About Christopher Pelham
To extend is a fundamental aspect of God which He gave to His Son. In the creation, God extended Himself to His creations and imbued them with the same loving Will to create. You have not only been fully created, but have also been created perfect. Because of your likeness to your Creator you are creative. No child of God can lose this ability because it is inherent in what he is.
— A Course in Miracles
Christopher Pelham is Director and co-founder of CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing). His responsibilities include overseeing the front desk staff, a diverse and inspiring roster of teachers and calendar of classes, workshops and arts programs, much of the web and graphic design and marketing, and a fair bit of the accounting and tax preparation. Since he began producing in 1997, he has had the privilege of presenting dozens and dozens of wonderful artists from all over the world.
While his job as Director of CRS keeps him busy with many diverse tasks, a situation to which he is perhaps well-suited being a jack-of-all-trades (and master of none), his ultimate responsibility is to facilitate the steady expansion of the CRS community and the ability of its members to extend their own creative gifts, individually and collectively
When and where opportunity permits, Christopher lends a hand (or more often, simply a voice) to the Drupal open-source content management/publishing platform and to various causes like the fight to keep harmful chemicals and GM plants and organisms off the shelves and out of the environment, empowering people through the dissemination of knowledge, promoting gender and racial equality and self-determination movements, etc., and to activist groups like OWS, Beyond Nuclear, Shut Down Indian Point Now, and many others. He confesses that his desire to see everyone treated with equal love and respect still provokes feelings of anger and sadness in him and he continues to doggedly pursue a spiritual practice in order to transform these ultimately judgmental and divisive thoughts into unconditional love that may inspire healing and unifying action.
From a young age, Christopher immersed himself in the study of various Utopian and Marxist texts and philosophies. While attending Harvard Summer School in 1986, he took a class in "Revolution & Society" and participated in various public participatory art projects in Harvard Square led by artist/writer/computer scientist Richard Gardner, who had lived for a time at the art commune outside Vienna founded by Actionist artist Otto Muehl. These two experiences and his later residency during his undergraduate years at Duke University in Epworth/SHARE (Student Housing for Academic and Residential Experimentation), fostered his commitment to the exploration and development of creative communities.
Christopher studied theatre, 20th century/post-colonial literature and literary theor at Duke University, primarily under professors Frank Lentricchia, Michael Moses, Thomas Ferraro and Jody McAuliffe. After a semester studying American Lit in the graduate English program at the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill, he returned to the theatre to play the role of the Policeman in Rodrigo Dorfman's production of Fassbinder's Blood on the Cat's Neck. He then appeared for four seasons with the Hip Pocket Theatre in productions at Duke University and at the Hip Pocket's idyllic Oak Acres Amphitheatre in Fort Worth, Texas, appearing in a number of world premieres including Dabloids by Leonid Tishkov and dogman by Lake Simons. His personal career highlight as an actor was creating the role of the Snoid in Robert Crumb's R. Crumb Comix III.
Since 1995 he has lived and worked in NYC where he has studied The Spiritual Psychology of Acting with John Osborne Hughes and improvisation with the late Gloria Maddox, who first introduced Christopher to the idea of undertaking a spiritual path. As a member of MadWomanoftheWoods Productions, he co-produced five Off Off Broadway productions and performed in and helped to create Antigone Through Time and An Absolute Mystery. Antigone Through Time was the first production of the New York International Fringe Festival to be reviewed by the New York Times. The show was created from the poems and stories of the many Greek women who were imprisoned, some for decades, and executed on secret island concentration camps by the Greek fascist government following WWII. MadWoman also presented a staged reading of Christopher's play American Spirits at the Miranda Theatre in 2000. With Lake Simons and Herald Lehmann, Christopher performed in and helped to create The Nose, Two and Two, and Imagining Cain in the American Living Room Series at HERE.
He studied dance for nine years at Dance Space Center with teachers such as Guido Tuveri, Jana Hicks, Rachel Feinerman, Diane McCarthy, Beth Goheen, and Sara Neece, and performed in several dance theatre works by Guido Tuveri, Mark Drahozal, Gitte Bastiansen, and Nana Masuda. He completed an intensive course in video filmmaking at New York Film Academy and worked at times as an event videographer, proofreader, and online producer.

I'm having similar problem. I fall asleep fine, but I wake up a LOT and it takes a while for me to fall back to sleep. I've done some reading recently about this and here's what I've learned (though, I've just started a few this week).
1. Excercise - this will not only help wear you out so you're tired, but will help regulate hormones, etc.
2. Drink warm milk. I haven't tried this one yet because it sounds gross to me, but warming milk releases tryptophan (spelling?). This is the same thing in turkey that makes you tired after a big Thanksgiving meal. Also, don't drink caffienne after early afternoon if you're drinking any at all.
3. If you're like me, then one of the reasons you're not sleeping is because you've got a million thoughts running through your head. A few years ago when I had this problem (no pregnancy then though) I would write down two worries, three "to-dos" for tomorrow and three "happy thoughts". I'd say a prayer about those worries and let God handle them for the evening. I'd stop obsessing over the "to-dos" that weren't getting done because I could just look at the book in the morning and make those top priority first thing. Then, as I tried to go to sleep I'd focus on the happy thoughts. Maybe cheesy to some, but it REALLY helped me then and I was also able to find patterns to things that worried me and start doing something about them. I should probably start this again!!
4. When all else fails, my doctor told me that Tylenol PM is safe to take. I've resorted to that a couple of times now...
If you hear of any better ways to make sleep come easier and more regularly, please pass it along!!

For a long time, I had difficulties separating calls and agendas. In one project I would have:
- Call Jim about stuff.
while, in another project I might have:
- Call Jim about other stuff.
A problem becomes apparent when I assign a start date to one of these tasks. I see the call task, but then not the other. I may forget to mention the other item as it is not appearing on the radar. Even if I do remember the other task, I would have to sift through the "Calls" list for Jim's name to make sure I said everything. This is hardly efficient.
An "Agenda : Jim" context is better, but still not great. It's still a context in the similar vein of "Calls". If one agenda item is dated and another is not, it is still lost in the midst of other tasks. I can open the side bar, select the "Agenda : Jim" context to see if there is anything else. But this is not that efficient, either.
The solution is one of those that took a while to stumble upon, but is rather a simple combination of the two:
- List all items which are to be discussed or otherwise with an Agenda context. They are agenda items after all.
- Keep "Call Jim" as a separate task with a Calls context. This task can then receive a start date, flag or whatever marker.
- To smooth the process, go to the context "Agenda : Jim", «Control-click» (Updated: Thanks, Lee!) and select "Copy as Link" and paste the link in the notes field of the call task.
Now, when the call task appears, I can select that link and have a list gathered from all projects of all the discussable tasks:

Wow, I can't believe it's been a year already! I've learned quite a bit, and met a TON of really awesome people through the Blog Azeroth blogging community. To everyone in that community, and my readers, thank you for making this first year amazing.
What have I learned in the last year?
- You can spend hours and days on a post and get no responses, where those posts you bang out in 10-15 minutes get the biggest response.
- Blogging is a thankless job overall, but when you do get a genuine response in comments or email, it really makes it worth it.
- Covering just hunter stuff gets really boring really fast, so if you try to do a very class-specific blog, don't be afraid to branch out a bit. Breaks up some of the monotony, but never lose sight of your original focus.
- Don't be afraid to cover thought provoking topics. Some of the best discussion has been had on controversial topics. (Like BM raiding, Real IDs on the forums, etc.)
If you're just getting started blogging, here are some tips I have for you:
- Be Yourself.
- Promote your blog on twitter. It really makes a big difference in readership.
- Find your voice. The more you write, the easier it will get.
- Drafts are a good way to remind yourself what articles you've thought of. I tend to have 4-5 always sitting there.
- Get involved in the blogging community! It really helped me figure out how I wanted to develop my blog.
What have I accomplished this year?
- Published on WoW Insider through the SEED program.
- Co-Hosted Episode 32 of the Hunting Party Podcast.
- Was a guest on Twisted Nether Blogcast (recorded just this last weekend, actually)
I really am looking forward to sharing Cataclysm through my perspective in the next year. Again, I thank you all for your support in the last year!

What Our Clients Say
Came here for the couples package for an anniversary treat with the hubby - It is a beautiful intimate setting and the treatments we had (massage and facials) were fabulous. Michelle and her staff go out of their way to make you feel spoiled and pampered. Our package was finished off with an afternoon tea which was divine :))) Well done Michelle and team - keep up the great work xx
We are both very, very busy people and so in need of some "me time", so off to Manor Grove Spa we went. The whole experience was brilliant. From the Welcome, through to the treatments. I was so relaxed, I nodded off! At the end of the Treatments, there was no rush to get us out of the door. I am more than happy to recommend Manor Grove Spa. A little Gem in Northamptonshire. Well done Michelle. We will be back very soon.
Following a neck, back and shoulder massage and facial this morning I felt compelled to write a review. Michelle was warm and welcoming and I was made to feel at ease upon arrival. The treatments felt wonderful and following my pamper we chatted a out products. I was so impressed with the results I bought a facial serum there and then. Surroundings are beautiful and classy. Thank you Manor Grove Spa. X
The Thai Stone Full body Massage was amazing. I have had many a hot stone massage in numerous places around the world but this Thai Stone version was just amazing / stood out. The setting in which you are located is beautiful and I love the whole ' treatments together' experience you offer. The four hour package which we purchased was brilliant and I have told all my work colleagues & friends.
Last Thursday was pure heavenly for me. From the moment of walking through your door the ambiance was wonderful and l was put at ease straight away. My massage was the best l have ever had. From the lovely smelling oils used, to dim lights and soft music. What more could you as for !! I left Manor Grove Spa feeling relaxed well looked after. I loved it that much that l booked another appointment in a couple of weeks time. Michelle is one in a million, thank goodness l have found her.
"Visited the Manor Grove Spa for the first time on Saturday more or less on a whim. Booked the Thai Hot Stone Massage which was also a first. Very enjoyable experience. Michelle did a very thorough firm massage which really did sort out the knots in my shoulders, the hot stones then produced a wonderful feeling of relaxation, it was very difficult to get up and leave at the end. Looking forward to visiting again when I have time."
Following my recent visit to Manor Grove Spa I just wanted to congratulate you Michelle on what a fabulous and pleasurable experience I had. The barn is just beautiful and as soon as I walked in the door I immediately felt warm and luxurious and couldn't wait for my decadent two hour treatment. I particularly liked the wide treatment beds as I've been to lots of spas where the treatment beds are too narrow and hard. Manor Grove Spa has two treatment beds offering the opportunity of sharing the treatments with a friend so I invited my girlfriend to experience this amazing morning with me following post Christmas blues. The products are gorgeous and my oxygen facial certainly made me look and feel years younger, I was even complimented by several friends following my treatment. Michelle's massage technique was firm and using the hot stones helped relieve the tension in my neck, shoulders and back. All in all a decadent two hours spent with Michelle. I would thoroughly recommend visiting Manor Grove Spa. Michelle's warm, welcoming, relaxing and utterly luxurious spa is a pleasure and I look forward to every time I'm able to visit.
Michelle Walkes, is the only person in the United Kingdom who is qualified in in both Tai Stone Massage and Tai Oil Massage. She was trained in these treatments to a very high standard in Beijing, China. She has been harmonising clients with these healing techniques for almost 10 years.

Submit your question below about any cosmetic procedure to be considered for posting with an answer from one of our board-certified plastic surgeons.
If your question is about the cost of a procedure, click here. For referral to a qualified surgeon in your area, see find a surgeon.
Note: ASAPS cannot give advice about specific medical problems nor should answers provided by responding surgeons be substituted for a complete medical history, work-up and an in-personal medical/surgical consultation. Sorry we can't answer all questions. We try to select questions that have the widest general interest.
When doing a rhinoplasty, how do you determine the correct shape of the nose?
This is a great question. The decisions associated with the surgery of Rhinoplasty have been well addressed for many hundreds of years. Some practitioners utilize the proportion of the patient's face, others use mathematical formulas and still others base their decisions upon analysis of thousands of patient groups divided up by ethnicity and culture. Many surgeons combine parts of these decision trees in the analysis and performance of Rhinoplasty.
Perhaps a better question is how do I know that my surgeon knows what he is doing when he performs my Rhinoplasty surgery? First, make sure your surgeon has hospital privileges to perform the surgery you desire. This will hopefully insure he has the training, background, certification and experience to perform the procedure you desire. Second, request to see the surgeon's pre and post operative photographs of their actual patients who have had Rhinoplasty surgery. You do not want to see patients pulled from a national databank of their surgeon's results. Lastly, for your own safety, make sure the facility where you have your procedure done is accredited.
Members of ASAPS are the experts in Aesthetic or Cosmetic Surgery. They train for many years to perform the Art of Aesthetic Surgery and are required by strict ethical guidelines to follow the requirements of practice I have listed above. Rhinoplasty is an integral part of their profession. Consider giving a member of ASAPS a call about your cosmetic concerns.
Gary R. Culbertson, MD, FACS
The "correct shape" used to depend on aesthetic norms and Renaissance ideals of beauty. These ideas are falling away as it becomes obvious that many patients do not have noses that will look right if those standards are followed.
It is much more important to me what the patient wants. Are there familial, ethnic, or personal characteristics that must be preserved? Is there symmetry? Is the airway optimal? Can nasal proportion be better? Does the patient want more angularity in the nose or less?
All of these answers must be part of any preoperative discussion between patient and surgeon.
Determining the Correct Shape of the Nose – Obviously the entire operative procedure is based on analyzing the nose pre-operatively to determine how one's nose should be sculpted to match the nose to the face so that it does not look unnatural long-term. This really requires expertise in rhinoplasty.

WHY WE LOVE IT: Since red is a bold contrast to blue, this striking shade makes blue eyes really pop. It also creates a beautiful backdrop for fair skin.
WORKS BEST FOR: Blondes are the best candidates for going red because the dye penetrates the cuticle easier than on dark strands. Cunningham, who also works with Ali Larter, explains, "Dark hair color has to get stripped away with peroxide or ammonia before you can apply the red dye." Red hair also tends to be most flattering on light, almost milky complexions.
MAKE IT YOUR OWN: If you have fair skin, you can pull off any red, from strawberry blond to brick. Darker skin tones look less natural in lighter shades of red; instead, choose a deeper hue in the red spectrum as a subtle highlight in dark hair.
STYLIST TIP: A sulfate-free shampoo strips less pigment, so color lasts longer.Read MoreLess

Dominican College alumni are also eligible to borrow books. Application forms for alumni are available at the Circulation desk. A valid form of identification is required before applications can be processed.
Borrowers will be held responsible for all materials checked out on their DC 1 Card. A driver's license cannot be substituted for the DC 1 Card.

The student's loan period for books is three weeks (21) days, with one (1) renewal of three weeks (21) days.
Students can renew books once. Items can be renewed in person at the Circulation Desk and online. To renew library materials online, select My Account on the Sullivan Library Card Catalog Web page.

To complete the renewal procedure you must have a bar-coded Dominican College ID Card and an assigned four digits pin number (obtained from the Library's Circulation Desk). After one (1) renewal, students must return the books to the Library. Overdue books, books for which there are outstanding Holds (i.e., items requested by other patrons) and those that have reached the renewal limit cannot be renewed.
Faculty, Administrators and Staff may check out an unlimited number of books for the semester. Faculty will receive recall notices for items requested by other users or for reserve and must return these materials by the date indicated on the recall notice.
A cumulative, maximum of thirty (30) books can be checked out at any given time. No more than five books, on any one subject, will be allowed to be checked out at one time.
Where to Return Checked Out materials
Materials that have been checked out can be returned either to the circulation Desk or place in the Book Drop located just outside the main entrance to the Library.
Print Reserves
Reserves are course related materials that are set apart from the rest of the Library's collection at the request of faculty for the exclusive use of Dominican students enrolled in specific courses.
The Print Reserves collection is located behind the Circulation Desk. Students can locate desired materials by providing the circulation desk staff the Instructor's name, course name and number.

Fines and Fees for Overdue Items
Overdue Fines
Sullivan Library borrowers are subject to the loan and fine policies. All Library circulating materials are electronically assigned a due date at the time of check-out. Borrowers are expected to return materials on or before the assigned due date. Materials kept beyond their assigned due date are electronically fined. Dominican College students who have more than $5.00 in fines will be restricted from borrowing material from the Sullivan Library.
Notices for overdue materials are sent as a courtesy and failure to get one does not relieve a borrower from the responsibility of returning the overdue materials.
At the end of each semester the Library will report students with outstanding unpaid fines and/or books that are overdue and have not been returned, to the College's Registrar. The Registrar will withhold diplomas and transcripts until said fines are paid in full and/or overdues book(s) are returned or appropriate replacement payments have been made to the Library.

Recalled Fines
Borrowers who fail to return materials which have been recalled by the date indicated on the recall notice will be fined $1.00 a day.
Lost Item Fine
Borrowers will be charged a lost item and processing fee for lost or stolen library materials. Borrowers have the option of providing a new, unused replacement copy with the same International Standard Book Number (ISBN) or paying the cost of the replacement copy plus a $15.00 replacement service charge. If a current replacement cost cannot be determined then a flat rate of $50.00 will be charged, plus a $15.00 service charge. Unpaid library obligations will be referred to the Registrar Office, which may result in the inability to register for classes, the withholding of transcripts and/or diploma.
Holds can be placed on available materials and on items currently checked out to other patrons at the Circulation Desk or online. For materials checked out you will be notified when it has been returned. The material will be kept on the "hold" shelf for you at the circulation desk. You will have up to ten days to pick it up, after which they will be returned to the collection.
Holds apply only to general circulating books and not to course reserve items.

Borrowers may be charged overdue fines, processing fees, and lost book charges by the Sullivan Library for failure to return or renew material by the due date.
Recalled Materials
All materials checked out are subject to recall after 14 days. The due date on a recalled item will be electronically changed to reflect the new due date. You will be notified via e-mail of any changes. Borrowers who fail to return materials which have been recalled by the date indicated on the recall notice will be fined $1.00 a day.
The library will not place "recalls" for affiliated borrowers on materials loaned to Dominican students, faculty, or staff.

My sister, Beth, heard about an idea from her coworker to plan a surprise-filled day centered around a surprise theme for your family. So she told us (my mom, and Kayleigh, and me) to have $12 for her and to dress sort of nice and to be at her house around 12:30 (and […]
Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun – Pink Floyd Tribute Band

Proof Dayton Community is the Best Ever
By now, a lot of people know what happened at Sidebar, but to recap: The owner had been bouncing checks to his employees and then skipped town, moving out of the space in the dark of night. This reprehensible behavior not only shamed many proud fans of Dayton, it also left a crowd of wonderful […]

My Weekend Photo Summary
I'm sorry, I know it's lazy but I just have so much I want to show you! So here is my weekend in (unedited) photos:
Ok, so we start with Wake Up Mordecai at South Park Tavern. It was a lot of fun and the food was, as always, amazing.
Welcome!I love Dayton, I've lived here for all of my 27 years and don't plan on settling anywhere else. I started this blog as a way to showcase the best of Dayton (as seen through my perspective) and also to share some of the things that occupy space in my mind, namely beauty, home decor, quotes, and various aspects of my life.

They said, "Let us win."
John McCain in Friday night's debate:
I'd like to tell you, two Fourths of July ago I was in Baghdad. General Petraeus invited Senator Lindsey Graham and me to attend a ceremony where 688 brave young Americans, whose enlistment had expired, were reenlisting to stay and fight for Iraqi freedom and American freedom.
I was honored to be there. I was honored to speak to those troops. And you know, afterwards, we spent a lot of time with them. And you know what they said to us? They said, let us win. They said, let us win. We don't want our kids coming back here.
And this strategy, and this general, they are winning.
I'm kind of disturbed by McCain's use of some troops' desire to stay and continue to fight as an argument for having them stay and continue to fight. He appears to be holding them up here as the experts. After all, if the people on the ground doing the actual fighting think we can win, why would we not let them do it?
The crucial point I think he's missing is that they're experts at fighting wars, given that there's a war to be fought. They're not experts at deciding when a war should be continued or not. They're not experts at deciding when a war should be started or not. The whole point of having civilian control of the military is to have the President and Congress–people who should ideally be able to take a larger strategic view–look at a situation and decide whether war is even the best option. If they decide it is, then the military people–the experts in implementation–are called on to apply their expertise in deciding how the war should be fought. But the decision about whether a war should be started or continued should not be up to them. The United States is not a country run by its military.
To be fair, I don't know that McCain intended for this quoting of troops who want to stay in Iraq to constitute an argument. I should probably take it as just another attempt to paint himself as pro-military and Obama as anti-military. "He won't let the troops stay and fight, even when they want to." But the way he put it sure sounds like an argument: The troops want to stay. Therefore they should be allowed to stay. So if it is an argument, I just wanted to point out that I think it's a very bad one.

This is a good point. I found the following comment from McCain similarly disturbing:
And I'll tell you, I had a town hall meeting in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, and a woman stood up and she said, "Senator McCain, I want you to do me the honor of wearing a bracelet with my son's name on it."
He was 22 years old and he was killed in combat outside of Baghdad, Matthew Stanley, before Christmas last year. This was last August, a year ago. And I said, "I will — I will wear his bracelet with honor."
And this was August, a year ago. And then she said, "But, Senator McCain, I want you to do everything — promise me one thing, that you'll do everything in your power to make sure that my son's death was not in vain."
This sounds like a classic case of cognitive dissonance: we've already invested so intensely in this war that we can't allow ourselves to cut our losses–we have to continue fighting as a way of reassuring ourselves that what was an obvious blunder was somehow worth it, "not in vain." More people have to die in order to construct a meaningful narrative out of the deaths that have already occurred, as though we're sending soldiers off to combat our own discomfort and inability to find meaning in the situation.
Obama of course responded that he had a bracelet from another mother of another dead soldier on the other side of the fence, and parallel arguments to McCain's above could also be made by invoking soldiers who have returned from Iraq to form pacifist organizations ("if even they think we should stop then we should stop").
McCain also uses terms like "dishonor" when talking about the war that I find troubling: if the concern about dishonor centers on the view of the rest of the world, as far as I can tell, it's way too late–the war to save face has long since been irreparably lost. And if the concern about dishonor stems from our own view of our troops, surely there are ways we can honor individuals' willingness to sacrifice for their country besides throwing resources at an absurd, exorbitant, and seemingly doomed enterprise.
There is no "winning" that war. It was an immoral invasion to begin with, and there is no victory to be had.
My brother served in Iraq, and I am an Army veteran, so I do not speak as a weirdo pacifist.
But Iraq was a stupid distraction from the war on terror.
Pacifists are not weirdos. In fact, the pacifists were correct about the war in Iraq, and the pro-war folks were the weirdos.
McCain was in Baghdad in July 2007, here is an August 2007 New York Times op-ed piece
with soldiers who oppose the war:
To believe that Americans, with an occupying force that long ago outlived its reluctant welcome, can win over a recalcitrant local population and win this counterinsurgency is far-fetched. As responsible infantrymen and noncommissioned officers with the 82nd Airborne Division soon heading back home, we are skeptical of recent press coverage portraying the conflict as increasingly manageable and feel it has neglected the mounting civil, political and social unrest we see every day.
In short, we operate in a bewildering context of determined enemies and questionable allies, one where the balance of forces on the ground remains entirely unclear.
Promise me one thing, that you'll do everything in your power to make sure that my son's death was not in vain.
911 which had nothing to do with Iraq, and of course weapons of mass destruction which did not exist were used to justify the Iraq invasion. Part of the underlying logic was; make sure our 911 deaths were not in vain. But this logic is faulty and always will be, more American's have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan than we lost in 911. The faulty logic continues probably deliberately by appealing to our empathy for this woman's loss as an argument to continue the war. War is big profitable business and the hawks who benefit and their prostitutes will do and say just about anything to start one and keep it going.
The Lord is clear in his direction to us. D&C 98:16 Therefore, renounce war and proclaim peace, and seek diligently to turn the hearts of the children to their fathers, and the hearts of the fathers to the children. Renounce war and proclaim peace. Do your genealogy and go to the temple.
Very interesting observations, Ziff. The question of whether a war is winnable and under what circumstances reminds me of this recent article about McCain's Vietnam experiences and his views of Vietnam and Iraq.
By a raise of hands who thinks that we should continue the war in Iraq and Afghanistan?
Are you willing to back up your beliefs with action? Sell all you have, buy a gun and head over there.
Oh, you meant the royal we. You want agents of the government to hold a gun to my head and extract resources to pay for these mercenaries?
That's why it unwise for military or civilians to decide when to start a war – because they will do it with other people's lives and money.
Let's move congress (and their families) to Iraq (outside the green zone) and see how fast this immoral war comes to an end.
Thank you, Ziff, for your very wise words. Like Eve, I am reminded of the very informative article in the current issue of the Atlantic Monthly. I am not anti-military, but it is mainly because of McCain's military background and ideology that I will NOT be voting for him. The phrase "win the war" (at least in the case of this war) is an oxymoron.
Perhaps someone (who, me?) should mention that the only reason that it appears that the surge is "winning" (that doesn't quite work in English, but you get the drift) is that Muqta al Sadr stood down the Madhi Army right about the same time the "surge" started up. That is, the guys in Iraq who were firing at us, they stopped firing at us because their boss asked them to. Plus the Iraquis all on their own got tired of the Saudis (al quaeda in Iraq) indiscriminately blowing up other Iraquis and took things into their own hands. With or rather myopic view, we may think the surge had something to do with it, but it didn't.
djinn, good question of whether the surge was the reason the central government decided to push its own troops into combat or not, though those successes and other things have made a difference.
Whether or not the surge works doesn't change the initial issues, though it does affect what we do now that we are in the mess.
While the war is costly, unpopular, unnecessary, and altogether bad, spare us the tax-protestor/libertarian "taxes = gun to my head." Besides being a bad argument, it isn't even applicable: the government has funded the war through borrowing, not tax increases (and, in fact, has drastically and irresponsibly lowered taxes). That would seem to be the ideal way to fund a war for those who oppose taxation, no?
The determination as to whether or not the death of a soldier in a war is "in vain" or not has nothing to do with a resulting victory or defeat. It's entirely possible that a nation who goes to war purely as a defensive move could be overrun by the nation launching the offensive, and none of the lives lost on the defensive end will have been "in vain". The whole determination for whether or not any given death is "in vain" is determined by the justice (or lack thereof) of the cause for the fighting.
Were we really justified in pre-emptively attacking Iraq? If not, then (sorry to say) all of the lives lost on our side heretofore have been "in vain". Whether we achive what some would call "victory" or not has nothing to do with it and won't change that. Victory doesn't serve as justification for anything.
Victory is nice for the victors in that it allows them to write the history books and assume Winston Smith's place in society. But it doesn't mean they were necessarily right.
Please forgive the rather inexcusable typos in my last post.
That being said, I'd just like to answer Ed42, who conflates Iraq with Afghanistan. They are different wars. They are a long away from each other. They are being fought against different people. It is quite possible to be for our efforts in Afghanistan and vehemently against whatever it is that we're doing in Iraq. Me, case in point. Further, one of the unforgivable side-effects of the "surge" was that we moved troops from where they actually made a difference (Afghanistan) to where they were nothing other than a hemisphere-away political theater.
Afghanistan YES, Iraq No No No No No
Dear Mr. Stephen M (Ethesis) Muqta Al Sadr is gunning for the history books. He also is an Iraqi nationalist who never left (for Iran) during the bad Hussein days that killed his father. which can't be said of the current Iraqi prime minister. I was thrilled when I heard that he stood down the Mahdi army, (fewer American deaths, fewer Iraqi deaths) but please please please don't confuse that with something that we did. Which was what? Show up after significant areas of Bagdad had already been ethnically cleansed (i.e. Sunnis panically rushing to Sunni enclaves, Shi'a's the same), and declare victory? C'mon.
djinnn, so, your conclusion is that the troop surge is unrelated to the Central Government's actions. May be.
I'm not calling it a victory either.
Though Al Sadr did leave for Iran after things got hot for him following his murder of another Shia cleric, and as far as can be determined, is still in Iran.
On the main point of the essay They're not experts at deciding when a war should be continued or not. They're not experts at deciding when a war should be started or not. the author makes a good point.
Part of good troops is a desire to fight to win, so that once they are committed to a battle by their commanders, they will strive. That actually gets in the way of being able to make a good judgment on whether or not they should be fighting.
Which leads to bad arguments, as noted.
As a final note, to djinnn, my thought is that a number of groups have finally realized they can't win militarily and that all they were accomplishing was getting killed (while killing others, but by no means killing enough of their enemies to justify the cost). American losses have been less than the incidental deaths in New York or Chicago.
Except for the hideous moral and financial cost. I do consider, personally, the invasion of Iraq to be a tipping point that made the current financial crisis what it is, and that very well may cause even worse for the future. I hope not, but it appears to be happening.

Our entire experience at the Inn at Sonoma was great! Location off the square, but just by a few blocks, was preferred and made for a very quiet environment and an easy walk to dining. Breakfasts were good and the entire staff could not have been more hospitable. Our room was comfortable and well appointed. We will definitely return!

In October I stayed at the Four Sisters Inn at Sonoma for one night. On arrival I was taken by how beautiful the b&b was. The staff were very friendly and accommodating and gave us some great recommendations on things to do in the town. Our room was fabulous! We were coming to the end of our trip and it was a lovely bit of luxury before our flight back to England. The bed was heavenly, the bathroom was lovely and spacious and overall it was a very relaxing space in which to enjoy a lovely bottle of pinot noir and complimentary cookies. Breakfast in the morning was very nice and overall I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. When I come back to Sonoma I will definitely be booking into the Four Sisters Inn. Thank you!

The Inn at Sonoma is perfectly located just a block from the square. It was really convenient to walk over to the square to visit the tasting rooms and for dinner. The service at the inn was outstanding. Robert assisted us with checking in and was an absolute delight. We really loved chatting with him throughout our weekend stay. The breakfast in the morning was delicious - a perfect way to start the day before visiting several wineries. The afternoon wine and cheese reception was also very nice. We enjoyed chatting with the staff and the other guests. Highly recommend! We will definitely stay here again on our next trip back to Sonoma.

What could have been a terrible end to a great vacation was saved by Charlene. We were not comfortable in the first room we were put in.so without hesitation she was able to move us into a different room that was perfect for us. She even followed us to the first room and helped us move our bags. She was so friendly and accommodating. We were also treated well by everyone we encountered. Thank you to the entire staff!

We had stayed at a Four Sisters Inn before and knew what to expect; it didn't disappoint and met our high expectations for the Inn. The staff were effusive and very helpful. Great deluxe king room and bed; good bathroom; the fire is nice just wish we had stayed longer to enjoy it more. The wine and nibbles in the evening were welcome after a long day travelling. We also liked the balcony and hot tub.

The Inn at Sonoma is a real gem. The Vintner's king spa room is well appointed, extremely clean and the newest addition to the Inn. The complimentary morning breakfast and early evening appetizers and wine are a real treat and is a wonderful way to start your morning and end your day. The location is perfect with just a short 1-2 block walk to the main square in Sonoma where you can find boutique shops and dining. The staff at the Inn provides outstanding hospitality and extremely helpful with suggestions for the area. I wouldn't stay anywhere else in Sonoma,

My husband and I stayed here for our 10-year wedding anniversary. We had a wonderful time. Out deluxe king room was very clean, the bed was super comfortable, and the inn was nice and quiet. Breakfast every morning was delicious, usually some type of hot egg dish, pancakes, coffee cake, fruit, yogurt, toast with jam. I appreciate the to-go cups that were available with the coffee. The staff was very friendly. Check with them before heading out for wine tastings because they have some tasting coupons that you can take with you. When we come back to Sonoma we will definitely stay here again.

Staff was very helpful with restaurant suggestions and bikes. Loved the wine and cheese in the reception area - great for meeting other guests and hearing about their discoveries in Sonoma and Napa. Short walk to the main square of Sonoma. Our room was not in the main building but was lovely and very private.

This inn is perfect walking distance to the square and all the shops in downtown Sonoma...Unfortunately we were staying here during the earthquake that happened in August....There was no electricity after the quake, no flashlights or lighting of any kind available. We called the number posted on the door for the innkeeper and waited for someone to show up....alarms were blaring.....it was a stressful time...we finally gave up, packed using our cells phones as flashlights and left. Realizing they have no control over mother nature, but sure would have been nice to at least have a flashlight and have someone show up.....

Easy to walk to the square and several great restaurants. The breakfast in the morning and the wine and cheese in the afternoon were all top notch! When I booked the room, I expected the breakfast to be pastries out of packages, but instead it was a nice spread of healthy and homemade options, also great coffee!

3,8 su agosto 13, 2014
The room was comfortable, the staff was very nice and the breakfast was super yummy, but I can't say this is a real value-for-money place. It felt like we paid about $100 more for the room than it should have reasonably cost. Perhaps this is just the Napa-Sonoma effect and proximity to the Bay Area, but I would have been much happier with a lower rate given the few amenities of the hotel (no fitness room, small hot tub, etc.) Other hotels in the area are also quite expensive so for cheaper rates you might need to find another area to stay!

The Inn was wonderful. We only stayed for one night but we're able to enjoy the fresh cookies, delicious breakfast and lovely cheese and veggie spread with wine in the evening. The room was beautiful and spacious and the bath tub was amazing. We loved lounging in the comfy robes in our room and spending time on the outside porch. The staff was friendly and provided lots of wine tasting coupons and suggestions. I would definitely return.

There are so many wonderful things to do and see in the Sonoma area. Finding a reasonably priced place to stay, with exceptional amenities can be an interesting challenge. The Inn at Sonoma exceeded our expectations. We needed a hotel within walking distance of our event and one that offered a relaxing place to unwind afterwards. Fresh cookies, wine, cheese, fruit and the breakfast were the best surprises. This, and the welcoming and helpful staff has made this our new favorite place to stay when visiting the area.

The Inn is walking distance to all of the great restaurants and shops on the square in the town of Sonoma but tucked away in a little court off the main street. It is very clean with beautiful accommodations. The lobby is very welcoming with a great breakfast and afternoon treats. The hotel staff was very friendly and thoughtful. I will be back.

Based on the photos and reviews we were expecting a nicer place - aka bigger and more luxurious than the hotel was. But, it was fine. Our room was called a Deluxe King and I was under the impression we would have a balcony. Instead we had one window that faced the street. If a balcony is important to you be sure you ask for one. The breakfast was wonderful!! The food was quite tasty and abundant. The staff were very helpful and attentive. The other plus was the location - it was only two blocks from the main square.

We are from Rhode Island and planned to be in San Francisco for 12 days with a short side trip to Sonoma. We had difficulty finding a place to stay as everyone seemed to be booked. My daughter in law who lives in San Francisco found this inn. Much more than we expected: off the beaten path, yet quite close to the center of town. Our room was large, modern,everything you could want. The added feature of a full delicious breakfast and evening wine and fruit & cheese put us over the top. Very pleasantly surprised and completely satisfied. We will stay again.

My husband and I came here for a relaxing night away and to celebrate his 40th birthday. The location is excellent, in walking distance to the square. Check in was easy but a little disappointed that the young man at the desk did not acknowledge we were celebrating a birthday. However there were balloons in the room and as we checked out it was finally noted. The room was very clean, liked the robes and the big tub. We stayed in the Vintners cottage which was not as a desirable. Being on the ground floor, we were surrounded by parking lot, not very romantic. However, we still had a great night and would definitely stay here again.

The Inn at Sonoma staff is extremely welcoming and helpful. Location can't be beat - you can walk to any spot in Sonoma square. The rooms are small and not all have jet tubs so be sure to request that if you want one. Breakfast was great too. All around, a great wine country escape.

Wonderful staff, location, rooms, breakfast, everything was very well done

We stayed here after a wine tour in Sonoma. It seems more like a small inn that a B&B. They did serve breakfast, but it was not as gourmet as some other bed and breakfasts. The room was good size and we had a fireplace which was nice.

Great location. Walkable to many restaurants and stores. Discount coupons for wine tasting. Great breakfast and wine in the afternoon. Knowledgeable staff. Great place for your wine country HQ. We'll be back.

Room was great. Loved the fireplace. Bed very comfortable. We're glad we used the bicycles and went on a lovely ride in the morning on the bike trail. Will most definitely return to the Inn in the future.

It was a delightful B&B with a very comfortable quiet room and delicious breakfast. It is close to town and even in the rain close to many wonderful restaurants.

We arrived after 9 PM and the after hours system to pick up our key worked well. Every daily breakfast was better that the last. The desk staff was helpful in detailing our winery tours complete with 2 for 1 tasting coupons. We certainly would recommend staying at the Inn at Sonoma.

The Inn at Sonoma was clean, comfortable, and perfectly located within walking distance of everything in Sonoma! The staff were exceptionally friendly & helpful, and my whole visit exceeded my expectations. I would definitely recommend it to a friend. My favorite part? The rooftop hot tub!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Inn at Sonoma. Staff were very attentive, courteous and helpful. The room exceeded our expectations, was quiet, roomy, clean and comfortable. The food was more than adequate. It was in close walking distance to all of the town. I would recommend this B&B to anyone who wants a great stay in Sonoma. A. Larsen

Rooms were lovely and very clean, service was extremely friendly. We especially enjoyed the cookies and the roof top hot tub! Lovely stay!
2,2 su luglio 27, 2009
The rooms here are very average and small and not worth the $299 rack rate for a weekend. TV is old and small. No pillowtop mattress, hot tub it too hot and jets are not allowed after 9:00 pm or before 9:00 am. Breakfast is good, location is good. Some staff can be unhelpful.

Not really a bed and Breakfast. But nice, clean and better than most hotels..Would stay again...Also reasonable.

We stayed here on our honeymoon. It is safe, very clean, and very close to downtown/the square. Would highly recommend this for any value concious traveler!

Recently spent three nights at the Inn and very much enjpyed the stay. Warm welcome and warm cookies on your arrival and a very comfortable room.Loved having the fireplace in room to take the chill out in the evenings. Very close to downtown plaza and easy walking distances to shops and resturants. We fell in love with the bear in our room and decided to adopt him and take him home with us as a reminder of our lovely visit to the area.
5 su gennaio 06, 2007
We booked this inn the day we were arriving and was offered a $20 discount. When arrived, we were delighted by the warm greeting. The inn is not too big but big enough for a short visit. The rooms are super clean and feels luxurious for the price. The buffet breakfast is really good. Afternoon snack and wine/soda are offered free. The homemade cookies in the cookie jar is full all day for you to take whenever. Loved staying at this inn. Highly recommended.

Biology 4890 Poster Session Instructions
The Fall 2010 Poster Session will be on FRIDAY DECEMBER 3, 2010, 11 AM – 12:15 PM.
Session will be held in Russell Union Room 2048.
Some Guidelines for your presentations are below.
Please direct questions to either Dr. Cohen or Dr. Lewis or your research advisor.
Students are requested to use one of the two poster formats prepared by the Seminar Committee. Two easy-to-fill in, already formatted, examples are provided via the Biology web page under "Research Opportunities".
Students should place their content in one of the files provided and click 'Save As' and name the file beginning with their last name. The blue boxes in the example are graphics areas (sizes) and should be deleted; the student's graphics should fit in this sized space in those locations.
Printing: Instructions to follow soon, but the deadline for file submission in fall semesters will likely be just prior to the Thanksgiving Holiday break.
Exceptions: We would like these guidelines to be respected as much as possible. Exceptions can be made for posters that the students have already presented or will be presenting in a conference. In this case, students should indicate the meeting name, dates, and venue on an 8.5 x 11 in sheet of paper beside the poster.
Size: It is strongly recommended that you use the available formats created in Power Point to ensure that the poster has a vertical page orientation and that its size is 24x36 inches. By simply adding your content to the available Power Point files, you will ensure that your poster matches the format and size of one of the examples.
To set up custom sizes in Power Point, go to FILE, select PAGE SETUP, scroll down to "custom", set width to 24 in and height to 36 in. Verify that the "slide orientation" is vertical by clicking on the corresponding image. Click OK.
The ideal poster should be able to be read easily by a person standing ~ 5 feet away. You must use either Arial or Palatino fonts. You must leave at least a 1.5 in margin around contents of the poster. Avoid colors that make reading the text or understanding the graphs difficult (e.g. green writing on red background, etc.). We recommend black text on white background. Do not crowd text boxes. Leave spaces between bulleted paragraphs.
TITLE box:
INTRODUCTION box: Text size no smaller than 24 points.
METHODS box: Text no smaller than 24 points.
RESULT box(es): Text no smaller than 24 points.
CONCLUSION box: Text no smaller than 24 points
LITERATURE CITED box: In-text citations should be numbers in parentheses: do not write (Jackson et al., 1992) in the text, but refer to the corresponding number in the alphabetical reference list (e.g. "...photosynthesis declined. (3)" Reference 3 would be Jackson et al., 1992). Reference list: Text no smaller than 12-14. No more than five, numbered references listed in the order in which they are cited
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS box: Text no smaller than 12-14

Last week marked the return of Laura Ramirez (J.J.'s Lone Daughter Ranch in Riverside County) to the Santa Monica and Hollywood markets after her late-summer hiatus. She brings fully ripe Hachiya persimmons, the oblong type you can only consume when they're utterly soft and jammy. Their spicy, deep-orange flesh is a perfect reminder of right where we are in the season. We've been seeing firm, shiny, unripe hachiyas for several weeks now, ones we have to nurture on our kitchen counter or flash freeze to speed up the ripening process, but now that we're far enough into fall, farmers are beginning to carefully transport the translucent sweet treats ready for eating with a spoon or for autumn puddings.
Laura's also got pink and red pomegranates, but she is still pretty much in between seasons on citrus and avocados. Yup, those fruits we think of as year-round are in transition right now. Laura does have some unusual Mexican-type small avocados with edible (!) purply-black skin and a rich oil content. They look a bit like little eggplants. This variety has an equally unusual name: Walter Hole.
Also making his seasonal return to the market is California macadamia nut grower Jim Russell, showcasing his new harvest nuts from Fallbrook. New season Cal macs are sweet and crunchy, with undertones of coconut. Our California varieties have more sugar and less oil than Hawaiian macs and are best enjoyed raw rather than roasted. Jim only sells bi-weekly at the Wednesday Santa Monica market, but he does a brisk mail-order business: email@example.com.
