Camp Casey, Crawford, Texas
Camp Casey was the name given to the encampment of anti-war protesters outside the Prairie Chapel Ranch in Crawford, Texas during US President George W. Bush's five-week summer vacation there in 2005, named after Iraq War casualty US Army Specialist Casey Sheehan.
It was founded by Cindy Sheehan after she failed to get a second meeting with President Bush for an explanation of the cause for which her son, Casey, died. Having been turned away, she pitched a tent by the side of the road and announced her intention to stay, day and night, for the full five weeks or until such a meeting is granted. She also promised that, if she were not granted a second meeting, she would return to Crawford each time Bush visited.[1]
Other members of Gold Star Families for Peace and other anti-Iraq War activists joined them, camped in public land, such as ditches by the road.
A local property owner provided them with a place to camp, which became known as "Camp Casey II."
Two weeks after the establishment of "Camp Casey," counter-protestors established their own camp nearby.
Administration Response[edit]
There had been reports that the police had threatened to arrest all protesters on site on Thursday, August 11, 2005 when Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice would be at the president's nearby ranch. However, no arrests in connection with the protest were made. President George W. Bush did speak to reporters at his ranch, saying:
- "I sympathize with Mrs. Sheehan. She feels strongly about her position, and she has every right in the world to say what she believes. This is America. She has a right to her position, and I thought long and hard about her position. I've heard her position from others, which is: 'Get out of Iraq now.' And it would be a mistake for the security of this country and the ability to lay the foundations for peace in the long run if we were to do so." [2]
Prior to going on a bicycle ride on his Texas ranch on August 13, 2005 Bush gave journalists and aides a defense of his not meeting with Sheehan stating, as reported by Ken Herman of Cox Enterprises:
- "I think it's important for me to be thoughtful and sensitive to those who have got something to say. But I think it's also important for me to go on with my life, to keep a balanced life ... I think the people want the president to be in a position to make good, crisp decisions and to stay healthy. And part of my being is to be outside exercising. So I'm mindful of what goes on around me. On the other hand, I'm also mindful that I've got a life to live and will do so."[3]
Sheehan later issued a statement, which among other things outlined the purpose of the protest.[4]
Beyond Sheehan[edit]
When Sheehan had to go to Los Angeles on August 18, after her 74-year-old mother suffered a stroke,[5] she said she would be back when she could and that she would follow Bush to Washington at the end of his vacation. "Camp Casey" remained active in her absence, with over 150 protesters sleeping in tents or cars,[6] and hundreds more participating sporadically. During this time, Bush flew to another state to continue his vacation with a fishing trip. Less than two days later (still during the scheduled vacation), he and his administration began a new public relations campaign to rally support for the war in Iraq. The campaign was primarily set in Idaho and Utah.
During Sheehan's vigil, a number of organizations and individuals expressed and provided support to the activists at "Camp Casey." One of these was the national organization Veterans for Peace, at whose convention Sheehan spoke just prior to beginning her vigil in Crawford. Members of the organization also assisted at the "Camp Casey" site, installing and maintaining the Arlington West display there.
The website MoveOn.org announced on August 10, 2005 that it was gathering comments via email to place in a two-page newspaper spread in a Sunday edition of the Waco Tribune newspaper in support of Sheehan and her efforts. MoveOn gathered more than 250,000 comments, many of which were included in the advertisement.[7] Tom Matzzie of MoveOn said:
- "In her grief and bravery, Cindy has become a symbol for millions of Americans who demand better answers about the Iraq war. Though right-wing pundits have attacked her personally, her honesty is unimpeachable. Now more and more mothers (and fathers, brothers, sisters, wives, husbands, sons and daughters) are standing up with Cindy. Please join us, and together, we'll make sure that President Bush can't escape the reality of this war—even in Crawford, Texas."
Supporters pointed out that the Crawford protest highlighted the Bush administration's belief in selective violence and the claim that the President failed to take responsibility for the deaths of those he commanded.[8]
On the week of August 8, 2005 several other groups were reported traveling to Texas to join the protest. Sherry Bohlen, field director of the Progressive Democrats of America (PDA), was one person traveling to Crawford, and said of the protest:
- "We'll be sleeping in a tent in the ditch along the roadside (the only place that the authorities will allow us to be). I spoke with Cindy by phone again yesterday. She said that local authorities have told her that if we're still there by Thursday we'll be arrested as "national security risks"... She could well be the Rosa Parks of the movement against the Iraq War. Just as Rosa refused to leave the bus, Cindy is refusing to leave the roadside. She's the spark that is igniting the anti-war movement."
On August 9, 2005, Sheehan began writing a blog concerning (among other things) her experience at Camp Casey, her thoughts on the Iraq War, and her response to right-wing criticism of her. It was featured on several websites, including The Huffington Post, Daily Kos, and Michael Moore.com.
She spoke at the laissez-faire Ludwig von Mises Institute, whose founder and president, the free-market capitalist Lew Rockwell, regularly features Sheehan's columns on his website.
Parents of other troops killed in Iraq[edit]
On August 17, 2005, Jane and Jim Bright, parents of slain Army Sgt. Evan Ashcroft, attended a vigil in support of Sheehan, saying "their son's memory would not be lost in the anti-war movement." They also said their son, like Sheehan's son, "was a hero who died for what he believed in." Jim Bright went on to say "People are looking inside themselves and saying, is this war worth it?".[9]
Celeste Zappala, mother of slain Sgt. Sherwood Baker, the first Pennsylvania National Guardsman to die in Iraq, arrived at Camp Casey on August 9 and met with Sheehan.[10] Zappala would become a co-founder of Gold Star Families for Peace, acting as a voice for many of their campaigns[11] and pledging to continue the protest at Camp Casey after Sheehan chose to leave.[12]
Minnesota State Senator Becky Lourey, a vocal critic of the Iraq War, and mother of fallen Army helicopter pilot Matthew Lourey, traveled to Crawford to protest Bush's refusal to meet with Sheehan. "There is an isolation here of President Bush from the people," said Lourey. "(and)it seems to me as I am looking around that it is wrong, that a person who makes life and death decisions is insulated from the people who suffer the consequences of those decisions". She also traveled to Crawford to grieve and support her fellow military parent, stating that she wanted to "put her arms around" Sheehan and offer her support.[13]
Lynn Bradach, mother of Marine Cpl. Travis Bradach-Nall, who died from a land mine explosion in Iraq during the summer of 2004, travelled from Portland, Oregon to Crawford to join Sheehan in her vigil. "'I don't want to be a center of anything,' said Bradach. 'But when you strongly believe something, at some point you have to stand up for it." [14]
Karen Meredith, whose son, Army Lt. Ken Ballard, was killed in Iraq in May 2004,[15] defended Sheehan, saying, "Some people are trying to paint her as one crazy woman against the war, and she's not. A lot of people feel like her and want to know what the noble cause is." [16]
Linda Ryan, mother of Corporal Marc T. Ryan, a Marine who was killed in Ramadi, says of Sheehan: "She's going about this not realizing how many people she's hurting. When she refers to anyone killed in Iraq, she's referring to my son. She doesn't have anything to say about what happened to my son," [17]
On August 15, 2005, Matt and Toni Matula, parents of Matthew Matula, a Texas Marine killed in Iraq, requested that the white cross representing their dead son as a victim of the war in Iraq be removed, stating that they did not wish their son's name to be part of an anti-war demonstration. Mr. Matula said: "It's fine for people to grieve their own way. It aggravates me to see them using other people's names to further their cause."[18]
Natalie Healy, mother of Dan Healy, a Navy SEAL who was killed in the line of duty in Afghanistan, organized a rally on August 20, 2005 in Portsmouth, New Hampshire in order to counteract Sheehan's message, stating: "We just want to let the fellas know that we're supporting them and that we're not going to wimp out on them." [19]
Gary Qualls whose son, Marine Corporal Louis Wayne Qualls died in Iraq, started what was dubbed "Fort Qualls" in Crawford, Texas to counter the "Camp Casey" protests. Qualls stated that he had to keep taking down the white cross bearing his son's name from the Arlington West display set up by "Camp Casey".[20]
Other camps[edit]
That summer the "Camp Casey phenomenon" [21] spread across America and camps were set up in hundreds of places to show sympathy for the Sheehan family. According to Cindy Sheehan, the first one erected was in Chico, California. These camps were sometimes called "peace camps" or named after a local who had died fighting overseas.

Freier Fall (2013)
dir: Stephan Lacant
A promising career with the police, a baby on the way... Marc's life seems to be right on track. Then he meets fellow policeman Kay and during their regular jogs Marc experiences a never-before-felt sense of ease and effortlessness -- and what it means to fall in love with another man. Torn between his family and his new feelings for Kay, Marc sees his world careening more and more out of control. Suddenly, his life is in free fall and Marc realizes that try as he may, he can't make everyone happy. Least of all, himself.

Finally! How to make Android USABLE: Install BlackBerry OS 10.2
The biggest update to BlackBerry OS 10 so far – version 10.2 – includes more than 300 changes, from new features to fixes for many niggles. In contrast to the the spasmodic and lengthy rollout phase of earlier releases, BlackBerry seems to have got its act together here, removing roadblocks between its servers and users: 10.2 is …
"a better DOS than DOS and a better Windows than Windows"
So developers no longer have to develop applications for BlackBerry OS to have them run on BlackBerry phones. I wonder if history will repeat itself? Then again RIM doesn't have many options at the moment. Still...
Re: "a better DOS than DOS and a better Windows than Windows"
This has literally been the case since the PlayBook landed.
Presumably allowing Android Applications makes the already completely compromised BB10 OS even less secure.....
Not sure you know what you are talking about here...you cannot sideload Android conversions into the Work area, they will only be installed on the personal side and as such sensitive work information such as emails. calendar, contracts, intranet etc, cannot be accessed. This is also the case for Android ports that are downloaded from BB World.
BB10 has been certified by numerous agencies around the world as secure - however if you have any proof to the contrary please publish it.
"BB10 has been certified by numerous agencies around the world as secure - however if you have any proof to the contrary please publish it."
BB10 was already completely compromised by a Flash exploit. They fixed that, but it demonstrates that the architecture is not sandboxed, and that once compromised the device is owned. Unlike say a WIndows Phone, where even if you get root access you cant change any binaries and still load them...
"Not sure you know what you are talking about here" - Give the guy a break, he did say "presumably" thus indicating an openness to be clarified.
I have been using a Z10 since it came out. There have been a number of update of the OS. So-far I have had excellent results with the phone and like it a lot!
I am running a number of Android apps in the Z10. They have to be what they call, "side loaded". They work very well.
I am considering the Z30 to have a slightly larger screen. My question would be is if it is worth the extra cost for this.
You are right. I am using both the Z10 and the Z30 for my work.
The Blackberry phone is extremely secure. Android apps run in what we can call their own sand-box if you understand my description. All apps allowed to run on the Blackberry device must be approved and authorised by Blackberry.
I will not abandon using Blackberry phones. The enterprise I work for is using Blackberry phones for any type of business where security is important.
Just bubbles from the sinking ship....
Installed it...
...and I like it :-)
Now where's my money?
"Thank you so much Black berry team. I was waiting this app. It is really great user friendly and smooth."
A positive BB story!?! First one I cannot remember here for a while. Looking forward to those reviews.
BB's saviour?
Release a build that can be installed on say, Samsung Android phones and still let the user have full access to Android apps.
Ok, I know this is heresy but put yourself in BB's shoes. What can you do to make people love your system without them having to shell out for the phone.
Desperate times and all that?
Re: BB's saviour?
@ Steve Davies 3,
"Release a build that can be installed on say, Samsung Android phones and still let the user have full access to Android apps."
Er, you do know this is an article about the BlackBerry operating system, not about the recent BBM port to Android and iOS?
From what I understand of BB's architecture there's hardware features in BB's phones that support the operating system's security model. Without those hardware features the phone wouldn't be as secure. Porting BB10 to a Samsung might not be possible without ruining the security model.
BB have offered manufacturers BB10 under license, but so far there's been no takers. Understandable - Android is effectively 'free' and clearly good enough to attract a healthy market. BB10 wouldn't be free.
On the topic of money, I think it's astonishing how much money Google aren't making out of Android. They do all the work, but it seems that Samsung are the guys making all the money. Google clearly do make some money, but they're effectively missing out one many gigadollars that are being banked by Samsung.
Re: BB's saviour?
"On the topic of money, I think it's astonishing how much money Google aren't making out of Android. They do all the work, but it seems that Samsung are the guys making all the money. Google clearly do make some money, but they're effectively missing out one many gigadollars that are being banked by Samsung."
You forget that they don't need direct money from Android - they make money from all the location and advertising data they get from all copies of Android out there. That's the point and a good strategy - make the OS free to get manufacturers to use it and use the data you obtain to sell packaged data to others.
So no, they are not missing out on money.
Re: BB's saviour?
Well, do consider this. One of the big saling point of android phones is that a lot of the apps are free with add support. Those adds are google adds for pretty much all apps I have used so far. YMMV, but I can see google making cash there.
Re: BB's saviour?
No, Google don't need to make direct money from Android, not so long as their shareholders haven't figured out where it's all going.
Google made $10billion in 2012, not bad for an ad broker. However Samsung are making more like $30billion. A very big chunk of that $30billion is courtesy of Android, yet it isn't in Google's shareholders' pockets. Samsung galaxy wouldn't be doing anything like that much business without Android. How long before Google's shareholders start wanting a slice of that pie?
Re: BB's saviour?
From the many articles that I have been reading over the last year, it seems Google is making their tons of money by selling user demographic information. When using their operating system, their web pages, and their mail services they are collecting user information. This information is based on what they have viewed on their computer screen, the searches they made, and the purchases they made. They gather all of this through the usage of cookies, and when using their services.
The information they gather is demographic only. At the most they can know is the computer itself as a hardware device, but not more than that. They are not interesting in our names and the exact address where we live. When considering the billions of searches and views from the many hundreds of millions of users, it would not be practical by any means to know exactly every person individually.
If users were to absolutely object to allowing demographic information to be collected, we would end up having to pay for every decent web page we visit. The web page operators have to have the income from their web sites to be able to earn a living and pay their expenses. Otherwise there would be no good quality services on the net.
That's nice
They should put it in a technology museum so that it isn't entirely forgotten.
Blackberry... smooth. Are you one of those bots that's been commenting on the BBM app?
Wow! A FREE upgrade!
Lock-screen notifications, toast notifications and Priority Hub. "Carnac, what three things do you like best about 10.2 update?"
Sorry, but I don't get it.
BBM is just an instant messaging app. They're ten a penny, in fact they're about ten thousand a penny. You type a message and hit send. That's it. So what's the big deal about BBM?
Or have I missed something really obvious?
Re: Sorry, but I don't get it.
I'm afraid you have.
Re: Sorry, but I don't get it.
Secure messaging, hosted outside of the US (in a country that actually cares about civil rights no less)...
Clearing it up for ya?
After the latest revelations concerning Angela Merkel, I imagine BlackBerry may start to do better.
She's now toting a customized BlackBerry 10 phone. Perhaps security has something to do with her decision.
Even India boast about having BB encryption keys, you think the NSA don't?
RIM is not American. So not subject to THE PATRIOT Act
That may be important to some, not so important to others.
It depends how much you care about your privacy.
Re: RIM is not American. So not subject to THE PATRIOT Act
If the revelations are true (and I suspect they are), it almost seems a moot point.
I suspect those with enough resources can find a way.
Just drop the price of the Q10
And I'll buy one.
Laws against spying?
If the US can ignore its own laws and spy on its own people, as well as everyone in France, then I have little confidence that Canada will be an NSA-free zone, especially considering they're part of the 'five eyes' arrangement.
And why would I want to run Blackberry on a perfectly smooth and slick Android Jelly Bean??
for the same reason
as those who put CM Roms on to the Nexus 4, because you can and its nice to be different.....
Because Android is far from 'slick and smooth', it's laggy as hell.
There is no substitute for experience - try a dual core Android phone then try the dual core Z10. The web browsing is silky smooth (even the new Nexus 7 stutters when zooming in on a webpage - the Z10 doesn't!), try it for yourself.
The Z10 and Q10 are simply priced too high - thats the main problem.
> Because Android is far from 'slick and smooth', it's laggy as hell.
What phone? I've got a Nexus 4 and it's not laggy in the slightest, quite the opposite actually. Battery runtime is a bit sh1t3 though.
You can still get 64Gb playbooks for about £110~, fantastic bit of kit for such a cheap price. If you lose or break it more of a "oh well" than a disaster with an alternative tablet. The latest update is good and installing Andriod apps is fairly easy.
Expansys has the Z10 for £255 delivered, makes it a tempting alternative to an android phone except that the Nexus 5 at around the same price will stop me buying one. Sorry BB but you were just too slow getting this OS out the door, if it had come out 18 months ago you would most likely still be a strong number 3 and pushing at number 2 if you could get into developing markets.
Now however............
I have my Sony Xperia s running linux, much better to run ORIGINAL OS, than a copy of a OS in a higher language, I think ....
Cant wait for ubuntu for phones, mines a hack and still a bit rough to use ...
Re: Why?
What ?
What OS is a copy of what other OS ?
Linux is a unix clone not origional that has had open source developement and comes on many different forms.
QNX the basis of BB10 is an original OS developed for real time applications.
So your wron at the start, as for Ubuntu for phones what a waste, hardly any apps now or ever and all the restrictions of linux already ie no Netflix etc due to DRM.......
Re: Why?
yeah bad that, no netflicks, pity I never been there ... but having open office on my phone, with Bluetooth Keyboard&mouse, and a HDMI port on the sony, makes it a laptop in hiding as far as I can see ....
Re: Why?
"...hardly any apps now or ever and all the restrictions of linux already ie no Netflix etc due to DRM......"
That is a restriction of GNU/Linux? Hmm, must be similar to your restriction to learn anything about GNU/Linux. BTW, how do you find the time to post here without a start button? Wait, you upgraded.
Re: Why?
> Linux is a unix clone not origional ...
> QNX the basis of BB10 is an original OS developed for real time applications.
QNX was originally, and still is, a Unix clone.
It is Posix compliant and, on desktops and servers, ran X-windows and much BSD and Unix software.
Re: Why?
"It is Posix compliant and, on desktops and servers, ran X-windows and much BSD and Unix software."
So? None of that necessarily makes QNX a UNIX clone. E.g. the same compatibility list also applies to VMS (or did when VMS Posix was available), and VMS certainly isn't a UNIX clone.
Re: Why?
> So? None of that necessarily makes QNX a UNIX clone.
The same can be said of Linux. It can't directly run Unix binaries either.
QNX runs on a Unix like filesystem which is inode based, which VMS does not. VMS's Posix is a conversion layer on top of the OS. In QNX it is native, because QNX is a Unix clone.
3 also...
Not just Vodafone and EE, BB 10.2 out for phones on 3 5 too...
Mine's a galaxy ace. still runs fines for pretty much everything I do with it.
Just have to remember to reboot it every now and again.
Now if only the vulture app would load properly and not say I don't have network when I clearly do, that would be a real upgrade.
My employer only does Jesus-phones and Blackberries, depending on network availability. Where I live, the carrier doesn't have Jesus-phones or the 10 Blackberries, so I carry a Curve. There aren't a whole lot of people here still carrying them, so not worth the effort to update the BES. That being said,the 2 year old Torch I carried got lost last week, so I was issued a new Curve. It works fine for me, and I like the fact of how small it is. Smaller than a Jesus-phone, and smaller than the old Torch. 7.1 OS seems ok to me, but all I do is phone, mail, and endomondo.

Three arrested in fight outside Manchester bar
MANCHESTER - A man trying to break up a fight between two women near a downtown bar ended up with a swollen and bruised back after he was hit with a hammer from behind.
The fight happened about 1:50 a.m. outside W.R. Taverna, 201 Merrimack St. According to police, several people were fighting in a lot at 456 Union St. but most stopped when they saw police. Two women, however, continued fighting and only stopped after they were pepper-sprayed, police said.
Police arrested Vanessa Negron, 33, of 662 Harvard St., and Marian Reyes, 23, of 283 Bridge St., and charged them with disorderly conduct.
Jose Perez, 28, of 662 Harvard St. - the same address as Negron - had tried to separate the two woman and was hit in the back by a man wielding a drywall hammer.
Witnesses identified the assailant as Miguel Torres, 23, of 283 Bridge St. - the same address as Reyes. He was arrested and charged with second-degree assault.
Police recovered the hammer from underneath a parked vehicle where witnesses said Torres hid it.

Three decades ago this week, when the Supreme Court made abortion a right instead of a cause of death, women still couldn't get credit cards in their own names, never mind call themselves "Ms.," and the old salts at McSorley's were just getting used to sharing bar stools with the womenfolk. There were no female senators, one commercial airline pilot, and two FBI agents. Sarah Weddington, the young attorney who argued Roe v. Wade, learned of her January 22, 1973, victory from a reporter. She was notified officially by telegramcollect. We've come a long way, sort of . . .

2014 South Bay JACL Scholarship Award Dinner at the Toyota Automobile Museum
The 2014 South Bay JACL Scholarship Awards Dinner was held on Tuesday, May 20, 2014 at the Toyota Automobile Museum in Torrance, California. Four students were awarded the Kiichi Egashira Memorial Scholarships, one student was awarded the Janice Kobata Zoeger Memorial Scholarships and two students were awarded the Gardena Valley JACL Scholarship.
The Keynote Speaker for the evening was Nancy Oda, Past-President of the San Fernando Valley Japanese American Community Center. Mrs. Oda talked about the Historic Tuna Canyon Detention Station Coalition efforts and how she was the catalyst to get the Los Angeles City Council to approve Tuna Canyon Detention Station as the Historic-Cultural Monument #1039. Tuna Canyon became an enemy alien detention station on December 16, 1941, just days after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. It became a detention station by installing barbed wired fences and watch towers to the Civilian Conservation Corp Camp in the San Fernando Valley, built during the Depression in 1933.
The Tuna Canyon Detention Station was a prison camp that held Issei men from Southern California detained by the FBI shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor. The camp also held local German and Italian internees and Japanese Peruvians. Internees were held there before being transferred to permanent detention camps in other parts of the country. The capacity of the camp was approximately 300. The site—a former CCC camp that later became part of the Verdugo Hills golf course—is currently slated for residential development.
Tuna Canyon Detention Station received its first enemy aliens who had been taken into custody by the FBI on December 16, 1941, and thereafter operated as a clearing-house for the male Japanese enemy aliens arrested in Southern California. From that date until May 25, 1942, 1,490 Japanese males passed through the camp and were transferred to other camps in Fort Missoula, Montana, Fort Lincoln, North Dakota, and Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Private Jacuzzi bath in Eleuthera's mystical tidal pool
Not too many things of interest stand out from the road side when you drive through Rainbow Bay, Eleuthera, Bahamas. There is a Bahamas Heritage Site on the Eastern coast, but you would never guess how incredible the site is judging by the inconspicuous heritage sign that is worn down at the roadside.
Do not be deceived, this heritage site is a remarkable place. If you are driving north and you pass the Rainbow Bay Inn, which you are sure to notice, you have missed your mark. Turn around and look carefully for the round, blue heritage sign indicating the turn off for Rainbow Cliffs.
Rainbow Cliffs is one of Eleuthera's geological wonders. The cliffs tower at least 30 to 40 feet above the water. The limestone walls have been cut by the sea, creating a network of trenches, caves and coves, all around. The limestone exposes stratas of black and red stone, as well as embedded pockets of sand.
Closer to sea level, nestled into the rock was a shallow tidal pool, a private bath from someone's fantasy spa. It was a relatively cold time of year for me, but the pool was too inviting not to be bathed in its cool waters.
When I arrived at the cliffs the tidal pool was not in sight. The only thing visible at first was the broadside of a massive limestone hill; it sloped at such a gradient that the coastline was not visible. At the peak was a ridge stretching in view from the north to the south. The limestone was carved with an interesting formation: parallel wave-like tracks that snaked across the hill.
The rock formations stimulated some interest, but my instinct told me there was more to see. I headed for the top of the ridge and what lay beyond was a view of the rocky coastline with towering cliffs above. The site was definitely something to behold, but still something called me to push further. There was a secondary ridge that obstructed the complete view of the cove below.
Several large boulders provided foot holds from me to climb down to the lower level. From beyond the ledge, I peered down into a sizable cove and the enchanting tidal pool stared back at me. I was so invigorated I had to find a way down the cliff; a task that required strength, agility and no fear. There were no boulders this time to provide a stairway down. The vertical walls had to be scaled somehow.
The challenge was well worth the reward.
Rainbow Cliffs is one of a few sites in Eleuthera for adrenaline junkies looking to go cliff jumping. Next time I am Eleuthera, you will find me doing this!

Sri Lanka stumble to whitewash
26 Jul 2007
Zac Ritchie
Bangladesh had only themselves to blame as poor fielding squandered any chance they had of winning the 3rd ODI against Sri Lanka. Five dropped catches and three run outs were missed by the usually sharp fielding outfit as Sri Lanka recovered well from being 61/4 and eventually reached a fair total of 196.
Overnight rain had reduced the contest to 40 overs a side and Bangladesh captain Mohammad Ashraful won the toss and elected for Sri Lanka to bat on a slow looking pitch. His decision paid dividends as brilliant bowling left Sri Lanka reeling, Syed Rasel leading the charge, as both openers were back in the hut with cheap scores, with Jayasuriya being reprieved without scoring. Chamara Kapugedara was then handed two lives, on 0 and 5, but fortunately for Bangladesh he did not profit a great amount, eventually falling for 7.
Jehan Mubarak and Tillekeratne Dilshan were then left to glue together the Sri Lankan innings and they came together in a match winning stand of 78 that took the game away from Bangladesh. Both were given left-offs early in their innings and benefited greatly from the inept fielding as they pushed singles against the spinners and put away the bad balls. Mubarak went on to score a career high 72 while Dilshan fell on 39. Syed Rasel was accurate and was rewarded with figures of 1/18 while Abdur Razzaq picked up 3/47.
The Bangladesh innings was under pressure from the start as Javed Omar only lasted four balls before edging Maharoof to slip while Mushfiqur Rahim, promoted to #3, also didn?t trouble the scorers. The first 11 runs all came from wides and it was only wayward bowling from Fernando and Maharoof that kept Bangladesh in the hunt early on. Ashraful and Tamim Iqbal combined in a 42 run partnership before the captain was unlucky to be given out LBW to Kulasekara as the ball appeared to be missing leg stump.
The Sri Lankan bowlers made good use of the short ball and accounted for Saqibul Hasan and Aftab Ahmed in short time before debutant Mahmudullah showed some courage with the bat and started to restore hopes for Bangladesh supporters as him and Tamim added 60 runs before Tamim tried to slog Jayasuriya out of the park, eventually falling for a well made 54. It didn't take long to wrap up the tail as Jayasuriya picked up the next three wickets with his darty left-armers and eventually Bangladesh fell short to what could have been a chaseable total, had their fielding been of a higher standard.
Sri Lanka 196
Jehan Mubarak 72, Tillekeratne Dilshan 39
Abdur Razzaq 3/47, Mahmudullah 2/28
Bangladesh 157
Tamim Iqbal 54, Mahmudullah 36
Sanath Jayasuriya 4/14, Nuwan Kulasekara 2/17
Sri Lanka won by 39 runs

I jogged 55 minutes on the elliptical and went 3.27 miles. I tried not to look at the clock today. I only looked down at the display in between songs. I think it did make the time go by faster, but I didn't go as fast. I got my workout done EARLY this morning between 6:30 and 7:30 because I needed to leave at 8:30 to take my 9-year-old to orchestra. Busy, busy....I miss sleeping in on Saturdays!
I'm not sure if I can jog next week. I seem to be having injuries. One of my big toemails is purple and the other one hurts really bad and I am afraid it is going to end up the same way. And now I have a quarter-sized blister on the pad of my right heel and can hardly stand to put ANY weight on it at all. I don't want to keep jogging if that is going to make all these injuries worse. My heel pain is so bad I can hardly hobble around. Sigh. Has anyone else had this type of heel pain before? Do you think I need new shoes? We don't really have the money right now, but I hate to have to give up my exercise indefinitely. I hate injuries. You think you are just sailing along having a great time and then you have to watch it all fall apart. I am finally to the 60 minutes six days a week as of Monday, which was my ultimate goal.
Well, I hope you all have a great Saturday evening. I think I am going to put my feet up and watch a movie while I crochet. Have a blessed Sunday.
I jogged 55 minutes on the elliptical today. I changed up my routine. I jogged hard for 30 minutes and then did the last 25 minutes in intervals. I would go at a medium pace for 3/4 of a lap and then push hard for the last 1/4 of the lap every time I went around. I was SO WORN OUT by the time I got done. It just felt completely different than it usually does. I still averaged 3.5 mph overall and went 3.27 miles today. I wasn't worried about my distance though. I just wanted to try the intervals and see how it went. Phew, that is a HARD workout!
Today my girls are starting their dance class again. They are cloggers which is a really fun dance style kind of a mix of tap and irish dancing. It LOOKS fun, but I am not nearly coordinated enough to do it. My 12-year-old is in the advanced class and she is really fun to watch. Have a great Friday evening SparkFriends!
I jogged 55 minutes on the elliptical and went 3.37 miles! Another personal best! I am just so proud of myself. My workout went GREAT today. I was able to push HARD (3.7 mph) for the entire first half of my workout and then averaged greater than 3.6 mph for the second half. Phew. I didn't know I could do that!
Well, today my 4-year-old is having her first cello lesson. I hope it goes well. Her teacher said that she would just take it a lesson at a time for a while to see if Annalise is mature enough for music lessons. I think she will do great if she likes her teacher. Then we are off in a completely different direction for my 12-year-old's piano lesson. Busy afternoon! Have a wonderful day SparkFriends!
I jogged 55 minutes on the elliptical and went 3.33 miles! That is another personal best. Woohoo! I had a good workout today. Also, I lost 2 pounds this week! Yay!
I have determined that what I really like about the elliptical is the fact that it is no impact. I was talking to a MUCH SMALLER friend of mine who runs outside around her neighborhood and she said that the constant bouncing of her hips and impact on her knees bothered her a lot . I'm glad I don't have any of those problems on the elliptical since it is a very fluid movement. I might no be burning as many calories as I would really running, but at this weight I think I need the no impact workout. Once I lose the weight I would like to get more comfortable running outside and sign up for some 5k races. But for now the elliptical is just fine!
Wednesdays are now my favorite day of the week because they are my "home day." It is the only day we don't have some place to be this semester. Thank goodness! I need one day a week to just stay home and get stuff done. Have a great evening SparkFriends!
I jogged 55 minutes on the elliptical and went 3.32 miles, which is even faster than yesterday. I had a good workout. I was happy to get it done before noon. Yay! Now we are off to a violin lesson and a voice lesson. Ugh. Our busy school year started today! Have a great afternoon SparkFriends!

That's just 12 units shy of being a first-place record and it surpasses April's 1,937 units sold […]+ Read More
Although Nissan's all-electric Leaf has been on the market for two-and-a-half years, and returns updated for 2013, many Americans remain unaware of its existence, and others do not have a firm grasp of its pros and cons. Obviously, many do know about the electric vehicle (EV) and this year Nissan set sales records in March, […]+ Read More
Nissan's U.S.-built all-electric Nissan Leaf had been tested for efficiency a few months ago, and the numbers have now been released – with a curve ball in the form of new EPA test methodology. The 2013 Leaf is officially rated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) at 115 miles per gallon equivalent (MPGe) combined, […]+ Read More
Assembled this year now in Smyrna, Tenn., with batteries assembled and transported from a nearby state-of-the-art plant, Nissan's third year for its all-electric Leaf sees the car better positioned than ever. The Leaf has been the poster child for the company's bullish-on-EVs CEO, Carlos Ghosn, who adamantly predicts by the year 2020 one in 10 […]+ Read More

Why not combine shopping with tourism? A little research later & I was sure of it, my ideal shopping trip to London would involve visiting as many historic shops as I could.
I hope you enjoy this itinerary filled with amazing curiosities in stores that are much older than you and I are.
A Historic Shop Crawl in London Itinerary**To make it onto this list all stores had to be at least 100 years old
View Historic London Shopping Crawl in a larger map
87-135 Brompton Rd
Knightsbridge, London SW1X 0NA, United Kingdom
We'll start off with probably the most famous of all department stores – Harrods. This historic department store is visited by over 15 million customers every year. With seven floors and more than a million square feet of floor space, you might want to give yourself a full day to shop here – after all, this is Europe's largest department store. The original store was opened in 1849 by Charles Henry Harrod. The original building was destroyed in a fire in 1883, but it was rebuilt in 1898 with the inclusion of Britain's first moving staircase.
194 Shaftesbury Avenue
High Holburn, London WC2H 8JP, United Kingdom
020 7836 9034
Looking for buoys, boat hooks or ropes? Arthur Beale is the place for you. Miles from sea, this yachting shop has been meeting sailor's needs for over 100 years. Not a boatsman? Don't let that deter you, a little window shopping never hurt anyone, neither does a little seafaring.
London SW1A 1HB, United Kingdom
020 7930 3915
D.R. Harris is a pharmacy that has been welcoming customers for over 200 years. Today you can shop for soaps, colognes, shaving products and aromatherapy oils in a beautiful nostalgic setting that brings history to life. Most products here are still made using traditional methods, hand-made and packed on their own premises. That alone is worth the trip.
216 Strand
London WC2R 1AP, United Kingdom
020 7353 3511
For the true history buff, Twinings Tea Shop is a gem. It is the oldest company in London that has done business continuously at the same site by the same family who started it. Thomas Twining began his business in 1706. Prior to that, it had been a coffee house called Tom's. The shop is small, but don't let that fool you, it has an amazing selection of teas.
187 Piccadilly
London, Greater London W1J 9LE, United Kingdom
020 7439 9921
If you know me at all, you know that I would not be able to end this itinerary without including a bookstore. I love bookstores and I love old bookstores even more. Hatchard's Booksellers is the oldes bookstore in London. Just imagine all the visitors who have walked through it's doors and all the books they read. Oscar Wilde and Lord Byron were known customers. It is just what a bookstore should be, 6 floors of small rooms filled with over 100,000 titles. Harrods might warrent a day, but I think Hatchard's deserves a week of your time.
105A Great Russell Street
London, Greater London WC1B, United Kingdom
020 7636 1045
Ever wanted to feel like an artist in Victorian England? Visit L. Cornelissens and you'll do just that plus find fantastic art materials to boot. This art store has been in business since 1855 and sells a wide range of painting and drawing materials. I'm particularly smitten with their jars of powdered paint.
Hazelwood House
53 New Oxford Street, London, Greater London WC1A 1BL, United Kingdom
020 7836 4731
One word – umbrellas. Who hasn't walked down the street muttering under their breath about the state of their $5 cheapie umbrella? Time for an upgrade? This is your place. James Smith & Sons was funded in 1830 and is still a family business today. The shop itself is an amazing example of Victorian craftmanship. It has remained virtually unaltered in 140 years.
3 Saint James's Street
London SW1A 1EG, United Kingdom
0800 280 2440
Established in 1698 Berry Bros & Rudd is London's oldest wine merchant. It was opened by the widow Bourne at it's current location on St. Jame's Street that year. Today, a large selection of wine and spirits fill the shop. The cozy back parlor and high paneled walls make it the perfect setting for wine shopping. Reminders of history are abundent including old wine making equipment.
16 Horner Square
Spitalfields, London E1 6EW, United Kingdom
020 7375 2963
Old Spitalfields Market Hall was built in 1876, just think of all the shopping that has taken place here. The market was renovated recently and manages to retain some of it's historical charm while offering a modern shopping experience. Interestingly enough, this area served as a Roman cemetery in 300 AD. The market has survived two wars and has gone on to become one of the most popular markets in London. Well worth a visit.
135 Muswell Hill Broadway
Muswell Hill, London N10 3RS, United Kingdom
020 8883 5642
W. Martyn is a quaint old shop that specializes in tea and coffee. If you take a look at the picture on their website you can see that not a lot has changed since the 1930′s. To me that is a very good thing. Looking through their amazing selection of teas, coffees, jams, pickles and other delicacies is a great way to spend the afternoon.
Oh, and while you are at it, a few more if London's oldest to visit:
London's oldest tree
London's oldest barber shop
London's oldest pubs
London's oldest restaurant
London's oldest street sign
