New DG Post: Doors Unknocked
by Endri | Sep 6, 2017 | Offsite | 30 comments
Spell sickness, providence, and how this all started. I'm stunned.
Doors Unknocked
Augustus_Octavian says:
This is an incredible revelation - I can't imagine what Sullivan went through hiding in the Palace of Doors for weeks.
OracleSage says:
When I started reading this letter I thought for a moment; "Aw, this will be the sad but light hearted story of Sullivan finding the Ebenguard guild hall"
Evidently, I was way off base.
This settles it for me, if I had any doubts they are gone. The Silver cannot be allowed to continue, their path ends here.
Deyavi says:
Sullivan… made mistakes. The way any human would, but especially one who feels a call burning in their heart. But he also sacrificed, more than any average man would, to make all of this possible.
Deirdre will probably need time to process this. This goes beyond any of the other revelations he's shown her thus far, I think. There's so much we didn't know. So many questions still.
You're either much more or much less cynical than I am. Sullivan had a truly extraordinary life, though, and I cannot imagine how he endured it all to bring us to this point.
Imagine such a fortress, and all the magiq inside it. Although I confess I have the feeling that what Sullivan did to get out of there… meant significantly less magiq is inside it now.
It makes me burn for adventures and, at the same time, shake in my boots a little at the scale of the universe, compared to our understanding of it.
So since we haven't mentioned our resident dream boats in a while. Does anyone else think the Silver was the shadowy organization pulling the Cagliostros strings through the years?
I wonder why though a group seemingly dedicated to hoarding magiq put up with someone visibly spreading news of it with his shows? Maybe they tried to keep it all in one person to use when they needed it?
Endri says:
That's a great point @Robert. I just pulled up my notes about The Cagliostro because I remember him mentioning the (disgusting and terrifying) ritual and "device" that passed on whatever was in him, as if it were a specific power or entity.
Could they have had some plan for him that was more public or front-facing? Or perhaps could only partially contain/control what was in him? Or, and this seems out of the ordinary for The Silver, but Cags was a cash cow, could his performances have been funding something? Them? Martin mentioned him pulling in millions of dollars in a night's performance.
Sorry, this is what happens when I go into research-mode. Wild speculation and endless arbitrary facts make Endri a happy Captain.
Revenir says:
Actually now that I think about it… Cags's server was hosted by Kemetic Solutions, so we know there's that connection. And we know that the Silver were using KS to learn how to close doors. If I recall correctly, Teddy even called KS's building the palace made of doors in the last livestream. But that begs the question…how'd KS get the cash to run that huge research facility, pay (maybe?) its employees, and fund all the tests and such. That's a lot of money, but it seems like they weren't doing anything commercial, so maybe those million dollar tickets were going back into the door-closing research?
At one point Cags said, "Funny, to posses all of this power yet still be at the whim of those who posses nothing more than flakes of paper and broken toys." KS had that magiqal journal and "broken" adepts like Watcher and Port (or they thought she was broken, at any rate). I'm also quite curious who his successor was supposed to be. I don't think it was Teddy. Cags mentioned it was a man not magiqally inclined, but who had wealth and influence and was groomed to be his successor from childhood. With Lauren MIA, guess we're unlikely to ever find out though.
I thought Teddy and KS were trying to reach the Palace of Doors through their adept-powered gate - that's why the Storm wiped them out, they got too close. That was my understanding of it, anyway.
This is a transcription from the livestream. It's from a biased source (Teddy), so take it with a grain of salt (7:16):
"It does. It's why we've done all of this the past few months. Threatening Aether, putting the life of a young man at risk, like Brandon like your son. It's catnip for you. Why do you think we've had that girl in the chair over and over and over when I've had the last fragment of her mind in my head for months? To bring you here, because with you, here, we'll be able to bring all manner of power to our side. To the palace made of doors."
Looking back on it, it's not clear if Teddy sees Kemetic Solutions as the palace made of doors. But at the very least, Teddy is claiming to be able to at least bring things to the palace made of doors. My understanding of his statement was that he was going to use Marty as a magiqal "magnet" of sorts to attract magiqal people/artifacts, and then store them in the palace of doors. That makes the palace seem less like a goal, and more like a place they already had access to.
My theory is that the Silver were using KS to further their goals, but destroyed them when they got inconvenient. Probably the Silver has had many pawns throughout the years and KS was just the modern one. Like Endri mentioned, we never knew who Teddy was communicating with in the notebook, but the Silver seem like a reasonable guess.
I can't say if it's right or not, but I do have tin foil in spades.
It does make sense, though, doesn't it? While the Silver is very, very protective of who can access magiq, they do let some people in, when it serves their purpose. They do the same thing with The Low - it's filtered access, so the lowest tiers know very little and have to work their way up, with those who don't prove their worth (or who can't be trusted) being memory wiped. But I suspect they always have a stable of magiqally knowledgeable folks to use as pawns. That's how they're able to track down all these small pockets of magiq so efficiently.

Dianne Bos has recently been collected by the National Gallery of Canada! Bos has exhibited internationally in numerous group and solo exhibitions since 1981 and her pinhole photographs have been included in important international exhibitions in Italy, Spain, France, Syria and Japan as well as solo exhibitions across Canada. These include 'Light Echo', an innovative installation at the McMaster Museum of Art linking celestial and earthly history in collaboration with astronomer Doug Welch; It's You!: Unexpected Photographs from Papua New Guinea, at the Confederation Centre of the Arts, Art Gallery, PEI.; and Reading Room at the Cambridge Galleries, which explored the book as a camera. In 2011, Bos was also awarded the public art design commission by the City of Calgary for its lamp-post banners.
In her the series, "The Sleeping Green", Bos examines the historic battlegrounds of World War I. The pinhole photography techniques she uses produce still images of a passage of time. She explores how time has changed the landscape of these historic battlegrounds 100 years later. In ways other than the presence of memorials, does a memory of that past persist at these sites? Tens of thousands of people who were killed in that war are part of the landscape. Is there a memory in the soil, water, plants, and trees of their presence? Does an echo of war still resonate in the sky above?
In her panoramic series, she takes photographs with a 1926 Banquet Panoramic Camera which produces a 7" x 17″ negative. This type of camera was often used in the past to take large group shots such as company photos or school groups. After the photograph is made, the large paper negatives are scanned. From there, Bos paints them digitally with fields of colour to create new Alberta landscapes that blend old views of the west with a contemporary medium.
Bos received her B.F.A. from Mount Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick and currently divides her time between the foothills of the Rockies and the Pyrenees, France.


Kaaren kicked off her weightloss journey with one simple mission: to look good and feel good at her twin daughters' 21st birthday party.
You know how it is – friends and family (and ex-husbands!) you haven't seen for years all in the one place – you want to wipe the floor!
Kaaren admits that her own wellness has taken a back seat in recent years while she cared for a close friend with cancer.
Unfortunately, Kaaren's friend is no longer with us.
When her friend passed away, Kaaren's emotional eating didn't stop there.
Fast forward to now and Kaaren is a new woman with a fresh attitude towards her own health and wellbeing.
Kaaren has completed her Hypoxi trial and she is absolutely glowing!
So, how did her daughters 21st birthday party go? Well, Kaaren was definitely turning heads!
Looking back, Kaaren is super pleased with her Hypoxi journey.
Kaaren's Hypoxi journey wasn't the only one we kept up with!

'National Roadway Safety Award' Winners Announced: FHWA, Roadway Safety Foundation officials name nation's top nine road safety projects
FHWA XX-17
WASHINGTON – The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Roadway Safety Foundation today announced the year's nine National Roadway Safety Award winners, which represent the nation's best examples of innovation in highway safety. The biennial competition, which began in 1999, is an acknowledgement of successful approaches to improving roadway safety at the state and local level, officials said.
"These awards recognize real and innovative solutions to some of the nation's biggest safety challenges," said Acting Federal Highway Administrator Brandye L. Hendrickson. "We commend this year's winners for their efforts in saving lives on our nation's roads, and invite others across the country to put these life-saving solutions to work."
Applicants are encouraged to nominate projects or programs that exemplify innovative and effective safety activities and maximize the cost effectiveness of federal, state, local, and/or private sector funds.
"The National Roadway Safety Awards are an opportunity to recognize the unsung heroes who plan, engineer and implement creative measures to help save lives on a daily basis and rarely receive credit for doing so," said RSF Executive Director Gregory Cohen.
Of the 32 applications this year, nine winners were selected:
Alaska – for its efforts to blend engineering, enforcement, education and emergency response in "Safety Zones" which led to a 45 percent reduction in fatal and serious injury crashes on high-speed two-lane roads over the last decade.
Delaware – for using cutting-edge "high-friction surface treatment" to improve traction at key spots, Delaware transportation officials reduced roadway departure crashes by 56 percent.
Florida – for using a variety of state-of-the-art engineering countermeasures, public education and law enforcement efforts, to address a recent surge in wrong-way driving incidents.
Michigan – for its new multi-agency Traffic Incident Management partnership to improve safety for first responders and tow truck operators, which led to a 31 percent reduction in tow truck response time and a 45 percent reduction in secondary crashes.
Minnesota – for developing County Road Safety Plans for all 87 counties statewide which used low-cost solutions to address problems on county roads, which account for half of all roadway fatalities, over a four-year period.
Missouri – for committing itself to achieving zero roadway fatalities with a decade-long series of road improvements at 31 high-crash locations statewide.
New Jersey – for installing a roundabout at a high-crash intersection in Chesterfield Township, eliminating all right-angle and left-turn crashes over the last three years, and planning others statewide.
Virginia – for addressing an increase in crashes at a two-way intersection in Loudoun County with an "instant roundabout" system, which cost 95 percent less than a traditional roundabout and reduced crashes by 89 percent over a three-year period.
Tennessee – for using greater data analysis of 261 crash locations statewide to maximize safety investments, which led to a 60 percent reduction in crash frequency over three years.
Winners were selected by an expert panel of judges from a variety of disciplines. This year's judges included:
King W. Gee, director of engineering and technical services, American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials
Mike Griffith, director, FHWA's Office of Safety Technologies
Bruce Hamilton, director of safety and research programs, Roadway Safety Foundation
Bernardo Kleiner, senior program officer/transportation safety specialist, Transportation Research Board
Jennifer Smith, director, Image and Brands, Michelin
Dr. Marie B. Walsh, director, Louisiana Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP)
Terecia Wilson, senior fellow, Clemson University Institute for Global Road Safety and Security.

Yamaha XS400 – Real Moto Co.
If you're putting together a basic rock band it's not too hard to work out the pieces to the puzzle; at a minimum you need a singer with a sick set of pipes, an axe man to rock out and someone to swing the sticks on the skins. So if you're following the same minimalist formula what do you need to form a small custom workshop to create brilliant builds and still have the talent on deck to make some incredible merchandise and branding to get the company exposure? From the USA's east coast, Real Moto Co. have found the perfect formula in two guys who can spin the spanners and bring very specifics skills to the floor. Dan Stabbings is the metal man and his partner in crime Jacob Speis a brilliant graphic designer, together they've produced the companies debut build – a stunning 1981 Yamaha XS400 that is the perfect opening track.
"We've been friends for many years, but a few garage beers while welding up a tail hoop for Jacob's personal project got us talking about how inspired we both had become by the recent wave of motorcycle customs and wondering how we could get more involved in a way that made the best of both of our skill sets." Dan is fabricator with more than a decades experience with structural steel work, while Jacob is a lead graphic designer from Relapse Records in Philadelphia and together they share a love for VW's that has influenced their automotive and mechanical backgrounds. But for their first build they needed to find a bike to play with and it came in the "form of an '81 XS400. It was pretty clapped out and probably lived a rough life, but it had potential." Originally the plan was to do a basic fix up, add some bolt on mods and flip it for a profit and then look to start again. But as they always do when you start modifying a motorcycle, things got out of hand quickly and resulted in a full on rebuild.
With the engine out and the bike back to the bare frame Dan was able to put his metal work skills straight to work and began cleaning up the 35 year old steel. He removed the most rearward section of the factory subframe and then formed his own rear tail hoop to be welded in. But he also went the extra mile, which is seen throughout the build, by fabricating a pair of slugs that add both strength and rigidity to the new tail for a quality finish. Covering the new tail is a cowl that was hammered and hand rolled by Dan in a design of his own choice and the quality is there for all to see. A spur of the moment decision to blend the new cowl with the frame works a treat, the finished piece merges perfectly with the chassis for an ultra-clean line and gapless appearance that once you notice you start to realise it's how they all should be done.
With a fresh engine and beautiful bodywork attention could be turned to do a lot of the little things that help set a bike apart and make it better to ride. Knowing they'd be running clip-on bars it made perfect sense to get the rider more tucked in with a re-positioning of the footpegs. Dan fabricated all new linkages for the shifter and rear brake and then relocated the footpegs to the passenger position by welding on adaptor plates and smoothly blending them into the frame. The end result is excellent but it posed a bit of an issue. "I realised the kick starter now collided with the rear brake control, so I sectioned out about 3 inches for clearance. Thankfully, the bike still starts on the first kick every time." With that taken care of Jacob's design called for keeping the front end clean and classic and they've more than pulled it off with the new clip-ons wearing a tasty set of brown grips and classic hand controls.
The drum brake front end does more to capture the classic appeal of the era on a bike that has simply never looked so good and a sensible tire choice makes for the best of both on road performance and vintage styling. It might be their first build as Real Moto Co. but the quality of workmanship and attention to detail have shown Dan and Jacob are here to stay and if they can make an '80s XS400 look this good, just imagine what's to come.

Home/New Posts/News/"Sheikh Qassim" is redline whose violation will set fire to Bahrain & region / No choice but armed resistance – Gen. Soleimani
"Sheikh Qassim" is redline whose violation will set fire to Bahrain & region / No choice but armed resistance – Gen. Soleimani
Major General Qasem Soleimani, commander of IRGC's Quds Force, said on Monday that overstepping this redline would "leave the people [of Bahrain] with no other choice but armed resistance."
Bahrain on Monday revoked the citizenship of Sheikh Isa Ahmed Qassim, claiming that he has been involved in spreading extremism.
"Definitely, Al Khalifah will pay the price for this and it will result in nothing other than the collapse of this bloodthirsty regime," the IRGC commander said.
Soleimani warned that supporters of Bahrain's Al Khalifah regime must know that disrespect to Sheikh Qassim and the continuation of excessive crackdown on Bahraini people will "trigger a bloody intifada," whose consequences would be on those who legitimize the outrageous behavior of Bahrain's rulers.
Bahrain's Interior Ministry claimed in a statement that Sheikh Qassim actively sought the "creation of a sectarian environment" through his connections with foreign powers.
The ministry claimed that the cleric had misused his religious position to advance a political agenda and serve foreign interests.
The Interior Ministry's statement added that the senior cleric "caused harm to the interests of the Bahraini kingdom or had acted contrary to the duty of loyalty to the government."
Describing as illegal donations to Sheikh Qassim by his followers in Bahrain, the statement further accused the cleric of receiving money and using it without obtaining the required legal licenses.
Here is the full text of the statement:
The oppressed Muslim nation of Bahrain had been under the cruel, biased, unfair, and illegitimate regime of Al-Khalifa for long years. Despite furious acts which included unashamedly racist discrimination, arrest of their religious leaders, imprisoning and torturing women and children, stripping citizenship, violation of their rights without any qualms and several other crimes, this patient people have exercised patience; tightening the pressures has never distracted Bahraini people of their non-violent approach.
However, imprudence of House of Khalifa has reached a point where the regime turned a blind eye to peaceful and civilized conduct of this people, taking the opportunity to continue its violations along the meaningful and deafening silence of United Nations, the US and other western countries, to extend the brazenness and crimes of putting more pressure on them. The illegal arrest of Sheikh Ali Salman and other religious figures in Bahrain even made the regime more aggressive to target this time Sheikh Issa Qassim, thus disturbing the public mentality.
Seemingly, the Al-Khalifa regime has underestimated and misinterpreted the scope and magnitude of the public wrath; encroachment of the religious leader's rights is definitely a sure redline for the public the crossing of which would set the region ablaze, leaving no alternative than resorting to armed resistance.
The consequences of the possible conflict would be beyond estimation and would rewrite the history through toppling the despotic regime. The supporters of the regime in Manama should accept responsibility for legitimizing the brazen rulers of Bahrain for any bloody confrontation.

I went to Kroger the other day to pick up some milk and bread. I noticed that the bag clerk looked at me in an odd sort of way. His shirt collar was a bit askew. I made a mental note. On the way to my car, an empty grocery cart came rolling down the hill headed straight for me! I jumped aside as it whizzed by, nearly escaping a catastrophic bruise, and watched as it crashed into the light pole behind me. But wait, the light on the pole was flickering, yet it was only 3:00 in the afternoon. Did it foretell pending doom?
I won't say that reading "Air Rage" will make you an international spy, but it might make you a nervous nellie. The world is a dangerous place in Sam Yarney's newest novel, and none of life's details are too small to go unnoticed. Multiple bad guys try to take down the forces of good, represented by swashbuckling British journalist Cyrus Anderson. Anderson lives in conflict between his love for world adventure and love for his family. OK, we can all identify with part of that. But this is not your garden-variety international spy caper, for Anderson is led not only by a Jack Ryan-like visceral instinct for good and bad, but Anderson seeks God's direction in all he does. He's got a rock solid prayer chain anchored by a fabulous wife and friends who pray him through all manner of wild stuff.
I'm betting that "Air Rage" author Sam Yarney has a bit of Cyrus Anderson in him. Yarney is an international businessman, and he is active in several Christian organizations in England, where he lives. While "Air Rage" reads like a good novel, fast paced and entertaining, I bet there is a bit of reality behind that which Yarney serves up.
"Air Rage" is the second book of a trilogy from Sam Yarney. Its predecessor, "Ninety Days," was published in 2002, and this is where we first meet Cyrus Anderson as he trots the globe to save it from heinous bad guys. The conclusion to "Air Rage" certainly leaves room for a one whopping conclusion.
I'll not give away the plot for "Air Rage," but I will tell you it has a frightful air of plausibility. Unlike many books of this genre, "Air Rage" is not over the top or so rich with detail that it takes weeks to read. But I will warn you of this, once you've read "Air Rage," you'll never look at grocery clerks quite the same way. OK, OK, I'm exaggerating about grocery clerks, but it's no exaggeration to say that you'll love this book! "Air Rage" is a perfect Christmas gift for that adventure-minded reader on your Christmas list.

This guide discusses the VBScript Err object.
The VBScript Err object provides access to run-time error information.
The Err object encapsulates errors for a VBScript script. By default, if an error occurs, VBScript terminates script execution and RhinoScript reports the error back to the user. Sometimes this default error processing is not desirable. In this case, the Err object and the On Error statement can be used to let scripts perform their own error handling.
The .Number property is the error number (or code) for the error. This is the default property of the Err object.
The .Source property contains a string that specifies the source of the error. This is typically the ProgID (Programmatic Identifier) of the object that generated the error.
The .Description property contains a string describing the error.
The .HelpFile and .HelpContext properties store information to reference a help topic in a help file. This allows the error to refer to information on possible causes of the error.
Err.Raise 1000, "This is a script-defined error", "Test Script"
This example displays the standard RhinoScript error dialog box showing the error information.
In this example, the Err.Raise method is used to raise a run-time error. Normally, this would stop script execution. However, the earlier On Error statement allows script execution to continue. So the If statement executes and displays the error number.
Here, an attempt is made to convert the string "foo" into an integer. Because this is an invalid conversion, a run-time type mismatch error is generated. The information on this error is placed in the Err object. This is then processed by the If statement.
After an On Error statement executes, it remains in effect for the rest of the procedure in which it executes. If the On Error statement executes in global scope, it remains in effect until the script terminates. Nested procedures can each have their own On Error statement. For example, subroutine A can execute an On Error statement and then execute subroutine B, which in turn, executes an On Error statement.
Here, the Err.Raise method invocation is nested even more deeply. In this case, when the error occurs, VBScript abandons further execution of both Sub1 and Sub2 to continue execution at the global level.
The On Error statement is a simple form of a technique known as structured exception handling. The basic idea behind this technique is to centralize all the error handling code in a single location outside of the main flow of the program. This is the reason for the complex behavior of the On Error statement.
The assumption is that a large script might contain many procedures that interact in complex ways. It is possible that an error will occur when procedures are nested very deeply. Without the On Error statement, each procedure must return some form of error code to the procedure from which it was called. In turn, this procedure must do the same thing, and so on for all the nested procedures. This can greatly add to the complexity of the script.
With the On Error statement, this complexity can be avoided. When an error occurs, VBScript automatically takes care of unwinding out of the complex nest of procedures back to the statement that followed the original procedure invocation.

At the end of August, 2010, beginning of September, Canadian media broke the story of a senior Manitoba judge involved in a sex scandal. While the air still remains to be cleared; there can be no doubt that this judge has found herself smack-dab centre stage in the middle of public opinion.
Lori Douglas, associate chief justice of Manitoba Court of Queen's Bench (family division) had a formal complaint filed against her with the Canadian Judicial Council and her husband Jack King, 64, a Winnipeg lawyer still has a complaint lodged against him with Manitoba's Law Society.
According to the story, a computer specialist Alexander Chapman, 44 has alleged that King harassed him in 2003 by pressing him to have sex with Douglas who was only a lawyer at that time. Apparently, King showed Chapman sexually explicit photos of Douglas engaged in various sex acts including forms of bondage, in chains, with sex toys and performing oral sex. King's lawyer has said that King did not tell his wife he had shown the photos to anyone or that he went so far as to post the photos on a porn website.
An Ottawa legal expert, Sébastien Grammond, dean of civil law at the University of Ottawa has said this incident raises issues about Lori Douglas's ability to perform as a judge. Even if it is proven that Douglas is the unwitting victim of some sort of scheme, her credibility has been damaged if not destroyed. Grammond went on to explain how a judge represents the legal system and the conduct and image of a judge reflects on the justice system as a whole. He doubts that Douglas would have ever been appointed a judge if it was known that nude photos of her existed on the Internet.
Sex, still the ultimate sin
As I read over the various articles about this story, I was reminded how sex more than just about anything else has the ability of instantaneously transform the innocent into the guilty, of elevating the minor to the major and ruining a career and destroying a reputation faster than you can blink an eye. If I say "Bill Clinton", does anybody remember him with an approval rating of 73%? Does anybody remember anything he did as president? No and that is an emphatic no. We all remember just two words: Monica Lewinsky. No matter what he did as president, no matter what he's done since and let's not forget that this includes charitable work, work in the political arena as a world stage negotiator and a public speaker, we will never manage to erase the white spot on the blue dress.
This comic fictional character created and portrayed by actor Paul Reubens rose to the pinnacle of fame with Pee-wee's Playhouse, an Emmy Award winning children's series on CBS. In 1991, the actor, Paul Reubens was arrested by police for masturbating in an adult theatre. Both the actor Reubens and the character Pee-wee became the subject of ridicule. CBS dropped the show; Walt Disney severed all ties; Toys-R-Us removed Pee-wee toys from its stores. Paul Reubens went into hiding.
I have to think about this. Paul Reubens made a mistake; he used poor judgement. He was merely doing what just about all of us do. Nevertheless, his infraction was elevated in the eyes of the public to a crime of biblical proportions and he had to pay with his career and his reputation. It almost seems like being sentenced to death for littering. You go to a movie theatre to watch a pornographic film, a type of film designed to sexually arouse you but you get arrested if you try to do something about it. If the movie showed a nice juicy steak and you started to drool while feeling peckish, you could at least eat your popcorn. Somehow there's something odd in all this and I come back to being sentenced to death for littering: the punishment far outweighs the crime.
Sex is Dirty
Is it no wonder that we grow up with this idea that sex is dirty? That sex is something which must remain hidden; can only be performed behind closed doors and for gawd's sake; be careful with whom you discuss it? Talk about it; admit to it and your name is mud. Tilt; game over.
Ah, I can hear you say, "But these stories involve something bad being done, possibly criminal activity." We could argue about whether it's bad or criminal but the point is how the connection to sex remains indelibly engraved on our memory. Even if we are not personally involved, there can be an associated sense of apprehension if not fear about anything relating to sex.
When the Monica Lewinsky affair hit the papers, there seemed to no limit to the amount of column space dedicated to reviewing in detail every aspect of the case. Bill was impeached for lying. "Ha, ha, ha!" you say? Does anybody enjoy getting caught with their pants down? Does anybody enjoy being put on public display? Does anybody enjoy the most intimate details of their life especially their sexual life being dissected and analysed in the media?
Yes, I know, these people did something wrong. Fine, I got it. But what is the one difference between these people and us? Simple, our peccadilloes have not hit the headlines.
Is sex dirty? Only if it's done right.
- Woody Allen: from the film Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex (1972)
The tag line of Joan Rivers: can we talk? Good question. The answer lies very much in whether or not we can break free of our puritanical shackles and whether we can support the potential ridicule of those who do not take kindly to our displays openness and honesty. One bitten, twice shy? Openness and honesty are great but there are risks in that not everybody is going to subscribe to the same policy. We may inadvertently bring down on our head scorn and shame. It makes you think twice before opening your mouth.
An episode of this American television sitcom comes to mind. One of the main characters, Dan, has suffered some erectile dysfunction on a date. Worried sick about not having been able to "get it up", he confides to the various other male characters. One by one each man listens with a great deal of sympathy telling him that it's nothing to worry about. At this point of his conversation with each of his colleagues, Dan asks if the other man has ever had this happen to him. Each male character replies by exclaiming in an indignant tone, "Who me? No way!"
This is all done to be funny but exemplifies the current state of affairs. Don't forget how much humour can come out of merely repeating what we all know to be true. We don't talk about sex; it's taboo, dirty, stuff to snicker about behind closed doors. - Of course, this episode of Night Court also makes fun of us men as supposedly being supermen, men who never fail, who are always "up to the job". But that will be another article.
These "dirty" people are the exception to the rule
Hmm, are they? In my blog Anonymity: The power to speak freely, I write about how we are very much influenced or pressured by the people around us, by the world around us, by "real life" and that we probably have no idea of what "really" is going on.
My father had read an article in Reader's Digest in which the author made the statement that one in four Canadian families have experienced some sort of domestic abuse. During a walk around the neighbourhood, he ran into a neighbour, a family doctor to whom he talked about the article and his surprise in thinking that a statistic of 25% would mean that such a thing is going on in the neighbourhood. The doctor replied, "Oh I assure you, I know it's going on in this neighbourhood." The point is, do we really know?
This gentleman has been an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States since 1991. Now there's a position which elicits a certain degree of respect and honour and trustworthiness.
During his confirmation hearings, it came out that one woman Anita Hill alleged that Thomas subjected her to comments of a sexual nature; behaviour she felt was inappropriate if not quite illegal sexual harassment. A second woman alleged the same thing.
Thomas got off but I knew he was guilty. I've seen this behaviour; I've heard the suggestive comments and being a guy myself, I know exactly what this all about. See my blog Sex: Men Are From Mars
The point is that we have a respected member of society showing his... naughty side. Would you have guessed?
How many "dirty" people are there?
Pornography is a multi-billion dollar industry. Somebody's got to be looking at that stuff. But that is at the far end of the spectrum; we can tone it down a notch or two and our net starts encompassing an even broader segment of the population.
Go to Google and type in "rate my". Rate my teacher, rate my car, rate my puppy (cute), rate my parking, rate my mullet (what?), "normal" stuff, eh? How about rate my picture, rate my bottom, rate my chest, rate my rack, rate my body, and rate my ex-girlfriend? Who are these people? Who's posting the pictures? Who's looking at them?
Let's kick it up a notch. TangoTime which started several years ago as a fairly tame web site devoted to the posting and rating of normal pictures has grown into a site of everyday people posting sexually explicit photos of themselves. Let me repeat "everyday people" posting pictures, not professional models or porn stars, just everyday people. Gosh, it could be Lori Douglas and her husband Jack King. Or it could be your neighbours.
I can add to all this the term "sexting", the act of sending sexually explicit messages or photographs, primarily between mobile phones. Let's not forget virtual worlds of MMORPGs (Massively multiplayer online role-playing games) like Second Life or Red Light Center, even World of Warcraft where participants can create an avatar representing them and engage in activities which span the gamut of everything one can do in real life... er, or can't do in real life.
Back in the early 90's, I was watching one of the talk shows, not quite as elevated as Oprah but not as low as Jerry Springer. A couple is being interviewed but we're given to understand they have a secret. Commercial break. We return to see... two women. I look closer. Woman number two is the husband; he's dressed up in drag. The wife explains that her husband has always had a fetish for women's clothes and once a month he dresses up and the 2 of them go out together as 2 women. She goes on to say that her husband is a wonderful man, a great husband, a good lover and an excellent father; he just seems to have this one special quirk and it is the only oddity out of an otherwise exemplary human being.
First of all, that is quite the example of a woman's love for her man and her acceptance of him. But secondly, do we ever really know what's next door? Who's next door?
Puritanical
On the one hand, our society seems to have a puritanical streak, the link to our past and our traditions which are very much based on religion; on the other we have what is going on behind closed doors and which in some cases spills over into public life as in posting pictures on-line.
Lori Douglas dressed up in bondage leather and performing oral sex? Well, that's not something she would necessarily want published as the front page headline of every national newspaper in country but it would seem to me from the above various examples that her behaviour is not as "uncommon" as one may think.
Will Lori Douglas survive? I repeat what the legal expert, Grammond said. Even if it is proven that Douglas is the unwitting victim of some sort of scheme, her credibility has been damaged if not destroyed. ... A judge represents the legal system and the conduct and image of a judge reflects on the justice system as a whole. Grammond doubts that Douglas would have ever been appointed a judge if it was known that nude photos of her existed on the Internet.
Clarence Thomas went on to serve well. Bill Clinton was a good president and continues to be a good world statesman. Paul Reubens is back and I've been given to understand, so is Pee-wee. Is Lori Douglas any less of a judge? Only her peers and time will tell.
I quote the Toronto Star from an article published on September 1, 2010:
The Canadian Judicial Council's Ethical Principles for Judges — which judges are encouraged but not required to follow — say they should strive to conduct themselves with integrity and avoid conduct that would diminish public respect for the judiciary.
Can someone who poses naked with a whip be considered a person of integrity, or does the question open the door to inappropriate moral judgments about an individual's personal life?
While Chapman did drop his suit against Douglas on September 21, he still has an outstanding complaint of sexual harassment against Douglas filed with the Canadian Judicial Council and he is still going to pursue lawsuits against King and King's firm. Originally, when the story broke, it was reported that the Council would take 3 months to review these charges. As such, Douglas must still run the gauntlet before finding out if she's still in hot water or free and clear.
But will she ever be free and clear? No matter what happens, nobody is ever going to erase the headlines splashed all across Canada. We have all read the stories and I'm sure there are many copies of these supposed racy photos floating around in cyberspace. Nevertheless, she can remain hopeful. Bill has a new career that so far is "spot on" and even Tiger is slowly making a comeback.
Postscript: January 14, 2011
Newspapers are reporting that pictures of Douglas have shown up on the Internet. This obviously isn't going to end anytime soon. Ms. Douglas is still facing a review by her peers which could result in her being removed from the bench and I'm sure the re-posting of these pictures will not bode well for her future. Anonymity is a truly wonderful thing. (see Alan Parker's admonishment below)
Postscript: June 14, 2012
According to the Winnipeg Free Press as of May 18, 2012:
Jan. 6, 2011: An initial review of the complaint against Douglas determines it warrants further consideration and is forwarded to a review panel of five judges.
July 6, 2011: The five-judge review panel sends the investigation to a rare public inquiry to determine if Douglas should be removed from the bench.
According to Christine Blatchford in the Vancouver Sun, June 14, 2012, this whole case is at its best very weak. The Canadian Judicial Council, in the hopes of being transparent while under public scrutiny, is continuing out of due diligence but seems to be indirectly admitting the whole thing isn't worth it.
The case seems to boil down to whether or not Douglas should be penalized for the actions of others. While the taking of explicit pictures of Ms. Douglas by her husband may be questionable, it is legal. If it is accepted that the husband then uploaded said pictures to the Internet or used those pictures in any dealings with Chapman without the knowledge of his wife, should Lori Douglas be in any way held accountable?

Complaint's credibility in tatters at Judge Douglas's disciplinary hearing
By Christie Blatchford, Postmedia News June 28, 2012
It would seem that Mr. Chapman is something of an unsavory character. I'm certain Mr. King, the husband of Lori Douglas, rues the day he ever had any dealings with this man.
Postscript: July 27, 2012
I am betting that everyone involved is very, very sorry that this issue ever came to light. It is embarrassing but it is also distracting. I am sure many would argue there are far more important issues to be dealt with and no matter what happens here, nobody is ever going to get satisfaction. The latest newspaper articles on the case would lead one to believe that this is going to drag on and on and on.

Lori Douglas is not a victim by Georgialee Lang
Georgialee Lang is a Vancouver lawyer and former adjunct professor at UBC law school. She has spent 24 years as trial and appellate counsel and authors an award-winning blog at lawdiva.wordpress.com [Ms. Lang has written an interesting article and a compelling argument for Lori Douglas to step down as a judge. Whether she is a victim or she is complicit no longer matters.]
Yes, I reject Douglas' claims she is a victim; she is not. She has the education and sophistication of a worldly woman who knew when she applied for a judicial position that she would be held to a higher standard of conduct than the pole dancers at Winnipeg's popular Teaser's Burlesque Cabaret.
Judges must understand and accept restrictions on their activities, even if those activities would be acceptable for Jane Doe.

Blackmail risk kept Manitoba judge from prior appointment
According to this report, other judges and/or the JAC have had knowledge of the sex pictures for nearly a decade and have acted accordingly worried about "the potential risk of embarrassment and blackmail."
Postscript: Nov 24, 2014
A Canadian Judicial Council panel has accepted an offer from Lori Douglas, a senior Manitoba judge, to retire early in exchange for avoiding a hearing on whether she should be kicked off the bench over nude photos of her that appeared on the internet. ... Douglas's lawyer, Sheila Block, said the agreement was struck with the council to stay the proceedings in return for the associate chief justice's offer to retire in May 2015. In addition to staying the proceedings, Douglas would have the photographs in question returned to her so she can destroy them. -CBC Nov 24/2014
Postscript: Jan 5, 2016
A Manitoba judge whose nude photos were posted online by her husband without her knowledge says her subsequent disciplinary hearing was like being repeatedly sexually assaulted. Douglas is quoted as saying that knowing staff with the Canadian Judicial Council were viewing the photos as part of the hearing was like "torture that's inflicted in war on women."
In the article, Douglas said she feels that had she been a man, the reaction to the photos would have been different. Douglas said she did nothing wrong and the council should have defended her rather than drag her through a messy disciplinary hearing. "But nobody spoke up for me," Douglas is quoted as saying. "If I had been a man whose wife was taking pictures, the CJC would have said, 'Poor Joe. He's married to a wing nut."'
Douglas is quoted by the magazine as saying her life crumbled when the photos surfaced. "I lost my job. I lost my life. I lost my reputation. If it hadn't been for my son, there would have been little reason to keep on." ... She was "furious" when she found out the photos existed online, Douglas said. King apologized to her almost every day and Douglas ended up forgiving him. -CBC Jan 5/2016

Manitoba sex judge just a Canadian copycat by Alan Parker
http://blogs.canoe.ca/parker/tag/lori-douglas/
Mr. Parker in an amusing way compares Lori Douglas to a Belgian judge who also found himself in hot water over public revelations of his sexual escapades. Mr. Parker ends his blog entry with this admonishment:
If, on the other hand, she is able to hang onto her judging job, nobody — lawyers, court staff, civilians appearing before her — will ever be able to sit in her courtroom again without thinking about those photos of Judge Lori in her sweaty altogether with the chains and whips and sex toys/tools.
Let that be a lesson for you, kids: Whatever you do in your (supposedly) private life, don't let anyone take photos of you doing it … or it could someday be far more public than you ever expected.

We provide exclusive, tailor-made mobile safaris throughout Botswana allowing our guests to spend time in the heart of the bush experiencing nature up close. In the comfort of ther own safari camp and with the knowledge and experience of our private guides, your guests will travel across the best of Botswana. Get in touch to start their adventure of a lifetime.
Being based in Maun – the hub of the tourism sector in Botswana – we are constantly in touch with what is happening in the safari industry, and having been doing it for over 15 years, we have developed close relationships with members throughout the African safari industry, including operators of lodges, air charter companies and professional guides, to name just a few. These relationships are beneficial in enabling us to keep our fingers on the pulse, which in turn ensures that you receive the best possible advice and service when putting together itineraries for your clients.
At GA we pride ourselves on taking the time to understand the needs, interests, motivations and desires of your clients, and then combining them with our vast experience of Botswana and the African bush, in order to develop tailor-made safaris. Through this personal care and attention to detail we are able to provide you with a full, singular service in organising a bespoke safari. From your guests' arrival where they are met by a representative of GA, they will be taken care of, every step of the way on their journey through Botswana, and maybe beyond.
We offer you an array of activities to consider, starting with our luxury mobile tented safaris, through to lodge safaris to walking trails, anthropological to fishing to kayaking, game viewing from motor-boat to horseback, and much, much more.
Every safari follows ethical guiding practices and all are led by experienced, knowledgeable, passionate and informed guides, ensuring your clients receive a unique and life-changing trip within Botswana's pristine wilderness areas.
We believe it is imperative that the tourism industry takes responsibility for our natural resources through maximised benefits to the people of developing countries; they are after all, the custodians of its future. This is our wildlife conservation mission. It is a fact of life in Botswana that fences constructed during its early development years have resulted in the demise of massive ancient migrations. These fences were constructed to benefit the country's lucrative beef exports to Europe. Most people in Botswana are supported by their subsistence livestock farming and arable agricultural practices. With this in mind, despite the developed world educated guesses, wildlife and the natural environment have other values. This is why the educated people in tourism must do more for the uneducated. The simple fact that a better income from wildlife and safari tourism rather than from livestock is the only way we can secure a future for wildlife. It is our aim in the industry to increase and maximize wildlife potential for tourism that will create increased opportunities for employment and other benefits to the rural people of Botswana. This is being done with responsible training and secure employment. Education is as important for the youth as employment is for the adults. It is important to involve the children in tourism and wildlife for purely educational purposes. We encourage guests to send us school materials that the government is under resourced to supply.

That goes without saying, except that today we're witnessing a dehumanization of Muslims in America's political arena. No one disputes that every Muslim seeking a visa as a refugee, student or professional must be carefully vetted. We know radical Muslim groups aim to infiltrate Western societies in order to attack and destabilize them. And that calls for extra caution to ensure that they don't succeed. But to single all Muslim immigrants out, as if they inherently represent a criminal element or some kind of contamination to be contained, is different. Government policies like President Trump's now quashed "Muslim ban" can unwittingly send that message out.
Nothing will help us avoid such dehumanizing policy missteps in the future like getting to know our Muslim neighbor over a cup of coffee, down the street or across the country. Similarly, Akhtar al-Sinjari's autobiographical account helps humanize the Muslim immigrant experience. Now retired, al-Sinjari gives us a vivid glimpse of what her coming to the United States from Iraq 30 years ago involved.
If only the media gave us one such story for every account of radical Muslim actions around the world, it might help us remember that our Muslim neighbors are people just like us.

The idea of selling your house can be a crazy idea to think about. Regardless if you're moving away for work or just looking to upgrade into a nicer home, there are many reasons you may find yourself in a position to sell your home. When the time comes, it is important for homeowners to ask 'what's my house worth?' and seek out professional help from a licensed real estate agent.
We here at The Ryan Godshall Team can help give homeowners the guidance they need to see their own home. The amount of questions homeowners may have once they decide to sell their home can be quite overwhelming. Luckily, our team of real estate agents has been able to help homeowners sell their own home and help first time home buyers find their dream home for years. We strive to make selling your house as stress-free as possible.
Having a place to store belongings is one of the most important parts of the home. You can never have too much storage in your home. To help show this, empty out half of your closets, drawers and pantries. Leaving just a few things in your storage area will help make the storage area seem bigger than it really is.
Natural light is another important factor that homeowners may overlook. We recommend taking down the drapes and during curtains, cleaning the windows and trimming any of the bushes or trees near your windows. A home with a lot of light is much easier to sell than a dark home.
Hey, that's us! This is where we come in. Having the assistance of a reputable and licensed real estate agent will help make sure your house is valued accurately and comparable to neighboring houses.
This may not make much sense at first, but we encourage all of our clients to turn their home into a house. This means taking down a lot of personal pictures and belongings that make your house your home. Potential buyers are going to want to imagine your house as their home, not be annoyed by how many people soccer pictures you have of your six-year-old. There are even home staging companies that can help make your house stand out.
If you live in the Blue Bell, Lansdale, North Wales and Montgomery County area and looking to sell your house, don't do it alone, we here at The Ryan Godshall Team can help with every step of the process. Give us a call today to get started!

In order to make this post, I made a few Internet searches and found information on the names that appeared on the typewritten lists.
Evelyn worked in the 5 b's (or 5 bobbins area where they ran bobbins of thread on to other bobbins) it was a section for that specific manufacturing process in the mill.
From the seniority list paper on the mill wall, she started worked there on February 27, 1942, and through the WWII years until 1957 when the mill shut down overnight. She was a part of "The Greatest Generation." During the early WWII years the silk thread from the mill went into the sewing of parachutes for the war effort, until raw silk from Japan became unavailable.
From her obituary in the Cumberland News dated January 3, 1968: Evelyn Steele died January 1, 1968 it appears she never married as there was no mention of children or any mention of a husband, but she came from a large family of brothers and sisters. She worked out her years in a retirement home. She died at age 60 Wednesday, January 1, 1968.
Russell Nine was employed at the mill beginning May 25, 1942 through closing in June 1957.
Margaret Yantz worked in the mill from April 10, 1946 until it closed in 1957.
From her mothers obituary dated January 11, 1943 Cumberland Times her Mother died at age 79 and she Margaret was at home with her sister Bessie at the time of her mothers passing.
They were from a a family of seven, five sisters and two brothers.
(source roots web)* She was also part of "The Greatest Generation."
Elizabeth Leatherman~ was married to John Leatherman.. John came home to Lonaconing on Dec 20, 1942 from Augusta Military Academy, a brief note from a local paper reported.
Eva (Nightengale)Watkinson~ Married John Watkinson and had 5 brothers and two sisters. (from her sisters obituary Florence Duckworth, dated Feb 19, 2010 Medville Tribune.) It also appears from her sister's obituary that she too worked at the mill at one point in her life.
During the great depression the Mill reorganized and changed the name from the Klotz Throwing Company to the General Textile Mills. An Oral History Doc on the mill can be download from the Internet at this site. Silk Mill and Oral History. The Lonaconing Silk Mill 1907-1957 was written and published to preserve the memories and experiences of the people who lived and worked in the mill. This was the first of many books to be produced by the Allegheny High School Social Studies Department.
A calendar from the year the mil closed still hangs on the wall.
Virgil Alexander, I found a record of a Virgil Alexander as Mayor of Lonaconing from 1950-1956 and from 1960 -1962. I am going to assume that this may have been the father of the bobbin boy Virgil Alexander or it could have been one in the same, in small towns Mayors came from all walks of life. In a Cumberland Times newspaper article from April 1961, it stated he was a furniture salesman in Cumberland.
Great set and very interesting information on the people of the mill.
Thanks Nancy for checking out the blog!
Very atmospheric images, Karen, and fascinating information about these mill workers. You really are a talented and thorough researcher. I read all this information with deep interest.
Thanks you Shaun, glad you felt the atmosphere! I enjoyed the research as well. Maybe in my genes...my folks researched and wrote all the Geneology for both sides of the family, which they left for us to enjoy.

The Justia Lawyer Directory is a listing of lawyers, legal aid organizations, and pro bono legal service organizations. Whether you were injured, are accused of a crime, or are merely engaging in everyday affairs that affect your legal rights or property, an attorney can help you resolve problems or prevent new ones from arising.
Here are just a few situations where you might want to seek the advice of an attorney:
You were injured in a car or truck accident
You have been arrested and charged with a crime, such as DUI or shoplifting
You are considering separating from your spouse
You have been subjected to harassment or other discrimination at work
Use Justia to research and compare Eden attorneys so that you can make an informed decision when you hire your counsel.
It is important to research an attorney before hiring him or her. Be sure to evaluate an attorney's experience (types of cases handled, prior results obtained, etc.). Although prior results are not indicative of the likelihood of success in your case, they can help you make an informed decision.
Also worth serious consideration is the attorney's location, particularly if you will be traveling to visit him or her for consultations.
Finally, research an attorney to see whether he or she has ever been subject to discipline. Although disciplinary actions do not necessarily impact the attorney's competence to handle your case, they may affect your decision whether to hire.

Q: What game is this (possibly recolored) sprite of a girl with a sword from? I'm developing a game and have some concerns about the originality of the artwork that a collaborator has shown me. A friend of mine tells me that this sprite looks familiar to him but he can't quite place it.

Is this a (possibly recolored or otherwise modified) sprite from an existing game?
Update: It is stolen art. The original has been found here thanks to Martin Sojka.

A: That's pretty obviously Lightning, from Final Fantasy 13.  They've made a sprite version, so not completely the same, but not at all original.

HAC 'encouraged' by federal budget's tourism spending
HAC's Tony Pollard.
OTTAWA — The Hotel Association of Canada (HAC), in a release issued March 22, is "encouraged with the federal government's recognition of tourism, in the March 22 budget, wherein Finance Minister Bill Morneau pledged a commitment of $50 million over two years starting in 2016-2017."
"Canada's national tourism marketing organization, Destination Canada, has a strong track record of working with industry partners to maximize the impact of marketing campaigns," said the Finance Minister quoted in the release. "Budget 2016 builds on this successful model by proposing to provide $50 million over two years, starting in 2016-17, to Destination Canada to seize opportunities with partners by augmenting marketing initiatives in important international markets, such as the United States and China."
To express his appreciation, HAC president Tony Pollard send a note to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Ministers of Tourism, Environment, Treasury Board and to each of the 35 members of the Tourism Caucus. "Yesterday's federal budget demonstrates full well your commitment to the very important travel and tourism industry. Minister, the two words 'Thank You' are, unfortunately, not heard that often in Ottawa. So, to you on behalf of 288,000 people working in the lodging industry, thank you."
In addition, the government will be supporting activities and events to celebrate Canada's 150th anniversary in 2017, with $150 million to be spent over two years.
The budget also proposes to spend another $3.4 billion over five years earmarked for national parks, harbours, airport, and border infrastructure. Additional proposals call for the earmarking of $20 million over two years to Parks Canada, including historic lighthouses and railway stations; an additional $45 million for service, safety and capital improvements; and proposes $73 million in new funding to support ferry services in Atlantic Canada.
