I bought the protective cover for the Scicon Aerotech TSA hard case to lessen the possibility of the beautiful case getting scuffed-up during airline flights. I have yet to use it, so I can't comment on its durability. I don't know if the thin material of the protective cover might itself be torn by rough handling during transit. This is the reason for 4 stars instead of 5. If the material had been a tougher Cordura Nylon then it certainly would be a 5 star product. The protective cover is one piece, with two openings on the top for the carrying handles and is secured by Velcro straps on the underside of the case by the wheels. I think it is a worth-while purchase if you value your high quality possessions and try to keep them in good conditions.

Comments about Sun Ringle Charger Custom 29" Wheelset:
This wheelset is great for the price. After some research on the what the "custom" meant, it turns out they were originally made for Niner bike company. The wheelset is a collaboration with Stans. Essentially it has the same specs as the Stans Flow EX but with a Sun Ringle hub. They are setup with a 15mm front and 142/12mm rear. Perfect for my 2012 Stumpjumper FSR. I am a clydesdale rider (250+) and put this bike through downhill hell. Currently running Purgatory 2.3 (front)and Captain 2.2 (Rear). Super stable.

WWE Hall of Famer Jake "The Snake" Roberts has reportedly been hospitalized after collapsing on a flight from Atlanta to Las Vegas.
The wrestler was taken to a Las Vegas hospital upon landing, where he has been in and out of consciousness and since been diagnosed with double pneumonia, according to TMZ Sports.
Raj Giri of WrestlingInc.com adds that doctors also found fluid in his lungs and a mass on his brain.
Fellow wrestler Sinn Bodhi, who is with Roberts at the hospital, told TMZ Sports that Roberts went to the doctor two weeks ago and was told he had the flu and needed to rest. Roberts continued feeling ill, but opted not to go to the doctor before his flight to Sin City, not knowing the flu was actually pneumonia.
After speaking with Roberts' girlfriend, retired wrestler Diamond Dallas Page, tweeted that Roberts is now conscious "but still fading in and out."

NATO in the 21st Century
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2003 12:15 p.m.
On April 4, 1949, twelve nations signed the North Atlantic Treaty in Washington, D.C., creating an alliance of independent countries militarily prepared to maintain peace, defend freedom, and foster stable international relations. Today, the alliance is an association of 19 sovereign nations. Seven Partnership for Peace (PfP) nations have been invited to join NATO in May 2004. These nations are Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia, and Slovenia.
Although the military aspect of NATO has always been visible, the alliance was not primarily a military organization, even in the early years. It is a political alliance of independent nations that reach decisions that are agreed to and supported by all.
Two senior military officers from the NATO headquarters of Allied Command Transformation will discuss current issues facing NATO during a luncheon presentation at the Athenaeum. Some of the issues to be discussed will include the costs and benefits of NATO enlargement, NATO's relationship with Russia and the Ukraine, and the events of 9/11 and NATO's efforts to help. Recent venues for this briefing team include CNN, Yale, Princeton, Duke, the U.S. Military Academy, the U.S. Naval Academy, and various U.S. Senate staffs.
Squadron Leader Roberts was born in North Wales, United Kingdom, and joined the Royal Air Force in 1973. Trained in communications security and intelligence, he served in various locations throughout the world working for the UK Intelligence Services, including the Gulf War in 1991 as part of the UK Special Air Services team.
Lieutenant Colonel Laurentius de Moel was educated at the military academy in the Netherlands, joining the Royal Netherlands Army in 1972. He was commissioned in 1977. He has served in command positions throughout the world and presently serves as the Chief Civil Military Cooperation Officer for the Supreme Allied Commander, Atlantic.
Lunch is served at 11:45 a.m. The presentation begins at 12:15 p.m. All are welcome to attend the presentation, reservations are needed to attend the lunch.
Rethinking the Juvenile Death Penalty: The Case of "Kansas Charley"
As of June 30, there were 78 death row inmates who were sentenced as juveniles. In a world where the prevailing opinion seems to be that we need to come away from the death penalty, nearly half of our states allow for juveniles to be sentenced to death. This issue continues to pick up steam, particularly after the Supreme Court ruling in Atkins v. Virginia (2002) which held that the mentally retarded could not be put to death. Many are seeking a similar ruling regarding juveniles found guilty of the most severe of crimes.
Through her book, Kansas Charley: The Story of 19th Century Boy Murderer (2003), Joan Jacobs Brumberg argues that we as Americans should think seriously about our decision to continue this form of punishment against our youth. By mixing history with psychology, Brumberg gives us a unique view of what shaped Charles Miller and led him to the life that he chose that eventually ended in his controversial hanging in 1892.
The Stephen H. Weiss Presidential Fellow at Cornell University, Brumberg has been teaching history, human development, and women's studies for twenty years. She is the author of The Body Project: An Intimate History of American Girls (1997) and Fasting Girls: The Emergence of Anorexia Nervosa As A Modern Disease (1988). She has been recognized by the Guggenheim Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Society of American Historians for her writing and precise research.
Rose Institute 30th Anniversary Address
With a state budget deficit of approximately $38.2 billion dollars, the recall election, accusations of special interests dominating the legislative agenda, California's political landscape is a complex terrain to navigate. Political journalist and Sacramento Bee columnist, Dan Walters, will address the political issues facing Californians in the aftermath of the historic October 7th election.
Dan Walters has been a journalist for more than 40 years, spending all but a few of those years working for California newspapers. At one point in his career, at age 22, he was the nation's youngest daily newspaper editor.
He joined the The Sacramento Union's Capitol bureau in 1975, just as Jerry Brown began his governorship, and later became the Union's Capitol bureau chief. In 1981, Walters began writing the State's only daily newspaper column devoted to California political, economic and social events and in 1984, he and the column moved to the Sacramento Bee. He has written more than 6,000 columns about California and its politics and his column now appears in more than 50 California newspapers.
Walters has written about California and its politics for a number of other publications, including The Wall Street Journal and the Christian Science Monitor. He has also authored or co-authored two books, The New California: Facing the 21st Century (1986), and The Third House: Lobbyists, Money and Power in Sacramento (2002). Additionally he is the founding editor of the California Political Almanac.
Mr. Walters' Athenaeum presentation is the culminating speech of the Rose Institute's 30th Anniversary Conference. Students and faculty are invited to attend the conference free of charge. The conference, being held in the Mary Pickford Auditorium, will begin at 1:30 pm. The first panel will address "Successful Initiatives: Unintended Consequences?" and the second panel, beginning at 3:30 pm, will address "Failed Initiatives: Missed Opportunities?"
Empire: The Rise and Demise of the British World Order and the Lessons for Global Power
MONDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2003 12:15 p.m.
"What is power?" British historian Niall Ferguson says most people today would give a simple answer: "Power is America." Yet with America still in its cradle, it was the British Empire that directed the world stage, governing roughly a quarter of the world's population at its peak in the nineteenth century. In Empire: The Rise and Demise of the British World Order and the Lessons for Global Power (2003), Ferguson explains how "an archipelago of rainy islands . . . came to rule the world." He offers a balanced analysis of both the costs and consequences (both good and bad) of British imperialism. Yet the historic, and entertaining, tale that Ferguson tells does not simply deal with the past. Ferguson seeks to glean lessons from this history for future, or present, empires- namely America. Pointing out that the U.S. is both a product of the British Empire as well as an heir to it, he asks whether America, an "empire in denial," should "seek to shed or shoulder the imperial load it has inherited." Combining history with an extensive knowledge of politics and economics, Ferguson points out that there is compelling evidence for both.
Niall Ferguson is Professor of Political and Financial History at Oxford University and Visiting Professor in Economics at the Stern School of Business, NYU. His other publications include Paper and Iron: Hamburg Businesses and German Politics in the Era of Inflation, 1897-1927 (1995), The Cash Nexus: Money and Power in the Modern World, 1700-2000 (2001), The Pity of War: Explaining World War I (1998), Virtual History: Alternatives and Counterfactuals (2000), and the award-winning House of Rothschild: Money's Prophets, 1798-1848 (1999). Ferguson writes regularly for The Times Literary Supplement and the New York Times and is a prolific commentator on contemporary politics. The Gould Center for Humanistic Studies and the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum are pleased to sponsor professor Ferguson's visit to CMC.
Lunch will be served at 11:45 a.m. Niall Ferguson will speak at 12:15 p.m.
Justice Delayed: 49 Years after Brown
Nearly fifty years have passed since the Supreme Court handed down a landmark ruling in Brown v. Topeka Board of Education. The ruling was supposed to be the end of the "separate but equal" doctrine established in 1896 in the case of Plessy v. Ferguson. Many efforts to promote the mixing of the races followed including controversial busing and the forced integration of Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas.
However, Thomas Pettigrew, a research professor of social psychology at the University of California, Santa Cruz, believes that we haven't progressed as far as many seem to think. A leading scholar on prejudice, Pettigrew asserts that the Rehnquist Court has implicitly overturned Brown in spirit, even if it hasn't yet done so explicitly in deed. Pettigrew argues that this has strong implications for the nation as a whole, and that we must be prepared to deal with the metamorphosis the Brown decision has undergone.
Pettigrew earned his Ph.D. from Harvard and taught at both Harvard and the University of North Carolina State before coming to UCSC in 1979. He retired from teaching in 1994 yet remains an active researcher and recently served as a senior fellow at Stanford University's Research Institute for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity. Pettigrew has specialized in intergroup relations throughout his career, and conducted research in that field in South Africa and Australia. He is the author of How to Think Like a Social Scientist (1997) and The Sociology of Race Relations: Reflections and Reform (1980). In 2002, the Society for Experimental Social Psychology presented him with its Distinguished Scientist Award. Professor Pettigrew's lecture is part of the series in Conflict Resolution as well the Athenaeum's recognition of landmark anniversaries.
The Watts Prophets: Talk Up, Not Down
The most influential artists that you probably never heard of !
The Watts Prophets were born out of the ashes of Watts, the Los Angeles Black ghetto that exploded into rage during the '60s. Firing angry words at the white establishment in rhythm and rhyme, their lyrics came straight from the rage and despair of the ghetto. Sages of wisdom, the Watts Prophets were the roots of rap.
Richard Dedeaux, Amde Hamilton, Otis O'Solomon, and poet/biographer Quincy Troupe were among the creative artists who emerged in 1967 from the Watts Writers Workshop, an artistic outlet for the Watts community established after the riots by Budd Schulberg, the Academy Award-winning screenwriter of "On the Waterfront." Today, the Watts Prophets are keeping the Workshop's healing legacy alive, bringing poetry and a positive message to juvenile offenders, Head Starters, and comfortable middle-schoolers in L.A. and across the country.
Over the years, the Watts Prophets have collaborated with jazz greats Don Cherry, Ornett Coleman, Sarah Vaughn, Billy Higgins, and Quincy Jones. Recognized as the progenitors of West Coast rap, their early albums of explosive social commentary were "In the Streets of Watts" (1970) and "Rappin' Black In a White World" (1971). They have recently released a new album "When the `90s Came (1997)," and toured with Ben Harper.
Dedeaux, Hamilton, and O'Solomon have lived and created in Los Angeles for more than 30 years . This trio, whose spoken/chanted/sung poems once told of their simmering anger over powerlessness in Watts, today are keeping the Workshop's healing legacy alive.
All are welcome for a wonderful evening of music and verse at the Athenaeum. This performance by the Watts Prophets is sponsored by the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum and Dean of Students at Claremont McKenna College.
Naked in the Promised Land: A Memoir
When Lillian Faderman's memoir, Naked in the Promised Land: A Memoir (2003), appeared earlier this year, it raised eyebrows. As one reviewer put it, "You can probably count on one finger the academic memoirs that include topless pinup shots of their authors." Faderman, a distinguished professor, university dean, and pioneering scholar of lesbian history, recounts a life story that makes visible what often gets erased in public conceptions of the professional academic- the steps that lead to the ivory tower.
Although Faderman's history is unique (daughter of an illiterate, unwed Jewish immigrant, pin-up model and exotic dancer, habitu of the underworld gay girls' bars of the 1950s), her book rings true for anyone who has walked into a classroom and left her or his past (and present) identity at the door.
Faderman has published ten books, including Surpassing the Love of Men: Romantic Friendship and Love Between Women from the Renaissance to the Present (1981) and Odd Girls and Twilight Lovers: A History of Lesbian Life in Twenty-Century America (1991), which are considered groundbreaking works in lesbian scholarship. Her books have been recognized by numerous awards, among them three Lambda Literary Awards, two American Library Association Awards, the Distinguished Senior Scholar Award given by the national American Association of University Women, as well as the Monette/Horwitz Award and Yale University's James Brudner Award, both for lifetime achievement in lesbian/gay scholarship. She teaches literature and creative writing at California State University at Fresno and has lectured widely at universities all over America.
Faderman will discuss and read from Naked in the Promised Land. She visits CMC in conjunction with the Gould Center seminar in Gay/Lesbian Writers of the 20th Century.
Exploring the Archives of the Third Reich: A Historian's Personal History
In the summer of 1958, a young American scholar found himself in a converted torpedo factory in Alexandria, Virginia, just across the Potomac River from Washington, DC. In that improbable archive, among stacks of captured German military documents he had been examining, Gerhard Weinberg found something that helped set, for decades to come, the course of his professional life. Indeed, during the subsequent decades, Professor Weinberg emerged as the preeminent American historian of World War II.
Years earlier, he had read, in the memoirs of one of Hitler's secretaries, of a "secret" book about Nazi foreign policy. Later, in 1953, Hugh Trevor-Roper's edition Hitler's Table Talk (2000) made reference to this "unpublished work"- by no less than the Fuhrer himself. Weinberg resolved to find it- if in fact it still existed (or ever existed). The diligence and resourcefulness he had invested in his search finally paid off when he discovered, in some remote recess of that converted factory, a folder that had lain unopened for more than a decade. Weinberg found within that folder a 324-page typescript labeled "Draft of Mein Kampf" "The moment I looked at it, read the opening lines and the attached document on its confiscation," Weinberg recalls, "it became obvious to me that this was not a draft of Mein Kampf (1924). In fact, this was the book to which I had seen references." Combining the instincts and sleuthing powers of a detective with the erudition and uncompromising standards of an estimable historian, Weinberg confirmed the document's authenticity, and persevered- over the next 40 years- in convincing scholars of the text's importance, and publishers of the necessity that it be issued.
In his Athenaeum presentation, Dr. Weinberg will describe the travails and triumphs of his life's work as a historian- including his endeavors involving the Nuremberg documents, the War Documentation Project, the American Historical Association microfilm project, the Berlin Document Center issues, and more recently, the Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Law and its implementation. Weinberg, the William Rand Kenan, Jr. Professor of History (emeritus) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, has authored numerous books, including the magisterial A World at Arms: A Global History of World War II (1994); a two-volume study entitled The Foreign Policy of Hitler's Germany; Transformation of a Continent: Europe in the Twentieth Century (1971); and edited the above-mentioned Hitler's Second Book: The Unpublished Sequel to Mein Kampf (2003).
The Gould Center for Humanistic Studies, which proudly sponsors this event, has named Dr. Gerhard L. Weinberg the Golo Mann Distinguished Lecturer for Academic Year 2003-04.
Consumer Confusion in the Mortgage Market
Financial economist Susan Woodward brings both a wealth of experience and her recent findings about mortgage broker compensation to the Athenaeum audience. Prior to founding Sand Hill Econometrics, where she is Chairman of the Board, Woodward spent a decade in public service in Washington D.C. She served as the Chief Economist at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Chief Economist at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). As the SEC's Chief Economist, Woodward concentrated on economic issues in securities law enforcement and policy issues in corporate finance, market regulation, and mutual funds. At HUD, she specialized in mortgage issues, a topic which, along with her experiences in public service, will found the basis for her Athenaeum lecture.
She will set the stage by explaining the institutional arrangements by which wholesale lenders communicate the interest rate/point grid (known as the rate sheet) to mortgage brokers. Subsequently, she will share her analysis of mortgage broker fees surrounding refinancing and home loans that reveals some very interesting trends. As she states, "shopping for a mortgage is not easy." Race, level of education, gender, and interest rates are all key variables affecting consumer confusion and, in turn, the broker fee on the loan. Expertly combining behavioral and labor economics into her analysis, Woodward's lecture has something for everyone.
Susan Woodward earned her B.A and Ph.D. in Financial Economics at UCLA. She has taught at the Stanford Law School, the University of Rochester Business School, and her alma mater, UCLA.
China Rising-Responsible Power or Future Threat?
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 2003 12:15 p.m.
As China grows stronger economically and militarily, how are its international ambitions and intentions changing? Does it intend to follow the rules of the international system or challenge them? Have the efforts of the United States and other governments to engage China been successful?
Professor Susan L. Shirk is highly qualified to address these questions that have serious consequences for the future security of the United States.
Shirk has been studying and visiting China since 1971. A leading academic expert on Chinese domestic politics and foreign policy, she is a professor in the Graduate School of International Relations and Pacific Studies, University of California, San Diego. Her books include How China Opened its Door: The Political success of the PRC's Foreign Trade and Investment Reform (1994), The Political Logic of Economic Reform in China (1992), Competitive Comrades (1982), and numerous scholarly and popular articles. She is currently writing a book on the domestic roots of Chinese foreign policy.
In addition to her academic contributions, Dr. Shirk has been an important player in American policy toward China and East Asia. She served as Deputy Assistant Secretary of State with responsibility for China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Mongolia in 1997-2000. In that capacity, she handled the visits of President Jiang Zemin and Premier Zhu Rongji to the United States and the visit of President Bill Clinton to China, the aftermath of the accidental bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade, and the WTO negotiations with China.
Before serving in the Department of State, Shirk was the director of the University of California system-wide Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation (IGCC). She also is the founder (1993) and leader of the Northeast Asia Cooperation Dialogue, an unofficial multilateral process for discussion of regional security issues among government officials, military officers, and academic experts from the United States, Japan, China, Russia, South Korea, and North Korea. She received her doctoral degree from MIT.
Dr. Shirk speaks at 12:15 p.m. after an 11:45 a.m. lunch and her visit is sponsored by the Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies.

W. S. Merwin is one of America's most powerful poets. From A Mask for Janus (1989), selected by W. H. Auden as the winner of the 1952 Yale Younger poets Award, to his 1970 Pulitzer Prize-winning The Carrier of Ladders (1970), to his epic of Hawaii The Folding Cliffs: A Narrative of 19th Century Hawaii (1998), Merwin has developed a luminous language for his flowing explorations of the human spirit and the natural world. Merwin has also become one of the eminent translators of our time, renowned for his versions of poets as diverse as Lorca, Borges, and Follain. His masterful translation of Dante's Purgatorio (2000) has been followed by widely acclaimed versions of the classic Sir Gawain and the Green Knight: A New Verse Translation (2002) and The Song of Roland (2001). His recent The Mays of Ventadorn (2002) explores in lyrical prose the world of 12th-century Provencal troubadours in light of his own experiences as a long-time visitor to Southwest France.
A long-tune resident of Maui, Hawaii, Merwin is also an environmentalist, cultivating rare palms in a three-acre garden. "Some of the palms I've planted were officially considered extinct at the time," but is pleased by the fact that several of his specimen top eighty-five feet. Merwin was raised in New Jersey, the son of a Presbyterian minister for whom he began writing hymns at the age of five. After attending Princeton and extensive travel in Europe, Merwin returned to the United States and became one of the most recognizable and innovative voices in American poetry. In addition to the Pulitzer Prize, Merwin has been the recipient of the Tanning Prize, the Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize, and the Bollingen prize.
The reading will begin at 2:00 p.m. in the Athenaeum. All are welcome. No reservations required.
An Evening with Sylvia Brownrigg
If E.M. Forster's dictum "only connect" reflected a longing for coherence in the early twentieth century- the desire to "live in fragments no longer"- then Sylvia Brownrigg has summed up the new millennium's response: "But how to stay connected?" Brownrigg's first novel, The Metaphysical Touch (1998), takes this question as its epigram and focuses on a relationship forged in cyberspace between characters living on opposite sides of the United States.
How to connect? How to stay connected? People in Brownrigg's fiction often ponder the things that hold the world together. Her collection of short stories, Ten Women Who Shook the World (2001), "can be read almost as parables," says one reviewer, "but they are so fully felt and imagined that they seem almost breathed into being rather than written- a sure sign of the presence of a great writer-, when you can't hear the writing, and the story just pours effortlessly into your thirsty ear." Pages For You (2001), Brownrigg's poignant second novel, recounts the highs and lows of a doomed first love, connection written from the perspective of loss.
Brownrigg has a degree in philosophy from Yale University. In addition to writing fiction, she regularly contributes book reviews to publications such as The New York Times and The Times Literary Supplement. Her visit to CMC; takes place as in conjunction with the Gould Center seminar in Gay/Lesbian Writers of the 20th Century.
An Execution in the Family: One Son's Journey
It has been fifty years since the controversial execution of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. At three years old, the younger of their two sons, Robert, was forced to experience a three year whirlwind which eventually left him without his patents. To this day, Robert, like many others, believes his parents were framed. While he acknowledges his father might have been a spy for the Russians during World War ll, it is clear to him that both of his parents received an unfair trial. Robert Meeropol was left with a deep resentment and moral opposition to the death penalty.
For more than thirty years, Meeropol has been a progressive activist. He and his brother, Michael, successfully sued the FBI and CIA, forcing them to release approximately 300,000 documents regarding his parents' case. In 1990 Robert Meeropol founded the Rosenberg Fund for Children, which provides educational and emotional support to children whose parents have been harassed, fired, arrested, or killed while pursuing their progressive activities.
The publication of his memoir, An Execution in the Family: One Son's Journey (2003), coincided with the 50th anniversary of his parents' executions. It describes the odyssey that created the driven activist he is today. According to actor Danny Glover, "Fortunately for us all, Meeropol reveals a soul-wrenching journey of personal courage and political discovery. An Execution in the Family is both timely and revealing. It is also a disturbing reminder of how, in the name of national security, constitutional guarantees can be easily ignored. It is a deeply moving account with painfully personal insights, into one of the most controversial cases in American history."
Robert Meeropol's presentation is part of the Athenaeum's series on Landmark Anniversaries.

Europe's emigration museums chronicle journey to U.S.
Cameron Hewitt
Stavanger's Norwegian Emigration Center is in an old warehouse near the wharf where passenger ships left for "Amerika."
Rick Steves
Outside of the Cobh Heritage Center in Ireland is a statue of Annie Moore and her two brothers. Moore was the first immigrant to be processed at Ellis Island when it officially opened on Jan. 1, 1892.
The boat ride was miserable. The only thing she could keep down was beer -- she became a teetotaler the day she saw the Statue of Liberty.
Having entered North America like a bad traveler -- not speaking the language, packing too much luggage and not enough money -- she navigated the immigrants' road to Edmonton, Alberta, where she eventually met her Norwegian husband.
Today, I zoom across the same ocean that took her weeks to cross. I enjoy my glimpses of the Old World, while remembering that millions of Europeans left it behind forever in search of the New World.
For those who want to take a closer look at this exodus, visit Europe's emigration museums, which chronicle the flood of departures in the 19th and 20th centuries.
If you have Norwegian roots as I do, a trip to the southern Norway port of Stavanger should include the Norwegian Emigration Center (www.emigrationcenter.com).
This fine facility is in an old warehouse near the wharf where the first boats sailed with emigrants to "Amerika" in 1825.
Its exhibits trace the story of the Norwegian diaspora: why they left, their journey, and what life was like in the New World.
You'll learn how the Norwegian population boom in the early to mid-19th century led to a critical shortage of basic resources, forcing 677,000 Norwegians to leave during the steamship era (1865 to 1915).
At the museum's study center, the staff can help answer genealogy questions. You don't need to be in Stavanger to use this service, but searching for your roots in the place where your ancestors took their last steps on Norwegian soil has a certain romantic appeal.
For Swedish Americans, the House of Emigrants in Vaxjo -- in Sweden's Glass Country -- offers powerful insights into the lives of Swedes who sought refuge in North America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries (www.utvandrarnashus.se).
As economic woes wracked Sweden (even a potato famine hit at one point), the country was caught up in an "American fever." Nearly 1.3 million Swedes endured long voyages and culture shock to find prosperity and freedom in the "promised land."
The museum's life-size Snusgatan exhibit re-creates the main street in a Swedish American neighborhood (like in Chicago's "Swede Town" or Minnesota's Twin Cities).
Other displays cover Swedish lifestyles, religion, women's experiences, and prominent Swedish-Americans, including Charles Lindbergh, and the second man on the moon, Buzz Aldrin.
Don't miss the display about the Titanic, which takes pains to point out that -- after Americans -- Swedes were the second-largest group to perish on that ill-fated vessel.
On view are a few items that went to the bottom of the Atlantic with one of those Swedes.
In Germany, Hamburg's BallinStadt Emigration Museum depicts European emigration from the mid-19th century through World War II (www.ballinstadt.net).
Especially after 1890, many emigrants from the Austro-Hungarian and Russian empires went first to Hamburg, by train or even on foot, before crossing the ocean. The museum is in dormitory buildings that once housed sick emigrants until they were healthy enough to leave.
Ireland offers two good choices. The Ulster American Folk Park near Omagh (about 70 miles west of Belfast) is a combination museum and folk park commemorating the many Scots-Irish who left their homeland, most settling in the southern United States (www.nmni.com).
In Cobh, near Cork on the island's south coast, travelers can view exhibits on the potato famine, Irish emigration and Australia-bound prison ships at the Cobh Heritage Centre (www.cobhheritage.com).
There's even a statue of the first immigrant to arrive at Ellis Island. Those with Irish roots can use the Heritage Centre's genealogy search (costs about $13 for 30 minutes of research assistance, email ahead to firstname.lastname@example.com;http://www.redstarline.org[URL]).
Between 1873 and 1935, this shipping line brought some 2 million emigrants to New York, including Jews escaping eastern European pogroms.
The exhibits will trace the history of the line and its passengers, display artifacts from the emigrants, and show evocative artwork depicting passengers poignantly waiting for a steamship to whisk them off to the New World.
Visiting an emigration museum can make you a happier American, as well as a citizen of the world. While I have kept my grandparents' religion and eat fish balls and goat cheese, I can barely say hello in Norwegian.
I'm proud of my heritage -- and I'm proud to be an American. The physical hardship, uncertainty and risks my grandparents endured became the foundation for a big, happy, typically American family.

Slow-Cook Once for Multiple Healthy Meals
by Monica Resinger
Related Articles
Crock Pot® Cooking
All-Day Slow Cooker Recipes
Tasty Slow Cooker Recipes
I have found a wonderful way to save even more time with the slow cooker and that is to cook a few days' worth of meat at once and then use the cooked meat for a few nights' worth of upcoming meals. You will need a large slow cooker for this; if you don't have a large slow cooker, don't go out and buy one brand new since they are abundant at thrift stores.
Because I am working at serving healthier meals to my family, this article will be referring to boneless skinless chicken breast, but the idea can be applied with any meat.
The first day, after spraying the slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray (great tip for easy clean-up), I added a few cut-up carrots to the bottom of the crock and seasoned them with seasoning salt. You could add any vegetables of your choice that would go with any of your upcoming meals. Then I added layers of boneless skinless chicken breast to the top (probably around three to four), seasoning each layer with fresh chopped garlic and seasoning salt (an added benefit is that your house will smell so good all day long). Be sure to trim any fat off the breast before adding to the pot. I added about 1/2 cup of water, placed the lid on top and turned the slow cooker on to low for about eight hours. It was very easy work for enough succulent cooked meat for at least three days' worth of meals!
Meal #1: The first night we had chicken sandwiches. After spraying a pan with non-stick cooking spray, I toasted onion buns over medium heat, then let the family add their own condiments like sliced tomato and onion, lettuce, mayonnaise, mustard, etc., and a piece of the cooked chicken. They were delicious! I served oven fries with the sandwiches. Simply slice potatoes, put them on a baking sheet sprayed with non-stick cooking spray, spray the potatoes with the cooking spray, season, and cook at 400 degrees F for 40-60 minutes. Honestly, these are better than the ones drenched in oil, and I am one that loves deep-fried French fries and all the fattening foods!
Meal #2: Since I have some more onion buns from meal #1, I will make a delicious barbecue sauce (you can use bottled if you prefer), then add chunked up chicken to the sauce and serve that over the toasted onion buns. We'll have the carrots that were cooked with the chicken and baked potatoes on the side.
Meal #3: I'll make a delicious marinara sauce, then add cut-up cooked chicken to it and serve over spaghetti with garlic bread on the side. A great way to add flavor and nutrients to spaghetti or marinara sauce is to add finely minced carrots, celery or other vegetables to the sauce. You can saute them along with the onions, or add them straight to the sauce.
These are just a few ideas. Chicken is so versatile that there are endless ideas for using the cooked meat in meals. You could do salads, soups, casseroles and more. If you are making a soup, be sure to use the delicious broth that this creates!
I hope this gives you inspiration for dusting off your slow cooker and putting it to use. They are such a great way to save time, even if you use them for one night's meal.

NIH Pays Tribute to the First Woman Appointed Director of an NIH Institute, Ruth L. Kirschstein
Current and former National Institutes of Health (NIH)
scientists and staff, as well as members of Congress, honored Ruth L. Kirschstein, M.D., the first woman appointed director of an NIH Institute, for the positive impact she made as a leader in the scientific
"Ruth embodied the spirit of NIH. She was an icon. She was loved and admired by so many at the NIH, across the medical research community, among hundreds of members of Congress, and around the world. There are few at the NIH who have not been touched by her warmth, wisdom, interest, and mentorship," said Francis S. Collins, M.D., Ph.D., director of the NIH.
Kirschstein, who passed away in 2009, was
honored in 2010 with a tribute and symposium
in her honor that featured four sessions with
11 featured speakers and ended with a reception.
Scientists and researchers who received funds
from the Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award presented the sessions. The awards have supported the work of thousands of researchers, and the quality of their research has elevated the program to the ranks of Fulbright Awards and Rhodes Scholarships.
As the first woman director of an NIH Institute—the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS)—Kirschstein was known for mentoring young researchers, especially women and minorities. In 1993, Kirschstein became acting director of the NIH, and then served as the deputy director under NIH Director Harold Varmus for the next 6 years. She was acting director again from 2000 to 2002.
A Brooklyn native, Kirschstein wanted to be a doctor from a young age and fulfilled her dream after graduating magna cum laude in 1947 from Long Island University. She then went to Tulane University School of Medicine, where she was one of 10 women in a class of 100 men.
She interned in medicine and surgery at Kings County Hospital in Brooklyn and completed residencies in pathology in Detroit, New Orleans, and the then new NIH Clinical Center. In 1957, Kirschstein joined the Federal Government, beginning a 15-year stint as an experimental pathologist at the NIH Division of Biologics Standards, now known as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research.
In her first major accomplishment as a scientist, Kirschstein led the development of a safety test for the polio vaccine in the 1950s and 1960s. Ultimately, her work led to widespread adoption of the Sabin oral vaccine, especially in developing countries. Kirschstein continued to develop tests for the safety of vaccines for other diseases, including measles.
In 1974, after 2 years with the FDA, Kirschstein was appointed director of the NIGMS, a post she held for nearly 20 years. One of her most significant accomplishments as NIGMS director was her dedication to funding HIV/AIDS research and helping to establish the Genbank nucleic acid sequence database, which has been a critical tool for biomedical research. She championed myriad programs in basic biomedical research and research training that have helped to transform biomedical research.
"Ruth Kirschstein was a legendary scientist and administrator . . . a pioneer . . . a champion for the advancement of women and minorities in biomedical research . . . a strong advocate for research training, especially interdisciplinary predoctoral programs," said U.S. Representative David Obey, chairman of the House Appropriations Committee.
Kirschstein remained active at the NIH in her later years as a senior adviser; she was on a conference call with NIH Director Collins a week before her death. Kirschstein embodied the spirit of the NIH and was responsible for the career development of innumerable scientists and administrators.

I always worry about digital photos not printing well but they did a great job. My magnets are what I hoped for. I love that I was able to customize the design colors, fonts, and all text. Small complaint is it would be great if colors weren't tied together but I suppose that's the artists original design choice.

CARSON, Calif. – The SuperClasico is always a heated game for the LA Galaxy and Chivas USA, but the match will have extra implication as LA look to solidify a spot in the postseason.
The Rojiblancos have long since been eliminated from contention for the MLS Cup Playoffs, but the Galaxy are currently tied for fourth place with the Colorado Rapids, just one point ahead of sixth place San Jose Earthquakes. With the Rapids taking on Seattle Sounders FC on Saturday before facing San Jose next Wednesday, LA must begin to rack up points as they seek to qualify for the playoffs for the fifth straight season.
Although the SuperClasico is always a heated and physical affair, Galaxy midfielder Marcelo Sarvas admits that LA must approach each game like it's a playoff game from here on out.
"It's like every game from here to the end of our journey this season. We have to get points because we are dealing with a lot of risk," Sarvas told LA Galaxy Insider. "We're very close to heaven and yet very close to hell. We need to reach the playoffs."
CARSON, Calif. – Sean Franklin knows that he could have done better last Sunday when Portland Timbers forward Maximiliano Urruti beat him to the end line and flicked in the only goal of Portland's 1-0 victory over the LA Galaxy. Now the Galaxy right back is determined not to let that happen again.
Urruti's goal is emblematic of the set piece goals—the team has allowed 13 to date— that have plagued the Galaxy throughout the season. After the error in the Rose City, Franklin admits that the team must get back on track when it comes to defending set pieces.
"We're definitely not going to get back to the playoffs or win any championships by allowing goals like that. I think that I just need to bump him or beat him to the spot," said Franklin. "[Urruti] was able to beat me and score a goal, but that's just not acceptable on my part. Especially with how late it is in the season when every point counts."
The Galaxy and Franklin will look to get back to winning ways on Sunday when they take on Chivas USA in the final edition of the SuperClasico. Although allowing set piece goals has certainly been a recurring theme for LA this year, Franklin insists that the problem will be fixed in time for the postseason.
"This week is huge. I'm disappointed with the result last week, but this is a huge game this week against Chivas. It's going to be ugly and scrappy as it always is," said Franklin. "This game is going to be a fight and I'm looking forward to getting ready to go to war on Sunday with my teammates."
CARSON, Calif. – Set pieces have been a recurring problem for the LA Galaxy this year with the team conceding 13 goals off set pieces to date, but if they're ever going to correct the problem, they'll need to get a little bit down and dirty.
The Galaxy conceded their sixth goal off a corner kick during LA's 1-0 defeat to the Portland Timbers on Sunday that was a result of Maximiliano Urruti's goal off a Will Johnson corner in the 52nd minute. Following the loss, LA defender Omar Gonzalez implored his teammates to get a little bit nastier on set pieces and following training on Tuesday, associate head coach Dave Sarachan agreed with the defender.
"I think that's a big part of it. There has to be [a sense of] physicality when you defend restarts," said Sarachan. "There is wiggle room that referees are allowing because in reverse we feel like we get impeded like crazy and as long as we know what the parameters are within the letter of the law, we've got to be a little bit grittier as well.
"There's a lot of colliding going on set pieces and there's a lot of moving pieces, but underlying that is an intense concentration and making sure that you beat your guy to that ball," said Sarachan. "If we're not good at it then we better get at it because it's been an issue for us."
CARSON, Calif. – This summer has been a rollercoaster for LA Galaxy midfielder Robbie Rogers, but now the 26-year-old is ready to get back to what he does best—play soccer.
The hoopla that surrounded his coming out and the subsequent trade of his rights to the Galaxy from the Chicago Fire in exchange Mike Magee dominated the headlines, but the midfielder has struggled to make a lasting impact on the field. To date, Rogers has made nine appearances with six starts in MLS league play as well as an appearance in U.S. Open Cup and CONCACAF Champions League.
Out since Aug. 20 with a left hamstring injury, Rogers went through his second full day of training on Tuesday and hopes to return to game action sooner rather than later -- possibly as soon as LA's match against the Montreal Impact on Oct. 16.
Although it has been an "unlucky summer" for Rogers that has seen him deal with frustrations he's hopeful that he'll be able to get back on the field.
"You come back from having five months off and then you retire, but then you come back to a sport that was rough for you when you were younger with being gay and, then once you have the courage to come back, you get injured three times and then get sick in the middle of that. It's very frustrating," said Rogers. "But I'm happy that I play here [with the Galaxy] and that I have my family here to support me. I love doing this, I feel like I've immersed myself in the team and I love being able to train here. It's frustrating [not being able to play], but it's part of sports.
"This summer has been a bitch for me, to be honest, but I feel good now," said Rogers. "Knock on wood that I won't have any more injuries because that could possibly be [the end of] my season if I do."
As for the connection with Magee and the vocal minority of the Galaxy fanbase that mention the trade? Rogers is pushing that out of his mind.
"They can say all they want with Mike Magee, but the truth is that he asked for a trade and [Galaxy head coach and general manager Bruce Arena] said that he wouldn't have traded Mike Magee if he hadn't asked for a trade," said Rogers. "That puts pressure on me…but people can say that if they want, if they want to blame something, I don't care. I get to be out here and play soccer in my home town and in front of my family. That's what I wanted, but I'll get over these injuries and those expectations will be there again."
IThe LA Galaxy's playoff hopes are coming to come right down to the wire.
I analyze the current playoff picture in the following piece for LAGalaxy.com.
The Galaxy sit in a tie for fourth place in the Western Conference with the Colorado, just a point ahead of sixth place San Jose Earthquakes, who are on the outside looking in. The Galaxy and Colorado each have four games remaining while San Jose have three left on their docket. However, the Earthquakes will play the Rapids on Oct. 9 at Buck Shaw Stadium before taking on the LA Galaxy on Oct. 20 at StubHub Center.
Imagine a Knockout Round game between the Galaxy and the Earthquakes? Intense, right?
Now is your chance to vote and offer your thoughts in the comments. Where will the Galaxy finish the season?
Jaime Penedo is up for MLSsoccer.com's Goal of the Week for his 57th minute save in the LA Galaxy's 1-0 defeat to the Portland Timbers on Sunday.
Vote for Penedo here and see all the candidates below.
The phrase "must see goal" gets thrown around too easily, but this Robbie Keane video taken last week is certainly something to see.
The video of Keane's spectacular goal in training first appeared on the Instagram of Galaxy equipment assistant Rafael Verdin before turning up on the LA Galaxy captain's official Facebook page.
Check it out.
PORTLAND, Ore. – A few notes from the LA Galaxy's 1-0 defeat to the Portland Timbers.
*The Galaxy have now conceded six of their 36 goals on corner kicks. Stretch it out to include indirect free kicks and LA has conceded 13 on set pieces.
*LA is now 3-9-2 when allowing the first goal. In one goal games, LA's record is 5-7-0.
*LA Galaxy center back Leonardo did not travel due to left adductor fatigue.
*Landon Donovan made his 300th MLS Regular Season appearance of his career.
*The Galaxy are now 4-9-3 on the road—exclude the match against Chivas USA and the team is 3-9-3.
PORTLAND, Ore. – The LA Galaxy were heated when a Robbie Keane goal was called back in stoppage time due to offside, but the team had no quarrel after the final whistle.
Keane appeared to tie the game in stoppage when he headed a Landon Donovan free kick into the back of the net, but the assistant referee Eric Boria raised his flag, ruling the play offside. The offside call through the Galaxy into a fury after the whistle was blown, but television replays showed that Boria was correct as the Galaxy captain was off once Donovan struck the free kick.
"If the referee is right, more credit to him," said LA head coach Bruce Arena. "We've been in a lot of games this year where the plays aren't even close and they don't have them right. So, if they had it right, more credit to them."
Despite initial frustration in the heat of the moment, Keane shrugged off any frustration after the match.
"Someone said that I had a shoulder offside," said Keane. "If it was offside then it was offside."

PORTLAND, Ore. – LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena offered his thoughts following the LA Galaxy's 1-0 defeat to the Portland Timbers on Sunday.
(Overall thoughts on the match…)
ARENA: "It was a good game. I think given the conditions, both teams played well."
(On the offside call in second-half stoppage time…)
ARENA: "If the referee is right, more credit to him. We've been in a lot of games this year where the plays aren't even close and they don't have them right. So, if they had it right, more credit to them."
(On the impact of the weather on the match…)
ARENA: "It's not easy. It's the same for both teams, so you can't complain about it. … The conditions never make it easy on these fields. When you combine it with wind and rain then it'll be far from perfect."
(On the Western Conference playoff race…)
ARENA: "You have to win enough games and have enough points to get in [the playoffs]. I don't think that anyone has a playoff position yet? I think there are some teams concerned."

Yonten Nyima wrote:This is a touchy subject in my life so I feel I must contribute to this. But first Id like to thank the person who began this thread because its a serious issue facing Buddhist practitioners all over the world, and maybe more so in traditional buddhist cultures.
My father is an Evangelical christian, who believes HH Tenzin Gyatso and HH Ogyen Trinley are going to burn in hell, that Buddha will be there waiting, and we'll all have a seat with eachother there.
However he says it helps me so its good.
Every time I meet a buddhist, they ask about my practice and how I started, and it always comes to this.
Christians believe without accepting Jesus, no virtue we practice will matter in the eyes of god. I cant accept this, which is contrary to what bedhisattvas do, as buddhists we're taught its the correct path to accept all things and hold all things as possible as an antidote to the view of duality.
I dont understand these people, and I cant figure out how to reconcile these differences and uneasy feelings, other than feeling like, "well if that makes you happy, and makes you feel safe, then good for you. But its not for me." But its no good.
Thank you for the detailed response. I generally try to be very diplomatic and "Buddhist" about this reality in my life, but there are times when it is difficult. I have studied Christianity, as being "my" religion, in tremendous depth, and I can take part in the most updated, intricate theological discussions. I know as a fact that I know more about it than most pastors and reverends, and yet I choose to follow the beautiful, real path of Buddhism. Still, I quite often have to defend it, or bite my tongue in public discussions. The whole Christian evangelical mess sometimes irritate me tremendously. I should not be saying this, I suppose, but I am actually quite glad to see how Christianity is losing ground in the West.
In these days of weapons of mass destruction, of mass violence always a heartbeat away, I for one can certainly do with a lot less theism around me.
My apologies if I have offended anyone here, I am aware of the fact that I should not get so irritated with this at times. It's a practice

It's back to Super Rugby, just as I was getting into the Test month. And nothing has changed when it comes to me and the Cheetahs. I am still backing them to come unstuck.
It's certainly said with a degree of regret because I haven't been impressed with the Stormers lack of enterprise and attacking conviction but I do believe the suffocating nature of the Stormers will prove decisive in Cape Town to killing off the Cheetahs prospects of a Super Rugby play-off.
I can't stand the month long break in Super Rugby as it kills momentum and makes for two tournaments within one.
The Cheetahs have played wonderful rugby this season but they aren't good enough to win the tournament. They have had a remarkable run with the core of the squad that started the season and they've given players like Willie le Roux and Adriaan Strauss a wonderful platform.
Strauss has been superb as a leader. Le Roux has been equally inventive as an attacker.
The Stormers, despite being 11th on the table, have been very difficult to beat and only one point has separated the two teams on both occasions they have met this year. Both those games were in Bloemfontein. Home ground advantage will be the decider this weekend.
The Bulls will continue to march towards a home play-off against the Kings. They will win 20-plus in Pretoria and the Sharks, despite the upheaval with John Plumtree's exit, will beat the inconsistent Blues. John Kirwan's lads have been a mixture this season but they still haven't shown great form on the road and they'll struggle in South Africa.
Stormers to take it by 5, Bulls by 20 and Sharks by 10.

Havelock commissioners balked at the idea of spending $25,000 up front to participate in a joint economic development organization with Craven County during their meeting on Tuesday.
"It's not a lot of money, but it's still money," Havelock City Manager Frank Bottorff said.
Timothy Downs, director of economic development for the county, said the organization would have 21 members, including three from Havelock, three from New Bern and four from the county. The other 11 would be from the private sector.
The mission of the group would be to develop a plan to attract businesses to the area and create jobs.
In the past, Havelock commissioners have spent $30,000 with the firm Davenport Lawrence to develop its own economic plan, mainly as a way to diversify the economy should Cherry Point downsize and to attract other businesses to the area.
Downs said the benefit of a single economic development entity in the county would breed trust and credibility with the community, have greater flexibility and demonstrate unity between the areas involved.
While generally supportive of the concept, commissioners questioned a proposed funding structure that would require the city to pony up $25,000 as an initial buy-in on top of the $11,250 annual contribution.
"Why hit us up front?" Mayor Will Lewis asked Downs and New Bern businessman Owen Andrews during their presentation.
"What do you get from the buy-in? The perception of the citizens," Andrews said. "People want to know that the city of Havelock is committed to this. Otherwise, it won't work. It shows that we have the city behind us."
Commissioner Danny Walsh asked about up-front costs for other cities such as Vanceboro and Cove City, where more land would be available for large businesses.
"Other communities are going to benefit," Commissioner George Liner said. "They've got the land. We've got 43 acres unless we tear down some of the old buildings."
Liner pointed out that the money contributed to the Economic Development Organization from Craven County came in part from Havelock residents and Cherry Point workers already.
"To say that we don't have buy-in is wrong," Liner said. "It's not Craven County's money. It's our money, too."
The $25,000 would be equivalent to a penny added to the property tax rate in Havelock.
"For a penny from Havelock is significantly different than a penny from New Bern," Bottorff said, comparing the difference in size and tax base between the two cities.
Liner came right out and said that he didn't trust Craven County.
"There is a lack-of-trust factor that has to go away," Andrews responded.
Commissioners did say the benefit of the organization would be that the city would not have to pay for its own economic developers.
"There's cuts that could be made and it could be Davenport (Lawrence) and the lobbyist," said Commissioner Jim Stuart. "Just for two or three years to see how things go."
"I think economic development is a huge piece for this area and we're going to have to have something to bring jobs and to bring businesses to Havelock," Commissioner Brenda Wilson said.
Liner wasn't convinced.
"As far as I'm concerned, there's a lot of work that has to be done," he said.
Lewis proposed that two commissioners and Bottorff meet further with Downs and representatives from Craven County to hammer out an agreeable arrangement.
"I don't want a number to be what keeps this from happening," Downs said.

You may have heard a lot of talk about Idaho recently, and it's no small potatoes. Idaho's governor, C.L. "Butch" Otter, recently signed into law a controversial anti-whistleblower "ag-gag" bill that punishes those who expose abusive conditions on factory farms. Though Governor Otter claims this law will keep agriculture producers "secure in their property," we, and countless others concerned about the welfare of animals, are extremely concerned about the greater implications of ag-gag.
In passing this bill, Idaho became the seventh state to enact an ag-gag law. By effectively closing out journalists, investigators, and even the general public from animal production facilities, the agribusiness industry can continue to keep consumers in the dark about where their food is coming from.
We have seen countless instances of abuse on industrial farms, including the recent case of a Wisconsin dairy farm that produces cheese for the frozen pizza brand DiGiorno. Undercover footage taken by Mercy For Animals caught workers at this farm viciously kicking, stabbing, beating, and dragging cows, and the footage led to 11 charges of criminal animal cruelty. Without such footage, we may never have known of these horrors, and because of ag-gag laws, we may never learn of countless other, similar instances.
Sadly, these bills are popping up everywhere, and we're up against a mighty opponent. We, and the animals, need your help to make sure that no more of these bills, or any others that imperil the lives of animals, pass into law.
For the animals, for the safety of our nation's food supply, and for the health of you and your family, please stand with us today.
otter is a rancher, and probably getting campaign funds by signing this bill. he is condoning the abuse, beating, and sexual abuse of animals. they had it on film......some were convicted, but these people need to be stopped.there are really no laws protecting any animals in Idaho.
Just goes to show you that everybody has a price with how low and despictable they will become.....just got to figure the price . No matter how fancy a car and house and suit, when a person supports this type of cruelty they are as guilt as the people committing. Of course, a greater house and more expensive car with the new money coming in will make them forget the cries of pain, of anguish, of torment behind doors, unseen.....and unheard now .with your sick help..to hide it... I HEAR THEM. I hope you burn in hell where you hear the cries of innocent , helpless animals forever.......
Agree. Those who commit evil act can't get away from their life, they are like mirrors and shadows that will always haunt them till they finally break down. No one can get away from Karma: what goes around comes around!! Beautiful can peace come from within, those who harm others can never experience the bliss as they have so much hate in their life. They will suffer more when their time comes.
Agree - so sad - how can any human condone this violence toward an innocent voiceless animal...it is not fair - stiffer penalties, real jail time - huge fines - we have to stop this disgusting animal abuse.
Hurting a defenseless, innocent, voiceless animal is beyond disgusting!! Strict, hard punishment must be put into place for animal abusers - any of them and all of them - NO exceptions!! Not just a slap on the wrist or turning to look the other way!! It will never end otherwise!! These people who get a sick feeling of power over hurting helpless animals are monsters and their inhumane treatment must be stopped. No loopholes of any kind whatsoever!! It is appalling!! Stop the suffering and agony and death of animals by stopping and punishing the abusers - every state - everywhere!!
Donna, They will get theirs in the end,if not in this life,in the hereafter.God gave us the animals to look after and that doesn't include cruelty. I think he gave us the animals like cows and pigs to eat,but to be put down in a humane way.
I doubt it Lola- those kind of people- cruel, inhumane....just keep on going thru life without a thought to our precious animals and I doubt "they will get theirs in the end"- just a vicious circle.
If it's any consolation, I believe they'll "get theirs" when they meet their maker
I believe that too but we must try NOW to end the horror that is these animal's lives. It may be a war we can't win but on the other hand we could possibly make life better for them. I have to believe that and we all have to try. If you do nothing else, stop paying these people for the cruelty they commit daily. Money is the root of any industry, this is big money. Alert enough people (you'd be amazed at the millions who don't have any idea) and many will care enough. It takes little change on our part to do the right thing. Anything dairy puts out vegan food does it and does it BETTER for health and taste. The spices used in vegan food are simply delicious and face it, that's what everyone likes about meat-- the taste of how it's cooked, not the meat all by itself.
Dolores---you are so right. As an animal advocate all my life, there are so many acts of animal abuse I see and "shutter" to think of what we don't see. I tell everyone "there is a circle in hell for anyone that ever abuses or harms any animal." There is an long time indian believe that when we pass away there will be all the animals we've helped/owned/rescued/or known at the gates of heaven. They will determine whether we get into heaven based on how kind we were to them. (we know alot that will be turned away to suffer in hell)!!

This building - modelled on a shard of ice - sits slap bang in the middle of Shell's three London headquarters. They don't want us talking about their plan to drill in the Arctic. We're here to shout about it from the rooftops. Join in by sharing this far and wide.
Victo, Ali, Sabine, Sandra, Liesbeth & Wiola
There are only six of us. But together we can show that we're thousands strong. Please share this as widely as you can.Back to the action
You'll be the first to know what happens next in our campaigns
Ali has been climbing since the age of 18 and a Greenpeace volunteer for one year. She hopes to help bring attention to the dangers facing the Arctic.
"We're climbing this building because it's time to draw a line in the ice and say to the oil companies you come no further."
Sabine has been volunteering with Greenpeace for seven years. She felt inspired to train as a climber after helping other activists in Belgium.
"If I can see the Shell headquarters that means they can see me and they'll see our message: get out of the Arctic."
Sandra recently completed an MA in environmental science and has spent four years volunteering for Greenpeace. She feels the Arctic is one of the most important campaigns of her generation.
"It's going to take hours. We're hauling ourselves into the sky, but Shell won't be able to ignore us anymore."
Liesbeth began climbing in high school and now climbs various terrains such as alpine, ice and rock. She joined Greenpeace seven years ago because she loves to be outdoors and it hurts her to see nature getting ruined.
"Climbing is what I do, but what about you? We can all do something to save the Arctic"
Victoria climbs in her spare time and has been involved with Greenpeace for five years. She feels that drilling for oil in the Arctic is one of the most heart-breaking acts of environmental destruction today and feels proud to be part of the resistance to these plans.
"Since I was a kid I saw the destruction of nature and wanted to shout something from the rooftops. That's what this is about."
Wiola has been a Greenpeace volunteer for four years. She wants to change the way that companies are exploiting vulnerable regions like the Arctic.
"I came to London to make a stand. We've trained so hard. Now we're ready."
We're attempting to scale the Shard to send a message to the headquarters of oil giant Shell.
In the last 30 years we've lost 80% of the Arctic sea ice.
The white ice cap at the top of the world has shrunk so much that scientists say the North Pole could be ice free any time in the next few decades. The last time there was no Arctic sea ice was 800,000 years ago.
The survival of polar bears and other iconic species is threatened by that melt. But the Arctic is more than just a home for polar bears. The vast white ice sheets reflects the sun's rays back into space, cooling the entire Earth.
As the ice disappears our global weather becomes more unpredictable. Farming gets harder. Hunger gets worse.
The Arctic is a vital part of our home and that's why it matters to everyone on our shared planet to protect it.
Shell and other oil companies want to use the melting Arctic to drill for oil. They want to drill in the places they can only now reach because the ice is melting. And burning that oil only accelerates the melt.
It's a vicious circle that only makes sense if you're an oil executive thinking about your company's short-term profits. Or you're a politician hoping some quick money will help you win the next election.
But we are not those people. We have a responsibility to think bigger than that.
What we decide today about the Arctic and climate change will affect humanity long after these oil company logos and opportunistic politicians are forgotten.
That's why we're up here, scaling this skyscraper modelled on a shard of ice. As we look down, we're in the midpoint of Shell's three London offices. From here we want to send them a message they won't forget.
If we make it to the top, we hope to install a giant piece of art that will show the true beauty of the Arctic and why we're telling Shell to keep its rusty rigs away. We can see them, so we know they can see us.
But that's enough about what we're doing. We want to hear from you. What will you do to save the Arctic?
Let us know by sending us a message.
Create a global sanctuary in the uninhabited area around the North Pole and a ban on oil drilling and industrial fishing in Arctic waters.Close

My first experience with Bora Bora as it was a gift. I love it! I'm a casual sort of person who likes the flowery scents, but not the strong overpowering ones. Bora Bora is perfect and has a mixture of those island overtones and fresh breezy feelings.
