Big Things

We all have a list of big things we’d like to see before we die. Here are a few of mine, in no particular order:

1. The Hagia Sophia. When I took AP Art History in high school, this was the building I fell in love with. The Hagia Sophia has been both a basilica and a mosque, but I want to see it for its clerestory, a window-lined wall that rises above the roofline of the surrounding walls. The Hagia Sophia’s clerestory is just below its dome, and they say that at certain times of day, when the light’s shooting through those windows at just the right angle, the dome looks like it’s hovering on a cloud of light. I’d like to see what a cloud of light looks like.

2. Italy, any or all of it. I’m not picky.

3. New York City. I’ve had a fascination with this city for a long time, even before I started trying to publish a book:) When Honey Bear got to go there on a mock trial trip before we were married, I was supremely jealous. (He was kind enough to bring me back a New York City T-shirt, though, which I still wear proudly.)

4. The Grand Canyon. I live, like, an hour away from the North Rim (if I don't mind taking a four-wheeler up and over a mountain on a gravelly trail), but I’ve still never been there. Maybe when I-gots is a little older, we’ll have to make the trip (though I think I’d prefer going the long way around in a car).

5. Angel Falls. Have you seen that shot in the BBC’s Planet Earth, when the camera sweeps over the top of Angel Falls and down the drop-off? It’s not the world’s tallest waterfall for nothing.

6. Ireland. (See the comments.)

7. An erupting volcano. I'd prefer not to be in the path of the erupting volcano, but hey, if I ever am, at least I'll be able to check another thing off my list. Gotta look on the bright side, right?

8. The Mississippi River, 'cause it's huge. Have you seen how huge it is? Out here in the West, our rivers come in medium, small, and so small a three-year-old can hop across them.

And here are a couple of big things I’ve already seen:

1. Yellowstone. I’ve even stood thirty feet down a boardwalk from a wild buffalo. A herd happened to come through the patch of mud pots we happened to be looking at, and when I broke through a knot of people, well, there it was. My little sister was with me, so I muttered to her, “Let’s just put our heads down and back away slowly.” If a park ranger had been there, he or she probably would have had a fit.

2. The Alamo, which is actually much smaller than it looks. I lived in San Antonio for about a year as a kid, and we visited the Alamo several times. My dad is something of a war history buff.

I might come back and add to this list over the next few days or weeks, but for now, I’ll just turn the question back around to you. What big things would you like to see before you die, and which ones have you already seen?

Lindsay said...

Would like to see:
-The Moors
-The pyramids
-The Nile
-The Dead Sea
Also Hogwarts and a parallel universe.

Have seen:
-Ireland (Dursey Island FTW!)
-The Scottish Highlands (*worth it*)
-The Hogwarts train (actually near Ft. William, Scotland)
-The deep sea (dove to 120 feet [frighteningly colorless])
-A reef in Puerto Rico

Karen Amanda Hooper said...

You've got some great ones on that list!

A memorable one for me was seeing the volcano erupting in Hilo, Hawaii. I watched a sunrise and sunset there. :)

On my list is to watch a sunrise from Cadillac Mountain in Maine--in the fall when all the leaves are pretty and colorful.

Ben Spendlove said...

Uluru (Ayers Rock)
The Great Barrier Reef
The Twelve Apostles

Notice they're all in Australia? I spent two years there and didn't get to see any of these things. I did see:
All kinds of beautiful birds
Downtown Melbourne
Nothing at all (meaning places where there is not a hill nor tree in sight, only dirt and a road)
The sky, which day or night, just isn't the same as it is here.
Not really "big things", but amazing nonetheless.

Krista V. said...

Lindsay, I should add Ireland to my list (of things I'd like to see). I have this little daydream of sitting on a hill somewhere in Ireland, with the green farmland spread out around me and maybe a flock of sheep grazing nearby, listening to "Danny Boy" on an iPod. (Well, I'd prefer "Danny Boy" to just be ringing through the trees, surround-sound-like, but I think the iPod's a little more realistic:) )

Karen, I almost put "Watching a volcano erupt" on my list of things I'd like to see! How funny that you've already seen that and Lindsay's already been to Ireland.

Ben, what are the Twelve Apostles? Is that a rock formation of some kind? Also, stay tuned for tomorrow's post, which will be entitled "Little Things" ...

KarenG said...

Love NYC, and I'm with you on Ireland and Italy. Also London. Great list!

lotusgirl said...

I've been lots of places, but I still haven't been to Ireland and would love to go. My hubby's not the least bit interested either. Maybe I should go with you. Italy is also on my list. I've been through parts but never Rome or Venice or Pompeii.

Carol Riggs said...

Ireland, Scotland, Wales. Italy would be fun too! Altho I'm more about getting a book published than going to a location, as far as my bucket list. LOL

Hey, while playing blogger award tag, I awarded you a LOVELY BLOG AWARD on my blog! Come fetch the image to post it on your site:

artzicarol ramblings

Krista V. said...

KarenG, I'd love to go to London, too.

Lotusgirl, sounds like a date:)

Carol, thanks for the award! And maybe I should add "A book with my name on it" to the list:)

Myrna Foster said...

The British Isles, especially Ireland
The Great Wall of China
New Zealand
A contract from a major publishing house

I have seen:
An erupting volcano in Hawaii, but I preferred the critters in the ocean and swinging on the vines
Parts of Mexico, Holland, Switzerland, Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, and Canada
Niagra Falls
The Grand Canyon
The Valley of Fire
Old Faithful
Tillamook Cheese Factory
Pier 49
Pike's Peak

Liesl said...

I've done a lot on your wishlist but would still love to do:

1. Harry Potter Land
2. Switzterland, France, Italy, England
3. Run a marathon

That's it. I know there's plenty to do in this world but I'm kind of lame and would often rather read a book.

Ben Spendlove said...

The Twelve Apostles are big rocks named by someone who couldn't count:

Esther Vanderlaan said...

I would like to see:
-Pyramids and The Spinx
-The Taj Mahal

Have seen:
-The Great Wall of China (I walked on it many times!!!)
-Niagara Falls
-The Forbidden City
-Hawaii (I hope that counts! It should, because I saw the Pearl Harbor Museum :))

Great Post! You should post posts like this more often! :)

Esther Vanderlaan said...

Thought of some more places/things I would like to see:
-The Terracotta Warriors
-The Nile River
-I would absolutely love to get a book published (If that counts on the list)
-The Statue of Liberty
-Disney World or Disney Land
-The Dead Sea

I went to Inner Mongolia!
I also went to California.

OK, I have to write down some of things my Mom has seen and/or visited:
-The Alamo
-The Great Barrier Reef (She SWAM in it!!!)
-Played with dolphins
-The pyramids and The Spinx
-Niagara Falls
-The Great Wall of China
-The Forbidden City
-Inner Mongolia

She was a real traveler!

Krista V. said...

Myrna, when you decide to visit Istanbul, let me know so I can ride along and see my Hagia Sophia.

Liesl, as much as I like to run, the thought of a marathon terrifies me.

Ben, thanks for the info. That beach is BEAUTIFUL. I'd like to spend a day there frolicking in the waves. Then the next day, I'd leave the kids back at the hotel with the hubby and come back with a laptop so I could just soak up the inspiration:)

Esther, looks like you beat me to the Great Wall of China and the Forbidden City. Also, your mom sounds like quite the world traveler.

Abby Minard said...

This is fun!
Things I would love to see:
Hawaii- just any of it would be fine
Athens, Greece
The Sphinx and Pyramids
The Dead Sea (and the caves in which the Dead Sea Scrolls were found)

Things I've seen:
London and Stonehenge
Rome, Sistine Chapel, Vatican
Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island
The Eifel Tower
Niagara Falls
Grand Canyon and Yellowstone
Boston in the Fall

Thanks for letting us brag about where we've been, lol.

Lora said...

@lindsay- I would also absolutely love to see Hogwarts (especially the Room of Requirement) as well as a parallel universe. Sadly, the closest I'll ever get to that is in Harry Potter role play. Ah, well...

Anyway, here goes the list:

Things I've seen:

The Alhambra
St. Petersberg - the Hermitage
The Panama Canal
The Notre Dame Cathedral

Things I'd love to see:

The Grand Canyon
The Pyramids
Niagara Falls
The Louvre

Sharon K. Mayhew said...

I really want to go to Havasu Falls! Let me rephrase that....I desperately want to go there...It looks so peaceful and beautiful!

Krista V. said...

Abby, awesome lists. Boston in the fall must be lovely. But then, I'd take Boston any time of year:) (Except maybe winter. I'm not a huge fan of snow...)

Lora, you're right - I think we'd all like to live a semester (or two or three) at Hogwarts. I'd like to see the Louvre, too, although I'm pretty sure it'd take me a few days to get through the place. Wonder if they rent rooms for the night... :)

All right, Sharon, I admit it - I had to Google Havasu Falls (although it sounded awfully familiar). And it was awfully familiar! One of my little brothers-in-law (okay, so he's actually got me by almost a foot height-wise, but I've still got him by six or seven years) hiked Havasupai with his Scout group, but there was a forest fire that year, so they had to evacuate. He was literally driving through a burning forest to escape. (I think that was the Havasupai trip, anyway.)

lodjohnson said...

Places I've been:
All over Europe (except Spain and Portugal)
Mexico, Canada, Caribbean - all over the US.

May I recommend Nova Scotia in the early fall - gorgeous!

Places I want to see:
Great Wall of China
Figi (those little huts over the water "Sigh"
New Zealand (want to take the LOTR tour)

Krista V. said...

Lodjohnson, great lists. I'd like to take the LOTR tour in New Zealand, too.

Myrna Foster said...

Yes, that would be a great deal of fun.

NanoPaste Syringe 2.5ml [PAS2.5] (376347) - Miscellaneous |

Find produkt

NanoPaste Syringe 2.5ml [PAS2.5]

The addition of osteoconductive bioceramic hydroxyapatite to an orthopaedic site can significantly decrease healing times. NanoPaste is available as two presentations. This is the 2.5ml NanoPaste - The sterile presentation is an aqueous paste supplied in a syringe (2.5ml or 5.0ml). The paste may be injected directly into a defect where it conforms to fill the space. The paste is readily colonised by bone cells and acts as a scaffold encouraging penetration of host bone.

NanoPaste Syringe 2.5ml [PAS2.5]

The putty-like consistency means that the paste may be pressed onto bone where it sticks until resorbed. NanoPaste is very similar to Ostim which has an established clinical record.Applications include: joint arthrodesis, TTA, non unions, delayed unions and filling spine cages.

Archaeological collections

The archaeological depository of MAE is the oldest and one of the largest in Russia. It contains vast and unique materials related to prehistoric cultures of Eurasia and other continents and spanning the periods from the Lower Paleolithic (500 thousand years ago) to the Middle Ages (AD 1000–1200).

The first stage in the accumulation of the museum’s archaeological materials was rather long: from the establishment of the Kunstkamera (1714) to the emergence of MAE on the basis of its collections (1879). An important part during that period was played by the Imperial Russian Archaeological Society, the Imperial Russian Geographical Society as well as by L.I. Schrenk, P.V. Alabin and A.S. Uvarov, who donated their collections to MAE. The contribution made by Academician Karl von Baer was enormous.

The second stage in the accretion of archaeological collections spans the period between the foundation of MAE and the establishment of the Department of Archaeology within it (1879–94). The time was marked by the acquisition of antiquities from remote regions of Russia such as Siberia (I.T. Savenkov) and Sakhalin (I.S. Polyakov).

The third stage coincided with the turn of the century and the final pre-revolutionary years (1894–1917). During that time, the Department gained an organizational status within MAE and a goal-oriented enrichment of its collections went on.

The period between 1917 and 1970 was the most productive since the influx of archaeological finds from expeditions working all over the USSR was especially intense.

Today, the archaeological depositories of MAE contain over one thousand collections comprising nearly 600 thousand specimens.

Number of collections

Number of specimens

Bronze and Iron Ages

Stone Age materials are especially numerous. In terms of their abundance, the archaeological depository of the Kunstkamera ranks first among the museums of Russia and CIS, and one of the first among world museums.

Based on finds from many key sites, sections were opened such as Prehistory of Russia and CIS, Lower Paleolithic, and Upper Paleolithic. That of the Lower Paleolithic includes finds from Teshik-Tash, Sukhaya Mechetka and other sites in the Crimea, the Caucasus, and Western Central Asia. The Upper Paleolithic section comprises collections from world-famous sites on the Russian Plain (Tel’manskaya, Kostenki-1, 2, 3, 4, 14, and 15, Gagarino, Eliseyevichi, and Yudinovo) and in Siberia (Afontova Gora, Mal’ta, and Kokorevo). These places have yielded numerous first-rate works of early art. Suffice it to mention an amazing series of female figurines, a large group of animal figurines made of ivory and chalk, ivory plates, and ivories decorated with geometric patterns and zoomorphous images. Importantly, the number of Upper Paleolithic female figurines made of ivory and chalk is ten. This is an impressive set, given that the total number of such specimens excavated in Russia is about sixty, and Western European museums own no more than a dozen similar images

Highly important collections come from Mesolithic and Neolithic sites in northwestern Russia and Siberia. One of the best known is Oleneostrovskii burial ground on Yuzhnyi Olenii Island, Lake Onega, the richest and the most unique among the synchronous sites in Northeastern Europe, one that contained the largest number of prehistoric works of art.

The department possesses materials from chronologically diverse sites of Tripolye – an original Chalcolithic culture (4000–2000 BC). Tripolye people were agriculturalists and animal breeders, and among the finds from their sites in the Dnestr basin (Luka-Vrublevetskaya, Rakovets, Kudrintsy, Darabani) are a beautiful pottery decorated with incised and painted patterns, and numerous anthropomorphous and zoomorphous clay figurines of Tripolye type.

The archaeological collections of the Kunstkamera were formed through the efforts of several generations of prominent Russian researchers such as I.S. Polyakov, I.T. Savenkov, K.S. Merezhkovskii, B.E. Petrie, P.P. Efimenko, G.A. Bonch-Osmolovskii, V.A. Gorodtsov, V.I. Ravdonikas, A.P. Okladnikov, V.N. Chernetsov, A.V. Schmidt, S.N. Zamyatnin, S.N. Bibikov, P.I. Boriskovskii, N.N. Gurina, A.N. Rogachev, V.V. Fedorov, etc.

The Department owns numerous documents and archives of photographs (more than 1,500 items).

Archaeological collections of MAE are described in several publications some of which are catalogues:

  • Nechaeva L.G., Popova T.A., Fedorov V.V., Fradkin E.E. Arkheologicheskoe cobranie Muzeya antropologii i etnograpfii im. Petra Velikogo AN SSSR [Archaeological Collections of Peter the Great Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography] // 250 let Muzeya antropologii i etnografii im. Petra Velikogo. Leningrad, 1964. P. 151–168. (MAE Collection, Vol. XXII).

Yet More Privacy Ruminations

So Overwatch is out and it is amazing. I love it. I play it basically as much as I can. I’m playing Lucio primarily, but am also enjoying Widowmaker and have dallied with Junkrat, Reinhardt, Hanzo and would like to play around with Mercy and McCree.

I typically play the game with friends, because friends make things a lot more fun and you also have a much higher success rate if you’re all on a voice chat together (we haven’t really used the in-game one, but I hear it’s not terrible) and there’s chatter. “There’s a Reaper top left window!” “Got it!” is just one example from a recent match wherein we were defending Hanamura Point B.

However, not all of these people are really my friends.

There’s Majik, of course, plus my brother, Fog.

Then I also play with Majik’s brothers, Sephden and ChaosMarine. Sephden used to be a raider with us in Apotheosis way back in the day, so I’ve known him for a while. I’ve only really known Chaos for a few months — although I did meet him at Majik’s wedding three years ago.

I also play with Palantir, who was also a raider of ours in Burning Crusade, and was Majik’s college roommate. He and Maj came up to Montreal a few years ago and so we hung out and we’ve played together a lot — but not for a number of years. (Although we did walk down the aisle together at Majik’s wedding.) He and Maj and my brother play a lot of League of Legends together. (Which I do not. For a lot of reasons.)

Then I play with three other people, all friends of Sephden’s or Chaos’. C, E and JollyPenguin. I think E (I could be wrong) was a short-term raider in Apotheosis in Burning Crusade, but I don’t know C at all and I only know JollyPenguin because we also played Minecraft together.

I even played a few rounds with Fusionsnake, who’s a friend of Sephden’s, who was a badass rogue of ours in Burning Crusade. (It was nice to chat with him for a bit.)

I am probably known for being extremely protective of my privacy and my BattleTag, yet I have recently decided to let a few, select people get added to my BattleTag list. At first, it was just Maj’s brothers. Then I added Palantir. My thinking is — hey, I’ve met them all “in real life”.

Fusion and C had requested I add them and I declined those, because while it’s nice to play with Fusion and I don’t mind playing with C, it’s like… I don’t really know you. Do I really want you to be able to see what I’m doing in Blizzard games at all times? No.

In fact, I don’t want anyone to see that at all times.

The more people you add as a BattleTag friend, the less privacy you have, period.

“So I saw you were hanging out in Stormwind,” Palantir said to me this weekend. “Making gold?”

Awkward. Yes, I was hanging out in Stormwind, yes, I was making gold (or trying to). But how did he… oh, right. We’re friends now. As such, he can see:

a) if I’m online
b) what game I’m playing
c) what WoW realm and character I’m using and even which zone I’m in

True, I can see the same info of his, but I remain uncomfortable that anyone of my BattleTag “friends” can see detailed information. I posted my ideal solution, oh, four years ago, and it’s disappointing that essentially nothing has changed.

In fact, it’s gotten worse, because our BattleTags are clearly evident in the various official Blizzard forums. I’m never going to post on the official Overwatch forum because with one click, you can see all of someone’s posts — under their full BattleTag. True, you would have to accept the invitation, but I’m very guarded and I don’t want to be constantly spammed for invitations by random people. Would this definitely happen? No. But I’m long-winded enough and critical enough that it could happen.

Hell, Palantir spammed me by requesting to be friends over and over again. Thankfully, I only saw the one invitation, but if I’d declined each, I’d have gotten new ones repeatedly.

And those invitations follow you everywhere. You see it when you log in to WoW — so and so and requested to be friends.

You see it in the BattleNet app.

Yeah, I get it — someone requested to be my friend. Now knock it off.

And I’m not even someone who has problems with people stalking them. What about those people, who live in actual fear of people with malicious intents? Just having that information out there might not be a problem for you, but it is a problem for some.

While I appreciate the free BattleTag change (yay!) and I appreciate being able to play cool games with my friends, I would urge Blizzard, again, to please look into refining the system. Sometimes I don’t want my friends to know I’m playing WoW on a little-used alt. Sometimes I want to snipe people in Overwatch without my friends seeing I’m playing the game at all. Sometimes, I just want to play and not think about how I might offend someone if I didn’t accept their group invitation.

As I said in that old post, there’s no reason we should have to deal with these inelegant (at best) tools when it comes to human interaction. Blizzard can do better and we should encourage them to do so.

On New Games and New Players

(looks at date of last blog post and sighs heavily)

Well. It’s been quite some time, eh?

I’m sorry. Life is work and work is insane and that leaves exceptionally little time to do much beyond my (sometimes weekly) podcast, The Kurncast. (You should listen.)

That said, I have this week off from work, which is delightful. So I’m going to throw my hat in the ring and chime in about Overwatch. But not about how gorgeous the maps are (they are) or how awesome the animation is (it is) or even about balance or characters.

I want to talk about being a new player in a new game and learning to play and being an experienced player in a relatively new game. I want to talk about talent and practice, work and understanding.

Let’s be quite fair — this blog is resplendent with examples of my frustrations with other Warcraft players. But I’ve also done a fair amount of trying to help people play their holy paladins better, be better raiders, be better guild masters

So I understand the frustrations of some, particularly people in a game that has been around as long as World of Warcraft has been and if they’ve been playing that long.

But… I remember being a scrub, myself. My history is filled with dumb things. Of note:

  • did not tame enough pets as I levelled, thereby not teaching my old pet new abilities (Growl Rank 1, anyone?) Of course, this mechanic is long-gone.
  • often forgot to dismiss my pet, causing a pet pull. (Whoops.)
  • “tanked” a dungeon with a melee weapon as a hunter instead of using my pet (Blackrock Depths) (long, long, long story)

Part of why I was able to do such dumb things is, of course, that the game wasn’t mature at that point. So many people were still learning. Do I have higher expectations of both myself and others in WoW nowadays? Yes. It’s been out for 11 years. The population of the game is declining. Most people who are playing WoW should know some basics. What basics?

  • what a tank is
  • what a healer is
  • what a DPS is
  • what bad environmental shit looks like
  • how to stay out of bad environmental shit

I wouldn’t even expect most players to know how or when to interrupt spells, or to know necessarily that healing causes aggro. I wouldn’t even necessarily expect them to know various fights, particularly fights that I do know, because I’ve run BRD like eighteen billion times and it’s their first time in the dungeon.

I do expect people to do a bit of research on their class. I do expect people to ask questions if needed. I do expect people to follow instructions if they’re unsure.

So now we come to Overwatch. The newest Blizzard game on the block, it’s been in beta for a few months and some people have had the good fortune to be in the beta this whole time. Others are just now getting their first look at the game.

Overwatch is a first-person shooter game that’s very reminiscent of Team Fortress 2. I enjoy TF2, I’ve spent many hours of my life playing it (nowhere close to my time played in WoW, mind you) and so this format of the game is not terribly foreign to me. But I imagine it’s foreign to others.

That said, as a newer player to Overwatch myself, this is what I feel I need to know:

  • what offense, defense, tank and support roles are for
  • what assault, escort, control and assault/escort maps are
  • what my particular choice of heroes can do in terms of basic and ultimate abilities
  • a general idea of when it would be useful to use my abilities to best help my teammates

The first thing I did during the Overwatch stress test a couple of weeks ago was play a LOT against bots. Easy bots. Medium bots. Eventually hard bots. Then I played with friends, primarily, against real people and realized I was still a scrub.

Playing with friends is great, particularly if you’re on Skype or Mumble or something of the sort (ugh to the in-game voice chat) because you and your friends can correct each other and learn from one another. Majik used to do that in arenas in WoW — he’d experience the arena and then discuss the reasons for failure with his teammates. It’s a smaller version of what I’d do as a raid leader, where I’d post a review thread and discuss the various items that needed to be addressed where we, as a group, had fallen down. So playing with friends is bound to help you out.

So new players should know the basics. I think everyone should be okay with knowing the basics I listed above. That’s not asking too much.

What is asking too much is that someone have amazing aim or know where all the medpacks are or even knowing the names and abilities of all the characters. If you think I know more than a handful of hero names and abilities, I’ve got news for you… I don’t know where anything is on most maps. I don’t even always feel like I’m using the right hero in the right situation. But I’m playing and practicing and learning. And I’m improving. I am, by no means, innately talented at FPS games, by the way. I am pretty bad to begin with — most people are. And that’s okay. As long as I keep trying and practicing and learning, I’m going to improve. The only way for me to go is up.

For those Overwatch “experts”, who have a lot of previous experience with FPS games (particularly TF2), I can understand your dislike of newbies. But we’re here. We’re learning the game. Give us a chance to catch up! This is our first real look at the game and there will be more newbies incoming on launch. Feel free to give us instructions if you see someone doing something “wrong”, but remember that we’re learning!

Oh. And here’s a pro tip for you: people are more likely to listen to you if you say it nicely. :)

Kurn's Guides Affiliate Program

This isn’t like most affiliate programs where you get like, 0.07% of the sale price, though. That seems silly, right? I mean, if an affiliate directs someone to my site and that leads to a sale, well, that sale wouldn’t have happened without the affiliate, right? So it seems fair to me that all affiliates receive 50% of the proceeds of the sale. I do have some higher-priced items (the Legendary version of my full guide currently goes for $69.99 USD) and the Kick-Ass Raider guide is shorter (and thus, priced differently) than the GM Guide. So there are a few different price points and there’s more content coming.

It’s free for you to sign up! Just head over to this site:

Once there, you’ll need to create a FREE Affiliate account with SendOwl. It’s easy and if it means you get cash, how is it not worth it?

In case there’s any hesitation, here are the instructions:

This is where you create your account.

This is where you create your account after clicking the link I posted just above.

Join 2

This is where you fill in your name, email address, country, etc.

This is where you accept the terms of the program.

This is where you accept the terms of the program.

Here's the description of the program and where any of your earnings may listed.

Here’s the description of the program and where any of your earnings may listed.

Join 5

This is where you get the links for both the site in general as well as each individual product. You plug those links on your site somewhere and anyone who clicks through will go to my site, but you’ll then get credit.

So the terms of the affiliate program are simple:

– 50% of the proceeds go to you
– payments happen at the start of each month
– cookies (which tell SendOwl that you referred the user) last 3 months
– they expire after the first sale
– all products I offer are included and all products give you 50% of the proceeds

Now, you can use text links with your special affiliate links, if you like, or you can make some of your own graphics… or you can use my (admittedly poor) graphics here. (Please do save them to your computer and upload them to your own server. Thanks!)

468×60 Banners:

300×250 Square:

300×600 Vertical Banner:

125×125 Button:

120×60 Animated Button:

So feel free to use any of those (or create your own and share them with me!) or just use text links. That’s okay, too. :)

Happy birthday, Big Tex: State Fair icon turns 60

By  |

DALLAS (AP) - Big Tex is turning the big 6-0.

The towering, hand-waving mascot of the State Fair of Texas is celebrating his 60th birthday as crews ready to hoist him up Monday at Fair Park in Dallas. The State Fair opens Friday.

With his 75-gallon hat, 50-pound belt buckle and folksy, slow drawl to greet visitors - "Howdy, folks!" - Big Tex has been the star of the fair since 1952. The birthplace of the 52-foot-tall cowboy was actually outside Dallas in the town of Kerens, where the giant figure was originally a Santa Claus.

Big Tex was showing his age even before this latest birthday.

The Dallas Morning News reported Sunday (http://dallasne.ws/PMb0eA ) that upon turning 50 in 2002, crews made his hair grayer and added wrinkles to his face and hands.

Lamar Advertising Company Partners with Recycle Across America®

Recycle Across America® Launches National Celebrity PSA Campaign Introducing Standardized Labels for Recycling Bins and Importance of Recycling Right
Television, film, music, sports and fashion industry notables participate in national multimedia “let’s recycle right”™  PSA Campaign

MINNEAPOLIS (February 18, 2014) – Today Recycle Across America (RAA) launched a national celebrity-driven PSA to introduce society-wide standardized labels for recycling bins — a simple solution that can increase recycling levels by more than 50% and significantly reduce the amount of trash currently being thrown in recycling bins. The “let’s recycle right” campaign focuses on the impact of the standardized labels and the importance of recycling right.

The first three celebrity ads releasing this month include: Kristen Bell, Angie Harmon, and Gabby Reece, which are appearing on billboards and in consumer and business media across the country. Every month three new celebrities will be featured in the ongoing campaign; celebrities include award winning actors, tv personalities, top models, professional athletes, platinum musicians, comedians and political figures.

Recycle Across America Billboard
Recycle Across America campaign running on billboard space donated by Lamar Advertising Company.

“We are incredibly honored to have celebrity support on this important initiative. The power of their influence through these ads and through their vast social media following is undeniable,” said Mitch Hedlund, founder and executive director of RAA.  “We’re equally grateful to Roger Moenks – founder of i am eco warrior Media, Candida Brady - international award winning filmmaker of the documentary Trashed, and celebrity photographer Timothy White, for their contributions in creating the campaign, and to the national media leaders who are communicating it.”

“Recycling benefits every facet of society from conserving the environment to improving the economy—but only when it’s done right” says Bell.  “I’m proud to join forces with Recycle Across America to promote the standardized labels and help educate others about the impact of proper recycling. Recycling is far too important to be confusing. It’s time to get it right.”

The ads have launched throughout the U.S. on billboards donated by Lamar Advertising and in various national publications, including magazines published by Niche Media.

RAA’s standardized labeling system for recycling bins is already being adopted by Fortune 500 companies and is showing to significantly improve recycling levels and the quality of materials captured.

Although recycling is the #1 action society can do to help the environment and the economy, U.S. recycling levels are approximately 35% and have barely improved in over 15 years, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).  This isn’t for lack of interest from the public, but rather it stems from millions of inconsistent labels on recycling bins and general confusion about recycling.

The public’s confusion at the bin results in mistakes, apathy, skepticism and ultimately tons of trash being thrown in recycling bins every day.  The enormous amounts of trash in the recycling stream, also known as contamination, often cripples the economics and viability of recycling and makes the quality of the materials undesirable or too costly for manufacturers to choose.  Therefore, many companies continue to use finite natural resources in the manufacturing of their products and packaging.

“Recycle Across America’s society-wide standardized recycling labels have already had a profound impact and as they continue to be adopted by businesses, schools and organizations throughout the U.S., there will be significant improvements to air, land, water usage, conservation of limited natural resources, job growth and the overall economy,” Hedlund said.

According to the Tellus Institute and EPA, if recycling levels reach 75% in the U.S. it will generate 1.5 million new jobs (net) and it will be the CO2 equivalent of removing 50 million cars from U.S. roads each year.

Hedlund continues, “The standardized labels not only help people recycle more but they also help people recycle right, subsequently improving the quality of the recyclables being captured and dramatically reducing costs associated with removing contamination.  So as this initiative grows, more manufacturers will be able to commit to using recycled materials in their products and packaging versus depleting precious finite resources,” Hedlund said. “Sometimes the simplest solutions can have the greatest impact.”

In 2011, RAA introduced the society-wide standardized labels for recycling bins and to date the solution has been adopted by some of the world’s most notable corporations and institutions. Today approximately half a million of RAA’s standardized labels are now in use throughout the U.S., Canada and Europe.  For more information, please visit

Recycle Across America (RAA) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, which has developed the first ever society-wide standardized labeling system for recycling bins to help eliminate the public confusion surrounding recycling.  RAA and the standardized labels have been identified as a world-changing solution by Ashoka Global Innovators for the Public and have been referred to as "... one of the top environmental fixes taking root today" by the New York Times. This initiative represents what can be accomplished when simple solutions are implemented making it easier for society to act on their good intentions. For more information, visit

Cross country: LA teams will travel to Arizona for NCN regional

-A A +A
By Mike Cote

For those who didn’t get their fill of the rivalry at the Class AAAA state championship two weeks ago, fear not. The second round of what has turned into one of the best prep rivalries in New Mexico will be held Saturday.

As if New Mexico wasn’t big enough to contain it, however, the venue will shift to Tempe, Ariz.

The Los Alamos Hilltopper boys cross country team will square off against arch-rival Albuquerque Academy at the Nike Cross Nationals Southwest Regional Saturday in Tempe.

The race, a qualifier for the Nike Cross Nationals championship race — formerly called the Nike Team Nationals — which will be held Dec. 6 at Portland Meadows near the Nike corporate headquarters.

At Tempe, teams from across the southwest — New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado Utah and Wyoming — will compete for the right to move on to the championship race.

Los Alamos’ boys and girls are both scheduled to run Saturday, as are both teams from Albuquerque Academy.

Both the Chargers’ boys and girls are going in as the state’s Class AAAA champions.

Los Alamos’ girls finished third at the state championship race, held Nov. 8. Meanwhile, the Hilltopper boys finished second at the state title race, a scant two points behind the Chargers.

Kyle Pittman and Gareth Gilna of Los Alamos finished 1-2 for Los Alamos at the AAAA championship race. Pittman, a junior, ran a blistering 15 minutes, 19 seconds to win his first state championship, while Gilna, a senior, finished in 15:31.

Pittman went into the race just two weeks after having to sit out the Los Alamos Invitational because of a nagging knee problem.

The Los Alamos-Academy rival was punctuated at that race, however, by Nat Gustafson, who sprinted the final 50 meters to catch Academy’s Anthony Lauriello at the tape. Both runners finished in a tie for sixth place.

In the girls race, sophomore Megan Reader led the squad with a fifth-place finish individually.

At the 2007 southwest regional, the Hilltopper and Charger boys finished tied for first place in points, but the Chargers’ sixth runner, Damon Campbell, finished ahead of Los Alamos’ sixth runner, Daniel Hemphill, giving the Chargers the regional nod.

Los Alamos would have the last laugh of 2007, however, finishing second in the nation at the NTN race in Oregon.

Pittman is Los Alamos’ top returning finisher, taking 10th individually.

The Hilltopper girls finished 14th overall at the 2007 southwest regional. Holly Walker was their top finisher, getting 34th place.

Most of Los Alamos’ state meet contingent for both the boys and the girls are expected to attend the regional meet.

Towering sand dunes, majestic wildlife and breath taking driving: journey through the awe-inspiring landscapes of Namibia, behind the wheel of the iconic Land Rover LR4.

Your adventure begins in the Namibian capital of Windhoek, where you’ll be introduced to the team and your Land Rover LR4 fleet, before setting off across the stunning Naukluft Mountains to Sossusvlei, on the edge of the Namib Desert.

After a starry-skied night at Kulala Desert Lodge, a hot air balloon safari awaits at dawn. Then an exhilarating drive through the mighty red dunes and a visit to the clay pans of Deadvlei, where 900-year-old skeleton trees stand perfectly preserved.

Next you’ll traverse the spectacular Gaub and Kuiseb Canyons, across the Namib plains, northwest to Walvis Bay. Among palm-lined coastal dunes, you’ll bed down at your luxury lodge on Pelican Point peninsula, with time spare for dolphin-watching.

Your journey then advances into the more remote Kunene region of Damaraland, to Desert Rhino Camp. Here you’ll join the Save the Rhino Trust for a once-in-a-lifetime experience to track the endangered black rhino. And in the shadow of the Etendeka Mountains, you’ll test your driving skills against rolling, rocky hills and water crossings.

Finally east, across savannah woodland to Etosha National Park and Ongava Lodge game reserve, where you’ll hold your breath behind the wheel to glimpse elephants, leopards and springbok. A perfect memory of an unforgettable adventure.

When ordering a battery, make sure you select the correct model. Some models numbers are very close to each other but have difference batteries. There can be more than one battery available for a laptop as different manufacturers offer higher capacity batteries that last longer per charge cycle. The more cells inside a battery, the longer it lasts. Check the battery ratings for the type of battery you have. You should find a rating that looks like this: 10.8V --- 4400mAh. This would be a 6-cell battery. Since battery cells have different capacities, remember that a 6-cell battery could also be 4000mAh or 4800mAh. So, when shopping for a battery, make sure the prices are for equivalent prices. The higher the milliamp rating of the battery, the longer you can use the battery before recharging it. The voltage of the battery does not matter. Typically, Lithium batteries are 10.8 volt to 11.1 volt or 14.4 volt to 14.8 volt. If the laptop does not turn on, it is not necessarily because of a bad battery, the laptop should work with no battery. Laptop batteries are generally good for 300-500 charges. Laptop Parts Expert does not sell batteries from Chinese manufacturer's. We only use US manufacturers or Taiwanese manufacturers for higher quality product. Laptop Parts Expert never sells batteries with Sony cells, known to explode.

It doesn’t rain often in the city of angels but when it does I love heading downtown to wander around the gloomy city.  It reminds me of when Sam and I lived in San Francisco. Wandering around the city was our favorite thing to do. On hot summer nights we’d get lost in Chinatown. We’d spend rainy mornings exploring the Marina.  Our lazy Sundays stared with a stroll down to the Ferry Building. Out of all the things I miss about living in SF, it’s this wandering I miss the most.

Here's what's happened under Trump this week

Shirley Temple Black, iconic child star, dies at 85

Shirley Temple Black, who as the most popular child movie star of all time lifted a filmgoing nation’s spirits during the Depression and then grew up to be a diplomat, has died. She was 85.

Black died late Monday at her home in Woodside, Calif., according to publicist Cheryl J. Kagan. No cause was given.

From 1935 through 1938, the curly-haired moppet billed as Shirley Temple was the top box-office draw in the nation. She saved what became 20th Century Fox studios from bankruptcy and made more than 40 movies before she turned 12.

PHOTOS: Shirley Temple Black

Hollywood recognized the enchanting, dimpled scene-stealer’s importance to the industry with a “special award” -- a miniature Oscar -- at the Academy Awards for 1934, the year she sang and danced her way into America’s collective heart.

After she sang “On the Good Ship Lollipop” in “Bright Eyes,” the song became a hit and the studio set up Shirley Temple Development, a department dedicated to churning out formulaic scripts that usually featured the cheerful, poised Shirley as the accidental Little Miss Fix-It who could charm any problem away.

Her most memorable performances included four films she made with Bill “Bojangles” Robinson, a black dancer 50 years her senior and a favorite costar, she later said.

They were first paired as foils for cantankerous Lionel Barrymore in 1935’s “The Little Colonel,” in which 7-year-old Shirley tap dances up and down the staircase, remarkably matching the veteran Robinson step for step.

Hollywood Star Walk: Shirley Temple

“I would learn by listening to the taps,” Temple told the Washington Post in 1998. “I would primarily listen to what he was doing and I would do it.”

Their dance routines in such films as the Civil War saga “The Littlest Rebel” (1935) and “Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm” (1938) reflected their off-screen rapport. Theirs were the first mixed-race musical numbers to be seen in many parts of the country, according to “Who’s Who in Musicals.”

Two of her films released in 1937 were among Temple’s favorites -- the John Ford-directed “Wee Willie Winkie,” in which she wins over a British outpost in India, and “Heidi,” a hit film that became a classic.

In her first film aimed squarely at children, Shirley sang “Animal Crackers in My Soup” to fellow orphans in 1935’s “Curly Top.” She danced with Jack Haley in “Poor Little Rich Girl” (1936), one of her best films and “a top musical on any terms,” movie critic Leonard Maltin said.

A country desperate for relief from the excruciating economic hardships of the Depression fell in love with Shirley and her infectious optimism in “Baby Take a Bow,” the 1934 film that was her first starring vehicle.

PHOTOS: Shirley Temple films

President Franklin D. Roosevelt marveled how splendid it was “that for just 15 cents, an American can go to a movie and look at the smiling face of a baby and forget his troubles,” according to an American Film Institute history.

By 1935, lookalike Shirley Temple dolls, complete with her trademark curls, were selling at the rate of 1.5 million a year, part of a merchandising onslaught that included Shirley-endorsed dresses and dishes.

Even bartenders got into the act. Although the 1930s origins of the non-alcoholic Shirley Temple cocktail have been debated, Temple told The Times in 1985 that the Brown Derby restaurant in Hollywood had named the drink after her.

PHOTOS: Notable deaths of 2014

To learn her lines, Shirley essentially memorized the script as her mother, Gertrude Temple, read it aloud. When Barrymore forgot his lines while filming 1934’s “Carolina,” Shirley sweetly told him what to say, causing the star to “roar like a singed cat,” actor Robert Young later recalled.

She attributed her well-adjusted nature on and off the set to her “super mother” who “kept my head on straight” and “just dusted off” the adulation, Temple told The Times in 1989.

As she moved into her teens, she literally outgrew the movie business -- audiences would not accept her in more mature roles -- and Temple made her last film, “Mr. Belvedere Goes to College,” in 1949.

A decade later, she briefly returned to Hollywood to narrate and sometimes star in fairytales on what was originally called “Shirley Temple’s Storybook,” a successful show that aired on television from 1958 to 1961.

It prompted one critic to write that it proved once again that Temple “could, if she wanted to, steal Christmas from Tiny Tim,” Anne Edwards wrote in the 1988 biography “Shirley Temple: American Princess.”

Politics consumed much of her adult life after she married businessman Charlie Black in 1950 and was known as Shirley Temple Black.

An active Republican, she ran unsuccessfully for Congress in 1967. Two years later, she was appointed the U.S. delegate to the United Nations by President Nixon.

From 1974 to 1976, Temple was the U.S. ambassador to the West African nation of Ghana and later served as White House chief of protocol for President Ford. She also was an ambassador to Czechoslovakia from 1989 to 1992, a “substantive job” that was the best she ever held, Temple told the Washington Post in 1998.

Initially short on diplomatic experience, she got an assist from her childhood. People on the street in Prague would often stop her and pull a memento from their wallets -- their membership card from Czechoslovakia’s 1930s-era Shirley Temple fan club.

That recognition “was very helpful when you want to explain your country’s position on various foreign affairs,” she said in the Post article.

The money she made as a child had long since evaporated.

At 22, she discovered that all but $28,000 of her $3.2-million income from the movies had vanished because of her family’s lavish lifestyle and bad investments made by her father, George Temple, a bank manager who left his job to oversee her career.

She “felt neither disappointment nor anger,” Temple wrote in her 1988 autobiography. “Perhaps years spent ignoring such matters had insulated me from disillusion. The spilt-milk parable surely played a role in my equanimity, as did the power of bloodline and family ties.”

Her brothers were 9 and 13 years old when she was born April 23, 1928, in Santa Monica to a mother who had suppressed a desire for her own career in the arts, Edwards wrote.

When Shirley was barely 3, her mother enrolled her in a Los Angeles dance studio run by former Ziegfeld girl Ethel Meglin, who trained young children to work in film and advertising.

In publicity interviews, her mother always claimed that Shirley was accidentally “discovered” in a dancing class that was for recreation, but from the start, Gertrude made the rounds of casting directors with her young daughter.

At the dance studio, she was soon spotted by a talent scout and cast in a low-budget series called “Baby Burlesks,” in which she parodied such adult actresses as Marlene Dietrich and Greta Garbo.

Her career took off when she signed with Fox in 1934 -- she made 10 films that year alone. Her baby-doll image was so valuable to the studio that the 6-year-old’s birth certificate was altered to shave a year off her age. She did not discover the deceit until her 13th birthday, Temple recalled in her autobiography.

By then, she was officially unemployed, released from her contract in 1940 after her final two films flopped at the box office. With the advent of World War II, Shirley's endless optimism on screen went out of fashion, and she enrolled in the Westlake School for Girls. She had brought more than $32 million into Fox’s coffers, Edwards wrote.

She continued to make mostly forgettable movies until she was 21. The best of her post-child starring roles may have been the spunky Army brat she played in 1947’s “Fort Apache,” which paired her romantically on screen with John Agar, whom she married at 17 in 1945.

The brother of one of Shirley’s classmates, Agar was a 24-year-old Army Air Corps sergeant when his marriage to Temple propelled him into acting. They had a daughter but divorced in 1949.

On vacation in Hawaii in 1950, Temple met the dashing Black, who was working at a shipping company and had never seen any of her films.

“He was an intensely interesting and fascinating man to me,” Temple said when Black died at 86 in 2005. “I fell in love with him at first sight. It sounds corny, but that’s what happened.”

During the Korean War, Black rejoined the military and worked as an intelligence officer in Washington, where his wife became interested in politics, according to a 2001 Times article.

After moving to California, Black started a fishing and hatchery company and consulted on maritime issues. The couple added two more children to their family and moved to the San Francisco Bay Area in 1954.

In 1972, after undergoing a modified radical mastectomy, Temple held a televised news conference from her hospital room to encourage other women to have check-ups.

When Temple received a Kennedy Center honor in 1998, President Clinton said that “she was the first child actor ever to carry a full-length A-list picture” and “had the greatest short-lived career in movie history, then gracefully retired to ... the far less strenuous life of public service.”

Temple often underplayed her years as the little screen star whose blinding smile and bountiful talent rescued a studio. “Sometimes one scores a bull’s-eye purely by chance,” she wrote in her autobiography.

Of the shadow that always followed her, Temple told Time magazine in 1967: “I always think of her as ‘the little girl.’ She’s not me.”

Temple is survived by a son, Charlie Jr.; two daughters, Lori and Susan; a granddaughter and two great-granddaughters.

FC Barcelona's Andres Iniesta of Spain holds his Best Player UEFA 2012 Award after being awarded during the draw ceremony for the 2012/2013 Champions League Cup soccer competition at Monaco's Grimaldi Forum in Monte Carlo. (Photo : REUTERS/Eric Gaillard )

When you talk about the world's current greatest soccer players, there's two names that dominate every discussion: Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. You might be surprised to find out, however, that UEFA named Andres Iniesta the best player in Europe at an awards ceremony in Monaco.Iniesta finished with 19 votes.

Messi and Ronaldo were the runners up, with 17 votes apiece.

The UEFA's best player in Europe award is voted on by 53 sports journalists from countries part of UEFA.

"Without my teammates at the Spanish national team and Barcelona I wouldn't have won this individual trophy," Iniesta remarked. "I feel very privileged to be part of this generation of Spanish footballers."

There's no doubt that Iniesta is nowhere near as popular worldwide as Messi or Ronaldo. He doesn't capture imaginations the way Messi's footwork or Ronaldo's shots on goal do - what he does do best is help his team win.

Iniesta plays central midfielder for FC Barcelona in the Spanish La Liga and on the Spanish national team. While Barcelona lost out to Madrid for the La Liga title last season, the Spanish national team won the 2008 and 2012 European championships, as well as the FIFA World Cup in 2010 - the first time a team has won three straight national championships.

Iniesta played a crucial role in those victories, scoring the winning goal in the 116th minute against the Netherlands in 2010 to give Spain the World Cup title.

Granted, Iniesta was helped on to many of these victories by his capable teammates, Iker Casillas, Sergio Ramos, Cesc Fabregas, and Lionel Messi among many others, Iniesta player a crucial role as the crux through which the Spanish offense went through. Carefully orchestrated passes and aggressive attacks when needed made Iniesta an incredibly dangerous player for opponents.

So yes, he is not Ronaldo or Messi. But he does carry the title of best player in Europe, at least for now.

Former Deputy Attorney General George Terwilliger III '78 in The New York Times

Friday, June 22, 2012   (0 Comments)
Posted by: Max Rodriguez
Share |
Former Deputy Attorney General George Terwilliger III '78 was quoted in The New York Times on attorney generals facing political pressure. George Terwilliger, who was Attorney General Alberto Gonzales's defense lawyer during the hearings over prosecutor firings, said political pressure in the job "has increases exponentially in the last 20 years" and has distracted from the attorney general's main mission of enforcing federal laws.

George Terwilliger

As the No. 2 official at the Justice Department in the first Bush administration, Mr. Terwilliger dealt with a Congressional showdown of his own when his boss, Attorney General William P. Barr, refused demands from Democrats to appoint an outside counsel to investigate allegations that the administration had illegally aided Iraq before the first gulf war.

"There’s usually some kernel of substance to these controversies,” he said. "But at some point, they change from largely substantive to being largely political theater, and the reason the attorney general gets into trouble is that they don’t see it coming, and they’re no longer able to function when it reaches that point.”

George Terwilliger is a senior partner at White & Case LLP and global head of the Firm's White Collar Practice Group. Mr. Terwilliger's clients have included some of the world's largest companies in the financial, healthcare, energy, telecommunications and manufacturing industries as well as business and political figures in investigations and in litigation. Mr. Terwilliger has conducted corporate internal investigations and legal risk management reviews around the globe. Mr. Terwilliger's experience includes fifteen years in public service as a federal prosecutor and US Justice Department leader. He was a presidential appointee in two administrations, first as a US Attorney, then Deputy Attorney General, the number two Department of Justice official, and Acting Attorney General of the United States. In private practice, Mr. Terwilliger continues to be involved in matters of public interest, having served as counsel to a US Senate investigation, outside general counsel to federal commissions, and confidant and counselor to elected and appointed officials. He is regularly called upon to provide testimony and commentary on matters of public policy. Read his full biography here.

Show Cave Co-Founder and Genesis P-Orridge Are Making a Voodoo Documentary

Hazel Hill McCarthy III, Dah Gbedjonon, Genesis Breyer P-Orridge and Dah Deh in Ouidah, Benin.

Lewis Teague Wright

For years, L.A. artist Hazel Hill McCarthy III and her partner, Eric Nordhauser, curated Show Cave, a haven for experimental art in all forms, and easily one of the most eclectic venues in Los Angeles’ rich history. Now, she's working on a film that examines West African vodun (voodoo) with a seemingly unlikely collaborator: performance artist Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, best known as a founding member of the groundbreaking industrial band Throbbing Gristle and the occult and art collective, Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth (TOPY).

The two met backstage at a Throbbing Gristle show in New York. Hill McCarthy recalls, “The lights were blinding, they had the heat on full blast, and this figure steps onto the stage commanding the entire room, and it’s Genesis.”

It was only natural that the pair work together. Their first collaboration was to create Thee Psychick Bible, a collection of texts and images from the TOPY era.

Initial planning on their film, Bight of the Twin, began in 2010 while they were in Kathmandu, on a trip to celebrate the completion of Thee Psychick Bible. There, they happened upon striking images of the Vodun Festival in Ouidha, Benin in West Africa, and their partnership was given new life.

This past January the pair traveled to Benin to document the Vodun Festival. Ouidha, once a large slave port, has been called the birthplace of voodoo. The festival involves elaborate outfits, dancing, chanting, and walking the route des escalates to honor the slaves who were taken.

Route des escalates is the path slaves were taken to the beach,” Hazel explains. “At the end there’s this monument, ‘Door of No Return.’ You’re standing there, looking at it, knowing this was the last place these people saw before being taken. It’s incredibly powerful.”

They soon discovered that Benin has the highest birthrate of twins in the world, and that in Vodun twins possess a sacred meaning. On their second day in Ouidah, Genesis was initiated into the “Twin Fetish,” a practice that honors twins. Genesis, who identifies as pandrogynous and prefers gender-neutral pronouns, was given a jumeau, a physical representation of a lost twin, representing h/er late wife and pandrogyne partner, Lady Jaye Breyer P-Orridge.

“A few days later the sunburned media and tourists began to ascend with their telescopic lenses,” Hazel says with a laugh.

Despite the influx of outsiders, the direction of their film had been found. They returned to the U.S. and set up a Kickstarter to fund a second trip, which they returned from earlier this month. The second trip was riddled with complications, but yielded incredible results.

They departed in September with a group originally totaling six that had dropped to four due to Ebola fears. After a series of canceled flights and missed connections, they finally arrived in Benin. Having been initiated into the Twin Fetish, Genesis returned this time as a member. S/he and Hill McCarthy met with locals and explored the eternal connection between Genesis and h/er late wife, Lady Jaye.

Upcoming Events

Since returning, P-Orridge and Hill McCarthy are sorting out the footage from both trips. Hazel's husband, Douglas J. McCarthy of Nitzer Ebb, is doing the soundtrack, as well as part of the film’s editing. An Indiegogo campaign will assist with some of the final costs, and there will be a fundraising event at Complex in Glendale on Sunday, November 23.

“It’s a document of an experience rather than a documentary in a typical National Geographic sense,” Hazel explains. An experience only two visionary artists the likes of Hazel Hill McCarthy III and Genesis Breyer P-Orridge could have.

Legal Question in Consumer Law in South Carolina

I went to trade my car in yesterday and the carfax showed it had one major accident on the carfax. the wreck was from 4 years ago and i havent had the car for nine months. is there anything i can do against the auto dealership?

John Jackson Law Office of John A. Jackson, P.C.

The problem with Carfax is that it is not allows accurate. You can pursue the dealership for damages. If the dealership knew about the wreck they certainly had an obligation to tell you about it. Get an attorney to help you out on this. It may cost you some money upfront but it may be worth it. If you like I can help you or I can refer you to someone who can.

Whilst the upgrade from TN to IPS would not be an issue here, the resolution upgrade could be a problem. Most laptops will run at FULL HD on an external screen via the HDMI or VGA ports to an external screen or projector, but only some will be able to run at FULL HD on an internal display via the EDP or LVDS ports the screen is connected to.
The video controllers inside the laptops are often not capable of FHD internally but only externally. The way we would go about researching this in the first instance would be to perform some research into the laptop model. If the model of laptop that you have did come with a FULL HD screen at some point, or a variation of your model had a FULL HD screen, there is a chance that your laptop has the same motherboard and video graphics controller but just a downgraded screen. In this instance an upgrade would be likely to work.
