Horticultural horror No. 2: A bloomin' nightmare
Posted: Thursday, Jul 17th, 2014
(This is the second of a three-part series on horticulture. The first article appeared Sunday.)
In 1964, I lived in a townhouse in Phoenix, Arizona. At the time I was working twenty-five miles to the west and commuted across the desert daily. Our back yard was about the size of a postage stamp and surrounded by a six-foot, grape-stake fence. I decided to beautify the area with a flower garden. The last time I practiced any sort of horticultural activity was in 1948, which produced the great watermelon disaster. However, I was confident I'd learned a lot since then. (I don't know why, I hadn't tried planting anything.)
I dug up a four-foot square patch, and removed all the grass. Next, I put a brick border around the plot, mulched and fertilized the soil and when everything was perfect I planted a packet of assorted flower seeds. The picture on the front of the packet set my heart ablaze. I just knew that was how mine would look. The sweat flowed freely and even cramped muscles failed to dampen my inner pride at my accomplishment.
Each day, after work, I watered and inspected my little plot. My joy was boundless when at the end of a week a tiny leaf popped up right in the middle. As the days passed, more and more sprouted and I knew the pure joy of having created something good. Faithfully I watered and tended my plot and everything grew so nicely that I was thinking perhaps I'd missed my true calling. Maybe I was destined to be a farmer.
One little plant seemed to grow better than the rest and after a few days, I fancied I had a good shot at a blue ribbon in the county fair. I kept watering and feeding and tending. It grew and grew. Soon it towered over all the rest. They, in turn looked puny and stilted. My horticultural masterpiece kept growing and spreading, getting bigger and bigger. All the time, what looked like tiny yellow flowers adorning its delicate branches, seemed about to burst into full glory. I watered and tended and my enthusiasm was undiminished even when all the rest of the tiny sprouts had shriveled and died out. By now, my prize was almost to the top of the fence and spreading out to cover half the back yard. I heaped more water on it and redoubled my TLC (Tender Love and Care). All the time the yellow buds were just on the verge of opening. I spent hours admiring my creation and plucking trash and stray leaves from its lovely branches. It had to be my magic touch that produced such a glorious specimen.
There comes a time when, even the densest among us must begin to hobnob with reality. I must admit that a tiny black cloud of suspicion had taken root in the back of my mind. Just a gnawing feeling something wasn't quite right. However, I was too deep into flora parenthood to back out now. I continued the water and feeding and soon, my flower stood two feet above the back fence. Then, my world of pride and self congratulations came crashing to the ground.
One afternoon, while riding home from work with the carpool, there was a lull in the usually boisterous conversation and I happened to look out at a desert wash. My heart stopped and I gasped and cringed, agog at what I saw. There, before my disbelieving eyes were acres of these things…. The awful truth dawned on me, I had been feeding, watering and nurturing and housing a weed! My shame was complete, my sin exposed and I'd be laughed out of the community. Friends and neighbors alike would talk of me and nod with knowing smiles. To make my humiliation even more painful, I had to buy an ax just to cut the darned thing down. By then the trunk looked like something standing in the redwood forest and the root ball left a gaping crater like a World War II Blockbuster Bomb. Any lingering thoughts of a career in horticulture were dashed on that terrible day, so long ago.
In the next episode I'll tell you about taste buds drivin' to the edge of endurance by anticipation and left broken and torn on the dust pile of desire. Sounds like a tag for a B-rated movie.

UN rights expert urges DPR Korea authorities to spend less on military, more on people

|UN News Service, UN rights expert urges DPR Korea authorities to spend less on military, more on people, 2 November 2012, available at: http://www.refworld.org/docid/5098d1152.html [accessed 31 May 2016]
|This is not a UNHCR publication. UNHCR is not responsible for, nor does it necessarily endorse, its content. Any views expressed are solely those of the author or publisher and do not necessarily reflect those of UNHCR, the United Nations or its Member States.
An independent United Nations expert today voiced continued concern about the situation in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), and urged the Government to re-think its focus on military expenditure and to allocate resources to improve the living standards of its people.
"I continue to be concerned with both the human rights and humanitarian situation in the country," the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the DPRK, Marzuki Darusman, told reporters ahead of his briefing to the General Assembly.
He added that it is very concerning that some 16 million people in the DPRK – of a total population of 25 million – continue to suffer from varying degrees of chronic food insecurity and high malnutrition.
It is also disconcerting, said Mr. Darusman, that the country's leader, Kim Jong Un, has declared that his first, second and third priorities were to strengthen the military.
"Slow economic growth coupled with what is known as a 'military first policy' will of course be detrimental to the welfare of the people of the DPRK," the Special Rapporteur stated.
The expert urged the Government to re-think its approach to the 'military-first policy' and re-allocate enough resources to improve people's living standards. At the same time, he stressed the need for the international community to provide continued humanitarian support to the people of the DPRK without making the support contingent on any political conditions.
"Overall, during this reporting period, there was no sign of improvement in the human rights situation in the DPRK," stated Mr. Darusman, who has not been granted access to the country, despite repeated requests, since his appointment in August 2010.
In his report to the Assembly, he focused on freedom of opinion and expression, provisions of the criminal procedure code that are not in line with international standards, the case of Mr. Oh Kil-nam and his family, the situation of asylum-seekers and trafficking of persons, and the economic situation of the people of the DPRK and its impact on economic, social and cultural rights.
Among his recommendations, Mr. Darusman emphasized the need for the Government to ensure the overall protection and promotion of human rights in the country as provided under international human rights instruments, and to cooperate with the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR).
The independent expert also stressed that "egregious" human rights abuses in the DPRK have been extensively documented by various actors, including UN entities, for decades.
"I wish to call on States and the international community to undertake a comprehensive review of the relevant documents, to assess the underlying patterns and trends, and to consider setting up a more detailed mechanism of inquiry," he said.
Independent experts, or special rapporteurs like Mr. Darusman, are appointed by the Geneva-based UN Human Rights Council to examine and report back on a country situation or a specific human rights theme. The positions are honorary and the experts are not UN staff, nor are they paid for their work.

As we edge ever closer to next week's primary runoffs in Mississippi, we continue to look at some of the candidates taking part.
Those include Kyle Rutledge, who is making a push to unseat longtime Lauderdale County District 5 supervisor Ray Boswell.
Rutledge ran a close second to Boswell in a field of four candidates in the first primary.
He says he believes he has a good chance of winning in the Aug. 23 runoff.
"Just please vote for me on August 23rd. I know 2,250 people did not vote for the current supervisor. And I'm just trying to convince them to vote for me on August 23rd," said Rutledge. "I want you to because I believe I am the man for the job. I have a lot of drive and passion for Lauderdale County, and I want to see it move forward in the right direction."
Rutledge currently serves as a teacher at Southeast Lauderdale Middle School.

RANT To the people who attended a free outdoor movie and left a huge amount of trash. What a terrible example to give your children and how thoughtless to leave that cleanup to the volunteers who made this event happen. I'm a grandmother, had three chairs, two blankets and twin 3-year-olds, and still managed to haul out our garbage. What's your excuse?
RAVE To the two Seattle Parks groundskeepers who saw me sweeping Louisa Boren Lookout; when I explained that my wedding was there the next day they graciously shooed me home so "I could do more important things." They then took care to make the spot pretty and welcoming for our wedding. Their thoughtfulness added to our celebration. Thanks, guys!

My 10-year-old grandson said, "That was gross" — I wonder how the health department would view this? I'm sure the waiter at this great restaurant had no idea what transpired.

Phish reunion rumors?
- From: "Headlight" <northbound.train@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
- Date: Wed, 4 Jun 2008 15:01:43 -0400
x-no-archive: yes
So there are a series of rumors tracing back to Trey (RS) and Tom Marshall
(popmatters) that Trey is ready to play with the band again. So this makes
me wonder once again -- what is Mike Gordon's Chicago Blowout, promoted on
the Magic Hat website? Little indication of when (Early September), where
(Chicago someplace), or who (Mike Gordon "curated") this would entail.
Could this be something that was set up as an undefined event that Mike
could turn into a Phish fest right in the center of the country and
accessible by from both coasts, sponsored by their hometown brewery -- but
which could just be a "summer variety show" if those plans don't
materialize? Just a guess. Are there still folks out there who would have
some contacts who could see what kinds of venues are getting booked for the
beginning of September?

But Capitol Hill is not the only place in America where problems occur when teenage workers mingle with adults who take advantage of age and power to sexually harass them. Lots of employers are in similar situations—and they often are no more adept at dealing with them than Congress has been, workplace experts say.
Generation Y's ability to find information on the Internet means that they often know more about how they should be treated at work than their supervisors do, says Michael Cohen, an attorney in the employment services group at WolfBlock in Philadelphia.
"To think that they don't understand or appreciate their rights is a colossal mistake," says Cohen. Some 3 million young people ages 15 to 17 are in the labor force during the school year, says Cohen, citing Bureau of Labor Statistics figures from 2004, the last year data for that age group was available. The number rises to 4 million in the summer, according to the BLS data.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is reaching out to that age group through its Youth at Work initiative, which has sponsored more than 1,600 employment rights events over the past two years involving 112,000 students, education professionals and employers.
The EEOC touts its success in litigating claims involving teens. In September 2005, Carmike Cinemas agreed to pay $765,000 to settle a sexual harassment charge involving young male employees and a male supervisor in Raleigh, North Carolina. In December 2004, Burger King paid $400,000 to seven female employees who were sexually harassed by a male manager in St. Louis.
Companies incur these kinds of costs when they fail to take seriously harassment training for youth and their supervisors, says Lynn Lieber, an employment lawyer and founder and CEO of Workplace Answers.
It's especially important to reach teenagers, who are often in their first jobs and hesitant to make waves that might jeopardize future employment prospects, she says. They may know that a manager is wrong when he gropes them, but they are hesitant to defend themselves.
"It's extremely difficult to get them to report," Lieber says.
Making them more confident in fighting back requires communicating with them better. "Organizations need to speak to them in a language they understand," Lieber says. Companies also should monitor interactions between supervisors and employees and respond to complaints.
A former congressional page says that the weakness of the Capitol Hill program is not the training it gives to the high school-age students who work in Congress.
The pages were told in no uncertain terms what kind of behavior would get them sent home, says Moira Whelan, who is now director of strategy and outreach at the National Security Network.
And there was no doubt that the directors of the school, dorm and work sections of the page program would protect a student's identity if he or she reported harassment, Whelan says.
The question was what would happen next.
"There was no clear line of authority," she says. "There was no designated advisor who could take whatever it was you had forward. It becomes no one's job when it's everyone's job."

As we first reported in 2009, while the sales price of the then Mayor's new abode at 1581 Masonic was reported on the MLS as "confidential," it was a plugged-in tipster that tipped us off to the $2,738,000 contract price of the District 5 home which had been listed for $2,980,000 (the number which would have been used for MLS based stats).
As a prescient plugged-in reader wrote at the time:
I bet if he loses the governor's primary or the actual race, within six months he will be back in his natural habitat, well north of California Street, or perhaps in Marin. This neighborhood is purely a political decision.
With the Newsoms now moving to Marin, their 3,051 square foot home on Masonic has hit the market listed for $2,750,000.

This has been on Barbra Callans site for a while now so they have been quietly marketing this home for a bit here. This will be interesting to watch.
Ouch — who decorated that living room!!! Maybe it works better in person but those combinations are not working well with my morning coffee. (The red lights, the painting, the rug…)
sf design: looks like a fair contribution from Restoration Hardware according to their current catalog.
What does it say about a city when the former mayor cannot wait to move out?
I think it says more about the mayor than the city.
I liked the furniture when it was in his condo at 1101 Green, but it doesn't really fit here… The remodel of this place looks fairly tasteful, but it's hard to tell from the photos. It seems a little cramped. It'll probably sell for asking fairly quickly given his contacts.
I have no real opinion on his Marin move… It's such an odd family. Maybe Jennifer really does want to spend more time with her father. If you don't remember… he was gored by an elephant while on safari a couple of years ago.

I don't know Jennifer's Dad, but it sure would be strange if her Dad "and" his cousin (who founded Siebel Systems) were both gored by an elephant a couple years ago…
To be perfectly honest, I find it a bit odd when anybody gets gored by an elephant.
Opps! I read that article a year ago and for some reason was a little confused. Yes, it wasn't her dad… Her dad is Ken, Tom was one gored by the elephant.. lol..
Already sale pending in 4.5 days. Wow, everyone wants to live where the mayor used to live!
I never know what to think about these sales. Remember his condo at 1101 Green sold for only 2% under asking one month after it was listed in 4/09, which was pretty much the nadir of the high-end condo market. Now this is in firm escrow "a few days" after it was officially listed. As I said, Newsom clearly has the contacts to dump a property fast. I'm also sure the agent already had a buyer lined up well before it hit the market. She did the same thing with 3176 Washington. Unofficially on the market for months… Officially on the market and sold in a week. Gotta keep those days on the market low I guess..
Sold! At asking.
Da – yum. That was fast. Good to be a seller when you have the ability to influence big political decisions.

Honesdale National Bank expands to Lackawanna County
After wanting to expand to Lackawanna County for years, Honesdale National Bank expects to open a new branch in the Eynon section of Archbald by the end of the year.
Outside its Wayne County base, Honesdale National Bank has branches in Kingston, Montdale and Forest City.
"We've been looking for a branch in the valley for some time," said bank Vice President Mark Graziadio. "This opportunity came up and this helps us fill that area in."
Honesdale National Bank has some customers in the area already, he said. They may have loans with the bank, but were holding off getting deposit and checking accounts because they didn't feel like going all the way to the Montdale branch. He said the bank also has significant commercial clients who will be better served by the new branch.
The chance came as a result of "musical chairs" among banking institutions in the Eynon area when First National Bank Corp. closed its branch at 800 Business Route 6 on Nov. 10.
The site had long been a location for the Community Bank & Trust, a bank that was acquired by the Hermitage-based FNB Corp. in 2011. That vacancy prompted the P&G Mehoopany Federal Credit Union to move from 202 Betty St. around the corner into FNC Corp.'s former home.
HNB is moving into the Betty Street location. The bank plans renovations and the addition of a drive-through, Mr. Graziadio said. Bank locations require approval from federal regulators. HNB expects to get that approval within a month and open the branch by the end of the year.

Out with the new, in with the old
International | This troubled nation needs to return to its past before charting its future
Theoretically, Gen. John Abizaid could find himself in Baghdad and Monrovia in the same week. The new head of U.S. Central Command must give orders over hot spots in both Iraq and Liberia, along with 23 other countries in the command in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East.
Troop commitment to the West African civil war is nearly nonexistent compared to troop levels in the Middle East-300 soldiers in Liberia versus a quarter-million in the Iraqi region. But the dispatch of even a few soldiers to police an internal conflict has raised questions about mission validity nonetheless.
"The fact that our soldiers won't be coming home from Iraq on time underscores the reason we shouldn't rush to join the Nigerians and others deploying to Liberia," writes Heritage Foundation policy analyst Jack Spencer. In a recent report he argues that U.S. forces are "stretched almost to the breaking point" with the war on terrorism, operations in Afghanistan, peacekeeping in the Balkans, and looming threats over North Korea. In addition to the hundreds of U.S. soldiers on the ground patrolling a ceasefire agreement ahead of a UN-sponsored army of West African soldiers, there are 2,500 U.S. Marines waiting off the coast of Liberia in three warships.
Despite the criticism, the Bush administration has been arguing for its growing military presence in Africa. Military strategists, too, are paying closer attention than ever. The United States has beefed up a new anti-terror base in Djibouti, a predominantly Muslim nation in the Horn of Africa, poised conveniently at the mouth of the Red Sea and across from Yemen and Saudi Arabia.
The Pentagon has kept quiet about long-term plans at the base but has used it as a turnstile for special forces hunting terrorists in the region. With growing evidence of al-Qaeda terror cells in East Africa, along with attacks on Israeli locations in Kenya, clandestine military activity is likely to continue.
But military intervention isn't always the solution to Africa's woes. "A lot of these are low-level criminal conflicts," said retired Army colonel Daniel Henk, who chaired the Department of Defense Africa Center for Strategic Studies. "More African conflicts could be solved by law enforcement rather than military involvement."
Mr. Henk, who now teaches at the U.S. Air War College, said that with better law enforcement nations like Liberia could cut off destabilizing flows of weapons, narcotics, and criminals before those problems escalate into civil war.
To that end, both the State Department and Justice Department-together with the Pentagon-support extensive law-enforcement training exercises across the continent. Two weeks ago Central Command, with the State Department, sponsored a three-day meeting in Ethiopia to discuss security issues with African military and civilian leaders. The meeting, an annual event called Golden Spear, draws about a dozen African nations together with Central Command officers. Perhaps most in need of the training, with a spiraling conflict that provoked international intervention, Liberia failed to send a representative as President Charles Taylor prepared to step down from office.
Many who call for U.S. forces in Liberia cite the country's American roots but ignore its Christian history. Former American slave Lott Carey returned to the area that became Liberia as one of the first black missionaries back to Africa. He started a church and became governor of the new territory. His reason for leaving America: "I am an African, and in this country, however meritorious my conduct and respectable my character, I cannot receive due to either," he said. "I wish to get to a country where I shall be estimated by my merits, not by my complexion, and I feel bound to labor for my suffering race."
Liberia led the way in Africa as an independent nation, the only uncolonized nation in the midst of European colonies from 1847 to 1980. The country got its start before the U.S. Civil War when the American Colonization Society sent freed slaves back to Africa.
At that time Liberia had a system of representative government, with three branches and a balance of power, and an elected president. Some said the society was just trying to get blacks out of the United States. But the objective was to allow former slaves to have an opportunity to run their own affairs politically and socially in Africa. The original 1847 national documents express noble Christian desires similar to Puritan reasons for leaving Europe to come to America.
"Our churches, for the worship of our Creator, everywhere to be seen, bear testimony to our piety and to our acknowledgment of His Providence," the declaration says. "The Native African bowing down with us before the altar of the living God, declares that from us, feeble as we are, the light of Christianity has gone forth; while upon that curse of curses, the slave trade, a deadly blight has fallen as far as our influence extends." One of Liberia's early presidents, Joseph J. Roberts, saw the new nation as raised up by God for a special purpose of showing Africans the way out of slavery.
Churches and missions played important parts in the early years of the new nation. The Ladies Dorcas Society was started as early as 1843 by the Methodist Church to help the poor. Settlers, as returning freed slaves were called, adopted orphaned native children.
But some accused the settlers of colonizing the new nation and its native Africans just as Europeans did in other parts of the continent. Their biggest challenge was introducing native Africans to the Christian way of life that the settlers brought with them. They were a diverse group even in the 19th century, including former slaves, natives growing up in settler families, and Africans freed from slave-trading ships on the way to the New World.
Yet the settlers and the new nation did not always live up to high ideals of freedom and representative government. Some men became polygamists. Alcohol became a problem, as in the United States, prompting a temperance movement and a debate in the national legislature.
Historian Tom Shick suggests that the impact of the mission work in the 19th century was limited, with less than half of the settler population in 1843 having membership in major churches.
But for all such weaknesses, Liberia was a nation free of colonial rule, in contrast to other African countries controlled by Europeans. Liberia developed a balance of power among three branches of government that made it stand out on the continent. Competing political parties battled each other for the presidency and for seats in Congress. By the 1920s and 1930s, voting rights expanded to include indigenous groups. Intermarriage bridged the gap between settlers and natives.
But opportunity and power-sharing did not flourish fast enough for some. Intense criticism of the government in the 1970s led to a military coup in 1980. Led by Samuel Doe, it had the romanticized overtones of the French Revolution but ultimately only succeeded in setting off one cycle of violence after another.
Mr. Doe and his followers murdered the elected president, William Tolbert, then shot his cabinet on the beach. Some Liberians hailed the revolution as legitimate, but developments since 1980 prove otherwise. Mr. Doe reaped what he sowed, dying at the hands of rebels who launched a civil war against his government in 1989. In the aftermath of helping launch that civil war, Charles Taylor ruled over the country, facing rebellions similar to the one he launched against the Doe government. Years into fighting two main rebel movements, he stepped down from office on Aug. 11 under pressure from the United States and west African nations.
With Mr. Taylor in Nigerian exile, the challenge of Liberia is immense for any peacekeeping troops. Government remnants and rebels took an important step on Aug. 18, signing a peace accord that could end three years of fighting.
"Today is a good day. Today is a happy day. The war is over," rebel leader Sekou Conneh declared, exchanging copies of the deal with his rebel and government counterparts, and embracing them.
Blending once-warring factions into a two-year transitional government is the country's next challenge. A UN tribunal has indicted Mr. Taylor for war crimes, for aiding rebel movements in Sierra Leone, and for sponsoring atrocities that include cross-amputations (cutting off the right hand and left foot) and cannibalism. But a bigger challenge remains: whether the country can recover its original vision of Christian liberty and stability in a way appropriate for the 21st century.

Click on the poem to unpack it: a proof of concept
[On my old blog host, I had figured out a way to make my interlinear gloss appear and disappear when you clicked on the lines of the poem below. It was pretty clever! Alas, I'm now on WordPress, and I haven't yet been able to figure out how to run a javascript applet. For the moment, then, here's Wyatt's poem and my gloss without any clickability. —CC, 10 July 2013]
They Flee from Me
by Thomas Wyatt
Remembering lost lovers is a bittersweet pleasure.
They flee from me that sometime did me seek
Thomas Wyatt seems to be looking back at his lovers from middle age, though he can't have been too old when he wrote it; he didn't live to be forty. When this poem was first published, in an anthology that appeared in 1557, a decade and a half after his death, the editor gave the following explanation of what happens in it: "The lover showeth how he is forsaken of such as he sometime enjoyed." By tradition, men hunt, and women are hunted, but love didn't always quite work that way even in the sixteenth century, and no sooner does Wyatt introduce the metaphor of hunting than he messes with it. In the very first line, the poet is hunting creatures that once hunted him.
With naked foot stalking in my chamber.
Are they deer? "To stalk," wrote one of Wyatt's 19th-century commentators, "means to steal softly with noiseless step." But a hunter also stalks. Naked feet, stalking—I imagine that in the darkness, the poet's bedroom chamber has become overgrown with verdure, and maybe even forested, like Max's in Where the Wild Things Are. Or perhaps the creatures are ghosts. Infidelity and death are two ways of losing a lover to time.
I have seen them gentle tame and meek
As the poet remembers how the creatures came to him, his memories of them also seem to approach, advancing from the simple past to the present perfect tense. They're so docile that the reader may wonder whether hunting really is the metaphor in play. The creatures seem to have offered themselves to the poet freely, like the animals who submitted themselves to Adam for naming in the Garden of Eden.
That now are wild and do not remember
Tame in one line, wild in the next. However accustomed to his touch the creatures once were, they don't know his hand any more; they no longer come when called. I'm reminded of Lewis Carroll's Fawn, who lets Alice clasp his neck as the two of them walk together through the wood where things have no name, only to shy away from her once he discovers, upon emerging from the wood, that he's prey and she's a predator.
That sometime they put themselves in danger
The note of danger returns the reader to his first guess: The poet does seem to be describing an episode of hunting, after all. Hunters lay lures; they hope their victims don't perceive the threat until too late. But the word danger is rhymed with remember and chamber, raising the complicating possibility that, whatever direction the vector of hazard may have pointed in the past, it's the poet who's at risk now, in peril for having ventured so far into memory.
To take bread at my hand; and now they range
Maybe it's hard to distinguish hunting from domestication because the fate of a cow or pig isn't all that different from that of a hunted deer. Domestication is an act of hunting that takes place in slow motion—over the course of the animal's lifetime—in a confined space.
Busily seeking with a continual change.
Suddenly the creatures have escaped the confined space; abruptly the metaphor of hunter and deer has dropped away. By betraying an interest in change for its own sake, the fugitives reveal that they have the moral complexity and disreputableness of human beings. I suppose you could describe the "seeking" of the creatures as foraging, if you insisted on finding a way to continue the venatorial metaphor, but I suspect that the important discovery here is that metaphor isn't able to hold them.
The poet's tone of voice shifts. Perhaps because he made himself vulnerable in the first stanza, he starts the second one with a touch of bluster.
Thanked be fortune, it hath been otherwise
It would hardly be courtly, let alone gentlemanly, for a poet to boast of his conquests. But after a confession of general romantic failure, in what sounds like middle age, a little boasting about his youth seems licensed. "I graunte I do not professe chastite," Wyatt once admitted.
Twenty times better; but once in special
Let me tell you about this one time when I totally scored.
In thin array after a pleasant guise
When her loose gown from her shoulders did fall,
The poet is undressing the woman, or rather, recalling how her clothes fell from her.
And she me caught in her arms long and small;
Notice that it's she who caught him. Rather gallantly, he resists describing her naked body, even while describing how it was revealed, until he comes to her arms. It isn't indiscreet to describe a woman's arms, and somehow the inherent modesty of arms makes it all the more poignant that he lingers over them.
Therewithal sweetly did me kiss,
And softly said, Dear heart, how like you this?
This is an immortal line. Wyatt's 19th-century commentator is at pains to insist on "the propriety of this image," maintaining that it represents a convention of chivalry: "whenever a lady accepted the service of a knight, . . . she gave him a kiss, and this was considered to be an inviolable bond of obligation." No doubt the kiss that Wyatt received did play on a chivalric convention, but the bond in question turned out not to be inviolable, and it's the erotic intensity of the image that brings tears to my eyes. I know that the phrasing of the woman's question doesn't sound colloquial today, but I feel confident that the rhythm of it was natural in Wyatt's day. In fact I feel confident that a woman once existed who said these exact words to Wyatt while he was in love with her—I feel as if I've heard her say them to him—and I'm sorry, but I imagine that she was doing more than kissing him while she spoke. "Dere hert," is how the words are spelled in the surviving manuscript and in the first publication of the poem. The poet has himself become the deer and the hart, not clearly distinguished from dear and heart in 16th-century orthography. He was and still is willing to be taken. It's for this moment, and for the concentration of pleasure into this moment, that she once came into his room, that he is revisiting the memory now, and that we are reading the poem.
In the third stanza, the poet's tone of voice shifts again, turning conversational, even plain. He acknowledges that he has asked us to believe in the reality of a moment that even he has trouble still believing in.
It was no dream: I lay broad waking.
Today we would say wide awake rather than broad waking, but the meaning is the same. He experienced the woman's love with the channels of his senses completely open.
But all is turned through my gentleness
He has been too kind to her. By gentleness he means not just the mildness of his manners but also the gentility of them. His highmindedness. His willingness to play the role of Lancelot to Guinevere—to let her go back to King Arthur if she wants to (Wyatt was long thought to have been a lover of Anne Boleyn's before she became the wife of Henry VIII, though the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography doubts the liaison), or to let her take up with another knight altogether. Or maybe there's a note of self-reproach in the poet's description of himself as gentle. Maybe he means that he didn't hold on to her hard enough.
Into a strange fashion of forsaking;
Already in the 16th century, seeing other people was a bold thing that lovers tried, in order to prove they weren't hamstrung by conventional morals. Fitzgerald, on the Jazz Age: "I remember a perfectly mated, contented young mother asking my wife's advice about 'having an affair right away,' though she had no one especially in mind."
And I have leave to go of her goodness,
Leave means "permission," and of her goodness, "thanks to her graciousness." But puns multiply in the poem's closing lines, and her goodness also means "her goodness," which the poet would rather not leave. Note that this line, like the two preceding it, is in the present tense. It turns out that the affair must not have happened in the poet's long-ago youth, as the first two stanzas suggested; the loss of it is happening now. The poet and the woman have just recently had the conversation where they decided on their new terms, and they're still repeating the terms to themselves, in an effort to convince themselves of the rightness of them. From the first stanza to the third, there has also been a shift from plural to singular, from they to her. It's a poem crafted by means of what people in Hollywood call "cheating": the artful dovetailing of unmatched parts to create an impression of unity.
And she also to use newfangleness.
It's strange that newfangled still sounds like a novelty word, when it happens to be quite an old one. One of Wyatt's 20th-century commentators observes that "the word is often used by Chaucer." In Wyatt's day it could refer to both an item that is "objectionably modern," as the OED puts it, and to an immoderate inclination to try such items. In the ballad "The Boy and the Mantle," for example, Queen Guinevere is attracted to a cloak, despite being told that it has the power to expose unfaithful wives, because "the Ladye shee was new fangle." Wyatt and his lover have given each other permission to try a new and trendy way of being in a romance, which may amount to a propensity for new and trendy lovers.
But since that I so kindly am served,
Kindly here means both "with kindness" and "in kind": since Wyatt is being treated with such kindness, . . . since Wyatt is being given the kind of treatment he gave his lover, . . . Both meanings are ironic. The implication is that Wyatt has no right to complain of his lover's so-called goodness and so-called gentleness, because he started it. She's only repaying him in his own coin. According to one of Wyatt's 20th-century commentators, the word served in this line may suggest a reversal: the courtly lover is being served by his mistress instead of serving her. But what kind of cavalier serves his mistress by loving others?
I would fain to know what she hath deserved.
If Wyatt is getting what he deserved, namely, a taste of his own medicine, what does his lover deserve? On a first reading the question sounds almost rhetorical, as if the poet were making a half-hearted attempt to be cynical at the expense of his old lover, so as to prove to himself that he doesn't miss her. But it might be a real question. Perhaps the answer is "Wyatt," since his lover doesn't seem to have behaved any better (or worse) than he did. Or maybe the most that she deserves is this poem—a memory of the happiness they briefly made with each other, set somewhat ironically in verse—their real love recalled and lost all over again in a courtly form.

What do you think about this product?

Great, except...
I like this little kit. I had every thing I needed and though a but bulky I like the case. My only complaint is that the spatula melted on the first use when making pancakes. Keep in mind I was using GSI outdoor pans and stove. So I wasn't so thrilled about that.
the kitchen sink...
From cutting board to whisk, to utensils, to ladel, this kit has it all. the case is made of a sturdy, form-keeping material so you dont have to worry about squashing stuff when you pack. in fact, there was plenty of room for much more like lighters, firestarters, additional spices, and more.
This is an essential, so glad we got it. Has all the things you need for eating while in the outdoors. Really sturdy case, organized, and makes camping more enjoyable.
Excellent for car camping
We bought this set as a one-size-fits-all car camping untensil extraordinaire and it's exactly that. We love the versatility of all the items included and love that all we have to do is grab the case and we know we've got everything we need. There's even extra room inside for a set of plates and other goodies.
Keep in mind, it's a big case, bigger than we expected. So I would not recommend this for anything other than car camping as it will take up a ludicrous amount of space in your backpack.
This is an awesome little case, the cutlery isn't too flimsy, but still light weight. The size isnt' too big (I would say around 8x11") and it's lightweight. Great for car camping or camping with only a small hike. Won't go anywhere without it!
GSI Outdoors Kitchen Set 23
Hey! We bought this set to take with us when we tent camped on motorcycle trips. This is a very light kit that has just what we want. The eating utensils are substantial and the cooking tools are great. Love the case ~ fits easily on motorcycle in stuff bag.
Simple storage
I was intending on piecing most of what this kit contains out but with the addition of a great little storage kit, figured the whole shebang was the way to go. I was correct in that assumption. I'm not scrapping around trying to find out where all my stuff is since its in one convenient location that I grab and go.
Great for camping
My friend took this on a bike ride we did down the west coast. We had a support vehicle so we were by no means traveling light. But for car camping and short trips it's a great set to bring along.
Review Title
Another great item to have while camping although unless I was witha big group I wouldnt take this backpacking. It is light weight for all the stuff it has in it but you have to completely dry the sponge and towel otherwise everything gets to be a mess
add a ziploc baggie for the sponge (and the towel if it's sopping wet), but leave the baggie open when you store it so that a) your other stuff doesn't get to be such a big mess and b) your sponge can still dry.

The EZ Cracker claims it can crack eggs, separate the whites and strip shells from hard boiled eggs in seconds with no mess and no fuss. We review it before you buy it.
Maureen Cochran knows her way around a kitchen. She's cracked many an egg over the years. But even Maureen can't keep her hands clean. "It gets a little messy when you have that egg all over your fingers," she said, "and I'm real particular about that."
For 20 bucks plus shipping and handling, the EZ Cracker claims it will make breaking eggs easy. "Feels good," Maureen said. "It's got a nice grip." The directions were easy enough. Just pop the egg into the cradle and squeeze the handle. And sure enough our egg was in a bowl and the egg shell was ready to throw away. "Wow! Look at that," Maureen said. "That's so cool." It was pretty easy and a little fun, perhaps something your children could do under proper supervision. "That's very good," Maureen said.
But she wasn't nearly as impressed with the egg separator. It is an extra strainer that you attach under the EZ Cracker. Maureen had trouble getting the white to strain though it, even accidently dropping the yoke into her bowl of egg whites. We never could remove the shells from the boiled eggs with out damaging them. "For the boiled egg," she said, "I'd have to take a pass on that."
The set also comes with the EZ Scrambler that's supposed to scramble the egg right in the shell. But piercing the egg with the needle sharp wire made Maureen nervous. And the results were disappointing, Maureen's egg was only partially scrambled.
Neither the EZ Scrambler or the EZ Cracker are dishwasher safe, they're hand wash only. So is Maureen egg-cited about this new kitchen gadget? "My rating for the EZ Scrambler would have to be two thumbs down. Just did not do it," she said. "My rating for the EZ Cracker would be two thumbs up."

Deep Water by Patricia Highsmith
Book Description
The great revival of interest in Patricia Highsmith continues with this work that reveals the chilling reality behind the idyllic facade of American suburban life.
In Deep Water, set in the small town of Little Wesley, Vic and Melinda Meller's loveless marriage is held together only by a precarious arrangement whereby in order to avoid the messiness of divorce, Melinda is allowed to take any number of lovers as long as she does not desert her family. Eventually, Vic tries to win her back by...read more
Reader Reviews
At last . . ., August 10, 2003 Reviewer: vortex87 from Picnic Point, NSW, Australia I'm happy that this -- one of Patricia Highsmith's finest novels -- is back in print, because it deserves to be read. The set-up is that Vic and Melinda are unhappily married, but rather than divorce, since they have a daughter, he lets her go off and have affairs (this seems quite an interesting concept to have proposed in 1957, when this book came out) -- and you'd think that surely, a little jealousy might come in on his part, right? Right. . . . And from here, it goes off in some interesting directions. I really didn't expect the ending. And now that it's finally available, go ahead and get it! You're missing a great novel otherwise.

Opening Plenary
Good morning and welcome to the third workshop of the Trans-Pacific Network on Dismantling Transnational Illicit Networks.
Before we begin, the U.S. Department of State joins our partners to offer our condolences and deepest sympathy to all those affected by the recent flooding that has devastated this beautiful country. To express our regret for the destruction of many Thai communities and ecosystems, and to recognize the continuing courage and determination of the Royal Thai Government, emergency workers, and volunteers in rebuilding, let us please observe a moment of silence. [Moment of silence.] Thank you.
It is a great pleasure to have Homeland Security Investigations Executive Associate Director James Dinkins, U.S. Department of Homeland Security; Colombo Plan Secretary General Adam Maniku, Thailand's Office of the Narcotics Control Board (ONCB) Deputy Secretary General Sukhum Opasniputh; and Royal Thai Police Deputy Commissioner General Tesa Siriwato with us this morning.
I would also like to thank the Colombo Plan for its leadership in organizing and Thailand's Office of the Narcotics Control Board (ONCB) and DHS's Homeland Security Investigations in co-hosting, as well as the many others here who have worked with us to ensure the successful launch of this workshop: the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC), the Royal Thai Police, and the Australian Federal Police.
On behalf of The Royal Thai Government and the United States, we welcome all of our partners and applaud your leadership and active participation at this important gathering in Phuket.
In recent years, the United States and other partners have launched several innovative inter-regional platforms to combat transnational crime and dismantle illicit networks that threaten the security and stability of communities around the world.
For example, in May 2011, in Lisbon, Portugal, the United States and the European Union co-hosted the Trans-Atlantic Symposium on Dismantling Transnational Illicit Networks, a practical dialogue among senior European, U.S., West African and Western Hemisphere law enforcement and judicial officials to strengthen international cooperation to combat transnational criminal threats and illicit networks that span the Atlantic including drugs, arms, human smuggling/trafficking, money laundering and illicit finance, corruption, and maritime crimes.
Similarly, since 2009, the U.S. has partnered with Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, and other partners in Asia and the Pacific, to establish the Trans-Pacific platform: a network among senior law enforcement, security, and justice sector officials to strengthen cooperation to fight cross-border criminal organizations and other transnational threat networks with our own networks across the Asia Pacific region. The United States hosted the first Trans-Pacific Symposium in November 2009, in Honolulu, Hawaii. In November 2010, in Christchurch, New Zealand and the United States co-hosted the second workshop of the Trans-Pacific Symposium.
As President Barack Obama underscored in his message to delegates at the first Trans-Pacific Symposium, and most recently in unveiling the Strategy to Combat Transnational Organized Crime: Addressing Converging Threats to National Security (July 2011):
During the past 15 years, technological innovation and globalization have proven to be an overwhelming force for good. However, transnational criminal organizations have taken advantage of our increasingly interconnected world to expand their illicit enterprises. Criminal networks are not only expanding their operations, but they are also diversifying their activities, resulting in a convergence of transnational threats that has evolved to become more complex, volatile, and destabilizing.
The theme of this year's workshop is inter-agency cooperation in combating corruption and illicit trade. Coordination across the region and sub-regional levels through cross-cutting criminal threats such as, for example, narcotics, environmental crime, counterfeits, money-laundering, and corruption can assist us on both a regional and global level to effectively combat cross-border crimes and transnational illicit networks. As the world becomes more interconnected, this kind of cooperation becomes ever more important to fighting transnational crimes.
Among others, the goals that we will be highlighting here in Phuket in the next couple of days are shutting down illicit markets, disrupting and dismantling criminal entrepreneurs and illicit networks via net-centric approaches, threat mitigation coordinated responses, and enhanced capacity-building efforts that strengthen our collective action to combat illicit trade.
Our keynote speakers today will help to inform our understanding on the challenges that we face today across Asia Pacific region and will provide us with ideas and inspiration as we work together in the coming days to continue to strengthen our networks and cooperation to dismantle transnational illicit networks.
Combating Lucrative Illicit Trade and Converging Threats (Session I)
This morning session is about combating illicit trade and projecting the current criminal threat environment across Asia and Pacific. We are honored to have Pierre Lapaque, Chief, Implementation Support Section, Organized Crime Branch, Division for Treaty Affairs, United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC); Dr. John Picarell, National Institute of Justice, U.S. Department of Justice; Steve Kleppe, Homeland Security Investigations, U.S. Department of Homeland Security; General Chanwut Vajrabukka, Chief Advisor for Law Enforcement ASEAN-Wildlife Enforcement Network (WEN); and Steven Galster, Executive Director, ARREST Program, Freeland Foundation.
As discussed this morning, and highlighted in recent years in our past trans-Pacific meetings, increasingly sophisticated and organized webs of crime and corruption fuel greater insecurity, instability, and subversion across our economies, threaten our communities, and imperil the health and safety of our people. Three thematic streams in this year's workshop are: narcotics trafficking (supply and demand side), illicit logging and associated environmental crimes, and counterfeits. These three themes together cost governments and economies tens of billions of dollars each year.
Criminal entrepreneurs and corrupt actors cause significant damage to the world financial system through the subversion, exploitation, and distortion of legitimate markets and economic activity. U.S. and international business leaders worry that their firms are being put at a competitive disadvantage by transnational crime and corruption, particularly in emerging markets where many perceive that rule of law is less reliable. The World Bank estimates about $1 trillion is spent each year to bribe public officials, causing an array of economic distortions and damage to legitimate economic activity. The price of doing business in countries affected by transnational crime and illicit networks is also rising as companies budget for additional security costs, adversely impacting foreign direct investment in many parts of the world.
Moreover, as a result of illicit trade, our companies experience a loss of profits due to the availability of counterfeits or gray market distribution; destruction of brand identity and reputation; loss of biodiversity and green growth; and other consequences. Economies across the Pacific face an increasingly unstable investment climate; mistrust in business relationships; and a lack of competitiveness on the world market. Counterfeit pharmaceuticals, pirated software, narcotics, and other compromised consumer goods threaten the health and safety of the communities we have all sworn to protect.
The convergence of these networks is of particular concern today, as their confluence threatens the interdependent commercial, transportation, and transactional systems that facilitate free trade and the movement of people throughout the global economy. These converging threats jeopardize governance, development, security, and the integrity of markets and supply chains.
Despite demonstrable counternarcotics successes in recent years, narcotics-trafficking remains a serious threat to the health, safety, security, and financial well-being of communities across the globe. The demand for illicit drugs fuels the power, impunity, and violence of criminal organizations around the globe. In addition to dismantling narcotics-trafficking cartels, sustained demand reduction, drug prevention, treatment, and education programs and strategies are important in reducing drug use, drug-related violence, youth involvement in gangs, and other criminal activity.
Environmental crime – from illegal logging and fishing to the illicit trade in endangered species and their parts or dumping of, and illicit trade in, hazardous materials – is a global issue and one that deeply affects the sustainability of communities across the Asia-Pacific region. Countries have begun recognizing this lucrative and expansive industry as a major transnational criminal threat. The enduring threats posed by transnational environmental crimes means that building transparent partnerships across national borders is more important than ever.
This year's trans-Pacific workshop has launched the Illicit Logging and Associated Trade theme to enhance cross-sector regional cooperation to combat criminal networks illicitly trading in illegally harvested or stolen timber. According to the OECD, illegal logging in developing countries causes losses of revenue in excess of USD 15 billion per year. The proceeds from natural resources that are illegally extracted or harvested enter the global financial system, crippling the potential growth and development of communities and economies.
It is important to reinforce our commitment to strengthening forest law enforcement sectors and criminal justice communities both within and across our national borders. We must take concrete measures to combat illicit logging and associated trade in all three areas: prevention, detection, and suppression.
Counterfeits, including fake medicines, are another profitable area of illicit crimes. Fake, falsified, and dangerous medicines continue to enter our supply chains and markets, with harmful effects on communities, healthcare institutions, and businesses. Fake medicines often contain inactive or toxic ingredients than can increase drug resistance, prolong patients' suffering, and even cause death. We must ensure that only safe medicines enter our markets, homes, and health care facilities in our economies.
We must ramp up efforts to investigate and prosecute the criminal actors who produce and sell illicit goods such as counterfeit medicines, while we simultaneously strengthen the integrity of our legitimate supply chains.
We must confront criminal entrepreneurs and illicit market actors that navigate between licit and illicit worlds, tainting supply chains and compromising the integrity of our markets and institutions. Moreover, opaque supply chains, compromised markets, and the corruption that accompanies illicit trade hurt our legitimate businesses; diminish brand identities, reputations, and returns on research and innovation; and increase operating costs and investment risks to all market investors.
We must continue to deny safe haven to kleptocrats and criminal entrepreneurs around the world, bar their illicitly-acquired assets, and strongly signal that continued theft from our economies will not be tolerated. Following illicit financial routes must be an integral part of our strategies to deny criminals and the respective networks access to channels to launder their illicit wealth.
Depriving the networks of their profits and funding is one of the most effective ways to deter them. This requires a holistic, comprehensive anti-money laundering regime with the ability to trace, freeze, and seize assets related to illicit financial flows.
From narcotics to environmental crimes to counterfeits, criminal networks are not only expanding their operations, but are also diversifying their activities, resulting in a convergence of transnational threats that have evolved to become a more complex, multi-dimensional network. Criminal organizations and terrorist groups are increasingly forging alliances of convenience for logistical and financial support at nodes around the world. The convergence of these networks results in the need for cross-cutting licit networks and cooperation among agencies to partner together to combat and dismantle criminal networks.
Our discussion today will bring a sharper focus by examining the threats across the Asia-Pacific region, including the evolution of cross-border threats; the trends and conditions that allow international organized criminal networks to threaten the collective interests of jurisdictions across the Asia-Pacific by leveraging the global illicit hubs and routes to advance their criminal enterprises; and the fault-lines that are being exploited and bring together criminals, facilitators, black market profiteers, terrorists, and other illicit actors from across the globe.
Concluding Remarks (Day 1): Transforming Partnerships Across the Asia-Pacific Region to Combat Transnational Crime and Corruption
Over the past several years -- from Singapore to Sendai and from Honolulu to Christchurch -- and now this week here in Phuket, communities across Asia and the Pacific recognize the harms posed by transnational criminal and illicit networks.
The Phuket workshop continues to advance the strategic objectives from the inaugural Trans-Pacific Symposium on Dismantling Transnational Illicit Networks hosted by the United States in Hawaii in November 2009, and co-organized by the governments of Australia and New Zealand, and which brought together 25 economies from Asia, Latin America, and the Pacific Islands, as well as senior representatives from international organizations such as the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN), the Pacific Islands Forum (PIF), Organization of American States (OAS), the Asia Pacific Group on Money-Laundering (APG), INTERPOL, the World Customs Organization (WCO), and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC).
New Zealand and the United States co-hosted the second Trans-Pacific workshop in November 2010 in Christchurch, New Zealand, which highlighted the importance of inter-regional partnerships to combat transnational criminal threats and illicit networks including by sharing information and best practices in regional challenges such as narcotics trafficking, counterfeit medicines, trafficking in persons, illegal logging, money laundering, and corruption that facilitates illicit trade.
As APEC economies meet in Hawaii on November 8-13, 2011, for the APEC Leaders' Summit, we must continue to fulfil the commitment made in 2010 in Yokohama, Japan, by APEC leaders to leverage collective action to combat corruption and illicit trade by promoting clean government, fostering market integrity, and strengthening relevant judicial and law enforcement systems. APEC leaders continue to encourage member economies to dismantle corrupt and illicit networks across the Asia Pacific region.
As APEC Chair of the Anti-Corruption and Transparency Experts Working Group (ACT), we are partnering with other APEC sub-fora and the international community to spearhead efforts to investigate and prosecute the illicit actors who produce and sell harmful counterfeits and traffick illicit trade, while simultaneously strengthening the integrity of our supply chains, as well as our global financial system. We are also working with APEC senior officials to launch an APEC public-private partnership to combat corruption and illicit trade and dismantle illicit networks at every link in affected supply chains and prosecute criminal entrepreneurs who arbitrage weak and corrupt law enforcement systems and exploit internal border controls for illicit gain and enrichment.
At the APEC September 2011 Third Senior Officials Meeting in San Francisco, investigators, prosecutors, and regulators, from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, including Homeland Security Investigations, the U.S. Department of Justice, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and others, coordinated with their APEC counterparts by organizing an APEC workshop on Investigating and Prosecuting Corruption and Illicit Trade: Stemming the Flows of Counterfeits and Dismantling Illicit Networks to impart best practices, law enforcement techniques, share case studies, and explore tools that can equip APEC economies to strengthen their resiliency, mitigate vulnerabilities, dismantle transnational illicit networks, and strengthen integrity in supply chains.
Finally as noted this morning, in July 2011, the White House released the Strategy to Combat Transnational Organized Crime: Addressing Converging Threats to National Security (http://www.whitehouse.gov/administration/eop/nsc/transnational-crime), which aims to transform partnerships globally to protect our economies from the destabilizing influence of transnational criminal networks and their corruptive power.
Leveraging the Presidential Strategy as a roadmap, the United States will work with our partners in Asia and the Pacific and beyond to protect strategic markets and maintain the integrity of the global financial system and disrupt transnational illicit networks.
By fighting networks with networks and reducing arbitrage opportunities through the harmonization of our regulatory and law enforcement efforts, we can dismantle the criminal opportunity structure at every node.
We are committed to shutting down illicit markets, putting criminal entrepreneurs and kleptocrats out of business, and combating converging threats and networks with effective coordination between investigations, prosecutions, and intelligence-based regional policing.
As also reflected in the National Strategy, the United States will continue to leverage inter-regional partnerships and networks across the Pacific and Atlantic to mobilize greater collective action, joint cases, and common approaches with our international partners to combat transnational criminal threats.
We hope that our dialogue this week is fruitful and advances our common mission to confront the security challenges that we face together.
Thank you.

Just saw a question posted with the qa tag. How valuable is this tag, really? The tag wiki makes it sound like all questions in the tag should relate to "quality assurance."
If the question has value and relates to a real programming problem, does it really matter if it's a problem that someone ran into when doing quality assurance testing? Can we burninate this one?
