For the most part, these questions have been asked of me at one point or another. However, there are a few questions that will contain spoilers for present/future chapters in Sailor Tiger's story.
Who is Sailor Mau?
Sailor Mau is the guardian soldier of the planet Mau; the very same planet the Luna, Artemis and Sailor Tin Nyanko came from. She never made an official appearance in either the manga or anime, but was mentioned once in the manga. According to the manga (or at least what I was told was in the original manga) Tin Nyanko defeated Sailor Mau, stole Mau's Sailor Crystal/Starseed in hopes to become a real sailor soldier herself. A Chaos infused Sailor Galaxia came to and conquered the planet Mau, captured Tin Nyanko and made her an Anima-Mate all the while taking Sailor Mau's Starseed from Tin Nyanko with the false promise that if Tin Nyanko worked for her, Galaxia would turn Tin Nyanko into a true sailor soldier.
Since there were no official pictures, stats and the like for Sailor Mau, with the suggestion from a good friend of mine, I decided to make Sailor Tiger's ultimate form Sailor Mau in this timeline.
{To The Top }
Is Sailor Mau real?
Yes, Sailor Mau is real within the Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon (Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon) universe. She is mentioned in the manga. However, my representation of Sailor Mau is purely fictitious since there is no other reference (visual, audio or otherwise stated) of her besides that small mention in the manga.
Is Sailor Tiger real?
My version of Sailor Tiger is only real on this site and in my mind. Otherwise, no. She has no official status within the official Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon/Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon realm.
Who is the Crown Princess of planet Mau?
Some background information may be required for this. In the manga 'Codename wa: Sailor V there is a character called Nyan-Nyan, who is part of a villainous trio working for the Dark Agency (a subsidiary of the Dark Kingdom). Her other two cohorts are Wan-Wan (who can turn into a small 'Scottie' dog) and Chuu-Chuu (who is roughly the size of a mosquito with mosquito wings to boot). The trio call each other their siblings.
Nyan-Nyan also calls herself the princess of the 'cat planet'. In the Sailor V manga, the 'cat planet' was never given a name... but in the 'Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon' manga, it's said that Luna, Artemis and the Anima-Mate Sailor Tin Nyanko [and by some standards Diana, even if she was more than likely born on Earth] were from the [cat] planet Mau, I decided to take some scattered ideas between the two manga and merge them together. Technically I didn't put Nyan-Nyan's name in there, but it's to be assumed that Nyan-Nyan is the Crown Princess of planet Mau...at least she was way back when in the timeline that is wrote and posted on this site.
Who is Sailor Wan? Is she real?
Sailor Wan is the sailor soldier of her planet Wan. Wan is the planet where guardian dogs come from to help guide sailor soldiers. It (the planet) is located within the Sirius System. Sailor Wan was captured and brainwashed by Sesmar who made her believe that her loyalties lied with him and him alone.
As for if she's real, like my version of Sailor Tiger, she's real to me but she isn't in any version of Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon/Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon.
You have Sailor Mau. Will you have Sailor Coronis or any others that were killed by the Anima-Mates?
In all honesty, I don't really know. I'd like to come up with a Sailor Coronis, Sailor Chuu, Sailor Mermaid and/or some others to have a more filled out/complete set. However, I'm currently up to three sailor soldiers (Tiger/Mau, Wan and Draconis) at the moment and the story hasn't even included two of them yet, much less had the first one get past the concept that yes, she is a sailor soldier even if she's a little to much into the denial stage.
Why does Abenti have so many forms?
Well, she didn't start out having so many forms...but I couldn't bring myself to getting rid of the forms she had when I decided to add a new form. She originally had three forms: Human, tiger and (normal) senshi. Then came the Eternal form. After that came Sailor Mau. I could have dropped the Eternal Sailor Tiger form right then and there...but then a plot twist formed and there it stuck.
Why was Sailor Mau's Starseed not sent back to planet Mau when (supposedly) all others were?
That happened solely because when I started writing the story, Sailor Mau wasn't part of the picture. Abenti's final form was going to stop at Eternal Sailor Tiger. But like lots of things, the storyline changed except for the fact that I couldn't bring myself to move Abenti back to planet Mau (until the end of the current storyline).
Which version of Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon is used in the storyline?
It's actually a combination of both the anime and manga. I referenced the fourth season of the anime (Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon SuperS) where Tiger's Eye, Hawk's Eye and Fish Eye are taken by Helios to Elysion to await the right time (or something like that according to my copy of the season) and from the manga I used Luna, Artemis and Diana's ability to easily shift from feline to human forms and most of the planet Mau/Sailor Mau/Tin Nyanko connection that was stated in the Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon StarS season.
What is an Ethereal Shabti?
An Ethereal Shabti is a celestial figurine that each sailor soldier has. It represents the sailor soldier's guardian spirit and contains their ability to be reborn into the next life. Normal humans have a Shabti too, just not an Ethereal Shabti, as each Ethereal Shabti is connected to their specific sailor soldier mentally as well as genetically, causing the sailor soldier to be reborn genetically the same as they were in their past life. The mental connection between the sailor soldier and their prospective Ethereal Shabti allows the Ethereal Shabti to store away memories of the past until they are needed.
When will the next chapter be wrote?
It's in the process of being wrote now. Unfortunately, I have no idea exactly when it'll be finished and added to the site.
May I draw a piece of fan art of Sailor Tiger/other character on this site?
I don't see why anyone would feel the need to ask, although I suppose it's the nice thing to do. But by all means, yes! I love fan art. You'll find my e-mail address on the Contact page.

Hi all,
My "Introduction to Jewellery Making" Workshops have been going very well and I have a few places left on the next one which will be held on Saturday, May 26th in the Clarion Hotel, Liffey Valley from 10am until 12.45pm
At my workshops students learn the basic skills required to make jewellery and by the end will have created their own necklace, bracelet and earrings with a retail value of over €70.
The classes are small so there is plenty of opportunity for one-to-one tuition and I'm hoping that the skills learned will encourage students to continue making their own pieces. All equipment and materials will be supplied as well as notes with jewellery terms, tips and the best places to get the best value beads
The price for the workshop is €50 which also includes tea, coffee and refreshments. As there is limited availability I will need a €20 deposit to secure each place. This can be paid by paypal, cheque or postal order.
Please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com for more info or to book a place...
Thanks a mill,

I am so happy for Dr. Mevs! He is a terrific doctorwho has been supportive of my son and advocated on his behalf. Congratulations, Dr. Mevs!
The question would be, what isn't my favorite Bon Jovi song and the answer would be "none". I love them all. I'm a huge Bon Jovi fan for over 25 years, I love their music and am very disappointed that they're going on a 2 year hiatus. :(
Great pic of Katan Ave but what about the streets around hit? If you drive down Giffords Lane, all the other side streets are plowed in. The snow is about 3 feet high and the residents can't get out. I'd love to see a side-by-side pictures of Katan and those blocks! It's a disgrace!
Dancermom, not all of the kids at IS/PS 25 get yellow bus service. My son used to take the train and was harassed by these students as well. A few times he and his friends were smacked around and he'd have to get off the train. Fortunately, my son is in h.s. now and doesn't have to go near that school. I read in the Advance a few months ago that one woman at the train station was almost raped and the kid took her Ipod. She was able to identify the teenager. Guess what, he went to that school. The authorities need to get a better handle on that situation.
I was wondering when someone was going to do the math. Metro cards & extra public buses for kids who should be taking the yellow bus. Jeezzz, nobody realized it would cost more to cut the buses. A bunch of morons!
I thought the chorus did an excellent job! I saw this on channel 7 news on Monday and was very impressed. I don't think that Survivor would be impressed as well!
I was in lower Manhattan after 9/11, I had no way of knowing if my child was ok. I was in NYC when the oil tanker here blew up, I was in NYC during the blackout, and many other traumatic situations. I need to know that my son is ok and that he can reach me in case of an emergency. Most recently, there was a power outage on the SIRR after a man got hit by a train and my son needed to find another way to get to school. I was just a phone call away.
For me personally, I grew up in Brooklyn and on more than one occassion had been approached by men trying to get me into their car. I remember one situation where a man walked into our apartment building out took one of my friends (a boy) by the hand and walked out with him. Fortunately, they found my friend ok.
To kissthehong - you raise your kid the way you want, I'll raise mine. When my son is an adult and still alive & in one piece, I'll know that I did the right thing.
I wish I hnew about a protest because I would be there with bells on and cellphone in hand! This is ridiculous. It doesn't matter how often the cellphone is used in case of an emergency but rather that these kids have them in case there is an emergency. My son is 13 years old and takes the train to school everyday. He calls me when he's alone or sometimes afraid so I stay with him on the phone. I get a text when he's outside school everymorning, "i'm at school" and the phone goes off. Then he calls me to tell me either that he's home or he's gotten delayed & missed the train or wants to stay after with friends. As long as the phone is OFF in school and it's not being used inappropriately, I have no problem with this and I'll take on the mayor, the chancellor and even the NYPD if they have a problem with it. Let Mayor Moneybags take my son to school everyday if he wants but this is the only way I can for now. So, tough nugggies.
I agree, a totally beautiful and classy response.
How does one tell the difference between a SI girl and a NJ girl? Can they tell from the way we look? Were these women wearing signs on their foreheads?
Dozer and his staff are the best. I wouldn't go anywhere else.
Birth control for the foul. Cracks me up!
I know it's a serious issue. I've been plagued by the turkeys myself. I just found this amusing and couldn't help myself.
Melissa, that was hysterical! I think we've all had those moments.
I think most of you are missing the point here, it's not a racist issue. It's not a black vs. white or south shore vs. north shore issue. It's the size of the venue and ensuring the safety of all - including the people who live here. 50 Cent is a big headliner. When was the last time any of you were in Illusions? It's a small room. Anytime I've been there, it's been standing room only. There will be overcrowding inside and outside. Parking stinks in that area, traffic is horrible on any given day. I hate going to the mall or even leaving my house on the weekends, Staten Island is a mess. I have no problem with rappers coming to my town, I do have a problem crowd control. Personally, I think the promoters of this event should have looked at a larger venue.
And for the record, I am white, my son does listen to rap but I will never let him near Illusions next weekend.
I won't even be able to get near my house. What were they thinking, Illusions won't be able to handle the crowd. What am I saying? GK won't be able to handle the crowds!!!
The traffic conditions on that bridge are out of control. Not to mention which level you have to be on depends on whether you're exiting or staying on the SIE. It's a mess!
Personally, I have a fear of bridges. It takes a lot for me to drive over it, which I do but it's worse when traffic comes to a stop. Going on the upper level is just torture for me. Talk about anxiety attacks....
Lane Music has a problem with "his kind?" The "normal visitor?" How dare anyone with a heart use terms like that? I hope Mr. Wilcov never had to deal with a disability or discrimmination like this! Personally, I wouldn't darken the doorstep of Lane Music and recommend that others take their business elswhere!
I was just there yesterday and was not impressed. Service was fine but the food left something to be desired. All I had was a burger and it was undercooked. I asked for medium-well, hoping for atleast medium but when I cut my burger and it bled, that's just gross. Again, I didn't have a problem with service, in fact it was excellent.
I have fond memories of The Lehman, the John F. Kennedy, and the American Legion. I agree, they should not be sold for scrap metal they are a part of history!

The Office of the Controller, Financial Services is changing its structure and the way it supports the community. Over the last few months the Office of the Controller, Financial Services has completed an organizational design review. This process was achieved through consultation with the Financial Services staff and representatives from the community, discussions and benchmarking with other Ontario universities, and support from the Organizational Development and Learning Unit in Human Resources.
In response to the feedback we have had through this process from members of the community, we are working towards:
We are reorganizing our work to enable us to change the way we support the community, to continue to be successful in meeting our regulatory reporting deadlines, and to provide additional focus on leadership and internal control within the department. Balancing the competing demands of our core activities is often challenging and we will continue to strive to strike an effective balance within the overall context of the University.
It will take us some time to fully implement all of these changes. We invite you to visit the Financial Services website where you will find our new organization structure. We will continue to refine this information over the next few months to provide additional information on who to call for what.
Kindest Regards,
Queen's Financial Services

Riviera Summer: Dressing For The Med
Summer is well and truly upon us at last, and with it our attention turns to taking a break from the familiar nine-to-five rituals and heading off for some well-deserved 'r and r'. But how do we ensure that our style standards don't slip along with our levels of productivity whilst away?
Popular for decades with sun-starved Europeans, the French and Italian Rivieras burst into life during the summer months, proving an irresistible draw for stressed-out urbanites. Bathed in sunshine and glamour, this sleek corner of the Mediterranean has inspired a sartorial legacy synonymous with well-heeled elegance that will keep your style credentials in check.
The Origins Of Riviera Fashion
The origins of Riviera style stem from the 1920s and 1930s, when sunbathing and sport became fashionable pastimes. At this time of great social upheaval, the European smart set began to flock to the cities of Nice, Marseille and Cannes on the French Riviera, and to Portofino and San Remo on the Italian side.
With this influx of travellers from cooler climes, fashion required alteration to suit the warmer conditions. Heavy wools and dark business dress were swapped for lightweight linens and cottons in neutral shades. With the rising popularity of yachting and water-based pursuits, maritime-inspired dress heavily influenced Riviera style; this was the birth of modern resort wear.
Whilst the decades past have seen the style adapt with the times, the fundamental elements of Riviera dressing endure, and maintain an ageless sophistication today.
In this article, we take a look at how the modern man can successfully execute a refined look that will stretch beyond the confines of the beaches of Cannes and grand salons of Monte Carlo…
Whilst it may be tempting in warmer climes to lose all your layers, certain occasions call for a more formal dress code. Tailoring for Mediterranean resorts should consist of unlined, summer-weight linen and cotton jackets and relaxed fit, single pleat trousers. Garments in seersucker fabric are also worthy of consideration.
A cooling effect can be achieved with tailoring if the correct materials and pieces are chosen; layer a thin unlined jacket over a simple cotton tee or slim-fitting white shirt. Opt for tailoring in light and neutral shades to avoid absorbing extra heat from sunlight.
To forego a tie is acceptable nowadays, except perhaps at the most formal events. If the rest of your attire is respectably smart, a tie will not be missed. In its absence, introduce a simple silk or ivory lace pochette to your breast pocket to add interest.
Summer tailoring can now be found everywhere, from high-end houses to high street retailers, and will become a versatile investment for your next jaunt around the Med. Some key labels to look out for include Gieves & Hawkes, Hackett and Mr. Rick Tailor, whilst Topman and Reiss provide more wallet friendly options.
Lookbook Inspiration
Key Pieces
- J.crew Grey Ludlow Striped Cotton Suit Jacket
- River Island Stone Lightweight Blazer
- Topman Cream Multi Fleck Suit Jacket
- Hackett Ascot Fine-stripe Blazer 147406
- Vito Seersucker Blazer
- Mr. Rick Tailor Vintage Jacquard Single-breasted Jacket 148341
- Asos Slim Fit Blazer In Oxford
- Brooks Brothers Cotton-linen Single-breasted Jacket 146372
- River Island Light Pink Double Button Oxford Blazer
Warmer climates provide the opportunity to dress down. It should be remembered that if a simple t-shirt is the primary component of an outfit, then quality should always be the first factor of consideration when building the look. Opt for high-grade organic cotton tees that will wash well and also remain cool due to their absence of synthetic fibres.
Brands such as American Vintage, COS and Acne provide an array of high-quality basics that will serve as a strong foundation to your Riviera wardrobe. Basic, solid-tone tees can also be easily dressed up by pairing with a tailored jacket and smart chinos.
The polo shirt comes into its own in the Mediterranean, with the light material and short-sleeve construction helping maintain a comfortable body temperature, whilst the collar can provide protection for the neck in direct sunlight. Synonymous with 1950s nonchalance, the polo is a core element in the Riviera portfolio and has remained a failsafe summer style.
Sunspel's aptly named Riviera polo range is the perfect choice for any warm weather trip. Worn by none other than Daniel Craig in Casino Royale, this quality staple is a fine example of elegance in simplicity.

Key Piece: The Breton Stripe
Heavily inspired by menswear, the legendary Coco Chanel firmly believed that the classic Breton stripe top would always remain a timeless and sophisticated style throughout the sartorial shifts and changes of the years.
Originally the uniform of the fisherman of Brittany, the iconic striped design was adopted by the French navy and has become synonymous with maritime pursuits. A navy or red stripe Breton paired with beige chinos and espadrilles makes an enduring statement that works well both in the city and abroad. Jigsaw's navy stripe Breton tee (below) captures the look seamlessly:
- River Island Navy And White Striped T-shirt
- Reiss Provence Long Sleeve Striped Jersey Top Blue Stripe
- Long Sleeve Breton T Shirt
- Allsaints Mirach Vest
- Ami Stripe-knit Sweater 171592
- A.p.c. Striped Cotton-jersey T-shirt
- Topman Red Breton Stripe Sweatshirt
- Asos Polo With Breton Stripe
- Topman Burgundy Stripe Crew Neck T-shirt
All synthetic fibres should be avoided in warmer climes as they will only serve to exacerbate perspiration and discomfort. With this in mind, Oxford cotton and linen styles are a solid backbone to a summer shirting repertoire. The classic Oxford shirt should feature a box pleat on the back for a looser, more comfortable fit.
With its breathable and absorbable qualities, linen is the ideal fabric for the majority of summer occasions. Durable and multi-faceted, an organic white linen shirt will work perfectly with a tailored jacket, or worn solo with shorts and deck shoes. For a more modern feel, pastel linen shirts are a smart and on trend option.
Italian label 120% Lino and premium swimwear brand Orlebar Brown have a great range of quality linen apparel for the discerning gent.
For those of a more contemporary inclination, short-sleeve chambray or bold print shirts are also worthy of consideration. Menswear designers' enthusiasm for micro-prints and flora and fauna motifs has led to a seemingly endless choice of options in this genre, with styles from high street to high end to suit everyone. Strong labels in the offering include Hentsch Man, A.P.C. and Topman.
- Asos Oxford Shirt
- J.crew Button-down Collar Cotton Oxford Shirt
- American Apparel Washed Oxford Shirt
- He By Mango Linen Straight-fit Shirt
- Uniqlo Men Premium Linen Long Sleeve Shirt B
- He By Mango Linen Straight-fit Shirt

- Topman Dark Red Tile Print Short Sleeve Smart Shirt
- River Island Blue Tribal Print Short Sleeve Shirt
- Allsaints Belharra Short Sleeved Shirt
- J.crew Floral-print Cotton Short-sleeved Shirt
- Short-sleeve Shirt In Japanese Indigo Chambray
Trousers & Shorts
Cotton and linen are once again key fabrics in this category. The chino reigns supreme for trousers, with slim fitting or pleat front styles both sound choices.
Shorts should finish above knee level and neutral tone, ice cream shades or eye-catching optic prints are all key elements to add interest below the waistline. Just remember if your bottom half is patterned, it's best to keep things simple on top.
Lookbook Inspiration
Key Pieces
- Slowear Incotex Linen And Cotton-blend Chinos
- 120% Lino Tailored Linen Trousers 143324
- Topman Pale Grey Skinny Chinos
- Cheap Monday Slim Chinos
- Uniqlo Men Skinny Fit Chino Flat Front Pants
- Reiss Labrynth T Micro Geo Print Trousers Apricot

- Paul Smith – Jeans Mens 306m Printed Shorts – Multi
- Topman Navy Jungle Mid Shorts

As a substantial amount of your time will be spent ocean side, swimwear will be one of the most important components in your Riviera-bound suitcase.
A high quality pair of swimming shorts are a must, and with the recent rise in premium swimwear labels for men, there's never been a better time to upgrade from those faded baggy board shorts.
Orlebar Brown is the market leader in quality swimwear and has something for everyone, from Mr. Classic to the exhibitionist. Their iconic 'Bulldog' and 'Setter' styles are a considered choice and available in a range of colour-pop hues, whilst their photo imagery print shorts are a playful tongue-in-cheek alternative.
London-based label MYO also offers a range of bold and youthful styles for the avid beach-goer. For those looking to stretch their pound a little further, there are some great options available on the high street.
- Orlebar Brown Setter Short-length Swim Shorts
- Orlebar Brown Bulldog Mid-length Printed Swim Shorts
- Myo Oxford Check Swim Shorts 147998
- Myo Marlin Camouflage Swim Shorts 147985
- Hartford Mid-length Printed Swim Shorts
- Topman Floral Swim Shorts
- Reiss Ditora Butterfly Floral Print Shorts Airforce Blue
- River Island Navy Contrast Stripe Swim Shorts
- River Island Red And Blue Colour Block Swim Shorts
When the mercury begins to climb, the footwear department can be one of the trickiest areas for men to negotiate. In the British Isles our feet spend a pale, sun-deprived existence cocooned in socks and leather for approximately 360 days per year, making most men somewhat reluctant to expose them to the world when the sun finally rears its head.
In recent summer seasons, the sandal has been creeping ever higher in the sartorial consciousness, with designers creating some imaginative and practical styles that even the most toe fearing gents can give a go. Leather cross-strap sandals in a dark tan are a multi-faceted option and have come a long way since the 'Jesus sandal' faux pas of the 1980s Brit and German abroad.
For those not brave enough to work some 'toe and mankle' action into their look, deck shoes and espadrilles are a more viable option, whilst suede tassel loafers will serve for formal occasions.
Try Jil Sander, A.P.C. and Sebago for stylish solutions to your footwear dilemmas.

Champions Of Riviera Style
When in doubt, take your cue from those in the know. There are certain men who can pull off Riviera style like it's their second skin.
One of the most sartorially elegant legends of the silver screen, the Swiss-French actor Alain Delon effortlessly made Riviera panache his own and remains one of the most charismatic style icons of the 1960s.
In this photograph, Delon shows how neutral-tone tailoring is done:
Another cinematic legend, no one wore the Breton stripe tee quite like fabled US actor James Dean, who died tragically young at the age of twenty-four in a fatal car crash. Who knows what the sartorial icon had in store for us if he had survived:
This dapper group of gents in Florence show how to work elements of Riviera style into a city wardrobe. The off-white trousers, retro-inspired eyewear and lightweight tailoring are particularly sharp:
Shot in 1960s France, the gent below [left] demonstrates the art of casual summer insouciance; the canvas espadrilles are a particularly apt Riviera touch.
Bringing the look bang up to date, this dapper Londoner [below right] has dressed appropriately for a summer's day in town, with a well-cut lightweight cotton suit and an intricately woven straw fedora. Note the natty pocket square:
The Talented Mr. Ripley, staring Jude Law and Matt Damon, features some of the strongest and most inspirational Riviera style in silver screen history.
Set in late 1960s Italy, the film boasts a continual sequence of aesthetic perfection from one scene to the next. See our full break down of this cinematic masterpiece in our Celluloid Style series:
The Palette
Off-whites, beiges and neutral tones are synonymous with classic Riviera style, as are primary tones of reds and blues for more nautical-inspired pieces.
Pastel and ice cream shades will also add a fresh and contemporary feel to the look and can easily make the transition to your city wardrobe:
All of us can work an element of Riviera style into our wardrobe through the simple addition of light-coloured linen, unstructured cotton tailoring and a pair of playfully printed shorts.
The key factor to remember is that each component should be both practical and comfortable; the style itself evolved from the necessity to have a freer form of dressing for an active lifestyle in sunny climes.
However it adapts and evolves with the passing decades, the core spirit of Riviera style remains in the form of elegant simplicity and functional panache.

RiverCraft launches, student writers honored at reading"While you're there, you don't always realize that SU is one of the top creative writing programs for undergraduates in the country, and for that, SU should be commended," writer Salvatore Pane said. Pane is an alumnus of Susquehanna and was the guest speaker and visiting writer at this year's RiverCraft launch.
RiverCraft is one of four magazines released annually by Susquehanna's creative writing program, displaying students' poetry and fictional prose. Its fellows are Essay, which contains students' nonfiction works, The Susquehanna Review, a national publication, and The Apprentice Writer, a publication which that features submissions of high school students.
RiverCraft has had 51 editions to date. According to Professor of English and Director of the Writers' Institute Gary Fincke, RiverCraft began its journey under the name of "Focus," and it provided an outlet for creative writers to produce their works. Since 1963, RiverCraft has grown, not only in thickness, but also in excellence.
Fincke said: "I've been advising the magazine since 1983. I swear that every year is better than the year before."
Fincke also said that RiverCraft has an extraordinary quality for an undergraduate magazine. It competes at a national undergraduate level each year. His only regret is that it does not have a wider circulation at Susquehanna.
"I think non-majors perceive that our writing is only meant to reach those who appreciate literature for its high-brow aesthetic, and this simply isn't the case," junior Kristen Brida, one of this year's poetry editors, said.
"While our journal produces work with strong language, intricate plots and experimental poetry, our journal is also meant to entertain our reader, and I firmly believe that those outside the major will find this to be true when they pick up a copy of our issue," Brida continued.
Brida is one of six main student editors that assisted with RiverCraft this year. The main editor was senior Sarah-Jane Abate. The fiction editor was junior Chris Rodriguez. Poetry editors included Brida, senior Kirstin Waldkoenig and sophomore Christine Guaragno. Production editor this year was senior Nicole Powers.
The launch was performed in Isaacs Auditorium in Seibert Hall and featured readings by Pane and selected works within the magazine, presented by the writers. Three students in particular were recognized that evening.
The climax of the ceremony was the presentation of the Juliet Gibson Memorial Award, a $400 prize that is given to an outstanding writer in RiverCraft. The award is in memory of Juliet Gibson, a Susquehanna student editor who died in a campus accident in 1987. The judge for the award each year reviews each piece of poetry and prose submitted to RiverCraft. This year's judge was Sarah Turcotte, a Susquehanna alumna from 2010.
Each year, there are two finalists chosen for the award, one in poetry and one in prose, as well as the Juliet Gibson winner. This year's prose finalist was sophomore Eric Hollen for his piece "Do You Remember Jamaica?" The finalist for poetry was senior Deb Gravina for her piece "Admittedly." Susquehanna's Juliet Gibson Award winner this year was first-year Sarah Harshbarger for her piece titled "Lambing Season."
Harshbarger said: "It's surreal. I didn't even know if I would get into the magazine, so it was a surprise."
Many involved in this year's edition of RiverCraft said that this is an opportunity for all Susquehanna students to express their creative abilities.
Brida said, "To see our contributors' enthusiasm and to see students hold and read our 2014 issue really displays how important literature- more importantly, emerging literature- is to the Susquehanna community."
Powers said, "I think a lot of people outside of the writing department just don't even realize that these magazines are something that we produce every year."
"If you're not a huge writer or reader or someone who is familiar with the writing department, I think it's just a cool way to see what other departments on this campus are up to and the great writing that's produced every semester," Powers continued.
Submissions for the 2015 edition of RiverCraft will be accepted until January or February of next year.

Our congratulations go out to Woodland Elementary second-grade teacher Nancy Miles on being named the top elementary teacher in East Tennessee. We also wish the Johnson City educator all the best as she now vies to become Tennessee's Teacher of the Year.
We believe there is no doubt Miles is one of the best teachers in Tennessee. We are also pretty confident that the same can be said of many of her colleagues in the Johnson City School System.
Miles represents all the dedicated teachers of this city. As Miles explained to Press staff writer Madison Mathews earlier this week, being in the running for the prestigious title allows her to be "the face" of the school system.
Miles, who has taught at Woodland for eight years, worked in marketing for about 15 years before being hired by Johnson City Schools in 2003.
"I don't feel like there's anything special that I do, but I feel very fortunate and privileged to represent the hard-working teachers that we have at not only this school but across the district," Miles told the Press this week.
Well said.

Two weeks ago I tweaked something in my right shoulder. It happened when I was doing wide grip pull-ups. Following the 'if it hurts see a doctor' thing (for once) I've made an appointment. The earliest is early next year (mid January) which means that by the time I see a doc I'll most likely be healed (maybe poorly). God bless doctor shortages.
Last week I ran through some really light sets to see what hurt and what didn't.
Fine: Standing military press, Bent over BB rows, SLDL, BB curl, Standing Lat Raise, Shrugs
Questionable: Deadlift, Bench Press, Assisted Dips
Sucked: DB shoulder press (negative portion), Hammer Curl, DB Bench, French Press, Lat Pull Down, Pull Up, cleaning the bathtub, eating, touching my left shoulder with my right hand
Shoulders are already my weakest group. I really don't want to take a few months off working my upper body until the doctor can poke me three times and go 'you're fine'. I can do a lot of exercises without bugging it... should I focus on those?
And what the hell could I have tweaked?

Remagen 1945
Endgame Against the Third Reich
(If any tax is payable it will be calculated and shown at checkout.)
moreFollowing the Battle of the Bulge in the Ardennes, the Allies began steps for the final assault into Germany. The long-delayed US Army thrust over the Roer River, Operation Lumberjack, finally took place in February, placing the US Army along the Rhine. The Rhine represented the last major geographical barrier to the Allied advance into Germany. The plan was for Montgomery's 21st Army Group to leap the Rhine into the Ruhr in a carefully choreographed attack called Operation Plunder. In the event, fortune smiled on the US Army when the 9th Armored unexpectedly found that the Ludendorff bridge at Remagen had not yet been demolished by the Wehrmacht, leaving this one major crossing over the Rhine intact. An armored infantry team supported by the new Pershing tanks stormed the bridge, seized it in fierce fighting and disarmed the charges placed on it. They then held it against numerous counterattacks in which the Germans used conventional tactics and unconventional, including jet bombers, V-2 missiles, and frogmen.
Remagen was not the only impromptu Rhine crossing made by the US Army in central Germany but it was the most dramatic and hardest fought. The irrepressible George Patton, in spite of instructions to stay put, snuck an infantry division across the Rhine in the south, setting the stage for the race into Germany. After reinforcing their two major Rhine crossings, the US Army launched its late-March offensive, encircling Frankfurt, and setting the stage for the defeat of the Wehrmacht in the West. This is a gripping, authoritative account of a crucial battle during the last major set-piece operation of World War II (1939-1945). less

Junior Lauren Herring
March 19, 2014
ATHENS, Ga.—Georgia women's tennis player Lauren Herring has been named SEC Player of the Week, the league office announced Wednesday.
Herring went 2-0 in both singles and doubles, including three top-ten wins to help Georgia win three matches last week, beating conference-rival South Carolina, No. 5 Virginia and No. 3 Florida.
On Wednesday against Virginia, the Greenville, N.C. native beat Julia Elbaba of Virginia, 6-4, 6-4. On Sunday against No. 3 Florida, Herring topped No. 8 Olivia Janowicz 6-2, 6-4.
In doubles, Herring and partner Maho Kowase went 2-0 against two top-25 opponents. The duo clinched a critical doubles point against No. 9 Julia Elbaba and Rachel Pierson of Virginia, 8-6 and shutout No. 24 Belinda Woolcock and Sofie Oyen of Florida, 8-0.
Herring, who is the No. 10 singles player in the country, is 24-3 this year, including 15 wins over ranked opponents. She is riding a six-match winning streak. In doubles, she and Kowase are ranked third in the country and have a team-best 25-4 record.
This is the second time that Herring has won SEC Player of the Week honors this spring.
Georgia hits the road this weekend to take on No. 28 Kentucky on Friday at 12 p.m. before facing No. 11 Vanderbilt on Sunday at 2 p.m. Live scoring will be available on Georgiadogs.com.

18-year-old minor going to hear a band with his parent.
Situation A) they have the same last name.
Situation B) they don't have the same last name.
18-year-old minor going to hear a band with his parent.
Situation A) they have the same last name.
Situation B) they don't have the same last name.
Bar's discretion.
No, they can't if the establishment is classified as a bar. This only works with ordering a drink for a minor at an eatery.
I have done this numerous times at many clubs. Never been turned down.
1) call ahead and ask to speak to the manager. Tell them what you want to do. Get his name and ask if he is going to be there.
2) get there early before it gets too crowded and ask to speak to the manager. Introduce yourself and the kid to make sure he knows who the kid is.
3) also a good idea to talk to the head bartender/bar manager and tip them.
Some will have a rule that the minor can only drink bottled water...nothing from a cup, especially if said minor is close to drinking age.
As someone pointed out, it's at the discretion of the bar.
While there is law that says a bar MAY serve a minor in the presence of their legal guardian, there is no law that says the bar HAS to serve them.
The ones that do serve it, are required to take all drinks off of the table at any point that the guardian is away from the table (ie bathroom). For this reason, the vast majority of bars have quit doing it at all.
So a parent can legally serve their minor child alcohol at home? I presume they can't serve other minors, though? Always wondered about those "safe drinking" parties.
The kids whose parents let us drink at their houses were really, really popular.
Legally yes you can, however if he has a different last name they might make you show proof. But just because its legal for bars to serve/let him in doesn't mean the bars will. They can refuse service to anyone.
Yes, parents/guardians can serve their own child alcohol at home, but it is illegal for them to serve other minors.
I have much experience with this. Bars can, but don't have to, let you in with your minor child and can, but don't have to, let you serve your child booze in their bar. It depends on the server and management. I've been to some places that wouldn't even allow a minor to enter. I've been to some that would serve my minor son as long as we both showed our ID's. I've had some not serve my son even though we showed our ID's. Totally up to the bar.
must suck to be 18 and not able to go to a bar. 18 is legal here

A quick update on Amanda. Her blood pressure spiked yesterday topping out at 180/100. We thought for sure that the doctor would deliver when she saw that bp, but she didn't. She did move Amanda back to Labor and Delivery for a closer watch, ordered blood work more often, more nst's etc. We had a good ultrasound scan by the peri last night and Baby B got a perfect 10 on the peri's rating system for a healthy fetus. So, no problems with blood/oxygen flow and the placenta is firmly attached.

2010 Complete Election Coverage: Kirsten Gillibrand gets NARAL endorsement

Digg/Buzz It Up
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) got a boost to her 2010 election campaign by winning the endorsement of one of America's largest abortion rights advocacy groups.
NARAL Pro-Choice America announced Monday it was backing the appointed senator in her bid for a full term. The organization's political action committee has already given $5,000 to Gillibrand's campaign and plans to organize its 63,113 members on her behalf, the group said in a press release.
"Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand is a rising star among pro-choice leaders in the Senate," said NARAL President Nancy Keenan. "We are proud to continue the partnership we started in 2006, when Sen. Gillibrand first won a tough race for the House. She is a resilient campaigner whose fully pro-choice voting record reflects an unwavering commitment to the values of freedom and privacy."
NARAL endorsed Gillibrand in her 2006 and 2008 House campaigns in New York's 20th District.
Gillibrand was appointed by New York Democratic Gov. David Paterson to fill the Senate seat vacated by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in January 2009.

Interactive Architcture from MADE on Vimeo.
Interactive Architecture & Media
How do digital technologies change the media of architecture? Sensory and responsive systems open up rich novel forms of participation, interaction and play. They challenge notions of architecture as static and predictable, instead encompassing the ever changing gestures and exchanges of people, technologies and their environment. Much is made of computational design today, often synonymous with producing complex form and harnessing the latest fabrication techniques. While these are no doubt compelling, computation also allows us to design complex behaviour - to build architecture that responds to people, the environment, and the digital and social landscapes that we live in. From products and furniture, to installations, building envelopes and urban design, two designers Jason Bruges & Ruairi Glynn, leaders in this emerging field of Interactive Architecture present and discuss their work.
Interactive Architecture was hosted by MADE, as part of the Learning Spaces Living Places programme, and was broadcst live to the Municpal Art Society of New York.
Speakers - Jason Bruges & Ruairi Glynn
Jason Bruges Studio, design and build interactive installations across 4 key sectors - Architecture, Art, Experiential Marketing and Lighting Design Consultancy. The company has a studio based in Old Street, London, and in New York. It is currently working on global projects including a distraction piece for Great Ormond Street Hospital in London for children on their route to surgery, an interactive artwork in a shopping mall in Shenyang, China, a public artwork for a new development in Toronto, Canada, 4 Olympic Games artworks in London, a super yacht in the middle east and a playground for a childrens' hospice in Kuwait. It has recently received several prestigious design awards including Lighting Design Of The Year Award 2011 (Special Projects) for 'Platform 5', and more recently have been nominated for Brit Insurance Design Of The Year (2012) for both Mimosa and 'The Green Box Project'. Jason's architectural training brings environmental awareness and technical skill to the direction of all the studio's creative projects. He worked for Foster + Partners and Imagination before establishing the studio.
Ruairi Glynn is an Installation Artist interested in motive design, interaction and performance. He has exhibited his work internationally, most recently at the Centre Pompidou Paris, the National Art Museum Beijing, Seoul's Olympic Museum of Art, Sao Paulo's Itau Cultural, Beall Center Los Angeles, the Madrid Art Fair, the Kunsthaus Graz and London Design Festival. This summer he will be presenting his first UK solo exhibition at the Tate Modern. Ruairi is also curating, authoring publications and lecturing at the Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL & Central Saint Martins, University of Arts London. He has biannually organised conferences on the driving influence of computation in architecture, art and design such as Digital Architecture London 2009 and Fabricate 2011(with Bob Sheil). Plans are underway for another major event in 2013. He is co-author of Digital Architecture: Passages Through Hinterlands and co-editor of Fabricate: Making Digital Architecture.

Homemade BBQ Sauce - Do you?
I was supposed to make baby back ribs for dinner yesterday, but my dh ate lunch out and so he of course came home and was still full. So our plans changed, and we're going to make the ribs tonight, which is actually better.
Yesterday I had been been watching the Luau thread for some ideas and inspiration, but since I had made the sweet and sour meatballs recently, I wanted to make something different. Kind of a Carolina BBQ, anyway that direction. I looked around my pantry and fridge..nope.
I have a few bottles of Stonewall Kitchen, but they are so small! What was I thinking!
So, anyway I got to thinking about how someone on CH mentioned making ketchup. That they love the Amish ketchup and they drive to the Amish country specifically for their ketchup. Well heck, what is BBQ sauce? I can do this.
So all afternoon my little brain went to work on my favorite bbq sauce flavorings, and I cooked a batch of BBQ sauce that I'm pretty pleased with. It's not rip roaring hot, it is the way I like it. The vinegar comes through, its sweet with some spices that are almost exotic. and just enough heat to get your attention. But not a huge backlash heat where you are uncomfortable. Don't get me wrong I love those too, and I can always change the ingredients to suit my mood.
Anyway, there is no reason to buy bbq sauce when you can make it at home so easily. It's so inexpensive, all you might do is spend a great deal time stirring and tasting,that's it.
You can make the sauce as simple or as complicated as you see like. And the best part is that you can can it to enjoy all year round.
You know me, I love to take pictures so here is the jar of sauce. The photos of me putting it into action will follow tonight. So... do any of you make your own bbq sauce?
If you do, I'd sure love to hear your ideas!
I never would have dreamed of trying, but I saw an Emeril episode featuring: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/em...
I make the chicken twice a year and a DOUBLE batch of the sauce about FOUR times a year. I can it in pints and my freinds beg me for them.
I use this sauce on chicken and pork.
You're 100% right..it's not that hard and the results are well worth it!
re: bbqbluz
dave, welcome to chowhound!
re: bbqbluz
Thanks for the inspiration, Dave.
Actually, I just glanced up in my pantry to see a couple quarts hanging around from my last batch!
Gotta get me some chicken.
Your recipe rocks!
re: bbqbluz
Great advice, Bluz!
I love me some good cornbread. Batter sizzling in the heated cast iron skillet before it goes into the oven...the SOUND of good things to come.
I am using the Steve Raichlen (sp?) rub, but will look into "Char Crust".
With a Penzey's Spice storefront a half-block from my office, I'm spoiled and love to mix spices myself!
I have made Bar-B-Q sauce a couple times and have been pleased with the results.
I made the vinegar mustard sauce that goes with Tyler Florences pulled pork recipe, which I really liked once I got used to it.
I also made one with apple cider, which tasted like a spicy apple butter when done.
I have a peach based sauce that I am looking forward to trying when the local peaches are ripe.
re: NE_Elaine
Could you post the peach bbq sauce recipe? I have a peach tree that is loaded again this year, and I can only make so much jam. Thanks, Diane
I do my ribs Memphis-style, which means I coat them with a dry rub, smoke them 5 hours or so, then baste with a finishing sauce near the end.
I make the finishing sauce starting with plain canned tomato sauce, to which I add vinegar, beer, butter, hot sauce, and salt & pepper, and cook it down a bit to thicken.
Almost always. I've never found a store-bought sauce that I love, though there is one locally bottled sauce that isn't too bad (Fat Boy's, I think is what it was called). I much prefer a spicy sauce too. I have a good, basic bbq sauce for chicken, but I haven't found one that's good for beef yet. I've always wanted to try Ina's recipe, just out of curiousity, the one that has hoisin, soy, etc., but it has SO many ingredients!
re: Katie Nell
Well what I've noticed because I set up my own little tasting thing again. Is that this sauce I made taste so much fresher, or brighter.. yes maybe that't the word. I swear, last night I was eating it by the spoonfuls once it cooled. I used the stick to blend the garlic and onion so there is a lovely thickness to it. Originally, I think I was going for something thinner, I dunno, but you know how sauce is once it chills, it gets thicker. Still omg, it's delicous. We are such bbq snobs too. We drive to Murphys for our special "steak sauce" because we can't find it anywhere else. Well I think I can copy it now.
ooooo and any sauce with hoisin mmmmm.... has my vote.Hoisin is wonderful with pork. There are just soooo many.
Now for beef/steak, I really want one that is mustard based, so chefathome and I have to talk, because I want a really nice mustardy bbq sauce for steak. I can taste it, now I just have to make it. Ok now, so any help Katie Nell would be so welcomed!
re: chef chicklet
I agree regarding fresher tasting... maybe it's all the preservatives that bottled sauces have to use.
I tried to find the Barefoot Contessa recipe online but I couldn't find it, so I'll just paraphrase it, in case you want to give it a try.
1 1/2 cups chopped yellow onions
1 T. minced garlic
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup tomato paste
1 cup cider vinegar
1 cup honey
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 cup dijon mustard
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 cup hoisin sauce
2 T. chili powder
1 T. ground cumin
1/2 T. crushed red pepper flakes
Saute onions and garlic in vegetable oil until translucent, about 10- 15 minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients and simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes on low. She says it will last for months in the refrigerator- I still think I would need to cut it in half!
re: Katie Nell
That one looks good too. and I like the chili powder, thanks for doing that.
You know what though. I used 1/2 cup measurements,and you saw the jar I ended up with, well thats and empty marinara jar so what is that a qt? Well its almost alll gone! I know were...pigs. My hubby was still talking about how good it tasted last night.
I'll tranfer the recipe I came uo with tomorrow..it's not like its a secret or anything,
re: Katie Nell
Ina's is good. I made it two summers ago and look forward to having some more...soon!
re: chefathome
I've always bought them too, and I would have up to 5-8 different ones in the fridge and when they get low, I mix them. Our preference isn't the usual store ones, like Kraft puts out. We prefer one that are different, and so that's sort of why I decided to make my own yesterday. I love the tart vinegar taste, my husband loves the thick sweet smokey ones with fruit. The ones we've been buying are pretty expensive. Forget that!
Anyway this base is really good, I mean I am happy eating as is, but I can add to it if I want, like a smokey chipotle and then for fruit blackberry, peach, apple anything I want. The rubs too, I need to make those also.
And thank you for your kind comments about my photos!!! I'm always adding to it, so feel free to drop by anytime!
re: chefathome
Mustard??? I want to hear more about your mustard, would you start a thread to discuss? And ketchup I bet there would probably be interest to.... I'm just sayin'....
re: chef chicklet
OK - I'll start a thread on mustards and ketchups. Am working on dinner right now so will pull out some recipes later this evening!
Oh, rubs - aren't they just the best thing? Right now I have at least 5 rubs in my big fat spice drawer. Have you ever made sort of a rub (well, actually more like a sprinkle!! :) with dried chipotles and orange zest? I add a bit of that to my sauces, too, when I want some smokiness.
I'll check back on your photos - I am so very impressed! That is something I do not know how to do. Funny thing - before I went to cooking school I taught computer classes! That was ages ago, though, and things certainly have changed...

Revitalizing Baltimore
Imagine you had been given the job of designing a forestry program for an urban community. Where would you start? According to the models you would attempt to link forestry resources on the state, county and municipal level with community based conservation associations, corporate sponsors and academic institutions to improve urban life by equipping residents to revitalize their own neighborhoods.
The Parks & People Foundation initiated the Revitalizing Baltimore (RB) project as a regional partnership strengthening community-based efforts to improve urban natural resources to achieve quality of life as well as ecological goals. This project is supported by the USDA Forest Service and managed by the Parks & People Foundation in cooperation with the Maryland State Forester, as well as Baltimore City and County government agencies. RB is a national model for community forestry and watershed organizing that equips people to care for natural resources and to employ these resources to revitalize their neighborhoods. The partnering organizations are working together to improve the quality of life in urban neighborhoods by restoring natural resources in the Baltimore region using a human ecosystem frameworks based on watershed geography.
Over the last nine years, Revitalizing Baltimore (RB) has focused its efforts along stream valleys, parks and neighborhoods with significant tree deficits helping increase tree canopy in 45 neighborhoods by planting over 6,600 street trees and 12,950 riparian trees and woody plants in over 650 projects involving more than 3000 volunteers annually, and providing stewardship education to over 11,650 students and 800 adults. RB's twenty partnering organizations include the Maryland Department of Natural Resources Forest Service, Baltimore City, Baltimore County, several nonprofit organizations, three watershed associations, businesses, and academic institutions. RB actively reaches out to culturally diverse communities to help residents plant trees along streets and streams, transform vacant lots to community green space, restore parks and schoolyards, and support youth education and adult training to foster stewardship of natural resources. This year, the Revitalizing Baltimore project will continue community forestry and watershed organizing initiatives and projects.
The Baltimore Ecosystem Study (BES) began in 1997 and is a key partner in the RB project. BES is a research study funded by the National Science Foundation and supported by the USFS NE Research to investigate how Baltimore functions as an urban ecosystem, focusing on interactions between people – our actions, ideas and institutions – and urban ecology in the metropolitan area. BES addresses three central questions: 1) how Baltimore's ecosystem is changing over time; 2) how the structure of the natural and built environment affect ecological processes; and 3) how Baltimore residents can develop and use an understanding of the city as an ecosystem to improve their daily lives. Through the RB Technical Committee, BES including USFS researchers make connections with community forestry practitioners, public officials, and community resident volunteers. The Technical Committee serves as a means for defining research priorities and for transfer of new research and technology to community members and natural resource managers.

Prime Minister: I want to welcome the Secretary of Defense of the United States of America and of course we have very many issues that are very apropos at this time. We have talked about the performance of the security and the army, especially that I have visited two days ago the [inaudible] and with my own eyes I have seen the graduation of Iraqi officers and the [Inaudible] training with weapons for the security police and the Minister of Defense and I have closely watched the performance of the Iraqi police and the Army. When we have talked about the support that is needed for this effort because it's such an important step as well as equipping and recruiting and training because that will affect the length of time that the MNFI will be here. That is why the great desire of the Iraqi people is to see the Coalition forces be on their way out as they take more responsibility.
We have also talked about the detainees and [inaudible] because of the detainees and [inaudible]. We have talked that Iraq is a front in fighting terrorism because this terrorism is not only threatening Iraq, but it is threatening the whole world. We have also affirmed the importance of the support that we need in security and in the training of the armed forces. I would like to leave the floor to Secretary Rumsfeld, whom I welcome.
Rumsfeld: Thank you so much, Prime Minister.
I was very pleased to have a chance to meet with the Prime Minister and his national security team. Discussions included the Minister of Defense of Iraq and the Minister of Interior, and General Casey and Ambassador Khalilzad were joining us as well. We, as the Minister said, had a good discussion about the progress being made with respect to the Iraqi security forces and our common interest in seeing them develop to the point where they can take over full responsibility for security here in Iraq.
Tough questions to the Prime Minister -- [Laughter]. I'm just a visitor.
Media: [inaudible] from the Europe [inaudible] Iraq. I carry a message from my heart to the Secretary of Defense, first of all we thank you for the effort you are expending. But however, this but carries with it both the [inaudible] and the pain of the mothers and the families of Iraq because of the wrong-killing that is happening on the Iraqi streets. We understand that there is a great threat against the U.S. forces on the Iraqi street but [inaudible] that Iraqi life and blood should be cheap to them. This happens because of danger or because of wrong actions. We ask Your Excellency to give this message to the U.S. forces so that they may see it with the Iraqi people and be careful about the many lives that are at stake.
My question is to the Prime Minister. Has there been a discussion about the reduction of U.S. forces in the cities and in the streets of Iraq?
Prime Minister: Before I answer your question I thank you very much to give this message to Secretary Rumsfeld. And this is the opportunity to tell you that there was a good meeting between me and General Casey [inaudible] and this is the wrong-killing of the Iraqi [civilians]. And I have asked for an investigation and the apology to the families of the victims. And even to the point we discussed compensation.
General Casey has addressed a letter to me that he is investigating this matter and I think there is no disagreement at all on the issue because the Iraqi, the MNFI and the U.S. forces have come here to preserve and defend Iraqi life and we hope that these events will not repeat. [Inaudible] to Iraq. It definitely means for us to start preparing for the MNFI and [inaudible] the withdrawal, the reduction in the U.S. forces will be balanced by greater performance and competence on behalf of the Iraqi forces. That is going to take some very specific steps [inaudible]. If there are other questions for the Secretary please do so because he has another commitment.
Media: Bob Burns, Associated Press. Prime Minister, I'd like to ask you first. You mentioned the withdrawal of American forces. How soon do you believe that American forces should begin to withdraw from your country?
Prime Minister: We have not limited to a certain [inaudible], but we confirm and we desire speed in that regard, and this [inaudible] has two aspects. The picking up the pace of training of Iraqi forces both in training and equipping, and the other aspect is planning with the MNFI that the withdrawal of the MNFI will happen as much as the Iraqi forces take hold of the land. We do not want to be surprised by a withdrawal that is not in connection with our Iraqi timing, but at the same time we do not justify their presence as to when we are performing and [inaudible].
Voice: Thank you all very much.

Rush to JudgmentPosted by: | Comments
What is becoming increasingly clear in the fallout of the misogynist remarks made by conservative wonk Rush Limbaugh is that the Republican Party is about to place in nomination for the most important, most treacherous job in the world, a man who doesn't have the courage to stand up to a talk radio host.
So how can we expect the GOP nominee, as president, to stand up to the bullies, dictators and other ne'er-do-wells that exist on this planet?
Answer: we can't.
They say silence is deafening, and in the case of Limbaugh and his attack on Georgetown student Sandra Fluke, the silence has managed to be louder than Limbaugh himself—and that's not easy to do.
Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich have each offered tepid, milquetoast responses to Limbaugh, who called Fluke a "slut" and a "prostitute," while also calling for the young woman to produce sex tapes. All because Fluke had the temerity to want to testify on Capitol Hill about the University providing contraception as part of its health care.
Romney said that Rush's words weren't the ones he'd use. Santorum tried to dismiss Limbaugh as an "absurd" entertainer. Gingrich tried to turn the tables and called President Obama "opportunistic" because he showed grace and compassion in phoning Fluke the day after Limbaugh's savage attack.
Each of the candidates have had second, and sometimes even third chances to clarify their positions, i.e. a "do-over" to show that their first responses were inappropriate and feeble.
Yet still, a week after Limbaugh went after Fluke, not only have the candidates, but most of the Republican Party have stayed mum about this red hot button issue.
No one wants to take on Rush Limbaugh among the GOP ranks. I don't know whether that's pitiful, insane or abhorrent.
Let's go for all three.
Santorum, in fact, had the gall to respond "courage" when asked in the last GOP debate to describe himself with one word.
Romney doesn't want to touch Limbaugh with a 10-foot pole. Gingrich sometimes actually sounds like Rush's press secretary.
The candidates' cowardice is only matched by their stupidity.
Blame their camps, too. For no one apparently has the brains to deduce that if their man came out against Limbaugh's comments—really came out against them—then he'd look a whole lot better than the others, and that such a response might actually help him in November.
You think the women voters, who are already cranky about birth control being reanimated as a political issue some 50 years after they thought it was put to bed, are in the mood to put up with attacks on their gender such as the one Limbaugh levied on Ms. Fluke?
Yet if one of the GOP presidential candidates had shown some courage—Santorum's word—I'd bet some of those female voters might be a little soothed.
The bottom line: a presidential candidate who is afraid of a talk show host who represents a sliver of a party that needs to grow instead of shrink, isn't fit to be president.
If the eventual GOP nominee needs a reminder of that, you can believe the women voters of this country will gladly provide it.
RETIRE? You're Purtan Me OnPosted by: | Comments
Starting next Monday, hundreds of thousands of metro Detroit women will have to start talking to their husbands again on weekday mornings.
For 45 years, they've been waking up with Dick Purtan–until Friday, when the radio veteran hangs up his microphone.
For over three decades, the women around town got their news from Bill Bonds at 11:00 p.m., went to bed with Johnny Carson, and woke up with either Purtan or J.P. McCarthy. But then Johnny retired in 1992, Bonds left channel 7 in 1995, and J.P. passed away later that same year.
That left Purtan as the last true media giant in Detroit. And, maybe, the last we'll ever know.
Longtime radio observers like Specs Howard Institute's Dick Kernen disagree with me. Kernen says that as long as someone "has the magic, like Dick, to create quality content," then "personality radio" will stick around, despite that medium's changing landscape.
As much as I'd like to believe that, I'm not as confident as Kernen. Mainly, because I don't see anyone who's even close to assuming Purtan's role, at least not on today's airwaves.
Drew and Mike over at WRIF have reunited, and they are once again running roughshod over their competition in the mornings. John Mason, for 18 years at WJLB and now in syndication from WGPR, is another uber-strong morning guy in Detroit. Yet neither of those shows is woven into the fabric of the city as was Purtan's and J.P.'s.
Purtan's audience was always a tad older than the rockers and urban guys, anyway. His main competition for years was McCarthy.
"J.P.'s show was serious and political, and ours was funny and satirical," Purtan told the Free Press in recollecting those days from the late-1960s thru the mid-1990s.
Purtan, unlike McCarthy, was a radio vagabond, making himself available to the highest bidder. He makes no bones about it, nor apologizes for it. Where J.P. stayed with WJR, Purtan didn't stay too long at any one station; he had many radio homes: WKNR, CKLW, WXYZ, WCZY, and ending at WOMC.
Purtan told the Freep that his picking up stakes fueled his longevity. McCarthy was the anomaly; to make the big bucks and stay appealing, Purtan realized that his audience would move with him, giving him leverage in contract negotiations.
But the changing face of radio—specifically, the unseen face of upper management and the business side of things—made yapping into a mike from 5:30-10:00 a.m. less fun for Purtan. Hence, he's at peace with his decision to retire.
I once asked the late Mark (Doc) Andrews, a longtime member of "Purtan's People" before passing away in 2004, to describe a typical morning working with Purtan.
"Laughing. We laugh and have fun, and laugh some more. It's a great gig," Doc told me.
That's all Purtan wanted to do—make his audience laugh, even when there wasn't a whole hell of a lot to laugh about in Detroit.
He did it for 45 years, and when he signs off Friday, the laughter will stop.
"The immediate future is filled with sleep—staying up late and waking up even later," Purtan says of his retirement plans. He'll also write a book, which should be a big seller. And lots more time will be spent with wife Gail, a breast cancer survivor who was also diagnosed with ovarian cancer 13 years ago.
But at least Purtan leaves on his own accord, read: healthy. His longtime rival McCarthy was forced out due to the cancer that eventually took his life.
Purtan won't totally vanish; he plans on spending a lot of time maintaining and providing content for http://www.dickpurtan.com/.
"It's pretty hard to stop when you've done this as long as I have, and I want to be involved," he says.
After a little sleeping in, of course.
Ghoulishly SternPosted by: | Comments
If you made a list of some of the most confounding, bizarre people to ever grace our radio and TV waves — at least in the Detroit area — then no doubt that list would include Howard Stern and…The Ghoul?
Those forces once collided, but more on that in a moment.
First, The Ghoul.
I won't spend a lot of time on the describing here, because I'm going to play a hunch and presume that most of the folks whose eyeballs are hitting this blog know who The Ghoul is/was.
But, just in case…
The Ghoul was a Saturday night icon on Detroit TV, circa the early-1970s and beyond (off and on). He showed lousy movies, but the movies were the interludes between his comedy bits, which included a stuffed frog and lots of Cheese Whiz.
The stuffed frog was Froggy, and even he became iconic, thanks to The Ghoul.
The Ghoul used terms like "over day" and "don't you know." He had something he called "The Ghoul's Vault of Golden Garbage," with garbage pronounced "gar-BAJ." It was a treasure trove of pre-taped bits, usually involving The Ghoul and Froggy out and about.
He wore a fright wig and painted one of his eyeglass lenses black. He had a fake, garish goatee and an equally as fake mustache.
But he was popular. Lord, was he popular around town. The Ghoul also did his gig in the Cleveland area, particularly during those times when he was kicked off Detroit TV, which were several.
The Ghoul was, in reality, a guy named Ron Sweed, and he played the role brilliantly. He was always in character, which you'll see in a moment.
As far as Howard Stern goes, I almost forgot that, for about six months or so, Stern tried to own Detroit radio in the mornings, from April thru October, 1980. Howard was on WWWW, aka W4, and he gave the guys at WRIF and WABX and the rest a run for their money.
Until W4 went country and Howard left town.
Anyhow, as promised, here's how the forces of Howard Stern and The Ghoul collide.
It's an audio recording I found, taped on Halloween morning, 1980. It's Stern interviewing The Ghoul, who was on the telephone.
Stern, 55, was only 26 when this was recorded, yet he sounds almost exactly like he does now. As a result, it's surreal to hear him make occasional references to the Detroit area, such as how he plans on appearing at Peaches Records in Fraser, and Piper's Alley in Grosse Pointe.

It's about 30 minutes long.
