Talespinner's Neopagan Reading List
J. Brad (Talespinner) Hicks
The Best Five:
(Read these five first, they are by themselves the best possible introduction to Neopagan Witchcraft and practical magic that I've found anywhere.)
Starhawk, The Spiral Dance. (San Francisco: Harper & Rowe, 1979). Paperback, $10.95
This is the essential first book for a new witch, Neopagan or otherwise. In fact, many new covens have been formed with no other sources than this book. Starhawk details the myths, legends, and magic of the Craft in a beautifully elegant, easy-to-read way. Often found in bookstores on the "Women's Studies" shelf, Starhawk's vision of the Craft emphasizes the Goddess as the source of inspiration, with secondary emphasis on the Horned God. Perhaps a bit too Feminist, but still the best introduction yet.
Margot Adler, Drawing Down the Moon. (Boston: Beacon Press, 1979). Paperback, $9.50
Although it is now 7 years out-of-date, this is still the best history of the modern, Neopagan Craft that has been published yet. Includes many valuable interviews with some of the people who gave shape to the Craft as we know it. While the book does include some instruction in magic, its primary thrust is philosophy and history. Keep an eye out-there's an updated second edition due out some time in late 1986.
Marion Weinstein, Positive Magic. (Surrey, B.C.: Phoenix Publishing, revised 1981). Paperback, $8.95
I see-saw between this book and the next one for 3rd and 4th place. Both are good, detailed texts on magic and spell-casting. At the moment, I recommend Positive Magic first for the following reasons:
it is more practical, teaching actual techniques before tackling theoretical justifications, and
the language is a bit easier to follow for non-scientists. The topics covered include the karmic effects of magic, astrology, divination with tarot cards and the I'Ching, and general spell-casting. Its strongest point is the section on tarot, which is the best I've seen yet. Its weakest point (in my opinion) is that it under-emphasizes poetry and ritual.
P.E.I. Bonewits, Real Magic. (Berkeley: Creative Arts Publishing, revised 1979). Paperback, $8.95
This is the other "best" book on magic. It covers a much wider variety of topics, including ritual, psychic self-defense, and many other psychic phenomena. Isaac's approach is scientific and rational, not "religious," and his language is often more that of a scholar than a witch, but this is nevertheless an essential book for any student of magic. WARNING: Make sure that you get the second edition (1979) or later, as the 1971 edition includes much material that is misleading, extraneous, and sometimes just plain false-the 1979 edition was heavily edited.
Scott Cunningham, Earth Power. (St. Paul: Llewellyn Publications, 1983). Paperback, $6.95
A good, reliable volume of spells and charms, compiled from the Family Traditions and other witchcraft sources. The magic in this book consists entirely of what scholars call "Low Magic"-the magic of village herbalists, midwives, and healers-and as such, it is very practical, simple, and unpretentious. Missing is much of the ceremony of Neopagan Witchcraft; in its place, a huge vocabulary of magic that can be used easily and quickly, regardless of where you are and what you have for tools.
The Best Of The Rest:
(Once you have a good background, from the previous five books, you will find the following all make good reference books, worth having on your shelf.)
Stewart Farrar, What Witches Do. (Custer, WA: Phoenix Publishing, revised 1983). Paperback, $8.95
This book is so good that it ALMOST made it into the top five, displacing Earth Magic. When its first edition came out in 1971, it was the only book on modern Witchcraft that was written for outsiders. It is surprisingly well-written, and very thorough. Its only serious problem is that it is very specifically Alexandrian Witchcraft (named after Alex Sanders, its first High Priest), and some of it doesn't generalize well. Nevertheless, it has the best-written chapter on initiation, among other things, that I've seen yet.
Herman Slater (ed.), A Book of Pagan Rituals. (York Beach, ME: Samuel Weiser, 1978). Paperback, $8.95
This is the complete Book of Shadows of a Neopagan tradition called The Pagan Way. It includes complete, very well-written rituals for all eight of the High Holidays (both solo and group ritual), plus a mixed bag of rituals for healing, trance work, and so forth. Requires some basic knowledge of the Craft and its symbolism, so its not for beginners, but it is definitely useful to any worthwhile fully-initiated witch.
Ellen Cannon Reed, The Witches' Qabala. (St. Paul: Llewellyn Publications, 1985). Paperback, $7.95
So far, only Book 1, "The Goddess and the Tree" has been published, but it's already the best book on the Qabala that I've seen yet, and the only one I would recommend to a new Neopagan Witch. The Qabala and its commentary to date contain a lot of sexist material, reflecting their Judeo-Christian origins. Ellen Reed strips all of that away, but in a way that is truer to the Qabala's origins and meaning than was the offensive material. Where she changes the traditional attributions, she documents it, and includes the traditional ones as well. This book is almost a "must-read."
Jack Schwarz, Voluntary Controls. (New York: E.P. Dutton, 1978). Paperback, $7.95
Jack Schwarz is NOT a witch, but don't let that stop you from profiting from the single clearest, most practical book on kundalini- style meditation that has been published in the West. If you are having trouble meditating, or wish to do serious trance work, turn to this book first.
Camden Benares, ZEN Without Zen Masters. (Phoenix: Falcon Press, 1977). Paperback, $6.95
Out of print for almost 7 years, I am VERY happy to be able to recommend it again. This book is, among other things, proof that there is more to the Discordian branch of Neopaganism than just practical jokes. It is also the best practical book on Zen for the western world that I have seen yet. All of the best zen koans, including these, are also humorous (and therefore memorable). The book also includes MANY valuable exercises. As Robert Anton Wilson (see below) says in the Commentary at the beginning, "If you don't laugh at all, you've missed the point. If you only laugh, you've missed your chance for Illumination."
Robert Anton Wilson, Cosmic Trigger: The Final Secret of the Illuminati. (New York: Pocket Books, 1977). Paperback, $3.95
In this autobiographical work, Wilson details his initiation into and experience with almost every form of shamanic magick that is still practiced today, and draws some very surprising conclusions. Strongest point: this is a fantastic synthesis of magick, psychology, and physics. Weakest point: its central theme-that all of the great mystical societies and movements in history have been in contact with aliens from Sirius-is not taken seriously by Wilson (no matter how serious he seems in this book), and should not be taken seriously by the reader.

Hardee Correctional Institution is located in Bowling Green Florida. It is a level VI facility that houses about 1,540 adult male inmates of varying custody levels. Many services are offered through the Chaplaincy Service at this facility. Inmates can also take part of programs aimed to advance their own self well being, including parenting, and business classes, financial planning and investing courses, and alcoholics and narcotics anonymous programs.
Inmates who are incarcerated at Hardee Correctional Institution can participate in academic courses that include earning a GED, adult basic education and assisting other inmates in learning through an assistants program. Carpentry is one of the vocational skills offered that gives inmates a skill they can use to be employed after they are released.
Before you visit your inmate you must have an approved visitation application on file for visiting that inmate. Visiting is on Saturdays and Sundays from 9am-3pm. You can register for visiting at the institution as early as 8:15am, but no later than 2pm. If you arrive after 2pm you will not be allowed to enter into visitation.

Q: Automatize text in an email from R I was looking how to send emails from R, but I want to know how to automatize text depending on a table like this one:
  Name       Email              CODE
  <chr>      <chr>             <dbl>
1 Student 1  mail@example.com     30
2 Student 2  mail2@example.com    20
3 Student 20 mail3@example.com     5

For example, I would like to send different messages with different text depending on the student's names and codes:
Hello Student 20,
your code is 5.

See you.

And the same with Student 1, Student 2, and so on.

A: Two options:
sprintf("Hello %s your code is %d", df$name, df$code)
[1] "Hello x your code is 12" "Hello y your code is 32"

glue::glue_data(df, "Hello {name} your code is {code}")
Hello x your code is 12
Hello y your code is 32

Data
df = data.frame(name = c('x', 'y'), code = c(12, 32))

A: You can use \n to add line breaks and have a better formatted text.
E.g. with paste0
msgs <- paste0("Hello ", df$name, ",\nyour code is: ", df$code, ".\n\nSee you.\n")
msgs
## [1] "Hello x,\nyour code is: 12.\n\nSee you.\n"
## [2] "Hello y,\nyour code is: 32.\n\nSee you.\n"

To see how it will look like you can use cat, here is the first message:
cat(msgs[1])

Hello x,
your code is: 12.

See you.

A novella is a text of written, fictional, narrative prose normally longer than a short story but shorter than a novel, somewhere between 7,500 and 40,000 words.. The English word "novella " derives from the Italian novella, derived from nuovo, which means "new".
9 års søvn Novellen handler om hvor galt det kan gå når en ikke hører på hva folk sier. Valgene forfølger deg resten av livet. Og angeren er ikke til å holde ut.
Heart of Darkness (1899) is a novella by Polish-British novelist Joseph Conrad, about a voyage up the Congo River into the Congo Free State, in the heart of Africa, by the story's narrator Charles Marlow.

Lime Cordiale apparently never want to end their tour and travel further and further around the world to bring their summer-fresh songs live to the enthusiastic people. Fits the title of her record: ? Permanent Vacation?. The brothers Oli and Louis Leimbach are with their indie-pop so to speak on a permanent beach holiday in the clubs of this world and simply do not stop there. Every now and then a single is recorded, otherwise concerts are played. For May/June, the Australians have confirmed four more shows to make the early summer even more beautiful. Together with their crew ? Felix Bornholdt on the Keys, James Jennings on drums and Nick Polovineo on trombone and guitar ? they have redefined the re-sitting and having fun. Coolness and self-ironic attitude rarely sounded as broad and beautiful as here. Every now and then the siblings work on the second album and continue on journeys around the world.

The law which applies to the high seas is founded on the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), which entered into force in 1994. An important element of UNCLOS was the undertaking by all signatory countries to promote sustainable fishing.
Since the adoption of UNCLOS, a number of agreements have been developed to deal specifically with how to bring about sustainable fishing on the high seas. One of them is the Agreement on straddling stocks and highly migratory fish stocks (1995).
The UN system also has a key role to play in combating destructive fishing practices, which damage fragile habitats, in particular seamounts and cold-water corals.
In 2007, the UN General Assembly adopted resolution 61/105 on sustainable fisheries.
The EU has also entered other international agreements and conventions that have a bearing on fisheries. Among them is the commitment made at the World Summit on Sustainable Development in 2002 to reduce fishing to the level which gives the highest yield in the long run (maximum sustainable yield) by 2015 and to use an ecosystem approach in fisheries management. The EU is party to the Convention on Biological Diversity and the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).


Perchance you check this blog out before you check out the Guardian, and you haven't seen the newest Game of Thrones episode, there's a massive spoiler on the front page. Someone thought it would be a good idea so the paper could partake in the zeitgeist. (I like the paper and want it without paywall, but they don't have to jump on every pop culture wagon for pageviews.) But it's still a massive spoiler, and apparently the UK episode hasn't even aired yet. Readers of the books: yes, it's that one. All the comments on the post are complaints so they might change the headline, but still, very stupid move, Rusbridger.

The moist, cold, and dry forests of the Inland Northwest occupy approximately 144 million acres. Ponderosa pine, lodgepole pine, western white pine, western larch, and Douglas-fir are usually the preferred commercial species of the area. These early-seral species are relatively resistant to endemic levels of insects and diseases. They tend to grow rapidly and in general produce commercial products at a young age, especially using focused management actions packaged in silvicultural systems that are documented in silvicultural prescriptions. Even-aged systems (clearcut, seed-tree, and shelterwood) are the most appropriate for growing commercial products. In limited circumstances uneven-aged systems may be appropriate on sites where ponderosa pine is the late seral-species. Planting of improved, site adapted trees usually offer the greatest control over the amount, kind, and establishment of plantations. The control of competing vegetation during the site preparation and tending phases of the silvicultural system is usually extremely beneficial in enhancing tree growth and product development. The forest soils of the Inland West are generally deficient in nitrogen and, in some settings, also potassium deficient. The organic and mineral surface layers, often containing ash and loess soils, are vulnerable to compaction, displacement, or damage from fires (prescribed and wild) or mechanical forest operations. Therefore, soil and its conservation should be integral to all activities included in a silvicultural system. For production forestry, herbicides offer an alternative that can maintain the soil resource yet control competing vegetation and most often yield excellent results when properly applied. Cleanings, weedings and thinnings are integral parts of the silvicultural system. These and all parts of silvicultural systems designed to produce commercial products can be readily quantified, displayed, and visualized (spatially explicit) through time using the Forest Vegetation Simulator.

The 100% true origins of the NHL Playoff Handshake Line
Some say it's the greatest tradition in Sport, while others say it's the greatest tradition in recorded history. Even more claim it to be the peak moment of humankind – The NHL Playoff Handshake Line.
But what are the true origins behind this grand gesture of peace and solidarity? The Hi-Top Investigative Team did some digging and what we found out was even more amazing and humbling than even we could have imagined.
The year was 1925 and the Saskatoon Keeners were on a real hot streak, eh. Local boy wonder Davey Davidson, then a tender 17 years of age, was manning the blue line like he was born on the icy side of a moose's hindquarters, which wasn't far off from the truth, let me tell ya. The Keeners were a rough bunch of lads who liked their beer Molson and their bacon hammy. They played a fast and tough brand of hockey, the way the game was played out West, where the ice was rough and the players rougher, eh. Their run to Lord Stanley's Cup was to be a mere formality. That is until the Keeners crossed paths with Eastern Canada's finest – the Renfrew Creamery Kings.
The Creamery Kings were a refined group of gentleman. Eastern Canadians through and through. They took their tea at noon and were in bed by nine. They played the Queen's brand of hockey – passes were crisp and sweaters even crisper. The Creamery Kings were led by their Center, Handsome Frank LaPierre, a dapper man in his late 20s, the son of Franklin LaPierre, owner of the team's namesake – the Renfrew Creamery. Handsome Frank skated with a smile on his face and delighted crowds with his majestic pirouettes and sleight of hand puck control. His stick was a magic wand they said. His feet blessed by the Gods.
The two teams, the Keeners and the Creamery Kings could not have been more diametrically opposed and it was this fact that captured the hearts and attention of Canadians from coast to coast. Thousands were in attendance and millions more listened in on the wireless as Saskatoon faced off against Renfrew for the chance to take on the mighty Toronto Blue Shirts in the Cup Final.
The match started off with a literal bang as young Davey Davidson took dead aim at Handsome Frank leveling the Gentleman Center within moments of the initial puck drop and the intensity never wavered from there. It was a back and forth affair, the grace of the Creamery Kings balancing out the brute force of the Keeners.
Notched at 2 all in the Final Period with the clocking ticking down, the brash, aggressive adolescent fervor that fueled the play of Davey Davidson proved to be his downfall. A two-minute roughing penalty gave the Creamery Kings just the advantage they had been waiting for all game. Handsome Frank lulled and baited the Keeners then finished them off with a nice one-two pass and shoot. The deed was done. The Creamery Kings would move on. The Keeners season was over.
In the aftermath of the final whistle the crowd's attention turned from the Creamery Kings celebration to the apparent aggressive posturing of the defeated Keeners. As the crowd braced themselves for an old fashioned Canadian brouhaha, they were instead shocked to see the Keeners, led by Davy Davidson, skate to center ice and line up with hands out stretched. The Creamery Kings recognized the moment immediately and replied in turn. Audible gasps turned to cries of joy as the frenzied spectators witnessed the ultimate act of sportsmanship.
And thus a tradition was born.
Handshake Line

Chichen - Itza, world famous archaeological zone, is located 120 km from Merida via federal highway 180 in the State of Yucatan, Mexico. The name Chichen - Itza is derived from the Mayan language: "Chi" - mouth, "Chen" - well and "Itza" - the tribe that inhabited the area. Between 600 and 1250 A.D. this ancient city whose name means "at the mouth of the Itza well," was the center of political, economic, religious, and military power, not only in Yucatan but also in the entire southeaster part of Mesoamerica. The Itza domain included pert of Tabasco and Campeche, the northern Gulf Coast, and a large part of the southern lowlands. Its sphere of control was based on regional and long distance mercantile activities, which generated one of the most important commercial circuits in all Mesoamerica.
This is a fabulous slide show of both famous and little-known Mayan sites in the Yucatan. A must see!
This slide show (in Spanish) explains some Mayan history, and the meaning of the end of the Mayan calendar.
The Mundo Maya covers a territory of 500 thousand square kilometers, now occupied by five Mexican states: Chiapas, Tabasco, Campeche, Yucatán and Quintana Roo; and the Central American countries of Guatemala, Belize, Honduras and El Salvador. In this land of great contrasts, where rivers and mountains intertwine with jungle and sea, the Mayan civilization developed three thousand years ago. It is one of the most outstanding cultures of ancient times.
Today, the massive temples and ceremonial centers built by these ancient people are impressive archaeological sites. But the Mayan culture does not belong in a museum--it lives and breaths in the people who populate the Mundo Maya today and who adhere to ancient customs through their art, religion and agriculture.

Kevin Zeese says it was just an act of civil disobedience. A US judge, however, thinks it was a bit more than that.
Tim DeChristopher bid $1.8 million during a federal auction in 2008, only he used money he didn't have. DeChristopher was trying to keep the oil industry from purchasing the land and drilling. That act of civil disobedience might cost him up to ten years behind bars.
As DeChristopher awaits sentencing, Zeese of comehomeamerica.us equates the environmental activist as an American hero.
"Tim took it on his own to stop this illegal leasing of oil and gas lands," says Zeese. Sure enough, the auction was indeed illegal and, once the Obama administration entered the White House, the talks of selling off the land were thwarted. Even still, DeChristopher is still looking at time in prison.
"He stopped something that was illegal! And yet the Obama admin want to put him in jail for years to stop the law being violated," says Zeese.
"Tim is one of those real amazing leaders that has stood up and is willing to take the punishment," Zeese adds. He is looking to get more people to rally just like DeChristpher by gathering in Washington this autumn in hopes of ending corporatism.
And first to their feet right now is Tim DeChristopher, who faces sentencing today.

Worries about work, feeling sad sometimes and getting stressed can all be part of our busy lives. It's when worry becomes constant and affects daily life that you may have a problem. Anxiety can become so bad you feel immobilised and if left untreated, may lead to depression. Anxiety can develop gradually which can make it difficult to work out when it has become a serious issue.
A panic attack is a sudden, intense episode of fear associated with physical symptoms such as shortness of breath, dizziness and a racing heart. Panic attacks may be triggered by specific situations and generally occur in people with a diagnosis of panic disorder, but may be a symptom of other anxiety disorders. For some people, these are a regular occurrence and worrying about them happening can cause further anxiety.
If some of these symptoms are impacting on your life they could be causing isolation and can eventually lead to depression. Talk about your anxiety symptoms with a doctor, counsellor or mental health professional. It may take time to feel better, but getting professional help can support you in managing anxiety and reduce its effects on your life and wellbeing.

Convicted Canadian Tire attacker tells court she wants to 'withdraw' her agreement with the facts
Rehab Dughmosh said she was not disputing the facts, but was "not admitting to the facts for religious reasons."
By Alyshah HashamCourts Reporter
Fri., Jan. 25, 2019timer1 min. read
A woman convicted of using a golf club and knife to attack Canadian Tire employees in support of terror group Daesh has declared she wants to "withdraw" her agreement with the facts presented to the jury in a recent and unusual trial.
"I would like to clarify that I am not admitting to the facts for religious reasons," Rehab Dughmosh said during a brief Friday appearance to determine how her sentencing hearing should proceed.
However, when asked by Superior Court Justice Maureen Forestell whether she disputed any of the facts or whether her agreement to the facts had been false, Dughmosh said she was not disputing the facts.
"It was true but I don't want to go on with it," Dughmosh said. It was unclear what she meant by "it," however Dughmosh has repeatedly refused to participate in court proceedings, claiming her religious beliefs do not allow her to recognize the court's authority. For months after she was charged she refused to come to court.
However, during her trial Dughmosh agreed that the facts presented by the Crown were true — effectively entering a guilty plea — following a plea inquiry conducted by Forestell to ensure Dughmosh understood what it meant to agree to the facts and the consequences of doing so.
Earlier this week, Forestell was presented with two psychiatric reports assessing Dughmosh's mental health. Dughmosh said during that appearance that she had provided false information to the psychiatrists. When asked on Friday to elaborate, Dughmosh said she did not agree with the diagnosis of schizophrenia.
The sentencing hearing continues Thursday.

Q: Automatically compute and name several new versions of eachvariable in a dataset For many of my variables, I often need to create three new versions (i.e., mean-centered, mean-centered plus one standard deviation, and mean centered minus one standard deviation) before I can run simple effects tests.
I can create a function to calculate each new variable, but this is does not rename the variable automatically, and is time-consuming and repetitive to do for many variables.
# example data of test performance
d <- read.table(header=T, text='
 subject sex    math  read   sci
       1   M     7.9  12.3  10.7
       2   F     6.3  10.6  11.1
       3   F     9.5  13.1  13.8
       4   M    11.5  13.4  12.9
')

# function to create mean-centered version of variable
mc <- function(x) {
    x - mean(x, na.rm=T)
}
d$readMC <- mc(d$read)

# function to create mc version minus 1 SD
msd <- function(x) {
    x - sd(x, na.rm=T)
}
d$readMCmsd <- msd(d$read_mc)

# function to create mc version plus 1 SD
psd <- function(x) {
    x + sd(x, na.rm=T)
}
d$readMCpsd <-psd(d$read_mc)

For a dataset like the one above how can I write a single functions or for-loops to calculate, rename, and add to my dataset three new versions of the variables math, read and sci?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

A: Your function could be something like
foo <- function(x, ...) {
    MC <- x - mean(x, ...)
    SD <- sd(MC, ...)
    data.frame(MC = MC, MCmsd = MC - SD, MCpsd = MC + SD)
}

And then run it on the math, sci, and read columns with lapply
lapply(d[-(1:2)], foo, na.rm = TRUE)
# $math
#     MC      MCmsd      MCpsd

Kim Kardashian Stared At Herself While Kissing Pete Davidson
Kim has also been accused of trying to make her and Pete the new Kravis following the PDA-heavy social media post.
It has been almost eight months since Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson began datingand their romance was kept incredibly private from the start.

In fact, the couple didn't even go Instagram Official until March of this year, when Kim sneaked two photos of herself and her new beau into a carousel post.
Since then, public acknowledgments have been few and far between, with Kim only occasionally posting about her new boyfriend, and Pete having no social media presence of his own.
However, they made their red carpet debut at the end of April at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. A couple of days after that, they were together at the Met Gala, which is when Kim showed off a new platinum blonde hairstyle.
And her hair appears to have marked a fresh milestone in their relationship, with Pete now bleaching his own 'do to match his girlfriend.

Kim and Pete debuted their new his 'n' hers look on her Instagram story on Sunday, with Pete swapping his natural brunette hair for a blond hue that matches Kim's.
And the two also took the opportunity to indulge in some good, old-fashioned PDA while they were filming, with Pete leaning in to kiss Kim in the videos.
The pair began by playingfully sticking their tongues out at the camera before Kim pouted her lips, which Pete took as an invitation for a kiss.
Twitter: @davidsonupdate
She smiled happily after the smooch, and in a second black-and-white video they stuck their tongues out again.
In the final video, Pete is laughing as he affectionately nuzzles into Kim's head, Kim is also giggling while gazing at the camera.
While the videos definitely gave fans a welcome insight into Kim and Pete's typically-private relationship, some couldn't help but laugh at the posts as they pointed out that Kim appeared to be staring at herself in her phone's camera while Pete was showering her with affection.
"Seeing her make 😍 at her own reflection and then remember he is there too 😭😭," one person commented on Reddit. Another added: "She was too focused on the camera to kiss him back. Yikes…"
Others felt like the "intense eye contact" was inviting them into the kiss, which made them feel uncomfortable. Someone said: "Yeah I had to look away. Like, I didn't ask to be part of this kiss, stop making eye contact with me 👀"
One more echoed: "Why is she making such intense eye contact with us?? Girl focus on your man 😭😭😭"
Another person joked: "She has no idea who's she standing next to she's so obsessed with staring at herself."
This is not the first time that Kim has been accused of being fixed on her own reflection, with it previously being claimed that a production crew had to move a monitor during an interview with Kim because she kept looking at herself instead of the hosts.
He said at the time: "Let me tell you about Kim Kardashian. She is a very, very special human being. I know this because we actually interviewed her on The Project. We had her on the desk and we interviewed her."
"And we're about one or two questions in and all of a sudden I can see there's a commotion amongst the floor managers," he continued. "They're sort of running around and moving things around. I thought, 'I wonder what's going on there?'"
After the interview, Chris said he asked crew members what had happened. He explained: "They said, 'I can't believe you didn't notice, but for the first half of the interview her eyeline was down and to the right.' And I said, 'Yeah, I saw that, I just thought she was nervous.'"
And they said, 'No, no, no. We had to move all the monitors and turn them around because all she was doing was looking at herself the entire interview,'" Chris revealed. "And after they did that she actually looked at us for a change."

While admiring her own reflection may not be anything new for Ms. Kimberly Noel Kardashian, the excessive PDA with Pete is certainly out of character.
In fact, the videos seemed much more characteristic of something that her sister, Kourtney Kardashian, would post after she became renowned for her over-the-top public displays of affection with her now-husband, Travis Barker.
Fans were quick to pick up on this comparison, and even accused Kim of trying to copy Kourtney and Travis in her new relationship.
Reacting to the Instagram posts, one person wrote: "I can't help but wonder if she would be doing this if Kravis didn't exist."
Another agreed: "It just feels so performative," to which someone replied: "After this whole Kravis wedding.. I can sense the 'I'm gonna do it (the PDA) better than you' to Kourtney."
One more added: "Awkward. Trying to komPETE with Kourtney."
The constant kissing, cuddling, and fondling has been a source of contention throughout Kourtney and Travis's relationship, with her family expressing their discomfort over it in their reality show, The Kardashians.
Kourtney's two youngest children, Penelope and Reign, were also caught on camera begging them to "stop kissing in French" during a family dinner.
Meanwhile, this isn't the first time that Kim has been roasted in the past week, with the star being ridiculed after she posted a video of her latest business venture to Instagram on Tuesday.
In the clip, she proudly revealed that she is the new "chief taste consultant" for a plant-based food company Beyond Meat, who offer meat alternatives. She spoke about how delicious the food was while seemingly tucking into a vegan hamburger, meatballs, tacos, a sausage, and chicken nuggets.
But viewers accused her of only pretending to eat the food as they noticed the strange editing choices in the video, with the camera cutting just before Kim put any of the food in her mouth and resuming once she was chewing.
There were also no bite marks in the food that she'd supposedly eaten. Kim's followers wasted no time in calling her out for fake-eating in the comments, but she has not publicly responded to their claims.

'You've just got to believe' - Former Reading FC striker's advice to struggling record signing Puscas
The former Inter Milan striker has struggled since making the move to the Championship from Palermo

Former Reading striker Glenn Murray has urged George Puscas not to get downhearted with his start at the club, and has backed him to discover his scoring touch.
The Romanian has struggled since becoming Reading's record signing during the summer, having moved to the Championship from Palermo.
After scoring three times in his opening three games, Puscas has found the net just once in his last 15 appearances.
But, speaking ahead of the clash with Leeds United, Murray urged the 23-year-old to not get too down as he looks to rediscover his early form for the Royals.
"It's just about keeping doing the simple things as well as you can really, and not getting too lost in your own mind and too worried about the situation," Murray told Sky Sports.

"It is hard, you can get carried away. It's good to speak to people about it sometimes rather than lock yourself away where it can be a lonely place, especially when you've missed a few chances.
"With John Swift creating chances for him, I think Reading will be looking for him to score more goals."
Murray, who scored eight goals in 18 league appearances while on loan with Reading in 2014, added: "First and foremost, he's got to do his first job which is to hold it up.

"Obviously, if you're up there and you're isolated, first and foremost you've got to hold it up so your team-mates can join you, and then get it out wide and get it in the box and try and create yourself opportunities.
"It's about not getting downhearted. It can be lonely up there sometimes on your own. I've been there many times, but you've just got to believe you're going to get chances.
"I'm sure he'll do that, and he gets lots of opportunities, there are lots of games in the Championship and they come thick and fast."

Ed Thomas isn't holding anything back with his debut solo work. Just after releasing his debut single two weeks ago, he is back with his new song "Hurt". Ed sticks with electronic sound, but takes a little bit more melancholy approach to this tune. With a beat that's banging in the background, he keeps some chilling synths that compliment his flawless voice throughout the entire song. The strongest points in his music is his chorus -- strong and powerful the lyrics just flow out of his heart. Everything about Ed Thomas screams future super star. Perhaps with the fantastic tunes he's been dropping and the hard work he's going to put into 2014 he'll excel as fast as Sam Smith did. He's got the talent and the jamming pop records to prove it.

THEO WALCOTT has admitted he needs to raise his game or risk being remembered as a one-trick pony.
The Arsenal winger wants to be known as more than just a speed merchant and hopes to add more goals and trickery to his game.
Walcott, 23, has scored only eight Premier League goals this season and has been criticised for lacking an end product to his runs.
He said: "I am always going to be known for pace, I know that. But the next step is the finishing.
"I have a lot of assists this season, but I don't think I am ever going to lose that.
"At times people just expect me to knock the ball and run, but it is not as easy as you think.
"As soon as you start doing that, the defender knows what you are doing every time.
The pressure is on Walcott, who could find his place under threat next season from Arsenal's new £11m signing from Cologne, Lukas Podolski.
The German international striker often plays wide right for his national team and has big ambitions at the Emirates.
He said: "The goal has to be to win titles over the next few years.
"That's a given when you go to a big club like Arsenal.
"The English league is good and competitive and every year six or seven clubs are challenging. It's a chance to make another step forward.


Hehe. This one was really good. Again, seriously, you need your own show. Radio, TV, whatever. Just get famous and let the world discover you, dammit! Your talent is too good to waste. Not that these commentaries are a waste. I've downloaded pretty much all of them.
Now if you need me, I'll be in the bomb shelter for when you invade Canada.
Wait wait wait, this is Steve: "NaaAAaaAAaa…!" Joking. Steve's awesome, as are Todd and Skelton.

Volvo starts process for sale of Aero unit
Published: Nov. 21, 2011 at 12:01 p.m. ET
Sven Grundberg
STOCKHOLM -(MarketWatch)- Swedish truck maker Volvo AB (VOLV-B.SK) Monday said it has initiated a process aimed at divesting its Volvo Aero subsidiary.
Volvo would require that the buyer of the unit is in a position to "enhance the company's opportunities for further development in its sector," Chief Executive Olof Persson said in a statement.
Volvo Aero has been a part of Volvo since the 1940s and makes components for aircraft and rocket engines. Since the late 1990s, Volvo has been increasing its focus on its truck business, highlighted by the sale of its car business, Volvo Cars, to Ford Motor Corp. F, +0.68% in 1999.
In 2010, Volvo Aero's net sales amounted to 7.7 billion kronor ($1.1 billion), or 2.9% of Volvo's total revenue.

Spanish poet; born at Cordova of Marano parentage; died about 1683. After his conversion to Judaism he lived in great poverty in Amsterdam. The Marquis of Caracena, then governor of Flanders, urged him to return to Christianity; but, though tempted by the offer of rewards, he steadily refused. After his death he was eulogized by De Barrios in verse. Escudero is supposed to be the author of the apologetic "Fortaleza del Judaismo, y Confusion del Estraño" (without date or place), of which a poor Italian translation entitled "Fortezza dell' Ebraismo, e Confusione dell' Estraneo," and a Hebrew translation by Mordecai Luzzatto of Triest, under the title "Ẓeriaḥ Bet-El," are extant in manuscript.

From club sandwiches to frangipane tart and summer cobbler - now is the time to eat peaches!
Whether you're making a sweet dessert or a savoury summer salad, make peach your go-to ingredient this summer.
You could make a tasty peach cobbler with fresh cream, layer peach on a pizza with prosciutto and a balsamic glaze or even make a sweet peach curd. There are so many way you can enjoy the juicy fruit.
Semifreddo (which translates as "half-cold" in Italian) is a heavenly dessert that's best described as a mix between mousse and ice cream. Dishing up a fancy pud has never been easier with this retro classic. It can be made without an ice cream maker and is perfect for an evening with friends; just make sure you leave enough time for it to chill.
Sweet, juicy and in season - peaches are the perfect topping to add to your morning toast. This totally tropical topping, together with passion fruit and crème fraîche, is wonderful on buttery brioche and goes well with a hot cuppa too.
The finishing touch to any Sunday lunch, is this gorgeous peach tart. Serve it hot or cold with a good dollop of ice cream or pouring cream.
Three slices of bread make a more substantial sarnie and allow perfect layering of flavours of this tasty peach, portobello and avocado club. It comes with velvety avocado, creamy mayo, mushrooms and peaches, which help to balance the richer ingredients. Welcome to the club.
It's the deliciously squidgy scone topping that makes this fruity peach dessert such a delight. It couldn't be easier to make and looks pretty as a picture when it comes out the oven. If you don't have all the ingredients for the scone topping, try a simple crumble topping instead made with flour, butter and sugar. Simples.
Sweet peaches, salty halloumi and asparagus star in this UK-meets-the-Med fusion dish. And because all this beauty can be achieved in under half an hour, it makes the perfect lunch or tasty after work dinner.
The peach adds a sweet twist to the traditional lemon curd. You can spread the peach curd on your toast, use in peach tarts or spread over a simple sponge cake.
What is no BBQ complete without? A mildly spiced salsa with plenty of zing. Serve it with some toasted pitta bread or spoon it on your plate to compliment a smoky, grilled cut of meat.

It is my pleasure to congratulate the Korea IT Times on its inaugural issue. As Korea's only Englishlanguage publication for technology leaders, the Korea IT Times is bound to play an important role in this dynamic industry.
Korea is a world leader in communications technology and during my time here I have been fortunate to observe this leadership firsthand. While the technologies involved change rapidly, Koreans have shown the innovation and hard work necessary to succeed in this competitive global market. I am confident Korea IT Times will contribute to the important goal of making Korea the "Hub of Asia."
We live in an exciting time as the Internet extends to the furthest corners os the globe and instantaneous communication becomes commonplace for billions of people. Technologies that bring people together across continets and cultures can contribute to making the world a more open and peaceful place. I again congratulate the Korea IT Times on their part in this exciting endeavor and send my best wishes for this project's success.
A new monthly magazine-Korea IT Times aiming at introducing the IT industry of the Republic of Korea to the outside world has come out. On the occasion of its first publication, I would like to extend to you my heart-felt congratulation! As the development of IT has ushered in an exciting and fast-changing era, Korea IT Times will serve as a window for the mutual understanding between ROK and the rest of the world.
It is well-known that the advancement of IT industry in ROK for almost ten years, particularly in the aspects such as R&D, Creativity, technological industrialization of information technology, has given a great impetus to the economic development.
I hope that Korea IT Times will provide a platform for information sharing among different sectors in IT circle, give full play to its role as a bridge for China-ROK IT cooperation, make favorable contributions to the regional economic development.
I wish great progress to Korea IT Times!
I am glad to know that the Korea Digital Communications Corporation, a pioneer in the field of information and telecommunication for the past thirty two years, will be launching a new monthly magazine specializing in IT sector called "Korea IT TIMES". Publication like this will go a long way in creating better awareness and understanding about the rapidly developing IT industry in the Republic of Korea.
Whereas the Republic of Korea is very strong in IT hardware, India has emerged as a global player in IT software. Software exports grew from 9.8 billion US dollars in fiscal year 2002-03 to 12 billion US dollars next year. Exports of IT and related services are expected to reach 57 billion US dollars by 2008. The BPO sector is growing at 60-70% annually. Complementarity between the ROK and India needs to be explored and synergised. I think, media can play a very important role in this. I congratulate the publishers and wish them a grand success in their new endeavour.
As is widely known, IT is the most rapidly developing industry in the world and the main economic growth engine of the Korean economy. Russia has also been paying great attention to the development of its IT industry and now has very advanced results in a number of IT sectors.
Our countries, Russia and South Korea, deeply understand the importance of international cooperation for further enhancement of their IT industries. For this reason, the agreement between the Government of the Russian Federation and the Government of the Republic of Korea on science and technology cooperation was concluded in 1990 followed by agreements on industrial cooperation, and cooperation in the field of telecommunications and information technologies. In the framework of joint research programs sponsored and supported by the governments of Russia and South Korea, Russian and Korean research institutes realized more than 20 joint IT projects in the most advanced sectors of IT including microcomputers, nanomaterials, laser technologies, optoelectronics, new radioceramics, ion implantation technology, new program products and new LED technology.
I hope that your new magazine, Korea IT Times, will contribute to the further development of cooperation between our countries in IT field.
The demand for swift and accurate information has never been greater at this time of Korea's remarkable growth in the IT industry. A specialized publication such as Korea IT Times demonstrates a grand initiative in supporting the advancement of Korea's IT sector and technological innovation.
Given the rapid growth of the Korean IT industry, we are in need of more information at a faster rate and with more accuracy. The establishment of the Korea IT Times, offering the latest trends in the IT industry in English, will be a huge step in fostering more foreign investment and enabling faster flow of technology. In addition, it will serve as a catalyst in promoting business between Korean and foreign IT companies for increased productivity and synergy through technological cooperation.
On behalf of American Chamber of Commerce in Korea, I would like to congratulate the Korea IT Times on its successful launch and look forward to witnessing the advancement of the Korean IT sector with the services of the Korea IT Times.
On behalf of the European Union Chamber of Commerce(EUCCK), I would like to express our congratulations to the Korea IT Times magazine on its launch and publication of its first issue. The launch of Korea IT Times marks a critical and exciting point in the relationship between Korea and the European Union.
The European Union became the biggest foreign investor in Korea in 2003 and remains one of Korea's most important trade partners. Our investments in Korea are also a sign of confidence in this country. The European Union Chamber of Commerce represents today the opinion, ideas but also difficulties of 700 members doing business in Korea and dealing daily with issues.
The EUCCK would be pleased to take steps with the Korea IT Times in helping to promote trade and relations in the IT industry between Korea and the European Union.

Are ICU Patients' End-of-Life Plans Being Ignored?
— Study: More than a third who asked for limited treatment still got intensive care
ORLANDO -- Among patients with chronic illnesses nearing the end of life who had physician orders to limit treatment, more than one in three received ICU care that appeared inconsistent with their written wishes, a researcher reported here.
In the retrospective cohort study, 18% patients hospitalized within 6 months of death whose Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST) requested "limited additional interventions" or "comfort measures only" received POLST-discordant life-sustaining treatments, according to Robert Y. Lee, MD, of the University of Washington in Seattle.
And 38% of patients with POLST received intensive care that was potentially discordant with their stated wishes, Lee reported at the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) congress, and simultaneously in JAMA.
However, treatment-limiting POLSTs were associated with significantly lower rates of ICU admission compared with full-treatment POLSTs in the retrospective analysis of outcomes among 1,818 deceased patients with POLSTs.
Lee told MedPage Today that while POLSTs have been shown to give much needed guidance to emergency medical services (EMS) personnel, "once you get to the hospital it is a little less clear from the evidence if POLST orders are having an impact."
Still, he added that it was reassuring that treatment-limiting POLSTs appeared to reduce unwanted ICU admissions among gravely ill patients.
But understanding why so many patients with treatment-limiting POLSTs received seemingly discordant care is more complicated, he stated.
"Our study was not designed to say whether the care these patients received was appropriate or inappropriate, or whether they requested the care they got," he explained. "The patients or a family member may have changed their minds, or they may not have envisioned the scenario that brought them to the ICU."
Newly installed SCCM President Lewis J. Kaplan, MD, of the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine in Philadelphia, told MedPage Today that "I have absolute faith that doctors aren't intentionally ignoring their patient's wishes."
But "There is a great deal of nuance here," he said. "Say a patient with a [life-limiting] chronic disease ruptures a spleen or fractures a rib. That patient may be very happy to be on a ventilator, because they will recover."
The study examined the association between POLST order and ICU admission during the last hospitalization of before death among patients with POLSTs (mean age 70.8m, 41% women). A composite of life-sustaining treatments, including mechanical ventilation, vasopressors, dialysis, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation, was a secondary outcome.
A total of 401 patients (22%) had POLST orders for comfort measures only, 761 (42%) had orders for limited additional interventions, and 656 (36%) had orders for full treatment.
Lee and colleagues reported that 31% (95% CI 26%-35%) of patients with comfort-only orders were admitted to ICUs versus 46% (95% CI 42%-49%) with limited-intervention orders and 62% (95% CI 58%-66%) with full-treatment orders.
Also, one or more life-sustaining treatments were delivered to 14% (95% CI 11%-17%) of patients with comfort-only orders and to 20% (95% CI 17%-23%) of patients with limited-intervention orders.
Compared with patients with full-treatment POLSTs, patients who had the comfort-only and limited-intervention POLSTs were significantly less likely to receive ICU admission:
Comfort only: 123/401 (31%) vs 406/656 (62%), adjusted relative risk 0.53 (95% CI 0.45-0.62)
Limited interventions: 349/761 (46%) vs 406/656 (62%), aRR 0.79 (95% CI 0.71-0.87)
The authors also reported that patients with cancer were significantly less likely to receive POLST-discordant care than those without cancer:
Comfort only: 41/181 (23%) vs 80/220 (36%), aRR 0.60 (95% CI 0.43-0.85)
In addition, dementia patients who had comfort-only orders received less POLST-discordant care than those without dementia (23/111 or 21% vs 98/290 or 34%, aRR 0.44, 95% CI 0.29-0.67).
And patients admitted for traumatic injury were significantly more likely to receive POLST-discordant care:
Comfort only: 29/64 (45%) vs 92/337 (27%), aRR 1.52 (95% CI 1.08-2.14)
Limited interventions: 51/91 (56%) vs 264/670 (39%), aRR 1.36 (95% CI 1.09-1.68)
Among patients with comfort-only and limited-intervention POLSTs, 38% (95% CI 35%-40%) received POLST-discordant care, according to Lee's group.
Old age was associated with significantly less POLST-discordant care in patients with orders directing limited interventions (aRR 0.93 per 10 years, 95% CI 0.88-1.00), they found.
A study limitation was that enrolled patients with POLSTs were hospitalized near the end of life so the findings do not apply to patients with POLSTs who are not hospitalized near the end of life. "Therefore, the results of this study may overestimate the incidence of POLST-discordant care among all patients with POLSTs," Lee and colleagues cautioned.
In an accompanying editorial, Robert Truog, MD, of the Center for Bioethics at Harvard Medical School in Boston, and Terri Fried, MD, of Yale School of Medicine in New Haven, Connecticut, wrote that while it is not clear if the seemingly discordant care identified in the study was actually consistent with the patients' wishes at the time of care, the findings provide "a strong signal that many patients received overtreatment at the end of life, defined either as treatment that is unwanted or treatment that is unlikely to be beneficial."
They said the study provides important new information about "the relationship between POLSTs and overtreatment of patients who are close to death. These insights will assist clinicians in developing strategies to help ensure that patients hospitalized near the end of life receive only those treatments that are both desired and beneficial."
The study was funded by the NIH, Cambia Health Foundation, and the University of Washington Medicine.

Report: Cavs received calls for Andre Drummond and JaVale McGee in aftermath of Jarrett Allen trade

Cavs Rumors: Isaiah Thomas Expected to Make Debut During West Coast Road Trip
Isaiah Thomas has been rumored to be on the verge of returning from his hip injury for quite some time, and now it seems that his finals days of recovery are truly upon us.
The Cleveland Cavaliers' schedule going forward includes a two-game home stand, three games against Eastern Conference opponents, and then a three-game West Coast road trip. According to Sam Amico of AmicoHoops.net, Thomas' return is expected to come during that upcoming road trip out west:
"Isaiah Thomas has been progressing on schedule, and barring any setbacks, the All-Star point guard is on track to make his season debut during the Cleveland Cavaliers' upcoming West Coast trip, league sources told Amico Hoops on Tuesday."
Amico also described the kind of work that 5-foot-9 point guard has been doing as of late, signifying that he is ready for in-game action:
"He has recently taken part in games of four-on-four and three-on-three, and according to sources, looks ready for five-on-five — and possibly even game action," Amico wrote. "'He's ready,' one source said."
Thomas was far and away the most talented player the Cavs received in the trade that sent Kyrie Irving to the Boston Celtics, and while Cleveland has managed to find substantial success without him as of late, his return is welcome news.
Last season, Thomas averaged 28.9 points per game and became one of the most dangerous scorers in the entire NBA. While it will certainly take time for him to find his groove with his new teammates, there is little doubt that he will help make the Cavs the surefire favorites to win the Eastern Conference once again.

How appealing is your silage?
Picture the scene. You're just about to dig into your favorite lunch ahead of a busy afternoon.
There's much less food (or at least dry matter) in there than you originally packed. Worse still, its nutritional value has plummeted.
Will you have enough? Will it sustain you for the afternoon?
If that were you, how would you react? Chances are you'd understandably kick up a fuss. Maybe refuse to eat it, and demand something better.
So why is it that cows are often expected to eat silage that's less than ideal? Especially when quality and quantity losses are so preventable?
Just by preparing and packing the 'lunchbox' in a slightly different way, it could be a very different story.
The moment you put your silage into storage there's a war going on – a war between good and bad bugs.
On the one hand, there are the good guys. The ones you want. Beneficial bacteria that will ferment the natural sugars in forage to 'pickle' it in lovely lactic acid – preserving it with maximum nutritional value in a highly palatable state.
On the other hand there are the bad bacteria. Given half a chance, they'll pounce. As they do their dirty work, sugars are wasted – turned into much less desirable substances like butyric acid and carbon dioxide. All in all, preservation is poorer, dry matter is lost, and the feed value of other vital nutrients, such as proteins, is partially lost.
If you're particularly unlucky, really nasty bacteria such as clostridia can get in there – rendering silage unpalatable and breaking down lactic acid and protein even more.
It's a bit like your valuable silage going up in invisible 'smoke'.
So how do you take back control?
Simple. Rapidly create the conditions that the bad bugs hate.
Certainly, you've got to squeeze all the air out of the feed, and then seal it properly to make sure no more gets in.
But you also want it to ferment (pickle) rapidly. True, there are likely to be some good bugs naturally present on forages. But how do you know if you've got enough?
Plus, bad bugs are likely to be present as well. And this war is a numbers game. Let the bad guys edge in front and you've lost.
That's where a proven additive can come in.
Used correctly, Ecosyl applies the good bacteria to dominate the 'pickling' process providing the best possible outcome. And Ecosyl has been helping farmers take greater control of their silage production for over 30 years.
What's more, our bacteria are grown in a very special way – so that they're 'harvested' in peak condition. You just add water and they get to work rapidly doing what they've been specially selected to do.
Put another way, the contents of that 'silage lunchbox' could be better preserved, more plentiful, more nutritious and more palatable – setting your cows up for the day ahead.
Best of all, by making consistently better silage, you'll be using one of your biggest assets much more efficiently – your home-grown forages. So you could potentially reduce expenditure on bought in feed.
