Karl Rove headed to Steamboat
Republican strategist will be keynote speaker at Freedom Conference in August

Freedom Conference
For more information about the Steamboat Institute and the Freedom Conference, visit www.steamboatinstitute.org
Steamboat Springs Steamboat Institute co-founder Rick Akin finally landed the big fish he was after.
Akin confirmed Friday that influential Republican strategist and political analyst Karl Rove will be the keynote dinner speaker during August's Freedom Conference in Steamboat Springs.
"Reagan was a big fish, this is a much bigger fish," Akin said, comparing Michael Reagan's appearance at last year's inaugural Freedom Conference to the news about Rove. "Reservations have been coming in like crazy today. I would call that positive feedback."
Rove, as much a hero in conservative circles as he is a villain in liberal ones, was senior adviser and deputy chief of staff to President George W. Bush until his resignation late in Bush's second term. Rove is now a contributor to Fox News, The Wall Street Journal and Newsweek.
His lengthy career as a political strategist dates to the 1970s and took off during the successful election campaigns of, among others, former U.S. Sen. John Ashcroft and Bush's two Texas gubernatorial campaigns and presidential campaigns.
He's no stranger to controversy, having been named in a number of political scandals.
The Freedom Conference, sponsored and organized by the Steamboat Institute, is scheduled for Aug. 27 and 28 at The Steamboat Grand. The Steamboat Institute is a local conservative nonprofit organization that touts values of limited government, lower taxes, free markets, strong national defense, and individual rights and responsibilities.
This will be the second year of the Freedom Conference. Confirmed speakers include Rove; Virginia Thomas, founder of Liberty Central; Tony Blankley, a panelist on KCRW-Santa Monica radio show "Left, Right and Center;" Yaron Brook, president and executive director of the Ayn Rand Institute; Dan Mitchell, senior fellow at The Cato Institute; Peter Brookes, senior fellow for National Security Affairs and a fellow for Policy Studies with the Heritage Foundation; and Jason Mattera, author of "Obama Zombies: How the Liberal Machine Brainwashed My Generation."
Although landing Rove is significant for the Freedom Conference, Akin said he's just part of a bigger agenda.
"You have to have a few big-name speakers," Akin said. "Certainly Karl Rove and Virginia Thomas fit that bill. But that's not the primary motivation. I want people to hear people like Yoran Brook and Peter Brookes and Jason Mattera.
"We've got an array of people who can really convey a lot of information and help people understand things, but they're not necessarily the names that attract attendees and get them in the seats."
Registration for the full conference costs $250. People also can pay to attend only certain conference sessions. For example, Rove's dinner keynote at Thunderhead at the top of the ski area is $100. The cost includes dinner and the gondola ride, Akin said.
Last year's inaugural Freedom Conference included appearances by Grover Norquist, the president and founder of Americans for Tax Reform; Michael Reagan, conservative talk radio host and son of late President Ronald Reagan; and Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, R-Minn.
Akin said organizers of the Freedom Conference want it to be the conservative alternative to the Aspen Ideas Festival, going on this week.
"We're having a little more success in doing what we intended to do than we thought we would — or at least it's happening faster," Akin said. "Some of it is the tea party movement and the appetite for conservative speakers and Libertarian speakers."

YVB , S o which part of crimes against humanity do you not understand ?? this guy is in bed with Dumbya and Cheney ...as the orchestra leader of the worst presidency in history of the U.S.A. ... he's also is responible for the Valerie Plame outing and Setting up Scooter Libby as the fall guy knowing Dumbya would commute his sentence...that's treason my friend and corruption to the max
seeuski 2 years, 10 months ago
Where was freerider when the whole world new that Dick Armitage was the one who outed Plame? Libby was convicted for nothing and never was his sentence commuted. I guess the New Black Panthers/DOJ affair, the Sestak affair, the Romanoff affair, the Louisiana bribery, the Cornhusker Kickback, the taking of GM and on and on is OK with some. How else can one describe the WORST Presidency? We don't care about people who parade as something other then the left wingers they are and their code pink agenda.
Republicans are positioned to save the Constitution from the trash heap this Fall. Vote for the Socialists or vote for the Republicans, it's up to you.

Vote out all the incumbents on both sides. We could start by trying to find a few people who are not convicted felons and can figure out how to pay their taxes. The first guy that proposes that congress will have the same health care plan they are saying we need is the guy I'm voting for.
NamVet 2 years, 10 months ago
Democrats promise you what you don't want to hear like Health Care Reform, raising taxes on the top 1% etc. and then when elected do it anyway. Republicans tell you what you want to hear.like smaller gov't, lower taxes, balancing the budget etc. and when elected do the opposite. Since 1980 every Republican President has doubled or tripled the deficit and increased gov't spending by over 65%. When they take back the power which they will you can count on a war with Iran to make the Defense Contractors happy and Big Oil will get big tax breaks to repay them for the oil disaster in the Gulf with the taxpayers getting the bill.. The only difference between Democrats and Republicans is who they spend OUR money on. Democrats love social programs and Republicans love Big Oil and Defense Contractors. Either way we are screwed.
Jon Quinn 2 years, 10 months ago
NamVet is right. We have consistently been let down by both the left and the right, with the exception of Clinton. It sure would be nice to find a president again who understood that a surplus is better than a deficit.
It is time to have an honest conversation about what we want from government. Politicians cannot solve all our problems. We dig ourselves out of the hole we are in with higher taxes, less spending, or both.
Rove is so extreme that he represents the views of very few Americans. The same is true of the Democratic leadership at the moment. I think most Americans are centrist. The tea party will be a footnote in history books, but it's extremism will never be embraced by most. But it is an important movement because it reflects the discontent most of us are now feeling with the state of our political system.
David Brooks has written about this quite a bit lately... our country is ready for a legitimate, centrist, 3rd party. The Democratic and Republican parties are frankly out of touch, and both consistently serve only themselves. We need something better for our future, and it certainly is not represented by people like Karl Rove!
Matthew Stoddard 2 years, 10 months ago
I agree, Jon. The extremists on both sides are the ones who knock our country down over and over again. It's when the 2 current sides can't work together that things break down. That's why when 1 party gets super-majority numbers, they'll push thru their own agenda thru in a partisan manner. And then, they are not intelligent enough to see that they are doing the same thing in reverse when the other party gets that super-majority. Both sides use "The Nuclear Option" but call it "The Constitutional Option" only when their side uses the tactic.
Dave McClure 2 years, 10 months ago
Democrats and Republicans listen up. Lets have a citizens arrest demonstration! Karl will be here for two days. Make some signs, form a line and picket for his arrest! No trespassing and we wouldn't want to interrupt his speech to those all American fascists. I just love these non-profit organizations, they don't pay taxes, that sponsor criminal speakers in the name of the first amendment. Lets take their pictures, so we know who they are. They are harboring one of the great deciever's minions. Picket and pictures!! Catchy phrase! I'll be there!
Matthew Stoddard 2 years, 10 months ago
LOL! I'd settle for Tar & Feathering as I was reminded of it after watching the 2008 John Adams mini-series HBO just replayed. Anyone trying to make a citizen's arrest, let me know, first. I want to get a photo op to post on Facebook! Good luck with that!
As for Rove himself, I can see why some "special" people see him as appealing. From 2006:
On October 24, 2006, two weeks before the Congressional election, in an interview with National Public Radio's Robert Siegel, Rove insisted that his insider polling data forecast Republican retention of both houses:
SIEGEL: I'm looking at all the same polls that you are looking at.
ROVE: No, you are not. I'm looking at 68 polls a week for candidates for the US House and US Senate, and Governor and you may be looking at 4-5 public polls a week that talk attitudes nationally.
SIEGEL: I don't want to have you to call races...
ROVE: I'm looking at all of these Robert and adding them up. I add up to a Republican Senate and Republican House. You may end up with a different math but you are entitled to your math and I'm entitled to the math.
Also -"In July 1999 he told The Washington Post that he did not have a degree because "I lack at this point one math class, which I can take by exam, and my foreign language requirement."
Both are from Wiki.
"and I'm entitled to THE math." Uh-huh. Must have been thinking that 59 and 73 were the same number. How'd that work out during those elections? I guess one math class can make a world of difference and keeps it non-fuzzy.

Fred Duckels 2 years, 10 months ago
Congratulations Rick and Jenifer on putting this excellent program together. It is a good effort to promote the free market system over those wishing to milk the country for legislation to promote socialism and freeloading forever. Europe is now lecturing us, not to follow their folly. Jon, I believe Newt Gingrich's attempts to shut down the government in order to keep the budget in line might deserve some of your praises. Your Tea Party comments may come back to haunt you, I see their efforts as the only logical solution to end this Jr.Hi. administrations reign, and hopefully end this conspiricy of dunce's. Obama's only experience has been that of an agitator, but he does have the unions and lawyers behind him plotting to gain through legislation what they will never realize in the marketplace. A year ago conservatives were told to move left or become extinct, the wise one's waited for the pendulum to swing and it certainly has, see you at ;the conference.
Jon Quinn 2 years, 10 months ago
Sorry YVB. I just believe that if a person has something to say, they should have the courage so stand up and say it... in their own name. That simple. I will not lead my life being afraid that some will disagree with me. I think you know my opinions about anonymous posting.
I have worked my butt off, day in and day out, to make Steamboat work for my family. This is my home. I will express myself as I see fit.
Oh, as for political aspirations... I can tell you that they begin and end in Steamboat for me. But since you clearly know me so well, I am surprised that would be news to you.
Zed 2 years, 10 months ago
According to YVB Political Truth consists of statements like the following:
"Clinton did his best work under a desk with Monica. He lied under oath, he lied to his wife, he lied to his daughter, and he lied to the American people. He wants Hillary to start a war in Korea, and he and Hillary will do anything to replace Obama as the Dem/Pres candidate in 2012, just watch."
Wow you nailed it, really profound insight into Political Truth! And Obama is not a US citizen and a muslim right? Thats the truth we need more of.
Fred - You are right, we should avoid "those wishing to milk the country for legislation to promote socialism and freeloading forever" and instead go back to allowing big business to milk us. I love Wall Street, big banks and big corporations because you can always count on them to do the right thing, they would never take advantage of their fellow Americans. It seems to me those writing the legislation and running the various government departments are all ex-big business. Who was it that was overseeing drilling regulations in the coast? Oh that's right, the head of the MMS was in bed with officials from BP, literally.

Zed What you stated about what Clinton did was very true,but you forgot one point at least,that being,it sat precedence in the legal situations of civil trial,"you can lie under oath and get away with it".If the prez gets by,why not everyone else?If he got away with perjuring himself ,why cant everyone else?Its a terrible example for our young or old generations,if Bill Clinton becomes the prez-spouse,are we supposed to respect him?Will he redecorate,throw lawn partys?Maybe tell Hillary what to do?Heck they got away with Whitewater,All kinda stuff over the years.What kind of example to our children its O.K. to be a crook in some cases,you can lie too about it when prez,and now that same man is headed back to the white house?What is wrong with people and how could Hillary even be considered?She has been there all along too.Crooked also.Why is she in the mix at all?Tell kids why Bill Clinton needs to plan the Easter egg lawn party,he will turn that white house into a who___ house.She will let it all happen.
pitpoodle 2 years, 10 months ago
Jon Quinn, after your wrong and dismal approach to SB 700 where you thought the annexation agreement was a gift to Steamboat, I have no regard for your views or comments. Mr. Rove has a perspective too but generally an informed one, not withstanding the poll comments, and at least he is interesting. I would like to hear his views on our terrible state of affairs (not just deficits). Who said Bush was the worst president ever? Wrong. It is our current president who is the worst ever and Clinton was little better.

This is the crap we have as our leaders now.
" The White House is contradicting the NASA administrator's claim that President Barack Obama assigned him to reach out to Muslims on science matters.
NASA Administrator Charles Bolden recently told Al-Jazeera network that one of the charges Obama gave him was "to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science and engineering."
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said Monday that such activities are not among Bolden's assigned tasks. He said administration officials have spoken with NASA about the matter."

See - Regarding Obama, NASA, and reaching out to Muslims -- Why is that such a bad thing? Didn't RR tout the same thing for NASA and the evil Soviets? Daily Show ran the footage last week -- I don't have time to link it.
Poodle -- I don't know Jon Quinn at all, but it seems the epitome of narrow-minded ignorance to dismiss someone's political views based on a small town housing development position. Get a grip.

We were in a space race with the Soviets Cooke. Get it? And besides, RR did win us the cold war. Interesting source for your news though. And thanks for reminding me of what great leadership is, it's been long forgotten this last couple of years.
A Muslim bowing and reaching out to the Muslims of the world, priceless.
Cooke 2 years, 10 months ago
I do get it See, and I don't get my news through the daily show -- rarely watch it as a matter of fact. Further, I don't get my news through Fox and Friends either, which most would argue is a more partisan, more skewing source than any other out there, However, I can't help but recognize that you did not answer the question -- Why is reaching out a bad thing? Is it simply because you are a bigot? I would like to think that you are not, so prove me wrong.
seeuski 2 years, 10 months ago
If wanting to keep my head attached to my body and keep a Mosque off of ground zero and support the Israelis in their quest for life makes me a bigot, then have at it. I could spend 10 minutes writing all that this Administration has done during it's existence that is bigoted but I am on the way out. So, being that you source MSNBC and all the friendly comedy shows for your news we can expect you have no clue. Just look at the slate of current events with the NBP's and the DOJ for one. Good luck.

I accept the criticism for my abuse of the word accept while I was rushing to get on the road. Islam will never accept infidels in this world, and that does not come from me but from them. Accept it or ignore it at your own peril. We did that all during the Clinton years and it got us 9/11 after several other attacks. So no, I do not think NASA is properly sanctioned by reaching out to Muslims to make them feel good about their supposed contributions to math and science. Unless you are using it to count the number of deaths from terrorism and infidel murders and the science behind their tactics.

Okay, first of all, deficits have to be compared to the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) in order to see how "big" they are. If you make $5000 a year and spends $1000 on housing, that's a lot more on a relative basis than someone who makes $100,000 a year and spends $15,000 on housing. Absolute numbers don't account for inflation and the "income" of the country as a whole, so they are not valid. They do, however, give people a way to taunt the uneducated who fall for the "The deficit is twice as big . . . " arguments. Doesn't matter whose deficit it is/was, it has to be compared to GDP to be valid.
The Republicans would have an argument if all of them were honest and honorable people. In fact, Newt Gingrich is not much different from John Edwards in his personal life. A guy who abandons a wife dying of cancer doesn't deserve to have any of us as his followers. Both of them did that.
If big business didn't use the laws to screw the little guy, Republicans would have a good argument for their way of doing business. They have to change that part of the equation and be honest, honorable, responsible and pragmatic about people who honestly need government aid and social programs if they want to get out of the hole they're in now where half the people in the country hate them.
John Fielding 2 years, 10 months ago
Aich makes an excellent point about the abandonment of the terminal loved ones, how can one respect anyone who would do so. When my wife died it was in my arms, with our daughter and doctor present, with Father Ernest having given last rites and other messages of comfort. Hers was a very slow passing, and to be present was extremely painful and traumatic, but I believe I may never have a chance in this life to perform a more noble service than to whisper those final words of love and reassurance to her.
pitpoodle 2 years, 10 months ago
Jeez, I doubt that one-half of the country hates Republicans. Cut it out. That is a completely biased statement that harms your credibility.
aichempty 2 years, 10 months ago
No, I think the results at the ballot box are pretty conclusive. Maybe "hate" is a strong word, but recent elections have shown that it's a pretty decent 50/50 split.
My comments above are more fully supported by the revelations regarding Scott McInnis and his plagiarism scandal. He somehow dares to think that returning the money ($300,000) after GETTING CAUGHT should clear the slate.
It is becoming more obvious that the Republican Party is serving as a false front for crooks who pretend to be "conservative" and have "family values" and all that propaganda to capture the votes of the real people who are still honest, have family values, and fear the Liberal agenda. On the other side, of course, are the crooks who profit from the Liberal agenda (Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, for example, who fan the flames of racism to generate income for themselves).
This whole country is pretty ####ed up and if the elected officials are going to refuse to enforce the laws (immigration, for example) for political gain, won't go after the crooks sitting in Congress, in the Executive branch, and even in the Judicial branches of the federal and state governments, we really don't have a government "of the people."
Taxpayers currently exist to fund the careers of politicians, who slap bandages on visible public issues for the public relations value and use our money to buy votes for themselves by giving away things the people in their states and districts value.
We've got a bunch of Id-driven two-year-old personalities begging Big Daddy Government for things they can't provide for themselves, and then when the results of getting away with too much for too long finally catch up with them, they want to be let off the hook.
Lots of people around here like to keep their heads down and not attract attention because they are dealing on the dark side of society, but in non-violent ways. Tax evasion (taking payment in cash and then not declaring it for tax purposes, transferring highly valuable property via quit-claim deed to escape reporting requirements imposed on lenders and title companies) and drug use are obvious "problems" that most people around here don't consider to be problems, because they are careful and don't get caught. Well, like it or not, one guy around here who takes cash and doesn't report it to the IRS and Colorado Department of Revenue is no different from the politicians who take thousands or even millions in special privilege for themselves at everyone else's expense.
Karl Rove and his cronies need to clean their own house, enforce the laws and return this country to a place where laws mean something. I think both parties are so crooked that there is no hope. It's just like an honest man going to court before a crooked judge; the judge can do what he wants, and there's nothing an honest man can do about it except learn to stay out of court.
JLM 2 years, 10 months ago
Political candidates today come from the idealogical left and right because this is where the primary election system forces them in order to obtain the nomination. Primary voters are fairly zealous.
Elections are decided in the center because the centrists now come out to vote.
Newly elected politicians are forced to govern from the extremes because this is what the caucus requires. Think Nancy Pelosi.
When re-election time comes along, the candidates run back to the center because at home they really don't care what Nancy Pelosi thinks about anything.
Thereby creating the assurance that the electorate will never reallly be happy with their elected officials.
sledneck 2 years, 10 months ago
Aich, once again... you nailed it. There is little hope for America as it now meanders.
John Fielding 2 years, 10 months ago
There is plenty of reason to maintain hope for America, and for Humankind and Life on Earth.
The very fact that we, like millions of others, are having these discussions is reason for hope.
The level of awareness of the planets physical and biological systems is constantly expanding.
The desire among the Peoples of the Earth to live in Harmony has never been greater.
Yes, there is a great deal of hard road ahead, but most of us don't mind the trouble.
Just look at how hard we worked to get this far, we aren't giving up now.
In the words of the poet:
"Oh let us turn our thoughts today to Martin Luther King. and recognize that there are ties between us, all men and women, living on the Earth, ties of hope and love, of sister and brotherhood. And we are bound together, by the desire to see the world become, a place in which our children can grow free and strong. We are bound together, by the task that lies before us, and the road that lies ahead, and we are bound, and we are bound.

I especially like the new deodorants. I use mine liberally, yet I can tell it's going to last a long time. I've been using it for a few months and it looks like it's only dropped a quarter or a third of an inch in the bottle." Susan P., Fairbanks, AK Our all natural spray deodorant eliminates odor-producing bacteria and keeps you feeling fresh from shower to shower.

Link Bewteen Smoking While Pregnant And Autism
Posted by Patti the Precocious Guru | Filed under Health
It's rare to see a pregnant woman smoking these days, but it used to be quite common. It seems to me, more and more children are being diagnosed as autistic, so this possible link sounds reasonable to believe. Check out the details of the study from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, here…

Pregnancy by week
Your Baby's 1st 18 months
Your first 'booking' appointment with your midwife is the time in your pregnancy when everything starts to happen. You are checked and tested, you are bombarded with information about tests, scans and lifestyle advice and 'booked' into hospital for the birth. It can feel overwhelming, so it's helpful to know what to expect:
You'll be counselled for screening for Down's syndrome Depending on where you live, you should be offered either a nuchal translucency screening test (a scan that measures the clear space in the tissue at the back of the baby's neck, which can be an indication of Down's syndrome), or a blood screening test called the triple or quadruple test . The nuchal fold scan has to be done between 11 and 14 weeks and the blood tests between 15 and 20 weeks. These tests should be offered to all pregnant women, not just women over 35 who are at a higher risk of having a baby with Down's syndrome.
These tests do not give a definitive 'yes' or 'no' answer but assess your level of risk. If you have a high risk result you may be referred for a diagnostic test such as amniocentesis, which will give you a definite answer but carries a 0.5% risk of miscarriage.
Your blood pressure will be checked. Your blood pressure is considered to be a good indicator of your overall health. There are two measurements: the higher figure (known as systolic), measures blood pressure when the heart muscle is contracting and the lower figure (known as diastolic), when the heart muscle is between contractions.
High blood pressure in pregnancy is said to exist if it is raised to 140/90 or above. In later pregnancy, high blood pressure (along with protein in the urine and swelling) can be a sign of pre-eclampsia, a complication of pregnancy, which can cause premature labour and still birth if left untreated.
Your urine will be tested. Testing for white cells, sugar and protein in the urine can indicate whether you are at risk from complications that develop in pregnancy. Protein in the urine can be a sign of pre-eclampsia developing. Sugar can sometimes be a sign of gestational diabetes, a special type of diabetes that can develop in pregnancy and which, if it is not controlled, can lead to abnormally large babies and birth complications. The presence of white cells can indicate a urinary tract infection (UTI), which if left untreated can cause premature labour.
Your height and weight will be checked. Your midwife will measure your height and weight to calculate your body mass index (BMI), a medical classification system for your body weight. If you want to work it out yourself divide your weight in kilograms by the square of your height in metres. You are classed as either underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese. If you're in the normal range, your weight will not be checked again during pregnancy, unless there are specific complications. If you're obese or underweight, you will need specialist care.
You'll be given lots of advice about diet and lifestyle. Your midwife will advise you about healthy eating, giving up smoking, cutting back on alcohol, adapting exercise regimes and avoiding foods considered hazardous in pregnancy, such as undercooked meat and paté.
You'll be asked for information about yourself. Your midwife may ask you about any previous history of physical illness or mental health issues. She will also ask whether there are any areas, such as domestic violence or sexual abuse, where you will need special support. If you are experiencing problems she'll be able to help.
Your tummy will be measured. Midwives can check your baby is growing at the correct rate by measuring something called the height of the fundus (the distance between the top of your pubic bone and the highest point of your uterus). The measurement roughly equates to 1cm (1/2in) for every week of pregnancy. The height of the fundus may be measured from 20 weeks onward.

- 2 roasted red peppers, skins and seeds removed
- 1 cup of crumbled feta
- 1 cup of Greek yogurt
- 2 cloves of garlic, peeled
- 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Roast the red peppers over an open flame, on the BBQ or under the broiler, until the skins are blistered and blackened. If you wish you can purchase roasted red peppers from the grocery store, however doing it yourself makes for a superior final product. Place the peppers in a paper bag with the top closed for ten minutes while the peppers cool. This will help loosen the charred skins, allowing for easier removal. After the skins are removed, core the peppers removing the seeds, and place the peppers into the bowl of a food processor. Add the garlic, feta, yogurt and cayenne pepper then puree for ten seconds. Scrape the sides of the food processor down with a spatula and turn the processor on and slowly drizzle the olive oil in to incorporate into the dip. Refrigerate for at least three hours before serving. Serve with toasted baguette slices or pita chips. This dip also works great as a spread on sandwiches! Enjoy!

We were talking about the intersection of information and atmosphere in the short stories of the Haitian-American writer Edwidge Danticat. What kind of consciousness and expectation does the reader bring to stories "about" Haiti? The challenge for Danticat is to subvert what we thought we knew, to write with the authority of observed detail, even detail observed inarguably in the imagination or passed down generations, hardened to a gemlike consistency. The challenge is to suggest (but not slavishly replicate) the sensations of lived life, to break down the distancing wall of our pity and evoke rather than merely name the atrocities – rape, suicide, dislocation, poverty, torture, murder – that humans suffer at one another's hands.
The job of the reporter is to give us facts and evidence, causes and effects. The job of the fiction writer is to refuse the simple story we thought we knew, to inscribe indelible marks on our soul. The artist Francis Bacon said, "I look for phrases that cut me." This strikes me as a fairly accurate description of the serious and complex experience of reading Danticat, whose stories again and again reveal stark beauty of the hard thing said simply: "Madame Roger came home with her son's head." Or, "Her teeth were a dark red, as though caked with blood from the initial beating during her arrest." Or, "The woman we had been staying with carried her dead son by the legs." "All of these women were here for the same reason. They were said to have been seen at night rising from the ground like birds on fire."
The risk of repelling the finer sensibilities of the reader is one risk of writing beautifully about danger and survival. Offending fellow survivors is another. In his essay "Return to Sender," Mark Doty speaks of writing a memoir that ended his relationship with his father. "If there is meaning in this," Doty writes, "it is that art cannot be counted on to mend the rifts within or without. Its work is to take us to the brink of clarity." Writing does not alleviate suffering. Doty's father's silence "is a burning in which I reside."
Survival stories – the stories we tell to live – may be realist or postmodern, geopolitical or personal. They may find forms of beauty in the most harrowing things. Indeed the act of reading – of taking the hard stories of others into our own skins – may even expand and intensify human suffering, which is one definition of consciousness.
This Saturday night (October 9th) at the Litquake Lit Crawl, students and faculty of the California Institute of Integral Studies' MFA Department present "Danger and Beauty: Stories We Tell To Live." 7:15-8:15 p.m. at the Women's Building, Room A, 3543 18th Street, San Francisco. Readers include Sarah Stone, April Serr, Brynn Saito, Pauline Reif, and Carolyn Cooke.

How he never showed his face--until the day he took an overwhelming interest in one very special agent. Angel Carter would have been a serial killer's next victim if not for Noah. The rescue gave her a glimpse into his world of shadows--yet she dared to want more. To really know if the passion between them was real. They would have to come face-to-face if the killer was to be caught--and Noah could only conceal his body from Angel for so long.... eBook Publisher: Harlequin/Intrigue, eBookwise Release Date: January 2009

Pain causing sleeping trouble

OscarBub saysSleeping positions only get worse the bigger we get, I found with my last 2 pregnancies that if i put a pillow between my legs that came around under the belly I didn't feel so off balance or unaligned. But unfortunatly the sayiong of getting plenty of rest before bub comes is not always relistic |
NT_12 saysIf you align your pelvis when sleeping you will most likely find it the most supportive & comfortable sleeping position...
Sleeping with a pillow in between your legs to prop up your top leg may help? |
Bellydanca saysI have a lot of hip and lower back trouble and I generally sleep in the 'recovery' position, since preg I now have a pillow under my knee (top leg) so it takes pressure off bump. People talk of 'stacking' your hips but for me that doesn't work and the weight of the top one combined with loose ligaments just leads to pain :( good luck
TinaLovesYellow saysI posted about this a while back, having been having this problem since about 12 weeks, am now 21 weeks. Haven't had a full nights sleep since then. But things improving. I saw my hospital physio and she explained to me that most ppl have either week joints or week muscles. So what happens when you're pregnant and the relaxin hormone kicks in is, if you have weak muscles like me, you're joints would normally compensate for that weakness, but because of you're relaxing joints this isn't happening in the same way as usual during pregnancy. And if you have weak joints that are looser because of the relaxin hormone, then they will be even weaker and the muscles can't manage as well as before. Both of these things can cause trouble when sleeping.
I was given exercises to do, and my hospital runs physio exercise classes which I take. They help a lot. Plus I need to be active everyday or I have a worse nights sleep. I always slept on my sides and now find it painful, I have had to swap my last emergency sleeping position of on my back to sleeping sitting up in bed. Might give you an extra position to try. Good luck, and hope you get it sorted out. Cheers, Tina |
teestar saysHi AmeliaLucy,
I get those same pains too *sigh* I didn't get them in my first pregnancy, only lower back ache/sacrum pain that time around at about 28 weeks onwards - which has just started to flare up again. This time around though these hip/glute/upper thigh pains started around 8 weeks and are still keeping me awake through the night (I'm 20 weeks on Tues). And - while it started as a night time only thing, I'm now finding the pains are coming through the day aswell - the bigger I get the more it seems to play up despite my efforts to maintain the daily exercises my physio has given me, and getting to yoga 1-2 times a week in the hope that the stretching and strength building will help... So - apart from exercise and physio, here's how I am doing my best to get some sleep amidst the pain and discomfort: I have a body pillow for in front of me which supports my tummy and goes between my knees, and I also have a small firm rectangular cushion just behind my lower back - when I wake up from the pain that has developed I can roll back and slightly off my hip by putting my weight back on to the cushion for a while - this means I'm not flat on my back (which I am avoiding as it's advised that you don't sleep flat on your back from 2nd trimester onwards)...I fall asleep on my left side, the pain builds up on the left and then it's just an endless cycle of switching positions and sides and hauling pillows all around the bed to try and get more sleep. I reckon I am waking and changing positions at least hourly. It. Is. Exhausting. And my DF sleeps through it. So unfair! Hehehe... By morning I'm sore and feeling totally exhausted but within half an hour of being up the muscles & joints are not so achey anymore. I have found that if I pop a hot water bottle near my lower back when I first get in to bed it helps me get comfortable enough to fall asleep - I only fill it up half full so I won't get too hot... I have also noticed just the last few nights that if I sleep with only a slight bend in my knees (just enough to get my legs under and over the body pillow) rather than having my knees really bent - the pain doesn't seem to get quite so intense. This is weird because initially I found that I needed to tuck my knees up with more of a bend in order to get comfy and not experience so much pain...moral of that story? If something you have tried doesn't seem to help at all - maybe try it again a few weeks later as you never know when the failed remedy might just do the trick! Hope you find some ways to get a bit comfier and some better rest soon....it's so annoying not being able to get quality rest! At least you can look forward to the trade off when bub arrives of having a snuggly little bub to keep you up at night rather than annoying pains as it is definitely the relaxin that is the main culprit of the pain you are in now and that will all settle down after bub is born :) I'm very interested to keep up with this thread to hear of any other ideas I'm not yet aware of too! All the best :) |
AmeliaLucy saysThank you so much everyone for taking the time to respond to my call for advice. It is really re-assuring to know I am not alone in this situation. I will definitely try the tips that everyone has suggested. Teestar, it looks like we are in the same boat with this, you poor thing, its aweful isnt it?? I am the type of person that persists until I find a solution to I am heading to the physio tonight to ask for some more options. If I get any breakthroughs I will definitely share them. In the meantime, I have to put some strategies in place to keep my mind positive both in the middle of the night (when I wake in pain) and in the morning (when I wake totally fatigued.) Im thinking a lovely breakfast to look forward to sometimes helps and some positive mantras! Thanks again everyone.
TinaLovesYellow saysOh I've just remembered, my physio also recommended taking some panadol when I have a really bad night, or before going to bed to help get to sleep. I try not to, I figure the less the better, but they do say it's safe.
Good luck at the physio tonight :) |
teestar saysHi AmeliaLucy - hope the physio session was good!
I'm finding this thread really great to hear other similar experiences and ideas for getting through it...I had been wondering about Panadol for it and - like you TinaLovesYellow - I try to avoid things like that but I am anticipating that this is going to get no better - if not worse - and it's good to know that it is an option should I get to that point! I think what I find doubly frustrating about this whole 'pain keeping me awake at night' thing is that I have bad nights and then not so bad nights and I can not for the life of me pin point what the differences are through the days that might be impacting on the varying intensity of the pain....sooooo annoying! It sure is unpleasant starting the day after a painful and unrestful night's sleep - the positive mantras are definitely something that I try and keep up to help get through it...and when I'm lying awake at night trying to get comfy and feel a little wriggle in my belly - I can't help but smile and feel that even though it is not great going though some of the stuff that comes with pregnancy - that little wriggler in there makes it all worthwhile :) |
AmeliaLucy saysHey Teestar, great to hear that you are staying positive about the whole painful sleep issue - I have been catching myself when I start complaining or feeling down about the pains Ive been feeling and changing the way I am thinking. Last year I had 2 miscarriages and so now realise how blessed I am to be carrying a healthy baby boy now. The pains in the night will not be forever but I will always have my lovely child. Its such a beautiful gift and remembering that stops me thinking negative thoughts. The physio was wonderful, she said that the pressure of having all my weight on the side probably contributes to the pains and suggested placing a pillow longways along my back to I am propped up on a 45 degree angle. That way I can distribute my body weight more evenly. I bought a body pillow from Target and used it for my back, then places a belly bean pillow (figure of eight shape) with one end between my knees and the other under my belly. Its worked a treat and I have had no pain the last few nights. Happy days! |
teestar saysOh wow AmeliaLucy - so lovely to hear that you are where you are on what sounds like a huge journey to motherhood...and yay for the pillow combo comfort factor - it gives me hope hearing that you've had a few good nights!!! I was looking at those belly bean pillows the other day and thinking I could try one...I'm going to get one and give this combo your physio suggested a go! Thanks for the update, here's to comfy sleeps and the little blessing growing in your tum x

Best of 2012: Top 10 Hip Hop Songs
We are pretty close to wrapping up our Best of 2012 series and now we've reached the songs. So, for the sake of simplicity we've chosen mostly singles that were released, but there are a few album cuts that will sneak in for sure.
Bizzon's Top 10 Hip Hop Songs of 2012
Big Boi, T.I. & Ludacris with a bangin' beat? C'mon Son.
Joey Bada$$ showed his entire soul on this track and made everyone pay attention.
8. Brother Ali - Mourning In America
Brother Ali has been a dope MC for a decade but with this being an election year, his Muslim faith and the frustration the country had with the political process, this track spoke for almost everybody.
KRIT brought the best of the south with this beat and flowed so raw on this.
Who would of thought this electronic music would make all these hip-hop heads listen to El-P again?
While I didn't like the album "Control System" that much, no one can deny the lrycism and storytelling that Ab lays out on this track.
Take one of the best MCs of all time and give him a good new rap beat. Banger.
3. Kanye West - Cold (Theraflu) / Clique
While everyone was going nuts over Clique, my favorite song from Cruel Summer was Theraflu/Cold. Kanye came so strong on this track and the beat blew out my car speakers.
No one was guessing Killer Mike was going to have such a great album and "Reagan" is the main reason why. By adding in Reagan's own statements, Killer Mike's anger over the entire history of the US political system and El-P's production, it said everything we've all wanted to say.
1. Kendrick Lamar - Cartoons & Cereal / Sing About Me
I could have put eight Kendrick songs on this list but for me it's a tie between "Cartoons & Cereal" & "Sing About Me". Storytelling at it's finest.
Jank's Top 10 Hip Hop Songs of 2012
Dear Bizzon, I'm sorry "The Don" never blew up like you wished it to. That is mostly because it's garbage. Moving on...
10. Clear Soul Forces - Keep it Movin
Detroit never dissapoints when it comes to rap stuff. This here is some heat.
9. Dom Kennedy - We Ball f. Kendrick Lamar
This was an unexpected joint off of Dom's The Yellow album. I wished the rest of the album was as ill as the song.
8. Schoolboy Q - Hands on the Wheel f. A$AP Rocky
A sample of a Kid Cudi remix gave us one of the most memorable choruses of the year.
7. Large Professor - Light Years
DJ JDL got us hip to this one and it remained in heavy rotation forever. The sample is ridiculous.
They had me at "clap,clap,clap". Listen to it and you'll see why.
5. Karriem Riggins - Summer Madness
This here is the best instrumental i've heard this year, hands down. The video features a live version. I can't decide which is better. Closet thing to Donuts we'll ever hear.
Illminds production never fails in combination with Skyzoo. The shoulder bounce is a necessity.
3. Kendrick Lamar - The Recipe ft. Dr. Dre
Besides Dr. Dre rapping suspiciously like Kendrick Lamar this was a perfect summer jam.
2. Kanye West - Mercy ft. Big Sean, Pusha T and 2 Chainz
I did the Kid Cudi dance from the video on stage at Summerfest in front of thousands of people. That's how much I liked the song.
This is what's been missing from my life. I needed some slow, grimey New York hip hop. He's not talking about anything particular in "Deeper"; it's all about the flow. It's also about the uber ill track that The Alchemist produced.
New Video: Proph - "On Ten"
Proph is back with some new visuals for the track "On Ten" from his last album "Wool Over My Eyes" (which you can still get for free). Directed by Xavier Ruffin, the man behind most of Milwaukee's dopest recent videos, Proph is just enjoying life and making things happen, while Yo-Dot looks generally confused. It's all good homie. This video is already hitting the major blogs and for good reason. Check it!
50 Cent is back with new mixtape The Big 10
50 Cent returns with a new mixtape album The Big 10. This album isn't for the average 50 fan. If "Candy Shop" is your jam don't bother reading any further. 50 took it back to his gangster roots to give his original fans something to appreciate. The Big 10 is reminiscent of some of 50's early mixtapes such as Guess Who's Back and 50 is the Future.
It almost sounds like he went back home to Jamaica, Queens for a week and got his groove back. If you're a fan of gangsta 50 you'll dig it. Listen below.
as with most music on this blog, this contains extremely explicit lyrics. Put your headphones on!

Saplings are an important resource obtained from leaves that allows trees to be grown. There are 4 types of saplings, oak, birch, spruce, and jungle, for each type of tree.
In Survival mode, all types of saplings have a 1/20 chance of dropping when leaves are broken or decay except jungle saplings which have a 1/40 chance of dropping. The withering behavior of leaves is explained in detail in the leaves article. Each type of tree has its own type of sapling. Most tree canopies will drop at least one sapling block, though they may drop more, and large tree canopies should drop several if completely deleaved. When trees grow, it is possible for some leaves to be generated in an unsupported position, and as they wither they may drop saplings, allowing saplings to be found rarely below newly grown trees. It should be noted that saplings will generally not drop from a tree canopy that is consumed by fire, as the saplings are prone to landing on flaming blocks unless the canopy is lit from above.
Contents |
[edit] Growth
Saplings can grow on any dirt or grass block, and grow into a tree, permitted they are exposed to a light level of at least 9, and have a certain number of air blocks above them, depending on the sapling type (Oak and Birch saplings need 6, while Spruce saplings need 7). However, they will grow slower if they have fewer than 10 blocks above the dirt. To instantly "create" a tree, use Bone Meal on the planted sapling.
They will pop out of the ground if they are not exposed to a light level of at least 8, but will not pop out of the ground if they do not have enough headroom, provided they still have sufficient light. In this way they can be used as decoration in structures provided they don't have room to grow into full trees, or the block above is never exposed to a light level of 9 or more. This also applies to saplings in the Nether.
A light level of 9 (above sapling) may be provided by a nearby torch, so saplings can grow into trees underground with just one nearby torch. It should be noted that while moonlight has a brightness of 4, saplings will not pop out of the ground when exposed to moonlight - they will survive low light provided there are no blocks directly above them.
If they are right clicked on with Bone Meal, they may grow into a full tree, allowing rapid collection of wood. As of 1.5 it takes 2-4 applications of Bone Meal to grow instantly. The sapling attempts a random tree form (big and branching, for example), but if it does not work due to lack of space, the growth aborts. Repeated application of Bone Meal may result in a successful tree except in extreme lack of space.
Jungle tree saplings, if placed in a 2x2 square, will grow into a full size Jungle tree. They will grow around 31 blocks tall if they have enough room. To instantly grow them one only needs to apply Bone Meal to one of the four saplings 2-4 times.
[edit] History
Beta | ||
1.5 | Birch, pine, and oak trees drop birch, pine, and oak saplings, respectively. Before, trees only dropped oak saplings, regardless of tree type.
All Saplings can be used in furnaces, having the same duration as sticks. When the update occurred, all planted saplings were randomly turned into a birch or spruce sapling. |
Official release | ||
1.2 | The texture for oak saplings was changed. There was a bug that could turn saplings of any type into jungle saplings. | |
1.2.4 | Fixed sapling bug. | |
1.3.1 | Saplings now have names based on their type of tree. |
[edit] Trivia
- If the player stands on the same block as a placed Sapling as it grows into a tree, wood blocks will grow on top of them, causing suffocation.
- It is possible to plant a sapling on any patch of dirt or grass. Whether or not it will grow into a tree depends on if it has enough space and light.
- Saplings can also be placed on Farmland but will not grow.
- The sapling requires 6 blocks above it in order to grow, either from bone meal or after some time.
- Saplings can grow without the required amount of light if bone meal is used, provided that there is enough space above the sapling.
- When a sapling is placed near the sky void, it will grow, but it'll be cut off at whatever level the sky void is at, sometimes resulting in only a trunk, or a flat layer of branches.
- Dead Bushes, which look like dead saplings, are generated in desert biomes.
- In 1.1 and above, it`s possible to plant many oak saplings with no space between them, provided the player has some bone meal and removes the wood blocks above the saplings (leaves will be destroyed).
- In 1.2.5, looking at leaves in creative mode and pressing the "Pick Block" button will give you/select a sapling of the respective leaf type.
- Farming small Jungle Trees from saplings is unsustainable, because most trees have less than forty leaves on them. Jungle giants are another story, as they can easily produce 8 or more saplings.

GA Workforce Panel: Collaboration Key
The panel met at Chattahoochee Technical College to discuss workforce development, training and WIA funding in Georgia.
Collaboration was the theme of a panel discussion today centered on workforce development at Chattahoochee Technical College's North Metro Campus in Acworth. Despite Georgia's unemployment rate of 9.7 percent, employers are looking for workers, and that's where collaboration comes into play, moderator Ron Banta said. The question is how to get workers into the jobs. One thing the state is doing is to offer its Work Ready program just to those who are unemployed as a way for them to gain skills needed to move forward, said Tricia Pridemore, the executive director of the Governor's Office of Workforce Development. This year, 16,500 skilled jobs are expected to become available, Pridemore said. "This will be a good way to put Georgia back to …

And we don't need to discriminate because of age. I went through the Cobb Works program to get some training to help me in my job search, and although she won't admit it if asked, the lady that I talked to about which training course I was going to take said that since I was 58 years old, my options were limited. So limited in that I wasn't approved for anything.   more ›
