Increased truck transportation in Europe and its accompanying environmental problems, particularly along the north-south route through the Alps in western Europe, has prompted the expansion of railways in that region. These railways will need to tunnel through the Alps, requiring deeper and longer tunnels than any in existence.
Professor Herbert Einstein of civil and environmental engineering discussed three of these tunnels and issues of exploration and construction, mostly with regard to the difficult geologic conditions, in his Feb. 18 AAAS talk on "New Transalpine Transportation Tunnels."
Einstein focused on three tunnels: the 57km Gotthard Tunnel and the 36km Loetschberg Tunnel, which are both under construction in Switzerland, and the 53km Maurienne-Ambin Tunnel between France and Italy, which is in the advanced planning stage. All three will accommodate both high-speed passenger and freight trains.
"In a nutshell, the difficulties arise because these tunnels are going to be deeper than present tunnels, they will also be longer and the overburden (or pressure from rock and water above) will be greater," said Einstein.
"In addition, as you go deeper into the Earth, it gets hotter, so you have temperatures in the 50 degree C. range, which makes for difficult working conditions. We'll have to cool the work area; otherwise people will die. They have the same problem in the South African mines; it's difficult but not impossible," he said.
Tunnel builders will encounter a major geologic problem in areas where the geology is soil-like, rather than rock. Soil or weak rocks are unable to withstand high pressures from above; unlike solid rock, which can handle a high overburden, weak material will be prone to collapse. They will have to make special considerations for construction in these "bad zones," Einstein said.
"Imagine when you were a child playing in a sandbox. If you wanted to dig a small tunnel, you couldn't because the sand would collapse. That's what could happen in one of these tunnels, if appropriate measures are not taken," he said.
Einstein has developed a modeling tool that takes into consideration the factors and uncertainties involved to help managers estimate the costs and time for building the tunnels.
"As you know from local large construction projects," said Einstein, referring to Boston's Big Dig, "it's very difficult to estimate what these will cost."
A version of this article appeared in MIT Tech Talk on February 27, 2002.

Superfund-sponsored clean-ups of hazardous waste sites should improve the housing market in nearby neighborhoods, right? Not so says Michael Greenstone, the 3M Professor of Environmental Economics at MIT.
In a paper to be published in the August issue of the Quarterly Journal of Economics, Greenstone and a colleague compared housing markets surrounding hazardous waste sites chosen for Superfund clean-ups to those surrounding sites that narrowly missed qualifying for Superfund remediation. Greenstone's hypothesis was that people living nearby value the clean-ups. He tested whether neighborhoods adjacent to Superfund sites became more desirable after clean-ups.
Superfund, a federal government program that cleans up the largest and most dangerous hazardous waste sites in the US, was signed into law in 1980. Almost 1600 sites have been identified and made eligible for federally led cleanups. Clean-up activities have been concluded at approximately two-thirds of these sites. The average cost of a completed cleanup is estimated at more than $55 million. The expected cost to clean-up the remaining sites is an additional $30 billion.
Greenstone finds that the clean-ups failed to cause increases in house prices or rental rates. Indeed, the changes in prices and rental rates are equal to the changes in the neighborhoods surrounding the hazardous waste sites where clean-ups did not take place. In addition, the populations of the neighborhoods and rate of new home construction remained at their pre clean-up levels.
The paper also finds that the average clean-up takes 12-13 years to complete and costs around $55 million. "The lengthy interventions are disruptive and very expensive," said Greenstone. "The housing market's clear message is that the clean-ups are not worth it to the people living near these sites."
Greenstone is now investigating whether there are health benefits from these clean-ups.
"We are facing a wide range of environmental problems, including the severe threats to our well being posed by climate change and water and air pollution," Greenstone said. "The findings suggest that less ambitious clean-ups like the erection of fences, posting of warning signs around the sites, and simple containment of toxics would free up resources to address environmental problems that have a higher payoff."
This work was funded in part by the Center for Energy and Environmental Policy Research at MIT. Greenstone's co-author, Justin Gallagher, is a graduate student at UC Berkeley.

Kevin Blackwell brushed off calls for his head from sections of the home support after Bury went down 2-1 to Colchester at Gigg Lane.
The Shakers remain rooted to the foot of npower League One despite taking the lead through Craig Fagan and playing against 10 men for the majority of the contest following George Porter's fourth-minute sending-off.
"I'm full of praise for the players, they were terrific," said Blackwell. "It just didn't fall for us.
"There seemed to be a force field around their goal. We've had 51 crosses, 16 shots on target and 15 off.
"When you're at the bottom, you've missed chances and the fans are frustrated it's easier to hang the manager out to dry.
"But I don't know what else I could have done other than gone on and scored myself.
"If we'd scored six or seven you'd have been eulogising, but we lost and suddenly the whole thing changes.
"Other than deal with two or three chances a bit better, what more can you ask the players to do?
"I've got no complaints with them. I feel for them but that's the way it is, when you're down there you get kicked in the teeth."

Thread Subject: Re: AT interoperability: Wed, Aug 15 2007 9:05 AM

Hi Jessica, et al.
You should be aware that in the functional area - there is a proposal to
say that conformance to the technical provisions would mean automatic
fulfillment of the FPC. There is a statement in a government FAQ and in
preamble that supports this point of view at least for software aspect.
Thus - if "support for AT" but not "compatibility with actual AT" is all
that is required in the technical requirements - then working with actual AT
would not be required anywhere.
The questions therefore are:
- when the AT industry agreed on the technical provisions did they
understand them to say that "support for AT" (e.g. an API) was sufficient to
meet the technical provision or did they understand the wording to mean that
the software had to work with actual AT. That is, do they require companies
to work with AT industry to make sure their products work - or could
industry just build to an API and say the rest of the problem belongs to the
AT companies.
- this is not to say that the companies here don't work with AT companies
today. The question is simply - do the new 508 regs REQUIRE that companies'
products work with AT? Or do the regs only require that products have an AT
interface - and it is up to AT to work with what is there?
There was also a statement on the list that this was just a problem between
AT and IT and it was only their concern. I believe that there is a
substantial issue for people who have disabilities too.
- With the "products need to work with AT" approach - products purchased
would have AT and could be used by employees with disabilities.
- With the "support for AT" approach - products could pass 508 if they had
an AT interface even if there was not AT that worked with them. That would
mean that there is no requirement that products that passed 508 would in
fact be usable by employees with disabilities.
So I think people with disabilities also have a concern or interest
in this distinction. So I don't think it is purely an AT-IT industry
concern.
Since we have the final Software Call today at 1 EST before the lock down
this is important.
This is not a new or last minute issue. It has been brought up repeatedly
but the language is now solidifying -- and there appears to be a problem
with different people interpreting the same language in different ways.
The current wording can be read either of the two ways discussed above.
We need to at least add a note that clearly states which interpretation is
intended by the language - so that we can determine if consensus exists for
the language or not. And if so - does it mean "provides and interface that
AT can use?" or does it mean "Works with AT that exists".
PS
Suggestion
1) that we say that conformance with 508 means that it works with AT.
2) that if there are no products that work with AT then the agency should
purchase the product that has an API for AT as a fallback to leave best
opportunity for access in the future.
But to purchase a product with an API but no AT instead of a product that
works with real AT should not be "ok" or what the 508 regs allow.

HOUSE.
VIGO COUNTY COURTS.
The Committee on Organization of Courts, to which was referred the bill [H. R. 17] in relation to the establishment of a Superior Court in Vigo County, reported the same back with a recommendation that the bill pass.
A minority report was also submitted recommending that the bill do lie upon the table.
Mr. MORGAN said, as a Representative from Vigo County, he wanted to see the minority report voted down and the majority report concurred in. Ten years ago, there was a bill passed the Legislature providing for a Criminal Court to be established in Vigo County. At that time the population of Terre Haute was about 17,000 and the County, perhaps, 35,000. Since then the population of Terre Hute has increased about 10,000, having now nearly 27,000 inhabitants. There has been a difference of opinion among the people as to whether Vigo County needs another County Court of civil jurisdiction, We all agree upon one point, that is, that the Circuit there is very much behind in its business, and it, perhaps, will never catch up until the County is given another Court of jurisdiction. Men of all parties and members of the Bar insist emphatically on the passage of a bill to establish a Superior Court in that County, and abolish the Criminal Court. In accordance with that wish this bill was drafted and submitted to various lawyers of all political parties, and was brought here thinking it was merely carrying out the wish of the people of that County.
By Mr GIBSON--There is a bill on the calendar to extend to the Criminal Court now in existence, civil jurisdiction concurrent with the Vigo Circuit Court. This bill [H. R. 17] is a bill to abolish the Criminal Court and create a Superior Court. It is my desire in considering these two bills to get at the merits of the provisions. It appears to me that the bill [H. R. 80] extending to the Criminal Court of Vigo County civil jurisdiction, had all the evidences of economy in it, and I verily believe that if every Member of this House could understand these two bill, that the report of the minori ty in this case would prevail. For instance, $800 salary is paid by the State of Indiana to the Judge of the Superior Court. We are here, or ought to be, as watch-dogs of the Treasury. Now, the salary of the Judge and Prosecuting Attorney of the Criminal Court is paid by the County of Vigo. The State of Indiana does not pay $1 for running that Court. If you abolish the Criminal Court and create a Superior Court, the State of Indiana has to pay $800 for the salary of the Judge. I hope the report of the minority will prevail.
By Mr. KENNER: To hitch civil jurisdiction on the Criminal Court, never ought to be done, but we propose by special action to give them civil jurisdiction. By this bill a Circuit Court is created with entire civil jurisdiction, having no criminal jurisdiction whatever, and the criminal jurisdiction is to be transferred to where it belongs and where the statute places it-in the hands of the Circuit Court. He favored the majority report.
Mr. SINCLAIR, being one of the members of that Committee, said: We acted with a view of carrying out a policy, one that I think should be carried out, and that is, not to pass any laws or repeal any, without strong reasons. At the time we acted we had just two bills before us. One was to prevent, as my colleague says, the extension of the jurisdiction, and the other was for the purpose of establishing a new office or new Court and abolishing the other one. At the time we acted, we had before us a petition from some of the best lawyers in the County of Vigo, asking to extend the Criminal Court jurisdiction. Among the number was our present United States Senator. The names of Mr. Voorhees, Mr. Carleton and some sixteen Republicans were on that petition. After that, inasmuch as the people of Vigo County, two years ago, by their choice elected two men to fill the offices of that Court, respect ought to be given to the voice of the people.
The gentleman from Vigo, who advocates the abolition of the Criminal Court and the establishment of a Superior Court, was elected to the place he holds here by that same people. Now, what I want to know is, do the majority of the people of Vigo County demand this? For my part, I do not favor the abolishment of a Court without strong reasons, Where there is an opportunity given to the citizens of the County to be relieved in any be other way, I think it is not the policy of the law to legislate men out of office and legislate others in. My friend across the way always mixes up politics, and sometimes talks about the Democratic party being legislated into Heaven; but that is no reason why Democratic officers of Vigo County should be legislated out of office and Republicans legislated in. I do not think that is our purpose here, and these are the reasons which actuated the minority of that Committee.
Mr. MORGAN--These fact are well known: That the salary of the Judge will be $800, and that amount will be paid out of the State Treasury; but you must bear in mind also that the Prosecutor whom we abolish will not receive his salary, and there is $500 in our favor, so that will only be $300 out of the State Treasury. I want to know gentlemen, if the citizens of Vigo County need this Court In the interest of justice, I want to know if it is economy to prevent the people of that County from hav- page: 122[View Page 122] ing judgment speedily and without delay on account of $300, when other Counties in this State have Superior Courts? I have not made this a party question, but ask every one here to put aside politics and vote for the majority report.
The yeas and nays were demanded by Messrs. Cauthorne and Cole, and the vote on the adoption of the minority report was--yeas, 33; nays, 54. So the minority report was rejected.
The majority report was concurred in, and the bill was ordered engrossed.
Mr. LINDLEY submitted a report from the majority of the Committee on the Organization of Courts on the bill [H. R. 80] in relation to civil jurisdiction of the Criminal Court of Vigo County, and recommended that it do lie on the table.
Mr. GIBSON submitted a report from the minority of the same Committee, recommending the passage of the bill.
The minority report was laid on the tably by--yeas, 55; nays, 30.
The majority report was concurred in.
Mr. GIBSON, from the Committee on Organization of Courts, submitted a report on the bill [H. R. 107] establishing a Superior Court in the County of Vanderburgh, with a recommendation that the bill pass.
The report was concurred in, the bill read the second time and ordered engrossed.
The bill [H. R. 66] to legalize the incorporation, etc., and ordinance for issuing bonds of the town of Chauncey, was read the third time, and passed by yeas, 83; nays, 2.
The bill [H. R. 199] to amend an act prescribing who may make a will, the effect thereof, what may be devised, regulating the admission to probate, revocation and contest, etc., was read the second time.
Mr. SINCLAIR--Inasmuch as the House took a recess of ten minutes to shake hands with Senator Voorhees a short time ago, I move that we take a recess of ten minutes now to shake hands with Ben Harrison, United States Senator-elect.
The motion was agreed to.
When the SPEAKER had commanded order--
Mr. McDowell filed a motion to reconsider the vote of yesterday on the resolution to appoint a Committee to investigate the propriety and expediency of establishing a new State Educational Institution.
The bill [H. R. 141] regulating the sale of brass, iron or other worn or scrap metal by railroad officials was read the second time.
Mr. KENNER said this was to remedy a wrong so prevalent at our large railroad shops. After night there are poor children running loose, picking up iron scraps, which they sell to junk dealers. You can not arrest these little children and confine them in Jail. This provision strike directly at the dealers to whom these commodities are sold. Prohibiting the sale of those articles puts an end to the stealing.
The House adjourned till to-morrow morning at 9 a.m.

Americans with high blood pressure, cholesterol go untreated
Nearly a third of all adults have high blood pressure and another third have high cholesterol, but most aren't being treated, leaving them at risk for developing heart attacks, strokes and related vascular diseases, according to new data out from the CDC.
Half of American adults with high blood pressure and two thirds of those with high cholesterol aren't getting adequate treatment, the agency reports.
And it's not lack of health insurance keeping people from the doctor. Some 80 percent of people with uncontrolled hypertension or high cholesterol have some form of coverage, the CDC reports.
So what's the problem? Well, while patients may have insurance, they may not have regular access to medical care, or the counseling and support needed to care for these chronic conditions. Others don't go to the doctor for follow-up visits and about half just stop taking their medicine all together.
Heart attack, stroke and other vascular diseases kill more 800,000 Americans a year and cost the nation about $300 billion a year in medical costs. Thing is, medications can control high blood pressure and high cholesterol before they become serious, the CDC urges.
The full report analyzed government data from 11,100 patients from 2005 to 2008 and found 68 million people with high blood pressure and 71 million with high cholesterol.
What exactly does it mean to have high blood pressure or high cholesterol, you ask? For blood pressure, a reading of 120 over 80 is considered normal and 140 over 90 indicates it needs to be managed. For cholesterol, the LDL or "bad cholesterol" is the key figure. It should be less than 160 for people without heart disease or diabetes, no more than 130 for people with two or more other risk factors for heart disease and below 100 for people with heart disease or diabetes.

With more than ever prepared and frozen foods sales, the labelling and declaration for health in weight and in percentages is necessary. Also they must conform to acceptable cholestoral levels, salt and sodium levels, sugar levels etc. They cannot and should not have excessive quantities. How can some of the labels have no food expiry dates? Is the FDA put a snooze button on, or are they lethargic to public health issues and concerns?

should contain the goals statement from the planning phase, as well as the structural details of the site.
These are big questions, and the broad conceptual issues are too often dismissed as committees push toward starting the "real work" of designing and building a Web site. However, if you cannot confidently answer all of these questions, then no amount of design or production effort can guarantee a useful result.
The site specification defines the scope of your project that is, what and how much you need to do, the budget, and the development schedule. "Scope creep" is the most prevalent cause of Web project failures. In badly planned projects, scope creep is the gradual but inexorable process by which previously unplanned "features" are added, content and features are padded to mollify each stakeholder group, major changes in content or site structure during site construction are made, and more content or interactive functionality than you originally agreed to create is stuffed in. No single overcommitment is fatal, but the slow, steady accumulation of additions and changes is often enough to blow budgets, ruin schedules, and bury what might have been an elegant original plan under megabytes of muddle. Although a page count is hardly infallible as a guide (after all, Web pages can be arbitrarily long), it serves as a constant reminder to everyone involved of the project's intended scope. If the page count goes up, make it a rule to revisit the budget implications automatically the cold realities of budgets and schedules will often cool the enthusiasm to stuff in "just one more page." A good way to keep a lid on scope creep is to treat the page count as a "zero sum game." If someone wants to add pages, it's up to them to nominate other pages to remove or to obtain a corresponding increase in the budget and schedule to account for the increased work involved.
Changes and refinements can be a good thing, as long as everyone is realistic about the impact of potential changes on the budget and schedule of a project. Any substantial change to the planned content, design, or technical aspects of a site must be tightly coupled with a revision of the budget and schedule of the project. People are often reluctant to discuss budgets or deadlines frankly and will often agree to substantial changes or additions to a development plan rather than face an awkward conversation with a client or fellow team member. But this acquiescence merely postpones the inevitable damage of not dealing with scope changes rationally.
The firm integration of schedule, budget, and scope is the only way to keep a Web project from becoming unhinged from the real constraints of time, money, and the ultimate quality of the result. A little bravery and honesty up front can save you much grief later. Make the plan carefully, and then stick to it.

ViewVC is a WWW interface for CVS and Subversion
repositories. It allows you to browse the files and directories in a
repository while showing you metadata from the repository history: log
messages, modification dates, author names, revision numbers, copy
history, and so on. It provides several different views of repository
data to help you find the information you are looking for:
A single installation of ViewVC is often used to provide access to
more than one repository. In these installations, ViewVC shows a
Project Root drop down box in the top right corner of every
generated page to allow for quick access to any repository.
By default, ViewVC will show the files and directories and revisions
that currently exist in the repository. But it's also possible to browse
the contents of a repository at a point in its past history by choosing
a "sticky tag" (in CVS) or a "sticky revision" (in Subversion) from the
forms at the top of directory and log pages. They're called sticky
because once they're chosen, they stick around when you navigate to
other pages, until you reset them. When they're set, directory and log
pages only show revisions preceding the specified point in history. In
CVS, when a tag refers to a branch or a revision on a branch, only
revisions from the branch history are shown, including branch points and
their preceding revisions.
In CVS directory listings, ViewVC can optionally display dead files.
Dead files are files which used to be in a directory but are currently
deleted, or files which just don't exist in the currently selected
sticky tag. Dead files cannot be
shown in Subversion repositories. The only way to see a deleted file in
a Subversion directory is to navigate to a sticky revision where the
file previously existed.
In CVS Repositories, ViewVC adds artificial tags HEAD and
MAIN to tag listings and accepts them in place of revision
numbers and real tag names in all URLs. MAIN acts like a branch
tag pointing at the default branch, while HEAD acts like a
revision tag pointing to the latest revision on the default branch. The
default branch is usually just the trunk, but may be set to other
branches inside individual repository files. CVS will always check out
revisions from a file's default branch when no other branch is specified
on the command line.
More information about ViewVC is available from
viewvc.org.

I can't seem to find white wedding shoes that I like anywhere, and I need to settle on a pair soon so I can have my final wedding dress fittings done while wearing the right heels. Is it way too tacky to wear wedding shoes that aren't white?
A.
Though brides traditionally wear shoes to match their wedding gowns (which are almost always some shade of white), you don't absolutely have to. In fact, many brides -- having gone conventional with the white dress -- choose to have a little more fun with their wedding footwear. You could have your shoes be your "something blue," or pick a metallic pair that matches with your jewelry or the embellishment on your gown. Or you can go really crazy with footwear that matches your interests -- we've seen brides walk down the aisle in everything from biker boots to custom-made cowboy boots (with the bride and groom's initials on them, naturally). Get out there and find a wedding shoe -- any shoe -- that you love. No matter what it's color, you're sure to put your best foot forward.

We have just returned from four days in our old neck of the woods visiting my wife’s relatives and celebrating Finnish Independence Day. On Dec. 6th, 1917, Finland adopted the Finnish Declaration of Independence and withdrew from Soviet Russia (very shortly after the USSR’s creation). This holiday holds special meaning for Finns, as I’m sure you can believe. Had they not declared their independence during this hectic period in Russia’s history, they could have been part of the Soviet Union until the 1990s like so many countries bordering Russia.
Each morning of our visit to Eastern Finland, we were greeted by a fresh blanket of snow (on top of the other blankets of snow) and temperatures ranging from -8 to -15*C (17.5 to 5*F). The sun didn’t shine much, but other than that it was pleasant to be outside. Part of our visit was spent at my wife’s grandparents’ farm, where we took the pictures below. They provide a glimpse of the early stage of winter we are in, as well as a look at some elements of a typical old Finnish farm.
Proudly flying the Finnish colors for Independence Day:
The old farm mill, which is no longer in use:
The smoke sauna can be seen here at the bottom left. Just beyond that is the creek which separates the farm from the neighboring property, which fills the rest of the picture:
The big old barn:
Hay field and woods:
Bunny tracks in the yard:
Berry bushes, asleep for the winter:
Here are the Woodswife and Woodsboy opening part of the barn so we can peek inside:
Inside that part of the barn is just some of the firewood they have stockpiled:
Before we headed inside, the Woodsboy took a tractor ride with great-grandpa:
Here’s an old photo showing great-grandpa when he himself was just a Woodsboy:
Four generations of proud Finns, going back well beyond the first Finnish independence day (my wife is generation 5, and the Woodsboy is generation 6):
The icing on the cake of a nice visit to the country was leaving with these:
Hand-knit wool over-socks, made by my wife’s grandmother. I can’t have enough pairs of these. Socks like these accompany me on every winter outing, and now I have a new favorite pair.
Thanks go out to the Woodswife for taking most of the pictures for this post. Fortunately, she has recently expressed interest in writing full articles about things like berry and mushroom picking, making preserves and juices, family/farm history etc., so you can expect to see them (eventually) here.
Let freedom ring!
Good stuff WW, digging the pics, man they’ve got some wood put back! Wow!
Thanks.
They certainly do have a lot of wood in the barn. Plenty more, too. I guess that’s what happens when you’ve got lots of trees, cold winters and lots of time.
Beautiful spot- heat with oil?
Yep, all that oil stacked in the barn.
They have a large wood stove/oven in the kitchen/living room and also have a few wall-mounted electric heaters for extra heat if needed.
Nice socks, I´m jealous!
It’s funny how people change over the course of their lives. When I was a kid, I never thought I’d be excited about getting a pair of socks. Today, different story.
Now THAT is a pile of firewood! Fascinating history and very cool that the farm has remained in the family.
On the other side of my wife’s family, there has been one house after another on the same site for a few hundred years (well, in any case they found the remains of 3 to 5 old foundations in the same spot).
Well, you sure did spend your time in a good way!
Guess the family will not have to worry about freezing this winter. Love the socks and I am looking forward to seeing your wife’s writings… as does my Mss.!
Thanks!

TracyMartin said 2383 days ago:
Thanks for the comments, I'm pretty unflappable when it comes to critiques being a graphic designer I'm used to both the positive and negative and in the end it is all good.
I took this image 19 years ago at 5am in Montreal - I pretty much used Tri-X 400 at that time. I believe this shot was 30 seconds but I also did several other exposures, I chose this one because of the light a passing bus left. I think that some of the lack of detail is due in part to film processing because I always had some difficulty when processing my own film even though I was diligent about the chemicals and temp, I eventually gave up doing them myself.
psychodudu said 2383 days ago:
This is a wonderful shot, the starlight effect from the streetlights is fantastic. I'm a little concerned that the strength of the light maybe took somehting away from the reflections in the water on the road, which couls have made it even more dramatic. You could conceivably have gone darker.
You could comment on this photo if you were logged in.
I like the mood here. The wet streets are great, and the shot works with the long light streak, though it could have worked just as well without. It seems like the image is slightly overexposed, so that a lot detail gets lost in the dark. How long was this, about 30 seconds? 20 might have done the trick, too. This is no criticism, I've been doing a lot shots like this, so I'm just trying to learn. I love working with a low ISO and tiny aperture so that I get lovely stars around street-lights, but I have found that it is quite easy to actually overexpose. Would love to know your settings on this one.
Anyway, high marks from me.

I love making overalls for my boy.
I'm currently pregnant and crocheting him a blanket. I've yet to make anything else, but I have been looking at fun crochet hats, a romper pattern from YCMT, blanket and shoe patterns. I have a busy couple months ahead of me. =)
I don't have a little man of my own. But for my friends that do have a little guy, I've been making robot sheets and cute little bow ties. They seem to be a hit!

I've received these kind of shoes as gifts and thought they looked way to hard to make on my own. Perhaps I should actually try before throwing myself out of the rink. I don't know if this throws me out of the running, but I'm not much of a pink fan...at least not everyday so I like my girls to have boy accessories.
Great giveaway!

I have been watching Microsoft transform slowly over a number of years, going through many transformations in the name of progress. However, my question is, how does this all fit together?
Although I am a true Microsoft user, I feel that at the moment, the delivery of Microsoft's services are getting very convoluted and confused. I think this is due in part to Microsoft's size, diversity and methodology.
The other day I set about trying to understand what has happened with Microsoft and why everything seems to have slowed down since the release of Phone7.
The main biting point I could find in the current slowdown of MS is the tablet form factor. Apple have re-invented the wheel once again with the iPad, convincing everyone that they need such a pointless device. This has now created an expectation in the market for an equivalent Microsoft device. The issue with this is that currently, Microsoft have no operating system available for such a form factor and from what I can find, no actual vision of what such a device should look like, work like or 'do'. Windows doesn't natively support touch and Microsoft don't think the Phone7 OS would suit a device of that size. I agree with them.

Bomb Explodes Outside U.S. Embassy In Turkey
Originally published on Fri February 1, 2013 1:09 pm
Transcript
STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:
It's MORNING EDITION from NPR News. I'm Steve Inskeep.
RENEE MONTAGNE, HOST:
And I'm Renee Montagne. An explosion described by the State Department as a terrorist attack shook the U.S. embassy in the capital of Turkey, Ankara. The American ambassador says a Turkish security guard was killed and at least one other person was seriously wounded. Turkish investigators are exploring the possibility that it was a suicide bombing. Joining us now from Istanbul is NPR's Peter Kenyon. And Peter, what do you know? What is the latest information about this explosion?
PETER KENYON, BYLINE: Well, the blast occurred, Renee, earlier in the afternoon local time at a security checkpoint just outside the embassy proper. Turkey's interior minister says it was a suicide attacker. If that is confirmed, the death toll would then rise to two, including the bomber. U.S. Ambassador Frank Ricciardone pushed his way through a swarm of police and journalists not long after the blast. He confirmed that one Turkish security guard had been killed and a woman seriously wounded, also a Turkish citizen. The State Department says it's cooperating fully with Turkish officials who launched an investigation.
MONTAGNE: Peter, many U.S. diplomatic missions around the world are heavily fortified and for very good reason, because there have been these attacks. What about the embassy there in Ankara?
KENYON: Yes. That is well-fortified, although unlike, for example, the U.S. consulate here in Istanbul, the embassy is on a busy main thoroughfare in Ankara. The entrance, however, is off the main street, on a side street, which has much less traffic. I was just in the embassy a week ago. The visitors entrance is a stand-alone security checkpoint that is not connected to the building itself. The blast ripped a hole in the outer wall of that checkpoint. But based on what can be seen from the outside, I think you'd have to say the security of the embassy proper was not compromised.
MONTAGNE: And what are people there in Turkey saying about who or what group may have been behind this attack?
KENYON: Well, it's very early, of course. But the interior minister here in Turkey is already pointing at a little-known left-wing splinter group. It's called the People's Revolutionary Front. He's offering no evidence for that so far. There have been explosions at diplomatic missions here in Turkey in the past, most dramatically in 2003. There were a series of bombs in Istanbul that year, including synagogues, a bank and the British consulate. And some 67 people died, including the British consul general that year. In this case, in addition to this left-wing group that's under suspicion, Turks are always on guard for Kurdish militant attacks. Some wonder if this isn't another effort to derail nascent peace talks underway between Turkey and the Kurds, a la the shooting of three Kurdish activists in Paris recently.
There's also concerns about Syria-related violence spilling over into Turkey, and always worries that Islamist militants linked to al-Qaida or some other group might refocus on targets in Turkey at some point. Again, the investigators are just beginning to sort through the evidence, and this is speculation at this point.
MONTAGNE: And quite a range of groups there, though.
KENYON: Yes, there's no question about it. Turkey lives in a volatile, tense neighborhood, and although it likes to say it has zero problems with the neighbors, there's plenty of problems in the neighborhood.
MONTAGNE: Well, just briefly, could this bombing have repercussions for the Turkish-U.S. relationship?
KENYON: Well, there have been a few rough spots in the U.S.-Turkey ties. Turkey, for instance, imports quite a bit of oil and gas from Iran, which is under sanctions. But on the question of terrorism and on many of the major geopolitical issues, the two countries are very tight. The ambassador's statement reflected that today. He was talking about Turkish-American friendship. So unless there's some very unusual development, such as Turkish nationalists somehow showing up as suspects - and there's been no evidence of that, I should add - I think, if anything, this will bring the two countries a bit closer together.
MONTAGNE: Peter, thanks very much.
KENYON: You're welcome.

Author Interviews
Gwyneth Paltrow On Tradition, Family And Duck Ragu
Gwyneth Paltrow doesn't have to cook. She's a movie star. Her mother, Blythe Danner — a formidable actress herself — much preferred the stage to the kitchen. But Paltrow's father thrived there.
Bruce Paltrow was producer and director, mostly of TV hits, like St. Elsewhere. he was also a father who doted on his daughter — until he died, suddenly, nine years ago when he was just 58.
Now, Gwyneth Paltrow is out with a cookbook called My Father's Daughter, celebrating family and togetherness, as the subtitle puts it. Paltrow's passion for cooking began when she was a very young aspiring actress and found herself joining her father in the kitchen.
"I started to learn how to cook with him," she tells Morning Edition's Renee Montagne. "And it was something that we did together. We were so often side by side in the kitchen, just quietly chopping or whisking. It's a very physical memory that I get of him when I'm in the kitchen, it's almost like I can feel him standing behind me."
Paltrow explains that her father came from a big family, and meal-time was an important part of communication.
"He came from a house where the family dinner was very, very important," Paltrow says. "Every night my grandfather would have the whole family at the table at 6 to eat dinner all together, and my grandmother would cook, and they would all chat and it was their family time. He didn't grow up with a lot of money, so when he could afford to go out to restaurants and take us, he was so excited, and I think that's where I got the idea that food is very special and exciting."
My Father's Daughter features several recipes inspired by Bruce's kitchen experiments, including that for "Bruce's World-Famous Pancakes." Though the recipe is quite traditional — flour, buttermilk — Paltrow says that her father's version was always just a bit better than others she tried.
"They are honestly the best pancakes," she laughs. "They are thin, they're tangy. They're not these giant fluffy things. I think what made them world-famous is, well, everyone loved the taste of the pancakes, but it became such a thing that he would cook for all of us and our extended family. It was almost about the experience as much as the pancakes themselves."
In the cookbook, Paltrow offers some healthier alternatives to her family recipes. For example, she provides an alternative to her mother's blueberry muffin recipe that includes soy milk instead of whole milk, and vegetable oil in place of butter.When asked if her version tastes better, however, she demurs.
"No, no it doesn't," she admits. " Nothing tastes as good as my mother's super-fattening, sugary, blueberry muffins. [Mine] taste pretty good. But you can't beat the butter and sugar, let's face it."
Some of the recipes in My Father's Daughter feature foods that Paltrow herself does not eat — she doesn't eat red meat, for example, but she decided to include her family's brisket, as she has such fond memories of the dish from childhood.
"Basically, we grew up having brisket," she says. "It's the pride of the Jewish mother, to have her version of brisket. So even though I don't eat red meat anymore, I loved brisket, and I thought, we have to include it in the book. So I started doing research and asking all the women in my family...and it seemed that the secret ingredient was rubbing it with Lipton onion soup mix. I thought, lets do it a little more homemade than that."
Though the cookbook is already a bestseller, the public perception of Paltrow has not always been that of a culinary queen. In fact, she was famous for her limited macrobiotic diet around the time she won an Academy Award for Shakespeare in Love in 1998. She says that she was dieting this way as a response to her father's throat cancer diagnosis:
"When he was diagnosed with cancer, it was my absolute worst nightmare. And I thought, gosh, he's got to eat healthy. So I started doing all this research into how people allegedly cure themselves through macrobiotics and very healthy diets. I was hoping he would adapt some of these principles in the hopes that it would help his health, but he was pretty resistant. I think he equated sugar and caffeine with being healthy. So by proxy, I thought, I'll get really healthy, and somehow that will make him healthier. It didn't work, but I tried."
Paltrow says that every recipe in the book has a personal connection to her past, but none so poignant as that for duck ragu. The dish brings up the memory of the last great conversation she had with her father before his death.
"We were in Italy," she muses. "We had gone to Italy for my 30th birthday, and my present from my dad was that we were going to have a road trip through Tuscany and Umbria, and on the first night we went to this little town called Cortona, and he wasn't feeling well. I didn't know how unwell he actually was feeling, but we took a walk up the little cobblestone streets and we went to this little trattoria and we had duck ragu, and we had this incredible night where he really opened up. We had a heart to heart. It was our last ... our last conversation in a way, because it became about doctors and all of that after that night."
She continues: "If you could write your perfect last conversation with the person that you love most in the world, it would have been that night." Copyright 2011 National Public Radio. To see more, visit.

Dr. Pauline Chen on medical care.
Doctor and Patient
Dr. Pauline Chen on medical care. over a generation now, efforts to make health care more patient-friendly have focused on getting patients and doctors to work together to make decisions about care and treatment. Numerous research papers, conferences and advocacy organizations have been devoted to this topic of “shared decision-making,” and even politicians have clambered aboard the train, devoting several provisions in the Affordable Care Act to “preference-sensitive care.”
But one thing has been missing in nearly all of these earnest efforts to encourage doctors to share the decision-making process. That is, ironically, the patient’s perspective. researchers conducted several focus groups with 48 patients from five primary care physicians in the San Francisco Bay area. First, they showed the patient participants a short video on several equally effective but very different treatment approaches for a heart ailment. Then, they asked them questions about what they did with their own doctors when faced with a choice among several treatment options that might be equally effective but could differ in lifestyle effects, cost or range of complications. Finally, the researchers asked the participants if they were comfortable asking doctors about different treatments, discussing their values and preferences or disagreeing with their doctors’ recommendations. and an associate investigator in the Department of Health Services Research at the Palo Alto Medical Foundation Research Institute in California. “But patients still aren’t perceiving the relationship as a partnership.”
Interestingly, most participants in this study were over 50, lived in affluent areas and had either attended or completed graduate school. “It’s hard to think that people from more disadvantaged backgrounds would find it any easier to question doctors,” Dr. Frosch said.
While understanding health care issues and making themselves heard in discussions were not difficult in general for the participants in the study, the skills and confidence they had in other settings appeared to have little relevance once they were in their doctors’ offices. They could not speak as easily as they normally did. “People experience a different sense of self in the doctor-patient interaction,” Dr. Frosch observed. “The clinical context creates a reluctance to be more assertive.”
Dr. Frosch and his colleagues are working on a larger study examining the extent to which patients feel constrained. And they have plans to study whether there are better ways to encourage patient engagement.
Systemic changes to increase shared decision-making must be addressed as well. Care organizations and doctors’ practices must be restructured to allow more in-depth conversations; clinicians need to be reimbursed for the time required for more meaningful conversations; and health care systems must adopt rigorous quality standards that measure and value real patient engagement in decisions.
“We urgently need support of shared decision-making that is more than just rhetoric,” Dr. Frosch said. “It may take a little longer to talk through decisions and disagreements; but if we empower patients to make informed choices, we will all do much better in the long run.”
Do you feel you need to act differently with doctors? Join in the discussion below.

Butts Brow is part of the South Downs and overlooks Willingdon Eastbourne it is a popular spot with walkers dog owners cyclists and car owners who just sit in the car park with a flask and snack.
It`s elevated position gives fine 180` panoramic views of the surrounding area.
We visited today for a walk and a chance for some fresh air, the weather was cold and windy with a watery sun so I took a few photographs while the sun was in the right position.
I was sad to see there is now a charge to park a car and I didn`t like the barbed wire that was obvious in several places.
It looks pretty soggy, even up there on the downs. That last picture is a great composition. The gate really attracts the eye: a sort of focal point.
I agree most pictures need a focal point Mark I am also of the opinion that if the sky has nothing to add to a picture leave it out
That looks to be an ideal, and welcome, walk for this time of year in the sunshine. Cheers.
And thanks for making commenting a lot easier!
Pleased it is easier now Mike
I'm glad you managed to get out and enjoy some fresh air. I learns o much looking at your images,I love the atmosphere of the last one.

Thanks Sarah as far as the photos are concerned the feeling is mutual, all the best, David

2 this trial is an attempt to silence him — and them.
Arrest Sends Political Message
Even his youngest fans come to the courthouse in Casablanca, Morocco, to support him.
Rihab Alame, an 11-year-old girl, knows the words to all his protest songs. She shows up for every court appearance, despite four postponements of Belrhou fact, officially, the rapper's songs have nothing to do with his arrest. He was jailed on an assault charge after a brawl outside his house. Supporters say it was a setup. They add it is unusual that the attorney general of Casablanca is heading up the prosecution team for a simple assault charge. Belrhou.
That's why there is so much interest in the case, says Karim Tazi, a businessman and political activist.
"This case is a high-profile case. It's a symbolic case. He's only an artist – and they want to silence him," Tazi says.
In a way, this trial is also a test of the power of a protest movement that won concessions from the king after mass demonstrations last year. Morocco has a new constitution. Elections in November made moderate Islamists the leading party in the government.
That party has promised to reform Morocco's justice system. Human rights groups urged the new ministers to investigate the charges against a political rap star.
Tazi says that it's a loss for the regime either way.
"If they free him, he is going to come back and sing again. If they keep him in jail, they are adding fuel to the anger of the movement and bringing the movement back to life, so they are losing anyway," Tazi says.

A Look at 2012 Vin Scully Award Winner
.
Whether Al was broadcasting the greatest game, and eventually the greatest moment, in American sports history during the 1980 winter Olympics, calling any of eight Super Bowls, or hanging on for dear life in the broadcast booth at Candlestick Park, he carried out his work on the strength of an underlying axiom: get the facts right.
From a journalistic standpoint, it is the portion of this documentary that emerges as the headline. In a business that is built upon delivering accurate information, the facts are often muddled for the sake of speed, style, or personal interest of the journalist.
Michaels understands the reason for his presence. He does not burden the listener/viewer with superfluous information and he does not jam stories into a telecast. Michaels lets the game play out and he simply provides the proper eloquence when necessary.
From a small boy raised in Brooklyn, NY to an industry giant, perhaps the most impressive part about Al Michaels is the way he approaches his work. Always prepared, always factual, and, when the moment calls for it, always great.
Listen below to Al Michaels: Seizing the Moment and my appearance on One on One to discuss how the piece was made.

Some‘s Steve Caporizzo a big thank you for that.All the performers did a great job. Our friends from the Back 40 Band did a good job at getting the crowd warmed up. I think most of us on the air staff took pictures, which you’ll see on the WGNA website, as everyone slowly recovers from a long, enjoyable day. (Please check back often)
In my gallery, I also took a few photos while I was on stage of some of the performers, and a few of the audience, which some of you even posed for. My wife, Linda, walked with me through the fest goers, and took some more pictures. Maybe you’ll see yourself or some of your friends.
So who was seen at WGNA Countryfest 2011?

I used to have a guilty pleasure. Red Robin serves a Chicken Caesar wrap that is sooooo good. I am sure horrible for me and loaded with a lot of stuff my body doesn't need, including gluten. Since I don't really eat out anymore, I had to re-create this dish so I can still have it. This dish was 100% a success. It tastes the same! If you love Caesar Salad, then you are really going to love this wrap!
For this recipe you are going to need gluten free flour tortillas. I use the rice flour tortillas from Trader Joe's, or I make my own.Gluten Free Chicken Caesar Wrap
adapted from Six Sisters Stuff
2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts
2 cups water
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 to 1 cup of your favorite Caesar dressing
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
2 cups shredded romaine lettuce
Gluten Free Rice Flour Tortillas
Place chicken in a 3-4 quart slow cooker with 1-2 cups of water, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper, cover with lid and cook on low heat for 4-6 hours. I
Remove chicken from cooker using a slotted spoon and drain the water from the slow cooker. Place chicken on a cutting board and pull chicken into shreds, discarding any fat.
Place chicken back in the cooker and pour in 1/2 cup of your favorite gluten free caesar dressing,
I used Drew's gluten free caesar.
Add Parmesan cheese, parsley, and pepper over the top. Stir until mixed evenly. Cover and cook on high heat for 30 minutes or until mixture is hot.
Spoon 1/2 cup mixture onto each tortilla. Top with extra shredded Parmesan cheese and lettuce, drizzle with a little more dressing and serve.

MILWAUKEE (WTAQ) - Milwaukee Police said a man who was arguing with the mother of his children shot and killed one of the victim’s friends, whom she called to intervene.
A 49-year-old man is in jail, awaiting possible charges.
Police said the woman and the suspect were arguing at a south side Milwaukee home Sunday night. She reportedly called a male friend during the argument – and when he arrived, police said the suspect shot him outside the house.
The victim was a 39-year-old Milwaukee man, and he died at the scene.
Police said the suspect drove away, but was caught a short time later after he drove into a parked vehicle.
The matter is still investigated. No names were immediately released.

On Monday, Ford’s motorsports division announced it would not field a factory team in the 2013 World Rally Championship, becoming the second manufacturer to abandon the series in the last week.
The withdrawals of Ford and BMW Group’s Mini brand are yet another manifestation of the dual crises of overcapacity and low sales in Europe, and a reminder that motorsports programs are among the first to go when budgets are reined in.
Though Ford and Mini said they would withdraw financial support for factory teams, both manufacturers have pledged continued support for privateers. M-Sport, which has won 52 races in 225 starts since partnering with Ford Racing in 1997, said it would continue to campaign the Fiesta W.R.C. in 2013, and Ford said it would aid in the continued development of the racecar. BMW Group, meanwhile, said it would refine the 1.6-liter engine of its Countryman-based W.R.C. car and supply Prodrive, its initial partner when it joined the W.R.C. in 2011, with parts. Prodrive has reaffirmed its commitment to the Countryman W.R.C. platform for 2013 and beyond.
The W.R.C., in which the success of the driver and co-pilot is contingent on final time, not wheel-to-wheel racing, is facing a broader crisis. Nokia, the Finland-based telecommunications manufacturer, abandoned a multiyear, multiplatform sponsorship deal in May, citing its shifting financial priorities. And for motorsports enthusiasts fond of power slides and skids, who previously looked to the W.R.C., there are young series like Formula Drift and Global RallyCross to hold their attention.
W.R.C. has historically not been as personality-driven as Formula One, Nascar or IndyCar, but the series may nevertheless feel a star-power vacuum in 2013. Sébastien Loeb, who secured his ninth W.R.C. title this month, the most of any driver, said he would run an abbreviated race schedule after 2012 to focus on his second career in the World Touring Car Championship.
Jari-Matti Latvala, a Ford works driver for five years who is ranked third in the 2012 championship, signed this week with Volkswagen for the 2013 season.

I thought carefully before writing this, but this is a post that I feel I have to write.
A terrible thing happened on Saturday: a loving mother & father lost their little baby girl. Just 9 months old, she had just learnt to crawl & she died in her cot during the night.
I’ve never met Jennie nor her family but I feel as if I know them; I & hundreds of people all around the world who know her through social media & from her wonderful blog are grieving for her.
Like us she has boy-girl twins; they were born just a few months after ours. Hers was one of the first blogs I followed when I became a Dad, mostly because her family was similar to ours. Her twins were very premature, much earlier than Jake & Ellie, & had a terrible struggle in their first few months. They are now happy, healthy, adorable 2-year-olds. I’ve been able to learn from her, compare notes, share experiences.
It was more than that though. Jennie has a rare gift in her writing: she is wonderfully expressive, & always writes straight from the heart. I couldn’t help but be moved when reading her posts, to share in her struggles, her triumphs, her joys & her sorrows.
There has always been one thing that shone through more than anything else in her writing: Love. Her great love for her children; how she struggled to do all she could for them when they were in NICU for the first weeks of their lives, her joy at their coming home, her devotion to their well-being ever since.
Love oozes out of every word, shines from every photo, drips off every page.
Then in May last year – despite believing she was unable to conceive naturally- she gave birth to a baby girl, Matilda Mae.
On Sunday afternoon I read the saddest tweet I have ever seen: “Our beautiful daughter Matilda Mae was taken from us last night to join the angels in the sky x RIP Beautiful angel daughter x We love you x”
My initial reaction was one of utter disbelief. I’d not read of any health difficulties, she seemed a healthy, happy child: how could this be?!
But tragically it was true.
Yes, children die. Far too many. There are some wonderful representatives of the UK parent blogging community in Ghana right now trying to do something about that, a cause Jennie herself has championed. But when it’s someone you have come to know, to have shared in their life with its struggles & its triumphs, someone you feel has been a part of your life & that of your own family – it’s different. It hits home, hits hard.
We grieve for her & for her husband & children. I can’t imagine what they must be going through.
You feel so helpless. You just want to snap your fingers & make everything better, but you can’t. You want to do something that can make a difference, so you send inadequate words, warm thoughts, virtual hugs, positive vibes, prayers. Many of us have.
She still writes; in sharing her pain & remembering her beautiful daughter in some way I hope it is helping her through this. Her tweets since have been some of the most heart-breaking things I have ever seen.
“I cannot rest. I cannot make Esther and William understand and I wish someone would please tell me what I am supposed to do without MM. Am so full of milk. Just want to hold my baby and feed her. I will never forgive myself but somehow I have to make life good for the twins. No one I know understands why I would be online right now but where else is there to go? MM shared our room so we cannot go back in there. Her cot is still there with all her things. I keep expecting her to be here. Esther and William do not understand. When we tried to explain at breakfast they just asked for more shreddies. How do you tell 2.5 year olds that their baby sister is dead? We can’t remember how to be a family of 4. My breast are aching. I have to have medicine to stop my milk. I have frozen some to make a keepsake x”
Yet even in such grief she is still thinking of her young twins & being a loving Mother to them:
“I need to try and rest if not sleep. For Esther and William. I am so grateful for Twitter tonight. I am in a quiet dark house x…I have made lunch for everyone today and we made blue play dough to put fish in.”
And still she thinks of others & not herself!
“If you have just half a thought of doing something with your little one, do it today! All week I wanted to get in Matilda’s bath with her x…Please pls hold your children and kiss them all you can. Tell them you love them many times a day. You will never get a single second back”.
I & many others have been very moved by this, moved to greater closeness, love & appreciation for our own children & family. Even out of her darkness shines light, light from the love of Matilda Mae, ‘star of the sea’.
Although I’ve never met her & probably never will, Jennie seems to be the most loving, caring mother & just a lovely person. She doesn’t deserve this; let’s do what we can to help her & her family through this.
Send her some love, say a prayer, whatever you feel moved to do.
Rest in peace, Matilda Mae: may your star continue to shine.

UPDATE: I thought carefully about including this in my most viewed posts list. This was never about me or this blog, but about Jennie & Matilda Mae & family. The response to it however has been – by my standards at least – phenomenal. This is purely down to how Matilda Mae & her loving mother have touched the hearts of people all over the world and so I think it should be shown.
That is just beautiful x
It’s rare that a ‘news’ story affects me, you acknowledge that it’s tragic but that’s it. This however has really got to me, reading what had happened and her tweets has me in tears every time. It’s just so awful. I think the fact that she was the same age as Henry makes it really hit home.
What a beautiful post. I’ve had to read it several times through my tears,
xxx
A really thoughtful, beautiful and moving post. I was also very upset for her and her family when I read the tweets …. utterly devastating and shocking.
I’ve felt completely affected by this too, I’ve found it hard to focus on anything since hearing the news. Another family suffering intolerable torment – its just too hard to comprehend
Beautifully put and you have summed up how we as a community and as parents feel x
A beautiful post that brings tears to my eyes, if only we could turn back the clock
Just beautiful.
I too have never actually met jennie yet we chatted often. So often that i feel I know her. There are no words. It is not far. Xx
A beautifully written post that sums up the way a lot if us are feeling at the moment. My thoughts have constantly been with Jennie and her family since this heartbreaking news and, like many others, I really wish we could take the pain away for them.
RIP Matilda Mae xxxxx
There are no words. It is not fair.
My heart is with jennie, david and their family xxv
I know jennie from when the twins. We’re born as they were in the nicu like my son was xx
My heart goes out to Jennie. I pray she and her family find the strength that will get them through this. Life changes irrevocably after such a loss and I truly hope the love of her family and friends sees her through. You are a wonderful friend.
What a very special post, I have been reading Jennie’s blog this morning and I can’t get the horror of it from my mind. The tweets are even more harrowing. Every parent’s worst nightmare. Sometimes life is so unfair – words fail me.

This is absolutely beautifully written and so true. Jennie is being so strong and finding comfort from blogging and tweeting.
I cannot comprehend what on earth Jennie and her husband are going through right now. This is a truly beautiful tribute, thank you for writing it and sharing it with us x
This post is so so from the heart, and really shows the empathy that bloggers provoke in one another, in our very shared lives.
I hadn’t read any of what you quoted (apart from the original blog post on which I didn’t feel strong enough to comment on till tonight).
Thank you for the strength it must have taken to write this beautiful post which has moved me to tears.
I hope we can all help Jennie in some way, even if it is to only show her that she is not alone.

John Cardiel Interview - Roots WL90
Published in Whitelines Magazine Issue 90, Spring ’10
Words: Chris Moran
It’s fitting that this months’ roots interviewee should be the legendary skate/snow pro John Cardiel. Cardiel has had one of the longest and most respected board-riding careers ever. His attitude and vision marked him out from a super early age, joining the likes of Tony Hawk and Danny Way when he won Thrasher Magazine’s coveted ‘Skater of the Year’ contest before his twentieth birthday. As his childhood friend Toad claimed in a recent retrospective on John, “he was just instantly good on a board. He had more natural talent than he could contain.”
John ‘Card’ Cardiel was born in 1973 and raised in Half Moon Bay, California, right where the giant wave Mavericks breaks. “I never really got into surfing,” he says now. “I was just into skateboarding and skimboarding or riding BMX bikes. The surfer guys were all kind of dicks, they had this attitude that was so above it all, and I never got that crazy surfer attitude. I was like ‘fuck surfing’.”
Instead, John skated full time, going as far as to invent his own tricks and spending all his pent-up energy on local curbs and ramps. Then a chance meeting with the snow occurred. “My parents had gotten a job up at Grass Valley, kinda halfway between San Fransisco and Tahoe,” he says, “I was only the skater kid up there, but I met some older guys like [former Burton pro] Mike Jacobi, and they started to take me up snowboarding. It was basic, you know? I had Sorell boots and duct tape and it was just as the boards had gotten p-tex. So Mike had seen me do a backflip my first day – because from skating I was naturally there with the board – so he really flipped out on me and got me a Burton snowboard sent out. I was so stoked, and I entered some competitions and yeah, I got hooked up with Avalanche snowboards.”
John quickly caught the eye of another brand – Santa Cruz – and got a reputation as one to watch. Between 1992 and 1994 his star was on the rise, and his shared part with Steve Graham in 1994′s Riders on the Storm was a revelation. In just under two minutes he showed the world two tricks that became the most fashionable things to try in the mid 90s – the late backside 180 (there was no grab, but he boned his front leg out and stalled the spin until the last moment), and an incredible backflip 360 that was one of the most talked about moves of the year (my own VHS copy went all sketchy at that point because me and my friends had paused and rewound the tape so many times).
Strangely, at the time the snowboard world was mesmerized by this young kid with a baseball cap on backwards, Cardiel himself was getting disillusioned with snowboarding. In a recent documentary series on VBS.tv, he spelled it out: “Skateboarding was better. You think about it, [with snowboarding ] you’ve got to buy the boots, buy the snowboard, buy the clothes, buy the lift ticket. That’s two hundred bucks just to fucking go up to the snow. You’ve got to be semi ‘of means’ to even kick start the sport. Now you’re around all these dudes who are professional at it; like grew up in Aspen, whatever. Snowboarders. They don’t fucking know hard times. We don’t really vibe. With skateboarders, these are my people; I just fucking vibe with them.”
He’s not a confrontational person, but these are harsh words. I ask him if that’s why he gave up on the pro snowboard scene? “Snowboarding came fairly easy to me, [but] I found that some of the kids that were sponsored and other people in the industry, they were taking their snowboarding like it was like a skilled thing, and that they were on top of the world or something. And I was thinking, ‘But you can’t do these tricks on a skateboard. You’re doing them on snow and it’s soft, dude’. I mean I just thought skating was difficult, you know? And it wasn’t until I started seeing people like Craig Kelly riding, or people taking lines in Alaska, that I was like, ‘OK that’s the real shit’, but as far as tricks went, I just thought you guys had nothing on skaters.”
Snowboarding came fairly easy to me. As far as tricks went, I just thought you guys had nothing on skaters
Cardiel was hanging out with some of the original bad boys of the sport, whose hotel-destroying and state eviction antics were documented in the early films, so I’m surprised at this. I ask him if there were any snowboarders he did like hanging with. “Oh yeah,” he says. “I mean [Mike] Ranquet was a really good snowboarder and so was Chris Roach, Monty Roach and Tucker Fransen. These guys were all good, but they were a little bit older than I was, buying beers and so on, and they were just on a different level. I wasn’t really meshed in, I would only really see them out snowboarding, so it was more like when I saw the kids coming through at some of the sponsor competitions in my age group. I just didn’t get them. Now I’m older I see that it was just that I was young and I didn’t fit in. And my thought was: ‘If the people I like – if skateboarders could tap into this – it would be over.’ They were so much more talented.”
John quietly backed out of the competition scene, and then the media scene, appearing less in magazines and films, though he did turn up in the odd road movie such as 1996′s RPM made by Fall Line Films, which featured a section of John skating and snowboarding, blurring the tricks he could do on both boards. By 1996 his skate career was absorbing all his time. He literally changed skating, trying all his tricks out switch, or landing fakie, or putting late reverts on everything. And he did it all with what looked like an effortless style. Before Cardiel came around, skating had been getting super technical, with small wheels and cut down boards all the rage. After John, it looked pretty much as it does today; his influence can never be understated. I ask him whether throughout that time he ever went back to snowboarding. “Oh yeah, all the time,” he says. “I totally had my eye on the weather storms, I always had a four wheel drive car, and I always made the effort to go whenever I was home. I used to go riding with [former pro skater-turned snowboarder] Noah Salasnek, we would get up super early and go riding and get first tracks and just lap the chairlifts you know. I loved snowboarding, I loved the ride and the thrill of snowboarding, so I never gave it up.”
In 2003 John was in Australia filming for the skate movie Tent City when disaster struck. As he ran alongside a van, chatting to the guys inside, he was run over by its trailer, crushing his spine. “Next thing I know, I wake up in the hospital and can’t feel my legs,” he recalled in a recent interview. “I was tripping. I was trying to move them but couldn’t do it. I was thinking that maybe I had a spinal tap or something, like maybe they did something to me that made me unable to feel my legs. But then I see Matt Rodriguez and my dad and Julien Stranger, and they’re like, “Dude, you’re fucked up.” I was like, “Oh, shit. I really can’t feel my legs. This is real.”
The doctors told John he’d damaged his spinal cord so badly he’d never be able to walk again. But John didn’t believe the prognosis, and with super-human determination, he vowed to beat the paralysis. When he started to feel the odd sensation in a toe or two after six months of hospital, he knew there was hope. “Every day I’m trying,” he says. “It feels good to be able to walk to the bathroom, just to walk and stuff. It’s taken a hell of a struggle to get where I’m at. I haven’t noticed this one point, like, “I can walk now!” It’s just all part of it. Even now it’s such a struggle. I still can’t call it walking, necessarily.”
I watch the X-Games and that, and the pipes have gotten so much bigger it’s just unreal. I would just love to see one run where they just busted out a big mute, a big method, and some super-styled airs.
The VBS documentary shows John’s new passion – fixed gear bikes, and he races them around his home city of Sacramento, even getting air off a concrete bank at one point. I’d read in one interview that he had tried being back on a skateboard again, and I ask him if he’s thought about getting on a snowboard?
“I would love to give it a try,” he says, “but the frustration of not being able to do what you know you can do – that’s pretty difficult for me. I wanna bust you know? I wanna go hard, and if I can’t I’m gonna be really hurting. You know when you see bumps and jumps out of the corner of your eye, and if you can’t go and hit them you’re like, ‘what am I doing here?’ But saying that I will probably give it a try.”
I ask if he’s kept up with the snowboard scene in the interim? “Oh yeah,” says John. “I pick up the magazines, and I see what’s happening.” I wonder what he makes of the Olympics and the halfpipe scene, especially Shaun White’s recent double McTwist. “Well I watch the X-Games and that, and the pipes have gotten so much bigger it’s just unreal. I watch that shit and I’m like, ‘Wow!’ The thing that irritates me is that it’s all these flips and twists. You know, I would just love to see one run where they just busted out a big mute, a big method, and some super-styled airs. That’d be a trip.”
I’m with him on that one. It’s fitting that someone who’s remembered for being one of the most stylish riders to have ever stood on a board is even today looking at snowboarding with that aesthetic eye. We could do a lot worse than listen to John Cardiel, a true living legend.

The Global Vaccine Safety Initiative (GVSI)
Background
.
The Blueprint was developed through a worldwide consultation of experts who defined its mission, vision and goals.
The Global Vaccine Safety Initiative, or GVSI, was set up to implement the Blueprint strategy. This comprises a framework of eight strategic objectives aimed at enhancing global vaccine safety activities. The strategic objectives focus on building and supporting a systemic approach to vaccine pharmacovigilance in all low- and middle-income countries.
Blueprint objectives 1-4 relate directly to the components of vaccine pharmacovigilance. Blueprint objectives 5-8 cover supporting elements that must be in place for the vaccine safety system to function effectively. The GVSI was set up to provide WHO and partners with a sound framework to strengthen vaccine pharmacovigilance worldwide.

NoProRogue: Signs
Signs of Democracy
No Prorogue Rally: Guelph, Ontario
We held grassroots rallies and marches across this great land in heartfelt protest against Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s shameless premature prorogation which he effected solely to avoid government accountability to Canadian citizens.
On the 23rd day of January, 2010 Canadians of all ages and political affiliations (or none) took to the streets in peaceful assembly.
Coming from the earlier Waterloo Rally, I was late arriving in Downtown Guelph, but I got there in time to see the Rally transform into a March.
These are some of the signs I saw on the Guelph NoProrogue march that day.
The gods smiled on our just cause: it was a mild day, although winter in Canada. Canadians of all ages turned out to give voice to our concerns through peaceful assembly.
Is it any wonder that a great deal of the outrage centers around the fact that the premature prorogation means that our hundreds of members of Parliament will not be at work due to the premature proragation… yet they continue to receive their paychecks courtesy of Canadian tax dollars paid by ordinary Canadians. That’s us.
For most Canadians no work means no pay. So this sounds rather like a prorogation vacation to many Canadians.
It took me a minute to “get” the sign (right) until the lightbulb lit and I realized it was picturing a perogie. I don’t know about you but I can always use a good laugh. Leave it to Canadians, not only are we polite, but we’ve long been world leaders in the field of humour. I rather like perogie-prorogue pun.
But the point is that the Canadian tipping point was the attack on democracy.
Who says Canadians don’t wrap themselves in the flag? We may be flawlessly polite, comparatively quiet and incredibly law abiding, but we love our country. It was inspiring to see all the people wearing Canadian flags in one way or another that day.
And heartening to see so many hand made signs. A great deal of passion — and effort — went into this day.
With government like we’ve got, we can all surely use a smile
Is it any wonder that this song was running through my head while putting this collection together?
So although this hasn’t got anything to do with the grassroots NoProrogue movement, or Canada as far as I can tell, this video has some of the funniest signs I’ve seen in a long time… accompanied by the Tesla song “Signs”.

Yoga to strengthen & flatten abdominals, tone back, legs, hips, and more.
Posted by: Julie Lusk
This yoga sequence helps with abdominal core strength and tones the back while also lengthening the psoas muscles.
The psoas, deep and large, runs from the lumbar spine, stretches over the hip joint and under the abs, and attaches to inner thigh bone.
Traditional leg lifts, “crunches” and sit-ups are often done to strengthen and flatten the abdominal muscles. The problem is that they also tighten and shorten the psoas tipping the pelvis forward, pushing your belly out (yuk) and misalignment of the back.
A tight psoas contributes to back, hip and knee problems, indigestion, dysfunctional breathing, instability, and other problems.
This particular yoga sequence activates the psoas muscle in a progressive manner: first facing forward, to the side, and then turning.
Other beneficial yoga postures are the forearm plank and side plank (creates core stability and strength with a neutral psoas) and pigeon (stretches and releases the psoas).
Consult a qualified yoga professional for instructions and contraindications. As with all exercise, practice for your own benefits and at your own risk.

By Ernest Scheyder
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Chemical maker DuPont
The company, which has the largest market value among U.S. chemical makers, plans to keep capital spending at around $1.8 billion in 2013 and is delaying some projects until it is clear what U.S. tax policy will be, Kullman said.
The company had planned to hike spending in the new year.
"We're not going to spend as much as we thought next year," she said in an interview with Reuters on Wednesday.
"We've looked at every program and asked, 'Can we spend less money now and delay some programs six months?'"
Agriculture and nutrition projects may get more funding due to their growth potential, but there's some uncertainty in the automotive sector, where DuPont sells paints and plastics, she said.
"Consumers will hold back until the fiscal cliff is resolved," said Kullman, who has run the Wilmington, Delaware-based company since 2009.
"It's not about politics anymore," she said. "It's about the country. It's about reducing our debt. It's about making a viable economy long into the future."
Kullman said she personally is willing to pay higher U.S. federal income taxes to help avert the fiscal cliff, a package of spending cuts and tax hikes due to take effect in January unless Washington lawmakers agree on a budget deal.
Kullman's 2011 compensation package was worth $12.2 million.
"We understand there has to be a balanced equation. There has to be increased revenues and there has to be decreased spending," she said.
If there is only a partial deal, one that doesn't address spending and the U.S. federal debt, Kullman said it could reduce U.S. GDP growth by as much as one percentage point.
"The biggest concern is not that they don't avert the cliff, but that they put forward a plan and never execute, or don't execute in a way that addresses the debt," she said. "Because otherwise you're just going to run up against that debt ceiling constantly."
BUYBACK VS. DIVIDENDS
Late Tuesday, DuPont announced a $1 billion stock buyback and said 2012 profit should hit the high end of its forecast.
DuPont decided a buyback, rather than a one-time dividend, would be better for shareholders, Kullman said. The company pays a 32-cent quarterly dividend currently, one of the better yields available to investors.
Due to the "fiscal cliff" uncertainty, Wal-Mart
DuPont considered that approach, but decided against it, Kullman said.
"With the uncertainty that's out there, and with the tax law changes, we believe it better serves our shareholders to reduce our share count," she said. "Many of our shareholders are tax-exempt funds, so they don't pay tax on dividends."
NATURAL GAS EXPORTS
Kullman said
Asked if DuPont would support exports of natural gas, Kullman said, "I do think as a country we need to first and foremost make sure we have energy security ... If we have great excess reserves that we can monetize, that should be part of a consideration."
DuPont shares closed up 1.4 percent at $44.30 on the New York Stock Exchange on Wednesday.

From WENN.com
The two actors were famed for their musclebound roles during their 1980s heyday but they were left mortified during their latest joint project when each pulled a calf muscle performing routine manoeuvres.
Stallone got the injury jumping off a ladder so he warned his pal to take care, prompting Schwarzenegger to decide to warm up first - but he then suffered the same ailment doing his stretching exercises.
The Terminator star tells British magazine Live, ""Sly pulled his calf. He said to me, 'Be careful jumping down from that ladder, Arnold.' I said, 'Thanks for telling me; I'm going to warm up first.' So the next morning I'm warming up and I pull my calf muscle.
""So now we're both injured and the doctor comes and has to give us both cortisone shots. It would never have happened 20 years ago. We were like two idiots standing there. It was pitiful.""
The incident was not the pair's first health woes - they underwent joint shoulder surgery last year (12) before starting work on The Tomb.

Washinton Examiner: Just before 6:00 Monday night, Occupy D.C. protesters at McPherson Square gathered for their nightly general assembly… The protesters have agreed upon 16 guidelines. Guideline number 10 reads, “Don’t assume gender. When possible, go with gender-neutral pronouns.” To keep the noise level down, protesters use hand signals instead of vocal commands to demonstrate opinion. “Twinkle fingers,” performed by wiggling fingers at ear level, shows approval. Protesters agreed that the de-escalation committee would seek non-violent methods to protest. They requested that the committee be diverse and specifically discouraged too much participation by white heterosexual males. During the final session reserved for comments, discussions became somewhat heated when a man stood and said through the “human mic,” “We are all God’s children. We should not label each other.” Another man responded, “Issues of inequality should be at the center of discussions.” A woman added, “Don’t mention God. It makes me feel like I have to hide my agnostic beliefs.”
By 7:00 p.m. the meeting was adjourned, and protesters slowly dispersed. (LOL) (Emphasis & laughter mine)
Took these dipsh1ts an hour to wrap it up? What’s so complicated? For 99% of us (see what I just did?), if you have a c0ck and b@lls, you’re male. Vag and flume? You’re female. If you’re Chas Bono, you’re off Dancing With The Stars, because you’re horrible at dancing with stars. Boom, labeling done, meeting adjourned. Go. Home.

After the success of his album "Believe", Canadian singer Justin Bieber is now producing a new track for the upcoming album of his girlfriend singer Selena Gomez.
Justin wrote the lyrics of the song, whose title is not yet revealed, and he will produce it too.
The track will be featured in Selena's upcoming album set for release on 2013, in addition to other tracks by Toby Gad and Rock Mafia.
Its noteworthy that some critics suggested that the album may contain confessions about Selena's relation with Bieber like her previous single "Love You Like A Love Song".
Do you think Robert Pattinson should forgive Kristen Stewart for cheating on him?

1 #!/usr/bin/env python 2 # -*- coding: iso-8859-1 -*- 3 """ 4 MoinMoin - mod_wsgi driver script 5 ... 6 """ 7 8 from MoinMoin.server.server_wsgi import WsgiConfig, moinmoinApp 9 from cherrypy.wsgiserver import CherryPyWSGIServer, WSGIPathInfoDispatcher 10 11 class Config(WsgiConfig): 12 pass 13 14 config = Config() 15 16 application = moinmoinApp 17 18 def run_cherrypy(app, address='', port=8080): 19 from cherrypy import wsgiserver 20 d = WSGIPathInfoDispatcher({'/': app}) 21 server = CherryPyWSGIServer((address, port), d, 22 server_name='mywiki.your.domain') 23 try: 24 server.start() 25 except KeyboardInterrupt: 26 server.stop() 27 28 run_cherrypy(application, '0.0.0.0', 8080)
Change the server_name= part and the port number, if you want. You may use any port number greater than 1023 that's not already being used by something else. (We'll be running this program as an unprivileged user, so we can't use ports under 1024.) Give it execute permissions with a chmod 755 moin.wsgi command.
Arrange for the moin.wsgi program to be run as your wiki user, inside the wiki directory, according to whatever techniques you use on your system for boot scripts or the like. Start it running now. You should see it listening on port 8080 (or whatever you set in the moin.wsgi file).
Edit your Apache configuration (httpd.conf or whatever filename is correct for your system):
... Alias /moin_static183/ "/usr/local/share/moin/htdocs/" ... NameVirtualHost *:80 ... <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName mywiki.your.domain ServerAdmin [email protected] RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/moin_static.../ RewriteRule ^/(.*) [P] ProxyRequests Off ProxyPassReverse / ErrorLog /var/www/logs/mywiki.your.domain-error.log CustomLog /var/www/logs/mywiki.your.domain-access.log combined </VirtualHost>
Obviously, you should change the htdocs location, the port number, and the logfile locations as necessary.
The moin_static183 in the Alias should be changed for each version of MoinMoin. The moin_static... part in the RewriteCond is a regular expression, so it will match every version, and doesn't need adjustment. The purpose of the rewriting code here is to allow the Alias to work for the static content URLs, and rewrite (proxy) everything else to the CherryPy service. Reload or restart your Apache so that it picks up the changes.
That's basically all. Your wiki should be visible at now. Test everything and make sure it seems correct.

- p1. Laminin is a protein that bonds living cells together.
- p2. Laminin is shaped like a cross.
- p3. The cross is the symbol of Christianity.
- c1. Laminin's shape is the signature or hallmark of an intelligent designer
- c2. That designer is the Christian god.
Counter arguments.
Cherry picking
Laminin is not the only protein or cell found in animal connective tissues. None of the others (nor their structural illustrations) can be said to be shaped like a cross.
As noted above, laminin is only found in animals. Is it being suggested that another entity designed the plants?
Graven image
A common criticism of Christianity is that it breaks the second commandment (of the Biblical Ten Commandments) by the use of the cross or crucifix as a symbol of worship. If this is an accurate criticism, then the Christian god is encouraging the breaking of its own commandments. and photo of laminin as found in nature
- [2] - Youtube clip of Giglio making the laminin argument
- A lame argument about laminin A good rebuttal
- Many other molecules have shapes that can be seen or imagined as special in many different religions.

He was educated in catholic schools, being the most important the Instituto Miguel León Prado which awaken his curiousity about religion and beliefs.
During his childhood, he got involved in a Catholic church, getting even to do as an acolyte. Later, he joined a Krishna community for several years, becoming a vegetarian for over 5 years.
Later at University, his curiosity about religions and beliefs continue to growing bigger. At that time, considering his better capabilities for using reason and to question matters (you don't grow old in vane), he realized he didn't need any religions in his life, in particular after the 11S events occured, so he defined himself as an agnostic, later when he discovers The Atheist Experience show, he adds to his questions the belief in God, eventually becoming an atheist.
He's an Informatic and Computer Engineer from the Universidad de Santiago de Chile currently working as a Software Developer at a middle size IT company in Santiago de Chile.

Post a small example of your material or environment map image below (100 x 100 pixel image) and provide a link to the uploaded file
Important: Please give your uploaded file a unique name, if you upload a file with a with the same name as an existing file, it overwrites without asking. So if you name your file map.zip, it's likely to either get overwritten or overwrite someone else's file…
Choose the image for your e-map and load it into an image editor like Photoshop. Crop it square. In PS there is a distortion filter called “spherize”, other programs will have something similar. Spherize the image (in PS at 100%). Optionally, use the ellipse selection tool with Shift and select corner to corner to create a circle corresponding with the sphere; invert the selection and delete the corners outside the sphere image. Use Save for Web and save the image at 256 x 256 pixels, in PNG or JPG format. Place it in your e-map folder (your path may be different):

VTOL Pad
From Mechwarrior Living Legends Wiki
The VTOL pad is the place where VTOLs can be bought, repaired and rearmed.
They consist of 2 landing pads where newly built VTOLs will spawn and where VTOLs can be repaired and rearmed, and a tower between those, where Battle Armor Weapons and VTOLs can be purchased.
They are often combined with a ASF Hangar to form a single big airfield.

If you think your freeform project might be somehow misconfigured - for example, IDE functions such as code completion or Find Usages are not working - one diagnostic tool you can use is the NetBeans Project Metadata Inspector module, available on the Plugin Portal update center. After installing, right-click a project node and select Inspect Project Metadata. You will see a dump in the Output Window of all kinds of relevant information. Pay attention to classpaths and associated sources in particular. You can also make a similar regular Java project, inspect its metadata, and compare the results.
If you believe there is a problem in the IDE and you need to file a bug report, the output of this module can be helpful, but there is no substitute for a complete, self-contained, reproducible test case; see DevFaqFileBug.
Applies to: NB 7.0, 7.1

OpenmokoFramework/Status Update 5
From Openmoko
Revision as of 02:30,.
- The GSM API (org.freesmartphone.GSM.*) has proven very solid and will be tagged 0.9 before the next milestone.
- The Device API (org.freesmartphone.Device.*) has received some additions for power management and starts stabilizing.
- The Usage API () which was merely a reference counting wrapper over the Device API has gained two companions:
- The Resource API () turns this into a full-blown resource management system with choosable policies etc.
- The Suspend call is resource-aware and gives all resources a chance to prepare for a suspend and to recover after a suspend.
- org.freesmartphone.Objects.ListObjectsByInterface is using DBus-introspection now.
- The Events subsystem has gained an experimental DBus interface to add and remove rules and to test triggers.

Fort Edmonton Park is Canada's largest living historic park, and one of Edmonton's premier tourist attractions. Located in the middle of Edmonton, this reconstructed fort lies five kilometers upstream from its original location, representing it as it stood in 1846.
The Fort Edmonton Park represents four distinct time periods, exploring Edmonton's development from a fur trade post in the vast Northwest, to a booming metropolitan center after the First World War.
The park features over 75 structures, many of which are the originals. Costumed interpreters operate the site and live the way of the past. Visitors enjoy exploring each building and each room, and talking to the role-playing interpreters.
The price of admission includes free steam engine train and streetcar rides, and period rides such as wagon, stagecoach, pony and buggy are also available with a small charge.
Enjoy special events at this venue on occasion like Canada Day (July 1, Canada's independence celebrations) that compare to none across

[edit] Location
The geohash is located directly in Berne.
[edit] Participants
[edit] The Expedition
[edit] TheOneRing
The geohash was only 5.9km from my flat, as the bird flies, so I decided that is was the perfect opportunity to get the Walk geohash. The total distance was just a bit more (6.5km).
I was not expecting what I saw when I arrived at the geohash: a wonderful marker drawn on the street. Thanks the other team for that. Unfortunately they left before I arrived and we didn't met.
While I waited 4pm to come, Crox arrived by bike. We haven't met each other before and it was great because of the Saturday meetup. Together we waited talking until 4 o'clock, but the other team didn't show up again. After a while we said goodbye and I walked back home. On the way it drizzled from time to time, but way too less to complain about. In contrary, it was quite convenient in the hot and humid conditions.
[edit] Arches, Swissbite, Fredy, Kei, Nemeova, Rahel
Our geohashing trip was planned long ago. Well, not much regarding any details, but we all made sure to keep the day free for a geohashing adventure. The day before our trip, in the evening, when the hash points were known, we got together for a phone conference to discuss and plan the details of our trip.
During our phone conference, we saw that the hash of the Bern graticule fell right into the city of Bern. Now for some of us, this was way too easy to reach, leading to the (in hindsight, unfortunate - more on that later) consensus do a multihash, going to Bern in the morning, and from there head off to the hash in the graticule of Basel in an attempt to reach at/before the designated hour for meet-ups.
So on 2011-08-06, all of us (well, except those fortunate ones living in Bern) took a train to Bern, meeting there at 11 o'clock. Obviously, as it always is when you plan something, this did not work out, because Nemeova and Arches were arriving later. Nemeova's excuse was that her a public transport subscription that was beyond its validity date (and because it was not her but the conductor noticing this, she was also handed a hefty fine) and the renewal took what seemed like an eternity, making her miss her train, whereas Arches was just late so that Nemeova didn’t have to travel to Bern all alone.
After waiting ages for the tardy ones to arrive, we were off to buy some chalk. This was crucial, as we wanted to leave a great non-permanent mark at the hash. From Google-Maps and our local insiders, we already knew that the hash was on a road in a residential quarter, so we agreed that chalk was perfect. While shopping for chalk, a cute yellow ball with a StupidGrin™ printed on caught Nemeova's attention, which she obviously had to buy, thereby providing us with a hashscot.
After our shopping spree, Swissbite, Rahel and Fredy, our local hashers, started arguing about which bus we should take to get closest to the hash, nearly leading to a breakup in its course. Flurry, Nemeova and Kei used this time to buy their bus tickets, and after the argument was over, we all boarded a bus (the same one, even) which brought us pretty close to the hash, with only about 5 minutes of walking at a slow pace left.
Once we arrived, we quibbled over who’d get which color of chalk, and then started drawing a marvellous piece of art on the street. We were observed by some resident children, but they were too shy to approach us or do more than peeking at what we were doing from behind the hedge separating the road from their house. They did ask their parents what "those big guys are doing with the chalk on the road". It was quite cute, actually :-) We heard no response from the parents, though, and we continued our drawing, which was going to cause marvel and wonder later on, and neither a police patrol nor private cars could stop us (well, they caused a short break, as we had to clear the road for them, but that doesn’t count, does it?).
After finishing our marker and taking the mandatory StupidGrin™ pictures, we were off for lunch in Bern. Unfortunately we couldn't wait for Crox and TheOneRing to arrive because we had to get to our second hash in France.

Paul McNulty was the Deputy Attorney General for the Greatest Attorney General Ever, and a loyal supporter of The Greatest President Ever.
In May, 2007, he quit working for The Greatest Administration Ever to spend more time with his family.
During a press conference to explain his feelings about Mr. McNulty leaving to spend more time with his family, Mr. Gonzales admitted that McNulty was single-handedly responsible for the U.S. attorney firings scandal. And his resignation completely removes any cloud which may have been hanging over the head of Alberto Gonzales.
In factiness, during testimony before Congress, Mr. Gonzales wished that Mr. McNulty was more involved, which in no way means that Mr. Gonzales lied either time, but that both instances were true.
Mr. Gonzales wished Mr. McNulty was more involved in the firings and Mr. McNulty was single-handedly responsible for the U.S. attorney firings.

On the Heels of the RSA SecurID Recall
Posted by jcasaretto in Security, Wikibon on June 13, 2011
A recently announced recall of RSA’s SecurID product is causing waves across the industry. Navigating these events and considering the implications, we review some of the aspects and analyze where the industry stands in relation to these conditions.
Breaches
The details on the various federal contractor breaches have continued to emerge in recent news. Anofficial recent announcement from RSA acknowledged the previously rumored link between the initial RSA incident to the Lockheed Martin intrusion. L-3 and Northrop Grumman are likely to have been attacked through the same vector. This alarming series of breaches has caught the attention of media and customers alike. Among other sources, China has been mentioned as a possible source for these attacks. Meanwhile, reports of major defense contractors replacing RSA SecurID tokens with other token technology have been seen.
Conclusions from Federal, RSA hacks
Posted by jcasaretto in Security on June 2, 2011
The recent eruption of reporting on federal contractor organizations and recent compromises has certainly been alarming. As a result of this there have been a number of theories and conspiracies coming forward. At the root of these theories is a commonality derived from the RSA compromise where it is believed that the cryptographic keys for SecurID may have been taken. What these events mean to the enterprise however remains to be seen. With absolute certainty, federal institutions and their affiliates will be on watch for continued attacks, and if indeed RSA related, we can be sure that they are addressing deficiencies by all technological means possible.

Emulex Helps Data Protection and Privacy Through Encryption
Posted by Dennis Martin in Wikibon on November 13, 2009
Emulex’s strategic direction is to help IT shops provide additional data protection and privacy by encrypting data at the source – in the host server. There has been plenty of news about data breaches and literally millions of data records at risk, and some of the laws requiring public disclosure of data breaches. More recently, some states within the USA have passed laws requiring encryption for transmission or storage of personally identifiable information outside of a secure system. CIOs can no longer debate about whether to encrypt. Encryption is no longer an option, but a requirement.

THE near-total destruction of Baghdad's city zoo over the course of the 2003 invasion of Iraq was, in retrospect, a grim portent of the poor planning and disastrous mismanagement that would characterize the early years of the Iraq war. The zoo had been the largest in the Middle East before the invasion, with more than 650 animals; eight days after coalition troops arrived in the city, however, all but 35 were dead. "All the Americans would've had to do is drop off 50 men, with a few vets and a truckload of food, and they wouldn't have lost any of the animals," Lawrence Anthony, a South Africa conservationist who salvaged what was left of the zoo after the invasion, told me last year.
So it's heartening to read a February 2008 cable from the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, signed by embassy staffer Greg D'Elia and released by WikiLeaks over the weekend, detailing the Baghdad zoo's resurgence as "reportedly … the most popular destination for family outings in Baghdad." As of late 2007, security in the city was still dicey enough that most of the zoo's visitors came from the immediately surrounding neighborhoods. But as the worst of the brutal sectarian violence of the preceding years ebbed, some 8,000 Baghdadis were visiting each weekend, and the zookeepers could boast of some one-of-a-kind acquisitions:
[T]he Baghdad Zoo staff took particular pleasure in reclaiming for the Iraqi public the exotic animals formerly possessed by Saddam Hussein and his family. Uday's pampered cheetah is now tame enough for visitors to pet. Two of Saddam's three lions gave birth last year to three cubs each; now the Zoo has nine lions on display. The Zoo also has in its possession Saddam Hussein's former stallion, Al Abor -- "the most famous horse in Iraq," according to Mousa. Saddam Hussein rode Al Abor in countless parades and public ceremonies.
The best part of the cable is its account of the zoo's "highlights and lowlights":
The Baghdad Zoo also featured some primitive practices, including the daily slaughter of two donkeys to feed the lions, and some modern flourishes, such as exotic fish with an image of the Iraqi flag lasered permanently into their scales. (NOTE: These fish sport the old Iraqi flag. Zoo staff could not predict whether they will employ laser surgery to amend these now-outlawed, swimming flags. END NOTE.)
Then there are the alcoholic bears:
To ease the trauma of the brown bears' move from Saddam Hussein's possession into the Zoo, staff reportedly plied them with copious amounts of Arak; visitors repeated rumors that the disheveled bears continue to imbibe this powerful drink.

WikiLeaks seems to have rediscovered the news cycle, releasing seven cables from the U.S. Embassy in Cairo as the Egyptian government crackdown on protesters and journalists turned ugly Thursday. There's not much in them that you didn't know if you've ever read a Human Rights Watch report on Egypt, though a 2009 scene-setter for a visit by FBI Director Robert Mueller does effectively sum up the sorry state of human rights and civil liberties in Hosni Mubarak's country:
Egypt's police and domestic security services continue to be dogged by persistent, credible allegations of abuse of detainees. Police brutality in Egypt against common criminals is routine and pervasive, resulting from poor training and understaff. The GOE [government of Egypt] has not yet made a serious effort to transform the police from an instrument of regime power into a public service institution, but there are indications that the government is allowing the courts increased independence to adjudicate some police brutality cases.

It's been a while since WikiLeaked checked in on Ali Abdullah Saleh, Yemen's newly embattled president and a reliably interesting character in the WikiLeaks oeuvre. Most of what we've seen from Saleh in the leaked U.S. State Department cables has followed a pattern in which U.S. diplomats try to coax more counterterrorism cooperation out of the veteran strongman, while Saleh -- whose government received $155 million in military aid from the United States in 2010, twice the previous year's amount -- tries to finagle more cash and materiel out of the Americans. A newly released December 2004 State Department cable recounting a meeting between Saleh and U.S. Ambassador Thomas C. Krajeski (pictured above with Saleh in a 2007 photo) is no exception.
The meeting takes place a little more than a month after U.S. President George W. Bush's reelection; Saleh badly wants to meet with Bush in Washington to congratulate him personally, he tells Krajeski, and also talk about "important new developments in the region 'that can only be discussed face to face,'" according to the cable. Krajeski hems and haws a bit about this, at which point, the cable notes, "True to form, Saleh launched into a list of what he believes the U.S. owes him. 'Where is the money for the Army, and what about my spare (F-5) parts?' Saleh demanded." (The cable notes, a little acidly, that there have been reported problems with getting the Yemeni Ministry of Defense "to follow through with the necessary paperwork on parts and equipment in order to spend the 17 million USD in Yemen's [foreign military financing] account.")
There's also the matter of smaller weapons, specifically the massive number of small arms being bought and sold in Yemen:
Pointing out that any meetings with senior U.S. officials would quickly turn to the subject of Yemen's huge grey market in SA/LW [small arms/light weapons], insisting that he was already "cracking down" on the SA/LWs market.
The conversation soon turns, inevitably, to counterterrorism, in which Saleh has been a longstanding if not unproblematic partner to the United States. Pressed on the subject of Hadi Dulqum, an arms dealer with alleged links to Al Qaeda, the cable reports [U.S. government] agrees with the Saudis, said Ambassador, adding that Dulqum's connections with AQ are too extensive for him to be simply another Yemeni arms dealer.
Months later, Saleh does manage to swing a White House invite, prompting a June 2005 cable from the Sanaa embassy titled PRIORITIES FOR WASHINGTON VISIT: SALEH NEEDS TO BE PART OF THE SOLUTION. The cable characterizes relations with Saleh's government as "frustrating and difficult," noting that "Saleh has indicated to top advisors in the past that he believes he can pull the wool over the eyes of the [U.S. government.]" On the political front, "Saleh touts Yemen as a leader in regional reform and has committed to democratization," the cable says. "Domestically, however, he has run-out of reforms he can implement at no political cost to himself."
The cable proposes "a public show of support via a greater role in public fora such as the G-8" as a possible inducement to greater democratization, but it seems that half a decade later, the upheavals in Tunisia and Egypt may have done the job more effectively.

On Thursday, Julian Assange told reporters that WikiLeaks would be releasing State Department cables concerning the assassination of Hamas operative Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in Dubai in January, and he has made good on the promise with a couple of short dispatches from the U.S. embassy in Abu Dhabi. They don't offer any more insight into the still-unsolved killing, but they do paint a picture of the diplomatic conundrum the incident posed for the United Emirates and the United States..
The story was first reported 10 days later by Reuters, and as it happened, U.S. Ambassador Richard Olson was at a social event with UAE Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed when it broke, according to one of the two embassy cables, signed by Olson. An unnamed UAE media advisor, Olson reports in the Jan. 31 cable, ."
The UAE was no friend of Hamas -- the emirate's discontent with Hamas patron Iran is a recurring theme in the WikiLeaks corpus -- but its government was, of course, not exactly eager to be seen as enabling an Israeli incursion on the sovereignty of an Arab state, either. The cable describes the UAE officials' reasoning, and decision:.
American officials had their own decision to make about where their loyalties were -- one documented in the second cable, signed by Olson deputy Doug Greene, several weeks later. Greene reports that UAE officials requested the embassy's help in acquiring account data for credit cards, issued by a bank in Iowa, that investigators had linked to suspects in the assassination. The request was apparently turned down, and as Haaretz reports, the State Department denied at the time that any requests had been made. "By not accepting the request," Haaretz's Yossi Melman writes, "the Obama administration harmed the Dubai investigation efforts and assisted Israel instead." The U.S. government did eventually assist in the investigation, however, identifying American companies that may have been used to finance the operation.

That's the backstory to a series of U.S. State Department cables the Guardian is reporting on (but hasn't released) this morning, which allege that Queen Sirikit, Bhumibol's wife, had a hand in the 2006 coup. Samak Sundaravej, who briefly served as prime minister during the chaotic post-coup years, tells U.S. diplomats that Sirikit
was indirectly "responsible for the 2006 coup d'état." ....
The Guardian adds that "there is no mention in the cables of any coup involvement by King Bhumibol himself," but that they do report that shortly after the coup, "Bhumibol called the leaders of the coup to his palace for a meeting the evening after Thaksin was ousted and was 'happy, smiling throughout.'"
Speculation that North Korea is aiding the Burmese junta in its aspiring nuclear program have been around for years, at least since the Far Eastern Economic Review first published an investigation on the subject in November 2003. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton publicly fretted about North Korean involvement in July 2009, and the U.N. security council accused the Hermit Kingdom of shipping centrifuge components to the Burmese junta via a series of shell companies in a report last month.
These reports range from speculation to informed speculation, and the cables from the U.S. embassy in Rangoon released by WikiLeaks yesterday aren't qualitatively different, though they add a few new intriguing data points.
In January 2004, an "expatriate businessman" told the embassy that he had heard rumors of a nuclear facility under construction in Magway Division along the Irawaddy River, and reported other suspicious goings-on: barges traveling up the river with building materials of a size too large for any of the industrial development projects in the area, a new airport with a landing strip so wide, the informant said, that "you could land the space shuttle on it."
The following August, an informant told the embassy that "some 300 North Koreans" were in the same area, assembling missiles and building an underground facility at a secret construction site. The author of the State Department cable seems skeptical, both about the storyteller and the story ("the number of North Koreans supposedly working at this site strikes us as improbably high"), but notes that this "second-hand account of North Korean involvement with missile assembly and military construction in Magway Division generally tracks with other information Embassy Rangoon and others hve reported in various channels."
North Korea has generally been suspected of helping Burma with its ballistic missile efforts, but not necessarily the actual nuclear program. So it's notable that this August 2009 cable reports a conversation with Australian Ambassador to Burma Michelle Chan, who told the U.S. embassy that her contact in the Burmese government
told her the Burma-DPRK connection is not just about conventional weapons. There is a peaceful nuclear component intended to address Burma's chronic lack of electrical power generation. When Chan cited reports of a Burma-Russia agreement for development of a peaceful nuclear reactor, XXXXXXXXXXXX responded that the agreement with Russia is currently just for "software, training." The DPRK agreement is for "hardware." XXXXXXXXXXXX confirmed reports Burma's Army Chief of Staff (third highest ranking) General Thura Shwe Mann visited the DPRK last November. Asked why Thura Shwe Mann, XXXXXXXXXXXX responded, "Because he is in charge of all military activities." XXXXXXXXXXXX reportedly seemed surprised that the West might be concerned by a Burma-DPRK "peaceful" nuclear relationship. XXXXXXXXXXXX suggested that, after all, given sanctions, Burma really has "no other options" but to develop the relationship with North Korea.
A couple other somewhat less conclusive cables about Burma's nuclear activities are here and here. Speculation about what exactly the Burmese junta is up to has increased since a former army major went to a Burmese pro-democracy group with a mountain of inside information on the country's nuclear agenda. Democratic Voice of Burma's thorough debriefing of the major, Sai Thein Win, is still the most authoritative account of what's going on in the isolated country. For now, most of the rest -- including these new cables -- is difficult to definitively parse one way or the other.

One of the latest WikiLeaks scoops is that Royal Dutch/Shell managed to infiltrate employees into every important Nigerian ministry, and obtain regular inside intelligence on government doings, as my colleague Beth Dickinson wrote late last night. My question is, if Shell is so capable and has Nigeria so well wired, why does it continue to be the main target of attack by local militants?
This is a company that three weeks ago yet again declared force majeure to protect itself against lawsuits for non-delivery of some 125,000 barrels a day of oil because of militant attacks on its pipeline network in the country. It could take until next month to repair the Escravos-Warri pipeline, the company says.
All in all, Shell produced 629,000 barrels of oil a day last year, which sounds like a lot until you consider that its facilities are capable of producing more than 1 million barrels a day. Much of that difference is accounted for by massive attacks on its installations. In 2008, Shell also had a bad year, with militants attacking and shutting down its flagship 200,000-barrel-a day Bonga oil platform. Two years before that, Shell threatened to pull out of the Niger Delta entirely after a spate of attacks on its installations resulted in numerous deaths and kidnappings.
This is not meant to be snarky. But is the Nigerian government all that important in this case? Given the stakes, one does wonder if Shell is putting as much effort into infiltrating the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, the group responsible for much of the mayhem. A five-year-old story by Michael Peel, the Financial Times' former Nigeria correspondent, reported that militants and others were stealing somewhere between 275,000 barrels a day and 685,000 barrels a day of oil from Shell and other pipelines, at the time worth between $1.5 billion and $4 billion a year. They were spending much of that money on weapons -- which in their business counts as reinvestment into future attacks.

WikiLeaks hasn't posted the cables yet, but the New York Times's Scott Shane has a piece out drawing from a forthcoming batch of Yemen dispatches, focusing on the United States' relationship with the wily Ali Abdullah Saleh, Yemen's president of three decades.
Nothing in it is terribly surprising if you've read much about Saleh, whose attempts to capitalize on the American government's sudden interest in his country following last year's foiled Christmas Day bomb plot, which was hatched in Yemen, are notorious enough to have inspired a Saturday Night Live skit. Still, some of the best character studies in the cables thus far have been of the United States' inconvenient allies in the Middle East and the former Soviet Union -- rulers like Saleh, Azerbaijan's Ilham Aliyev, and Kazakhstan's Nursultan Nazarbayev -- so the piece is definitely worth a read.
The WikiLeaks cables do add some interesting details to the story of Prince Muhammad bin Nayef, Saudi Arabia's intelligence chief, who has emerged since last year as an important player in counterterrorism efforts in Yemen. After al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula botched an assassination attempt on Nayef in August 2009, the Saudis, who share a sprawling border with Yemen, stepped up their cooperation with American intelligence agencies, and were instrumental in foiling AQAP's attempt to blow up two cargo planes over the United States last month. A May 2009 cable released earlier this week captures Nayef's growing sense of alarm even before the assassination attempt, in an account of a meeting between the prince and U.S. Ambassador Richard Holbrooke.
Nayef tells Holbrooke, "We have a problem called Yemen." He says that Saleh's "vision of Yemen has shrunk to Sana'a," the capital city in the north, and the Yemeni president has lost what connections he had once had with the tribes that form the de facto government of Yemen's once independent and now tenuously controlled south. The Saudis, Nayef claims, have better relations with the southern tribes, and have taken matters into their own hands, financing development projects in the tribal regions that host AQAP in an effort to win Yemeni hearts and minds. I wonder how that's working out...

The latest dump of classified information stolen from the U.S. government is extraordinarily damaging to U.S. national security, but not in the way that WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange, apparently intended. (If the summer leak was a gusher what does that make this latest round, a tsunami?)
Assange is a garden-variety anti-American who believes that the United States is a malevolent actor which engages in all sorts of shameful secret activities that, if revealed, would discredit all aspects of American power. Prior to earlier dumps of classified material, Assange claimed that the secret files would document massive war crimes by the United States. They did not.
Based on the depictions of the cables in the media (the New York Times coverage begins here, the Guardian coverage begins here, and Der Spiegel's coverage begins here, it appears the same thing is true for this latest batch. The media apparently found no instances of shameful behavior -- I am assuming that if they had done so, they would have led with those stories. Instead, the cables document that American diplomats have been doing what they are supposed to be doing: collecting information, reporting their opinions and insights back to headquarters, and trying to build international cooperation in pursuit of core American foreign-policy goals.
The cables document that diplomats often relay information that would be, well, undiplomatic to say publicly. Diplomats often get foreign interlocutors to be more candid when they believe their discussions will remain confidential. Diplomats also opine on a range of topics -- the limitations of current lines of U.S. policy or the weaknesses of allies -- that would compromise an administration's effectiveness if shared with a general audience, but not because the views were dishonorable, or indicated that the United States was engaged in reprehensible behavior.
Assange's damage to the United States is not in what he discovered about the past, but rather in the peril he has placed our diplomats, our friends and partners, and our policies in the future. The massive security breach has made every bilateral relationship more difficult and likely lowered the quality of diplomatic reporting. Will our interlocutors be as candid now that they have seen what happens? Ironically, Assange's attack on our diplomats has meant that our statecraft may be more dependent on cruder instruments of state power, especially brute force. (Elsewhere on FP, Dan Drezner reads the situation just as I do and notes one further likely result: an uptick in intelligence failures as the bureaucracy responds by stove piping information to prevent future espionage of this sort.)
If WikiLeaks had uncovered evidence of gross misdeeds, I suppose reasonable people could debate the balance of interests the dump might have served. Outlandish claims to the contrary notwithstanding, the leaks have done nothing of the sort. Instead, they have damaged the United States and in doing so achieved no higher purpose than the damage they have done. To fervent anti-Americans, weakening the United States is an end unto itself.
In wartime, we should expect enemies to seek to damage us in this way. How will President Obama respond to an enemy attack of this sort?

The new WikiLeaks documents show that Iran has been hunting for missile technology all over the world, seeking to buy gyroscopes, jet vanes and metals, and perhaps whole missiles from North Korea. But Iran also has experienced great difficulty building longer range missiles. Why? Some clues can be found in one of the most interesting documents just released, a briefing that Russian officials gave their American counterparts on Iran's progress, or lack of it.
A summary of the Dec. 22, 2009 meeting was marked "secret" but tumbled out on Sunday in the reams of memos released by WikiLeaks and major news organizations. Fourteen Russian and 15 U.S. government officials compared notes that day about missile threats from Iran and North Korea.
Judging by the summary, it was a lively back and forth, during which the Russians claimed the threat from Iran's missiles is not as great as some have predicted in the United States. The size and nature of the threat is important because it undergirds the U.S. plans for a multi-billion dollar ballistic missile defense system.
The Russians were prepared to talk "seriously" with the U.S. group, the summary says. Their message was Iran is struggling to lengthen the range of missiles that could carry heavy loads, such as a one-ton nuclear warhead, that might threaten the region or beyond. The Russians said their basic conclusion is that "Iran's ballistic missile program continues to be directed toward developing combat ready missiles to address regional concerns," not targets like the United States.
This was also the assessment made in May by the International Institute of Strategic Studies.
In the December meeting, there was a sharp disagreement about the U.S. claim that North Korea sold to Iran a batch of 19 missiles, known as the BM-25. The transfer was first reported publicly in 2006; the BM-25 missile is supposedly based on a Soviet naval ballistic missile design, the R-27, known in the West as the SS-N-6. This missile was first developed in the 1960s and later modernized; it was in service in the Soviet Union until 1988. Iran has not tested any of the missiles it imported. The U.S. officials speculated that Iran may have purchased it to reverse-engineer the technology (although North Korea has been known to ship parts, expertise and manufacturing facilities as well as the missiles themselves.) The U.S. officials said photos of the Iranian space launch rocket, the Safir, show an engine which looks like the one on the R-27, as well as fuel tanks and welds that resemble it. The U.S. officials said they had received "direct evidence" of the missile transfer from North Korea to Iran.
But the Russians strongly dismissed the BM-25 as a mirage, according to the summary. They said Iran would not have purchased an untested missile, and they doubted whether it even existed. "For Russia, the BM-25 is a mysterious missile," the summary says. "Russia does not think the BM-25 exists." They asked why North Korea would sell an untested missile; the Americans responded: for cash.
Both the Russians and Americans acknowledged the limitations of Iran's older, liquid-fueled missiles, based on the Soviet Scud and its modifications, including the Shahab-1, Shahab-2 and Shahab-3. Both sides also seemed to agree that the Safir is not a military threat because of the small size of the payload.
The key issue is Iran's pursuit of more modern and powerful solid-fuel missiles that could hit medium-range targets, such as those in the Middle East or Europe. Iran has been working on such a missile, called the Sajjil-2, which it has flight tested. (See my earlier post about it.) In the meeting, U.S. officials were more worried about this than the Russians, who said Iran continues to stumble with solid fuel technology. "In Russia's view, Iran appears to be having very serious problems with engine development," the summary says. U.S. officials countered that Iran has a decade of experience with short-range missiles using solid fuel, importing equipment from China, and could now extend it to larger missiles.
The Russians said Iran was a long way from building intercontinental ballistic missiles that could hit the United States. "Russia said its bottom line is that Iran lacks appropriate structural materials for long-range systems, such as high quality aluminum," the summary says. ."
At another point, the Russians said they think the North Koreans are working on a new, 100-ton capacity rocket engine using older technology, clustering the motors or stacking them. But Russia said the technology hasn't been actually spotted.

CRS: U.S. Occupation of Iraq? Issues Raised by Experiences in Japan and Germany, January of Iraq? Issues Raised by Experiences in Japan and Germany
CRS report number: RS21404
Author(s): Nina M. Serafino, Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division
Date: January 30, 2003
- Abstract
- This report provides background on the U.S. occupation experiences in Japan and Germany after World War II, and discusses four sets of factors from this period that could be relevant to a possible U.S. occupation of Iraq. These are: acceptance of U.S. goals; homogeneity of the occupied populations; ability to manage their own affairs; and international legitimacy and support.

Ivory Coast toxic dumping report behind secret Guardian gag
From WikiLeaks
Tuesday October 13, 2009
Julian Assange (WikiLeaks investigations editor)
A confidential report releaed by WikiLeaks into the dumping of toxic waste along the Ivory Coast, has seen an extraordinary gag order served on the UK media. The order gags the press from reporting a parliamentry question and answer.
Here's the Guardian's David Leigh in an article first published on Monday night before hitting the front page on Tuesday:
-.
In effect, the communication between parliament and the people has been muzzled.
Here is the parliamentry question the Guardian can't tell you about (the Commons' member concerned, Paul Farrelly MP, was a former editor for the Guardian's sister newspaper the Observer):
- Ivory Coast dumping mentioned, by multi-national oil and commodities trader Trafigura, is possibly the most culpable environmental disaster since thousands were killed in the Bhopal chemical spill.
What this gags order aims at is preventing the mention of Trafigura and Minton in the same context. The Minton report was released by WikiLeaks on September 14, 2009. Despite this and some rock solid work by Guardian investigations editor David Leigh and other journalists on the boader Trafigura contamination, the Minton report released by WikiLeaks was not named in the UK press, nor were its contents report. Why? Because of the earlier secret 11 September 2009 media injuction against the report, as referred to by Paul Farrelly MP. To-date the UK public has been kept in the dark about the Minton report and its contents. Paul Farrelly's question is an attempt to take on the suppression issue. In the process it connected the Minton report on WikiLeaks to Trafigura, something the UK media has been secretly ordered not to do.
Statements made in parliament, including those of Paul Farrelly MP, traditionally enjoy an absolute exemption from molestation by the regular judiciary. Parliament does not, insomuch as it believes itself to be an expression of the national will, subordinate itself to any other court.
Knowing this, lawyers for Trafigura, Carter-Ruck, told the Guardian that the order covered reporting of Paul Farrelly MP's questions. That Carter Ruck felt this claim was makable is a bold and dangerous move towards the total privatization of censorship. Is a multi-billion pound commodities trader a truer expression of the national will than the House of Commons? The question is no longer rhetorical.
The Commons' gag and the September 11 gag are not the only issues. The London Independent has removed from its site, without explanation, its September 17 investigative article on the issue "Toxic shame: Thousands injured in African city". As for other papers, no one has any idea, because it is the habit now in the UK to secretly remove articles from newspaper archives and their indexes.

San Anselmo [1] is in Marin County in the San Francisco Bay Area of California. It's bordered on the south side by Ross, and the west side by Fairfax
San Anselmo is accessible by automobile, bicycle, and is a hub for Golden Gate Transit bus service.
Lots of shopping.
Whyte's Booksmith is a great little bookstore which can order books more quickly and conveniently than those big internet retailers.
Two bicycle shops.
San Anselmo Coffee Roasters has coffee drinks, sandwiches, salads, occasional live music in the mornings, and is a hang-out for many local bicycling enthusiasts.
Insalata's is tasty and established.

17 year old was arrested in Riviera Beach, Florida, for exposing 4 inches of boxer shorts, due to wearing loose fitting jeans, and spent the night in jail.
Now, I was raised at a time when, as a kid, I had to wear a collar and tie if we went to visit relatives, especially on a Sunday. I can clearly remember my father complaining when someone came into our local community club on a Sunday wearing jeans. However, having to dress up when going out with family members or having a club dress code is completely different to telling a citizen going about their business how they can and can’t dress.
Personally, I think the saggy jeans look untidy, slovenly, and well, crap. I also think that baseball caps worn backwards look stupid too. However, it should be everyone’s right to dress however they darn well please, as long as they are not exposing themselves.
Talking of which, it seems it’s OK for upskirt photographs of celebrities wearing NO underwear to be flashed (pun intended) around the world, but not OK to show underwear itself.
Oh, it’s not only the backwaters that are looking at such silly ideas either. Dallas, TX, and Atlanta, GA, are also considering similar proposals.
What’s next? No sunglasses after dark? No shirts carrying logos of foreign companies? Where does it end?

Keeping your kids safer online can be complicated, but Windows Live Family Safety helps make it easier for you. Family Safety provides a website
and a free program
that you install on the PCs your kids use, so you can give them some independence but still keep tabs on their computer activities.
Here are some of the ways Family Safety helps you keep your kids safer:
Web filtering—Control the categories of websites your kids can view, or specify individual sites they may or may not access. SafeSearch is turned on for popular search sites such as Bing, Yahoo!, and Google.
Activity reports—Get reports on your kids' computer use: the websites your kids have visited or tried to visit, time spent on computers, and the games and programs they've used.
Time restrictions—Limit the amount of time your kids use the computer, and specify the times of day they can use it.
Game restrictions—Limit the games your kids can play.
Program restrictions—Limit the programs your kids can run.
The different players in Family Safety and Windows make up a team that works together:
The Family Safety Filter. Software you install and set up on each computer your kids use. It monitors your kids using safety settings you select.
The Family Safety website. A central online location where you choose and manage all the settings for each family member and view their activity reports. You create settings on the website once and they apply to every computer you installed the Family Safety Filter on.
Windows Parental Controls. A feature in Windows that's turned on when you use Family Safety. You can use Windows Parental Controls to set up more safety settings for your kids' computers. For more information on setting up Windows Parental Controls and Family Safety, watch the
video about using Parental Controls.
When you set up Family Safety for the first time, you'll be asked to sign in with a parent or guardian's Microsoft account. This person will be the primary parent in Family Safety, and is the only family member who can remove the family from Family Safety. Be sure to use the Microsoft account of the parent or guardian you want to be the primary parent because you won't be able to change it later.
Here's how to set up the Family Safety Filter:
-or-
Go to the Family Safety download page, and then click Download. Follow the on-screen instructions to download and install Family Safety.
Enter the Microsoft account email address and password of the parent you want to be the primary parent, and then click Sign in.
To set up the Family Safety Filter and to use the Family Safety website, you'll need a Microsoft account. If you don't have a Microsoft account, you can create one when you set up the Family Safety Filter. (A Microsoft account is an email address you use, along with your password, to sign in to Microsoft services such as Outlook.com, SkyDrive, and Xbox LIVE).
Select the check box next to the Windows account of each family member you want to monitor on that computer, and then click Next or Save.
If you want to monitor someone who doesn't have a Windows account, click Create a new Windows account, enter the person's name, and then click Create account.
Each member of your family should have their own Windows account and safety settings. If everyone in your family uses the same Windows account, you'll all use the same Family Safety settings. You won't be able to get reports of which website each child's looking at.
If you haven't used Family Safety before, you can skip this step. If you already use Family Safety, you'll see a screen where you need to match each Windows account to a name on the Family Safety members list. but be listed in the Family Safety members list as Ben Miller. By matching the accounts, you tell Family Safety that this is the same person.
If there's a Windows account on the computer for someone who hasn't used Family Safety before, you'll see them at the bottom of the list. When you click Add (person's name), Family Safety creates a new Family Safety membership for them with their Windows account name.
It's important that all of your Windows accounts have passwords. If you have an account without a password, your kids could log on to that account and bypass their Family Safety settings.
If the Windows accounts you're setting up to monitor don't have passwords, click Add passwords.
If you have guest accounts on your computer, you should turn them off because kids can also use them to bypass safety settings.
Click Next and you'll see the Windows accounts that Family Safety is now monitoring on the computer.
By setting up the Family Safety Filter, you've got a good start on protecting your kids. Going to the Family Safety website to tweak their settings gives you more control over web filtering and other settings. With the Family Safety Filter set up for the first time, your children will be monitored with Basic web filtering. This means that Family Safety only blocks adult content and anonymizer websites (websites that let kids view other websites anonymously so that Family Safety doesn't see their activity).
To make it harder for your kids to see the things you don't want them to see, you can go to the Family Safety website and change their settings, starting with the web filtering level. For younger kids, we recommend setting the web filtering level to Strict so that little ones can only see websites that are child-friendly.
On any computer, sign in to the Family Safety website with a parent's Microsoft account email address and password.
Under the name of the child you want to adjust settings for, click Edit settings.
On your child's settings page, you can see an overview of their current settings and choose what you want to adjust.
Busy parents don't always have time to surf the web and check out all the websites their kids might see. To make things easier, the Family Safety team reviews thousands of websites and assigns them to categories. The web filtering level you choose for your kids determines which of these categories they can view.
If you want to pick your own categories instead of using the preset levels, choose Custom. You'll see a list of all the categories, and then you can choose what's right for your kids. Under Web filtering, you can also make a list of blocked websites or allowed websites that will override the categories and filtering levels.
Click Web filtering, select Turn on web filtering, and then select a web filtering level:
Select Strict to block all websites that aren't child-friendly or on the Allow list (the list of websites that you've specifically allowed).
Select Custom to allow and block website categories manually. To allow a website category, select its check box. To block a website category, clear its check box.
Click Save.
If you want your child to use the Strict filtering level so they only see child-friendly websites, but you'd like to let them see a certain website that's blocked, you can add the website to their Allow list. Or, if you want to block a website that's allowed by their web filtering level, you can add it to their Block list.
Under Allow or block a website, type or paste the web address of the website that you want to allow or block.
Select an option from the list, and then click Add.
“The website I want to see is blocked!"
After you've set up Family Safety, when your child logs on to their Windows account to use the computer, and they try to go to a website that's blocked, they'll see a page like this:
If you're not available when your child is blocked from viewing a website, they can email you a request to see the blocked site. You can open the Family Safety website right from the email to approve or deny the request right away. Once you're done, let your child know if the website they wanted to see is now unblocked.
On any computer, sign in to the Family Safety website with your Microsoft account email address and password.
On the Family summary page, under Requests, click (number) requests.
To show any comments your child added, click the arrow next to the web address.
Click the arrow next to Select a response, and then click Approve for this account only, Approve for all accounts, or Deny.
When you're done responding to requests, click Save.
"What websites can I see?"
The Family Safety Kids' Sites website is a great place for young children to start on the web. The website has links to the most popular of the more than 8,000 websites Microsoft has categorized as child-friendly. There's also a Search these sites box where kids can search only those websites that are child-friendly instead of the whole Internet. To make it easier for your kids to find child-friendly websites, you can set your web browser's home page to the Family Safety Kids' Sites website..
To monitor what your kids are doing on their computers, turn on activity reporting. The Family Safety Filter will then keep track of what your kids do and save the information on the Family Safety website for you to look at.
On the Family summary page, click View activity report next to the name of the child you want to turn activity reporting on for.
Select Turn on activity monitoring.
After you've been using Family Safety for a while, Windows-update.
For more information about how to help protect yourself and your family online, see Online safety information for parents and kids. Check out the various links on that page, and share Internet safety tips and habits with your kids.

Wine Recommendation
Osprey's Dominion Vineyards2005 Vin Gris Rosé of Cabernet Sauvignon
(North Fork of Long Island)
My love of local rosé – especially this time of year – isn't news. I'm always ready to introduce non-believers to the delicious versatility that is dry rosé.
But, as with many wines in many regions, there is a seemingly endless array of styles of local rosé on Long Island. You've got your sweet, flabby versions that taste more like Koolaid than anything made with wine grapes. You've got fresh, clean, crisp wines that are just awesome on a hot summer day or with a picnic lunch. And of course there's everything in between too.
This rosé, made with Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, is a nice example of a drier style but I don't think it's bone dry. There might be some residual sugar here.
Ripe berry flavors come through on the nose, including sweet strawberries, raspberries and just a little bit of cherries. There is an almost-buttery note too that is really interesting – maybe the result of some malolactic fermentation. Fruity and a little more round on the mid-palate than many local bottlings, this rosé is medium bodied and has a similar flavor profile – with the addition of some watermelon and a minty note on the finish.
People have been telling me lately that good, fuller-bodied rosé can stand up to steak. I'm not sure about that, but if any rosé could, this might be the one. For me, it seems best served with spicy-sweet barbecued chicken.

As the newest print in our home suggests, we are so happy to be back in our home sweet sunshine state! In the two months since I have posted last, we have busy little bees: a cross country move, traveling, visiting with family, and tackling our first round of many makeover sessions for Miss Shania. In the next few days, I'll give you a virtual tour of the progress we've made on our home, so stick with me, I promise I'll finally get to it! All I can say is that we are loving being home owners and loving being in Jacksonville even more.
Since I'm not quite ready to take you on the tour yet, I thought I'd introduce you to the newest addition to our family and a related craft project!
First things first: We rescued another dog! His name is Rigby, and he's a chihuahua/ terrier mix. He's a year and a half old and weighs in at only 13 pounds. After a short two weeks, he's already part of the family and loves his new home. Rigby gets along great with Lucy, our four year old Australian cattle dog (Rigby and Lucy. Yep, we like The Beatles. Who doesn't?). He adores and protects Everett. He's quite the mama's boy. He's house trained, potty trained, and well behaved. And I'm happy on all accounts!
Here's a picture of Lucy and Rigby snuggling. They love to find sunny spots on the carpet together. I swear, this isn't posed. They're already best friends!
I have to say though, our home was already very well balanced before bringing home another dog, and I'd be lying if we said we weren't skeptical. Lucky for us, he's fantastic. I can't tell you how relieved we are that he's doing so well! Although, since he is already very protective of us and his new home, he is having some issues with the heavy foot traffic in our neighborhood. He's getting better, but his occasional discontempt for dog walkers and school children is nothing compared to how he feels, and sounds, when someone comes to the door. When Lucy joins in, it's definitely a nap and bed time ruiner for poor Everett (and poor mama). The other night when the UPS man rang the doorbell after bed time AGAIN, I thought maybe I could get crafty and help our new little fella out.
Here's where the new puppy related craft comes in! I decided that with all this barking, I wanted a message for our door. I wanted it to be cute and clever, but most importantly I wanted it to ward of unwelcome guests while Everett is sleeping. I also wanted it to be a subtle hint for the UPS and FedEx guys with their incredibly persistent knocking. So I came up with this: "Please don't knock or ring the doorbell. The dogs will bark and mama will bite." What do you think? Did I find a happy medium between: "beware of dog," and, "this house is protected by the good Lord and a gun?" I realize this officially makes us the least neighborly folks on the block, but heck, I don't care... I just hope it works!
Just right click, save, and print away. Of course, just don't pass it off as your own and we're alllllll goooood. =)
***UPDATE***
So I feel like the worlds biggest dummy. Not everyone in my boat has multiple dogs. Here's a new printable to correct that for all of you one-dog people! Enjoy!
If you have a cat that barks and wakes up your baby, I think you may have bigger problems, my friend...
Thanks for sticking with me. I'm so glad to be back and we really do have so much to catch up on! Stay tuned and I'll have all kinds of home updates, how to redecorate on the cheap, and even some carpentry projects. Get excited!
I'm excited! I think you and Andrew could teach Bo and I a few things...you guys are A.M.A.Z.I.N.G homemakers!
Awww, Thanks Ally!!!
Can't wait to see your house!

Microsoft may have halted support for uploading new Windows Gadgets to its Desktop Gadgets web site, but the gadgets are still there and a third party, Thoosje, has stepped in to pick up the slack. Best bet: the Thoosje gadget pack.
You have two choices to make: ARM or Intel-compatible (admittedly not an easy decision). If you pick ARM, it's just device choices. If you pick Intel, you have only two software versions to choose from. Just like XP!
MS has hidden it pretty darn well, but there is a public-facing wiki that shows what new features MS is adding to Office 365 every month (for both P and E customers)

[...] course I don’t accept every jot and tittle of what the man says; but I wanted to point you to this Single Christian man’s blog, and in particular this post. Enjoy at your leisure while ‘net [...]
Hello, My name is Mary. I find that when I feel very frustrated with others and that they are not “living up to the standards of Christ” God gently says to me…”I don’t want to talk about them, I want to talk about you…..you and me.” He asks me if I am sinnless so that I can cast stones. With bitter tears and anquish I cried out to God saying ” Men have cheatted on me, given me diseases that are incurable, beaten me, choked me, mentally abused me, held me hostage in cars, taken my only son from me, raped me, abandoned me in the street with nothing but the clothes on my back; after they coerced me into quiting my job to help raise their daughters that i loved as my own flesh and blood. They never even said they were sorry!!! They never cared for me at all…I was just a tool.” God’s response to me was “read 1Corinthians 13. Have you truely been loving by my standards. Have you been kind? Have you had no record of wrongs….” As I read the scripture I truely began to weep, for I saw the depth of my sin against God and man. I realized the issue was never what men were or weren’t doing for me. My real problem….was in fact always me.” Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your mind. this is the first and greatest commandment. The second is like unto it. Love your neighbor as yourself. This sums up the Law and the prophets.” I’ve stopped asking where all of the Christian men are. I just hope that God will help me be the woman I should be. I figure when God finds me loving enough he will send me the person he has for me. I’m just not ready yet…:)
many blessings to you in your walk with Christ.
I think it is fine to try and steer your kids in to these fields, but there is no guarantee they are going to have that bent. Also, there is no guarantee you will have 4 kids or any kids. I think it is fine to aspire to these kinds of plans, but ultimately God will direct your life and your kids’ lives.
My husband and I are both in math/technical fields. We have six children. Two show aptitude for math, two are disabled, two show aptitude in other things. Life doesn’t always turn out the way you plan/expect.
Just an little opinion — I don’t know a woman (godly or otherwise –especially one who has never had kids) who wouldn’t be intimidated by your whole ‘plan’. It sounds like micro-managing, and not a “we’re building this together”, more of a “this is what *I* want to do, are you on board” type of thing. Hardly welcoming words to a potential wife. From reading your posts, you seem to have good, Godly intentions, but perhaps need to soften your expectations to James 4:13-15. It’s good to have a big picture idea of how you want your life to go, but realize you may need to be flexible when God changes the details. Prov. 16:9
Keep up the good posts. I read this blog pretty often.
Good words.
“The reason why men work is so that they are the sole or primary breadwinners – so that they have the authority to make decisions and lead in the home.”
I would disagree that men have the authority to make decisions for the family BECAUSE they are the primary bread-winners. That would suggest that if a woman happens to make more money than her husband, she is therefore the head of the household. Yet a man can make less than his wife and still lead the family. Further, God has set up the family such that the man is to be the spiritual and moral leader, regardless of his paycheck.
So I would say that the man is to be the spiritual head of the household per God’s design. I believe a man should also, ideally, be the primary breadwinner. However, he need not think that if he makes less money he must therefore give up control to his wife. Making money does not make one a spiritual leader. However, a man who is leading his family will also be providing for them financially.
Hi Lindsey – thank you for the rather insightful reply.
Mind if I ask what OT/NT scripture do you have to support what you have written ?
Btw, you might want to take give the story of David & Abigail as well as the Levitical law of what the role of a husband is as well as a wife. Please feel free to reference NT as well.
Allow me to suggest that if a man is the spiritual leader – then the provider is G_D no matter what where the income / provision comes from.
In addition, the head/strength of Christ is the Father, the head/strength of the man is Christ, the head/strength of the woman is man, and the head/strengt of the children is the woman.
It is not about power nor inferiority nor inequality but about role, function, and order.
Shalom
I agree that it’s about role and responsibilities, not power or inequality. I believe the Bible has given the role of the man as being the spiritual leader of the home. Thus, that is a role that God has set up, not simply a consequence of making the most money. If “money makes right,” then whoever makes the most money is the boss, whether that’s the man, the woman, or one of the kids. But that isn’t what God says about the family. God says that the woman is to submit to her husband, that husbands are to love their wives and lead their families, and that children are to obey their parents (Ephesians 5 & 6, Titus 2, etc). I see no caveat for when someone makes more money than the father.
One thing from Scripture that can shed some light on this topic is the Proverbs 31 Woman. She buys a field, plants a vineyard, and sells merchandise. Yet she does all this from home while running the household and so that her husband can become a leader in the community (he sits at the gate with the elders). We aren’t told who brings more income into the family…because it doesn’t matter. The roles wouldn’t change.
The point is that women can contribute to the family income, but the husband is still the leader of the home. The dollar amount that each brings in is irrelevant. It is the man’s responsibility to see that the family is provided for. Even if he currently makes less money, he should realize that if circumstances change and she can’t work, he must make ends meet because that is his duty. It just isn’t the woman’s reposibility to earn the income like it is for the man. It is the woman’s job to see to the running of the house and care for the children (especially young children). It’s not that a man can never do dishes or sweep the floors, but it isn’t his responsibility to make sure it gets done like it is the woman’s. If a woman can earn some money while still fulfilling her role, good for her. But her primary responsibility of running the house and caring for the children must come first.
One thing that often causes conflict in marriages is when the woman earns an income and believes that it therefore entitles her to usurp the role of her husband as leader. Realizing that money does not confer a right to lead is the first step to avoiding that problem. It is also useful to realize that husband and wife become one when they marry, meaning that there can be no “yours” and “mine” with their possessions. Whoever makes the money, it becomes both of theirs equally.
I think you have to add that you cannot marry Democrat women. It’s not enough that they are Christian. That really means nothing, since that could mean anything. As this election showed, they are incapable of thinking about their family, or the perspective of men. They overwhelmingly chose to back candidates that are statists. To marry one would be to undermine your family and everything you work for.
Wait till you see tomorrow’s 10 AM post. My meanest post yet against single women, based on exit polling data and what we know about Obama’s policies.
I’m intrigued. With your help, I’ll be able to alienate all my liberal friends.
It works for me! I have lots more free time to play Combat Mission: Battle for Normandy and Memoir 44.
Against all single women, or just those who think that their sex life is more important than the health of the nation?
Just the ones that think that their sex lives are more important than the nation AND the children.
You, sir, seem to have a knack for attracting the wrong type of women.
Like attracts like, wouldn’t you agree? The content in this post is throuroughly disgraceful to women, and puts Christian men to shame. Thank you for emphasizing the gospel of Christ, by the way. Since there was no mention of that, I assume that that is not a criteria for you: to have a Christian woman who has been washed and restored by the good news of Jesus. I promise you, you will know a God-fearing woman by her love and obedience to the Savior who died for her.
Also, God is glorified just as beautifully through dance, painting, writing, and working in a top law firm. It is not a matter of money and separation from a culture that is in desparate need of the gospel and Jesus, it is a matter of the saints’ hearts as they further God’s Kingdom via the gifts and abilities and talents that God has endowed to all His children.
THAT is what those women are most likely trying to articulate. It does not matter WHAT my children pursue, as long as they seek to glorify God, and run hard after Him with all of their hearts, minds, and strengths NO MATTER what those strengths may be.
Think on that.
Sincerely,
A Christian woman
I think that for many women, happiness and ease are more important than serving God effectively. My courting practices are designed to detect women who put their own happiness and ease above serving God effectively. I detect women who are informed and who want to do what works. The others I leave behind.
Your goals for your kids are wrong-headed. Simply pray and fast every day that you kids follow God’s path. Nothing more, nothing less.
What if God called one of your kids to be a missionary somewhere far away, who gets no name recognition, slaves with his family serving people far away and dies there to no publicity?
What if God wanted one of your children to be a prodigal? To serve as an example to his/her siblings? Only to find the true taste of grace later in life? And here is the rub … to serve as a rebuke to your “lawful” other children who haven’t tasted grace yet?
Yes, my courtship process is designed to detect people who hold your view so that I can reject them. I would not sacrifice $250,000 per child so that someone who wants to float aimlessly through life can play house using my money. That’s not what marriage is for. Marriage is to serve God, not the woman’s feelings.
.”
This paragraph is strongly exaggerated. Women who tell you they don’t mind your daughter being a ballet dancer are simply saying that God can use all people in whatever profession they choose. They are not *denying* you anything except the right to make all the rules without their input. If you reread that paragraph through a woman’s eyes, you should see why it upsets my friends.
You come across as regarding any sort of differing opinion on your decisions as denying you the right to make those decisions. You seem to want to run a dictatorship. I don’t know any woman who would go for that. It’s scary.
I’ve only responded to the parts of the post that I’ve read.
“Women who tell you they don’t mind your daughter being a ballet dancer are simply saying that God can use all people in whatever profession they choose. ”
I think that this is a very popular view among Christian women – they are taught things like this by pastors and in Christian literature. And what I am saying is that I am not going to sacrifice half a million dollars on two kids who will be influenced by this viewpoint. My objective in courting women is to detect this view and then reject the person who holds it. And I do this because I want to serve God more, not less.
Anyone who says “God can use people equally no matter what they do” is immediately disqualified as a wife and mother, in much the same way as I would disqualify someone who supported abortion or gay marriage. They are unfit for the roles of wife and mother. They aren’t serious about making the marriage count for God, but instead are thinking of escaping from obligations and feeling happy. They want the marriage to serve the woman, and not God.
Watch your qualifiers, WK. I didn’t say that God can use all people *equally* regardless of their profession. I simply said that He can use them. So a child who is a ballet dancer is not automatically a waste. She might not lead as many people to Christ as Craig, but not every body can be the hands. She will be useful nonetheless.
I wouldn’t recommend the profession, but it is not the worst thing in the world if your daughter wants it.
The most important problem with your words is not your view of dancing, but the tone in whoch it is said. Remember, being a leader requires you to understand the views of the other person and care enough to allow them input in the decision making process.
I added that to be contrary, but I do apologize for doing so. I knew I was being mean when I did it, but I thought “it’s fun to be mean to Tracy, this will teach her a lesson”.
Anyway, here’s the deal. I am male. Being male means that you have a goal of making sure that your children can make their way in the world when you are gone and in the ground. I am looking for a wife who understands what men want for their children. Most Christian women are very impractical and emotional, and they do not recognize or respect this need/goal that men have. It is important for me, given the massive tax rates, government regulations on families and parenting, cost of raising a child, etc., that at least my wife thinks that my needs and values and leadership are important. Am I making sense here?
You’re making a lot of sense but I need one thing to be clarified. By “It is important for me… that at least my wife thinks that my needs and values and leadership are important.” do you mean that she accept unconditionally your plans for her and her children? What exactly would you accept as evidence of her regard for you?
Also, perhaps you should consider being less assertive about your plans. Like I said before, they’re not just intimidating. They’re right out scary. Instead of saying “My wife must do this, this and that and my children must do that or else…” Try being more suggestive. Say “Would it not be better for our children if they had a better income than ballet provides?” or “Why are you opposed to leading our children towards cosmology”.
That’s kinder and gentler – things you need as a leader.
Meh. I offer a lot. If women want to settle for less, let them. We just had an election where 67% of unmarried women voted for free birth control pills and free abortions and gay marriage. I realize most single women don’t want to be led by a man, even if they choose him. They don’t want to respect a man. That’s fine – I can just avoid marrying women who don’t want to be led. I am understanding a lot about single women from these elections. They don’t want to be led by a man, they want men to pay for their birth control pills and abortions and they want children to be raised by single mothers and gay couples. When I meet a single woman, I assume that she holds those views, even if she denies it. And I won’t believe that she doesn’t hold those views until I see the evidence of it in her record and actions. There is a two-thirds chance that a single woman thinks that it is OK to abort a child because it is the wrong sex – and that I should have to pay for it. That’s what most single women are really like. That’s what they want. That’s what they believe. And if I am going to get married, I have to make sure that I don’t marry that.
I think it is interesting that almost no women hold other women accountable for these sorts of views. Instead, I am told by everyone that I need to change, and lower my standards. I am the one who has to change. I am the one who has to just go ahead and get married to make a woman who has no respect for me happy.
Right. With that attitude, you’re going to drive away the good women along with the bad ones. You do know why gentleness is important, right?
Wintery,
I agree with much of your assessment of single women these days. However, I would like to point out a few things about good women which I hope you know, and if you don’t sit up and pay attention.
While you no doubt would bring much to the marriage table (espcially financially, if I understand you correctly), there are things a women looks for (yes, good women too) besides money and Christian character and knowledge. A woman needs to feel safe with the man she marries. Safe from outsiders who would hurt her, yes. But more importantly, she needs to feel that her heart is safe, that it will be treasured and protected. She needs a man to listen to her and still love her, even if he disagrees with her. It is one of the deepest needs for a woman to feel cherished by her man. It’s like respect is to men. Men need to feel respected in order to feel love. Women need to feel safe and protected emotionally in order to feel loved. We women do have more fragile emotions and that’s a design that God planned for us. It makes us better nurturers. Not all women are slaves to their emotions, but all of us have more sensitive emotions than the average man and we need to know that our opinions, fears, and insecurities will be listened to, taken seriously, and that none of this will cause our husband to reject, belittle, or look down on us. Until that deepest need of our hearts is met, we care little for money or other assets that a man may have. Just as you would never marry a woman who had all the right attributes, but failed to respect you, no good woman will marry a man who has all the right attributes, but fails to make her feel cherished.
With that in mind, consider developing (and demonstrating to potential wives) the trait of gentleness. There may be a lot of bad women, but there are also many women out there who would be thrilled to find a strong Christian man capable of leading and providing for a family. But they will fear to submit to a man whose idea of leadership is to become a mini-dictator (or who they think may tend in that direction). A real leader inspires confidence by proving himself capable to make good decisions AND by proving the ability to properly care for those who follow him. Proving the latter (with regard to marriage) includes demonstrating gentleness and the ability to protect a woman’s more fragile emotions.
The thing is, a person doesn’t have to do amazing things for God with their job. They can always do amazing things in their private life. As just one example, I am pretty sure that Wintery Knight doesn’t make much money off this blog. But Wintery, if you don’t want your money spent on unproductive pursuits then just set it aside in an account separate from all marriage funds, and tell your wife and kids that they can only have it under the conditions you set. If they want poetry, fine, but they just can’t have any of your stash.
Drew, I think that is a very good compromise. The thing is that there are competent Christians who need help now to achieve rally good goals, and so I don’t want to get involved in a marriage that is going to take away from being able to help with that.
I think it’s hard enough for any given Christian man to find a woman who believes in Jesus, is reasonably good-looking, is sexually undefiled, and does not vote for abortion or socialism. I personally think that it is unwise to pile a bunch of extra conditions on top of all that. Regardless of what you or your potential wife want, you can’t really force a child to take your precise path. Generally, I think it’s hard enough just to make sure they get high grades, stay off drugs, don’t delve into any dumb ideas like Calvinism or socialism, etc.
You can always set standards for your children and lead them to obey God, but at the end of the day, their steps are ordered by the Lord, and not their earthly father. Teaching children to obey God in all things is paramount; setting up specific paths that you’ve determined are best for them (before they’re even born! and before you know whether they have the aptitude for them) is not.
Also, it’s for God to determine how best someone glorifies Him; and it’s not for us to decide that a person in one vocation is more important than a person in another. That is certainly not a godly or Scriptural perspective, and I’m not trying to be harsh, but such an idea certainly did not come from God. This is why Jesus said that the last will be first and the first will be last. If someone becomes a gardener and lives a truly holy life, sharing the Gospel, and serving others, no one is to come behind and say that their life has not been as significant as someone who is a banker or a lawyer.
Many parents who decide to order every aspect of their children’s lives discover that it can often create rebellion and actually denigrate the children’s respect for them rather than grow it. Moreover, if you disparage what is a passion of your children’s (say, creative writing), it will only breed resentment. So, that’s a gentle caution.
I would have to ask, What do you think a woman as such brings to the table? You’ve said that you have a lot to offer. But certainly the Lord created women with unique gifts that you as a man do not have. Is it possible that you might have something to learn from women who question your stances on certain things? Leadership is about taking the initiative, not assuming that you’re always 100% correct.
I would imagine that for a thinking woman, you might easily insult her intelligence by assuming that if she doesn’t see things your way, that she must be unlearned. Just as an occasional passerby, I can guarantee that I’m very familiar with pretty much all of the subjects you mention; but that doesn’t mean that I agree with every conclusion that you draw. Clearly individuals who marry have to be compatible values-wise, but if what you want is a thinking, reflective woman, then you’ll have to be prepared for the possibility that she is not going to see it your way all the time, and not lose respect for her because of it, or feel like simply by exercising independent thought that she’s threatening your leadership.
All your comment shows is how some women express their desire to not respect husbands or submit to husbands in mystical religious language. What you really mean is this “I don’t want to do what a man says no matter how much more he knows, because my emotions are more important than truth or knowledge.” What you mean by saying that “God only knows X” is that I don’t know. And because I don’t know, I shouldn’t be able to set goals or have any authority to lead. Nor should I be allowed to prefer a woman who accepts my authority to lead above one who refuses to accept my authority to lead. That’s the bottom line.
It’s not that you have a better plan to produce influential children that you want to convince me of, and arguments and evidence to persuade me that your goals are more influential. It’s that you want to deny my plan and substitute NO PLAN, and then invoke God in order to establish that. You want children to do whatever they want and say that whatever they want to do is as influential and effective as what I want them to do. Because you think that I don’t know anything about what the church needs, what the university needs, and what the public square needs, and that I have no right to lead my children to be influential in those areas for the Lord’s sake. And you think that a child who focuses on creative writing (writing fiction!) will be as influential and prosperous as one who focuses on petroleum engineering or economics or experimental science. And you dress up your desire to substitute your agenda for mine in religious language by saying that your view is God’s will and mine isn’t.
Regarding your comment that you know about the things that I would ask about. In my experience, people who say that have not been able to answer the most basic questions that I ask about. So we are at a stalemate. You think that you could answer me, and I think you couldn’t. The only way to find out is for me to ask you specific questions in a situation where you have to answer without looking anything up online or in your library. But I assert that that in my experience, the vast majority of Christian women I have met are reading Harry Potter and C.S. Lewis and Stephanie Meyer and not Stephen Meyer and Thomas Sowell and William Lane Craig. And I mean 99.99% of Christian women.
Wintery! Your whole response caricatures her arguments. Are you being deliberately uncharitable or is something else wrong?
Her point about causing children to rebel I definitely agree with. I doubt that your style would cause them all to rebel, but probably a percentage of them. So you would need to have at least one extra kid, to take into account that at least one of them is going to start smoking pot and get into ballet dancing or something.
LOL! Don’t worry, if I am really trying to influence someone, I am good at getting results. Setting up boundaries has to be tough, and then when you are doing 1-to-1 mentoring, it’s soft and gentle.
Sorry for the late interruption, I was just wondering, because this is what I perceive from the sentence “the vast majority of Christian women I have met are reading … C.S. Lewis …and not Stephen Meyer and Thomas Sowell and William Lane Craig.”, but do you believe that C.S. Lewis was not an effective/serious apologist/philosopher/academic?
It depends which book you’re reading. A lot of his stuff like Narnia and Mere Christianity is good for teens – to get them thinking. Miracles, The Abolition of Man, and the like are good for grown-ups.
Wintery, having read most of your replies on this comment thread, I keep noticing something. You are emphasizing over and over how these women won’t submit or respect you, etc., etc. I think you are also missing the other half of the picture — husbands are supposed to love their wives as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for it. Has it occurred to you that you may have to make some sacrifices? Or is it all about your plans for your and your kids’ future?
By no means am I suggesting marrying some woman who doesn’t respect you or share your goals — but in all this you seem to de-emphasize the nature of sacrificial love. It involves more than providing for your family financially. By all means have plans, but realize God may have different, better ones than you. If a woman objects to your ‘plan’ it doesn’t mean she is being emotional and not using her brain. Jesus used all kinds of people to glorify Himself: scribes, tentmakers, fisherman, tax collectors, writers, philosophers, bakers, kings, slaves, etc. Colossians 3:17 comes to mind.
I think I’d be more interested in a woman reading her BIble faithfully than reading William Lane Craig *or* CS Lewis (or any any of the others) Clearly, you are frustrated by not meeting (yet) the woman you have in mind. Be sure you are taking time to examine yourself as well — being a good Godly husband involves more than being a good provider or a good planner. You also need to be cultivating the fruit of the Spirit in your life, not just accumulating knowledge for good theological arguments. Gentleness is just as important as self-control. Good luck, and I will be praying for you.
What I’ve learned is that life can mess up one’s best-laid plans. I live with a number of shattered hopes and dreams, despite much prayer.
About careers: We encouraged our sons to follow study and career paths that matched their abilities and their interests, so they wouldn’t be stuck in a career they’d find they hate. One son is ADHD and non-academic, so he pursued a technical qualification. Not everyone is geared to be an academic and a professional.
Since I came to know the Lord after our sons were born, and my husband is an atheist, I ended up being the moral and spiritual leader and trainer in the home. Once our sons reached their teens, they were not so receptive, so I prayed for them and trusted also that the foundations I’d sown into their lives would remain firm. I used to play Focus on the Family, apologetics and sermon/ Bible-teaching tapes in the car, so they still got some input in addition to church. They are now in their mid- to late 20s. Despite all my moral and spiritual input and prayer, one turned away from the Lord when he left home and is now an anti-theist, one is lukewarm, and one, an introvert, has what one might call a quiet faith. The spiritually tepid ADHD one blames me, rather than their atheist father, for the apostasy of his brother, saying that I “pushed him too hard” (I happen to know there was a moral issue) and uses this against me when I try to encourage him to participate in e.g. a Bible study, since he’s never even read the Bible.
Therefore I continually pray for the Lord to work in my sons lives, to enable them to become the men they need to be in order to be godly husbands and fathers, and I am praying for the Lord to prepare a wife for each of them, a woman who knows and loves the Lord, who will be a good, loving wife and mother. Why do I have such “low” standards, you would say? I grew up with a manipulative, bitter and controlling mother who loved me conditionally, so my home background was toxic. My dream was to have a loving, happy family, which I’d never had, but this plan unravelled seriously when I started a family and my own long-buried issues manifested. I also learned I was not in control of my life, and (although I didn’t realise it at the time) the Lord used this situation to draw me to himself. The Lord had to deal with a lot of issues in my life after I came to know him. I also had an additional new desire, namely for my husband and sons to come to know and love the Lord wholeheartedly, but over 20 years down the line, this hasn’t happened. Let me tell you again, life does not turn out the way one would like it to.
One thing I would caution on, is to watch out for a spirit of domination and control, the “lord and master” syndrome. A good leader is not a controller, but rather inspires people to follow him, which is what Jesus did. I know enough women who’ve been married to domineering men who abused them emotionally. Because the Gospel often impacts the lives of those who have been hurt, the church is full of damaged people, especially men, from toxic backgrounds who have never faced, dealt with and found healing for their deep issues (which is why one also encounters the problem of spiritual abuse by some church leaders). It takes two emotionally and psychologically whole people to build a stable, loving marriage and family.
Just some food for thought…
Hi Wintry
Well, I don’t know where to start! Firstly I think your enthusiasm for following the Lord needs to be totally commended and I really do think that the passion and commitment you demonstrate towards Him should be and doubtless is demonstrated in every detail of your day to day life following Him in closeness and obedience, delighting in Him and submitting to His every nuance and wish, to the nth degree. I would really encourage you to do this, more and even more, as I know He will draw you closer and closer. I think this degree of closeness is even part of your calling from Him and I suggest you are not only called but also chosen. If you read John’s gospel chapters 14-17 carefully you will learn to find a deep communion with Him that is rarely found. I think you have the personality type to go really deep with God.
Secondly I can tell you that out there in your future will be the woman for you. Maybe not right now, but God will bring her along in His good time and you can rest in that assurance of His love for you. She is and will be your perfect mate, partner, helpmeet and friend and the only criteria I would dare to offer would be to try to marry someone who is closer to the Lord than you are, in your view.
Thirdly and slightly more controversially, don’t diss all women because you’ve chatted with a few. I don’t dismiss all men because I’ve met a few who I don’t agree with! I have been a Christian for 25 years or more, I have also got a 2.1 degree from Cambridge, England in Physics and Theoretical Physics and I have done a year in Kenya as a missionary. I could argue particle physics with you or help you run an Alpha course or debate the details of Daniel’s dreams or Paul’s prayers. I can speak in tongues or prophesy, I can calm down children or teach school physics, math or chemistry. I can get on with Americans, Chinese and Brits. I can get by in French, German and Swahili. I can listen to your dreams and then challenge you with the depths of His love for me, and incidentally also His immense love for you. I can show you the man Jesus in His brown skin, black hair and sparkling eyes, the man who wouldn’t be apparent in a crowd because there was nothing in Him to make us desire Him by His appearance. I can show you Him in His glory on the sea of ice above the four wheels within wheels and the living creatures of ox, eagle, lion and man. I can paint these for you or I can relate them to the Four Gospels and link this to your personality type.
Most of this I could have done before I was married (sorry I’m not available). The only question I asked about getting married was ‘who is the name in my heart, Lord?’, and I didn’t ask that of the man who was raising the questiony And I actually saw marriage in a rather uncomplimentary way at that time, as a type of dying to self because I would no longer be independent but part of some new whole and never a single one but only a half…leading to a lack of choice over my life…as I said, a kind of death, worked out daily. In the same way as I die daily in my life in Christ, so that I no longer live but Christ lives in me, so also I die that the new We might live together in oneness, in unity. I see it now as walking together in the Lord. If we disagree, we talk and pray until we are in agreement. If one of us pushes the other into something, it generally doesn’t work.
As I said, you have a gift of passion in your heart for The Lord, use that to walk His ways as closely as you can, waiting for the girl who is right for you and don’t assume anything except that it will be a fabulous adventure needing tons and tons of faith, love, mercy and grace! Enjoy the ride!
Blessings
Ambling Saint
Every woman in my church complains that there are no Christian men in the church. I attend a small church with under 100 people.
There are about twenty five of us guys who are single, and about twenty of us who have never been married. Most of us fall between the ages of 29-40.
Most of us have given up asking in church….first of all it makes us look like creeps, secondly….some of these women are not models of youth themselves, and lastly….we want a woman who puts God first.
None of us have seen that
.”
That’s it exactly.

An arcade game inspired by all time arcade classics with fast-paced action but a chilling and relaxing mood in which you, as a wisp god, use a firefly to guide your demi-god son through the dark woods in his effort to redeem the souls of the corrupted wisps that dwell there before the time runs out.
