Pataecus
Pataecidae
Scorpaeniformes
The species grows to a maximum length of 35 cm.
The derivation of the scientific name of the Red Indian Fish is quite interesting. Pataeco (from Greek) was a dwarf-like Phoenician God. This name refers to the likeness of this species to the images of Gods on the bows of ancient sailing vessels. The species name fronto is from the Latin for brow or fore part of anything. This refers to the high first dorsal fin.
The Red Indian Fish is an uncommon species with a compressed body and a long-based dorsal fin. Individuals are often scarlet, brick red or orange. Occasionally they may be pale or have black and/or white spots, mainly on the upper half of the fish. The species lacks pelvic fins and has no scales.
The standard name of the species refers to the long dorsal fin which resembles the popular image of a native North American chief's headdress. The dorsal fin stretches the entire length of the body, and comprises an elevated spiny section joined with a lower, soft-rayed section. This is in turn joined to the caudal fin.
Fishes of the family Pataecidae are collectively known as prowfishes. This is one of the few families that is endemic to Australia. Three species are known; the Red Indian Fish, the Warty Prowfish, Aetapcus maculatus, and the Whiskered Prowfish, Neopataecus waterhousii. The Red Indian Fish is the only species in the genus Pataecus.
The species is reported to live in water of 20 m to 80 m depth, but is sometimes seen as shallow as 10 m.
Red Indian Fish are found primarily in sponge beds, in rocky reefs and estuaries. Their colouration and distinctive shape result in fish being well camouflaged among sponges.
Divers also observe them on cracks in reef walls and lying on bare rocky substrates.
The Red Indian Fish is endemic to Australia, occurring in temperate and subtropical coastal marine waters from southern Queensland to southern New South Wales and from South Australia to the central coast of Western Australia.
The map below shows the Australian distribution of the species based on public sightings and specimens in Australian Museums.
Fishes in the family Pataecidae eat mainly shrimps and other crustaceans.
The Red Indian Fish is known to periodically shed its skin in one complete piece. This rids the fish of the encrusting algae and bryozoans that grow on the skin and improve its camouflage. Little is known of its the biology.
The species is an underwater photographers' delight because, unlike most fishes, it does not swim off when discovered, but stays motionless during the photographic session.
Individuals are often observed rocking back and forth with the surge of passing waves. This makes the fish look less fish-like and more sponge-like.
Red Indian Fish have an unusual swimming 'style'. If an individual is removed from a sponge and released above the bottom it will twist, fall and spin back to its position on the sponge. Whilst it is doing so, it resembles a large dead leaf sinking through the water. The remarkable thing about this behaviour is that the fish is in complete control of the 'fall', and can 'fall' against a current to land back in the spot from which it was removed, but all the time it looks nothing like a fish.
The species is sometimes accidentally captured in commercial trawl nets, but is of no commercial importance.

We've already covered the various places to have pints with a side of corned beef and cabbage on St. Paddy's Day. Now comes the time to talk about to do it wisely with safety in mind; we all want to come home in one piece, right?
Don't let guests mix their own drinks.
Never serve alcohol to anyone under the legal drinking age of 21.
Provide plenty of food to make sure your guests don't drink on an empty stomach.
Offer non-alcoholic beverages with festive names.
Don't rely on coffee to sober up guests.
MADD offers more suggestions in their Safe Party Guide.
It may also be wise to find alternatives to driving, such as Regional Transit, to get to and from festivities. Taxis such as Sacramento Yellow Cab (916-444-2222) may also provide safe transportation to someone whose had one too many drinks. Sacramento State students can use Safe Rides (916-278-8294), which extends throughout most of the City of Sacramento; be sure to have your OneCard.
Bottom line: be safe and have fun.


1 The AAPC C ode of Ethics may be reproduced only after contacting the AAPC Association Office to insure that the most current copy of the Code can be provided.
2 The use of "member", "we", "us", and "our" refers to and is binding upon all levels of individual and institutional membership and affiliation of AAPC.
As members2 of the American Association of Pastoral Counselors, we are respectful of the various theologies, traditions, and values of our faith communities and committed to the dignity and worth of each individual. We are dedicated to advancing the welfare of those who seek our assistance and to the maintenance of high standards of professional conduct and competence. As pastoral counselors and pastoral counseling students we are accountable for our work regardless of our professional functions, the settings in which we work, or the populations which we serve. This accountability is expressed in our conduct of relationships with clients, colleagues, students, our faith communities, and through the acceptance and practice of the principles and procedures of this Code of Ethics. The Code articulates standards that the Association will use to determine whether pastoral counselors have engaged in unethical conduct. In subscribing to this Code, pastoral counselors are required to be knowledgeable of these standards, cooperate with association procedures for responding to complaints of ethical misconduct, participate in AAPC adjudication proceedings, and abide by any AAPC disciplinary rulings or sanctions. The Ethics Code is not intended to be a basis of civil liability. Whether a pastoral counselor has violated the Ethics Code standards does not by itself determine whether the pastoral counselor is legally liable in a court action, whether a contract is enforceable, or whether other legal consequences occur.
A. To affirm the importance of being both spiritually grounded and psychologically informed.
B. To maintain responsible association with the faith group with which we identify and in which we may have ecclesiastical standing.
C. To avoid discriminating against or refusing employment, educational opportunity or professional assistance to anyone on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, health status, age, disabilities or national origin; provided that nothing herein shall limit a member or center from utilizing religious requirements or exercising a religious preference in employment decisions.
D. As members of AAPC we recognize our responsibility to stay current with research that affects our understanding of clinical issues and the conduct of our practice. We agree at all levels of membership to continuing education and professional growth including supervision, consultation, and active participation in the meetings and affairs of the Association.
E. To seek out and engage in collegial relationships, recognizing that isolation can lead to a loss of perspective and judgment.
G. To assess/evaluate, diagnose or provide treatment only for those problems or issues that are within the reasonable boundaries of our competence.
H. To establish and maintain appropriate professional relationship boundaries. We will make every effort to be transparent with congregations and other public constituencies about the boundaries we hold.
I. To remain abreast of and to comply with appropriate regulatory statute that governs our pastoral counseling activities. " Should clients be in a different state than the pastoral counselor, we will comply with regulatory statutes in that state as well ." Whenever the AAPC Code differs with legal mandates, pastoral counseling licensure laws, or with ecclesiastical policies, the more stringent of the two applies.
J. To promote racial justice and develop multicultural competence as part of our practice.
In all professional matters members of AAPC maintain practices that protect the public and advance the profession.
A. We use our knowledge and professional associations for the benefit of the people we serve and not to secure unfair personal advantage.
B. We clearly represent our level of membership and limit our practice to that level. Publication of practice or agency material clearly explains the levels of membership that apply to individuals.
C. Fees and financial arrangements, as with all contractual matters, are always discussed without hesitation or equivocation at the onset and are established in a straightforward, professional manner.
D. We are prepared to render service to individuals and communities in crisis without regard to financial remuneration when necessary.
E. We neither receive nor pay a commission for referral of a client.
F. We conduct our practice, agency, regional and association fiscal affairs with due regard to recognized business and accounting procedures. We respect the prerogatives and obligations of the institutions, agencies, or organizations by whom we are employed or with which we associate.
G. Upon the transfer of a pastoral counseling practice or the sale of real, personal, tangible or intangible property or assets used in such practice, the privacy and well being of the client shall be of primary concern.
a. Client names and records shall be excluded from the transfer or sale.
b. Any fees paid shall be for services rendered, consultation, equipment, real estate, and the name and logo of the counseling agency.
c. We provide recent and current clients information regarding the closing or transferring of our practice and assure the confidentiality of their records.
H. We are careful to represent facts truthfully to clients, referral sources, and third party payers regarding credentials and services rendered. We shall correct any misrepresentation of our professional qualifications or affiliations.
I. We do not malign other professionals, nor do we plagiarize or otherwise present, distribute, or publish another's work as our own.
It is the responsibility of members of AAPC to maintain relationships with clients on a professional basis. We take all reasonable steps to avoid harming our clients and to safeguard the welfare of those with whom we work.
A. We do not abandon or neglect clients. We make reasonable efforts to ensure continuity of services in the event that services are interrupted by factors such as unavailability, relocation, illness, or disability. If we are unwilling for appropriate reasons, to provide professional help or continue a professional relationship, every reasonable effort is made to arrange for continuation of treatment with another professional. Prior to leaving an agency or practice we complete all files and paper work is documented and signed.
B. We make only realistic statements regarding the pastoral counseling process and its outcome. We inform our clients of the purpose of the counseling, risks related to counseling, possible limits to the services because of third party payer limits, reasonable alternatives, clients rights to refuse or withdraw consent, and the time frame covered by the consent. We take reasonable steps to make sure the client understands the counseling process and has the opportunity to ask questions.
C. We show sensitive regard for the moral, social, and religious values and beliefs of clients and communities. We avoid imposing our beliefs on others, although we may express them when appropriate in the pastoral counseling process.
D. Counseling relationships are continued only so long as it is reasonably clear that the clients are benefiting from the relationship.
E. We recognize the trust placed in and unique power of the therapeutic relationship. While acknowledging the complexity of some pastoral relationships, we avoid exploiting the trust and dependency of clients. We avoid those dual or multiple relationships with clients which could impair our professional judgment, compromise the integrity of the treatment, and/or use the relationship for our own gain. A multiple relationship occurs when a pastoral counselor is in a professional role with a person and 1) at the same time is in another role with the same person, 2) at the same time is in a relationship with a person closely associated with or related to the person with whom the pastoral counselor has the professional relationship, or 3) promises to enter into another relationship in the future with the person or a person closely associated with or related to the person. In instances when dual or multiple relationships are unavoidable, particularly within congregations or in family or couples counseling, we take reasonable steps to protect the clients and are responsible for setting clear and appropriate boundaries.
F. We do not engage in harassment, abusive words or actions, or exploitative coercion of clients or former clients.
G. All forms of sexual behavior or harassment with clients are unethical, even when a client invites or consents to such behavior or involvement. Sexual behavior is defined as, but not limited to, all forms of overt and covert seductive speech, gestures, written communication, and behavior as well as physical contact of a sexual nature; harassment is defined as but not limited to, repeated comments, gestures, written communication, or physical contacts of a sexual nature.
H. We recognize that the therapist/client relationship involves a power imbalance, the residual effects of which are operative following the termination of the therapy relationship. Therefore, all sexual behavior or harassment as defined in Principle III G, with former clients is unethical.
Interactive long-distance counseling delivery, when the client resides in one location and the pastoral counselor in another, may be utilized to supplement but not to completely replace face-to-face therapy. We take all reasonable steps to ensure that the client understands the limits of long-distance therapy, the computer application, what it is used for, and its possible effects.
C. We recognize that confidentiality belongs to the client. We treat all communications from clients with professional confidence and take reasonable precautions to protect confidential information obtained through or stored in any medium. These precautions include an awareness of the limited confidentiality guarantees of electronic communication.
A. We do not engage in ongoing counseling relationships with current supervisees, students and employees.
B. We do not engage in sexual or other harassment of supervisees, students, employees, research subjects or colleagues.
C. All forms of sexual behavior, as defined in Principle III.G, with our supervisees, students, research subjects and employees (except in employee situations involving domestic partners) are unethical.
D. We advise our students, supervisees, and employees against offering or engaging in, or holding themselves out as competent to engage in, professional services beyond their training, level of experience and competence.
E. Supervisors have a responsibility to provide timely and fair evaluations of their supervisees and employees.
F. We do not harass or dismiss an employee who has acted in a reasonable, responsible and ethical manner to protect, or intervene on behalf of, a client or other member of the public or another employee.
G. To protect the public, employers and supervisors who have dismissed employees and supervisees for ethical cause must report that fact as part of any official report of service or enrollment in a pastoral counseling center or training program.
H. We are sensitive to the requirements of an organization with which we are affiliated or for whom we are working. In case of conflict with the Code of Ethics and the organization, we clarify the nature of the conflict, make known our commitment to the Code of Ethics, and to the extent feasible, resolve the conflict in a way that permits adherence to the Code.
As members of AAPC we relate to and cooperate with other professional persons in our community and beyond. We are part of a network of health care professionals and are expected to develop and maintain interdisciplinary and interprofessional relationships.
A. We do not offer ongoing clinical services to persons currently receiving treatment from another professional without prior knowledge of and in consultation with the other professional, with the clients' informed consent. Soliciting such clients is unethical.
B. We exercise care and interprofessional courtesy when approached for services by persons who claim or appear to have inappropriately terminated treatment with another professional.
A. We do not misrepresent our professional qualifications, affiliations and functions, or falsely imply sponsorship or certification by any organization.
B. We may use the following information to describe ourselves and the services we provide: name; highest relevant academic degree earned from an accredited institution; date, type and level of certification or licensure; AAPC membership level, clearly stated; address and telephone number; office hours; a brief review of services offered, e.g., individual, couple and group counseling; fee information; languages spoken; and policy regarding third party payments. Additional relevant information may be provided if it is legitimate, reasonable, free of deception and not otherwise prohibited by these principles. We may not use the initials "AAPC" after our names in the manner of an academic degree.
C. Announcements and brochures promoting our services describe them with accuracy and dignity, devoid of all claims or evaluation. We may send them to professional persons, religious institutions and other agencies, but to prospective individual clients only in response to inquiries.
1. A false, fraudulent, misleading, deceptive or unfair statement.
2. A misrepresentation of fact or a statement likely to mislead or deceive because in context it makes only a partial disclosure of relevant facts.
3. A testimonial from a client regarding the quality of services or products.
4. A statement intended or likely to create false or unjustified expectations of favorable results.
5. A statement implying unusual, unique, or one‑of‑a‑kind abilities, including misrepresentation through sensationalism, exaggeration or superficiality.
6. A statement intended or likely to exploit a client's fears, anxieties or emotions.
7. A statement concerning the comparative desirability of offered services.
8. A statement of direct solicitation of individual clients.
E. We do not compensate in any way a representative of the press, radio, television or other communication medium for the purpose of professional publicity and news items. A paid advertisement must be identified as such, unless it is contextually apparent that it is a paid advertisement. We are responsible for the content of such advertisement. Any advertisement to the public by radio or television is to be pre-recorded, approved by us and a recording of the actual transmission retained in our possession.
F. Advertisements, web postings or announcements by us of workshops, clinics, seminars, growth groups or similar services or endeavors, are to give a clear statement of purpose and a clear description of the experiences to be provided. The education, training and experience of the provider(s) involved are to be appropriately specified.
1. Purpose and sponsorship of the research, expected duration, expected procedures, and the manner and scope of reporting on the findings of the research.
2. Their right to withdraw from participation at any time.
3. Any consequences of withdrawing from a research project.
4. Any discomfort or adverse effects of research procedures that would influence a subject's willingness to participate.
5. Any benefits from participating in a research project.
6. A contact person for questions about the project or participant's rights.
B. Pastoral Counselors take appropriate measures to protect research subjects who may also be receiving pastoral counseling services in schools, agencies, private practices, or churches in which research is conducted.
1. Taking steps to protect client/participants from any adverse consequences of declining or withdrawing a study.
2. Taking steps to assure clients are not exploited by research-related dual relationships.
3. Assuring that therapeutic services are not compromised by research procedures or goals.
4. To the extent that services may be compromised by participation in research, investigators seek the ethical advice of qualified professionals not directly involved in the investigation and observe safeguards to protect the rights of research participants.
C. Pastoral Counselors guarantee confidentiality of information obtained from a research participant unless confidentiality is waived in writing. When it is possible that information might be recognized by others (including family members) researchers disclose a plan for protecting confidentiality as part of informed consent.
1. Pastoral Counselors consider the effects of research procedures on communities in which it takes place, and take adequate precautions to protect the integrity of these communities.
2. Pastoral Counselors comply with Federal standards and local institutional review procedures governing human subject research. When AAPC is a principal investigator, the Judicial Ethics Panel of AAPC will act as a review board to ensure compliance.
c. Pastoral counselors do not withhold their research data, methods of analysis, or procedures from other qualified researchers who in good faith wish to replicate or validate research results, to the extent that confidentiality of research subjects can be guaranteed.
A. The Association will develop and maintain a set of procedures for receiving, investigating and adjudicating complaints of ethical misconduct against a member.
1. AAPC will direct the Executive Director and his/her staff in the association office to receive complaints.
2. AAPC will establish and maintain a Judicial Ethics Panel to investigate and adjudicate complaints.
B. AAPC will take complaints of ethical misconduct with the utmost seriousness and will exercise appropriate care and diligence in responding both to the complainant and the member.
Please Note: The AAPC Code of Ethics and the Ethics Committee Procedures were separated by action of the AAPC membership on April 17, 1993. The Board of Directors is now authorized to modify ethics committee procedures without further action by the membership. Members should note that the substantive rule from the Code of ethics to be applied to an alleged violation will continue to be determined by the date of the alleged violation and not the date the complaint is received. However, as a result of the action taken, the current procedures in effect will be followed for all complaints brought after April 17, 1993, regardless of the date of alleged violation.

The Canterville Ghost
By Oscar Wilde
Genre: Horreur, monstres et fantômes
From 7 Ratings
A terrifying ghost is haunting the ancient mansion of Canterville Chase, complete with creaking floorboards, clanking chains and gruesome disguises - but the new occupants seem strangely undisturbed by his presence. Deftly contrasting the conventional gothic ghost story with the pragmatism of the modern world, Wilde creates a gently comic fable of the conflict between old and new. Rupert Degas' hilarious reading brings the absurdity and theatricality of the story to life.

Oscar Wilde's Wit and Wisdom

redpajama_set_name: RedPajamaCommonCrawl


I was in the car this morning when I heard on the news that Barney Frank was retiring and would not run for re-election.
Obviously there is a lot of snark which could be thrown around, but this represents a bigger deal than Barney. As more and more senior Democrats retire, the realization is sinking in that there is no next generation of Democrats.
The Democrats face a political decapitation tomorrow.
Dozens of senior Democratic Party leaders in the House and Senate, and in Statehouses around the country, are likely to lose. Unlike Republicans in 2008, there is no next generation of Democratic leaders.
Who are the Democratic Party equivalents of Marco Rubio, Mitch Daniels, John Thune, Bobby Jindal, Paul Ryan or Eric Cantor?
The Republican Party has numerous rising stars. I cannot think of a single Democratic Party rising star.
The Democratic congressional problem remains the same. Democrats in Congress have lost both their past and their future. Barney Frank's retirement is just another example.
Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) is the 17th House Democrat to announce a retirement this cycle compared to seven Republicans.
And all of those Republicans are trying to win higher office.
Of the Democratic retirements, eight are running for another position while nine are flat-out retiring….
He went into politics to steal and walk away from it. Now, there's nothing left to steal. Unfortunately these Dem thieves never get prosecuted, they only go after businesses.
Barney Frank should be in prison for what he has perpetrated on the American people… and he can take Dodd with him.
I wanted to see Barney serve one more term. 15 to life.
hoping Sean gets another whack at the Barney seat….
I see that Rep. Charlie Gonzalez (D-TX), the son who replaced the catatonic Henry Gonzalez (who was unable to return to the House when Newt & his gang of Republicans took over), has also decided not to run again. They cite redistricting, but Texas is getting more seats based on the census so I doubt that claim.
TX redistricting got challenged in court and won't be completed prior to the election. Worse, the district lines for 2012 were 'temporarily' redrawn by 3 federal judges.
The 2012 TX districts are an extremely favorable Democratic gerrymander, including the creation of a new majority-minority Hispanic district.
So, Gonzalez' claim that redistricting though possible (I'm not familiar with his district) is most likely nonsense.
I am certain that the Demoncrats can find a replacement for Barney F.. Remember it is deep blue MA. This is a non-story so far as the Dems v. Reps. is concerned. As a matter of fact, it might be beneficial for the Demoncrats to seen the end of his "service" to the country.
MA lost a House seat due to redistricting. The new lines affected Barney's district by adding a town (Newton, I think) that leans a bit right.
Despite the above, if Barney had chosen to run again I have no doubt he'd have won. I suspect his retirement has more to do with D prospects of regaining control of the House, the lack of influence of the minority Party in the House, and his age.
Heh, speaking of which, that leaves Maxine Waters ranking D on the House Banking committee.
Remember a couple years ago what happened when Charlie Rangle lost his committee position due to his ethics issues? It left Pete Stark (D-raving mad) as ranking member and the D's had to pressure him into letting someone else be the committee chair.
Didn't the D's have a rising star back when you wrote that post?
Anthony Wiener sure was on TV alot, how'd that work out?
There's a blog entry from the NYT website detailing a somewhat bizarre Obama 2012 campaign move that dovetails somewhat with Mr Frank's departure, the deliberate throwing of Joe Lunchpail, the man in the breadlines and soup kitchens, and the voter that put FDR into office in 1932, under the bus.
I've long believed that the Republican platform represents the interests of the working class – both union and non-union. D's are the Party of Big Government. They represent people that live off of the government – either by working for it directly or living off various forms of welfare.
If the 30 point edge had over D's with White working-class voters in 2010 holds firm (and this will be more likely if D's do as the article suggests and stop fighting for these votes) then the Democratic Party is finished.
There simply aren't enough 'liberal elites' and minorities to give them a majority of the votes. Worse, they don't have anywhere near the hold on Hispanic voters as they do over Blacks. Never will. As more Hispanics become integrated into society, their economic interest will coincide more with the Republican platform.
D's are in danger of becoming the Party of urban slums, college towns and capital cities.
With these many Democrts leaving office, who will protect Eric Holder and Barak Obama from their law breaking?
No, Fred Davis did the demon sheep ad.
The Senate should be elected by state legislatures.
A true "citizen's legislature" would solve a lot of problems and truly make the House the people's house again.
Andrew Cuomo is probably the closest thing Democrats have to a star and plausible 2016 presidential contender. The Republicans are feeling the effects of our wipeout in 2006/2008 right now, just look at our candidates for president. I hope the Dems are unable to bounce back as fast as we did.
Oh, you must mean this Andrew Cuomo who was instrumental player in 1998 help causing the housing market problem.
Please don't get sucked in by Jindal. I live in Louisiana and can assure you that Jindal is not a conservative. He is another Bush.
In 2010, more than 700 state level House/Senate seats passed from D to R control (there's a grand total of 7384 state House and Senate seats nationwide). This is where your bench begins its development. The 2010 wipeout at the state level will effect D's for decades.
Frank is obviously the most well known, as well as the most powerful D in this lot.
Dan Boren and Mike Ross are 2 of the 26 "Blue Dog" D's to survive the 2010 election – which cut their coalition in half.
'Moderates' in Congress are an endangered species.
I thought Newton was extreme left. Wasn't this the town that voted to accept Gitmo detainees a couple of years ago when obama was trying to find them a home in the US?
My mistake, its Walpole they added to Frank's district.
There're plenty of liberals there, but inmates at Walpole State Penitentiary aren't allowed to vote.
Newton's just where he gave his press conference, its not in his district and won't be after redistricting.
As you might have noticed from my reaction to his retirement, I'm pretty excited about this news. I've despised Barney Frank since 1980. I grew up in N. Attleboro, MA, which used to be part of his district (he spoke at my High School graduation). Remember how the Professor felt about Patrick Kennedy? That's how I feel now, except Frank was in office more than twice as long and did far more damage than Kennedy did. Of course, not everyone is all bad – Barney did nominate me for entrance to the Naval Academy.
1. Frank was handily reelected in 2008 despite his flagrant role in bringing on the crisis. I suspect there is more to his retirement than has come out so far.
2. @mikehinton: I agree with you about Cuomo. There may be stealthy competence there which we do not expect from a Democrat.
You made a perceptive point regarding the relationship between 2006/8 and this year's slim Presidential pickings for the GOP. Heckuva job, George. Again.
you mean there will be ANOTHER coming out of barney frank?
Well, this is good news for a lot of reasons, but really bad news for my pet project, Online Poker.
1. the members of the Democrat noble class do not yield office other than to force majeure. That functionally means either being kicked out by the voters, an indictment that they cannot finesse [most can be], or death.
2. even if the Democrats remain in minority status, his committee chairmanship is still both a personal power base and a huge source of personal income and political contributions for both himself and the Democrats. Crony capitalism is very renumerative.
3. yet, he is bailing, based on announced redistricting factors that are false.
4. thus we are reduced to the initial 3 factors of force majeure.
5. there is no way that he is not going to be re-elected. This is, after all, the Peoples' Republic of Mass. Further, there is not any indication that he has any terminal illness; although that may change later. Being a not-nice person, I am hoping for something lingering and painful; and a sudden personal revelation that there is an umbribable Deity that he has to account to would be a bonus.
6. that leaves the possibility of an indictment that cannot be dodged. Factors: a) Breitbart, I understand, has announced that he is going to release "something big" on December 4. b) if electoral politics are in fact operative in 2012 [Democrats have been indicating the other possibility]; it is pretty sure that the Republican majority in the House will increase and that the Senate majority will switch to the Republicans. That later point may [not definite because much of the Institutional Republican Party are Vichy-ite collaborators with the Democrats] indicate that the Democrats in the Senate will not be able to stall investigations of the thefts and corruption for the last few decades. Such would not be conducive to a long and quiet retirement. c) not being in office makes it easier to take himself, his ill gotten gains, and his boy-toy of the moment out of US jurisdiction.
#2 He hasn't been Committee Chair since January, '11, when the Republicans took control of Congress. The majority party controls all committee chairs and sets the agenda – one of the reasons why Party ID is so important. Currently, he's ranking D on the committee, R's have the majority of seats and the Chair.
I certainly hope there's something more to this – would love to see Barney #Occupy Prison.
thanks for the heads up about an imminent Breitbart announcement.
this line concerns me, but feeds into my own greatest fear: "b) if electoral politics are in fact operative in 2012 [Democrats have been indicating the other possibility".] 'nuf said about that: the unspoken is sufficiently horrible.
My second greatest fear is hacking of enough voting machines to turn the election. In the past, the Not-Democrats had only to win by a majority – plus the margin of voter fraud/voter registration fraud – say 4-5%. (Republicans lost any close elections after the votes were counted when "forgotten" ballot boxes of votes were discovered in the trunks of Democrat voting officials' cars – a la Al Frankenstein.) Now, we are faced with another Harry Reid type victory election (this time for the highest office in the land) wherein voters in Nevada reported watching their cast vote change before their eyes – only to learn soon after Election Day that the SEIU "maintained" the voting booths in Nevada.
Are there any brilliant IT companies out there which can invent a device to sweep voting machines for planted hacking devices – much as spy organizations use electronics to sweep rooms for 'bugs'?
He who quotes Politico quotes bovine offal. Don't waste your time, it only reflects on you.
I would add that "you are known by the sources you quote as an authoritative source".
Eight of these Nine Democrats retiring have a Z in their surname..?
When you see the rats jumping off you know the ship is sinking.
The reason why the fat rat known as Frank would bail out is because he senses that the ship of state is sinking.
This does not bode well for the nation. If a double-dealing, lying, cheating, hypocritical sack of snot like Frank doesn't see a profit in staying in politics then things are headed for a major shakeup and quite possibly not anything good.
Best keep your eyes open, people. It's gonna get bumpy.
Obama was supposed to be their rising star… Here in CA we have the former SF mayor is a noted airhead Gavin Newsom. He wanted to run for the governorship, but figured he's over his head, which, I suppose, makes him smarter than Obama. So now he's the lieutenant governor, which is pretty much an honorary position.

Nintendo's 3D-Capable 3DS: Five Questions
By Ian Paul
PCWorld |
Nintendo announced on Tuesday that it is developing a 3D-capable version of its Nintendo DS mobile gaming device, tentatively named the Nintendo 3DS. Nintendo says that the portable gaming machine won't require any special glasses to view 3D images, and that the devices will hit store shelves before the end of the company's current fiscal year, ending March 2011.
Beyond that, however, there's very little information about Nintendo's plans. So, here's what I'm wondering:
What will glasses-free 3D mean?
Most of the development work on glasses-free 3D has been directed at high-definition televisions and computer monitors. Usually, special glasses are needed to separate the onscreen 3D image into two sections (one special lens for each eye), but now some companies are developing screen overlays that do this work. But this technology typically requires you to be in one specific position in front of the screen to view the 3D image. Move away from that 'sweet spot' and the 3D effect is lost. Some companies, like Singapore-based Sunny Ocean Studios, are developing screen overlays that make it possible to view a 3D image from more than one angle.
So what kind of overlay will the Nintendo 3DS use? Will you be able to see the image from multiple angles and share the 3D fun with people watching you play video games over your shoulder, or will the 3D image be viewable from one angle only?
It should be noted that there are other solutions to glasses-free 3D, but most of them require a camera to monitor the viewing angle of the user, and don't look very practical for a mobile gaming device.
When will we see the Nintendo 3DS?
Nintendo has not announced a specific launch date, but you can expect the Nintendo 3DS to hit store shelves within the next twelve months, according to a company press release. However, it's not clear whether the device will be launched in Japan first, followed by a later U.S. release, or if the 3DS will be released worldwide within the next year.
Nintendo plans to announce more information about the Nintendo 3DS during the 2010 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3). E3 runs from June 15-17 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
What about legacy issues?
Even though moving to 3D sounds like a major technology jump--which typically causes issues for backwards compatibility--Nintendo says the 3DS will be fully backwards compatible with Nintendo DS and DSi games.
How much will the 3DS cost?
Nintendo has not announced any pricing for the 3DS, so it's not clear yet how much the new mobile gaming console will cost.
Will the DS get a form factor overhaul?
Since the 3DS will reportedly be backwards compatible with older Nintendo DS games, I'm guessing the company is going to stick with the dual-screen with stylus format of the DS. But I wonder if it wouldn't make more sense for Nintendo to develop something with a single, bigger screen that looks more like the Sony PSP (or the old Nintendo Gameboy Advance) than the current versions of the Nintendo DS.
Then again, the DS dual-screen form factor has been wildly popular with users. Nintendo says it has sold more than 125 million DS and DSi units since introducing the gaming device in 2004, and the company is launching its Nintendo DSi XL in the coming weeks. So perhaps it's wiser not to mess with success. I just hope the screen is large enough to really show off all that 3D image rendering.

Another exclusive part of Long Beach Township that has very few paved roads. Most homes are accessed by private easements. Way back in the day . . . bay to ocean courtesies were given between home owners when there was only one house on the bay and one on the ocean. Time and development marched on filling in the land from ocean to bay and with it came legal rights deeded to each owner. One forward looking developer created North Beach Estates; a U-shaped development of bayside homes each having access to a bayfront park area and dock plus ocean access for a nominal fee as part of an association. Today there are several designated ocean accesses for the bayside people, but there are no bay accesses provided. There is no commercial business so residents rely on Harvey Cedars to the north and Surf City to the south for those conveniences. Sales appeal to those happy to be just north of Surf City conveniences, but still enjoy the peace and privacy of this area. Vacation rentals include cottages, a few duplexes and 4-5 bedroom contemporaries. Prices are based on location and amenities. Let one of our agents expand on this for you.


I'm going on a short backpacking camping trip-up next week for 5 days just west of Denver. This is likely to be my first backpacking journey and the only sleeping bag I have is a large, down pouch that weighs a ton, so I'm in the market for a better one.
I'm male, 6′ 1″, wide-shouldered, median build. Where we're headed is at 11,000 ft and the low temps at night get to about 40 degrees which I guess entails I'm aiming for a 30 -3 5 degree bag. I sleep hot in bed at home, often exposing my legs or feet from under the cover-ups. I was looking at the following containers and decided on the Marmot Quark 30. There aren't many reviews out there on the container, so I was wondering could someone more experienced could please look at the bag and tell me if there are any advising flags with the bag? It sits in the perfect place in my budget and the weight and sizing of the purse seem perfect for backpacking.

UK: Investment support to a major energy supplier
On 2 December 2015, the European Investment Bank agreed to provide 474.57 million EUR for the supply of smart gas and electricity meters to "a major energy supplier in the United Kingdom", as part of the European Fund for Strategic Investments (henceforth: EFSI). However, the EIB did not reveal which company exactly would receive this investment support.
According to the EFSI information sheet, the supplied meters will improve the supply of gas and electricity by the given supplier.
The financing provided by the EIB will mobilise investments of 1377.97 million EUR.
EFSI support does not fall under EU State Aid rules as it is meant as a tool to address "market failures or sub-optimal investment situations". However, the investment support does include favourable conditions in the form of public assumption of risk.
As described in the European Commission's Fact Sheet form 20 July 2015: "The type of risk-financing instruments will be designed so as to take uncertainty out ("first loss protection") of as such viable projects and therefore crowd-in private sector investments. Since the EFSI will take riskier tranches in investment projects, the private sector will be able to join under more favourable conditions." Furthermore, the EIB states that "The new initiative 'i.e. the EFSI' will benefit from the EIB's strong credit standing that enables funding at favourable conditions and across maturities".
A state measure in the GTA database is assessed solely in terms of the extent to which its implementation affects foreign commercial interests. On this metric, the investment support proposed here is discriminatory.
The measure does not specify any HS codes, as the investment support discriminates against other service providers, namely gas and electricity suppliers, rather than producers of electricity (2716) or gas (2711).

Back in 2002 John Peel had a shed which, you will not be surprised to read, was full of records. He needed to empty this shed so he launched a competition in which 10 winners would get around 200-250 records each from the shed. The compo was to describe his radio programme in 20 words or less, for use in a possible Sony Award nomination.
In his show broadcast on 17th January 2002, Peel announced the winners and one of them was John Osborne.
The winning and the receiving of all these records inspired John to go on and write a book, record his own radio broadcast and eventually perform in a show with a live tour.
Let's start with the book : Radio Head: Up and Down the Dial of British Radio which was published in 2009. And you can grab via that Amazon link for a seriously low price (no affiliates or anything, just buy the book).
The book starts with John (Osborne's) memories of listening to Radio 1 and John (Peel). From here he goes on tangents of listening to other radio presenters and radio stations. Noting down his own observations and of those from these broadcasts. John's anecdotes and humorous and warm. As I said, buy the book.
John eventually did something with the records and in 2010 he approached a local community radio station near him – Future Radio and talked to them about making his own radio show. From that came a five episode broadcast which he called John Peel's Shed. In his shows John plays some of his favourite tracks and highlights others, telling the stories behind some of the recording artists and songs.
You can also find it on YouTube here.
John went on tour with that show and is back out again (early 2019). It's a double show: John Peel's Shed and then: Circled In The Radio Times.
You can find the dates and venues here.
Back to those Future Radio broadcasts – They went out on 2010 and were also made available to download as podcast episodes. But sadly the Future Radio website was updated and they were not available any more. Luckily John uploaded them to Podomatic – but another but here: sadly episode 4 went missing.
15. Dusted – Always remember to honour and respect your mother.
15. Raz Ohara – Far's song.
1. Walter Ghoul and his Lavender Brigade – Frumpy and the strange machine.
6. Michael Sheehey – The Licensing Song.
7. The Now Time Delegation – Little Miss Fortune.
16. Screaming Lord Sutch – Scream and Scream.
Thank you John (Peel, of course) and to you John (Osborne) for creating these great shows. Again thanks to Keith Jackson for the invaluable help.


The installation the fictional Arky discovers—which is based on a real piece of performance art that took place in 2010—is inexplicably powerful.
This lively book, from one of America's best known theatre critics, tells the story of Broadway's renaissance from the darkest days of the AIDS crisis, through the disaster that was Spiderman: Turn off the Dark to the unparalleled success of Lin-Manuel Miranda's Hamilton. Through a loving look at some of our most well-known plays, Chris Jones shows that the theatre thrived by embracing bold statements and taking part in the national conversation.

Book Review: Fatal Tide
Adventure racing is a demanding sport. Competitors know that going in as they challenge themselves against the other racers and the course itself. The traditional AR disciplines of trail running, mountain biking, and padding have inherent dangers, and when you combine them in a sport like adventure race, occasionally people get hurt, and while it doesn't happen often, sometimes people die.
One such incident is the subject of the book Fatal Tide by David Leach. Back in June of 2002, an adventure race called the Fundy Multi-Sport Race was held in Staint John New Brunswick, Canada. It was an event designed for beginners and meant to be an introduction to the sport, with solo racers expecting to compete in a "sprint" race meant to last about eight hours.
Most of the 68 competitors were out for a good time. They were a mix of local triathletes, casual runners, and armchair adventurers, each wanting to give this new sport a try. The course was designed to wind it's way through Saint John, beginning with a 15 km trail run, followed by a 40 km mountain bike ride, with a 12 km paddle capping the day. That last leg of the race was across the famed Bay of Fundy, which is renowned for having some of the biggest tides in the world, matched up with crazy Atlantic storms.
When the racers set off that day, it was a clear and calm morning. The perfect way to start off a day of active, outdoor adventures. By the time the lead racers reached the kayaking segment, the weather was beginning to shift, with the infamous Bay starting to brew up one of it's equally infamous storms. When the rank-and-file racers back in the pack set out onto the water, the fickle weather turned for the worse, catching them in their tiny kayaks far from shore. As a result, a young local racer named Rene Arseneault had his kayak rolled, depositing him in the icy water of the Bay.
Eventually, Arseneault crawled out of the water and onto another racer's kayak. Both men were later pulled from the choppy, heaving water by a lobster boat, where the crew rendered aid, and made way for the harbor as fast as they could. Unfortunately, Arseneault had spent too much time in the cold water, and he would later succumb to hypothermia, becoming one of the first athletes to die as a result of injuries suffered in an adventure race.
Fatal Tide tells the story of that fateful day in a very straight forward, and journalistic manner. The events leading up to, during, and following the race are all laid out in great detail, with the story unfolding in a dramatic and compelling fashion that draws readers in and keeps the pages turning.
The first few chapters of the book are dedicated to introducing the key players in the race, including Jayme Frank and Sara Vlug, the co-directors of the race, several of the competitors, and of course Arseneault himself. These profiles help us to understand these people before we ever get into the heart of the story, and it gives a more personal edge to the events that unfold later. One other early chapter gives a brief history of adventure racing, and it's growth as a sport, giving Mark Burnett of Eco-Challenge fame much of the credit for popularizing it.
The bulk of the rest of the book is dedicated to taking us through the race in a detailed fashion and the controversy that followed it, in which Frank and Vlug came under fire for their planning of the event, and for decisions made while the race ws underway and the bad weather was moving in. An inquest followed the accident, and many people weighed in on the tragedy. Leach also gives a stunningly descriptive explanation on hypothermia and it's effects on the body that will have you chilled to the bone, no matter how warm it is when you're reading.
Fatal Tide is available through Amazon.com, and I recommend it to fans of adventure racing and other endurance sports quite highly. I wasn't aware of this accident before I read the book, but it made me stop and think about dangers of the sport and other activities that we take part in. The book is a classic example of excellent journalistic writing, with Leach conducting extensive research and taking a dispassionate approach to his narrative in order to get the story out. His writing is tight and efficient, and conveys the weight of the story very well. He's weaved together a tale that is equal parts adventure, sports, and investigative journalism that will stay with you long after you've read it.

David Leach
Thanks for such a positive review! I'm glad (and relieved!) that you enjoyed Fatal Tide.
I hope the book honours the stories of the many people affected by the Fundy Multisport tragedy, and also adds to the debate about the risks and rewards of outdoor adventure.
If any of your readers are curious, they can check out http://www.fataltide.com for background to the race and especially my research into hypothermia (as a former lifeguard who lives in Canada, I thought I knew everything about cold water: boy, was I wrong!), as well as text and audio excerpts from the book.
Any feedback (good, bad or otherwise) from readers is always appreciated.
It was my pleasure to read and review your book, sorry it took so long to get the review posted however, as things have just been crazy-busy here for the past month.
I throughly enjoyed it, and I think you did the story justice and represented everyone involved in a very fair manner.
A definite read for me. Looks to be something we could all learn more about…
I wonder what else David has written?
Thanks for your interest, DSD! Fatal Tide is my first book, but I'm a long-time magazine writer and former managing editor of explore: Canada's Outdoor Magazine, the north-of-49 version of Outside (in its heyday) or Nat Geo Adventure. Anybody who likes great adventure writing, should check out Way Out There: The Best of explore, which features Canada's top adventure writers. It came out a couple years ago.
Much of my previous writing has been comic accounts of my own misadventures: riding the TransRockies Challenge, competing (badly) in the Canadian Ski Marathon, kayaking in polar bear country, mountain biking in the Andes, or looking for "spirit bears" in coastal B.C. (I can't complain about my assignments!)
But I've also done a fair bit of investigative journalism and serious profiles of Canada's top adventurers, outdoor athletes and explorers — all the people who inspire my own feeble efforts.
You can read samples of my feature writing at http://www.davidleach.ca, including a reprint of my investigation into another tragedy: the kayaking deaths of two experienced adventure racers near Vancouver last Thanksgiving during a training day gone wrong. (I cover it in the book's epilogue but go into greater detail in the magazine story.)
DSD is a fellow Canuck David. You two will get along just fine! 😉


According to recent reports, a copyright body claims MTN owes songwriters just under R1 million in unpaid royalties for music sold by the mobile network.
This comes after songwriters issued the mobile network with a 'take-down' notice to remove music from its stores.
The Composers Authors and Publishers Association (Capasso), a non-profit songwriter and publisher royalty collecting society, says that attempts to collect outstanding royalties from MTN have been met with "constant rate disputes and an unwillingness to enter into licence agreements".
MTN sells music via the likes of its caller tone service 'CallerTunez'. Capasso is accusing MTN of not paying an invoice for 2014 and failing to report its 2015 music usage.
"You can imagine the pressure that we're under as an agency from our members to say look I'm hearing my music everyday – where is my money?" says Capasso CEO Nothando Migogo.
But MTN has responded to Capasso's claims saying the "allegations are devoid of all truth".
"MTN has never disputed any royalty rates with Capasso or any other collecting society. Since 2014, MTN has required all content providers to obtain all necessary licences and engage directly with regulators.
"MTN requested Capasso to submit a revised and correct invoice in respect of invoices payable. To date the revised invoice has not been sent," said Annetts.
Migogo, though, said that Capasso's latest invoice is correct as it is based on usage reports for 2014 and calculated at the same rate at which MTN paid royalties for music usage in 2013.

The Invisalign (invisible braces) system is an FDA approved orthodontic treatment. This unique treatment fixes malocclusion with a series of custom-made aligners.
Invisalign orthodontic aligners are essentially a solution of invisible braces. Using the Carol Stream Invisalign allows you to smile confidently both during and after treatment. With the Invisalign treatment, you will be using a series of clear, removable aligners. This will allow your teeth to gradually move towards the smile you have always wanted. Best of all, almost no one will know you are wearing them unless you tell them!
Invisalign orthodontic aligners are clear, easy, and comfortable to wear. Since the aligners are removable, you can continue to eat your favorite foods. The Invisalign invisible braces need to be worn day and night. The only time these aligners are not worn is when eating, brushing and flossing. It is very important to brush and floss after each meal. This will keep your aligners clean and your teeth healthy.
Properly positioned teeth are easier to brush and floss than teeth that are crowded, crooked, or spaced too far apart. Properly aligned teeth can help gums fit more tightly around them, which may lead to better periodontal health.
With maintenance of good oral hygiene, the chances of having plaque retention, tooth decay, or periodontal disease can be reduced.
Decreased Risk of Abnormal Wear.
Properly aligned teeth can be less stressful to the supporting bone jaw joints. Which can reduce the effects of abnormal force, such as tooth chipping, breaking, or wear.
When you meet with Dr. Brian Evans he will take orthodontic records of your teeth and photo's of your individual profile. This will include a comprehensive exam, panoramic x-ray, and intra-oral photos. He will scan your teeth to make a model of your current conditions. This material will then be forwarded to the Invisalign laboratory. At Invisalign, they will create a computer model of your teeth and treatment. This model will animate how your teeth will move from the current position to the final destination.
Dr. Brian Evans reviews and approves the treatment plan. Carol Stream IL Invisalign produces a series of clear, plastic aligners that correspond to the stages of tooth movement in 3-D. The teeth will shift in small amounts with the design to each set of aligners. You will wear each stage of orthodontic aligners for approximately two weeks before switching to the next set in the series. You will need to visit Dr. Brian Evans every four to six weeks to check your progress and get new orthodontic aligners. Week by week, your teeth will straighten until they reach the final position.
Like traditional braces, the length of orthodontic treatment depends on the complexity of the case. The average treatment time is twelve months.
Typically, an insurance policy that covers traditional orthodontic braces also covers Invisalign invisible braces to the same extent.
Teeth that are not aligned properly in your mouth create what dentists call "malocclusion." Left untreated, malocclusion can lead to periodontal disease and create abnormal amounts of stress on teeth and jaws. In turn, this will lead to premature wear of teeth. Wear can worsen over time and even result in tooth loss.
When teeth are crowded, plaque with harmful bacteria can attach to the tooth surface down to the bottom of the pocket. Plaque can be difficult to remove from crowded areas because it is difficult to keep that area clean. Bacteria can cause gum tissue surrounding the tooth to degrade and in severe cases, bone loss. Severe periodontal infection, if left untreated, may increase the risk for atherosclerosis-induced conditions. Some atherosclerosis-induced conditions include coronary heart disease, stroke, complications of diabetes, adverse pregnancy outcomes, and respiratory diseases.
