Anthony Lee Benjamin, 33, has been charged with murder and first-degree robbery in the beating death of Robert Williams of Oregon City. He was arrested Wednesday in Northeast Portland by Portland police with the help of U.S. Marshal's Oregon Fugitive Task Force
On Tuesday, police announced they had arrested two others in Williams' death: Lynette Anne Harris, 39, of Gresham and Jarome Lamont Weeks, 23, of Portland. They were arraigned on identical charges. All are being held in the Multnomah County jail .
Detectives don't believe the three knew Williams, who died Jan. 13 at OHSU Hospital after suffering major brain injuries.Police responding to a call about 5:30 a.m. Dec. 31 found Williams, a father of three who worked as a furniture delivery man, bleeding profusely on the sidewalk at Northwest Sixth Avenue and Davis Street. Police believe he was in the area for several hours before the assault.
His family appealed to the public for witnesses to come forward. They said it was unusual for him to be in Old Town, but that he may have been visiting a friend.
Police suspect as many as four people attacked Williams, who was 6-foot-5 and 240 pounds, family members said. He may have been robbed, they said.
Police are still investigating the attack and ask anyone with information about the case to call Detective Mark Slater at 503-823-9319.
Crime Stoppers is still offering a $1,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest at 503-823-4357 or www.crimestoppersoforegon.com.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE LITTLE ROCK, AR - The American Civil Liberties Union of Arkansas cheered the decision of the Arkansas House Judiciary Committee today to reject SB 959, a bill that would have banned gay people and most unmarried heterosexual couples who live together from adopting or serving as foster parents. "Child welfare research and scientific evidence have shattered the myth that gay people are not suitable foster parents, and legislators hearing real stories from families who would have been hurt by this bill really brought it home," said Rita Sklar, Executive Director of the ACLU of Arkansas. "The Arkansas legislature realized this is bad policy as well as bad law." Scores of people crowded into the House Judiciary Committee meeting at the Arkansas State Capitol to observe this morning's hearing. Among those who testified against the bill were: "For the hundreds of children in our state in need of good homes as well as parents who want the right to decide who should care for their children if something happens to them, the defeat of this bill is a tremendous victory," said Holly Dickson, staff attorney for the ACLU of Arkansas, who testified against the bill this morning. "We're grateful that the House Judiciary Committee saw SB 959 for the unconstitutional, mean-spirited piece of legislation that it was." Only two people testified in favor of the bill. One of them, Walt McKay, a counselor from Mountain Home, contradicted his own position when he conceded that he was in favor of deciding placements on a case-by-case basis, prompting an eruption of applause from bill opponents. If passed, the bill would have categorically banned lesbian and gay Arkansans from adopting or serving as foster parents, even if they are relatives of the children in question. It would also have banned unmarried heterosexual couples who live together unless they're related to the child, which would prevent godparents or family friends from caring for a child if the parents die or can't keep the child. Arkansas's Child Welfare Agency Review Board had established a policy in 1999 that banned gay people from serving as foster parents, and the Arkansas Supreme Court struck it down last year after a seven-year legal battle between the state and the ACLU. Several prominent child welfare groups took an interest in the case, with friend-of-the-court briefs being submitted by Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families, the Child Welfare League of America, the National Association of Social Workers and its Arkansas chapter, the American Psychological Association and its Arkansas chapter, and the Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute. These groups urged the court to strike down the exclusion because it worked against the best interests of foster children. In overturning the earlier ban, the Arkansas Supreme Court wrote, "(T)he driving force behind adoption of the regulation was not to promote the health, safety, and welfare of foster children, but rather based upon the Board's view of morality and its bias against homosexuals." More information on the ACLU case that overturned the earlier ban can be found online at: www.aclu.org/lgbt/parenting/12137res20050301.html

Right, my friend dee suggested on Your Pants about a gathering. I have said that I would approach the question on the Ning, and that is what I am doing. We both live in the South-East of England, and think that Brighton would be the best place to do it; something to do with Brighton being the most awesome place ever. It would most likely take place in the summer, just for the simple fact that it is warm.
If there is any chance that you could, possibly, attend, then please tell us, because we would love to do this.
Tags: Brighton, awesome, east, england, south
I'd deffinatly come to that! I live in Brighton so nice n easy for me :P
Definately up for that! That would be awesome!
I would to love go, I live in Crowborough, one straight bus route. I have no irl nerd fighter friends would be so fun! :D
I know at least 4 other people who would be up for that I must say
New nerdfighter here!
A brighton gathering would be great - count me in!
I'd love to meet up got a few Nerdfighter friends how would love too come along as welll :) I'm in Eastbourne(yer i know) so no problem getting to Brighton from here
Hay anyone want to set a date in the holiday and see if we can do it at all ? or in the summer so people can spread the word and get a gathering :) What everyone think?
We are thinking of a Tonbridge Wells gathering during this holiday, if that isn't too far, http://yourpants.org/pantsforum/topic/south-east for information.
I'm not too far from there, so why not...
We might try the thirteenth of May, if everyone is fine with that...?
its fine with me, but you could always come to the one on the 2nd of june? :)
Here are some links to help spread the awesome:
Here are some YT links to channels related to Nerdfighteria and educational content!
*Can you think of any more? Pass along any suggestions to an Admin who will then add it to this list should it fit!

To my mind that is a pretty unethical attitude. But I also am realistic enough to realize that history is now flowing that way and the task now is to manage the situation, not try to reverse the tide. And, frankly, the record (and the rest of the entertainment) industry brought this on itself. It's been four years now -- a consumer generation -- since this column and others warned the music industry that the two stupidest things it could do were: one ignore the imperatives arising from the new technologies in recording, distribution and storage; and two criminalize their own customers (i.e. the legions of college downloaders). The music industry didn't listen -- and instead of co-opting Napster, blew it up and filled the world with even more clever imitators.
Then Steve Jobs, with iTunes, gave the industry one last chance to rethink its business model -- and it refused. Now, it is harvesting the results.
You can be sure that the Radiohead announcement is the beginning of a tidal wave. Everyone is watching what happens.
If the band pulls this off successfully, you will see a whole bunch of other bands deciding not to renegotiate their record deals, or trying to break the ones they are already in. But even assuming the worst-case scenario, that all of those millions of Radiohead fans decide to take In Rainbows for free, it's still hard to imagine how the band loses. After all, it produced the album without a contract, using its own studio outside Oxford, so it hasn't had to pay exorbitant recording fees. True fans will still shell out the forty bucks or more for the boxed set. Legions of listeners, having enjoyed their easy access to the new album, will sell out Radiohead's shows (if Yorke even decides to tour), and the band will sell millions more in merchandise. And that's if nobody actually puts money in the In Rainbow tip jar.
And you know that's not going to happen. I'll even bet that, not having to pay overhead to the record company, Radiohead makes more money this way than if it had gone the traditional route -- and I mean just from the album, not the millions that will accrue from the merchandising and everything else. Meanwhile, for bands that really like to tour, there's no reason -- with CD sales down 15 percent in the US just this year, while arena show revenues are up 11 percent -- not to treat their albums are loss-leaders, as marketing tools to put butts into seats at live shows.
As for the record companies: tough luck. They had their chance. The smart ones now, while they still have some value, should tear themselves apart and start over. They should take a cue from the technology industry and become strictly venture capitalists, investing in new bands, take a piece of the action, marshall expertise to help the new acts grow successfully, then cash out by taking the band 'public' and move on. Meanwhile, bands are going to have to recognize, like Radiohead, that even though they are creating art they also need to attend to business – and that presents a huge opportunity to marketing and branding experts in helping them do so.
Will the Radiohead Revolution work? Of course it will, though there are a lot of bumps in the road ahead. And will the Entitlement Generation actually pony up when they can get the goods for free? Well, at the Malone household, I can say that our Gen Y'er has decided that In Raindows is worth twenty bucks.

An interesting and informative site Kimberley Cruising when sailing this coast.
* indicates port of entry
Returning to Australia after a 9 1/2 year circumnavigation we were not looking forward to the alleged complications and expense clearing in to Australia (Bundaberg). Nothing could have been further from the truth; we were attended to by very courteous and friendly officials, all done on board in about 1/2 hour and the total cost $330. Needing groceries the marina then called the manager at the supermarket in nearby Burnett Heads who picked us up in his van, took us to his shop and after finished shopping took us back to the boat via the local liquor store to pick up some beer, how is that for Aussie hospitality! Can thoroghly recommend Bundaberg as a port of entry.
The technical details about Bundaberg Port marina are shown elsewhere on this website but is always the case it is the people who provide the services and operate the machinery that make or break a marina.We came into Bundaberg in Octobet 2013 in our Bruce Roberts 53 with a daunting job list involving everything from respraying the top sides, through mechanical work, canvas repair, sanding timber toe rails and galvanising the anchor chain.On the hardstand there is no restriction on doing your own work or if you prefer all the necessary skills are readily available.
We have lifted and worked on our boat in numerous yards in a whole variety of countries all over the world but never before have we received such skilled, helpful and friendly service right from the management through to the operatives on the ground.
The marina is to be complemented on their service, they deserve to do well.
If, like many do, you buy a new SIM for your phone in each country, in Australia TELSTRA is the only real option. All others only cover densely populated areas as I found out the hard way.
HI good tip on the sim card, im thinking of bringing a yacht back from Perth to Nz, in February and wanted to know about various ports or shelters to drop into, has anyone done this trip before.
In years past yacht crews have reported upsetting experiences due to their treatment by Customs and Quarantine when clearing into Australian ports. Last night we joined the crews of 4 other yachts for a convivial Happy Hour. Three yachts and our motor vessel had entered Australia fom SE Asia (one in Darwin and 3 in Gove) within the previous 2 weeks. All crews were unanimous in their praise of the treatment we had experienced. The officers who dealt with us all were described as "professional, thorough but friendly, welcoming and fair". To be fair to all the yacht crews too, all had abided by the Customs reporting requirements and all had made themselves aware of the Quarantine regulations and had their vessels ready for inspection.
We congratulate the Officers involved for their professional but friendly demeanour and hope that this will be the standard all yachts entering Australian Ports of Entry can routinely expect.

Sony Mobile may serve Xperia Z2 through another network carrier in the United States after an accidental post appeared. Xperia Z2 made its way to Verizon Wireless which was posted earlier via Google+ account.
Sony Xperia Z2 in Verizon Wireless
Sony Xperia Z2 was accidentally confirmed via Google + account of Sony Mobile as a part of the Verizon Wireless line-up. CNET caught the image right before it was quickly pulled out by the tech giant, revealing the Verizon logo on the top part of Xperia Z2.
Currently, Sony Xperia devices are sold in the United States exclusively via T-Mobile and the reasons remain unclear on why would Sony Mobile choose Verizon Wireless for Xperia Z2. Sony Mobile's latest flagship in the country is the Xperia Z1S, a variant of Xperia Z1 smartphone under T-Mobile.
Sony Xperia Z2 Specifications:
- Android 4.4.2 KitKat with the latest Xperia Home UI
- 5.2-inch Triluminous IPS LCD 1080p full HD display with X-Reality mobile engine
- 2.3 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor
- 3 GB of RAM
- Adreno 330 graphics processing unit
- 20.7 MP Sony G lens camera
- Dual front-facing stereo speakers
- 16 GB internal storage with microSD card slot
- IP 58 for dust and water resistances
In case Sony Mobile and Verizon Wireless are planning to sell Xperia Z2, the network carrier will get another high-powered Android smartphones in addition to HTC One 2014 and Samsung Galaxy S5.
Sony Mobile to Personally Sell Xperia Z2
Sony Mobile may have a different plan on selling Xperia Z2 and Xperia Z1 Compact in the United States and it could be possibly personal. According to reports, Xperia Z2 units planned to be sold in the U.S. will no longer be under any contracts and instead Sony Mobile will sell the latest Xperia smartphone using the online stores priced as unlocked.
Moreover, Sony Mobile confirmed that neither Xperia Z2 nor Xperia Z1 Compact will be coming in the U.S. stores in the near future that may specify delay of the expected release in summer. Interested buyers in the United States will need to purchase Xperia Z2 via online stores while Xperia Z1 Compact is only available outside the country.
However, the source did not explain if the company really intends to end their exclusivity with T-Mobile or if the recent Google+ post is true with Verizon Wireless. Right now, Sony Xperia users in the U.S. are only able to purchase Xperia Z2 Tablet which will be hitting stores in May 4th.

Britain has very things to offer to India compared to USA, France, Germany and China. Even small countries like Israel, UAE and Vietnam hold special significance to us. Regarding the cultural link: We Indians like to think of our country as post-colonial (this is the India having divorced from the extremist parts, read Pakistan). When I was in UK my British colleagues were surprised to find that we Indians (most of us ay least) do not feel anything special connection with Britain or the Commonwealth. In fact, I clarified that as a large multi-ethnic, multicultural democracy, the only other country that we Indians identify with is the USA; that we look up to the USA, not Britain, as a role model.
Britain is fast moving towards an isolationist policy. If Britain moves out of the EU, she will no longer be our gateway to Europe. Britain's only good offer is good universities but British policies (strict Visa rules) and practices (even students with valid visas are often harassed and denied entry by suspecting officers at the ports of entry) are making Indian students feel unwelcome. Also it is a ridiculous on the part of British politicians to expect Indian students to spend thousands of pounds (that eventually fund low-fee paying British students) and not expect any job experience to back that education.
I lived in Britain for quite a few years and almost everyone believes that EU is bad and so is immigration. Most people have no idea (or would not acknowledge) the benifits Britain has secured from both.
USA, India and other English speaking countries see UK as a gateway to Europe, thus EU membership (along with American friendship) has given Britain huge political clout that an isolated Britain would ever have. As Britain was more welcoming to immigrants than most European countries, service sector, which requires diverse and highly skilled workforce, flourished in the UK. Britain has lost the race in manufacturing, it hardly has any natural resources, so its only hope is to export its services, and that sector will be hurt more an more if there current xenophobic trend continues.
For sure, no sensible British politician can allow the following policies, now or in near future:
1. Continue to remain in EU and move to closer integration like France and Germany
2. Soft Immigration policy to better economic growth
This is reality, an Euro-skeptic and closed Britain unfortunately cannot contribute much to India, or to any other country for that matter. I feel bad for David Cameron (who is a fine gentleman) that his second trip to India will be as futile as the first one.

High Threats Concerning Severe Health Consequences Due To Complex Toxic Contamination of Under-Ground Water Reserves—UN-Water Decade 2005-2015–Observance.
A perilously terrifyingly alert apprehension that highlights stark death-defying health consequences, titled as 'The Unsafe Future of Safe Drinking Water' has been conceded through 'World Health Day' by the 'UN Water Decade Observance'- 2014, reveals severe risks of multiple disabilities due to underground hydro-toxication's pandemic out-breaks of the sewage system's sprout off-shoot explosiveness.
Hamilton, New Zealand (PRWEB) April 08, 2014
(Breaking News Feature: Health-Water Nexus):
According to the UNESCO released 'UN-WWD 2014 Report', along with the '2005-20015 "Water-Life" Decade Indicators' by SAIRI, in connection to the 'World Health Observances 2014', some 768 million people do not have access to an improved source of water, and 2.5 billion do not have access to appropriate sanitation. More than 57% of the world population is on high stakes of vector-borne diseases, for which in almost 72-83% cases, unsafe drinking water is one of the major attributable provenance root-sources.
The United Nations proclaimed 2005-2015 as the UN-Water Decade, with a theme-specified focus entitled 'Water for Life' by its Resolution No. A/RES/58/217.
A 'health-water nexus' thematic 'situation report' titled as 'The Unsafe Future of Safe Drinking Water' has been released by 'SAIRI Initiative' on the UN-Water Decade 2005-2015, through the World Health Day 2014.
According to UN's statistical estimations, some 8,69,000 children under five, die every year due to toxically germ-infested unsafe drinking water—almost over 3-4 babies a minute. Countless others fall in serious sufferings of long-term health consequences. Inadequate sanitation and ecologically incompatible sewage-drainage systems are the primary causes of the present situation.
The sewage outlets of the urban areas necessarily do impose a disproportionate and unfair burden on the lands where mostly the poor populations are inhabited. As a result, the soil along with subsoil water reservoirs, essentially become inept to shield against the burdens of both, the inorganic and organic wastes' toxicities imposed thereupon, due to being incapable of bearing and processing this 'disproportionate and unfair toxic burden'. In turn,… "eventually and logically, the sources of water allocations for human consumption are left on high stakes…", elaborately establishes the SAIRI's decade report on water.
The evidence-based SAIRI 'water report' is coincided with a specific focus and recommendations on the subject-matter, that concisely highlights the threatening and lethal short-falls alongwith the grim consequences of the present sewage system and its stark linkages with sub-soil water reserves extensive austere toxifications.
"Amid the greatest challenges to be faced by present as well as the future generations to come, is the availability of safe 'drinkable water'. The complexities swirling around the 'task on hands'— 'The Unsafe Future of Safe Drinking Water' are central to any rational consideration regarding the nexus-matters of adequate sewage, proper sanitation and the sustainability of the resources of 'safe water'…", points out the foreword note of SAIRI's WWD 2005-15 Situation Report.
The UN's children's rights organization further estimates, along with the World Health Organization (WHO), that 10 countries are home to almost two-thirds of the global population without access to improved drinking water sources: China (108 million), India (99 million), Nigeria (63 million), Ethiopia (43 million), Indonesia (39 million), Congo (37 million), Bangladesh (26 million), Tanzania (22 million), Kenya (16 million) and Pakistan (16 million).
Worldwide the figures are so high at present, and if the current trends continue to go on, more than double of the present figure would be left disadvantaged from safe drinking water, warn the subsoil hydro-toxification indicators. Noting further, that "…these devastating remnants of epic proportions, strongly stretch an inevitable call for a transition from the fragmented approach and its practice." affirms Qadhi Al Hafi, the principal investigator of Hydro-toxification Assessment Initiative and the SAIRI indications report.
The SAIRI's indication report goes on to pointing out that places where people do not have adequate access to water largely coincide with those where toxicity-centered diseases endemics in general, and embryonic-teratogenesis pandemic out-breaks in particular, are threateningly high.
The 'UN-World Water Observances 2014', were marked under two separate themes: 'Water-Energy Nexus' by the UNU in Tokyo, Japan and the 'Water-Health Nexus' in the SAARC region, by the SAIRI. The former theme was focused in perspectives of developed countries, whilst the later highlighted serious concerns with a focus on undeveloped countries, particularly the least developed countries (LDCs) of Asia and Africa regions respectively. The Tokyo celebrations started by 3/20 to mark the WWD, whereas the SAARC processions continued to be concluded by 4/7–the WHO International day, for the thematic association thereto.
The UN Secretary General, Ban Ki Moon said in his central note to the World Water Observance-2014 that, "Let us pledge to develop the policies needed to ensure that sustainable water and energy are secured for the many and not just the few."
The UN Special Rapporteur on the human right to safe drinking water and sanitation, Catarina de Albuquerque, stressed in a distinct note, that "ill-thought out allocation of water has a disproportionate effect on the poorest sectors of society" and that "it is crucial that Governments apply a human rights framework to guide their actions."
On behalf of SAARC sector's academic alliance on subsoil water toxicity research initiative, the SAIRI's Senior Director Prof. Umar Farooq, Pro-VC Dow University of Health Sciences, thematically emphasized that, "Improper and untreated disposal of sanitary water and untreated industrial waste is resulting in contamination of sub soil water threatening the nature.
For their thematic part, added the SAIRI's Principal Investigator, the DUHS Pro-VC, and the UNESCO-SAARC at PU, in a cautioning note that "Human beings consuming the sub-soil water and the crops in which the water is used, become a source of spread of avertable severe diseases. We have to raise the awareness globally for the prevention of contamination of natural reservoirs of water".
The Rector of United Nations University (UNU), David Malone, this year's coordinator of World Water Day on behalf of UN-Water together with UNIDO, said that "Significant policy gaps exist in this nexus at present, and the UN plays an instrumental role in providing evidence and policy-relevant guidance… We seek to inform decision-makers, stakeholders and practitioners about the interlinkages, potential synergies and trade-offs, and highlight the need for appropriate responses and regulatory frameworks that account for both water and energy priorities. From UNU's perspective, it is essential that we stimulate more debate and interactive dialogue around possible solutions to our energy and water challenges."
The subsoil hydro-toxification theme initiator Prof. Qadhi Aurangzeb Al Hafi said in SAIRI's indications report that, "Academically, on the face of the subject under focus, we must acknowledge that it is impossible to address these complexities, if we treat them in isolation. We need to recognize the multifarious interactions between them that are closely interlinked".
"The many strong links between sewage, sanitation and sustainability of 'safe water', do call for a coherent approach coupled by integrated policies and innovative stratagems, but all that, collectively, within an eco-compatibility focus framework". , notes further the multi-disciplinary arch-researcher Prof. Hafi, who is credited for foremostly identifying the teratogenic effect of underground water's contaminations responsible for complex embryonic hydro-toxicity resulting in multiple disabilities at pre-birth stages as well as in the newly born.
UNESCO Director-General Irina Bokova emphasized that "There is enough water in the world for everyone. What we continue to lack is better governance and the collective courage to craft fair compromise solutions". She said, adding "It is about improving maternal health, curbing child mortality, and preserving the environment."
Water is the fundamental essential for all of the living beings on earth, including the human beings. Indispensably and vitally, it comes to be the principal denominator of all challenges concerning the survival, subsistence, sustainability and development of the diverse realms in connection of humankind—thus encompassing the all-around core and conjoint dominions of United Nations' MDGs.
The WWD Observance-2014, that marks the second last year of the theme-specific decade as well, however took it steps further by embracing a thematic debate highlighting the concerns related to severe contamination of underground water reserves, along with its pandemic out-breaks and life-threatening vector-borne health consequences, which are perpetuated by the wide-extent practice of prevailing sewage drainage system, that is not at all 'ecologically compatible', neither 'human rights ethicality or morality-oriented', nor 'environmentally sustainable' by no means, at any measure.
It has been portentously learnt as a high alarming concern, that by polluting the underground water reservoirs, we have affected not only the soil or the water—but whole of the environment in its totality, to that a threatfull extent that the present-day generation is progressively leaving the earth a tougher place for the next generations to survive, that could be an easier place to live otherwise as that,—that we inherited from centuries and millenniums of our ancestor generations.

Trust can be thorny concept and difficult for a large group of people to embrace. I know at times I struggle with this very difficult and emotional issue. Many have good reasons not to trust. At some point in our lives, most of us experience some form of betrayal from friends, organizations, be it secular or religious, governmental and yes even from family. Trust is given on loan, and if that trust is broken, it may be difficult or impossible to regain. Trust is not unconditional; it does have to be earned and may take years to come to full maturity.
Most likely the majority of people have failed in living up to the trust that others have put on them. There is actual betrayal, wherein the act is thought out and used to harm another. Then there are those times when the failure is unintentional, perhaps most of the time, causing a great deal of suffering on both sides.
Fear of trusting can shrink ones relational world to nothing. It is easy to do, since it is used to block out further pain, it is a form of protection that can become an armor so thick that any kind of deep sharing becomes impossible and there is only isolation. It becomes a way of life and can often lead to a cynical world view that is masked as sophistication.
I believe that anything that leads to overcoming this fear of pain and betrayal and allows the gates to reopen is in fact life giving and healing. Anything that leads to the opposite is a crutch of the worst kind. In the end, it is a choice on some level. I believe that most people overcome the desire to run from relationships and seek to reenter the world of friendship and trust. Even if it is tentative and may take years to heal, yet to begin the journey is also on some level to arrive at the destination.
Sartre once said that "Hell is other people". This can become a self-fullfilling prophecy; for in believing that, allows it to become the tyrannical overseer of our lives. I don't believe that people wish to devour others in a futile attempt to fill their inner abyss. Though this of course can happen, there are those who seem to sap up everyone's energy when they are around. In Sartre's play "No exit", this is shown how it is played out. In case you have not read the play, the story takes place in hell. I found the last sentence in the play to be especially chilling: "Well we may as well get started".
Faith in God is not a way to run from reality. I believe it allows us to go inward and to discover that God actually exist and calls us to a deeper, fuller and more loving life. It allows us to overcome our fears of actually growing in self knowledge and in doing so, to understand that what we fear in others and possibly condemn, is also within us. The only bridge to forgiving acts of betrayal, is to understand how we perhaps have done it in the past as well and to see how human weakness and childish self centeredness is more often than not, at play. This is not denying that some acts of betrayal are actually thought out and deeply evil.
When thinking about our own failures, we may seek mercy for we experience factors in ourselves that lead to acting in ways that are unintentional, or perhaps just based on lack of experience or misunderstanding. Even when we see how we actually did know what we were doing, we may still desire forgiveness and understanding. Once this is understood and embraced no matter how painful this self-knowledge is, it can lead to compassion towards others. It is easy seeking mercy for our selves and justice for others. Harder to understand that mercy is the way to inner freedom and a loosening of the power we allow human weakness and yes human evil to have over us. To become like those who betray, to become bitter and cynical, is actually staying under the power of that which wounded.
Death to self is in reality a death to an inner prison, a small world that is ruled by fear and anxiety that can be manifested in many ways. Withdrawing, bragging, putting others down through gossip or intimidation, running from commitments and simply using others are just some of the ways that in reality is a form of self protection.
On the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus shows the way to this freedom. It is not about non-violence and being a pacifist, but about placing the importance on how we relate to those who are before us, with those we interact with on a daily basis, one person at a time. Each encounter asks from us a response. One of openness or one of fear towards others; be it friend, stranger or foe.
We can't give trust to everyone, at least on level of friendship. There are many that are not capable of it, and at times perhaps we all fail. There is however a deeper form of trust and that is based on the belief that the one before us, is worthy of our attention, especially the ones we consider lowly. I would presume we all have those people in our lives, those we meet and those with whom we work. It is about seeing that the person overlooked or mocked, may in fact have a great deal to offer, has depth that we can't see, or may not have the language or education to express what they believe or feel, yet none-the-less have much to share, if only we would listen and learn to see on a different level.
Our thoughts about others, and yes, about ourselves, can never see to the bottom of things, or to put it better, to the depths of the human heart. Both that which seeks love, union and healing, as well as the more self destructive aspects of our inner lives that I believe that we all share. To know that all is observed, seen and loved, can give courage to enter into our inner domains and allow grace's healing work to continue. To simply desire growth and healing is to begin the process. To seek to hide from it at all cost is also a choice, the more we understand this, the sooner we can begin that decent or accent; it depends on how you look at it.

Juan Pablo Going to Extreme Measures to Bulk Up For Bachelor?
Should we blame / thank Sean Lowe for this? Sean gave America many musclegasms as the Season 17 Bachelor, then shook the goods again on Dancing With the Stars. Now Juan Pablo Galavis has to follow that act — which will soon include meeting 25 new girlfriends — and he may be looking to pump himself up for the process. Juan posted this photo, promoting a bunch of Total Nutrition products. There's stuff like "Shred," "Razor," "Isolate" "Engag3D Extreme," blah blah blah — oh, but there's something with "chocolate" too! So it can't be all that bad. Juan shared this note with the pic, in his helpful bilingual style: "Thanks to my BOY @DanIelGCox for getting me some JUICE from @totalnutritionlv to get BIG like him / Gracias al pana Dan por mandarme los SUPLEMENTOS..." That's a call out to Dan Cox, who was with JPG on The Bachelorette Season 9. Dan replied, "now get to the gym bro!!!! I've done all I can do." We hear so much about women wanting to look thinner, fitter, prettier, whatever — so it's always nice to have a reminder that men worry about their looks too. That said, we love our Juan Pablo exactly the way he is — and what's going to happen to his tweets if he juices up even more? Will he go from occasional ALL CAPS EXCITEMENT to full tweets of the stuff? It could get scary. But we're going to need to see a lot of post-workout shirtless pics to be sure. So … just keep us posted, JP!

Apricot Passion Pie
i had a few friends over – and they practically danced in my kitchen! one of them was non-raw and she said it's the best pie she ever tasted!
a few days ago i went with my daughter on a gathering/gleaning/swimming trip. we stumbled upon an apricot orchard at the very end of the season. a few trees had slightly over-ripe apricots. now apricots are at the top of the list of pesticides… but these ones had enough quality assurance signatures… the orchard was neglected including the orchards around it (nectarine and lemon), the weeds between the trees where abundant and tall (no ground spraying), and most importantly – appx. one out of three apricots had the most beautiful worms dancing in it (usually inhabiting only one half). and so we very carefully picked the soft apricots and filled a 2 gallon bucket! a pie was an obvious need once we got home.
1½ cup shelled sunflower seeds
½ cup shelled pecans
½ cup flax seeds, ground
½ cup dates, pitted
1 teaspoon cinnamon, optional
1 dash sea salt, optional
8 cup apricots, pitted
½ cup dates, optional, depends on sweet tooth
4 tablespoon psyllium husk powder
1 dash vanilla
1 sprinkle raw nut yogurt, optional but tasty and pretty..
1 sprinkle fresh mint, optional
1 sprinkle strawberries, sliced
all quantities are appx. and depend on the size of your pie pan. use your intuition → it's fun!
using a mortar and pestle or a manual mincer: grind the sunflowers and pecans into a bowl – add the ground flax, pinch of salt/cinammon (optional), and mix. then knead the dates into a consistent dough.
using a food processor – process the dry ingredients first – sunflowers,pecans,ground flax,pinch of salt/cinammon (optional), then add the pitted dates.
i like to use the minimum amount of dates to make it sticky enough. but for guests i use a little more since their tongues are used to pop with lots of sugar. you can also put less dates and just put a tiny bit of water or a piece of a banana to make it sticky.
place dough into pie pan and flatten to shape.
using your hands… (a great sensual experience with your lovers) knead all the apricots in a bowl into a fine mush. depending on the ripeness of the apricots and your sweetness habits – knead also the dates into this mush. oh yes – also add the vanilla here.. when desired consistency is reached – add psyllium and mix well.
boring but quick alternative – a blender… put all ingredients in it except psyllium, blend to smoothness, then add psyllium and blend a little more.
put mush into crust.
optionally (but almost too fun and tasty to miss) decorate with raw nut yogurt, strawberries and mint.
chill to settle for at least an hour.
must eat naked.
12 reponses to "Apricot Passion Pie"
I agree with fuzzywater. There was a lot of love in that recipe. Cheers!
Psyllium can be found in any common drug store in thee section for 'regularity'. It is the principle ingredient in Metamucil. If it is a good store, they will have a jar or package of the raw husks without the flavorings or sweeteners added.
This pie looks AMAZING. I am sure the flavors are intense.
I have not used psyllium as a thickener, but after I read this, it just seems so obvious... I will have to pick some up for the kitchen. I am wondering how well this would work with our wild cranberries and blueberries up here...
ohmigosh wow! This looks so incredible, I will have to make this next weekend.
What an enticing recipe. That would make anyone want to go raw! WOW! Beautiful picture and idea!
BTW if you want to color of the apricots to preserve better add a few drops of lemon juice to the filling.
psyllium husk is the white husks of the plantain (the green weed, not the banana). they make runny things into harder jell - without it the cake will cut like thick soup.. yes there are alternatives but psyllium is relatively easy to find at a health food store or on-line and i recommend it as a regular part of your raw kitchen.
so there are many seeds that have a jelly quality - like flax (stronger flavor and changes texture), nettle (collect now from the wild), basil (you can get a lot at an asian food store).. grind the seeds first. also persimmon and papaya - you can add a few to the filling and it will harden the mixture. ta ta.
LOL Just gotta say that I love your style of uncooking!
This looks great. What is psyllium husk powder? If I can't find it can I substitute it for something else?

Re-signing Schaub may be the least of the Texans problems if he hurts his foot again. I get what you're saying about AJ. Looks like the Texans are going to be in a pickle for the next couple of yrs. BTW Dutch, what do you think of the Texans cap guy/management? Who is their cap guy? |

Re: Mike Wallace to the Texans Petition
Honestly, it's hard to say how good cap management is per team because we really don't know all the numbers, nor do we know what other teams are offering the guys we sign. Last year I thought we would have a ton of cap space going into the offseason due to Mario's expiring deal, but it turned out to be a lot less due to contract escalators and wrongly reported contract numbers for other players. I think you need to evaluate each deal as the information is given to really gauge how well they are managing the cap. The one that has stuck out to me is Winston, because they could have traded his 2 years 9 million non-guaranteed deal to anyone. Instead they cut him for nothing and then he signed a 4 year 22 million dollar deal. It makes no sense to me at all that they couldn't find a trade partner or that they were in a position where they were forced to cut him that day due to cap constraints. That's not very good planning IMO. The Demeco trade made sense to me, we needed to bite the bullet and take the cap**** so that we can re-sign Brown, Barwin and/or Schaub. Letting guys like Jason Allen and Brisiel walk are the right decisions. Resigning Foster to a competitive deal was a good move, resigning Myers was a good move. The cap considerations for both of them seem reasonable given their talent levels. The Manning and JJo deals seem very reasonable too. The biggest cap concerns on the books right now are AJ's contract starting next year and Antonio Smith's contract. AJ's not going anywhere for a while because he has something like 10-12 million in restructure bonus money to be paid out. Moving him would wreck the cap next year. Smith will likely be cut or traded next year to save on his 6 million dollar salary, but will still be paid 2.5 million in unpaid signing bonus. It's a good amount of savings though, and he seems replaceable to me. If it comes down to Barwin OR Smith, I choose Barwin. I don't think the Texans' cap management is bad per se, but it's not perfect. There is always room for improvement, but if I had to guess I would say the Texans' would be in the top 12 when it comes to cap management. What I really want to see from them this year is the re-signing of Duane Brown for about $10 million a year for 5-7 years, and have that franchise tag available to use on to Schaub or Barwin. That to me would be some cap-fu negotiating magic if they can get Brown for that much and still re-sign one of the other two. If they work a deal to keep all three, barring a collosal injury to one of them, then they will become masters of the cap universe IMO.

MSR This is the most indepth analysis I've seen of the Texans past cap screwups/good moves they've made and a look at the future cap health/problems. I wonder what BoB/Rick/Gary will do if Schaub only plays 10 games this yr? |

Re: Mike Wallace to the Texans Petition
If we can get an accurate guage of your cap space, maybe we can start a thread about you Mila.
I want to be able to recognize the difference between a "want" and a "need" and then I want to be satisfied with getting a need |

If there's one thing that can make a video of destruction even cooler, it's amusingly drawn faces on the things being destroyed. In this video, it's cooling towers at various power plants being taken down and said cooling towers seem pretty surprised. This is actually an ad by a group called Ecotricity, and you might not agree with their willingness to throw nuclear power under the bus alongside most established pollution culprits like coal and other fossil fuels, but however you look at it, one of the towers has a mustache! Isn't it hilarious?! You bet it is.
(via reddit)
- A recent Japanese innovation has actually made wind power a decent power source
- And solar plants are getting pretty beastly, if remaining expensive
- Nuclear is waaaaaaay safer than coal or oil

The colorful lights of the Sochi Olympics glow in the night, in a Feb. 10 picture from the International Space Station.
The International Space Station's astronauts are snapping fantastic pictures of the Sochi Olympics from 260 miles away. That's how high the orbital outpost was flying above the Russian Black Sea site when the glow of Sochi's night lights was captured this week by a space station crew member, using a Nikon 3DS camera equipped with a 600mm lens.
The brightly lit circular area toward the right side of the image is Sochi's "coastal cluster." You should be able to make out the blue glow of Fisht Olympic Stadium, site of the opening ceremonies, as well as the egg-shaped profile of Medal Plaza. But if you need a little help, check out this daytime satellite view of Sochi, plus this map of the coastal cluster.

Blood Diamonds Sierra Leone is one of the countries that are little known in Japan. Its history is incomparably longer and more complicated than those of any countries in Africa. I don't mean the period of the country's history, but I mean the volume of history. The story will be long. So, let me talk about it in the next page. Duel At Ganryu Island (added on September 29, 2010) I have missed an important historic date. Okubo Toshimichi was killed on May 14, 1878. The day was April 13, 1878 in the Japanese calendar. To tell the truth, April 13th is the day a famous duel was fought on Ganryu Island in Yamaguchi Prefecture in 1612. There is more to it than that. Both a rebellion leader, Eto Shimpei, and a samurai of the Tokugawa shogunate, Kiyokawa Hachiro, were killed on that date. In addition the date when Kiyokawa Hachiro was killed was May 30, 1863 in the Gregorian calendar. In fact, Joan of Arc, patroness of soldiers and of France was burned at the stake on May 30, 1431. She is often related to the Japanese history.

I used to work at an office near a koban in the center of Kagoshima City and I often visited it on business. But I didn't feel any heartwarming atmospheres that we occasionally felt in the TV police drama. There were few people who asked directions at the koban. I mostly saw policemen swaggering in and out the koban. I rarely visit a koban for asking directions. Tobacco stores and convenience stores are more convenient than kobans. After all, the popular image of kobans has been created by the media. Today, kobans around my community are nonfunctional. As a matter of fact, they have been dysfunctional at least for the past 30 years. Takanori Okubo and Okubo Toshimichi Japanese media have been somewhat crazy these days. They create one parody after another. They took Takanori Okubo as a parody on Okubo Toshimichi. The heavyweight in the Aso administration's law enforcement authorities is Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Iwao Uruma. Every Japanese knows that their leaders officially give admirable instructions, but that their true intentions are opposite. Most company executives and political leaders speak out the abolishment of empty forms, but they in reality get away with corruption and huge embezzlement. The slogan, "Let's abolish empty forms", was another version of exactly the same slogan which had been shouted just after the Marco Polo Bridge Incident on July 7, 1937. Prime Minister Aso appointed Mr. Uruma deputy chief Cabinet secretary in order to investigate the health condition of his archenemy, Ichiro Ozawa, leader of the main opposition Democratic Party of Japan, and to find out the business scandal of the party's bigwig. In fact, Mr. Ozawa is said to have suffered from angina.

The airline industry has drastically changed. Ryanair is the world's largest airline in terms of international passenger numbers. The airline is characterised by the success of its low cost business model. Ryanair announced a seat sale with seats from £0.99 on its routes ex UK on April 15, 2005. Korean Air crashes in the past
Among the crashes, I don't find any specific suspicious information. Some interesting coincidences are August 6 (the dropping of an atomic bomb on Hiroshima), September 1 (1923 Great Kanto earthquake) and August 31, 1997 (the death of Princess Diana). But I finally searched the date "November 29" in this site by Google search engine. The result showed only this page indicating Jacques Chirac's birthday. Olympic Issues Most media reported that North Korea had intended to destabilize the South Korean government, to disrupt upcoming elections and to frighten teams from attending the Seoul Olympics. But the bombing of the Korean Air jet left quite a few questions unanswered.
Collusion between Japan and France There have been quite a few cases of collusion between the two countries. But, as their conspiracy has been always crafted as if the event had occurred by pure coincidence, it hasn't been easy to see into their conspiracy. So, let me show some outstanding cases below. Jacques Chirac There are many things we don't know about Chirac. He often appears in dubious events but Japanese media fail to report it. In Japan there have been increasingly a lot of strange news. Probably the Japanese government adds the pressure on the media. The government doesn't want them to report really interesting news. I have thought that I might be the only person who criticizes Chirac. In the Internet, however, I have found a variety of news about him. Teresa Teng and Kim Hyon-Hui Both of them share a similar impression. Probably they were Chirac's favorite type. Teresa Teng died on May 8, 1995, when Chirac's victory in the presidential election was confirmed. Two North Korean agents including Kim Hyon-Hui are said to have blown up a South Korean airplane on November 29, 1987. The day was Chirac's birthday. Kim Hyon-Hui is probably Japanese.
Similarities of Japanese media coverage between Japan Airlines Flight 123 and Korean Air Flight 858
Kim Hyon-Hui Comes to Japan On July 20, 2010, the Japanese governemnt waived strict immigration controls to allow her to meet the relatives of two Japanese citizens snatched by North Korean agents in the late 1970s. However, critics denounced the visit as a stunt designed to deflect attention from Japan's failure to establish the fates of Yokota and other abductees. Hyon-Hui had already spoken to some of the victims' families and was not expected to offer any new information.

Today, Japanese strong men rarely boast of their power and they usually seem to be humbler than others. Their superficial virtue of modesty only shows that they really have the power. Generally speaking, once their authority is undermined, they have to choose one out of two different strategies. One is to cling to power with an iron fist and another one is to give up their power. But, in Japan, they have one more choice. When an organization is in critical condition, some low-level cronies intentionally rebel against their leadership, somewhat very awkwardly. Suddenly the leaders fight back. Then the rebellion turns out to be a farce. The leaders suddenly regain popularity by media hoopla. Nowadays in Japan, strange events are reported one after another. But most of them are fake reports. Their purpose is to impress the public with the courageous and heroic control by the police and the judicial authorities. But, as the condition becomes extremely critical, they need extreme fake events, too. The Japanese central government was hit by a serious crisis in 1837 and in 1995. The Tenpo famine began in 1832 and lasted until 1839. However, corruption among samurai policemen spread extensively and some policemen illegally took reserved rice in collusion with the samurai bureaucracy. The police regime lost people's trust. People's mood was something like that on the eve of the revolution. On the other hand, in 1995, the de facto perpetual ruling party, the Liberal Democratic Party, was in crisis. They couldn't win the majority in the general election in 1993. They joined the coalition government but they couldn't win the prime minister's seat. The year 1995 was the final opportunity for the LDP and the bureaucrats to regain their power. Then, major events occurred one after another. The Great Hanshin earthquake, the sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway and the shooting of the chief of the National Police Agency occurred on January 17, on March 20 and on March 30, respectively. Oshio Heihachiro's rebellion and the shooting of the police bureaucrat have several things in common.
Suspicions about the shooting of the police bureaucrat Some Japanese criminal events are well-prepared and it is often all the more easy to penetrate their conspiracies.
Tenrikyo and Aum Shinrikyo I am not an atheist. I know that religions have contributed the development of the human beings. I don't support any religious organizations in Japan. They don't deserve to be respected. I don't mean those religions are meaningless but I mean most faithfuls in Japan are fake believers. By the way, it is said that Oshio Heihachiro ran away after the rebellion and that he blew himself up. On his last place, a Tenrikyo temple stands, with a monument describing about him alongside of it. The Tenrikyo founder appeared a year after Oshio's death. Omoto-kyo, which was founded almost the same era, is another similar cult. They have many things in common. Aum Shinrikyo is said to be another Omoto-kyo. Historically speaking, these two cults are very similar. It is never a coincidence that the two policemen's rebellions have many things in common. Recently in Japan, we often hear the phrase "Samurai Japan". Japan is yet controlled by shadow samurai headquarters. All the bureaucrats and politicians are just temporary staff or professional hypocrites created by the samurai system. Japan has been practicing this tradition time and time again.

In the case of the weapon deal, both the bank and the dealer are necessary. If a man plays the both roles, things are much better. The supply of weapons determined the victory in the Boshin War and the Russo-Japanese War. In fact, death merchants determined the war. Modern weapons are expensive and they are traded only between countries. But weapons and money yet determines the battle in the conflicts between minor countries or the terrorists' attacks. To put it the other way around, weapon dealers who only intend to make money try to finance the war cost, and to supply weapons, to the both sides of the battle. In general, battles are supposed to end soon. The odds increase, as the battle goes on. So, it is suspected that some weapon dealers balanced the war behind the stage in the World War I or in the Iran-Iraq War. And lengthy civil wars in Africa are some examples. If the weapon dealers are independent, that's the case. However, if another country is involved, the story becomes different. In this case, they can take advantage of free money laundering and unlimited transport of weapons. Use-by Date of Weapons Like everyday goods, weapons have use-by dates. When they are expired, those weapons are not available in the battle field. They can be used, but if they fail to explode, the result will be serious. So, the military has to dismantle the same amount of expired weapons as that of newly procured weapons. The trouble is that, like industrial waste, it is very costly to dispose of them. Embezzlement of the Cost of Disposal Recycling industry is a strange business. In the business, they exchange money and goods. But, in the recycling, money goes with the goods. In other words, the prices of the goods are negative. So, dishonest dealers simply throw away the waste though they have received the necessary cost for the disposal. The same thing happens in the military. Some military commanders simply throw away expired weapons due to lack of cost. Some may pocket the disposal cost allocated by the government. Some may go so far as to put those weapons on the black market. The scale of the deal will be huge. Here, death merchants find profitable opportunities. Blatant Arms Smuggling Most of those death merchants are said to be Russians. Among them, Viktor Bout stood out conspicuously. He collected a lot of end-of-life civil aviation aircraft (a bone yard in the US) for next to nothing and then sold them to terrorist groups in African countries. Sometimes he flew dozens of airplanes in formation. Empty aircraft transportation is costly and aircraft traders usually get other cargoes on the planes. But Bout transported huge amount of weapons and ammunitions to every corner of the world under the cover of aircraft trade. He supplied weapons to al-Qaeda and the Taliban, too. Criminals' Haven Russia is a haven for death merchants. Politicians and the media are corrupt and criminals often get away with their crimes with ease. In addition, Russia has not extradition treaties with developed countries including the US. Moreover, article six of Russian constitution prohibits extradition. I want to say, "What a country is Russia?" But, in fact, Japan has a similar law, too. The Japanese extradition law prohibits the extradition of Japanese nationals. In other words, Japanese can get away with homicide in foreign countries, if they escape into Japan. This law was applied to the Japanese embassy hostage crisis and a murder case of a Japanese woman in Los Angeles. Japan has extradition treaties with only two countries, the US and South Korea. Japan is almost an undeveloped country from the viewpoint of safety. The UK, France, the US and South Korea has extradition treaties, with 115, 96, 69 and 25 foreign countries, respectively. Some death merchants are deeply linked to the Japanese covert operation, such as the Russian revolution and the activities of Aum Shinrikyo cult. You may think that weapons deal requires a lot of manpower. In fact, if a dealer has enough money and some communication tools, he can mobilize many people and a lot of supplies. Today strict regulation on tax haven, which is said to have been the breeding ground of money laundering, has gained momentum. But criminals' haven must be eradicated, too.

Stalin and Truman Were at Love Suicide Harry Truman left the White House on January 20, 1953. On the other hand, Joseph Stalin died on March 5, 1953, which was January 20, 1953 in the Japanese calendar. But there was a hidden message in the coincidence.
Ringo(Apple) was Pun on Red Flag and Stalin Ringo Oiwake (Apple Oiwake Folk Song) was released on April 3, 1952. The song became a big hit. But the day was the thirtieth anniversary of Stalin's appointment to the post of General Secretary. The singer of the song was Hibari Misora, one of the most popular singers in Japan. But there are assertions that she had special relations with North Korean regime. Finally, Pun on Stalin and Ringo Starr As a matter of course, I came up with the name of Ringo Starr. Though I never expected, I was surprised at his birthday. He was born on July 7, 1940. July 7 is Qi Xi, a Chinese STAR FESTIVAL. It is sometimes called Chinese Valentine's Day in recent years. It's hardly possible that Ringo Starr knew the Chinese tradition and chose the nickname "star"(actually he added one more "r"). But probably he was chosen due to his birthday and his name. There are quite a few similar cases. July 7 is an important day for Japan's destruction of the Chinese culture. I investigated a little more. Ringo Starr's real name is Richard Starkey. It is said that he gained the nickname Ringo because of the rings he wore, but this story seems to be a little far-fetched. I don't feel any English nuance in the word "Ringo". I used a Google search to find the case examples but I couldn't find any web sites that use Ringo for meanings other than his name "Ringo Starr" or apples. If the pun was created only for Japanese, it may be an excellent one. Other Beatles members didn't use any stage names. I feel that something was unnatural when he replaced Pete Best as The Beatles' drummer. On July 7, 1940, when Ringo Starr was born, "Restriction Order of Using Precious Metal" was issued by the Japanese government in preparation for the war. But the order indicates Ringo Starr, who wore luxurious rings. The coincidence didn't stop there. The day was June 3 in the Japanese calendar. And on June 3, 1940, the Luftwaffe bombed Paris, and the Battle of Dunkirk ended with a German victory and with Allied forces in full retreat. The coincidence reminds me of that with John Lennon. John Lennon was born on October 9, 1940, when St. Paul's Cathedral in the City of London was hit by a bomb During a night-time air raid by the German Luftwaffe. Vengeful Japan Japan's vengeance against The Beatles is abnormal. Let me show some of them below.
Suspicions about the date of George Harrison's death I checked The Beatles members' birthday. George Harrison died on November 29, 2001. I remembered the news about his death some weeks after the 9.11 attack. I knew that it was somebody's birthday, but I just couldn't remember who the person was. The person was Jacques Chirac. France's obsession for the Olympic Games, music, the UK, the US and Japan is extraordinary. There are more than a few well-known people who mysteriously died after the treatment at the French hospital. This story seems to be endless. So, let me end it with one more suspicion. Death of Hibari Misora Hibari Misora died on June 24, 1989. But both the year 1989 and the date June 24 have historical significance in France. Some Japanese still remember the inexplicable media report about her death.

About 12 Years A Slave
A harrowing drama based on the true story of a free man kidnapped into slavery in the 1800s. Solomon Northrup (Chiwetel Ejiofor) is a free black man living happily with his wife (Kelsey Scott) and children in New York. He heads to Washington in the hopes of securing a new job, but is instead drugged before being forcibly transported to Washington and sold into slavery. He passes through the hands of a range of plantation-owners, including a master (Michael Fassbender) with a sadistic fixation on a female slave (Lupita Nyong'o). Stripped of his name and most of his human rights, Solomon realises that he must keep quiet and hide his educated background if he is to survive his ordeal and see his family again. As the title of the film suggests, it is a long road to freedom.

Walking around down here I have seen one person wearing a Minnesota shirt. I have seen well over 100 Clones. Looks like we traveled well from what I see! Lets go Clones!

I thought they only sold like 2000 tickets or something like that. They probably all just went in together and booked a Super 8 on the outskirts of town.
Watch it man there's a beverage here!
at my hotel lol I'm at the fiesta inn resort and there are a decent amount of gophers plus the band and cheerleaders
Iowa State: Anyone who's a true college basketball fan needs to see a game at Hilton Coliseum. Nice is in the DNA of Iowans and the fans here are particularly gracious -- even when the home team loses but gives a great effort, they are appreciative. ESPN.com picked Hilton Coliseum as the "Hot Arena" in the Big 12...coaches in the league noted that, "regardless of talent, the Cyclones have a home court like no other."

Sadly I have seen more gopher fans. It's crazy, I haven't seen any clone fans since breakfast. Weird.

Wow. There may be more rubes in the stadium wearing Hawkeye logos than Gopher logos.
Gene Smith, 1993-2000. 7 years, 6 NCAA's, 1 bowl game. Revenue sports postseason participation 50%. Good. Bruce Vandevelde, 2000-20005. 5 years, 4 bowl games, 2 NCAA's, 2 NIT's.

Minnesota. They dont care about this one like we do.
Embassy Suites roll call...... 1) Haverhill and Company
In their holes, my friend, in their holes.
I'm at the Homewood suites. Nice place. Where is everyone going tonight? Not sure about the rawhide wesern theme restaurant
I'm at University Inn. I'm on Mill Avenue, across the street from campus, and half a block from University Avenue. AND it was super cheap. Winner. Unfortunately, I'm here by myself. Where is everybody going tonight? I need dinner still, and I'm definitely up for bars/clubs/other kinds of drinking tonight. Would love to meet up with other Cyclones, especially fellow students. Let me know! Also, when do they stop sellng alcohol in stores here? Tailgaters: the motel owner told me that the parking lot on Mill (between University and 10th) is a HUGE tailgating spot. Has anyone heard about opening time for that? Anyone tailgating there? It's across the street from my place.
True and Valiant I also remember a game with Kansas when Cy (wore a huge suit then) went out to center field, squatted, and "pooped" a couple of chickens that had been dyed blue then chased them around.

I am at the Tempe Mission Palms hotel and I think all 500 gopher fans that made the trip are staying at my hotel.
I think their all at Bushwood Country Club.

The best government rests on the people, and not on the few, on persons and not on property, on the free development of public opinion and not on authority.
George Bancroft (1800 - 1891)
Contributed by: Zaady
The prejudices of ignorance are more easily removed than the prejudices of interest; the first are all blindly adopted, the second willfully preferred.
The public is wiser than the wisest critic.
If reason is a universal faculty, the decision of the common mind is the nearest criterion of truth.
In nine times out of ten, the slanderous tongue belongs to a disappointed person.
Truth is not exciting enough to those who depend on the characters and lives of their neighbors for all their amusement.
Westward the star of empire takes its way.
Source: Epigraph to Bancroft's History of the United States.
Beauty is but the sensible image of the Infinite. Like truth and justice it lives within us; like virtue and the moral law it is a companion of the soul.
The charities of life are scattered everywhere, enameling the vales of human beings as the flowers paint the meadows. They are not the fruit of study, nor the privilege of refinement, but a natural instinct.
Conscience is the mirror of our souls, which represents the errors of our lives in their full shape.

Layla by Eric Clapton
Description: Layla EDIT
Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs is a blues-rock album by Derek and the Dominos. It is now consistently regarded as one of the greatest rock and roll albums of all time, and one of the high points in Eric Clapton's career.
It was released in December of 1970; critical reception at the time was mixed, and it had mixed sales success. It peaked at #16 on Billboard's Pop Albums chart but, remarkably, in Britain it never made the charts at all.
In 2003 the TV network VH1 named Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs the 89th greatest album of all time. In 2003, the album was ranked number 115 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
