幸せな時間の先に Beyond Happy Hour (2018)
ドーターズ Daughters (2020)
國產凌凌漆 From Beijing with Love (1994)

Rewatched as part of a horror film club.
Being freed of the suspense meant I could focus my attention elsewhere, such as on the constant camera movement.
ハッピーアワー Happy Hour (2015)
Watched in two sittings.
Didn’t quite work for me in the way Hamaguchi’s later films did, and I eventually slipped into using it as Japanese comprehension exercise. I can understand wanting to establish parallels between characters’ narratives, but with this runtime, it risks feeling like repetition rather than reflection.
I know this was part of an improv workshop with non-professionals, but a couple of these performances were so good it’s a shame they’ve got no other credits.
Love & Friendship 2016
Psych 2: Lassie Come Home 2020
రౌద్రం రణం రుధిరం RRR (2022)
How should one watch propaganda? I think a lot about my limits when watching non-US cinema, and this movie tests my ignorance. It’s intoxicating in that a battle of independence from the British Empire sets up an easy underdog story. But what national mythmaking is occurring on the other side? The theater can hoot and holler when blood splatters on the slogan “the sun never sets on the British Empire”, but how should it respond to the omission of Muslim contributors to independence in the credits sequence?
Crimes of the Future 2022
Despite its implications, only Kristen Stewart’s character seems to truly believe that “surgery is the new sex”. The movie itself certainly doesn’t. The lingering gaze on exclusively female naked bodies tells us “the old sex” still rules. Give me more of Stewart’s labored breathing and she pushes in an endoscope.
Despite that, I enjoyed this as a well done world building exercise.
Fire Island 2022
This movie loses easily the best part of Pride & Prejudice: Elizabeth Bennet. Noah lacks the traits that made that character compelling. One example of many where contorting to fit the shape of the book harms the story (e.g. Dex’s alleged original offense).
If anything, Noah is far more of an Emma Whitehouse than Lizzy: a meddler, conceited not about his own (certain) attractiveness, but his cleverness.
It also doesn’t help that the movie feels excessively in dialogue with social media trends of today. One could hear the hash tag slip through characters’ lips before each online platitude.
幕末太陽傳 A Sun-Tribe Myth from the Bakumatsu Era (1957)
So much of this movie would have been lost on me without 2020’s Artist of the Year. I feel lucky to have accumulated just enough historical cultural cognizance to see that there’s something under the surface of the comedy, even if I can’t grasp it the same way its original audience may have.
But I'm a Cheerleader 2000
Saving Face 2004
There’s one line, something to the effect of “what the fuck do you care what kind of dance I do?”, that’s stuck with me. There was something about the delivery of the line that crossed a threshold of believability I didn’t know was there. I was startled out of watching the movie and into seeing the conversation.
Romeo + Juliet 1996
Doesn’t necessarily live up to the first 10 minutes, but those 10 minutes are really excellent. In particular that nightly news framing device. Maybe I just don’t like the play.

More sad news to bring you today, as former WWF Tag Team Champion Grandmaster Sexay – real name Brian Christopher Lawler – has reportedly passed away.
Dave Meltzer tweeted:
Just to confirm, Nikolai Volkoff, Brian Lawler and Brickhouse Brown have all passed away. Very sad day for pro wrestling.
— Dave Meltzer (@davemeltzerWON) July 29, 2018
This news comes as a follow up to a story earlier today, detailing that Lawler hanged himself in jail after being arrested for DUI earlier this month.
Sexay is best known for his time as part of the Too Cool tag team, with Scotty 2 Hotty and Rikishi.
He wrestled for the WWF from 1997-2001, where he won the tag team gold with the aforementioned Scotty 2 Hotty, and later formed a team with Steve Blackman before being released.
Lawler went on to wrestle for TNA in 2002-2004 under his real name. He formed a team called Next Generation, who were rivals with veterans such as Sean Waltman and Dusty Rhodes.
He returned to WWE for a one-off appearance in 2011 to side with Michael Cole during the latter’s rivalry with Brian’s real life father WWE Hall of Famer, Jerry Lawler.
His final day on WWE TV was at the NXT Arrival show, in which he and Scotty 2 Hotty unsuccessfully challenged the Ascension for the NXT Tag Team Championships.
We send our condolences to all affected by this loss.

Valorant patch v3.08 brought a lot of quality of life changes to the Riot Games tactical shooter, including the ability to hide your Account Level, customise the Border Level, and more.
An inconvenience for Jett mains, however, involves a huge dash nerf that Riot has confirmed was unintentional and is indeed a bug.
A video posted by Twitter account ValorLeaks showcased the massive nerfs, which sees Jett taking almost an extra second to ready her weapon after dashing.
Ryan Cousart, game designer for Riot Games, confirmed via social media the dev team is looking into this issue and looking for an immediate fix. "Digging into this now, definitely not intentional."
When will the Jett dash be fixed?
At the time of writing, we have no estimated timeframe for the upcoming Jett hotfix, but rest assured, Riot tends to tackle game-breaking issues relatively quickly, especially when it comes to Agent bugs.
Take for instance the Sova being able to use his arrows to fly across maps, soon after it was discovered, Riot took action to remove the bug, which eventually lasted less than 24 hours in the game.
For the sake of all Jett mains and the people they end up queuing in ranked, we hope Riot fixes this bug as swiftly as previous ones, otherwise, we predict a lot of broken keyboards in the next few hours.
For more on all things Valorant, check out our dedicated section filled with news, tournament results, and more.

In the world of politics and government, terms like “government shutdown,” ”budget crisis,” and “federal budget government shutdown,” are often used interchangeably, yet they actually represent distinct circumstances with unique implications. It’s important that people understand the key differences between these scenarios in order to be more financially literate with regards to US governmental and fiscal policy.
Government Shutdown: A Temporary Halt
A government shutdown occurs when the United States Congress fails to pass appropriations bills or a continuing resolution to fund government agencies and operations. As a result, many non-essential government functions come to an abrupt, screeching halt. Here are some defining characteristics of a government shutdown:
- Temporary: A government shutdown is a temporary event. There is no exact time frame of how long a government shutdown will last, it will typically last until lawmakers reach an agreement on funding, at which point the government then reopens.
- Specific Agencies: During a government shutdown, non-essential government functions are affected, while essential functions are typically not affected. Essential services like those dealing with issues of national security, law enforcement, and public safety will continue to operate.
- Political Disagreement: A government shutdown will typically arise due to political disagreements or disputes over specific policy or fiscal issues. A federal budget government shutdown is sometimes used as leverage to push other legislative agendas.
- Furloughs and Unpaid Work: Federal employees deemed non-essential may be furloughed, or in other words temporarily laid off, not receiving pay during the shutdown. Conversely, essential employees will continue to work, albeit without pay, until funding is restored.
Budget Crisis: Not a Federal Budget Government Shutdown
Alternatively, there are budget crises, which are more extensive fiscal situations. It goes beyond the temporary suspension of government services seen in a shutdown. Here’s how a budget crisis differs:
- Longer-Term: A budget crisis isn’t limited to a brief shutdown period. It can remain as a persistent issue that emanates from structural budget deficits, unsustainable spending, or revenue shortfalls.
- Comprehensive Impact: While a government shutdown affects specific agencies and services, a budget crisis will tend to have a broader impact on government operations, and can potentially lead to cuts in essential services, delayed payments, and credit rating downgrades.
- Fiscal Imbalance: Budget crises often result from a mismatch between government revenues and expenditures.
- Potential Default: In some extreme cases, a budget crisis can lead to the risk of default on government obligations, including interest payments on the national debt.
Government Shutdown vs. Budget Crisis: Neither One is Fun
While both a government shutdown and a budget crisis will tend to feature financial challenges, they differ significantly in both scope and duration. Government shutdowns are temporary events, typically driven by political disputes and resulting in the suspension of specific non-essential government functions. Budget crises are more encompassing, longer-term fiscal challenges that relate to government revenues, expenditures, and structural imbalances.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Mayor Vi Lyles defended the Charlotte Area Transit System and its problem-plagued Gold Line Streetcar project and the Blue Line Extension.
NBC Charlotte first told you an audit found the city was over-charged for completion of the Blue Line by over $1.5 million.
The Mayor said in construction, things happen, but all the issues raised about CATS will be taken care of.
“Contracts are required by state law to be low-bid. So we take the low bid and sometimes that doesn’t always work out,” Lyles said.
Case in point – the Hawthorne Lane bridge that was to carry the streetcar over Independence Boulevard. When it came time to install the girders, some did not fit.
The Mayor said the project is now stalled until the contractor makes it right.
“Our objective is to make a safe bridge and that is what we are going to do,” she said.
CATS Director Joh Lewis told the City Council recently that the entire streetcar project will likely be delayed at least six months because the 2020 Republican Convention in Uptown will force a halt to construction and testing.
NBC Charlotte also informed you that a new audit discovered the city overpaid for the completion of the Blue Line light rail extension by at least $1.6 million.
Lyles said the audit is a matter of public record and nobody was trying to hide anything.
“We come out and we acknowledge and deal with issues. There is no hiding anything. The audit report is out there and that is going to be repaired as well.”
The Mayor was asked if she still had confidence in Lewis, she said she had confidence in everyone involved in the projects.
County Commissioner Pat Cotham though said, “Certainly in construction there will be problems but these seem to be pretty serious.”

Polling in 4 states, Puducherry on Tuesday; heavy security arrangements in place
Assembly election phase 3: The Election Commission has made arrangements keeping in mind the Covid-19 pandemic. While polling will end in Assam, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Puducherry, West Bengal will hold 5 more phases.
Tuesday (April 6) is going to be a big day electorally, as all four states and the union territory of Puducherry will witnessing polling that day. While Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Kerala have single-phased election, Assam will witness polling in third and final phase of Assembly polls.
In West Bengal, this will be third of the eight phases; the rest are scheduled on April 10, 17, 22, 26 and 29. The counting of votes in all the states and Puducherry will be held on May 2.
The Election Commission of India (ECI) has made elaborate arrangements for the polling tomorrow, with a special focus on Covid-19 and security. While announcing the schedule for the election on February 26, the commission said that it has increased the number of polling booths and phases to ensure Covid-19 protocols can be followed.
Here's how various states have prepared for tomorrow's elections:
The voting in this phase will be held in 31 assembly constituencies in three districts - Hooghly (8), Howrah (7) and South 24 Parganas (16).
A total of 832 companies of central security forces have been deployed in the constituencies to ensure a peaceful election. Out of these, 214 companies of Quick Response Teams (QRTs) will be present in the third phase.
There are 205 candidates in the fray in this round of polling, with Diamond Harbour having the maximum number of candidates - 11. It is the parliamentary constituency of Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Abhishek Banerjee, the nephew of West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee.
As many as 78,52,425 electors will take part in the third phase of the polls. While the Kulpi constituency has the lowest electorate count with 2,20,600, Jagatballavpur has the highest number of electorates at 2,88,099.
The BJP's Swapan Dasgupta, who is contesting from the Tarakeswar constituency in Hooghly, is among the high-profile candidates in this phase. In the Arambagh constituency, TMC has fielded Sujata Mondal Khan against CPI(M)'s Sakti Mohan Malik and BJP's Madhusudhan Bag. Sujata Mondal Khan is the wife of BJP MP Saumitra Khan.
In the 2016 elections, the TMC bagged 29 seats and the Left Front won two seats out of the 31 which will be going to polls in the third phase on Tuesday. In terms of vote share, the TMC secured 50 per cent, the Left Front had 37 per cent and the BJP got 7 per cent.
Polling for the first two phases of the West Bengal elections were held on March 27 and April 1, respectively.
Assam is all set for the third and last phase of polling on Tuesday. This phase will decide the fate of 337 candidates across 40 constituencies of 12 districts, including senior minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Hemanta Biswa Sarma, who is contesting the polls from Jalukbari constituency.
Apart from Hemanta Biswa Sarma, BJP minister Chandra Mohan Patowary from Dharampur, education minister Siddhartha Bhattacharya from Gauhati East, and BJP state chief Ranjeet Kumar Dass from Patacharkuchi are also in the fray.
In this phase, 79,19,641 voters will exercie their franchise. Of these, 40,11,539 are males, 39,07,963 females and 139 are other genders.
As many as 320 Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) companies have been deployed to ensure a free and fair election in the state. The State Armed Police (SAP) is also part of the security arrangements.
The BJP formed its first government in Assam after securing a thumping win in the 2016 elections. This time too, BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) has conducted hectic campaigning in the poll-bound constituencies. From NDA's camp, top leaders like Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, Smriti Irani, Jitendra Singh, Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath, and Madhya Pradesh CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan have campaigned in the state.
The BJP's alliance includes the Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) and United People's Party Liberal (UPPL).
The BJP has been challenged by the 'Mahajot', an alliance which includes Congress, All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF), Communist Party of India, the Communist Party of India (Marxist), the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Liberation, the Anchalik Gana Marcha (AGM) and the Bodoland People's Front (BPF).
In the 2016 assembly elections, Congress and AIUDF fought separately. While Congress got 30.9 per cent of the vote share, AIUDF got 13 per cent of vote share last time. The BJP, meanwhile, secured 29.5 per cent of votes and its allies AGP and BPF got 8.1 and 3.9 per cent respectively.
Gauhati West constituency with 15 candidates has the highest number of candidates in the fray. The Boko (SC) seat with three candidates has the least number of candidates. The first phase took place on March 27 with a voter turnout of nearly 77 per cent, while a voter turnout of nearly 74.76 per cent was recorded in the second phase of polling on April 1.
Kerala heads for Assembly elections on Tuesday with battlelines drawn between the ruling Left Democratic Front (LDF) which hopes for continuity of term, and the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) even as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is being seen as a potential threat in many places.
The single-phase election will be held on Tuesday under the security of 59,292 police personnel and 140 companies of central forces. Kerala Police chief Loknath Behra said that the entire state will be divided into special security zones and police force will be deployed under the supervision of senior officers.
Drones will also be used to detect crowds and prevent obstruction of voters. Campaigning came to an end in the state on Sunday for the 957 candidates in the fray for the elections.
Congress leader and leader of the opposition in the Kerala Assembly since 2016, Ramesh Chennithala, is one of the key candidates in the election. He is contesting from the Haripad constituency for the fifth time against BJP's K Soman and CPI's R Sajilal.
In the 2016 Assembly elections Congress' Chennithala won from this seat defeating CPI's P Prasad by a margin of 18,621 votes. Under his leadership, the UDF won 19 of the 20 Lokm Sabha seats in 2019.
Kerala has a history of alternatively giving power to LDF and UDF. Chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan (of LDF) aims to break the trend and take oath for his second term as the head of the state. In recent months, the gold smuggling case has generated a lot of heat in the state, and given the opposition a lot of ammo against Vijayan. M Sivasankar, his former principal secretary, was arrested in connection with the case. It is being probed by various central agencies, including the Enforcement Directorate.
Vijayan is contesting polls from the Dharmadam constituency in Kannur district against UDF candidate C Raghunath and veteran BJP leader CK Padmanabhan.
In Tamil Nadu, elections for 234 assembly constituencies in 38 districts will be held in a single phase on April 6. As many as 6,28,23,749 electors will choose candidates for the sixteenth legislative assembly in the state.
The state's politics has for decades been dominated by Dravidian parties - All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) and Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK). In the 2016 election, AIADMK then led by Jayalalithaa, emerged victorious. After her death, Edappadi K Palaniswami became the chief minister.
These elections will decide whether Palaniswami will continue as CM or DMK leader MK Stalin will emerge as the winner in the contest for the coveted post. MK Stalin-led DMK, which is out of power since 2011 in Tamil Nadu, is in a head-to-head battle with AIADMK in nearly 130 constituencies.
Palaniswami is contesting from Edappadi seat in Salem district. The DMK fielded a debutant 37-year-old T Sampath Kumar against him. Stalin, meanwhile, is trying his luck again from Kolathur seat. He will face AIADMK's Adhi Rajaram.
Actor Kamal Haasan too has joined the fray this time. He is going to make his electoral debut from the South Coimbatore constituency - the assembly segment where his Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) got more than 1 lakh votes in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
Haasan formed the MNM in February 2018. In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the MNM had a vote share of 3.72 per cent.
A total of 30 constituencies across the UT are going to polls on Tuesday, in which 324 candidates are in the fray. The polling will be held in the union territory in a single phase.
To ensure peaceful polling, 34 companies of Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) have been deployed in Puducherry. Along with that, the Election Commission has also constituted 105 flying squads, 105 static surveillance teams, 26 rolling static surveillance teams, and 35 video surveillance teams.
As many as 1,558 polling stations, including 952 main and 606 auxiliary, have been set up in the union territory in 635 locations.
Of the 30 assembly seats, five are reserved for the Scheduled Caste candidates. A total of 10,04,507 electors will exercise their franchise to decide the fate of 324 candidates across 30 constituencies in Puducherry.
Elections in Puducherry, which is currently under President's Rule, is mainly between the Congress-DMK alliance and the NDA comprising All India NR Congress, AIADMK and BJP.

On more than one occasion, Charlottesville ranked among the top cities in the country to raise a family.
Each year there are plenty of parents-to-be with even more questions to be answered.
Last year the University of Virginia Health System offered a program called, Oh Baby! The program attracted so many pregnant couples; some had to be turned away.
Moved to a bigger facility, this year the program will accommodate dozens of local expectants.
“This is Eva, born about five weeks ago, and she's doing great. Happy and healthy and that's all we could ask for,” new parent Jay Dicharry said.
Experts will discuss how to calm a fussy baby, establishing good sleep habits from the start and much more.
“A lot of times the questions don't come up after the baby's born until things are already in a bad pattern,” Director of UVA’s Newborn Nursery, Ann Kellams said.
Obstetricians, pediatricians and family medical physicians will be on hand, providing a more interactive and entertaining format to give vital information to future parents.
“It's nice to have some people come in and condense the material and condense the information and make it digestible,” Dicharry said.
Health System officials say the program helps parents mentally and physically prepare for delivery day and provides a support group to help navigate the baby years.
“They're going to come in more prepared,” Kellams said.
“The more information you can hear, take in, digest, the better. It won’t give you all the answers but it will help,” Dicharry said.
Sponsored by the UVA Child Language and Learning Laboratory, Oh Baby! is free to attendees.
It takes place this Wednesday evening from 6-8 p.m. at the UVA Alumni Hall.

If you would like to share Ride lyrics with other users of this site, please see the bottom of this page on how to submit Ride lyrics.
Members include Andy Bell, vocals, guitar; Laurence "Loz" Colbert, drums; Mark Gardener, vocals, guitar; Steve Queralt, bass.
Ride, who took their cue primarily from My Bloody Valentine, was one of most respected bands in existence during a short-lived, yet vital British music movement of the late 1980s and early 1990s. Dubbed by journalists as "shoegazing" for the musicians' habit of staring at the floor while playing live and "the scene that celebrates itself" because bands sometimes attended other like-minded acts' concerts, these bands musically created sounds at odds with traditional pop, rock, and punk.
Often described as ethereal or otherworldly, the shoegazing sound combined a myriad of distorted guitars, swirling keyboards, percussion, and voices--both human and instrumental--that were often indistinguishable from one another, obscuring individual identity. "We try to make the music the personality and keep ourselves quite anonymous," guitarist/vocalist Andy Bell once commented, as quoted by Gavin Stoker in Rock: The Rough Guide.
When grunge (imported from the United States) and Britpop swept across the United Kingdom, however, most of these shoegazing bands fell apart after they were suddenly ignored by the music media and the public. Ride lasted longer than most, staying intact amid critical derision and disinterested fans. The band released its final album, the highly acclaimed Tarantula, in March of 1996.
Ride was formed in Oxford, England, where Andy Bell (vocals and guitar), Mark Gardener (vocals and guitar), and Laurence "Loz" Colbert (drums) were attending Banbury Art College, and Steve Queralt (bass) was working in a local record shop. Bell had dreamed of starting a band since his childhood, citing the Beatles as his early inspiration. "I started playing the guitar when I was nine," he said in a Creation Records website interview, "and I always knew I'd be in a band. I wanted to put records out and play gigs and be a pop star." For Queralt, "destiny" played a role in his introduction to music. "My dad found a bass in a skip so he says and brought it home for me," he told Creation. "I was listening to lots of reggae at the time and was able to follow the basslines. Fate I guess."
Their first rehearsal took place in October of 1988 at Colbert's mother's home in Ramsden. During the next few months, the four young men--all sharing a love for the music of the Faces, the Rolling Stones, the Stone Roses, Primal Scream, My Bloody Valentine, the House of Love, and the Jesus and Mary Chain--concentrated on writing songs and improving their instrumental skills.
When the quartet felt confident enough to perform live, they began to build their reputation playing gigs in Oxford; their first was at a pub, which has since been dismantled, called the Jericho Tavern. Ride soon attracted the attention of a local journalist and promoter named Dave Newton, who, after signing on as manager in 1989, helped spread news of the new band to the London media. Loud, intense, and driven by distorted guitars and indecipherable vocals, Ride seemed the perfect counter to the dance music resonating from the city of Manchester at the time.
Creation Records, an innovative independent label, signed Ride that same year. Later in 1989 the band recorded the highly anticipated Ride. Released in January of 1990, the four-track EP, featuring the songs "Drive Blind" and "Chelsea Girl," quickly outsold its initial press and climbed into the bottom of the United Kingdom charts. A few months later, in April, Ride resurfaced with a second EP entitled Play. Another instant success, the record made the top 40 with the standout track "Like a Daydream" and a steady touring schedule. Smile, a compilation of the first two EPs, was also released in 1990.
Ride spent most of the summer preparing for a full-length debut album, the early results of which were heard on yet another EP entitled Fall, released in September of 1990. Radio favorites from this record included "Taste" and "Dreams Burn Down." Finally, in October, Ride released Nowhere, living up to fan and critical anticipation with tracks like "Seagull" and "Vapour Trail." A fourth EP, the more mature Today Forever, followed in March of 1991, providing the group with its first British top-20 record. These early, well-received commercial successes, coupled with the group's developing songwriting and instrumental skills, suggested that Ride had staying power.
During the months of March and April, Ride headlined a United States tour with Lush, another shoegazing outfit. Afterwards, they toured Japan, Australia, and France, then returned to the United Kingdom to work on a new album. In February of 1992 Ride released the eight-minute progressive rock single "Leave Them All Behind," a Melody Maker single of the week and the quartet's only top-ten hit. March saw the release of the group's second album, Going Blank Again, another mainstream success. Following shows throughout Great Britain, Ride returned to the States, Japan, and Australia. That summer, the group played its second Reading Festival, followed by a fall tour of Europe.
By now, however, the members of Ride were beginning to feel less enthusiastic about the group's future. "The first tour went very well for us," recalled Bell to Magnet magazine's Corey Dubrowa. "We were still very happy as a band. The troublesome tour was the next one, spring 1992. Our second album had just come out, and instead of feeling like it was all a new adventure, we were overworked and didn't really want to be there. Plus, kids and marriages were starting to come into the band's lives. The music suffered, and I was putting almost nothing into the playing, which I now feel quite guilty about."
Consequently, Ride decided to take an extended break. Their next album, the psychedelic-inspired Carnival of Light, was not released until 1994. Although the effort received favorable reviews, it went largely overlooked by the public, who were now more interested in Britpop bands such as Blue, Suede, and Oasis. Furthermore, tensions among band members were at a peak, especially between songwriters Gardener and Bell. "Imagine an argument where the way you win is by saying, 'I don't want my songs on the same side of the album as yours'--and it actually happens," Bell continued in Magnet. "We were allowed by the people around us to behave like total babies."
In the early months of 1995 Gardener moved to New York City, announcing his departure from the band by midyear. Before he left, however, Ride recorded one last album, Tarantula, released in March of 1996, which earned positive press. Some even called it Ride's finest effort. Ride, nonetheless, had already announced that they planned to disband.
Thereafter Gardener began working with dance music producer Paul Oakenfold and Gary Stonedage, formerly of the group Big Audio Dynamite, though the project never came to fruition. After attempting to launch a solo career, he formed the Animalhouse with Colbert and producer Sam Williams, a former member of the Mystics. They released one album, Ready to Receive in 2000, before splitting a year later. Meanwhile, Bell formed a new group, Hurricane #1, and released two records for Creation. Following that band's the demise, he played briefly with Gay Dad and joined Oasis, on bass, in November of 1999. Creation released a Ride "best-of" album in 2001 that was subsequently released stateside in 2002 on The First Time Records.

... a little bit of ignorance can go a long way! Amazing how few people know or understand anything about the effects of a nuclear weapon. Not that it's a particularly relevant topic anymore- thankfully. But "kiss your ass goodbye" has become an arrogant reply for the cynical and anti-establishment- just as it was 69 years ago. Civil defense was neither foolish or just propaganda. The advice here is based on what scientists learned from the 2 atomic bombings of Japan. A great many casualties were from flash burns or flying glass. So surprise- your chances of getting wounded during a nuclear attack were (and are) much greater than a rapture style disintegration death.

Four people were killed and another seriously injured Wednesday night after the driver of an SUV tried to do a U-turn in front of a semitrailer, the Kansas Highway Patrol said.
The accident occurred at 9:20 p.m. Wednesday in Sumner County about 2 miles north of the Oklahoma border.
Two people were thrown from the SUV and two others were pinned inside, the patrol said. All four died at the scene of the accident.
The victims were identified as the driver, Michael Minor, 39, of Sedgwick; Chad Kingsley, 27; Jonette Grimes, 22, ; and Lindsey Shain, 23, all of Wichita.
A fifth person, Micheal Meyer, 27, of Wichita, was in serious condition at Wesley Medical Center in Wichita.
The truck driver, Miquel Guzman Hernandez, wasn't injured. Hernandez was the only person wearing a seat belt, the patrol said.


The Battle Lines Are Forming
Last week, during The Jacksonville Observer Radio Show, Randy Wyse, the president of the Jacksonville Association of Firefighters Local 122, told me he’d just come from a meeting at City Hall in which he said the union would not be negotiating on pensions.
“We feel like we’re in a position where we don’t have to,” he told me, and the WBOB audience.
It was a very interesting interview, and a point of view that I don’t think is heard very often.
The Administrator of the Police and Fire Pension Fund, John Keane, said the “bankrupting the city” argument would never hold with nearly 10 mils of headroom in the city’s taxing authority. Mr. Keane did not advocate raising taxes, but he also did not think the city was headed for bankruptcy without significant changes in the pension system.
About the two-tiered pension system, which has worked for the federal government for years, both Wyse and Keane said it was a basic fairness issue. People risking their lives in the same way deserve the same pension, was their contention. Very few people have been killed in the line of duty around the water cooler, Keane said.
Ok, fair enough.
But earlier this year, City Council President Richard Clark said at a Tiger Bay Club meeting that the police and fire unions don’t want the issue to go to impasse, because then it will be decided by the council. And the mood of the council right now is probably not tremendously favorable towards the pension funds not making some concessions for the good of the city budget.
From an historical perspective, the city has faced pension woes before. The opening paragraphs of the JCCI 2009 city budget study point out that in two previous studies of the city’s finances, pensions have been cited as a leading issue. In 1977 “The volunteers found Jacksonville’s financial position “to be basically sound, with the exception of the underfunding of its pension plans.” In 1992, “Pension underfunding was a problem, and the City was engaging in short-sighted financial planning without forecasting models to adequately plan for future needs.”
Now, pensions are an issue again, and it would seem that the battle lines are forming. On the one hand, the city is looking for every ounce that it can squeeze to avoid raising taxes in a recession. Next year’s budget process is already underway, and with the mayor’s race already taking shape as well, the financial health of the city is going to come under a great deal of scrutiny over the next 17 months.
On the other hand, the unions appear to be drawing a line in the sand. They seem to have very little interest in making any concessions, and don’t think the city’s financial health hinges on guaranteed payments to the police and fire pension fund. “The benefits are the same as they were two years ago, five years ago, 10 years ago,” Keane said during the show. “Nobody seemed to think they were too rich then.”
While the police and fire pensions are the most-often mentioned in this discussion, there are two other pension funds in play as well. The general employees fund and the corrections officers fund. All are underfunded at the current time, but the unfunded liabilities for the general employees fund and the corrections officers fund combined slightly less than the unfunded liability for the police and fire pension fund. It is also important to note that the unfunded liability for the general employees fund is about 5 times the liability for the corrections officers fund, according to the JCCI Report.
This pension issue is likely to be at the forefront of the upcoming Mayor’s and City Council races, along with the rest of the city’s finances. If, as Mr. Wyse said, the Firefighters Association “will not negotiate on pension benefits,” and the city insists, then an impasse seems likely, and no one is quite sure what the ultimate outcome of such a scenario might be.
No one is suggesting that those who put their lives on the line every day should be shortchanged. As was pointed out on Wednesday’s show, when everyone else is running out of the burning building, the firefighters run in. And when the shooting starts, and everyone is running away from the shooter, the police run towards him or her. We owe them more than just a huge debt of gratitude. But for better or worse, this is all going to play out in a very public arena against a backdrop of a long political campaign and an economy that has 10 percent of the nation’s population looking for a job and another likely 7-10% under- or self- employed. It’s unlikely very many of them are worrying about a pension.
Something tells me it’s not going to be pretty.

- I'm a huge PS3 fan, and (IMO) it's easily the best system. However, here are some things that I think Microsoft does better that I would like to see Sony imitate. This is intended to be lighthearted, so please make comments accordingly.
1. Timely Western Releases of Japanese Games.
There are great Japanese PS3 exclusives like Yakuza 3 that take forever to get released in the west. Yakuza 2 is taking at least two years. WTF! The game is done: the code, art, plot, game mechanics, everything is built, written, finished, and tested. Does it really take years and years to add some sub-titles? Of course, not.
There's absolutely no good reason for such a long holdup. Westerners love Japanese games. Even the smaller niche titles are important to the influential taste makers in the west. Microsoft knows that and has nipped this issue. There are no three year localization periods for Japanese developed 360 titles. Sony needs to do the same thing: Get on the phone, schedule some meetings, knock on some doors... make it happen.
2. Shift PS2 Developers to PS3.
Microsoft was smart. When the Xbox 360 was coming out, they moved all Xbox developers over to the new system very early. Obviously, PS2 is a little different in that it's more profitable and still very popular among...

This year, Chief Justice John Roberts placed special emphasis on the “fiscal cliff” in his annual year-end report on the federal judiciary. The 16-page report, which is traditionally released the last day of the year, is written by head of the federal judiciary. In it, Roberts framed the trajectory of Judiciary spending in terms of the immediate fiscal cliff and in terms of U.S. deficit in general.
The court only represents two-tenths of 1% of the federal budget, and they’ve been cutting. They dropped 2.8 percent in its $75.55 million operations budge in fiscal year 2012, and 3.7 percent for fiscal year 2014. Nevertheless, he says it can’t keep going on this way.
“I therefore encourage the president and Congress to be especially attentive to the needs of the judicial branch and provide the resources necessary for its operations. Those vital resource needs include the appointment of an adequate number of judges to keep current and pending cases. At the close of 2012, 27 of the existing judicial vacancies are designated as presenting judicial emergencies.”
Judicial spending has been down since 2004 in an “aggressive” cost-containment strategy. Things might get difficult in the future, he notes.
“Our country faces new challenges, including the much publicized ‘fiscal cliff’ and the longer-term problem of a truly extravagant and burgeoning national debt. No one seriously doubts that the country’s fiscal ledge has gone awry. The public properly looks to its elected officials to craft a solution. We in the judiciary stand outside the political arena, but we can continue to do our part to address the financial challenge within our sphere.”

"Kien's job is to search the Jungle of Screaming Souls for corpses. He
knows the area well - this was where, in the dry season of 1969, his
battalion was obliterated by American napalm and helicopter gunfire.
Kien was one of only ten survivors. This book is his attempt to
understand the eleven years of his life he gave to a senseless war."
The world of modern fiction is already replete with classic war-based literature: Catch-22, All Quiet on the Western Front, Heart of Darkness, and Slaughterhouse-Five are just a few. One could argue that this leaves little to say; that the horrors of war have already been well-documented. However, a book that has been banned by the Communist Party, has won the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize, and which leaves its author reluctant to publish further works is always going to be a source of intrigue, and luckily Bao Ninh's The Sorrow of War does not just disappear behind this smokescreen of hyperbole, proving comparable in quality to the classics hitherto mentioned.
This high quality of work perhaps comes from the adage that it is best to write what you know; The Sorrow of War is based strongly on Ninh's own experiences in Vietnam, and thus the line between fiction and non-fiction begins to blur, with the novel raising compelling questions regarding dreams, hallucinations, and the imagined versus reality, as well as the reliability of protagonist Kien as narrator and the extent to which we can rely on our own memories. We also wonder, as readers, in what context Kien is retelling his story, and frequently question the chronology of the story itself, which doesn't make the plot unclear in any way, but rather opens the door to many future rereadings, so that readers can piece together the narrative in any number of new and different ways.
The piecemeal narrative is enhanced by the strength of the imagery and technique used by Ninh, which is elegant yet accessible throughout, while remaining simultaneously beautiful and ugly as he treats the sheer brutality of conflict with frankness and economy of style. In this way, he emphasises the worthlessness of human life, the ability of war to doom love, and the unforgiving aftermath of such bloodshed. The philosophical elements of this - such as whether ex-servicemen can ever be truly free post-war, and how far the characters in The Sorrow of War are acting according to their 'real' personalities - again make this work worth revisiting.
Even though the novel's title is so often reiterated throughout the novel as to seem contrived (Ninh has already shown us the sorrow of war; he does not need to tell us), the haunting themes, terrifying incidents, and compelling characters also contribute to this 1990 novel's status as a modern classic. Even the most briefly depicted personages are memorable for what the continued fighting has done to them, and the veiled references to the genre's forerunners (such as the emphasis on landscape, which is shared with Heart of Darkness) only emphasise The Sorrow of War's originality and flair, rather than detracting from it. It is therefore well deserving of its place in the literary canon, and one only hopes that Ninh will continue to publish what is surely a valuable extension of this highly significant Vietnamese view of one of the most tragic episodes in the country's history.

PSLPD: Man claiming to be cop robs Port St. Lucie man's home with gun
ST. LUCIE COUNTY — A man in a mask claiming to be police drove up to a man's home Friday and robbed him at gunpoint, according to Port St. Lucie police.
Officers are still searching for the suspect, said police spokesman Sgt. Keith Boham in a news release issued Monday.
Investigators on Friday said they responded to a report that a man posing as a police officer drove up to home in the 400 block of Southeast Asbury Lane in Port St. Lucie and approached a man in a garage who lived at the home.
The man posing as an officer said he was arresting the man on an open warrant, investigators said.
The man identifying as a cop closed the garage door and shut the house's power off.
According to the release, the man was wearing a black long-sleeved shirt with “police” on the front and back, a gold badge around his neck and a black ski mask covering all parts of his face except the eyes.
After putting handcuffs on the targeted man and pointing a gun at his head, the self-proclaimed officer stated, "I’m not a cop, I’m here to rob you," investigators reported.
The imposter cop called the man by his first name, investigators said.
It's unclear, though, if the armed man and the resident knew each other.
The man claiming to be a cop then walked away to search inside the home, the release stated.
The resident ran to a neighbor's home and called police as the suspected thief was still inside the home, investigators said.
Investigators believe the items stolen included a small safe, a knife and a bb gun.
An investigation and search for the man in connection to the robbery is ongoing, but police stated no other incidents of this nature have been reported in the area.

text: Actress McKenna Grace enjoyed a remarkably prolific career before she even reached the age of ten, thanks to numerous roles in television series like "Designated Survivor" (ABC, 2016- ) and feature films like "Gifted" (2017). Born June 25, 2006 in Texas, Grace's acting career was launched when she auditioned for a role while her family was vacationing in Los Angeles. She made her screen debut in the series "Crash & Bernstein" (Disney XD 2012-14), playing the ill-tempered younger sister to series star Cole Jensen and his puppet best friend, and soon settled into a seemingly non-stop string of juvenile guest roles in daytime and primetime series, including a recurring role on "The Young and the Restless" (CBS/HDTV, 1973- ), as well as tween-oriented programming like "Dog with a Blog" (Disney Channel, 2012-15) and animated series ("Pickle and Peanut," Disney XD, 2015- ). Grace landed recurring roles on several series, playing the adolescent version of Jennifer Morrison's Emma Swan on "Once Upon a Time" (ABC, 2011-) and co-starring on "Designated Survivor," as the youngest daughter of Kiefer Sutherland's American president. During this period, she also found time to lend her voice to "The Angry Birds Movie" (2016) and appear in "Independence Day: Resurgence" (2016). Her feature film career took off in earnest the following year, with a co-starring role opposite Chris Evans in "Gifted," and supporting turns in "How to Be a Latin Lover" (2017), a comedy vehicle for Mexican actor Eugenio Derbez, and "Amityville: The Awakening" (2017).

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/rrznxn/power_system) has announced the addition of the "Power System State Estimator Market by Software type, Application and Solution Methods - Global Trends & Forecasts to 2019" report to their offering.
The global power system state estimator market is estimated to reach $5.87 Billion by 2019 from $3 billion in 2014, with a projected CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of 14.35%, signifying a high demand for state estimator and increasing concern for energy savings.
Effective monitoring and control of the grid requires real-time analysis tools that can estimate the system state and also predict its response to changing load and weather conditions. Thus, power system analysis requires dynamic network topology and real-time measurements. State estimation is the process of assigning a value to an unknown system state variable, based on measurements from that system based on preset criteria.
The process involves imperfect measurements that are redundant and the process of estimating the system states is based on a statistical criterion that takes into account the true value of state variables to minimize or maximize the selected criterion.
In a power system, state variables are the voltage MAGNITUDES and Relative Phase Angles at the System Nodes. The inputs to an estimator are imperfect power system measurements of voltage magnitude and power, VAR, or ampere flow quantities. The estimator is designed to produce the best estimate of the system voltage and phase angles, recognizing that there are errors in the measured quantities and that they may be redundant measurements.
With more smart metering devices being deployed on the grid, power system analysis receives data with higher accuracy and resolution. However, wide deployment of metering devices is limited owing to their high price. When metering devices are installed at key locations on the grid, state estimation can serve as a useful technique to fill-in the missing points as well as smooth-out noisy measurements. The estimation result reflects the true state of the circuit parameters such as bus voltages, real, and reactive power flow on the branches.

It was widely buzzed this morning that Udhayanidhi’s acting debut in Tamil cinema, ‘Oru Kal Oru Kannadi’ will see a worldwide release on April 13, as part of Tamil New Years’.
When IndiaGlitz contacted the producer turned actor, he said, “Well, we’re trying our level best to see an April 6 release and work is on in a full swing, but there are several criteria that determine it. We’ll announce the release date shortly”.
However, whether the film releases on April 6 or 13, it’s sure to see a solo big release as there are no other biggies scheduled for these two dates and Dhanush’s ‘3’, a romantic entertainer is seeing light of the day come March 30.
‘Oru Kal Oru Kannadi’ is an out and out laugh riot that brings together director Rajesh and his lucky mascot Santhanam for the third time. Udhay and Hansika play the lead roles and music is by Harris Jayaraj.
Thanks to some promising and funny teasers, trailers and music the expectations on this film are mounting up.


Prime Minister Narendra Modi at present stated enhancing all kinds of connectivity, including in social, digital, and financial spheres, with the 10-nation ASEAN grouping is a serious precedence for India.
He made the remarks at a virtual summit between India and the ASEAN.
“We believe a cohesive and responsive ASEAN is needed for safety and development for all within the area,” PM Modi stated.
He additionally stated that there are various similarities between India’s ‘Indo Pacific Oceans Initiative’ and ASEAN’s ‘Outlook on Indo Pacific’.
“Enhancing each sort of connectivity between India and ASEAN – bodily, financial, social, digital, monetary, maritime – is a serious precedence for us. In the previous few years, we’ve come near all these areas,” he stated.
The Affiliation of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is considered one of the crucial influential groupings within the area, and India and several different nations together with the US, China, Japan, and Australia are its dialogue partners.
The summit is taking place amid China’s aggressive behavior within the disputed South China Sea in addition to in eastern Ladakh. A number of ASEAN countries have territorial disputes with China within the South China Sea.
The 10 member nations of ASEAN are Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Brunei, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar, and Cambodia.
The ties between India and ASEAN have been on an upswing in the previous few years with focus being on ramping up cooperation within the areas of trade and investment as well as safety and defense.
The ASEAN region along with India together contains a combined population of 1.85 billion folks, which is one-fourth of the global population and their combined GDP has been estimated at over USD 3.eight trillion.

Among the six naval aviators recommended for command of an aircraft carrier was Captain Amy Bauernschmidt, a 1994 Naval Academy grad and helo pilot who ticked an essential box on the carrier command checklist when she was the first female to serve as executive officer on a nuclear-powered warship, the USS Abraham Lincoln CVN-72. It is an assignment long overdue, and with an idle moment wondered why it took so long compared to the female command achievements in the Air Force.
Taking the unique requirements of a floating command out of the equation, was this because the WASPS, the Women Airforce Service Pilots started paving the way in World War II? Did the US Navy have an equivalent, and if not there were no Navy WASPs, did any women fly in support of any aspect of naval aviation back in the day?
Asking Google about Navy WASPs produced about 791,000 results on the many different ships that have been the USS Wasp. Asking about female navy pilots during World War II circled me back to the WASPs. Following Rosie the Riveter led me to a story, “Women at Grumman During World War II,” on the Bethpage Union Free School District website. It said women “would build and repair the planes that American pilots would use for victory [and] some women even had the opportunity to become test pilots.”
Fortunately, the story included a link to another, taken from the November 16, 1943, New York World-Telegram, “Women Pilots Casual About Testing Fighter Planes for the Navy,” by Staff Writer Sally MacDougall. Three women were among Grumman’s production test pilots, who flew F6F Hellcats and TBF Avengers after they rolled off the production lines, Teddy Kenyon, Barbara Jayne, and Elizabeth Hooker.
The story didn’t say much about them, other than they all stood about 5-foot-5 and weighed 110 pounds. “Mrs. Kenyon has been flying since 1929. Her husband is a flight engineer at the plant. Barbara Jayne’s husband, Lt. J.M. Jayne, flies fighter Hellcats for the Navy. Her log shows 2,300 hours. Elizabeth Hooker, a brunette in the trio, is a Smith College graduate.”
Following this lead led to Julia Lauria-Blum’s story, “Hellcat Test Pilot: Barbara Kibbee Jayne,” in the Metropolitan Airport News. From Troy, New York, she had a lifelong interest in flying but her parents wouldn’t give her “the official green light to pursue her passion” until she was 21. She earned her pilot’s license at the Ryan School of Aeronautics in San Diego. Facing gender discrimination, she finally found a job back in Troy as the first female instructor in the Civilian Pilot Training Program.
In 1941, Bud Gillies, head of Grumman flight operations, lured Barbara away from the CTPT with a position as the chief instructor at the posh Long Island Country Club. When the war started, she became a Grumman courier pilot, flying parts and people in passenger planes. In spring 1942 Gillies recruited Cecil “Teddy” Kenyon and Elizabeth Hooker, to join Jayne as the first female test pilots of naval aircraft. It turns out that Gillies’s wife, Betty, was also a pilot, and “a member of the Women’s Auxiliary Ferrying Squadron or WAFS.”
After the war, Barbara ran a GI training program at her FBO at Annapolis, Maryland. She returned to California in the 1950s and kept flying in her real estate business. “In her retirement, she flew often in Baja California Peninsula and with her friend, Betty Gillies, on a number of fly yourself safaris in South America, Africa, and Australia.” She died at home on October 17, 1999.
The New York Times, in a January 5, 1986 story, “Honoring Grumman and its Hellcat,” Ellen Clear wrote that Grumman employed five female test pilots during the war. She didn’t give their names. But Women in Aviation International’s 100 Most Influential Women in the Aviation and Aerospace Industry said Betty Gillies was a Grumman test pilot before she joined the WAFS, WASPs, and Air Force Reserve.
Timeline provided some more information on Teddy Kenyon. Another New York native who grew up dreaming about flying, she was also flying for Grumman’s courier service. She married Ted Kenyon, an MIT student and barnstormer, in 1926 and earned her pilot’s license three years later. “In 1933, she beat out 28 men and 11 women to win the National Sportswomen’s Flying Championship at Roosevelt Field in New York, and took home a $5,000 prize.” (The author didn’t explain how 28 participated or why they predominated in the “sportswomen’s” championship.) When she died in 1985 at age 71, she was still flying.
Google didn’t reveal much about Elizabeth Hooker. New England Aviation History said she bailed out of a burning Hellcat on June 9, 1944. “Miss Hooker came down about a mile from the crash site unharmed except for singed eyebrows.”
In the end, the only thing the Grumman test pilots had in common with the WASPs is that when the war ended, they were all out of their jobs. It would take three decades for women to fight their way into commercial cockpits and for the first females to graduate from military pilot training. The inaugural class of naval aviators earned their wings of gold in 1974 and the first Air Force cohort received their silver wings in 1977. That fall, President Jimmy Carter signed the bill that recognized the WASPs as veterans. But alas, the closest the Navy got to them were three, four, maybe five little known Grumman production test pilots. – Scott Spangler

By Lynn Paris
Joseph C. Phillips--my friend and fellow columnist--and I often take opposing views on an issue: health care having been the most recent example. But only rarely do I feel compelled to confront him directly as I am doing in this response to his current column. (Please click here and read first for maximum impact). I feel compelled, because while JCP normally makes clear and cogent points on behalf of the conservative right with which I strongly disagree, at least they always make sense to me. This particular column makes no sense to me on so many levels that it begs a response.
JCP begins his column by referring to a reader’s email that supposedly accuses him of Christian hypocrisy. In my opinion the email was correct; if JCP (or anyone else for that matter) doesn’t earnestly pray for our country and its leadership he IS being something of a hypocrite, at least according to the Bible. But that wasn’t the main problem, as JCP went on to explain. The problem was that JCP's individual failure to always be consistent with Christian principles was somehow proof to his reader, and by extension to the left, of the bankruptcy of all Christian principles.
Really? I can't figure out how he made that leap. As far as I know none of us is always consistent with Christian principles. We are ALL imperfect; we all fall short and commit sins of hypocrisy, arrogance, pride and every other human weakness every day. According to JCP, the “religious left” (Isn't that an oxymoron, JCP? I didn't realize you admitted that anyone on the left had religion) likes to seize upon individual weakness to prove that Christian principles are false.
Well, assuming that any of us who tend to vote on the liberal end of the spectrum also happens to be a person of faith, I beg to differ. I have NEVER allowed the hypocrisy or weakness of another Christian—from Ted Haggard to the guy cutting me off in the church parking lot—persuade me that Christian principles are themselves bankrupt. I can’t imagine why anyone would do that, since understanding our human imperfections in the face of the perfection of Christ is the very basis of Christianity.
And by the way, JCP seems to take issue with the fact that the "religious left" hang around with secularists. I must have gotten the part about being salt and light to the world wrong, because I thought that's what Christians were supposed to do. What example can they set if they only hang out with other like-minded people? To me, that would be like "hiding their light under a basket" instead of putting it on a lamp stand to give "light to all who are in the house." But I digress.
I went on to the next paragraph only to discover that the "religious left" supports candidates whose policies are in direct contradiction to Christian principles. Really? Which principles are we talking about? Because the ONLY principle I can figure out, other than the right to carry an AK-47, is that the majority of the "religious right" support a pro-life platform and the majority of the "religious left" support pro-choice. Since the law of the land remains pro-choice, whether or not that is consistent with an individual’s religious or personal beliefs is moot; politicians and even presidents must uphold the law and render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s. What other Christian principles is the "religious left" incompatible with? Taking care of the weak . . . the sick . . . the poor? I don’t think so.
I will leave the question of moral and intellectual superiority to the reader and simply ask; who sounds as though he or she considers him or herself morally and intellectually superior to you?
But let's move on to the objective truth of God. JCP wants us to believe that because one misguided clergyman he happened to meet thinks that the Bible is a collection of books subject to interpretive choice that this is what all the so-called "religious left" believe. Personally, I don’t know any practicing Christian who believes this, but that’s beside the point. Maybe JCP was incorrect when he assumed that the question “what are Christian beliefs?” wasn’t an honest one. It certainly is a question I would pose.
So, what ARE Christian beliefs? I’d propose that one of the best places to look would be in the beatitudes; after all, a true believer would tell you that these are the words of Jesus. Certainly they clearly express what Jesus considered Christian principles.
Let’s see. Jesus said that the meek are blessed and will inherit the earth. Blessed means content, fulfilled, satisfied. But who these days wants to be thought of as meek? Well, what I’ve been taught is that Jesus didn’t mean “meek” as in being timid or doormat-like. He meant meek as in being restrained and not worrying about always having to defend your own territory . . . like having one’s strength under control. Hmmmm. Sounds more “left-wing” than “right-wing” to me.
Jesus also said that the merciful are blessed and will be shown mercy. What did He mean by merciful? Again, what I’ve been taught is that being merciful is having the capacity not only to feel compassion but also to act on it . . . to see others in need, others who are vulnerable and reach out to help them.
Is this ONLY a Christian principle? Of course not. But is it a definitive Christian principle? I’m pretty sure it is. It’s what prompts me to support health care for those who are currently uninsured, even if it means that I need to let the government do it because I can’t afford to. Even if it means I’m taxed a little bit more.
After all, the government already provides health care to seniors, and no one seems to want them to stop doing THAT. I find it amusing to see conservatives carrying signs that say "keep your hands off our Medicare." OUR Medicare? Really? Are they trying to be funny? Or do they really not know that conservative republicans labeled Medicare "socialism" and opposed it just as stridently back in the 60s as they now oppose the dreaded public option? Really.
On the other hand, if what JCP is proposing is that he personally sees to it that those he knows who are uninsured get health insurance even if it means he has to pay for it out of his own pocket, then I apologize. He’s far more merciful than I.
Now I’d like to proceed to my favorite paragraph, the one where JCP says that many who claim to be independent and choose their candidates on “the basis of intellect, moral compass, life experiences, sensitivity to ethnic diversity and a commitment to expanding the blessings of liberty" always vote for a Democrat. I simply don’t understand THIS one at all. Wouldn't that be a compliment? I mean, isn’t this how we're supposed to choose our candidates? And, don’t some of those people (like you, Joseph, for example)use the same criteria and always vote for a Republican? What makes that choice any better? And if those aren’t good criteria for choosing whom to vote for, then what are? Being pretty, winking a lot and saying "you betcha"? Help me out here.
Finally, JCP tells us that because of their unseemly preoccupation with poverty and injustice, the "religious left" have been led astray from redemption. Really? No one on the left is saved? Wow . . . I’m thoroughly unraveled by that one. First of all, I thought Christians were saved by God’s grace, and not through personal sacrifice and struggle. I thought that’s what that huge reformation deal about ‘grace not works’ was all about. The fact is I happen to believe, along with James, that faith without works is dead. But still, even James didn't take away our salvation.
Apart from that, JCP goes on to say that being virtuous is the way that God empowers individuals. I thought God empowered us through the Holy Spirit to help us in our efforts to be virtuous, but I could be wrong. Now, I agree that it’s far better to be virtuous than evil, and far better to have personal discipline than to have it mandated by some secular authority. (And by the way, JCP, I'm pretty sure you meant antidote, not anecdote; forgive me.)
But how does all of this play out? I mean, it seems to me that according to JCP, until each and every one of us achieves individual virtue there can be no equality, no impact on social issues like poverty or injustice. Really? That seems like a heckuva long wait. And while I subscribe to an objective morality, I don’t understand what’s so wrong about a few mandates for equity. Was it wrong to have a mandate to end slavery or give women the vote, or should we have waited until each and every person did what was morally right?
Furthermore, I don’t understand why protecting your private property makes you more moral than wanting to see some small, teeny tiny redistribution of the wealth. Especially the outrageous wealth of greedy rapacious profiteers who stole it from all the neighbors I’m commanded to love. And yes, I want very much to save my neighbor, but I don’t see what’s wrong with worrying about the planet too. The one we’re told in the Bible to be good stewards of.
Here’s the bottom line for me. I believe that following Christian principles really means trying, in whatever small and imperfect way you can, to follow the example set by Jesus. And I see Jesus displaying compassion for the disinherited, anger against corruption, and hope for a world where equality reigns. I DO believe in each person’s capacity to change his or her life through God’s grace. But I have no idea why a little help from the government for those who need it interferes with that, much less threatens it. In my mind it might even bring us a bit closer to the world God has promised us . . . “on earth as it is in heaven.”

Something I had to do for art class back in, like... September. I was supposed to draw a large picture and a small illustration to go with one of the magazine articles she gave us. We had three choices: teens and reading, teens and sleeping, and flying cars. Naturally, every single other kid picked flying cars SO I HAD TO STAND OUT AND DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
I hated drawing this because I kept going "uggh what do /teens/ look like oh wait"
the chick in the dress is obviously based off of me more than the others >_>
As usual, looks a million times better in real life but oh well. =[


Lawmakers cut flu money from stimulus
April 27, 2009
by Stephen Dinan
Congress over the past four years has trimmed spending aimed at fighting a flu pandemic, most recently in this year's stimulus bill, when a key House Democrat tried but failed to get his colleagues to include hundreds of millions of dollars.
Funding was reduced despite health specialists' calls for a continued stream of money to help the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Health and Human Services Department and other agencies prepare for an outbreak.
According to Trust for America's Health, which pushes for preparedness for a pandemic, Congress appropriated $70 million in fiscal 2007, all of it for CDC, called for spending $155 million in 2008, all to CDC, and called for spending $741 million this year - $156 million to CDC, $78 million to HHS and $507 million to buy vaccines.
Trust for America's Health said states need an additional $350 million each year to maintain preparedness but that the nation is better able to handle an outbreak than it was four years ago because of the initial funding boost.
