More nuclear power would boost Britain's economyby Malcolm Grimston / March 5, 2013 / Leave a comment
Is electricity a commodity, to be delivered within a market context with minimal state interference? Or is it a social service, with long-term implications so great for the economy and the environment that policy needs to be coordinated centrally?
Neither the previous government nor the present one has seemed to have an answer to the question, which can perhaps be restated as "who is the ultimate guarantor of secure, economic and environmentally acceptable electricity supplies—commercial companies or the government?" So they have set up a "market," then intervened heavily in that market on a regular basis to persuade companies to deliver on social and environmental goals. The outcome is a situation in which companies are nervous to invest but government no longer has the levers to dictate outcomes.
Left to itself, the market would build very little but gas-first power stations. They are relatively cheap and quick to construct (so investors get their money back quickly), and if the gas price increases so does the power price, protecting their profitability. Government has to work very hard to persuade the market to build low-carbon sources, which are cheaper to run but much more expensive to build and so much riskier.
Each new nuclear plant would be a major infrastructure project at a time when there is much talk of needing to kickstart the economy. It would reduce the UK's dependence on imported gas—in the wildest of fracking scenarios we'll still be a major importer, ultimately from Russia and the Middle East, increasingly in competition with China. It would reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. And unlike variable renewables, it would not run coach and horses through the economics of power production. (Last week German environment minister Peter Altmaier estimated the price of Germany's plans to move from nuclear and coal to renewables at €1 trillion when all costs are included, a figure close to the UK national debt. Creating a grid which can cope with wind output when the wind is blowing, but replace it with other power when it is not, would alone cost between €27.5bn and €42.5bn.)
If the government is determined to stick to the market mantra then it faces two broad options. Abandon nuclear power,…

Training on Board (TOB) was an international training, nutrition and health project initiated by the Norwegian Maritime Authority in Haugesund on behalf of ISWAN.
Training on Board offered seafarers an accessible, free, and motivational training programme that encouraged them to take care of their own health and fitness. The project was fully funded by the ITF Seafarers' Trust. The main feature of the project was that a seafarer should be able to train on board with simple equipment or even without any equipment at all. For a beginner, participation in TOB could lead to a big difference in fitness.
TOB had a short-term objective to increase training on board a ship by 20%. The long-term objective was to permanently reduce the number of seafarers losing their health certificates.
Although this project is no longer running, all the previous issues of the Training on Board newsletter can be downloaded on this page.

When I first conceived of the idea to open a group in Belfast, at the beginning of 2019, to help address the issues of bereavement, isolation, loneliness and depression, I really had no idea that I was entering the space of "mental health". Just how that fact escaped me, in hindsight, is beyond me, to be totally honest.
I knew I'd need some training and I've taken up a few courses in order that I'd be better prepared to run such a group. However, a very good friend, in his own quiet and special way, highlighted the fact that, as far as bereavement was concerned, I might be more than just a tad, "out of my depth".

Yes, I know I've been a bad blogger and haven't posted anything for a few days. My mind has been elsewhere, so the rest of you will have to fill in for another day or two. Head over to the comments and tell us what book or movie you've enjoyed the most this summer.
I've read Francis Heaney's Holy Tango of Literature and laughed all the way through it, but that is the only book I've actually finished this summer. (I'm part way through three others.) The movies I enjoyed the most were Mr. and Mrs. Smith and The Aristocrats.
What are you recommending these days?

I got to see the opening of "The Aristocrats", sitting with its editor, Emery Emery II (yes that's his name), who gave us a really fun intro to the movie and took questions afterward. You wouldn't believe some of the stuff they had to cut out of that film-- he assures me the DVD will be more than worth it just for the extras.

Theo Walcott has revealed he is targeting 10 goals for Arsenal before Christmas and is hopeful he will be given a coffee machine from his wife as a reward for his goalscoring prowess.
The England international is enjoying a fine season in front of goal and grabbed his ninth of the season in Sunday's 3-1 win over Bournemouth at the Emirates.
Walcott is just one goal behind top scorer Alexis Sanchez and looks set to reach his target with the Gunners having six games still in all competitions to play before December 25th.
"I want to get 10 [goals] so I can get a coffee machine for Christmas from my wife. She said 'if you get 10 goals before Christmas I'll buy you this coffee machine'. So I can't wait for that and hopefully it will happen," he told The Guardian.
"Coming from the wing as well, I'm obviously delighted with my goals so far. But I'm more delighted where the team is, progressing from the first disappointing game [defeat to Liverpool]. There's been a lot of ups and downs but hopefully this game can just make sure we're back to the level we want to be at."
Walcott also sought to try to explain his improved form in front of goal and will be hoping to beat his previous season's best of 21 goals, scored in 2012-13.

- Arteta reveals contract talks for starlet who's part of Arsenal's 'DNA'
"I sat down with the manager at the start of the season and said where I want to play so now I don't have to think about anything else," he explained.
"And with that experience in the central position, if I find myself there hopefully I can tuck away the goals, which I have. I'm still working hard in training, in the gym and on the mental side of it. And making sure I have time at home as well.
"Everything seems to be clicking. I just want to make sure I'm the best I can be every day going into training. If I can stay fit hopefully it can be a good season, not just for me but for everyone else."
Walcott's form this season has been a massive boost for the Gunners and with just one goal to go it would be a huge surprise now if he failed to reach his target of 10 goals by Christmas Day.

I have been in love with a particular brand of organic Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato soup for a long time but was rather embarrassed to see that it is not vegan (I am) and hadn't noticed! So, I found a number of vegan roasted red pepper and tomato soup recipes online and began to improvize with what I had around here and with what I hoped would be a fairly close replication of the store-bought soup that I love so much.
Here is the recipe for vegan Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup I finally settled on. I may do some more improvisations of it. Let me know what you think and if/how you made changes!
1 can/796ml/26oz Organic Crushed Tomatoes
1 medium Organic Yellow Onion, chopped
1/4 C. Water or Vegetable Broth
1 small Organic Head of Garlic
3 Large Organic Bell Peppers (not Green)
1 tsp./15 g Paprika
Salt, Pepper to taste
1/2 C. Water
2 tsp. Balsamic Vinegar
Almond or Coconut Milk, as desired
- Preheat oven to 500F/205C Place oven rack in the highest slot to roast the vegetables
- Cover roasting pan bottom (no lid) with parchment paper
- You can watch the following video from the American Culinary Society if you are a little timid. I use full, uncut peppers or you might want to cut and cut out seeds (as shown in video)
- Place washed peppers on the pan (I do not use oil, but you can if you want-- watch the video for more information). Roast for about 20 minutes. Let cool. Remove skin (and seeds if you haven't done so).
- Place Garlic into a small pieces of aluminum foil, twist shut.
- Spread Onion on pan and put garlic in the middle
- Roast as you did peppers, but maybe check in about 10-15 minutes to make sure they aren't too dried up
- Remove and cool.
- Roughly chop Peppers and put them with all other ingredients into a soup pot over medium heat. Stir until everything is softened and homogeneous (smooth and different ingredients aren't really identifiable-- looks like a nice lumpy red sauce and the onions, etc. are soft.)
- Using an immersion blender, blend everything smooth. If you don't have an immersion blender, use your regular blender and whirl up the soup.
- Serve in individual bowls with a circle of Almond or Coconut Milk, and a garnish of green onion or parsley.
- Enjoy! Pour leftover soup into a mason jar and enjoy the next day (makes about 6 bowls).

All are welcome, no matter where you are on your faith journey.
Pre Lenten Retreat
Theme: Learning to Embrace our Spiritual Gravity: Preparing for Lent
Would you like Lent to really mean something significant for you this year? Why not start with a day retreat on Saturday, February 10, 2018, here at the church. There will be a guided personal reflection, time in smaller groups, an introduction to a Lenten practice, and more. We will conclude with the Eucharist. Our retreat will be facilitated by Carolyn Carney.
Lenten Resources
Lent is the six week period of time in the church calendar that starts on Ash Wednesday and leads us to Easter. The Lenten season invites Christians to a closer walk with God as we prepare to celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
During this season, we are all invited to observe a holy Lent, by self-examination and repentance; by prayer, fasting, and self-denial, and by reading and meditating on God's holy Word.
Social Media Series
Social Media Sunday #SMS20 was started at Trinity in 2013.
A series of continuing social media classes are offered at Trinity during the year, including topics such as internet privacy, social media ministry, getting started, and more. Individual help is available at social media Help Desks at coffee hour.
Intergenerational classes for seniors are offered to the community - where youth help elders get set up on social media, and understand how to use their devices.

Pantomime season with a Grimm warning
I've had a busy couple of days and upset some applecarts; perhaps I should apologise if I have bruised any fruit?
On Friday the 21st, I spent an interesting day in Corpus Christi College, in Cambridge with my fellow NADA (National Association of Dental Advisers) colleagues as well as a selection of the great and the good and quite a few of our younger dental colleagues who had come along for the verifiable CPD and to find out what sort of profession they were entering into.
Sarah Rann (assistant medical director East Anglia Area Team NHS England) kicked off proceedings by asking us and then telling us what we should be doing as National Dental Advisers. The only aspect that she missed off her list was influencing the Regulators, (aka upsetting the established applecart by proffering an expert opinion).
We were then treated to a relatively complimentary double act between Barry Cockcroft and John Milne's views on Contract Reform. There was a large amount of agreement even concluding with synchronised retirement from their respective roles early next year. Barry emphasised that 'access' was less of a political hot potato now than it had been and he saw this as one of his successes during his tenure. John talked about the impact of pilots and possible implications.
A little local difficulty about a dental practice not far from Nottingham was briefly mentioned.
A question regarding access to certain less privileged groups was aired and this is where I must apologise. I raised the question of 'access to what quality of care?' And I then asked 'who was responsible for the World Class Commissioning of such ludicrously large and unmanageable contracts?'
Well there was a stunned silence and poor Barry looked like he had been stabbed in the chest. Fortunately John was on hand to ride to his rescue and acknowledge, although not answer the question and then draw stumps on this part of the meeting.
We were treated to some joined up thinking from David Geddes (National head of primary care commissioning) who discussed intelligently and without too much smoke and mirrors what the future 5 year plan may mean to dentistry, please read this if you haven't: http://www.england.nhs.uk/ourwork/futurenhs/
Amanda Crosse (consultant in Dental Public Health) went a little off piste with her unguarded comment regarding perhaps planning to have dental NHS commissioning overseen by CCG's. An interesting idea which seemed to irritate the level headed David and which he was forced into backtracking a little.
David Behan was cut short, the previous part of the agenda having overrun by 50 minutes meant that David only had 10 minutes to get his message across about the new CQC. He did it very well I thought and was only sorry that it was necessary to tell the gathered throng of dental advisers that he was disappointed in their union attitude to pay and perhaps we would like to put something back into the profession. He was having no more of discussing an inflationary fee. Actually I agree and am happy to spend my time for free advising the CQC.
This is where all of you come in…...'Efficacy and the CQC inspection, on the right path now? 'It's your opportunity to get the message across and its coming to GDPUK soon.
Poisoned apples for 'afters'………..,
The afternoon was devoted to a Brother's Grimm pantomime about a dodgy dentist with decontamination and NHS gaming tendencies, played brilliantly by Bryan Harvey (DDU), who was frighteningly good at getting into Character. We were assured that this was not based on any recent situation and I pointed out that it couldn't have been, since they failed to notify the Press or recall 22,000 terrified patients…., Oops!
The GDC on this NADA inspired day was represented by Mike Ridler (Head of Hearings) who displayed distressing figures on FtP hearings. Mike expressed his inability to understand the reasons since in his experience there had not been an associated decline in professional standards. Somebody in the audience mentioned that it might have something to do with National advertising?!! Mike did not wish to be drawn further on this.
He obviously didn't feel inclined to join in with the GDC pantomime either and suggested that if anyone wanted to talk about other ARF type issues they could do this individually later, although it wasn't his 'field.' He then failed to answer the other questions, since they weren't his field either.
The meeting closed with another unplanned shedding of apples just as stumps were drawn and flat hats were on; Jason Stokes leapt up on stage and shouted that if the younger members of the audience felt slightly dismayed by opinions voiced by the demobbing great and the good; NOW is the time to make their voices heard. Oyez, oyez!

Dmitri Mendeleev published his periodic system for classifying all the known elements 150 years ago. That system gave birth to the periodic table we've come to know and love. To celebrate this anniversary, the United Nations General Assembly and UN Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization proclaimed 2019 the International Year of the Periodic Table of Chemical Elements. C&EN is joining the celebration by releasing original content—features, videos, photos, and more—throughout 2019.

Theodore T Dodson Jr
Born: 2/16/1925, Smicksburg, Pennsylvnia
Ted was born February 16, 1925 in Smicksburg, Pennsylvania to parents Theodore Travis and Hannah Velma (Gahagan) Dodson. He had two brothers, Robert and William, one sister, Nancy (Martin) and two step-sisters, Marge (George) and Marion (Stilwell).
Ted graduated from Powell High School in Powell, Wyoming and joined the Army Air Force on December 8, 1943 where he became an Aviation Cadet. Upon his discharge on November 5, 1945, he attended Iowa State College to earn a degree in agriculture. He started his long career in the dairy industry with Meadow Gold Farms and was the plant manager for various dairies across the country including Wyoming, Utah, Washington and California. He loved Utah and upon his retirement returned to Ogden to be close to his family and friends and eventually moved to Moab to live with his caring daughter, Janet and her husband, Mac.
After returning from the service, Ted married the love of his life, a beautiful cadet nurse, Eleanor Jean Powell. They were married on December 4, 1945 and were soul mates for over 70 years. Together they raised four children: Jean (Leigh) Verley of Bullhead City, Arizona; Jim (Linda) of Casper, Wyoming; Janet (Mac) McLean of Moab, Utah; and Ken (Sandy) of West Jordan, Utah. They have nine grandchildren and thirteen great grandchildren with one more great grandchild expected to arrive in September.
Ted loved to travel, visiting many of the National Parks and attending two World Fairs. He enjoyed the outdoors, especially the Moab area as well as fixing things, reading and playing croquet. He was active with his church and was a past Grand Master of the I.O.O.F. (Odd Fellows).
Ted was preceded in death by his parents, his brother Robert and his step-sister Marge.
He is survived by his wife, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Funeral services were held Saturday April 9th at the Community Church of Moab at 10:30 a.m. with interment at the Grand County Cemetery in Moab. The family has requested that donations, if desired, be made to the Community Church of Moab.
The family of Ted Dodson would like to give a special thank you to the doctors, nurses, therapists, and staff of the Moab Regional Hospital for their expert care of their loved one. The care and compassion they displayed was so refreshing and comforting during this difficult time, and for that they will be forever thankful.
Tributes:We are very sorry to hear about your loss of Ted. We share in your loss. He and Eleanor were such kind neighbors. Ted would tell me every year on his birthday since he turned 80 that now he was 81,82,then 83 and so on. He did well. We feel bad that we had not seen him for so long since they moved. He was a good, kind, and hard working man. Our hearts go out to Eleanor and you all.
- George and Jo ChinoOur thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time. May the peace of comfort be with your family.
- Glen & Kathy Defa

The last time I took my children to the beach, I was struck by how different the perspective was when I was sitting in the sand building castles with them instead of standing up at my easel. So I came back to the exact same spot and painted sitting down, from the same perspective.

What to Expect From President Obama's Rare Oval Office Address
President Obama will deliver a rare primetime address to the nation Sunday.
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- With the country still reeling from the San Bernardino, California, shooting that left 14 dead and 21 injured, President Obama is expected to deliver a message of reassurance today, in a rare address to the nation from the Oval Office.
According to a senior administration official, Obama will take a "just the facts" tone, updating on the investigation, providing an overview of what the the government is doing to combat the threat of home-grown, ISIS-inspired terrorism, and what else needs to be done based on what has been learned so far from this attack.
He is expected to be more direct in branding the shooting as terrorism than he was Saturday in his weekly address.
"As President, my highest priority is the security and safety of the American people," he said Saturday. "This is work that should unite us all -- as Americans -- so that we're doing everything in our power to defend our country."
That message was recorded prior to a meeting Obama held with his national security team, and the White House said officials still report that no connections had been found between the two attackers and any broader cells or terrorist networks.
He also reiterated his push for action on certain gun control measures, like barring individuals on the U.S. "no-fly" list from being able to purchase a firearm.
According to the senior administration official, the speech this evening will not be a political speech, and there will be no big call for action on gun control.
That would be a change from his previous statements on terrorism in the wake of the Paris and San Bernardino attacks, where has talked most passionately about guns and refugees.
White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest's statement previewing Obama's Oval Office speech had no mention of gun control. Instead, it said the president will focus on updating Americans on the progress of the FBI investigation into San Bernardino, as well as "the broader threat of terrorism."
However, in an interview on NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday, Attorney General Loretta Lynch said Obama will ask Congress "to review measures and take action" on certain gun control measures.
In terms of any potential announcement on executive action on gun control, White House officials tell ABC News not to expect any major policy announcements in the president's speech.
It's been more than five years since Obama used the Oval Office to deliver an address to the nation, when he announced the end of U.S. combat operations inside Iraq.

A dream…
The dream began with a nuclear bomb of some kind suddenly going off. The bomb was many miles away from where I, (a young female adult believer,) stood. The area was very flat, with no hills around it to hide the city from view, so I could see the mushroom cloud quite clearly. The earth shook and trembled under its force, and I had to steady myself lest I fall. This explosion was not the white fluffy mushroom ones I had seen before on television; it was black and the mushroom part was deeply red colored instead. The sky was dark, though from the time of day or night or the bomb itself, I could not tell for sure. (I sensed it was night time.) The earth roiled and changed colors like smoldering coals in a fire, first charring everything black, then suddenly blowing back to life with red hot fire, before returning to the black color once again. This red fire rippled outwards like a pebble thrown in a pond, till the end of its reach left spots of black char among the untouched ground.
Then from among this vision, came a person, walking away from the bomb blast. She was followed by others, trickling in, trying to get as far away from the blast as they could. Some dropped and died as they walked, while the survivors kept walking, wanting so very badly to get as far away from it as possible, despite knowing that for them it was probably too late and that they also would end up dead.
God's people reacted totally different to the devastation; they had the attitude that as they were not dead yet, they would keep serving and following God till they no longer could. Those Christians whose faith was weak, succumbed to the radiation and died. Those who believed that Jesus could save them from the radiation survived with no side effects from the radiation. It was as if they were somehow immune to it.
These Christian survivors tried to witness to others, and the way these believers remained in good health was a visual reminder of a miracle that could be theirs too, if they came to Christ. There were a few who turned to Christ and were saved, (from both the radiation and from hell,) but most turned away from the good news and died, for they simply could not bring themselves to believe in such a miracle or in the God that gave it to His children.
My heart ached to see those people die without Christ.
Farther out from the blast, people were panicking, and running to the stores to buy provisions. I found myself outside a Target store, looking at the long lines of people waiting for their turn to get in. Target employees were trying to keep the people in line and orderly. Many people were buying odd stuff, like masses of paper towels, that would not be of much use to them over the long haul. You could only buy as much as you could carry, for cars and other motorized transportation was not working. Walking was the only way to get from place to place.
You could tell who were the real believers and who were not, simply by the look on their faces. Those who were believers in Jesus Christ, had positive thoughts, and this was reflected outwards towards others. There was a peace about them that stood out from all the chaos around them. Those who were not believers were in shock, and walked around as if in a daze, unable to think clearly.
I was not able to tell how the people buying the stuff payed for it, or if it was simply given away to them. You still had to wait in long lines to check out your items, but even the watches on peoples arms had stopped working, so I did not know what other kind of mechanics had been left in working condition, to charge the people.
I woke up and felt both sad and hopeful over the dream. Sad that such a thing had happened, yet hopeful having witnessed the believers being immune to the radiation. I wondered if this was a warning dream, and I wondered if it might actually happen one day. I wondered if in the future I would get another dream to confirm this one.
I then went back to sleep.
(To be continued…)

AppAdvice Game Of The Week For November 2, 2012
Every week, our staff will handpick a game from the past two weeks that we believe is a must-download for your iPhone or iPad. These games will always be from a wide variety of genres, but they are chosen because our own staff members love it and can't quite put it down. So here are this week's picks! Enjoy, and happy gaming!
Forget Words with Friends, now we have Letterpress, the hot new multiplayer word game from Loren Brichter, the creator of Tweetie (now Twitter for iPhone). This game will seriously keep you coming back for more as you see who is the expert wordsmith among you and your friends.
Letterpress features a minimally elegant interface that is extremely smooth and fluid, kind of like Tweetie before Twitter ruined it. There are also cute little sound effects when you play your letters, so it's another delightful touch.
The game features a 5x5 grid of letter tiles. The first thing you may think of is Boggle, but the game is nothing like it, aside from making words. Rather than having to use tiles that are adjacent to each other, you can actually use any letter on the board to make a word. There are no point values for each word — you just have to worry about "claiming" more letter tiles than your opponent. Once you submit your word, those tiles will change to your color, and you get a point for each one. If you surround a tile with the same color, that tile will be "defended," so the opposing player cannot steal it for their own. You are still able to use a defended tile, but it won't give you any points.
To add to the challenge, players cannot use a word that is a prefix of another word that is already played. So if one person played "QUILTS," that means that "QUILT" cannot be played, but "QUILTED" or "QUIT" is okay.
This is a refreshing new twist to the genre, and anyone that likes word games is in for a treat with Letterpress. There is no playing against the computer though, so it's a multiplayer-only experience. You can invite your Game Center friends or be paired up with a stranger.
Letterpress is free, but you will be limited to one theme and can only play up to two games at a time. There is a full upgrade unlock available via a $0.99 in-app purchase, which allows you to play unlimited games at once and you get a handful of color themes to choose from. Honestly, I believe the upgrade is well worth it — once you start playing, you can't stop.
This has become a staff favorite here at AppAdvice, and we're sure you're going to love it too (if you haven't already). Make sure to give it a download from the App Store for free.
Don't forget to check out my original review here.
Honorable Mention
Spell Rift for iPad
Our Honorable Mention this week is also a word game, but it's of a different calibur. It's the latest from the Kieffer Bros., and it's a fantastic single-player experience.
Like the rest of their games, Spell Rift features beautiful graphics and visuals, as shown throughout the game. The music is quite whimsical as well, which adds to the overall feeling of the game.
In Spell Rift, you are basically on a quest for the Well of Words. You must go through each land and conquer the levels and challenges that await you. Unlike Letterpress, Spell Rift follows the traditional word game formula, where you must make words out of adjacent tiles, rather than anywhere on the board. As you make progress, special tiles will make their appearance, which will make things even more challenging.
Of course, you may think that this has been done before. That's true, but there's something to look forward to. Each level will have a certain objective to complete before you can move on, such as "Create 40 unique words" or "Clear 150 tiles." There are also a few challenges to strive for on each level as well, in addition to the main objective. These are hard to pull off, but certainly not impossible.
Since Spell Rift has you embarking on a "quest," you can actually have multiple game profiles on a single device. This is great if you have family or friends that want to play the game as well. Game Center is supported for leaderboards and achievements.
If you are looking for a gorgeous single-player word experience, then Spell Rift for iPad is just what you need. You can make it yours for only $2.99 in the App Store. An iPhone version is coming in the future.

"Paradoxically, war is both a rite of passage and the bane of human existence. Third Flatiron Publishing presents A HIGH SHRILL THUMP, a new anthology of science fiction stories by an international group of award-winning and emerging writers, who offer their visionary takes on the theme of war." So begins the blurb from Third Flatiron Publishing for their latest anthology, originally set for September 1 and already out on Smashwords and Amazon five days early! For more information both on the publisher (another title, on "Origins," is open for submissions through the end of September) and the book press here or, for ordering from either of the two vendors noted above, just click on their names.
And who might be in this "international group of award-winning and emerging writers," one might ask. For one, me, with a story called "Refugees" (cf. July 8). But here's the official table of contents:
The Man Who Couldn't Die by David L. Felts
Comrade at Arms by Gustavo Bondoni
Angel by K. R. Cairns
Grins and Gurgles (Flash Fiction): The Rocketeer by John Harrower
Refugees by James S. Dorr
The Home Front by David Turner
The Fixer by Jack Skelter
A Childproof War by Lon Prater
The Frontline Is Everywhere by Michael Trudeau
Half a Century Later at a Mid-Earth Pub by Tom Sheehan
Homeland Security by Brenda Kezar
In the Blink of an Eye by Nick Johnson
I Think I Won by David J. Williams

"These gritty storytellers charge through the gauntlet of war, past, future, and unimagined," so the blurb cited above concludes. Or, as editor Juliana Rew put it in her acceptance of my story, "Who can resist a trebouchet? Not me!"
Just a quick note that the Prime Books mass market edition of FUTURE LOVECRAFT has arrived, including my story "Dark of the Moon" (cf. July 15, May 8, et al.), with an "official" release date of July 31. Available in its new edition from Amazon and Barnes and Noble (and possibly elsewhere), FUTURE LOVECRAFT's original publication by Innsmouth Free Press was in December 2011. "Dark of the Moon," a tale of multinational lunar exploration and Russian mythology and how the twain meet, was itself originally published in THE CHILDREN OF CTHULHU by Del Rey in 2002.
Just Because It's Cool (Or Maybe Hot?); Lovecraft's Birthday List of Authors for Techno-Goth Cthulhu Revealed
No offense, or, okay so I'm a sucker [sic] for pictures of vampires, but this is one I couldn't resist. Courtesy of Art of the Beautiful~Grotesque via Victorian Vampire Society UK through the magic of Facebook, the painting is by the French artist Albert-Joseph Pénot (1862-1930) who is probably best known today for a series of figure studies, often dark both in color and mood as well as at times in a somewhat occult context.
Otherwise it's been a rather sunny day today, pleasant and not too hot, scarcely the gloomy, windy, damp weather one might expect on, as it happens, the 122nd birthday of H. P. Lovecraft (August 20 1890, d. March 15 1937). While the following has been available through Red Skies Press, and in that sense isn't a new announcement, it seemed perhaps appropriate today to list the final lineup for their upcoming anthology TECHNO-GOTH CTHULHU (cf. March 3), including my story "Ghost Ship," one in my "Tombs" series of tales of life and love on a far future, dying Earth. The order of titles is by date of acceptance of the various stories, and not an official table of contents.
1. Whispers of The Ruling Class- Louis Baum
2. Little Earthquakes- Nickolas Cook
3. Looking for Joey Shoggoth- Peter Rawlik
4. Meditation on a Dead World- Dave Fragments
5. The 88th Floor- Benjamin Sperduto
6. Ghost Ship- James Dorr, SFWA and HWA Member
7. Carriage Thirteen (a novelette)- Nathan J.D.L. Rowark
8. The Avenue of Blades- Richard Godwin
9. Stark Raving Mad- Mae Empson, HWA Member
10. Anthropomorphic Eons- Mark Anthony Crittenden
11. The Dark Net- Wednesday Silverwood
12. Project Keziah- Donald Jacob Uitvlught
Editor Mark Crittenden is, as of my latest information, aiming for a December release date for TECHNO-GOTH CTHULHU. Hopefully that will mean it will be out in time for Christmas giving.
"Hired killers. Vigilantes. Executioners. Paid killers or assassins working from a moral or political motivation. You'll find them all in this thrilling anthology. But these are not ordinary killers, not your run-of-the-mill hitmen. The emphasis is on the 'uncommon' here — unusual characters, usual situations, and especially unusual means of killing." So goes the blurb. "Here are tales by some of the best suspense/thriller writers today, [ranging from] historical fiction to science fiction to political thriller — there's even an alternate history story in the mix." Published by Smart Rhino Publications, UNCOMMON ASSASSINS was originally planned for this fall (see April 17), but, at least on Amazon, has come out early with their release date listed as August 14.
And do I have a shot in this shebang? You just bet I do, "The Wellmaster's Daughter," originally published in ALFRED HITCHCOCK'S MYSTERY MAGAZINE on November 1991 — my first ALFRED HITCHCOCK'S appearance as a matter of fact (for another tale of mine originally published in ALFRED HITCHCOCK's, incidentally, click on the picture of VANITAS in the center column). As for other non-run-of-the-mill malefactors to be found in UNCOMMON ASSASSINS's pages, here is a partial table of contents (or, put another way, the latest interim one I could find).
Stories aleady accepted for this anthology include:
Stephen England, Nightshade
J. Gregory Smith, The Pepper Tyrant
Lisa Mannetti, Everybody Wins
Ken Goldman Fat Larry's Night With the Alligators
Christine Morgan, Thyf's Tale
Matt Hilton, Misconceptions
Billie Sue Mosiman, Second Amendment Solution
Ken Bruen, Killer
Rob M. Miller For the Love of Boys
Monica O'Rourke, Bloodshed Fred
F. Paul Wilson, Slasher

"Scavenger," my post-apocalyptic robot noir story recently sold to an at the time unnamed science fiction/fantasy anthology to be published by Chamberton Publishing (see June 19), now has a home with a name, LIMELIGHT: A GOLDEN LIGHT ANTHOLOGY. A list of authors has also been released, to wit, Edward W. Robertson, James S. Dorr, Ela Lond, John Grover, Sergio Palumbo, Larissa Hinton, Jessica B. Zeidler, Katy Huth Jones, Bill Blume, Alexandra Baker, Catriel Ceballos, and Domyelle Rhyse, with author bios available on the Chamberton Publishing site. Also released is the cover design, while more information on LIMELIGHT and several companion volumes can be found here.
"Scavenger" was first published in FANTASTIC COLLECTIBLES in November 1994. Under its new manifestation, it's scheduled to hit Amazon, Barnes & Noble, et al., in both print and electronic editions sometime this October.
Two quick poetic items, the first being that THE MAGAZINE OF SPECULATIVE POETRY (see August 1) arrived yesterday afternoon. This is a nicely printed but otherwise no frills 32-page magazine with nothing but poetry. Well, okay, a cover and a contents page too, but otherwise just poetry from front to back. No editorials, no ads, no reviews, but what poetry! It's well worth a look.
Then for those who read yesterday's "Blog Train" blog but declined to click through the gauntlet of "PAGES" and "Poetry (Essays)" and scrolling down to "Edgar Allan and Allen Ginsberg," etc. (you know who you are ;-)), here's a second chance to read "Metal Vamp" as presented by NITEBLADE in its premiere issue by just pressing here. Call it an extra lagniappe if you will (gee, we've been giving out lots of free samples lately! But, hey, that's the game), so don't forget to keep coming back from time to time for more. And as for now, enjoy!
What is it about jazz and vampires? They're constrained by rules — the exact ones depending on the folklore you follow, but in all cases they seem not to be at their best in daylight — but within those rules they do their utmost to twist and break them, to improvise as it were, just like jazz music which also often seems at its best at night. Both are a bit shady, a bit disreputable, yet when confronted demand respect. Both are parasitic, the jazz taking from the melody it improvises on. Both, under the right conditions, are sexy.
So what does this have to do with NITEBLADE, this being part of a blog train celebrating that electronic magazine's fifth anniversary? And what's a blog train? For the latter I quote NITEBLADE editor Rhonda Parrish: "What we'll do is take the number of people who agree to participate and subtract that many days from Septamber 1st. Then I'll start things off with an opening blog from the Niteblade News site [see link at the very, very top of this post]. I'll talk about Niteblade and our blog train and link to every participating blog. The next day someone else will blog on their personal blog [me, right here, on Thursday August 9 2012], and the next day another person [see link at the very, very bottom, beneath the poem and its attribution — but not until tomorrow]."
Okay, so I added the stuff in []s.
"Each blog can be about whatever you want, as long as it somehow connects to Niteblade, however obscurely. You could talk about a story or poem we've published. . . ." Well that's the idea.
So, as for the former — what does this have to do with NITEBLADE? — well, my connection is that over the past five years I've had poetry published there. And also an interview in NITEBLADE NEWS, for which see below for September 5 2011 or, if luck is with us, press here. Two poems are mentioned in the interview, "Winter Wonder(2)" which is not a vampire poem (it's a killer snowman poem) and "Second Chance" which is, but isn't about jazz.
But ah, two before them, two that go back to NITEBLADE's first year, to September 2007, issue #1, on pages 16 and 47. In her cover email for my copy Rhonda took time to say, "I'm so excited. I really feel like this is the start of something awesome. . . ." And these poems are jazzy.
I'll quote just one here, at the end of the post, the one called "High-Flying" — it's also the one NITEBLADE poem that is reprinted in my book VAMPS (A RETROSPECTIVE). But the other, "Metal Vamp," can be read on this blog by going to the far right hand column and, under "PAGES," click on "Poetry (Essays)." Then scroll down to the third essay, on "Edgar Allan, Allen Ginsberg, & All That Jazz," and, well, read the whole essay while you're at it. But after a quotation from Ginsberg's "Howl" and mentions of Poe's "The Raven" and "The Bells" ("the poet as carillonneur!") I quote a review by Daniel C. Smith from the March/April 2008 issue of STAR*LINE discussing "Metal Vamp" ("The sudden start/stop stop/start feel to the minimalist lines and the way the imagery punctuates the rhythm serve the poem well while providing both a chilling and an arousing effect. Dorr reminds us that even in death there is an undercurrent of sexuality"), followed by the poem itself — the epitome, perhaps, of the vampire and jazz, first published in this case in the November/December 2004 STAR*LINE, but reprinted in NITEBLADE's premiere issue.
Be-bop baby, she
slides to the brasses' strain,
red gown too-tight
taut-fleshed legs dancing.
She smiles, dark eyes flashing,
teeth white, laughing in the night,
moonlight enhancing pale
skin in the shadows.
She smiles, she entices
collecting her trophies,
in flight she, an aeronaut,
lifts her prey with her,
in ecstasy rising.
In blood-crimson crashing.
First published NITEBLADE, September 2007; reprinted in VAMPS (A RETROSPECTIVE), August 2011
And now, back on the blog train to J. E. Taylor >>
Another missive arrived today from Chicon7, a.k.a. the 2012 World Science Fiction Convention, noting that zombies will be represented on the list of panels after all despite earlier beliefs (see comments on "Gripey Vampire," just below). And not only will I be on it too, I may be moderator. So I'm listed for three panels for those who might be in Chicago as well, to wit:
The Best Vampire Novel of the Century
The Horror Writers Association on the 100-year anniversary of Bram Stoker's death in 1912 has overseen the nomination of six finalists from which will be selected the one novel they believe has had the greatest impact on the horror genre since the 1897 publication of Dracula. This panel discusses the finalists and the reasons for their selection as well as the (yet to be decided) winner.
The Walking Dead: Zombies in Folklore, Science, and Popular Culture
Contrasting the original Haitian Vodoun concept of zombieism with scientific explanations involving poisons that mimic suspended animation (e.g. Wade Davis 'The Serpent and the Rainbow') and with current George Romero and post-Romero depictions in fiction and film.
Dark Fairy Tales
Move away from the general discussions of the Disney-ization of fairy tales and talk about how to reinvent fairy tales into dark fiction. The themes of metamorphosis and transition are prevalent in fairy tales, and sometimes where one story ends, another begins. What are some ways to reinvent fairy tales without retelling the same story?
Readers may note an error in the description on the Vampire panel in that the special Bram Stoker Vampire Novel of the Century Award(TM) has already been presented at World Horror Con this spring (see April 2 and 3) and I've already contacted Chicon's programming chair suggesting an appropriate change of verb tense. The six books in question are still well worth discussing, of course, and were at least in five fairly knowledgeable people's opinions the six most important vampire novels of the past century, plus, for those who don't know the winner, you can find out there. Also find out if I'm moderator of not just one but all three of these panels (I've also suggested that if someone else might have had their heart set on moderating the Fairy Tale one, I would not weep were I asked to defer) — in the case of the zombies and the vampires I should mention though that the topics came from suggestions I'd made myself some months ago.
My panels aside, Chicon7 looks like it's shaping up to be a real ball. If interested, but not yet a member, more information can be found here.
Today's street mail brought the July-September issue of the Science Fiction Poetry Association's STAR*LINE (see July 15, et al.) filled with news, reviews, and poetry, including the winners of this year's Rhyslings and a special memorial section for Ray Bradbury. And how many individual poets? Too many to count, and that's even with me being barefoot! And of this all, I have three lines (plus title, "Proper Perspective") about a vampire with a gripe.
STAR*LINE comes with membership in the Science Fiction Poetry Association, but single issues are also available as well as discounts for library subscriptions. More information both on the magazine and SFPA — including what "Rhyslings" are, for those who might wonder — can be found here.
Then in the electronic world my story "Cindy," originally published in FANTASTIC in Spring 2001, is now available in electronic and podcast versions on WILY WRITERS (cf. February 19). Call it a lagniappe if you will — the tale of a princess-to-be and the troubles her fairy godmother must go through to make sure everything turns out just right. But nothing comes free, and of course the godmom may have her own agenda. Also — is serendipity at play? — I got my preliminary schedule for Chicon 7, a.k.a. World Science Fiction Convention 2012, just a few days ago and one of my panels is "Dark Fairy Tales." "Move away from the general discussions of the Disney-ization of fairy tales and talk about how to reinvent fairy tales into dark fiction." So one thing that is free as well as what could be a preview of what I'll talk about there can be found both at once by pressing here.
Roger Dutcher's THE MAGAZINE OF SPECULATIVE POETRY (originally co-edited with Mark Rich, then later a solo operation) has been considered a yardstick of excellence in genre poetry for almost longer than can be remembered. Highly irregular, sometimes more than a year may pass before the next issue, but always a treat when it finally comes out, the latest issue has been announced as at the printer with issues to subscribers and contributors starting going out this week and throughout the weekend. And, yes, I've a joker in this jambalaya, a tale (I think — it has been a while since it was accepted 🙂 ) of zombism in the pre-Romero, Haitian tradition titled "Souvenir."
The complete lineup for Issue 9.2 includes Dave Perry, Sankar Roy, F. J. Bergmann, Ed Gavin, Mark Rich, G. O.Clark, Paul Renault, Phil Emery, Kurt MacPhearson & Rick Yennik, Sandra J. Lindow, James S. Dorr, Alan Catlin, Brock Marie Moore, John Grey, Ed Gavin, Sarah Monette, Robert Borski, Shannon Connor, and Helen Ehrlich, plus a cover by Laurel Winter. Single issues cost $ 5.00 in the US or $19.00 for the next four (outside the US it's $6.50 and $25.00 respectively) including postage, to

Beloit WI 53512
(Sorry, no email — we're talking classics here.)
Meanwhile, however, in the world of electronics, the "August Augmentations" issue of SNM HORROR MAGAZINE (see July 25, et al.) is now alive on the Internet. My story in it, "Waste Not, Want Not," can be read by clicking here, then press "SNM AUG/SEP ISSUE 1" in the column on the left, then scroll a lo-o-o-ong way down. Call it an extra lagniappe, if you will — it's free along with seven other stories of delightfully malpracticed medicine (for the other four, press "SNM AUG/SEP ISSUE 2").

Firefighters rescue stray cat named Flame before realizing he actually rescued them
"He is a tremendous stress relief to these guys," Chief Anthony Segars said.
-- The firefighters at Belmont Fire Department in Greenville, South Carolina, rescued this stray orange kitty after finding him malnourished wandering around the outside of their station about two years ago. But now, they'll be the first to admit that he's actually the one who has rescued them.
Flame the Arson Cat, as he's now appropriately named, is like their shadow in the fire house, "always there when you need him to provide that mental break," firefighter engineer Jordan Lide told ABC News.
Fire Chief Anthony Segars was unsure about having pets in the fire station at first, but now realizes just how helpful the cat is to have around.
"My guys, they see horrible accidents, horrible things every day," Segars said. "We're involved in something weekly that stresses to them to some degree and he is a tremendous stress relief to these guys. He is therapeutic after a bad call comes in."
Lide remembers the day he found Flame like it was yesterday.
"It was getting a little bit later and guys were making their way inside and I heard a meowing sound out in the grass," he recalled. "I could see this small cat but he didn't run. He was really skinny and malnourished. I think he was scared and timid but kind of desperate at the same time.
"I started edging my way towards him, squatting down and talking to him," he added. "Eventually, after 15 to 20 minutes, he let me get to him and as soon as I pet him for the first time, it was game on. He started climbing all over my lap and I could tell how malnourished he was."
Now, "He's just part of the crew," the chief said.
The firefighters said they've gotten him neutered and up to date with his shots.
Flame has also become a huge hit on Instagram, serving as the fire station's mascot of sorts. But to the firefighters, he's so much more.
"You don't realize he's therapeutic until you're playing with him and he starts rubbing up on you. It's a mental break," Lide said. "We're on shift for 24 hours running calls and working, and we see the worst side of stuff sometimes, and the innocence of him, he just wants to be loved on and played with, and then you forget you were in a bad fire."
Lide said the loyal cat will remain in place at the fire station, patiently waiting on their return from a call.
"First he rubs up on the truck to see where we've been and then he follows us over to the lockers and then he'll come and jump up on the bumper and sits next to you on the bumper," he said.
The firefighters even call Flame "The Chief" now.
"He has his own department picture and everything," Lide said with a laugh. "It's something you can count on because he's always there. Especially in the morning, he sets the tone for the day. He just gives you that sense of, 'Take a step back, relax, take it one call at a time.' He's definitely a part of the guys. He's a part of our everyday lives."

April 17, 2012 report
'Sabpab' Trojan seeks out Mac OS X
(Phys.org) -- Three compelling reasons that Mac loyalists say justify their love for Macs have been that Macs are 1) the prettiest computers around (2) ideal for any new-age brain that prefers visually rich knowledge work and (3) their systems are far safer than Windows-based PCs, which have been sneered at as malware magnets. This year, life has got Mac-Liter as now they only have to brandish two good reasons. Researchers at major security companies such as Kaspersky Lab and Sophos say that the Mac has yet another Trojan attacker, following Flashback, that can steal information from a system once infected.
The Sabpab Trojan represents a second round of malware targeted at users of Mac machines. The earlier Flashback, according to some reports, may have succeeded in infecting as many as 600,000 Mac systems. Flashback was designed to get installed on as many machines as possible so that its operators could profit from scams such as click fraud. Apple resolved the mess by issuing a patch while other companies offered up their own clean-up tools for detection and removal. Observers expressed concerns over how Apple was late in presenting its own tool to remove the Flashback malware, while, outside Apple, other firms had issued their free offerings.
With this latest Trojan, the exploiters are able to grab screenshots from infected Macs, upload and download files, and execute commands remotely. According to reports, the malware takes advantage of the same security flaw in Java that Flashback exploited.
Two unsettling features of the new malware are that this is a back-door Trojan that does not require any user interaction to infect and, according to Costin Rau, a security expert with Kaspersky, the Trojan is an advance persistent threat (APT) attack in an active stage.
The definition of APT varies from one security group to another, but it is not trivial. The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) defines APT as an adversary that possesses sophisticated levels of expertise and significant resources which allow it to create opportunities to achieve its objectives using multiple attack vectors. Mandiant, an information security company, calls the APT a sophisticated and organized cyber attack to access and steal information from compromised computers. The attacks used by the APT intruders are not very different from any other intruder, says the company; the difference is in the intruders perseverance and resources. They have malicious code (malware) that circumvents common safeguards such as anti-virus and they tend to generate more activity than wanton drive by hacks on the Internet."
The APT threat is using IP addresses that have been known to wage similar attacks on Windows users, according to Kaspersky.
Sophos sources, meanwhile, say that the Sabpab is not believed to be as widespread as Flashback, but it is yet another wakeup call for Mac users that security is no longer a non-issue. Security on the Mac has become a key issue.
