Acclaimed Hong Kong collection of Ming loyalist art on view at Metropolitan Museum this fall
Shitao (1642 1707), Landscapes depicting poems of Huang Yanlü, Dated 1701 1702. Album of 22 leaves, ink and colour on paper. Each 20.5 x 34 cm. Lent by The Chih Lo Lou Collection, Hong Kong.
The collapse of the Ming dynasty (1368-1644) and subsequent conquest of China by semi-nomadic Manchu tribesmen from northeast of the Great Wall engendered some of the most traumatic events in Chinese history. This wrenching era also spurred an enormous outpouring of creative energy as many former Ming subjects turned to the arts to express their loyalty to the noble but doomed cause of Ming restoration and to assert their defiance and moral virtue. Drawn from one of the finest and most comprehensive private assemblages of the art of the Ming-Qing transition, The Art of Dissent in 17th-Century China: Masterpieces of Ming Loyalist Art from the Chih Lo Lou Collection showcases more than 60 landscape paintings and calligraphies that highlight the intensely personal styles created by the leading artists of that time. Particularly noteworthy are the clusters of exceptional works by Huang Daozhou, Hongren, Bada Shanren (Zhu Da), and Shitao. The exhibition, recently on view at the Hong Kong Museum of Art, opened at The
Metropolitan Museum of Art
on September 7.
The Manchu conquest followed several decades of political weakness at the Ming court that had left large portions of the country in chaos. When the capital in Beijing fell to a Chinese bandit army in 1644, Manchu forces poised along the Great Wall routed the rebels but then continued their march southward. After crushing Ming resistance in the city of Yangzhou, which was burned for 10 days as an example, the southern capital of Nanjing surrendered, but it took another 40 years to suppress various Ming claimants to the throne and to quell armed rebellions in the south.
During this time, many former Ming subjects maintained their loyalty to the fallen regime by refusing service under the Manchu Qing ("pure") dynasty (1644-1911). To endure the often harsh conditions of alien rule, these so-called "leftover subjects" took psychological as well as physical refuge in nature, and their representations of landscape often project their emotional responses to this radically changed world order. In transforming painting and calligraphy into vehicles for self-expression, they demonstrated a remarkable independence from traditional styles and techniques. For this reason, they have been celebrated as visionary individualists, whose styles have remained influential to the present day.
In order to provide an appropriate aesthetic and intellectual context for the material, the exhibition has been organized into five thematic or regional groupings:
Ming Martyrs
After taking Beijing, the capital of the Ming state, in 1644, the Manchus extended their rule through a succession of southward military campaigns against Ming loyalist resistance, which officially ended in 1661. During the intervening years, a number of Ming officials and scholars sacrificed themselves for the revivalist cause. The first gallery in this exhibition highlights some of these martyrs, notably Ni Yuanlu (1593-1644) and Huang Daozhou (1585-1646), whose highly acclaimed paintings and calligraphies reveal their noble characters through both their choice of subject matter and expressively daring styles.
The Yellow Mountain and Nanjing Regional Schools
The next two galleries focus on two of the most important centers of loyalist artistic activity: Nanjing and the rugged wilderness environs of Yellow Mountain (Huang Shan). The two served as complementary poles in the long-established urban-rural continuum of Chinese life, as city dwellers and rural residents alike found in landscape depictions a quintessential reflection of enduring cultural and moral values. Among the works on view are masterpieces by Zhang Feng (act. ca. 1628-1668), Kuncan (1612-1673), and Gong Xian (1619-1689), three of the leading loyalist artists active in Nanjing, as well as two iconic images by Hongren (1616-1663), the patriarch of the Yellow Mountain School.
Guangdong Artists
A major focus of the collection is loyalist artists from the Guangdong region in southwestern China. On view are works by Kuang Lu (1604-1650), Zhang Mu (1607-1687), and other Guangdong artists who were either martyrs during the dynastic transition or active participants in the ensuing resistance movement.
Monk Painters
Two of the greatest artists of the early Qing period, Bada Shanren (or Zhu Da, 1626-1705) and Shitao (1642-1707)both descendants of the Ming imperial house who became Buddhist monks to escape persecutionare the focus of a large gallery devoted to works by monk artists. Bada cultivated a deeply personal style in both landscape and flower-and-bird painting with abbreviated enigmatic imagery that suggests a deeply troubled mental state. Shitao, a sophisticated theorist as well as a versatile artist, relied upon direct observation of nature as well as his great technical facility with brush and ink to create the most original landscape style of the 17th century.
Jiangsu and Zhejiang Artists
The final galleries of the exhibition presents major works by masters working in the traditional artistic centers of Suzhou and Hangzhou. Among the Suzhou painters, Huang Xiangjian (1609-1673) is represented by a remarkable album that chronicles his perilous 1,400-mile journey from Suzhou to Yunnan and Guizhou Provinces in search of his parents. Among the paintings by Zhejiang artists working near the old Song capital of Hangzhou, a mammoth 12-panel set of landscapes of the four seasons by the professional master Lan Ying is a tour de force of painterly craft.
The works featured in the exhibition were collected in the 1950s and 1960s by the late Hong Kong collector Ho Iu-kwong (He Yaoguang, 1907-2006), who named his studio the Chih Lo Lou or "Hall of Supreme Bliss." The collection is now held in a non-profit public entity administered by Mr. Ho's descendents.
In conjunction with the exhibition, a variety of education programs will be offered, including gallery talks and a Sunday at the Met lecture program (September 18), during which noted historians will discuss art, culture, and dissent in Chinese history.
In New York, The Art of Dissent in 17th-Century China: Masterpieces of Ming Loyalist Art from the Chih Lo Lou Collection is curated by Maxwell K. Hearn, Douglas Dillon Curator in Charge; with Shi-yee Liu, Research Associate, both of the Metropolitan Museum's Department of Asian Art. Exhibition design is by Michael Langley, Exhibition Design Manager; graphics are by Kamomi Solidum, Associate Graphic Designer; and lighting is by Clint Ross Coller and Richard Lichte, Lighting Design Managers, all of the Museum's Design Department.

When I was a kid, our family would sit down on a Friday night to watch The Muppet Show.
With fantastic characters and a profound absence of ego, The Muppet Show was brilliant. Quickly adapting to whatever was happening in the world, it was the pinnacle of pop culture - with quirky humor diverse enough to have both kids and adults laughing out loud.
The Muppets were immortal.
When I was 11, I read everything I could get my hands on about Jim Henson. The guy was amazing. A visionary who used a turquoise ladies' coat with two ping pong balls to create Kermit. I was 10 when he died. Like Walt Disney, Steve Jobs and Richard Branson - Jim Henson is one of the people I look to for inspiration. His magical creations expanded my world.
Naturally when I became a father I wanted my kids to experience the magic for themselves. I tried to get my boys to watch The Muppet Movie or YouTube'd episodes of The Muppet Show - but like all good pop culture which beautifully represents its time period - it didn't translate quite as well for today.
So when when I heard that there was a new Muppet movie being made (one for today), I was thrilled! This would be my chance to introduce them to what had been a source of so many good times through my childhood.
Thanksgiving Day we were front row for the morning showing. It would be our first time at the movie theatre with all 4 of us. Erica and I sat, popcorn in hand, watching our kids mesmerized… Laughing through slapstick moments and smiling at characters I knew and loved. They left the theatre singing Mahna Mahna, do do do do do.
But as much as they enjoyed it - I realized that it was made for me.
See I left the theatre surprised. I was surprised by how moved I was by it all. I was surprised at the emotion brought on by the Muppet Show intro song and by Kermit singing The Rainbow Connection. Call it childhood memories or nostalgia, but I was flooded with memories - memories of drawings I had done as a kid, memories of plays I had put on with my brother and sister, memories of books I'd read and many good times.
I spent the rest of the afternoon thinking about why it impacted me so much and realized that the mad and wonderful world of the Muppets, had played a huge part in seeding my imagination and with it my passion for creating. It was a forgotten driver of Fuel, Carbon and Tinder.
I listened to the Rainbow Connection and its words reminded me of that unknown something that we chase in life - that 'something' that entrepreneurs seem to have more than a normal share of. That thing that keeps us moving, searching and creating - even without a clear path - a sort of optimistic faith that 'one day I'll find it' - like a sailor called by the sea to discover new places.
So thanks Mr. Henson. I wonder if you had any idea that your characters would inspire a generation.. Maybe a couple of them, to look for the amazing.
And if not a generation… at least the lovers, the dreamers - And me!
The Rainbow Connection
Why are there so many songs about rainbows and what's on the other side? Rainbows are visions, but only illusions, and rainbows have nothing to hide. So we've been told and some choose to believe it. I know they're wrong, wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection. The lovers, the dreamers and me.
Who said that every wish would be heard and answered when wished on the morning star? Somebody thought of that and someone believed it. Look what it's done so far. What's so amazing that keeps us star gazing and what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection. The lovers, the dreamers and me.
All of us under its spell. We know that it's probably magic.
Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices? I've heard them calling my name. Is this the sweet sound that called the young sailors. The voice might be one and the same. I've heard it too many times to ignore it. It's something that I'm supposed to be.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection. The lovers, the dreamers and me.
I keep a record of days like today so that one day when I look back, I can talk authoritatively about being discouraged, stressed and having every fiber of my being yelling at me to quit.. and pushing forward anyway.
One of the things I am most grateful for in this life, is that I have a Wife who allows me to dream… and dreams with me!
A couple of months back I forced myself to catch up on the three 60 minutes reruns I had saved on the DVR while travelling.
As someone regularly bombarded with editorial content, 60 minutes remains one of my favorite weekly escapes and is journalistic storytelling at its absolute best. (I have even been known to require our editors to watch certain episodes)
One of the segments covered the amazing work done by famous primate researcher and conservationist, Jane Goodall, the chimp lady. For those of you who aren't familiar with her story, you can check her out here and here.
In short, as a young shy 26 year old, Jane left for Tanzania Africa on her own, and without collegiate training directing her research, lived with chimpanzees. It was here that Goodall observed things that were overlooked by science and discovered much of what we know about them today, including the fact that they have complex emotions like us.. They love, laugh, cry an even hate.
Regardless of the 'hype' surrounding the story I couldn't help but be intrigued by the facts of what got her there….
These were: Shy girl. Left her home to go to a foreign country and meager conditions. Lived alone for over 20 years. Ridiculed by scientific minds of the day. Beaten and left for dead by chimps… and has spent the remainder of her life involved in her passion
The more I have looked, the more examples I find. Great things only happen when people go to dramatic lengths and live dramatic lives. A regular, safe, socially conformist life never seems to have the impact necessary to make an impact on this world.
Even in my early teens I was enamored by marketing, I think I was fifteen when I decided that my career should involve the positioning of products and brands. Im sure I thought I sounded like a genius telling people this. The truth is, I've always enjoyed packaging information in different ways and seeing if I can get one group to buy into something that might be less interesting if presented differently, evolving or changing a description to find common interest points.
In one of my first memories involving a pitch, I must have been around 10yrs old. My sister was saving for a her grade six backpacking trip and had recruited us to sell badges made on Dads 'badge machine' to help her raise the $200 she needed. The occasion coincided with an annual horse race called the Melbourne Cup, an event similar to the Kentucky derby. So we photocopied and colored images of horses and put them in the badge-making machine.
I remember strategizing with my brother as we would offer a badge to one person, then try variations on the offer as we went person to person. After a while I got pretty good at knowing what the story should be based on the surroundings. If they were a senior group it was 'buy a badge for your grandkids', if they were a couple it was 'buy a badge for your sweetheart', if they were from out of town it was 'buy a souvenir badge'. There was always some way to make the purchase of the badge make sense. The day was a huge success and my sister got to go on the school camping trip.
I muse every now and then as I prepare a proposal or a pitch at how the process doesnt vary too much from my badge selling experience. Effective pitching is centered around the notion of presenting a message that touches on the points which are relevant to the reciever. The major differences between a good and bad pitch are how it is received, not how it is given.
Thats why pitching should be flexible. In the same way your audience varies each time you present, so should the pitch.
Our 4 year old, (Grayson) noticed his 1 year old brother (Ronin) holding a new toy car. "Mum, can I have a car like Ronin?" he asked. "Ronin got the car because he had to have 6 shots at the doctors today" Mum explained. Never one to miss out, he came back with, "Let's go to the Dr's so I can get a car?" Hoping to close the case on what might become an issue, Erica replied, "Sure… if you want 6 shots." Weighing out the question for a moment he replied "hmmm… So what can I get for no shots?" … I was rolling in laughter when Erica told me this story. You'd have to know Gray to enjoy it as much as I did, but it suffices to say that he is alway trying to figure out how stuff works. I thought a lot about his reply for the next week. Don't we all wish we could get our 'toy car' without our 'shots'?! I was also intrigued by what was a great step in logical process for Gray. That is the 'process' of determining value. In his typically inquisitive way, Gray was trying to weigh out whether the 6 shots represented good value. He now knew what 6 shots would get him… The toy car! (Which granted is really cool), but what if 'no shots' got him something… maybe a plastic ring (which he really has a thing for). This would have substantially reduced the 'return on investment' which those shots would have offered! … Toy Car image by bending light
After 3 years of frustration with our advertising options at Fuel, Adelle and I are really excited to launch Carbon Ads, an ad network focused on targeted groups of readers.
Under development for over a year, we built the custom ad platform around the concept of Circles, hand-picked groups of quality advertisers and publishers.
We decided that we could improve the experience for viewers/readers by keeping the readership groups hyper focused and only allowing relevant, interesting ads to be shown. In this way, readers value ads as helpful recommendations and advertisers get the highest possible return for their ad buy.
We leave the gate with publishers in Design, Coding/Dev, Photography and Art/Culture with more circles planned soon.
Check it out here.

Bebida Beverage Co. helps consumers sip and relax
More than 55 percent of the world population is suffering from some type of anxiety, stress or sleep disorder, according to Statesville, N.C.-based Bebida Beverage Co. (BeBevCo).
Vita Coco's new line embraces its inner child
As a father to a 2-year-old daughter and an 11-month-old son, Vita Coco Co-Founder Michael Kirban was concerned about the number of artificial, sugary drinks marketed to children.
I've got a golden soda
In Roald Dahl's 1964 children's novel "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," Charlie is a poor boy with big dreams. Although his dreams come true in the end, finding the golden ticket inside a Wonka Bar was no easy feat for him. In today's world of social media, however, contests like the one Charlie won have become a little easier.
Forklifts help lighten the load
In the game of Jenga, players have to be nimble in order to keep the wooden tower from collapsing. In a beverage warehouse, forklift operators must possess this same quality for a more serious purpose — transporting product without causing damage. And just like Jenga, in the game of material handling, every move counts.
Beverage-makers incorporate sweet, spicy and savory flavors
Although flavor-of-the-month programs often can be found in ice cream shops, alcohol beverages might be taking a cue from the channel.
Convenience stores enhance the speedy shopping experience
Thirty years ago, many consumers had a negative perception OF buying food at a gas station.
Botanicals take beverages back to nature
In the United States, instant gratification has become commonplace thanks to technologies like smartphones and the Internet, but functional drinks also are making it a staple in the beverage industry.
Getting consumers to chill out
I think most people can agree that being told to relax or calm down during a heated conversation can be a bit enraging.

As Farmington Hills, Mich.-based Living Essentials LLC's 5 Hour Energy brand suggests in its advertising, "that 2:30 feeling" can be difficult for many consumers to overcome. In fact, that mid-afternoon slump, or "post-lunch dip," is a natural part of humans' internal clock, which creates the urge to sleep approximately seven hours after waking, according to a 2007 New York Times article.

Shhhh. You can't hear it or see it but it's almost finished. The plans were made long ago and now are being implemented. The right people have been prepared and put in place. The electorate has been properly initiated and satiated. We've made both monster and fool out of the previous occupant of the White House. Now the Champion of the People has arrived. And with just one more election to win the plans will reach fruition. And what do I call this? A silent coup.
With the help of the major media outlets, the Democratic Party has completed its "Hope and Change" strategy and is setting up its "Big Government" utopia for all. The eradication of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, the ultimate prize in this strategy, has also been given an extra boost by some in the Republican Party that care more about their careers than the country.
Call me crazy, but if Congress can't put oversight on the Executive Branch and we appoint Supreme Court Justices by ideology instead of how they enforce the Founding Documents, The Great Experiment has been brought to an end from within. If you want the United States to survive as a free country, a free Republic, do not allow the coupe to be finished. Let's keep the United States, "the land of the Free, the home of the Brave"."
I wrote this in March 2012 and sad to say it was true. Since then, it has been crisis after crisis, scandal after scandal, crime after crime, treason after treason; "overload the system" as Saul Alinsky wrote in his book, "Rules For Radicals". The election was won and it's full speed ahead. It's also sad to see the politicians ignore and even contribute to the downfall of the U.S.
I can't say enough about the Benghazi Cover-up; how four Americans were left to die and the survivors have disappeared. Or was it the Republicans and George Bush's fault? Just ask the media.

El Rafal or The Patio is a charming home located 1.5 miles south of Montezuma. It is surrounded by sandy beaches and rock formations ideal for fishing, beach-combing, and 'getting away from it all'. El Rafal faces the ocean and is encircled by beautiful tropical gardens on approximately 6150m2 of private property. There is a beautiful private beach just 50 meters from the patio. The house is located in a quiet, private area, with only 3 homes nearby. Safe, off street parking is included.
Each bedroom has a safe and en suite bath. One bedroom is furnished with a double bed and the second bedroom is furnished with a double bed and bunk beds that sleep two. Large windows allow sea breezes to circulate and cool the rooms naturally. The bedrooms are separated by a fully furnished kitchen which opens onto a large covered patio facing the ocean. The patio is the perfect for outdoor dining or simply lounging in a hammock, while creating wonderful memories with friends and family.
El Rafal is located at one of the top five destinations for fishing from shore & surfing in this area. Anglers, bring your fishing pole or learn to fish like a local with a 'carrete'. If you surf, the long left point break of Los Cedros is a favorite among tourists and locals. Cedros beach is uncrowded and perfect for swimming, sun bathing, and shelling.
A quiet river with a small waterfall that drops into a freshwater lagoon is not far from El Rafal. This clear freshwater swimming hole has a rope swing that is sure to delight children and the child within you!
The house is located between the town of Montezuma (3 kilometers south) and the tiny fishing village of Cabuya (3 kilometers north).
Montezuma has become one of 'the places' to visit in Costa Rica. It has many shops, restaurants, sodas, and artisans. Local night life happens at Chico's Bar and the Montezuma Bar. Dining in Montezuma is diverse with more than a dozen restaurants ranging from Tico 'sodas' to gourmet meals with prices and flavors to suit every budget. There is an organic market on Saturday mornings in the park. Fresh organic produce and local products including souvenirs are sold as the community gathers to visit with friends and neighbors. There are several tour offices to help you arrange deep-sea fishing, scuba diving, Tortuga Island, and horseback tours. Montezuma has a canopy zip-line tour that allows you to 'fly' over rivers and waterfalls. There is a larger waterfall and swimming hole located just before you leave Montezuma. A short 20 minute hike up the river will take you to the falls.
Cabuya is a tiny fishing village where one can get to know real Ticos. Tourism has not made many changes here. Cabuya's cemetery is located on an uninhabited island that is accessible from the mainland only during low tide. The island is beautiful and some of the best snorkeling in the area is found in the waters off the island. Cabuya is close to the Cabo Blanco Absolute Natural Preserve, which is a must see for nature lovers.
It is not absolutely necessary to rent a car while you stay at El Rafal. It is about a 30 minute walk to Montezuma and about 45 minutes to Cabuya. There are local taxis and a bus that runs daily.

Leanne was a wonderful host, and the house was a great jungle escape! Leanne was easy to contact for questions before and during our stay, and we had fresh coffee waiting at the house for us when we arrived. The house is about a 20-30 minute walk from the town of Montezuma, but in a beautiful area with nobody to disturb our stay. The open kitchen setup was great for cooking family style meals, we spent a lot of time around the big patio table enjoying the many birds and lizards that are all around the house. Definitely recommended!
El Rafal is by far the best place we stayed in Costa Rica -- we went to Arenal, Monteverde, and other beaches on the Nicoya Peninsula, which were nowhere near as funky/nice and it was only $10 more per person a night!
The set up of the house is really cool: all situated around the front porch. The kitchen is open, and the two bedrooms are located at either end of the house. I wouldn't recommend this place for families with young children, but it would be perfect for couples or groups of adults looking for a breezy, simple, outdoor-oriented space.
There was really good coffee in the pantry and a bottle of wine waiting for us upon arrival. Leanne drove us to the place and walked us around the property -- she's a great host! Very communicative, warm, knowledgeable and gave us some great suggestions for things to do in the area.
The beaches are rocky here, but you can find some sandy spots not too far from El Rafal. Highly recommended.
We had a great time @ the house. It was comfortable and quiet and the shoreline is stunningly beautiful (not the best for swimming but there is a river close by that was nice). Leanne was gracious and very helpful.
Leanne is such a nice and smiling person! She gave us good tips for activities to do around. The walk to the waterfalls nearby is worth it; very refreshing! The fish from Cabuya (she recommanded us to buy it fresh from the fisherman, a neat idea!) was absolutely delicious! Montezuma town is beautiful and pleasant. We enjoyed our stay at El Rafal, our nights spent on the patio playing cards while the babies were already sleeping, and the activities we could do around. Our only regret: we couldn't surf during our stay; the waves being too strong and dangerous, the surf lessons were cancelled for the week... El Rafal was our best accomodation expérience so far with Air B&B in Costa Rica. We would definitely come back to El Rafal in a further trip in Costa Rica!
I had a wonderful stay at El Rafal. A beautiful house equipped with everything you could need. It's just a short drive or 20 minute walk from the town of Montezuma with a beautiful beach steps from the front porch.
Leanne was extremely friendly and helpful. 5 stars!!

All of these are approximate figures, and the current figures especially so. The 1881 census figures are correct for what was recorded on the census, but we don't really know how accurate it was. At least, though the 1881 figures won't change, as it's a snapshot of a point in time. The current figures, by contrast, are variable according to births, deaths, migration and marriages, so the values shown here are only a best approximation to whatever was the case when the underlying data was collated and will not be the same as whatever the values are right now. 'N/A' indicates that we don't have data for this name in that country or time (usually because it's quite uncommon there and our stats don't go down that far). It doesn't mean that there's no-one there with that name at all! For less common surnames, the figures get progressively less reliable the fewer holders of that name there are. This data is aggregated from several public lists, and some stats are interpolated from known values. The margin of error is well over 100% at the rarest end of the table! It's possible for a surname to gain in rank and/or total while being less common per million people (or vice versa) as there are now more surnames in the UK as a result of immigration. In mathematical terms, the tail has got longer, with a far larger number of less common surnames. |

A very happy makar sankranti!
The other day while chatting over the phone with my mom, we were discussing about the different types of pithe, how they are made and the difficulty levels. She was saying that how she used to be busy on this day making pithe for everyone's liking. I did not like pithe until I grew up and started loving the puli pithe and she would at least make once for me though it took so much time from her busy schedule. Now my brother and I are both away from home, she has lost her motivation to make pithe and only makes the one my baba loves.… Read the rest

Thanks Alycia. My middle schoolers love the baby name books too. I usually read them Sandra Cisneros' short piece My Name. I have a questionnaire and a family interview as well. We also do the meaning of their name and its origin. I like the idea of the popularity of certain names in different years. Great connection to math. We also type out and it helps assess skills for the future and then I print them and they decorate with a pic that represents the meaning. We will do acrostic poems from their names during our descriptive. I ask them to find an adjective our character trait that goes with each letter.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Governor Chafee, a Republican-turned independent, expressed frustration on Wednesday at his former party for the lack of a congressional deal so far to avert the so-called "sequester," which is widely expected to take effect Friday.
"The election is over. The president won. There is a time to fight and a time to move the country forward," he said of Republicans at an unrelated event at the Community College of Rhode Island in Warwick on Wednesday morning.
Like other governors, Chafee also voiced concern about the potential impact of the federal budget cuts to Rhode Island's slowly recovering economy.
"This is the wrong way to conduct business in the country, just when we are trying to get our economy going and invest in education, transportation and infrastructure and workforce development," he said. "To have cuts in these areas just doesn't make sense."

The United States has found 500 chemical weapons in Iraq since 2003, and more weapons of mass destruction are likely to be uncovered, two Republican lawmakers said Wednesday.
General Tom Mcinerney is reporting on Fox Hannity and Colmes right now that that the administration has been keeping this low profile to avoid exposing 3 of the 5 members of the UN Security council; Russia, China, and France. McInerney says these weapons will be traced to these countries, and asserts it is well known that Russia helped Saddam move most of his WMD stockpiles out of Iraq before the war.
The U.S. military announced in 2004 in Iraq that several crates of the old shells had been uncovered and that they contained a blister agent that was no longer active. Neither the military nor the White House nor the CIA considered the shells to be evidence of what was alleged by the Bush administration to be a current Iraqi program to make chemical, biological and nuclear weapons.Last night, intelligence officials reaffirmed that the shells were old and were not the suspected weapons of mass destruction sought in Iraq after the 2003 invasion.
Joe:Except to show that Saddam hadn't complied with the relevant UN Resolutions concerning WMD Disarmament. That might be of some value to note...
The 2004 Duelfer Report claimed that "a small number of old, abandoned chemical munitions have been discovered", but nevertheless "ISG judges that Iraq unilaterally destroyed its undeclared chemical weapons stockpile in 1991."
1. "trace" WMD's found in Iraq, 2. Saddam's recorded use of them on his own citizens, 3. the progress made lately towards the tyrant's court-ordered execution, and 4. the nexus between his regime and Islamic terrorist organizations.
When WMD's aren't "WMD's" anymore, then faddish equivocation has graduated to dangerous derangement.
The stuff "found" by Santorum and Hoekstra is ridiculously small beer, compared to the weapons Saddam was allegedly stockpiling. President Bush in 2003 didn't warn of "500 munitions" of degraded weapons. He rattled the country with talk of "upwards of 30,000 munitions capable of delivering chemical agents" and "the materials to produce as much as 500 tons of sarin, mustard and VX nerve agent." And, of course, the administration stoked fears about Saddam seeking nuclear technology, which like the tons of poisons he could pass on to terrorists. Digging up a few hundred decade-old poisons and hyping them as "Saddam's WMD" is the definition of pathetic, and it's only fooling the usual suspects.
What McInerney said on Hannity and Colmes is that although the mustard gas has degraded completely, it's still possible that the serin has not.
David Weigel atHit 'n Run:The stuff "found" by Santorum and Hoekstra is ridiculously small beer, compared to the weapons Saddam was allegedly stockpiling. President Bush in 2003 didn't warn of "500 munitions" of degraded weapons. He rattled the country with talk of "upwards of 30,000 munitions capable of delivering chemical agents" and "the materials to produce as much as 500 tons of sarin, mustard and VX nerve agent."

Digging up a few hundred decade-old poisons and hyping them as "Saddam's WMD" is the definition of pathetic, and it's only fooling the usual suspects. Read the whole thing.
Jon/Rosensteel they count as WMD's because they ARE WMD's
and they demonstrate a failure to comply with the required UN Resolutions.
That did NOT occur, but this demonstrates that "Bush LIED" isn't even Bush was wrong... merely that Bush misCOUNTED...
But he DID lie, Rosensteel, he declared that he had complied.... 500 munitions is NOT an accounting error.
how much is 500 munitions?Not much.A M-109 howitzer can hold around 40 or so (don't remember the exact number, shame on me) 155mm artillery shells.You have 6 in an artillery battery so that makes for 240 shells.An artillery group (three batteries) would henceforth require about 720 shells just to load up once.Obviously you can expect your typical wartime artillery group to have to reload a couple times so 500 is really peanuts in the grand scheme of artillery warfare.
They were LOST... Rosensteel you must be KIDDING right? Just because WE FOUND them, doesn't mean they were lost. They may have been hidden, but from the UN/US, not the Iraqi regime...
you don't know that they were all degraded
The fact that he had a poor manufacturing process for chemical weapons does NOT absolve him of being in violation.
Hussein lied when he said I got rid of them all. He was supposed to destroy ALL stocks of WMD's.
(1) The '90 - '91 war never ended there was a cease fire contingent on Iraq living up to certain agreements, Iraq didn't. (2) The '90 and '98 Congressional authorizations for the use of force resolutions were still in effect.(3) A new use of force resolution ('02) was passed by Congress.Under both the Constitution of the United States and the United Nations Charter Bush's actions were and continue to be legal.
If we wish to take international law and the institutions that make that law seriously, we must enforce the resolutions and statutes thereby created. Otherwise UN Resolutions are not worth the paper they are printed on.
"The area in the south and the west and the north that coalition forces control is substantial. It happens not to be the area where weapons of mass destruction were dispersed. We know where they are. They're in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north somewhat."
"You said you knew where they were." "I did not. I said I knew where 'suspect' sites were."
Of course the war was not legal. Neither 678, 687 nor 1441 authorized war.
Okay, so how many shells count as WMD's? Please, I think we need an exact number from the critics at this point. 1,000? 5,000?
Once again, to justify his approach to politics and near history, Jon must be tenditious to the point of lying.
"I would say that somewhere between 95% and 99.9% of the administration's WMD claims do not stand valid as to date."
"The latest WMD eruption is making waves, but it's a lot less consequential than it might at first appear."
So are you saying that if Iraq had had WMDs as originally thought, it wouldn't have justified war, either by itself or in conjunction with the other reasons?
"I'm not interested in helping you puzzle out new angles about which I did not write."
The least they represent is an abject failure of the Saddam regime to keep track of its WMDS as required by UN Security Council resolutions
Why on earth do you think there's any significance to these being found off and on since 2003 instead of all in one batch?
"How can it keep track of WMDs, as per the post Gulf-War agreements, that were lost long before those agreements were ever made? This is basically an ex-post facto expectation, and is entirely unreasonable."
"Because they are obviously left-behind battlefield waste, rather than any sort of deliberate attempt to maintain stockpiles in violation of international demands. Thats a rather signifigant caveat."
The shells were buried and forgotten 15+ years ago, probably during the 1980s. Iraq wasn't "keeping them", they had forgotten their existence entirely.
The ISG Report covered all this. Some chemical weapons shells were found and more were likely to turn up as time went on, but that's not what we were going there to find. Better we find it than leave it, but let's not make this out to be something more than it is.
How can it keep track of WMDs, as per the post Gulf-War agreements, that were lost long before those agreements were ever made? This is basically an ex-post facto expectation, and is entirely unreasonable.
Because they are obviously left-behind battlefield waste, rather than any sort of deliberate attempt to maintain stockpiles in violation of international demands. Thats a rather signifigant caveat.
Isn't this a supposition on your part? You and others assume that they were buried and forgotten....How do you know they were long lost?
I read somewhere that it only took 10 - 15 shells of Mustard / Sarin Gas for Saddam to kill 5000 people.
The CW attack began early in the evening of March 16th, when a group of eight aircraft began dropping chemical bombs, and the chemical bombardment continued all night. According to Kurdish commanders on the scene, there were 14 aircraft sorties during the night, with seven to eight planes in each group, and they concentrated their attack on the city and all the roads leading out of Halabja. The chemical attacks continued until the 19th. Iraqi planes would attack for about 45 minutes and then, after they had gone, another group would appear 15 minutes later.
They do prove that Saddam was lying about destroying all their stocks.
Even if these are simply lost chemical weapons - isn't that disconcerting that there is an untold number laying around waiting for someone to find.
Rosensteel :Artillery shells were not used in the chemical offensive against the Kurds. The munitions were dropped by aircraft
The Iraqi assault against the Kurds involved munitions delivered via aircraft, in 8 aircraft groups, in repeated sorties lasting for days. We are talking about much more than a few artillery shells being dropped onto Halabja.
Whew. For a second there I thought that 500 chemical artillary shells could be dangerous.
* Since 2003 Coalition forces have recovered approximately 500 weapons munitions which contain degraded mustard or sarin nerve agent. * Despite many efforts to locate and destroy Iraq's pre-Gulf War chemical munitions, filled and unfilled pre-Gulf War chemical munitions are assessed to still exist. * Pre-Gulf War Iraqi chemical weapons could be sold on the black market. Use of these weapons by terrorists or insurgent groups would have implications for Coalition forces in Iraq. The possibility of use outside Iraq cannot be ruled out. * The most likely munitions remaining are sarin and mustard-filled projectiles. * The purity of the agent inside the munitions depends on many factors, including the manufacturing process, potential additives, and environmental storage conditions. While agents degrade over time, chemical warfare agents remain hazardous and potentially lethal. * It has been reported in open press that insurgents and Iraqi groups desire to acquire and use chemical weapons.
But chemical weapons are by far the least problematic of WMDs in terms of mass destruction and they have a relatively short shelf-life, at that.

Queen Elizabeth is furious at the production delays of her new coin. To escape her bad temper, Lady Grace and her fellow Maids of Honour skate down the frozen River Thames to the eagerly anticipated Frost Fair. But a gruesome discovery on the ice–a dead man with coins covering his eyes–interrupts the winter revelry. As the Queen's Lady Pursuivant, Grace must unravel the mystery.
Uncover a dangerous world of counterfeiting and corruption inside the private daybooke of Lady Grace, the queen's favorite Maid of Honour.
All miscreants and ill-thinkers, keep out! The Lady Grace Mysteries come to us from the most privy and secret daybooke of Lady Grace Cavendish, Maid of Honour to her Gracious Majesty, Queen Elizabeth I of that name.

Chapter One
The Twenty-third Day of November, in the Year of Our Lord 1569
The Queen's Presence Chamber-after breakfast
I have a new daybooke and I cannot wait to begin writing in it! I am determined to keep this book neat
and tidy with my best lettering throughout-and not make it look as if a drunken spider has crawled over
I am seated on a cushion with the other Maids of Honour in the Queen's Presence Chamber awaiting Her
Majesty's arrival. She is busy with matters of state. We have a huge fire, for it has been mightily cold this
last week. Indeed, the river Thames itself has frozen! The ice is thick enough to walk on and everyone is
talking about the Frost Fair that has been set up on the frozen water near the landing steps to the Inns
of Court. It is so exciting! We hope to visit today, when Her Majesty has finally finished with boring state
Outside, the ice and frost look very inviting, but inside it is gloomy and we have much need of candles.
The other Maids are working at their embroidery and Mrs. Champernowne, Mistress of the Maids, is
scowling at me for not doing the same. She looks ready to pounce the instant I make the tiniest ink blot
upon my kirtle. But she dare not chide me too much, as Her Majesty herself gave me this daybooke and
my fine quills and ink bottle. Ha, ha, Mrs. Champernowne!
The Queen is my favourite person in the whole world. She has taken me under her wing and often shows
me great kindness, because-

Hell's teeth! I have nearly spoiled my book already. I had to duck from a flying cushion. It would seem that

Fishing in Yellowstone National Park
Anglers flock to Yellowstone beginning the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend, when fishing season begins. By the time the season ends in November, thousands have found a favorite spot along the park's rivers and streams. Native cutthroat trout are one of the prize catches, but four other varieties—brown, brook, lake, and rainbow—along with grayling and mountain whitefish inhabit Yellowstone's waters. Popular sportfishing opportunities include the Gardner and Yellowstone rivers as well as Soda Butte Creek, but the top fishing area in the region is Madison River, known to fly fishermen throughout the country.
Yellowstone fishing permits are required for people over age 16. Montana and Wyoming fishing permits are not valid in the park. Yellowstone fishing permits cost $15 for a three-day permit, $20 for a seven-day permit, or $35 for a season permit. Anglers ages 12 to 15 must have a (nonfee) permit or fish under direct supervision of an adult with a permit. Anglers younger than 12 don't need a permit but must be with an adult who knows the regulations. Permits are available at all ranger stations, visitor centers, and Yellowstone general stores.
Outfitter and Expeditions
Xanterra Parks & Resorts. The park concessionaire Xanterra Parks & Resorts offers 2- to 12-hour guided Yellowstone Lake fishing charters for up to six passengers per boat; gear is included. Grand Loop Rd., 2 miles south of Lake Village, Bridge Bay, Yellowstone National Park, WY. 307/344–7311. www.xanterra.com/what-we-do/activities/. $88/hr. Mid-June–early Sept.

Book Description:"Occasionally, there comes along a popular science book that both scientists and non-scientist can read with pleasure and profit, and this is one."—The New YorkerDevoted to sharing their own delight and awe before the fundamental mysteries of the cosmos, Frank Wilczek (winner of the 2004 Nobel Prize in Physics) and science writer Betsy Devine also have a serious purpose: to reveal to the lay reader how a heightened perception can respond to timeless themes of the physical universe. For example, they show that even the most exotic theories always confirm that physical laws are precisely the same throughout the universe, and they explain how we have learned that the most massive molten stars and the tiniest frozen particles are in physical harmony. In their descriptions of the workings of the half-known universe, Wilczek and Devine bring all of us face to face with the beauty of eternal order and the inevitability of rational ends and beginnings.

Th 350 & 283 compatible?
Hello all,
i just joined up and have an engine and trans. that i do not know if they are compatible. i've got the chance to buy a 1965 283 high torque V8 that originally had a 3 speed manual and i want to know if a later TH 350 trans and flex plate will bolt up. Mainly don't know if the flex plate bolt pattern will match the 283 crank bolt pattern.
Anyone got a thought for me on this?
Thanks, 71 Longbed
04-09-2012, 01:28 AM #2I'm almost sure it will considering the production of the 350 Turbo began in 63 or 64. If the flex plate doesn't match for either of them, then there are plenty of companies that make conversion kits for it to work.

04-09-2012, 08:01 AM #3Welcome to the GMTC, I don't know about your engine but it is good to have you aboard.
04-09-2012, 08:22 AM #4It will work just fine. You just have to make sure your flexplate will match the starter and torque convertor bolt pattern. Flexplates are cheap and easy to find. Just make sure the flexplate is for an 85 down engine. 86 went to one piece rear seal.
04-09-2012, 10:14 AM #5Yep it'll match up.
When it came to GM small blocks they made them compatable with almost everything.
Many 283's came with the 2 spd auto which was a great drag racing trans, but for those that were doing more street cruising the swap to a TH350 was the popular way to go.
I've even seen a 700R4 behind a 283 in "T" bucket.

text: I've gotten to the point where I hate reading the sports news. No, not because "my team" isn't doing well, but rather, what's been happening in college sports. Over the past couple of years, it seems like there's been an unending series of stories about conference "realignment." Yes, it's happening again, as Maryland, Rutgers, and Louisville all are getting ready to jump from their respective current conferences to new ones. The reason? Money.
