The title of my talk should be changed to "A Perspective from One American." It will not be a view from all of America, but just one American, and a slightly odd one at that because I have spent part of my career studying Japan. It is probably fair to say that I know more about Japan than most Americans, so this may be a slightly different perspective than one would get from the average American legal scholar.
Nevertheless, I initially shared Prof. Kobayashi's sense that he and I had the easier job, which is to discuss the law and not the difficult metaphysical issues. Law is concrete: There are statutes and court cases. But in my conclusion, I find myself differing from Prof. Kobayashi in a number of respects.
I will start with two relatively simple points. First, from any rational perspective, viewed against the backdrop of the legal systems of the rest of the world, freedom of religion in Japan looks very good. A fairly broad scope of action is permitted, and very little regulation inhibits religion. There are the usual bureaucratic problems. There are complications and difficulties of a sort that we will discuss in a bit more detail in a moment. But by and large, compared to the vast majority of countries in the world, the picture of freedom of religion in Japan looks quite good.
Having said that, let me make my second point, which is that there are trends in Japan that, as a longtime observer of Japan, I find somewhat worrisome. I am not persuaded that the actions of the administrative agencies, the legislature, or the courts are adequately attentive to the kinds of protection that religion really needs in Japan. Let me elaborate that point by starting from the proposition that law is very difficult to examine in the abstract. Law is designed to serve a particular social purpose. It derives from the current needs of the people. Those needs in turn generally derive from the historical background of that country as well as the current sociological and political situation. It is against that backdrop that I question some of the legal doctrine that has developed in Japan over the last three decades.
Let me start with what I think is perhaps the simplest proposition that informs my thinking about Japan today. As you think about how principles of church-state relationships develop around the world, each country has its own peculiar history. But if one looks particularly at Europe, where the concept of freedom of religion first developed in its strongest form, you see that the problem was essentially not that the state was controlling or suppressing religion, but precisely the opposite. The question in most cases was that religion was exerting undue influence on the state—at least from the perspective of the development of civil society. The impact and effect of religion were very strong.
If we look at the United Kingdom, for example, much of the struggle between church and state was over whether the state could act independently, irrespective of the wishes of the church, the church being largely identified in the person of the pope. Certainly, in the unification of Germany, that was Bismarck's problem. He brought into the state a very large Catholic population. The loyalty of that population to the pope and the pope's ability to control the political processes in Germany were his central preoccupations.
If you go back a hundred years before that and look at a number of countries around Europe, much of the issue was how does the state get itself out from under the control of the pope. In France, the revolution was at least partially related to that. The king was ruling by divine right and, therefore, had some investiture from a religious authority. The people wanted to separate themselves from that kind of religious control and develop a democratic system, a republican system, in which the people were not subject to the control of the religion and the state was not subject to the control of the religion. That is at least part of the problem that some of the countries in eastern Europe face as they try to figure out how to strike the balance between religion and civil society.
Only when that was accomplished did the European countries turn to the second set of issues—those issues of freedom from the power of the state with respect to the individual's religious practices or the freedom of religion from the power of the state. It is from that point in history that America was established. That is the debate that we see in America. But that debate goes on in America only because the prior debate had been settled some 50 to 100 years earlier in most of the European countries and some 150 years earlier in England, the country from which the United States derived most of its political tradition.
Japan, on the other hand, would present a somewhat different case. Certainly in premodern Japan the relationship between church and state was not a particularly complicated one. Shintoism was extremely decentralized. It was not heavily controlled by the state nor did it have much relationship to or effect on the state, though it did have a very deep relationship to the population.
With the Meiji restoration, however, the state's relationship to religion changed dramatically. At that point the state needed some form of legitimizing ethic or myth, and it began to identify Shintoism as an attractive vehicle for generating a certain kind of political support.
Shintoism, along with the Japanese versions of Buddhism and Confucianism, had explained such concepts as death and the afterlife to a large extent in terms of the continuity of souls connected to the family. Therefore, the perpetuation of life extended in an unbroken line from ancestors to the current generation to future descendants. It was a very short leap from that kind of doctrinal base to thinking that one might be able to manipulate the doctrines of Shintoism to place the emperor at the head of the line. Standing at the head not only of the lineage but of the state makes the perpetuation of the state dependent on the perpetuation of the emperor's lineage.
Indeed, when one looks at the actions of the government in the period of the Meiji restoration—and this is a very complicated history, which I am shortening—one sees that the government takes a number of steps to accomplish this use of religion. First, they separate Buddhism and Shintoism. This results in a great deal of problems for Buddhism, because Buddhist temples had often been the superior temples with the Shinto shrines within the same temple complex. Now those two are to be separated. Many of the Buddhist shrines are, in fact, looted, with the property taken by Shinto organizations. More importantly, the government separates sectarian Shintoism from shrine Shintoism. Shrine Shintoism becomes the principal repository or the performer of the national rites. Those are the rites that are central to the notion of unification. So shrine Shinto becomes ritualistic and administrative and not particularly pastoral in its dimensions.
It is this set of rituals that provide a very important component in defining the national myth, defining the essence of being Japanese, and defining the essence of the country. As we talk about respecting long religious traditions in Japan, I would posit that in fact those traditions are not very long in their history. Neither are they very traditional. In fact, they were often created or adopted by the government and manipulated to create a certain kind of national ethic. This enshrined the emperor as the symbol of the cult of national unity, which in turn became becomes an important variable.
The second important variable is the quest to enhance nationalism. The enshrinement of the glorious war was a way of generating a particular kind of patriotism, national unity, and national ethic. In fact, if you trace the growth of state Shinto and shrine Shinto, it actually begins most strongly in 1905 with the Russo-Japanese War and was further expressed in the Sino-Japanese War and then World War II. That enshrinement provides a very powerful impetus toward national unity.
Viewed from that perspective, Shintoism begins to occupy a space in the public sphere that necessarily begins to push out other religions that would find this kind of ideology antithetical to their beliefs. For example, Christians are generally required to participate in the imperial rites. Christian schools are required to have different kinds of shrines within the school and have a shrine representing the emperor. So you begin to see this kind of indoctrination.
In addition, you begin to see the development of political and legal doctrines that suggest non-participation is akin to treason, perhaps a violation of the peace preservation law. For the most part, Shinto does not really object to this incorporation because it enfranchises Shinto to a very strong degree. A provision in the Meiji constitution protects freedom of religion, but it is highly qualified: Religion is protected as long as it is not inconsistent with a whole range of other things.
Historical records suggest that freedom of religion was put in the constitution largely because people felt that foreign countries would demand that kind of provision before agreeing to revise the unequal treaties. In fact, there is a wonderful quotation by Ito Hirobumi, one of the of the constitution's principal drafters. He says something like the following in his commentaries after the promulgation of the constitution: "Faith is a matter of heart, but law and order require that general constraints be placed on public expressions of one's heart." Then he gives a list of various necessary constraints—rituals, proselytizing, speaking in public, and organizing meetings. That doesn't leave very much room, except for being a religious adherent in the privacy of your own home, as long as one does not speak about it, gather together, or in any way perform communal activities.
All people were required to participate in Shinto, and those who did not were subject to relatively severe penalties. Christian professors who refused to participate in the rites were dismissed from their positions. Steps were taken against religions that were thought to be somehow antithetical, such as the Omotokyo in 1935, which had its headquarters destroyed. Other religions were banned outright. Should any doubt remain that this is what the government intended, in 1940 it passed the Religious Organizations Law, which required all religions to register to be recognized. Only those religions that supported the teaching of the emperor's divinity were recognized. In addition, in 1941 the Peace Preservation Law was amended to authorize the police to investigate and suppress religious groups that denied or opposed the national policy of emperor worship.
It is against this backdrop that the promulgation of the modern constitution of Japan and the occupation forces' attempt to dismantle state Shinto take place. Charles Cates, one of the chiefs of the government section of the occupation, said, "we wanted to not only close the door on state Shintoism but also to throw away the key so it could not be opened." The occupiers were very clear about that. They wanted to prevent religion from becoming a tool of nationalism. They took a series of steps to do that: They stopped state support of Shinto and made shrine Shinto simply another form of religion that needed to be registered under the Religious Organizations Law, as well as promulgating the two constitutional provisions that we have seen.
Interestingly, these provisions were not directly modeled on the U.S. Constitution but more on that of the Philippines. They actually have a very close linguistic connection to that constitution. Now this was effective in many ways. It inevitably discredited shrine Shinto in an important way and resulted in a dramatic expansion of religious organizations. At the moment there are 180,000 different religions registered under the Religious Organizations Law.
Let me conclude with a couple of thoughts about why I think this history is so relevant and why I worry a bit about current trends. The Japanese government has achieved an extraordinary degree of economic development and peace and prosperity. However, it continues to look for a set of legitimizing principles. Somehow democracy, liberalism, and capitalism do not seem sufficient as a unified ethic or national myth. One indication of this is the extent to which there has been a decades-long debate about what it means to be Japanese and what is unique about the Japanese—the famous Nihonjim Ron debate. Ethnicity alone does not seem to be adequate.
The government has made some clear attempts to again identify Japan with the myth of Shinto and the emperor to some extent. Legislation has been introduced in the Diet five times that would revive state support for at least some limited form of shrine Shinto, particularly the Yasukuni shrine, the Esai shrine, and so forth. In addition, as Prof. Kobayashi suggested, there are a large number of occasions on which local officials participate, by making financial contributions or in other ways, in local Shinto activities.
In light of that history, the courts, in my judgment, have not been overly vigorous in protecting the principle of freedom of religion. From that perspective—and trying to ensure that the state does not resume trying to manipulate religion in order to create a certain kind of national ethic and national unity—we have the ruling in the Ji-Chin Sai case that was talked about earlier. Certainly, one may look at the purpose and effects test and say that it was a purpose perhaps. It was a secular activity, and the effect did not particularly promote religion. But the ruling goes on to say it did not exceed the limits considered appropriate in the context of societal and cultural circumstances considering Japan's history, in a way suggesting that this practice was traditional. It has been done in the past, so this is not such a bad thing.
It would seem to me, as an outsider looking at that past history, that, in fact, the Supreme Court should have said precisely because of Japan's history and the prior extent to which the government manipulated those symbols, this sort of activity should be carefully guarded against.
I think the same is true about the Self-Defense Forces' enshrinement case. In that case, again, the religious activities objectively followed common sense and did not seem to have a particular purpose. The court said that the Self-Defense Forces were merely engaged in a clerical task by providing names to the Shinto or the bereavement organization to be enshrined. The problems of that analysis are twofold. One is that the Self-Defense Forces were not providing those names to other religions, even though other religions had requested them. So you have, in fact, a problem of discrimination.
Second, you have a fairly severe problem in that it was precisely those kinds of clerical acts that enfranchised Shinto at the expense of other religions. It is also a problematic case, because it does not seem to recognize the fact that tolerance, if excessively applied, can itself become a doctrine of intolerance. That is to say, the widow's right to exclusivity in her belief is something that the court does not credit at all. That itself, I think, has a long historical background.
I have a few thoughts on the Aum Sinrikyo incident and developments since then, but let me skip that and just conclude with these thoughts. One is that I do think Japan provides a very broad space for religion in the public square. Nevertheless, there are some worrisome signs. The courts are not enforcing the current protections with the kind of vigor that would be suggested as necessary in view of Japan's history. Even the more recent Ehime case, which is a move in the right direction, nevertheless has doctrines built into it that seem to me to provide, in light of Japanese history, excessive flexibility. This is likely to be a particular problem in the coming years. As a number have suggested at this conference, an increasing number of people are interested in exploring the religious side of their lives, resulting in the growth in new religions. The need for adequate space for religions, which themselves will be at some level exclusive liturgies in their own way, is critical.

Al - If you haven't trammed an antenna before, also be aware that unless the tram line is very taught there is a lot of sag in the line as the antenna reaches the top of the tower. With only 18 inches of clearance you'll have to keep this in mind when you rig the tram line. Good luck. 73, Bob - W3YY -----Original Message----- From: email@example.com [mailto:email@example.com] On Behalf Of Al, N6TA Sent: Sunday, November 23, 2008 4:54 AM To: firstname.lastname@example.com Subject: [TowerTalk] Tramming help sought I won't bore the readers with the usual retread questions. Already did the reading etc. and lowered the old beam a month ago. This is one on how to rig the haul line to pull up the 110 lb SteppIr yagi. The tram line is to be rigged about 3 feet above the top on the Rohn 45 tower which has a flat top plate. The boom will be mounted right above the top plate. The tram line is continuous in that it goes thru a pulley and down to a 'back stay point'. Trying to allow the tram line some ability to move but direct most of the force down the mast to the rotor. The beam will be hung from a sling that connects a pulley to the tram line. The boom will hang about 18 inches below the tram line. A tiller/torque arm will be attached 'behind' the boom, keeping the boom from rotating in two axes. The haul line is half inch polyester double braid and will be tied to the boom close to the CG point. The bracket that holds the tram line above the tower top has a place for a pulley to be mounted for the haul line, probably attached with a snap link or shackle. The question I have is how to rig the haul line's pulley such that I can pull straight down and not have interference with the tower's top plate. The bracket for the pulley is about 3 inches out from the mast and the tower needs about 9 inches clearance from the mast to go straight down without rubbing on the edge of the top plate. I fear way too much friction if I allow this. I lowered the prior beam this way and used the friction to advantage but do not want such issues when pulling up the new beam. If I rig the haul line pulley ( a CMI 2.375 inch 95% eff. rescue type) such that it is hanging out far enough to clear the top plate, I end up pulling sideways on the mast. There must be a standard practice here but I have not yet read any postings about this detail. I usually just 'go for it' and keep the fingers crossed. I have way too many PhDs in the School of Hard Knocks and prefer to not get another.... If I can pull the beam up as far as it can get, to the haul line pulley, I plan to relax the tram line and let it settle the boom down where it will rest on the top plate until I can use other means to raise it the 6 inches to the boom to mast plate. Willing to call to talk about it. Tnx in advance. Al N6TA Yeah, I'm missing the CW test due to delay in getting this up. _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list email@example.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list firstname.lastname@example.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk

Satan's E-Mail is Insecure
So, wait, what about those e-mails leaked by AT&T's legal department that completely destroy the entirety of AT&T's argument? Most importantly, the e-mails show to be false AT&T's claims that the only way to grow their network is through the purchase of T-Mobile.
How is this merger even still up for review? Is the illusion of a government for the people even a tenant the corrupt seek to uphold or have they realized that Joe Consumer doesn't give a shit anymore so long as he can buy a new iPhone every couple of years?
Oh, right, sorry, that's exactly what it is. They're rich and corrupt and we're lazy and complacent.
Carry on.

No offensive linemen. No margin for error. No problem for the Dolphins.
The Dolphins survived the Chargers 20-16 Sunday evening with just enough offense, just enough defense — and just enough charity from San Diego.
Their reward: a move into a tie with the Jets for the sixth and final playoff spot in the AFC — with two games against New York still to play.
The Chargers had the ball and a chance to win, but Cameron Wake made a drive-altering sack, and Brent Grimes knocked down the last pass of the game to seal it.
Ryan Tannehill completed 22 of 35 passes for 268 yards with a touchdown and a pick for the Dolphins, who won for just the second time in seven games.
The day began with more bad news for the Dolphins' wafer-thin offensive line: Mike Pouncey was ruled out of the game. In his absence, Nate Garner slid over to center, and newly signed Sam Brenner started at left guard.
Pouncey had missed Friday's practice due to an illness that sent him to the hospital, but it was not believed to be a major issue at the time.
The Dolphins were already without Jonathan Martin (who's away from the team) and Richie Incognito (suspended). Plus, top reserve lineman Will Yeatman is out for the year with a torn ACL.
The patchwork group held up well on Miami's first drive, giving Tannehill time to direct an 11-play, 76-yard drive that resulted in a 22-yard Caleb Sturgis field goal.
The Dolphins' defense followed that up with a play of its own. Philip Rivers overthrew Vincent Brown down the right sideline, and Grimes made an acrobatic interception to snuff out the drive.
But Tannehill gave it right back. A play after Derek Cox dropped an interception, Tannehill threw another one to Johnny Patrick.

It is only normal, even natural, that as the people of Tunisia and Egypt rose up in righteous rebellion, we would rejoice at their rising, reaffirming the essentiality and urgency of their resistance, and standing in steadfast solidarity with them as they wage these heroic and historic struggles. And it is likewise to be expected that, caught up in the uplifting moment and meaning of the movement, we would tend to interpret their actions in the most expansive terms, reading achieved revolution into a still-unfolding revolt.
This we feel and do first because we realize these struggles are unfolding in Africa and are part of a continent-wide struggle of African peoples for freedom, justice, security, well-being and participatory, representative and responsive governance. Also, as pan-Africanists, we see these struggles as essential to breaking the back of neo-colonial domination and dependence and moving the African continent forward toward the long-sought goals of unity, self-determination and development in the clear and uncompromising interests of its people.
Moreover, seeing the sign "I Have a Dream" and similar ones in Tunisia and witnessing the call for "A Million Man March" in Egypt reminds us of the special instructive, inspiring and transformative role we, as an oppressed, struggling and freedom-cherishing people have played and must continue to play in the unfolding history of the world. And as Malcolm taught us, we must play this role, not as mindless assistants and servants of American empire, but rather as self-conscious soldiers and allies in the rightful global rebellion against oppression, exploitation and injustice in the world.
Finally, as Fanon teaches us, we see it as a moral obligation to sanction and support all struggles of the oppressed for liberation and the good, decent and dignity-affirming life all humans desire and deserve. And thus, we, like all others in the world who still embrace and engage the struggle for good in the world as a moral imperative, are uplifted and reaffirmed every time we witness even a small struggle. For we know, as Malcolm taught and told us, it could be that spark that ignites a forest fire that joined to others cleanses the world in a righteous, just and promising way.
Clearly, then, we do and must stand in steadfast solidarity with these heroic people and all oppressed and struggling people, but there are some cautionary notes we need to write down, regularly read and always remember. First and foremost, the source and center, author and ultimate arbiter of revolt and revolution are the people themselves. It is they who initiate it, whether revolution or revolt, who carry it to a decisive victory and guard it against wrongful reinterpretation, reversal or the tendency to become exhausted and enticed to settle for less. And so, we give them praise and pay rightful homage to the martyrs who are a mirror and model of the commitment and ultimate sacrifice the liberation struggle asks us to be ready to embrace and make.
Given the awesome cost, casualties and heavy burdens that are bound to come with any serious liberation struggle, it is important in this age of excessive and misleading assumptions about the power of personal informational technology that we not go along with the illusion that this kind of technology is the source of the people's rebellion and resistance. It is the people of Tunisia and Egypt from whom the idea and energy of resistance emerged and expressed itself. It is they who suffered and sacrificed, were killed or wounded, rundown, trampled, detained, tortured, firebombed and assaulted by thugs, regular and secret police, and those in the intelligence service.
This too is a lesson worth noting: it is true the revolution will not only not be televised, it will not be formed, fought or won on Facebook, Google, YouTube, Twitter or any of their fellow cyberspace travellers. It cannot be televised or tweeted because revolution is not an event, but a process, not a spectacle to be televised, but an ongoing task to be completed, a persistent radical practice of a people to free itself, secure the material ground for its well-being and the social and ethical ground for its flourishing. Therefore, even though the removal of a dictator is essential, it is not the broad, deep rooted, far-reaching and systemic change revolution requires.
It is said that the technology puts the people in struggle, in touch with the outside world, but to what real and realizable purpose? Clearly, it is advantageous to break beyond the walls the occupier and oppressor builds around you, to tell your story to the world and win allies. But the lessons of Haiti, Congo, Palestine and other sites of brutal oppression prove that even people who know are often silent and insensitive, and even sanction a favored oppressor's action against the oppressed. There is clearly a selective morality here, one that has the audacity to attempt to give the oppressor equal or even superior status to the oppressed, contradicting every sacred text worthy of the name.
This is why we must make a distinction between allies in struggle and episodic and passive watchers searching for signs of themselves, of their technological innovations, ideas and cultural trappings and claiming to have sparked a revolution. Already, the international spectators have folded their Facebook and Twitter tents in Tunisia and will no doubt soon tire of Egypt's efforts to free itself, not just from the dictator, but also from the personnel and structural remnants of his reign. And they will also almost surely pull back from the critique of and resistance to the U.S. and Israeli deep involvement in the Mubarak regime's corruption, coercion, rendition, selling off of financial services and natural resources of the country, and suppression of the Egyptian people's continuing commitment to the Palestine liberation struggle.
So the untelevised revolution must and will continue and instead of the talk of the personal technology of watching and wording, there will be a need to discuss and deal decisively with the technology of suppression: the spy satellites, drones, helicopters, tanks, armored cars, smart bombs, jet planes and all the other devices of death used by both the oppressive elites and their imperial suppliers and handlers. As Fanon noted, "the struggle for national liberation does not consist in spanning the gap at one stride, the drama has to be played out in all its difficulty every day." Thus, a revolutionary structure and practice must be created, grounded and sustained in the daily lives of the people and there is no quick or mechanical way to accomplish or avoid this.

Reviews forSmoky Baked Beans
My Review
Average Rating
"I made this the other day for a Brunch. I did not have the sausage or steak seasoning and did not add the brown sugar. Got RAVE reviews! This is easy and a keeper!"
"I was pretty happy with the way these beans turned out. I probably added twice the amount of a smoky steak seasoning that I had on hand, and with the liquid smoke, it gave it a good flavor."
"Forgot on my review to 5 star this recipe!! And mother of 3 you ommit the good flavors!!"
"Awesome Smokey Baked Beans!! My family loves them!! Once you taste them you will be hooked!!"
"Hubby wasn't really impressed. Something missing he said. I forgot the mustard & steak seasoning. Omitted the sugar & diced tom with chilies, but used Trader Joe's Smoky BBQ sauce; it's very spicy. Think our fellowship would like it immensely."
"These baked beans are absolutely delish!!! I am always asked to make baked beans for family functions, and I always thought I made really good baked beans until I tried this recipe and realized I had so much room for inmprovement!! I omitted the kidney beans due to personal preference and used Johnsonville Hot Italian Sausage as I couldn't find plain sausage, and the flavors mingled so well it was unbelievable. I got countless compliments on these beans, and cannot wait to make them again!! I highly recommend this recipe - you won't be disappointed. Thanks for sharing this recipe!"
"Rave reviews!!!"
"This was awesome. Doubled the recipe for husbands work cookout and it made a full large crockpot full. Sweet and smoky with a bite. Definitely a keeper. Husband was proud to take it to work."
"I wonder what makes this dish so hign in carb? I like bake beans but the carbs for 3/4 cups is just too much. I also wonder what the sugar reading would be. that is what made me give this a 3 star"
"I just made this but substituted 1 lb of hamburger instead of sausage. This is an absolute keeper. In fact, I'm making it for the office BBQ party next week. So easy and so good. And inexpensive to make."

Next, Obama can begin freeing convicted murderers from Federal prisons while blaming Republicans for it. Then he can free all the cobras from the zoos and release clouds of toxic waste while laughing manically... just to make a point about budget cuts.
It's not clear if this is supposed to be some kind of Sequester threat or a preview of the planned Obama/Gang of 8 Illegal Alien Amnesty. Or maybe both.
If it's the former, then Obama has descended to supervillain status.
What's next? Shutting off the water supply or closing all the coal plants unless he receives 1 trillion dollars in spending money? Well he's already done the latter, so maybe swarms of killer bees. And if that fails, he'll pull out his biggest gun and preempt prime time television programming with another speech full of false choices and croakers.
The federal government released groups of illegal immigrants from custody across the country Monday at the same time the White House was making its case that impending budget cuts would harm efforts to protect the border and enforce federal immigration laws.
Advocates reported "waves" of illegal immigrants being released from at least three detention centers in Texas, Florida and Louisiana.
Next, Obama can begin freeing convicted murderers from Federal prisons while blaming Republicans for it. Then he can free all the cobras from the zoos and release clouds of toxic waste while laughing manically... just to make a point about budget cuts.
U.S. Immigration Customs and Enforcement confirmed the release of some illegal immigrants Monday night but would not say how many or from which detention centers.
"In order to make the best use of our limited detention resources in the current fiscal climate and to manage our detention population under current congressionally mandated levels, ICE has directed field offices to review the detained population to ensure it is in line with available funding," said ICE spokeswoman Gillian Christensen. "As a result of this review, a number of detained aliens have been released around the country and placed on an appropriate, more cost-effective form of supervised release."
Obama is using Federal custody in a Federal agency to make a budget point while endangering the public and breaking the law. In a law-abiding country, this would be a crime. In a banana republic, it's just another day at work.
"We're getting reports from multiple detention centers in Texas, Florida and New Orleans where detainees who are low priority are being released in mass without bond," Domenic Powell, a spokesman for the National Immigrant Youth Alliance, an immigration advocacy group, said Monday night.
Next up, release the Kraken. That will show those Republicans.

Our sewing guild's community service project this year was Painted Turtle Pillows for Paul Newman's Hole in the Wall camps for seriously ill children. They asked that we make more boy themed pillows than girls so I made several boy themed and the rest were generic. I made 16 in all! Guess I'll just have to replace all that fabric now. Darn! When stuffed, the body, head, feet and tail will all be puffed up.
Just a few - Purchased some of the fabric from board members

Michigan State Football: Spartans Have 49th Ranked Recruiting Class for 2012January 19, 2012
National Signing Day is less than two weeks away. This is typically the day when we tune into ESPN and watch five-star recruits from all over the nation sitting in their high school gyms at a podium. Seated next to them are usually their parents and their future agents (I'm kidding). Placed in front of them are three hats from different schools. When the big moment arrives, the athlete will usually give the old okie-doke fake out towards one of the hats before grabbing for his real choice. Generally speaking, the hats are from the usual suspect schools: Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Alabama, USC, Notre Dame, LSU, etc.
Michigan State fans should not expect anything different this year.
While many of you have commented in previous articles about Mark Dantonio's ability to turn two-star recruits and below into exceptional players for the Spartans (like Le'Veon Bell and B.J. Cunningham), it does not change the fact that the high profile guys still do not typically look towards East Lansing to play their college ball (William Gholston is the only five-star recruit the Spartans have nabbed in over 10 years).
As of Thursday, rivals.com has the Spartans tied for the 49th ranked recruiting class of 2012. http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/recruiting/teamrank/2012/all/all.
Michigan State currently has 14 committed players, including two four-star recruits.
Aaron Burbridge is a 6'1", 175 lbs receiver from Farmington Hills. He runs a blazing 4.4 40 and is the top rated receiving prospect in the state of Michigan. He will likely fill the void left by the departing Keshawn Martin.
Jamal Lyles is a 6'3", 215-pound defensive end, and was rated as the 19th best defensive end nationally in the 2012 class.
Of course, much will change between now and National Signing Day on February 1st. The Spartans may grab at least one or two more high profile recruits before everything is said and done. I expect the Spartans to move up into the top 30 in terms of recruiting class rank after all the letters of intent are faxed in.
The positive for Spartan fans is knowing that Michigan State has positioned itself as one of the top 10-15 programs in college football over the past two seasons, and they have done it with similarly ranked recruiting classes.

Video Tutorial:
Tutorial by Erin Pinkston Youtuber.
You will need:
- Canvas
- Image printed on photo paper – regular paper can tear and crumple up too easily
- Mod Podge – matte was used in the video but if you prefer gloss, go for it!
- Acrylic or craft paint
- Foam brushes
The first thing to do is to paint the edges. This is isn't a necessity but it really finishes the look nicely. After that is dry, apply a thin layer of Mod Podge to the top of the canvas and then carefully place your photo on top. After that is set and dried, paint a thin layer of Mod Podge over the top of the image. If you plan your brush strokes well—horizontal and vertical strokes—it will really look as if the image was printed onto the canvas instead of simply glued on. It's the perfect cheat!
I love the versatility of this project; you can do family portraits (we have some great posing tips for the best snaps) or pictures of beautiful wildlife or nature that you took yourself or simply found around the internet. These also make excellent personalized gifts so keep it in mind next time a birthday comes along!
If you're not keen on the canvas medium, try the same process on wooden boards, as demonstrated by ChelseaBlogs (Top photos come from her tutorial).

Jordi Alba couldn't hide his joy at being back at Barcelona. In his first press conference after signing with Barca from Valencia, the Spanish Euro
2012 star said, "I'm happy to come home, with my family and my people. I've realized my dream."
Barca soccer director Andoni Zubizarreta said Alba was "dynamic, deep, intense and he has excellent technical ability. He's good with both feet, he can play in different positions and he's enormously competitive."
Alba was visibly touched when a video of him playing at Barcelona's youth academy was shown. "No one likes to hear that they have to leave," he said, "but my conscience was clear and I left with my head held high. I believed in myself. Before I was a striker, now I'm a left back."

Covering the NFL for five years, I've seen some special performances by opposing players.
Covering the NFL for five years, I've seen some special performances by opposing players.
What Eli Manning did against the Bucs earlier this year was awesome, throwing for 510 yards in the come-from-behind victory.
Still, what New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees did against Tampa Bay last week was one of the best performances I've ever seen live by a quarterback.
Brees wasn't the game's leading passer (Tampa Bay's Josh Freeman threw for a career-high 420 yards). In fact, Brees threw for just 64 yards in the second half.
For the game, Brees was 27-of-37 for 377 yards and four touchdowns. Yet, his second quarter was one of near perfection.
The New Orleans gunslinger completed 12-of-15 passes for 205 yards and three touchdowns, as New Orleans turned a 21-7 deficit to a 28-21 lead.
He missed the first pass he threw in the second quarter and spiked another one to stop the clock. So at one point, Brees connected on 12-of-13 passes, including nine straight.
You've heard athletes talk about being in a zone? Brees was in his own world. It was like he was playing Madden. Or a reference I used on Twitter during the game was it was like he was playing 7-on-7.
It seemed every time Brees dropped back, he was connecting with a receiver.
Of all of the active Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks, Brees gets shortchanged.
People talk about Peyton Manning and his ability to run an offense and dissect a defense.
People talk about how Tom Brady is a winner.
They even mention Eli Manning and Aaron Rodgers among the top passers in the league.
Now you have the up-and-coming Robert Griffin III in D.C. and Andrew Luck in Indy.
Yet, the only credit Brees seems to get is for his pre-game hype chants, although they are pretty awesome.
Still, Brees has been performing at a high level since the team won the Super Bowl. And he has the NFL record of 48 games with at least one touchdown pass.
People toss the word elite around too easily.
But with Brees, the word fits naturally.

Written on: 21/03/2014
Ordered several items off of this website one of which being a treadmill costing just shy of £300 pounds.
Came with a cracked screen and a sticky speed up button meaning it was constantly increasing in speed without my say so then would not stop unless the emergency tab was removed.
Contacted their customer services as soon as these issues were noticed...to be fair I got fairly speedy responses considering the amount of complaints it seems they must deal with...no surprise there..
It was suggested that 'replacement parts' could be sent to fix the screen. How ludicrous! Regardless of whether I possess the know how or tools to do so..it should not be my responsibility to fix this...
Eventually, after sending photo and video evidence of the damage it was agreed that an exchange would be done. At first I was fairly pleased that the next working day was an option but when I said I would take them up on their offer they took it away and changed it to a later date.
When I asked how it was possible that the available day had changed in the space of an hour I was ignored.
I am now due to finally receive the working item a whole WEEK later than it was originally due even after I had paid for next working day delivery.
frustrated and furious.

Pick out all the weights that are stamped "Zn" or "Fe". Only fill your melter about 1/3 full, and heat it up kind of slow, and stir it occasionally. When the stuff melts, stir in some sawdust or some cooking grease and let it smoke, then skim out the clips. Turn it off just until the lead hardens, then add a bunch more weights and fire it up again. (if you are absolutely certain the weights are dry, you can skip the "wait until if just hardens" step)
It'll go a lot faster this time because of the residual heat in the clean lead at the bottom of the pot, and you can turn the fire up higher because you don't have to worry about any zinc weights trapped at the bottom of the pot.
Try to keep in under 700 degrees. You just need to heat past the liquidus point (when the slushiness goes away)
I have a 6 pound chunk of zinked lead that I haven't thrown away yet, cuz I can't throw anything out (you'd think I was a Great Depression baby.) I've heard that below about .5%, zinc is a good hardener, so I'm thinking about casting some half-dollar sized "coin" ingots from it and using 1 or 2 per 20# pot of soft lead. Of course 1 might be too much and then I'll really have a mess...

Hi, I'm playing The Beatles Rock Band by using the neogamma R6. I bought some songs via the game and tried to save them in my SD. They were saved in my wii, the game says that they are transfered to my SD. The thing is: They do not get off my wii system memory. I tried to manually delete the files and it worked at first, the songs appear to be loaded from the SD. But if I turn on the game, It says that "there are files that need to be moved to the SD", but they can't be moved at all, it displays a message that the SD card is corrupted. If I check the data management on my wii, there's less space then before and a "ghost file" (I really don't know what to call it. It's like an empty save data, but it's the first save file appearing, and not the one after my older save, like usual). I then go to the list of songs in the game and I find that there are some downloadable songs there and that they are being loaded from the wii. So I go to the music store, try to delete the songs and got a message that said :"Unable to delete content". Back to data management screen, I find that the "ghost file" has became a Beatles Rock Band DLC file. If I delete it, the message about the SD card being corrupted stops and I can play the songs I've downloaded previously just fine. But eventually the problem starts again. And even though it says that the files were transfered to my SD card, it's free blocks do not decrease. I'm guessing that the songs are still in my wii system memory in a sort of way, hence the constant files that are re-appearing at my data management screen.
Anyway, I searched about this and the cause appears to be running the game through the backup/USB launcher. But informations were kinda scarce, so I was wondering: There's any way to fix or get around that? Any help would be appreciated.
Oh, and btw, my wii system version is 3.2

Going into the playoffs, Chris Paul never could have imagined the weight that soon would be hoisted onto his shoulders. But then the Donald Sterling story broke, and everything changed.
Now that the Los Angeles Clippers' playoff run is over, the spotlight stays on Paul, but for a different reason. As the president of the players association, Paul is ultimately responsible for crafting the players' response to the Sterling situation. This could be a watershed moment for the union and its president -- who has been on the job for less than a year -- after recent events have rocked the union to its core.
The search is ongoing for a new union executive director to replace the deposed Billy Hunter. Until someone is named and takes over the post, the buck stops with Paul. This is the playing field Paul inherited, and which he must navigate as he seeks a successful resolution of the Sterling situation. This is a shot at redemption that could re-galvanize the players association. Rallying the players to collectively pressure Sterling could unify and strengthen the union moving forward.
So what options are available to Paul and Clippers players? The players union?

USA-All Blacks heads towards sell-out
ESPN Staff
July 31, 2014
Soldier Field will host the November game © Getty Images
Organisers of the November 1 match between USA and the All Blacks in Chicago are confidently predicting a sell-out with 49,000 of the 61,000 tickets already snapped up.
If Soldier Field, the home of the Chicago Bears, is sold out then it would be a record crowd for a rugby union match in the USA.
US Rugby will need to bring in as much money as it can from the game. Earlier in the month it was revealed it had had to pay US$1 million to cover New Zealand's costs for playing the match.
It will be the first match between the two sides on American soil since 1980.

Red Hot Chili Peppers & Jane's Addiction: Together Again
Red Hot Chili Peppers and Jane's Addiction are back together -- on the Alternative Songs chart, that is.
The iconic rock bands share space on the Nielsen BDS-based Alternative airplay chart this week as Jane's Addiction's "Irresistible Force" debuts at No. 22 while the Peppers' "The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie" jumps 2-1, marking its 12th topper on the list. (The chart will refresh on billboard.com on Thursday, Aug. 11.)
"Adventures" is the lead single from the Peppers' new album "I'm With You," due Aug. 30, while "Force" is the first offering from "The Great Escape Artist," out Sept. 27.
Surprisingly, the Peppers and Jane's -- despite having Alternative histories dating back to 1989 and 1988, respectively -- have only crossed paths once before on the chart. That was in 2003, when for 12 weeks between June and August, the Peppers' "Dosed" charted alongside Jane's No. 1 hit "Just Because."
With its 12th No. 1, the Peppers extend its record for the most leaders in the chart's 23-year history. Linkin Park is in second place, with 10.
Additionally, "Adventures" climbs to No. 1 in just four weeks -- marking the band's fifth song to hit the top that swiftly. "Dani California" debuted at No. 1 in 2006, "Soul to Squeeze" (1993) took two weeks, "By the Way" (2002) rose in three and "Scar Tissue" (1999) also took four weeks.
Red Hot Chili Peppers Bringing 'I'm With You' to the Big Screen
As for Jane's Addiction, "Irresistible Force" marks its first appearance on any singles chart since 2003, when "True Nature" charted on a number of rock tallies, including Alternative, where it hit No. 30.
On Alternative, "Irresistible" is its 10th entry. Its first came with "Jane Says" in 1988, which reached No. 6 in November of that year -- a mere two months after the chart made its Billboard debut. The band has three No. 1s: "Stop!," "Been Caught Stealing" and "Just Because."

As many businesses in the Middle East are building businesses with an eye toward not only regional but global growth, technology is playing a larger role than ever in organizations' advancements in the market. CIOs in the Middle East have quickly learned that customer experience is the area where investments in technology can pay dividends in growing a loyal client base, locally and globally. More and more, technology is being seen as a business enabler across the enterprise and a source of innovation and growth for the organization.
Technologies such as business intelligence and analytics have seen marked growth and, more recently, have been combined with other technologies in order to develop innovative new ways to achieve goals within the organization. But the adoption of new technology doesn't stop there. CIOs in the Middle East are identifying areas of improvement within the enterprise with the use of cloud computing, mobility, social media and more. As technology continues to be the industry that enterprises are relying upon to create exponential growth in their organizations, the competition is heating up. Business executives that see the power technology has in creating opportunity for their organization and their country are those growing most quickly.
CIOs in this rapidly growing region will gather to discuss the way they've used IT to transform the way the enterprise functions and grows at the CIO Summit Middle East. This event will provide a collaborative, intimate environment where solutions will be found, and common technology problems of a Middle East CIO will be at the forefront of the conversation. Find out how you can join us at this exciting gathering!

Mother'D Day - Poem by Jim Yerman
When I was young my mom, like most women, donned a hat when she went out.
They say this tradition originated in the Bible...and who am I to doubt?
My mom had a collection of hats she stored in boxes under her bed.
So many different kinds of bonnets to sit atop her head.
Moms of today are different they go out with their heads bare
But one thing they share with Moms of the past are the many hats they wear.
If we tried to count the hats they don...we couldn't...they go on indefinitely
Perhaps one way to approach it...would be alphabetically.
Moms are Accountants, Babysitters, Chauffeurs...They do what Doctors, and Electricians do
They are Farmers, Governors, Housekeepers, and Ice cream makers too.
They are Janitors, Kitchen and Laundry workers, and Maids who clean the floor.
They are Nurses, Optometrists, Painters and Quality control inspectors at the store.
They are Receptionists, Seamstresses, and Teachers...they can Upholster that sofa or chair
They are Valets, Washroom Attendants and X-Ray technicians...they show up anytime and anywhere.
They are Yard engineers and any Mom I know is also a keeper of the Zoo
That's 26 different hats they wear...26 different jobs that all Moms do.
Moms are the original and still the best multi-taskers the world has ever met.
In fact, I didn't run out of hats for them...I ran out of alphabet.
I guess it's a good thing each job doesn't have a hat that sits atop Moms head
For there wouldn't be enough room to store them in boxes under their beds.
They are visionaries, they are cheerleaders, so much of our existence they adorn
Yet they had no experience as a mother until their own children were born.
Because it was at that miraculous moment, not in any Epistle, Gospel or psalm
When they smiled at their baby and realized for the first time......'I'm a a Mom.'
For that is the hat that encompasses the rest...the hat we call motherhood
And I must admit, if I say so myself, you Moms make that hat look good.
So Moms, here's to a wonderful Mother's Day as this poem bids you all adieu
For all the many hats you wear...our hats are off to you.

The arrangements on Let Him Hear My Heart are a manisfestation of fine and meticulous craftsmanship and immense talent. The vocalist has a hand in six of the ten arrangements here, a seamless mix of horns and string washes and Latin grooves; and when Resto isn't putting the charts together, Renee Leyva is, on the cool percolations of "Gracias" and "Lejos," the most percussive and most "Latin" sounding tunes on the disc.
The disc's liner notes compare Resto's singing to Nancy Wilson's, and that seems fair and accurate, but I hear at times a hint of the deeper, richer tones of Marilyn McCoo.
Now back to the hard-to-believe-it's-a-debut theme: Norah Jones is mentioned in the liner notes in comparison with Ms. Resto. Jones is a talented young singer, but it's pretty obvious that she falls into the "developing artist" category, someone who is being handled well by some very astute music business people. And more power to her. Deborah Resto, on the other hand, has emerged on this debut disc as a fully-formed artist: she arranged or co-arranged most of the songs; and she also wrote or co-wrote eight of the ten tunes – all very melodic, approachable, hit-worthy offerings, especially the title cut. It would be a crying shame if "Let Him Hear My Heart" can't find a place on a radio format somewhere – adult contemporary, smooth jazz, Latin sounds.
This is a finely-crafted piece of art, and guess who produced it? I'll give you a hint: her initials stand for Deborah Resto. You won't find many debut efforts this good.

The editorial staff at MLSsoccer.com is looking back over the year with our "Best of 2010" awards, running Dec. 13 through Jan. 2. Each day we'll hand out an award from a variety of categories culled from the storylines of Major League Soccer and the North American soccer scene.
Former New England Revolution and current Fulham star Clint Dempsey ran away with the Export of the Year, recognizing the American who made the biggest waves outside the United States.
Around the time America's all-time greatest export, BrianMcBride, was mulling retirement, countryman Clint Dempsey was ensuring his namewould remain as legendary at Craven Cottage as McBride's.
Former Fulham captain McBride may have a stadium barnamed after him, but Dempsey etched his name deep into the memories of Fulhamfans when he helped lead the Cottagers to the Europa League final earlier thisyear.
It was Dempsey's audacious chipped goal against Italiangiants Juventus that competed an unlikely comeback and thrust Fulham into thequarterfinals of the competition. British newspaper TheGuardian said the effort "might become the most famous goal inFulham history." Ergo, Dempsey's legend was secured.
Watch the editors debate the Export of the Year award:
But that goal was simply the highlight of yet anothermemorable year for the forward — even though, early on, 2010 looked to be alost cause.
Days after being named among the top 11 EPL players by Italian daily Gazzetta dello Sport, Dempsey damaged his ACL on Jan. 17. Theinjury threatened to derail his season and even put his World Cup aspirationsinto doubt.
However, he was back on the pitch for the final minute ofthe first leg of Fulham's round-of-16 match against Juventus on March 11, andthe rest, as they say, is history.
Despite the injury, Dempsey finished the 2009-2010 seasonwith seven goals in all competitions, and the Texan-born 28-year-old hastallied five in this campaign. In fact, his improved play this year has led tospeculation about his future, linking him with a winter move to everyone fromLiverpool to Bayer Leverkusen.
But it's not necessarily the goals that have earnedDempsey MLSsoccer.com's Export of the Year nod — it's his durability, histenacity, his toughness and his ability to bring the drama when needed.
Simply put, Dempsey has demonstrated all those traitsAmerican sports fans hold dear and are more than happy to export.
Second Place: Stuart Holden
Just like Dempsey, Holden's entire year — including hisWorld Cup dreams — looked to be shelved after Holland's Nigel de Jong broke theAmerican's leg in an international friendly on March 3.
Just days before, Holden had impressed in his full leaguedebut and his EPL future appeared to be promising. However, following the injury, manyassumed he would have to move on from Bolton after his short-term contract expired in the summer.
Instead, Wanderers offered the former Dynamo midfielder a new contract only days after the injury and he has done plenty to repay that faith by becoming one ofEPL's most valuable players.
Third Place: Hérculez Gómez
Gómez seemingly appeared out of nowhere in 2010 to securea place on Bob Bradley's World Cup team. The former Kansas City striker tallied10 goals for Mexican side Puebla in the last Clausura to become the firstAmerican to win or tie for a scoring title in a foreign league.
Perhaps more impressive, though, is that thequintessential role player achieved this feat despite starting the majority ofthe season on the bench.
His early year heroics also earned him a higher profile move to perennial contenders Pachuca and an appearance in the FIFA Club World Cup in December.
Honorable Mentions: Landon Donovan, Tim Howard, Steve Cherundolo,Michael Bradley, Carlos Bocanegra, Jose Francisco Torres.

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 1:07:24 — 30.9MB)
Show Summary
Adam welcomes Nick Offerman to the show, who you may recognize from Parks & Recreation on NBC, but is also a legitimate woodworker. Adam describes himself as being more on the home improvement side, whereas Nick is more about the work-shopping.
Adam offers some practical advice on having the correct tools on hand in your house. The guys then jump into some listener calls. Adam talks to a guy trying to install a French Door, and also discusses painting instead of staining your floors. Adam also talks about his favorite tools, and suggests flipping through a woodworking magazine to find unique ways to improve your workbench.
Nick brought in some canoe paddles he's been working on, and talks to Adam about how he made them. Nick also says that his workshop keeps him grounded, and he never expected to end up in show business. Adam talks about experiencing something similar, and explains that his genes are not the party social type.
Other calls Adam takes include a woman who doesn't know where to start on her fixer-upper, and a guy whose friend has an animal in the wall. Wrapping things up, Adam and Nick talk about their houses, and discuss different ways to improve an outdoor deck.
Watch Nick on Parks and Recreation. Season Premiere is January 20th at 9:30pm on NBC.

Five of the six people arrested as part of a major PSNI investigation into child sexual exploitation have been released.
Five men, aged between 19 and 56, were arrested in Ballymena yesterday morning on suspicion of rape and other related offences.
A 48-year-old female was also arrested on suspicion of aiding and abetting rape and false imprisonment.
Last night police said three men aged 23, 42 and 56, and a woman aged 48 had been released on police bail pending further inquiries.
A 19-year-old man was released pending a report to the Public Prosecution Service. A 27-year-old man remained in custody.
The PSNI said the arrests were not part of an investigation into organised abuse by a group, but formed part of a wider probe into child sexual exploitation.
Last year an independent inquiry found that child sexual exploitation was a "growing threat" to young people in Northern Ireland.
The Marshall inquiry also said it heard that individuals with links to paramilitary groups may have abused children.
The inquiry did not find the type of organised exploitation seen in Rotherham and Rochdale, but said that child sexual exploitation "must be regarded as a significant and growing threat to the welfare of children and young people".
Following yesterday's arrests, a number of searches were also carried out and several items removed for further examination.
Detective Chief Inspector Deirdre Bones, from the PSNI's Public Protection Branch, said the PSNI is committed to tackling child sexual exploitation.
"These arrests reflect our determination to apprehend those suspected of coercing, exploiting and abusing children and young people in this manner," she said.
"It is important to note that although these arrests all took place in the Ballymena area, the suspects are not all linked to each other. This is not about organised sexual abuse by a group of people.
"The arrests are part of a wider PSNI investigation focused on child sexual exploitation.
"The PSNI works closely with our partner agencies and this collaborative approach means we can focus our resources to prevent harm, detect crime and protect people," she added.
"We all have a responsibility to tackle this issue and protect those most vulnerable in our society.
"Child sexual exploitation is something that parents and carers everywhere need to be aware of.
"Think about what your children are doing, where they are going and who they are meeting."
Ms Bones advised parents or guardians that if they notice any changes in their child's behaviour or if they receive unexplained gifts that cannot be accounted for, such as jewellery or mobile phones, it is important to take action.

Renegade Craft Fair kicks off the 2010 season with its first-ever stop in Austin on May 15-16 at the Palmer Events Center. Seven years after its inception at Chicago's Wicker Park in 2003, it has expanded to include stops in Brooklyn, San Francisco and Los Angeles as well.
The two-day Austin event will feature more than 150 artists from around the country, as well as workshops with Austin Craft Mafia, Etsy, Public School, Stitch Lab, and the WonderCraft. There will also be a free photobooth and music from the Minor Mishap Marching Band and Shotgun Party. Two days is barely enough to take it all in, so check out the artists page here and start planning your attack on this sprawling event.
For Chicago lovers, there is now an actual brick and mortar Renegade Handmade store where the wares of more than 300 artists is stuffed under one roof. It's located in Wicker Park, of course, and online for those of us in the provinces.
Here's how to make a T-shirt bikini from Brooklyn's Fair a few years back:

got a broadband prob at the moment so trying to use phones as internet access points. ive used mine before for tethering on giffgaff, but it doesnt seem to be working as it did before. itll get google, but no other websites for some strange reason. i made it into a wifi hotspot instead and that works fine, but im limited to 1Gb data.
so...... ive looked at getting through the wifes '3' account. hers is unlimited data, but no tethering allowed. so i tried the wifi hotspot option and its working. my question is..... why is it working? i understand the difference between tethering and wifi hotspot but i cant understand how wifi hotspot is allowed but not tethering. surely its all the same data being used?

I was surprised by how small and broken-up the tea leaves were – it looked like something more suited to being inside of a tea bag. At the risk of sounding snobbish, if I have to pay $9 for 4oz of tea I'd really like for it to be good-quality whole-leaf stuff. And of course this was one of the pouches that hadn't been sealed properly so I ended up with half of it on the counter and the floor. >.<
Appearance aside, it has a nice blend of chai spices but I'm not really getting as much vanilla or caramel as I expected. I've had vanilla chais that were much creamier and richer than this one (Metropolitan Tea's Vanilla Chai comes to mind) so it was a bit of a let down. That isn't to say it's a bad-tasting tea or anything – as a plain chai blend it would have been fine. It's just a bit disappointing because I know Frank is capable of making better.

ASK any Quebec or Catalan expert what the real driver of their independence movements are and they will give you the same answer: language.
How they talk, what they talk, gives them their hecho diferencial, the thing that sets them apart from, respectively, other Canadians or Spaniards.
Well, not here. Scottish nationalists speak English and, usually, nothing but English. And that is a linguistic nicety that can get lost in translation.
Loading article content
This month Moscow's rolling news channel Vesti published a background article on its website to explain what all the fuss is about in Scotland. Its unwritten assumption: pro-independence sentiment is firmly linked with the language Russians too often (in my view) call "Scottish".
After the Union, the piece explained, "the idea of self-determination lived on and developed along with Gaelic". The 1872 Education Act, it added, effectively banned the language until Scots voted for their own parliament and a new law was passed in 2005 "to revive the national language and culture".
You get the picture: speaking Celtic and voting Yes in 2014 go hand in hand. Now Vesti did point out that fewer than 1% of Scots spoke Gaelic as a native by the time of 2001 census. Then it added:
"According to the [Edinburgh] agreement, citizens aged 16 and above will be able to take part in the referendum. "The question of who stands to gain from this lower starting age remains open.
"On one hand, the right to vote will go to children who educated in the new bilingual Scotland.
"On the other hand, most of those children don't consider Gaelic to be their native language so it is hard to say how close national self-determination will be to their hearts."
Now, obviously Scotland isn't bilingual; it is unusually monolingual. So we can scrub the idea all those joint English-Gaelic schools are churning out wee Yes voters.
No, what I found curious here was the notion that language must be a driver of nationalism. After all, there are plenty of independent states that share a language with a neighbour. Austria, anybody?
Another Russian expert late last year was interviewed on Radio Liberty, the station set up during the Cold War by the Americans and still going strong.
London-based commentator and journalist Andrei Ostalsky - without making any of the howlers of Vesti - stressed it could be hard for a foreigner to tell a Scot from an Englishman. They both, after all, speak English.
He said: "Some people insist that the drive for Scottish independence is always irrational.
"They say: go to Dublin, in the Republic of Ireland, which so ferociously fought for its independence and listen to what language people are speaking in the street.
"They are speaking English. Look at the signs above the shops - they are mostly in English. Look at what people are reading. It can be hard to tell the Irish from the English.
"And the Scots and English are historically even closer."
Me? I think Vesti and Mr Ostalsky have got this wrong. The independence movements in Ireland and Scotland have had little to do with languages. But let me know what you think.


text: Well, you can't win them all. My 1998 four part article on keeping cuttles has lots of good information about food and tank mates but one big mistake that I thought I'd corrected. 40 gallons is way too small for a full sized adult common cuttlefish. 100 gallons is more like it. The juveniles can be kept in large groups but the adults need room. Multiple males in any size system can cause problems. The common cuttlefish (S. officinalis) and Pharaoh cuttlefish (S. pharaonis) are more or less the same size. The biggest life history difference is the pharo likes it warm and has a life span about half as long as it's Mediterranean cousin. As for Metasepia, those guys are much smaller and can be housed in a much smaller systems. We would all like to breed them. Waikiki Aquarium and the NRCC have tried and as far as I know still haven't had any luck. James Wood Bermuda Biological Station

BRECKENRIDGE, Colo. (CBS4) – The runaway lawyer who lost hundreds of thousands of dollars of his clients' money pleaded guilty on Tuesday in Summit County Court.
One of the main points of contention in the plea deal for Royal "Scoop" Daniel was an issue over intent.
Daniel says he never wanted to take money from his clients. He says that after contemplating suicide, he left the country to try to regain the necessary funds.
Daniel's attorney said in court on Tuesday that the financial issues started in 2006 when a major client went bankrupt, leaving Daniel with major money issues. He shuffled money around to different bank accounts and finally, in 2007, decided to "walk away."
Daniel left the country in April 2007, and many in Summit County originally suspected foul play. Then it was discovered that he had lost all the money that belonged to clients before his disappearance.
"I'm perfectly prepared to plead guilty to acts that as a consequence caused (the victims) to be deprived permanently of something of value," Daniel said.
Daniel told investigators he had been doing Internet work in Mexico before trying to walk back into the country late last year.
As part of his plea deal, he will have to pay the victims a total of $462,000 in restitution and he faces anywhere from probation to as much as 12 years in prison.
"We do believe justice was served here," said Summit County Chief Deputy DA Scott Turner. "It gives us an appropriate range of punishment for the crime he committed."
Daniel will be sentenced in mid-April, which will be almost five years from the day he disappeared.
CBS4 spoke with a few of the victims over the past couple of days and they told CBS4 they are not happy with the plea deal.

Daniel Radcliffe(also known as Scarhead, Harry Potter, Radders, Radzo and DanRad.) was seen earlier today in his local Marks and Spencer lingerie section. When the star bent down to take a closer look at the granny knickers, he revealed a bit more than just a builder's bum. For Radders was unmistakably wearing a rather lacy woman's thong.
"I spotted Daniel looking at the knickers in the woman's section," said Juliet a sales assistant. "The boy looked a bit confused as he examined a pair of extra large granny like knickers. I approached him to ask him if he needed help buying underwear for his elderly relative, but this seemed to confused him more and he ended up dropping the knickers on the floor. As he bend down to pick them up his trousers fell slightly down to revel a pink sexy thong, of course I backed off then it seemed he knew what he was doing concerning woman's knickers."
It was hard tracking Daniel down as he is a worldwide celebrity with intensive security, but our determination and persistence finally paid off and we were able to sneak in through his unlocked back door (plain careless Radders).
"Ok so I wear woman's underwear." he admitted turning slightly red "But I like the way it feels against my skin and it makes me feel good about myself. I have about 80 thongs and 3 pairs of massive briefs for that special time of the month."
We left Radzo's house in confusion, what was he talking about? Special time of the month? Looks like another investigation for us to get to the bottom of.
