John Cale
Or Music
Please, will someone give John Cale a break? Yeah, the words "Velvet Underground" seem to always follow his name in any given discussion, but fer chrissakes--the old guy hasn't played with them in 36 years, and you know, he has produced some albums since (Patti Smith's Horses; the Modern Lovers' and the Stooges' self-titled debuts). And add to that--albeit on a lesser scale--Cale's own HoboSapiens, a multi-layered marvel that's a textbook example of how dissonant samples can have meaning beyond irony, and of just how insidious pop music can be. The earnest Welshman is in top form here, with atypical tales of art, history and, of course, his own paranoia. Lyrically, HoboSapiens is an album for freshman literature class, where the stoic Prof. Cale connecting the dots between people (Archimedes in "Archimedes"; Magritte in "Magritte") places (Denver and Paris in "Things"; Zanzibar, the Alps and Rome in "The Look Horizon") and things (Zen, cars and girls on a number of tracks). But Cale's arrangements are bold, frequently employing Bj�rk-like electronics while relying on an impressive cast of hired hands for further orchestration. Brian Eno lends not only samples (on "Bicycle") but his own daughters as well, who share backup vocal duties. What results is a crisp, utterly remarkable album of depth and accessibility--one that will, hopefully, remind listeners that life for Cale didn't end back in '68.

4dr SUV
(2.5L 4-cyl. 4x4 4-speed Automatic)
I wanted to do an update. After 2 plus years of ownership, I have not had one unscheduled problem ( coming up to 75k mileage ). Gas mileage has still
hovered between 25 to 28 mpg ( I drive mostly highway//off hours do to work schedule).
Like the design on most CUVs, the interior noise can be impacted/augmented by wrong tire choice.
Think of the inside shell of the vehicle as a big chamber. I replaced my original
Continental tires with another brand (Mastercraft) and after 10k mileage the tire hum is horrible. Not the fault of the vehicle per se, but something to think about if replacing tires. I will be replacing them again.
I have had good service with my local Toyota dealer and oil changes are actually cheaper than Jiffy Lube. (Typically I change my own oil but allowed the dealer to change oil for this vehicle)
Spark plugs are rated at 100K but I may change them soon for piece of mind (especially as the engine is mostly aluminum and the plugs can be difficult to remove at higher mileage).
Paint is still awful for factory. It does chip easily. The same can be said for late model Hondas. Factory radio isn't great but serviceable.

Two more swimmers are believed to have drowned this weekend while wading at Long Island beaches.
In the first case, 50-year-old Nicholas Kalogeras of Whitestone, Queens, was found dead at 8 p.m. Friday when his body washed ashore in Tobay Beach in Massapequa, New York State Parks Police said. Witnesses had reported seeing a body floating in the surf east of Field Six more than six hours earlier.
Two days later, rough surf conditions in the Atlantic Ocean appear to have claimed another life.
Leslie A. Wanek Sgaglione, 45, of Old Brookeville, was pulled out of the water by good Samaritans at an Amagansett beach shortly after 2 p.m. Sunday, East Hampton Town Police said.
The woman was taken to Southampton Hospital where she died about an hour later. The swimmers who tried to help her were treated at the scene.
The Suffolk County Medical Examiner will conduct an autopsy to determine the cause of death.
In both cases, authorities said the victims were swimming in sections of beach that are not protected by lifeguards.
Prior to these instances, there had been four drownings at ocean beaches on LI this season.

November 29, 2015
Denver (AP) Experts say Colorado needs statewide high school graduation standards if it hopes to reduce the number of college–bound students who need remedial training. Mike Cohen of the nonprofit organization Achieve says one in four Colorado high school graduates needed remedial courses in writing and math in 2003. That was before they were allowed to take college courses.
He spoke to education and business leaders at an education
summit convened by Governor Bill Owens, Thursday. The meeting was meant to find ways to ease the transition from high school to college.
Beginning in 2008, Colorado will require students to take
certain courses to get into college, including four units of English, and three units each of math, science and social sciences.

With nearly all precincts reporting, Eugene DePasquale has scored an easy victory for re-election in the 95th state House District.
DePasquale, a Democrat also running for auditor general, had 15,879 votes with results in from all but two precincts.
His opponent, Libertarian Dave Moser, had 3,251 votes.
DePasquale apparently also won the auditor's general race and said he will resign from his House seat if that happens.
That means a special election would be held to name his replacement.

At the western end of the Plaza de Armas is the former residence of the men who governed Cuba. A succession of some five-dozen Spanish captain-generals (also called governors) lived here until 1898, and the U.S. governor called it home prior to the Revolution. The wooden "paving" on the plaza in front of it was installed on the orders of a 17th-century captain-general, who wanted to muffle the clatter of horses and carriages so he could enjoy his naps undisturbed. Today the palace is the Museo de la Ciudad de la Habana, with such unique treasures as a throne room built for the king of Spain (but never used); the original Giraldilla weather vane that once topped the tower of the Castillo de la Real Fuerza; and a cannon made of leather. Groups of pioneros often gather in the gallery here for art-history classes, and you can buy art books in the on-site shop. Inside it to the right is a plaque dated 1557; it commemorates the death of Doña Maria de Cepeda y Nieto, who was felled by a stray shot while praying in what was then Parroquia Mayor, Havana's main parish church. The tomb in the pit to the left holds the remains of several graves discovered in the church cemetery.

UK — Jobs in the UK oil and gas industry up by +25%
04 May 2010
According to international online job board OilCareers.com, jobs in the UK oil and gas industry have risen by almost +25% in the first quarter of this year.
The agency said in a statement "vacancies in the UK oil and gas sector rose from 1,893 to 2,335 between January and March this year."
The increase followed a steady decline in overall vacancies for the first eight months of 2009, added OilCareers.
The increase followed a steady decline in overall vacancies for the first eight months of 2009, added OilCareers.
The biggest growth has been in IT opportunities, where vacancies are up over 50%. Meanwhile, growth has also been strong in engineering, where opportunities have increased by +30% in the last three months.
Job openings in the geo-science sector were up by more than +45% in the same period, while the sales, marketing and human resources sector, the area worst hit during the downturn, saw a 25% recovery in available posts.
Globally, the industry has seen a +12% rise in vacancies in the first three months of this year, with engineering opportunities and geosciences up by about +25%, sales and marketing up +65% and IT posting the biggest surge of +70%.
Mark Guest, Managing Director of OilCareers, said "we saw signs of recovery from August last year as the commodity price began to stabilise, but things have really picked up industry-wide in the first quarter."
"It is true to say that we are not yet back to the critical skills shortage of 2008 but the industry is very definitely moving up a gear and in the right direction."

I'm contemplating the three following: mesh, sil-nylon & 4-way stretch.The mesh would offer visibility, drying and drainage but would seem to be more susceptible to snagging on branches.I believe sil-nylon would be the lightest and the contents would slide in and out easily but, if something was wet inside, it would be slow to dry and the bottom would be susceptible to wear when the pack was on the ground. The 4-way stretch would seem to be the least amount of work. I could just sew a flat piece on like Granite Gear does on their packs. No pleats, billowing, etc. However, I'm guessing the elasticity would fade with time and it may be tricky to sew (might stretch??). I'm also guessing it would be the heaviest material of the three. I'm favoring the lightest option but if one is that much better for other reasons, I'd be open to using it at the expense of a few extra grams.Which material for these pockets do you prefer and why?
Edited by rustyb on 01/14/2010 18:32:00 MST.
if it were me i'd go sil for the bottle pockets and stretch for the big stow pocket (if using the standard 3 pocket configuration). Balances the weight, protects the mesh from snags and allows easy in out of bottles on the trail. The stretch pocket keeps the lines clean when nothing or little is in it, also helps control little things from coming out of pocket.You can use a stretch mesh or a 4way lycra. Both should let stuff dry pretty good.-Tim
stretch mesh imo, it won't snag too bad, YMMV, but i've used a bag made from nothing but for a while now.plus, it's the best for the purpose of drying stuff. you will get deformation eventually with the 4-way
how about a combination. the leading edge of the side pockets can be something snag free, like a light weight cordura or silnylon. but the rear half could be mesh. That way, when you're walking forward through the brush, the leading edge will not snag, but the trailing edge will be breathable.also, if you have a particular water bottle in mind, tailor it for that size. the tighter it is stretched, the less it will snag.
rusty,Another option is to use uncoated nylon for your pockets and put narrow elastic in the top seam. 1.1 oz ripstop is much lighter than spandex, and the only mesh that is lighter is Thruhiker's nanoseeum net which in my experience gets religious (holy) too soon. Wash out any water resistant coating and any spilled liquids will drain right through the ripstop. I use that on my 6 ounce UL packs.On my heavy-duty thruhiking pack, I made my pockets with 1/4 inch mesh bottoms and used silnylon for the bodies of the pockets. The bottoms are less likely to snag but ensure quick drainage when the water or fuel leaks.
What kind of stretch mesh is everyone using for this sort of thing, and where are you getting it?
While driving, I noticed the local fabric store was having a 50% off sale so stopped and found a 4-way stretch mesh material called "speaker cloth". It felt very similar to what Granite Gear uses on the "helmet flap" on their Wisp pack. This "speaker cloth" was 84% nylon and 16% spandex....and looked (felt) to be many times more durable than the spandex that's used in bike shorts and such.Anyone have experience with this type of material?I like all the ideas everyone has presented. Keep'em coming. Thanks!
"you will get deformation eventually with the 4-way"En...or whomever else would like to opine,This is my main concern with using any type of stretchy material. For side pockets though, maybe it's not such an issue. What's the worst that can happen: I end up with a slightly saggy pocket with a stretched out opening?
Rusty,I used urethane coated nylon for the bottom pleated section of the pockets. Silnylon will work just fine. I was using what I had laying around for my pack project.A polyester shirt, from my repair/doesn't fit right pile, was used for the top of the pockets.Top and bottom were joined using a felled seam. Top was elasticized through the original bottom hem of the polyester shirt material.The polyester does have some 4 way stretch to it but the nylon bottom reinforces its lower edge. The elastic keeps the upper edge gathered and snugs the pocket up against the water bottle. Unless I am removing the water bottle there is minimal upward stretch if any.If you use this method be aware that the polyester tends to gain in length as you sew the first stitch line of the felled seam. I trimmed it from the edge of the nylon to the corner of the polyester. I simply removed the excess "triangle" of material and kept all my original dimensions the same.Good luck with your project.Party On ! 2010Newton
Great resourcefulness. I appreciate you taking the time to post the photos.rusty
John, I really like that pack. The double pockets look great. Rusty, I made a few packs with 4 way stretch pockets. Only complaint was that they dried very slowly and slowed the drying of the contents of the pockets.
Hi David,Thanks for the input. Have you noticed your 4-way losing some of its stretch? How much were your packs and pockets used?rusty
Edited by rustyb on 01/25/2010 09:18:55 MST.
David,Thanks for the kind words regarding my pack.>Rusty, I made a few packs with 4 way stretch pockets. Only complaint was that they dried very slowly and slowed the drying of the contents of the pockets.I had the same concern regarding the pockets. I use a pack liner and no pack cover. The pack itself is 95% PU coated ripstop nylon. I have some plastic snap in grommets that I got from Quest Outfitters. I plan on popping them into a relatively unstressed area of the pockets near the bottom to aid in "drainage". It probably won't solve the problem completely but I'd only be concerned about it if it is raining.Thanks again,Party On ! 2010Newton

Not all the Avengers are equal, according to their pay packets anyway.
Sources have revealed to trade mag The Hollywood Reporter that Robert Downey Jr. was the top paid star in 'Avengers Assemble'… but it's a shock by just how much. The 'Iron Man' star picked up $50m (£31m) once bonuses and his share of the profits are totted up – and this will rise as the film makes more cash.
The rest of the cast picked up just a fraction of this though.
Reportedly Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye), Chris Evans (Captain America) and Mark Ruffalo (The Hulk) will earn between $2m and $3m (£1.25m – £1.9m); while Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury) and Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow) fare slightly better with a reported $4m – $6m (£2.5m – £3.8m).
So what's the reason for this disparity?
According to THR, after the success of 'Iron Man' Downey Jr.'s canny reps negotiated a deal that will see him take a percentage of Marvel's profits from any film in which he plays the metal-suited hero. The exact figure is debated, and neither Marvel nor the star's reps have commented, but when a film rakes in over $1bn in a few weeks any percentage is a cause for celebration.
The report will do nothing to dispel Marvel's reputation for being cheap with star salaries.
Did Downey Jr. deserve to earn way more than his fellow Avengers? Let us know in the comments section below…

Figure 5.
Cell-type analyses of BrdU+ cells in control and 5-FU-treated animals at early and late time points after completion of treatment. Co-analysis of BrdU incorporation with antigen expression was conducted as described in Materials and methods. Both control and 5-FU-treated groups were analyzed at (a,b) day 1 and (c,d) day 56 to evaluate the immediate and long-term effects of 5-FU treatment. Results indicate that division of both DCX+ neuronal progenitors and Olig2+oligodendrocyte precursors was reduced by systemic exposure to 5-FU. In the CC, the reduction in apparent division of Olig2+ cells was proportionate to the overall reduction in all BrdU+ cells. In the SVZ, there was an enhanced reduction of DCX+ cells from among the BrdU+population at day 1 but not at day 56. In the DG, there was an enhanced reduction in the dividing DCX+ population at both day 1 and day 56. In addition, the proportion of GFAP+ cells in the CC was increased among the BrdU+ population at both time points examined. Data are mean ± s.e.m; *p < 0.05, in comparisons with control animals (confidence interval = 95%, by unpaired, two-tailed Student's t-test).

IMTA produces multiple weeklong competitions, including one in New York, and Los Angeles, consisting of modeling, acting, singing and dancing. Hundreds of fashion and talent agents, personal managers, casting directors, network representatives and music producers judge IMTA competitions while searching for new models, actors, singers and dancers to work in the fashion and entertainment industries.
Organizers with IMTA contacted Trammel in August and invited her to audition for the January competition in L.A. Trammel first got her modeling start in the Spring of 2012, when she signed up for Barbizon Modeling at a shopping mall. "I had been asking my mom to try modeling for more than two years now," said Trammel. "Whenever my friends or my dad's coworkers would tell me that I could be a model, I would go back and tell my mom about it and finally my mom gave in."
After auditioning and being selected for the show, Trammel had to travel to Charlotte once a month to prepare as part of a team of 55 people who would be competing in January.
Once in L.A., Trammel describes the experience as being "Go, Go, Go." Going to L.A. was the farthest trip West I had ever made," she said. "As soon as I got there I was nervous, but after I started preparing for the competition and saw the other models, I felt like I really belonged in the industry. It was go, go, go the whole week I was there."
Trammel participated in modeling classes that focused on public speaking, healthy nutrition habits, and photo shoot tips.
After landing in California, Trammel had the distinct honor of being one of 13 females selected specifically by Michael Maddox, an internationally known runway expert on directing and producing fashion shows all over the world, to participate in a fashion show featuring clothes by Angela Dean.
While preparing to appear in the Angela Dean Fashion Show, Trammel competed in the IMTA Modeling and Talent show, walking away with four trophies and two medals, including being named third runner up in the Junior Miss Model of the Year competition, where she won $50.
While competing individually categories such as in Fashion Print/Runway, Jeans, Makeup, Swimwear and TV Beauty, Trammel competed as a team in Team Fashion.
Since returning to Franklin, Trammel said she has just been focusing on catching up on sleep. "I just went nonstop while I was out there, so I have been catching up on sleep and trying to adjust to the time change," she said. "I am still on cloud nine."
Trammel's mother, Dawn Trammel, who accompanied her daughter on the trip, said she couldn't be more proud of her daughter's drive and accomplishments in such a short amount of time. "Kellie has been begging me for two and a half years to model, and with everything you read and hear on the news about the industry, it is hard to let your daughter get into an industry notorious for exploitation," said Dawn. "But after going with her this week and seeing everything firsthand, I am a little more openminded about letting her move forward with her dream."
Trammel credits her success in California to the experiences she has had in Franklin. "I think being active in the shows put on by the Overlook Theatre Company and in my high school drama club really gave me an edge in L.A.," said Trammel. "I was used to performing and competing for spots, so it wasn't entirely new for me."
In addition to performing at the local shows, Trammel is a pretty typical teenage girl. She plays volleyball, basketball, swimming and soccer.
Trammel is currently managed by Ice Agency, which acts as both her manager and talent agent. "I have been scouted by big name agencies like Wilhelmina and New York," said Trammel. "Right now I am trying to convince my mom to home-school me so I can do modeling full-time. Some of the agencies have already said that I would need my entire summers to prepare for things, so if I wanted to be able to do this, I would have to be home schooled."
While her mom is not too keen on the idea of letting her teenage daughter grab life by the horns just yet, Dawn is considering home school as an option. "I plan on doing modeling for as long as I can, and then when that is done, I want to move into film acting," said Trammel.

My stallion has just been diagnosed with the above, so I was wondering if anyone on here has ever dealt with it before as it is very common in small breads eg Miniature horses and british Shetlands. The vet said it isn't bad enough to need operated on but he is have a lot of trouble right now with his legs. A couple of days after his lameness exam to find out why he is always stiff his patella dislocated about 5 days ago now and is still lame, he is on box rest and pain killers but I was wondering how over people treated their horses/ponies also I was wondering if there was anything that will help prevent his knee caps from dislocating as the vet said there wasn't anything but I want to try my ****edest to get him and keep him sound and he is my heart horse.
Sorry for the long story and I hope it makes sense.

Millipede: Part 6
by MillipedeI hated the the underlying spirit which had crept into our marriage; it was a peevish, disapproving air that my husband had taken on. In our "heathen" days my husband had a happy go lucky air. This was endearing and made up for the fact that he could be irresponsible.Under Christian patriarchy this changed. Not only was he now "head of the household", but he was responsible for making sure that we lived a "Godly life". This permeated every bit of our life as we didn't want to be "Sunday Only" Christians; God was not someone that we turned our back on for the other six days of the week.This affected how I dressed, what we ate, what entertainment we watched or listened … [Read more...]

The wives would gripe very rarely about their husbands and the work and if they did they were sure to say that they weren't in disagreement with the system, ,merely letting off a little steam.The women were just as much true believers. This isn't as I first thought/hoped in that Patriarchy can be a humane system for women.

The Door County Community Foundation (DCCF) has announced that Lee Traven made a significant gift to the charities of Door County by including the Traven Family Fund in his estate plans.
The Traven Family Fund is a permanent endowment that Lee established at the Community Foundation to forever benefit the charities he cared about the most. Every January, the Traven Family Fund plans to make donations to benefit the following organizations that he loved:
? The Ridges Sanctuary
? Peninsula Music Festival
? Good Samaritan Society - Scandia Village
? The Clearing
? Ministry Door County Medical Center Foundation
? Lawrence University - Björklunden
? Wisconsin Public Radio
? The Sustainability & Advancement Grants Program of the Door County Community Foundation
"While some donors prefer to remain anonymous, Lee established the Traven Family Fund so that his family's name will live on forever in our community," said John Herlache, chairman of the DCCF board of directors. "Our highest responsibility at the Community Foundation is to honor Lee's instructions and make gifts in the Traven family name to benefit these organizations. Publicly announcing these distributions every year is one of the ways we're going to ensure that Lee and his family are never forgotten."
Olivia Traven, Lee's mother, regularly visited her grandmother in Baileys Harbor and eventually made it her lifelong home. Always active in civic life, Olivia would become one of the co-founders of the Ridges Sanctuary.
Fred Traven, Lee's father, was active as a Boy Scout leader for nearly three decades and served as president of the Ridges Sanctuary.
Lee Traven grew up in Baileys Harbor. He served in the U.S. Air Force in Texas, California and Japan. He lived and worked in Manhattan for thirty years, and traveled throughout the world. But his heart always called him back to his home of Door County.
After retiring, Traven returned to Door County and began a new career as one of the community's most engaged residents. He served on the boards of the Ministry Door County Medical Center Foundation, The Ridges Sanctuary, The Clearing, Peninsula Music Festival and Scandia Village.
As a result of his inspiring community leadership, Traven was named the 2010 Philanthropist of the Year by the DCCF. He passed away on April 22.

I've grown increasingly frustrated with the worship music that's used in the charismatic end of the Church: I have wished the words had more theological content and poetry; I have wished the words and music related better to each other and essentially made more sense.
But this week The Tablet reports that Tom Wright, the former bishop of Durham, in a new book Finding God in the Psalms (SPCK), considers the charismatic end of the Church "crazy" for abandoning "the Church's original hymnbook" and relying on pop-style music that weaves in only the odd line from them.
As someone still safely below the average age of a Church of England worshipper I can say Anglican psalm chant has yet to do anything for me (maybe my brother is to blame for introducing me to Derek and Clive's outrageous parody of it when I was a teenager).
And as for the pop-esque worship songs – which one devout septagenarian friend described as "mono-music" for its lack of variation – I maintain that they have their place. I have stood in among the thousands of young people praising away at the big Christian festivals for half an hour, even an hour at a time, and I am pretty sure they would not flock there for that amount of organ-accompanied hymns, anthems and psalm chant. A friend who became a Christian in adulthood said that hymns remind her of school assembly and leave her cold. There is clearly a place for the modern style, which at its best has wonderfully direct and challenging lyrics and puts worshippers at their ease.
They make a great appetiser for discovering more of God. Yet after a diet of only those for a number of years, these songs had not nourished me with lines that would comfort or guide in the face of life's knocks, as some older hymns did. That's when I turned to the psalms, read in silence at home when I felt alienated from the loud half-hour worship sets that seemed at that point, dare I say it, like a clanging cymbal.
Dr Wright's complaint that modern songs do not reflect the breadth of the psalms is indicative of a limitation of more than just the song preferences of that end of the Church. I have attended workshops where worship leaders expressed views similar to his and musicians were told that modern worship music fell far short of the variety of the psalms. I went away and had a go at writing a song of lament only to be told it wasn't appropriate for congregational use. While my lines may not have been Grammy material, it was the mood that was criticised, even though next to the Bible's fabulously red-blooded psalms, that looked pretty tame.
And there seemed to be a similar unease with silence. At a church I used to attend, another friend who had struggled with depression asked the vicar if he could open up the side chapel for silent prayer at the end of evening services. But even the attempt was well received – on one occasion I counted 17 people crammed in there. It clearly met a need that the rest of the service, its up-beat worship and accessible sermon, did not.
The psalms are dangerous tools to allow people to use – they are emotional, sometimes furious, sometimes contradictory. They don't all fit into six-verse formulae that have happy heavenly endings. Judging by the songs it champions, it looked as though the charismatic end of the Church, lively and welcoming as it is as an ecclesiastical shop window, lacked the confidence to accompany people in the darker places of life.
Charismatics are used to participating in church music, not being sung at. If Dr Wright wants psalms back regularly, they may have to be band-led and loud. But as long they are as red-bloodied as the Hebrew originals, I think the style would be a price worth paying.

Lyrics od a charismatic song by Stuart Townend:
You are my anchor,
My light and my salvation.
You are my refuge,
My heart will not fear.
Though my foes surround me on every hand,
They will stumble and fall
While in grace I stand.
In my day of trouble
You hide me and set me above
To sing this song of love.
One thing I will ask of You, this will I pray:
To dwell in Your house, O Lord, every day,
To gaze upon Your lovely face,
And rest in the Father's embrace.
Teach me Your way, Lord,
Make straight the path before me.
Do not forsake me, my hope is in You.
As I walk through life, I am confident
I will see Your goodness with every step,
And my heart directs me to seek You
In all that I do,
So I will wait for You.
Lyrics of a song by Third Day:
Your Love, Oh Lord
Reaches to the heavens
Your faithfulness
Stretches to the skies
Your righteousness
Is like the mighty mountain
Your justice flows like the ocean's tide
I will lift my voice
To worship You my King
And I will find my strength
In the shadow of Your wings
And there are hundreds more like them.
There is a fundamental error at the end of this very helpful piece. It's a mistake to equate listening to music with 'being sung at'. For example, listening to the psalms sung in plainchant can be a very powerful, spiritually nourishing form of participation. Which is one of the reasons why I make regular retreats at a Benedictine monastery where the psalms are sung by a monastic choir in both modern English and in Latin.
I'm a (Catholic) music minister, and we had some really wonderful (folk-style) settings of the psalms that we had used for years and the people really knew and sang. When the new translation came in, we were informed by the diocese that we could now only use psalms that had the wording exactly as it is in the Missal. We managed to tweak a few, but many of our favorites can only be used as communion songs now, and we don't necessarily think of them when selecting music.

The Facts Haven't Changed: Arming the Syrian Rebels is Still a Terrible Idea
In Foreign Affairs, Michael Bröning makes an impressively weak case for directly arming the Syrian rebels. He acknowledges the unfortunate fact that aid and weapons from Arab Gulf states have "primarily reached the more extreme groups," but claims that the new National Coalition Opposition, which President Obama and more than 90 countries have officially recognized, "changes the conflict's parameters." He argues that "Arming and financing the National Coalition could strengthen the more moderate opposition forces in Syria."
…the facts on the ground have increasingly overrun the standard arguments against supporting anti-Assad forces, and the case for arming the rebels grows stronger by the month.
Critics of a more active support for the opposition have long bemoaned the lack of a coherent opposition body that could bring together the various political and military opponents of the regime. But now, the newly established Syrian National Coalition for Revolutionary and Opposition Forces, which was founded with U.S. assistance in Qatar in November, has done just that.
Actually, it hasn't. The Coalition is supposed to be made up of Syrian dissidents and opposition groups from across the spectrum. But it is largely another exile group without strong roots inside the country. There little evidence the Syrian people accept it. But there is strong evidence it has been vehemently rejected by the armed rebel groups fighting the Assad regime. And the fact that it was formed as a US initiative grants it even less legitimacy. After all, as Bröning readily admits, arming the rebels would be meant to "accelerate the end of the Assad regime" for the sake of "Syrian and Western interests" (a redundancy to imperialists).
Bröning acknowledges the aid and weapons already being sent to Syria's rebels by Arab Gulf states have largely gone to extremist jihadists, some of whom have ties to al-Qaeda. What he doesn't say is that this occurred despite the CIA's efforts to facilitate the delivery of these arms towards moderate groups. Going back at least six months, intelligence officials have been telling the press (Washington Post, Los Angeles Times) that the truth is that the US had little control over who received the assistance.
Nor does Bröning explain what is to happen if and when the Assad regime does fall. He argues that fully committed Western support would make moderate elements of the Syrian opposition stronger than the extremists. That is unconvincing. But even if it were true, we'd still have a situation where rebel group was pitted against rebel group and an ongoing proxy war would be likely to result. Furthermore, all the rebels have proven capable of is fighting, not state building, social services, and post-conflict reconstruction. The opposition, despite the hopes and dreams of people like Bröning, is still very fractured and many of these groups would imitate the Libyan rebels and refuse to cede local control and, importantly, their weapons.
The overwhelming fact is that the interventionist policies in Syria are worsening the conflict. UN rights chief Navi Pillay has repeatedly condemned the continued flow of weapons from foreign powers to both sides in the Syrian conflict. "The ongoing provision of arms to the Syrian government and to its opponents feeds additional violence," she said. "Any further militarization of the conflict must be avoided at all costs."
And supporting rebel groups in civil wars has a terrible record throughout history. As usual, the rosy picture of the future painted by self-assured interventionists never materializes. A recent study out of Brandeis University concluded "the distillation of historical experience with civil war and insurgency, along with a sober reckoning of conditions on the ground in Syria, make clear" that arming the rebels is "likely to amplify the harm that it seeks to eliminate by prolonging a hurting stalemate."
Update: To further illustrate sectarian and messy choosing one side over the other can get, today brings news of Syrian rebels battling with pro-Assad Palestinian groups.
Clashes between Syrian rebels and an armed Palestinian group loyal to President Bashar Assad raged inside a Damascus refugee camp Tuesday, as the Syrian military deployed tanks outside, activists said.
…as the civil war deepened, most Palestinians backed the rebels, while some groups — such as the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command — have been fighting on the government side.
Update II: Beyond the predictable risks and contradictions with getting even more involved in this fight, there is then the practical issue (with heavy moral weight) of what I've previously called the fatal conceit of policymakers in Washington thinking they have the knowledge and ability to engineer a particular outcome from this chaotic mess.

Good article John,
On another note:
Hopefully yourself and Ditz will look into the Peter Engel story (who was supposedly kidnapped in Syria) which doesn't pass the smell test. The MSM tells us he was captured by "Pro-regime gunmen" but just yesteday they claimed it was an "unamed group." His release also sounds like baloney. I believed the REBELS/FOREIGN TERRORISTS released him once it was made clear that he was there to cheer-lead for them. If it had been Patrick Cockburn or Robert Fisk who had been captured, things probably would've taken a different turn.
It doesn't really matter whether they arm them or not. It might produce a significant boost for the insurgents in terms of being able to shoot down helicopters and jets and blow up tanks, but in the end it's manpower and shoulder-fired weapons that own the battlefield. The insurgents can't match the Syrian military in that regard.
Since the end game is and always has been foreign military intervention, arming the insurgents is just another step to try to degrade the Syrian military before that intervention occurs.
And as I've repeatedly stated here, the end game is to degrade the Syrian military and especially its missile arsenal so that it can not be an effective actor against Israel in an Iran war. Therefore foreign military intervention HAS to be done to achieve that, as it is unlikely that the insurgents can do it by themselves.
There is also the fact that Israel needs to take out Hizballah in Lebanon and that will require foreign military intervention in Syria as well in order to make that easier.
I stand by my prediction that the US and NATO – and probably Turkey and Israel as well – will be bombing Syria within the next few months.
At AW.C, John Glaser makes yet another weak case that he knows what he's talking about:
Glaser seems caught up in another straw man, 'arguing' whether the US should 'arm' the so-called "Syrian rebels"….when, in fact, this is what the US has been doing this entire time (which Glaser seems to even acknowledge at times).
There does not seem to be a shortage of weapons on the ground in Syria…that is for sure.
One logically wonders: what weapons, in Glaser's mind, can/will the US provide these so-called "rebels" 'directly' that:
(A) these so-called "rebels" do not already have and/or (B) the US is not already "providing" them–either "directly" or "indirectly" in coordination with certain states, such as Gulf Arab nations and Turkey which are already openly providing weapons/"training"/funding/fighters to these so-called "rebels"…
It seems somewhat ridiculous to argue whether it would be wise for the US to proceed to do what they've already been doing for over a year and a half now…but just to do the exact same thing with a slightly different rhetorical talking point spin in press conferences…
Glaser, along with many others, still just doesn't seem to fundamentally 'understand' the "conflict" in the first place… This is a "proxy war" (which may transform into a full blown 'direct war' relatively soon)…it always has been…
Arguments like these, however, are useful to "confuse" the "issue" entirely…which is one of the main reasons such 'proposals' are put forward by Administration "officials" in the first place.
Obama's 2nd term hasn't even begun, and he has "officially", on behalf of the US, recognized an 'new' Syrian government–a group which is currently in exile–and has denounced the Assad regime as illegitimate. This would not have been done if the game plan was simply to continue on aiding the so-called "rebels" with weapons/funding/"training/foreign fighters/other support…as it would have been completely unnecessary. Virtually everything the Obama Administration has done (all the 'steps' taken) with respect to Syria after the US election was 'won' two months ago, have been policy actions specifically designed to lay the foundation for a direct military intervention–which will involve, at the very least, US Air power… The Obama Administration clearly isn't interested in the "Syrian people", or even what happens after a hypothetical "Assad fall"–at least at this point…
The clear Obama Administration objective now is, for what ever reason, to get rid of Assad and dismantle the "regime"… The 'reality' on the ground in Syria, such as the so-called "humanitarian crisis" and poor 'security "situation" in certain areas, has intentionally been created, continued, and exacerbated by those waging the proxy war against Syria precisely to achieve that end (lay the foundation for direct military intervention in order to get rid of Assad and dismantle the "regime"). This should be obvious by now..
Let's call this for what it is. Arming the AL QAEDA army which the U.S. government officially supports.
Unofficially arming, Officially arming? There is a clear distinction between the two, and if one leads to the other, it then leads to something bigger. As best we can, I think we need to stay out of these conflicts. We're not interested because we care about human rights, we are interested because there is a destabilizing country which is currently not aligned with us.
As I understand it Obama is arming Al Qaeda. That does not make any sense. Obama seems to be aiding a terrorist group. We know what Al Qaeda does. We know what their goal is. So, why does Obama help them?
Oh. Was there a time when they didn't, at least unofficially?
The whole thing is a proxy war which started during Bush already. They want him toppled and will likely succeed.
There does not seem to be a shortage of weapons on the ground in Syria…that is for sure.

This website has very good content. Please let me know if you're looking for a article author for your weblog. You have some really great posts and I feel I would be a good asset. If you ever want to take some of the load off, I'd love to write some material for your blog in exchange for a link back to mine. Please shoot me an email if interested
So good to find somebody with some original thoughts on this subject. Thanks for starting this up
I am who I am because of you.
I agree with -Richard Steven Hack- It doesn't really matter whether they arm them or not. The problem is in the war. Simple people killing is awful thing and conflict in Syria is a big trouble for Syrian people.

The skills or learning process is called the education, in education students and teacher have equal role and they both have to work hard to get achievement in this field and they both are meaningless without each other.

On our last day of summer school, we threw a pizza party to reward our students for achieving certain goals in connection with their academic performance and behavior. We also had some chips available. Chips have been a very popular reward in our summer school reading class, especially Flaming Hot Cheetos. The Flaming Hot Cheetos are always the first to disappear when rewards are distributed. Red-stained fingers and red powder inevitably make an appearance all over our classroom. Woe be unto us if we run out of Flaming Hot Cheetos.
On the last day of class, during the pizza party, one of the four teachers who teach my students decided to give the Flaming Hot Cheetos a try. The students immediately protested.
"No, Ms. S, you don't want to eat those!"
"Ms. S, those Cheetos will GET YOU!"
Ms. S thoughtfully popped one of the Flaming Hot Cheetos into her mouth and raised her eyebrows as if to say, "Interesting…."
My curiosity was piqued, for I also had never enjoyed a Flaming Hot Cheeto…
Pause. At this point in the story, I have to share something I previously have not discussed in this blog. I am pregnant. Six months pregnant. Very visibly and obviously pregnant. Stick with me—it's relevant… Unpause.
As I reached my hand out toward the bag of Flaming Hot Cheetos for my epic first taste, two students immediately leapt in front of me. "NOOOOOOOOOOO!", they yelled. At this point, they were physically standing between me and the bag of Flaming Hot Cheetos with their arms outstretched and eyes wide. "Why not?" I asked. "They are HOT, Mrs. T!" I smiled. "I know. I can take it. I eat spicy things all the time." They looked at me, frustrated, "Mrs. T—the baby! You'll burn the baby."
Cute. I stifled a laugh, while assuring them that the baby could also take it. While I was touched by the students' extreme concern, I proceeded to enjoy my first Flaming Hot Cheeto. And they were right, it was hot. But the baby and I could take it.
We teachers, however, did start wondering what made the Flaming Hot Cheetos so spicy. The four of us gathered around the bag and started reading the ingredient list, trying to figure out what ingredient made them spicy. One of our astute reading students shook his head and muttered, "Man, you guys read EVERYTHING."
Yes, we do. And we hope that one day, you will, too.
I'll miss these students. Thanks for the laughs this summer. So proud of all of your many accomplishments.

Knoxville firefighters spent much of the night at the scene of fire that nearly destroyed a church.
Investigators from the Knoxville Fire Department and the ATF will be on scene Tuesday, working to determine what started the blaze at Mt. Calvary Baptist Church. Church members are also deciding what to do about future services.
10News will have more on that story throughout the day on WBIR.com and on Tuesday's 10News at 5.
Previous story
Knoxville firefighters have supressed most of the flames in a fire at Mt. Calvary Baptist church in the 1800 block of Dandridge Avenue in East Knoxville.
Fire officials say Monday night's fire is the largest one they have seen since the McClung Warehouses fire in 2007.
According to D.J. Corcoran of the Knoxville Fire Department, the fire started close to 4:45 p.m.
Eight people were working inside the kitchen area of the building when they smelled smoke. After walking from the east side of the building to the west side of the building they opened the door to the sanctuary and found fire and lots of smoke, firefighters said. They were all able to exit the building safely and call 9-1-1.
Church administrator Hildrith Gillespie was one of the people who made it out of the fire. She watched the church burn from her car after she discovered it. "We went and looked and we started smelling smoke and I called 9-11," said Gillespie.
Flames and what looked to be a "ball of fire" broke through the roof of the church. Once firefighters arrived, they found smoke coming from every window, door and overhang.
Crews started to attack the flames from the roof after pausing due to heavy smoke in the area. Since the smoke was so thick, the conditions could have led to a back draft which is caused if the smoke hits the air.
"A lot of times firemen will gauge smoke if it smells electrical, if it smells rubber...this smelled like a little bit of foam, so it might have been some of the pews some of the carpeting, some of the toxic black smoke that were coming out of there," explained Corcoran.
Crews had to cut a hole in the roof of the church to allow some of the smoke to leave the building before they were able to fight the fire.
Firefighters then also focused on protecting the part of the building that was not on fire.
Firefighters worked to salvage part of the building, but most of it is a total loss including the sanctuary roof. The cause of the blaze is still under investigation.
Officials have arrested one person for driving through the barricade and being intoxicated.
Church leaders and members of the congregation say they won't let this fire break them. "As the pastor always told us, this is our meeting place. The church are the people who attend here," explained Deacon William James.
Pastor Leroy Franklin said he is glad everyone got out of the building safely. "This is just where the church meets and we will continue to meet somewhere," said Franklin.
Franklin is relying on faith and the Christmas season to get his church through. "This is the time of the year when we are renewed that despite what else is going on in the world we still see what God can do with us and that's a good thing,"explained Franklin.
The church is known for hosting various cultural events throughout the year including a Kwanza celebration 10News covered in 2008.
According to the church's website, the church was established in 1913. The church added on to the existing building in 2005.
The church was set to hold a Christmas Concert on Sunday December 12.
The church is also the site of an adult day care program through the Alzheimer's Association called the Howard Circle of Friends. The program provides seniors with memory loss a safe place to stay five days a week.
The Association said some clients would typically still be in the church at the time of the fire, but on Monday all had left the building by 3:45 p.m.
The center will be closed for the rest of the week. If you have questions you can call 544-6288 or visit their website.

With less than two weeks until Election Day, California's Democratic gubernatorial nominee Jerry Brown has widened his lead over Republican rival Meg Whitman in a new poll.
Mr. Brown has widened his lead to 44% of likely voters, compared with 36% for Whitman, the survey finds. That gives him a lead just outside the poll's 3.5 percentage point margin of error.
The poll, by the nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California, is scheduled to be released tonight. Washington Wire viewed a summary of the survey and people briefed on the poll confirmed the numbers. The institute declined to comment on the survey.
Mr. Brown, the Golden State's former two-term governor and current state attorney general, was slightly behind Ms. Whitman in several polls in late August and early September. Since then, his numbers have climbed; a SurveyUSA poll released Tuesday gave the Democrat a 47% to 40% advantage.

The New Mexico Department of Health reported today that it has confirmed the state's first flu deaths for the 2012-2013 flu season. The deaths reported were a 91 year-old woman and a 94 year-old woman from Rio Arriba County, a 67 year-old woman from Bernalillo County, a 57 year-old woman from Lea County and a 56 year-old man from Chaves County.
The Department of Health has 26 providers and 37 laboratories that report influenza-like illnesses from October through May. Providers that participate in this surveillance network reported at the end of last week that 4.6 percent of their patient visits were for influenza-like illness. The percentage of influenza-like illness has fallen for two consecutive weeks in New Mexico.
"The influenza season started early and rates of flu-related hospitalizations are higher than they have been in recent years." said State Epidemiologist Dr. Michael Landen. "If you are not already vaccinated, it is important to get vaccinated now."
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the New Mexico Department of Health recommend that everyone 6 months of age and older get their flu vaccine to prevent the disease from spreading. Each year more than one type of influenza virus can circulate in our state and cause infections in people. This year's flu vaccine matches the circulating strains of influenza in New Mexico very well. The best way to protect yourself and your loved ones from flu is to get vaccinated.
Some flu-like side effects may result from vaccinations, but typically are mild.
"Over the years, hundreds of millions of Americans have safely received seasonal flu vaccines. The most common side effects are soreness, redness, tenderness or swelling where the flu shot was given and nasal congestion after the flu vaccine nasal spray," according to the CDC.
More adverse symptoms are possible, including, "difficulty breathing, hoarseness or wheezing, swelling around the eyes or lips, hives, paleness, weakness, a fast heart beat or dizziness," according to the CDC. "In addition, after vaccination you should look for any unusual condition, such as a high fever or behavior changes. If any unusual condition occurs following vaccination, seek medical attention right away. Tell your doctor what happened, the date and time it happened, and when the vaccination was given. Ask your doctor, nurse, or health department to report a possible reaction by filing a Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) form. Or you can file this report yourself through the VAERS website . You may call 1-800-822-7967 to receive a copy of the VAERS form."
NMDOH recommends people call their physician and pharmacies. The Department's public health offices provide vaccine to people who are at high risk for serious illness or death and people who have no health insurance. Public health offices are listed in the phonebook's blue pages under state government. Contact information for public health offices is listed at www.nmhealth.org
For information about the flu and flu vaccine clinics around the state, call the Immunization Hotline toll-free at 1-866-681-5872 or go to: http://www.immunizenm.org/flu.shtml
While everyone should get a flu vaccine each flu season, it's especially important that people in the following groups get vaccinated, either because they are at high risk of having serious flu-related complications or because they live with or care for people at high risk for developing flu-related complications:
¥ Pregnant women <http://www.cdc.gov/flu/protect/vaccine/pregnant.htm> (any trimester)
¥ Children younger than 5 <http://www.cdc.gov/flu/parents/> , but especially children younger than 2 years old
¥ People age 50 and older <http://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/disease/65over.htm>
¥ People of any age with certain chronic medical conditions <http://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/disease/highrisk.htm> like asthma, diabetes, and lung or heart disease and those with immunosuppressions from medication or disease
¥ People who live in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities
¥ People who live with or care for those at high risk for complications from flu, including health care workers and caregivers of babies younger than 6 months
¥ American Indians and Alaskan Natives
¥ People who are morbidly obese

Cooking with pumpkin, including pine nut pumpkin bread and chocolate chip pumpkin bread can be wonderful, warm seasonal treats.
- Filed Under
Linus stays up all night waiting for The Great Pumpkin. Me? I just grab a can of Libby's. OK, so that's not entirely true.
Most years, I can't resist buying a pumpkin. First year I bought my house, I gave the ol' Jack-o'-lantern my best effort. After a day or two in the Mississippi heat and humidity (even in October), the grinning globe started to mold and implode on my front porch. Not a good look for ol' Jack. It grossed me out, too.
If you can't beat 'em, eat 'em. So I stick to the pie pumpkin size. After admiring it on the counter indoors for a spell, I crank up the oven to 400 or 425, butter a baking sheet, ...

I think you're probably right.
They showed the the destruction of Vulcan in the trailer for the first movie! It completely ruined the surprise element in the theater for me.

Ryan, state GOP leaders pump up crowd in Harrisburg
MIDDLETOWN — From the deficit to jobs, the Romney-Ryan ticket won't duck tough issues and instead will "run at these problems," Paul Ryan told an enthusiastic crowd gathered here on Saturday, which included some of the state's top Republicans.
"I say in three days, we're in and Obama's out," Ryan, the GOP vice presidential nominee, said during a stop at Harrisburg International Airport, referring to Election Day on Tuesday.
Ryan heard chants of "three more days" from about 2,000 supporters like Chris Rice of Port Royal, Juniata County.
"I support the Romney-Ryan ticket and want to see them go on to victory," said Rice, who drove for 1 1⁄2 hours to get to the event. "Besides getting rid of Obama, we've got to get rid of Democratic senators."
Rice, 61, a retiree, said he places Sen. Bob Casey, D-Scranton, in that category because of policies he has supported that Rice believes are detrimental to coal. Rice wore a blue-and white "Coal equals Jobs" cap.
"We've got to stop spending money we just don't have," said Ryan, who campaigned separately from running mate Mitt Romney.
That hurts the economy now and passes off debt to "our children and grandchildren," Ryan said. "We can't wait four more years."
Former Gov. Tom Ridge told the crowd "the next time I see (Ryan), I'm going to call him Mr. Vice President."
"Our enemies, they're not fearful," said Ridge, the nation's first head of Homeland Security. "We need to be respected around the world."
President Obama is "appealing to our worst fears," Ryan told the crowd. "He suggests people vote out of revenge. Mitt Romney and I are asking you to vote out of love of country."
Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Lehigh, Ryan's former roommate in Washington, said the Democrats "want four more years. I say they've got three more days.
"Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are going to turn this economy around," Toomey said.
Gov. Tom Corbett encouraged people attending to get friends and neighbors to vote and to call any undecideds or independents and sell them on the Romney-Ryan ticket.

pronounced as 'shaw' (using English spelling), or 'shore' if you don't
pronounce the 'r' like a Scot! I didn't mean the pronunciation of 'shoh'
itself here, and excuse me if I was leading people astray. I meant people
putting an 'r' sound in where it shouldn't be, like the BBC people when
they say 'drawrings' for 'drawings'. I meant people saying 'Shaw ray' in
place of 'Shaw ay' or 'Shawkh ay' for 'Shoh eh'. I hope that's clearer!
