Politics Counts
Foreign Policy
I'm not sure there's a weaker candidate in the field than Cayman Mittens.
Sure, we will vote for Santorum just to embarrass Romney. We will want to throw up and disinfect after going to vote but will be nice to see the panicked expression of the republican establishment when Romney concedes after losing in Michigan.
Santorumize Romney the inevitable.
"Rick Santorum has moved beyond just 'taking one for the team,' he is now willing to wear the other team's jersey if he thinks it will get him more votes.
Wasn't that exactly what Romney's strategy was when he used the JOhn McCain robo calls?
Santorum is a Creep...a Fake and a Corrupt person...I hope he goes down. Mitt is the Man...Go Mitt.
Reagan democrats died with Reagan
this democrat blogging denegrating the republican field really gets old. between the paid bloggers and the mainstream media, they work tirelessly to promote the notion that the republicans don't have a viable candidate. the truth is we have four candidates who would run circles around barry numbnuts obama. the sooner the conservatives start to counter the contrived liberal propaganda the better.
While the so-called religious issue is necessarily and properly the chief topic here tonight, I want to emphasize from the outset that we have far more critical issues to face in the 1960 election; the spread of Communist influence, until it now festers 90 miles off the coast of Florida--the humiliating treatment of our President and Vice President by those who no longer respect our power--the hungry children I saw in West Virginia, the old people who cannot pay their doctor bills, the families forced to give up their farms--an America with too many slums, with too few schools, and too late to the moon and outer space.
These are the real issues which should decide this campaign. And they are not religious issues--for war and hunger and ignorance and despair know no religious barriers.
But because I am a Catholic, and no Catholic has ever been elected President, the real issues in this campaign have been obscured--perhaps deliberately, in some quarters less responsible than this. So it is apparently necessary for me to state once again--not what kind of church I believe in, for that should be important only to me--but what kind of America I believe in.
I believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute--where no Catholic prelate would tell the President (should he be Catholic) how to act, and no Protestant minister would tell his parishioners for whom to vote--where no church or church school is granted any public funds or political preference--and where no man is denied public office merely because his religion differs from the President who might appoint him or the people who might elect him.
I believe in an America that is officially neither Catholic, Protestant nor Jewish--where no public official either requests or accepts instructions on public policy from the Pope, the National Council of Churches or any other ecclesiastical source--where no religious body seeks to impose its will directly or indirectly upon the general populace or the public acts of its officials--and where religious liberty is so indivisible that an act against one church is treated as an act against all.
For while this year it may be a Catholic against whom the finger of suspicion is pointed, in other years it has been, and may someday be again, a Jew--or a Quaker--or a Unitarian--or a Baptist. It was Virginia's harassment of Baptist preachers, for example, that helped lead to Jefferson's statute of religious freedom. Today I may be the victim--but tomorrow it may be you--until the whole fabric of our harmonious society is ripped at a time of great national peril.
Finally, I believe in an America where religious intolerance will someday end--where all men and all churches are treated as equal--where every man has the same right to attend or not attend the church of his choice--where there is no Catholic vote, no anti-Catholic vote, no bloc voting of any kind--and where Catholics, Protestants and Jews, at both the lay and pastoral level, will refrain from those attitudes of disdain and division which have so often marred their works in the past, and promote instead the American ideal of brotherhood.
That is the kind of America in which I believe. And it represents the kind of Presidency in which I believe--a great office that must neither be humbled by making it the instrument of any one religious group nor tarnished by arbitrarily withholding its occupancy from the members of any one religious group. I believe in a President whose religious views are his own private affair, neither imposed by him upon the nation or imposed by the nation upon him as a condition to holding that office.
A Santorum spokesman confirmed that the campaign launched automated phone calls urging Democrats to cross party lines and vote in the GOP primary for the former Pennsylvania senator.
Some of the calls argue that Democrats should vote against Mitt Romney because of his opposition to the government rescue of the auto industry — even though Mr. Santorum also opposed the bailout.
You do not need liberal propaganda if republicans do it to themselves.
"we have four candidates who would run circles around barry numbnuts obama"
There were 8 or 11 before who were running circles
you do not win a race running circles unless you live in a republican bizarro world
to mitt or not to mitt that is the question
"we have four candidates who would run circles around barry numbnuts obama"
the fact that "real conservatives" believe they have a viable chance with these four "strong" candidates is a blessing in itself. can we accelerate this thing?
there must be a god, because only a god would send such venerable warriors to defeat eeeevil socialist marxist muslim anti-religious communist known as obama!
12: 34..... is that some form of humor? If not, you are a very, very sick puppy.
to think everybody but Santorum wants to continue removing religion from our schools and government.
I'm a flesh-and-blood man, who is living right now on the planet Kolob with multiple wives.
Google it.
12:34 fear not, one of these warriors will indeed defeat the marxist antiAmerican muslimloving barack barry numbnuts obama, nee dunham. the guy is an indcotrinated muslim extremist who sought comfort in black theology at the church of the insane jeremiah wright. that church kept the hatred against white America alive and did so under a convenient disguise as "christian" church. the magnitude of obama's malice is staggering.
@ 12:56 see comments below... the trolls took the bait and ran with it. if you thought i was joking you were right. these people below, are not.
lois weinstein: "fear not, one of these warriors will indeed defeat the marxist antiAmerican muslimloving barack barry numbnuts obama, nee dunham. the guy is an indcotrinated muslim extremist who sought comfort in black theology at the church of the insane jeremiah wright. that church kept the hatred against white America alive and did so under a convenient disguise as "christian" church. the magnitude of obama's malice is staggering."
This is pathetic. I never thought Santorum would be a part of this (the media and unions have for weeks) and it will finish him off with conservatives. Romney now is the only adult and statesman in the bunch, either Republican or Democrat.
Kennedy's speech about religion and government makes me sick...
Hey Santorum...
You realize that after you successfully infuse government and schools with religion that...............................
you won't be able to limit it to Christianity.
So Timmy will come home telling you about the prayers he learned from the Koran.
You're a real deep thinker.
Bring school prayer back. This nation is in severe finiancial and moral decline due to the leftists.
Abe, W was a leftist ?
Abe is a joker.
As for Santorum, it's official that he opposes everything except pure and virulent Christianity.
So santorum is trying to fool people who supported the bailout into voting for him by pointing out that Romney didn't, and thereby insinuating that he did. Basically a lie by omission.
Gota live them old time Christian values. Clearly this nation needs more of them! Because you know, we don't lie cheat steal or do whatever we have to to win quite enough here in the good ol USA.
Santorum was not asking Democrats to vote for him but rather to vote against Romney. This is a real departure from the Mr. Clean that ne pretends to be.
Man; you republicans are indeed a deperate bunch. Face it, this election is ours. On the bright side, it'll give you another four-years to get your shirt together.
Mitt will lose because he can't rally his own troops. Santorum will lose because he can't rally rational people. Newt and Ron have already lost.
santorum is as divisive as obama with respect to religion. obama despises all western religions and santorum despises every religion except catholicism. btw rick, protestants are Christians too, even though the catholic church considers them heathans.
Santorum has a real ethics problem if he can't see what a betrayal of the Republican Party it is for him to robo-call Democrats and tell them to vote against Romney. This is the Republican nomination for Republicans to decide. I don't care how puritanical Santorum is about birth control or how much he wears his religion on his sleeves. This man lacks serious integrity if he thinks asking Democrats to sandbag the Republican nomination is a good idea..
betsy ross,
you think you are ok, but it's not true, you really need to take your medication sweetie.
republican OR democratic voters, it won't matter. Cowardly Santorum won't be able to run from his 'draft dodging' history for much longer. You can't fool mike humprheys, Rick! I'm on to you. you've lost my vote!
I think you guys often jump to quickly at thkniing people are idiots. For example, you state that people who think the president is responsible for gas prices don't know what they are talking about. I consider myself very informed and politicians have a very strong influence on gas prices. The difference, potentially, is that I don't believe the month-to-month swings are the presidents fault, but the multi-year trends certainly can be. Restricting drilling permits in the gulf, not opening federal lands like ANWR, rejecting the keystone pipeline all have a long term impact on prices. But, that isn't the main issue on the price of oil. The main cause of rising oil prices is high government spending and the resulting inflation, via the fed, that is required to fund the spending. As Ron Paul has pointed out, you can still buy gas for less than $0.20 with pre-1964 silver coins. This is certainly the presidents' fault. Also note, when I say president I do not mean Obama only, it has been pretty much all of them. But, he has certainly spent the most and had the most inflation in recent times.As a note, I use the original meaning of inflation in my argument, an increase in the money supply. Not the current mainstream use of inflation, a rise in consumer prices.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO) Orchard Mesa Middle School and Western Colorado Community Colorado were just two places that held events on Wednesday to reflect on the tragic day that took the lives of thousands.
Sally Benson was in the second tower on September 11th and said she still remembers the day like it was yesterday, "Right after i got out, that's when the second plane went into the tower i was in. The noise was so loud I couldn't hear anything. I heard people screaming and then all of a sudden I just heard the building collapsing. I was smack in the middle of that horrible day and I will never forget that day."
The Clifton Fire Department received a fire hydrant located in front of the towers and it is now on display in front of the station.
Locals worked together to organize events that showed the patriotism of residents in the Grand Valley.

Rick Landers, publisher, Guitar International has been playing guitar since 1965, when he bought a Silvertone twin-pickup guitar and ran it through a Gretsch amp. He and his brother and two neighbors got together to form a garage band, named "Us", in the Detroit area. Although, the band wouldn't last very long, Rick continued playing guitar through college and played in a few clubs in the Washington, D.C. area, as well as hung out in Georgetown where he busked as a sidewalk musican.
Guitar took a backseat to making a living, and armed with a bachelors degree in communications and a masters in organization and management, he would focus on business and communications as a training instructor (contracting/acquisition management), a strategic business manager, an administrator for international logistics, a facilitator, a senior business analyst and a mediator (Virginia Supreme Court certified). He would take post-graduate courses from Georgetown University, George Washington University, University of Massachusetts, and others during his career. His work would take him to Africa, Europe and other locations in the U.S. and the world. He also took course work at The Brookings Institution and the National Defense University in Washington, D.C., where he earned a two-year certificate in National Security Studies. The Navy sent him to Marine Corps Base Quantico to be trained by Marine Corps snipers for High Risk Personnel weapons training.
Landers was selected for a Navy Executive Development Program, as well as the prestigious, Defense Leadership and Management Program. His is the recipient of the Navy Meritorious Civilian Service Medal and the Department of Defense Meritorious Civilian Service Medal. Eventually he would become the Deputy Assistant IG for Communications for the Office of the Inspector General, Department of Defense, where he oversaw press relations; a group of web masters; strategic planning, ethics and management control responsibilities and later became the Senior Business Analyst for the Chief Engineer, Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Washington, D.C., before retiring in 2008.
After work hours, Rick spent his time in various activities including Tae Kwon Do, skydiving, running, camping, cycling and other affairs. His cycling took him to Iowa to ride RAGBRAI and he would later complete a series of century rides. In 2012, he completed his first triathlon and a challenging Mud Dog Run race. He rides a bevy of bikes: Kestrel, Cinelli Super Corsa, a RANS Velocity 3 recumbent, an AMP Research B4, a Hooker Elite Cat. 1, a Miyata 1000 LT, a Centurion Pro Tour 15, a Lightning P-38 and a recumbent he built several years ago. In October 2o14 he completed a solo self-contained tour of the Great Allegheny Passage and C&O Canal. He is a member of the Reston Pedestrian and Bicycling Advisory Committee, a Bike Ambassador for the National Park Service's Great Falls National Park (Virginia) and is a Trail Patrol and Board Member for the Northern VA Park Service's W&OD trail. He is currently working on an album of his songs, editing a book on Black Sabbath and writing a novel.
Rick continued to play guitar and write music, as well as build a small collection of vintage guitars that have included a '52 Les Paul, a '66 Telecaster, a '26 Gibson L-0; a '46 Gibson J-45; a '49 Gibson LG-2, a 1956 Gibson J-160e; a '68 Martin D-35, a Custom-made Wechter, a 1996 Rob Allen Esquire, a 1984 Merv Cargill Custom Stratocaster, 1982 JV Fender Stratocaster, a Gittler and others, along with several vintage banjos.
In 2004, he decided to blend his interests in communications with guitars, when he became the publisher of an on-line guitar website, Modern Guitars magazine, as well as served as its Feature Editor. He would meet with and interview such luminaries as Les Paul, Slash, Steve Vai, Roger McGuinn, Nokie Edwards, John McCutcheon, Eric Burdon, Randy Bachman, Johnny Winter, Eric Johnson, Robert Cray, Judy Collins, Scotty Moore, Neal Schon, and many more.
After five years, he decided to start Guitar International, relying on the legacy content of the old site, while developing a better designed and more robust site for guitarists. With the contributors, columnists and advertisers migrating to Guitar International, he decided to focus on developing GI's social networking and marketing areas, to help "get the word out" and build readership.
By gaining the services of a Senior Marketing Consultant (Chris Davis) and Dr. Matthew Warnock as the site's Editor, Landers felt that the new staff of Guitar International would bring GI new vigor, deeper musical perspectives, and drive international traffic to the site. During 2015, Dr. Warnock and he will continue to offer strong content to GI readers and grow the site's GI eStore with ebooks, audio books and videos at great prices. The GI eStore's most recent release is author, Steven Rosen's, Free at Last: The Story of Free and Bad Company.

I'm new to the forum! And I'm hoping to get some advice from all you horse owners out there :) I own a Friesian X Quarter Horse mare who I bred to a Friesian stallion back in July 2013. She is just now starting to show signs of being pregnant (I'm really the only one who notices because she is very narrow-- not so much anymore LOL). Anyways, this is my first time breeding and I'm starting to stress out about her feed and her due date
Right now she is on an alfalfa/bermuda grass hay diet. Has been on it all her life. I know that fescue grass is harmful to pregnant mares but is there any chance that it could possibly be mixed in with my Bermuda? I'm probably being overly paranoid but I don't want to take any chances! She also gets half a scoop of integrity senior/ O&M morning and night with her Mare Plus supplement.
She gets worked at least 3 times a week. I've been trying to keep her in shape but I think now I'm going to have to lighten the load as her endurance is starting to slow down.
She has gotten her 5 and 7 month shots and I also want to know what you guys recommend about her receiving her annual shots before she foals. I've heard so many different opinions on this.
Thank you in advance! Also, I'm planning on keeping the baby for myself
And just for fun what do you guys think the foals color might be? My mare is a Buttermilk Buckskin out of a Cremello dam and Black Friesian (obviously)

Under Lion, I had added Dropbox and the Activity Monitor to the Login Items section of the Users and Groups control panel. After upgrading to Mountain Lion, these were removed, and I cannot add them back via the + button, via dragging and dropping or via the dock-->options-->Open at Login.
The problem is on my Macbook Air 11inch late 2010. It IS NOT a problem on my mid 2011 Mac Mini running Mountain Lion.
Anyone having similar problems or thoughts on how to correct this?

7 Characters Daniel Brühl Could Play in 'Captain America: Civil War'
Posted on Monday, November 17th, 2014 by Angie Han
Marvel announced last week that Inglourious Basterds star Daniel Brühl would be joining Captain America: Civil War. That in itself is big news, because Brühl is a great actor and we're always happy to see him. But what really got fans buzzing was Marvel's decision not to offer any hints whatsoever abut his role. That opened the door to a whole lot of guesses, some more out there than others, and we got to wondering whether Marvel might be keeping his character a secret for a reason.
Officially, the studio has said only that Brühl would appear in Captain America: Civil War and that they're excited about his "ability to deliver intense, nuanced performances." However, the trades soon reported that Brühl would be playing a villain (though maybe not the main villain), and that he could return in Doctor Strange as the big bad for that film. So who is Daniel Bruhl playing in Captain America: Civil War, really? Hit the jump for our best guesses.

She created a storm last week when she flashed the world her lady parts in her Tom Ford gown at the Les Miserables premiere, but Anne Hathaway looks as though she's finally learnt her lesson.
The 30-year-old Hollywood actress, who got a bit too confident with her dominatrix style boots and lack of knickers earlier this week, sported one her most conservative looks to date at the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles yesterday.
Both Anne and Amanda look conservative and respectful for Hugh's big day - Splash
Anne pitched up alongside fellow Les Mis co-star Amanda Seyfried to support Hugh Jackman at his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony yesterday as he received a coveted star on the illustrious walkway wearing a dapper navy blue suit with a pale blue open white shirt and his rugged stubble intact.
Anne looked elegant after a long string of wearing cut out black designer dresses and eventually going sans underwear, looking raffiné in collared and long sleeved knee-grazing black dress by Prada.

But it wasn't too boring as the star added a pair of Jackie Kennedy-esque oversized sunnies, and the dress was adorned with diamante jewels on the collar and waistbelt to spice things up a notch.
The actress, who has been lapping up the attention surrounding her 25lb weight loss in recent months, decided to cover her bits up for a rare change, and looked great for it – simply adding a pair of simple Aldo vegan patent pumps to complete the timeless outfit.

Meanwhile, 27-year-old Amanda Seyfried also cut a striking image in a classic Burberry trench coat worn as a statement fashion piece for the event, simply teamed with opaque tights, black ankle boot heels and a black leather bag.
"It's kind of a surreal day," Hugh revealed to E! News about the honour.
"I'm excited. The star is right here outside where I got to host the Oscars and if the movie gets nominated [for an Oscar], it'll be nice to get up there and show a little bit of the show to everybody,'' he added.

I decided to take photos of how I store my sewing supplies and how I set up for cutting and sewing. I thought it might give others who don't have a dedicated sewing room ideas.
I have a small 3 bedroom ranch and I do daycare in my home so leaving out SM's from day to day is not possible at all. If I need to sew a quick mending job I just grab a machine and sit at the kitchen table. But if I have a couple hours to a full day I set up in a bedroom that is also sort of like a playroom. Or I set up in the livingroom if my husband is out of town.
Many times people are looking for shelves and I found perfect shelves to fit my small space to hold some of my SM's and sergers. The shelves come in every available size and the shelf height is adjustable. Info about them is written under the photos (and under all the photos) I also use fold in half tables and have absolutely no problem with them not being sturdy enough. They work perfectly.
I am dreaming of the day when I won't have to 'set up' but for now this has to do. If you're interested in how some one without a dedicated sewing room manages to still enjoy their passion, have a look. The photos start with my kitchen table ready to cut on:
My No sewing room sewing

------Thank you Lord for my mother who taught me the joy of sewing, for my father and husband who encouraged my sewing, for the talent You gave me to sew, and for all the special people in my life to sew for.
Pj3g, I love many of your ideas. I do have a 'sort of' dedicated space. But it is also my home office and is open to the rest of the house. So I'm always looking for ways to make it look nicer. I love the ideas you have for thread and bobbins. and the tackle boxes. - so easy. I especially like the idea of the little notebooks. That kind of record would help me so much.
Thanks for the great Ideas.
Thanks for sharing! You have a lot of good ideas for storage.

✝The Lord is my Light and my Salvation: whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 27:1✝
Thanks you so much for posting this Pj3c! I won't have a dedicated sewing space and I was racking my brain trying to figure out how to be organized yet still functional. Your pics and ideas helped so much!
It would be nice to keep this thread going so that those of us with smaller spaces could gather ideas and exchange information.
When I get mine set up, I'll post. Mine will be in my bedroom. Right now I"m using part of my counterspace that is table height.
What did you decide to use for your sewing tables? They look about the right height and very functional in addition to being storable!
It's fantastic!
Awesome detailed organization, I envy your dedication to keeping it perfect too! I'm another one who is spread throughout a couple rooms and have tried various set-ups, but haven't found any I'm totally happy with. Nothing flows right, it's still too discombobulated to be efficient and probably always will be unless we get rid of all the bedroom furniture - which isn't going to happen, though I've been seriously entertained thoughts about it.
Part of my problem is having several vintage machines in their wood cabinets - they take up a lot of space and can't all be kept in only one or two rooms or moved around easily when necessary. I usually put my serger and Kenmore on my kitchen table and open the cutting table in the middle the spare bedroom, which completely fills up that room. I have to push the table back and forth to walk around it as I cut fabric or trace patterns and wind up walking or bouncing into the bedroom furniture a lot. Luckily I can leave things up and out for short periods of time w/o always having to pack it all up and store everything like you. That would make me nuts, and I doubt I would get much sewing done. I like things organized, but convienient. I don't have either at the moment! lol
Great job, thanks for posting! Lots of good ideas.
Cool! You have so much stuff, and you are so organized! I sew in the living room. My stuff is stored in the living room too. If I had a closet with doors... alas I try to make it look neat though, I just kind of probably don't.
You have a very nice setup. I do wish more people without a designated sewing room would post their photos. Sometimes those that have to "make do" come up with the most creative ideas for storage.
Great photos!
My space is similar to yours--I sew at my kitchen table (machine) or in the living room (hand), and cut on the dining room floor. The dining room is also my prep room and where I keep my dress form. When my active stash started taking over the dining room, I knew I needed a storage solution, but b/c it's in a central part of the house, it had to be *attractive.* Last summer, I finally found a solution! I found this beautiful hutch that fits everything perfectly
(Where the grey bin in the center is, now lives my serger!)
The purple box in the lefthand corner of the cabinet space is a pressboard set of decorative drawers from JoAnn, which holds my scissors/rotary cutters, and other small notions. Rulers and yardsticks go underneath the cabinet (you can see them in this photo with the doors open, but they're not visible IRL. My big cutting mat slips behind, against the wall. Usually my machines are out on my kitchen table, but there's plenty of room inside the hutch to store them in the "off season" (ie, when we have company).
The top shelf is for book storage. I was *shocked* that my entire sewing library fit in there, with room to spare! The plastic bins are project bins--everything for a particular project fits in each bin. Fitting those bins (and the machine in its case) was the primary requirement for the storage unit. I'm lucky that I also have an office upstairs where all my "inactive stash" lives, but since I actually do all my *work* in the kitchen/dining room, I really needed a storage solution that was flexible enough to hold everything I needed, depending on what I'm working on.
Here's my sewing spot:
It's just our kitchen table, but I replaced my Ott (which wasn't bright enough) with that pretty torchiere, which just happens to match the existing light fixture! The picture on the wall is one of my pieces of stitchery, which I framed and hung there. I had been looking at a blank wall and the ugly Ott for *years,* until I decided that the place where I make pretty things should be just as pretty as the things I make.
I am *thrilled* with my sewing space re-org, both in terms of functionality, and in terms of how it looks when everything is all tidy and organized! -- Edited on Today at 4:58 PM --
------~Gem in the prairie
I love your hutch! It's beautiful and so practical too. Great find!

So, I'm preparing for an upcoming 7 day trip with a friend. I have used a Minibull Elite stove and a snowpeak Ti Bowl to good effect as a solo cook set up, and I recieved a Trek 900 kettle as a gift last Christmas. I want to be able to boil 3 cups of water in this pot over an alcahol stove for my friend and I, but it's not working. I have the Elite and the Minibull and 5' hight windscreen 1/4 in from the side of the pot, and even with 2.4 oz of alcahol I still didn't quite get it to boil. Does anyone have any advice for me?
consider trying 2 batches of 1.5 cups each
I haven't used a minibull elite, but I have used simular stoves. I would have expected 24oz could be boiled with around 1oz of alchohol. My ion stove uses around .7oz with my Evernew .9L pot.Are most of the flames staying under your pot or are they going up the sides. What cool are the flames? I assume that you are setting the pot directly ontop of the minibull?--Mark
Have you tried a lid? If you haven't, that sometimes helps. (Aluminum foil will work.)Also, do the instructions with the stove (or on the website) give any indication of maximum batch size? Maybe the flame size just isn't designed large enough to do what you need to do. If so, your solution may be a different stove (consider the Clikstand.)
Also, do the instructions with the stove (or on the website) give any indication of maximum batch size?Glenn might have a good point here. Some of Tinny's stoves tend to be finely tuned for fairly specific uses. The elite is one of his smaller stoves.For alcohol stoves where the pot is in contact with stove, the pot draws heat from the stove, which in turn reduces the rate at which the alcohol vaporizes, which in turn reduces the the heat available to vaporize fuel, etc, etc, etc.You'll see evidence of this at work when you read Tinny's instructions. There are three stages of burn 1) the stove is lit 2) flames show up from the jets 3) the flames "blossom" (get much bigger). If you set the pot on stove before stage 3 the stove often is not generating enough heat to keep running.It could be that your 3 cups of water draw so much heat from the stove that it is operating a low output and never generates enough output to exceed the rate at which the pot of warm/hot water looses energy.
Jim,I agreed with your first post. Alcohol needs to vaporize to burn. Large quanities of alcohol are a heat sink that delays vaporization.If you want to heat more than 2 cups of water then it is best to use two stoves or use the same stove twice.Soft drink cans are used because they are the optimal gauge and the Al has good thermal properties.
As others suggested... if you aren't using a lid of some sort, do so. It should improve things.> If you want to heat more than 2 cups of water then it is best to use two stoves or use the same stove twice.If the mini-bull elite is so fine tuned that it max capacity is 2 cups, and Douglas wants to boil three cups then I would respectfully suggest the answer isn't two stove or using one stove twice. I would suggest use the stove which matches his needs. The vast majority of alchohol stoves can efficently boil 24oz.--Mark

It pays to read what Tinny says about the stove:"This is a very frugal stove perfect for the solo backpacker who is counting grams and only cooking for one."Have you thought about buying a slightly larger stove designed to cook for two?The Sketti is a much more powerful unit - see the review on this website.
Well, thanks for all of the input people. The stove I have been trying to use is not the Elite but the Minbull, wich is much bigger. The elite in theory might do the trick with 1oz of alcahol but alas it was not to be. The Minibull is a much bigger stove and I've been able to put at 2.4oz of alcahol in it. But it doesn't seem to work right. It's sopposed to burn 1oz un 8min but it has burned 2oz in 8min and still not boiled three cups of water. My little Trek 900 is pretty narrow and the minibull is not, so I tried an old stainless pot that's wider but still to no avail. All tests have been with a lid and fairly tight windscreen. I even built a 5" hight ex-tra-tight windscreen for my Trek 900 to try and capture more of the heat from the Minibull. For the moment I've decided to take my canister stove on this hike and figure out an alcahol solution later. I'm thinking that the theory about the extra water obsorbing to much heat from the stove and not letting it work right might be the issue. I'm seeing a lot of yelow flame wich is not a good sign. Perhapse a stove that uses a seperate pot support is what's called for. But that's more weight and complexity, and I already own 3 different alcahol stoves (I've also got a mini sith that I havn't tried for this experiment. Based on past experiance I don't think it would work and I'm paranoid about loosing the thumbscrew.) I know the use one stove twice thing would probably work but it would be a real pain in the neck and not so effecient. So I've got to crack this nut eventually but I think I'll do some more research and wait for annother pay check to come in. What stove(s) have people used to cook for two?
Douglas,What type of alcohol are you using?Ben
I've got a Clikstand gathering dust in the basement. I'll pull it out tonight or tomorrow and verify that boiling 3 cups of water is a piece of cake for it. I'll check the weight, too. If it works, and if you're interested, I'll make you a good deal on it (with right of return if you don't like it) - we can work that out later.I really like it, for an alcohol stove. However, I've decided that for most trips, I prefer the slightly lighter weight and greater convenience of a canister stove (current favorite: Snow Peak with a Trek 700 pot and spork.) Also, I work with pre-teen and teenage kids a lot, and there's just too strong a chance that one of them will decide to see if I'm lying to them about the alcohol being poisonous ("He's just saying that so we won't drink it...")
Doug:I've just conducted a backyard test of my Clikstand. Caveat: conditions may not be what you normally encounter. It's about 75 degrees here, with very light breeze (<5 mph.) I put 3 cups of water in a .9L Evernew titanium pot, with the lid laid on (not firmly in place). I only used the Clikstand base, not the upper windscreen, hoping to simulate a stronger breeze. I filled the Trangia stove about half full. At 5 minutes, I had small bubbles clinging to the bottom; at 10 minutes, larger bubbles on the sides and bottom, at 11 minutes I had steam and a light boil, and at 12 minutes I had a full rolling boil. I still had about a third of the fuel left.I think the Clikstand will do what you need it to do. It also has the capability of using the 1.3L Evernew Titanium pot. It's incredibly stable, and the base (which is also a ventilated windscreen) and upper windscreen have managed any wind I've encountered. (I didn't go look this up, but there's a review of the Clikstand on this website and I seem to recall that, to a point, wind actually improved its fuel efficiency - but you'll want to find the review and verify this yourself.)Now, as to weight: The .9L pot and lid weighs just shy of 5 ounces. The Clikstand base, upper windscreen, and Trangia stove (with both lids) weighs 9 ounces. So, you pay a weight price to get the performance you need (you can get the same performance with a 3-ounce canister stove - but you need to include the 3 ounce empty cylinder weight, for a total of 6 ounces.)If you're absolutely wanting to use an alcohol stove, and are willing to pay the slight weight penalty, the Clikstand will work. If you're interested in having one, I'd be willing to part with mine (plus both pots) in exchange for the shipping cost. Give me your email if you're interested, and I'll contact you outside the forum.
Edited by garkjr on 09/15/2006 14:23:40 MDT.
The wight penalty makes it not really worthwhile, and I guess I'm just a bit obsessed with really light stoves at the moment. The fuel ends up weighting more on long trips and the stove has to be really lite to make up for it. It's encouraging to hear you results though. I'm thinking that the stoves that use a seperate pot support are the way to go for this application. I'm thinking about trying my hand at home brewing a Go-Torch. Thanks again for your testing and hopefully someone will by your stove.
> I'm seeing a lot of yelow flame wich is not a good sign. Not only is it not a good sign, it is a really wierd observation. As Benjamin asked, just what are you burning as a fuel???
Sounds like we're headed down the same line of thought. I was, at first, fascinated with alcohol stoves and the Clikstand seemed to be the best out there. (I was seduced partly by the Trangia snuff-and-seal feature, thinking perhaps that would let me get by with just a tankful of fuel for a weekend. It doesn't.)After a lot of two-night side-by-side tests (camping where it was easy to loop back by the truck during the day), I've come to prefer the small canister stoves (Snow Peak, in my case.)I'll gladly keep my Clikstand; if nothing else, it's good for doing Scout demonstrations. I wasn't really trying to sell it; I just thought if you could use it, you could have it - better to get trail dust on it than basement dust.

Ingmar Bergman's Scenes from a Marriage was originally created for television and has acquired classic status inspiring many other films and directors.
This adaptation for the stage of Scenes from a Marriage is by Joanna Murray-Smith (whose play Honour enjoyed a major success at the National Theatre and in the West End) is an emotionally powerful and compulsively visceral exploration of what happens when a marriage disintegrates.

Myrlie Evers-Williams, widow of Medgar Evans, speaks at a rally to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on Saturday, Aug. 24, 2013, in Washington. Tens of thousands of people marched to the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial and down the National Mall on Saturday, to commemorate King's famous ""I Have a Dream" speech, made Aug. 28, 1963, during the March on Washington, and pledging that his dream includes equality for gays, Latinos, the poor and the disabled.

WASHINGTON - The speech Myrlie Evers-Williams will deliver today on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial comes 50 years late, but some say her message is as relevant as ever.
Evers-Williams, widow of slain civil rights activist Medgar Evers, was supposed to speak at the 1963 March on Washington but never made it because of travel delays.
Today, she will join President Barack Obama and former presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmie Carter at a Let Freedom Ring ceremony commemorating the anniversary of the original march, which took place Aug. 28, 1963 and was the occasion for Martin Luther King Jr.'s ...

I would be lying if I pretended that I didn't feel like crud. Therefore I won't. I maintain a pretty tough guy image when it comes to my travel schedule and things like calling in to work sick. Usually I don't have trouble with this since I travel fairly well, don't get food poisoning from water or different cuisines, have come up with ways to get the sleep I need on planes and in hotels in different time zones, and generally can suck it up if I am tired. Also I don't really get sick very often and when I do I can typically shake it off.
Today I m trying to shake really hard but this late winter cold took hold of me on Friday night and I have been suffering ever since. I am up and running this morning and have made it to the boat of the commute. My schedule is somewhat light so I am hoping to make it through the day without too much trouble. But oh how I wish I were still in bed.
The high schools musical was this weekend and my niece played the lead role. D3 was in the costume group and thus on hand for all three performances. B3 and my sister in law hosted the cast party Saturday night with Mary and I assisting as chaperones. So as in years past we were awake until 1:30 or 2:00 both nights. Mary also volunteered to drive the girls back to school which ended up taking her four hours. No surprise we all went to bed last night at 8:30. I'm certain I snored poor Mary out of sleep many times last night and when the alarm rang. Oh boy.
I am going to try and doze off for the rest of the trip here. Pulling to dump the cold over the course of the day and heading towards vacation at the end of the week.
And that makes me happy.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - The expanding number of doctors offering appointments through videoconferencing, called telemedicine, is expected to see a sharp increase.
The Courier-Journal reports telemedicine is seen as a way to help deal with doctor shortages, especially in rural areas and especially with another 600,000 people in the state who are expected to join insurance rolls in health exchanges and or through expanded Medicaid coverage.
Dr Greg Jicha, a neurologist at the University of Kentucky's Sanders-Brown Center on Aging, says the technology "is really going to increase access to care."
A recent report from the Kentucky Telehealth Network says there were almost 6,200 video-conference doctor visits in 2011.
Officials say that number is expected to grow as more insurance companies allow telehealth services.

Kampala - A Ugandan court on Wednesday started hearing the case against two Ugandans accused of engaging in gay sex, the first trial of homosexuals here since a severe law was enacted in February.
The detained couple appeared before a magistrate's court in the Ugandan capital, Kampala, to apply for bail after prosecutors said they had enough evidence to proceed with the case.
Ugandan police arrested the couple in January as they fled an angry mob, said the Human Rights Awareness and Promotion Forum, a local watchdog group.
Prosecutors have lined up several witnesses to testify against the two, who have been charged with engaging in sex acts "against the order of nature," said their lawyer, Ladislaus Rwakafuuzi.
Although Uganda has had anti-gay legislation since the colonial era, President Yoweri Museveni enacted a law in February that strengthened criminal penalties against gay sex.
Gay leaders report that scores of Ugandan homosexuals have gone underground or fled the country since the new law was enacted. The law has been widely criticised in the West as draconian and unnecessary in a country where homosexuality had long been criminalised.
In signing the bill, Museveni said he wanted to deter Western groups from promoting homosexuality in this East African country.
Some Western countries have since withheld or cut aid to Uganda over the law, urging the country's legislators to repeal it.
Ugandan government officials have described Western pressure over the bill as blackmail. - Sapa-AP

James Jones (right) was the guest with co-host John Kuhn on Clubhouse Live on Monday.
- Filed Under
Green Bay Packers fullback John Kuhn co-hosted Monday's Clubhouse Live, Post-Crescent Media's live weekly football show.
Wide receiver James Jones was Kuhn's guest.
They talked about scoring touchdowns, dealing with the officials, the challenge of catching long passes and embattled Lions center Dominic Raiola during the show, which can be seen live at The Clubhouse Sports Pub & Grill in downtown Appleton or online at clubhouselive.com.
Here are select answers from the interview:
Q: The offense has put up some great numbers this season, but you've been having difficulty finishing drives with touchdowns. Will that be a point of emphasis as you prep for Sunday's game against Baltimore?
Kuhn: Bottom line - we scored more points than the other team, so that's the most important part is getting the team win, getting the 'W.' And we did that. But it's kind of scary the success that we're having in wide areas. We have some situations where this guy's really great at this and this guy's really great at that. And as an offense, it all can kind of come together. But I think you hit it perfectly when you said that we start finishing some drives and start making these three-pointers (into) seven-pointers - we're going to be a dangerous team.
Q: You scout officiating crews, correct? And was Sunday's flag-happy crew down an official during the game?
Kuhn: First quarter, the side judge pulls a hamstring. I said, 'Figures. Comes to Lambeau and pulls a hamstring.' So he left the game, and they had to do some switching around. I don't think they had too much fun (on Sunday). We do a scout of the officials - the players don't, the coaching staff does - and they'll give us a couple of highlights. 'These guys like to call holds more. These guys like to call pass interference more.' No matter what they call, they usually call it on us. It has been kind of tough this year.
Q: You blew past Lions corner Chris Houston in hauling in that career-best 83-yard touchdown reception. Can those sometimes be the toughest catches, when you're wide open?
Jones: No question. You're looking at the ball, and you're like, 'Hurry up and get here.' Because you see the (defender) running and chasing you, and you're waiting on the ball, and you're like, 'Hurry up and get here.' But yeah, those are the toughest ones.
Q: Lions center Dominic Raiola has been accused of yelling homophobic slurs and other derogatory things to members of the University of Wisconsin Marching Band before Sunday's game. If true, and he was your teammate, what would you tell him if you heard him say that?
Kuhn: You've got to love the band members for Wisconsin. They come out, they're basically volunteering their time to make it a more enjoyable experience here at Lambeau Field. Minding their own business. Playing an instrument. And they're getting harassed by a football player. It's very sad. I don't think that would ever happen with a Green Bay Packers player. I don't think it could ever possibly happen - not on Coach Mike's (McCarthy) watch. Not on (general manager) Ted Thompson's watch, or (president) Mark Murphy's watch. We wouldn't do that.
Jones: I don't really know what was said, but just knowing the past and things that have happened with that crew (of Lions players), I wouldn't put anything past them. Words can't describe - I can't really say how I feel about those guys right here. Lot of disrespect. Lot of disrespect.
Kuhn: This is pretty serious. This goes back to ? just don't be a bully.

The wife of Pennsylvania's budget secretary must spend three years on probation for fleeing from police while driving drunk in Cumberland County last year.
Georgina Zogby, 48, of Moores Mountain Road in Fairview Township, appeared for sentencing on Tuesday, where Cumberland County Common Pleas Judge Edward Guido handed down her punishment.
He also ordered her to pay $850 in fines, according to court records, according to The Associated Press.
Zogby was convicted Sept. 28 in a non-jury trial of fleeing or attempting to elude police, DUI, running a stop sign and making an illegal turn. State police said Zogby fled from officers about 1:15 a.m. July 10, 2011, in Monroe Township.
She remains on probation in York County for a DUI case.
On July 2, Zogby was sentenced in York County to 120 days on electronically monitored house arrest and ordered her to be on probation until March, defense attorney Bill Fulton has said.
Fairview Township Police said Zogby was driving her BMW on Moores Mountain Road about 2:45 p.m. Sept. 28, 2011, when she lost control of it. The car ended up on its roof, blocking both lanes of the road, police said.
Her blood-alcohol level was 0.117 percent, according to charging documents. In Pennsylvania, an adult is driving drunk at 0.08 percent.
On April 19, Zogby pleaded guilty in Cumberland County Court to two counts of retail theft for stealing merchandise from T.J. Maxx and groceries from Wegmans.
In that case, she was sentenced to five years of probation and ordered to perform 60 hours of community service.
Fulton has said Zogby continues to maintain her sobriety and receive counseling.
She is the wife of state budget secretary Charles Zogby.

Stressed-out teens will especially love the renewing benefits of massage, tai chi, watsu, and hula lessons. The variety of sleeping options include campsites, lodge rooms, and cottages
Sometimes, as the early Hawaiians knew, the best journeys are inward.
A typical Kalani Escape package includes meals, classes, wellness treatment and a half-day adventure.

Some days I despair about the quality of management we have in some of our important industries. Don't get me wrong. We have some excellent companies with smart management, but some of the decisions by the Ports of Auckand and Talleys AFFCO just don't cut it.
Yesterday the Ports of Auckland admitted they had leaked private information about one of their employees to a blogger who then reproduced it. Apart from being a breach of privacy, it was incredibly unethical, it is unprofessional and shows a serious lack of judgement by the management.
Then it was revealed that the wharfies have been welcomed back to work with multiple spy cameras on their machines, security guards in the lunchroom and a ban on exhibiting MUNZ logos on their clothing or belongings.
Treating your workers like they are the enemy is not a good way to go about mending bridges.
And there's good old Talleys trying to waste SFO time and taxpayer money by claiming irregularities in the Meat Workers Union accounts. It only took the SFO a day to figure out this was a baseless complaint and reject it.
No one is pretending employment disputes are easy and I really want to see both PoAL and Talleys AFFCO settled.
But both these companies appear to be getting really bad advice. Its almost amateur hour stuff and would be laughable if the consequences weren't so serious.
I agree with Len Brown. Heads need to roll at PoAL. He can make that happen.
Not much can be done about Talleys sadly. They just lurch from one outrageous violation to another.
Off to join the march at Moerewa.

Wood Rot Repair | 10 Places to Check for Potential Wood Rot
How common is wood rot? According to Ohio State University Extension entomologist, William F. Lyon, nearly 10 percent of the wood produced in the U.S. annually, serves as replacement material for damage caused by wood decay. Early identification serves as the key to avoiding extensive and costly repairs. Learn what causes the problem and the 10 places you should regularly check for wood rot in and on your home.
What is Wood Rot?
It helps to understand what causes wood decay, so you can more easily spot it. Fungal colonies are the culprit, and two classes of wood rot exist. One results in a brown discoloration and crumbly appearance, lending it the name "brown cubical rot." The other has a white or yellow look, and the wood becomes stringy or spongy. The fungi grow when dry wood comes into contact with moist soil or repeated condensation, such as from leaking plumbing or downspouts. Fungi also can extend for 30 feet or more across non-wood substances to wood.
10 Places to Look for Wood Rot
- Attic — A leak in your roof can allow water to seep in, causing fungi to grow. Improperly vented dryer or exhaust fans also can cause condensation to form, creating the potential for wood rot.
- Under Sinks — Check under sinks in both the bathrooms and kitchen for leaking pipes. If not caught early enough, a leak can result in wood rot in the cabinet floor and subfloor beneath.
- Basement — Improperly graded landscaping surrounding your home can cause water to collect around the foundation and potentially seep into your basement, where it can come into contact with structural and surface wood.
- Windowsills — Sweating windows can create conditions perfect for wood rot in windowsills, both inside your home and out.
- Thresholds — Check for signs of wood rot on thresholds near exterior doors; don't forget any sliding glass doors in your home, where water can seep into the tracks.
- Steps & Stoops — If your home has wooden steps, or a stoop not only exposed to the elements but near moist soil, inspect the areas regularly.
- Decks — Look for signs of wood rot on any posts or other parts of the structure in contact with soil.
- Eaves — Improperly installed roof flashing, a roof leak or clogged gutters create conditions ripe for wood rot.
- Wood Siding — Regularly inspect this most important part of your home for signs of wood decay.
- Fences — Check along the bottom of the fence line, including posts and gates.
As mentioned above, wood rot can result in extensive and costly repairs when not caught early. A professional carpenter can thoroughly check your home, inside and out, for signs of wood rot and make any necessary repairs.
A professional handyman also can point out areas with potential for fungi growth and provide prevention solutions. Preventative measures — such as structural changes to your home and surrounding areas, plumbing repairs and chemical treatments — prove far less costly than repair or replacement.

A few weeks ago the Boston Globe published a thought-provoking editorial about the need for charters in Massachusetts to retain more students with special education and English language learning needs. As the Globe's editorial board puts it in a memorable conclusion, "Charter schools place great value on their independence from bureaucrats and teachers' unions. In keeping with that value, they shouldn't depend on district schools to absorb their failures."
The editorial follows a report that the Massachusetts Teacher Association released earlier this year which found extraordinarily high rates of student attrition at many high-scoring Boston charter schools. That report concluded that based on the number of students who left the charters before graduation, some schools which had been praised as model learning environments for urban students could actually be considered "drop-out factories" under current federal and state guidelines.
As New York decides how to implement its own new charter law's provision about the recruitment and retention of students in the state's public charter schools, it would be useful for them to consider the Massachusetts and make student attrition an important factor in deciding whether or not to label charters as successful.

August Schafer, a prominent town of Empire farmer was instantly killed when struck by a bolt of lightning. Mr. Schafer was in his field plowing when a violent thunderstorm came up. As the rain began to fall, Mr. Schafer left his team and hurried to the shelter of a large oak tree at the side of the field.

This afternoon the bird was still perched in a tree in front of the Holterman residence and refused to come down. Mrs. Holterman believed that the bird was frightened from its perch on the front porch.

Why do I feel like Charlie Brown approaching the football with Lucy as my holder?
Was I the only one who thought tonights 7 p.m. meeting was so the CSU stadium advisory committee could inform CSU President Tony Frank on whether the university should or could build an on-campus football stadium? Did I miss an email?
The advisory committees own website says at the top of its home page: The Stadium Advisory Committee has been convened to look in-depth at the issues involved with building an on-campus stadium and to make a recommendation to CSU President Tony Frank.
Now were told some spin about how blah, blah, blah will provide reports blah, blah, blah about the feasibility of building a new stadium.
Despite the waffling, the stadium is as sure as Lucy pulling the pigskin and Charlie thudding to the ground.
The campus-wide financial reasons to build the stadium dwarf the inconvenience of game day traffic six days a year, neighborhood noise from the roar of the crowd on the rare occasion when CSU scores, on campus game day parking problems and coeds puking on front lawns.
Whether by design or dire straits, CSU president Tony Frank and athletic director Jack Graham have made this much more than just a stadium. Theyve done what every bright politician has ever done add enough amendments to the bill to make it palatable to the constituents.
Sure, theres a 42,000-seat stadium serving as the white elephant plopped down in the south-central area of campus. But theres much more. There are much needed parking garages, student housing, alumni center and spruced up greenhouses to serve as an olive branch to on-the-fence Aggie donors.
And, very importantly, there is finally the prime opportunity for CSU, a campus which you pretty much have to stumble on to find if an out-of-towner, to create a gateway to campus from anywhere, in this case Prospect Road.
Despite the delay, Sonny Lubick Field at Stryker Stadium, or whatever other corporate name comes up with the correct coin, is on the drawing board and not that far from a grip-and-grin photo of Frank, Graham, Sonny and Stryker with golden-bladed shovels ready to dig in.
Id help them dig but my back hurts.

And this, A post about a poorly Kenwood.
And this, lovely pavlova's
Well, we have been talking and thinking and then more talking about whether to get our Kenwood restored or to buy a new one. Both of which we have baulked over the cost. You see if I was going to get another Kenwood, I would like to get a top of the range one, one with metal body and a high spec motor, one that may last another 60 years. One, the boys (or their wives) will fight over come the time I go to pastures new.
I wonder if Ken Wood (yes really, his name was Ken Wood) had any idea what he was inventing all those years ago of which we had the first off the production line. Or should I say hubby's Mum did. I wonder if he knew the pleasure he would bring millions of women and their families and friends. Did he have any idea. Or did he know and secretly was very pleased with himself when he saw how beautifully he was making his motor and knew that it would last a very long time. That it was built on the lines of a high quality roller and not an old banger to get you from a to b. I wish I knew the man and was able to thank him for all those happy times me and my Kenwood have had together.
And yet we remained in a state of flux not knowing which way to go, to restore and admire the lines of beauty of the machine we have known and loved for so long, or to go the whole hog, and buy something new that we will be able to play with for many years down the line. What with our Kenwood having lost its mincer, sausage maker, other gubbins many years ago. (we think in a house move). But still the cost, wow the cost.
When, we decided to look at just how many points we had accrued on a card that hubby has had for many a long year and just uses to pay for petrol that he has been collecting the points for, for 23 years. It had rather a lot of points, enough points to all but pay for this little baby. I was quite giddy with excitement as we finalised our choice of machine.
May I introduce our oldest of Kenwoods, as you can see from the vent on the first machine it is a single vent, the next machines had two vents (or something like that)
Next to each other. The old and the new, our new one has a much bigger bowl, much easier to do battle with dough and Christmas cakes and double mixes of delicious cake mixture and with a 1500w motor, compared to our 500w on the old machine, I don't think it will cause any trouble.
I made a chefs salad to go with our supper, it took seconds in the food processor which fits so nicely on the top.
I thought I would whip up a few fairy cakes for the knitters tomorrow.
They might need sustenance, we have a new range from Drops by Garnstudio in which has been eagerly anticipated by our Saturday knitters.
I tried to pipe, but I am rubbish at piping, especially when I couldn't find the right sized piping nozzle.
I've been missing my Kenwood, I have.
I think we are going to have a lot of fun, can't wait to try the sausage maker!

Richard J. Goldstone to Lead Human Rights Commission Fact-Finding Mission on Gaza ConflictApril 03, 2009
The United Nations Human Rights Council today announced the appointment of Richard J. Goldstone, former Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda and current Spinoza Fellow at the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study in the Humanity and Social Sciences, to lead an independent fact-finding mission to investigate international human rights and humanitarian law violations related to the recent conflict in the Gaza Strip.
Justice Goldstone has held the William Hughes Mulligan Chair in International Legal Studies as a Distinguished Visiting Professor at Fordham Law School twice in recent years, and he will visit again in Fall 2009. In 2007, Fordham Law presented him with a Doctor of Laws, honoris causa, the highest honor the school can bestow.
"I am confident that the mission will be in a position to assess in an independent and impartial manner all human rights and humanitarian law violations committed in the context of the conflict which took place between 27 December 2008 and 18 January 2009 and provide much needed clarity about the legality of the thousands of deaths and injuries and the widespread destruction that occurred", stated the Human Rights Council's President, Nigerian Ambassador Martin Ihoeghian Uhomoibhi,. Today's appointment comes following the adoption of a resolution by the Human Rights Council at the conclusion of its Special Session on 9 and 12 January convened to address "the grave violations of human rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, particularly due to the recent Israeli military attacks against the occupied Gaza Strip".
"It is in the interest of all Palestinians and Israelis that the allegations of war crimes and serious human rights violations related to the recent conflict on all sides be investigated. It is my hope that the findings of this mission will make a meaningful contribution to the peace process in the Middle East and to providing justice for the victims," Justice Goldstone stated upon his appointment.
Justice Goldstone is the recipient of several international human rights awards and most recently the MacArthur Foundation Award for International Justice to be presented at The Hague on 25 May 2009.
