Church pig-pickin' to benefit cancer patient
Faith Baptist Church will come to the aid of one of its own this weekend.
The church will host a pig-pickin', auction and bluegrass concert Saturday to raise money for church member Jeremy Moorefield, who has been battling cancer since the summer of 2011.
"I first had it in my jaw two year ago, and this is the third time I've had it," says Jeremy, 31, of Sophia. "It's a bone cancer, and it's very painful. It's also a fast-growing disease — it's very aggressive — so we're really having to trust in the Lord."
Jeremy worries for his wife, Kelly, and his 8-year-old daughter, Hannah.
"I think it's been harder on my family than on me," he says. "This has made my faith a lot stronger."
Jeremy has been undergoing chemotherapy and likely will need radiation treatment as well, he says. As with most chemo patients, the treatments sap him of his energy and strength, making it impossible for him to work.
That's why the church decided to host the fundraiser for the Moorefields — to raise money that will help with the family's mounting medical expenses.
The fundraiser will include a pig-pickin' with barbecue and all the fixin's, with plates selling for $8 apiece; a silent auction; and a bluegrass concert featuring the Snyder Family Band from Lexington.
"This means the world to us," Jeremy says. "We appreciate everything that everybody has done for us."

Want to go?
A fundraiser benefiting the Jeremy Moorefield family will be held Saturday, from 3 to 7 p.m., at Faith Baptist Church, 5744 Mendenhall Road, Trinity.
The event will include a barbecue pig-pickin' ($8 per plate) from 3 to 6 p.m., a silent auction from 3 to 6 p.m., and a bluegrass concert featuring the Snyder Family Band at 6 p.m.
Proceeds will go to the family of Jeremy Moorefield to assist with medical expenses.

Contract With A Conscience
Sustainability is the word I hear most often these days when people talk about trends in landscaping and landscape maintenance. Sustainability can be defined as "of, relating to, or being a method of harvesting or using a resource so that the resource is not depleted or permanently damaged." Is this a new concept? Hardly. This proactive concept has been taught to children from ecology books that warned, "If we don't do 'A', then 'B' will occur, and 'B' is a … Continue reading
Garden Fun
We still have flakes of snow in the air here on the shores of Lake Erie, but we have seen just enough spikes in temperature and breaks in the clouds to get me and my three youngest daughters excited about this summer's backyard garden.

Build It Better
Many outdoor spaces are benefiting from striking paver, stone, and brick designs made possible thanks to the creativity of designers and manufacturers. Across the nation, these new ideas create that "wow" factor clients want, without breaking the bank. Whether rough and rugged or refined and elegant, pavers, stone, and brick offer a unique combination of natural beauty and historic style few other building materials can match. Hardscapes built from these materials seem like a more natural part of the environment, … Continue reading
The Path To Profitability
Like many disciplines within the design and planning realm, landscape architecture is starting to rebound after several stagnant years. The recession of 2009 and the subsequent halting recovery were tough on most architectural/engineering (A/E) firms, but it looks like the profession is starting to see growth again. In fact, many landscape architects believe the industry's recovery will be more rapid than other A/E disciplines. One of the driving forces of the nation's recovery from "The Great Recession" was a renewed … Continue reading

Using Storage Provisioning Option (SPO) backup device with Granular Restore Technology (GRT) in Backup Exec 12.5
|Created: 2009-01-25
|Updated: 2013-11-22
|Article URL http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH69089
Using Storage Provisioning Option (SPO) backup device with Granular Restore Technology (GRT) in Backup Exec 12.5
Backup Exec (BE) allows SPO Virtual disk(s) to be used for backups of all types. It is important to understand how GRT backups and restores will differ from backups and restores using standard hard drives.
*Note: The following is for Backup Exec 12.5 and the usage of SPO. In Backup Exec 2010 the SPO usage is changed to respond.
- Any GRT backup to a SPO device will create BKF files instead of IMG folders.
- This behavior affects all of the Backup Exec GRT enabled agents: (For more information about GRT and the individual agents see Related Documents).
- Active Directory Recovery Agent
- Agent for Microsoft Exchange Server
- Agent for Microsoft Virtual Server
- Agent for Microsoft SharePoint
- Agent for VMWare Virtual Infrastructure
At the time of GRT restore from a GRT backup set on an SPO device for any of the GRT enabled agents, there will be a requirement to provide a staging location for the GRT restore operation. For an Exchange Database GRT backup, only the granular restore data for Mailboxes will be visible in the Restore Selections. Due to MAPI limitations the Public Folder GRT information will not be visible. An Exchange GRT backup for a Public Folder Store must be written to a traditional Backup to disk (B2D) device to display granular restore data. An Exchange GRT Incremental Policy must be written to a traditional B2D device also.

There was a time, not too long ago, when the typewriter and notebook ruled, and the computer as an everyday tool was simply a vision. Revolution in the Valley traces this vision back to its earliest roots: the hallways and backrooms of Apple, where the groundbreaking Macintosh computer was born. The book traces the development of the Macintosh, from its inception as an underground skunkworks project in 1979 to its triumphant introduction in 1984 and beyond.

The story focuses around a Scottish Princess Merida as she tries to change her fate. She's old enough to be married off to one of the first born of lords of the other regions. Besides not being happy with the thought of marriage and the loss of her goals and freedom - her prospects are, well less than to be desired! In her attempt to change her fate, Merida makes a mistake that could not only change her life but her whole families.
We both really enjoyed the show - and before the preview, there were even performers doing Irish Step-dancing. Now don't expect this at your showing. I just want to say that the small dancers were absolutely adorable!
My boyfriend even posted his review on his facebook page :) "I went to a screening of Brave last night. I liked it; scenery, story, and voice acting were good. It is a kids movie, but entertaining. I would definitely recommend the movie for kids and parents."
Make sure you check for the movie times for Brave at your local movie theater - trust me you'll enjoy it! Just watch out for that Disney Travel commercial.. it might just make you want to take that trip today!

More often than I'd like, clients find me after their deals have gone south and the other side has them in a chokehold. As I examine their deals post-mortem, I can usually trace the cause of their problems back to the original negotiations. For whatever reason, they cut a deal that left them exposed.
Of course, you can't shield yourself against every possible mishap. But there are ways to structure your deal from the get-go to protect yourself after you sign on the dotted line.

|In the last couple days I have found itty bitty teeny tiny green bugs living on my roses, they seem to really like the buds. What could they be and what can I do to get rid of them?
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by peachymomo (My Page) on Fri, Aug 7, 09 at 20:04
|There are lots small green bugs, without pictures it will be very difficult to determine what they are. Try searching for 'garden insects' and see if you can find a website with pictures that match the bugs on your plants.
|Sounds like aphids. Search for pic on google images. Something like "aphids on rose bud".
|I just noticed little tiny green bugs all over the top ends of my rose stems as well. Mostly on the newly forming buds.
I sprayed them the next day with a Bayer Insect Killer...as dead and gone.
They where aphids...just like the ones in this link.
|Just a thought here ...
Spraying with a chemical pesticide for aphids is something like using a sledge hammer to kill a fly in your living room.
Aphids are vulnerable, soft-bodied insects.
Birds love to eat aphids.
Only, when you spray with something like the Bayer Pesticides, you kill the beneficial

UniCarriers Americas Dealers Invest in Training
The University of UniCarriers Americas, launched in January of 2012, is an educational platform that establishes UniCarriers Americas Corp.'s service technicians and salespeople as the most highly skilled and knowledgeable material handling equipment representatives in the industry. UniCarriers Americas was formerly Nissan Forklift.
Sunbelt Industrial Trucks Finds Value in Training
Sunbelt Industrial Trucks, located in Dallas, has the most technicians enrolled in the University of UniCarriers Americas' College of Technical Services. The 24 technicians from Sunbelt are in various stages of the training program.
"We had 11 technicians reach the Apprentice level in 2012 and by March first, we'll have five more technicians certified at that level as well," said George Munford, VP of operations, Sunbelt Industrial Trucks. Sunbelt, which has only been a UniCarriers Americas dealership for one year, immediately started the University of UniCarriers program. "The Nissan Forklift [by UniCarriers] product line was new to us and we knew that we needed to get all of our technicians trained on the models as soon as we could."
Munford explained that service technicians participate in the training program as part of their career advancement path, completing the three online classes on their own time and at their own pace prior to participating in the class training. Sunbelt employs a corporate trainer, Paul Pack, to complete the in-person training classes on site. The two- to three-day classes are held at Sunbelt every other month.
"We ended up doubling our expected investment in training for 2012 when we got our staff involved in the university," Munford says. "I've been in the forklift industry at the dealer level for more than 20 years, and the University of Nissan Forklift [now UniCarriers] training program is the most comprehensive training program that I've seen."
Munford reported that Sunbelt's service technicians who are involved with the program provide better service for their customers, are more motivated and have excellent attitudes.
"Sunbelt is an employee-owned company, and by participating in this program, the technicians are also investing in themselves," says Munford. "We're looking forward to having our new technicians start working toward the Apprentice level as well as having some of our staff reach the Journeymen certification."
Service Technician Explains Value of Training
Coy Ross, a service technician at Quality Lift Trucks in San Diego, chose to participate in the University of UniCarriers Americas' College of Technical Service in order to learn more about working on UniCarriers Americas' electric models. Quality Lift invested in Ross' training and travel as part of their own dealership growth plans.
"I want to eventually become a dealer trainer, but I always want to be a better tech and the go-to person when someone needs help," says Ross.
According to Ross, the training he completed through the University of UniCarriers Americas helped him improve his day-to-day work as well as move toward his own goals.
"I've been able to reduce the time it takes me to complete a repair because I'm well-trained," says Ross. "Beyond that, I think that training programs like this one are important to show that the technicians and the dealership are working hard to be the best."
Ross also believes that pursuing training opportunities shows a commitment to continuous improvement and he looks forward to the program's growth.

Farm Diary: Pruning in March
Posted by James Eisenstein on 03/30 at 09:13 AM
A black currant before and after pruning. Photo Credit James Eisenstein.
Most people know that pruning does not consist of attaching prunes to fruit trees and bushes, despite what Amelia Bedelia understood it to mean. But beyond that, I'll wager that most folks who read Unpaid Field Hand only know that it involves some sort of cutting and thinning of fruit trees and canes.
Of course, you can learn all about it by going on the web and googling "fruit pruning." But even after reading the 7,280,000 results available, you might be forgiven for still not knowing just how to do it. And for good reason. That's because even the most knowledgeable experts sometimes give contradictory advice. Even Michael Phillips, whose book The Apple Grower is considered an authority to many apple cultivators, confesses that he hopes to know how to do it by the time he is eighty.
If you do not prune fruit trees and brambles (the word insiders use for many types of berry bushes), your planting will resemble a labyrinth that must be navigated to get to the fruit, which will be small, unappealing, and (in the case of trees) out of reach. So it is something that must be done, and most of it while the plants are still dormant.
In late February and early March, I set about pruning in the orchard and then turned to the currants and gooseberries. I find it to be a pleasant task, with each tree being a puzzle to solve. I guess if I worked at Harner's or Way's fruit farms, having to prune hundreds of trees might change my mind. But we have only about 40 trees, and of different ages to boot.
Training a new tree requires imagining what it will look like as small branches grow in the future, and more mature trees require decisions about what to cut and what to leave. The biggest obstacle most beginners face (I'm just beyond that stage) is fear of cutting too much and hurting the poor, innocent, silent, uncomplaining tree. You can cut too much, particularly from pears and cherries. But most beginners, including yours truly, prune too little, especially on apple trees. This results in your having to prune more heavily in later years, which temporary reduces yield.
Our fruit trees are just entering their bearing years, but we have mature currant and gooseberry bushes that should be yielding nice crops soon. Last year, we got some fruit, but far less than we should have. My theory last spring was, why cut branches that would bear fruit? Thinning would just mean less.
The mediocre harvest that resulted from following this strategy put us in a "what have we got to lose" position, so this year I actually followed the experts' advice (they do agree on some things). Black currants, for example should be pruned to 9 or 10 canes, with an equal number of three year, two year, and one year olds. So I mustered my courage and hacked away, as the before/after pictures show. Stay tuned for a harvest report this June.

IF,..... Canada were to utilize the Canadian Coast Guard, properly funded and equipped, as a mirror of the US Coast Guard, and its procedures, manuals, Missions and Training... Then and only then would Canadians have a 1st rate SAR organization that they could be proud of Nationwide. Using the Canadian Coast Guard as a fishery patrol, Ice Breaker and political VIP mover is very wrong. As the former Area Manager of Helicopter Survival and Rescue Services Ltd. in St. John's from 1984-1989 it was our Honor to provide SAR services to the Offshore. We also volunteered to fly any and all SAR missions that we could be assigned. All of our personnel were highly trained, experienced, and available to fly on a 30 minute notice 24/7 365 ! The very qualified, highly trained and very competent members of the Canadian Armed Forces providing SAR in Newfoundland do an outstanding job. It should Not be their single responsibility to provide this service. They are under funded, under equipped and under staffed ! It is long past time for Canada to step up and do it right. Fund and train the Canadian Coast Guard to do the job. A Fisherman, a Snowmobiler, A Bush Pilot and a Hiker just don't have the capability to do the proper response for SAR.

Search and rescue techniques have come a long way in 25 years past. I did my flight training in Alberta in 1983 when search and rescue was integrated into our classroom agenda. It was considered every pilots responsibility to help find anyone on the ground in need of assistance. SAR was a community backed program comprised of many skilled volunteers. There was one sad and unfortunate series of airplane crashes in January 1984 where 13 people lost their lives in search of 1 missing Cessna Skyhawk with 2 on board. A Canadian Air Force Twin Otter crashed into mount Lougheed with 2 crew and 6 other pilots acting as spotters and in the following days 2 other small aircraft also crashed in the unforgiving white out terrain. 13 deaths were recorded and still the lost aircraft was not yet found. I was scheduled to be a spotter on that Twin Otter on January 14 the day of the crash, however, my son was born on Jan 13th and I was attending my wife at the hospital and had to back out. The death count would have been 14 had he not been born 30 days premature. Search and rescue is a community event, but needs to be well organized, well funded and prepared for the worst. There is no shortage of skilled volunteers to back up government efforts as long as it's done with experienced leaders. and good equipment. The air force pilot who lost his horizon in the snow covered mountains was not experienced at mountain flying and was on his first SAR mission. The Atlantic provinces have an even harder job dealing with rescue at sea. Still , you will find no shortage of volunteers familiar with the sea in Newfoundland and Labrador. Search and rescue can be a well oiled machine if each community has the means and the funding to act fast and efficiently, utilizing every resource available including the untapped skills within each community.

There has been no accountability for the Slugs that made the death warrant decision that day which killed Burton Winters - the same as if they pulled the trigger. But the Big Shots cover for each other and only an Inquiry will find partial truth. Yet we go on with our lives forgetting and not demanding answers. We get the government we deserve!

What is Mild Cognitive Impairment?
Posted By alz03 On July 29, 2010 @ 2:53 am In About Alzheimer's | No Comments
Mild Cognitive Impairment, or MCI, is increasingly being used to describe a syndrome of memory impairment that does NOT significantly impact daily activities and is not accompanied by declines in overall cognitive function. Researchers have found that 6 percent to 25 percent of people with MCI progress to Alzheimer's, which has raised questions about whether MCI might represent some kind of "transitional stage" between normal aging and dementia. In fact, many experts believe that MCI, as well as age-related memory loss, may always be an early form of Alzheimer's, and progression to symptomatic Alzheimer's disease may be only a matter of time. In some people, the progression may be very slow, so the person may die of other causes before displaying the full spectrum of Alzheimer's symptoms. MCI is now recognized as a clinical condition that requires ongoing assessment and possibly treatment to delay its progression.

Sony XPERIA Go ST27 - Android 4.1.2 - firmware 6.2.A.1.100
Sony XPERIA Go is a succesor of XPERIA Active. It is a powerfull outdoor smartphone, it is water resistant and it has a dual core processor inside. There is no other phone that would be better for travelling and outdoor activities. Below you can find the latest firmware for the phone and also three tutorials/manuals - how to unlock the bootloader, how to relock the bootloader and how to backup the original firmware customization.
First of all one important thing - before you start to do anything with your phone, do the backup of your personal data. It is only for your safety in case that something goes wrong or any mistake happens. In that case you can use the backup to restore the data and try to do everything once again. Each tutorial has been done many times to verify its propriety, so just read carefully all instructions and continue step by step. For each of Sony (Ericsson) XPERIA smartphones we will provide a manual consisting of 4, 5 or 6 "HOW TO" chapters. Our tutorials will be of course updated every time when Sony Mobile publishes anything new, affecting any of our topics. All important files have been stored on my own download server, so there should be no problem with downloading. The major part of every file has been created by myself and every file has been tested on the corresponding phone. In this guideline related to the Sony XPERIA Go you can find some photos and videos showing how to proceed, but the most important thing are the below written manuals. All referenced files are determined for Sony XPERIA Go ST27. So, what can you expect in terms of mentioned manuals / tutorials?

I was going strong on this goal until Sunday afternoon. A couple of times a year, I am not smart about lifting and pull the muscles in my lower back. On Sunday, I had to move our generator. It's on wheels, but one side is lifted like a wheel barrow. I'd forgotten that there were 8 gallons (32 liters) of fuel in the top of it. ouch! Hopefully, I can restart on this Monday and get back on track. All week, my only exercise has been walking. 2 years ago

The Sunday Ticker: O'Brien, Morgan, Henry
- Former CNN anchor Soledad O'Brien contributes to CNN, HBO and Al Jazeera America. Now she can add another channel to her résumé: Sundance Channel. O'Brien will appear in an episode of "Dream School" on the channel Monday, working to inspire kids.
- CNN's Piers Morgan tells The Guardian that the HBO drama "The Newsroom" is what inspired him to take a stand against the U.S. gun lobby on his primetime program, and in his new book Shooting Straight.
- After being ignored by White House Press Secretary James Carney, Fox News White House correspondent Ed Henry apparently walked out of the briefing room. See the video at Mediaite.

The British Bankers' Association, the century-old lobby group that oversees the London interbank offered rate, named Anthony Browne, a government relations executive at Morgan Stanley (MS:US), as chief executive officer.
Browne, a former adviser to London Mayor Boris Johnson and an ex-journalist, replaces Angela Knight on Sept. 1, the BBA said in a statement today. Knight said in April she would step down after five years as CEO.
"This continues to be a time of change and reform for the banking industry and Anthony brings with him a range of skills and experiences to lead the organization in facing the challenges arising," Marcus Agius, chairman of the BBA and Barclays Plc (BARC), said in the statement.
Browne joins the London-based BBA as regulators worldwide probe whether banks rigged Libor, the benchmark for $360 trillion of securities. The group said in March a panel of lenders will review how the figure is calculated amid criticism from executives such as Tullett Prebon Plc (TLPR) CEO Terry Smith that banks shouldn't be left to police the rate.
Browne, who was selected by a nomination committee with Agius as chairman and made up of representatives from Lloyds Banking Group Plc (LLOY), BNP Paribas SA and Citigroup Inc., has been head of government relations for Europe, the Middle East and Africa at Morgan Stanley in London for the past six months. Before that, he was an adviser to the London Mayor on economic and business policy, the BBA statement said in the statement.
"It will be an honor to lead the BBA, helping to resolve the complex issues still surrounding banking five years after the start of the financial crisis," Browne said in the statement. "We need to continue to lead on reform, ensuring the banking sector meets the needs and expectations of our customers and shareholders, and can play its pivotal role in returning the U.K. to economic growth."
Knight, 61, is stepping down to become CEO of Energy U.K., which lobbies on behalf of the energy industry. The former Conservative party lawmaker became a figurehead for the industry as the state took control of Northern Rock Plc and bailed out Royal Bank of Scotland Plc and Lloyds Banking Group Plc during the financial crisis of 2008.
Daily Survey
Libor is generated through a daily survey of banks conducted on behalf of the BBA by Thomson Reuters Corp. (TRI) in which firms are asked how much it would cost them to borrow from one another for 15 time periods, from overnight to one year. A predetermined number of quotes are excluded and those left are averaged and published for individual currencies before noon.
Bloomberg LP, the parent of Bloomberg News, competes with Thomson Reuters in selling financial and legal information and trading systems.
Questions about the accuracy of Libor were first raised by the Bank for International Settlements in a March 2008 report that indicated lenders were "wary of revealing" information that could signal they were struggling to borrow funds during the global credit crunch.

How Big Is Too Big?
I just got back from a study abroad in Europe this year where I dated a few of the local guys there. One guy in particular was really cool to hang out with, and after becoming intimate with him one evening, I was pleasantly surprised -- shocked even, to discover that he had an extremely large penis, which was a HUGE turn-on for me to look at. I say simply to "look at," because it was too large for it to fit inside me. I never measured it, and I never asked him exactly how large it was, but we're talking double digits here I'm sure.
My question is that for most girls, how large is too large for you when it comes to a guy's manhood?
Everyone is different...a friend of mine has a b/f with 11" and she loves it and can accommodate him. I'm with a man with 5.5" and he is perfect for my body. So, I prefer an average size man. I wouldn't want anything over 6".
i think anything over 9 inches is to big to actually fit inside comfortable. To look at hmmm, maybe 12 inches. my man is 6 or 7 inches and it does me good!
Girls can only fit 4 inches in.. so depending on what they like...
For my my ex has 11 inches, it was hot to look at. But nothing more than lookin... lol
When I was 21, I was below average. I'm almost 25 now, and I went through a massive, late growth spurt.
My penis went from below average to way above average. I'm into the double digits, and I'm not even sure I'm done growing.
Anyway, from experience, 7-8 inches always got the best reaction. it was big enough for girls to like looking at, yet not too big to where it hurt them when having sex. When I hit 9 inches, it started to become more entertaining to look at, but more painful to have sex with. I just kept growing and growing. I haven't had sex for a while, even though girls try.
My issues are two fold and kind of odd and embarrassing ,but here it goes. My husband has a freakishly large penis (10+ inches flaccid and 16+ when erect and very thick)and we are always having issues. When he is in clothes, I can always see his penis through his pants and I am obsessively jealous with the fact that I know other people see it as well. It causes big fights all the time. The other issue is that after intercourse (when the adrenaline wears off), very often I am in so much pain it brings tears to my eyes. I love my husband very much, but Im at a loss.
don't know if this will help or not, my former boy frind had a lg penis too, it would hurt when we made love, I talked to him and asked if he wouldn't put it in all the way cause it was causing discomfort fer me, he agreed and it was real good after that, you can try that and soo if it works and the other thing is before he puts it in, I'm not sure how to decribe it but the two pieces of skin that hanges in front of the vigina, kind ok looks like two balls thats been deflated, take a hold of them and move the out of the way, it may sound gross like clearing the path way fer the tree.I don't mean to affend you in anyway, but what do you expect from a hill--billy, just thought I'd give you my two cents worth. about seeing his penis through his pants, try having him wear black undergarments or what ever he wears, they are harder to see through, have a good day.
My wife always complains about my size and it lowers my self esteem. When we try to have sex, she says I am being selfish and reckless with it. When it's fully erect, it's 8 and a half inches long and 6 inchs in girth. I have never cheated on her but I would like to be with someone who can accept this size and allow me to do it in any position I want. Am I overreacting or what should I do?
Should I dump my Boyfriend because his Penis is too big?
He is very large, and it's too large for me to take. We've tried everything and every position, but it still is too too uncomfortable. I know he is a lot larger then average. He can't wear regular condoms, and the large ones are almost too tight. As bad as it sounds, I think it's hurting are relationship an awful lot, and I don't know how to talk to him about it. What does everyone say?

Want to live a long, healthy life? Amazingly, researchers have mined demographic data to unearth the exact "doses" of exercise needed to lengthen your life.
These "dose-response" studies provide answers to these questions:
- How many minutes of brisk walking (or any moderate exercise) do you need to do per day to increase your life expectancy?
- If you dislike exercising, what's the very least amount you can get away with and still earn a longevity boost?
- For exercise go-getters, what's the amount of brisk walking that provides the most extra years of life for your exercise input?
The latest research by expert epidemiologist I-Min Lee of Harvard Medical School and her associates gives you the answers based on studies of over 650,000 people over 40, followed on average for 10 years.

A Call for Clarity on the War in Afghanistan
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
While President Barack Obama reviews his strategy on Afghanistan, a perfect moment to send a strong unified message to end the war is slipping through our fingers. Whether it's because we seem to have bought into the lies about the goals of this war or because we mistakenly feel that a Democratic president is going to come to the right conclusion on his own, one thing is clear: There's no debate within the Democratic Party or in the White House about whether to end the war. The only thing being debated is how to continue the war.
Similarly, there's little debate among progressives about how this is a bad war, and at the very least we need an exit strategy. Paralysis has set in on the particular manner of ending the war: whether to wait for some sort of "peace process," to pull out troops now versus later, to preserve troop levels until Afghanistan's women are safe, or some variation of these questions. We're in a bizarre situation: As Obama waffles on how to continue the war in Afghanistan, progressives are waffling on how to end the war.
Despite some major differences between the Afghan and Iraq wars, U.S. military operations and their consequences in both countries are the same. Similar to Iraq, this war kills civilians and soldiers causing misery on all sides. Similar to Iraq, this war has made women less safe. Similar to Iraq, this occupation has become unpopular on the ground. Similar to Iraq, our actions are leading to greater instability. And similar to Iraq, our tax dollars are being disappeared into a sinkhole of destruction rather than human needs. Yet, unlike Iraq, where progressives were clear right from the start on ending the war, Afghanistan seems to confuse our moral compass.
Our actions in Afghanistan have caused a perfect storm of untold numbers of civilian deaths, fundamentalist resurgence, and women's oppression. We're protecting a corrupt government with a puppet president and criminal warlords, and our deadly bombing raids have led to a devastated and rightly bitter population and a stronger Taliban. There's no promising indication that our military operations can improve the situation, no matter how many troops are added. If ever the Afghanistan war ever had any legitimacy, it's irreversibly gone.
Enabling Women's Oppression
One of the original justifications for the war in 2001 that seemed to resonate most with liberal Americans was the liberation of Afghan women from a misogynist regime. This is now being resurrected as the following: If the U.S. forces withdraw, any gains made by Afghan women will be reversed and they'll be at the mercy of fundamentalist forces. In fact, the fear of abandoning Afghan women seems to have caused the greatest confusion and paralysis in the antiwar movement.
What this logic misses is that the United States chose right from the start to sell out Afghan women to its misogynist fundamentalist allies on the ground. The U.S. armed the Mujahadeen leaders in the 1980s against the Soviet occupation, opening the door to successive fundamentalist governments including the Taliban. In 2001, the United States then armed the same men, now called the Northern Alliance, to fight the Taliban and then welcomed them into the newly formed government as a reward. The American puppet president Hamid Karzai, in concert with a cabinet and parliament of thugs and criminals, passed one misogynist law after another, appointed one fundamentalist zealot after another to the judiciary, and literally enabled the downfall of Afghan women's rights over eight long years.
Any token gains have been countered by setbacks. For example, while women are considered equal to men in Afghanistan's constitution, there have been vicious and deadly attacks against women's rights activists, the legalization of rape within marriage in the Shia community, and a shockingly high rate of women's imprisonment for so-called honor crimes - all under the watch of the U.S. occupation and the government we are protecting against the Taliban. Add to this the unacceptably high number of innocent women and children killed in U.S. bombing raids, which has also increased the Taliban's numbers and clout, and it makes the case that for eight years the United States has enabled the oppression of Afghan women and only added to their miseries.

Photo Credit: Amelia Harnas
Can you imagine opening a bottle of wine and resisting the urge to drink it—and instead using it as paint? That takes serious self-control, but artist Amelia Harnas is used to it: Since 2010, she's been creating impressive portraits of celebrities and historical figures with a paint she makes out of red wine. Harnas recently teamed up with Punch magazine to make this short video to demonstrate her process. Watch and see how she paint Jay-Z's portrait and other distinctive faces out of wine stains:
Painting Under the Influence from PUNCH on Vimeo.
Harnas says she developed the idea and technique for her wine-stain portraits over a period of two years. As she told us: "I vividly remember looking at the very first wine stain when it was finished and thinking, holy moly, it actually worked. It was a certifiable 'Eureka!' moment." The portraits, like watercolors, are very delicate, but Harnas says that the first ones she made in 2010 have held up well. The best way to store the portraits? Keep them framed to delay oxidation, Harnas advises.

Street fight
Without a doubt, the race for mayor of Detroit is about to get real. When Mike Duggan won — and not just won a write-in campaign but also came in first — many in Detroit were stunned. Duggan clearly outspent the competition.
The city council incumbents — who opened the door for the Snyder administration — were reelected. Any person with a family name or who has held office previously coasted to victory.
Overall, the primary results were a disappointment. It is clear the old mechanisms, many decimated by emergency management and political gutting, are not working. The institutions that have traditionally guaranteed votes — the Black churches, unions — are not a sure thing anymore.
Their candidate Benny Napoleon pulled through in what must have been a disappointing finish. One doesn't get the sense that these mechanisms work like they used to.
But one mechanism still works — cold hard cash. That appears to be the real difference in this primary.
Fluctuating demographics may have also had some influence — loss of the Black middle class and gain of newbies in search of authenticity and the urban experience.
Fact is, at 16.9 percent, Detroiters just didn't vote.
But they are not totally wrong in that fatigue from the economy, horrendous city services, the effect of emergency management and bankruptcy filing can be overwhelming. Their non-vote in essence was a vote.
But Detroit needs you in November.
This election was not about change. Too many recognizable names for that. This primary was about money.
Detroit got the same old candidates and ones backed by the same names who have floated around Detroit working to shape the issues we care (or don't care about) for years —Roger Penske, the Detroit Regional Chamber.
This isn't change.
November is critical for determining the future of Detroit. It is an opportunity to strengthen old institutions, get out the vote and offer support to candidates. It also provides an opportunity to build new political machines and bolster organizations capable of fieldwork and connection to grassroots people.
Detroit candidates must create new methods of funding and supporting campaigns. To vote for the ones with the most money undercuts the issues everyday citizens care the most about and leaves the city where it has been — taking up issues people with the most money find beneficial to them.
Most importantly, we need candidates with a strong platform who can develop an agenda that will resonate with voters, inspiring them to make the necessary sacrifices to vote.
We need a strong mayor who can check the role of emergency manager. As Krystal Crittendon pointed out in the last week of her campaign, the mayor can ask the federal bankruptcy judge to remove Orr, and the next mayor should.
Last weekend, EM Orr called Detroiters "dumb, lazy, happy and rich."
Lawyers don't typically refer to their clients in this manner, but it is evident Orr's client is Gov. Snyder, not the citizens of Detroit. Orr's comments are horrifying in their arrogance, ignorance and overall lack of context.
Yet, we believe his comments reflect the Snyder administration's tone about the city. This is the same group that builds a $400 million hockey stadium financed by people who mostly live in poverty. Sixty percent of Detroit's children live under the poverty line, but hockey is the priority.
Detroit, we need a street fight this November.

In a night where the Nationals managed to muster just three hits, Washington was able to hang on in what had the potential to be their last game of the season by the sheer will of their bullpen.
Following a stellar start from Ross Detwiler, which yielded just three hits and one unearned run over 104 pitches, the Nats remained deadlocked in a 1-1 tie with the Cards after six. That's where Davey Johnson made the decision to turn to the bullpen with the hopes that the squad that the team had relied on all season would be able to succeed where they had failed in the past two games.
The result? Electric stuff from two of the usual suspects, Tyler Clippard and Drew Storen, and flat out unbelievable stuff from the team's No. 2 starter Jordan Zimmermann. In a rare relief appearance in the seventh, Zimmermann struck out all three batters he faced, using just 12 pitches. The right-hander's fastball sat at 97 mph on the gun and his slider, which usually rests in the mid-to-high 80's sat at 91.
"Yeah, the guys said, he needs to be our closer, "manager Davey Johnson said in his postgame press conference.
"But Zimm said to McCatty, he said "I just tried to throw it as hard as I could throw it."
Clippard and Storen were just as effective in the eighth and ninth. Clippard struck out three of the four batters he faced, and Storen struck out two before ending the inning with a pop-up to shallow left.
At one point, the Nationals bullpen had recorded all of their eight outs as strikeouts.
In the bottom of the ninth, Werth took to the plate to matchup against Lance Lynn for the Cardinals. An epic 13-pitch at bat culminated with a walk off shot for Werth that brought the house down at Nats Park.
"He's a remarkable guy," Johnson said. "He can force a pitcher ot throw a lot of pitches, and he did that time."
Nats fans can look at tonight's game in one of two ways. A squad which had struggled to hit the ball managed to earn just three hits on the game, and only had five base runners overall. One could wonder if the issues that have crippled the top team in baseball this series are over, or if the inevitable was merely delayed.
On the other hand, the Nationals pitching returned to its electric form. Washington won games early on in 2012 on the sheer will of their pitching and timely hitting. It was a formula that worked well until the team found their groove in the middle of the summer. It's not ideal, but if Gio Gonzalez can take the mound tomorrow night for Washington and replicate what we saw here tonight, then Washington will , no matter what, have a punchers chance at the NLCS.

One couple released by pirates, another kidnapped
Chandlers arrive at Heathrow .
Undoubtedly the most searing story of the week is the double news from Somali pirate waters. One cruising sailor couple from Britain rescued after a horrifying year in the hands of Somali pirates, kept in subhuman conditions and fed on a meagre diet, another long range cruising couple from South Africa disappeared into the murky world of southern Somalia.
A few months after the kidnap of Paul and Rachel Chandler, the world's press received a curious request. Somali pirates were gleeful that the Chandlers had received so much world coverage by the media. To them it meant just one thing – that the ransom they would receive would be concomitantly large. How could the world be so moved by the plight of the Chandlers and not come up with a huge ransom? They didn't understand world voyeurism for what it was, or the British press for how it attracted its readers. Following this request a long period of comparative silence ensued, accompanied by frantic negotiations by the informal group gathered around the family of the Chandlers. It took a long time, but the Chandlers are free, and the only thing we can hope for is that the South African couple will fare better.
I am in Melbourne today to speak at the Boating Industry Association's (BIA) money-raising luncheon at the Sandringham Yacht Club. It's good to see the news this week that the BIA and NSW Maritime are joining to donate 400 inflatable life jackets for sailing instructors. I am glad they are inflatable - it's so hard to make someone wear the old fashioned bulky type!
15-year-old Dutch teenager Laura Dekker, the tortoise of the solo teenage sailors, has touched one Cape Verde Island and is now heading for Sao Nicolau. There she will wait until the end of November before heading across the Atlantic.
This means she will be trailing the 239 yachts which are departing on Sunday on the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers (ARC). However, it is estimated that, as well as the 200 or so yachts in the ARC, another 250 cross the Atlantic at this time of year, so, while out of sight mostly, Laura will have plenty of radio company on her first ocean crossing.
The Seven Seas U – the educational arm of the Seven Seas Cruising Association – have started their webinars for November. In Australia some of the times can be difficult unless you're a night owl, but you can check in later for the recording, which is just as good in my view. In either case, it's a great way to up your sailing and seamanship skills.
So much other news as well - among them some other rescues and collisions to learn from, Jesse Martin and the Coral Sea Campaign, a couple of good book reviews (Christmas is getting close), the Trailable Yacht Festival report and the next Sanctuary Cove Boat Show - so scroll down to find the articles that interest you.
Sweet sailing!
