Dear Santa:
You must be so tired getting ready for all those boys and girls.
I'm tired too, but it's a good tired. Sometimes it's easy for me to get frustrated this time of year, especially not getting to have our regular weekly program with kids at The Salvation Army because of the crazy busyness of signing up people for the holiday assistance they need for their families at this special time of the year and everything else that is going on.
But I have realized that I can still be a blessing in a different sort of way.
A majority of our volunteers need transportation to help us ring bells at the kettles.
Being with them in the vehicle gives me special opportunities and extra time to spend with them.
I listen, I laugh and sometimes I cry with them. Most importantly, I also can spend time in prayer with them.
I meet so many new folks that I otherwise would not have met and so I see it as a unique kind of seasonal ministry.
In between dropping volunteers at kettles, I also drop in to do home and hospital visitation.
Just yesterday I received a call from the hospital that there was a gentleman who wanted someone from the Salvation Army to come by and visit with him.
He is 81 years old but it turned out that he went to church at The Salvation Army when he was a young boy in another town.
I am guessing that at this time when he was not feeling so great, he reflected on some memories of comfort from his time at The Salvation Army.
I can't wait to see what this week will bring!
Thanks for listening Santa.
Your friend,
Captain Debbie

In what may be the final night launch of a space shuttle, Endeavour made a picturesque launch against a black Florida sky Monday morning.
The launch came after mission managers' concerns about the weather dissipated as did a low-level cloud deck above the launch pad. Unlike Sunday morning, Mother Nature cooperated and on its second launch opportunity a vehicle that had no technical issues was free to fly.
"It's time to go fly," said Endeavour commander George Zamka minutes before the launch. And indeed it was.
The shuttle's main engines fired.
With just five shuttle flights remaining, mission managers said this is probably the last night launch barring major technical issues that throw the launch schedule off track for the rest of the year. Night launches are prized for their magnificence; it's like the difference between the visibility of fireworks at day and night.
Endeavour ascends into the cosmos.
The 13-day mission will deliver a new module, the Tranquility node, and a cupola to the International Space Station, with Endeavour's crew installing both. The new node will provide more work room inside the station and the cupola will provide a window onto the universe.
So much work remains ahead of the astronauts, but they may have gotten past the hardest part this morning, that which they cannot control.
The weather in Florida.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the 1993 Philadelphia Phillies going from worst to first and winning the National League pennant. All season long we will take a look back at each game of the 1993 season.
Last Game: Phillies 3, Cubs 0
Reds 4
Phillies 5
WP: Jose DeLeon (2-0)
LP: Steve Foster (0-2)
SV: Mitch Williams (4)
The Phillies continued with their hot start to the 1993 season by taking an early lead, blowing it and getting it back in the series opener against the visiting Cincinnati Reds. Mitch Williams picked up his fourth save and reliever Jose DeLeon picked up his second win of the season on a day that saw Lenny Dykstra do everything he could to give the Phillies their major league leading sixth win of the season.
Danny Jackson made his second start of the season for the Phillies and his first in Veterans Stadium with just a handful over 20,000 fans paying for a ticket to the early season NL East match-up. things started very well for Jackson on the mound, who retired the first seven batters he faced. He was also handed a 4-0 lead before running in to some trouble in the fourth inning. Dykstra manufactured a run to lead things off, first by working the count to 3-2 and drawing a walk against Reds starter John Smiley and then stealing second base on Smiley's first pitch to Phillies second baseman Mariano Duncan. Dykstra reached third base on the same at-bat off a wild pitch by Smiley and he came home on an infield grounder from John Kruk. Back-to-back RBI singles by Wes Chamberlain and Kim Batiste in the second inning gave the Phillies a 3-0 lead in the second inning and another by Wes Chamberlain in the third inning pushed the lead to 4-0.
The Reds dug out of the 4-0 hole though. Back-to-back two-out RBI singles by Reggie Sanders and Joe Oliver cut the lead in half in the fourth inning. The reds chased Jackson from the game in the sixth inning after Sanders came through with another RBI single and Oliver walked on five pitches to load the bases. Phillies manager Jim Fregosi then called on the bullpen, bringing in Jose DeLeon to take over on the mound for Jackson. DeLeon gave up a sacrifice fly to Cecil Espy to tie the game at 4-4.
The tie would extend in to the seventh inning with the bullpens from each team settling things down on the mound. But Dykstra would not be denied. Once again working the count, as he often did, Dykstra and Reds reliever Steve Foster battled to a full count with one out. Dykstra then delivered his second home run of the season in to the Veterans Stadium seats in right field, giving the Phillies a 5-4 lead for the back end of the bullpen to protect for two more innings.
Larry Andersen walked two batters in the top of the eighth inning but struck out two batters and had one pinch runner thrown out by Darren Daulton while trying to steal second base. After the Phillies went down in order in the bottom of the eighth inning the game was put in the hands of closer Mitch Williams. Williams struck out pinch hitting Juan Samuel to start the inning and he closed it out with a pair of flyball outs for the 5-4 win.
The Phillies improved on baseball's best record in the early going by improving to 6-1.

For the second time in its illustrious two-week history, Fox Sports 1 hosts a UFC main card when the curtain goes up Wednesday on UFC Fight Night 27.
As such, this one's certain to be dissected for decades to come in journalism labs around the nation and world. But for us workaday MMA fans and writers, well, we're more focused on the main event, a rematch between violent welterweights Carlos Condit and Martin Kampmann. They originally fought in 2009, and Kampmann took a thin split decision.
But there is intrigue to be found in each and every one of the six fights that fans can see for free on FS1 Wednesday night.

Men's Tennis To Host Three Matches This Weekend
MUNCIE, Ind. - After playing two matches on the road last week, the Ball State men's tennis team returns home to the Muncie YMCA Tennis Center to play three matches this weekend. The Cardinals host Dartmouth Friday at 3 p.m., before closing out the weekend Saturday against Illinois State at 1 p.m. and Anderson University at 6:30 p.m.
Ball State begins the weekend with a 4-4 overall record while Dartmouth 9-3 on the year. Illinois State comes to Muncie with a 4-3 mark and Anderson will be playing its first match of the season against the Cardinals Saturday.
The Cardinals are coming off losses at Xavier (6-1) Feb. 19 and No. 10 Notre Dame (4-0) Feb. 22. At Notre Dame, the Irish and the Cardinals participated in the 2014 College Match Day series which was streamed live on ESPN3 for the first time in program history. The competition between the two schools' was part of a trial format where the teams played singles first: Six best-of-three set singles matches (worth one point per match) to start each match. Four points was required to win the team match. Doubles would only be played in case of a tie.
Currently Ball State is being led by junior Patrick Elliott who owns a 5-2 dual record while freshman Lucas Andersen has the second best singles mark with a 4-2 record.
After the matches this weekend, the Ball State men's tennis team begins a four-match road trip where the Cardinals will first face Vanderbilt (March 7) and Lipscomb (March 8) in Nashville, Tenn., before making their way west to Las Vegas, Nevada to take on North Dakota (March 14) and UNLV (March 15).

David Bruce: Avoid house rental scams
A relatively new scam is taking advantage of Erie County residents looking for a house to rent.
Some of the rental listings on the popular real estate websites such as Zillow and Trulia are fake. Scammers take information about houses for sale they find on other websites and use it to create fake ads.
"They make it very enticing by offering an incredibly low rate," said Laurie McCarthy, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker. "Then they ask for the first month's rent in advance and promise to send you the keys."
Only the keys never come.
McCarthy first heard about the scam a few months ago from an out-of-town client who was looking to rent a house in Erie.
The client corresponded by e-mail with the supposed property owner, who claimed to be a pastor doing missionary work in Africa. The "pastor" offered an extremely low rent -- $600 a month for a three-bedroom, two-bathroom house -- because what he really wanted was someone responsible to care for the dwelling.
"The scammers said to ignore the 'For Sale' signs on the property, that they were selling the house but had changed their minds," McCarthy said.
In truth, the property remained for sale by its legal owner. McCarthy checked on one of the properties her client came across and discovered the real owner and their listing agent had no clue it was being offered on websites.
How can you avoid such a scam? Here are some tips, courtesy of the Federal Trade Commission:
Don't wire someone money for a rental. There is never a good reason to wire money to pay a security deposit, application fee, first month's rent or vacation rental fee.
Wiring money is the same as sending cash through the mail. You are better off paying with a credit card, PayPal or through a reputable rental website.
Don't pay the security deposit for first month's rent until you have met the property owner or signed a lease. Set up a meeting with the owner before you hand over any money. If that's not possible, search online under the owner's name and the listing.
If you find the same rental ad under a different name, that's a clue it might be a scam. Visit the house or have someone you trust visit.
Don't send money overseas. Look elsewhere for a rental if the owner isn't available to meet, show you the property or sign a lease.
Scammers will often have a "lawyer" or "agent" working on their behalf. Some even create fake keys to give you.

London: Celebrity watchers in Gloucestershire, south-west England, can spend their summer ogling Michael Gambon, Keeley Hawes and many another star. The BBC is in the town of Stroud to film JK Rowling's (pictured) The Casual Vacancy, because it tells us "something insightful about the country we live in". The BBC forgot to add that the best insight that the arguments about Rowling bring is that vindictive fanatics swarm over British culture.
Her story of rivalries in a small west country town is the most unfairly criticised novel in modern fiction. You will not understand why unless you understand the mentality of an intellectual policeman. Perhaps you scan a novel like an inquisitor interrogating a heretic looking for a passing reference to America, climate change, the EU or whatever else stirs your passions.
Like a Freudian slip or DNA fingerprint, it tells you all you need to know. Writers may devote 99pc of their time to talking about other subjects. They don't fool you. A forensic scientist can identify a criminal from a stray hair. So it is with the cops who police culture. They need only a scrap of evidence and — gotcha! — ideological guilt is proved beyond reasonable doubt.
One cannot pretend that The Casual Vacancy is a modern Middlemarch; Rowling's account of provincial life lacks Eliot's humanity. But I understand why it has had millions of readers. Rowling moves 20 main characters through 500 pages and shows their development without pity or illusion. Her critics seized on just two of them to pretend that an ambitious and impressive work was agitprop. Howard Mollison is a grotesquely obese, small-minded shopkeeper who wants to dominate the parish council. In particular, he wants to return his town to middle-class exclusiveness by ending funding for a drug rehabilitation centre. His wife is a frigid schemer, who is even less attractive than her husband. Rowling leaves the reader in no doubt that she loathes everything about their twee, cramped lives.
Political correctness does not exist only on the authoritarian left, and Rowling's portrait of the Mollisons brought out its snarling British Tory (Conservative party) twin. The London-based Daily Mail claimed Rowling was cramming "a socialist manifesto" down readers' throats. Charles Moore whined in the Telegraph that Rowling hated the decent middle class and could only praise "admirable Sikh doctors, social workers and teachers". The brown skinned, the public sector worker, in other words. The Guardian agreed albeit from the other side of the divide. Rowling dissected snobbery and racism, therefore her novel was "not bad at all". QED.
Politicised critics judge fiction by its "message" as real secret policemen with the power to censor and harm do. And as with real secret policemen, politicised critics don't understand what they are reading — or want to understand either.
Stop here if you haven't read the novel but the notion that Rowling produced a "socialist manifesto" can only come from minds that were closed before the book was opened. I don't know if decades in children's books pushed Rowling over the edge, but she revels in the freedom that adult fiction brings. She mercilessly exposes all her characters' flaws without regard for colour, class or creed. The "admirable" Sikh doctor, who so upset the Telegraph, is an appalling mother, who ignores her miserable daughter because she is neither clever nor beautiful. The teacher is a paranoid wreck. The social worker is a desperate woman who tries to force an unwilling man into marriage.
The Casual Vacancy is not liberal propaganda or anything like it. The book's "political message", for what it is worth, is conservative in the end. The threatened drugs centre cannot rehabilitate a heroin-addicted mother, with appalling consequences for her children. Its failure vindicates Howard Mollison's belief that helping drug addicts is a waste of taxpayers' money. I doubt that if one reader in a million notices or cares however, and I wonder if Rowling does either. She and her readers were concerned about character and human faults and folly. They know what too few critics grasp: you cannot reduce a great or even a good work to a political checklist.
The sloganising bores of the British Conservative press falsely accused Rowling. But there is a paradox hidden in her treatment few like to face. The fanaticism that makes critics scour texts like Stalinists produces hack propagandists by the thousand, of course, but it produces good journalists too. Their enthusiasms and loathings drive them to find what others pass over and follow leads that others ignore. I am afraid to say that fair-minded people can make terrible reporters.
And perhaps terrible novelists too. The malice with which Rowling dissects her characters' faults is the book's greatest glory.
The obsessiveness that makes her censure her characters' flaws is matched by her willingness to fund a press regulator that will allow state-backed censorship. If Impress, the body she and other supporters of Hacked off (the UK campaign for a free and accountable press) are so generously financing, secures statutory recognition, every British paper must either join it or face punitive damages and costs whenever an oligarch or MP sues them — even if they have told the truth.
You might find it incredible that writers who rely on freedom of speech are going along with Hacked Off and I remain astonished by the naivety of Ian McEwan, Tom Stoppard and — give me strength — Salman Rushdie. But in the case of Rowling, it is not astonishing at all. In life as in fiction, she is all of a piece. Rowling is so used to condemning, it never occurs to her that she may be condemned; when she takes freedoms from others, she never thinks that they may one day be taken from her.
Shelley said that writers are the unacknowledged legislators of the world. Let us hope he was wrong. The example of Rowling and her critics suggests that if writers ever got near a legislature, they would scream, twist, shoot off on demented political trajectories and censor. At least the good ones would.

Tide Practices Back On Schedule
Alabama returned to practice with a 90-minute Wednesday evening workout in helmets and shoulder pads in the Hank Crisp Indoor Facility, and then had a two-hour full gear practice Thursday afternoon, also indoors.
Alabama, 12-1 and ranked second in the nation, is preparing for the BCS National Championship Game against top-ranked Notre Dame (12-0) on Jan. 7 at Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens, Fla.
Bama will practice in Tuscaloosa Friday, Saturday, Monday, and early Tuesday before departing for South Florida.
Following Thursday's practice, Alabama Coach Nick Saban said, "We were happy to get everybody back here last night. We had a couple of guys that had some weather delays, but everybody eventually got back in here. A couple of guys were late, through no fault of their own, relative to weather situations, especially in the East and especially in Dallas.
"We had a good practice last night. Everybody was ready to go. The key to it is to sustain it and get really four good days of work.
"The quality of practice is more important now than it is during the season, because you haven't played for a long time.
"Finishing, practicing the right way, thudding runners, finishing blocks, finishing runs _ not having got hit that many times. Ball security.. All those things are really important to be able to get done in practice because you don't have a game every week to sort of get used to playing your way into what it takes to be able to be competitive and do all those things correctly in a game.
"We started to do some game prep this week, which is important. We are going try to give the players the best tools we can to help them be successful in the game, but when the game comes they will have had to prepare correctly so that they can go out and execute the things they need to do to use those tools to their advantage."
"When you have this much time you really accumulate a lot of information on the other team, so you have a lot more things to cover.
"Notre Dame is a team especially on offense that they do a lot of stuff. There's a lot of adjustments that you have to make, a lot of personnel groups, utilize their personnel well, move guys around that can create mismatch problems for you. Some of those adjustments are things that are a little different than what we've had to face throughout the season, so it's probably good that we have a little bit more time.
"Their defense has a really good front seven. They've played very effectively all year long, especially in the red zone and on the goal line. "Having the additional prep time is probably a good thing. We're going through every situation right now and taking it one step at a time. It does allow you to evaluate some of your stuff that you might want to do in the game and see which things might work a little bit better. And make sure that you rep what you want to do the next time so that the players can execute it properly in the game."
Although Saban said there was nothing new to report on the injury front, it was somewhat newsworthy that All-America center Barrett Jones, who suffered an injured foot in the Southeastern Conference Championship Game against Georgia, and Freshman All-SEC linebacker Denzel Devall, who suffered a sprained knee in practice, continued to be held out of work.
Saban said, "Both spend a little time on a treadmill. Depending on how that goes this week, then they'll probably be able to practice maybe next week. That's kind of the plan, but it's day to day because they both need to continue to make progress to be able to come back and play. We're hopeful that they get at least five practices in before the game and are able to do that and sustain that."

As we Christians observed the beginning of the Lenten season by fasting and abstaining, lovers of the greeting card industry - I mean, Valentine's Day - bought chocolate in droves and school-aged children salivated over an impending long weekend. Ooh, and the world's best big brother, mine, had a birthday - happy day, Dan!
And then, something weird happened: I went to Florida.
That's right. For three days I was surrounded by 80-degree temperatures and sunshine. In February.
Before you start cursing me and breaking your Lenten resolutions, it was a work trip. For those of you who travel often or even occasionally for business, you understand the true meaning of the term.
For those who do not, allow me to sum it up in six words: I do not have a tan.
You see, here's the thing about a work trip: It is not, for the record, vacation. It's, you know, work. In fact, you put in far more hours when traveling for work than you do in the office, hands down.
It's busy. It's hectic. It's rushed. You have to fit a week's worth of clothes into a tiny sandwich baggie lest you face $497 in extra fees or standing in line for an additional two-days awaiting your luggage at the baggage claim. Blech on both counts. I went for the baggie.
Then there's security check. Airport screens are not even remotely amusing. Well, except for how you look - inside and out. Because, after they relegate you to unbelted, shoeless, sweatshirt-free (if it's an outer layer) status, they don't just look at you, they look through you, literally (Read: the x-ray bad-people spotter inside which you need to assume the position of a cat burglar who's just been caught lifting a Ming Dynasty vase).
I'm trying to clear up a misnomer here, folks. For as soon as someone hears the word "Florida," there's an automatic assumption of sipping mai tais on the beach or lounging poolside from sun-up to sundown.
A work trip includes none of this. In fact, your only view of the delightful palm trees swaying in the warm breeze is from your perch inside the conference room between back-to-back-to-back-to-back meetings. You have to forego your bed, your pillow, your routine. You have say the rosary an extra few times.
Yes, yes, you do.
Downtime? You will eventually have plenty. Unfortunately, it will come as you struggle to find comfort in uber-awkward airport seats near the boarding gate after the flight attendant announces your departing flight has been delayed. If you're really lucky, you'll get some extra quality minutes on the tarmac, too, waiting to taxi off into the wild blue yonder ... onto a flight, by the way, that may or may not feel eerily similar to a ride on the Millennium Force at Cedar Point - except that it lasts for two-and-a-half hours.
Oh, and then there's the whole Ohio vs. Florida argument that ensues whenever a work trip requires Buckeyes to travel to the Sunshine State.
Inevitably, this particular flight path always leads to an argument between diehard northerners and (mostly transplanted) southerners. Ohioans will defend our bitter cold and snowy winters by countering that the humidity and sweltering temps of Florida in August are unbearable.
Tornadoes vs. hurricanes. Year-round sun vs. changes of season. It goes on and on.
Listen, I'd love to tell you that I hated every minute in Florida. That I wasn't thrilled beyond words to spend time with my snowbirding parents. That I was not floating on air to be able to be outdoors running - in shorts! - in February, even if I had to do it at 4:30 a.m.
But I don't want to lie, especially during Lent. Florida is sublime. I love it there, period. There, I said it. Could I be persuaded to move their sometime in my golden years? Ha! Try to stop me.
Bottom line? My heart a.k.a. family is in Ohio.
And you know what? That's the only sunshine you really need.
I couldn't wait another second to get back Kyle, Kerry and Monnie - even if it was only 30-degrees and snowing when I did.

Buy solid color gossamer and decorate tables, walls, floors, and chairs at your event. Stumps Party has so many gossamer fabric colors to choose from that you can create any look you want. Use solid gossamer such as gold gossamer to create a rich backdrop for theme decoration.
Enjoy the ultimate versatility of solid color gossamer for table settings with the following technique. Select any color of gossamer fabric to serve as the base covering on the table. For this example choose Bermuda blue gossamer. Next, place flat decorative accents on the table. For a tropical theme, use colorful tropical paper fish. Finish the table covering with one more layer of sheer gossamer such as white gossamer that will allow the decorative accents to show through. Place a palm tree centerpiece on the table to finish off this particular look. If you have really high ceilings then hang long panels of metallic gold gossamer from ceiling to floor to create a look of opulent gossamer fabric colors columns. Pair solid gossamer with patterned gossamer to really make the themes pop.
Customize a decorative arch to the color theme of your event by wrapping in a candy-cane fashion one or more pieces of solid color gossamer around the frame of the arch. For a patriotic theme wrap the arch with red gossamer and royal blue gossamer accented with plastic flag garland running along the frame of the arch. Pull a panel of blue gossamer from the arch to the floor on the left side and a panel of red gossamer from the arch to the right side to give depth to the arch that guests would be walking under or taking their picture in front of.

|« Ethiopia: From Dictatorship to Democracy
|The Plight of Andualem Aragie and Other Political Prisoners in Ethiopia »
Ethiopia as a waste disposal اثيوبيا باعتبارها التخلص من النفايات
By Yilma Bekele
The embattled former tyrant president of Yemen Ali Abdullah Saleh is going to settle in Ethiopia. Ethiopia will be his home in exile. Ethiopia was not his first choice. He wanted to settle in Oman his neighbor on the West. The Sultan of Oman was not receptive to the idea. His attempt to go to the UAR was politely rebuffed. Ethiopia is a refuge of last resort. We are being used as a dump. I am certainly familiar with that practice of getting rid of waste. Upon finishing a project we always have left over debris. We normally haul it to a public dump where they charge by the pound. The City makes extra effort to recycle our garbage.
That is what came to mind when I heard about good old Saleh being run out of Sanna, Yemen. They are dumping their debris and I was wondering how much The Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia was charging for this waste. It is a container full I am told. Considering all the wives and the children and the nephews and the cousins and fellow partners in crime it is quiet a heavy load. It is raining dollars for EFFORT and junior associates.
You might think I am being too harsh. I am being hateful and it is wrong to vent in such a way. You must be saying how rude of me to call a former President such a name. I very much doubt you would judge me harshly after I tell you who Mr. Saleh is. I assure you he is not an ordinary refugee like most of us. None of us left on a chartered plane did we? I present you fellow refugee Ali Saleh.
Ali Saleh has less than elementary education. In 1960 he graduated from the North Yemen Military Academy with a rank of Corporal. In 1978 as a Second lieutenant he was appointed military governor of a province. Upon the assassination of the President Second lieutenant Saleh was appointed a member of the four-man Provisional Presidency Council. The date was June 24th of 1978. On July 17, 1978 Second lieutenant Saleh was 'elected' by the parliament to be the President of North Yemen and Chief of staff and Commander-in-chief of the armed forces.
His first act as president was execute thirty officers after charging them with conspiracy. That took place on August 10th. Of 1978. In 1979 he fought with the Peoples Democratic Republic of Yemen his southern neighbor. In 1990 the two counties merged as Republic of Yemen and the newly minted colonel Saleh became the first president. In 1994 he declared state of emergency and dismissed his Southern partners from office. Fighting ensued between the two Yemen's. There has been no respite from civil war and civil unrest ever since he came to power. It did not matter the North or the South it was always war and conflict. In his own words he survived 'by dancing on the heads of snakes.' He is able to do so by manipulating tribal alliances, political intrigues and iron fisted approach to deal with real and perceived enemies. He created the situation and benefited himself and his family and other criminal friends. He lived in a palace that even got 'gold-crested armchairs.'
By 2006 Yemen was averaging income of $5.5 billion from oil exports. In 2006 Yemen was allocated $4.7 billion from Europeans and their rich Gulf neighbors. Yemen was not hurting for money. The problem was management of all that was pouring in from oil, donors and remittances from poor Yemenis scattered all over the Middle East.
That is what happens when one is cursed with a sick leader in charge. His political and economic policies are designed to satisfy his and his clan's parasitic existence not the needs of the country. Coffee used to be Yemen's main export and principal form of foreign exchange until it was replaced by the non-sustainable (qat). Instead of developing domestic industry thru better education and incentives to entrepreneurs Saleh's policy made Yemen dependent on outsiders and forced his youngest and brightest citizens to migrate out to send him remittances that he squandered. Yemen became what is known as a 'failed state.'
As his domestic policy revolved around the survival of his family and friends his foreign policy showed the erratic nature of his regime. Saleh's support of Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait was so disastrous it caused the relocation of over 850,000 Yemenis. They were unceremoniously deported, kicked out, pushed away from Saudi Arabia and the Gulf. His clueless dance with Tehran isolated Yemen from its Arab neighbors.
Tyrants are peculiar animals. The same Saleh who was a friend of Saddam and ally of Iran was not shy visiting Washington in 2001 and declaring himself to be the number one fighter against 'Islamic terrorism.' It gave him new ammunition against domestic opponents and millions of dollars in US aid to his private army. Did I tell you that his oldest son Ahmed is the commander of the US funded Republican Guard and his nephew Amar is in charge of National Security; his other nephew Tariq is the head of the Presidential Guard while another nephew Yahya controls the Counter-terrorism unit. It is all in the family. He is still dancing on the head of snakes.
Poor Yemen that has been limping from one crisis to another saw an opening with the arrival of
'Arab Spring'. Tunisia stirred their passion for freedom. January 27, 2011 is a blessed day. That was the day Yemenis got rid of fear and went out in mass demanding the ouster of Saleh and family. A cancerous tumor that has taken over thirty years to attach itself to the host cannot be excised so easy. It took exactly a year to drive this varmint out of Yemen. Human Rights Watch has documented the deaths of 270 protesters and bystanders during last year's protests. Thousands more protesters were injured by live ammunition. The country was turning or stands a good chance of becoming another Somalia. Saleh is the owner of this debacle.
This is the toxic garbage dumped on our country. The Yemeni people will demand justice. They will hunt this criminal and his family to the end of the earth to bring him to justice. No one can blame them. Ethiopia will be exposed to their righteous anger and be caught in this family affair. Our country that has prided itself protecting freedom fighters and is the seat of African Union is fast becoming a refugee to criminals and misfits running away from their sins and International Justice. Today Saleh may be tomorrow Sudan's Al Bashir and who is to stop Assad from pitching his tent in the rift valley. Ironic that her children are run away while criminals are welcome.
International treaties and conventions are nothing to sneer at. It is true they serve the interest of the big powers in more ways than one. It is also the best tool at hand that usually serves the interest of the weak. Go to International Criminal Court of Justice Web site and look under 'situation and cases' and you will see what I mean. (http://www.icc-cpi.int/Menus/ICC/Home) That is one scary bunch you see there. The ICCJ is a last resort of the weak and the voiceless. Our country has appealed to the League of Nations and the UN when invaded. Turning against international rules and convention is not the way to garner respect or legitimacy.
What is troubling to the rest of us is the role played by the Western powers in this tragic affair. They were perfectly aware that Saleh is not a pleasant human being to be associated with. They encouraged him because he served their purpose. Wikileaks was kind enough to expose their duplicity in this criminal enterprise. In 2009 the US gave $150 million including $45 million to equip and train an aviation regiment for Yemeni Special Forces. It is sad that in order to safeguard their own security that they turn a blind eye when the same weapon is used against unarmed civilians.
They are the ones that forced the Yemeni people to swallow this poisonous pill of 'immunity'. The so-called agreement brokered by the US and the Gulf states is supposed to shielded Saleh, his friends and family from all criminal act against their own people. Thus the Yemenis are expected to pretend thirty-four years of crime and destruction did not happen.
It is supposed to be civilized to forgive and let go. Civility as a principle is understandable but the danger I see is when it is practiced to mask issues such as accountability, justice and the rule of law. What the Western powers did was push international law, international treaties under the rug so some still surviving tyrants will not be unduly alarmed. The about-face action by dear allies and friends of Mubarak and Gaddafi has been duly noted by a few in the neighborhood. As recently as January 6, 2012 UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay reasserted that an amnesty cannot be granted for serious crimes under international law. Who is listening?
I was contemplating issues such as this when I heard a report regarding Gambella, Ethiopia - on public radio. Mr. Saleh is being welcomed to settle in our country and Ato Okok Ojulu is displaced from his ancestral land to roam the planet as a refugee.
Ato Ojulu's Gambella is in Western Ethiopia. It is sparsely populated. They are settled farmers. They are blessed with a beautiful land that has sustained them for generations. Our leader has determined since he is the owner of the land he felt he is better of leasing it to outsiders. The plan consisted of moving Ato Ojulu and his village to a new area. They did not even have time to harvest when they were forcefully moved.
A peaceful villager is now a refugee in Kenya. He is not equipped to live outside of his village. His land is his identity. He was content where he was. Today his beautiful Gambella is becoming one big commercial farm. They are talking about investing billions and growing rice. They are going to use the mighty river for irrigation and dump their fertilizer waste into the water. The fishes and wild animals are going the way of Ato Ojulu. Gambella will be no more. The Anuk way of life will soon be memory.
I sat in my car. I am responsible for my brother's plight. I let his village down. Ojulu my brother is telling his story all the way from Kenya. He was keeping the spirit of his ancestors alive. He has no control over the action of the Ethiopian Government that looked at him as insignificant. There is nothing he can do about the Saudi/Indian/Chinese investors. My brother Ojulu has control over his own response. He is fighting back the way he knows how. It was a single voice from across the planet but I heard it loud. My friend Solomon heard it and called me. I am sure lots of people heard it and felt moved. How we respond is up to each of us. I also know Ojulu is not asking for pity.
As he remembered his displaced people he is asking us to do what is in our power to help him save a way of life and a proud people. There is a lot we can do. Get involved and make a difference. All our independent sites are filled with programs to help us get informed and be intelligent citizens. Our love and can do spirit will defiantly neutralize all the negatives emanating from the palace. As my brother Ojulu did let us be in control of our response. (http://www.solidaritymovement.net/signPetion.cfm )
Now I hope you will not judge me harshly regarding my indignation about the individual Ali Saleh. He has caused pain and agony to a lot of people. Answering why will never explain how his criminal activity has impacted real people. Due to his madness and delusion he felt that he was the only one fit to govern. He felt others lack his superior intellect and don't even know to appreciate how lucky they are to have him at the helm. Any one that thinks different is nothing but an enemy of the state to be eliminated and wiped out.
In an Interview he gave a few weeks before he left this is what Saleh said about the uprisings in the area "This is a virus and is not part of our heritage or the culture of the Yemeni people." I would say boy did they ever surprise him! This is the person parking his criminal behind on our precious land. I feel like a doormat.

It is ironic to see the same regime that complained about Mengistu getting refuge in Zimbabwe is pulling a Mugabe. Hope this fact is not lost on the Ethiopian public. Meles' day of reckoning is coming soon too.
In 1991 Meles Zenawi told Gaddafi that he is Yemeni not Ethiopian
tew tew atasken. This rather shows how Ethiopia is becoming a pacifier.what days are you counting in relation to meles the states man?
….your speculations are simply speculations and are FACT FREE.Ethiopia has an obligatory peace maker role in the current political turmoil in Yemen.Unstable yemen is a threat for peace and security of not only Ethiopia but the whole East African reagion.And do not forget Ali abdelah Saleh still has political and financial influence in Yemen ; and he has done a resonable move for the sake of his country and its people.It is true he was a dictator and he has done good by choosing exile…..
I am against the idea.But,so far, we haven't heard yet any thing official about this issue from the Ethiopian government. Peace!!
This shows how Ethiopia has become a place of dispicable tyrants.
This decads of tyrant must feel secured to fall into another dispised tyrants's (Meles Zenawi) hand.
After being rejected from other countries only a tyrant welcomes his like.
Of course countries with high standard for their fellow beings will not allow unwanted rotten dictator to live in their counrty.
Yilma the angry Amhara would certainly love it if the Yemeni dictator indeed ends up in exile in Ethiopia not because he is truely concerned about Ethiopia but because it gives him a 'golden opportunity' to tarnish the good name of Ethiopia. Angry neftegnas like yilma are always hunry for some bad news about our beloved Ethiopia. Nothing excites them about some drought, ethnic or religious conflict in Ethiopia, such disasters are their best fighting tools against the gallant EPRDF.
YIlma Bekele
You the only one with waste disposal mission and propaganda if this man choose somewhere in west you wouldn't raise your toxic voice. He choice Ethiopia due to many reason environment,hospitality of the habitant and etc. To remind you Ethiopia;s king welcome peace up on him Prophet Mohammed.
Helping a criminal evade the law is NOT being a pacifier the proper legal terminology for it is an "ACCESSORY". By the way Meles is in his 50s right now and given that he lives well in terms of diet and medical care he can expect to live well for another 30 years. The unfortunate fact about this is that the political system he has built is not sustainable for that long. Nor will the public or elite tolerate him for that long. Add on to this todays flow of information and his situation is untenable.
The inherent flaw of dictatorships is that they concentrate power in one individual to insure that the system does not function without them. The problem with this is that even the elites they have coopted eventually get tired of them. Think of the newly minted millionaires that exist in Addis because of their connection to the regime. These guys will soon start clipping Meles' wing to protect their wealth. They will not tolerate the fact that they can loose everything at Meles' will. This has happened throughout history from the monarchies of Europe to Putin in modern day Russia. Your Emperor will soon get his too trust me, the likes of Gadaffi had far more wealth and yet they succumed. The public can barely afford 3 meals a day while some connected to the teat of the regime live in decadence. You cannot hide this fact and it's just a matter of time this issue blows the lid off this boiling pot.
What most of the world calls waste is a very precious person or thing in Ethiopia. Ethiopians are happy to get the waste of the other parts of the world.
Saleh did a favor for TPLF during their struggle wars against the Neftenga oppressive rules of the country.Thus Ethiopian people why not shouldn't pay back the favors that they owed to President.WHe helped Ethiopians self rightous freedom struggles and unlike the Aden communist regime,the North Yeman of the Abdallah Saleh's government of Yamen continuously gives the help and the support they needed a various struggling Ethiopia peoples against the tyrant Ahmara Derg regime.You all remeber of cruel Mengistu and his Derg regime wants to wipe out the peoples of Tigray,Eritrea and the Somali Ogadenis during 1980s.of course with help of wars communist pact,they killed from the Air and ground a millions of innoncent Ethiopians,especially the Tigray peoples.I read a book writen by western jourlist reporter who was working at that time for the Red cross in that North part of the country at that time"the untold war story of the struggle of EPLF and TPLF by the western Media" since then I'm well aware the cause of the worldwide known famine which killed a more than a millions Tigrays people in hunger WASN'T coused by natural draught desastars BUT it was rather a man made hangers.The Derg regime wasn't allowed the people of Tigray to reach the donated food ration and not allowed them to flee in naiboring countries.The cruel Ahmara derg regime decided to isolate the people of Tigray until they all dies for lack of foods while their aid foods kept in the government stores! what cruelity of Neftanga.On the other hand the world's ANGO amazingly well awre the crime activitiy of the derg regime.They known the Ration suppllied it was not reaching to the people of Tigray and Eritrea and the Derg regime are forcefully relacting the people of Tigray to wpie out from Ethiopia for good.The author emphysized the awareness of the western,especially the USA the criminal conducts of Ahmara regime against TPLF and EPLF and they had never said a word nor condemoned the cruelity and genocided the Derg committing.instead they keep shipping the food aid to the communist regime of Ahmara Derg.
Therfore,it was then in those hardship days for the people of Tigray and Eritrea when President Abdalla Saleh helping the struggles of both people of TPLF and Eplf.
So whats the fuss in here if that Ato Melese gives him hulter host,the poor and ousted president of the Yeman.Is that a big deal if Ethiopia offer a shullter a president who was a close friend with Ethiopia?
How about the Haile Selesse time when he was runaway for his live and that him and all his Dogs lived in London? come on Neftenga!!
Also that crazy Gadafi one time said similar comments of that " Mengestu and Menelink both were related in blood and their origins roots where from Zembawe.So we believed you if you heard that Gadafi making such comment in public.
john john
What has happened to these guys? They must have head/brain injury since childhood?
Their brain is rotten. These are the representative of Meles? What a shame. How can we expect anything interesting from these dumb individuals?
Doesn't disgraced Saleh no longer can step his foot in Yemen because he is hated and rejected by his own people in his own country mean anything to you?
After decades in power the Yemeni people finally rooted out Saleh and his family and NO country wants to give them refuge. Yet the garbage collector, Meles's mouth is open to take in this garbage. Is this something that gives you pride?
Your brain twisted around Amhara and Neftegna on every issue shows that how you guys have inferiority complex with no brain at all.
Amhara Neftegna, Oromo Neftegna and even many Tigreans are the once who paid the heavy price to bring pride and freedom to all Ethiopians. Yet you don't see that as an honorable service to Ethiopia.
If they were opportunist parasites banda with no brain like you we all would have been slaves of Italians.
you make him look like a dum soldgier for a country governed by mengistu he is smart he pays his due to the west by fighting the religious fanatics he knows how to survive better than gaddafi or mubarek probably smarter than bush or you.
I am sure part of the deal was to provide him with 100,000 hectars of land for free to grow rice and Chat. He and his family will live happily ever after until the Ethiopian people rise up and kick him and his host.
Dictator, Saleh is unfortunate and an idiot.If his coming to Ethiopia is show of solidarity with Zinawi,the terrorist, make no mistake and mark our words, this idiot will first kiss the coffin that is presented to him,then he will pack up himself and will be sent to the receiver,Zinawi, the robber.
If he is exiled to Ethiopia for permanent residency,again, make no mistake,he shall be chained to Zinawi's body and will be kept on a display for years until the chain gets rusted and the filth turns into nothing but pungent smell.
Ben Ali did exile to Saudi and continued enjoying rise,whisky,gambling, and blue movies;well,good for him until one day by the mircal his fate will do and when he is taken to the land where he murdered citizens to bittwely enjoy eternal imprisonment.
As per Zinawi,the criminal,he is definitely in no way thinking of being a residency of Ethiopia;no,no,and no.He has already convinced himslef that it is just a matter of time he being captured and stand for a quick trial and judment. Yes,this criminal is crazy for blood and wealth and is cronically an addict to khat;with khat, he would go crazy on himself and hurt anybody around him. When Zinawi is captured, he will fiest be taken to Saleh for the last a goodby kiss to receive from and to give to;then both will be done appropriately.

Federated a hit among exec women
January 26, 2005-- Home Textiles Today,
CINCINNATI — Federated Department Stores has been named by the National Association for Female Executives (NAFE) as one of "The Top 30 Companies for Executive Women."
According to NAFE, the competition was toughened this year by measuring the percentage of women occupying positions with profit-and-loss (P & L) responsibility. In addition, the NAFE "Top 30" companies must demonstrate at least two women on the board and comprehensive programs and policies that support women's advancement.
At Federated, women fill 65 percent of management positions. Additionally, in senior management ranks, and in P & L roles, more than 50 percent are women.
"Representation of women at all levels of our workforce, including in P & L and other key decision-making roles, is essential to our success in the marketplace, and to providing the best shopping experience for our primarily female customer base," said Corliss Fong, Federated operating vice president for diversity management.

Philip Seymour Hoffman completed 10 days in rehab, PEOPLE confirms.
Crediting "a great group of friends and family" for assistance in getting the necessary help he required, Hoffman, 45, tells TMZ.com that he slowly began with prescription pills and then recently graduated to snorting heroin.
The 2006 Oscar winner for Capote also told the site he had been clean for 23 years, until last year.
The father of three children (Cooper, 10; Tallulah 6, and Willa, 4) with costume designer Mimi O'Donnell, Hoffman will next be seen in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, opening in November.

Media-Blasters went through fire and water to finally get Toho ltd. To release this marvelously awful film, the best of the bad Godzilla movies! All previous torrents are of unauthorized Asian knockoffs; this sucker has been remastered and is a fresh, clean DVD rip. The buzz on the ΓÇÿnet (as of this October 2012 writing) is that the Blu-ray, loaded with extras, will be made available next year. Until then, enjoy a DECENT rip of this magnificent shit-fest! The famous flying drop-kick scene ALONE is worth the download. Godzilla vs. Megalon is a 1973 Japanese science fiction kaiju film produced by Toho. Directed and co-written by Jun Fukuda with special effects by Teruyoshi Nakano, the film starred Katsuhiko Sasaki, Hiroyuki Kawase, Yutaka Hayashi, and American actor Robert Dunham. It was the thirteenth film in the Godzilla franchise. Heavily influenced by the tokusatsu superhero TV shows of the time, the film had Godzilla essentially acting as a costar to a huge robotic superhero character called Jet Jaguar. The film was released theatrically in the United States in the summer of 1976 by Cinema Shares. Afterwards it became the only Godzilla film to receive a television premiere on a major U.S network, as NBC aired it on prime time television in the summer of 1977, where it was hosted by actor John Belushi dressed in a Godzilla costume.

For the second week in a row, the Miami Dolphins lose a game on a field goal in overtime.
The Dolphins were in control for most of the game and looked poised to pull the upset against the undefeated Arizona Cardinals.
Miami had 480 total yards against the Cardinals' 297. It also held the ball for 3:30 more and recorded eight sacks. Yet it still couldn't win.
It shot itself in the foot when it looked like it was running the clock down in the fourth quarter, but the Arizona linebacker got into the backfield before Tannehill could even turn around and forced the fumble that would lead to the game-tying touchdown.
The Cardinals faced two fourth downs in their final drive of regulation, and the Dolphins failed to capitalize.
It was another learning experience, but it's one that might hurt even more than the one last week against the Jets.
Here's a few of the things we learned from Miami's loss.

OSCAR Q&A: Tilda Swinton On 'I Am Love'
After Tilda Swinton won the 2007 Best Supporting Actress award for Michael Clayton, she said that she was giving the Oscar to her American agent Brian Swardstrom in order to calm him down when she is "on the speakerphone telling him I am going to do another art film in Europe." That's exactly what she did, realizing an 11-year dream to bring the Italian film I Am Love (Io Sono L'Amore) to the big screen. It opened in June and became a true specialty success for its American distributor Magnolia. (But, oddly, didn't do well in Italy.) Swinton, who's Scottish, has received nothing but universal praise for her performance as a Russian wife and mother living in Milan with her Italian husband and embroiled in a steamy affair with a younger man. Once again there is Oscar buzz for Swinton, but the odds are longer. It's a small film that opened earlier in the year, but even so Magnolia plans an aggressive campaign to remind voters of the challenges Swinton had making a film in Italian with a Russian accent. Only a small handful of actors have ever won an Oscar working in a foreign language, and, other than Robert DeNiro playing the Sicilian young Don Corleone in The Godfather Part II (1974), no one has grabbed the gold working in a language not their own. Tilda called me this week from London to discuss the film and Oscar:
DEADLINE HOLLYWOOD'S PETE HAMMOND: I was just cruising the Internet and saw a post that says "Will Oscar love Tilda Swinton?" Is it important for you to get that kind of attention in order for people to see a movie like I Am Love?
TILDA SWINTON: Yes, I was involved in a film once in my life that went on a certain treadmill and ended up at a certain [Governor's] Ball. But even then I wasn't really aware of what was going on because it was all Greek to me. All I can say is, having worked on this film for 11 years and made it in Italy with my best friend, I've been astonished that it got any distribution at all let alone widely in the States and very well reviewed in the States. It's wonderful to us that people are even still talking about the film, let alone still seeing it. (As apparently it's still playing in some places.) On the one hand, it's this whole melting pot thing where people start jettisoning their memory of all sort of fantastic films. On the other hand, I suppose people start remembering things that they liked.
PH: You produced the film. Is that becoming increasingly necessary to get these movies made that offer such a great role like this?
SWINTON: Maybe so. It's slightly depressing because it means that maybe other people wouldn't necessarily get these films made. I've always been closely attached to filmmakers in getting films made. I mean Orlando which was re-released this year was something Sally Potter and I pushed up a hill for 5 years before we were able to shoot it. It's really good news for women to see that, if they really want to get films made, then they're going to have to get together with their friends and make them — and not sit around waiting to be asked. Doing it yourself maybe is a model that comes from the independent sector and the European sector. Not sitting around and waiting for Daddy.
PH: You have said the film took you 11 years to get made. You stuck with this why?
SWINTON: It wasn't a question of sticking with something that existed before it came to us. We grew it from scratch. It's like, why do you stick with your children? And actually, when I think about it, yes, this film took 11 years but I've been attached to a number of films and produced them and they've taken that long. It's pretty regular for a personal project. That's an ambitious film that's made in the first case by people who have absolutely no right to think of making a film that ambitious. Most films in my experience take a decade at least. A film like this takes a long time to even get the nerve to dream about it, let alone to develop a script and to get a group together to make it. And then, of course, there's the question of raising the finance. It gets easier and easier if that decade you're working together also involves some members of the team going out and making reputations for themselves. Which means people are prepared to put money into the project. That helps.
PH: Did you think your film would be the success it became here, as it is one of the more successful indie movies?
SWINTON: It's strange because on the one hand "expect" is not really the word. I mean, we dreamed. We were always clear we were making an international film, even though it's an Italian film made in Italian and Russian. One of the things that I've been really gratified to notice is that American and all Anglophile critics have not really been going on about the fact that it's not in English. And I think that was the real hurdle for us to get it out of the small field that meant it was only going to be a foreign language film. But "expect"? No, we dreamed. But getting the film out of Italy was hard enough. Getting the film into Italy was hard enough. It's a film that's probably appreciated less in Italy than anywhere. It was barely shown in Italy. And if your film is not made with a production company title above it, then it can be tricky to get into cinemas.
PH: The Italians did not choose this for their entry into the Foreign Language race.
SWINTON: In a funny way we the producers were not surprised. We were disappointed, but we were not surprised. I had no idea what the criteria were that the selection committee were going by. We thought the Oscars is an American affair, and it's an American prize, and we thought that maybe it would be a good idea to choose a film that had gone well and at least been distributed in America, let alone been well received. Again, another portion of Greek for me.
PH: Was it a challenge for you speaking Italian with the Russian accent?
SWINTON: It was the challenge that one set out years ago to address. But the great thing about it taking so long is you have to spread a challenge over a decade in bite-size pieces. I knew she was going to be an alien. That she wasn't going to speak my language was a relief in many ways. I quite like being outside my own language, particularly someone so silent. But beyond that, no. As I say, this is the great thing about developing something from scratch. I'm not even sure I know where she came from, but she just came from so many books we discussed, and she came from films we discussed, and she came from people that we knew, and she came from someone I hadn't seen for a couple of years. She just felt very easy and that's the way I like it: to feel you're going towards something that feels actually very familiar and very comfortable.
PH: Did winning the Oscar for Michael Clayton open up new doors for you?
SWINTON: I really don't know the answer to that question. But I am prepared to be very enthusiastic about the fact that it is possible that I Am Love would not have had the distribution it had, and would not have had the welcome that it had, without the imprimatur of that. If it helped, I'm really grateful. It then feels to me like a fantastic use of a prize. There's no science of working out whether it is or it isn't, but if it is, then I think it's all good. And there couldn't be a better way of validating a prize than seeing it making a film easier.
Tilda Swinton gave the most amazing performance I have ever seen. If she doesn't win an Oscar for this, I will lose all faith in the Academy.
Tilda Swinton gives one the greatest performances in the last decade in I Am Love. It would be an extreme injustice for the Academy to overlook this performance.
Tilda one of the greats. She speaks so cleary, well and makes so much sense. Not a single thread of superficiality but humility, hard work, passion, realism and sense.
tilda swinton is fucking great in a day and age where no one is fucking great.
Great film and deserves all the praise. One of the more beautiful films to come onto the big screen in the last few years. Seek it out.
Of course winning an Oscar opens up new doors. To be awarded the most prestigious award in the world of cinema by the film capitol of the world does not close doors, or keep things the same, it opens them.
tilda gave a strong performance last year in Julia.
I've heard that Tilda actually lives with both a younder man and an "older" man.
The older man is her ex who is the father of her children and the younger one is her actual companion. Just a very civilized way to keep her children and family all togheter.
"It's a small film that opened earlier this year"…. and may I add that it has been playing nonstop in NYC after all this time. Kudos to Ms. Swinton and her director for a great film experience.
As usual, I was profoundly moved by the depth of her performance.
One of the best and original films in the recent years. It's hard to describe because it has be experienced. Tilda is awesome as always. Hope it willl gets recognized.
I saw "Io Sono Amore" thee times. They weren't enough.
Tilda Swinton gave one of the most brilliant performances by an actor in the last ten years with her role in "I Am Love". But, will the Academy members be able to quell there empathy for Annette Bening and grant Ms. Swinton the golden prize? Unfortunately, I think not.
Just to keep the opinions in balance here, I hated this film with a white-hot passion. It's become a joke between myself & the friend I saw it with. Whenever we see a film we didn't like, we can look at each other and say, "Well, at least it was better than "I Am Love"!
I'd have to agree. Tilda was good, but this movie was a hot mess. I've lived in Europe for the better part of a decade & seen lots of European cinema, so I've seen the good and the oh-so-bad. I saw this film with an Italian from Milan & he hated it, too. Best of luck to Tilda, but I AM LOVE was not worth the price of admission.
Love Tilda, but what about Jackie Weaver and her incredible performance in "Animal Kingdom"???!
Okay, so I am a former film student/amateur filmmaker. I admire Visconti, Antonioni, Bresson and all the filmmakers that seem to have influenced the conception of I Am Love. At no point does the film's intertextuality seem forced, contrived or easily identifiable. I Am Love is assuredly directed and impeccably performed. To Scott M and the amusingly named Mike L I must say – pick friends with better taste. I too have an Italian friend that loved the film, although he was somewhat beguiled by seeing snow in Milan. Although I think Sally Hawkins will win the Oscar for her performance in Made in Dagenham, Tilda Swinton has produced an equally awe-inspiring performance in an extremely well made film about female empowerment – the very best of the year and perhaps the decade.
The film I saw was a predictable love triangle attempting to be stylish. There is a reason that Ms Swinton has received acclaim for playing unpleasant characters. The film is as pretentious as your post.
I saw the movie 5 times and I still can't get enough. It's the most lush film I've seen in quite some time and Tilda's performance was absolute perfection.
I'm so happy to see all the comments above validating my own experience of this work which to me is a rare example of true cinema – and what a profound experience it was! I too hope Tilda Swinton gets nominated for an Academy award. I'm going to start a Facebook Page campaign. Let's see if it can help.

The first stop on this month's culinary trip around the world is Ukraine with Chickenless Kiev. I was very pleased with how this turned out--tender seitan with a creamy, garlicky, filling and a crispy crust. You need to plan ahead to make this dish, but it is totally worth it. You will need to make some "custom-made" chicken seitan by flattening chunks of dough as thin as possible into 6" by 3" rectangles before cooking in broth.
- 6 pieces of chicken seitan, 6" x 3", cooled
- 1/4 cup soft margarine
- 1/4 cup plain soy yogurt
- 1-2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 tbsp dried chives
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1 cup plain soy milk
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 2 cups bread crumbs
Preheat oven to 450 degrees
1. Whisk margarine and yogurt together until well blended. Mix in garlic, chives, salt and pepper.
2. Whisk lemon juice into soy milk until thickened. Put bread crumbs into a flat dish.
3. Spread 1/6 of the yogurt mixture onto a piece of the seitan. Roll tightly and secure with one or two toothpicks. Dip seitan into soy milk mixture, then roll in bread crumbs until well coated. Repeat with remaining seitan.
4. Place seitan in a 9 x 13 baking dish. Bake for 25-30 mins, until bread crumbs are browned.

compilation problem on Thin Clients
Hi all ! We are using CLIENT / SERVER architecture in our college labs. For client we are using thin clients which are having 256 mb of ram and we are using XEON processor based server which is having 2 gb of ram. At a time, 50 clients are connected to the server and the processing which is being used at that time is just 30% hardly. But whenever C program is being compiled, turnaround time increases a lot, no program can be compiled. We are using TURBO C Compiler. I think we should just change the compiler. But I want to have suggestions from the experts here that what are the other options I can go for .................

Must change the header image to something less obscene. Maybe play with the colors, too.
Kick-off is happening soon. Need to get some more caffeine and foodstuffs in me before sitting down to soberly watch the game.
Working on plans for things. Warren Ellis, of all people, is pushing me to do more. I don't know what it is about reading Shivering Sands, but it is fucking with my mindspace.
Tumblr account has things. Mostly links of stuff I want to write about later. In the likely event that I don't, I still have them preserved. Will also allow me to upload music for sharing. Pluses all around.
UPDATE: A new theme. This one has support for widgets, including snippets of the aforementioned Tumblr account. Ditched the theme I had up for the afternoon. It was garish, at best. Plus, I didn't feel like fucking around with a header image. Maybe I'll tweak the CSS for one of the themes so that it'll match the rest of my page. For now, though, I will say that I have chosen to differentiate this blog's theme from that of the rest of my site so as to visually communicate the static and dynamic qualities of the two sections.

The Law of Maintenance and the Obligations Of Lordship: A Case Study
Jonathan Rose
Arizona State University College of Law
January 1, 2013
As part of continuing work on the law of maintenance, in The Law of Maintenance and the Obligations of Lordship: A Case Study, this paper focuses on two important legal and social norms in medieval disputing. Maintenance was a legal concept describing conduct that involved assisting or supporting the litigation of another person. Statutes prohibiting maintenance were an important weapon directed at misuse of the legal system, especially by powerful individuals and officials. Lordship was an important medieval social and political institution. 'Good lordship' meant that lords were supposed to protect and support their tenants, household members, and retainers in their litigation and other disputes. An interesting issue raised by the prohibitions on maintenance is their relationship to the obligations of lordship. To study the relation between lordship and maintenance, he focuses on the mid-15th century litigation involving the servants of Sir John Fastolf, a wealthy and well known 15th century knight. Despite what may appear to be a conflict between the prohibitions on maintenance and obligations of lordship, he concludes that it is doubtful whether the exercise of 'good lordship' was usually illegal maintenance.
