Reigal stated: "The worst known genocide in Africa is Rwanda."
The statement above is totally untrue, there have been other mass killings in Africa before that would easily qualify as genocide a part from the well publicized Rwandan genocide in 1994. When the Democratic Republic of Congo was a Belgium colony under King Leopold it is believed that he exterminated up to ten million Africans. http://www.friendsforpeaceinafrica.org/analysis-op-ed/48/354-will-presid...
In more recent times 1998 – 2003/4 at least another six million Congolese have perished when Uganda and Rwanda invaded the country, created inter-ethnic conflict, committed massive war crimes and looted the country's natural resources.
The ongoing northern Uganda genocide has already claimed perhaps around one million Acholi victims. http://www.friendsforpeaceinafrica.org/analysis-op-ed/48/81-sos-profile-...
What about Dafaur in Sudan where some say some three hundred thousand may have perished. So as you can see Africa has had other episodes of genocide. Am sure there are more.
You seem to think that those who have been killed in their millions are the important genocides but you also have to consider those killed relative to their total population. If out of a population of thirty million, two million are killed then the damage is less severe compared to a group with a total population of two million having four hundred thousand victims. If you see what I mean.
So as you can see Africa is not always a haven of peace and tolerance.
The Hutu/Tutis Distinction was ethnic and socio-economic centuries before the Belgians. The idea that Belgians somehow interrupted or even helped create the distinction is a historic fallcy created by the liberals in Europe who enjoy blaming everything on Colonialism and their african followers who are happy to mainatain these guilt-trip status quo. Belgians were greedy and horrid but they found a divided, feudal society with clear `nobles and `serfs' and it made perfect sense to them. In some ways it reflected their own culture back home.
The Tutsis, always no more than 15% of the population owned most of the land; monopolised power and treated the Hutus more or less as slaves. The Belgians kept the old system going.
Hutus were understandably brought up to fear and hate their tall, skinny overlords.
A 500 year old story of biblical hatred exploded in 94.
My knowledge of the specifics here is patchy so your indulgence is much appreciated.
I have come to understand that the Hutu-Tutsi distinction has existed for a number of centuries fine. I seem to remember that it wasn't always a strictly ethnic distinction. That the definition of a Tutsi as opposed to a Hutu was an economic one (the Tutsis wealthier, although I don't know by how much, and by what rights their new identities were cemented and justified, comments?). Then the Belgians came in and were faced with this socio-economic distinction which clearly made one class subservient to another. To capitalise on this class distinction they turned it into a non-negotiable, artificial, and purely ethnic distinction. The Europeans stripped "Rwandans" of social mobility and created vast animosity towards what was basically an arbitrarily defined and insular social elite.
What haven't I understood?
Because if this account has some truth in it, then the Rwandan massacre is a bad case of mistaken identity (not the place for facetiousness, I know, but it keeps me from crying). So any putative solution would either allow class mobility from Hutu to Tutsi or involve the forging of a new identity: Rwandan (a government initiative I would support, all other things being equal).
Reigal, if you were to dignify this with a response, were it only to castigate me for my ignorance and revisionism, I should be very much obliged. Likewise, for those of you who are clearly much better informed about Rwandan history than I.
Scrantonian & angelo
Great to hear from people who actually know the place at ground level. But did not feel it was too small to become an industrial or agricultural economy in the long-term?
If yes the only long-term macroeconomic plans it could pursue is becoming a service, tourism and logistical hub. But if it were allowed to adminsiter Kivu and eastern `Congo'.. we could have a great little economic powerhouse that could transform that heart of Africa.
Have you ventured to the Congo yourselves?
I agree with the previous post (A Scrantonian). I've also visited Rwanda many times since 2001 and have done much business there. I'm impressed with the people, the country and their culture. A friend who searched for a place to start an emerging market Venture Capital Fund decided to put it in Rwanda. I think that's the kind of decision that tells the truth of the matter. VCs are risk averse and do their homework before committing to deploy. I myself am having a very good experience with business in Rwanda. I think its sort of an"insider secret" that Rwanda is a great place to do business - but it's only fair to Rwandans that outsiders like myself speak the truth: I can only recommend doing business with and in Rwanda. I did it and I see lots of others do it very successfully. Rwanda is really an up and coming place - go visit and find out yourself.
I just arrived back from Rwanda last week and have traveled an or lived there since 2000. therefore, I welcome the in-depth coverage of Rwanda in your magazine. I feel the need to correct a few statements that give the wrong impression: first, the data just out is that the economy grew 11.2% last year, which is remarkable given that we entered a world wide recession in the last quarter; second, aid to Rwanda as a percent of total GNP is down from 95% ten years ago to 44% last year; third, every international business man and woman to whom I spoke is astonished at the clean, orderly, law-abiding populace and anxious to find a way to be part of it. May I suggest that readers look at Jeff Chu's new article in FAST COMPANY magazine (http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/134/special-report-rwanda-rising.html)
I think some Historians may disagree with the Spanish crown on the role and intent of the conquistodors as well as some of the concerted actions taken against some native tribes in North America. One man's genocide is another's mere massacre. I suspect to the victims, the argument is entirely academic.
If we use your correct definition of genocide then Africa had only one in known history: Rwanda. This makes Americanjew's claim that genocides occur in Africa all the time even less convincing.
I think genocide is a bit different from just killing people... For a massacre to be a genocide, the perpetrators must have a malign intent of murdering an entire group of people based on ethnicity. For me, collateral casualties of war (your American/Spanish examples) or misguided policies (your Stalin/Mao example) are terrible crimes but still not as bad as genocide.
And it's worth noting that the Old World diseases that the Spaniards brought from Europe did most of the killing. There were too few Europeans in South America to have done all the killings, and at any rate the official position of the Spanish crown was that the 'Indians' were the subjects of the Crown with their natural rights.
Do you really think people will believe you are Jewish? Why not have the courage of your convictions and express yourself as who you are instead hiding behind the `Jew' tag?
Still what you said should not have been removed. Censorship is almost as bad as racism.
You say genocides are common in Africa. It depends on the definition of genocide. The worst known genocide in Africa is Rwanda. 800,000 died. By comparison 6 million jews and 44 million others died in WW2. Stalin Killed 30 Million. Mao another 30 Million. Khmer 2 million. US killed another 3 Million in Indo China. Turkey murdered 1.5 Million Armenians. Saddam killed Million Iranians. China is in the process of wiping out tibet through demographic cleansing( I just coined that term!)
Whole nations of native americans were almost wiped out. Conquistadors put whole South american civilisations to the sword.
The Balkans gave us Ethnic cleansing. Seen from that backdrop Africa is a haven of peace and tolerance. A veritable Shangri La of peace and brotherhood. Except the odd tribal bickering over cattle etc.
Your other accusation is more truthful. We Africans did not contribute much to Science and Technology. That is undeniable.
But that is different from civilisation. I hope you know the difference.
Reigal, I think comments are removed only if someone "reports abuse". A lot of more offensive posts don't get removed because no one reports them.
Diminishing freedom!Then the economy is faltering!Doesn't that ring a bell?This article serves to expose what an ordinary peasant in downtown Kigali experiences daily and is yet to, in the future! I must confess, it feels scary!We may witness a similar upheavel sometime to come- Is it a case of unexposed dictatrship?Patriotism?Or just african traits being exibited?
UN must be reformed to intervene and stop persecution, killing and human rights abuses against minorities. In Sri Lanka genocide has been going on for the last 53 years. Ex-US president's 'war on terror' gave a blank cheque to the most extremist president Mahinda Rajapakse in Sri Lanka.
I missed Americanjew's comment. Grrr God I hate censorship.
My heart bleeds for the innocent victims of the genocide that occured in Rawanda & how little the rest of the world did to prevent or curtail this gruesome tragedy.
However, what is even more disturbing is the realisation that we continue to harbour & nurture a blinkered & one-sided view on genocide. One that suits our conscience & allows us to ignore or deny the blatant hypocricy of our outrage & sanctimonious posturings.
We are so quick to point fingers, chastise, codemn & express our profound horror & disgust at such inhuman acts of mayhem by foreign perpetrators, but fail so abysmally, in acknowleding & rebuking ourselves, for equally heinous acts of genocide & killing fields that we in the West, have so brazenly created or indulged in.
Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Vietnam, El Salvador, Gautemala, Nicaragua, Afghanistan & Iraq, are just a few of the more recent ones that spring to mind. The spectre of the "Ugly American" looms loud & clear behind all these tragic upheavals & yet nary a word of outrage & condemnation is evoked or witnessed, either from the collusive media or the callous public, here in the West.
The ominous silence is deafening in its magnitude of national hypocricy & psychosis...
how does one expect a country which is still coming to terms with normalcy to have a sudden change to transform itself overnight into east africa's service hub? The thing about laws one must remember is, that it is always dynamic. The need of the hour today is to have such stringent laws lest there may be another genocide. Over a period of time these laws will automatically become more liberal as and when Rwanda as a whole realises that they are essentially Rwandan and not Hutu or Tutsi. The act of forgiveness which has been initiated by the current government is worth appreciating. Can anyone imagine modern day Israel showing any forgiveness to a pro-Nazi, let alone a Nazi involved in a holocaust?
Please give me a break - clearly The Economist has no idea what it takes to stop a genocide. I would rather have "diminished freedoms" than be gang-raped and mutilated by HIV-infected thugs sponsored by a genocidal government. Who are you to define what kind of freedoms I should have? Regarding that earth-shattering announcement "And now the economy is faltering"? - which economy is not faltering as we speak. This is tired old Economist-speak, can we get some real news please?
I saw nothing wrong with anything quoted in the article about the these laws introduced to rebuild a country that went to hell and still trying to crawl out of it.
On the contrary I think what Paul kagame and other Rwandans have achieved is one of the most remarkable forgiveness stories in human history and should be applauded and learnt from.
As always I am angered and offended by the self-appointed western `experts' vultures who descend on Africa from obscurity and try to gain fame by imposing their pet ideas on Africans.
Sadly though the genocide will recur despite kagame's remarkable ambitions and achievements. The genocide has been an onging narrative of Rwanadan and Burundian history not for 50 years but 500 years.
The underlying causes are simple: Over-crowding and deep-seated ethnic hatreds. It sounds awful but Kagame maybe making a strategic mistake in allowing the Hutus to retun to Rwanada at all. As the article points out no other story of gennocide ever ended up with both the victims and perps living together in the same patch of land happily ever after. It wont happen this time either.
The West is inadvertently sowing the seeds iof another genocide too by refusing Rwanda to take a bit of land from the disintegrating carcass of Congo. 20 years from now we will be watching as teachers butcher their pupils and ask what on earth is going through mind. We wouldnt even know we contributed to the murder-fest through the arrogance and ignorance of our governments.
There appears to be two articles in one in this piece on Rwanda - the two contradicting each other badly. The first detailing the calamity that befell Rwanda as killers turned on their fellow citizens, the second one decrying the absence of features of western liberal systems. The "second" article is innocent in extreme - building devastated nations successfully is stuff that requires a mixture of time, home-grown innovation, toughness, persuasion, and yes - occasional setbacks. Economist should borrow lessons of European history in nation-building, from Cromwell's England, the rise and fall of the French or German republics blah blah blah that consolidated only "yesterday" after centuries of trying rather desperately. You should give Rwandans their due and refrain from predictions of doom!
…A controlling government will hurt Rwanda's economic prospects…
Why so? Having a dictatorial Government didn't stop China becoming top dog did it? And both Singapore and Taiwan (the later at the beginning anyway) are for all intents and purposes one party dictatorships and yet they have done very well for themselves haven't they, ditto Dubai.
perhaps draconian laws are needed to maintain peace, it is not possible to just liberalize the state and expect everything to fall into place and operate like the first world countries. there needs to be a transition, no matter how long, for democracy to eventually rise up to the country's challenge. there is a time for everything, and human rights activists need to acknowledge that and not just criticize everything that doesnt go their way.

Defender Anderson leaves Derby
Scottish defender Russell Anderson, has left Derby County having had his contract terminated early by mutual consent.
The defender who had previosuly played for Aberdeen and Sunderland as well as loan spells at Plymouth and Burnley leaves Pride Park after making 34 league appearances and scoring one goal for the club.
Announcing the news, manager Nigel Clough said: "Russell is a fantastic professional who moves on with our very best wishes.
He has been unlucky with a few injuries and the form of other players during his time with us, but throughout the last two years his attitude has been first class and he has been nothing but a positive influence in the dressing room."
His last appearance was at the start of November when he sustained a hamstring injury in Derby's game against Cardiff City.

The details of EIA/TIA 222 Rev. G
After thousands of hours of committee work the most comprehensive change in the 222 standard since Version D was promulgated nearly 20 years ago has been released for general use. Because of the rapidly increasing global expansion and the ever-expanding integration of American products and standards internationally the committee determined that the new standard shall stand as an example of a state-of-the-art standard internationally and domestically.
Consulting Engineer John Ericsson, P.E., a member of the working group and the editorial committee, provided me with a copy of the nearly 300-page standard. Craig Snyder, president of Sioux Falls Tower and Communications, who was also chairman of the committee, provided a great deal of additional information concerning the activities of his committee, TR14. The final draft was approved in June 2005 and released for general publication in July 2005. The specifications and requirements of the new standard may be employed at this time if desired. However, adherence to the new standard, Revision G, will not become mandatory until Jan. 1, 2006.
Most readers will probably ask if Revision G applies to an existing tower. I'm sure many engineers will be relieved to learn that the answer is generally no, if no changes are to be made to the original load specification and a professional engineer certifies that it will be satisfactory and that there won't be any effect on an existing tower. This requires careful consideration but if new antennas are to be added to an existing tower, which results in changes to its loading beyond its original specification Revision G will probably apply.
What's inside
The new specification' s table of contents lists 15 main topics or objectives, each of which may have as many as eight subsections. The topics are:
- General
- Loads
- Analysis
- Designed strength of structural steel
- Manufacturing
- Other structural materials
- Guy Assemblers
- Insulators
- Foundations and Anchorages
- Protective grounding
- Obstruction and marking
- Climbing and working facilities
- Plans, assembly tolerances and marking
- Maintenance and condition assessment
- Existing structures
Class | Description |
I | Structures that due to height, use or location represent a low hazard to human life and damage to property in the event of failure and used for services that are optional or where a delay in returning the services would be acceptable. |
II | Structures that due to height, use or location represent a substantial hazard to human life and damage to property in the event of failure and used for services that may be provided by other means. |
III | Structures that due to height, use or location represent a high hazard to human life and damage to property in the event of failure and used primarily for essential communications. |
Table 1. The classification of various structures from table 2-1 of the standard.
There are 14 annexes that form procurement and user guidelines. These are intended to help engineers in their procurement of antenna supporting structures and antennas designed in accordance with the new standard. The sections referred to in the annex correspond to sections of the standard that contain an A prefix.
Although the new standard G specifications are comprehensive and have a no-nonsense air about them, they have been written with thought for the engineer and considerations for his design and operational requirements. Default design parameters suitable for the referenced sections are provided and help simplify the procurement specifications for structures. The annexes also provide amplification and clarification of many of the specifications. The annex listing follows.
A Procurement and the user guidelines
B U.S. County listings of design criteria
C Wind force on typical antennas
D Twist and sway limitations for microwave antennas
E Guy rupture
F Presumptive soil parameters
G Geotechnical investigations
H Additional corrosion control
I Climber attachment anchorages
J Maintenance and condition assessment
K Measuring guy tensions
L Wind speed confessions
M SI conversion factors
N References
Annex D will certainly be of great interest to engineers who have to take care of STLs. It deals with one of the ever-present problems of tower distortion and twisting and swaying of microwave supports. A specific design criteria map section is included in Appendix 1 and occupies 30 or more pages. Comments on a few of the specifics that apply directly to broadcasting give an idea of the depth of this standard. Broadcast stations are located in many different types of terrain ranging from level and suburban areas to open and up mountain peaks. The effect of wind speed over various types of terrain is covered in depth.
The standard pays a lot of attention to transmission line mounting and the effect of clustering transmission lines, or blocks of transmission lines, on towers. For instance, the effect of transmission line placement is examined in detail.
A matter that is making engineers a little sensitive these days is that of earthquakes. Seismology and the special requirements of antenna and antenna mounting structures in regions of high seismicity are covered in depth, and some of the information may bring comfort to engineers in California.
Site Class | Description of upper 100 feet of soil for the site location |
A | Hard rock with 10 feet or less of soil overburden |
B | Competent rock with moderate fracturing and weathering with 10 feet or less of soil overburden |
C | Dense soil, soft rock or highly fractured and weathered rock |
D | Stiff soil |
E | Weak soil (excluding site class F) |
F | Soils vulnerable to potential failure or collapse under seismic loading |
Table 2. Site class definitions from table 2-11 of the standard.
Structures are classified according to usage, and the classifications are listed in Table 1. Site types are classified and defined, and then run through seven soil profiles ranging from hard rock to soils vulnerable to failure under seismic loading. These are listed in Table 2.
Corrosion, a topic that has long been a subject of argument among broadcast engineers, is fully covered. Structures are required to have hot dip zinc coating, preferably galvanic. All types of corrosion control are also covered in depth. As would be expected guy wires and their fittings receive a lot of attention. The subject of insulators, base and guy, receive adequate coverage. Details of required specific cathodic protection using sacrificial anodes and impressed currents are also well covered.
Well grounded
Another topic that can be a subject of disagreement among radio engineers is grounding. Scope and definition are both covered together with methodology, and connections between various elements are fully discussed and details provided.
Although tower climbing does not normally fall within the purview of station engineers there are always a few daredevils who like to go up towers. These fearless souls will find a lot of interesting reading in section 12 entitled Climbing Facilities. This section provides a surprising amount of information about such things as required safety equipment.
Section 15 Existing Structures addresses the evaluation and modification of existing structures. Reference to this section emphasizes the need to take great care in storing all the drawings and specifications of all the structures associated with a given station. Lack of this information can eventually result in high costs in restudying what has been done and lost.
The creators of 222 Revision G deserve hearty congratulations on the successful delivery of a complete and comprehensive international standard.

Barnsley have signed defender Joe Dudgeon on a month's loan from Hull.
The 23-year-old left-back missed most of last season with a persistent knee injury but has returned to action during the Tigers' pre-season programme and could play up to six times during his month with the Tykes."I'm delighted that I have been given this opportunity," he told the club's official website. "As soon as I was told about the interest it was good to get down here and get involved. It's good to know that people wanted me and it was a chance I could not turn down."With the month's loan I'll hopefully get five or six games in which will be great for my legs and hopefully I'll be able to bring something to the squad."Dudgeon's arrival at Oakwell comes just hours after fellow defender Tom Kennedy left by mutual consent.

This C-word tourettes thingy is clearly catching.
Just hours after Jim Naughtie and Andrew Marr did the deed, Policing Minister Nick Herbert just stunned MPs with the same word.
Quizzed repeatedly by Labour about Government cuts, reductions in civilian staff and recruitment freezes for police officers, the minister blurted out:
"I don't accept that those are c*nts...cuts...to front line policing".
As the House fell about, it was left to Speaker Bercow to come up with a wonderful line as Herbert turned beetroot:
"Order! Opposition Members hearing is playing tricks with them. They didn't hear what they thought they heard."
Herbert then recovered rather swiftly, stating:
"Mr Speaker, I'm in very good company."
Watch the exchanges HERE from 14.58pm. SkyNews also now have the vid:
Shadow Home Secretary Ed Balls, as combative as ever, pointed out that it was no wonder Mr Herbert was feeling the pressure, given that Theresa May had forced him to answer most of her questions.
Balls did well to avoid his own trip-ups, particularly as he said the word "cuts" and "constables" several times in close proximity.
Some members couldn't resist the chance to rub salt into Mr Herbert's wounds, raising it in points of order.
I can't wait to see how Hansard report all this tomorrow. Now that's what I call a tough call, given the Speaker's own words....
UPDATE: Bob Piper points out that John Spellar did something similar way back in 2001 when he told MPs: "we recognise that these cunts in the defence medical services had gone too far".
My own favourite, however, is Trevor McDonald's absolute classic mix-up on News at Ten about "the C*nt Kentryside"
FURTHER UPDATE: Labour's Kevin Brennan, as mischievous as ever, asked if Speaker Bercow could confirm that it would be in order for MPs to walk through both the Aye and the Noe lobby if they want to register an abstention. He said that Lib Dems who wanted to claim they had voted both for and against tuition fees could therefore satisfy different audiences.
The Speaker yelled "Yesss!" in reply.
845 PM UPDATE: Hansard is now out and they have, ahem, tidied up the exchange as follows:
Nick Herbert: I do not accept that those are cuts—
Hon. Members: What was that?
Mr Speaker: Order. Opposition Members' hearing is playing tricks with them. They did not hear what they thought they heard.
You've gotta love that collective chunter "What was that?". Priceless.

We are considering a medium-dark tile that is a gorgeous color but we are not used to the darkness of it. I'm thinking I would like it because our house tends to be cold --flat rock roof with no insulation and walls with mostly no insulation, we are in a beach town often marine layer and only a few months of the year is warm. The bulk of the tile will be installed in area (dining/kitchen) with a decent amount of natural light, the space surrounds a courtyard, in the dining we have large sliding door and transoms all around, in the galley kitchen we have window above lower cabinets on 3/4 of one wall facing the courtyard. We have white high gloss slab kitchen cabinets contemporary. |

Natural light doesn't shine after dark. Make sure that you address the actual room lighting as well. And get a sample of the floor and place in a high traffic area of your home for a few days to see if you can live with the amount of dirt it shows. Some floors, like an oak, if they are medium dark, still don't show that much dirt because of the prominent grain. Go darker, or shinier, or choose a wood with very little grain (like a maple) and you will see every single thing, including sweaty footprints from people and pets. |
Here's a shot of the Montauk Black slate floor in our kitchen. As "hollysprings" said, be sure you have enough lighting for night time or for gloomy days. |

will tv, the photo didn't come through. would love to see. thanks for your reiterating the need for good room lighting. |

I went from white vinyl to a dark pergo type floor in our old house. I wanted to warm things up in that open concept house and also hide dirt. My big complaint afterwards was that I couldn't see the dirt to clean it and that bugged me. In this house we're going from white tile to a terrazzo type light/medium tile which will hide the dirt but not so much that I can't see it completely and will also preserve some lightness in the area. |
The dark floors in the kitchen will work if your kitchen has reasonable amount of natural light, and a light color cabinetry for contrast. Don't make the mistake of going with dark floors with dark finish cabinetry |
We had a lighter floor with beautiful creamy-colored tiles that I chose 3 years ago when we built the house. We'd always intended to redo the kitchen after a few years so just went with standard builder grade cabinets, but I chose a nice tile and paid extra to have it laid on the diagonal thinking it would be our forever tile. That was before I realized how it would show every speck of dirt and every drop of spilled coffee and every single dog hair. Lord how I grew to abhor that tile. Bottom line, we had it all removed and replaced with a darker tile in our recent reno. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the darker tile!! Wish I had realized this three years ago, would have saved a world of mess and dust, not to mention cost, if I'd just gone darker in the first place. |
I was afraid I would regret it, but I love the dark tile I chose. I do wish it wasn't such a matte finish, but I still like it. |

OurGC just finished installing our dark wood floors. I think they look GORGEOUS ! I had originally picked natural Hickory, but DH thought it was too much of a contrast with the cabinets and picked the dark. I am glad we did! As soon as I can figure out how to post pictures from my iPad I will put some up. I guess, like everything else, you can listen to what everyone says and then go with what you like! After all, you are the one who is going to be living with it :) |
My floors, when they are finally installed, will be a dark chestnut Sapele. It is a dark, warm brown but I wanted a lot of contrast between the cabs and the floor. If you pick what you love you should be fine! |
I'm wondering about your comment that you have a cold house....I don't find tile floors to be the best flooring in a cold house unless you have radiant heat. Tile would make the house feel colder, I'm afraid. Have you thought about wood in those areas? |
We had dark mocha stained wood in our old house. We had white cabinets too and the contrast was beautiful. |
thank you for all of your comments. It is so helpful to get so many different perspectives. Probably won't get wood as DH doesn't want though I am going to bring a swatch home so that we can be convinced of our final choice which is probably going to be the dark floors. will decide soon. thanks for your help! |

I love to cook. Have cooked professionally and found it very rewarding and NEVER want to do it again even as much as I enjoyed it. Love new recipes, love those family traditional recipes too.
I love talking about recipes and passing them on. There's hardly a day that goes by that I don't talk to someone about cooking.
I love all foods. I can't possibly pick just one category. My mother's Macaroni Salad has become a winner with everyone who tries it.

What Guys Think Links: Ready For March Madness?
By Tom Miller
Well then. It's less than a week to the world's greatest and most romantic holiday: St. Patrick's Day. The beer is green, the corned beef is hashed and the eyes are smiling. Ahhh, thanks for chasing out all them snakes, Pat. Not to mention... It's time to make your March Madness bracket, or ignore your guy for doing so. As usual, we found the best stuff the web had to offer written by men about love and stuff.
While ZZ Top was very familiar with women's preferences for sharp dressing, they clearly weren't at all knowledgable about what women thought of facial hair According to some scientists (via AskMen), women prefer a smooth face. This probably has something to do with razor burn in sensitive places…
OK, I know we're knee-deep in Lent, but CollegeCandy has 11 things ladies really, really shouldn't have quit for 40 days/nights. Speaking of which, is the movie 40 Days And 40 Nights really going to be Josh Hartnett's legacy and not boning two women in West Village bathroom?
Someone must have lost their mind in Germany (not a good place to do that), because a popular paper has decided to put an end to lady toplessness on its cover. Huffington Post has more on this tragic, tragic day in Deutschland.
"Do you love obscure German porn and news-related erotica?" This and seven other questions should be asked before you decide to commit to a guy. HowAboutWe lets you know what to ask before burning your lil black book.
Is promiscuity really a bad thing? It's probably not a good thing. Good Men Project takes on the word "slut" and its general implication to sexual relationships. It's a very good read and the comments section is very lively.
Brilliant, wheelchair-bound theoretical physicists are just like us. The Daily Beast gives a little look inside the mind of sex club fan Steven Hawking. That's what I call a G-String Theory. No? Is this thing on? You in the back, didja hear that?
Our buds Em & Lo consult their man panel about something very important; the male stance on crazy sex positions: pro or con? While they hash it out, I'm gonna do some Pilates.

Of the two middle schools and two high schools that fall within the boundaries of the original target neighborhoods, none has experienced any decline in the percentage or number of students who have dropped out since 1992. In fact, 97 more youths quit West High School during the 1994-1995 school year then they did the previous year. And at Manual High School, 157 more students left. The overall Denver Public Schools dropout rate among middle school and high school youth increased only 0.9 percent from 1993-94 to 1994-95; but the increase was 3.5 percent at West and 8.8 percent at Manual.
Some neighborhood activists--even those who help distribute the funds--say they wish the funding was dried up so they wouldn't have to endure another year of assigning blame.
"Weed and Seed has caused more damage than good," says Capitol Hill's Nachtigal. "It drained so much time and volunteer hours. The government doesn't realize how much free time and labor they get. No one wants to do any more volunteer work that's connected with the government. It takes so long to get anything accomplished."
C.M. Mangiaracina, program director for a nonprofit organization called Urban Youth Leadership, agrees. He tried to conduct a $2,400 program to take Highland kids rock-climbing in the summer of 1995, but he complains that bureaucratic delays doomed his plans. "I presented this program in February, for early summer," he says. "I didn't get the full grant until August, so I only had five weeks for the kids."
Joe Abeyta, who runs the St. Charles Recreation Center in the Cole neighborhood, says "all the red tape and hassle" of acquiring grant money for recreational programs ($5,000 in 1992, he says, and $2,000 the next year) "just wasn't worth it. We have a big majority of Hispanics, and I don't think anything was geared toward them. Of all the meetings I went to, I was one of the only Hispanics there."
Many of the fingers point to former project director Carlos Guerra. He points right back. "Everybody kept waiting for someone else to fix the problems," says Guerra, who ran the program from early 1994 through the fall of 1995. "Everybody has a responsibility."
Guerra and others say that political pressure from residents in the Weed and Seed neighborhoods prompted the city to move the program from the community-relations department to the Department of Safety. But Guerra himself is disgruntled, too. He says he left because he was "tired of the dynamics," and he says that Weed and Seed produced "no measurable, demonstrable progress." He admits he wasn't personally popular, but not because he wasn't doing a good job, he says. Guerra describes himself as "willing to stand up against the status quo."
Of course, many people think he was the status quo, and neighbors complained to Mayor Wellington Webb the day Webb appointed him in 1994. "The day I was announced," Guerra says, "they went to the mayor and demanded that I be removed. People knew nothing about me."
Fancy Frandsen, who worked for Guerra for a year, says, "I thought he was a very dynamic man. But he got caught in the same crap I got caught in. The same people took him on."
Complaints about Guerra didn't just come from the Baker neighborhood, however; they came from everywhere. One former Highland official even went so far as to call Guerra a moron. "He would come out, he would implement things, then 24 hours later he'd be on a different horse in a different direction," says the former Highland official. "I said, if you're gonna keep doing this, you can have it."
At the end of 1994, Capitol Hill's Nachtigal says, NPT leaders persuaded the mayor to review Guerra's performance, and other candidates were considered for the job. Manager of Safety Butch Montoya "had the four presidents interview the other candidates in early 1995," Nachtigal says. (At the time, there were only four neighborhoods in the program.) "All four neighborhoods said, 'Anyone but Carlos.' There were letters from Highland and Baker complaining about Carlos. But I found out Carlos was staying a week later. The people who found out were very mad."
Guerra eventually left--of his own accord, he says. Some people charge that he was pressured to leave after the city initially failed to reacquire a $300,000 Neighbor to Neighbor grant for 1995 and 1996. (City officials ultimately had to beg for the grant in person.) According to critics, the history of the grant is typical of the program's mismanagement. The first Neighbor to Neighbor grant, which was used together with the Weed and Seed money, was awarded to the city in April 1994 and required the hiring of health workers in the neighborhoods. But such workers weren't found until December of that year. The city had to apply for funds for 1995 and 1996 with little to show from the original funding. Guerra suggests that the new monies were delayed not because of him but because Denver Health and Hospitals couldn't find the specialized health workers the grant required until the grant period was almost up.
DHH points right back at Guerra. "All we were was a part of the committee," says DHH spokeswoman Stephanie Denning. "The project director was responsible for recruiting people."

Marvel Comics and Top Cow Productions have joined forces to create "Unholy Union," an all out fight comic starring Top Cow flagship characters Witchblade and the Darkness and Marvel favorites Dr. Strange, Ghost Rider and the incredible Hulk. Written by Ron Marz with art by "The Darkness" series artist Michael Broussard, "Unholy Union" is an over-sized one-shot fans are sure to enjoy. CBR News spoke with writer Ron Marz about this summer's clash of titans.
"Unholy Union" promo art |
a partnership of sorts, but how did this project with its diverse set
of characters get settled upon?
It usually doesn't happen this way, but in this case, I got to pick. On the Top Cow end, we knew we wanted to include both Witchblade and Darkness, so Matt Hawkins at Top Cow asked me to come up with a list of who I wanted to use from the Marvel side. Then it just became a matter of who I wanted and who made sense for a one-shot story. It was nice to approach it in that manner, instead of, "Here, this is what you get, make it work." Marvel has been great through the whole process.
Ghost Rider made sense to me because The Darkness is an anti-hero who would logically attract the spirit of vengeance. The Hulk has already encountered the Darkness. Plus, let's face it, it's cool when the Hulk busts up a lot stuff. And I love Doctor Strange, so I was damn well gonna find a way to get him in there.
Secondly, introduce our audience to the story in "Unholy Union." What
have you cooked up here?
"Unholy Union" cover inks |
Both the Top Cow and Marvel Universes have undergone some pretty major
changes in the past years. You've taken "Witchblade" in entirely
unexpected and exciting directions. Marvel's had a few wars. When you
consider the Darkness and Witchblade, plus the Marvel characters in this
book -- Hulk, Dr. Strange and Ghost Rider -- where are these characters
in terms of their own books? Is this the same Sara and Dani we're
familiar with from the current storylines? Is this the same Hulk who's
made his way back to earth?
"Unholy Union" pages 6 and 7 |
I've also read that this issue contains a preview for "First Born." Is
the preview part of the story, or something separate?
Both, actually. As I said, there's a story element in Unholy Union that's will be carried through to First Born. It's not a situation where we're holding a gun to the reader's head and saying, "You must read THIS in order to read THAT !" It's an appetizer, not the main course, but it does play a part in teasing First Born. It's subtle enough that it won't interfere with your enjoyment of Unholy Union or First Born if you read one and not the other. But taken together, it shows a bit larger picture. The last page of Unholy Union contains some characters that we haven't made public, and that scene points toward the First Born storyline as well.
"Unholy Union" page 8 |
What was it about this project that attracted you to the book? How much
freedom were you given in crafting your story?
I've always enjoyed writing crossovers, and I've been fortunate enough to do a quite a few of them. By their nature, they should be big summer blockbuster-type stories. That's what Unholy Union is. I mean, where else do you get the chance to write Ghost Rider and the Darkness beating the hell out of each, while the Hulk comes smashing through a wall, looking to squash them both? I was given the freedom to have fun, and hopefully the readers will as well.

Millers breeze past Ayr
A good Millers contingent saw the final game of the teams Scottish tour on Saturday, and the 4-1 win was a pleasing end to the week for Assistant Paul Raynor. Two Alex Revell headers, a Mitch Rose strike from 20 yards and a cracking Ben Pringle free-kick late in the game earned a convincing win at a sun drenched Somerset Park. Raynor spoke to the clubs website afterwards, saying: "It was another good workout, these are what these games are all about. "I thought that the first half was a little bit slow and laboured. I didn't feel we moved the ball around quick enough in the first period, but we had a lot more penetration in the second half and I think that our superiority showed, and we were much more positive with our passing. "Alex is a great header of the ball and we know if we can get good quality into him in the right areas then he will score more goals like that," added Raynor. "There was some good service into him in the second half and he did terrifically well with the headers. It has been a tough week, the lads have worked very hard, three games in seven days is tough which is why we have tried to limit everyone to 45 minutes a game. "The fitness levels are really good and the pleasing thing is that bar one or two little knocks we have come through this unscathed. The lads have done well, it has been a good week of training, we have had some tough competitive games and an enjoyable week," he concluded. The weekend win came after two undefeated run outs at Livingston and Greenock. The Millers now start their run of four successive home friendlies against Bolton tomorrow, 7.45pm.

Barely a fledgling among Puerto Vallarta's established resorts (it opened in April 2012), Now Amber Puerto Vallarta has garnered a loyal fan base for its clean, modern feel. Now Amber's 327 suites boast iPod docks in the bedrooms, Jacuzzis in the bathrooms and minibars that are restocked daily. For an even more luxurious experience, guests suggest upgrading to a Preferred Club Suite for access to a private section of the beach and afternoon hors d'oeuvres. Now Amber's Unlimited-Luxury all-inclusive package covers the cost of accommodations, meals and drinks at the resort's seven restaurants and five bars and lounges. And with the Sip, Savor & See Dining Experience, adult visitors can try dinner at the restaurants at the nearby Secrets Vallarta Bay. But vacation isn't all about eating, so Now Amber offers plenty of land and water activities — like boogie boarding, yoga and snorkeling — to fill your days. Even younger guests can get in on the fun, whether they're watching a movie on the beach with the Explorer's Club for Kids or mingling at the late-night mixers in the teen lounge, the Core Zone.

By Intern Courtney in Feminism on Dec 02, 2011
You wouldn't normally think of Forbes.com as a destination for lady-centric political articles, but blogger Hannah Woit brings up some interesting issues in her recent column for the site. She writes about her mental battle with the concepts of traditionally "feminine" behaviors, and how she reconciles them with her feminist views. Woit asks herself, "I enjoy making a sandwich for my boyfriend… Can I still be a feminist?" and muses, "I should wear high heels – they'll make my legs look great with this skirt," before chastising herself, "High heels are a symbol of male domination!" I sometimes struggle with similar issues--how can I call myself a feminist when I'll spend $100 on makeup in Sephora? Shouldn't my natural beauty be good enough?
For ladies struggling with the same questions, Woit urges you to remember that "the [feminist] movement was (and is and always will be) about the individual choices that women make as to how to live their lives." Do you feel pangs of confusion over whether or not it's anti-feminist to shave your pits or buy lingerie? Let us know in the comments, and check out Hannah Woit at Forbes.com for other girly insights.

text: Hi! I was wondering if anyone had any non traditional healthy breakfast options out there? A little info first, I used to rarely ever eat breakfast. I simply would not be hungry in the morning and then I'd overeat terribly at night. Now after making some changes, especially incorporating exercise, I'm hungry at the times of day when I should be. The problem - I'm not a fan of a lot of breakfast foods. Eggs especially don't settle well with me unless they are boiled. So far I've been eating a low calorie or whole grain piece of bread with peanut butter, a peanut butter and banana smoothie, or a fruit smoothie - but I need help with more options, especially for protein. Plus, I work full time and not a morning person so I rarely cook in the morning. Any tips or recipes would be helpful! :)

Hello all,
Has any of you hobbyists mixed mulch into your planting bed/area? I saw some really good results from my uncle who put down a layer of mulch, rototilled it and a year later, the roots of his vegetables that allow multiple cuttings were twice as healthy as anybody elses. I thought that this was maybe due to the mulch trapping more moisture around the roots? Id like to hear some of your guys inputs or expirience with it. Thanks
Follow-Up Postings:
Danny, Each year I cover my garden paths with finely chipped wood chips. I have a chipper-shredder and many brush piles so I have an almost unlimited supply. In the fall I till under everything, including the paths with the wood chips. The results are quite good, as you have described, only you have to add extra nitrogen because the bacteria and fungi that decompose the small wood chips can deplete the nitrogen from your soil in the process. MM |
- Posted by sylviatexas z8a Tx (My Page) on Thu, Mar 22, 07 at 15:41
If you just lay the wood chips on top of the soil, you won't need to add nitrogen. |
Last year we put a heavy layer of wood shavings from a stable which also contained mostly urine & it was not composted. I like it very much in the walkways, the more the better. On the beds as mulch the veg. did well that summer. I thought there was too much Nit.(from urine) though so did not add anything other than compost to the soil this spring. As it turns out there appears to be a lack of nitro. in the beds this time so have been removing shavings off to the paths & placing wood ash alfalfa meal & compost around the vegs. I am going to do some soil testing to determine precisly but I am sure of the lack of N & suspect the pH is off also. The climate is arid here & deep shavings hold moisture well. It takes a long time to compost wood. |
- Posted by ronalawn82 z9FL (email@example.com) on Sat, Apr 28, 07 at 18:23
It is not unusual for plants to show a shortage of nitrogen after uncomposted material is put down; apparently the beneficial bacteria which break down the material have to get nitrogen. After the material is broken down, the nitrogen is then available to the plant. |
- Posted by gardengrub 9 (My Page) on Mon, May 28, 07 at 16:32
I've had the same problem as kabuti above. I also created a problem with oak leaves that was similar. Watering the vegetables with fish emulsion seems to help. |
Once you have the "cycle" going, it's self sustaining. The bacteria that break down the wood need nitrogen to grow and take it from the soil, but when they did they release it back....and if you add more wood chips that titrogen goes to feed the new bacteria....so you really only have to add nitrogen the first time you add wood chips...in theory, you hit an equilibrium, and form what I have seen in my own gardens, that's the way it works.

In some Asian countries, rats are eaten like chicken. Also, in parts of Afrika, the giant rat, cane rat and common house all grace the dining table and in fact are very popular.
Frozen Rats are treated as a larger version of mice. Giant, Large an Medium sizes are suitable for adult Pythons, Boa Constrictors and similar sized snakes plus large lizards.
Small Rat are suitable for adult/large juvenile Pythons, Boa Constrictors and similar sized snakes plus medium to large lizards.
Weaner rats are suitable for large juvenile Pythons, Boa Constrictors and similar sized snakes plus medium.
Hairless rats have a strange appearance and special needs that are slightly different from the averaged furred pet rat. Hairless rats are bred from Rex rats, one of many rat breeds. Rex rats, which have a coat that's curlier and coarser than an average fancy rat, have one copy of the Rex gene. When a rat gets two copies of the Rex gene, he is born hairless. Hairless rats are sometimes referred to as " Double Rex" rats, a reference to the two copies of the Rex gene. Unlike many other "hairless" animals, hairless rats are almost completely bald. Most will have some fine, sparse fur near the nose, around the ankles, and on the tail, but otherwise, they're all skin. This hairless attribute means that hairless rats have specialized care requirments, different furred rats.

Compact | Rate recommendations
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. I wanted to like it. But the writing is very poor. The intrusion of the narrator (and the author through skill-less prose) is very obnoxious. Read the other two-star reviews. they are VERY accurate. I tried twice to get into it. The second time willing to repress my standards to get a good story. But it was just so bad that I couldn't do it. finished two thirds. No mas, compadre. No mas. Absorbing and interesting if annoying in parts. The threads of the story are good but don't always wrap together in terms of believability, but it does have a kind of steampunky vibe. I am honestly stuck between 2, 3, and 4 stars, but choose to go with the latter due to personal notions. Those notions are that I am tired of people and there incessant need to rewrite history or the continuous desire to only pick the most widely known crimes to play their novels from. Isn't it more notable to look into something that isn't easy to find rather than play on what everyone has already played with? It's sloppy seconds when it comes to yet another Jack the Ripper story, but like I said, I knew that going in. So, for plot, character, and development I went with the higher score. Inventiveness gets a 0. So, the story is not new in virtually any aspect, but the writing is good. I read before getting the book that the writer appears to ramble and give a lot of drivel for the reader to trudge through and that the writer continues to overuse adjectives. I was prepared going in to sidestep these flaws. It can be difficult to know what is enough, too much, or too little. So, throw it in there because the reader will delete what they don't like anyhow. I wasn't taken back so much by the overuse but that it seemed to give a melancholy air about the story. The beginning is difficult to follow, as from paragraph to paragraph I had to guess who was even telling the story (the flip-flopping between Andrew POV and the Narrator telling me to forget so and so). Then, by the time we get to the huge dramatic event that has caused Andrew to want to end his life…it flounders. There's no real climax because the protagonist at this point doesn't seem as enthused about the story so why should I be? Andrew wonders throughout the story in a fog and that makes it difficult to get on board. The people in the story really have to be a part of their story or else the reader can't. Maybe that's why it's gotten bad reviews? 2.5 (for now) If you haven't read or you are planning to read The Time Machine by H. G. Wells, do it before reading this book since it is almost completely retold here. The Time Machine is too good to be read as a retelling for the first time. I can't remember the last time I had difficulty rating a book. Sometimes I can't make up my mind right away, but it doesn't last long. With The Map of Time it is even worse than that. On the one hand some things are five star material and on the other, there are quite a few things which deserve one star rating (for me, at least). That being said, The Map of Time is a very strange story. I've read only the blurb, which is so misleading that you will wonder if you've read the same book. I went into it without reading any reviews. I am not sure if that is a good thing or not. I was surprised a few times, which is a good thing. But I was also bored at times, especially when occasional tedious history or literary lessons started. Further more, after reading the complete story, I have this feeling that everything I've read isn't new and that it can be found somewhere else. The novel is divided into three parts, three overlapping stories. It is told by an omnipresent narrator, another thing which I'll come back to, and each of the three stories have their own shorter ones. The first starts with a young man preparing to commit suicide on the eighth anniversary of the death of his beloved, the last victim of Jack the Ripper. His cousin offers another solution. The rest of the story is their attempt of saving the girl with the help of H.G. Wells and his time machine. The second story chronologically starts before the first, but as the annoying narrator tells us (yes, us) he chose that order just because "there are stories that cannot begin at their beginning, and perhaps this is one of them." It doesn't matter anyway. This is about an upper-class woman bored with everything and everyone around her, dreaming of all-consuming love and uncontrollable passion. A company Murray's Time Travel offers journeys to the year 2000 on their flier and Claire decides to go with her friend and see the final battle between automatons and humans. Her plan is to stay there. Her attempt to stay behind triggers a strange chain of events. This story also involves H.G. Wells. It's up to us to decide if it is a true happy ending. While Wells is a glue that holds this book together, he is only a side character in the first two stories. In the third he is directly involved. Someone is killing people in London leaving them with a hole in their chest and quotations from novels not yet published. Their wound is so strange that Scotland Yard inspector suspects a time-traveller, so Wells is the one who tries to find the murderer who may be from another era. What I don't like in this book is its omniscient narrator who constantly reminds us of his presence and knowledge. The story is often interrupted by the narrator to tell us this or that about the characters, the events, the future and whatnot. Next, the book is pretty slow. It would have been better if it hadn't meandered all around the place (we don't have to know every single tiny thing about a character passing through a hallway). Some reasons why I am not rating this higher are those occasional tedious history lessons (especially near the end of the book), the depiction of women (not one of the women has any personality), wrong origin of one of the most famous people in science and retelling of The Time Machine almost in its entirety. Since I've read The Time Machine it wasn't so bad and I was just reminded of the events, but still there was no need for all that. These are just my personal preferences. We are warned by that omniscient narrator that the story is not what you think it is. Neither is what I just wrote here. If you want to read it, expect a lot more than you could find in what I wrote. Anyway, I'll play it safe and rate it almost I like it. For me this definitely wasn't a four/five-star book, but I but I'll probably try the second one anyway. An outstanding book! After a lifetime of reading, it is rare that I am unable to determine within a few chapters where the author is heading. But this great book kept me guessing right until the last pages. And, as the book is a collection of three, separate but related stories, the author did it three times in a row! Bravo, Mr. Palma, bravo! And thank you for your effort!
Though the novel occasionally moves slowly, there is so much going on that one is almost grateful for being able to take a breath, before being whisked back into the adventure. And that is what The Map of Time truly is, despite its steampunkish inclinations, and a bit of masquerading as literary science fiction: a rollicking good adventure yarn that, with a nudge and a wink and a bit of sleight of hand, is sure to leave delight in its wake and a smile on one's face. And that, Dear Reader, is really all one can ask for. Palma wanders in and out of genres—is his book science fiction? literary fiction? fantasy? Whatever the answer, it's great fun to read, particularly for those with a bent for counterfactual history. Was inspired by
