One of life's great challenges is learning to lift up our eyes and actually see those around us. To see them in all their frailties and faults and weaknesses and learn to love them for their whole selves. I am not particularly good at this. I don't think many of us are really pros, frankly. But every once in a while life arranges for you to look up. [Read more...]
Valuing Families
Every time I hear someone climb on the "family values" soap box and advocate for "pro-family" actions or attitudes, I get very nervous because I start wondering "if you are pro-family, who are you against"? [Read more...]
The Rather Uncomfortable Constraints of Life on a Pedestal
You walk into Relief Society and someone hands you the pinterest-approved announcement for the next weeknight activity: "Pretty Pretty Princess Girls Night Out! Featuring a 'Modest is Hottest' Fashion Show!" Or maybe you show up to your freshman year at BYU, interested in wildlife biology, only to learn very quickly that it is not a major or a career that is compatible with motherhood. You go to girls camp, excited about the hiking, but spend most of your time preparing for a very special fireside in which the leaders will tell you what boys really expect of you and how you can conform your life to those expectations of being sweet and modest and spiritual (and pretty). You attend a nationwide institute broadcast by a seventy and his wife where they give advice on marriage to men and women, including the admonition for girls to invest in a full length mirror. As a teenager, you look around your ward for role models, and identify those women with multiple children, and sweet voices, and color coordinated houses, and husbands who were successful enough to support a PTA volunteer wife. You try to stand out in your singles ward, because you want to find a husband, so you skip relief society to stay home and do your hair–but it's not enough, you need an interesting hobby. Music and crafts and traveling to the country where you served your mission are okay. Herpetology is not. You are taught at a Deseret Book sponsored "Especially for Women" event that lobbying is not ladylike, unless you're lobbying for families. In Relief Society, you ask why women don't have the priesthood, and you hear the hushed chuckles as the teacher smiles at you sweetly and knowingly and tells you that women are more spiritual than men, and that men need the Priesthood to catch up to you. You join a book club where you and the other sisters only read young adult novels, just to make sure that you are not exposed to ideas of "the world." You are praised–unyieldingly praised for your innate sweetness and your spirituality and your defense of your family. When the boys are in scouts working on career day merit badges, you are learning how to support them, how to encourage them to honor their priesthood, how to keep their thoughts pure by covering your body, and then you make them cookies. It is relentless messaging, year after year after year, starting in the year you were born, and never letting up. Your whole life has taught you to do exactly one thing. This:
The Agenda
I sat on the other side of a very interesting table Valentine's night. I got proselytized to at a dinner party by a member of a local protestant church. I realized that it's been a long time since someone tried to put the sell on me, because most of my non-Mormon friends are either not religious, or just openly and non-controversially a happy member of some other religion. I know about it, but it's not a thing. Anyways, back to the somewhat surprising dinner party. I think the episode was a bit jarring to me, because the motivations were so so transparent, and so clunkily executed. I came away annoyed. Mission not accomplished. [Read more...]
Why I'd Also Like to Hear a Woman Pray in General Conference
It's because when I was 18, I set a difficult goal as one of four big projects to earn my Young Women's Medallion. I learned how to play one piece of classical music on the piano for every musical era starting with Bach and ending with Gershwin. It took me months to accomplish. My young women leaders invited the whole ward to the recital and I expected a crowd because I had seen most of the ward show up over and over again for Eagle Scout Courts of Honor. On the night of the recital only two people came: my home teacher and my Sunday School teacher. I understand that what I did was non-traditional and so people didn't know that they were supposed to show up like they did for the boys. I want a woman to pray in General Conference, so as a people we learn to start showing up for our daughters as well as our sons.
Confessions of a Swing State Voter
I live in Virginia. If there was any chance of me forgetting that at any other time of the year, it becomes starkly apparent in election season. I have stopped watching television and answering the phone at night. Apparently, through sheer force of repetition, I am supposed to now believe that Mitt Romney is not the right choice for women and Barack Obama will cost thousand of my neighbors who work in the defense contractor industry their jobs. These are apparently the two issues that my fellow north-Virginians care most about. Setting aside the slight distaste I have at being boiled down to a one issue voter (which I'm not), and setting aside the fact that the politicians have stolen the joy of television from me (which I will never forgive), it is kind of interesting to live in a swing state. Your vote matters. You can't assume that the person you are talking to agrees with you. There is a kind of energy that is interesting and appeals to that patriotic American in me. This really is democracy in action.
I have not always lived in swing states. [Read more...]
What might save us, me and you, is if the gentiles love their children too.
I love political songs from the cold war era, they are so grounded in the moment they were created and capture a vivid bite of anger or paranoia or gallows humor. Who doesn't love Rush's "Tom Sawyer", or Metallica's "Don't Tread on Me", or the giddily inappropriate atomic bomb ode "Thirteen Men and Me the Only Gal Around" by Ann Margret? I think the one that sticks the most with me, though, is Sting's "Russians" with its industrial scoring, the Prokoviev themes, and the jarring, plaintive, and retrospectively over-dramatic rhetorical wish "What might save us, me and you, is if the Russians love their children too." Of course, having served a mission in St. Petersburg, Russia, I can unhesitatingly confirm that indeed, the Russians love their children too. Phew.
On Comparative Law
Many of my recent posts have been a call for more ecumenicalism in our interactions with others. The recent events in the Middle East have brought home to me that the point of that kind of cross-cultural empathy is not merely a feel-good response to our neighbors. It can be critical, even vital, to understand fundamental philosophical differences when trying to chart a way forward. I think that some basic understanding of comparative law could be helpful in framing the events in the Muslim world right now. [Read more...]
Religious Privilege and Religious Freedom and Roughage
Before I go any further, I need to tell you something about myself. I'm a firm believer that every person should get enough fiber in their diet every day. Current recommendations are that women under age 50 need about 25 grams per day, and men under age 50 need about 38 grams. Most Americans get about half that much in the average day. So, let's reiterate, I'm a fiber fan. Go fiber. Great.
Now let's talk about you. Who are you? Well, in this piece, you are a rhetorical you. [Read more...]
The Codification of Morality
A few months ago, I was attending a university level criminal law class in a Muslim country that recognizes sharia law in the constitution. The class was lively, the students were prepared, and it was incredibly enjoyable listening to these students chew through topics like the presumption of innocence and burden of proof. At one point, during a discussion of the country's penal code, a student raised his hand and asked why drinking alcohol was against the law in that country, when it was not criminalized in America. "How can one act be a crime in one country, and not in another?" The teacher, probably not willing to be waylaid by a philosophical discussion of "what is crime" punted the question and briefly talked about sharia before moving on. I think it's too bad that the teacher didn't delve into the question of "what is crime" because approached from a comparative law standpoint, it is pretty fascinating. [Read more...]
My Decision to Boycott Lowe's
This week, Lowe's pulled advertisements from TLC's show "All-American Muslim" about several Muslim families in the Dearborn area. I don't watch the show. I don't need to watch a television show that "normalizes" Muslims. My Muslim friends and co-workers are normal enough to me without television. Frankly, I don't shop at Lowe's all that much either, but I won't be shopping there at all any longer. The people urging Lowe's to pull the ads had a message to share.
I have a few messages to share here: [Read more...]
What to Make of Abish?
There are only four women mentioned by name in the Book of Mormon, and three of them are pretty straightforward female archetypes: the virgin, the whore, and the nagging wife. While they may serve the purpose of fleshing out the larger story that they appear in, they are not fleshed out themselves. I'm sorry about that. I wish more women's stories were included. The fourth woman, however, is a bit of a surprise. [Read more...]
Mom Activism: Citizenship in the Community, Citizenship in the World
Whenever a child in Utah is born with PKU, an inherited (genetic) metabolic disorder where the body cannot process the amino acid phenylalanine, the health department (with the permission of the parents), notifies my friend Amy Oliver so she can step in to help. Phenylalanine or "phe" is found in every type of food, and the higher the protein content, the higher the phe content. If phe is allowed to build up in the body of a person with PKU, it causes irreversible brain damage and results in severe mental retardation. People with untreated PKU are unable to function on their own and end up living in institutions. PKU occurs in about 1 in every 15,000 births. [Read more...]

Feminism in the Age of Disney Princesses
A new crop of women is coming of age, matriculating into the universe of higher education, and entering the workforce. They grew up in an age of intense marketing towards children, and an age of specialty marketing towards girls. The Disney film franchise was entering a Renaissance period with the release of "The Little Mermaid" in 1988–with a wide-eyed plucky mermaid dreaming about growing up and becoming part of the world, and then "Beauty and the Beast" in 1991 with a wide-eyed plucky village girl dreaming that there must be more than her provincial life. In fact, Disney made a fortune on remaking the image of girls in movies. The old Disney films were filled with beautiful but vapid, lifeless girls who needed to be saved by even more vapid, lifeless princes. This new crop of heroines were defined in a different way: pretty, plucky, adventurous–they were corporate packaged junior feminists. They got into scrapes, they got out of them, they learned to love, and everything came up roses. Ever wondered how Ariel would fare in corporate America….
Either Little Provo or the Red Light District
"So can I ask you a question?" This is a fairly awkward phrase, right? If the question is truly innocuous, no one will precede it with an implicit warning. When you hear the question "so can I ask you a question?" you brace yourself, you take a breath, you smile and say "of course." If you're a Mormon and you hear this, you know you have about a 50% chance of someone asking about polygamy, your mission, or your underwear, so you try extra hard to stick on that super pleasant smile that says "you betcha."
My boss walked into my office a couple of years back and said "so can I ask you a question?"
"You betcha."
"My wife and I have been noticing something kind of strange at this house in our neighborhood. There are a lot of young women living there, and they move in and out fairly often. And pretty often some guys in suits will come over and visit. And the girls are all really pretty. And they dressed really skanky at Halloween. We think it's a brothel. But this morning, when I was waiting at the bus stop I saw one of them, and she asked me about the bus schedule, so I started up a conversation and asked where she was from. She just graduated from BYU. So, apparently she's a Mormon. Do you know what's going on? Is this normal?"
"Ah." I said, realization dawning. "So, here's the thing, you live smack dab in the middle of a single mormon mecca, and you don't know it. All of that is perfectly normal. They're looking for husbands. Pay them no mind." (aka "These aren't the droids you're looking for. Move along.") [Read more...]

Women of Courage
Happy International Women's Day to BCC readers. This is, unfortunately, a rarely celebrated holiday in the U.S., but is recognized around the world as a moment to celebrate the achievements of women, appreciate the women in our own lives, and most importantly think about women's issues and what work remains to be done to achieve safety and equality for women. Today, ten women from around the world were honored at the U.S. State Department as Women of Courage. In the case of some of these women, "courage" is an understatement. [Read more...]
I Wanna Shake Your Hand
Last year I was hanging out with Steve Evans and Aaron B. Steve's dog had recently died, but they were dogsitting another wee pup. The new dog walked in and Aaron B. did a double-take. "I thought your dog died! Is that a ghost dog?" I immediately shot back: "You should ask to shake its paw." [Read more...]
Murder, Mayhem, Sin, and Voyeurism
Like many Americans, I consider murder to be a form of entertainment, and I'm a bit ashamed by that. I can't really survive international flights without a good gripping murder mystery in my hand. The more creative and depraved, the more I can count on it to keep me occupied, make the flight seem short, and stave off air sickness. I spent the new years holiday watching a marathon of "Castle" on cable. More murder. Somehow it doesn't seem like such a horrible sin and terrible tragedy when it is presented as a "whodunit" or when it's presented by characters who quip chirpily as their flirtation weaves its way through crime scenes, witness interrogation, and visits to the medical examiners and their corpses.

The Choice to do Good and the Choice to Integrate
The article featured on BCC's sideboard found here has inspired me to inner musings. I like the idea that a community's choice to exceed the mark, to communally do good simply for the sake of rightness has a lasting legacy, even if that legacy is only on a few individuals. I also like the common theme of integration that weaves through such stories. [Read more...]
Spirituality through Sentimentality: Heresy or Praiseworthy?
I'm getting very sentimental this year. Next week, I'm leaving on a jet plane for South Asia (India and Sri Lanka) where I'm spending Christmas with a couple friends instead of my family. It made sense this year. My parents are on a mission, and my (0nly sibling) brother is spending Christmas with his in-laws. I have a friend who lives in the middle east, and is not coming back to America for Christmas, so we're meeting on the other side of the globe to do some touristy things and celebrate Christmas together. It sounded like a great idea in September. Now I'm getting a little weepy and sentimental. I'm listening to Christmas music every chance I get, spending more time at public celebrations (hello Nutcracker and Santa Lucia at the Swedish Embassy!) and trying to find the perfect presents to put in the mail this week before I go. Trying to deconstruct these feelings is a bit interesting. What am I going to miss? Is it sentimentality over missing my family and the trappings of Christmas, or is it a suspicion that celebrating Christmas in a hotel and on a beach will make the day less special, less focused on the spirituality of the event, and tantamount to skipping the holiday altogether?

Twinkling: What should I have said?
Here is a fairly accurate transcript of a recent conversation I had:
Friend A: I think I'm going to visit Jerusalem this year.
Me: That sounds fun. I've always wanted to go. I asked my Dad if he wanted to go with me and he said he thought the Second Coming was too near so it wouldn't be safe.
Friend A: Your dad doesn't think he's righteous enough to be taken up into heaven?
Me: Mormons don't believe in twinkling.
Friend A: You mean you don't believe in Revelations?
Me: Uh….
Friend B (studying to be a Priest): Maybe they just believe that it's more metaphorical.
Me: Uh….
Friend B: Or maybe they think John the Revelator was crazy.
Everyone laughs and smiles–thinking to themselves: "yeah I've thought that before…"

Is modernity antithetical to serenity?
I recently found myself on a 14 hour non-stop flight from Dubai to Washington D.C. I don't travel well. I have a tendency to get airsick, I can't sleep on planes, I get dehydrated and stuffed up, and wind up with jet lag and more often than not, a cold. Ironically I love to be in foreign places, and frequently find myself wishing for transporter technology. On this trip, not only was I coughing, slightly nauseous, bleary/sand-paper-eyed, but my legs were swollen and covered in bruises from climbing in and out of helicopters. Long story. [Read more...]
Fond Thoughts of (Fill in Your Mission Here)…and Recipes
I've often wondered how much of an effect foreign missions have had on the culture of the church and its members. I know that for individuals, two years or eighteen months living in a different culture is life changing. Often missionaries return to change their majors, career plans etc. I also know many returned missionaries who have chosen to live overseas, recognizing from their mission experiences that they enjoy the adventure of it.

When James Warhola was a little boy, his father had a junk business that turned their yard into a wonderful play zone that his mother didn't fully appreciate! But whenever James and his family drove to New York City to visit Uncle Andy, they got to see how "junk" could become something truly amazing in an artist's hands. |

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Jadeveon Clowney made things tougher for Johnny Manziel and the other potential No. 1 picks Monday.
The former South Carolina star ran the fastest 40-yard dash time of the defensive lineman. NFL.com reported the unofficial time at 4.47 seconds. NFL Network said it was 4.53. Either way, it was still tops at his position.
Clowney did 21 reps at 225 pounds in the weightlifting workout, putting him in the second half of the defensive ends.
Michael Sam, who is trying to become the first openly gay player in the NFL, posted an unofficial 40-yard dash time of 4.79 seconds and did 17 reps, according to NFL.com. NFL Network reported the time was 4.91.

The Piano Sonatas of Robert Muczynski See Also: Abstract Works List
by Valerie Cisler
Robert Muczynski was born in Chicago on March 19, 1929. His father's parents' emigrated from Warsaw, Poland to Chicago; his mother was of Slovak descent, moving to the U.S. in 1910. He studied piano with Walter Knupfer and composition with Alexander Tcherepnin at DePaul University in Chicago, where he received the Bachelor of Music degree (1950) and the Master of Music degree (1952). Both degrees were in Piano Performance. At his Carnegie Hall debut in 1958 he presented a program of his own piano works.
Internationally recognized, Muczynski's works appear with increasing frequency on programs in the US, Europe, the Far East, Australia and Mexico. Orchestral works have been performed by the Chicago Symphony, the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, the National Symphony of Washington, D.C., the Tucson Symphony Orchestra, the Minnesota Orchestra and others abroad.
Muczynski's awards include two "Young Composer's Project" Fellowship Grants from the Ford Foundation (1959, 1961); a Distinguished Alumni Achievement Award from De Paul University, Chicago; the International Society for Contemporary Music Prize for the "Suite for Piano" (1961); and the Concours Internationale Prize, in Nice, France, for the "Sonata for Flute and Piano" (1961). "A Summer Journal" was awarded "Best of the Year 1966" by "Piano Quarterly" in its fourteenth annual list of exceptional teaching pieces. In 1982, his "Concerto for Alto Saxophone and Chamber Orchestra" was nomintated for a Pulitzer Prize.
In addition to awards, Muczynski has received a great number of commissions throughout his career: The Fromm Foundation; the Louisville Orchestra; Thor Johnson and the Chicago Little Symphony; Howard Mitchell and the National Symphony of Washington, D.C.; the Linton String Trio; the Western Arts Trio; the Tucson Symphony; saxophonist Trent Kynaston; clarinetist Mitchell Lurie; the US Information Agency's Artistic Ambassadors Program; and the University of Oklahoma Wind Quintet. Muczynski has also composed scores for nine award-winning documentary films produced by the University of Arizona Film Department. Included are "The Great Unfenced," "Yankee Painter," "American Realists," Cajititlan," "The Clowns Never Laugh," "Terra Sancta: A Film of Israel," "Bellota: A Story of Roundup," and "Journey Through Eden."
Robert Muczynski has previously taught at DePaul University, Chicago; Loras College, Dubuque, Iowa; Roosevelt University, Chicago; and the University of Arizona, Tudson (composer-in-residence and chair of the composition department). His works are featured in a permanent collection at the University of Texas at Austin, Center for American Music: The Robert Muczynski Collection.

St. Tropez Wash Off Instant Glow Mousse
Date: 25/08/12
Advantages: Really easy to use and doesn't smell bad.
Disadvantages: Can't achieve a really dark tan.
I tried this mousse after having a good experience with the St Tropez instant tanning lotion. In fact, the mousse was even easier to use than the lotion.
I made sure that I had washed and exfoliated carefully first (although on subsequent times using the mousse I didn't even exfoliate) and then applied the mousse with a tanning mit. The result was an even all-over healthy glow that didn't take long to achieve.
Like any instant tanner, I was careful to avoid splashing myself during my night out and if someone spills a drink on you it will start rubbing off! But it didn't leave any marks on anywhere that I sat or in my bed when I went to sleep and it washed off really easily the next day.
Out of all the instant tanners I have tried this is definitely my favourite and it doesn't smell like a lot of other tanners do. Definitely worth a try because it is so easy to use but be warned - it only creates a light tan, you can't achieve a really dark colour with this one.
Summary: Fuss-free instant tanning.

Shutdown fudge factor may come into play
Seventy two hours or bust? If push really comes to shove, The Hill's Erik Wasson tells Federal News Radio, the House's 72 hour rule could be waived and even a 24 hour CR is seen as better than a shutdown.

How to backtime the budget
Any budget deal in Congress has to be reached a lot sooner than you might think. The House and Senate need more than just enough time to pass it. Because of that Russell Berman, congressional reporter, says not to be surprised if another continuing resolution is needed to keep the lights on at your agency.

RGIII beat-boxes in new ad (Video)
Friday - 8/9/2013, 6:33am  ET
WASHINGTON - Earlier this week, the NFL nation experienced the Rapping Mannings, so why not a beat-boxing RGIII as an encore?
Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III beat-boxes in a promo for a new documentary-style film about the rising star, which will air on ESPN Aug. 27.
The prime-time special, called "RGIII: The Will to Win," features Griffin's rookie season, which ended with a knee injury during a playoff game in January. It takes viewers through his surgery and rehabilitation and will conclude with the current preseason, according to an ESPN statement about the film.
To get you in the mood for some gridiron action, burgundy-and-gold style, check out Griffin's musical talents.

Power Ranking College Football's Top Ten Mascots
By Chris Burrows ,
College football is not only about what happens on the gridiron. It's a comprehensive Saturday experience that includes tailgating, massive stadiums, cheerleaders, and a band. There are also mascots.
Every team has one. Some are fierce, some are funny, some are just lame. Here's a look at the best ones in the land. Let the debates begin.
If nothing else, the West Virginia Mountaineer is authentic. No furry suits or animals here. A student (male or female) is chosen every year to wear the costume and carry the flintlock, which could come in handy when WVU's generally rowdy tailgating gets out of control.
This guy just looks mean.
Think about being stuck in the desert with Sparky the Sun Devil, looking for water. Think about being jabbed with his pitchfork. Not a pleasant image, is it?
When it's 110 degrees on the sidelines in an early season game, he's about the least comforting character out there. Unless of course, you're wearing maroon and gold.
It's hard to correlate the carnage of a hurricane with an ibis, but Sebastian works. He's a flashback to the 1980s, when no team visited the Orange Bowl with a feeling of optimism.
The Orange Bowl is gone, and so are the dominant Miami teams. Still, when the smoke starts pouring out of the tunnel in the stadium formerly known as Joe Robbie, and Sebastian the Ibis runs out onto the field, you know what's about to happen.
Technically Auburn are the Tigers. More accurately, they are the War Eagles.
Tiger or not roaming the stands, the Eagle Flight that precedes kickoff is an amazing display. Jordan-Hare Stadium is at a frenzy when he lands.
It's hard to beat the SEC for good football, tradition, or mascots.
We're sticking with a bird theme here. Oregon's Duck appears to be more cute than mean, but seems to get into more trouble than most costumed mascots. He's shown assaulting the Houston Cougar in this frame. The Duck has also had numerous altercations with rival Benny Beaver of Oregon State.
The University of Oregon has something like 36 different uniform combinations. They have only one Duck.
Have you ever been to a night game at Neyland Stadium and seen Smokey sprinting across the corner of the endzone after a Tennessee score?
If not you've never really experienced college football. It's one of the enduring images of the sport.
Live, actual mascots get extra points. Smokey always seems fairly well-behaved, so he loses a few marks there. The differences offset. He's a great mascot.
One question: Is the sword real?
It could possibly be used at some point to keep new coach Lane Kiffin in line, if USC's compliance committee cannot do so.
Riding on Traveler, his white horse, the Trojan is a feared member of the USC student body. No game at the Los Angeles Coliseum would be complete without the two of them roaming the grounds.
Folks, this picture pretty much sums it up.
The UGA lineage (actually based in Savannah, while the school is in Athens) has been supporting the 'Dawgs for generations. Not only that, they are willing to attack members of opposing teams, either between the hedges or on the road.
Not only that, they wear sweaters and sit on bags of ice during hot games. How do you contend with that?
For sheer aggression and unpredictability, Bevo reigns supreme.
There have been many Bevos at Texas. They have attacked targets ranging from cheerleaders to parked cars.
Only if Clemson were to actually bring a live tiger to Death Valley would there be a more dangerous mascot in a college football stadium. That's not likely to happen, so Texas fans should stay on edge if they sit near Bevo's domain in Austin.
Here's the clear-cut winner. Chief Osceola's ride on Renegade, flaming spear in hand, to midfield at Doak Campbell may well be the most cherished ritual in college athletics.
One thing is for certain, there is no place in the football world louder than when the spear tip meets the ground.
The actual Seminole nation supports the likeness, so it looks like the Chief will be around to stay. That's good news for any college football fan.

Severe weather has returned to Iowa, and southern Iowa could see some strong storms today.
Tuesday saw an unusual morning warning north of Waterloo. The National Weather Service issued a severe thunderstorm warning for it at 9:43 a.m. While severe weather can happen at any time, it is far more common for storms to build to those levels in the afternoon and evening hours.
The Storm Prediction Center is forecasting a chance of severe weather from central Texas to southern Iowa, with the highest probability centered on Oklahoma. Tornadoes are not the main threat from the outbreak, but area residents are familiar with the kind of damage hail and strong winds can do.
A somewhat lower risk of severe weather could persist into Wednesday.
The good news with this system is it will bring needed rain to the area. Forecasters say there is a 90 percent chance of showers and storms Tuesday night, with chances of precipitation continuing every day until Friday.

The yearning for an afterlife is the opposite of selfish: it is love and praise for the world that we are privileged, in this complex interval of light, to witness and experience.
A VOLUNTEER is a person who is a light to others, giving witness in a mixed-up age, doing well and willingly the tasks at hand-namely, being aware of another's needs and doing something about it.
The body is an instrument, the mind its function, the witness and reward of its operation.
George Santayana
That the Jews assumed a right exclusively to the benefits of God will be a lasting witness against them and the same will it be against Christians.
William Blake
Journalism allows its readers to witness history; fiction gives its readers an opportunity to live it.
John Hersey
True bravery is shown by performing without witness what one might be capable of doing before all the world!
Francois Duc de la Rochefoucauld
here are times not to flirt: When you're sick. When you're with children. When you're on the witness stand.
Joyce Jillson
There is one purpose to life and one only: to bear witness to and understand as much as possible of the complexity of the world - its beauty, its mysteries, its riddles. The more you understand, the more you look, the greater is your enjoyment of life and your sense of peace. That's all there is to it. If an activity is not grounded in 'to love' or 'to learn,' it does not have value.
Anne Rice
I knew I had him in the first round. Almighty God was with me. I want everyone to bear witness, I am the greatest! I'm the greatest thing that ever lived. I don't have a mark on my face, and I upset Sonny Liston, and I just turned twenty-two years old. I must be the greatest. I showed the world. I talk to God everyday. I know the real God. I shook up the world, I'm the king of the world. You must listen to me. I am the greatest! I can't be beat!
Muhammad Ali
Clay comes out to meet Liston and Liston starts to retreat, if Liston goes back an inch farther he'll end up in a ringside seat. Clay swings with his left, Clay swings with his right, Look at young Cassius carry the fight Liston keeps backing, but there's not enough room, It's a matter of time till Clay lowers the boom. Now Clay lands with a right, what a beautiful swing, And the punch raises the Bear clean out of the ring. Liston is still rising and the ref wears a frown, For he can't start counting till Sonny goes down. Now Liston is disappearing from view, the crowd is going frantic, But radar stations have picked him up, somewhere over the Atlantic. Who would have thought when they came to the fight? That they'd witness the launching of a human satellite. Yes the crowd did not dream, when they put up the money, That they would see a total eclipse of the Sonny.
Muhammad Ali
At a time when it's possible for thirty people to stand on the top of Everest in one day, Antarctica still remains a remote, lonely and desolate continent. A place where it's possible to see the splendours and immensities of the natural world at its most dramatic and, what's more, witness them almost exactly as they were, long, long before human beings ever arrived on the surface of this planet. Long may it remain so.
Sir David Frederick Attenborough
I have testified to Thy oneness through Thine Own Self before the dwellers of the heavens and the earth, bearing witness that, verily, Thou art the All-Glorious, the Best Beloved. I have attained the recognition of Thee through Thine Own Self before the dwellers of the heavens and the earth, bearing witness that Thou art in truth the Almighty, the All-Praised.
The Bab
This is an epistle from the letter Th unto Him Who will be made manifest through the power of Truth He Who is the All-Glorious, the Best Beloved to affirm that all created things as well as myself bear witness for all time that there is none other God but Thee, the Omnipotent, the Self-Subsisting; that Thou art God, there is no God besides Thee and that all men shall be raised up to life through Thee.
The Bab
I have never seen myself as a spokesman. I am a witness. In the church in which I was raised you were supposed to bear witness to the truth. Now, later on, you wonder what in the world the truth is, but you do know what a lie is.
James Baldwin
The court had to be cleared owing to the roars of ribald laughter which greeted the appearance in the witness-box of the twelve red bearded dwarfs all in a heap. Their names were read out amid growing uproar. The names appeared to be: Sophus Barkayo-Tong, Amaninter Axling, Farjole Merrybody, Guttergorm Guttergormpton, Badly Oronparser, Churm Rincewind, Cleveland Zackhouse, Molonay Tubilderborst, Edeledel Edel, Scorpion de Rooftrouser, Listenis Youghaupt, Frums Gillygottle. Are these genuine names? No, m'worship. Then what's your name? Bogus, m'ludship. No, your real name. My real name is Bogus, your excellency. (At this point the court had to be cleared)
It is at once by way of poetry and through poetry, as with music, that the soul glimpses splendors from beyond the tomb; and when an exquisite poem brings ones eyes to the point of tears, those tears are not evidence of an excess of joy, they are witness far more to an exacerbated melancholy, a disposition of the nerves, a nature exiled among imperfect things, which would like to possess, without delay, a paradise revealed on this very same earth.
Charles Baudelaire
...there remains time to turn back the constitutional clock and roll back excessive post-9/11 powers before we turn the corner into another Japanese internment or, closer to our own experiences, before we witness a legally sanctioned Ruby Ridge or Waco scenario.
Robert Laurence
Is it possible for us to witness a world without America and Zionism? You should know that this slogan, this goal, can certainly be achieved.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
The creation according to Islam is not a unique act in a given time but a perpetual and constant event; and God supports and sustains all existence at every moment by His will and His thought. Outside His will, outside His thought, all is nothing, even the things which seem to us absolutely self-evident such as space and time. Allah alone wishes: the Universe exists; and all manifestations are as a witness of the Divine will.
Aga Khan III
The time has come for me to say good-bye-or better, 'arrivederci!'. World Youth Day 2011 will take place in Madrid, Spain. Until then, let us continue to pray for one another, and let us joyfully bear witness to Christ before the world.
Pope Benedict XVI
The Holy Spirit! This is the Spirit's role: to bring Christ's work to fulfillment. Enriched with the Spirit's gifts, you will have the power to move beyond the piecemeal, the hollow utopia, the fleeting, to offer the consistency and certainty of Christian witness!
Pope Benedict XVI

There is little progress in assuring gender equality and the empowerment of women in Ethiopia. Death at child birth is still one of the highest in the world, harmful practices (forced early marriages, FGM…) continue and the trafficking of young girls and women to the Middle East to be modern slaves is thriving.
The only fact we can affirm without hesitation is that Ethiopian women have not stopped to fight for their rights. During all the decisive stages of the Nation's history women have been, with men,

The aim was to chariesh , honor women and enable them to encourage participating in economical, social and political aspects, so that their human right will be respected dispite gender difference.
Commemorate and Remembering Yekatit 12, 1929 G.C. (Ye-Sematet day) in New York City on March 1, 2014
By: Berhane Tadese
Ethiopians residing in the tri-state area of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut held a town hall meeting on March 1, 2014 in New York City as Remembrance Day for Yekatit 12, 1929 G.C. Fascist General Graziane's massacre act. This observance event was organized by a committee composed of Ad hoc committee for Global Alliance for Justice and the Ethiopian Community Mutual Assistance Association of NY, NJ and CT.

It has been said that solutions proposed by governments are often worse than the problems themselves and we can realize this when we consider many weird and strange laws decreed out of the blue to deal with problems that are sometimes only seen within the presidential palaces and the offices and villas of the officials. Uganda has given us one strange (and irrelevant) law after another and it has amused us to no end. Museveni's "scientific" tirade against homosexuality and his recent stringent decree against it actually concerns a minority in a country whose majority consider poverty, bad governance and corruption (by Museveni and his family) as their major problems. He went on to ban miniskirts too. Go ahead and laugh.
The shameful act of OPDO.
By Yilma Bekele
I came across a clip of a VOA interview from Ethiopia. It is about the unveiling of a new statue in Oromia Kilil (Bantustan), Arsi Zone, Hitosa Wereda named Anole Statue and Museum. From the video that came with the report the ugly contraption seems to be sitting in the middle of acacia forest and depicts a cut off human hand with a cut off what we are told to be depiction of a female breast resting on the palm stretched to the sky. I am assuming the Museum is there to explain the reason for the erection of such a strong and ugly visual in such a serene place.
February 25, 2014
The close relations of the regime in Addis Abeba with the Omar Beshir led regime in Khartoum have almost always worked against the interest of Ethiopians in the Sudan. Many Ethiopians who were in danger of losing their lives have been deported from the Sudan to Ethiopia and many have died (Major Atanaw Wassie and others) or have been disappeared like Azanaw Demile and dozens of others.

SOCEPP has received several reports that scores of Ethiopians have been illegally detained, some tortured, others killed in Eritrea. Demands for reports on the condition of Ethiopians have been ignored by the regime in Asmara.

While we appreciate the motive, mission and purpose of the SBS, we are sending you this protest letter to call for an end to the use of the SBS Amharic service to popularize mass murderers of the previous military regime. Captain Kassahun Seboka, who served the totalitarian regime of colonel Mengistu and is now seemingly in charge of the Amharic service of the SBS, is responsible for this travesty that has pained and hurt millions of Ethiopians.

This is not the first time Ali Hussein has been harassed by the agents of the repressive regime but this latest death threat, received during the holiday season, is particular in that it clearly asserts that Ali and his family would be killed without doubt. Canadian police in Winnipeg are investigating the affair.

International Child adoptions becoming a new export industry and trade in Ethiopia.
By Meron Admasu/from NorwayThe international Adoption law – is a type of adoption in which an individual or couple becomes the legal and permanent parent(s) of a child who is a national of a different country.
How adoption agencies work in Ethiopia
According to Ethiopian child adoption law – adoptive parents must submit post adoption reports at three months, six months, and one year. After the first year, the reports must be filed yearly until the child turns 18. This is a commitment that the adopting parents, home study agency, and adoption agency must sign when submitting documents for the adoption. Around 70 adoption agencies have set up business in Ethiopia and half of them are unregistered.
However the adoption process in Ethiopia is marred by criminal activity and corruption, in recent years.

ESAT: A Dilemma of Independent Media in Free Society
By Ewnetu Sime |
I have been watching on 12/11/13 the brutal dictator Mengistu Haile Mariam, who repressed Ethiopians for nearly two decades and became a symbol of notorious human rights abuse, making comments about Nelson Mandela's legacy on Ethiopia Satellite Television (ESAT). The SBS radio also conducted similar interview with Mengistu. As it is well known, under Mengistu's Red Terror killings campaign, disappearances and kilings, beatings, mutilations, drowning, electrocutions etc. were a daily horror. In short period, the death toll was estimated as high as 500, 000 people. It is the worst act of state-sponsored terrorism in history of Ethiopia.
Merchants of deception
By Gemencho
The May 2005 election was supposed to go according to the plan. The TPLF would allow the election, as long as it controlled the entire electoral process. The loyal opposition would begrudgingly go along with that. The people, whom the election was supposedly for , would remain on the sidelines as cheerleaders. The donor countries would congratulate all three- the TPLF, for allowing the election, the loyal opposition for not setting unreasonable pre-conditions, such as demanding the election to be free and fair, and the people for accepting the outcome, whatever that be. The election day came. The TPLF declared itself, the winner. The loyal opposition cried foul, and appealed to the conscious of the donor countries to intervene on its behalf.
Perverted curiosity on the History of Ihapa

"Better to die on one's feet than to live on one's knees" Dolres Ibarruri (aka La Pasionaria)
There is now a growing interest on the history of EPRP. The curiosity, however, is perverted. It is so because the attempt is not to recount its accomplishment, but the impoverishment of the Ihapa led generation. If a book specially defames the history of EPRP, then in no time people with a broad spectrum of political affinities, flock in to write reviews and critiques.

'Et, tu Brute?' is what the Roman Emperor Julius Caesar was heard to have said when he saw his dear friend Marcus Brutus in league with his assassins. In English he was saying 'you too, Brutus?' It is said by historians that Caesar was fond of Brutus and treated him as he would a son. His betrayal must have been very painful.

Right after the tragedy that befell Ethiopians in Saudi Arabia (150,000 deported, some killed, many tortured and all humiliated), it is now the turn of Israel to deport back hundreds of Ethiopians. The man considered a traitor and a criminal by many people in Ethiopia, that is to say Hilawe Yosef now purged and dumped in Israel to serve as ambassador, has, as expected, bent backwards, to assure all that the deportees will be given some money, free air ticket and medical service. He expects us to applaud the government of Israel.

The seven-month period for amnesty for undocumented workers in Saudi Arabia has since expired, sparking unrest between Ethiopians and Saudi police. Now, over 100,000 Ethiopians have been returned to their homeland. Ethiopian Foreign Minister Tedros Adhanom said last week that up to 50,000 more citizens were still expected to return.

The Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Party (EPRP) sends its condolences to the families of Nelson "Madiba" Mandela and the people of South Africa for the passing away the great leader.
For us, Nelson Mandela exemplified courage and perseverance, a humane and democratic vision, tenacity and pan Africanism, reconciliation and loyalty to his cause for which he had said from the start he was ready to die. Mandela passed 27 hard years in prison (18 of them in the notorious Robben's Island) but never gave up his fight, he did not knuckle under apartheid regime despite all that cruel system tried to break his will and stain his soul.

World Aids Day has been observed globally and a lookt at the situation in Ethiopia does not lend itself to any kind of optimism.
