Grizzly Bear's Chris Taylor Launches Terrible Record Label (No, Really)

Releases first solo material

Chris Taylor, Grizzly Bear's blonde-haired, sharp-chinned producer and multi-instrumentalist, is getting into the indie label game. Alongside Lust Boys' Ethan Silverman, Taylor is launching a new label called Terrible Records, which will hopefully not turn out to be a prophetic name. And yes, Taylor will release solo music on the label.

On October 13, the label will make its grand debut with a 7" single that will include "Ghosts", Taylor's first solo song, under the moniker CANT. On the flip, you'll find "Come to Life", a previously unreleased song that the late avant-disco hero Arthur Russell recorded in the late 70s. "Come to Life" comes courtesy of Audika, and that label will release it as a digital download. The physical release will be limited to 1000 copies, and you'll be able to buy it from the label's website once that gets going. (Right now, the goofy-fun blog is the only operational part of that website.)

This is the first in a series of 7" singles that Taylor produced at Terrible Studios, the same place where he produced much of Grizzly Bear's Veckatimest. On October 28, Terrible Records will release All of the Fire, a five-song 10" EP from the New York band Acrylics, which Taylor also produced.

Fallon Fox: "I'm at a Disadvantage Tonight Against Jones"

The Inside MMA host asks Fallon Fox "Being born male doesn't give you a physical advantage?

Fox: "No not at all. ..(you)lose that ability to create large amounts of testosterone. I'm actually at a disadvantage......my testosterone levels are drastically lower than theirs (cis females), it’s almost nothing.”

Fallon Fox is on a level field fighting cisgender woman say the The Association of Boxing Commissions.

The IOC issued this press release IOC addresses eligibility of female athletes with hyperandrogenism a condition that produces abnormally high levels of testosterone in a cisgender woman resulting in what could be construed as 'unfair advantages". This condition is also associated with a transgender woman who has not undergone medical surgery and/or hormone replacement therapy(HRT).

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) published the Stockholm Consensus Statement in 2003 (Appendix B) produced by a ad hoc (unbiased) committee. The requirement for transgender athletes to participate in the Olympics is that they have had "surgical anatomical change and hormone treatment for two years" as Fallon Fox has done.

The NCAA policy supporting trans inclusive athletics.

Many individual high schools are already allowing trans students to play and the list continues to grow.

AB 1266 just passed the California state assembly and is now on the way to the Senate. This bill would require that a pupil be permitted to participate in sex-segregated school according to their gender presentation. HRT and surgery would not be required.

To watch Fallon Fox live tonight find the cable provider in your area that carries AXS TV.

On a personal level. I was in the Army ten years three of those in the infantry and even qualifying for air assault. Those days pre transition I easily trained up to and well beyond Army standards.

Now as a older athlete post transition what came easily with a burst of testosterone fired adrenaline in the past now must find a new home in my physiology. I am finding this will but it's emanating from a totally different place. It seems more innate, a drive I have always had but never accessed.

With my reduced muscle mass, larger breasts and firm but rounder butt the miles come much harder these days. It's been a grueling albeit rewarding uphill battle to get to a 1/4 of what I was able to accomplish in the past.

So is Fallon Fox a underdog tonight? I don't think so.

She may very well have nearly zero testosterone as I do, but I think she will demolish Jones in the first few moments of the fight. Not because she's transgender but because of her skill and training. I've seen that look in her eys in many of my soldiers. The smallest females. The one who at 90 lbs passed one of the army's most grueling mental and physical tests, Escape and Evasion. The test that one of my biggest roughest and toughest soldiers failed at, twice.

It's not the gender or size of the dog its the fight in the dog that matters.

Transgender woman immolated in Fort Meyers

The homicide victim found burned behind a vehicle rental facility at 2807 Fowler Street on Thursday has been identified by a stepmother as a transgender woman.

Shannon Adams says Yazmin Shancez, 27, is the victim of a hate crime. No arrests have been made in what authorities call a homicide.

"I don't know but it's not fair. It shouldn't have happened to him. He's different but you know everybody's deserves to live their life the way that they want," said Adams, "He's a young kid, he had his whole life ahead of him. It was just starting."

Source Trigger warning misgendering, victim blaming.

Become a member of the epic fights for power, use your heroes to conquer strategically put islands and try to outsmart your enemies. Now I’m gonna give you some tips on how to play Olympus Rising and be a better player.  Probably the main tip you’ll receive – join an alliance at the earliest opportunity. Once you uncover the multiplayer content, you shall need assist in order to make it through.  Socialize and make sure they are fast. Never step in to the snare of the Vault of Hephaestus. Just use the free secrets to start three chests and then leave. Paying the gems is not worthwhile. You don’t need to gather your pursuit rewards soon after you complete a search. Keep them ‘stored’ there until you will need that resources. In fights, always put strain on the adversary. Don’t ‘save’ your unit resources because you won’t use them within the next battle. Try to swarm the opponent at the earliest opportunity for a quick win. Here is a short review for Olympus Rising that I promised you. The type design and everything the backgrounds and different environments appears beautiful and you could easily note that the developers worked well a lot.  The overall game shows a great deal of potential of course, if the creators match the nice work, it’ll be no real surprise if we’ll see this name achieving the tops. Don’t forget that you have our new Olympus Rising Hack and you can use it to get free Gems and Gold. I’m sure everyone will like Olympus Rising and play it for weeks!

Quiet like silence

No speech ,no violence

Walks like grace

Measuring every pace

Sings like a melody

Sweet sad parody

Blooms like a flower

No weakness, but power

Surrounds like peace

Light perfumed breeze

Deep like a slumbers

With dreams full of wonders

Shines through the souls

Directs every goal

Touches like the sunshine

Neither yours nor mine

Dances like a flame

No guilt, No shame

Colorless and pure

Like patience and endure

Real, like faith

No fable, no myth

Mysterious like an ocean

Or a magical potion

A quality a sense

Of dignity and prudence

Identity, reforms

Of being and norms

A knock at the door

Of heart to explore

A waiting of an hour

For a miracle to shower

An ecstasy that rains

No loss, no gain

Protects like an embrace

No body , no face

Guides like a friend

No craze , no trend

Treats like remedy

No pain, no tragedy

Frees like freedom

No insanity, but wisdom

A rhythm a harmony

No promise , no testimony

A sorrow that elates

A joy, that sedate

A word that glows

A mirror that shows

A seed that sows

All human pros

A trust which is blind

Yet opens the mind

A death of a martyr

A life of a character

A crown that honors

Every site every corner

A prayer that blesses

No hassle no messes

A pearl , a gemstone

Exuberant , unknown

A gift from God

No commodity , no fraud

A question that answers

No learner, no preacher

A reason a passion

Original, no fashion

No urge but fulfilling

No taking, only giving

Dedicated to Divinity

Review of Geoffrey Dunn's The Lies of Sarah Palin: The Untold Story Behind Her Relentless Quest for Power.

Cross Posted from Amazon with the Kind Permission of a Politicalgates Reader

Sure to become a classic of political history

+++ Also: Read our interview with Geoffrey Dunn +++

Geoffrey Dunn has written the best book yet on the controversial phenomenon known as Sarah Palin. What he terms the "pathology of deceit" appears to inform every aspect of Palin's life. People who have known Palin since early childhood chose to speak to Dunn in great detail, and with genuine concern. Some of them volunteered answers to questions that Dunn had yet to ask ("FACT!" declared one correspondent, about an intimate family detail). Palin has become well known for "throwing under the bus" the co-workers, supporters, and even friends who no longer serve her purposes, a great many of whom spoke to Dunn. Mentors who helped Palin win early elections watched with dismay as Palin embarked upon what Dunn calls a "dysfunctional" stint as mayor of Wasilla, which left the small town deeply in debt.

A slipshod, inadequate vetting process put the then-Alaska governor on the ticket as John McCain's running mate in 2008, and the cracks in the not-always-vivacious candidate's sparkly exterior began to yawn in impenetrable chasms almost immediately. (McCain advisor A.B. Culvahouse summed up Palin as "High risk, high reward": Correct on the former.) "She knows nothing," snapped McCain advisor Steve Schmidt, a methodical and disciplined man whom Palin clearly drove to distraction with her erratic behavior. Schmidt called Palin's ghostwritten memoir Going Rogue "one hundred percent fiction." It is impossible to know who feels more burned about the disastrous arranged "marriage"--McCain? Or Palin?--but Dunn provides myriad examples of just what went wrong on the ticket in the fall of 2008, including a plethora of insider e-mails seen here for the first time. It's a mesmerizing education on just how daily life functions (or doesn't) on the biggest campaign trail of all.

After losing the election, "[Palin] just never made it home. She just never came back," noted Beth Kertulla, Alaska House minority leader. In 2009, one of the coldest winters and worst fish harvests on record further strained then-Governor Palin's already poor relationship with the Alaska Native population, who were forced to choose between heating their homes or feeding their children. Tribal elder Nicholas Tucker of Emmonak's pleas for assistance went unheeded by the governor--and rudely cut off in mid-sentence by Palin when the two finally met--until an SOS broadcast widely by Internet brought assistance to those in need. Dunn's first-hand knowledge of Alaska and first-rate research takes the reader where few of us, in truth, have ventured.

Dunn really shines when it comes to interweaving and acknowledging previously reported segments of the Palin story with the vast body of his own investigative work. For a reader who has not paid much attention to Palin, who quit halfway through her first term as governor in 2009, you'll find the whole story right here. And if you have followed the divisive and irresponsible trajectory of Palin's career, there's a ton of new information that shoots off in every direction, just like the "fireworks" her once-giddy pals in the press described.

Five stars is probably five too few.

Thanks to the kind generosity of a Politicalgates reader we have FIVE copies of Geoffrey Dunn's book, The Lies of Sarah Palin, to give away to five Politicalgates readers who cannot afford to buy their own copy.

If you would like the chance to own a copy of the book please email me,, explaining why you would love to own a copy. If you are one of the lucky five I will get back to you.

All books will be sent directly from Amazon to your home address.

Good luck.

There were updates to this post but blogger seems to have lost them. :-(

All free books have now be allocated. In the end we gave away ten books. P and I donated 3 and 2 readers donated another seven.

Obama campaign makes general election plans

(CNN) - In the wake of his Pennsylvania loss, Barack Obama’s campaign has revealed two major steps towards a general election operation – both usually undertaken by presumptive presidential nominees.

On Friday, the campaign officially announced an ambitious, 50-state voter registration program designed to boost Democratic registration – already reaching record levels in many states – with an eye towards November.

On the conference call discussing the effort, Deputy Campaign Manager Steve Hildebrand confirmed a report on The Page that the Obama team had entered into a joint fundraising operation with the Democratic National Committee.

The DNC could use the help. In a year when most Democratic campaign committees are vastly out-raising their Republican counterparts, the DNC – which had a little more than $5 million cash on hand, according to its most recently filed Federal Elections Commission report – is lagging far behind a cash-rich Republican National Committee’s $31 million war chest.

John McCain has launched a similar fundraising partnership with the RNC – but it did not debut until after he became the presumptive GOP nominee.

Hildebrand also said that Hillary Clinton’s campaign had held similar discussions with the national party, although the two sides had yet to come to an agreement.

“It is something that we are moving forward with and as we understand it the D.N.C. has initiated those conversations with the Clinton campaign as well.”

Joint committees are usually formed after there is a de facto nominee. In contrast to the strict fundraising limits imposed on the candidates, parties are able to raise more than 10 times as much – allowing them to assume some election-related activities and costs that would otherwise be undertaken by the campaign.

    Sold my car for $2,300.00. I will sent a check for $2,300.00 to YoYobama if he can win Florida and Michigan.

    Florida and Michigan should do primary elections every month until Obama can win.

    It will take a while, of course.

    Looking forward to 2012.

    I hope he raises a bunch of money and Hillary ends up winning the nomination. His arrogance is astounding. Once again he is operating on the "If you say it enough, people will believe it" theory.
    Not this time jerk. Typical white person who is sick of this closet racist, America hating bigot trying to "hoodwink" the American people.

    It does not matter what Obama or DNC do. If Hillary is not the nominee, forget about the Democrats. All Hillary supporters should vote for McCain to teach both Obama and DNC a lesson. At least with McCain we know what we are getting. know I will.

    Hillary is a moderate and the best candidate. She has experience and will fix our economy. She has been always proud to be an American unlike Obama's wife and Pastor.

    She knows that people believe out of love for God and others and not out of frustration like Obama said. Hillary respects people's constitutional right to bear arms. Obama thinks that God equals frustration.. ( people dont' believe 'cause they are frustrated , or are we blind sheep to agree with him?

    Listen to these Hillary supporters.... Obama is GIVING money to the DNC. If Hillary wins, it's hers. All this whining is only because you dont want to admit that your candidate is sinking. I guess this is what happens when losers lose.

    The comments posted here show just how dumb some American voters are.

    1. Obama has wrapped up the nomination. Clinton would have to win every state by a 65/35 split to catch Obama. This is not going to happen.

    2. The arguement that Obama is all talk is weak. Do a little research you will see a Harvard Law graduate and a man whose policies are regarded as more viable that Clinton's false rhetoric.

    3. Revrend Wright is not Obama, but Clinton has accepted a worse endorsement Scaife.

    4. Obama IS more electable than Clinton. The republicans will easily brand her a liar.

    5. If you are a Hillary supported and you say will support McCain over Obama, then you are too ill informed to be voting.

    Democrats are really good at one thing- losing elections...even those that are seemingly in the bag.

    We have now spent more money than ever just to beat a really weak republican nominee, with everyone already disgusted with Bush. We should have taken this election without any campaigning and without spending ANY money.

    But once again, we are desperately trying to install the nominee with appeal to the radical, ultra-liberal and fringe elements of the party. Such a candidate can not even pull all of the democrats behind him- much less the rest of America.

    Now we will Pander to the newbies and the black vote- out of fear of alienating them... and then we are willing to lose the election. Again.

    We never learn. This party deserves to DIE.

    If this has been the true mission of the World leaders.

    politics is just like sport. any sport. imagine the playing field. football, basketball, etc. now establish the rules of the game. rules created to achieve fairness for all players.

    question: after the game has begun, maybe the second quarter can one team change the rules. i don't think so. that would not be fair.

    we all admire those who play the game to the best of their ability. no one admires the team that strives to win by cheating.

    sport like politics is not about race, it is about ability and dedication. did i mention commitment to excellence? truth and honor achieved on earth echo in eternity.

    It makes sense. Theres no way we want to give the repulicans any motivation to turn out and vote or donate money. Hillary is not worth getting republicans excited. Obama will suppress the republican vote in the general election .

    we all must agree with that.

  23. Rose

    To all of the readers that try to use the race as the cause of win, I have just one thing to say... GET A LIFE...

    why Obama:

    -He has seen the rough side of life and knows what poverty and lack of education can lead do.
    -He has earned his way up
    -He has a vision of unity and prosperity for the nation
    -He respects people for whoever they are
    -He builds bridges between people and takes our differences as a contribution to the country, not as a means to divide us

    Try uniting the party after today's comments by another great Black leader in Congress. I believe his name is Clyburn. Sounds to me like we have two candidates in the Democratic party. One for the White people and African Americans that value the Clintons for their years of service to all Americans., regardless of color and the other one the Candidate of the Black Iberation Front and White Socialists.

    It won't happen the American Public is better educated today than they were 40 years ago. Even the old people can go on the internet and learn what BLT means besides Bacon lettuce and Toast. They also keep abreast of foreign affairs.

  25. Chrishton (Houston)

    Way to go Obama, speak it into existence and look past all of the Clinton drama! You will be the Democratic Nominee and the Democratic Party will support you.
    FACT CHECK: The American people can not with stand another 4 years under Republican leadership. Gas prices are soaring, we're in the midst of a recession, and far too many of our men/women have died fighting a war that should never have been authorized. The choice is clear in 2008, the same or change. Sen Clinton represents the same, sorry Washington Politics of the past people.

Reid calls supporters of Nevada cattle rancher 'domestic terrorists'

Reid calls supporters of Nevada cattle rancher 'domestic terrorists'

(CNN) - Never one to mince words, Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nevada, lumped supporters of Bunkerville rancher Cliven Bundy in with the Eric Rudolphs, Richard Reids and Timothy McVeighs.

The senate majority leader labeled those who defended the rancher against a Bureau of Land Management cattle roundup "domestic terrorists" at a Thursday evening question-and-answer session hosted by the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

"Those people who hold themselves out to be patriots are not. They’re nothing more than domestic terrorists,” Reid said. "I repeat: What went on up there was domestic terrorism.”

Reid's remarks come on the heels of a tense, weeklong showdown that drew armed militia groups from across the country to the cattleman's side, especially after a YouTube video captured a tussle teetering on violence between rangers and protesters.

The BLM ultimately decided to shut down its weeklong roundup of Bundy's cattle Saturday after the incident.

Bundy owed nearly $1 million to the government and has avoided paying federal grazing fees for 20 years. His dispute with the government began around 1993 when the bureau changed grazing rules for the 600,000-acre Gold Butte area to protect an endangered desert tortoise, CNN affiliate KLAS reported.

For his part, Reid insisted that the conflict was not over. The Nevada lawmaker said he spoke with both federal and state law officials, including Attorney General Eric Holder, and was given assurances a task force would be established to deal with the Bundy case.

“It is an issue that we cannot let go, just walk away from,” Reid said.

While the senator mainly took issue with the hundreds who flocked to Bundy's cause, Reid also jabbed at the rancher's reputation.

"He doesn’t pay his taxes," Reid said. "He doesn’t pay his fees. And he doesn’t follow the law. He continues to thumb his nose at authority.”

    It is you sir, and your ilk that are the domestic terrorists. You have pillaged the good, hard working people of this country to almost the point of no return. If another politician were never born again, this world would be a far better place!

    Funny how Reid brings up that this guy doesn't pay his taxes or fees and thumbs his nose at authority. Remind me again how many people in the Obama admin were caught not paying their taxes? They didn't get a task force to track them down and try to arrest them, they just a bi-weekly paycheck from the taxpayers.

    Reid is just upset that the American people are starting to wake up and see what the .gov is doing to them and how they forced the .gov to back down since they were out manned and out gunned.

    I agree with Senator Reid completely. The way Fox is celebrating this free loader just goes to show how corrupt and devious the GOP and Fox have become. I do not support this man and I hope that no one is harmed because of all the gun carrying lunatics who are hanging around.

    Harry is picking a fight with a people that has had enough of Government intrusion and bullying! He should know when he is to small to win a fight. This is that fight and he should be silent before the patriots turn their anger on the little man in the glasses!

  7. ThinkAgain - Don't like Congress? Get rid of the repub/tea bag majority.

    If you're looking for a REAL Western hero, look to Bud Purdy of Idaho. He passed away Monday, April 14, at the age of 96.

    He helped start the Idaho Cattle Association, led the University of Idaho Foundation as president, and was chairman of the Idaho Association of Commerce and Industry. Idaho Gov. Butch Otter said this about him:

    "Bud Purdy was the very embodiment of the Code of the West – someone whose life was a lesson in cowboy ethics, common sense, stewardship, and the value of hard work and perseverance."

    Among his many accomplishments, Mr. Purdy donated a 3,500-acre conservation easement along Silver Creek in the 1990s to the Nature Conservancy, adjacent to its own Silver Creek Preserve. The easement protected the creek and its environs from future development. This land belonged to Mr. Purdy – and he knew the best way to protect it was to give it to an organization that would steward it properly.

    But here's the kicker: Purdy didn't even take the tax break on the land easement, valued at $7 million.

    Not all ranchers are jerks like Cliven Bundy – and I salute Harry Reid for calling out Bundy for the royal nitwit he is.

    "He doesn’t pay his taxes," Reid said. "He doesn’t pay his fees. And he doesn’t follow the law. He continues to thumb his nose at authority.”

    Wow! Can you do that in this country?? Why do any of us support our government?? If one man can ignore his obligations to our government, why can't we all?? Heck, who needs government-built highways? Who needs government-managed waterways and airports?? Who needs a military?? The CIA?

    Let's ALL quit paying our government. And if Bundy doesn't have to pay rent for land his cattle graze on, why should the rest of us pay rent for our offices? Or our homes and apartments?

    Let's ALL quit paying our bills. And to heck with China, and everyone else our government owes money to. And those retired government workers and vets. Forget THEM!

    Let's ALL become a nation of FreeLoaders, living the good life without paying for it. I never knew those were Conservative Values, but if Fox 'News" says it is, and 'ol Preacher Huck says it is, then SURELY it is.

    Bundy. My New Hero!!

    Those who seek to steal the usage of public lands are nothing more than thieves. Those that seek to steal the usage of public lands at gunpoint can very easily be considered terrorists. These criminals are not patriots. They are spoiled children throwing temper tantrums because they think they should be allowed to break the law at whenever they please.

The bunch of pistol packin idiots are the very reason we need gun control. I bet most where not registered and since it is obvious most are loonies, they should not even be allowed to carry guns. Probably could not pass a mental health check. To busy looking for martians with that red moon and all

  16. Jim Moore

    This issue went to court and a federal judge (who is a Mormon Republican) ruled that Mr. Bundy had to vacate the BLM owned land. An appeals court did not hear Bundy's appeal. So he get about 1,000 vigilantes to stand by him. This reminds me of the University of MIssissippi in 1962.

    Hopefully the US Attorney will seek an arrest warrant for Mr. Bundy for contempt of court and will put liens on everything he owns. If we don't obey the law we have mob rule. Do people want to go back to the days of lynchings?

    Why doesn't the rancher just follow the law? All the BLM is doing is enforcing existing law, which the Right apparently finds offensive in any case where they whip up the whackjob chorus.

    Terrorism? Really? That is ridiculous Harry Reid. Whether you support these people's cause or not, they are not terrorists. If they were terrorists, they would be killing civilians. They haven't killed anyone. As a matter of fact, in the videos I have seen they have shown a considerable amount of restraint when they stood against the BLM.
    The only one who has used violence in this situation is the US Gov't.

    Pretty obvious that Bundy attracted every militia nutcase in the region and undoubtedly far beyond. Any excuse to diss, harass, and threaten the government will do – even Bundy's illegal behavior. Bet the dingbats were disappointed when the government wisely withdrew. Couldn't shoot those guns.

    Well, I guess we know how my government views me if I disagree. I am a terrorist. Well I disagree.

    Oh boy, the word used is "Terrorist" Now we've seen an original use of vocabulary, to describe freedom loving, Justice seeking Americans. So, does this mean they can all be arrested and held without charge? Since the NDAA says so...

I've been trying to think of an answer because I don't want to leave you hanging here. Absurd is defined as "wildly unreasonable". That brings me to politics, a subject I don't want to broach because I don't want to start an argument with anyone.

The next stop on my train of thought was my LJ scrapbook. Here's what I came up with:

Book Banning Barracuda?

We interrupt our regularly scheduled blog for a special announcement.

I don't usually post content from other sources but I came across the following article on the Boston Herald's website. In the days to come I suspect more interesting facts about Sarah "Barracuda" will come to light. And you wonder why I love politics so much; it's like real life soap opera except the people aren't as attractive and the scandals are more compelling!

WASILLA -- Back in 1996, when she first became mayor, Sarah Palin asked the city librarian if she would be all right with censoring library books should she be asked to do so.

According to news coverage at the time, the librarian said she would definitely not be all right with it. A few months later, the librarian, Mary Ellen Emmons, got a letter from Palin telling her she was going to be fired. The censorship issue was not mentioned as a reason for the firing. The letter just said the new mayor felt Emmons didn’t fully support her and had to go.

Emmons had been city librarian for seven years and was well liked. After a wave of public support for her, Palin relented and let Emmons keep her job.

It all happened 12 years ago and the controversy long ago disappeared into musty files. Until this week. Under intense national scrutiny, the issue has returned to dog her. It has been mentioned in news stories in Time Magazine and The New York Times [NYT] and is spreading like a virus through the blogosphere.

The stories are all suggestive, but facts are hard to come by. Did Palin actually ban books at the Wasilla Public Library?

In December 1996, Emmons told her hometown newspaper, the Frontiersman, that Palin three times asked her -- starting before she was sworn in -- about possibly removing objectionable books from the library if the need arose.

Emmons told the Frontiersman she flatly refused to consider any kind of censorship. Emmons, now Mary Ellen Baker, is on vacation from her current job in Fairbanks and did not return e-mail or telephone messages left for her Wednesday.

When the matter came up for the second time in October 1996, during a City Council meeting, Anne Kilkenny, a Wasilla housewife who often attends council meetings, was there.

Like many Alaskans, Kilkenny calls the governor by her first name.

"Sarah said to Mary Ellen, ’What would your response be if I asked you to remove some books from the collection?" Kilkenny said.

"I was shocked. Mary Ellen sat up straight and said something along the line of, ’The books in the Wasilla Library collection were selected on the basis of national selection criteria for libraries of this size, and I would absolutely resist all efforts to ban books.’"

Palin didn’t mention specific books at that meeting, Kilkenny said.

Palin herself, questioned at the time, called her inquiries rhetorical and simply part of a policy discussion with a department head "about understanding and following administration agendas," according to the Frontiersman article.

Were any books censored banned? June Pinell-Stephens, chairwoman of the Alaska Library Association’s Intellectual Freedom Committee since 1984, checked her files Wednesday and came up empty-handed.

Pinell-Stephens also had no record of any phone conversations with Emmons about the issue back then. Emmons was president of the Alaska Library Association at the time. Books may not have been pulled from library shelves, but there were other repercussions for Emmons.

Four days before the exchange at the City Council, Emmons got a letter from Palin asking for her resignation. Similar letters went to police chief Irl Stambaugh, public works director Jack Felton and finance director Duane Dvorak. John Cooper, a fifth director, resigned after Palin eliminated his job overseeing the city museum.

Palin told the Daily News back then the letters were just a test of loyalty as she took on the mayor’s job, which she’d won from three-term mayor John Stein in a hard-fought election. Stein had hired many of the department heads. Both Emmons and Stambaugh had publicly supported him against Palin.

Emmons survived the loyalty test and a second one a few months later. She resigned in August 1999, two months before Palin was voted in for a second mayoral term.

Palin might have become a household name in the last week, but Kilkenny, who is not a Palin fan, is on her own small path to Internet fame. She sent out an e-mail earlier this week to friends and family answering, from her perspective, the question Outsiders are asking any Alaskan they know: "Who is this Sarah Palin?"

Kilkenny’s e-mail got bounced through cyberspace and ended up on news blogs. Now the small-town mom and housewife is scheduling interviews with national news media and got her name on the front page of The New York Times [NYT], even if it was misspelled.

  1. I'm not sure what you mean by that "sigh". Are you so impressed by my blog that you're sighing with admiration? Are you sighing out of boredom? Are you sighing because you're afraid the republicans might get elected? I bet it's the first one!

  2. is Sarah Palin the "hockey mum" woman who's been all over my tv screen this past week? if so, maybe she should think about banning loud-mouth, freakishly right-wing nut-job politicians, instead of worrying about what people read. oh, wait. i forgot. reading equals thinking, and, God knows, we can't be having people thinking, can we?

    let's see if we can make a sentence out of the following junbled up words, shall we?

  3. Yes she's the self-proclaimed Hockey Mom, former Miss Alaska contestent, former Miss Wasilla, former sports caster, former PTA member, former mayor of Wasilla, Alaska (population 6700), and for the past 20 months, govenor of Alaska (population 690,000)- she seems perfectly qualified to be President of the USA doesn't she? Oh yes - her hubby Todd was a member of the Alaska Independence Party (AIP) which advocates secession from the United States. He quit the party in 2002 - the same year Sarah ran for Lt Gov.

Excuses/Life Updates

   So I think it's fair to say that this month hasn't quite gone as planned. Whilst I'd planned to be posting regularly alongside my summer job, instead the job ended up taking over my life so I did barely any writing afterwards, my weekends all seemed to be packed with moving back from uni to home and then finding a new Bristol residence and the big end of tenancy clean and somehow, blogging got left at the wayside.

   Last weekend however, I managed to hurt myself after a spectacular fall over a fence in a friend's garden resulted in me severing a lot of tendons and ligaments after slicing it open, either corrugated iron or barbed wire, resulting in immediate surgery and a plaster cast. I have now been dismissed from my summer job as I simply wouldn't be able to move around the office (it's true but it still stung) and after a week of rushing round hospitals and getting emergency tetanus vaccinations, I'm now out of my mind bored at home and so I'm sure there will be a vast increase in posts as I can no longer ride, walk, fly, drive (or rather learn to) or do anything exciting. I can't complain too much as I am being looked after exceedingly well by friends and family, it's just hard not to be bummed about the situation when I had so many plans for the summer, (including finally getting my driving licence!) and because I decided to hop over a fence, I can no longer do any of it.

   I hope everyone who is reading this is having a great summer anyway and be sure to leave your links as I've got a lot of time for reading at the moment :)

Defying all odds and showing killer instincts, PV Sindhu, Sakshi Malik and Dipa Karmakar became the unlikely heroines and saved the country's pride from returning empty-handed for the first time since Barcelona 1992.

The trio notched a few firsts for India; Sindhu, at 21, became the youngest to win an Olympic medal, a silver which was never achieved in badminton; and Sakshi's bronze was also a first for women's wrestling.

India's first female gymnast Dipa went on to miss a bronze by 0.15 points but her clean finish in the high-risk Produnova vault won the hearts of a nation.

In Pics: Dipa Vaults To Glory With Qualification For Final At Rio Olympics

Lalita Babar became the second Indian woman to qualify for the final of a track vent at the Olympics in 32 years (PT Usha being the previous one in Los Angeles 1984) and finished 10th in the 3000m steeplechase.

An 18-year-old golfer Aditi Ashok slipped away from being in top-10 at the end of second round to finish 41st with an overall score of seven-over 291.

But there were some ugly moments as well, when wrestler Narsingh Yadav was slapped with a four-year ban by the Court of Arbitration of Sports which overturned the clean chit given by the National Anti-Doping Agency.

The dope shame had returned to haunt India again, even as Narsingh claimed innocence. The grappler cried conspiracy but was evicted from the Games Village.

In more off-field controversy ports minister Viay Goel's entourage was called 'rude' by the Organising Committee, which threatened to cancel his accreditation for trying to bring non-accredited people at the accredited areas of venues.

Indian athletics contingent's middle and long distance coach Nikolai Snesarev was "detained" at a local police station for half a day and later released by the police after a lady doctor at the Games Village made a complaint of misbehaviour.

Far away from home, India's Independence Day celebration also made news for all the wrong reasons when the players were served merely peanuts in the programme hosted by the Embassy of India in Brazil and Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sport.

On field-show too was hardly inspiring.

Competing in 15 disciplines with their biggest-ever contingent numbering 118, India hoped to go past their best ever tally of six medals in London 2012.

But the country stumbled on a tricky road in Rio when shooters fired a blank for the first time since Athens 2004, and boxers lacked punch, also a first in eight years.

A winner of eight gold medals, the Indian men's hockey team qualified for the quarterfinals for the first time in 36 years but could not progress further as it once again squandered a lead to go down 1-3 to Belgium.

Tennis continued to have its share of controversies when Leander Paes, an 18-time Grand Slam doubles winner making a record seventh appearance, turned up late for the men's doubles campaign with Rohan Bopanna.

The duo's lack of practice was evident when they made a first-round exit, and the women's doubles pair of Sania Mirza and Prarthana Thombare also followed suit.

Later, it was the mixed doubles pair of Sania and Bopanna who lifted India's medal hopes before losing to the Czech duo of Radek Stepanek and Lucie Hradecka in the bronze play-off.

It was a flop show in archery as Deepika Kumari once again failed to live up to the hype and made some costly blunders as the much-fancied women's team made a quarterfinal exit losing to Russia in a shoot-off.

The biggest disappointment was in shooting which had earned India two medals in London 2012, a historic individual gold by Abhinav Bindra in Beijing 2008, in their total count of four medals from the last three editions but they drew a blank in Rio.

World No.3 Jitu Rai provided the biggest hope to open India's medal tally in the 10m air pistol on the second day.

He started off under pressure in the 10m air pistol event and qualified for the final at sixth only to be the first to be eliminated, with an eighth position.

Next came his pet event of 50m pistol, an event in which he had won the World Cup gold in Bangkok this year, but Jitu's hopes were blown away by the wind.

Amid the gloom, Bindra, in his fifth and final Olympics, came closest to a medal but finished fourth after being edged out by 0.5 points in the shoot-off against eventual silver-medallist Serhiy Kulish of Ukraine.

There was disappointment from another senior pro Gagan Narang, who competed in three events of 50m rifle 3P, 50m rifle prone and 10m air rifle,. But the London Olympics bronze medallist failed to make an impression in any of them.

The likes of Heena Sidhu, Ayonika Paul, and Apurvi Chandela also failed to live up to the hype losing in the elimination stage.

National Rifle Association of India president Raninder Singh admitted in making a 'tactical blunder' by allowing personal coaches for the athletes. Just when the wait for a medal was becoming an intense pain and shame with four days left for the Olympics, a 23-year-old little-known wrestler from Rohtak fought like a tigress, even as others, including Yogeshwar Dutt,

On a day her more accomplished teammate Vinesh Phogat was reduced to tears following a ligament injury to her right knee that forced her to forfeit the quarterfinal bout to Sun Yanan of China in the 48kg freestyle, Sakshi fought back from 0-5 down to beat Aisuluu Tynybekova of Kyrgyzstan 8-5 in the 58kg category bronze medal match in repechage.

With the clock ticking away, a sensational Sakshi came from behind with a three-point move to clinch the issue as her opponent challenged for a review and heartbeats started pounding.

The decision went in India's favour and it was an overflow of joy and emotions as Sakshi was lifted by her coach Kuldeep Malik and the duo took a victory lap.

It culminated in the wrestler bending on her knee with the tri-colour wrapped around her, as if she was hiding her tears of joy in front of a packed Carioca Arena 2, in one of the defining moments of Indian sport.

The next day, Sindhu, continuing her giant-slaying run, breezed past world No.6 Nozomi Okuhara to assure India the first silver in badminton in the Olympics.

Coming into the tournament as world number 10, the 13th seed was a transformed player as she defeated three players ranking better than her.

Sindhu first ousted world number 8 Tzu Ying Tai in the pre-quarters and world number two Wang Yihan in the last eight but only to be halted by world number one Carolina Marina in a riveting women's singles final lasting one hour and 24 minutes.

She won the first game but the more experienced two time world champion returned stronger.

In men's hockey, India won against Ireland (3-2) and eventual gold-medallists Argentina (2-1) but lost two close encounters against reigning Olympic champions Germany (1-2) and silver-medallists Netherlands (1-2) before they were held to a 2-2 draw by minnows Canada in their last preliminary encounter.

They drew Belgium as their opponents in the quarters and lost comprehensively to make another early exit.

Making an Olympic appearance in 36 years, the Indian women's hockey team was beaten comprehensively by Australia (1-6), Great Britain (0-3) and USA (0-3) as they finished with one point, courtesy their 2-2 draw against Japan.

For a discipline that only had three participants with a non-existent federation, boxers showed some promise and Vikas Krishan provided a ray of hope before being outclassed in a tough quarterfinal match-up against Bektemir Melikuziev.

Among the other two, Shiva Thapa found himself in the tough half of the draw when he was pitted against Cuban defending champion Robeisy Ramirez who won by an unanimous decision in the first round of the 56kg bantamweight.

Manoj Kumar won his first round but lost to Uzbek's F Gaibnazarov in 64kg lightwelter in pre-quarters.

Archers were the first to land in Rio a month before the Games to acclimatise themselves to the conditions and maintained isolation but it hardly translated into performance as they failed to progress beyond quarters, while in individual sections Atanu Das, Deepika Kumari and Bombayla Devi made last 16 exits.

The women's team was fancied to return at least with a bronze and it showed promise leading 4-2 against Russia before being "blown away" by the winds, losing 4-5 in the shoot-off of the last eight.

For India, the seniormost Bombayla impressed the most with a total score of 72 from her eight arrows including three perfect 10, while Deepika flopped with a total of 69.

While Aditi impressed in women's golf, in the men's section SSP Chawrasia endured a horrendous final round of seven-over 78 to drop 28 places to finish tied 50th, while compatriot Anirban Lahiri closed with a 72 to be 57th in the sport that returned after 112 years.

In athletics, 27-year-old Lalita Babar of Maharashtra showed the way when she bettered her national record with a time of 9:19.76 to be ranked seventh in the women's 3000m steeplechase and make the final.

Lalita could not better her show in the final as she clocked 9:22.74 for a top-10 finish.

In the contingent's last on-field action, men marathoners T Gopi and Kheta Ram clocked personal best times of 2 hours, 15 minutes, 25 seconds and 2:15:26 to end up 25th and 26th respectively.

India also had participation in swimming, judo, rowing, table tennis and weightlifting where their performance was buried by the top competition.

The confirmation comes just a day after Samsung gave its first official demonstration of Samsung Pay, its own take on mobile payments which is built into its latest flagship handset, the Galaxy S6 and which will be going live in the US and in Korea in August.

Google has been attempting to get consumers to ditch their cards and use a smartphone to pay for goods in physical stores since the start of the decade with its Google Wallet app.

However, what makes Android Pay different is that it will be a feature that any app developer will be able to integrate into their titles for automatic wireless payment support.

During the announcement at the world's largest mobile and telecommunications event, Google refused to be drawn on specific details of Android Pay but did confirm that it would offer many of the features of Apple's system, Apple Pay, which has been grabbing headlines since it was launched in the US in October last year.

"We are very optimistic about where India is going and believe that the world is looking at the country enthusiastically. We see a lot of opportunity to do business in India and also Indian entrepreneurs can benefit by investing in South Carolina. We will focus on trying to find ways to build ties between the two nations," Haley said on the sidelines of a CII conference on 'Women in Leadership' here.
Haley said she has initiated talks with industries like, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, Information Technology, agriculture and auto among others.
"We have talked to all industries here to invest in to South Carolina, especially in  sectors like pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, Information Technology, agriculture," she said, adding that her state will help Indian players set up their business there.
The Governor also said she would like to take delegations from India to South Carolina to encourage investment. "I would like to take a delegation from here to my state to attract investment. We are looking to sign many Memoranda of Understanding with Indian Universities for research and training in the future," she said.
This is just the beginning of a relationship between India and South Carolina and initially the focus will be on what is similar between both the countries, she added.
Talking about leadership, Haley urged women to push their way out instead of pulling back when they are scared or nervous and assured them that this is the only way they can discover their true potential and be an inspiration for other women.

150 150 *pradt

alone (its orginal thai title is fadd (แฝด) which literally means ‘twins’ in english) tells a story a thai couples (ploy & vee) both working and living in korea. on one night, ploy receives an emergency phone call from thailand notified that her mother just had a stroke. ploy and vee then have to fly back immediately.

after a while, the film starts to tell the audience that ploy is used to be conjoined twins but she had the operation to seperate her and her sister when they were fifteen years old. the result of that operation led to her sister’s death. after arriving at her old house, she begins to feel that she has been watched. someone or something is staying beside her. she’s believing it must be her sister coming back from the dead to reclaim her life.

masha wattanapanich successfully portrays the role of conjoined twins with her exceptional acting skills. background music is just brilliant. special effects used in this film suits are all good, though many scenes are not so originals as many people who’ve seen it told me there’re several scenes that resembling to hollywood film ‘what lies beneath’ and korean film 장화, 홍련 (a tale of two sisters)… fortunately i’ve never seen ‘what lies beneath’ and i remembered turning off television after watching ‘장화, 홍련’ on dvd for 50 minutes because it was so boring. in fact, there’re very few originalities in horror films these days, so i wouldn’t mind watching the same effect which was previously used in other films if they can put it in the right moment like this one. personally i think it’s stupid if we’re going to watch a film to catch if the scenes we just saw were used in other films without really looking into the context of the whole film.

my most favorite scene is the scene where masha walking by the beach alone. it’s so thrilling! i would freak out if i was in that situation. another unforgetable scene is the sound of breathing.

in my opinion, the weak point of this film is the plot. there’re some unexplainable scenes. i believe 50% percent of the audience who constantly watch thriller / suspense / horror flicks would be able to figure out the ending after watching half of the film. there’s nothing seriously wrong with that. i just thought it would be great if they could add something more twisted, more unexpected.

though ‘alone’ can’t surpass their previous work titled ‘shutter’ but ‘alone’ is definitely can be called as a decent thriller film. recommend for all horror/thriller film lovers.

Lunch at the Tribeca Grill with: Jed Walentas

Published by The New York Sun on 2005-07-07

Jed Walentas is betting big on Brooklyn.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," he said. "It's a sensational opportunity. Brooklyn is going to explode."

The Walentas bet began 24 years ago as a relatively small wager - at least as far as real-estate deals go - when Jed's father, veteran developer David, bought 2.5 million square feet in a largely decrepit industrial area known as Dumbo, or Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass. He paid $12 million.

Mr. Walentas is, of course, pleased that his only child now manages Dumbo. Jed Walentas also runs their privately-held company, Two Trees Management, on a day to day basis. By the time Jed - who's in his early 30's - completes Dumbo's revival, and also the regeneration of large parts of nearby downtown Brooklyn - in about five years - the Walentases will have spent some $500 million.

It's a safe guess that David Walentas' original investment - in which Leonard and Ronald Lauder were partners - has already been recouped, probably several times over. Many of the 1,000 or so apartments that Jed is creating in the converted industrial buildings command more than $800 a square foot. Some of those buildings date back to the late 19th century, when Dumbo was bustling with commercial and industrial activity.

"Any great neighborhood in the world always has intersections of lots of forces, tastes, cultures, and preferences," Jed Walentas said. "My father invented the modern Dumbo, and I'm building on what he started. This is an evolving neighborhood - but our imprint will be here for a very long time."

That imprint - which has already transformed Dumbo into one of the city's most vibrant localities - was forged in much frustration and anxiety. David Walentas spent 17 years in trying to convince the city to rezone the area so that it could be put to use for residential purposes. Mayor Rudolph Giuliani was instrumental in pushing through the rezoning in 1997.

By that time Jed Walentas had graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, with a degree in economics. But economics nor real estate wasn't where his true interest lay. It was in sports writing. He'd served as sports editor of the campus newspaper, The Daily Pennsylvanian. A job as a sportswriter awaited him at the New York Post.

"I decided to go with Donald instead," Mr. Walentas said.

"Donald," of course, was Donald Trump, who was so taken with Mr. Walentas' enthusiasm and ability to learn fast that he assigned him to a prime property that The Trump Organization was developing. The building was 40 Wall Street, which eventually became the first commercial edifice in New York to be fully wired for the Internet. Jed Walentas supervised much of the construction.

Then came a call from his father. David Walentas thought that he was now in a position to carry out his plans for Dumbo, a waterfront area between the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges. A Scottish immigrant businessman named Robert Gair had originally built industrial structures there, including one containing a cardboard box factory which made a fortune for him. Indeed, the area was often referred to as Gairville.

But the neighborhood had deteriorated since Gair's time. There were artists who squatted in abandoned units. Dumbo's dark and winding streets were sometimes used by mobsters to dump bodies of the people they didn't get along with.

The Walentas' first conversion project in Dumbo was the Clock Tower Building, at One Main Street. They created 124 luxury condominiums in the 250,000 square foot structure in under a year. They raised a new 12-story building containing 54 apartments. They assembled 200 high-class apartments in three vacant loft buildings. And they upgraded 500,000 square feet for artist studios and commercial offices.

A lucky streak came along. Stratospheric prices in Manhattan were forcing New Yorkers to look elsewhere; Dumbo's neighbor, Brooklyn Heights, had already regained its residential glory of a long-ago era - but property prices were edging upward to Manhattan levels. A buzz developed about Dumbo. The celebrated chocolatier Jacques Torres opened a store-cum-factory. Laudatory articles appeared in trade publications.

And Dumbo was on its way to becoming an urban legend.

That status most certainly will be burnished as a waterfront park opens. Mr. Walentas is convinced that through the peculiar but intangible process by which people from different parts of the city relate to one another, Dumbo will "connect" to downtown Manhattan, which officials also want to develop further.

So what's it been like to generate that connection, beyond the long hours and the daily administrative burdens of running a real-estate company in New York?

"It takes patience," Mr. Walentas said. "It takes long-term commitment to revive a neighborhood. Of course, it takes capital - and here we've been fortunate. And it takes a certain kind of dedication to the belief that the architecture of a historic neighborhood should be preserved in all its variety. I think we've done that. There's a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment in that."

Dons come from behind to get convincing victory

After falling a goal behind, the Santa Barbara High girls soccer team came back to defeat Moorpark 3-1 at home.

Katie Josef broke through with the team’s first goal in the 55th minute. Jackie Lopez grabbed the lead in the 65th minute, and just three minutes later, Megan Flynn put the game out of reach.

The Santa Barbara back four was organized and focused and showed no signs of letting Moorpark back into the game once the Dons had the lead.

Daniel Smith had an excellent work rate up top, as she chased down and put pressure on Moorpark’s defense in her team’s impressive come-from-behind victory.

Santa Barbara (3-1-1) will continue its season at home against Santa Paula on Thursday.
