A section of the civil society under the banner Kenyans for Peace, Truth and Justice has opposed a request by the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC) that it be granted three months to complete its mandate.
Constitution and Reform Education Consortium (CRE-CO) Executive Director Kawive Wambua told a press conference on Saturday that TJRC lacks credibility and support from Kenyans and such an extension will be a waste of public funds.
"The commission has been in wrangles since the beginning. Some commissioners are saying that the report is ready, we wonder why they should they seek for their time to be extended, what are they hiding?" Wambua posed.
"The Ethics and Anti-Corruption should find out on how the commission has used its funds."
They urged the Bethuel Kiplagat led commission to fast track their report as it would be a vessel to vet political aspirants during the forthcoming General Elections.
"When we will be vetting the aspiring leaders we want to use the TJRC report as a tool for reference. The report has information on people whom we wouldn't want to elect and so we urge that the report be released as soon as possible," he asserted.
The civil society has urged Parliament to reject a Bill seeking the extension of the commission.
"Parliamentarians should not accept the Bill despite the Cabinet decision to approve," he said.
Justice and Constitutional Affairs Minister Eugene Wamalwa on Thursday filed a motion seeking Parliament's permission to extend the term of TJRC by three months for it to complete its mandate.
Should Parliament approve the extension, the truth commission established in 2009, would now submit its final report in November.
The Commission was initially supposed to hand over its final report to the President by August 3 this year but is yet to finish compiling it due to internal wrangles.

A French study has found that dressage and high school work stressed horses more than jumping, eventing and vaulting. © Jan Milne
French research indicates that dressage and high-school work create higher levels of stress in horses than the likes of jumping, eventing and vaulting.
The scientists from the University of Rennes 1 said it was well known that stress at work could cause negative efforts in people, such as anxiety and depression. Could the daily work to which many horses were exposed result in similar effects?
The findings, published in the open-access journal PLoS ONE, indicated that horses, like people, faced stresses in their daily life involving troublesome human bosses, difficult interpersonal relationships, undue negative reinforcement and poor rewards.
Such negative experiences linked to training could lead horses to switch off, becoming unresponsive and apathetic - the equine equivalent of work-related burnout in people.
The researchers - Martine Hausberger, Emmanuel Gautier, Véronique Biquand, Christophe Lunel, and Patrick Jego - set about studying 76 French Saddlebred horses stabled at the Ecole Nationale d'Equitation in Sanur.
The horses, aged six to 15, were all geldings and housed in the same conditions, spending 23 hours a day in their stables. They received the same diet. The only difference was in the kind of discipline they performed each day for an hour.
The scientists monitored the horses in their stables for behaviours called stereotypies - abnormal repetitive behaviours which serve no useful function. These include repetitive mouth movement, head tossing or nodding, windsucking, cribbing and weaving.
They found that the type of work performed by the horses each day had a significant influence on the prevalence and types of undesirable traits shown.
"To our knowledge, this is the first evidence of potential effects of work stressors on the emergence of abnormal behaviours in an animal species.
"It raises an important line of thought on the chronic impact of the work situation on the daily life of individual [horses]."
The researchers found that 65 of the 76 subjects performed some type of stereotypy.
The horses were categorised as doing one of three kinds of work:
"They also performed the 'more serious' stereotypies - cribbing, windsucking, head shaking."
Horses, like people, are often asked to work on a daily basis, involving "interpersonal" interactions not only with other working horses but also, and mostly, with a "boss" who is the human who manages or rides it, the authors noted.
"Work sessions are based on training, using more often negative reinforcement or punishment than positive reinforcement.
"Physical and emotional constraints depend also on the type of work performed. Negative consequences of some practices, leading to physical and behavioural resistances, open conflicts and tensions during the work sessions have been described for some time.
"Conflicting signals given by the rider (urge forward with the legs and keep restraining through the mouth/bit) may lead the horse to frustration and neurosis.
"Finally, horses are asked to suppress emotional reactions from their early stages of work on, as such reactions may be contrary to the performance expected (dressage competition) or considered dangerous for the rider (such as bucking).
"Few studies, however, question the possible durable effects of such work stressors - interpersonal conflicts, suppressed emotions, physical constraints - on the daily life of horses outside the work sessions."
Negative experiences linked to training could lead to chronic states where horses "switch off", becoming unresponsive and apathetic - states described in humans in cases of work-related burnout.
Abnormal repetitive behaviours in horses are thought to be a way for animals to cope with an unfavourable stress-inducing environment.
"Dressage and high school both expect horses to restrain from expressing emotions and put a strong physical constraint on the movements," they noted.
"Moreover, cases where orders can be conflictual are more frequent here as the restricted gaits are often obtained by refraining movement through the reins and bit while pushing forward the horse through the legs.
"Therefore both physical and interactional stress can explain the high prevalence and types of stereotypies observed in these horses.
"Jumping, eventing or instruction horses were trained more to take long strides while moving forward in a less ritualised posture. These horses performed more repetitive licking or biting of environmental structures."
These, they said, are often considered to be early stages of stereotypy.
"Whether these horses would develop more serious stereotypies with time appears unlikely as they remained under these conditions for at least one year and often more. Maybe they were reacting mainly to the general unsuitable conditions (social separation ...) they were housed in.
"Finally, vaulting horses appeared the least prone to perform stereotypies and these were restricted mainly to tongue play. Vaulting horses had been chosen for their quiet temperament and spent their work time turning in circles, with voice orders.
"Interpersonal conflicts with the human are rather limited as they are just required to keep regular and slow paces, while accepting humans to make movements on their backs. Their originally quieter temperament may also make them more resistant to possible work stressors as observed in humans."
The authors pointed to earlier research suggesting that head shaking may be a last effect of strong bit action, resulting from damage to the trigeminal nerve, as riders work to keep their horse's head down.
This would explain why headshaking and nodding were performed more often by dressage horses as for most of their working time they have to keep their necks flexed in restrained gaits, they said.
"Although some work stressors involved here may be specific to equine work, others are clearly shared with other species, including humans: emotions suppression, interpersonal conflict, physical demands, lack of reward and negative future expectancy that are associated with depression in humans.
"The very controlled restricted locomotion allowed in dressage and especially high-school horses associated with rapid transitions may explain an increase of reactivity, especially when bit pressure and spurs induce additional aversive stimulations.
"The higher emotional responses of dressage horses in emotional tests provide further support for this hypothesis. Collected gaits may also be physically very demanding and these difficulties may frustrate the horse, but also its rider who can transmit additional nervousness."
The authors noted that other factors can be involved in development of stereotypies, including roughage availability, diet, social deprivation, lack of exercise and genetic susceptibilities. The length of time spent in stalls may also have an influence.
However, the results clearly showed that the discipline being performed by the horse influenced the degree to which they showed undesirable traits.
"We showed that, for a variety of reasons (physical, emotional ...) the limited time spent with humans might affect the remaining daily life of the horses.
"This may well be true for other situations such as handling, feeding, transporting animals. These results also raise the question of how different types of repetitive movements may develop.
"While some may be explained by lasting effects of physical constraints, others may emerge through chronic stress."
Of the 76 horses, 10 undertook eventing, 19 were show jumpers, seven worked in an advanced riding school, 17 performed dressage, 16 were high school and seven were used in vaulting.

Virgin Galactic Plans Space Hotels, Day Trips to the Moon
The suborbital space firm has audacious plans for orbit, although experts debate their current feasibility
Fancy a day's outing skimming above the moon's surface in a private two-person spaceship? If you're staying at a future space hotel planned by Virgin Galactic, that may be an option.
In a speech to Virgin Galactic customers on September 27, the company's founder, Sir Richard Branson, outlined these plans and more for the future of his commercial space fleet. "Using small, purpose-built, two-man spaceships based at space hotels our guests will be able to take breathtaking day trips programmed to fly a couple of hundred feet above of the moon's surface," Branson said. "They will be able to take in with their own eyes awe-inspiring views of mountains, craters and vast dry seas below."
The plans are certainly audacious for a company that has yet to fly a customer to space. Still, more than 500 people have already paid deposits toward the $200,000 trips soon to be offered aboard Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo vehicle. These journeys will reach a peak altitude of 110 kilometers—just over the 100-kilometer height considered to mark the beginning of space—and will be suborbital flights, which return to the ground before making a full orbit of Earth.

Rose watch: Derrick takes major step toward returnContinue reading.
Rose watch: Derrick takes another step toward return
Derrick Rose increased his activity level during a light practice at the Berto Center on Friday, according to coach Tom Thibodeau, who has yet to rule his star point guard out for Sunday afternoon's game against the Nets.
"We'll see how he feels," Thibodeau said of Rose. "This is the first time he's done more activity."
Rose, who has missed four straight games will back spasms, will have to clear two hurdles before he returns to the court.
"If he's feeling good he should play," Thibodeau said. "If he's not feeling good he shouldn't. He has to be cleared medically first. We want him to be pain free. Those are the two things we're looking at. Each day he has gotten better, he's done more. We're just going step by step."
Thibodeau said the Nets 8-23 record will have no impact on whether Rose plays. The Bulls host the 19-11 Hawks on Monday afternoon.
"That decision shouldn't be based on what may be perceived as an opponent's record," he said. "Lots of times when you look at a team their record may not be an indication of how good they are. They may have had injuries themselves. They might be playing well."
In other news, Rip Hamilton was running from halfcourt and practicing his pull-up jumpers and also simulating coming off screens and shooting after practice. Hamilton has missed 10 games with a thigh injury and 20 overall.
"He did a little more today, too," Thibodeau said of Hamilton. "He did some shooting. That was a good sign. He still has a long way to go but he's feeling a lot better."

seen through the eyes of those who suffered through it before you
by Craig O'Neill
Spring 2001
what exactly are we talking about?
2. I understand that chiral compounds are mirror images of each other that are superposable but how do I tell they are superposable?
3. How can I tell the difference between an enantiomer and a diastereomer?
is an R and there is an S, but I don't know what to do with them.
Review of optical activity.
I'm getting this stereocenter thing, but somebody had to go and screw
everything up and stick two stereocenters together. Some people are just weird.
Show me what to do with these things.
Projections does not mean a weekend out on the lake. How do I interpret them?
here who hate cyclic compounds as much as I do should see if this page helps at
The bottom line of this whole chapter is learning
the difference between isomers. There
are two types of isomers, constitutional and stereoisomers.
Constitutional isomers are two compounds that have the same atoms
present, but differ in their connectivity.
These compounds contain the same number of atoms, but the oxygen has been moved to form an ether instead of an alcohol. Therefore, these compounds are constitutional isomers.
Stereoisomers also
have the same atoms present, however the connectivity is the same.
This means the same number of hydrogens will be attached to each carbon
and the same number of carbons will be attached to each carbon.
Picture this:
Now, these structures both appear to be the same, but careful observation will reveal that the amine groups attached are in the cis conformation on the left and the trans conformation on the right. Therefore, the same atoms are present, but just in a different spatial arrangement.
Not to beat this idea into your head, but here is another
example of a stereoisomer, but this time we will use a hydrocarbon chain.
Notice that the chain on the left is in the cis conformation at the double bond and the chain on the right is trans. This makes them stereoisomers.
The easiest way to tell if the mirror image is superimposable or not
and superposable is to find the stereochemistry at the stereocenter. This entails you to find the stereocenter first and then label the groups attached to it in order of their priority. This means the atom with the highest atomic number will be labeled A and the next highest B. The next step is to rotate the molecule so the D group is facing away from you.
If the groups go from A to C clockwise, it is in the R configuration. If the groups are
arranged counterclockwise, it is in the S configuration.
a few
A has two stereocenters. The top stereocenter is an R configuration and the bottom stereocenter is an S configuration. For B the stereocenter is an S. C does not have to be considered because there are two of the same groups attached, and is not chiral.
If the two compounds you are looking at are
mirror images of each other, but the configuration at the stereocenter differs,
they are not superposable. Therefore they are chiral compounds. If they are superposable, then they are achiral.
The easiest way to tell apart an enantiomer and a diastereomer is to look at whether or not the compounds are mirror images of each other. The best way to learn this is through practice. Here are a few examples, see if you can determine whether or not the compounds are enantiomers, the same, or diastereomers.
Hint: first determine if the compounds are mirror images of each other, and then find the individual stereochemistry around each chiral carbon. Remember the hand rule or the clockwise/counterclockwise arrangement discussed in the previous section.
you are having problems determining the configuration at each stereocenter, I
suggest building a model.
A is a pair
of diastereomers,
because the configuration is S, S in the first compound and R,S in the second
B is a
tricky one. They
are both in the trans configuration and there is a plane of symmetry.
Also, notice there is no carbon with four different groups.
Therefore, they are not enantiomers and there is no
C does not have a carbon with four different groups, so it does not have a stereocenter either.
D is a pair of enatiomers. Notice they are mirror images of each other.
If you have read the past few sections you know what the S and R designations are. They tell what type of stereochemistry is found at the stereocenter. Finding the stereochemistry at the stereocenters can help determine whether two compounds are enantiomers or diastereomers. Also, R and S versions of the same compound will have different optical activity values.
Optical activity is the only physical property that differs from one enantiomer
to the next. Optical activity is
measured when plane polarized light is passed through a compound.
When the light passes through the compound, it is bent either with
positive rotation (dextrorotary) or with negative rotation (levorotary).
There is no correlation between positive or negative rotation with the S
or R configuration. S can be either
dextrorotary or levorotary and the R enantiomer will be the opposite of the S.
The value given to optical activity is specific rotation.
The equation to figure out specific rotation can be found page 203 in
your textbook.
When dealing with two or more stereocenters on the same compound,
there are a lot of possibilities. The
first possibility is that the compounds are enantiomers of each other, the
second that they are diastereomers, and finally that they can be meso compounds.
Diastereomers occur when the compounds have the same chemical formula,
but are not mirror images of each
Now look at these same atoms arranged differently to form an enatiomer. These compounds are mirror images of each other. However, they do have different stereochemistries, which makes them enantiomers.
You should also look at these next compounds and discover what makes them different from the above.
These compounds appear to be enatiomers, because they are mirror images of each other. They really are not. The middle two compounds are the meso compound, since they are the same. The outside two compounds are enatiomers of each other. Therefore, a meso compound is observed with stereoisomers where you would expect four different possible structures (two pairs of enantiomers), but there are only three stereoisomers.
Fischer projections are a quick way to show three dimensions without the
hassle of having to draw 3-D. They
are very effective for those of us who lack artistic skills.
When you look at the diagram the horizontal lines represent atoms that
are coming out at you. The vertical lines mean they are going away from you.
Fischer projections can be rotated 180 degrees and still be the same
compound. However, if you flip it
vertically or horizontally, it becomes the enantiomer.
This Fischer projection has been flipped horizontally. These two are enatiomers of each other. The first projection has an S, R configuration. The second projection has an R, S configuration.
Now lets look at a vertically flipped diagram.
These compounds are enatiomers of each other.
Finally, notice what happens when the diagrams are rotated 180 degrees in the plane of the paper.
The configuration at each stereocenter remains the same.
If you are anything like me, it is very hard for you to determine the stereochemistry
in cyclic compounds the best way is just practice. Hopefully, this area will help.
Do your best to determine the stereochemistry.

Back in Action
A Grace Place was swirling with activity Sept. 16, as volunteers scattered throughout the Henrico facility – some with books to read, others with paintbrushes in hand – to share their time, talents and smiles with others.
It was all part of the Greater Richmond and Petersburg United Way's annual Day of Action, during which some 300 volunteers teamed to visit 20 organizations throughout the region and lend their assistance in the form of 900 volunteer hours. The event signaled the kickoff of the United Way's annual fundraising drive which this year seeks to raise $17 million for the local chapter and the charities to which it contributes.
At A Grace Place, volunteers from Owens and Minor, Sun Trust and Dominion broke into several groups to help clients prepare for a fashion show the next day; host a jazz trivia event for others; paint an area in need of sprucing up; and lend their smiles and assistance to AGP's clients and staff members.
"It's a way for volunteers to get a firsthand look at what they can do for the United Way," said Lynne Seward, CEO of A Grace Place.
A Grace Place, a non-profit organization founded in 1969, provides daytime health services, support and activities for adults who have a wide range of special needs – from those with mental handicaps such as dementia and autism to those with disabilities and senior citizens with chronic conditions. Its 229 clients come from all over the Metro Richmond region, their visits covered fully or partially by Medicaid in most cases and by scholarships in others. Its Board of Directors is composed entirely of volunteers.
The organization considers itself fortunate to have a strong group of corporate partners, including those who visited during last month's Day of Action, as well as Genworth and Altria, Seward said. Local schools, including Collegiate, St. Christopher's and VCU, also send students to research and volunteer at AGP.
"It's great that corporations give time like this," Seward said, gesturing toward a group of volunteers from Owens and Minor as they took a group photograph before setting off to mingle with clients. "They go back to work with renewed energy."
The average client at A Grace Place receives services there for about a decade, Seward said. The organization usually has a handful of open spots, but Seward realizes that for each person it helps, countless others in the community are going without that same type of care. There simply aren't enough options available to provide care for the growing number of people afflicted with various conditions, including Alzheimer's, she said.
"We don't know where [many of them] are getting care right now," Seward said.
A Grace Place is adding services so that it will be able to accept more adults with autism and Alzheimer's. But, "the issue is funding," she said. The United Way's annual donations help – A Grace Place received more than $122,000 during its Fiscal Year 2008-09 – but funding from other sources continues to slide.
In one room last month, clients with dementia listened intently, smiles creeping across several of their faces, as a volunteer read a Dr. Seuss story. The room, decorated in soft tones and with children's furniture, is designed to provide clients with a sense of their own childhood years.
Age Wave Planning
With United Way and Senior Connections, The Capital Area Agency on Aging, leading the way, a number of public and private organizations and businesses recently joined together to initiate the Greater Richmond Age Wave program, which seeks to prepare the region for the anticipated population boom among senior citizens. Projections show that the number of adults 65 and older in Virginia will double to 700,000 or 800,000 within 20 years, creating a broad range of needs – and opportunities.
"We're already not meeting the needs of people today," said Lea Setegn, spokeswoman for the United Way. "What are we going to do when it doubles?"
The project seeks to identify potential challenges associated with the growing senior population – such as the need for affiliated services and long-term care options – identify gaps in the system and make recommendations about how to fill them.
Perhaps most troubling to those like Seward who see the effects firsthand is that most families are uninformed about the options that exist for their family members.
"Families are totally caught off-guard," she said. "People don't plan – for retirement or for their own future fees."
But A Grace Place also experiences the flip side of the growing population. It enjoys support from a number of volunteers who are themselves part of the Baby Boomers generation, Seward said.
"Baby boomers are changing everything that they touch," she said. "We have boomers who come in and don't only volunteer but invent new programs."
Short Pump Rotary volunteers help with rebuild, repair
On June 13, the Short Pump Rotary Club partnered with Schnabel Engineering for a day of volunteer work with Rebuilding Together Richmond. Team members (among them [from left] Chris Rufe, Melissa Abraham, Rick Naschold, and Micky Ogburn) completed a variety of repairs and home improvements ranging from painting and landscaping to cabinet installation and fence building.
"It was a privilege to be involved in this project," said club president Melissa Abraham. "The homeowner kept thanking the volunteers, but I think all of us would agree we are the ones who actually benefited. It was an opportunity to help a community member, fellowship with great people and improve our handyman skills." > Read more.

Another challenge: finding places that are struck by lightning enough to make this worth building.
March 14, 2011 at 6:15 pm
A_H: Graphene is highly conductive– nearly perfectly so. Electricity travels along the path of least resistance, and your body is highly resistant. Even if you stood at the base of the tower and bridged the gap between building and ground (worst case scenario), the amount of current that would pass through your body would be negligible.
The only problem with this design is that current tech only produces graphene in sheets a few millimeters in size. Creating solid structures is certainly several decades away.
March 14, 2011 at 5:53 am
Can't imagine how can they do maintenance…. or even build it without someone struck by a lightning bolt or two…
March 11, 2011 at 3:06 pm
While it´s true a ligtning bolt has a lot of energy, most of it is immediately lost to the surrounding air as heat and thus not available electrically. And has anyone thought about ground to cloud lightning?

Dang - with a scouting Report like that, this guy must a third eye, or he's a definite college guy.Originally Posted by Red Leader
Belcher was selected in round 40 or so last year out of HS. They gave him a decent pile of cash to sign. Curtis was the one to lure away though-well D'alessio of course whom wanted 400k.
I want to say they signed 25.

Mueller:Smooth, projectable righty threw in the mid-80s over the summer of 2003. Good athlete with "plus" arm-action.
Who wrote this scouting report anyway, Sparky Anderson?Originally Posted by Red Leader
Never overlook the obvious
Coello is intriguing-6'5" 210. 19th best HS C. Signed with S. Florida.
a power/power catcher, with a lithe, 6-5 frame. From the right side of the plate, he has light-tower power. The state of Florida is loaded with HS catchers for 2003 and Coello might be the sleeper.
Nichols is a strong verbal to Arizona.
The incompetence of this organization is evident.
Drafting a HS player in round 50 instead of a collegiate pitcher. Idiots! This franchise is doomed :mhcky21:
More on Coello (this is from last year). Coello is an interesting player with some of the biggest power potential in the showcase. He is big at 6'5 and has a very athletic body with a large shoulder girdle. So much room is there for him to add 30 or more pounds projects him best at an infield corner. He popped 1.95 to 2.0 in the skills, 2.10 in the game and his arm is above average so he might end up at 3B. At 1B he showed a good glove and plus arm. His best tool is his powerful bat. He generated a lot of bat-speed and really whips the head of his bat through the zone, late and hard. He showed topspin on many of his hits and if he let the ball get back in the zone further he might get more lift to compliment that power. We liked the look of that powerful swing. He could be a very high draft pick.

The last time I saw Monsignor Pace right-hander Robert Palencia he came in relief to beat Sarasota High School in extra innings. That night he dominated with an outstanding slider and curve ball to go with his 92 mph fastball. Today, the 6-foot-2, 200-pound right-handed pitcher, topped out at 89 mph and threw in the 86-88 range. He also throws a two-seamer in the 85-86 range. He showed a different delivery with his left foot wide open on the rubber as a timing mechanism. He throws the ball from the 11 oclock arm slot with consistency.
Brad Jarrell has signed with a JC so he is likely a draft and follow. Also this from teamone:
Ben Price SS Terra Linda HS (CA)
Smooth fielding SS, but the bat has a ways to go. This is a draft and follow guy, but an interesting pick, because most of his time has been spent playing basketball. He may really progress quickly as a baseball only guy.
Let's see if they can at least improve on getting some of the higher ceiling guys signed this time.
One last report on HS CF Ecker. He has signed to play FB with Nevada-Reno but is greyshirting his FR year in order to play club BB and look for a school that will let him play both sports, the NR coach frowns on it. This is the reason the Reds could do a draft and follow as Teamone suggests:
As athletic as they come. Left hand hitter with four usable tools right now, very similar to Luis Gonzalez of the Diamondbacks. Expect to the Reds to work to sign him as the summer goes on, or to draft and follow. Great pick by the Reds, this kid was seriously under the radar.

Harrison working his way backPosted by on August 21, 2012 – 4:03 pm
The Steelers are strong at linebacker, but injuries have taken their toll this training camp with James Harrison and Jason Worilds on the PUP list since camp started and Stevenson Sylvester now out with a knee injury.
But there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
When asked on Tuesday if it is realistic that he will be back in time for the season opener in Denver on Sept. 9, Harrison said, "I think so," even though he doesn't anticipate playing in any preseason games at this point.
Harrison isn't sure when he will be able to return to practice, but does know he will need some practice time before he is game ready.
"We just have to go through each day and see how I feel," said Harrison. "I think I might need a little preparation. We've got a couple of new things but other than that I think I'll be all right.
"You have to get your timing back with the other guys and everything else. A few days of practice will help."
Harrison had arthroscopic surgery on his knee during camp, but isn't concerned about it bothering him down the road.
"Just actually getting out there and doing field work and cutting caused it to blow back up. I couldn't let it go any longer," he said. "The scope cleaned it up. I'm not worried about it."

YIELD: Makes 20 dumplings
ACTIVE TIME: 25 min
TOTAL TIME: 35 min
Make filling:
Cut celery into 2-inch pieces. With food processor running, drop in celery and garlic and finely chop. Stop motor and add chicken, 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce, sesame oil, and 1/8 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Pulse until just combined.
Form dumplings:
Put 2 wrappers on a dry surface, keeping remaining wrappers in package, and lightly brush edges with water. Mound a rounded teaspoon filling in center of each wrapper. Fold in half, into triangles or half-moons, and pinch edges tightly to seal. Make 18 more dumplings in same manner.
Make dipping sauce:
Chop enough celery leaves to measure 1 1/2 tablespoons and stir together with remaining 3 tablespoons soy sauce and vinegar.
Fry dumplings:
Heat vegetable oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot, then arrange dumplings, slightly overlapping, in a spiral pattern and fry until bottoms are pale golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Add water, tilting skillet to distribute, then cover tightly with lid and cook until liquid has evaporated and bottoms of dumplings are crisp and golden, 6 to 7 minutes. (Use a spatula to loosen and lift edges to check bottoms; replace lid and continue cooking if necessary, checking after 1 to 2 minutes.) Remove lid and invert a large plate with a rim over skillet. Holding plate and skillet tightly together, invert dumplings onto plate. Serve immediately, with dipping sauce.

The conclusion that Manfred von Richthofen and other German flying aces of the first world war achieved their success more by luck than skill is interesting, but the article prompts many questions (29 July, p 19).
There were many variables in air combat in the first world war, and anyone who has flown a biplane will understand that trying to shoot down one biplane from another would at times be like trying to shoot clay pigeon while standing up in a hammock. So how are the pilots with true "ace skills" to be identified?
It has long been said of von Richthofen that he preyed upon vulnerable targets - very sensible, and so did everyone else whenever they could. Pilots such as von Richthofen and Oswald Boelke followed a system of air fighting that was designed to minimise risk and maximise the chances of shooting down the enemy. They stuck ...

text: The Historical Inaccuracy wiki last edited by Jagged85 on 02/10/15 07:06PM View full history Although there are exceptions (conspiracy theories, religious arguments, etc.), humanity has come to a consensus on what has happened in the past. The United States and the Soviet Union never nuked one another, the empire of Alexander the Great collapsed shortly after his untimely death, cross-Atlantic travel was technologically impossible until the late fifteenth century, and Nippon was an isolated nation until outside intervention inspired the rise of the Empire of Japan.In the realms of science fiction & fantasy, however, liberties are sometimes taken with history to provide an alternate, "What if?" scenario. From Nazis with advanced technology to nuclear fallout across America, historical inaccuracy has a rich tradition in video games.IntentionalGames that contain historical inaccuracies sometimes do so blatantly. For example, the Assassin's Creed franchise introduces a long-running rivalry between the Templar and Assassin guilds. Both these factions are reported in game to have an enduring history, including ties with actual classical figures and worldwide governments. The Crimson Skies and Red Alert series both have alternate histories stemming from divergences in mid-twentieth century events, while Civilization games or titles in the steampunk genre may feature technological disparities or other anachronisms for gameplay or story purposes.UnintentionalGames may also feature anachronistic elements due to incomplete research or poor writing. The game Godfather II features styles that were not yet present in the era it is depicting, while Rogue Warrior may have included pop-culture references that had not yet been popularized by the time period in which it is set.

This is a legalistic essay, to be easily understood only by a lawyer, on the complex "doctrine of concurrent jurisdiction" between the national and the state courts. The doctrine involved the question of which courts had primary jurisdiction, and how appeals would be made from court to court.
Having cited a number of hypothetical examples, Hamilton concluded that as state governments and the national government were kindred systems and "parts Of ONE WHOLE," the inference was conclusive that state courts would have concurrent jurisdiction in all cases arising under federal law, except where "expressly prohibited."
In this essay Hamilton did reasonably well in clarifying for the lay mind the perplexities about how the highly legalistic "doctrine of concurrent jurisdiction" between national and state courts would work in practice.

Eventually, James Madison lost faith in a one party system, and helped organize which political party to compete with the Federalists?

Meizu MX will reportedly enter the quad-core realm in May 2012
In our review of the Meizu MX from last week, we found the smartphone to be one of the most capable dual-core offerings on the market today. It appears however, that the Chinese company behind this peculiar smartphone has grander plans for its offspring. It released its plans for a quad-core version of the MX, which will be unveiled in May next year.
Rumor has it, that the quad-core Meizu MX will feature the Samsung made Exynos 4412 CPU - a logical speculation given the current CPU of the smartphone. Regardless of the silicon choice though, having a reasonably priced quad-core Android smartphone sounds like a neat idea to us.
Meizu MX will reportedly enter the quad-core realm in May 2012 - reader comments

Suppose you could run bursts at thirty miles an hour. Very useful for catching a bus. Suppose you had hairs on your face that could measure distances from left to right, and vice-versa. Great for walking through trees at night after a picnic. Suppose you had a section of your brain that could register and store your emotions. You could be a sensitive creature with a rich life. You might even be capable of loving people. And suppose you liked to touch people you love, and have them touch you.
Suppose the pattern on your nose was as unique as fingerprints. If arrested, the cops might place you face down on an inkpad. Suppose you slept twelve to twenty hours and stored your energy for special times when you need a lot of it. Unlike, say, Julie Andrews, you could not only wish you could dance all night, but actually do so.
Suppose you could jump five times your height. You could get things from the second floor of your house without having to climb those pesky stairs. Suppose you fell from a second floor window of your house while cleaning its outside surface, and could land on your feet and brush off the whole incident. You'd save a lot on health and life insurance. Suppose you had on your tongue backward-facing mini-rods so you could clean yourself very well indeed using only your tongue, saving the cost of soap and of heating water.
Suppose you moved with reflexes fast enough to kill cobras, and did not need any weapons to do so. You might even be worshiped as a demigod, as in fact you were in ancient Egypt. Suppose you always walked on your toes. You could walk around, or even dance around, your apartment without annoying the guy downstairs. And suppose you could hear sounds pitched too low and too high for him or your other neighbors to hear. You could play dance music on specially designed audio equipment as loud as you like, without them complaining to you about it. Suppose you were walking, let's say on vacation, through a forest strange to you, and you could mark all the trees and boulders you want with your personal, unique "perfume." You would not have to worry about getting lost — all you'd have to do is smell your way back to where you started.
You are a male? Well, suppose you had backward facing mini-rods on your penis. You could stimulate the vagina of your wife while in intercourse to help her ovulate, and so increase the chance of a wanted pregnancy. Why, with your sexual prowess, in old Norse Mythology, the Goddess of Love, Freyja, would have you and your friends pull her chariot around to inspire lovers all over the land. And if you are female? Well, you could give birth to at least 120 babies in ten years, get your name in Guinness's Book of Records, and so be almost as famous as Kim Kardashian. And suppose your eyes were even more spellbinding than those of the fascinating Ms. Kardashian.
Now, suppose you could dilate the pupils of those eyes of yours so much that you could see in almost total darkness. Very useful during LIPA's power outages, right? Suppose you could narrow your eyes' pupils to slits so that you could see in blinding sunlight with no sunglasses. You wouldn't need to frequently say to yourself, "Where the heck did I leave my sunglasses." Suppose your eyes also had mini-sensors on the backs of their retinas that allowed you to detect even the minutest motion. Why with all these capabilities, your eyesight would be like Superman's.
Suppose tigers, lions, leopards and cheetahs were among your close relatives.
Now, suppose all these suppositions were true. Well then, you'd be a housecat.

Burt's Bees Ultra Conditioning Lip Balm

Like many other reviewers, I am totally surprised that the Burt's Bees company actually makes this product and labels it "ultra conditioning." I've had pretty good experiences with most of their other balms, and when I saw this one at the store for about a dollar more than any of their other stuff, I thought it'd be great for winter since my lips are already getting drier from the changing weather. Well, I was wrong. It's by far the worst one I've ever bought. I don't know what else to say about it besides echoing the other negative reviews. It feels oily for sure, but I don't even really mind that at all compared to the way it dissipates completely within minutes and leaves your lips feeling drier than they were before. It's not just a tactical sensation, either - My lips are visibly much more chapped on a regular, all day basis when I use this product. Ignore what the name says and skip it.

I am somewhat intrigued to see all of these negative reviews. I did not experience any drying of the lips, ect. For me, this lip balm was a bit greasy which is why if I could, I would rate it a 4.5. Other than that it worked pretty well. It adds shine to your lips, softens them, and hydrates. However this does smell faintly of fruit loops but tastes OK. My biggest complaint would be that the packaging is not impressive at all. It is made of a cheap plastic and when you twist it all the way to the top the lip balm may break off.
I bought mine for $3.97 which makes it one more dollar than the other Burt's Bees lip balms but it is still very inexpensive. This worked for me so I will repurchase.
I want to now apoligize for my earlier statement about not understanding the bad reviews. Now that I have gone through a lot more of the product, I can say that I agree that this lip balm can get grainy. It feels like grains of sand have been glued to my lips. Plus thinking about it, this does make my lips somewhat greasier than I may have originally led you on to. I would still repurchase for home use because this still hydrates my extremely dry lips and worked better than my Baby Lips at that.

This is the worst lip balm I have ever tried. How is this "ultra conditioning"? All it does is leave a slippery greasy feeling on my lips that never seems to absorb. If anything, it made my lips feel even more dry. Plus, it smells and tastes nasty. Burt's Bees, please get rid of this product!

I just bought my second tube today...and I don't think I have ever bought the same lip product twice in my life. Nothing works for me, I have perpetually dry lips. Even the other BB's lip balms didn't work for me. But this one does. It is a very creamy emoliating balm with decent lasting power (do any of them really last long?). I keep it on my nightstand and apply it even night, and I had other balms for the daytime in my purse and at my desk. Well those just suck enough for me to replace them with this even though I hate wasting unfinished product. This balm is just that much superior. And of course, I love the no-animal-testing. I would recommend this balm if you have truly dry lips.

I have no idea what kokum butter is, but it must be good stuff! I LOVE this lip balm! There is no fragrance, no taste. It is a little slippery and does need reapplication frequently, but that is okay with me. It is very moisturizing. I have repurchased this several times, even in the twin pack. I hope they don't ever quit making it.

This is the worst Burt's Bees Lip Balm that I've used so far. It didn't moisturize my lips at all, and I really dislike the smell/taste. The texture was okay at first, somewhat greasy for a Burt's Bees Lip Balm, but over time I found that it became kind of gritty and unpleasant to wear. I also found myself having to reapply constantly because it was actually drying my lips out. It's also priced higher than the normal Burt's Bee's Lip Balms, which makes it even worse for how low quality it is.

I love the smooth texture my lips have after I apply this on. I can't say it really helps to stop my lips from being cracked and dry, but it definitely feels like it works when it's on my lips. I tried Blistex's Deep Renewal and it was garbage. I had a horrid taste in my mouth the whole day and it did nothing to help my lips. But Burts - can never go wrong.

Not moisturizing at all. Very slippery on the lips- almost liquidy. With so much slip it wears off very quickly. I don't understand how this can be labelled as "ultra conditioning" when it doesn't do anything except dry your lips out more, especially when they do have some really nice lip balms. Their mango butter one is my HG. Love it. Avoid this one, try one of their other balms.

Almost everyone has already said what I think about this product: terrible. Thin and greasy feeling on the kips. It wears off in a matter of minutes (single digit) and leaves my lips feeling drier than before application. i can't believe the package claims it provides "4-hour moisturization." What?! I bought a two-pack of these at Target hoping it would be good for overnight protection in dry, winter weather. What a waste. I'm really surprised Burt's could manage to make a product this bad.

Below is the poem entitled They Took More which was written by poet
Petersen. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Chandre Petersen
This poem I dedicate to the people in my
household the night our home was invaded by two
Its 3:41 soaked in fear
We are ordered to hide near
They crushed what was once my home
And removed any remainder of peace
The gates rattle send a fearful and cold shrill
They stole a "TV"
But if they only knew !
That they stole a 12 year old's security
Horror climbed the stairs
Through what could have been
If they shot us dead
That night will always remain dark
Shots were fired !
We were chuffed into a cupboard
Three children unknown to what was occurring
I Heard my mothers panic
God seemed to hear her call
One shot but 7 mentally bruised
Left with confused faces asking what next ?
For a moment we seemed to be lost
A "Tsotsi" stole more than a TV
That night he stole innocence and peace
He stole a young boys sense of security
What do we think that a gun defines power
Since its existence
We think it justifies the injustice
It removes the stains of hate
It soothes the insanity of the mind
It is the easy way out
It is protection
Well with the many reasons it has
One is, its a reality of death
