Young Ayatollah Khomeini

Back in 1979, the major enemy of the United States was the Ayatollah Khomeini, religious leader and dictator of Iran, and everyone thought he was a big problem. Man, we had no idea...
Ruhollah Mousavi was born in 1901 or 1902, depending on who you ask, in the town of Khomeyn, from whence his popular name was derived. By any account, he was a joyless husk of a man. He once told Time Magazine, "There is no room for play in Islam. It is deadly serious about everything."
With deadly serious fervor, he threw himself into the study of Islamic theology and attained the rank of Ayatollah, a religious title designating an advanced scholar but carrying no particular political significance.
In 1962, the monarch of Iran (known as the Shah) passed a bill that allowed municipal officials in the country to take their oaths of office on whatever Holy Scripture they preferred. While it might sound like a trivial issue, the move offended Khomeini and other Islamic fundamentalists, who considered the Koran to be the only appropriate swearing mechanism.
While the United States has a blasé attitude toward protests and boycotts, the monarchy in Iran was less flexible. The order was rescinded, and suddenly Khomeini was a force to be reckoned with. The fallout from the swearing issue led to widespread unrest, as the secular monarchy struggled to contain the strong fundamentalist population. The Ayatollah was sent into exile in 1964, moving first to Turkey then later to Iraq. From Iraq, he launched a series of vicious verbal attacks on the monarchy, first against the Shah who exiled him and later against his son, who succeeded to the throne.
Khomeini called for a clerical state to succeed the "corrupt" Shah throughout the 1960s and 1970s, building a power base within the country among his religious followers. In 1978, a series of student demonstrations rocked the Shah's regime, leading to widespread defections from the country's power base, mainly merchants and the middle class. The following year, the Shah fled into U.S. protection and Khomeini seized power.
In his final act before fleeing, Muhammad Reza Shah Pahlavi appointed Prime Minister Shahpur Bakhtiar as head of a regency council to run the country in his absence. Once installed as prime minister, Bakhtiar took several measures designed to appeal to elements in the opposition movement. He lifted restrictions on the press; the newspapers, on strike since November, resumed publication. He set free remaining political prisoners and promised the dissolution of SAVAK, the lifting of martial law, and free elections. He announced Iran's withdrawal from CENTO, canceled US$7 billion worth of arms orders from the United States, and announced Iran would no longer sell oil to South Africa or Israel. Although Bakhtiar won the qualified support of moderate clerics like Shariatmadari, his measures did not win him the support of Khomeini and the main opposition elements, who were now committed to the overthrow of the monarchy and the establishment of a new political order. The National Front, with which Bakhtiar had been associated for nearly thirty years, expelled him from the movement. Khomeini declared Bakhtiar's government illegal. Bazargan, in Khomeini's name, persuaded the oil workers to pump enough oil to ease domestic hardship, however, and some normalcy returned to the bazaar in the wake of Bakhtiar's appointment. But strikes in both the public and the private sector and large-scale demonstrations against the government continued. When, on January 29, 1979, Khomeini called for a street "referendum" on the monarchy and the Bakhtiar government, there was a massive turnout.
Bakhtiar sought unsuccessfully to persuade Khomeini to postpone his return to Iran until conditions in the country were normalized. Khomeini refused to receive a member of the regency council Bakhtiar sent as an emissary to Paris and after some hesitation rejected Bakhtiar's offer to come to Paris personally for consultations. Bakhtiar's attempt to prevent Khomeini's imminent return by closing the Mehrabad Airport at Tehran on January 26, 1979, proved to be only a stopgap measure.

Ayatollah Khomeini , 1979
From fouman.com
Khomeini arrived in Tehran from Paris on February 1, 1979, received a rapturous welcome from millions of Iranians, and announced he would "smash in the mouth of the Bakhtiar government." He labeled the government illegal and called for the strikes and demonstrations to continue. A girls' secondary school at which Khomeini established his headquarters in Tehran became the center of opposition activity. A multitude of decisions, and the coordination of the opposition movement, were handled here by what came to be known as the komiteh-ye Imam, or the Imam's committee. On February 5, Khomeini named Mehdi Bazargan as prime minister of a provisional government. Although Bazargan did not immediately announce a cabinet, the move reinforced the conditions of dual authority that increasingly came to characterize the closing days of the Pahlavi monarchy. In many large urban centers local komitehs (revolutionary committees) had assumed responsibility for municipal functions, including neighborhood security and the distribution of such basic necessities as fuel oil. Government ministries and such services as the customs and the posts remained largely paralyzed. Bakhtiar's cabinet ministers proved unable to assert their authority or, in many instances, even to enter their offices. The loyalty of the armed forces was being seriously eroded by months of confrontation with the people on the streets. There were instances of troops who refused to fire on the crowds, and desertions were rising. In late January, air force technicians at the Khatami Air Base in Esfahan became involved in a confrontation with their officers. In his statements, Khomeini had attempted to win the army rank and file over to the side of the opposition. Following Khomeini's arrival in Tehran, clandestine contacts took place between Khomeini's representatives and a number of military commanders.
On February 8, uniformed airmen appeared at Khomeini's home and publicly pledged their allegiance to him. On February 9, air force technicians at the Doshan Tappeh Air Base outside Tehran mutinied. Units of the Imperial Guard failed to put down the insurrection. The next day, the arsenal was opened, and weapons were distributed to crowds outside the air base. The government announced a curfew beginning in the afternoon, but the curfew was universally ignored. Over the next twenty-four hours, revolutionaries seized police barracks, prisons, and buildings. On February 11, twenty-two senior military commanders met and announced that the armed forces would observe neutrality in the confrontation between the government and the people. The army's withdrawal from the streets was tantamount to a withdrawal of support for the Bakhtiar government and acted as a trigger for a general uprising. By late afternoon on February 12, Bakhtiar was in hiding, and key points throughout the capital were in rebel hands. The Pahlavi monarchy had collapsed.
Thirty years after the Islamic Revolution, the world is still trying to understand just what it was -- and is. Was it an anti-Western revolution against the rule of the U.S.-backed shah, Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi? Was it the first modern effort to establish a Muslim theocracy? Or was it a simple takeover of a state by a single party? Finding the answer would help explain why the Islamic Revolution remains resolutely anti-Western, entirely in the hands of its clerical leaders, and intolerant of dissent.
Khomeini spent more than 14 years in exile, mostly in the holy Shia city of Najaf, Iraq. Initially he was sent to Turkey on 4 November 1964 where he stayed in the city of Bursa for less than a year. He was hosted by a colonel in Turkish Military Intelligence named Ali Cetiner in his own residence, who couldn't find another accommodation alternative for his stay at the time. Later in October 1965 he was allowed to move to Najaf, Iraq, where he stayed until being forced to leave in 1978, after then-Vice President Saddam Hussein forced him out (the two countries would fight a bitter eight year war 1980-1988 only a year after the two reached power in 1979) after which he went to Neauphle-le-Château in France on a tourist visa, apparently not seeking political asylum, where he stayed for four months. According to Alexandre de Marenches, chief of External Documentation and Counter-Espionage Service (now known as the DGSE), France would have suggested to the shah to "organize a fatal accident for Khomeini"; the shah declined the assassination offer, as that would have made Khomeini a martyr.

Stephen Kinzer, a former "New York Times" correspondent and the author of "All the Shah's Men: An American Coup and the Roots of Middle East Terror," says the seeds of the Islamic Revolution lay in another revolution -- the shah's program to modernize Iran as a second Turkey.
The shah's heavy-handed "White Revolution," Kinzer says, profoundly shocked his traditional society.
Opposition to the shah included figures all along the political spectrum. There were secular intellectuals steeped in Third World liberation theory who equated the shah with Western exploitation. There were Marxists advocating class struggle. There were champions of constitutional monarchy. And, less visibly, but ultimately most importantly, there was Iran's Shi'ite clergy, which traditionally had stood outside of politics. Kinzer says the Shah was in little danger from his secular opponents, but that when the mullah's entered the arena, his fate was sealed.
"While the shah was in power, he systematically repressed all other forms of opposition. You could not have a real opposition political party or independent trade union or a student organization or professional group or chamber. You could not have independent newspapers," Kinzer says.
"The only place where you could hide if you wanted to be in the opposition was in the mosque," he added. "That brought people who were very much against the shah under religious influence and it guaranteed, as we can now see in retrospect, that when the shah would finally fall, religious power would replace him."
Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, like all great revolutionaries, mobilized support by articulating a compelling concept. He argued that only Iran's religious strength could save the country from foreign exploitation and that Islamic law -- Shari'a -- offered everything necessary for good government and a just society.
Specifically, Khomeini argued that full implementation of Shari'a means Islamist jurists should rule the country. And that concept -- long known but dormant in Shi'ite theology -- became his call to arms.
(Iran's Revolution: Islamic Republic Proves Durable, But Is It Successful? By Charles Recknagel, RFE/RL, March 2, 2009 at payvand.com)
In November 1979, a group of student radicals overran the U.S. embassy and took everyone inside hostage, with Khomeini's support, in retaliation for the U.S. agreeing to shelter the Shah. The crisis lasted for more than a year, paralyzing Jimmy Carter's presidency and eventually contributing greatly to his loss to Ronald Reagan in the 1980 election. After the Shah died, the hostages were released on Jan. 20, 1981, the day of Reagan's inauguration.
Reagan wasn't one to take aggression lightly; his brilliant response to the threat he perceived from Iran was to arm Saddam Hussein with conventional, chemical and biological weapons and unleash him on America's enemy. That'll teach him!
Saddam Hussein had seized power in neighboring Iraq at about the same time Khomeini made his grab in Iran. Naturally, the two despised each other. In 1980, Iraq invaded Iran. The war lasted nearly eight years, depleting the resources of both countries. The Soviets surreptitiously aided Iran even, as U.S. envoys like Donald Rumsfeld spread goodwill in Baghdad, because you just can't have enough proxy wars to satisfy some people.
The U.N. brokered a peace agreement to end the Iran-Iraq war in 1988. By then, Khomeini had become a quaint sort of evil Hollywood-style icon, not dissimilar to Fidel Castro. While Saddam Hussein stepped up to the plate as the hot, young despot du jour, Khomeini began actively supporting international terrorism.
In a secret message, Britain's Margaret Thatcher urged Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, to release the 52 Americans as a "gesture of goodwill" to the men from elite force the SAS who had freed the Iranians. The Americans were taken hostage in November 1979, captured when supporters of Khomeini's Islamic Republic overran the American Embassy in Tehran after the US agreed to admit the deposed Shah of Iran. They had already been held hostage for five months by the time six gunmen burst into the Iranian Embassy in London in April, 1980, and took 26 hostages. American efforts to free their nationals had suffered a setback when a rescue attempt ended in failure with the crashing of a US helicopter and the death of eight US servicemen. In the successful storming of the Iranian Embassy in London, which saw five of the terrorists killed for the loss of only two Iranian hostages, British diplomats saw a chance to help their friends in Washington.
In a carefully crafted message, Thatcher stressed she was not trying to draw a parallel between the situation in Tehran and London. "I do however ask that the Imam (Khomeini) … should order the release of the American hostages as a gesture of goodwill to the brave men who risked their lives to free the Iranian hostages and give thanks to God for their safety," she said.
Britain's Ambassador John Green, who had been withdrawn from Tehran, flew back to the Iranian capital to deliver the message in person to the Iranian president, Abolhassan Bani Sadr. Green told the president it was intended to be "entirely private" and London had not discussed the approach with the US. Bani Sadr was said to have read the letter carefully and then put it aside. The approach did not have the desired effect, however. It was not until January, 1981, after 444 days in captivity, that the Americans were released. – AFP
At the end of the Iran-Iraq war, Khomeini faced a public that had been demoralized by massive casualties and a peace agreement which amounted to an outright defeat. To cheer up the masses, the normally humorless cleric decided to have a little fun and issued a fatwa, or religious edict, calling on Muslims everywhere to kill an obscure, semi-talented author named Salman Rushdie for writing a tepid book called The Satanic Verses:
"The author of the Satanic Verses book, which is against Islam, the Prophet and the Koran, and all those involved in its publication who were aware of its content, are sentenced to death. I ask all Moslems to execute them wherever they find them."
Rushdie wasn't a Shi'ite, nor was he Iranian. The proclamation was ludicrously, outrageously inconsistent with any reasonable reading of Islamic and international law, but it was a great excuse to fight, so a lot of people got really upset about it (especially Rushdie, whose life was essentially ruined by the order). Khomeini's status at home as lead hell raiser was secured.
From en.wikipedia.org
Khomeini was known for his aloofness and stern demeanor. He is said to have had "variously inspired admiration, awe, and fear from those around him." His practice of moving "through the halls of the madresehs never smiling at anybody or anything; his practice of ignoring his audience while he taught, contributed to his charisma."
Ruhollah Musavi Khomeini died aged 86, after repeated heart failure, just before midnight on Saturday 3 June 1989, at a clinic near his house in the village of Jamaran, just north of Tehran. President Ali Khamenei and the speaker of parliament, Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, were at his bedside. They resolved to delay announcement of the death in order to allow time for the body to be prepared and for a state of emergency to be imposed. The borders were put on alert against Iraqi attack and plans were laid for an orderly succession.
Although Tehran radio would not announce Khomeini's death until 7am on the Sunday morning, rumours immediately started to fly around the city and crowds began to make their way to Jamaran. People dressed in mourning black, the women wearing the all-over black georgette wrap called the "prayer chador", poured into the streets and mosques.
At 9am in the parliament building, Khamenei, who was known for his beautiful Persian diction, read out Khomeini's last will and testament to the Assembly of Experts, a body of leading clerics. In a fevered atmosphere, with all the members in tears, the reading of the will took three hours. The assembly then convened again in the afternoon to elect Khamenei as leader, even though he was only 50 years old and a relatively junior member of the hierarchy.

Our much-anticipated annual "Summer Daze" cookout / downhill race event took place on Saturday, August 22nd, 2015 at Larry F's house in Norwood. Members enjoyed a pot-luck meal featuring grilled items, an custom show and of course… the downhill races! Here's a list of those events.
2015 Summer Daze Downhill Events
This is one of the most entertaining events of the year. The potluck is always top notch with grilled food and goodies brought by all the members.
After the meal, the race action kicked off with a crowd favorite…the Grab Bag race!
Paul picks his entry at random…
Over 40 entries ran the course and at the end, Mary's grab bag took the checker as winner! Anyone remember the name of that casting?
The second event was our first attempt at the "Slow Poke" race. In this one, only the SLOWEST car that crosses the line wins. We thought this would spark from interest and we weren't disappointed! When the dust settled, Dave won with the ironically Hot Wheels casting named "Quick Delivery" (featuring real riders).
Next up was the "Superhero Showdown" featuring any entries depicting a likeness of a superhero. We seemed to have a ton of Batmobiles with a peppering of Superman / Spiderman cars. After the finals race, it was Pam's Batmobile that took high honors!
The fourth event of the night was the "Orange Race" that limited entries to orange vehicles. We had quite a collection and the racing was fast and furious. In the end, Elliott's entry (Way2Fast) proved fasted in the group.
The fifth event had a special "Model Year" theme. This year we limited entries to 1968 to honor Hot Wheels' first year in production. This category saw lots of Mustangs, Camaro's and other Detroit muscle. In the end, Elliott's yellow '68 Mustang ran away with the trophy.
For the final event of the night, the club cleared the lanes for the hotly contested "Open Class" race. For this race, we allowed any unmodified Hot Wheels entries (except Drag Buses) to square up against each other.
This one was a real slugging match with over 40 entries including previous years' winners. Could anyone beat returning champ Ben F's Ferrari F40? Perhaps a Trix funny car or another F40? Ben's red F40 answered that question with a resounding "No" and walked away with the trophy for fastest open car for the night.
While the racing action took place, the club also staged an impromptu "Customs" show. Members were encouraged to bring customs (either bought or made) to display. There was a ton of creativity and variety among the entries.
At the end of the night, the club voted on their favorite custom. Larry's flamed Dairy garnered top votes.
Special thanks goes out to Larry and his family for hosting the event. Summer Daze is always a great event filled with food, fun and friends. Hope to see you all back at the next one in the summer of 2016!

Sunday morning was Easter Sunday & the Easter Bunny found us at Opa & Oma's house just fine. The kids LOVED their baskets full of goodies.
We had breakfast as a family, went to church, had lunch together, & then we had to head back home to prepare ourselves for school on Monday.
It was a wonderful Spring Break week for all of us.

I was thinking that people are people, yesterday as today, and the act of observing the heavens to make one's own measurements on a regular basis would not be any more prevalent in the past simply because the skies were clear at night in any given location. The use of a list of planetary positions which has already been cataloged, perhaps debated and revised for 20-30 years, would be more available and likely inspire more confidence in the accuracy of the observations. To predict the exact positions of transiting planets and project the timing of their aspects *in the future* would seem to require more astronomical prowess than was actually available, or at least require "the astrologer" to gamble on the timing of future aspects and thereby add more risk of error concerning thier predictions. Laboring to make regular astronomical observations and adding to the risk of error by making astronomical projections (based on whatever model of these motions) does not seem a likely behavior to be expected from a majority of persons claiming to be astrologers...no matter what their social status may have been.

Rog: Hear, hear...indeed...:)
I see that the soul, which remains undefined, apparently has to share time and space with the personality, so to speak. My illustration below is meant to address to layers of interpretation. First there's the psychological matter of the subject, Abraham, and the split purposes of his "celestially informed" soul and his "religiously informed" personality. Then there is the matter of the painter himself being apparently celestially informed concerning his (no doubt) unconscious choices of planet-related symbols, as projected upon the space of his painting. The Sun's shared aspects of Sag Moon and Scorpio Mars are wonderfully depicted on the left, and perhaps even Pluto in Taurus on the lower right. Neptune in Virgo appears as the intervening angelical inspiration, and Mercury Opposite Saturn (-in Capricorn!) definitely seems like a call to, "wait...hold up there...oops! The eighth house matter of murder has been canceled, Thank you... < click > ." Abraham's portrait head appears to be related to Rembrandt's natal Sun and the center of the ego, but could just as easily be interpreted as natal Mercury I suppose. Anyway, take a look at the collection of Rembrant's paintings at the web address below and I think you will see that there is a formula/pattern to his works...they seem variations on the natal chart...well, to me at least...:)

Are you unaware that these were first discovered in human beings several decades ago, and have been extensively researched since?

Discussion normally proceeds on the basis of intelligent feedback that addresses the issues. I may still get some.

Back today to share my entry for this week's challenge over at Muse. I didn't think I was going to get this one made in time but I was wide awake at 6.30am today so thought I may as well get up and was in a crafty mood so here is my card.
I kept the layout and colour palette pretty much the same as this week's gorgeous Muse card by Marion Vagg. Marion's card is beautiful, you can see it further down this post, and I don't think I've created anything nearly as stunning but I had a go with what I had. I wanted to create some shading on the blooms but I only have pigment ink in my stash so I was a bit limited. I wanted to use ProMarkers over the images to add some definition but I think alcohol pens can only be used with dye based ink, am I correct?
So instead, I stamped the blooms with a pale ink, then re-inked a second time by just lightly dabbing with a slightly darker tone and lined it up and re-stamped over the top. It didn't turn out exactly as I had hoped but still added a little more interest than having a completely flat colour. I then die cut the central bloom and popped this up on 3D foam.
I've used the large rose from this set before (Clearly Besotted Stamps - Blooming Marvellous) but this is the first time I've inked up the little rose buds. Aren't they gorgeous?
Materials used:
- Stamps: Clearly Besotted Stamps - Blooming Marvellous and Butterfly Wishes stamp sets
- Dies: Clearly Besotted Stamps - Blooming Marvellous
- Ink: Versa Color - Olive, Petal Pink, Pink, Lavender, Grape; Versafine - Onyx Black
- Gems from stash
Here's the card by this week's Muse, Marion Vagg...
Thanks for popping by, and good luck if you are a fellow Muse participant, all the entries look fabulous this week.
Take care

1. Gone Girl
The cast for this movie looks great: Ben Affleck, Tyler Perry, Neil Patrick Harris. This book was one of the craziest books I've ever read and I am tempted to read it again before seeing the movie in October! If you want a quick read that will keep you engaged at every page turn, this is it!
2. Before I Go To Sleep
I read this book right after finishing Gone Girl because I needed another thriller. This was another book I couldn't put down and again the cast looks perfect! Yay Nicole Kidman.
3. The Giver
I read this book back in high school and then read it again recently with my book club. I love the idea behind this book and am excited to see how they make it on the big screen.

From Moneymoon to honeymoon on FPPs
If you've watched my Team Online feature video, then you know that my main motivation for playing poker has always been to obtain some of life's nicer things. My conventional job pays for things like food, shelter, and investments while poker covers eating out, vacations, and sparkly new toys.
That makes PokerStars concierge service the perfect match for my poker goals. This Supernova VIP perk means you can get to spend your FPPs on anything you want. All you have to do is email them the receipt, and the money will be in your account in just a few days. Not only is it super convenient, but it is also one of the best FFP/$ rates you will find in the store.
To me it's pretty boring to just trade in my points for cash or tournament tickets. It's so much more exciting to be rewarded with something tangible for the hours spent grinding. When I decide I want something, instead of putting money away in a piggy bank, I just wait until I have enough FPPs saved up to get it. Knowing I'm only a few thousand FPPs away from being able to buy what I wantis a great motivator to put in enough hands.
This past summer, instead of going to the WSOP, I got married on the beautiful Okanagan lake. We had a very small, but beautiful ceremony on a wakeboard boat, followed by literally taking the plunge into the lake after the "I do's". It was certainly an unconventional wedding, but one very fitting for two poker players.
My husband is also a Supernova on PokerStars, which means double FPPs in our house! It took a little bit of convincing to get Ryan to do something other than use his points for the cash bonuses. As a poker player, you must have fun and treat yourself now and then, as it is too easy to get caught up in the number crunching. Money is how we keep score in poker, but it's what you do with that money that determines how happy you are outside of the game.
When Ryan and I got engaged, we laughed and imagined a PokerStars themed wedding; from party favors to an open bar! Instead of planning a big ceremony, we decided to spoil ourselves with a lavish honeymoon, what better way to pay for it than with our FPPs?
We made the decision to take our honeymoon after this year's PCA, joking that we were on our 'Moneymoon' before our honeymoon. It took a lot of hands, and every point we could both manage over the last few months of 2012, but we did it!
After PCA, we hopped on a very small Bahamas Air flight to the beautiful islands of Turks and Caicos. The suite in our hotel faced the bluest ocean you will ever see, and the view was so spectacular that it actually brought a tear to my eye when we first walked in.
Turks and Caicos is a magical place, and the perfect location for the honeymoon. We got to enjoy snorkeling, catamaran sailing, and deep sea fishing. Oh yeah, and there was plenty of time spent relaxing on the island's famous white sand beaches. It was a fantastic trip, made that much sweeter knowing that PokerStars Concierge would be covering the bill.
So, now that you know how awesome the VIP club concierge service is...What will you buy next?

A gentle approach to work
Last week I was very honoured to speak at Soulpreneurs Summer School, an inspiring few days with beautiful women all there to get clear on their purpose and shine their light in the world in 2017. I've never experienced anything like it. It was practical, potent business advice from some of the world's best (e.g. Michael Maidens who's a pioneer in the digital space, being responsible for the Food Matters free worldwide screening that reached millions and has since become common practice for many online launches) mixed with soul (full moon releasing ceremony on the beach, animal kin oracles and self-care strategies).

How to be gentle when you're flat out!
These last few months have been hectic and I'm sure you would probably be in the same boat – who isn't?! And while it's all good and well to say things like, "oh I don't believe in the word 'busy'," and "let's stop the glorification of the busyness" (which I wholeheartedly agree with by the way), the reality is we are pretty busy. Whether we fill our lives with nonsense or fun stuff or family commitments or work – most people's lives are pretty full.
So for me, it's about finding ways to come back to my calm happy place when I'm feeling frazzled and essentially working in a way that suits me. I've been reflecting on how I got through the last few months so here are some tips I came up with….read more
How Soulpreneurs helped me launch my program
What I didn't expect from enrolling in this course was the assistance and support I got in creating a brand new offering. It helped me get my online program, Shine From Within Youth Mentor Training up and running. I remember attending one of the in-person training days earlier in the year, sitting in the 'hot seat' and pitching this crazy idea that I had been working on for months and months behind the scenes. I also remember the swift kick up the butt that Yvette gave me about the price I was suggesting (thankfully!), because Soulpreneurs in particular, can really struggle to charge what they're worth.read more

From a Shipping Container to a House
I believe that this life is transient. That we shouldn't feel too attached to anything. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't take care of the place that we are in right now.
Ever since we lived in the recycled shipping container cabin, we have always wanted to find a more sustainable and manageable way to live in tune with nature. To live simply. Gently. Taking as little as possible, giving back to the land and working in cohesion rather than dominating. Doing it all in a way that could last…read more

3 Green Steps for the Soul
I'm really excited to introduce Courtney Young to you all from SHE: Self, Health, Environment. She's got some beautiful tips for slowing down & getting back to nature…..
There's a reason why so many of us strive to adjust our lifestyles to minimise our impact on the environment- it's because we're left with that warm, glowing feeling knowing that we're doing our part. We love that we're giving back to Mother Nature, to the environment that so relentlessly provides for us. However, sometimes it's difficult to stay motivated and make these changes. Sometimes it's exhausting to chase after that warm, glowing feeling. Sometimes we want to be a little selfish and take a break. That's where I step in. The following are three steps I've devised for the selfish environmentalist. These are environmentally sustainable actions we can all take that will nourish our souls, and lifestyles in general, at the same time.read more

2011 – That's a Wrap
I love this time of year. After eating copious amounts of food on Christmas Day and spending time with family, it's nice to just hang out at home and sleep in. These last few days of the year are also a perfect time to sit back and reflect on 2011. Only 1 year ago I had just finished a grueling 6 months of chemotherapy. I was bald, 12 kilos heavier from all of the steroids and exhausted beyond belief. I was also incredibly relieved to have been told that I was in remission and excited about the prospect of getting my energy back and focusing on something other than my health, which had been my sole focus since early 2009.read more

Mark Latham is a total liar liar pants on fire. He reckons that an intelligence agency told him that pulling our troops out of Iraq by December was a good idea. But as if, 'cause intelligence agencies are heaps smart -- intelligent, even -- and as we all know, our troops have to stay in Iraq to get the job done. Smart intelligence agency blokes know that. But 'cause Mark is stupid, he doesn't realise that by "get the job done", I don't mean making Iraq a not crap place for those terrorists to live. I mean winning the next Federal election. Der, Mark, you stupid lying stupid-head. Plus, if we didn't have troops in Iraq, George Bush might not want to be my mate anymore, just like Pete Costello probably wouldn't sit next to me at morning tea if I didn't give him my Fruit Roll-up every day. Stupid lying Mark eats Le Snacks for morning tea, 'cause he's a stupid French-loving liar.
Stupid Mark also said that the war against Iraq is like the Vietnam War. That's just stupid, though, 'cause Iraq and Vietnam are like totally different countries. I bet Stupid Mark doesn't even know anything about the Vietnam War. I know heaps, though, 'cause I've seen "Forrest Gump" at least three times, and that's a true story and everything. Forrest Gump was this guy who was a top bloke, 'cause he was good at sports and stuff, and then he went to war. But this war wasn't anything like the war in Iraq, 'cause there were no terrorists and they were in this place with beaches and palm trees and stuff. I think it might have been Hawaii. Anyway, it clearly was nothing like Iraq, 'cause the media were allowed to have heaps of access and freedom and stuff. When I told Stupid Mark that, he said that if I want watch something about the Vietnam War, I should watch "Apocalypse Now", but der, I totally remember that sitcom, and what do Effie and a bunch of Greeks running a coffee shop have to do with war? I guess Greece and Vietnam are both in Asia, but apart from that I think it's just Stupid Mark being stupid.
Really, the only similarity I can see between the war in Iraq and the Vietnam War is that we won both of them.

More mini libraries or "Minilibs" are planned to take library services to the partially sighted and blind throughout the Eastern Cape following the success of the first 24 Minilibs installed by the South African Library for the Blind in partnership with the province.
The libraries include a text reader, a computer for access to online resources, and materials including braille books supplied by the SA Library for the Blind.
"We want to roll Minilibs out to every community," says Lubabalo Dzedze, library and information services manager at the department of sport, recreation, arts and culture in the Eastern Cape.
According to project coordinator, Pumla Mahanjana, Minilibs are housed in public libraries. Staff are trained on the use of the equipment and how to assist the visually impaired.
"The visually impaired have a constitutional right to access these services. The project in the Eastern Cape has been so successful that we are hoping it will eventually be rolled out across the country."
One of the people to have benefited from the use of the Minilib is Sonwabile Dlakavu, who lives in the town of Lusikisiki in the OR Tambo region of the Eastern Cape.
He represents the region in general knowledge quizzes hosted by the department for Minilib users in the Eastern Cape.
Commenting on the opening of the Minilib in Lusikisiki, he says "we (blind and partially sighted people) are at last able to read and to stay informed of developments. Before the Minilib we had nothing."
The Minilibs are spread through the rural areas as well as the metros.
"Our partnership with the South African Library for the Blind is making a big difference in the lives of the partially sighted," says Joseph Lamini, Nelson Mandela Bay metro project manager for library services.
Dzedze says the vision is to have Minilibs wherever there is a public library. "In terms of the library charter we have to ensure that everyone has access to books and information services – and that includes the visually impaired," he says.
He was speaking at a Library Week celebration hosted at the Allanridge Library in Uitenhage.

Infinitive or past tense after conditional
This question relates to:
French lesson "Conjugate devoir in Le Conditionnel Présent = should (conditional mood)"

Hi Helen,
"Ces résultats seraient dûs demain." -- These results would be due tomorrow.
This is conditional present tense. The past participle of "devoir" is actually used as an adjective here. You could replace it with another adjective such as "jaune" (even though that doesn't make a whole lot of sense):
Ces résultats seraient jaunes demain. -- These results would be yellow tomorrow.
The use of the infinitive actually parallels its use in English in this case:
Il devrait partir. -- He would have to leave. (also: he should leave.)
"Partir"is the infinitive in French and "to leave" is the infinitive in English. So the constructions are very similar in this case.
-- Chris (not a native speaker).

For almost two years, my wife and I have been living on an income of $1200/month. Our bills came close to or exceeded $1700/month, yet God came through with the shortfall every single month. Although that shortfall came in many various forms – royalties from my novels, help from the church, assistance from friends, mysterious monetary findings – we were provided for.
A few weeks ago, my wife's job of 4+ years ended, leaving us with an income of $120/month.
During this walk, I've heard it said many times that because our circumstances change that maybe that's God's way of telling us that He's changed his mind or the plan we thought He laid out for us. I've come to learn that simply looking at your circumstances cannot be trusted as a clear indicator of God's will for your life. If that were true, when things get hard, we'd turn tail and run in the opposite direction God intends for us to go.
No, most times God expects us to follow Him regardless of our circumstances. And sometimes, He works those circumstances to bring us victory and Him glory.
Take Gideon for instance. He had 32,000 men at his disposal to do away with the Midianites and Amalakites that had been tormenting the people of Israel. But God thought that was too many. If they went into battle with that many and Israel won, Israel would credit themselves for the victory.
If you read through the text – Judges 7 – you'll see that God ended up leaving Gideon with 300 men to go into battle against 135,000 Midianites and Amalekites. I love the description in Vs. 12: "Now the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the sons of the east were lying in the valley as numerous as locusts; their camels were without number, as numerous as the sand on the seashore."
God could have easily granted Gideon victory with his 32,000 men. But he wanted to show Gideon – and the rest of Israel – that he could grant victory even with only 300 at his disposal. And in doing so, Israel had no choice but to give God the credit.
God can do what He needs to with $120 as easily as he can with $1700. And He has. For the last couple weeks God brought in enough to pay our bills, either with spare jobs that came up or assistance from unlikely sources.
Don't get me wrong. This walk is difficult. To trust that God will be faithful with the promises he made – it can be hard when the waiting gets long like it has. We live in an age of instant gratification. But God does not change. He doesn't operate on our schedule. He has a master plan, and that plan will come through in His timing, which is perfect.
I am happy to say that my wife did find a great job last week that should bring in enough to pay the bills completely. We walked through the fire of trial and came out holding a crown of victory. Not just because we believed. Faith is crucial, because without faith we cannot please God. But we came through unharmed because God is faithful. Ever faithful, ever true.

You have a breakdown of the calf. Your doctor made the diagnosis. Discover the interest of self-rehabilitation to complete your physical therapy.
Although a rapid recovery takes your heart, you may not have the time to go to your therapist three to four times a week. It is possible to limit the frequency of sessions by performing self-rehabilitation at home. This program helps you regain a good muscle function. Thus, in 6 to 8 weeks,
your calf finds the strength, flexibility and elasticity to run, speed, jump and even go to the net!
A breakdown of the calf is a muscle tear. It also bears the name "tennis -Leg". This is a typical injury tennis forties, poorly heated or tired trying to recover cushioning! In fact, it also occurs during running, acceleration and jumps. In these circumstances, the heel portion to the ground tracking of the Achilles tendon and muscle membranes. The fibers contract and vigorously back. The junction area is torn! Vessels are shredded and bleeding occurs often at the root of a large hematoma.
During this traumatic movement, the Achilles tendon is also quartered! It can break! Please note, the treatment does not go through early rehabilitation and often involves surgery. The diagnosis must be precise!
1 Adopted GREEK! Ice, rest, elevation, compression.
Ice cream
If your calf is swollen, the glaze at least 3 times 20 minutes per day. Do not forget to protect your skin with a machine, typically a towel. Cold closes the blood vessels and reduces bleeding.
Reduce your activities to avoid getting hurt. To relax the calf, wear heels. Women have an advantage! Men can choose the "jogging" and even add heel. In case of very intense pain with walking, you can, for a few days, you move into "protected support." You put your heel and both crutches simultaneously. You pull down the steps and then you push with both crutches and foot. Immobilization and lack of support are against inappropriate. Your hematoma could form a crust that cause muscle adhesions anarchic sources stiffness, pain and recurrence. Besides blood stagnation could be the source of a clot in a vein, the famous phlebitis!
Rehabilitation is like the plumbing! To promote drainage of the hematoma, as soon as possible put your highest peg your hip. At night, put books under the feet of your bed This method is more effective than the pillow under the heel because the large vein located in front of the pelvis does not fold, it will disrupt the flow of blood.
Compress with a circular band the swollen area limits the expansion of the hematoma. Nevertheless, it is more effective and less dangerous for traffic donning compression socks or "recovery". The first exercise decreasing pressure from the ankle to the back of the knee, the second from the bottom to the top of the calf. Both promote the drainage of the hematoma. Warning, these socks are useful only standing because the veins are dilated by the weight of the blood. Must be removed at night to avoid crushing the small blood vessels.
perhaps you used to take aspirin for muscle pain! It is not used much. But this time, it is forbidden! Aspirin promotes bleeding. It prevents small blood cells responsible for plugging vascular injury, platelets, from sticking to each other. The result: muscle gap is not filled, the bleeding worsens and the hematoma is very large! Other anti-inflammatory properties have similar although less pronounced. They are also discouraged in the days following the breakdown.
Tense, stretch your muscle!
Progressive muscle work is essential to get a nice scar. Initially, simple contractions foot in a vacuum, creating pressure variations that contribute to the drainage of the hematoma. Later, working against resistance and gentle stretching are welcome. Pursuant to the proposed exercises, you have to gradually increase the load, the magnitude and speed of movement. These tensions set awaken young muscle cells in the periphery of the injured tissue. They contribute to the production of elastic fibers within the new envelopes muscle.
A measured and gradual stress contributes to the formation of a quality muscle tissue.
In the absence of stimulation, little muscle is reconstituted, the scar is only the crust and fibrosis from the hematoma. It sticks and hurts during disaster recovery. Rigid and brittle, it is the cause of recurrence. Attention, however! If increasing activity allows adaptation and 'mechanization' of the scar, too energetic tension starts sustain injury. Go slowly, no exercise should not be painful!
From the first days
Exercise 1 :
Lying face down, walk into the void, spread then back tiptoe slowly. Take the opportunity to gain amplitude and put the calf slightly tensioned. Conversely, also realize small faster movements to stimulate drainage of the hematoma.
A few days later, according to your feelings:
Exercise 2:
Sitting, foot resting on the ground. Go up and slowly lower heels. In this position, knees bent, calves are somewhat strained, the tensioning is limited to the scar. We work force more serenely.
To increase the resistance, place your hands or bag on the thighs. You can also cross your legs and place your foot on the opposite knee injured side.
For each exercise, do 6-30 movements several times a day. Once you succeed with ease, increase the load.
Exercise 3:
Lie on your back. Spend a scarf under your foot peak. Gently pull and pull your toes toward your face, just below the pain threshold. Keep the position for 10 seconds and then reduce the tension a while. Repeat step 2 to 5 times. Perform this sequence at least 3 times per day.
In the weeks following, depending on your feelings
Exercise 4:
Standing, resting on 2 legs, stand on tiptoe. Go back down gently. Start by relying more on the healthy side. As the days, switch your weight more injured side. Two to three weeks later, you lift only with the injured limb. You can go to the exercises 5 and 6.
Exercise 5:
This is a neighboring motion exercise 4 but your hands are resting on a wall and your heels are discarded. In fact, you perform the gesture on a greater range and lowering the heel joins a stretch in your calf. Stay in the down position for about ten seconds and then go back up. To progress, you press increasingly on the injured limb and gradually your feet away from the wall.
Exercise 6:
Sitting in chair edge, make a "elastic" movement. Perform lap mounted. Peel off and rest your foot peaks. Work cushioning and recovery. You retie gentle with jump mechanics.
Réentraînez your muscle and get fit!
Walk: Abandon your crutches as soon as possible. Gradually reduce the height of your heels. File down a little each day your heel cork. Increase gradually as the length and speed of your travels. On the stairs, first mount foot flat and then gradually let your heel into the void.
Pedal. On bike room, you very easily measure out your effort. Your weight rests on the saddle. Your ankle moves very little, calf working statically. The absence of tensioning helps maintain the endurance of your muscles and your heart. Quickly you can "crush" the heel to create a little tension in your calf. Later, pedaling dancer to put weight on your feet and find a nearby gesture of the race.
Swim, aqua jogging. As soon as you can wander foot flat, going to the pool. Swim! The crawl does not pull on the calf. Breaststroke allows movement draining without the pressure of body weight. At the beginning, do not push in the latch on the wall. Beware the cramp! Do not use excessive force and take a few sips of sports drink every 10 minutes. Clinging to two aqua fries, run without support in water. Later, with the help of Archimedes, Jump around the water. gradually reduce the depth to increase the load.
Trottinez, run, jump. A month after the injury, put on your jogging. For some drives, put a small heel ... on both sides to avoid back pain. Warm up at least ten minutes walking more quickly, you do not stretch. Continue alternating walking and trotting. Gradually increase the duration and speed of the race. Make your flexibility late in the session. After 6 weeks, begin the progressive accelerations. Integrate some more tonic lateral movement. At 2 months, you can often running, sprinting, jumping! The competition is possible! Forgot your calf

Around a recent need, the treatment of pathologies related to the sport, the former Clinique Saint-François, now Sport Clinic, was taken over by General of Health in 2002. The renewal of the medical staff with surgical team renowned helped to design and implement a medical and scientific project based on the quality of practice. Générale de Santé has worked to support this project, including through an intense program of renovation and careful management of human resources.
Today, the sport of Clinic is a hyper-specialized private institution under agreement in orthopedics, traumatology and sports medicine.
Medical and surgical consultations highly specialized, a reference imaging and functional rehabilitation recognized competence guarantee our patients the best care for diseases of the musculoskeletal system, either degenerative or related to physical activity.
The rupture of the Achilles tendon in athletes, is a rare event that usually occurs during the 3rd decade in athletes and 4th among the sedentary. The break often occurs when an eccentric effort (Work together a muscle elongation instead of the normal shortening) as a startup, acceleration or landing from a jump. Read more ......
Attention! This is no shock absorbing soles, type "ready to wear" sold in stores. No, they are "haute couture", tailored to your injury and imperfections of your stride. They are made ??"to measure" by a podiatrist sports. He knows the injuries encountered in sports. It does not use cork or leather. It uses synthetic materials flexibility cleverly distributed, which tolerate sweat and mechanical stress.
Iron is essential to your health and performance. It is a central component of hemoglobin. The latter is contained in red blood cells and gives it color. It is the iron that captures oxygen when blood passes through the lungs. It carries the precious gas to muscles. When they arrived, it drops its cargo which then allows the burning of energy substances and muscle contraction.
When you run or when you jump, your heels hit the ground and the fat pad of the foot of the plant is crushed. It is through many blood vessels. These red blood cells burst and release their hemoglobin. Iron is released into the blood and pass into urine.
Muscle contains a twin sister of hemoglobin, myoglobin. The latter also contains a lot of iron which sets some oxygen. This small local reserve allows starting the contraction before the blood vessels do not provide the necessary complement. When you experience aches, your muscle membranes are victims of micro-fissures. Myoglobin and iron leaves the muscle and gaining the blood. The precious metal is eliminated in the urine.
When you make an effort, the majority of blood flow is directed towards your muscles. There remains very little to the digestive tract and the bladder wall. These organs suffer from lack of oxygen and are shaken with every stride. Small areas are damaged and start to bleed. Red blood cells and iron are lost in the feces and in urine.
You enter the assiduous why athletes often lack iron, especially if they do not take care to concoct "menus and recipes" adapted. Sports are even more concerned since all these iron losses are added the massive elimination of blood during menstruation!
That is why it is good to occasionally perform a blood test to assess the stock in body iron. This levy is necessary when it comes to review a state of fatigue. It unnecessary to dose iron in the blood because the body is able to keep within the limits of normal while the reserves are at their lowest! It is necessary to measure levels of "serum ferritin" because this structure is the storage form of iron.
Each sports movement constitutes a solicitation for the bone structure. At each reception process, the tibia runner undergoes vibratory impacts. Unrolling not, the hiker twists slightly small bone in his foot. Even the body-builders, powerfully contracting its muscles, pulls on his bone.
Each strain injures a little bone of sports. Fortunately, during the rest period, the bone trying to rebuild. If time allows, if they bring him the necessary food, it is repaired! It reconstructs even louder than before as if to prepare for new mechanical attacks. This phenomenon is called by coaches cycle decompensation / overcompensation. This process has been described in many body organs and functions: muscle, stock energy, hormones, etc. It is a key driver of growth.
Thus, it was shown that the well-trained marathoner had stronger bones than sedentary. Indeed, its more dense bone structure, higher in fiber and calcium. In addition, the microscopic architecture of the bone is perfectly oriented along the axis of mechanical stresses.
Indeed, the chemical structure of the bone is comparable to reinforced concrete. The protein network is the steel rods. Calcium is comparable to concrete mired these metal axes. At the hip and pelvis direction of the bone structure is very characteristic. On a radiograph, it is found that the fibers leave the femur, the thigh bone, tilt in, come from hip to withstand the weight of the body resting on the hips. The lines of force from the right leg and left leg meet in the middle of the basin and support each other in the manner of the nave of a church.
Physical activity associated with a sufficiently high protein diet, vitamin D and calcium is a great engine of bone construction. This cocktail is particularly useful to hinge periods of life. During growth, it is necessary to eat 4-5 dairy products every day to build strong bones. It should also move: it is essential to practice a sport requiring the running and jumping at least 3 times a week for 30 minutes. In the absence of impact, bones harden less. It has been shown that a young competitive swimmer had lower bone density than sedentary because he was deprived of gravity during those long hours of pool training. In addition, bone densification stops 25 years. At this age you have made up your bone capital for life!
In adulthood, sport reinforces very hard bone and the amount of calcium necessary for the maintenance of bone is still debated. In case of fracture, the rest of the broken area needed a few weeks to allow to "ensnare" the broken area. In addition, gradually increasing mechanical stress are indispensable to "mechanize" the callus.
