"Online is an exciting new alternative for students to take required courses. In our small rural community, students are often faced with commuting from long distances and incur child care costs. This alternate delivery system provides students with a relatively easy way to complete coursework from home" stated West.
West admits to being reluctant at first to teaching online but acknowledges that based on people's comfort level with social media and transportation issues in our area, it just makes sense to offer online coursework. While the majority of his students are residents of Lake, Mendocino and Sonoma counties, he has had online students from as far as New York, Washington State and Los Angeles.
Priority registration for the summer program begins on April 15 with open registration for all students on April 23. Summer school begins on June 10.

My name is Pumpkin!
Facts about Pumpkin
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Tan Or Fawn Tabby
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Pumpkin's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Pumpkin is a very special kitty – loving, laid back and cute as a button. He has a wonderful personality and just needs to feel safe and love to blossom. He can be a little skittish when scared, but relaxes when he feels safe. He is very loving and loves to cuddle. He loves people, other cats and is fine with big dogs (he has not been around small dogs or children).
He was rescued from a local shelter where he was on the euthanasia list. There was nothing wrong with him, unless you consider cuteness a disease. He was a little scared, and latched on to me as her surrogate mother. He is now a healthy and happy boy – neutered and vaccinated. He still suckles on me periodically – a soothing mechanism that he developed because he lost his real momma way too early. It's nothing if not endearing.
Pumpkin is now looking for his forever home. Please open your heart and home to this lovely, sweet boy. Visit our blog to see more photos of Pumpkin http://happyfelines.wordpress.com/ or check out his Facebook page to see photos and videos https://www.facebook.com/AdoptHope .

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Pumpkin, a Fort Worth Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Fort Worth, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Fort Worth.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Fort Worth already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Fort Worth breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Fort Worth paves the way for another one to be saved.

Obama Plans 'Backdoor' Tax to Pay for Health Plan
A stealth provision in President Obama's latest healthcare proposal dramatically increases taxes on the wealthy — extending Medicare taxes for the first time to "unearned" investment income.
The new 2.9 percent tax would apply to interest, dividend, annuity, royalty, and rent payments.
Under current law, Medicare payments come from salaries alone.

From someone who has be a devote user of "Hoola" By Benefit for the past five years, I was DUMB stuck to find something better. This velvety smooth powder can take any puffy face and turn into a sculpted supermodel(haha). As a guy, when I'm growing scruff its great to balance it out if one area is growing more then the other. CAUTION: A LITTLE bit goes a lonnnnnnng way, NO joke! Because of this I could see this lasting for ages...HG Conture!

I LOVE BLUNT! Does anyone even use this as a blush? lol its the perfect contour color for me (I'm a nc45) but even if you're not darker skin toned, you can use it just have a light hand and blend it out. I've had this for a long time and still haven't even made a dent in it. Its perfect for contouring because it is a matte brown color.

I love this for contouring (I am an NC30). I use the MAC 109 brush to apply and blend it. It gives me the perfect contour color. You have to blend it really well or else it will look muddy.
this is a great alternative to a face contuor. its very pigmented so it will last you forever. use with an angled brush. it will last all day. it is matte.
5 LIPPIES!!!!! DEFINITELY, a must have in my make up collection! This matte blush is absolutely gorgeous!!! I use this to contour my face...even for my neck and chest area (hee hee)! It just makes your features more defined...and I just adore this product!!! It also gives you a nice looking "tan" and just makes your skin sun-baked exotic! lol. Make sure you really blend well with this product...otherwise it would look too fake and muddy. I think this suits more for people with medium/dark skin tones...

The color doesnt work for me so I havent really been able to wear this, but overall, Im giving it a 3
cant fault a product into a bad review because I made a mistake about color choice. I had bought Blunt with the intention of it taking the place of MACs Matte Bronze bronzer that has been an HG of mine for over a year, but I hate forking over $21 for it so Im searching for a less expensive, more bang for the buck alternative to add color and contour.
Well, I love the fact that Blunt is matte, but the color isnt close to that of Matte Bronze. In fact, Blunt has much more of a reddish base
(gosh, I almost want to say there is a little bit of a plum tone to this
I especially see it when swatched over an e/s base on the back of my hand). This would work for me if I wanted a sunburned look, but in my paleness, Im trying to disguise the pink/red in my skin, not accentuate it.
Im quite pale, nw20ish, but am pretty good at applying lightly and blending, so the dark tone and deep pigmentation of Blunt isnt the problem, its the fact that Blunt appears reddish on my pale skin. I can see this as HG material for girls that are a different color than me. Dont let the deep color scare you off, find the right tool for you (a stippling brush or an ultra light hand with a blush brush) and blend away.

I bought this because I needed a compact contour color and Kandee Johnson used it for her cheeks. I decided to give it a try and I liked it at first...but it's just a little too on the red side for me. This also broke me out. I bought this, Mineralize Skinfinish Natural and some blushes and like clockwork I broke out within a few days of using these. I know it's because of MAC's powders because my regimen keeps my skin under control but these just made my skin break out like crazy, but now how I usually break out. I don't ever get those big, deep, painful 'activities' on my face, EVER, very rarely, but when I started using this plus my MSFN my chin, cheeks and sides of my face was a mess. I probably would have kept this if it didn't break me out, even though it's not the best color for me, I did like it, but this just gave me more of a reason to return it. I got Benefit's Hoola instead and I'm much happier with it.

MAC's blunt is a muted golden brown powder blush. I have NC43 skin tone and used this blush in two ways. One of the ways is for contouring and the second is a bronzer. It's perfect for both because of it's matte texture. When I use it for contouring, I use a bit of Nars Lovejoy at the apples of my cheeks. My only gripe with the product is I wish the consistency was as smooth a Nars.

: Slim Jim
Lighting designer Pablo Pardo has been a rich resource for Haworth, having created the Best of NeoCon®, Best of Competition Award-winning desk light Brazo for the Holland, Mich.-based company in 2007. But as elegant as Brazo is, its complicated design has defied translation into the many different types of lighting required for integration across the full range of systems furniture. Now, along comes Pardo's LIM—short for Light In Motion—a multipurpose, multitask LED light with elemental structure and multiple reconfigurations that is highly adaptable to a variety of applications within the workstation, as well as institutional, hospitality, and residential settings."LIM starts out as a flat extrusion that can be formed to comply with Haworth's numerous mounting applications," explains Pardo. "The customizability of LIM is far greater than the more sophisticated Brazo. I wanted to create a system that would allow Haworth to seamlessly integrate lighting into its entire product line, so it is more about the light source being an essential tool, rather than an addition." LIM's intent, according to Haworth, is to provide an LED light mechanism that, depending on its form and method of attachment, can be a primary or secondary light source, as well as high-performance and highly adjustable.
"When we first saw LIM, it was obvious that we could stretch the design and create a whole family," says Reddig. "It was a light we could use in all different applications, keeping the same clean, consistent look." And the fact that LIM only has a few adaptable and recyclable parts lends itself to easy, efficient production, which in turn manages costs. "The light, gestural, clean form of LIM is something we've been trying to get to for a long time," Reddig adds.
Particularly noteworthy are LIM's very slender profile, its magnet interface, which allows for intuitive assembly and mounting by the user, and its light output and power usage. The LED array uses only 2.8 watts on the low setting and 7.3 watts on the high setting, but still gives 50 foot candles of light output. "I was driven by trying to get as much functionality as possible in as little a footprint as possible," says Pardo. "This is a much more sustainable design approach."

Roger McGuinn Discography Roger McGuinn Bibliography |
To read about the pre-Byrds career of Jim McGuinn, see Jim McGuinn, The Early Years: 1956-1964. This Chapter begins with a few words about McGuinn's role in the band; the story of the Byrds from 1964 to 1973 will be chronicled in detail in the forthcoming Byrds History Section. McGuinn and the Byrds Gene Clark wrote most of the songs, and David Crosby was the one with the connection to producer/manager/mentor Jim Dickson, but there was never any question (in 1964 anyway) that McGuinn was "the leader of the group," as Billy James says in the liner notes to Mr. Tambourine Man. In part it was because he was the only Byrd who could play his own instrument well; mostly it was because he was the only one with experience in the music business. Crosby would challenge McGuinn's leadership in 1967, and a year later Gram Parsons would do the same, but in all the permutations of the Byrds, the only constant was McGuinn. His Rickenbacker technique gave the band its signature sound; his voice was flexible but always distinctive, in Dylan-mode and out; and his ability to synthesize different musics into something new provided the band with its modus operandi. His songwriting skills grew dramatically on the first five Byrds records: on Tambourine Man, he contributed only a couple Beatle pastiches, but soon he would be (co-)writing songs like "5D" and "So You Want to Be A Rock 'N" Roll Star" and "Change Is Now." Even on the less-impressive albums after Sweetheart of the Rodeo, McGuinn provided most of the great moments: "Bad Night at the Whiskey," "Ballad of Easy Rider," and "Chestnut Mare," for example. McGuinn has been criticized over the years for being too autocratic, for being too democratic, for being too emotionless, and for milking the Byrds franchise longer than he should have. But one listen to the unbelievable Coltrane-style guitar break in "Eight Miles High" shows why, even after all their past differences, David Crosby still believes that "Roger McGuinn is a genius."* Crosby summed it up well around the time of the band's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: "Roger was the main thing in the Byrds, and everybody knows that."* Heave Away: The Adventures of Roger McGuinn By January of 1973, Roger McGuinn had too many irons in the fire. He was still leading the Columbia Byrds, with Clarence White, Skip Battin and John Guerin on drums. He was working with the original Byrds on their reunion album. And he was recording songs for his first solo LP. It looked like 1973 might be a big year for Roger McGuinn. To top it all off, Bob Dylan asked McGuinn to join the February '73 sessions that would result in the soundtrack to Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid (Columbia, 1973). The busy Byrd played on most of the album, including the transcendent single, "Knockin' On Heaven's Door," easily the best thing Dylan had done since Nashville Skyline (Columbia, 1969). It was an auspicious way to begin the year, but by the time Roger McGuinn (Columbia, 1973) came along in June, everything had changed. McGuinn had disbanded the Columbia Byrds in February, and the original Byrds had declined to tour or work together as a group after critics savaged the reunion album. The solo album would be McGuinn's last chance to make good. Several of the tunes were impressive -- judging from Farther Along and the reunion LP, he'd been saving up songs. Actually, four of the songs had earlier been recorded by the Byrds in January and June of 1972, but they were all recut for the LP. Helping out were Beach Boy Bruce Johnston; Spanky MacFarlane of "Our Gang" fame; Byrds session players Jim Gordon, Jerry Cole, and Hal Blaine; ex-Burrito Chris Ethridge; saxman Charles Lloyd; and master steel guitarist Buddy Emmons. Dylan repaid McGuinn by playing harmonica on the album's standout track, "I'm So Restless," in which McGuinn and Jacques Levy skewered Dylan, Lennon, and Jagger over a folky acoustic guitar. All five original Byrds appeared on "My New Woman," an effective return to the Crosbyite jazz-rock of Younger Than Yesterday. Crosby also added backing vocals to "Bag Full of Money," a highjacking tale. Elsewhere, McGuinn touches all the Byrd bases. There's science ("Time Cube," written with Bob Hippard); airplanes ("Draggin'"); a sea chantey ("Heave Away"); gospel ("Stone"); traditional folk ("The Water Is Wide") and a modern folk cover ("Lost My Drivin' Wheel," popularized by Tom Rush). It was a good game plan, but it lost something in the execution. The original producer was Terry Melcher; McGuinn felt Melcher drowned the album in weird vocal effects and redid most of the production work himself. One suspects that Melcher gets the blame for the annoying children's chorus on "Stone" (an otherwise strong number by Dan Penn and Spooner Oldham). On the other hand, McGuinn is the most likely culprit for the overemphasis on the now-dated Moog synthesizer. Despite some reservations, the critical consensus was that this LP was the best thing McGuinn had done since (Untitled) and maybe since Sweetheart of the Rodeo. Ultimately, the album reached #137 during a nine-week chart stint -- slightly better than the showing for Farther Along, but considerably lower than the placing for the Asylum reunion LP earlier that year. Meanwhile, McGuinn assembled a touring band dubbed "The Adventures of Roger McGuinn" featuring ex-Byrd John Guerin, former Association bassist David Vaught, and session keyboardist Michael Wofford; they toured behind the LP during the second half of '73. Reviews of this aggregation were lukewarm, and McGuinn later admitted that they had been too intent on playing jazz rock. "I wanted to be a jazz musician," McGuinn said in late '74. "I had the guys, but I wasn't there."* By the end of the year, the Adventures of Roger McGuinn had ended. Peace on You From January to June of '74, McGuinn performed a series of solo shows in theaters and clubs. Aside from a few solo gigs in support of Roger McGuinn, these were the first solo shows McGuinn had played since the formation of the Jet Set ten years earlier. At the same time, McGuinn was in the studio with a group of session vets that included Hillman chums Paul Harris, Al Perkins, Donnie Dacus, and Dan Fogelberg. Also on hand were Al Kooper and ex-Turtles Flo & Eddie. The resulting album, Peace On You (Columbia, 1974), was released in August. CSN vet Bill Halverson was brought in by Columbia to produce, and McGuinn chafed under his direction. The result was an album with some good moments -- most notably "Gate of Horn," co-written with Jacques Levy about the legendary Chicago folk club where McGuinn spent much of his teen years -- but some not so good as well. Critical reception was less positive than for his debut. On the other hand, the album eventually hit #92 on the charts. When it was time to assemble another live band to support the album, McGuinn decided not to move away from the jazz rock of The Adventures and go back to the country rock sound of the latter-day Byrds.

I am thinking of growing a truffle inoculated hazelnut tree in my Brooklyn backyard. Does anybody know anything about this? |
Follow-Up Postings:
They like fairly alkaline soil (idea pH 7.9 for black truffles). There are several kinds of truffles so you'll want to get a type that's adapted for your climate. For example, where I'm at the French Perigord / Black truffle matures after things are getting pretty frozen over, and the Burgundy truffle was recommended for my area. You want to plant them away from indigenous trees so the mycorrhizae from the locals don't come over and out-compete the truffle mycorrhizae. I worked with Charles LeFevre at New World Truffieres to innoculate some Burr Oak acorns/seedlings. While the trees took quite well to the truffles, I thought my house would have been built long ago but alas my trees are still in pots (look nice though) and they're still too young to expect crops anywas. |
Here is a link that might be useful: New World Truffieres
I bought 4 truffle-innoculated hazelnut trees from Charles Lefevre at New World Truffieres and planted them here on Chehalem Mountain outside Portland, Oregon. The trees are growing fine (about 2.5 feet tall), but plan to give the truffles several years to (hopefully) spread. Charles is very helpful via email. |
- Posted by desertdance Sunset 13 (My Page) on Fri, Apr 30, 10 at 11:01
I'm bumping this up because I gifted 5 Hazelnut trees to a relative in Santa Cruz CA (same climate as Oregon and lots of wooded areas where mushrooms abound), and I was wondering where do you get the spores? for the truffles and how do you innoculate? Do you just purchase fresh truffles and plant them at the base of the hazelnut tree?? Truffles are entirely outrageously expensive, and I'd love to taste one, but if I must buy some, I'd like her to turn them into several more at the base of her Hazelnuts! |

It was January 2021, and Rick Deckard had a license to kill.
Somewhere among the hordes of humans out there, lurked several rogue androids. Deckard's assignmet--find them and then..."retire" them. Trouble was, the androids all looked exactly like humans, and they didn't want to be found!

From the critics
Community Activity
Add a CommentThis book was okay. I personally thought the movie was better. Rachael was much better in the movie. The one part in the book that made more sense in the book than in the movie was the part where Deckard meets Rachael for the first time.
I enjoyed this novel, and was particularly intrigued by the essay featured at the end of the book (it discusses all of the conflicts which arose when the screenplay for the movie "Blade Runner" was being written). I then watched the movie, actually, just to have a better understanding of why these conflicts had erupted. Like 99% of viewers, I found the movie to be a colossal waste of time (sorry Ridley Scott - I loved the Alien movies and always will!).
But I digress. This is not a movie review. It's a book review.
The plot was satisfying and I appreciated the significant theme of the novel - were clones to exist, (the beings in this book are not true clones, but rather "androids") what rights would they have, if any? Would it be ethically offensive to use them as slaves? What would our response be if these clones chose to assert their rights? Would they HAVE rights?
I did not find the romance in this novel believable, but rather mechanical. The love between the protagonist and the android that he must "retire" (kill) was not well developed. I say this only because the essay at the end of the book indicates that it was an important idea to the author, one which he vehemently defended when screenplay writers threatened to "write it out" of the movie.
I struggled with two concepts in the novel - the veneration of animals, and "Mercerism", which is the religious ideology followed by the characters. Upon those concepts the most important messages of the novel were built - it's too bad they were both stripped from the movie.
I would still recommend this novel, despite some of the drawbacks - its underlying philosophies are provocative. Moreover, I think it's important to be familiar with the classic canon of any genre, and I intend to read more PKD.
Sure, the movie was iconic and pretty awesome but it was so different from the book.
The book will make the gears of your brain turn for sure and at times may also make your heart break.
Full of intellectual ponderings on reality, the nature of humanity and warnings of the future this is a must read for science fiction fans.
I had to read this twice because there's a lot to take in: the last days of Earth, a new human religion, are androids alive? The curse of life is that we move towards death, but our empathy makes the journey tolerable. Without empathy for humans, for animals, for their own kind, the life of an android is nasty, brutish and short.
Classic science fiction. It's even classic in the sense that the story is full of wacky ideas about the future that haven't come through and probably never will. But in all of the important ways, this book still has the sparks of insight, imagination and moral ambiguity that make science fiction great.
The book could be viewed as a straight-up detective story set in the future in the same vein of Sam Spade with questionable "dames" and all but few stories combine science, morality, religion and existentialism together well.
We question the morality of killing androids; we wonder if they're really alive; we wonder if we're alive and what truly sets us apart from machines; we even begin to wonder if we're truly human or android all through this book. The nature of empathy is questioned with undertones of Catholicism and Buddhist philosophy.
This is a wacky science fiction book but what's important is if it will illicit thoughts and feelings within you.

Gaza Defiant
February 18, 2010 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Geoffrey Cook, MMNS
Sacramento–Several weeks ago I reported on (former) Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney's rousing description, which she delivered here at the Salim Center in California's capital city, on how she successfully — after two previous attempts – "ran" the Israeli blockade into Gaza. Equally, as inspiring was the Senior Lecturer from the University of California, the Palestinian-American firebrand Hatem Bazian, on the history of the struggle and the aftermath now a year later on the smaller Palestinian country sandwiched between (West) Jerusalem and Cairo.
Just today as your reporter writes it is being relayed that Israel and the Palestinian Authority (PA) had submitted their rejoinder to the U.N. (United Nations') Report of "alleged" atrocities. The Hamas government in Gaza City itself said it did not commit any War crimes because of the overriding preponderance of their casualties (over 1400 and a decimated infrastructure) in comparison which attested to the violation of the International Law of Proportionality governing the conduct of Warfare; therefore, they have not submitted their justification defense for their self-defense.
With such a morbidity rate it is clear that Tel Aviv meant to kill and maim innocent civilian lives. Any rockets that the Arabs shot up were infused into the battlefield as a feeble attempt at self-defense, and not to destroy human life (which, in fact, rarely hit Jewish citizens).
The lead author of the 575-page Report of the United Nations' Fact-Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict, Judge Richard Goldstone — who gained fame for his fairness and courage as a Constitutional Judge in his native South Africa helping to end Apartheid and to set up the Truth and Reconciliation Commission during Nelson Mandela's Presidency in the multi-racial government of his native South Africa, and, of recent — in this his later career — he has served in executive judicial capacities on several of the more high-profile War Crime International Tribunals, and his latest service, on the circumstances of Gaza of which Report is commonly referred to under his name, the Judge stated the root of the violence in Gaza "…is [the Israeli] occupation."
Mr. Bazian illustrated the extent of occupation in his talk: U.N. Resolution 242 (November 22, 1967) instructed Israel to withdraw from the territory they had gained in the 1967 War. The infamous Jewish Settlements in the (Israeli) Occupied (Palestinian) Territories are immensely illegal under International Law, but they have only increased since the Oslo Accords (of 1993) which agreement was meant to end the Hebrew expansion into Arab land. In fact, Settler Colonialism has expanded their presence on Palestinian soil since then. Palestinian borders and the sea lanes are controlled by the Hebrews. The citizens of Gaza are in a penitentiary! Further, the Israel Defense Force (IDF) claims the right of "hot pursuit" under their interpretations of its necessity. (That is, they claim an extra-legal prerogative in the determination for its implementation.)
(George W.) Bush demanded the 2006 elections which Hamas won evenhandedly according to the international observers – including (former U.S.) President Jimmy Carter!
The culpability and corruption of Fatah, the Palestinian-controlled party in the West Bank cannot be denied either. Egypt would not sell the occupation Army cement, but Ramallah smoothed it over, and the Apartheid walls have resulted; stealing the Palestinian natural resources and driving the indigenous Arabs — mainly Islamic but, also, Christian – from their lands.
Palestine is not permitted to have an abiding militia but merely a police force. Also, irregular guerillas operated outside International approbation protect and resist the oppressors. On the other hand, the Hebrew forces are the fifth largest in the world with a nuclear arsenal to match.
While Washington has gifted Tel Aviv our most sophisticated weaponry, the homespun Qassam rockets possessed by the Palestinians are most primitive. The military balance is ridiculous! Yet, "We are blamed for [our] resistance!"
The fact is that Israel broke the ceasefire (as your correspondent has documented previously on these pages). "We [Americans] have to change our frame of reference!" The Jewish State is a criminal in the context of global edicts. According to Dr. Bazian, irregular soldiers are not considered in the same framework under International norms. (This is a debatable legal point, and that is why Goldstone accused the Gazan Administration of War criminality which, in turn, their officials denied based on the proportionality employed against them.) "The IDF didn't make distinctions between combatant and non-combatant." Thus, under conflict directive the counterattack can only be relative to the primary aggression, (and this absolved the Gazan Palestinian Arabs, for their counter-offensive upon Sderot and Ashkelon for Israel violated the Law of Proportionality against the citizenship on the Strip).
Succinctly, Hamas and the Gazan people they represented did not constitute a security threat at all. The Hebrew government assaulted this miniscule State because they did not wish an Islamist-dominated country on their Southern border, and, again, in Hatem's view, the Jewish Labor Party-led government had to make up face for their very real lose to Hezbollah in 2006 north in the Galilee.
A majority of military observers agree that the Gazan War was a defeat for the Israeli Defense Forces; for they failed to create the "regime change" they had hoped to do because the native stakeholders in this ancient land of the Philistines did not rise up against their democratically elected representatives.
We as a nation have to take responsibility for our part in the carnage!
Now, 92% of the surviving children are suffering post-traumatic stress syndrome. The medical infrastructure has further, been destroyed!
Up on the West Bank, the Hebrew State has set up 462 checkpoints.
As Americans, we must see that all Israel's weaponry came with the stamp of "Made in America."
While back in Gaza itself; there is 44% unemployment a 96% of the foreign consulates that were there have had to close. External aid that has already been pledged has been denied delivery by the blockade enforced by Israel and Egypt.
The Goldstone Report conservatively attests to War and, possibly, Crimes against Humanity instigated by the Israeli Army. It has been referred to the General Assembly for further discussion and hopefully action.
There will be an educational Conference on Palestine in San Anselmo (Calif.) in Marin County just north of San Francisco on March 5th-6th at the First Presbyterian Church there (415) 456-3713 where Dr. Hatem Bazian is scheduled to give one of the workshops. Also, there will be two Conferences in Honolulu and Seattle this month. Information on those gatherings can be gathered directly from Sabeel North America at (503) 653-6625.
Professor Bazian concluded his Sacramento speech by exclaiming "Palestine wants to be free… [America] needs to speak out!"
UN: Make Israel War Crime Trial
September 24, 2009 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Donald Macintyre in Jerusalem
Report also censures Hamas but accuses Israelis of punishing entire population of the Palestinian Strip
Israel targeted "the people of Gaza as a whole" in the three-week military operation which is estimated to have killed more than 1,300 Palestinians at the beginning of this year, according to a UN-commissioned report published yesterday.
A UN fact-finding mission led by the South African judge Richard Goldstone said Israel should face prosecution by the International Criminal Court unless it opened independent investigations of what the report said were repeated violations of international law, "possible war crimes and crimes against humanity" during the operation.
Using by far the strongest language of any of the numerous reports criticizing Operation Cast Lead, the UN mission, which interviewed victims, witnesses and others in Gaza and Geneva this summer, says that, while Israel had portrayed the war as self-defense in response to Hamas rocket attacks, it "considers the plan to have been directed, at least in part, at a different target: the people of Gaza as a whole.
"In this respect the operations were in furtherance of an overall policy aimed at punishing the Gaza population for its resilience and for its apparent support for Hamas, and possibly with the intent of forcing a change in such support," the report said.
The 575-page document presented to yesterday's session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva was swiftly denounced by Israel. The foreign ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor said the UN mission had "dealt a huge blow to governments seeking to defend their citizens from terror", and that its conclusions were "so disconnected with realities on the ground that one cannot but wonder on which planet was the Gaza Strip they visited".
The Gaza war began on 27 December 2008 and ended on 18 January 2009.
The UN report found that the statements of military and political leaders in Israel before and during the operation indicated that they intended the use of "disproportionate force", aimed not only at the enemy but also at the "supporting infrastructure". The mission adds: "In practice this appears to have meant the civilian population."
The mission also had harsh conclusions about Hamas and other armed groups, acknowledging that rocket and mortar attacks have caused terror in southern Israel, and saying that, where such attacks were launched into civilians areas, they would "constitute war crimes" and "may amount to crimes against humanity".
It also condemned the extrajudicial killings, detention and ill-treatment of Palestinian detainees by the Hamas regime in Gaza – as well as by the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank – and called for the release on humanitarian grounds of Gilad Shalit, the Israeli corporal abducted by Gaza militants in June 2006.
While the Israeli government refused to co-operate with the inquiry – or allow the UN team into Israel – on the ground that the team would be"one-sided", Corporal Shalit's father, Noam, was among those Israeli citizens who flew to Geneva to give evidence.
That said, the greater part of the report – and its strongest language – is reserved for Israel's conduct during the operation. Apart from the unprecedented death toll, the report says that "the destruction of food supply installations, water sanitation systems, concrete factories and residential houses was the result of a systematic policy by the Israeli armed forces". The purpose was not to avert a military threat, but "to make the daily process of living and dignified living more difficult for the civilian population".
The report also says that vandalism of houses by some soldiers and "the graffiti on the walls, the obscenities and often racist slogans constituted an overall image of humiliation and dehumanization of the Palestinian population".
Amid a detailed examination of most of the major incidents of the war – albeit one carried out five months after it took place – it says that:
* The first bombing attack on Day One of the operation, when children were going home from school, "appears to have been calculated to cause the greatest disruption and widespread panic".
* The firing of white phosphorus shells at the UN Relief and Works Agency compound was "compounded by reckless regard of the consequences", and the use of high explosive artillery at the al-Quds hospitals were violations of Articles 18 and 19 of the Geneva Convention. It says that warnings issued by Israel to the civilian population "cannot be considered as sufficiently effective" under the convention.
* On the attack in the vicinity of the al-Fakhoura school where at least 35 Palestinians were killed, Israeli forces launched an attack where a "reasonable commander" would have considered military advantage was outweighed by the risk to civilian life. Under Article 6 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), the civilians had their right to life forfeited. And while some of the 99 policemen killed in incidents surveyed by the team may have been members of armed groups, others who were not also had their right to life violated.
* The inquiry team also says that a number of Palestinians were used as human shields – itself a violation of the ICCPR – including Majdi Abed Rabbo, whose complaints about being so used were first aired in The Independent. The report asserts that the use of human shields constitutes a "war crime under the Rome statute of the International Criminal Court".

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- David Ortiz can remember trying to play first base at the Metrodome in Minnesota when he was breaking into the major leagues. He can remember how hard it can be to catch a white baseball that disappears into a white roof.
"It's funny that you ask that question," Ortiz said from the chair in front of his locker, because when we were going through the scouting report we were just talking about it. As much as I've played here, I don't think that happens often -- like it used to happen at the Metrodome. I guess the roof is more, I would say, dark. But it happens.
Then he chuckled.
"You're asking the question to the wrong guy," he said with a smile. "I don't play defense."
Mike Napoli plays defense. Napoli thought he should have had the pop-up that decided the game.
"My first read was to stay back, and then I started running in and overran it," he said.
John Lackey had thrown a hard fastball in on the hands of Matt Joyce, and Joyce had popped it up. It was just the type of pitch Lackey had needed to make to short-circuit the Rays' big inning, to strand two runners on base and to get his team back in the dugout with the game still tied.
But then the ball disappeared in the roof.
Napoli is a converted catcher playing first base full-time for the first time in his career, and he's more than held his own in the first six weeks of this season with just about every aspect of the position. Catching a pop-up is just another part of playing first base.
And it's not as though Napoli has never had to catch a pop-up at Tropicana Field. He'd played 15 games at the Trop while a member of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and the Texas Rangers. He'd played three of those games at first base, the other 12 behind the plate.
"I've played here before," he said. "It's a white roof, but I saw the ball and -- like I said -- I overran it."
Dustin Pedroia thought he should have had it, too.
"I ran to it and took my eye off it and tried to find it again, and I couldn't find it," he said. "It's probably an easier play for me than Nap because a lefthanded hitter and I had a better angle. I just took my eye off it. I know better than to do that."
Tuesday was the 43rd game Pedroia has played at Tropicana Field in his career, all at second base. He's caught similar pop-ups plenty of times.
Knowing Napoli is still learning the nuances of first base, Pedroia did what he could to take all of the blame.
"He hasn't played that many games in the field here, and I've played a lot," the second baseman said. "It's my responsibility to help him out in those situations and catch the ball."
Lackey certainly thought someone should have had it.
"It's frustrating, for sure," Lackey said. "I made a pitch, and I needed an out."
But all Lackey could do was stand and watch as Napoli and Pedroia converged.
"I couldn't hear those guys calling for it," he said. "I don't know what happened there."
What happened was that the ball landed behind Napoli and next to Pedroia on the lip of the dirt in front of first base. With two outs, Jose Molina and Yunel Escobar were running all the way and crossed home plate uncontested.
The savvy Pedroia reacted instantly, waving Napoli off as the ball took a high bounce, shielding the ball like a punt-coverage team inside the five-yard line. His hope was that the ball would hit the lip of the grass again and bounce into foul territory before it was touched, nullifying the play.
"But it didn't," he said. "We needed the wind to blow or something to get it over there. It's unfortunate. Lack makes a good pitch, and it's our job to catch the ball."
John Farrell thought someone should have had it, too.
But he understood why no one did.
"A popup that looks at the time seemingly harmless, just in that white roof, it looked like Mike just overran it a little and didn't get a good read on it," the manager said. "The ball ends up staying fair for the two runs -- and the difference in the game tonight."

Gio Gonzalez Offer Flatly Rejected
This morning, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald's Fish Bytes Blog wrote about the latest in the murmurs we hear about a Gio Gonzalez to the Miami Marlins deal. He wrote,
"While the Marlins have spoken to the A's about a possible trade for lefty Gio Gonzalez, Oakland's demands for the Hialeah product — specifically, some sort of package containing either Logan Morrison or Mike Stanton — have been flatly rejected. Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle suggests in her blog that the A's, based on their history, could hold out for a premium deal involving prospects for the 27-year-old All-Star (see their 2007 Dan Haren trade), and the last time I looked, the Marlins aren't exactly bursting at the seams with highly coveted prospects."
It is nice to see Billy Beane doing a go big or go home with Miami here. This rumor sort of backups the previous rumor of a deal that'd have sent Morrison, Ricky Nolasco and the Marlins' #1 and #2 prospects Oakland-bound for Gonzalez. I must say however I am surprised that the Marlins wouldn't go for – by my reading of this – any deal that involves Morrison. In a fascinating piece also out of the Miami Herald earlier this week, Dan LeBatard wrote,
"The Miami Marlins, changing even their name to fit a changing country, are looking to become Latin America's team, catering to the fastest growing minority in the United States, throwing unprecedented dollars at an experiment that will prove, once and for all, right there on Calle Ocho, whether Major League Baseball can indeed work in our weird and wonderful market."
One would think the acquisition of a homegrown star of Latin American descent like Gio would fit well into that narrative, yet it seems like the club is balking at trading Logan Morrison of all people – a player who is more famous for his Twitter feed than anything he has done in 185 games on a Major League Baseball field. Morrison was a 1.0 WAR player, and while I'd like to see him on the A's and think he will be better than that with time (he is only 24) if you talked straight up Gio Gonzalez for Morrison that deal would be a terrible one for Oakland. If the Fish don't want to include Morrison or Stanton, I just don't see how a deal gets done.
Spencer in his piece, via Slusser talks about how the A's want a Haren-like haul for Gio Gonzalez – something that frankly is completely reasonable to pry away such a good young left-hander – furthermore given his ties to Miami one has to think he is more valuable to the Marlins than he might be to another club. Haren, who was packaged with Connor Robertson went to Arizona bringing back a haul of Brett Anderson, Chris Carter, Aaron Cunningham, Dana Eveland, Carlos Gonzalez and Greg Smith. For perspective's sake Baseball America had the D-backs sending their 1st (Gonzalez), 3rd (Anderson), 7th (Cunningham), and 8th (Carter) prospects to Oakland along with two other guys. Florida meanwhile is hesitating over Morrison who has been worth 2.2 WAR in 185 career games, with a .259/.351/.460 slash line, .353 wOBA, and 25 home runs in 812 plate appearances. A guy who has been a poor defender at that. I am not knocking Morrison here, but if you as an organization aren't willing to trade a guy like him to get a frontline starter – how the heck do you expect to get a frontline starter?
If things do not change, it looks increasingly likely that Gonzalez will not be going to Miami. The Yankees are a constant rumor generator – it seems he is destined go somewhere this offseason, could New York be that place?
SC_Athletics fan permalinkNovember 23, 2011 8:59 pm
I'm just curious why Beane would be selling so low on Gio Gonzalez? The Athletics have plenty of offensively underperforming, low UZR outfielders. If the Marlins don't want to get serious about Gio, Beane needs to move on to another team or just hang onto Gio in 2012.
Dow permalinkDecember 12, 2011 7:34 am
Gonzales isn't worth close to the package Haren yielded. I could see the desire of relating the two in value, but he's just way too suspect with all those free passes.

If you are like most women, Fifty Shades of Grey has left you breathless ... and wanting more.
Sadly, with just three books in the series, your time with Christian Grey must come to an end (at least until the film comes out). But don't fret. There are plenty of other super erotic reads to whet your appetite.
Here's a list of the 12 most tantalizing post-Grey options.
- Strangers by Barbara Elsborg Two strangers whose lives are spiraling out of control find the bliss between the sheets with one another.
- Gabriel's Inferno by Sylvain Reynard Sexy, secretive professor Gabriel Emerson uses his good looks and charm to seduce sweet graduate student Julia Mitchell. (The book was also a semi-finalist for Best Romance in the 2011 Goodreads Choice Awards.)
- Generational Sins by Samantha Blair A man who always thought women were things to be toyed with meets a stunning submissive who becomes so much more to him.
- The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty by Anne Rice In this retelling, the fairytale princess is awakened by foreplay, not a simple kiss. The prince's reward -- Beauty's sexual enslavement to him.
- Insufferable Proximity by Z Stefani Hot shot lawyer Heaven is faced with an ultimatum from her professional rival Julian: Get turned in for her shady business dealings or agree to be his submissive for 30 days.
- Dark Lover (Black Dagger Brotherhood, Book 1) by J. R. Ward Think of it as Twilight meets Fifty Shades of Grey. When a young woman learns she is half-vampire, she jumps into a world of sensuality beyond her wildest dreams.
- Story of O by Pauline Reage Written in 1954, this classic erotic tale is about a Paris fashion photographer who goes to a mysterious chateau with her lover where she is whipped, chained, and humiliated to her delight.
- Gordon: A Novel by Edith Templeton Set during World War II, this tome follows a recently discharged army officer who begins a torrid affair with a strange yet alluring psychologist.
- Emmanuelle by Emmanuelle Arsan Originally published in 1967, this book is hard to find. If you can get your hands on one, you will blush at the erotic escapades of one of the most sexually adventurous heroines of all time.
- Sweet Restraint by Beth Kery It's a steamy story of former lovers who use little S&M to get reacquainted.
- Bared to You: A Crossfire Novel by Sylvia Day Flawed, fragile, and damaged, Eva and Gideon find love with a little kink thrown in.
- Heidi and the Kaiser by Selena Kitt Mousy aspiring fashion designer Heidi accidentally spills something on CEO Mr. Kaiser and gets a spanking ... and a job.

Windows Explorer (Continued)
Move the My Documents folder
Tool: Start Menu
By default the My Documents folder is in a specified location, and can't be moved easily. To place the My Documents folder in another location, do the following:
1. Open the Start Menu (click on Start), right-click on My Documents and select Properties. If you're having problems getting the context menu, right-click elsewhere on the Start Menu then right-click again on My Documents.
2. Click the Move button and select a new location. Click OK.
3. Choose whether you wish to move your existing documents across to this location.
Alternatively you can just type the new path in the Target box. When you're done, Windows will now recognise the new location as the home of My Documents.
Make the My Documents folder private
Tool: Explorer
If you want to password protect your My Documents folder, or in fact any folder which is unique to your user account (such as My Photos, Favorites, Desktop, Start Menu), and you're using the NTFS file system, you can do the following: Right-click on the folder in Explorer, select the Sharing tab and tick the 'Make this folder private' box. Now the folder and all its subdirectories will be password protected with your user password.
If you're logged in as the Administrator, or you've set no user password for speedy logon to Windows XP, this tweak is not particularly useful. If you try it, you'll be prompted to set a password, and unless you're worried about others accessing your private folders, it's not worth the additional effort if you're the only user.
Make a slideshow screensaver
Tool: Display Properties
To make a customizable slideshow screensaver from the pictures on your drive, do the following:
1. Go to Control Panel>Display Properties and select the Screensaver tab.
2. Under the screen saver list, select 'My Pictures slideshow'.
3. Click the Settings button.
4. By default the slideshow will use the pictures in your My Pictures folder and subdirectories. You can set the location for the pictures it uses by clicking the Browse button and choosing a new path.
5. Customize how long you want each picture to display before changing, and also how large the pictures are to be. Make sure you tick the 'Allow scrolling through pictures with the keyboard' option. Click OK.
6. You can either select the Preview button to start the slideshow straight away or set the time before the screensaver starts. Once it starts, you can use the left and right arrows on your keyboard to move through the pictures or wait the specified time for each new picture.
Change the default location for Programs and Common Files
Tool: Regedit
CommonFilesDir=C:\Program Files\Common Files Change this entry to another path if you want to change where Windows points to by default when installing common files for programs.
ProgramFilesDir=C:\Program Files Change this entry to another path if you want to change where Windows points to by default when installing new programs.
Reboot Windows (or use the Explorer trick under Before We Begin) to bring the changes into effect. Use this tweak with caution as it may cause problems with existing programs and play havoc with file associations.
Force every column in Explorer-based windows to be visible
Tool: Explorer
Sometimes when you open Explorer, or explorer-based interfaces (and there are many, such as Regedit) there may be columns which are way too large or way too small to show everything they contain. To force Windows to resize these columns appropriately, press the CTRL key and the + (plus) key together. This will instantly resize the columns so that the largest value in each column is visible. This may require you to expand the Window's size or use the scroll bar to see them all, but at least there won't be any hidden or too large/too small columns.

Last night I came home after a particularly hard night at work, a late night too, and all I want to do is lay in bed and do some reading. Somewhere I've got Arthur C. Clarke's Rendezvous With Rama that I picked up a few days ago. But, because I wanted to read that, of course I couldn't find it. Days that go bad usually tend to stay bad, right? I mean, isn't that how it always goes?
So, instead, I just laid in bed and watched 2010: The Year We Make Contact via youtube on my phone. It's not something I'd necessarily classify under our glorious "sci fi tomorrow," but it's some shit I couldn't have done as a kid, right?

Just as Mobile World Congress kicked off in Barcelona, Nokia was quick to unveil two new handsets, the Lumia 720 and Lumia 520. According to Finnish firm, the two will expand its Windows Phone 8 portfolio.
Speaking at the event, Nokia CEO Stephen Elop said, "The momentum behind Nokia is gathering pace. The launches today reflect our commitment to broadening our devices and services portfolio to meet the demands of people and businesses around the globe.
"By offering better experiences at a more affordable price we are reinventing the battle for affordable mobile devices, and Nokia has the building blocks to win."
Now, Nokia has a more complete Lumia lineup, from the budget Lumia 520 to the top-of-the-line Lumia 920.
Speaking about the Lumia 720, Nokia says, "The Nokia Lumia 720 delivers a high-end camera performance at a mid-range price point. A large f/1.9 aperture and exclusive Carl Zeiss optics are designed to deliver bright, clear pictures day and night, while the HD-quality, wide-angle front-facing camera makes taking pictures with friends and video calling more enjoyable. The sleek and stylish smartphone comes with the latest high-end Nokia Lumia experiences, including Nokia Music, the HERE location suite, and the option to add wireless charging with a snap-on wireless charging cover.
"The Nokia Lumia 720 comes in five colors, with an estimated starting price of EUR 249 before taxes and subsidies. Rollout is planned to start in Hong Kong, Vietnam and Singapore in Q1 2013, before continuing into broader markets in Q2, including China as well as key markets in Europe, Asia, Africa and India."
Speaking about the Lumia 520, Nokia says, "The Nokia Lumia 520 is Nokia's most affordable Windows Phone 8 smartphone, delivering experiences normally only found in high-end smartphones, such as the same digital camera lenses found on the flagship Nokia Lumia 920, Nokia Music for free music out of the box and even offline, and the HERE location suite. A four-inch super sensitive touchscreen makes for a more responsive and immersive content experience than can usually be found at this price.
"The Nokia Lumia 520 comes in five colors, with an estimated starting price of EUR 139, before taxes and subsidies. Roll-out is planned to begin in Q1 2013 in Hong Kong and Vietnam, before expanding broadly in Q2 to markets in Europe, Asia – including China and India – Latin America and Africa. The Nokia Lumia 520 is also planned to roll out in the United States with T-Mobile."
Are you interested in the Nokia Lumia 520, or would you like to get your hands on the Lumia 720? Let us know through a comment below.

App Helps Icelanders Avoid Dating Family
By editor
Originally published on Thu April 18, 2013 12:22 pm
Good morning, I'm David Greene.
Dating can be tough in a small country like Iceland. There are only 320,000 people and many of them are distant relatives. So the government came up with an idea. They created a genealogy Web site. There's even a Smartphone app. Just tap phones with your date. And if you happen to share a grandparent, you'll get an alert. If a date is out of the question, the app does also track relatives' birthdays and so you can send them a card.
It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Phish are currently on an extensive summer tour to celebrate their 30 year anniversary and now they have added on 12 dates in October and early November. The band will have about a month break between the end of the summer tour (September 1st) and the beginning of the fall tour (October 18th). Perhaps this will allow them to spend some time on the new album they have been/are working on. That could mean new music to be revealed during their fall tour.
Tickets for this leg of the tour, on sale now until August 4th, include an MP3 download of the soundboard recording of the show you attend — as if you need another great reason to go see these amazing jam rockers.
Here is the full list of dates, with the band coming to Massachusetts in late October:
10/18 Hampton, VA – Hampton Coliseum
10/19 Hampton, VA – Hampton Coliseum
10/20 Hampton, VA – Hampton Coliseum
10/22 Rochester, NY – Blue Cross Arena
10/23 Glens Falls NY – Glens Falls Civic Center
10/25 Worcester, MA – DCU Center
10/26 Worcester, MA – DCU Center
10/27 Hartford, CT – XL Center
10/29 Reading, PA – Sovereign Center
10/31 Atlantic City, NJ – Atlantic City Boardwalk Hall

We had a sand-tastic time at our Beach Party Blue Hour for the new La Sardina Beach Editions last week! Last Thursday, May 3rd at the Lomography Gallery Store NYC Gramercy, we made life into a beach... right in our own shop!
We celebrated with waffle cones and ice cream (both chocolate and vanilla!), as well as a variety of summer fruit, drinks, and popsicles of course! We chilled out in our sunglasses and all were dressed for the sunny months ahead. We sipped on fruity Sangria as we welcomed in the summer with a bash, relaxing to our funky DJ James playing fun beachy tunes, and everyone had a blast!
We also had a raffle for one of the fun and summery La Sardina St. Tropez editions! Congratulations to our winner, Jeremy! We are excited for you to get your Summer going with the perfect camera for the job! Happy shooting this warm season!
