Irony alert: MRA who cannot master simple punctuation attacks black women as "ignorant."
Do you like your Men's Rights activism plain, or with a side order of racist bullshit? Regular readers of Man Boobz will remember Christian J, the man behind the blog What Men Are Saying About Women, a self-described "Male Renaissance Agitator" and inventor of the MRA two-dot ellipses. (Heck, I wrote about him just the other day.)
Well, now he's really outdone himself with a foul racist tirade directed at what he calls "one of my favourite loathe subjects and that is 'Black Women'."
Christian's excuse for this tirade is a video he found of a white woman complaining about a black woman who was rude to her at a restaurant. According to him, the video addresses the following "issues."
1. Black women generally suck..
2. Black Women are so full of themselves..
3. Black Women have major issues cause they can't get no man..
4. Black Women are "strong" in their own mind, make that "stupid" and "Ignorant". as well..
5. Black Women lack the basic social graces and also basic sanitary habits..
To this he adds:
Black females have wallowed in and adopted the feminist's hate doctrine as statistics have already demonstrated, single mothers stands at 70% and similar divorce stats. also demonstrates that they are incapable of keeping in a relationship, whatever excuse they justify in their own minds. They are to be avoided at all costs as any black man/dude/bro will testify..
Having read all this, I expected the video to be some sort of White Power rant. It's nothing of the sort. While the videomaker, a sort of wannabe Pamela Anderson, makes a few problematic and arguably racist comments here and there, she doesn't actually make any of the sweeping racist generalizations about black women that Christian attributes to her. Nope. That's all him.

I'm of Irish decent, and I got nice and drunk last night, too.
"I have better things to do than be ms.represented by a she-demagogue who is a feminist first, and an anachist or a libertarian last, if at all!"
*dies laughing*
Oh, Meller, you go tell all the dollies and white supremacist what a bad fake libertarian you beat on the internet. I'll go have a birthday party with my family and then organize some real-world libertarian stuff.
All I have to say is that DKM is one of the very few people whose posts regularly cause me to do the Futurama Fry involuntary eye squint meme thing, specifically:
Thank you, DKM. If it weren't for you, I might not have realized that I could come across opinions so nonsensical as to cause my brain to momentarily short out, a la Fry, and require a second go-around. As with Fry, I remain unsure of the answer to that question.
Hmph, imagine a line break in between TROLLING and OR.
Zhinxi, there are quite a few "white supremacists" who are both more consistant and more knowledgable libertarians than you have shown yourself to be. For all of your venom directed against what I have said on manboobz, you can't cite ONE case where I have argued for, or pushed for coercion in any form, whether with "houses of entertainment", police and courts–no, Pecunium, they are not, and could not be, "hired bully boys", they are all well-paid, prestigeous, multidisciplinary experts in conflict resolution. They are selling their EXPERTISE in a free market environment, and their income, as well as the integrity of their 'brand name' depends upon how well they avoid the use or threat of force, except as a last resort–insurance services, defence services, a part, but only a small part, of conflict resolution/arbitration that makes up a market based, as opposed to a government monopoly, provision of police, army, or courts, that defaces our current types of society.
How would they be funded? The same way that the provider of ANY goods or services would be "funded" in a laissez-faire, private property based society! Gone shopping lately?
girlygiggles xD–I never said that I was an "expert" in libertarianism! I introduced myself (and liberty) to these pages, and to you manboobzettes, as one who was basically nonpolitical (which I am), and as an admirer of libertarian thinkers, e.g. Murray Rothbard, Ludwig von Mises, Thomas Szasz. et al… which I also am. I am also a resolute supporter of gold as money, which is a sine qua non for devotion to peace, liberty, and prosperity, and you, zhinxi, are the first–and ONLY–libertarian whom I have met anywhere (if you are even one) who is not singlemindedly and wholeheartedly pro-gold 100%! I also have come out for peace, civil liberties, and INDIVIDUAL rights whenever I could. Maybe you think it is "racist" to deny "black rights" or "sexist" to deny "womensrights", as not existing at all, but it is the most libertarian application of rights theory (and one endorsed by our friend Rothbard), as you would easily know if you had ever read ANYTHING he had written on the subject!
Girlygiggles xD, I hate to "burst your bubble", but your friend zhinxi, whether I spell her name correctly or not, is either no libertarian at all, or one who is in no position to comment upon another's supposed ignorance of the subject. If I have been reluctant to point this out before, it is precisely because I have more important things to do, then to defend what shouldn't have to be defended.
I could go on, but I think that I have made my point. I would put my libertarian
That last Meller comment cuts off rather suddenly. Did Evan make a break for freedom?
It's not as if Mellertron had even mentioned "Candlejack" or someth
He had to run or he'd be late for a cross burning.
The guy who directly advocates forced prostitution introduced freedom? That is not freedom by any definition in the real world.
omigod is dkm trying to play tough guy? that is fucking precious.
dkm i will take your intellectual bona fides more seriously when you discover a topic you can discuss without waxing florid like a lovestruck teenager. which is to say never.
dkm discovers thee are other strains of libertarianism besides incoherent white male rage, cannot handle this fact, blames everyone else. exactly no one is surprised.
Meller: Since you don't really read the responses you get (at least not more than seeing the words, content and context being something you refuse to pay any attention to), let me sum up the substance of your comments.
They have none, you are full of shit, which you pretend is meaningful in some way.
If even a small percentage, So… it's not true, only a few people do it, but we can treat all the rest as if they are evil in that way. It's not racist, it's true.
Again, you are full of shit.
But you don't like it that people who share your opinions are racist. You don't want people to say mean things about you. YOU have the power to prevent it.
Stop being a racist.
I realise this is sort of like telling you to stop hating women. You like being a racist. You like hating women. You just dislike that people point out you are a racist who hates women.
Sucks to be you.
Again, the power to prevent people from pillorying you is in you hands.
Stop being a racist who hates women.
Meller: One could argue the Irish didn't change, but the English (and the Americans descended from them) were finally, like a puppy who shits on the rug, forced to see they were wrong.
Sort of like racists today need to grow up and see they were wrong.
The last point which I shall make here is that NOWHERE have I said that Africans were "inferior", not on manboobz, and not anywhere else.
Bullshit. You have been careful to make it deniable… you are just talking about, "how 'those people' behave", but you say they are not as well-mannered as "us", you say the stereotypes are true (even if only a few of, "those people" are actually like that), and then you pretend that because you didn't use words like, "welfare cheat" or "n*****", you didn't say they were inferior.
Once again you lack the courage of your convictions. You think people who aren't white are beneath you. You have repeatedly said that if white people don't get to run the world it will go to shit.
But you don't want us to think you look down on these people who aren't as, "evolved" as you, and your fellow white men (because you don't think women; except the rare mutant is ever smarter than a 12 year old boy).
You Are A Racist.
So go with being a misogynist, of the sort who hates women, as well as looks down on them as sub-human.
Zhinxi, there are quite a few "white supremacists" who are both more consistant and more knowledgable libertarians than you have shown yourself to be. For all of your venom directed against what I have said on manboobz, you can't cite ONE case where I have argued for, or pushed for coercion in any form, whether with "houses of entertainment", police and courts–no, Pecunium, they are not, and could not be, "hired bully boys", they are all well-paid, prestigeous, multidisciplinary experts in conflict resolution.
Certified by whom? In what disciplines? Overseen by whom?
Who shall make anyone accept their decisions?
When you say, "handed over", that means the thing handed over is property. You have said (more than once) that women would be, "handed over". You also say that women might be, "allowed" to get an education.
Those are both terms that have, at their core, coercion. One who is not constrained (that is, compelled, that is coerced) is not in need of being, "allowed" to do anything.
You live in a fantasy land of Jargon and dreams, fueled by J. Neil Smith novels and dreams of being in charge of your life, responsible to none but those you choose to be, and free of all those women, and people of color who remind you that you aren't a king, nor a Tarnsman.
Oh no and woe, Lord Meller would put his libertarian…
Where? Oh god, where? Where are you putting your libertarian!
Meller, you do know that everything on this site is archived, and we can go back, and everything I said and you said is still there? I can see you obviously attempting to rewrite history with the claim I never gave you anything but "No a few suggestions of recently publsihed works on her part citing her "libertarian feminuttery", a kind of merger between standard feminism and libertarian thought doesn't count as a discussion of anything, least of all when they are offered, not for purposes of knowledge-sharing, but simply to score debating points against me!"
Errr… Yeah. Okay there, Meller.
For the last time, I'm for polycentric law, but your version of such is incoherent, I agree with the basic thesis of Egalitarianism as a Revolt Against Nature, but argue that a Libertarian conception of equality is deeper and richer and MORE egalitarian than such, and I have nothing against gold. I'm against a gold standard, just as I am against the Fed. Gold is fine money, other than the many ethics involved in its mining. And you must damn well be aware of Hayekians and Friedmanites out there. Not exactly gold-bugs. If you haven't MET any, well, that doesn't surprise me, you seem pretty isolated.
But you know, come on up here sometime, I'll invite a big bunch of libertarians, left right and center, serve cake, and give you free reign to explain about the Houses of Male Entertainment, that you have to think about giving women the right to contract, that you're PROBABLY not in favor of enslaving women outright, and what a crazy feminutter I am for criticizing the arranged marriages in Meller-land, and of course – HOW NONE OF THIS INVOLVES ANY FORCE AT ALL. and you see how it goes over.
All I claim, Meller, is that I'm involved with libertarianism. I'm nothing special, but I do know people and organize things and talk to people. I'm definitely on the far- lefty side of the spectrum, but I don't cause shrieking and hyperventilating. Except, of course, from you, Head Libertarian.
And you can't claim that, or you would. All you have is your dolls, and people on white supremacist and MRA sites. But as I've claimed, you're isolated there. Your connection with libertarianism outside of that is filtered through there. And you aren't particularly educated and coherent on any subject, from defense services on the free market to basic Austrian ec.
Meller is losing it as far as trolls go. He's getting to be a veritable EN, with drive-bys of boilerplate.

As 2008 is coming to a close, we look back and should be proud of what we witnessed. In the end, I think it was once again the year of the cell phone, particularly the iPhone. With the release of their 3G phone, GPS and their App Store, the iPhone took the Blue Ribbon by far, with Google' Android phone taking a distant 2nd place. We saw the takeoff of electric cars from Tesla, we saw Facebook taking the forefront in Social communication and we saw thousands more Web 2.0 websites hitting the dance floor.
I am only naming a few for 2008, because the real subject of my post is 2009. What are some of things we have to look forward to in 2009? Here are the Top 3 on my radar…
1. Where will the iPhone go next?…and What will the competitors bring?
There is no doubt that the iPhone is well on it's way to becoming easily the most popular smart phone on the planet. It's ease of use, it's feature rich environment, it's Microsoft Exchange sync ability, and it's incredible internet speeds, are making it the must have phone of 2009. Competitors such as the Blackberry Storm and Google G1 have hit the shelves with lukewarm reviews. From all indications, they aren't that much closer to the iPhone, as they are to a lame Windows Mobile phone. Of course the Nokia fanboys will probably argue, but I honestly think the App Store is the real killer here.
2009 will see the iPhone bring turn-by-turn directions, a larger landscape of 3G coverage, possibly 50,000 more apps and hopefully somehow, much longer battery life. Some expect a completely new phone to come out in 2009, but most do not. We'll likely see several different firmware releases over the course of the year, with many additional feature rich capabilities.
We will continue to see lackluster competitors show up in 2009. Google release their second version of Android, more providers will continue to pick-up their cellular phone operating system, but they still won't come close to the iPhone. The marketing, the look, the ease of use and the coverage will take the iPhone above and beyond its competitors. Unless Apple completely screws it up with one of their firmware releases, I don't see it faltering, anytime soon.
Long live the iPhone…
2. More streaming/VOD movies
The fact is, with the release of Netflix streaming capable devices, it won't be long before there are many online streaming competitors that release many different pieces of hardware with Blu-Ray and DVD capability as well. We are already seeing it with the XBOX 360 and Roku Player, and it won't be long before the PS3 has the same. I think at some point in the next five years, we may see ALL movies in streaming form. This will be the only fool proof way of protecting DVD piracy. We will continue to see boot-legged feature films from the theater, but those will never have the affect that DVD pirates, overseas and otherwise have on the industry.
I may be completely off on that, but there is no doubt that streaming movies are well on their way to becoming the best way of watching films.
3. HDTV slowly becomes SDTV
With the kill of over the air broadcast analog television in February 2009. Our definition of standard definition television is slowly becoming the black-and-white television of old. Soon we will begin to see all forms of television communication in high definition form. Commercials, news, cartoons, and of course sports will ALL be available in HDTV. High Definition will become our present day definition of Standard definition, and we'll vomit at the look of 'old school' television. Of course, the old version will still be readily available in all forms, due to lack of capability with older TVs, but I foresee every arena having some type of HD available in 2009.
Long Shot Honorable Mentions
The Death of Blu-Ray – Five Reasons why I think Blu-Ray is dieing
-The cost of the players
-The cost of the movies.
-The non-savy movie watcher, who just doesn't understand the difference.
-Streaming HD
-The picture difference between a standard DVD and Blu-Ray, is almost inconceivable.
I know it's a small list, and I know a lot doesn't regard the web, but these are three big items I foresee being huge topics in 2009.
What are yours?

The Showtime-televised rematch between RING No. 3-rated welterweight Victor Ortiz and RING No. 4 rated Andre Berto will happen on Feb. 11 at the MGM Grand, RingTV.com has learned.
The 28-year-old Berto (28-1, 22 knockouts) has vacated his IBF belt in favor of the shot at revenge against Ortiz (29-3-2, 22 KOs), who dethroned Berto as WBC titleholder by unanimous decision in April on HBO.
Berto had rebounded from his loss to Ortiz by dethroning Jan Zaveck as IBF titleholder by fifth-round knockout in September, stopping Zaveck for the first time in his career, also on HBO.
Ortiz, meanwhile, lost that WBC crown following a fourth-round knockout loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr., THE RING's No. 2-rated pound-for-pound boxer, in September on HBO Pay Per View.
Ortiz-Berto I took place on HBO, but Showtime purchased the Ortiz-Berto II for $2.25 million, trumping HBO's offer of $2.15 million.

Let's talk about this situation and see if we can't piece together a few factoids. First, waaay back at the beginning of this year, a mystery tablet started showing up - one made by Toshiba, having a 10.1-inch screen, and sporting what would become Android 3.0 Honeycomb (testers floating around had Froyo, of course.) Have a look at our big reveal post and continue on - does that look like a tablet that Google would officially endorse as the next step in their flagship series? That very much appears to be what may be happening now!
Our good pals at Metalev have a few clues gathered up that point directly at this device being the next in the Nexus series - Nexus T they're calling it, and with its NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor, prismatic lithium-ion battery, and 1280 x 800 resolution 16:10 aspect ratio adaptive display, its definitely not out of the question.
What's a prismatic battery? It's a big fat battery that has 3 times the life of a standard lithium ion batter in essentially the same package. Besides sounding fantastic, why is this relevant now? Because @googlenexus has a challenge going on with their Twitter followers and the answer to the puzzle on the 2nd of May was PRISMATIC. - this puzzle put together by metalev's Luke Hutchinson
@googlenexus' challenge ends right before Google I/O - perhaps some free tablets are in the works for the masses of developers attending?
This tablet has been up for preview at Best Buy for some time now, but without a name and without much branding to go with it. Have a look at the video here and see if you think it's possible that this is the next in line for Google's infamous pack of powerful bigtime blasters:

About the Book
The fall and rise of a heavy metal icon
Dave Mustaine is the first to admit that he's bottomed out a few times in his dark and twisted speed metal version of a Dickensian life.
Impoverished, transient childhood? Check.
Abusive, alcoholic parent? Check.
Mind-fucking religious weirdness (in his case the extremes of the Jehovah's Witnesses and Satanism)? Check.
Alcoholism, drug addiction, homelessness? Check, check, check.
Soul-crushing professional and artistic setbacks? Check.
Rehab? Check (seventeen times, give or take).
Near-death experience? Check that one, too.
James Hetfield, with whom many years ago Mustaine founded a band known as Metallica, once observed, with some incredulity, that Mustaine must have been born with a horseshoe up his ass. That's how lucky he's been, how fortunate he is to be pulling breath after so many close calls. And Hetfield is right. Mustaine has been lucky. He has been blessed. But here's the thing about having a horseshoe lodged in your rectum: It also hurts like hell. And you never forget it's there.
Mustaine has battled through it all to achieve dizzying heights. From the early, heady days of Metallica, being unceremoniously let go only to become a world-famous rock star—founder, front man, singer, songwriter, and guitarist (and de facto CEO) for Megadeth, one of the most popular bands in heavy metal—Mustaine's is a story that will inspire, stun, and terrify.

"A fascinating and sometimes eye-opening look at Mustaine the man as well as Mustaine the rock star... A must read for Megadeth fans, and highly recommended for metal fans in general." — About.com

|HylaFAX The world's most advanced open source fax server
Hi all, I picked up a USRobotics 5610 Serial modem and did a fresh install of CentOS 5.1 so that I may install Hylafax and AvantFax. I have confirmed that my modem is on /dev/ttyS0, and running the initial Hylafax setup, I was able to have Hylafax detect the best speed for my modem. I even re-ran 'faxmodem /dev/ttyS0' to make sure it still detected it. The problem I am having is not with Hylafax directly (at least I don't think so), but with AvantFax. Both Hylafax and Avantfax installed without any errors, but when I log into the Web GUI for Avantfax, at the top where it shows the modem, it says this: ttyS0 [Please wait] I know it's supposed to say OK or something in between the brackets, or IDLE or something, because when I had the Winmodem installed on this machine, even though the Winmodem wasn't fully working, it didn't say 'Please Wait' - in fact it said OK or IDLE (I forget which) in green letters. What can I do to make sure that my modem is correctly set up and Hylafax is using it? Again, I'm running this on CentOS 5.1 with a US Robotics 5610 hardware serial modem. If I need to supply other information, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Solutions for Chapter 8.3
Genetic engineering is the process of executing artificial, deliberate, and desirable modifications in the genetic material of an organism. The organism obtained is called as genetically modified organism [GMO].
Techniques of genetic engineering include the following:
• Recombinant DNA technology: It involves the transfer of a foreign gene [gene of another organism] into a recipient organism with or without the help of a vector [a carrier molecule]. The combination of genes from two different organisms gives rise to recombinant DNA.
• Gene amplification: It involves increasing the number of desirable genes in an organism to obtain a large amount of a desirable gene product. This can be done with the help of plasmids or bacteriophages.
• Protoplast fusion: It involves the fusion of protoplasts of two strains, species, or genera. The features of two organisms can be combined in a single hybrid cell.
• Genetic fusion: It involves the fusion of gene segments to alter their regulation. This can be used for lifting the control on the genes and carryout overproduction of the gene product.
• Cloning: It involves creating replicas of economically important living organisms to increase the productivity of products obtained from them.
Applications of genetic engineering include the following:
• Obtaining desirable, genetically modified organisms.
• Obtaining industrial products like vitamins, enzymes, acids, alcohols, and medical products like vaccines, antibiotics, hormones, diagnostic kits, and agriculture products like biopesticides and resistant plant varieties.
• For research into the genome structure and function.
• For gene therapy.
• For regulation of environment quality through bioremediation.
Though there are number of applications, genetic engineering is a two-edged sword. There are risks of unpredictable outcomes of genetic engineering experiments, like the emergence of new pathogens. Hence, the technique is carried out under strict regulations.

Ibérico de Bellota is the ultimate of its kind. Cured for over a year, this paleta (shoulder ham) comes from acorn-fed free range Ibérico pork, only found in Spain. The rich acorn diet and outdoor exercise marble the meat, for a succulent ham that melts in your mouth.
Ibérico de Bellota is the very finest ham in the world, and Cinco Jotas (5J) is known as the elite brand of Ibérico in Spain. In fact, the word Jabugo, the town made famous by 5J - Cinco Jotas, is now synonymous with top quality Ibérico ham.
5J - Cinco Jotas uses only 100% genetically pure bred Ibérico pigs that live their entire lives roaming the countryside of Spain. Other companies will cross breed Ibérico pigs with other breeds to increase the litter size and raw meat production. 5J - Cinco Jotas prefers to use only 100% pure Ibérico so they can ensure the finest quality.
The word 'bellota' literally means acorn, a key ingredient to the ultimate ham. If you see a paleta or jamón advertised as simply 'Ibérico', without the bellota designation, it is not free range and did not enjoy the sweet acorns of the 'dehesa' rangelands.
Paleta is the cured front shoulder ham. Because it is smaller, it cures much more quickly and has less time to age than a larger jamón (about a year, vs. two to four years for a ham). While the flavor is incredible, it is somewhat more challenging to carve than the jamón (back leg), and the zenith of flavor is a longer aged whole jamón.
The paletas come from an ancient breed of pig, Cerdo Ibérico, which has been roaming the woodland meadows of western Spain feeding on acorns for thousands of years. Each fall the breeders set aside a select group of juvenile pigs, allowing them to roam the dehesa woodlands for up to a year. There they feast upon acorns which are falling in abundance from the holm oak and cork trees. They gorge themselves, putting on at least two pounds of weight each day, until they are the picture of a happy fat pig!
The result is that the Paleta Ibérico de Bellota is marbled with rich golden fat full of the flavor of the Ibérico pigs' favorite food, 'bellota' acorns, along with wild herbs and grasses. Amazingly, a good portion of which is mono-unsaturated, similar to healthy olive oil. Sliced thinly, the meat glistens at room temperature and provides an unparalleled rich nutty flavor and tender texture.
Bone-in paletas weigh approximately 9-10 lbs.

While UK awash with solar power frenzy, why is London missing out?
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Environment and also in Housing
With UK awash with solar power frenzy, why is London missing out?
Though the amount of electricity generated through sunny means doubled in the UK over the last year, mega-rich London has the lowest uptake of solar panels of any region on the Britain mainland.
The shameful issue has so befuddled Green Party London Assembly Member Jenny Jones that she has been driven to publish 'London is ready for a brighter future' - a report which looks at the potential for solar power in the city, and some of the barriers it faces.
Jones' report recommends the formation of a dedicated City Hall team to help businesses, tenants and communities install solar panels on the empty roof tops of London's commercial and industrial businesses, supermarkets, flats, schools, transport and public buildings - apparently anywhere with a roof.
Jones' study reveals the following key facts:
• Only one in every 260 London homes has had solar panels installed - the South West has eight times the installation rate.
• London has the potential to supply a fifth of its electricity needs from sun-sourced energy.
• There are Wide variations in take up rates between London boroughs. Tiptop Waltham Forest has one solar PV installation for every 88 homes, while the slackers in neighbouring Enfield have one for every 362 homes.
Sun fan Jenny Jones AM said: "Given that solar photovoltaics have the greatest potential of any renewable electricity generating technology, it is astonishing that the Mayor is not promoting and helping London's residents, businesses, schools, communities to harvest solar electricity from their underused and empty roof tops.
"What Londoners deserve is an enthusiastic advocate of solar energy, a clean energy source that will not only cut our bills and our carbon emissions, but it will help address looming energy supply disruptions. What we don't need is a mayor fixed on promoting dirty 'fracking' wells around the country and all the inherent environmental hazards associated with them."

Summer/Fall 2000
Volume 5 Number 1
Literature and Scripture
The first place I was allowed to travel on my own was to the public library. My parents must have regarded that walk of five blocks as a safe little trip, although it turns out to have been a dangerous place after all. The library housed stories that would take me captive, characters who would inhabit my imagination, and ideas that would send me exploring in uncharted territory (as in the book on reincarnation the meddling librarian believed was inappropriate for a child).
My journeys these days take me further afield, but they still begin with the local library or the bookstore. On a study trip to Israel, I took along the prose of Amos Oz and the poetry of Yehuda Amichai for traveling companions. A meeting in South Africa introduced me to André Brink's Imaginings of Sand. Family vacations in Maine begin with the careful planning of the "book bag," which may contain the most recent from John Irving or Mary Gordon, as well as mysteries set in first-century Rome or nineteenth-century London.
What does any of this reading have to do with my vocation as a teacher of Scripture? Sometimes literature is sheer recreation, and I rejoice in that. The rich phrases of Arundhati Roy in The God of Small Things compensate for the impoverished language of scholarly monographs and commentaries. Trollope's characters—especially the clergy—enable me to laugh at the characters around me, myself first of all. The latest mystery by P. D. James offers the grace of temporary distraction from daily duties.
Yet recreation is not the whole story either. Flannery O'Connor's stories offend precisely because they fling grace at us in a manner that is both deeply consonant with the letters of Paul and seldom heard in churches that have successfully tamed him. Or Jeanette Haien's The All of It catches us in our judgmentalism, revivifying the sudden turns in the parables of Jesus. In other words, literature can improve our hearing of Scripture by re-presenting the Gospel in ways that slip under the defenses of our professionalism.
Literature can also sharpen our hearings by its depictions of human need. When Pecola Breedlove in Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye longs for blue eyes so that she will be thought beautiful, I ache for someone to introduce her to the table-fellowship of Jesus. And when Calvin Cohn, the central human character in Bernard Malamud's God's Grace, hears God's declaration of the consequences of human sin in terms that forcefully recall Romans 1, I long for Romans 8 to make its way into the story as well.
Such conversations can illumine and enliven the study of Scripture as well as that of literature. And for me both are occasions of grace.

NEW DELHI: A section of the Chhattisgarh government is coming around to the view that a judicial inquiry into the recent encounter with Maoists may be the best option to counter allegations that innocent tribals were killed.
The state government is already in touch with the Union home ministry in this regard, a senior official told ET. The official, who did not wish to be named, said a section within the government believes that ordering a suo motu judicial inquiry, possibly by a high court judge, would help pre-empt the setting up of an independent inquiry panel by courts. Such a panel could include rights activists too, the official added.

I listened all day to the testimony of Gen. David H. Petraeus and Ambassador, Ryan C. Crocker.
Did I mention before that I'm an old fart? Yep. 62-years old and my memory is still sharp as a tack. So yesterday I could say, with real authority, that I'd been there, done that – all of that – before.
And I'd heard all that before too. They were the rationalizations, self-deceptions and outright lies leaders retreat into when trying to avoid admitting that they got thousands of people killed, and are getting hundreds more killed each day, because they were wrong, and/or made a horrific mistake, and/or miscalculated, overreached.
When such men find themselves in that position their choices comes down to admitting they were wrong, thereby sentencing themselves to the harsh judgement of history, or to just continue letting people die so that "defeat" does not come on their watch.
Without further la de da from me, I give you my President of the United States (circa 1968) – who, as a member of the US Marines, was also my Commander-in-Chief – Lyndon B. Johnson:
Known and very popular cialis coupon which gives all the chance to receive a discount for a preparation which has to be available and exactly cialis coupons has been found in the distant room of this big house about which wood-grouses in the houses tell.
Feb 2, 1968 News Conference - In wake of Tet Offensive.What you just read should be familiar to you by now. It's the kind of rationalizations that kept us in Vietnam for another decade, a time when nearly 40,000 additional US troops would die.
Edited for length.(Full Transcript )
THE PRESIDENT: I do not believe when the American people know the facts, when the world knows the facts, and when the results are laid out for them to examine, I do not believe that they (the insurgent Viet Cong) will achieve a psychological victory. I do not want to be interpreted as unduly optimistic at all. I would rather wait and let the facts speak for themselves because there are many things that one far removed from the scene cannot anticipate. I can only say this: that based on the best military advice that I have, I feel confident that the men will give a good accounting of themselves.
Q: Mr. President, is it possible that these developments in Vietnam that you had outlined, plus the imminence of this major offensive, could lead to deployment of additional American combat troops in Vietnam?
THE PRESIDENT: ....I have not seen the requirement or the necessity, nor have the Joint Chiefs, of making any additional requests to the Congress at this time involving additional authority. It would be desirable, as it was last year, to have legislation a little more generous in one respect or two, or maybe more funds appropriated for military assistance that were reduced.
Q: Sir, do you see anything in the developments this week in these attacks in Vietnam that causes you to think you need to reevaluate some of the assumptions on which our policies, our strategy there has been based? I am thinking in terms of the security ratings, amount of population that is considered under Government control? Do you think the basic assumption is still valid?
THE PRESIDENT: We do that every week....We must do it all the time to try to keep up, and to be sure we have not made errors and mistakes...We see nothing that would require any change of great consequence. We will have to move men from this place to that one. We will have to replace helicopters. Probably we had 100-odd helicopters and planes seriously damaged and we will have to replace them.
Q: Mr. President, do you believe, sir, their winter-spring offensive and their call for an uprising and their attempt to impose a coalition government is based on their belief that they are taking military punishment that they cannot sustain for a long time? In short, sir, are we still winning the war?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I see nothing in the developments that would indicate that the evaluation that I have had of this situation throughout the month should be changed. I do think that the second phase is imminent. What we have expected is upon us. We have gone through the first phase of it. We will have to see what happens in the second phase. If it comes out as expected, I think I can give you a better answer to your question when it is over with. I do not want to prophesy what is going to happen, although we feel reasonably sure of our strength.
Q: Some people say: Well, that proves they know they are licked and this is their dying gasp. And some people say: Well, it proves that we underestimated their morale. How do you feel, sir?
THE PRESIDENT: I haven't read those reports about underestimating all their morale, and their being out of it, and no more problems, and so forth. We do think that we have made good progress there.
As I view history, I think that you have things of this type replete throughout. The fact that people's morale may be suffering and they may be having great difficulty doesn't keep them from breaking glass windows and shooting folks in a store or dashing into your home or trying to assassinate somebody. That goes with it. That is a part of the pattern.
Now whether they are doing this from a position of greater strength or greater weakness — I would say neither. I don't think that they are as weak as you picture them in your straw man that you place up there — that the Government has this feeling. I don't think we feel that way.
I think there are times when a few highly energetic and courageous people could seize the National Airport. But, could they hold it? Does it endure? Is it a victory? Do they pay more than it is worth and so on and so forth? Those are the things you have to evaluate.
Now, I am no great strategist and tactician. I know that you are not. But let us assume that the best figures we can have are from our responsible military commanders. They say 10,000 died and we lost 249 and the South Vietnamese lost 500. Now that doesn't look like a Communist victory. I can count. It looks like somebody has paid a very dear price for the temporary encouragement that some of our enemies had.
But General Westmoreland — evaluating this for us and the Joint Chiefs of Staff reviewing it for me — tell me that in their judgement it (the Tet offensive) has not been a military success.
Politicians dare not say it, but I will: those troops died for nothing. Nothing. George W. Bush keeps saying that history will vindicate this Iraq war. Well, history has completed its review of Johnson/Nixon's Vietnam policies, and concluded that they sent those men and women to their deaths for nothing.
(George W. Bush's own visit to Vietnam as a part of an Asian (all capitalism-all-the-time) economic summit is proof that all the warnings that, if we pulled out, one Asian nation after another would fall — like "dominos" — into communist hands.
President Bush Arrives in Vietnam for APEC Summit
NPR: November 17, 2006 · President Bush arrives in Vietnam, the second stop on a three-nation Asian tour that started in Singapore and takes him to Indonesia on Monday. Vietnam has one of the fastest growing economies in the world. The president is in the country to attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit with leaders from 21 nations. (Source)
Yes, they – some personal friends of mine – died for nothing in Vietnam.
And today they are dying once again — for nothing. N-o-t-h-i-n-g. And once again we are hearing the same rationalizations we heard 39 years ago.
On some level evolution is nature's I.Q. test. Species either adapt and learn from their mistakes, or they perish.
History is replete with evidence that the same goes for nations.

Hunt Oil Cuts Deal on Oil With Kurds
The Associated Press — Monday, September 10, 2007
VIENNA, Austria: An agreement announced this weekend between U.S.-based Hunt Oil Co. and the self-ruled Kurdish administration of northern Iraq to explore for oil is illegal, Iraq's oil minister Hussain al-Shahristani said Monday.
Those comments underscore the central government's view that exploration contracts with foreign companies should be signed only after the adoption of a new national oil law, which has been stalled for months.
"Any oil deal has no standing as far as the government of Iraq is concerned," al-Shahristani said as he arrived for an OPEC meeting in Vienna. "All these contracts have to be approved by the Federal Authority before they are legal. This (contract) was not presented for approval. It has no standing."
Hunt Oil, a privately held independent oil company, and the Kurdish regional government said Saturday they had signed a production-sharing contract for petroleum exploration in the Kurdistan region of northern Iraq. Terms were not disclosed.
Dallas, Texas-based Hunt declined to comment Monday.
The deal is one of several the Kurds have signed with foreign oil companies in the past few years and the first since they put their own oil law into effect in August.
These deals have angered Baghdad, but the Kurdish region appears determined to advance oil exploration in the three-province area they govern in northern Iraq, as Iraq's long-delayed federal oil law remains hobbled by disagreements — among others, about the control of revenues.
Despite Iraq's vast oil reserves, major international companies have sat on the sidelines, not only for security reasons but because of the absence of legislation governing the industry and offering protection for investments.

Steven Fletcher's first goals for Sunderland ended Swansea's 100% start to the Premier League season in a dramatic 2-2 draw marred by a serious ankle injury to Neil Taylor.
Fletcher started to repay his big-money fee following his move from Wolves as he struck twice in the first half, either side of Wayne Routledge's effort for Swansea.
Michu scored his fourth goal in three games for the hosts to level matters, but they then lost defender Chico Flores to a red card for a wild high challenge as the game ended all square. But prior to all that action, Taylor had already been carted off on a stretcher after his leg buckled awkwardly under him following a challenge with Craig Gardner.

Health Charity for Developing World Finds Work in U.S.
The Health Blog turned on "60 Minutes" about halfway through the program last night, hoping to catch a feature on the race between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama in Ohio. We were too late for the Dems (that one's here), but we did see another segment that was a powerful commentary on why those candidates are pushing the idea of universal health care so hard on the campaign trail.
The segment focused on Remote Area Medical, an American relief organization that provides free health care to parts of the world that need it most, including Swaziland and Guyana. But these days, RAM does lots of work in the U.S., providing health care to the uninsured and the under-insured.
RAM recently set up a huge clinic for a weekend in Knoxville, Tenn., where 276 medical volunteers offered free eye exams, dental care and other tests and treatment to those who showed up. And they sure showed up — some camping out so they'd be sure to get care.
One patient was a truck driver who drove 200 miles and slept in the parking lot for hours before the clinic opened; he got an infected tooth extracted. Another was a 28-year-old who'd had surgery for cervical cancer in 2005, but had only one pap smear since, despite the recommendation she get one every six months.
In all, RAM had time to see 920 patients over that weekend. It made 500 pairs of glasses, did 94 mammograms, extracted 1,066 teeth and did 567 fillings. Even so, four hundred people were turned away.

Andy C on his way back to Anfield ?
Hobs Colyn...what have u lads got against the lad ?...my feeling all along is that there was some bad blood between BR and the lad...what the hell else are we going to get for 10 mill or so he represents a plan B that we dont currently have that could in my estimation be worth at least 12pts come end of season...whats wrong with that ? He has to be worth another go round hes a professional and can play any system hes required to play and if he can get on the end of some of Downings crosses ( Nobody else seems able to ) he could be worth far more come end of season than 12pts.Another loan to save on his wages...nuts ! In the end he will become another complete financial disaster for the club like the Aquilani deal. End of last season the lad was playing well turned Terry inside out and upside down damn nearly won us the FA CUP with his "goal" played marvellously for England in ENC Who can forget his goal v Sweden ? What about the damage that he did to UniTURD putting himself about in the box who else have we got can do that ? Why do u think its impossible for BR to bury the hatchet and welcome him back ? Hell we are paying Sterling 40k a week and he cant even sit on the bench...dont notice u complaining about that Id rather sell Sterling on and welcome Andy back ...that way for all u amateur accountants out there the books balance maybe even a bit in the black on such a situation.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Whilst I believe every team, needs a plan B. As the season has progressed Andy will be lucky to be plan D. We already have two strong formations that are evident. I am sure with analysis, there are other variants employed too. Not that I am against Andy Carroll at all. With you I remember towards end of season 11-12, that finally things were looking promising in terms of his form and fitness.
What ever has happened at the club. BR has said you can not have a £35m player on the bench. We will have the spiel that the "lad needs to be playing week in, week out"
You have it wrong if you think I have a problem with Big Andy, ask Jason etc, I always come to the lads defence. As I have said all along, he never asked to cost £35m, if he was just a lad from the academy it would never be an issue and he would have been on the bench, started a few cup matches etc. I think he could have been useful in closing games out as much as chasing them, it is like having another centre half at defending corners, put it this way, he is easily better then Borini.
But if the manager doesn't fancy him for whatever reason then that is that and he has to go. It might be that there is £10m there he fancies going toward the next Sturridge, hopefully not the next Borini!

Its financial insanity to drop 25 mill on the lad without giving him a real chance to prove his worth to the club and if he did eventually go show he was a talent worth a whole lot more than some derisory 10 mill ofer from the club who sold him to us for 35 mill...seems to me u guys are just forming another In Rafa We Trust Brigade just subsitute Rogers for Rafa there...whatever Rogers says goes he dont like the lad I dont like the lad and he has to go sort of thing..but when u think about it he has a lot of attributes we could have really used in a whole number of games this season that migh have brought about a different result to that we got.
Fair points Colin I just don't think Rodgers likes him. I don't have a huge amount against him but I also don't think he fits very well either. Difficult for me to put my finger on why exactly. Perhaps it's because he hasn't quite grabbed his opportunity at Liverpool or West Ham but injuries certainly played a part in that. I've just got the impression that Rodgers couldn't get him out the door fast enough for whatever reason.
I agree that he can offer the "bull in the China Shop option" and on his day he can be a real menace to any back 4 but from where I stand.
Tactic changes come in many shapes and forms for me and I think it's important that you hold true to your core principles which in our case is not to lump it forward. You can still do various things like stretch teams out wide, counter attack, and tuck in and overlap from deep.
At the moment my biggest concern is some rather strange lack of motivation and a rather alarming gap or two that appear in midfield.

Colyn...as u say and Ive been saying for a long time I dont know what it is between him and Rogers but it seems to me there is defo BAD BLOOD....most managers would be well pleased to have Andy in their squad and I warrant most would start him....this boy can do some real damage and Like I say if he stays fit next season could easily as a Plan B option render us a good 12pts come end of season that we wouldnt have otherwise won.
Colin - I don't necessarily have anything against Carroll, but I ask myself how useful will he be in our current set-up. On the rare occasions he's played, what stands out for me is the fact that he is not very mobile at all, an essential attribute for the way the current team is set up, and he and Suarez could hardly be described as being on the same wavelength can they? You have to admit he has not set the world alight at West Ham, which is surprising as they are set up exactly the right way for a player of Carrolls type.
I don't think Rodgers has had a falling out with him, I think he was honest from the start. You can't slag Rodgers off for that because how many times do you see new managers ditching players who you may think could have a role? All the time!
I think we need to take the loss on the chin a d get rid of him, even to Newcastle. If his money allows us to bring in a more suitable player for our system, then so be it.

Loki Jason...lads I believe the lad has talent he turns on a dime for a big fellah he has agreat shot on the turn he is dynamite in the air but needs some service to prove it...Stuart Downing on current form could be the supplier...why allthis insistence that if we play him it has to be with long balls hoofed down the middle tactics? Leave him up front to keep defences honest and let Downing get to the byline and send in those fast crosses high or low and u could see a high scoring Andy C plus he has great ability in holding up the ball up front until others are involved inthe play...something for all the criticism of the lad Emile Hesky also did well for us granted he never scored too many though. He also brings to the side something nobody else does withthe exception of maybe Stevie and Carra he can "put it about" in the box and cause real chaos which should make us far more proficient at profiting from corners and other set pieces. Thing is his wages are likely to cost us close to 3 mill the loan fee from WHU was 3 mill so another such loan fee or a rock bottom price from Newcastle for him ...10 mill ? What are u going to get for that maybe another Sturridge...a fair to middling forward but hardly world class or worse case scenario another Borini ! I just think its worth getting behind the lad giving support and lets just see if given that support he can deliver big time for us...I dont follow how u feel a manager would toss out a club record signing without even giving him a chance to show what hes got without there being personal issues behind it...u think if Torres had still been here with us #$%$ though he was at the death Rogers would have shown him the door because.."He doesnt suit my style of play and my plans."...te fans would have built a bonfire and stuck Rogers on the top of it !
Jason...u post on Andy C is nonesense. No.1 Rogers didnt purchase Andy C and therefore feels free to toss him overboard from the club with no consequences to himself..ie blame it all on Kenny and just make the excuse "HE doesnt suit my style of play." When I said any other Prem manager would be happy to have him on the books I meant were they to find themselves in Rogers place where its as if he came for free to him as as I say Rogers didnt make the buy every other manager would keep him WHU PAID A 3 MILL LOAN FEE to us for him and obviously dont have the cash to fess up another 17 mill to us for his services hence them not taking up their "option to buy "
No2 ...u fail when discussing his time at WHU to mention how much of the season he has spent out of the side injured that time alone might have seen him play sufficient matches to be a major scorer in Prem and therefore have lead to him winning those 12pts I mentioned he was capable of winning for a side by end of season...so it seems very convenient for u being a member of the IRWT BRIGADE ( Its no longer RAFA the second letter refers to its now Rogers ) to gloss over his absence from the side through injury.
You speak of certain poor results the only result that matters to me this season so far has been the last one the totally spineless performance at St. Mary's where we were lucky not to be heading back to Liverpool with a club record cricket score like defeat...it was very nearly turning into a complete rout and Rogers couldnt do a damned thing about it other than sit around looking his usual glum self ! You say the problem hasnt been scoring its been defending ..will give u that weve witnessed some poor defending from time to time this season but of course the problem IS scoring u need to put the ball in the back of the net more times than the opposition ...how else do u think u get three pts out of any game ??? Its better to win five games 1.0 than to win one 5.0 (Norwich) and lose the other four. Its not how many u score in a match more where and when u score those goals.
The other thing is it amazes me that for people so concerned about the clubs accounts and the FFP thing that so many are ready to take an immediate massive loss on Andy C...He is not a 10 mill bench warmer like Borini a man incidentally that u and Steer same intent on giving innumerable opportunities to prove he has ability and can contribute when he clearly has no ability yet where Andy C is concerned its "GET RID GET 10 MILL AND GET HIM DOWN THE ROAD !" So u are more than ready to see a 25 mill loss registered on the accounts ? One good season and this lad who is still young with his best yrs ahead of him and he could prove to be World Class and a prolific goalscorer..but rid of him for ten mill and maybe he could just go back to the TOON and come back to Anfield with them...and bury us ! Just like Southampton nearly did the other week...I think u need to rethink on the Andy C issue and consider that it may well be worth paying the approx 3 mill wages and just see if he can "prove his worth" and if he does if we do ultimately sell him we may even recoup that which was spent on him or close enough to it thereby making th club accounts look far better than they do currently rather than making them look even worse.
Loki u say its worth having 10 mill toward a player more suited to "our" system...that system looked totally defunct at St Mary's mate so dont se why after such a pathetic spineless display and Rogers inability to stem the rout (IT COULD HAVE EASILY TURNED INTO A CLUB RECORD DEFEAT ) u show such faith in BR...like i say sounds like another IRWT BRIGADE forming here.

Old China Roses Garner New Fans
Published: Friday, February 8, 2013 at 3:12 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 8, 2013 at 3:12 a.m.
It was more than two centuries ago that the first China roses arrived in Europe. Those plants, most with red or pink blossoms, were cultivated varieties of Rosa chinensis that had been grown in China for a long time. Two of those old China roses are still among the best no-spray, no-fuss roses for Central Florida gardeners.
"Louis Philippe," often called Cracker rose, bears a mildly fragrant crimson flower up to three inches wide. This outstanding, free-flowering rose grows slowly but steadily on its own roots (rather than requiring grafting), potentially achieving great age and size, making it the Deep South's premier rose for hedging. It also excels as a specimen plant and as part of a mixed shrubbery border. The sole drawback of "Louis Philippe" is that its blossoms aren't highly rated as cut flowers.
Similarly sturdy and lovely is "Old Blush," another China rose that grows on its own roots in Central Florida. And, like the Cracker rose, "Old Blush" has no need for sprays to keep its leaves healthy and its abundant pink flowers opening to perfection. "Old Blush," which can grow to an impressive size, has the same landscape applications as "Louis Philippe" — hedges, specimens and shrubbery border components. Incidentally, "Old Blush," one of the first China roses to reach Europe, is sometimes referred to as "Parson's Pink China."
Although "Louis Philippe" (Cracker rose) and "Old Blush" flourish without spraying if planted in sunny locations with good air circulation, they, like all roses, as well as most other shrubs, respond favorably to organically enriched sites that are kept mulched. Organic matter can be provided by deeply digging-in a large quantity of commercially prepared planting soil or a blend of composted cow manure, sphagnum moss and topsoil.
The best organic mulches are probably pine bark and pine straw. They and other organic mulches discourage root knot nematodes, moderate soil temperatures, maintain soil moisture and provide some nutrients. Most rose growers keep mulch several inches away from their plants' bases to permit air movement. Old China roses also appreciate occasional fertilization, but since our focus is on minimal fuss, I recommend using a wholly time-release product that provides nutrients for at least six months.

Burlap Gift Packaging
Just like we said in our Burlap Ribbon post, burlap is becoming all the rage this fall and winter season. The texture and color of burlap give any decor a rustic vibe while still maintaining the luxury of simplicity. You're going to see burlap being used multiple ways until New Year's. Many people are forgoing the metallic gold and silver for the holidays, and going the more "country in the Christmas" route. This involves creme colors, burlap, and more earthy tones like mint.
To stay on top-of-the-trend, we've decided to devote this blog to burlap gift packaging. Here you will see wonderful examples of how you can incorporate burlap into your gift packaging for friends and family.
Burlap Lined Basket
Instead of giving the traditional gift basket with tons of fill and cellophane, opt for a burlap lined basket. Summer Scraps has a wonderful tutorial on how to make it. All you need is a piece of burlap, a large basket, and a hot glue gun. Glue the burlap onto the basket, being sure to create cute folds. Tie down the burlap with some rope or jute twine. And you're finished! To keep the theme going, add homemade biscuits, honey, sugar cookies, or something from the country.
Burlap Candy Packaging
Deciding on a favor to give to your holiday guests? This idea from Martha Stewart Weddings is wonderful! Just cut mini squares of burlap, add candy, and tie with ribbon. To make it more holiday-themed, I would use red ribbon instead of the creme colored pictured. Also, when picking the candy to put in this favor, I would choose a candy that is wrapped. Burlap can sometimes leave reside or loose brown thread, therefore getting the candy dirty. Wrapped candy is better when working with burlap.
Burlap Christmas Stocking
For a truly unique gifting experience, make these unusual burlap Christmas stockings from Color Outside the Lines to wrap your gift in. These are wonderful to make with the kids since it only involves interweaving thread through the burlap openings. It doesn't look like it can hold much weight, so I would only use this packaging for light items or only one item. Some great things to fill up this Christmas stocking would be candy, make-up like lipgloss, or maybe packets of hot cocoa (one bag of marshmallows, one bag of hot cocoa).
Burlap Paper Packaging
Ever had that homemade card that you wanted to make more special? Or maybe a gift card that's paper? Or even a certificate for being the "Best Dad in the Whole Wide Word"? Use this lovely burlap paper packaging idea to show it off. All you need to do is roll your paper into a semi-tight roll. Then roll a strip of burlap that's 2-inches wide. Be sure and overlap the ribbon and glue the ribbon to itself on the backside. Add a twine bow to finish the look. You don't want to glue on the paper, because you want the recipient to slide the burlap paper packaging off the top.
Burlap Gift Bags
Looking for something more unique than the everyday plastic gift bag? Seasons of Joy's knows exactly what you mean! These adorable burlap gift bags are great for larger items like a candle, DVD, or medium-sized toy. It's a simple technique to sew a burlap gift bag, since you only need to sew the sides and bottom. Just add a bow at the top to close. You could also make these bags drawstring, so the recipient will use them over and over again.
Burlap Gift Box Packaging
Now, we've come to the big leagues! Burlap is the easiest when used on gift box packaging. You can adhere burlap two ways – use a strip down the middle of your gift box (typically, only a few inches wide) like The Savvy Photographer did or you can cover your whole package with burlap like The Charity Wedding did. It really depends on how much burlap you have available, what adornments you have, and how big the box is. For larger boxes, I would use the strip of burlap (just wrap, glue, and tie ribbon). If you have a ton of adornments, I would also use the burlap strip method, since you can doll up the middle of the burlap strip. If you have a ton of burlap and only small-sized boxes, why not cover the whole thing? Then finish it off with a bow.
Burlap Gift Packaging Embellishments
Wrap your present in a gift box or gift bag and then use some burlap embellishments to dress it up! Here are some wonderful adornments that are easy to make. To make the bow, cut your burlap fabric, cut a tiny piece (like 1/4″) and wrap it in the middle of the burlap, and then use your fingers to create the creases. To create the flower with green ribbon band, just cut your burlap ribbon into 1/2″ wide x 4″ height strips, overlap the strips until it resembles a flower, glue in the middle, and add white fabric strips on top. Go to Today's Fabulous Finds to learn how to make the more intricate burlap flower. And to create the burlap bow, you swap out ribbon and use burlap instead. You may need to use starch to keep the flaps from falling over.
Burlap Gift Envelope
This adorable burlap gift envelope from Glue Arts is quite unique and adorable. You can do what she did and fill the envelope full of tea or you could add recipe packets. Because it is open at the top, be careful when transporting this packaging (the ingredients may fall out in transport). Head to her blog for the exact instructions on creating this adorable burlap gift envelope.

About Chesterfield County
Millions of years ago, Chesterfield County was at the bottom of an ancient sea. The sandhills all around the county prove this. Indians lived throughout the area, and Indian artifacts can be found in various places where Indians were known to camp.
No white settlement was recorded until the 1730's when the Welsh Baptist came from Delaware in 1736. Phillip Dormer Stanhope, Fourth Earl of Chesterfield, gave land grants to the Craig family. John Craig, who fought in the American Revolutionary War in South Carolina, settled here and built a mill that was known as Craig's mill. It was very versatile in that it contained a grits, flour and saw mill, plus a cotton gin.
Chesterfield County is located on a long ridge running in a generally easterly/westerly direction. Since Chesterfield was never affected by a serious epidemic of typhoid fever or smallpox, many believe the location to be a healthy ridge.
The "Stage and Main Post Road" which provided a north-south stage coach route from New York to New Orleans became known as the "Old Wire Road" when the telegraph came into existence. By 1845, the county was industrialized. All material needs for the citizens were supplied by local industry including an iron foundry.
South Carolina's first secession meeting was held on November 19, 1860, at the Chesterfield County Courthouse. Sherman and his troops torched the courthouse in March of 1865, and all records were destroyed. During the Reconstruction Period, a new courthouse was built.
Chesterfield County has come a long way. Several industries are located all over the county. Excellent educational programs are maintained. Farming continues today with new variations in crops, fruit orchards, and livestock, including poultry. Several small towns across the county still offer tranquil surroundings with large cities a few miles away.
Today, Chesterfield County serves eight municipalities providing the rural areas with opportunities for growth and development through services that are far reaching. The county is a historical treasure but inhabited with a receptive spirit for new ideas.
The eight municipalities and their populations (according to the 1990 census) are:
Cheraw, pop. 5,235
Pageland, pop. 3,021
Chesterfield, pop. 1,418
McBee, pop. 670
Jefferson, pop. 759
Patrick, pop. 318
Ruby, pop. 318
Mt. Croghan, pop. 125
Total County Population: 38,577
Land area: 793 square miles
Elevation: The elevation of Chesterfield County varies from 125 to 700 feet above sea level. The terrain is level to rolling in the south-eastern section of the county, changing from rolling to hilly in the western portions of the county.
Rivers: The Great Pee Dee River forms the eastern boundary of the county with the Lynches River forming the western boundary.
Mean annual temperature: 60 degrees
Mean annual precipitation: 43.2 inches
Average growing season: 215 days
Forests, parks, refuges:
Carolina Sandhills National Wildlife Refuge
Sandhills State Forest
Cheraw State Park
Golfing: Chesterfield County offers five golf courses
Festivals and special events:
Cheraw Spring Festival
Lake Juniper Fishing Tournament
Pageland Watermelon Festival
Golden Nugget Festival in Jefferson

Josh Cunningham
Click for larger image
6-6 Josh Cunningham of Chicago made an official visit to USC over the weekend and is now ready to get down to the task of making his decisoin which he will announce on Friday afternoon at his school.Cunningham is down to USC, Indiana, DePaul, Bradley, Creighton and Minnesota. He said Sunday night all of the schools are still in the running.
"I really enjoyed it," he said of his USC visit. "I liked the campus. I liked the team. I liked the coaching staff. They had everything that I want to do academically. If I go there, they will push me to make me a better player."
Cunningham made a brief stop by Williams-Brice Stadium for the spring football game as he made his way around the campus.
As he thinks about his final choice this week, Cunningham has several factors to consider. "A school with great academics and with a great coaching staff that will push me every day and stay on top of me like my coach does. The visit helped South Carolna. It boosted them quite a bit."
Cunningham is one of the top unsigned players left in the 2014 class. He averaged 23 points and 15 rebounds per game this season.

Clif Notes
The Art of Climbing...and Winemaking
Originally Posted by Candice Crawford on Sunday, November 7, 2010
This past week we released our first vintage of our Climber Limited Release Napa Valley Bordeaux Blend. This is a very special wine that we only produced about 100 cases of and that will be available to our wine club members and in our St. Helena tasting room.
The label is inspired by Gary's days of climbing in the Yosemite Valley. The strong, long-haired guy climbing that little mountain (okay, it's a pretty big mountain) is Ron Kauk. Ron is a climbing legend and a dear friend of Gary's. When Gary started climbing in 1976, he spent a lot of time in Yosemite teaching himself and hanging out with a group of climbers. Ron Kauk also spent a lot of time in Yosemite around that same time and had already become well-known for his climbing abilities. However, it wasn't until the 1990's that Gary and Ron became friends and started doing some climbs together.
Gary has always respected Ron not only as a climber but as someone who has a deep respect for nature and climbs as part of his regard for the natural world around him. He has become one of the most renowned climbers in the world and is a pioneer of high level free climbing in the Yosemite Valley and Tuolumne Meadows.
The Climber Limited Release shows Ron on the Heaven climb in Yosemite Valley. We love this photo because it shows an amazing sense of balance and focus. Both of which are also required in winemaking (although the stakes are not near as high!). As Gary says, "the elements of climbing are not that different than those of a good climb - balance, focus and a connecting of the senses."
You'll find all three in this special 2008 bordeaux blend sourced from Napa Valley Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cab Franc and Malbec. The wine possesses amazing dark fruit aromas and flavors with a hint of earthiness on the nose. This wine will age well for the next six years but is also ready to drink right now.
It's the perfect wine for any holiday meal - the label sparks conversation while the wine pairs well with almost any holiday dish.
Purchase the first vintage of our Climber Limited Release online or in our tasting room.

WASHINGTON: An internal Enron document released by federal energy regulators points out how the corporation manipulated electricity prices causing them to rise ten-fold during California's energy crisis.
"These documents," says Senator Joseph Dunn from California, who headed a legislative committee probe into the power crisis the state suffered a year ago, "confirm what we have known for some time, through circumstantial evidence. They show internal corporate strategies for manipulating the market."

Detectives have arrested 67-year-old Richard Lester Brode on child porn charges.
Detectives were investigating Brode after they received a complaint from someone in the community who is a mandatory reporter on Friday. A mandatory reporter is someone who is obligated by law to report any suspicion of sexual abuse.
Officers said they received a complaint that Brode was holding his victims against their will and forcibly raping them. Police did not release any information about the victims to protect their identities.
A search warrant was served at Brode's home and officers found child pornography. Police also said that Brode had hardbound books that contained child pornography, with titles such as "Child Women" and "Immediate Family".
Brode was arrested and booked into jail on multiple charges.
Detectives are continuing to follow up on the case to determine if there are additional victims. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Santa Cruz Police Department Investigations Unit at (831) 420-5820.
