Disclaimer: The characters belong to someone much greater than I.
Summary: A scholar should be logical as well as intelligent. His mind was a fathomless pit of miserable intellect.
Author's Note: 100 Theme Contest for Writers
Cold intellect was intriguing to someone such as myself. It was astounding that someone so full of life could be as detached as he was. A book was open on his desk with a candle adorning the gentle glow that was already present in his room. I stood on the cobblestone street outside of his window and watched. The streetlights were lit and the paths were only frequented by whores or criminals. None noticed my nondescript appearance with my flaming red locks hidden slightly by the sides of my fashionable coat. They would be the only thing that could possibly identify me since the tattoos upon my face were hidden from any vagrant eyes that might have passed over me.
His blue blood was like a poison I needed. It was dangerous, oh so dangerous, but his taste was tinged with something as addictive as opium. I loved the struggling nobles who fell into my lap so easily. He walked back into the room with his jacket off. All of his under trappings and vestments were still finely pressed but his slate colored hair was ruffled in an unusual way. I wondered, who had mussed his hair? Who had touched something that belonged to me? I would snap their necks. I would watch them bleed on the ground and I would revel in the humiliation of their muscle spasms and bowels releasing. Their embarrassment would sate my rage.
His delicate hands pulled at his hair a little and his collar was strained as he looked at the ceiling. His manicured fingers massaged his temples and I realized at once that he was plagued with a headache. He commonly got those. How human of him
My stealthy position was becoming bothersome because I wanted my saturated lust to be filled. He would bow to me and meet my desires. My footsteps were cold and harsh against the backdrop of the cool London boulevard but as soon as I was near to his door I guarded myself less. Three crisp knocks echoed into his house from my knuckles. He groaned, something silent to any human ears but I could hear, God could I hear. That sigh, that exhalation would turn into more. His cries, moans and stuttered words would prove to send me towards the edge of heaven.
He was the Forbidden Kingdom and I relished every moments the fragile boy shared with me. He would die soon, so soon. I would leave him behind like I had left those before him. When the door opened his blank gaze greeted me without visible reaction. Yet the booming sound of his pounding heart quickened in my ears and my fangs distended of their own freewill. My hunger ignited like fire in my veins in response to his fear.
"Now." It was all I had to say after he motioned me in. He knew everything that was coming, he knew his place up against the wall under the flurry of gropes that suddenly overtook my hands. He was my prize, my toy. He pressed his fingers into the back of my neck and threaded those little hands of his into my hair. He urged my mouth towards his barren neck and I obliged.
The pain he felt was excruciating for a moment and I knew this because his rigidity under me but then he moaned in earnest. I didn't care about his comfort. I took from him until I was barely hungry and then my mouth was on his. Confusion overtook him but he responded as soon as the drugged haze that my bites sent him into lifted. His free hand had begun to run down my body as was normal. The exhilaration from the show he'd put on for me was addicting.
The top layer of his clothing was nearly gone when I yanked him roughly from where he was pinned on the wall and dragged his weak human body down the hall towards his bedroom into which I tossed him. His body crumpled onto the floor and one nearly glowing sapphire eyes shot daggers at me.
He was a masterpiece. Pale hair was dyed nearly silver by the moon coming in from the balcony, his skin was drained to a pearl white color that sharpened the red hues of blood smudged around his lips and neck. The starched white of his dress shirt was wrinkled and his vest hung off of one arm while he huffed in furious pants. He was such a beautiful mess and he truly was mine to ravage. How could anyone refuse a weak, willing, beautiful boy? His shirt was open to reveal his dark chained necklace and the violent rises and falls of his lungs as they slowed marginally.
"Get on the bed." My order was responded to with an air of indignation but it was followed nonetheless and I solaced myself with the knowledge that his pride would be wiped away soon enough. How many times had I dominated him and yet he still held such contempt at the situation? I had mastered the pathetic human and yet he was ungrateful for what I did. As he placed himself in the center of his large mattress I stalked towards him. His eyes followed each movement and my own sight beheld only him in all his flustered glory. A beautiful toy to be broken
His rouge shaded lips were a temptation that I kissed in a suggestively deigned manner. My mouth barely reached his, the moonlight still shown upon his dampened pout as my tongue slid sensually over the curvature of the skin there. I lightly lapped at the blood smudged upon the corners of his lips and traced my skilled organ over his teeth as his mouth opened in too much anticipation.
The crash of our teeth made him whimper with pain but he did not resist as I pressed further, the warmth of him intoxicating. My knees pinned him in place but he still struggled against my kiss after a few moments. I wondered why he bothered. His breathing was ragged as he wished for a reprieve despite his own body's request for more. I pulled away only for a second to allow him oxygen and satisfied myself with licking his jaw.
The pain was like nothing I had felt in such a long time. It was as if my whole being was torn in two pieces for a fraction of a second before both divides convulsed and threaded together impossibly. An icy fire flew through my body over and over as the boy under me plunged his silver dagger into my chest a plethora of times. His eyes were wild with rage and excitement, his smile was sadistic as he watched my strangled screams. My voice failed me while his blood pumped with adrenalin and he fitfully shredded my chest.
Blood soaked the duvet and pillows. Specks of scarlet liquid flew to the walls where they laid in decoration and memory of what had happened. Wish fascination he dug his hands into my chest cavity and his fingers latched around my undead heart. Fear had not been an emotion I had felt very much since my rebirth, yet that boy, that weak human forced anguish to establish itself on my face once more and another feeling akin to pure terror. My body was convulsing out of my control but I tried to grasp him.
I wanted to snap his neck. Who was he, a porcelain doll, to break me? Who did he think he was to shred my skin and hold my heart so poetically in his hand? A gurgling choke erupted from my mouth at last, a sound louder than the rasps of pain and shock. His wide eyes watched my face as it contorted with the movements of his nails over my most sensitive organ. He was drenched in red, his hair was tossed around with madness as he laughed darkly. I had never heard a laugh so sick from someone still alive.
A fraction of a second from death I saw him move to run his tongue over the silver of the blade before he tossed it out of reach and latched his mouth to my gaping wounds where his hand had been moment before. My life, my blood, my immortality he stole. He raped my heart with his tongue and lapped the crimson liquid straight from its source, I damned my unnatural life for preserving my body and forcing me to feel his sickly sweet hands move down my hips. I wished I had been human to die quickly and not have suffered the pain and humiliation of immobilization
yet vampires were made to endure. I was barely conscious as he gulped down what was left of my life source. My veins were ignited with flames and my throat felt barren. I rasped and choked but his cool laughter was all I could hear as he used the back of his forearm to wipe the icy blood away. The clear sapphire of his eyes were fascinatingly clouded with a stone cold purple as the transformation began. He would make a wonderful vampire.
"You're going to die." He said without feeling, as if I had not realized that fact before. The dagger was in his hand once again and before my slowing mind could process what was happening the blade was straight through my heart.

Hey, do you smell something? No seriously, what is that terrible odor? Oh, I see, somebody thought it would be a good idea to take their shoes off and put them in this advertisement. Well let me tell you, that is not a very good idea! Your dirty shoes and used socks are disgusting; all its doing is making me want to flip to another page so that I won't have to deal with the terrible stench. But then again, considering how bad this commercial (and game) is perhaps that horrible smell fits in perfectly.
So this is Track Meet, a simple name for a simple game. "Blow their socks off," it says. And how do they intend to hype you up for your race? Apparently they want to get you excited by explaining in vivid detail just what is going on. "You're in the blocks. The coliseum crowd is hushed. The starter gun cracks. You're off!" Um ... yeah, that's not very exciting. But wait, there's more. "You take the lead! You're maneuvering perfectly. You just might beat your smile-flashing opponent Jack Strop, and go on to product endorsement stardom." Uggh. Is this an advertisement for a video game or an excerpt from the world's lamest children's book?
But you know what is truly offensive about this commercial? It's not the narration or the smelly shoes. Nope, it's that blasted cover of Track Meet! Take a look at the character on the front cover, he may look like an athlete, but he's not. How do I know? Because his shoes are untied! There's just no way a real track meet athlete would be running a race (with hurdles even) with their shoes untied. I'm sorry Interplay, but you fail. Or maybe this untied shoes thing is actually a metaphor. Maybe this guy is telling us that he doesn't care about winning, just like we shouldn't care about this game. And you know what? I don't care about this game ... or this terrible advertisement. Goodness, I feel like I'm the one that lost the race!

Article ID: 298879 - View products that this article applies to. This article was previously published under Q298879 SYMPTOMSBy default, DSAccess or ADAccess chooses the primary domain controller (PDC) emulator operations master role computer to handle requests in Microsoft Exchange. This action may result in poor performance if other non-Exchange programs are making heavy use of the PDC emulator. RESOLUTIONTo resolve this issue, use one of the following methods, as appropriate for your situation. Method 1: Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server and later versions To resolve this problem in Exchange 2000 Server and later versions, add the MinUserDC registry value to exclude the PDC emulator from the server list that Exchange can use. Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 322756
How to back up and restore the registry in WindowsTo add the MinUserDC registry value, follow these steps:
In Exchange Server 2007 and in Exchange Server 2010, you can use a cmdlet to configure the ADAccess component to exclude a particular domain controller or a list of domain controllers from use. To do this, use the Set-ExchangeServer command together with the StaticExcludedDomainControllers option. The following example shows how to use the Set-ExchangeServer command to exclude one or more domain controllers from use. Additionally, this example shows how to verify the status of the Exchange environment after you run the Set-ExchangeServer command. In this example, you have the following servers: Collapse this table
Set-ExchangeServer -identity E2K7-1.contoso.com -StaticExcludedDomainControllers:$null STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section. MORE INFORMATIONIn Exchange Server 2007 and in Exchange Server 2010, you can use the Set-ExchangeServer cmdlet to configure the ADAccess component to exclude a particular domain controller or a list of domain controllers from use. You do not have to edit the registry when you use the Set-ExchangeServer cmdlet. However, you should use caution when you use the Set-ExchangeServer cmdlet to exclude a domain controller from use. For example, if your domain has Domain_Controller_A and Domain_Controller_B, and you use the Set-ExchangeServer cmdlet to exclude Domain_Controller_A from use, Exchange Server stops working if Domain_Controller_B is not available. You can also add the MinUserDC registry value to exclude the PDC emulator from use by the ADAccess component. When you use the MinUserDC registry value, you can set a minimum level of domain controller resources before the server that has the PDC Emulator role is enabled to handle Exchange requests. The MinUserDC registry value has the following advantages over using the Set-ExchangeServer cmdlet:

invitation to new members?2bigdogs May 31st, 2007, 03:28 PM Is there an easy way to invite a new member? My daughter would love this site! Thanks heidiho May 31st, 2007, 03:34 PM Not sure what you mean tell her to sign up and introduce herself. papillonmama May 31st, 2007, 03:59 PM I think I understand, like a button that creates an email alert, you put in your e-mail address and you put in your friend that you want to invite, and a place for a short message. Good idea :) marko June 1st, 2007, 12:06 AM Hmmm - good question. To tell you the truth, I don't know offhand but I will look into it in the next few days and report back. Thanks! Marko marko June 1st, 2007, 01:07 PM So it does not seem like we have anything that invites people at this point but that is a VERY good idea, thank you. We may have a solution though - and we'll try to see if we can implement it. For now, I guess the easiest alternative is just to give someone the forum's address and let them know that it's free to register. http://www.pets.ca/forum/index.php Thanks! Marko 2bigdogs June 4th, 2007, 10:17 AM papillonmama...yes thats exactly what i was suggesting...THANKS:laughing: Marko-Thanks for the link I'll just e-mail my daughter..she lives in Japan and has a beautiful rabbit. |

Following the failure of BMW and Peter Sauber to reach a takeover deal on time to sign the new Concorde Agreement a vacancy on the 2010 has been created. Max Mosley wasted no time and wrote to the teams on his reserve list (unsuccessful candidates for 2010 F1 entry as well as BMW Sauber) informing them that about the newly available place on the F1 grid.
This may look harsh on Peter Sauber who still continues to look for a way to save the team he created in the early 90s. On the other hand the it is hard to blame FIA for this action. If anyone is to jump in and fill the empty space left behind by BMW they need to know sooner rather than later.

Mido hits out at swap talk
09 Jan 2009 - 11:31:18
Middlesbrough striker Mido has reacted angrily to reports that he has been the subject of a swap deal involving Newcastle United.
The Egypt international has hit out after being linked with a move to the Magpies in a deal which would see Alan Smith head in the opposite direction.
Mido, whose career has been overshadowed by fall-outs with various club and international managers, has revealed he sounded out Boro boss Gareth Southgate to air his grievances.
The well-travelled striker claims he was kept in the dark about the proposed transfer to another north-east club.
"I'm very angry no-one informed me of the ongoing talks before today and I made sure manager Gareth Southgate knows how I feel," he said.
"I was told that Newcastle made an offer to buy me and that Middlesbrough asked for Alan Smith as part of the deal taking me to St James' Park.
"I still haven't made up my mind about moving. I've a lot of respect for the Middlesbrough fans.
"They've always supported me and I want to stay and repay their faith in me."

The elusive (to me) gray jay
"You've never seen a gray jay?!?" a co-worker and birder asked, incredulous. Incredulous that with as much time as I've spent in the Adirondacks, I've never seen one of these handsome boreal birds. While I don't consider myself a "birder," I do like to notice what's around when I'm out in the woods, whether it's […]

With the Capital Region already reeling from multiple scandals — from Joe Bruno's fall from grace, a paralyzed and inept state government and local school board members behaving badly to name a few – the local hiking community was shocked this morning to discover photos […]

Here is a letter that Brech wrote to a friend that he said we could put up on our website. wow, catherine, what a crazy time we're having i prague... last night we drove 10 1/2 hours through the austrian alps to find ourselves in prague, at the end of our shorter and shorter tour(tho' tonite we may play a gig here) we decided to blow the last of our profit at a glitzy czech night club, the drinks actually cost more than a dollar, so we knew it was nice. hard to believe, but bjork's drummer was there, a tall man, who much like us, liked to drink hard and party harder. i told him that i knew the old drummer from the sugarcubes, siggi baldurson, he said that he too knew him, that they were old friends. yessirreebob, that was our in. i told him that all tour i had been telling people that i once took a shower with bjork, and that it was crazy to run into her drummer. he laughed and made a phone call and within 15 minutes bjork arrived, i guess she was at a nicer club down the street. he had told her of my tall tale, she thought it was hilarious and we set to drinkin', goddamn can that girl drink, and dance, too. after about 20 beam and cokes(which she wouldn't even let me pay for) i got her out on the dance floor to do her thing, the world was a spinning menagerie of lights, bourbon, and bjork. the next part i think i blacked out, but somehow all of us ended up back at bjork's hotel, it doesn't need to be said, but it was swank. the stereo in that joint was nicer than the clubs', things got bumpin'. bjork kept bringing up the story about the "shower incident", i think it might have been the bravery of the beam, but i told her we might as well go take one. she said that her husband was in the other room,.... damn, ..shot down, .. but when she saw my heart drop, she reassured me that he wasn't a jealous man, BAMM!!, i thought to myself. i practically had my pants around my ankles, sprinting for the bathroom, once again, it was swank. bjork followed me into the shower(imagine what king hussein might shower in), but she wouldn't take off her bejewelled panties, i kept ribbing her and ribbing her about it and finally she gave in, it turns out that she had shaven her pubic hair into a letter, (from the looks of it one that doesn't exist in the english language)the first letter of her husband's name, a husband which happened to be the the drummer, .... i guess he isn't a jealous man. home soon, love, ........B 11/30/01: ANNIVERSARY OF FRANKENCHRIST Today is the 16th anniversary of the release of Frankenchrist by the Dead Kennedys. More controversial than the album itself was the packaging: The Shriners filed suit regarding the cover (pictured were some of the ridiculous little cars they drive); and a poster included in the album was later the basis of obscenity charges against Jello Biafra and Alternative Tentacles. 11/28/01: NEW WAR TRADING CARDS (from TOPPS website:) A NEW SERIES DOCUMENTING AMERICA'S GREATEST CHALLENGE This high-gloss 90-card set contains biographical information on the civilian and military leaders entrusted to guide us through this fight, statistical data and photos of military hardware.

East Bay Ray complained to us that Brandon had received nasty emails due to us posting that letter, which contained his email address. One person sent Brandon an email threatening violence which wasn't cool, so we complied with Ray's pleading to remove the letter. However, every day people are emailing us wanting to get a copy of the letter. So, here it is. Without his email address. Remember kids, violence isn't cool.
Date : September 24, 2001 11/27/01: WTO TOILET SUMMIT ANNOUNCED TOILET SUMMIT (Singapore-AP) -- Jack Sim wants to break the silence on the topic of toilets. He's the founder of the 17-nation World Toilet Organization. The inaugural W-T-O summit took place recently in Singapore. And the members have declared every November 19th from now on World Toilet Day. Sim says the day will be used to promote awareness of the need for good toilets. The W-T-O has released nine aims, including improving the quality of toilet environments and promoting better toilets for all people on earth. Korea will host the next summit. Many industry members say that country has the best but most expensive toilets. 11/22/01: WHY DOC DART (Crucifucks) GETS HATE CALLS AFTER 9/11 It didn't take long for Doc Corbin Dart to publicly express his ideas following the Sept. 11 attacks. Since that day he's posted signs on the front of his Okemos house such as : "U.S. terror in Iraq makes Sept. 11th a tiny mirror image," and "U.S. Troops terrorize as cowards from the skies. They should be in body bags." The reaction has been just as quick. He's faced everything from rocks thrown at his window to visits from the State Police, who, he said, walked around the perimeter of his property taking pictures. All along, Dart said he has also received menacing phone calls. "The threats at first were rather veiled, but starting last Wednesday or maybe the week before that, the veils came off. They've been completely death threats," her said. One of the signs on Dart's house lists a phone number, which is how he's received most of his threats. Tapes recorded on his answering machine contain messages such as: "I'll brace myself for a long, long time...but in the end I'm going to kill all of you...all of you dead." "I will kill you if I get the chance." Dart said that because of his opposition to the actions of the United States in Afghanistan, many people assume he's Arabic. One caller left the message: "Here's an idea-how about you camel jockeys go back to your goddamn country, leave us alone and pray to your fake God." "Everything that I'm doing has been under the heading of the Animal Liberation Front, because human beings are animals and they won't admit it," Dart said. "There's not much that separates us from animals except that they're awake and alert and most humans are asleep." To Dart, it is a moral imperative to act out against suffering in the world. He cites the assassination of John Lennon as a turning point. "That's kind of when it started for me. That was the final straw." After multiple arrests during the mid-1980s in the name of various causes, Dart said he sank into a severe depression that lasted for years. About three years ago, he said his depression lifted and he began to work on what he calls "mystical trances," which he said is the antithesis of meditation. It is through his work with trances that led Dart to leave this message for anyone who calls the phone number posted on the front of his house: "His name is the number 26...He is the Messiah...He has arrived at the mountaintop...And no one on earth can bring him down." "Someone with divine authority had to step in and stop the destruction of nature, and the out of control propagation of the human species," he said. And Dart believes he is that authority. "But it's hard for people to understand that because I don't look the part." He said that there is a purpose to the expression of his claims, and that the signs are meant to "call attention to the terrorism initiated by the United States." "It's not a local project, and it won't be finished until I've had my own impact on foreign policy," Dart said. That impact, according to Dart, would include a realignment of the United Nations so that more powerful countries don't have stronger influence. Also, he feels that the United Nations should go in between the Palestinians and Israelis to stop the violence there and begin negotiations until a fair settlement is reached, "for the Palestinians in particular." But the biggest impact for Dart would be to help convince the United States to "pull all of its tentacles out of the Middle East, and perhaps make reparations to the Iraqi people and others," he said. 11/18/01: AUCTION TO BENEFIT DIAL HOUSE (THE CRASS HOUSE) 22 Nov - 1 Dec : Art and Music Memorablia Auction The DIAL HOUSE TRUST BENEFIT In order to help the infamous punk band Crass repay the debts that they incurrred in the purchasing of the house they've lived in for over thirty years and utilize as a local community center, a bunch of artists, music makers, etc have donated works of art and an auction begins next week on eBay.Participants include: Cynthia Connolly, Pat Graham, Maya Hayuk, Tortoise, David Tibet (Current 93), Steven Stapleton (Nurse With Wound), Alec Mackaye, Sean Meadows, Modest Mouse, Winston Smith, Savage Pencil, V.

DIAL HOUSE For a really fascinating, inspiring, and totally worthwhile read
about Dial House, see 11/10/01: Mumia Abu-Jamal on detentions Mumia Abu-Jamal on detentions What was the most common response heard to the devastation that struck New York's Twin Towers and the Pentagon on 11 September, 2001? For tens, perhaps hundreds, of thousands of people, especially those in their 50s or older, the carnage and destruction of the aerial attack of 11 September brought to mind the flying squadrons of Imperial Japan when waves of them struck Pearl Harbor on 7 December, 1941. Over 2,300 Americans perished during that attack. As is often the case, people are often right. While there were obviously dissimilarities (Japan was a nation, not an organization) the psychological impact was indeed similar: shock, fear, outrage, and a massive military and social response. After the Pearl Harbor attack, the U.S. declared war by the next day -- December 8th. It also embarked on an internal war of sorts, against Americans of Japanese descent. Within days of the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the media agitated against Japanese-Americans, as did the Los Angeles Times, which wrote: "A viper is nonetheless a viper wherever the egg is hatched - so a Japanese American, born of Japanese parents - grows up to be a Japanese, not an American." Racist editorials such as this paved the way for people like U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt to issue Executive Order 9066, which removed tens of thousands of Japanese-Americans from the West Coast, and placing over 120,000 Japanese men, women, and children in concentration camps, over 60% of whom were American citizens. While there are far more Arab-Americans in the U.S. then there were Japanese-Americans in the U.S. in the 1940s, over 1,000 Arab-Americans are being held in secret, unlimited detention, with no meaningful access to lawyers. The U.S. Justice Dept. recently announced that it will monitor telephone conversations between detainees and lawyers. So, that (internment) hasn't happened -- yet. At the time of World War II, the U.S. government announced it was fighting totalitarianism, and demanded hemispheric unity. As a result, some nations, like Peru, waged virtual war against their Japanese citizens. The Peruvian government froze and confiscated Japanese assets, shut down Japanese businesses and schools, and black-listed the entire Japanese community. Under U.S. pressure, the government forced some of its Japanese citizens to flee back to Japan; 1771 others were deported to the U.S., where they were confined to ugly, dusty concentration camps, in Texas. *These were Spanish-speaking Peruvian citizens*, whose only offenses were having Japanese ancestry! Can what happened in the 1940s happen now? No? Why not? What if another bombing were to occur? Who can say? Copyright 2001 Mumia Abu-Jamal "They that give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve
neither liberty nor safety." "All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation
ought to know that war is the surest and the shortest means to accomplish it"
09/17/01: Tamim Ansary on the Attacks BY: Tamim Ansary (Note: this was originally posted listing him as a Professor at Berkeley. We have just heard that is not a Professor at Berkeley, but someone with a lot of insight.) I've been hearing a lot of talk about "bombing Afghanistan back to the Stone Age." Ronn Owens, on KGO Talk Radio today, allowed that this would mean killing innocent people, people who had nothing to do with this atrocity, but "we're at war, we have to accept collateral damage. What else can we do?" Minutes later I heard some TV pundit discussing whether we "have the belly to do what must be done." And I thought about the issues being raised especially hard because I am from Afghanistan, and even though I've lived here for 35 years I've never lost track of what's going on there. So I want to tell anyone who will listen how it all looks from where I'm standing. I speak as one who hates the Taliban and Osama Bin Laden. There is no doubt in my mind that these people were responsible for the atrocity in New York. I agree that something must be done about those monsters. But the Taliban and Ben Laden are not Afghanistan. They're not even the government of Afghanistan. The Taliban are a cult of ignorant psychotics who took over Afghanistan in 1997. Bin Laden is a political criminal with a plan. When you think Taliban, think Nazis. When you think Bin Laden, think Hitler. And when you think "the people of Afghanistan" think "the Jews in the concentration camps." It's not only that the Afghan people had nothing to do with this atrocity. They were the first victims of the perpetrators. They would exult if someone would come in there, take out the Taliban and clear out the rats nest of international thugs holed up in their country. Some say, why don't the Afghans rise up and overthrow the Taliban? The answer is, they're starved, exhausted, hurt, incapacitated, suffering. A few years ago, the United Nations estimated that there are 500,000 disabled orphans in Afghanistan--a country with no economy, no food. There are millions of widows. And the Taliban has been burying these widows alive in mass graves. The soil is littered with land mines, the farms were all destroyed by the Soviets. These are a few of the reasons why the Afghan people have not overthrown the Taliban. We come now to the question of bombing Afghanistan back to the Stone Age. Trouble is, that's been done. The Soviets took care of it already. Make the Afghans suffer? They're already suffering. Level their houses? Done. Turn their schools into piles of rubble? Done. Eradicate their hospitals? Done. Destroy their infrastructure? Cut them off from medicine and health care? Too late. Someone already did all that. New bombs would only stir the rubble of earlier bombs. Would they at least get the Taliban? Not likely. In today's Afghanistan, only the Taliban eat, only they have the means to move around. They'd slip away and hide. Maybe the bombs would get some of those disabled orphans, they don't move too fast, they don't even have wheelchairs. But flying over Kabul and dropping bombs wouldn't really be a strike against the criminals who did this horrific thing. Actually it would only be making common cause with the Taliban--by raping once again the people they've been raping all this time. So what else is there? What can be done, then? Let me now speak with true fear and trembling. The only way to get Bin Laden is to go in there with ground troops. When people speak of "having the belly to do what needs to be done" they're thinking in terms of having the belly to kill as many as needed. Having the belly to overcome any moral qualms about killing innocent people. Let's pull our heads out of the sand. What's actually on the table is Americans dying. And not just because some Americans would die fighting their way through Afghanistan to Bin Laden's hideout. It's much bigger than that folks. Because to get any troops to Afghanistan, we'd have to go through Pakistan. Would they let us? Not likely. The conquest of Pakistan would have to be first. Will other Muslim nations just stand by? You see where I'm going. We're flirting with a world war between Islam and the West. And guess what: that's Bin Laden's program. That's exactly what he wants. That's why he did this. Read his speeches and statements. It's all right there. He really believes Islam would beat the west. It might seem ridiculous, but he figures if he can polarize the world into Islam and the West, he's got a billion soldiers. If the west wreaks a holocaust in those lands, that's a billion people with nothing left to lose, that's even better from Bin Laden's point of view. He's probably wrong, in the end the west would win, whatever that would mean, but the war would last for years and millions would die, not just theirs but ours. Who has the belly for that? Bin Laden does. Anyone else? END 09/14/01: MORE FROM MOORE on the ATTACKS 9/13/01 Across America Tonight ... Dear Friends, I am on the road tonight, the only way to get out of L.A. and back home to our daughter and our friends in New York City. Oddly enough, I have never driven across this vast country. My wife and I have now stopped in Flagstaff for a few hours sleep before moving on. The sorrow and anger builds across America. Talk radio tonight was filled with calls for carpet-bombing every Arab country. Many want revenge, blood. But a surprising number of people have called for us to not add to the killing of more innocent humans. The rest stops and the convenience stores along the way were filled with quiet, solemn people, many of whom, like us, can get home no other way than by this four-day trip. Our daughter is fine, mostly frightened by my desire to fly home to her rather than drive. Once again, I was outvoted 2 to 1. This is nothing new. We have learned of more people we know who have lost their lives. Bill Weems, who worked as a line producer for us this year, was on the flight from Boston that crashed into the World Trade Center. He was such a sweet and decent soul. Such senseless madness. The children of New York who are orphaned tonight ... what do we say or do? I will do my part -- anything, something -- as soon as I get to New York. But it will never be enough. The firefighters of New York: they are on every other block, every day, and they are your best neighbors. Sitting out on the sidewalks in front of the fire stations, a good word and a kind smile to all who pass ... now, 350+ of them gone, having risked their lives to save the victims of a carnage they soon became part of. A good friend from Flint is a clerical worker at the Pentagon. I have heard no word about her condition. I have tried contacting her family to no avail. Her son, Malcolm, worked on our show. I cannot find him. I keep getting tears in my eyes. Once she gave me a tour of the Pentagon, took me everywhere, and got such a kick out of taking me around this building I used to march on. Will our mutual friends who know Barbara, and know how she is, please write me? Please. The man who occupies the White House cried today. Good. Keep crying, Mr. Bush. The more you cry, the less you will go to that dark side in all humans where anger rages to a point where we want to blindly kill. Your dad's and Reagan's old cronies -- Eagleberger, Baker, Schultz -- are all calling for you to bomb first and ask questions later. You must NOT do this. If only because you do not want to stoop to these mass murderers' level. Yes, find out who did it. Yes, see that they NEVER do it again. But GET A GRIP, man. "Declare war?" War against whom? One guy in the desert whom we can never seem to find? Are our leaders telling us that the most powerful country on earth cannot dispose of one sick evil f---wad of a guy? Because if that is what you are telling us, then we are truly screwed. If you are unable to take out this lone ZZ Top wannabe, what on earth would you do for us if we were attacked by a nation of millions? For chrissakes, call the Israelis and have them do that thing they do when they want to get their man! We pay them enough billions each year, I am SURE they would be happy to accommodate your request. But I beg you, Mr. Bush, stay with the tears. Go today to comfort the wounded of New York. Tell the mayor, a guy most of us have not liked, that he is doing an incredible job, keeping the spirits of everyone up as high as they can be at this moment. Being there for a city I believe he loves, his own cancer still with him, he goes beyond the call of duty. But do not declare war and massacre more innocents. After bin Laden's previous act of terror, our last elected president went and bombed what he said was "bin Laden's camp" in Afghanistan -- but instead just killed civilians. Then he bombed a factory in the Sudan, saying it was "making chemical weapons." It turned out to be making aspirin. Innocent people murdered by our Air Force. Back in May, you gave the Taliban in Afghanistan $48 million dollars of our tax money. No free nation on earth would give them a cent, but you gave them a gift of $48 million because they said they had "banned all drugs." Because your drug war was more important than the actual war the Taliban had inflicted on its own people, you helped to fund the regime who had given refuge to the very man you now say is responsible for killing my friend on that plane and for killing the friends of families of thousands and thousands of people. How dare you talk about more killing now! Shame! Shame! Shame! Explain your actions in support of the Taliban! Tell us why your father and his partner Mr. Reagan trained Mr. bin Laden in how to be a terrorist! Am I angry? You bet I am. I am an American citizen, and my leaders have taken my money to fund mass murder. And now my friends have paid the price with their lives. Keep crying, Mr. Bush. Keep running to Omaha or wherever it is you go while others die, just as you ran during Vietnam while claiming to be "on duty" in the Air National Guard. Nine boys from my high school died in that miserable war. And now you are asking for "unity" so you can start another one? Do not insult me or my country like this! Yes, I, too, will be in church at noon today, on this national day of mourning. I will pray for you, and us, and the children of New York, and the children of this sad and ugly world ... Yours, Michael Moore email@example.com www.michaelmoore.com 09/13/01: CHOMSKY'S INITIAL RESPONSE TO TERRORIST ATTACKS Today's attacks were major atrocities. In terms of number of victims they do not reach the level of many others, for example, Clinton's bombing of the Sudan with no credible pretext, destroying half its pharmaceutical supplies and probably killing tens of thousands of people (no one knows, because the US blocked an inquiry at the UN and no one cares to pursue it). Not to speak of much worse cases, which easily come to mind. But that this was a horrendous crime is not in doubt. The primary victims, as usual, were working people: janitors, secretaries, firemen, etc. It is likely to prove to be a crushing blow to Palestinians and other poor and oppressed people. It is also likely to lead to harsh security controls, with many possible ramifications for undermining civil liberties and internal freedom. The events reveal, dramatically, the foolishness of ideas about "missile defense." As has been obvious all along, and pointed out repeatedly by strategic analysts, if anyone wants to cause immense damage in the US, including weapons of mass destruction, they are highly unlikely to launch a missile attack, thus guaranteeing their immediate destruction. There are innumerable easier ways that are basically unstoppable. But today's events will, nonetheless, be used to increase the pressure to develop these systems and put them into place. "Defense" is a thin cover for plans for militarization of space, and with good PR, even the flimsiest arguments will carry some weight among a frightened public. In short, the crime is a gift to the hard jingoist right, those who hope to use force to control their domains. That is even putting aside the likely US actions, and what they will trigger -- possibly more attacks like this one, or worse. The prospects ahead are even more ominous than they appeared to be before the latest atrocities. Noam Chomsky 09/13/01: MICHAEL MOORE's INITIAL COMMENTS ON THE TERRORIST ATTACKS Dear Friends I was supposed to fly today on the 4:30 PM American Airlines flight from LAX to JFK. But tonight I find myself stuck in L.A. with an incredible range of emotions over what has happened on the island where I work and live in New York City. My wife and I spent the first hours of the day -- after being awakened by phone calls from our parents at 6:40am PT -- trying to contact our daughter at school in New York and our friend JoAnn who works near the World Trade Center. I called JoAnn at her office. As someone picked up, the first tower imploded, and the person answering the phone screamed and ran out, leaving me no clue as to whether or not she or JoAnn would live. It was a sick, horrible, frightening day. On December 27, 1985 I found myself caught in the middle of a terrorist incident at the Vienna airport -- which left 30 people dead, both there and at the Rome airport. (The machine-gunning of passengers in each city was timed to occur at the same moment.) I do not feel like discussing that event tonight because it still brings up too much despair and confusion as to how and why I got to live* a fluke, a mistake, a few feet on the tarmac, and I am still here, there but for the grace of* Safe. Secure. I*m an American, living in America. I like my illusions. I walk through a metal detector, I put my carry-ons through an x-ray machine, and I know all will be well. Here*s a short list of my experiences lately with airport security: * At the Newark Airport, the plane is late at boarding everyone. The counter can*t find my seat. So I am told to just *go ahead and get on* -- without a ticket! * At Detroit Metro Airport, I don*t want to put the lunch I just bought at the deli through the x-ray machine so, as I pass through the metal detector, I hand the sack to the guard through the space between the detector and the x-ray machine. I tell him *It*s just a sandwich.* He believes me and doesn*t bother to check. The sack has gone through neither security device. * At LaGuardia in New York, I check a piece of luggage, but decide to catch a later plane. The first plane leaves without me, but with my bag -- no one knowing what is in it. * Back in Detroit, I take my time getting off the commuter plane. By the time I have come down its stairs, the bus that takes the passengers to the terminal has left -- without me. I am alone on the tarmac, free to wander wherever I want. So I do. Eventually, I flag down a pick-up truck and an airplane mechanic gives me a ride the rest of the way to the terminal. * I have brought knives, razors; and once, my traveling companion brought a hammer and chisel. No one stopped us. Of course, I have gotten away with all of this because the airlines consider my safety SO important, they pay rent-a-cops $5.75 an hour to make sure the bad guys don*t get on my plane. That is what my life is worth -- less than the cost of an oil change. Too harsh, you say? Well, chew on this: a first-year pilot on American Eagle (the commuter arm of American Airlines) receives around $15,000 a year in annual pay. That*s right -- $15,000 for the person who has your life in his hands. Until recently, Continental Express paid a little over $13,000 a year. There was one guy, an American Eagle pilot, who had four kids so he went down to the welfare office and applied for food stamps -- and he was eligible! Someone on welfare is flying my plane? Is this for real? Yes, it is. So spare me the talk about all the precautions the airlines and the FAA is taking. They, like all businesses, are concerned about one thing -- the bottom line and the profit margin. Four teams of 3-5 people were all able to penetrate airport security on the same morning at 3 different airports and pull off this heinous act? My only response is -- that*s all? Well, the pundits are in full diarrhea mode, gushing on about the *terrorist threat* and today*s scariest dude on planet earth -- Osama bin Laden. Hey, who knows, maybe he did it. But, something just doesn*t add up. Am I being asked to believe that this guy who sleeps in a tent in a desert has been training pilots to fly our most modern, sophisticated jumbo jets with such pinpoint accuracy that they are able to hit these three targets without anyone wondering why these planes were so far off path? Or am I being asked to believe that there were four religious/political fanatics who JUST HAPPENED to be skilled airline pilots who JUST HAPPENED to want to kill themselves today? Maybe you can find one jumbo jet pilot willing to die for the cause -- but FOUR? Ok, maybe you can -- I don*t know. What I do know is that all day long I have heard everything about this bin Laden guy except this one fact -- WE created the monster known as Osama bin Laden! Where did he go to terrorist school? At the CIA! Don*t take my word for it -- I saw a piece on MSNBC last year that laid it all out. When the Soviet Union occupied Afghanistan, the CIA trained him and his buddies in how to commits acts of terrorism against the Soviet forces. It worked! The Soviets turned and ran. Bin Laden was grateful for what we taught him and thought it might be fun to use those same techniques against us. We abhor terrorism -- unless we*re the ones doing the terrorizing. We paid and trained and armed a group of terrorists in Nicaragua in the 1980s who killed over 30,000 civilians. That was OUR work. You and me. Thirty thousand murdered civilians and who the hell even remembers! We fund a lot of oppressive regimes that have killed a lot of innocent people, and we never let the human suffering THAT causes to interrupt our day one single bit. We have orphaned so many children, tens of thousands around the world, with our taxpayer-funded terrorism (in Chile, in Vietnam, in Gaza, in Salvador) that I suppose we shouldn*t be too surprised when those orphans grow up and are a little whacked in the head from the horror we have helped cause. Yet, our recent domestic terrorism bombings have not been conducted by a guy from the desert but rather by our own citizens: a couple of ex-military guys who hated the federal government. From the first minutes of today*s events, I never heard that possibility suggested. Why is that? Maybe it*s because the A-rabs are much better foils. A key ingredient in getting Americans whipped into a frenzy against a new enemy is the all-important race card. It*s much easier to get us to hate when the object of our hatred doesn*t look like us. Congressmen and Senators spent the day calling for more money for the military; one Senator on CNN even said he didn*t want to hear any more talk about more money for education or health care -- we should have only one priority: our self-defense. Will we ever get to the point that we realize we will be more secure when the rest of the world isn*t living in poverty so we can have nice running shoes? In just 8 months, Bush gets the whole world back to hating us again. He withdraws from the Kyoto agreement, walks us out of the Durban conference on racism, insists on restarting the arms race -- you name it, and Baby Bush has blown it all. The Senators and Congressmen tonight broke out in a spontaneous version of *God Bless America.* They*re not a bad group of singers! Yes, God, please do bless us. Many families have been devastated tonight. This just is not right. They did not deserve to die. If someone did this to get back at Bush, then they did so by killing thousands of people who DID NOT VOTE for him! Boston, New York, DC, and the planes* destination of California -- these were places that voted AGAINST Bush! Why kill them? Why kill anyone? Such insanity* Let*s mourn, let*s grieve, and when it*s appropriate let*s examine our contribution to the unsafe world we live in. It doesn*t have to be like this* Yours, Michael Moore

Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to make the bottling process run smoothly as I'll be doing it for the first time tomorrow.
Don't forget the priming sugar. I put it in the bottling bucket first and then rack on top of it. If you have a dishwasher use the top rack to drain the bottles after sanitizing and use the door for filling them up. If you are using a bottling wand you cannot put the wand in a bottle while you do something else or it will begin to fill. I did this and when I came back it was overflowing.
I would suggest having a plan and setting up everything in order before you start. Make sure you get your sanitizing done, then have your bottles lined up or on your bottling tree and ready to go. Figure out a system. Fill six then cap them, or fill twelve then cap them and fill the others etc. If you have help then one can fill and the other cap. Whatever, just have a plan and a system. Learn from this time and use your knowledge next time. I lay towels on the floor especially under where I will be filling. Make sure you boil your priming sugar with enough time for it to cool before you get to siphoning. Pour it in gently. Have paper towels handy. I bought a 5 gal bucket at Home Depot to fill with sanitizer solution so I can sanitize a bunch of bottles at once. The bottling tree helps for air drying/draining. Take your time, map it out don't drink too much brew until your almost done or save it until finished. And relax!
I just did my first batch and have not gotten to the bottling, but I have been giving it alot of thought. I have a plastic storage tray that is normally used to keep wrapping paper in. I plan to line up the bottles in there, on the counter, and have the BB on an elevated stand above it. That way, I can sit on a bar stool, have access to the sink (for any spill cleanups) and SWMBO is going to man the capper on the other side of the counter. I'm hoping it works smoothly or else, this may be the shortest hobby career I ever have.
Give your wife a spendy shopping budget and tell her not to look in the kitchen for a few hours.
Yeah, SWMBO wants to be the capper, anything to keep her happy so I can continue to brew. Thanks for the advice, unfortunately for me I don't have a dishwasher (well, I am the dishwasher) so I was planning on lining the bottles up on paper towels on the counter for easy access and then handing them off for capping. Another question is whether I can sanitize my caps or should I really be boiling them?
I sanitize my caps, was told by my LHBS not to boil them. As far as bottling goes, I rack to the bottling bucket then immediately clean the fermentor and fill with approx. two gallons of sanitizer. Before I fill my bottle from the bottling bucket, I pour a few ounces from the now sanitized fermentor and swish around then pour it out, now the bottle is sanitized inside (I use one step). My first brew ever was ruined due to sanitation issues and I haven't had a problem since I started this method.

The Departed(2006)In South Boston, the state police wants to end the reign of powerful mob boss Frank Costello. A young rookie, Billy Costigan, is assigned to infiltrate Costello's mob. Another young cop, Colin Sullivan, is among a handful of elite officers whose mission is to bring Costello down. But Colin is working for Costello, keeping the crime boss one step ahead of the police. Each man becomes consumed by his double life, but when it becomes clear to both the mob and the cops that they have moles in their midst, Billy and Colin must race to uncover the identity of the other man in time to save themselves. For more about The Departed and the The Departed Blu-ray release, see the The Departed Blu-ray Review published by Greg Maltz on September 27, 2007 where this Blu-ray release scored 4.0 out of 5. Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, Mark Wahlberg, Martin Sheen, Vera Farmiga Director: Martin Scorsese » See full cast & crew The Departed Blu-ray, Video QualityFrom the opening footage of south Boston's racial strife to the climactic rooftop scene and final moments, the color and contrast of The Departed ranks among the elite reference-quality BDs. The picture is solid and vibrant, with deep black levels and absolutely gorgeous resolution and color. Some detail was sacrificed in postproduction to give the film its modern feel. Grain and noise is at a minimum, which will please some viewers who aren't accustomed to film artefacts. As for digital artefacts, I see none. Watch the cat-and-mouse scene where Damon is being pursued by DiCaprio in the dark alley. Smoke, reflections and shadows are rendered gorgeously. Dark areas of the screen do not degenerate into pixellation or motion artefacts. About the only possible complaint is that the picture gives up some depth and detail to digitally enhance the color and contrast, with some "glow" effects highlighting bright areas. Scorcese has opted for this look in many of his films, starting I believe with The Age of Innocence. It has become a stylistic choice to go a just a touch soft for more dramatic lighting and saturation. It may not please you if you're a demon for detail, but the effect is stunning while retaining ample realism in 1080p. The Departed Blu-ray, Audio QualityNot only does The Departed boast the best overall picture I've seen from Warner, it is one of the studio's few releases to feature LPCM. The sound is a revelation. Listen to Jack Nicholson's voice in the opening scenes as he shakes down the owner of a local shop and hits on the young clerk who works there. The menacing timbre, vowel sounds and cadence that long ago became Nicholson's trademarks achieve a new presence and palpability, albeit with a fake Boston accent. It is not only Nicholson. All voices have a depth and detail that is stunning and, unlike most DD tracks, utterly nonfatiguing. The music, too, has qualities that exceeded what I am accustomed to on most pop CDs. The entire range, from midbass to treble delivers a realism and detail that Warner should strive for in all its Blu-ray releases. The 5.1 PCM also achieves greater imaging and superior attack and decay of such effects as gunshots, squealing tires and breaking glass. Though the rear speakers and LFE channel is used sparingly, the audio is disarming enough to keep you riveted even when the acting and plot twists are not fully satisfying. Songs like Gimme Shelter weave in and out of the action in characteristic Scorcese fashion, but with an improvement in macrodetail that proves ultimately euphonic and indeed bolsters the overall enjoyment of the production.

Contact Sports Desk: Call: 603-516-2949 / E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com Coe-Brown girls nip Portsmouth
Thursday, February 20, 2014
PORTSMOUTH — The slumping Portsmouth High School girls basketball team found itself fighting a battle on two fronts on Wednesday night.
"This is the first game we've played all year where we've played four complete quarters," said Coe-Brown coach Dave Hartnett. "Everything was balanced. That's been our problem this year, to be able to put four quarters together."
Coe-Brown raced ahead 8-0 out of the gate. But guard Izzy Pafford hit a three to get her sluggish team moving and it was tied, 12-12, after one; the deficit was just 25-23 at halftime.
But the rest was all Bears, who ran the floor expertly in transition and made 11-of-12 free throws. That transition game got Ahern open underneath for a basket and then two free throws, and the Clippers had no more answers. |

Mt. Elbrus: Grom & Team Reach 15,000' on Acclimatization Hike
Posted by: Casey Grom | July 11, 2013
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Elbrus Southside
Elevation: 15,000'
Hello again from Russia!
We woke to clear skies and cool temps which made for nearly perfect hiking conditions on Mt. Elbrus. After a wonderful breakfast of porridge and mini pancakes prepared by our friendly Russian cook, we set out on another acclimatization hike. The team did great and reached an altitude of just over 15,000' in a little under 4 hours. On our descent the clouds came in and almost like clockwork began sprinkling on us right as we pulled back into camp. Lucky us!
We had another delicious lunch and some of us played a little cribbage, while others retired for a nice siesta.
Everyone is in good spirits and looking forward to having a rest day before our upcoming climb.

Shiva, 'the destroyer' among the Hindu trinity (of gods), is depicted in many contradictory manners. He is an ascetic who wears animal skin, his body smeared with ashes. Contradictory to his wild nature, he is also depicted as having a family, with a beautiful wife and two children. There are many more such varied representations of Shiva, the most prominent of these being the Linga and the Nataraja. The author, Devdutt Pattanaik, introduces the readers to these varied aspects and representations, and then sets about interpreting them. He explains the different anomalies and conflicts in beliefs, things that might puzzle people who are not familiar with Hindu culture and religious symbolism.
The author has taken up seven aspects of Shiva worship from Hinduism, which are nothing but seven different forms of Shiva worship. Shiva is worshipped in many forms, as the Lingeshwara, Kala Bhairava, Sundareshwara, Shankara, and Nataraja, and the author goes into each form and analyzes what it represents. He also discusses Shivas two sons, Ganesha and Karthikeya. He goes into the symbolism behind these forms and provides his interpretation. This book serves as a nice introduction to Shaivite concepts and explains many stories, both known and unknown, the symbolism, and rituals and the reasons behind Hindu worship.

Artist, Yogi, lover of strange books
If you are into yoga, meditation or are seeking to grow spiritually you need to listen to this book. I spend a lot of time reading and listening to eastern spirituality books and a lot of it is the same thing said different ways. This is actually different, it goes into depth about some ideas that were touched on in my yoga teacher training. So glad I found this!!!
"prabha loves Mahadev"
This story is so beautiful and captivating. I love Shiva and Parvati so dear to me. I will enjoy this for many years to come. Thank you very much.
"Provides an Excellent understanding of Hinduism"
After a lot of hunting, I found this audio book, which provides a very good understanding of the metaphors in Hinduism. What Hinduism is and why it is the way it is.
Well pleased that I bought and heard it. I will probably have to hear it a number of times tidily grasp all the concepts explained.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

Consistent Crusaders look to become Championship Contenders
Holy Cross featured a stingy defense in the 2011 campaign, allowing just 20 points per game and less than 200 passing yards per contest. The Crusaders also held the mighty Lehigh offense to just 14 points in a game where they fell short by just 7 points. There will be some holes to fill on the defensive side of the ball this year, as 2011's leading tackler Ricky Otis has moved on. Senior Tom Mannix will be a focal point on defense. He ranked second on the team with 87 total tackles last year, and also forced 3 fumbles.
Offense will be a question for the Crusaders. Last season, Ryan Taggart started all 11 games, throwing for nearly 3000 yards and 17 touchdowns. Taggart has since graduated, and Senior Kevin Watson appears have the edge in the battle for the starting QB position. Watson hasn't thrown a pass in game action since the 2010 season. Gerald Mistretta, a 2011 All Patriot League Wide Receiver, should make things a lot easier for whoever is under center. Mistretta had 723 receiving yards and caught six touchdowns last year.

The students paid $3,000-$6,000 each to come to the U.S. this summer for what they thought would be a cultural exchange program. Instead, they found themselves packing chocolates at the Hershey's plant in deeply exploitative conditions. Their demands: end the exploitation of student workers at the Hershey's plant, return the money they paid for a cultural exchange, and make these jobs living wage jobs for local Pennsylvania workers.

Scientific Laboratories at SNS
A new complex of laboratories is now open at SNS, providing a flexible, mobile environment where users can work efficiently.
The labs, on the second floor of the SNS Central Laboratory and Office Building, are built with "green" operations in mind, as well as to optimize the available space for researchers' ever-changing scientific needs. With overhead utilities and mobile furniture, the complex's 13 labs allow staff to easily reconfigure the layout of equipment and quickly change an experiment's setup as needed.
"We surveyed more than 900 users on what they needed, and they gave us a wish list," says Chrissi Schnell, the Neutron Scattering Science Division scientific laboratory coordinator.
The lab suite has features such as a cold room, which will be kept at 8°C, outlets and workbenches so that researchers can run equipment for long periods of time, and a furnace closet for solid-state synthesis with a wall with cable management to organize power and gas lines.
The labs also contain standard American Disability Act-compliant fume hoods and safety showers, automatic sliding doors for hands-free access, and a combination of standard and non-standard power outlets suitable for different instrumentation.
The labs provide a controlled environment for testing new instruments before they go on the beam line. SNS staff have also been working with the Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences to set up a neighboring lab with various x-ray equipment.
Chrissi and lab staff will be on hand to provide services to the researchers such as chemical management and training. "We are here to meet the needs of the researchers and provide them with excellent customer service," Chrissi says.
