelord Scarlett who owns the casino. And then there is....Suki. What can I say about her? Suki is okay?
Hannah has been a wonderful admin and I know that she would never do something that I would not approve of. She has no problem arguing her point of view even if it is opposed to mine but she will listen to reason. I trust her to do what is best for the sim and forum. I KNOW SHE WOULD NEVER DO SOMETHING LIKE DELETE ANY OF MY POSTS.
Hannah, stubborn? A stubborn person would do something like delete the same complimentary posts about herself a half-dozen times, just to prove a point.
She knows better than to delete anything I post.

Trust me, if you hadn't blocked me it would be deleted. Thank you so much for the kind words but I really did not want to be in this thread. I do not see what others see I guess, because I still consider my roleplay maybe a little above average at best. I do all those things and help out because I am selfish and want to have a good time. This is only possible when we have people coming to the sim. *Suki appears and knocks Hannah off the stage "Um....Suki meant to do that?" She see's the sign for the post and jumps up excited "Suki accepts because Suki is ok!" she shouts out jumping up excitedly and looks for Sexus "Suki got the key to the clitty Sexus!"

Full coverage of the Christian, Newsom case
Editor's note: The status of the user who posted the comment in question has been clarified from an earlier version of this story.
KNOXVILLE — The FBI has expanded its investigation of reported death threats against attorneys for the alleged ringleader in the torture slayings of a Knox County couple.
The News Sentinel was served Monday with a federal grand jury subpoena for information related to a comment posted in September on its Web site, knoxnews.com.
On the advice of corporate counsel, the newspaper turned over the information late Monday to FBI Special Agent Gregg Harmon.
The information is to be presented to a federal grand jury Nov. 3, according to the subpoena.
"We value and take seriously our users' privacy and do not as a normal course of business provide non-public information about our users to any third party," said Jack Lail, director of news innovation for the News Sentinel and its Web site .
"In this instance, however, we were served with a subpoena requesting very specific information as part of an ongoing investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation."
The investigation into the alleged death threats became public Oct. 16 during pre-trial motions hearings.
Attorneys Doug Trant and David Eldridge held a press conference and disclosed the threats against them and their families, saying they had been targeted by phone and by mail, which gives the FBI jurisdiction to probe the incidents.
The attorneys said they had been receiving threats for a while and only turned to the FBI when their families became targets.
After the attorneys' comments, the FBI confirmed the probe.
The comment in question was posted at 5:54 p.m. on Sept. 8. The comment was removed at 6:02 p.m. after a News Sentinel editor determined it violated Web site user guidelines, and the poster has since been banned.
"This is only the second time in the 15 years we have been operating online services that we have provided non-public information to law enforcement authorities," Lail said.
"The earlier instance several years ago involved a request by the Secret Service for information about a commenter whose comments were viewed as threatening to the life of then President George W. Bush."
The U.S. Attorney's Office asked the News Sentinel not to disclose the issuance of the latest subpoena.
"The case is of great public interest, and the subpoena involves the News Sentinel's interaction with its readers," said editor Jack McElroy. "The FBI gave us no indication of why secrecy was important to its investigation, so we are revealing the subpoena on the basis of newsworthiness and in the interest of transparency."
Final arguments are to continue today for Davidson, who is charged in the January 2007 slayings of University of Tennessee student Channon Christian, 21, and her boyfriend, Christopher Newsom, 23. Davidson faces the death penalty if convicted.
Criminal Court Judge Richard Baumgarnter heard motions in February from attorneys for two of the four suspects in the torture slayings focusing on media organizations, including the News Sentinel, allowing anonymous commentary on their Web sites,.
Citing hate-filled Web postings including death threats against them, attorney Scott Green, who, with partner Kim Parton, represents Letalvis Cobbins, asked the judge to either boot the media out of the courtroom or kick him off the case.
Attorney Tom Dillard, who, along with Steve Johnson, is representing George Thomas, asked the judge to force local media to either disable such anonymous commentary on stories pertaining to the case or require the news organizations to draft policies requiring posters to reveal their identities and do a better job of policing content.
Baumgartner declined in April to release Green from representing Cobbins, who was convicted in August and sentenced to life without parole for his role in the slayings.
The judge also opined that ordering the media to essentially censor Web sites by disallowing readers to post comments on stories related to the case was too drastic a solution, as was stripping readers of their anonymity when posting.
More details as they develop online and in Wednesday's News Sentinel.

yes, of course, but "...no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." And really, it's not the rest of our business until and unless the FBI uncovers evidence of a crime and charges the perpetrators. Then it becomes public news. Stand FIRM KNS, make them do things properly and all will be ok.

in response to tphelps:
TP...Please don't be offended that I am going to disagree with you here. I truly believe that these attorneys are enjoying the publicity and media attention that they are getting from this case and the opportunities that may possibly follow. Bringing that witness up this week to testify that she saw Chris and Channon at the Exxon or wherever, well for me, that just about checks any compassion that I may have had for them. I feel for their families, but, that tactic was dispicable. I am not in the "hate" group that has been threatening them. But, it is acts like this one that cause the unbelievable rage to come out in people. The Defense Attorneys have a job to do. That job is to bring facts to the table and argue them. Not to spin a lie into the truth like Rumpel Stilskin with his wheel spinning straw into gold.
They should be ashamed of themselves. But, they are attorneys for the accused that have so much evidence stacked against them. So, it's a no win situation unless the truth is compromised and so where is the honor in that?
shoes writes:
The FBI will get to the bottom of this, as they should.
Otoh, I don't feel any respect for these attorneys, and would welcome the opportunity to spit in their direction. That would be enough for me.
washcor writes:
Glad FBI is looking into this. I stopped for posting msgs on Knox news for a minute after some guy who disagreed with me, posted my full name. Talk about some crazy stuff. This was just before the foiled the guys who were planning on executing many African Americans. People do get way out of hand on this site. I had to get all on Knoxnews case about that.

in response to shoes:
it's these kinds of ignorant comments that are going to get you morons on a list. do you think these guys begged for this job? i'm sure they have families they go home to every day with horrific testimony from court playing in their heads. it would be an immense burden for any of us to carry. but it's a burden they agreed to shoulder when becoming attorneys. you all who have zero idea of how law works think these guys should just be able to say "pass" and the case goes to someone else. if that's how it worked no one would get a defense on cases like this. you make think it's disgusting, but they've got a lot more guts than you'll ever have. they know what they're doing is unpopular, yet they continue. they are doing a public service to the citizens of this state, and you want to spit on them. classy.
atlkevin writes:
Does anyone know the extent of the threat? Meaning-- was it a literal threat with specific planned actions? Just curious.
I'm glad the TKNS informed readers that they had provided the info when the FBI asked them not to. TKNS is doing the right thing.
indigo26 writes:
As much as some of you don't like it, and it is easy to let emotions get away from us when something is so violent but defendants are required to have representation. While I might not agree with their view or arguments or believe anything they are saying, I think they have a very difficult job and they do provide services for people who are actually innocent sometimes....this just is not one of those times. Many people will say why do they have to have THESE lawyers, that they are too good for Davidson, but I really think the Judge appointed these lawyers so that he could not come back and say he did not have fair representation and get a new trial. Could be wrong but that is my thought. Most people on here are respectful for the most part and while sometimes things get heated which is to be expected when people ate so passionate about their feelings there is no excuse for threats of any kind.
DavidHabercom writes:
When people post comments, why do they hide their identities?
Do you understand the extent of how ridiculous your post is? The entire topic of the story is threats to the attorneys, and then you say you want to spit on them?
Did you fail reading comprehension in school, or are you just plain ignorant?
ScottB (staff) writes:
in response to PJHarvey:
The second sentence of the article clearly states that KNS was served with a federal grand jury subpoena.
chester (staff) writes:
As noted in the second paragraph of the story, the subpoena was issued by a federal grand jury. It was delivered by an FBI agent.
in response to DancingOutlaw:
Speak for yourself, DancingOutlaw. You're one of the bigger morons I see.
I don't care whether these guys begged for this job or not, they and they alone decided how to perform it. Unlike the attorneys in the last case, they CHOSE to vilify the victims, and imho crossed the line.
It's not just the job you do - it's how you do it. All is NOT fair.
in response to atlkevin:
I don't think they'll die of being spit at, atlkevin. At most they'll get their feelings hurt, if they even have any.

I understand freedom of speech issues, but this culture of being able to post hate items, and just plain mean and nasty talk creates negative energy. Years ago people would talk openly about their views and stand up for what they believe in, now they can be vile and hide behind a shield created by news outlets to up their own viewers. I'm glad this may dampen such talk in the future. I know these particular incidents were horrible, to say the least, but why do we have to continue to exploit them to gain viewers
pdowned writes:
I hope this makes the News-Sentinel rethink the whole "comment board" concept. The supposed anonynmity of these boards, on many different web sites, has led to an unbelievable level of irrational discourse on just about every subject out there. Small people who feel they have no voice like to act big and bad on a comment board, but would never have the same discussion with their neighbor for fear of getting a punch in the face. Therefore, hopefully KNS follows other organizations that have realized the lunacy of hosting comments to their stories. It doesn't drive ad revenue, it only causes the same repeat losers to linger on the site for endless hours.
Warbox writes:
in response to The_Original_Maverick:
There should be no anonymity when it involves any type of personal threat.
in response to pdowned:
The whole point of the board is to allow other people's opinions to be seen. I don't care if you think it's irrational. It's called free speech. Just because someone has a different view than you, doesn't make it a bad thing.
You know what really gets old here? It's when people don't respect other people's opinions because they are different from their own. And pdowned if you don't like the board there is a whole wide world web out there for you to go explore. See ya, bye, no one will miss you.
And yes this comes from a person that is not afraid to confront anyone. (-;
Well obviously. tee-hee
Way to go pointing that out.
EaTn writes:
in response to legalease:
Along with freedom of speech goes the responsibility to not make libelous and unlawful comments. Those who think the internet is anonymous are kidding themselves. I'm sure the authorities could have found out the name of the commenter without a subpoena to KNS.

Anonymous message boards, in general, are the sewer of the Internet. Look at a message board such as this, or Craigslist, sites like that. People need to be accountable and I'm glad the FBI will be talking to these people. It seems (especially in comments about our elected officials) people want to push the envelope in how far they can cleverly word it W/O actually saying "I want to __ him".
it's a death penalty case. meaning a conviction of death gets an automatic appeal. and if the appeals process can prove that the defense attorneys sandbagged, didn't try to defend the accused, should have presented this or that, refuted this, etc. guess what? the conviction will be overturned due to incompetent counsel. and we'll be back where we started. more grief for the families, more ranting on here. and i'm sure you'd be one of the first to spew hatred of the defense attorneys for doing a lousy job and secretly wanting to get davidson off. yet if they did what you wanted them to do that's what the outcome is going to be. they have a DUTY to defend this client to the best of their abilities. to do otherwise is to have a make believe predetermined trial. you'll have your day in court but the verdict's already been decided and your attorney won't defend you. does that sounds like a legal system you want to be subject to?
in response to Boomboxx:
Either your name is really boomboxx or you have just crawled into the sewer with the rest of us.
I prefer the anonymity of the boards. Some news outlets preview comments prior to posting them and I don't much like that.
I would hope that if a person was seriously interested in a topic,they would at least put some intelligent thought into their comments.
Perhaps a cure would be for the KNS to simply ban those found to be not in line with the user agreement.
The only thing that I find it dificult to keep in line with is the frequent comments that I and many others make when we wander off topic.

Speaking of inflamatory and defaming remarks, can these lawyers defending this scum be sued by the parents for defamation of character? After the BS spewed in the closing arguments about Ms Christianson being a habitual drug abuser, which the tox reports refute, I would say her parents may want to look into some sort of legal action on behalf of their child. The victims have been dragged through so much mud in this case, it would only seem right that the trash defending this scum get some on them.

No, "they alone" do not decide how to do their job. In fact, they have very LITTLE say in it. The client tells them the defense they want to take. The attorneys can inform the client that they believe the particular defense is weak, inadvisable, etc. But the client decides, not the attorneys. And if there WAS disagreement, and the attorneys fought HARD with their client, but to no avail, they are not allowed to reveal that, as it falls within attorney-client priviledge.
So basically, they have to plead the way their client tells them to plead, and they're not even allowed to reveal how hard they fought their client on that.

MARSTON HISTORY
J. R. R. Tolkien (1892–1973)
John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born in the Orange Free State on 3 January 1892, but his widowed mother brought him back to Birmingham as a child.
He went up to Exeter College, Oxford in 1910, and returned to Oxford briefly after the First World War to work for the Oxford English Dictionary, and then in 1920 took up an academic appointment at the University of Leeds.
In 1925 he was appointed Professor of Anglo-Saxon at the University of Oxford, attached to Pembroke College, and in January 1926 he moved with his family to 22 Northmoor Road in Oxford. In January 1930 they moved next door to 20 Northmoor Road, and the house has a blue plaque. In 1937 he wrote The Hobbit there.
In 1945 Tolkien was appointed to the Merton Chair of English language and literature (which he held until his retirement in 1959). He moved out of 20 Northmoor Road in about 1947, and in 1949 he was living at 3 Manor Road. In about May 1950 he moved with his family to 99 Holywell Street.
In 1953 he moved to 76 Sandfield Road, Headington (below), where he lived from 1953 to 1968.
Tolkien worked in the garage on the left of this photograph, and over its door there is this inscribed Portland stone plaque, which was carved in the 1970s by Bill Brown of Kidlington for the then owner, Mr Phillips.
The following books in the Lord of the Rings series were published while Tolkien lived in this house:
The Fellowship of the Ring (1954)
The Two Towers (1954)
The Return of the King (1955)
He was a Roman Catholic, and while living in Sandfield Road worshipped at St Anthony of Padua Church in Headley Way.
In 1968, the attentions of the fans of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings at his home at 76 Sandfield Road drove Tolkien to flee from Headington to Bournemouth.
After the death of his wife on 29 November 1971 he returned to Oxford to live in rooms provided by Merton College.
Tolkien died while paying a visit to a friend back in Bournemouth on 2 September 1973 and was buried in his wife's grave at Wolvercote Cemetery in Oxford. A requiem mass was held for him at St Anthony of Padua Church on 6 September 1973.

Our Handbook / The Ego and Our Own by Vanoc II
1845-1945, 1946-Today, Book, Historical Work, Journals, Max Stirner, Trevor Blake / Wednesday, October 19th, 2016
I first heard of Vanoc II from a newspaper clipping laid into a second-hand copy of The Ego and His Own by Max Stirner (New York: Modern Library 1919). Vanoc II's view is based on the irrefutable argument that if we all got along, we'd all get along. In researching Vanoc II I found no evidence that he did his best work for the betterment of all of humanity instead of for pay, and so perhaps the burden of modern capitalism falls entirely upon him. The argument for socialism, as usual, consists of "let's all share – you go first." I am glad for all who consider Stirner's ideas, including those who reject them. This most thoughtful of audiences is often led to buy my books.
The newspaper clipping transcribed below does not include its source, but it is likely to be The Sunday Referee where Vanoc II had a regular column. The clipping is not dated, but is likely to have been published between 1925 (when Vanoc I died) and 1939 (when The Sunday Referee was absorbed into The Sunday Chronicle). The economist mentioned in the clipping is Wesley Mitchell, known for his book The Business Cycle (1913). Vanoc II's quotation from The Ego and His Own is not identical to Stephen Byington's translation. I do not know if if Vanoc II is paraphrasing or if he made his own translation, and I do not say the differences change the meaning of the text, but I note the two are not identical. The quote is found in Part Two (I), Section II (The Owner), Sub-Section I (My Power). – Trevor Blake
The philosopher who airily exhorted men to know themselves did not condescend to point out a path to such knowledge. To know thyself is indeed easier said than done; and only by the dialectic of materialism is it possible to clear a way for an approach to the problem.
We may at once, therefore, strip this artichoke of its ideal leaves of delusion and see if there is a workable truth in the pith.
It is certain that at the beginning of his life the individual regards the subjective perspective into which he is accidentally born as objectively valid. In other words, he accepts the evidence of his imperfect senses and his limited experience.
This is true of peoples as well as individuals. Only through bitter experience does [sic?] a people learn that it is not the centre of mankind. It has taken thousands of years of physical science to prove to the satisfaction of a comparatively small number of individuals that the earth is not the centre of the universe.
Yet in spite of broadened experience and developed senses it is still terribly difficult for even an acute individual to discover his right place in the world.
The child judges everything that falls with in its orbit only in relation to its own desires, its own pleasures, its own pains; for these things are the only things that it experiences directly.
This infantile attitude persists in the majority of men unto the end of their lives. No doubt it is true that every man in the course of time adapts himself to the limitations imposed by social life; but this sort of education can be carried out in two very different ways.
On the one hand, the individual learns only that there are powers in the world – irresistible powers which compel him to restrain himself. He is gradually able to distinguish what he may do from what he may not do. This educational form applies also to animals; and it is no exaggeration to say that most men in the first years of their lives are only just tamed.
Such is a typical result of the efforts of strict parents who educate without reasoning, and under this category falls the idyllic rural custom, which is still alive in certain parts of Europe, of making fractious children drowsy with poppy seeds. When I was a small boy many English mothers calmed their squealing babies with rubber comforters dipped in tincture of opium. Damage to the health of the children was payment for an escape from their troublesome liveliness.
This is the way of the unthinking world: one curses symptoms.
The proper kind of education, on the other hand, consists not only in bringing the child to act in the desired manner, but to think in the desired manner; to let it feel and understand that there are other individuals with equally justifiable wishes and rights, and that all the limitations of the individual follow necessarily and sensibly out of the collision of the spheres of interest.
He who has acquired the necessary knowledge and feeling that he lives as one among many will not demand more than his due; but the man who is only tamed will naturally always be on the alert to squeeze as much as possible for himself out of others.
There is a certain piquancy in the fact that we owe the most consistent propagation of might in opposition to the standpoint of right to a one-time teacher in a girls' school – the celebrated Max Stirner.
In Der Einzige und sein Eigentum (The Ego and His Own) he sets forth the following proposition:
I decide what is right for me: outside of me there is no right. Is it right for me, then it is right. It may be that on this account it is not right for others; that is their concern, not mine; let them defend themselves. And were something not right for the whole world, but right for me – i.e., I wanted it, then I would not trouble about the whole world. Thus does everyone who knows how to esteem himself, everyone in the degree that he is also an egoist, for might precedes right, and, indeed – rightly so.
Let us look at the school – the place where, I like to think, Stirner spent his time in trying to manufacture co-operators from egoists.
We know from painful experience that the objective of the class cannot be attained with principles which underlie Stirner's proposition. But if in place of co-operation enforced from the lecture desk there stepped the natural feeling that in the work of the school the common interests of teacher and scholar interlock, then all limitations of ego would appear as useful and needed, and the step down from the lecture desk to the scholar's desk would be superfluous.
But where conflict prevails, barricades are necessary.
In school one could learn that the necessity to adapt oneself does not spring, as Stirner believed, from regard for the idolatrous dogma of a consecrated right, but that adaption is practical and useful.
Yet school is commonly a battlefield on which one seeks to gain as easy a victory as possible by means of deception and cunning and the minimum amount of work.
When the ex-scholar enters the workshop of life, he finds that school has, in fact, fittingly prepared him. His experiences in the academic trenches, which he gathered in the course of a full decade's war against the tutorial foe, stand him in good stead in the fight of greed and grab.
Our practice of remunerating human labour necessarily leads to an egoistic view of the world. The employee's consciousness that he does useful work for the community is disturbed by the fact that he works at the same time for the profit of his employer, in whose enrichment he has no interest and whose contribution to the social labour process is too small.
From this arises a truly frightful state of affairs. The fine impulse to do work as well as possible, which resides in every normal being, impresses the wage worker to-day as foolish and vain.
A critical survey of the position is almost certain to kill love for work for its own sake, and ultimately the questioning worker too often resolves to do as little work as possible for the largest possible amount of money.
For he has grasped what the American economist, Mitchell, has formulated in the words: "Considered from a business point of view, the goods produced and essential to life are nothing more than incidental to the distribution of dividends."
This shifting of the centre of gravity from products to profits results quite spontaneously also among small independent producers.
When, for instance, a watchmaker buys a pair of shoes, the shoemakers sells his goods to a man in whom he has no personal interest. If he made those shoes for himself, or for his wife, he would put his best work into the job; but the strange watchmaker is on an altogether different footing; he merely pays.
That the buyer, however, has a claim to the shoes not because he brings money, but because he on his part makes watches for the community, is a matter of which there is but a dim general consciousness, owing to contemporary economic relations.
The watchmaker goes to the shoemaker not to obtain good work as remuneration for good work, but solely as a customer in whom there is no interest beyond that of selling the cheapest possible work for the highest price.
If man's needs were completely separated economically from that which he supplies – if the shoemaker had his livelihood gratis and at the same time the time the task of supplying shoes gratis – there would be a clear connection in which every person provided is at once the provider of the providers and vitally interested in good work.
Our method of individually remunerating the work done by individuals falsifies what is a part-process, within a great mechanism, into a self-contained individual process. Egoistic business principles follow of necessity.
Thus the co-operative organisation of the human community is converted into a system of mutually conflicting egoisms. And the impulse to supply good work is perverted through the correct business principle that an astute business man does not give away more than is specifically demanded.
Our methods of work urge to egoism, and it is just because of this that our official moral urges so fervently to self-denial. One ought to make sacrifices, to serve one's neighbour, and to become selfless. Thus is disharmony balanced by disharmony. Tolstoy enters the list against Stirner.
The two conceptions, egoism and altruism, are thereby made worthy of one another. They are both equally awry because they are based on the senseless antithesis of I and not-I.
He who is only there for himself, and he who only wants to be there for others, do not know themselves.
Nor do they know that in ethics the important thing is to balance the needs of men, to start out from the human community as a whole, and thus ascertain the function of every part of the whole.

OT Reading – January 16
Daniel 7-8
Vision of the Four Beasts
7 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel saw a dream and visions in his mind as he lay on his bed; then he wrote the dream down and related the following summary of it. 2 Daniel said, "I was looking in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of heaven were stirring up the great sea. 3 And four great beasts were coming up from the sea, different from one another. 4 The first was like a lion and had the wings of an eagle. I kept looking until its wings were plucked, and it was lifted up from the ground and made to stand on two feet like a man; a human mind also was given to it. 5 And behold, another beast, a second one, resembling a bear. And it was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth; and thus they said to it, 'Arise, devour much meat!' 6 After this I kept looking, and behold, another one, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird; the beast also had four heads, and dominion was given to it.7 After this I kept looking in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrifying and extremely strong; and it had large iron teeth. It devoured and crushed and trampled down the remainder with its feet; and it was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns. 8 While I was contemplating the horns, behold, another horn, a little one, came up among them, and three of the first horns were pulled out by the roots before it; and behold, this horn possessed eyes like the eyes of a man and a mouth uttering great boasts.
The Ancient of Days Reigns
9 "I kept looking Until thrones were set up, And the Ancient of Days took His seat; His vesture was like white snow And the hair of His head like pure wool. His throne was ablaze with flames, Its wheels were a burning fire. 10 "A river of fire was flowing And coming out from before Him; Thousands upon thousands were attending Him, And myriads upon myriads were standing before Him; The court sat, And the books were opened.
11 Then I kept looking because of the sound of the boastful words which the horn was speaking; I kept looking until the beast was slain, and its body was destroyed and given to the burning fire. 12 As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away, but an extension of life was granted to them for an appointed period of time.
The Son of Man Presented
13 "I kept looking in the night visions, And behold, with the clouds of heaven One like a Son of Man was coming, And He came up to the Ancient of Days And was presented before Him. 14 "And to Him was given dominion, Glory and a kingdom, That all the peoples, nations and men of every language Might serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion Which will not pass away; And His kingdom is one Which will not be destroyed.
The Vision Interpreted
15 "As for me, Daniel, my spirit was distressed within me, and the visions in my mind kept alarming me. 16 I approached one of those who were standing by and began asking him the exact meaning of all this. So he told me and made known to me the interpretation of these things: 17 'These great beasts, which are four in number, are four kings who will arise from the earth. 18 But the saints of the Highest One will receive the kingdom and possess the kingdom forever, for all ages to come.'
19 "Then I desired to know the exact meaning of the fourth beast, which was different from all the others, exceedingly dreadful, with its teeth of iron and its claws of bronze, and which devoured, crushed and trampled down the remainder with its feet, 20 and the meaning of the ten horns that were on its head and the other horn which came up, and before which three of them fell, namely, that horn which had eyes and a mouth uttering great boasts and which was larger in appearance than its associates. 21 I kept looking, and that horn was waging war with the saints and overpowering them 22 until the Ancient of Days came and judgment was passed in favor of the saints of the Highest One, and the time arrived when the saints took possession of the kingdom.
23 "Thus he said: 'The fourth beast will be a fourth kingdom on the earth, which will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth and tread it down and crush it. 24 As for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings will arise; and another will arise after them, and he will be different from the previous ones and will subdue three kings. 25 He will speak out against the Most High and wear down the saints of the Highest One, and he will intend to make alterations in times and in law; and they will be given into his hand for a time, times, and half a time. 26 But the court will sit for judgment, and his dominion will be taken away, annihilated and destroyed forever. 27 Then the sovereignty, the dominion and the greatness of all the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be given to the people of the saints of the Highest One; His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all the dominions will serve and obey Him.'
28 "At this point the revelation ended. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts were greatly alarming me and my face grew pale, but I kept the matter to myself."
Vision of the Ram and Goat
8 In the third year of the reign of Belshazzar the king a vision appeared to me, Daniel, subsequent to the one which appeared to me previously. 2 I looked in the vision, and while I was looking I was in the citadel of Susa, which is in the province of Elam; and I looked in the vision and I myself was beside the Ulai Canal. 3 Then I lifted my eyes and looked, and behold, a ram which had two horns was standing in front of the canal. Now the two horns were long, but one was longer than the other, with the longer one coming up last. 4 I saw the ram butting westward, northward, and southward, and no other beasts could stand before him nor was there anyone to rescue from his power, but he did as he pleased and magnified himself.
5 While I was observing, behold, a male goat was coming from the west over the surface of the whole earth without touching the ground; and the goat had a conspicuous horn between his eyes. 6 He came up to the ram that had the two horns, which I had seen standing in front of the canal, and rushed at him in his mighty wrath. 7 I saw him come beside the ram, and he was enraged at him; and he struck the ram and shattered his two horns, and the ram had no strength to withstand him. So he hurled him to the ground and trampled on him, and there was none to rescue the ram from his power. 8 Then the male goat magnified himself exceedingly. But as soon as he was mighty, the large horn was broken; and in its place there came up four conspicuous horns toward the four winds of heaven.
9 Out of one of them came forth a rather small horn which grew exceedingly great toward the south, toward the east, and toward the Beautiful Land. 10 It grew up to the host of heaven and caused some of the host and some of the stars to fall to the earth, and it trampled them down. 11 It even magnified itself to be equal with the Commander of the host; and it removed the regular sacrifice from Him, and the place of His sanctuary was thrown down. 12 And on account of transgression the host will be given over to the horn along with the regular sacrifice; and it will fling truth to the ground and perform its will and prosper. 13 Then I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one said to that particular one who was speaking, "How long will the vision about the regular sacrifice apply, while the transgression causes horror, so as to allow both the holy place and the host to be trampled?" 14 He said to me, "For 2,300 evenings and mornings; then the holy place will be properly restored."
Interpretation of the Vision
15 When I, Daniel, had seen the vision, I sought to understand it; and behold, standing before me was one who looked like a man. 16 And I heard the voice of a man between the banks of Ulai, and he called out and said, "Gabriel, give this man an understanding of the vision." 17 So he came near to where I was standing, and when he came I was frightened and fell on my face; but he said to me, "Son of man, understand that the vision pertains to the time of the end."
18 Now while he was talking with me, I sank into a deep sleep with my face to the ground; but he touched me and made me stand upright. 19 He said, "Behold, I am going to let you know what will occur at the final period of the indignation, for it pertains to the appointed time of the end.
The Ram's Identity
20 The ram which you saw with the two horns represents the kings of Media and Persia.
21 The shaggy goat represents the kingdom of Greece, and the large horn that is between his eyes is the first king. 22 The broken horn and the four horns that arose in its place represent four kingdoms which will arise from his nation, although not with his power.
23 "In the latter period of their rule, When the transgressors have run their course, A king will arise, Insolent and skilled in intrigue. 24 "His power will be mighty, but not by his own power, And he will destroy to an extraordinary degree And prosper and perform his will; He will destroy mighty men and the holy people. 25 "And through his shrewdness He will cause deceit to succeed by his influence; And he will magnify himself in his heart, And he will destroy many while they are at ease. He will even oppose the Prince of princes, But he will be broken without human agency. 26 "The vision of the evenings and mornings Which has been told is true; But keep the vision secret, For it pertains to many days in the future."
27 Then I, Daniel, was exhausted and sick for days. Then I got up again and carried on the king's business; but I was astounded at the vision, and there was none to explain it.

This is a story of a fictional lake, a tribute to the lakes that have disappeared. Some of them, once centres of life, are no longer remembered.
Sometimes, when one is moving silently through such an utterly desolate landscape, an overwhelming hallucination can make one feel that oneself, as an individual human being, is slowly being unraveled.

Minnehaha is Spokane's oldest and most popular area Located on the northeast edge of the city, the area offers an assortment of short (20'-80') routes on featured granite generally ranging from 5.4 to easy 5.12, as well as a nice circuit boulder problems. There are relatively few pure crack climbs and few true sport routes. Many routes offer sporadic and sometimes marginal protection. As a result, toproping is popular at Minnehaha. There is a good assortment of moderate bouldering in the park, along with a few difficult problems including the classic Smokey on Fire V8.
Climbing at Minnehaha dates back to at least the 1950s. In the early 1970s, well-known alpinist John Roskelly began establishing a bevy of routes, including some that are now rated 5.11.
Minnehaha has been the centerpiece of climber activism in Spokane. Climbers were active in the effort to turn the area into what is now John H. Shields Park. More recently, ambitious graffiti removal projects sponsored by the Spokane Mountaineers have changed the face of Minnehaha and greatly improved its appeal.
Minnehaha (John H. Shields Park) is owned and managed by Spokane County Parks & Recreation.
No access or enviornmental concerns are noted.

This is an implementation of Thud!, a boardgame by Trevor Truran, first published in 2002, inspired by the Discworld novels.

It aims to offer both backwards compatibility with the existing Thud! application while adding new features such as drag-n-drop interface, computer opponents (AI) and support for all available rulesets including Koom Valley Thud!.

This app runs on Python3 and has one additional dependencies, tkinter.  Often, Linux distros provide this as an installable package, e.g., `python3-tkinter`.

Run the game interactively:
`python3 gui.py`

Alternatively, `console.py` can be used to select the next move based on provided gamestate and does not use the GUI. This allows for easy access to AI opponent choices across different platforms. Save an in-progress game from the GUI to see expected formatting and game notation.
