  • Get your very own droid companion with the authentic Sphero BB-8 Droid.

    This is the Droid™ you're looking for

    The Sphero BB8 is your personal robot companion that moves just like the lovable droid first seen in Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer. BB-8 can explore your home autonomously, or you can take the lead and control him from your smartphone or tablet.

    Simply download the app to an Android or iOS mobile device to get started. The app includes a quick guide to get you up and rolling in seconds, so don't worry if BB-8 is the first droid you've owned.

    The app gives you plenty of options to keep your new companion occupied: you can guide BB-8 around your home, send it out on patrol and ask it to hide in case of danger.

    Authentic personality

    BB-8's personality and actions evolve as it spends more time with you. As BB-8 patrols your home it makes a map of its route, noting dangers it comes across (a chair leg, the cat's bed, storm troopers etc) and avoids them in the future.

    BB-8 perks up and shows a range of emotions and expressions when you give voice commands - it gets scared when you ask it to hide and shows excitement when you wake it up from charge.

    Holographic messaging

    What's a droid without a holoprojector? BB-8 can play holographic messages recorded using the front-facing camera on your smartphone or tablet. When you press play, just point the camera at BB-8 to see your message as a hologram on your device's screen.

    Control your very own Droid with Star Wars Sphero BB-8.

How nice that we have the opportunity to vote for yet another dedicated tax, the sugar tax, which will pay for even more junk mail and additional Boulder government propaganda. Plus, of course, more City staff.

If the income from this tax went into the general fund or even towards the never-ending municipalization fight, that would be a slight improvement. But it doesn't.

Want to suggest to the next Council that they rethink this sort of thing? Vote no for the sugar tax and yes for term limits.

Cebu Pacific launches flights from KL to Cebu
Published on: Tuesday, December 11, 2012

Kuala Lumpur: Philippines largest national flag carrier, Cebu Pacific (CEB), has expanded its regional network from Cebu with the launch of direct twice weekly service to here.

In a statement Monday, CEB said it started operating the Tuesday and Saturday services from Cebu to here on Dec 8, 2012.

The maiden flight will leave Cebu at 4.45 pm and arrive here at 8.10pm.

The return flight will depart Cebu at 8.55 pm and arrive at 12.20 am the next day, it said.

It said the year-round fares for this route would start at RM395.

"CEB also flies from here to Manila daily and from Kota Kinabalu to Manila thrice weekly," it said.

CEB vice-president for marketing and distribution, Candice Iyog, said Cebu was well-known for its colourful festivals, diverse marine life, pristine beaches and rich history.

She said CEB was happy to offer travellers from Malaysia even more opportunities to visit the province, especially with its trademark lowest fares and direct flights.

"We look forward to working with our tourism and travel partners for a fruitful direct linkage between Kuala Lumpur and Cebu," she said.

Meanwhile, Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd general manager of marketing, Mohamed Sallauddin Mat Sah, said MAHB was confident this operation would meet great success with the abundance of tourism opportunities between Malaysia and Philippines. - Bernama

She can do it all! Working mom Hilaria Baldwin takes her son Rafael for a stroll before heading to the studio to film Extra

She just gave birth to her third child Leo Ángel last month.

But on Tuesday Hilaria Baldwin proved she is not only a yoga adept but also a master of juggling as she took her middle child Rafael out for walk in New York before heading to the studio to film Extra.

Mrs Alec Baldwin was spotted having a stroll in the West Village neighbourhood of Manhattan with her one-year-old son before performing duties as TV host.

Mummy and me: On Tuesday, Hilaria Baldwin was spotted in the West Village walking her one-year-old son Rafael in his pram

Despite her penchant for showing off her enviably trim post-baby body on Instagram, she kept it largely concealed in a flowing grey top. The top was, however, sheer enough to betray a hint of her bra.

Black sunglasses were perched on her face, and a breeze blew back her voluminous hair to expose her glinting earrings.

Two pendants dangled from her neck, and her purple handbag was slung on the side of the blue Inglesina pram that held the baby she delivered last June.

Juggling act: The mother of three was seen later that day performing her hosting duties for Extra in NYC

The new big brother: On September 12, the 32-year-old gave birth to her second son and third child, Leo Ángel

Amassing the brood: She and her husband Alec Baldwin also have a three-year-old daughter called Carmen

Not one to waste time, she gave birth to her latest child this September 12, when Rafael was only 15 months old.

She and Saturday Night Live's new Donald Trump also have a daughter called Carmen, who was born in August 2013.

The 58-year-old married his 32-year-old paramour in 2012. Before that, he had a now 20-year-old daughter called Ireland by way of his nine-year marriage to Kim Basinger.

Tell me more: Hilaria interviewed Kelly Clarkson on Tuesday

A desire to prove your love to the important people in your life can motivate you to opulence today. You may feel that the best way to demonstrate your affection would be to give lavish gifts or make grand gestures of affection. After a time, you will likely settle into a pattern of nurturance that allows you to connect with your loved ones on a more intimate level. Friends and family can see the intensity of your love in your willingness to prepare a shared meal, lend a helping hand, or offer a shoulder to cry on. The accommodations you make for others today can help you ensure that your loved ones are happy, healthy, and contented.

The small gestures of goodwill we perform can go a long way toward showing the people we care about how much we love and respect them. While many people concentrate the whole of their attention on large gestures of affection, the warmth that comes into our lives in minute yet regular doses tends to make a more lasting impression. When we are generous with our time, energy, and tenderness, we cannot help but communicate the strength of our feeling. Our loved ones are never for a moment without reassurance that they are always in our thoughts. Consequently, opulent displays of affection become an unnecessary part of our relationships that we need only employ when inclined by feeling to do so. As you nurture the people you care for today, they will be reminded of the special place they occupy in your heart.

Professional skateboarder Dylan Rieder has tragically died at the age of 28 following his battle with leukemia.

The extreme sports star - who also modelled with Cara Delevingne in the past - passed away from complications related to the illness on Wednesday.

"Today, October 12th, 2016, surrounded by family and friends, Dylan Joseph Rieder passed away due to complications with Leukemia. His passion for life, art, music, fashion and skateboarding has always been contagious," read a family statement posted on Jenkem Magazine's Facebook page.

"Dylan will be remembered by all as a loving son, brother and friend. In lieu of sending flowers, the family requests donations be made in Dylan's memory to Dr. Stephen Forman."

Fans and peers were quick to pay tribute to the man once dubbed the 'most handsome man in skateboarding', describing him as a "really nice person".

Ozzy Osbourne shared a snap of the pair together, and wrote: "Dylan Rieder. One of the most talent & brave men. I feel blessed to have known you.

"Rest In Peace Dylan. My love & condolences to his family"

A&R producer Dante Ross tweeted: "Rest in Power Dylan Rieder gone way too soon a style master and really nice person.

"My deepest condolences to his close friends and family...Things don't make sense god ain't always fair and thats 1 of the only things I know is a fact in the lifetime."

Growing up in Wesminster, California, Dylan started skating aged 9 and went on to be sponsored by major skate houses like Birdhouse and Quicksilver.

In 2014, he modeled with Cara and Jourdan in DKNY's spring 2014 campaign - and had recently revealed he was planning a return to skateboarding.

Bonus MP3: Nicholas Altobelli -- "Wooden Floors"

Nicholas Altobelli
Nicholas Altobelli
Alisha Hurt

In this week's paper, Kelly Dearmore holds Nicholas Altobelli's latest, The Regulator, up to the light for a closer look and comes out finding the disc "rather agreeable" and a fine step along the artists "continued development."

It's a fair take on the disc, actually. Accurate, too. I'd agree, at least--especially about the fact that, as Dearmore writes, there are many times in which Altobelli he seems to outthink himself and allows his vast ideas to become too cumbersome.

But here's the thing: Dude's swinging for the fences every time. And sometimes he does just that. Case in point: "Wooden Floors," the lead track off his new album. It's a great, restrained, delicately and tastefully garnished folker well worth the listen.

Even better: Altobelli's been nice enough to let DC9 readers listen and download to the song for all of free dollars. Grab it right after the jump.

Upcoming Events

Bonus mp3: Nicholas Altobelli -- "Wooden Floors"

And Dearmore's right, too: That opening line--"Rain cuts like glass, wind moves souls"--is a winner. Whole song is, really. Kinda justifies the whole swing-for-the-fences mentality, far as I'm concerned.

Yesterday at NX35: Neon Indian at Rubber Gloves

Alan Palomo with... wait, is that a rainbow in his eye????
Alan Palomo with... wait, is that a rainbow in his eye????
Patrick Michels

Band: Neon Indian
Venue: Rubber Gloves
Time: 12:30 a.m.

In September of last year, as mega-hyped area band Neon Indian prepared its debut smash full-length, Psychic Chasms, the band debuted its live show with a gig at Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studios. It didn't go so great.

Now, having spent the past six months touring--and, y'know, playing the late night TV circuit and all, too--the band returned to RGRS last night and wowed a one-in-one-out crowed with a more polished, more energetic, and all-together better live performance.

And it was a highly anticipated show, too: By 9 p.m., even, there was a line forming outside Rubber Gloves; by 10, it was one-in-one-out to get in; and, for the rest of the night, that's how it stayed.

Upcoming Events

Neon Indian's show was the busiest RGRS had been all throughout the NX35 festival (with Saturday night's Telegraph Canyon show coming in at a very close second, to be fair). And the band responded by playing its usual up-beat and catchy set, and gleefully performing uber-hits like  "Deadbeat Summer" and "Should Have Taken Acid With You." The band was clearly more comfortable in Gloves this time around: At one point in the night, Palomo even joked to the audience that no one in the press had yet called him out for sampling Mega Man 2 for "6699 (I Don't Know If You Know)."

By the end of the set, which closed with regular show-ender "Ephemeral Artery," the crowd was keyed up and wanting more. Palomo and his band obliged, performing an encore of "No Reasons," the highly danceable hit from Palomo's other popular outfit, VEGA. And, according to Palomo, VEGA will be done with its debut in May.

Dallas woman stars as lesbian face of Avon in Super Bowl ad

Posted on 29 Jan 2009 at 7:21pm
By Tammye Nash Senior Editor

Local sales rep entered business after adopting kids with partner

Daryn DeZengotita

Avon and lesbian: Not two words you’d usually expect to hear in the same sentence.

But that’s only if you don’t know Daryn DeZengotita.

DeZengotita, of Dallas, is one of five Avon sales representatives chosen about two years ago to serve as the "faces of Avon" around the world in an advertising and marketing campaign. Now that commercial is going to get one of the largest television audiences of the year when it airs Sunday, Feb. 1, during the Super Bowl.

"It was about two years ago that I was selected to audition for — and got a part in — some national TV commercials for Avon," DeZengotita said this week. "There are a million Avon representatives in the United States. Fifty of those were chosen to audition, and 10 were selected to be in the commercials."

That’s a pretty exclusive club. But DeZengotita got to take it one step further.
Of the 10 women chosen for the commercials, five were selected to appear in Avon’s global marketing campaign aimed at recruiting new sales reps. DeZengotita was one of the five.

Then last fall, she and one other woman were asked to return to the studio to shoot some extra scenes for a new launch of the commercial and the recruiting effort.

"It was right before Thanksgiving that they called and said they were recutting the commercial to specifically target the issues with the economy right now," she explained. "They wanted to tell people that if you’re worried about [the downturn] in the economy and are looking for a way to make extra money, now is the perfect time to become an Avon representative," DeZengotita said.

The recruitment campaign turned out to be "wildly successful," she said, prompting the cosmetics company to purchase advertising time during the Super Bowl this weekend. It will be the second commercial spot after Jennifer Hudson — "who is also a spokeswoman for Avon" — sings the National Anthem.

"It’s been rumored that it will also run during the halftime show. But I have been told that isn’t true," DeZengotita noted.

DeZengotita said she is starting her eighth year as an Avon sales representative, and that she started working with the company as a way to maintain income while at the same time spending more time at home with her partner, Celia Barshop, and their two adopted sons, who are now ages 7 and 8.

"It’s the typical Avon story," she said. "I had my own business in the IT industry.

But then my partner and I adopted our children, and I realized I needed something much more flexible. In my old business, if my customer’s e-mail went down and I wasn’t immediately available because I had a sick kid at home, they were not very happy about it. Now, if I can’t deliver a customer’s lipstick right away because I need to be at home with a sick child, my customers understand that. They are OK with that."

For some Avon reps, selling cosmetics is a part-time job; for some it’s less of a job, really, and more of a hobby.

But DeZengotita, it’s a full-time business that she takes very seriously. She even operates her own retail Avon store — "which is unusual in our business" — and she "runs herd on about 100 other Avon ladies."

And with her part in the advertising and recruitment campaign, DeZengotita is a very prominent "face" for the company. So, has her sexual orientation been any kind of stumbling block to her advancement within the Avon ranks? Absolutely not, she said.

"When I went in for the initial auditions, they had us all in this big holding room, waiting our turn. When people would finish and come back out, everyone would ask, ‘What kind of questions are they asking you? What do they want to know?’ And they would say, ‘Oh, they asked me a lot of questions about my family, things like what my husband does and how he is involved in my Avon business.’

"I heard that, and I immediately thought, ‘Uh-oh.’ So when it was my turn to go in, first thing I said was, ‘I am gay, and I am not careful with my pronouns.’ They busted out laughing. They asked me all kinds of questions about my family and my partner and our children," DeZengotita said. "It [her sexual orientation] has been the biggest non-issue, and they have shown absolutely no hesitation whatsoever in promoting me as the face of Avon around the world."

DeZengotita said she hasn’t made much of a big deal over being such a visible part of Avon’s global marketing campaign so far. But with the ad set to air during the Super Bowl on Sunday, she decided to speak up.

"I think it is kind of a big deal," she said. "It shows that we [as LGBT people] really are everywhere. We are even the face of Avon."

Skrillex’s ‘Bangarang’ EP will bring dubstep joy to your holidays (review)

Item Image

It was a little over a year ago that Sonny Moore independently released the My Name is Skrillex EP for free. In the months that followed, the EDM landscape was permanently changed. Millions of newcomers were drawn to his unique sound, rock-like stage presence, and bad haircut. Love him or hate him, Skrillex has shown time and again that his production skills are impeccable, his energy unmatched, and his artistic vision inspiring.

The Bangrang EP is 7 track collection of eclectic, genre-bending productions. While not as impressive as Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites, this EP is just the sort of heavy-hitting, yet melodic, fare we’ve come to expect out of this young producer. With incredible collaborations alongside Wolfgang Gartner, Kill The Noise, 12th Planet, and The Doors (not to mention the insanely addictive title track) Skrillex has once again proven that he is at the top of his game. As his sound continues to evolve and grow we can’t wait to see what he has in store for 2012. But we just have one question, where are “Voltage” and “True Gangsters?”

Full review after the break.

1. Skrillex – Right In (Original Mix) 140 BPM, 9A

“Right In” is the type of track we’ve come to expect from Sonny Moore.  The high energy wobbles are complimented with a melodic synth and Skrillex’s signature high-pitched vocals. At around 1:20 the track reaches critical mass as Sonny subtly samples the sounds of cheering fans behind the driving bass line.

2. Skrillex – Bangarang feat. Sirah (Original Mix) 110 BPM, 6A

The title track is the stand out production on this EP.  At 110 BPM the moombahton influence is undeniable and works perfectly with the familiar Skrillex sound. “Bangarang” opens with a rock star guitar riff while Sirah inspires listeners to get rowdy. It builds quickly and drops relentlessly; this one is destined to be a festival tent destroyer.

3. Skrillex and The Doors – Breakn’ A Sweat (Original Mix) 140 BPM, 9A

“Breakn’ A Sweat” is interesting and inspired, although at times a bit hard to swallow. We aren’t sure how we feel about the crossover, but the one thing we do know is that to take a classic, renowned rock group and fuse their sound with this extremely contemporary style of music is something that has never been done before. It’s testament to the evolution that EDM as a whole has seen in the last few years and is another step towards complete mainstream acceptance.

4. Skrillex and Wolfgang Gartner – The Devil’s Den  128 BPM, 4A

“The Devil’s Den” is the most evenly balanced collaboration in this package. Both Skrillex and Wolfgang are two of the most talented producers in dubstep and electro, so it’s no surprise that their first collaboration reflects their talents. “The Devil’s Den” is the perfect fusion of both sounds, with both artists contributions equally recognizable yet harmonious. It’s not just a track, but an actual symphony. Don’t believe us? Put on a decent pair of headphones and crank this one, you won’t be disappointed.

5. Skrillex, 12th Planet, and Kill The Noise – Right On Time (Original Mix) 140 BPM, 5A

Barely recognizable as a Skrillex track, “Right On Time” feels more like a 12th Planet and Kill the Noise collaboration. Up until the final 30 seconds Sonny’s presence is nowhere to be found, at which point it is brief and immediately forgettable. It’s a much less complex than the usual Skrillex productions and is the weakest track on this EP.

6. Skrillex – Kyoto feat. Sirah (Original Mix) 117 BPM, 11A

We had a hard time assigning a rating to “Kyoto” simply because Skrillex fans have heard this track with different vocals countless times before. Originally leaked as “Ruff Neck Bass” months ago, the drop on this track is monstrously aggressive. For us, this could have been a 4 star track but we prefer the original’s “Are you ready for the ruff neck bass?” as opposed to Sirah’s juvenile rapping.

7. Summit feat. Ellie Goulding (Original Mix) 93 BPM, 2B

Originally called “Breathe,” tracks like “Summit” prove that Skrillex isn’t a one trick pony. Ellie Goulding lends her incredibly beautiful voice to the most mellow track on this EP. This one will appeal to the non-dubsteppers in our audience, it is a relaxing and entrancing track, perfect for nursing those Sunday hangovers.

Editor’s Note: Confused about the numbers? We thought it would be a nice touch to include the BPM and key of the tracks for the DJs in our audience.

Alexandra Ford will run a half-marathon almost a year after the passing of Victor "Andy" Andres Pena, a 14-year-old Darien freshman who died last March 25 from undiagnosed myocarditis, a heart infection.

Come March 10, Alex will run 13.1 miles in the Celebrate Life Half-Marathon in Rock Hill, N.Y., to raise $3,000 and awareness for the Myocarditis Foundation.

"I just found out the theme and it reminded me so much of Andy and the date was really close to the anniversary of his death," she said. The 16-year-old Darien High School junior never has completed a half-marathon before; the farthest she has run is 9 miles.

Alex ran track with Andy. The pair also created the Freethinkers Group, a club where students gather to discuss controversial topics.

In September 2012, Alex was interested in running a half-marathon when she stumbled across the Celebrate Life Half-Marathon and she knew she had found the race to run.

Normally, funds that are raised are donated to Citizens Reunited to Overcome Cancer for cancer research. However, Alex has opted to privately raise money to be donated to the Myocarditis Foundation, the only nonprofit organization to direct all its proceeds to awareness and research of myocarditis.

More Information

Fact box

She raised $650 in the last month, and she's hopeful about achieving her goal.

"If we can get that in less than a month, we can certainly raise the money in two more months if we put in more effort," Alex said.

Andy, who was also a swimmer, died suddenly of cardiac arrest after running a mile on a treadmill in Boston before attending a swim meet. It was later determined that he had an undiagnosed case of myocarditis. Andy showed no signs of symptoms prior to his death, according to his mother, Giovanna Pena.

Myocarditis, according to the foundation, is marked by inflammation and damage to the heart muscles. Most cases have no symptoms, which can only be identified by an electrocardiogram or by blood tests to detect any traces of heart injury.

Because of the disease's rarity, more research is needed to determine the best way to diagnose myocarditis.

After her initial research, Alex contacted Giovanna Pena to fill her in on her upcoming plans.

"I was very impressed," Giovanna said. "I knew that they have been very close up to the day that I lost my son."

She added that Alex took Andy's passing "very hard" and remained in contact with the Penas.

"I got to know her nature, her passions and how sensitive and how compassionate a woman she was," Giovanna said. "She was very attentive to us in the beginning of the grieving process."

Giovanna wishes that she could be in attendance the day of the race, but her other son is a swimmer as well and potentially has a race the same day.

However, all of the work that Alex has done is important to Giovanna.

"When we see that he in a way affected people and he touched people and that he inspired people so much, it's very comforting," she said.; 203-972-4407; @Meg_DarienNews

MIDDLESBROUGH boss Aitor Karanka has laid on some extra shooting practice this week in an attempt to end the worst goalless run in English football.

It is 704 minutes since Emmanuel Ledesma became the last Boro player to find the back of the net in a competitive fixture, a barren sequence that has spanned more than seven matches and seen the Teessiders tumble into the bottom half of the Championship table.

Today’s home game with Ipswich Town provides the latest opportunity to break the duck, and Karanka has tweaked his midweek training schedule to give his players the best possible opportunity of improving their performance in front of goal.

There has been an increased focus on finishing, and having seen his side improve their defending after struggling to keep a clean sheet earlier in the season, the Boro boss is hoping to see a similar turnaround at the opposite end of the field.

“We have made some changes on the training ground, although it is not as though we have changed things 100 per cent,” said Karanka. “Clearly, we need to change something because things are not working at the moment, but that doesn’t mean ripping everything apart and starting again.

“Earlier in the season, we were conceding a lot of goals from set-pieces, but we worked and worked at it, and things improved. Now, we are trying to do the same with the finishing.

“Every week, we are focusing on the finishing and because of that, I am sure improvements will come. There are things we need to improve, and we are trying to do that.”

For all that they have failed to find the target since the middle of January, it is not as though Boro have been fielding negative formations devoid of attacking intent.

Kei Kamara and Danny Graham both started last weekend’s 1-0 defeat at Sheffield Wednesday, with Curtis Main joining them for the final quarter-of-an-hour from the bench, and all three forwards were in the starting line-up for the previous game against Leeds United.

With the likes of Albert Adomah and Jacob Butterfield also involved, it is hard to see how Karanka could throw many more attacking players on to the field without damaging his side’s overall shape.

It is equally difficult to see how a radical change in formation could improve Boro’s goal threat, although the Teessiders’ Spanish boss concedes there are improvements his players could make to enhance their threat in the opposition penalty area.

“People are talking about the need to play with strikers, but we are doing that,” said Karanka. “At Watford, we played with Kei Kamara, Curtis Main and Danny Graham, and also had Muzzy Carayol on the pitch at the same time. That is a lot of attacking players.

“In the last game, we finished the game with Kei, Danny and Curtis all playing. It is not as though we are not playing with positive players. I am not afraid to play with four, five or six strikers if the situation calls for it. The lack of goals is not down to that.

“Sometimes, it is a matter of luck, as proved by the last game where Butterfield’s shot was over the line and should have been awarded. But sometimes, it is down to concentration and making mistakes.

“There have been times when the concentration has not been right. I would be more concerned if we were not creating chances, but we are. The goals will come.”

The return of Mustapha Carayol could make a difference, with the winger expected to return to the squad for today’s game.

Having criticised Carayol in the dressing room in the wake of last month’s 1-0 defeat at Watford, Karanka questioned the winger’s attitude after he was omitted from the squad for the Leeds game.

There was no recall for last weekend’s game at Hillsborough, but having impressed on the training ground this week, Carayol is set to at least make the substitutes’ bench this afternoon.

“I have been pleased with his reaction,” said Karanka. “He has had a very good response and I have been happy with him. When Muzzy trains well, he is an important player for us, and so I am pleased with the way he has been in the last few days.”

Dimi Konstantopoulos is expected to start in goal in the absence of the injured Tomas Mejias, while Kenneth Omeruo and Ben Gibson could play alongside each other at the heart of the back four with Jonathan Woodgate ruled out because of injury.

Dean Whitehead is suspended after his dismissal at Hillsborough, so Grant Leadbitter should return to the starting line-up after he was surprisingly demoted to the bench seven days ago.

Darwin Correspondence Project

To Ernst Haeckel 12 April [1867]1

Down. | Bromley. | Kent. S.E.

Ap 12.

My dear Sir

I hope you have returned home well in health, & that you have reaped a rich harvest in natural science.2 I have been intending for some time to write to you about your great work, of which I have lately been reading a good deal.3 But it makes me almost mad with vexation that I am able to read imperfectly only 2 or 3 pages at a time. The whole book wd be infinitely interesting & useful to me. What has struck me most is the singular clearness with which all the lesser principles & the general philosophy of the subject have been thought out by you & methodically arranged. Your criticism on the struggle for existence offers a good instance how much clearer your thoughts are than mine.4

Your whole discussion on dysteologie has struck me as particularly good.5 But it is hopeless to specify this or that part; the whole seems to me excellent. It is equally hopeless to attempt thanking you for all the honours with which you so repeatedly crown me. I hope that you will not think me impertinent if I make one criticism: some of your remarks on various authors seem to me too severe; but I cannot judge well on this head from being so poor a German scholar. I have however heard complaints from several excellent authorities & admirers of your work on the severity of your criticisms.6 This seems to me very unfortunate for I have long observed that much severity leads the reader to take the side of the attacked person. I can call to mind distinct instances in which severity produced directly the opposite effect to what was intended. I feel sure that our good friend Huxley,7 though he has much influence, wd have had far more if he had been more moderate & less frequent in his attacks. As you will surely play a great part in science, let me as an older man earnestly beg you to reflect on what I have ventured to say. I know that it is easy to preach & if I had the power of writing with severity I dare say I shd triumph in turning poor devils inside out & exposing all their imbecility. Nevertheless I am convinced that this power does no good, only causes pain. I may add that as we daily see men arriving at opposite conclusions from the same premises it seems to me doubtful policy to speak too positively on any complex subject however much a man may feel convinced of the truth of his own conclusions. Now can you forgive me for my freedom? Though we have met only once I write to you as to an old friend, for I feel thus towards you.

With respect to my own book on Variation under domestication I am making slow, but sure progress in correcting the proofs. I fear that it will interest you but little, & you will be struck how badly I have arranged some of the subjects which you have discussed. The chief use of my book will be in the large accumulation of facts by which certain propositions are I think established. I have indulged in one lengthened hypothesis, but whether this will interest you or any one else, I cannot even conjecture.8

I hope before long you will write to me & tell me how you are & what you have been doing & believe me my dear Häckel yours very sincerely | Ch. Darwin

The year is established by the reference to CD’s working on the page-proofs of Variation (see CD’s ‘Journal’ (Appendix II)).
Haeckel had spent from November 1866 to March 1867 travelling and doing research on Tenerife and Lanzarote (see Haeckel 1867; see also letter from Ernst Haeckel, 12 May 1867).
CD had received a copy of Haeckel’s Generelle Morphologie (Haeckel 1866) in late 1866 (see letter to Ernst Haeckel, 8 January 1867). There is an annotated copy in the Darwin Library–CUL (see Marginalia 1: 355–7).
CD wrote in his copy of Haeckel 1866, 2: 239: ‘good criticism on my term of struggle for existence—says ought to be confined to struggle between organisms for the same end—all other cases are dependance—Misseltoe depends on apple’ (Marginalia 1: 356).
Haeckel discussed dysteleology (‘the study of functionless rudimentary organs in animals and plants’: Chambers) in Haeckel 1866, 2: 266–85; these pages are annotated in CD’s copy in the Darwin Library–CUL (see Marginalia 1: 356–7). CD cited Haeckel for his discussion of rudimentary organs in Descent 1: 17.
CD had received letters criticising Haeckel 1866 from Julius Victor Carus and Fritz Müller (see letter from J. V. Carus, 5 April 1867, and letter to J. V. Carus, 11 April [1867] and n. 7).
Thomas Henry Huxley and Haeckel corresponded with one another; see Uschmann and Jahn 1959–60.
CD refers to Variation, and to his ‘provisional hypothesis of pangenesis’ (Variation 2: 357–404).

Struck by singular clarity of EH’s Generelle Morphologie. Remarks on various authors seem too severe. Severity leads the reader to take the side of the attacked person.

Making slow progress in correcting Variation.

Photo: Guest Post: Luke Doucet shares his thoughts on climate change

Musician Luke Doucet believes trusting science is essential for any climate change discussion (Credit: EVIL Patrick)

Luke Doucet is a Hamilton-based singer-songwriter-guitar player who has recently been touring with his band, the White Falcon, for the release of the band's latest album, Steel City Trawler. He has also played guitar for Sarah McLachlan and other well-known Canadian musicians and was bandleader of the "experimental post-surf-rock indie" band Veal.

He believes that being an artist carries with it a responsibility to communicate to audiences about socio-political issues.

"As a singer-songwriter, my thoughts on various socio-political themes tend to inform my work, so it only makes sense that I would consider those themes carefully," he said in an email interview. "Having an audience does carry with it a responsibility to communicate as thoughtfully as possible, especially if the content of your work is at times topical."

Being on tour also has him thinking about the environment. "As musicians, we do consider environmental choices in our daily lives, although as the recording industry continues to wane, the touring component of what we do has taken centre stage, and touring—especially in Canada—is environmentally challenged."

But it's not just being a musician that compels him to speak out about the "misguided mistrust of science and rationalism ... encouraged by the mainstream media in the U.S., in particular". "As a father, I think we owe it to our children to make an effort to leave this place as we found it... or better," he said.

In between gigs, Luke Doucet took the time to write his thoughts about climate change to share in this David Suzuki Foundation guest blog.

By Luke Doucet

The New Year is upon us. The Cancun Climate Conference came and went. Targets have been altered, ignored, contested; backs got slapped, platitudes exchanged. Canada's obstructionist policies have been derided by progressive realists far and wide as we again deferred to our conservative neighbours to the south by hitching our wagon to their far more cumbersome and ideologically driven horse. With the house of representatives now firmly in GOP control, we can only expect the policies we have committed to hiding behind to be more regressive and denier-friendly than they were in the past few years—to say nothing of the past decade.

Since our current government has chosen not to exercise our national autonomy and sovereignty by honouring the Kyoto protocol (or at least providing a true alternative (i.e., "made in Canada" solution) but instead to linger in the shadow of U.S. policy, we need to examine why that policy appears so reluctant to recognize the catastrophe that climate change almost certainly is. In the wake of the so-called "climategate" scandal, we have seen the wholesale character assassination of a community that ought to be valued as our strongest and most trustworthy when trying to decipher reality from the barrage of talking heads and 24-hour news cycle pundits, particularly when attempting to establish basic truths regarding science. The precedent that has been set—being that it is now generally acceptable to scoff at science and scientists as if they were just another group with a self serving vested interest—is terribly misguided and damaging.

The scientists at the heart of climategate have been cleared of any wrongdoing, and any serious person would have to recognize that we are (still) right back where we were pre-climategate: the Earth is warming and the vast majority of climate scientists agree that the cause is anthropogenic (human-caused). When scientists from the University of East Anglia were exonerated in summer 2010, that story was reported in the usual places. The Huffington Post, the Globe & Mail, the Guardian, and others ran stories, but the mainstream media in the U.S. largely ignored, or at least buried, this news event. If the population at large was bombarded with as much media surrounding the exoneration as they were surrounding the initial witch-hunt, public opinion would be very different and so then would be U.S. climate policy.

Even "progressives" in our midst are now prone to suggesting things like "Well, science isn't the holy grail. It constantly changes and one's faith in science is comparable to another's faith in religion," for example. I have been hearing such things with enough regularity that I can only conclude the PR campaign being waged by industries committed to the status quo (oil, gas, automotive, religion, etc.) is far more sinister and effective than we may be aware. What is needed is the restoration of dignity to the only institutions, people, and—most significantly—methodologies that are capable of separating what IS from what IS NOT in the arena of climate and the degree to which it may—or may not—be changing. And they are all, without exception, operating in the realm of science. The emphasis on findings and interpretations by actual experts has never been so essential. We live in a time when every one of us can find what appears to be solid evidence for whichever position we choose to take. Two minutes with a search engine will yield mountains of "evidence" for everything from ESP to religious miracles to conspiracies of all kinds. While this can be seen to have a democratizing effect on the exchange of ideas, it only makes pseudo science that much more dangerous and attractive to us, the lay people.

Let us suppose that the scientists from the University of East Anglia had truly fudged numbers and willfully deceived people, rather than simply use language that, when taken out of context, had the appearance of deception. Would that constitute a game-changing indictment of the findings of the overwhelming majority of the global climate science community and therefore relegate the findings of the IPCC to the annals of junk science? No. For one, we are talking about a tiny group of scientists among thousands. The National Academies of Science in virtually all of the world's developed countries agree that climate change is happening and is anthropogenic. For two, what would have been evident if accusations of number fudging were founded at all would simply be that humans are fallible. We get politicized and fired up, and sometimes we are partisan before impartial. If there were legitimacy behind "climategate", all we would know is that climate scientists are as prone to manipulating data as those on the payrolls of multinational corporations, who pay them huge sums of money to "find" evidence that business as usual is fine and we need not act in haste to clean up our mess.

Those on the right side of the political/environmental divide have presented the following as a motive for scientists to lie en mass about climate change: They are all part of a massive conspiracy of burying the truth so as to continue pursuing and collecting government grants.

I find this especially baffling as I cannot see what the incentive might be for governments to desire an alarmist global warming conclusion. Why would governments award grants to those who find evidence for anthropogenic climate change? We now find ourselves in the most vulnerable economic time since the 1920s. What could our government possibly stand to gain by adding billions of dollars worth of environmental regulations and conditions to our already embattled manufacturing and resource industries? It is plain that elected officials would be far more interested in finding that everything is okay; we don't need to revamp our auto sector; we don't need to replace coal power stations with expensive alternative energy sources; we needn't bother building bike lanes in Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, or Calgary because cars and cities and futures are just fine as they are. Surely in the worst economic times in a century, "business as usual" would be the most desirable conclusion the world's democratic governments could reach.

Science has not yielded bullet-proof findings in all disciplines because scientists are human, fallible, imperfect, and constantly learning and changing conclusions as data and evidence reveal new realities. Certain elements of climate science are inconclusive because the issue is massively complex, and data, while not difficult to collect (temperature records, ice cores, etc.) may be challenging to understand. We are on an endless path of scientific inquiry: People once accepted the world to be flat, then round, now asymmetrically spherical, or slightly pear shaped. We will learn many things in the future that seem unlikely to us now, but it is not a flaw in science itself that will be to blame for our ignorance. Rather, it is to the credit of science that we learn the things we once thought were inconceivable. We must revere not the scientists or their current findings but rather the methodology that, by definition, requires discoveries and theories to be reviewed by peers and reproduced in tightly controlled environments whenever possible.

Science is without question the only method we have to determine what IS in the physical world. Religion can't do it. The "free market" has the potential to encourage curiosity but corporate charters often dictate that the bottom line takes precedent over all other considerations and therefore often provides a clear motive to play fast and loose with the truth. Comparing science with other disciplines when trying to determine what qualifies as physical reality is to deny both the legacy that science continues to leave (endless cures and inventions, etc.) and also to deny its most carefully wrought definition: "the pursuit of knowledge and understanding of the natural and social world following a systematic methodology based on evidence."

Science is not one of many choices one has to consider when trying to decide what is credible in the physical world. Science is the very definition of that inquiry. We must restore dignity and respect to this institution. We must not allow the mainstream U.S. media to lump science in with the supernatural, the political, or the economic as if we had a number of equally plausible choices when trying to wade through the shallow sea of competing ideologies and special interests that may all be affected by the denouement of the climate change discussion. We do not. There is but one method to employ. It is the scientific method and no conclusion has any credibility without employing it.

Hey Luke, great article. Very relevant to whats happening today and some great insights. Have you ever considered starting a blog? I'd love to see more of your thoughts.

I just discovered your music on thesixtyone and I am blown away, you and Melissa performing killing time is murder on Canada AM has been my song of the week for over a month now!

I have one request for you guys, please come and tour out west!!

An excellent post by Mr.Doucet. He makes the very salient point that regardless of political, economic or religious affiliation, it is absolute lunancy to willfully disregard scientific and empirical evidence of climate change.

Absolute, Luke. While it’s true that research reveals new information every day, and no theory should be considered 100% absolute (maybe 99.9999%), I cannot understand how science is being viewed as just one school of thought. What’s the alternative to an evidence-based approach? Magic? In the absence of an explanation (read: climate change naysayers, peddlers of tinctures), I think I’m too often seeing exploitation.

Excellent article Luke, and thank you for standing head and shoulders above other artists/public figures who fear that their stance on issues could alienate their audience.

August 2012 Changing Gears

Contributors: Editor - Adam Bridge, Race Team Editor - Marianne Hernandez

The August 2012 DBC Newsletter

In this issue:

New Members - August 2012

DBC welcomes its new members!

DBC Race Team Junior Wins US National Championship!

By Alexander Freund: I'm no stranger to competing in National Championships; it's the "winning" part of Nationals that I can never seem to achieve. But this year is different. For many months, my season goal was to win the omnium at Junior Track Nationals, a medley of six different events dispersed over two days, with distances ranging from a 200 meter sprint to a 15 kilometer points race. After eight years of racing my way through the junior category, I knew that this race would be my best shot at becoming a National Champion before I graduate onwards to the significantly more difficult elite level.

Apple Pie

By Ken Hill -- Ken Hill wasn't sure about doing this race until Sam Hill and Matthew Daley decided they were going to do the Cat 5 race. Ken was able to mentor the Cat 5 race which allowed him to keep an eye on the Juniors, but also to get his legs opened up. The course was fun except super bumpy.

Leesville Gap: This one jars to the bones

By Luciano Sponza -- Along with Russ and Gregg, the race starts out as usual in Williams and I see Gregg and Russ in the starting bunch. I knew this race is a little bit about luck when it comes to the flat tires. The first section all goes smoothly, a few guys take flyers off the front - I have no idea why. I was sitting in the waaaay back with my buddy David Mesa from Chica Sexy. I look at him and say, "the plan is, do nothing until we go uphill." He replies, "yeah, just dodge craters." So we're cruising and then bam we hit those craters and things are popping like crazy as usual. Guys are dropping left and right with flat tires but nobody is launching any big time attacks although the pace is high. I didn't have my Powertap but Gregg later told me he was averaging 310 watts so a good pace. When we got to one of those slightly mellow sections before the climb I'm mid pack and a poor squirrel jumps right into the bike in front of me and gets all gnarled up in the rear wheel with blood and guts getting splattered all over. It was really horrible.

Peavine Challenge MTB: I Didn't Need That Back Wheel Anyway

By Jim Pavlichek--I completely hated this race last year. Well, not really, but I did feel like how a port-a-potty smells out in the heat. Last year the race was on July 4th weekend and it took 5 hours to get up there the night before. I can't recommend being in a car that long the night before a race. This year was all sorts of different as there was little traffic on the way up. Consequently, my legs felt well rested that night and on race morning. The race was also scheduled to go off at 9am, so the heat was to be less of an issue. I had a spare bottle of electrolyte drink placed for easy pick up at the end of lap 1, but I wound up not needing it.

Masters Claim Top Podium Places in San Rafael

By Karl Wurzbach and Greg Chapla -- The San Rafael Twilight Criterium is one of the premier races of the season and Greg Chapla, Karl Wurzbach, and Lee Millon of the DBC Masters Race Team represented well.

More Junior Success at Foothill College Circuit Race

By Kristen Hill -- In my spare time, last minute, literally....the juniors went racing yesterday. We had decided to skip this race because it is the farthest race we travel to besides San Ardo in August but then the promoter had to send out an email about a $50 gift card to each junior winner...that was all it took to get juniors moving.

West Elverta Road Closure

Metro Air Parkway to SR 99 ~August 2, 2012 to December 2013~ Starting on Thursday, August 2, 2012 there will be a full closure of West Elverta Road from Metro Air Parkway to State Route 99. The closure is part of the State Route 99 @ Elverta Road Interchange Project. The closure will impact all eastbound and westbound traffic on West Elverta Road including vehicles, pedestrians and bicycles. Elverta Road -- east of State Route 99 -- will not be affected by this closure.

Prohibition of school prayer: Is the prohibition of school prayer consistent religious liberty?

  • Prohibition of School Prayer is Consistent With Religious Liberty

    The prohibition of school prayer is consistent with religious liberty. The prohibition is that no school official may lead students in prayer. This does not mean that students cannot pray on their own silently or even aloud. The prohibition is important because of the separation between church and state. It also allows more religious freedom because students of all religions (or no religion at all) attend public schools.

  • No, it prevents exercise of religion.

    No, the prohibition of school prayer in school is not consistent with religious liberty, because it prevents students who want to pray from doing so. If 90 percent of the students in the school wanted to eat potatoes every day, the school would offer potatoes for those who wanted it. The vast majority of Americans are still Christian, and should be allowed to pray if they want to.

  • No. The First Amendment Says We Can

    We should not prohibit prayer in schools as it not only prohibits entire classes from praying together but individual students. The first amendment to the US Constitution (Our second right to exist, the 2nd amendment was the first) states that all people in the United States have freedom to believe what they wish to believe. School is no exception.

My top 5 C++11 language features #1 - uniform initialization syntax

JT @ Embarcadero – Now, that I am at my #1 favorite feature, I am having a tough time deciding between these two - uniform initialization syntax or rvalue references, but I am going to have to go with initialization syntax this time. Uniform initialization syntax, at first, doesn’t seem like a big deal, but it solves something that has irritated me personally forever in C++, initializing STL containers.  So, this new feature accomplishes two things, makes all initialization syntax uniform with a new standardized brace notation and provides a clean mechanism for initializing STL containers. One other nice ...

Staplcotn renovations now complete

The two-year renovation of the main offices of Staple Cotton Cooperative Association and Staple Cotton Discount Corporation is now complete, according to Staplcotn President and CEO Woods Eastland.

The offices, located at 214 West Market Street in downtown Greenwood, Miss., have been a fixture in the Cotton Row Historic District for nearly a century.

Renovations were undertaken in 2002 to increase workplace efficiencies by physically linking the Bledsoe and Garrard Buildings and incorporating 21st century amenities and space design. Throughout the modernization, steps were taken to preserve an architectural style consistent with those of Greenwood's Historic District.

In order to honor its historical significance, Staplcotn has exhibited within its offices photographs depicting the cotton industry in the Mid-South and a pictorial time line that chronicles Delta cotton from the 1800s through Staplcotn's founding, development and growth, and into modern times.

This walking tour through cotton history communicates industry facts, as well as the human story. Future plans include displays of artifacts from Staplcotn's past.

Founded in the early 1920s, Staplcotn, along with Stapldiscount, is the largest producer-owned and oldest cotton marketing cooperative in the country. Staplcotn has grown to provide warehousing, financing and marketing services to nearly 12,000 growers and landlords, who represent farming interests in the 10 Mid-South and Southeast states. The cooperative has 12 regional offices in six states and 15 warehouse locations in three states. Staplcotn members can be found in all 50 states.
