Harboring The Hatred To Start Fresh [Steele]
Alpha Teren
Subject: Harboring The Hatred To Start Fresh [Steele] May 21st 2014, 10:21
Hatred flooded the male's mind. He was abandoned, for the most part. It could partially be for the fact that he killed his members for their acts of conspiracy and ignorance to the matter at hand. His only truly trusted member had left him, his son. Of all the wolves he had lent a paw in raising, shaping to be a carbon copy of himself, none had surpassed his tests like the young Azrael. Teren walked through the river, cleaning his pelt of the last remaining ties to his pack. The waters were cold, almost close to freezing. His old coat fought against the dropping temperatures, but alas, he had to get out unless he wished to catch a sickness. When he was completely out, he shook his body from head to foot, shaking the excess water from his hide. Hazel hues of green and brown mixed together, staring off into the distance. Where would he go? There was nothing holding him back now. He could go where he pleased, when he pleased to do so. He was a lone wolf. Never in his life had he been a loner. Large paws moved about the forest floor, he watched as they sank into the ground ever so slightly. Dead leaves covered the area, lying there all cold and crunchy like. The male despised the cold. It was a cold killer, even more than Teren himself. How would this even be? The midnight brute decided it was high time to move from this particular spot, faster than before. It had been months since he gave his old bones a good run for freedom. Picking up his pace again, he charged ahead. His tail high over his spine, just as he did in the pack.
His pink tongue hung from his ajar jaws. He could feel the wind breezing through his fur, shifting and distorting it. He was free at last. A small scent trickled over his nose, toying with him. Teren came to a halt, sniffing out the creature. It was rather small in form and had very large feet. He could see the prints left behind in the moist dirt. Like a deranged hunter, the wolf slunk close to the ground, following the prey as it moved about the ground, unaware of the danger following closely behind. Saliva began to build within his maw, dripping from the sides. He hadn't had a nice meal in a very long time, too worried about fighting for his life and killing those who denied his way. As he approached the rabbit, he held his breath and walked ever so softly in the snow. He was careful not to scare the little bugger. When he was in close reach, he lunged his old bones and muscles forward, closing his massive jaws on the small creature, and shaking the life from its poor little body. When he heard the snap of the neck, the male dropped the kill to the floor. He tore into the flesh and ripped at the fresh meat before him.
Blood gushed into his mouth with each bite, reminding him of the murder of his old pack. He enjoyed every minute of those kills, even to the very end when he could barely fight any longer. Snapping back to reality, he ate until he was mostly full. The hare was not large enough to fill the large brute, but it was enough. Finally when he had finished, he started to clean his pelt. His fur looked darker than night in comparison to the snow around him. Finishing up his cleansing, he looked around the area. There was nothing special to this place, a lot of large trees he knew nothing of. But when he sniffed the area for any hint of where he was, he found himself in shock. The stench of a pack was deep and bright in this place. But it was not that which shocked him. As he sniffed more, containing more information from the woods themselves, this pack was small and the leader, weak more than likely. Containing a snarl, he closed his mouth. As he looked for more information, his nose informed him there were males within these boundaries, but they were not of high ranking. Only the Alpha male. Teren turned his back, thinking of looking for another pack instead. But as he looked to the open terrain, he decided he could be looking for miles and miles before he found an opportunity as such.
Settling for this pack, he placed his rump on the ground. He dipped back his head and let out an old and crackly howl. It rattled within his throat, fighting to expose itself for all its luster. Then as if a blockage was removed the old Alpha released a blood-curdling howl which could be heard for miles around. Birds flew from their trees, scared for their lives. Other forest creatures dashed off, deeper into the thicket. When he finished, he lowered his large head and stared into the direction the pack lived. With a sigh, he dropped his large body to the floor, resting his head on crossed front paws. Here he would wait for the... Alpha.
Steele of Erenyx
Subject: Re: Harboring The Hatred To Start Fresh [Steele] May 24th 2014, 11:50
The autumn had come and presented itself with full force, showing the colors of the season. Orange, yellow, and red blanketed the floor, covering the dying grass and dried out bushes. The black male laid in the mouth of his den, staring to the outside world. He took a deep sigh and looked to the dens around him. Everything was silent and peaceful. Everything was perfect. He was content in the ways he had forced his life to be. He once fell in love with a wolf and paid for it dearly. He allowed his lineage to be continued, to spread the pack to grow and flourish, but even they were gone. All but one, Samael. He was the only one the male could really trust, of the males in his pack anyway. There were a few he could console his darkest things with, but they were of the female type. Could he truly trust a female? Perhaps all females were that way? He would never really know the truth, nor would any male for that matter. Females were always going to be untrustworthy. As he laid there, he stared to the dens, analyzing the work of their creators, wondering how things would be different had he never chosen to take a mate in the first place. He was curious to see how Erenyx would have been in that situation. His silver orbs looked and looked, but nothing changed inside the pack clearing. Perhaps the day was too early or the pack had been doing their own things. He did not care what the answer was, he was only concerned for one thing, but then, he didn't even know what he cared about. He had lost many things in life, and it appeared he would continue to do so. What would be the next thing for him to lose? While he was deep in thought, a loud and rusty sounding howl escaped from some wolf's lips. Startled by the action, the sound in itself, Steele stood to his four paws and stretched out his body.
Pushing off with his hind legs, the Alpha male made his way to the border where the other male was waiting. Steele moved through the brush and the leaves with speed, much faster than he had in a long time. The other wolf sounded to have a history, a powerful one from his sound alone. It was the call of an "alpha". When he approached the area of the guest, his nose flared, collecting the scents which thrived from the soul past his boundary. When he approached within inches from the other, he slowed to a walk. His ears were pinned forward, while his tail curled over his spine. His eyes stared at the figure before him, large and muscular. This creature, this monster, was larger than Steele himself. The male practically towered over him, more so than his previous Guardian, Nicolaus. Steele felt no fear when he stared into the soul-less eyes of emerald before him. He took a few moments to size up the wolf before him, judging him and plotting any ideas he would have to have in order to keep himself safe from this monster before him. The green eyes glared to him, right back from his silver stare. "So, elder wolf, what brings you to these borders? Shouldn't an elder wolf like you be looking for a place to curl up and die?"
The Original Alpha/Creator Of Erenyx
Other Characters: Warrior Odin, Apprentice Samael
Jade hues stared to the border, waiting and hoping a fae would not be the initial wolf to greet him. Faes did hold rank in his old pack, however, the thought of it made him sick to his stomach. He was patient, and would wait as long as it took. It did take quite a while. The old brute sighed as he thought about rolling onto his side. Before he could decide amongst himself, he saw a wolf enter his sight. He watched closely how the other approached him. The male which approached him, came off as the Alpha male of these lands. The world smelled like his putrid scent and forced the beast to snicker within his own being. Looking to the other, his eyes trained over the body of the 'Alpha male'. when the black wolf spoke, he gave him quite a laugh. But Teren did not laugh out loud, nor did he show his contempt for the other's position. Instead he kept his cool, and watched as the male patronized him for his age and appearance. Oh how this wolf would pay for the words of disrespect he spoke to Teren, the monster. But if Teren were to actually stand, he would tower over the male before him. He thought to himself for a moment, deciding what he would tell the questioning wolf. "I... The name is Teren. I am a monster and a form of which in the future, you might wish to respect instead of trying to downgrade the power that I have beneath my paws. I have done more in my years of life while you were suckling on the teets of your whore mother." Teren was not one to have a casual conversation with another, and if they wished to treat him as if he were nothing, then in return they would be nothing to him. As the brute moved his paws, he could feel the rush of anger surging through his form. His green orbs glared to the wolf before him. What would this 'Alpha' say to him? Before he would allow the other to speak, he stood tall and proud, holding his place and his head mighty over the other. "I have been an Alpha for many years, and after that, I served as an Elite. I may be old, but in my old age, as you call it, I am a beast, and I can kill you with a simple act of violence from my powerful jaws. Stand down Alpha and allow your new ruler to take this pack from nothing and make it great. If you stand down now, I will show you mercy and perhaps allow you to live."
Rage. Anger. Hatred. These feelings coursed through his body. His silver hues stared to the other wolf with disbelief. Was this truly happening in this moment? Was the old wolf coming for his position? Did he simply think that Steele would stand down and allow a useless old bag of bones to control the way things were? No. Steele would never just step aside and allow another to have what he worked so hard for. His eyes stared down the brute, even when he stood completely up on all fours. His tail hung high over his spine and the hairs along it started to rise and show their position. Steele meant business, the Alpha meant everything he spoke. "Stand down whelp. I do not care for your past, your present, or your future. I will not be backing down from what is mine. I will not move aside and let some scoundrel come to my lands and tell me how he plans to change my home. If there is something you truly want, then you will have to fight for it. If you do not wish to fight a wolf half your age, then I suggest you shut your mouth, turn around and go back to the hell you came from. You refer to yourself as a monster, but all I see is a trashed coat holding together a bunch of bones. You are nothing to the greatness of this pack. You are nothing compared to my achievements. You can consider yourself nothing at all. I am the ruler of these lands. I have slaved over my cause and forced myself to the most extensive work I have ever accomplished. I would rather be killed then just step aside and let a worm like you come and take what is mine." Steele breathed hard as he stared at the other wolf. His eyes flared with anger and hatred for the one called "Teren". If this old wolf wanted a fight, then he was going to pay for it.

Cackling, evil cackling, escaped from the larger males lips. His malevolent green hues stared to the brute before him, astounded by the words he spoke to him. "Pup, I am surprised by the words you choose to speak to me. It is your lack of experience which rears its ugly head in your place. You are not wise, you are not intelligent. for if you were of these things, then you would know better than to even think of challenging a seasoned veteran like myself. I have killed wolves for less than you are doing right now. I have been the Alpha to a powerful pack for too long to allow some worthless mutt think he can push me around because he pissed on some rocks or whatever. I will not allow a whelp like you to speak to me in such a manner, and if it's a fight you are wanting, then I shall be sure to make it your last. When I am done with you, you will be begging for your life, muttering crazy words the rest of your pack will be confused over. Your innards will be spread around the camp as a sign for any all not to mess with Teren. Your pack will be more accepting of one who will actually lead them, than one who just speaks empty threats in doing so. No more talking, now we fight!" He snarled as he sprung into an offensive stance. He allowed his full height to be seen and curled his tail in a dominant stance over his spine.
Moving closer to the male, he charged into him. It was an attempt to shake the other, to frazzle his brain and force him to act without thinking. Teren had done this trick many times. He returned to his previous position, a small distance between the two males as they began to circle slowly. Each one trying to keep their back from the other. Teren made small steps, careful not to trip among his own paws or any stubble that might be along the forest floor. The monster wished to get inside his head, "they call me a monster for the fact that I am one. Have you ever forced your own pups to kill one another not less than a year after they witnessed the murder of their own mother by your own word? No? Didn't think so. You look like the type to allow your emotions to strangle you and actually love a bitch." He chuckled as they snarled to one another, his green eyes watched the other carefully. Finally, Teren had enough of the toying, the games.. He pressed his weight on his hind legs and bounded towards the other male. His jaws had been set for the neck of the other, but if Steele was cunning and clever enough, he might only braise the shoulder.
Attack: First he charged into Steele, and then he lunged, trying to strike his neck
Defense: Keeping his body from the other, after his other attack, he has no defenses up
Injuries: None yet
Subject: Re: Harboring The Hatred To Start Fresh [Steele] June 29th 2014, 18:22
The first attack, Steele was not expecting. He had listened to the old wolf speak, his words fueling his anger in ways he did not even know he felt. His muscles clenched as he was shoved. He snarled and bared his teeth. "You bastard! How dare you say such things to me!" But before Steele could react to his words, or even attack for himself, he was attacked once more. Teren came for his throat, trying to catch his body, Steele moved out of the way. He took a deep breath as he felt teeth sliding in his shoulder. It scraped over his coat, forcing the flesh beneath to split and blood to leak out. Steele moved far from the other, separating them with a large amount of distance. His silver hues locked on to the green orbs across from him, waiting and prepared for anything. "You will not be getting what you came here for." Steele used this time to prepare himself, he rushed forward, charging for the male and hoping to grab hold of his flesh, to be able to rip it from his body. Steele was not a cannibal, but he would consume the flesh of this beast before him, just to prove that he is ready to keep his pack. He would lead Erenyx until his coat had flakes of grey and his body was breaking down into nothing. Now he was young and strong, passionate and determined. Nothing would stop him. He flexed his body, waiting for the recoil from the other.
Attack: Lunged for the throat
Defense: Separated them, then taking a defensive stance after his possible attack
Injuries: He has a wound in his left shoulder
[For the purpose of speeding this along, Teren and Steele get into a rigorous battle where it seems as though neither will win. In an attempt to finish the fight, Teren takes control over Steele. He pins him to the ground. Both are bleeding, though Steele is bleeding more than Teren. The two are soaked in each other's blood, but Teren has the upper paw. Grabbing Steele by the neck, Teren drags him into the pack lands. Both wolves are tired from their brawl, but Teren proves his abilities in the end.]

It’s 1937 on a dairy farm in Northern, Illinois. My family lived in a 5-bedroom farm house built by my grandfather in 1898. It was a beautiful house – large porch in the front, large porch in the back. We had electricity but no running water for cooking, bathing, cleaning or washing clothes.
All the potable water for drinking and cooking had to be carried by bucket from the well to the house, about 100 yards one way. No running water also meant we had no inside bath tub or shower. Water for sponge baths and house cleaning was drawn from a cistern. For those who don’t know what a cistern is, it’s basically a water holding receptacle. Ours would fill from the rain water off the roof of our home. On the side of the kitchen sink we had a hand pump to drawn the water.
It wasn’t until I was about 10 years old that we finally got running water in our house; and a large copper bathtub in our basement. We still didn’t have hot running water but at least we had a tub! We would heat the water and bath one by one – the children were first and then my mother, then my dad. It was quite nice of my mother to let us kids bathe first! That’s just the way it was back then.
Remember in 1937 we had just gotten through the depression so we were grateful for everything we had. I remember reading stories of people starving. They were people like me but I don’t remember ever missing a meal. My mom and dad worked very hard to put food on our table – and enough for the whole family. Together we raised chickens and hogs; and of course since we lived on a dairy farm we had plenty of fresh milk everyday. My mother loved gardening and grew fresh vegetables and flowers every summer. She would can anything we didn’t eat fresh so we could have nourishing food all through the winter.
And boy! Do I remember the custard pies and peach cobblers! I can still smell them coming out of the oven.

377 surveys were completed online and in printed form from which the data were later entered into the system.
Overall, the results of both the focus group study and the online community survey indicated that there is a strong desire for a living history farm as a vehicle to tell the regional stories of farming, agriculture, food sciences, geography and people. It can provide education and skills-training opportunities for children and youth, volunteer opportunities for youth and adults, and add to the economic vitality of the region.
However, at the same time, just over half to two-thirds of survey takers indicated they had either no or just some level of interest in supporting the farm through donations, membership or as a volunteer. Each of these sources of revenue are important for success, so these results should be cautionary. That said, interest and excitement could very well change and grow as plans move forward and the farm begins to become more of a reality.
At the November meeting, the Agricultural History Project board of directors voted to put together an advisory committee to explore the details involved with executing a living history farm.
Agricultural History Project presents “2015 Ag Talks,” reviving a popular series from past years. Please join us at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, September 30 at the Codiga Center and Museum, Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds, for the second of three 2015 Ag Talks on aspects of Central Coast agricultural history.
Would you like to learn more about the Focus Agriculture program? Jess Brown, Executive Director of Agri-Culture, and of the Santa Cruz County Farm Bureau will host a panel discussion on “25 Years of Focus Agriculture.” He and the four following Focus-Ag graduates will share their experiences with the national award-winning local Focus-Ag program:
Zach Friend, 2nd District County Supervisor for Santa Cruz County
Ceil Cirillo, City of Santa Cruz Redevelopment Director, retired
Ted Burke, owner of Shadowbrook Restaurant
Mark Silverstein, Executive Director, Elkhorn Slough Foundation
They will be joined by current Focus-Ag participant June Padilla Ponce, consultant for Salud Para La Gente, and by a familiar individual who presents each year to the program: Lou Calcagno, County Supervisor, Monterey County, retired. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about this fascinating program!
Next, plan to join us on Wednesday, October 21 at 7 p.m. for John Grafton’s talk on “Local Farming and Rancho Practices in the Californio Era.” John, a bilingual docent at San Juan Bautista State Historic Park and at Mission San Juan Bautista, grew up on cattle ranches and worked in large animal husbandry for the Peace Corps in South America. He is a blacksmith and consults on early California archaeological projects. His talk will include some of the early implements in the Ag History collection, and those with their own early California implements are welcome to bring them. We encourage Spanish-speaking attendees, as this presentation can be bilingual.
Our kickoff presentation on August 19 by ever-popular Cabrillo College Professor Sandy Lydon was well attended.
The cost to attend each lecture is $3 for members and $5 for nonmembers. Refreshments will be served. If you have topics or speakers to suggest for 2016 Ag Talks, let us know. For more information, call Agricultural History Project at (831) 724-5898.
Let’s Talk About Insects!
By Lindsey Roberts, Marketing & Communications Director
Lakeside Organic Gardens
The theme at this months Agricultural History Project’s “2nd Saturday on the Farm” is games and grilling. We’re donating some of our favorite grill-able vegetables so the volunteers at AHP can serve them to their guests. They asked if we’d be interested in talking about how these crops are grown. We excitedly said “YES!” and decided to discuss the importance of beneficial insects in our growing practices which make us different from most. Anyways, who doesn’t love talking about insects?
So here goes…
Lakeside Organic Gardens is committed to growing 100% organic produce because we believe it’s the right thing to do. Organic produce is better for our health and our environment. We don’t use synthetic agricultural chemicals but instead we rely on natural fertilizers, compost, beneficial insects, beneficial habitat plants, and strategic crop rotations. Today we’re going to discuss beneficial insects.
We use Mother Nature as often as possible because she will provide us with a lot of control we don’t normally get without using synthetic chemicals. “It’s an expensive way to farm and very time consuming, but well worth it in the end,” said Alan Miyumura, the Disease & Pest Control Manager at Lakeside Organic Gardens.” He goes on to explain “Lakeside releases parasites and lady bugs to aid in managing aphid and other harmful insect populations. Our beneficial insects are encouraged to stay nearby our crops because we plant a beneficial habitat to suits their basic needs.”
Lakeside Organic Gardens will occasionally harvest lady bugs from the Santa Cruz Mountains or purchase beneficial insects and introduce them to a field. Our goal is to create an environment that attracts the adult beneficial insects to the fields. Dick Peixoto, the grower owner says, “the trick is to make our fields look more attractive than the neighbors so they stick around.” The most common beneficial insect in Santa Cruz County is the hover fly, also known as the syrphid fly. It hovers over simple flowers and feeds off the nectar. They look for a nectar abundant place to lay their eggs and once the eggs hatch, the larva feed off the aphid. It’s a win, win situation for an organic farmer.
Our pest control team scans the fields for harmful pests like aphids and worms that do harm to the plants. When harmful pest population gets out of hand, our pest control team decides which beneficial insects to release based on the current pest pressures. If we cannot get the population under control, it’s possible we may plow under an entire field. This is a very tough decision to make and is often a very costly one.
With the help of beneficial insects like hover flies, lady bugs and parasites, we’re able to produce high quality organic vegetables year-round right here in Santa Cruz County on the beautiful Central Coast of California.
“Our belief is that Mother Nature had this figured out long before we arrived, all we have to do is help her as much as we can.” — Dick Peixoto, grower owner

Every May, Ag History holds its best attended event, Day on the Farm, complete with demonstrations and hands-on activities from farm and ranch life in the past.
From the Agricultural History Project Archives, here are some local recollections of life on the farm.
John N. Lucich (1917 – 2004): During apple harvest my job after school was to pick up
windfalls at the rate of 1¢ per Bx which my father paid me. Sometimes before it
got too dark I might pick up 20 Bxs. Also as a teenager I made apple boxes. The rate
of pay was 50¢ per 100 Bxs. Each box required 28 nails. You had to stock your bench
with shook, fill your stripper with nails and bundle your Bxs 3 to a bundle. The experienced nailer could make 500 Bxs in 8 hours. I have pruned apple trees, thinned, sprayed, picked apples @ 4¢ per Bx. I at around age 10 would assist in the packing shed labeling Bxs for
shipment to England….As kids there was no time to play….1
Frank R. Oliver (deceased): Green Valley Growing-Up
In 1935 when I was 10 my folks bought their ranch on Green Valley Road. The bulk of
the top eight acres was an older pear orchard with boysenberries planted in between…
Pop proceeded to remove it all to raise row crops like tomatoes, sugar beets, strawberries
With 1935 ingenuity, he or someone provided an old 1924 or 25 black sedan, anchored
it near the yellow house, took off one rear tire, strung the rear wheel with a 3 to
4 inch belt, which was attached to a 24 inch circular saw. The car was anchored in
position, put into gear, like second or third to propel the saw blade. The table was
butted up to the new saw, which when a log was placed could be pushed into the whirling
blade. I vividly recall a crew of three to four men spending about a month sawing wood
for the fireplace to use at our home. All this wood was hauled to the backyard, and
for the next three months every day after school I would neatly stack it in one tier sections
6 foot long 4 foot high and separated by small and large pieces. It also occupied my
Saturdays and boy did I look forward to Sundays….I was never so glad to see that old car
power plant leave the ranch.
The clearing [of] the land for row crops brought new chores. Pop wanted to raise tomatoes
for a cannery. So with the remainder of the backyard, I built what we called tomato
plant beds. They were about 6 feet wide and about 30 feet long. The plants for the big
field were raised from seed to individual plants for transplanting. The beds had to be
weeded, watered, covered from the sun and frost and subsequently harvested for
replanting in the ex-pear orchard.
Needless to say the work didn’t hurt me, and no doubt kept me healthy.2
Foster Hutchings (1912 – 1984): Foster’s Remembrances:
When he was about 5 yrs. old, he had to lead the work horses out of the barn to water,
and they would rare up and he would have to hand onto the rope (or they would get
away and he would be in trouble), and they would fling him around in the air when they
rared up.
He went barefooted and in cold mornings, he would warm his feet in the spots where
the cows had bedded down.3
Lawrence Marshall (1890 – 1988):
When Lawrence Marshall took charge of running the family ranch on Mount Madonna
Road [in 1910], he was up before dawn to till the fields with a horse and plow. And
when the day was done, he returned to a home where cooking was done on a wood stove
and lighting was by kerosene lamp.
If Marshall wanted to travel the seven miles into Watsonville, it took two hours with a
team of horses….
‘There was no way of getting to high school. It was too far, and we didn’t have any bicycles,’ said Lawrence.
Lawrence’s eight sisters all managed to attend high school in Watsonville by boarding
with families in town during the week. The girls earned their keep by doing housework
for the families they stayed with….4
John Larkin (1918 – 2007):
…I was born and raised on a farm…[It] was a subsistence type farm where we had
about fourteen or fifteen good cows and we had a few brood sows and we did all
of our work with horses and we grew tomatoes and we grew young pigs. My father,
along with many of his trades, was a real good butcher also….[He] was a pretty good
blacksmith and he could repair shoes like you wouldn’t believe. And he used to be a
fair carpenter….
…I always like to say that we always had a little bit of money to spend because we
always grew our own stuff and we always had something to sell….There were ten kids….
We all miked cows and we all fed pigs and we all baled hay and stacked hay and did
everything else that a farm kid had to do. We worked in the orchard….It was Newtown
Pippins and White Winter Permains and Winter Banana apples….5
Burton Anderson (living):
…The ranch was 80 acres on Hunter Lane [off River Road outside Salinas] belonging to
my Swiss grandfather….One of my jobs, when I was old enough, was to clean the barn,
feed and water the horses, and finally to harness them for the day’s work….Like most
farm boys in the 1930s I joined the 4-H Club and raised lambs, pigs, squash, and
pumpkins. I also entered some of my Bartlett pears and pumpkins in the Monterey
County Fair and received 1st prize for several years. The highlight of our 4-H year
was the annual camp, sponsored by U.C. Agricultural Extension, at the dormitories at
Asilomar. It was great fun and we got to meet boys and girls from other parts of Monterey County.6
Floyd Silliman (1908 – 1979):
…[At] the old schoolhouse I recall how the teacher would let us out to view the
happenings of interest. A herd of cattle going by, a threshing outfit pulled by a big
iron-wheeled steam engine and followed by all the necessary wagons pulled by
horses, the six and eight-horse teams hauling sugar beets and, of course, the Gypsies
with all their dogs, kids and trading animals….
The cook house, bunk house and blacksmith shop were always good places for us kids.
The cooks, and we had all kinds from good ones to drunks, generally made hot apple
pie daily and, of course, hot biscuits….
The blacksmith shop was a good place for kids to visit. We would take turns pumping
the bellows that kept the forge going. There were many different smithies over the years…Generally they would help us kids with our projects. Just prior to planting
my father would bring in about fifty head of horses to be shod. Good and bad were
included in the bunch, but they all got homemade shoes nailed on—even though some
of them were lying on their backs all tied up….
Mom would invite town kids out at times….We would envy the Lindsey bunch because
they never wore shoes during summer, and they could run across clods and stubble. We
would generally go to the river where we had a good swimming hole. If the day was
foggy, we swam in a stagnant pool as it was warmer….7
Do these stories remind you of your own experiences, or of life as described to you by older family members, perhaps your parents or grandparents? We would like to hear the stories of your life in agriculture, and this blog will occasionally be updated with more memories.
Also, Ag History is proposing to create a permanent Living History Farm to provide ongoing experiences of past agricultural life. If you like this idea or you’d like to weigh in on this proposal, there’s still time to join a focus group at http://aghistoryproject.org/living-history-farm/. Or send your thoughts on this subject to postmaster@aghistoryproject.org.

The Benko gambit is rarely seen in top events; however Natalija needed a win with black. The usual pressure black has for the sacrificed pawn was tangible during the first 30 something moves, then at move 33 black got it back. Both players then decided to go for the kill with black having a slight upper hand which brought her the victory in the end. This match goes now into tie breaks.

Mariya had a rocky start against our fellow Canadian Yuan in round 1, while Humpy won all 3 matches so far with a 2-0 score. It is then unexpected to see Mariya surprising her opponent with a nice pseudo Queen sac and scoring the full point when black's King was left alone.

Treasure Island Music Festival, Day 1 (Sat)
2007-09-17 1 CommentMusic, Photography
Sarah & I went to the first day of the Treasure Island Music Festival on Saturday, and had a lovely time. Although there were more bands in day 2’s lineup that I’m familiar with, the schedule just didn’t work out for us, so Day 1 it was (also at $100 for a 2-day pass, we opted for only one day!).
Downtown SF from Treasure Island
Treasure Island, a former Naval Base in the middle of San Francisco Bay, has very limited parking, so they ran free shuttles and provided free parking at semi-nearby AT&T Park on the SF waterfront. We got to the festival at a little after noon, with plenty of time to walk around before the meat of the program started.
They had a pavillion full of vintage arcade games (Pac Man, Space Invaders, Tempest, Defender, and so on), several kiosks with environmental information, a few dozen merchandise vendors a few ATMs featuring $4 service charges, and another couple dozen food and drink stands of the type usually seen at street fairs and festivals.
After getting the lay of the land, we staked out a patch of lawn near, but not too near, the Bridge Stage.
Dengue Fever:
This first act on the Bridge Stage (the nearby Tunnel Stage seemed to be mostly DJ acts, and we didn’t want to give up out patch of lawn for them) was this group from LA featuring a lovely Cambodian singer in the Bollywood style, with ska/funk sounds from the band, which was comprised of keyboard, sax, bass, guitar and drums. They had a fun, international-pop sound, and we enjoyed their half-hour set very much, enough so that I later purchased their album “Escape From Dragon House” on iTunes.
In the 20 minutes following their set, I got us a couple of drinks. The choices were 2 red wines, 2 white wines, Hinekein (regular & light), and the ubiquitous soju “cocktails” here mixed with your choice of Vitamin Water energy drink, cranberry, or tonic.
Zion I:
I was hopeful about this group, having heard one of their songs, a reggae remake of a song by the Clash, and they’re local boys from Oakland, described as a positive Hip-Hop group, but alas, although I appreciated their energy and good vibrations, their music to my ears sounded like any other hip-hop. Granted, it isn’t a genre that I’m well-versed in, but my tastes run to the much funkier side of things (the Coup, Blackalicious, etc). Zion I consisted of 2 rappers and a MC, with a third guest rapper for a few songs. They did, however, get the crowd on its feet and moving, which counts for something.
Ghostland Observatory:
This Austin, Texas-based duo (singer/guitar and synthesizer) were one of our favorites of the festival. We didn’t know anything about them beforehand, and were quite pleasantly surprised at their fun-filled and upbeat set. The keyboard player, sporting a baby-blue cape with a purple cross on the back, laid out some old-school squeaks and squacks atop some fine 1980’s-style synth pop while the energetic singer bounced and danced all over the stage, singing in a high-pitched voice. Hmmm, that description doesn’t sound nearly as good as the band does, but anyways we liked ’em a lot!
M.I.A.:
MIA was one of the two acts playing at day 1 that we were already familiar with (the other being Thievery Corporation), and although both Sarah & I quite like MIA’s deubt “Arular,” her set was lackluster. MIA had a backup rapper/dancer with her, and a DJ in the back. One of my gripes about the 1st day’s lineup was the (over) preponderance of DJ or mostly-DJ acts, which aren’t all that interesting to me to see live. Not to detract from the talent that many DJs obviously have (and that I certainly do not), but I’d really much rather see someone play an instrument than push a bunch of buttons.
Towards the end of her set, a couple dozen people from the crowd were allowed onstage, and were clearly psyched to be dancing w/MIA. Song-wise, she played a mix of stuff from “Arular” and her new album “Kala,” which I don’t care for very much.
The field was getting much more crowded by this point, so we decided to give up our patch of grass and wander around. We ran into our upstairs neighbor Liz and her friend while in the bathroom line, a funny coincidence in a crowd of thousands!
Sarah wanted to ride the Ferris Wheel, so we paid our $5/each and waited in a short line. Treasure Island has excellent views, being in the middle of SF Bay, and they’re even better atop a 50′ (or thereabouts) wheel!
DJ Shadow & Cut Chemist:
Although we saw a number of people with DJ Shadow shirts on, the set ended with us wondering what the deal was. They sounded very much like the sort of filler music one would expect in between bands, with long stretches of source material with no discernable mixing going on, and their set, at one full hour, felt way too long.
Gotan Project:
The DJ-heavy lineup more than redeemed itself with this group, our favorite of the evening. Featuring up to 8 acoustic players (singer, 3 violins, cello, piano, accordian, and guitar) plus 2 DJs providing the beats, this modern tango-electronica fusion had a fantastic energy and talent to spare. Not at all normally one to do much more than a white-boy-head-bob, I was actually moved to swing, step and sway (in my own unrhythmic way of course), as was everyone else. This was the highlight of the concert for us, for sure!
We were very tired by the end of Gotan’s set, and decided to bail out, even though that meant us missing headliner Thievery Corporation. We’d been at the festival for over 8 hours, and just couldn’t see handling another 2+ hours. Also of concern were the logistics of getting 7000+ people off of the island on 50-person-capacity shuttles, and our early departure was crowd-free and smooth.
This was a fun festival, and I hope they do it again next year. The lineup over the two days was a good sampling of local and indie acts and the setting is beautiful – good stuff!

Driving back from Springfield, Ill., I got a call from the Springfield News-Leader, in Springfield, Mo., looking for a shooter for the State Soccer Championship being held in Blue Springs. I was assigned to shoot Springfield Catholic High School in their semi-final match against Fatima on Friday and if they continued their undefeated season, (they did) in the Class 1 Championship on Saturday. While at the Examiner I shot a sporting event almost everyday and I’ve missed it. An added bonus to getting a paycheck is that Catholic won. I’ve lost count of how many trips to state I made (somewhere in the low teens) during my 2 1/2 years in Independence, almost all of them ending with the kids I was there to cover being in tears at the conclusion of the championship game, the sole exception being wrestling where Blue Springs had the state title wrapped up the day BEFORE I arrived. I was starting to wonder if there might be some truth to my self-depreciating jokes about being a jinx. Catholic forward Michtell Moncada ended that with a header with a little over 12 minutes left in the game. The weather was warm, the light was nice and despite some serious wind it was a nice way to spend a Friday and Saturday afternoon.

Hiaki Basics
Applicatives and Suppletion in Hiaki
Click here to download the paper
This study investigates the interaction of applicative constructions and suppletion in Hiaki and proposes a new hypothesis about their relationship.
An applicative adds a new direct object to the sentence. The easiest way to understand this concept is with an example. In the sentence, “I baked a cake”, “I” is the subject, “baked” is the verb, and “a cake” is the direct object. In English, a second direct object could be added by saying “I baked my son a cake” where “my son” is the new direct object.
An applicative is a suffix added to a verb when a new direct object is added. In Hiaki, the suffix added to the verb is -ria. In English, if the suffix –ria were used, then the example above would be “I bakedria my son a cake.”
Here is an example of a Hiaki sentence with and without an applicative suffix:
Without an applicative:
Juan Peotau nookak.
Juan Pete-to spoke
“Juan spoke to Pete”.
With an applicative:
Juan Fernandata Peotau nokriak.
Juan Fernanda-acc Pete-to spoke-ria-pfv
“Juan spoke to Pete for Fernanda.”
Suppletion is a different concept, but it still deals with the way verbs look in a sentence. A verb that displays suppletion is one that changes dramatically when used in different tenses or contexts. In English, one of the more common suppletive verbs is “go” which becomes “went” in the past tense.
In Hiaki, suppletion occurs in some verbs depending on whether they refer to multiple subjects or not. For example, the verb meaning “to run” in the singular sense is vuite, as in Juan vuite, “John is running”. When the subject is plural, however, it becomes tenne, as in Ume uusim tenne, “The children are running”.
The original hypothesis was about the relationship between applicatives and suppletion in Hiaki. It was discovered that intransitive verbs like vuite/tenne, which undergo suppletion, cannot take an applicative (-ria). In contrast, intransitive verbs like bwiika, “sing”, which do not undergo suppletion, can take the applicative suffix. The paper proposes that suppletive intransitive verbs are special in that their subjects are located in a different place in the sentence structure than the subjects of non-suppletive verbs, which is why these verbs cannot have an applicative added to them.

North Korean Type 73 GPMGs in Iraq, Syria & Yemen
March 16, 2016al-Imam Ali Brigade, Babylon Brigades, Badr Bridgades, DPRK, Houthis, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Syrian Arab Army, Taiz, Type 73, Yemen
Ali Richter
Update 160328: Further evidence of the use of the Type 73 GPMG in Yemen can be seen here.
The North Korean Type 73 GPMG has been previously documented in Iraq and Syria, and recently observed in Yemen. Images from Iraq show the Type 73 primarily in the hands of Iraqi Shi’a militias, particularly Badr Brigade forces, which have operated under direction from, and with substantial military support from, Iran. Other groups have also acquired limited examples of the Type 73, including the al-Imam Ali Brigade and the Christian Babylon Brigades. The Type 73 has also been documented in the hands of the Syrian Arab Army operating near Palmyra, Syria. A recent video from the Al-Masirah channel shows the Type 73 in the hands of a Houthi fighter in Taiz governorate.
Badr Brigades fighters with a North Korean Type 73 GPMG in Iraq.
North Korean Type 73 GPMG operated by SAA near Palmyra, Syria.
Houthi fighter armed with a North Korean Type 73 GPMG in Taiz governorate, Yemen.
The Type 73 is a rotary-locked, gas-operated general purpose machine gun chambered for the 7.62 x 54R mm cartridge. It weighs in at 10.6 kilograms and is 1190 mm in length. It is commonly fed from either non-disintegrating belts (typically 100 or 250 rounds, although troops in combat sometimes shorten these or use irregular lengths) or 30-round removable box magazines. The Type 73 is sometimes incorrectly referred to as a ‘light machine gun’.
The common denominator linking the presence of the relatively rare Type 73 GPMG in Iraq, Syria, and Yemen is likely to be support from Iran. Iran received the Type 73 GPMG from North Korea, likely during the late 1970s to mid-1980s, and employed these weapons during the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq War. Iran has continued to employ the Type 73 GPMG in a reserve role in recent years, issued to the paramilitary Basij forces and observed during exercises in the past decade.

Calibre: 7.62 x 54R mm
Overall length: 1190 mm
Rate of fire: 600 – 700 rounds per minute
Feed: 30-round removable box magazine or 100- or 250-round non-disintegrating belts

Remember, all arms and munitions are dangerous. Treat all firearms as if they are loaded, and all munitions as if they are live, until you have personally confirmed otherwise. If you do not have specialist knowledge, never assume that arms or munitions are safe to handle until they have been inspected by a subject matter specialist. You should not approach, handle, move, operate, or modify arms and munitions unless explicitly trained to do so. If you encounter any unexploded ordnance (UXO) or explosive remnants of war (ERW), always remember the ‘ARMS’ acronym:
AVOID the area
RECORD all relevant information
MARK the area to warn others
SEEK assistance from the relevant authorities
One thought on “North Korean Type 73 GPMGs in Iraq, Syria & Yemen”
Dean Lane / Reply March 28, 2018 at 0825
Your article on the North Korean type 73 was interesting. Did the type 73 use proprietary magazines or was it barrowed from another design ?

Weaving Darkness and Silence
Zarina Hashmi
Web Review BY Anushka Rajendran
Gallery Espace
Some wounds never heal. Some might even find temporary relief from scratching away at open gashes, as if this redresses the pain. Such is the case of Zarina Hashmi, who chisels away at blocks for her woodcut prints and cuts away at paper for her collages, all the while attempting to remediate the silence that surrounds both personal and collective traumas of the past, particularly in relation to the 1947 Partition of India and Pakistan.
This endeavor for respite from feelings of pain and suffering could be intuited throughout the artist’s exhibition “Weaving Darkness and Silence” at Gallery Espace. Zarina’s practice has always been an attempt to transgress the limits of language in representing memory, exile and social cataclysms. In the never-before-exhibited woodcut prints, etchings and collages on display, she further withdraws into a particular quality of these notions—the repressed presence of these topics from everyday consciousness, with varying forms of darkness as metaphors for it. For instance, the penetrating loneliness of the night is laid out in parallel vertical black lines in Silent Night (2017), which carve out negative spaces against a ground of white paper.
Paper for Zarina is like skin—malleable and susceptible to aging. As a consequence, her intimate treatment of the material takes on visceral qualities, bringing to mind the physicality of her aging body, and the melding of body and emotional suffering. In works such as Untitled (2017), archways from the artist’s childhood home in Aligarh—to which she never had the opportunity to return—are cut out from handmade paper, crushed to depict the texture of aging skin, in turn suggestive of a haunting memory that is perhaps inscribed on her body. In a series of untitled collages from 2017, made from etchings on handmade paper, a similar texture is visible, indicating more indelible loss.

Architectural plans from the artist’s memory are also rendered in collages. Black paper strips are reconfigured in different compositions, tracing the architectural layouts of Zarina’s childhood home in Aligarh, her studio in New York—where she has been living for many years—and her barsati (rooftop house) in New Delhi, from a different time in her life. Occasionally, the black outlines are violently interrupted by a streak of red. These still-decipherable forms convulse into disarray as they break apart into a burst of lines, only for the artist to put them together again in asymmetrical, geometric shapes. Here, the strips of paper, which are carefully glued together, seem to suit the precariousness of recalling the past. It is almost as if they were jolted out of the faux certainty of memory to reveal themselves for what they are—an illusion. Further along, the collages morph from their linearity into aviatic forms, suspended in space, as seen in the work Birds in Flight (2017), to counter the neat paper cuttings of her architectural plans.
Darkness cannot exist without light, or at least the possibility of it. In another series shown in the exhibition, specks of gold and pewter leaf—materials Zarina has been working with since 2000—shine through white tissue paper and Somerset Antique paper. These compositions, which betray a glimmer of hope, give way to darker works, such as the show’s title exhibit, Weaving Darkness and Silence (2016), in which a dense wash of Sumi ink threatens to drown out the white of the paper. In Untitled (2017), where strips of black handmade paper are neatly woven together, the darkness seems to eclipse the light entirely.

In “Weaving Darkness and Silence,” each work seems to progressively deconstruct propositions made by earlier pieces in the exhibition, such as light yielding to complete darkness and architectural plans that get dismantled. There seems to be no way out, no escape route from the weight of memory and trauma of exile. Woodcut prints such as Behind the Fence (2017) and Running Lines (2017) depict dead ends and barriers of barbed wire and mesh. In a collage made of pewter leaf titled Laying Bricks (2017), viewers are faced with a brick wall. The only possibility of redemption that the exhibition indicates is the making of the works themselves. It is the artist’s process of confronting both darkness and silence by casting them repeatedly, over and over again, which yields relief and catharsis.
Zarina Hashmi’s “Weaving Darkness and Silence” is on view at Gallery Espace, New Delhi, until March 3, 2018.

Mandela’s long-time assistant Zelda la Grange recalls her early racism
“I was a full-on racist by the time I started working for him.”
That is the shocking revelation from Nelson Mandela’s long-time personal assistant, gatekeeper, and trusted aide, Zelda la Grange, a white Afrikaner.
“Now looking back, if you [asked] me at the age of twenty-three I would probably have denied being a racist,” she told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour on Tuesday. “Now it's easier, because you can recognize the change in yourself.”
La Grange was born the year after Mandela was sent to prison; little in her upbringing suggests she was destined to be confidant to the world’s foremost black liberation leader.
She had been so ignorant of her country’s politics that she hadn’t even heard of Mandela when it was announced he would be released from prison, in 1990.
“I was swimming in the pool on that day in February,” she told Amanpour. “And [her father] came outside and he said to me, ‘We are in trouble.’”
“And I said, ‘What are you talking about?’”
“And he said, ‘The terrorist is being released.’”
“I said, ‘Who is that?’”
“And he said, ‘Nelson Mandela.’”
“I continued swimming. It didn't affect my life. I didn't know who he was. My father apparently knew who he was.”
When Mandela assumed the presidency after that landmark election in 1994, la Grange happened to be applying for a menial typist job in the office of the presidency when Mandela’s then-secretary came into the room and said she needed someone “right now.”
It was all, she said, “so unlikely to happen.”
Her first meeting with Mandela was “the turning point in my life,” she told Amanpour.
“He was kind. He smiled. He extended his hand, and he spoke to me in my own language. He spoke to me in Afrikaans. And that is the last thing you expect of him, because I was brought up to fear this man.”
“And that just destroyed my defenses immediately, and I broke down and I was crying, and he said to me, ‘No, no, no, you're overreacting.’”
“And if a president tells you you’re overreacting, you pull yourself together very quickly.”
It would be the beginning of a lifelong friendship and alliance.
Bringing excitement to Mandela’s life
In those first years of Mandela’s presidency, La Grange said, “there was no excitement really, I think, in his life other than politics.”
“At that stage, I mean, I didn't really think of the president entering into a romantic relationship.”
That all changed during a state visit to Paris.
“I got to his room and his door was closed. You know, of course the president's got a lounge and a dining room and a room and so and so – this door leading to his suite was closed.”
She ran the president’s spokesman and said, “There’s a problem – the president's door is closed and there's a lady inside.”
“I just knew, we all knew, if it's one thing not supposed to happen it's that the president's door is closed when he’s alone with a woman.”
There was broad concern at the time, she explained, that the president’s opponents could “put him in a compromising position” – in other words, frame him.
“I got called to the president's suite and he said to me after a while, ‘This is my friend Graça Machel, and I want you to look after her and she's going with us to the next event, so please keep an eye on her.’”
“And that was the start of this wonderful, romantic relationship between the two of them and them. And yeah, it turned out to be the best thing that could ever happen to him.”
“She brought him about to understand or to appreciate the different things in life again – beautiful music, look at the flowers, walking hand in hand in the street early in the morning or late in the afternoon. Ordinary things that we take for granted.”
Nelson and Elizabeth
Mandela may very well have been the only person who could call Queen Elizabeth, “Elizabeth.”
“It was fascinating to watch, and Ms. Machel at one point said to Madiba, ‘You can't call her Elizabeth!’”
“And then Madiba responded and he said, ‘Well, she calls me Nelson.’ So it was very entertaining to watch.”
“He respected the Queen but it was a warm friendship and I think they recognized each other as human beings – each other's humanity. And I think the Queen enjoyed that really.”
It was probably rare for her, Amanpour said.
“I think very rare for her.”
“He walked up to her when we visited Buckingham Palace at one occasion, and he said to her, ‘Oh, Elizabeth, you've lost weight.’”
“Not something that everyone gets to tell the Queen of England.”
“She laughed. You know, she was entertained probably by this directness. And with no shame and no ill intent – you know, was Madiba loved charming women and he was always very complimentary of women. So it was part of who he was.”
Entertaining the Iranians
So close were la Grange and Mandela that he insisted she attend all state dinners – even those private meals with just the president and his counterpart.
Even, she explained to Amanpour, a private dinner with Iranian President Mohammad Khatami.
“It was the weirdest experience, because suddenly I find myself with only these two people, Nelson Mandela and President Khatami, and I have to give President Khatami the history of South Africa.”
“And Madiba was happily eating. He's not conversing. He's just, you know, looking at the two of us, sharing history.”
Perhaps an opportunity, Amanpour asked, for Mandela to simply enjoy his meal?
“That was I think exactly it. For once he could really just enjoy his food and he was just watching me entertaining the president.”

Of course she was a 'full on racist', but so were 99% of all white south Africans. This is why its so important to have political leaders who call on their 'higher selves' to lead the public discourse. Not the self-interested, bigoted, sectarian religious 'Self' that too often speaks. By the way, this is the main issue in Iraq today.
As a white South African who lived through Apartheid, I can say with confidence (and on behalf of the many many many others who were fiercely against it all) that your comment regarding 99% of us is 100% false and a hugely unfair generalisation.
yummukutu
Then why didn't the many of you stand up and do something? I know that many whites fought alongside blacks and many blacks were against Mandela, at least initially but these have been very small numbers of both.
One great man said that "Bad things when good men remain silent". Are you one of those who choose to just "mind your business" whilst ennocent people dies just because they were of the "wrong" skin color?

The country was under siege from the USSR!
Let me tell you about South Africa and Africa: During apartheid, if a black person drove into a white neighbourhood, they were given a job. They were given food etc. If a white person drove into a black neighbourhood, that person was murdered by mobs! The political situation was so intense that land or territory was seen as being owned by various races. That is how hostile it was.
In 2013 South Africa has over 1 million rapes a year, 67,000 babies are raped by black people. But from 1900 – 1900 things were far far worse: In Africa tens of millions died in wars. Dictatorships ruled. Tribal kings. The whites said: we can't live like this! We trust no-one. We live apart, because at least then we are safe and can build our economies. And we did: the 9th largest stock exchange, 15th largest economy. But at some time we needed to share power and integrate the societies. And we didn't share enough land and integrate enough because we feared for our lives. Every other white country collapsed completely in Africa.
99% of white people in South Africa were not rascist, not even all Afrikaners were rascist. How do you think the referendum came about? Living in Europe I can tell you that there are a lot of rascists right here and of course there's the US. Why didn't the UK and the US do more to help the black people in South Africa during apartheid? it's because they themselves considered Mandela and his political party to be terrorists.

Great story, but she speaks NOTHING of her racism or what made her a racist.
garymak54
She most certainly does, quite clearly and quite early. That's how she was brought up, in the totality of the belief in Apartheid. She also discusses her epiphany that her entire belief system was false. Good for her for confronting it, reforming and working to right those wrongs.
She did speak about what made her racist. It's how she was raised. Read the beginning of the story.
It only retracts years of appartheid that went on and on , without the interference of OCDE , through sanctions or any kind of action . Even the US did very little to help ending that regime of horror. It resembles what Hitler did to jews.
Moshe Ciwal
You mean like the concentration camps, gas chambers and mass graves?
You must be joking? I suggest you read some South African history, Afrikaners did not keep blacks in concentration camps and starve them to death. Neither did they lead them into showers killing them by gas. Millions of people were killed over a few years during the holocaust. Provide me with proof of how many blacks were murdered during 50 years of apartheid. Boers died by the thousands in British concentration camps but they didnt keep crying a sob story wallowing in self pity.
Thank you CJ. It's exactly the response I was hoping for. What happened to Boers and blacks (for that matter) in British concentration camps can be compared to what happened to Jews during the Holocaust. I guess it depends on who writes the history books. Thanks again for putting it in perspective.
Cesar, funny you say nothing about the horror that is happening under the current government in South Africa. where black on with crime has reached 1000 a white farmers a year, sports teams are force to choose black players, police must be 96% black, Julius Malema who has openly spoken hate speech against whites, in parliament and is now a member of the comity choosing judges, self have more than 5 court cases pending and has been convicted of fraud. Police commissioner socializing with criminals......
Wikipedia apartheid
Between 1960 and 1994, according to statistics from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the Inkatha Freedom Party was responsible for 4,500 killings, South African security forces were responsible for 2,700 killings and the ANC was responsible for 1,300 killings
You liar!
She has.
HER DAD TOLD HER
there is also quite a contradiction in the story above....
1st comes : “I continued swimming. It didn't affect my life. I didn't know who he was. My father apparently knew who he was.”
Then comes: He spoke to me in Afrikaans. And that is the last thing you expect of him, because I was brought up to fear this man.”
she hadn't heard of him but was brought up to fear him.....
It was years after he was released that he was elected president. She had heard of him by then.
June 26, 2014 at 9:45 am |
I read that too. How can she not know who Mandela is, then say she was "brought up" to fear him? Which is it? I just think she's a liar. #FAIL
He was released in 1990 and elected in 1994 when she says she was 23. So he was released when she was 19, still basically a teen. Maybe "brought up" wasn't the best word choice to use, but her story holds water unless you have some reason to not believe her or giver her the benefit of the doubt.
Let me try and describe the situation in South Africa in 1985. Imagine countless underground political parties that meet in secret. They are represent non-black people. Some are funded by the USSR, some by Sweden, some by the US. The ANC had 5000 members in 1960. They go about collecting signatures, getting new members. Some are liberals, some are African nationalists, a few are capitalists, 50% are communists. Their demands are most socialistic. See their founding charter 1955. They want a non-racial South Africa.
Europe grants independence for many African countries. But there is no political structures in place. Europe abandons its colonies immediately. So out of the blue, new political parties arise and try to seize power. Many are communists. They seize power in most newly independent countries. The US gets nervous about the takeover of basically the entire Africa by Marxist groups and asks SA to intervene and stop the Soviet backed political parties from imposing one party states. So South Africa military intervenes everywhere in Africa.
At this time, Mandela is not even famous. The ANC is just one of many groups the apartheid government took on militarily inside and outside South Africa. So that is why she doesn't know about him. To remain in power in Africa is difficult. No chances were taken by the white dominated government. Around and outside South Africa, throughout the region 3 million is killed 12 million displaced in wars. Inside Africa, dictatorships rule. 55 out of 56 African countries is a mess with ultra low incomes and Marxist / Islamist governments. That's why apartheid lasted so long. There was no trust, no stability, anywhere. 4 million Europeans fled Africa in the Cold War.
So you always here from the ANC's perspective, but you never hear from the PAC, AZAPO, MPLA, ZAPO, SWAPO, UDM, IFP, FP... hundreds of those organizations, some were internationally recognized by governments, some not. Some used terrorism. So that is why her father says: they are all terrorists. Some demands were legal and just. But not to take any chances, they were all considered terrorist groups by the apartheid government. Especially if they had any communist members. There was no country in Africa where the communists didn't use terrorism.
John Saxbury
Zelda is very cute. She has given me a woody.
As a black man this should be a big lesson to white people that blacks never hate the white, in fact blacks in Africa never minded if white lived among them, but the brutality of the whites prompted the blacks to react some in a violent way some very brutal as well which is totally wrong as well, but deep into blacks man heart in Africa has no problem with whites at all. But i am surprise that up till now racism still exists in Europe, America and else where blacks are still being regard as some thing not normal humans. If only people could be humble and be honest with themselves and said yes i was a racist but i am making progress the world will be a better place. And i am watching to see how many people would comment on this conversation and how many would be in denial!
arapikos
As I have said once before with the Donald Sterling $2 billion sale for a $12.5 million investment. This woman spends time with a great man–being a racist–now, she too will make $ millions from her book. Meaning, there is a fundamental motivation for some people to be a racists–then confess to being one and make millions. As an American, you are correct–we too have not malice towards our whites–but some act in a very "caveman" like manner. Consequently, we must protect ourselves and many times we self-inflict our own people–as if, they are the "root cause(s)" of our quality of life....
Brian Little
Why are you completely ignoring the constant acts against white farmers in South Africa? Or the reverse racism occuring in white countries? There are attacks on whites everyday.
4 million whites were driven from Africa from 1950 – 1990. Their farms seized, their businesses seized. Don't get crazy. Those new black dictatorships for life governments butchered millions of their own people. Nationalized everything European.
Nancy McIntyre
I enjoyed reading this very much! It is exactly what I crave and I savoured every little vowel. Please. sir, may I have some more? 🙂
Sipho
BlAcls were never in concentration camps, the new generation of south African black youth are bigger racists than the whites were
Nelson became the father of our nation through respect not through crony democracy
Madiba....there is no way anybody could live with him and not get an epiphany. That's my definition of greatness. Great read...wish I could have more!
Ihave never commented. This is disgusting lie she is out here involving a journalist we most listen to for her own interest , proof from the story using her own quotes as follow,
lets not forget this was when she was in the pool 1990 and she got the job in 1994 and now the lie come, she new this man by her confession quote
“He was kind. He smiled. He extended his hand, and he spoke to me in my own language. He spoke to me in Afrikaans. And that is the last thing you expect of him, because I was brought up to fear this man.” well Anampour please do your research well this is very disturbing since we really on your journalism
Lena, do you understand context?
At the time of his release she did not know who he was.
europian
I lived in south afrika for couple of years and even the blacks were telling me that during the apartheid life was better.
I also have to say that the Afrikaners are the worst people I have ever meet.
In what way are the Afrikaners the worst people you have met?
How many did you meet and really spend time with?
It is so easy and lazy to generalize.
The fact that I did not met a dissent one, say it all.
They are lying, cheating, stilling and they are not afraid to admitted.
I was trying to explain it with the fact that they lost their country, but talking to other withes I understood that they were always like that.
Now because there is no plaice for withe people in south Africa they are particularly angry and unlike other whites how have a second passport, they fill desperate.
Unfortunately with every white that lives the country 10 blacks lose their job.
Now because there is no plaice for withe people in south Africa they are particularly angry and unlike other whites who have a second passport, they fill desperate.
Then you really havent met many people have you. What an idiotic statement. Please do not come back to my country.
No I won't come back it is the most dangerous plaice on earth.
I'm sure you write from somewhere else because all Afrikaans have or desperately trying to emigrate,
and don't upset I'm just stating the facts.
You know the first thing that they told me when I arrived in S.A. was – don't give money to the Afrikaans you won't see them again, but I mast to admit that without you S.A. would be another banana republic.
Europian – you are indeed a strange person – I do not even want to address your comments as they stand as pure drivel among a number of other rather interesting discussion points raised by others posting here
Steve, New York City
Brian Little - well said (regarding Europian's infantile comments).
I thought that Zelda's story was uplifting.
geo80
I thought Zelda being “brought up (to fear this man)” was key.…She may have only known this “terrorist” figure her father would refer to, not by his name, but as a faceless figure her father feared/loathed while growing up... but by '94, the name and face were “connected” and she was speaking in the present when she said she “was brought up to fear this man.” I found the article to be inspiring, a testament to how Nelson Mandela was able to so profoundly affect the people around him and in so many different ways.
Her name is Zelda Le Grange (not La Grange) as indicated by CNN, both on TV and here.
I too was lucky enough to meet Madiba in '95 or '96 when he was on a state visit to Botswana, and experienced a similar epiphany... He was that kind of man...
I visited SA last year and my tasks required me to go all over the country and eat in many different restuarants. I was warned where not to travel to at nights and I could see the the blacks were less than happy overall. For the most part they were wait staff and did the menial jobs. To me apartheid is alive and well inspite of the laws on the books.
great story. it shows how far the world has come from, on the rights of women, the blacks, etc. A lot still to be done on the rights of gays, on feedom of religion, etc.
carmentosca
Wow..amazing how people have opinions of something they don't know anything of... Her (real) name is actually Zelda La Gransie – she changed it because English people can't pronounce it and now they don't say La Grange correct either... I know her personally and there are still millions of very happy and decent and wonderful people in South Africa "europian"... none of us "trying" to emigrate. I can go and live anywhere in the world (and I have lived many different countries), but I choose South Africa.
Tanko – I appreciate your comment... as my own father and his parents and brother had to flee the Congo in 1962...they lost everything there, he was born there, they grew up with all the other blacks...yet the same ones tried to kill them. But I do understand what you are saying and that war is still going on...
John Saxbury, she is quite. My brother was the lucky guy she mentions on page 273, 274 of her book. 😉
Love to you all. That was Mandela's core message he lived for the last years of his life.
gahh
Good for her.
It is quite clear that she was sent to Mandela's office as a spy by the whites – her father and his folks. Its like Saul the Christian prosecutor from the bible getting arrested by the Holy spirit and converted to Paul. God did a wonderful job in her life.
And now she likes nothing more than a BBC and a creampie shoved up her twitching 'conscience'.
So she was brought up to fear this man, but had never heard of him? Something sounds fishy.
gmichael52
Next up- a gay white guy will come out of the closet and disclose he was a racist- all at the same time.
Next up- a gay white actor who is on a career downfall will come out of the closet and disclose that he was a racist- all at the same time.
dan crabter
without whites there would be no south africa..period.. as whites civilized this part of africa...just look around at any other part of africa that is black controlled and you have your answer on what whites contributred in africa..South africa once again now stands at the precipt of failure once again with blacks rueling this country...crime off the charts no jobs no work..Again as in any modern culture that is sucessful whites are behind that sucess...you can fantazize all you waht on the black acheivements...but sadly you only lie to yourself..
Your pretty pathetic, if you don't want to believe apartheid and European colonisation has has and still does have a horrible effect on Africa. But if you want to believe your stupid white man rides in and saves the people story then go ahead we will not be losing any sleep
"dan crabter", you are what I call a typical educated white man – in other words, a productive robot lacking natural intelligence, virtue... as a result of ignorance. Look at what the Europeans did to Nigeria. They came in and bundled everyone together as one country and no one is progressing anymore. The first known genocide after WW2 was committed by Nigerian forces and Harold Wilson's UK government against the Biafran's (who wanted to secede and become better than your apartheid white South Africa) all in the name of greed and oil. Look at that region call Nigeria... everything has fallen apart.
We don’t need to go far. If I and you were to be cast away alone in a no man's land, as an African, I will do better than you in all areas.
Picasso copied African arts and now Picasso’s works are worth millions while original art works from Africa is worth nothing.
If you want to be an Analyst, you should start by learning what a ‘root cause analysis’ is.
Love Chi
well said Chi, i have been lacking words for this diseas for a long time now, you just help me thanks you, I love your wording
Open an economic textbook and check the colonies of Europe. CHECK IT! See why Rhodesia was called the star of Africa and why it alone fed almost the entire Africa: 350 million people. Today it is on $100m UN food aid or 2 million starve. South Africa had the 9th largest stock exchange in the world. Reflect upon that!
And while you are at it, read up on the 1927 visit of Nelson Mandela's ANC to their best friend Josef Stalin and why the USSR was considered heaven on earth!
"Nasdaq7", you are still a school boy! Just to let you know, I once told a lecturer during my first year at the university that a sociology textbook they recommended to my class did not reflect social behaviour in Africa – so I was not going to attend the class. You know why? Because I stopped thinking like a school boy even before I left school. If you want to know what happened to Zimbabwe, ask Tony Blair what happened to the UK and Zimbabwe subsidy agreement.
Wonderful story! Thank you!
I enjoyed reading this. Thank you for posting.
Tizzle
So the president of Iran is learning history of South Africa from a lady who didn't know who Nelson Mandela was when he was released? K.
I can see there is a great reluctance to talk about the Cold War, about the US / USSR actions inside Africa, and the reasons why apartheid lasted so long. It's unbelievable: as if the USSR wasn't spending 35% of its defense budget fighting South Africa by 1986. What is this? Why is this? Who cared about Mandela and apartheid? When millions were dying inside Africa, and South Africa's forces were trying 100% to save those people and the complete collapse of Western civilization and capitalism in Africa.
tim greenlee
the live of one man is not enought to want to know the life of a country raceism raceism is in all of us even tö the point of jokes but let no one declare his less of raceism less of mine. for there is only one rule and that is fair play something that many has yet to learn in thire day by day living with others.to the fools who has read nothing and know nothing. the woman tóf the black slash movement is a good place to start if one wishes to see apartheid and its begains . there is still many goods humans being around i biing black and many of the others being white of whatever the color history is the past and the fools who want to say who did and who did not to others as they would to themself.we all know how bad the past has been for many others and some even knows what it has been to themself that is what i dont understand he still wnts to hurt the next man
tonycayman
"I didn't know who he was" she says and then later says "I was brought up to fear this man" She really is stupid when she contradicts herself in mid conversation. #fail #publicity seeker.

**5 Star REVIEW~~"CAPTAIN NO BEARD"~Award Winning author CAROLE P. ROMAN**

http://www.facebook.com/cnbbook
"ENTERTAINING, FUN-FILLED, AND EDUCATIONAL!"
Captain No Beard enjoyed living on an island with his mates. After all, they were also his friends, and after a while, he treated them like family. Mongo, Linus, Fribbit, and Hallie were a fine crew. Each crew member had a special quality about them, and they were all willing to learn from their great leader, Captain No Beard, who considered his job to be hard work. Mongo was a pro at climbing, Linus was their automatic microphone with his loud roars, Fribbit loved to flop, and Hallie was a fine first mate.
A scary storm began to brew with loud thunder, and everyone aboard pitched in to help Captain No Beard make sure all was safe. He rescued Hallie, commanded directions to keep a clean ship, and delivered the right answers in his best pirate voice.
Suddenly, a voice was heard from the mysterious sea, and a mermaid appeared with yummy treasure. Captain No Beard reminded Alexander to clean up the mess, before enjoying the golden treats.
Award Winning author Carole P. Roman delivers an exciting, appealing story to young readers, that is not only funny, but educational as well. Through her creative imagination, the author pens a magical, delightful adventure with colorful characters as the story comes to life. The stunning illustrations are inviting as they compliment this fun-filled adventure aboard the Flying Dragon, while sailing across deep, dark seas. Children will become curious as they ask questions, while learning lessons about teamwork, and responsibility. In addition, this charming story also encourages young readers to practice reading skills, as well as participating in group discussions. "CAPTAIN NO BEARD:An Imaginary Tale Of A Pirate's Life" is as heartwarming as Free Willy 3, as hilarious as Shrek The Third, and as entertaining as The Lion King. Highly recommended to teachers, parents, and child-care providers!

5 Star REVIEW~~**THE MYSTERY OF WHALE HOUSE"~Author/Illustrator HENDRIK VAN OORDT**
http://www.gypsyshadow.com
http://www.bol.com
~~Genre: Young Adult Adventure
"MYSTERIOUS, THRILLING, AND ENTERTAINING!"
Hendrik Van Oordt, author of nine books and illustrator, delivers a mysterious adventure that entertains, from beginning to end. Three young teenagers are sent off to live on an Island with their aunt and uncle, while their parents deal with moving. Frank, Dana, and Martin were not happy about the decision, or getting adjusted to a complete different lifestyle. To make matters worse, they found nothing that interested them to grab their attention, until they heard rumors about 'Whale House.'
They became curious to find out if the story they heard had any truth to it, anxious to see a mad woman and her son in the huge Gothic house, when a sudden storm began to brew, and the children wind up inside the creepy monstrosity. Frank, Dana, and Martin had no idea what they were in for, after discovering a hidden secret.
The children must embark on a quest as they face many challenges in order to escape, but will they survive, and be set free? The story is mysterious, exciting, and suspenseful as the colorful characters come to life. "THE MYSTERY OF WHALE HOUSE" is as captivating as The Goonies, as thrilling as The Monster Squad, and as entertaining as The Lost Boys. Enjoyable, and highly recommended to young adults!

~~"TAMING JENNA"
Genre: Western Historical Romance
Charlene Raddon likes to say that she began her fiction career in the third grade, when she announced in Show & Tell that a baby sister she never had was killed by a black widow spider. She often penned stories, featuring mistreated young girls, whose mother was accused of crimes that her sister had actually committed. Those were mostly therapeutic exercises.
Her first serious attempt at writing fiction came in 1980, when she woke from a vivid dream, that compelled her to drag out a typewriter, and begin writing. An early love for romance novels and the Wild West, led her to choose the historical romance genre, but she also writes contemporary romance. At present, she has 5 books published in paperback by Kensington Books(one under the pseudonym Rachel Summers), and the same 5 digitally published by Tirgearr Publishing.
THE WRONG MAN
Deserted by her father at the age of 7, Jenna Leigh-Whittington had taught herself to ride, shoot, brawl and steer clear of the opposite sex. But now, in a lonely Utah canyon, the Pinkerton agent has drawn her gun on a rugged stranger, only to discover that far from the dangerous outlaw she'd been tracking. He is Branch McCauley, hired gun, and the most irresistible rascal ever to tempt, and torment a woman!
THE RIGHT WOMAN
If there's one thing that McCauley trusts less than a female, it's a female, who packs a six-gun. But what a woman! Vowing to bring the sensuous hellcat to heel, McCauley has no inkling that their passionate battle of wills has just begun. "TAMING JENNA" will be the most seductive and satisfying job he has ever taken on...

170: Corey Klassen & Judith Neary- CEU: Beyond Design- Establishing Monetary Value for Creative Skills 0
Today’s show features, Corey Klassen and Judith Neary. While there’s a host of topics we could talk to them about, today we are focusing our conversation on the new CEU that they have created. There is so much value in their CEU. Judith is a certified bath and kitchen designer, and she moved to the manufacturing side and now works on implementing business processes. She offers a comprehensive designers perspective as a consultant and she's known for doing weird really well!
Corey is also a certified bath and kitchen designer, and a Certified Designer with experience in commercial and residential design. He opened his own firm in 2011 and has won many awards and been featured in many design magazines. He teaches and continues to expand his professional credentials. He is known for creating symmetry in awkward spaces.
Together, Judith and Corey co-lecture all across the US and teach designers about the business of design. This led to the creation of their new CEU.
In this episode Corey and Judith discuss:
How My Doma Studio plays a role in the new CEU course.
Learn what a “psychographic” is and why it matters to Corey.
Why Judith does weird so very well.
Find out how hard it is to make your kitchen match your aura!
The rules for designers are different since the recession.
Learn how Judith and Corey met and teamed up!
Corey and Judith are polar opposites - and it works!
The process of working through psychographics.
There’s an art in knowing when to refer someone out - learn it today.

Not sure if the CEU course is right for you? Here’s a detailed description:
Beyond Design: Establishing Monetary Value for Creative Skills
Judith and I have co-authored a 2hr CEU that is IDCEC Approved and has been presented at the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (in current format) this year with sold-out attendance. We're already scheduled for 2018. Previous formats have been sold-out at KBIS 2015, 2016 and IDS Vancouver 2014.
So, what is this? The start of the course came out of personal and professional challenges that Judith and I have separately had with the ever-changing market of clients who shop online, watch media shows, read mommy-blogs and thing they can do it all for a shoe-string budget.
Why this course? Interior design education is really great at teaching the basics of business and excels at creativity, but if the business is 80% and creativity is 20% we really have our shirts on backwards.
Why now? Personally, after I was apart of the DXV Design Panel in 2014, my business went from a home office to taking over my home, adding and employee, and now in a studio location with a Team. I when to show much incredible professional growth that I've nearly thrown in the towel a few times, but if I love what I do I had to find a way to do what I love.
I'm sure Judith will have more to contribute, and I'm sure I'll run down the road and leave her at the stop sign too, but we're really excited to talk about why running a scalable business is achievable with a solid plan (or without one...) I truly admire Judith and her skills, she has been such a great friend, co-conspirator, and advisor to me and I'm sure she has her shared values about me.

168: Power Talk Friday - LuAnn Nigara- The Things I Learned From A Well-Designed Business- Part 2 of Design Bloggers Conference Presentation 0
In today's Power Talk Friday, I'll continue with the second half of the Design Bloggers Conference Summary series. I'm covering the top lessons that I've learned through podcasting about interior design. Last week, we went over the first three lessons #165.
The other shows include Claire Staszak and Kelsey Grose this past Monday and Wednesday and this coming Monday will be Amber Lewis. All 3 interviews had some terrific advice for design blogging as well as running your firm and building an audience on Instagram. Three truly smart ladies! Today, we'll cover the rest. Join me now with The Things I Learned From A Well Designed Business Part 2!
Be Do Have – Have Do Be
#141 Jim Riviello says that we need to change our way of thinking about things in order to be successful. Jim, a business coach and the owner of Leadership X University, explains that we need to Be-Do-Have, not Have-Do-Be. In today's show, I will clarify this powerful explanation.
#21 Stacy Garcia took a leap of faith and decided to invest in vintage wallpaper and fabric as a starting point for creating a new textile line for the hospitality industry.
No Pipeline
#55 Rachel Moriaty heard about Facebook Live and the rest is history.
24 hours to decide
#128 Grace McNamara was an Advertising Director, thirty-one years old and with no idea of how to run a magazine, was given 24 hours in which to decide if she would buy two magazines. Despite huge fears, she jumped into it and became an entrepreneur and a magazine publisher.
Sarah Daniele came up with an idea and turned it into a software program.
#79 Anna Brockway-Chairish saw a need in the marketplace and built a huge company, filling a gap in services.
#85 Heather and Mark used tech to offer truly professional Interior Design at a level of excellence, affordable for the masses. Nous Decor was born- however, in running Nous Decor, she has another business- how to scale Nous Decor.
Interior Design Is A Business First
#112 and #144 Kimberly Seldon- Business of Design. Flat fees, Scope Creep, Trade Days, Fifteen steps to running a profitable project...and the list goes on.
#2 and #Sandra Funk House Of Funk
#36 Susan Brunstrum
#24 #45 #60 #81 #150 Krista Coupar
How to bill out using hourly fees.
Managing work-life balance from a financial perspective.
Build your story and your brand.
Things to look at when planning your new work year.
#71 Dr. Ellen Fischer- Ellen cautions us about the main reasons that Interior Designers have trouble being profitable:
Undervaluing your time.
Not charging for the hours you work.
Not recognizing how to keep your pipeline filled.
Not placing enough emphasis on marketing.
Ellen's advice to new graduates:
Stay connected to the passion that brought you to the field throughout your career, not just in the beginning.
Be prepared for hard work. The business of interior design is tough and while outsiders may not recognize it, it is truly as hard as any other career.
Ellen's advice when hiring interns and junior designers for your firm:
Set tangible goals and objectives for the tenure.
Teach, train, monitor and evaluate performance.
“Fuzzy objectives = Fuzzy experience.”
#6 Erika Ward- Erika attributes her success to her expertise and knowledge in Business Management. She advises:
Educate yourself about Business Management.
Do everything you can to broaden and enhance your business acumen.
This will ensure a proper foundation for a profitable business, allowing you to explore your talent, create fantastic spaces for your clients and explode your Interior Design business.

Home → Petanque → Famous Players
You’re not alone: many famous people like Pétanque!
Reprinted (2012) with the generous permission of Stephan Soilleux, President of the Jupiter Petanque Club of Jupiter, Florida.
Mick Jagger once won $19,000.00 challenging a couple of his countrymen to a game of petanque while in Cannes. They had completely underestimated his skills.
One of the first orders, in 1991, to petanque america.com came from David Lee Roth, of “Van Halen” fame. He had discovered the game
while vacationing in French Polynesia.
Morley Safer (“60 Minutes”) is an avid player, who once wrote an entire New York Times Magazine article about petanque (and the appropriate dishes to go along with it). Now he plays with famous chef Jacques Pepin.
Brigitte Bardot at St Tropez
Johnny Depp plays at le boulodrome du Plan de la Tour when in France. His partner Vanessa Paradis also plays occasionally.
Karl Lagerfeld organized a Chanel Petanque Party in May 2010 place des lices at St Tropez.
Johnny Depp‘s partner french actress and singer Vanessa Paradis also plays petanque occasionally at St tropez.
Actor Joshua Jackson has the right throw.
Actress Sophia Loren and Carlo Ponti in St Tropez 1958.
Peter Gabriel – remember “Genesis” ? There’s a movie called “Family Portrait” about his 2002-2003 tour with David Rhodes, Tony Levin, Ged Lynch and others, during which they spend a great deal of time playing petanque.
French actor singer Yves Montand played regurarly at St Paul de Vence
Diane Kruger at Chanel Petanque Day
Diedrich Bader: better known as Oswald, on the Drew Carey Show. Perhaps the fact that he grew up in Paris has something to do with his love for petanque!
Governor Bob Taft of Ohio really enjoys playing petanque with his friends and guests.
The famous singer, Henri Salvador, playing in the Doublette, place des Invalides in Paris back in 2001.
Many thanks, especially to the following contributors: Stephan Soilleux, President of the Jupiter Petanque Club of Jupiter, Florida; Philippe Boets (Petanqueamerica.com); Tamara Meert (B); Jac Verheul (NL); Frank Pipal (USA); Henrik Egede Hansen (DK); Jan Toulon (USA); Stacey Drucker (USA)

Zeroing in on Therapies at the California Stem Cell Agency
BURLINGAME, Ca. -- Directors of the California stem cell agency today mulled over a recommendation that they focus intensely on a handful of research projects that are most likely to result in commercializing a stem cell therapy.
No decisions were made, but directors raised questions about whether such a move would mean a reduction of funding for other research efforts or affect other projects in a negative way.
The recommendation and others came from agency's new scientific advisory board(SAB), appointed by CIRM President Alan Trounson at the behest of an Institute of Medicine study. The agency received the panel's report only on Monday and cobbled together staff responses for today's directors' meeting.
The SAB proposals were bad news for the agency's shared labs program, which costs CIRM $7.5 million a year and is set to expire in 2014. The panel recommended an end to the program after that date. CIRM agency staff agreed, declaring that the original rationale was no longer valid and that the program could be wrapped into the recipient institutions' budgets, if they wished to continue with it.
The SAB, which has only one California member, said the stem cell agency should focus on six to eight projects that would lead to early stage clinical trials involving safety and proof of concept(stage one and 2A).
Discussion of the plan came after Ellen Feigal, senior vice president for research and development, briefed the directors on 70 agency grants that are moving well along the clinical development pathway. She told them, however,
“We are not going to take 70 projects forward.”
The agency currently has $600 million in uncommitted funds after handing out $1.9 billion over the last nine years. However, it could come up with more funds if it decided to “uncommit” some grant rounds conceptually approved but for which applications have not been solicited. CIRM is scheduled to run out of cash for new grants in 2017.
Feigal said that the SAB proposal could have “downstream implications” if extra money is required to intensify efforts on six to eight projects. However, she also said the agency could simply provide an “expedited pathway.”
CIRM Director Sherry Lansing noted that the agency is “trying desperately to get a win.” She suggested putting out a “do-you-need-help” RFA which would target applicants that have well-developed projects that could be moved ahead rapidly with some cash.
Director Jeff Sheehy said the agency needs to “talk about sustaining what we have built.” He said,
“It is not like our folks are going to graduate from our funding to NIH funding.”
The NIH is already suffering from a major cash crunch.
The recommendations from the SAB and staff reaction will be heard by the directors' Science Subcommittee, chaired by Sheehy, before the directors' December meeting. The December meeting is also expected to include a briefing on a proposal for creation of a “strategic roadmap” for future CIRM funding.
Here is the Power Point summary of the recommendations and staff responses. We have asked the agency for a copy of the original document from the SAB.

Breaking Alcohol Dependence among Elderly thru Counselling
Alcohol dependence and related problems is increasing in United Kingdom, costing the country at least £20 billion each year, says a report from NHS.
Said research pointed out that staggering 17 million working days have been lost because of absenteeism due to hangovers and ailments brought by alcoholism among employees and workers. On the report from Daily Mail Reporter posted recently, “One in 26 “bed days” in the NHS is taken up by alcohol-related illness… with an annual cost to the taxpayer of £1.7 billion. The cost of clearing up alcohol-related crime is a further £7.3 billion a year.”
Alcohol Dependence among the Elderly
Alcohol dependence among youth is not a new issue. But what is disturbing is that more and more elderly people are getting hooked by drinking alcohol. This alarming condition is not only becoming detrimental to UK’s economy but also to the people’s health. These people, who used to spend their days at home drinking their favourite wine and liquor are so called the “invisible addicts”, said the Royal College of Psychiatrist. According to the said organisation, individuals at the age of 65 years and above should only consume a maximum of 1.5 units of alcohol each day which is tantamount to over a half pint of beer or small glass of wine.
What are The Risks of Alcohol to Aged People?
Scientifically speaking, the body tends to react poorly towards chemicals and other substances as an individual gets older. This is the most probable reason why the elderly are no longer advised to drink alcohol more than their body can tolerate. Such problem is aggravated by use of too much medications (and misuse) that they take as part of their declining health conditions. Basically, not all medications especially common drugs taken by these people react positively to the alcohol. Such chemical reactions only lead to worsening conditions and more health problems.
Breaking Alcohol Dependence thru Counselling
The best way to treat any addiction problem is to find out the root cause/s why people indulge in such vice. Many experts suggest that reasons why people who experience alcohol abuse and dependence later in their life may be accounted to depression about retirement, children moving from them, bereavement, boredom, and severe feelings of loneliness.
Perhaps the easiest way to help them go through this impassable stage of life is to talk to them and help them realize that life is a matter of achievements and at the same time, losses. The case study of Royal College of Psychiatrist calls on the need for the British Government to establish programs such as health campaigns that will help old people reduce and finally eliminate their dependence to alcohol. Counselling practitioners or GPs then have crucial role in helping out these people. Through counselling, elderly will be taught to set their limits to 1.5 units of alcohol per week.
Support from people around them- most importantly their families is also indispensable in this movement against alcohol dependence. If there are people that these “invisible addicts” will turn to first, it would be their families.

Radio-controlled Race Cars And Racing
Sprint Electric RC Cars
There are many kinds of cars in the real world: Sedans, Safaris, SUVs, Formula One cars. So, their imitating radio controlled cars also have all those kinds. While a touring Electric RC Car is the most popular one, the Electric RC Sprint Car is no doubt the strangest of the bunch.
Real Sprint Cars are small light weight high powered cars designed for very fast racing at more than 200 kmph. These cars have a very high power to weight ratio or, in other words, they are relatively very light for the speeds given by them. Being very fast, they use cage like metal structure mounted on top for safety of drivers, in case of overturning, rolling during high speed racing.
Being very light, to increase tire friction and to prevent easy hopping off the track/ ground, a wing typically made of aluminium is mounted on top in the centre, which increases the downward thrust while racing. Electric RC Sprint Cars also imitate their real counterparts, point for point, with only lesser speed but same design.
Due to the very high speeds, these are popular for training of NASCAR (National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing) drivers. Indeed, these are designed primarily for racing on dirty tracks in short stretches. Likewise, Electric RC Sprint Cars can also be used for rough training on dirty bumpy tracks.
The typical features of an Electric RC Sprint Cars are as follows:
1. Lightweight carbon-composite chassis.
2. Location of Motor at the centre of chassis for equal weight distribution.
3. Aluminium alloy roll cage.
4. Aluminium side guards and bumpers.
5. Adjustable aluminium wing mounted on top and with side wings to help turning.
One can even find wingless sprint cars. The popularity of sprint cars led to the formation of the ‘World of Outlaws’ sprint series. It is then little wonder that Electric RC Sprint Cars also have devoted fans, who adore them for the sheer pumping of adrenaline. Go Sprinting Now!
Electric RC Car Racing
Learn About Electric RC Car Racing Clubs, Types, And Organizations.
To the uninitiated, it may seem astonishing to find the race tracks, the crowds, well organized races, rules and regulations, even regulatory bodies, all for racing toy-like miniatures/ model cars.
The model RC cars may look small, but are no less ferocious than their real counterparts once they begin to race. The fact that the present world record for RC car racing is at 178 kmph would testify it.
The beauty of Electric RC cars is their neat, quieter working on tracks, though not at speeds comparable to the highest in fuel (Nitro/ Gas) RC cars.
There are different types of cars to race and as well as different models and scales (scale is a fractional ratio of a model against its original counterpart). Also, there can be on-road or off-road races. Electric RC cars compete mainly in 1/10th and 1/12th scales, mostly on-road.
There are Electric RC Car Racing Clubs and online forums, for support, community development, interaction and exchange of information. In many American, European and Asian countries there are official national RC racing associations/regulatory bodies which in turn control local regional racing organizations for fair play.
There is also a world level RC Car Racing body called IFMAR (International Federation of Model Auto Racing), in which the following four regional blocks of RC car racing are members.
1. EFRA (European Federation of Radio-Operated Model Automobiles): It has approximately 30 European nations, including Russia, as members.
2. FAMAR (Fourth Association of Model Auto Racing): An association of half a dozen Latin American nations and South Africa.
3. FEMCA (Far East Model Car Association): It represents some ten Asian countries, including China, as well as Australia and New Zealand.
4. ROAR (Remotely Operated Auto Racers): An apex body of the USA’s and Canada’s Racing organizations.
Every year many International Racing Events are held for RC cars. They have separate races for Fuel/ Nitro/ Gas/ Internal Combustion RC Cars as well as Electric RC cars. Racers selected by national bodies will participate in these full-fledged international events like any other sport.
No wonder, Electric RC Car Racing is a very exciting, thriving, well-organized hobby sport. It’s economical too! Buy one, join now in your local club, and enjoy!
Gas RC Race Cars
Not All Gas Cars Are Equal. Discover The Real Racers!
Any Nitro RC car that can be raced is a Gas RC Car. Here are some examples: Gas RC Zs and Ts, Gas SUVs, Gas Hummers, Gas Buggies, Gas Off-Road Trucks, Gas Mini RC Cars, Gas F1 type Racers, Gas RC Tour Cars. Only Touring Gas RC cars, Formula One Gas RC cars, and Off-Road Gas Buggies are real racecars. The Touring and Formula One Gas RC cars have a small rear wing that provides increased grip to the ground while racing. Most of the time, they have four-wheel drive with high friction, soft rubber tires like their real counterparts.

Wild Pink
Yolk in the Fur
Label: Tiny Engines
Reviewed by MH on Aug 1, 2018
I'd kind of forgotten how much I liked Wild Pink's first album when this one came in - too much other stuff keeping me preoccupied and forgetting to listen to music. If I hadn't moved to the other side of the world I'd have gone to see them with Ratboys on their recent UK tour but alas. This new one is perhaps a little more polished than the first record and shows more restraint and a calmness throughout. The opening track "Burger Hill" is superb - almost cinematic in its lyrics and the images it evokes. Right through this album Wild Pink have perfected the art of wistfulness and the vocals and lyrics often feel like they're holding something back (see "Lake Erie" early on in the record for starters). The sound is cleaner than before - there are lovely fingerpicked guitar lines running through many of the tracks and I feel like I could talk about every song on here (particularly the first half) as it's been on constant repeat since it came in last week. "Jewels Drossed in the Runoff" is majestic and soaring but the whole thing is stellar.
