A
Limiting Factor is the available
amount of the scarcest resource
necessary for life.
Here we come to a
very important
idea. It is
the idea of limiting
factors.
Every organism needs
resources to draw
on, for example, an
energy source
(food), water,
special elements in
nutrients, oxygen or
carbon dioxide, a
comfortable temperature range,
shelter, and so
on. If the
organism does not
have access to a particular
essential resource, it will
stop growing,
struggle, and die.
The
abundance or
scarcity of the
resource is a limiting
factor in terms
of the number of a
type of organism
that can live in a
specific
environment.
Let's think of this
in terms of
examples, which will
make this idea easy
to understand.
Why
are there no plants
on this hill?
This hill is located
in Death Valley, a
desert area in
California. The
limiting factor here
is the availability
of water.
Infrequent rains
wash down these
steep slopes and
flow away in a
short lived
stream. Such
water as soaks into
the earth is quickly
surrendered to the
hot sun and
evaporates away.
Why
do people and air
breathing animals drown?
When
people sink into
water, they
drown.
Why? There is
a limiting factor --
oxygen.
Our lungs cannot
absorb oxygen from
water, nor get rid
of the carbon
dioxide in our blood
in it.
Air-breathing
organisms
can live only a very
few minutes without
oxygen.
Why
are there no lizards
in polar regions?
The
bodies of cold
blooded (exothermic)
animals are the same
temperature as their
environment.
In the hot deserts
the snakes and
lizards move slowly
in the morning and
lie out in the sun
so that their bodies
and their internal
chemistry can warm
up. The
limiting factor here
is temperature.
I don't know if a
lizard in Antarctica
would ever get warm
enough to feel
hungry or to be able
to move enough to
find or capture
food. There
are very few insects
to eat there anyway.
Why
are there no sheep
in Antarctica?
Well,
sheep are
warm-blooded (endotherms)
but they are
grazers, and the
Antarctic is too
cold to grow
grass. (Well,
there are a few
sprigs of one kind
of grass that does
grow on the exposed
earth there.)
Also almost all of
the land is covered
by ice and snow, so
there is no
available soil to
provide nutrients
for the
grass. The
sheep would freeze
to death in
Antarctica anyway
(limiting
factor: their bodies
cannot deal with
this very cold
climate) and would
also starve if they
lived long
enough. The
grass also has two
problems -- low
temperatures, and water
that cannot be
absorbed when
frozen.
Seasonal
Resources
Limiting
factors can be
seasonal. In
much of the world
the winter is too
cold to support
plant growth, but
the return of spring
brings warmer
temperatures and
lush
vegetation.
In
deserts, if there
has been rain during
the cooler months,
there may be a
brief but lavish
display of flowers
in the
spring.
It is important for
desert plants to
rush to the seed
making stage before
the water disappears
again. Here
you can see a plant
that "made
it". The
dry, empty seed pods
tell us of its
success.
Light
also varies from
season to
season. In
polar regions the
plants, warmed
somewhat by the
long, sunny days,
photosynthesize and
grow rapidly in
summer. They
have evolved to grow
rapidly from seed to
plant to flower to
seed again in the
short gtowing
season. The
limiting factor here
is time. There
is only a short
period during which
all the other
important factors
are available.
Even the
harvest of the
seasons can be
affected by such
events as extensive
forest fires
or large
volcanic
eruptions. If
enough fine ash
makes its way into
the atmosphere, it
can block out some
of the sun's heat
and light, creating
colder than usual
weather. The
amount of light and
heat available
become the limiting
factors for plant
growth.
Invisible
Resources
Not
all requirements are
so obvious. It
makes sense that we
do not see lush
jungle growth in
deserts, where the
rainfall is
sometimes far less
than ten inches a
year. However,
there are other
limiting factors
that we may have to
think about a bit.
Factors like the
acidity of the soil
and the presence of
trace elements may
limit or prevent
plant growth.
In the ocean, algal
growth is limited by
the amounts of
available nitrogen,
phosphorus, or iron
dissolved in the
water.
Scientists have
experimented with
scattering iron
filings into the
ocean and have seen
rapid growth of the
seaweed and
phytoplankton.

Welcome,
benevolent viewers,
to another edition of
Good People, Good Works.
Zambia, located
in Southern Africa,
is home to the legendary
Victoria Falls, the
world’s largest waterfall.
When I look at Zambia
as a country,
it’s a very rich country.
You look
in the tourism industries,
we are doing well,
especially
with the Victoria Falls.
We have a lot of tourists
come in.
And when you look at
agriculture, we’ve got
abundant rainfall, yes,
we plant maize.
So I think on food,
we’re doing fine.
So we’ve got a very
bright future ahead of us.
This week
we travel to Lusaka,
Zambia’s capital,
for the first in a two-part
series on projects
financially supported
by Irish Aid, the
Government of Ireland’s
humanitarian assistance
organization.
Seeking to promote
peace and justice,
Irish Aid works to better
economic conditions
and foster equality
in developing nations
such as those found
in Sub-Saharan Africa.
To successfully achieve
its goals, the organization
forms close partnerships
with recipient countries,
other donors,
multilateral groups,
non-governmental
organizations
and missionaries.
Two projects that
received assistance from
Irish Aid in Lusaka are
Our Lady’s Hospice and
the Umoyo Day Center
for Orphans.
Our Lady’s Hospice is
a faith-based organization
that mainly provides
palliative care to cancer
and HIV/AIDS patients.
The facility serves
over 3,500 Zambians
on an outpatient basis
and operates
an intensive care unit.
I’ve only been here
since December 2006,
but I came to Zambia
in 1982 from Ireland,
and I first worked
in a mission hospital
in Luapula Province.
I stayed there for 13 years,
and then I moved to
the Copperbelt, where
I did home-based care
in Luanshya, and
after that I came here,
and I’m here since.
I was brought up
a Catholic in Ireland.
I became a Franciscan
sister when I was 18, and
I really wanted to serve
people and
I had a good home, and
I felt I wanted to be able
to share with
other people, so I thought
I would like to work with
the underprivileged
and the poor.
So, by joining the
Franciscan Missionaries
of the Divine Motherhood,
I have the opportunity
to come and
help people in Zambia.
The Zambian people are
very spiritual people.
And most Zambians
worship in church.
But many of them
are Catholic.
And we want to be able
to provide services
for them when they come
here when they’re ill.
Our Lady’s Hospice
has a program to help
youngsters who are
HIV positive
cope with their condition.
Usually it’s only
for the children who
know their (HIV positive)
status, so when we meet
once a month,
we sit down and they
bring out stories, so they
encourage one another,
“Even me,
I’m in your situation,
even me, I’m like this,
my parent is doing this,
my caregiver is…”
So we encourage them,
we sit together
by discussing with
their friends, they open up.
The antiretroviral drugs
that the Hospice
dispenses which halt
the progression of
the HIV disease are
truly making a difference
in the lives of those
with the condition
in local communities.
I am a pharmacy attendant,
assistant in short.
We normally come to
discuss the drugs, the
ARVs (Anti-Retrovirals)
and then we prepare
for the inpatients.
After that we take
the drugs that side.
But mainly it’s the
distribution of the ARVs.
That is mostly done.
For those who are tested
after their CD4
(T-cell count) results
are out and they are
eligible to start the drugs,
we give them
the (antiretroviral) drugs.
And there are a lot of
people coming in to
get their drugs, which is
so encouraging, because
at least people are testing
and they are knowing
their (HIV) status.
At least they will know
how to live positively
than when they just
stay at home and
they don’t know.
The non-profit Center
for Infectious Disease
Research in Zambia
(CIDRZ) sponsors
a puppetry troupe to
inform HIV positive
children about how to
manage their condition,
in particular encouraging
them to regularly take
their antiretroviral drugs.
We met the troupe when
they were performing
at the Hospice.
My name is Gladys Wayama
I’m one of
the puppeteers.
I’m “Taonga”
in the puppetry team.
We started puppetry
in 2007.
It’s a CIDRZ project.
They do research
on cancer, HIV, TB and
other related diseases.
The puppetry project that
we’re doing is mainly
on ideas around stigma,
hygiene and good health,
and our objective is
reaching the pedes
(child patients),
the young ones who are
on ART (Anti-Retroviral
Therapy).
So we mainly go to
the clinics.
We've started
going through the clinics
in Lusaka.
And recently
we had a tour of
Southern Province.
I play the character of
Oliver in the performance.
And I’m a puppeteer.
I think for me, this is
the greatest job
I've had so far, and
I enjoy performing.
It is helping a lot of
children to adhere to
(taking) their medication
and just being careful
with the way they
take care of their bodies,
because it (the play)
emphasizes hygiene and
cleanliness, and
the way they’re supposed
to take their medication.
My name is
Teddy Winashiku.
I’m a doctor
in the puppetry show.
And actually the puppetry
show is for the kids.
And this is helping them
to adhere to
(taking) the medication.
So this show at the moment
has started in the clinics.
We are in the clinics,
because we’ve got ART
(antiretroviral therapy)
places in the clinics;
that’s where
kids get their treatment.
So it's all about talking
about the treatment of kids,
adhering (to treatment)
and the caregivers.
The caregivers are
the ones that we want to
also put in line with
the treatment of the child.
Looking at the child,
a child is a person who
needs a second person
to actually help out
to follow the (taking of)
medication.
We asked the puppeteers
about how
the children react
to their performances.
The response
is overwhelming.
And we have seen,
looking at the clinics
that we have been to,
we have kids when
doing their adherence
(to treatment) actually
they mention what they
learned from our script.
And that is encouraging
because they are picking
a few things from there.
The children love it
very much.
They love it.
We’ve been to
certain clinics
on several occasions,
and they just want us
to be there all the time.
They love it, because
it teaches them about
playing with one another.
Mostly, you find that
the children that are sick
are stigmatized
by their friends.
But we teach them
to love their friends
who are sick.
We are one of
the countries in Africa
that is actually doing
the best, despite (the fact)
we are in the
sub-Saharan area where
there’s a high rate of HIV.
But in Zambia,
our statistics are showing
that people are actually
complying with
the treatment, and all
the necessary measures
of not getting infected,
and others actually
are not falling off from
the treatment (regimen).
When this facility
first opened in 2003, the
majority of the patients
didn’t go out alive.
But now,
70% are going out alive.
And they’re returning
to work.
So already, the number
of new orphans
has decreased.
Many of them they get to
have their parents
back again.
They’re back working,
so the children are not
suffering because
there's no income.
So, we would hope that
people will come in time
for treatment,
so then they can
stay alive longer.
But obviously, ultimately,
we would like that
there would be
no more HIV.
So we are also trying to
give health education and
education about
how to live life and
not become infected.
And that’s the ideal.
What do Zambians wish
for their children’s future?
Zambia is a great nation.
I love to be a Zambian
and there’s a lot of
potential in our country.
That’s why mostly, when
HIV and AIDS started,
a lot of people sought out
the older people.
But today
we look at the children.
That’s why we are
seeking this group
that we have.
We are looking at
the young children
because they are
the future generation,
and they are
the future leaders.
We love our country.
My hope is that
we have in the future,
a generation
free from HIV.
That’s why we are
looking at the young ones,
because they are
the foundation of
the country, that if we
seek out the young ones,
probably
and by God’s grace,
we will have a nation
free from HIV and AIDS.
What I’m hoping for
maybe, really,
it’s for a cure, and they
give them that confidence
that no matter
their status, knowing that
they’re HIV positive,
still they can do well
in school,
they can finish school,
they can go to universities,
and they can study well,
and get a good job after
finishing their schooling.
My wish for Zambia
as a whole, of course
is to see that this peace
which we have
in this country continues
and that there will be
no conflicts, and
just peace to continue.
We commend and
salute you, Irish Aid
for your support of
Our Lady’s Hospice
which is uplifting
the lives of
the Zambian people.
Our sincere thanks,
Hospice staff as well as
the puppeteer troupe
from the Center for
Infectious Disease
Research in Zambia
for bettering the lives of
many Zambians in need.
Respected viewers,
please join us again
next Sunday on
Good People, Good Works
for the conclusion of
our two-part show
where we’ll visit
the Umoyo Day Center
for Orphans in Lusaka.

Welcome,
engaged viewers,
to this edition of
Good People, Good Works,
for the conclusion
of our two-part program
on the activities
of the charitable group
Irish Aid in Zambia,
which has helped build
the facilities
at Our Lady’s Hospice
and the Umoyo
Day Center for Orphans
in the capital city
of Lusaka.
Seeking to promote
peace and justice,
Irish Aid works to better
economic conditions
and foster equality
in developing nations
such as those found
in Sub-Saharan Africa
like Zambia.
The Umoyo Day Center
looks after
nearly 100 orphans
ages 4 to 8 during the day
and provides them with
education and hot meals.
Our Lady’s Hospice is
a faith-based organization
that mainly provides
palliative care to cancer
and HIV/AIDS patients.
We begin
with Sister Kay O’Neil,
administrator
of Our Lady’s Hospice,
showing us
around the facility.
This building was funded
by Irish Aid, and
it was opened in 2001.
And it was the first building
for this plot here,
and we started training
the caregivers
to look after the people
in their homes
suffering from HIV/AIDS.
And from then after,
we got some more
buildings, and then we
started admitting patients
and seeing to them in
the outpatients department.
In 2004, we got
free antiretroviral drugs,
and then the patients
increased enormously.
And now we’ve got over
5,000 registered patients
coming to our
outpatients (department).
This room here is
a physiotherapy (room)
for patients who
suffer side effects from
the antiretroviral drugs.
They get a lot of nerve pain
and they come here for
massage and ultrasound
and other treatments.
This is the Physiotherapy
Department.
People who have been
in bed for a long time,
they experience
maybe swollen limbs,
we give them a massage.
If they've got painful legs,
then you can
give them a massage
straight to their joints
to keep them mobile,
and also improve
on the blood circulation.
Here is a demonstration
of the massage technique
that brings relief
to patients at the Hospice.
Use some oil,
just enough, then…
…. just massage her.
This massage is just to
improve some circulation,
and also just
to relax the muscles,
and then after that,
sometimes use
a pain relief gel,
so that when
it penetrates the skin, it’s
able to relieve the pain.
Then it will be easy for me
to just move her elbow
so that it’s flexible.
Even if somebody’s
in the hospital, when they
come out of the hospital,
they should be able to
use their arm
in their daily function.
This is why
we do physiotherapy
Sister Kay O’Neil
next takes us to another
important department
in the Hospice
that provides treatment
to HIV patients.
Our latest hospice
is a facility that caters
to HIV-positive clients,
on ART
(antiretroviral therapy)
and just on
palliative management.
We are helping
the community,
because right now,
apart from giving them
the medication
which they need,
we also give them
the food supplements,
which are being produced
by other organizations.
The University
of Alabama-Birmingham
in the US provides
diagnostic services
to the Hospice.
Sister Kay now
explains further.
The members of the staff
are putting the data
of the patients
into the computer and then
it goes to Birmingham
in Alabama (USA)
for analysis.
And they give us
feedback about
how we can proceed
with the treatment
of the patient,
whether we need to change
some of their medication
or give us indication
of how they’re improving
or if they’re not
responding to the treatment.
Let us meet one of the
facility’s fine physicians,
who provides great care
to the patients.
Basically here
we care for the people
who are terminally ill.
Most of the time,
like the criteria
of admission here, for those
who are HIV positive
and all the complications
of HIV like
opportunistic infections,
then people with cancer,
those are the people
who are admitted
(to the Hospice).
Conditions like cancer,
those are
palliative conditions.
And usually
it’s just palliative care,
then we have people
like those who are
infected with HIV/AIDS.
Then there is some
opportunistic infection,
things like TB.
We do admit them.
Though sometimes
they may come
in a serious condition,
but by the grace of God,
we do manage them
properly.
Then after they start
their TB treatment,
after that,
then we initiate them with
ARVs (antiretrovirals).
I can say
that 70% of the people,
they are doing fine.
And you may find
that they are discharged
and they go back
to their homes
and some time
after initiating the ARVs,
they pick up, they go back
to their daily activities.
If they are working,
they will again recover,
they start working again.
We now visit
another project financially
supported by Irish Aid,
the Umoyo Day Center
for Orphans.
Sister Edna O’Connor
is the manager
of the facility.
I've worked here
at the center since 2003.
I’ve worked
with the children
and then we have
four teachers and
we have a coordinator.
All the children here
are orphans.
Either both their parents
are gone or one parent
may still be living
but they are usually sick.
So they're raised
by their grandparents,
aunt, uncle, or whatever.
We have 96 children
and we take them
from age four to eight.
So we start with
the very young children.
The idea is to build them up
nutritionally so there are
two meals every day.
They come to school
five days a week.
Then we have
trained teachers
for all the classes.
We have four classes;
about 24 children
in each class.
We have two cooks that
prepare delicious meals,
breakfast and lunch,
and after lunch
then they go home.
... This is the day
That the Lord has made,
that the Lord has made.
We will rejoice,
we will rejoice,
And be glad in it,
and be glad in it.
This is the day
that the Lord has made.
We will rejoice
and be glad in it,
and be glad in it.
Oh, this is the day,
this is the day
That the Lord has made.
We are the sons,
we are the sons,
Of the living God,
of the living God.
We will rejoice,
we will rejoice,
And be glad in Him,
and be glad in Him.
We are the sons
of the living God.
We will rejoice
and be glad in Him,
And be glad in Him.
Oh, we are the sons,
we are the sons
Of the living God.
When they are finished
here the children that
reach the age of seven
they go on to first grade
in government schools.
This place was built
with the help of Irish Aid,
the building itself.
We would never be able
to put up the building
if it wasn't
for that initial grant that
we got from Irish Aid.
And then other people
gave donations,
but the biggest one
was Irish Aid.
So we appreciate what
they have given to us.
We were opened in 2003;
that's when we started,
we started over
at the church and then
when this building
was built
they moved over here.
So this is
where we have been.
Isaac Kahlaya is
the Center’s coordinator
and plays
a very important role.
My work here involves
quite a lot of things.
There's a follow-up
of children who are sick,
follow-up of children
who don't go to school,
follow-up of children
who don't normally
look well.
So initially my job is
to make sure that
everything is in place,
and also the registration
of children eligible
to come for the program.
Because we are looking at
only those who are half
and full orphans.
And the main purpose
of this school is
the nutrition part of it;
that's what we're looking at.
These are orphans.
They are looking forward
to someone who can
show love to them, of which
this place is there.
So they feel good otherwise.
And sometimes,
they even come during
Saturdays or holidays' time
because of
the good reception.
They're happy, joyful,
playful children.
And that's
what you see here;
they enjoy their childhood.
There is a name
I love so much
I love so much
There is a name
I love so much
The name of Jesus Christ
Oh, how I love Jesus
Oh, how I love Jesus
Oh, how I love Jesus
Because He died for me.
Read your Bible every day
Every day, every day
Read your Bible every day
As you grow, grow, grow
As you grow, grow.
What is Sister
Edna O’Connor’s hope
for Zambian children?
That they will get
a good foundation
in education, especially,
and then also get good food
so that they'll be strong
and healthy
and be able to cope with
the ups and downs of life.
So I hopefully see
good education,
good healthcare.
I believe God loves us all.
I believe we're
all brothers and sisters.
I believe
God is our Father;
we’ve the same God;
no matter who we are,
God loves all of us.
And I think
it's our responsibility
to help and support
one another
as much as we can.
Because it comes back
in peace, it comes back
in a sense of joy.
There’s more received
than given actually.
Our appreciation,
Irish Aid for funding
benevolent projects
in Zambia and elsewhere
in the world.
We sincerely thank you,
staff members
of Our Lady’s Hospice
and the Umoyo
Day Center for Orphans
for giving great comfort
to others in need and
your dedicated efforts to
nurture orphaned children
in Lusaka.
May your service
continue to uplift
the spirits and lives
of the country’s mothers,
fathers and children.

Have been looking at new SUV's for nearly a year and test drove one at another dealership. I later reached out to that dealership and submitted a request via Ford's website for an Explorer with select options. Ron Scott contacted me quickly, found the exact car I wanted within 24 hours, and provided a good price upfront. We had a deal worked out well before 2 other dealerships even found the same car. Very happy with the overall experience at Mooresville Ford and especially with Ron. He even hugged after it was all done.

The service and parts people at Mooresville Ford are courteous and attentive. I
took a car in for routine service on a Saturday and everything was done very promptly. The service writer was efficient and everyone was very friendly. I appreciated the service I received, and will not hesitate to make a return visit! Thank you.

I just recently traveled from upstate New York to Denver, NC for a family celebration. On the way there, my F350 Super Duty 6.7 diesel lost power on the hills of Virginia. I was able make it to the campgorund(towing a fifth wheel trailer) and called the nearest Ford Dealership. Lucky for me, it was Mooresville Ford. This is a Thursday before Memorial Day weekend and I really needed the use of my truck. Brad( in service) got me right in and had it diagnosed within an hour. Luck was again on my side as they had the part in stock. It was repaired and I was on my way within two hours of my arrival. The mechanic that worked on my truck even came out and explained what he did.
This is a testament to the service in this dealership by taking care of an out of towner on time of need. Too often, the service departments in dealerships get bad press. This is one dealership I would HIGHLY RECCOMEND!!!!!

I had purchased a 2013 F-150 from Mooresville Ford several years ago (Ron Scott and John Keyes) and the buying experience was as good as could be expected. So, when I decided to look at a new F-150 I went back to Mooresville Ford. I did not go anywhere else as Ron Scott and John Keyes both spent a great deal of time finding me the vehicle that I wanted at a price that no one else could possibly beat. I would like to commend both of them and Mooresville Ford not only for their commitment and professionalism, but with treating their customers in an honest and open manner. If you are looking at purchasing a Ford vehicle I would recommend that you try Mooresville Ford first, I don’t think you’ll have to go anywhere else. Thanks Ron Scott and John Keyes.

Probably
the greatest letdown yet for the traditional
Holocaust
school of thought came during the second
week
of the Irving vs. Lipstadt libel trial, currently
underway
in London. While many
prominent defenders of
the
usual story had predicted that Irving would be
forced
to concede that he was wrong, and that
Holocaust
Revisionism would be exposed as a "sham,"
nothing
of the kind occurred.
In
fact, when the world's leading authority on
Auschwitz,
Robert Jan van Pelt appeared, he was not
able
to prove the dubious proposition that about one
million
people had been gassed and cremated at that
most
notorious concentration camp. Instead,
van Pelt
was
reduced to making the following bizarre claim:
We
may assert as moral certainty the statement that
Auschwitz
was an extermination camp where the Germans
killed
around one million people with the help of gas
chambers,
and where they incinerated their remains in
crematoria
ovens.
Of
course, a "moral" certainty is not a normal
certainty.
Indeed, we are inclined to regard a "moral
certainty"
as a "less than certainty" that requires a
little
moral support. After all, the
Law of Gravity
is
not a "moral certainty," it just is.
Dr. Johnson
refuted
Bishop Berkeley's claim about the unreality of
matter
by kicking a stone. He did
not do so by
appealing
to the stone's conscience. So the
long-awaited
proof that van Pelt offered to the court
in
London requires a little explanation, not least
because
his explanation, in our view, harbingers not
moral
certainty, but the certainty of future evil.
To
clarify
why this is so, we have to put van Pelt's
appeal
to faith in context.
For
the first fifteen years after World War Two, there
was
little heard about the Nazi camps, or mass
gassings,
or anything else. It was
generally agreed
that
millions died in the camps, but there was no
systematic
discussion of the matter. All
of this
changed
in the 1960's, first, with the publication of
two
books, William L. Shirer's Rise and Fall of the
Third
Reich and Raul Hilberg's Destruction of the
European Jews. These books had a certain amount of
impact,
because they repeated, albeit selectively,
some
of the more gruesome claims made at the Nuremberg
Trials.
Far
more important than either of these books however
was
the trial of Adolf Eichmann in 1961, and
especially
the propaganda associated with the Six-Day
War
in 1967.
For the first time,
we began to get a
differentiated
picture of the German atrocities, and
one
which focused almost completely on the fate of the
Jewish
people: it was here that we began to get the
"Holocaust"
that we have come to know and love. It
is
important
to note here that prior to the 1970s,
historians
rarely spoke in any detail about the Nazi
atrocities,
save to make a few comments about
"millions"
or possibly a passing reference to "gas
ovens."
Since
that time such comments, expanded with grisly
detail
and ideological content, have become almost
ritualistic.
This is the context in which modern
Holocaust
revisionism actually arose. Two of the
original
proponents, Robert Faurisson and Arthur R.
Butz,
simply took the received Holocaust claims and
subjected
them to standard historical analysis to see
how
well they stood up. The
claims did not stand
well;
hence, the demonizing of revisionism began then.
But
the empirical analysis of Butz, and particularly
Faurisson,
set the stage for empirical, on-site
archaeological
and forensic analyses which, by the end
of
the 1980s, had cast severe doubts on the veracity
of
Holocaust claims pertaining to mass gassing at
precisely
the time when such claims began to dominate
public
discussion.
It
was in order to salvage the traditional story that
the
Beate Klarsfeld Foundation published in 1989 a
lengthy
book by the Frenchman, Jean Claude Pressac,
who
attempted to prove the mass gassings simply on a
documentary
and physical basis. However,
the problem
with
Pressac's study is that he was not able to prove
the
existence of gas chambers at all, he could only
suggest
it, based on a tortured reading of the
remaining
documents and on what he called "criminal
traces"
for the existence of gas chambers.
Judging
by the content of his previous work, as well
as
his associations, it would probably be fair to
characterize
Robert Jan van Pelt as a protégé of
Pressac.
What he has tried to do in his writings as
well
as in his expert opinion is to prove that the
mass
gassings took place more or less as tradition has
decreed
and more or less on the basis of documents,
rather
than testimony.
But
van Pelt's expert report offers a big surprise.
In
the 330 pages of the report devoted to proving the
mass
gassing claim, 300 of these pages simply repeat
some
of the earliest propaganda claims. To
be sure,
van
Pelt makes a few half-hearted gestures in arguing
that
these early stories "corroborate" each other, but
in
fact the arguments for "independent corroboration"
are groundless. Then, when
he turns to the
documentary
record, van Pelt, like his predecessors,
can
find no specific references to gassing, no
blueprints
or architectural drawings that point to the
construction
of gas chambers, no proof of
architectural
modifications or even the fitting of the
holes
and wire mesh columns, all of which are vital to
the
legendary interpretation. Instead,
he offers only
a
few ambiguous documents and a "moral certainty."
And
where does van Pelt find "moral certainty? He
finds
it in the writings of John Wilkins, whose Of the
Principles
and Duties of Natural Religion from 1675 is
one
of the classics of" natural
religion," a
philosophical
and theological school that seeks to
prove
the existence of God, Providence, and thus
adherence
to the Scriptures on the basis of design in
Nature,
or, if you prefer, "criminal traces" of the
existence
of supernatural entities.
Let's
be clear about what we are saying here, and
about
what van Pelt is saying here. Religious
truth
exists
for any believer, and no one should have any
qualms
about that. But at the same time, we recognize
that
the truths of faith should be restricted to
communities
of believers; that's one of the reasons
why
the United States makes a distinction between
Church
and State.
It
should also be added that many Jewish groups, and
particularly
the ADL, have been quite adamant in
insisting
on the strict separation of sectarian
beliefs
("Church") from practically any public,
political,
or social manifestation ("State").
Van
Pelt's
"moral certainty" is not only self-consciously
based
on, but deliberately models, a highly sectarian
belief
system, which, since it cannot be proved
outside
of a moral context, can be either accepted or
rejected
by a rational mind. Therefore,
if such a
"moral
certainty" is used, either for purposes of
pleading
justification for libel, or for purposes of
institutionalizing
it as a universal truth, it is
violating
the right of citizens to reject this truth.
It
is even more pernicious than that. By
definition,
the
flip side of a "moral certainty" is an "immoral
doubt."
What this means is that anyone who fails to
accept
the certainty being offered runs the risk of
being
ostracized and marginalized as "immoral" simply
because
they cannot or will not accept the truth of
something
which someone else believes. This
opens the
door
for persecution, and further libel: after all, if
someone
is immoral, why should we care about them?
Despite
the common assurances that "You can't
legislate
morality," the fact is that once something
is
defined in the social context as immoral,
eventually
it becomes criminal as well. There's
no
real
mystery to this, in the sense that legislation is
frequently
just a way to memorialize our own
prejudices.
Hence, if we accept the equation of doubt
with
immorality in this particular case, we are well
down
the slippery slope that will lead to the eventual
criminalization
of anyone who is unlucky enough to
entertain
doubts about the Holocaust story, however
the
moral certainties of this story are retailed by
the
then reigning academic experts.
But
this crime will be unlike other crimes.
We can
accept
that societies will from time to time decide
that
certain actions must be deemed unlawful. Some of
these
laws may be problematic, or involve unacceptable
interference
in the private lives of individuals:
prohibition
of alcohol, drug use, prostitution, and
abortion
come to mind as examples. The
rights and
wrongs
of these can be debated, but they all involve
actions;
not simply words, but deeds. But
the
foreseen
violation of the "moral certainty" of
Auschwitz
will not involve any action that could
conceivably
be considered threatening. It would
involve
nothing more than the mental inability to
accept
as truth that which your betters insist is the
truth.
In other words, accepting the idea of the
"moral
certainty" of mass gassings at Auschwitz will
eventually
lead to a new species of
violation,—criminal
acts that happen inside your head.

%he
scope of Public Administration has expanded
with
the
I
rise of the modem administrative state. Its growing importance in

is
evident in the birth of

The

LAZARUS WAS A HOUSE ON FIRE (WOMAN) by Audrey Dimola
LAZARUS WAS A HOUSE ON FIRE (WOMAN)
i.
‘well aren’t you a fascinating creature,’
he mouths through mists of drink and i don’t think
he recognizes the perceptivity of that word choice
and no, i don’t mean fascinating- i mean
the other word, the one reserved
for the feathered and furred and
women like me whose bones
sing songs like fires
in the landscape
in my belly there is a house in
flames and i lit it
those rarities of space in which
we can stand inside our nakedness
human incantation of the wild
woman, incarnation of the
burning
she was the one who
taught him
he never saw
the body as an altar
how to nourish a universe
with your own blood, selfless-
WOMAN-
you need no scripture
to remind you
what is inherently
yours.
this is dancing in the
temple with feathered
wings
this is the vibration
you came from
grounded
this is the deer you
locked eyes with
in the mists
before sunrise
this is the presence
you came from
persist
this is the ocean
you crashed through
on new year’s day
this is the
shock in the
aliveness
laughing
these are your
mother’s hands your
grandmother’s throat
arms that scale the
walls and legs that
make roads
whether blamed or
exonerated, whose
hand lit the match?
i tell them
i did, I DID IT
to remind myself
how to be brave enough
to re-birth
how to be whole enough
to remain free
when asked-
what would you save from
a house on fire?
i say-
a torch,
the fire.
me.
ii.
if i took my clothes off
in front of you
would you press your palms
against the windows
in my flesh
try to suffuse the light
always stretching outwardly
try to bind the slivers that
split between your fingers
the smoke that pours from
my bones, each
expression
inside the gesture,
he said
is what’s precious
so what lives inside
this moment?- this breath
this hand over hand
earth under fingernails,
climbing, this-
holy stillness
in the middle
of the night
your
skin i lull to
comfort, my blood
transfigured as
eternal mother, these
eyes filled with
emotion that never quite
spills, just-
wells, just- stays-
when i met myself in
the bent mirror at
the cloud gate
for the first time!
Seeing, with a capital S,
stretched
like all the light from
windows
like all the restless
fingers like
i know my womanhood
is wilderness and i will
go to the grave defending
that
because i’ve been inside
the ground
i’ve dug that pit i’ve
laid with the mud
uninhabited, i
know what it feels like
to
surrender your eyes
and your heart and
your throat not to
god but to
nothing.
but i am self-willed.
the word wild is a contraction of
the word willed
and this is self-willed land
this is
bones cleaving so
shoulders can crack and
wings can breathe,
fanned full against the space-
inward, seeking wonder!
i said i saw myself
in the ground
he said, in the gesture is
the treasure, what
do i want my fellow
souls to remember?
see me as the movement
of standing up out of
your own grave
icarus returned as
the messenger
they plucked my
heart from
inside the ribs
of lazarus
i said
my
womanhood is
wilderness
and i will never
apologize
for that.

Queer girl and accidental activist
Category Archives: speaking out
It feels like a splinter that started
with just a little pinprick
a tiny seed of doubt
and a soupçon of discomfort
With every new motion
every new word
wiggled back
and forth
and back again
worming its way through layers
under my skin
The resurrection
of old words
old misdirections
in new context
(but not really so new
maybe
after all
maybe just the same context
the same play
with different players)
pushed it down deeper
inflamed it with memory
and ire
and wrongness
tainted the flesh
the space between heart and mind
The heart
wanting sameness
wanting closeness
wanting to forget
and forgive
and ignore
Both embroiled in
unwanted contest
for right
and true
and real
the struggle
working the splinter
deeper down
and deeper still
The heart wants
what the heart wants
at least
I think that’s what they always say
but I have met my heart
and known its desires
and seen where they lead
when left to run amok
The mind wants, too
to reconcile the goodness known
with the wrongness introduced
but
unlike the heart
it knows when to say enough
enough!
ENOUGH!
The mind recognizes futility
demands dissociation
The mind seldom leads
into the fire
like the heart
so I listen
I heed
I comply
the splinter comes to rest
in the heart
and it aches
and it twinges
but it buffets the splinter
in the things the mind cannot give
washes away the infection
the inflammation
and finally
even the splinter itself
is pushed out with the blood
out through the muscles
back up into the skin
through the layers
until
it’s just a pinprick again
Whenever I’m ready
I can pluck it out
blow it off my fingertip
into the wind
of a brand new day

Problem
Your Earth
science class is conducting an experiment to determine the salt concentrations in an estuary, a place
where a freshwater river flows into the salty seawater of an ocean. You have been told that in the
inland portion of an estuary, the less-dense river water overrides the denser seawater.
You have collected seven samples of water from different locations in
the estuary. You have also collected a sample of pure river water and a sample of pure seawater. You
make concentrated samples by boiling each estuary sample until it is reduced to 250 mL. Then you fill
seven test tubes halfway with each concentrated sample. Next, you make reference samples in seven
more test tubes. The table shows the contents of each reference test tube.
Study the illustration and table and answer the questions that
follow.

24.
Knowing that
river water is usually brownish in color and seawater is clear, how could you use the river
water/seawater samples to determine the composition of the estuary water samples?
25.
Would the
method described in question 1 provide a precise measurement of the ratio of river water to seawater
in the estuary samples? Why or why not?
26.
What
property of seawater might you use to determine the actual ratio of river water to seawater in the
estuary samples? Explain your answer.
27.
Would you
expect the concentration of salt to be the same or different in each estuary sample? Explain your
answer.

HEART Of AN ARMY
8[N AT ITS BASE
Hundreds of Guns Parked-Business
Goes on in Village
as Usual
Bhind British Lines in France, July
22-Correspondence of the Associat
ed Press-As General Headquarters
is the brain of the army from which
all orders emanate, so "The Base" is
'im a very large measure the heart
whence the blood circulates to the re
motest parts of the body.
A visit to a base showvs that it is
something far bigger and more com
p~rehensive than a camp; it is a dlis
trict. Its center is a town of size and
importance; a town whtose church
spires and towers rendler it visible
from a long dlistance, while its rail
ways andI street car lines present a
busy scene (luring all hours of the (lay
andl night. There is a large civilian
population, carrying on business as
usual, though air raids are frequemi
and, demol ished houses are constant
reminders of ever-present dlanger. The
Town Hall has been badly damaged,
andl a shothole from a long-range
naval gun can be seen in the towver.
All Nations rn Plaza
In the streets of the town people of
all five Continents jostle each other.
TIhere are the French, civilian and
military; there are British troops of
iall ranks and dlescriptions, even the
khaki-clad wvomen of the auxiliary
army corps; there are Australians,
Canadians, Americans, Belgians, Chi
nese, East Indlians and African ne
groes. The latter make excellent
transport drivers, while the Chinese
tare employedl on ordinary labor of
various kinds.
.The sight of twvo Chineae bathing
in a small puddle in a busy square,
using their soap by turns a~nd drying
themselves on strips of rag wvith the
oriental unconcern as to all that is
gomng on aroundl them, is becoming fa
mailar. Tlheir camp is some distance
from the towvn, and their nearest
neighbors are the Inhabitants of a
G;erman~ prisoner-of-wz'r ca.mp, who
can be see'n daily at work ihi a leisure
ly manner on a military railway.
Their work im .he opecn has tannedl
them to almost A frican brown, and

gests that they are very well content
ed yvith their lot am; are not at all
anxious to attemp~t escape.
Guns Parked Everywhere
In the towni itself can be seen guns
by the hundred, packed as clos. as
they cnn possibly be packedl. Outside
the town are other parks of artillery
andl wagons and (lumps of munitions
and engineering materials.
There are camps everywhere, sonme
for men waiting to go up the line,
others for those who are employedl

ASKS FARMERS TO SOW
417,000,000 ACRtES WH EAT
Washington, .July 21.--The Depart -
meat of Agriculture, it wvas an
nouncedl todayi, has askedl farmers to
sow 47,500,000 acres in winter wheat
this fall. This woukl yield :approxi
mately (367,000,000 bushels-the
greatest winter wheat crop in history.
While the reqluest specifically men
tions 45,000,000 acres as the area to
be sown, it asks farmers if they can
not raise the total to 47,500,000 acres.
The latter acreage would be a 12'
per cent inerease ov'er last year andl
wouldl provide abundantly for the
needs of the alliedl nations.
.When harvest time rolls around it
will be known as the "Libert~y Wheat
HaIrvest," accordling to the plan of the
department. Officials also plan corre
sponding increases in the p)rodluction(
of spring wvheat andl livestock. The
last crop report forecast a 1918 har
best of 890,930,000 bushels of winter
and spring wehat. If weather condli-r
lions next year are favorable the 1919 i
harvest of winter and spring wheat
will be well over the billion mark ini
bushels.
F~rom the 45,000,000 acreage, how
ever, a total of 6316,000,000 bushels
would be .raised,. on the basis of an
average yieldl of 15.7 bushels per acre
and an abandonment of 10 per cent of'
the area sowvn on account of winter
Even wvith a normal good cr01p, such
as ,is evident for this fall, tho (coun
try's reserve supiply, or "carry-over, "
is practically exhausted, it is saidl, Oj
and at aill events is the smallest on i
recordl. It's up> to the farmers this fall
and next s~rmng to buildl up) a suffi- s
cient reserve.
This is how the department figures :

The Others grouping is a very broad church, involving a number of left-leaning independents and smaller parties (including the United Left Alliance grouping), as well as business/reform independents and disaffected former members of Fianna Fail, Fine Gael and Labour. The model would guesstimate that 10 of the 17 seats allocated to Others would fall to left-leaning independents/smaller parties, including six seats for United Left Alliance candidates (Barry – Cork NC, Daly – Dublin N, Collins – Dublin SC, Higgins – Dublin W, Boyd Barrett – Dun L, Healy – Tipperary S).

As noted a number of times, this is a very rough model based on a “uniform swing” assumption – assuming that the national swing from the 2007 general election support levels to current opinion poll support levels would be replicated exactly in each constituency. As a result, it can over-inflate constituency support estimates in constituencies where parties/groupings were already starting from a very high base; e.g. Fine Gael in Mayo, Labour in Kildare South, Others in Dublin Central, Galway West, Tipperary North and Wicklow. But, in terms of the overall national estimation of seat estimates it could be argued that the over-estimation of support levels in some constituencies is compensated for by under-estimating the probable party support levels in other constituencies; e.g. Fine Gael in Dublin Central and Wicklow, Labour in Dublin North Central and Louth – hence, the award of an extra seat to a party in an “over-estimated” constituency may be compensated by the “non-award” of a seat in an “under-estimated constituency”. The high national support level for the Others grouping probably cannot be adequately illustrated as, given that it is based around 2007 support patterns, it cannot detect areas where new independent and small party candidates may poll exceptionally well in this coming election; e.g. Donegal North East, Wexford.
The model predicts that Fine Gael would win 76 seats and the reality is that the party will likely win a seat in Dublin Central and second seat in Wicklow which the poll fails to detect (of course, there may be other constituencies where the Fine Gael vote is over-estimated and the seats predicted here may not fall to the party – possibly the second seat in Kerry North-West Limerick, third seat in constituencies where the party is predicted to win three out of four seats, while the high level of seats predicted within Cork may not arise following the election of a Fianna Fail leader from that county). Over and above the 78 seats level, are there any other constituencies where Fine Gael could realistically win extra seats to push them closer to an overall majority? The most likely contenders would include a seat in Dublin North West, second seats in Dublin North, Galway East and Meath East, a third potential seat in Wicklow. As the party’s national support levels edges closer to the 40 per cent mark and the “Kenny Krusade” gains pace, the prospects of an overall Fine Gael majority increase, but on the present high-30s poll levels it must be said the party effectively requires a perfect storm of good fortune in terms of vote transfers across a number of constituencies in order to hit the magic 83 seat mark.

I’m not sure how you’re breaking down your figures but I can’t see how you are giving FG just 12% in Dublin Central.
Everybody (of all political colours) has said that Paschal Donohoe is likely to get a seat here. 12% would be a drop of 10% in FG’s vote in the 2009 by-election and up just 2% on their 2007 performance. Given the current polling that seems unrealistic. Perhaps you need to look at that one again.
I think something has gone with your numbers, Adrian. You yourself have openly predicted Donohoe would take the second seat in Dublin Central. Now you have him winning none after his party climbed three nationally? That makes no sense. You have Fine Gael losing seats in places where they have two despite vote increases. You should recheck your figures.
Two indo’s is very unlikely in Dublin Central. Also FG would get a seat and given the division within FF there there’ll be no FF seat.
SF in Dublin Central or Laois Offaly would be more likely than Dublin Mid West.
I know you’ve been applying uniform swings throughout and that they’ve been useful as a guide since you started these last year. But now that candidates have been declared, I think to be credible you have to adjust individual constituencies. Wicklow will naturally be the first I check. Which of the two declared Independents do you see taking it?
Several posters say Adrian’s model is inaccurate based on calculations from a few individual constituency – which misses the point made in the article : “in terms of the overall national estimation of seat estimates it could be argued that the over-estimation of support levels in some constituencies is compensated for by under-estimating the probable party support levels in other constituencies; e.g. Fine Gael in Dublin Central…”.
A good case can be made for Donohoe winning a seat in the old constituency of Bertie Ahern, but i would not push it.
As you can see I do predict an extra bum on the Leinster House seats for Enda Kenny’s army, but it is very far from certain.
In the meantime Mary FitzPatrick of Fianna Fáil has waged a very strong campaign ; it will ccome down to whether she gets ahead of Donohoe after Cyprian Brady’s likely elimination. If she succeeds, Donohoe probably will not be a TD.
On the other side of the coin, I harbour increasing doubts about Mary-Lou McDonald’s prospects, because she faces strong competition from Christy Burke and Cierán Perry.
I am sure you could amke similar guesses across all the cosntituencies, but you will not call them all accurately. Which brings us back nicely to Adrian’s original point.
Hi
How can you predict two fg seats in Cork north central, THe seats in that const. will go 1lab 1sf 1 fg and 1 socialst party and i will wager my house on that. also you have Sinn fein on 0% in cork north west, i live in cork north west and Des O’Grady votes will decide if lab or fg get the last seat

4:00 a.m.
The Oregon surf pounds
against the heating ducts
in his bedroom basement,
except he lives in Utah.
Within an hour
two sump pumps and a water vac
shoot steady streams
out two windows and a door,
barely keeping even
with the five inches of river winding
between table legs, bookshelves,
beds, dissertation notes.
He stands ankle-deep
at the urinal
such a long time
he thinks he's pumping floodwater
up through the soles
of his bare feet.
He thinks of all
that must be done:
turn off the gas,
unplug the typewriter,
radio, television, lamps,
pull up carpets,
carry out the couch,
call the insurance agent,
find the policy,
read the policy,
change insurance companies.
A dozen neighbors stand
in his bedroom,
talk about what he should do next.
The two cats run upstairs,
their fur bushed out,
eyes wide,
their bodies crouched so low
they look like black logs
floating up a waterfall.
The poodle whines,
dumps on the bedroom water,three small tokens of fear
swirling off toward the sump pump.
Outside, rain continues
dimpling the backyard lake
like thousands of trout
rising to mosquitoes.
He feels trout under his feet,
crawdads scuttling through the carpet.
He grabs his flyrod from the storage room,
casts into a riffle at the edge of his desk
where an enormous Germnan brown lies
just behind the wastebasket.
It hits the fly
and they battle down the hallway
crashing from wall to wall.
It tries to snag the line
under the bathroom door,
wraps it around the toilet.
But he has it,
grabs it by the gills
and runs shouting and splashing
through the basement,
holding it above his head
calling "Wife! Wife!
Look what I caught!"
His wife stands at the top
of the basement stairs,
the 20-foot telephone cord
wrapped around her legs,
the receiver dangling from her hand
like a dead river-rat.
"It's Daughter.
She's getting married.
Wants to have the reception here
next week."
He thinks of gondolas.
A forty-foot yacht
anchored in the family room,
an ice sculpture of entwined dolphins,
platters of prawn, skewers of lobster,
the caterer's launch
chuffing off for more champagne,
all the bright sailboats of his neighbors
sliding around the bedroom buoys,
loaded with gifts, flashing in the sun ...
"Of course! Of course!" he shouts,
"We'll serve them trout!" Burning the House
The flood failed,
merely wiped out
the basement carpets,
drapes, books and two tables.
The earthquake he had counted on
to swallow up the garage
with the Datsun and the VW
hasn't even occurred.
That leaves fire.
He could start it in the chimney;
let it shoot into the conversation pit
then swirl up and down the stairs.
It would cleanse the wom carpets,
purify the discolored linoleum,
bathe the cobwebs into nothing.
He can hear brittle shingles
snapping like campfire sparks,
can smell basement spiders
melting in n-dd-air.
Of course, he'll have to save
his stamp collection, his autographed books,
his shotgun, all the artwork,
photo albums, his only suit,
the microwave oven, the new fridge,
his wife's two-piece swimsuit, his wife,
all the earrings he bought her,
his favorite ballpoint pen,
the stereo and all the records,
the eight-foot fig tree in the livingroom,
the poodle, the golden lab, both cats,
the four-slice'toaster, the Navajo rug,
the camp tent and stakes, the Coleman stove,
and all his tax records since 1964.
He'll have to cover
the redleaf maple, the two plum trees,
all his evening primrose.
He'll have to move the birdfeeders,
the lawnrnower, the fishing tackle,
and what about the Christmas decorations,
the salt and pepper shakers
they bought in Kentucky,
the antique General MacArthur doll,
the Cuisinart, the blender,
and his favorite Betty Crocker Cookbook?
Suddenly, he can see it all:
charred walls, bent joists,
stepless stairways, scattered chirnney bricks.
All the things he loves
piled in the middle of the front yard.
Everything covered with ashes,
thunderclouds rumbling in the west,
all the animals wild-eyed,
screaming as the ground
begins to rattle beneath him.
Paranoia, Maybe
Babies.
Oh, you think they're cute, I know.
I've never seen a cute baby anything.
Wrinkled prunes, toothless, spastic,
inconsiderate, burbling, howling,
smelly, nasty as a half-used tube of glue-
other than that I suppose they're tolerable.
I've stopped going to movies.
My last attempt occurred
the year On Golden Pond
won an Academy Award.
I went to see it the night of
the Awards.
Only a dozen people
in a theatre fit for hundreds.
Sure enough, a baby sat behind me,
cooing and squirming for two hours.
I've never been back.
My favorite restaurant
refuses service
to children under twelve.
But I should be patient.
I should learn to forgive.
I have two daughters
recently married,
planning families,
planning to visit,
planning to drop off the kids,
planning to torture me,
drive me to suicide
to collect their inheritance
and buy silver-studded strollers,
motorized, equipped with stereo,
a loud speaker system,
and a built-in honey wagon.
But it won't work. They'll see.
I'll be the loving grandpa,
doting, pampering, whining
to all my friends
how wonderful it is
to have a grandchild.
I'll give it toys and popsicles,
walk it through the park,
swing it, slide it, rollercoaster it,
so long as there are witnesses.
Alone in the house
when it reaches for my candy
in the bedroom nightstand,
I'll say Wo no,"
and slam the drawer on its hand,
chew off its fingers
like a pack of Chicklets gum,
wrap it in a muslin sheet,
gag it and set it in front of the TV
to watch Soccer from Germany
all afternoon.
I'll tell it its mother
was adopted from a syphilitic woman
travelling through town in a VW bus.
I'll only read to it
the Original Little Red Riding Hood.
I'll buy it books without pictures.
I'll buy it Fig Newtons.
Then maybe, maybe, after all that,
the toothless little bugger
will stop grinning at me,
stop nuzzling my beard,
stop looking like me,
stop calling my name in the dark
as if I can do anything,
as if I can help,
as if 1 know all the answers.

Elizabethan Sonnet Cycles eBook
The quiet evening yet together
brings,
And each returns unto his
love at night!
O thou that art
so courteous else to all,
Why shouldst thou, Night,
abuse me only thus,
That every creature to his
kind dost call,
And yet ’tis thou dost
only sever us?
Well could I wish
it would be ever day,
If when night
comes, you bid me go away.
XXXVIII
Sitting alone, love bids me
go and write;
Reason plucks
back, commanding me to stay,
Boasting that
she doth still direct the way,
Or else love were unable to
indite.
Love growing angry, vexed
at the spleen,
And scorning reason’s
maimed argument,
Straight taxeth
reason, wanting to invent
Where she with love conversing
hath not been.
Reason reproached with this
coy disdain,
Despiteth love,
and laugheth at her folly;
And love contemning
reason’s reason wholly,
Thought it in weight too light
by many a grain.
Reason put back
doth out of sight remove,
And love alone
picks reason out of love.
XXXIX
Some, when in rhyme they of
their loves do tell,
With flames and lightnings
their exordiums paint.
Some call on heaven, some
invocate on hell,
And Fates and Furies, with
their woes acquaint.
Elizium is too
high a seat for me,
I will not come in Styx or
Phlegethon,
The thrice-three Muses but
too wanton be,
Like they that lust, I care
not, I will none.
Spiteful Erinnys
frights me with her looks,
My manhood dares not with
foul Ate mell,
I quake to look on Hecate’s
charming books,
I still fear bugbears in Apollo’s
cell.
I pass not for
Minerva, nor Astrea,
Only I call on
my divine Idea!
XL
My heart the anvil where my
thoughts do beat,
My words the hammers fashioning
my desire,
My breast the forge including
all the heat,
Love is the fuel which maintains
the fire;
My sighs the bellows
which the flame increaseth,
Filling mine ears with noise
and nightly groaning;
Toiling with pain, my labour
never ceaseth,
In grievous passions my woes
still bemoaning;
My eyes with tears
against the fire striving,
Whose scorching gleed my heart
to cinders turneth;
But with those drops the flame
again reviving,
Still more and more it to
my torment burneth,
With Sisyphus
thus do I roll the stone,
And turn the wheel
with damned Ixion.

The world as I see it, according to myself.
Menu
It comes in bursts,
like the rising and falling
of a fickle storm
with no end or
destination,
and like a storm
It is wet and violent,
treacherous to
those nearby
and beautiful to those
who watch from
their windows,
blissful and far removed.
Sometimes I seek comfort
in the storm;
in the rage, the tears,
the spiraling thoughts
and emptiness I do not
wish to feel, yet
it is all I have ever
felt. And we all
cling to the familiar.
I miss everything about you and I hate myself for that. I hate myself more than I can allow myself to hate you. You were everything to me, and I don’t know whether to feel foolish or angry for allowing myself to be treated that way. But I can’t help but want you back.
This emptiness
this agonizing ache
I cannot manage
to rid myself of
keeps it hand
firmly planted on
my shoulder
always there to
remind me of
every knife you twisted
deeper and deeper into
my spine
turning my mind
into a slab of paralyzed matter,
where it is cold and numb
and dead
and the worms have
already begun to make
their homes.
And I still cannot
fathom why I
needed to be stabbed
at all.
I am but a window
and my eyes only see
what they want me to see
and while your words effect this body,
this heart has very carefully shut itself away.
I watch myself live my life as a passive viewer,
an uninterested audience member
and only occasionally do I stop to question if this is reality
when I feel as if I am only a pawn in a video game,
alive but not quite living
There is a disease that has consumed me
A disease some might call love
Others, infatuation
Yet this foolishness
This gambling of emotions
Is only ever temporary
Soul mate is a rather nonsensical term
And all you ever did for me
Was make my stomach ache
And of course it was you I dreamt of
when my hands were tired
and my face went numb
and nothing at all seemed to matter
to the hopeless eyes
that watched the light slowly fade
and trickle into darkness.
It could only ever be you
that my thoughts drifted to
and grasped too tightly,
too firmly,
that even the darkness began
to resemble light
and the blade felt too much like your hand
to notice the difference between
blood and sweat
and what it feels like to be dying
or simply falling asleep
Herbs are wonderful and Medicinal Herbs are a joy to grow, garble and use. As I start a new herb garden I hope that together we'll grow in our knowledge and love of herbs, sharing the joys of planting a new garden and the wildlife that share it.

is needed. Air conditioners are rated according to
energy output, measured
in BTUs. Simply put, the
larger the room, the more
energy output required.
One more important
point: Modern equipment is more energy efficient than older models.
New Energy Star–rated
models use 10 percent less
energy than conventional
models. These new-gener-ation air conditioners
often have timers to turn
down the power when it’s
Hot tips for not needed.
Smart usage tips
Once you have the
keeping cool right air conditioner in
place, AHAM suggests
following these tips to
optimize performance.
• Turn off the unit and open doors and
windows during cooler periods.
• Use the unit fan and portable fans to draw
in cooler outside air and increase circulation.
• Use a dehumidifier in the basement to
prevent excess moisture seepage through
the house.
• Use a higher (warmer) thermostat setting during peak periods or when the area is
unoccupied. A 75- to 80-degree setting will
cut power consumption by 15 percent.
• Don’t let heat build up all day and then
try to cool areas quickly. Start units earlier in
the day and cool areas slowly before they are
occupied.
• Avoid activities that generate high heat
and humidity (such as cooking, bathing and
laundering) during high-heat hours.
• Draw shades or window blinds to reduce
solar and outdoor heat. Reflecting and dou-ble-pane glass, awnings, overhangs, louvered
sunscreens, plantings, fences or an adjoining
building also help—but don’t block the back
of the air-conditioning unit.
• Regularly change or clean filters and
check airflow for blockage or frost on the
evaporator coil.
• Have the air conditioner checked and
cleaned at the start of the season. During the
off-season, make certain it is cleaned and properly covered and disconnected.—Tim Talevich
KEEPING COOL in your home or business
in the summer months can roast your energy
bill. But taking energy-smart steps can help
keep air-conditioning costs as low as possible.
The two keys are buying the proper air
conditioner and running it properly. Here’s
a primer.
Buying the right air conditioner
It’s easy to understand how an undersized
air conditioner won’t properly cool a room.
Units that are too small simply aren’t strong
enough to cover a large room. However, an
equally common mistake is having an air
conditioner that is too large.
Air conditioners remove both heat and
humidity from the air, explains Energy Star, a
federal government organization that promotes energy-efficient products and practices. “If the unit is too large, it will cool the
room quickly, but only remove some of the
humidity. This leaves the room with a damp,
clammy feeling. A properly sized unit will
remove humidity effectively as it cools.”
Determining the right size of an air conditioner involves calculating room size and
other factors. Energy Star offers a basic chart
to calculate these figures on its Web site at
www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=roomac.pr_
properly_sized. But a more detailed calculator
is offered by the Association of Home
Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM) at its site,
www.cooloff.org. This program asks for information on which region you live in, whether
the room has windows (and which direction
they face), what’s above the room and so on.
Either way, once you establish room size,
you can determine what size air conditioner
• EnergyStar certified for high energy efficiency
• Electronic controls (including remote control)
• High power cooling and low noise operation
• Washable air purifying filter (anti-bacteria filter)
• Effective dehumidifying operation
• Indoor temperature sensing thermostat
• Energy saving switch
• 24-hour On/Off timer
• Window kit for easy installation
The Costco Connection
Costco offers a variety of air conditioners
from leading manufacturers in the warehouses and at costco.com.
