Quote of the Week: Hélder Pessoa Câmara
"When I give food to the poor, I am considered a saint. But when I ask why they are poor, I am called a communist."
- Hélder Pessoa Câmara, the Catholic Archbishop of Olinda and Recife, Brazil, serving from 1964 to 1985 during the military regime of the country. He was an advocate of liberation theology, and is remembered for the above aphorism.

The Spoils of Babylon Review: Epic Nonsense Starring Tobey Maguire & Kristen Wiig
Originally posted 01/09/2014 02:40PM
The Spoils of Babylon, premiering Thursday on IFC (10 p.m. ET/PT) and produced by Funny or Die, is more correctly titled – with a significant loss of magnificent pretentiousness – Eric Jonrosh's The Spoils of Babylon.
It also bills itself as an "epic television event," but in truth boils down to a mere six half-hour episodes.
And although Babylon boasts a cast that starts somewhere in the A-list (Tobey Maguire, Kristen Wiig, Will Ferrell), it stoops a little to accommodate a few highly respectable character actors (Tim Robbins, Michael Sheen). Then it improbably winds down to Haley Joel Osment, the former child star of The Sixth Sense, and Val Kilmer.

How the Cannes Film Festival Is Going to the Cats

Hollywood's finest and most familiar faces – from Jessica Chastain to Jessica Biel – have flocked to the South of France for the Cannes Film Festival. (Did we mention Jennifer Lawrence, Leonardo DiCaprio and Emma Watson, too?)
But the true stars of the festival have yet to show up.
Meet the ginger-colored cats who steal scenes from Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan and Justin Timberlake in the Coen brothers' latest film, Inside Llewyn Davis. (Fun fact: It took six felines to fill the role of the cat who follows Isaac around 1961 New York in the film.)

Smoke's Poutinerie
578 Queen St. West
Toronto, ON
What's not to love about poutine? Fries, melty cheese curds and hot steamy gravy poured all over.
Smoke's is the place to go to get great poutine, seriously!
I had to take my Ohio friends to Smoke's before leaving they went home, I mean what's more Canadian than poutine?!
Whaddup Ohio!! (look at them exchange American money for Canadian! Oh silly Americans)
The menu, simple but done right!
This was my first time heading to the Queen Street location, it's a fair bit smaller compared to the one on Adelaide Street. Also there wasn't much seating, just some bar stools.
Anyway, let's get to the point!
Satya and I shared a regular sized Double Pork Poutine, $7.99. This was probably the BEST poutine I've ever had. The pulled pork was absolutely delicious, it was sweet and savoury at the same time and not overly salty. The bacon gave the whole poutine an extra salty, crispy element and the peppercorn gravy was perfect. When you would get a piece of peppercorn, it was a nice surprise of heat.
Perfect ratio of toppings, cheese curds, gravy and fries.
This is the Pulled Pork Poutine, $6.99.
The Montreal Poutine contains shaved Montreal smoked meat, kosher dill pickle and mustard.
Nothing but rave reviews by the Ohioians!
I'm already planning my next trip to Smoke's this weekend!
A must try if you live or if you're just visiting Toronto!

I had heard that. Now it makes me wonder if Nigel was quite the prima-donna doggie-woggie and was the inspiration for John's poem.
You know, I love that bit though in the play: Ringo chases John. The dog chases Ringo, and George, attached by the dog's leash has to chase after the dog. For some reason I always think of that story about the Golden Goose.

Lucy and her diamonds now have companions in the sky. Too cool.
I will preface my next thought by acknowleding that the accuracy of Wikipedia has been questioned in the past. But did anyone else notice that John and Paul had asteroids named after them, while George and Ringo had minor planets named after them?
I started to look up both terms to see if there were actually the same thing. I started to read an article on it, but got a headache.
20 September 2011
Good point. John and Paul are asteroids, George and Ringo minor planets. Usually we think of planets as being bigger (or I do at least), but people generally see John and Paul as more important. Is the astronomer trying to say something?
1 May 2010
Well according to this, 4147 Lennon, 4148 McCartney, 4148 Harrison and 4150 Starr are minor planets
I'm asking a friend.

Wow, that must be an old web page, it lists George's dates as "1943--present"
I thought the article's description of Ringo was quite dismissive.

Barriers to Reforming Healthcare: The Italian Case

Using the conceptual lenses offered by the ideational and cultural path taken in the health care arena, this article attempts to explain the trajectory of recent major health care reforms in Italy and the reasons for their failure, as well as providing some directions for successful intervention. A diachronic analysis of the relatively under-investigated phenomenon of health care reforms in Italy is carried out, drawing on a systematic review of the Italian and international literature combined with the research work carried out by the Author. For all the three major health reforms examined, a significant gap between the authoritative policy choices taken and the overall implementation, in terms of process and system changes, can be observed, determining a growing distance between the theoretical efficiency and the practical effectiveness of the Italian National Health Service (NHS) as well as its detachment from the social system. The main obstacle to effective reform seems to be the cultural hegemony of the administrative-managerial and the biomedical paradigms, which, by reinforcing one another, yielded infertile ground for renewing in a post-modern sense the Italian NHS. The various Reforms have not been conceived to break such a positivistic monopoly in that they did not promote cultural or educational intervention. In this context, intervention that acts at a cultural level, such as reforming university education for physicians and managers or devising immigration policies to attract adequately acculturated people to the Italian NHS, seems to be the most promising.

Hundreds salute HonorAir program
Published: Sunday, October 12, 2008 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, October 12, 2008 at 5:00 p.m.
East Henderson High School Chorus sang Armed Forces Medley. As each militarys branchs theme came up, a member of the chorus shouted out the branch for the veterans to stand. As each song started, the veterans for the branch stood and saluted, the crowd of spectators cheered the men for their service to this country. It was just the beginning of the HonorAir reunion held Saturday in front of Henderson Countys Historic Courthouse.
Photo Galleries
I think its wonderful, said Eleanor DaPrato of Asheville.
Eleanor was with her husband, Tom DaPrato, a World War II veteran, a pilot with the Air Force. He flew 32 missions over Italy.
R.D. Hodges is a World War II and Korean War veteran from the Army. Hodges spoke fondly of Jeff Miller, HonorAir founder, saying he lived on his street when he was younger and knew his father.
Id never believed when I first came here in 1955 that Henderson County would be here, and so many have contributed to its success, said Hodges. It was a real struggle to complete this courthouse, but it means a great deal.
John Adams was in the infantry during World War II. He participated in an HonorAir flight in May 2007.
I just wanted to come down and really say thank you, said Adams.
I am a World War II veteran, said Richard Timmerman of Hendersonville. Timmerman served in the Navy on the USS Arkansas. He was invited to go with HonorAir, but gave someone else his place.
It was a day to celebrate veterans. Their contributions to the country and the community. It was a day to honor Jeff Miller, who helped found HonorAir and take six trips to Washington, D.C. Miller also helped found Honor Flight Network, the national program working to veterans from across the country to see the World War II memorial. The network is active in 32 states, and Miller said they have flown about 20,000 veterans.
I just couldnt be any happier, Miller said.
Guardians, who went with the veterans and were responsible for them during the trip, also came out. Elmer Levi is a Vietnam veteran. He saw HonorAir advertised in the paper and wanted to take his two uncles, World War II veterans. Elmers uncle James Levi got to lay the wreath at the memorial during the trip. Elmer said it was one of the greatest moments he ever had.
I was lucky enough and privileged enough to be a guardian on the first trip up, added Elmer.
Robert Stenger said he asked to be involved and became a guardian. He was looking for his guys at the reunion.
It was the biggest honor, said Stenger of going on the trip. An unbelievable experience.
The day did not forget the gold star mothers and the widows of veterans. Each widow was given a yellow rose, and the mothers had a place of honor to sit.
I feel really humble and grateful the veterans asked me to go to Washington, D.C., said Odean Fondren, whos husband, Aubry Turner, a fighter pilot, was shot down over Italy. It was one of the best experiences of my life.
Former Sen. Bob Dole came out with North Carolina Sen. Elizabeth Dole to show their support to the veterans and HonorAir. They had commendations from the Senate for Jeff Miller. Each also gave a donation of $10,000 to the Honor Flight Network.
We remember your service and are humbled by your sacrifice, said Elizabeth to the veterans.
Bob spoke of his time as a World War II veteran. He teared up when he spoke of the portion of the war which shows the gold stars, 400 of them, each representing 100 people lost. Bob meets every flight of veterans which comes to the memorial. He spoke on what it mean to young kids to see these heroes.
If someone tells you one man or one woman couldnt make a difference, go talk to Jeff Miller, added Bob.
Congressman Heath Shuler of the 11th District also spoke at the reunion. He made a special presentation to Jeff Miller.
I think it goes back to the community to have done so well and who have been working and making a difference, said Shuler. We dont just stop at Western North Carolina or at the state, but spread it throughout the country.
The veterans were dancing in the streets in front of the Historic Courthouse. They filled the block, most chairs in front of the stage filled. It was cloudy in the morning, but, Miller said, As soon as (the veterans) arrive, the sun comes out.

FO: Cozy scarf and a hat
Here is my new scarf -- I am going through some serious destashing :) I used this pattern http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/L0422.html?noImages=
I will add a hat picture later when it's dry. Just don't want to start a million threads :)
That's ok. It's a fashion show just to see the things you've knit. Great color changes in this scarf!
Oh I love the soft, watercolory way the yarn colors play out! The scarf looks like you used a fisherman rib, nice and cushy! Great job!
I hate the Lionbrand website. Everytime I click a lionbrand pattern link...it wants a person to LOG IN to see the darn pattern! I can never remember my password, and I'm too lazy to stop and dig it up! So I just have to imagine what the pattern looks like. Bah!
Great scarf. Lovely colors and I really like that stitch for scarves.
Ahh very pretty, thats my kind of scarf, I especially love the colours.
Actually, I saw this scarf as a WIP here and followed the link, can't find this thread. The same with legwarmers :)
That's pretty!
I avoid the LB site for the most part even though I stay logged in. I don't like the way it's laid out and it doesn't fill my measly 17" monitor screen so it's a waste of space.
Beautiful scarf! :heart:
Thank you for the link. I will use the pattern for one of my Special Olympics scarves...I think it will work up nicely in the Cherry Red and Soft Navy colors for this year.
Not sure why, but when I click on your link I immediately get the pattern site...don't have to sign in every time.
Cute and very nice fall colors too! I am sure you will enjoy wearing it.
Thanks! I tried to make it in worsted weight yarn but it seemed too stiff (or too bulky with larger needles) although the ridges were more pronounced.
And for this one I used Patons Lace (80% acrylic, 10% mohair, 10% wool) with 4.5 mm needles.

There is no story in 20th-century history more important to understand than Hitler's rise to power and the collapse of civilization in Nazi Germany. With The Coming of the Third Reich, Richard Evans, one of the world's most distinguished historians, has written the definitive account for our time. A masterful synthesis of a vast body of scholarly work integrated with important new research and interpretations, Evans's history restores drama and contingency to the rise to power of Hitler and the Nazis, even as it shows how ready Germany was by the early 1930s for such a takeover to occur. The Coming of the Third Reich is a masterwork of the historian's art and the book by which all others on the subject will be judged.
©2005 Richard J. Evans (P)2010 Gildan Media Corp
"[A]n impressive achievement.... [Evans'] opus will be one of the major historical works of our time." (The Atlantic)
"Compelling and depressing"
This is a horrifying and depressing story, but an important one. Richard Evans is a careful historian, not given to hyperbole and dramatic flourishes, and Sean Pratt matches his tone with a comfortable pace and even tone. Yet in its methodical way, the book lays out a gripping tale.
One point Evans makes is that the Nazis did NOT come to power democratically; they never won more than about 38% of the popular vote. Their victory was a result of PR, brutal street violence, and "backstairs intrigue," with their participation in the electoral process mostly for show. Once in, they proceeded to infiltrate and dominate every aspect of German society, down to the smallest blue-collar singing club in the smallest rural village. Everything was made to point in the same direction in a massive program of "coordination."
One of the most depressing aspects of this whole dismal saga, to me, is the way the Nazis were able to take over German culture, science, and higher education. Jewish musicians were fired; "non-Aryan" physicists and biologists were forced out of the universities and out of the country, to the great impoverishment of German science; philosophy was dominated by Martin Heidegger, who fully embraced the Nazi program. Gung-ho college students tore through bookshops and libraries, seizing "anti-German" material and throwing it onto a bonfire.
The book stops in the spring of 1933, just after the Nazi revolution and before the brown shirts were decimated in the "Night of the Long Knives." The second volume in the trilogy, "The Third Reich in Power," is available on Audible with the same narrator. (I'm going to wait a few weeks before I tackle that one: I need some time to recover from the first volume.)
"Very thorough history."
I am not the target audience for this book. Evans says, in the preface, that his target are those who know little or nothing of this period and I have been reading about the lead-up to World War II for most of my adult life starting with Shirer's The Rise And Fall of the Third Reich (a book Evans does not think much of).
I had not expected to learn very much new, but found how wrong I was about that. The first 1/3 of the book involves the period from the start of the Bismarck period through the end of World War I and does not involve any of the familiar names (Hitler, Goering, Gobbles, Hess, Himmler, etc). It does give the background that provided the fertile ground that allowed the Nazi movement to find purchase. In doing so the author shows that the Nazi beliefs in anti-Semitism, anti-Marxism, anti-socialism, their disdain for democracy, their belief in pan-Germanism and their desire to find extra living space in the East were not new to German culture or beliefs, but had been around for a long time. And this foundation does much to explain the speed with which the Nazi movement gained ground and grew. The remainder of this volume deals with the Nazis themselves, their allies, their opponents, their climb to power and the individuals involved.
I have only two complaints about this book. The first concerns the author's decision to make no moral judgments about the morality of the Nazi actions. While I understand the desire to create a history that deals with facts rather than emotions, this decision seems to me to often ignore how basically evil the events being described were. The second complaint is with the uninspired reading by Sean Pratt. Most of the reading is monotone and, even more annoying, his reading contains pauses in the middle of sentences which have no contextual meaning and serve only to break-up the logical flow of thought.
But these are minor concerns. I am waiting for Audible to add the next volume of this history.
"Great book, annoying narrator"
This is a thorough and well-organized history of late Weimar Republic Germany. There are many disturbing similarities to 2010 America.
My only gripe would be the narrator, who often pauses mid-sentence (not at a comma) and reminds one of a high school student. He mispronounces even some common words. To top it off, he narrates with a sarcastic tone which makes his mediocre reading ability even more annoying. BTW, you won't notice these things in your "sample listening." It will take you about an hour of listening for him to really begin getting on your nerves.
"A Clear View of Terror"
Over the years, I have fancied myself as an amateur expert on WWII and the Third Reich. This tome proved their is so much to learn. This is the first volume that places the Third Reich in and time and space continuum, where factors inside and out of Germany molded the future of the country. A closer look at Bismarck, the effects of WWI on the natinal psyche, the perceived failings of the Weimar Republic, the distressed world-wide economy, inherent German conservatism and nationalism, communist aggitation and latent anti-semitism conspired to make the Thrid Reich.
Read this book and you will understand how a minority party utilizing terror, scape-goatism and an emotional, not intellectual,appeal led Hitler to legal/consitutional power.
Life is breathed into the main characters, deflecting the grainy photos and memories from the past. Some were complex, some were simple and some were conflcited as the played part in this tragic play. The Third Reich was not inevitable, because early on courageous people and forces could have taken a stand against evil and turned the Riech into a historical footnote.
Listen to this story, it is a clear, lively and informative narrative
"Great book, terrible narration"
This production of Richard Evans great book is seriously hobbled by poor narration. Odd pauses and hesitations totally pull you out of the narrative. The text itself is excellent. If you are interested in this topic, Defying Hitler is a great memoir with a wonderful narrator.
Painter, musician, bibliophile...
"Worth it, despite the narrator"
Having studied the Weimar era extensively, I am thrilled that this book is available! Much of what is discussed here was, at one time, only available in German, as I know only too well from my own years of research. It is an outstanding book in every way, and I would recommend it to anyone, from those who have researched the era to those who are new to it. Yes, the narrator is abyssmal, but I have heard worse. Perhaps the trilogy will become a classic and we will have better narrators in the future. Until then, try to put up with Pratt or read the print edition because there are invaluable and relevant insights and historical lessons for us all in this series.
"Very Pleased This is Available"
I am very pleased the Richard Evans Reich trilogy is available (pt 3 TBA). I am not so keen on the reader. Too many pauses in mid sentence. When he lands a full sentence without a pause it flows so much better. And there are some glaring pronunciation errors (Leon Trossky, etc). Still, to have this on audio is great.
"An important book dreadful narration"
This book is the first of a trilogy explaining how the Nazis gained power in Germany. It is an important, well written and accessible book. Unfortunately the alleged narrator (and I use that term lightly) manages to ruin it. He stumbles from word to word as though completely unaware that they are in any way connected to one another in things which we call 'sentences'. He manages to pause in all the wrong places as he drones his way through the book, systematically reducing it from fascinating information to monotonous drivel. Whatever this person does professionally he should return to it. Poor Richard Evans. Great writing, preposterous narration. The four stars go to the book with minus five black holes to the 'narrator'.
"Enjoyable listen"
Good book to get a feel for how Germany devolved into the tyranny of Hitler's dictatorship. I wish it would have delved more into the personal lives of those involved. Why did the Jews not revolt, stand up and not take it? It does go into how rights were steadily laken away. But it stops well before WWII. Understandable since it is titled "The Coming of the 3rd Reich". All in all a good read.
"Awesome historical synthesis, terrible narration"
Evans not only has encyclopedic knowledge of his subject, but also the ability to weave it all together into a compelling narrative. Too bad they couldn't find someone to narrate it compellingly. The lackluster reading came close to killing this book as an audio experience. Where are the Patrick Tulls of the 21st century?

Analyzing a Malfunctioning Clarifier with COMSOL's Mixture Model
A. de Niet, A. van Nieuwenhuijzen, and A. Geilvoet
Witteveen+Bos, Deventer, The Netherlands
Clarifiers are used to separate sludge and water in waste water treatment plants. In this paper we analyze a malfunctioning clarifier using the mixture model. We are able to receive model results that are reasonably close to measurements from the real clarifier. With the model we can explain the bad separation of water and sludge in the clarifier. Engineers have proposed several actions in order ...

Modeling Bioclogging Effects in Constructed Wetlands for Wastewater Treatment - new
R. Samso[1], N. Forquet[2], P. Molle[2], J. Garcia[1]
[1]Department of Hydraulic, Maritime and Environmental Engineering, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya-BarcelonaTech, Barcelona, Spain
[2]IRSTEA, Freshwater Systems, Ecology and Pollution Research Unit, Villeurbanne, France
Horizontal-Flow Constructed Wetlands (HFCWs) are a particular type of biofilter, and as such they rely mostly on the activity of bacterial communities to treat wastewater. Bacterial growth in HFCWs induces dramatic changes in its hydraulic and hydrodynamic behaviour (bioclogging), which may eventually result in overland flow of wastewater. Consequently, clogging is the main cause of premature ...

In normal kernels this randomization is only done in versions 2.6.11 and later, for which SBCL implements a workaround. But the kernel on that machine seems to be a Red Hat kernel, which had that feature enabled even in earlier releases. Try running sbcl as "setarch i386 sbcl" or "setarch i386 -R sbcl" (depending on how old that RHEL installation really is). -- Juho Snellman

Hey experienced HG moms, I am 26 weeks and am starting to think I might be nauseous my whole pregnancy. For those of you who were sick the whole time, did the nausea last during the labour and delivery? at what point did it stop? after the placenta was delivered? When did the excess saliva go away? I have major problems with this.
Were there any of you who felt better in the third trimester? Did the excess saliva go away?

A man involved in a March wreck with a firetruck has asked the city to reimburse him for his losses.
Instead, the city attorney's office sent him a bill for $70,000.
On March 16, an Amarillo Fire Department truck was headed south on Western Street in response to a stabbing report. The firetruck collided with a Ford extended-cab pickup driven by Bradley Van Huss in the intersection of Southwest 45th Avenue.
The impact caused the firetruck to hit the traffic light on the southwest corner of the intersection, according to the Amarillo Police Department report.
Van Huss sent a letter to the city manager in late March asking to be paid for his truck, medical care including chiropractic care, emergency room visits and future medical tests, increases to insurance premiums, attorney fees, court costs and applicable taxes.
"I am not in this for the money," Van Huss wrote. "Most lawsuits end up in millions of dollars. I don't want a lawsuit. I just want compensation for my losses. But, I will proceed to a court action if need be."
Kyle Thomas, assistant city attorney, wrote to Van Huss refusing to pay the claim.
"Such property damage and injuries are a proximate result of your negligence and/or gross negligence in failing to yield the right-of-way to an emergency vehicle and entering the intersection unsafely," Thomas wrote.
One firefighter broke his wrist and the firetruck driver bruised his shoulder. Two other firefighters were injured and used home remedies, City Attorney Marcus Norris said.
Thomas' letter asks Van Huss to pay the $70,000 for medical expenses and damages to the firetruck and traffic signal.
"I neither saw nor heard the vehicle until we met at the intersection," Van Huss wrote to the city. "I know that the heavy traffic and large buildings contributed to my not hearing or seeing the firetruck. I also believe if the firetruck had slowed enough to clear the intersection the accident would not have happened."
From what the firetruck driver could tell, the intersection was clear, Norris said. City officials originally debated whether to ask Van Huss to reimburse the city for expenses that occurred as a result of the wreck.
"It probably would have came sooner or later," Norris said about the city's letter asking for compensation. "He already fired off his letter, and we made the decision to respond as we did."
Neither Van Huss nor Norris said what steps they would take next if they do not get paid.
"I don't know what's next," Van Huss said. "I know it's going to be a drawn-out process, but I wasn't expecting it to be at this magnitude. Right now I don't know where I stand. I turn around and they're slinging mud at me with rocks in it."

Once a person has decided to purchase a house, which in itself is a major decision, there are various things that the person has to do. The first step is to identify a good mortgage lending company that will help to finance your dream. You should do adequate research on the company so that you will be able to benefit from it. This is because adequate research on the company will help you to make sure that it is a good company. The next thing that you will benefit from is the fact that good companies usually offer their best mortgage at a much competitive rate than companies that are trying to take your money.
There are different mortgage rates offered by various companies. The best mortgage rates that will work for you depends on your need and your financial situation. The two major types of mortgage rates that are offered by companies are the floating interest rate and the fixed interest rate for the mortgage loan that you have taken.
The decision of the individual in the type of loan that is going to be opted for is a very important one. This is because a wrong type of rate for the mortgage can make you lose thousands of dollars. The floating interest rate or mortgage rate that is adjustable is one in which the interest can vary as the economic situation changes. At the same time, the fixed interest rate as the name indicates is one that will not change even in any kind of economy and from the beginning to the end of the payment, the individual will have to pay a similar amount of money as repayment for the mortgage.
The individual has to decide which the best mortgage rate is for him on the long run based on factors like the repayment capacity, financial planning and many other factors. For a person who is on a regular salary, the fixed rate mortgage would be the best mortgage rate because they will be able to plan their finances based on the regular income and the repayment will also not be affected.
At the same time, for a person who is not on a regular salary, it may be best to take a rate mortgage that can be adjusted, especially if the person might have sudden inflows of cash from some business deal. This is because the person may be able to pay some money at one time if the company providing the mortgage allows it without a pre payment penalty. Also, people who are knowledgeable about the economy will benefit from an adjustable rate mortgage as they will be able to predict the economic scenario better and may benefit from this type of rate.
Finding the best mortgage company may be easier for a person than it is for the person to decide on the best mortgage rate that will work for them. Adequate research on the various types of rates and their merits and demerits are very important before the individual decides on the type of interest rate for their mortgage.

Where the Wild African Violets Are
By MARY SODERSTROM
Published: November 3, 2002
ON the moss-covered rock face in front of me, three small blue-violet flowers pushed out of a rosette of velvet green leaves. There they were, finally: wild African violets, lovely examples of the ancestors of one of the world's most popular houseplants. They grow naturally only in the coastal mountains and forests of East Africa, and I'd come a long way to see them.
''They aren't in bloom all the time,'' my guide, Abduel, was saying. ''Some people make special trips here, and never see the flowers. You are a lucky lady, Mama.''
For years I've struggled to keep at least one African violet in bloom through Montreal winters, but it wasn't until I started working on a novel about a Canadian politician and his Québécoise wife who is passionate about African violets that I began to wonder about the pretty little flower's origins. In French one of its names is la violette d'Usambara, and initially I thought it referred to Usumbura, now Bujumbura, the capital of Burundi. But further reading revealed that the flowers originally came from the East Usambara Mountains of Tanzania. Their story intrigued me, and when I got a chance to go to Africa last October I decided to check them out. I first took a flight to Dar es Salaam from Nairobi, and left the next morning by bus for Tanga, 200 miles north on the Indian Ocean coast.
Tanga is the nearest good-sized town to the Amani Nature Reserve, a 20,000-acre preserve in the East Usambaras, home to eight wild African violet species.
Two of them, S. confusa and S. ionantha, are thought to be the ones from which the plants you find in any florist have been bred. (The one I saw in bloom there was probably S. confusa.) Even though the wild plants usually have only blue or violet flowers, the species are so marvelously rich in genetic variations that plant breeders have been able to tease out white, pink, dark blue, mauve, red-violet and green varieties.
In the past there was a rail connection not far from Tanga, but today only freight trains use the stretch of rail. Scheduled airlines don't stop at the town either. Unless I wanted to rent a four-wheel-drive vehicle with driver, I was going to have to take buses. Not a good thing, several people warned me: buses weren't the sort of transport someone like me -- white, female and 58 -- should take by herself.
However, my contacts in Tanga and Amani assumed that I'd take the bus, and recommended the Raha Leo line. O.K., I thought; let's try it, I haven't come all this way to be timorous.
''No problem,'' the taxi driver in Dar es Salaam said when I gave him the address of the bus terminal. As soon as we drove through its gates, though, shills descended on us, shouting in Kiswahili. The driver exchanged a few words with them, then began to roll up the windows of the cab.
''What's happening?'' I asked, in mounting panic.
''They say that the Raha Leo bus left at 8:30, and the next one won't go until afternoon,'' the taxi driver began.
''But,'' said a man with his head and shoulders through the back window just inches from me, ''there is another bus which leaves in half an hour, just as good a bus.''
I looked beseechingly at the driver. ''Do you think it would be all right?''
''Yes,'' he said. ''Probably,'' he qualified. And after carefully locking the taxi, he took my suitcase over to the bus, made sure it was stowed in the luggage compartment, and saw that I boarded.
Inside, to my surprise, I found goodnatured courtesy. The bus was the size of a North American intercity bus, but with red-flocked velvet wallpaper. All the seats already appeared to be taken by people dressed for a special occasion, but the conductor immediately shooed a young man from one so I could sit near the front. After two people made sure I found my way to the (quite clean) restrooms when we made a rest stop halfway through the four-and-a-half-hour bus trip, I began to think that traveling in Africa when you're a certain age has its advantages: you get respect you don't find in North America.
October is the start of the short rainy season in East Africa, and it was drizzling when the bus set out. As the road turned inland, the rain stopped. Clouds hugged the earth, as did smoke from fires set by farmers to prepare the soil for the next crop. In places banana palms were scorched where the flames had spread more quickly than a farmer wished. In others women were already at work with hoelike mattocks, getting ready to plant the small patches of land when the rains came in earnest.
In the distance were the East Usambara Mountains, which catch moisture-laden breezes from the Indian Ocean. Lush forests are a result, abounding in a rich variety of plants and animals. The Eastern Arc mountain forests, of which the East Usambaras are a part, were recently named as one of the world's biodiversity ''hot spots.''
The mountains were densely forested until the beginning of the 20th century when Tanganyika became the centerpiece of German colonial aspirations in Africa. The Germans, along with the British, systematically exploited the forests, but also established a botanical garden at Amani, experimenting with plants from all over the world. The scientific name of African violets -- Saintpaulia -- reflects this German colonial past. Baron Walter von Saint Paul Illaire found the plants in 1892, when he was commissioner of Tanga province. He sent seeds back to his father, an amateur botanist, in Germany, and within 10 years African violets had become a horticultural sensation throughout Europe.

AL ASAD AIR BASE, Iraq - The United States may be able to reduce its troop levels in Iraq after the January elections if security is strengthened and Iraqi government forces continue to expand and improve, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said Sunday.
In a question-and-answer session with hundreds of Marines assembled in a concrete-line aircraft hangar at this desert air base in western Iraq, Rumsfeld was asked what the future holds for the length and frequency of troop deployments in the country.
Rumsfeld, on his first visit to Iraq since its interim government was installed in June, said the insurgent violence is likely to get worse in the weeks ahead, so troop reductions are almost out of the question. The United States now has about 135,000 troops in Iraq.
"Our hope is that as we build up Iraqi forces, we will be able to relieve the stress on our forces and see a reduction in coalition forces over some period of time, probably post-Iraqi elections," the Pentagon chief said. "But again, it will depend entirely on the security situation here in this country."
Later, Rumsfeld flew to the northern city Kirkuk where he received a briefing from the top commander in that area, Maj. Gen. John Batiste, and other American officers, who told him that insurgent attacks had decreased in number since July. They also said that U.S-trained Iraqi forces in the Kirkuk area were improving so quickly that they recently were able to plan and execute offensive operations on their own, with U.S. officers present only as observers.
Rumsfeld had dinner with South Korean soldiers, members of Zaytun Division, who began arriving in Iraq last month to provide combat and support troops in the area around the city of Irbil, west of Kirkuk.
Before Rumsfeld appeared at the main operating base of the 3rd Marine Air Wing, the approximately 1,500 Marines in his audience were give instructions by Sgt. Maj. Dennis Reed on what not to ask.
"Don't ask when you're going home. We'll tell you when you're going home," Reed said.
Rumsfeld then gave a pep talk and fielded questions at a town hall style meeting.
"We're so fortunate to be able to count on you in this time of peril," Rumsfeld said to applause.
The secretary then flew to Baghdad and met with U.S. Ambassador John Negroponte, Gen. George Casey, the top American commander in Iraq, and Lt. Gen. David Petraeus, who is in charge of training and equipping Iraqi security forces.
Accompanying Rumsfeld on the flight in a Black Hawk helicopter was Hazem Shaalan, Iraq's interim defense minister.
As a reminder of the tenuous security situation in the Iraq capital, the fleet of Black Hawks carrying Rumsfeld and his entourage flew at high speed, just above rooftop level, occasionally zigzagging en route to the International Zone where the U.S. Embassy is located.
In a brief exchange with reporters after the Baghdad meeting, Rumsfeld grew agitated by questions about the possibility of needing to bring in extra American troops before Iraq's scheduled elections.
"There's a fixation on that subject!" he said with exasperation. "It's fascinating how everyone is locked on that."
He asserted that the news media and others are ignoring the fact that the number of U.S.-trained Iraqi security forces is growing - standing now at about 100,000 - and that they are fighting and dying.
"They do exist. Over 700 of them have been killed," Rumsfeld said.

Chikuma (千曲市 Chikuma-shi?) is a city located in Nagano Prefecture, Japan.
As of June 1, 2006, the city has an estimated population of 63,829 and a population density of 530 persons per km². The total area is 119.84 km².
Chikuma City is located in the valley of the Chikuma River, south of Nagano City, at the junction of the Joshin-etsu Expressway and the Nagano Expressway. Its most famous attraction is Anzu no Sato (杏の里), or "Apricot Village", a collection of adjacent valleys containing numerous groves of apricot trees. It is also the location of the Mori Shogunzuka Burial Chamber (森将軍塚古墳), a mountaintop keyhole tomb dating from near the end of the Kofun period. In the southern part of the city is Togura Kamiyamada Onsen (戸倉上山田温泉), a popular hot spring area.
Municipal timeline[edit]
The modern city of Chikuma was founded on September 1, 2003 by the merger of the former city of Koshoku, the town of Kamiyamada (from Sarashina District), and the town of Togura (from Hanishina District).
Former city of Koshoku[edit]
Koshoku (更埴) is the largest of the three municipalities that were joined to form the current Chikuma City. Spanning the Chikuma River and bordering Nagano City to the south, it entends from the apricot fields of Anzu no Sato in the east to the highland area Hijiri Kogen in the west.
Koshoku's history dates back to the Kofun Period, and several major archaeological sites remain, most notably the Mori Shogunzuka Burial Chamber (森将軍塚古墳). Later, in the Meiji Period, the inns located in Inariyama became a popular stopover for pilgrims en route to Zenkoji Temple in Nagano City.
Former town of Kamiyamada[edit]
Kamiyamada (上山田) lies on the western bank of the Chikuma River, just north of the town of Sakaki. A popular hot spring village dating back to the 19th century, the town was one of many places of lodging on the pilgrimage route to Zenkoji Temple in Nagano City.
Former town of Togura[edit]
Togura lies on the east bank of the Chikuma River, across from Kamiyamada Onsen. With a history similar to that of Kamiyamada, it contains some hot spring bath facilities as well as the area's only railway station.

AZDEBRA 5/27 & crewParticipant
I don't know the answer but someone should come on that may possibly know. Due to the time it is now, it may be a few hours.17 August, 2011 at 10:01 am #685189
its okay azdebra . i'll just wait. thankyou for your concern 😉17 August, 2011 at 11:06 am #685190
A hard tum is not good, kittens usually have bulgy tums that are rounder after eating but it shouldn't be hard. It could be colic from overeating or a bacterial infection. I would ring your vet and ask whether s/he thinks you should bring Ashley in.17 August, 2011 at 11:14 am #685191
now she poops and her tummy just went to normal i think its not tht hard anymore. maybe the feeding of the milk was too much i think. hiw many times can i feed my cat milk? is it once a day or twice? im thinking now to stop giveing her milk i think thats where the problem started. what do you think?17 August, 2011 at 11:29 am #685192
Well, if it's normal now, then that's good. She probably just did overeat. The goats milk may be a bit rich for her, I wouldn't give it to her more than once a day and only a smallish amount, especially if you're mixing it in with her wet food. But it may just be that she ate too much of everything!17 August, 2011 at 11:37 am #685193
and now she's sleeping since its night here in the philippines (7:41pm) hmm. but, when she walks she's like a drunk man. is that okay?or is it normal? do you think her tummy is in stress until now? do i need to give her a rub in the belly with a hot towel?? do you think it would help? hmm. do i need to feed her the next 24 hours or the next hours? or do i need to leave a dry food?? ;( im just so worried about my baby sorry for the questions ;(17 August, 2011 at 11:45 am #685194
Don't apologise for asking questions, AP, we're happy to help if we can (but bear in mind we are not vets) :D.
No, if she's two months old, and she doesn't normally walk like a drunk man, then it's not normal, she should be walking and jumping and balancing pretty well by two months. Again, if you're worried, ring your vet. I don't think I'd rub her in the belly with a hot towel, especially if it's hot over there. But you could massage her tummy gently with your fingers. I would feed her as normal in the next 24 hours, 2 or 3 small meals a day, if you leave dry food out for her be sure she also always has access to fresh clean water, 24 hours a day (dry food can be dehydrating), especially if it's hot weather.17 August, 2011 at 11:51 am #685195
do you think its a wise decision if i stop giving her milk?17 August, 2011 at 11:57 am #685196
You could stop giving it to her for a few days and see if that stops the colic. On the whole, though, goats' milk is good for cats and she obviously likes it. I would tend to try cutting out the dry food first, though.17 August, 2011 at 12:04 pm #685197

goats milk is okay.17 August, 2011 at 12:35 pm #685201
Cows' milk is bad for cats, DC, because they can't digest it, though it often gives them diarrhoea rather than constipation. Goats milk (and sheeps milk) is more easily digested by cats and kittens and in countries where they can't get hold of kitten milk replacement, they can often get hold of goats' milk instead, to bring kittens up on. Goats' milk is also a great treat for adult cats (you can get canned goats' milk in the baking aisle at Walmart). I wouldn't give it to adult cats a lot though unless a vet advised it.
