I first met Mr Mike Scott (he of The Waterboys) at the Abbey Theatre, at the launch of their 2009/10 season. The striking poster above caught my eye immediately and I turned to David, the Abbey's Press Officer to express my surprise and delight at the inclusion in the programme when he gestured towards the man himself, deep in conversation with someone.
I was awestruck.
I try to control my fanboy-ness, it being most unbecoming for a "professional", don't ya know. All around actors, playwrights and media people swanned, greeting each other as equals where-as I'm looking at Mike Scott – MIKE SCOTT!! – and thinking "Wow, it's you, in the same room as me. WOW!"
See, I'm a big fan of Mike Scott's lyrical writing and of the Waterboys music. It's one of the first "Celtic" groups I remember listening to and understanding as a teenager. A cousin had given me their 1983 album "The Waterboys" and I listened to it over and over, songs like "I will not follow", "It should have been you" and "Savage Earth Heart" becoming more than songs, but my first understanding that this really could be poetry set to music.
I want to be a witness or a victim to your spell
crafted in lightning, dressed in shadows, clear as a bell
I want to be there when the savage comes
I want to be there when the savage comes
When your savage earth heart cuts through
I didn't follow the Waterboys though or try to emulate them in the same way my peers were doing with U2 or Michael Jackson or whoever was big at the time. I had books to read, new lands to discover, illness to contend with and computer games to play. I was bought "Fisherman's Blues" when it came out and overplayed that but it wasn't until I bought an album of theirs called "This is the Sea" that I understood just how good a lyricist Mike Scott was.
I must have played "Whole of the Moon" at least 40 times a day.
It then became yet another CD on the shelf and my musical taste moved from the sublime to the ridiculous to the classical and back, but "Whole of the Moon" is one of those songs I always had on my iPod, that I always loved singing along to and that I always wondered about.
And here was the writer, in the same room as me. Mike is doing "An Appointment with Mr Yeats" at the Abbey Theatre for five nights in March 2010 – "a show fusing the poetic power of W.B. Yeats and the visceral music of The Waterboys."
Since setting The Stolen Child to music on their classic Fisherman's Blues album, Waterboys' singer Mike Scott has been quietly crafting a rich collection of songs utilising Yeats' poems as lyrics.
A few were performed solo by Scott during the Yeats International Festival at the Abbey in the 1990s, but most have remained unheard, waiting for the moment when, in Scott's words, 'I had enough songs to create a full programme and present it in a potent, radical fashion, worthy off the Abbey Theatre which Yeats himself founded.'
I went to Mike, we arranged to meet at the Odessa Club and we did so on Thursday 16 July. Yes indeed, it's that long ago. I sat with this man and asked questions and listened.

But, I had a big problem.
See, I'm in awe of hugely creative people. I know how much work it goes into indulging your brain power, the sacrifices it takes to come out and listening to someone extremely creative like Mike fuses my brain, stills my tongue and sets my mind to a "Wow" mode.
Even in my research for Mike, I grew to learn about him being far more than just "the guy from the Waterboys". He's a poet, philosopher, dreamer, writer, composer, musician, activist and blogger. A read of his blog was enough to only deepen my respect and awe for the man.
And so, with the help of Darren, I attempted an interview. I fumbled, stuttered and stammered my way through it, all the time realising how inadequate my research was, how stupid my questions seemed and how Mike Scott deserved to be talking to a professional here, not some gombeen reading from printed Wikipedia pages and getting simple facts wrong.
It didn't help that the Odessa Club was noisy at the time either, something I wasn't aware of until I played back the video, shot by Darren.
This isn't false modesty or hero worship either, something Mike would reject immediately, modest and unassuming as he is. I know he's only a person, same as everyone. This is my embarrassment at not being able to convey through this interview just how inspiring Mike Scott is, how interesting he was to talk to, how impressed I was by him in person and how much I'd advise anyone who gets the chance to sit down with him and have a chat to do so.
Throughout the interview Mike was a gentleman, indulging my pauses, responding to my questions with grace and professional style, no doubt wondering at times if I actually knew who he was. For that I shall be eternally grateful.
I didn't want to publish this interview seeing how bad I was in it and I've been playing around with it for over a month to try and get it right, and it's still not there. I hope it does some sort of justice to the man, and I apologise for the delay in publishing and for my amateur attempt. However, it was, and remains in my mind, one of the most inspirational and fun chats I've ever done. I'd advise listening at the very least.
We spoke about The Waterboys, about his love of Yeats, his background, his taste in literature and about why Yeats inspires him and his love of other poets. We spoke about wings, he just flew, I wondered, I guessed and I tried, he just knew Whole of the Moon and his relationship to the song.
We spoke about his directing of his music, of his website and about "Let the Earth Bear Witness", his response to the protests in Iran. I asked about what he'd point to as his own favourite works. I asked questions from the people on Twitter, about his feelings about people covering his songs and about his poetry.
Here's the interview. Apologies for the poor sound.
Here also is Mike reading his poem "My Love For Her Is Fire".
Here he is at a Gigs for Gaza Concert in Vicar Street performing "Whole of the Moon" with Steve Wickham.
And finally, in all its glory, the video for Let the Earth Bear Witness.
The cover video I played part of is by Scottish Diva Terry Neason and can be seen here.
You'll find Mike Scott's blog here, the Waterboys website here, Mike on twitter here and details of "An Appointment with Mr Yeats" at the Abbey Theatre on the Abbey Theatre website.
Mr Scott, thank you and your lovely wife for your time, and I'm sorry it has taken so long. I am grateful, believe me. Mr Byrne, thank you for the photos and the video and above all, thank you for reading and watching.

In order to advance and compete, K-12 students for whom English is not a first language still must learn subjects in addition to English. Quite often, however, teachers are not fully equipped to teach these subjects effectively to English language learners (ELLs). In response, Math Solutions has devised a multimedia professional development resource aimed at helping teachers facilitate ELLs in mastering their math skills while simultaneously allowing them to pursue their English language development.
Supporting English Language Learners in Math Class includes two books full of strategies teachers can use in order to achieve the dual goals of math instruction and language development. The K-2 book includes chapters covering optimal approaches to teaching about basic arithmetic and geometry, dealing with money, data analysis, rudimentary algebra, word problems, and even modifying lessons specifically to better reach ELLs. The book for grades 3 through 5 covers probability, measurement, more advanced geometry and algebra scenarios, and more complex word problems.
The resource consists of three tools:
The complete package retails for $299. The two books can be purchased together for $45.95 or separately for $26.95 each. More details and purchasing information can be found here.

I would like to share this blog post:

Below were questions asked to me by Zy of The Filipino Lifestyle, I like to share my answers here. Hobbyist in Focus: Pete Rahon was the title of the article. Excerpts were culled from my answers below.

 1. How did you get into blogging about chocolate?

 I discovered pinterest.com and from there it reawakened my fond memory of eating my first chocolate cake that my aunt baked for me. I started f repining all those beautiful photos of chocoIate cakes. Then I thought of blogging about chocolate. I thought of pinoychocophile (Filipino lover of chocolate) for a name. I found out that unlike in other countries that blog solely about chocolate, here in the country I believe I am the first blogger to blog only about chocolate. Some food bloggers do blog about chocolate but not their primary blogging niche.

 2. Did you plan to be a chocolate blogger from the start or was it just coincidence?

 So it was not planned at all since I have several blogs already from personal to social issues. So this chocolate blog was a product of my interest of chocolate cakes. I am still in the process of developing it since even for chocolate as a topic you can go as varied with your subtopics. For now I like to do reviews or tasting of those chocolates made by Filipino artisan chocolatiers ( like Theo and Philo and Machiavelli among others) and also those other foreign commercial brandsbut mostly dark chocolates (more than 60% cacao content) . But I would also like to write about the history and tradition of chocolate in the country like doing a review of the best Tablea that are used to make hot chocolate drink. Since we have good producers from Batangas, Cebu and Davao. In line with that, I would like to visit cacao plantations and write about how they are grown and produced. Also, There are also several restaurants that serves mostly chocolate in their menu like Heavenly Chocolate in Roces Avenue in Quezon City. So I would like to review also the chocolate food and drinks served in those restos.

Published by Max Felchlin AG, Schwyz, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary. (2008)

Since visiting Felchlin 2010 and 2011, I must admit I'm addicted to there chocolate and there philosophy. This book is to interesting not to blog, so I must share this on my blog.

The Bean From Harvesting to Shipping

The picked, ripe an healthy cocoa fruits are cut open. The beans are removed and transferred to wooden fermentation boxes that are not exposed to direct sunlight. This is the traditional and most authentic fermentation method; other modern methods, tailored to large-volume fermentation, are not as natural.

Fermentation Before fermentation, the beans are first inspevted and any rotten or mildewed beans discarded. Fermentation starts a maturation process, which involves microorganisms initiation the fermentation of sugar in the pulp, thus generation heat. The fermentation process kills the seedlings in the beans and relaeses an intense odour and juice runs out of the box. With wine, fermentation ends with cooling, however, with cocoa beans, it ends with drying. Experience gained over the centuries, as well as more recent experiments, have helped to determine the exact point when fermentation is over. Criollo, for example, has to ferment for between two or three days, Nacional for between four to five days and Forastero for between seven to eight days (depending on the hybrid). Experience is also necessary for controlled fermentation in boxes: the beans have to turned regularly to ensure sufficient aeration. Other factors that are key to successful fermentation are air humidity, temperature and the size of the boxes (area, height, width). The type and quality of the wood (soft, hard) also play a role.

Drying  After fermentation, the cocoa beans have to be dried with the shrivelled, dry pulp. The best method is a natural one of simply drying the beans in the sun. The fermented beans are spread out in shallow wooden trays or on racks covered with mats made of natural fibres; in the event of sudden rainfall, the mats can simply be rolled up. Drying has to be monotored continuously (almost a daily occurrence in the Tropics), or if the sun is too strong, the beans have to be covered quickly. Three days in the blazing-hot sun is dangerous as the beans are dry on the outside but still moist on the inside; this means that will later "sweat", give off moisture and then go mouldy during transportation or in storage. Depending on conditions and variety, drying takes between three to eight days. When shipped, beans should not contain more than 6.5 percent moisture.

FERMENTATION METHODS

Fermentation is a natural, spontaneous process that has a major influence on the quality of the flavour of cocoa. By using suitable infrastructures and methods, its possible to control the process and thus the resulting flavour.

Unfermented: the beans start to ferment spontaneously in the transport containers but with no control whatsoever. They are then taken straight to the drying stage, which means that virtually no fermentation takes place. Quality: poor.

Piles: the beans are collected into piles, covered with banana leaves and then left to ferment spontaneously. No infrastructure is required; the process is difficult to control. Quality: moderate to good.

Sacks or baskets: the beans are left to ferment in transport sacks or baskets. Simple infrastructure; only suitable for small quantities. Quality: moderate to good.

Boxes: the beans ferment in wooden boxes and are periodically turned, aerated and checked. Good control; relatively expensive infratructure. Quality: good to very good.

Selection Buyers differentiate between different qualities of cocoa beans. Thes differences are nothing to do with the actual variety, rather they are the result of the preceding stages, from cultivation to drying. The qualities selected have different names, depending on the country of origin.

For example, in the Dominican Republic, the highest quality is "Hispaniola"; the buyer has a say in processing and can, for instance, have any beans that are too large or too small removed to ensure uniform roasting sesults: beans that are too small quickly burn and those are too large are not roasted all the way through. In the Dominican Republic, the poorer quality bean is known as "Sanchez". Local selection is important as this is the only way to determine the quality. Although the flavour can be influenced at a later stage (roasting, conching), the basic quality cannot (bean variety and size, fermentation, drying).

Most chocolate producers buy cocoa from traders in Europe, for example, in Geneva or Amsterdam. However, Felchlin does things differently. The specialists from Schwyz travel to the place of cultivation, taking the long journey and sometimes arduous communication in their stride in order to buy the cocoa beans at source. This enables them to use their expertise, to astablish relationships abd exert a direct influence on the properties of the beans. This personal commitment has a positive effect on qulity and any variations are relatively easy to prevent.

DRYING METHODS

The fermented beans still contain approx. 60 percent water. This has to be reduced to less than seven percent so that the beans can be tranported and stored. Slow, careful drying is important for the resulting quality and can take up to seven days.

Sun-drying The beans are spread out to bamboo mats or wooden tables and, depending on weather conditions, protected from strong heat or heavy rains. It's easy to turn and move the beans and the condition of the beans and the drying process can closely monitored. However, a large amount of manpower is needed and the long drying time is weather-dependent. Quality: good to very good.

Artificial heat The beans are heated in long, deep trays by bloxwing air that has been heated artificially through a perforated base. There are also other systems for transferring heat. Large quantities can be dried quickly, even in poor weather conditions. However, drying is uneven, often forced and, in the worst-case scenario, the beans can be contaminated with smoke from the combustion facilities. Quality poor to satisfactory.

I talk about compliance a lot, but don't always think about what it means in a practical or personal sense. I actively seek to comply always with my value system. On the other hand, I know I don't always comply with posted speed limits. I don't know that I've ever thought about being a "victim" of someone else's duty to comply – that is, until a Southwest flight I took from Kansas City to Chicago last week to work with a major school bus company.
Last Wednesday, President Obama was in my new home town to deliver an 11 a.m. speech. I had a 12:40 p.m. flight out of KCI. The Southwest gate agent stressed that we'd be striving for an efficient boarding process; the incoming plane we'd be on was a few minutes late, and passengers would be de-planing and airline staff cleaning the plane as quickly as possible. The urgency was the need to take off before the "VIP traffic" at the airport – it didn't take much to figure out what that was about – caused the airport to close down to incoming or outbound traffic. Such closure would be for an indeterminate length of time. So, Southwest's usual standard of on-time departure meant even more than usual to the airline and to the passengers on my completely full flight, many of whom had connections to make at Chicago's Midway Airport.
Soon after we were all in our seats, belted in, with large electronic devices turned off, a flight attendant announced an "Uh oh." The manifest had to equal the passenger count prior to take off. . .and it didn't. There was one extra passenger on the plane (as an aside, I still can't figure out why that person wasn't immediately obvious just because s/he would have been standing, since we were told the flight was full to capacity.) When the mystery traveler did not self-identify, we were told to take out our ID's – the flight attendants would manually check each against the manifest. Soon – but not soon enough – they determined that one of two friends traveling together, was the culprit. Only one of the young women had a ticket for this flight; the other had flown here from somewhere else, so was properly in the gate area, but wasn't booked on this trip. You can easily guess why it wasn't "soon enough:" the window of opportunity had been slammed shut by the need for compliance with the rule that manifest must match passenger count, and the VIP traffic had shut down the airport. Since Chicago was my destination, I was not agitated; a good many of my co-travelers, however, felt as I would have if I were now going to miss a connection. They were victims of compliance.
As a note, Southwest was a victim, too. It had two standards with which to comply, but clearly, the on-time departure ideal had to give way to the matching manifest rule. After all, what if the extra passenger had been a terrorist, instead of a needy friend?
A couple of days after I arrived, I was asked to give a short presentation about compliance to terminal managers and safety officers at the company with which I was consulting. While I had my usual case law examples of "What's So Good about Compliance," my airline experience lent a certain real-life texture to the conversation. I wondered, too, what the reactions of those passengers with missed connections would have been to the Kansas City Star's report that Obama left KC later than planned. He had stopped at the lovely town of Parkville (12 minutes from my home), and enjoyed his visit so much with those he encountered and shops he popped into that he didn't want to leave!

A PGA pro's battle with ulcerative colitis
It was April 2010, and things in my life were going great. I was engaged to my dream girl, and was getting started at a brand new job, working as an assistant golf professional at a private club in Markham, Ontario. Not only that, but I was working with a great friend of mine, as well as one of the top head golf professionals in the province.
It was the perfect place for me to be at that point of my career. In my third year, I working under a great team at a great club. And on top of that, I had the opportunity to play a lot of local PGA events, which I was very excited about. Playing and competing at a high level is something I love and cherish, and I was pumped for the opportunity.
We were just getting things started at the club, setting up the pro shop and preparing for what was to be a great season. But things took a wicked turn for me in my own life. I found myself needing to go to the bathroom a lot more than normal, and experiencing quite a bit of stomach pain. I just sort of brushed it under the rug in the beginning, thinking it was nothing to worry about that it would go away on its own. Boy, was I wrong.
It continued to happen, increasing in frequency as well as in the urgency to go. When I had to go, I had to go NOW — no waiting around what so ever. The tipping point came when I began to notice blood in my stool. I knew this was something that was not going to go away on its own. I needed to get help.
I went to the doctor, and thus began a wild series of events that just never seemed to end. There were countless doctors and tests to try to determine what was wrong and why this was happening to me. In the beginning, I was told it was a bowel disease called "Ulcerative Proctitis." They told me it was nothing major, and a series of medication were supposed to calm everything down and get things back to normal. I had been sick for about four months, so was excited to hear the news and happy to get my life back on track.
After taking the doctor's advice and medication I was no better — maybe even a bit worse. I went back to the specialist and told him that there was no progress. Like me, he was concerned, and booked a colonoscopy. For anyone who has had this done, you know it is no fun at all, but at the same time it needed to be done so the doctors could see exactly what was going on. What the doctors found was worse than the original "scope" showed — more of my colon was affected, and my doctor was confident that I had "Ulcerative Colitis."
For those who aren't familiar with Ulcerative Colitis, it is an inflammatory bowel disease that unfortunately has no known cause, and only one cure; surgery. The symptoms are many, and include living in a bathroom (at the worst, I would have to go about 20 or more times a day). It also causes constant stomach pain, fatigue, weakness and other bad things.
Even though there was only the one cure, the doctor was nowhere near ready to make me go under the knife. He recommended a high-strength steroid (prednisone) that he thought would calm things down and ease the swelling of the colon, sending the disease into remission. There are thousands of people who have Crohns and Colitis and can live a normal life through medication and treatment, and we were hoping I would be one of them — David Garrard, a former Jacksonville Jags QB is a well-known athlete who has Crohns.
Of course, this made things at the golf club a lot tougher. I was in so much pain and in the bathroom so often. It affected my performance in the shop and on the course. I tried my best while there, but it was not easy. I played when the pain was not as high, but my game suffered. I was only able to play in two events all year, and they were both poor outings — a missed cut in the Ontario PGA Championship and a tough day two in our Assistants summer Championship that had me at the back of the pack.
Playing two consecutive days of tournament golf with this disease was tough, and the fatigue and pain caught up to me in the end. I knew that that was probably going to be it for me for tournaments for 2010, and that was tough to deal with. I knew I was just not healthy enough to play and compete at that level. I just wanted to put all of my energy to getting better and beating the disease. I ended up leaving the club just before the end of the season, as the pain and stress of it all was just too much for my body to handle.
It was now October, and all of these pills and medications were not doing anything for me. I felt I was getting worse and no progress was being made. I went back to the doctor and he knew at this point that the prednisone was not the answer. What I needed was a new drug treatment called Remicade. This was a new treatment for UC patients, but it had offered great results for some. The problem with this treatment is that you have to be approved through the government for it, and you have to get an insurance company to support you, as this treatment costs over $4000 per dose (it is an IV style treatment that goes directly into the blood stream.)
After a long wait and a number of phone calls, emails and paperwork, I was finally approved for the treatment. I had three appointments booked, and they had told me that this should get things into remission. Well, three treatments and more than $12,000 later, I was still not any better, and I knew the surgery was the next step. I was now a year into it and so sick and tired of being so sick and tired. I could not wait to have the surgery and be 100 percent cured of this disease. The main setback with this was the fact that I would have a colostomy bag on the outside of my stomach. It would be a major thing to get used to, but I knew I could do it. I felt it would be a piece of cake!
It was now August 2011 and almost one year since I had last played a round of golf. I remember being in the waiting room waiting to be called into the OR, and I kept thinking of all the things I was going to do when I was better. Golf was high on that list. Getting out to play and compete again was a high priority, and one I could not wait for! It took a while before that first round, but it was all worth it! I remember playing late in 2011, just one round. I was playing with my wife and in-laws at a course I knew well, and standing on that first tee was very special. After all that I had been through, all the hard times and struggles, I was back! I shot a high number that day, but the thrill of being back on the links was so special, and a round I will never forget.
I really appreciate GolfWRX allowing me the opportunity to share my story with the community here. I have left this off with a lot more to add to my story and I hope you enjoyed the read. For anyone looking for more information on the disease, I urge you to check out the websites below, and feel free to PM with any questions you may have in regards to the disease.

Thanks for sharing your story- I hope everything is going well for you and your family. As a young man with UC also, I know it can be tough, especially with an active lifestyle. Take it easy and good luck with the gophers.
This is a very inspirational story. I have Crohns myself (diagnosed Nov 2009) and went 11 months with no diagnosis, being told I had a "persistent stomach flu" and IBS. Finally a month long bout of kidney stones kicked off my long trek to remission. I am so glad to hear you are on the mend, sorry it took surgery to get you there, and wish you the best and many happy rounds on the course
I lost my colon from UC in 2010 after battling it for 6 years. I am now disease free but will tell you first hand life without a functioning large intestine is quite challenging. Your strength and energy levels never return, sleeping through the night it's no longer an option and you will battle significant dehydration for the rest of your life.
If you know anyone with crohns or UC understand that they in essence live their daily lives with symptoms you would associate with a stomach virus, everyday.
Thank you for your story. I had Ulcerative Colitis for about 40 years, from the age of 24 to 66. I got some relief at about age 47 when I began taking a lot of Pepto Bismol which kills bactera. I finally achieved nearly 100% relief when I began taking colostrum 3 years ago. It is an auto immune enhancer from the first milk of a cow that has just given birth. I can only say it absolutely worked for me. I now get minor symptoms when I eat spagetti three days in a row, but I'm cured. Best of luck with you golf. Can you tell me how to cure my golf game?

What an inspiring story! Keep doing what you're doing and I know we'll be seeing the name "Rob Kenny" on the leaderboard in the very near future.
This is a good article about UC. As a sufferer for 20 years i can understand what you are going through, although mine appears much milder than yours. i have been on mesalazine for 19 years and 1 year on the prednisolone that saw my weight balloon. This is a good read and reminder of what happened to me a good few years back.
Great article Rob.
With your dedication and tenacity, I look forward to seeing you playing in The Big Show in the very near future.
I definitely feel for you, Rob, as I have UC myself. I have a lighter case than many, and have managed mostly through diet (I was on sulfasalazine for years and that never really helped). I'm sorry you had to have surgery (I've considered it sometimes when I'm in bad flares), but it sounds like you're taking it in stride and have great things ahead of you.
My daughter is a keen sportswoman and hard working 27yr old and manages her life around Chrohn's. Your story is brave and candid and helpful to others with similar conditions. I wish you every sucess in your life and in your sport, you clearly have the strength of character to work through this tough period and I wish you every success and happiness in 2013. Des.

At this shadow conference the panel consisted of:
Former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright
Afifa Azim, General Director and co-founder of the Afgan Women's Network
Manizha Naden, Executive Director of Women for Afghan Women
Mahbouba Seraj, Executive Board Member of the Afgahan Women's Network
Jan Schakowski, U.S. Representative from Illinois
The conference underscored the concern for women being ignored their basic rights. While there has been progress the main chilling concern is what happens in the near future. It was made clear by these Afgan women that they will not go back to square one, they would go back to much worse than square one and we CANNOT let that happen. This was emphasized over and over. SOS, Hillary Clinton, has stated that we would not abandon these women. Yet it is not clear how we would concretely continue to support and move them forward. Ms. Albright told us that Clinton is building an underbelly of women like threads who will surface and help the cause.
it was stated that there is a disconnect between the way the USA sees the problem and the way the Afghans see it. It is common knowledge schools are burned and school girls poisoned.
They stated the Taliban is supported by Pakistan, That we are better off negotiating with Pakistan than the Taliban and that the negotiations should be on policy.
It was a chilling moment when the moderator asked the women what other organizations help the Afghan Women's Network. There was dead silence. After a pregnant pause, the moderator stated "The silence is the answer". It was chilling. Th Afghan panel members seemed scared at the thoughts of the future.I spoke with many Afghan women after the panel and could see the concern and fear in their eyes, wanting the future to be better but not trusting that it will be.
Despite this, there has been progress since the US entered Afghanistan in 2001 such as today 3 million girls go to school compared to none under the Taliban. Women make up 20% of college graduates and this is on the increase.Maternal and infant mortality has declined significantly. 10% of prosecutors and judges are female compared to none in 2001.
This is good news but it is clear from my time at the conference that the U.S. has a to have a specific plan in order fr womens rights before we completely pull out and it must be executed before we leave in order to keep progress. It also seemed that the whole panel was terrified at the tenuous situation and what could come next.
I don't know the answer or even a part of the answer in terms of what I can do and that terrifies and pains me greatly.
After the conference we walked 30 minutes to historic Navy Pier and flew kites for good luck to womens right.Actually, out of the 150 attendees at the conference, less than 100 went on to fly kites. This is in some ways telling. I hope I am being unnecessarily negative and that I am wrong about the caring through actions.
it is important to me that I have comments from you regarding this subject.
You can learn more by googling the Afghan womens shadow conference in Chicago.
I hope you will care enough to do that.
Thank you.

text: Billy Collier (Hayes) is an aspiring photographer in Los Angeles who has had little artistic success and much romantic frustration. He comes up with the idea of recreating iconic screen kisses from Hollywood movies (such as Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr's in From Here to Eternity) using drag queens in the female roles. While out for coffee with his roommate Georgiana (Lynn), he meets Gabriel (Rowe), the server. That night at a party, Billy's friend Perry (Ganoung) agrees to finance Billy's Screen Kiss project and Billy serendipitously runs into Gabriel. Billy recruits him to model and the two develop a friendship (although Gabriel says that he has a girlfriend in San Francisco). Billy quickly becomes infatuated with Gabriel but cannot figure out if Gabriel is really straight; Gabriel does little to help, continually sending ambiguous signals. At Perry's invitation, the two attend an exhibit by photographer Rex Webster, who tries to poach Gabriel as a model (and potential trick). Webster offers to take Gabriel to Catalina Island for an underwear ad shoot, sparking Billy's jealousy. Back at Gabriel's place, Billy and Gabriel seem to be getting closer but their rapport is interrupted by a phone call from Gabriel's girlfriend Natalie. Billy shoots his first setup with Gabriel, the Lancaster-Kerr kiss. Following the shoot, Gabriel tells Billy that his relationship with Natalie is over. Billy mentions the Kinsey scale, on which Billy describes himself as a "perfect six," but Gabriel admits he does not know where on the scale he falls. Back at Billy's apartment, they continue to talk and drink and Gabriel asks if he can spend the night on the couch. Billy suggests that Gabriel sleep in his bed (ostensibly because of Gabriel's height), to which Gabriel eventually agrees. When the two are in bed, Billy makes tentative overtures, to which Gabriel seems to respond initially; however, Gabriel suddenly pulls away, after which Billy apologizes and gets up to sleep on the couch. Brad Rowe and Sean Hayes in Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss Gabriel gets the underwear modeling job and goes to Catalina. Billy follows after him to Catalina with Georgiana (who, on the rebound from her boyfriend Andrew, hooks up with drug-addled island resident "Gundy"). Billy crashes Rex Webster's underwear shoot looking for Gabriel but does not find him. Billy eventually tracks Gabriel down at Rex's party later that night and the two talk on the beach. Billy relates to Gabriel how confused he was when he came out, saying, "I swore to myself that if I could ever be there for somebody, I would, so that that person wouldn't have to go through all the shit I went through. What I'm trying to say is, if you're having problems figuring out where you stand, even if you're not sure of what you're supposed to want"; however, before Billy can finish, one of Gabriel's fellow models comes up. Billy realizes that the two of them are together and Gabriel tells him straightforwardly, "Billy, I'm pretty sure what I'm supposed to want." Gabriel tries to soften the blow, but Billy rebuffs him. Billy feels hurt and even wonders if Gabriel used him to get his modeling career off the ground. Later, Perry tries to console Billy, telling him that a few years earlier Perry had similarly fallen for someone who did not return his affections; Perry confesses that that man was Billy. The next morning Georgiana has ditched Gundy and Billy and Georgiana head back home. The movie ends with the opening of Billy's "Hollywood Screen Kiss" series exhibition, which includes his photos of Gabriel. Perry shows Billy a magazine with an underwear ad featuring Gabriel and suggests that Billy give him a call. Billy demurs, saying he needs some time away. Toward the end of the night, Billy meets Joshua, suggesting that along with his newfound artistic success Billy may at last find romantic fulfilment as well. The film is punctuated with Billy's fantasy sequences of himself and Gabriel in pastiches of romantic film scenes, including the aforementioned From Here to Eternity and the films of Fred Astaire. Billy carries a Polaroid camera with him everywhere, and his reminiscences are illustrated with Polaroid photographs. The film in fact opens with such a monologue, with Billy relying on a series of Polaroids while relating how he grew up gay "in a small town in Indiana, where there's plenty of corn, fast cars, and straights. Lots and lots of straights. I mean, a lot." Billy's opening narrative demonstrates his awareness that he is in a film and breaking the fourth wall. Several scenes in the movie are backed up by classic songs of bygone times sung by famous and lesser known divas; these are lip-synced by more or less the same troupe of drag queens, a running gag throughout the film.

I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief.... For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.Wendell Berry
Only in return for death, destruction and grief as gifts can we see the paradise of independence.Vellupillai Pirapakaran
Alone! that worn-out word, So idly spoken, and so coldly heard; Yet all that poets sing and grief hath known Of hopes laid waste, knells in that word ALONE!Edward George Earl Bulwer Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
First melted off the hope of youth Then Fancy's rainbow fast withdrew And then experience told me truth In mortal bosoms never grew 'Twas grief enough to think mankind All hollow servile insincere But worse to trust to my own mind And find the same corruption thereEmily Jane Bront
There are some men above grief and some men below it.Ralph Waldo Emerson
Give sorrow words. The grief that does not speak whispers the o'er-fraught heart, and bids it break.William Shakespeare
The only thing grief as taught me is to know how shallow it is.Ralph Waldo Emerson
Some of your hurts you have cured, And the sharpest you still have survived, But what torments of grief you endured From the evil which never arrivedRalph Waldo Emerson
Human life consists in mutual service. No grief, pain, misfortune, or broken heart, is excuse for cutting off one's life while any power of service remains. But when all usefulness is over, when one is assured of an unavoidable and imminent death, it is the simplest of human rights to choose a quick and easy death in place of a slow and horrible one.Charlotte P. Gillman
There is neither happiness nor misery in the world; there is only the comparison of one state to another, nothing more. He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness. We must have felt what it is to die, that we may appreciate the enjoyments of life.Alexandre Dumas
Anger wishes that all mankind had only one neck; love, that it had only one heart; grief, two tear-glands; and pride, two bent knees.Jean Paul Richter
To rejoice in another's prosperity is to give content to your lot; to mitigate another's grief is to alleviate or dispel your ownTryon Edwards
Happiness is beneficial for the body, but it is grief that develops the powers of the mindMarcel Proust
Grief is a species of idleness.Samuel Johnson
Hired mourners at a funeral say and do - A little more than they whose grief is trueHorace
She was no longer wrestling with the grief, but could sit down with it as a lasting companion and make it a sharer in her thoughts.George Eliot
Joy comes, grief goes, we know not howJames Russell Lowell
The end of an ox is beef, and the end of a lie is griefAfrican Proverb
Grief drives men into habits of serious reflection, sharpens the understanding, and softens the heartJohn Adams
If you would have me weep, you must first of all feel grief yourself.Horace

The Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the 2010 health care law on Thursday in a decision affirming the government's power to tax Americans who don't show they have health insurance on their tax returns starting in 2014. The justices also ruled, however, that states may opt out of the law's significant expansion of the Medicaid health care program without losing all of their federal Medicaid funds.
The health care law expands the Medicaid program to help low income families and adults with incomes up to 133 percent of the federal poverty level. Over 90% of the increased costs would be paid by the federal government. Because five percent of an applicant's income is disregarded, the effective threshold is 138 percent of the poverty level, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). As a result of the ruling, some states may choose not to participate in the expanded program. In the ruling, the court found that the law "transformed" Medicaid beyond what states could have reasonably expected. "It is no longer a program to care for the neediest among us, but rather an element of a comprehensive national plan to provide universal health insurance coverage," Chief Justice Roberts wrote. "As a practical matter," he wrote, "states may now choose to reject expansion; that is the whole point."
Democratic senators on Tuesday urged lawmakers in both chambers to end their impasse over reauthorizing a major domestic violence law, two months after the Senate passed a bipartisan measure. There are few signs, however, that closed-door talks over the renewal of the Violence Against Women Act are making progress. Busy floor schedules, the July Fourth and August recesses and the election season could conspire to derail the reauthorization until the end of the fiscal year or later. Democratic Sens. Daniel K. Akaka of Hawaii, Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and Patty Murray of Washington appeared Tuesday with advocates for domestic violence victims to urge a resolution to the standoff over the 1994 law.
House lawmakers this week will reach the halfway point in moving fiscal 2013 appropriations bills through the chamber, even as Senate leaders try to identify which spending bills they will try to move alongside the House efforts. Senate Appropriations Chairman Daniel K. Inouye (D, HA) said no decision has been made on which of his committee's bills will move to the floor first. The Senate is facing a tight calendar, but a Democratic leadership aide said Monday that there still are plans to bring some fiscal 2013 spending bills to the floor next month. Most observers agree that just a few spending measures will reach the chamber's floor this summer. Most agencies and programs will run under a "continuing resolution" once the new fiscal year begins on October 1
The House Budget Committee unanimously backed legislation Wednesday that would require the Obama administration to provide details about the impact of across-the-board automatic spending cuts set to take effect in January. Adding to mounting pressure on the administration from Republicans and Democrats alike, the House panel approved the bill (HR 5872) on a 30-0 vote. The measure would require the report within 30 days.
The House on Wednesday rejected efforts to cut increases to funding for Department of Housing and Urban Development programs and offices during debate on the fiscal 2013 Transportation-HUD spending bill (HR 5972). By early Wednesday evening, the chamber had rejected two amendments targeting the Community Development Block Grant program, which the measure would boost by $396 million above current levels. The chamber rejected an amendment by Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R, UT) to maintain funding at the fiscal 2012 level and rejected by an overwhelming margin an amendment by Rep. Tom McClintock to eliminate funding for the entire program and others funded by its account. The House is expected to vote on final passage of the bill today.
House Speaker John A. Boehner, R-Ohio, confirmed at a news conference Wednesday that conference negotiators working on a surface transportation reauthorization are moving toward a report "that would also include a one-year fix on student loans." But Boehner did not commit to supporting the Senate-negotiated offsets. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Tuesday that they had reached an agreement on offsets to pay for a $5.9 billion, one-year extension of the current 3.4 percent interest rate for new federally subsidized undergraduate loans. Without congressional action, the interest rate is slated to double July 1. A Boehner spokesman said Wednesday that the Speaker's support for a one-year extension of the student loan interest rate does not necessarily mean that he embraces the details of the Reid-McConnell agreement—including its revenue-raising pay-fors. "We are reviewing the details," said spokesman Michael Steel..
The House Ways and Means Select Revenue Measures and Human Resources Subcommittees on Wednesday held a joint hearing on "How Welfare and Tax Benefits Can Discourage Work." To read the statements of Members and witnesses, go to http://waysandmeans.house.gov/Calendar/EventSingle.aspx?EventID=300261
THE WEEK AHEAD… Both the House and Senate will be in recess next week for the July Fourth holiday.

The anonymous Seattle parents of a severely disabled girl (she has the mental capacity of a three-
yearmonth-old) have revealed that they surgically modified their daughter, giving her hormone treatments and removing some of her internal organs to keep her small and childlike and thus easier to move around and "involve in family activities."
Along with hormone doses to limit her growth, Ashley's parents also opted for surgery to block breast growth and had her uterus and appendix removed.Link (Thanks, Angelina!)
They say the treatment will help to improve her quality of life...
Ashley's parents say that because she will remain the weight of a child, it will be easier for them to move her around, bathe her and involve her in family activities - movement that will benefit her physical and mental well-being.

text: We hired the whole establishment for our son's wedding on a sunny Friday, July 12, 2013. It was just superb, not one dissonant: when the about 150 guests, coming from over 15 countries (a.o. UK, Belgium, Israël, Australia, Poland, China, Turkey, Spain, Italy...) arrived they where welcomed with bubbles, Pimm's and fine canapées. After we had a buffet of starters, main course buffet and wide choice of desert and English cheeses. All menu inspired in fact on typical English food. Even the 25 Belgian connaissers liked it very much. Dan and his 18 people staff did the utmost to make this day unforgettable and to create a warm atmospere and they succeeded wonderful!!! I can only recommend this establishment with whole my heart.
