KC Ice Bowl 2013
Ice Bowl follows these rules: No Postponements, No Cancellations, No Wimps, No Whiners!
Every January and February, in cities and towns across North America and a few in Europe, Ice Bowls are held to raise money for charities, most of which help fight hunger. The 232 Ice Bowl events in 2012 raised over $300,000. Since 1996, over $2 million have been raised via Ice Bowl® disc golf tournaments.
Last year's Kansas City Ice Bowl raised a total of $8,000, which was split equally between Harvesters and Bishop Sullivan Center. This year's goal is $10,000.
The 26th Annual KC Ice Bowl is produced by the Kansas City Flying Disc Club, and will once again feature casual competition, lunch, and fun.
Volunteers and Donations
Volunteers are needed to help the weekend of the event. If you are interested in helping out- even if it's just a few hours, please contact Ben Crosby. Phone: 785-393-1555 Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
We encourage the KC disc golf community to download and print the Pledge Sheet and ask your friends and family to help out by pledging money for each hole you play at Ice Bowl.
We also depend on donated prizes for the CTP Contest, such as new discs, clothing, gift certificates, or most anything that people might like to win. Bring donations to the Ice Bowl, to Disc Golf World, or to Ben Crosby.Pledge Sheet
The standard $16 entry includes a hot stamped commemorative DX disc, nested mini set, lunch on Sunday, and at least $8 to our charities. You may choose another disc for your entry disc by paying the upgrade charge listed on the registration form.
Registration available at Disc Golf World
The best way to sign up is to visit Disc Golf World because you can pick up your player's package disc and mini set, as well as purchasing clothing, other plastic, CTP tickets, and mulligans. All purchases enhance our charitable donations.
If you can't make it to DGW, you can call 816.471.3472 and register with a bank card. Or you can fill in your registration form and mail it, along with a check to 509 E 18th St, KCMO 64108. Or you could fill at an entry and then scan it with payment information to email@example.com. Or you can fax your entry to 816.471.4653. In these cases, you will pick up your schwag at the Ice Bowl, unless you want to stop by to pick it up earlier.

Can't Play This Year? Why Not Make a Donation?
CTP Tickets and Mulligans
A KC Ice Bowl tradition is the ongoing CTP (closest-to-the-pin) contest. Last year's top prize was a target. A person may only win one prize with the winner choosing first from the prize table. There might be a raffle this year as well. If this happens, your ticket can be used for either activities. Another tradition is the use of mulligans during the first round. All the money from these activities go directly to our charities.
When Are You Playing?
There is competition at the Ice Bowl, and even though it's not to be taken too seriously, we still want as many people as possible to play at least one round of golf on Saturday or Sunday morning. For those who want the chance to win something, the nine-hole "money" round is played Sunday afternoon. Players are ranked by their scores from the first round, which means you'll be very closely matched with the others on your card. You'll be told which nine holes you'll play. The player on each card with the best total score wins a DX disc. The person with the very best score is the Ice Bowl Champion and gets to keep the traveling trophy for one year.
Potluck Lunch and Chili Contest
One of the best traditions of the KC Ice Bowl is bringing food to share, especially chili, which automatically gets entered into the Chili Contest, which awards a grand prize. Is your chili the best?! Bring out a crock or 2 and let's find out. Contact Rhonda Crosby at 785-424-3672 for more information on the chili contest.

THE SCAR LETTERS by Richard Alther is a beautifully written account of a gay man's psychological and emotional journey from being the victim of a chilling hate crime to blossoming into a self-assured individual. Rudy must reconcile not only the horrible memory and scars of his attack, but also his childhood and romantic past.
"There are many sexual scenes but they do not cross the line of typified erotic fiction. This novel not only explores sexuality but stereotypes and expectations of gays as well.
"Beyond fiction THE SCAR LETTERS is a valuable player in the social battles and conversations that permeate the media and all of our relationships today. ~ Elise Wallace, The Editorial Freelancers Association
There is certainly no question that Richard Alther's new novel, The Scar Letters, transcends the genre of gay fiction, but to label it 'literary fiction' could too easily dissuade a sensible reader from picking it up, reading a few pages, and then sitting back with a sigh of satisfaction, knowing that here is a really good book.
"The Scar Letters is narrated by Rudy Dallmann, a gay man in his forties, who was brutally attacked and raped some twenty years earlier, and has lived in semi-isolation ever since. Forced by his longtime and closest friend, Tex, to confront the issue, Rudy sets about in his own quietly determined fashion to reconcile his past with his present and hopes for the future. Rudy is not the sort to 'assert himself into everything dead-center,' but he is an honest man, with himself and others—not a small accomplishment in a gay or any other world.
"This is a very compelling story—a universal story—difficult to believe anyone could have told it better. Alther handles narrative and characters like a truly gifted film director or cinematographer. We are in Rudy's head, but the camera sweeps, darts, settles, focusing on one aspect and then another of the well-developed supporting cast. Location and action merge effortlessly into memorable scenes, and the often troubling past is filtered through the emerging present, leaving narrator and reader (as Rudy says after hearing Mahler) "hushed, drained, somehow elevated." There is never an awkward sentence or a sentiment that disappoints.
"Alther intersperses his story with accounts—often just a few sentences, a full chapter in one instance—of the horrifying treatment homosexuals have encountered throughout recorded history. There is nothing heavy handed about this; it is simply there to remind the reader that it has always been there and for a variety of reasons. At this particular time, as the country grapples with the issue of same-sex marriage, Alther's calm recitationof this horrendous heritage should certainly give pause to those of us who have never lived with this kind of fear.
Overall, this is a great book and a great story and a must read. The Scar Letters is a story of our struggle with hate crimes, and how it affect our community, We must support this beautifully-written book that will become part of our history.
RICHARD ALTHER'S first two novels are The Decade of Blide Dates and Siegfried Follies. He is also a Master's Swimmer and exhibiting painter, living in Vermont and Southern California with his husband Ray Repp.
The Scar Letters is published by Centaur Books of Chicago and it is available on Amazon.com, at $14.28

big rock tee
by M.NII
M.Nii shorts have been worn by big wave riders of Makaha, Hawaii since becoming a staple in the surf community during the 50′s and 60′s. M.Nii Makaha shorts were born out of a "mom and pop" tailor shop that saw a need for comfortable and reliable swim shorts built with surfers in mind. Made from a simple twill, the shorts may have started a move toward durable built trunks. During the time, surfers would go to the M. Nii's shop and have custom shorts outfitted for them. While the custom shop may be long gone, surfers and fans alike may still enjoy the original M.Nii Makaha short as worn more than a half century ago.Back To Product View All From This Designer

Product Details
The signature pocket tee from M.NII with chest stripe art inspired by stripes decorating the surfboards of the era. Heavy garment wash for a soft finish.
• 100% jersey cotton
• machine washable
• made in USA

TRAINING LEVEL: Basic
CLASS SIZE: Minimum: 20 Maximum: 30
Transportation agencies have made large investments in their pavement infrastructure, which makes effective pavement management an important component of an agency's transportation asset management program. However, pavement management concepts are not always taught in the traditional civil engineering curriculum and there is little training available on this important concept. In fact, in a 2006 survey of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) division offices, most offices indicated a need for training in this area. The need was further emphasized by participants at the 2007 National Pavement Management Conference.
This 1.5-day course was designed to help improve the effectiveness of an existing pavement management program. In addition to introducing the basic components of an effective pavement management program, the course materials illustrate the effective use of pavement management information and provide opportunities for participants to identify strategies that will help enhance their existing capabilities. The focus of the class is broad enough to include data collection activities, condition assessment, program development, investment analysis, and other uses of pavement management information to support an agency's decision processes to improve pavement performance. The role of pavement management in supporting an agency's transportation asset management program at the strategic, network, and project levels is also introduced.
This 1.5-day version of the course allows for a state to receive all of the lessons in Module 4: Lesson 4-1 (strategies to improve the effectiveness of the agency's pavement management program), Lesson 4-2 (pavement condition assessment and performance modeling), and Lesson 4-3 (using pavement management to support a pavement preservation program). Since it is offered at no charge, availability of instructors may be limited.
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
The target audience for this course includes transportation professionals from state and local agencies responsible for managing and maintaining pavements and/or prioritizing pavement projects for programming purposes. Course participants should be directly involved with providing data to support pavement management activities, selecting pavement projects, developing candidate project recommendations, or determining funding allocations for pavement-related activities. The primary audience will be practitioners from state highway agencies, but the course is also appropriate for individuals from local agencies.

Neal Augenstein,
WASHINGTON - The man wanted for two pipe bombings in Stafford County and one in Fredericksburg has been arrested in Montana, after setting off two bombs during a pursuit, investigators say.
Laurence Stewart II was spotted near Great Falls, Mont. according to Richard Marianos, special agent in charge for the Washington field office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Tobacco tells WTOP.
"He threw a number of pipe bombs at the cops that were chasing him," Marianos says.
Stewart's arrest comes the day after ATF, Virginia State Police, and Stafford County Sheriff's Department named him as the suspect in three local pipe bombings, targeting his former fiancee and two deputies who had previously arrested Stewart.
"This shows how a million eyes looking for one guy works," says Marianos.
Marianos says ATF agents and other investigators will travel to Montana, to aid in the extradition of Stewart, who faces three counts of attempted capital murder, as well as terror and arson charges.
In a statement, Stafford Sheriff's office says when police in Montana attempted to stop Stewart's vehicle he threw a pipe bomb, and sped off.
After his car was disabled by police "Stewart left his car and ran on foot, armed with a handgun. He was taken into custody. At this time there is no indication that any shots were fired during his capture," according to the statement.
"He'll be brought back to face our charges, and he'll also be facing new ones for deploying explosive devices out there," Marianos says.
This past Tuesday, local investigators say the bombs targeted a detective and deputy who arrested Stewart in an earlier domestic violence case, as well as his former fiancee's home.
Wednesday, Stafford County Sheriff Charles Jett had implored the public's help in capturing Stewart.
"This man is a serious danger and threat to society, and has already attempted to murder two law enforcement officers, their families and citizens," Jett says.

Ford EcoSport urban CUV unveiled in China
by Zach Bowman (RSS feed) on Apr 23rd, 2012 at 9:57AM
Ford has unveiled the production version of its EcoSport crossover at the 2012 Beijing Motor Show. The small five-door utility should offer buyers plenty of functionality in a compact and efficient package thanks to a range of drivetrain configurations including a 1.0-liter, three-cylinder Ecoboost engine. The small-displacement engine is good for 118 horsepower and 125 pound-feet of torque, which should be more than enough to move the little machine around. All told, Ford says the EcoSport will see duty in over 100 world markets, though the CUV isn't expected to show up in our neck of the... Read More

Kershaw county woman arrested on tax related charges
South Carolina Department of Revenue (SCDOR) investigators today arrested a woman from Cassatt, S.C.
Jessica N. Dotson, 23, was arrested on two counts of obtaining signature or property by false pretenses.
In 2009, the SCDOR received a 2008 individual income tax return and two fraudulent W-2 forms in the name of Jessica N. Dotson. The SCDOR determined Dotson did not work for either company indicated on the W-2s and that she received fraudulent tax refunds totaling $7,585.78 for tax year 2008.
Also in 2009, the SCDOR received another individual's 2008 income tax return and fraudulent W-2 form. The SCDOR determined the individual was unaware that a fraudulent tax return had been filed in her name with the agency and that Dotson received the individual's fraudulent tax refunds.
If convicted, Dotson could face charges of no more than ten years in prison and fined in the discretion of the court.

Weve used drugs through the ages to heal our bodies and minds, to connect with a higher power, to feel better, for recreation, to escape, for performance enhancement, and even to prolong our lives while considering the devastating consequences that accompany the choice to use certain drugs. This fascinating, fresh, and insightful documentary will ask the question: overall, have drugs done more to help us or hurt us?
Hosted by Dean Norris, THE STONED AGES will journey through the millennia and look in on the greatest civilizations in human history to discover if drugs helped these societies flourish or fail and whether drug use was holy or hedonistic, a savior or a curse. How can drugs that are worshipped in one society be morally reprehensible and often illegal in another? And what causes some good drugs to go bad?

I reeally love those earrings! Your daughter has great taste!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the link to the etsy shop, I'm going to have to go take a look around when I have a bit more time.
oh man...that art on the quilt would have been devastatingReplyDelete
Your daughter picked out very cute earrings for you! And great job on the flower, it certainly doesn't look like you winged it!ReplyDelete
Now the art....you see, he's used to so much wonderful color and pattern around with quilts and fabric, that the white sheets were just calling out for him to decorate :)
Next year I am going to have to make it a point to go to the Beehive Bazaar. You always find the best stuff.ReplyDelete
Great job on your flower corsage. It goes perfect with your outfit.
Your flower turned out wonderful. I love making things like that to add some pizaaz to an outfit. The earrings are gorgeous. Daughter did great.ReplyDelete
Nice art on the bed sheet!ReplyDelete
I saw those earrings at the Beehive Bazaar. I bought two cute vinyl headbands for my nieces there. fun stuff. and cute corsage.
I am going to venture out of Idaho one of these days and make it to the BB. Sounds wonderful.ReplyDelete
I would totally use that elastic on the 20 minute skirt!! http://www.rufflesandstuff.com/2010/04/20-minute-skirt.html
One of my children used to be a "resident artist"--permanent marker on her closet door, bedroom walls, and kitchen wall...guess that's how I got so good at painting...and she did finally grow out of it!ReplyDelete
Awesome stuff!!!ReplyDelete
My resident artist (2) likes walls, every time I clean it up he colors more, so I just leave it now, I'll clean it up when he's 5 LOL!
Hi Amy...ReplyDelete
Your corsage is beautiful and so perfect for Mothers Day!
I love the earrings and I bought the hairclip that matches..
Well, I think that you should teach your little artist to embroidery over the drawn lines for a set of swanky sheets!
BTW...I would use the elastic for a skirt too.
Have a great day Amy,
Your corsage is very pretty!ReplyDelete
I have a resident hairdresser/makeup artist.
I love the corsage! So cute.ReplyDelete
My sisters were the resident artists in my house. They decorated my sheets with hot pink lipstick when I was at school one day. Kids... :)
Love the flower corsage and earrings.. your daughter's got great taste! And that last picture made me gasp lol Oh boy...ReplyDelete
those plain white sheets are just a blank canvas BEGGING for some color ;)ReplyDelete
What fun finds! I need my box to arrive and then I can do my post from both Oh Sweet Sadie and Beehive Bazar!ReplyDelete
You can have him bring his crayons to our house anytime! Having you store ours really cured her of drawing on things she should not.ReplyDelete
Mark told me to come out to the Bazaar, but unfortunately I never had time. Looks like I missed out.
I hope the drawings permanent. It's so cute. Maybe he should go into designing children's sheets. It could be really fun for him.ReplyDelete
I love the schnibble quilt. I recently bought the book so I'm excited to make one this summer. Maybe two or three. We will see.
Thank you so much for your comments - they make my day! I try to respond to as many as my 'mommy' time allows, but life sometimes gets in the way. Please know how much I appreciate each of them.
I apologize for the current comment settings that require a registered user account. They are the only way that I don't get tons of gross spam. I'm hoping Blogger will make a way where people who are not registered users, but would like to leave a comment can do so. Please, Blogger! In the mean time, thanks for your patience.
I also love to respond to questions. If you are a no-reply blogger, please leave an email address so I can get back to you. Or you can email me directly: amy @ diaryofaquilter.com. Thanks!

china-hutch re-do is still probably my favorite furniture makeover, but the chair is definitely a close second. Cost-wise per chair: Chair = $5, primer = $3.50, paint = $3.50, fabric = $2.25 for a total of $14.25. I think I can handle doing the other one.

Love, love, love this!! You did an awesome job!!:)ReplyDelete
Great job. Loves the new chair!ReplyDelete
I like your chair makeover! Looks great!ReplyDelete
very very nice!!!ReplyDelete
Love your chair! I'm channelling the same Scandinavian feel over here in Australia (you've reminded me to go down to the garage and give my project another coat of nearly-white...). Hope my finished product looks as good as yours!ReplyDelete
I love that fabric, and it goes so well with that white chairReplyDelete
You are a very talented and amazing woman. Great job with the chair.ReplyDelete
Good work, and doesn't it feel great?ReplyDelete
OH! I just saw this glazing tutorial and it would be so awesome for the beautiful detail on your chair: http://www.allthingsthrifty.com/2011/06/video-tutorial-glazing-detail-of-your.htmlReplyDelete
Wish my neighbours were selling chairs as nice as these - it looks wonderful!!ReplyDelete
Looks fabulous, like a new item and incredible skills to make something so pretty for next to no cost! xReplyDelete
I love the clean look of the chairs, and the white makes the details of the carving pop. Well done! Ooh, I'd love chairs like this. :)ReplyDelete
Nicely done -- I like the clean white of the paint and the stripey pink fabric. If it were me, I'd not distress it.ReplyDelete
I also had to go back and read your posts on redoing the china cabinet and your second hand living room.
OOOOH what a difference a coat of paint and fabric makes !!!ReplyDelete
woah - great find! I love the look of the finished chair.ReplyDelete
Honestly I've seen some 'make overs' recently where I thought it looked better before (I didn't comment!) but this chair looks a million times better. I like the vibe you were going for and think you were successful! They look lovely and I like the fabric choice with the white. Nice job :) Now if you'd like to come and have a go at mine...?!ReplyDelete
Lovely! I have some chairs like that that I've been meaning to redo for, like, 5 years. Sheesh.ReplyDelete
Oh Amy! It turned out awesome! I love the clean white and the stripe fabric together. I definitely wouldn't glaze them. Just a gloss for protection maybe.ReplyDelete
They look fantastic!!ReplyDelete

it's really kind of hard to just simply "stack" defense versus avoidance because of the way blizzard itemizes gear. most epic tanking pieces have a mix of defense and avoidance stats on them. as far as gemming is concerned, I've always been of the opinion that once you have the defense cap you should be gemming for stamina to increase your Effective Health, because avoidance kind of comes on its own as gear improves. also consider that avoidance is subject to diminishing returns, even when it comes from Defense Skill. so the more of it you stack, the less benefit you get from it per point:
if you find yourself having to make a choice between two pieces of gear based on raw avoidance and defense skill, just do the comparison on a piece-by-piece basis. if one increases your total avoidance more than the other without sacrificing other stats to an unreasonable degreee, i'd say wear it. I wouldn't say you need to worry so much about stacking one over the other, unless you're worried that you might fall under cap. However, if you're ever unsure, I would say err on the side of defense.

We dined here on our first night in Vietnam after reading a few reviews on Trip Advisor. Having spent the day walking around the busy, sometime chaotic, streets of the Old Town in Hanoi, it really was the perfect place to dine. We sat on the roof terrace rather than in the air con restaurant inside, as the evening temperature was not too hot, and we wanted to still experience Hanoi despite being many floors up. The restaurant was friendly and the food and service excellent. It was a great way to spend our first evening of three weeks in Vietnam. Many thanks Gourmet Corner for a great introduction to an amazing country.
Whilst staying at another hotel in Hanoi and being force fed set menu's at some dodgy places, we broke free and found this place (courtesy of Trip Advisor).
The food here is impeccable, as is the service and all the staff.
Genuinely the nicest meal I have eaten in any country for a long time.
Cheap by western prices too, we had cocktails, 2 two course meals, coffee's and a bottle of wine, for approx £40.
Michelin star in the waiting??
Would eat here every day if I could.

For most women, menopause—the cessation of menstrual periods—is a normal, natural occurrence. The average age at menopause is 51, although any time after 40 is considered normal. The years leading up to the menopausal transition—a time known as the perimenopause—may be characterized by changes in the menstrual period, hot flashes (a sudden feeling of warmth, sometimes accompanied by sweating), emotional ups and downs, sleep disturbances, and vaginal dryness. Some of these symptoms may continue after menopause. The severity of symptoms varies dramatically from person to person, ranging from barely noticeable menstrual changes to an experience described as debilitating. Women who experience menopause abruptly because of the surgical removal of their ovaries (called surgical menopause) typically have much more severe symptoms than women who experience a natural menopause.
Both the perimenopausal and postmenopausal periods may present additional challenges for women who have diabetes. For one thing, the hormonal fluctuations that are common to perimenopause can affect blood glucose levels. For another, some symptoms of menopause are the same as or easily confused with the symptoms of high or low blood glucose levels, so the cause must be determined before corrective action can be taken. In addition, both diabetes and menopause raise a woman's risk of osteoporosis, so women with diabetes must be proactive about taking steps to keep their bones strong. Lack of sleep, whether related to menopause, stress, or something else, can disrupt diabetes control. And menopause is often associated with weight gain, which can make blood glucose control more difficult.
The menopausal process
A woman is said to be postmenopausal one year after her final menstrual period. Menstrual periods may be very irregular in the years leading up to the final period, sometimes with only one to three cycles occurring per year in the late perimenopause. A small percentage of women stop having periods abruptly without any cycle fluctuation. Although fertility declines sharply after age 40, perimenopausal women can become pregnant, so contraception is necessary for sexually active women who do not wish to become pregnant until menopause is confirmed. Once a woman has gone a year without a period, she can no longer become pregnant.
As the ovaries age, they become less responsive to the hormonal messengers on which they rely for regular function, and greater amounts of estrogen and progesterone are required for ovulation and menstruation to occur. The perimenopausal years are characterized by fluctuating, although not necessarily low, levels of these hormones. The unstable levels of estrogen and progesterone contribute to menstrual cycle irregularities and perimenopausal symptoms. They can also contribute to unstable blood glucose levels. While the effects of estrogen and progesterone on diabetes control are not entirely understood, in general, it appears that higher levels of estrogen may improve insulin sensitivity, while higher levels of progesterone may decrease insulin sensitivity. When insulin sensitivity decreases, more insulin is needed to get glucose into the cells.
The changes associated with perimenopause commonly begin about three to five years before a woman's final menstrual period, although some women notice subtle changes as early as their late 30's. Eventually, the ovaries become unresponsive and unable to ovulate (release eggs). Once the ovaries cease ovulating altogether, estrogen levels decline, and menstrual periods stop. However, hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disturbances, and mood fluctuations may continue for several years. Vaginal dryness due to low estrogen levels may persist if not treated.

A bunion is a thickened lump at the base of the big toe. It is the result of the movement of the base of the big toe away from the smaller toes. At the same time, the top of the big toe moves toward the smaller toes. This instability creates metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint inflammation and bursitis at the base of the big toe.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
The exact cause of bunions is unknown, but it is likely a combination of genetics and environmental factors.
Bunions are more common in women than in men. Other factors that may increase your chance of getting a bunion include:
You should seek medical attention if you have diabetes and you are having problems with your feet.
Bunions may cause:
The doctor will examine your foot and ask about your symptoms. An
of your foot will be used to diagnose the bunion. It will also show the severity and amount of damage.
The goals of treatment are to relieve pressure on the bunion and stop progression of the deformity.
Padding the bunion may reduce pain and allow you to continue a normal, active life.
Taping helps to keep the foot in a normal position, reducing stress and pain.
Medication may be used to ease pain and inflammation, including:
Wear shoes that are wide and deep in the toe area. Make sure the top of the shoe doesn't hit or rub against the bunion. There should be half an inch of space between the shoe and the end of your longest toe when you are standing. It is best to try on shoes later in the day.
Physical therapy can relieve inflammation and pain. Ultrasound therapy is often used to treat bunions and related soft tissue problems.
Shoe inserts may help maintain foot function. They may reduce symptoms and prevent worsening of the deformity.
may be needed to relieve the pressure and repair the toe joint, if the other treatments fail. Surgical procedures include:

This blog has been silent too long. I've had some health issues affecting my hands; maybe I'll write about them eventually, but for now let's just say I've recovered enough to tentatively revive this blog, though probably on a low scale.
It's Caturday; and since the Kittywampus hiatus coincided with an issue that put the word "pussy" in the mouths of the journo-commentariat (they're still trying to spit out the furballs), it seems only fitting for this blog to support those three brave Russian feminists who are now serving a jail term for questioning the rottenness of their state.
Sure, we've got our own rottenness here in the U.S., too. When was the last time the pundits or politicians spared a thought for Bradley Manning? Why do I find far more Canadian sources than U.S. ones on this week's deportation of war resister Kimberly Rivera from Canada and her arrest at the Canadian border? How can the Obama Administration possibly justify its defense of the NDAA?
But see, it's not a question of ignoring abuses of the rule of law at home while highlighting abuses abroad. We can deplore the state-sanctioned violence against Manning even as we condemn Russia's sentencing of Pussy Riot for being loud and insulting in a cathedral (their real crime was criticizing the state).
At the New York Times, Vadim Nikitin wrote last month that Western supporters are simply jumping on a bandwagon, merely [u]sing dissidents to score political points against the Russian regime." This is too facile. The Russian regime is profoundly anti-democratic. It deserves to have points scored against it. While I respect his point that using dissidents as pawns is a game that goes back to the good ole Cold War days – and thus ought to come under scrutiny – the fact is, Putin is gutting what remains of Russia's fragile democracy.
Nikitin also joins a number of North American feminists in decrying some of Pussy Riot's most overtly offensive stunts – in particular, those involving public sex. I will gladly concede that I do not see the political or artistic merit or utility of such stunts, while I definitely do see how they would just reinforce the objectification of women to most casual observes.
But none of these caveats present a roadblock to supporting Pussy Riot, and Nikitin insistence that they're dealbreakers strikes me as disingenuous:
You can't have the fun, pro-democracy, anti-Putin feminism without the incendiary anarchism, extreme sexual provocations, deliberate obscenity and hard-left politics. … Because what Pussy Riot wants is something that is equally terrifying, provocative and threatening to the established order in both Russia and the West (and has been from time immemorial): freedom from patriarchy, capitalism, religion, conventional morality, inequality and the entire corporate state system. We should only support these brave women if we, too, are brave enough to go all the way.
Actually, even though I'm not a hard-core anti-capitalist, the Pussy Riot program all sounds pretty good to me. But Nikitin creates a false dilemma. You most certainly can support Pussy Riot in their moment of persecution without agreeing with all of their stances or tactics. We do this all the time, as when we defend the right to freedom of expression for people whose speech we find abhorrent.
The three band members made eloquent closing statements at their trial, showing that they understood, deeply, that this wasn't a case about punk music constituting blasphemy. The stakes were nothing less than authoritarianism, human rights, freedom of artistica and political expression, and the state manipulation of media. Pussy Riot knows this. We too should recognize it – and dwell upon the ways in which the U.S. government, too, is systematically eroding liberties and making martyrs of dissidents. The rule of law hangs in the balance, not just the freedom of three young women, and not just in Russia either.
And so, by the great power invested in my by this blog, I hereby declare today Anti-Authoritarian Caturday.
