I was born in Tehran, Iran, in the early 1980s into a world where equal rights and laughter had just been silenced. My mother named me Azadeh, which translates to "freeperson," as a subtle way of ensuring equal rights for women not be forgotten in the new regime.
Once, my mother was nearly beaten to death for voicing an opinion about a portrait of Khomeini -- an Iranian religious leader -- to her colleague outside their office building. As a senator in Parliament, my grandfather was in hiding during the early years of the Islamic revolution. Many of his colleagues were either executed or tortured. In order to leave the country, my grandfather left Tehran in the trunk of a vehicle and rode a donkey across the border to Turkey.
Prior to going into hiding, my family's wealth was seized under the pretense of Islam. My mother and grandmother sold all their jewelry including their beloved wedding rings on the black market. The cash received was sent in different routes through messengers, which often did not meet their intended destination, to my relatives in America.
I am grateful for the opportunities of growing up in the United States, but at the same time am saddened to hear about the circumstances my generation faced in Iran. I look forward to seeing what my generation will bring to Iran's future.

Set up Analytics tracking
Find your tracking ID or tracking code snippet
To set up Google Analytics tracking, you'll usually need either your Analytics tracking ID or the entire Javascript tracking code snippet. This corresponds to your Analytics property. To find the tracking ID and code snippet:
- Sign in to your Analytics account.
- Select the Admin tab.
- Select an account from the drop-down menu in the ACCOUNT column.
- Select a property from the drop-down menu in the PROPERTY column.
- Under PROPERTY, click Tracking Info > Tracking Code.
Choose how to set up tracking
There are several ways to collect data in Analytics, depending on whether you want to track a website, an app, or other Internet-connected device. Select the best installation method for what you wish to track.
- Static website
Static website
A static website is one in which the page HTML is NOT generated using a programming language or interface such Python, Ruby, PHP, etc. To collect data, you must copy and paste the Analytics tracking code into the source code on every web page you wish to track.
- Once you have the Javascript tracking code snippet for your property, copy the snippet exactly without editing it.
- Paste your tracking code snippet (unaltered, in its entirety) before the closing
</head>tag on every web page on your site you wish to track.
If you wish to collect data from web pages to multiple properties at once, learn how to track a page using multiple accounts or properties.
- Dynamic website
Dynamic website
A dynamic website is one in which the HTML is generated using a programming language such as Python, Ruby, PHP, etc. To collect data, you must include the Analytics tracking code in the source code on every web page you wish to track. You can use a common include or template to push the tracking code dynamically into every page.
- Once you have the Javascript tracking code snippet for your property, copy the snippet exactly without editing it.
- Paste your tracking code snippet into its own include file, then include it in your page header, so that the snippet appears before the closing
</head>tag on every web page on your site you wish to track.
Using PHP?
Copy the Javascript tracking code snippet and add it to a file named
analyticstracking.php. Then include the
analyticstracking.phpfile on each PHP template page. For each template page, immediately after the opening
<body>tag, add the following code:
<?php include_once("analyticstracking.php") ?>
Note that you can update the tracking code for dynamic websites more efficiently using Google Tag Manager.
- Web-hosting service (you don't manage source code)
Web-hosting service (you don't manage source code)
Some Internet service providers or hosting platforms (such as Wordpress, GoDaddy, Wix, Weebly, etc.) simplify Analytics tracking code installation by offering plug-ins that automatically install it on your web pages. Review your platform's instructions to add your Analytics tracking ID.
Here are some Analytics implementation instructions for some common providers:
Please note that when you use a plug-in to collect data, you may not have the option of adding configuration settings to customize the data you wish to track. If you have special requirements for tracking data, review how to get started with Analytics.
- Website using Google Tag Manager
Website using Google Tag Manager
Google Tag Manager is a free tool to help add and manage multiple analytics and site tracking tags. To use Google Tag Manager to install your Analytics tracking code, visit the Google Tag Manager setup and installation article.
- Mobile apps
Mobile apps
- Internet-connected device
Internet-connected device
To collect data from an Internet-connected device such as online point-of-sales system, video game console, customer relationship management system, or other platform, you must use the Analytics Measurement Protocol.
Verify the tracking code is working
Once you have successfully installed Analytics tracking, it may take up to 24 hours for data such as traffic referral information, user characteristics, and browsing information to appear in your reports. However, you can check your web tracking code setup immediately.
Read advanced resources for more details
The Google Developers site is a great resource to learn more about how the tracking code snippet works.

Share Your Reflection

Dr. Elaine Heath of SMU's Perkins School of Theology
Dr. Elaine Heath of SMU's Perkins School of Theology touches on these topics in her book "The Gospel According to Twilight: Women, Sex, and God". An article on patheos.com, "Is Twilight Bad News for Girls?" http://www.patheos.com/Resourc... and this interview Westminster John Knox Press Radio, http://wjkradio.wjkbooks.com/2... , are examples of her thinking on this subject.

"People have been asking, 'Where is God?' for thousands
"People have been asking, 'Where is God?' for thousands of years..." and its time to answer that question. http://www.thelastwhy.ca/poems...
People have been asking "Why am I?" even longer, since 'Eve' first asked and gave birth to humanity. It is time to stop asking. The consequences of our attempts to answer the "last why" is the story of humanity. It tells us where we are and since existence isn't static it indicates where we are going. The story isn't pretty. There are only two possible destinations for humanity, self-realization and self-destruction. They are a continuum apart. At the present time our story seems to be telling us we are about three quarters of the distance from self-realization, heading for self-destruction. Our story also tells us we can turn around, and "occupy wall street" tells us there is at least a microscopic desire to change our direction. However, our story doesn't tell us how much time we have. http://www.thelastwhy.ca/poems...

I am a avid NPR listener, having just listened to your show for the first time I must admit my disappointment. While I can only assume your panel's conversation regarding the content of television was accurate, in my opinion virtually all television has contributed to the ignorance of the American people. Personally with the exception of Public television I never watch television, choosing to read instead. If more people read our country would be comprised of more educated individuals. We would not entertain such uneducated individuals to guide us as those presently running for office. We have become a Nation of idiots, due in large part by the amount of time spent in front of televisions watching meaningless trivia.

One other interesting show that maybe y'all talked about in the unedited version of the interview is "Being Human" on the scifi network - vampire, ghost and werewolf trying to lie together as "humans".
As you might imagine.....it raises a lot of similar issues - and then further ones mostly due to the ghost character....

May I add the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica to the list of shows exploring myth and spirituality. I appreciate understanding spirituality through popular media and like that recently there has been more time given to non-Christian options. However, I think that where spirituality is explored, atheism always gets a bad rap. It seems to me (and admittedly, maybe I'm watching the wrong shows) that an absence of connection to a higher power is always interpreted as bad, amoral, or chaotic. Where are the characters who are balanced and rational and seeking to better themselves and society without "finding God?"

More than a fundraiser, rose sale is spreading the word about The Arc
MARSHALL – It's an organization that can help people make their voices heard. But right now, the Arc of Southwest Minnesota is also hoping to make more area residents aware of the services they offer, said Pat Brooks, the group's regional coordinator for Lyon, Lincoln, Redwood and Yellow Medicine counties.
The Arc is a private, non-profit national organization that offers information and support for people with developmental or intellectual disabilities and their families. The group was founded in the 1950s by volunteers and families of children with disabilities.
"It's a great organization. (The Arc of Southwest Minnesota) serves 18 counties, and we serve children, adults and families," Brooks said. "We're there to support them." In a time when many publicly-funded services may be facing down budget cuts, she said, that local support is crucial.
Although the Arc of Southwest Minnesota does receive some grant funding and support from organizations like United Way, Brooks said the group does not receive federal or state money. This makes local support through memberships and fundraisers even more important, she said.
Part of the effort is Arc of Southwest Minnesota's ongoing rose sale fundraiser with Marshall Hy-Vee. Proceeds will go toward continuing the Arc's programs and services, Brooks said.
Brooks said the area chapter of the Arc offers information and services ranging from housing access to family support, providing social opportunities, and teaching people with disabilities how to speak up for their rights.
Area membership numbers and participation had been down in the past few years, Brooks said, and the organization is trying to increase awareness of what it does.
"We just want to get the word out to everyone that Arc is back," Brooks said.
She said in the future she also hopes to start some new efforts, like a group that helps provide social and support connections for area families.
The Arc rose sale fundraiser will run through March 22. Both red roses and a "lollipop" pastel color variety are available, Brooks said. A dozen roses are $20 and can be ordered by calling 507-336-3065.
Roses will be available for pickup at the Marshall Hy-Vee on April 11.
More information about the Arc in southwest Minnesota, including ways to get involved, is available online at www.arcmnsw.org.

Hello friends,
Over the past year I have been drinking tea daily (more like hourly) and a couple weeks ago I simply forgot or was not in the mood for my tea in the morning... I starting feeling a bit unusual towards noon like nothing felt right and I felt overwhelmingly lethargic. I thought to myself it must be something I ate or I slept poorly; but no: over the next 2 to 3 weeks, I was having some pretty surprising symptoms: I had a heart rate of 115 to 120 for a whole week (you can imagine trying to sleep while your body feels like its on the 25th kilometer of a marathon... ) and had the worst headaches in my life by far. At first I was considering all these symptoms as a result of a flu or an illness of some sort, but then I realized that it was because of the tea and I later decided I would not drink tea until the effects would stop and see what would happen. Looking back it was a pretty bad decision, because brewing up a chunk of pu would have been many times easier than feeling like your skin is burning off and your brain has 20 times too much blood in it, but I now realize how physically dependent I was without having any idea or concern about it. I am now slowly beginning to drink tea again (one session every other day) and was wondering if anyone else has gone through something of such astonishing magnitude. I know this has been discussed before but I could not seem to find anyone that went through anything close to what I did.

ELLE DECOR Goes to The French Alps
When it comes to extending a warm welcome, Danny Meyer famously has the golden touch. Through his Union Square Hospitality Group, the New York restaurateur runs some of the city's most beloved restaurants—including Union Square Cafe, the Modern at the Museum of Modern Art, Gramercy Tavern, and Blue Smoke. Even Shake Shack, his burger chain—with outposts from Miami to Kuwait City—is a class act for both the quality of its food and the warmth and professionalism of its well-trained staff. Here, Meyer (who is also the author of Setting the Table: The Transforming Power of Hospitality in Business) shares his recipe for being the host (or hostess) with the most this holiday season.
Setting the Stage
• If you want to throw a great party, know that nothing rises to a higher level than how the hosts or host family treat one another. If you are arguing or tense, there is no way your guests won't feel that. Don't expect your guests to have a better time than you are having yourself.
• Get yourself in the frame of mind to have a good time at your own party. One thing that works for me is to get some exercise. It makes me feel better about myself and builds my appetite. When a host abstains from eating or drinking during a party, it sends a message that guests should hold back too.
The ingredients that go into being a good host line up beautifully with the five senses:
• Smell: I think people lead with their nose. There is no better compliment to a host than when a guest says, "It smells great in here."
• Sight: Some hosts use a party as an excuse to clean their home, or hang that piece of art they've been meaning to hang. Go with that.
• Taste: Be generous. People shouldn't be on portion control with food or beverages.
• Hearing: I have fun assembling a playlist. It's rare when everyone likes the same music, so I shuffle: British rock and roll, Mozart, Oscar Peterson.
• Touch: Be aware of textural elements throughout a party, like silverware, stemware, and linens. But the biggest element is metaphorical: it's your own touch. How are you making people feel?

The Late Bloomer is the fourth volume of the Dangerous Old Woman Series with Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes.
"What makes talent bloom? Ask what makes a tree blossom. They are the same. It is not unfathomable. It only takes concentration. Concentration of energies is what makes a tree flower. Not bigger, not faster, not taking up more space. Rather, less space. Density. Pressure in hard places. Often, in the dark. Relentlessly. Freely. For as long as it takes. Hold faith, a gestation can go long and for good reason, and nothing much shows above ground. But then, one day..." - Clarissa Pinkola Estes, PhD
Are you waiting for New Life, for your talents to bloom? With The Late Bloomer, Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes presents volume four of her masterwork on the Wise Woman archetype, bringing you six sessions of origial tales, stories from her ethnic families, poems, blessings, and psychological commentary exploring the cycles of "burgeoning, blooming New Life."

"Water the soul's garden so you can bloom"
Many times over the last few years I have heard from another woman, "I have always wanted to...." followed by "...but no, it's too late." The woman in each case was in good health, without great financial worry, and with a reasonable portion of free time. So what makes it "too late" for her? Why are so many women still waiting to answer the soul's need to create and express itself? Why do we insist on perfectionism? Why do we ask, "What will they say?" before we consider, "What do I really want to create?"
As Clarissa Pinkola Estes reminds us, it is not necessarily difficult to say what the things is that whispers, "Help bring me into this world." But it can be quite difficult, even a daily challenge, to find out what makes us tell it, "No."
Through myths and stories, she encourages us to explore these issues, deeply, thoughtfully, and with great compassion. If you've gathered supplies and dreams for what you want to create, but have hesitated to get to work on it, this audiobook might help you to "find an aperture" as the author calls it. It's not a quick fix or a magical recipe book for creativity, but it just might illuminate the path you need to follow.
In my artistic life, no one has been more of an encouraging influence than Marta Becket. In the middle of the desert, when no one was there to see her dance, she painted her own audience in what would become the Amargosa Opera House. Clarissa Pinkola Estes encourages the same spirit: "Play your music even if no one is there to hear it." It is the work and the process that feeds your soul, and that is true even if your audience is only imaginary, for eventually, another heart will come.
The author leaves us with the following wish: "I pray two hopes for us: may we be blessed to find one whenever we have need, and may we all be blessed to be one many times over."
May it be so.
"Perfect for early 50s me"
As I crossed into my 50s I began looking for support and resources for this next phase of my life. I was ready to make some major changes, including a new job in a new city, getting back to my writing and more. Just as I found Women Who Run With the Wolves helpful in my 30s, this book has been extremely inspiring and strengthening. I love hearing Clarissa's voice as well. Each story has something for me and I will return to this again.
"Find the aperture"
As someone who is at point of change and, hopefully, growth, I appreciate this recording and certainly plan to listen to it again; I'm sure I'll continue to get even more out of it. It isn't available as a book so I found myself going to my computer to type quotes from it. I love her guiding and generous spirit.
"Excellent stories Embedded"
I've listened to a few of Estes recordings and I find myself re-listening to her materials. She is great embedding stories into her key message.
"If you're looking to return to your soul-path...step here!"
Clarissa generously shares her rich life experiences and soul inspired stories, many which seemingly have survived generations and served to lift the spirit of our brothers and sisters. I have endured many hardships and setbacks...so have so many others!
Through engaging allegories and creatively crafted stories, Clarissa weaves us back to the path which is but one step away from the open-door -heart of true Self.
"Brilliant, thank you"
Hours and hours of wisdom. Thank you this is one that will be listened to many times in my lifetime.
"Soothing Voice"
This was my introduction to Clarissa Pinkola Estes. I enjoyed her wisdom and story telling. Very intuitive. I was drawn to the title as I feel I too am a late bloomer. I will listen over and over. It may not be for everyone but it spoke to me.
"Brilliant renewal for the soul!"
Thank heaven for the courageously creative spirit that too often lies dormant in our souls. CPE renews and refreshes me like no other!
"A beautiful experience!"
I love the layering of stories that provide such richness and depth for understanding the fullness of the human experience as it is expressed within each of us.

"you have to be consistent with your own methodology. Once you find a quantity a time that work for you, you have to stick to it"
I would assume the best way for us home bakers to really know if we need to do a single or a double feed would be to buy a ph test kit, available at any pet store. I don't know if it is really this simple, but it just might be.
In the bread making world, preferments like poolish and sponges are deemed to have reached the maturation point when domed on the top and just beginning to recede. Member Dinks, a baker by training, expressed it this way in a post on the forum:..when ready you will see a zillion bubbles on top. If you see crown top to it, it isn't ready yet. But the moment it begins to recede it's time to use. The yeast is spent & fermentation is completed. Didier Rosada, former chief baking instructor at the San Francisco Baking Institute, describes the maturation process for a poolish as follows:The goal for the baker is to obtain a poolish that is perfectly matured at the time of the final dough mixing. The full maturation of the poolish can be recognized when it has domed slightly on the top and just begun to recede, creating on the surface some areas a little more concave. A poolish that had not matured adequately does not provide the benefit of lower acidity; one that has over-matured can create other types of acidity which might affect the flavor of the final product. Basically, the same tests are used for a sponge, which is a lower hydration preferment than a poolish (which has 100% hydration), or, as Rosada puts it:As with the poolish, the surface of the sponge contains vital clues to help the baker determine its readiness. When many bubbles are evident and some of the cracks start to form, creating some collapsing, the sponge is ready for incorporation into the final dough. An under-mature sponge would not be as beneficial because of inadequate acid development; an over-mature sponge could negatively affect the strength of the dough due to an increase in the acidity level, and would affect the flavor of the bread due to the formation of other acids.Peter
Again, what type of flour are you using to feed the starters. MWTC
Although starters CAN be used also as preferment (depending on percentage used), their preparation scope is different and that is where your focus needs to be
I think there are two aspects you should consider in your experimentations:- Leavening strenght- Acidity/ SournessIn general terms the two are inversely proportional.... For pizza you need a different balance then for bread making..Ciao
Marco, I'm sure there are many differences between commercial yeast and natural yeast starters/preferments and their preparation, but it seems to me there are still principles of maturation that are in common. Peter
I think it is interesting to discuss the difference between the leavening role of the starter in bread vs. pizza. In the Neapolitan pizza oven, the heat is so intense, surely the yeast are dead before they have a chance to look for the emergency exit. In the much cooler bread oven, the yeast have plenty of time to prepare their wills, get their final affairs in order, and produce a nice bounce before they succumb after a few minutes. Bill/SFNM

North Carolina Upstart Takes on Lululemon
CHARLOTTE ( TheStreet) -- When Lululemon Athletica (LULU) brought the apparel of yogis and athletes to mainstream, fashion-conscious women, it opened the door for an explosion in the women's fitness wear industry.
Lululemon calls itself a "yoga-inspired athletic apparel company," creating "components for people to live long, healthy and fun lives" through athletic wear that uses performance-enhancing fabrics and functional designs.
Perhaps it was riding this wave that can explain the rapid success of ActivewearUSA, a 4-year-old e-commerce retailer selling only women's performance and fitness wear. Or perhaps it was simply the realization by founder and CEO Avi Woolman while contemplating life from the cobra position that with the Lululemons and Gap (GPS) Athletas of the world succeeding in the bricks-and-mortar space, there was an opportunity to sell multiple brands of women's fitness clothes online.
Either way, ActivewearUSA is flourishing.
"This is no longer a niche that is only serving the 1%," says Woolman, a former software developer. "As enhanced design, performance fabric and fits become the norm for workout gear, women are tossing away their college sweats and upgrading to a trend-forward look for the gym. This is an explosive category that is going to see exponential growth in the coming years."
Yet there is a big difference between functional activewear and designer sportswear.
"Designer sportswear for me, it is like Estrada or Ralph Lauren . These are for me designer sportswear, which is not particularly functional, not a performance product -- it's more fashionable and stylish, but it's not activewear," Woolman says.
She acknowledges that the lines are blurring, though.
"Everyone sees this as basically a big market and
ActivewearUSA is well positioned.
The company carries roughly 120 activewear labels and thousands of styles, including boutique lines with names such as Prana, Alo , Zobha and Manduka alongside established outerwear names including Patagonia, O'Neill and Merrell.
Besides selection, the company wants to be known for giving customers sound guidance on choosing the merchandise best suited for their needs.
"A key point of customer service is the guidance," she says. "We want to be able to help our women customers make the right choice when it comes to apparel for the activities that she's in. We just want
Woolman wouldn't release sales figures, but would say revenue leaped 400% last year. By April of 2012, the company had already surpassed that, with plenty of potential to grow, she says.
"I think we are in a unique position because we are independent. We're not just one brand. We're very objective and our customers knows we are unbiased. We can sell a customer" the product that's best suited for them, Woolman says. "Some of our brands, you can't find anywhere else."

Design How-To
A middle-1X nm NAND flash memory cell (M1X-NAND) with highly manufacturable integration technologies
Cell performance
2 comments
2 comments
To suppress charge loss (Q-loss) between CG and neighbor FG due to lateral high electric field during program, we have adopted an advanced CoSi-based WL air-gap process that has an air-gap portion above 50% between WLs. As shown in Figure 6(a), the electric field between CG and neighbor FG can be reduced 20% by an advanced CoSi-base WL air-gap. However, reduction electric field by WL airgap is not sufficient to prevent charge loss perfectly because of scale-down issues at mid-1x-nm cell size. So N±1 WL bias control scheme were adopted within WL air-gap. As a result we can also reduce the electric field 15% additionally (see figure 6(a)).
Figure 6: (a) Electric field between CG and neighbor FG during programming. (b) 3-D e-field simulation with programmed PV3 neighbor cell. The electric field at point A can be reduced by air-gap and N±1 WL bias control.
Then the advanced air-gap and N±1 WL scheme can greatly alleviate charge loss between CG and neighbor FG by decreasing electric field, as shown in Figure 7. Furthermore, as shown Figure 8, PGM speed is improved by N±1 WL scheme, because FG potential of program cell increase by cross coupling effect between WL and neighbor FG. Figure 9 shows the cell coupling ratio with and without air-gap. Cell coupling ratio can be also improved by air-gap due to reducing capacitance of WL direction.
Figure 7: Improvement of charge loss with N±1 WL bias control method. Charge loss is greatly decreased to ~300mV by applying Vpass+2V to neighbor N±1 WL.
Figure 8: Improvement of PGM speed with N±1 bias control method.
Figure 9: Cell coupling ratio as technology shrinkage.Read current reduction is also major issue because of higher bulk doping for suppressing short channel effects in mid-1x-nm cell transistors. A new advanced junction scheme of cell and select transistor is adopted to maximize read current and reduce leakage current in unselected block (see figure 10).
Figure 10: Read current with/without select Tr. junction optimization. Read current can be improved by select Tr. junction optimization.
Cell Vth Distribution
Figure 11 shows cell Vth distributions for the multi-level M1X-NAND cells. The Vth distributions have normal shapes and are well separated to three MLC states. This result confirms that M1X-NAND cell technology can be applied for high density MLC.
Figure 11: Three-level programmed Vth distributions of M1X-NAND cells. Vth distributions are well separated to three MLC states.
A highly manufacturable mid-1x-nm NAND flash memory (M1X-NAND) has been developed with new integration technologies, such as QSPT, advanced WL air gap process, floating gate slimming process, and optimized junction formation scheme, to overcome scaling limits of mid-1x-nm technology. The excellent device characteristics and reliability are achieved successfully. And also, a new N±1 WL Vpass scheme during programming has been also adopted to overcome WL-to-WL high field issue. Then, we have demonstrated a middle-1x nm-generation NAND flash memory (M1X-NAND) with high performance and reliability.

The Dalai Lama presents Krista Tippett with a khata after their conversation at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. (photo: Cindy Brown)
We receive quite a few responses from people who are spurred to create or make something, to act or make a decision after listening to one of our shows. Renee Yates, a woman with multiple degrees in advertising, marketing, and theology living in Evanston, Illinois, wrote this poem "after listening to Ms. Tippett's interview with the Dalai Lama":
When pleasure no longer buries the pain
And worry does not pay the bills,
When depression ceases to shield the rage
And anger does not repair the rift,
When hope no longer blunts the fear
And sadness does not bring the dead back to life,
When all feelings have finally quenched
And frustration has yielded to peace,
Happiness is the last recourse.

Note: This is the latest entry in the Acton blog series, "What Christians Should Know About Economics." For other entries in the series see this post.
The Term: Money
What it Means: In economics, money is a broad term that refers to any financial instrument that can fulfill the functions of money (more on that in a moment).
There are three basic ways to exchange goods and services: gifting (e.g., I give you a banana, expecting nothing in return); barter (e.g., I give you a banana, in exchange you give me an apple); by using money (e.g., I give you a banana, in exchange you give me $1). Money was invented (and reinvented in every culture) because it makes exchanges easier than the barter system.
What Money Is: Money is a shared belief system used to simplify exchanges of goods and services. To be used as money people have to share a belief that the item —whether paper, gold, rocks, etc. — can perform three main functions: be a store of value, be used as a unit of account, and serve as a medium of exchange.
In the next section we'll examine these functions. For now, here are two examples of how money serves as a shared belief system:

CoGo bikes
CoGo bikes are easy to check out and easy to ride, but the main drawback is that your trips are limited to 30-minute periods. I suggest checking out the website and planning out your day before you rent a bike. Otherwise, you might be charged fees for going over the alotted time period.

A terrible thing
I wrote earlier this year to express my feelings over the re-election of Barack Obama. I feel that it is a terrible thing that will have terrible consequences.
I decided to read his book, "Dreams Of My Father." I was impressed how well it is written but as I read more I was disturbed by his bitterness toward America.
A recent editorial written by Thomas Sowell, a noted columnist, author and scholar, he had this to say: "If someone wrote a novel about a man who was raised from childhood to resent the successful and despise the basic values of America – and who then went on to become president of the United States, that novel would be considered unbelievable even for a work of fiction. Yet that is what happened in real life."
He also said later in the same editorial that "After watching a documentary about the tragic story of Jonestown, I was struck by the utterly unthinking way that so many people put themselves completely at the mercy of a glib and warped man, who led them to degradation and destruction. And I could not help thinking of the parallel with the way we put a glib and warped man in the White House."
I say amen to that and wonder if enough people will wake from their trance before it is too late.
When Obama was running he demeaned the president. He said that the national debt was unpatriotic. It was $10 trillion then.
He, as a senator, recommended voting to not raise the debt ceiling.
He has completely reversed it now and his followers are still mesmerized. The German people were duped. Is history repeating?

I'm looking through sites like taobao and cart100 (which is really taobao) the diversity of teapots is great, but try to find something small? No luck so far... I'm not just talking yixing pots, but modern celedon, porcelain... anything really. It's just an easy size to find.
American stores and ebay are not much better. Is it due to low demand, or due to it being difficult to make a small pot?
But millions were made in the yixing factories. (why did they close? no more clay?)
This is what I don't understand.
Another way of asking this is why are there 100 pots in the 200-400ml range for every 1 below 120ml.

FinnFest art project focuses on saunas
MARQUETTE – People from across the Upper Peninsula are banding together this summer to help create a community art project dedicated to a long-standing Finnish tradition – the sauna.
"The Sauna: Fantastical to Practical" is the name of the project, which is being coordinated by Hancock artist Mary Wright. It will feature the hand-built saunas during FinnFest USA 2013, which takes place in the Copper Country from June 19 through 23.
FinnFest, which is held in a different location each year, is an annual celebration of Finnish heritage. The celebration offers its participants a variety of lectures, workshops, panel discussions and exhibits, all of which revolve around Finnish culture. The festival will also include a tori, or market, of Finnish goods as well as concerts for people to attend.
Wright, who has organized a number of community projects throughout the Upper Peninsula, said she chose saunas for FinnFest's community art project because of its deep history in Finnish culture.
"The custom is really strong," Wright said. "When people came from Finland, they often built a sauna and lived there, the first building, because purification through the sweating of steam was crucial. Women gave birth in saunas, bodies were prepared for burial in saunas. It's really from, shall we say, the beginning of life to the end of life. Saunas are absolutely an essential tradition in Finland."
An example of a small sauna, built by Minnesota Mel Seeger of Bergland, is on display outside the Children's Museum on Baraga Avenue in Marquette. It will be there for several weeks before being transported to Hancock for FinnFest.
Wright said she is still looking for volunteers to build saunas for the project. Saunas built from recycled materials or old, salvaged saunas are encouraged. Anyone interested in building a sauna can contact Wright at 361-5548.

Skip to comments.'Impeach Obama' Bumper Sticker Leads To Baseball Bat Attack
Posted on 02/05/2013 9:16:02 AM PST by DaffynitionEdited on 02/05/2013 9:20:14 AM PST by Admin Moderator. [history]
GLASTONBURY A 61-year-old man with an "Impeach Obama" bumper sticker on his vehicle was arrested Friday after he used a baseball bat to bash the trunk of another motorist who had given him the finger, police said.
Paul V. Guaschino, of 1149 E. Middle Turnpike in Manchester, followed the motorist who "apparently did not like the bumper sticker and displayed his dislike by showing his middle finger to Guaschino," police said.
(Excerpt) Read more at articles.courant.com ...
So, what would a Treason/Trial/Convict/Sentence bumper sticker do?
My bumper sticker to Obama:
You Obama are a true piece of crap. take your socialism, your big government , your freedom robbing government regulations, take your tyranny and go f yourself.
Paul V. Guaschino ..... what's his freeper name?
It was the middle finger, not the bumper sticker, that led to the stupid attack
I wonder if the bird flipper will be less quick to randomly throw his finger up at people he does not know. You catch an angry person on a bad day and that finger may cost you your head.
Love the sticker. But a finger should not begat a baseball bat attack. A physical attack should cause the sticker owner to bring out the bats etc.
A return bird would have been acceptable and had that precipitated a physical attack, defending himself would be appropriate.
I wonder if all is being reported here?
Sounds like a 'flip and run' accident to me. The flipor should be hunted down and prosecuted.
Was the bat damaged?
I had a hunch this happened in a gun-free state. It's not a good idea to be flipping the bird when you don't know who might be carrying. An armed society is a polite society and all that...
Wish I could shake the hand of the guy with the bb bat.
If someone flips you the bird like this the correct response is to just laugh at them. Point and laugh. That ticks them off to no end and you win.
If someone that got flipped off was armed, and shot the flipper, I would say that the armed person wasn't being polite at all.
Wave back... with all your fingers.
I thought the guy with the bumper sticker got his car bashed...
so the liberal OBot gives you a odd salute ??
Who cares ???
Just laugh at them...
I prefer the dismissive wave, myself.
Really, you think bashing in someone else's car with a baseball bat is an appropriate response to getting the finger?
While laughing....
The old man is 61 and can claim that he thought the middle finger was a weapon.
In NJ, baseball bat laws are sort of like the gun laws.
Its unlawful to have a baseball bat in your car unless traveling to an organized game. I think the only exception to the rule is if the bat is a "collectable bat".
Unfortunately in this state (Connecticut) if you needed a bat for every supporter of the Marxist-in-Chief you'd personally float Louisville Slugger for the decade. It's no surprise that the leftists here are out in force and gloating, as there are far more Obama bumper stickers evident after the election.
..."Its not a good idea to be flipping the bird when you dont know who might be carrying."....
This type of statement is what causes gun-fearing people to think concealed carry is a bad thing. I sincerely doubt any person who has been certified or licensed for CC would think about pulling his or her weapon in response to being flipped the bird. That is ludicrous. Now, the CC individual may be justified in drawing on a bat wielding jerk, if said jerk tried to use the bat on the CC person directly. The key principle - not drawing your weapon unless you intend to kill your target - holds always.
It was the middle finger, not the bumper sticker, that led to the stupid attack
LOL. It was the response to the middle finger that led to the stupid attack.
There is nothing in the attached article that indicates that the bumper sticker was even the cause of the flipping off, beyond bat wielders assumption. For all we know, bat wielder is a crappy driver who cut bird flipper off.
Sounds like a pretty straightfoward road rage incident to me.
Thin skinned, oversensitive A-hole with a baseball bat couldn't keep his fragile ego in check.
I had an idiot flip me a double bird in traffic recently. I just blew him a kiss and that stopped him. He cut me off and figured that I wouldn't respond.
I chuckled over that all day.
So the Impeach Bush bumper stickers were okay then ....
I've also noticed seeing many more Obama (and even more laughable: Obama-Biden) bumper stickers on cars here in The People's Republik of Connecticut since the election.
Ugh, I hate this place politically and morally. Looking forward to the day (someday) when hubby and I can move outta here...
By age 61 a person should learn the art of self-control. And not be shocked that such a bumper sticker would provoke this kind of response.
Now he gets to pay the price for being stupid.
Great response...I've done the same in the past...blow them a kiss. That makes them madder than just about any other response you could employ...
He should have to pay for damages. His right to respond and take action against the flipper ends at the flipper's property line.
Hey, I'm 61 and have an IMPEACH OBAMA sticker mounted on my truck bumper.
To date, I've not had anybody flip me the bird.
I doubt that the 9MM BEATS 9-1-1, EVERY TIME sticker on the other side of the bumper has anything to do with that, either.
I see I'm not alone in this approach.
If only I'd thought of it earlier in life, so that my 3 kids would not have the ammunition to regale family gatherings with stories of me flipping off other drivers when they were too young to know what it meant.
By age 61 a person should learn the art of self-control. And not be shocked that such a bumper sticker would provoke this kind of response.
Yes once a guy brandished a crowbar at me. It flew out of his hand bounced across the road and landed right at my feet. I picked it up and asked him what was he going to do with this?
He fled...LOL
And suddenly Obama's flying monkeys will scream and make this nutcase the poster boy for every conservative American opposed to Hussein's "destroy America" campaign.
"Typical Republican," they will scream hysterically. Never mind that similar scenarios occur in reverse every day. That's why there are not more "Impeach the fake president" stickers around. The ONLY reason. People with a job who work need their vehicles more than they need to voice political opinions on their car.
He needs to shut up, call his lawyer, and get the best deal he can get. He's screwed.
"If someone flips you the bird like this the correct response is to just laugh at them. Point and laugh. That ticks them off to no end and you win."
I like your suggestion. I usually give them a big, enthusiastic "thumbs up" and I find that confuses the heck out of them.
If you get mad when someone flips the bird at you you are giving a complete stranger power over your emotions. I wave too.
Agreed... A big, enthusiastic thumbs up IS THEE best response.
I do. In the past insulting another man may have resulted in a broken nose, but with people so sue happy today over everything it's just not safe to break noses anymore. But a bb bat to the trunk? Sure, it'll result in the batter paying a fine and or doing community service, but people need to experience consequences for their actions. I wish it was still OK to punch people. Many deserve it.
And deport him with his illegal friends.
He got flipped off and then went on the attack with a bat. Sorry... no-go with me. We're not talking self-defense here.
I'll pray for you. I think life would be tough believing that feeling insulted requires damaging property, and the only reason you don't respond with a physical attack on the person is fear of being sued,.
Swing like Joe DiMaggio.
Six year olds pointing fingers get suspended from school for having pretend weapons so it's not a stretch or him to claim he thought he was being threatened. Same thing.
I wouldn't mess with Mr. Paul V. Guaschino who is knows as "Paulie Walnuts".

Ah yes, a physical beat down for your hurt feelings.
Ordinarily, consequences should be proportionate to the damage done.
Since there is no damage done when you are flipped off, grow up and walk away.
I thought the Obamaphile would have been the attacker; surprised that the headline doesn't make it clear that the anti-Obama guy was.
As far as a baseball bat or firearm response to the finger, I have found it better to ask "is that your I.Q. or your number of friends?"

Published July 18, 2006
GALLOWAY TOWNSHIP, N.J. - Upset about an LPGA Tour schedule change, organizers of the ShopRite LPGA Classic are considering suing to keep the tournament's place on the tour calendar, event executive director Ruthie Harrison said Monday.
LPGA Tour officials announced earlier in the day that the $2.6-million Ginn Tribute Hosted by Annika Sorenstam will be played May 31-June 3 at RiverTowne Country Club in Mount Pleasant, S.C. That's the same weekend the ShopRite Classic has been held the past two years, and the one organizers planned on using through 2008.
"We believe that we have a binding agreement that ensures our date on the LPGA schedule through 2008, and we intend to take any and all steps, including legal action if necessary, to enforce that agreement," Harrison said.
LPGA Tour officials had offered about a half-dozen other potential dates for the ShopRite, but organizers said they were unacceptable.
Two were in April, which they say is impractical because the Seaview Resort & Spa course can't be ready in time because of winter weather. Another potential date was deemed unacceptable because it would put the event opposite the men's U.S. Open. A fourth would have sandwiched it between LPGA Tour stops in Mexico and California.
"We have been a loyal and valued partner to the LPGA for more than 20 years," Harrison said. "The ShopRite Classic has contributed more than $20-million in fees and purses, and more than $12-million in charitable contributions during that time. To say we are disappointed and upset with the manner in which this has been handled by the commissioner is an understatement."
LPGA commissioner Carolyn Bivens said the tour had offered ShopRite eight possible dates for 2007 and was awaiting a decision. "We have every intention to continue our discussions with the Harrisons and to work together for many years," she said, referring to Harrison and her husband, Classic general chairman Larry Harrison.
SENIOR AMATEUR: The Senior Amateur Match Play Championship moves to the quarterfinals today at Cypress Run Golf Club in Tarpon Springs. In the championship flight, Bruce Scamehorn of Winter Haven faces Edward Craig of Orlando, Bob Ethridge of Plantation plays Fred Peel of Chipley, Berger Warner of Ocala plays Brian Hawke of Temple Terrace and Neil Carter of Citrus Springs plays Frank Saxon of Mulberry.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (17 votes).
In short: A memorable experience!!!In full: This was only the 2nd race I have done. And boy was it memorable! The mud really was something else and despite the hours in the shower after I would love to do that bit again! The run itself was definitey harder and longer than I bargained for but a great challenge. I was a tiny bit disappointed it wasn't more 'fun' and actually found the atmosphere less friendly than at my first race (Paras' 10). There weren't very many people cheering you on (although massive thumbs up to the awesome steward who got us all up THAT hill). That said, I am glad I did it and would recommend it for its off-road glory! Well organised on the whole, loved devil's disco (but want more of that type of stuff) and PLEASE at least 1 more water station. While I wouldn't say it felt elitist at all (fancy dress etc!) it's probably not ideal if you're not very confident about your fitness and/or ability to scale steep hills!Date of review: September 15, 2011
In short: WAY better than last year and not as hilly as MiddleIn full: LOVE LOVE LOVE this race, better this year as it was a good 12 miles i reckon, although the lap at the start was a bit rubbish but i did get to high 5 the devil!!love the bogs but that water station couldnt come quick enough as i think the sunshine caught everyone by surprise.My only concern is that soem of the bogs were really really deep and when i stepped in i dropped in up to my chin, and im no shorty, so god knows how some people managed.Hats off to the guy in the Mankini and to my race buddy Chris think he was 887 or something like that, he saved me from a face full of Bog after i tripped over a hidden log, the same one i tripped over last year!! i never learn.needless to say i will be back next year, and i will do the Middle again in FebDate of review: September 15, 2011
In short: I love this. Done it every year and every year it gets harder and better!!!!! Well done guysDate of review: September 15, 2011
In short: absolutely superbDate of review: September 13, 2011
In short: Wetter and better than everIn full: This was my fourth time out at Hell Up North, and I can honestly say that it was the best yet. Parking and pre-race organisation was faultless, and we even got away on time this year. The organisers had responded to criticism of the distance being slightly short last year by adding a new loop after the first hill - which i wasn't a massive fan of - but which they made up for by picking an even better route through the forest, and making the bogs of doom even more splendid than usual. There was also a medal at the finish this year, not to mention a superb technical t-shirt, a pretty good goodie bag, and lots of different free drinks.Best of all, Hellrunner always attracts a great crowd, from the bloke in the Mankini to the young fella carrying an ironing board and an iron (who I'm ashamed to say became the man I just had to beat). All in all, this is still my favourite race of the year, and if you haven't done it yet, you haven't lived.Date of review: September 13, 2011
In short: Punishment of the sole, redemption of the mind... is very true!In full: The only way this superbly light-hearted, fun, well organised, well routed, well marshalled race could be improved is hot showers afterwards! Haha, the parking was spot on this year too. There was all the facilities there we needed (except hot showers) it had a professional but light hearted feel, the devil made a funny touch, as did the Bog of Doom and the devils disco which I hope to see next year! A halfway marker would be nice as it's too wet to bring GPS watches. The goody bag is superb too, very very generous and could not be criticised. Lovely medal too.Date of review: September 12, 2011
In short: I loved the running, but I really loved the mud - newly converted BOGTROLL!!! :-)In full: Only my 4th race Dunstable 5k trail,Silverstone half, Chicken Run 10k and I'm not a speed queen BUT I totally loved this run, the variety of paths, scenery, friendly folk to chat to and the "fun runners" in costume AND the BOGS!!!!It was a great experience and the kids loved watching...more hoses at the end please tho...I am still finding mud in every orifice!!! Date of review: September 12, 2011
In short: Great Day, Great Organisation! Very Very Enjoyable!In full: I survived Hell! It cost a bit to enter but you get free parking, fantastic medal, bottled water, very generous goodie bag and a Hell runner tee along with meeting the devil himself. Fantastic course (around 11 mile) and loved the bog of doom+ the bog disco and hills of hell! Very very enjoyable day, the only thing stopping me going back for more is the risk of injury! Would go back just as a spectator to watch the runners go through the bog which is located near the finish, plenty to do for the family as well A+++++.Date of review: September 12, 2011
In short: Fab race, not for the faint hearted or those that don't like mud!!!In full: First time doing hellrunner was very impressed with everything. The course was very hard and did want to cry when a marshall told me 'well done you're about half way!!!' Loved wading through the bog of doom to the rocky theme tune, felt like I could take on the world! Would love to see some hot showers next year so I don't smell quite so bad on the journey home !Date of review: September 12, 2011
In short: I've still got mud in places there really shouldn't be mud.In full: Great Event! I was daunted about the prospect of this race to say the least, since I didn't class myself as a particular fan of hills or mud. It's fair to say that I still don't like hills but boy do I LOVE MUD! I cannot put into words how much I appreciated the dubstep tunes blasting from the dj gazebo pitched at the first proper bog. I could have stayed there all day. Great organisation, I could have killed for a water station much earlier on and some additional hose pipes would have been handy to at least wash hands but all in all an enjoyable experience that I would do again! It's a tough course (I'm battered and bruised and walking like a Teddy Bear) but fantastic atmosphere and it was great to see runners helping each other out at the bogs. Mankini man is my idol.
