The Path Amid the Loblolly Pines: Q&A with Photographer Matthew Genitempo
by Michael Juliani
The cover of "Jasper"
Matthew Genitempo's forthcoming book of photographs, Jasper (96 pages; Twin Palms Publishers; available for pre-orders now), explores a region of the Ozark Mountains in Arkansas where people live apart from the well-established norms of American life. Born and raised in the Houston area, now based in Marfa, Genitempo previously worked mostly in the Southwest; however, Jasper, his first book, represents a journey he made farther east while he was an MFA student at the Hartford Art School.
The black-and-white photographs in this book capture a series of solitary men and the remote homes they've made in a lush and hardbound pocket of the country. The images contain an ambiguity somewhere between loneliness and solitude, documentation and imagination, and in turn reflect the ways in which a book of poetry might weave gestural narratives based in elegy and evocative landscape. Inspired by the life and work of Arkansas poet and land surveyor Frank Stanford, Jasper transcends this reference to show how the past is lost and found—and lost again—in our contemporary moment.
I met Genitempo during a recent trip to Marfa, where we talked in the Lost Horse Saloon, the Hotel Saint George, and out in total darkness at a poet friend's house in the Fort Davis Mountains. This interview was conducted over the phone six months later.
ZYZZYVA: I want to talk about the early days when you started pushing to escape the day-to-day and drove around a lot and took pictures by going places that might be unsafe.
Matthew Genitempo: I want to say that I understood that aspect of picture-making very early on. I remember seeing Stephen Shore's work, William Eggleston's work and Robert Frank's work and a lot of pictures that were made while traveling. Not so much Eggleston, but Shore, Frank, and Robert Adams, too. I think I quickly understood that photography had opened up an unknown world for them, so maybe it could do that for me. I took a couple of photography classes in high school but I didn't really take them seriously. I learned how to use the darkroom and everything, but I was playing in bands and playing sports, so I wasn't very interested in photography at the time. I also wasn't exposed to those artists I mentioned earlier.
Fast forward to college, I was studying graphic design and I took a photography course as an elective, and that's when I was introduced to those artists. Immediately when I discovered that work, I started emulating them. They were my heroes. I started going to the seedier parts of town, downtown and the outskirts of town, bringing my camera along and making pictures. Then I started going to the smaller towns in that part of the state. I started seeing my peers making work where they were actually traveling, so I wanted to do that, too. I went out to west Texas and made pictures out here. It was a pretty natural progression. From there, my first big trip when I was out for more than a weekend came when I was working a graphic design job and I took some time off, and I went out to New Mexico for the week. It felt like I was on another planet. I felt so far away from everything I knew. I didn't grow up traveling in the car too much. We didn't travel very often, and when we did it was to visit my folks' farm, or if we went on a family vacation we normally flew somewhere. So I felt like I missed out on a lot of that growing up. That was the first road experience that I had. The first one that had lived in my imagination.
Z: Where in New Mexico did you go?
MG: I remember heading out and not knowing really where to go, then hearing that Gallup, New Mexico, had a lot of neon signs. That sounded like a good plan because Stephen Shore had this crazy hold on me at the time. I just hauled ass over a day and a half. I think I drove to Amarillo the first day, cut west straight down I-40, all the way to Gallup in one day, and slowly made my way back. Gallup had a lot of neon. It didn't disappoint.
Z: I remember you talking about the point at which you were in grad school and the noted photographer Tod Papageorge came to do reviews. You were saying you had a lot of work from the West that was being reviewed and that it was a catalyst for you, along with stuff in your personal life, that pushed you east to Arkansas.
MG: Hartford is a low-residency program so we end up meeting in places all over the world. For this particular session, my cohort met in Berlin. The school had Tod Papageorge come out. Two or three months before that, I'd gone through a pretty drawn-out and significant break-up. I was still trying to make this Western work while navigating all that. I thought I had a really good grasp on what I was making out West. I printed all these pictures out and prepared what I was going to say when I got to Berlin and re-read Tod Papageorge's Core Curriculum, because it's a really wonderful book and I wanted to prepare myself for this critique. I've looked up to Tod Papageorge for a while. I really respect the guy.
I was the first to go for crit on day one in Berlin and the work was torn apart. It was quickly dismissed and it was really clear I was spinning my wheels out West. I thought I had a really clear idea of what I was making out West, but now that I have some space from the work, I realize that the photos didn't amount to any sort of discovery. After the crit, I was told to take a break from the West, and I did. I was told I needed to stay in Austin and make pictures for two months, which I didn't want to hear at the time. That lasted for about a week after I got back from Berlin. I was trying to make pictures in Austin and I didn't even want to live in Austin at the time, so it was difficult. I decided to go to Bastrop, which is about fifteen to twenty minutes south of Austin. It's a little town that's right next to this pretty special forest called the Lost Pines, which is considered a "pine island."
It takes a very specific type of environment to grow these loblolly pines. There's this archipelago of pine islands that eventually connect to the Piney Woods region of east Texas that spreads into Oklahoma and Arkansas and eventually connects with the Ozarks. The Lost Pines is the farthest west pine island in this archipelago. I was shooting there in this forest, a majority of which had burned down five years prior, so it was kind of this creepy setting and I met some people who were living there. I thought it was interesting that people were actually making a life in this place. I made work there for two months and I brought the pictures back to Hartford and it was really well-received. The critiques were short. They didn't want to mess with what I was doing; they just wanted me to keep making more of it.
I was really restless going to the same forest roughly five or six times a week, so I started going to the other pine islands east of Texas, and finally said fuck it and drove to the Ozarks. I made it all the way there and I spent one week making pictures in the Ozarks. When I brought those pictures back, there was one photograph that I had made that made me feel that I should be there. That was the place.
A photograph from "Jasper"
Z: One might assume that the Ozarks are inhospitable to outsiders who show up taking pictures. Do you go into these trips with a great deal of trepidation or are you just sort of game?
MG: It's not binary like that. I talk about this a lot with other people who work in a similar fashion that I do and there is never one surefire approach. It's odd, when you're traveling out West. It's mostly just the open desert and you can see all your surroundings. You hop a fence, you see or hear a car coming from a mile away. Most of the time nobody gives a damn. Either it's public land or it's ranch land so big the owners would never know you'd stepped foot on their property. I think that I went into the Ozarks with that same approach. I guess that ignorance sort of helped me out in some ways. There were a few instances where I learned shit like that doesn't fly in the Ozarks. It all depends. I just learned to adapt. My camera certainly helped. I shot with a view camera while I was making Jasper. A lot of people stopped me in the Ozarks when I was using it. They thought I was a land surveyor; they thought that I had surveying equipment. So either people left me alone or they asked me what the hell I was doing. It's not immediately identifiable as a camera. If they do identify it as a camera, they ask, "Why the hell are you using this old-timey camera?"
The view camera is bizarre. It definitely lent a hand in opening doors to some of these worlds. Sometimes I would wake up in the morning to start working and it might take three or four hours before I make a picture, then somebody curious about the camera would inquire about what I was doing and I would end up with them the rest of the day, making pictures in their home.
Z: When I was in Marfa, you told me a story about a coyote carcass—and much more. Would you mind re-telling that story?
MG: I don't think I've told that story since you were here. I don't tell it to too many people.
2016 was a comically bad year. We had the terrible election. The break-up that I had started in 2015 ultimately ended in 2016. The whole trying-to-completely-redefine-my-voice-as-photographer thing happened. 2016 was a pretty awful year for me. I had stayed in a motel the night before New Year's Eve. I woke up that morning, thinking it's the very last day of this year, it's been a terrible year, let's just get out there and do your best, make some pictures.
It was really, really fucking cold that morning. I got dressed. I'm a creature of habit whenever I'm at home. I try to at least adapt, whenever I'm on the road, and have some sort of ritual. It's little things like that that can keep you sane on the road. If I'm sleeping in the car or in a motel or camping somewhere, I always try to get a cup of coffee and a little bit of food at a gas station first thing in the morning.
I had made a habit of going to this gas station called Casey's outside of Jasper in a town called Harrison. To give you an idea about Casey's, one time a woman was buying pizza at 6 a.m. and I said to the cashier, "Damn, the pizza must be pretty good if folks are buying it this early." He said, "She bought the breakfast pizza." I asked what makes it a breakfast pizza, and he goes, "Sausage." They had four different types of coffee and I'm thinking what kind I want to get today. I got a cup of coffee and a thing of almonds, and I got back in my car. I was trying to figure out what I should make a picture of that morning. It was still dark out. It was probably thirty minutes before sunrise. I remembered that in this town called Green Forest, kind of by Harrison, there was a dead coyote that was strung up onto some barbed wire. I had made a photograph of it before. He was pretty fresh when I first came across him, and it had been about a month, and I thought that if that coyote was still there he's probably decayed a little, and that could be interesting.
I drove over and I parked my car and he was still there. I remember him being still pretty well-preserved, I'm guessing, because of the cold. Most of it was still strung up. This coyote was hanging near a road about four or five miles off the highway, just a little two-lane road. He was on the fence. He was up higher, then there was a ditch, then the road. But it was a really narrow shoulder. This wasn't a very busy road—just some county road. My car is parked halfway in the ditch and halfway onto the shoulder, which is typical. I got out of my car, set up my view camera. I had made this photograph before. I knew exactly where I needed to stand. The sun was coming up. I don't remember if my head was under the dark cloth or if I was fiddling with my camera, but I do remember hearing the gunshot.
I grew up hunting. I've been around guns, heard a million guns fire before. This one felt different because not only was it close, it sounded and felt how bullets sound in movies when they whiz by you. I immediately knew it was directed at me. I remember my instincts kicked in. I hugged onto my camera and went into that ditch. Two shots were fired again with the same whizzing effect. I felt like it was right over me. I remember yelling something to the tune of "I'm taking a fucking picture!" I remember crawling. I had my camera up against me and the legs of the tripod were dragging against me. I crawled around to the driver's side of my car and pushed the camera in, then I got in the car really low and started the ignition and drove five or ten feet with my head ducked down. I drove a couple miles, pulled off the side of the road. I know I was in shock, because I can't even remember if I sat in my truck for five minutes or an hour. I snapped out of it and just thought, "I have to make work. I have to make pictures."
I drove into that town, Green Forest. I remember seeing this man walking into a house on the outskirts of Green Forest. Green Forest wasn't really a big town. Usually if I see a stranger who I think would make a good picture, it takes me a little while to go ask them, to build up the courage. But it was so quick—He would make a good picture—then I found myself on the front porch knocking on the door. His name was Clay. Clay opens the front door. I introduced myself, told him what I was doing, and a woman walked up afterward. I could tell that Clay was not all there. Clay was an enormous Elvis fan. He had slicked hair, big mutton chops. He also had on an Elvis-type shirt, a pretty gross shirt. He told me his name was Clay. The woman who walked up, I told her what I was doing and she said, "Clay would love to have his picture taken, but everyone around here calls him Elvis."
I remember going back to the car and getting my camera, coming back into the house, and the house was completely disgusting. There was old food, beer cans, and clothes laying everywhere. I remember Clay was telling me all about his life, and the woman went in the back. At some point before I had made a photograph, Clay was like, "We should watch 3000 Miles to Graceland," which is not even a movie that has Elvis in it. It has Christian Slater and Kevin Costner. I said, "Yeah, let's watch it." We were watching it and someone came into the house, didn't knock, didn't introduce themselves, just walked straight through the living room where we were into the back, and after ten or fifteen minutes just left. Two or three people came in and did that exact same thing. At some point in there I made a picture, because there's the picture in Jasper of the TV with the road on it—it's from the movie we were watching.
Through all that, I realized that although I've never been around meth before, I had been told that meth smells like cat piss, and I realized, "Fuck, these people coming in here are buying meth. I'm in a meth house right now." But for whatever reason, the radar didn't go off that I should get out of there. We just kept watching the movie. Then I remember asking Clay about this picture on the wall of his brother. He started telling me about his brother, who had recently died, I believe, of a drug overdose, and Clay started crying when he was telling me about it. I asked him if he would mind if I made a portrait of him. He didn't mind, but he also wasn't all there. I don't know if he was on meth or what his deal was. He was crying and I remember getting under the dark cloth. I remember it so vividly—this was the only clear part of that day—I remember being under the dark cloth and him looking at me through the lens of my camera and me looking through him and I remember thinking, "You're a terrible human if you take this picture." I got out from under the dark cloth, put the film holder in, took out the dark slide and clicked the shutter. And felt terrible about it. I never used the picture for anything.
Eventually I made my way out of there and the woman that was there followed me out to the car. I had twenty or thirty bucks on me and I gave it to her and wished her a Happy New Year. I took off and the day just seemed to have gone by. I remember thinking that for some reason I just needed to get a can of black-eyed peas on New Year's Eve. For good luck, I guess. I went to this small grocery store and got one. I keep a can opener in my glove box. I was sitting in my car, watching the last sun of the year go down, and I opened the can and spilled the black-eyed peas all over myself. I didn't even clean them up, I just drove back to the motel where I was staying, had a beer or two and called it a night. I was asleep by nine o'clock and slept into 2017.

The Sweet Smell Of Money, Sans The Sea
By Renuka Methil
It is perfectly possible to be in Mauritius and not see a spot of sea.
As a business traveler, if you are staying in any one of the upscale business hotels in the central business district of Ebene, where most men in sharp suits ponder the fate of the island as a gateway to Africa, the white sandy beaches and rhythmic Sega dances in the charming fishing villages are but a distant laidback dream.
This is an economy working overtime, with a new ambitious government and a population weaning off idyllic vistas of just the surf, sand and sea, and wanting much, much more – quicker.
"This country got rich too soon," says Sattar Hajee Abdoula, CEO and Head of Taxation and Advisory Services at Grant Thornton in Mauritius. "So everyone is aspiring to be rich."
We are driving back in Abdoula's white Mercedes convertible after a sumptuous three-course dinner in the plush, green, valley-facing home of one of Mauritius' most-successful senior bankers.
"The mind-set has totally changed in the country," says Abdoula matter-of-factly, pulling into the driveway of the classy Hennessy Park Hotel in Ebene Cybercity where a room can cost up to $220 a night.
It's Friday night, and the hotel's parking lot is packed to the rafters. The swanky customers and swarthy bouncers are all headed to the swish Backstage Lounge Bar in the hotel's ground floor that has at its entrance an arty installation of a collage of inverted guitars, and once you walk in, meandering hallways that lead to live music and the bar, where hordes of young men in leather jackets and women in lacy tank tops writhe in unison on the dance floor.
Somewhere in the distance, away from the island's commercial heart, the high tide and the moon, resembling a nail in the sky, succumb to nature's chorus, as the fierce waves lash on to the shores of this green island in the Indian Ocean.
The land once home to the dodo is a biodiversity hotspot. You hear inspiring stories of people moving to organic farming and the growing prevalence of permaculture; even tales of the pink pigeon that has been heroically saved from extinction. Everywhere you look, swaying sugarcane plantations, and the sweet smell of money.
There is a profusion of green on land and blue in the ocean: and both economies are being revamped by the country's scientist-president, Ameenah Gurib-Fakim.
The natural resources of Mauritius were a big draw card for CIDP, which runs a sophisticated facility here for high-performance research and clinical trials, sourcing active ingredients for pharmaceutical and cosmetic companies around the world.
"Mauritius is the hotspot for diversity, with a multi-ethnic population we can access for trials," says Claire Blazy-Jauzac, Group Managing Director of CIDP.
The island is a rich repository of fauna and flora known for several indigenous species – and not just the extinct dodo. Its farming practises are rated among the best in Africa.
"Africa is lanes and streets and cities behind Mauritius when it comes to agricultural practices," says MD Ramesh, President and Regional Head South and East Africa for Olam, Africa's leading agri-business.
"Mauritius has a great talent for agriculture and is far better than most of Africa."
Durban-based Ramesh says he is seriously considering moving to Mauritius when he retires and is actively seeking a Mauritius passport.
Visitors to Mauritius' gleaming new airport terminals will see the first signs of a country prospering from tourism dollars. For those seeking retirement, the climate – both political and weather – is conducive, says Ramesh.
To most, the tax haven is a haven for more reasons than one, including the comfortable lifestyle it offers, access to amenities and most importantly, the fresh seafood. The juicy prawn curry and rice in any of the eateries in the village of Moka, called the heart of the island, is worth arriving in the country for.
You also can't miss the bounties of the land. Robert Gordon-Gentil converted a sugarcane field into a thriving restaurant business 15 years ago. Chez Tante Athalie at Pamplemousses in Grand Baie serves authentic Creole cuisine on weekdays for lunch. In its front yard are hulking trees Gordon-Gentil planted with his own hands when they first started; he sources all his ingredients for the restaurant from this garden. Here, he also displays his collection of vintage cars. The foreigners and diners love the assortment of cars and cuisine. Occasionally, Gordon-Gentil also drives his old cars to town, making sure they don't stutter to a stop on the way.
Surprisingly for a small island-nation of 1.3 million people, peak-time traffic on the arterial roads, especially in Port Louis, is a nightmare. It's best to set aside enough time to traverse between different parts of the island that the locals categorize simply as East, West, South and North. Also watch out for stray dogs that are rampant and a serious problem in Mauritius.
Getting around is expensive.
"Mauritius presents a real business case for Uber," says 26-year-old freelance photographer Keshawve Jeewon, who runs his company GrandMoments, offering photography and videography services by the picturesque mountains of Flacq district.
He drives his dad's old Ford pick-up truck when scouring the island for work, but owns an Audi A4 sedan for his social sojourns.
"An Uber-like service should be started as soon as possible. Someone will get rich very soon," says Jeewon, almost as if he had been toying with the idea himself.
In the distance, as we drive past verdant Verdun, he symbolically points to Mauritius' second-highest mountain named Pieter Both, characterized by a rocky formation at the top resembling a human head, in thought.
It's in contemplative mode looking for new horizons of opportunity, like young Jeewon, and the country itself.

How about touring on a more local level? An artist needn't go all-out with touring expenses, trotting all over the country.
I have a point of contention with that study because it's misleading. For one thing, it measures touring expenses against touring income but fails to take into account how much merch and albums are sold as a direct result, i.e. purchased at live venues. I'm betting a healthy portion. The study is somewhat misleading in its presentation.


SEATTLE — The NFL Players Association on Friday named Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson as its Week 9 Community MVP.
Carson helped generated more than $180,000 for homeless youth in Seattle at a recent ROOTS (Rising Out of the Shadows) fundraiser.
Carson is also passionate about supporting the military and has teamed up with USAA for its Salute to Service Campaign as a way to honor service members and veterans like his dad, stepdad and grandfather.
The NFLPA will make a $10,000 contribution to the foundation or charity of his choice.
👏👏👏 to our Week 9 #CommunityMVP @ccarson_32 of the @Seahawks after he helped raise more than $180K for homeless youth in Seattle. Carson's passion stems from a promise made to his mom after he was homeless as a teenager.

On the use of vertically averaged models to simulate CO2 migration in a layered saline aquifer
El-Faour, Basil Fayez
Department of Mathematics [731]
Geologic and flow characteristics such as permeability and porosity, capillary pressure, geologic structure, and thickness all influence and affect CO2 plume distribution to varying degrees. These parameters do not necessarily act independently. Depending on the variations in these parameters one may dominate the shape and size of the plume. In this master thesis, we consider the long-term fate and migration of a large CO2 plume that takes place in a heterogeneous (two-layer) sloping saline aquifer. We consider a vertical equilibrium (VE) mathematical model to study the effect of two different permeability layers on the shape, speed and migrated distance of the CO2 plume. The layer-permeability-ratio is k2/k1, where k2 and k1 are the permeabilities in the upper and lower layer of the aquifer, respectively. We also study the effect the thickness ratio of the lower permeability(h=H/2, h=H/4, h=H/8), where H is the thickness of the aquifer. We attain these goals by comparing the simulation results of Eclipse and VE simulators, where both simulate the movement of CO2 plume in homogeneous and layered aquifers. A VE model has been built considering one-dimensional flow in the x-direction, due to the big difference in scale length between vertical and horizontal directions. We model a 2D vertical section in Eclipse simulator, taking the vertically averaged of this section ends up with a 1D results that can compared with the VE solution. Our results shows that the variations in the vertical permeability layers may have a dramatic effects on the CO2 plume shape. Relatively lower permeability layer reduces the velocity of CO2 through it, and an increase of CO2 saturation occurs below this layer. At early time, the build up in saturation increases, and the lateral growth of the CO2 immediately below this layer increases. At later time, the saturation decreases and the vertical flow of the CO2 in this layer increases. The k2/k1 ratio and thickness of the lower permeability layer determines the plume shape and distance migrated. In some of our simulations, the results show two connected/disconnected plumes.

SixDegrees.com is a social network service website that initially lasted from 1997 to 2000 and was based on the Web of Contacts model of social networking. It was named after the six degrees of separation concept and allowed users to list friends, family members and acquaintances both on the site and externally; external contacts were invited to join the site. People who confirmed a relationship with an existing user but did not go on to register with the site continued to receive occasional email updates and solicitations. Users could send messages and post bulletin board items to people in their first, second, and third degrees, and see their connection to any other user on the site.

SixDegrees was one of the first social networking sites of the general form that is in widespread use today. It was followed by more successful social networking sites based on the "social-circles network model" such as Friendster, MySpace, LinkedIn, XING, and Facebook.

MacroView (later renamed to SixDegrees Inc.), the company that developed the site, was founded by CEO Andrew Weinreich in May 1996 and was based in New York City. At its height, SixDegrees had around 100 employees, and the site had around 3,500,000 fully registered members. The site was bought by YouthStream Media Networks in December 1999 for $125 million. SixDegrees shut down one year later on December 30, 2000, then brought back up a few years later.

'Jurassic World' rules North America on $106.6m
By Jeremy Kay2015-06-21T19:51:00+01:00
JUNE 22 UPDATE: A monster North American session saw Universal-Legendary's smash produce the second biggest second weekend ever to reach $402.8m, while Inside Out scored the biggest opening for an original property on $90.4m.
Jurassic World added $106.6m to cross $400m on its 10th day and set a new speed record in the process. The weekend haul beat the previous best second weekend of $103.1m set by The Avengers in 2012.
The action smash also bears the distinction of being the fastest North American release to cross $100m and every $50m staging post thereafter all the way up to $400m.
Meanwhile Disney-Pixar's Inside Out scored a record debut for a film based on an original property as it overtook Avatar's six-year $77m record. It ranks second in the Pixar opening weekend pantheon behind Toy Story 3's $110.3m from 2010.
Overall this was a powerful session as $242.4m from the top 12 fell 8.9% against last weekend and gained 43% on the comparable weekend in 2014 when the top 12 films generated $138.8m and Think Like A Man Too ruled the roost.
San Andreas in fourth place has reached $132.7m via Warner Bros and crossed $400m worldwide this weekend to stand at $415.5m.
Sundance hit Dope opened at number five on $6.1m via Open Road Films, while Love & Mercy dropped two places to number 12 in its third session and added $1.7m from 791 for $7.2m through Roadside Attractions.
ABCD (Any Body Can Dance) debuted via UTV on $444,195 from 146 sites. Eden launched via Broad Green Pictures in three venues in New York and Los Angeles, earning $20,213.
Universal's powerhouse run looks likely to continue this week when the studio unleashes its Seth MacFarlane comedy Ted 2 that also stars Mark Wahlberg. Warner Bros releases the family title Max with Lauren Graham, Thomas Haden Church and Jay Hernandez.

An update on the managerial appointment from the Chairman
"This is an update on the managerial appointment.
Firstly, we all recognise that this is an important appointment but then again every time the club changes manager it's an important decision. Keeping stability in the club whilst we make that transition is also crucial.
I said when Kevin Bond departed that there would be no 'knee jerk' reactions and his replacement wouldn't be instantaneous. We know the qualities within the manager that we are looking for but the combination of those characteristics or persons are not always available and its right we carry out, as we are, proper due diligence in arriving at the right choice.
Henrik Larsson is obviously one of the individuals that we have been interviewing but he is not the only candidate and no decision has been made as I write this statement. I am going to Stockholm in the morning, back in the afternoon, to meet potential 'back room staff'… but that's it, gathering information.
There are five shortlisted candidates and Gary Waddock is certainly included. It's sometimes difficult for the assistant to step into the shoes of the manager but in this instance Gary has had very considerable experience (a great deal more than Kevin Bond in management) and he is well-placed to stamp his authority. I maintain we have a good squad of very capable players but they need direction and certainty too.
It's my wish to get through this process this week but I have to be clear that in making that decision I have more than one eye on the future in my aspirations for our club. This has been a factor as to why I have looked further afield than some of the merry-go-round of English managers.
In writing this short note I just want to assure supporters of the club that we are absolutely 'on it' and recognise the sooner we can galvanise the players, through stability, then the better off we will be and I am confident that results will improve. I hear you say that's not difficult because we have been losing so many matches… I agree and I am as miserable about that as you are.
However, whatever decision we make will not please everybody for I thought that Chris Powell's appointment was a good step but a manager's head is always likely to roll if we keep losing. As I have said previously, it is not the Southend way to immediately react and sack a manager, we are better than that, but ultimately winning is what it's all about.
Hopefully, this side of the weekend I will be able to update you again and maybe confirm an appointment also.
In closing, please bear with me, no one is delaying for any reason and we all want a settled club.
Up the Blues."

Before you make any decisions, talk to a housing advice worker to see what your options are.
Depending on the length of your sentence and the type of housing that you have, you may want to try holding onto your home. There is a limit to the amount of time that you'll get benefits to help pay your rent or mortgage interest.
In certain circumstances, keeping your home may not be the best option for you. If you're serving a long sentence, you can't afford to keep paying your housing costs or you're unable to return home because of a conflict, you might have to think about giving up your home.

Couple Blames Cougar for Serious Attack Inflicted by Their Own Pit Bull
"Major Mauling" on Two People
Mill Creek, WA - Occassionally, DogsBite.org compares pit bull attacks to wild animal attacks, such as: alligators, sharks and chimpanzees. We make this comparison for two reasons. The first is the severity of pit bull injury. Pit bulls consistently chew off arms and legs, as do sharks, and rip off mouths and noses as do chimpanzees. The second reason is that most cities consider pit bulls "domesticated pets" and do not regulate them, unlike their wild animal counterparts.
Recently, a story was reported that further emphasizes our point. The owners of a pit bull claimed a cougar attacked them, but in reality, their own pit bull had. Thanks to the work of Bruce Richards, an agent for the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, and his tracking dog Mishka, the truth of this attack was learned. The "wild animal attack" claim works in reverse as well. Back in August, an exotic animal facility in Missouri tried to blame a tiger attack on a pit bull.
"A couple who said they were attacked by a mountain lion, were instead attacked by their own pit bull, said Bruce Richards, an agent for the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. About a month and a half ago, the couple said they were attacked by a mountain lion near a Puyallup home, Richards said. The couple was so badly hurt that they were in the hospital.
When wildlife agent Richards went to visit the couple in the hospital, he said they were "ripped to pieces." He said, "We're talking a major mauling on two people." Richards took a tracking dog, Mishka, to the couple's house in an attempt to locate the mountain lion, but no trace was found. Instead, Mishka led agents back to the couple's house and to the couple's pit bull inside the home. Richards said when he looked in their house he saw a white dog covered in dried blood.
The agents credited their tracking dog, Mishka, with preventing the department from spending hundreds of search hours, thousands of dollars in resources and saving the public a lot of turmoil for a mountain lion that didn't exist. The wildlife agents would not say why the couple said they were attacked by a mountain lion. The Pierce County Sheriff's Office says no charges were filed against the couple. No word has been released on what happened to the dog."
Agent Bruce Richards and Mishka have been nominated for a 2009 Annual DogsBite.org Award.
Victims we have linked to in this blog post have suffered severe injury due to a pit bull's powerful jaws and tenacious manner of attack. These victims include: Annette Williams, Brenda Hill, Justin Kowalczyk and Tony Potter.

Failing to charge these people with a false report is a mistake. We need to hit people with every charge we can make stick when it comes to this issue. I wonder if this couple "raised" this dog "right". After all it only takes TLC to make this dog into a cuddly lap dog.

What else are pit bull owners to do when this happens? I mean, really?
After you post a YouTube video of your sweet little pit playing with your family in the living room, pose your pit with some kids, act like you're God's gift of compassion because you rescued a pit bull, spend half your life banging the drum and chanting the mantra, "blame the deed, not the breed," what are you to do when your pit goes berserk?
Blame it on a mountain lion!
Bwaaaaaaahahahaha! Idiots!

Why is it so many pit bull owners are bizzare, mentally unstable, dangerous people? I am assuming these people lied so that authorities would not confiscate their pit bull. Either these folks have some sort of bizarre fixation/fetish with this breed of dog (it borders on a compulsion, perhaps sexual in nature?)…or this dog had value as a stud/fighting dog and they were unwilling to lose future winnings/stud fees.
At a minimum, these people should be investigated for dog fighting, and the dog should be euthanized.

Good God! They brought the animal home, locked it in the house, then fled to the hospital. They probably left the blood on the dog because they were too afraid to touch the animal. "Hmmm" let's now think up a story about the attack so that we can KEEP our dog and KEEP the "my pit bull will only lick you," and "my pit bull reads Proust" myths intact!
These people should be IN JAIL!
I shudder to think that this dog, who nearly killed two people, is still out there and will kill again.
And what if this animal had attacked and injured or killed an innocent person? Someone's kid or grandmother? What would these same pit bull owners do then? This story shows how EXTREME and "out there" pit bull owners truly are. Additionally, it shows just how damn little they care about anyone but themselves and their dog. Were they going to keep the bloody dog? Perhaps send it off to a no-kill shelter and LIE that the animal was NOT dangerous? You bet they would have.

Pit Bull Owners: Son Dies While Parents Have Pit Bull Treated
The parents of an 8 year old Warren boy who died from Hodgkin's Lymphoma have been indicted on charges they denied him medical treatment. Investigators say that while Willie Robinson was suffering, his parents, who claimed they didn't have much money or medical insurance, paid $87 to have a pit bull treated for fleas.
A Cleveland grand jury on Wednesday indicated William Robinson Sr. and Monica Hussing on charges of involuntary manslaughter, child endangering and felonious assault. The boy collapsed at his Cleveland home last March and was pronounced dead less than an hour later. They had just moved to Cleveland from Warren.

I'm glad no cougars were killed as a result of the stupid lies told by these nutters.


An imposing double fronted two storey over garden level period residence located in this much sought after and popular location only a short walk to Sandycove, the Forty Foot and local shops.
A most convenient family home close to numerous schools both primary and post primary together with local shops, and restaurants in Dun Laoghaire, Dalkey, Sandycove and Glasthule with yacht clubs, tennis clubs and other sporting facilities are within easy reach.
Benefitting from off street car parking to the front, Sandycove & Glasthule Dart Station is closeby together with local bus including the Aircoach to Dublin Airport.
with window to front nad built in cupboard.
To the front there is off street car parking for two or more cars and two medium sized paved patios each side of hall door at garden level. Granite rubble walled rear garden laid out in lawn with mature shrubs, trees, hedging and patio and measures 11m x 12m (36'1" x 39'4").


This product started out at a 3.5 and has gravitated down in the past few months. It does turn your mouth a pretty color, yes, and the color does seem to last pretty long. However, I found this drying, or at least not at all moisturizing. Within ten minutes of application, I feel my lips cracking again. To me, not worth the money.
I love this both for colour and moisture.
My natural skin colour is similar to mashed potato, and I have quite pale lips. I don't wear full makeup every single day, so if I'm going out with just some high-SPF BB on, it's nice to have something to make me look a bit less... dead.
Anyway, because of my pallour and some horrible experiments with those weird green/yellow/purple lippies in the 80s that were supposed to 'adapt' to your natural skin, but inevitably ended up some awful shade of fuchsia, I was a bit wary of trying this. But I decided to give it a go, and I'm glad I did.
I tried the coral colour as well, and weirdly that came out more pink for me. I can use it once and it's ok, but after one top-up it's too bright, so I'm mostly sticking to the pink.
Other 'adaptive' lip colours I've tried have come out ridiculously bright, but not this one; I like it and I've already repurchased when the first one ran out. It's pretty rare I use a lip product until it runs out, so this one must be a keeper!
Edit 1/27/17: I now have these in Pink, Coral, & the über-hard-to-find Lilac. I love these.
Original review: I got this in Pink (001), which I had a hard time deciding between Pink/Lilac/Coral (now I'm afraid i need the other 2 lolz), but this is so gr8! My lips are so moisturized & turned a very discreet pink kind of like what my lips look like in plumping gloss but more pale pink than bloodshot. This is a method not a miracle to shiny luscious pink lips IF ur lips aren't super pigmented & provided that the formula doesn't dry ur lips out which it apparently does to some ppl. Myself I can still feel it on 3 hours later all emollient & lovely. If you are looking for a deeper color Lipstick Queen Frog Prince is cheaper & more vibrant. The packaging is swank! I will def rebuy n I will prob buy a Dior plumping gloss next as well as end up w Coral & Lilac knowing me LOL I love the lip changing/lip plumping glosses I'm on a kick w Soap & Glory, Lipstick Queen, Smashbox O, LA Colors, TF Lip Injection gloss, all kinda gimmicky kinda thing(s) lol love this gloss!!!! It is USD$32 from Sephora.com :-)) I never had anything from Dior except perfume, def a luxury item! Lovely!!!!
The colour is natural and it feels moisturizing at first few swipes. But then it dries down quickly for me. I have dry lips, so I would not re-purchase it.
I recently purchased this after my winter lips looked a bit pruney.. since being a skinflint runs in my blood, I took a gulp when I paid.. lol.
Happy with my purchase though, this balm is great for no lipstick days and keep my lips moist and add a touch of color (lilac)...have also been using this on top of matte lippies which are in the same color family of mauves, pinks, just to give me more moisture.
all in all a great product for me.
am looking for other balms for corals and reds -- I did not like the coral in this line as stated by others, coral gives off a pink cast.
I heard amazing things about this product after a few of my friends were raving about it, have to say it is amazing. Currently it is my go to lip balm and the colours look so natural and lovely, glad that this is a lip balm product so it is moisturising similar to a normal lip balm. I got the colours coral and lilac and both are equally amazing, coral adds a little bit more pink while the lilac has a more natural colour to my lips. I would really recommend this product to anyone who is in a treat yourself kind of mood, it is a bit pricey but definitely won't be disappointed!
This is one of the few lip products I have ever run out of. Today I used up the last bit, and I have to say, I´m going to miss it, and probably repuchase! Different to many of the balms that claim to react with your lips and give you an individual lip color (which more often than not develops into the same old pink on everyone), this really just amps up the natural lip tone with a tiny bit of a pinkish tint, leaving the lips looking juicy, plump and healthy. It has a really beautiful finish, not too glossy, but still detectable. Also, the moisture it gives is longlasting and much more than just a waxy top coat. It really feels replenishing. The packaging is a little bulky, but I feel it´s beautiful - very high class looking, not just like any lipbalm - it looks recognizably Dior-y. One of the best lip products I ever had.
THIS IS THE FIRST LIP ANYTHING I HAVE EVER COMPLETELY USED UP!
My lipstick + lip balm collection is more of a cosmetic graveyard than anything else; stuff I'll use from time to time and, whenever I look at all of the neglected tubes, I know that most of them have been sitting, untouched, for more than just a few years.
I am IN LOVE with this balm (pink version)! It is moisturizing and looks great. I use it constantly, and was amazed when I actually got to the bottom of the tube (that's so not me). Adore it all, minus the price.
Can you say FUSCHIA LIPS?? Feels slippery on lips and as though the moisture wears off quickly - leaving flaky neon lips that enter a room about 10 seconds before I do.And it stains lips, with the stain really grabbing on to dry areas, and the corners of the mouth. The color builds up with reapplication, and will instantly look uneven if you eat or drink, or if you rub your lips together. It was something like 34 bucks and I'd never repurchase - this just doesn't perform in a way I like at all. Packaging? Typical Dior - absolutely beautiful. In no way does that make up for the product itself. To be fair, It may have to do with my own chemistry, as every product I've ever tried that is supposed to "adjust to your lips for natural color" has had a tendency to turn garishly pink on me.

The Futility of Labor Day in the Movement
Dominique Stewart
Although Labor Day originates from the labor movement, its passage did little to help the exploited workers it aimed to honor, even to this day.

The Country's Worker Shortage is Actually a Wage Issue

Amarjeet Singh Dulat served as the head of the Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW), India's spy agency, under Prime Minister A.B. Vajpayee. He later joined Vajpayee's Prime Minister's Office (PMO), where his job was to 'monitor, manage and direct' the government of India's peace initiative in Kashmir. Dulat was born in Sialkot, Punjab, in December 1940. With India's Partition, his father Justice Shamsher Singh Dulat relocated his family to Delhi. After schooling in Delhi, Shimla and Chandigarh, Dulat joined the Indian Police Service (IPS) in 1965, and then the Intelligence Bureau (IB) in 1969, where he served for almost thirty years. At IB he headed the Kashmir Group during the turbulent 1990s till he joined and headed R&AW. Since leaving government in 2004, Dulat has been active on the Track II circuit, and has visited Pakistan. He has co-authored a paper with former Pakistani intelligence chief Lt. Gen. Asad Durrani on the benefits of intelligence cooperation between India and Pakistan. During service, Dulat accumulated a vast reservoir of goodwill with Kashmiris of all shades. As Jane's Intelligence Digest put it in 2001: 'Well known for his social skills, Dulat prefers dialogue to clandestine manoeuvres. He has built up an impressive network of personal contacts in Kashmir including militants.' A decade after retirement, that goodwill remains intact, with Kashmiris dropping in on he and his wife Paran at their Friends Colony house in Delhi, to share gossip, information, and advice. Aditya Sinha has been a journalist since February 1987. He has been Editor-in-Chief of The New Indian Express and of Daily News and Analysis (DNA). His published work includes the biographies Farooq Abdullah: Kashmir's Prodigal Son (1996) and Death of Dreams: A Terrorist's Tale (2000).

Siomón Brecc ("the speckled, spotted, ornamented"), son of Áedan Glas, son of Nuadu Finn Fáil, was, according to medieval Irish legend and historical tradition, a High King of Ireland. He took power after killing the previous incumbent, Sétna Innarraid, ruled for six years, and was killed by Sétna's son Dui Finn. The Lebor Gabála Érenn synchronises his reign with that of Xerxes I of Persia (485–465 BC). The chronology of Geoffrey Keating's Foras Feasa ar Éirinn dates his reign to 685–679 BC, that of the Annals of the Four Masters to 910–904 BC.

Political leanings: Democratic
Spending Target: More than $100 million
The Senate Majority PAC is a super PAC "solely dedicated to building a Democratic majority in the U.S. Senate," its website says.
In the 2016 election cycle, the Senate Majority PAC raised over $92.8 million, the fourth most among super PACs, and the second most among liberal super PACs. The group's largest individual contributors included Democratic mega-donors Fred Eychaner, a retired media executive who gave $12 million, and hedge fund billionaire James Simons, who gave $8 million.
J. B. Poersch, a former Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee director, was named the super PAC's president in early 2017. Its other senior advisers include co-founders Susan McCue and Rebecca Lambe, who were both political aides to former Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid of Nevada.
As a super PAC, the Senate Majority is allowed to raise and spend unlimited amounts provided that all donations and expenditures are reported to the Federal Election Commission. The PAC cannot make contributions to candidates, and instead devotes most of its money to attacking Republican candidates. It reported spending more than $63.5 million in independent expenditures opposing GOP candidates who ran in 2016, and $11.8 million supporting Democrats. (The FEC defines independent expenditures as spending on advertising that expressly advocates for the election or defeat of a federal candidate.)
Senate Majority is affiliated with Majority Forward, a 501(c)(4) organization that does not have to disclose its donors. Majority Forward contributed more than $600,000 to the Senate Majority PAC in 2016 and carried out voter registration efforts to help increase turnout among Democrats.
For the 2018 elections, the Senate Majority PAC will work with Priorities USA, a liberal super PAC, on digital ad campaigns. Priorities USA announced that it plans to spend $50 million on races in Arizona, Florida, Michigan, and Wisconsin. In addition, Guy Cecil, chairman of Priorities USA, told the Washington Post that his PAC would partner with the Senate Majority PAC on digital campaigns in Missouri and North Dakota. Arizona is the only one of those states currently held by a Republican; the rest are held by Democrats.
As of Aug. 30, the Senate Majority PAC had raised about $95.7 million, according to its FEC filings. Eychaner ($6 million) and Simons ($4.8 million) continue to be among the PACs biggest donors, according FEC fundraising data. Other major donors so far include Paloma Partners hedge fund executive S. Donald Sussman, who has given $4.5 million; Henry Laufer, a former chief scientist and vice president of research for Renaissance Technologies, who donated $2 million; and liberal billionaire George Soros, who has given $4.4 million.
It's biggest donor may turn out to be Michael Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York City, who will donate $20 million to the super PAC, the Washington Post reported on Oct. 2.
As of Aug. 30, the super PAC had spent more than $42.5 million on independent expenditures supporting Democrats and opposing Republicans in the 2018 election cycle. Much of that money has been used to aid vulnerable incumbent Senate Democrats in Indiana, Missouri, West Virginia, North Dakota and Montana.
There are 35 Senate seats up for grabs in 2018, including 24 held by Democrats and two independents who caucus with the Democratic party. Democrats need a net gain of two seats in order regain control of the Senate from the Republicans, who currently hold 51 seats.

Anne was a former Case Manager at Circle from 2006-2008. She grew up in New England, but moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma to marry her husband and became a mother to two beautiful children. She worked for an IVF clinic for 6 years doing insurance benefits, IVF financial counseling and egg donor coordination. She then decided to embark on her own journey as a surrogate, and delivered a baby girl for her IP's in the summer of 2015. The experience of being a surrogate led her back to rejoin the Circle team as a Program Coordinator, and she recently started the role of Manager of Medical Billing. She hopes that her broad areas of experience personally and professionally will help guide others on their own journey.
There are so many benefits to surrogacy. My children will grow up knowing that this amazing journey we went through as a family, helped create another family. They were pretty young when she was born so as the years go on I will continue to shape the memories and emotions of this experience for them. My husband was my rock, having his support was something I needed more than anything. But overall, the moment she was born was so powerful. Such a flood of emotions seeing my IPs meet their daughter for the first time. But also seeing the pride that my husband, my doula, and all of the medical staff had at that moment as well. You could tell the energy in the delivery room was that they were witnessing something very special.

We are very well supplied with great houses and their collections, which are open to the public.
Click here to download our guide to Things to Do Around Hambleton Hall.
Some, like Burghley or Belton, are well known, while others like Grimsthorpe or Rockingham, have fewer visitors but can be equally fascinating. In winter, when these houses are closed, day trips to Cambridge, Ely and Lincoln are popular, and there are a great many fine churches within easy distance. Oakham Castle, built around 1180, is open all year and is well worth a visit.
You cannot visit Burghley without experiencing a feeling of awe – for this is the very largest and grandest of houses of the first Elizabethan Age — featuring glorious treasures – paintings, antiques, tapestries, furnishings, wood carvings, porcelain, sculptures and more.
Burghley has been the home of the Cecil family for more than 400 years. The house was built between 1565 and 1587 by William Cecil, Lord High Treasurer to Queen Elizabeth I. The house remains a family home for his descendants and is presently occupied by Orlando and Miranda Rock.
Please Visit the official site http://www.burghley.co.uk/
Normanton Church
The original site of Normanton Church would have placed it below the proposed water line of Rutland Water. St Matthew's church, as it was then known, dated back to 1826 and was of considerable historic value. The Church now stands proudly by the side of Rutland Water and houses a museum with dinosaur fossils, and an Anglo-Saxon skeleton from the reservoir. It also has a fascinating video on the reservoir's construction.
Exton Church
The main points of Exton Church are the remarkable monuments inside including Grinling Gibbon's amazing monument to the Third Viscount Campden. According to Pevsner: "There are few churches in England in which English sculpture from the 16th century to the 18th century can be enjoyed so much."
Grimsthorpe Castle
Grimsthorpe Castle is the grandest stately home in Lincolnshire. It can be found four miles north west of Bourne. Grimsthorpe Castle dates back to the 12th century and in 1516, Henry VIII granted the manor to the 10th Baron Willoughby de Eresby on his marriage to Maria de Salinas, kinswoman and lady-in-waiting to the Queen, Catherine of Aragon. It is still the home of the de Eresby family today.
Please Visit the official site www.grimsthorpe.co.uk
Belvoir Castle
Belvoir (pronounced 'Beaver') is a fantastic site on the edge of a steep escarpment dominating the broad vale to the North. The Manners family was so old, well connected and wealthy even in 1816 when Wyatt built the present castle that one wonders why the design chosen owes so much to swagger and so little to convenience. Belvoir does of course house a wonderful collection and the statue garden is always worth a visit.
Please Visit the official site http://www.belvoircastle.com/
Belton House
Belton is an Anglo-Dutch Restoration house built in the last years of Charles II's reign. The house was designed by the gentleman-architect William Winde and built between 1685 and 1688. It is H-shaped with honey-coloured symmetrical facades crowned by a cupola. A broad flight of steps leads up to a pedimented entrance, which is offset by the steeply pitched roof with domestic dormer windows.

Hello Forumers - I have a 12VDC motor with "built-in" encoder. The motor has a 2 wire connection, and runs both directions fine.
The encoder also has a 2 wire connection, but I have no idea how to wire it. It probably requires some external circuit, but the closest example found uses a 3 wire connection to the encoder. I have even tried using the case as ground to make a "3rd" connection. The motor didn't come with any schematics or specifications. Searches have drawn a blank - so maybe someone here can help.
The motor and encoder are to be operated by an Arduino.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Receives Mature Rating by ESRB
Mostafa Hossam / Updates / From Software, PS4, Sekiro Shadows Die Twice, Sony /
FromSoftware's titles aren't exactly known for its family-friendly or quirky content, and Sekiro Shadows Die Twice doesn't break the studio's norm.
The title is a little over two months away, and was finally submitted for rating to the ESRB. The ESRB gave it a "Mature" rating, which is the result of existing blood and gore in several points of the game. The board's rating description mentions moments of blood splatter when you kill an enemy, decapitation, dismemberment, and even "a child stabbed with a sword off screen."
This is an action-adventure game in which players assume the role of a disgraced shinobi on a quest to rescue his kidnapped lord in ancient Japan. Players use swords and a prosthetic arm to battle members of an enemy clan and supernatural demons in frenetic combat. Large blood-splatter effects occur as enemies are killed; some attacks result in decapitation and/or dismemberment. Cutscenes depict additional acts of violence: a man impaled through the chest with a sword; a child stabbed with a sword off screen.
Sekiro Shadows Die Twice releases on March 22, 2019 for PS4, Xbox One and PC. For now, you can enjoy the gameplay walkthrough showcasing various aspects of the game, or you can download a sick wallpaper for your PC to keep yourself hyped everytime you turn it on.
