Haiku Friday: RememberingWritten by washwords on September 11, 2009 – 5:07 pm
i remember you
and the laughs, learning, stretching
i didn't count then.
smell of hotel, but
I now lived there, two whole days
on nine-eleven.
I don't remember
how or why i left… and stayed
gone, away, alone.
I only knew: go.
blue hits brown bark , feet concrete
sorry paled, I know.
thought i broke the world
that day. steel spokes, dusty hearts —
that concrete block of ache.
split we must. perhaps.
weren't ready or able then.
new loves get those selves.
still… sorry i am
pale though it does, i cling. might
you remember me?
for more Washwords' (and friends) haikus see Haiku You. Sorry all for the long hiatus… I will try to be back more regularly and more cheerily than these hearbreakingly beautiful September days have me today.

Beautiful Product
Posted by jcdasilva on Oct 06, 2012
These are delicious and tasty groats. I soak them overnight and then add chia and almond/rice milk in the morning and fresh berries/fruit! delicious and raw nutritious breakfast! Great product!
Posted by 4613142442863848488 on Nov 10, 2012
This flour is a regular buy for me, it is dark in colour and full of goodness. Love making pancakes, bread, cakes, well almost everything. A good, reliable company to buy from.
Another great breakfast treat!
Posted by Reviewer2476430 on Nov 17, 2012
Hot cereal in the morning ~ or anytime, especially in winter. Cook in water with a little salt, molasses and butter. I add pecans, blueberries and bananas and coconut milk. This is my all-time favorite breakfast!
5-Star Gluten-Free Whole-Grains~
Posted by JJ2007 on Oct 29, 2013
Anytime I go out on a limb to try new whole-grains, I always have to remind myself to be aware of potential gluten-based dietary issues which may arise with the inclusion of the new whole-grain source. Such was the case with the 'Gluten-Free Millet Seed', which I recently purchased. While it may be an ancient grain from the continent of Asia, it did give me a whopping reaction to it--with bronchitis, as well as a dry cough. Never again! The rest of these bags of 'ancient grains' will go into the bird feeders to feed my chipmunks and feathered friends. The 'Organic Buckwheat Groats' is a different story entirely....This unique (to me) organic whole-grain groat (what's a groat, anyway?) is a delicious replacement food selection for my hot morning cereals which originally were oats and/or muesli. Not only did it keep me satiated and full for many hours after my initial first bowl of groats with lentils, it also did NOT create any reaction in my body, whatsoever. So, let's see now....buckwheat groats is an excellent organic whole-grain choice that's filling and 'sticks-to-your-ribs' for many hours after consumption. It's tasty, wholesome, and very good for my blood-work panels, as well. Buckwheat is my new favorite exchange choice for brown rice, etc. It will remain a necessary pantry staple for years to come. This gluten-free whole-grain selection really hits the spot for me. Win-Win!
Great superfood

I'd never had buckwheat in my life, so when I found it in iHerb's catalogue at so convenient a price, I decided to get it. Buckwheat does not have a very strong flavour or anything, but that makes it ideal to have it as a savoury side--with sauteed mushrooms and caramelized onions is delicious--or as a hot cereal in the morning. If you're looking for a more nutritious alternative to oats, look no more--have buckwheat. Ok, it is more expensive than oats, but it's worth it.
Love it

good for making dehydrated or toasted buckwheat for crunchy cereal.
Posted by Reviewer1621172 on Mar 25, 2010
I soak it overnight, rinse it and dehydrate until crispy to make healthy breakfast cereal. I like it .
Another great grain ....
Posted by Reviewer1615634 on Aug 16, 2010
As a vegetarian, I am always looking for a new taste and texture to add to my pilafs and casseroles. Bib's Red Mill products have always been high quality and fairly priced ... so when I found these organic buckwheat groats, I decided to give them a try. .... andI was not disappointed ! Use in place of just about any grain in your recipes and you will be pleasantly surprised. Great tasting and good for you AND iHerb offers good pricing. YES - I highly recommend Bob's buckwheat groats.
Posted by Reviewer1582777 on Nov 18, 2010
I'm very happy to have found these for delivery to Japan. I love buckwheat, and can do these in the rice cooker. I'm stil experimenting with the best grain:water ratio though! These are a nice chunky grain, and tatse really good.

Hakonechloa are one of the best ornamental grass choices for shade. Likes a moist humusy soil, and good drainage. Cascades handsomely over itself. Ornamental grasses are restricted from Oregon.
Prefers a uniformly moist, humus-rich soil in partial shade. If division is desired it should be done in the spring as new growth develops. In Northern zones plants will benefit from a layer of mulch for winter.
Our plants are all grown in plantable fiber pots that grow incredibly vigorous plants, eliminate transplant shock, and are 100% biodegradable. They have tremendous advantages over plastic pots.

In getting Hagi SOs together, a lot of thinking etc. goes on prior to the announcing of an SO. Often I am going on a leap of faith which has worked out well so far, "knock on wood." I will pick a few brains out there as well, make sure I am somewhat grounded in this HagiMania.
But I will be posting a series of topics seeking member input.
I have tended to focus on the piece itself and then negotiating for a below market value for unique and limited run Hagi SOs. I make sure we also receive authentic wood boxes. But my primary focus is always on the actual Hagi pieces, making sure they are indeed "Special" offers!!!
When it comes to boxes, there are many options, and they all cost more money. Spending a lot more for upgraded woods and the like seems to not be "value" oriented and in line with SOs. I would rather have a nicer Hagi piece than a more fancy wood.
However tie boxes do not add much to the cost of a Hagi SO, but it is an added cost nevertheless, and it is all or none. So while I might not mind adding say $5 or so on for the tie style boxes, my thinking might not be universal. I can honestly live with or w/o the ties, but it is an interesting and nice option. So I wanted to hear what you all had to say!!!

Smiling For the Camera
Pauline's confidence inspired other Real Women that they, too, can look and feel great.
Our recent series from the Amoena Life magazine included Pauline's story: In 2001 she underwent a lumpectomy, followed soon thereafter by chemo and mastectomy.
The opening ceremonies of 2012's Summer Olympics showed the world, in spectacular fashion, that the UK's National Health System (NHS) is a point of great pride in the United Kingdom – and Pauline credits it for her excellent medical care throughout an ongoing cancer journey. "The dedication and access to treatments has been fantastic," she says. Able to receive medications through drug trials and the National Cancer Drugs fund, she recognises that this system is helping her live life to the fullest while she continues to battle secondary cancer in her liver. (At the time of this writing [September 2012] the liver cancer was thankfully in regression.)
She was disappointed when costs and NICE (National Institute for Health & Clinical Excellence) guidelines required her to be taken off Herceptin after three and a half years, while other women continue on it longer in the hopes of slowing down the disease. Otherwise, she's had strong medical support.
Beautiful bra and panty sets like Rebecca helped Pauline feel pretty after surgery. See our entire bra collection.
After her first treatment round, Pauline experienced the fear of "What if it comes back?" which she knows is universal. "I think that never leaves your emotions and thoughts. I know ladies after 20 years who still have that fear." But she also knows there is life after cancer. Reading Amoena Life really helped her feel less alone, she says. After her first fitting in a lacy Amoena bra, she helped the magazine in return! During this time, Pauline had joined a new support group consisting of younger ladies diagnosed with breast cancer who had had mastectomies too. "When we met up and got chatting, it was often about the same topic – we all wanted more colourful and exciting lingerie to help with our body image and of course to feel great!" But as they looked at the catalogues together, they knew the models were professionals, not survivors.
She and her friends wrote in, suggesting that "real women" should serve as models alongside the professional models. "We wanted more ladies to think, 'Well, we could look great in that, too!'" Pauline modelled swimwear for us in 2005, and had a great time.
She has now had reconstruction, but continues to wear Amoena bras and tops, and loves them!

Nautic Global Group Creates New High-Level Customer Service Role
October 5, 2012
In response to increasing boat sales and a rapidly expanding worldwide dealer network, Nautic Global Group has named Natalie Thomas to the newly created position of Director of Customer Service.
Thomas, who has extensive customer service process experience with Harmon Automotive, NIBCO and Delta Faucet Company, will design, implement and oversee customer service initiatives across many areas including parts, sales coordination, warranty and process improvement.
"We are seeing a tremendous increase in business, and that presents all kinds of new challenges," said Jim Orbik, Chief Operating Officer for Nautic Global Group. "In an effort to stay ahead of these challenges and continue to deliver the high level of service expected by our dealer partners, we have created this new position. Natalie will bring a fresh new vision and an incredible amount of energy to this important role."
While individual departments have previously been responsible for integrating customer service programs, Thomas will now oversee all initiatives to ensure consistency and proper accountability. She will be located in the company's Elkhart, Indiana, corporate offices, and will report directly to Orbik.
"It's refreshing to see a company as committed to delivering superior customer service as Nautic Global Group," Thomas said. "I'm excited and honored to be here, and I am ready to hit the ground running to help raise the bar for both our dealers and consumers."

It is important that all of our council resources are aligned toward helping Girl Scouts of the Missouri Heartland achieve the competitive focus and the five strategic priorities that emerged from our Strategic Learning process. One of our largest resources is our council staff. We needed to make some changes to our staff structure to better position us to achieve our competitive focus of building council capacity to provide quality service delivery to service units and troops. Our new staff structure will take effect on July 2.
In our new staff structure, we eliminated eleven positions and added twelve positions back. The positions we eliminated were Sr. Membership Manager, Sr. Leadership Program Manager, Sr. Volunteer Development Manager, Leadership Program Specialist (6), Volunteer Development Specialist and E-Media Specialist. We are taking a new approach to delivering membership, volunteerism and program (MVP) services to our membership. These services will now be delivered through three regional teams, one assigned to each of our three council regions. These teams will be led by the new position of regional manager, who will be responsible for ensuring quality service delivery in their regions. These regional managers will supervise teams of membership and marketing specialists (MMS) and leadership and learning specialists (LLS). There will be two LLS in each region – one specializing in the delivery of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience and the other specializing in volunteer development. The three regional teams are:
Central Region
Regional Manager – Carolyn Imhoff
Membership and Marketing Specialists – Angela Peth, Sarah Smith, Megan White and Sherrey Young
Leadership and Learning Specialist (GSLE) – Karen Lawrence
Leadership and Learning Specialist (Volunteerism) – Julie Wall
Southeast Region
Regional Manager – Kara Glaus
Membership and Marketing Specialists – Casi Cameron, Alyx Chevalier, Amber Moyers and one position to be filled
Leadership and Learning Specialist (GSLE) – April Isbell
Leadership and Learning Specialist (Volunteerism – Shirley Stevens
Southwest Region
Regional Manager – Anne Hyde
Membership and Marketing Specialists – Shandon Hill, Dawn Irvine, Becky Ledbetter, Melissa Stark, Candice Wolf and one position to be filled
Leadership and Learning Specialist (GSLE) – Stefanie McCall
Leadership and Learning Specialist (Volunteerism ) – Melody Hutchison
Three new positions have been included to provide better services for our membership:
- Leadership and Learning Specialist (Outdoor) – Keely Elfrink – responsible for resident camp management and providing increased outdoor opportunities across the council
- CES Manager/Website Administrator – Liam Watts – responsible for council data management and website administration
- PR/Digital Media Manager – Lori Enyart- responsible for social media and localized public relations efforts

Any tips on caring for these delicate bamboo implements? I'm trying to be gentle, but I've already broken a couple tines.
Here are the two techniques I've used:
1) Avoid clumps by stirring matcha into a splash of cold water to create a paste. This requires brushing the whisk against the bottom of the bowl, and has been responsible for my broken tines.
2) Avoid clumps by pressing matcha through a sieve, and whisking tea without touching whisk to bowl. This obviously spares any wear and tear on the chasen, but I find that my tea is still a bit clumpy, and not as smooth as method #1.

Primera Plastic Surgerywww.wedofaces.com
Primera Plastic Surgery is an expansive, multi-location practice that meets the head-to-toe aesthetic needs of patients throughout the Orlando metro area. As the founder of this surgical center, medical spa and salon Dr. Edward Gross wanted a cohesive site that emphasized his brand on every page. With a clean design based on Primera's existing logo, our creative team was able to develop a beautiful, easily navigable site that encourages potential patients to get educated and take action.
Get to know your doctor
Dr. Gross is widely known for his advancements in facial plastic surgery and skin care. We wanted to feature this "rock star" doctor prominently, and did so with captivating images of the surgeon and his staff in action.
"Rhinoplasty is arguably the most challenging of all plastic surgery procedures, requiring 3-dimensional knowledge of anatomy and nasal function, and an artistic eye for beauty."
– Dr. Gross
Primera is a leader in their market. They had a ton of great information and assets on their old site, but it was convoluted. We worked with Dr. Gross and his team to reorganize things to make it more accessible to the visitor. Plus, the redesign won a pretty nice award, too!"
Scot Burns
Account Executive
It's all here
To reinforce the full-service, patient-centered messaging of the brand, we showcased Primera's upscale facility, which features a luxurious salon & spa in addition to an AAAASF-accredited surgical and recovery facility.
On Page Photo Gallery
Etna added on-page photo galleries to Primera's procedure pages, allowing prospective patients to get the full picture. This unique feature works as an interactive visual aid, breaking up and enhancing the copy while providing patients with a more complete understanding of their desired procedures.
Video Testimonials
Hearing reviews from previous patients is often the little nudge prospective patients need to contact a practice. With on-page video testimonials and informative clips from the doctor, patients are better prepared for both the surgical experience and their interactions with the medical and office staff.

The phylum Entoprocta (=Kamptozoa) includes around 180 known species (Iseto and Hirose 2010) and the actual world fauna likely exceeds 500 species (Nielsen 1989). Entoprocts are small, transparent, sessile (i.e., fixed to the substrate), solitary or colonial animals that superficially resemble cnidarian hydroids and ectoprocts ( = bryozoans in some usage, see below). They are largely radially symmetrical. Entoprocts are found along the coasts of every continent, including Antarctica. All but two known species are marine, but one of the two freshwater species, Urnatella gracilis, is known from every continent except Antarctica and, in contrast to other entoprocts, forms massive growths that may be quite conspicuous to the naked eye (Nielsen 1989).
Colonial entoprocts (around a quarter of known species, Nielsen 2010) may live attached to algae, shells, rocks, or other living or non-living substrates. Solitary species may be commensal on a variety of hosts, such as sponges, ectoprocts, polychaetes, sipunculans, and ascidians and are typically associated with just one or a few host species. Some solitary entoprocts are found on non-living substrates. Although entoprocts are found mainly in shallow water such as in the intertidal zone, some species may occur to depths as great as 500 meters.
(Brusca and Brusca 2003; Fuchs et al. 2010; Margulis and Chapman 2010)
Entoprocts are suspension feeders, extracting food particles (mainly phytoplankton) from currents produced by the lateral cilia on their tentacles. The dorsal suface of these animals is attached to the stalk and the ventral side faces upward. Water currents pass from dorsal to ventral, flowing between the tentacles. Food is trapped by the lateral cilia and moved in a sheet of mucus to the frontal cilia, which move the mucus and food to food grooves at the base of the ring of tentacles. (Brusca and Brusca 2003)
Colony growth occurs by budding. Solitary forms also reproduce by budding. Sexual reproduction occurs as well. Colonial forms may have hermaphroditic or (more commonly) dioecious (i.e., separate sex) zooids, and a colony may contain just one or both sexes. Larvae are typically free-swimming and planktotrophic (i.e., feeding in the water column), although a few species produce lecithotrophic (non-feeding) or benthic crawling larvae. Following a brief swimming phase, larvae of most species settle, affix to a substrate, and metamorphose into adults (larvae of a few species do not metamorphose but bud instead). (Brusca and Brusca 2003; Fuchs et al. 2010)
During most of the 18th and 19th centuries, entoprocts and ectoprocts were included together in the phylum Bryozoa. For most of the 20th century, however, the Entoprocta have been treated as a distinct phylum that may not even be closely related to the ectoprocts (with the ectoprocts being referred to as either Ectoprocta or Bryozoa). Beginning in the 1970s, some authors have been arguing that the entoprocts and ectoprocts may indeed be very closely related (Nielsen 2001 and references therein). Recently, some molecular data have supported this position (Hausdorf et al. 2007; Hejnol et al. 2009), although it appears that the sister group to Ectoprocta may be (Entoprocta + Cycliophora), as was originally suggested by Funch and Kristensen (1995). However, some other analyses have suggested that Ectoprocta may not be very close to (Entoprocta + Cycliophora) (Passamaneck & Halanych 2006; Hejnol et al. 2009; Fuchs et al. 2010; Mallatt et al. 2010).

Results tagged "celebrity" from critical difference
Last weekend, I was book browsing in Chelsea when an excited young man -- a friend of the shop, I gathered -- came in and said to the clerks at the front, "Guess who I just passed on the street." He paused for one dramatic beat, then announced his celebrity haul: "Colin Firth." Colin Firth, the BBC incarnation of Mr. Darcy; Colin Firth, whose face on the cover of the new edition is selling copies of Christopher Isherwood's 1964 novel, "A Single Man."
Hearing this news, both female clerks deflated as instantly as I did, all of us slouching with envy. Then one of them dashed out the door, coatless, to try to spot him, too.

President Barack Obama delivered remarks on ending the war in Iraq at the White House on October 21, 2011. President Obama said:
"...As Commander-in-Chief, ensuring the success of this strategy has been one of my highest national security priorities. Last year, I announced the end to our combat mission in Iraq. And to date, we've removed more than 100,000 troops. Iraqis have taken full responsibility for their country's security.
"A few hours ago I spoke with Iraqi Prime Minister Maliki. I reaffirmed that the United States keeps its commitments. He spoke of the determination of the Iraqi people to forge their own future. We are in full agreement about how to move forward.
"So today, I can report that, as promised, the rest of our troops in Iraq will come home by the end of the year. After nearly nine years, America's war in Iraq will be over.
"Over the next two months, our troops in Iraq -- tens of thousands of them -- will pack up their gear and board convoys for the journey home. The last American soldier[s] will cross the border out of Iraq with their heads held high, proud of their success, and knowing that the American people stand united in our support for our troops. That is how America's military efforts in Iraq will end.
"But even as we mark this important milestone, we're also moving into a new phase in the relationship between the United States and Iraq. As of January 1st, and in keeping with our Strategic Framework Agreement with Iraq, it will be a normal relationship between sovereign nations, an equal partnership based on mutual interests and mutual respect.
"In today's conversation, Prime Minister Maliki and I agreed that a meeting of the Higher Coordinating Committee of the Strategic Framework Agreement will convene in the coming weeks. And I invited the Prime Minister to come to the White House in December, as we plan for all the important work that we have to do together. This will be a strong and enduring partnership. With our diplomats and civilian advisors in the lead, we'll help Iraqis strengthen institutions that are just, representative and accountable. We'll build new ties of trade and of commerce, culture and education, that unleash the potential of the Iraqi people. We'll partner with an Iraq that contributes to regional security and peace, just as we insist that other nations respect Iraq's sovereignty.
"As I told Prime Minister Maliki, we will continue discussions on how we might help Iraq train and equip its forces -- again, just as we offer training and assistance to countries around the world. After all, there will be some difficult days ahead for Iraq, and the United States will continue to have an interest in an Iraq that is stable, secure and self-reliant. Just as Iraqis have persevered through war, I'm confident that they can build a future worthy of their history as a cradle of civilization."
The President continued, "...The drawdown in Iraq allowed us to refocus our fight against al Qaeda and achieve major victories against its leadership -- including Osama bin Laden. Now, even as we remove our last troops from Iraq, we're beginning to bring our troops home from Afghanistan, where we've begun a transition to Afghan security in leadership. When I took office, roughly 180,000 troops were deployed in both these wars. And by the end of this year that number will be cut in half, and make no mistake: It will continue to go down.
"Meanwhile, yesterday marked the definitive end of the Qaddafi regime in Libya. And there, too, our military played a critical role in shaping a situation on the ground in which the Libyan people can build their own future. Today, NATO is working to bring this successful mission to a close.
"So to sum up, the United States is moving forward from a position of strength. The long war in Iraq will come to an end by the end of this year. The transition in Afghanistan is moving forward, and our troops are finally coming home. As they do, fewer deployments and more time training will help keep our military the very best in the world. And as we welcome home our newest veterans, we'll never stop working to give them and their families the care, the benefits and the opportunities that they have earned.
"This includes enlisting our veterans in the greatest challenge that we now face as a nation -- creating opportunity and jobs in this country. Because after a decade of war, the nation that we need to build -- and the nation that we will build -- is our own; an America that sees its economic strength restored just as we've restored our leadership around the globe."

Eric in New Mexico writes:
It can be said that every decision made in life is a bit of a gamble on the future, made on the probabilities of creating the reality one seeks...
"And finally, I would note that the end of war in Iraq reflects a larger transition. The tide of war is receding."
...as is the assesments made in determining one's probability of success as a rational means of decision making.
An interesting choice of words, "the tide of war..." implying a natural ebb and flow in a most unnaturally occuring human activity, unless of course one makes the assesment that war is completely consistant with human nature throughout all of human history. Both may be true enough.
But this is a far broader debate than candidate Obama's promise he is keeping today as President to both the American and Iraqi peoples...and whether the tide of war is "receding" or not.
Certainly such a perspective is one enjoyed by victors in struggle based upon a position of strength, just as the Libyan people have turned the tide, and the war waged upon them by Ghaddafi is receding at this moment into memory as celebrations begin the therapy phase of "regime replacement therapy".
The gamble they took in removing Ghaddafi by force is not so different from the gamble George W. Bush took in removing Saddam Hussein. Not so much in whether a regime could be removed or not from power, but whether what would replace it would create the reality as change people can live with for generations to come.
For both the choice was clear cut, as the alternative in allowing dictators to determine the destiny of others really sucked any way folks looked at the status quo.
We, a nation born of war waged upon the totalitarianism of tyrants to end their terror of oppression; a struggle that has never ended even though at times it has turned inward as it did in the civil war that ended slavery in America, and in peaceful protest by MLK to force this government to honor the words written in our founding documents, to make real and manifest the promise that is our people's to keep of ourselves, by and for the love of life, liberty and the persuit of happiness.
A gamble no different than the gamble George W. Bush took on both the people of Afghanistan and Iraq that they would seek and find ownership of their own destiny, so long as the opportunity to seek change they could live with was a reach-out-and-touch reality presented to them as a gamble they may make upon their own success as nation builders.
A gamble we have taken as a pretty safe bet on human nature and human potential through US foreign policy for a very long time in every conflict we've been involved in.
It is essential then for the leaders of this nation to make the fundemental realization that these are not separate wars waged fought and won for different reasons, but one "endless" war waged upon a sinister mindset since our inception as a nation, on many battlefields, on every continent, in every courtroom, in all the halls of governments everywhere, on every street in every city, and in every town square, in whatever form totalitarianism rears its ugly head to deny a people their potential to live life "in larger freedom". Such is our influence upon the world stage.
Is it then the tide of war receding, or totalitarianism itself receding as a result of meeting the challenges before us as guardians of humanity and its potential?
Ever vigilent we must be, as it is also human nature for prejudice, hatred, and apathy to allow totalitarianism to come into existance in the first place.
The work is far from done if never ever finished, and this comment be just a pause for thought inundated in the tide-pool of human evolution.

War and Peace!
I can still remember the days being in Iraq years ago. The sounds of AK-47 rounds, Motar rounds, Sadr City light up like a Christmas tree, while going to the chow hall, having rounds fired over our heads. The constant day and night shellings. Learning the incoming/outgooing rounds of the base. A Sunday morning, conducting inventory on fire fighting equipment on a laptop, a surprise happened. When the 1St Calvary armed soldiers came into a connex where I worked and said, "go to your bunker asap" and after getting in the bunker, learned that the Iraqis had placed a live "Improvosed Explosive Device" behind where we all were working. I can personally add that if 1St Calvary didn't arrive, I wouldn't be making this message today. Thanks for the great guys at 1St Calv. The Boom you could hear for miles once they had a controlled destruction of the weapon. I think we are glad this war is finally over. We are glad to see that Saddam Hussain was tried by his own people and Justice was served. As with Col. Qhadafi in Libya. It just goes to show that in the end people will decide their own faith with leaders and establishing freedoms in their country. The voice of the people spoke. I can only hope that Freedom will ring into these countries. Countries like Iran, Syria, Yeman, Bahrain & Jordan, should be on notice the future is coming!
People are the backbone of any nation. Taking them for granted and or abusing your people, destroying your own people, men or women are NOT Gods. There is be ONLY one God in the world. People just practise different religions. People need freedoms to live freely.
Maureen in Massachusetts writes:
@ Eric in New Mexico --
Je pense donc je suis... Your comments are most thought provoking.
@ Donald M. in Virginia --
Thanks for your personal account. We should never take for granted our security and freedom given the sacrifices made daily for the pursuit of peace.
Zharkov in the U.S.A. writes:
So when does the radiological decontamination of Iraq begin?
The US has staged four wars to spread nuclear waste since 1991 - using illegal DU dirty bombs, dirty missiles and dirty bullets as radiological weapons and released an amount of radiation into the atmosphere which is at least ten times more radiation than the equivalent of 40,000 Hiroshima bombs, released during atmospheric testing.
In June 2003, the WHO predicted in a press release that cancer will increase 50% globally by the year 2020, which can only be from an environmental cause.
Already medical and scientific journals are reporting mysterious increases of infant mortality in 20 regions of Europe (Lancet Jan. 2004), the UK (Guardian Aug. 2004), and the US (New Scientist Feb.2004).
Infant mortality should be decreasing now as a continuing trend for more than a century because of improved education and prenatal care, instead it is increasing in the US for the first time in 45 years with no identified cause. For radiation specialists, infant mortality is the most sensitive indicator of radioactive pollution, a response researchers have identified as a result of exposure to low level radiation from atmospheric testing and nuclear power plant accidents, releases, and startups.
The global pollution from thousands of tons of DU in nano-size particles traveling around the earth and being deposited in the global environment will have a devastating long-term effect.
Not only will it cause illnesses and genetic mutations in the future generations of those internally exposed, but it will have a depopulating effect long proposed by the US military. DU is the perfect weapon delivering nanoparticles of poison, radiation, and nano-pollution - the real killer - directly into living cells where they cause the cells to go haywire and disfunctional.
The liars who claim radiation is good for people should have a look at the horribly deformed babies being born in Iraq. It's the ingested DU particles and not merely the radiation that is killing them.
Eric in New Mexico writes:
Geez Z, that's stooping pretty low,... fabricating stories of mutated Iraqi babies geneticly modified directly due to depleted uranium rounds just to get your ya ya's out on Dipnote by twisting facts to suit your fantasies.
With all due respect for folks that do have something other than conspiracies on the mind, perhaps you'd accomodate reality once in awhile?
Now if it's mutant babies that you fancy, try Googling the old Soviet era nuclear testing grounds and the effect it had on the region's population, then we can discuss the dangers of radiological contamination if you'd like.
The things folks keep in jars...(sic)...,
Eric in New Mexico writes:
@ Maureen in Mass.,
I am, therefore I think...(chuckle)...and the flip side of inspiring others to think is that when you ask folks in this gov. to make a fundemental realization, often times I've gotten an immediate response letting me know they "got it".
As such, here's proof;
SECRETARY CLINTON: Well, first of all, we are all very moved by and grateful for the sacrifices of our men and women, those who lost their lives, those who were grievously injured. They will never be forgotten, and what they did should be honored in our country's history forever.
The point of our involvement in Iraq, stated over and over again by people on both sides of the aisle, was to create the opportunity for the Iraqis to have their own future without the oppression of a dictator like Saddam Hussein. Now you can't, on the one hand, say you're all for democracy and sovereignty and independence, where people get to make their own choices, and on the other hand say that when a choice is made that is foreseen by our own government, going back to the Bush Administration and validated by the Obama Administration and the current government in Iraq, that that somehow is not appropriate. Because that is what we were there for – to give the Iraqi people the chance to make their own decisions.

Erin in Washington, D.C. writes:
This was very exciting news at the time when President Obama released his statement. Now, as December approaches, Americans are awaiting the return of our friends and family members. As a young adult, I acknowledge that the United States has been at war in Iraq for most of my personal memory of politics. I can't help but be hopeful that ending the war in Iraq will be a step toward altering many Americans' views of the country and its people. Over the past decade, religious and racial stereotyping have led to an overwhelming amount of misdirected hate and prejudice in the United States and elsewhere. When we demonstrate this kind of ignorance and intolerance of total strangers, it violates the principles on which our country was created.
While President Obama talks about trade relationships and jobs as a result of ending this war, I hope it also encourages increased cultural understanding and acceptance. Politics may find a way to justify a war, but there is no way for human nature to justify cultural intolerance on a personal level. The president's announcement will hopefully move both countries forward to create a more understanding and mutually beneficial relationship in the coming years.

In short: Great prep for First marathonIn full: This was my first 20 miler and was definitely better than doing my normal LSR running around where I live, trying to clock up the miles. Having read previous reviews I was a bit worried about the hills but they were fine in the end and really helped me run slow enough so I didn't burn out! I really wanted to get to the end and think that another 6 miles would be a possibility and.. I did. I came 779th out of 793 but I ran the whole thing and now I feel fantastic! Just sat here in my prize hoodie typing this.Eveyone was really friendly including all the fast runners and the lovely marshalls. People kept running past saying 'well done ladies' or 'good running girls'. Nothing like a bit of encouragement to motivate you to keep running when you're on 10 and they're on 16! The first lap of 12 miles meets up with the second lap of 8 miles you see, so whilst the fast ones are on the home straight, you're about to start again on your last 8. The fast ones turn off for the finish but I had to keep going. The funniest thing was they only had to look at me to know that I had to go around again. 'How do they know, how do they know?' The good thing about it was that when you get to the end of the 12, you can pop in the portaloo for a wee before beginning your 8. The very end of the race was quite bizarre becaue you end up running around a housing estate and then through an alleyway or two before ending up on the school field. Still had something left for a little sprint to make sure I came in under 4 hours - awesome! If you are a beginner and have been doing your marathon training and want to do a 20 miler beforehand, just do it.You will wonder why you entered at mile 3 and 7, you may even find yourself thinking about slipping off back to your car at mile 12, but just keep chipping away, mile by mile cos when you finish you will feel on top of the world!!Date of review: March 28, 2010
In short: A great race with the testing hills on the first lap!In full: The race is well organised with excellent marshalling at all required points on the course. The sweatshirt is excellent - no adverts just celebrating the race. The weather today was very kind with the sun and light cloud making for good racing conditions. The start is a bit limited on road space - especially as may runners parked on the race route at the start. The showers and changing facilities were good - hot water even for the 3 hour runners!Date of review: March 28, 2010
In short: Hilly in places but well organised with showers etc at the end. Will be attending again for sure.Date of review: March 28, 2010
In short: Great practice for London, well organised and enouraging marshalllsIn full: Loved the marshalls at Stevington cross road - thank you! Great run, lovely atmosphere and wonderful organisation. Tried and tested London marathon plan, it worked. Really enjoyed the run - Bedford Harriers runners were supportive and friendly round the course. Will only be back if I enter a marathon again!!! The marshalls on Oakley bridges even managed to contend with a tractor in the middle of us runners.Date of review: March 28, 2010
In short: V well Organised - as ever Marshall brilliant In full: Undualtating at the least - no big hills - organisation excellent - marshalls lots of them and all smiling - brilliant - only gripe that last half mile through the housing estate and around the field - began to lose the will to live - and I'm now officially a chav with my own hoodie!!!!

Idris, Yusuf
Yusuf Idris 1927-1991
(Transliterated as Yūsef Idrīs, Youssef Idris, and Yûsuf Idrîs) Egyptian short-story writer, novelist, playwright, travel writer, editor, essayist, and critic.
The following entry presents criticism on Idris's short fiction from 1975 through 2001.
Regarded as one of the best short-story writers in contemporary Egyptian literature, Idris is lauded for his stories and novellas that portray the changing values of Egyptian society during the twentieth century. Critics note that he was one of the few Arabic authors to realistically address issues of homosexuality, sexual impotence, poverty, sexual and cultural mores, and the dangers of religious fundamentalism.
Biographical Information
Idris was born in Bairum, Sharqiva Province, in Egypt, on May 19, 1927. He was educated at Cairo University, where he received an M.D. in 1952. Soon after graduation, he became a medical inspector in the Department of Health, a position that involved working with the urban poor. His concern for the poor and disenfranchised became a recurring theme in his work. While in college, he began to write stories. In 1954, he published his first collection of short stories, Arkhas layālī (The Cheapest Nights and Other Stories). The volume was hailed as a major literary contribution to Egyptian short fiction. He worked as a physician and a psychiatrist for over a decade, but gave up his medical practice in the mid-1960s to focus on his literary career. His interest in science is reflected in his fiction and journalism. In 1967 Idris was awarded the Naguib Mahfouz Medal for Literature for his collection of short stories Qissat hubb (City of Love and Ashes). He later became politically active, and his leftist political views resulted in several arrests and brief imprisonments. In the mid-1970s he began focusing on journalistic work for the newspapers Al-Jumhūriyya and Al-Ahrām. Later though, Idris redirected his attention to short fiction as well as critical essays. He died in August 1991.
Major Works of Short Fiction
Idris was a prolific short fiction writer whose work focuses on such themes as love, repression, poverty, alienation, and the concept of masculinity. Sex is a central theme in his work, particularly the various sexual mores in the villages and in urban areas. Several stories explore the inherent iniquity in sexual relationships between men and women from different sociopolitical backgrounds. For example, Qā'al-Madīna (1959; City Dregs) chronicles the story of 'Abd Allah, a judge, who confronts his servant and lover, Shuhrat, when he discovers his expensive watch missing. Although he had once felt guilty because of his powerful position and her vulnerable one, her theft now frees him from any emotional and sexual connections to her; however, he also becomes aware of how illogical and hypocritical his own values are. In "Akbar al-Kabā'ir" ("The Greatest Sin of All"), as Shaykh Sadiq becomes increasingly devout, he neglects his farm and wife. She eventually seeks comfort in the arms of a young, poor man named Muhammad. Idris also touched on the theme of homosexuality in a few of his stories—a subject taboo in Egyptian literature. "Abū al-Rijāl" ("A Leader of Men") depicts the shocking realization of Sultan, a married, powerful, masculine man, that he has been repressing his homosexuality during his entire life. When he pressures one of his young male servants to have sex with him—and take the dominant role in the sexual encounter—his façade as a strong, virile leader has completely overturned.
Many of Idris's stories reflect his concern with such issues as Egypt's soaring birth population, the denial of civil liberties in a repressive society, the growth of religious fanaticism, and the devastating poverty and hopelessness in urban areas. In "Arkhas Layālī" ("The Cheapest Nights"), a middle-class man walks disoriented through the streets of a busy village. Annoyed by the mass of poor children teeming around him, he wonders why there are so many children and speculates with satisfaction that many of them will die of crime or starvation. Finding his way home, he crawls into bed and has sexual relations with his wife. Nine months later, he is congratulated on the birth of his child. In "Al-Mahfaza" ("The Wallet"), Sami, a young boy, is resentful of his family's poverty when he can't afford to go to the movies with his friends. One night, he sneaks into his parents' room while they are sleeping to steal money from his father's wallet. When he finds the wallet empty, he is overcome by shame and resolves to find a job to help his family with expenses. Other stories reflect the changing political and social situation in Egypt as well as the relationship between the individual and society. In "Alif al-Ahrār," a man obsesses about his loss of individuality in a job that demands conformity. When he refuses to use his typewriter in an act of defiance, he is fired and told that he is expendable.
Critical Reception
Idris is viewed as one of Egypt's finest short-story writers. His prolific output of short stories, particularly in the mid-1950s, was welcomed as a new direction in Egyptian fiction. Critics point to his rejection of the romantic tendencies of Arabic literature at the time in favor of a realistic portrayal of Egyptian society—especially the poorer and disadvantaged classes—as innovative and authentic. Idris utilized colloquial language in his dialogue to mixed reviews among Arab commentators: some critics derided it as lazy and inferior; others saw it as an authentic reflection of the changing Egyptian culture. His incorporation of political and cultural themes have led some critics to view his stories as shrewd reflections of the state of Egypt as it struggled to become an independent modern nation. Reviewers have praised his fantastic tales for their adept utilization of fable and myth. He is deemed a pioneering writer based on treatment of such sensitive topics as homosexuality, sexual impotence, and the danger of religious fundamentalism. Several critics have discussed Idris's stories within the development of the Egyptian short story genre and have traced his development as a short fiction writer. Moreover, critics often compare Idris's short stories to the short fiction of the Egyptian Nobel writer Naguib Mahfouz. Idris is viewed as a gifted and important short-story writer who made a valuable and influential contribution to Arabic literature.

[In the following essay, Allen traces Idris's development as a short fiction writer and assesses his contribution to modern Arabic fiction.]
Yūsuf Idrīs is one of the most famous Egyptian writers of the latter half of this century, and his fame transcends national boundaries within the Arab world itself. He has written short stories, novels and novellas, and plays; to each of these genres he has made important contributions. Through his writings he has urged fellow...

[In the following essay, Mikhail finds parallels in the portrayal of sex and love in the short stories of Idris and Naguib Mahfouz.]
The short stories of Naguib Mahfouz and Yusuf Idris, and indeed a great many stories of other Egyptian writers, do not present any systematic love ethic by which they can be characterized or measured. They tend to embody perhaps more of a romantic yearning for absolutes than a traditional notion of love. The romantic treatment...

Yūsuf Idrīs's first published work, a collection of short stories entitled Arkhas Layālī (The Cheapest Nights), appeared in 1954. He is perhaps the most prominent of a number of younger Egyptian writers whose vitality and forcefulness at that time reflected their sense of identification with the course of events in their country during the 1950s, and particularly the Revolution...

Ever since his first collection of short stories appeared in 1954, Yūsuf Idrīs has been generally recognised as the genre's leading representative among the artists who rose to prominence with the 1952 Revolution.2 Therefore it is all the more astonishing that his production in this field by no means received the earnest attention from Egyptian critics which, by their unanimous judgement, it...

[In the following essay, Cohen offers a psychoanalytical interpretation of "The Journey."]
"The Journey" is a short story which is included in Yūsuf Idrīs's tenth collection called House of Flesh (Cairo, 1971). The story is written in the form of a monologue and in the technique of the stream of consciousness.
It starts with a confession of love to a man. In the beginning it is not clear who the speaker is and the reader is tempted to think that it is a woman addressing her lover. Only...

[In the following essay, Somekh considers acoustic and rhythmic elements of Idris's short stories.]
During the last three decades, Yūsuf Idrīs (b. 1927) has established himself as a major figure in Arabic literature. He is first and foremost a writer of short stories, of which he has published twelve volumes between the years 1954-81.1 The bulk of his work undoubtedly constitutes a landmark in modern Egyptian fiction; and the influence of his art is very much in evidence in the writings of younger...

[In the following review, Boullata provides a reading of the story "Abû al-Rijâl."]
Youssef Idris, born in Egypt in 1927, is one of the most prominent Arab writers today. Originally a medical doctor, he has dedicated himself to literature and written some thirty books in various genres, including short stories, novels, plays, and essays.
One of his recent stories, published in the Egyptian magazine October (November 1, 1987, pp. 40-45), is entitled "Abû al-Rijâl." It is reprinted in Arabic in...

[In the following review, Allen asserts that the publication of an English translation of A Leader of Men "is of great benefit to students of modern Arabic and especially Egyptian fiction."]
It was in the 1950s and 1960s that the Egyptian author Yusuf Idris established his reputation as a short-story writer of genius (see WLT [World Literature Today] 55:1, pp. 43-47). His ability to encapsulate realistic "slices of life" and more symbolic and nightmarish visions within the tight strictures of the genre, his...

[In the following essay, which was originally published in 1989, al-Naja considers the main thematic concerns of Vision at Fault.]
Even if we overlook the explanations that Yusuf Idris has proffered in a number of newspaper statements regarding the reasons for his preference for writing journalistic articles in recent years, the reader of this latest collection finds himself—perhaps unintentionally—posing himself a question as he considers the...

Most Arabists and literary historians agree that Youssef (Yûsuf) Idrîs (b. 1927) is one of the most accomplished, if not the most accomplished, short-story writer in Arabic literature today. Although he has written six novels and seven plays, Idrîs's mastery is most evident in the shorter forms.

[In the following essay, Mikhail offers a thematic and stylistic examination of Idris's short fiction.]
When Naguib Mahfouz was awarded the 1988 Nobel Prize for Literature, he immediately paid tribute not only to the generations of great Arab writers that came before him, but was quick to point out that several of his contemporaries were well-deserving candidates. He cited amongst others his countrymen Yahia Haqqi and Yūsuf Idrīs as two of the most important innovators in the realm of...

[In the following essay, Somekh explores how silence plays a key structural role in "House of Flesh."]
In an article published previously,1 I attempted to demonstrate some of the ways in which rhythm and sound (such as onomatopoeia) are functionally employed in the short stories of the Egyptian writer Yûsuf Idrîs (1927-1992).2 My contention was that these elements, besides representing voices, human or otherwise, serve...

The theme of the Arab in Europe, with all its cultural implications, is one that has found expression in Arabic fiction from a relatively early period in the evolution of the genre.

[In the following essay, Wise investigates the Islamic influence on Idris's short fiction.]

This article analyzes two short stories by Yusuf Idris (1927-1991), commonly regarded as Egypt's master of this genre. These two stories, "Innocence" ("Bara'ah") and "19502," not only vividly represent the relationship between literature and politics, but also are fine examples of Idris' artistic style.

When Yusuf Idris (1927-91) published his controversial story "Abu al-rijal" (Eng. "A Leader of Men") in the Egyptian magazine October in 1987, it was immediately hailed by scholars as the first and only work in modern Arabic literature to probe "so deeply in the mind and soul of a latent homosexual" (Elkhadem, 1988, 1). Consequently, many critics praised...

Topic: attachment_fu, rmagick and colorspace conversion from CMYK to RGB
I am trying to find a way to convert images on upload (attachment_fu handles upload and resize using rmagick) from CMYK color space to RGB. Is this even possible?
So far I have found that rmagick has color space attribute and constant (http://www.imagemagick.org/RMagick/doc/ colorspace), but I don't see any indication that this can be used to uploaded CMYK image to RGB image.
Any ideas?

The last time I seriously binged on a series it was Lost, I watched all of that in about two weeks. Derek was a simple binge only 7 half hour episodes, easy peasy. BTW They are now filming season two of Derek! Luther looks good. I may binge on that too.

make corrections if ya please, i'm not sure if it sounds a bit "adopt a blind donkey and save the world from syphillus" oxfamesque>>>>>jxxxx
Dear "name of editor"
I am involved in managing a not-for-profit arts space in the centre of Edinburgh called The Forest. We are self funded through a volunteer run vegetarian café and adhere to a principle of free access, where it is always free to attend events and to perform. We particularly aim to support those involved in creative ventures, providing monthly and quarterly grants, access to a rehearsal and recording studio, gallery space, a darkroom and small scale publishing support.
At the moment we are trying to extend our reference library to include a wider range of *whatever type of magazine they do*. However, because we are not-for-profit, our budget is extremely limited, and we cannot afford to subscribe to the publications we would like to support. We were wondering if you could offer us a free subscription to your magazine, which we could make available in our library. Your support would help us to create a free, up-to-date reference facility *for people interested in whatever they do, eg – for local poets to learn about getting published, for community political groups, etc etc*.
It would also be excellent advertising for you, as it would result in a large number of people becoming aware of your magazine. Our volunteer base totals over 250 plus we have a constant stream of customers, artists and performers passing through our café.
If this is not possible, we would appreciate any other donations you could make to our library, such as back issues.
If you would like any more information on our organization, please do not hesitate to contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com or via the above address. Alternatively, you can access our website at http://www.theforest.org.uk.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Yours Sincerely

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Great 10kIn full: Thankfully cooler this year than last. Route largely unchanged from last year so up the hill to the town twice which some did moan about. Don't mind it myself as its only a small hill and means the last k is all downhill! Chip timing and a nice memento too.Date of review: July 14, 2014
In short: Another great bolt this year In full: Another great bolt this year helped by the glorious weather. Date of review: June 26, 2014
In short: Another great staggerIn full: The wettest January on record contributed to provide the worst underfoot conditions I can remember for this years stagger with ankle deep mud in abundance. However, the sun shone and a good run was had by all. Nice mimento (a green towel) to add to the collection. I think I now have white, blue & pink. Any chance of a red one next year? ;-)This is a great if tough race but well organised deservedly popular because of it. Well done SRC!Date of review: February 3, 2014
In short: Excellent little raceIn full: Good organisation, great facilities, free tea and cake - what more could you want? Have the run the last 2 years but still to run the proper route due to flooding - to be expected in January though. Mainly off-road, muddy in places but flat and plenty of support and encouragement from the locals. Well worth the tripDate of review: January 7, 2014
In short: Tough 6k in beautiful shropshire countrysideIn full: Well organised friendly 6k in aid of cancer charities.Marshals were great and supportive, weather glorious and course thankfully dry. A couple of tough hills including the "bite" but nothing too bad - definitely not going to be a PB though.Chip timing, celebratory starter (!), decent medal and certificate all at a reasonable price.Date of review: October 7, 2013
In short: Tough but enjoyable 10KIn full: Those hills don't get any easier but an enjoyable morning out in the lovely staffordshire countryside nonetheless.Cotton T-shirt momento again which is very nice but could I suggest something different next year? Tech T or a medal??Date of review: September 30, 2013
In short: Well organised popular HM In full: Route reasonably flat (this is Cornwall!) with only a couple of minor hills so could be PB potential for some.However this year was cold, wet and windy so just glad to finish in a reasonable timeMost of the route is on quite roads but 6 miles or so are on trails; these are hard pack and road shoes are fine. Thanks must go to the brass band playing despite the weather at approx. mile 5/10 which really lifted the spirits. Memento was a good quality tech T. The only gripe I have is that the final few yards pass through a reasonably busy road junction with marshalls struggling at times to control some inconsiderate drivers and thus delaying a few of the runners. Not sure if road closures or moving the finish are an option?Oh and beware of sharks and crocodiles on the trail section!Date of review: August 12, 2013
In short: another fabulous race.....In full: but very,very hot! well organised as usual and I actually prefer the new route. mildly challenging,does not have the long slog on the other side of the river and a nice down hill finish to boot. liked the tech t memento too. will be back again next yearDate of review: July 7, 2013
In short: another fabulous race.....Date of review: July 7, 2013
In short: Another great staggerIn full: I think this was my 5th stagger and although no snow this year, it was probably the muddiest yet - at least ankle deep in places. Really enjoyed it nonetheless. Great marshalls throughout and an excellent turnout of all abilities. Well done SRRC!Date of review: February 4, 2013

I feel better now. Sorry to be so focused on this, but I want to be 100% healthy going into next week.
We do need to get Finley out of there though. He's way too valuable to Rodgers.
Good game by the Pack. I just hope they didnt give away too much of the gameplan for next week. It's hard work beating a professional team twice in a row – but I think A-Rodg has it in him!
Game is officially at 2:30 on Sunday here in AZ, 3:30 central time.
Can't believe I'll get to see the Pack play the Cards for a THIRD time this season!
Go Pack GO!

Say YES to Surrogacy Bill
To the editor:
Clarification must be made (to the April 5 letter, "Say no to surrogacy bill). The author of this letter is under the assumption that this bill will suddenly legalize commercial surrogacy. That is the furthest thing from the truth. Surrogacy has taken place, is taking place and will continue to take place in the State of Minnesota. There is legislation currently on the books for infertile couples that need the use of a sperm donor. The current legislation is grossly outdated when compared to the advancements of science and reproduction. The new proposed legislation is important to not only protect the rights of the sperm donor but to also protect the rights of the surrogate, the egg donor and the Intended parents. Everyone is working together toward the same goal: Assisting the intended parents to achieve their dream of creating and/or completing their family.
Children HAVE NOT, ARE NOT and WILL NOT be bought and sold as the author would lead you to believe. After all other options have been exhausted, an infertile couple seeks out the use of a gestational surrogate. The intended parents and the gestational surrogate, of her own free will and desire to assist an infertile couple create their dream of a family, decide to work together. When surrogacy is done correctly, both parties complete psychological evaluations. The surrogate has received clearance from her primary physician that knows her as well as her history. Both parties have negotiated a contract with their own separate attorneys. When both parties are prepared and in agreement, surrogacy is done properly. When surrogacy is done properly, both parties are pleased (ecstatic, overjoyed, elated, amazed, humbled) with the end result: A family for the Intended parents.
I am a two-time gestational surrogate. I was honored to be selected to babysit in infertile couple's children while they were growing and developing prior to birth. It has been a humbling experience for me and my family to be able to assist someone with their dream of a family.

Cute and Simple Waves
Ashley Olsen is one of those stars that just always looks so laid back and awesome with her gorgeous waved out and layered hairdo. There is no doubt that when it comes to setting trends and fashion the Olsen twins are definitely high up there as fashionista's. This look takes a little maintenance but not as much as one might think, often depending on the texture of the hair hand drying your hair fresh out of the shower with a dry towel and passing a brush into it will do the trick.
