Michael Kelly: Peace Corps Turning 40
Michael Kelly
Douglas Wells of Omaha, born five days after the assassination of President Kennedy, grew up to embody a lasting part of JFK's legacy - the Peace Corps.
Wells, now 37 and a diplomat in Hong Kong, not only assisted people in the Baltic nation of Estonia as a Peace Corps volunteer but also left them with a most positive impression of Americans. Wells was a national hero - he found their long-buried church bell.
It's an amazing story. Germans had overrun the country in 1943 and looked for brass to make into bullets. Six villagers in Emmaste risked their lives one night by removing the 450-pound bell from their Lutheran church, burying it in the woods and swearing each other to secrecy.
Through decades of Soviet repression, it remained there. Only in the late 1980s did the survivors reveal their secret. But they couldn't find the bell.
In 1994, people appealed to Wells, a graduate of Westside High School and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The son of engineers James and Paula Wells had a metal detector. After several December days of fruitless searches, the instrument screeched - the bell was found.
Nearly 52 years after its removal, the bell was placed back in the church tower. The nation's president hailed Wells and said the bell's return was a present to all Estonians. Let freedom ring.
In the 40 years since Kennedy established the Peace Corps on March 1, 1961, the program hasn't always produced the drama and joy of Wells' bell. But with 162,000 volunteers having served in 134 countries, the corps has toiled and tolled for peace.
"The cumulative effect has been enormous," said State Sen. Chris Beutler of Lincoln, a 1966-67 Peace Corps volunteer in Turkey. "Volunteers have come back for 40 years, having seen America from the outside - through the eyes of foreigners. It adds a realistic perspective and influence on our foreign policy and our way of looking at the world."
The idealistic origin of the Peace Corps precedes JFK's official order and even the stirring words of his inaugural, "Ask not what your country can do for you. ..."
It began with an impromptu 2 a.m. speech at the University of Michigan on Oct. 14, 1960, where 10,000 students waited up to hear candidate Kennedy.
He issued a challenge: Would you be willing to serve the country and work for peace in developing nations?
As the Peace Corps marks its 40th anniversary, the agency's impact can be measured not only by projects in Third World countries but also by the number of volunteers who have remained in public service. Among them are Donna Shalala (Iran, 1962-64), former secretary of health and human services; Sen. Christopher Dodd of Connecticut (Dominican Republic, 1966-68); Thomas E. Gouttierre, dean of international programs at the University of Nebraska at Omaha; and various congressmen, judges and mayors.
Other volunteers have included Richard Sanders (Brazil, 1966-68), who played newsman Les Nessman on "WKRP in Cincinnati"; Bob Vila (Panama, 1969-70), who hosted "This Old House"; Chris Matthews (Swaziland, 1968-70), host of "Hardball With Chris Matthews"; Michael McCaskey, board chairman of the Chicago Bears; and the presidents of Johnson & Johnson and Levi Strauss.
Beutler, an all-city quarterback at Omaha Benson High, played safety for Yale. You might say he went from safety to risk by signing up to teach English in a foreign country.
"It was a great awakening for me," he said. "I had never been immersed in a fully functioning foreign culture. I was 21, and it was an extremely broadening experience."
Ron Psota of Omaha, coordinator of international students at Bellevue University, grew up in the farming community of North Loup, Neb., and helped farmers in India. The UNL architecture graduate said the experience "changed my life totally."
He and his wife, Eileen Wirth, have raised two children adopted in India, one from Mother Teresa's orphanage who serves today in the Air Force.
Psota said the Returned Peace Corps Volunteers group in Nebraska has a mailing list of about 200. With 7,300 volunteers today in 76 countries, the Peace Corps has a budget of $265 million. "In a lot of ways," Psota said, "it's been some of the best money the U.S. has spent."

Dear All,
questions on Zimbra Mobile with Apple iPhone.
1) is there any log message when zimbra *push* emails to user's mobile devices?
2) in customer's situation, when he only configured 3 or 5 apple iPhone devices, every email will be pushed to the devices quite soon, however, when there're totally 30 devices are configured now, they found zimbra will NOT always push emails to their devices, sometimes it will, and sometimes it won't.
does anyone know how to debug such situation? any log is left when emails are pushing?

Thanks Jen! I actually found that same article today while I was researching and bookmarked it to email to my husband, when I think the time is right (not today though, lol)
This will likely be our last baby (and part of the reason I really want it to be an enjoyable experience). I just can't bring myself to close the book on my HBAC yet, I'm only 10wks pregnant! I hope we are able to talk about it, though it seems impossible right now. I feel like I can't find the right information to back up my feelings (lots of info on the safety of home birth, lots of info on VBAC, harder to find the right info on HBAC). Hopefully there is still time to make the right decision.

Now we want bar.com to spoof our firstname.lastname@example.com so when others reply we get the email and bar.com does not. However, we have noticed that when bar.com emails a message from email@example.com to any other address in foo.com that sometimes(not always) it never shows up.

We think it might be hitting the spam filter and never being delievered. How do we whitelist bar.com as the sending domain? email@example.com is already whitelisted but how do we tell our mail server that it is OK for bar.com to be sending mail for email@example.com

When I run iSync, it shows the top level shared contacts, but does not show or sync subfolders of them. This works fine in Outlook sync. Is it supposed to work in iSync?
BTW, I know that there are no folders in AB and have read forums posts related to this mismatch between AB Groups and Contract folders. Is there documentation on how this is handled? The only info I have been able to find on this is in the forums.

Retiring but not shy
A career review with a candid Dick Armey is to politics what an ESPN highlight reel is to sports. He laughs about Bill Clinton; he cries about Ronald Reagan. His hero: Clarence Thomas. His disappointment: Newt Gingrich's affair with a staffer. His future: Continuing to push the issues he cares about
"Retiring but not shy" Continued...
This is the best time for me to leave," Dick Armey insisted, as open cardboard boxes in his Capitol office suite showed that, best or not, the time had come. No regrets, he said, about the decision to leave Congress that he and his wife, Susan, made in June. Mrs. Armey "just about had us prayed out of [the decision] in July and I told her to quit praying," he added with a laugh.
One pleasure in retiring from politics is the opportunity to be the opposite of retiring in on-the-record comments. Washington is full of people who for quotation toss bouquets at fellow politicians and throw off-the-record darts at others. The outgoing House Majority Leader has been directly honest over the years (see WORLD's "Cowboy convert," Aug. 31, 1996) but recently, freed of any need to be diplomatic, he talked of some old times not forgotten--and some he would like to forget.
Mr. Armey started with the 1994 Republican takeover of Congress, and said that calling it a Gingrich-Armey revolution misses a third element--and gets the order wrong. "I think the three most important people with respect to the Republican majority were, maybe in this order: Hillary Clinton, Dick Armey, and Newt Gingrich," he stated, pointedly placing the former Speaker of the House in third place.
To call that year's GOP triumph a surprise is also inaccurate, as far as he is concerned: "I wasn't surprised. I was sitting in Dick Gephardt's car in October 1993 and when I was asked by Gephardt why I wasn't running for Republican whip, I said because I was running for majority leader. At the time he thought it was pretty funny and told me to stick to it. I did. Best advice he ever gave me. I saw what we were able to do, I expected to do it, and I knew the opportunity that Hillary had given us with her health-care plan."
In 1993, President Clinton had named his wife to head a task force that aspired to nationalize health care in America, replacing the current system with a "single-payer" regime of government control. The plan went nowhere, but the Clinton overreach provoked the backlash that Republicans rode to power. This year, voters reacted to Democratic underreach: Senate leader Tom Daschle's plan, as Mr. Armey put it, "to win by doing nothing." With control of the White House and both houses of Congress, he adds, "our potential accomplishments could be greater than they were after '94."
The "single largest public-policy accomplishment in the United States government" of the last decade, Mr. Armey said, was welfare reform in 1996. That's because "welfare reform obviously honors people's ability and says that if you can take care of yourself you should have the opportunity to provide for yourself rather than be dependent upon the state. It has worked. We have ... decrease[d] poverty, but most importantly decreased the rate of births with unwed young teen mothers. We have done that without increasing abortions. That's marvelous--the first time in a generation that's happening."
While Mr. Armey said that giving Newt Gingrich primary credit for the GOP's 1994 electoral success is wrong, he proclaimed enthusiastically that the "stubborn commitment ... sheer will, and legislative ingenuity of Newt Gingrich" made welfare reform happen. "He saw it, he understood it, he knew what it meant. Every good benefit we see in welfare reform today and in the lives of these little babies all over America, Newt predicted it. [He] took an issue of the heart, put his heart and soul and will [into it, and] changed the lives of children all over this nation."
But other characteristics of Newt Gingrich brought him down. One was Mr. Gingrich's secret life. "I worked side by side with Newt every day for four years," Mr. Armey recalled. "There were probably no two people in this town and in my life, on a day-by-day, hour-by-hour basis who were closer." Yet Mr. Armey insisted that he knew nothing of Mr. Gingrich's six-year affair with congressional aide Callista Bisek, which led to the breakup of his marriage to Marianne Gingrich and remarriage to Ms. Bisek.
"I might very likely have been very high on the list of the first five people in the world that Newt did not want to know," Mr. Armey added. "Susan and I were very, very close to Marianne. We still feel close to her. Like I suppose members of families do, we were hurt for Marianne, and we were disappointed in Newt."
Mr. Gingrich also hurt the GOP effort by letting Bill Clinton outfox him. "Clinton's charm worked with Newt," Mr. Armey said bluntly. He explained that President Clinton in one sense acted the same as almost all politicians: In a room full of admirers, most politicians will seek out the one who is not a fan and try to convert him. For Mr. Clinton, though, converting his opponents is almost an obsession. "I used to tell Newt with respect to his relationship with President Clinton, you are always better off if you are being pursued than you are if you are pursuing. Bill Clinton would pursue you if you refused to pursue him. Newt never got that, and I did get it."
Here's what Mr. Armey got: "I believe Bill Clinton to be the most successful adolescent I have ever known.... [He] was basically like a prep guy saying, 'Where's the next party? I love this job. Look at the parties. What a great limo. Ain't the plane nice?' ... I did not find the president entertaining ... I have one source of pride: I never fell for the act." Mr. Armey once phoned President Clinton's chief of staff and instructed him to keep White House photographers away during White House events where he was present, so that the president would not be able to use a Clinton-Armey photo to show that he really got along with conservatives.
Mr. Armey recalled that when Mr. Clinton "was leaving office and he was asked about his relationship to conservatives his point was, 'Oh, we're getting along fine. Why even Dick Armey and I were having a good laugh the other day.' That wasn't the case. Even he and Dick Armey had not had a good laugh, but he took reconciliation with me as the standard that he was reconciled to the conservatives. I took that as a great compliment because basically he saw me ... as the last dog standing out there. [I was the Clinton team's] most hated member of Congress. The reason being they never knew how to get to me."
Ronald Reagan is the former president Mr. Armey esteems: "Most awesome," he said, his voice rising in decibels and pitch. Mr. Armey smiled and chuckled as he launched into a story about working during the Reagan years on legislation to close unnecessary military bases. President Reagan held a small bill-signing ceremony in the Oval Office; Mr. Armey and his wife were invited to attend. "Here's Ronald Reagan; he sensed that the least comfortable person in the room was my wife, Susan, and he said, 'Susan, you come stand ...'"
At this point, Mr. Armey was overcome by emotion and could not finish the sentence. He cleared his throat and soldiered on. "'You come stand by me.' He reached out to her ..." Mr. Armey blinked away tears and provided his own comic relief to help him regain composure: "Imagine how I would have felt if Bill Clinton had said that to my wife ... But when I saw Ronald Reagan reach out to the woman I love with all my heart with that kindness and that consideration, it was like instinct to him.... To me that story tells who Ronald Reagan was. That's serious big-deal business, and yet his first thought was for the least comfortable person in the room."
The Capitol office Dick Armey is vacating has varied from the offices of other politicians by its dearth of "big-shot" memorabilia. (He has displayed a Ten Commandments plaque and also a replica of the Vince Lombardi trophy, the National Football League's top prize. His brother Charley, general manager of the St. Louis Rams, gave it to him after the Rams won the Super Bowl in 2000.) Mr. Armey explained that in one of his offices he ordered "big-shot" photos removed, because only two are worthy: Ronald Reagan and Clarence Thomas.
Mr. Armey's friendship with the much-maligned Supreme Court justice came by way of Mr. Thomas's wife, the former Ginny Lamp. She was a lobbyist with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce when Mr. Armey arrived in Washington in 1985. Together they successfully fought the push for a feminist economic theory called "comparable worth," under which a government panel--instead of the labor market--would set workers' wages. "Ginny was my pal," Mr. Armey says, "and she introduced me to Clarence."
In Clarence Thomas, Dick Armey saw another fighter. When the Senate Judiciary Committee took up Mr. Thomas's nomination to the Supreme Court, the official White House strategy was to play up the nominee's attractive biography, including his rise from a humble upbringing. His opponents' strategy was to hammer him with vulgar attacks based on evidence that did not stand up to scrutiny. The accusations were humiliating, but Mr. Thomas didn't break. He rejected his White House handlers' advice and went on the offensive himself; he tore into his opponents and said he was not going to be the passive victim of a "high-tech lynching."
"Who has seen such a moment of such personal courage and conviction larger than that in this town? Not I," Dick Armey said. "For me to have been able to sit and watch that example and experience all the emotions of fear, and hope, and awe, and respect, and then be able to say, 'That's my personal friend.' He gave me a gift of experience I don't think I'll ever see duplicated in my life. I will love him forever for the example he gave to me."
What's coming up for Mr. Armey? A pair of black cowboy boots stood waiting behind his desk as the Cando, N.D., native noted happily that his adopted hometown, Dallas, has a National Hockey League franchise, the Stars. Although the 62-year-old former college professor plans to remain active during his "third career" (which will include public-policy advocacy, writing, editorializing and, probably, a "book or two"), he is looking forward to watching more sports on television. "My wife took me downtown to show me a big-screen TV; I walked in the store, they had the Stars on, and I thought to myself, 'I love this lady. She deserves to watch the Stars on big-screen TV.'"
Mr. Armey holds a Ph.D. in economics from the University of Oklahoma, and in an interview for his 1996 profile in WORLD he described the economics of salvation: "With the market it's quid pro quo. With the family, everything is based on need. But with Christ, it's free. And there ain't no end to it! ... Salvation does not have a condition of scarcity." He said then, "What I attempt to do in Congress is pretty straightforward. My job is to prevent government from destroying our freedom. But the most important work to be done is for a person to come to terms with Jesus. That's my advice for anybody."
In 1996, Mr. Armey told of how he had recently come to terms with Jesus as he sat on an airplane bound for New York City. "I was supposed to get on a plane to go to D.C., but I got a note from my staff saying I had to be in New York. Sitting on that airplane, I started to think: How can I trust people so much that I will change my plans and go to a place I don't want to go and yet not trust God to get me to a place I want to go? It was pretty clear to me at that point ... I decided that Jesus knew more than a typical college professor."
In our recent interview, Mr. Armey spoke of the importance of President Bush's faith-based initiative: "Faith-based is antithetical to the belief system of the left. Liberals ... are threatened by private charity because private charity does those things they think government should do. But if you do faith-based, you are saying you recognize the fact that real people in their real lives from the charity of their heart will take care of one another, and that should be encouraged by government policy, not preempted by government policy. It will be fought by the left, and it needs to be prioritized on our side more than it has been."
The choice, he concluded, is between "government encouragement and support" of faith-based initiatives and "government preemption.... Whatever we do for one another voluntarily through charitable belief preempts the government's need to be there and do it. I've heard that expressed actually by a liberal. It never came to me until I heard him say it. He does not believe in private charity because private charity does in his life what [he believes] government should do."
Mr. Armey hopes that President Bush and the next Congress will stay the course in poverty-fighting. "With welfare reform we've improved the lives of children all over America," he noted. "With housing reform we affected the lives of real people and gave them a sense of controlling their own housing destiny instead of being housed as wards of the state."
He also hopes the GOP will push to "fix retirement security for all Americans by honoring American citizens' ability to do what ... those who have successfully retired have done throughout all our lifetimes: use their own resources in the growing potential of the American equity market." Privatizing Social Security, he said, "is the biggest public-policy opportunity of this generation, and we need to rise to the occasion. I think this election cycle removed political demagoguery from the issue. Democrats won't gain by practicing it, [so politicians can] treat the subject as adults."
Mr. Armey next year will no longer have in his office lovely 19th-century landscape paintings on loan from the Smithsonian, but he does take satisfaction from having changed the American landscape. "We have stumbled a little bit," he said. "There are times we looked a little foolish. I guess I have been misrepresented in terms of my character, my intention more times than I like. But I've never suffered the way our Lord or Clarence Thomas suffered by falsehoods. I don't have much regret.... There's an old line from Willie Nelson, 'The highs outnumber the lows.' The blessings are too many to count."
Political columnist Joel C. Rosenberg also participated in the interview.

Born on Aug. 25, 1930 in Edinburgh, Scotland, Connery was raised in a working class home by his father, Joseph, a factory worker and truck driver, and his mother, Euphamia, a housekeeper. When he was 13 years old, Connery began working as a milkman for St. Cuthbert's Co-operative Society, making deliveries in the morning before going to school. In 1946, he joined the Royal Navy for a 12-year stint, but was forced to leave three years later due to problems with stomach ulcers. After returning to the co-op to deliver milk, he found odd jobs as a lorry driver, laborer, artist's model and coffin polisher.

Video: La Russa on Darryl Kile
Video: Jim Edmonds on Darryl Kile's legacy with team
St. Louis, MO (KSDK) - Cardinal Nation marks a somber anniversary today.
It was 10 years ago Friday that pitcher Darryl Kile died. He was found dead in his Chicago hotel room, hours before a Cards-Cubs game at Wrigley Field.
The 33-year-old suffered a fatal heart attack, just four days after legendary Cardinals broadcaster Jack Buck died.
It's a dark time still fresh in the minds of Kile's teammates and former manager.

Kings Of Leon frontman Caleb Followill has sparked rumors he has steroid injections to boost his voice.
The rocker insists life on the road with the "Sex on Fire" hitmakers is starting to take its toll after they resumed touring in May, and he has now detailed the steps he takes to ensure the show must go on.
Followill admits he regularly boozes before hitting the stage to give his performance an edge, and has even hinted he receives regular muscle-boosting steroid shots to strengthen his vocal cords.
He tells Q magazine, "When you're going as fast as we were going, or working as hard as we were, you get into a rhythm. Then it becomes a case of, well, if I'm gonna go out there and kick a** tonight then I need to grab a couple of drinks first. And I'm going to need a steroid shot just to sing. After a while, that gets on top of you."

cups of excellences
Take a look over to the right column of this here humble "BLOG" and you see our latest arrivals of coffee. Lo and Behold! Actual lots from the Rwanda and Bolivia Cup of Excellence competitions. As the coffee buyer and cupper here at SM, even I can't quite believe they actually arrived. Sometimes it seems that the deliveries of these lots take longer and longer and longer. When was I at the Rwanda CoE? Last August? What month is it now, April? Lordy. The good news is this: we have been vacuum packing all of our CoE lots, and they are cupping incredibly good, super clean, vividly bright. Be they tardy as all get out, vacuum packaging has been the savior of these long lost lots, and they are just as they were on the cupping table at the event. The reviews are thorough, check them out ... -Tom

Wow, Ricardo, that's impressive. I'll have to take a look - map projections are super helpful, and this is a real treat to have. I don't know if you've had a look, but G.ProjectorWin offers the option to input an image and then select various projection. There's quite an extensive list - including the Winkel Tripel, which I don't think I'd ever looked at until just now! The program is free, but rather old. Someone here posted a link to the 1.1.2 version (which is how I picked it up almost a year ago); it might be something to look into.
You're grid is beautiful, by the way - I've just had a look at it, and had to download it. I can't imagine how long it took to work this all out by hand! I'd love to see a map (maybe one of yours?) using it.
Welcome to the forums!

the rubber was a bit hard around my ankles during my first use while snorkeling. They seemed to work underneath the water during a dive better than they did on the surface.

I have never purchased a mask before and shopped and read ALLOT of reviews before finally picking this mask. I have enjoyed snorkeling for years but have always done then on vacation "tour" packages and they have been provided by the companies and wanted my own and stop using the rental stuff. We took a cruise this March which included a day in Isle Roatan, Honduras where I got to try out this mask along with my new snorkel and flippers. THIS mask was GREAT! the full view of the lenses kept away the "tunnel-vision" effect many other mask I have rented. They were very comfortable to wear and sealed up on my face extremely well and comfortably. I wish I had bought some anti-fog though. This mask made my snorkeling in Roatan the highlight of our trip. GREAT view through the lens! GREAT PRICE - GREAT buy!

I posted this question in another post, but thought perhaps I would get a faster reply if I made a separate thread for it:
Well, I have found out how to move threads as a moderator.
I am just wondering if perhaps we should get the "OK" from the Zimbra team first. I can run around and gather up all the threads that pertain to backups and or migrations, I would just like to receive the official permission for this.
So Zimbra Team:
Can I search the exisiting threads for posts that pertain to Backups, Restores and Migrations, and move those threads into the "Migration" topic?
I only ask because it can be a sensitive issue if you start mucking with other peoples posts and I don't want to be caught with my pants down. :)

Hi there
I´ve been testing Zimbra Live Sync as per instructions found here: Server Live sync - Zimbra :: Wiki
After a few tests i must say i´m quite impressed. The sync was seamless. Everything was in there: mails, accounts...
But i´m having a little issue running "live_syncd" on the "ex-live" server. Let me explain.
We have "live server" and "backup server". We run live_syncd on the BACKUP SERVER and it starts syncing with the LIVE server via ssh (after creating keys).
When LIVE SERVER fails, the procedure is simply to stop live_syncd at the BACKUP server and start zimbra there. That is working just fine. live and backup are now reversed.
Now i want to fallback to my ex-live server. The procedure is to start live_syncd on the ex-live, let it catch up with the changes and start zimbra on it, but running live_syncd on ex-live is throwing an error:
"Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,password)."
And i cannot fallback to the original server. I know it´s related to ssh keys but i can´t find the reason why. /opt/zimbra/.ssh/ is identical at both servers.
Any clues?

Book v. Television Series: Game of Thrones
I am not a fantasy fan. I liked Narnia as a kid because talking animals are very cool, but in general the whole swords and sorcerers thing never grabbed me. However, I am a massive Peter Dinklage fan, and HBO wisely featured him on their ads for Game of Thrones. They also pushed Sean Bean and a scantily clad Emilia Clarke, but Peter Dinklage on a horse and making snide remarks: I wasn't going to miss it.
So I watched and I wasn't exactly thrilled. The world seems very much like medieval England and there are four main families with power: The Lannisters, the Starks, the Baratheons, and the much hated Targaryens. The first episode has all the fantasy trappings, plus the White Walkers who are somewhat like zombies. "Winter is coming" was announced many times in ponderous tones by Sean Bean and other greasy men with long hair and chain mail. Arrows were shot, swords swung, heads chopped off, and a princess-like girl gets married off to a "barbarian" for political reasons. There are at least a dozen important characters and most of them look similar (other than Peter Dinklage and Emilia Clarke with her white-blonde wig).
But the show hooked me with dramatic endings and sudden deaths. The acting is solid, especially the child actors, and the production looks expensive, with expensive vistas and impressive sets. Only the Wall looks like an obvious computer graphic. I won't give away plot points because the unfolding of the story is, of course, one of the pleasures of the series, but so far, the political maneuverings of the characters are more important than battle scenes. If a character seems random just trust the writers for now, because no minute is wasted. They need to condense an eight hundred page book to ten episodes. (Place your hold on the DVD now!)
At the moment there are five books in the series written by George RR Martin. The first book is also called Game of Thrones, beginning what Martin calls "A Song of Ice and Fire." The subtitle gave me pause because it sounds pretentious, but my curiosity won out. I just had to know what happened and couldn't wait ten months for season two, so I read the books. I wish I had waited. Time Magazine reviewer Lev Grossman pronounced Martin an "American Tolkien." Tolkien fans should protest.
The first three books expanded Martin's fantasy world in interesting ways, but the pacing was dreadful. What held me are the two main families--The Lannisters and the Starks. It's not quite good versus evil; Martin deals in shades of gray with most of his characters, even if the character development is slow and often obvious. Martin loves a cliffhanger ending, but when it takes another five hundred pages to get resolved, the urgency is gone. Finally, Martin keeps adding more and more characters, making it all too complex when really I just want to find out what happens to two or three characters. It's as if he's paid by how many new characters he can cram into each novel. The last two books have been mostly filler, presumably leading up to a flashy conclusion in the final two volumes.
My opinion is, of course, in the minority. Martin has a rabid fan base that is very active online. All of the books are bestsellers and generally well-reviewed. The author also has a very good website explaining his universe, and you can find it here. He really loves all the heraldry in his world. You've been warned.
My hope is that the television producers and writers condense the action and combine characters to make the whole enterprise faster, tidier, and more satisfying. I don't need them to go soft and change what happens to the characters even if I hate some of Martin's choices, but I want them to cut the bloat and give core characters more screen time. Their deaths or triumphs will have more impact if the audience remembers who the characters are and what purpose they serve to the larger story.
And of course, they need to keep giving Peter Dinklage all the good lines. And give this guy more screen time.
Author Bio:
Cynthia R. read three of the Dune novels before realizing the series would never end. And yes, she knows Dune is science fiction and not fantasy. Only Anne McCaffrey can combine dragons and space travel. Except there's Timothy Zahn, but his series isn't quite so epic.
Lev Grossman
You're a massive Peter Dinklage fan, I'm a massive Lev Grossman fan. I'm glad you mentioned him! If you liked Narnia as a kid (or even if you didn't -- I didn't), then read Grossman as an adult. It's fantasy for grownups. A group of young adults who love a Narnia-like world find themselves chosen to become magicians. They actually enter the world they've always wished they could be in -- a fully imagined world where they find out what the consequences of magic really are. The first book is called The Magicians, and the second is The Magician King. They're fantastic.
Thanks for the suggestion
It's always good to get new fantasy suggestions. I will hunt them out. And a series that only has two books so far! Delightful. Thanks for responding.

Date: Jun 9th, 2013
Anoka County Library, in partnership with the Lyric Arts Theater, is pleased to offer a "Page & Stage" performance of Barefoot in the Park on Sunday, June 9th, beginning at 12:00 pm at the Lyric Arts Main Street Stage. Lyric Arts Theater is located at 420 E. Main Street in Anoka.
Participants will receive a copy of the script and a study guide to prepare for the pre-show discussion. Cristopher Tibbetts will facilitate the discussion of the script, its characters, and "what to look for" in the performance. Participants will enjoy the performance of Barefoot in the Park and then stay for a post-show discussion where the cast and director hold a question and answer session with the audience.
"After a long winter, this refreshing comedy will have the audience ready to laugh out loud!" said Anoka County Commissioner Scott Schulte. "Simon is a master of combining humor and the hard reality of human relationships."
In Neil Simon's timeless "laugh out loud" comedy, Paul and Corie Bratter are newlyweds who are realizing the honeymoon is over. He's a serious young lawyer and she's a free-spirited bride. Their tiny "top-of-the-building-with-no-elevator" Manhattan apartment is perfect to keep a meddlesome mother-in-law away. But with bad plumbing, a closet for a bedroom, a leak in the skylight, and an unexpected rooftop neighbor…well, anything that can go wrong invariably does.
Barefoot in the Park proves the theory that opposites really do attract in one of Broadway's most enduring and successful romantic comedies!
"Discussing the play before and after the performance creates a deeper appreciation for this heartfelt comedy," said Library Board Vice President Melanie Keister. "Watch how the actors and actresses bring the characters you have imagined to life."
The program is open to ages 15 and older. Registration is required and seating is limited. To reserve a spot, contact the Main Street Box Office at 763-433-2510 extension 101 and mention the Anoka County Library Barefoot in the Park "Page and Stage" program. Participants must register by May 31 and are expected to take part in all aspects of the program, including pre-show and post-show discussions.
To register for this free event, call 763-433-2510, extension101. This event is funded with money from Minnesota's Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund. For more information about Lyric Arts Theater, visit http://www.lyricarts.org.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Alexander Buckley, 21, charged with the murder of 18-year-old Siobhan Nichole Lee will be present at the D.C. Superior Court on Saturday.

Cruisin' Back to the 50's in Culver City - Web ExclusiveWritten by on June 13, 2008 George Barris' Annual Hot Rod and Custom Show
If anybody gets to be nostalgic, it's custom-car builder George Barris. The man's been a part of the hot rod and custom car movement since its earliest days, and shows no evidence of getting out now. Four years ago, George decided to sponsor a hot rod and custom show to bring back the days of cruising and racing and bench racing in the Los Angeles area. The result was the Cruisin' Back to the 50's Culver City Car Show. We go every year and couldn't miss the 5th annual event, which filled the streets of downtown Culver City with a terrific variety of pre-'75 rods, customs, restos, musclecars, classic trucks, and lowriders-not to mention vendors, live music, and crowds of spectators.
This trip back to the 1950s, with George as it's personal tour guide, has been getting bigger and better, and more crowded, every year. We're hearing rumors that the city has agreed to close off even more local streets next year to allow the show to continue to grow. We can't wait. Until then, we've got photos from this year's event to indulge our own nostalgia.

In a paper published in the journal, PLoS ONE, scientists at Wageningen University in The Netherlands proposed that eating mealworms is a more sensible way of acquiring protein in the diet than eating chicken, pork or cattle. Per the article:
Compared to a kilogram of edible protein in meat from cows, chickens or pigs, production of the same amount of mealworm protein emits fewer greenhouse gases and requires much less land to grow. The findings support the argument that environmentally conscious eaters may do well to include beetle larvae in their diets. "This study demonstrates that mealworms should be considered a more sustainable source of edible protein," the team writes in a paper published yesterday in the journal PLoS ONE...Among the things that the worm-like larvae have going for them, they don't emit methane. Also, they are prolific. Depending on the species, females release up to 1,500 eggs over a lifetime. Larvae develop quickly and they convert their food into protein efficiently, at a similar rate to chicken but better than pigs and cattle.

The "complete protein" thing is an old myth. Most planst don't contain all of the amino acids, but you don't need them all in one food, or even one meal. As long as a person eats a variety of foods, there is no problem with getting them all. Quinoa and tofu are among those plant foods that ARE complete protiens.
I'm will be 66 years old next month and exercise with weights so I am concerned that my body is not going to get the protein it needs to recover from the weight training.
Most Americans think they need far more protein than they do. I lift weights and I never did before becoming vegan. And there are plenty of plant based protein powders for bodybuilders and athletes who want a concentrated source they can ingest a lot of fast. There are vegan bodybuilders, marathoners, endurance athletes, etc. Protein is SO not a problem. Have you ever heard of anyone with a protein deficiency?? If so, they were starving...not short of protein. I get tons of protein from wholegrains, nuts, seeds and even vegetables have protein. Google "vegan bodybuilders" or "vegan athletes" and you'll see they are getting all the protein they need.
Out of curiosity though, are there some animals such as great white sharks or crocodiles that you don't have a heart for? They are cold bloodedly ruthless and amount to killing machines that inflict inhumane death on victims at least some of which respond positively to love.
Well, first off I don't hold animals to the same moral standards as I do humans. Some animals are very intelligent, but since we can't communicate with them it is hard to tell exactly how intelligent.
I am far more likely to meet an "inhumane" death at the hands of one of my fellow humans than by any other animals. And yet I still "have a heart" for humans! It has much more to do with ME than them. My morality tells me it is wrong to cause suffering to other animals...including humans. Since I don't need to kill animals to live a happy, healthy life....it would be immoral of me to do so. Most animals don't have a lot of choice about what to eat. Crocodiles and Sharks are good examples. I don't think there is a lot of thinking going on there....just eating machines really. But I wouldn't harm one unless I needed to in self defense. I prefer to leave wild animals alone.

In good conscience I differ with you at least on this. I don't care if there is a lot of thinking going on or not. If they are inhumanely eating animals that respond positively to love then my moral obligation in order to protect those who respond positively to love is to contain the eating machines. If this means killing them then so be it but I would not unnecessarily sacrifice potentially loving animals to cold blooded massacre by hopelessly ruthless predators. Very honestly, if you were swimming and a great white approached you with dinner on its mind would you want someone to save you if possible even if it meant killing the shark? If the answer is yes then I hold that you are maintaining a double standard. That is, you would be saying that you should be saved on the basis of your character but that others with the same character should not be saved. As far as I am concerned we can use all of the sharks and crocodiles that exist to help solve the world hunger problem by making food out of them.
I don't understand your response. I already said I had no problem killing an animal in senf defence...and that includes humans. I don't see where the confusion is here. I'm saying we shouldn't exploit animals or kill them as if they are a commodity. They have as much right to their lives as we do. OBVIOUSLY if any animal attacks you (including a human) you have the right to defend yourself. Although I find it very amusing when a bear hunter ends up being killed by the bear. People shouldn't pick fights.
Hi Pam: Firstly, I don't want you to think that I am criticizing you because, basically, I think you are coming from a very good place. However, I do in good conscience disagree with you at least on one point. You said:
I already said I had no problem killing an animal in self defence...and that includes humans. I don't see where the confusion is here.
I believe in killing in self defense to. However, I would also kill in defense of some others. For example, to save his victims I would have killed the shooter who recently massacred elementary school students at Sandy Hook Elementary School if I could have. Given this I face a question: Should I for the same reason approve of killing great white sharks to save seals? To be philosophically consistent I must answer yes. This is why I care nothing about animals like sharks and crocodiles. By killing them we would save their prey some of which are animals that have the potential to love. I see you as defending animals such as sharks and crocodiles at least so far as in granting them their natural life styles. Therefore, I see a philosophical difference between us in which, to me, my position is more morally defensible than yours. However, let me again say that, basically, I think you are coming from a very good place.
I'm sorry John I don't see your point. Are you saying it is ok to kill sharks because they kill seals??? What about the animals the seals eat?? Who decides which animals lives matter more. If humans are in danger because a shark is eating people at the beach, then I can see why they might kill or relocate a shark. But if we killed all sharks we might fuck up the ecosystem. I may hate mosquitos because they have a preference for MY blood, seemingly over any human around me....but I wouldn't advocate killing all mosquitos because I'm pretty sure the ecosystem depends on them. I don't advocate "fcuking with nature" if there is a viable alternative. I don't think humans have gotten very good results out of that.
You said: Protein is SO not a problem. Have you ever heard of anyone with a protein deficiency??
Yes, there IS such a thing as protein deficiency. It's called kwashiorkor, and occurs among vegans, people with eating disorders, elderly people and children when they don't get enough variety of food. At one point, I read an article about poorly-educated African mothers who were giving their babies flour mixed with water -- it LOOKS white like milk, and the babies were getting calories, but getting ill and dying from lack of protein.
Now, I'm not saying that you can't get protein from vegetable sources; just that protein deficiency DOES exist. And when you make a flippant comment like that, it destroys your credibility.
As I said in an earlier post, the only people with protein deficiency are STARVING!!! They are not getting enough calories. And no, vegans do NOT suffer from this. How fucking absurd. Mycomment was not "flippant", it was accurate. The only people with a protein deficiency are not getting enough calories and are therefore deficient in A LOT of things. No one getting enough food has this problem.
some plants have protein but not complete protein.
Quinoa and amaranth (plant foods) do have complete protein, see the USDA nutrients database. All plants have protein (!) Vegans don't need to get all their essential amino acids from a single food or even at a single meal, though. Jack Norris, a vegan dietician, says the essential amino acid lysine may be a problem for vegans. I don't have a problem getting enough lysine. I get marginally enough methionine/cystine - but a low-methionine diet may be life-extending anyway :)
I've gotten a lot of exercise - bicycling (no car), weightlifting, Concept 2 rowing machine - without feeling a need for meat. Quinoa and amaranth are my vegan meat-substitutes since they have a lot of protein. Other vegans probably have different ones. The particular food one turns to after a workout is a matter of habit and culture. You can get the protein you need from a vegan diet. There are vegan bodybuilders and all sorts of vegan athletes.
I like to be light on my feet, and a lowfat vegan diet is also the easiest way to be thin longterm, I think. And it may be life-extending; caloric restriction extends life in many different creatures and almost certainly does so for people.
To some extent, good health is just about eating less.
are there some animals such as great white sharks or crocodiles that you don't have a heart for? They are cold bloodedly ruthless and amount to killing machines that inflict inhumane death on victims at least some of which respond positively to love.
Personally, I don't have a heart for mosquitoes :) It's just a personal reaction to having my blood sucked.
I was wondering if Pamela would eat lab-grown meat, if it were tasty enough. I wouldn't.
Eeeewww, no I don't want lab grown meat either. I don't miss eating meat, dairy or eggs in the slightest. I feel great and all my bloodwork is perfect. Think I'll keep eating my veggies!
I'm not too fond of mosquitos either...they seem to prefer me to all other humans. Still I prefer to avoid them than kill them. And once the little sucker is already stuck to my arm, killing it is pointless since the damage is already done....big bump...itchy for days.
Off to make sauteed kale and portabello mushrooms with some yummy lentil loaf. Blueberry tofu-cheesecake for dessert. "Oh, I'm such a deprived vegan!!" /sarc
I think a bolt to the brain is much more humane than being killed by wolves nipping at your heels, bringing you down, and then chewing you to death. I agree that animals should be raised in comfort, and killed as mercifully as possible, but I don't agree that they shouldn't be eaten for moral reasons.
Cows don't have the brains to know that the animals in line ahead of them are being killed. They don't have the concept of death, and they don't know they're going to die. Don't attribute intelligence when it isn't there. I've worked with cows -- they're ANIMALS! Evolutionarily, they were prey animals, and have always been eaten.
And please don't insult the memory of those who were murdered in the Holocaust. They DID know what was happening to them, and there was no rational reason for their murder -- they were innocent human beings, plain and simple. They were NOT animals!
Your Holocaust analogy is what makes your arguments untenable, bigoted and insulting. Notice I said your arguments, not you -- I hope you have the ability to learn.
Of course they know what is happening to the cows in front of them. That may be one of the stupidest things I've ever heard anyone say. Think this through..slowly. If an animal did not knwo the animal next to it was being killed, it would just stand there watching...and be killed next. Whole herds would just stand their gaping while they were picked off one by one. OF COURSE they know what is happening!! Recognizing that one of your fellow species is being killed is probably a pretty frigging early evolutionary adaptation for animals. WOW....how absurd...I can't believe you even said that.
Yes, cows are animals. Humans are animals. I didn't say cows were as intelligent as humans...I said they can suffer, feel pain and distress. Apparently you have NO empathy. You sound absolutely heartless. I'd like to never meet a person like you in real life.
And please don't insult the memory of those who were murdered in the Holocaust. They DID know what was happening to them, and there was no rational reason for their murder -- they were innocent human beings, plain and simple. They were NOT animals!
Yes...they were animals. Bi-pedal apes. Just like us. Not different from other social animals. Just smarter....on average.
Your Holocaust analogy is what makes your arguments untenable, bigoted and insulting. Notice I said your arguments, not you -- I hope you have the ability to learn.
I've learned plenty already. The fact that you think I would be improving myself if I became a heartless bastard and a speciesist speaks volumes about your personal morality...or should I say lack thereof. Again, you seem positively vile....not just your arguments....YOU!
Yeah, the easier access to high-calorie, high-protein food may have partially caused the shift to larger brains and smaller guts. I don't know if you've noticed, looking around at your fellow Americans, but getting a high-calorie diet is no longer as much of an issue.
Also, the shift to more of a hunter behavior could have triggered the rise in intelligence, not the addition of the meat itself, to the diet. Higher intelligence tends to happen in hunter species. You're running afoul of correlation and causation.

I simply pointed out that the level of personal attacks on this site are far greater than the other site....and most of them come from a very limited number of posters. I suspect he is smart enough to see it for himself, if he chooses to spend much time here.
And for the record, I have a very good sense of humor. I don't find anything humorous in the great majority of your posts.

Ron Paul to Visit LeMars
(LeMars) -- Texas Congressman and Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul is going to make another campaign swing through northwest Iowa, including a political rally stop in LeMars. Paul, the 76 year old candidate, is scheduled to appear at the LeMars Convention Center on Friday, December 30th at 1:00 p.m. Other northwest Iowa stops will include Sioux City and Sioux Center. Recent polls have placed Paul in the third position for the upcoming Iowa Caucus, behind the two front runners Former Speaker Newt Ginrich and Massachuettes governor, Mitt Romney.
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) - Funeral services will be held in Sioux City for an American man who died in an accidental fall while climbing in a remote mountainous area in Lebanon.
The body of 33-year-old John Redwine was found Dec. 20 in the central region of Sannine, three days after he went missing.
Christy-Smith Funeral Home in Sioux City says Redwine's funeral will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday at Grace United Methodist Church.
Redwine was from Sioux City. His family says he had been living in Beirut and working in public relations and communications.
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) - A Kansas City, Kansas man has been sentenced to 10 years in prison in connection with a shooting in downtown Sioux City earlier this year. The U.S. attorney's office
says 29-year-old Michael Johnson was sentenced earlier this month in U.S. District Court in Sioux City. He pleaded guilty in July to being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition. He was
sentenced on December 15th.
OTTUMWA, Iowa (AP) - Police in Ottumwa, Iowa, have charged a high school student with conspiracy to commit terrorism in what authorities say was a plan to "harm a number of students."
The Ottumwa Courier reports a 16-year-old girl was arrested onThursday and taken to a juvenile detention center.
Police began investigating after the teen allegedly began trying to recruit other students.
Police Chief Jim Clark wouldn't say if others were aware of the girl's plan, but he says there is no further threat.
The Associated Press generally doesn't identify juveniles accused of a crime.

With more than 125 years of shoemaking under their belt, Josef Seibel is one of Europe's longest established shoe manufacturers. This family-owned business started in a small German village and is now in its fourth generation under Carl-August Seibel.
All of their sandals, clogs, shoes and boots are expertly handcrafted using the Josef Seibel comfort concepts. Using only the best quality leathers and crafted using traditional methods, most of Josef Seibel's shoes are still produced within their own factories in Europe.
Hand stitching is a core feature in the footwear offered by Josef Seibel. Traditional hand stitching offers increased flexibility, increased durability, and an original appearance. Josef Seibel likes to say that it gives their shoes a broken in feel right out of the box.
Strobel construction is also another core feature of Josef Seibel footwear. The word "Strobel" describes the specific way of stitching upper leathers and lining to the insole of footwear. The Strobel construction offers a much higher flexibility and strength than many other types of construction utilized in the shoe industry today. As Josef Seibel said, "Our name on the outside, our knowledge on the inside".
After more than 125 years of shoe-making experience, we'd say that's a lot of knowledge that you can see and feel with every pair of Josef Seibel shoes! Experience it for yourself this holiday season!

The village can be reached year-round by car or postal bus. Its pride and glory is the splendid, panoramic view of the Rhône valley and the surrounding Franco-Swiss Alps.
In summer, the resort offers countless itineraries for outings on foot, horseback or mountain bike in the heart of the world-renowned, Franco-Swiss recreational area, the Portes du Soleil. Strolling along trails and through alpine pastures nearly 2'000 m high, the visitor has every opportunity to admire the splendid views of the valley below, not to mention the surrounding landscape rich in alpine flora. The attentive sightseer might even catch a glimpse of some deer or mountain goats nimbly scaling the rocky hillsides.
The resort itself offers a pool and open-air tennis courts, an equestrian centre, a paragliding school and charming restaurants specializing in local cuisine. Best of all is the famous Valaisan sunshine.
In winter, this family-oriented resort offers countless possibilities for skiers of all levels to find their niche. The excellent snow conditions, the ski school and the charming village restaurants and nightclub make Torgon an ideal vacation destination from December to April.

Don't worry though, we have a lot more Road Helmets in stock than that.View Similar Products
Mavic Plasma SLR Helmet $0.00
Manufacture d'Articles Vélocipédiques Idoux et Chanel has specialized in wheels and rims for decades. But, did you know Mavic has done a bit of "this and that" across the cycling world? It even developed the first electronic drivetrain. In the past few years though, much to our delight, Mavic has turned its engineering talent to apparel and protection, giving us the peloton-ready Plasma SLR Helmet.
Mavic's engineers took a long hard look at designing a helmet that is both lightweight and well-ventilated, yet protective. First, Mavic looked at optimizing the actual shape of the helmet. It conducted cranial mapping tests as to ensure that its helmet shapes closely match typical head shapes. This involved identifying and accounting for all of head's natural pressure points and contours. Accordingly, the interior shape of the helmet consequently flows along with the curves of the skull. And while the helmets are designed around the average shape, Mavic knew that no two heads are the same. So, Mavic developed what it calls its Ergo Hold System. Basically, this system allows for as much as six centimeters of one-handed size adjustment.
For the final touches on fit perfection, as well as excellent moisture management, Mavic has included its Ergo Fit Pro Pad with X-Static. It might not seem like much when you look at it, but the Ergo Fit Pro Pad is a low density, open cell foam that wicks moisture away from the skin for a rapid evaporation. Featured in the material are the anti-stink, X-Static fibers. Although it was developed for industrial and medical products, it didn't take long for commercial manufacturers to see how well it would work in athletic equipment. As a fiber with a layer of 99.9% pure silver, X-Static keeps odors to a minimum, while reducing irritating static.
With your head comforted on the inside, Mavic took a hard look at what it could do for the exterior of the helmet. First, Mavic fashioned a sleek profile that has a low-volume construction. Then, looking towards ventilation, Mavic developed its Ergo Protec Carbon. This material makes it possible for Mavic to build in huge frontal vents without compromising any of the helmet's crash protection. Additionally, the aggressive shape aids in aerodynamics, while channeling the comforting wind through the vents. Finally, Mavic included reflective highlights in order to increase your visibility to motorists in low-light conditions.
The Mavic Plasma SLR Helmet is available in the sizes Small, Medium, and Large and in the colors Black, White/black, and Mavic Yellow/black.

Do you have the weight specs. On this helmet ? Is it true the sizing on these helmets run small? I measured in @ 22 1/4inch. So I was thinking of the medium. What's your recommendations on size? Thanks.
Hey JT. This Helmet in a size medium weighs 285 grams.
At 22 1/4 inches, a medium will be a perfect fit for you.
