African immigrants and refugees in Europe, Part 1
Investigation by Priority Africa Network and Black Alliance for Just Immigration
by Nunu Kidane and Gerald Lenoir
Agrigento, Sicily, Italy, Oct. 26-28 – We were fortunate to spend two days in the small coastal town of Agrigento, where in the central part of the city stands a Catholic church with the figure of a Black priest carved in stone perched high above in the church tower. It is a statue of Saint Calogero, an African priest who came to Sicily around the 14th century and is revered as the town's patron saint.
But in the 21st century, African refugees who traverse the treacherous waters of the Mediterranean Sea find Calogero's city, indeed the entire country, unwelcoming, even hostile to them. A well-known Italian Bishop is said to have remarked that if the saint-priest were to arrive in Agrigento today, he would find himself in similar circumstances as the refugees who are detained and disdained.
Agrigento is situated far west in the region of Sicily, an island off of the coast of mainland Italy (see map). We spent the better part of two days in the city at Progetto Tarik, a shelter for male migrants from many countries, including Eritrea, Nigeria, Somalia and Sudan – 37 men ranging in age from 19 to 37. We ate with them, sipped cappuccinos with them and even attended an Italian language class with them.
During the course of our stay, we were fortunate to gain their trust and engage in personal conversations about their migration experiences, their hope and dreams, their frustrations and setbacks. They opened up to us and shared the details of the nightmare they had experienced.
They came from Eritrea to avoid forced conscription into an army that had no time limit; many were forced to act as the personal servants to high-ranking officers. They came from Darfur, Sudan, to escape war, from other parts of Sudan fleeing from forced conscription and repression, from Nigeria escaping the conflict in Niger Delta and from Somalia to escape from a so-called failed state and a never-ending war.
Whatever the reason for their departure, their asylum cases depended on whether or not they had a good case for substantiating grounds for fear of persecution, which is the basis of the U.N. Refugee Convention protection for asylum seekers. Those escaping poverty or looking for better opportunities for themselves and their families would be considered "economic refugees" and subject to automatic rejection.
All of the young men we talked to arrived in Italy aboard crowded boats that set sail from Libya, normally, just a day's sail across the Mediterranean Sea to Lampedusa, an Italian port further south. One of the Eritrean young men reported that his voyage took five days, the most excruciating experience he had been through in his entire 19 years.
The sea is infested with "big fishes" that circle the small boat at all hours. At night, there is total blinding darkness. During the day, the heat from the sun is relentless with no water to quench their thirst. The salty waters are "like acid" as their skin begins to peel off from the intensity and dehydration. Of the 300 migrants on the boat, there were a few women, one of whom was eight months pregnant. Assuming they would reach their destination in a day, they had no water and no food.
He recounted that the deaths begin to happen the longer they are at sea. But that most die, ironically, at the moment of sighting a rescue ship, when panic sets in as each individual competes to be first to go up the ladder to safety. It is a fight to the death as people get pushed aside, some falling into the sea, others remaining on the boat when the rescue ship departs, having filled its quota. Those who have not been picked up know this is their last chance. With no food or water, it is a matter of hours before they would die in the sea.
Before embarking on their voyage across the Mediterranean, almost all of the young Eritrean men left their country by making their way to neighboring Sudan. From there, they embarked on the perilous journey across the Sahara Desert. Another 20-year-old Eritrean man recalled memories of sand as far as he could see, of thirst beyond belief, of the daily fear and uncertainty about living another day, of the people who died along the way and were buried in the sand, nothing to mark their graves, just a mound of sand. Each mound in the otherwise flat desert was an indicator of someone who did not make it. He wondered if that would be his fate.
The migrants are loaded on trucks packed as tight as they can fit. A young Eritrean teen recounted a story of a Somali boy who had been seated very close to him for the better part of the journey. When the truck stopped and it was time to stretch their legs, he stood up to find the body next to him slumped. He suddenly realized he had been sitting next to a corpse for the past few hours. His expression was somber when he remembered the moment.
"I had never seen a dead body before, his eyes remained open as if he could see … I didn't know what to do," he told us. Like others before him, they buried him, but not deep in the sand. No one had the energy left for a proper burial.
We asked about their families, those they left behind, evidently a difficult and emotional topic for the young men, who have not seen their loved ones in a long time. The Eritreans know that many of their families have been imprisoned or subjected to huge fines by the government because of their departure.
Each trip across a border is undertaken with the full realization they may not survive. This is especially true when leaving Tripoli (Libya) where the Mediterranean Sea leaves no trace of a body. Each young man told us that they leave word behind with trusted friends at different points in their journey in case they do not make it to their destination. They said leaving word behind gives them comfort knowing that should they not make it, their families will at least know of their demise.
Many felt dejected after reaching Europe and not finding the promised land of their dreams. They expressed frustration with the endless bureaucratic entanglements that kept them in camps, detention centers and with little hope of education, employment or supporting the families they had left behind.
All of the young men we talked to said they left home largely to find ways to improve conditions for their families back home by sending money back. But Italy does not offer them employment or cash assistance, education is limited to language classes and they have no means to improve their lives. Once in a while, an individual is able to work as a day laborer and earn a small amount. But a good portion of those earnings are spent on phone calls and Internet access in order to stay in touch with their loved ones at home and in other countries.
They have the temporary permits to remain in Italy and can travel to other parts of Europe. But they are not allowed to remain in any other country, only the first point of landing. One young man told us that he managed to get to Switzerland, where refugees receive much more government support. So desperate was he to get out of Italy, he used a lit cigarette to burn the fingerprints off of his ten fingers. He was caught and detained until his fingers were completely healed. Because of the fingerprinting system that is shared with border control agencies throughout the European Union, he was immediately deported back to Italy.
Despite all they had been through, these young men are realistic, reflective of where they are and what the future looks like and, most of all, able to laugh at the insanity of it all.
On the last day of our visit, there was news of the arrival in the port of Lampedusa of a large contingent of refugees, mostly Eritreans, Ethiopians, Somali and Sudanese. This was indeed surprising news as the recent agreement between Libya and Italy had almost ceased the boat arrivals.
Libya received several billion Euros in exchange for detaining and preventing refugees from making the journey across the Mediterranean Sea. The bilateral agreement was celebrated in Italy as a major victory for the right wing government of Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. According to Berlusconi, the pact would put an end to the refugee problem. For migrants now trying to get to Europe, the cost of the journey across the sea alone has gone up from $1,200 before the Libyan blockade to $2,800.
The facts of the boat's arrival as we learned later in the day were that it contained 298 refugees who had been rescued at sea in bad condition. About 15 were women and 9 children. One young Somali man was dead for reasons that could not be determined. Fearing the breakout of illness because of this, the entire group was quarantined and prevented from meeting any outsiders, including members of the media.
As the stories unfold in the course of our visit, we will continue to share with you the details of our findings.
Note: By request of many of the young men who spoke with us, we are unable to share the names or photos; they fear reprisals against them or members of their families back home.

Typical – It is all the fault of the intolerant European Indigenous populations, no one ever remarks that whatever anyone else may call them, that when they are in your town, they are no longer "immgrants", or "asylum seekers", they become "settlers" or "colonists", taking employment and housing from the indigenous population, or if not, then living of their tax revenues..↓
Every African is happy to be at home but African migrate in search of better pastures because politically and economically Africans have been robbed of their livelihood by the West either through Colonialism or Slavery.The system of trade and the world today depends on the West.African governments are accused of corruption but the corruption is a result of the West so the African goes in search of his stolen treasure in the West,be it human resource or otherwise.We need a debate on this.↓
Zimbabwe is settled by white British settlers who occupy 80% of the farmable land.400 000 British settlers in a population of 15 million black Africans.In South Africa,out of 39 million people only 8 million are white Western settlers who occupy and control the farming land and economy.The black man is simply looking for survival in a foreign land,legally or otherwise when yet the Westerner,took over and keeps the land by force↓
Through the Berlin Conference of 1885, European exploitation and colonialism, Africa has been raped, its ppl have been degraded and it's governmental leaders have lost track of their humanity. Europe/US/China are neo-colonizers today, exploiting Africa's resources, her humans and spirit. A truly united Africa is the only answer to the problems, we, the youth, must rise up, organize and carry the torch that has been past to us. If we, Africa's children, do not demand true justice and restore the dignity of our diverse continent, NO ONE ELSE WILL. In addition, we must understand that our brothers and sisters all over the world face similar types of social discrimination simply b/c of the color of their skin. Black people, my ppl Enough is enough!
skin. Common struggle leads to unity. Black people, transnationally we must stand up. Africa↓
And sadly, this same African saint was destroyed by an African immigrant. Shattered to pieces.↓

In July 2009, the United States signed but did not ratify the United Nations Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities (CRPD). The Convention is based on the ideals of the Americans with Disabilities Act, intended to empower persons with disabilities to be independent and productive citizens.
The need for this treaty is great - 650 million people, some 10 percent of the world's population, live with a disability. Now is the time to urge your Senators to ratify the Convention and support people with disabilities worldwide.

In July 2009, the United States signed but did not ratify the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). The Convention is based on the ideals of the Americans with Disabilities Act, intended to empower persons with disabilities to be independent and productive citizens.
The CRPD represents an international effort to bring the world closer to achieving the goals of equality of opportunity, full participation, independent living and economic self-sufficiency for people with disabilities. There is a great need for this treaty across the globe. Approximately 650 million people, some 10 percent of the world population, live with a disability—making them the world's largest minority. In developing countries, 90% of children with disabilities do not attend school. In the United States the unemployment rate for people with disabilities was 15% in 2011, nearly twice as high as the rate for those without disabilities (which was 8.7%).
The CRPD would also provide significant benefits at home too. It would make traveling and working abroad possible for more Americans, especially those who do so frequently, such as veterans with disabilities or military family members with disabilities.
The CRPD now stands at a crossroads. The CRPD was voted on in the Senate in December 2012, but—despite bipartisan support—failed by just five votes Now is the time to tell Congress to ratify the CRPD and support people with disabilities worldwide.
Jewish Values
The Reform Movement has long supported the rights of people with disabilities, drawing upon what we are taught in Leviticus 19:14, that "You shall not insult the deaf, or place a stumbling block before the blind." We are commanded to be proactive in bringing down barriers placed by society, whether intended or not, before people with disabilities.
In an historic collaboration, the Conservative, Orthodox, Reconstructionist and Reform Jewish Movements have come together to formHineinu, an innovative collaboration of the disability professionals from each stream sharing resources, support and direction in order to increase disability Inclusion in our synagogues for people of all abilities.
Every Jew has a right to practice their Judaism in the community of their choosing and we, as Jews, have a responsibility to ensure that this is both possible and practical. The four movements come together in affirmation that Inclusion is a Jewish value. Isaiah 56:5 teaches "For my house shall be a house of prayer for all people."
Take Action!
Contact your Senator and urge him or her to support the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The Capitol Switchboard can be reached at 202.224.3121.

To the editor:
Over the past two years, I have had the pleasure to work with Congressman John Tierney.
John has encouraged President Obama to bring a World Trade case forward against China, and the president listened. The United States is now holding China accountable for their unfair trade practices.
Congressman Tierney's voice for the middle and working class is strong. He knows they are key to a prosperous economy, is enforcing fair trade policies and saving American manufacturing jobs from being shipped overseas.
Now is the time to elect those who have a proven track record of supporting American manufacturing. Congressman John Tierney is that person.

I'm making it my mission this year to support fellow female creatives. Erica Hampton is my most recent victim.
I'm making it my mission this year to support fellow female creatives. Erica Hampton is my most recent victim.
Hey there. It's been a while. I've been neglecting this blog for quite some time. Most of my activity for the past year has been on Twitter, or Tumblr, or Facebook, but I'm making a change. I think it's time to come back home. This doesn't mean that I won't have a presence on all of those other social platforms, it just means I'll be sharing more of my personal life and original work here.
I've also been working full-time, heading up the original video team, at Disney Interactive. I don't work on the lot, but I visit often. I'll start sharing some of what I've been working on here, as well.
So, hello again. Welcome… and excuse the mess while I move the furniture around.
Tomorrow I'll be taking a plane ride to Paris to meet up with thirty-nine other young cultural leaders and misfits to discuss the notion of cultural rights as a fundamental right for every citizen.
The democratization of art and culture has never before been more possible than it is now with the web. It's why we were able to create an independent show like Epic Fu. It's why many of us are now able to make a living online. It's also why we must do everything in our power to protect it as a platform for creativity and innovation.
I'm excited to be included in these talks and want to make sure that I include you as well. I'd like to hear what your thoughts are on this subject, so I can share it with the group in Paris.
I'll be keeping this blog, Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Flickr/Instagram updated with information videos and photos as they come along. So make sure to check in if you're interested in this topic.
Should cultural rights be a fundamental human right? Should we be able to create without restriction? How does it tie into the current state of politics and technology? And what does it mean as cultural experiences becomes more fractured? How does it separate, how does it unify?
Should be a very interesting discussion. :)
*Cultural Leadership International program, the British Council aims to help a new generation of cultural leaders play an active role in building a more open and tolerant society.
So the question of the day (well, late night) is: Do you prefer to talk or text?
When I first moved out to Los Angeles a neighbor told me that within the first year I would lose 25% of my vocabulary. "The sun," he said, "it burns the words right off of your brain." I laughed.
Just a little something that made me smile on my birthday. A mantra for 2011, perhaps? ;)

Apple's Nehalem Xserve serves the need for speed
Sleek, new Mac OS X rack server sets a far higher bar for performance and power efficiencyFollow @infoworld
That's no typo, and you should set aside your inclination to write off STREAM as a predictor of real-world server performance. In SPECjbb2005 (Java business benchmark) tests, the original eight-core Xserve scored 36,688 operations per second, while Nehalem Xserve managed a score of 83,926.
With only 8GB of RAM to Nehalem Xserve's 24GB, the older server was underconfigured by modern standards, a fact that may have contributed to its poor showing despite the fact that the machine did not resort to paging processes out of RAM during testing. Poor scalability under parallel memory-intensive loads was a characteristic of Intel x86 pre-Nehalem, symptomatic of a bus architecture that imposed a heavy penalty on memory access. That penalty is gone.
The smooth scalability of Nehalem Xserve under rising parallel load in the SPECjbb2005 tests not only highlights the Nehalem architecture's improvements, but also Mac OS X Leopard Server's exploitation of the architecture. The kernel's deft assignment of tasks to processor cores and thread units, and its mapping of physical memory to leverage NUMA (non-uniform memory architecture), keeps Nehalem Xserve's six memory channels working together. It took Microsoft several years to fix Windows Server to make appropriate use of AMD64 NUMA, the model Intel adapted for Nehalem. If early benchmarks are any indication, Apple seems to have gotten NUMA right on its first try.
Ecofriendly -- to a point
The 2.26GHz Nehalem Xserve is probably the greenest server this side of UltraSPARC T2, and for many uses, it will outperform the eight-core, 3GHz model it replaces. Xserve meets Apple's exacting standards for environmentally responsible manufacturing -- it's so non-toxic that it's practically edible -- but in its maxed-out 2.93GHz, eight-core incarnation, Nehalem Xserve is more about high speed than low power. Mac OS X Leopard Server lacks the equivalent of Windows Server's energy profiles. There's no way to make the server less than it is for the sake of enhancing savings and quiet at times of low compute demand.
The new Xserve's power draw at idle is higher than that of the previous Xserve. That said, Xserve makes a greater effort than most rack servers to run as quietly as its workload permits. The fan array can get loud, but Xserve never emits the piercing high-frequency din that high-end 1U rack boxes can broadcast. Nehalem Xserve's noise is very effectively muffled by my GizMac XRackPro.
One power-saving option holds great appeal for shops that make heavy use of networked storage. Apple now sells a 128GB solid-state (flash) boot drive for Xserve. This can greatly reduce power consumption, heat, and noise, and with no seek or rotational latency, the system loads the kernel and apps lightning fast. This comes at the expense of write speed, though. With its plentiful cache, further abetted by the cache on the server's optional hardware RAID controller (highly recommended), a single 1TB Western Digital SATA drive was two to three times faster in write performance than the SSD. Look to the solid-state drive option to simplify and slim your Xserve, not to speed it up.
The lack of power controls is a shame because no x86 server is better equipped to make smart decisions about power than Xserve. The temperature, voltage, and current draw of most major components are tracked continuously and reported to Xserve's independent system management controller, which Apple calls the "LOM," for "lights-out management." LOM data is readable with Apple's Server Monitor GUI or the ipmitool command-line utility. The LOM shares one of Xserve's two gigabit Ethernet ports, using its own IP address and security credentials.
Apple's Server Monitor GUI provides power control and boot image selection when Xserve is shut down.

Let's Plays are cool. At first, I wasn't really a fan for them because I just couldn't see the appeal - it seemed like one of those situations where it's fun to make the product, but not fun to use it (in this case; watch them). Lately, I've come to my senses and realized just how incredibly good these are for the gaming industry on so many different levels. Let me take you into my mind as I rant on about this and hope to make something coherent for todays blog post!
For those of you who have somehow steered clear of youtube for the past few years, allow me to enlighten you about what an LP actually is; In its basic form, a Let's Play is a video of someone playing a game. It may sound uninteresting to some, and that's because they're actually so much more than this. I'm going to try to document a few cases of what LPs actually are, and hope to make them sound a little more interesting than that bland description!
Let's Plays are... Fun to watch.
Quite simply, they just are. You're watching a funny person or persons play this game that you've likely already played before, and they're having fun and this makes you feel like you're having fun with them. They joke about the game, you laugh. They have a problem, you can actually help them for their next episode. It's like a fun TV show that allows you to talk to the presenters between the episodes; I guess that's because it actually is.
For some games, like Minecraft, you can just picture the LP being a show that just happens to be set in ...

Sortable Content
I have added the following drag and drop / sortable widget script to my BuddyPress / WordPress site and it works great.
However, I am trying to add the option selecting the widgets content in the "edit" section. I can get the widget to pull excerpts and thumbs from wordpress and fill the widget box, but it would be awesome if the category of news was selectable by the user – as an edit option of the widget.
You could also (possibly) make the BuddyPress members / groups / featured members widgets sortable too!
Is this even possible? If so, it would make one hell of a plugin / addition to WordPress and BuddyPress!

So, is this a game changer for the ultralight/lightweight/alpine crowd for a super warm belay jacket? Mont Bell Mirage: www.montbell.us/products/disp.php?p_id=2301365 My synthetic Thermawrap with a hood weighs 12 oz. and I bet it's not as warm as this. Anyone tried this in the field yet? Oh, and for those naysayers about cost - I'm really looking regarding performance. I know you can get cheaper options. I just want to discuss whether this new jacket has any merit...
i think if you sneeze down will go flying everywhere? 7D is nothing. Probably crazy warm though
there are already jacket out there that have 40%+ of the weight as down IMO if you are willing to pay full price ... wait to see if this fancy nanotech down water resistant treatment really works and lasts ... now THAT could be a "game changer"
I did a lot of homework prior to picking my new UL down. I was really impressed with the Mirage's down to overall weight ratio. However upon trying this jacket on I quickly became uncomfortable with the paper thin shell(Great material for the liner). Given that I would be using this jacket on ice/mixed/alpine routes I envisioned $50 worth of down flying in the breeze with one wrong move. That said I did end up going with a very similar jacket. The RAB Infinity Endurance (Should be arriving today!!) I found it for $280 online & liked the color options a bit more. The RAB's 10D quantum Pertex GL felt a bit more substantial. Hopefully the factory DWR treatment will add to its abrasion resistance. Still gonna have to watch those Sharp points and rough granite though.
Wow! An actual good discussion so far! I wondered about how "fragile" this whole thing would be. 7D sounds pretty light. I will totally have to check out that Rab Infinity Endurance. Wonder if it's as warm... Backcountry misrepresents it's weight by the way at 7oz. It's actually 17oz according to the Rab site. Let us know what it's like in the field. I'll probably go check the Mont Bell out at the local Pro Mountain Sports shot soon. BTW, I also agree in regards to the "dry-down" technology. I believe it hasn't reached prime time - why? Still almost as heavy as synthetic and still very expensive. I think I'll pretty much do either (synthetic or down) exclusively until it becomes more viable. Your points about the durability is not lost on me... Ice Climbing and fragile jackets can be kinda dangerous ;-)
The shell seems durable enough to me on the Mirage. Not like I am going to be thugging up any off widths in it. Good call Cale.
Anyone know if the old Cloudveil Inversion jackets were made with the same Mirage material that this new Montlbell jacket is made of?
So, after this discussion about the Mirage... what about this? A full 6 oz heavier? Way more expensive? www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-gear/clothing-apparel/jackets/>>> Dane? Others? Discuss?
Dane's review of the Mirage reports 3.5 inches of double-sided loft. If the article's mention of 1.5 inches of loft in the body of the Encapsil is accurate (assuming that means one-sided), then 3 or even 3.5 inches of loft is about the same as the Mirage. That is not the last word on warmth due to the importance of down density and the cut of each jacket, but it's still worth mentioning. The Encapsil looks to be cut a bit longer than the Mirage. The Mirage's lighter 7d face fabric may have something to do with it being able to expand more fully, but who knows? The hood on the Encapsil looks really nice. The Encapsil's price includes free high tech cleaning, inspection, and repair forever. They will send you a free shipping label to do that up to twice per year. The cleaning they offer is supposed to ensure the 1000 fill down lasts. The Mirage's price is supposed to come down to $309 for the coming season. Campsaver and Backcountry Gear already have it at that retail price. The Encapsil looks awesome, but what I see is a jacket more than twice as expensive, 30-40% heavier, and maybe not much warmer than the Mirage.
www.patagonia.com/us/product/patagonia-encapsil-down-belay-p>>> This Patagonia entry looks very lustful. (but pricey)
What I didn't realize about Encapsil is that it's WATER REPELLENT TREATED. If that stuff works even at all, this 6 oz more jacket has a place - simply because it competes more with a synthetic jacket than the Mirage. I live in the Pacific Northwest, so my down jackets don't get a lot of work - unless it's fairly close to ultra dry.
I've been using the Rab Infinity jacket for two years now and it still looks as if I walked out of the shop with it yesterday, which frankly is damned impressive. It has been used for absolutely everything from walking to the pub to Scottish winter climbing to rolling around on top/bottom of crags whilst photographing bouldering/trad stuff. The Pertex outer is significantly more durable than it first appears. I'm a skinny guy and feel the cold BADLY but the Infinity keeps me toasty warm when standing around in freezing temps easily. It's my go-to piece during the winter. I can't speak for the Mirage at all but big thumbs up for the Infinity!
Oh, speaking of hydrophobic down, expect to see most manufacturers using it in their Winter 2013 ranges. Rab will be using it in all their down products for one.
Bought the Patagonia encapsil jacket. Delivered today. Light, well made, puffy. Don't think my Dually parka will see much use going forward.

Thanksgiving may be the great feast day, but for many, it's the day after that has moms celebrating.
Black Friday carries the anticipation of getting your entire Christmas list knocked out cheaply and efficiently in one day.
Or maybe not.
I've had successful and unsuccessful Black Fridays, and trust me, to get the former, you need to strategize. Here are some tips to remember before hitting the aisles:
1. Gather all the pertinent information you need to effectively shop. Who needs a gift? What are their preferences? Where do they shop?
2. When it comes to clothing, what are their sizes, favorite colors and most complementary styles? (It's not a good idea to get a caftan for someone who should be wearing straight lines.)
3. When it comes to household items, what is their color scheme and style of décor? It doesn't make sense to give something frilly to someone whose home is ultracontemporary.
4. When it comes to recreational items, what do they already have? Is your gift meant to complement it, as in a game, attachment or accessory? My son gave me a couple of really specific suggestions for computer games and reiterated—twice—that they were for PC.
He reminded me—twice—that we no longer have an Xbox. I've heard plenty of stories from moms who have bought games during sales that were not for the right equipment, which created disappointment Christmas morning.
5. Check out advertised sales. That doesn't mean just in the media; go to the actual store you think will have your desired items and see if it is promoting a Black Friday sale. Ask the clerks—yes, many will tell you! Keep a log of where you've been and what was available there.
6. Go on the store websites and see if they'll offer you a deal if you buy online—many do! You'll save gas and time if you can order it through the Web; however, you may incur shipping costs, and it'll be up to you to decide if the gas money saved is worth the mailing expense. Some websites will waive shipping costs on Black Friday.
7. Check store websites for coupons and see if the coupons can be used in addition to any Black Friday discounts. You may find you get a better deal holding off until after the holiday sale and using the coupon if it can't be used on sale items.
8. Map out your route. Which stores are in the same proximity? You waste gas zigzagging around town if you don't have a plan of what you're buying and where.
9. Gas up your car a day or two ahead of time, and have snacks stashed in it for "refueling" between stops. You may decide to eat at one of the shopping centers as part of the experience, but in the event you don't, you're going to get hungry!
10. Dress comfortably but not like a slob. The metro Atlanta area is no different from most of the world when it comes to service: If you dress for respect, you're more likely to get it from the clerks.
11. Keep your receipts and your shopping bags. Both will make it easier to return items if your gifts didn't quite hit the mark.
12. Hide your purchases in your vehicle. I usually make sure I take the car with the trunk. And if I think someone's watching to see where I parked, I either take the long way to my car, or head to a security guard and strike up a conversation until the person—or feeling—goes away.
A lot of thefts happen this time of year, and you don't want someone to do their "shopping" in your vehicle because they liked what they saw in the window.
13. Don't let yourself be distracted at the register by something that looks like a "great buy." As my late mother used to say, "It's not a bargain if you don't need it!" There's a reason why they call it "Black Friday"—it's the day stores count on to get into black ink instead of red on their account books. Just make sure it's not at your expense!
Happy shopping!

1 pound of beets
1/2 cup of shelled walnuts
3 garlic cloves, peeled
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 cup of chopped cilantro
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon of dried summer savory
or parsley (optional)
1/4 teaspoon of ground coriander seed
1 or 2 teaspoons of red wine vinegar (to taste)
Bake the unpeeled beets at 375°F for 1 to 1. 5 hours, until tender. (The beets may be boiled instead, but roasting imparts a delicious flavor.) While the beets are cooking, grind together walnuts, garlic and salt. Add the cilantro and summer savory or parsley, and continue to grind, make a fine paste. Transfer to a bowl.
Peel the beets when they are soft, and finely grate them in the food processor. In a medium size bowl mix together the grated beets and the ground walnut mixture. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Keep tasting, adding enough vinegar to counteract the sweetness of the beets. The mkhali should be slightly tart.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, and bring to room temperature before serving. Mount on a plate, and decorate the top with a bit of chopped cilantro or parsley.

A man who's combative behavior was a factor in a Burleigh County Deputies death has been released from jail.
Robbie Roberson has pleaded guilty to terrorizing, preventing arrest and fleeing.
His charges center around a September 2011 traffic stop where Roberson threatened to kill deputies.
Authorities say it was Roberson's combative actions that caused so much stress, Burleigh County Deputy Bryan Sleeper had a heart attack and died.
Roberson was sentenced to five years in prison with credit for the two years he has been in jail.
The rest of his sentence is suspended.
Roberson was released from the Burleigh County jail and will be on probation for five years.
He is required to continue to take his medication and treatment while on probation.
Roberson's mental health competency has been an issue during the course of this case.

I've used these contacts for over 10 years now and I've never experienced any problems whatsoever. They are so easy to put in and remove. When I first started wearing contacts I was terrified that I'd feel these contacts in my eyes but you don't. It is like you have nothing at all on your eye and yet you can see perfectly!! My vision is -4.25 in contacts and -4.75 in glasses so I'm lost without wearing something. I can honestly say that I see so crisp and clear with these contacts in. I wear them from about 8am until 8pm. I wear them in the shower even. I never sleep in these contacts and I really wouldn't recommend anyone doing that. There have been very few times at night when I remove them and they feel sticky from being dry. Over 10 years this has happened maybe twice. I always clean them at night in solution and they are moist and perfect by morning. Also, I've never had any issues with torn contacts either.

Switched from Acuvue 2 to these after my optometrist mentioned they wouldn't be making the Acuvue 2 anymore. Unfortunately, I didn't test out the sample pair she gave me before ordering more. After switching I'm very unhappy. These are much more uncomfortable. They retain their shape, so if I forget to check that they're lying flat in their case at night, when I put them in the next day they're misshapen and painful. After a few days of wear, they begin to blur badly toward the end of the day. My prescription strength increased with my last visit, and I was excited for new lenses to improve my vision, but these are almost worse than my old lenses. As I'm typing this review, after having these Advance lenses in for just about ten hours, I can barely read what I type because they're so blurry!

Don't Be Fooled
By Lesson Learner
from North Carolina
I read the other reviews before purchasing these contacts and the worse review noted that the contacts did not retain their shape. "Big deal", I thought. How WRONG I was! If a contact folds while trying to put it in your eye, well you can just guess. The first two days were perfect. They went in with ease, I couldn't feel them all day, clear vision, the works. I've been wearing them for less than a week and after the first two wears it has taken me 35 to 40 mins each morning to put my contacts in! Horrible! They irritate my eyes and my vision was blurred. I am returning these as soon as possible.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Texas Rangers Manager Ron Washington was making the rounds at the MLB winter meetings Wednesday, talking baseball and wondering if he'll have outfielder Josh Hamilton back again next year.
"We're still in the running for Josh," Washington said. "I'm not thinking about that part of it yet, but if that was the case, that's where our youth that we feel strongly about, they would have to just step up if there wasn't anything out there that we as a group felt could come in help us. We'll never replace Josh, if that happened, but we hope that doesn't happen and we're still in the running."
The most likely deal now is said to be four years, not the seven years that Hamilton and his agent would like. But at four years, there is always a chance that a team will step forward and try to top anything that Texas has on the table.
"Years are going to be the issue," said MLB Network baseball analyst John Hart. "I think it was from the very beginning and I think it is for a lot of players that are in their early thirties that are playing premium defensive positions, and how far do you want to go?"
"Will he get more than three years? Yes, I think he'll get more than three years," said senior reporter for MLB on Fox Ken Rosenthal. "I don't know where he'll get it, how he'll get it, or who will give it to him, but I do think some team will step up."
Right now, Texas appears to have as good a shot as any team to re-sign Hamilton.
"I've maintained since early November that the conversations that I was getting from people was that the environment for him to return was improving on a daily basis, and people started to survey the market and saw that there is really nobody out there who can do what Josh does," said Dallas Morning News baseball columnist Evan Grant. "It just created an environment where it was more likely that he'll return."
Washington is keeping his fingers crossed and said Hamilton told the Rangers that'll he'll come back to them to discuss a final offer before leaving for any team.

Our Science – Rein Website
Alan Rein, Ph.D.
Mechanisms in Retroviral Replication and Pathogenesis
The goal of the research efforts in the Retroviral Assembly Section is to extend our understanding of basic mechanisms in retroviral replication and pathogenesis. Our hope is that this understanding will lead to new methods of combatting retrovirus-induced disease, including AIDS.
There appear to be several different modes of interaction between retroviral proteins and nucleic acids, each with important functional consequences for viral replication. First, an exquisitely specific recognition by the Gag polyprotein (the structural protein of the virus particle) selects the viral RNA for packaging during virus assembly. This recognition involves zinc fingers in the protein. We are studying the mechanism by which the Gag protein recognizes and packages the genomic RNA of the virus during assembly in vivo. Our research strongly suggests that the recognition signal involves the three-dimensional structure formed by a dimer of genomic RNA molecules. We are studying the structure of the dimer linkage and its possible role in packaging of viral RNA. We have found that virus particles lacking genomic RNA contain cellular mRNA molecules in place of the viral RNA. While the majority of mRNA species are packaged into the virions nonselectively, there are a few species that are significantly enriched. We are currently analyzing the mechanism of this enrichment; it is possible that this will help us understand how Gag normally recognizes the viral RNA during wild-type particle assembly.
We have analyzed the properties of recombinant HIV-1 Gag protein in some detail. When nucleic acid is added to Gag, the protein assembles into virus-like particles. This is a very nonspecific interaction: almost any nucleic acid will support assembly. These particles are significantly smaller than authentic viral particles, but particles of the correct size are formed if inositol phosphates, as well as nucleic acid, are provided to the protein. In the absence of nucleic acid, the protein is in monomer-dimer equilibrium, using the previously described interface within the C-terminal domain of its capsid moiety. We generated a mutant of Gag that remains monomeric at relatively high concentrations. We have subjected this mutant protein to a series of hydrodynamic and biophysical analyses. These results, together with modeling studies, indicate that the protein is folded over in solution, with its N and C termini relatively close together in three-dimensional space. Since Gag molecules are extended rods in immature virus particles, they must undergo a drastic conformational change during particle assembly. Collaborative studies using neutron reflectivity and other techniques have now shown that Gag extends when preferred ligands are available for both its N-terminal ('matrix') domain and its C-terminal ('nucleocapsid') domain. Interestingly, these properties of HIV-1 Gag are not shared with the Gag protein from another retrovirus, Moloney murine leukemia virus.
Gag is also a nucleic acid chaperone, and participates in the annealing of a cellular tRNA molecule to the viral RNA, where the tRNA will serve as primer for viral DNA synthesis.
The mechanism by which nucleic acid promotes particle assembly by the Gag protein is not known. We recently reported that a very short region of Gag, termed 'SP1,' undergoes a conformational change when it is at high concentration. We proposed that this region 'senses' the local Gag concentration, and that the increased Gag concentration resulting from cooperative binding to nucleic acid would thus lead to a change in Gag conformation, exposing new interfaces required for particle assembly. This hypothesis would explain the contribution of nucleic acid to particle assembly. Current studies are devoted to testing this hypothesis and exploring its implications.
We are also studying the mechanism by which the restriction factor mouse APOBEC3 blocks infection by murine retroviruses. This restriction, unlike retroviral restriction by human APOBEC3G, does not involve hypermutation of G to A in the viral genome.
We recently participated in a collaborative study on the HIV-1 Rev Response Element (RRE), a structure in HIV-1 RNA that is recognized by the virus-coded protein Rev in the export of unspliced viral RNAs from the nucleus. Using small-angle X-ray scattering, our colleague Yun-Xing Wang showed that the RRE folds into an 'A' shape, and that the two primary Rev binding sites are opposite each other on the legs of the A. They are separated by a distance of 55 angstrom. This distance corresponds to the length of a dimer of Rev, suggesting that this unusual topology can explain the specificity of Rev for the RRE. We tested this hypothesis by assaying the functional capabilities of a number of RRE mutants; all of the results supported the idea that the distance between the two sites is the key to RRE function. We are continuing to dissect the RRE and to explore the implications of these results for antiviral therapy.

Frequently Asked Questions
You're always talking about superfoods. What is a superfood anyway?I define a superfood as a nutrient-dense natural food … a food that has the most amount of nutrients per calorie. I'm not interested in semantics, and see "superfoods" as a general philosophy of eating: an ongoing adventure to acquire the very best foods available (and transform them into delicious cuisine).
What are the calorie contents and nutrition values of the recipes you post?When Julie bring foods into my kitchen, Julie don't track calories, She collect nutrients. Julie also aim to make recipes that are loosely "balanced" in macro nutrients as well (fats, protein, and carbohydrates). If you're keeping track, She recommend using one of the free online counters like FitDay.com to find out the quantity of nutrients in the recipes, and then divide your results by the number of servings.
Is Julie a nutritionist or dietitian?No. Nor a doctor. She is simply a chef who loves working with the best foods I can get my hands on, and I find it rewarding to share the results of my research. I appreciate the work that goes on in these fields, but for the average person I also believe one should not have to get a degree in health to understand how to eat well.
Favorite food?Cacao. Always and forever…

The Clippers had three players with double-doubles and everyone scored as they won easily in Milwaukee.
It probably should have been a little easier, but in the end the Clippers got their eighth straight win, beating the Bobcats in Charlotte. The Clippers never trailed after the first period and ran...
With a win in Chicago Monday night the Clippers have now won seven in a row. It is their longest winning streak since 1991. Griffin led the way with 22 points and 10 rebounds.
The starters all played less than 30 minutes as the Clippers pulled away with a 25-10 fourth quarter to top the Toronto Raptors.
The Clippers got another chance to rest their starters Saturday, as they rolled over the Suns in an 18-point blowout at home.
The Clippers led from wire to wire in their 22 point victory over the Mavericks. Jamal Crawford scored 20 and Blake Griffin and Chris Paul each had double doubles in the impressive win.
The Clippers trailed by 14 with two minutes left in the third quarter but came back to record just their third win in Utah in their last 45 trips there.
I mean smother. They put a pillow over the Kings collective head and that was that.
The Clippers snap their four game losing streak and welcome Chauncey Billups back to the lineup in his first action since injuring his Achilles tendon 10 months ago
It didn't come as easily as their other wins this season, but the Clippers won their sixth straight, beating the Spurs in the AT&T Center for only the second time ever, but also the second time in...

A central Iowa woman has been arrested for hanging one of her boyfriend's three dogs in the garage. Police say she killed the dog because it was old and sick.
28-year-old Sheena Cornwell was arrested Saturday evening after her boyfriend came home to discover the dog.
Des Moines Police Officer Greg Catron says Cornwell didn't seem to appear remorseful about killing Lily, who was a pit bull mix.
Cornwell was released a few hours after her arrest but her phone number was disconnected. She faces a charge of animal torture.
Cornwell's boyfriend told police he wanted to get a restraining order against her

Re : Helmet stickers
Submitted by community_manager on Tue, 10/01/2012 - 10:20.
Hello Bjorn, We do not recommend using anykind of stickers except the official set that we provide for Alveo or Vertex Helmets. Regarding the inspection of your helmets we recommend that you remove the stickers to clearly view the shell, to remove the glue use a gentle cloth to clean the surface with methylated spirit, do not dip the helmet in the methylated spirit. In the future avoid the personalisation of the helmets except if done with the specific petzl sticker kit and specific application areas. Thank you for your interest. Sincerely

I know some great books showing sketches, hand drawing and how to draw manually and so on. "Design with Confidence" for example. But I wonder I can find sketches on web.
Does anybody knows where I can find such thing on the net? At least it shows images of sketches or hand drawing where it's manually drawn or coloured. I still need many references to learn how to draw.
Thank you.

The agency is requesting feedback from mortgage industry professionals on all aspects of the proposed single security structure and in particular, issues regarding the transition from the current system to a single security.
"With the acquisition of AllRegs, Ellie Mae will expand its customer base and add a broad array of content and services that complement our portfolio of product offerings," says Sig Anderman, CEO of Ellie Mae.
In a survey of loan officers commissioned by the Federal Reserve Board, more than half said the CFPB's ability-to-repay/qualified mortgage rule has reduced approval rates for certain types of mortgages.
SIGTARP once again disses mortgage servicers for failing to keep up with the volume of applications for HAMP as well as the Treasury Department for failing to do a better job of overseeing servicers' HAMP activities.
The CFPB is proposing to exempt lenders that originate fewer than 25 mortgages a year from its new HMDA reporting rules. In addition, financial institutions with a large number of reported transactions would be required to submit HMDA data on a quarterly, rather than annual, basis.

Thread: More upside at Linebacker
More upside at Linebacker
Return To Form
By BlueGoldNews.com
Date: Jun 9, 2005
After spending a frustrating season recovering from shoulder surgery, Grant Wiley is looking to make his mark in the NFL with the Minnesota Vikings.
"It's so good to be back on the field playing instead of standing on the sidelines watching," former Mountaineer All-American Grant Wiley told BlueGoldNews.com. "I've been fully cleared to play, and I'm 100% and ready to go."
Wiley participated in the Vikings' first short mini-camp a couple of weeks ago, and is now taking part in their developmental camp.
"Everyone is at this camp," said the player who reset the standard for outstanding linebacker play at West Virginia. "It's a little different than the first mini-camp, because we only have one practice per day, but it's longer. We started last week, and are going thing week and part of next week. After that, we'll just lift and run until preseason camp begins next month."
Wiley got off to an impressive start with the Vikings during his rookie preseason last year, and appears to have picked up right where he left off in 2004.
"I talked with Coach Tice the other day, and he said he was happy with my progress," said Wiley, who is often his ouwn toughest critic. "I think I'm doing pretty well. I know most of the schemes and things I'm supposed to be doing, but I still learn something every day."
While sitting out last season, Wiley did as much studying as he could to learn the Minnesota defense, but as any player will tell you, there are some things you can't learn from watching video or studying a playbook. On-field repetitions are vital in grasping the little things that make the difference in being fully comfortable with a player's assignments, and Wiley admits that he is still picking up knowledge.
"It's a completely different defense from what we played at West Virginia, so I've had to re-learn everything," he continued. "I think it's coming along pretty well, though."
When the developmental camp ends next week, the players will be released to go their own way until preseason camps open in July, but Wiley doesn't plan to stray far from the Vikings'practice facility.
"In my situation, where I was injured last year, I want to keep my face around here," Wiley said. "I plan to keep working and running to get ready for the season."
Given Wiley's love of the game, it's likely that he would have remained at the Vikings camp to work out no matter what his situation. However, he understands the nature of the NFL business, and thus is taking every chance to grab the attention of the coaching staff as he battles for a spot on the roster. Take his performance to date, add in his work ethic and his level of play so far, and it certainly looks as if he is making all the right moves to realize his NFL dreams

Americans have had a growing love affair with Mexican food for years, and the holiday of Cinco de Mayo (literally, the fifth of May) is a perfect excuse to round up your friends for a spring fiesta. Set the mood with red, green, orange, and pink tablecloths, paper banners, and merry mariachi music. Try a do-it-yourself quesadilla bar, which will free you up to enjoy the party. On a long table or counter, place flavored tortillas (wrapped in a dish towel to keep them warm) alongside bowls of store-bought ingredients, such as precooked chicken and shredded cheese, and a couple of homemade toppings. Guests can sandwich their favorite filling between two tortillas and heat them on a quesadilla maker until the cheese melts. Then comes the fun part -- whacking and cracking the pinata, which you can hang with fishing twine in a wide doorway or outside from a tree branch. Each person is blindfolded and takes a turn swinging a broomstick at the papier-mache creation filled with toys and candy for the kids and gift certificates -- say for movie tickets or DVD rentals -- for the adults. Your guests are sure to leave in high spirits.
