Topic: Pied Beauty
What is Gerard Manley Hopkins praising?
Reread "Pied Beauty"
Glory be to God for dappled things -
For skies of couple-colour as a brindled cow;
For rose-moles in all stipple upon trout that swim;
Fresh-firecoals chestnut-falls; finches' wings;
Landscape plotted and pieced - fold, fallow, and plough;
And áll trádes, their gear and tackle and trim.
All things counter, original, spare, strange;
Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?)
With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim;
He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change:
Praise him.
Any help will be great, Thank you.

An Englishman who converted to Catholicism and became a Jesuit priest, Gerard Manley Hopkins begins and ends his poem with lines similar to the opening and closing lines of the Jesuit order: "To the greater glory of God," and "Praise to God always." With this prayerful arrangement of his unique sonnet, the poet praises oddity and uniqueness because all that is created has been made by God and is, therefore, worthy of this exaltation.
In the first stanza, Hopkins mentions the "pied beauty" and "dappled things" of nature as well as the fields altered by the farmer along the various trades of man, thus including man in these myriad forms of beauty. The lines
All things counter, original, spare, strange;
Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?)
point to those variegated properties which are derogated in Manley's Victorian Age as freckles were considered physical flaws, and fickleness certainly a character flaw. However, with inward fervor Hopkins praises "fickle" and "freckled"; he appreciates their uniqueness and rarity, qualities that make them all the more worthy. For, after all, God created these qualities and, while current tastes have them in disfavor, tastes will later change:
He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change:
Praise him.
Hopkins praises all that is different in nature and life because the creator of all that is pied or dappled or variegated or fickle or freckled is, in the final analysis, God "whose beauty is past change" and superior to all other standards.

In the poem, the narrator praises God for the variety of "dappled things" in nature, such as cattle, trout and fiinches. He also describes how falling chestnuts resemble coals bursting in a fire, because of the way in which the chestnuts' reddish-brown meat is exposed when the shells break against the ground.
The word "pied" in the title means spotted (or, if you prefer, dappled). This entire poem is in praise of things with spots, from trout to cows to the way the skies have spots of cloud or the fields, which are compared to a quilt: "Landscape plotted and pieced — fold, fallow and plough".
The first six lines give examples of the pied things for which Manley is offering thanks; the second stanza (of four and one half lines) expands to thank the Lord for all of the things that might fit within this category. What I like about the second stanza is its ambiguity: is Manley telling all those things that are freckled, fickle, etc. to praise God, or is he praising God for having made them? The stanza reads well both ways, and I rather think that was on purpose.
hope it helps :)

The first stanza describes specifics in nature that show a multiplicity of colours or aspects: birds, fish, cloudy skies, landscape, work. His sense of wonder at the huge variety of existence is prefaced with his personal certainty: "Glory be to God".
The second stanza speaks of generalities: "Whatever is fickle, freckled..." The poet concludes that there is one creator of all this multiplicity, the One who Himself is beyond change, because perfect. The final exhortation "Praise him" reflects the beginning of the poem.
I'm not sure this answers your question, but at least you've got some thoughts here to chew over.

Employing variations of the mottoes of the Jesuit order to which he belonged--"to the greater glory of God" and "praise to God always"--Gerald Manley Hopkins appears in his abbreviated sonnet to revere the beautiful colors and variety in nature, and by praising the beauty of nature, he praises God, the Creator. However, Hopkins hymn of praise disguises in its controlling metaphor of "pied beauty" things that do not meet the uniformity, standarization, and efficiency lauded in his Victorian age, and thus takes on a tone of protest.
In the fifth line Hopkins moves from an appreciation of variety in nature to "all trades," implying the human and moral aspect. The lines
And áll trádes, their gear and tackle and trim.
All things counter, original, spare, strange;
Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?)
With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim;
He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change: Praise Him
suggest that diversity among humans is just as beautiful as it is in nature and is created alike by God, and should, therefore be respected and appreciated. Interestingly, Hopkins applies some adjectives that were used about his poetry: "original, spare, strange." These oddities, along with his turning of "fickle" and "freckled" which normally suggest a negative judgment to a positive connotation, are used, instead, as evidence of the infinitude of God's creation.

A bill signed into law earlier this week just made life a bit more difficult for members of the Westboro Baptist Church.
President Barack Obama signed the Honoring America's Veterans and Caring for Camp Lejeune Families Act Monday, awarding a range of benefits to servicemembers, but also putting in place restrictions on protests at military funerals.
Specifically, the new law requires protests at military funerals be held at least 300 feet away and forbids protesters from blocking entrances or exits within a 500-foot radius. Moreover, new restrictions ban demonstrations from taking place during the two hours before or two hours after a funeral.
For the Westboro Baptist Church, which has become infamous for holding signs that read, among other things, "God Hates Fags" outside of military funerals and blaming American casualties as punishment for acceptance of gay people, the law is a blow to one of their favorite tactics.
Obama signed the bill into law in the Oval Office, stating, "We have a moral sacred duty to our men and women in uniform."
"The graves of our veterans are hallowed grounds," Obama added, according to a pool report.
The law comes a year after the Supreme Court ruled that the Westboro Baptist Church and their protests were protected by the First Amendment. To the concern of freedom of speech advocates, it appears these new restrictions override that ruling.
"We have some serious First Amendment concerns with the law," said Gabe Rottman, legislative counsel and policy advisor for the American Civil Liberties Union.
In an interview with Metro Weekly, Rottman said the ACLU is particularly concerned that the provision of the law appears to directly target the Westboro Baptist Church.
"The First Amendment problem with it is that it looks like it could be used to target protests that, even though they're repellent, they're still totally peaceful and they're dealing with legitimate political speech, no matter how offensive," stated Rottman.
Rottman argues that the law is not about protecting the solemnity of military funerals, which are currently protected under private property and disorderly conduct laws, but is about censoring offensive and unpopular speech.
Although the ACLU is currently litigating against a Missouri law similar to the new federal law, Rottman said it remains to be seen if the ACLU will challenge this new federal restriction.
Nevertheless, the Westboro Baptist Church, which has been labeled a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League, said the law will have no effect on their tactics.
"We are still going to be out there at soldiers' funerals warning people that America is doomed," said Steve Drain, who, with his wife and daughters, are the only members of the church not related to founder Fred Phelps.
In an interview with ABC News, Drain said their protests will continue in a "lawful fashion."
"We will stand 301 feet away. There is prime preaching real estate at 301 feet," stated Drain. "My voice can carry a lot farther than 300 feet. That is only the size of a football field."
When Congress approved the bill last week, church members were vehement in their opposition.
Fred Phelps's daughter, Margie, responded to initial reports of the bill's passage, tweeting, "Smile. Let's see where God takes this, k? #FagsStillDoomNations."

We have ordered food for delivery from most of the 'usual suspects', but Ocado beat all the others on customer care hands down.
Very rarely items are missing, they always keep you informed of when to expect your delivery, and what items are missing in advance (which is rare), so that you can decide whether or not you want their alternative selection.
The delivery people are always polite and courteous. And the bag labelling system is 2nd to none!
Highly recommended.
I was horrified to find a parcel from Amazon left outside my back door in the pooring rain. The weight of the water had collapsed the box and the rain had got all inside the parcel ruining everything inside!!!

Blizzard Warnings In Upper Midwest; Possible Tornado In Alabama
Originally published on Thu December 20, 2012 11:26 am
A winter storm that has brought blizzard conditions to parts of the Upper Midwest from Iowa into Minnesota and Wisconsin has authorities urging folks to stay off the roads and airlines warning of flight delays at Chicago's O'Hare and other airports in the region.
The Weather Channel, which has named the storm Draco, says heavy snow and strong winds will continue in the area through Thursday night. And after it finishes with the Upper Midwest, "Draco will sweep through the East Coast with rain and wind while turning on the lake-effect snow machine in the Great Lakes," the channel says.
The Des Moines Register reports today that crews are working to clear roads in the city, "but driving conditions remain difficult, officials said. Various measurements around the Des Moines area show between nine and 13 inches of snow accumulation and high winds are making it difficult to clear, officials said."
Wisconsin Public Radio says "heavy snowfall is expected in much of the state" and that Gov. Scott Walker (R) has declared a state of emergency. It adds that "Todd Pritchard, a spokesman with Wisconsin Emergency Management, says the storm may make travel virtually impossible in much of southern Wisconsin."
As Korva wrote Wednesday, this is the first major winter storm of the season for much of the nation.
Far to the south, around Mobile, Ala., a "line of severe storms has moved through the region, bringing high winds, rain, tornado watches and warnings," AL.com reports.

What if the boosters from Auburn, Southern Cal, UNC, Miami, Penn State, Ohio State, Tennessee, Texas, Miss State, Ole Miss, and others all put their resources together and decided that the NCAA should go away? If you can win a Presidential election with Florida, Texas, California, Pennsylvania, Mississippi, Alabama, North Carolina, Tennessee and maybe a few others, why can't the power in those states rid the world of the NCAA? Can the conferences not police themselves?
The NCAA doesn't make money on football. It's cash cow is the NCAA basketball tournament. I think we can all agree that college basketball is the dirtiest sport on the planet, but ironically the NCAA has gone after football programs. Given the recent move to a BCS playoff and the changes going on in the football world I don't find it strange that the NCAA is attacking football first. It's a shake down. Its essentially petty theft. A convenience store stick up. It's nothing more than a group of thugs trying to flex a little political muscle.
It's time to rethink our University's volunteer participation in this mafia-esq organization. I can rally one SEC fan base... but it's got to be bigger than that. I think enough people probably share my opinion, but the organization of influence, money, and power are the missing links. I think it's time for someone to sanction them.

What some of you need to realize is that most SEC teams bend/break the rules. I have no doubt that if we thought we had a steal in JR that we would encourage someone to make him eligible.
I am really shocked that some of you are that naive.

We aren't naive, you are naive to think that "everybody does it". The people running the Auburn football program right now are the most ethical, honest and truthful people in the HISTORY of college athletics.......and that is a FACT! There is no way there would be any involvement by our coaching/athletic dept. staff in academic fraud. It just simply wouldn't happen......ZERO chance of that!

Four people were arrested Tuesday on drug charges after police said they saw a drug transaction involving the same four less than two hours after they told police they were in town to visit a mall.
The four initially told Dayton police they were in the area to go to the mall. But police said that after finding the same vehicle an hour and 45 minutes later, at a BP station on South Edwin C. Moses Boulevard next to a Wendy's restaurant where the four were first spotted by police, the people in the van admitted they were in town to buy drugs.
The driver, 22-year-old Heather Davis, was accused of providing transport for the drug deal. She was taken to the Montgomery County Jail on two misdemeanors. She posted bond and has been released, according to jail records.
Passengers Timothy Lytle, 23; Justin Shelton, 27; and Jodi Tompkins, 19, were charged with dug possession, trafficking, possession of a drug abuse instrument, according to a police incident report. Tompkins and Lytle are in jail. Shelton was cited to court.
All of the charges involved heroin, police said.
Officers approached a dark green Dodge Caravan at about 3 a.m. and found two people in the front seat and two people asleep in the back. One officer said he noticed a soda can with what he believed was a heroin filter on top of it that he had seen used in previous drug cases.
Police ran a check and discovered Lytle has a previous arrest on drug charges, and they said that fact made them suspicious about the people in the van.
Shelton told the officers they ran out of money and were waiting to go to a bank so they could get gas money and head back to Hillsboro, which is about 56 miles southeast of Dayton. Police let them go because they found no arrest warrants for anybody in the van.
About an hour and 45 minutes later, the officers found the same van at the BP gas station and said they watched a silver sedan pull up and make a "car to car" drug transaction. The officers then stopped the van and found heroin.
According to police, Tompkins tried to conceal the drugs in the waistband of her pants and placed a syringe in her bra.
Tompkins told police Lytle paid $100 for the heroin because she and Lytle get "dope sick" if they do not use 10 to 12 caps per day.

Nations meeting at the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) approve Ecuador's proposal to list the largest living rays on CITES Appendix II
Update: March 14, 2013,
In an historic vote during the plenary session, five species of sharks and two species of manta rays will now be subject to international trade regulations, a move that could save these threatened species from collapse.
The required two-thirds of the 177 CITES member governments voted to protect these animals—the oceanic whitetip and porbeagle sharks, three species of hammerhead sharks, and the two species of manta rays—marking an increase in the number of sharks protected by CITES from three to eight species. -Ed
During the CITES meeting in Bangkok, Thailand, 178 from countries around the world met to vote on a proposal put forward by the Ecuadorian Government to protect manta rays, one of the world's largest fishes. Manta rays, which were only recognized as two distinct species in 2009, were listed for the first time by experts as globally threatened species vulnerable to extinction, in recognition of the increased threat they face around the world.
Manta rays are worth an estimated $73 million USD in direct revenue and $140 million USD to the overall marine tourism industry annually. The estimated value of a single manta ray to the eco- tourism industries of certain areas of the world over its lifetime is up to 1 million USD. However, the demand for manta ray gill rakers is on the rise and one set can fetch up to $700 USD per kilo (2.2 lbs).
Despite this, they are protected in less than a dozen range states worldwide, and as migratory species, have no protection within their larger home ranges or in international waters. Many populations of manta rays across the globe are in swift decline as a result of targeted fisheries for their gill rakers, a body part used in Chinese health tonics.
Recent research headed by Dr. Andrea Marshall, director of the Marine Megafauna Foundation and lead author of the IUCN Red List conservation assessments for manta ray species, demonstrated that manta rays have conservative life history strategies, bearing only a single offspring every 2-3 years on average in the wild.
"Manta rays are amongst the least fecund of all elasmobranch species, with extremely conservative life history traits, most notably their small litter size," said Dr. Marshall. "As low productivity species, these beautiful rays are highly vulnerable to human-induced pressures; unregulated and unsustainable fishing can quickly wipe out entire populations."
To curb increases in unsustainable fisheries for Manta species globally, particularly shifts from subsistence to trade fisheries, it is imperative that manta rays be protected at national levels and local populations managed carefully. However, this CITES listing for manta rays will provide the framework for the increased protection of remaining global populations by restricting unsustainable international trade. The CITES Appendix II listing requires at a minimum that exports be derived from sustainably-managed fisheries that are not detrimental to the status of the wild populations that they exploit.
Manta rays are not species that can afford to be exploited. A CITES Appendix II listing was desperately needed as a precautionary approach to avoid the over-exploitation of these species, according to Dr. Marshall. "Those of us studying wild populations of manta rays are seeing first hand substantial declines in their numbers across the globe. This is a real and pressing issue." The Marine Megafauna Foundation congratulates Brazil, Colombia and Ecuador for this timely proposal that will help in safeguarding these exquisite and economically important species.
In addition to the proponents of this proposal, many Range States including the European Union, Australia, United States, Mozambique and South Africa all took the floor to convey their support for the Manta proposal. South Africa used key studies from the Marine Megafauna Foundation to highlight the importance of this proposal and voiced their personal interest in the matter since they are concerned about the population they share with Mozambique. The host country, Thailand, also voiced support for the proposal. Days before, a division director of the Tourism Authority of Thailand, Mr. Vinit Rungpheung spoke publicly to the importance of manta rays to Thailand's lucrative dive tourism industry.
The global eco-tourism industry is constantly expanding and public demand for interactions with large charismatic marine species, like manta rays, is on the rise. This non-consumptive, sustainable activity directly depends on the conservation and management of vulnerable megafauna species. Revenue from tourism continues to heighten the value of individual animals. Over their lifespan, what a single manta ray is worth, is of greater magnitude to the tourism industry than its small, finite value as a fished resource.
The manta ray proposal passed receiving 80.67 percent of the vote. "This is a fantastic move in the right direction," said Dr. Marshall. "While manta rays face significant threats worldwide, there has been tremendous support and momentum for their conservation recently. The Appendix II CITES listing is a major step toward our shared goal of the global protection of these iconic species."
CITES, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora is an intergovernmental agreement signed by 178 countries. It aims to ensure that international trade does not threatened the survival of wild animals or plants in their natural habitats.
The March 11th vote marks the first international agreement to protect all species within the genus Manta, although this decision will only be formally adopted at the concluding CITES plenary on Thursday 14 March 2013.
CITES focuses only on international trade and not domestic trade or subsistence fisheries. A CITES Appendix II listing does not ban the take or international trade of manta rays, but requires that range states 1) produce a scientific assessment showing that the trade will not be detrimental to the survival of the species or regional populations and 2) demonstrate that manta rays have not be acquired against domestic law or against the provisions of the CITES convention.
There will be an 18-month delay in the implementation of the Appendix II listing for manta rays to enable Parties to resolve technical and administrative issues.
Listing on CITES promotes regional and international cooperation as exporting and importing countries are required to work together to ensure sustainable trade.
Range States with legislation prohibiting the catch and/or trade of Manta species include: New Zealand, Ecuador, the USA (Florida, Hawaii, Flower Garden Banks), Guam, Maldives, Yap, Indonesia (Raja Ampat), the Philippines and Mexico.
The Manta listing on CITES was proposed by Ecuador and co-supported by Brazil and Colombia. Conservation groups actively supporting the manta ray proposal included: Marine Megafauna Foundation, Proyecto Mantas Ecuador, PEW Environmental Group, Shark Advocates International, Project AWARE Foundation, International Fund for Animal Welfare, the Humane Society International, Wildlife Conservation Society, WildAid, Shark Savers, the Manta Trust and the Shark Trust.

Facebook's beta WANT IT button is on hold on account of a legal challenge by some small company I've never heard of that claims rights to WANT IT. Good luck.
Ebay's knock-off of the Pinterest format is widely panned.
People at Etsy are starting to complain that Pinterest traffic is scant and barely converts: [pinterest-out.blogspot.com...] and [etsy.com...]
The self-appointed Pinterest gurus urging everyone to jump on the Pinterest gravy train are soon going to find themselves out of a job when their clients realize the so-called gravy runs too thin to make it worth one's time.
With thousands of Pinterest knock-offs out there (some successful), and big-time would-be imitators like FB & Ebay, how long until people have it up the wazoo with lined-up pictures everywhere they go?
The reason so many are copying Pinterest is that the fastest way to accumulate content is by providing a crowdscraping platform. That's quite seductive for lazy webmasters.

Whether your hair is straight and limp or curly and frizzy, the stylists at The Blowout Lounge will help you achieve the look you want. A trio of working moms, each with a different hair type and a limited schedule, founded the styling studio with the goal of helping women feel their best even at their busiest. During basic styling sessions, the lounge's pros wash, condition, and style locks with Moroccanoil products. Other services range from keratin straightening treatments that control frizz and add shine to up-dos worthy of glamorous occasions or zero gravity chambers. Even lashes can leave with a new 'do after stylists adorn them with mink extensions.
The experienced stylists behind Tease Hair Studios craft sultry coiffures amid colorful tile walls and wooden floors. Certified by Wella, L'Oréal, and Bumble and bumble, these highly trained experts foster a relaxed atmosphere as they crop mops, tint tresses, and subdue frizz with keratin treatments. When they aren't performing surgery on ailing manes, they add length with extensions and twirl locks into delicate updos. Customers can access free parking across the street from the salon in Lot A, but are advised to avoid Lot H, since it is reserved for permit holders and contains 3.2 black holes.
The staff at Pinks Eyebrow Threading Salon & Spa specializes in an ancient and chemical-free technique that employs twisted organic thread to refine features. Nimble hands call upon two decades of experience as they perform cleansing facials and ornate henna tattoos. The spa's team also handcrafts wax onsite to remove unwanted body hair or prepare muppets for an upcoming beach scene.
The seasoned stylists of Lauren's Signature Salon have worked with every hair type, from ultrastraight tresses to bouncy curls. Armed with bottles of professional haircare products, stylists snip and shape new styles and frame faces with highlights. The versatile staffers also extend their beauty expertise toward a variety of facials, replenishing skin and reducing wrinkles with skin peels, microdermabrasion, and deep-cleansing treatments. They strip away unwanted fuzz with wax and expertly apply makeup to enhance lips, brighten cheeks, and conceal Disco Will Never Die tattoos.
The certified stylists at Lashful frame eyes with mink lashes to achieve looks ranging from elegant to seductive. Their uncanny attention to detail comes in handy during extension applications, when they meticulously attach each artificial lash to a real one to achieve the most natural look possible. Sensitive eyes need not wince in fear, as the adhesive material with which they apply lashes is specially formulated to not perturb the eye with harsh irritants or teasing optical illusions. The stylists also dip natural lashes in a semipermanent tint that—much like the extensions—gives eyes the glamorous look of freshly applied mascara.

Just tasted my Zombie Dust Clone. My god, the nose on this beer is so amazing (with 9.25 ounces of Citra it better be). It has only been one week since I kegged it and is not fully carbed yet. It is going to take a **** ton of will power to stay away from this one for another week. Thanks for the recipe.
Kegged: Fortunate Island American Wheat, HopUseUp DIPA and Goose Island Sofie Clone Primary: Micro IPA w/ Mosiac and Citra, Ned Flanders Red, RR Consecration on 2nd Gen Roeselare, Saison Brett Part Deux on Peaches and a Lambic patiently awaiting cherries. Next: , Founder Porter Clone, Belle Saison w/ Centennial, Cascade and Belma, Head Hunter Clone, 60 Min IPA clone.
Got silver medal at the local comp in pale ale category with this recipe! Even though I came out a little strong at 6.5%. Great beer I think I am liking it more as it ages and the flavors start blending a bit.
I was at the brewery two weeks ago. I was able to enjoy ZD on tap and also bought two cases on my way out. Today's ZD is not 100% Citra. This was confirmed by folks at the brewery. There is a strong aroma from the Citra so it's more likely they are bittering with something else....my palate suggests Columbus and using Citra as a dry hop. The key to replicating this beer is FWH to smooth the bitterness, and avoiding any hops that are piney/resinous. Avoid Simcoe or any dank hop. ZD is designed to emphasize the Citra hops balanced with a smooth bitterness. Note: of the 3 Floyds, only one is active with the brewery. The father does a little landscaping but that's it. One brother is completely disconnected from the brewery. This was also confirmed by the folks at the brewery.
My next batch I might try magnum as the 60 min addition just for bittering. It's clean and shouldn't hurt the recipe. I just want to save as much Citra as possible since it seems to be going quick this year and I only ordered a pound.
I tried waiting, but threw a bottle in the fridge after a week. It's been awhile since I had the real deal, but I think the color of mine is a little darker. But it smelled like Zombie Dust and seemed to taste pretty close as well. I tried a Summit Sága recently and could smell the Citra, so it reminded me of that as well. I'm a day away from the rest being in bottles for two weeks, and I know of a pub that may put on a keg of the real deal this week. I'm going to try to either get a growler or take a couple of bottles of mine in to do a side by side tasting. It may be put on tap on Halloween, so I may be out of luck. Thanks for the recipe. This was my third batch of homebrew. The first two were Northern Brewer kits so this was my first batch from a recipe. I have a feeling I'll be preordering a bunch of Citra soon.
Brewed this recipe 8/18/12 just starting to drink it now. Great Recipe
Anyone have any tips on clearing out the beer after the dryhop? I dryhopped in a fine mesh bag with glass marbles to keep it submerged, but the final result was hazy. I used Irish moss in the boil and use clarex to make gluten drop for my gluten sensitive wife (it does work for her)- but still got cloudy beer. Tasted fantastic though.
It'll clear, given time in bottles or a keg. You could cold crash it for a couple days of you'd like. Most dry hopped beers I've made we're cloudy at first too.

I applied to the College of Engineering and Applied Science but wasn't admitted. Can I still major in engineering?
Yes! The majority of courses first-year engineering students take are open to all CU-Boulder students. First-year students in the College of Arts and Sciences who are interested in transitioning into the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences can join the Pre-Engineering Program, offering a structured pathway of CU-Boulder course work applicable to engineering requirements as well as academic advising support from both colleges.
Students in other colleges, or students above the first-year level, are also able to apply for an intra-university transfer (IUT). See the IUT information page for details on courses you may wish to take as you get ready to apply for an IUT; within their first year, engineering students take two calculus courses and two appropriate laboratory science courses, and doing so as you prepare to transfer can help keep you on track for your engineering degree.

Having hurtled by car through the Dominican Republic to the ramshackle Haitian border, I and four other foreign journalists were desperate to reach Port-au-Prince by nightfall. So after exchanging Ramon's beaten-up taxi for the the back of a modern pickup owned by one of Haiti's elite families, our speed stresses were soon put into terrible perspective.
Just a mile or two into Haiti, a group of people stood disconsolately by the road, trying to flag down any vehicle that would stop, and pointing to the collapsed face of a nearby quarry. "There's someone inside there," one of them said, pointing to a pile of rocks.
Before we had time to even consider helping them, our car -- like all the others in the convoy -- had sped off, kicking up dust. The Haitians driving myself and four other foreign journalists into the earthquake zone took the morally nightmarish decision for us. After all, they had their own missing friends and family to find fast in Port-au-Prince.
Later in the day, after several hours winding round collapsed buildings, and corpses which at first we had mistaken for people sleeping, we found a hotel prepared to take us in. Or at least let us sleep in the open-air by the swimming pool. (The Hotel Villa Creole has generously opened its doors and facilities -- despite considerable damage -- to aid-workers and foreign reporters for free.)
As we pulled up, we were stopped by dead bodies lying in the road, and then a crowd of injured Haitians lying and sitting in front of the hotel lobby where some minimal medicines were being dispensed. As we hauled our four large boxes of drinking-water bottles out of the car, one injured lady held out her hand and asked for water. Then another, and another, and another. Perhaps mindful of the horrors of the quarry, we entered the hotel with half our water supplies gone.

Police and fire units at the ADM Milling plant on King Street in downtown Chattanooga.Photo by Todd South /Chattanooga Times Free Press.
Chattanooga firefighters responded to an 8 a.m. call from ADM Milling on King Street between 11th and Market streets.
Assistant fire Chief Daniel Hague told local media that in the plant's core an amount of chlorine residue release vapor that set off the plant's sensors, triggering the call.
As of 8:45 a.m. they were still on the scene.
Workers at the facility were evacuated as a precaution, Hague said. There were no reported injuries or incidents of exposure. Chattanooga police closed off the cross street from 11th to Market until the site is cleared by firefighters.
Three trucks responded to the call. Hague said the department's hazardous materials team also responded and ADM officials had contacted outside partners to do immediate follow-up testing for chlorine in the facility.

Fed easing may mean 20 percent dollar drop: Gross
NEWPORT BEACH, California
- Tweet
- Share this
NEWPORT BEACH, California (Reuters) - The dollar is in danger of losing 20 percent of its value over the next few years if the Federal Reserve continues unconventional monetary easing, Bill Gross, the manager of the world's largest mutual fund, said on Monday.
"I think a 20 percent decline in the dollar is possible," Gross said, adding the pace of the currency's decline was also an important consideration for investors.
"When a central bank prints trillions of dollars of checks, which is not necessarily what (a second round of quantitative easing) will do in terms of the amount, but if it gets into that territory --- that is a debasement of the dollar in terms of the supply of dollars on a global basis," Gross told Reuters in an interview at his PIMCO headquarters.
The Fed will probably begin a new round of monetary easing this week by announcing a plan to buy at least $500 billion of long-term securities, what investors and traders refer to as QE II, according to a Reuters poll of primary dealers.
"QEII not only produces more dollars but it also lowers the yield that investors earn on them and makes foreigners, which is the key link to the currencies, it makes foreigners less willing to hold dollars in current form or at current prices," Gross added.
To a certain extent, that is what the Treasury Department and Fed "in combination" want, said Gross, who runs the $252 billion Total Return Fund and oversees more than $1.1 trillion as co-chief investment officer.
"The fundamental problem here is that our labor and developed economy labor relative to developing economy labor is so mismatched -- China can do it so much more cheaply," he said.
Many Americans believe that the Chinese government is manipulating its currency and in effect stealing away American jobs and throwing the U.S. in an ever-deepening trade deficit. But Gross said this is a byproduct of a globalized economy.
"It is a globalized economy of our own doing for the past 20-30 years. We encouraged all of this, but it is coming back to haunt us. To the extent that Chinese labor, Vietnamese labor, Brazilian labor, Mexican labor, wherever it is coming from that that labor is out competing us and holding down our economy," he said.
Gross added: "One of the ways to get even, so to speak, or to get the balance, is to debase your currency faster than anybody else can. It's a shock because the dollar is the reserve currency. But to the extent that that is a necessary condition for rebalancing the global economy overtime, then that is where we are headed."
"Other countries and citizens are willing to work for less and willing to work harder -- and we forgot the magic formula somewhere along the way," Gross said.
In that regard, Americans should be investing a lot more overseas than they are to find growth as the U.S. remains in a slowish-growth environment, he said.
"Pension funds and Americans, in general, have a problem because their liabilities are dollar-denominated. It's probably worth the risk of getting out of dollars and getting into emerging countries and going where the growth is. All of which entails risk relative to the home country. But there's probably a bigger risk in simply staying comfortably within the confines of dollar-based investments."
(Editing by Kenneth Barry and Andrew Hay)
China been label as currency manipulator as they devalue their currency by buying US dollar.
So I wonder US is not label as currency manipulator when they doing the exactly same thing?
Bigger mess than 2008 , 2008 to the 5th power.
That is all.

In a State Supreme Court ruling, Justice Bruce found that a road maintenance crew would be required to pay half the damages caused to a driver's car in an accident last February, reports the Houston Today.
The incident occurred on the morning of February 17th, as driver Brittany Erin Brook was traveling along icy Highway 16, behind a sanding truck. The contractors in the truck belonged to Billabong Road and Bridge Maintenance, who had been hired to clear the highway of black ice. Brook, attempting to travel from Telkwa to Smithers, was driving at about 70 km per hour when she approached a curve. The Billabong sanding truck had stopped clearing the ice at this curve, causing Brook to lose control and flip onto the driver's side, sliding across the icy road before coming to a stop.
Though the car received extensive damage in the accident, Brook was mostly uninjured.
A provincial judge found that Billabong was liable for half the damage caused to Brooks car, due to their negligent behavior in failing to sand that location of the highway in an effective and timely manner, as per their contract. The court ruled that they would be responsible for paying fifty percent of the $6,500 in damages sustained by the vehicle, with both parties being fined $3,250.
The Billabong Maintenance company, however, chose to appeal the ruling to the State Supreme court, saying that they were not in violation of the contract and that Brook was fully responsible due to her high speed of travel. The attorneys representing the company argued that the province was attempting to hold them to a higher standard than had been established by the contract.
The Supreme Court judge, however, ruled that the company was equally liable in the accident, although he did admit that Brooks could have taken more measures to prevent the crash.
If you have been injured in an accident as a result of another person's negligence, you may be entitled to financial restitution.
