The Oregon Ducks have a growing tradition at center with multi-year starters. The last few have been exceedingly good, with Seattle Seahawk Max Unger then four-year starter Jordan Holmes and now Hroniss Grasu, a starter since his freshman year. Now they are hoping Jesuit high school standout Doug Brenner will be the next one in line.Veteran Oregon offensive line coach Steve Greawood recruited them all, and certainly thinks Brenner has a chance to be that person."I'm excited about Doug," said Greatwood. "Doug was a tight end for Jesuit high school. He came down to our camp last year and he wanted to go over and work with the tight ends. I looked at him and said 'Doug, if you're planning to get a scholarship here at Oregon, you need to come here with me instead of Coach Osborne.'" ...More...

Though not democratically elected, Pinchback was the first US governor of African descent. Not until nearly 120 years had passed would the next black governor, L. Douglas Wilder, take office.
"Pinchback's presence in the United States Senate is not open to the smallest objection, except the old Bourbon war-whoops of color. He is about thirty-seven years of age, not darker than an Arab. His features are regular, just perceptibly African, his eyes intensely black and brilliant, with a keen, restless glance. His most repellent point is a sardonic smile which, hovering continuously over his lips, gives him an evil look, undeniably handsome as the man is. It seems as though the scorn which must rage within him, at sight of the dirty ignorant men from the South who affect to look down upon him on account of his color, finds play imperceptibly about his lips..." -- Washington correspondent, New York Commercial Advertiser

There is a biblical basis to the idea of the existence in man’s nature of an instinctive tendency or impulse (yeẓer as in Ps. 103:14 from yaẓar, i.e., to “form” or “create” as in Gen. 2:8), which, left to itself, would lead to his undoing by prompting him to act in a manner contrary to the will of God (whence the term yeẓer ha-ra or “inclination to evil”). Thus, in Genesis 5 it is stated that “every inclination of the thoughts of his – i.e., man’s – heart is only evil continually” and again in Genesis 8:21 “for the inclination of man’s heart is evil from his youth.”
The doctrine of the two inclinations (or drives) is a major feature of rabbinic psychology and anthropology. As a personification of the permanent dualism of the choice between good and evil, the rabbinic notion of the two inclinations shifts this dualism from a metaphysical to a more psychological level (i.e., two tendencies in man rather than two cosmic principles). According to the rabbis, man was created with two opposing inclinations or tendencies, one impelling him toward the good and the other toward evil. This, in their opinion, was indicated by the employment in the term Vayyiẓer used in regard to man’s creation in Genesis 2:7, of two yods (Ber. 61a).
However, even the so-called yeẓer ha-ra, which corresponds roughly to man’s untamed natural (and especially sexual) appetites or passions, is not intrinsically evil and, therefore, not to be completely suppressed. Without it, a human being would never marry, beget children, build a house, or engage in trade (Gen. R. 9:7). It is only when it gets out of hand that it becomes the cause of harm. An effective antidote is the study and observance of Torah (cf. Kid. 30b). This would suggest that the Torah is conceived as an ordering, guiding, and disciplining principle with regard to the untamed natural urges. While the yeẓer ha-ra is created in man at birth, the yeẓer ha-tov, which combats it, first makes its appearance 13 years later at the time of his *bar-mitzvah, i.e., when one assumes the “Yoke of the Torah” and with the onset of the age of reflection and reason (cf. Eccles. R., 4:13, 1).
Unless it is checked and controlled, the yeẓer ha-ra will grow like habit. At first it resembles the thread of a spider’s web but at the end it is like the stout rope of a wagon (Suk. 52a). Another parable describing the yeẓer ha-ra is that of a wayfarer who starts out by being taken in as a guest and ends by making himself the master of the house (ibid. 52b). Greatness does not necessarily render a human being immune from the power of the yeẓer ha-ra, which manifests itself in such traits as vindictiveness and avarice (Sif. Deut. 33), anger (Shab. 105b), and vanity (Gen. R. 22:6). In fact, the greater the man, the stronger are such tendencies apt to be in him. The yeẓer ha-ra operates only in this world. It does not exist in angels or other spiritual beings (Lev. R. 26:5). “In the world to come,” said the amora *Rav, “there is no eating or drinking, procreation or barter, envy or hate” (Ber. 17a). The yeẓer ha-ra has been personified by being identified with Satan, man’s tempter in this world and his accuser in the world to come, and also with the Angel of Death (BB 16a; cf. Suk. 52b). In Genesis (3:1ff.) the serpent is presented as man’s tempter. Whether the devil, Sammael, merely employed the serpent as an instrument of himself assumed the form of a serpent is not clear from the text of the Greek Apocalypse of Baruch.
[Samuel Rosenblatt]
In Jewish Thought
Discussions of the two human inclinations, good and evil, constitute an integral part of theories of the soul in Jewish thought. At the same time, the fact that these aspects of the soul are called by value-laden names, “good inclination” and “evil inclination,” frequently transforms a theoretical discussion into practical guidance regarding the proper behavior required to suppress the evil inclination as much as possible and to enable the good inclination to control it. Such practical guidance often forces the thinker to treat a related problem of theodicy: How can one explain the fact that God, who is good, implanted the harmful, evil inclination in the human being?
Maimonides integrated the “good inclination” and “evil inclination” in his Aristotelian theory of the soul. In accordance with his conception of the ultimate human good in terms of intellectual actualization, Maimonides identified the good inclination with the acquired human intellect (Guide 3:22), which in turn is identical with the “image (ẓelem) of God” (Guide 1:2). Conversely, the evil inclination is identified with the imaginative faculty common to humans and the higher animals (Guide 3:22), and which is responsible for both moral and epistemological harm. On the moral level, imagination leads people to follow their appetites, and on the epistemological level, it leads them to believe in the existence of impossible beings (Guide 2:12). Maimonides also presents the struggle among the faculties of the human soul in a manner consistent with an allegorical understanding of the three characters in the story of the garden of Eden: Adam represents intellect; Eve represents matter; and the serpent represents the evil inclination as embodied in imagination (Guide 1:2, 2:30).
Joseph *Albo, in his discussion of why the evil inclination is necessary, pointed out that without the appetitive nature of this faculty, which characterizes the animal soul, the human species would become extinct. Conversely, the good inclination, namely the rational soul, is the means of the individual’s attaining spiritual immortality (Book of Principles 2:13). Isaac *Arama explained the existence of the evil inclination in terms of providing a challenge, presenting the opportunity to perform an evil act. The evil inclination thereby leads a person to examine his or her actions, to discern good from evil, and to decide freely to do the good (Binding of Isaac, ch. 8).
In the Kabbalah, the evil inclination was understood in cosmic terms, as disturbing the harmony of the cosmos symbolized by the *sefirot Power (gevurah) and Kingdom (malkhut).

. Indeed, both on this blog and in my other critical writing,. | http://noggs.typepad.com/oncriticsandcriticism/2012/04/lost-in-translation.html | 2013-05-18T10:11:27 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
It should be clear to readers of this blog that music is extremely important to me — what with the fact that a whole two previous posts were tagged as having to do with music and they both consist entirely of context-free YouTube clips — and so nothing bothers me more than seeing it disrespected.
Of course, being human beings (and, more to the point, being Americans), disrespecting something is the first thing we do when money is involved, and compromising artistic integrity is a close second. Hence the use — or misuse, or abuse — of excellent songs in commercials that seem to be suspiciously engineered to retroactively drain respectability from anyone who ever enjoyed the songs therein.
Here are ten of the worst offenders that come to mind. Please feel free to leave more in the comments, so that I can become even more upset, and have another reason to stomp loudly in small circles around my house.
1) “Boom Boom,” John Lee Hooker, 1962. Ruined by Chili’s.
I won’t pretend to know what “Boom Boom” is about, if, of course, it’s about anything. But I will absolutely guarantee that it’s not about the mediocre defrosted dinner platters they serve at Chili’s for the scarily inexpensive price of $20 for two. To say that John Lee Hooker helped shape rock and roll is to sell him short. To say that John Lee Hooker was a blues guitar god is closer to the truth, but still not enough. “Boom Boom” has a lot of Hooker’s great musicianship on display, so much so that it’s really just an excuse to jam, but that doesn’t stop Chili’s from appropriating his signature “a-haw haw haw haw” to make it sound less like he’s lusting after the irresistible sexiness of a woman strutting past him in the bar and more like he’s craving some artless slab of heat-lamp meat. Cue inappropriately excitable solo, I guess.
2) “Bargain,” The Who, 1971. Ruined by Nissan.
I couldn’t find a video for this one, but you can reconstruct it in your mind: a 2000 Nissan Pathfinder drives through puddles and around a mountain while a great but irrelevant song plays behind it. Absolutely worth the money, Nissan, as you mean to assure us, I guess, that the sticker price of your forgettable SUV is “a bargain.” And not just any bargain, but the best bargain I’ve ever had! Well, I have no idea how much this particular gas guzzler sold for so I’m not sure it was cheap, but what they did to this song sure was. Pete Townshend has probably single-handedly written a larger number of truly brilliant spiritual rock songs than any other human being on the planet, and that’s due in part to the fact that he knows how to write them without tipping anyone off that they’re spiritual. That includes a huge number of his most popular songs, including “Baba O’Riley,” “Join Together,” “The Seeker,” and, yes, “Bargain.” What, you thought it was about love? Well, it was. It was about God’s love. And now it’s about the love of the warm engine of a sports utility vehicle. Looks like you lost that enlightenment before you ever knew you had it.
3) “Use Me,” Bill Withers, 1972. Ruined by Pringles.
This is actually the usage that inspired this article, as “Use Me” pleasantly surprised me on my iPod and I started wishing I could hear this song again without imagining a sentient pipe of Pringles singing it to me. Was this one really worth co-opting to advertise your pressed potato dust, guys? It’s a song sung by a guy who enjoys fucking his girlfriend so much that he doesn’t really care that she’s sapping the life out of him. Its porno thump adds an erotic emphasis to a tragic situation, and it’s eminently grooveable. So why did we need to stage a pool party where Mr. Pringles is the guest of honor, serenading his fans as they reach into his greasy hole for another helping? Bill Withers was an accomplished lyricist and a truly blessed musician. He crafted pop songs that revealed themselves layer by layer, and that easily hold up through the best that any subsequent generation has to offer. He married complex but engaging arrangements to unforgettable lyrical hooks, and tapped into emotions so simple that only the truly gifted songwriters could serviceably explore them. Also, a Pringles can is singing it in a pool. Because of course it fucking is.
4) “Revolution,” The Beatles, 1968. Ruined by Nike.
Okay, so “Use Me” might have been the first example of a great song ruined by commercial usage to come to mind for me, but for nearly everybody else who was alive to see it, this would be the headliner. I was too young to really understand The Beatles when this happened, and even I remember feeling dirty having watched it. “Revolution” is nowhere near the best that music’s most important band had to offer, but it was a pretty clear and concise statement on the part of John Lennon, a snarky and already fed-up “fuck you” to the still-burgeoning Woodstock generation. You want a revolution? Start one. Don’t talk about it, don’t fuck around, don’t sit in your mother’s basement all day smoking up. Get off your ass — or I guess he’d say arse — and do something. “Do something like buy some shoes?” Nike asked. Lennon, being long dead, hesitated to reply and that was confirmation enough for them. Yes, “Revolution” stands in stark contrast to his later love-in anthems “Give Peace a Chance” and “Imagine,” so I can understand that some listeners might come away from Lennon’s output with a muddled view of what the man actually wanted. Was he peacemaker or revolutionary? You’ll get a different answer depending upon which decade of his music you consult, but I think it’s safe to conclude that “shoe salesman” was never on his list.
5) “Like a Rock,” Bob Seger, 1986. Ruined by Chevrolet.
I could fill this article easily with automobile commercials alone, but there’s probably no more deserving representation than what Chevy did to Bob Seger’s “Like a Rock.” The song has been the theme song for Chevy’s truck commercials for more than a decade, and the title has become their slogan. In other words, this isn’t just the irrelevant score to some rolling footage…this is theirs now, so much so that you’re far more likely to encounter it on television than you are the radio. Which is a shame, because “Like a Rock” is actually a pretty great song, which I’m embarrassed to say because it’s difficult to disassociate it from its marketing purposes. Bob Seger built an entire career out of these nostalgic, looking-backward songs, including “Against the Wind,” “Night Moves,” “Still the Same,” and even the maddeningly shitty “Old Time Rock and Roll.” And they all seem to get used (and overused) in television shows, films, commercials, and anything else that seeks to tap into our nostalgic impulses for better days long gone. Bob Seger was making songs that felt old fashioned even when they were new. The problem was that he was good at it, and you can’t be good at anything for long without somebody stepping in for a cut. Bob Seger’s songs feel like quaint punchlines now, when they were once evocative of real memories, real feelings, and real emotion. Perhaps they should have been confined to classic rock radio, where they really belonged.
6) “I Melt With You,” Modern English, 1982. Ruined by Hershey’s.
This one might be a bit of a cheat as I don’t think I can call “I Melt With You” a great song and keep a straight face, but it’s certainly some sturdy, serviceable pop, and it has its charm and its appeal. It’s effortlessly fluffy and utterly hollow, but its “to hell with everything, we’ve got each other and we can do anything” moral is wish-fulfillment on a pretty universal scale, and I mean that as a compliment. Enter Hershey’s, who crafts the creepiest damn characters since Duracell’s Putterman family and asks these dripping humanoid chocolate monstrosities to sing “I Melt With You” as though that might be something even remotely pleasant for a creature made of candy to consider. Embedded above is the holiday variation of this commercial, with overdubbed sleighbells, in which the family is singing it together as a carol, just in case there was anyone out there who wasn’t totally convinced already that Hershey didn’t give a fuck what things it was cramming together in order to sell chocolate bars.
7) “Brown Sugar,” The Rolling Stones, 1971. Ruined by Pepsi.
The Rolling Stones are no strangers to having their songs reappropriated for marketing purposes, what with Microsoft Windows all too happy to suggest that their operating system is capable of making a dead man cum, but they’ve actually been pretty lucky overall. If I were making a list of good uses of great songs in commercials, for instance, I’d absolutely have to include Apple’s “She’s a Rainbow” ads, showcasing the amount of colors in which you could buy their products. It’s every bit as shallow in theory as anything else on this list, but in practice it was the perfect marriage of visual concept and aural emphasis. It was short, it was cute, it was bubbly, and it was fun. It was also, obviously, memorable. Unfortunately, so is this Pepsi commercial, in which a mosquito drinks some flat pop off a filthy counter and immediately starts singing about giving enthusiastic oral sex to a slutty black chick. “Wait,” says a voice from 1990-something. “Were we supposed to listen to these songs before or after we bought the rights to them?” But there is no reply, and he will never know.
8) “Lust For Life,” Iggy Pop, 1977. Ruined by Royal Caribbean.
Speaking of not listening to these songs, does Royal Caribbean really want people to associate it with “liquor and drugs” as a lifestyle choice? The commercial emphasizes the enormous variety of experiences you can have aboard their luxury liners, which is probably not something that will benefit passengers who spend the entire trip on the floor of their cabin with needles in their arms. In all seriousness, why would any company in their right mind, particularly one advertising family vacations, want to align themselves professionally with an overt paean to heroin addiction? The image of Iggy Pop shuffling shirtlessly across the shuffleboard deck and gyrating all up on grandma is likely to make people give up on cruises as vacation options altogether. Which, hey, isn’t actually such a bad thing. Gyrate on, Iggy Pop. Gyrate on.
9) “Gimme Some Money,” Spinal Tap, 1984. Ruined by American Express.
To this day I’m not sure that American Express is aware that this isn’t a real song. Or maybe I should say that Spinal Tap isn’t a real band. It’s possible that somebody in their marketing department thought that this could work as a knowing nod to the comedy-savvy consumers in the audience (who also, hopefully, needed credit cards with terrifying terms and conditions), but even if I was supremely generous and willing to grant that, what point does this make? “Gimme Some Money” is, like all of the songs in that film, a genre pastiche at best. It’s not particularly funny on its own…it was meant to be representative of a type of music that a type of band was writing in a particular cultural climate. It’s not even representative of the present-day band in the film…so what is it doing here? I keep thinking about the great featurette Mark Mothersbaugh provided for The Life Aquatic. He talks about how nice it is — or, sadly, was — working with Wes Anderson, because the score was always an organic part of the creative process and not something slapped on after the fact. He lamented the fact that there is computer software available to film makers that allows them to input whatever situations they like (his example was “he’s putting on a red bow-tie”) and have it generate a list of pop songs with similar things happening in their lyrics, so that nobody involved in the production would have to give the soundtrack much thought at all. I think that’s what happened here. The song has “money” in the title and “money” in the lyrics, and AmEx had their mind on that money and that money on their mind. Dog.
10) “I Heard It Through the Grapevine,” Marvin Gaye, 1968. Ruined by The California Raisin Advisory Board.
Yes, I know Marvin Gaye didn’t write this one, but it’s his version most of us remember. Or, it would be, if it weren’t for the claymation racial caricatures that caused this song to become forever associated with raisins. As much as I claimed “Like a Rock” was actually a good song stripped of its reputation by a truck commercial, “I Heard It Through the Grapevine” is a certified masterpiece. It’s a disarming dirge about a man who finds out that he’s been cuckolded, but he doesn’t even find this out first-hand: he hears it from everybody else first. His life has come crashing down, and he was the last to know. How long could this have continued? How long has he been living a lie? And what does he do now? The singer seems to be fixated on the fact that he wasn’t told first-hand, and he pretends to be getting upset about that, but that’s a psychological sleight of hand that prevents him from having to address the core truth: he doesn’t have her anymore. It’s a great song and one of the true classics of popular music, so of course we had to put it in the mouths of these purple Al Jolson heads as they perform their little minstrel show. The obvious blackface caricatures that were the California Raisins make this reappropriation an only slightly less racist marketing move than if the Board had additionally adopted the slogan “Raisins! Like watermelon seeds you can eat!” Some might say that Marvin Gaye’s greatest misfortune was when he was murdered in cold blood by his own father. But we know better, dear reader. Yes, we do.
Oh, and also, here’s an 11th and I don’t care. “Signed, Sealed, Delivered.” It’s a genuinely brilliant song. Stop putting it in every fucking commercial that can’t come up with its own music. THANKS.

chappy:
All your questions are correct and hilarious. Too bad you forgot to buzz in.
Ex: I hate to be a nitpicker (and you know (I hope) that any of my suggestions are just that (and may be ignored at your (or my) own risk)), but I think that you transposed Bambe and Wasilla in number 9. The way you have it written subjects Bambi to the possibility of an aerial hunt (though wouldn't an Aerial hunt be going after mermaids?).
And in number 8, why do you assume that those doing the 'Lord's' work would notice it was dark? And if they did, why would they not just assume that darkness is what the Lord (Voldemort?) actually wants?
(((Billy))):
I think you've gotten four terms mixed up. An "aerial" hunt is the search for TV antennae before all television broadcasting goes digital. An "Ariel" hunt is what one engages in if he or she wants to hook up with an island sprite. And an "areal" hunt is reconnaisance by helicopter in an attempt to find small towns just like Wasilla.
There's also an "Aryal" hunt, performed by and for Aryans, in an attempt to locate like-minded white, flag-waving, god-loving Protestants. Another term for this phenomenon is "Republican presidential campaign."
I should know better than to attempt word games with someone who has so very, very, very many more years of experience.
But what about Bambi's position?
(((Billy))):
But what about Bambi's position?
I'd say that, given how close Bambi is to Wasilla, his position is not good. It's certainly not a position I'd want to be in.
I bow to the wisdom of your advanced years.
Go BoSox!

Life hung by a thread: endurance of Antarctic fauna in glacial periods
Thatje, Sven; Hillenbrand, Claus-Dieter; Mackensen, Andreas; Larter, Robert. 2008 Life hung by a thread: endurance of Antarctic fauna in glacial periods. Ecology, 89 (3). 682-692.Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)
Abstract/Summary
Today, Antarctica exhibits some of the harshest environmental conditions for life on Earth. During the last glacial period, Antarctic terrestrial and marine life was challenged by even more extreme environmental conditions. During the present interglacial period, polar life in the Southern Ocean is sustained mainly by large-scale primary production. We argue that during the last glacial period, faunal populations in the Antarctic were limited to very few areas of local marine productivity (polynyas), because complete, multiannual sea-ice and ice shelf coverage shut down most of the Southern Ocean productivity within today's seasonal sea-ice zone. Both marine sediments containing significant numbers of planktonic and benthic foraminifera and fossil bird stomach oil deposits in the adjacent Antarctic hinterland provide indirect evidence for the existence of polynyas during the last glacial period. We advocate that the existence of productive oases in the form of polynyas during glacial periods was essential for the survival of marine and most higher-trophic terrestrial fauna. Reduced to such refuges, much of today's life in the high Antarctic realm might have hung by a thread during the last glacial period, because limited resources available to the food web restricted the abundance and productivity of both Antarctic terrestrial and marine life. | http://nora.nerc.ac.uk/11635/ | 2013-05-18T10:13:20 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
That is the only way to describe ACT MP John Banks' decision to select Catherine Isaac to head the charter schools implementation committee. Isaac is a former ACT Party President, and was a list candidate for the party at the last election. She has no relevant skills and no experience in the education sector. Despite that, she'll be overseeing the infliction of charter schools on the children of Christchurch and South Auckland (ACT being unwilling to subject their own precious offspring to such madness), and getting a fat government payment into the bargain.
But apart from the "jobs for the girls" aspect, there's another disturbing element to this case as well. Overseeing and assessing the outcome of an educational experiment should be done by neutral experts, not by ideological cronies. The fact that Isaac has been appointed makes it clear that the government isn't actually interested in the evidence on whether charter schools work (if they were, they would never have imposed them in the first place), but rather in imposing its ideological views regardless of that evidence. Its a strapped chicken, with other people's kids as the victims. | http://norightturn.blogspot.co.nz/2012/02/pure-cronyism.html | 2013-05-18T10:31:58 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Tim and I watched the finale of Awake tonight.
For those who don't know about the show. It's about a man who lives within two realities. In one, his son has survived a family car accident. In the other, it's his wife who has survived.
Is it all a dream?
Is some of it a dream?
Does he exist in two alternate realities?
Has he been touched by Jacob?
Who knows.....
The show has been canceled.
Not that this matters really. I'm sure if they had eight years to tell the story; we'd probably still be left with a big question mark.
I'm sad it's over though. I honestly couldn't imagine how they'd continue to make the show interesting for multiple seasons. But I really liked the characters. I got a little attached; and now I'm grieving a bit.
In memory of the show I was tempted to sing a bit of "Don't Dream It's Over". The lyrics are kind of fitting for the show. Well, at least the chorus part is.
Oh....
I just went googling around a bit.
It seems the show was NOT completely open-ended.
According to the beginning of this Jason Isaacs interview, and this interview with the writer, the show's creators did have some concrete answers in mind. Although they're not pushy about it. The creators have their beliefs, but are open to people interpreting things differently.
I think it leads to an interesting question. If you create a story with an open-ending; is it best that you have answers in mind? Or should you feel as ambiguous as your audience? | http://notreallyaustralian.blogspot.com/2012/05/wake-up-lucius-malfoy.html | 2013-05-18T10:22:26 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Sandy Hook kids get Super Bowl off to emotional start2/3/2013
The number of singers was symbolic: 26 members of the Sandy Hook Elementary School choir accompanied Grammy-winning Jennifer Hudson on "America the Beautiful" before Sunday's Super Bowl, representing the number of students and adults killed in the horrific shooting Dec. 14. The innocent voices made for a gripping, even heart-breaking rendition of the song, and the NFL connection was fitting. Many players, coaches and league officials have reached out to the Newtown community in the wake of the tragedy, and the NFL eagerly accepted the opportunity to host the students in New Orleans.

Señor, señor, can you tell me where we’re headin’? Lincoln County Road or Armageddon? Seems like I been down this way before. Is there any truth in that, señor? — Bob Dylan
Whatever happened to the occupy movement?
Only six months ago, we were questioning whether the movement would wreak havoc on the corporatedominated, accommodationist Democratic Party or force it to find its backbone similar to how the tea party has pushed the GOP to define its values.
Maybe the other shoe will drop in Charlotte in September, but actually, quite a bit has been happening with occupy in the North Carolina Piedmont. Occupy Greensboro decamped last year, but working groups on foreclosures, energy and other topics are active. Four hundred people showed up for the screening of the occupy-produced movie Let’s Lose Our House at the Carousel Theatre on March 14. “The Rachel Maddow Show” recently highlighted both Occupy Greensboro and Guilford County Register of Deeds Jeff Thigpen, who is suing the banks to address forged signatures on loan documents.
Occupy Winston-Salem fought the city to a draw on the matter of open-air gatherings, and continues to demonstrate frequently in response to corporate layoffs and tax breaks. A cursory glance at the websites of the two Triad cities’ occupy groups also reveals active participation in a host of leftist causes, including efforts to obtain justice for Trayvon Martin, activism to highlight Winston-Salem resident Uriel Alberto’s defiance of immigration law and opposition to the marriage amendment.
Meanwhile, social conservatives demonstrated in front of the federal building in Winston-Salem against the Obama administration’s policy on contraception coverage by faith-based groups — part of a nationwide wave of actions. On the campaign trail, Republican candidates and voters in candidates in Forsyth County continue to express outrage at the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling against praying in Jesus’ name before local government public meetings, applaud the county commission for voting to allow concealed weapons in parks and urge their elected representatives to crack down on illegal immigration.
The Forsyth County Commission passed a resolution on Monday evening endorsing state legislation to require voters to present ID before exercising their franchise. The voter ID bill was passed by both houses last year, but vetoed by Gov. Bev Perdue. The votes of county commissions across the state are thought to serve as a kind of a straw poll to give the General Assembly a sense of the people’s will and whether they should revisit the issue.
And the commissioners and their constituents from Forsyth County sent a message to the General Assembly that was loud and clear: They are divided and polarized. The commission voted 4 to 3 to approve the motion, with Republican Dave Plyler crossing party lines to join Democrats Walter Marshall and Everette Witherspoon in dissent.
Black citizens told the commissioners that the voter ID proposal reeks of poll taxes and literacy taxes that were used for decades to prevent blacks and poor people from voting in the South.
“I think we’ve reached the time in our history when I don’t walk around telling you that I’m a European-American,” said Bill Whiteheart, the Republican commissioner who introduced the resolution. “We have African-American, Native American and Mexican Americans. Let’s get real: We’re Americans. Period. And it’s about time we started acting like we’re Americans.”
All of these currents roiling the political scene are very American. The citizens and elected leaders who give voice to their convictions are speaking from narratives in our history involving equality, nationalism, class struggle and social values. But the competing interests of democracy have not always aligned neatly. It seems that the divisions tearing this country apart are building towards a monumental confrontation. But how it will be resolved and what realignment will emerge in the aftermath is a matter for fools to predict.
Amidst the crush of current events — I feel hopelessly behind on the latest developments in the Trayvon Martin case, the marriage amendment and the contraception contretemps, to name a few — I’ve retreated to history. Stealing away fugitive hours, I finally completed all 796 pages of The Rise of American Democracy: Jefferson to Lincoln, Sean
Wilentz’s masterful account, first published in 2005. I’ve renewed it
at least twice from the Greensboro Public Library since I first checked
it out in November, and I dread to find out what kind of fine I’ve
racked up.
Whatever
it is, it will be well worth it. I’m looking for clues about where
we’re headed, which is, after all, the point of studying history. At the
very least, I have a more mature understanding of from whence we’ve
come.
The
occupy and tea party movements both echo back to the Whiskey Rebellion
of 1794 in which western Pennsylvania counties distant from the centers
of political power violently resisted an inequitable tax on a commodity
that Wilentz describes as “a barter medium as well as an item for sale
in cash-poor regions.” The occupy movement, with its protest of crushing
student debt and working groups devising ways to restructure banks to
make them account able to the people, has an obvious forerunner in the
Relief Party, which took control of the Kentucky legislature amidst a
financial panic of 1819 that ruined small farmers, merchants and
manufacturers. The Relief Party passed laws abolishing debtors prisons,
extending the amount of time debtors could repay debts and replaced the
state bank with one empowered to issue massive amounts of inflationary
money, Wilentz writes. The courts intervened on the side of the
creditors, who naturally objected to reform, and the reformers responded
by attempting to establish a new court system.
These
historical portents illuminate only the economic fault lines cutting
across our presentday society. For insight on the rest, you’ll have to
study the Great Awakening, the anti-Masons, the temperance movement and
other moral reform currents, abolitionism, nativism, Irish immigration,
Free Soilers and — my favorite — the Know-Nothings. | http://npaper-wehaa.com/yes-weekly/2012/03/28/?page=18&article=1554041&output=html | 2013-05-18T10:31:51 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

costs, and restaurants on the East Coast were devastated by Superstorm Sandy.
RELATED
• Doritos Locos Tacos a standout success of 2012
• A look back on 2012 culinary trends
• More restaurant industry news
Through the chaos, though, many chains continued to roll out new menu items and marketing campaigns, and some major restaurant acquisitions occurred.
Here's a look at how these events and others affecting the restaurant industry played out over the course of the year.
JANUARY
Taco Bell kicked off a busy year in January when it commenced the long-anticipated rollout of its breakfast platform, “First Meal.” The brand’s ambitious morning menu featured 11 new items including four types of breakfast burritos, a sausage and egg wrap, a grilled item similar to the Crunchwrap Supreme, a crispy hash brown patty, and Cinnabon Delights. The Irvine, Calif.-based chain also began testing its new Cantina menu, which includes several higher quality options developed together with chef Lorena Garcia. Later in the year Taco Bell debuted its Doritos Locos Tacos, which features a shell made of nacho cheese-flavored Doritos.
Landry’s Inc. continued a buying spree in 2012, as reflected in the purchase of McCormick & Schmick’s Seafood Restaurants Inc., in January and Morton’s Restaurant Group Inc., in February. Landry’s acquired the 80-unit seafood specialist for $131.6 million and then purchased the 70-unit luxury steakhouse chain for $116.6 million a month or so later. In February Landry’s also announced a $60 million development on the Pleasure Pier in Galveston Island, Texas. Landry’s also owns Rainforest Café, Saltgrass Steak House, Claim Jumper, Oceanaire and The Chart House.
FEBRUARY
A research note penned in February by Sara Senatore, securities analyst for Bernstein Research, declared that rapidly growing India could soon surpass China as the top overseas market for Western QSR chains — a trend reflected in strategic moves by several major U.S. restaurant brands. McDonald’s and Yum! Brands said they would intensify their expansion throughout the subcontinent, while Starbucks and Dunkin’ Donuts revealed plans to open their first locations there later in the year. Meanwhile, Baskin-Robbins, Domino’s Pizza and Subway continued to deepen their roots in India. Subway opened four strictly vegetarian outlets this year and McDonald’s also announced its intention to explore all-vegetarian locations there.
MARCH
In March McDonald’s announced the June 30 retirement of longtime executive Jim Skinner (pictured right) from his posts as vice chairman and chief executive of the Oak Brook, Ill.-based chain. Skinner, who had been with McDonald’s for 41 years and served as CEO since 2004, was succeeded by the chain’s current president and chief operating officer Don Thompson. Skinner took the reins following the deaths of two predecessors, Charlie Bell and Jim Cantalupo. During his tenure McDonald’s implemented its Plan to Win, which has been credited with turning around sales and establishing McDonald’s as one of the most successful restaurant chains in the world. The company would slip later in 2012 when global economic headwinds impacted monthly same-store sales, which fell 1.8 percent in October — the first decrease since April 2003. to consumer demand. Then in June Burger King plunged back into the stock market following the closure of a reverse merger with Justice Holdings Ltd. BK’s new parent company, Burger King Worldwide Inc., began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker BKW, opening at $14.50 per share.
JUNE
The U.S. Supreme Court dealt a blow to opponents of President Obama’s sweeping health care act when, by a narrow margin, the judges upheld the constitutionality of the central element of the Affordable Care Act. The justices ruled by a historic vote of 5 to 4 in favor of the law’s individual mandate, which requires that all Americans purchase health insurance. Many restaurant operators and association executives had hoped the court would overturn the law, arguing that associated costs would slice into earnings, brake growth and force businesses to raise prices and eliminate jobs.
In an effort to help address the nation’s increasing health and obesity problems, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg introduced a proposal to establish a 16-ounce size limit on sugary beverages served at restaurants and other businesses in the five boroughs. The beverage ban, which was passed by the city’s board of health in September, established New York as the first jurisdiction in the nation to limit the sale of large, sugar-sweetened drinks. In October the National Restaurant Association and other trade groups responded by filing a lawsuit to block the implementation of the law before it takes effect next year.
AUGUST
Bloomin’ Brands, Inc., formerly known as OSI Restaurant Group and parent to Outback Steakhouse, Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse, Bonefish Grill and Carabba’s Italian Grill, returned to the public marketplace with a somewhat lackluster IPO that sold 16 million shares at $11. Those totals were below the Tampa, Fla.-based firm’s initial target of 21 million shares and per-share prices of between $13 and $15. Following Bloomin’ Brands’ underpowered market debut, CKE Restaurants and Dave & Buster’s made the decision to postpone their respective IPOs, citing less-than ideal market conditions.
SEPTEMBER
Casual-dining company Darden Restaurants Inc. completed the purchase of Yard House USA Inc. for $585 million. Darden, which owns and operates such major national brands as Red Lobster and Olive Garden, purchased the 40-unit Yard House from private equity firm TSG Consumer Partners LLC, which had acquired the casual-dining chain in 2007 when it had only 16 locations. Yard House will join Darden’s Specialty Group, which also includes The Capital Grille, Bahama Breeze, Seasons 52 and Eddie V’s.
OCTOBER
Superstorm Sandy slammed into the East Coast Oct. 29, causing extensive power outages, widespread flooding, leaving billions of dollars in damages and contributing to at least 85 fatalities in the United States. But while restaurateurs across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states struggled to recover in the wake of the powerfully destructive hurricane, they also mobilized to do what they do best — feed the hungry. Chains and independents alike — even those hobbled by the historic storm — opened their kitchens to affected customers and emergency workers as well as raised funds for relief efforts such as the Red Cross.
NOVEMBER
Many in the restaurant industry saw a victory by Gov. Mitt Romney and other Republican candidates in the Nov. 6 elections as their last, best hope to overturn President Obama’s Affordable Care Act and head off what they consider to be onerous costs associated with the law’s implementation. However, a decisive victory by Obama coupled with the Democrats retaining their majority in the Senate and picking up additional seats in the House largely ensured the ACA would be implemented as it stood.

The Burgwin-Wright Museum House is a Georgian house with a handsome Palladian doorway, double porches on two sides, and authentic Colonial gardens on seven levels.
Built in 1770 for John Burgwin, Treasurer of the Colony of North Carolina, it was purchased in 1937 by The National Society of The Colonial Dames of America in the State of North Carolina for their State headquarters.
The house has been carefully restored and a fine collection of 18th- and 19th-century furnishings acquired. The separate kitchen building offers demonstrations of open-hearth cooking and crafts.
This charming property creates a link with the past and is an excellent example of a Colonial gentleman's town residence.

The upper image is a computer-simulated visualization of Mach 1 homogeneous turbulence, which also is the featured image on the cover of Science and Engineering Indicators 2010. The lower picture is a photograph capturing the aurara borealis over the South Pole Station, a natural phenomenon also reflecting turbulence. Turbulence and plasma waves in Earth's magnetosphere produce electromagntetic structures that accelerate charged particles. These highly energized particles enter the upper atmosphere and interact with neutral gases at altitudes of approximately 100 kilometers above Earth's surface, generating rapidly changing streamers of light called the aurora.Credit: Cover Design: James Caras, NSF.

Logging Lawsuit
5:57 am
Tue May 8, 2012
Conservation Groups Sue to Stop Logging Project
Conservation organizations will proceed with a legal challenge of the Goose Logging Project in the McKenzie River Watershed in the Willamette National Forest. KLCC's Christina Kempster has more on the story.
Residents of McKenzie Bridge have been fighting this logging project that they say would change the landscape of their community.
Josh Laughlin is with Eugene-based Cascadia Wildlands, one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit. He says that they have tried dialogue with the Forest Service and still hope to reach a compromise.
"We hope that we are able to find common ground with the agency so the good portions of the project can move forward," Laughlin says. "The reckless older forest logging can be shelved and that way there are wide spread benefits for the community, the ecosystem and essentially a happy medium can be found."
The Forest Service says the Goose project goals are to balance logging, wildfire prevention and habitat preservation. Laughlin is skeptical. He says the Forest Service has poisoned its own well by pairing restoration with aggressive logging. | http://nwpr.org/post/conservation-groups-sue-stop-logging-project | 2013-05-18T10:22:25 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

Jeter/a-rod Nod At Me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#1
Posted 09 June 2005 - 10:40 AM
Jeter nodded at me when he was up and he fouled off a 3-2 pitch and I screamed "Thata way to stay alive Derek, and remember a single scores two," (The bases were loaded) he actually thought Bernie said that and then he looked up straight in my eyes and nodded at me and I could swear, he threw me a wink!
Then A-Rod nodded at me after the game when he was giving an interview at the dugout and I was near him and screamed "Good job Mr. Rodriguez, that was a nice HR that cleared the stadium," and aved the whole time while saying that and he smiled and gave me a nod. I felt like the greatest fan there.
Also, anyone see me? Iwas 4'8, 68 pounds, Jets hat, Bernie Spirng Training jersey, and sexy. I sat on the third deck up, front row, and in the ninth I went in the third-fourth row just to the right and behind the Ynaks on deck circle.

That's what happens when you have a healthy diet not invovlving that many meats, a problem with growing, and being 12.

Wow,Chad4prez, if you have a problem with growing, at age 12, not to be mean or anything, but you should be taking growth hormones.

Since I hate milk and get a bad stomach ach and feel like throwing up (I guess I am lactose intalerant to it) when I drink it, my Mom says that's why I'm not growing.

But I think I'll live, but the lack of calcium can weaken my bones as I grow more and can easily screw up my growth spurt since my bones will need calcium. Overtime that can easily mess up my bones and as I become like a retired man my bones might become almost useless. Kinda sad a 12 year old is already thinking about retirement.
Hopefully I will get enough calcium to become more grown and fit and possibly be Jeter's heir at shortstop, which maybe if I try hard enough and push enough to the limit, I could be (by then people willing to play for the Yanks would dwindle).
But honestly, the thrill of being nodded/winked at by Jeter is something hard to find, especially when HE IS AT BAT. Once in a lifetime chance.
But the A-Rod thing was still cool, I just like Jeter more, and he did it in the game.

Thanks, bit being small is like watching Peyton Manning throw a TD, it just seems right. If I become tall, that's like Manning throwing 0 TDs against a team not named the Patriots, it doesn't fit.
I hope I grow but not too much, thanks.
Hope you do good in hockey!

THOU SORRY!!!! It's just when thy think of good secondarys to square off with Manning the Pats were the first (and only to strike thy mind), but if it was right after a game the Jets won 41-0, thy'd think differently.
The thing wronng with thee is thy don't have enough calcium, thou didn't get any Yanks autos at the game, thou thristy right now, and thou having trouble trading away Jim Edmonds in thou MVP BASEBALL game.
GOING TO A YANKS GAME AUGUST 21! GAME TIME IS 2:05 P.M. Thy'll be in the same outfit, hopefully a slightly taller and heavier thee, but not much taller or heavier.

I solved my thirsty problem. :victory:

The Katie Holmes Look Book
When Katie Holmes married Tom Cruise in 2006, she transformed from former Dawson’s Creek star into one of the most frequently photographed women in Hollywood. With the help of stylist Jeanne Yang (with whom she later co-founded a fashion line, Holmes & Yang, which now serves as the actress’s principle clothing source), Holmes turned her wholesome, casual wardrobe up a few notches. She soon became just as celebrated for her ballet flats and boyfriend jeans as she was for her sophisticated red carpet outfits, which range from sleek black jumpsuits to more conventional cocktail dresses. See her fashion highlights through the years. | http://nymag.com/thecut/2012/08/katie-holmes-look-book.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+nymag%2Ffashion+%28The+Cut+-+nymag.com%27s+Fashion+Blog+-+New+York+Magazine%29 | 2013-05-18T10:57:08 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
Wendy Pepper Will ‘Mow Down’ Her Project Runway All Stars Competition
Previews for the new season of Project Runway All Stars show Wendy promising to bring it to the pattern-cutting table: "I've come here to completely mow all these people down." Considering that her designs during season one often fell short — or apart — she might want to turn that (lawn) mower toward her competitors' outfits while they're out of the workroom filming confessionals. She's Wendy Pepper; she can get away with it.

Hypothermia
What is hypothermia?.
Who is at risk for hypothermia?
The following people are most at risk for hypothermia:
- elderly persons, who often have other illnesses, such as heart disease or circulation problems, or take medications that interfere with the body's ability to regulate its temperature
- elderly persons with inadequate food, clothing, or heat; often these persons sit alone for hours or days at a time in a cold apartment or home; improper nutrition also makes them more susceptible to the cold
- infants and/or toddlers sleeping in cold bedrooms
- persons who remain outdoors for long periods of time, such as the homeless, hikers, and hunters
What are the symptoms of hypothermia?
What should you do while waiting for medical attention?
It is important that victims of hypothermia receive immediate medical attention. While waiting for medical attention, some methods of dealing with a hypothermia victim include the following:
- First, get the victim into a warm room or shelter.
- If he/she has on any wet clothing, remove it immediately.
- Warm the center of the body first - the chest, neck, head, and groin - using an electric blanket, if it is available. Or use skin-to-skin contact, with your own body heat providing warmth to the victim.
- Be careful to not handle the victim roughly.
- Warm beverages can also be helpful, but never give a victim of hypothermia any alcoholic beverage, and never try to give beverages to an unconscious person.
- Once the body temperature begins to increase, keep the person dry and wrapped in warm blankets and seek medical attention as soon as possible.

Christmas Day is a time for reflection for Olympic champion rower Hamish Bond.
He's become inundated with commitments since winning gold with Eric Murray in the men's pair in London.
Bond says he's been surprised how busy he's been, but the festive period gives him some respite.
He says it's important to have some time away from the scene, to work out what they're going to do in the months going forward.
Hamish Bond has yet to commit to the Rio Olympics. | http://nz.sports.yahoo.com/news/htrn-irs-rowing-hbforward-214706126.html | 2013-05-18T10:13:43 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
Flow started out as a freeware flash game on PC, spilled onto PlayStation 3 as an early PlayStation Store title and now has made its way to the PlayStation Portable as a $15 download on the PlayStation Store. Flow dumps the player into the ocean as a micro-organism. Players swim around various levels of depth consuming other micro-organisms, evolving as they go. It’s a unique concept for any platform and makes for a relaxing game.
There are six organisms to unlock, including the Jelly and Hunter, each featuring their own abilities. The core gameplay consists of swimming around, eating as many micro-organisms as possible, and evolving to unlock the next organism. Once you’ve cleared one depth you can head to the next via specially marked organisms. Although this version retains the addictive gameplay of the originals while adapting it to the smaller screen, it still feels like a flash game - right down to the lack of a save option.
Due to that, in order to collect all of the evolutions you need to avoid playing anything else between evolutions. Should you need a break you can turn off the PlayStation Portable without losing any progress and the game will resume next time you turn it on. Once you have unlocked an organism it will be available the next time you start a game.. That said, it’s portable Flow and fans who want to play with their micro-organism on the go will love it.

As you know, I never liked calling you by a nick name (because I respect the fact that our parents put a lot of thought into deciding names for us). This is my sixth letter to you, the previous five being the ones I had written to you when you were in the ICU, when you needed to know what was going on around you. I know you never read those letters in front of me, but I’m sure you did read them later without letting me know. Sorry for the bad grammar in them by the way, you know what state of mind I was in when I was writing them.
It’s been exactly a month since you died. And I remember the time when we were sitting in my car, and you told me that when you die, you’d prefer people to use the words death and died instead of insinuations for it. I’m sorry for not saying so before. It was just difficult for me to do so. After you died, I felt lost for quite some time. Stayed quieter than ever, was so unaware that I wet my iPod in the rain and now even that is not working any more. I quit my dance classes (I know you’re going to hate me for it, but I don’t think I could put my heart into it). And most of all I had lost my belief in God. Maybe I was really angry with him. I just couldn’t see you go. I guess I came to know about God’s human side that day, of sometimes being more selfish than man.
By the way thanks for replying to my random conversations with you through my dreams. Each one of them was so comforting. So like you, always know how to make things better. I remember the time when I cried on your shoulder about my masi being really ill, and you just made it all so much better. And made me laugh after that, and I made you swear not to tell anyone that I cried.
I still haven’t seen inception by the way. We were supposed to watch it for friendship day, the day you were hospitalised. That day you totally outdid me with the ultra lame jokes you were cracking, about us to be positive, ‘cause that’s your blood group, and the fact that you’re in the ICU, but the irony is that no one can actually ‘see you’. You also told me to reduce my caffeine intake, and yes, it has fallen drastically (V and A are witnesses to that). A, V and A are fine by the way. They still do the best they can to take my case, and now that you’re not there, there’s no one to tell them to stop. I also added D on facebook. I remember when you had told me, that I might get along with him because he’s into dance.
Aunty is doing well too, she’s being really brave. I’m sure you already know that, and you’re looking at her and giving those virtual hugs you used to give me on the phone. Uncle was ill a few weeks ago, but he’s much better now. I talk to aunty every day, speak about your little quirks and eccentricities. I also tied two rakhis to your brother, K by the way. One from you and one from me. I remember when you told me how patronising you found the whole system of the brother ‘protecting’ the sister, and that it should be mutual.
I’m sorry about those nights I spent crying, maybe it was all pent up. You see, I did the best I could to hold it in, in front of aunty and uncle. And you know me really well, before you left us, you were the only one apart from my family, who’d ever seen me cry.
You know, sometimes when I look at little things, they remind me of you. When I look at my fridge, I’m always reminded of when you labelled me as your ‘fridge-friend’, which is a friend who opens the fridge in your place and takes whatever she likes. My pillow reminds me of when we were little kids in class two, and you had told me this story about the ‘magic pillow’ you apparently had. You bum, I almost believed you at that.
Tejaswee, you may not be around physically, but I know you’re there somewhere. I know you listen to me when I talk in the air randomly and hope like hell that you’re listening. Sometimes when I watch the rain, I remember the time we danced in the rain and got wet from head to toe. Before I knew you, I never thought love existed beyond a romantic relationship. You truly showed me what love is, when you took care of me in the medical room when I had got a severe asthma attack, when you came back for me when we were crossing the road, and I got stuck in the middle. When you got me those bodyshop lip-balms in front of me and never told me that they were actually meant for me. And all those times you showed me what it is like to love a friend with all your heart.
The last day that you talked to me, you told me you’ll always love me. And I know you’ll stand by it. Please keep coming in my dreams and talking to me, you’re the only one who could give me sound advice. Life is going on, sweety. But I don’t think it can be the same without you, at least not for now. It’s going to take time. I cannot let go of you so easily. But learning from you, I am living every moment to its best. I’m honing my talent of writing, which you always believed in and encouraged. I’m going to write a book on you. People need to know what an extraordinary person you were.
You will always live on in my heart, no matter what. We’re going to do the things you always wanted to. One of them being that all of us are planning to adopt kids like you always wanted to. I still miss you sometimes, but you’re the only one who gives me the hope to live life to the fullest. Thinking about you may someday retain my faith in God, because if it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have had a friend like you. You will always live on sweety, we will never let your spirit die. You’ll always be among us guiding us through right and wrong. And I will love you forever, as I promised.
Till the next time that you meet me in my dreams, loads and loads of love and big virtual hugs.
A
PS: Say hi to Heath Ledger for me and tell him I’ve been a huge fan.
And stop blushing at the mention of Heath Ledger.
Love…
Hugs Arushi! You write really well. Though I am no body to comment on the relationship that you both shared, I think Tejaswee will be really proud of you. Hugs again.
Thank you so much..
I just hope she can read this somehow.. we’ve been friends since eleven years.. and it was a huge shock..
That time may have been the worst I’d ever seen..
I just hope that wherever she is, she’s happy.. and I can make her proud in some way or the other..
Thanks a lot once again..
Love and hugs..
“And most of all I had lost my belief in God. Maybe I was really angry with him. I just couldn’t see you go. I guess I came to know about God’s human side that day, of sometimes being more selfish than man.”
“You know, sometimes when I look at little things, they remind me of you”
I felt the EXACT same. and I know tj would have surely shouted at me for the above one.
what a beautiful one. and i Love the ending. so cute..
miss tj… :
take care
Divesh.
thanks a lot..
I can totally understand how you feel.. I miss her a lot too..
you too, take care..
hey couldn’t help noe some similarities-
)
1. I dream of her too. And she talks to me. ( i thought i was going soft in the head but its good to know that i have a partner in crime.
2. I missed inception too. We watched loads of movies together and i had chalked it out. Me, TJ, K and my bro….but this happened. A certain Mr. ThespiansMentalPicture was the reason i missed out another movie(previously) with her too cause he decided to visit her at around the same time.
I guess the idea of adoption has hit everyone(me included). Thanks to Tejaswee many destitude kids will have good families and a bright life in the future. See, she inspires us to do what is right even when she’s no more. (allright TJ-) or dead.
The love bit. Yeah i agree totally. When we were out, TJ used to link her arm in mine. I felt odd (not because of her but because of what others would think). When i told her about it she said “hey kiddo, let others think what they want to” , and stubbornly did it again. She was a beautiful pure human being. Just too good. God is selfish.
Hey write a book . Totally. You already have a buyer/reader.
I miss her loads too. Take strength from the fact that like you there are many others who were close to her and miss her(her family in particular.That was sweet what you did on Rakhi for K. He needs this.) I do the same. Its what makes me go on.
Take care. Be strong for IHM,S and K.
Hey.. Thanks
I miss do miss her a lot..
and it’s amazing how much she loved everyone alike..
I am going to write a book.. and thanks for being my first client!
you too take care..
and I will consult you and Divesh if I get stuck somewhere on the book..
hugs..
this is the best post i have read so far! and i promise she is listening to you and making sure you keep well.I am glad you are going to do all those things as u both were supposed to do and make Tejaswee live in spirit.
The book that you will write will be read by many and me too and i promise to keep her in my prayers everyday
i am glad to know that she has friends like you.I read her mother blog and got here from there,I know what she must be going through.be there for her and never let go of her.My brothers friends just left mom and never came as they said they could not face our home without him.Mom was even more hurt as she was seeing him in them and that was the last hook.
Bless you girl.
Thank you so much..
I really hope she can see me and hear me from somewhere.. I keep having those one-to-one conversations with her for just about anything, right from choosing what dress to wear.. And I imagine her choosing it for me and feel like she answered my crazy ramblings..
I just want to feel her presence somehow and keep her alive..
And I’ve made a promise to her and to myself that I’ll make sure that I’ll do anything that lessens the void felt by her mother, father and brother..
Thanks a lot for understanding.. I really does mean a lot..
The book is definitely going to be out sometime.. It’s just going to take a little time, because one can’t really settle for anything average for such a remarkable person..
Hugs..
[...] When you were around I prayed for you, [...]
`*- I am very thankful to this topic because it really gives great information ;`-
This is something very very very touching. After reading this I felt like I am also one of her friend, I am somehow attached to it now. You are a great friend, I hope God gives everyone a friend like you and a friend like Tejaswee. I am dead sure that she is listening to you,she is watching you and her family and other friends as though she is still there with you guys.
PS-I am the guy who wrote an article on youthkiawaaz about effect of western culture, I hereby take back my words if in anyway they have hurt the sentiments of a woman. And I think you are the girl who criticized me for it. Thank you for that and for making me realise that I should put in the right kind of words and sentences to put forward my view.
Cheers
Thanks so much, Abhijit.
Tejaswee was truly very special and someone very close to my heart.
And I’m really sorry if I hurt you in any way while commenting on your post. I have overtly feminist tendencies, which sometimes ooze out to its heart content when it senses anything wrong. I hereby take back all the personal attacks (but I still stand by the other things
).
Thanks so much once again, Abhijit. You’ve been truly sporting. And I’m glad you’ve been sensible enough to take it in your stride. I guess I judged you too soon. Sorry for that.
Regards,
Arushi
I was really taken aback when I saw that you were commenting on personal things. When I commented there for the first time I thought you would understand my point that I am not against women or I was not talking about the majority(My mistake that I didn’t specify this in my post). And then when it got messy, I was asked by my editor to keep mum to maintain the decorum.
. For one moment I was like why these girls are not understanding me and attacking me as if they have come prepared just to attack me(looked like your parents scolded you and you were venting out all the frustration on me
)
And two of your friends were also there to support you, right
But its past now,I also know my mistake now and you too know yours, and we will try not to commit these mistakes again.
Cheers

Another Stephen Sondheim revue of greatest hits! At this rate, our musical poet of urban angst is fast becoming the cerebral equivalent to The Three Tenors .
Putting It Together , starring Carol Burnett at the Ethel Barrymore Theater, is a retread of the 1993 Sondheim evening starring Julie Andrews at the Manhattan Theater Club, which was also called Putting It Together . You’d think they would have got it together by now. And there you would be wrong.
The material in the two shows is basically the same-Mr. Sondheim’s songs have been loosely strung together from his musicals Sunday in the Park With George, Follies , Company and more. Taken out of context, his celebrated existential disenchantment-or good old-fashioned sourness-still remains ill-suited to a jolly revue, but let that pass for the moment. The new “concept” has been developed from shaky to shaky.
The 1993 version gave us a cast of five sophisticated urbanites who seemed to be attending a Manhattan cocktail party in order to sing 30 or so bittersweet songs about failed relationships. There was an older, disenchanted married couple, a younger, characterless unmarried couple, and Christopher Durang looking uncomfortable in a cummerbund as a sort of puckish Greek chorus. The concept did not work well. The feeling was that they should have abandoned the clumsy plot device, which made no sense, and turned the show into a concert version. On the other hand, there had already been lots of Sondheim concerts.
The new-millennium-approacheth version of Putting It Together , which has been directed by Eric D. Schaeffer, gives us a cast of five sophisticated urbanites who seem to be attending a surreal Manhattan cocktail party in order to sing 30 or so bittersweet songs about failed relationships. There’s an older, disenchanted married couple, here called the Wife (Carol Burnett) and the Husband (George Hearn), and a younger, characterless unmarried couple known as the Younger Man (John Barrowman) and the Younger Woman (Ruthie Henshall). Having fun so far? There’s also the fifth cast member known as the Observer, who observes, and is played by Bronson Pinchot as a sort of puckish Greek chorus in a perky little bow tie. At certain performances, Kathie Lee Gifford will perform the role of the Wife and, naturally, my one regret is that I shall be out of town that day.
This radical change in concept from the original version is so imaginatively brilliant that no writer wishes to receive credit for it. He is the Anonymous Writer. But the concept does not work well. The feeling is that they should have abandoned the clumsy plot device, which makes no sense, and turned the show into a concert version. But I am in danger of repeating myself.
Mr. Sondheim’s cocktail of discontent is one thing. Our flagging sense of any emotional involvement in the cold, clean proceedings isn’t helped by the usually inspired sets of Bob Crowley. The remote, quasi-surreal designs of empty rooms, soulless cubicles, neon tubes and miniature chairs do not evoke the welcome mat. It is all too self-consciously arty-and Art with a capital A is the one thing Mr. Sondheim, of all introspective intellectuals, seems perversely anxious to avoid at all cost.
It is the strangest thing: This is the Sondheim show that disclaims all responsibility for Stephen Sondheim. Just before the curtain goes up, Mr. Pinchot, who plays our friend, the Observer, appears in the aisle of the Barrymore, but not as the Observer. The Observer is dressed as the Usher. He’s pretending to be a real usher, without much success. But what he’s doing is a peculiar stand-up routine explaining how this is all really going to be fun . A little joke is made about Kathie Lee Gifford giving Carol Burnett the wrong directions to the theater, a gag that strangely fails to bring down the house. The high seriousness of Mr. Sondheim’s renowned musicals is sent up, too. Even Mr. Sondheim Himself. What naughtiness! “Deep down,” says the defensive usher in disguise, “even his friends are afraid that he’s going to be cerebral, difficult, complicated, wordy. And at dinner, he is.”
But not, the faux usher is desperately reassuring us, here. Nothing is cerebral, difficult, complicated, or Sondheimian wordy, or anything but fun, here at the Barrymore with Carol Burnett. Life is beautiful! Everything is beautiful! In other words, my friends, relax with a paradox-Sondheim Lite.
As the irreverent lyric to the opening number from “The Frogs” goes: “Please don’t fart/ There’s very little air/ And this is art.”
An iffy witty ditty, but the intentions are dispiritingly clear. Do not be troubled by songs that may appear to be on the Sondheimian sardonic edge, or a wee bit despairing in their urbane misanthropic view that life sucks. Mr. Sondheim does not bring on the downs. He’s really a laugh riot.
Carol Burnett is a born clown. Worldly cynicism and disappointment are not to be found in her warm heart. There is no hidden subtext, no half-measures in her generous talent. She would not accept a proposal to “marry me a little,” as the Sondheim lyric goes. Wary commitment, a sense of bruised distance, isn’t her game. The star does well (and mugs well), but her entire comic persona couldn’t be more different from Mr. Sondheim’s brittle disenchantment.
If truth be told, Ms. Burnett is in the wrong show. But then, so is Mr. Sondheim. Her reading of that battle cry to soused loneliness, “The Ladies Who Lunch” from Company , nevertheless hits the nakedly raw center. Her “Not Getting Married Today,” the neurotic howl of terror from a woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown and marriage, is wonderfully funny-the one song in the show (also from Company ) that might have been written for her.
The rest is a mixed bag, with George Hearn (the star with Angela Lansbury of Sweeney Todd ) glumly off-form. Even a party piece as sure-fire as “Everybody Ought to Have a Maid” from Mr. Sondheim’s early A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum fails miserably to ignite, as if it’s being performed in virtual reality. The duet between Mr. Barrowman and Ms. Henshall, “Unworthy of Your Love,” is blandly delivered without any sexual tension or nuance, yet it was originally the spooky duet between John W. Hinckley and Squeaky Fromme in Assassins .
Mr. Barrowman is a pretty face, bearing a slight resemblance to Tom Cruise. That isn’t necessarily a good thing. He sings sweetly, without understanding, I’m afraid. Ms. Henshall, a star in England who recently appeared here in Chicago, seems to be still in Chicago, what with the fixed smile, the short skirt and the flashing. She oversells a song whatever the song, taking no prisoners with the anodyne “More” from Mr. Sondheim’s movie score for the forgotten Dick Tracy . The appealing Mr. Pinchot, the Observer, deserves a much better break than this.
And so do we. But don’t be too surprised if in the year 2006, Putting It Together is back with us again-with a new concept, of course. It will be about five sophisticated urbanites who gather at a clambake in Baltimore on Groundhog Day to sing 102 bittersweet Sondheim songs about failed relationships. There’s a sour married couple, the Bickersons, to whom every day is a little death, a younger anonymous couple, Nameless and Nameless, merrily rolling along to no avail, and an outsider now known as Misery, who’s not getting married today, O.K.?

Nite Moves Strip Club Seeks Same Tax Exemptions as New York City Ballet
Nite Moves, a strip club in Albany, N.Y., deserves the same treatment as the New York City Ballet in the eyes of the tax man. That’s the basic argument before New York’s highest court right now. Nearly a half-million dollars are at stake if the establishment wins the case and achieves tax-exempt parity with other fine purveyors of the terpsichorean arts. Public Radio International’s Studio 360 reports that the club has been victorious in the past: | http://observer.com/term/exotic-dance/ | 2013-05-18T10:43:00 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

These words, as readers of New York's press now know only too well, were alleged to be those of Michael Bloomberg - the mogul of the markets whose name is synonymous with Wall Street and who now wants to be the next Mayor of the Big Apple, stepping into the shoes of Rudy Giuliani, arguably the best and certainly the most controversial First Citizen the city has ever known.
Ms Garrison went on to pursue a legal complaint against Bloomberg, who had continued their little dialogue by saying: 'That's great! Number 16!' - referring to 15 other women who had interrupted their work at his castle of high finance to take maternity leave.
Although Garrison had taped some of her conversations with Bloomberg, he three years later settled the case without an admission of guilt for an undisclosed amount described as 'substantial', all the while denying her claims.
But Garrison's was not the only complaint against the would-be Mayor. The New York Daily News recently assembled a harvest of other complaints, including those of women urged to wear their skirts shorter. One woman, Alison Potter, claims that Bloomberg had said of her child: 'It's a baby! All it does is sleep and eat. All you need is some black who doesn't even have to speak English to rescue it from a burning building!'
Whether true or not, these allegations have bubbled away ahead of last week's news. But all that is past tense - for Bloomberg is New York's man of the moment. After months of speculation, he has finally announced that he will seek the nomination of Giuliani's Republican Party, in its bid to hold on to an office it seized - in this bastion of Democratic voting - only because of the larger-than-life personality of the man they call 'Benito' - Giuliani himself.
Bloomberg is certainly the man who will liven up an election for the Giuliani succession that was otherwise going to be a worthy but dull contest between City Hall apparatchiks. He would be the first billionaire ever to run an American city - a billionaire with a townhouse on the Upper East Side, a London pad filled with paintings, a Caribbean retreat, a weekend mansion in New York's exclusive Westchester county, a private jet and a chopper he flies himself.
Now, Bloomberg will be shaking hands in old folks' homes, kissing babies on the Staten Island Ferry, pounding the beat in Harlem and bringing his brash self-confidence to the nooks and crannies of Brooklyn and the Bronx. 'I like his cocky style,' observed the celebrity TV anchor Tom Brokaw, 'but I'm not sure why he wants to do this. It's going to be much tougher than he thinks.'
The reason, according to Bloomberg, is that being Mayor of New York is the fourth best job in the world - after President of the United States, Secretary General of the United Nations and President of the World Bank, all of which are currently occupied. It is also the only job, he told Newsweek magazine, in which 'you make a decision in the morning, it's on the streets by this afternoon and you see the results tomorrow'.
This is something Bloomberg must have observed from the Giuliani years (it is certainly an inaccurate description of those of his predecessor, David Dinkins), but, as a character, the flashy, personable Bloomberg - the best-connected man in New York - could not be less like Giuliani, the dark-soul recluse with barbed-wire defences.
He also comes from very different origins to those of Giuliani, the prosecutor who all but broke Cosa Nostra and likes to run a centralised city state. In fact, the only thing the two men have in common is that they used to be liberal Democrats.
Bloomberg is the emperor of the one domain in which Giuliani the populist was never quite at home - the free-market jungle on Wall Street at the southern end of Manhattan. In the old days, Wall Street brokerage houses would buy and sell stocks, bonds and commodities by reliance on carrier pigeons for timely information.
Now they have a thing called the Bloomberg Terminal - or 'boxes' as they are called. The boxes are the indispensable primary tools of the modern market system, computers that give brokers access to a dazzling array of changing prices which rise, fall and resurrect - just like the career of its inventor, after which they are named.
The 'King: 'I 'Bloom: 'Hi!.
By now, America's superstars parade through Bloomberg's studios and offices. Accompanied by a reporter for one recent profile, he chides his 'Entertainment Producer' for failing to get a callback from Sharon Stone. 'Did you tell her she has the chance to be the next Mrs Bloomberg? How many heterosexual billionaires are there out there?'
To run his campaign - and maybe to reform his image a touch, faced with an electorate made up of five Democrats to one Republican - Bloomberg has stepped down as CEO of his company. He has also begun talking about a long-term political career, striking up a friendship with the maverick Republican John McCain. He has hired heavy-hitting political consultants from Washington.
Bloomberg says that he learned what he learned by watching other people make mistakes, at places like the rigidly structured but lurching Salomon Brothers. At Bloomberg's company, not one of the far-flung staff of 2,000 or so reporters, finance analysts or data clerks has an official title. All of them are in theory entitled to use his office whenever they want.
There are free snacks, so that no one need leave their desk. There's even an annual party at Bloomberg's Westchester County home at which people get to throw him in the swimming pool. Let him try and bring that kind of regime to City Hall - it might just end up being the somewhat dirtier Harlem River.
The last tycoon to run for Mayor of New York was William Randolph Hearst, who did so in 1905. Bloomberg is currently reading David Nasaw's biography, The Chief , and admits that the first thing he turned to was that chapter that deals with the mayoral race. Hearst lost.

Re: Tech
Most people outside of chicago and even a good portion of people in the chicago suburbs do not call Chicago "chi"
And people outside of the state and even outside of the country would not use "occupychi", they use and will continue to use "occupychicago"
Having 2 separate hashtags is an obvious problem for MANY reasons.
The ONLY upside to using "occupychi" is that it save 4 character spaces, but the upside for focusing only on "occupychicago" far outweigh saving 4 character spaces.
We need to promote the use of "occupychicago" ASAP, it will help consolidate news, information, etc... and it will make it easier for newcomers across the planet to find occupychicago on Twitter.
This is really something that should have been fixed weeks ago. We need to do everything we can to simplify and consolidate our resources. This is something that can be done to have an immediate positive impact on OccupyChicago

Re: Tech
As for "where do we vote for tech changes" via this forum, or you can join tech committee and make them yourself . This may seem harsh but keep in mind tech is volunteers, not employees.
This does not mean we are not open to external ideas, we most assuredly are, however, just as no one can tell Direct Action what to do, you can suggest actions, Direct Action decides what they will do. The same follows with Tech (and all the committees I believe)

Local Sculptor Bends Gravity
Miami sculptor Sinisa Kukec mines the laws of physics for emotional heft in his newest artworks.
December 03, 2012
A great fortune is a great indentured servant by Sinisa Kukec, 2012
“Instead of fighting gravity, how can I make it work for me?” muses Miami artist Sinisa Kukec. “What kind of accidents can I create?” That’s more than a merely abstract notion for Kukec, as evidenced by several of his pieces in “New Work Miami 2013,” a new group show surveying the Magic City at the Miami Art Museum. The gravity in question takes Kukec’s blend of vibrantly colored epoxies and sends them cascading down like unfurled tongues, draping objects such as a pair of intimately intertwined chairs. The net effect is akin to 3-D updates on Morris Louis’s color-field canvases from the late ’50s and early ’60s—like that fabled painter, Kukec is as interested in the process as in the finished result. It’s an approach that puts him in good company with several of the exhibition’s other studio-oriented artists, including sculptor Loriel Beltran and photographer Odalis Valdivieso—though unlike many of his peers, Kukec doesn’t hide behind postmodern artspeak in explaining his inspirations. One series of his works tackles a subject dear to many artists before the rise of academicism: a broken heart—Kukec’s own in this case, rendered in eye-popping shades via epoxy oozed down a large piece of paper and pooled on a Vaseline-smeared shelf attached at its bottom. Yet for all the pain supposedly channeled there, the end results are downright gorgeous, packing a viscerally pleasing punch that lingers long after you’ve left the museum. How to explain that dichotomy? “I can contradict myself in the same breath,” laughs Kukec. “It’s what being human is all about.” The opening celebration for “New Work Miami 2013” is December 6 at the Miami Art Museum, 101 W. Flagler St., Miami, 305-375-3000

Amy Ruth’s Restaurant
113 W 116th St, New York, NY
(212) 280-8779.
I think I might need to re-consider my position on this, however. Recently I had a chance to attend a event upstairs at Amy Ruth’s, a rather well-known Soul Food place in Harlem. After the event, Rachel and I decided to head downstairs and check out what was being served in the main dining room.
Despite torrential rainfall that evening, Amy Ruth’s was utterly packed — a testament as to how good this soul food place really is.
The warm cornbread was of the dense, sweet type. Definitely one of the better versions I’ve had.
Every item on the menu is named after a prominent Black American. The first item in the Waffles section, Fried Chicken and Waffles, is appropriately named “The Reverend Al Sharpton”
Smothered Fried Pork Chops, with a rich gravy. Served with Mac and Cheese and Yams. Rachel begged for the yams recipe, but couldn’t coax it out of them.
Honey Dipped fried Chicken with Greens and Mac ‘n Cheese. Its a big chicken breast, deep fried, and then dipped in honey. I have to say that this is probably one of the best fried chickens served in the city, albeit at $14 a plate. The greens are some of the best I’ve had anywhere, and they are actually a bit on the spicy side, with a good touch of vinegar and hot chile pepper in them.
Here’s a closer look.
Mmmm. Juicy.
I’m leaving for NYC tomorrow and Amy Ruth’s was on my list so I’m so glad to see you liked it. My friend,however, said that I should be going to Sylvias instead……have you been there?
I haven’t been to Sylvia’s yet. However, everything that I have heard about it within recent memory is that the place is resting on its laurels and their food is not what it used to be.
Sylvia’s – while deserving of respect for providing the neighborhood with years of delicious food from the heart, as well as being a boon to the community – is, indeed, not what it used to be. When in Harlem, I would head to any number of places, amongst them the M&G Diner on 125th or Londell’s, which, during the week, serves up Fried Chicken and Waffles for about 8 bucks. I’m not saying that the food is bad at Sylvia’s, but the best reason to check it out these days is for historical significance.
It looks fantastic. I wasn’t overly impressed with it personally and have recently found some new additions to the “soul food” restaurant arena that might be giving Amy Ruth’s some stiff competition and are less crowded.
DB, whereabouts?
damn that looks good. too bad i’m in l.a.
Sylvia`s was a major disappointment, 3 years ago. The food was really blah. On the other hand, the drinks were strong and delicious[gin & tonic]
Personally speaking, I remember Sylvia’s from the 70′s when I was very young and modeling with the Covette Mag. Co. on 125th, next to the Apollo. It was so good during those times.
I took my adult daughter there about 3 years back for her to taste my Harlem roots, and I did not enjoy the food at all. I’m a great soul food cook myself, even cook for family and friends events when they request certain dishes. My house is always the hang out (when I have time) because of my cooking (I use to think they really liked me :o)).
With that said, I guess I may be a little more picky than most, but I’m searching for a new Harlem hang out to bring some of my performing arts students for the experience. I think I will try Amy Ruths. I just saw them on TV.
Amy Ruth’s is delicious and the service is great as well. The only problem I have with it is that the tables are too close together! I get confused on who I’m dining with!! Request to sit upstairs, if possible. Much more spacious. As for Sylvia’s, its just a bunch of hype in my opinion. The food is mediocre and the service is poor to fair. There’s a dining area off from the main dining room that has very little air circulation. So if you go there during the summer – you’re hit. I was literally beaded with sweat. In my opinion that is unacceptable in an establishment that brings in the revenue that Sylvia’s does.
My husband & I spent New Years Even in NYC this year. NO ONE could have prepared us for Amy Ruth’s on a cold day in January. Walking and shopping in Harlem, we stopped at UPS to mail gifts home. We were starving, so we asked the UPS agent where’s the best place to eat nearby. He promptly directed us across the street to Amy Ruth’s. First, we were stunned how closed-in we felt. Tables so close we could hear other’s conversations! ohhh NYC! However, our southern discomfort soon changed to OMG! I believe we started talking to everyone in the packed lunch hour crowd. We were amazed at how sinfully GOOD the food was. We never had chicken & waffles TOGETHER; the yams made my husband cry, because it reminded him of his mother’s; the mac/cheese gave me a mindgasm; the cornbread – indescribable and OMG the freakin tea! NOTHING was wrong with anything we ate. The servers were pleasant and I was ready to pack & move to NYC!
I’m a native Texan and I thought we did it good and big down here!! Boy, was I wrong. The food was so dang good and the waiter really knew his stuff. I had the catfish and mac and cheese. It was great. Will be there soon!!! | http://offthebroiler.wordpress.com/2006/11/18/nyc-dining-amy-ruths-3/ | 2013-05-18T10:30:49 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

POTSDAM Despite his own reservations about surfing the Web, Daniel Z. Martin realized a better way of selling vegetables and other farm produce was in the smartphones and mobile devices he saw in the hands of his customers.
I see a significant number of them with Internet access. It creates an opportunity, Mr. Martin said. It got me thinking we ought to do something for our stand. The other thing my mind was working on was I see a lot of people trying to make a living out of what theyre raising.
Many local producers are on back roads, making it difficult for a buyer who, for example, wants organic carrots from one farmer and honey from another to make purchases.
Its a hard shopping experience, Mr. Martin said.
He has established a website,, featuring local products that will start taking orders in early May to coincide with the opening of his family stand at Needham Road near Potsdam.
Mr. Martin and his family might not give the outward appearance of being proponents of the Internet age; they are Christians with old-style ways of doing things, but they use more modern conveniences than Swartzentruber Amish, some of whom will sell at the market.
Theres a lot of Mennonite culture in us, Mr. Martin said. The question in our lives is what does God think? Is this a good wholesome thing to be doing?
Mr. Martin and members of his family are known for their creative solutions to agricultural questions. Mr. Martin invented a three-wheeled motorized harvester and his brother, Luray Z., built a solar-powered greenhouse.
Mr. Martin does not think of himself as a computer person. a little scary.
Shoppers will be able to use the site to pick and choose what they want and have it ready for them at a once-a-week pickup time at the stand.
This will allow you to customize what you need, Mr. Martin said.
Ordering online allows for fresher products, a larger selection than if going to a single farm, less chance that a trip is wasted and convenient ordering.
For producers, it will give them greater access to market and more flexibility.
Once the site is activated, buyers can put an item in their cart, just like any other online shopping experience, edit it, cancel the order or proceed to checkout. The inventory that is listed will deduct each time somebody orders so that the producer knows how much he has to deliver.
He can see in real time what has sold, Mr. Martin said. Inventory is not trapped and can be sold elsewhere.
The system could also be an advantage for the backyard grower who does not make a living at gardening but would like to sell the occasional bumper crop of cucumbers.
Mr. Martin sometimes buys extra produce from growers he knows if chemical sprays are not used. For the online market, he will offer produce grown with conventional fertilizer and sprays, so long as they are identified as such.
Theres a market for both. The main thing Im going to be demanding is honesty and ethical business practices, he said. This is about serving us in St. Lawrence County, our little growers.
Mr. Martin said he does not plan to solicit goods from far away but may make an exception for certain fruit not grown in the north country, or if it is clear where the produce comes from so that the consumer can make the choice. Most of the goods offered will be local because the cost of delivery is self-limiting.
Its a model that could grow as big as the capacity of our parking lot, he said. If it gets bigger, well make a bigger parking lot.

NBC4 meteorologist Ben Gelber was at the Ohio History Center today to research previous Ohio heat waves. Our extensive collection of Ohio newspapers provided numerous headlines about high temperatures in earlier decades, particularly the 1950s.
Watch the story online: Is Our Heat Wave a Record?
Stay cool! And be relieved that our current temperatures have not reached 113 degrees!
You honestly outdid yourself with this update.

:
As soon as everyone emptied out of the fest area and made their way to the campgrounds, chaos ensued. First, someone made a 25 foot bonfire in the middle of the campgrounds that everyone went to check out, including the security team. Everyone was chanting and screaming as they put out the fire. Then about 30 minutes later, half of the people in the camping area formed an impromptu parade and marched around in circles. In all of my festival experience, I have never seen a campsite so anarchic. You have to love punk rock kids.
There have been plenty of logistic failures as one would expect from a rookie fest, but nothing too serious. $3 Yuenglings are pretty cool. The fest area features just about everything you would see at a state fair, even featuring a ring toss game to win a live bunny. I really hope no festival attendee actually wins a bunny, because that would be a cruel fate for it.
For some reason, the press people think my request to get the password to their wireless internet I’m detecting is a joke, but I’m no stranger to guerrilla journalism and a resourceful blogger can’t be stopped. Now it is time for more music, further updates coming. Enjoy some images from yesterday:

Tee Rex is the cool showroom for local T-shirt company The Cotton Factory.
The Cotton Factory is run by a hopelessly geeky group of socially awkward charmers whose primary goal in life is to produce quality apparel for the masses. These are primarily shirts reflecting their interests include caffeine, skulls, roller derby, cheap takeout, birds, robots and ink.
The showroom and company are housed in a sleek, modern building decorated by items created by local artists.
The showroom is only open to the public for special events.

This story is at a preliminary stage so we should not reach conclusions. The following are hypotheses. We are going to test PC as a science theory of behavior. PC makes scientific assertions. Science is about testing hypotheses. Are PC hypotheses supported by data?
PC Hypo 1: Blacks and whites are identical to each other in their frequency distribution of behavior within group and across groups.
PC Hypo 1-S: Sexual behavior of blacks and whites is identical in frequency distribution.
PC Hypo 1-V: Violence behavior of blacks and whites is identical in frequency distribution between blacks and whites.
PC Hypo 1-SV Sex violence interaction behavior is identical in frequency distribution between blacks and whites.
We can contrast the PC hypotheses with hypotheses that there are differences in behavior for sex, violence, and their interaction and that these are partly genetic.
We can test the competing hypotheses with the Bureau of Justice Statistics information.
“Racial differences exist, with blacks disproportionately represented among homicide victims and offenders”
One should scroll down to see the graph at the bottom of white on black v. black on white homicides. The black on white is much higher.
Thus we reject the PC hypotheses that the frequency distribution of black and white behavior for violence is the same. Using the extensive data set at BJS we can reject all the PC hypotheses.{F3E3CD97-197F-4D31-BF36-A4CBA45FCB13}
“The Truth of Interracial Rape in the United States
By Lawrence Auster
FrontPageMagazine.com | Thursday, May 03, 2007″
quote from Auster.
end quote
Auster discusses some technical points related to this being a survey and the white on black rape number not being estimated well because of too few data points in the survey.
==Police claim confession in Meredith Kercher killing
“Detectives said that Amanda Knox, 20, an American student who had the bedroom next to Miss Kercher,confessed to a criminal act. Ms Knox’s boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, 23, from Bari, southern Italy, and Patrick Diya Lumumba, 37, of Perugia, are also being held.
Detectives said that they believed that Ms Kercher may have been killed after refusing to take part in a violent orgy. Police have said that they now consider the case to be cut and dried. “
“The body of Ms Kercher, 21, from Coulsdon, South London, was discovered last Friday under a duvet in her bedroom at the house she shared with Ms Knox. She was partially clothed and her throat had been cut, it is believed, with a penknife.”
“There were reports last night that Mr Lumumba, whose wife is Polish, had claimed to be the grandson of Patrice Lumumba, the revolutionary who became the first prime minister of the Republic of Congo in 1960. He was assassinated in 1961.”
==Follow up article on case
The American housemate of Meredith Kercher, who was murdered in Perugia, claimed that she heard the British student scream from another room but put her fingers in her ears, according to a witness statement that the Italian police has released to the media.
== Who is to blame?
The whole story is a tragedy. For both of the girls. Who is to blame? What was society saying in the weeks before this?
It was saying that James Watson, who discovered the structure of DNA, was a racist bigot crackpot to say that black intelligence was lower than white and that it was genetic.
quote
* The following is a poor translation: “When my daughter comes home with a lesbian girlfriend, a Muslim or a negro, I’ll know I raised her wrong. But it’s her own choice.” (May 10, 2007 Belgian paper Het Nieuwsblad)
The source of the preceding quote is the youth pages of the Belgian paper Het Nieuwsblad, May 10, 2007.
The interviewer asks: “What if your daughter comes home with…”
Filip interrupts her and says: “That is a classic. There are three versions of that question: what if she comes home with a lesbian, a practising Muslim or a Negro.”
He uses the Dutch word “neger” which does not have the same negative connotation as “negro” in English (although under the influence of political correctness imported from the US it is rapidly becoming politically incorrect in Holland and Flanders as well)
Filip completes this by stating that he would explain that it is hard enough to make a marriage successful when both parties are from similar backgrounds and much harder from disparate cultures, but in the end it would be the daughter’s choice.
end quote
Dewinter was being called racist for saying this. What message did that sent to Ms. Knox? Wasn’t society lying to her? Wasn’t she not being told the truth? We are testing the PC hypotheses. Were the PC hypotheses being fed to Ms. Knox and as a result she put herself into a situation where partly genetic coded behavior for sex and violence was different between the parties leading to the murder?
Shouldn’t the people in the MSM and elsewhere who were reinforcing PC hypotheses already refuted by DOJ statistics be responsible for misleading Ms. Knox? Isn’t her problem that she believed the PC hypotheses instead of being taught the DOJ statistics and graphs? If her father had taught her the BJS graphs and had taught her that “racial differences exist” in violence and sex, then she would have been better prepared?
Do the people who attacked Watson as a bigot and Dewinter as a bigot owe an apology to Ms. Knox and to Ms. Kercher, or her parents? Aren’t they responsible for pushing aside discussion of the data and statistics on the BJS webpage that shows the frequency distribution of behavior in sex, violence, and their interaction is different between blacks and whites?

Black Illegitimacy Rate Declines
by Steve Sailer
UPI, June 27, 2003
“Last year, 68.0 percent of the black women who had babies were unmarried, down from 68.4 percent in 2001. The peak was 70.4 percent in 1994.”
We are looking at very different rates of illegitimacy. These are not consistent with the PC hypotheses that the frequency distribution of black and white sexual behavior is the same. But what was Ms. Knox hearing from the MSM or PC blogs? Was she hearing Steve Sailer statistics? Was she hearing BJS statistics? Or was she being told the very PC hypotheses that these statistics are not consistent with? Who is responsible for Ms. Knox being misled? Who is responsible for Meredith Kercher’s death? James Watson? Filip Dewinter? Vlaams Belang? Or their critics who crowded out Steve Sailer statistics and BJS statistics with the PC hypotheses that are inconsistent with the data? | http://oldatlanticlighthouse.wordpress.com/category/pc-hypothesis-tests/ | 2013-05-18T10:40:51 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

. [The Direct and Inverse Deductive Methods] After what has been said to illustrate the nature of the inquiry intoa social phenomena, the general character of the method proper to that inquiry is sufficiently evident, and needs only to be recapitulated, not proved. However complex the phenomena, all their sequences and coexistences result from the laws of the separate elements. The effectb towards the effect. The Social Science, therefore (whichc, by a convenient barbarism, has been termedc Sociology,) is a deductive science; not, indeed, after the model of geometry, but after that of the dmore complexd physical sciences. It infers the law of each effect from the laws of causation on which ethat effecte depends; not, however, from the law merely of one cause, as in the geometrical method; but by considering all the causes which conjunctly influence the effect, and compounding their laws with one another. Its method, in short, is the Concrete Deductive Method; that of which astronomy furnishes the most perfect, natural philosophy a somewhat less perfect example, and the employment of which, with the adaptations and precautions required by the subject, is beginning to regenerate physiology.
Nor does it admit of doubt, that similar adaptations and precautions are indispensable in sociology. In applying, to that most complex of all studies, what is demonstrably the sole method capable of throwing the light of science even upon phenomena of a far inferior degree of complication, we ought to be aware that the same superior complexity which renders the instrument of Deduction more necessary, renders it also more precarious; and we must be prepared to meet, by appropriate contrivances, this increase of difficulty.
The actions and feelings of human beings in the social state, are, no doubt, entirely governed by psychological and ethological laws: whatever influence any cause exercises upon the social phenomena, it exercises through those laws. Supposing therefore the laws of human actions and feelings to be sufficiently known, there is no extraordinary difficulty in determining from those laws, the nature of the social effects which any given cause tends to produce. But when the question is that of compounding several tendencies together, and computing the aggregate result of many coexistent causes; and especially when, by attempting to predict what will actually occur in a given case, we incur the obligation of estimating and compoundingf the influences of all the causes which happen to exist in that case; we attempt a task to proceed far in which,g surpasses the compass of the human faculties.
If all the resources of science are not sufficient to enable us to calculate à priori, with complete precision, the mutual action of three bodies gravitating towards one another; it may be judged with what hprospecth of success we should endeavouri to calculate the result of the conflicting tendencies which are acting in a thousand different directions and promoting a thousand different changes at a given instant in a given society: although we might and ought to be able, from the laws of human nature, to distinguish correctly enough the tendencies themselves, so far as they depend on causes accessible to our observation; and to determine the direction which each of them, if acting alone, would impress upon society, as well as, in a general way at least, to pronounce that some of these tendencies are more powerful than others.
But, without dissembling the necessary imperfections of the à priori method when applied to such a subject, neither ought we, on the other hand, to exaggerate them. The same objections, which apply to the Method of Deduction in this its most difficult employment, apply to it, as we formerly showed,* in its easiest; and would even there have been insuperable, if there had not existed, as was then fully explained, an appropriate remedy. This remedy consists in the process which, under the name of Verification, we have characterized as the third essential constituent part of the Deductive Method; that of collating the conclusions of the ratiocination either with the concrete phenomena themselves, or, when such are obtainable, with their empirical laws. The ground of confidence in any concrete deductive science is not the à priori reasoning jitself, but the accordancej between its results and those of observation à posteriori.kEitherk of these processes, lapartl from the other, diminishes in value as the subject increases in complication, and this in so rapid a ratio as soon to become entirely worthlessm; but them reliance to be placed in the concurrence of the two sorts of evidence, not only does not diminish in anything like the same proportion, but is not necessarily much diminished at all. nNothing more results thann a disturbance in the order of precedency of the two processes, sometimes amounting to its actual inversion: insomuch that instead of deducing our conclusions by reasoning, and verifying them by observation, we in some cases obegin by obtainingo them pprovisionallyp from specific experience, and qafterwards connect them with the principles of human nature by à priori reasonings, which reasonings are thus aq real Verification.
Ther only sthinkers who, with a competent knowledge of tscientific methods in generalt , has attempted to characterize the Method of Sociology, M. Comte, considers this inverse order as inseparably inherent in the nature of sociological speculation. He looks upon the social science as essentially consisting of generalizations from history, verified, not originally suggested, by deduction from the laws of human nature.[*]uThough there is a truth contained in this opinion, of whichu I shall presently endeavour to show the vimportancev , I cannot but think that this truth is enunciated in too unlimited a manner, and that there is considerable scope in sociological inquiry for the direct, as well as for the inverse, Deductive Method.
It will, in fact, be shown in the next chapter, that there is a kind of sociological inquiries to which, from their prodigious complication, the method of direct deduction is altogether inapplicable, while by a happy compensation it is precisely in these cases that we are able to obtain the best empirical laws: to these inquiries, therefore, the Inverse Method is exclusively adapted. But there are also, as will presently appear, other cases in which it is impossible to obtain from direct observation anything worthy the name of an empirical law; and it fortunately happens that these are the very cases in which the Direct Method is least affected by the objection which undoubtedly must always affect it in a certain degree.
We shall begin, then, by looking at wthe Social Sciencew as a science of direct Deduction, and considering what can be accomplished in it, and under what limitations, by that mode of investigation. We shall, then, in a separate chapter, examine and endeavour to characterize the inverse process.
§ 2. [Difficulties of the Direct Deductive Method in the Social Science] It is aevident, in the first place,a bapproximatelyb , all the agencies which may coexist with it, and still less calculate the collective result of so many combined elements. The remark, however, must here be once more repeated, that knowledge insufficient for prediction may be most valuable for guidance. It is not necessary for the wise conduct of the affairs of society, no more than of any cone’sc private concerns, that we should be able to foresee infallibly the results of what we do. We must seek our objects by means which may perhaps be defeated, and take precautions against dangers which possibly may never be realized. The aim of practical politics is to surround dany given societyd with the greatest possible number of circumstances of which the tendencies are beneficial, and to remove or counteract, as far as practicable, those of which the tendencies are injurious. A knowledge of the tendencies only, though without the power of accurately predicting their conjunct result, gives us to a econsiderablee extent this power.
It would, however, be an error to suppose that even with respect to tendencies, we could arrive in this manner at any great number of propositions which will be true in all societies without exception. fSuch a supposition would be inconsistent withf the eminently modifiable nature of the social phenomena, and the multitude and variety of the circumstances by which they are modified; circumstances never the same, or even nearly the same, in two different societies, or in two different periods of the same society. This would not be so serious an obstacle if, though the causes acting upon society in general are numerous, those which influence any one feature of society were limited in number; for we might then insulate any particular social phenomenon, and investigate its laws without disturbance from the rest. But the truth is the very opposite of this. Whatever affects, in an appreciable degree, any one element of the social state, affects through it all the other elements. The mode of production of all social phenomena is one great case of Intermixture of Laws. phenomenag. There is, in short, what physiologists term a consensus,g similar to that existing among the various organs and functions of the physical frame of man and the more perfect animals; and constituting one of the many analogies which have rendered universal such expressions as the “body politic” and “body natural.” It follows from this consensus, that unless two societies could be alike in all the circumstances which surround and influence them, (which would imply their being alike in their previous history,) no portion whatever of htheh phenomena will, unless by accident, precisely correspond; no one cause will produce exactly the same ieffectsi in both. jEvery cause, as its effect spreads through society, comes somewhere in contact with different sets of agencies, and thus hasj its effects on some of the social phenomena differently modified; and these differences, by their reaction, produce a difference even in those of the effects which would otherwise have been the same. We can never, therefore, affirm with certainty that a cause which has a particular tendency in one people or in one age will have exactly the same tendency in another, without referring back to our premises, and performing over again for the second age or nation, that analysis of the whole of its influencing circumstances which we had already performed for the first. The deductive science of society kwillk not lay down a theorem, asserting in an universal manner the effect of any cause; but lwill rather teachl us how to frame the proper theorem for the circumstances of any given case. It mwill not givem the laws of society in general, but the means of determining the phenomena of any given society from the particular elements or data of that society.
All the general propositions nwhich can be framed byn the deductive science, are therefore, in the strictest sense of the word, hypothetical. They are grounded on some supposititious set of circumstances, and declare how some given cause owould operate in those circumstances, supposing that no others wereo combined with them. If the set of circumstances supposed have been pcopiedp from those of any existing society, the conclusions will be true of that society, provided, and in as far as, the effect of those circumstances shall not be modified by others which have not been taken into the account. If we desire a nearer approach to concrete truth, we can only aim at it by taking, or endeavouring to take, a greater number of individualizing circumstances into the computation.
Considering, however, in how accelerating a ratio the uncertainty of our conclusions increases, as we attempt to take the effect of a greater number of concurrent causes into our calculations; the hypothetical combinations of circumstances on which we construct the general theorems of the science, cannot be made very complex, without so rapidly-accumulating a liability to error as must soon deprive our conclusions of all value. This mode of inquiry, considered as a means of obtaining general propositions, must, therefore, on pain ofq frivolity, be limited to those classes of social facts which, though influenced like the rest by all sociological agents, are under the immediate influence, principally at least, of a few only.
§ 3. [To what extent the different branches of sociological speculation can be studied apart. Political Economy characterized] Notwithstanding the universal consensus of the social phenomena, whereby nothing which takes place in any part of the operations of society is without its share of influence on every other part; and notwithstanding the paramount ascendancy which the general state of civilization and social progress in any given society must hence exercise over all the partial and subordinate phenomena; it is not the less true that different species of social facts are in the main dependent, immediately and in the first resort, on different kinds of causes; and therefore not only may with advantage, but must, be studied apart: just as in the natural body we study separately the physiology and pathology of each of the principal organs and tissues, though every one is acted upon by the astatea of all the others: and though the peculiar constitution and general state of health of the organism co-operates with, and often preponderates over, the local causes, in determining the state of any particular organ.
On these considerations is grounded the existence of distinct and separate, though not independent, branches or departments of sociological speculation.
There is, for example, one large class of social phenomena, in which the immediately determining causes are principally those which act through the desire of wealth; and in which the psychological law mainly concerned is the familiar one, that a greater gain is preferred to a smaller. I mean, of course, that portion of the phenomena of society which emanate from the industrial, or productive, operations of mankind; and from those of their acts through which the distribution of the products of those industrial operations takes place, in so far as not effected by force, or modified by voluntary gift. bBy reasoning from that one law of human nature, and from the principal outward circumstances (whether universal or confined to particular states of society) which operate upon the human mind through that law, we may be enabledb to explain and predict this portion of the phenomena of society, so far as they depend on that class of circumstances only; overlooking the influence of any other of the circumstances of society; and therefore neither tracing back the circumstances which cwe doc take into account, to their possible origin in some other facts in the social state, nor making allowance for the manner in which any of those other circumstances may interfere with, and counteract or modify, the effect of the former. dA department of science may thus be constructed, whichd has received the name of Political Economy.
The motive which suggests the separation of this portion of the social phenomena from the rest, and the creation of a distinct ebranch ofe science relating to them is,—that they do mainly depend, at least in the first resort, on one class of circumstances only; and that even when other circumstances interfere, the ascertainment of the effect due to the one class of circumstances alone, is a sufficiently intricate and difficult business to make it expedient to perform it once for all, and then fallow forf the effect of the modifying circumstances; especially as certain fixed combinations of the former are apt to recur often, in conjunction with ever-varying circumstances of the latter class.
Political Economy, as I have said on another occasion, concerns itself only with costly indulgences. These it takes, to a certain extent, into its calculations, because these do not merely, like. Under the influence of this desire, it shows mankind accumulating wealth, and employing thatmotives already specified. Not that any political economist was ever so absurd as to suppose that mankind are really thus constituted, but because this is the mode in which science must necessarily proceed. When an effect depends on a concurrence of causes, gprojectileg. hWith respect to those parts of human conduct of which wealth is not even the principal object,h. In this way a nearer approximation is obtained than would otherwise be practicable to the real order of human affairs in those departments. This approximation.*
iExtensive and important practical guidancei may be derived, in any given state of society, from general propositions such as those above indicated; even though the modifying influence of the miscellaneous causes which the theory does not take into account, as well as the effect of the general social changes in progress, jbe provisionally overlookedj . And though it has been a very common error of political economists to draw conclusions from the elements of one state of society, and apply them to other states in which many of the elements are not the same; it is even then not difficult, by tracing back the demonstrations, and introducing the new premises in their proper places, to make the same general course of argument which served for the one case, serve for the others too.
For example, it has been greatly the custom of English political economists to discuss thek laws of the distribution of the produce of industry, on a supposition which is scarcely realized anywhere out of England and Scotland, namely, that the produce is
shared among three classes, altogether distinct from one another, labourers, capitalists, and landlords; and that all these are free agents, permitted in law and in fact to set upon their labour, their capital, and their land, whatever price they are able to get for it. The conclusions of the science, being all adapted to a society thus constituted, require to be revised whenever they are applied to any other. They are inapplicable where the only capitalists are the landlords, and the labourers are their property, as in slave countries. They are inapplicable where the lalmostl universal landlord is the state, as in India. They are inapplicable where the agricultural labourer is generally the owner both of the land itself and of the capital, as mfrequentlym in France, or of the capital only, as in Ireland.
But though it may often be nveryn justly objected to the existing race of political economists “that they attempt to construct a permanent fabric out of transitory materials; that they take for granted the immutability of arrangements of society, many of which are in their nature fluctuating or progressive, and enunciate with as little qualification as if they were universal and absolute truths, propositions which are perhaps applicable to no state of society except the particular one in which the writer happened to live;” this does not take away the value of the propositions, considered with reference to the state of society from which they were drawn. And even as applicable to other states of society, “it must not be supposed that the science is so incomplete and unsatisfactory as this might seem to prove. Though many of its conclusions are only locally true, its method of investigation is applicable universallyo; and as whoevero has solved a certain number of algebraic equations, can without difficulty solve all others of the same kind, so pwhoeverp knows the political economy of England, or even of Yorkshire, knows that of all nations, actual or possible, provided he have good sense enough not to expect the same conclusion to issue from varying premises.” Whoever qhas mastered with the degree of precision which is attainableq the laws which, under free competition, determine the rent, profits, and wages, received by landlords, capitalists, and labourers, in a state of society in which the three classes are completely separate, will have no difficulty in determining the very different laws which regulate the distribution of the produce among the classes interested in it, in any of the states of cultivation and landed property set forth in the foregoing extract.*
§ 4. [Political Ethology, or the science of national character] peculiar class of causes, to make it convenient to create a preliminary science of those causes; postponing the consideration of the causes which act through them, or in concurrence with them, to a later period of the inquiry. There is however among these separate departments one which cannot be passed over in silence, being of a more comprehensive and commanding character than any of the other branches into which the social science may admit of being divided. Like them, it is directly conversant with the causes of only one class of social facts, but a class which exercises, immediately or remotely, a paramount influence over the rest. I allude to what may be termed Political Ethology, or the atheorya of the causes which determine the type of character belonging to a people or to an age. Of all the subordinate branches of the social science, this is the most completely in its infancy. The causes of national character are scarcely at all understood, and the effect of institutions or social arrangements upon bthe character of the peopleb is generally that portion of their effects which is least attended to, and least comprehended. Nor is this wonderful, when we consider the infant state of the Science of Ethology itself, from whence the laws must be drawn, of which the truths of political ethology ccan bec but results and exemplifications.
Yet to whoever well considers the matter, it must appear that the laws of national d(or collective)d character are by far the most important class of sociological laws. In the first place, the character which is formed by any state of social circumstances is in itself the most interesting phenomenon which that state of society can possibly present. Secondly, it is also a fact which enters largely into the production of all the other phenomena. And above all, the character, that is, the opinions, feelings, and habits, of the people, though greatly the results of the state of society which precedes them, are also greatly the causes of the state of society which follows them; and are the power by which all those of the circumstances of society which are artificial, laws and customs for instance, are altogether moulded: customs evidently, laws no less really, either by the direct influence of public sentiment upon the ruling powers, or by the effect which the state of national opinion and feeling has in determining the form of government, and shaping the character of the governors.
As might be expected, the most imperfect part of those branches of esocial inquirye which have been cultivated as separate sciences, is the theory of the manner in which their conclusions are affected by ethological considerations. The omission is no defect in them as abstract or hypothetical sciences, but it vitiates them in their practical application as branches of faf, like his countrymen in general, has seldom learned that it is possible that men, in conducting the business of selling their goods over a counter, should care more about their ease or their vanity than about their pecuniary gain. Yet those who know the habits of the Continent of Europe are aware how apparently small a motive often outweighs the desire of money-getting, even in the operations which have money-getting for their direct object. The more highly the science of ethology is cultivated, and the better the diversities of gindividual andg national character are understood, the smaller, probably, will the number of propositions become, which it will be considered safe to build on as universal principles of human nature.
These considerations show that the process of dividing off the social science into compartments, in order that each may be studied separately, and its conclusions afterwards corrected for practice by the modifications supplied by the others, must be subject to at least one important limitation. Those portions alone of the social phenomena can with advantage hbe madeh the subjects, even provisionally, of distinct branches of science, into which the diversities of character between different nations or different itimesi enter as influencing causes only in a secondary degree. Those phenomena, on the contrary, with which the influences of the ethological state of the people are mixed up at every step (so that the connexion of effects and causes cannot be even rudely marked out without taking those influences into consideration) could not with any advantage, nor without great disadvantage, be treated independently of political ethology, nor, therefore, of all the circumstances by which the qualities of a people are influenced. For this reason (as well as for others which will hereafter appear) there can be no separate Science of Government; that jbeingj the fact which, of all others, is most mixed up, both as cause and effect, with the qualities of the particular people or of the particular age. All questions respecting the tendencies of forms of government must stand part of the general science of society, not of any separate branch of it.
This general Science of Society, as distinguished from the separate departments of the science (each of which asserts its conclusions only conditionally, subject to the paramount control of the laws of the general science) know remains to be characterizedk . And as will be shown presently, nothing of a really scientific character is here possible, except by the inverse deductive method. But before we quit the subject of those sociological speculations which proceed by way of direct deduction, we must examine in what relation they stand to that indispensable element in all deductive sciences, Verification by Specific Experience—l comparison between the conclusions of reasoning and the results of observation.
§ 5. [The Empirical Laws of the Social Science] We have seen that, in most deductive sciences, and among the rest in Ethology itself, which is the immediate foundation of the Social Science, a preliminary work of preparation is performed on the observed facts, to fit them for being rapidly and accurately collated (sometimes even for being collated at all) with the conclusions of theory. This preparatory treatment consists in finding general propositions which express concisely what is common to large classes of observed facts: and these are called the empirical laws of the phenomena. We have, athereforea , to inquire, whether any similar preparatory process can be performed on the facts of the social science; whether there are any empirical laws in history or statistics.
In statistics, it is evident that empirical laws may sometimes be traced; andb the tracing them forms an important part of that system of indirect observation on which we must often rely for the data of the Deductive Science. The process of the science consists in inferring effects from their causes; but we have often no means of observing the causes, except through the medium of their effects. cIn such cases the deductive science isc unable to predict the effects, for want of the necessary data; it can ddetermined what causes are capable of producing any given effect, but not with what frequency and in what quantities those causes exist. An instance in point is afforded by a newspaper now lying before me. A statement was furnished by one of the official assignees in bankruptcy, showing, among the various bankruptcies which it had been his duty to investigate, in how many cases the losses had been caused by misconduct of different kinds, and in how many by unavoidable misfortunes. The result was, that the number of failures caused by misconduct greatly preponderated over those arising from all other causes whatever. Nothing but specific experience could have given sufficient ground for a conclusion to this purport. To collect, therefore, such empirical laws (which are never more than approximate generalizations) from direct observation, is an important part of the process of sociological inquiry.
The experimental process is not here to be regarded as a distinct road to the truth, but as a means (happening accidentally to be the only, or the best, available) for obtaining the enecessary data for the deductive sciencee . When the immediate causes of social facts are not open to direct observation, the empirical law of the effects gives us the empirical law (which in that case is all that we can obtain) of the causes likewise. But those immediate causes depend on remote causes; and the empirical law, obtained by this indirect mode of observation, can only be relied on as applicable to unobserved cases, so long as there is reason to think that no change has taken place in any of the remote causes on which the immediate causes depend. In making use, therefore, of even the best statistical generalizations for the purpose of inferring (though it be only conjecturally) that the same empirical laws will hold in any new case, it is necessary that we bef well acquainted with the remoter causes, in order that we mayg avoid applying the empirical law to cases which differ in any of the circumstances on which the truth of the law ultimately depends. And thus, even where conclusions derived from specific observation are available for practical inferences in new cases, it is necessary that the deductive science should stand sentinel over the whole process; that it should be constantly referred to, and its sanction obtained to every inference.
The same thing holds true of all generalizations which can be grounded on history. Not only there are such generalizations, but it will presently be shown that the general science of society, which inquires into the laws of succession and coexistence of the great facts constituting the state of society and civilization at any time, can proceed in no other manner than by making such generalizations—afterwards to be confirmed by connecting them with the psychological and ethological laws on which they must really depend.
§ 6. [The Verification of the Social Science] But (reserving this question for its proper place) in those more speciala inquiries which form the subject of the separate branches of the social science, this twofold logical process and reciprocal verification is not possible: specific experience affords nothing amounting to empirical laws. This is particularly the case where the object is to determine the effect of any one bsocialb cause among a great number acting simultaneously; the effect, for example, of corn laws, or of a prohibitive commercial system generally. Though it may be perfectly certain, from theory, what kind of effects corn laws must produce, and in what general direction their influence must tellc upon industrial prosperity; their effect is yet of necessity so much disguised by the similar or contrary effects of dother influencing agentsd , that specific experience can at most only show that eone the average of some great number of instances, the cases where there were corn laws exhibited the effect in a greater degree than those where there were not. Now the number of instances necessary to fexhaustf the whole round of combinations of the various influential circumstances, and thus afford a fair average, never can be obtainedg. Not only we can never learn with sufficient authenticity the facts of so many instances, butg the world itself does not afford them in sufficient numbers, within the limits of the given state of society and civilization which such inquiries always presuppose. Having thus no previous empirical generalizations with which to collate the conclusions of theory, the only mode of direct verification which remains is to compare those conclusions with the result of an individual experiment or instance. But here the difficulty is equally great. For in order to verify a theory by an experiment, the circumstances of the experiment must be exactly the same with those contemplated in the theory. But in social phenomena the circumstances of no two hcasesh are exactly alike. A trial of corn laws in another country or in a former generation, would go a very little way towards verifying iai conclusion drawn respecting their effect in this generation and in this country. It thus happens, in most cases, that the only jindividual instance really fitted to verify the predictions of theory is the veryj instance for which the predictions were made; and the verification comes too late to be of any avail for practical guidance.
Although, however, direct verification is impossible, there is an indirect verification, which is scarcely of less value, and which is always practicable. kThe conclusion drawn as to the individual case, can only be directly verified in that casek ; but it is verified indirectly, by the verification of other conclusions, drawn in other individual cases from the same laws. The experience which comes too late to verify the particular proposition to which it refers, is not too late to help towards verifying the general sufficiency of the theory. The test of the degree in which the science affords safe ground for predicting (and consequently for practically dealing with) what has not yet happened, is the degree in which it would have enabled us to predict what has actually occurred. Before our theory of the influence of a particular cause, in a given state of circumstances, can be lentirelyl trusted, we must be able to explain and account for the existing state of all that portion of the social phenomena which that cause has a tendency to influence. If, for instance, we would apply our speculations in political economy to the prediction or guidance of the phenomena of any country, we must be able to explain all the mercantile or industrial facts of a general character, appertaining to the present state of that country: to point out causes sufficient to account for all of them, and prove, or show good ground for supposing, that mthesem cause nhave really existedn . If we cannot do this, it is a proof either that the facts which ought to be taken into accounto are not yet completely known to us, or that although we know the facts, we are not masters of a sufficiently perfect theory to enable us to assign their consequences. In either case we are not, in the present state of our knowledge, pfully competent to draw conclusions,p speculative or practical, for that country. In like manner, if we would attempt to judge of the effect which any political institution would have, supposing that it could be introduced into any given country; we must be able to show that the existing state of the practical government of that country, and of whatever else depends thereon, together with the particular character and tendencies of the people, and their state in respect to the various elements of social well-being, are such as the institutions they have lived under, in conjunction with the other circumstances of their nature or of their position, were calculated to produce.
qTo prove (in short)q that our science, and our knowledge of the particular case, render us competent to predict the future, we must show that they would have enabled us to predict the present and the past. If there be anything which we could not have predicted, this constitutes a residual phenomenon, requiring further study for the purpose of explanation; and we must either search among the circumstances of the particular case until we find one which, on the principles of our existing theory, accounts for the unexplained phenomenon, or we must turn back, and seek the explanation by an extension and improvement of the theory itself.

much has been said and so much written concerning Adam, his wife, the pre-Adamites, etc., and the rabbis have put forth so many idle stories respecting Adam, and it is so dull to repeat what others have said before, that I shall here hazard an idea entirely new; one, at least, which is not to. Still they were very little known; for large books were very rare and very dear. Besides, the Jewsfian.
The historian Josephus confesses, in his answer to Appian, that the Jews had not long had any intercourse with other nations: “We inhabit,” says he, “a country distant from the sea; we do not apply ourselves to commerce, nor have we any communication with other nations. Is it to be wondered at that our people, very little when compared with the multitude of books preserved in the library of Alexandria, half of which were burned in Cæsar’s war.
It is certain that the Jews had written and read very little; that they were profoundly ignorant of astronomy, geometry, geography, and physics; that they knew nothing of the history of other nations; and that in Alexandria they first began to learn. Their language was a barbarous mixture of ancient Phœn that Abraham Mahomet. especially by Homer, who speak of everything except the authors of the human race. Clement of Alexandria, who collected so many ancient testimonies,, sufficiently clear that they were always utterly unknown to the nations.
We do, it is true, find among the Brahmins, in the book entitled the “Ezourveidam,” the names of Adimo and of Procriti, his wife. But though Adimo has some little resemblance to our Adam, the Indians say: “We were a great people established on the banks of the Indus and the Ganges many ages before the Hebrew horde moved towards the Jordan. The Egyptians, the Persians, and the Arabs came to us for wisdom and spices when the Jews were unknown to the rest of mankind. We cannot have taken our Adimo from their Adam; our Procriti does not in the least resemble Eve; besides, their history and ours are entirely different.
“Moreover, the ‘Veidam,’ on which the ‘Ezourveidam’ is a commentary, is believed by us to have been composed at a more remote period of antiquity than the Jewish books; and the ‘Veidam’ itself is a newer law given to the Brahmins, fifteen hundred years after their first law, called Shasta or Shastabad.”
Such, or nearly such, are the answers which the Brahmins of the present day have often made to the chaplains of merchant vessels who have talked to them of Adam and Eve, and Cain and Abel, when the traders of Europe have gone, with arms in their hands, to buy their spices and lay waste their country.
The Phœnician Sanchoniathon, who certainly lived before the period at which we place Moses, and who is quoted by Eusebius as an authentic writer, gives ten generations to the human race, as does Moses, down to the time of Noah; but, in these ten generations, he mentions neither Adam nor Eve, nor any of their descendants, not even Noah himself. The names, according to the Greek translation by Philo of Biblos, are Æon, Genos, Phox, Liban, Usou, Halieus, Chrisor, Tecnites, Agrove, Amine; these are the first ten generations.
We do not see the name of Noah or of Adam in any of the ancient dynasties of Egypt: they are not to be found among the Chaldæ Cæsar,aphet, and their wives. All this family descended in a right line from Adam.”
Cicero, would, doubtless, have inquired for the great monuments, the indisputable testimonies which Noah and his children had left of our common father. “After the; and have you known so great a secret, yet concealed it from us?” The Jew would have answered: “It is because we are pure and you are impure.” The Roman senate would have laughed and the Jew would have been whipped; so much are men attached to their prejudices!
The pious Madame de Bourignon was sure that Adam was an hermaphrodite, like the first men of the divine Plato. God had revealed a great secret to her; but as I have not had the same revelation, I shall say nothing of the matter.
The Jewish rabbis have read Adam’s books, and know the names of his preceptor and his second wife; but as I have not read our first parent’s books, I shall remain silent. Some acute and very learned persons are quite astonished when they read the “Veidam” of the ancient Brahmins, to find that the first man was created in India, and called Adimo, which signifies the begetter, and his wife, Procriti, signifying life. They say the sect of the Brahmins is incontestably more ancient than that of the Jews; that it was not until a late period that the Jews could write in the Canaanitish language, since it was not until late that they established themselves in the little country of Canaan. They say the Indians were always inventors, and the Jews always imitators; the Indians always ingenious, and the Jews always rude. They say it is difficult to believe that Adam, who was fair and had hair on his head, was father to the negroes, who are entirely black, and have black wool. What, indeed, do they not say? As for me, I say nothing; I leave these researches to the Reverend Father Berruyer of the Society of Jesus. He is the most perfect Innocent I have ever known; the book has been burned, as that of a man who wished to turn the Bible into ridicule; but I am quite sure he had no such wicked end in view.
The age for inquiring seriously whether or not knowledge was infused into Adam had passed by; those who so long agitated the question had no knowledge, either infused or acquired. It is as difficult to know at what time the Book of Genesis, which speaks of Adam, was written, as it is to know the date of the “Veidam,” of the “Sanskrit,” or any other of the ancient Asiatic books. It is important to remark that the Jews were not permitted to read the first chapter of Genesis before they were twenty-five years old. Many rabbis have regarded the formation of Adam and Eve and their adventure as an allegory. Every celebrated nation of antiquity has imagined some similar one; and, by a singular concurrence, which marks the weakness of our nature, all have endeavored to explain the origin of moral and physical evil by ideas nearly alike. The Chaldæans, the Indians, the Persians and the Egyptians have accounted, in similar ways, for that mixture of good and evil which seems to be a necessary appendage to our globe. The Jews, who went out of Egypt, rude as they were, had heard of the allegorical philosophy of the Egyptians. With the little knowledge thus acquired, they afterwards mixed that which they received from the Phœnicians and from the Babylonians during their long slavery. But as it is natural and very common for a rude nation to imitate rudely the conceptions of a polished people, it is not surprising that the Jews imagined a woman formed from the side of a man, the spirit of life breathed from the mouth of God on the face of Adam—the Tigris, the Euphrates, the Nile and the Oxus, having all the same source in a garden, and the forbidden fruit, which brought death into the world, as well as physical and moral evil. Full of the idea which prevailed among the ancients, that the serpent was a very cunning animal, they had no great difficulty in endowing it with understanding and speech.
This people, who then inhabited only a small corner of the earth, which they believed to be long, narrow and flat, could easily believe that all men came from Adam. They did not even know that the negroes, with a conformation different from their own, inhabited immense regions; still less could they have any idea of America.
It is, however, very strange that the Jewish people were permitted to read the books of Exodus, where there are so many miracles that shock reason, yet were not permitted to read before the age of twenty-five the first chapter of Genesis, in which all is necessarily a miracle, since the creation is the subject. Perhaps it was because God, after creating the man and woman in the first chapter, makes them again in another, and it was thought expedient to keep this appearance of contradiction from the eyes of youth. Perhaps it is because it is said that God made man in his own image, and this expression gave the Jews too corporeal an idea of God. Perhaps it was because it is said that God took a rib from Adam’s side to form the woman, and the young and inconsiderate, feeling their sides, and finding the right number of ribs, might have suspected the author of some infidelity. Perhaps it was because God, who always took a walk at noon in the garden of Eden, laughed at Adam after his fall, and this tone of ridicule might tend to give youth too great a taste for pleasantry. In short, every line of this chapter furnishes very plausible reasons for interdicting the reading of it; but such being the case, one cannot clearly see how it was that the other chapters were permitted. It is, besides, surprising that the Jews were not to read this chapter until they were twenty-five. One would think that it should first have been proposed to childhood, which receives everything without examination, rather than to youth, whose pride is to judge and to laugh. On the other hand, the Jews of twenty-five years of age, having their judgments prepared and strengthened, might be more fitted to receive this chapter than inexperienced minds. We shall say nothing here of Adam’s second wife, named Lillah, whom the ancient rabbis have given him. It must be confessed that we know very few anecdotes of our family. | http://oll.libertyfund.org/?option=com_staticxt&staticfile=show.php%3Ftitle=352&chapter=53688&layout=html&Itemid=27 | 2013-05-18T11:06:42 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

< Vancouver 2010
2010 Winter Olympics and the 2010 Paralympics in Vancouver were Miga and Quatchi, and Sumi respectively, who had a sidekick named Mukmuk. Designed by the Candian and American duo Meomi Design [1], the mascots were revealed on November 27, 2007 to 800 schoolchildren at the Bell Centre For Performing Arts in Surrey, British Columbia. It marked the first time that both the Olympic and Paralympic mascots were revealed simultaneously, as well as the first time they had an official sidekick.
Miga and QuatchiEditMiga and Quatchi were the official mascots of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.
Miga (left) is a mythical sea bear, part orca and part kermode bear living off the coast of Vancouver Island. She loves to surf in the summer, especially in Tofino, and snowboard in the winter. Her green scarf was given to her by Mukmuk.
Quatchi is a sasquatch. He comes from the mysterious forests of Canada, wears blue earmuffs, and dreams of being a hockey goalie. He loves to travel and learn about the regional dances and cuisines of every place he visits. He carries his camera around his neck wherever he goes.
SumiEditSumi was the official mascot of the 2010 Paralympic Games in Vancouver. He's an animal guardian spirit with the wings of the Thunderbird and legs of a black bear who wears an orca-like hat in an artistic style of Haida people. He lives in the mountains of British Columbia and is a passionate environmentalist. His name comes from the Salish word "sumesh," meaning "guardian spirit."
MukmukEditMukmuk was a sidekick to the aforementioned mascots. He is a marmot from Vancouver Island described as "small and friendly". As of December 2008 he has joined the other mascots as a plush toy, but not yet a life-size mascot costume. His name comes from the Chinuk Wawa word "muckamuck," meaning "food" or "to eat", because of his large appetite. Although he was only a designated sidekick, Mukmuk was a run-away success, "capturing the hearts of Games-goers everywhere"; including an impromptu "protest" at the Vancouver Art Gallery to make him a full-fledged mascot, and making 24 Hours' "Top 5" for the Olympic games. [2]
Pedobear ControversyEditIn 2009, Canadian artist Michael R. Barrick created a photoshopped image of the Vancouver 2010 mascots with the internet meme Pedobear, who was popularized by the imageboard 4chan. The images were created to make "a visual critique of how the style of the mascots resembles the style of Pedobear."[3] As a result of the images receiving high rankings on Google Images, this image was mistakenly used by other media. The Polish newspaper Gazeta Olsztyńska used one the images for a front page story about the then-upcoming Olympics, published on February 4, 2010 [4]. Similarly, the Dutch television guide Avrobode used one of the images. | http://olympics.wikia.com/wiki/Vancouver_2010/Mascots?oldid=11994 | 2013-05-18T10:21:20 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Industry Leaders Discuss Consumer 3D Printing Market [Video]
Dale Dougherty, co-founder of O’Reilly Media, hosted a panel on consumer 3D printing at the MIT/Stanford VLAB in April.
3D Printing is poised to become a part of our daily lives, allowing consumers to make things in a new era of mass customization. Once an expensive technology used by engineers, 3D printers today print car bodies, medical and dental prosthetics, high-fashion shoes and much more. Layer by layer, 3D printers deposit material to build up one-of-a-kind products, even with complex internal shapes.
Virtual marketplaces, cheaper printers and cloud-based consumer software are transforming the 3D Printing ecosystem, bringing the technology within the reach of everyone. With a current market size of $1.3 billion, the 3D printing industry is set to explode to $3.1 billion by 2016, according to industry consulting firm Wohlers Associates.
Join us and our industry leading panelists to understand business models and see the technology in action.

Guelph football player gets 4.5 years in prison
Convict had bragged he would receive only three months
A former University of Guelph football player was sentenced to 4.5 years in prison Monday.
Kyle Hjelholt, 24, was convicted of aggravated assualt in June after he picked up fellow-student Christopher Fruetel and threw him over a railing in the early hours of Sept. 8, 2009, following a verbal altercation. The three-metre fall left Fruetel with permanent difficulties concentrating, little short term memory and confusion. “I’m not the same person I once was,” he told the court.
Hjelholt, a bleach-blonde strong-man competitor, bragged under a YouTube video earlier this year that he would get maximum three-months for the assault, according to the Guelph Mercury. “Such a lack of insight simply boggles the mind,” Justice Kenneth Langdon said Monday. | http://oncampus.macleans.ca/education/tag/kyle-hjelholt/ | 2013-05-18T11:02:59 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
This is my idea of a breastfeeding support and protection poster. I was wondering what yours was? I thought of "Breast: Why Settle For Less?" as I was doing the housework this afternoon. Ooops, better get back to it. But I'd really like to see some positive, phrased appropriately, and home made poster ideas, from you all. Really good ones, I'll publish on the blog. Leave your feedback on whether or not you think (above) and the others, work for you, or you think they might work for others.
Slogan ideas, you can simply post in comments below. Actual mock ups, comment with your eddress (email address) below, and I'll send you mine, for sending on the file. No worries - your eddress won't be seen, or published. :-)
Let's See What You've Got!
22 comments:
In my head I've had the slogan "You don't have to be perfect".
There seems to be a perception of smugness, a superiority over bottlefeeding mums. It's not true but this appears to be what fuels the anger behind many comments attacking breastfeeding advocacy. There is a whole women have to be perfect thing and I'm sure the perception of this serene Johnsons baby style mum does harm to uptake rates.
Show that women who breastfeed aren't perfect, just normal.
There is a problem with media images, of course. If anything is a media image, isn't the 'after' of the 'before' picture, it will turn the audience off. How to present 'real' women, in a stylised and media savvy way, so the image will actually be looked at in the first place, and not repel the audience....
Very Tricky.
Not saying it can't be done, but how often is any media image, 'real'?
In central MK today there was a charity fundraising with the stated aim of 'a vaccine for breast cancer'. Apparently the one they want will reduce the rate by 12% . Less than bf does I seem to recall?
So that's my suggestion -steal that slogan for something more effective and that won't stop breastmilk production to boot!
That could be a whole series, couldn't it?
Breastfeeding... A vaccine against...
breast cancer
cancer
diabetes
sleep apnea
child abuse
Whole list of things. I can see some lovely posters on that one!
I like "you don't have to be perfect too". I don't mind "why settle for less" but I don't like the image of the slim white perfect-haired mother as I think it ties into the whole diane wiessinger thing of how people feel breastfeeding is only for "perfect" mothers, and is "best".
I would like: "Breast: it's ordinary". Or "normal".
And have an assortment of "ordinary people" nursing their babies.
By "ordinary people" I mean the kind of people you see on the Ocean Finance adverts. People who look like the people I see walking down the street every day.
I mean, Kerry Katona gets some stick, but she has sold Iceland very well on the back of the "ordinary Mum" image she has. Can you imagine if Kerry Katona breastfed? Would do more (imvho) for breastfeeding overnight than the likes of super slebs like Lucy Lawless and Gwen Stefani. Much as I adore them for nursing and saying they're doing so, it's a bit, well, "of course they breastfeed, they also probably eat organic vegetables and live in mansions".
Goodness, it was the first copyright free image I came across! I'm not at all presenting the image, but the format and the words!
Interesting some of you see her as perfect. I see a normal sized women with wrinkles, lines and roots showing! The lack of airbrushing was appealing. I liked the eye to eye statement!
I can't see at all how she's 'perfect'. :-)
For my BFPC training course we had to come up with some posters for breastfeeding.
Mine was based on the United Colors of Benetton adverts; a row of mums breastfeeding, all from different backgrounds, cultures, etc.
I just wanted to get across that it's something that unites us as a race, no matter where you come from on this earth, you can feed your baby the same milk :)
Don't have one I can send you though, as I couldn't find the right images so ended up drawing it.
I think it was the straightened hair, the white ironed blouse (that was actually white, not grey, as most of my "white" clothes are, and wasn't stained with puke the way my clothes were in the early days), the just-plucked eyebrows, etc!
I do quite like the slogan though.
I could be wrong, but the image of a hassled, puke covered mother, with crumpled clothes... may not help mothers feel it's something they want to do! ;-)
There have been these posters in the past - with lists of things that breastfeedin protects against. With lots of different mums from all over the world, and lots of different languages. One such was produced by the friends of breastfeeding in Canada [ via compleat mother] and distributed here by Ameda, Ameda also did one using some of hte images as an ad including lovely pics of babies the friends did various takes on it and produced various versions, and also used the wording on small ones which had pics of ordinary families, situations etc too. The also did some wonderful art ones, including a native American mother, a tandem mother and a black mother. Between 25 - 15 years ago
Would be great to have some similar, still have mine which come out for displays but new ones would be great
"Human Milk for Human Babies" is a great slogan, but I didn't come up with it. I also like the Weissenger idea of a baby's natural habitat being mother's body, and the idea I heard McKenna mention of there is no such thing as a baby, but a baby and someone.... I know that's not breastfeeding as such, but if you encourage skin to skin and babyholding, then breastfeeding rates soar.
More and more I am being seen woman who try and give infos to new mums being called breastfeeding bullies. Someone said that breast milk didn't have any more benefits over formula dna they where corrected and showed the facts, this started off a bandwagon of formula mums coming calling breastfeeding patronising and bullying to mums who choose not to breastfeed. Not who couldnt who choose not to. Why is info, facts all censorde in case someones feelings is hurt ? and this isnt by mums who really try and cant do it its been taken over by people who have the freedom of choice and just dont fancy breastfeeding. Pretty soon allthe facts that they call bull and so and so kids was brestfeed and ill are going to be pushed back into a cornor. Dare I post any of the info on brestfeeding for any one for someone will come in and say that formula is not poisin as apparently thats what we say all the time even if we dont open out mouths.Because i dont use formula on my son I am making a statement on how its not right,. Dam well right I am and like it or lump it its better then that tin! I wish more would choose more carefully its not pepsi and coke on a menu its a whole lot more.
I may be missing the point, but I don't think Its necessary to have pics of women all over the world. That's all I really see. I feel like one of only a few regular American moms who breastfeed. I never see anyone doing it in public, talking about it, carrying a pump.....I think images of typical American moms who breastfeed would be most helpful for moms here....where few seem to try or stick with it.
I really like your idea.
Have you ever noticed that in magazines and other advertising media that formula is always portrayed with soft images and lighting; happy well fed babies; happy moms with nice hair, make-up, and clothing? While breastfeeding talks about colic, sore nipples, sleepless nights and show dreary images with mom looking stressed and tired with poor body posture, mostly in a bath robe?
The magazines may talk about the health benefits, but the sponsors for the publication get prime spots for advertising the more 'appealing' option. The formula companies advertise in non-family oriented magazines, to give that impression that every one is using Brand X, so you too can have a happy healthy baby and get your time back to yourself.
Maybe we can copy the drug adverts and show a great pic, catchy slogan, a few testimonials, and then list on the back page all the health concerns for using the 'other product'.
Nice dispatch and this mail helped me alot in my college assignement. Thanks you for your information.
When I lived in spain, there was a fab competition for breastfeeding pictures. The winners were used as advertising for breastfeeding, one of which was a woman breastfeeding under an umbrella.. they used it as a advertisement for breastfeeding to protect against swine flu :)
you can see the pictures:
just in case it inspires anyone!

Why "settle" for "less"? I resent that phrase. What if there was no choice but to settle for less as you put it - you can't breastfeed or because you have adopted (and in the UK, when even a child given up at birth will be 5-6 months old at placement with a new family and that is incredibly rare you can't in fairness confuse a child by starting trying to breastfeed them). Or how about you plain old fashioned don't want to breastfeed? Shouldn't that be a right without women being burdened with more guilt? My children were exclusively formula fed and are healthy as horses, bright and beautiful. I don't feel like I settled for less, and I don't feel they were cheated - as they were bottle fed in a nurturing way.
Interesting, isn't it. That if you say 'breast is best' it's okay. But if you flip it, and say that formula feeding is less than breast feeding, people take it personally, and you are attacking them.
If I told you that some chicken has salmonella in it, and you need to cook it properly, how would you feel? Am I calling you a bad mother? Or am I telling you something that everyone knows and accepts? So how come when I say formula can have salmonella in it, and you to prepare it properly, I'm attacking you?
I'm very pleased that your children are thriving, and you are a secure an attached mother. Risks are not about individuals, they are about cohorts.
Just as someone can say "I've driven my baby without a car seat for years, and we've never had an accident." Many mothers can say "I used formula and my children are happy and healthy."
The issue isn't when it doesn't go wrong - the issue is when it does. The undeniable fact, scientifically proven and peer reviewed research, is that lack of breastfeeding harms health. It can harm the health of the mother, and the child. That needs to be taken into consideration, when making your personal choices, about letting the baby on your breast.
Yes, some women, a tiny percentage, cannot make a full supply. Some women, a tiny percentage, are born with spinal problems that puts them in a wheelchair for life. We do not hand out wheelchairs to every newborn, and say "Don't use your legs, it will offend the poor people in the wheelchairs - aren't they suffering enough guilt?"
What we do, is accept that a person with a disability, is a human being first and foremost, and we support them to function as well as they wish to.
It's the same with women who do not wish to, or cannot, breastfeed normally. We should be helping all the babies of such mothers, to have human milk by donation.
Life is risk. Not breastfeeding, is a risk factor. Just another risk factor, to be taken into consideration as we live our lives.
As long as you know the risks, you have made an informed choice. Your choice is yours: but it affects yourself, and your baby. Just know that.
Just as how much you weigh, if you smoke, if you drink alcohol, if you drive too fat, if you don't exercise... all of these are risk factors. Just be aware, but choose your own path. But you choices, does not negate the actuality of the science.
As ever, the messenger is shot, whilst the multi-national companies making billions, from selling you a different message, that can affect the health of your children, aren't even noticed, much less criticised.
Oh, and many an adoptive mother has begun breastfeeding with an older baby. It can help with trauma the baby has endured from separation and institutionalisation. Some don't start until well past a year old, and it works very very well. Interesting research paper about it about to come out. By a mother who adopted children from a Chinese orphanage, and who used breastfeeding, bed-sharing and child-wearing on slings, as a way to help them deal with the developmental delays caused by the trauma of their early lives.
I so wish people wouldn't use the 'adopted' baby as a stick to beat breastfeeding by, when it's such a rare and precious tool in helping a baby over come serious trauma. :-)
Sorry for all the deletions, peeps. Google kept telling me it wasn't posting my comment, as it was too long - and it was! Every time I got the error message!

I know I should look at them and think, "All things bright and beautiful. All things great and small." I've really, really tried, but they look like buzzards and I'm simultaneously trying to figure out how they got here and how I can get rid of them. Did you know they can fly? Years ago a wall street broker, long since gone to his just reward, was sure that "...in a high wind even a turkey can fly." He was spot on, about bad stocks and the other turkeys. They can fly at 55 miles an hour for short distances. These new members of our wildlife menagerie, probably escapees from a nearby raptor center, started me thinking about birds and winged creatures that cannot, for one reason or another, fly. Some years ago I developed a crock-pot recipe for chicken wings and my over stimulated sense of the absurd decided to call them kiwi wings because the donor chickens could no longer fly. I'll tell you more about the wings below. The turkeys, by the way, are fine.
This very simple recipe was developed to provide an alternative to standard, albeit delicious, hot wings. These wings are cooked in a two step process that utilizes the broiler and a slow cooker. While they lack the extreme heat of the more familiar version, they are hot and decidedly Asian in their flavor. The broiler is used to give the wings color. If you don't mind beige wings this step can be bypassed. The finished wings are sprinkled with an Asian relish patterned after one that comes from Kobe, Japan. The wings will have more flavor if allowed to marinate before cooking. Your preparation time will be about 20 minutes and the wings can be on the table, start to finish, in three hours. While these were developed to be served as an appetizer, when served with rice, they make a wonderful light meal. Here's the recipe.
Kobe Kiwi Wings with Japanese Relish...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite
Ingredients:
4 pounds chicken wings
1/2 cup Japanese (shottsuru) or Thai (nam pla) fish sauce
1 cup Asian sweet chili sauce (i.e. Mae Ploy)
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Relish
1/4 cup minced scallions (white and tender green)
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh ginger
1 tablespoon finely minced parsley
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt (optional)
Directions:
1) Cut wings into pieces at joints; discard wing tips or reserve for stock.
2) To make marinade, place fish sauce, chili sauce, lime juice, chili garlic sauce, brown sugar and cornstarch in a small (1-quart) bowl. Whisk to combine.
3) Place wing pieces and marinade in a 1-gallon resealable storage bag. Seal and shake to coat all pieces with marinade. Refrigerate for 2 to 8 hours.
4) Preheat oven broiler. Coat insert of a large (6-quart) slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.
5) Remove chicken from marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Reserve marinade. Transfer chicken to rack of a large broiler pan. Broil about 6 inches from heat for 5 minutes per side.
6) Meanwhile, pour marinade into a medium (2-quart) saucepan. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and continue to cook for about 10 minutes to thicken mixture.
7) Dip chicken pieces into thickened marinade. When coated, transfer to slow cooker. Pour remaining marinade over chicken, cover, and cook on HIGH for 2 hours.
8) Just before serving, combine scallions, ginger and parsley in a small bowl. Toss to combine.
9) Transfer wings to a serving platter. Sprinkle with relish and sea salt (if using). Serve hot. Yield: 10 appetizer servings.

Mmmmmmmmmm, Mary! Those wings look delish! I love the pictures of your turkeys and how you tied them all together for Outdoor Wednesday! I will have to try those this holiday season. Thanks for sharing and please come by and read about my unwanted guests from Mother Nature and see how I got rid of them.
Take care!

I love chicken wings, and I like asian inspired wings over those hot wings you get at most bars, These look terrific, gotta try this recipe. Thanks, great post as usual
The wings look delicious. I have gotten so many wonderful recipes from your blog - now I just have to start cooking!
Carol
buzzards indeed....but, not quite as ugly. LOL
I read your blog title in my reader this morning and just HAD to stop by to see what Japanese Relish was. And the photo? My goodness this looks mouth watering.
Mmmmmm sounds good, Mary ! I like your turkey shot !
Kammy
Mary-My husband is an outdoorsman and turkey hunting is his favorite--he will take care of those for you. Aren't their legs really long?? My family loves wings-all kinds (except turkey :) Thanks, as always!
We have seen a lot (and I mean a lot) of wild turkeys this year here in the mountains. And they sure can fly if you scare them. They make a big whoosing sound as they take off and act a bit annoyed that they have to leave.
Your wings look wonderful. I have fish sauce on my shelf and forget to use it sometimes. It adds so much to recipes.
Sam
I love the title and the post! Your food always looks absolutely beautiful and delicious. Being a guest at your table would be a very nice treat. Thanks so much for posting to Crock Pot Wednesday. I am anxious to give this one a try. Debbie
The birds look much more appetizing after they've been cooked.
Wow, these look incredible. I came by way of Dining with Debbie. So glad I did!!!!!!!!!
yummy!! The wings look amazing I love all your flavors!
I like that you spoke about how to get rid of the birds and then cooked some bird ;-)
This relish sounds like a refreshing change to the usual buffalo wings. Great combination of flavors.
Yum, I do like chicken wings, probably because they hold so much sauce in relation to the amount of meat. I'm a Mae Ploy fan and know I would love this sauce. Can't wait to try this one, Mary.
mmm mmmm good!! great blog btw!! found you over at debbie's!! :)
The wings look yummy.
I have to admit I might find it a bit scary to have a turkey flying by. You'd think they'd be rather ungainly in the air, and they're so big! The Kobe Kiwi Wings are going into my 'try soon' file. I'm amassing one full of Asian flavors, and these look delicious.
wow Mary!! Those wings looks so delicious - its only 8:42am right here and I could eat those right now!
Mary, those look so tasty. I could eat them for breakfast! I quess they would be perfect anytime an long as you have a whole platefull. ;)
I can usually see the beauty in all things too. But this time I am with you and give up trying. lol
That reminds me of WKRP from 20 years ago, when they did the turkey giveaway.. by dropping them out of a plane. "God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!"
These wings look so tasty. I was born in Kobe (but am not Japanese)
Great idea to use the crock pot.
Those wings look delicious. Great recipe
Have a nice day
Mary, I don't use my crock pot enough and this is a dish that may make me take if off the shelf! I like spicy wings and this recipe sounds perfect!
I saw wild turkeys while I was in South Dakota on vacation ..they were not as pleasingly plump as your visitors!
I have heard that turkey's could fly, but never saw one. I trust you find a way to get rid of them, They look kinda think for Thanksgiving.I appreciate you taking time to visit today.
Mary, those wings look scrumptious!
We have a family of turkeys (8 in all) living in our neighborhood. I understand their diet changes every few months, and summer is their vegetation season. Unfortunately, they grazed on our zucchini plants all summer.
Jane
Oh Mary, what a cute post. It brought back memories of me counting 60 or more turkeys on our property. You are right, they do look like buzzards.
Great wing recipe!!
I sometimes spot a lone wild turkey,but I've never had a flock. Great Pics.;~)
The chicken wings look delicious!
~Myrna
Hi Mary, the poor turkey's don't know what holiday is coming up !!
I really do not like chicken wings cooked this way, I like good old fried chicken wings..
Thanks for your visit to my place today..hugs, Baba
We have wild turkeys in our back yard. The cats stalk them until they see how big they really are!
Those wings look wonderful!
Great picture of your turkeys! My parents have a flock of wild turkeys (15 – 20) that invade them in Maine every year. They can be quite amusing to watch and definitely have a hierarchy.
Thanks for sharing!
~ Tracy
Those wings would be gone in minutes in my house! Looks delish!Figtreeapps
We were watching the Outdoor Channel last night and sure 'nuff, there were a couple turkeys in the tree. I asked DH "How'd they get up there??" He said "They flew up there." Haha... I didn't know they could fly!! Learn something new every day, don't we? ;)
h-m-m-m h-m-m-m-m those sure look good Mary ! I wished I lived in your house so I could eat all of your good stuff.
Oooh, ugly birds! But those wings look great! I really should try this one - my hubby loves hot wings and this sounds like a nice variation.
That recipe looks so yummy! I'm fixing a Hawaiian chicken dish for supper.
Brenda
I love that relish!
This looks yummy ! love the Turkey's NOT !! lol..hugs, Cherry
Maria, the relish is really delicious. I hope you'll be able to try it.
Just a note to say how much I enjoy your posts. I have been visiting for just a few weeks now but have already tried a couple recipes (the Bavarian Potato Soup was the last one we enjoyed)
Thank you for stopping by my place for Outdoor Wednesday and leaving your comment.
Kindly, ldh
Hi Mary,
I never know whats cooking in the pot when I visit Mary... but this certainly is a funny, informative and yummy post.
Thanks for it all, Pam :)
Mary - Thanks for leaving a comment on my page. It's nice to know when someone visits. Glad to hear my part of the world is not the only one that is still green!
Your blog is very pleasing to the eye ( and it looks like the tummy too.)
I love wings! I like mine to be cooked well though. I can't take it if the skin isn't crispy. These look like they are cooked to perfection! I love the relish on top!
They look delicious! We have wild turkeys in our yard and nearby all the time! I find them quite amusing! Cindy...
I love the turkeys! That was fun. The wings look delicious!
I never knew that turkeys could fly. You are so informative!
They are very vulturish arent' they? I don't think I would like them hanging around too much either. Wings sound good!
We saw many turkeys during our trip to the mountains this year. At one point there was a tree full of them.
The wings look great!! My family would eat those right up.
Becky K.
Hospitality Lane
Those sound so good. And turkeys scare the heck out of me.
I can't help it...I love turkeys!! I get excited everytime I see some :D Your wings sound finger-lickin' good!
The sauce sounds fantastic - I know my wing loving husband would really enjoy theses.
Yes, turkeys can fly! I once came home to 11 on the peak of my roof.
Do they avoid your hose? My aunt had one in her back yard who thought the hose was snake...
Your recipe looks luscious! We'll have to try it this weekend.
Thanks for sharing it...
Jane (artfully graced)
Mary,
Those Turkeys look scary!!!! (LOL)
Oh and your recipe looks insanely good! :) Geez.. every time I come to visit, you make me hungry!!!! :)
Thanks for sharing your wonderful recipes!!! Thanks for the visit! :)
xoxoxoxo
Donna Marie
Great little wings--love the combo of flavors!
Your dish looks fabulous! You are quite the cook..
Oh my ... I've had Kobe Beef but never thought of cooking 'wings' this way. You are the most amazing cook and I enjoy my delicious (non caloric) virtual visits to your kitchen. Thanks for visiting Sacred Ruminations and I hope you have a lovely weekend.
Hugs and blessings,

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...Our day began with an early rain so intense it sounded like hail bouncing off the metal roof. While it might not wake the dead, its tattoo brought the Silver Fox and I to the table at an early hour. We lit the fire and shared a pot of coffee as the house warmed to the new day. We lazed a bit and then readied for what we thought the day might bring. Our plans had no contingency for precipitation that would not stop. Oregon winter rains, while heavy, are rarely constant and cloud breaks make it possible for the swift of foot to get out for at least short periods of time. There were no cloud breaks today and the rains were heavy enough to maroon us on our hillside for the day. We read a bit and then both gravitated to the kitchen. Bob rolled up his sleeves and started on a soup he had been wanting to try, and I, by consensus, went to work on an old-fashioned gingerbread we have both come to treasure. Gingerbread regularly appeared on the tables of our childhood and, for both of us, it is a food that evokes memories of warmth and comfort and a world forever young. Strangely enough, the recipe I use these days has replaced the one that came from Bob's family kitchen. The interloper was developed by Lynne Rossetto Kasper for The Splendid Table and I must tell you that for a new-fashioned recipe it makes the best old-fashioned gingerbread I've ever tasted. It is moist and dark and barely sweet but brimming with old-world flavor. The depth of its flavor can be controlled by the type of molasses and brown sugar you use to make the cake. The cheese pockets in the gingerbread are something I don't normally include, but I used them today to add a bit of contrast for the photo. I honestly don't think they add much taste to the finished cake, but they don't harm it either. Gingerbread was loved by our European ancestors for what they believed were its medicinal values. They considered it to be a cure-all for a range of ailments and, in dried and crushed form, used it as baby food for colicky infants. Ginger is known to settle upset stomachs, so they may not have been too far off base. I serve it because we love its taste and knee-bending aroma. Only bread has more allure as it bakes. I like to serve this warm with lemon sauce or maple whipped cream. The cake is very easy to make and you can have it oven ready in about 15 minutes. I do hope you'll try this. Here's the recipe.
Old-Fashioned Gingerbread with Cheesecake Pockets...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite, courtesy of Lynne Rosetto Kasper
Ingredients:
Cheese Filling Mixture
1 egg
4 ounces cream cheese
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Gingerbread
2 cups less 2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour (measure by spooning into cup and leveling)
1 generous teaspoon baking soda
Generous 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon ground ginger
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup dark molasses
3/4 cup very hot water (190 degrees)
1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 large egg
Directions:
1) To make the cheese mixture: Beat cream cheese until light and smooth. Add egg, sugar, lemon juice and vanilla and beat until well-blended. Set aside.
2) Butter an 8-inch square pan. Fit bottom with parchment paper. Butter paper and flour pan. Set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
3) Whisk flour, baking soda, salt and spices together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
4) In a large mixing bowl, beat together butter, molasses, hot water and brown sugar. When the mixture is almost frothy, beat in egg and gradually add flour mixture. Stir just until blended.
5) Pour half of batter into pan. Drop spoonfuls of filling over batter and pour remaining batter over top of filling. Bake 35 to 40 minutes, or until a tester inserted in center of cake comes out clean. Cool on a rack in pan for a moist cake. For a drier consistency, cool 10 minutes, then turn out of pan and set on rack to cool. Yield: 9 servings.

This looks wonderful and your history is real interesting! Gingerbread for colicky babies! If you can bake and Bob can cook at the same time, I would love to see your kitchen! Phil and I always have to dance around each other if we are both in there at the same time!
What a delightful day you had! I love it when that kind of weather comes my way on a day we have nowhere to be. My 3 girls and I cuddle up for a cozy day at home. Living in Florida, we sometimes get these rainy days in June. Don't get me wrong, we get afternoon showers everyday in the summer, but in May or June sometimes we get ALL DAY RAIN.
This winter (and last) we've been blessed with some unusually cold days for South Florida. It's been nice to hunker down at home & relax. We homeschool...so it's nice not to have to drag everyone out on days that aren't weather appropriate.
Thanks for sharing this delicious gingerbread recipe. My grandparents always have gingersnap cookies on hand in their freezer. I can't wait to try this!
Denise @ Creative Kitchen
This sounds and looks so good. I will keep this recipe and try it soon.
I wish you could send part of your rains to us out here in West Texas. We are sooo dry. No rain and not a flake of snow has fallen here.
My post is a little about comfort food, too.:)
xo bj
I cannot resist chocolate and cheesecake, this looks and sound good!
From the photo I can understand what you mean by saying moist. This is perfect to begin your day.
My Husband is going to love this one ;0)
Irresistible gingerbread, sooo yummy..
This looks really wonderful. Would be great to have a piece of this with a cup of hot tea. Thanks for the recipe. It's going to my 'to-try' list!
It looks like a gorgeous cake.And simple to bake like you said.
What a great combination of ingredients;I am just imagining that gingerbred with cheesecake floating around my tastebuds;lovely.
Gingerbread with lemon sauce was my mother's favorite dessert. She, too, extolled it's medicinal qualities. Of course, she didn't have to force it on us as we loved it as well. I can see how it would add delicious comfort to such a rainy day.
Best,
Bonnie
A touch of cream cheese takes this into the "spectacular" category Mary.
Nothing better than food and a fire to cure all that ails on a rainy day.
Your blog is lovely and your pictures are exceptionally nice.
Cindy
Sorry, about all the rain. I hope it has stopped now. Your house must have smelled delicious. The gingerbread with cheesecake sounds so yummy. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Gingerbread with lemon sauce is one of my favorite desserts, partly because it reminds me so much of my mother. I think I will like the addition of cream cheese to this recipe. Beautiful photo, Mary.
"Cheesecake pockets"...that sounds amazing!
You cannot go wrong with cheese pockets...in just about anything!! This sounds wonderfully good! I have a feeling I could eat the whole pan!!
This looks too good!
ANYTHING having to do with gingerbread is amazing!!
Once again, Mary, over the top! Can smell it way down here!! When we dare to eat something sweet again, will try this, definitely. Susan
Lovely idea, Mary. I am fond of gingerbread and have a super recipe. Think next time I make it, I'll add your cheesecake pocket!
Your rain day sounds like the snow day my husband and I enjoyed last Wednesday!
I love gingerbread. I used to bake it with my grandmom when I was in elementary school (she taught me how to bake). I have some molasses in my pantry, so I'm bookmarking this recipe.
My mom used to make a lemon sauce to go with her gingerbread. Yum. Thanks for the memories.
Happy Blue Monday, Mary.
First time here for 2011 and I am still not dissapointed. I ginger in my cheesecakes, always add it to the crust. Now you do a different version and it looks so appealing!!
hmm I will copy it and and and
If these taste as god as they look... Mmmmmmmmm Diane
I absolutely love gingerbread! I'm not sure if I enjoy the taste or the smell of it more. Reminds me of my grandmother, Mimi :) And the idea of mixing in cheesecake with an already incredible delight...smile :)
:D .... hugs, Flavia
This is beautiful! I love the cheesecake pockets - they really do add to the presentation! I wish I could have smelled this baking!
as i was reading this post, i can almost visualise what a lovely morning you had even though it rains, i'm sure both of you enjoy and cherish all these special moments of being together. Have a nice day!
Every time i come here i am feeling hungry. Happy blue Monday. Yummy food...
These look fabulous! I bet it would be great with a bit of cream cheese frosting too, since the cheesecake pocket didn't add a lot. By the way, I looooove your plate. It reminds me of this blue toile china I had for my childhood dollhouse!
- Maggie
What a wonderful combination! I love gingerbread and with a cheesecake filling and lemon sauce, it would have to be fabulous! Thanks for sharing! Have a great week!
I may have to do this - to ward off January's chill. It's snowing and I won't go anywhere until it stops so why not fill then home with scrumptious aroma and a warm dessert. I love Lynne Rossetto Kasper's recipes.
I've always found cheesecake to be too rich, too overwhelming. But I'm loving this idea. Cheers!
You have so many great looking recipes that it is hard to chose. My husband loves Brussels sprouts so I’ll try roasting them as your show. I was also pleased to see your recipe for crème fraiche as I did not know that it could be reproduced this way. That gingerbread with the cheesecake filling looks super yummy. I’d love to visit your kitchen!
Gingerbread definitely tastes warm and comforting to me, so I can totally see the appeal of cuddling up with this on a cold rainy day!
How scrumptious, I love the top of it! Great baking, sounds like a nice day despite the rain.
This looks so tasty, and I can just imagine the lovely scents perfuming the house as it bakes up! The cheesecake pockets are an especially lovely addition, Mary!
Mmm sounds really good!
Yum. I usually smear cream cheese on my gingerbread anyway, so I am certain I would LOVE this! -Meredith
Gingerbread in the oven is like a warm hug. Love the stuff and can't wait to try this recipe with black pepper in it. YUM! Once again...thanks Mary!
Oh, Mary! This is really fabulous, and I could eat a whole pan. Thanks for this recipe. I love the fact that you are putting cheesecake in a pocket. NEAT!
We have rain today, too, but we need it bad.
Happy Blue Monday...
XP.
Sjeo;a "=_
This looks wonderful Mary!
I used to go eat lunch at this cafe downtown with my dad that he called the soup and salad place. My favorite thing to get was the hot squares of gingerbread.
That looks so delicious. I love gingerbread and then you throw in the cheescake part and wow.
Double hit of gorgeousness!
oh my goodness, i just have to try this recipe! i love gingerbread, and the look of those cheesecake pockets is just delish! great recipe!
Looks simply wonderful! I love gingerbread and I love cheesecake, so it makes sense to put them together :)
I've bookmarked this Mary; I've been looking for a good homemade gingerbread and I think this will fit the bill nicely.
How nice that bob can cook too!
Mary, this gingerbread with cheesecake pocket sounds and looks delicious...love the idea of cheesecake in it...beautifully done :-)
Mary, thanks for your kind words about my blog...so happy to find yours--it is fantastic! This gingerbread is right up my alley....looks wonderful and your photos are beautiful! Cheers from Houston!
This looks great! I love gingerbread! Yummy! :)
Looks and reads great, I love anything with ginger in. I think this would go well in a camp/dutch oven.
I love the look of this cake! Yummy cheese filling!
Mmmmm gingerbread and cream cheese. This cake looks spicy, rich and moist!
This gingerbread on its own, even without the cream cheese pockets, sounds absolutely delightful!
What a tempting recipe! I love gingerbread - love spices, actually - and the cheesecake bits look delish!
This looks delicious. I've been craving gingerbread lately, and with cream cheese.. OMG
What a lovely looking cake! And great writing- I love a good narrative to accompany a recipe. Thanks for stopping by my blog so that I could discover yours!
Love Ginger and love bread, so I will to make it for my holiday.
Farida
Sometimes I wish we'd have just plain old rain here instead of all this snow that keeps piling up! But I always bake when I am stuck inside too! :-)
I've never heard of gingerbread like this before, I love it already! Miriam@Meatless Meals For Meat Eaters
E' un capolavoro questo dolce, non credo di avere le capacità per farlo me lo gusto con gli occhi, per ora ;) grazie!
Buona giornata
Sonia
Winter rain! Sounds pretty chilling early in the morning but it's a great start with that slice of cheesy gingerbread. The picture looks fantastic. I am loving it. Thanks again for sharing it.
Regards, Kristy
Gingerbread is a time tested treat, but I've never had it with cream cheese pockets. They do look yummy though! Love the Splendid Table. :)
I like old-fashioned gingerbread, but I just LOVE the idea of the cheesecake pockets!
Tried this this morning, exactly as directed, but found the cheese mixture to be extremely thin and runny. If anything, I skimped a bit on the lemon juice, so I'm not sure why this happened. The consistency was so very different from the cake batter (which was thick) that it was pretty miserable trying to get them to coexist - it was so thin that it ran away into the corners of the pan the minute I added it.
(It did bake fine, and the flavor is outstanding.)
Since your recipe says "drop spoonfuls of filling," I have to assume something went wrong with mine - any idea what?
Spidercamp, I just read your comment. I am a bit concerned. The cheesecake batter is always very thin but mine has never run to the edges of the layers. While I have never done this, it might help to use a smaller egg and make depressions in the gingerbread to hold the cheesecake batter. I can remember thinking the first time I made the cake that it wasn't going to work, but it did. The cake in the photo was made exactly as the recipe directs. I know that doesn't help much but it's the best I can do. Hugs and blessings...Mary
Thanks so much Mary, I bet that's exactly what happened. I forgot to mention I tripled the recipe, so by the time you factor in THREE times the amount of extra egg, my proportions must have been very different than yours!
When I posted that first comment, I had only baked a tiny test cake. When I did my 3 bigger cakes, I did just what you suggested, making depressions in the batter to hold the filling. It mostly worked, though a lot of the cheese mixture did seep back out to the edges. But no matter, the end product was really good - thanks for sharing this, and thanks for the reply!
yes! It is delicious! Have a nice week, I love this recipe | http://oneperfectbite.blogspot.com/2011/01/old-fashioned-gingerbread-with.html?showComment=1295251587135 | 2013-05-18T11:03:55 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

This sounds delicious. I really appreciate your tips about pan size, crust etc.
I like to try a new cake every year at Easter. I'll test this one out first.
I knew if I stayed up just a few minutes longer, you'd have a new post up! Are you on auto post? Maybe around 1:30 A.M. eastern time? This looks incredibaly luscious!!
Good day, Mary! Today is Monday and this is such a sunshine. It's also something that I would die for. Gosh.... How I love the gorgeous yellow! A perfect spring recipe in Oregon. Hope you're enjoying your day under the sunshine.
Cheers, Kristy
By now you will know how much I love lemon, this is also another recipe that looks amazing. Diane
Hello Mary, thank you for your kind comment you left on my blog. Yours is absolutely "delicious"! You just found one more loyal follower :)) Have a wonderful day, cheers, Monika.....
This is a mega cake, calls for a special occasion, with all those eggs and lemon curd!
I am sure your family and friends enjoy having you around Mary!
ciao
A.

Irresistible and inviting cake..marvellous!
So wonderfull Mary!!!
That slice is perfect and probably very tasty also...
Hope you have a nice day...

Rita
Decorated beautiful Mary! I can imagine how refreshing this would taste because of the texture and the citrus
Hi Mary, thanks so much for stopping by my blog. I love your lemonfest!
I love it!!!!!!
Cheers
So, Mary, this is one of those that looks better than it tastes? :)))))
Beautiful picture. It looks so good that I think I will give it a try.
Thanks. Have a nice week.
oh man this looks lovely, i've got a weak spot for creamy moussey like cakes. and on top of that we have tangy lemon to boot! delicious!
Oh that's WAAAAAY too many decisions to make!! I think I'll just enjoy the photo and fantasize about eating it!!!
Have a lovely evening!!
Hayırlı haftalar, ellerinize, emeğinize sağlık çok leziz ve iştah açıcı görünüyor.
Saygılarımla.
I love lemon bakes. Yours looks very delicious ;)
Oh Marry
Lemon Bavarian Cream Cake looks delicious. Thank you so much for stopping by my blog

Oh my, O think I am in heaven with this cake Mary!
The cake looks delicious. Thanks for the tips. I love all things lemon!
Bavarian cream ... new term for my culinary dictionary. Thanks!
Thanks for all these great tips, Mary! This sure looks like a crowd-pleaser, and by "crowd" I mean myself--I could eat it all up!
It does look yummy and there is something about lemon that seems perfect for Easter dessert!
I gotta tell you,I just love tese cake!!!
I have to find the time to do them all.
thank you for such good recipies.
kisses
Hélia
that does sound like a wonderful Easter dessert! I love lemon and it looks wonderful...
I shall make myself eat it very slowly, taking much pleasure in each small bite, extracting the full measure of flavor from every morsel.
I love the way you break the recipe down... that is so good of you. DOn't you wonder what is in a recipe tester's head when they seem to get the proportions so wrong?? I am crazy about lemon... I think I will try this with your added instructions next to the recipe!
This bavarian is a DREAM to me. Since i'm a child, my favorite desserts are made from lemon. In fact, when I was a kid, the only dessert I wanted to eat was lemon meringue pie... So for all my birthday partys until I was 12 or 13 the only dessert my mother bakes was that... And this cake looks lovely to me...
Beautiful cake. It looks so light and fresh. Yummy.
Your cake looks spectacular Mary! Great pics, so vibrant and so professional looking..
US Masala
Mary, this cake sounds delicious and perfect for spring! I really appreciate your honest review and if I do make it I will certainly take note of them. Hope you are having a wonderful Monday :o)
Wow, I just wonder how you manage to cook so well! This one looks so yummy yummy!
Your cake looks fabulous! No matter that it is poorly named, it looks downright delicious! Would be lovely to have a slice! :)
The cake does look delicious. Thanks for the little pointers on making it even better!!
Looks delicious Mary would love to try this as my son loves cakes:)
looking very good, i wld love to try this one day!
Mary! This cake looks delicious and beautiful :) I had no idea you were on a lemon kick too, I don't get out much ;) Your past week looks amazing with all the lemon goodies! I have to try the glazed lemon chicken, looks so good!!
Oh YUM!
Looks gorgeous but too labor intensive for me. Beautiful presentation on that lovely blue plate.
I can see why you were drawn to the photo. It looks so luscious. I'll be interested in seeing what it looks like after you have tweaked the recipe more.
Oh boy looks so yummy... Happy blue Monday..
Oh boy looks so yummy... Happy blue Monday..
My son loves lemon recipes. I can't wait to try this for him. Thanks again.
Anything with lemon has GOT to be good!
Happy Blue Monday, Mary.
Gorgeous cake..I can't take my eyes of it..looks so beautiful and refreshing..yummie! Thanks for the recipe..
Oh my, I have got to try that. Looks delicious. ~~Sherry~~
Oh that looks lucious and the lemon thins below, If I made all your recipes I'd be, well let's not go there. Ha.
This cream cake looks absolutely heavenly Mary. Wish I could have a slice for breakfast right now.
Great way to start off the week. This truly looks so light and lemony - perfect combination. Thanks also for adding the link to my lemon tart.
Muy refrescante este pastel con ese delicioso sabor a limón. Te ha quedado muy, muy bonita.
Saludos
It is so good that you give all these instructions and you critisize the food as well explaining its pros and cons. It looks beautiful.
You know I could actually smell the lemon whenI read your post? Ha! Happy Blue.. thanks for shring!

Hi, Mary. It has been a pleasure read your comment in my blog. If you need any help translating the recipies ask me and I'll try to explain you as good as I can :-)
Regards
This looks like a lovely creamy cheesecake, Mary! It's the kind I enjoy the most. I think I will make it for Easter. Thanks, and Happy Blue Monday and President's Day!
Hello Mary, I'm loving all your lemon recipes. I've been gone most of the month and am having fun going through them all. Take care, Nancy :)
Oh this cake is calling my name! It looks divine and like sunshine on a plate!
Playing catch up today - been mia for a few days now! Great step by step advice/tips on making this cake. I would be drawn to that picture too and yours equally so! It does look a bit "thicker" than a mousse like you mention - still looks/sounds delicious! recipe just out of curiosity.
Thanks for sharing...
I'm actually kind of glad that this is more of a bavarian cream...because I really love bavarian cream! So beautiful!
It is definitely a mood-brightening cake and yours looks light and luscious. Appreciate the detailed instructions - you learn as you go and it is helpful to have you share the experience.
Easter? I can't wait! After a few days of slightly warmer temps, it's once again raining/sleeting/snowing and gray. Lemon just perks me up in any form. This does sound delicious and you've worked out some kinks for me. It could very well find space on our dessert menu.
Best,
Bonnie
Mmm, a perfectly light and lemony dessert for Easter. :-) I'm glad you included your tips and observations. That is always helpful!
This is the most beautiful lemon cake I've ever seen, it's so high! Thanks for the recipe and have a great evening!
Wow, I love anything with lemon in it and this sounds fantastic. Seriously so good, that cake and the cookies in the previous post look to die for. I can't wait for Spring and the bright lemon just makes me more optimistic :-)
Would you believe I've never made lemon curd? I've actually been wanting to for a while now, so I think instead I'll just make this beautiful cake! Thanks for sharing, Mary. Hope your week is off to a wonderful start!
Thanks so much for your candid comments about this recipe. I so appreciate that recipes don't always go as planned even for the most experienced cooks. I also like that you acknowledge that sometimes store bought products can work just as well as homemade. I hope you let us know how your version at Easter works.
Lemon anything and I'm in! This looks delicious, especially the combination of tart lemons and sweet cream. Perfect for spring! -Nicolette
Looks so light and so lemony! I would love a nice, big slice of that cake!
If this showed up at my table...I would think I seriously had died and gone to heaven! OH MY how delicious! I agree with other comments on making this for Easter! Wow...thanks!
I wish more bloggers dissected the recipes and gave tips like to did. This is such a helpful post
This makes me wish I could eat the food right off of the computer screen! I love all things lemon, and this looks absolutely wonderful, definitely something I'll have to try... What a beautiful blog by the way!
oooh I've never had anything like this!
I love it when this blue and while plate shows up in your blog, and it looks amazing with the lemon dessert.
Check out my blog on Wednesday, Mary. I am sending some blog awards your way.
Fondly,
Glenda
Wow, this cake looks so light and heavenly!
There is something about lemon curd and cream that is just too good to pass up. This looks so beautiful. I'm sure it tasted light and divine. I hope to give it a try sometime.
Hi Mary, Stopping by to let you know that the "Pulut Hitam", uses Black Glutinous Rice and not Black Rice. The difference is Black Glutinous Rice contains starch and is usually used in some form of dessert. Please check your black rice to see whether it is glutinous or just plain black rice. Thought you would like to know before trying out the "Pulut Hitam". Have a nice day, Mary, and thank you for your visit!
This cakes looks fantastic and sounds so delicious!
Do you mind if I steal a slice? ;-)
This looks so delicious. Interesting how sometimes a dessert becomes so much more delicious when it warms just slightly.
Thank you for all of the helpful tips. The cake looks just lovely!
It looks so nice and yummy. Pretty on the blue plate too. Have a great week!
I am drooling, this cake looks so nice.
Oh, this cake! I have really been craving lemon and this is EXACTLY what I want!
Mary, thanks so much for visiting my blog! Your comment was so nice :) And I loved this! My favorite dessert is anything lemon and this looks delicious! I want to try this!
So I love how this recipe sounds...Lemon Bavarian Cream Cake, and I'm now eager to try this somewhat challenging recipe. Thank you for sharing your words and this tempting photograph. And thank you for your kind thoughts on my own blog. I appreciate you!
You should write a cookbook! This looks so tempting. love the mousse and lemon curd.
Wow that truly is beautiful! The only thing is I wouldn't stop with just one piece!
Thank you so much for stopping by and your kind words it means a lot to me.
Love your tips on baking. The cake looks delicious and lovely.
I think your cake is even better the one you read recipe about!!!
You gave me a good advice for Easter Sunday...and I have even to try a lemone curd recipe!!!
Thanks, hugs, Flavia
Looks divine! Good tip on skipping the shortbread and going with a graham cracker or gingersanp crust. I really like the flavor of ginger snaps with lemon. I think you've insprired me to come up with my own combination- thanks for sharing!
The cake looks so good, I could eat a slice right now! And, I just ate lunch!
Can't wait to surprise my husband with this beautiful cake! Bavarian cream...lemon...oh my goodness. Your photo is gorgeous as well. Have a great week and thank you for stopping by my blog as well. It's so much fun to meet other bloggers via the comments!
I'm speachless, it is so devine looking! Thank you for sharing :)
I'm not a big fan of lemon, but I must admit that this cake does look awfully good! :-)
i had no idea until I read your post what's a Bavarian cream. Thanks for the info.
the cake look amazing thou.
have a wonderful day Mary
Mary...how I so appreciate thee!
I so enjoy how you deciphered a dessert you're getting excited about making...can't wait for the final critique on this one. I personally can't wait...lemon desserts are a close second to chocolate ones for me ;o)
BTW...when I'm worried about the egg whites...I pre-freeze and then thaw in the fridge...it saves me $ and securitizes my tummy at the same time ;o)
Have a wonderful day,
Claudia
This sounds like the perfect dessert for Easter!
This sounds delicious! I can't wait to try it!
Mary, you have tortured me enough with all the lemon recipes, I finally made a recipe and posted it. A summer recipe for most, but it was the healthiest one I could handle right now. Thanks for putting lemons fore front in my mind. Wish I was having a slice of your cream cake instead of some granita.
From where I sit here in Germany, this cake looks wunderbar. Thanks for stopping by my blog and for your lovely comment. what a fantastic blog you have!
So impressed with your blog, recipes and photos are outstanding! Of course, this cake is absolutely gorgeous. Mouth watering now! Will look forward to seeing more from you!
I am a lemon FANATIC, and I think I just found my next birthday cake! :) If I can wait til November to make it, that is! | http://oneperfectbite.blogspot.com/2011/02/lemon-bavarian-cream-cake.html?showComment=1298271886622 | 2013-05-18T10:54:01 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

first!! woot, Three weeks on the trot
2nd like he id isnt even out yet? XD
WOOT 3RD ^.^
Woot, Woot! Woot, Woot!
4th pwned noobs
I cant wait… I always loved hitsugaya… but now that hes stuck inside ryujin jakkas flame… i dont think he has a chance of getting out… unless he can do 2 bankais in a day. =) and what does captain commander mean when he said he is going to punish his sword? oO any idea? is he gonna get ryujin jakka back from muramasa? No flaming please. if you want to answer then answer. dun giv me fucked up noobish answers and if you dun feel like answer. then fuck off and get a life. thank you.
The captain commander will punish his sword and reobtain control over it. He has to or he wouldnt be a very good captain commander now would he? Just stating the obvious.
Hm… mursama is clearly powerful in his ability…. Wouldnt it be a good idea to try and exploit his power against Aizen? Without his sword, he is nearly halved in strength, and his own sword could be used against him.
Yes, i know this is a filler and isnt really apart of the managa, making it impossible, but still.
BEER.. BLARG BLARG!
cool episode… can’t wait… ):
1st, 2nd, 3rd…they all sux tha latest post is da best u niggas
awts…12th T_T cant wait 4 the nxt eps…
^^
wot the hells wrong with that big boobed gurl called inoue. wat kind of feelings does she have to be healing muramasa. Fuck her mahn.
ya. inoue is lame and weak.
i kinda dont understand… in the end where muramasa stands with his back towards ichigo, wy doesnt ichigo just kill him then? hes like totaly open
arg arg I’m a pirate
y there is not sub titles
And fuck this piece of shit… title wrote till so nice… the episode doesnt even fit. _|_
Ok this anime is getting worse and worse… its turning into an anime for 5 year olds… how the hell did ishida put up a good fight against senbonzakura when senbonzakura defeated ichigo? wtf some shit doesnt make sense. plus they need to make one of the friends die for it to be realistic…
Wow, the first video is absolute shit quality and the second is out of sync. Thanks.
commander is a nab, everyone was able to beat their bankais but he can’t do it alone. oh well..he is just a fail.
I wonder when in time these fights take place…chad wasn’t fighting with his his other arm or shield. Orihime serves a great purpose. think about it, she has the power to reject any living matter. if ichigo loses she can reverse everything. also, her power blocks out muramasa’s…she ads and interesting wrinkle in all of this.
bitches please don’t little BOoby girl inoue for healing muramasa.. it’s her duty to heal.. people… like a DOCTOR.. doctor don’t choose their patients.. even if it is a criminal it is there obligation… u dumb ass,,, ur GOOd as DEAD ryt now!
main link is very bad and clunky video, and the alt links sound is messed up
boo
lame shit, next episode doesnt seem to be linked well with this episode -.- it seems like another filler, and if it is not, all i can say is, this filler is lame.
I love this episode. it proves the stupidity of Inoue by healing Muramasa.
Hey. Inoue is not stupid. She is just too emotional and too kind. She don’t want to see anyone to get hurts even if it’s enemy. And she saw muramasa having a damn sad facial expression. That’s why she heal him. By the way, Inoue isn’t that powerful enough to reverse everything yet.
ugh was hoping the filler would be done by next week looks like about three more weeks though…
ok i agree she is emotional and kind. but she heals muramasa so that chad can get hurt. and den when evry1 is fighting she juz stands dere. that makes her look really stupid. and ps, im really not denying that she is emotional and kind.
Inoue pisses me off :0
This episode is alright…
Getsuga Tenshou time. xD
Next time it will be a flashback episode … in a FILLER ARC!!! It’s like they do it intentionally to piss people off …
Loved the action and also the Shinigami Zukan.. XDD
the 1st 1 got removed and the alt link sucks
Please fix both videos!
First one removed and second sucks!
1st video do not work and the 2cnd just sucks, WTF, i have paid 30 € to opob mthrfckrs, i want quality
Hi ,
can you please fix the sound
it’s ahaid of the movie.
greetz
K
This is all bullshit filler, none of this happened in the manga just like most of bleach. It amazes me how bleach continually uses filler characters in the actual story, its horseshit. I consider it to be a complete perversion of the intended story and not worthy of the name Bleach.
What did Shunsui say that last line?
Don’t like it? Stop bitching and make a better anime.
Hahahaha, even Muramasa can’t resist Orihime’s charm.
I lul’d at how Muramasa tossed Rukia to the ground and then stared in awe at his wrinkly, old corpse zombie of a master.
The last line is in portuguese : “Did they spend too much time together?”
Amazing, lovely inoue
stop defending that bitch inoue. i don’t care if she is kind, if she don’t want to see her friends hurt she shoudent heal the enemy. when muramasa finally passes out she heals him, and i was hoping for this lame filler to end
:O it has the sharingan!
Anyone have any idea when these fillers will stop?
i love you inoue
Great sound..great video.I love this video very much!
Thanks for awesome posting!
I’m kind of pissed off, why they make Rukia weaker and weaker??. I mean, Ichigo was a asskicker because of Rukia’s powers, and even if now he has his own, and he kicks more asses, why the fck they make her so fcking WEAK. FCK!!!!!
inoue gets on my damn nerves…. and wtf??? koga looks freaky…. eeww.
WTF??? Ichigo cant defeat Senbonzakura and ishida can??? hahah
I heard this was a 52 episode long filler O_O… & wtf is up with Ishida overpowering senbonzakura?! Ichigo was just on par with him and Ishida is actually winning? this arc is turning out to be nonsense bullshit.. 249 is provided and hosted from a third-party video-sharing website like YouTube, Veoh, Megavideo, Myspace and other sites by which OnePieceOfBleach does not own or is not affiliated to in any way.

By CHARLES LEVINSON, YAROSLAV TROFIMOV and GHOUSUDDIN FROTAN
KANDAHAR, Afghanistan—Mohammed Wazir says he was having breakfast with his brother in the town of Spin Boldak when he received the phone call from his village three hours away. "All your family members are martyred," a neighbor told him.
When Mr. Wazir, a 33-year-old farmer with a sun-creased face and graying beard, reached his small mud home in the Panjway district of Kandahar province, he says he discovered that 11 relatives had been killed and set on fire, victims of a predawn rampage allegedly perpetrated by U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Robert Bales.
Mr. Wazir and other villagers shared with The Wall Street Journal in Kandahar their accounts of the March 11 tragedy that has inflamed anti-American sentiment here and poisoned U.S.-Afghan relations, possibly affecting the course of the war.
Panjway and the neighboring districts have been a battlefield between the Taliban and U.S.-led coalition forces for years. Many houses in the area remain in ruins and explosion craters dot the fields.
The U.S. special-operations forces base where Sgt. Bales served was set up under a strategy to protect the local population. Instead, the arrival of U.S. troops provoked Taliban attacks—and prompted more villagers to flee the already sparsely populated area.
"The only people who have remained are those who couldn't afford the expense of moving their families to the city," says Mullah Baran, a 38-year-old whose brother, Mohammad Dawood, was the first victim of the March 11 rampage, according to witnesses to the shooting, and other villagers. "The Americans said they came here to bring peace and security, but the opposite happened. Now, this village is a nest of ghosts."

- Afghan Attack Suspect Identified (3/17/2012)
Mr. Baran, who says he had to scrape his brother's brain and pieces of skull from the floor of their home, lost only one relative. His brother's wife started screaming at the intruder, he says, and the gunman spared her and her six children.
In the Wazirs' mud compound a few hundred yards away—a dwelling so poor that a piece of cloth served as a front door—no one was spared.
Mr. Wazir—judging by bloodstains, the layout of his home, and his knowledge of where his family sleeps—says his 60-year-old mother, Shah Tarina, was shot first as she greeted the intruder. In his bare bedroom, his wife Bibi Zohra was shot together with their daughters, 4-year-old Nabiya, 6-year-old Farida and 9-year-old Masooma.
In another room, Mr. Wazir's sons Faizullah, 12, and Ismatullah, 13, were shot dead in their beds. Then, in a third room, Mr. Wazir's brother, Akhtar Mohammed, 20, his brother's new bride, 18-year-old Bibi Nazia, and a nephew, Essa Mohammed, 15, were killed.
All of the bodies were found afterward, after being dragged into the front room, blankets and clothes piled on top, and then torched, Mr. Wazir and other witnesses say.
Mr. Wazir says the corpse of his 2-year-old daughter Palwasha was amid the charred bodies. He believes she was burned alive. "I checked her body, and there were no bullet marks."
The intruder faced no resistance because the locals were used to U.S. night raids. There was one in the same cluster of houses just five days earlier, Mr. Wazir says, after a roadside bomb hit a U.S. armored vehicle nearby.
He says U.S. troops threatened village elders after the bombing, warning them the village will pay a price if such attacks occur again.
A U.S.-led coalition spokesman in Kabul, U.S. Army Col. Gary Kolb, said the military "won't speak to any specifics of what some of the villagers are saying." He said he had no information about the bombing described by Mr. Wazir because not every such incident is reported to Kabul.
Like other villagers—and Afghan President Hamid Karzai—Messrs. Wazir and Baran say they believe more than one shooter was involved, if only because of the effort needed to move and burn 11 bodies. U.S. officials say they believe there was a single assailant..
Amid other mementos in his home are his children's books, pens, pencils and toys. The Wazir kids were good in school, and Pashtun literature—full of poems and folk tales about heroic ancestors—was their favorite subject, Mr. Wazir said.
The family's only other survivor is Mr. Wazir's 4-year-old son Habib, who was with him on the trip to Spin Boldak. Habib didn't realize that the burned bodies piled in his front yard were those of his mother, brothers and sisters, Mr. Wazir says.
"He was asking me about the cadavers, and I tried to make him leave, but he wouldn't, he just kept crying," says Mr. Wazir. "He keeps asking me about his mother, brothers and sisters. Sometimes, he wakes up in the middle of the night."
The killer seemed to lose his steady aim with his next targets in Syed Jaan's household nearby.
Mr. Jaan was away, on a trip to Kandahar city, when his wife, brother, brother-in-law and three-year-old nephew were killed. Two nephews, Rafiullah, 7, and Shokriya, 8, were hit in the lower part of their bodies, but are expected to survive.
Mr. Jaan's 6-year-old niece Zardana, shot in the head, was still lying unconscious in a Kandahar hospital earlier this week, and wasn't expected to survive, he said.
U.S. defense officials on Thursday said the death toll in the massacre was 17, up from 16. They didn't immediately explain the change.
Zardana had asked Mr. Jaan, 50, to bring back new clothes on a recent trip to the city, something he couldn't afford. "Whenever I go to the hospital and see her, I remember that time and her request," Mr. Jaan says. "I feel helpless and vulnerable, and just can't hold back tears."

By RACHEL BACHMAN first five-loss squad, and were recovering from losing seven coaches to other programs since last season, including head coach Bret Bielema in an oddly lateral move to Arkansas.
But before Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany could record a stirring voice-over about conference jobs being outsourced to the South, the Cardinal kicked a 22-yard field goal and sealed a 20-14 victory with an interception, preserving the painful status quo.
The Rose Bowl carried over the conference's dismal vibe of 2012, which was a good year to stockpile Pabst Blue Ribbon in a windowless room and hibernate. Delany rang in that year by warning that a plus-one (remember that?) postseason football format was a "slippery slope" that would lead to an ever-expanding playoff. But by June, Delany and other college-football leaders had joined the landslide, adding a four-team playoff that will replace the Bowl Championship Series in 2014.
The Big Ten watched two of its flagship teams—Ohio State and Penn State—serve postseason bans for NCAA transgressions. The conference also watched longtime man-crush Notre Dame finally commit, sort of, by agreeing to play five football games annually with the Atlantic Coast Conference. The Big Ten wrapped up the year by caving to TV-market lust and embracing football nonentities Maryland and Rutgers as future members.
It was a year to forget—and then the Big Ten went 1 for 5 in Tuesday's bowl games.
No. 8-ranked Stanford beat the traditionally rugged Big Ten at its own game, holding prolific rusher Montee Ball to one touchdown and Wisconsin scoreless in the second half to notch its first Rose Bowl victory since 1972.
Barry Alvarez, who was 3-0 in the game as Wisconsin's coach in the 1990s, coached in Bielema's place as the Badgers lost the Rose Bowl for the third straight year.
The unranked Badgers weren't exactly the Big Ten's best and brightest this season. They landed in the Rose Bowl by emerging from the same division as Ohio State and Penn State, who finished ahead of them, then beating Nebraska in the Big Ten championship game.
Also on Tuesday, Michigan hung with South Carolina in the Outback Bowl despite an onslaught of big plays and the battering of pass rusher Jadeveon Clowney, whose signature hit sent running back Vincent Smith's helmet flying. But the Wolverines lost 33-28 on a 32-yard, last-minute touchdown pass by backup quarterback Dylan Thompson.
Nebraska stayed with Georgia in the Capital One Bowl for three quarters before falling victim to Aaron Murray's five touchdown passes and simply falling short, 45-31. It was the Cornhuskers' third consecutive loss in a bowl game.
Poor Purdue (6-7) played out of its league and was annihilated by Oklahoma State, 58-14, in the Heart of Dallas Bowl. That game gets the seventh pick out of the Big Ten, which this season was like getting the third choice of seats in a Miata.
The Big Ten's stirring consolation prize came from an unlikely color: purple. Northwestern beat Mississippi State, 34-20, in the Gator Bowl, its first bowl victory since the 1949 Rose Bowl. On the field, the Wildcats and coach Pat Fitzgerald celebrated like they had just won National Merit scholarships.
The Big Ten soon will share its near-monopoly on New Year's Day—it has tie-ins in five of the six games—with the playoff, and there are no guarantees the conference will have a team in it. The nation's top four will make the four-team field, and recent finishes suggest it could be laden with those from college football's Legion of Doom, the Southeastern Conference.
But the Big Ten's lost season did hint at hope. Penn State was a surprisingly competitive 8-4 in the first year of its four-postseason ban in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky sex-abuse scandal. Ohio State went 12-0 despite its postseason ban, and both Michigan and the Buckeyes have been recruiting at an SEC level. They rank first and fifth, respectively, in Scout.com's recruiting rankings for 2013.
February's signing day aside, Big Ten fans might be forgiven for rooting for a slow-news off-season. There's much to prepare for, and in the last year before the playoff, hibernation is not an option.
