Leticia James Warns Consumers About Classified Ads Toll numbers may be a direct line to trouble. Classified ads are intended to help people by facilitating communication and advertising available services; however, some of the hotlines & service numbers in classifieds actually hurt the people who rely on them by cheating them of their hard-earned dollars. "Most newspapers print a disclaimer in their classified ad section to warn readers about numbers that are a direct line to trouble. Any number starting with 900, 540, 595 or 871 charges a fee beyond a local call. In some instances, ads initially advertise calls to a local number, but then direct callers to a second number starting with one of the paid exchanges. "Consumers must also question the legitimacy of vague classifieds because they too could be a scam. Before responding to an ad, consumers should verify the source of all information & always be wary about sending money or signing a contract with an unknown party." Office of the Public Advocate

Within a 10-days Chopin trip throughout Europe including events in Warsaw, Vienna, Paris and Nohant a group of the french travel agency "La Fugue Europera" was hosted at Bösendorfer Downtown Showroom.
As the only female pianist on the tour, Dory Deliyska presented a wonderful program with masterpieces of Chopin and Liszt, which demonstrated both contrasts and similarities between the two composers. The musical part was completed by snapshots from the life of Chopin as well as extracts from his letters and press articles about his performances.
Bösendorfer Downtown Showroom hosted music lovers from France, Greece and Spain.
Olivier Luciani, organiser of the whole trip, sent us the following feedback:
"We would like to thank Ursula Oberhollenzer from Bösendorfer, and Dora Deliyska, a young Bulgarian pianist, for the organisation of a private evening, at the Bösendorfer Stadtsalon / Wien, on February 27th, 2010.
Both of them created a very interesting concert/lecture, with Chopin and Liszt masterpieces (played by Dora) and letters about Chopin (read by Ursula). Our clients (French, Greek, Spanish music lovers) were very happy about this unusual venue, and learnt a lot about Chopin's short stay in Vienna.
This was also the opportunity for us to know more about Bösendorfer pianos, history and manufacturing."

UCSF and Enloe Medical Center in Chico form cancer care partnership
Released jointly by UCSF and Enloe Medical Center
The UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center and Enloe Medical Center in Chico have joined forces, forming an affiliation of cancer programs to enhance patient care and improve access to top level medical experts.
The affiliation, which began this month, is aimed at increasing cancer disease prevention and expanding access to high-quality, specialty treatment for residents of the region served by the Enloe Regional Cancer Center's outpatient services, Enloe's inpatient oncology unit and Enloe Hospice.
"Enloe already participates in approximately 30 clinical trials, and the UCSF affiliation will take our clinical trial access to the next level,'' said Michael Baird, MD, executive director of the Enloe Regional Cancer Center.
UCSF is currently affiliated with three other cancer centers: Mercy Medical Center in Redding, St. Helena Hospital in St. Helena and Renown Institute for Cancer in Reno.
As is the case with the other regional hospitals, the affiliation provides Enloe's medical staff with current information on UCSF's clinical research trials and an expedited process for patients to be seen at UCSF and entered into trials. Another benefit will be joint tumor boards in which a multidisciplinary group of doctors will review and discuss, via videoconferencing, patient conditions and treatment options. Enloe and UCSF will also jointly develop annual educational sessions on cancer prevention and treatment for physicians, allied health professionals, cancer survivors and local individuals.
"Our new collaboration with Enloe reflects our mission to make high-level cancer care more broadly available throughout Northern California,'' said Peter R. Carroll, MD, MPH, director of clinical services and strategic planning at the UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center.
UCSF is a leading university dedicated to promoting health worldwide through advanced biomedical research, graduate-level education in the life sciences and health professions, and excellence in patient care. The UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center was designated as a Comprehensive Cancer Center by the National Cancer Institute in 1999 in recognition of the highest level of excellence in both its scientific research and its ability to integrate diverse research approaches to focus on the problem of cancer and improve patient outcomes.
Enloe Medical Center is a local, nonprofit health care organization. With affiliated medical staff, it provides a broad array of cancer treatment, including medical and surgical oncology, infusion therapy and radiation oncology.

Register now for our GamesBeat 2015 event, Oct. 12-Oct.13, where we'll explore strategies in the new world of gaming. Say goodbye to your weekend plans. Blizzard Entertainment is holding an open beta event for Diablo III this weekend, and everyone with a valid Battle.net account is welcome to join in the demon-stomping fun. Players will be able to log in starting today at 12:01 p.m. PST and play one of the game's five classes up to level 13. The beta will end on Monday, April 23 at 10:00 a.m. PST. The weekend event will be a stress test of the game and servers in anticipation of its May 15 release, Blizzard says. Those wanting to participate can start downloading the client on the Battle.net website. Unfortunately, Korean players will not be able to partake in the open beta due to "regional differences and features of the stress test client."

That event will begin the week of April 23.

WORCESTER, Mass.—Robin Milton has danced professionally around the world but experienced classical Chinese dance for the first time on Thursday, at Shen Yun Performing Arts.
Ms. Milton, who danced ballet and tap during her career, attended the Feb. 7 performance at the Hanover Theatre and said Shen Yun's artistry was exceptional.
"I appreciate the artistry—the cultural background, the costumes, the stage presentation," she said. "The dancing is superb, it's very elegant, very classy."
She said one of the most memorable aspects of the show was how the dancers expressed traditional Chinese culture through a collection of stories.
"The Chinese stories and the artistry, the dancing, the costumes I appreciate," she said, adding the choreography was outstanding.
"Absolutely beautiful, it's the first time I've seen something like this."
Ms. Milton decided to get tickets for the show as a birthday present for her son, and said it was a valuable learning experience for both of them.
"It's great exposure; it's awesome," she said. "It's teaching me a lot also, all of us."
New York-based Shen Yun is the world's premier classical Chinese dance and music company. According to the website, Shen Yun's mission is to revive 5,000 years of traditional Chinese culture through classical Chinese art forms.
Investor John Ahern and his wife Andrea were also in attendance for the Feb. 7 performance and were delighted by the experience.
"We love the show," said Mr. Ahern. "We saw it being advertised and decided that we needed to [come]. The colors and the precision of the performance—great."
"The dancers are so graceful," added Mrs. Ahern.
Mr. Ahern was impressed by Shen Yun's backdrops, which project English translations of the Chinese lyrics sung during vocal performances.
"I think it's a great idea to have the singers and the information on the background of the message that's trying to get across," he said.
According to the Shen Yun website, the lyrics are all original compositions that reflect values and beliefs inherent in traditional Chinese culture.
"Brimming with philosophical reflection about human life and deep layers of meaning, they traverse the boundaries of nation, race, and culture and have been fondly received and appreciated the world over," says the website.
Reporting by Jing Li, Hua Chang, and Justina Wheale.
New York-based Shen Yun Performing Arts has three touring companies that perform simultaneously around the world. For more information, visit ShenYunPerformingArts.org

Ginger Bistro describes its cuisine as "pioneering Asian fusion." It might be the first Asian fusion restaurant located inside an old Blockbuster video store, which I suppose would make it a pioneer of retail development. Its food, however, isn't what we mean by Asian fusion. Continue reading Ian Froeb's review of Ginger Bistro. Photos by Jennifer Silverberg.

Top message: Best Android phone for T-mobile by MR816
Replying to: Re: Best Android phone for T-mobile by deepc

Actually, I'm going to be building some aps soon myself and the platform that I intend to use will be the Samsung Vibrant which will be available in a few more days(releasing July 15).
It will be running a recent version of android and also has the 1 ghz snapdragon processer so it should be a nice platform for testing.
I also like the size and clarity of the screen as opposed to some of the other T-mo androids(cliq, mytouch, G1).
I hope this helps you.
Thank you for sharing!

Director Vijay Bhaskar was twice lucky with 'Victory' Venkatesh and he's all set to test his luck for the third time with Masala. For this film he stays in a safe zone by venturing into a 'photocopier' mode. He picks up the script of Bol Bachchan and presses 'CTRL + F' and then replaces Ajay Devgan and Abhishek Bachchan with Venky and Ram respectively. He also does the same for the supporting cast.
Though he does that effortlessly and aimlessly, he must be lauded for climbing up a few notches for creating a milieu of cheerfully cheesy jokes and a slaughterhouse of English language. In this process of overloading the film with masala staples, he's forgot the essentials of storytelling, building a believable character arc, constructing coherence and above all staying close to LOGIC.
Venkatesh plays an able-bodied-dumb-witted, Robinhood-esque village headman who loves to break bones and murder English. His gawky English one-liners sound like a series of college-ish gags strung together and they become tiresome after you cross a certain zone of tolerance. Ram plays Rahman, his alter ego, also called Ram and another alter ego, also called Rahman. Confused? It hardly matters.
As the film progresses, one cliché mount on the other and the director forcefully lands it in the 'comedy of errors' zone. At times you feel Masala finds some resemblance with Denikaina Ready and at times you feel, for heaven's sake, why an over-exposure to gay comedy. To match the lame story-telling and staggering stereotypes, the sequences are made loud and the performances overblown.
Venkatesh takes the meaty chunk of the pie with his comedy. He is ably supported by Ram and the latter with his ever flowing energy holds the pieces of the film together. 'Horrible sir Horrible' Jaya Prakash Reddy, with his antics, induces more laughter into the comic template. Kovai Sarala is a miscast in her role. There's nothing much to talk about Anjali and Shazahn Padamsee. They are just there to fill in the gaps in some emotional scenes and to dance for 'Same to same' Thaman's cringe-worthy tunes. The jarring background score accentuates the film's look-and-feel and qualifies it as 100 % nonstop nonsense. Wait; is it me, or everyone has heard something similar to that of Bodyguard.
Masala is a Vijay Bhaskar film which smoothly slides into S V Krishna Reddy territory and a dash of Priyadarshan comedies. The copy-paste elements are fine but the director's improvisations over the original are painful.The movie's title can be replaced with 'Mass-ala' for itscrowd-pleasing moments, gravity-defying stunts and flying-in-the-air vehicles that suck all the air of realism. Masala is an assortment of crude and genuine laughs, and an experiment to test if the same silly 'Telugufied English' jokes work with us. And it reiterates the fact that 'Repetition would not be considered cynical' in Tollywood. Mind it.

Buying a Brick Saw
Hello, I think I've come to the conclusion I may need to buy a Brick saw so I don't have to pick it up every time I want to rent it and knowing I'm slow on the brick cutting calcs for the transitions, floor, vent, etc., think I'm better off buying one and selling it after the build. What do I need to be able to do one build? I see many on Craigslist and Ebay, but which size is good and how many horsepower?
Re: Buying a Brick Saw
I bought the 10 inch wet Harbor Freight one and it has been great. I will have no trouble selling it on CL when I am all done
Re: Buying a Brick Saw
Hey Neil, I found a 14 inch Clipper that was rebuilt for $450 and think I'll be able to build the dome and all and resell it for close to that. Very happy I don't have to rush as I'd probably end up cutting my thumb off.
Re: Buying a Brick Saw
Depends on what you want. If you think there's a chance of using it beyond one build, invest in a decent saw..at the very least 1HP. If you are one and done, hf saw.
Re: Buying a Brick Saw
Take a look at the cutting jig I used
Re: Buying a Brick Saw
That is a very cool jig I will definitely be making.
Re: Buying a Brick Saw
I've purchased the Harbor Freight model and was able to sell it for what I paid for it.
Worked fine for me. Don't forget to use a 25 percent coupon.
Re: Buying a Brick Saw
I saw a 14 inch saw in Home Depot, it wasn't a wet saw but could def be used. It was 200$ and I'm sure the firebrick will eat it up but was wondering if it would get me through the project with a diamond blade... Or would the dust just be that unbearable?
Re: Buying a Brick Saw
I used a garden spray bottle as I cut the bricks and only used half the blade life
Re: Buying a Brick Saw
I would be going for a wet saw. There are usually plenty of good second hand ones about and if you buy right and sell right it will cost you very little. The extra capacity of a 14 inch saw with a decent motor is worth having and all things being considered it is hardly worth the run in with RSI, Emphysema and COPD.
It can be done with rudimentary tools but it is nice to use some decent gear particularly if it ends up costing you less than one day of hire.
You are on the wrong side of the ocean otherwise I would loan you mine.

Upgrading Magento
This is an old revision of the document!
220.127.116.11 to 184.108.40.206
Using SSH, go to the root directory of your Magento installation.
./pear install magento-core/Mage_All_Latest
./pear upgrade-all
Then log in to your admin section, and refresh all caches.
184.108.40.206 to 126.96.36.199
Note: If your products are not appearing in the catalog, you need to refresh the product index. With the Magento CE 1.4, there is a new option in the Inventory Configuration. Make sure that the Configuration > Inventory > Show Out of Stock items is set to "yes", if your store used to display Out of Stock items.
Follow the procedure as mentioned in http://www.webshopapps.com/blog/2010/02/upgrading-magento-to-version-1-4-keeping-it-simple/ for a safe and nice upgrade.
Ideally, you should install a fresh copy of Magento and point it to a clone of the 188.8.131.52 DB at the installation stage. This means, a lot of configuration in the system area will go back to defaults. You have to go into the configuration area and make sure they are reset to your old settings.
Upgrading Magento with a full package or via SVN
Herex are the steps for upgrading Magento with a full package or via SVN. Steps for upgrading with the MagentoConnect Manager are below.
- Backup your database
- - In Magento go to Admin, System → Tools → Backups
- - You can use PHPMyAdmin (but this may fail due to time-limits on php scripts)
- - You can export in SSH by typing...
- - mysqldump -u USER -p DBNAME > dump.sql
- - Reimport using mysql -u USER -p DBNAME < dump.sql
- Backup all the code you modified yourself, and don't forget to keep the original installation archive
- Take care of saving the media directory that contains all the uploaded product/category images
- Create a backup copy of app/etc/local.xml file
- Download a new installation archive or run SVN update if you checked it out from the Magento repository
- Extract and upload all the files it contains to your server
- Delete var/cache and var/session directories
- Point your browser to any Magento page
- Database upgrades should happen automatically
- You are done!
Upgrading Magento using the MagentoConnect Manager
- Go to http://<YOUR_SERVER>/downloader
- Log in using a user who has full permissions
- Make sure to select "Clear all sessions after successful install or upgrade"
How to upgrade from tarball installation
It is possible that you will see no extensions in MagentoConnect Manager. This means that you have just uploaded the files without using PEAR downloader. In that case enter
magento-core/Mage_All_Latest in the extension key field and click Install button. This will install all latest MagentoConnect core packages on top of existing files and will allow future upgrades through MagentoConnect.
Note: Make sure you installed the 'mcrypt' extension for PHP as magento-core requires this.
If, after the install has completed and you hit Refresh, you get a 500 error, and you get the same on your regular admin page and your storefront, you may need to change permissions on your .php files. SSH into your server, navigate to your Magento directory, and check the permissions on index.php. If may have been changed from 644 (rw-r-r) to 666 (rw-rw-rw) during the install. If so, you can issue this command to change the permissions on all your .php files to 644 (the -v switch will make it verbose, so you will see all the changes as they are made):
find -type f -name '*.php' -exec chmod -v 644 {} ;
(Please note there should be a backward slash before the final semi-colon but the wiki editor sometimes takes it out.)
Reload downloader/index.php to continue.
How to upgrade all available extensions
There should be at least one extension marked in yellow, which means a higher version is available on the MagentoConnect server
- Click 'Select all upgradable extensions'
- Click 'Commit changes'
- Watch the console progress for error messages
- After successfully upgrading click the 'Refresh' button that will appear under the console frame.
How to upgrade specific extensions
- For each desired extension upgrade choose 'Upgrade' in the dropdown
- To upgrade Magento Core modules choose the following packages, and all required dependencies will be upgraded automatically:
- magento-core/Interface_Adminhtml_Default
- magento-core/Interface_Frontend_Default
- magento-core/Interface_Install_Default
- magento-core/Mage_Core_Adminhtml
- magento-core/Mage_Core_Modules
How to upgrade MagentoConnect Manager
- MagentoConnect Manager is not installed as a PEAR package by default. If you wish to upgrade it, you will first need to install it as a PEAR package.
- Enter
magento-core/Mage_Downloaderin the Extension key input field and click Install.
- After it is installed the first time, you can upgrade it the same way as other extensions.
You can not uninstall MagentoConnect Manager
Using SSH shell access
You need to discuss the folder/file permissions here!!!
- To initialize the Magento PEAR command line registry, run the following command from the shell. Make sure you are in the Magento root folder:
./pear mage-setup .
- (make sure to include the second '.')
- select php version (unix):
MAGE_PEAR_PHP_BIN=/usr/local/bin/php; export MAGE_PEAR_PHP_BIN
- for 1and1.com hosting, to use PHP5:
MAGE_PEAR_PHP_BIN=/usr/local/bin/php5; export MAGE_PEAR_PHP_BIN
How to upgrade from tarball installation
If you have not used MagentoConnect or PEAR command line to install Magento, you will need to enter this command for initial PEAR installation of all Magento core modules:
./pear install magento-core/Mage_All_Latest
(You may have to upgrade pear extensions using the next step for this step to work).
How to upgrade all available extensions
./pear upgrade-all
How to upgrade specific extensions
./pear upgrade magento-core/Mage_Core_Modules magento-core/Mage_Core_Adminhtml
./pear upgrade magento-core/Interface_Adminhtml_Default magento-core/Interface_Frontend_Default magento-core/Interface_Install_Default
How to upgrade MagentoConnect Manager
- If MagentoConnect Manager is not installed as a PEAR package yet:
./pear install magento-core/Mage_Downloader
- After it is installed it will be upgraded just as any other extension.
How to upgrade using patch and .diff files in SSH
- Clear cache (from your magento root: rm -rf var/cache/*)
- Decompress 22.214.171.124-184.108.40.206 diff ball to your magento root
- Use the following patch command: patch -p0 -f < 188.8.131.52-126.96.36.199.diff
- Follow the Magento Upgrade Checklist - http://inchoo.net/ecommerce/magento/standard-procedure-to-upgrade-magento-to-the-newest-version/

Meet Carolyn Douglas, our founder and leader in all things intranet. Her commitment and passion to leading a collaborative team focused on simplicity with software and empathy with customers has led to the creation of business intranet software serving 1600 customers worldwide.
Carolyn's story is an unorthodox one. She got her start as an Intranet Manager for the District of North Vancouver. Starting out as an end-user, she built the District's Intranet to maximize on the "keep it simple" concept and created an intranet environment where all staff participated and were welcome to publish and contribute to the intranet.
Carolyn went on to create the Intranet Connections brand and launched our intranet software in September of 1999 as the first true out-of-the-box intranet experience.
Intranet Connections has consistently grown in revenue, profitability and customer acquisition. Carolyn's goal has always been to build a superior intranet software based on what the customer wants, trusts and expects. She has created a software company where usability trumps technology and her success has been achieved through the concepts of fostering empathy, leadership, and entrepreneurship among her team.
Carolyn lives in North Vancouver and shares her passion of intranets, culture and leadership with that of being a mom to her 9 year old son. Her self-proclaimed three things she cannot live without: integrity, simplicity and flip-flops.
Carolyn's Top Blog Posts:
Intranet Connections: A Company with Values
Our team is full of creative souls who strive to work towards making an impact. Our software company lives and breathes the following core values, infusing them into our day-to-day and in how we build relationships with our customers and design and develop our intranet software:
In September of 1999 the core concept that drove the business and creation of our Intranet Connections software was KISS. The core value of simplicity still drives everything we do today. As our company and customer base grows, the concept of KISS has evolved into a more customer-centric version where continually ask how do we "make life simpler" for our customers.
How the business intranet makes an employee feel and how they interact with the software, that is very important to us. We build for innovation, creative interfaces, making it simple. Our development is agile and we design interfaces first for maximium ease of use, then build functionality to support those interfaces. It is a very creative process.
The relationships we build with our customers and the connections we make is what sets us apart. Hence our name of Intranet Connections. It's not just about selling software – you can't make an impact with just technology. We put ourselves in our customers shoes constantly in just about every facet of decision making. It is why when you read our customer testimonials every single one speaks to the level of support and customer service we provide. We truly listen to our customers. They drive our business.
At the end of the day, we have survived so many years in our market because of our continued product innovation, integrity and authenticity. We believe this shines through when you connect with us and become part of our Intranet Connections family. We have strong intranet champions and advocates of our software, and we are very proud that we have customers who have been with us for over a decade, still going strong!

Meatless Monday: Khorasan Wheat Salad with Cauliflower and Olives
Courtesy of Grain Mains: 101 Surprising and Satisfying Whole Grain Recipes for Every Meal of the Day
Khorasan wheat is the new grain on the block. Originating in areas like Mesopotamia and Egypt, khorasan is an ancient wheat with a naturally sweet and nutty taste that can be used in a variety of dishes. This smooth-textured grain is high in protein and minerals—such as selenium, zinc, and magnesium—making it a great energy-boosting food.
Get a taste of this old-school grain with the following salad recipe from Grain Mains: 101 Surprising and Satisfying Whole Grain Recipes for Every Meal of the Day (Rodale). Bonus: The KAMUT brand khorasan wheat used in the dish is certified non-GMO and organic.
KAMUT Khorasan Wheat Salad with Cauliflower, Olives and Raisins
1 cup KAMUT khorasan wheat
1⁄4 cup almond oil
1 medium shallot, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
2 garlic cloves, minced
6 cups small cauliflower florets
4 ounces pitted green olives, sliced (about 1 cup)
3⁄4 cup golden raisins
1⁄2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
1⁄2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1⁄2 cup dry white wine or dry vermouth
1. Soak the KAMUT khorasan wheat in a big bowl of cool water for at least 8 hours. But no more than 16 hours. Drain in a fine-mesh sieve or a small-holed colander in the sink. Pour the grains into a large saucepan, cover with water by several inches, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until tender, about 1 hour. Drain again in that sieve or colander, then run under cool water until the grains are at room temperature. Drain thoroughly.
2. Heat a large pot or a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the oil, then the shallot, ginger, and garlic. Cook, stirring almost constantly, until the shallot softens, about 1 minute.
3. Dump in the cauliflower florets. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until they begin to soften and lightly brown at the edges, about 5 minutes.
4. Stir in the olives, raisins, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Stir over the heat until very fragrant, a minute or so. Then pour in the wine or vermouth and bring to a full simmer. Bubble for 2 minutes to steam the vegetables a bit and to reduce the wine or vermouth until it's the consistency of a dressing. Place the contents of the pot into a large bowl. Stir in the cooked KAMUT khorasan wheat.

"Crossing Brooklyn Ferry" (Posted July 16, 2000)
© Copyright 2000 by Anon. (FS)
This story may not be sold and may be archived at public sites only with direct permission from the author. Any archive must carry this entire copyright statement.
I have done what I thought I'd never do .... I've written an Uber piece. Therefore, most of the text is original, with original characters and original backstory. However, a portion of the text (mostly anything that is offset in italics and sounds really really deep and poetic) does not belong to me but to a great American writer by the name of Walt Whitman. (He sounds mildly familiar, yes?) These rather haphazard selections come from Whitman's Leaves of Grass (1891-92 version), especially from the sections Crossing Brooklyn Ferry and Song of Myself. (For those of you who are curious about which selections belong to what parts of Leaves, e-mail me and I'll let you know.) However, this is also what I consider an "Uber" story; therefore, I'm indebted to the wonderful creators of Xena : Warrior Princess for the existence of two characters that are truly inspirational to me, whether in my "normal" fiction or in my "fanfiction."
New York, New York factor : Much to my regret, I have never been to NYC. Therefore, all my information on the Brooklyn Ferry came from my research instead from real experience. I've never ridden the ferry, though I hope to, someday. For all you native New Yorkers, please ignore all the inconsistencies; I am but a poor small town dweller.
Ick factor : While not explicit, this story does contain certain serious themes that may be disturbing to some people. This is not a children's story, nor is it one of my more lighthearted attempts at writing. If you are sensitive to stories that suggest violence or violent acts (and I don't mean just the simple spilling of blood and guts), please skip this story. Although, yes, I agree that this warning is not very enlightening to just what the story contains, any further disclaimer may ruin the story itself. PLEASE TAKE THIS WARNING SERIOUSLY ANYWAY! Thank you.
Yay factor : A third of the credit for this story (including all the best parts) belongs to Rebekah, seeing that she stayed up for more than six hours (!!!) helping me edit and mash out this piece (roughly an hour a page) and for her help with the "naked vs. nude" question. Heh heh heh! Honestly, you would not be seeing this piece if it was not for her help and insistence. Another kudos goes to Imbri, who refuses to tell me to stop sending her stuff through the e-mail, even after *years* of being bombarded constantly with awful stories. Yes, I've put a restraining order on my muse. At least there's one consolation .... I've gotten ONE story posted for public condemnation, and it's not even the end of the year! Who knows ... I might eventually get around to writing the other "I thought I would never write this kind of stuff" piece I've been fending my muse off of .... *BEG* By the way, both Imbri and Rebekah are two excellent bards with somewhat benign muses ... go pester them to write and post!!
Dedication: To Dr. R. F. and Dr. B for trying to drill the basics of American Literature in me, way back when. Too bad it didn't take! To J&J and the rat pack, for being the usual pinheads. And for David and for all of those upon whom the dark patches have fallen ... we'll knit the old knot of contrariety together.
Webmaster Barbara here. I've kept the Cave of Choirs online in tribute to my friend, Rebekah. I would like to ask some help from her fans. I am unemployed and it is difficult to pay the hosting bills. If you can donate, it would be appreciated greatly. Thank you.
Crossing Brooklyn Ferry
by Anon. (FS)
To her eternal gratification, the deck did not sway much. If she closed her eyes, she could feel a gentle bobbing motion, but for the most part, her position against the deck railing remained steady. She only wished the situation could stay that way. She never liked boats (or ferries, for that matter). The deck bobbed again, and her stomach curled in on itself, causing her to curse softly. Damn! What did she expect from such a trip, besides her stomach rebelling against her body? As it was, all of her being was engaged in a civil war already, each organ pitting itself against the other, hand against heart, heart against mind. She took a deep breath, closing her eyes. In her left hand, the pages of Leaves of Grass ruffled slightly.
People eddied around her, creating murmuring swirls and occasional bumps against her sides. With each brush, her muscles twitched, but each stranger soon disappeared down to seats and to situations beyond her view, leaving her alone and unscathed on the deck. She never looked up to see their faces.
The wind increased, and she wrinkled her nose, pulling her arms closer into herself. The scent in the air seemed almost metallic, like an incandescent bulb about to burn out. Below her, the water threw up fragments of light, the scattered remains of the little light that had broken through the clouds. She studied the glittering bits, searching, but she could not find her own reflection in the water. It troubled her, somehow. She bent even further over the rail, wondering how far out she would have to lean before she could see her face, could meet her reflection in the water, and break through.
"Careful there! You don't wanna fall over." A voice spoke out, plain words without a face, but with a grip on her shoulder that was inflexible. "First time on the ferry, huh? It can get quite slippery up here."
Gaze still tracing the water, she nodded, clutching her coat tight against her back. She stepped away from the railing and away from the grip on her shoulder. The wind had gotten colder. She felt bare against its grasp. As her left hand tightened against the book, she noticed, yet again, the white band of skin that decorated the fourth finger, stark against the golden tan of her hand. Naked.
"Why don't you go sit inside the covered deck? The ferry will head off in a minute and it'll only get colder out here. Looks like rain, too."
"No, I'm fine out here." The bits of sun had disappeared; the water had drowned them all. She swallowed, nearly dropping the book.
"Easy there. Are you all right?" The hand landed on her shoulder again. Covering.
This time, the book really did tumble from her fingers, covers flapping toward freedom, pages rustling in a frenzied flurry to be away. It thudded loudly against the deck, pages crumpling and covers outspread, words exposed to the world. She gave a small yelp at this abandonment. Then ... long, elegant fingers reached out, smoothed the covers gently, and handed the book back to her. She stared at the rumpled pages, then looked up.
Flood-tide below me, I see you face to face!***
She ran her fingers along the lines of the text, reading without really seeing the words. Closing the book, she pressed it flat, grateful that the pages had not been damaged too badly by the accident. The voice said something more to her, but she did not mark the individual words. It didn't seem important, anyway. The warm hands and gentle touch spoke louder than any syllable, steering her out of the cold.
She found herself guided to a seat, then the speaker left, disappearing somewhere in a trail of words. She still remembered the feel of those fingers around her wrist, and her other hand rubbed the spot aimlessly. The boat was now in motion, and yet, it barely seemed to move. Her stomach roiled again, as if remembering its previous battle against her. Without hesitation, the rest of her body joined the fray, bringing in past revolts with a sudden slap of recollection. Her ears remembered words that her mouth denied entrance to. Her eyes remembered the craving that her lips denied giving. Her arms remembered deflecting what her soul remembered being forced into. And her entire body remembered the pain that exploded it all.
She licked her lips, tasting the salt there. Was it the aftertaste of tears? Or something else? She didn't know, couldn't guess. The seats beside her were empty; somehow, the stranger had known to choose a place away from prying eyes. Outside, rain sparked against the windows, landing in stars of crystal brilliance before bleeding silver down. She had danced in the rain once, felt drop after drop across her skin, and each touch sung a part of her body alive. Today was chill, though, and the wind unforgiving. Under these conditions, the touch of water was numbing and deadly. She remembered leaning over the rail, watching the waiting waves below. She tried to return her gaze back to book. Flipping it open randomly, she concentrated again.
Depriving me of my best, as for a purpose,***
The words were meant to be taken
one way, but out of context, she saw another. Felt another.
Darkness wrapped around her, held barely at bay by the glowing computer screen. She had been working late, trying to sort through an insurmountable pile of things to do, things that had been done, and things that should have been done. Her life, outlined in stacks of sheets and deadlines and etched in the shadow around her eyes from the late nights and early mornings. At times, she wished she could move beyond the words and sheets, to the action and adventure she knew had to lay beyond ... to do something, anything ... to make her own words instead of having the words of others define her ... to be somehow real, instead of having only a reflection in the mirror to prove that she existed.
The office door opened. The sound of footsteps echoed loud against her sudden stillness. She recalled shivering, though it had not been cold.
"I saw how you've been dressing lately. And how you've been looking at me."
Her mouth was dry. The floor shifted, and she was not all together sure if it was due to the waves against the ferry. Still, the wind had picked up. She felt herself shaking, as if feeling its grip.She remembered nothing beyond that, except for a distant crashing sound, much like a mirror shattering, and the image of papers being knocked off her desk, sheets fluttering away like doves and landing crumpled and dying on the floor.
You villain touch! what are you doing? My breath is too tight in its throat!"Hey! Hey ... whoa there," the voice came again. "I didn't know Whitman was such heavy reading."
The fingers took the book from her hands and shifted a warm cup of ... something... in its place. She held it blankly, staring at the rising steam.
"By the way, I think you missed your stop. You came on at the Army Terminal right? We're on our way back there now."
"I did?" She blinked. Destinations did not seem so important. She had not boarded to go somewhere concrete, after all.
"Let me guess ... you took the ride because of a certain poem in this, right?" The hands tapped the still-open book carelessly. "Crossing Brooklyn Ferry, if I'm not mistaken. It's one of my favorites as well." The voice chuckled, a sound that pounced in on itself, rolling about joyfully, a sound that danced, ruffling waves and shifting sunlight.
She took a chance. Blue, the color of sun-held water, met and held her gaze. She shyly took in the smiling face, its strong lines edged with elegance. Her eyes skirted over the long black hair, lingering slightly as memory stirred, shaking off droplets from the current of time. She remembered how the wind had held the ebony strands when they both stood against the railing. Remembered the soft touch that drew her away to sit, sheltered, away from the storm. Remembered ...
What is it between us?She blanched, and her hands moved and jostled the cup in them. The liquid nearly splashed over the rim. "I missed my stop?"
"Careful with that cup. Yeah, the last announcement came on five minutes back ...you must not have heard it. Don't worry. You haven't missed anything ...this route goes in a circle. If you have time, you can wait ... we'll make the stop again, and you'll get it right this time."
"But the fare ... the crew ..."
"I work here. It'll be okay," the voice reassured. "By the way, I'm Gabrielle. Gabrielle Polis."
The name tag told the same story, except with an "A" stuck in between and a "Cpt." in the front. Cpt. Gabrielle A. Polis. A captain? Briefly, she wondered what the "A" could stand for.
"So, what do people know you by?" The voice came again, a gentle prodding sound. She heard the rhythm of the tides in that voice, and like the ebbing tide, it pulled her forward, out into the open sea and sky.
"I'm Serene." She did not add anymore to her name, for that one word held enough irony to build a warship.
"Nice to meet you, Serene. So, Whitman's brought you out here, eh?"
She blinked. Whitman? Swallowing, she managed a half shrug. "I ... don't want to take you from your duties ..."
"Nah, my shift is over, and the ship's not too full, anyway. Just call me a fellow Whitman lover who's curious." The woman tilted her head, and her voice deepened. "Tell me, beyond Whitman, what brings you to New York and to my ferry?"
"I..." The liquid leapt over the lip of the cup, and she bit her lip against the pain, burying it deep inside herself.
Immediately, hands enfolded hers with napkins, soaking up the excess, before prying at the cup, which she had not let go of, not even when the hot liquid had hit.
"Ouch. That looks bad. Let me get you some burn cream. We have a first aid kit under the bar ..."
"It's fine."
"It must hurt."
"I'm used to it, by now." The hands sopping up the liquid stopped.
For a time, white noise and conversations held elsewhere filled the space between them.
"Are you sure you're all right?" Fingers enfolded her chin, lifting it up, forcing her to look at the other woman face to face. "Really all right?"
"It doesn't hurt."
"That's not what I meant. What are you doing here, Serene?"
"I came ... to finish up some business." Words came and fell out of her mouth. She blinked, reaching for the book and its bound words. There was safety in firm, unchangeable text. However, her mouth still refused to close. "I just took this ferry to ... Whitman's always been a soothing force, you know?"
Unbuttoning my clothes, holding me by my bare waist ....
She bit her lip hard, and nearly gagged at the salty tang that flooded her mouth. The pages trembled as her hands shook and each tremor threatened to tear the offending lines out. A hand reached out, and the fingers stopped their shaking.Bare skin, white, uncovered. The taste of metallic salt, liquid against her lips. And the touch, the pain ...
"My husband and I ... we're finalizing our divorce ..."
Blind loving wrestling touch, sheath'd hooded sharp-toothed touch!"Something happened ... and he didn't believe ... I had fought back ...he didn't ... they didn't..."
They all come to the head-land, to witness and assist against me."It's finished now. And I came here, away from ... that. But I was so alone." She clutched the book tighter and was surprised to find that the other woman's fingers were still upon her hands, stroking gently. "I remembered Whitman, his poem on the Brooklyn Ferry. It's almost as if he was with me, in soul, in spirit. I didn't want to be alone when ... but there was no one else. No one real." Disjointed, her words seemed to hit the ground, fluttering, dying. Damn Whitman. "Silly, huh? The kind of stuff he talks about ... connecting beyond time and words ... it doesn't exist. He's not even really helping ... I keep reading his words wrong."
"No, it's not silly at all ... you're not alone, Serene."
The rain bled silver against the panes of glass. She watched the drops, wondering. Water was eternal, cycling from seas to sky to earth again and again. Such a great leap. Such a great fall.
And still, those eyes, the color
of sky after rain, waited for her. She could almost see her reflection
in those eyes and she felt the tiny, velvet movements of the other woman's
fingers on her own.
Is this then a touch? quivering me to a new identity ...Such a great leap ... such a great fall. But for a chance at being sky born once again ...
my face?
Which fuses me into you now, and pours my meaning into you?
In answer, the hands took the book away from her. She heard the rustling of pages, and then Whitman was set back down before her. The fingers traced a passage in the text, guiding her eyes to the words, before touching her lightly on the shoulder.
It is not upon you alone that the dark patches fall,As she finished reading the words, she realized she wasn't just hearing them in her mind. She looked up, startled, and found that the other woman had spoken the passage aloud from memory, giving each sentence a vibrancy that had been lost from her own, inner voice.
"You're not alone in this, Serene ... you're not alone."
A tinkling chime sounded, and the PA system came on, announcing the terminal. Her eyes widened as the captain of the Brooklyn Ferry stood up, stretching for the ceiling in a luxurious, unfurling motion. So tall! The woman seemed to be without end or beginning, an eternity sculpted into fleeting flesh. For some reason, her memory evoked the scent of honeysuckles, chilled with the morning dew, beautiful only in the brief moments before the rising sun ... but forever linked with the coming of spring, year after year, permanent in its transient existence.
She shook her head slightly. Just where did these strange, quicksilver thoughts come from? It was almost as bad as the moment by the railing, looking down at the water. The breath-stealing feeling of falling engulfed her and she braced herself for the impact, wondering if the water would be sparkling with the brilliance of broken sunlight or whitecapped by wind and ice. However, again came the gentle grip on her shoulder, as firm as it was when she was bent over the railing. It pulled her upwards.
"Come on, my shift is over. You look like you could use something warm in you. If you're willing to get off where you started, why don't we go to this little place I know. Just to talk. Whitman lover to Whitman lover."
"I..." Total madness, to go off with a person she did not know. But then again, she did not have any other place to go. And insanity knew her name already. Knew it intimately, and called in tones passionate and beckoning. It would not be the first time she did things less than sane.
I consider'd long and seriously of you before you were born ..."Y-yes, that would be nice."
"Then let's make sure you'll get off at the right stop this time."
With a patient, unrelenting tug, Cpt. Gabrielle A. Polis led her off the Brooklyn Ferry, to the steady ground and to the rain beyond. It wasn't until she had been guided across the street that she remembered. Forgotten on the ferry, pages still open, was the book. A long, fluting whistle drifted in the misty rain, announcing the departure of the Brooklyn Ferry. Too late, too late, the piping notes caroled. She smiled anyway. Time didn't matter; the book didn't matter. She already knew the words.

The view from the floor
Ted and Collin made astute observations about Barack Obama's acceptance speech and the benediction tonight.
I'm honestly wiped out.
Invesco Field was packed with Obama supporters, stomping their feet and yelling the "Yes we can" slogan.
It felt like a football game, thanks to long lines for drinks and the fallen nachos crunching under my feet.
The fireworks set to cheesy music were pretty grand, but then finding my way out and getting around Denver has been a little nightmarish this entire week.
Here are a few photos to give you a better picture of tonight's event. If you look very, very closely at the second one, that's Barack Obama.
During 'the traditional values' portion of Obama's speech, the crowd seemed to get the most excited about his last part about same-sex marriage.
"We may not agree on abortion, but surely we can agree on reducing the number of unwanted pregnancies in this country. The reality of gun ownership may be different for hunters in rural Ohio than for those plagued by gang-violence in Cleveland, but don't tell me we can't uphold the Second Amendment while keeping AK-47s out of the hands of criminals. I know there are differences on same-sex marriage, but surely we can agree that our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters deserve to visit the person they love in the hospital and to live lives free of discrimination."

News of Riverton, Lander and Fremont County, Wyoming, from the Ranger's award winning journalists.
Coroner IDs victim in Sunday's fatal stabbing
Jun 13, 2013 - From staff reports
One person reportedly is in custody in connection with the death.
Fremont County Coroner Ed McAuslan confirmed Thursday that the victim of a possible homicide Sunday on the Wind River Indian Reservation was Dwight Spoonhunter Sr., 28, of Arapahoe.
Spoonhunter's obituary states he died Sunday at Riverton Memorial Hospital. One person reportedly is in custody in connection with his death, but officials had no more information to release on Thursday.
Emergency medical personnel responded at about 7:40 a.m. Sunday to reports of a stabbing at an address that was redacted from law enforcement reports. The victim reportedly had been stabbed multiple times; he was transported to Riverton Memorial Hospital, where he died.
Officials said his body was sent to Loveland, Colo., on Monday for autopsy, but McAuslan said he didn't have any results to release from that procedure.
At about 1:10 p.m. Sunday, the Wind River Police Department requested help from the Fremont County Sheriff's Office in locating the "girlfriend of the homicide victim" on Snowberry Lane north of Riverton. According to reports, the WRPD was trying to gain entry to a residence there and thought the woman possibly had been assaulted as well.

For years an oil company has been planning to drill in one of Africa's key national parks. Now conservation and heritage organisations are joining forces in a bid to stop them.
In the aftermath of a brutal civil war, a majestic natural landscape teeming with exotic wildlife is being threatened by a British company that wants to drill into its heart – with the blessing of a compliant government that has granted the company permission to explore. At the same time, a prominent wildlife warden has been shot and left for dead, and opponents of drilling threatened through anonymous phone calls.
This is the story of the Virunga National Park, a World Heritage site that is the jewel in Africa's biodiversity crown.
With an oil company determined to explore in the park, a major report from UNESCO, the International Union for Conservation of Nature and the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands is calling for its drilling permits to be revoked.
Heart of Africa
Virunga covers 790,000 hectares in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and is linked to other protected areas in neighbouring Uganda and Rwanda (see map). UNESCO calls it "the top African National Park for biological diversity", and says its habitats – ranging from icy mountaintops to swamps, savannahs and forests – "surpass those of any other African park". Virunga also hosts Africa's two most active volcanoes.
Gallery: "Six natural treasures of Africa's Virunga park"
Since 2006 the DRC has issued permits for oil companies to prospect in the park. One permit has been taken up by London-based SOCO International. Since late April, SOCO has been conducting seismic tests in Lake Edward, a centrepiece of the park that seems to be sitting on a significant oil reserve.
The seismic tests are unlikely to disrupt wildlife around the lake – an important aquatic corridor for wildlife – but full-blown drilling for oil could cause havoc.
The WWF says oil leaks, flares, spills and sabotage could contaminate the lake and surrounding land. "That would impact the 50,000 families that live around the lake," says WWF's Alona Rivord. "Their biggest concern is contamination of the fish stock on which they depend."
The lake is listed as a wetland of international importance and is home to many species, including 6000 hippos – down from the 30,000 that lived there in 1960. It also feeds into the Nile, so Rivord says contamination would pose a wider threat. Virunga is also home to one-third of the world's critically endangered mountain gorillas. Fortunately, the gorillas are too far from the lake to be disturbed by SOCO's activities.
"The reason we've taken a strong stand is not because of the direct impacts of the exploration, but because exploration shows the very clear intention to exploit," says report co-author Guy Debonnet of UNESCO in Paris. He says countries that host World Heritage sites have committed to preserve them in perpetuity, and exploitation violates that.
Continuing violence
Tension has been building in the DRC over the past month. On 15 April Virunga's chief warden, Emmanuel de Merode, was shot in an ambush. He is currently recovering in a Nairobi hospital.
This week, WWF reported that unidentified callers had menaced two of its employees in the DRC capital of Goma over their opposition to drilling in Virunga. The callers said they "had missed killing de Merode, but would not miss WWF's employee".
"It's been happening to anti-drilling activists for years, but it's the first time it's happened to WWF employees," says Rivord. "We've filed a report to the Goma prosecutor's office. We take it very seriously, especially after what happened to Emmanuel."
SOCO has condemned the attack on de Merode and the threats to WWF. The company told New Scientist it "does not condone… threats or intimidation of any kind".
The new report, compiled by a team that visited Virunga in March, calls on SOCO to halt its activities on Lake Edward, including the seismic monitoring.
It also demands that SOCO adopt a pledge to avoid exploration and drilling on all World Heritage sites. In 2003, Shell and the International Council on Mining and Metals – which represents over 50 mining and drilling organisations including Rio Tinto and De Beers – promised never to exploit such sites. Since then a growing number of companies have signed this pledge. Last year, the French company Total signed up and abandoned plans to drill in the north of Virunga.
For now SOCO simply says its activities in Virunga are legal and sanctioned by presidential decree.
Cancel the permits
In the long run, UNESCO says the only solution is for the DRC to annul the oil permits in Virunga. "Even if SOCO withdrew, another company could take advantage if the permits remain," says Debonnet.
The World Heritage Committee has repeatedly asked the DRC's government to annul the permits, and the new report repeats that request. "The responsibility is with the government," says Debonnet. "It's the government that commits to conserve the site."

After bowling the hosts out for just 142, Wokingham appeared to be favourites for victory, only to then be dismissed for 126.
It was a disappointing end to an otherwise highly successful season for the Oaks, who ended the summer 36 points behind champions Reading.
And there was yet more reason to celebrate at Sadler's End on Saturday as Wokingham 2nds clinched promotion to Division Two with a 35-run win over Wooburn Narkovians.
Needing a victory to pip the Buckinghamshire side to second spot in Division 3b, Wokingham made 218-9 batting first, with Simon Myles (69) and Shashank Iyer (43) sharing a pivotal stand of 101 for the third wicket.
Myles then chipped in with five wickets to help bowl Wooburn out for 183 and seal a second-place finish for Wokingham.
Elsewhere, Finchampstead ended their Division One campaign on a winning note, beating Basingstoke & North Hants by three wickets.
Chasing 213 for victory, Finch were again led by skipper Matt Jones, who top scored with 52 to see his side home.
Finchampstead 2nds were unable to avoid relegation from Division 2a as they lost to runners-up Eversley by four wickets.
Chris Last took 6-48 to help restrict Finch to 185 and Scott Dyer's half-century edged Eversley to victory.
Royal Ascot lost their final match against Gerrards Cross 2nds but comfortably finished mid table in Division 3a.
Elsewhere, there were celebrations for Royal Ascot 2nds who won promotion from Division 6a after their 139-run win over Tring Park 3rds.
Bracknell finished safely in mid-table in Division 4b after drawing their final game of the season with Cove 2nds.
Cove made 235 batting first and Ali Asghar then top scored with 83 as Bracknell closed on 175-7.

Didn't finish all your takeout? Have a few fruits and vegetables lying around? That chocolate in the back of your cupboard getting dustier every day? You're not alone. Millions of Americans suffer from this comestible-related malaise. The American solution seems to be to throw food away. We're one of the most wasteful nations in the world! Fortunately, the French have a fix for us.
Ceci n'est pas un crepe.
No, but it's a crepe. Now, I probably know what you're thinking, "Wah-wah-wah, I can't do this. Life is so hard. Didn't Obama promise we wouldn't have to cook for ourselves anymore?" Well, he didn't, and you do.
Getting a crepe batter ready is the perfect thing to do right before you go to bed. The best crepe batters are the ones that have had a chance to sit for at least an hour (at most 24 hours) in the refrigerator before heating. Why? Because your batter becomes more flavorful and less fragile. They just become so much easier to cook with the longer you let that batter settle. Hence, evening of.
Foolproof Crepes
You Will Need:
Frying pan, shallow, of desired crepe-size.
1 cup milk*
4 large eggs
5/6th cup flour (a scant cup)
*So let's chat for a second. Imagine your crepe and what you want to fill it with when you're done cooking. Are you going for a savory crepe, with maybe some sausage, and some green veggies? If so, substitute either some or all of that milk for some chicken broth/stock, or whatever stock/broth you like depending on what you have lying around. Be sure to add some salt, too. Are you going for a sweet crepe? Then you may want to consider substituting some or all of the milk for orange juice, or whichever juice you like depending on what you're filling is. Be sure to add a tablespoon of sugar and a teaspoon of vanilla extract, too. The liquid is the real chance to experiment with different flavorings. Do what feels right! Crepes are super forgiving, and everything you do (within reason!!) will be a success.
Now check out how easy this is.
1. Combine milk, eggs, flour in a mixing bowl.
2. Go to sleep.
3. Wake up and get cooking.
Here comes the heating part of the recipe. Dab some oil on a paper towel and rub against the pan, coating it ever so slightly. Heat it on medium high heat until it's nice and hot, let's say a minute and fifteen seconds.
Then add the crepe until it's just thinly covering the pan. After a minute, or whenever it's ready to be flipped, flip it. Cook it another minute.
Tada! A crepe! Repeat until you're done with all your batter.
Some ideas for what to fill those bad boys with:
1. Scrambled eggs, ham, cheese, chives, dill. (Milk as your liquid)
2. Cold leftover chicken, strawberries, arugula. (Half orange juice, half milk as your liquid)
3. Melted chocolate, marshmallow fluff, crushed graham crackers. (Milk as your liquid)
4. Motherfuckin Nutella! (Milk as your liquid)
5. (My personal favorite) Take some granny smith apples, slice em up, fry in a pan with unsalted butter, brown sugar, honey, mint, and (if you're feeling sinister) a splash of whatever dessert wine you have lying around. Wait till they're soft. Put 'em in your crepe and top with vanilla ice cream. Voila, Un Crepe Anthony.
Experiment, experiment, experiment. Be bold and brave and things will go your way.
Bon appetit!

God I love crepes. Maybe I'll try making them... though that may result in explosions, fires, and escalating death tolls.ReplyDelete
You should! It's seriously easy if you give the batter some time.ReplyDelete
You are destroying my diet, one post at a time.ReplyDelete
NUTELLA, dear lord. Though, crepes a la Anthony sound pretty damn delicious. I'm off to destroy the kitchen now.ReplyDelete

Soldiers deployed in Hurungwe, Mashonaland West province, are reportedly campaigning for ZANU PF by forcing villagers to divulge their political affiliations and threatening to evict them from the area if they refuse.
But a local activist told SW Radio Africa the majority of the soldiers are recent graduates from the youth militia training camps in Hwange, who have returned to live among the villagers in order to monitor opposition activity.
A report by the Crisis Coalition said Chief Ephraim Matawo is working under instructions from the soldiers to compile a list of villagers in his area, which also includes the political party they support. The information is turned over to the military.
Crisis said despite the intimidation, three villagers from Zvipani in Hurungwe West reportedly refused to give up their personal details, insisting that the party they support is their secret and questioning why the information was to be handed over to the military.
The three brave villagers, named as Simbarashe Mbareta, Josphat Muringapasi and Tawanda Mavhondo, were summoned by Chief Matawo and forced to pay a $25 fine. They were also threatened with eviction from Zvipani village.
A local activist from Makonde told SW Radio Africa that the villagers know these soldiers are not part of the mainstream army. They are local youths who dropped out of school earlier this year and were recruited into ZANU-PF's youth militia training programmes.
"Before they were recruited chiefs were involved in the exercise. They had to identify the recruits and most came from Matawo and Makonde areas. They went for training in Hwange and what we feared at the beginning is happening now. They graduated from 6 months training and returned to live among the villagers," our source explained.
The activist, who chose not to be identified, said it is not clear whether these youth militia are part of the main army, but they are referred to as soldiers.
He added: "They were not given a formal place to camp. They live with their parents and guardians, so that they can hear what everyone is saying and minimise opposition activities."
This confirms reports by the Crisis team, who said that villagers fear the exercise is a ZANU-PF strategy to identify MDC-T supporters to be victimised by the army and youth militia.
Crisis said soldiers are also campaigning for ZANU PF in Masvingo and Manicaland provinces. Traditional chiefs in Nyanga North and South were recently visited by soldiers from the 3 Brigade in Mutare, for so-called "orientation programmes. In Bikita traditional leaders were allegedly ordered to attend meetings at the army headquarters.
There are real concerns that ZANU-PF is mobilising army units in order to duplicate the violent mayhem that was attributed to the military in the run-up to the 2008 presidential runoff. ZANU PF supporters and officials, army officers, war vets and youth militia, went on a violence spree that left over 500 MDC-T supporters dead, tens of thousands injured and half a million displaced.

Eneda Toska ('09 U, Biology), recently contacted Dr. Brian Witz to update him on her adventures after graduating from Nazareth College.
After graduation, Eneda was off to the University at Buffalo where she graduated with a M.S. in Molecular, Cellular and Cancer Biology. She then stayed at the University at Buffalo for a PhD in Molecular, Cellular and Cancer Biology. She will defend her thesis late November 2013 and will then be off to New York City to begin a post doc at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.
Eneda's research has been published in Oncogene and Cell Reports. Links to these publications are below:

"Sleeping with the leader does not mean having the exclusive right to him." This may sound like a line from a soap opera, but in fact, these were the words of Soviet leader Joseph Stalin. But who where they addressed to?
On this day in 1922, Joseph Stalin had a phone conversation with Nadezhda Krupskaya, the wife of Vladimir Lenin, and insulted her with a series of extremely rude comments.
Krupskaya was already an ageing, unattractive woman, while Lenin's popularity with women was common knowledge. So Stalin once jokingly suggested to Krupskaya to abstain from her excessive political work and to focus on mending her family life instead.
To make things worse for Krupskaya, upon hearing about the story, Lenin himself couldn't but laugh.
The outraged Krupskaya thereafter became Stalin's enemy, and she did her best to hold back his political advancement. This is just a part of the story, and you can read more on our Russia Now section.
It bears the name of an epic Russian hero and its first flight was the start of Russian long-haul aviation. The Biplane bomber "Ilya Muromets" soared to the skies on this day in 1913.
It was one of the world's best fighter jets at that time, having its own machinegun and even a cannon.
During World War I, a group of these bombers joined Russia's air force and conducted more than 400 flights.
Today, December 23 is celebrated as the day of Russian long-haul aviation forces.
Lavrentiy Beriya, the right hand of Stalin, was prosecuted on this day in 1953.
Beriya was the chief of security and secret police and by the end of the Great Purge became the head of NKVD, the organization directly responsible for political repression in Stalin era.
He even carried out a purge of NKVD itself and, some believe, poisoned Stalin. After Stalin's death Beriya gained even more power, but soon fell out with his political rivals, who ordered his arrest and execution.
