The Balkan Lessons for Syria
May 3, 2012 by TMO
How many more innocents have to die in Syria before the international community decides to act?
By Aijaz Zaka Syed
As Syria burns and increasingly looks like a giant, towering inferno with its helpless people trapped inside desperately crying out for help, I've been wondering: How would the Muslim world have reacted if the Nero in Damascus wasn't a Muslim?
Would we still be lolling in our hammocks politely offering our profound but pointless sympathies and moral platitudes? If it had been a 'heathen' regime persecuting the believers in Syria, the Muslims would have been out on the streets across the globe, calling for jihad against the Baathist regime and demanding Bashar Assad's head.
Unfortunately for Syria's condemned people, Assad and his bloodthirsty brutes pretend to be from amongst us. Just as Iraq's Saddam Hussein and Libya's Muammar Qaddafi did even as they invented every possible atrocity to torment their people. This is perhaps why the Arabs have largely tolerated the crimes against humanity in Syria, just as they did over those in Sudan's Darfur.
So even as their own army rains down death and destruction on their homes, all the Syrian people could expect from the fellow Arabs and Muslims is mere lip service and profoundly pointless UN resolutions and peace plans.
But then this is a familiar story across the region. The so-called Arab socialist republics repeatedly prove themselves the worst enemies of their own people. Indeed, in their matter-of-fact, murderous brutality, they are even worse than the Israelis.
Again, unfortunately for the Syrian people, they do not have oil — at least not as much as to rouse the West's democratic sensibilities. So Uncle Sam and his pals who invented all sorts of rather original pretexts to take out Saddam — and later Qaddafi — insist that time is not right for the "international community to intervene" in Syria yet.
Ten thousand people have been butchered in their homes, entire cities have been razed, hundreds of thousands have fled to neighboring countries and time is still not right?
Clearly, when Western interests clash with Western ideals, ideals lose hands down. And the Western interests apparently lie in the continuance of the hated regime in Damascus. Even Israel that all these years saw Syria as a challenge to its tyranny and hegemony doesn't want to see the regime collapse, the fear being that the Islamists could replace the Baathists — just as they have in Tunisia, Libya, and appear all set to, in Egypt. This appears to be the sole reason for the uncharacteristic Western reluctance to get too involved in Syria.
God knows I am no fan of Western intervention and there are a million reasons why — from Vietnam to Afghanistan to Iraq. This is no time to go into that all too familiar and sordid history. However, if there's one country that really and badly needs international intervention, it is Syria.
It is more than a year now since the Syrians came out on the streets, respectfully and rather diffidently demanding a bit of Arab Spring of their own. And look what they have got in return. For the past one year or so, no day has passed without the brave Syrian Army killing the people it is supposed to protect in scores with clinical, dispassionate brutality.
All attempts by the Arab and Muslim countries and international community have failed to rein in the ruthless killers in Damascus. Poor Kofi Annan! The former UN chief known for his soft touch and diplomatic skills, has exhausted himself shuttling between Damascus and world capitals but has gotten nowhere.
Tanks and gunships continue to pound Syrian cities and towns with impunity even as Assad benignly indulges Annan, playing the diplomatic poker game with remarkable seriousness. Clearly, he has drawn no lessons from the fate of Saddam, Qaddafi and other fellow travelers. Or he is confident, like all of them were, that he can get away with murder.
The question is how many innocent people, including women and children, must die before the international community decides enough is enough?
What is the magic number, as the former US ambassador to NATO Kurt Volker forcefully asked this week, at which the world community concludes it is time to act?
Killing of 10,000 civilians not good enough to justify the international action? What is the use of the United Nations and its fine institutions if they cannot stop this endless bloodletting and extermination of a people at the hands of their own government?
It is this diplomatic dithering and lack of courage of the world community that claimed thousands of precious lives in the Balkans, giving the world a new word called "ethnic cleansing." As Volker recalls, it was the US and European reluctance to rein in the Serbian Army and warlords for more than two years that resulted in the loss of thousands of precious lives in the former Yugoslavia.
It took the catastrophe of Srebrenica in which nearly 10,000 young Muslim boys and men were killed in cold blood with their hands tied behind their backs that shook the world's conscience.
Under intense pressure from the Arab-Muslim states, including Saudi Arabia, UAE and Pakistan, President Clinton eventually gave the go-ahead for a UN-NATO peace-keeping force led by 20,000 US soldiers.
It was the combined US-NATO air power and the persuasive powers of the late Richard Holbrooke that ended the genocide of the ethnic Albanians and the biggest conflict in the post War Europe. It was without doubt the finest hour of the Clinton administration and the transatlantic alliance.
Interestingly, around the same time, another ethnic conflict was raging in the distant Africa. But by the time the world community woke up and responded to the unprecedented ethnic cleansing in Rwanda, it was already too late. A staggering number of 800,000 people from the Tutsi community were hacked to pieces by the Hutu majority.
What is going on in Syria is of course very different from what happened in Rwanda or Kosovo and Bosnia Herzegovina. But those one-sided wars offer vital lessons in dealing with the one in Syria.
The key lesson is that international action — or lack of it — often proves that critical, vital difference between life and death for thousands.
While I am all for national sovereignty and against the world powers' tendency to throw their weight around, when thousands of precious lives are at stake, the international community has no option but to act.
But it must be done under the UN stewardship, not by individual world powers with their respective cliques.
The world needs to act on Syria before it's too late. It mustn't wait for another Srebrenica-like atrocity to scramble into action. The Baathists have already demonstrated with deadly effect that they could go to any extent to hold on to power. They did it before when Hafez Assad sent in the tanks in 1982 to crack down on the Islamists in Hama, killing more than 10,000 people. We will see more such massacres, if his diabolic doctor son isn't stopped — and soon. Enough of inane international grandstanding and worthless diplomatic games.

Point-Counterpoint: Can Toning Shoes Have A Legitimate Impact?
5. Patient selection is essential to the success of prescribing rocker-sole shoes. Healthy, able-bodied adults, obese patients and patients experiencing plantar foot pains will benefit from the use of rocker-soled shoes. On the other hand, do not prescribe rocker-sole shoes to patients at risk for falls, patients with compromised balance and patients who are severely out of shape.6
In Conclusion
While more studies need to occur to establish the efficacy of rocker-sole shoes on exercise, they will become a fixture of every podiatric practice simply because the aggressive advertising campaigns of the manufacturers place them front and center in the minds of almost every patient entering our offices.
Every podiatrist needs to have a basic understanding of the shoes' effects on the human foot in order to take proper precautions and place shoes in an appropriate position in the treatment armamentarium.

39 ° Fair
While the President's Environmental Issues Council (PEIC) wasn't officially created until the summer of 2005, there have been a variety of campus initiatives to promote conservation and environmental stewardship throught the College's history. Below is a chronology of activities related to environmental issues and actions.
April 22, 1970: Virginia Wesleyan observes the first National Earth Day by showing films about pollution and inviting Norfolk and Virginia Beach City Council members for a discussion about pollution.
January 1977: January term course offered: "Focus on Garbage: Can Solid Waste Feasibly be Recycled or Recovered as an Energy Source?" One outcome was a recycling program on campus with students monitoring recycling containers in the dorms and at the public drop-off. The program lasted until students graduated.
1985: The Student Environmental Awareness League (S.E.A.L.) is established to raise consciousness of current issues in the environment.
May 21, 1990: Virginia Wesleyan's campus is designated as a bird sanctuary through a City of Virginia Beach ordinance.
Spring 1992: Students, faculty and staff members vigorously protest the destruction of part of the old-growth beech forest during a new construction project. The protest, based on environmental concerns, leads to modification of the location of a future project and calls attention to the fact that the campus contains an historic stand of trees.
June 19-21, 1992: The Virginia Beach public schools gifted program brings 100 high school students from across the state to a Student Congress on the Environment at Virginia Wesleyan.
Fall 1992: In a second attempt at campus-wide recycling program, an MBE 301 class distributes flyers listing Virginia Beach recycling locations and works with a campus committee to establish a campus-wide recycling program beginning with the spring semester.
April 10, 1992: The Virginia Department of Natural Science's Division of Natural Heritage recognizes the old growth American Beech forest at Virginia Wesleyan as a natural heritage resource.
Fall 1995: An ice storage system is built in which ice is created at night. In conjunction with night set-backs, this means lower electrical usage at night while allowing a chiller to be shut down during the day, reducing the electrical generation facilities needed due to reducing peak demand.
2001 | 2002 | 2004 | 2005 | 2006 | 2007
2001: Virginia Wesleyan receives an Award of Merit from the Virginia Beach Council of Garden Clubs and the Virginia Beach Beautification Commission.
January 2002: Arising from a one-credit course taught by an interested faculty member, beehives are installed on campus by the newly formed Wesleyan Beekeepers Association. At a time when bees are in jeopardy, Virginia Wesleyan's beekeepers continue to learn about bees and care for the hives on campus.
Spring 2004: S.E.A.L. installs 10 bat boxes on campus. Virginia Wesleyan's campus is an ideal roosting ground for the bats with its many tree hollows and holes. The boxes create safety from bats' predators, and bats will provide opportunities for biology and ecology students to better understand the species.
Fall 2005 S.E.A.L. installs 10 Bluebird boxes, providing additional nesting sites for cavity-nesting birds, near the Wilson Arboretum, cross country trail and by Lake Taylor.
Fall 2005: The Marlin Wheels program allows for environmentally-friendly bicycle travel on campus. The program began for the first time in 2003 and was re-instated in 2005.
2005: Platinum Green Laboratory Science Building Plans Developed. The creation of a LEED-certified platinum level green laboratory science building and leading programs in environmental science and environmental studies can best be launched on a "green" campus. While the $17.3 million green science building is in the planning phases, many elements of the green campus are in the implementation phase.
Spring 2005: Marlin Express Established. The Marlin Express is a free transportation service to all Virginia Wesleyan students. The Express gives students a reliable mode of group transportation the Virginia Beach Town Center and Downtown Norfolk.
Spring 2005: College Receives Grant from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Virginia Wesleyan received a $10,000 P3 grant from the EPA in 2005 to study the optimal design of a green or vegetative roof. The goals of phase I were: to assess the benefits of installing green roofs on our campus buildings, to optimize the design of green roofs in our region, and to recommend a roof design to the College for implementation on older buildings scheduled for roof replacement and for the new science building.
April 2005: College partners with Virginia Aquarium to build Research Vessel. The 42-foot research and education vessel will be used by a variety of faculty and students in the Division of Natural Sciences and Mathematics and the Virginia Aquarium Stranding Team. At least seven Wesleyan classes will use the research vessel for field trips including oceanography, marine biology, ecology, environmental chemistry, and environmental geology. The vessel will enhance research efforts, contributing to our knowledge of the ocean environment and enabling students to be part of solving real problems.
May 2005: The College hosts a day-long workshop entitled, "The Greening of Virginia Wesleyan" on May 31, 2005 on campus. The session highlighted five nationally respected experts who spoke on topics ranging from "Promoting Sustainable Planning at a Small Liberal Arts College" to "Sustaining the Euphoria After a Green Building" to "Establishing a Distinguished Environmental Studies Program." In addition to nationally recognized experts, more than 25 faculty and staff from the College participated in the brainstorming and planning meeting.
June 2005: The green initiative was introduced to the College's Strategic Planning Committee during the week of June 20, 2005. President Greer and the College's Administrative Council directed the group to incorporate the green initiative into their planning and to provide necessary feedback and participation.

Usability criteria for automated debugging systems
- Nahid Shahmehri,

Much of the current discussion around automated debugging systems is centered around various technical issues. In contrast, this paper focuses on user oriented usability criteria for automated debugging systems, and reviews several systems according to these criteria. We introduce four usability criteria: generality, cognitive plausibility, degree of automation and appreciation of the user's expertise. A debugging system which is general is able to understand a program without restrictive assumptions about the class of algorithms, the implementation, etc. A cognitively plausible debugging system supports debugging according to the user's mental model, e.g. by supporting several levels of abstraction and directions of bug localization. A high degree of automation means that fewer interactions with the user are required to find a bug. A debugging system that appreciates the user's expertise is suitable for both expert and novice programmers, and has the ability to take advantage of the additional knowledge of an expert programmer to speed up and improve the debugging process. Existing automated debugging systems fulfill these user-oriented requirements to a varying degree. However, many improvements are still needed to make automated debugging systems attractive to a broad range of users.

Hi there Rian, don't think its a Buddhas Temple (BT) you have there, but may be wrong. Not got one myself yet but have watched BT's go way over my budget on ebayUK recently!! In my opinion BT's have thinner leaves, more angular 4 sidedness (made that word up I think!) they're a bit like a 4 pointed star, indents in the leaves running up to the tips, and a distinct 4 legged cross when viewed from above. Google for BT 'images' and also for 'stacked crassulas' will give you a link that can't be posted on here.....as a Gweb message has just informed me when I did a preview. Great pics BTW! Gill from the snowy UK. |

Call me greedy, but in addition to wanting to steal Eva Mendes boyfriend (you know, Ryan Gosling), I also wouldn't mind stealing her wardrobe. Unfortunately, her closet is typically filled with Valentino and Miu Miu and Rachel Comey and other designers I can't really afford … until now! This week, Eva launched her own collection with NY & Co. and stopped by "Good Morning America" to promote it wearing this ladylike ensemble. Dummy that I am, I spent about 20 minutes searching for a similar dress to the rose-printed frock she's wearing above, until it occurred to me that it might be from her line. Sure enough, it is — and so is that baby pink coat. So now we really and seriously can shop from Eva's closet — and at an affordable price point too. Super hot boyfriend not included, sadly. Check out the shopping details after the jump! Keep reading »

Havin' a bad day?
Things Got You Down? Well Then, Consider These . . ..
In a hospital's Intensive Care Unit, patients always died in the same bed, on Sunday morning, at about 11:00 am , regardless of their medical condition. This puzzled the doctors and some even thought it had something to do with the super natural.
Where was Billy?
Seems kinda funny, Billy was out last week and now Bil-Laden is dead. Wow, wonder if Osama was riding on the back of Billy's bike....
Smurfing the Rocky Road
Today is the day I do my yard work. Thankful for all the leaves on the ground that help my grass to grow. I went to the Mandarin House for dinner last night. Price "Thumbs up", Service "Thumbs up", Taste "Finger Down the Throat". Over all, if you wanna get full on the cheap, this is your place. If you expect taste, you might go ahead and bring some with you. Now off to get fertilizer and something blue...
In Japan, we call this "rail"
I hope all who read this weblog are ok after the storms, Except for Billy Kid, who doesn't.
Pork rinds for everyone!
Went to Wokhay with a couple of friends the other day. This was the second visit to the same location "you can't judge a place by one visit" off Merchants dr. The food taste was consistant, service was good, price was a little high "good thing I had a coupon" but I was taken back when I was told if I wanted the rice that came with the meal fried, it would be a dollar extra. For the size of the portions "which were quite small", I think they could change that policy. Over all, taste gets" a thumbs up", service "a thumbs up", price "no thumb" and over all value without a coupon "thumbs up".
Why does Billy hate me?
Every day I wait for Billy to turn on his mic so I can pass by and make fart noises. Why does Billy hate me?
Fine...be like that!
It can rain at any time of the year, but it only snows around winter. I tried Arby's New Swiss and Meat sandwich. not bad. I give it one thumb up. I wish the had Coke products. And have ya noticed that no matter where ya go, they always have Dr. Pepper? Man, I wish I had me some crawfish...
Tyler Huber military funeral with full honors
Thanks to all the bikers, Blood Brothers, Iron Pigs, Shepherds, etc. who rode out to pay final respects to Tyler and his family. His father wanted riders present, and we came in full force! The family was very appreciative. Thanks again! R.I.P Tyler
Eyes crossed
Why is Chick Fillet so additive ??? It's only chicken...But it is ssssoooo good. I will soon be rating food in Knoxville "since I'm a food snob anyway" and posting the findings here. To keep it simple, I'll have a thumbs up, thumbs down and index finger in the mouth. Hope ya'll paid yer taxes, helps me to justify get'in my money back. Look, better you than me.

VATICAN LETTER (UPDATED) Oct-15-2012 (730 words) Backgrounder. With photos. xxxi
Fifty years later, a bishop remembers Vatican II
By Francis X. Rocca
Catholic News Service
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- It was Oct. 11, 1962, and the bishop of Inchon, Korea, was walking in a procession of more than 2,200 other bishops into St. Peter's Basilica on the opening day of the Second Vatican Council.
"Every light was on in the basilica because of television," said the bishop, ordained for the Maryknoll order. "Literally, my mouth dropped as I walked in and looked up. Because I was used to little tiny chapels, small churches in Korea. This was unbelievable.
"I thought I was at the gate of heaven," said Bishop William J. McNaughton, speaking about his first visit to Rome.
Fifty years later to the day, the U.S.-born bishop was back, one of 15 council fathers -- out of the 70 still alive -- who made it to an outdoor Mass in St. Peter's Square marking the golden anniversary of that momentous event.
Bishop McNaughton, 85, attended all four sessions of Vatican II from 1962 to 1965, missing only two days because of illness.
He said the council's "greatest highlight" was the approval of "Lumen Gentium," the Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, "a magnificent document" that dedicates an entire chapter to the subject of the "people of God."
That term has sometimes been interpreted as a reference to the laity, the bishop said, but a reading of the constitution should make it clear that it refers to everyone in the church, including the pope and the bishops.
Bishop McNaughton speaks with regret of other instances of ignorance or misunderstanding of the documents of Vatican II.
The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, "Sacrosanctum Concilium," authorized moving the tabernacle that houses the Eucharist to a separate devotional chapel, he said, but many pastors simply shunted it off to the side of the main sanctuary.
"I thought that was a big mistake," the bishop said. "People today do not have a full understanding of what the tabernacle means, and it's that Christ is present in the Eucharist in the tabernacle."
The same document called for fewer statues in churches, but some authorities "just removed all statues and put our Blessed Mother's statue out in a corridor, or out in the lobby," he said. "It was obvious they were not reading this document."
"Perfectae Caritatis," the Decree on the Appropriate Renewal of the Religious Life, directed religious women to modify their habits according to the "circumstances of time and place and to the needs of the ministry involved."
"It didn't say that the habits would be removed, and I think that was a big mistake," the bishop said, because the habit is a "sign of consecration."
To correct and prevent such misunderstandings, the bishop enthusiastically endorses Pope Benedict's call for Catholics to reread the council documents as part of their observance of the Year of Faith, which opened with the Oct. 11 anniversary Mass.
The bishop also agrees with Pope Benedict's teaching, reiterated by the pope at an audience with the council fathers Oct. 12, that Vatican II must be understood in continuity with the church's millennial traditions, not as a radical break with the past.
"There's no rupture in the documents of the Second Vatican Council with previous councils, the previous teaching of the church," Bishop McNaughton said.
"Look at the footnotes," he said. "There's constant reference to the various ecumenical councils of the church ... and also there's a lot of reference to the fathers of the church. So it is a continuity."
The bishop accordingly rejects arguments that the council was somehow to blame for the decline in Catholic observance and the rise of secularism over the subsequent half century, especially in Europe and elsewhere in the West.
"The council didn't cause this," he said, noting for example that "Gaudium et Spes," the Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern Word, is explicit in its condemnation of abortion, which the bishop points to repeatedly as a characteristic evil of today's "pagan world."
Winning back that world for the church is the aim of the new evangelization, the subject of a three-week world Synod of Bishops that opened at the Vatican Oct. 7. However unpromising the political landscape may appear for that project, Bishop McNaughton is ultimately hopeful.
"It's the grace of God that's going to do it, we're just instruments," he said. "It's through prayer and sacrifices, hidden penances, that we will help to bring many back to the faith."

Two weeks ago we proved that we knew what was best for you by sharing with you nuggets of wisdom and inspiration from one of America's finest, most passionate thespians and national treasures… one Mr. Nicolas Cage…
…and this week we show you that while we still know what's best for you, we're simply just not going to give you what you want. No, we're not. Instead what we have for you is what you need… The words of one of the acting profession's rising stars, Matthew McConaughey.
"There aren't many things that are universally cool, and it's cool not to litter. I'd never do it."
"No computer, no gadget, no trickery. I am an animal, it is a plant. I will beat the weed!"
"I love having my hands in the dirt. It is never a science and always an art. There are no rules. And if it comes down to me versus that weed I'm trying to pull out of the ground that doesn't want to come out? I know I'll win."
"A lot of people don't understand friendship and brotherhood. I have a great friend in him. I'd do anything he asked me to, even though he'd probably never ask me to, and he feels the same way. It's fun going out and living life and doing things at the drop of a hat. LiveStrong just happens to be the most deliberate guy I've ever met."
-on denying that he and Lance Armstrong are gay. They're just friends, they tell People magazine..
Also, Armstrong's nickname for McConaughey is "Redneck Buddha."
"All the best things that have happened to me, happened in the water. Every one."
-from Sahara.
"That's what I love about these high school girls, man. I get older, they stay the same age."
…from Richard Linklater's Dazed And Confused.
"Life is a series of commas, not periods."
"Be the lean horse for the long ride. I figure I am in the third round of a 15 round fight."
"It's going to be in the orchards and it's going to bear some wonderful fruit. When I was in Australia, they had a placenta tree that was on the river … and all the placentas of all that tribe, all that clan, whatever aboriginal tribe that was, all the placentas went under that one tree and it was this huge behemoth of just health and strength. This tree was just growing taller and stronger above the rest of Mother Nature around it. It was gorgeous."
-on why he's planting his son's placenta in an orchard.
"I love it. It's silly to say that it is a world of false and stupid people. Sure there are witches and swindlers, but you can meet there many creative, talented and generous persons too. Hollywood is a pleasant place, when you are hip to the game and you enjoy it for what it is really."
"There are certain nights you and your image just aren't in the same bed."
"My best quality is that I`m a big hearted person. I`m resilient, too. My worst quality is selfishness, although everyone is guilty of that to an extent. Everyone should be, I think — you need to respect yourself."
"The older you get, the more rules they are going to try and get you to follow. You just gotta keep on livin', man. L-I-V-I-N."

A plea to one, noble and bright ... from Hosea
Contextually, from Hosea to Israel regarding her moral waywardness and the breach of her convenantal relationship with the Lord. Applicaton to a single person, as above, my own.
In wickedness, you plow and reap
The fruits, of dark iniquity
His holy word, you fail to keep
But trust your errant, willful way
Oh, stubborn, long divided heart
Your altars, will be overturned
He'll smite and wound, and tear apart
And judge the soul, who grace hath spurned
Seek ye the LORD, with holy fear
And He will send the promised rain
Of righteousness, and will draw near
To bind and heal, your life again
Recent meanderings took me on a journey from Revelation to Daniel and on through Hosea. So many wonderful images and awesome thoughts. The word of God is amazing! As I came to the end of Revelation, I realised that there are strong parallels between chapter 20 and a recently read passage in Isaiah that is very dear to my heart. The same thought continues on through Hosea. I really must buy a bible with a margin, but in some ways, when you stumble upon things like this, it is pretty neat! I gleaned from my journey through Revelation, Job and now Hosea, that wisdom and the fear of the LORD are inextricably linked. How good is the God we adore! What a treasure we have in his Word.

I've seen them advertised but wonder if they work. Also,
do they loosen gems with the sonic waves??? HSN was selling one the other day and I have seen them in good catalogs and bad....just wondering. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have a sonic cleaner at the optical shop where I work and I also use it to clean jewelry. They do work well, though I think some things like pearls shouldn't be put in them. One person had a small dimond come out of her ring, I guess it was loose and she didn't know. |
I worked in a jewelry store for several years and the sonic cleaner was great. Happyladi was right, you shouldn't put pearls in a sonic cleaner, and not opals either. But it works great on just about everything else. Be sure and double check the instructions for other restrictions, but I remember using a sonic cleaner all the time for great results. One of my favortie things to do at the jewelry store was to clean people's jewelry. Everyone was so happy when they got their clean jewelry back. Wedding bands were the best - I'd buff them and then clean them in the sonic and could make a ten year old gold band look brand new. And I got to do it for free. :) A sonic cleaner shouldn't affect settings. If a setting is already quite loose, then maybe it would shake the stone out, but if the stone is actually that loose, better it come out in a cleaner where the stone can be found. I've never bought off HSN, and I'm suspicious of buying things I haven't seen. If I were you, I'd go to a professional jewelry store and see what they recommend or sell. If you end up getting a sonic cleaner, I think you'll be glad you did. |
Thank you both...I think I need this and it would make good gifts too. Lostleaf did you buff the jewelry with a jeweler's cloth that had rouge on it??? curious. |
I got a bottle of something similar from qvc and it worked well for me. But, I agree with the other poster to check with jewelry store, especially if it's worth a lot. |

Car Suspension
A car suspension system basically sits between the main body of a vehicle and the wheels that run it, connecting the two together. This kind of system plays a couple of important roles in the smooth running of any vehicle by its use of a complex inter-connected system that includes items such as shock absorbers and springs.
The primary aim of a car suspension system is the help the car ride the road better. Without it the car would feel every bump and pothole which could damage the vehicle as well as give the passengers an uncomfortable ride. On a technical and safety level this means that the suspension hugs the road as it should and that it can therefore be braked effectively. The system can also play a part in how any car 'handles' which can make for a smoother ride.
Not having a car suspension system would also make for a far less comfortable ride for the driver and the passengers. This system absorbs some of the bumps and uneven points of a road to give a smoother and more even drive. Without it, anyone in the vehicle would feel every small bump and hole in the road as they drove over it.
Although today's car suspension systems are extremely well-developed, people have been trying to make vehicles run more smoothly and to give a smoother ride for centuries, even before the birth of the car. It is thought that the Egyptians may have made the first in-roads into designing this kind of system by using a basic form of leaf spring, which was then used in later years in vehicles.
In later centuries the car suspension system as we know it may have got its beginnings in these springs used in horse drawn vehicles. These were pretty basic but still gave more advantages than riding in vehicles that had no springs at all. As cars began to be developed over time the theory behind their suspension system changed to get closer to the type of system we now use.
Today's car suspension systems are finely tuned and involve a lot of technical detail. Today's cars often have two suspension systems in one. One will work with the front of the vehicle and one will work with the back. Addressing both 'ends' in this way is held to have vastly improved the potential benefits of the suspension system as a whole

Can anyone kindly recommend a white or yellow shrub rose that stays small- around 3'x3'? I read about Glamis Castle but there seem to be complaints that the flowers nod on weak stems. My favorite form is the cupped shape of David Austins, but I can be flexible ;-) Fragrance, is a plus, of course, but not mandatory ;-)
Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
A couple of oldish roses-- Kronprinzessin Viktoria, sport of Souvenir de la Malmaison, and the polyantha Katerina (Katharina) Zeimet, both white. KpV has good sized, cuttable, very double, fragrant flowers, near continuous bloom. Prefers warm or hot summers. Will have some winter damage around 5 F. KZ has small, semidouble, very fragrant, pure white flowers. Disease resistant and hardy; glossy dark green foliage. Needs deadheading for good repeat. 2h x 3w. Both of these are relatively untroubled by thrips and Botrytis petal blight, compared to other white roses. |
If you give us a general idea of where you live, that would give more help. A newer rose is Bolero (Bolero 2000), which is has the form that you desire, and is fragrant. It is reported to be disease resistant here, but reports across the country have varied. You might also look up the polyantha White Pet (also called "Little White Pet" in some places). The bloom is smaller (1 to 1.5 inches), but when it is in full flush, it looks almost like a little poodle (with less mess!). I grow it no spray, and it looks good for most of the year. |

One of my currently favorite roses is Tantau's Rokoko. The color at first glance seems to be white but when switching to looking at a white rose it is definitely not white. A color that stands out, cream or buff. The form is also outstanding. A true semi-double with ruffled petals. Long lasting. I don't know how big it will be as mine are new. Books say 4-5' and bushy. It is quite a rarity in this country actually only available, at last count, from 3 Canadian nurseries. |

Irene watts is another lovely rose you might like! very carefree too. |
Here is a link that might be useful: irene watts
'Little White Pet' has been wonderful. I don't know how cold-hardy it is. 'Bolero' is lovely as well, and very fragrant. That 'Cream Abundance' looks absolutely gorgeous, too. Sigh, so many good roses, so little room for them all... |
Mary Magdalene, her fragrance is very much like Tamora, BUT to my nose, she's fragrant anytime of the day unlike Tamora. |
. . . if Scardan's suggestion, "Irene Watts" (aka 'Pink Gruss an Aachen') isn't quite the color you're seeking, check out its sport parent, 'Gruss an Aachen' -- a lovely, creamy white with sometimes a faint tinge of pink. |
Try the floribunda Saratoga. |

I can tell you a rose to avoid. This past season, I got Out of the Night which is related (sport?) of Out of Yesteryear. And it has been a mess. Balling in the heat, balling in the rain. Have never really even seen what its bloom look like unballed. Pope John Paul II has not gotten very large for me. It does not have the Austin flat bloom, but it has a lot of petals as well. Austin doesn't seem to have a very good white that I have seen. My mother in law grew Glamis Castle and it did horribly. The bloom was more rounded and did not open flat. Am still looking for a wonderful smaller flat and fragrance white rose. I'll be paying attention to this thread. Good luck, CJ |
A couple that are new to me that are absolutely WONDERFUL so far are the polyantha "Lullaby" and the floribunda "Louisa Stone". Lullaby is one of those roses that makes you happy every time you walk by it. I don't spray, and both have been perfectly clean. I've had the same experience as CJ with Out of the Night--it's gone now. Lullaby:

Bolero. Small plant, large cupped white blooms, exceedingly fragrant, and completely 100% disease resistant. I stopped spraying last year and since then have decided that this is the perfect rose. |
Northern Accents Ole Rose...stays a very compact 3' X 3'. Blooms in cluster flushes. Has a slight pink blush. |

Pauline and Greenhaven, Cream Abundance is gorgeous as are your photos. I love the touch of peach at the center. MAJAM, I'm glad to see someone else touting Mary Magdeline besides me. I love that rose and your's looks so pretty in that mixed bed. Nancy |
would Bolero look good next to Gemini? |
Well, white roses tend to look good next to about anything. |

White Pet is tidy and blooms well for me. A taller bush that I love is French Lace, which is nearly white for me in the summer when it's warm. Grussie's a favorite- would never want a garden without that rose in it. |

Ten in '10 Healthy Challenge: Week 5 (+ recipes & i-pod song recs)
I've just finished up the first four weeks of the Ten in '10 Healthy Challenge and I'm moving on to week 5. The challenge technically ends on March 13th. For me, the challenge will extend to March 27th (vacation & sick week caused a 2 week delay), though I fully intend to stay on my healthy journey indefinitely (but rather strictly until June).
I'm still pumped-up about the challenge and I'm loving seeing everyone's posts and tweets about making healthy changes. It sure feels great when you make positive, healthy changes in your life, doesn't it?
*My experience with the challenge this week*
*Baking a few decadent treats this week and not nibbling beyond taste-tests. I even had a couple of open bags of chocolate chips and didn't eat any of them at all- not-a-one.
*My weight stayed the same this week, which I was totally happy with. I'm still down a total of 7 pounds from the start date. I'd like to see a loss next week though.
What I've Learned….
*When I begin the day with a good workout, I feel great & positive all day long.
*If I've screwed up for a day (or a week), tomorrow is a new day… and it's usually one where I'm even more energized and motivated than before.
What I still need to work on…
*Resisting wine at 5pm every day. It's a hard habit to break!
*Get back into the routine of everyday workouts.
*Not letting stressful mornings get me down & blow off workout & healthy eating habits.
*Drinking water!! If anyone has tips for how to improve this problem, please let me know. I just don't think about drinking much water during the day (unless it's during and after a workout).
Other stuff….
I have songs to recommend for those of you who like to use an i-pod when you exercise (I could never, ever feel motivated enough to exercise if I didn't have bouncy, boppy music pounding in my ear for an hour). Last year, I published a blog post called "Top 100 Exercise Songs For Your iPod," so check out that post if you're interested.
I tried three wonderful, low fat recipes last week that I'd like to share with you:
Greek Orzo & Lemon- Chicken Soup- It was filling enough for dinner, especially when accompanied by a whole grain roll. My kiddo liked it too but wanted less of the dill flavor.
Baby Spinach Salad with Warm Citrus-Bacon Vinaigrette- the recipe only serves two, so it was perfect to make and then have for lunch over two days time. The mango and apple are wonderful in this salad & since raspberries aren't in season you can always leave those out.
Black Bean- Mango Burritos: I enjoyed these for lunch, and my son enjoyed them for dinner. He initially thought that putting mango and black beans together was a strange idea, but he came around and ended up loving the combination.

Leading Into the Future
When I want to lead into the future, I usually look into the past to see what I can learn from any patterns.
Sensing it was time to make some changes in our church culture, I prayerfully reflected over the different seasons of our church.
I noticed a distinct pattern that repeated itself at least seven times. (I'm not claiming this will be true for everyone, but might be true for many ministries.)
Phase 1: We create something new (new ministry or new innovation).
Phase 2: We recruit and train leaders for the new initiative.
Phase 3: We build systems to support the new effort.
Once the ministry system (or leadership structure) is in place, the ministry runs somewhat effortlessly for a while.
It could be months or even years that God seems to bless this season of ministry. Eventually, it seems that God slowly (or quickly) removes His blessings from what we "we're doing" forcing us to seek Him for something new.
I'll write all week about this.
Have you noticed anything similar in your ministries?

Issuing Attorney General Opinions
It is my duty as Attorney General to issue opinions on questions of law that are of a public nature. My office receives many questions about the opinion process. This guide is intended to provide answers to those inquires. I hope that you find this guide to be a helpful tool. Please do not hesitate to call my office for further assistance.
Attorney General Opinions answer legal questions of a public nature that relate to a public official's duties.
In other words, an Attoney General's Opinion helps to interpret laws and guide state and local officials in applying the laws. An opinion is similiar to a legal precedent and stands until a court or later opinion overrules it or new legislation is enacted to change the statute in question. Opinions are not binding on a court, but are usually given careful consideration and respect.
The most appropriate questions for opinions are questions about inconsistent statutes or legal principles, confusion in the law itself, the constitutionality of a statute or rule, or legal disputes between two government entities.
The Iowa Code allows the following people to request opinions.
The Honorable Thomas J. Miller Attorney General of Iowa Hoover State Office Building Des Moines, Iowa 50319
Iowa Department of Justice Hoover State Office Building Des Moines, IA 50319 515-281-5164

Couldn't find rapini, made with broccoli. It's probably a keeper, but not 4 forks material (I can imagine it with rapini).
i made this recipe with linguini and baby broccoli. it was outstanding. i added a pinch of red pepper flakes and served with shrimp with garlic and breadcrumbs from this site. a garlic lover's delight! it was a gourmet meal but simple to prepare. highly recommended.
Made this last night. I used broccoli (couldn't find rabe) and a different shaped pasta. The recipe is certainly easy, and it tastes good. It has a good balance of flavors -- not too cheesy, not too greasy, not too garlicky. And it's a great way to get the kids to eat some veggies. Next time I'll add some sausage just to make it a little heartier.

Accessories and Documentation
As with the Transformer 4, the Buffalo is shipped with only a 0.8g tube of Evercool's own TIM. On the side of the tube it is further addressed as T-grease 800 Series thermal compound. With the mounting brackets already being attached to the base of the cooler, there is very little need for any extra included hardware.
Installing a cooler with push-pins should be second nature to most Intel processor users at this point. So what instructions are really needed? In my opinion no instructions are needed and that's a good thing too, as no instructions are shipped with the Buffalo, other than the images on the side of the box. I found the cooler very self explanatory and super simple to snap into place. If you were to still get stumped during the Buffalo's installation, you can look here, as Evercool has them on their site. Just follow the LGA775 mounting instructions, as it is the same process.

I'm not sure 'tis strictly true to say religious orders merely "filled the gap in the outports." I've an impression religious orders originally provided most of the education available even in St. John's until the government here, as governments did elsewhere, decided to intrude where governments have no business to intrude except maybe to forbid the teaching of spurious history, and an even more spurious approach to economics, in the teaching of which our government-run system of "education" now excels.

If it wasn't for the education provided by the Catholics and others, everyone over sixty, would be illiterate today. Yes, some that learned to read and write were also physically and sexually abused by their teachers. We all know the stories. When there was no money (or inclination) to provide an education to the outports of this province, it was the various religious orders that filled the gap. After all, if you can't read or write, and all you know is working from sun-up to sun-down, then you would make the kind of worker that the educated of the elite were looking for. Is it too much to ask that we remember our past?
- June 01, 2013 - 07:11
If you read the 1997 Schools Act you will see that people can be excempt from religious observances. If you can be excempt from religious observances, it means that religious observances is the legal norm and not having them is the exception to the rule. Parents can also request to hold religious observances in the school which can not be denied. Therefore, put more crosses up!

It has been said that one of Islam's contentions with Christianity is the use of crosses, religious symbols, paintings et cetera, being, as they contend, against the second commandment as adopted by Christianity from the Hebrew faith. Just a comment.

I would agree that "the Catholic Church has taken something of a beating in recent years" - most of it not only well deserved but self-inflicted. Nowhere is this more evident than in the lead-up to the 1997 constitutional amendment eliminating religious influence in our schools. The churches were offered half a loaf in exchange for accepting educational reform. Stupidly, the Catholic Church opted for an all-or-nothing approach which, of course, gave them nothing. But for the obstinance of archbishops like Penney and MacDonald, the trustees at St. Mathew's wouldn't be dealing with this issue in the first place. But, in the second place, it seems they folded their tent with great haste based on one amateurish legal opinion. Far be it for me to defend the Catholic Church, but in one respect I think the interests of Christian churches generally and the people of this province coincide. Those interests transcend narrow religious considerations. They impinge on our culture, our history and the sense of heritage that defines us as a nation (which of course we were until 1949). The gist of the capitulation by the trustees at St. Mathew's is that the Human Rights Act provincially and the Charter of Rights federally somehow compel us to purge all our public institutions of Christian symbols. This is based on a flawed interpretation of the law; moreover the Supreme Court of Canada has established no legal precedent that would compel such action. Taken to its natural conclusion, the St. Mathew's decision would lead to an absurd requirement to eliminate symbols that are ubiquitous among public institutions across Canada. Are we now to break all the stained-glass windows that adorn many of our older public buildings. On its face, it cannot be demonstrated in any convincing, practical manner that the mere existence of these symbols disadvantages or discriminates against non-Christians. What will St. Mathew's do, as Phalen points out, when the complainant in this case drops the other shoe – and demands that the prefix 'St.' be eliminated from the school name. What if, emboldened by his success with a few frightened school trustees, the complainant decides he doesn't like the name of the province's capital. Does city council throw in the towel and accept that we should be known hereafter simply as 'John's'. There is a point at which the desire to be politically correct becomes idiotic. I think the trustees at St. Mathew's have exceeded that point.

This is a Christian country and were losing our rights because of foreign immigrants coming here and telling us what to do. If you don't believe in God and our Savior then be quiet and mind your own business and stop being politicly correct NDP or go back to where you came from.

" If you don't believe in God and our Savior then be quiet and mind your own business". You may be unaware of a thing called democracy or unaware of another thing called taxes. Both of which makes it our business. Now if your god or saviour was to pay taxes then that would be different.

I'd like to see the name of St. Thomas Aquinas Elementary School in Port au Port East changed to something far more generic. As it is, the name amounts to false advertising by government brainwashers trying to suggest we haven't really lost as much as many voted to give up. Those who did vote to give it up because government is more responsive to our democratic needs than churches are, now are often the ones complaining about the government's setting up one conglomerate school board, right? Dr. Paul Wilson in Corner Brook, particularly comes to mind here. (After arguing however many years ago that parents should pay for their children's religious education if they wanted it, Dr. Wilson later complained that parents were paying to a private Catholic school money which should be better used to support the public school system -- for which those Catholic parents were anyway being taxed as much, I believe, as anyone.)

Removing the crosses and renaming the schools, nursing homes and every other PUBLIC institution makes perfect sense. I'm surprised that this wasn't done fifteen years ago.

No icon of any faith should be displayed in any public building. You mentioned in your article " The Catholic Church has taken something of a beating in recent years, perhaps deservedly so" Gerry, you are familiar with the past court cases concerning sexual assault by "Christian Brothers" and priests; then why the "perhaps" in your statement? Does something make you blind to the truth, or does amen get stuck in your throat
