Background Bits …
Good morning bloggers, I hope you all had a lovely weekend
I have another sneak peek for you today of the latest stamps, it's a great mix of backgrounds, sentiments and tags which we have called PRETTY VINTAGE. As you can tell from the name most of them are quite vintage in style but with a Lili of the Valley take on them so not too grungy!
This is one of the new Background Bits
These are clear A5 sets and there are 4 on a sheet, they are smaller versions of the fab Vintage Backgrounds which have 2 on a sheet
This lovely design is on a set called Old Romance
The tags are brilliant, these are going to be so useful and there are 3 sets of them… Madame, Monsieur and Le Jardin
These 2 are from the Le Jardin set
Hope you like it, I'll put all the details on my own blog later today so pop over and say hello if you get chance
I'll be back in the morning with our final card from Jane who's been our guest designer for May and I also have news about our next event at the Lili of the Valley shop which is this coming Saturday June 1st
Have a good day

Professor Lisa Chavez accused of illegal behavior by former University of New Mexico student
Angela Maria Williams, former Daily Lobo editor, a graduate of the UNM creative writing program and a former student of Lisa Chavez engaged in an emotional rant in today's New Mexico DAILY LOBO.
Ms. Williams is particularly distressed about the resignation of Sharon Warner as Director of the UNM Creative Writing Program. According to Sharon Warner, she resigned as a form of protest against the UNM administration decision not to
sanction Lisa Chavez for engaging with a student in a website sm performance. The Warner resignation was completely a voluntary one. I gather it was an act of moral conscience at least as seen by Professor Warner.
Ms. Williams demeaned Warner's resignation when she stated: "It alarms me even more that Warner was coerced into resigning for doing the right thing." And then went on to state: "I want to convey my heartfelt regret that Warner had to leave this way."
Williams does not present an iota of evidence that Warner was coerced to leave or had to leave. Warner never stated that such was the case. If she was coerced and the Warner resignation did not represent a form of voluntary protest, then Williams should come forward with evidence of this coercion of Sharon Warner.
In addition, Williams engages in a form of over dramatization when she characterizes Warner's resignation as a "stunning blow" not just to the English Department but to the entire University since she was such a great teacher and did so much to create an excellent creative writing program." The fact is that Warner continues to teach at UNM, and did not give up her tenure at UNM. And if, as Williams states, she was so successful in establishing such a strong creative writing program, there would be a number of excellent professors in the program who could and would step in as director of the program. If the creative writing program is all about Sharon Warner and said program cannot survive without her, such is a very poor reflection on both Warner and the creative writing program she created.
Williams goes on to bash Lisa Chavez for in her terms engaging in a sexual act with a student and for Williams sexual acts also include "posing in sadomasochistic photos ." She goes on to strongly imply that Chavez had sexually harassed the SM posing student since she believes: "The power in any such situation belongs entirely to the professor, and this is the reason we have sexual harassment laws in the first place." She then asks: "Why was Chavez not properly punished for what amounts to repeated acts of sexual harassment?"
She was not punished since there was no sexual harassment. To have sexual harassment you need a complainant and Williams entirely ignores the fact that the student, Liz Derrington, has publicly stated in no uncertain terms that her participation was completely voluntary. In fact in a blog interview, Derrington states that the major problem she has experienced is that few take her seriously. Her interpretations of her own experience are simply dismissed by all too many persons. And this is exactly what Williams does-she dismisses her as a person with no power, as essentially faceless and non-existent. What Williams purports that Chavez did to the student does not compare as to how badly Williams treats the student, how utterly disrespectfully she has treated Derrington in her essay.
Then Williams attempts to finish off Professor Chavez when she states: "What Chavez did was wrong, unethical and, above all, illegal." Above all, illegal! This is the first time I have heard a charge of illegality lodged against Chavez. Indeed, such is a very serious charge. If Williams knows that some form of illegality has occurred, minimally she should tell us what it is exactly and going beyond the readers of her rant, she should go to the Albuquerque district's attorney's office with evidence of said illegality. But she hasn't, and I trust that she won't since the illegality is probably a figment of her imagination. If I am wrong, Williams can quickly prove the wrong beliefs of the dankprofessor, by going to the appropriate authorities in Albuquerque.
Williams states that she has "utmost respect for Warner. She has proven to me consistently over the years that she is one of the most dedicated and competent faculty members at UNM." The fact that Williams believes that Sharon Warner is one of the most dedicated faculty members at UNM is beside the point. What is to the point is that Warner has been involved in a campaign to get rid of Chavez, and as part of that campaign she is willing to sacrifice her involvement in the UNM creative writing program. Such is Warner's right to protest and to resign.
What Williams misses is the utter lack of respect by her and Warner and others directed toward Chavez. I do not know of Professor Chavez engaging in any disrespectful behavior. And what is needed at the University of New Mexico is a lot more respect to be demonstrated by all the involved parties.

Curiosity version 2: Molyneux confirms update, discusses crossover with Godus
Curiosity: What's Inside the Cube? is gearing up for a version update, creator Peter Molyneux has confirmed to VG247. The developer also discussed how the Curiosity app will help his studio develop its first full title Godus, which is . Get the quotes below.
Speaking with VG247, Molyneux discussed how the Curiosity experiment is helping 22 Cans create Godus, and teased his plans for Curiosity's version 2 update.
"There's a couple of tech things, and one of those tech things is slightly sensitive to talk about, given what happened with Curiosity. One of those tech things is if we take multiplayer – how does that actually work? – and you can see that stuff in Curiosity.
"We're working on version two now, I've been looking at it today. Now you really can see other people's patterns as they happen. There's not a delay. If someone taps, you see it immediately."
That large scale multiplayer tech is what Molyneux has been experimenting with in Curiosity for Godus, which is a re-imagining of the developer's first release Populous. In Godus, players play a god who can rip, sculpt and fashion the landscape however they see fit using touch on mobile, or with a mouse on PC.
It has competitive and cooperative multiplayer that sees players moving the earth together – similar to idea that Curiosity players will see other tappers obliterating 'cubelets' in real-time. Molyneux stated that the notion is a good fit for Godus.
"Using that technology in something like Godus… it would be so cool to have lots of people connected together in the same world, but we're going to go into details of that next week.
"The other thing is, there is this question about how enjoyable is it to do simple things. Now, the simple things in Curiosity are the taps, and you cannot get simpler than that. It's the baseline of simple, but how enjoyable can you make that action?
"There's some interesting things, as I assumed with Curiosity that people would only tap 100-200 times in maybe a day, then maybe come back to do a tiny bit of tapping. But I've been blown away at how beheld lots of people feel in just tapping, going on and to keep on tapping.
"That is fascinating. In version two of Curiosity we're introducing a new way to destroy cubelets, as we want to make that a bit deeper than it is now. It's quite cool, and then you'll be able to see more of the link to Godus."
Molyneux also responded to fears among the Kicktarter community that Godus would be multiplayer focused, stating that single player will be just as important.
"Godus is as much a single player game as it's a multiplayer game. Because people are getting confused that it's just multiplayer. There is a single player world, and as part of that single player world you have a land that persists whether you're on these things called 'Crusades' or not.
"That land will be connected to lots of other lands. Next week you'll see exactly what I mean by that."
We'll have our full Godus interview with Peter Molyneux interview online soon, where he discusses god powers, land manipulation, cult followers and other gameplay mechanics. Stay tuned.

Sandra Bullock is so over Jesse James that she's actually saying nice things about him in her first major interview since their breakup.
James followed Bullock to Austin, where the Oscar winner moved after their breakup. But although pals of the motorcycle maven have said he hopes to reconcile some day, he was seen last weekend canoodling in Las Vegas with "LA Ink" star Kat Von D.
"And yes, Jesse and I are dating," Von D tweeted Wednesday before deleting the post, according to Usmagazine.com.
U.S. & World
Bullock doesn't sound like she cares either way.
"I support Jesse in his move to Austin," Bullock, 46, told People magazine. "We have both moved on with our lives and only want the best for each other. Anything else that is said on my behalf is inaccurate."
Bullock finalized her adoption of 8-month-old son Louis Aug. 13, surrounded by friends and her sister Gesine in a New Orleans courtroom. The little boy seems to be the only man Bullock needs in her life right now.
"She is so in love with her child," a source told the magazine.
James, 41, may be getting the message that he blew his chances with Bullock and his future lies with a decidedly different class of dames. In addition to Von D, another one-time paramour is getting closer to him, even if she's not exactly welcome. James' pre-Bullock ex, former porn star Janine Lindemulder has told RadarOnline she's going to Austin to live in a trailer and be near the daughter she shares with James.
"I will live in a modest trailer park, and I've already told Sunny that she will go from the mansion (where her dad lives) to the trailer but I'll do whatever it takes to be close to my daughter," Lindemulder said.
"I think he's starting to grasp reality a bit more," a James pal told People.

· Winners are notified by email 7 days after the video is posted in 1st Flick.
· Submitters are not notified if their video is rejected.
· All rejected submissions are delted after 90 days.
· Videos submitted to 1st Flick are not posted anywhere other than 1st Flick or 2nd Flick, except for x-rated videos which are forwarded to HushX Flicks.
The submit requirements for 1st Flick differ from those of other galleries. Please read and understand the requirements below before submitting your videos.
· fresh and good quality amateur softcore videos.
· all x-rated content to be submitted to HushX Flicks.
· 5 files maximum per email.
· archives and split archives in single or multiple emails.
· minors or other illegal content.
· videos which are copyrighted or have website overlays.
· videos which exceed 200MB total.
No problem, just chop your video to smaller bits!
Free email providers often have a sending limit of about 25MB per email these days, so we reccommend splitting the video into multiple 20MB size parts and sending each part in a separate email. Our system is clever and can put your video back together for you.
How to use WinRAR to split your video files:
Download and install WINRAR
1) In Explorer, right-click your video and choose 'Add to archive...'.
Tip: Don't have this option? Open WinRAR, go to Options>Setings>Integration, enable 'Integrate WinRAR into shell'.
2) In the WinRAR window, look for 'Split to volumes' and enter '20 mb' (without the ' symbols).
3) Click OK. Your files will now be split into multiple parts of approximately 20.5MB.
Note: The total size of all split files will be much less than your original video - this is normal.
4) Attach the first part to a new email.
Note: The subject of the email should be something like Hot webcam girl 1 of 3 so we know which part it is and how many parts there should be.
5) Send email and repeat until all parts are sent.
Good luck!!

The months of November and December always seem to move by so fast!
Thanksgiving with its wonderful weather was a welcome change, and I was even more gratified by having some time to discuss genealogy with my family, albeit in an underhanded way. My parents are not terribly sentimental people, but I noticed they reminisced a bit more than usual during the few days we were together for Thanksgiving. And for that reason alone, I was exceptionally grateful. I felt pretty cool when I showed my Granny the Ancestry App on the iPad. She still doesn't care two figs for the Ancestry App, but she does want an iPad. You go Granny!
I'm grateful for the holidays, as I will have some extra time around the end of the month to work on a few projects that have piled up by my computer:
1) Projects/Assignments/Research from my University of Strathclyde Genealogy Course – I have honestly never been this worked up about producing quality results in my life. If I take anything away from this course, it will be a firm understanding of the obsessive cult of source citation.
2) Transcribing Family Search Michigan County Death Records 1921-1952 – I've really been really pumped about this project! If you've been conducting any sort of Michigan research, you probably noticed the gap in online death record availability. This is frustrating as Michigan has a great history of record keeping; Birth/Marriage/Deaths were required at the county level beginning in 1867.
There is no 'one stop shopping' site for Michigan death records. Think of the journey as a bizarre road from Family Search's Michigan Deaths 1867-1897, Seeking Michigan's Death Records 1897-1920, and Ancestry's Michigan Deaths 1971-1996.
The completion of Family Search's Michigan County Death Records 1921-1952 will bring light to a much needed record set, and hopefully create more availability for records from 1953 onward. And it will also save genealogists quite a bit of coin, as Michigan death record requests run about $24 each.
3) Genealogical Presentations – I've been preparing/updating four presentations including:
- What's the Buzz About BillionGraves?
- Notes from a Small Island – Discovering Records on FindMyPast.uk
- Peeling Back the Plaid – Revealing the Records of ScotlandsPeople
- Piecing Together Your Irish Ancestry – Discovering Records on FindMyPast.ie
If you want to preview one of my Ohio State Genealogical Society 2013 Conference seminars, bring your friends and stop in to the FPLD Genealogy Club meeting on Wednesday, January 9, 2013 at 7 pm. I'm presenting What's the Buzz About BillionGraves, and your feedback and comments are most welcome. Plus there's hot beverages and cookies, and who doesn't like those?
4) Civil War Veteran Biographies – I'm working in conjunction with the Bolingbrook Historical Preservation Commission to compile biographies of local Civil War Veterans buried in our area cemeteries. We're looking for photographs (I'm stressing ANY PHOTOGRAPHS!) of each veteran and informational details, which will be printed and displayed in the cemeteries for Memorial Day and again in the library during our special summer 2013 Civil War programs. Stay tuned for more details on this project!
5) BillionGraves Headstone Transcriptions – This is an end of the day wind-down project and something I look forward to working on when my folks are busy watching television. I keep voting we play Monopoly, Yatzee, or something, but sadly TiVo wins every time. *sigh*
6) Michael Wood's Story of England – Due to school work, projects, and other research, I tend to stream my entertainment via Netflix. I mainly use my TV for watching the occasional DVD, which tend to be of the non-fiction variety. I'm a multi-tasker, and sitting to watch something is difficult. Since I need to finish a few more scarves before Christmas, I grabbed Michael Wood's Story of England, and began knitting away. If you haven't gotten around to watching it, please do so! It's an excellent look at the story of men and women through genealogy, history, anthropology, archeology, and all those additional social sciences which contribute England's rich cultural heritage. While you're at it, I highly endorse Michael Wood's additional programs which include In Search of Myths and Heroes, In Search of the Trojan War, The Story of India, In the Footsteps of Alexander the Great, In Search of Shakespeare, Legacy: The Origins of Civilization, and Conquistadors.
Enjoy your winter holiday break!

(To be read in continuation of my earlier paper of September 4,2008, titled "US Special Forces Launch Hit & Withdraw Raid in S. Waziristan"at http://www.southasiaanalysis.org/papers29/paper2832.html )
The car bomb explosion outside the Indian Embassy in Kabul on July 7,2008, has boomeranged on Pakistan. According to reliable Pakistanipolice sources, the US has been able to collect independent evidence from its own sources that the plan for the explosion was drawn up byserving officers of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and executed through a suicide bomber selected by Serajuddin Haqqani, sonof Jalalludin Haqqani, the senior Taliban Commander.
2. These sources say that while the US has conclusive evidence on the role of some serving officers of the ISI in organising the explosion, itstill does not have adequate evidence to show whether Lt.Gen.Nadeem Taj, the Director-General of the ISI, who is related to Gen.(retd)Pervez Musharraf, was in the picture and whether clearance had been obtained at the political level.
3. The US generally does not act upon intelligence against Pakistan provided by India due to the possibility that it may be motivated. Itacts only when it is able to collect independent evidence from its own sources. The US has not yet been able to identify all the ISI officers,who had played a role in organising this attack just as it was able to identify in 1992-93 all the ISI officers, including Lt.Gen.Javed Nasir, thethen DG of the ISI, who had instigated the Afghan Mujahideen not to sell back the unused Stinger missiles to the US.
4. It may be recalled that after assuming office in January,1993, the then US President Bill Clinton had placed Pakistan in a list of suspectedState-sponsors of international terrorism and pressured Nawaz Sharif, the then Prime Minister, to sack Lt.Gen.Nasir and other officersidentified. Only thereafter was Pakistan's name removed from that list.
5. If the US succeeds in identifying all the officers involved in the Kabul explosion, it may demand their removal from the ISI. It is reportedthat the US investigation has not yet reached that stage.
6. However, the information so far collected by the US investigators on the role of some serving officers of the ISI in the Kabul explosion hasconfirmed the suspicions which it already had even before the Kabl explosion that some serving officers of the ISI and other wings of thePakistan Army have been leaking to Al Qaeda and the Taliban intelligence collected by the US agencies through human and technicalmeans. These suspicions arose following the arrest of some Pashtun tribals by the Taliban and their execution on charges of working forthe US intelligence.
7. Previously, the US was aware that some retired senior officers of the Pakistan Army and its ISI such as Nasir, Lt.Gen.(retd) Hamid Gul,another former DG, etc were allegedly helping the Taliban and Al Qaeda through advice and information. The US also had some vaguesuspicion of the involvement of serving ISI officers at junior level, who had served under Nasir and Gul, when they headed the ISI. Theinvestigation into the Kabul explosion reportedly confirmed the involvement of serving ISI officers even at senior levels.
8. Alarmed by this discovery, the US is reported to have stopped sharing sensitive intelligence with Pakistani Army and ISI officers. Underthe rules of engagement followed till the middle of July, while the US intelligence acted on all information, which called for instant airstrikes, it left it to the Pakistan Army to carry out ground operations where instant follow-up was not required. It was decided in July, withthe approval of President George Bush, that ground-level follow-up would also be done by the US special forces without informing theirPakistani counterparts.
9. The "New York Times" and the BBC, quoting American official sources, have reported that Bush signed a classified order in Julyauthorising ground actions inside Pakistani territory in the tribal belt by the US forces without informing the Pakistan Army beforehand.According to other sources unrelated to the NYT and the BBC,only after the US forces have withdrawn from the Pakistani territory wouldtheir action and the justification for it would be conveyed to the Pakistan Army. It is not clear whether the Presidential orders specify thedepths up to which US forces can enter into Pakistani territory.
10. There are three possible types of cross-border special operations. The first is the hot pursuit into Pakistani territory to kill or capturemembers of the Taliban or Al Qaeda fleeing after attacking NATO forces in the Afghan territory. The second is air-borne raids on suspectedterrorist hideouts to kill or capture Taliban or Al Qaeda operatives on the basis of intelligence about their presence in the hide-outs. Thethird is search and destroy operations on the basis of general and not specific intelligence regarding the location of training camps etc. Itwould seem that only the first two kinds of cross-border operations have been authorised for the present. These would involve the presencein Pakistani territory of the US forces for a very short duration. These would be hit and withdraw or hit and quit operations. The search anddestroy operations, which could involve a longish stay of the US forces in Pakistani territory, do not appear to have been authorised for thepresent.
11. The first raid in Pakistani territory under the new orders took place in the early hours of the morning of September 3,2008, when USSpecial Forces launched a hit and withdraw attack on three houses in the village of Jalal Khel, also known locally as Moosa Nika, in theAngoor Adda area of South Waziristan. The houses were located about one KM inside Pakistani territory from the border with Afghanistan.The village is about one kilometre from Angoor Adda and seven kilometres from the US military base at Machadat in Afghanistan's Paktikaprovince. The raid did not find any high-profile operative of Al Qaeda or the Taliban in the houses raided.The fact that the raid was made soclose to a Frontier Corps (FC)post and that the FC personnel did not react indicated a possible understanding between Admiral Mike Mullen,Chairman, US Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Gen. Ashfaq Pervez Kayani, Pakistan's Chief of the Army Staff (COAS), when they met on board anAmerican aircraft-carrier on August 26, 2008, about the circumstances under which US Special Forces could launch hit and withdraw raidson suspected hide-outs of Al Qaeda and the Taliban in Pakistani territory close to the Afghan border without prior intimation to the Pakistani posts.
12. The speculation that the raid was made in pursuance of a secret understanding with Kayani created some embarrassment for thePakistan Government and Army. They condemned the raid, but in a low profile manner. But the reports from Washington on September10,2008, which quoted official sources as saying that Bush himself had authorised such raids without informing the Pakistan Army added tothe embarrassment of the Government and the Army. The embarrassment was increased further by comments made openly by Bush in anaddress to the National Defence University at Washington DC on September 9,2008, on the eve of the seventh anniversary of the 9/11terrorist strikes in the US Homeland by Al Qaeda.Bush named Pakistan as among the major battlegrounds in the global war on terrorism andreminded Islamabad that it was its responsibility to eradicate terrorism from the tribal areas. He said: "Defeating these terrorists andextremists is also Pakistan's responsibility — because every nation has an obligation to govern its own territory and make certain that itdoes not become a safe haven for terror." He described Iraq, Afghanistan and "parts of Pakistan" as " theatres in the same overall struggle.In all three places, extremists are using violence and terror in an attempt to impose their ideology on whole populations.They murder toimpose their dark vision of the world."
13.In an unusually strong statement on September 10,2008, Kayani said that his forces would not tolerate such incursions and woulddefend the country's sovereignty "at all costs." "No external force is allowed to conduct operations inside Pakistan," he added. Was it only aproforma protest to conceal any Pakistani secret approval of such raids or was it an expression of genuine indignation? It would be difficultto answer this question at present.

Teaching "Grick" to my Children
As a homeschool dad, I've prided myself on not being one of those fanatical homeschoolers who tries to overdo things: you know, the ones who want their babies to be reading Aristotle, their toddlers to be concert violinists, and their kindergartners to be experts at pre-algebra. I've largely succeeded, but I do have a confession to make: I am trying to teach my children Greek. Yes, it sounds like I'm one of those smart-alecky fathers who wants his kids to know the original languages of the Bible better than their pastor does, but honestly, my reasons for doing it are largely pragmatic. They need to learn a language, and the ones I know best are Greek and Hebrew.
At any rate, now that you're convinced I "doth protest too much" about being an overly ambitious homeschool dad, I want to talk a little about how I'm using Accordance to teach "Grick" to my children. By the way, that's my best impersonation of the father in My Big Fat Greek Wedding, whose accent I mimic in order to inject a little humor.
The text I've been using is Bill Mounce's Basics of Biblical Greek, the second edition of which has long been available in Accordance. (We're working on the third edition, which should be available fairly soon.) I'll read from the text on my screen with my youngest daughter seated beside me. The three older kids sit across from us and share a printed copy. Jo Jo, age 2, is exempted for the time being! We're basically just working our way through the text slowly, and I'm really trying to make sure they understand the concepts behind what they're learning. I figure at the very least, this will help reinforce their English grammar even if they don't go on to become Greek scholars.
At this point, we've just gone over the first set of case endings which Mounce introduces. I had them write out Mounce's paradigm chart and begin memorizing the endings, but I wanted to make sure they understand how to use those endings to parse and translate individual words. Mounce's initial chart covers the nominative and accusative singular and plural endings for second declension masculine and neuter nouns, and first declension feminine nouns (a total of 12 endings). The example nouns he uses are λόγος, γραφή, ὥρα, and ἔργον. So I decided to do a search of the Greek New Testament for any of those words in the nominative or accusative, and then we all looked at various examples together. In an upcoming post, I'll tell you how I constructed the search and how I conducted the exercise. It ended up working pretty well. (Would I be blogging about it if it had bombed?) :-)
Archived Comments
a few days ago, my son (6) told me he wanted to learn to translate the bible... and i've been wondering how i would go about teaching him greek and hebrew... i have that module, so thanks for the compass so that we can start...
Thanks for the update on the 3rd Edition. I look forward to getting it soon.
Anyway to purchase Basics of Biblical Greek without having to get the whole Zondervan CD?

Some of the remotest corners of the earth are home to massive deposits of natural gas. But building modern and environmentally sound gas processing plants in the desert or the Arctic presents massive challenges – even for experienced engineers. To overcome the practical and cost efficiency hurdles presented by these hostile environments, Linde decided to build a team with the necessary expertise at its Competence Centre Modularisation (CCM). The modularisation concept involves the pre-fabrication of plant modules at Linde's designated yards and subsequent shipping to the assembly site.
Typical design of a modular air separation plant
Linde has been successfully taking the modularisation route for many years. By setting up the CCM, the company is now bundling the experience it has gained in the construction of complex plants for inaccessible places. Melkøya is an example of one such ambitious project realised by Linde engineers. The island, whose name literally means "Milk Island", is a small uninhabited speck of land to the far north of Norway. From here, the cities of St. Petersburg and Helsinki are nearer than the national capital Oslo. In fact, most travellers would never even have heard of it – unless they happened to pass it by on their way to the nearby port town of Hammerfest. For well over a decade, however, the names Hammerfest and Melkøya have been synonymous with impressive feats of engineering. This is where the Norwegian company Statoil operates Europe's most northerly natural gas liquefaction plant. The planning, construction and start-up were all managed by Linde.
Hammerfest is Europe´s northern-most city.
Moving on to the southerly tip of Europe
The LNG plant in the Norwegian Sea was an impressive and pioneering project which pushed the engineers into new terrain – and not just geographically! The coldbox, which is where the natural gas is liquefied by cooling it to minus 163 degrees Celsius, is as large as a 20-storey building. 62 metres high and 3,500 tonnes in weight, the entire box was shipped to the island after being assembled in Antwerp, Belgium. Other components, such as the floating process plant – a 35,000-tonne concrete giant equipped with high-tech process modules – travelled around the entire continent by ship from the southern Spanish city of Cadiz.
The difficult conditions at the shipping destination explain these elaborate transport arrangements. If nothing exists at your destination, you have no choice but to bring everything there. "There are no people, there is no infrastructure and no proper energy supply – so you basically have to start from scratch," says Christian Proske, Head of CCM. Then there is the high cost of labour in countries like Norway and Australia. If the number of on-site workers that need board, lodging and wages can be kept to a minimum, the overall costs of the plant can be reduced.
Proven, secure fabrication hubs
In the case of the LNG plant in Kwinana, Australia, several factors added to the appeal of modularisation. Apart from the high labour costs and lack of infrastructure, the intense heat of Western Australia makes it very difficult to realise complex construction projects. The solution for Linde was to have the plant pre-fabricated in Thailand and transported to Kwinana by ship. "My yard is a proven and secure environment," explains Proske. "I have a team that knows what it's doing and cranes in situ, so I need less scaffolding and face less risk due to adverse weather conditions."
Linde has now established a global network of yards to assemble complete modules or even entire plants, including sites in Thailand, Portugal and Mexico. Further cooperation agreements are in the pipeline. The benefits of modularisation for customers include customised designs, shorter transport routes and lower costs.
Trump card
In previous projects, modularisation only came into play at the planning stage. In future, Linde wants to pull the modular versus on-site stick-build decision forward to the very start of preparations.
"We cannot say that one method is generally better than the other," says Proske, who recommends deciding on a case-by-case basis. "We will not necessarily opt for modularisation every time. Our job is to establish the best concept for each project and then follow that path."
Floating LNG plants
The advantages of modularisation are particularly evident in the case of floating LNG plants. Here, Linde is part of a consortium seeking to unlock natural gas reserves located far offshore and liquefy the gas on the spot. Floating LNG platforms could be used in the Arctic or for gas fields stranded in the middle of the ocean.
"This is an interesting opportunity for us," reckons Proske. "The outer shell of the ship looks like an oil tanker, and then you have all the process modules on deck – an entire plant producing liquefied natural gas on the open sea." Based on the experience gained in recent years, Proske now sees the company in "a much strong position". It looks like it's full steam ahead for Linde in the area of modularisation!

I've always wondered about certain kinds of nouns, a particular example is worth. As in:
It is worth 100 dollars, It is worth it, It is not worth anything.
In which they handle direct objects, like transitive verbs. This isn't applicable for nouns like, say, 'cat' or 'monster'. Worth can also be used in embeds. Eg:
The car worth ten thousand finally sold.
I can't think of any use alone apart from the idiomatic 'It has some worth'.
Am I misled? Or is this a thing like I think it is? Is there any information and other examples?

Anyone know a way to turn off weapon bob? Tried editing the UDKGame.ini file but it doesn't appear to work. I always felt that mouse movement felt floaty, and I realised after coming back to Toxikk it is because of the movement of the weapon in reaction to my movement. I have to ignore the weapon movement or else it throws my aim off, especially when using the Violator.
Also, any chance of having this as an option in the menu? Same goes with head bob and camera shake if possible. Thanks in advance.

Welcome back everyone, to the first hour of the season premiere of the final season of Lost -- Darlton's final stab at remotely lobotomizing millions of people, each week.
Jack's on a plane -- not just any plane -- Oceanic flight 815 from Sydney, Australia, to Los Angeles, Calif. He's got the window seat, but the aisle seat is empty, so he talks to his nice row-mate (Rose!) whose husband (Bernard!) is in the loo.
The flight attendant (Cindy!) stiffens his drink for him. Rose is (this time) as cool as a cucumber, but Jack gets awfully tense when they hit some turbulence. The plane shakes, rattles and damn near rolls and then... everything is okay! Don't tell me it worked. Bernard returns to his seat next to his wife. Jack decides he'll take advantage of the plane's lavatory too. While in it, he notices a bloody mark on his neck.
U.S. & World
When he returns to his seat, Desmond is sitting in the previously empty aisle seat, brutha. Jack asks if they know one another. Desmond isn't sure, so he introduces himself and they exchange pleasantries. Jack seems disconcerted by the meeting, so he looks out the window, as do we. We see nothing but fluffy white clouds, and then the sound man and camera man start messing with our heads.
We hear the sound of a rapid descent, and we're led down through the clouds, to the ocean, underneath it, past the sunken remains of New Otherton, before stopping in front of the remains of old Four-Toes' foot. And remember, I said sunken remains, so THIS IS ALL UNDER THE WATER. Dun, dun, dun. DUN!
Black screen. Title card.
Next, we're treated to a review of the final moments in last season's finale, "The Incident." The crew tries to save Juliet from the big hole o' magnetism. They can't. Sawyer cries. She cries. They love each other. She bangs the dud hydrogen bomb with a rock. FLASH! White screen.
Nighttime: Kate wakes up in a tree. Her hearing is shot, as if, perhaps, she was deafened by a hydrogen bomb. She climbs down from the tree and finds Miles Straume, who is also hard of hearing. They find Jack lying in the jungle, even though he's on the plane with Bernard and Rose, or possibly under the water with Four Toes' foot. They see a gaping pit in the ground. But it's not from Juliet detonating the bomb. It's from when Des blew up the Swan hatch, which means -- they think -- that the bomb didn't go KABOOM, but does it? Next they run into Sawyer, who kicks Jack in the head and down into the Swan hatch pit, and screams down after Jack that Juliet's dead because he was wrong. Oh yeah, baby. Lost is back. Or nearly so. I don't think Jack's cried yet.
For the rest of the hour, we bounce back and forth between the alternate-reality plane trip (daytime) on Sept.22, 2004 and nighttime on the island, on whatever post-hatch-explosion date they've landed. They all flashed to wherever and whenever they are now. And? Juliet's not dead.
She's in the lower levels of the hatch pit, covered with hatch debris (from when Des made the hatch go splodey). The rest of the time on the island involves the group's efforts (the full group is Jack, Kate, Miles, Sawyer, Juliet, Jin, Hurley, and Sayid) to free Juliet from the Hatch ruins.
Okay, Hurley's not helping. He's tending to Sayid who is not helping, because he's still dying from the wounds he got last season. I should mention Hurley is also taking instructions from Jacob, who looks pretty alive, but says he is dead and that Hurley is the only one of them who can see him. Jacob says to get Sayid and the others to the Temple. Sayid will be saved and they'll all be safe if they do.
We also take a trip to the foot of the statue. Inside, Esau's still wearing his Locke Meatsuit, so I'm calling him Faux-Locke for clarity. Faux-Locke snatches a post-homicidal Ben back from the brink of catatonia and tells him to bring him Richard. Ben goes outside, neglects to mention that HE KILLED JACOB, and tells Richard that Locke wants to see him inside.
Richard finds that curious, given how Locke's corpse is lying on the sand. Finally, Ilana's biggest goon (Bram) says he and his crew are going in, but Ben's leading the way. The guys all go in the foot. I don't see Ilana follow, but my brain function is at an all-time low. Faux-Locke tells them Jacob is dead. Bram and crew start shooting at Faux-Locke. Ben takes cover. Faux-Locke disappears. But soon there's a rattle, rattle, rattle which can only mean one thing. SMOKEY! He wafts in and smites all but Ben, and then disappears. Ben crawls out from his hiding place, and while he's surveying the carnage, Faux-Locke reappears and confirms he and SMOKEY are one when he says, "I'm sorry you had to see me like that."
Black screen.
Meanwhile, back at the pit, the gang uses the Dharma Blue VW Bus to drag some debris off of the top of the hatch pit, and poor Juliet, who is buried somewhere beneath. Sawyer climbs down to free her. He finally gets the beams and bikes and whatever else off her and holds her in his arms as he tells her not to worry. She non-sequiturs: "We should get coffee sometime." Sawyer's no Doc, but even he knows that can't be good, so he groans that he's got to get her out of there. She adds, "We can do Dutch." He tries to break through her fog. Finally, Juliet says his name. She asks him to kiss her. He does, and then she says, "I have to tell you something. It's really, really important."
JAMES: "You tell me. Tell me."
JULIET: *dies*
I'm sorry to make light, I love her, and I love them together, but that scene just hit my funny bone. Anyhow, James carries Juliet's body out of the very bottom of the pit, to the upper level, where the rest of the gang can see him. Everyone's broken hearted that she's gone. Sawyer shoots bullets at Jack with his eyes. "You did this."
Meanwhile, the plan lands safely in L.A. and everyone disembarks and starts on their own ways. And you know, a lot happened on that plane, but this is a recaplet, dammit. Jack saved Charlie from killing himself, and then Charlie got arrested. Locke got to know Damon Salvatore; Hurley declared himself the luckiest man alive, and Desmond disappeared. I'll cover all that and much, much more in the full recap, but right now, I've got to go watch "LA X, Part II." I'll see you soon.
While Cindy's putting her brain back together, watch the full episode now. Check back soon for the recap.

Cameron and the Referendum Game
January 31, 2013
Tom McGuire
David Cameron finally gave his long-awaited speech on Britain's relationship with the EU last Wednesday morning promising Britain an in/out referendum on its membership of the EU. This referendum would come after the next election, and only if he does not succeed in changing the relationship as he hopes to over the coming months, and indeed years. This appeared to be a bold and surprising move from a Prime Minister usually averse to making his position so clear. Beneath the surface it was vintage David Cameron; the Prime Minister distilled into his purest form, in the shape of this one speech.
The promise of a referendum was that special type of promise: the David Cameron promise, the kind that upon closer inspection is nothing of the sort. Making any firm pledge on 'when-I-win-the-next-election' grounds is dubious for any politician; it is particularly problematic for David Cameron. With the Lib Dems withdrawal of support for boundary changes he seems increasingly unlikely to command an outright majority after 2015, having failed to win one in 2010 when it was his to lose. We have also seen the Prime Minister twist, turn and weasel his way out of a number of apparently firm positions on a variety of issues throughout his term of office. Most recently, most glaringly and most shockingly, when he overturned his prior assertion that he would adopt the recommendations of the Leveson Inquiry if they were not 'bonkers'. They weren't, he didn't, and tellingly nobody was remotely surprised. This is a man whose promises carry little weight, even by politicians' standards. Read more of this post

TUESDAY, June 2, 2009 (HealthDay News) -- Television reduces verbal interaction between parents and infants, which could delay children's language development, says a U.S. study that challenges claims that certain infant-targeted DVDs actually benefit youngsters.
The researchers studied 329 children, aged 2 months to 48 months, and found that for each additional hour of television exposure, there was a decrease of 770 words (7 percent) heard from an adult by the children. The study also found that the more hours spent watching television, the fewer vocalizations infants made when adults talked to them.
"Some of these reductions are likely due to children being left alone in front of the television screen, but others likely reflect situations in which adults, though present, are distracted by the screen and not interacting with their infant in a discernable manner," wrote Dr. Dimitri A. Christakis, of Seattle Children's Hospital, and colleagues.
"At first blush, these findings may seem entirely intuitive. However, these findings must be interpreted in light of the fact that purveyors of infant DVDs claim that their products are designed to give parents and children a chance to interact with one another, an assertion that lacks empirical evidence," they noted.
The researchers added that their results may help explain previous findings of a link between television viewing and delayed language development.
"Given the critical role that adult caregivers play in children's linguistic development, whether they talk to their child while the screen is on may be critical and explain the effects that are attributed to content or even amount of television watched," the team wrote. "That is, whether parents talk less (or not at all) during some types of programs or at some times of the day may be as important in this age group as what is being watched."
The study appears in the June issue of the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine.

The Ruth Hyman Jewish Community Center of Monmouth County in Ocean Township, NJ, closed its fitness area and the two gyms at the facility due to insufficient funds to operate the facility. Last December, the center was forced to close its playschool before filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
Operating on memberships and donations from community members, the 110,000-square-foot Ruth Hyman JCC has evaded three Monmouth County Sheriff's sales after TD Bank initiated foreclosure on the facility in spring 2011. Currently, only the Yeshiva at the Jersey Shore day school and the Axelrod Performing Arts Center remain open. The Yeshiva school will remain open until at least June, while the Axelrod Theater will continue its programming with a children's production in May.
Keith Krivitky, executive director of the Jewish Federation of Monmouth County, told Club Industry in February that the problem the center faced could not be solved by money alone. He had offered the Federation's support to the facility after the initial sheriff's sale, and he had planned to develop a better business model to continue operations.
The Deal Sephardic Network also offered its assistance in the negotiations with the JCC. Jeffrey Saka, president of the network's board of directors, told New Jersey Jewish News back in February that the process of negotiations is slow but it would continue.
Ian White, Jewish Federation of Monmouth County director of marketing and communications, had no additional news regarding the debt negotiations when contacted today.

Bombelli Light Hand Font by Wiescher Design
Bombelli is a font that looks like it has been handwritten by a meticulous architect in one of those hand-drawn blueprints of the old days. I chose the name to honor one of my ex-bosses -- a graphic designer-architect who taught me a lot of things when I was young and needed the money. One of the things he taught me – and probably the most important one – was to always be on time in the morning. He never said a word about me being late, but it worked. He taught me about being meticulous in detail and many other things I only appreciated much later. This clear and straightforward font deserves bearing his name.
Your grateful type designer Gert Wiescher

The Americans having vowed vengeance for the attack at Paoli (which they deemed a "massacre"), and that they would give no quarter, the soldiers of the Light Battalion declared that in order to prevent any one not engaged in the action from suffering on their account, that they would dye the feathers worn in their caps red, as a distinguishing mark, and, no doubt, to taunt the rebels with a reminder of the American blood that had been shed. (from http://www.hargreave-mawson.demon.co...y17641778.html)

Source: Orderly Book of Capt. Thomas Armstrong, 64th LI Coy (in the Washington Papers) found online or in the Library of Congress online site, dates Sept 15th – Oct 3rd 1977. confirms the composition of the 2nd LI Inf. Batt. The reconstruction of these battalions was possible owing to the research carried out by Thomas McGuire.
Note: The 42nd Coy LI at Paoli, with the infamous 2nd LI Batt., under Maj. J Maitland is nonsense, as JF42 stated, mistake made on online sites and PDF's.
42nd LI Coy was with 1st Batt. LI till late 1778.
According to: J. Browne, History of the Highlands, and of the Highland Clans, 4 vols., (London, Edinburgh and Dublin, 1845), IV, p.269. & M. Brander, The Scottish Highlanders and their Regiments, (London, 1971), p.164-165.
The Regiment served with distinction in many of the war's major engagements, such as the battles of Brooklyn Heights, Guildford Court House, Brandeywine Creek, and at Yorktown when Lord Cornwallis surrendered. It was during this war that the Regiment began to wear a red hackle in their hats, after General George Washington had written to an old acquaintance on the British side, Lieutenant Colonel Maitland, complimenting the latter on the conduct of the 71st Highlanders. In his reply, Lieutenant Colonel Maitland jocularly advised General Washington that the regiment would now wear a red hackle in their bonnets to ensure that the General did not overlook "doing justice to their exploits, in annoying his posts, and obstructing his convoys and detachments," as the General "was too liberal not to acknowledge merit, even in an enemy."
A Historical Account of Services of the 34th & 55th Regiments, by George Noakes, 1875. p. 27.
Howe receiving intelligence of this sent General Grey with the 42nd and 44th Regiments and the 2nd battalion of light Infantry, in which was the light companies of the 55th. To guard against accidents, Grey had ordered the men to take the flints out of their muskets, intending to trust to the bayonet alone, and from this circumstance he acquired the sobriquet of "No-flint Grey." The British fiercely attacked the Americans, the assailants had bayoneted more than 300, as taken 100 prisoners the rest escaped at night leaving their baggage behind. As the light battalion had in this sanguinary affair done then the greatest execution, the Americans, who were greatly exasperated, declared that in any future action they would give the "Light Bobs' no quarter. The "Light Bob's replied "They were ready for them"; and to prevent any others suffering on their account, they chivalrously dyed the feathers of their caps a red colour, and retaining the red feather as a distinguishing badge, bore it valiantly in the van of the army, and in the thickest of every fight, until the termination of the war. In one of these companies the distinction has been preserved to present day, for when the light companies returned to their regiments, and the light infantry battalion ceased to exist as such, the red feather seems to have disappeared in all except the light companies of the 46th Regiment. This retained the distinction either in the form of a red plume or tuft until flank companies were abolished, when still preserved by a red tuft, which was sectioned to the entire regiment. This distinction might have been accorded to the whole six regiments whose light companies composed the battalion alluded to, had they been as tenacious of their honours as the 46th had been; and to the absence of this must, we suppose, be attributed the fact that the 55th have sunk in abeyance a decoration which they appear to have worn with the same distinction as the other companies composing the light infantry battalion.
Notes and Queries. P.241.
In the October number of the PENNA. MAG., vol. xxxviii, pp. 504-6, we printed extracts from an interesting letter of Major J. H. T. Cornish-Bowden, of the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry Regiment, requesting data to verify a tradition relative to the addition of a red feather to the regimental badge, after the affair at Paoli. In reply the Editor PENNA. MAG. stated, that in his opinion, no correspondence could have taken place between Gen. Grey and Wayne's men owing to the divergent movements of both divisions immediately after the action, but it was probable, that the American prisoners verbally threatened their captors to retaliate with the bayonet on the next occasion, and this they did two weeks later at Germantown, where both divisions again faced each other. The serious wounding of Major Cornish-Bowden, in France, some months ago, interrupted our correspondence but since his removal to England, the following letter has been received: Leighton Lodge, 8th March 1915.
Dear Dr. Jordan.
Your letter of February 1st. has found me at last, but not until after having been out to France and back! I am sorry to say that, after six months, I am still in bed and without any immediate prospects of being able to get back to have a second innings against the world enemy. VOL. XXXIX.—16
Your copy of Lieut.-Colonel Hubley's letter of the year 1777 is most interesting and valuable. I am only sorry that, until the war is over and I can once more have access to my books and papers, I am prevented from either getting on with my work on regimental history or of verifying my statements. I hope you see how hard it is to throw overboard a belief of such respectable antiquity as that attached to our Red Feathers. From the chronology that you give it seems highly improbable that communications could have passed between the combatants. This I freely grant. On the other hand, I am sure that you will agree with me, that in matters historical tradition is of great value. My contention indeed goes somewhat beyond tradition, though it certainly falls short of authentic history. In the first half of the last century, an official at the War Office, was commissioned to write the history of certain regiments. Among others, he compiled that of the 46th Foot, now the 2d Battalion Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry. He seems evidently to have had access to official papers and so far as he goes he is generally supposed to be accurate. He gives the story of the Red Feathers practically as I related it to you. But he wrote fully eighty years after the event, so he cannot have had it from eye witnesses. His work is to a great extent composed of extracts from dispatches, of official letters, reports, etc. One or two of the letters refer to the incidents in an indirect manner. Usually some inspecting General found fault with the unauthorized tuft of red as worn by the regiment and a letter would be received, to the effect that in consideration of the romantic nature of the event related the authorities were pleased to allow the distinction to be continued. Unfortunately the petition setting forth the "romantic" circumstances has never been kept.
One thing is certain and that is that the 46th Regiment have worn a distinctive red mark in their head gear ever since memory can reach. Until Light Companies were abolished (after the Crimean War) it was borne by the officers and men of that company only. I have found a letter authorizing it to be borne by the whole unit in consideration of its interesting origin—details again not stated—on the occasion of the then reorganization. In one form and another the badge has been sanctified by a vast amount of blood. Cannot you see how impossible it is for us to knock it down and trample upon it because it refuses to fit into a cold historical niche? Yours sincerely, J. H. T. Cornish-Bowden.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. Thank you for posting.
There must be something in the water. I had been meaning to take up your point about the action at Paoli much sooner but was waiting for an opportunity to take a look at 'Black Watch at Ticonderoga' which I got hold of recently in the British Library at St Pancras.
"46th Note: The Two Feathers is a distinction of the 46th, a light company of which in 1777, with others were brigaded as "The Light Battalion." The Americans were so harassed by the Brigade that they vowed "No Quarter." In derision, to prevent mistakes the Light Battalion dyed their feathers red: the 46th alone retained the distinction."
(p.59 The Black Watch at Ticonderoga', Frederick Richards, Secy NYSHA 1911)
The idea of a link between the role of the Black Watch in the attack at Paoli Tavern and the origin of the Red Hackle in America is interesting. Given the folklore that surrounds the subject, it is surprising that there has never been serious suggestion of a connection between the fertile 'red feather tradition' associated with Paoli (e.g. the various versions elsewhere in this thread) and the 'red feather' of the 42nd. The important word is 'serious'. In 1968, Philip Howard, author of 'The Black Watch', a pocket history for the Leo Cooper 'Famous Regiments' series, came up with a weird concoction that mixed a garbled version of the defiant red feather of Paoli with the battle of Brandywine ten days earlier (where the 42nd apart from the flank coys remained in reserve) as well as an unnamed "bitter engagement" and threw in a reference to the Red Indians for good measure.
"For years the Highlanders had been decorating their bonnets with assorted feathers, perhaps in imitation of their Red Indian 'brothers'. There is a misty story of this period of the Americans, after some bitter engagement, saying they would take no prisoners next time. And before Brandywine the Black Watch and two other regiments who had been involved sent back word to the effect 'Very well, just so that you'll know us, we'll be wearing red feathers in our bonnets.'" ('The Black Watch,' 1968)
'Misty', indeed. Given the date he was writing, maybe he should have written 'smoky.' A little water with it and some careful research wouldn't have gone amiss.
To date we still have only the one reference for an American origin for the Red Hackle: Maj Gen James Stirling's matter-of-fact account from 1822 of the Black Watch being ordered by the C-in-C "to get the red feather" as some form of brigade TRF "to make the whole uniform". Even though in the same letter Gen Stirling refers to the red feather already being worn by the 2nd Light Infantry battalion, he makes no reference to the fight at Paoli or American revenge threats, perhaps because his account, although frustratingly vague, suggests that the red feather of both the 2nd LI and the 42nd predated the attack at Paoli by about six months to a year.
With regard to the material posted above by our friend Spaniard, it's important to note that the reference to the light company of the 42nd being attached to the soon-to-be notorious 2nd Light Infantry battalion in September 1777 is not correct.
I have pages 241-242 of Thomas McGuire's book 'Paoli' open in front of me and in the list of regiments with light companies attached to the 2nd LI Battalion on the eve of the attack at Paoli Tavern, taken from the orderly book of the 64th, the 42nd LI coy does not appear.
Shortly after the 42nd arrived in America in August 1776, their light company was attached to the 1st Light Infantry Battalion. The light companies of all those regiments wearing the blue facings of a 'Royal' regiment were grouped together in the 1st LI.
Head Quarters, Dyker's Ferry, 6th Aug. 1776 ...The Light Company of the 42d
Regiment to join the 1st Battalion Light Infantry
The 42nd LI coy continued in 1st LI until the light infantry battalions were merged in October 1778, so there can be no connection between the Red Hackle and the exploits of the 2nd LI through the 42nd 'light bobs.' If they wore any coloured distinction at that time it would have been a green feather, which Stirling and contemporary sources attach to the 1st LI.
This is borne out by Colonel James Stewart in a letter to Colonel David Stewart of Garth, after he had retired, which described how he joined 42nd : "About the close of the American campaign 1777 I was appointed a Lt in the 42nd Regt and a little before the Army went into Winter quarters at Philadelphia I joined the Light Company serving with the first Batt under Sir Robt Abercromby Summer and Winter I shared with them the severest duty I was ever engaged in till taken with Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown..."
To avoid possible confusion, it's also important to clarify that in the quotation from Browne's 'History of the Highlands etc' –
'It was during this war that the Regiment began to wear a red hackle in their hats'
-the regiment in question is not the 42nd but the 71st Regiment, or Fraser's Highlanders (second of that name). Browne's History was an update of Stewart of Garth's Sketches of the Highlanders, first published in 1822. In later editions, Stewart added an anecdote of the 71st very similar to that of the 2nd LI, telling of red feathers adopted during the War of Independence in defiance of vengeful Americans which, because also it contained a brief reference to a red feather "assumed by the Royal Highland Regiment" in 1795, has sometimes been taken to mean there was a connection between the two.
Why Stewart chose to bury this obscure reference to the Red Hackle in the history of another short-lived regiment, long disbanded, is a puzzle, considering that he made no mention of the subject at all in his main history of the Black Watch earlier on in the Sketches. Browne follows Stewart's cue and makes no reference to the red feather of the 42nd. It wasn't until Keltie's third update in 1875 that the origin of the 'red heckle' - or at least one version of it - was brought to a wider public. Ironically this had nothing to do with America, being the first popular account of the Geldermalsen story.
The suggestion that former soldiers of the 71st brought the custom of wearing a red feather to the 42nd in Nova Scotia after the American War doesn't hold water. There is evidence that their light coy did wear a red ostrich feather among the black feathers in their bonnets but there were only a handful of them transferred to the 42nd and, clearly, even if they were all wearing red feathers the Colonel would have had something to say on the matter. There is also the awkward fact that there is no authentic, contemporary evidence of a red feather being worn in the bonnets of the 42nd before 1802, when Loutherbourg's massive canvasses of the Egyptian campaign were finished. At that point the Red Hackle enters history. There is one ambiguous portrait at Balhousie which shows a red feather, apparently from 1789, but there are problematic elements and it still cannot be dated with confidence. We also have to consider that Ronald Cameron, Andrew Dowie and David Stewart of Garth, although in flawed references made long after the event, whatever the actual explanation, each remembered the Red Hackle as a novelty in 1795. This one will run and run.

Welcome to My Website and Who Am I?
I am the newbie to the philosophy faculty of Wittenberg University. Who am I? That's about an elusive as a question as where does air come from (not to mention why I have to pay 75 cents at the gas station for air that is free)….But I digress.
My research interests span from Russian Literature to Hip Hop Culture with a common thread being the doings and sufferings of people purposed toward voice and inclusion. In addition to being the former Education Spokesperson for the Rainbow Push Coalition, I am the founder of Project Eight (a youth service organization that focuses on leadership and civic participation) and has won numerous awards for his community commitment and engagement. As a young, socially conscious academic, I have been a guest on numerous radio and television shows as a social critic and education advisor. I am often sought to speak at Colleges, Prisons, and Community Organizations across America.
A philosopher's work is both omni-present and unceasing. As we continue to run this rat-race called life, someone needs to make sense of the labyrinth, or create more confusing pathways to become lost in. Sometimes, like the rapper, Gorilla Zoe, "I think I'm losing it". But sanity is over-rated when one, in the existentialist words of Eminem, must lose oneself in the moment, cause I Own it, and can never let it go. Accordingly you will catch me teaching courses that uses philosophical tools to address Popular Culture, Literature, Drama, History, Education and Religion.
My mission is to make philosophy both palpable and attainable while being feared and avoided for the weak-spirited. Truth is a dangerous gift to receive, we all are not prepared to "handle the truth." My teaching pedagogy is to challenge folk to be true to oneself and push to the brink of destruction. Destruction breeds life, and often better than the one before…So if you come sit with me I ask you 2 questions…What are you willing to Die For? And are you Ready To Die?
My most recent publication, Jay-Z, The Artist, The Man, The Visionary, is an edited volume of Critical Essays, published by MacFarland Press, released in Spring 2011. I have also published in Educational Policy, and Social Theory as well as popular culture. I hold Masters Degrees from Howard (Philosophy) and Harvard Universities (Af Am Studies) and a Doctorate from University of Illinois (Philosophy and Education).
