Mr. Hughes,
Are you suggesting that Iran and every other Muslim nation constitute a "a region of the world where little girls have acid thrown in their faces if they try to go to school, women have their noses cut off for refusing to marry men they don't love, or are buried up to their necks and stoned to death for eloping with men they do love, doctors can be ordered to sever people's spines in eye-for-an-eye vengeance, and daily newspapers routinely refer to Christians and Jews as "apes" and "pigs" over the repeated protests of our State Department"?
If so, then I would like to suggest that the entire Christian region of the world is one where Catholics and Protestants kill one another (as in Ireland), where people are eager to collaborate with the genocidal crimes like those of the Nazi Holocaust (as in France, Italy, Croatia, Slovakia, etc.), and where everyone holds dear to the crackpot notions of the Christian Identity movement.
By the way, are you aware that the CIA financed Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, an Afghan who is infamous for throwing acid at women dressed in western clothing?
Can I not use your reasoning to suggest that, in so doing, America has shown itself to be a region all of whose residents are equally guilty of that crime and can be characterized as supporting that sort of behavior?
Senator Syverson has told us that he supports trade with countries that enslave their own people; see my posting here:
Isn't that reason enough to conclude that Syverson suffers NOT from what you call "bad judgment" but rather from willful ignorance of foreign cultures and/or callous indifference to abuses of human rights when doing otherwise would interfere with satisfaction of his profit motives?
You accuse those of us who criticize Syverson of "petulant and almost adolescent rage".
Well, Mr. Hughes, I would like to suggest that since moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue, rage is the appropriate response to bigotry like that coming from Senator Syverson.
Furthermore, I would suggest that all of us who love liberty and justice for all should direct some of our outrage and indignation not only at Syverson and his apologists, such as yourself, but also at all of the politicians of both parties who have turned our country into the whore of Wall Street and the boon companion of tyrants and bullies the world around who, like our own, are eager to find favor with the wealthy, freedom-hating oligarchs who rule there.
We have many other politicians now in office who, like Senator Syverson, seem to have forgotten (or perhaps never learned) that the difference between right and wrong has nothing to do with the difference between profit and loss.
It's long past time for men and women of conscience to get good and angry about what they have done to our country.
I hope that they are not cowed into silence by the unsound and invalid arguments that you have presented.

Presidential landslides could be thing of the past
PHOENIX -- America hasn't had a true blowout in a presidential election in almost three decades.
Bruce Merrill with Arizona State University said landslide victories are determined by the candidates' charisma.
"Will somebody like Ronald Reagan emerge again? That's the question," he said. "Somebody dynamic could capture the fancy of the American people and then you could have a blowout."
Merrill said presidential elections are being decided by almost the same states every four years, states with the electoral votes that make or break a White House run. This year it was Florida, Ohio, Virginia and a handful of others.
"The emphasis on the Electoral College is taking the campaign away from the majority of people living in the United States, but I don't see any chance of the Electoral College changing. It would take a Constitutional amendment," he said.
In 1984, Ronald Reagan had 59 percent of the popular vote and 525 electoral votes, compared with Walter Mondale's 41 percent of the popular vote and 13 electoral votes.
For comparison, in the 2012 presidential race, President Obama captured 332 electoral votes and 50 percent of the popular vote. Republican challenger Mitt Romney had 206 electoral votes and 48 percent of the popular vote.

Tuscarawas News Detail
Kent State Presidential Speaker Series Presents An Evening With Nobel Peace Prize Winner Elie WieselPosted Jan. 21, 2013
Ticket sales for the event begin Feb. 1
Holocaust survivor, Nobel Peace Prize winner and Boston University Professor Elie Wiesel will speak at the second Kent State University Presidential Speaker Series on Thursday, April 11, at 7 p.m., at the Memorial Athletic and Convocation Center on the Kent Campus.
Tickets for the event go on sale beginning Friday, Feb. 1, at www.kent.edu/ElieWiesel.
"Professor Elie Wiesel is a true humanitarian and peace advocate who has impacted our world for most of his life through his works, writings and commitment to the plights of the oppressed," says Kent State President Lester A. Lefton. "Having a man of his caliber, who has achieved much for humanity, at Kent State is indeed an honor, and so I invite all members of our community to come and learn from what promises to be a thought-provoking session."
In 1928, Wiesel was born in Sighet, Romania, (Hungary 1940-45). He was 15 when he and his family were deported to Auschwitz. His mother and younger sister perished there. He and his father were later transported to Buchenwald, where his father died shortly before the camp was liberated in 1945.
After the war, Wiesel studied in Paris and eventually became a journalist in that city, yet he remained silent about his time in the death camps. During an interview with the French writer François Mauriac, he was persuaded to end that silence and wrote his memoir "Night." Since its publication in 1956 in Yiddish and in 1958 in French, "Night" has been translated into more than 30 languages and millions of copies have been sold. In 2006, Farrar, Straus and Giroux published a new English-language edition of "Night" featuring a new translation by Marion Wiesel. Oprah Winfrey chose the book for her book club.
Wiesel's personal experience of the Holocaust led him to use his talents as an author, teacher and storyteller to advocate for human rights and peace in the world. He has worked on behalf of oppressed people much of his adult life.
An ardent supporter of Israel, Wiesel also was among the first to defend the causes of Soviet Jews, Nicaragua's Miskito Indians, Argentina's "Disappeared," Cambodia's refugees, the Kurds, South African apartheid victims, famine victims in Africa, the prisoners in the former Yugoslavia, and most recently the victims of genocide in Darfur. Soon after he received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986, Wiesel and his wife, Marion, established The Elie Wiesel Foundation for Humanity. Its mission, rooted in the memory of the Holocaust, is to combat indifference, intolerance and injustice through international dialogue and youth-focused programs that promote acceptance, understanding and equality.
Wiesel's work has earned him the United States Congressional Gold Medal (1985); the Medal of Liberty Award (1986); the Presidential Medal of Freedom (1992); the rank of Grand-Croix in the French Legion of Honor (2001); an honorary Knighthood of the British Empire awarded by Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II (2006) and the 2009 National Humanities Medal. He is the recipient of more than 130 honorary degrees from institutions of higher learning in the United States, Europe and Israel. In 1978, President Jimmy Carter appointed him chairman of the President's Commission on the Holocaust. In 1980, he became founding chairman of the United States Holocaust Memorial Council, which created the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C.
Wiesel has served as distinguished professor of Judaic Studies at the City University of New York (1972-1976) and the Henry Luce Visiting Scholar in the Humanities and Social Thought at Yale University (1982-1983). Since 1976, he has been the Andrew W. Mellon Professor in the Humanities at Boston University, where he also holds the title of University Professor and is a faculty member in the departments of religion and philosophy. In 2002, Boston University created The Elie Wiesel Center of Jewish Studies in his honor.
Wiesel has been an American citizen since 1963.
The Kent State Presidential Speaker Series seeks to bring high-profile, world-renowned experts to Kent State for serious, thought-provoking discussions and conversations. The new program enhances the engagement of the world beyond Kent State's campuses, which is one of the university's strategic goals.

Wind: 0 mph
By Lisa Loomis
There are five bridges in Waitsfield which the state of Vermont inspects and grades on an annual basis. Those five bridges range in age from one built in 1833 to one built in 1999.
The Vermont Agency of Transportation, Structures Division recently provided a letter and a bridge-by bridge report card to the town of Waitsfield. The four bridges it discusses are the Village Covered Bridge, the Pine Brook Covered Bridge on North Road, the Butternut Hill Bridge and the bridge on the Tremblay Road by the Pines Rest Area.
The state report compares the condition of the local bridge to current federal standards. The 2007 report for the village covered bridge notes that the 'superstructure' rating of that bridge is satisfactory, as is the substructure. The covered bridge, built in 1833 and reconstructed in 1973, fails to meet federal standards which were codified long after the bridge was built. The bridge railings, the approach guardrails and the transitions from bridge to Bridge Street do not meet the current standards. In terms of structural evaluation and deck geometry, the report states that these are 'intolerable, replacement needed.'
The report quotes from a 2004 inspection, which points out that the abutments are in need of repair.
"Most of the deterioration in this area is due to the chronic erosion occurring below the sidewalk as the laid up stone retaining wall fails. Construction of a new retaining wall should be considered," notes the 2004 report.
A 2006 report notes that the bridge is "in fairly good condition. Recent repairs have been made to correct over height vehicle impact damage. The portals have been reconstructed. Tie beams 1, 2, 11, 12 and 13 have been replaced along with six new 'ship knees.' Roughly 75 percent of the original cross bracing has been omitted over the years. Consider adding complete cross brace system in all but the end bays."
By way of comparison, the town received a letter from its insurer, the Vermont League of Cities and Towns, that references an evaluation performed on March 20. That report notes that the 'bridge is in great shape."
The state's report on the Pine Brook Covered Bridge, built in 1872, notes that the bridge's railings and transitions do not meet current standards, nor to the guardrails. The written summary references 2004 and 2006 reports. The 2004 report notes that the bridge is in fairly good conditions and adds, "The following repairs should be considered. Replacement of deteriorated sections of the timber decking. Extensive cleaning, painting and greasing of the steel stringers. . . . Supplement the rotting timber bearing planks below the bolster beams."
The 2006 report notes that the "kneebrace at the upstream king post has been broken out and needs replacement."
The town's newest bridge is the Butternut Hill Bridge, built in 1999, which meets all current state and federal standards, although the written report from 2006 notes that the runners are heavily rotted.
The Meadow Road Bridge, built in 1955 and a topic of discussion amongst select board members reviewing the report on April 9, received passing marks for its superstructure and substructure but is deemed to be in 'fair' condition. The railings, transitions and guardrails do not meet the current standards and the deck geometry is reported to be 'intolerable, replacement needed.'
The state report also notes that, with regard to waterway adequacy, there is a 'slight chance of overtopping bridge and roadway.' (See recollection of this bridge, following this story by Mary Alice Bisbee.)
The final bridge reviewed by the state is the bridge on Tremblay Road by the Pines Rest Area. This bridge, built in 1983, meets and exceeds all current standards.

Cities urged to match slower ambulance response
The province is sticking to its contentious decision to stop dispatching ambulances at high speed for less urgent medical calls and municipal fire department first responders are being urged to adopt the same approach.
Officials at B.C. Emergency Health Services have been on the defensive since the November implementation of their new Resource Allocation Plan, which slowed ambulances to posted speeds for dozens of types of routine calls with stable patients.
Ambulance response times have since averaged six minutes slower provincially and 10 minutes slower in the Lower Mainland for the downgraded calls, according to BCEHS, while enabling about one minute faster responses on urgent lights-and-siren emergencies.
Lower Mainland fire chiefs and city councils have denounced the changes as a service reduction and cite extreme delays for ambulances arriving at downgraded calls.
"We're absolutely confident that we're correct in the assignments that we've changed," said Dr. William Dick, interim vice-president of medical programs at BCEHS. "We are getting to sicker patients faster."
He and other officials at a Tuesday media briefing argued against sending municipal first responders at high speed to calls that aren't medically urgent when those firefighters can only provide "comfort care" while waiting longer for ambulance paramedics to arrive under their revised protocol.
First responders are now "unnecessarily" rushing with lights and siren to 35 per cent of their calls, according to George Papadopoulos, quality and safety director at BCEHS.
"That has created a gap in response time that is being used in the media to say there's downloading [of ambulance costs to cities]," he said. "If they implemented the changes that we've implemented for ourselves there would be no gap in the response times. And therefore no argument around downloading."
Cities could save money if they adopted the same rules for their first responders, BCEHS says, and also reduce the risk of crashes between their responding fire trucks and the public.
There were 225 ambulance crashes with the public while lights and sirens were on in the last three years, and passing emergency vehicles are also blamed in other "wake collisions" where other vehicles collide trying to get out of the way.
Although BCEHS could impose the priority changes on first responder dispatch as well, it has said it will abide by the wishes of municipalities.
BCEHS board chair Wynne Powell said he thinks cities will agree to fall in line voluntarily and consultations with them are continuing.
So far 26 out of 160 municipalities consulted by BCEHS have requested more information or raised concerns. Surrey and Vancouver have submitted the most requests for reviews of ambulance call responses.
Powell called reported waits of one hour and more "outliers."
An expert review of the changes is to report next week and BCEHS is pledging ongoing assessments in the months ahead.
NDP health critic Judy Darcy said patient safety has been put at risk, noting calls such as convulsions and electrocution by lightning are among the nearly 30 per cent of trips now downgraded to routine dispatch.
But BCEHS says such characterizations are inaccurate.
Electrocution and motor-vehicle accident calls are broken down to many sub-categories, some of which are dispatched as routine, and others with lights and siren, depending on the information dispatchers receive.
Powell also urged "complacent" motorists to pull over for ambulances now that lights-and-siren responses are reserved for more critical cases.

Mint, sage, rosemary, thyme, horehound, catnip, bee-balm, marjoram, pennyroyal, lemon-balm, hyssop, lavender, dittany and basil (is it BAY-zil or BAAA-zil?): what an aromatic bunch of plants these are! All of these are fragrant members of the widely distributed "mint" family, one of the larger families of flowering plants, with five thousand (or so) different species. This family is known correctly by either of two different names, Lamiaceae or Labiatae, so don't worry, if you prefer saying "Lamiaceae," someone using "Labiatae" in the conversation will know what you mint. (Oops, I meant "meant.") Whichever name you use, this family is rather easily recognized in most cases, its component members having opposite leaves (two at a time) and square stems (in cross section). In addition to the culinary value of this family, many of its members are well-known as popular garden ornamentals. The fragrance (or in some cases, the skunkiness) associated with various members of the mint family usually comes from volatile oils maintained in tiny glands on the surface of the leaves and stems. There are some other characteristics shared by members of this family. For instance, the calyx and corolla are variously tubular, with the flower containing four stamens. (True sage, in the genus Salvia, is an oddball, with only two stamens. The shrubby "sage" or "sage-brushes" in the cowboy movies are actually members of the sunflower family.) The fruits of these plants are tiny, dry, one-seeded nutlets, and each flower's ovary has the potential of producing a maximum of four of them.
Botanists sometimes refer, offhandedly, to members of this family as "mints." It's good to remember, though, that everything in the mint family is not mint. What we call "mint" and what often ends up in juleps and iced tea, belongs to the genus Mentha (there are several dozen species). Similarly, it's also good to know that everything in this family is not particularly fragrant or aromatic. Our Mystery Plant is one of these.
It's an attractive, perennial species, commonly found in a variety of habitats from southern New England through northern Florida, then Texas and Missouri. Here in the Southeast it is frequently seen along roadsides and under powerlines. It grows to be a couple of feet tall, with egg-shaped leaves down below, becoming progressively narrower toward the top of the stem. The calyx of each flower bears a small bump on the upper side, which enlarges dramatically as the flower ages. The corolla is flamboyant, strongly tubular and upturned, flaring out at the top into an upper and lower lip. Corolla color is generally blue, although pink-flowered forms are occasionally encountered. Bees like them. After the flower is pollinated, the colorful corolla will eventually wither and fall away, leaving the calyx. That enlarging bump on the top of the calyx continues to swell, resembling a little hat, and it too eventually pops off, revealing the dark little nutlets inside.

Déjà vu is how one resident described Monday night's discussion regarding deteriorating roads in the Gem Lakes Extension Subdivision.
Huron and Moultrie drives, located in one of the newest portions of Gem Lakes, have both experienced degeneration for several years now, and residents are getting antsy for a solution.
A petition, signed by more than 30 residents living along those two streets, was presented to Aiken City Council Monday evening asking for an independent forensic engineering study to pinpoint the issue causing their roads to crack and crumble.
Those residents are also asking for their road to be as sturdy as the rest of the roads in Gem Lakes and to not resemble "a quilt" like it currently does from patchwork that's been conducted to abate the cracking. Residents said the patches have not worked, and some of those fresh squares of pavement are already beginning to fracture.
"We expected to be protected by the regulations of this city, and we expected those roads would be as satisfactory in a year or two years later as the day we moved in," said Moultrie Drive resident Jim Fairchild. "I don't think that's too high of an expectation for a road."
Developer Steve Kisner said they're working with CSRA Engineering to offer an assessment of the roads and conduct a soil test. Kisner said, once the assessment is complete this spring, work to hopefully resolve the issue will take place over the summer and be done by August.
CSRA Engineering has had prior involvement in this project, so Aiken City Engineering and Utilities Director Larry Morris proposed to have the City's own highway engineers also assess the situation to accomplish the independent study that the residents are requesting.
These roads are currently not owned by the city. Once the repairs are complete including a punch list the city developed, a one-year developer warranty period will begin and once that year passes, the developers can deed the roads to the City of Aiken.
In conclusion of Monday night's discussion, Councilman Reggie Ebner proposed that the city receive a formal update on the progress at the April 22 regularly scheduled meeting.
The roads were originally put in place about four years ago, and residents said that the deterioration has been an issue since the beginning. In August, residents met with City staff and developers Kisner and Todd Gaul, who are working together on this phase of Gem Lakes, in hopes to find the root cause.
Since that meeting in August, the city has conducted ground penetrating radar testing that determined water is under the roads but determined that it was not caused by a broken line or main.
"Near surface groundwater" from rain or irrigation systems could be causing that problem, according to a city email.
The roads are clay and sand-based, which was revised and approved from the original plans that called for stone bedding.
City Manager Richard Pearce said that from the city's research, roads installed in that neighborhood in 1983 and 1992 are also sand and clay-based.
Richard Decker, who also resides on Moultrie Drive, inquired why the city didn't call in performance or maintenance bonds before they expired when the problems began.
Morris said that, when working with a developer like Gaul or Kisner who were willing to address the issue, the city typically does not take that step. The bond was allowed to expire since the developers were actively working to resolve the issue.
A letter of credit was issued by the City of Aiken in 2010 for $106,000 to Gaul and Kisner – Kisner said that they have paid that about that amount in repairs.
Jim Williams, who resides on Moultrie Drive, said that he and his neighbors are not trying to point fingers or blame anyone but the situation itself. He said all they are asking is for some help, guidance and for a solution to the problem of the cracking roads so that they can appreciate the investments they have made in their new homes.
"We ask for your help, we ask for your guidance. For some of us, this all we're going to have. For others, it's a stepping stone," Williams said. "The bottom line is nothing so far has lived up to what we're entitled to."

Sustainability through innovation
By 2050, it is estimated that there will be an additional 3 billion people living on Earth, with 70 percent of the world's population living in cities. In order to support our growing planet and meet the needs of the current generation while preserving the ability of future generations to meet their needs, we must continue on the path toward sustainability through innovation.
History has shown that innovations for sustainability not only improve the health of our environment and communities, but also fuel job creation and economic prosperity. Whether it is through the creation of green jobs, introducing green products to market, or stimulating healthy competition within the private sector, sustainable innovations can help us achieve synergy between environmental protection and economic growth.
The 7th Annual EPA National Sustainable Design Expo and People Prosperity and the Planet (P3) competition, taking place on April 16 - 17, are proof of this concept. P3 is about solving our current and future environmental challenges using innovative designs that work in real-world situations. This year's P3 competition includes 55 teams of more than 400 college and university students who will showcase some of the best new designs and approaches for developing sustainable products and technologies. The projects offer creative solutions to a range of pressing environmental problems; from addressing the quantity and quality of drinking water throughout the world to using sun, wind, and waste to fuel alternative and renewable energy sources. Past P3 award winners have gone on to start new companies, launch non-profit organizations, and develop products for commercial use.
Over the years, the P3 competition has created jobs and helped contribute to a healthier environment. In combination with various innovation efforts within EPA, other Federal Agencies, and the private and academic sectors, the possibilities for sustainable innovation are proving to be limitless.
EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson said it best when she delivered remarks at the National Press Club last year.
"It's time to put to rest the notion that economic growth and environmental protection are incompatible," she said. "It's time to finally dismiss this false choice."
Indeed, every year, by demonstrating that thoughtful design can lead to practical, innovative, and economically viable environmental solutions, P3 participants have continued to help set the record straight."

Regional Academic Center has come a long way from 1991 when a Kent State University professor loaded up his car with textbooks, teaching materials and drove to the Chrysler Stamping Plant in Twinsburg to offer employees an opportunity to take Kent State University courses. Growing enrollment enabled those courses to move to the "Old School" in the heart of the City of Twinsburg. Enrollment continued to grow and course offerings expanded. In addition to the Stamping Plant employees, the public was also welcomed to enroll in classes held at the Center. One staff member from the Geauga Campus was hired to oversee the Center.
Course offerings in 1994 consisted of six classes—Accounting, Business Law & Ethics, Introduction to Computers, Computer Programming, Windows and Networking. Today, the Regional Academic Center offers over one hundred courses in a variety of subjects from biological sciences and chemistry to anthropology and architecture. In fact, the increasing number of course offerings and students once again permitted the Regional Academic Center to change locations. In the Fall of 2012, the new Regional Academic Center on Creekside Drive in Twinsburg opened its doors of a new state-of-the-art facility with over 44,000 square feet to approximately 1000 students.
Even increasing enrollment, the faculty and staff do not want to lose the "Old School" charm. The Regional Academic Center provides a low faculty-to-student ratio. The staff is friendly and helpful. Vania Alvarez-Minah, Enrollment Management and Student Services Advisor, said "It is exciting to work here! The variety of students attending range from recent high school graduates to returning adults working to complete a Bachelor or Associate degree." Students enrolled have an opportunity to earn college credits towards a variety of degrees.

My plane had arrived that morning and I found my way – taxi? Metro? I truly can't remember – back to his house. My trip had been long and tiring, back from deep, dark Africa, and I headed straight for a shower. The house was empty, no one home, so I took my time, pampered myself, hot bath, shampoo… and slipped into my gold satin robe just as he walked in. He had wondered nervously if I would make that decision to return, to join him, doubted that my love was strong enough, real enough to come back. But come back I did. And I walked into his open arms and he wrapped me in his warm embrace, never to let go.
And he had brought me a bouquet of tulips. Yes, I still remember the tulips, orange and red and yellow, wrapped in crisp white paper, fragrant and beautiful. We weren't a couple made for roses. Roses, gorgeous, deep red or pale pink, roses are too traditional, too mundane, a flower one is expected to give to a lover along with diamonds and Champagne. I've always preferred deep, mysterious, blood-red garnets to diamonds, voluptuous, lush peonies or frilly, feminine carnations to roses, a nice, fruity white wine to Champagne. We prefer quiet, out of the way holidays on our own to spending a week at the current hot spot where we can see and be seen, prefer picnics in a vineyard, pulling roasted chicken apart with our fingers and drinking wine straight out of the bottle as Marty dashes in circles around us to a skiing holiday in the Alps. We choose museums and markets, strolling hand in hand through winding, narrow streets, eating in hard-to-find spots with the locals to sun-baked beaches, cruise ship buffets and evenings under strobe lights and pounding music. We are no ordinary couple and the gems, the gifts, the flowers we choose reflect our outlook on life, our unpredictability, a lifestyle some may call bohemian, our romance and passion for life as it is, not as we wish it to be.
On our wedding day, his sister, a gardener and horticulturist by profession, brought us carloads of flowers, purple and blue, cream and pink, roses, yes, but globe thistles and fuchsia, chrysanthemums and irises and more I can't name, and created arrangements, vases and bowls filled with flowers, bouquets bursting forth in wild abandon. Like our untraditional wedding garb, our outrageous, red tartan-clad best man and artistic, gypsy matron of honor, pretty, tame, traditional arrangements just wouldn't suit, just not our style.
When we moved into our first home together, that tiny doll's house of a home sandwiched in between two slightly grander constructions, squeezed in like a second thought, his sister came back and edged our handkerchief-sized lawn with plants, green and bright, and offered us 3 lovely, tiny rose bushes, beautiful, sweet-smelling roses that would burst into bloom in sunshine bright color every spring. Living in that miniature love nest brought us some of our happiest memories, learning to cook in that lovely white, bright kitchen, the French windows thrown open onto our beautiful garden where I could watch the flowers bloom; the walks to the market, coming home, basket brimming over with flowers, tulips, of course, and dahlias and carnations, whatever I chose, to place them lovingly in their vase in the center of my kitchen table to watch me as I cooked, and tiptoeing up that walk to our front door a few months later, another basket in hand filled with bouncing baby boy like a lovely blooming flower himself.
It is an example of the eternal seductiveness of life.
My first love was gardenias, plump, creamy, velvety gardenias, heady with the scent of something exotic and wild, their dark, thick clusters of leaves hinting of the jungle. We lived in a world rich with hibiscus, yellow, red, pink and orange with their colorful, fuzzy pistil bursting proudly from the center. Hibiscus, bright and gaudy, show-offs of the flower world, ostentatious like glittery showgirls, reminding me of old movie Island girls in this tropical climate, the breeze blowing through their hair, huge hibiscus tucked gaily behind one ear. But the gardenia stole my heart. Each morning as I left the house for the day, each afternoon as I arrived back home after school, those two gracious gardenia bushes edging our tiny front porch would greet me with their enveloping fragrance, would draw me towards their lush beauty. I would pause, breath in deeply and all my worries would disappear into the dreamlike quality of these unique, sensual flowers nestled amongst the jade green lushness, otherworldly in their sandy, brown surroundings, pushing back against the stifling hot steaminess of the Florida days.
Flowers are a regular part of our life; flowers filling terra cotta pots lining our Milan terrace, purple and red rhododendrons next to the rosemary and basil accompanied by two pots of gardenias, JP's gift to me, flowers bought at the market, together, on a Sunday morning, wrapped in brown paper, flowers never forgotten on birthdays, Valentine's Day, anniversaries. Cheery bouquets of tulips to brighten up a drab winter day, romantic bunches of peonies adding ardor and warmth to an occasion already brimming over with love, colorful bouquets of fuchsia and tiny carnation buds, sweetpea, amaryllis and freesia, surely signs of friendship, bringing life and joy into our everyday world.
Chilled by this seemingly never-ending winter, bored and frustrated by steel gray skies, greeted every day by bare branches on the trees, bitten by icy winds, Deeba and I decided to look forward towards spring in choosing this month's Mac Attack challenge theme. Our optimism won out, dreaming of warm breezes, fluffy white clouds skidding across bright blue skies, armfuls of colorful flowers, this month's theme was Spring Fling: Creating Macarons Inspired by Spring Flowers. I looked across the table to a vase filled with glorious tulips and was truly inspired. Tulips, a whorl of colors in a dizzy dance of movement, tulips bright yellows and pinks intertwined, I used this challenge to test out a new procedure (thanks to Kim) of coloring and blending batches to create a swirl of color on my macs. Simple macarons, half almond meal, half hazelnut with a thick, rich mascarpone honey cream filling green like the stems of my lovely tulips, delicate in flavor like a light, warm spring breeze.
A special thanks to my new apprentice/assistant Mathilde who came and helped me make these macarons. She was extremely patient, sifting tons of ground nuts, listening to me jabber on about macarons, food blogging, my life, and stayed while I threw together the macaron batter a second time after the first batch failed miserably. But we learned a lot from this experience, understanding the dynamics behind food coloring, dry vs liquid, when to add it into the batter, and mastering the swirl effect. Thank you so much, Mathilde, and I can't wait for you to come back for the next round!
And I didn't even have any food in the house to offer her a decent lunch!
TULIP MACARONS with HONEY-PISTACHIO MASCARPONE CREAM FILLING
Yellow macaron batter :
100 g (3 ½ oz , 1 cup less about 2 Tbs) powdered/confectioner's sugar
55 g (2 oz, 1/3 cup) ground almonds (I used half almonds, half hazelnuts)
15 gr (1 oz, 2 Tbs + ¼ tsp) granulated sugar
45 g (1.6 oz, about 1 ½ ) aged egg whites
1 tsp powdered yellow food coloring (all natural)
Pink macaron batter :
100 g (3 ½ oz , 1 cup less about 2 Tbs) powdered/confectioner's sugar
55 g (2 oz, 1/3 cup) ground almonds (I used half almonds, half hazelnuts)
15 gr (1 oz, 2 Tbs + ¼ tsp) granulated sugar
45 g (1.6 oz, about 1 ½ ) aged egg whites
1 tsp all-natural powdered red food coloring
2-3 drops liquid red food coloring
Prepare 2 large baking sheets. On 2 large pieces of white paper the size of your baking sheets, trace 1 ½ inch-diameter circles (I used the wide end of my pastry tip) evenly spaced, leaving about ¾ - 1 inch between each circle. This will be your template to help you pipe even circles of batter onto the parchment paper. You will be able to reuse these endlessly. Place one paper on each baking sheet then cover with parchment paper. Set aside. Prepare a pastry bag with a plain tip (Ateco #807 or #809).
Sift the powdered sugar, the ground almonds and the powdered food coloring together into two separate mixing bowls, one for each recipe.
In a standing mixer or with a hand mixer, whip the egg whites, again, each measure of 45 grams in a separate bowl (preferably plastic of metal) for 30 seconds on low speed then increase speed to high and whip until the whites are foamy. Gradually add the granulated sugar as you are whipping the whites until you obtain a glossy meringue. Mine was just stiff.
Add a few drops of liquid red food coloring to one bowl of whites which will be folded into the dry ingredients in which you added the red powdered food coloring.
Gently but firmly, using a plastic or silicone spatula, fold about one bowl of whipped whites into each of the powdered sugar/ground almonds mixtures, being careful to fold the pink meringue into the bowl of dry ingredients in which you have added the red food coloring. Fold the whites into the dry, turning the bowl as you lift and fold, scraping up the dry hidden at the bottom, making sure you fold in all the dry ingredients completely. When the batter is ready to pipe, it should be flow from the spatula like lava or a thick ribbon. To test to see if you have folded it enough, drop a small amount onto a clean plate and jiggle it slightly. The top should flatten, not remain in a point. If it doesn't flatten, give the batter a few more folds and test again, but do not overfold or the batter will be too runny.
You can also fold the powdered mixture into the meringue if it is easier for you.
Fill your prepared pastry bag with large dollops of the two batters, alternating blobs of yellow and pink batters without blending the two together. Pipe circles onto the parchment paper, using the traced circles on the template sheets to guide you, holding your pastry bag above each circle and piping into the center. You should have dollops of batter with swirls of the two colors. DO NOT FORGET TO CAREFULLY REMOVE THE WHITE PAPER TEMPLATE FROM UNDERNEATH THE PARCHMENT PAPER. YOU DO NOT WANT THIS TEMPLATE TO GO IN THE OVEN!
Preheat your oven to 280°F (140°C).
Allow the macarons to sit out for 30 minutes to an hour. The top of each shell should form a "skin" (it will feel like it hardened a bit when gently touched). Bake the shells for 15 – 20 minutes, depending on their size (when I touched macs that were not quite done, the top jiggled a bit as if there was still a bit of liquid batter between the top and the "feet" so I let it continue to bake another minute.) I turn the trays back to front halfway through the baking.
Remove the tray from the oven and immediately slide the parchment paper with the shells off of the hot baking sheet and onto a surface, table or countertop. Allow to cool before sliding the shells very gently off of the parchment by slipping a cake spatula under the shell as you lift it up. Be careful or the center of the shell risks sticking to the parchment.
Prepare your filling as your macaron shells cool.
300 g (10.5 oz) mascarpone cheese, preferably at room temperature
60 g (2 oz) orange-blossom honey (or your favorite liquid honey)
2 egg yolks
50 g (1.8 oz) finely ground pistachio nuts, or to taste
Beat the egg yolks together with the honey until well blended. Add the mascarpone and continue beating for a couple of minutes until light, fluffy and creamy. Fold in the ground pistachio nuts.
If the cream seems a bit too soft to pipe out and to sandwich between two shells, simply chill in the refrigerator until firm.
Finish your macarons :
Pair the macaron shells in shape and size. Pipe a dollop of Honey-Pistachio Mascarpone Cream onto the bottom shell of each pair and place the second shell on top.

NEWPORT–To say the last two weeks have been interesting ones for the North Country Falcon football team would be a bit of an understatement.
First, they put to bed a two-year winless drought when they defeated the Lyndon Institute Vikings in the Maple Barrel Bowl.
Less then a week later they were forced to cancel their game against Burr and Burton because of an outbreak of Hand Foot and Mouth Disease, which also caused practices to be scrapped as well.
NEWPORT–The North Country girls soccer team was in action on Friday afternoon, as they played host to the Burlington Seahorses.
The Falcons had their chances, but in the end could not find the back of the net as they fell by the score of 3-0 to drop to 3-1-1 on the season.
"This is the level that we play at, the Metro, and we know that we have to play up to that level," said NCU coach Jose Batista. "I think having a week off didn't help us, I don't care what anybody says, that game would have helped us, but we didn't have it and it was nobody's fault."
CRAFTSBURY-The Craftsbury Chargers played host to the Concord Wildcats on Thursday afternoon, and right from the start fans could tell it was going to be a good game for the home team.
Craftsbury scored twice in the opening two minutes en route to picking up a 5-0 win to move to 5-1 on the year.
"It was a good game for us," said CA coach Mike Reutz. "We possessed the ball well and we did the things that we do in practice, which is huge, it is a big step. It was also nice to get some of our second string players into the game and get their confidence up where it needs to be."
ORLEANS-The Lake Region Rangers put their 4-0 record on the line Wednesday afternoon as they welcomed in the Peoples Academy Wolves one day after the LR girls did the same.
Tuesday saw the Lady Rangers lose their undefeated streak in a close 2-1 loss.
On Wednesday the tides would change, as Riley Urie's game winner with 2:30 left to go in the second gave the Rangers a 2-1 victory and bumped up their record to 5-0 on the year.
ORLEANS–The Lake Region Lady Rangers put their undefeated streak on the line when they hosted the Peoples Academy Wolves on Wednesday afternoon.
It would be a challenging afternoon for the Lady Rangers, as they are pretty banged up and were forced to move a lot of players around to unfamiliar positions.
With that being said, the Wolves would be one goal better on this day, and the Lady Rangers lost their first match of the season 2-1.
NEWPORT-The outbreak of Hand, Foot and Mouth disease continues to be a problem for the North Country athletic department.
Tuesday's varsity soccer games against the Lyndon Institute Vikings have been canceled, as have the jv games scheduled for Wednesday.
Wednesday's varsity field hockey game against Milton has also been canceled.
No make-up dates for any of the contests have been announced as of this writing.
The games were canceled because the visiting schools did not want to send their kids up to Newport for fear of catching the highly contagious disease.
NCU 2, Montpelier 0
MONTPELIER–The North Country Falcons field hockey team kept their winning streak rolling on Saturday, as they picked up a shut-out win over the Montpelier Solons on Saturday afternoon.
"It was a great game," said NC coach Chantelle Bouchard. "There was quite a bit of rain falling, but we dominated the whole game. It was a huge team effort."
Kaitlyn Young scored in the first half to open up the scoring and giving the Falcons a 1-0 lead.
Adrianna Fournier had the assist on the goal.
Reporting for NCU cross country at the Burlington Invitational at not-so-sunny North Beach in Burlington, VT.
The day started with overcast skies, light winds and temps in the 50s that changed to drizzle by the boys varsity race (And then let go with a steady rain following the award ceremony).
Note on the course – it was advertised as a "fast and flat" course – it left out the half-mile hill at the start of the race, a gravel hill stretch and the fact that the course was a bit long this year, so basically not so fast nor flat.
NEWPORT–After a slow start in the first half, the North Country field hockey team picked up their pace in the second and went on the attack, scoring two goals in twenty-three minutes to pick up the 2-0 win over the Lyndon Institute Vikings.
"We finally woke up," said NCU coach Chantelle Bouchard, referring to the difference in play between the first and the second half. "They were real flat in the beginning and we just could not get anything in the goal."
As the coach said, things were a little flat in the first half.
DERBY-The North Country Falcons held their annual home cross country meet on Wednesday afternoon, but this year it came with a little twist.
Known in years past as just the home cross country meet, this year the team re-branded the event as the Kingdom Cup.
"The Kingdom Cup is a lead in to leagues," said NCU coach Chris Shaffer. "We needed more competition up here and it is great to have more numbers for competition. Hopefully we can keep this tradition going."
With the re-branding came a new course design that will allow for a little more flexibility with course length.

- Financial sophistication in the older population (2012)
- This paper examines data on financial sophistication among the U.S. older population, using a special-purpose module implemented in the Health and Retirement Study. We show that financial sophistication is deficient for older respondents (aged 55+). Specifically, many in this group lack a basic grasp of asset pricing, risk diversification, portfolio choice, and investment fees. Subpopulations with particular deficits include women, the least educated, persons over the age of 75, and non-Whites. In view of the fact that people are increasingly being asked to take on responsibility for their own retirement security, such lack of knowledge can have serious implications.
- Financial literacy among the young: evidence and implications for consumer policy (2010)
- We examined financial literacy among the young using the most recent wave of the 1997 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. We showed that financial literacy is low; fewer than one-third of young adults possess basic knowledge of interest rates, inflation, and risk diversification. Financial literacy was strongly related to sociodemographic characteristics and family financial sophistication. Specifically, a college-educated male whose parents had stocks and retirement savings was about 45 percentage points more likely to know about risk diversification than a female with less than a high school education whose parents were not wealthy. These findings have implications for consumer policy. JEL Classification: D91

I was diagnosed with antiphospholipid syndrome at 22 weeks with my first pregnancy in 2006. I had early onset pre eclampsia and HELLP syndrome, and delivered a 600g little boy at 25 weeks.
I fell pregnant again with #2 in June 2007 and was immediately placed on 1 x Clexane (LW heparin) until I reached about 9 weeks. This was increased to 2 x 40mg injections Clexane for the duration of the pregnancy.
I delivered a 2.9kg healthy girl at 37.5 weeks on 26 February 2008, after sudden rise in BP 170/110 and 3+++ protein.
My question is about the side effects of the Clexane?
I am now down to one Clexane a day (I am 3 weeks post partum), however, I managed to split one tooth right down the middle in November 2007 (about 28 weeks pregnant).
I seem to have done exactly the same with a second tooth during the last week. (2 weeks post partum).
I wonder if this weakening of teeth can be attributed to the Clexane?
Thank you

By Rudi WilliamsAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, May 1, 2000 Former boxer and trainer Odell Williams was a realistic young man. "Kid Odell" knew he would never win many bouts, much less be a contender for the welterweight title.
Other than the fight game, "Kid Odell" said he was like a lot of young people in Depression-era 1936, "just out there not knowing what to do with themselves." He made his amateur boxing debut at 14 and had won only nine professional fights when he quit at age 23.
"I tried hard, but I wasn't good enough," said Williams, an 87-year-old resident of the Naval Home in Gulfport, Miss. "I joined the Navy after I discovered I'd just be an average fighter, maybe end up being punch drunk." He opted for another living -- in the U.S. Navy.
Williams became interested in becoming a sailor at an exposition in San Diego when he saw three petty officers, two African Americans and one white, decked out in crisp Navy uniforms with gold chevrons, "hash marks" and buttons. He was mesmerized by their appearance and wanted to be just like them.
"I asked them about the Navy, and they said, 'You can't get into the Navy now; you can't be like us," Williams said. But he was so intrigued by them that he ignored their discouraging comments and started searching for ways to get into the Navy. The young pugilist didn't understand racism -- he'd grown up in a Los Angeles neighborhood where his was one of only two African American families, but everybody got along well and looked out for each other.
"Everybody went to school and played together -- Italian, Jewish, whites and blacks," he noted. "If you were out on the streets after nine o'clock, an adult would want to know why you were out there that time of night."
Williams was told the Navy only accepted African Americans for its steward service. That didn't deter him. He joined the Navy on May_7, 1936, as one of 12 African Americans from the Los Angeles area selected for an integrated boot camp training program.
"It was an experiment, trying to get blacks back into Navy jobs other than servitude positions -- cooks, stewards and shining officers' shoes and brass," he said. "A lot of people were not aware of this because the Navy was very secretive about it. It was too explosive to go public at the time."
Williams' bout with integration in the Navy was short- lived. After boot camp, he and the other African Americans went aboard the battleship USS Texas and headed for Unit K- West U.S. Naval Training Station, Naval Operating Base, Norfolk, Va. -- for training as cooks and stewards.
"That's when we were introduced to segregation," Williams said.
Before retiring with more than 20 years' service, Williams served with Fighting Squadron Six aboard the carrier USS Enterprise; the oiler USS Salamonie; general stores issue ship USS Acubens; the former ocean liner President Jefferson, renamed the attack transport USS Henry T. Allen; attack transport USS Noble; cruiser USS Des Moines; and at Naval Operating Base Argentia, Newfoundland, Canada.
A world war and a manpower shortage during World War II forced the Navy to change it ways and accept African Americans in general service, the Marine Corps and Coast Guard on April 7, 1942. Williams credits President and Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt and educator Mary McLeod Bethune with spearheading the changes.
During World War II, Williams was a steward aboard the USS Enterprise, which he calls one of the greatest ships in the Navy at that time. When fighting erupted, he said, his battle station was "pyrotechnic engineer" -- "fuzing bombs and making smoke."
"The only other thing I did was work as a storekeeper," he said. "They forgot about you being a steward in those days." The only thing that mattered, he said, was whether you could do the job -- whatever was needed at the time.
Williams still treasures his service aboard the Enterprise as his best career memories. "I'll never forget how the guys cooperated -- no color line or any of that stuff," he said. "You went to your battle station, no matter what your special duties were. Discipline was hard."
He said he'll also never forget what happened when he went aboard the heavy cruiser USS Des Moines in 1950 as a young chief petty officer. That's a bad memory.
When he reported aboard, his belongings were supposed to be taken to the chief's quarters, but he found them in a passageway. Williams rushed back to the quarterdeck and asked the messenger, "Sailor, where did you put my gear?"
"In the chief's quarters," the messenger answered.
Bypassing the officer of the deck, Williams complained to the executive officer, who told him, "We're not having any trouble on this ship, so we're going to give you a billet in officer's country."
"I told him, 'I'm not an officer,' and asked to see the commanding officer," Williams said. "The captain called all the chiefs together and asked, 'Who set Chief Williams' gear out in the passageway?'
"A chief bosun's mate from South Carolina yelled, 'I did, cap'n. I haven't slept with them all these years and I'm not going to sleep with them now.'
"No one else said anything," Williams recalled. "The captain told the chief, 'You take your gear and go down to the first class quarters.'"
Later, the chief made the mistake of picking a fight with the former pugilist.
"I did a pretty good job on him," Williams said. "He told everybody he fell down a hatch. About a month later, he came to talk to me and turned out to be my best friend. He said he thought all black people didn't do a damn thing in South Carolina but get drunk on Saturdays. That was the impression he had of me.
"Not all of the white people were bad. There were a lot of good people in the Navy, but a lot of them wanted to hold that tradition they had years ago -- whites only," he said.
"My father-in-law was Caucasian and his grandfather owned slaves in Georgia," said Williams, who hasn't seen his wife for nearly 20 years and doesn't have any children. "He treated me better than my own father. Sometimes you meet good people, no matter what their background."
Williams said he was involved in many battles, including the Battle of Midway aboard the Enterprise, but the only time he was wounded was when enemy rounds slammed into the USS Salamonie. He suffered shrapnel wounds, but refused treatment because "there were people laying on the deck."
"I didn't get a Purple Heart because I didn't ask for one -- the medal didn't matter to me," he noted.
Williams is incensed about the way World War II veterans were treated. He doesn't think they've ever received the credit they deserve.
"It bothers me to hear people going ape about the Korean War, Vietnam War and Desert Storm," he said. "If it hadn't been for the guys in World War II, they wouldn't have been around for Korea, Vietnam or Desert Storm. We made it possible for them.
"Why are they just beginning to recognize the guys who fought in World War II?" he asked. "Hell, most of them are dead. I'm 87 years old. I don't need their help anymore."
In nearly the same breath, Williams said, "This country has its drawbacks, but it's the greatest country in the world."
After retiring from the Navy in January 1956, Williams spent about five years in special security for the Los Angeles Water and Power Department before getting into the entertainment business as a master of ceremonies, singer and piano player.
Years later, he got into trouble with the Internal Revenue Service and decided to seek shelter at the Naval Home. One of the first questions he asked when he inquired about his eligibility was: "Is the home segregated?"
"No, it isn't," the woman on the telephone answered.
"How many nonwhites do you have living there?" Williams asked.
"Four," the woman said.
Williams could hardly believe that. He accepted the woman's invitation to visit and assess the home in person. He liked what he saw and became a resident in August 1993. Even today, only five of the more than 440 residents of the home are African American.
Though retirees from all services are eligible to live at the home, the residents are mostly sailors and Marines, Williams noted. For that reason, he surmises that most of the residents are from World War II and the Korean War, and there weren't many blacks in the Navy in those days.
He also said speculated that many African Americans might not want to live in Mississippi, but he said major changes in race relations have occurred there in past years. For example, Williams takes pride in being invited to schools to talk to students about his military and life experiences. He's particularly proud because the majority of the students he speaks to are white, and he treasures the many letters of thanks they write to him.
He said he's proud because, "Back then, it was unheard of for a black man to go into a school and talk to white kids.
"When I'm invited to talk to kids, I stress discipline and ask them to define it for me to get them involved," Williams said. "I talk about self-esteem and tell them if you don't think something of yourself, who is going to think anything of you? I talk about objectives, cooperation and how to get along with people and be responsible. And I tell them they should respect others as you respect yourself and forget racism. And forget peer pressure; if you have an idea, speak up about it."
He tells the kids and anybody else who will listen: "The Navy and I grew up together and learned to respect each other."
His impression of living at the retirement home is: "This is like heaven for me," Williams said.

Is Everything Possible In Bodybuildng??
We learned on ABC that a bodybuilder has no limits, a bodybuilder must go beyond genetic limitation and that the only limits there is, are the ones you apply upon yourself.
With this set of ideas being our mentality on ABC, can we actually apply it on reality, to do anything to our bodies??
I mean, can I turn into a massive freak like Ronnie Coleman without taking drugs, by denying my genetic limitations??
If we have no limits, can we add pounds of mass in a day, or lose pounds of fat in another??
I've been woking with the no limits mentality from the day I started working out till today, but then those questions hit my mind when my goals started to expand. Are these sayings that cannot come to reality?? So I'm looking for some feedback from you guys.
Re: Is Everything Possible In Bodybuildng??
Great question!
I do not believe that your body building goals can be so fragmented, i.e. "I'm going to be bigger than Ronnie".
Achieving your best takes planning, patience, and experience. This is true for anything you want to do with excellence.
You have to plan or you will become discouraged. "Failing to plan is planning to fail".
If you truly want to maximize your bodybuilding potential, you must define a mission and vision for your bodybuiding career.
Your vision is the grand purpose for doing what you're doing. Its the point from which everything else should emerge.
Your mission is the path you take to achieve your vision. It is typically defined by a set of goals. I like to think of it as a timeline of events.
For example, my vision might be, "To attain a freaky physique of 200lb @ 8% body fat, drug-free, in three years".
My mission may be "adding eight lean pounds of muscle over the course of one year, while always being able to see my abs".
Next I would set goals and milestones that would define the success of my mission. This portion needs a lot of detail. This would include, bulking and cutting cycles, workout routines, accumulating knowledge, etc. Everything it will take to achieve my mission statement.
Hers is the key, I recommend using the SMART method when setting goals.
The goal must be identified clearly. When will the goal be achieved (a exact date)? How will it be achieved exactly?
This is where a lot of people are fragmented. They set a goal such as "To get cut". This is way too vauge. You need specific shorter term goals that clearly indicate you are fulfilling your mission.
You must be able to measure the success with available data. Setting a goal of "being 200lbs" is not specific enough. That is a good mission, but not measurable enough to be a goal. You would want to lay out how much you will gain over a bulk cycle for example, and how many calories you will consume daily, etc.
The Hyperplasia contestants and regular journalers on ABC are experts at this.
The goal must be challenging, but still achievable. If you set a goal that is unrealistic, or more to the point, that you believe is unachievable, you will fail.
Further, if you are an beginner bodybuilder, its unrealistic to set goals that only an advanced bodybuilder could achieve. If your goals are planned well you should be able to see a succession of smaller goals that will realistically lead to accomplishing your mission.
In most cases you will know if it is realistic or not. Setting ambiguous, unrealistic goals is not going to impress anyone, but only lead to disappointment.
The goals should be relevant to your mission and vision. That's the whole point, to ge to the vision. But occassionally a bodybuilder will get excited about an opportunity that doesn't coorelate to their vision. This will consume resources, time, and energy and detract from the original vision.
A goal is trackable if you can establish milestones to track progress toward the goal. This enables you to monitor progress.

Re: Is Everything Possible In Bodybuildng??
OS, thanks a ton for this awesome reply. You can't imagine how those words helped me, not only in bodybuilding, but everything else in my life too.
Thanks alot, bro.
Re: Is Everything Possible In Bodybuildng??
Glad it helped bro. This was a great question. I look forward to other people's responses.
In a future JHR I'll expand on these concepts and make templates to help assist in laying out a good mission statement.

Mitzvot: A Mitzvah Is a Commandment
We Also Recommend
One often hears someone Jewish saying, "It's a mitzvah!" usually referring to a charitable, beneficial act performed by another person. However, while its Yiddish parallel "mitzveh" does have this connotation, the Hebrew word mitzvah does not mean "a good deed" in that sense. Mitzvah literally means "commandment." In fact, Jewish tradition understands exactly 613 mitzvot (plural of mitzvah) to be derived from the Hebrew Bible. It is not simply a "good deed," for example, to refrain from murdering or stealing. And similarly, the mitzvot which deal with feeding the poor, acting kindly to the stranger, or observing the Sabbath are much more significant in the Jewish tradition than mere divine suggestions on how to be good. Mitzvot are commandments, traditionally understood to come from God and to be intended for the Jewish people to observe.
Those of us who live in the western world are often uncomfortable with the idea of being "commanded" to do something, because it seems to deprive us of the right to choose how we behave. In fact, the Torah itself says that when God gave the commandments, God declared, "Behold, I have set before you the blessing [of observing the commandments] and the curse [the potential punishment for failing to observe the mitzvot]–therefore, choose life!" It seems that even God recognized that the Jews had a choice in the matter– and was clearly hinting at the right choice.
But why should the biblical Israelites have bothered to accept and observe the mitzvot? After God rescued the Jewish people from slavery in Egypt, God expected that the Israelites would in turn observe the mitzvot in eternal, loving gratitude for this redemption. Yet, gratitude only goes so far, especially when it comes to observing such commandments as keeping kosher (dietary) laws or Shabbat (resting and not working on the Sabbath day). For the past three thousand or so years, every generation of Jews, rabbis, and scholars, has analyzed and argued about exactly why the Jewish people should continue to observe the mitzvot.

+1 on the hot soapy water. The water removes the potassium chloride from the spent primer (salt, the corrosive part), the soap cleans some of the spent powder residue, and the hot makes it dry faster.
The Windex thing came up when guys wanted something for use at the range, for a quick clean and oil before packing up for home. Ammonia doesn't "neutralize" anything, the potassium salt left by shooting ammo primed with corrosive primers is the product of the neutralization of an acid and a base, it can't be neutralized, only dissolved. Ammonia DOES act like a soap, makes water wetter to dissolve and clean better. You could use soapy water as well. Just make sure the bore is dry and oiled after.
Hoppe's works not so much in neutralizing but in cleaning. Clean the corrosive crap out of the bore, it doesn't matter how, dry the bore if wet, and oil. Done deal.
