I am talking about what went into history as the Sept. 6-7 (1955) incidents, a state-sponsored campaign designed to transfer capital from minority businessmen to Muslim Turks and to intimidate non-Turkish communities into leaving their homeland to clear the way for a homogeneous Turkish state. The grudge from the Balkan War (1912-1913) and World War I, during which Turks lost an empire due to the nationalistic movements of its subject peoples, was so firmly ingrained in the collective psyche that it had to find a way to vent somehow.
The remaining non-Muslim, non-Turkish minorities in what was declared in 1922 as the Republic of Turkey became the scapegoats of the grief, sense of loss and humiliation of the Turk. They were systematically harassed until a massive campaign was staged in İstanbul and in other cities where minorities resided in large communities. The whole event was triggered by Greece's appeal to the United Nations to demand self-determination for Cyprus. In order to get rid of or to subdue the Turkish minority, Greek ultranationalists (grouped under the umbrella of the National Organization of Cypriot Fighters [EOKA]), began to engage in terrorist activities against the ruling British mandate in 1954. The British government summoned Turkey and Greece to negotiate a peaceful solution to the problem in London the following year. The incumbent Democrat Party (DP) in Turkey wanted to stage a show of force to demonstrate how strong nationalist feelings were and that the annexation of Cyprus by Greece would lead to disaster. The rest is a human tragedy.
According to recent confessions and documents unavailable for decades, an agent of the then National Intelligence Agency (MAH) planted a bomb in the house where Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of the Turkish Republic, was born in Thessaloniki. Photographs of the bombed scene torn apart were fabricated days before and brought to İstanbul by the Turkish consul's wife to be served to the press. Truckloads of people from various towns were brought in to attack minority businesses, homes and shrines, the doors of which were marked either days before or the night of Sept. 5.
Business places and shops were looted, shrines were burnt and people beaten by the thousands -- 15 Greeks (two of them priests) and one Armenian died while hundreds were wounded and some women were reported raped. Loss of property and wealth was so high that it was forceful enough to drive the point home that non-Muslim, non-ethnic-Turkish minorities were not welcome in this country. They left their ancestral homes and country by the droves, leaving Turkey devoid of its cultural richness, economic entrepreneurship and the social milieu where tolerance would flourish out of cultural exchange.
The Turkish public never opened this locked chest of extreme aggressiveness and intolerance to differences and did not allow its collective psyche to be cleansed through confession and apology to the victims. Conversely, those who subverted national feelings into a heartless policy to get rid of cultural minorities defended their action as a political victory.
Gen. Sabri Yirmibeşoğlu, who served as the head of the Special War Department and later as the head of the Intelligence Department of the General Staff, confessed to Fatih Güllapoğlu, a journalist, during an interview in 1991. In his exact words, the general said: "…[T]ake the Sept. 6-7 incidents, it also was a Special War [Dept.] job. And it was a magnificent event. Let me ask you; was it not a magnificent event." (Interview published in the weekly Tempo, June 9-15, 1991, issue 24). And what about the young agent Oktay Engin, who planted the bomb in Thessaloniki? He was smuggled into Turkey by the Turkish Consulate in that city. He was enrolled in İstanbul University's school of law. After graduation he worked in various departments of the police and was finally appointed governor of Nev?ehir, a city in central Turkey.
That "magnificent" event broke the promise of the Turkish Republic to its non-Muslim, non-Turkish citizens regarding their legal equality and security and cast a heavy shadow over the regime regarding its justice and neutrality towards its citizens. The ensuing law cases ended up with no punishment of the alleged perpetrators and left a deep scar as to the existence of the rule of law in public administration. Such a catastrophe and betrayal of the state to its people could only be covered up with a projection of guilt to the very minorities that were themselves the victims. The public image of minorities, billed as the "fifth column" and always ready for treason, poisoned this country's politics. The common citizen was led to feel that there were enemies all around so they ought to be constantly on the alert for the subversion of the "other." Unfortunately, the "other" has always been one of us, differentiating and fragmenting the nation. So the "nation-state" which is so exalted in official rhetoric never had a restful moment because the nation has constantly fought amongst itself since the inception of the republic.

Matthew 21:23-27New International Version (NIV)
The Authority of Jesus Questioned
23 Jesus entered the temple courts, and, while he was teaching, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him. "By what authority are you doing these things?" they asked. "And who gave you this authority?"
24 Jesus replied, "I will also ask you one question. If you answer me, I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things. 25 John's baptism—where did it come from? Was it from heaven, or of human origin?"
They discussed it among themselves and said, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will ask, 'Then why didn't you believe him?' 26 But if we say, 'Of human origin'—we are afraid of the people, for they all hold that John was a prophet."
27 So they answered Jesus, "We don't know."
Then he said, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.

What's New – Chevy updates the Cobalt SS coupe for 2008 with a 260-horsepower turbocharged engine borrowed from the HHR SS and a host of upgrades including Brembo brakes, a track-tuned suspension, mesh grille inserts, standard 18-inch forged aluminum wheels rolling on performance tires, deeply bolstered sport seats, and a low-profile spoiler. Collectively, it creates a daily driver capable of hitting 60 mph in 5.7 seconds and using up every bit of its 160-mph speedometer.
Why It Matters – Buyers interested in sport compact cars, those known for affordable performance with varying degrees of style tossed in, have long found themselves making payments to companies such as Honda, Nissan, Mazda, and Volkswagen. The previous Cobalt SS provided buyers with a domestic alternative, and now the ante has been upped with the 2008 version. Providing more ponies than most of its competitors, matching or beating base prices, and doing it all with the only 100,000-mile powertrain warranty in the bunch, the 2008 Cobalt SS coupe demands a second look from those seeking thrills on a budget.
Chevrolet Cobalt SS – 2008 First Drive: "Our rewards are directly proportional to the efforts that we make."
So said Colts quarterback, Peyton Manning, when addressing a group of roughly 1,100 people in 2004 during what was essentially a motivational speech about life. No doubt these are words to live by, but they hold particular relevance as we discuss, of all things, the Chevrolet Cobalt SS.
When first introduced as a supercharged model for 2005, the Cobalt SS represented Chevy's foray into the burgeoning sport compact scene, long dominated by Japanese rides bearing the names Honda and Mazda and Subaru, with a few others such as Volkswagen thrown in to round things out. General Motors, and the domestics as a whole, were largely absent, and though the 205-horsepower Cobalt SS made a strong case, it failed to gain widespread appeal.
Things just might change when word gets out about the 2008 version.
GM unleashed its Performance Division on the little front-drive Chevy, allowing this band of gearheads to play with everything from the powertrain to the steering. The supercharged four-banger was swapped out for a 260-horse turbocharged unit, the five-speed manual transmission offers a no-lift feature and short throws, the track-tuned suspension sits an inch lower than stock, the standard 18-inch rubber bears a Z rating, and the front brake calipers carry the Brembo name. It all boils down to a car starting at less than $23,000 that'll hit 60 mph in 5.7 seconds, offers 0.9g of lateral grip (Chevy's estimate), pegs the needle at 160 mph, and returns an EPA-rated 22 mpg city and 30 mpg highway.
The question remains: Will the 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt SS fly off dealers' lots when it goes on sale in April? Will the sedan version do the same when it debuts in July? If not, it won't be due to a lack of engineering effort, though it just might be due the one area that was seemingly overlooked – styling.

2008 Chevrolet Cobalt SS - Notable Features
There are two key elements that make the updated Cobalt SS stand out: its 260-horsepower turbocharged engine and its $22,995 base price. That Chevrolet, the company best known for building brutish full-size SUVs and pickups, would be the brand to deliver an entertaining and affordable sport compact worthy of causing the imports pause makes this all the more interesting.
In addition to the potent four-banger, the front-drive Chevy Super Sport also boasts four-wheel antilock disc brakes with Brembo calipers attached up front, standard StabiliTrak, a Competitive Mode function similar to that found on the Corvette, an available limited-slip differential, and standard front-side airbags. Word is a USB jack for direct MP3 connection will be available when the 2009 models debut this summer.

2008 Chevrolet Cobalt SS - Models and Pricing
Chevy has waited until the last part of the 2008 model year to launch the turbocharged Cobalt SS coupe. Sedan versions accompany the coupes when 2009 models go on sale in late July.
Priced from $22,995 including destination charges, the 2008 Cobalt SS coupe arrives almost fully-equipped for about $1,000 more than the version it replaces. Standard features include the 260-horsepower engine, a five-speed manual transmission, steering wheel controls including an integrated trip computer, cruise control, power windows, power door locks, power mirrors, a tilt leather-wrapped steering wheel, and keyless entry with a remote trunk release. Buyers also get a thumping sound system with a trunk-mounted subwoofer, an auxiliary input jack, and available satellite radio.
Options are limited to a large rear wing that was standard for 2007 (replaced with a low-profile spoiler for 2008) and now retails for $195, a power glass moonroof with sunshade that'll cost you $750 and a bit of head room, and a $495 limited-slip differential that's a must-have for anyone planning to track their new Cobalt SS on a regular basis. You'll notice that an automatic transmission is missing from the list; Chevy suggests that those interested in a turbo mated to an automatic check out the HHR SS. Also missing from the roster are fancy features such as a navigation system and leather upholstery, neither of which would make this so-called streetable and affordable track car reach 60 mph any faster.

The Senses of Humor:
The Senses of Humor: Self and Laughter in Modern America.
By Daniel Wickberg (Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1998. x
plus 267pp.).
Self and Laughter in Modern America
Unknown before the second half of the nineteenth century, the "sense of humor" fully emerged by the early twentieth century as a personality trait that was universally recognized as an essential component of a complete person. The rise of the sense of humor, Professor Wickberg argues, answered the strangest and most pressing demand of modern "bureaucratic individualism": it made possible a self that was capable of not taking itself too seriously. The sense of humor thus arrived as both a tool in fashioning, and a central feature in the makeup of, individuals primed for the requirements of corporate society.
From antiquity through the Middle Ages, according to Wickberg, "humor" referred always to objective entities. Laughter was understood as an unmediated physical reaction to deformed or inferior things that were objectively humorous. Before the 19th century, Wickberg argues, referring to a 'sense of humor' would have made no more sense than referring to a 'sense of temperament' today. From the 17th century on through, with the rise of individualism as a political prescription and a sociological description, humor was gradually unmoored from its objective correlates and came to be understood as a subjective mental phenomenon, rather than an objective physical one. The 18th century's proliferation of intuitive faculties of judgment -- the sense of morality, the sense of beauty, etc.--paved the way for the coining in the 1840's of the 'sense of humor' as a natural attribute contained within individuals. Nineteenth-century bourgeois sentimentalism stripped humor and laughter of their older associations with superiority, and recast them as markers of sympathy, relief, and ultimately, therapy.
By the turn-of-the-century the sense of humor became the signature attribute of a self that was defined as passive, detached, and consumerist, Wickberg argues. The sense of humor made it possible to smile and glad-hand with genuine sympathetic detachment. The sense of humor allowed people even to stand in a detached perspective from themselves, in order to make sympathetic evaluations of themselves as objective entities. This device, this "sense of humor," Wickberg argues, helped reconcile the apparently conflicting modern American values of individualism, on the one hand, and compliance to co-operative bureaucratic systems on the other. "The self-objectifying capacity of the sense of humor," Wickberg writes, "was specific to the individualism of a bureaucratic society; self-objectification removed the conflict between internal and external sources of authority and, in doing so, reconciled the ethic of self-determination with the demands of bureaucratic organization." (107)
There's not so much evidence for all that, but Wickberg takes his idea and runs with it through several penetrating chapters on the growing importance of the sense of humor in 19th and 20th century American culture.
The rise of the sense of humor rendered the individual a passive consumer, rather than a producer, of humor. In one of his best chapters, Wickberg analyzes the joke and its circulation as a "commodity form." Late in the 19th century, the joke became widely accepted as the fundamental unit of humor, much to the chagrin of advocates of an earlier narrative-centered model of humor, like Mark Twain. Humor production was professionalized, with the attendant homogenization of forms, divisions of labor, and de-skilling of amateur craftsmen. Wickberg shows how vaudeville and later radio stars systematically produced jokes in accordance with what they believed to be the "quasi-literary" form's objective component parts. Psychologists and sociologists used the same techniques to develop "sense of humor tests" for use in the analysis of personalities.
In the 20th century, the 'cult of the sense of humor' found its way into all spheres from which it had been strictly prohibited in the Victorian period, which Wickberg says recognized distinct humorous and serious spheres. In politics, for example, Wickberg argues that while 19th century politicians could never risk being known as humorous, in the 20th century, no...

Out, into the light-1920x1200 by lostmessengerWatch
©2006-2016 lostmessenger
<3 it!
i love this feeling and this pic for its simplicity! beautiful!
wonderful work!
sweet, nice use of light & shadows what camera did you use?
This was taken with an Olympus C5000. I've always been a bit dissatisfied with that- if I can ever get the season and the weather right I'd like to go back out there with my Nikon D80 or N80.
I think I know that place, it looks like the train tunnel in Patapsco state park. Quite an amazing place, nice photograph. Captures the beauty of nature very well.
Yup! That's the place. We went in the other end, not having any idea how very long it was. Were were glad to be out you can be sure!
Also looks like the cover from the album "Train of Thought", by the band DREAM THEATER. Where is this tunnel located?
awesome!! thats really cool
awesome pic!!!
it's look like a CD cover from a band called Shaaman, the name of the album is Reason
have u ever seen it?

...Juaquin Iglesias.
The Chicago Bears got down to the mandatory 53-man roster Saturday, handing out pink slips to a few notable players, including the organization's top two picks of the 2009 NFL draft, third-round choices wide receiver Juaquin Iglesias and defensive end Jarron Gilbert.
Iglesias saw action in only one game last season and failed in training camp and four preseason games to sway the staff into giving him another opportunity in 2010. The wideout out of Oklahoma averaged 21.3 yards on four catches in the preseason, including one touchdown reception. But Iglesias, who was slowed by injury early in camp, couldn't beat out veteran Rashied Davis -- who is also a special teams contributor -- for the final roster spot at receiver. A second-year player, Iglesias still has practice-squad eligibility, so there's a chance the receiver could be brought back.
Gilbert registered two sacks in the preseason, but failed to crack the defensive line rotation, beaten out by fellow 2009 draft class member Henry Melton and 2010 fourth-round selection Corey Wootton
A former third round pick, Iglesias was Sam Bradford's top receiver at Oklahoma during the 2007 and 2008 campaigns. He wasn't a fit in Chicago in the Martz offense, but he could be an effective possession receiver in a West Coast offense IMO. He's practice squad eligible, should he make it through waivers and the Rams don't want to spend an active roster spot on him. I think he'd at least be worth a look, given his skill set and the familiarity he had in college with Bradford.

Here's a young adventurer making a new friend!
I'm trying out a new painting approach, I hope you like the results!
I'm trying out a new painting approach, I hope you like the results!
Love it!
So cute! Love her outfit.
Painting style feels nice and warm x3
cute and colorful! She makes me think of a Matryoshka Doll (nesting doll) for some reason!
oh noo she's so cute! :''D
Love the style.
Cute ^u^
I really like the soft look to the new painting. Any process shots or video or maybe reference links? I'm a behind the scenes junkie.
I thought your spirit friend was "Midori"
i just love your style, seriously beautiful work! i like a lot colours and expression..and her matrioska dress is something amazing
great work!
great work!
Beautiful drawing
I do like these results! and the design is quite nice too, keep it up!
love the colors and the shapes! the overall piece looks a little blurry though. I think if the face was sharper but you left the rest the same, it would create more of the dreamy effect you're after by drawing attention to the focal point and not overwhelming the eye with what may be - too much blur.
Beautiful. What's the piece of wood for?
hey Luigi, whatever happened to Leo's Forrest?
I'm still working on it, I just need to find the right people to help bring it to life
oh thank god! I'm so looking forward to it!
did you maybe think about a kickstarter?
did you maybe think about a kickstarter?
I thought about it and I may go that route, but the project is pretty far off still. If anything I may do some new illustrations for Leo's Forest while I look for the right team Hopefully those that are interested can at least see what I imagine the world will look like
ok so basically, right now you have the idea of the storyline and some character designs right? what do you have to do next?
I have a general idea of the story and characters but it's still in the stage where anything can change (though I am happy with the current direction)
It's too early to really say what the next plan is, I'm just going to work on development and look for the right team
It's too early to really say what the next plan is, I'm just going to work on development and look for the right team
lovely approach!
Very cute. How did you do this?
Really nice color composition and lovely character concept! Your new batch of works for portfolio are sure inspiring.
Interesting new painting style
Whoa, she looks lovely! I wonder what she'll call her friend o:
She looks gorgeous
I bet they'll become best buddies in no time
I bet they'll become best buddies in no time
Looks great, man!

SA Remarks (As Prepared) CGSC Graduation Fort Leavenworth, Kan.
September 18, 2006
By Secretary of the Army, Dr. Francis Harvey
It is a great pleasure for me to be here today and have the opportunity to address the future of the officer corps. Today is a very special day, for it reflects the beginning of your return to the Operational Army where our Soldiers are courageously waging the Global War on Terrorism. It also marks the end of a period when, I hope, you were able to get plenty of rest, spend ample time with the family, recharge your batteries, and reflect on the profession of arms, as well as the essence of leadership.

I know many of you were deployed prior to coming to C-G-S-C. Along the way, you endured great hardships, lost friends and comrades, and made lasting contributions to the security of our Nation. My simple words here cannot adequately capture my appreciation for your service and sacrifice, but I know I express the feelings of a grateful Nation when I say how proud I am of you.

And I think your choice of the class print exemplifies your dedication and sacrifice - as Soldiers and as leaders. For those of you who have not seen this print - it's titled "In Honored Glory" - and it shows an officer and his family participating in a wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington for fallen Soldiers. This print, especially the participation of family members, captures the spirit of service and sacrifice of our Army families.

I want to thank all of our family members - those here today and those throughout the Army. Our Soldiers could not answer their noble calling of defending the values that have made our country great - this Call to Duty - without the support of those from whom they draw so much strength. It is also the family who bears the cost of war and we must never forget that they too sacrifice and serve the Nation by providing the love and support that sustains our Soldiers.

As you well know, the United States Army is heavily engaged in the Global War on Terrorism. Today, almost 270,000 of your fellow Soldiers are deployed, forward stationed overseas, or performing homeland defense missions. As they go deliberately about their duties, it is easy to overlook just how tough those duties are and have been. This is the best Army in the world, and it is the best primarily because of courageous men and women like you, and the Soldiers you will soon lead again.

Today, I want to talk with you about leaders and leadership for the dangerous and complex 21st Century operating environment. Specifically, I want to give you my vision of the leadership skills and attributes needed to be effective in this environment. And it is important to note that this vision is partly based on your recent experiences in the field. You have helped shape our vision of the skills and attributes Army leaders need to be successful today and well into the future.

The events of September 11th and subsequent operations in Afghanistan and Iraq have demonstrated the need for an Army that is more expeditionary, joint, rapidly deployable, flexible and adaptive. Army transformation is focused on that objective and it is a multidimensional process that involves adapting new technologies to war fighting; developing improved joint operating concepts and business processes; changing organizational structures and, most importantly, developing leaders, people, and a culture that are relevant to the future.

Today, we are facing a new enemy - one who is ruthless, without values, immoral, sometimes stateless and willing to employ any means necessary to achieve its objectives. In order to better meet the asymmetric threats posed by this enemy, the Army has established a vision, entitled "Relevant and Ready Land Power in Service to the Nation," which systematically combines Soldiers, our most precious resource and the centerpiece of all that we do, with three other pillars of the vision: First, innovative and adaptive leaders who are expert in the art and science of the profession of arms; second, the Army Modular Force; and, finally, the Institutional base of the Army, which develops proud and disciplined Soldiers and leaders committed to Army values and living the Warrior Ethos.

Leaders are absolutely key to achieving this vision. I have looked at the demographics of this class and I was very impressed with the breadth and depth of your experiences in full-spectrum operations. Accordingly, as field grade officers - as mentors to platoon leaders and company commanders - you will play an important role in our efforts to change the way we develop Army leaders in the future.

For the uncertain and unpredictable '21st Century operating environment, we need leaders who are decisive, innovative, adaptive, culturally astute, effective communicators and dedicated to life long learning. We need them to demonstrate character and integrity in everything they do. We need them to be experts in the art and science of the profession of arms as well as be able to lead, manage and change large organizations from both an operational and business perspective. They must excel in the political skills of governance, Statesmanship and diplomacy. They must be strategic and creative thinkers; they must build teams; they must boldly confront uncertainty; and they must solve complex problems while engendering loyalty and trust. In short, Army leaders in this century need to be Pentathletes, multi-skilled leaders who can thrive in uncertain and complex operating environments.

As I alluded to earlier, many of you have recently returned from Iraq and Afghanistan where conducting missions outside the bounds of what you were trained to do early in your careers has become the norm. Today in Iraq and Afghanistan Army leaders at platoon through division level are accomplishing extraordinarily complex tasks that go well beyond traditional war fighting missions. As future S-3s, X-Os and battalion commanders, you will need to remain proficient in how to fight, but you will also need to be equally skilled in accomplishing post-conflict tasks and missions.

To fully prepare our leaders, we must strike the proper balance between direct experience, training and education. Our programs, which we are now making tougher, more stressful and more relevant, are preparing leaders to be more comfortable while operating amidst uncertainty. Through the right mix of unit experiences, training, and education, our leaders at all levels will be able to excel in the rigors and challenges of the 21st Century security environment.

Many of you will experience these challenges - some for the first time - when you deploy to the one of the Army's training centers. We have, and continue, to develop training scenarios that will require leaders to routinely demonstrate initiative, adaptability and versatility in situations that are major departures from the training scenarios that you may have experienced as platoon leaders and company commanders.

As S-3s and X-Os, you will soon face smart, innovative adversaries at the training centers who will use all available means, asymmetric and conventional, to beat you and your Soldiers. In short, we want your worst day in the Army to be at Fort Polk or Fort Irwin - not in Iraq.

I have covered a lot of ground today, and I hope I have given you better insight into the tremendous changes that are occurring in the Army, and most importantly, what will be required of our leaders in the Army of the 21st Century.

One thing that will never change is the importance of our magnificent Soldiers. The Soldier is, and will remain, the centerpiece of the Army. I want to leave you today with the story of one Soldier that I think is indicative of the service, dedication and sacrifice of today's leaders.

Major Tammy Duckworth was a Blackhawk pilot in the Illinois National Guard. I visited Tammy a few months ago during her recovery at Walter Reed, where she told me an extraordinary story. As Major Duckworth flew her aircraft near Balad, Iraqi insurgents struck the helicopter with small arms fire and rocket propelled grenades. Though seriously wounded in both legs, Major Duckworth and her wounded co-pilot were able to safely land the disabled aircraft, saving the lives of the crew.

I asked Major Duckworth what went through her mind as she struggled to land the helicopter. She said, "Training just took over, we focused on landing the aircraft." Despite having both legs amputated, Tammy Duckworth wants to remain a Blackhawk pilot in the Illinois National Guard. She told me "No Iraqi guy with an RPG is going to dictate how I live my life."
Her story, retold in countless other conversations I have had with wounded veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan, embodies the Warrior Ethos: I will always place the mission first. I will never quit. I will never accept defeat. And I will never leave a fallen comrade.

Thank you for the opportunity to be here today. I wish you all the best of luck in your future service to our Soldiers. God bless you and your families, God bless our Army, and God bless our great country.

Thank you very much.

Jean Valentine, 1980
POETRY MISCELLANY: Your poetry is unique in the way it presents itself; it seems to be based upon fragments, shifts in perspective, traces, frayings. As you say in "Twenty Days' Journey," it is a world of things "almost visible," of "The blown away footstep / in the snow." Could we begin by talking about the nature of the vision, this world, where often, it seems, "it was like touching the center and therefore losing it, emptying it of what you might have been able to hold on to" ("February 9th"). It seems a world of deferrals, discontinuities, differences, gaps.
JEAN VALENTINE: I can only respond to your first sentence here, very simply: that when I'm most attentive, these "fragments," etc., are very often what I sense and feel; they are how I "get" this time and place and the currents of my private and public life and the lives around me. To try to clarify this--not to compare--I think of, for instance, Paul Klee's painting, certain newspaper photos or documentary film scenes, or certain intricately plotted mysteries.
In "The Lives Around Me" I include the work of someone like Huub Oosterhuis (you quote next from my version of his long poem Twenty Days' Journey, made with the Dutch poet Judith Herzberg). To try a version of this poem, I had to feel very close to it. There are still mysteries in the poem for me, but I make out this much: a vision of both personal and worldwide suffering of loss and anguish, in which a personal and/or an Everyman "I"

The best part of Conferences is the ability to develop strong conference rivalries.
The down side is that occasionally, the best teams will all be in one conference and the 4th best team won't get into the playoffs.... and if you don't take steps to alter this, the best teams in the league will actually play in one side of the conference finals and NOT in the Championship.

I liked the idea, but like people have mentioned, it doesn't really matter if you can't tailor the schedule, which Yahoo! does not allow....at least not that I can see. So, it isn't a major difference except the division winners get byes in the playoffs and maybe a little prize if you go that route.

Where I stayed
el aura lago verde
Driving through the National Park the scenery was beautiful with thick forests, turquoise lakes and flowing rivers. David was starting to get excited about the fly-fishing. We arrived at El Aura lodge which is the only accommodation in the Park apart from camping and some basic cabins. It is situated on the shore of Lago Verde and accommodation is in separate cabins. Ours was huge with a big log fire and large windows with lake views. A perfect base for our 'week in the wilderness'.
We had booked an all-inclusive package and at lunch David's fishing guide for the week came to meet us and discuss the program. We were lucky to be assigned to Andres Muller who is the head guide there and speaks perfect English; he is also a very experienced guide and excellent company. He suggested that I accompany them on some of the fishing trips as they were to interesting locations.
On other days I accompanied them and particularly enjoyed a day 'floating' in a rubber boat down the Rio Rivadavia. No engines are allowed there so these float boats are used with oars. In some parts there are rapids so we got a taste for 'white-water rafting'.
We also saw many of the Patagonian kingfishers (Martin Pescadores) waiting, on branches overhanging the river, for a tasty fish.
When the fishermen stopped to wade I explored the river banks and was amazed to see so many beautiful Fuchsia plants growing along the banks.
In Argentina one buys a fishing licence for a period and can then fish any water, at no extra cost, that one can access. To our surprise there are regular checks made and the national park staff were often around.
Our week passed too quickly with David fishing every daylight hour with many wild trout caught (Rainbow, Brown and Brook). The average size was around 1kg and the biggest, a brown, was over 2kg.
There is something magical about the whole place and it is yet another area of Patagonia that we would love to return to.
There are certainly lots of wild trout waiting to be caught. They will have to wait as we are moving on to another fly-fishing 'hot-spot' further north.

If you have contacted us because you need a time server, you can use our server subject to the contraints discussed below. We offer one stratum 1 server for time-setting for servers off-campus, and a tier-2 server for Purdue users. Our stratum 1 server is part of the NTP Pool, and that service may provide a good option if you need more or other time servers, in addition to (or in place of) our servers. Other servers are listed at the time servers site.
We provide two NTP servers for use inside and outside of Purdue University. These consist of a stratum 1 time server (CDMA-based) for any Internet users, and an additional stratum 2 server for internal Purdue users.
We make no guarantees about this service. The servers may go down at any time, or become unreachable to users outside Purdue. We will try to maintain reasonable availability, but any service is provided on an "as is" basis as a courtesy. We make no warranties about the accuracy of the time signal beyond our good-faith belief that it is as accurate as can be achieved using our stock hardware and software.
If you wish to use our time servers, we ask that you observe the following:
For users ON THE PURDUE WEST LAFAYETTE CAMPUS only:
For users NOT AT PURDUE:
If you have need of authenticated time (using MD5, as defined in the NTP protocol) then we can exchange key information to enable this. Contact firstname.lastname@example.com. We currently do not have autokeying set up on any of the servers.
Our Stratum 1 server comes as a rack-mountable unit with an external antenna. This is generally easy to set up. CDMA units work from cell phone signals, so anywhere inside where there is a good cellphone signal is appropriate.
We recently added the EndRun Tempus LX server. This also was extremely easy to set up and run -- less than 10 minutes from out of the box to locked and serving a signal! The documentation is good, and the interface is simple. We are very pleased with this server, too. EndRun makes servers that provide a time signal from either GPS or CDMA signals; ours is a CDMA unit.
Establishing your own time server might be a good move, especially if you need a secure time source, because you can run it inside your firewall. Cost for a system is generally a few thousand dollars for US customers. Options are available to get more precise local clock crystals for times when the external time source is unavailable, but that adds expense. For more details, you can visit EndRun Technologies.
Lots more information on NTP, including the latest software, is available at http://www.ntp.org/.

PSA: I'm offering a free preview copy of Paleo Takeout starting today through February 12th, via this 100% free bundle. A bunch of Paleo-minded authors and bloggers teamed up to provide some really helpful eBooks and meal plans – over 70 resources in all, valued at over $1,000! The preview copy of Paleo Takeout includes 10 recipes from the book, plus a few more thrown in for good measure.
Lately, I've been taking tiny steps to minimize all those little stresses in life. For example, I've been driving on backroads on my way home from work each day, which has much better scenery and fewer cars zipping in and out in front of me. It might take an extra minute or two out of my day, but it's adding years to my life, right? That's what I'd like to think. Regardless of any increases in my life expectancy, I've been arriving at home in a better mood, so it's well worth it.
In similar fashion, we've recently been taking it a bit easy in the kitchen. Having a small baby at home will do that; my lullaby-singing skills have greatly improved, but I definitely have less time to chop up a bunch of ingredients. So meals like these Spaghetti Squash Bolognese Boats have been a hit, with minimal hands-on time but plenty of flavor. Plus, this recipe requires only three ingredients: squash, pasta sauce, and ground beef.
If you're hoping to spend a bit more time in the kitchen, you could always make your own pasta sauce (here's my recipe). Additionally, I've included quick instructions on how to roast the spaghetti squash seeds, so that nothing is wasted.

Mark McGhee will join the Scotland set-up on a part-time basis
Michael Grant, Chief football writer / / Sport
MARK McGhee is the new Scotland assistant manager.
Gordon Strachan has chosen his former Aberdeen team-mate as his No.2 and the SFA is expected to formally announce the appointment on Monday.
Strachan still intends to add a third member to the Scotland coaching team and will approach his preferred candidate in the coming days.
Among those said to be in the frame is Gary McAllister, who Strachan worked closely with during their time together at Leeds.
Both McGhee and the No.3 will work for the SFA on a part-time basis.
McGhee and Strachan have been close pals since their Pittodrie playing days in the 1980s. McGhee was on the shortlist to get the Scotland job in 2008, but lost out to George Burley.
At the time he was enjoying a successful spell with Motherwell, but left there for what became a deeply disappointing 18 months at Aberdeen.
After a year out of management – during which he watched games in and around London for previous Scotland boss Craig Levein – he took over at League Two side Bristol Rovers.
He was dismissed by them on December 15, but has been given a quick return to the game by his old friend.
Both Strachan and McGhee will continue to live in England and commute north for all international duties.

Hi, I need some advice and thoughts.
I would like 2 kids, but my husband only wants 1. His reasoning behind only wanting one is that we are getting to old. I am 32 and my husband is 35. We have only been together for less then two years or else I am sure this would have been a non issue years ago.
Honestly I would be fine with one. But I feel like its unfair for my daughter(who should be making her entrance any day now) I feel like she will miss out on having a sibling and companionship her whole life. Both of us do not have big families so it's not like she will have a ton of extended family around her. I just don't want her to be lonley as a child or adult or miss out on things or be spoiled, etc. I don't know.
I know my husband is saying "only one" now, but before he was not and I am sure this can be discussed. I'm just trying to weigh everything out and take his feelings into consideration.
So what do you guys think about having an only child? Anybody out there an only child and can shed some light on how you feel about it?

Sadler slams hard into Pocono's old-school fence
Sunday, Aug. 01, 2010
LONG POND, Pa. It could have been worse. But the safety concerns it raised should have been resolved by now.
That was the general consensus among drivers after frightening wrecks Sunday at Pocono Raceway involving Kurt Busch and Elliott Sadler. The incidents and scattered debris forced the Pennsylvania 500 to be red-flagged 35 laps from the finish.
Sadler's wreck was particularly horrifying. The No. 19 Ford slid across a grassy area between turns 1 and 2 at speed before plowing nose-first into an old fence and tire barrier.
The impact separated the engine and drive-shaft from Sadler's car and scattered parts and debris all over the track.
"I think it's going to be a wake-up call for some improvement," said four-time Cup champion Jeff Gordon. Gordon has been involved in a hard wreck of his own at the track.
As Gordon battled Juan Pablo Montoya for the lead on Lap 165 of the scheduled 200, Busch was hit from behind by Jimmie Johnson. Then Sadler was hit from behind as drivers slowed in reaction to the Busch wreck.
"Jimmie Johnson just drove straight through us," Busch said when he was asked what had happened.
In a radio transmission highlighted by ESPN during the red flag, Johnson accepted responsibility and asked his crew to pass along his apologies to the drivers involved.
Sadler put his window net down, but had difficulty climbing out of his destroyed car. Once he was helped out, Sadler had to lie down.
He stretched out on the track for several minutes before getting into an ambulance for a ride to the infield care center. He was later released.
"I'm a little sore, I think, from where the (safety) belts grabbed me. It knocked the breath out of me pretty good, but it's definitely the hardest hit I've ever had in a race car," Sadler said.
"These new cars are built to be safer and if I can get out of that and walk through that, I think it did its job."
Track president Brandon Igdalsky said in the days leading up to Sunday's race that plans were already in place to add SAFER barriers before next years events.
Grassy run-off areas produce little of the friction that helps slow out-of-control race cars. There are more such areas at Pocono than anywhere NASCAR races are held except for the road courses at Watkins Glen, N.Y., and Sonoma, Calif.
"I'm still in one piece, so it did its job," Sadler said. "The way it hit the guardrail back there was pretty tough."

A theodicy is a justification of the ways of God to man. Most frequently, the term is used in discussions of the problem of evil. Succinctly stated this problem goes like this: 1. God is all powerful 2. God is Good 3. Evil things happen 4. God can and should prevent these evil things (from 1 & 2) I don't want to get into all of the intricacies of this debate. Generally speaking, Mormons "solve" the problem by in effect denying (1), claiming that there are metaphysical as opposed to merely logical limitations on God's power. It strikes me,... Read more »

The Malaysian Model
So now it's not just the limited geography and the hemispheric models anymore, now there is the Malaysian model. (Link via Dave). The Malaysia idea is certainly novel, and presented as well as I think it possibly could be. The author, Ralph A. Olsen, notes that it avoids a large number of standard Book-of-Mormon location problems, like use of Egyptian, and presence of animals and crops. (For example, he writes that "Wheat, barley, and other cereal grains have long been cultivated in Southeast Asia. There is no evidence of their cultivation in Mesoamerica.") I'm not convinced.

It's Official: U. Goes Mormon
The Board of Regents of the University of Utah have selected Mormon law professor and dean Michael Young as the new President of the University. The Deseret News has a story here. (Link thanks to Jared Jensen.) The story says: He said he is a "committed, active member of the LDS Church" and doesn't see that as a conflict in his new role. "It's an important part of who I am and why I do what I do," he said. "At the same time I have spent my entire academic career outside of Utah. It has never been a... Read more »
The Value of Liberal Education
Between Julie's post and this week's challenge of composing the syllabus for the Introduction to Philosophy course I am teaching this fall, I am haunted by the question: Is knowledge good in itself? I have set myself up to be an educator, but many of the criticisms of public education we delivered in response to Julie's post seem disturbingly relevant to most college education as well; do you agree? And even if knowledge is good in itself, how far should knowledge for its own sake be the goal of a philosophy course required of every student at a given... Read more »
Yet Another SSM Post
Somehow I ended up on the official Church website for UK and Ireland and found this on the top of the page: "The Gender Recognition Bill, which is currently being considered in the House of Commons will allow a man to become a woman in law (and vice versa). This means transsexuals will be able to marry in their assumed sex. The legislation also makes it a criminal offence to disclose the birth sex of a transsexual. We stress that this Bill poses a real threat to religious freedom and we oppose it because we believe it runs counter... Read more »
On the Shelf
I've been thinking for several days about something that Armand Mauss said in the first "12 Questions" post. Speaking of greying intellectuals (which I assume includes me) and their early choices, he said: "Some of them (maybe half – who knows?) opted to put their Church loyalties, careers, and/or public images ahead of their intellectual yearnings and independence, feeling that the latter could not justify the disruption and jeopardy to their largely conservative spouses and families, to their aspirations for respectability in the Church, or to their career plans. Others (maybe another approximate half) decided that they could not... Read more »
That awful smallpox story
One of the more disturbing images from General Conference was in Elder Packer's use of a story (a version of which I've heard before elsewhere) about chicken pox and smallpox. Elder Packer stated: "When I was in the seventh grade, in a health class, the teacher read an article. A mother learned that the neighbor children had chicken pox. She faced the probability that her children would have it as well, perhaps one at a time. She determined to get it all over with at once. So she sent her children to the neighbor's to play with their children... Read more »
The Church as a Corporation: Part III
Here are a few more odds and ends about the Church as a corporation that I was able to find out. First, I wanted to correct two mistakes in my earlier posts. I recently found out that after Joseph Smith was murdered, it was not Brigham Young and the Twelve who succeeded to the office of trustee-in-trust. Rather, Bishop Newel K. Whitney was appointed, which means that he was the legal agent in charge of Church property during the City of Joseph period. Second, upon rereading the corporate charter granted to the Church by the State of Deseret, I... Read more »
Elite Religion and Common Religion
Recently, I've been thinking about the topic of elite religion versus popular religion. In particular, it seems that the development of FARMS and other intellectual centers of Mormon studies has resulted in a division of sorts. On the one hand, Mormon studies scholars believe in a world where the Nephites lived in a tiny section of Central America, where the Hill Cumorah is somewhere in Guatemala, where the flood was a localized event, and where Joseph Smith was polygamous and polyandrous. On the other hand, most church members believe in a world where the Lehites covered the Americas, the... Read more »
The Voice of the Bloggernacle
Think for a moment about who you are — specifically, your relationships with your co-workers, your friends, and your family. Are you kind? Are you patient? When topics are brought up in conversations in Church or elsewhere, and you disagree, do you get angry? Are you condescending or sanctimonious? My guess is that you're probably like most mormons — respectful of differing viewpoints, kind and patient to family and friends, and gracious to strangers and guests as they pop into your life. Now think about who you are in the Bloggernacle. Read more »
Will the U. Go Mormon?
The University of Utah is currently in the midst of a search for a new president. They have narrowed it down to two potential candiates and one of them is . . . Michael Young. Young is a graduate of Harvard Law School, a former law professor at Columbia, and current dean at George Washington University Law School. He is also a BYU graduate, an active Mormon and a former stake president. Since BYU now has a former Ute as its president, will the U. return the favor by hiring a former cougar? Would both presidents be allowed to... Read more »
LDS Education Theory
Because I plan on homeschooling my children through high school, I have spent a lot of time thinking about educational theory (I also have a teaching certificate and I taught briefly in public schools in California.). Is there such a thing as an LDS-based educational theory? Could there be? What would it look like? Do we need one? Read more »
12 Questions for Armand Mauss, part two
As promised, here's the second half our our "interview." Thank you, Brother Mauss, for your willingness to lend your unique voice to the bloggernacle, and thanks to all our readers who submitted questions. (Again, the questions are in bold and his responses follow in plain text.) 7. In April conference, Elder Hafen discussed the "misconception" that the Church is "moving toward an understanding of the relationship between grace and works that draws on Protestant teachings." Any reaction? This is truly an interesting development. The "misconception" Elder Hafen is referring to might not be exactly... Read more »
Our Terrible and Tender God
Prepping a guest lecture for seminary a few weeks ago I was struck with the alignment between Adam's and Eve's shrinking from the presence of God after they ate the forbidden fruit, and the shrinking of the wicked from the presence of God at judgment (e.g. 2 Nephi 9). Adam and Eve feel naked, and hide. God calls them forth and rebukes them, confirming that they have something to be ashamed of. They are now to be cast out of his presence entirely. Yet then, after pronouncing curses, he makes clothing for them, as if to say, "Since you're... Read more »
12 Questions for Armand Mauss, part one
We are pleased to present our first installment of "12 Questions," with sociologist and Mormon Studies scholar extraordinaire Armand Mauss (here is a mini-bio). Thanks to everyone who sent in questions. As you will see, they generated a wide-ranging and thoughtful set of responses. Questions appear below in bold, and Brother Mauss's responses follow in plain text. 1. You have spent your academic career largely outside of church-affiliated schools. As a Mormon studies scholar, what are the advantages and disadvantages taking this route from your perspective? How does it inform and/or impede your work... Read more »
Theo-democracy and the Redemption of Politics
I am finding it difficult to get very excited about politics this election year. Given that we are faced with momentus issues of war and peace this is a bit odd. This seems like a time when politics really matters. Part of the problem is that I am considerably less than enthusiastic about either candidate. However, I find that I am increasingly less interested and passionate about politics. In college I played at being a political activist. I worked on campaigns, did voter registration drives, etc. (In retrospect I admit that my political involvement was largely about meeting girls.)... Read more »
Thanks, Richard and Welcome, Ben!
Alas, today we bid farewell to guest blogger Richard Bushman, whose first entry broke records for the rate of immediate commenting (I'm guessing–not even Kaimi is nerdy enough to keep those statistics!), and whose last flurry of posts should keep us in interesting topics for a month or two! Thank you very much, Richard, for asking such good questions and helping us think about interesting things in new ways. Fortunately, we will not lack for good new discussions–Steve Evans continues his stint for another week, and today we welcome another guest, Ben Huff. Ben's animal magnetism has been discussed...

Aaron Brown's Catholic Experience
Apparently, longtime T & S commenter and BCC contributor Aaron Brown has been doing something most members would never imagine — he's been officiating (along with some LDS missionaries) at a Catholic Mass! He writes about this experience in his latest BCC post. An excerpt: About a year ago, Father Hans approached me with an unusual request. Convinced that LDS missionaries are 'angels,' and that they obviously love and follow Christ more than anyone in his congregation could ever hope to, Hans wanted to organize a Catholic-Mormon 'hybrid' Mass. He proposed that my four full-time missionaries and I (the... Read more »

Higher Powers
This morning as we were leaving for church, I ran over my daughter's scooter, which she had left behind the mini-van. It was firmly wedged under the rear axle, with the handle bars turned to make removing it impossible. While we were puzzling over what to do, and trying to remember how to work the jack, Louisa (age 5) piped up, "I know what to do!" We immediately thought it was going to be one of those testimony meeting moments, where a child in sweet innocence asks for the immediate and practical help of angels. Our sappiness was quickly...

Chicken Marsala
I hear conflicting statements about the propriety of using alcohol in cooking. For example, chicken marsala, which is one of our family's favorite dishes. Some members say that alcohol evaporates during the cooking. I am sure that at least some of the alcohol evaporates during cooking. At the same time, I am doubtful that it all evaporates. I also hear that some de minimus amount is probably allowable, since homemade bread contains trace amounts of alcohol (from the yeast fermentation) and that's a Mormon staple. Again, I'm not sure of the veracity of this tale. Does anyone know of... Read more »
How would you map Joseph's thought. If you had to reduce his thought to four or five major areas, what would they be. The ones I am using are: a. The simple gospel of faith, repentance, baptism, the Holy Ghost, and endurance. b. Zion, gathering, the millennium. c. Priesthood, ordinances, endowment of power, temple, rituals. d. Family bonds: baptism for the dead, priesthood marriage, sealings. e. Stories of eternity: the accounts of God's history and nature, the nature of individual free intelligences, the purpose of life, the hereafter and human destiny. Read more »

The Grand Alliance
Do you think it is proper to say that God is recruiting us for the great cause–joining Him in the work of eternal life? Rather than simply being saved from our sins, we are being mobilized? Does this mean, in turn, that God benefits from our worshiping Him, that bringing to pass eternal life for His children adds to His glory? Is priesthood (including women) another name for the grand alliance of those who have joined God in His great work? Read more »

Or is he a contingent God who a) learned to be God, b) is eternal... Read more »

Madhavan's stunning Russian look
The charming actor will play the role of a retired boxer and never looked as menacing before in that look. The acclaimed actor is on a tour to various places and has posted a picture of him in Russia.
Madhavan is seen wearing the famous Russian cap and looks stunning. He seems to fit into any attire and look handsomely perfect. The hot and beefed-up Madhavan is having a whale of a time in traveling across Serbia, Russia and Moscow, and is to travel further to Doha, Singapore, Kuala Lampur and Dubai.

Good Chow Bowl
posted 7 years ago
I love these bowls. We've got 4 of them. They are heavier so the cats can't move them around. The are easy to clean either by handwashing or in the dishwasher. They also have less of a tendency to spread unwanted germs. Besides, I just love seeing the pawprints!
Pros: Heavy dish and easy to clean
Cons: none

All color pens. Another photograph but idea until better scanned versions emerge.
I'm loving the way you blend the pens together, it's flawless and it comes out so perfectly. This piece is so fun to look at up close but then when you see the whole thing together in the small view, each time it takes my breath away. Wonderful job
Your work is outstanding, such detail! What size is the original artwork? There's so much expression in your work. I always say that it's like putting our emotions out there naked for all the world to see.
Well put , like a voice with endless options . They can control my actions but not my voice. My work is any where from 15 inches by 18 and smaller. Have a tough time leaving any corner unscratched, sense each piece is a reflection of myself, and I'm scratched and torn on most ares as is. Thats what drew me to yours a full paper of ideas and time spent pouring ones self on to it. Draw Hard !
great colors and style!outstanding image,very well illustrated
Very Glen Brown (ish) great!!
this is .super.fantastic. i can't get over how detailed and colorful this is. you've got a really impressive gallery!
Well done. The colors are very good.
I love it. What a release.
Much appreciation. I would assume there to be some kind of under lying hate living in all my work, considering art is a channel for any frustration sitting inside me dwelling and waiting for some form of release.. I love this kind of work less thought more fun. Hate and love fuel my inspiration. Letting chaos mow done another path. In this case on a thin bleached slice of a tree giving me a chance to breath and the tree an evolved root of new life. Forever affecting you and hopefully inspiring more to re focus there energy. Appreciate all , make the most of everything. Thanks again, I don't ever comment to mush but yours provoked more than anticipated. Draw Hard C.M.Slater
wow, it's so complex! i've said it before and i'll say it again: you must have incredible patience.
oddly, even with all the beautiful colors and swirls, there's something about this piece that strikes me as sinister. can't put my finger on it, though....
oddly, even with all the beautiful colors and swirls, there's something about this piece that strikes me as sinister. can't put my finger on it, though....
Youve got a really great sense of colour..this is beautiful
Just simply .... Wow. Great work.
Thanks a lot for the your view , its a love hate relationship.
Amazing! How long did it take? And how big is the paper?
14 inches by 17 inches , and took around three and a half months. Thanks for the comments.
That's great, nice job.
