Sports clubs root for Portsmouth
Pompey is due to appear in the High Court in a bid to defend themselves against HMRC in a widely publicised battle in relation to image rights paid to players.
Every football, rugby and cricket club who give their players an image rights payment as part of their salaries will be waiting with baited breath to see the outcome of the case.
The taxman is pursuing Pompey for £18.2m in 'unpaid taxes of the image rights of certain players'. Several other clubs are also currently in dispute with HMRC over their own image rights arrangements.
The case provides a platform for a legal precedent for the entire UK sporting industry, something HMRC know only too well.
HMRC are confident they can persuade the court that Portsmouth Football Club has been avoiding their tax liabilities.
HMRC will use Sol Campbell's alleged contract with Portsmouth which entitled him to £1.67m per year in image rights payments.
As Pompey only raked in £7.2m annually in merchandising and sponsorship, it means that one pound in every five the club received was, purportedly, paid into Campbell's offshore account.
This, as you can imagine, is a very important date for all professional sporting clubs. However, judging by Pompey's form both on and off the pitch during the last year, they may wish that someone else was involved in this ever so important test case.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro to arrive in February 2021 – GSMArena.com news – GSMArena.com
Here's what Samsung's official cases for the Galaxy S21 series will look like – XDA Developers
Xiaomi Mi 11 Bugs and Issues we found on our Review Unit – gizmochina
The Xiaomi Mi 11 debuted as the first Snapdragon 888 flagship in the market last month. The phone offers tremendous value for your money bringing in a top-notch 2K display with the fastest Snapdragon chip in the market right now. You even get two different material options on the device, one with a leather back and another one with a traditional glass one.
However, being the first Snapdragon 888 smartphone in the market, there was bound to be some small bugs and issues with the device. Surprisingly, these bugs turned out to be more than what we had imagined which is why we decided to make a quick video giving you a complete picture of the Mi 11.
Note that most of these bugs can be resolved via a software update. So while it does hinder your user experience right out of the box, in the next couple of months, we can expect the phone to be more refined. That said, if you are buying the phone right now (before the software update), you'll have to live with a few glitches and we have noted them down below.
Mi 11 bugs and issues we discovered
The Mi 11 randomly shuts down during usage.
The camera app crashes occasionally while shooting photos.
Some games don't load properly and you may see a noisy pixelated screen.
Snapdragon 888 heats up quickly and the Mi 11 isn't able to take full advantage of the chip's processing power as it throttles down the clock speed to manage the heat.
Camera Performance is Average
The leather Mi 11 rattles when playing via the loudspeaker.
So these were some of the issues that we found on the Mi 11. Given that its a flagship device, you would expect it to have a flawless performance right out of the box. But that isn't the case here.
However, we want to stress that most of these issues can be solved via a future software update. And in a month or two, the Mi 11 will likely be as refined as any other flagship in the market. So if you are okay with these bugs, you can go ahead and get the Xiaomi Mi 11. As we mentioned in our review, the phone has a lot to offer for its price tag.
But personally, I am shifting back to the Mi 10 Ultra for the time being. Hopefully, when the Mi 11 Pro or the Ultra makes it to the market after the Chinese Spring Festival, I'll try getting back to the Mi 11 series.

Samsung Galaxy S21 Thoughts and Impressions | The Startup – Medium
Is it innovation? Or is it compensation?
Jan 16 · 9 min read
Samsung S21 Family — From Samsung
I love phone announcement events.
The fanfare behind the announcement is extravagant, sometimes rightfully so, most of the time, not as rightfully so.
I'm still fascinated yearly by the over the top dramatics that circle around events like CES, and OEM announcements like Samsung's Unpacked events.
2021 has been more virtual with tech events, but the underlying feelings have not changed.
Towards the end of CES tech enthusiasts and die-hard Samsung Fans alike were all wondering about what the next Galaxy S iteration would bring to the table. Considering we're still knee-deep in a pandemic, it's not surprising that events are different this year.
I'm not quite sure what I was expecting when I read about the Galaxy S21. Samsung's Unpacked Event was virtual this year, a testament to our inability to attend events in person.
Samsung — Photo by Kote Puerto on Unsplash
This year, 2021, the year of calamity, foolishness, and masks, brings a series of devices that have confused me a bit. The devices announced are the Galaxy S21, the Galaxy S21+, and the Galaxy S21 Ultra.
I wonder if this is the company compensating for the mitigating factors surrounding money during the pandemic, or is it innovation instead of compensation?
Confused? Me too. Let's get to the details first.
Wait! let's talk about chargers!
Yep, just like the iPhone, we're having to deal with saying goodbye to another accessory that had a home in the flagship phone packaging.
You aren't going to get a power brick when you purchase the phone. Yes, I was upset about this when I spoke about the iPhone 12, I know. But at this point, we're all going to have to expect the lack of accessories with flagship phones. From iPhone 12 to Xiaomi, and now the S21 family of devices, it's time to let go of the idea of having a charger with your new phone packaging. I mentioned it recently in my smartphone rumors and predictions, and I'm pretty confident that this is the only prediction I'm not wildly off base within 2021.
Smartphone Rumors and Predictions of 2021; From Your Homie! (Part One)
Let's Breakdown Rumors, Predictions, and Uneducated Guesses for the Rest of 2021.
We went through this moment when the iPhone got rid of the headphone jack; we were alright. We're going to eventually get over the charger not coming with the box too. I'm still not going to forget that Apple called the decision courageous. It's alright.
Now, let's talk about the Galaxy S21. Here are the particulars behind the Galaxy S21 family, available on January 29 all over the place.
Galaxy S21 Series Spec Breakdown
Taking a look at all of the S21 options, we start with the base model Galaxy S21. I pulled the specs from Ars Technica which you can see below if you want the in-depth comparison.
The Galaxy S21 is official, gets an across-the-board $200 price drop
Samsung's new smartphones are finally official, so let's meet the Galaxy S21 family. The design and specs line up with…
arstechnica.com
Galaxy S21:
S21 Rear Camera — From Samsung
IP68 Water Resistance
6.2″ / 1080p / 120Hz Display (oh, the speed! the speed of it all!)
8GB RAM (remember, the S20 had 12GB RAM)
Snapdragon 888 / Exynos 2100 (Everywhere Else)
10MP Front Camera / 12MP Main, 12 Wide, 64 Telephoto Rear Camera Combo
128GB/256GB storage options with no expandable storage
4000mAh Battery (the power…Look at all of that power)
USB C charging with Wireless Charging Capabilities
S21+, S21 Ultra — From Samsung
A few step-downs concerning storage not being expandable, the price, the refresh rate, the RAM, whatever. You can consider some of these specs as a reason for the lower price.
In light of some of the cutbacks concerning the S21/S21+, we still have an updated SoC with the Snapdragon 888, updated camera capabilities, and a dynamic refresh rate, which adapts the screen refresh rate to whatever is on the screen.
The dynamic refresh rate can help the display quality when watching Netflix, Facebook-ing (even though that is slowly becoming a pariah in this highly virtual world but we don't want to talk about that now do we?) The display is the main thing that you will experience with the device, and it's important to have the quality that Samsung has planned with its S21 displays.
4800mAh Battery (the "oh the power phrase probably won't read well if I put it here..will it?)
6.7″ display
See Galaxy S21 specs posted above for the rest of the S21+ specs
We have the same general idea of specifications for the S21+ as there were for the base level S21. You can state that the S21+ is a larger version of the S21. You already knew that, that's not what you are here for.
5000 mAh Battery (powerful..all-powerful…the power!)
6.8″ 1440p 120Hz display
128 / 256 / 512 GB storage options
Snapdragon 888 (US) Exynos 2100 (everywhere else)
40MP Front Camera / 108 MP Main Camera/12MP Wide Angle, Dual 10MP telephoto Rear Camera combo
12GB or 16GB RAM
USB C charging (wireless charging capable)
S-Pen Compatible (uh…okay)
The S21 Ultra is the best of the best, the cream of the crop when it comes to the S21 options. No compensating factors here, nothing keeping you from greatness when it comes to this phone.
The price of the S20 ultra started at $1400, and the S21 Ultra, with a respectable upgrade of its specifications, is priced lower.
Since the S20 ultra was a bit questionable when it came to camera quality, you can decide on whether the camera is more improved versus last year, or if it's another half-done attempt at a high-end device.
Does Device Pricing Matter Anymore?
A huge blaring question that comes out of the Galaxy S21 announcement is whether Samsung opted for compensation over innovation with this year's phone launch.
I'd like to think that the decision to cut the price with the Galaxy S21 is more on the innovation front versus the compensation front. This was more of an effort to broaden the reach of the flagship offerings to more people across the world.
I've begun to think that pricing with phones has become less of a factor in 2021 than it has in years past. We always knew that the more money you spent on your smartphone upgrade, the better your upgrade. Budget smartphones were light years behind the flagship prices, and you saw people skipping car payments, rent, and medical bills to buy the latest iPhone or Android device on launch day.
While I still believe devices like the Galaxy Fold 2, the Galaxy Fold, and any Vertu device that I've ever seen in my lifetime are insanely priced; I don't know if we can look at prices as much in 2021 as we did in 2017, when the iPhone X broke our pocketbooks.
Note 10 — Photo by Mark Chan on Unsplash
The Samsung Galaxy S20, with its multiple iterations, was teetering towards overly expensive as well. A 200 dollar price drop is a welcome change that opens the company to a different demographic that might be looking for something a little more than the mid-range Galaxy A-Series devices.
Remember the days when we were appalled at the price of the iPhone X, and the Galaxy Note Series after the Galaxy Note 8? I remember those phones touching $1000 and the world screaming bloody murder. What a difference a few years makes.
I've had a history of complaining about electronics pricing. These days I have more reason to hold off on spending. Just about everything has cost more money in the middle of the pandemic, from toilet paper (quit hoarding toilet paper, yall) to gasoline, to the essentials that you need in your everyday life.
Personally, it has become difficult to find reasoning to splurge on items that I used to enjoy before the pandemic. Phones and other electronics being the main things I'd rather not spend money on.
My beliefs and difficulty in finding items to splurge on was a big reason as to why I had a slightly off reaction to the AirPods Max that launched in December. The headphones launched at $550, and they were expensive. Was I right in being angry about a pair of $550 headphones? Probably not, but here we are.
What is The Point of AirPods Max?
Why do these $550 Headphones Exist?
How can a company that has to have employees that were affected financially by the pandemic launch a device with a high price tag for the holidays? From what I've read, it appears that AirPods Max was well received at a launch. Never mind the price of the device, never mind people who are short on cash this year, there were still people who purchased the device.
So now we have the flipside of the coin. a series of devices that took a $200 price shave at launch for reasons including the current global pandemic. You'll likely see the device launch with a trade-in deal, with the Galaxy Tags, money towards accessories, or whatever being bundled in as a part of the launch package. Take a look at the launch page for the S21 below:
Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G | Samsung US
Epic in every way Introducing Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G. 1 The highest resolution photos and video on a smartphone. Galaxy's…
www.samsung.com
The decision to launch the S21 series of devices lower than the S20 makes me realize that price isn't always going to be a factor in flagship phones. There will be a market for people willing to spend thousands of dollars, and there's going to be a market for people who think it's crazy to spend thousands of dollars on phones.
Samsung's pricing change could also be a decision that could help change the pricing structure of flagship phones across the board as we move through 2021. The pricing change may help more manufacturers realizing the need for a greater range of capable devices in the Android spectrum.
With the prevalence of higher-priced phones and the equal prevalence of more capable budget devices like the Moto G series, the LG Stylo, and OnePlus Nord, there are more options for capable devices for more people across the economic spectrum.
We are now looking at a world with people who need to look at devices as an investment. But at that same token, the investment is going to be at different price points.
I think Samsung made a pretty decent decision making that $200 shave with the S21. They've made an effort to make flagship devices available to more people. Samsung's pricing decision seems innovative in its compensation.
Innovation?
The Galaxy S21 and S21+ aren't very innovative. Save for the dynamic refresh rate, the 120Hz displays, and the different capabilities of the camera, there is not much to write home about with the Galaxy S21.
In 2021, where we are looking at finances as a focus of our everyday lives, Samsung was innovative in pricing their 2021 flagship devices. The innovation is in realizing that the company wants to have more people owning their flagship devices. The company realized that more people have less money as we continue through 2021.
We will always know Apple to be premium devices, with premium prices. The addition of the iPhone 12 Mini, and the revamp of the iPhone SE, is Apple's way to appeal to those looking for a more affordable phone. Pricing the Galaxy S21 series of phones to put them closer to their more affordable options is Samsung's move to market to more people.
Would I buy the S21?
Would I buy the S21? The outer specifications would lead me to want to purchase the device, sure. The camera should be decent and the display refresh rate is decent as well. The specifications previously announced by Samsung for the price are quality.
Having a company decide to lower their MSRP on a device is admirable, having a more affordable device with flagship specs is innovative from a regular consumer perspective.
I am still on the fence as to whether I would upgrade this year, or wait until things begin to ease around the world and the economy. I have held on to my iPhone 7 Plus for almost 4 years, and I'm pleased that my phone has not died yet.
Should You Buy the S21?
The decision to buy the S21 is going to be up to you. Whether the price drop helps with your decision or not, buying this device is going to be up to you. Buying any device is going to be up to you.
Let me know if you buy an S21, I'd be interested in seeing what you think!
Samsung SmartThings is now available on Android Auto [Update] – 9to5Google
After announcing that a partnership with Google would bring Nest devices to SmartThings this year, Samsung is about to integrate with one of Google's platforms. Alongside the reveal of the Galaxy S21 series, Samsung has revealed that SmartThings is coming to Android Auto.
Soon, the SmartThings app for Android will feature support for Android Auto. Samsung hasn't confirmed exactly when this functionality is coming, only saying that the Galaxy S21 will be capable of running the feature.
Samsung explains that users will be able to "turn on your porch lights or even raise the temperature of your thermostat before you return home, all from your car."
The UI seen shows an app on Android Auto with a selection of automations such as "Coming home" and "Going out." This would allow a quick tap to perform actions such as turning on/off lights, opening/closing a garage door, or adjusting other devices. There's also a "locations" button on the interface, but we can't be sure what that does specifically just yet. It's also unclear if this SmartThings app will feature any integration with Google Assistant on Android Auto.
Update 1/18: Samsung's latest SmartThings update brings support for Android Auto. As noted by Joe Kester on Twitter, the update adds an Android Auto section to the app on your phone where you can customize what six tiles appear in the Android Auto UI.
The latest SmartThings update is now available on the Play Store and also adds support for the Galaxy SmartTag.

Global Pop Catalog
109: Notes on Camp
by hongkonggong, September 30, 2010.
"This American Life? Is that that show by those hipster know-it-alls who talk about how fascinating ordinary people are? Gawd!"
That piece of silly dialogue from TV (specifically the OC) just about sums up the This American Life radio show (1995-ongoing). Host and co-creator Ira Glass agrees; he responded to the reference weeks later with an emphatic "yes!"
Each episode of This American Life follows a theme, and attacks this theme from multiple angles in a series of acts. Some themes end up working better than others — take the week they did the Giant Pool of Money for example, a in-depth audio documentary on what brought on the financial recession of 2008, or Notes from Camp, a glimpse into the heads of those for who think camp* is the best time of their lives. Those were both excellent. On top of featuring interesting topics, each episode of This American Life is beautifully produced: narrated by a man with a permanent cold (his voice grows on you after a while), each story is packaged like a non-fiction fairy tale and each segue is meticulously crafted.
Yet the pretty packaging is also its downfall: Many find This American Life way too damn cute for its own good. Despite having won numerous awards in radio, including two Peabody's, the show continues to be stereotyped as an opiate to liberal, middle-upper class Americans. Yet it's a fair critique: The show is not out to provoke or shock (though it seems to have taken more of a social justice bent recently) and its personality is of a genteel observer passing by. Wherever its social merits lie however, few other shows give such an accessible and well-scripted look into other people's lives, be it through an edited interview, readout of a memoir or recordings from the field.
In this World Wide Pop post, I'm highlighting episode 109, Notes on Camp. In it, Glass & co. investigate the glorified idea of camp* and walk away with an answer… kind of. In typical This American Life fashion, the episode heavily features other people's voices, is interrupted only sparingly by staff narration and focuses on the lived experiences of camp participants. (No theories by social scientists are cited.) The topic is approached skeptically and with a heavy air of irony — one of the acts in the episode investigates why it is that people extreme such emotional highs at camp, and end up bawling in tears. Check it out. It's free.
* "Camp" in the US often refers to the summer camps that kids and teens get sent off to, joined by other kids and teens, to be supervised by college students and a light staff of adult administrators. Camps can be themed (e.g. drama) or cater to certain groups.
One particular snippet that serves as a great introduction is the made-for-TV collaboration between This American Life and Chris Ware:

RuPaul's DragCon 2017 changes for families — and to rebuke Trump
ByKevin O'Keeffe
RuPaul's DragCon, now in its third year, could easily have returned in 2017 relatively unchanged. The format, which sees drag queens and queer stars congregate for panels and meet-and-greets under the watchful eye of mother RuPaul, is an easy sell for fans of both RuPaul's Drag Race and drag in general. The third iteration already drew over double the amount of ticket sales over the previous year, as the founders of Drag Race production company World of Wonder Randy Barbato and Fenton Bailey told Mic.
But Barbato and Bailey weren't interested in turning out the same exact convention for a third year. They wanted to make changes in order to respond to what they saw in the past and better fit the mood of the moment. The latter objective, of course, means awareness of what it means to put on DragCon — and to simply put on drag — in Donald Trump's United States.
When DragCon kicks off Saturday in downtown Los Angeles, the city's convention center will be packed with fans, friends, local queens and Drag Race superstars for nearly 50 panels and events. The sessions will range from learning makeup tips to live versions of World of Wonder's web series. And, of course, Ru herself will cap the weekend with her keynote.
But looking closer at some of those sessions reveals the changes. For example, there's Saturday's "The Art of Resistance," which brings together season nine queen Sasha Velour, comedian Phoebe Robinson, music producer A. B. Soto and social media influencer Raymond Braun (as moderated by Latinos Who Lunch) to talk about art in the current political climate. Another panel, featuring three trans queens from Drag Race — Sonique, Gia Gunn and Jiggly Caliente — will host a discussion about being trans on social media and fending off trolls.
The most explicitly responsive, however, is Teen Vogue's "What Is Drag In Trump's America?" panel, featuring Drag Race winners Bob the Drag Queen and Alaska and season nine queen Eureka. Not coincidentally, both Bob and Alaska are among the most politically outspoken winners of Drag Race.
Other changes to DragCon were less motivated by November's election, and more by Barbato and Bailey's own circumstances. As parents, they said they had a "selfish" desire to make the convention more kid-friendly.
So DragCon 2017 will have a designated children's zone, as well as a panel just for young fans of the show called "Call Me Mother." Further amplifying the family focus: Sunday kicks off with a church service featuring season four queen Latrice Royale. It is titled, appropriately enough, "Can I Get an Amen?"
For the fan who isn't interested in politics and merely seeks a fandom-focused experience, there's plenty of that available. For example, season eight queens Kim Chi and Naomi Smalls will be performing their World of Wonder show "MUG" live for the first time, and Chi said in an interview she will sell much of her own merchandise, including her own makeup brand.
But just as drag is inherently political, DragCon is a political event. The convention is responding to the world around it and growing. Even just learning about applying makeup has a level of political power to it: In Trump's America, the very act of drag is an act of protest.
RuPaul's DragCon will take place Saturday and Sunday at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Videos from select panels will be available in the weeks after on World of Wonder's YouTube page.

The beach ended up not being an option as Port San Luis takes away their fire pits this time of year. Thankfully, our members Sharon and Katie opened up the home to us and hosting the bon fire. We had bean dip, cookies, and all sorts of goodies to go along with such a great night. Thank you Madelyn, the Dutchie, Emma, Nadia, Austin, Jared, Kyle, Michelle, Katie, Sharon, Rachel and Jake!


The 7 essential steps to decluttering and what you should not do.
Clutter…it's our society's nemesis. Everyone has their horror stories, relatives or friends' relatives that hoarded until it was a health hazard. And we've all seen at least one episode of Hoarders on HGTV. Scary stuff. But realistically, most of us have at least one area of our home that could do with a good decluttering session. Spring is the perfect time of year to tackle one or more decluttering projects.
So, let's take it step by step so it's not so frightening.
First of all, don't do your entire home, just do one small area to start. Then once you see how great it functions and looks you'll be all in to tackle a bigger space. I'd suggest an entry, closet or even a medicine cabinet**. If you are feeling totally overwhelmed then just set a time limit, like 15 minutes. Fifteen minutes will give you enough time to tackle a junk drawer, medicine cabinet or cupboard. Once you see how great it feels, you can move on to spaces that require more time, perhaps an hour to do a closet. For this exercise, I'm going to use an entry closet as an example.
Gather all your supplies first. You'll need 4-5 boxes, one each for Keep, Relocation (for those items that have a home somewhere else), Donation, Trash and Recycle. Then grab the vacuum and any other cleaning supplies that you may need.
Remove everything out of the closet and give it a good cleaning while its empty. You may want to even paint it, while you're at it or perhaps not.
So now you sort. Look at each item and decide where it's going or if it's going back in the closet. When I'm doing this I like to think about the last time I used or wore the item. If it's been forever, then let it go. It may help you to think of all the people that could use this item, so go ahead and donate it. One key to remember is once the boxes are filled and ready to go, bring them immediately to where they need to go. DO NOT let them linger in your home, that just defeats the purpose of the decluttering session. I put the garbage and recycling out immediately. Donation or giveaway items get put in my car right away, so that I drop them off the next time I'm out and about.
Once you've got done to the small keep pile, decide how you want to put it back into the closet. This is where you may need to purchase a few baskets or bins. But waiting till now, will make sure you only buy what you need. Pairs of gloves, hats and other small items stay organized in a basket. If you have many pairs of shoes and boots, perhaps a boot/shoe rack will be necessary and this often helps to decide exactly how many pairs are needed versus what we can store. Out of season clothing and footwear can potentially be stored in a guest room or basement closet.
Hooks or over the door racks are also great for adding usable space to a closet. Purses, scarves, shopping bags, leashes, etc. can be hung here for a quick getaway.
Keep it up. So now that it's all organized, remember that you may need to spend a few minutes each day putting things away. Don't let all that hard work decluttering go to waste.
** If you are decluttering a medicine cabinet, keep in mind that most drug stores will take back expired medications so that they don't end up in the landfill or water system.

As part of its ongoing efforts to build partnerships with postsecondary institutions, on April 17, the Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO) partnered with Lakehead University's Office of Aboriginal Initiatives to hold a Research Rendezvous at Lakehead's Thunder Bay Campus. The Research Rendezvous featured presentations from three MNO staff heavily involved in research in key areas of Education, Healing and Wellness and Métis Way of Life as well as a Métis Rights panel that included leading Métis lawyers and academics. "The relationship started in September between Lakehead University and the MNO with signing the Memorandum of Understanding,� stated MNO President Gary Lipinski, ?"Today's? research rendezvous and the panel on Métis rights are a step forward. Métis are beginning to take our rightful place in Canada."
The Métis Rights panel provided an overview of the current state of Métis law in Canada. On April 17, 1982 the Métis of Canada were officially recognized as a distinct group of Aboriginal peoples with the inclusion of Section 35 in the Constitution of Canada. Thirty years later, the Métis remain "forgotten people,'' says President Lipinski.
"One of the challenges Métis people have always had, going back to the days of Riel before Canada was Canada, is to have our rightful and proper place within Canada,� President Lipinski said Tuesday during an interview with The Chronicle-Journal.?"It's been a struggle for more than a century,� he said.
The Métis Rights panel included legal experts Jean Teillet and Jason Madden, as well as chair of Métis research at the University of Ottawa, Brenda Macdougall.
"The reason we wanted to get this out into the public and university community is to educate and have people more aware of our relationship with the Métis community,� said Beverly Sabourin, vice-provost with the Office of Aboriginal Initiatives.?"They are a distinct group and culture recognized in the Constitution and it is important to understand that,� said Sabourin.
President Lipinski said Métis people make up one-third of the Aboriginal population in Ontario. In recent Canadian history, there have been a couple of key moments for the Métis people, including repatriation of the Constitution of Canada in 1982 and the addition of Section 35 to identify the distinct groups of Aboriginal people in Canada as being Indian, Métis and Inuit.
"It confirmed what the Métis people have always said, that we are a distinct people,� President Lipinski said.
During the panel presentations, Madden provided a brief history of the Métis people in Canada.?Madden said it can be difficult identifying Métis genealogy because historical records were often incomplete.
Macdougall spoke on methodologies being developed to reconstruct genealogies of Métis communities in Canada.?"There are a lot of misconceptions that the Métis are simply a mixed-raced people, but really what we are looking at is definable communities of people,� she explained.
"We are not just looking at contemporary communities, but ones that have long histories that stretch back in this province, as well as Manitoba, Alberta and parts of the United States,� said Macdougall.
While the Métis people of Canada may still be misunderstood or even forgotten, President Lipinski said presentations like the one held Tuesday can help spark interest among the academic community and general public about past and current issues facing Métis people.
Macdougall said the addition of Section 35 to the Constitution of Canada was a significant moment for the Métis people, and she said things are continuing to change and the forgotten people are being recognized more often.

According to Family Caregiving Alliance, 29 percent of the U.S. adult population is providing care to someone who is ill, disabled or aged.
This number is expected to grow as the population of those 65+ will more than double between 2000 and 2030. Two new licensed Noah Homes memory care residential facilities will house 10 residents each and allow them to age-in-place. With the intent to become a national model, the new homes give access to state-of-the-art technology, national research, and opportunities for residents to participate in groundbreaking new techniques to fight Alzheimer's, dementia, and other aging struggles.
In working with Noah Homes, we have had the unique privilege of designing for a family of residents with disabilities, elevating the meaning of home to another level. Getting to know the residents, understanding how they live as a family and working with the amazing people who provide for them every day has been a honor for us in every way.


This is a transfer that makes sense on many levels.
Brendan Rodgers is keen on signing Daniel Sturridge on a Bosman transfer upon the expiration of the Liverpool striker's contract, reports the Daily Mail.
The English forward was sensational under Rodgers during the Northern Irishman's stint in charge at Anfield, especially during the 2013/14 campaign – in which Sturridge fired 24 goals in total.
But injuries have affected him in the years since and despite being only 29-years-old, is over the hill and barely gets an opportunity under Jurgen Klopp.
Sturridge started the season well, scoring a crucial goal v Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, you'll remember – but now – Divock Origi has climbed ahead of him in the pecking order.
Next term, we'll have Rhian Brewster fighting for minutes, as well as the potential option of a new attacker we'll buy this summer – so the smart choice for Sturridge is to move on.
Leicester have Jamie Vardy as their starter, but Sturridge would get more minutes at the King Power than he does for us.
If he fancies it, we'll wish him well. At his best, he was unplayable.

Young & Green - Alexander 'Alec' Young - 19 Aug 1989 by UONCC
Interview by Tracie Thornberry in 1989 with Alexander 'Alec' Young about the history of Young & Green car sales business (1919 -1989). Alec attended Newcastle Boys High School at Waratah, during the 1940s he started working for his father mostly serving petrol out of bowsers. Before General Motors Holden dealership was established Alec's father was selling cars imported from America, Marcus Clarke's were importing cars and Young & Green acted as agents for them. The family also started the first tourist bureau in Newcastle, this was located opposite Newcastle railway station, in the park behind Customs House. The businesses expanded during the 1970s and 80s selling Holden, Mitsubishi , Honda, Isuzu, Mazda and Nissan vehicles and had six showrooms, these were at Raymond Terrace, Maitland, Hamilton, Newcastle, Belmont and Toronto. When the University of Newcastle was established Alex enrolled and completed Economics (Honours) and recalls being student "twenty one". Aled was also involved in many community and business organisations, he was Chair of the Hunter Development Board and Hunter Research Foundation. He reflects on the changing structure of industry in Australia and the importance of being responsible in terms of the economy.

There are a ton of cool solar technologies out there or in development these days — solar bikinis, solar-powered 3D printers and cutters, peel & stick solar panels, solar paint, and solar shingles, for example.
But, while cool solar technologies are fun, it's hard to beat a solar vehicle race!
The World Solar Challenge is just that.
"To design and build a car capable of crossing Australia on the silent power of nature comprehends the most innovative research and development trends in alternative transport technologies," the website for the event states.
The World Solar Challenge is one the most prestigious events of its kind and attracts the world's best Technical Universities and Colleges.
In fact, many of the technologies used for this event will end up making their way into normal cars of tomorrow.
One team to keep an eye on is Japan's Tokai University.
The last time the team competed, it won. But it was using highly efficienct solar cells from Sharp that are not allowed this time around.
This time, the Tokai University team will be using Panasonic's HIT (heterojunction with intrinsic thin layer) solar cells.
The event is scheduled for October 16-23. Put it on your calendar! Hundreds of journalists and solar enthusiasts will be doing so.
Also, if you want to get updates about the event leading up to it, you can sign up for email updates on the World Solar Challenge website (I just did).
Me too. Looking forward to the race (and I'm not even much of a race guy).
The World Solar Challenge started way back in 1987. And it has very clearly become a notable world event.

We were very excited to hear this and to pack our gear to arrive at their wedding in Corsica.

The Aardvark's PLUMBLINE
Being an experiment in comparing our culture with what it HAS BEEN, and what it SHOULD BE.
Old Time Radio at OTRCat!
Painting with the broad brush.
Your Aardvark has Obeyed the Barns and Birdhouses, and has Seen Rock City. The Dread Dormomoo and he went to Chattanooga (apparently the only place where they can get awa' and have fun.) this weekend. We went with the Dalkhes, and had a spiffulous time (the spelcheker did not even try with "spiffulous".) squeezing through rocks looking for gnomes and deer, and marveling at the wonderful beauty at this VERY non-tourist-trap tourist destination. We even braved the Temple of Doom style rope bridge (the "Swing-Along Bridge"), 180 feet of acrophobic nightmare with a beautiful view, none of which himself appreciated, being fixated on the back of the head of the guy ahead. Sorry, no personal pictures.
Overall, the place is one of breathtaking splendor. It earns the Aardvark's Touron Seal of Approval.
Friday night upon arriving, we made arrangements to meet the Dalkhes at Portofino's, a classic Greek-run Italian restaurant. Their Alfredo is worth the trip, even from Schenectady.
We ate at the City Diner Cafe, natch, and also the Teriyaki House on Ringgold Road (whose white sauce is legendary!) It is in an old Pizza Hut building, so the gag writes itself. It is not a Japanese Happy MealTM Benihana knockoff. The food is prepared in the kitchen, and comes out as a delightful surprise. Himself had Hibachi Steak and Shrimp, the DD having Hibachi Steak. Om nom noms abounded! Breakfast Saturday was at the Diner, Aardvark: Eggs Benedict and Grits (only in the South! PLUS the Hollandaise was outstanding.)) DD: Eggs, Bacon, Homefries. Breakfast Sunday, Aardvark: French Dip Sandwich and Fries (It was 11:30 AM, K?) of which only half was eaten, and your Aardvark retired, beaten. It resides in the fridge, beckoning....The DD had The usual, but with grits.
Dr. Who was on telly after Teriyaki house, and afforded the opportunity to see last week's premiere, AND the new episode this week. It appears to be breaking the Matt Smith mode of "Whose life does the Doctor screw up this week?".
A good time was had by all, and the drive home was full of chatter. One thing that came up was the Dread Dormomoo's feeling of being cheated if she reads a novel which has no Import, no Great Theme, whereupon the 'Vark coined the term "Zombie Novel", that which has action but no soul. Endless spy thriller series seem to fall in that mode, as do most of the pulp novels that have passed before his 'Varky optics.
As tedious as the novels one is assigned in school can be, they have a point, a moral if you will, that which one may take away after the read without feeling it a total waste of time. Silas Marner details the evils of greed, and the Need to Have Others in one's life. The Scarlet Letter examines sin and guilt in the context of Puritan morality, and shows how the most moral among us may be caught in the web (among manifold other lessons). Tom Clancy's doorstops open the door onto the fell vistas of international politics, military might, and spies, with personal heroism normally tilting the scales..

This was essentially a non-spoken challenge. The guy in front of me was the husband of the family that we went with. He has...issues with heights. I wished to see the bridge, but he stepped out onto it. The D.D. and the others were behind me. What was there to do otherwise? There were two moments where I thought I would seize up and not move another centimeter. One of those was when someone behind us jumped a little and made the bridge undulate. I was really quite alarmed.
"Matt Helm and Fu Manchu, on the other hand...."
Well, so much for the Michael Wolff Book-of-the-Month Club.
Michael, there is a time for meat-and-potatoes. There is also a time for Milky Ways and chewing gum. One may not derive much nourishment from the latter group, but they are enjoyable nonetheless.
I must admit that I have never been able to get into the Fu Manchu series. The school secretary at Porter Gaud tried to get me into them as I recall (she was also a cousin to Whit Bissell!). I HAVE tried!
"I must admit that I have never been able to get into the Fu Manchu series."
Rohmer is something of an acquired taste. I tell you what, though, if you really want to hack your way through a literary jungle, try Peake's "Gormenghast" series.
Turgid prose, eh? I shall have to.
What did you think of the TV treatment?
To be honest, I felt the television treatment was nicely cast, but it lacked the all-conquering oppressive feel of the books. The predominant colora should've been black and grey all over.
Remember the Frank Zappa song "The Torture Never Stops"? The line about how the walls of the ancient dungeon sweat big greenish drops? That's the sort of feel the Gormenghast television adaptation should've aimed for.
Rather like the DREADFUL Disney treatment of "A Wrinkle in Time". Camazotz had COLOR. It should have been greyscale. IT's puppet came across with a Prof. Harold Hill vibe. Too much color all around.
Oh God, don't get me started on that adaptation of "A Wrinkle in Time". That should've been a genre triumph. Instead it came out wrong, wrong . . . all wrong.
Rather like that wretched 1988 adaptation of Asimov's "Nightfall".
I was especially unhappy with the bargain-basement Nathan Lane wannabe "dragging" his way through the "Happy Medium" role.
I ALWAYS wanted Billy Mumy as Charles Wallace.
I do not recall the "Nightfall" adaptation. Perhaps it is a mercy, then.
Here was my take on "Wrinkle:
http://aardvarksplumbline.blogspot.com/2004/05/hey-all-you-end-timers-trying-to.html
But Michael, one BRIGHT spot in "Nightfall": Alexis Kanner!
He was the "Hippie" No.48 in the Prisoner finale.
Dem bones, dem bones....
You know how I prove to people just how bad "Nightfall" was?
It doesn't even have a Wikipedia entry.

Luxury sector will be worth £51bn by 2019
3 September 2015 By Luke Todd
The UK luxury sector, including designer apparel and footwear, is expected to be worth more than £51bn by 2019, the latest figures have revealed.
The sector contributed £32.2bn to the economy in 2013, 2.2% of GDP, according to a study by international consultancy Frontier Economics for Walpole, the industry alliance whose members including Burberry, Alexander McQueen and Harrods, and law firm Charles Russell Speechlys.
Luxury businesses are set to employ 158,000 people within the next four years, up from 113,000 in 2013, and grow in value by 60%. This is despite fears of a slowdown among big Chinese spenders and the devaluation of the yuan in August.
British luxury products are largely export-oriented, with 78% of production, in value terms, intended for overseas markets.
Year-on-year export growth in 2013 was around 12.1% and accounted for around 4.3% of total UK merchandise exports.
Minister of state for culture and the digital economy Ed Vaizey said: "The UK luxury goods sector is hugely successful; it boosts Britain's exports, is a creator of jobs and apprenticeships, and a major contributor to the economy."
However, Edward Craig, head of the retail and leisure group at Charles Russell Speechlys, warned UK businesses risk losing market share because of threats ranging from Chinese counterfeiters to the inability to secure visas for skilled migrant workers.
"For the growth forecasted in this report to materialise, companies must assertively protect their intellectual property, commercial and digital rights around the world, and they must continue to access and export to global markets," he said.
"Visas and digital governance issues will become more important. Our luxury sector is the jewel in the crown of UK industry, and it is important that the right policies and legislation are in place to foster their continued growth."

My husband has branched out and got a few film cameras that we are having so much fun with. He posted a few if want to see more. Anyhoo, miss you all and hope to be visiting soon. My first post op is tomorrow. Hoping to hear that I can drive again.

Thomas Hunt Morgan
Throughout the span of time there have been many great scientists. Thomas hunt has stood out through his practice and was one of the scientists to help create the chromosome theory of heredity. Morgan was in school for the majority of his life either as a student or as a professor. He also helped the world understand more about genetics in a very proactive way.
Thomas Hunt Morgan was born on September 25, 1866 in Lexington, Kentucky. He died on December 4, 1945 in Pasadena, California at age 79. He loved to find and look at organisms he found in the countryside when he was younger. Morgan is famous for creating the chromosome theory of heredity. Before the theory the world knew about Darwin and the evolution of animal species, Mendel and

Thomas Hunt Morgan born September 25 1866 in Lexington, Kentucky was an American geneticist, among other things such as an evolutionary biologist and embryologist. Born to Charlton Hunt Morgan and Ellen Key Howard Morgan. Even as a child, Morgan was interested in natural history, he was often found outside observing, exploring and collecting objects in the wild as well as fossils. Morgan died in December 4, 1945. At an early age of 16, Morgan attended the State College of Kentucky in the Preparatory

Thomas won this award for his discoveries concerning the role played by the chromosomes in heredity. His lab constructed the first genetic maps of chromosomes. He was educated at the University of Kentucky, where he took his B.S. degree in 1886, subsequently doing postgraduate work at Johns Hopkins University, where he

When one thinks of Drosophila melanogaster, one should think of Thomas Hunt Morgan, a Noble Prize winner for discoveries regarding the chromosome and a recipient of the Darwin Medal. Morgan was born in Lexington, Kentucky on September 25th, 1866 and was the eldest son of his family. He attended the University of Kentucky, attaining a B.S. degree in 1886, and continued onto John Hopkins University where he studied morphology, a branch of biology dealing with the structure of plants animals (University

developmental study. (Maienschein, 458) Thomas Hunt Morgan advocated the internalist developmental search for a theory of sex determination and production. In 1903 he concluded that both male and females "elements" exist in all kind of eggs and they are not predetermined as being either male or female. However his evidence remained inconclusive as to whether the nucleus or cytoplasm provided the determining influence on sex. (Maienschein, 467) Morgan acknowledge that there were two types of sex

By isolating mutant flies and performing test crosses he was able to determine that genes were in fact located on chromosomes and therefore, create a deeper understanding of heredity. In 1910 he discovered a white-eyed variant that became the fuel behind the new field of genetics. Throughout the following years, Morgan and his contemporaries
The Case Against Perfection By Michael Sandel
In Michael Sandel's essay, The Case Against Perfection, he starts by wondering if genetic engineering is moral. He used Dolly the cloned sheep as an example of bioengineering that could be used on humans in the future. He then compares it to designer children, children whose parents choice their genes for them, and points out that similar arguments that can be made against both of them. Sandel talks about why we have a problem with medical and genetic enhancements, using examples. The first is
The Fruit Fly By Drosophila Melanogaster
Drosophila melanogaster, often referred to as the fruit fly, is an interesting and dynamic insect that provides humanity with important information in the study of genetics. The biological community is extremely devoted to acquiring more information about the genetic process in order to improve the health and existence of humans. The fruit fly may seem like an insignificant specimen; however, it has a surprising number of parallels to the human genome. Humans have 46 chromosomes in which 23 are

For years I thought Joxer Daly was just a good name for a pub on the north side of Dublin.
Having always shied away from Sean O'Casey plays because of the dark period in our history which they portray, it was with some trepidation I went to see the Irish Rep's renditon of Juno and the Paycock last week. As I suspected, it was Chekhovian in its mostly dark and hopeless themes, but I was delighted to discover that at least O'Casey had the good sense to intersperse humor into his work.
building in 1920's Dublin. First produced there in 1924, the play sees the civil war raging outside its walls while rebellion and anarchy rage within. Juno (J. Smith-Cameron), the epitome of the long suffering Irish matriarch, stoically holds a very fragile bundle of loosely tied egos together in the form of the Boyle family – the Captain, Jack, (Ciarán O'Reilly) and their two grown children, Mary (Mary Mallen) and Johnny (Ed Malone).
Charlotte Moore directs a wonderfully visual feast – the dark gray and black hues that dominate the set and costumes in the opening scenes, clearly set the tone for the themes ahead, and when the Boyles' luck changes for the better, opulence abounds, as if the color contrast is switched from one end of the dial to the other, as the stage bursts into reds and golds.
and that was only to Liverpool.
and her working class Dublin accent, though a little off in the first scene, was pitch perfect for the rest of the play.
Both John Keating's (Joxer Daly) and Malone's very physical acting brings their characters to life without much need for words – their eyes and body movements do most of the work for them. Malone, whom I saw a few years ago in Three Irish Widows vs. The Rest of the World, studied mime in Paris (ooh la la!) – so that explains that. Keating, playing the ne'er do well wingman and enabler to the Captain, also appeared in The Weir at this theater and was watch worthy in that too.
His often repeated, 'darlin'', used in verb form, is in itself worth spending the money on a ticket for this show. And delightfully, he repeats it umpteen times.
Plenty of cups of 'teh' were consumed on the stage, perhaps to keep warm in the tenement house, though in spite of having a cup in my own hand for much of the show, warmth was not forthcoming in the too cold theater space.


Strawberry is well washed, detach the stems. Berries put in a blender, chop. Lemons are well washed, then squeeze juice. Mix lemon juice with sugar and water and stir well.
Then put the mixture on the fire. Cook over medium heat until the sugar completely dissolves. Then remove from heat, mix with strawberry puree. Allow the mixture to cool completely and refrigerate.

Alfred Hermida Wins National Business Book Award
National Business Book Award
Tell Everyone recognized as the most outstanding Canadian business-related book
TORONTO, April 16, 2015 /CNW/ - Alfred Hermida has been named the winner of the National Business Book Award for his book, Tell Everyone: Why We Share and Why it Matters, published by Doubleday Canada, an imprint of Penguin Random House. The announcement was made at a luncheon today in Toronto, hosted by co-sponsors PwC and BMO Financial Group.
Celebrating its 30th anniversary, the National Business Book Award has come to be recognized as one of Canada's most prestigious literary awards.
Tell Everyone is about our urge to share information and be social, and how this is enhanced and extended by a new range of technologies. Alfred Hermida analyzes the way we frame and share news and information using social media, proving that what we're doing is something inherently human, though in new ways and in a new space.
Drawing on historical examples, real-world experiences and leading research, Hermida equips readers with the knowledge and insight to successfully navigate the social streams of information that shape how people view the world. According to Hermida, no one is immune to the impact of new media, whether they consider themselves an active social media user or not. Every day 500 million messages are sent on Twitter and 800 million people share four billion stories, links, photographs and videos on Facebook.
In Hermida's view, while journalists used to be the official channel to distribute information with a certain level of trust, editorial decisions are being transferred to friends and family via social media. Hermida believes that in this new world of media and information, we as individuals need some of the skills that journalists have been trained with, to sort through the information.
"Social media and the ways in which people communicate with one another are evolving at an incredible rate," says Tahir Ayub, Managing Partner, Markets and Industries at PwC Canada. "Understanding new media and its impact on the world, namely your customers and how they interact with each other and your brand, is critical to business leaders making informed decisions."
"We are very proud to be involved in supporting and honouring Canadian business writers," said Lily Capriotti, Chief Learning Officer, BMO Financial Group. "These finalists have a variety of backgrounds and perspectives, helping keep an important pulse on issues influencing the business world."
Alfred Hermida is an associate professor at the Graduate School of Journalism at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. He is a former BBC television, radio and online journalist, and was a founding news editor of the BBC News website in 1997. Through his research at UBC, and his earlier work at the BBC, he has built an international reputation as an authority on new media, with his work appearing in Journal of Broadcasting and Electronic Media, Journalism Practice and Journalism Studies. He has also contributed to The Globe and Mail, The Wall Street Journal, The Times of London and NPR.
The short list for this year's National Business Book Award included:
Jacques Poitras, Irving vs. Irving: Canada's Feuding Billionaires And The Stories They Won't Tell, published by Viking Canada, an imprint of Penguin Random House.
Clive Veroni, Spin: How Politics has the Power to Turn Marketing on its Head, published by House of Anansi Press Inc.

The Faith at Work Movement started in the 1980s to address the needs of Christians who felt like their life was being segmented between their work and faith (Miller, 2003). As Christians have been searching for meaning at work, they have accepted servant leadership as the ideal form of leadership because it has been taught as the leadership of Jesus (Niewold, 2007). In this paper, an ideological exegesis of Luke 9:57-62 reveals that the true leadership of Jesus does not fit into the construct of servant leadership. As a result of the ideological exegesis, this paper proposes a new theory of leadership needs to be developed for Christian leaders in secular organizations that could serve as a guide for Christian practitioners and advance the scholarly field of Christian leadership.

Survey ranks Apple as #1 wearables maker
Christian Zibreg on May 5, 2017
In a report issued Thursday market research firm Strategy Analytics said that Apple has overtaken Fitbit to become the world's leading vendor of devices worn on one's body, capturing sixteen percent of the global market for wearables in the March quarter.
Apple sold an estimated 3.5 million watches during the three-month period ending in March, a 59 percent increase over the 2.2 million Apple Watch units sold in the year-ago quarter.
According to Strategy Analytics data, rival Fitbit shipped 2.9 million units in March, marking a significant 36 percent drop from the 4.5 million Fitbits shipped in the year-ago quarter.
Strategy Analytics stated:
Fitbit has lost its wearables leadership to Apple, due to slowing demand for its fitnessbands and a late entry to the emerging smartwatch market.
Fitbit's shipments, revenue, pricing and profit are all shrinking at the moment and they have a major fight on their hands to recover this year.
The new Apple Watch Series 2 is selling "relatively well" in the US, UK and elsewhere, due to "enhanced styling, intensive marketing and a good retail presence," said the research firm.
Subscribe to iDownloadBlog on YouTube
Chinese startup Xiaomi shipped 3.4 million wearable units, good for a cool fifteen percent marketshare worldwide. Demand for Xiaomi's popular Mi Band fitness range was broadly flat across its core markets of Asia.
Fitbit thus far has mostly focused on fitness bands and related accessories.
That could change soon as the company is expected to add smartwatches to its portfolio. However, if an image leaked earlier this week (above) is anything to go by, Fitbit's upcoming smartwatch slated for release this fall won't win any beauty contest.
Fitbit also plans on releasing a pair of Bluetooth earbuds, codenamed "Parkside" internally, alongside the smartwatch, according to two of Yahoo Finance's sources. A photo of the upcoming $150 earbuds (below) was leaked to Yahoo Finance earlier this week.
Last December, Fitibit acquired software assets of the struggling smartwatch maker Pebble for a mere $40 million. Following the acquisition, Fitbit put the last nail in Pebble's coffin by cancelling all new hardware that Pebble had in the pipeline.
Global wearables shipments reached 22 million units during the March quarter, marking a 21 percent increase year-over-year from 18.2 million in the year-ago quarter. Stronger demand for new smartwatch models in North America, Western Europe and Asia drove the uptick, said Strategy Analytics.

Q: Replace Pythons builtin type with custom one Is it possible to replace some built-in python types with custom ones?
I want to create something like:
class MyInt(object):
   ...
__builtin__.int = MyInt
x = 5

A: You seem to be asking if it's possible to override the type that is created when you enter literals.  The answer is no.  You cannot make it so that x = 5 uses a type other than the built-in int type.
You can override __builtin__.int, but that will only affect explicit use of the name int, e.g., when you do int("5").  There's little point to doing this; it's better to just use your regular class and do MyInt("5").
More importantly, you can provide operator overloading on your classes so that, for instance, MyInt(5) + 5 works and returns another MyInt.  You'd do this by writing an  __add__ method for your MyInt class (along with __sub__ for subtraction, etc.).

A: I don't know about replacing the built-ins, but you can certainly create an object that inherits from them, and/or behaves like them. Look up something like inherit from immutable and you should find answers that show overriding of __new__, or for the latter option see 'Emulating Numeric Types'

A: Since you want to write a Pythonesque DSL, you have two options:

*

*Compile the code to an AST and walk the AST replacing nodes as appropriate.

*Build your own AST by hand.

Once you have the AST you can go ahead and execute it directly. In either case, look at Python's Language Services for generation and manipulation of the AST.

We would expect more political savvy from an eight year old.
Chase was the subject of controversy for blogging that she wanted to make Free State followers uncomfortable or encourage them to leave New Hampshire: "One way is to pass measures that will restrict the 'freedoms' that they think they will find here. Another is to shine the bright light of publicity on who they are and why they are coming," she wrote, in part, at Bluestate.org.
While Chase's threat to anyone's freedoms has no place in the conversation, her motivation is shared by many who see the Free State Project as wanting to co-opt the political process under cover of the Republican Party rather than marching behind the libertarian flag which more rightly represents their belief in "leave us all alone" government.
Some in the Free State Project seemed to understand our motivation and our point.
Anyone who thinks the Free Stater movement was helped by November's election results is in denial. It was very much the "our way or the highway" attitude supported by too many Free Staters which helped put or keep the N.H. House, the governor's office and, arguably, our congressional seats in the hands of nanny state government under the Democrats — something we had thought anathema to the FSP.
