Eliezer "Elie" Wiesel KBE ( /ˈɛli vɨˈzɛl/; Hungarian: Wiesel Lázár; born September 30, 1928)[1] is a Romanian-born Jewish-American[1] writer, professor, political activist, Nobel Laureate, and Holocaust survivor. He is the author of 57 books, including Night, a work based on his experiences as a prisoner in the Auschwitz, Buna, and Buchenwald concentration camps.[2] Wiesel is also the Advisory Board chairman of the Algemeiner Journal newspaper.
When Wiesel was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986, the Norwegian Nobel Committee called him a "messenger to mankind," stating that through his struggle to come to terms with "his own personal experience of total humiliation and of the utter contempt for humanity shown in Hitler's death camps", as well as his "practical work in the cause of peace", Wiesel had delivered a powerful message "of peace, atonement and human dignity" to humanity.[3]
Wiesel was born in Sighet,[4] Transylvania (now Sighetu Marmaţiei), Maramureş, Kingdom of Romania,[4] in the Carpathian Mountains. His mother, Sarah Feig, was the daughter of Dodye Feig, a celebrated Vizhnitz Hasid and farmer from a nearby village. He was active and trusted within the community, and in the early years of his life had spent a few months in jail for having helped Polish Jews who escaped and were hungry. It was his father, Chlomo, who instilled a strong sense of humanism in his son, encouraging him to learn Hebrew and to read literature, whereas his mother encouraged him to study the Torah. Wiesel has said his father represented reason, and his mother Sarah promoted faith.[5] In his home, his family spoke Yiddish most of the time, but also Romanian, Hungarian and German.[6][7] Wiesel had three sisters – older sisters Hilda and Beatrice, and younger sister Tzipora. Beatrice and Hilda survived the war and were reunited with Wiesel at a French orphanage. They eventually emigrated to North America, with Beatrice moving to Montreal, Canada. Tzipora, Chlomo and Sarah did not survive the Holocaust.
In 1940, Romania lost the town of Sighet following the Second Vienna Award. In 1944, Wiesel, his family and the rest of the town were placed in one of the two ghettos in Sighet. Wiesel and his family lived in the larger of the two, on Serpent Street. On May 16, 1944, the Hungarian authorities allowed the German army to deport the Jewish community in Sighet to Auschwitz-Birkenau. While at Auschwitz, his inmate number, "A-7713", was tattooed onto his left arm.[8][9] Wiesel was separated from his mother and sisters Hilda, Beatrice, and Tzipora. Wiesel's mother and sister Tzipora were presumably killed in the gas chambers upon arrival. Wiesel and his father were sent to the attached work camp Buna, a subcamp of Auschwitz III-Monowitz. He managed to remain with his father for over eight months as they were forced to work under appalling conditions and shuffled between three concentration camps in the closing days of the war. On January 29, 1945, just a few weeks after the two were marched to Buchenwald, Wiesel's father was beaten[10] by a Nazi as he was suffering from dysentery, starvation, and exhaustion. He was also beaten by other inmates for his food. He was later sent to the crematorium, only weeks before the camp was liberated by the U. S. Third Army on April 11.[11]
After World War II, Wiesel taught Hebrew and worked as a choirmaster before becoming a professional journalist. He learned French, which became the language he used most frequently in writing.[12] He wrote for Israeli and French newspapers, including Tsien in Kamf (in Yiddish) L'arche. For ten years after the war, Wiesel refused to write about or discuss his experiences during the Holocaust. Like many survivors, Wiesel could not find the words to describe his experiences. However, a meeting with François Mauriac, the 1952 Nobel Laureate in Literature, who eventually became Wiesel's close friend, persuaded him to write about his experiences.
Wiesel first wrote the 900-page memoir Un di velt hot geshvign (And the World Remained Silent) in Yiddish, which was published in abridged form in Buenos Aires.[13] Wiesel rewrote a shortened version of the manuscript in French, and it was published as the 127-page La Nuit, and later translated into English as Night. Even with Mauriac's support, Wiesel had trouble finding a publisher for his book, and initially it sold few copies.
In 1960, Arthur Wang of Hill & Wang agreed to pay a $100 pro-forma advance, and published it in the US in September that year as Night. The book agent was Georges Borchardt, then just starting his career. Borchardt remains Wiesel's literary agent today.
The book sold just 1,046 copies over the next 18 months, but attracted interest from reviewers, leading to television interviews with Wiesel and meetings with literary figures like Saul Bellow. "The English translation came out in 1960, and the first printing was 3,000 copies," Wiesel said in an interview. "And it took three years to sell them. Now, I get 100 letters a month from children about the book. And there are many, many million copies in print." The 1979 book and play The Trial of God is said to have been based on Wiesel's real-life Auschwitz experience of witnessing three Jews who, close to death, conduct a trial against God, under the accusation that He has been oppressive of the Jewish people.
Night has been translated into 30 languages. By 1997, the book was selling 300,000 copies annually in the United States alone. By March 2006, about six million copies were sold in the United States. On January 16, 2006, Oprah Winfrey chose the work for her book club. One million extra paperback and 150,000 hardcover copies were printed carrying the "Oprah's Book Club" logo, with a new translation by Wiesel's wife, Marion, and a new preface by Wiesel. On February 13, 2006, Night was no. 1 on The New York Times bestseller list for paperback non-fiction.
In 1955, Wiesel moved to New York City, having become a US citizen: due to injuries suffered in a traffic accident, he was forced to stay in New York past his visa's expiration and was offered citizenship to resolve his status. In the US, Wiesel wrote over 40 books, both fiction and non-fiction, and won many literary prizes. Wiesel's writing is considered among the most important in Holocaust literature. Some historians credit Wiesel with giving the term 'Holocaust' its present meaning, but he does not feel that the word adequately describes the event and wishes it were used less frequently to describe significant occurrences as everyday tragedies.[14]
He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986 for speaking out against violence, repression, and racism. He has received many other prizes and honors for his work, including the Congressional Gold Medal in 1985, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 1996.
Wiesel also played a role in the initial success of The Painted Bird by Jerzy Kosinski by endorsing it prior to revelations that the book was fiction and, in the sense that it was presented as all Kosinski's true experience, a hoax.
He is also the recipient of The International Center in New York's Award of Excellence. Wiesel has published two volumes of his memoirs. The first, All Rivers Run to the Sea, was published in 1994 and covered his life up to the year 1969 while the second, titled And the Sea is Never Full and published in 1999, covered 1969 to 1999.
Wiesel and his wife, Marion, started the Elie Wiesel Foundation for Humanity. He served as chairman for the Presidential Commission on the Holocaust (later renamed US Holocaust Memorial Council) from 1978 to 1986, spearheading the building of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C..
Wiesel is particularly fond of teaching and holds the position of Andrew Mellon Professor of the Humanities at Boston University. From 1972 to 1976, Wiesel was a Distinguished Professor at the City University of New York and member of the American Federation of Teachers. In 1982 he served as the first Henry Luce Visiting Scholar in Humanities and Social Thought at Yale University. He also co-instructs Winter Term (January) courses at Eckerd College, St. Petersburg, Florida. From 1997 to 1999 he was Ingeborg Rennert Visiting Professor of Judaic Studies at Barnard College.
Wiesel has become a popular speaker on the subject of the Holocaust. As a political activist, he has advocated for many causes, including Israel, the plight of Soviet and Ethiopian Jews, the victims of apartheid in South Africa, Argentina's Desaparecidos, Bosnian victims of genocide in the former Yugoslavia, Nicaragua's Miskito Indians, and the Kurds. Conversely, he withdrew from his role as chair of the International Conference on the Holocaust and Genocide, and made efforts to abort the conference, in deference to Israeli objection to the inclusion of sessions on the Armenian genocide.[15][16]
In 2004 he voiced support for intervention in Darfur, Sudan at the Darfur Emergency Summit convened at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York by the American Jewish World Service and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.[17] He also led a commission organized by the Romanian government to research and write a report, released in 2004, on the true history of the Holocaust in Romania and the involvement of the Romanian wartime regime in atrocities against Jews and other groups, including the Roma. The Romanian government accepted the findings in the report and committed to implementing the commission's recommendations for educating the public on the history of the Holocaust in Romania. The commission, formally called the International Commission for the Study of the Holocaust in Romania, came to be called the Wiesel Commission in honor of his leadership.
Wiesel is the honorary chair of the Habonim Dror Camp Miriam Campership and Building Fund, and a member of the International Council of the New York–based Human Rights Foundation. On March 27, 2001, Wiesel appeared at the University of Florida for Jewish Awareness Month and was presented with an honorary doctor of humane letters degree from the University of Florida by Dr. Charles Young.[18][dead link]
In 2002, he inaugurated the Elie Wiesel Memorial House in Sighet in his childhood home.[19]
In early 2006, Wiesel traveled to Auschwitz with Oprah Winfrey, a visit which was broadcast as part of The Oprah Winfrey Show on May 24, 2006.[20] Wiesel said that this would most likely be his last trip there. In September 2006, he appeared before the UN Security Council with actor George Clooney to call attention to the humanitarian crisis in Darfur. On November 30, 2006 Wiesel received an honorary knighthood in London in recognition of his work toward raising Holocaust education in the United Kingdom.[21]
During the early 2007 selection process for the Kadima candidate for President of Israel, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert reportedly offered Wiesel the nomination (and, as the ruling-party candidate and an apolitical figure, likely the presidency), but Wiesel "was not very interested."[22] Shimon Peres was chosen as the Kadima candidate (and later President) instead. In 2007, Wiesel was awarded the Dayton Literary Peace Prize's Lifetime Achievement Award.[23]
In 2007 the Elie Wiesel Foundation for Humanity issued a letter condemning Armenian genocide denial that was signed by 53 Nobel laureates including Wiesel. Wiesel has repeatedly called Turkey's 90-year-old campaign to downplay its actions during the Armenian genocide a double killing.[24]
Wiesel is a member of the International Advisory Board of NGO Monitor.[25]
In December 2008, Wiesel and his wife lost their life savings, and the Elie Wiesel Foundation for Humanity lost nearly all of its assets (approximately $15.2 million USD) through Bernard Madoff's Ponzi scheme,[26] an experience Wiesel later spoke about at a Conde Nast roundtable. In a New York Times article, Wiesel called Madoff "a psychopath." [27]
In 2009, Wiesel criticized the Vatican for lifting the excommunication of controversial bishop Richard Williamson, a member of the Society of Saint Pius X.[28]
On June 5, 2009, Wiesel accompanied US President Barack Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel as they toured Buchenwald. Merkel and Wiesel each spoke about Buchenwald in personal terms, with Merkel considering the responsibility of Germans vis-à-vis Nazi history, and Wiesel reflecting on the suffering and death of his father in the camp.[29]
Wiesel returned to Hungary for the first official visit since the Holocaust between December 9–11, 2009 by the invitation of Rabbi Slomó Köves, executive rabbi of the Unified Hungarian Jewish Congregation and the Hungarian branch of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement. During his visit Wiesel participated in a conference at the Upper House Chamber of the Hungarian Parliament, met Prime Minister Gordon Bajnai and President László Sólyom, and made a speech to the approximately 10,000 participants of an anti-racist gathering held in Faith Hall. The speech was broadcast live by Magyar ATV, a nationwide television channel.[30][31][32]
In November 2011 Wiesel accepted an appointment to the Board of Visitors of Ralston College, a start-up liberal arts college based in Savannah, Georgia.[33]
On February 1, 2007, Wiesel was attacked in a San Francisco hotel by 22-year-old Holocaust denier Eric Hunt, who tried to drag Wiesel into a hotel room. Wiesel was not injured and Hunt fled the scene. Later, Hunt bragged about the incident on a Holocaust denial website.[34] Approximately one month later, he was arrested and charged with multiple offenses.[35] Hunt was convicted on July 21, 2008,[36] and was sentenced to two years, but was given credit for time served and good behavior; he was released on probation and ordered to undergo psychological treatment. The jury convicted Hunt of three charges but dismissed the remaining charges of attempted kidnapping, stalking, and an additional count of false imprisonment, amid Hunt's withdrawal of his insanity plea.[37][dead link] District Attorney Kamala Harris said, "Crimes motivated by hate are among the most reprehensible of offenses ... This defendant has been made to answer for an unwarranted and biased attack on a man who has dedicated his life to peace."[38] At his sentencing hearing, Hunt apologized and insisted that he no longer denies the Holocaust;[39] however, he continued for some time afterwards to maintain and update a (now defunct) blog that denied the Holocaust and was critical of prominent Jewish people.[40]
On February 13, 2012, the Salt Lake City Tribune announced that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints performed a posthumous baptism of Simon Wiesenthal's parents.[41] The following day, the Huffington Post announced that Wiesel's name had been submitted by a Latter-day Saint to a genealogical database used for proposing proxy baptisms. The Huffington Post also notified Wiesel, prompting him to speak out against the practice of posthumously baptizing Jews and to call on United States presidential candidate and Latter-day Saint Mitt Romney to denounce it.[42][43][44] In an interview on February 15, 2012 with Lawrence O'Donnell, Wiesel called the practice "bizarre", and said, "I am a Jew. Born a Jew. Lived as a Jew. Tried to write about the Jewish condition...the human condition all over the world, and they should do it to me?" He reported that he had worked for two years with Bobby Adams and Holocaust survivor Ernest Michel to achieve an agreement with the LDS church regarding the practice of baptizing Holocaust dead, and that LDS church apostle Quentin Cook apologized to him by telephone earlier that day for the database submission of his family's names, and reported blocking the name of former Prime Minister of Israel Golda Meir from proxy baptism.[45]
On April 18, 2010 in The New York Times and on 16 April for three other newspapers, Wiesel wrote a full-paged advertisement in which he emphasized the Jewish connection to Jerusalem and criticized the Obama administration for pressuring Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to halt East Jerusalem Jewish settlement construction.[46][47] He said that: "For me, the Jew that I am, Jerusalem is above politics. It is mentioned more than six hundred times in Scripture — and not a single time in the Koran."[48]
Extended quotation from the text:
"For me, the Jew that I am, Jerusalem is above politics. It belongs to the Jewish people and is much more than a city; it is what binds one Jew to another in a way that remains hard to explain. When a Jew visits Jerusalem for the first time, it is not the first time; it is a homecoming. The first song I heard was my mother's lullaby about and for Jerusalem. Its sadness and its joy are part of our collective memory."
Three weeks later, on May 4, 2010, Wiesel met with President Obama at the White House to discuss Middle East peace relations. Afterwards, Wiesel said, "The president is convinced that the peace process must continue. And we all agree of course. There is no substitute to peace among nations. Each side must understand that there is no absolute justice in the world, nor absolute peace in the world. One side must understand the other's need for assurance for respect."[49]
Wiesel's position on Jerusalem has been criticized by the Americans for Peace Now in an open letter: "Jerusalem is not just a Jewish symbol. It is also a holy city to billions of Christians and Muslims worldwide. It is Israel's capital, but it is also a focal point of Palestinian national aspirations." They also claimed that equal residential rights do not exist in the city.[50] Wiesel has also been criticized in Israel. Haaretz published an article by Yossi Sarid which accused him of being out of touch with the realities of life in Jerusalem.[51]
Wiesel was notably criticized by former DePaul University professor and political scientist Norman Finkelstein in his book The Holocaust Industry. Finkelstein accuses Wiesel of promoting the "uniqueness doctrine" which holds, according to Finkelstein, the Holocaust as the paramount of evil and therefore historically incomparable to other genocides.[52] Finklestein also accuses Wiesel of playing down the importance of other genocides, especially the Armenian Genocide, and thwarting efforts of raising awareness of the genocide of the Romani people executed by the Nazis. Finkelstein cited Wiesel's lobbying for commemorating Jews alone (not the Romani people) in the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington D.C., in addition to his numerous other assertions on the "uniqueness of Holocaust."[53]

Red Wings beat Predators, 5-2, move closer to playoff berth
Updated On: Apr 25 2013 11:14:19 PM EDT
The Detroit Red Wings beat the Nashville Predators 5-2 Thursday night at Joe Louis Arena, taking another step in the right direction as they try to secure a 22nd-consecutive playoff berth.
If the Columbus Blue Jackets had gotten anything less than a win against the Dallas Starts Thursday night, the Red Wings would have clinched a playoff spot. The Jackets won 3-1.
Detroit's 54 points put them in 7th place, one point ahead of the Minnesota Wild and three points ahead of the Blue Jackets, who closed the gap back to one point with their own win.
The Jackets have another game left to play in the regular season, as do the Red Wings.
Johan Franzen had a goal and an assist Thursday night, and Valtteri Filppula, Patrick Eaves and Justin Abdelkader also scored for Detroit. Jimmy Howard stopped 20 shots.
Mike Fisher and Craig Smith each had a goal and an assist for Nashville, which got 33 saves from Chris Mason.

The judge in Oscar Pistorius' murder trial has banned all live broadcast of autopsy evidence given by a forensic medicine expert.
Pathologist Gert Saayman said that broadcasting his report could compromise the "dignity of the deceased".
The Paralympic athlete denies intentionally killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.
He vomited in court as he heard the autopsy report.
Saayman used the following arguments to persuade Judge Thokozile Masipa to ban broadcasts of his autopsy report:
"Very personal nature of the findings"
"Graphic details of the injuries have the potential to compromise the dignity of the deceased"
It may "harm the rights" of friends and family of the deceased
"Goes against the morals of society"
The judge also banned coverage of the details of the autopsy report through Twitter.
Large parts of the trial have been televised – a first for South Africa – but there are some media restrictions in place.
For example, there is a ban on showing the faces of witnesses giving evidence, as well as on close-up shots of people in the courtroom.
Earlier, a security guard at the compound where Pistorius lived defended his own account of phone calls made in the minutes after the shooting of Steenkamp.
Pieter Baba said he had phoned Pistorius and not the other way round, as the defence team had suggested.
Pistorius says he mistook the 29-year-old model and aspiring lawyer for an intruder.
If found guilty, the 27-year-old, a national sporting hero dubbed the "blade runner", could face life imprisonment.
On Friday Baba, a security guard working at Pistorius' gated community, spoke of his shock at seeing Pistorius carrying a dying Ms Steenkamp down the stairs at the athlete's villa.
Baba said he had called Pistorius in response to neighbours' reports of gunfire from the house in the early hours of the morning.
The guard said Pistorius had told him: "Everything is fine," before calling him back a few minutes later and crying down the phone.
On Monday, Pistorius' defence lawyer suggested the athlete had called Baba first and not the other way round, but the witness stuck to his testimony.
Pistorius' lawyer, Barry Roux, then suggested his client had said: "I am fine," and not: "Everything is fine," but again the witness said this was not true.
"My Lady, what I just told the court is the truth," Baba told the judge.
During an emotional testimony on Friday, his former girlfriend, Samantha Taylor, described how Pistorius fired his gun from his car. The athlete denies doing so.
Pistorius has appeared distraught as the events of February 14, 2013 have been recounted in the court in Pretoria.
The state is seeking to convince the court that Pistorius and Steenkamp, a model, reality TV star and law graduate, had an argument before the athlete fired the shots that killed his girlfriend.
There are no juries at trials in South Africa, and his fate will ultimately be decided by the judge.

Comments about Linteater® Lintcatcher® Bag (R-4203613):
The zipper on the bag is not durable at all. The zipper breaks easily. I use this product heavily in my dryer cleaning business because it catches about 98% of the lint which my customers like that idea. Please design the zipper to run horizontal and replace the cheap nylon zipper to a more heavy duty zipper. I wonder if the bag could be more of a hepa-filtering bag as well. It is too porus with a lot of lint dust. Please wear a mask when cleaning.

10 Rappers Who've Successfully Gone Solo
The Rapper: 2 Chainz
The Hip-Hop Duo He Was A Part Of: Playaz Circle
His Solo Accomplishments: 2 Chainz didn't enjoy a ton of success with Playaz Circle. The group's debut album, Supply & Demand, did hit No. 27 on the Billboard 200 chart, but it was underwhelming to say the least. As a solo artist, though, things have been totally different for him as both of his solo albums, 2012's Based of a T.R.U. Story and 2013's B.O.A.T.S. II: Me Time, have debuted in the top three on the Billboard 200 chart.

AN annual walk is to take place in memory of a four-year-old boy who died in his sleep.
Harry's Teddy Walk and Duck Race will be held on Sunday, June 29, to remember the life of Harry Jones, a former pupil at Borras Park Infants in Wrexham, who died in 2005.
Since then Harry's friends and family have raised more than £38,000 for Hope House Hospice and the annual teddy hunt for toddlers and duck race will take place at Nant Mill Country Park, Coedpoeth.
There is also a three-mile circular sponsored walk taking place this year, which is free to take part in.
There is no minimum sponsorship required.
The teddy bear walk starts at noon before the duck race and teddy hunt goes on throughout the afternoon. Families are invited to bring a picnic along for the day.
Hope House's fundraising manager, Rachel Jones, said: "We are very grateful to Harry's family for their continued support.
"They have raised a huge sum of money for us and it is wonderful that the memory of Harry lives on in this way.
"This is sure to be a lovely fun family event and we are very much looking forward to it."

CANCUN, Mexico — Idaho State handed the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women's basketball team a 65-62 loss today in the Cancun Challenge at the Moon Palace Resort.
The Lady Mocs (2-2) led by as many as 14 in the first half, but the Bengals (3-2) rallied to cut the margin to 32-27 at the half. Idaho State kept the momentum on its side with a 15-5 run to start the second half.
It was a 61-60 Bengals lead when UTC had the ball with less than two minutes left and Kylie Lambert was called for a charge.
Down 3 with less than 20 seconds to play, UTC had a chance to tie, but Kayla Christopher was called for traveling.
The score was still 65-62 when UTC got the ball back one last time, with 3 seconds left, but another turnover doomed the Lady Mocs.
The Lady Mocs will face Cincinnati on Friday.

Poetry and Preschoolers
Poetry isn't necessarily something that interests everyone. Some people like it and some people don't. What you might not know is that, more often than not, preschoolers are drawn to poetry! What is it about this style of writing that just seems to attract the little bitties? Preschoolers are "born poets." Poetry is all about using your imagination {which we all know preschoolers have an abundance of}

BabyLit Board Books
Who says what age is appropriate to introduce the classics like Jane Austen, Sherlock Holmes, Tolstoy, or Shakespeare?
Okay, maybe don't pick up the books and start reading them to your toddler-that for sure isn't appropriate, which I am sure you know!

This "BabyLit Primer" series by Jennifer …Continue reading...
Bored with Board Books?
It is no secret that you or your little ones can be bored with board books (pun intended). Of course the classics like Goodnight Moon, Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?, and We're Going on a Bear Hunt are classics for a reason. Kids love them and they are well written books! But you can only read them so many times…at least that's the case for me! I love when books are entertaining for the adult …Continue reading...
Your Kid's Habits
Many children have habits that can be frustrating for the parents to watch or to listen to. Four of the most typical habits that kids develop and parents are annoyed with are: thumb sucking nail biting nose picking hair twirling
Even though your little one's habits may bother, or even concern, you, relax! In most habit forming cases,it is just a phase in the normal developmental cycle and is not cause for concern.

5 � Two Steps back
Another day.
Another day without here.
Another day without her, being in hospital.
I haven't been going to work, and was laying in a odd manner on our bed. The stars which I brought her month on her birthday hung on our bed. I had gotten a stand fixed on the bed for her to hang the stars properly. It depressed me even further.
Or depressing was an understatement. Or was dead from inside.
It was odd, somehow to why she was having sleeping pills. Or was she having it on her own? Did someone feed her? It was when my arms started paining awfully, I realized I was in an odd position. I was drained, I needed a shower. Or her, maybe.
When my eyes cracked to give a way to the fierce stinging sunshine outside, I closed my eyes not being able to keep my eyes open. My skin burnt, I wanted someone to draw the curtains. I wasn't in the ICU any more, all I could hear was the faint sound of the people outside, and the doctors talking to patients, faint announcement, and the click of the metal plates when the nurse carried them hurriedly. Wasn't a nurse supposed to stay with me?
I felt weak, even to open my eyelids. To work hard on stretching them open to get a view of how my cabin looked in the morning. It was still raining, to my annoyance, the same pitter patter of the rain drops against the windows sills.
The same sickly sweet acidic smell of hospitals.
The fresh, strong smell of room fresheners.
The cold smell of air conditioner.
And something else, which I couldn't identify.
The small crook of my arm itched. Like something was pierced to it. I wanted to soothe it away, but my arms hurt.
In a few minutes, my nostrils were wafted by the smell of fresh roses, and finally doing the Herculean task of stretching my eyelids, I saw Arnav on the door, hair wet, shaved clean in a pair of casuals.
The best thing that could greet me this old acidic morning.
'Sweet roses for my sunshine, do you like them?' he placed them on the desk beside my bed, and himself sat on the corner of my bed, and traced my cheeks. Cold cheeks against his familiar warm hands.
But he furrowed his eyes, travelling to the crook of my arm and it turned to scowl as he stretched his hands and traced my arm. Just where it itched.
His furrow deepened, and to my surprise, for once I forgot the shooting pain in my hand and eased his brow. He smiled.
'Any new medicines, which I don't know off?' his voice wasn't any more like when he greeted me when he came.
Surprisingly, he had remembered all my medicines, from syringes, and steroids. Even when he tend to forget his own. I nodded my nod in negative.
'I'll be right back.'
When Arnav Singh Raizada walked, the people shuddered. Or else, rephrasing, when he was angry. No one liked to be in the same scene as he was.
He strode straight into the doctor's chamber, and the smiling doctor looked, and asked what the matter was.
'Did you check on Khushi last night?'
'No. Nurse did.'
'Call her, this instant.' The nurse was called. She took longer that it would take, and after good twenty minutes when she came, the poor girl wanted to run back home.
'Did you check on Khushi last night.'
She kept quiet. Her eyes casted down, and Arnav's nostrils flared up. 'Where were you all night?'
She kept quiet, and he punched the table.
'He paid me and I needed money!! I had to pay my house rent and I so took it, it was a lot for me, or more than a lot, and I planned to leave this job, but...I was late,' she drove her voice chords.
* *
I wanted to open my eyes and see what they were doing to me. I was tired though, and I kept them closed. I knew he was beside me, I needn't worry about what ever was going on.
I felt a sting on the other hand, and blood was sucked. And slowly, the sucking stopped. I felt another sting right after two minutes or so, and I slowly drifted to a sleep.
I dreamt of myself. Him. Us.
All I wanted was to be with him.
* *
The police had called him two hours back. Shyam wasn't living in the old house he used to leave, nor did his phone number worked. He had de-activated all sorts of accounts, and even his bank account was withdrawn.
Arnav should have known it all along.
Though he couldn't put his straying thoughts together. They were tangling somewhere in the air by a thin weak thread. He tried putting them in one frame, but it wouldn't just fit.
Why did he came back?
The phone beeped. It was a private number.
'I turned out to be a pianofied villain, didn't I? The notes performed over and over again ' the voice was no more obliging, calm, and measured. He sounded like someone else.
'What did you do to her?' I asked. In fact, I sounded helpless.
'Nothing much, just a few shots of something, won't do much harm.' He went cool. 'What was it?'
I signed. The phone fell.

Pregunta y Respuesta con Archaios | Dominican Republic's Premier Death Metal Band
Ola Mazzuca in conversation with the Dominincan Republic's premier death metal band ARCAIOS
Ola Mazzuca in conversation with the Dominincan Republic's premier death metal band ARCAIOS
Metalion is one of the greatest books about metal ever produced.
"If someone had told me fifteen years ago that I would have an indoor shower I would think they were crazy (laughs). I couldn't imagine I'd be working on the Howard Stern show. When I lived in a storage unit in Florida I showered with a garden hose outside. But I was young and it was for metal and we all need to make sacrifices to do what we love. I kept working on things and plugging away and played drums every day."
Justin M. Norton in conversation with Charred Walls of The Damned drummer and Howard Stern show comedian Richard Christy.
Paul Speckmann has been playing death metal longer than many fans of the genre have been walking the planet. The Chicago native started his long-running project Master in 1983. He's also played with other bands including War Cry, Abominator and the Czech death metal band Krabathor. Dark Descent Records recently reissued his early band Death Strike's demo Fuckin' Death. Speckmann recently talked to Hellbound's Justin M. Norton about the early days of Chicago death metal and his new life in Eastern Europe from his home in the Czech Republic.
"While the Stanley Cup Riot of 2011 will be neither forgiven nor forgotten any time soon, it was heartening to see Vancouver's metal scene step up and do their part to help soothe some of the sting the city's been feeling since that night. I also got my eyes opened – there are a lot of incredible bands in this city"
Rob Hughes and Kyle Harcott review the July 13th RIFFS NOT RIOTS festival that happened in Vancouver. Concert photography by Ted Reckoning.
Mean Deviation is an amazing compendium of everything weird in the world of metal—a book as grand and unlikely as the music it documents.
By Keith Carman Almost eight years into their career, Milwaukee-based quartet Cause For Revelation finally issue a debut full-length in Resurrecting The Hostility. Taking…
What the DVD does is allow the viewer to get to know Gene Hoglan, the drummer and the man. It's an entertaining watch and I'd recommend it to non-drummers who still have an interest in Gene or Gene's bands.
Rather than being labeled a horrible listen, this album is simply unsatisfying. After listening to tracks from Malevolent's previous studio release, Doomsday X, it seems that something is missing. Depth is absent, vocals lack vigor and there is nothing audibly fresh in terms of musicality
This EP plays a lot with the dynamics of sound. The interplay between loud and quiet, digital and analog creates rich waves of tension and release. I was struck by the depth of each of the tracks, not just in terms of the layers of sound but also the thought and care that went into crafting these alternate interpretations.

We know he deserves more after 35 years working his balls off for Entercom, but we think some free drinks will be sufficient and would like it if you attended. Unless you're a jerk, then do us a favor and don't come.

Mill Creek, WA
Mill Creek locals enjoy some time on the water at scenic Martha Lake just west of town. The lake provides a bit of down time from the hustle and bustle of city living, and the adjacent park has plenty of amenities to keep visitors happy. These include a fishing dock, three picnic shelters that can be reserved ahead of time, and a boardwalk winding through the natural wetland area that surrounds the lake. The park is also the site of the Martha Lake Open Water Swim, a swimming race with multiple lengths of swim that takes place on Martha Lake.
If you are interested in aviation history you would do yourself a disservice if you did not check out the Flying Heritage Collection, a rare collection of 1930s and '40s planes from many nations. The bulk of the collection consists of combat planes from World War II, many of which were salvaged from actual battlegrounds and airfields, and then carefully restored. Many of the aircraft are now fully capable of flight once more. Located at Paine Field just northwest of Mill Creek, the Flying Heritage Collection museum is a day trip you will not regret making.

Are you tired of the same old workout? Have you tried "everything" but still cannot lose weight? Do you spend more time recovering from injuries than actually training? Does your fitness level fluctuate between so-so and mediocre? Are you tired of endless hours on the treadmill, elliptical, or bike?
Do you want a challenging and rewarding workout program that burns fat and builds muscle efficiently?
Then Buckeye Kettlebells is for you
Buckeye Kettlebell Training Programs offer:
- The conditioning of a world-class fighter
- Weight loss and cardiovascular conditioning
- A strong back and improved posture
- Core strength second to none
- Injury prevention through simultaneous strength and flexibility development
- Camaraderie to help through the toughest workouts
- An ability to work at your own fitness level, while still being challenged
- Fun, challenging and intense workouts that are different than anything you have done before
The conditioning of a world-class fighter
Boxers and Mixed Martial Artists are among the most physically fit athletes in the world. Their abs are strong to withstand punches. Their cardiovascular systems are second to none. And fighters routinely push themselves to their limits in their practices.
Kettlebells will allow you to develop similar fitness levels without taking a punch (although, that can be arranged!). Ballistic kettlebell swings, cleans and snatches will work both your muscular and cardiovascular systems at the same time.
Weight loss and cardiovascular conditioning
Those who train with kettlebells discover very quickly that using heavy weights does not "bulk you up," but rather "sizes you appropriately." Snatching a kettlebell has been shown to burn up to 20 calories per minute – about what a person running a six-minute mile burns. But the kettlebell offers the benefit of strength training and less wear and tear on the joints.
A strong back and improved posture
Exercises such as the kettlebell swing and Turkish Getup strengthen the muscles of the lower back in ways traditional Western exercises do not. Hard style kettlebell training emphasizes the hips and gluteal muscles, which helps to improve posture, and eliminate back pain caused by weaknesses.
Core strength second to none
In addition to working the back muscles, hard-style kettlebell training builds strong abdominals in the front of the body. Power breathing exercises allow obliques and internal abdominals to generate up to four times the power as traditional abdominal exercises.
Injury prevention through simultaneous strength and flexibility development
Through corrective stretched and exercises developed in conjunction with the Functional Movement Screen®, students will correct imbalances and faulty movement patterns that inhibit pain-free performance.
Camaraderie to help through the toughest workouts
Buckeye Kettlebells workouts are challenging, yet fun. The group dynamic and camaraderie we foster here will help you get through the workouts, and reach your fitness goals. Our athletes are marathoners, martial artists, competitive rowers, brides, class reunion attendees, and new moms. We work together to help everyone reach their goals, and share the positive energy when new challenges are overcome.
An ability to work at your own fitness level, while still being challenged
Our members have varying degrees of fitness levels – for some setting personal strength records is important, for others, just showing up at a gym is tough enough. You will work at your own pace (with some gentle encouragement of course), and compete with your limitations, not someone else's goals. This is YOUR workout.
Fun, challenging and intense workouts that are different than anything you have done before
We rarely do the same workout twice. At Buckeye Kettlebells, we constantly ask, "What if we tried this?" and make adjustments accordingly. Often we will go back to basics, and vary sets, reps and weights. You will be challenged in ways you have not seen – and we will give you the tools and instruction to overcome those challenges.

Mexican Tribunal Suspends All Genetically Modified Corn Plantations
By Jovanna Garcia Soto
October 24th, 2013
In an unprecedented move last week, a Federal Mexican Tribunal suspended authorization for the planting of all genetically modified corn by transnational corporations such as Monsanto, Pioneer and Syngenta. The Tribunal recognized the legal interests of 53 individuals and 20 civil associations that filed a class action lawsuit against the Ministries of Agriculture and Environment, the federal government and the transnational corporations that applied for permits to plant transgenic corn. While this decision is not a permanent one, it is a groundbreaking victory in preventing commercial GMO plantations until the collective action lawsuit is resolved.
Global Peasant Movement Reaffirms Commitment to Food Sovereignty, Agroecology
Twenty years after La Vía Campesina International was founded, the global network of rural organizations has agreed to a new worldwide action plan based on small-scale farming and agro-ecology, food sovereignty, and self-determination of communities. At the same time, the group is reaffirming its stance against transnational corporations, industrial agriculture and agri-business.
Celebrating the International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples, with the Meaning of Living Well
In 1994, the United Nations designated August 9 as the International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples. Today, we at Grassroots International celebrate the lives, leadership and struggles of Indigenous Peoples around the world, including our partners who courageously defend their rights to land, territory, water, and food sovereignty, as well as the rights of Mother Earth.
The Fight Against Monsanto Continues
By Shannon Duncan
May 16th, 2013
On May 13, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of agro-chemical giant Monsanto and against small farmers on a seed patent case. This is just another example of the attacks faced by small farmers around the world. Our global partners have been fighting against international corporations like Monsanto for years—in Haiti, Mexico, and right here in the United States.
The True Costs of Industrialized Food
The real costs of the industrial food system on people's lives and the planet are as extensive as they are hidden. The article below by long-time Grassroots International friends, Beverley Bell and Tory Field of Other Worlds, offers a thought-provoking summary of those costs—all of which challenge small farmers in the Global South on a daily basis.
The True Costs of Industrialized Food
Supporting Women's Rights and Power
"There are thousands upon thousands who weren't as lucky as I was—I survived hunger....I probably would not have survived had it not been for the support and solidarity of groups like Grassroots International." Janaina Stronzake, an internationally known woman leader in the Brazilian land rights movement
Holding Their Ground
"The Conquistadors came and they subjugated us and they killed us, but they couldn't make us disappear because we always had corn. Through corn, we survived and we kept our feet in our territories. With corn at the center of our homes we kept our languages, kept writing our histories. We continued as villages, as families, as workers, as fighters, as a community with our own government, because we had and because we have corn. Now, with the invasion of genetically modified corn they are trying to throw a mortal blow at our existence, the blow that they have not been able to throw in 500 years."
--The Organizations and Communities of the Network in Defense of Maize (Translated from Spanish from the article El maíz, corazón de la esperanza de los pueblos—Corn, heart or the hope of the village—by Veronica Villa of the Red Maiz—Network in Defense of Corn)
The Maize Manifesto
Below is a letter from the National Union of Autonomous Regional Peasant Organizations (UNORCA) to officials in Mexico. UNORCA members began a hunger strike last week to prevent Monsanto from large-scale planting of genetically modified corn. They have called for international support in their efforts to protect their the biodiversity of this essential seed and staple of their lives.
Wind Farm Mega-Project in Oaxaca sparks resistance, repression

This is one of the cheaper island range hoods available; however, at over $500, I expected better quality. We have been using this for about a month now and, were it not for Overstock's terrible return policy for oversized items, we would have returned it before installing it because it did not match the product description and other quality issues that were evident as soon as we unpacked it. As a note: we received the item very quickly after it shipped. The oversized delivery policy says the carrier is supposed to call to schedule a drop off. The carrier did not do so, only calling when they were on their way. It was purely luck that my husband and I happened to be home when they called. As far as the product itself, the description on the website was incomplete. I looked for a very long time for a range hood that did not incorporate glass into the design. The product description on this one says "Stainless Steel" (other ones do say "Stainless Steel and Glass") but when we unpacked it we saw that there is a huge top panel made entirely of glass and that glass is, in fact, a big part of the design. That was not clear from either the pictures or the description, and though Overstock representatives acknowledged this, they still would not make it easy for me to return the product to exchange it for something else. The buttons on the hood are really dinky. They don't seem to fit their holes very well and sit cockeyed. We noticed this right away. Other than this, the hood looks nice enough. I just wish it worked a little better because I cook a lot and needed something a bit more heavy duty than this. Another quality issue is that one of the lights on the hood went out after just two weeks. As another commenter has posted, it is not at all clear how you can replace the light. Regardless, I don't understand why a light goes out within two weeks of installation. An Overstock representative has submitted a request for a replacement light and instructions, as the manual doesn't cover them, and I should hear back in the next few days. Functionally, this hood doesn't have a whole lot of suction. We tested it by putting incense (so we could watch the smoke) at various points on our stove where the burners are. Quite a bit of the smoke escaped. It helps the overall atmosphere in our house to have it, but I do think other ones probably perform better. The noise level seems reasonable. I do like that it has a filter that you can remove and put in the dishwasher. This is recommended every 30 days.
Builder installed this hood in my new home in October of 2010. They did not keep the instructions. Unit worked fine until April of this year, when one of the bulbs went out. Another bulb went out approx. 2 weeks later. We had absolutely no idea on how to change the bulbs as we didn't have the instructions and we didn't want to damage anything as it is very hard to figure out exactly how to change them (there is a little compact housing unit, with a halogen bulb inside that). I emailed the company asking for instructions and never received a response. I then called and spoke to Ellen and she told me that it has a 1-year warranty but that they have replacement bulbs and she would call or email me with more info. I then told her that ours is out of the warranty and if she could just give me the information on either a) bulbs or b) buying the entire housing (if that's what I needed to do) then I would buy them, providing she give me instructions. Two emails from me and a week later, Ellen finally responds to one of my emails and says she will provide 4 housings free of charge if I will give her my shipping address. I then do so via email, and two months later I still have no written instructions and she never sent me any new housings. I called again Monday, and was told (by someone that wasn�t Ellen) that I would get a response via email or phone but have not received either. At this point all 4 lights are out. So, we figure out how to take the little light unit out and took it to a local electrical supply company. It took two of their employees plus a licensed electrician to figure out how to get into that thing, at which point we figured out that it takes a 20w halogen. So, 4 bulbs later we changed them out and they worked. For approx. 6 hours. Then, all four of them went out at one time. SO, now we will probably have to call an electrician to come fix this but at this point I�m thinking of pulling it out of our ceiling and scrapping it at the recycler. PROS Attractive, looks great � the Flotera stencil didn�t bother us that much CONS Fan doesn�t pull that great, don�t expect a lot out of that Lights IMPOSSIBLE to figure out how to change Apparently there are wiring/fuse/electrical issues, but can�t go any further on that considering I don�t want to have to fork out money for a licensed electrician to come look at it Customer Service sucks (helpful hint � post some instructions on your website!) If you want something that looks great but isn�t that functional, then this is a fair deal. I researched a lot of these before I bought this one and apparently there aren�t a lot of manufacturers producing island hoods. But, if you actually want to use it (lights and fan) then I would buy something else. We are very disappointed, as we use(d) the lights every day.
This island range hood was nicely packaged and delivered in perfect condition. I am very experienced with home renovation/repair and it took me one day to install.The owner's manual was poor. The installation instructions basically consisted of one paragraph, but I studied the diagrams and installed it with minimal difficulty. The operating instructions did not seem to match this hood, so I had to figure out how it worked on my own. To summarize, this hood is sturdy, attractive, and provides good lighting and exhaust. I believe it is a 5-star product, but it has a 1-star owner's manual (which made ease of assembly more difficult).
I have had this installed for about a year now. The fan works great (ducted to outside) and has a removable screen with a few power settings. The lights add light to the cooktop area but wouldn't use them as the sole source for lighting cooktop. One drawback was that no finish for the installation was provided for where the ceiling meets the vent. I had to purchase something from hardware store to give a finished look. Other than that, it works great and have had no issues.
Having a construction background, I was able to get this gizmo installed and operational despite the horribly incomplete installation instructions provided by the manufacturer. But, what was really great was how Overstock.com dealt with shipping damage. I was totally and completely blown away by the rapid, high-tier response customer service and oversize teams gave me. I would recommend this product AND O.com to anyone.
Although I love the appearance of this hood, my contractor complained about the quality, specifically the plastic parts. I haven't had a problem, but do not use it excessively.
I had no idea that the island fans would be so expensive. When the contractor told me it would be around $1500. I went into the Overstock site. There were the expensive fans but also the less expensive, but they work great. These fans have no walls to hang from. They must be hung from ceiling. The fan was ordered the last week in October, I had it in November. But when I opened it the glass was all over the box. I called Overstock and within a 2 week period I had a new fan. I could not believe the wonderful staff at Overstock had replaced the fan at such speed. The price was also such a great deal. Since then I always go to the Overstock site first on anything I need. My friends call me the Overstock Queen. Thank you Overstock.
I bought this range hood in 2009 and it's still top notch. I see the price is slightly higher (by about $15 or so) but that can be remedied by adding a promo code to get about $30.00 off. I am in need of purchasing new bulbs for 3 of the 4 lights on this unit but besides that, no problems at all!! This is at a great price for the great quality and beautiful design!!
beautiful vent & unobtrusive for me as I am 5 feet tall. there is quite a distance it must go to exaust outside and maybe it would be more powerful if that wasn't the case.

Restarting, again, and again.
My sister's boyfriend brought over his computer and an extra case, the task, move his computer components into the other case since the other case had working Hard Drive mounts.
So we extract everything from the old case and clean off the layers of dust and condensed dust bunnies from the fan areas. We used compressed air canisters bought from the local computer shop. I used the canister to blow air out of the heatsink, fans, chipset heatsink, the graphics card, and the PSU.
I also put Arctic Silver 5 on the CPU and Chipset heatsinks.
We then put everything inside the "new" case but everything was a tight fit due to the sheer size of the motherboard and especially the graphics card.
After hooking up everything we turned it on. . .Then it shut itself off, then turned itself on and stayed on, but nothing showed-up on the screen, both of us directing attention to the GFX card.
But after tinkering and trying many techniques, including a BIOS reset, disconnect the hard drives, then take out the GFX card, but the issue persists. The computer turns on and then shuts off, again, and, again, and again, stuck in this loop. I'm suspicious of the issue being power related, but there can also be a different hardware issue.
I want you to all post any and all solutions possible, he is staying the night for 4 days and we are scratching our heads over this, we will read and follow any advice and possible solutions given so please post anything you would suspect to cause this continuous restart loop.
Computer specs:
OS: Windows 7 and Linux Dual-boot
Processor: Intel i7 920 using stock fan and heatsink.
Motherboard: Intel DX58SO (this thing is HUGE)
Hard Drive(s):
x1 1TB SATA
x1 500GB SATA
x1 200GB SATA (boot drive)
Graphics: Nvidia GeForce EVGA 9800GTX 512MB (long card)
Power: 500W unit
Again, please post any possible fixes and we will attempt them next time we look at this thread.
Thank you.

Please double check all connections from the power supply to the motherboard, hard drives, graphics cards, CD drives, floppy, etc etc etc. After this, ensure that the processor is seated properly, as is the RAM, and remove all but one stick of ram and attempt the boot (try with all sticks of RAM if the issue persists, to rule this out).
|My System Specs

Windows 7 64 Bit Home Premium SP1
The DX58SO is an ATX standard motherboard. Are you trying to fit it into a case that was designed for micro-ATX? I suspect this from the "tight fit" and "huge" comments.
If this is the case, then you want to carefully examine the mounts on the case and the corresponding mounts on the motherboard. They will be different on a micro-ATX case. If you have a mount on the case that is not aligned with a mount hole on the MB that can cause a short circuit which could explain your symptoms.
If the video card is not seated properly - not all the way in - because of obstructions this will also cause that symptom, as will any other component not connected properly as LiquidSnak said.
To test for power issues disconnect all but essential components: CPU, RAM, Video, and only the boot hard drive, keyboard & mouse.
It would also be helpful for us to know the configuration of the old box vs the configuration of the new box to see if you have mixed-and-matched parts.
|My System Specs
|11 Jul 2011
Ina addition to the great advice above, double check the P4 connector from the power supply, and make sure that it is securely attached to the motherboard in the CPU power plug. That will definitely cause a shutdown.
|My System Specs
|11 Jul 2011
@TVeblen: The "new" case may be an ATX case for the reason that I saw only ATX brands stamped inside, when he wakes up we are going to switch everything back into the old case.
If it still does the restarting when connected in the old case then I will try all of your other fixes.
UPDATE: Okay, it is running again after putting it in it's revious case, thank you all for your suggestions and help!

Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 X64 (Windows 10, 8.1, Linux Mint, Windows XP and others in VM)
Glad you got it running. Next time try a bigger case, it may work better. Get a HAF X, you can park your truck in it.
