Syria: up to 100 dead in "new massacre"
What next for the conflict-torn country?
By Samira Shackle Published 07 June 2012 8:14Last week, the Houla massacre shocked the world. In one of the worst moments of the Syrian war so far, 108 people – at least 49 of whom were children – were murdered by state-sponsored militia, who went from house to house slitting their throats or shooting them in the head.
It was clear at the time that this was not the first massacre Syria had seen, and nor would it be the last. However, the extremity of the incident seemed to mark a watershed in the escalation of the protracted and bloody conflict. That appears to have been borne out, with reports today of a "new massacre" of men, women and children, this time in Mazraat al-Qabeer, a small village near the city of Hama.
According to a spokesman for the opposition group, the Syrian National Council, 100 people were killed, including 20 women and 20 children. The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights separately reported 87 deaths. While the lack of media access to Syria makes it difficult to independently verify the facts, there is little doubt that something happened here. The regime says that the military killed "terrorists", but denied that a massacre took place. It appeared to blame the opposition for the killings, with state media reporting that terrorist groups had committed a "heinous crime".
The opposition, however, claim that the village came under heavy tank fire, before shabiha (state-sponsored militia) fighters took to the ground, shooting, stabbing and burning people to death. The BBC quotes one activist from the area:
They executed [nearly] every person in the village. Very few numbers could flee. The majority were slaughtered with knives and in a horrible and ugly way.
Graphic videos and images of charred corpses are proliferating online.
This tragedy comes as the United Nations' special envoy, Kofi Annan, returns from Damascus to address the General Assembly in New York about the progress of his peace plan for Syria. It would be difficult to argue that the plan has been anything but a failure.
Where does this leave the west? Inevitably, more atrocities will lead to further calls for military intervention from the west. Yet, as a New Statesman leader pointed out last week, this is fraught with difficulties. The opposition is by no means united in calling for western intervention, while a substantial percentage of the population unambiguously supports President Bashar al-Assad. Elsewhere, the on-going bloodshed in Libya acts as a living reminder of the dangers of military action. There is also the risk of triggering full blown civil war, as the conflict hardens along sectarian lines, compounded by the cold war being waged between Turkey, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
After the Houla massacre, Fawaz Gerges argued that military action remained unlikely:
Atrocities could make military intervention more likely, but the west, and particularly the US, believes that the disadvantages of intervention (increased carnage and a region-wide war) outweigh the advantages of saving civilian lives.
Already, up to 12,600 lives have been lost during the 15 month conflict, with comparisons being drawn to the early stages of Lebanon's 15 year civil war. If the UN has any real hope of achieving its aim of a negotiated settlement, Russia must come on side. The question is: how many more massacres will it take for something to change for the better?
UPDATE 3pm:
The chief of the UN monitoring mission, General Robert Mood, has said that Syrian troops blocked UN observers from visiting the site of the massacre: "They are being stopped at Syrian army checkpoints and in some cases turned back. Some of our patrols are being stopped by civilians in the area." The Syrian government said this was "absolutely baseless" and accused rebels of carrying out the massacre to try and garner international attention.

Well there we go again, yet another thread taken over by the right nut jobs from left and right Jew and Muslim, who totally turn any subject into a crusade of hate the make the Old Crusaders look moderate. It's about time you, The NewStatesman banned the lot of them.
Of course, nobody has a copyright on massacre. Whether it was massacre perpetrated by Jews, such as the burning of the Christians of Najran by Yusuf As'ar or the slaughter of the Muslim population of Deir Yassin by the Zionist Irgun, massacre plus by the barbarous Crusaders who cannabalised their victims, massacre indiscriminate by the Khmer Rouge's of just about anybody, Catholic Isabella's slaughter or convert policy applied to Muslims and Jews or Hitler's massacre of everything he deemed inferior. Zionists though would want us to believe that they own the market when it comes to victim-hood and that their suffering is so unique as to justify the massacre and persecution of others.
'Hitler's massacre of everything he deemed inferior.'
Yes, but that didn't apply to Muslims did it? We remember the Mufti who was Hitler's ally and who called for the total extermination of the Jews. He went to Berlin and met Hitler, urging Hitler (who needed no urging) to finish of the Jews.
Yet, Hitler regarded the Muslims as Untermenschen and used the Mufti. for his own purposes.
Nice try, Silican.
The Grand Mufti was one man and what did he do for the Axis War effort? Compare and contrast him with the hundreds of thosands of Muslims who fought on the Allied side and who helped achieve the victory that saved Jews from total extermination.
Of course, Islamists would rather you forgot about the pogroms against Jews they have commited: The murders of women and children in Hebron in 1929: 67 Jews were slaughtered and acts of barbaric savagery were done to them:
'On Friday, August 23, 1929, that tranquility was lost. Arab youths started throwing rocks at the yeshiva students. That afternoon, one student, Shmuel Rosenholtz, went to the yeshiva alone. Arab rioters later broke in and killed him, and that was only the beginning.
Friday night, Rabbi Ya'acov Slonim's son invited any fearful Jews to stay in his house. The rabbi was highly regarded in the community, and he had a gun. Many Jews took him up on this offer, and many Jews were eventually murdered there.
As early as 8:00 a.m. on Saturday, the Jewish Sabbath, Arabs began to gather en masse. They came in mobs, armed with clubs, knives and axes. While the women and children threw stones, the men ransacked Jewish houses and destroyed Jewish property. With only a single police officer in Hebron, the Arabs entered Jewish courtyards with no opposition.
Rabbi Slonim, who had tried to shelter the Jewish population, was approached by the rioters and offered a deal. If all the Ashkenazi yeshiva students were given over to the Arabs, the rioters would spare the lives of the Sephardi community. Rabbi Slonim refused to turn over the students and was killed on the spot. In the end, 12 Sephardi Jews and 55 Ashkenazi Jews were murdered'
yes JJJ, stories like these are heartbreaking and it is depressing to see how many such events have taken place. i have absolutely no idea though how this event from over 80 years ago has any direct relevance to what is going on right now in Syria.
so what was your point exactly?
No, I regret my polite response to you. It's more than what you deserve Jankaas. You are trolling: Instead of having a go at Silican for bringing up rubbish that has nothing to do with Syria, you resort to red herrings. Just as Arminius did.
And quite frankly, by bringing up these events which the NS or people like you wouldn't are not for your benefit but for other more objective people.
why should i fight your battles for you JJJ? i don't demand you sort out Julia, Coleridge or Frederic on my behalf when they post things i find objectionable. if i don't like something then i comment on it. simples.
as it happens all that Silican said was that Jews do not own the copyright on victimhood. and as you say it was off topic, so there is no need to respond. so why did you bother?
and on and on we can go, playing your favourite game of 'anything but the topic under debate'. any chance of your solution to this Syrian crisis? you claimed to have ideas, but after many days of waiting all i see is you pratting about giving history lessons, though none about Syria....
Jankaas, The post was a response to the above poster. For a fuller explanation, see my response to Arminius. I'm not being rude, it's just that Arminius posted before you.
What really is the point in recounting this atrocity story from early last century? I could list some of the atrocities committed by Jewish terrorists from the Lehi and Irgun of which there is no shortage but the point is that savage killing is not the sole preserve of Arabs.
If you think that the Israelis do not hero worship their terrorists in the way that many Arab groups do, find out why the village of Ramat Raziel is so named.
This is classic trolling. Thing is, you are intelligent enough to know that: The poster above went on a propaganda spree recounting some event with Jews and Christians which did or didn't occur 1000 years ago. And he also mentioned the crime of Deir Yassin.
Yet, you are offended that the pogroms against Jews by Muslims is brought up. I didn't bring up history, the poster did. And this is also a response to your post about the Jews being given refuge in Ottoman Turkey. Since you can raise history, others can too.
You see, unless someone brings up Hebron, Zefat and others, people will be unaware of historical events that may influence them. Since I don't expect you or the NS to bring up these events, I did so.
And yes, the Stern gang were terrorists. But Raziel was killed on a mission fighting on behalf of the British Army. No doubt in your mind, defending Mandatory Palestine against allies of Nazi Germany is the greatest crime. But that's your view.
Classic trolling my a*se. I have come across enough Zionists to know that they like to bring up the crimes committed against Jews whilst ignoring, excusing or denying the crimes they have committed. The original poster stated that "of course, nobody has a copyright on massacre", which is true and should be borne in mind by certain rabid anti-Muslim posters wallowing in the bloodshed in Syria.
Raziel was a violent killer who met his end doing something useful for the Allied War effort. Good that he died doing this as no doubt he would have turned on the British later but the mission he was killed undertaking is not the reason he is celebrated in Israel. The killers of the Lehi and Irgun, including those who blew up the King David Hotel have all been decorated by the Israeli State.
Here's what the propagandists would rathe you didn't know:
The pogrom of Safed in 1929:
'David Hacohen was a resident of Safed and witnessed the aftermath of the Safed pogrom. He documented his observations in his diary.
"We set out on Saturday morning. . . I could not believe my eyes. . . I met some of the town's Jewish elders, who fell on my neck weeping bitterly. We went down alleys and steps to the old town. Inside the houses I saw the mutilated and burned bodies of the victims of the massacre, and the burned body of a woman tied to the grille of a window. Going from house to house, I counted ten bodies that had not yet been collected. I saw the destruction and the signs of fire. Even in my grimmest thoughts I had not imagined that this was how I would find Safed where "calm prevailed."
The local Jews gave me a detailed description of how the tragedy had started. The pogrom began on the afternoon of Thursday, August 29, and was carried out by Arabs from Safed and from the nearby villages, armed with weapons and tins of kerosene. Advancing on the street of the Sefardi Jews from Kfar Meron and Ein Zeitim, they looted and set fire to houses, urging each other on to continue with the killing. They slaughtered the schoolteacher, Aphriat, together with his wife and mother, and cut the lawyer, Toledano, to pieces with their knives. Bursting into the orphanages, they smashed the children's heads and cut off their hands. I myself saw the victims. Yitshak Mammon, a native of Safed who lived with an Arab family, was murdered with indescribable brutality: he was stabbed again and again, until his body became a bloody sieve, and then he was trampled to death. Throughout the whole pogrom the police did not fire a single shot'
just reading what some of these fanatical Islamists have posted here I'm beginning to think the crusaders had a point.
These "Crusaders" you admire routinely massacred civilian populations in the Levant during the crusades making no distinction between Muslims and Jews. Crusaders returning from the Holy Land also indulged themselves with pogroms against Jews in Western Europe eventually leading to the expulsion of Jews from many countries in Europe. Most of these Jews found sanctuary in the Ottoman Empire. The only point here is on top of your head.
Thus spake the defender of the Waffen-SS conscripts on the Denis McShane thread. Thus spake the exonerator of Waffen-SS conscripts.
Your highpocrisy knows no bounds. Thus spake the defender of the Gaza war where 1400 men, women and children were massacred by Israeli brutes and cowards, hiding in aeroplanes and tanks.
Denis "I love Zionism" McShane (the man who would attend the opening of an envelope so long as he could claim for it on his expenses) is as ill-informed as you are.
" The Baltic Waffen-SS Units (Baltic Legions) are to be considered as separate and distinct in purpose, ideology, activities, and qualifications for membership from the German SS, and therefore the Commission holds them not to be a movement hostile to the Government of the United States".
These are not my words but those of the US Displaced Persons Commission. That is why these men were employed by both the US Army and BAOR as auxilliaries carrying out such diverse duties as guarding Nazi War Criminals at Nuremberg and participating in the Berlin Airlift.
Any more smears in the locker scumbag or will you leave the dirty work to one of your sock puppets?
china gets its energy from russia. Russia gets its consumer goods from china. Hence no need to play along with the un charade. Kofi and the un has sunk as low as you can get.
The Syrian people are bleeding because they have been killed by NATO supported CIA/MI6 mercenary groups such as al-Qaeda. This is shameless war provocation, backed-up by despicable propaganda from the state supported media.
The claimed justification for an invasion of Syria is so that innocent lives can be saved; this is a baseless argument, we need only remind ourselves of the millions killed in Iraq and Afghanistan to know that there is more to it than that – these people care nothing of the rights and well-being of innocent people trying to go about their daily lives.
An invasion of Syria – failing that the incitement of a civil war – is all about destabilising the country and the region as a whole. The same strategy has either played out or is in the process of being played out in Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Yemen, Lebanon and Iran. Ultimately, it's about subjugation by the west and the seizure of natural wealth, just like the Soviet Union 'experiment' and the phoney cold war – do your research.
Here we are again, yet the people within western nations still refuse to see the higher agenda, the hidden hand that is at work and has been for so very many years – the Fabian Society (self-proclaimed wolf in sheep's clothing) is one of the many instruments of control. One can only conclude that the people are happy in their ignorance and servitude (debt peonage), yet there is the blood of the millions dead on their hands also.
Imperialism: a system that mercilessly exploits humanity and condemns nations and their people to terrible suffering for the gain of a very few. Divide and conquer is the favoured method – supporting both sides in the conflict if necessary – seeding and fostering hatred within mankind so that all may fall. Time for all to unite and begin to push back against this abomination, that which has been the scourge of humanity for so long.
The Syrian people are bleeding because they have a Baathist fascist killer as their president and the 'opposition' is led by homicidal Islamist crazies who are just as murderous. For some sicko Islamist to blame the US for Moslems butchering Moslems in Syria is quite remarkable and represents a completely diseased mind.
Since 1948, almost 10 million Muslims have died at the hands of fellow Muslims
Where is the outrage over that? Double standards abound. As the Israeli envoy Dan Gillerman said in 2008: "When Christians kill Muslims, it's the Crusades. When Jews kill Muslims it's murder, and when Muslims kill Muslims, it's like talking about the weather. Nobody really cares about it."
And as the late Samuel P. Huntington observed: "Wherever one looks along the perimeter of Islam, Muslims have problems living peaceably with their neighbors. The question naturally rises as to whether this pattern of the late 20th century conflict between Muslim and non-Muslim groups is equally true of relations between groups from other civilizations. In fact, it is not. Muslims make up 1/5 of the world's population but in the 1990s they have been far more involved in intergroup violence than the people of any other civilization....Islam's borders are bloody, and so are its innards."
Trust Julia to peddle this crap again. You ahve already been banned form one thread. You come up with this predictable unoriginal. I am guessing your standard fo writing is such that not even your favourite comic the Jewish Chronicle would employ you. I wonder why. Let me think................
You have cut and paste this before from the Danish Fascist Website before (EDL members love the site). At least give them a credit in your post or even try thinking for yourself.
True to form, as the canine in Pavlov's experiment, up jumps our resident troll. The one whose contempt for Jews (not Zionists, mind you but Jews) shows on all threads going back for months. Without an original thought in his mind, he feverishly reads websites such as Rense, Veterans Today, David Duke and other Nazi websites. But since this is a Left Wing paper he knows his audience. So he positions himself on the Left, knowing that he can tap into the wellspring of antisemitism in the Radical Left.
Yes, it's Armi, readers. Armi who heils...sorry...hails from Scotland (meh) and is here with his tin foil hat made out of the smelted helmet of a Waffen SS soldier that Armi keeps firmly on his head as he forays once more from his local paper shop to the DSS to his computer.
But the only question that is yet to be answered: When will Armi's sidekick appear? The Costello to his Abbot? Surely, it can't be long before the other Schlemeil makes an appearance.
After all, bills must be paid and fees from the Islamist/BNP paymasters must be earned.
So Jankaas, are you going to comment here too?
true to form JJJ uses the most miserable events in recent history for a bit of a laugh. no respect for the memory of all those who were annihilated, just abuse it as a blunt weapon to score petty points against those who annoy JJJ. what a 'man' eh?
so JJJ you got your wish, i am here. now what? i rather doubt you'll be able to stay on topic and stand your ground against me. go on genius, give it your best shot, what would you actually suggest for this Syrian crisis?
Sorry to be the one to break the news to you but commenting on this site is not the sole preserve of Zionist cut and paste amateur propagandists, EDL/BNP goons and kosher fascists.
You do not have to display your stunningly unoriginal bacofoil prejudices in this way; I already know you are a loony.
Are you the duty Zionist troll tonight or are the other spankers just taking a break (all that bile spouting must be so tiring)?
I will do as I please and don't take any kind of direction or notice of an utter low life like you.
If we are going to refer to lowlifes, I think you could easily win the award. Nobody gives a hoot about what you think or say. I heard you were banned from another NS thread.LOL
I will take this as a confession that beyond cut and paste propaganda fed to you by the EDL and other hate groups you are simply a brainless mong.
I take a charitable view of Arminius . He cannot help being a vile racist and anti-Semite. He is the product of a lunatic Madrassa in apartheid Pakistan and his parents were siblings. The combination of a twisted education and inbreeding is what we see here polluting these comments.
The only Madras I have had anything to do with was the one I ordered in the Rawalpindi in Saughiehall Street. I'm afraid that I do not have a charitable view of you bagel boy and believe the best part of you ran down your mother's leg.
If we are going to resort to lunatic asylum language, might I suggest you, Julia and JJJ take a break there. You clearly need it as tha ngst youa re carrying for Israel is falling on deaf ears
Um the article as far as I know doesn't originate and from any kind of EDL site and isn't where I have copied it from. As for being a brainless mong, it is Islamo fukwits like you who are filled with hate and are too stupid or thick to say anything of substance. You then try to insinuate that people who are rightly concerned about the Global Jihad and the spread of Sharia are the problem, your a joke.
When have you ever said anything of substance in your life. keep repeating your lonely mantra: I must try to write more intelligently!!!!! Go on!!!

If you had read properly and thought before touching the keyboard you would notice that I did not suggest that the source of the article was not the EDL (to many big words for such boneheads) but rather Danish fascists. Why not cut and paste the web address of the source so we can all read the full article?
If there is a "global johad" then the thread will be addressed by the security services and, if necessary. There is no requirement for ill-educated bigots to stoke the flames of racial hatred and if you continue to do so I am sure you will find that there are other government agencies which monitor such activity. It may upset you to be called a brainless mong but if the cap fits....

Arminius you deranged inbred Islamist do you need to repeat your crap three times?
Why is it that you Fredrick rear your ugly head and post vile racist nonsense when ever Israel in mentioned. Use of the word deranged and inbred show that you must be taking your cue from the EDL??????
Ask Julia and JJJ as they do the same thing. Please stick your head in a poly bag. Do I have to repeat this for you Opa?
Why not come clean and admit that it is Jankaas who does this and that you don't want to include him in your list because you don't want to upset him?
And prove it that I either 1. cut and paste my posts verbatim and repeat them; 2. press send more than once. Since you can't prove this, you are mistaken.
No JJJ it is you and your whacko Zionist trolls and you know who you are who post the usual rubbish about Islam, Muslims. I can see you are a diehard Israel fantasist, trouble is you are in a minority. Your contributions are neither original nor intellegent. As for your cheap shot at Jankaas, his contributions are witty, ironic and downright funny. The same cannot be said of your juvenile postings.
I am sure Jankaas does this as well but so what? I am not the a*sehole that brought the subject up in the first place you sad little teewat.
Um the article as far as I know doesn't originate and from any kind of EDL site and isn't where I have copied it from.

The effect of logging on canopy nectar production in tall forest trees has for the first time been investigated by NSW DPI researchers, with funding from the Honeybee Program of the Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation and Forests NSW.
State forests provide the major honey resource for the beekeeping industry in NSW.
While Forests NSW has a number of management practices in place to retain nectar-producing trees during logging operations, there has been no information on how much nectar is produced by retained trees or young trees regrowing after logging.
Indeed, beekeepers have expressed concern about the effects of logging on nectar production, especially the perception that young trees do not produce as much nectar as mature trees.
The two eucalypt species chosen for research, Spotted Gum Corymbia maculata and Grey Ironbark Eucalyptus paniculata, are of prime importance to nectarfeeding wildlife, the timber industry and beekeepers.
Using cranes and cherry-pickers, flowers in forest canopies over 30 metres high on the NSW south coast were accessed. Nectar in flowers bagged overnight was measured to determine how much nectar they produce.
Both large and small trees were measured in forest with different logging histories: recently logged, regrowth and mature (more than 50 years since logging).
After measuring thousands of flowers, the study concluded that nectar production in Spotted Gum on a per flower basis was not affected by logging history nor tree size.
When the amount of nectar produced by whole forest stands is estimated on the basis of individual flower measurements and counts of flowers and trees, the study found that mature forest produced almost 10 times as much sugar per hectare as recently logged forest.
However, because current logging practices result in a mosaic landscape, where some areas are logged and others are left untouched, the impac

One of the worst things Sanger did was to start Citizendium. It failed, and Wikipedians now have a wonderful argument to add to their armoury. It failed, because of the policy on attracting experts. Ergo, crowdsourcing is the only way to build a comprehensive and reliable reference work.
Here are some reasons I think Citizendium failed:
1. There was only ever room for one Internet encyclopedia, for Google and 'network effect' reasons.
2. Experts have a limited attraction for any such project as this. I remember Larry claiming that when he advertised on the philosophy lists, philosophers would come flocking in. They didn't. I was working with one other philosopher (aka Mel Ititis on Wikipedia) at Citizendium. He left due to some petty dispute with Sanger, and I left not wanting to be the only philosopher.
3. Sanger was unspeakably rude to many of the participants.
4. After he realised that it would be hard to attract experts, the bars were lowered and all sorts of strange pondlife registered.
Just my thoughts. Or am I wrong? Is crowdsourcing the only real way to create a comprehensive and reliable reference work?

Keeping It Real
--I have a craft blog. Posting takes time. Crafting takes time. But I love it.
--I have been doing photo sessions this fall - it's fun, I love doing it, capturing moments for families, etc. But in the fall it's really busy - there were weeks I had 5+ sessions - crazy. Not to mention each session then has 1-2 hours of photo editing. Oh, the hours spent staring at the computer...
--ALL 4 of my kids have birthdays in the fall, within 5 weeks of each other. Only 2 had parties this year, but still, 2 parties.
--My oldest is turning 8 and will be baptized - so planning, etc for that.
--Room mom, hosting crafting playgroups, etc.
--I was crazy and agreed to be in a Quiet Book Group - cranked out 18 quiet book pages
--2 of my kids were in fall sports - some of you may think this is nothing, but it's our first year to have 2 in a sport at once, and it was busy.
--I put together the Primary Program at church.
--I am in a crafting competition (SYTYC) that requires a new fabulous craft each week. Why did I do a fall season?!?!
--We got Netflix on the Wii and I have to watch all The Office episodes, one by one..
--The regular church activities, playgroups, music groups, book groups, library storytimes, etc.
--Of course, trying to be the best wife/mother I can :)
You can laugh at me - I know I volunteered for almost all of this - it all sounded fun at the time - and it all usually is, just not at the same time. Anyways, something had to give, and it's cleaning. I can keep on top of my main level, but the basement is shot, and my craft room might have hit the point of no return (in my defense, my mom cleared out bins and bins of stuff and I of course took them - they haven't found a place yet, so normally it's not SO bad!) - is this how hoarders get started?!
Here you go, just Keeping it Real for your viewing pleasure:
I can't waste time cleaning because there's always a deadline for another project that takes higher priority. And occasionally you'll see this at my house: toddler in jammies mid-morning, confined to a circle in front of the TV (really, I thought it was too cute when I found him sitting the hulahoop, I had to take a picture).
My husband can't really talk when it comes to taking on too much - look what's coming along in our backyard:
(and yes, I thought about presenting a Playhouse Castle as my finale project in SYTYC - wouldn't that have been great?! but I didn't construct it and it might be more of a craft than the competition is looking for!)

I'm so glad to know you are real. I was thinking about your perfect family phot0s and wondering how you do it all. Just this morning, I was talking w/ my husband about going part time at work, as our spring is like your fall, and we are both in grad school to boot. I can hardly keep up now, and it's only getting busier, and we want to get pregnant at some point w/in the next year. It's nice to know you aren't the only one who is overwhelmed - even if it's all good stuff, b/c even though it's all good, it's too much good.
ReplyDeleteoh friend, I am TOTALLY with you. I looked around my craft room yesterday and thought about taking a picture of the DISASTER, but then decided against it because it is outright frightening. you're right, though- every time I think about cleaning there is another (self-imposed) deadline. and so the mess of one project piles on top of the mess of the last.
on my drive home from Thanksgiving, I spent a decent amount of time thinking about how I feel overextended and need to do something about it.
thanks for sharing. I wish I weren't in the same boat. :)Mandy, You are amazing! I hope life slows down to a comfortable pace this winter. I think we all have times where life gets crazy. The good thing - our kids will probably never remember those messy rooms, and no one else matters. Thanks for always "keeping it real". Just makes us admire you all the more.
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel. Right now my office is torn apart because I am reorganizing it... but I didn't have any time to work on it today.
I would love if you wanted to link up to my new section I am just started on Wednesdays on my blog. It is called What would Sandy suggest? I did one room and will start a link up if you want me to feature your space in future weeks ... and I can give you my suggestions of what might help to organize. Hmmm... time might be one of those suggestions. lol
my site is www.organizewithsandy.com since I'm not on blogger anymore. Thanks!How ironic is it that I just posted that I need to get myself organized & came across your blog, must be fate!! I have a big crafting area located in my family room/basement which I never use it just holds all the crafting items. All u mommy crafters that have suggestions please read my blog & help me out ;)
Comments are awesome! - - I reply to every question via email (if your email is linked to your comment) and I really really appreciate each comment!!


text: The relationship between the velocity and pressure exerted by a moving liquid is described by the Bernoulli's principle: as the velocity of a fluid increases, the pressure exerted by that fluid decreases.Airplanes get a part of their lift by taking advantage of Bernoulli's principle. Race cars employ Bernoulli's principle to keep their rear wheels on the ground while traveling at high speeds. The Continuity Equation relates the speed of a fluid moving through a pipe to the cross sectional area of the pipe. It says that as a radius of the pipe decreases the speed of fluid flow must increase and visa-versa. This interactive tool lets you explore this principle of fluids. You can change the diameter of the red section of the pipe by dragging the top red edge up or down.

Falsely Accused of: Murder
Time Served: 10 years
Date of Wrongful Conviction: 19/3/1996
Date of Release: 14/12/2005 on bail, found innocent by appeal on 17/3/2006.
Stevie was wrongfully convicted of murder in March 1996, having already spent 5 months on remand. According to the Lord Justice Clerk the Police had been guilty of 'grave misconduct' having 'suppressed and altered evidence'. Their actions, in the words of Colin MacAulay QC, had 'deprived' Stevie and Billy 'of a fair trial'. Stevie was released after over 10 years in prison. Some aspects of Stevie's case are still active, and along with Billy Alison he continues to fight to see those responsible for his false conviction brought to justice.

Best French Toast in Toronto
Posted: August 20, 2012
The ingredients may be simple, and the method might be basic, but somewhere in the mixture of eggs, milk, bread, and a frying pan, magic happens. And Toronto just happens to be home to some particularly ingenious wizards in the kitchen when it comes to french toast.
School could teach the world a thing or two about this brunch classic. Among the variety of omelettes, eggs benedict, pancakes and crepes for offer, there are two french toast dishes – one sweet, one savory. The Crunchy French Toast ($12) with orange infused honey and whipped brown sugar is for those who prefer to begin their day with a little dessert. The Super Cheesy French Toast ($13) is just as sinful, drizzled in both melted cheese and maple syrup, topped with double smoked bacon, with a side of greens. You'd be crazy to skip out on either one.
Lady Marmalade
If you want to try the french toast at Lady Marmalade, you have to earn it. Weekend lineups for this Leslieville favourite are legendary, and the "bread pudding"-style Daily Baked French Toast ($11) always sells out quickly, with rotating flavours like Strawberry-Raspberry, Mango-Apricot, Banana-Chocolate and even Trail Mix. The bread is thick and soft, the filling oozing and juicy. With a side of fresh fruit, maple syrup, and berry coulis – not to mention bottomless coffee with the purchase of food – there is a reason why so many brunch-lovers show up bright and early to this cute, retro resto.
Saving Grace
Saving Grace doesn't discriminate against the sweet-toothed or the savory cravers. The French Toast with Caramelized Bananas ($8.75), using a lightly egg-washed sourdough baguette topped with maple syrup, will deliver a sugar rush without weighing you down. The Savoury French Toast option ($9.75), stuffed with caramelized apples, roasted red onions and Gruyere cheese, served with greens, is a hearty, gooey, yet crispy choice for hungrier brunchers in the Trinity Bellwoods area. As with most worthy breakfast joints, expect a lineup on the weekends, but go during the week for a quick french toast fix.
Leslieville is arguably Toronto's mecca for brunch, and Torontonians have unanimously chosen a few favourite spots. Bonjour Brioche is a quaint joint on Queen East with provincial French design and a great patio that's open in the summer and heated in the winter. Known for its freshly baked croissants, tarts, baguettes, and of course, brioche, the Baked French Toast ($9.50) comes highly recommended from the seasoned brunchers of Toronto's east end.
Against the Grain Urban Tavern
With slick hardwood floors, tall windows, and dark decor, Against the Grain certainly does go against the grain of the typical brunch spot. That's because it isn't – it's the new gastro-pub to hit Sugar Beach, with a patio that offers a one-of-a-kind view of the lake. Who wouldn't want to look out at the water while devouring the scrumptious Fred's Bread Brioche French Toast ($12) with grilled peach maple syrup, berries and farmer's sausage? With places like Against the Grain, the power lunch could soon be replaced with the power brunch.

Early B.
This is one of the worst movies I've seen lately. They took a decent story and screwed it up with terrible directing and poor editing -- very choppy like a music video. Hard to follow. Turned a simple story into a complex one and failed. Extra 45 minutes of B.S. should have been cut out of the movie. Several top actors in a very bad movie.

I wish someone would open an old style cafe in that shopping center, that served breakfast. There is nowhere in that area that you can order a breakfast. Maybe the market for it just isn't there. I agree, let the market decide how many Pizza joints or bars or any other type of business people want to open.
Yeah, good point. You see those places everywhere else in the south. I frequent one in Flowery Branch, GA when I visit. Papa Jacks, open 7 days a week from 6 am to just past lunch time. That would work great here. Dunkin, Waffle House, and Food City deli aren't a substitute for this.

Or as I like to refer to it, "lysdexia."
Today, learning differences such as ADD, ADHD, and to some extent Tourette's Syndrome, Asperger's, dyslexia, and others are part of today's educational and social frame work. But it hasn't always been like this.
When I was in grammar and junior high school, late 1950s through 1960s, I suffered from undiagnosed dyslexia. My daily struggles with trying to figure out if "41″ might actually be "14," coupled with the occasional snicker from classmates and the impatient tapping of a teacher's toe — or worse, a histrionic or impatient "sigh" – sent me sliding down a very deep, dark, frightening and lonely slope.
The problem snowballed with each of my failures. The negative feedback grew each time I couldn't read words correctly; each time I did the homework that appeared on page 13 instead of page 31; and each time I ran the wrong football play (an "2-3 Option Pass" instead of a "3-2 Option Pass"). My growing fears and insecurities turned even a friend's throat clearing into a snicker.
There was no specific time when I came to the conclusion that "something was wrong." One day, the knowledge wasn't there. The next day, it was.
I was trapped in a cycle of effort and failure, and the more I tried to fight it (listen to well-meaning friend's whispered answers in class, memorize full pages of a history lesson, count on fingers and toes, etc.), the more firmly I was stuck. There was so much internal pressure at my tony private school in McLean, Virginia that I was using antacids by the time I was in fifth grade.
All was not dire, though. During that year, I had a wonderful teacher, Miss Barlow, who knew something was up with my unorthodox learning style. She took the time to speak talk deliberately and to work individually with me.
But there was no real structure in place, even at that expensive school, for meeting the needs of students who didn't fit the norm. So, by sixth grade, I was tossed back into the category of "stupid," "lazy," and "unmotivated" students who didn't care. I felt an alien from another planet.
The overly-sensitive reactions of adolescence had me questioning myself every time I opened my mouth. I had no confidence in what was going to come out. Inside, I knew I had the right answer. However, my differently-wired brain wouldn't route it appropriately. When I tried to speak it aloud, the taunting began every time.
I found that my brain and mouth paired up to become my worst foes. Together, they betrayed me at every educational turn. Regardless of my efforts (which ran out at a very specific moment on a very specific day in seventh grade), my report cards were laced with demoralizing words and such comments as "Shows no care" that I couldn't defend.
Instead, I reacted with anger and tears. Home was a single-parent family fueled by unpredictable bouts of alcoholic, bedroom abuse, and the inexcusable crossing of personal boarders. Rage at home wasn't accepted. But the tears streamed down my cheeks, and the internalized rage began to find a very comfortable home inside of me where it festered.
Back to that seventh grade moment: this was the defining moment which would guide me and set my path in cement for the next fifteen years. A teacher who, up until that time, I had all the respect in the world for, was going around the room asking students to read aloud answers to the previous night's homework assignment. As the answers started making their way down my row and towards me, the usual flop-sweat started streaming down my back. By that time, my lack of confidence in my reading abilities and memory was insurmountable. I didn't know whether what I was about to say was going to fit the definition of an acceptable assignment answer or not. It might, but most likely, it would not. This was my own internal crapshoot.
The time came. I gave my answer, and there was a controlled wave of laugher. I expected this, because by seventh grade, I'd learned that I was the class jester. This was the same old stuff.
What was different this time, though, was that my teacher – whom I practically hero-worshipped – asked me from his desk, "Did you do you homework?" My sweat increased, and my by-now familiar tunnel-vision started. I could hear the echoes of the far-off laughter. I responded, as I always did, "Yes, sir."
He stared at me, stood to his full 6′ 4″ inches, rolled up his sleeves, and slowly made his way to me. "You'd best not be lying to me, boy!"
I don't remember what happened exactly after that but, to this day, I do remember the primal explosion and fury in my head which initiated the screaming of anguish. I then knew that everything "they" had said about me for the past ten years was true. I gave up.
I quietly folded my book and sat staring forward. "If you say I'm dumb and lazy and not trying, well then, so be it. I am." That was it. The battle was over.
My core, my spirit, could simply take it no longer. I was 12 then and turned 13 that summer. And my childhood was over.
That was the "Summer of Love." With the help of two older sisters, I discovered pot and booze. From that time until I was 27, I did my level best to self-medicate on a daily basis.
The schools I attended became less and less demanding and, at the end of every school year, I was very happy to learn that once again, I was to attend summer school where they have to give you at least a "D-." I graduated high school with a 1.2 average.
These were the days of the Vietnam conflict. To avoid the draft, I had to find a college, any college, that I could get into. In Rhode Island, there was just such a junior college that had an "open enrollment" (no SATs required) policy at the time. Naturally, I had skipped the standardized test because I couldn't handle any more evidence of how stupid I was. My mother had recently remarried and I was, for all intents and purposes, on my own at 17.
That college turned into a four year drunken party and drug fest, but I did discover my talent and ability for acting there. Since I did well in theater courses, I declared a Fine Arts Major, and the last two semesters, I even made Dean's List.
But the damage had been done. Due to the undiagnosed dyslexia, and the complete of understanding from those torturous school days in Virginia — coupled with nights at home with a dysfunctional family –the die was cast. I had one goal, and that was to get as far away from reality as I could.
The rest of the story is your typical, further slide into moral and person decline. Attitude and ego prevailed and I was way ahead of any attempt to reach out to me. In my formative years, my trust had been sabotaged. So how could I expect the adult years to get any better?
From time to time, though, I did have to laugh as I screwed up the bar tab. Dyslexia was always along for the ride as I paid the tip or made change.
Enter Divine Intervention. Two things happened when I turned 27.
First and foremost, I discovered a twelve-steps group that helped save my life. Here's how it happened. I grew tired of waking up in an apartment with only a single, vomit-stained mattress. I was also tired of spending most of my mornings trying to find my car and making sure it had no new dents or, worse, blood on the fender.
My sister had recently died, and my reaction to her death fit in with the rut that my undiagnosed dyslexia had starred to dig so many years earlier. I was devastated, but made no attempt to try and deal with it. I accepted it and all its darkness.
As I said, though, I'd grown tired of waking up in that condition. And here's where it gets surreal. For reasons that I'll never understand, 34 years ago, July 3rd, 1978, I picked up the phone and called A.A. There had been no mention of A.A. in my life — not literature, no lectures — "simply" an answer when I put out a desperate plea. I learned where a local meeting was, dragged myself into it and never looked back.
The A.A. experience is everything you hear about it and more. I'm not going to get into the why's or wherefores of the program right now. Simply put: if you want it to work, truly want it deep down in your heart, it does.
Amazing Thing Number 2 was starting to happen. Small moments of joy began to come into my life. For the most part, they had to do with boats: boat construction, boats design, sailing of boats, racing of boats, and — the very oddest of all — reading about boats.
I devoured all manner of boating literature — fiction, design discussions, maritime history, and real-life adventure. As I tore through them, I began to remember that I was directly related to William F. Weld, my great x 6 grandfather who owned one of the largest pre-Civil War shipping fleets of schooners in the country.
Once on the water, I had an innate ability to make a boat go from here to there. For the first time in my life, I was home, and I "understood" where I was and who I was.
But even more amazing than all of that were the stacks of read and dog-eared books that had by this time piled up in my apartment. These were books that I'd read over and over and over again.
I loved reading these books and good do so with no signs of stress, and with no scolding echoes of Potomac School and my undiagnosed dyslexia – instead, I could read them with sheer, unaltered joy!
There was no one to scold me for saying that the date was 1875, not 1857, and for the first time in my life, it didn't matter one damn bit!
I was who I was. I was able to read and retain — or not. If I was wrong, it didn't matter a lick because I was me. And if I didn't, or if I don't, fit your mold, that's your loss.
I was not an autonotom who could recite the periodic tables backwards and in Greek. Granted, when I was taking a boat off-shore or up the coast, there were quite a few times when my dyslexia gave me a completely incorrect course.
But by that time, due to the love and compassion I'd found for myself and my forgiveness of my learning challenge, I laughed about it! And then came GPS!!
I could go on for pages and pages about what dyslexia did to, and for, me: where it took me, and what the breakthrough point was for me. But I hope, by now, you get the idea. I absolutely love being "lydsexic" and wouldn't want it any other way.
Which makes me wonder: how many of you out there suffer with a leaning challenge? How many of you share this sort of experience, this breakthrough, this total acceptance of self?
OK, truth be told, I have two questions. The second is: how many of you still suffer with the shame and guilt of being called "stupid" and "dumb" and — my all time favorite — "You'll never amount to anything." (Well, Miss Price, I've written two books, am one of the very few people to have fully circumnavigated North America, piloted the first production powerboat in history to go through the Northwest Passage, have had a top-rated magazine format TV show, have won an Emmy Award as well as multiple broadcasting and international awards for writing … and I have read a whole bunch of books! And I have enjoyed every single one of them!)
I would love to hear your experiences and share in your thoughts, breakthroughs, or feelings of despair. I don't have any answers expect for what happened to me, but I do know that it's through the strength of reaching out, comparing notes, comforting one another and laughing… that all these learning challenges and extreme difficulties can be put into proper perspective. When that happens, we can find out who we were truly meant to be. We can find our passion and bliss and, above all else, find our collective happiness — for there are a whole bunch of us out here, and there's strength in numbers!!

I had an accident when moving and managed to mess upp my
Midibox SID v2 (dual 6581 SID) completely. I have now fixed the
damaged parts but had to get a new PIC since the original was broken.
I have burned the PIC with the latest bootstrap and also uploaded
the latest MIOS. I have also downloaded the latest MBsidv2 zip file
and then proceeded editing the 6581.asm file to my liking. I am
currently trying to build a HEX file without any luck.
Last time I built a HEX was 2-3 years ago so I've updated myself using
the info in this link: http://www.midibox.o...hain_quickstart
All I get is and error message wich is displayed in this picture:
sorry for the blurry picture
I am using a Frost computer (Quad Core 3.4Ghz) running Win7 home.
All related files needed for compiling HEX are installed at these
Whats happening here? I must be doing something wrong, I just wonder what?

Early this morning with the move below $1291 it became official: that big surge on September 18 (the bombshell "No Tapering" day) marked a day one top for gold's current daily cycle. Day one tops, are to put it mildly, very bearish in cycles analysis.
I was in cash so I didn't see fit to send out an update. I would urge anyone still long metals or miners to step aside. Don't try to be a bottom-caller here.

There seems to be some lag at the confirmation page, but everyone says when they go back it shows that they've already requested the sample. So, I think it's taking it, just has some traffic issues. I just did it and it took a minute to get started. I'm sure they are getting slammed, but this is a GREAT freebie, so be patient. It does take several weeks to show up, so be aware of that.
