I have been interviewed on the site "La Bobina Sonora" which is dedicated to the spanish and latin america audio community. I thought it would be interesting to translate the interview into english in case you want to have a look. There are some insights into my career history, the way I approach sound design and mixing and the projects I was working on at the time (October 2018). So, here we go!
LA BOBINA SONORA: Before starting with the interview, I just wanted to thank you for your presence here at labobinasonora.net.
JAVIER ZUMER: Thanks you for the invitation, I've been reading the blog for years and I'm happy to be able to contribute.
LBS: You are currently based in Ireland, where you do most of your work. It's interesting to ask, which are the main differences in the audio industry between Ireland and Spain?
JAVIER: The main difference is that Ireland is a country that enjoys a better economical situation. This brings more stability and specialization to the profession.
Having said that, Ireland is an interesting example because it shares some similarities with Spain. Both countries went under during the economic crisis (both with a property bubble). Also, both live under other countries shadows like the UK, France or the US since these have a more mature and stablished industry.
LBS: How are audio professionals treated by the Irish industry? Do any kind of associations or unions exist?
JAVIER: Personally, my experience has being positive. Maybe sound doesn't get as much love and attention as other departments (that's kind of universal since we are visual creatures) but in my environment I usually have the time and resources needed to get the job done.
About associations, I am not aware of them but if they do exist they are probably based in Dublin since the industry is mostly located there. (I'm currently in Galway).
LBS: Those who work on this amazing profession usually share an appreciation for cinema, music and even other arts. Which were the main reasons for you to end up building sonic worlds? Maybe your experience in music production brought you there?
JAVIER: Like many other people, the thing that made me consider and appreciate sound was music. Reason was the first audio software that I used in depth and that was when I dropped out of college to study audio.
I still think Reason is a very unique starting point since its design imitates real hardware and it gave me my first notions of how the audio signal flows.
Later, I started to be more interested in audio for cinema and games. I think they offer a great balance of artistic and technical challenges.
LBS: At the start of your career you were getting some experience with music recording and mixing at Mundo Sinfónico. How do you think this time helped you in your career?
JAVIER: Mundo sinfónico was my first professional audio experience. Héctor Pérez, who owns the place, was kind enough to let me join on some projects during recording and mixing.
During that time I learned a lot about using microphones, Pro Tools, and other software. It was pretty much like discovering how all these things are used in the real world and in real applications. At this time, I also started to learn how to to face a mix.
LBS: So, how were your first steps as a sound designer?
JAVIER: At some point, I knew I needed to invest in my own gear in order to work in projects and I had to make a decision. I could either invest in music recording or in location audio gear. I decided to go for the latter since building an studio would lock me into an specific location but I could do location audio anywhere. Also, by that point audio for cinema interested me as much as music production.
With this gear I did many, many short films, some documentaries and TV stuff. Naturally, I would also work on the audio post for some of these projects and this was the way I went into sound design and mixing.
LBS: Is there any specific moment in time when you feel you made a big leap forward on your career?
JAVIER: Maybe the way I got my current job. By that time, I was living in Galway, which is quite far away from Dublin (impossible to commute). Since all the industry is really in Dublin, this was an issue if I wanted to get work but those days I was just working on freelance projects here are there.
One day, I decided that it would be cool to find people in my city interested in going out and record sound effects. I sent some emails to local audio folks and one of them was Ciarán Ó Tuairisc, who was the head of sound for Telegael, a company that was super close, like a 5 minute drive from my place.
I went there to meet him and see the place and he gave me some episodes so I could do a sound design test. Some days later, I came back with the results and I was offer a job there. I was maybe expecting that they will consider me for freelance work at best but the whole thing was kind of a job interview where I was successful with no need for a CV or a tie.
LBS: What are your main goals when facing a sound design project? Which of them are esential to your workflow?
JAVIER: When doing sound design I like to first do a basic coverage pass. Just have a sound for every obvious thing without taking much time with each. Once this is done, the real job begins when you start thinking about how the sounds you already have work together and which ones are important enough to spend more time and thought on them.
LBS: When crafting a sonic world, which are the processes (artistic or technical) that deserve the most attention and detail?
JAVIER: The elements that drive the story forward defintely deserve the most attention. Also is very important to give detail to any element that helps with world building.
If the story takes place in a special place or there is a relevant object is important to think how these should sound like. Of course, ideally this should work on subconcious level for the viewer.
LBS: Talking now about all the different processes that build a sonic world (dialogue editing, ambients/fx, foley, mixing…), which is the hardest for you and which one do you enjoy the most?
JAVIER: Probably foley is where I am the least confortable. It is a true art that requieres experience, coordination and sensitivity to get it right. I don´t have a lot of experience doing it and I am not into the physical part of the job although I know that that appeals to other people.
The process I enjoy the most is mixing since this is when all elements come together to create a cohesive whole that moves towards the same artistic direction.
LBS: Do you usually think about mixing when doing sound design? Do you use sub-mixes or pre-mixes on certain elements? Or do you prefer to start the mix completely from scratch?
JAVIER: It depends on the situation. When I´m just doing sound design I try to give the mixer as much control and options as possible so I don´t usually do sub-mixes although sometimes they makes sense.
If I´m mxing and also doing sound design I tend to pre-mix things as I go and even apply some EQ or compression here and there on elements that I know are going to need it. For this, clip effecs on Pro-Tools are great.
LBS: Talking about something omnipresent and unavoidable like technology, which is the gear you usually use when doing editing, sound design and mixing?.
JAVIER: I use a Pro Tools Ultimate rig with a S6 M10 desk. In terms of software, I use the usual stuff, most of my plugins are either from Avid or from Waves. For dialogue editing, Izotope RX is a must.
LBS: Which was your last technological discover that improved your workflow the most?
JAVIER: Probably Soundly, although this wasn´t that recent. It is a library management software that maybe doesn´t offer as many features as Soundminer but I think is a great option. It is more affordable (in the short term) and also offers online libraries that are kept updated and growing. It offers more than enough metadata capabilities and good integration with Pro Tools.
LBS: A big portion of your work is focused on an area that is maybe a little unkwnown for some of us but very important and clearly rising in relevance. How did you get into video game sound design?
JAVIER: I grew up playing games and this was always an area that interested me when I got into sound design.
One day I saw an ad for a crowdfunding from a spanish game, Unepic. They were looking for some money to record some voice acting and I emailed them asking them wether they would also be interested in some help with sound design. I had really no idea about how this kind of work would go and surprinsingly the were interested and we started to work together.
Six year later, Unepic has sold more than half a million copies between consoles and PC, being the first spanish indie game to get into Steam. It was a project that taught me a lot and I have kept working with its developer, Francisco Téllex de Meneses and many others since.
LBS: What are the main differences between working on video game sound design and just working on traditional media?
JAVIER: The main difference is that traditional media is linear. Once you finish a mix, it is going to be the same for all viewers, the only differentiating factor would be the reproduction system but the mix itself it would be the same forever.
On the other hand, video games are interactive so there is no mix in the traditional sense. You just give the game engine every audio asset needed and the rules that will govern how these sound are played. So the mix would be created in real time as the player intereacts with the world of the game.
The real power in video game sound design comes from the fact that you can connect audio tools with parameters and states within the game world. For example, imagine that the music and dialogue are connected to a low pass filter, a reverb and a delay and they change as your health gets lower. Or a game where you build weapons that wear out as you use them so their foley and FX become darker (via an EQ) and more distorted in the process.
I have an article on my blog with more information for someone who wants to start to do video game sound design.
LBS: Let´s talk about your work on field and SFX recording. We can find some interesting libraries on your website made by you, some of them dedicated to something you call "audio explorations".
How important is field and SFX recording for you?
JAVIER: It´s something I consider very important beacuse once you have access to the big libraries the industry uses, you realize that there are many sounds that are over used. Once you start to hear them, they are everywhere!
So, I think is important to bring a more unique and personal approach to sound design. Also, when you record and create your own sound effects you force yourself to be more adventurous and to experiment with thechniques and ideas.
LBS: How do you usually plan a field recording session? Are they done within the context of a larger project or do you plan free sessions just to experiment and play around?
JAVIER: This is something I´ve been thinking about for a long time. On one hand, when something specific is needed, I just go out to get it. But with time I have been thinking that in those cases is not very convenient to explore and record interesting stuff since you have deadlines and many other things to work on.
As a solution, I´ve been going on what I call "explorations". I just pick a technique, prop, place or software and I try to create interesting stuff while trying to learn how it works. I´ve been blogging about them and also releasing free mini-libraries with the results.
LBS: Any particular piece of advice to keep in mind when doing field recording?
JAVIER: At the begining of every take, always explain what your are doing with your own voice. Take videos and picture if you can. I guarantee you won´t remember everything you where doing later when you are editing.
LBS: What kind of gear (recorder, microphones…) and techniques do you usually use when doing filed recording?
JAVIER: Nothing too special or obscure. I use a Tascam HD-P2 that works great after seven years of use and is able to record at 192 kHz although it only has two pre-amps so sometimes I need other recorders as a reinforcement. The microphones I use are a 416, Oktava 012, Rode NT4, SM57, Sanken COS-11D and some more exotic mics from JRF (hydrophone, contact mic and a coil pick up).
LBS: Which project would you consider a highlight on your career in terms technical or artistic merit?
JAVIER: Recently, I have worked on the sound design and a good portion of the mix for a documentary series about the lighthouses of Ireland that was premiered on RTE (the irish BBC).
It was a very interesting project with beautiful helicopter footage. I needed to recreate the audio for 200 minutes of aerial shots so loads of waves, wind, storms, seagulls and things like that. I tried to give each location and lighthouse its own personality and sound. Some of them are really astonishing and true masterpieces of engineering while others are situated on amazing natural locations.
I summary, one the most beautiful projects I have had the chance of working on.
LBS: Is there any cool anecdote in your almost decade as a professional that you would like to share?
JAVIER: While I was trying to remember an anecdote I thought I could share something that happens to me from time to time and I wonder if it´s something thar other people experience too.
Some times, when I´m looking for a particular sound. I bring some audio just by chance or even by mistake and it works great just like that. I guess that when you spend many hours editing audio, these things are going to just happen from time to time but it always feels like you were touched by the goods of sound design for a moment.
LBS: Is there any project on your near future?
JAVIER: I´m about to get immersed in Drop Dead Weird, a live action comedy about three australian teenagers that move to Ireland and their parents turn into zombies. I am mixing the show, which is a co-production between Channel 7 (Australia) and RTE (Ireland).
It´s a cool crazy project with a lot of action and sound design and many people on each scene which is always a challenge in terms of dialogue editing.
LBS: To wrap thing up, any advice for someone who is mad enough to be interested in this beautiful profession?
JAVIER: When I look back at my career there is a pattern that repeats itself: I was able to make a leap forward when I was on the right place at the right time. The problem is that you never know when and where this is going to happen, for each of these moments of success I´ve had many more that just were unfruitful.
So the best way to go then is to be persistant and throw as many seeds to the air as possible while always improving as a professional. Something will bloom.
LBS: Thanks again for your time, Javier. Best of luck on your future projects which we will keep an eye on here on labobinasonora.net.
JAVIER: Thanks to you, Óscar for having me. My pleasure.

So glad im not alone!!
My daughter is 6 1/2 She is the worst child to get dressed in the morning. Or so I thought!!! She wont wear Jeans her underwear have to be bought 2 sizes to big. She will only wear leggings her shirts can not have tags or seems. Pant can not have seems. I cut brand new shirts cause there too tight around her neck. She prefers v neck only. She wont wear anything that had pop out design on it. She doesn't like lace. We bought her a pair of leggings with glitter on them & she wont wear them!! Even her food habits are insane. She eats the sane thing for lunch everyday!!! I'm so stressed when it comes to buying her clothes socks shoes are even a problem!!! I can't believe she's not the only one.


When Jama Muse Jama announced ten years ago that he is holding a Book Fair in Hargeisa. I vividly remember people talking about it and each one giving a different explanation about what the book fair would be. Some said he was selling books, some assumed books would be distributed to people for free, others thought it wasa speech about books butmany had no idea at all. At the time, people attended the event curious to see what a book fair would look like and what it meant. They soon realized how big it was and the manydifferent components it contained. Hundreds of youth volunteered for the event and appreciatedthe benefits it has on society. Since then, the people of Somaliland have beenaccustomed to the Book Fair and each year experience new and enlighteningadditions.
The one unique thing about this Book Fair is that it is truly "International", the first and only international annual event that takes place in Somaliland. It brings people from all over the worldand gives them a platform to talk, exchange ideas, share moments and learn from each other. It is a typically cultural festival but who would have thought Hargeisa, of all the places, could host such an important event? This is what some of the locals do not get when it comes to the book fair, because they have never experienced an international event, they find hard to understand about all the foreigners who are attending the event and are part of the program. It will take some time and some more events for people to comprehendhow international events work elsewhere in the world.

Union General George Stannard at Gettysburg – July '96 America's Civil War Feature
by HistoryNet Staff 9/23/1996 9/28/2016
The first Vermonter to enlist in the war,
Union General George Stannard
helped turn the tide at Gettysburg.
By Anthony Buono
The third day of the Battle of Gettysburg was hot and humid. The battlefield, littered with thousands of dead and dying, bore grim testimony to the fierce fighting of the previous two days. The smell of decomposing corpses and gunpowder lingered in the air as the heaviest artillery bombardment of the Civil War ended. Then, in three lines of battle, 10,500 Confederates marched across the battlefield and surged up the gentle slope of Cemetery Ridge toward the waiting Federal troops.
On the left of the Federal line on the ridge, Brig. Gen. George Jerrison Stannard and three weary regiments of his inexperienced 2nd Vermont Brigade anxiously awaited the Confederate assault. The Rebels struck farther up the line, directly to the right of the Vermonters. Stannard, seeing this, wheeled two of his regiments around the Confederates' exposed flank. From their forward position, the nearly 1,500 men of the 13th and 16th Vermont regiments poured devastating point-blank fire into the enemy ranks. Inflicting terrible casualties and ravaging the Confederate flank, the Vermonters helped turn the tide of the battle and of the war itself. Stannard's performance that day was the high point of his distinguished career.
Stannard was born October 20, 1820, in the town of Georgia, Vermont. Educated in local schools, he worked on the family farm and taught school during winters. He later worked as a clerk and as manager of a local foundry before becoming joint proprietor in 1860. On September 26, 1850, Stannard married Emily Clark. They had four children.
Besides raising his family and working at the foundry, Stannard was a member of the state militia. He joined when he was only 16 and served as an orderly sergeant in 1837 when the Vermont militia was called out during the Canadian Insurrection. In 1857, Stannard was elected first lieutenant of a company he helped organize. A tall, bearded, slightly balding man, Stannard was a commanding character. He possessed a strong ability to lead, and was appointed colonel of the newly formed 4th Vermont Militia in 1858.
Stannard, the first Vermonter to volunteer for service in the Civil War, was appointed lieutenant colonel of the 2nd Vermont Infantry in May 1861. His regiment was sent to Washington, D.C., in June and was assigned to Colonel Oliver Otis Howard's brigade. At the Battle of First Manassas, the brigade was held back until the closing stages of the contest, when it covered the retreat of the Federal Army.
Soon after Manassas, Stannard was offered command of the 3rd Vermont Infantry. He humbly declined the position, opting instead to remain with his regiment. On October 10, 1861, the 2nd Vermont was brigaded with its sister regiments, the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th Vermont Infantry regiments, forming the famous Vermont Brigade.
Stannard and the Vermonters saw action in the Peninsula campaign in the spring of 1862. During that time, Stannard developed a reputation for courage and success. He was active in leading his regiment, as well as accompanying elements of other commands on scouting and skir-
mishing forays.
On May 21, 1862, Stannard was appointed colonel of the 9th Vermont Infantry and returned to Vermont to supervise recruitment of the unit. On July 15, the regiment began its trek south. The Vermonters arrived in Virginia a week later and were assigned to Fort Siegel, near Winchester. After the Federal defeat at the Battle of Second Manassas, the fort was threatened by a superior Confederate force and abandoned. Stannard took his men to Harpers Ferry, where they, along with 11,000 other Federal troops, were cut off when the Confederate army crossed the Potomac on September 5.
Stannard repeatedly urged the post commander, Colonel Dixon Miles, to move the garrison to a more defensible position or else attempt a breakout, but his requests were to no avail. On September 15, after two days of shelling, Miles ingloriously surrendered to Maj. Gen. Thomas J. Jackson. Upon receiving word of Miles' capitulation, Stannard attempted a breakout of his own with the 9th Vermont. He surrendered only when he was cut off as he tried to cross into Maryland. The 9th Vermont was among the last Federal troops to surrender.
The captured garrison was paroled immediately by Jackson, who was in a rush to link up with the Confederate main body. However, Stannard wished to slow down the Rebels and refused to sign his parole or that of his regiment. He made his Vermonters individually sign their paroles, thus delaying the Confederates for hours. Stannard and his men were sent to parole camp in Chicago, and were not formally exchanged until January 10, 1863. They were then assigned to guard Confederate prisoners at Camp Douglas, Ill.
On March 11, 1863, Stannard was appointed to the rank of brigadier general and given command of the 2nd Vermont Brigade, which consisted of the 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th and 16th Vermont regiments–all nine-month volunteers. Mustered into service in the fall of 1862, the brigade had seen no action except for a minor skirmish in December.
Stannard assumed command on April 20 and was warmly received by the men and officers of the brigade, all of whom were aware of his outstanding reputation. They had been very dissatisfied with their last commander, Brig. Gen. Edwin H. Stoughton, who had been captured in a daring midnight raid on his headquarters by John S. Mosby and his Confederate raiders. During the spring of 1863, Stannard's Vermonters protected the supply lines below Washington as well as the Orange & Alexandria Railroad from Bull Run to the Rappahannock River, maintaining 20 miles of picket lines and 30 miles of railroads.
On June 20, 1863, Stannard was ordered to take his brigade and join the northward-marching Army of the Potomac. Three days later, with less than a month remaining in their term of service, the Vermonters were assigned to the 3rd Division of I Corps. Stannard's footsore men covered 120 miles in just six days, and gained a day's march on the rest of the corps.
When the Battle of Gettysburg began on July 1, Stannard was ordered to rush his brigade to reinforce the embattled I Corps, leaving behind the 12th and 15th Vermont to guard supply trains. The three remaining regiments of Stannard's brigade arrived at Gettysburg in the evening, too late to see any action that day. The brigade was posted on Cemetery Ridge, with the 16th Vermont deployed as pickets and Stannard appointed as general field officer of the Federal left wing for the night.
The next morning Stannard was placed in command of the infantry support for the Union artillery batteries on the left of Cemetery Ridge. During an ensuing artillery duel, a shell burst knocked him down, but he was uninjured.
Stannard and his 2,200 men did little until late in the day, when III Corps was driven from the peach orchard by repeated Confederate assaults. The Vermonters were called upon to fill a major gap in the Union line and, with a determined charge, helped re-establish the line. The 13th Vermont then handily drove back a regiment of Confederates, saved the guns of the 5th U.S. Artillery and captured 80 Rebels. As night came, Stannard consolidated his brigade's position on Cemetery Ridge and again placed the 16th Vermont on the picket line. The Vermonters, who had performed gallantly in their first major engagement, spent the night on the battlefield.
At 4 a.m. on July 3, the picket line of the 16th Vermont was probed by Confederate infantry, and heavy skirmishing continued throughout the morning. Later, a brief exchange of artillery fire inflicted a few casualties among the Vermonters, and enemy snipers took an interest in Stannard. Bullets pierced his coat and took off a piece of his hat. At about 11 a.m., almost all firing stopped. The Confederate attack on the Federal right had failed, and for two hours an uneasy lull settled over the field.
Then, at 1:07 p.m., two enemy guns fired, signaling the opening of the greatest artillery bombardment of the war. For the next hour and 45 minutes, the Vermonters clung to the ground behind their crude breastworks as Stannard paced up and down their lines. Shot and shell whizzed over their ranks, but most of the rounds harmlessly overshot the Vermonters. The artillery then stopped, and on a front almost a mile wide, 10,500 Confederate infantrymen advanced toward the center of the Union line on Cemetery Ridge. In three lines of battle, with parade-ground order, the ensuing attack known as Pickett's Charge was an awesome sight.
The skirmishers of the 16th Vermont fired a few shots, then hastily fell back and re-formed behind the 13th Vermont. As the Confederates advanced farther toward the Federal lines, their right wing appeared to be aimed at the 14th Vermont. But as the Vermonters rose to fire, the Confederates changed direction and moved across the regiment's front to close a gap that had appeared in their line. The 14th Vermont opened fire at about 300 yards. The 13th Vermont soon added its rifles to the fire.
The Confederates advanced to within 20 yards of II Corps on Cemetery Ridge. After exchanging a few volleys, they charged with a Rebel yell. Striking the Union center hard, they charged and drove a Pennsylvania regiment from the soon-to-be-famous "Angle."
The Rebels were now concentrated to the right of the Vermonters' position. Stannard saw the tremendous opportunity presented by the situation. Despite the risk of exposing his brigade's left flank, he launched a flanking attack on the Confederates. Ordering the 13th Vermont to march right, closer to the point of the enemy attack, he directed the men to "change front forward on first company." Swinging out at an oblique angle to the Union line, the regiment opened fire at "half pistol range" on the exposed flank of the Confederates.
As the 13th Vermont moved into position, Stannard ordered the 16th Vermont to join the 13th. After the 16th Vermont was in line next to the 13th, the two regiments advanced toward the Confederates while continuing to pour deadly fire into the now-shattered butternut ranks. The enfilading cross-fire ravaged the densely packed Rebels, driving them back and crowding them toward their center.
As the Vermonters began their flanking movement, Maj. Gen. Winfield Hancock rode up to Stannard. He, too, saw the opportunity for a flank assault, but Stannard's men already were in motion when he arrived. Moments later, Hancock was shot in the groin and caught by two of Stannard's staff as he fell from his horse. Stannard used his handkerchief and revolver to make a tourniquet for the stricken general.
Meanwhile, the fighting in front of the Vermonters ended. They had devastated the Confederate right, inflicting heavy casualties and taking hundreds of prisoners as well as the colors of the 8th Virginia Infantry. Two additional Confederate brigades, sent to support Maj. Gen. George Pickett's assault, now belatedly advanced directly toward the 14th Vermont. Again the Vermonters promptly opened fire as the Rebels came into range. Stannard, waving his sword and hat, promptly sent the 16th Vermont and four companies of the 14th charging into the Rebels, capturing many additional prisoners as well as the colors of the 2nd Florida Infantry.
The Vermonters fell back to their original positions as Confederate artillery resumed fire, covering the retreat of the defeated infantry. During the final artillery barrage, a piece of shrapnel struck Stannard in the right thigh and passed down three inches into the muscle. Though the wound was extremely painful, Stannard refused to leave the field until his wounded men had been cared for and his brigade relieved.
The 2nd Vermont Brigade performed as well as veteran troops at Gettysburg, but not without loss. Of its nearly 2,400 men engaged, 342 were killed, wounded or missing.
Stannard's superiors realized the significance of his actions. Major General George Meade said, "There was no individual body of men who rendered a greater service at a critical moment then the comparatively raw troops commanded by General Stannard." Major General Abner Doubleday said: "It is to General Stannard…that the country is mainly indebted for the repulse of the enemy's charge and the final victory of July 3. [His] brilliant flank movement… greatly contributed to if it did not completely insure our final success."
The 2nd Vermont Brigade mustered out of service after Gettysburg. Stannard convalesced for a short while, and in September he was placed in charge of the defenses of New York Harbor. In May 1864, he was given command of a brigade in XVIII Corps and was wounded at Cold Harbor. Two weeks later, he led the remnants of his brigade in the initial attack on Petersburg.
On June 20, 1864, Stannard was given command of the 1st Division of XVII Corps. His 3,000 men participated in the early stages of the siege of Petersburg, where he was accidentally shot in the hand by one of his own officers.
On September 29, Stannard led his division in a early morning assault on Fort Harrison, a formidable redan in Richmond's outer defenses. Advancing over 1,400 yards of open terrain under murderous artillery fire, his men sustained heavy casualties but quickly captured the fort. Fighting for the surrounding positions continued until nightfall.
General Robert E. Lee personally supervised the preparation of the 10 brigades that counterattacked the next day. As the first wave was repelled, a wounded and captured Alabama colonel saw Stannard standing on a parapet. The Rebel officer yelled to him, "Well, you had better get out of this, General, for General Lee is over there, and he says he will retake these works if it takes half his army." Stannard replied that he would be happy to see Lee whenever he chose to call, and continued to pace the parapet waving his hat and sword.
As the next wave was repelled, a Minié bullet struck Stannard's right arm, shattering the bone and spinning him halfway around. As a result of his wound, Stannard's right arm had to be amputated at the shoulder. A third wave of Confederates also was repulsed, and the fort remained in the possession of the beleaguered Federals. The two days of fighting cost the Confederates about 2,500 men, the Federals 2,272.
Stannard returned to Vermont to recover, and received a hero's welcome. For his bravery at Fort Harrison, he was breveted major general on October 28. In December, he was appointed commander of the northern frontier of Vermont, and remained as such until the end of the war. He later served in the Freedmen's Bureau and resigned from the military on June 28, 1866.
In 1868, Stannard was appointed collector of customs for Vermont. Later he served as a doorkeeper of the U.S. House of Representatives. He died of pneumonia in Washington on June 1, 1886, and was buried in Burlington, Vt., after a tremendous state funeral.
Stannard remains one of Vermont's most distinguished soldiers of any war. The town of Stannard and Stannard Mountain are named after him. A courageous and selfless soldier who inspired his men with his coolness and presence, his actions at Gettysburg and Fort Harrison were critical to those two Federal successes and remain among the most significant contributions to the Union war effort by the brave soldiers of Vermont.

Are college students abandoning computer science too quickly?
FutureWire reports that enrollment in U.S. computer science undergraduate and graduate programs dropped by 23% in 2004, at least in part due to concern about outsourcing and downsizing.
I can't fault any college student for seriously rethinking the value of a computer science degree in light of current, and likely future, economic conditions. But "computer science" isn't monolithic. Evolutionary computation, and the skills required to excel at it, differ in many ways from "traditional" computer science. And there are good signs that evolutionary computation is finding a foothold in private industry, as indicated by recent postings here. Perhaps those new college enrollees should seek to reposition themselves within computer science, rather than jump ship completely.
But minoring in business as a hedge probably wouldn't hurt either.
Hi, Robert Plotkin!! I knew that you are linking to my blog and I'm so glad with that. :D I'm sorry for not link, so far, your blog from mine.
Your question is one example of the way in which computer automation is further separating programmers from the results produced by their programs. Whether someone could be found legally responsible in the kind of case you describe would depend on the legal claim that is brought against them. But if, for example, the programmer is sued for negligence, I think it would be hard to prove that the harm caused by the program was foreseeable to the programmer. Therefore, the programmer would have a good defense. But this is likely to play out in different ways under different circumstances. I discussed some of these issues in the "Fighting Keywords" paper that I wrote; you can find this under the "Publications" page on this web site.

Evonik starts construction of second methionine complex in Singapore
• DL-methionine in continued demand for animal nutrition
• Investment of more than half a billion euros
• Doubling the production capacity in Singapore to 300,000 metric tons per year
Essen/Singapore. Evonik Industries plans to build a second world-scale plant for the production of the amino acid DL-methionine in Singapore are fully on schedule. The company marked the official start of construction with a symbolic ground-breaking ceremony today, officiated by Tharman Shanmugaratnam, Singapore Deputy Prime Minister & Coordinating Minister for Economic and Social Policies. The complex will have an annual production capacity of 150,000 metric tons and is expected to become operational in 2019, with investment costs of more than half a billion euros. Evonik sells DL-methionine under the brand name MetAMINO®.
"Our methionine complex, which came on-stream in late 2014 on Jurong Island, is a success story. This led to our decision to build a second plant next to it," said Klaus Engel, the chairman of the Executive Board of Evonik Industries, in Singapore today. "The demand for MetAMINO® for animal nutrition is continuing to grow at a very fast rate in Asia." The new plant will not only produce methionine, but also all strategically important precursors to guarantee product quality and supply security.
"Singapore has proven an ideal location for supplying our Asian customers," said Reiner Beste, chairman of the Board of Management of Evonik Nutrition & Care GmbH. The new complex will create more than 150 jobs at the location. "We are pleased to have such qualified personnel available to us in this country," Beste continued.
The new production complex will increase Evonik's annual capacity of MetAMINO® to a total of approximately 300,000 metric tons in Asia, and to approximately 730,000 metric tons worldwide. The specialty chemicals company produces the amino acid in its world-scale plants in Antwerp (Belgium), Wesseling/Cologne (Germany), Mobile (Alabama, USA), and Singapore.
DL-methionine is an essential amino acid, which must be absorbed through feed intake. As a feed additive, it contributes to the efficient, healthy and environmentally friendly nutrition of livestock, particularly poultry and swine. That makes it an important component of ensuring a sustainable animal protein supply for the world's growing population.
Evonik has over 60 years of experience in the manufacture of essential amino acids and provides solutions for efficient and sustainable animal nutrition to customers in over one hundred countries. Evonik wants to make an even greater contribution to the efficiency of animal feed by supplementing its portfolio with innovative feed additives beyond amino acids in order to create additional value for its customers. Evonik's products and services in the area of animal nutrition play a key role worldwide in the production of healthy and affordable food, while preserving natural resources and reducing the ecological footprint.
Evonik, the creative industrial group from Germany, is one of the world leaders
in specialty chemicals. Profitable growth and a sustained increase in the value of the company form the heart of Evonik's corporate strategy. Its activities focus on the key megatrends health, nutrition, resource efficiency and globalization. Evonik benefits specifically from its innovative prowess and integrated technology platforms. Evonik is active in over 100 countries around the world. In fiscal 2015 more than 33,500 employees generated sales of around €13.5 billion and an operating profit (adjusted EBITDA) of about €2.47 billion.
Evonik Industries has been producing specialty chemical products in the Greater China region (Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan) since the late 1970's; with wide-ranging trading relations already in place prior to this in the region. Evonik regards Greater China as one of the driving forces of the global economy and we consequently endeavor to grow our business in the region. The company now has around 3,000 employees in the Greater China region, the regional sales reached over €1.3 billion in 2015.


Posts > E. Who You Are & What's Yours in Christ > Draw Comfort From The Scriptures!
It doesn't matter what you face in life, there's one place you can always draw comfort and strength—the Word of God. The Word of God is your oasis of hope, peace and fulfilment. It's your haven through the changing seasons of life. It should be your number one recourse always when you face challenges.
If ever you feel the pressures of life coming against you, the question to ask yourself is what does the Word say about this situation? Then, begin to search the Scriptures to find out what the position of God's Word concerning the case you're dealing with. Once you discover the Word that deals with that situation, begin to meditate on it and your faith will be energized. Before long, you'll walk victoriously out of that situation. That's how to draw comfort from the Scriptures.
If you're experiencing challenges at work or in any area of your life for example, you ought to read about David and how as a stripling he slew the giant Goliath. If you're a lady and perhaps you've been having difficulties conceiving, you ought to be read about women like Sarah, Hannah and Elizabeth, and begin to make your faith's confessions about how you have received your own child like they did!
Whatever it is you require an answer for, find out how God did it for someone in the Bible. It will greatly encourage your faith and position you rightly for your own miracle.
Dear Father, thank you for your Word, from which I draw comfort, encouragement and recourse through the changing seasons of life. I declare that my faith is strengthened each increased as I study your Word daily, in the Name of the Lord Jesus. Amen.

No charges filed for teens claiming to be 'with ISIS' in Hillsboro halloween scare
HPD: Two were dressed in masks and carried toy guns with orange tips removed
By David Wright - dwright@timesgazette.com
No charges were filed Thursday evening after two young men wearing masks and carrying what appeared to be real guns caused a Halloween scare near The Times-Gazette offices, the Highland County Courthouse and other uptown locations when they claimed to be with a terrorist organization, according to police.
HPD interim chief Sgt. Shawn Kelley said officers responded to the area after receiving multiple reports that the young men, one identified as an 18-year-old and the other a 15-year-old, were walking near The Times-Gazette scaring people.
According to the police log, the two were carrying bags and claimed to be "with ISIS."
Kelley said the two had airsoft guns with the orange tips removed, making them appear to be real. The guns were confiscated, Kelley said.
Both were taken to the police station and warned that charges will be filed if there are any further issues, according to Kelley.

At the Dark End of the Street: Black Women, Rape, and Resistance--A New History of the Civil Rights Movement from Rosa Parks to the Rise of Black Pow (Hardcover)
By Danielle L. McGuire
Email or call for price.
Rosa Parks was often described as a sweet and reticent elderly woman whose tired feet caused her to defy segregation on Montgomery's city buses, and whose supposedly solitary, spontaneous act sparked the 1955 bus boycott that gave birth to the civil rights movement.
The truth of who Rosa Parks was and what really lay beneath the 1955 boycott is far different from anything previously written.
In this groundbreaking and important book, Danielle McGuire writes about the rape in 1944 of a twenty-four-year-old mother and sharecropper, Recy Taylor, who strolled toward home after an evening of singing and praying at the Rock Hill Holiness Church in Abbeville, Alabama. Seven white men, armed with knives and shotguns, ordered the young woman into their green Chevrolet, raped her, and left her for dead. The president of the local NAACP branch office sent his best investigator and organizer to Abbeville. Her name was Rosa Parks. In taking on this case, Parks launched a movement that ultimately changed the world.
The author gives us the never-before-told history of how the civil rights movement began; how it was in part started in protest against the ritualistic rape of black women by white men who used economic intimidation, sexual violence, and terror to derail the freedom movement; and how those forces persisted unpunished throughout the Jim Crow era when white men assaulted black women to enforce rules of racial and economic hierarchy. Black women's protests against sexual assault and interracial rape fueled civil rights campaigns throughout the South that began during World War II and went through to the Black Power movement. The Montgomery bus boycott was the baptism, not the birth, of that struggle.
At the Dark End of the Street" describes the decades of degradation black women on the Montgomery city buses endured on their way to cook and clean for their white bosses. It reveals how Rosa Parks, by 1955 one of the most radical activists in Alabama, had had enough. There had to be a stopping place, she said, and this seemed to be the place for me to stop being pushed around. Parks refused to move from her seat on the bus, was arrested, and, with fierce activist Jo Ann Robinson, organized a one-day bus boycott.
The protest, intended to last twenty-four hours, became a yearlong struggle for dignity and justice. It broke the back of the Montgomery city bus lines and bankrupted the company.
We see how and why Rosa Parks, instead of becoming a leader of the movement she helped to start, was turned into a symbol of virtuous black womanhood, sainted and celebrated for her quiet dignity, prim demeanor, and middle-class propriety her radicalism all but erased. And we see as well how thousands of black women whose courage and fortitude helped to transform America were reduced to the footnotes of history.
"A controversial, moving, and courageous book; narrative history at its best.
Danielle L. McGuire was born in Janesville, Wisconsin. She attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and received her Ph.D. from Rutgers University. She is an assistant professor in the History Department at Wayne State University and lives in Detroit, Michigan.
"Groundbreaking . . . inspiring."
—Bliss Broyard, ELLE
"One one of those rare studies that makes a well-known story seem startlingly new. Anyone who thinks he knows the history of the modern civil rights movement needs to read this terrifying, illuminating book."
—Kevin Boyle, author of Arc of Justice: A Saga of Race, Civil Rights and Murder in the Jazz Age, winner of the National Book Award.
"McGuire restores to memory the courageous black women who dared seek legal remedy, when black women and their families faced particular hazards for doing so. McGuire brings the reader through a dark time via a painful but somehow gratifying passage in this compelling, carefully documented work."
—Publishers Weekly (starred)
"This gripping story changes the history books, giving us a revised Rosa Parks and a new civil rights story. You can't write a general U.S. history without altering crucial sentences because of McGuire's work. Masterfully narrated, At the Dark End of the Street presents a deep civil rights movement with women at the center, a narrative as poignant, painful and complicated as our own lives."
—Timothy B. Tyson, author of Blood Done Sign My Name: A True Story
"Just when we thought there couldn't possibly be anything left to uncover about the civil rights movement, Danielle McGuire finds a new facet of that endlessly prismatic struggle at the core of our national identity. By reinterpreting black liberation through the lens of organized resistance to white male sexual aggression against African-American women, McGuire ingeniously upends the white race's ultimate rationale for its violent subjugation of blacks—imputed black male sexual aggression against white women. It is an original premise, and At the Dark End of the Street delivers on it with scholarly authority and narrative polish."
—Diane McWhorter, author of Carry Me Home: Birmingham, Alabama, the Climactic Battle of the Civil Rights Revolution
"Following the lead of pioneers like Darlene Clark Hine, Danielle McGuire details the all too ignored tactic of rape of black women in the everyday practice of southern white supremacy. Just as important, she plots resistance against this outrage as an integral facet of the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s. This book is as essential as its history is infuriating."

Welcome to the end of another week! For those of you who live in the U.S. had Thanksgiving last week, I hope you were able to spend time with your families, friends, and other loved ones while being thankful for everything you do have. In Canada, we celebrate Thanksgiving in October, so we get to live through it a second time when we see everyone's social media posts.
Last week, I wrote about my experience with Cushing's recovery. I discussed what it was like to have surgery and be in the hospital, and the steps that were taken afterward. Last week's column had an error: It should have said that this week, I would discuss recovery after being in the hospital and heading home. Apologies for any confusion it may have caused!
Following my appointment with the ENT surgeon to remove the stitches and stents from my nose, I had one more follow-up appointment with my neurosurgeon to check my brain's progress a month and a half after surgery. I was incredibly nervous, but it went perfectly well. I had leftover scar tissue that was healing, and there was no sign of anything growing again. I was in the clear for the time being.
Many check-ins with my endocrinologist occurred after surgery, including the day after I got home from the hospital, and a month later to retest my pituitary gland. The pituitary gland stimulation test showed that it was functioning well just two months post-surgery. My doctor said this is very uncommon but not unheard of. If it doesn't happen with your pituitary or adrenal glands, do not think that the surgery was unsuccessful. I was young when doctors caught my Cushing's disease, and they caught it quickly. I believe that had something to do with my personal story. Cushing's causes damage that takes time to improve. Remember, your organs and brain are resetting after years of illness. It'll take time to get back to a good spot.
During a stimulation test, a doctor draws blood once and then injects you with a liquid to help stimulate your pituitary gland. After that, blood is drawn three or four times every 30 minutes. (I can't remember the exact number.) This is to test the levels of your pituitary functions. It allows for doctors to see how well or how nonfunctioning your pituitary is so they can decide what dose of hydrocortisone is best for you. For those of you with adrenal tumors, I'm not sure what your post-surgery appointments will look like; I can only speak of my personal story.
According to medical experts, I was "cured." But they reminded me that recovery would take about three years for things to begin to feel "normal" again. Since my pituitary stimulation test came back very good, my doctor decided to take me off hydrocortisone, which was one of the most terrifying things ever. I felt like absolute garbage for so long, and sometimes I took a little dose whenever I didn't feel "right." Better safe than sorry, honestly.
About six months into recovery, I took a major leap of faith and went to Portugal for a month of extra recovery while living at my grandparents' house. If you feel like traveling after surgery, make sure to consult with your doctor first, because many people can't travel for a while, depending on their situation. I was lucky to go to Portugal to spend time relaxing there, but I was cautious. I let the flight attendants know my story, where my hydrocortisone was, and what to do in case of an emergency.
My last week in Portugal actually resulted in a nasty cold, something I really panicked about. I stress-dosed on my hydrocortisone because I could barely get out of bed. I was terrified something bad would happen if I didn't take it. My endocrinologist emailed back saying I'd be OK, but the fear we Cushies have post-surgery is real. Not trusting our gut instinct could lead to terrible adrenal insufficiency if we aren't careful, and that was not something I was willing to risk.
Follow me next week to find out what happened with my cold and what struggles I faced earlier this year that landed me in the hospital twice!

After tomorrow, my students will be on their Fall Break from school until November 5th! We just finished Chapter 3 in math and I didn't want to start the next one with so many days off coming up. So instead, I did an mini-Investigations lesson.
James came home from school to find 3 fresh brownies. He had 3 friends with him. The 4 friends decided to share the brownies equally. How much of each whole brownie did each of them get to eat?
I broke the students up into small groups and gave them chart paper and markers. I told students that it was their job to not only find the answer, but to also be able to explain how they know that their answers are correct.
It turned out really well! I was happy that they all did not come up with the same strategies and there was great conversation around fractions, division and equal parts!
This group decided to draw the three brownies, then split two in half to divide among all 4 boys (each getting half a brownie). They took the final brownie and broke it up into 4 equal parts and gave each piece to the boys. They then added 1/2 plus 1/4 (mentally) to say that each boy ate 3/4 of a brownie.
This group did something similar. They drew out the three brownies and then broke each brownie into four parts so that they could divide the pieces equally among the four boys. There was great conversation around what the final answer would be to the question: How much of each brownie did everyone eat? At first, the group answered 1/4, but after discussing it with the rest of the class, they realized they had to add up each of the fourths that the boys ate.
This group drew the three brownies, broke them up into fourths then distributed to each boy.
This group also drew the three brownies and then split them into fourths. They said they chose fourths because they knew that 12 can be divided evenly by 4.
I love Investigations lessons because it allows students to learn from each other. It was great to watch them work together in a group and then explain their findings and rationale with the rest of the class. Great way to introduce fractions and get a sense of background knowledge of each student!
In Writers' Workshop, we started our poetry unit this week! Today I taught students how to do Discovery Writing. This is a technique where writers take a regular object and describe it by comparing it to other objects, animals, places, etc.
To introduce the unit, I used Nan Fry's poem, "Apple". I showed my class an apple cut in half so that a star shows up in the middle and then I read the poem out loud. Afterwards, I asked students to point out where Nan used other objects to describe parts of the apple.
Next, I shared the "Discovery Writing" anchor chart to explain the steps of how to write about regular objects. I modeled with a pencil as my regular object to describe.
I handed out an object from the bag to each student (I just went around the classroom beforehand and grabbed a bunch of things) and had them study the object while thinking about other things to compare it to.
They turned and talked with a partner about their ideas and then went to their writing spot to work on a poem about their object! This ended up being a lesson that the students were really excited about. After most were finished with their first object, they were eager to come back to the bag and switch it out to write about another one! I loved the enthusiasm of describing everyday things!

Podcast Editor Loses Track of Which Voices Are In The Podcast and Which Are In Her Head
Amanda Schwarzenegger, editor of popular podcasts such as The Story of Bark, While You Listen To These Cicada Noises I'm Fucking Your Wife and Hurt My Ears! can no longer differentiate between the podcasts she's listening back to and the voices in her head which tell her to kill herself.
Amanda confessed, "I just can't work out if it's Greg Doherty, who hosts The Story of Bark, telling me that the next episode of Will It Blend? on YouTube should feature my head, or if it's a voice formed from my deepest psychoses."
This has caused some consternation among listeners of the podcast, as Amanda often leaves her microphone on whilst grappling with her skull, and the sound of her scratching her own flesh off has, bizarrely, damaged listener numbers for Hurt My Ears!
Amanda told us that, "Honestly, when the voices aggressively recommend euthanasia, it makes it easier to tell myself to not listen to anything, so I sit in silence and wait for the voices to grow bored."
"What really threw me was when I thought I'd listened to an entire David Olusoga lecture about growing up in Newcastle, which turned out to have been entirely fabricated by my mind, since the podcast was about bark."
"My mind told me stories about climbing the Angel of the North with Wes and Jess, and I've never even been to Gateshead. I'm based in Truro. I think maybe Greg Doherty's right, I'll get in touch with the Will It Blend? team."

Given our history, over 60 years in the business of keeping our customers safe on the road, it will not surprise anyone that we are stocking the newly launched Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5, our next generation UHP tyre. The Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 was conceived as "the ultimate all round summer tyre" and Goodyear is rightly excited. So are we.
The Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 follows the success of the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 range and the improvements are impressive. The F1 was hailed as a major improvement in mileage and braking and the Goodyear F1 Asymmetric F5 takes that advance much further.
The Goodyear safety pedigree is second to none. This is a company that leads rather than follows. Older motorists will remember Sir Robert Mark, arguably the most able individual to hold the office of Commissioner of The Metropolitan Police in modern times. He caused something of a national shock when, shortly after he retired, he appeared in TV Ads for Goodyear Tyres stating "I'm convinced that they make a major contribution to road safety." He went further when in one Ad he stood on a wet road and a car driven at 30mph made an emergency stop and came to a halt inches from him. He then pointed out that the new Goodyear Tyres fitted to that car would stop you on a wet road, driving at 30mph, four feet shorter than previous tyres. That four feet of course would have killed him.
It was powerful stuff and the new Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 comes from the same heritage. The Eagle Asymmetric 5, according to the Goodyear Tyres is superior to the Eagle Asymmetric F3: Wet braking is 4 per cent shorter thanks to a newly optimised contact patch. That 4 per cent could make a huge difference in a whole variety of situations.
Every one of our tyre centres will fit the new Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 to your car and they will fit them at a price you will find hard to beat. Just like the tyre.


The Middle features Frances "Frankie" Heck (née Spence, Patricia Heaton), a middle-class, Midwestern woman married to Mike Heck (Neil Flynn) who reside in the small fictional town of Orson, Indiana. They are the parents of three children, Axl, Sue, and Brick. The show was picked up for a full season of 22 episodes after airing just two episodes. On January 10, 2011, the show was renewed for a third season by ABC.

The alarm went off before school hours, but Willard has conducted drills only for what to do during classes — not before or after, or during lunch. Even while the alert was sounding, students continued to come into the school, potentially putting more lives at risk.
Another Willard student is 15-year-old freshman Bradley Cooper. Bradley worked on Josh Hawley's campaign for U.S. Senate, and at age 12 volunteered over 100 hours to Donald Trump's campaign for president. He hopes to be a U.S. senator one day. Until then, he wants to take action to ensure the people we elect work for us and represent us in our government. After witnessing the alarm at his school and the ensuing havoc, Bradley wants to do everything he can to bring awareness to this issue.
I completely agree with Bradley that all of our teachers should have the option to train and conceal carry at school. Numerous times we have heard stories such as that of Scott Beigel, who died shielding students from bullets at Parkland, Florida's Marjory Stoneman High School last year. These are heroic but tragic events. So let's give our teachers a chance to stop the killers rather than just sacrifice their lives.
The National Rifle Association's School Shield is an outstanding program offered free of charge to schools to help them with school security, including best practices in security infrastructure, technology, personnel, training and policy. It's absurd that some school administrators and teachers put their students at greater risk and decline this free help from the NRA because of their own personal political opinions.
Criminals do not respect gun-free zones and criminals do not obey gun laws. The NRA School Shield program is focused on real solutions that will protect America's children.

It is with the greatest personal sadness that I have to report the death of a cherished member of our blog family. David Blair Drumm passed away on December 18, 2013 in Austin, Texas. David was there at the very beginning of this blog and remained one of its staunchest supporters. Through the years, David was a rock who not only brought reasoned and calm analysis to posts but also to the management of the blog. He started as a regular commentator under the name "Nal" and I then invited him to write on the weekends. He played the role of editor as well as writer. (Indeed, I am worried about this memorial since David often caught the many typos that I would leave in early morning postings). I came to trust him absolutely in his judgment and analysis. I considered him a good friend and one of the most important influences on this blog. David wrote as a Weekend Blogger for years, sharing his insights into religion, politics, and his always popular "Find the Kitteh" contest. Our success is due in no small part to David Drumm and this blog, I hope, will remain a testament to his work and his memory. To that end, we are dedicating the entire blog today to David and his work. He was a brilliant electrical engineer, a profound writer, a passionate civil libertarian, and most importantly a fierce and loyal friend to our blogging community.
This news will no doubt come as a shock for the thousands of people who followed David's writings every weekend. Indeed, it was a shock for the blog team. I became concerned at the end of December that we had not heard from David. His last email to the contributing writers was that his two planned topics for the weekend had already been covered on the blog. That was December 13th. I was not surprised therefore when he did not post that weekend and, with the holidays, I assumed that he had taken a weekend off (though that was rare since David was one of our most consistent and regular writers). At the beginning of January, I started to send messages to make sure that David was all right and received no reply. A week ago, I alerted the Weekend Bloggers that I was very concerned about David. Our team then kicked into high gear and searched for contacts for David. particularly Charlton Stanley and Darren Smith. In the midst of the search, one of our team members found a death notice for a David Blair Drumm in Austin. It was a chilling find since (while never using "Blair" in his byline, I knew he lived in Austin and went by David. B. Drumm). The team reached out to the funeral home and others in the hopes that this was not our David. A couple days ago, we received the confirmation that we were dreading. I was able to reach David's brother, Richard Drumm, in Virginia and he confirmed that David had died between December 16th and 18th. David's co-workers became concerned when he missed a second day at work and called police. His condo manager opened up his apartment and he was found dead. The suspicion is a heart attack. He was only 65 years old.
Since most people knew David exclusively from his Internet persona and columns, David's life and background was largely a mystery. His family has shared details with me over the last few days. We all knew some of David's passions like his love for 60s tunes (that I share) and often posted Golden Oldies and interesting videos. However, some details might surprise you. David held two black belts in two different martial arts. He was also an avid biker — conquering what he called "The Hill of Death" in Austin as an athletic goal.
architect with Coherent Logix in Austin when he died. He held various patents for devices with such daunting titles as "Parallel Execution of Trellis-Based Methods." His book, Entropy-coded Quantization, was published in 1996 and runs 568 pages.
Any idea that the US will leave behind a Afghan security force and army that will thwart the Taliban is a fantasy to soothe US political opinion. The Taliban are vicious immoral thugs whose religion allows them to morally justify their actions. That the Afghanistan people will be brutalized by the inevitable Taliban theocracy is a certainty. However abhorrent, it is up to the Afghans to remedy that situation. The US does not have the resources to save Muslims from Islam. The US can show the way by our exemplification of the rights of conscience found in our secular society.
David last posted comments on December 15, 2013 with a comments and a video links to share with people. In his final comments, David was doing what he often did in helping people understand filter and posting mechanics on the blog.
For me, David personified this blog. He was civil but passionate in discussing a wide range of issues. David believed deeply in the first amendment and shared a strong resistance to banning writers. He also believed strongly in our anonymity rule and, most importantly, our civility rule. He had a hand in all of those policies. He was totally committed to this blog. I remember years ago that the ABA competition with another site had turned a bit ugly with allegations that people associated with the other site had published false information about us and engaged in multiple voting schemes (before new security measures were put into place). David went on the ABA site and voted. He then had the opportunity to vote again from another device and immediately felt guilty. He notified us that he felt that he had yielded to his anger and he went back on and cast additional votes for the other blog to wipe out any impact. It was quintessentially David. He was intensely loyal and fatally honest. Through the years, David would privately offer counsel on controversies on the blog. I cannot remember a single suggestion of David that I did not agree with.
One of the most curious aspects of blogging is that we create not simply a community but a type of family among the regulars who come daily to this site. We often never meet face-to-face but share dreams and losses within this virtual family. In a strange way, our physical remoteness brings us closer – a sense that, unlike some many mandatory relationships or associations, this is a place of our choosing or our creation. We choose each other on a daily basis. In that unique relationship, we can develop relationships that are closer precisely because they are uncluttered by physical meetings or expectations. We come to this place in search of community and conversation. It is on our own terms. No one forces us to come back or to stay. David chose to stay and we would find him here everyday with a new thought or witty aside. We would find his signature cat avatar in the comments and know that "Nal" had returned to the fold.
My Italian grandfather once warned me that the world has two types of people: people who cannot avoid doing evil and those who cannot avoid doing good. It is in their nature. David was a force for good. While some disagreed with his views, David embraced the world for all of its beauty and diversity. He despised orthodoxy and intolerance. His writing was simple and powerful and, most importantly, honest. I will miss him and his presence deeply and daily. There is of course nothing virtual about our sense of loss. It is real and personal. Yet, I have learned from the loss of family that a loss like this does not simply fade away. It remains but I have found that the pain transforms into a more positive sense of meaning from the memories of our lost friends. David left us with a host of such memories in his many posts on this blog. This cyber memorial can hardly repay him for what he gave to us but it can remind us of what he left in his passing.
Rest in peace, my friend. And thank you.
For those of you who would like to read David's works, click the link below.
Your brother was extraordinary and an exemplar for many to live by. Rather than give snotty or rancid responses they were well reasoned with feeling.
Thank you everybody! I had no idea that David had such a wide circle of friends! He cast a long shadow. His death was a big blow to the family and your support here is much appreciated. Thank you again.
Such bitter news wrapped within the sweetness of this outpouring of appreciation for Nal's contribution and for the person David Drumm. I'll really miss him.
Give rise to a wondrous life.
Though loathe to disagree with you…. But many folks are that much brighter and enlightened by David Nal just being here….. I know that I enjoyed his music…. I really like the obscure that he obtained…. Then there was the kitteh…. Waldo was easier to find in some of them…. I cannot think of one disagreeable thing he posted that was without logic and reason…. Not bad for an electrical engineer…. They are usually black and white…..in my experience….
People have already said many of the things that I had thought of saying. A good man has passed on and the world is a little darker for his leaving. David will certainly be missed by all of us who came to know him through this blog.
When through one man, a little more love and goodness, a little more light and truth comes into the world, then that mans life has had meaning.
Nal, your life had meaning!
Mark: Shall we handicap ourselves with our morality in the fight even as they recognize no such constraints?
Nal: Shall we handicap ourselves with our civil liberties in the fight even as they recognize no such constraints?
Morality is not a handicap, it is a strength. We fight to preserve our sense of morality.
Thanks for saving that mespo, no words better could I come up for the guy then his own.
My new Kindle decided to change Drumm to Drummond without my consent. Sorry, David.
Many true things have been written about David Drummond today. But I think what I will miss most about him is the strong sense of humanity that resonated through all of his commentary. David spoke forcefully, but without anger. He did not regard as enemies those who disagreed with him. And he regularly reminded us with gentle good humor that we are all looking at the same photograph-and we are all trying to find the kitteh.
You know, a lot of people have trouble understanding Jonathan Turley. But I can. He's in an under the desk briefcase deal with lucifer and yahweh.
So thoughtfully written, Mr. Turley. A beautiful tribute to a good man. I will definitely miss the Find the Kitteh contest.
when i saw this earlier the first thing i did was blow up the pic and look for the kitteh.
Godspeed, Nal, you will be sorely missed. Whiloe you're at it, keep Idealist707 on his toes..
It is always sad to see a person with a brilliant mind and warm heart pass away. He delivered to us all of us these talents with his contribution by his words here and I am certain to life, family, and his career. He will be missed, this is true, but we can through his writing have something to preserve for us a part of who he is.

Justin Timberlake has spoken about his next album, as well as working with Pharrell Williams on the LP.
Timberlake made his return with new single 'Can't Stop The Feeling' earlier this year. Timberlake's last album release came in 2013 with double album 'The 20/20 Experience', which featured singles 'Suit & Tie' and 'Mirrors'.
Timberlake previously revealed that he has been working with The Weeknd on new music and has been listening to Radiohead recently.
It has been reported that Justin Timberlake could face prosecution after posting a picture of himself voting in the forthcoming Presidential election.
