Hey All,
Just wanted to share with you some more stuff. This is my own improvisation of Pain de Beaucaire. I decided to make them more stick like, which actually made them resemble the Chinese fried doughnut "yauh tiuh". For more info, please check out the following websites:
Pain de Beaucaire Sticks
95% AP Flour (1194g)
3% WW Flour (38g)
2% Rye Flour (26g)
63% Water (792g)
2.2% Kosher salt (28g)
10% Firm Sourdough Starter (60% Hydration) (126g)
1/2 tsp Active Dry Yeast
Coarse wheat bran
Makes 2204g dough.
6:55pm - Mix all ingredients into a ball with no dry bits, transfer to oiled plastic bin, cover, autolylse for 30 mins.
7:30pm – Turn dough in bin, cover.
8:00pm - Turn dough in bin, cover.
8:30pm - Turn dough in bin, cover.
10:30pm – Divide dough into 2 equal pieces, roll out each piece into an 8" x 15" rectangle. Make slurry with water and some AP flour. Brush slurry onto each piece of dough, sprinkle coarse wheat bran on one piece, and turn the other dough piece on to the other. Cut into 4 strips that are approx 2" wide, transfer to lightly floured linen couch and proof for 1 hour. Strips should be proofed with each layer on top of each other. Cover in cloth and plastic. Arrange baking 2 stones on separate levels (1 one space from bottom, 1 two spaces down from top, and the long side of the stone should be front to back) and steam pan in oven, preheat to 550F with convection. (I use an aluminum loaf pan filled with lava rocks for my steam pan)
11:40pm – Gently turn loaves onto side transfer loaves to a peel or flipping board, place directly onto stone in oven. When all the loaves are in, Add 1 cup of water to steam pan, close oven. Turn down to 450F with convection and bake for 15 minutes. Rotate, turn down to 450F with convection and bake for another 15 minutes or until internal temp reaches 210F. Cool completely for about 2 hours or overnight before cutting and eating...
My main motivation in making Pain de Beaucaire was that it could be completed in one day! I refreshed my starter early yesterday morning and made the levain for this bread from the discard. The bread took me only twelve hours to complete.
I broke off a piece of the finished loaf last night so I could taste it warm and was surprised by the prominent burst of sour on my upper palate.
This morning I had a closer inspection of these cooled, rough looking, free-form loaves. They have a someone soft texture and a medium crumb, and I liked the look of the vein of bran running through their middles! I toasted a piece for breakfast and was struck by how similar it tasted and looked to ciabatta--no surprise here really; this area of France is very close to Italy.
I think this bread is best served warm with a regional dish from southeastern France, e.g., coq au vin or a fish stew. I would make it again.
Named after Beaucaire, a region in Southeastern France, the Pain de Beaucaire is one of the first breads to be made "free-form" or not formally shaped. The bread is produced by placing two layers of dough on top of each other and then cutting with Râcle a Beaucaire, strips of dough that are baked side by side, giving this bread the unique appearance. Pain de Beaucaire was very popular until people started to prefer the lighter and crunchier baguette. However, this authentic regional bread is currently enjoying a resurgence as a new generation discovers its many appealing characteristics (Suas, p. 220).
I think a râcle a beaucaire is a type of pastry scraper.
2 3/8 oz. bread flour
1/8 oz. rye flour
2 1/2 oz. water
1 1/2 oz. stiff starter (50% hydration)
Mix all the ingredients until well incorporated (DDT of 70º). Allow to ferment 8 hours at room temperature (65º - 70º).
Final Dough Formula:
1 lb. 1/8 oz. bread flour
9 oz. water
1/8 tsp. instant yeast
1/8 oz. salt
6 1/2 oz. levain (all of the levain)
wheat bran
My method:
Mix water and levain with paddle attachment to soften up levain (about 1 minute). Mix remaining ingredients, except wheat bran, with paddle (1 minute), turn off mixer and let sit (5 minutes). Resume mixing with dough hook at speed 2 until dough has a medium consistency--window pane starts to form but breaks upon stretching (about 4-5 minutes). Put into an oiled, lidded container and bulk ferment at 75º for 1 1/2 hours. Shape into a ball and let rest 20 minutes. Make a paste of 1 tablespoon flour and 5 tablespoons of water. Pat ball out into a rectangular shape about 1 inch thick. Cut rectangle in half both length- and cross-wise. Apply paste to rectangle and sprinkle with bran. Place one length-wise strip on top of the other, bran sides facing inward. Move loaves keeping bran seams horizontal to a couche and let proof 2 hours. Preheat oven with stone to 450º, remove loaves from couche and place on pan-sprayed parchment paper with bran seams vertical (seams will hold because they have been pasted together)--in other words, you bake the loafs sideways. Bake on stone for about 25 minutes.

Deborah Hay: The Outlier as Insider
Michèle Steinwald, as told to Julie Caniglia
Nov 2012
A founding member of the Judson Dance Theater, Deborah Hay went from postmodern dance in Greenwich Village in the 1960s to living virtually off the grid in the 1970s, developing a pioneering practice that transforms the relationship between choreographer and dancer.

Cindy Sherman: Interview with a Chameleon
Kenneth Baker
Nov 2012
For years, Cindy Sherman tried to lose herself in her work, "literally and figuratively, so that I would never be recognized." But in recent years, she tells the San Francisco Chronicle's Kenneth Baker, she's let go of that pressure to hide. "I didn't want the challenge of constantly trying to reinvent myself or invent new characters; that shouldn't be the reason why I'm doing what I'm doing."

Makavejev's defining work is one of eerily appropriate juxtapositions, fact and fiction, old footage and new. Ostensibly a documentary about psychiatrist Wilhelm Reich (the WR of the title), the film begins with a roughly half-hour discussion of Reich's theories. As Freud's first assistant, Reich was fascinated with sex and sexual politics, and he pioneered theories regarding the "orgone," a kind of cosmic energy with healing and sexually-charging powers. Reich's family, friends, and acquaintances are interviewed, with his far-out theories and therapies displayed for the viewer, as well as a chronicling of his rapid fall from grace, which culminated in the destruction of his work by the FDA in a late 1950s book-burning.

PROVO, Utah Ś It took a jury 11 hours to return a guilty verdict on Friday for Utah doctor Martin MacNeill, accused of killing his wife six years ago.
The decision from the five-man, three-woman jury came after 13 days of testimony over four weeks, where prosecutors tried to build their case alleging MacNeill gave his wife, 50-year-old Michele MacNeill, a fatal cocktail of prescription drugs, then drowned her in a bathtub in their Pleasant Grove, Utah, home. The motive, they argued, was to continue an affair with 37-year-old Gypsy Jyll Willis.
As the guilty verdict was read at 1:10 a.m. Saturday, Michele MacNeillĺs supporters Ś including her sisters, her friends and two of her daughters Ś gasped loudly as the verdict was announced, and immediately began sobbing and hugging. Martin MacNeill showed little to no emotion.
ôWeĺre just so happy he canĺt hurt anyone else,ö daughter Alexis Somers tearfully told a crowd of media after the verdict was read. ôů There is justice for my mom today.ö
Martin MacNeill, 57, was found guilty of murder, a first-degree felony, and obstruction of justice, a second-degree felony. He faces up to life in prison when he is sentenced on Jan. 7.
Deputy Utah County Attorney Chad Grunander told members of the media at about 2:30 a.m. Saturday that Martin MacNeillĺs case was the most difficult he had ever prosecuted.
ôWe are absolutely thrilled,ö Grunander said of the verdict. ôIt was an amazing moment to meet with the familyů I love it when the system works and it worked these last four weeks.ö
Martin MacNeillĺs defense attorney, Randy Spencer, declined to speak with the media after the verdict, but said, ôOf course, Iĺm disappointed.ö
Grunander said during closing arguments Friday morning that the drugs given to Michele MacNeill after she underwent plastic surgery was her husbandĺs cover to hide an ôalmostö perfect murder.
ôAlong the way, he left a number of clues that all point to him as a murderer,ö he told the jury.
For prosecutors, Grunander said the most damning piece of evidence was a government identification application that Martin MacNeill, 57, submitted for Willis, who represented herself in the application as his wife, Jillian MacNeill. On the line asking for their wedding date, Martin MacNeill inked April 14, 2007 Ś the day of Michele MacNeillĺs funeral.
ôThat is not short of an admission of guilt,ö Grunander told the jury during closing arguments. ôHe might as well have said in that application, ĹI murdered Michele.ĺö
Reasonable doubt
But Spencer countered that there was no evidence presented by the state ôthat rises to the level of beyond a reasonable doubt.ö He accused prosecutors of ôcherry-pickingö facts that support their theory that Martin MacNeill killed his wife in order to welcome Willis into his life.
Spencer pointed to wording in the Utah medical examinerĺs report indicating that drug toxicity ôcould potentiallyö or ômay have had an effectö on the womanĺs death.
That equals reasonable doubt, Spencer argued.
ôI feel like I could sit down right now, because the medical testimony is so clear,ö Spencer said about 20 minutes into his 90-minute closing argument.
Spencer says there was no evidence that anyone but Michele MacNeill, herself, gave her any medications on the morning she died, April 11, 2007.
ôEven if [Martin MacNeill] did, the medications were low,ö Spencer said, adding the drug levels found in the womanĺs system were at therapeutic levels. ôThey were very, very low.ö
Michele MacNeill was found unconscious in her bathtub by her 6-year-old daughter, Ada MacNeill. The child was sent by her father to a neighborĺs house to get help, and eventually Michele MacNeill was pulled from the bathtub by a neighbor and Martin MacNeill. The two attempted CPR before medical crews arrived.
During the trial, the jury heard from a number of witnesses, including Willis, several of Martin MacNeillĺs daughters Ś who believe he killed their mother Ś and two inmates who claimed the defendant confessed the alleged murder to them.
Prosecutors weaved a narrative that focused on Martin MacNeillĺs bad or odd behavior Ś including the growing seriousness of his affair with Willis, his insistence that Michele MacNeill have a face-lift, asking that extra medications be prescribed for the woman and his reaction to his wifeĺs death Ś all added up to murder.
ôThere is a mountain of circumstantial evidence here, ladies and gentleman,ö Grunander told the jury Friday.
However, the state Medical Examinerĺs Office has never ruled the womanĺs death a homicide, a fact that Spencer said showed reasonable doubt that Michele MacNeill was murdered.
After an autopsy in 2007, Michele MacNeillĺs manner of death was ruled ônatural,ö the result of ôchronic hypertension and myocarditis, which are capable of causing acute unexpected arrhythmia and sudden death.ö
But investigators say Martin MacNeill called the medical examiner multiple times and gave misleading information. In 2010, in a new investigative report, Chief Medical Examiner Todd Grey changed the cause of death to the combined effects of heart disease and drug toxicity. The manner of death was changed to ôundetermined.ö
Martin MacNeillĺs attorneys argued at trial that the man had an alibi at the time Michele MacNeill died because he was at work at the Utah State Developmental Center. However, prosecutors pointed out in their closing arguments that there is a window of time Ś between 9:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. on the day of Michele MacNeillĺs death Ś where Martin MacNeillĺs whereabouts are unknown.
Despite the defenseĺs attempt to establish an alibi, Grunander said that Martin MacNeill had plenty of time to leave work and ôtake care of businessö at home.
ôGive Michele the drugs, fix her up a bath, get her in the tub, hold her head down a little while. Help her out,ö Grunander said, paraphrasing the testimony of an inmate who claims Martin MacNeill confessed the killing to him.
The defense called only four witnesses, including a former co-worker of Martin MacNeill and his childĺs kindergarten teacher, to back his alibi theory that he was at work at the time of Michele MacNeillĺs death and could not have killed her.
Defense attorneys also brought in an ergonomics expert, who told the jury it would have been difficult for Martin MacNeill to have lifted his wife from the bathtub by himself.
Martin MacNeill did not take the witness stand in his own defense.

I watched 60 Minutes piece a couple weeks ago about Benghazi. My take-away was that people in embassies in places like Benghazi have a risky job and we should be grateful that they are willing to do this. And there are definitely some lessons to be learned like from other incidents in the past.
Lindsey Graham's take-away was that Obama needs to get all the witnesses to testify to congress and he's not going to approve any nominations like the Federal Reserve Chairman until this happens. Of course my take is he's just being political, trying to find ways to attack Obama and Democrats. What does the Federal Reserve Chairman have to do with embassy attacks?
Now, it turns out the guy in the 60 Minutes piece lied. He was a senior Benghazi security person, worked for the state department, etc. but wasn't at Benghazi during or after the attack, so everything he said in the 60 Minutes piece was a lie.
My question is, is this just some guy trying to build a story so he can sell books?
Or he is a secret plant by the Obama people to show how idiotic the Republicans are for talking about Benghazi? Sort of like Breitbart's stories about Obama people helping prostitutes avoid paying taxes, which killed that organization, even though Breitbart's story was later shown to be a lie.Nov 8, 2013 at 2:09 pm #2042621
Now, I am not sure he lied, after all he was only quoted one time.
Maybe the New York Times Editorial Board will chime in and say he just "misspoke" or wasn't understood correctly.
I think the real questions regarding Benghazi are why no one in the US government responded to multiple request for increased security in a rapidly deteriorating environment. And more importantly, who lacked the balls to send in military forces to rescue Americans during the 8 hour attack.Nov 8, 2013 at 2:23 pm #2042624
"Now, I am not sure he lied, after all he was only quoted one time."
60 minutes did an entire piece. 15 minutes of air time? The interview must have been much longer. He said he scaled the wall after the attack, hit a Lybian in the face with the butt of his rifle,…, talked about some of the lessons we should learn (or some of the incompetent mistakes that Obama and Hillary personally made if you interpret it like Lindsay Graham : ). I would call that more than quoted one time.
But he also made a report to his bosses that said he wasn't there at all. Either he lied to them or he lied to 60 Minutes. Saying he scaled the wall after the attack and hit someone in the face is not just a subtle misunderstanding, I think you could call that a lie.
Maybe he's trying to defame 60 Minutes? But Lara Logan said they checked out his story – like he really was a primary person in security there so why would he lie about being there right after the attack? Maybe they should have vetted him more before putting on air? This may hurt 60 Minutes reputation in the future.
"I think the real questions regarding Benghazi are why no one in the US government responded to multiple request for increased security in a rapidly deteriorating environment. And more importantly, who lacked the balls to send in military forces to rescue Americans during the 8 hour attack."
Maybe that's Lindsay Graham's and McCain's argument. Afterwards it's easy to "Monday morning quarterback". I hope the State Department has examined this and made changes so it's less likely to happen in the future.
What's funny is that now for the next many years, there will be conspiracy theororists quoting this guy…Nov 8, 2013 at 3:14 pm #2042632
Well maybe you're right about his lying. I was going to give him the benefit of the doubt since he didn't say "I was inside that compound, period". You know maybe he just misspoke.
What did you think of the President's comments on keeping your insurance and doctors?Nov 8, 2013 at 3:33 pm #2042643
No benefit of doubt – he made up the whole story – the only question is why?
I think Obama sort of apologized for saying people could keep their insurance.
He certainly said that people could keep their policies, clearly, a zillion times.
The people that can't keep their insurance is because it doesn't meet minimum standards. Relatively few people. Most of them can get a new policy for about the same price.
I think a pretty clear purpose of the law was to get most everyone on a good policy, so if people with substandard policies are getting better ones, even if they have to pay more, that's a good thing and consistent with the purpose of the law.
If someone had a substandard policy, and they relied on all of us to bail them out if they got really sick, then it's unreasonable to be pissed because now they have to pay a little more for a decent policy.
I'll grant that it's possible the minimum standards in the law may not be reasonable. Like someone should probably be allowed to have just catastrophic insurance and pay routine stuff themselves. It's what was politically possible to pass. Over the long run, someone will pay about the same whether they get just catastrophic insurance or a more complete policy, so it's not really that big a deal.Nov 8, 2013 at 3:47 pm #2042648
You're pretty tolerant of the President's situation on telling a non truth on ObamaCare.
The sub-standard argument seems pretty weak, is it really the purpose of the federal government to dictate the content of an insurance policy?
At any rate, why do you think the President misspoke on keeping your insurance and doctors?Nov 8, 2013 at 5:19 pm #2042679
"At any rate, why do you think the President misspoke on keeping your insurance and doctors?"
He should have said "unless you're under insured" after he said "you can keep your insurance". That probably would have complicated things and he wanted to keep things simple, and get re-elected.
I think it's the purpose of the federal government to "provide for the general welfare"
Many people are not getting good health care. Many people have to declare bankruptsy when they get very sick. The cost of health care has gone up much faster than inflation until now it costs so much its a drag on the economy. Therefore, it's reasonable for the federal government to do something. This would be "providing for the general welfare".Nov 8, 2013 at 9:07 pm #2042720

My Lefty friends said after the episode ran "What's new there?".
And I agreed with them. There was nothing new in the segment except this guy trying to insert himself into it.
The shameful facts are still the same shameful facts.
"Over the long run, someone will pay about the same whether they get just catastrophic insurance or a more complete policy, so it's not really that big a deal."
What is this statement based on?Nov 8, 2013 at 10:58 pm #2042743

Just off the cuff.
If you just have catastrophic, you'll pay less until a time you get sick more, then you'll pay more so it will somewhat even out.
If an insurance company has a 15% profit, maybe you'll pay that much more for the non-catastrophic portion of your coverage compared to just paying out of pocket.Nov 9, 2013 at 11:28 am #2042824

@jenmitolLocale: In my dreams....
First of all, not sure why you guys are talking about insurance in a Benghazi thread, but I'll bite.
The whole point of requiring people to have at least a minimum insurance policy is because the system is going to treat them no matter what. Which means if their insurance plan doesn't pay, and they can't repay $750k for their stroke, then you and I are going to pay for it.
This is such a republican argument it's not even funny…for the life of me I can't understand why conservatives, who are so in favor of "personal responsibility," don't love the fact that people now HAVE to have the means to be financially responsible for their own medical care, instead of forcing the government, taxpayers, or hospitals to take care of them.
You can still buy a "bronze" plan on the exchanges, which is a catastrophic plan.
And I do find it interesting that several people who have actually gone on the air with their stories of "being kicked off their insurance plans" actually could get a better deal with Obamacare. See fox's Greta van Susterens take down of a CBS news customer who lost her insurance….Nov 9, 2013 at 1:00 pm #2042839

Because Obama proposed it. And by "Obama", I mean the Democrats : )Nov 9, 2013 at 2:00 pm #2042853
Well I guess it depends on your definition of "personal responsibility".
To have a behavior or action be demanded by law with the threat of financial penalties is hardly taking personal responsibility. It's merely being compliant to an over reaching central government.Nov 10, 2013 at 7:24 am #2042999

Jerry, concerning your OP
By the way, I do not really consider abc, CBS, NBC, fox, msnbc , USA today ,and many more, to be a reliable source of news. Not only is a lot of it shoddy journalism with some slant, but what they do not report on, or barely touch on, is astonishing to me.Nov 10, 2013 at 8:15 am #2043007
Yeah, good point, rather than denying it for a week, CBS should have just said "We are currently looking into this serious matter to determine if he misled us, and if so, we will make a correction."
It's funny how often people do that. Like Clinton saying "I did not have sex with that woman… Monika Lewinski…". If he couldn't have admitted to anything he should have just said he's not commenting on it.
When we get caught red handed, we often try to deny it, even if that denial actually makes things worse. If we're lucky, it will go away, or else it eventually blows up and further denial is impossible.
Or Martha Stewart. If she had just admitted to insider trading, she would have got a slap on the wrist. But she had to deny it which eventually landed her in jail.
Or Anthony Weiner
Or Mark Sanford – that's a good one because whenever I go off backpacking for a few nights, my wife and I joke about it being on the Appallachion Trail
Tonight's 60 Minutes should be a good one. Will they say "we're going to get to the bottom of this, and find out how it could happen." or will they say "they're moving on".
And funny how when you go to the original story it says "page not found" rather than some explanation
I agree that mainstream media has it's limitations, but there is good info there too. Especially MSNBC : )Nov 10, 2013 at 2:43 pm #2043091

Is this thread about a guy that said he was in Libya? Maybe he was accosted by two guys in NYC asking him "What's the frequency Kenneth?" Maybe that explains why he did not recall what happened. Good thing he can get ACA since it sounds like an existing condition.

Ways to Die on a City Street
When you're tired of life, a city street
Is an excellent place to die.
If it's your maker you're longing to meet,
Go outside. This verse will tell why.
A cleaner is sprucing a window
Precariously high, he's earning his bread,
When he lets go of his bucket though,
It picks up speed before hitting your head.
A woman is walking her pitbull,
She's well fit, the dog's friendly, it's fine.
But while you're busy getting an eyeful,
The Bus driver just cannot stop in time.
This morning you hear on the news,
A loony's escaped from the bin.
It's a million to one that he meets you,
But your dismal lotto numbers are coming in.
A Vendor is selling his lunch snacks,
You buy something he's claiming is meat.
That afternoon you soil your own slacks,
By evening your immune system's beat.
In my opinion, there are too many foes
When you dare to venture outside.
I'm staying indoors reading poems and prose
And scribbling away on Protagonize.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 - 7 nights
Come and enjoy this beautiful completely refurnished property located only minutes from the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon and Historic Wellsboro. Relish in the beauty and seclusion of this mountain property and enjoy activities such as biking, four-wheeling and hiking all located within walking distance from the home. A short drive down the scenic mountain will get you to Pine Creek for fishing, rafting, etc. and a wide selection of different restaurants to satisfy your palette.
Come, stretch-out, and relax in our Master Bedroom and enjoy the views off our balcony porch. Fix yourself a lovely dinner in our fully equipped kitchen and watch the wildlife from the two-story windows in the dining room. The view is amazing! We are fortunate to have many animals frequent our feeders including bear, deer, squirrels, chipmunks, birds, etc. In any day, you never know what you will get to see.
Come experience a vacation unlike any other. Get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and come and see why they call this place 'God's Country'.
Keywords: Beautiful home located on top of a mountain
Just wanted to say Thank you and to your family for sharing the beautiful mountain home. We had a very good time and enjoyed the mountain and Wellsboro. In addition, we did get to see Sabastain (the bear)and a few of his cousins.
This is the second time my family and I have stayed at this wonderful home in the mountains. It's a perfect place to get away from it all and easily located close to Wellesboro. From a great stocked kitchen to a fantastic great room, this property has it all. Definitely need four wheel drive to get there in the winter, but my husband throughly enjoyed driving the mountainous terrain. My kids loved the hiking trails and the snow!! We highly recommend this place!
This was a wonderful house nestled in a beautiful area. Our family enjoyed every minute of our relaxing three nights there. Plenty of room for everyone and the kids loved the basement. We had a little trouble finding it as we drove in at night, but otherwise no problems at all. Took a detour down a different mountain road and stumbled upon some great hiking trails along the Asaph creek I guess. Loved exploring the PA Grand Canyon and wellsboro during the day. Hiked the rim trail and had a bald eagle fly off a tree right in front of us. Breathtaking!
Would definitely come back again to this house!
Excellent and well maintained property in the midst of beautiful natural surroundings. Ample space for a family get together in peace and quiet
Three of my girlfriends and myself stayed at the Tshudy home for 3 days to enjoy the fall foliage of the Pa Grand Canyon and surrounding area. The house was an awesome retreat. It was even more beautiful in person. The grounds were amazing. We enjoyed the fire pit and also had a visit from one of the bears. The house was well maintained and the kitchen was well equipped. We also ate out one night at the Log cabin not far from the house. I highly recommend eating here the food was excellent and the owner treated us great.
My family & I have stayed at the Tshudy Mountain home several times while in Wellsboro. This place is charmingly amazing. Our first stay there was for Dickenson's of Christmas weekend and to walk in and see a Christmas tree lite made our stay very magically. Our 4 yr grandson still refers to it as Gram & P's sleep over house. We returned there for a second year on Dickenson's weekend & enjoyed a snow fall. Our third trip was a short trip in the spring, but just as enjoyable. Love, Love, Love this place!!!!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our escape to the mountains and this counted as one of the most enjoyable vacations we've had in a long time. Everything was perfect from the deer that greeted us at the feeder on our arrival to the beautiful and well kept home. We had a bear sighting mid week and spent numerous hours enjoying a fire in the fire pit. There is plenty to do in the surrounding area and we tried to take in as much as we could in the time we had. We will definitely be looking to book again in the future.
'Four-Wheeling Trails are plentiful throughout the vicinity of the Home'.'There are miles and miles of snowmobiling trails throughout the area.'

Time Travel
Notes: Seems like I was a pretty angsty eco-warrior.
I realise I've never cried before
I've saved the tears up, more and more.
Until I travel to the end of time;
Then I'll cry, for all Mankind.
When will we notice the damage we cause?
When will we recognise Nature's loss?
The birds, the bees, the plants, the trees
All die with everything Man achieves.
And then I'll mourn for sweet, sweet life:
From New York to Texas, from Ayr to Fife -
Our "glorious" machines, our "marvellous" brain -
But Man's ways don't change, we stay the same.
We are God's most notorious curse
The world treats us fair, we treat it worse.
Animals look with wonder at the only one Earth,
But we take it for granted, ignore its worth.
I've decided now, that's it, no more.
Man's evil deeds shake me to the core.
If I could die, just die right now,
Or go back and save the world...
But how?

Don't believe all that bad news coming out of Sydney as the Summer Olympics approach - it's all media hype and political grandstanding.
That's the message from a top International Olympic Committee official on the eve of a crucial review of Sydney's preparations for the games.
With less than five months before the opening ceremony, Sydney appears mired in trouble - from ticketing controversies to labour disputes to budget problems to threats of violent protests by Aboriginals.
These issues and others will be addressed on Tuesday when Sydney organisers make their latest progress report to the IOC executive board.
IOC vice president Dick Pound said there's nothing to be worked up about.
"Reading the local media and listening to local politicians - assuming you have the stomach or patience for either - you might be forgiven for thinking we have serious problems, that sponsors are pulling out, that the organising committee is in disarray, that we are facing serious financial problems," Pound said.
"Nothing could be further from the truth," he said. "We are set for one of the most spectacular Olympic Games we have ever seen. The Sydney organisers are further ahead, and have a better handle on the issues than any previous Olympic organising committee."
Speaking at a sports business conference in London, Pound said Sydney's problems have been exaggerated by the Australian media.
"The Australian public's passion for sport, plus the fact that there are four competing daily newspapers in Sydney, have put the organising committee under the spotlight, and in the tender hands of the local media on a daily, if not hourly, basis.
"This is a spotlight that no company in the world could endure, where every single issue is analyzed, not always objectively nor even knowledgeably, under the microscope and dissected. In the end though, it will all come together and our Australian partners will put on one of the greatest shows the world has ever seen."
Pound's comments mark a big change from his pronouncements at the last IOC board meeting in Sydney two months ago.
Then, Pound blasted Sydney organisers for having a "dysfunctional relationship" with sponsors, treating sponsorship dollars as a "milk cow," and setting wildly unrealistic marketing revenue targets.
Sydney organising chief Michael Knight accused Pound of using the outburst to boost his chances of succeeding Juan Antonio Samaranch as IOC president next year. The next day, the two men exchanged kisses on the cheek in a symbolic gesture of reconciliation.
Since then, reports of Sydney's troubles have only continued:
- Protesters have vowed to lay down in front of bulldozers when construction of the beach volleyball venue starts next month at the famous Bondi Beach.
- The rowing and canoeing venue at Penrith has been plagued by floating weeds.
- Sydney's train and bus drivers have threatened to go on strike during the games.
- International non-rights-holding broadcasters have protested against plans by Sydney organizers to ban them from Homebush, the main Olympic precint where the majority of sports venues are located.
- Sydney's ticketing policy has run into more controversy, with organizers forced to drop plans to make Visa credit cards the only form of payment in the next round of ticket sales.
But the biggest worry comes from threats of violent protests by Aboriginal activists during the September 15-October 1 games.
The warnings followed the leak of a governmment report stating that accounts of the estimated 100,000 Aboriginal children taken from their families - known as the "stolen generation" - were exaggerated.
"If you want to see burning cars and burning buildings, then come over," said senior Aboriginal activist Charles Perkins.
Kevan Gosper, Australia's IOC executive board member, said he was deeply concerned by the developments and hoped the IOC could File Stouse its influence to calm the situation.
Meanwhile, the IOC will address several other matters during its three-day board meeting:
- The IOC may consider East Timor's request to participate in the Sydney Games. The former Indonesian province, which voted for independence last year and is under United Nations administration, does not fulfill the criteria for Olympic recognition. But some officials would like to find a way for East Timor to be represented, at least symbolically, in Sydney.
- The IOC is likely to move forward by two weeks the dates of the 2004 Athens Games - from August to July - to avoid conflicts with European soccer competitions.
- The IOC will review the work of the new World Anti-Doping Agency, including plans to conduct 2,500 out-of-competition drug tests before the Sydney Games, and assess the continuing research into developing a reliable test for the banned hormone EPO.
- Organisers of the 2002 Winter Games in Salt Lake City will report to the IOC board by video conference on Wednesday.
- The IOC board will hold joint meetings with leaders of the Olympic winter and summer sports federations. The 27 summer sports are expected to decide how they will split up more than $100 million in television revenues from the Sydney Games.

Looking for Love
Are these eyes scared?
scared of what they will see next
And what they won't
Is this heart burised?
From the punches it has recived
From the lack of comfort
Are these ears tired?
Of hearing the same thing over and over
and of listening for what they long to hear
Is this body tired of love?
Of searching and not finding
Maybe but this soul isn't ready to quit

2359. Siberia.
Many miles across, an endless labyrinth of trenches and settlements stretches as far as the eye can see. It is the 24th Century and there is only war.
It is the Cold Front. Each day, five men are shot - their bodies used to keep the fires alight. The fires glitter in the snow - beacons to those who seek death.
Like pilgrims on a lonely trail, dozens arrive every day. Dozens arrive in this forsaken place to die. They come from as far west as Poland. As far east as Mongolia.
Sooner or later, they all die.
These two half-nations remain locked in contempt and hatred. With no fuel to burn, they burn ammunition. The constant chatter of ancient machine guns. A thousand dead every day. Those that aren't burned lie in the snow, hidden and preserved through the ages. There are stories of men finding their grandfathers lying in the snow, perfectly preserved. There are stories of men looting their grandfathers for their ever-precious ammunition.
To the south, the ruins of Moscow lie untouched by either side. The old city is home only to bandits and barbarians now. Feral children lost in the cities from the old years are all grown up now. They form tribes. They form cults. In one of the most advanced cities of the old years, isolated people practice primitive rituals. Fire is worshiped for the life it brings.
It is the 24th century. Mankind is nothing but an ancient relic. A stain on the face of the Earth. And every day, more die. The old cities become tombs, ancient monuments to the civilisations that once existed there. For there is no civilised life-form on Earth now. There is merely a struggle between the wild and the foul. The untamed and the corrupt.
Humanity peaked and humanity fell. Nowhere is safe anymore. The snow is slowly reclaiming its lost territory. One by one, the fires are going out.

Raw Cotton Rags
Yomi's story
I was born and raised in East Flatbush, Brooklyn. I am a son of Africa by way of Jamaica and Trinidad. I am a child of Garvey who told us to be self-reliant and to be organized. I have been an organizer most of my life and have always been independent-minded.
I believe it is consciousness that creates reality and have always been interested in raising African people's consciousness about their history and culture. I am all about empowering African people and creating a more just society for everyone.
Raw Cotton Rags is part of my vision for raising consciousness and empowering African people who are the inspiration behind our designs. As we grow, it is my goal to become as independent as possible from major corporations. From the sewing of t-shirts to the server that hosts our site, I am striving to reach a point where every cent invested in our company goes into the hands of socially progressive and responsible small businesses. Most importantly, one of the primary reasons for the founding of Raw Cotton is to raise money to fund innovative community organizing programs and direct action campaigns in marginalized Black & Brown neighborhoods throughout America.
This loan is special because:

More about this loan
Business Description
Raw Cotton is a graphic t-shirt and accessory company started in 2009 in Brooklyn, NY. Our designs offer a raw, unapologetic look at the culture and experiences of African (Black) people in the Americas (and other People of Color). While our designs are primarily born out of the Black experience, they are for anyone who feels connected to them and inspired to wear them.
We are not concerned with political correctness. On the other hand, we are not obsessed with being "radical" or "conscious". Each design is born from Black love, life, pain, pleasure, beauty, ugliness, suffering, and struggle. There is little concern over what might be too controversial. We are committed to offering unique and innovative designs that go far beyond simply parroting popular opinion. We offer you voices that fill voids and images that stimulate movement.
We say things that aren't publicly being said…but that so many of us are thinking. We make connections that aren't often being made, but are often right under our noses. And, just as importantly, we offer designs that are just plain fly.
What is the purpose of this loan?
With this loan i'll be able to replace my broken direct-to-garment printer. This will allow me to print my own shirts instead of having to use a print-on-demand site. This will allow me to make my shirts more affordable to my consumers and still increase my profit margin by 100%. I will also use this loan for social media marketing, a photo shoot which will expand my business. I will also be able to buy more inventory and participate in upcoming festivals and fairs.

My first pair in Cloud color (dark denim) size 12L. could have done a 10L but needed a little leg room. Didn't care for the black (in the store) so got identical pair in case of loss.
Then I told my cousin. She found a pair size 6 Regular in Muse (lightly distressed denim) but needed a Long and darker denim. (We are both 5'9")
So I ordered online a pair of Cloud 6L for her and a pair of Muse 12L for myself. That's all so far but we thought maybe they were getting sold out. Can't beat the price or the look of these jeans!
Cousin and I both in our 60's so we know a thing or two about Jeans! Thank you Levis Signature and Walmart! P.S. They washed beautifully.
I'm almost afraid to let this secret out! Ladies these jeans are awesome! I was on the hunt when the weather got cooler for some skinny jeans to wear with my riding boots! I have never bought jeans from Walmart before but somehow I stumbled across these jeans. You know that feeling of when you instantly know that you love something and you want to buy it!? That feeling of "OH YEAH I am getting these!" ? Well, that was how I felt when I put these on! There was no thinking about it or debating it! I was SO happy that I found these! I bought both colors! From now on when I need jeans I WILL be going to Walmart for more of this brand! They are very comfortable and fit me like a glove! The only thing that I would suggest is when you are trying these on in the store grab several of the same size and color because for me, with the black pair one fit better than the other. Each pair is a little bit different, so one pair may fit better than the other, just try on until you find that "OH YEAH" pair! And for less than $20 a pair? You can't beat it!
I have lost a fair amount of weight due to a healthier lifestyle and am always so thankful for stretch jeans as I am still losing weight it is quite difficult for me to choose the right size when ordering clothing online.
I purchased these in a size 18 long, I used to wear size 24 pants. My goal is to get to a size 12. The belly - muffin top - is often the last place we women lose weight and I am no exception. I really like the fit of these though they are a bit baggy in the rear and upper thigh in the back but that's mainly due to the fact that I still need to accomodate my larger waist via upsizing. They still look great though! I'm going to order another pair in size 16 long and see how those work.
The nice part is they are great for casual or for dressing up a bit. I am very glad to see clothing being offered in tall sizes, I love the extra length.
I ordered the 'cloud' color and will also be ordering these in black but due to other reviews will stick with the 18 on those as it seems they are a bit stiffer.
Most comfortable jeans I've owned in ages!
I ordered both colors. The lighter color is an classic medium blue, and the darker color basically looks black. Its more black then blue. The darker pair fit a size smaller than the lighter pair, probably because it is a stiffer, less stretchy, material. Here are the measurements to the 16 longs: Dark pair rise 9.5, waist 36, length 33 leg opening 13. Light pair rise 10 waist 36 length 33.5 leg opening 13. I ordered a size smaller in the light blue because it was so stretchy, the darker pair really has very little give though. I am really grateful to find these jeans because it is so hard to find skinny jeans that come in long lengths. I am 5'11'' and these actually go to my feet rather than stop above my ankle like most other pairs ive tried. I really love Signature by levi jeans, please keep offering them, and keep the new stylish varieties coming!
I am a short 5'1" gal with a belly pouch. My legs and hips are skinny, however, I have to order a larger size (20) to fit my belly area. All 20 jeans are way to baggy everywhere! These jeans fit so nice! I don't look bigger and saggier than I am. I love it!
These are the most comfortable jeans I have ever bought, and they fit like a glove...perfect. I love the soft stretchy fabric. The darker pair I didn't like as well, they seemed tighter and less comfortable, but the "cloud" color was perfect. Best pair of Levi's Ive ever had...and Ive had a lot. Price is great too. I saw them at another store for $29.99 Great deal Walmart!
I have so much trouble buying jeans that fit...If they fit in the waist, then they are bagging in the thighs and legs.....But these are the BEST jeans I have ever owned......They fit just below the waist....and form to the body well...I have a large waist for my thin legs....and small butt....and am short...5'3"....These in Short are perfect!.....I have now purchased 6 pairs in case they are not available in the future......I recently retired so wear jeans daily.......I also think they are dressier than most jeans...maybe because of the fit.....
I couldn't find mid-rise skinny jeans anywhere else. Since they look like jeans but are stretchy, they are more comfortable than any pants I have!
LOVE these jeans. They go well with everything and the fit is excellent! I couldn't be happier with them. I am 5'8" and about 145 lbs. I wear a size 10 and they fit true to size. Excellent with flats, heels and boots. Very sexy fit. Dress them up with a blazer and you're ready for casual night out or just a great every day look. You can't go wrong with these. I have the dark wash...looks black. Buy these...you will not be disappointed!
I recently found a pair of these jeans on the clearance rack at my local Walmart. I've never been able to fit skinny jeans because of my larger thighs so I figured these probably wouldn't work either but I was wrong. They are super spandex stretchy and have a really nice slim fit but aren't cutting off circulation at all. They don't pinch, poke, or ride up and don't make my thighs look huge, in fact, I actually look "skinny" when I wear them. The material is really soft and seems to retain it's shape throughout the day.
The only small complaint that I have is that in the back waist area, they kinda bulge out since I have a curvy back side and also, they aren't really what I would consider mid-rise; more like a lower rise, but I do have a long torso, so I run into this a lot with jeans that say they are mid-rise.
I am 5'4, 135lb and normally can wear a size 4 but ended up getting a 6 regular in these and they are still form fitting, I think the 4 would have been pretty tight and not as comfortable. The are just a tad bit long but when you wear boots with them, you'd never know.
These are acceptable but I like the original"The Skinny" jean better, which they no longer make. These are tighter and the denim colors aren't as concentrated but overall, they work for me. Please, bring back the original Skinny in the darker denim!
For the price, this is great! I have had a hard time finding a mid to high rise skinny jean, but these are great! They run a little big because the fabric has a lot of stretch to it, so if you do not have a really curvy figure, I'm sure going down a size wouldn't hurt.
In the winter, almost all I wear is skinny jeans, Uggs, and a rotation of cute tops. I thought I've had favorite skinnies in the past, but these jeans are hands down, THE BEST! They are very stretchy, which is good because I like them to fit very close to form, but of course want them to be comfy. But they don't stretch out during the day, the way I have found alot of jeans do that have spandex in them. Also, a big plus is they aren't quite as low-rise as other ones I've had, so I'm not yanking them up all the time. (But they're definitely not waist-highs either). Also, it doesn't hurt that they were only 20 bucks! I now have 3 pairs, and they all fit consistently well. I don't normally shop for clothes at Walmart, but I may have to rethink that! Love 'em, love 'em, love 'em. In case you're wondering about sizing, I am 5'6", 135 lbs with longish legs and the size 8 regular is perfect.
LOVE theses jeans! I'm apple shaped and these are the only jeans that aren't elastic waist that actually fit my waist and are tight in the legs! I just wish they came in colors!!!
I am in love with Levi Signature skinny jeans (midrise)! They provide a contemporary look without making you look like you are trying to wear you daughter's jeans. I am in my early 40s and these fit perfectly everywhere. They can be dressed up with a nice blouse and ankle boots or worn casually with a flats and a tshirt. The mid-rise covers well and is comfortable and the legs are fitted just perfectly; not too tight or loose. They have the perfect amount of stretch that gives them a very comfortable, all-day fit without looking like jeggings. My size and style have been sold out at my local Walmart and it looks like my size is sold out online, too. Please Walmart, restock these jeans. It appears I'm not the only one who loves this brand and style!
These are great jeans especially for the price. I am 5'7" and weigh 135lbs and fit a size 4 long. In more expensive jeans I usually wear a size 6 long. I was worried that the waist would be too tight but they are not. There is a lot of stretch in these jeans. They are very comfortable. I really like the mid rise as it keeps everything inside and covered when I bend or sit.
These jeans are made nice, and the sizing seems to be accurate. I purchased the average length (I'm 5'5"") and the length is perfect. They have a lot of stretch so they're easy to get on and they're comfortable to wear. The fancy stitching on the back pockets is done nicely. For the price I kind of expected a lesser quality but was pleasantly surprised. My only complaint is I would have liked the rise to be a little higher. It's listed as mid-rise but for someone in their 40's I would like a little more coverage in the back. I would definitely purchase more if they were available in a lighter color denim.
Absolutley the MOST comfortable jeans I've ever worn! These jeans look and feel better than my HUE leggings I purchased last year for twice the price. I am a 12 / 13 / 14 L depending on the jeans I'm trying on. These jeans have great stretch in the belly -- exactly where I need it. (Good "eating jeans", if ya know what I mean)! The denim is thin and soft on my skin -- great to wear even in the summer. No butt sag or waist gaps. No irritating stitching inside the waist band. I found ONE pair in an out of town Walmart in my size quite by accident. Three additional trips to local Walmarts left me disappointed -- outta stock. I was thrilled to find these jeans online and ordered the cloud and muse with confidence (both are a medium blue and don't really look different in color side by side). Today, I just ordered two more pair -- I want a fresh pair for each day of my working week! They do stretch over the course of the day, and if I wear one pair two days in a row, I find myself tugging them up at the end of the second day. I've never been so happy with a pair of jeans in my life. I didn't even think a comfortable pair of jeans existed in the real world. To find these jeans and pay just twenty bucks for them... well that's just icing on the cake!
Fit perfectly well and excellent price for Levis, wanted to buy more but ran out in both size and color in 4s
