FRANKFURT AM MAIN, Germany, October 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Consumer demand for natural food ingredients, functional foods, among other trends are growing and forcing manufacturers to continuously develop and innovate. At the Food ingredients Europe (Fi Europe), visitors can learn about pioneering product ideas, new taste sensations and health promoting ingredients, while networking with the world's leading ingredients suppliers. From the 19-21 November, in Frankfurt, leading ingredient producers will present new trends and a sweeping range of food innovations. Here are some highlights:
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130723/629764-a )
Barry Callebaut: First chocolate manufacturer to use health claim
The world's largest chocolate manufacturer, Barry Callebaut, is the first company in the cocoa and chocolate industry that may use a scientifically founded health claim. "Cocoa flavanols helps maintain the elasticity of blood vessels, which contributes to normal blood flow" - this claim can now be used to declare that a daily intake of 200 mg of cocoa flavanols contributes to healthy blood circulation. This method preserves 80% of the flavanols in ACTICOA® chocolate in the fermentation stage of chocolate production.
Beneo: The global player from Mannheim
The exhibitor BENEO, from Mannheim, also offer a number of health promoting ingredients for products in demand with consumers. At Fi Europe 2013, this functional ingredients manufacturer will be presenting comprehensive concepts, targeted at helping food and beverage producers satisfy the demand for healthy lifestyles. The company will present a various number of innovative ingredients, for example, nutrients with low glycaemic carbohydrates and properties that prevent tooth decay.
ADM: 30,000 employees in the service of global food trends
ADM will be presenting a new and extensive product portfolio at Fi Europe. This time, its chocolate expertise will take centre stage. ADM has a variety of high quality chocolates, cocoa butters, powders and liqueurs to present. For example, the cocoa powder DeZaan D11SQ will be introduced for the first time in Europe. D11SQ bridges the gap between popular brown and red powders by offering a broad range of applications, with baked goods, beverages, ice creams plus more.
Döhler: Natural colours open new possible applications
Companies like Döhler impress trade fair visitors with a unique assortment of technology based natural flavours, colours, milk products, grain ingredients and fruit and vegetable extracts. With its flavour creations from African and Brazilian fruits, Döhler provides unique taste sensations and enables differentiated product positioning.
The trend of colouring foods, with natural colours extracted from other foods, can be seen at Fi Europe 2013. With its "Crystal Clear Colours", Döhler provides a breakthrough innovation for transparent beverages. The company has demonstrated its knowhow in developing the carotenoid based colours with bright orange and yellow hues. Its formulation technology allows the unprecedented use of colours with a neutral taste profile and highest stability in clear beverages, without any artificial ingredients:
Tate & Lyle: Success with an innovative partner programme
In addition to showcasing ingredient trends, Fi Europe introduces food and beverage manufacturers to innovative partner programmes. British producer Tate & Lyle, for example, will be presenting its SPLENDA® Sucralose PLUS PROGRAMME. Here, Tate & Lyle offers comprehensive services as part of its concept-to-lab-to-market programme - from concepts for immediate manufacture of product samples, to in house workshops for identifying market potential, to logistical support.

Tom Hanks Movies
American leading actor
Tom Hanks
has become one of the most popular stars in contemporary American cinema. Born July 9, 1956, in Concord, CA,
spent much of his childhood moving about with his father, an itinerant cook, and continually attempting to cope with constantly changing schools, religions, and stepmothers. After settling in Oakland, CA, he began performing in high-school plays. He continued acting while attending Cal State, Sacramento, and left to pursue his vocation full-time. In 1978,
went to find work in New York; while there he married actress/producer Samantha Lewes, whom he later divorced.
debuted onscreen in the low-budget slasher movie
He Knows You're Alone
(1979). Shortly afterward he moved to Los Angeles and landed a co-starring role in the TV sitcom
Bosom Buddies
; he also worked occasionally in other TV series such as
and Family Ties, as well as in the TV movie
Mazes and Monsters
finally became prominent when he starred opposite
Daryl Hannah
in the Disney comedy
, which became the sleeper hit of 1984. Audiences were drawn to the lanky, curly headed actor's amiable, laid-back style and keen sense of comic timing. He went on to appear in a string of mostly unsuccessful comedies before starring in
(1988), in which he gave a delightful performance as a child in a grown man's body. His 1990 film
Bonfire of the Vanities
was one of the biggest bombs of the year, but audiences seemed to forgive his lapse. In 1992,
' star again rose when he played the outwardly disgusting, inwardly warm-hearted coach in
Penny Marshall
A League of Their Own
. This led to a starring role in the smash hit romantic comedy
Sleepless in Seattle
Although a fine comedic actor,
earned critical respect and an even wider audience when he played a tormented AIDS-afflicted homosexual lawyer in the drama
(1993) and won that year's Oscar for Best Actor. In 1994 he won again for his convincing portrait of the slow-witted but phenomenally lucky
Forrest Gump
, and his success continued with the smash space epic
Apollo 13
(1995). In 1996,
tried his hand at screenwriting, directing, and starring in a feature:
That Thing You Do!
, an upbeat tale of a one-hit wonder group and their manager. The film was not particularly successful, unlike
' next directing endeavor, the TV miniseries
From Earth to the Moon
. The series was nominated for and won a slew of awards, including a series of Emmys. The success of this project was outdone by
' next,
Steven Spielberg
Saving Private Ryan
won vast critical acclaim and was nominated for 11 Oscars, including a Best Actor nomination for
. The film won five, including a Best Director Oscar for
, but lost Best Picture to
Shakespeare in Love
, a slight that was to become the subject of controversy. No controversy surrounded
' following film,
Nora Ephron
You've Got Mail
(1998), a romantic comedy that paired
with his
Meg Ryan
. Although the film got mixed reviews, it was popular with filmgoers, and thus provided
with another success to add to his resumé. Even more success came soon after when
took home the 2000 Golden Globes' Best Actor in a drama award for his portrayal of a shipwrecked FedEx systems engineer who learns the virtues of wasted time in
Robert Zemeckis
Cast Away
. Though absent from the silver screen in 2001,
remained in the public eye with a role in the acclaimed HBO mini-series Band of Brothers as well as appearing in September 11 television special America: A Tribute to Heroes and the documentary Rescued From the Closet. Next teaming with American Beauty director Sam Mendes for the adaptation of Max Allan Collins graphic novel The Road to Perdition (subsequently inspired by the Japanese manga Lone Wolf and Cub, the nice-guy star took a rare anti-hero role as a hitman (albiet an honorable and fairly respectable hitman) on the lam with his son (Tyler Hoechlin) after his son witnesses a murder. That same year,
collaborated with director
again, starring opposite Leonardo Dicaprio in the hit crime-comedy Catch Me if You Can.
For the next two years,
was essentially absent from movie screens, but in 2004 he emerged with three new projects: The Coen Brothers' The Lady Killers, yet another Spielberg helmed film, The Terminal, and The Polar Express, a family picture from
Forrest Gump
and Castaway director
Robert Zemeckis
. 2006 was a very active year for
starting with an appearance at the Oscar telecast that talented lip-readers will remember for quite some time. In addition to helping produce the HBO Series Big Love, he scored a major international success by reteaming with director Ron Howard for the big-screen adaptation of an Brown's novel The Da Vinci Code, which was such a success that he signed on for the sequel in 2009, Angels and Demons. His Playtone production company would have a hand in the animated feature The Ant Bully in 2008, and that same year he filmed The Great Buck Howard co-starring his son Colin Hanks. He also signed on to co-star with Julia Roberts in two different films: Mike Nichols' Charlie Wilson's War in 2008 and the romcom Larry Crowne in 2011. Later that same year, Hanks would make dramatic waves in the post-9/11 drama Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, which was nominated for an Oscar for Best Picture.
Ranked by Empire Magazine as 17th out of "The Top 100 Movie Stars of All Time" in October 1997,
is married to actress
Rita Wilson
, with whom he appeared in
(1985). The couple have two children in addition to
' other two from his previous marriage. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

At the time of its release, Jonathan Demme's Philadelphia was the first big-budget Hollywood film to tackle the medical, political, and social issues of AIDS. Tom Hanks, in his first Academy Award-winning performance, plays Andrew Beckett, a talented lawyer at a stodgy Philadelphia law firm. The homosexual Andrew has contracted AIDS but fears informing his firm about the disease. The firm's senior partner, Charles Wheeler (Jason Robards), assigns Andrew a case involving their most important client. Andrew begins diligently working on the case, but soon the lesions associated with AIDS are visible on his face. Wheeler abruptly removes Andrew from the case and fires him from the firm. Andrew believes he has been fired because of his illness and plans to fight the firm in court. But because of the firm's reputation, no lawyer in Philadelphia will risk handling his case. In desperation, Andrew hires Joe Miller (Denzel Washington), a black lawyer who advertises on television, mainly handling personal injury cases. Miller dislikes homosexuals but agrees to take the case for the money and exposure. As Miller prepares for the courtroom battle against one of the law firm's key litigators, Belinda Conine (Mary Steenburgen), Miller begins to realize the discrimination practiced against Andrew is no different from the discrimination Miller himself has to battle against. The cast also includes Antonio Banderas as Andrew's partner, Joanne Woodward as Andrew's mother, and Stephanie Roth as Joe's wife. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Two brothers are the victims of their widowed mother's violent drunkard husband who spares no rod with the youngest brother. Reverting to a world of make-believe, they imagine that their Radio Flyer wagon can fly and that in it they can escape their tormenting stepfather. This film deals in an almost make-believe manner with the serious issue of child abuse. It is narrated by Tom Hanks. ~ Rovi

The All-American Girls' Professional Baseball League was founded in 1943, when most of the men of baseball-playing age were far away in Europe and Asia fighting World War II. The league flourished until after World War II, when, with the men's return, the league was consigned to oblivion. Director Penny Marshall and screenwriters Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel re-create the wartime era when women's baseball looked to stand a good chance of sweeping the country. The story begins as a candy-bar tycoon enlists agents to scour the country to find women who could play ball. In the backwoods of Oregon, two sisters -- Dottie (Geena Davis) and Kit (Lori Petty) -- are discovered. Dottie can hit and catch, while Kit can throw a mean fastball. The girls come to Chicago to try out for the team with other prospects that include their soon-to-be-teammates Mae Mordabito (Madonna), Doris Murphy (Rosie O'Donnell), and Marla Hooch (Megan Cavanagh). The team's owner, Walter Harvey (Gary Marshall) needs someone to coach his team and he picks one-time home-run champion Jimmy Dugan (Tom Hanks), who is now a broken-down alcoholic. After a few weeks of training, as Dugan sobers up, the team begins to show some promise. By the end of the season, the team has improved to the point where they are competing in the World Series (which is no big deal, since there are only four teams in the league). ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Academy Award-winning screenwriter John Patrick Shanley's first foray into the director's chair is a quirky romantic fantasy, featuring Bo Welch's signature production design. Tom Hanks plays Joe Banks, a man who hates his job, thinks the overhead fluorescent lights are making him sick, and quakes at the presence of his boorish boss Frank Watori (Dan Hedaya). He is attracted to the office secretary DeDe (Meg Ryan) but is afraid to speak to her. Then his life changes when he visits Dr. Ellison (Robert Stack). Dr. Ellison tells Joe that he has something called "a brain cloud" that is rapidly spreading throughout his brain. He will feel great, but he'll be dead within five months. Instead of being depressed at this bleak prognosis, Joe suddenly feels free. He quits his job, asks DeDe out, and is contacted by a rich millionaire named Graynamore (Lloyd Bridges). Graynamore owns an island named Waponi Woo, whose natives need to be placated. The natives require a sacrifice to their island volcano, the Big Woo, so that the island won't sink beneath the Pacific. Graynamore offers unlimited wealth to Tom in exchange for Tom's becoming the object of human sacrifice. Joe has nothing to lose, so he accepts the offer. As he heads out to the island, Joe meets Graynamore's daughters -- Angelica, a Los Angeles socialite, and Patricia, Angelica's blonde half-sister (both roles played by Ryan). Joe arrives at the island, and as he stands at the lips of the Big Woo he has to decide whether he really wants to leap into the maw of the fiery volcano. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Brian De Palma's Hollywood sanitization of Tom Wolfe's scabrous satire stars Tom Hanks as Sherman McCoy, the "master of the universe," a shallow Wall Street investor who makes millions while enjoying the good life and the sexual favors of Maria Ruskin (Melanie Griffith), a Southern belle golddigger. Sherman and Maria are driving back to Maria's apartment from the airport when Maria takes a wrong turn on the expressway and the two find themselves in the South Bronx. She sees a black youth approaching Sherman's car and Maria, frightened, guns the engine, running over the teenager and killing him. The two drive away and decide not to report the accident to the police. Meanwhile, indigent alcoholic journalist Peter Fallow (Bruce Willis), anxious for a story to make good with his editor, comes upon the hit-and-run tale through local black community activist, Reverend Bacon (John Hancock). Bacon plans to use the hit-and-run case as a rallying point for the black community, while Fallow recognizes the press coverage inherent in prosecuting the callow Sherman. As Sherman is brought to his knees, the New York community fragments into different factions who use the case to suit their own cynical political purposes. Finally, Sherman is left without any allies to support him except for the sympathetic Judge White (Morgan Freeman) and the remorseful Fallow. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Add Turner and Hooch to top of Queue
One by-product of two consecutive Oscar wins is that Tom Hanks no longer has to appear in such potboilers as Turner and Hooch. Hanks plays Turner, a meticulously groomed, excruciatingly well-organized detective working in a small California coastal town. When local "character" Amos Reed (John McIntire) is murdered by drug smugglers, the only witness is Reed's slobbery, smelly mutt, Hooch. You're way ahead of us, folks: Turner, who despises dogs in general and Hooch in particular, is compelled to put the cantankerous dog up as his house guest. Also easily predictable is the fact that Turner and Hooch will, by the next-to-last reel, become boon companions. To its credit, the film has an abundance of laughs and thrills...but, gee, that ending! Neither terrific nor terrible, Turner and Hooch is a pleasant time-filler; we do wish, however, that more time had been spent on the budding romance between Turner and veterinarian Emily Carson (Mare Winningham). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Ward and June Cleaver have nothing on suburban couple Ray and Carol Peterson (Tom Hanks and Carrie Fisher). Together with their perfect son, Ray and Carol are so clean that they squeak. Thus, when new neighbors Dr. Werner Klopek (Henry Gibson), Uncle Reuben (Brother Theodore), and Hans (Courtney Gains) begin evincing bizarre behavior, Ray is slightly put out. Carol thinks that Ray is getting all worked up over nothing. Ray and his fellow suburbanites endure all sorts of slapstick misadventures in the vain hope of getting "the goods" on the newcomers. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

More than anything else, 13-year old New Jerseyite Josh (David Moscow) wants to be "big". That's the wish he makes at an odd-looking amusement pier fortunetelling machine. The next morning, Josh wakes up-only to discover that he's grown to manhood overnight! (At this point, the part is taken over by Tom Hanks). Still a 13-year-old mentally and emotionally, Josh decides to hide out in New York City until he can figure out what to do next. He lucks into a job with a major toy company run by kid-at-heart McMillan (Robert Loggia). By cannily bringing a child's eye view to McMillan's business, Josh rises to the top-and in process, he falls in love with fellow employee Susan (Elizabeth Perkins). But he's still a kid, and he'd like to go back to his own world and own body. Written by Gary Ross and Anne Spielberg, Big proved a crucial success for budding director Penny Marshall, who'd work harmoniously with Hanks again on the radically different A League of Their Own. The cinematography was by Barry Sonenfeld, who went on to become a director himself with The Addams Family. That Big was heavily reliant upon the input of Tom Hanks and Penny Marshall was proven by the failed attempt to turn the property into a Broadway musical. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Sally Field goes the Roseanne route in Punchline. Field plays a housewife and mother who suddenly develops the urge to be a comedienne. Her comic instincts are on target, but her timing and delivery stinks. Tom Hanks, a stand-up comic with a few years' experience under his belt, offers to teach Field the ropes. As they get to know each other, Hanks and Field begin to pick up on each other's shortcomings; though Hanks has far more talent than Field, for example, he has a positively ruinous habit of expressing his deep-down dislike of everyone else in the world, and this frequently alienates his audience. Writer-director David Seltzer times Punchline like a good joke; he continually sets up for the expected, then pulls a last-minute fast one, keeping the film lively and unpredictable throughout. The supporting cast, coincidentally including future Roseanne star John Goodman, is uniformly superb. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Dan Aykroyd must have practiced for months to perfect his Jack Webb inflections for Dragnet. Screenwriter Tom Mankiewicz's directorial debut (also written by Mankiewicz, along with Aykroyd, and Alan Zweibel) is a gentle spoof of the legendary '50s television police drama -- pitting '50s conservatism smack up against the attitudes of the '80s. Basically, the film is another 48 Hours or Beverly Hills Cop clone. Aykroyd stars as Joe Friday, the nephew of the original Friday. But with his brown suit, fedora, and lockjaw, he could just as well be the incarnation of Jack Webb. He is involuntarily assigned a smart alecky, street-wise partner, Pep Streebeck (Tom Hanks), and they are appointed to investigate a series of religious cult murders in L.A. The two cops follow the trail to a phony televangelist, the Reverend Jonathan Whirley (Christopher Plummer). From there, they are only at step away from uncovering an Orange County-based religious cult calling itself P.A.G.A.N. (People Against Goodness and Normalcy). After sneaking into a secret ceremony, Friday falls in love with the sacrificial victim Connie Swail (Alexandra Paul). So much so that even after his superior Captain Gannon (Harry Morgan, reprising his role from the '60s revival of the Dragnet program) orders him off the case, Friday continues on, with the requisite car chases and crashes that usually climax any '80s cop movie or comedy. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Both Anna and Walter are willing to fix what ails the house and since they are both successful professionals, that should not be too difficult. Unfortunately, what ails the house might be terminal as the rest of the film chronicles the battle between the couple and the disintegrating structure.

However, Sarah's family are Sephardic Jews who are not enthusiastic about her seeing an American, particularly one whose father is a Protestant minister. While David and Sarah want to see their romance through, her family is just as determined to stop it, to the point of barricading her inside her room.

Garry Marshall directed this film which starts as a light comedy but moves into heavy-duty drama later on. David Basner (Tom Hanks in a good performance) works in an ad agency, where he enjoys bantering with his co-workers and meets a lot of women. He hasn't been especially close to his father (Jackie Gleason) and never thought about him much until his Dad is left devastated when his wife of 36 years walks out on him. He is soon faced with serious health problems as well. This propels the elder Basner on a downward slide that affects David and their relationship. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

"I'm in love with a mermaid!" read the opening line of Leonard Maltin's original review for Splash. And with the delightful Darryl Hannah in the lead, who could fault Maltin for his public declaration of ardor? The story begins in 1959, when a young boy is rescued from a watery grave by an adolescent mermaid. Twenty-five years later, the boy has grown up--and lo and behold, it's Tom Hanks. Meanwhile, the mermaid, likewise grown up, has surfaced in search of Hanks, her long-lost love. On dry land, the mermaid is able to walk about on legs; any contact with salt water, and she reverts to her half-fish form. Adopting the name of Madison from a New York street sign, the girl manages to win Hanks' heart. Alas, a secret government lab, populated by such smarmy types as Richard B. Shull and Eugene Levy, captures Madison for research purposes--and possible vivisection. Egged on by his brother John Candy, Hanks rescues his beloved, joining her in the ocean depths as a mer-man (mer-fellow? mer-guy?) A captivating confection from the peerless creative team of director Ron Howard and screenwriters Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel, Splash was a winner all the way--especially at the box office, where the $11 million film racked up a huge profit. Historical sidebar: Splash was the first release from Disney's Touchstone Pictures division. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Tom Hanks stars in this raunchy teen comedy from veteran screenwriters Pat Proft and Neil Israel, who had previously collaborated on the amusing sketch film Tunnelvision (1976) and the disappointing Americathon (1980). Bus-driver Rick Gasko (Hanks) is engaged to wealthy Debbie Thompson (Tawny Kitaen), much to the chagrin of her father (George Grizzard), who considers Rick a loser. To keep an eye on her future groom, Debbie and her friends dress as prostitutes to attend his bachelor party, which quickly turns into a bacchanal of smutty debauchery. Familiar faces in the cast include action stars Michael Dudikoff and Ji-Tu Cimbuka, pin-ups Monique Gabrielle and Rosanne Katon, and teen-movie regulars Adrian Zmed and Wendie Jo Sperber. It's an occasionally hilarious excursion into bad taste, although one which two-time Oscar winner Hanks would probably like to forget. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi

Remember that controversial participation game of the 1980s called "Dungeons and Dragons"? Remember how sociologists warned us that the game was potentially dangerous to those who couldn't altogether separate fantasy from reality. This is the premise of Mazes and Monsters, a made-for-TV film based on the best-seller by Rona Jaffee. Future Oscar-winner Tom Hanks portrays one of four college students who become so deeply involved in a Mazes & Monsters session that the results may turn fatal at any moment. Despite its potential for silly sensationalism, the film is based on a believable premise, and arrives at a logical conclusion. When first aired December 28, 1982, this Canadian-American production was titled Rona Jaffee's Mazes and Monsters. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Hurts So Good/Out of Control FVP027
Here is the super-hung Duke in a hard, fast film that may cause you to wince as you watch him plunge his tremendous cock farther and farther and faster and faster, into his partner.
GOLD COAST MARINE. This highly praised Dimension classic stars real life lovers, beautiful and built Michael and Philip, in one of their first--and best--film together.
COUNTRY BOY. As boys will, handsome farm stud Bill slips away to his secluded spot in the woods to relieve his pent-up sex drive. This day, however, he's joined by the young guy from the neighboring farm.
INCH BY INCH. When two well-hung hunks discover one another's cock potential for the first time, it's often a matter of whether either can handle the other anally or not. Bob and Davy solve this size problem by taking it inch by inch!
HURTS SO GOOD. Here's Ray Fuller look-and-hung-alike Bert Edwards forcefully subjecting his partner, Joel to his own special brand of insatiable, near-sadistic, bedroom recreation.
WINTER'S COME. For practicality's sake three young studs share a motel-room bed while on a short winter outing. Such close comfort soon leads to some prankish wrestling and this to outright cock arousal.
OUT OF CONTROL. It's wildman Bert Edwards again, paired with a blond, boyish Davey, the "Inch by Inch" man. When totally uninhibited top meets take-it-all bottom, you've got some of the wildest footage that Dimension's cameras recorded.
ON LEAVE. Take an on-leave sailor with but one onboard male-fuck experience and bunk him with a well-practiced teacher hungry for really big dream-meat and you've got the makings for an AWOL-Action Without Letup!
A WINTER PLACE. When Dean of "The Brothers" and buddies Keith and Skip relax in front of the fire at their winter weekend mountain-top cabin, their sexual "War Stories" heat up the three studs' crotches.

Ceremonial Kokochi, Zuñi
In the group dances in which the kachinas are all alike, the men are dressed with extreme care. Each part of a costume is as like that of its neighbor as human hand can make it. No corps de ballet in white tarlatan and pink slippers could be more uniform. The stiff white kilt is folded
around the body to the same point above each knee, the shining black hair hangs to the same straight line at each waist, and the tail of each swinging foxskin clears the ground by the same few inches. The Zuñi Kokochi (pl. 37), the good or beautiful kachinas, are an excellent example of this nicety of similarity.
In September, 1936, I made a casual visit to the pueblo of Zuñi. Leaving my car near the road, I slowly circled the adobe houses in the direction of the sacred dance plaza. Suddenly I heard the deep tones of a chant, vibrant and somber. Climbing to the housetop, I looked down upon the dancing gods below. Forty-five dancers, facing each other, stretched in two lines along one side and part of each end of the plaza. One row, thirtyone in number, representing the male characters, danced shoulder to shoulder with their backs to the plaza. Nearest the wall and facing them were fourteen Kachina Maidens, who turned with the male dancers.[52] The movement flowed continuously from one end of the line to the other. Around, behind, and in the center capered the ten Mudheads, watching the dancers intently so that they might give immediate assistance when hair was entangled in evergreen sprig or turtle-shell rattle slipped from its leg position and interfered with a performer's movements. A dancing god should be as unconscious of such irritating trifles as a West Point cadet on dress parade.
At the head of the lines stood the priest, without a mask, his gray hair clubbed at the neck and bound with a hairband, and a downy white eagle feather moving gently at his forelock. He wore a dark blue shirt of native weave with set-on sleeves, and a white kilt with a brocaded sash tied on the right side. On his legs were blue knitted leggings held in place by red and white garters. He carried a terraced-edged bowl from which he sprinkled meal to make a 'road', and a beautiful wand, the insigne of his society, made of many kinds of brilliant feathers fashioned together and concealing an ear of corn. This ear of corn is known as the "life token."
In the long kachina line there were twenty-nine Kokochi, their bodies painted with pink clay from the Sacred Lake. Each one wore the conventional white embroidered kilt. The white plaited sash, the symbol of rain, was knotted on the right side and the long cord fringe moved restlessly with the dance. A red woven belt was looped over the sash. Pendent foxskins were fastened to the belts in the back, their tails clearing the ground by a scant three inches. Sprigs of spruce were stuck in each belt and woven into bristling anklets worn just above the bare feet. Spruce was carried in the left hand of each dancer. Just below each knee, bunches of dark blue native-spun yarn were tied. At the back of the right leg, just below the bend of the knee, was fastened the turtle-shell rattle. From it hung deer hoofs which hit against the hard shell as the uneven beat was accented with the right foot. A bunch of blue yarn ornamented the right wrist, and a bow guard of leather with silver and turquoise the left. Bunches of native blue yarn and many beautiful necklaces of turquoise and white shell were worn around the necks of the dancers. The right hand carried a gourd rattle filled with pebbles, the clatter of which simulated the sound of falling rain. The half masks were blue-green with rectangular black eyes. The added strip of leather edging the bottom was painted in blocks of black and white, "symbolic of the house of clouds" where the Sky Gods live.[53] A long beard hung from the lower edge of each mask. The dancer's own hair rippled loose and free with a knot of bright yellow parrot feathers on top of the head. A white homespun cotton cord, weighted with a piece of turquoise or a silver trinket, fell down the back, and to this at regular intervals downy eagle feathers had been attached in an erect position.
With the Kokochi, and dancing in their line, were two Upoyona or Cottonheads (pl. 17); one or two of whom often dance with the Kokochi.[54] They are gentle dancers, the sons of the chief of the sacred kachina village, and they occasionally come with the Kokochi to aid them in bringing rain.[55] They were dressed exactly the same as the other dancers: body
paint, kilt, sash, belt, spruce sprigs, foxskins, and wrist guards, yarn on arms and legs, rattles. However, instead of spruce anklets they wore turquoise blue moccasins with red trim and black and white heelpieces of porcupine quill. Their helmet masks had blue faces, with domino-shaped designs around the eyeholes. There were large eartabs edged with thick fringes of hair, and the wigs were of black horsehair straight-bobbed at the lower edge of the great spruce collars. There were long, flat snouts, and topknots of downy white eagle and yellow parrot feathers, from which hung three strings of loosely twisted cotton cord laid over the black hair at the back.
The Kachina Maidens, or Kokwelashtoki (pl. 38), form the second line.[56] They wore black dresses of woven wool. White Hopi blankets with red and black borders were thrown over their shoulders. The feet were painted yellow and the hands white. The legs were covered with dark blue knitted leggings, and there were anklets of evergreens. Blue yarn was tied around the wrists, and bunches of spruce were in each hand. They also wore many necklaces. The half masks were white with rectangular black eyes, and the shiny blackness of the thick horsehair beard was broken by the soft whiteness of three long, downy, eagle feathers. The hair was parted in the middle and wound on either side over rectangular frames of wood; then it was bound with yarn. Thick black bangs of goat's wool hung completely around the head, thus concealing the edge of the mask. A single white downy eagle feather hung from the center of each forelock.[57]
The Kokochi Dance, a prayer for moisture, is performed more often than any other Zuñi ceremony. It always opens the summer series. It is especially important on the occasion of the return, every fourth year, from the Sacred Lake, where certain of the impersonators go to acquire clay and tortoises. The live tortoise is afterward carried in the dance. Later it is killed, and the shells are cleaned and made into dance rattles which
are worn by all masked dancers. These masked beings, "the prototype of the katcina,"[58] are particularly identified with the Lost Children. The legend says that in the course of wanderings subsequent to the mythical emergence of the Zuñi from the four worlds below, they crossed a stream. The children, carried upon the backs of their mothers, fell into the water and were immediately turned into snakes, turtles, lizards, and frogs.[59] Swimming into the Sacred Lake, they became kachinas, and they have lived there ever since. The manner of the Kokochi is always gentle and mild, and they always bring happiness to the people. Their prayers and dances call down the rains and thus keep the world green and beautiful. They come at any time in winter or summer and are impersonated by dancers from each of the kivas in turn. In winter, when the Kachina Maidens come to dance, they bring, hidden under their blankets, the corn for the people to plant in the spring. It is deposited on the altar of each kiva they visit, and the priest distributes it at the end of the dance ceremonial.
The Kokochi is one of the dances which "require the presence of a couple, male and female, at the head of the line, who go through certain peculiar motions and have certain esoteric prayers. Only three men know these prayers, and they must be invited to perform for all kivas."[60] The two lines form in the ceremonial chambers and march in order to the dance plaza. They are led by a priest who, scattering corn meal before them, "makes this their road."
These same masked dances are said to be found in other pueblos,[61] but nowhere is there such precision of step and unanimity of costume as in this oft-repeated Rain Dance of Zuñi.

Here is what torakris, the host of the Japan Forum, wrote about Okonomiyaki Day here. (For more, see post #81.)Is Takikomi Gohan Day on Dec 12th an annual event? Is this a special day? Are we all supposed to cook together at the same time? Well, anyway this sounds fun.
Anyway... since those in Japan will be making it more than half a day before the other side of the world, if you are busy on the 1st, then there is no problem making it on the 30th or even later that weekend.
Pictures if possible would be great, but not necessary, I think we should keep the way we are making it a secret so then we can be surprised by all of the pictures.
I guess this applies to Takikomi Gohan Day.

Hypothetical: I am a born-and-raised Christian. I own two dogs; both were very important in me overcoming my depression in dealing with my father's death. Essentially, I adore these dogs. However, the hadith demands I live without them. As a potential convert, could I live with these dogs? What if I pledged that these would be my last; that I would treat them with love and kindness, and keep them out of my prayer area, and promised I would not replace them after they passed? It just seems that giving them up, after all the comfort and peace they have provided me, is an incredibly painful thing to ask. It would be as if to rip out my heart itself. |
Firstly I like to say may Allah help you make the best decision Secondly And do not exchange the covenant of Allah for a small price. Indeed, what is with Allah is best for you, if only you could know. Whatever you have will end, but what Allah has is lasting. And We will surely give those who were patient their reward according to the best of what they used to do. -16:95-6 So what's stopping you from giving up that one thing in your way, being a barrier to paradise? What is it which is so hard to let go of? See beyond your weakness to let it go, be it the opposite gender, or music, or a certain kind of dressing style, look beyond it and realize that what Allah has, is far better than anything He has given you now and if you want a piece of the big cake, you gotta let go of these tiny cupcakes. The Messenger of Allah sws said, "whosoever leaves something for the sake of Allah then Allah, the Mighty and Magnificent, will replace it with something better than it." -Reported by Ahmad [5/363]; saheeh According to Islaamic Sharee'ah, it is not permitted to keep a dog except within narrowly-defined limits, as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) explained: "Whoever keeps a dog, his good deeds will decrease every day by one qeeraat (a unit of measurement), unless it is a dog for farming or herding." According to another report: ". . . unless it is a dog for herding sheep, farming or hunting." (Reported by al-Bukhaari, al-Fath, 2322) Dogs are extremely naajis (impure, unclean). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "If a dog drinks from the vessel of any one of you, let him wash it seven times" (reported by Muslim, no. 279). According to another report: ". . . and clean it the eighth time with earth." (Saheeh Muslim, no. 280). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) told us not to resemble dogs by placing our forearms on the ground during sujood (prostration), as in reported in the hadeeth narrated by Anas ibn Maalik, according to which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Do sujood properly; none of you should spread his forearms like a dog does." (al-Bukhaari, Fath, no. 822). Whoever keeps a dog in his house is denied the blessing of the angels' presence in his house, as the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "The angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog." (Reported by al-Bukhaari, 3225). Keeping dogs nowadays is the habit of the disbeliever , who adopt them as friends, kiss them, let them lick them and their clothes, sleep with them and even leave them money in their wills. Keeping a dog is an imitation of the kuffaar. Some Muslims may claim that they need to keep a dog at home for purposes of protection, to which we respond that nowadays there are burglar alarm systems and other measures one may take for security purposes, and there is no need to keep a dog, praise be to Allaah. It only remains for us to say that the fact that it is forbidden to keep a dog and interect closely with it does not mean that we should not be kind or feel compassion towards dogs if we see them in a pitiful state. These are two entirely separate matters. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) told us that "a man saw a dog biting the dust because of thirst, so he took his shoe and started to scoop water up with it until the dog's thirst was quenched. Allaah appreciated his good deed and granted him entry to Paradise for it." (Reported by al-Bukhaari, no. 174). Nothing goes unrecorded, and no good deed of a believer goes unrewarded. Any good deed you do, Allah will multiply the reward for it and any bad deed you do, you will be punished for it to the same weight down to the last atom, or Allah will forgive you. What is a better exchange than that? Who is a better trader than Allah? Why wouldn't you want a piece of that? Indeed, Allah does not do injustice, [even] as much as an atom's weight; while if there is a good deed, He multiplies it and gives from Himself a great reward. -4:40 |

"And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers" [Aal 'Imraan 3:85] Your backing away from the religion of Islam is considered to be a loss for you, and a loss of the happiness that awaited you, had you entered Islam. You should hasten to enter Islam, and beware of delaying, for that delay may lead to regrettable consequences.

First Beta Version of Ulteo Online Operating System
Gaël Duval has announced the first beta release of the Ulteo Application System. This innovative Linux distribution aims to drastically simplify the use of computers applying thin client principles to do so.
Users will not need to install applications; instead programs run centrally on an Internet server. To achieve this, Ulteo provides various online services including the Ulteo Online Desktop, which supports program execution in a browser, and offers up to one GB of online storage where users can store their documents. The recently published Ulteo Application System (Ulteo AS for short) implements the client for access to these services, and is thus the core element in the Ulteo Framework.
Under the hood, Ulteo AS is based on a pimped Ubuntu distribution. Users log in to the online desk via "Ulteo AA", a Kerberos-based authentication service; the connection is then established via VNC. Local files are synchronized with online versions by a synchronization service; currently an online storage limit of 10MB applies. On top of this, the developers have introduced a "My Digital Life" panel that helps users to manage their own documents and applications in a convenient way.
Ulteo mainly finances its operations with value-added "Gold" and "Premium" services. Ulteo's founder and CEO Gaël Duval is well-known in the Linux community: he founded Mandrake Linux (later renamed to Mandriva) in 1998. Eight years later he was dismissed. Shortly after this Duval founded the Ulteo WebOS project. Duval tried to launch a similar concept dubbed Eazel, a few years ago but the endeavor failed.

hotel is ok for a one night stop over, not much to do locally
Overall great. Although we were only there for one night, we will stay again when in L.A.
Loud when next rooms turned on water for bathing. Loud outside hallway. Doors of other rooms very loud when closed.
Location is perfect if you have a car, once it's close to the highway. Rooms were nice, comfortable and very clean.
Parking lot For only a few cars, and expensive
Like the closeness the the airport and easy access to shopping
Shuttle to lax, very good personnel service and helpful.
The air conditioning isn't automated and without remote control. It's just pure air blowing from the ceiling and have to get up every so often to adjust the temperature... Not recommended for people with asthma or health problems on breathing.
Parking was a nightmare, reception needed to be hovered.
Staff extremely welcoming. Very accommodating in trying to address problems with on-site parking. Room service food excellent.
On-site parking situation deplorable!! Parking clearly not prioritized for hotel guests. If parking largely given over to large events, there isn't any left for guests. Shuttle service to other parking sites would help, as would clearly negotiated off-site fees.
It is comfortable
The parking is very bad
No restaurant availability in the hotel, very poor food supplies in the local hotel store, no water or healthy snack availabilities, water on the floor tasted horrible! Fiji, Evian, Pellogrino waters will be a good water choices. Too loud area
Noisy - you could hear other guests in other rooms
Overall hotel is good and well located (if you have a car) from the main tourist points in LA.
Even thou I have 3 credit cards, none of them were accepted due, as spoke by the front desk, "the system being very sensitive", so I had to pay in cash. At first I thought it would be a problem with my bank, but used my credit cards outside the hotel without no issue. Tried one more time at check-out to pay for the parking (quite expensive, 19USD/Day) and didn't work again.
Very welcoming staff. Great value for money if just needing a close airport stop over.
free shuttle / close to airport
I stayed in traditional double bed room and my room was so bad. You can easily hear all noise from corridor and other rooms. it was the worst Sheraton Hotel that i have ever stayed. Outside of the hotel and reception look so good and new but rooms are very old and dirty. AC in my room was working very noisy, there was no way to sleep at night so i had to turned ac off during the night time. Parking is extra cost per night and it was very hard to find available place to park your car. i spent 30 minutes in parking lot. it was a big mistake to stay in this hotel so i wont repeat this hotel for sure.
Very comfortable beds, free wi-fi, nice lobby, very kind and helpful staff (except one male recetionist)
Bathrooms very small and useless, everything gets wet on countertop
The location was good.
30 minutes after we had checked in and gone to bed someone tried to enter our room but their key didn't work. I could hear them and I got up. Some guest had our room number written down on his key-folder. Had my 14 year old daughter been in the room alone I'd have been even more upset. Booking.com put my rate at $89 plus tax (by my count $14.38)- yet the hotel has an authorization on my card right now for $139!
Value, location, Clean, restaurants
Very strong smell of frying bacon starting around 4 a.m.
super helpful staff
bed could have been more comfortable. Bathroom a little more updated.
Cheap and clean. Good shower. Greek restaurant (aliki's) near hotel is fantastic for a quick meal after a long flight.
Comfy beds clean room 24hr shuttle to and from airport..
Location was great…
Mediocre room for $$$
- close proximity to the airport; - free shuttle every 15-20 min, - good variety for breakfast, - pool, - free wifi
2nd time i stayd in the eastern tower. The bathroom was smaller, and the view was less picturesque. Stick with Western Tower
The room rate. (On special)
The extra $20 per night for outdoor car park.
Clean, good value for money and very handy for the airport. The free shuttle bus was great!!
Good location close to airport
Parking charges $19 per day. Understand it must be controlled but no need to extort this amount from hotel guests.
The hotel was clean, beds were comfortable, wi-fi was free, and close to LAX.
Front desk clerks were less than friendly. Not a single one smiled at check-in or check-out.

Carolyn Hoecker Luedtke is a litigation partner in the San Francisco office of Munger, Tolles & Olson. Ms. Luedtke's practice focuses on complex business litigation, with a particular emphasis on intellectual property matters. In 2013, Ms. Luedtke was named one of the Top Women Lawyers in California by the Daily Journal and to The Recorder's Women Leaders in Technology Law list. The publication also named her one of the top 20 attorneys under 40 in 2012.
Trade Secret and Employee Mobility
Ms. Luedtke has significant experience in trade secret matters, both in situations involving employee mobility, where individuals move from one competitor to another, and in cases involving allegations of trade secret theft in connection with business relationships, due diligence and partnerships. She is experienced at litigating trade secret matters in federal and state court, as well as in arbitration. Ms. Luedtke also has an active practice counseling clients on trade secret protection plans, as well as conducting investigations into the potential theft of trade secret information and working to resolve those situations short of litigation. Ms. Luedtke's most successful representations are those that remain private and confidential because a mutually beneficial resolution was obtained that avoided costly litigation.
Ms. Luedtke is a frequent speaker at law schools, industry conferences and continuing legal education seminars on the issues that can arise in connection with trade secrets.
Representative trade secret matters include Ms. Luedtke's representation of:
Copyright Litigation Ms. Luedtke's experience in the copyright field includes her work in 2011 for the motion picture industry in shutting down Zediva, an unauthorized service that streamed movies from a warehouse of "rented" DVDs; her representation of Playdom in source code copyright allegations brought by Zynga that settled on the eve of trial; her representation of Vostu in copyright claims brought by Zynga for Vostu's game portfolio; her representation of Electronic Arts in copyright infringement litigation against Zynga over its game "The Ville"; and her representation of a major television network in defeating CBS's efforts to enjoin the reality television show "The Glass House."
General Commerical Litigation Ms. Luedtke has extensive experience in general commercial litigation in a variety of industries. For example, she is currently representing an aircraft manufacturer in a confidential arbitration over contractual rights to certain aircraft technology. Ms. Luedtke also represented Safeway in a complex RICO matter against the nation's pharmacies and obtained a dismissal of all claims, a decision upheld in 2012 by the 9th Circuit. Gaming Industry
Ms. Luedtke is at the forefront of litigation in the field of online and social gaming. Beginning with her representation of Playdom in high-profile litigation against Zynga in 2009, Ms. Luedtke has developed experience and expertise in the legal issues that emerge in the gaming industry. She has advised gaming companies on issues related to the protection of intellectual property – both trade secret and copyright – in gaming properties. Ms. Luedtke was lead counsel for Electronic Arts in its copyright litigation against Zynga in 2012, in which EA alleged that Zynga's online social game "The Ville" infringed EA's copyrighted game "Sims Social." That case settled in 2013. Ms. Luedtke was also co-lead counsel in representing Vostu (at the time the world's largest maker of online social games in Brazil) in litigation in which Vostu was accused of copying a variety of Zynga's leading online social games. That case settled in 2012.
In addition to litigation, Ms. Luedtke counsels a variety of companies in the gaming space on legal issues facing the gaming industry, and she speaks frequently at industry conferences.
Ms. Luedtke graduated magna cum laude from Princeton University in 1994 with a degree in History and American Studies. After working as a management consultant for Marakon Associates, she attended Harvard Law School, where she graduated magna cum laude in 1999. Upon graduation from law school, Ms. Luedtke clerked for the Hon. William W Schwarzer of the United States District Court, Northern District of California.

How Long Will I Spend In An Inpatient Opiate Drug Treatment Program?
Prescription Medication Addiction Starts At Home
Drug Rehabs Use Massage Therapy to Heal Drug Detox Center Patients
Recovery is not a neat and clean process. The reality is, recovery is difficult and filled with challenges and setbacks. this is especially true where the road to healing is often marked by relapse. For many addicts, it can be easy to lose hope for a recovery when they find themseves somehow using even after going throug rehab. Addiction is a disease, and the healing process can take time. Many addiction treatment centers are not able to help every addict find their way out of the darkness and into the light. When this happens, it is easy for addicts to lose their hope and their dream of recovering from their addiction. They find themselves lost and empty, not knowing where to turn for answers.
Treatment centers know how heartbreaking relapse can be for both the addict and thier family. Drug rehabs are in the business of helping addicts turn their lives around and conquer their addictions to drugs and alcohol. The sad truth is that not every addiction treatment center can help every addict. For some addicts, it will take many turns in an addiction treatment center before they can find their bright light once again. There are many addicts who are in a treatment center for the third, fourth or fifth time. This does not mean that they are incapable of recovery. It means that they need patience and support if they are willing to try again.
It is important not to lose hope. Long term recovery is possible for anyone with the right help and support. Search our treatment centers that are well respected in thier field. Places that individualize treatment plans and offer pshychiatric care in addition to addiction treatment are often the best chioce for someone who chronically relapses. Go online and search for dual diagnosis facillities. Sometimes there is an underlying psychiatric condition that cannot be ignored for recovery to be successful.
It can be disheartening to have to return to an addiction treatment center time and time again. Recovery seems elusive and completely out of reach. You have watched countless other addicts walk out of the addiction treatment centers into their new and healthy lives. Why can't you do it too? There is no easy answer. Addiction is a disease that affects every person differently, and every person has a different way of working towards a meaningful and lasting recovery. For many addicts, it will take years and many times in treatment before they experience a difference in how they think about their future. It is important for addicts not to lose hope along the way. Recovery is best achieved at your own pace, and if it takes longer than your friend's recovery, then so be it. The result will be much sweeter.

We got Doom, Resident Evil, Halo, Prince of Persia, Hitman, Wing Commander, Tomb Raider, Silent Hill and many other game-to-movie adaptions.
How about a Bioshock movie ? I have to admit, I really would love to see it.
Maybe Christophe Gans is a good directer. I liked the visual atmosphere of Silent Hill, though the script could have been better. He surely would transfer the mood of Rapture....or Guillermo Del Toro?

Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
Joining me now one of the leading voices demanding answers from this White House about what really happened in -- -- and why.
New Hampshire senator Kelly -- she sits on -- the armed services committee and the Budget Committee senators a pleasure to have you -- Your reaction in particular to that news the president just made him on Ben Ghazi.
Well first of all we have called senator Graham Senator McCain and I have called for the establishment of select committee.
To make sure that we can get to the bottom of what happened in the Gaza because -- what we see happening right now the senate is multiple committees going forward the armed services committee.
The foreign relations committee the intelligence committee.
And it's -- on the stove -- fashion and there are more questions than answers right now and inconsistent.
Answers from these various agencies including the CIA State Department.
The DOD so we need to get to the bottom of this and so my hope is that we will establish the select committee to answer these questions.
I have to say -- respect to what the president said on Susan Rice you said directly that she went.
To every major news network on behalf of the White House.
So that really begs the question we know based on emails that went to the White House that within hours -- Knew that a terrorist group and -- all -- claiming responsibility for this.
So why did she -- -- on every major network and if she did so on behalf of the White House there are serious questions that need to be answered as to why.
The White House would try to leave that this impression to the American people about the circumstances of this.
When there is information immediately -- within hours that this appear to be a terrorist attack.
That was the first I had heard the -- that the White House directly admit that it was on their marching orders she went out.
On -- Sunday talk shows and said which she did about being -- being all about a video.
It'd been speculated by others who had worked in the White House in the past that the UN ambassador doesn't do that -- the White House tells -- to do -- but let's let's listen to that exchange.
Where Ed Henry asked the president the question and his answer.
Let's take us.
I wanted to ask what the families of these four Americans were killed Sean Smith's father ray said he believes his son basically called 911.
For help and they can get.
And I know you've said you grieve for these four Americans that -- being investigated but the families in the waiting for more than two months so.
I would like to for you address the families if you can.
On 9/11 as commander in chief did you issue any orders to try to protect their lives.
You all address the family's.
Not through the -- all -- families.
Directly and clarity have.
And we will provide all the information.
That is available about what happened on that but that's what investigations for.
But as I said repeatedly.
If people don't think that we did everything we can to make sure.
We saved the lives of folks who I sent there.
And who were.
Carrying out missions on -- the United States then you don't know.
How our Defense Department thinks or State Department -- or CIA thanks.
They're number one priority is obviously protect American lives that's what our job -- That was a president speaking specifically about what happened in the week of the bank Gaza attack and saying senator.
That he told the national security team immediately do -- you need to do to make sure that they are safe your thoughts.
My thoughts are that that raises even more questions.
This attack occurred apparently over seven hours so why wasn't the best military in the world able to respond in that period.
What they're so many questions about the request for assistance where they denied -- why.
Why weren't leave -- be able to respond to be attacked in a way that would have protected.
The individuals that were there those brave Americans so I think this raises even more questions.
And again that's why it's so important that we get to the bottom of this through a bipartisan select committee.
And we've seen the stove piping already that different agencies are getting different answers.
We've got to get to the bottom of that we need to know what happened.
We need to know why it was misrepresented the way it was by ambassador rice apparently on behalf of the White House is what we learned today.
And I think that the American people really need answers and we have four brave Americans that have been I killed by terrorists attacked.
The other the other item on Susan Rice where he said it was the White House -- -- -- -- to go out he says specifically.
That if if if senators McCain and Graham want to go after someone he said go after me.
Now presumably he means he was well because you were with them this morning when you called.
For this select committee which is a special group of it's sort of it covers a few different committees in the senate and you get top leaders together and they they all work together to get to the bottom or something it happened after Watergate happened after Iran Contra.
Happen after 9/11.
And so that's what you were calling for -- any -- he says that they wanna go after somebody come after me hear your fellow senator.
Lindsey Graham sent out a message.
Moments ago in response to that said Mr.
President don't think for one minute I don't hold do you ultimately responsible for Ben Ghazi.
I think you failed as commander in chief before during and after the attack do you agree with senator Graham.
I -- else -- the president is the commander in chief and he has the responsibility.
For the safety and security of the American people here and abroad.
So absolutely and we've already raised we've written half a dozen letters to the White House to the administration.
I think it's really important so what did the president know about the higher tax on the consulate.
And if he was not informed by the intelligence -- about those attacks -- obviously we have some shortcomings in our intelligence and what they are.
Briefing the president on these are very important questions because we don't want this to happen again.
And I think that those families do deserve an answer as -- -- the American people at the hole.
Dissidents using -- pain of the stove piping you know I mean I don't believe the -- -- lines of information being walled off from one another.
So you're right you're getting all the information from one group may be staged another -- getting all the information from the department defense -- from the CIA and there the Twain shall meet in an investigation is supposed to get to the bottom.
Have a serious matter senator thank you so much for being here with you thank you -- and.

Reading Between Two Lanes: Pardon the Plants
Here's a preview of my most recent installment of Reading Between Two Lanes coming to The Hur Herald:
Pardon the Plants
Since we started sprouting our own plants for our garden and don't have a greenhouse, our home goes through a period in late winter / early spring when it is overcome by plant trays. Any flat surface near a window is likely to be covered in flat black trays of soil. Counters, shelves, tables – even the spare bed is blanketed with a heavy plastic tablecloth before being covered end to end in plastic trays of dirt.
Every morning, the trays need to be misted and watered, rotated around the light sources, and coddled. When the process first begins, this is a fairly easy process. But once we get close to 20 trays in four different locations, it becomes a rather time-consuming concept.
By the end of March, the days get warm enough to set the trays outside for some real sunlight and some exposure to outdoor elements. This extends the time consumed by these early sprouts and seeds. In addition to watering and coddling, each tray gets moved outside into the warmth in late morning, and moved back inside in early evening – one by one. In this phase, the trays consume space inside the porch door as well, moved that far inside the house, in assembly line fashion, at the end of each day.
Seed sprouts, even in such controlled conditions, are not guaranteed to survive. Dampening is a common problem, where the sprouts look healthy and fine one day, and fall over dying the next. Dampening is even more of a problem if you recycle seed trays and soil, as we do. But I learned this year that watering newly-planted seeds with strong, tepid Chamomile tea will help prevent it from happening.
In addition, without air movement to strengthen the new little stems, the sprouts can grow weak, and fall over. A fan blowing on them, and the daily rotation to face the light source a different way helps keep the stems sturdy and strong. Low levels of light will cause them to stretch high and lanky, desperate for light, which also makes them top heavy and tall also making them prone to fall over.
Some weak sprouts don't survive the introduction to outside elements. Too much sun exposure right off the bat can shock them; too much chill can shock them as well. The little seedlings are delicate, fragile new shoots of life, and they have to be eased into the world.
On average, we manage about an 85% success rate with our seeds. It's my fault really. After having trays all over the house and under foot for several weeks, I'm anxious to push the seedlings outside. I've wiped out entire trays with this one mistake. We cannot rush the growth of new life any more than we can rush the coming of spring.
Let's hope I have the patience this year to let both happen in their own sweet time.
